Most baseball bettors will jump ship when they see the name Kutter Crawford on the betting line Thursday. Keep in mind he’s young and his two blowups both came on the road. He’s actually pitched really well at home as of late and looks to be the best underdog bet on the board today. Get our Tor/Bos pick here!
Triston McKenzie has looked really good this season! He’s even better in day games, with a 1.94 ERA in 74 innings! Opponents are only hitting .161 against him in daylight. Marco Gonzales is schedule to pitch for the Seattle Mariners. He’s been average at best this season, and oftentimes inconsistent. The M’s have their hands full Thursday afternoon at T-Mobil Park!

The Angels and Rays kick off an abbreviated MLB slate Thursday at 1PM with a nice pitcher’s duel between Patrick Sandoval and Drew Rasmussen. The Halos lefty has only allowed two earned runs in his last 19.1 innings and Rasmussen only four earned runs in his last 23 frames. Runs could be at a premium at Tropicana Field today!

Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser comes off the DL just in time to get crushed by the red-hot Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday! He’ll face-off with one of the best left-handed pitchers in baseball that nobody really knows about in Andrew Heaney. The crafty lefty would be a household name if he could of stayed healthy during his career, but it just hasn’t happened. So much so, that it wouldn’t surprise us if he left this outing with some sort of injury. He’s that fragile! Get our Mil/LAD wager recommendation here!
Angels starter Mike Mayers has a career 4.98 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. That’s not going to hold up vs. Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan and a Tampa Bay offense that put up eleven runs last night. See how we’re betting Wednesday’s LAA/TB game before placing your bets!
A Lucas Giolito vs. Spenser Watkins matchup could be a pitcher’s duel or a football score, as both pitchers can be wildly effective and ineffective. Should you bet a team here or play the total? Get our CWS/Bal bet recommendation here!
Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller had a nifty 2.61 ERA in July, but has been beat up over his last two starts in which he’s allowed eight earned runs in 7.1 innings with a WHIP over almost two over that span. The Bucs are going nowhere fast at 2-10 over their last twelve games. They’ve only been able to muster up two runs over the first two games of the series. Can they be competitive against Kyle Wright who has only had one bad outing in his last nine starts? Not likely! Get our Atl/Pit prediction here!
Rangers starter Martin Perez has had a great season, but may be in for big trouble Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field where he holds a 6.82 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in limited action. Conversely, Jose Urena has looked pretty good at times this season and makes for a formidable opponent. The 30-year-old right-hander always seems to pitch better in day games, as evidenced by his career 3.48 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in daylight. Get our Tex/Col betting pick here!
Nationals pitcher Erick Fedde has been putrid on the road lately. If you throw out a good outing he had against Baltimore on 6/21, his last four starts away from home have yielded a massive 21 earned runs over only 13.2 innings. Yes, he had shoulder inflammation and has missed almost a month, but that doesn’t explain his 5.45 road ERA in 2021 either. Fedde will be opposed by lefty ace Robbie Ray, who has had some hard luck starts as of late. Ray has a 2.33 ERA this month but only one win to show for it. Get our Wash/Sea betting prediction here!
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainright has allowed one run or less in four of his last five starts! He’ll be facing Javier Assad, who will be making his major league debut Tuesday in the MLB’s lone day game. Assad is a 25-year old 6’1″ right hander who hadn’t made it above AA ball until this year.
