Minnesota Twins starter Joe Ryan has a nifty 2.05 ERA over his last 22 innings and Blake Snell has allowed one earned run or less in three of his last four starts. The lone start where he got hit hard was at Coors Field, so you can confidently throw that out. Runs could be at a premium Friday evening at Petco Park!
The Washington Nationals are 3-1 in their last four games. Can they keep the hot streak going after flying cross-country back home to play the Cardinals? St. Louis will send Miles Mikolas to the mound, who has pitched really well in eight of his last nine starts. Get our Stl/Wash bet recommendation here!
A Chris Bassitt vs. Sandy Alcantara game at Marlins Park has the makings of a low scoring affair! Get our NYM/Mia prediction here!
An Orioles vs. Reds matchup with crappy pitchers throwing in the heat at Great American Ballpark sounds like an offensive explosion! Get our Bal/Cin pick here!
Justin Steeler vs. Alex Wood doesn’t sound like a big name matchup, however, both have been pitching well as of late, making this one of the best pitching matchups of the day! Runs could be at a premium with two stingy pitchers and two offenses that struggle to score! Get our Chi/SF prediction here!
A great pitcher’s duel takes place at Minute Maid Park Thursday night when the Mariners send Logan Gilbert to the hill to face off against Jose Urquidy. Both hurlers have throw above average this season. Get our Sea/Hou wager recommendation before placing your bet!
The Detroit Tigers are another team on Thursday that has a legit chance of knocking off a favored opponent as Jays starter Yusei Kikuchi has been pitched poorly lately, allowing 21 earned runs over his last 23.2 innings. It didn’t all come in one shot either! He’s been beat up on a regular basis for the better part of a month. Get our Det/Tor bet recommendation here!
The Royals have a legit shot of pulling off a win at Yankee Stadium Thursday as Brady Singer has looked really good with a 2.66 in the month of July. He’ll square off against Jameson Taillon, who has been disappointing as of late with five of his last six starts being sub-par. Get our KC/NYY prediction here!
Thursday’s abbreviated ten game schedule kicks off with an AL East day game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles. The Rays send Ryan Yarbrough to the mound to be opposed by a rejuvenated Jordan Lyles, who has pitched average to good in four of his last five starts. Get our TB/Bal pick here!
The Brewers and Twins have a quick turnaround after last night’s walk-off win for Milwaukee. Minnesota has the tough task of facing off vs Corbin Burnes. Will the Brewers continue their recent hot stretch of play? Get our MIL vs MIN prediction here.
