The Washington Nationals are only 1-6 over their last seven games. That’s not likely to change Thursday afternoon with Joan Adon on the mound, who has a road ERA of 8.44! Get our Wash/Phi prediction here!

Thursday blesses us with a pair of day games including a matchup between Kris Bubic and Justin Verlander. The Bub doesn’t give up many dingers, but is an absolute wet paper bag when it comes to walks + hits as he’s given up a combined 51 over his last 30 innings. Meanwhile, the ‘Stros veteran right hander has only allowed 6 hits and one earned run over his last 15 frames. The sportsbooks have made Houston a huge -345 favorite and -1.5 -165 on the runline.

Runs could be at a premium in an excellent pitching matchup between St Louis’ Miles Mikolas and Atlanta’s Max Fried. The Cardinals have been struggling on offense of late, while the Braves will hope to keep things rolling, despite Mikolas having a WHIP of just .99. Get our STL/ATL pick here.

The New York Mets and Cincinnati Reds are coming off an outstanding pitcher’s duel, with the Reds coming away with a win. Will the bats wake up with David Peterson and Graham Ashcraft on the mound? Get our NYM/CIN prediction here.

The Minnesota Twins picked up a convincing win in last night’s game vs the White Sox. Chicago will turn to Lance Lynn, but Joe Ryan is coming off one of his best outings of the year. Get our MIN/CWS prediction here.

The Chicago White Sox will look to make up some ground in the AL Central, as they are 5.5 games behind the Twins. Michael Kopech has a rough stretch of starts, while Chris Archer has been steady but doesn’t work deep into games. Get our MIN/CHI pick here.

The Tampa Bay Rays will look to bounce back from being shut out in yesterday’s game but are facing Boston’s Nick Pivetta, who has a WHIP of just 1.12. Get our TB/BOS pick here.

The Padres are hoping that Mike Clevinger continues to throw ball well, but Seattle has benefited from some strong outings from Logan Gilbert. Get our SEA/SDP prediction here.
