MLB Picks

Young Rangers lefty Cole Ragans gets thrown into the fire against the Astros Thursday. Ragans is a big-time pitching prospect but has control issues, which is a bad spot to be in vs. a patient Houston Astros lineup. He’ll be opposed by Framber Valdez, who has allowed 3 earned runs or less in each of his last 19 starts. Get our Tex/Hou bet recommendation here!

Coors Field showed it’s upside yesterday as these teams met and scored a combined 21 runs. It’ll be newly the acquired Jose Quintana taking on Kyle Freeland Wednesday night. Bookmakers have installed the as Cards heavy -160 favorites. Get our Stl/Col betting prediction here!

Just when we thought Jose Berrios was turning the corner, he got bombed in his last outing. Toronto is cold and the Orioles are playing inspired baseball at 7-1 in their last 8 games. Get our Tor/Bal bet recommendation here!

A pair of nasty southpaws meet up Wednesday afternoon in the Pacific Northwest as Nasty Nestor Cortes takes on the hard throwing Robbie Ray. These teams had a heck of a game last night, going 13 innings, and more of the same is expected at T-Mobile Park today! Get our NY/Sea pick here!

Good pitching is expected Wednesday afternoon at American Family Field, as the Tampa Bay Rays will send Jeffrey Springs to the hill to face the filthy Brandon Woodruff, who has allowed 2 runs or less in nine of his last ten games! Get our TB/Mil prediction here!

Wednesday’s MLB card contains 6 day games starting with the Red vs. Mets at 1PM ET. The Reds will send 6’7″ T.J Zeuch to the hill. Zeuch has been a gas can this season, allowing six home runs in only 15 innings. Oddsmakers expect Taijuan Walker and the Mets to destroy Cincinnati, as evidenced by the hefty -300 odds.

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole hasn’t looked good in his last 3 starts, but neither have the Mariners. Seattle will send newly acquired Luis Castillo to the mound, which gives them a decent chance against one of the most powerful squads in baseball. Get our NYY/Sea bet recommendation here!
