MLB Picks

Paolo Espino appears to be the next victim of the Los Angeles Dodgers as there’s nothing in his recent performances to suggest he’ll be able to get past the third inning at Dodger Stadium Monday night. The 35-year old righty has allowed 13 earned runs in his last 17.1 innings and has been equally bad in each of his last four starts. Get our Wash/LA wager recommendation here!

The Houston Astros appear to be getting hot as they’ve won their last five games in a row. The Oakland A’s have shown a little spice as of late as well, winning three of their last four games. Unbelievably, this will be Odorizzi’s third start in a row against Oakland. Which hot team gets the money Tuesday night in the Bay? Get our Hou/Oak bet recommendation here!

Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker hasn’t allowed a home run to his opponents in six of his last seven appearances! Could Pittsburgh be Monday’s best value bet on the board? Get our Pit/Chi prediction here!

Tough draw for the Padres after playing Sunday Night Baseball last night, hopping a plan and losing two hours going from PST to CST. Between fatigue and weak Tigers bats, runs could be at a premium and an UNDER bet is surely in consideration here!

What the heck is going on with Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta? He’s allowed 20 earned runs in his last 13.1 innings pitched, spanning over three starts! Does this qualify as an auto-fade? Get our Cle/Bos pick here!

Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN closes out the week with a great matchup between the Padres vs. Mets. The Padres look to sweet New York who has only put up a total of two runs in the series. Get our SD/NYM pick here!

The Angels have the look of a defeated team as they’re 1-9 in their last 10 games. They look to be in trouble Saturday night against “Quality Start Machine” Kyle Wright and the Atlanta Braves! Get our LAA/Atl prediction here!

The Cincinnati Reds beat the Cardinals handily yesterday giving the team it’s fifth straight win at Great American Ballpark. The loss made it the Cardinal’s fifth in their last six road games. Who gets the money Saturday? Get our Stl/Cin bet recommendation here!
