The Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies had a slugfest yesterday at Citizens Bank Ballpark in which the final score was 18-11 in favor of the home town Phillies. Wouldn’t it be fitting to have a 1-0 game the next day with a Kevin Gausman vs. Zack Wheeler pitcher’s duel? Get our Tor/Phi pick here!
D-Backs pitcher Merrill Kelly is an average to above average pitcher who always struggles with the Dodgers. I don’t mean here and there, I mean he always struggles vs. L.A. He’ll face veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw who just threw 7 innings of 2-hit ball vs. AZ. The price will be high, but is the best bet on the board tonight!
The Washington Nationals (2-6 in their last 8 games) head to Hotlanta to play face Kyle Wright who has allowed 2 earned runs or less in five of his last six games. Get our Wash/Atl betting prediction here!
An abbreviated nine game MLB slate kicks off with a day game between the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Guardians. It’ll be Sonny Gray (ERA under 2.00 since the beginning of Aug) and Cal Quantrill, who has pitched really well for Cleveland since the beginning of August. Oddsmakers have the Twins at +103 and the total has dropped from 7.5 to 7 in a game which it’s likely that runs will be at a premium. Get our Min/Cle pick here!
With Brandon Woodruff only allowing two earned runs or less in five out of his last six games, the Brewers make for a nice value bet on Saturday! The Brew Crew have won four of their last five contests, including a walk-off last night against the Yankees. Jameson Taillon has been pitching better as of late, but is still good for allowing 3+ runs over five to six innings. Get our NYY/Mil prediction before placing your bets!
Friday’s Texas Rangers vs. Tampa Bay Rays matchup features one of the best pitcher’s duels of the day! Martin Perez has allowed 2 earned runs or less in five of his last six starts. Rays starter Korey Kluber has only allowed 1 earned run over his last 13 innings at Tropicana Field. We don’t have a clue who will win this game, however, we have a solid take on the over/under! Get our Tex/TB prediction before placing your MLB bets!
We’re projecting runs galore for tonight’s probable hit-fest at Chase Field as the Padres will send gas can Sean Manaea (14 earned runs allowed over his last 9.1 innings) against Drey Jameson, who will be making his MLB debut Thursday night. It’s baffling that the D-Backs are starting Jameson after putting up a 7-13 record with a 6.91 ERA in the minors this year. We may see 15+ runs tonight! Get our SD/AZ bet recommendation here!
Thursday’s abbreviated eight game slate kicks off at 1PM ET with the Chicago White Sox vs. Cleveland Guardians. It’ll be workhorse Lance Lynn on the mound for the Chisox and Hunter Gaddis on the hill for Cleveland. Gaddis didn’t fare so well in his MLB debut, as he allowed 8 earned runs in only 3.1 innings. The 6’6″ 260 pounder may have been rushed to the Bigs a little quick, as he was in Single-A ball last season. With 325 strikeouts in only 241 innings in the Minors, he’s got a great future, but there’s no substitute for experience! Get our Chi/Cle pick here!
Don’t look now, but the Pittsburgh Pirates are on a heater! The Bucs have cashed in four games in a row and looked impressive yesterday, putting up a 10-spot on the Reds! Can they keep it rolling vs. the New York Mets who have dropped three games and will feature one of the most inconsistent pitchers in baseball? Get our Pit/NYM pick here!
Wednesday MLB action provides us with a full slate of 15 games, including 6 afternoon affairs, with the most interesting being the Los Angeles Angels vs. the Cleveland Guardians. Halos lefty Patrick Sandoval has only allowed 8 runs in his last 43 innings. Guardians righty Cal Quantrill has only allowed 8 runs in his last 40 innings. This game looks to be low scoring! Get our LAA/Cle betting prediction here!
