Would you believe that Drew Smyly had a 0.90 ERA in August, allowing only three earned runs over thirty innings? He’ll face grizzled vet Adam Wainright who had a 2.50 over the month of August. Runs could be at a premium Saturday at Busch Stadium!

Yankees vs. Rays Analysis & Moneyline Bet
With Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt getting beat up by a weak Oakland A’s team in his last start, and the Rays throwing Corey Kluber, who has pitched excellent vs. the men in pinstripes (1.50 ERA in 18 innings), Tampa Bay looks like a nice value bet at -130.

Bet the Runline: Blue Jays vs. Pirates 9/2/22
A full slate of MLB action returns Friday, starting with the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Pittsburgh Pirates at 6:35PM ET. It’ll be Alek Manoah who appears to be back on track with a couple excellent starts in a row against Johan Oviedo, a key piece of the Jose Quintana trade, who has a big arm, but is lacks command of the strike zone. Get our Tor/Pit prediction here!
Padres vs. Dodgers Moneyline Bet
Friday ends with a killer pitching matchup between Padres starter Yu Darvish and Dodgers righty Dustin May. Get our SD/LAD bet recommendation before placing your wager!
Cubs vs. Cardinals Odds & Predictions 9/2/22
Cardinals pitcher Jordan Montgomery had only allowed one run or less in four games in a row before getting beat up by the Braves in his last start. Will the lefty bounce back Friday against the Cubbies? Get our Chi/Stl pick here!
Rangers vs. Red Sox Runline Bet 9/2/22
After blowing a FAT 8-3 lead last night, the Rangers will likely be flat on Friday as negative emotions are typical in this scenario. Read our Tex/Bos preview and see how we’re betting the game here!
A’s vs. Orioles Total Play 9/2/22
We wouldn’t normally feature an Oakland A’s vs. Baltimore Orioles game, however, this game presents one of the better wagering opportunites on Friday’s card as both JP Sears and Dean Kremer are pitching excellent.
Dodgers vs. Mets Analysis & ML Pick 9/1/22
At time of print, Clayton Kershaw is scheduled to return from injury to face Chris Bassitt and the New York Mets. He’ll surely be on a pitch count so take that into consideration before backing the Dodgers if that’s your pick!
A’s vs. Nats Analysis & Recommended Bet
The much anticipated arrival of A’s lefty Ken Waldichuk has finally arrived! This guy fanned 349 minor league hitters in only 234.1 innings! He’s only allowed a .199 average to opposing hitters as well. While it’s not wise to bet on rookies, because he’ll surely have butterflies, it’s tempting at the cheap price of -110 against Paolo Espino, who has a 5.90 ERA over the past couple months. Get our Oak/Wash bet recommendation here!
Royals vs. White Sox Runline Bet 9/1/22
Royals pitcher Daniel Mengden makes his first appearance in a Major League uniform since June 25th. He’ll face pitch-to-contact veteran Johnny Cueto in a day game at Guaranteed Rate Field where the ChiSox are listed as heavy -220 favorites. Get our KC/CWS pick here!
