When you lose a player who’s two years removed from the American League MVP, it’s supposed to be devastating. When you follow that up by losing your current best player at the same time, it’s supposed to be disastrous. Yet the Astros keep getting the job done. Are bettors expecting them to lose and thereby creating betting value? DJ has your MLB pick!
The Blue Jays have been the lightest-hitting team in the American League this year, and as the Blue Jay beat writers have helpfully pointed out, Toronto’s lineup has hit just 21 points better than the New York Mets’ pitching staff. Any time your 1 through 8 is even close to the pitchers on another club, you’re doing something wrong. Are the Jays big enough dogs at +139?
Wrigley Field was pumped for the return of Jake Arrieta, who made his first start in Chicago since the 2016 World Series on Monday and did enough to help the Phillies stay in the contest long enough to win the game off the Cubs’ bullpen. This game likely won’t be anywhere near as hyped but can the Cub keep the momentum going and give bettors value at -132? Dan Jamison doesn’t think so and tells why with his MLB pick for tonight.
The first place in the American League East meet last place when the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles open a four-game series Monday night in Baltimore. Online sportsbooks have the Yankees as big -185 favorites. Can bettors still find value in the favorite? Darin breaks down the game and gives his selection.
These two squads have split the first two setting this up the rubber match tonight at Nationals Park. Kyle Hendricks get the ball for the Cubbies while the Nats counter with Jeremy Hellickson. Chicago is taking the lion’s share of the public money and holds the favorite role at -130. Read on to get Zank’s breakdown and his free MLB pick.
The Braves will look to extend their unbeaten streak to four games when Kevin Gausman makes his return to the mound. Chase Anderson gets the ball for the Brewers and while his starts this season were decent the Atlanta lineup has hit hm well in the past. Dan makes his call on who to play in this game.
The Red Sox and the Astros will go at it again at Fenway in the second game of a three-game set. The Astros took the opener and if rookie righty Corbin Martin can repeat a performance like last his Major League debut, they could do it again. Also, the visitor has been trending in this series winning the last four and eight of the previous ten. Read on to get our handicapper’s free pick.
The key to the Astros’ success? The hot bats of Alex Bregman and George Springer. Bregman has nine home runs in May, and there’s still two weeks to go in the month. Springer’s right up there with seven, and the center fielder is hitting .418 this month to match those blasts. Is there value with the Stros? Or have sportsbooks have sharpened lines for the hot bats? DJ gives his MLB pick!
Defending National League division champions meet when the Brewers and Braves open a three-game weekend series in Atlanta Friday night. Darin gives his MLB selection after breaking down this matchup.
