Why These Picks?
CIN Reds v MIL Brewers: This is bold considering that the Brewers have more than solidified their spot in the post-season, but I’m rolling with it anyway, because the fact that they’re willing to put Priester in for this game tells me it means something. Quinn Priester’s (3.25 ERA) last 5 straight starts have seen Milwaukee come away with a victory by at least 2 runs, and Cincinnati has lost 4 of their last 5 encounters with the Brew crew. While the Reds have seen a nice string of wins as of late, they’ve taken a loss in 4 of their last 6 road games; all of those losses were by at least 2. I know that Cincinnati is still vying for a Wild Card spot, but if you think the Brewers bag a win here (and I do), take the RL for a nice return. I'll also toss a sprinkle on the Over to cash, as 3 of the last 4 meetings between these two have flown over 8, and comically, Priester & Littell's last showdown saw a whopping 11 runs.
CHI White Sox v WAS Nationals: The last 4 straight encounters between these squads have cashed the Over in spades, friends. And, if you’ve been tailing me for any amount of time, you know how I feel about the Washington bullpen. On the other side, with Chicago starter Yoendrys Gomez (4.92 ERA) carrying around an Away ERA of 5.64, I fully expect the home squad to bag some runs. My money’s on the Over to hit this evening.
Florida State v Virginia: While the Cavaliers have won 3 of their last 4 games, their defense (or lack thereof?) is a very good reason to think Florida State covers the spread here, friends. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but not only do I think FSU covers, I think they win this encounter by at least 2 TDs. Can you tell that Alabama upset game is still fresh in my mind? Take the Seminoles to cover the spread on the road.
