Why These Picks?
SEA Mariners v CHI White Sox: Seattle has absolutely dominated this series, and today should be no exception. The Mariners have scored at least 5 runs in 6 of their last 7 meetings with the White Sox – and with the home advantage and their offense cooking the way that it is, I won’t be surprised if they cash today’s Over for both teams all by themselves. That said, Chicago will desperately be trying to avoid getting swept, and Seattle barely held onto the RL cover last night (steering clear of that today…). For all of these reasons, my money is on the Mariners to put at least 5 in the bag.
CIN Reds v PIT Pirates: I simply can’t wrap my head around a high-scoring game with Paul Skenes on the mound at home. With the exception of Skenes’ start at notorious Coors Field, he’s only allowed 2 runs over 4 of his last 5 starts. And while I’m not the biggest Brady Singer fan, only one of his last 5 starts have seen a total of more than 7 runs. I’m on the Under to hit for this one.
MIA Marlins v ATL Braves: Starter Eury Perez (2.70 ERA) is a much more reliable arm than Carlos Carrasco (5.68 ERA), friends. Having won 6 of their last 8 games, I’ve gotta run with the Marlins here. The Braves offense has been the definition of unreliable, and against Perez? I don’t see them putting more on the board than Miami. Take the Marlins to win on the road.
