Why These Picks?
The Athletics v BAL Orioles: While The Athletics are rolling with a bullpen game this evening, I do think it’s their offense that will bag the most runs. 4 of Baltimore pitcher Brandon Young’s (5.88 ERA) last 5 starts have resulted in their opponents putting at least 5 runs on the board. To boot, Young has allowed a staggering 29 hits over his last 5 games, and I fully expect the visiting squad to take advantage. My money’s on the As to bag at least 5 runs today.
CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox: 4 of Joey Cantillo's (4.37 ERA) last 5 starts have seen at least 9 runs, and I have a sneaking suspicion the White Sox will get a hot start on him here. While a Chicago win against the Guardians would be a bit of an anomoly (Cleveland has won their last 4 straight encounters...) the White Sox are much better at bagging runs at home than they are on the road. I say they contribute enough to push today's total Over 8.5.
BOS Red Sox v SD Padres: The Red Sox are on fire right now, friends – and as much as I like each of today's pitchers, I think both squads will find a way to put at least 4 runs on the board. In addition, I have no desire to bet against Boston at the moment – especially since Padres starter Michael King hasn't pitched in 2 months. For these reasons, I've gotta take the Over to hit here and the Red Sox to win for plus money.
MIA Marlins v ATL Braves (GAME 2): 4 of Cardinals starter Erick Fedde's last 5 starts have seen the Over cash in spades. On the other side, Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara (6.44 ERA) has a staggering 8.86 ERA on the road. The tail end of this double header should be a high scoring affair, betting fam – I'm on the Over to hit.
