Why These Picks?
NY Yankees v TOR Blue Jays: Every game in this series so far has seen at least 9 runs, friends. To boot, the Blue Jays are just hitting the ball far too well at the moment for me to think this game stays Under 8.5, and the Yankees offense will surely be eager to a void a 4-game sweep. NY starter Clarke Schmidt (3.09 ERA) has been good recently, but his last outing wasn’t great (only 4 hits, but 4 runs, 2 homers…) – the Yankees were shutout by the As 7-0. On the other side, Toronto starter Chris Bassitt’s (4.29 ERA) last outing was also a total shit show – he allowed 8 hits, 8 runs, and a homer, allowing Boston to smoke Toronto 15-1. Both of today’s pitchers are very capable, but I say the offenses push this total Over 8.5 anyway.
CLE Guardians v CHI Cubs: I expect the Guardians to sneak a few runs past Cade Horton (4.80 ERA) today, and I have little doubt the Cubs offense will put at least 5 in the bag here. Horton has allowed 10 runs in just his last 2 starts, and Cleveland will likely cycle through the bullpen after a couple of innings (Joey Cantillo hasn’t pitched more than 3 innings all season). I’m on the Over to cash.
LA Angels v ATL Braves: A bold set of choices, I know – but I can’t get behind Braves starter Bryce Elder (5.82 ERA), who has allowed a staggering 18 earned runs in just his last 3 starts. LA starter Jose Soriano (3.99 ERA) has been far more reliable, and while I like the Angels to snag a win here, both squads should put a decent number of runs on the board. I’m on LA to win & the Over to cash.
