Why These Picks?
TOR Blue Jays v CHI White Sox: The Blue Jays are on fire, friends – betting agains them now would make zero sense, especially when playing the White Sox. To be fair, Adrian Houser (1.60 ERA) is undoubtedly one of Chicago's better pitchers – every one of his last 5 outings has seen a final score of Under 8; but Jays newcomer Eric Lauer (2.65 ERA) has been formidable. I'll take Toronto cover the RL and bag the series sweep, but the Under to cash as well.
CHI Cubs v MIN Twins: Both of these offenses should find success against today’s right-handed pitchers. Chicago starter Cade Horton (4.15 ERA) carries a lofty 6.08 ERA away from home, while Minnesota’s David Festa (5.48 ERA) has allowed a staggering 19 hits in his last 3 outings. My money is firmly on the Over to cash here for plus money, friends.
ARI Diamondbacks v SD Padres: Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt (5.42 ERA) has been synonymous with high-scoring games, but to be frank, both of today’s pitchers have been shaky on the mound; comically, Pfaadt is the more reliable of the two at 8-6. Starter Dylan Cease (4.62 ERA, 3-8) has allowed 2 Home Runs in each of his last 2 starts, and the Padres offense has been a cricket choir for what feels like eons now. If Cease continues to give up HRs the way he has been, this should be an easy Over for the Diamondbacks. I’m on Arizona to bag the runs today.
