Why These Picks?
CHI White Sox v MIN Twins: I know the White Sox aren't anything to write home about on the road, but with Bailey Ober (5.14 ERA) out there on the mound for Minnesota, I can't resist an Over for plus money. In addition, it looks like the White Sox will be playing a bullpen game, so the Twins should get their fair share of runs on the board. I'll wager on a high-scoring affair today.
ATL Braves v CHI Cubs: There’s far too much potential for both of these offenses to light up each other’s pitchers. To boot, I think this is a real nice price for the Cubs to bag a win at home. Braves starter Spencer Strider (4.95 ERA) is a mere 5-12, and has allowed 16 runs over his last 3 starts. On the other side, Chicago starter Colin Rea (4.23 ERA) sits at 10-6 and has allowed 9 runs over his last 3 outings. My money’s on the Cubs to bag a home win and on the Over to cash.
BAL Orioles v SD Padres: I’m having a tough time coming to terms with this line, friends. O/U 7.5? The Orioles will start Kyle Bradish (3.00 ERA) today, who’s only taken the mound once this season and the result was a shutout (Boston won 5-0). Meanwhile, 4 of Padres starter Dylan Cease’s (4.82 ERA) last 5 outings have seen at least 8 runs. The San Diego offense has struggled on the road, but their home record is exceptional. Lastly, 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two squads have seen at least 10 runs (?!) I’ve gotta take the Over to hit here, friends.
