Why These Picks?
STL Cardinals v MIL Brewers: I can’t think of a better bounce back spot for the Brewers. With the home and pitching advantage, Milwaukee should pull off a win. That said, I think the most value lies with the Brewers to put at least 5 runs on the board. Cardinals starter Andre Pallante (5.28 ERA) is one of my favourite fades (sorry bud!) and 4 of his last 5 starts have resulted in a loss for St. Louis. With Pallante having allowed 27 hits over his last 4 starts, my money’s on Milwaukee’s offense to redeem themselves and score at least 5, as well as on the home team to cover the RL.
PIT Pirates v WAS Nationals: This should be a high-scoring affair. Both Mitch Keller (4.16 ERA) and Brad Lord (4.20 ERA) are having a hell of a time keeping runs off the board, this should be a good opportunity for both offenses to turn up. Lord has allowed a whopping 14 runs across his last 3 outings, and while Keller has been faring a bit better, 4 of his last 5 outings have resulted in a loss for the Pirates. My money’s on the Over to cash.
LA Angels v SEA Mariners: Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi has allowed at least 5 runs in his last 3 straight outings. In addition, Kikuchi has allowed 18 hits over those same 3 trips to the mound. To be frank, I have no doubt that the home squad’s batting lineup takes advantage of this. I’ll happily sprinkle Seattle to put at least 5 on the board for plus money today.
