Why These Picks?

MIN Twins v The Athletics: The Athletics can’t seem to buy a win these days having lost 17 of their last 18, friends. To boot, Athletics starter Luis Severino (3.89 ERA, 6.20 ERA at home) is 0-4 at home – it doesn’t make any sense to back him in conjunction with this As offense. The Twins should make light work of the As with Joe Ryan (5-2, 2.57 ERA) on the mound, who’s only allowed 6 earned runs over his last 5 outings.  I’m on Minnesota to cover the RL this evening, and I’ll also take the Under as I don’t think the As are getting much past Ryan.

SD Padres v SF Giants: This is a bold choice, I admit – but 3 of of Stephen Kolek’s last 4 outings have seen totals of at least 13 runs (wtf?) Kolek allowed 6 earned runs in his last start against Miami…That statistic alone makes the Under a very risky play in my opinion. I’ll take the Over to hit here.
