Why These Picks?
TB Rays v BOS Red Sox: It’s hard to like the Red Sox with Lucas Giolito (6.42 ERA) on the mound, friends. In his last outing, Giolito allowed the Angels (the Angels?!) to get 7 runs past him. I'll be frank – it's not difficult to imagine a universe where Tampa Bay runs up a fast score here. And while starter Ryan Pepiot (3.20 ERA) isn’t necessarily my favourite Rays starter, he hasn’t allowed more than 2 ERs across his last 3 outings. I’m on the visitors to lock down a win again here.
MIA Marlins v PIT Pirates: I don’t trust either of today’s pitchers to keep their opponent in check here, and to be frank, I won’t be surprised if this ends up being one of the evening’s highest scoring affairs. Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara has allowed 21 ERs over his last 5 outings, while Pittsburgh’s Mitch Keller has allowed 9 runs in his last 2 starts. This game should see runs for days – I’m on the Over to hit.
SEA Mariners v ARI Diamondbacks: Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt (5.51 ERA) has had a rough week; this should be a high-scoring affair simply because he’s on the mound, friends. Pfaadt has allowed a staggering 16 runs over his last 3 outings. On the other side, with Bryce Miller on the injury list, pitcher Logan Evans will step up from Triple-A for Seattle this evening. Of course, this could prove to be a set of trials and tribulations all on its own that could generously add to tonight’s final score. My money’s on the Over to cash.
