Why These Picks?
TOR Blue Jays v CHI White Sox: You know I don’t love a -130 return, but this should hit. White Sox starter Sean Burke (4.03 ERA) has given up at least 5 runs over his last 5 starts in each of his losses, and I fully expect a Toronto win here. That said, I’m avoiding the RL bet simply because Chicago, terrible as they are, can be sneaky at home. I’ll take the Jays to bag at least 5 runs.
TEX Rangers v LA Angels: Starter Jacob deGrom (2.13 ERA) is just too good, friends. The Rangers have won all 5 of deGrom’s last starts, and 4 of those 5 starts were wins by at least 4 runs. Don’t get me wrong – Yusei Kikuchi (2.81 ERA) is no slouch, but Texas has won 9 of their last 10 games against the Angels, and 8 of those victories were by at least 2 runs. I’ll sprinkle the Under to hit, but I’ve also gotta go with the data and the plus money here and take the Rangers to cover the RL.
ARI Diamondbacks v SD Padres: Padres starter Yu Darvish is making his season debut this evening after returning from the IL, and as most are when they return from a long absence, I expect him to be a little rusty. In addition, Arizona is putting Zac Gallen (5.45 ERA) on the mound, and 4 of his last 5 starts have seen final scores of at least 10 runs. Take the Over to cash here.
