Why These Picks?
STL Cardinals v TEX Rangers: I can’t back the Rangers with any kind of confidence right now. Having lost 8 of their last 10 games, I don’t think Texas is picking up a win against the St. Louis offense. And, to be frank, I'd be very surprised if the Cardinals didn't cover the RL here. I'll roll the dice on plus money and the team that's won 5 of their last 6 today, friends – give me St. Louis to win by 2.
DET Tigers v KC Royals: Both of today’s starting pitchers are solid, friends. Casey Mize has allowed a single run in 4 of his last 5 starts, while Seth Lugo has allowed 2 runs or less in 3 of his last 4 outings. That said, Mize & Lugo actually “faced off” back on April 19, and the game total came to 4 runs (resulting in a Tigers win…) Kansas City has only put 11 runs on the board over their last 4 outings, and Detroit has cashed the Under in 7 of their last 8 games. I’m on the Under to hit today and the Tigers to bag a road win.
COL Rockies v NY Mets: The last 8 straight encounters between these two squads have seen 8 runs or more. While I highly suspect David Peterson will have no issue keeping the Rockies in check, this matchup has the potential to be an absolute blowout with Kyle Freeland on the mound for Colorado. I’ll take the Over to cash.
