Why These Picks?
TOR Blue Jays v DET Tigers: The Blue Jays have been playing far too well for me to fade them. Toronto has won 5 of their 6 games since returning from the All-Star break – while the Tigers have lost 5 of their last 6. To boot, newbie starter Eric Lauer (2.80 ERA) has been an absolute Ace for the Blue Jays. As for Detroit, they'll start Reese Olson (2.71 ERA), whose last 5 starts have seen the Tigers take 4 losses. I'm on Toronto to pull off the upset on the road.
The Athletics v HOU Astros: Luis Severino’s last 5 straight starts have all seen totals of at least 9 runs, friends. In addition, 4 of his last 5 outings have seen the Athletics’ opponents score at least 7. On the other side, it’s looking like the Astros will play a bullpen game this evening (at least, it appears this way at the time of writing) – unless they decide to let Jason Alexander (8.40 ERA) pitch a full 5-6 innings against his old team. With 3 of the last 4 encounters between these two squads seeing 10+ runs, and Houston at home, my money’s on the Astros to bag at least 5, as well as on the overall total to go Over 9.
