Two of the better teams from the National League take to the field of Citizens Bank Park in the opener of Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies series. Based on the starting pitchers current form the Phillies and Aaron Nola, but the Philadelphia right-hander doesn’t have the best of historical numbers against the Brewers current line-up. Read on to get our prognosticator’s take on the match-up and free pick.
Trading for Tyler Glasnow from Pittsburgh has looked like a stroke of brilliance for the Rays, as TG has blossomed into an outstanding pitcher for Tampa Bay this season. To date, Glasnow has pitched like the All-Star they gave away, going at least five innings in every start and earning the decision in all six of the games. But doesn’t he bring value at -135 versus the Yanks? Dan has your MLB pick!
Yusei Kikuchi pitched well enough to win in his most recent start. He went seven strong innings on the hill, scattering just three hits for the evening. He’d only allowed one run to score, and he fanned 10 Cleveland hitters. The bad news is that the Mariners still lost the game because their punchless offense couldn’t get more than a single run against Cleveland. The Mariners come in to tonight’s game as +120 underdogs. DJ looks for betting value and gives his baseball pick!
Max Fried has done a nice job of keeping runs off the scoreboard, even though he’s not exactly keeping runners off the base of late. Should bettors expect the hit to catch up with him and for the Braves to give up runs tonight? DJ has your baseball prediction.
The Pittsburgh Pirates look to rebound after a 14-1 pasting by the A’s last night. That may be a tough task with sizzling Chris Bassitt on the mound for Oakland. The moneyline on this game is at pick’em on many boards with the total offered at 8 runs. Read on to get MLB handicapper Dan Jamison’s free pick.
Maybe seeing the familiar red and white of the Phils will get Hellickson back on track, as he is not pitching well as of late. His past two starts have resulted in 11 runs and 15 hits, and while one of those can be explained by the thin air at Colorado’s Coors Field, there’s no excuse for coughing up five earned runs to the light-hitting Padres. Washington is +153 tonight largely because of Hellickson. Is there betting value in this matchup? Dan Jamison gives his baseball pick.
Are the Red Sox finally out of their month-long slumber and ready to look like the team that won the World Series last year? That remains to be seen, but they finished April and started May by earning their first sweep of the season at Fenway Park and only their second overall. However, the last time they swept an opponent, they promptly gave the momentum right back by dropping a pair to Detroit. Dan Jamison breaks down the Boston bats and what it will take to beat the White Sox tonight as big favorites.
The Athletics take on the Red Sox in the first of a three game set in Boston. It’s been feast or famine for the A’s as of sweeping the Rangers sandwiched by home and away sweeps by the Jays. Boston continues to find solid footing sitting six games under .500 at 11-17, Predictem prognosticator Dan Jamison gives us a breakdown on this match-up and his free pick to bet.
The Brewers shook off three straight losses in St. Louis and took out their frustrations on the Mets, who watched ace pitcher Jacob DeGrom get shelled for the third consecutive start as Milwaukee coasted to a 10-2 rout of the Mets in Queens. Can the Mets bounce back as -136 favorites at home tonight?
The Astros got outside their division for the first time in a week and a half with Minnesota coming in, and they eventually got their bats going with 17 runs in the final two games of the series to boost their record to a healthy 15-9. Cleveland, on the other hand, didn’t find things pleasant on its homestand against the NL East. Can the Indians get the bats going tonight as +140 underdogs? DJ has your MLB pick.
