Thursday’s seven game abbreviated slate closes out with a Chicago White Sox vs. Oakland A’s matchup that offers us a pretty sweet pitcher’s duel between Dylan Cease and J.P. Sears. Both pitchers have been throwing well and runs should be at a premium at the Oakland Coliseum. Get our Chi/Oak betting prediction here!
The Miami Marlins have lost nine games in a row and have scored two runs or less in eight of those contests. Talk about a DEAD offense! See how we’re betting the Mia/Phi game here!
We expect the Nationals to come out flat as pancake Thursday morning after a colossal meltdown last night, blowing a four run lead in the 9th inning. Check out today’s game stats and get our Wash/Stl pick here!
The Diamondbacks crappy bullpen blew yet another save last night, which almost assures that they’ll come out flat after the huge emotional letdown. They’ll face Yu Darvish, who has a 1.80 ERA against them in 20 innings this season. There’s no such thing as a lock, but if there was, this would be one!
White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech looks like he’s out of gas. Mariners starter Luis Castillo has been given new life and looks like a born again Hall of Famer since joining the Mariners. With the ChiSox laying an egg yesterday, one has to question if this game is over before it even starts. Get our CWS/Sea prediction here!
It’s baffling that the Twins, who are in a playoff race, would have rookie Louie Varland make his MLB debut in the Bronx against the Yankees. Furthermore, Domingo German has been nails as of late, allowing two earned runs or less in seven of his last eight starts. Get our Min/NYY pick here!
The Appalachian State Mountaineers hung tough with UNC last week, but it’s likely to be a different result against a much stronger Texas A&M Aggies squad.
