Even though Toronto is the heavy favorite against Cleveland, the Guardians have won 7 of their last 10 games and have Cal Quantrill on the mound. Can Cleveland pull off the road upset? Get our CLE vs TOR prediction here.

Which Drew Smyly will we see Thursday? The one that has allowed 1 earned run or less in 3 of his last 4 games or the one that has gotten bombed in 2 of his last 5 games? He’ll be opposed by Nick Lodolo, who has good upside but has been inconsistent at best. Get our Chi/Cin bet recommendation here!

Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker has given up a whopping 20 hits over his last 8.1 innings. D-Backs starter Merrill Kelly has given up 2 runs or less in each of his last 7 games. Get our Pit/AZ pick here!

Thursday features a short 8-game MLB card with six of those contests being day games. The Marlins and Phillies kick it off at 1PM ET in which flame-thrower Edward Cabrera takes the mound against Kyle Gibson. Cabrera has been an absolute beast in his limited appearances. If you throw out a bad outing vs. the Astros, he had 3 other games in which he gave up a total of THREE hits over 17 innings! Get our Mia/Phi pick here!

White Sox starter Dylan Cease continues to pitch at a ridiculous rate, allowing 1 earned run or less in thirteen straight games. Get our CWS/KC prediction here!

Young Rangers lefty Cole Ragans gets thrown into the fire against the Astros Thursday. Ragans is a big-time pitching prospect but has control issues, which is a bad spot to be in vs. a patient Houston Astros lineup. He’ll be opposed by Framber Valdez, who has allowed 3 earned runs or less in each of his last 19 starts. Get our Tex/Hou bet recommendation here!

Coors Field showed it’s upside yesterday as these teams met and scored a combined 21 runs. It’ll be newly the acquired Jose Quintana taking on Kyle Freeland Wednesday night. Bookmakers have installed the as Cards heavy -160 favorites. Get our Stl/Col betting prediction here!

Just when we thought Jose Berrios was turning the corner, he got bombed in his last outing. Toronto is cold and the Orioles are playing inspired baseball at 7-1 in their last 8 games. Get our Tor/Bal bet recommendation here!

A pair of nasty southpaws meet up Wednesday afternoon in the Pacific Northwest as Nasty Nestor Cortes takes on the hard throwing Robbie Ray. These teams had a heck of a game last night, going 13 innings, and more of the same is expected at T-Mobile Park today! Get our NY/Sea pick here!
