Despite Gerrit Cole pitching for the Yankees, I’m not sure any bet is a safe bet against the Cleveland Guardians right now, after they had multiple come-from-behind wins against the Twins. This type of play can light a fire under a team! Get our handicapper’s NYY/Cle pick here!
It’s a tough proposition to fade Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas as he hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last four starts. The “Harperless” Phillies send Bailey Faulter to the hill where he’s struggled to get footing as a Major Leaguer. Get our Stl/Phi bet recommendation here!
he other day game on Friday’s card takes place in Canada where the Tampa Bay Rans and Corey Kluber take on the Toronto Blue Jays and Jose Berrios. Kluber has been pitching well as of late and Berrios has gotten bombed, however, he does pitch much better at the Rogers Centre where he has a 3.18 ERA this season. Get our TB/Tor pick here!
Friday MLB action kicks off with a day game between the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs. The BoSox have been pretty steady as of late and can be counted on for five to six runs. The Cubbies are hitting the ball as well and are off a massive 15-run outburst yesterday. Be sure to check the wind report! It’s Wrigley! Get our Bos/Chi pick here!
Thursday’s MLB card closes out with a battle in SoCal between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers. Joe Musgrove takes the ball for the Pads. He’ll be opposed by MItch White. Musgrove has been a cool customer on the road this season with a 1.67 ERA. The Padres have lost three of their last four ballgames and the Dodgers have lost three of their last five. This game could be tricky to handicap! Get our SD/LAD pick here!
Thursday provides baseball bettors with yet another peak at what may be a preview of the ALCS in October as the Yankees take on the Astros at the “Juice Box.” Luis Severino starts for New York and Luis Garcia will be on the mound for the “Stros. Get our NYY/Hou pick here!
The lack of Bryce Harper’s bat in the lineup is starting to rear it’s head for the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves have taken both games of the series and are out for the sweep Thursday at Citizens Bank Park! Get our Atl/Phi betting prediction here!
It’s tough to fathom the Minnesota Twins being up for Thursday’s game vs. the Guardians after blowing a three-run lead in extra innings, only to allow four in the bottom of the inning on an opposite field home runs by Josh Naylor. Historically speaking, teams come out flat after a crushing emotional extra innings loss. Get our Min/Cle pick here!
Wednesday ends with a heck of a pitching matchup between hard throwing Michael Kopech of the Chicago White Sox and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels. Kopech has a 2.59 ERA this season and Ohtani has only allowed one earned run over his last 21 innings! Something has to give! Get our CWS/LAA prediction here!
The Los Angeles Dodgers have dropped two games in a row and may tank tonight as Julio Urias doesn’t have a very good history at Coors Field. He’ll be opposed by Rockies starter German Marquez, who has a poor 6.70 ERA at home this season. Balls could be flyin’ all over the place in Colorado tonight!
