MLB Picks

Oakland and Houston go at it again in the finale of a four game set that has seen 51 runs scored in the first three matches. The Astros will look to get a split tonight and who better to have on the mound than Justin Verlander who has a 0.42 ERA in his last three starts! The line is huge with some MLB boards posting the ‘Stros as high as -260.

The Phillies and Braves have split the first two of a four-game series in Philadelphia. Atlanta goes with lefty Dallas Keuchel who has been on his game as of late recording five consecutive quality starts. Philadelphia sends out Zach Eflin who has pitched well in his last three but has been crushed by the Braves this season allowing 17 runs (12 earned) in 5 2/3 innings pitched!

The Twins starter Jose Berrios was fabulous earlier in the season and the Twins capitalized on his performance going 14-8 in his first 22 starts. He hasn’t been the same in recent outings and comes into this game with a 7.71 ERA in his last three starts. Anibal Sanchez got lit up in his latest but pitched well in his previous two and has a positive road record. Get Dan’s forecasted winner.

Two lefties take to the mound on Monday night when the Yankees take on the Red Sox in the finale of their four-game series in Boston at Fenway. The Red Sox will look for a split after dropping the last two. Both pitchers are hot so maybe the best play is on the total? Get Zank’s prediction.

The last time Yanks starter Tanaka faced the Red Sox he was lasted for 12 runs in 3 1/3 frames nd the time before that six runs in 2/3 of an inning! Red Sox starter Porcello hasn’t fared much better allowing 14 runs in 11 innings over three starts this season versus NY. Is Zank getting down on the under with today’s pick?

Neither of tonight’s starters has pitched exceptional well as of late but Stroman did record a quality start against this very same team last time out. Get Dan’s take on the game and his free pick to play or fade.

The Braves are on a roll, winners of seven straight including last night’s series opener. That said the Nat’s have feasted on left-handed pitching tis season and did win both games that Keuchel started against them this season. Is that enough to back the visitor? Get Dan’s thoughts and free pick on the money line.
