First Sips

Good morning, friends – Happy Sunday! I hope you’re all caffeinated. I’ll keep today’s “first sips” brief, as games start on the earlier side. I’m thrilled to report that my 5-day headache is finally on the mend (thank god)! I’ll have plenty of awesome news coming down the pipes over the next 48 hours (app launch, podcast, etc…) 🙌🏼 Until then, here’s today’s play…

-TB Rays ML (+100) | 0.5 Units

Baltimore Shane Baz’s (4.02 ERA) last 5 straight starts for the Orioles have resulted in a loss, friends. In addition, despite having a couple rough outings, Tampa starter Nick Martinez (3.05 ERA) is a solid 5-1 on the road. I know the Rays offense has been sitting on simmer for the last week, but they should be able to avoid getting swept by Baltimore with their Ace on the mound. I’m on Tampa to bag the win.

Today's Picks

-ARI Diamondbacks -1.5 (+120) | 0.5 Units

-LA Angels v TEX Rangers Under 8.0 (-105) | 0.25 Units

-CHI Cubs v SEA Mariners Over 7.5 (-105) | 0.25 Units

-CHI Cubs ML (+105) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

CIN Reds v ARI Diamondbacks: I’m going after the plus-money here, friends. While Rhett Lowder’s (5.17 ERA) starts have resulted in Cincinnati wins over the last bit, the man just allows too many runs for me to think the Reds can keep this close. In addition, Lowder is worse on the road than he is at home. On the other side, Diamondbacks starter Michael Soroka (2.93 ERA) has allowed a mere 2 runs over his last 3 outings, and is  sporting a 1.88 ERA at home. I’m on Arizona to cover the RL this evening.

‍

LA Angels v TEX Rangers: I admit, Ryan Johnson having a good couple outing makes this game a tough read. To boot, one of those aforementioned good outings was against the Texas Rangers back on August 11th. Not only did the Angels bag the win, but the total stayed low despite his now 6.41 ERA. Given that Texas’ last 6 straight games have cashed the Under, and not one of Cody Bradford’s (2.93 ERA) starts has seen final totals of more than 7, I’ve gotta roll with a low-scoring affair here. Take the Under to hit.

‍

CHI Cubs v SEA Mariners: This line doesn’t make a ton of sense to me, if I’m being real honest. It’s a warm day in Seattle, David Peterson’s (5.29 ERA) last 5 straight starts for Chicago have resulted in a Cubs win, and the Mariners are giving Kade Anderson his Major League debut this evening. Everything about this game points to a high-scoring affair in my opinion. To boot, the Mariners have cashed the Over in 6 of their last 7 games. I’m on the Over to cash, and I’ll sprinkle the underdog to bag a victory.

First Sips

Happy Saturday, friends! Yesterday certainly wasn’t our finest betting day, but holy were we ever due for “a bad one”. This last couple weeks has been fire for the bankroll, so l won’t dwell too hard Friday’s insanity and the Detroit Tigers shitting the bed so to speak (lol). A quick note, I have to apologize for not dropping a podcast episode this past Wednesday – the headache/concussion situation just wasn’t allowing it. That said, I’ll have one up for Monday morning and we can all start the week off together 😌👊🏽 Until then, here’s today’s play…

Today's Picks

-DET Tigers ML (-115) | 0.5 Units

-WAS Nationals v MIA Marlins Over 7.5 (-115) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

DET Tigers v KC Royals: I know the Tigers were on a heater there for a while and then cooled right off over their last 6 games, but I’m not in the business of betting against Detroit starter Troy Melton (1.71 ERA). The Tigers actually lost the game that Melton last started and he still only allowed a single run in the 4 innings that he did pitch; 4 of his last 5 starts have resulted in a win for Detroit. As for Kansas City, I don’t hate Noah Cameron (4.16 ERA) at home, but Melton is by far the better arm and the Tigers have a much stronger offense. My money’s on the visitors to bag a win here.

‍

WAS Nationals v MIA Marlins: I’m surprised this line is set so low. With the Nationals being one of the better offenses in MLB and Miami starter Ryan Gusto (4.70 ERA) being 0-3, I don’t think this game will have a tough time getting to 8 runs. In addition, Washington is rolling with their bullpen today. I know that the Marlins had a tough time with Philly, but I think their offense will be able to turn up here. I’m on the Over to hit.
