Today's Picks

-Athletics v SF Giants Over 8.0 (-115) | 0.25 Units

-PHI Phillies -1.5 (+100) | 0.25 Units

-PHI Phillies v WAS Nationals Under 8.5 (-105) | 0.25 Units

-NY Yankees -1.5 (+115) | 0.5 Units

‍

Why These Picks

‍

Athletics v SF Giants: I can’t resist this total with Jeffrey Springs on the mound for the As; Springs has been abysmal having allowed 17 runs over his last 3 outings. On the other side, Giants starter Landon Roupp’s last 5 straight starts have resulted in a loss for San Francisco.Take the Over.

‍

PHI Phillies v WAS Nationals: I won’t overthink this one, because the reality is I just don’t think the Nationals will get enough past Cristopher Sanchez to push this total Over 8.5. In addition, Cade Cavalli’s last two outings have been pretty decent, and I think he can do enough to keep Philly from bagging 9 runs all by themselves. I’ll take the Under to hit, and Philly to cover the RL.

‍

NY Yankees v BOS Red Sox: I just don’t trust the Red Sox offense, friends – and at just 2-4 at home, I can’t say I trust Connelly Early (3.64 ERA) either. Boston just lost a series to the Colorado Rockies; I’m in no rush to back them. As for NY, starter Cam Schlittler (1.71 ERA) is 6-1 on the road and 4 of his last starts have been victories by at least 2 runs. Take the Yankees to cover the RL for plus money tonight.

Above gif: Literally me when the SF Giants bagged 2 HRs in the bottom of the 9th.

Every once in a while, we get a night like last night, friends – my jaw is still on the floor to be honest. I’ll get right to it: Picks cashed 1/3 and Player Props cashed 1/3; a gross day, for sure. That said, both of our biggest plays were narrow misses; I’m still stunned by the As giving up 2 Home Runs in the bottom of the 9th. 

For those curious, here’s what we had:

Picks (1/3)

-MIN Twins +1.5 (-115) ✅

-PHI Phillies v WAS Nationals Over 9.5 (-115) ❌

-Athletics ML (-120) ❌

Player Props (1/3)

-Gage Jump 6+ Strikeouts (+150) ✅

-Trey Yesavage 6+ Strikeouts (-110) ❌

-Nick Kurtz Over 1.5 Total Bases (+115) ❌

‍

*Note: Kyle Schwarber was also on our list but the prop got voided when he got ruled out pre-game.

VIP Parlay (+457) (Miss)

-CHI Cubs ML (+100) ✅

-PHI Phillies ML (-135) ✅

-TOR Blue Jays ML (-140) ❌

I will say, I’m thrilled that the Twins covered the RL, and that Gage Jump hitting 6Ks paid out at a real nice +150! 

Overall, a red day unfortunately. But let’s walk it off, friends! Today’s a new day 😌

For those of you that are new here, I try my best to recap great days as well as miserable ones (lol) – as much as I love screaming from the rooftops when we win big, it’s also nice to commiserate with community 😮‍💨😂

That’s all I’ve got re: last night! I’ll have today’s picks out shortly.

Today's Picks

-PHI Phillies v WAS Nationals Over 9.5 (-115) | 0.5 Units

-Athletics ML (-120) | 0.5 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

PHI Phillies v WAS Nationals: Whenever I see Aaron Nola’s (5.71 ERA) name on the schedule, my brain tends to lean towards a high-scoring affair; but seeing Nola AND Miles Mikolas (5.47 ERA) listed? In theory, this game should go to the moon. Mikolas’ last outing saw him allow 5 runs, and while he had a couple of good starts prior to his last game, I’d call those outliers. On the other side, Nola’s last 3 straight games have seen the Over cash. My money’s on a high-scoring affair today, friends.

‍

Athletics v SF Giants: I love the As in this spot – mainly because Gage Jump (2.37 ERA) has been shockingly reliable. Jump is 2-0 away from home, and 4 of his last 5 starts have resulted in a win for the Athletics. Meanwhile, 4 of Tyler Mahle’s (6.04 ERA) last 5 starts have equated to a loss for the Giants, and the man has allowed a staggering 18 runs over his last 4 outings. Take the As to bag a road win.

‍

LA Dodgers v MIN Twins: Joe Ryan has been too efficient for Minnesota for me to think they can’t keep this game within 1. 4 of Ryan’s last 5 starts have resulted in an outright win, and the 1 loss in his last 5 outings had a final score of 3-2. To be honest, I think there’s a good chance the Twins avoid getting swept today; I’ll happily toss a sprinkle on them to cover the RL.

Today's Picks

-CLE Guardians ML (-115) | 0.5 Units

-CHI Cubs v NY Mets Over 8.0 (-125) | 0.25 Units

-CHI Cubs ML (-105) | 0.25 Units

‍

Why These Picks?

‍

CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox: This is a real nice price for Cleveland with Parker Messick (2.70 ERA) on the mound. While White Sox starter Sean Burke (3.89 ERA) is a reliable arm, the man is 0-3 at home. To boot, I really liked Messick’s last start and victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Take the Guardians to bag a win on the road.

‍

CHI Cubs v NY Mets: Mets starter Kodai Senga (9.00 ERA) was brutal before getting put on the IL, and he’s been not-so-great since coming back. To be frank, I won’t be surprised if he gets pulled early. I don’t love a -125 return (you know I don’t…) but the Cubs offense seems to have found their stride again having put a staggering 32 runs in the bag over their last 3 outings (wtf?!) and Chicago starter Edward Cabrera has allowed 15 runs across his last 3 games. My money’s on a high-scoring affair this evening and on the Cubs to win, friends.
