Why These Picks?
‍
PHI Phillies v CHI Cubs: Despite the Phillies offense being a bit of a travesty right now, I don’t love either of today’s starting pitchers. To be honest, I think this game could turn into a bit of a shoot out, and Chicago’s offense is far too efficient right now for me to entertain the Under. I’m on the Over to cash here.
‍
BAL Orioles v KC Royals: Michael Wacha (1.00 ERA) has been a beacon of consistency so far this season; I’m not in a rush to bet against him, especially with Chris Bassitt (6.19 ERA) starting for Baltimore today. Kansas City should win this matchup comfortably at home – take the Royals to cover the RL.
‍
PHX Suns v OKC Thunder: As long as the Thunder are playing at home, assuming they’ll blow out their opponents 9 times out of 10 is typically a safe bet (lol). The Suns lost their first game against OKC by 35 points, and the total fell well below the projected line. The one thing I don’t doubt here is that the home squad’s defense is elite and will show up in spades (it’s also looking like Phoenix could be out a few players this evening…) I’m betting on the OKC defense here, friends – take the Suns Team Total to stay Under 99.5. I'll also toss a sprinkle on the game total to stay south of 215.5.
