Why These Picks?
TOR Blue Jays v PHI Phillies: This is an easy pick for me, friends. Both Jose Soriano (3.29 ERA) and Zack Wheeler (2.49 ERA) are solid pitchers, and to say that the Blue Jays offense is struggling would be an understatement. In addition, Soriano is better on the road than he is at home – I think he’ll be able to keep the Philly offense in check. Take the Under to hit.
DET Tigers v SF Giants: The Tigers have been putting way too many runs on the board for me to think this total stays low. Hell, Detroit has been cashing “Over” projections all by themselves. At the time of writing, San Francisco has yet to decide who their starter for today will be, but to be frank, it doesn’t matter. The Giants’ offense has been on the struggle bus for quite some time now, and the Tigers’ last 6 straight wins have been by at least two. With their offense taking down some of the best, I’m on the Over to hit, and I’ll toss a nice chunk of change on Detroit to cover the RL for a solid plus-money return.
CHI Cubs v KC Royals: Between the Cubs starting Kevin Gausman and the Royals playing a bullpen game, this encounter has the potential to go to the moon total-wise. Gausman has been brutal this season; so despite being the underdog in today’s game, I won’t be surprised if the Royals do far better than expected. I think both clubs will manage to get at least 4 on the board, so I’m on the Over to cash.
