Why These Picks?
Athletics v BOS Red Sox: The Red Sox have been playing lights out since the second half of this season started – I’m stunned. And, while I don’t typically like starter Gage Jump (4.59 ERA), he didn’t allow a single run in his last outing against Boston. Comically, Jump’s last start against the Red Sox also saw Jake Bennett (2.90 ERA) on the mound, who allowed just 3 runs. With Boston’s bullpen playing as well as they are, I just can’t see this game reaching the high total projection. My money’s on the Under today, friends.
TOR Blue Jays v PHI Phillies: Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer (7.92 ERA) has had a couple nice outings recently, but I don’t think he’ll be able to keep the Phillies offense at bay. Scherzer’s last meeting with Philadelphia saw him allow 5 hits and 5 earned runs. On the other side, Aaron Nola (5.55 ERA) is an abysmal 0-4 at home with a 6.47 ERA in Philly. This game should see plenty of scoring; I’m on the Over to cash.
COL Rockies v STL Cardinals: Kyle Freeland (6.81 ERA) is horrible on the road; the man is 0-7 away from home and has allowed a ridiculous 15 runs across just his last 3 road outings. St. Louis should have no issue running up a score here, so I’m on the Over to hit, as well as on the home squad to put at least 5 in the bag.
