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.
