Why These Picks?
MIL Brewers v CIN Reds: If you think Milwaukee wins this game, take them to cover the RL. The Brewers’ last 7 straight victories have all been by at least 2 runs, and starter Shane Drohan (3.75 ERA) has had some really solid showings lately. Drohan hasn’t allowed more than 2 runs in any of his last 3 starts, while Cincinnati’s Rhett Lowder (5.14 ERA) has allowed 10 runs across his last 3 games. I’m on Milwaukee to win by at least 2 this evening.
DET Tigers v CLE Guardians (GAME 2): I’m going after all the plus money, here. It’s clear that the Tigers have given up for the season having won just 4 of their last 15 games, and I’m not burning any cash wagering that they’ll try to keep it close. In addition, Foster Griffin (3.21 ERA) is a solid arm at 15-4 on the season, while Detroit’s Andrew Sears is carrying around an ERA of 6.75. Take the Guardians to win by at least 2.
MIN Twins v CHI White Sox: Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews (4.58 ERA) is notably worse on the road than he is at home; I don't doubt that the White Sox offense will get more than a few runs past him. Comically, Chicago pitcher Erick Fedde's (4.16 ERA) last outing was against Minnesota but on the road (the White Sox won...) I think Fedde will get the job done again here at home. I'm on Chicago to win.
