Why These Picks?
DET Tigers v PIT Pirates: I love the price on this play, friends. Jackson Jobe (6.23 ERA) was, dare I say, catastrophically bad in his last outing having allowed 6 runs. On the other side, as much as I love Paul Skenes (3.88 ERA), he hasn’t been a reliable arm all season long. To boot, the Tigers offense has been cooking for the most part. Take the Over to cash.
SF Giants v CLE Guardians: I won’t lie to you – it pains me to do this. Good Canadian kid Matt Wilkinson is getting called up to pitch for the SF Giants this afternoon, but I just can’t bet against the Guardians in this spot. Cleveland starter Parker Messick (2.59 ERA) is a beast and hasn’t allowed more than 2 runs in any of his last 5 outings. And, in the event that Wilkinson does pitch a great game, I just don’t think he’ll get the run support he needs from the Giants’ offense to bag the win. I’m on the home squad to cover the RL this evening.
MIA Marlins v PHI Phillies: I don’t like Aaron Nola at home…or on the road, ha ha! But the math doesn’t lie here – Nola is 0-4 in Philly, and the Marlins offense has been great this season. In addition, Miami starter Sandy Alcantara has only allowed a single run across his last 4 starts. Give me the Marlins to pull off the upset.
