Why These Picks?
TEX Rangers v LA Angels: Grayson Rodriguez’s (17.18 ERA) only start for the Angels resulted in him allowing 7 runs in 3 innings, friends. That said, I fully expect that he’ll get pulled early in this game – but LA’s bullpen is a far cry from reliable. On the other side, Jacob deGrom (3.01 ERA) is 1-2 on the road, and I don’t doubt that the Angels will get a few past him given his recent performance. Lastly, the Over has cashed in 9 of the last 10 meetings between these two squads – I’ve gotta roll with a high-scoring affair here.
OKC Thunder v SA Spurs: The Spurs have been exceptional at putting a win in the bag after a loss all season – but most notably, they’ve won and covered in every game after a loss in the playoffs so far. I don’t expect them to break this habit now; I’m on San Antonio to cover.
WAS Nationals v ATL Braves: It’s tough to build a case against the Braves offense right now. Also, don’t be fooled – the Nationals are back on their bullshit again listing Miles Mikolas as the starting pitcher (lol…), bit it’s Richard Lovelady (2.61 ERA) who will take the mound first. Regardless, I think Atlanta puts a victory in the bag here by at least a couple of runs. Take the RL to cash this evening.

Today's Parlay(s):
Parlay (+466) | 0.20 Units
Reasoning: The Overs in today's parlays are simply due to advantageous pitching matchups (or rather, non-advantageous...lol). As for the Rays, I think they keep their game with the Yankees close, as Nick Martinez has been pitching lights out since season start; he's allowed a mere 3 runs across his last 5 outings.
-SEA Mariners v KC Royals Over 8.0 (-115)
-TB Rays +1.5 (-170)
-DET Tigers v BAL Orioles Over 8.5 (-110)
