6-0 start to the MLB season is nice but the basketball has been off the last 2 nights. Let's focus primarily on baseball today for a big Saturday!
4:05 EST
Orioles / Angels Over (8.5) 🥉
These two scored 14 runs in Game 1 of the series.
Now we get 2 starting pitchers who both lineups have had success against and should hit hard today.
Grayson Rodriguez will start for the Orioles and the Angels had a game against him last year where they scored 8 runs in 3.1 innings against him. 7 of his last 10 starts at home have gone over 8.5.
Griffin Canning will pitch for the Angels who a handful of guys in the Os lineup have been good against.
It’s crazy the Orioles scored 11 runs and were only 3 for 11 with runners in scoring position last game.
Over looks good here with a nice Spring day in Baltimore.

Alternate Run Line
Reds (Greene) (-1) not (-1.5) 🥈
The -1 gets us -126 odds instead of -170 on the straight moneyline. It’s a push if they only win by 1 but just a safe way to get better odds.
The Reds will be facing Patrick Corbin who they come in hitting .429 against in a small sample size. Elly De La Cruz is 4 for 6 vs Corbin.
Corbin has racked up 50 losses over the last 3 seasons and we have made a ton of money betting against him.
Hunter Greene will start for the Reds & he doesn’t have much history vs the Nats but he’s entering year 3 in the big leagues so look for him to take a leap forward this season. He gets a lot of strikeouts.
The Reds won 8-2 on Opening Day and they have the advantage in this game today as well.
4:10 EST
Twins (Ryan) (-125) 5️⃣
The Twins are going up against Seth Lugo who they come in hitting .317 against
Joe Ryan will pitch for the Twins and he went 2-0 vs the Royals last season pitching 6+ innings and allowing 2 or less runs in each game.
Ryan has always been good against this Royals lineup and he’s held them to a .153 avg in 72 at bats.
Let’s take the Twins backed by a solid start from Joe Ryan.

Parlay
Oilers ML / UConn ML / Hurricanes ML (+101) 🥇
The Oilers will host the Ducks who they have beat 8-2, 7-2, & 5-3 this season. The Ducks come in just 1-8-1 over their last 10
UConn is playing Illinois at the TD Garden in Boston tonight so it’s basically a home game. Both teams have looked good to this point but UConn is really clicking on all cylinders right now and they are -105 to win it all.
The Hurricanes will take on the Canadiens who they have gone 2-0 against this season. They’ve lost their last 2 road games but they’ve been good on the road overall this season.
