VIP Picks 7/11/24

Well 1-1 but we still profited on the day thanks to the +119 Mets/Astros play. The Braves blew multiple leads in their game so that was frustrating to watch but we are still up 3 units on the week going into Thursday. Build on it.


MLB:

2:10 EST

Pirates (Skenes) (-120) 

  • It’s Paul Skenes day for the Pirates who comes in 5-0 with a 2.12 ERA which is second best in the league.

  • 2-6 Aaron Civale and his 5.18 ERA will pitch for the Brewers so the Pirates bats should be able to score some runs off of him.

  • The first 2 games of this series have been blowouts with each team taking one of them and it’s hard to see Skenes giving up much today. 


Adding one play for tonight:


7:10 EST

Red Sox (Houck) (-1.5)

  • Let's jump on the Sox lineup vs Luis Medina in a hot and humid Fenway Park tonight just like when we took them the other night and they scored 11 runs after 2 innings. 

  • Medina was actually solid his last time out vs the Orioles but the A’s have lost 5 of his 7 starts overall this season and they guy has over a 5 ERA for his career. Light him up.

  • Tanner Houck will pitch for the Red Sox and don’t let his record fool you, he’s got some good stuff and he ranks 6th in the league with a 2.68 ERA. 

  • The Red Sox are 7-2 over their last 9 so let’s take them to stay hot with the clear advantage in the pitching matchup.
