Well 1-1 because the Pirates couldn’t score and the O’s lost for our parlay but the Dodgers came through to somewhat salvage the day. Let’s see what we can put together today to put together a winning second half of the week.
MLB:
1:10 EST
Phillies (-135) 🥉
Love the Phillies with Nola on the bump at 11-4 with a 3.54 ERA. He’s pitched 6+ innings in 10 of his last 12.
The Twins will have an opener going also I’m not sure what the plan is after that.
The Phillies have split the first 2 games in this series but the Twins have lost 4 of their last 5.
6:40 ES
Orioles (McDermott) (-142) 🥈
How did the Orioles only score 3 runs last night? I don’t know. But I like them again tonight going up against Marlins starter Edward Cabrera and his 7.36 ERA.
THe only sketch part is that the Orioles have Chayve McDermott making his Major League debut on the mound. However, he’s posted a 3.96 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in the Minors this season so I think he will be ok especially vs one of the worst lineups in baseball.
8:10
Rangers ML / Dodgers ML (+112) 🥇
Nathan Eovaldi will pitch for the Rangers tonight who got rocked his last time out but he has been really good for the most part this season, especially at home with an 8-3 record.
2-9 Chris Flexen pitching for the White Sox and they have lost 13 straight games when he’s pitched so make it 14 tonight. The Rangers lineup has success against him and come in hitting .280ish.
The Dodgers have won 5 in a row and they have Tyler Glasnow on the mound tonight. He’s 8-3 at home this season and the Dodgers have won both of his starts against the Giants.
Robbie Ray is pitching for SF and it’s his first start of the season. He’s just 12-13 as a starter over the last 2 seasons and 74-71 overall in his career. He gets a lot of strikeouts but he also gives up a lot of hits.
The Giants have also lost 4 of 5.
