VIP Picks 8/15

1-1 yesterday with the Braves blowing the Yankees out and then we were on pace for our under until the Angels bullpen came in and blew it. On to Tuesday with a full slate so let’s get right into the picks!

MLB:

7:30 EST

Parlay

Braves ML / Dodgers ML (+115)

☑️ The Braves smoked the Yankees last night and they should smoke them again tonight when they face Luis Severino

☑️ Severino has been STRUGGLING and it’s been ugly for him in 6 out of his last 7 starts - he’s allowed 38 runs in those 7 starts

☑️ This Braves lineup is locked in and should tee off against him tonight

☑️ That will be needed since Braves pitcher Bryce Elder has struggled each of his last 2 times out. He will look to get back on track but he should get plenty of run support either way

☑️ The Dodgers will face Adrian Houser and the Brewers who they don’t have a lot of history against but he’s a guy I’m confident they will hit hard

☑️ 6-2 Bobby Miller will pitch for the Dodgers and he continues to pitch well, he’s coming off of 6 scoreless innings his last time out and has a 3.89 ERA on the season

8:10 EST

Mariners (Hancock) (-140)

☑️ It’s Jordan Lyles Day & the Mariners are facing him tonight so we are jumping all over them

☑️ Jordan Lyles is 3-13 with a 6.13 ERA this season

☑️ Emerson Hancock will pitch for the Mariners & he looked good last Wednesday in his MLB Debut. He pitched 5 innings & only allowed 1 run

☑️ The Mariners have lost 3 in a row following an 8 game winning streak. Let’s take them to get back on track tonight.

9:40 EST

Orioles / Padres Under (8.5)

☑️ I wouldn’t typically target these lineups in an under bet but I really like the starting pitchers tonight

☑️ Michael Wacha will pitch for the Padres & it’s his first start back from injury but he’s 8-2 with a 2.84 ERA

☑️ Jack Flaherty will pitch for the Orioles & he’s held this Padres lineup to a .230 avg in 61 at bats

☑️ Both teams have gone under 8.5 in 3 of their last 5 games
