ANALYSIS: I love the Braves to jump on 42-year-old Rich Hill, who has a 6.49 ERA at Fenway Park. Atlanta ranks second in OPS versus left-handed pitching (.777) and should take out frustration after losing a big NL East series in New York. The Red Sox bullpen has been terrible lately, too. Play Atlanta -1.5 runs at -105.
ANALYSIS: Astros games have hit the Under 63.6 percent of the time this season. Jose Urquidy has been very good at Minute Maid Park, going 4-2 with a 2.30 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Martin Perez has been stellar on the road (5-0, 2.26 ERA, 1.15 WHIP). The total has gone Under in the last six games in Houston and is 10-1 in the Astros' last 11 games overall. Play this one Under 8 (-120).
ANALYSIS: Jimmy Yacabonis is opening for Ryan Yarbrough and Yarbrough has actually been pitching a lot better lately. The Brewers are also ranked 25th in the league in WOBA against lefties in the last 30 days. The Brewers have lost 6 of 7 since the trade deadline while the Rays have won 4 of 5. Freddy Peralta probably won’t go deep making his second appearance off the IL and he didn’t pitch great the first time back. The Brewers have the second worst bullpen in the league in the last 30 days while the Rays are ranked 12th.
ANALYSIS: The Under is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings in Kansas City. The teams combined to score more than eight runs only three times in 11 games this season. Kansas City is a bottom-five team in scoring at home, averaging 3.82 runs per game. While the White Sox are a better team on the road, the loss of Tim Anderson hurts them offensively. Brady Singer and Lance Lynn faced off six days ago and the game also went Under. Play the Game 1 Under 8.
ANALYSIS: This is a strategy I like to use when I think the underdog will win at least one of the games in the doubleheader. I think the Royals will at least split this doubleheader at home today, so I will play the Royals in Game 1, then if they win we profit. If they lose, we come back and play the Royals as underdogs in Game 2 and come out with a profit. Brady Singer pitched decent against the White Sox last time around allowing 4 ER in 6 IP while Lance Lynn allowed just 1 ER in 6 IP. The White Sox will be without Tim Anderson though for 4-6 weeks as he is now injured, and they are about a .500 team without him. Bobby Witt Jr. and Sal Perez are in the lineup. I like the Royals in Game 1.
