MLB | Milwaukee 3 @ St. Louis 6 | 08/14 | 6:15 PM UTC

St. Louis -150

WIN

ANALYSIS: The Cardinals are ranked No. 3 in the majors in OPS (.785) against left-handed starters. Milwaukee's Aaron Ashby hasn't pitched in eight days, while St. Louis' Miles Mikolas is coming off the worst performance of his career at Colorado. The Brewers have a date with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. Take the Cardinals at home in this one.

YESTERDAY 4:34 PM

MLB | N.Y. Yankees 2 @ Boston 3 | 08/12 | 11:10 PM UTC

OVER 9

LOSS

ANALYSIS: Both teams have had lots of success against the opposing starter. Domingo German is allowing a 45.9% hard-hit rate, while Nathan Eovaldi's is allowing a 46.3%. German's ERA is 5.68 on the road, while Eovaldi's home ERA is 6.56 this season. Fenway Park ranks No. 5 in runs scored and No. 4 in home runs allowed. Finally, the Over is 3-1 when the total is set at 9 when these teams meet this season.

Fri 8/12

MLB | Atlanta 2 @ N.Y. Mets 5 | 08/07 | 8:10 PM UTC

Atlanta +122

LOSS

ANALYSIS: New York RHP Jacob deGrom will be on a strict pitch count in his second start of the year. Atlanta RHP Spencer Strider's FIP is almost a full run lower than his 3.30 ERA. His fastball-slider combo has been excellent, leading to eight strikeouts per game. Take the underdog Braves.

+415 5-1 IN LAST 6 ATL ML PICKS
Sun 8/7

MLB | L.A. Dodgers 5 @ San Francisco 3 | 08/04 | 7:45 PM UTC

San Francisco +1.5

LOSS

ANALYSIS: The Giants have lost seven straight to the Dodgers after getting shut out on Wednesday. Clayton Kershaw, however, is just 2-5 in his last seven starts against the Giants. The Dodgers might be looking ahead to Friday's game against the Padres. SF faces a lefty for the second straight game, and the Giants are ranked No. 6 in OPS vs. left-handed starters. An early day game after a night game tends to be lower scoring. I like the home team getting 1.5 runs at +100.

Thu 8/4

MLB | Cleveland 4 @ Tampa Bay 1 | 07/29 | 11:10 PM UTC

Tampa Bay -115

LOSS

ANALYSIS: Would you believe the Cleveland Guardians haven't faced a left-handed starter over the last 22 games (July 3rd)? It's true. The Guardians are ranked No. 29 in OPS (.613) against southpaws this season. Shane Bieber has a .303 BABIP (Batting Average on balls in play), while allowing a 43% hard-hit rate. Jeffrey Springs allows a 32.8% hard-hit rate and has three above-average pitches. Fastball (92.1 MPH) 48.6% of the time, change-up (81.4) 29% of the time and a slider (83.7) 22.1% of the time. The Rays are 9-1 in the last 10 meetings and 23-11 when the total is seven or less. Take the home team.
