Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Early betting patterns on this game have seen an enormously high number of wagers being placed on going over the total. A majority of that has been influenced by who today’s home plate umpire is slated to be. Since 2016, David Rackley has developed a reputation for being a very hitter-friendly umpire. However, I’m not on board with using Rackley’s recent tendencies to take for granted that this game will automatically being a high scoring affair. Especially so without weighing in any other contributing factors.

As a matter of fact, Hellickson has gone beyond 6.0 innings just once all year and that came way back on 5/8. That’s significant when considering the Nationals bullpen has a terrible 7.50 ERA and 1.72 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games.

The bad news for fans of the Yankees is Boston left-handed starting pitcher Brian Johnson has been extremely effective in his limited opportunities thus far in 2018.

Sabathia has made 6 starts against Boston, and he posted an outstanding 1.95 ERA throughout those outings. During that identical time frame, Sabathia is an extremely profitable 16-4 in his team starts when the Yankees are -100 to -150 on the money line. AS a matter of fact, New York is 20-7 this season when their money line is -100 to -150.

Since 2017, Masahiro Tanaka has seen 5 of his 6 starts against Baltimore go over the total, and his lofty 5.88 ERA played a significant role in those high scoring affairs.

Since 2017, Tanaka has gone over the total in all 8 of his starts when facing teams that walk 3.0 or fewer time per games. Those 8 appearances resulted in a combined 13.5 runs scored per game.

Furthermore, Oakland has gone 27-7 during its last 34 games and that includes 18-5 on the road.  Meanwhile, Colorado has scored just a combined 6 runs and had only 17 hits throughout its previous 3 games.

Furthermore, since 2011, Morton has made 4 starts at Coors Field in Denver and compiled as an awful 9.72 ERA and 2.10 WHIP while doing so.

They will be facing a Phillies team that enters today with a 51-40 (.560) record. The Orioles are dismal 1-11 this season when facing a team that owns a win percentage of .540 to .620. Baltimore has gone a poor 3-15 during its previous 18 games.

Philadelphia is coming off yesterday’s 3-0 loss to the Mets. The Phillies are a very profitable 26-14 this season following a loss in their previous game. Philadelphia starting pitcher Nick Pivetta has already faced Baltimore at Camden Yards this year and was outstanding. During that start, Pivetta allowed just 1 earned run on 2 hits while striking out 11 and walked just 1 man in 7.0 innings pitched. The Phillies bullpen has collected a stellar 2.66 EERA and 1.01 WHIP over their last 7 games. Despite Wednesday’s loss, Philadelphia has still won 10 of its previous 14 games. Bet on Philadelphia for a 5* money line wager.

Heaney will be facing a Dodgers team which has averaged 6.1 runs scored and amassed a stellar .835 OPS over its last 7 outings.

The Dodgers Alex Wood is 4-0 in his last 4 starts with a sparkling 2.55 ERA.

Game# 967-968

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

Detroit’s Michael Fulmer is 10-1 under the total in his starts during day games this season, and his shiny 2.67 ERA in those outings certainly attributed to those low scoring affairs.

Gray is compiled a solid 3.28 ERA and 1.14 WHIP thru 8 road starts in 2018. Gray has also gone 8-0 under the total in his career starts on the road when they transpired in July. Since the calendar year turned to June, the Yankees have owned the most dominant bullpen in baseball. The Yankees are 22-5 under in their last 27 outings and that includes 12-1 under during its previous 13 road games.

The Blue Jays Sam Gaviglio has posted a very good 1.93 ERA in 4 home starts this season. Friday will be the 7th game played already this season at the Rogers Centre in Toronto between the Yankees and Blue Jays. Thus far, 5 of the first 6 played went under the total.

Any team (Cleveland) with a total of 9.0 to 9.5 that’s revenging a loss in which they scored 1 run or less, and they own a win percentage of .540 to .620 and is facing an opponent (Oakland) with a winning record, resulted in those games going 48-11 (81.4%) under the total since 2014.

Kansas City (Junis) @ Milwaukee (Peralta) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 977-978

Play On: Milwaukee -1.5 (-115)

The Kansas City Royals will be facing right-hander Freddy Peralta on Tuesday. I mention Peralta because the Royals are a pathetic 12-40 (.231) this season when going up against right-handed starters. The Royals ace Jake Junis has been in terrible form over his last 3 starts while collecting a terrible 8.10 ERA during that period. What’s even more alarming is Junis allowed 7 home runs in just 16 2/3 innings pitched during those previously mentioned 3 appearances.

As a matter of fact, Kansas City has averaged an atrocious 1.9 runs scored and 5.8 hits per game during its last 18 outings.

Baltimore’s Kevin Gausman has made 1 start in each of the past 4 seasons against Seattle and had a solid 3.24 ERA and 1.04 WHIP during those outings. Gausman is averaging 5.6 strikeouts per start in 2018.

Any American League money line home underdog of +125 to +175 (Baltimore) with a pitcher (Gausman) that averages 5.5 or more strikeout per start, and they possess a team on base percentage of .310 or less, resulted in those home underdogs going 51-35 (59.3%) since 1997.

Speaking of Jose Berrios, he’s displayed superb form over his last 3 starts while posting a 1.69 ERA. Berrios has also compiled an excellent 0.88 WHIP during 8 home starts in 2018. The Twins hurler has average 7.1 innings per start thru his last 7 outings. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Yankees (Gray) @ Rays (Font) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 919-920

The White Sox ended their 8-game slide with a 6-4 win over Oakland in Friday’s 2nd game of a doubleheader. Chicago looks as if they own something special with starting pitcher Dylan Covey. He’s gone 3-0 in his last 3 team starts at home while compiling a terrific 1.42 ERA. Unlike his pitching adversary on Saturday, Covey has given up only 1 home run this season in 40 1/3 innings of work. Bet on the White for a 5* money line underdog wager.

Any American League money line underdog of +125 to +175 that possesses a team on base percentage of .310 or less, and their pitcher averages 5 or more strikeouts per start, resulted in those teams going 50-35 (58.8%) since 1997.
