MIKE'S ORIOLES/RED SOX MLB BOOKIE BOMBER

Baltimore righty Kyle Gibson is 3-4 with a 3.38 ERA in eight career meetings with Boston. Red Sox righty Corey Kluber is 6-4 with an ERA of 3.94 in 16 career starts vs. Baltimore. Boston deserves to be a favorite, but the price is right to back a Baltimore team that had a +11.7% ROI as road underdogs last season. 

8* PLAY ON BALTIMORE ORIOLES. 

I like the Yankees as a home favorite against the Guardians Thursday night. The Yankees are 12-3 in Nestor Cortes' 15 home starts on the season and 3-0 in his last three starts. Cortes posted a 0.49 ERA over those three outings and he is 1-0 with a 2.50 ERA in five career appearances (two starts) against Cleveland. Guardians righty Shane Bieber is 1-1 with an ERA of 5.74 in three career starts against the Bronx Bombers.

MLB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

I expect the Braves to bounce back after losing the opener of this National League Division Series. The Braves are 24-6 in Kyle Wright's 30 starts this season, 14-3 in his home starts and they have won nine straight with Wright as the starter. As for Phillies ace Zach Wheeler, the team is just 8-6 in his 14 road starts. Despite yesterday's win, the Phillies are 4-11 in the last 15 meetings in Atlanta.

The over/under was 7-20-1 in Verlander's 28 starts this year.

Toronto has averaged 2.6 runs per game over its last seven games while the Yankees have averaged a miserable 1.3 runs per game over the same stretch.
