Pittsburgh +1.5 – There was a big adjustment on this game yet the fact remains the same, the Pirates are plus money this year when they are an underdog, the still take 45 % of the consensus on the +165, however the Brewers are in a division battle and I’ll take the run a half insurance for my pick – Pirates +1.5
The Giants are fighting for that wild card spot against you guessed it the Cubs and others, they are +130 bringing 60% consensus, my wife bought me a Cubs hat for my birthday and I’m picking the Giants to win this afternoon.
Minnesota taking in a scary 90 % of the consensus money, scary because no they aren’t 90% winners vs division rivals in Cleveland they are trying to sweep a series in Cleveland but even still the matchup is 6-6 for the year. Situationally I backed off because Cleveland is due for a win, all the bets seem to be on the road team who has put up 28 runs in the first two games of the series putting a little work on the bullpen as well. Twins -130, late scratch.
In Oakland we see 55 % of consensus money line on the A’s, the guys taking the Blue Jays are piled up on the run line laying the 1.5 here. Not one day this season would you say the A’s were going to be a better team than the Blue Jays record wise, but that doesn’t mean they can’t win one. My pick is Oakland +1.5
