Prayer to my father after his horse riding accident yesterday, but baseball sometimes is there even on my worst days to occupy my mind from things that otherwise would worry me to death.
MLB on FOX – Beware the stats for Ranger Suarez aren’t nearly as good as they are for the rest of the league vs. the Mets. That’s the reason this game has the highest total of the day with the best pitcher first half of the season on the mound for the first place Phillies. That pushed me away from consensus on the Phillies who are never really a “bad” bet this season. I’m on the OVER 9.5 – 10 depending on where your line is.
Twins vs. Pirates- Not familiar opponents here, the Pirates took the opener to the 3 game set. 90% consensus on the Twins and I’ll follow Twins -117.
Orioles vs. Tampa Bay- I was on B-more until I saw the pitching stats. Bradley 8.16 era vs. the O’s, but Kyle Bradish 1-3 with a 7.12 era vs. Tampa Bay. That put me squarely on the over 8 where I found 94 % consensus there in agreement.
Red Sox- On paper the best matchup and biggest favorite of the day.
Cleveland- The Guardians do it with pitching, especially the bullpen being at the top of MLB. The Marlins won yesterday and the line not being -200 is the only thing that scares me a bit. Still taking Cleveland parlay with Boston to a 1 unit play.
As always Best of Luck and Enjoy Your Saturday
