New York Mets at Washington:
The Nationals took two of the first three games of this series, guaranteeing themselves at least a split against the first place Mets. We can’t see the Mets losing three out of four to Washington, so the Mets it is. Pick: New York Mets
Win
Minnesota at Cleveland:
Cleveland has quietly gone about their business, doing just enough to stay relevant. The Guardians will be relevant all year, but won’t blow anyone away. Minnesota has been a disappointment all year, and we don’t see that changing today. Pick: Cleveland
Loss
New York Yankees at Baltimore:
These are two teams trending in opposite directions right now. The Yankees are in first place in the American League East, primarily because of their bats. The Orioles are in the basement, because their pitching has been abysmal. The Yankees bats continue to stay hot and they get the win today. Pick: New York Yankees
Loss
St. Louis at Cincinnati:
St. Louis has remarkable home/road splits, and today they are playing on the road. They are just 2-11 away from Busch Stadium. That alone is enough to make the Reds our lock of the day. Pick: Cincinnati (Lock)
Win (Lock Record 14-16)
Athletics at Texas:
Even though he has pitched decent this year, we are still not sold on Patrick Corbin. Give us the Athletics to rough him up and get the win. Pick: Athletics
Win
Detroit at Houston:
Detroit has the best record in the American League behind the dominance of their starting pitching. Jack Flaherty has pitched well this year, but hasn’t gotten enough run support for a good record. The Tigers will finally get him some support, scoring early and often off of Ronel Blanco. Pick: Detroit
Loss
Atlanta at Colorado:
Atlanta has finally gotten hot, going 7-3 in their last ten games. Now they head to Colorado, who is the wort team in baseball. This is an easy pick for the Braves. Pick: Atlanta
Win
Miami at Los Angeles Dodgers:
The Dodgers started the year 8-0, but are a pedestrian 10-10 in their last 20 games. Expectations are high in Los Angeles, and they will take out their frustrations on a Marlins team that has allowed 21 runs in it’s last two games. Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers
Win
Happy picking everyone!
