Xam’s Daily Gems:
Orioles First 5 innings Money Line -145 FanDuel
The Orioles lost a disappointing series to the Athletics at home, and now have the rival Yankees in town. Grayson Rodriguez goes for Baltimore, and he will definitely be looking to put his last start behind him! All he did was give up 7 runs and not make it out of the 5th inning! However, at Camden Yards this year, he has a 2.25 ERA. The Yankees counter with righty Clarke Schmidt, who’s had a nice start to his season. However, he can be historically easier to hit, as his 5.23 road ERA from 2023 would suggest. All the Yankees did this past weekend was score 36 runs in Milwaukee, including 30 runs in the last 2 games! They’ve been mashing the baseball, and Rodriguez needs to be on point tonight. However, the Orioles can hit too! Prime spot for a bit of a letdown for the Yankees after such a dominant weekend. If Rodriguez can return to form, the Orioles should be able to score some runs themselves!
Celtics/Heat Over 202 Points -130 DraftKings
Twins -1 -134 DraftKings
Joe Ryan takes his turn in the rotation for the Twins tonight. He’s pitched well this year, to the tune of a 3.45 ERA. The Twins have been the hottest team in baseball recently, winners of 7 straight games! Now, they face arguably the worst team in baseball. Southpaw Garrett Crochet goes for the White Sox. He’s gotten off to a tough start this year, coming into today with a 6.37 ERA and giving up at least 5 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts! His last start was against the Twins and he gave up 5 runs in 4 innings of work. Thanks to their blowout win yesterday, they should have all of their premium bullpen arms available! If Ryan can keep his recent success going, the Twins shouldn’t have any issues getting their 8th straight win!
