Xam’s Daily Gems:
Phillies Money Line -198 DraftKings
Aaron Nola on the bump in a home game? Say less! Aaron Nola has a 3.24 career ERA at home and the Phillies are playing like the best team in baseball right now. The Phillies have a dominant offense and know what it takes to win!
Blue Jays Money Line -178 FanDuel
The Blue Jays are at home with Jose Berrios on the mound. He has a 2.94 ERA on the year and has really improved lately. Bailey Falter has pitched well for the Pirates, to the tune of a 3.55 ERA. However, that ERA jumps to 4.73 on the road! The Blue Jays are finally getting things going with their 3 game winning streak and the Pirates are averaging just 4 runs per game. The Blue Jays have the lineup to perform and score, and if they do, their bullpen will be ready to hold down a lead late in the game!
Mets First 5 Innings Money Line -132 FanDuel
Luis Severino has been awesome at home this year, posting a 2.00 ERA at Citi Field! The Mets have a lineup that’s capable of producing and should be able to against southpaw Jordan Montgomery, who’s struggled since signing with the Diamondbacks. He has a 4.69 ERA on the year. Believe it or not, he’s been worse at home, with a 6.64 ERA! If Severino can keep a dangerous DBacks lineup in check, the Mets SHOULD be able to score enough to get it done in the first half of the game!
Red Sox Money Line -166 FanDuel
Tanner Houck may be the best pitcher the Red Sox have had this season. He has a sparkling 1.90 ERA on the year. Kenta Maeda hasn’t fared as well for the Tigers, with a 5.80 ERA. On the road, he has a DISGUSTING 11.32 ERA in 3 games. The Red Sox didn’t show up last night but they have an elite lineup that’s capable of scoring runs. Their bullpen is fully rested and should be ready to go!
Braves Money Line -230 FanDuel
The Braves have been in a funk since Ronald Acuna Jr. was lost for the year with a torn ACL. However, this is the PERFECT get right spot for them. Reynaldo Lopez has a 1.75 ERA on the year and 1.21 ERA at home! The Braves still boast a strong lineup that should be able to score against JP Sears. Sears has a 4.28 ERA in road starts this year. The A’s don’t have a great lineup, so if Lopez can keep them in check, the Braves should get this series off on the right foot!
Brewers Money Line -166 DraftKings
The Brewers start a series with perhaps the worst team in baseball, the Chicago White Sox. Myers has struggled with a 4.43 ERA on the year, but facing such a terrible lineup should give him the chance to right the ship. Erick Fedde has a 2.80 ERA on the year, but that jumps to 5.47 on the road! The Brewers have been a good home team and can hit. Myers will be the key here. The Brewers SHOULD have their elite bullpen arms ready for this game. If Myers can do his part, the home fans in Milwaukee should go home happy.
Mariners Money Line -158 FanDuel
Bryan Woo has been great this year, coming into tonight’s start with a 1.66 ERA! He has shown he has the stuff to compete at this level. Jose Soriano has pitched the to the tune of a 3.61 ERA for the Angels. The Angels have struggled to score without Mike Trout, averaging just over 4 runs per game. The Mariners SHOULD have all of their bullpen arms available as well. If Woo can keep the Angels in check, the Mariners should score enough to get it done!
Luis Severino Over 4.5 Ks -156 FanDuel
Severino has 5 or more strikeouts in 4 of his last 6 games and overall has pitched very well at Citi Field. The Mets could use length from him with their bullpen in shambles, so he should get plenty of chances to miss bats tonight!
