(#964) Cleveland Guardians | ML | . 

Seth Lugo (6-7, 4.61 ERA) vs. Parker Messick (10-8, 2.80 ERA) . 

I did lose with the Guardians as a client selection yesterday. However, I'm not going away from Cleveland after dropping that game from me. Kansas City has looked much better in this series. As a matter of fact, they've looked much better throughout August. However, it's too little too late for them. Cleveland is still battling for a playoff spot & that makes this game ultra important.

Seth Lugo doesn't have terrible numbers. But, his 6.41 ERA in the month of August suggests that he's fading. Looking at the other side, Parker Messick has been one of the reasons why this Cleveland team has been so good. Unlike Lugo, Messick has a 2.12 ERA in August and his WHIP is nothing short of dominant. Hammer the Guardians.

Burns' Prediction: 4-2 Guardians.

This is a FREE PLAY on the Orioles.

The Orioles have won back-to-back series, and they opened this one with a 4-3 win last night. I believe Baltimore will keep the good times rolling in what sets up as a favorable starting pitching matchup for it tonight.

The visitors hand the ball to Shane Baz (4-14, 4.04 ERA), while the home side counters with Jack Perkins (3-9, 6.68 ERA).

Baz is coming off a loss despite pitching decently, allowing three runs over six innings vs. the Rays.

It was his 12th straight outing without a win, despite also throwing seven quality starts over that span. He owns a 135:52 K:BB this year.

Perkins earned a win in his last outing, also allowing three runs over five innings to the Astros.

He's struggled overall, though, posting a 7.55 ERA since July, which includes four starts with five or more earned runs allowed.

Look for the Orioles to take advantage of this matchup; consider BALTIMORE.

Good luck, NP

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take Houston over San Jose (8:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 29) We have been doing well with our free soccer picks, so let’s grab another winner this Saturday. San Jose was high in the MLS standings to start the season with nine wins in 10 matches, but they haven’t won since before the World Cup. Since June, they have five losses and a draw, with a goal differential of -14. They hosted another struggling side, Minnesota, on Saturday, and this was the worst loss yet, a 5-1 home loss. They gave up during that match, and that seemed like a spot where they might circle the wagons and give an inspired performance. But instead, it seems like they didn’t care. They have been plummeting in the standings, and we just don’t see them raising their level of play here on the road against Houston, the No. 2 side in the Western Conference. Houston has collected 22 points at home in 10 matches, with seven outright wins and a +6 goal differential. They have won 11 of 15 home meetings against San Jose. The Earthquakes have conceded at least a goal now in 17 straight matches, and the defense and goalkeeping has been dreadful and seems to be getting worse by the match. We think this number will rise as the match gets closer, so jump on this one early!

My selection is on Ottawa plus the points over B.C. at 7 pm et on Sunday.

Bettors are lining up to fade the Redblacks on a weekly basis now and you can't really blame them as Ottawa remains winless on the season and has dropped the cash in four straight games. We'll grab the points with the Redblacks here, however, as they return home for the first and only time this month and face a Lions team that's feeling really good about itself off four straight wins and a season-high two-game ATS winning streak. B.C. will play in Ottawa on Sunday and then have a quick turn-around as it faces a much tougher matchup in Montreal on Friday. Look for Ottawa to finally put forth a competitive effort in this the first meeting between these two teams this season. Take Ottawa (8*).
