04-26-24 | Nationals +150 v. Marlins | 3-1 | Win | 150 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Neither the Washington Nationals or the Miami Marlins can be confused with good baseball teams. Both teams are coming off series where they were swept. The Nationals had won two in a row before losing their last three games. They are 4-6 in their last 10 games. They will send Trevor Williams to the mound. He has been a bright spot for the Nationa;s, posting a 2-0 record with a 2.91 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. The Marlins have lost three in a row and four of their last five games. They have the worst record in the NL and will look to turn things around with Jesus Luzardo taking the mound. This season, he is 0-2 with a 6.58 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. The Nationals rank 28th in runs scored. Their pitching is not that much better as the rank 23rd in team ERA. The Marlins rank 26th in both runs scored and team ERA. The Nationals are four games below .500 while the Marlins are 14 games below .500 and have the fewest wins in the NL. Washington is a .500 team on the road while the Marlins have the worst home record in baseball. Washington has won three of the four games Williams has started while the Marlins have lost four of Luzardo’s five starts. The Marlins have lost five of the last seven and 15 of the last 20 when facing a team from the National League. Washington has the better pitcher and their offense will do just enough to pull out the win. PLay on Washington. This is a 3% play | |||||||
04-26-24 | Cubs -102 v. Red Sox | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
The Chicago Cubs despite all their injuries are 16-9 this season. Boston comes into this interleague series at 14-12. The Cubs are coming off a sweep of the Astros. They rank seventh in team OPS and are putting up 5.32 runs per game. The Chicago Cubs will send Shota Imanaga to the mound for his fifth start. He is 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA and a 0.75 WHIP in 21.1 innings. The BoSox will send Kutter Crawford for his sixth start. He is 1-0 with a 0.66 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP in 27.1 innings. With both pitchers having great seasons I will have to look at the better offense. The Cubs are fifth in run production while the Red Sox are 15th. The Cubs have been dealing with injuries to key offensive players but are still finding ways to produce runs and win games. Their bullpen is a little shaky but I still like them to get a road win here. Play on Chicago. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Kansas City Royals take on AL Central rivals the Detroit Tigers in afternoon baseball. The Royals are coming off a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. They will look to keep the momentum going by sending Seth Lugo to the mound. He is 3-1 this season with a 2.03 ERA. In his last outing, he allowed four runs on nine hits in 5.1 innings. The Tigers took two of three against the Rays but lost the last time out. They will look to get a win by sending Reece Olson to the mound. He is 0-3 despite posting a respectable 3.80 ERA. The Detroit Tigers have been putting up 4.04 runs per game. The Kansas City Royals put up 4.68 runs a game. Lugo has been able to avoid big innings despite giving up almost a hit an inning. The Tigers haven’t hit well all season so Lugo should be able to limit the Tigers scoring opportunities. Olson has not won this season and has posted a WHIP of 1.45. The Royals have the better starter and offense in this one. Play on Kansas City. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
04-25-24 | Astros v. Cubs +113 | 1-3 | Win | 113 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros finish off their three-game set with the Chicago Cubs at the Friendly Confines. The Astros have struggled out of the gate and have been dealing with injuries to their starting rotation. They will look to avoid a sweep by sending Justin Verlander to the mound.

They will send Javier Assad to the mound for his 5th start of the season. He is 2-0 on the season with a 2.11 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. Chicago has won 7 of their last 10. As good as Verlander is, I doubt he can go nine innings and the Astros bullpen has been awful, posting an ERA over 6. The Cubs are 9-3 at home and I like them to win this one. Play on Chicago.

Earlier this season, Wheeler went six innings and allowed three runs (one earned) with 10 strikeouts against the Reds.

Last time out, he gave up four runs in six innings. He is 1-1 at home with a 4.50 ERA over 12 innings. Peralta has pitched well so far this season and should be able to find success against a struggling Pirates offense. Keller struggled last time out and will be facing a Brewers offense that can do damage. The Brewers have Christian Yelich back in the lineup and other key players have come off the IL. I like Peralta and the Brewers at this price. Play on Milwaukee. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Twins won the AL Central title last season, but that is not saying a lot as it was the worst division in baseball. The Twins lost key players from their rotation with Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda leaving in the offseason. Minnesota’s pitching was one of the best in the league last season and they will need to produce again this season. The Royals matched a franchise record with 106 losses and was one of two teams in the division with over 100 losses.Kansas City’s pitching was among the worst in the league last season. Lopez was 3-0 in three starts against the twins last season, giving up just six runs. Minnesota has the better lineup on paper and if things hold to form they have a huge advantage in the pen based on last season. Take the twins to open the season on the road with a win.

The Detroit Tigers open the season against Central Division rivals the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers went 78-84 last season while the White Sox were 61-101 and as one of four teams to lose 100 games. The Tigers send Tarik Skubal to the mound to face Garrett Crochet. Skubal pitched well last season, allowing 28 runs in 80.1 innings pitched while striking out 102 batters. They did not do a lot in the off-season and are hoping their young players can step up. White Sox starter Garrett Crochet has battled injuries the past two seasons, missing all of 2022 and pitching only 12.2 innings last season. The Tigers have a lineup with great potential and are facing a pitcher with more questions than answers. The Sox still have some pop in their lineup but I think they will struggle against Skubal.

The LA Dodgers and the San Diego Padres wrap up their South Korea series early Thursday morning. The Dodgers took the opener 5-2 yesterday. The Padres will send Joe Musgrove to the mound and the Dodgers will counter with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, making his major league debut. The Padres couldn’t get much done at the plate scoring two runs on four hits but were still winning until a fluke play cost them a big inning. The Padres used eight pitchers in the game. Musgrove went 10-3 last year in just 17 starts as he was limited due to injury. He posted a 3.05 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. He struck out 97 batters 97 innings. This spring, he has thrown six innings with an ERA of 13.50 and a 1.83 WHIP. He has not fared well against LA, posting an 0-7 record and a 3.92 ERA. The Dodgers got lucky yesterday with a fluke play in the eighth on a routine double play ball that they turned into a four run inning and a win and a cover on the run-line. The Dodgers offense didn't really do a lot despite getting seven hits and nine walks. Yamamoto will make his first-ever MLB start after coming over from Japan. This spring, he has an ERA of 8.38 and a WHIP of 1.96 while striking out 14 batters in 9.2 innings pitched. Musgrove is 0-7 in his career against the Dodgers. The Padres’ offense looked a lot like last years offense will have to try and get their offense going against an unknown pitcher. The Dodgers also struggled to score but not for a lack of trying as they produced seven hits and nine walks. If yesterday was any indication, I don’t see Musgrove going long as the Padres used eight pitchers yesterday and I expect the same format today. Play on the LA Dodgers. This is a 3% play | |||||||
