MLB Picks 2021-08-23

Hey Fellas,

Like my previous post I haven't got on much to post despite having a great MLB season. Anyways I have two plays for tonight.

OAKLAND ML- Blackburn is starting for the A's which isn't anything special and his numbers are not astounding. However, I think he can keep this Mariners team conservative tonight. I still believe the Mariners bats are overachieving and I'm looking for some regression. I don't believe Gonzales gets the job done on the mound today. The Mariners have a fairly decent relief unit numbers wise versus the A's but I think it will be too much to overcome.

TORONTO ML- Definitely a hard nosed play on a team that's struggling. Furthermore it is the White Sox and they are hard to play against since they are stacked. The Jays are stacked too though, they just need to find their momentum again. The young Manoah looks like Lance Lynn's younger counterpart. Identical in size and stature. Lynn's been a little worn on the road and Manoah has faced this team before and has shown no pressure with the home crowd. After a look at the bullpens I see potential for the Jays with decent numbers against the Sox batter. It may be dicey and bold but give me the Jays today.

Good luck fellas!

Posted plays so far 4-1

Well the Blue Jays got it done. Let's just hope those A's close out this game.

Sorry about the last play on the A's fellas. Leave it up to the management to make an ill advised decision by closing with Trivino over Diekman. Leading 3-2 in the 9th and lose 5-3. Great manoeuvre...reminds me of Montoyo for the Jays...you're never safe even when you think you have an idea of who they should be using. I took a little first 5 innings and made some back from the full game...but unfortunately I didn't share that. Sorry guys this one goes down as an "L".

5-2 posted plays.
