Wednesday, August 21 - MLB

1. Red Sox at Astros

A. Red Sox are 13-7 (65.0%) in last game of an away series. Astros are 3-6 (33.3%) in the last game before a road trip. 

B. Verlander is 41 and hasn’t pitched since June 9.

Red Sox ML +124

2. Twins at Padres 

A. Twins 14-5 (73.7%) before day off.
Padres 4-5 (44.4%) in last home game before a new home series.

B. Starting pitchers usually don’t fare well after pitching 5,183 feet above sea level. In fact, last time Matt Waldron pitched at Colorado, he lost to the Reds 5-2 in his next game, and gave up 4 runs.

Twins ML +110

Twins over 3.5 runs -135

3. Guardians at Yankees

Sure Joey Cantillo is from Hawaii and is living a better life than me. But, what we do have in common is we haven’t pitched at Yankee Stadium against the Yankees on a three game losing streak. Tired of it.

Yankees ML -198

4. Brewers at Cardinals 

A. This isn’t shark week, but the Brewers are young, aggressive, smell blood and are 7-1 (87.5%) against the Cardinals. 

B. The Cardinals’ Skipper is guiding the Padres to a division crown. The Cardinals are shipwrecked for the 2nd year under Oli Gilligan. The Professor ain’t walking through those doors anytime soon. The Cardinals are busy studying for their Adam Wainwright FFL draft. Pull the plug, the Cardinals are burnt toast.

Brewers ML -108

5. Angels at Royals

El Jucho hasn’t pitched since the Angels won the World Series in 2002. ‘Nuf said. 

Royals ML -175

Good luck!

I like the Yanks TT over. -200 on Cortes is .....

GL.

Sweep em again.

I want to bet Yankees, but Cleveland is 26-9 vs lefties.

6. Rockies at Nationals

Nationals are 9-0 in scoring over 8 runs in one of first two games returning home from roadtrip.

Rockies are 7-1-1 in scoring over 8 runs in one of first two games away after playing at home.

Rockies/Nationals over 8: -118
