New York Yankees at Colorado Rockies
Gerrit Cole is having another tremendous season as the Yankees ace. The strange thing is that this is the worse strikeout and walk rate in his Yankees career. In fact, a lot of his metrics are down from last year, but he’s been able to pitch well, with 13 of 19 outings being quality starts.
Chase Anderson is still looking for his win of the season, and the Rockies have lost four straight of his starts. After being claimed off waivers by Colorado, he started well with a 3.15 ERA in his first six starts but has completely fallen off with an eye-popping 18.32 ERA in his last four.
The pitching matchup alone should have you go with the Yankees on the run line, and Cole has done well at Coors Field with a 2.92 ERA.
Parlay Odds: +476
Miami Marlins at Baltimore Orioles
Steven Okert will get his first career start in his 201st career appearance. He’s yet to pitch two complete innings in any outing this year, so it looks like the Marlins will rely on their bullpen for the entirety of this game. He has a great fastball/slider combination with a 38% strikeout rate this season.
Kyle Bradish is having a much better sophomore season for the Orioles, who have caught up to the Rays in the American League East. The main reason for his improvement is his better control of his pitches, and he’s giving up one walk less per game than last year. What could be his problem today is that he’s not an overpowering pitcher, and Miami’s ability to put the ball in play could mean trouble.
Baltimore has been able to mount two comebacks against Miami’s bullpen this weekend, and they should be able to give Bradish enough support, even if he isn’t at his best.
Parlay Odds: +643
Tampa Bay Rays at Kansas City Royals
-
- Leg 1: Rays -1.5 (-130)
- Leg 2: UNDER 9.5 Runs (-115)
- Leg 3: Zach Eflin To Record 6+ Strikeouts (-110)
The Rays have been able to lead the AL East because they have surrounded themselves with talent on offense and pitching. They do well at bringing in pitchers and getting the best out of them, including Zach Eflin, who had a 4.49 ERA in seven seasons with the Phillies. What has changed this year is that he’s mixing his pitches more, increasing his use of the curveball and cutter, but his sinker has gotten better with more movement.
Brady Singer took a huge step back after the breakout in 2022 and reverted to the struggles of his first two years. He goes sinker or slider with 95% of his pitches this year, and both have regressed in movement with and went from a collective 11 in run value last season to -12.
