OPPOSITE PICKS: 482-548-9
Thursday:
DETROIT +150 vs. Cleveland
I’m suggesting putting American $$ on the Tigers? I am because Zach Plesac starts for the Guards. Not only is he 2-10 on the season but 1-7 with an 5.5 ERA on the road. Tigers are 26 games under .500…..BUT only 6 games under at home. So they are LIVE dogs.
OPPOSITE PICK: CLEVELAND -170

CHICAGO WHITE SOX -1.5 @ KC
Dylan Cease has quietly become one of the best pitchers in baseball. He’s not only 12-4 on the season, but 7-1 with an ERA under 2 on the road. Over the hill Zack Grienke goes for KC. He’s 3-7 on the year and has failed to get past the 5th inning in any of his last 6 starts. He’s done. White Sox roll.
OPPOSITE PICK: KANSAS CITY

HOUSTON -1.5 vs. Texas
Framber Valdez is 10-4 with a 2.88 ERA. Astros are 13-4 in his last 17 starts. Rangers send Cole Ragans to the hill for just his 2nd career start. Good Luck.
OPPOSITE PICK: TEXAS RANGERS

ARIZONA -180 vs. Pittsburgh
Ah, one of our favorite whipping boys is on the hill for the Pirates. Good Ole JT Brubaker gets the ball with his less than steller 2-10 record. 10-5 Mike Kelly stars for the Diamondbacks who are 5-2 their last 7 games and 3 games over .500 at home this season. We all know JT needs a “replacement”.
OPPOSITE PICK: PITTSBURGH +160

CINCINNATI vs. Chicago Cubs
It’s the Field of Dream game in Iowa. It’s a toss up game and I’ll go with the Reds who are playing .500 baseball since their 3-22 start. They were outclassed by the Mets, but this is a drop down in class facing the Cubs.
OPPOSITE PICK: CUBS Pk

BALTIMORE +110 @ Boston
Sox season is over. They’ve fallen 6 games back in the wild card race. They are 6-13 since the All Star break. O’s are 7-1 their last 8 games. O’s roll.
OPPOSITE PICK: BOSTON -130

CHICAGO @ Las Vegas (WNBA)
Revenge game for the defending Champion Sky as they lost to Las Vegas in the Commissioner’s Cup final two weeks ago. So give the mental edge to Chicago which won at Las Vegas back in June. Sky is 15-4 it’s last 19 games, while the Aces are “only” 9-5 their last 14 games.
OPPOSITE PICK: LAS VEGAS
