Micah's Past Picks
George Kirby is who we're backing today. He's lost two of his last three starts but has only allowed one run between the three starts. All three have gone under and that's the move here, Mariners to the under is what I'm buying. All this and the fact that Chris Paddock has won his last three starts but I'm still going with the Mariners and under with emphasis on the Under.
The Phillies have won 7 Straight and they go for the two game sweep of the Blue Jays who they have now won four of five from. The Blue Jays are really struggling right now not hitting and when they score it's ruined by the other team scoring 11. Chris Bassitt has lost his last three starts. Aaron Nola has been the ace winning six great games for the Phillies and none of them allowing more than three runs. Phillies win.
The Orioles have won 7 Straight against the Nationals and they've stayed under 10 straight times. Tonight they meet in Washington with Corbin Burnes starting. He's lost his last two starts after being perfect to start the season. Trevor Williams has won his last three starts and he's only allowed two runs in two starts and zero runs in another start. The Orioles have a four-game win streak. Under is the top play.
Zach Wheeler has won his last three starts and the Phillies have won the last three against the Giants and go for four games sweep today against them. The Phillies have won five straight and 9 of 10. They are on roll playing their best ball of the season. The Giants have hit a rough patch they've lost five of the last six on the road. They are now six and 13 on the road this season. Phillies to win.
The A's have won six straight and eight of their last nine to make them .500 for the season at 17-17. The A's have taken all the early season negatives and made a positive becoming a functioning club. They have the number three bullpen in baseball, basically no one scores once they come in, or at least lately, sporting a 2.65 ERA. The Marlins are 9-26 and they don't give a damn. They just traded their best player after a three-game win streak. That is Management telling the players good luck. Let's see the A's get over .500 today. A's win.
The Phillies had a four-game win streak snapped by the slumping Anaheim Angels. But tonight the Phillies send Spencer Turnbull to the mound and he has gone four and one so far. He's allowed one run in his last two starts and he's allowed only five for the season. He's going he's going to take care of the Angels.
Houston beat Cleveland three times the last time they met last season. But this one has caught my eye because Hunter Brown has been, let's just say terrible. He has five starts this season and five losses. That's a total of 20 runs allowed. That's 20 runs in five starts. Carlos Carrasco is only a little bit better but the price is right to take Cleveland to win.
The Twins have won five straight over the White Sox including four this year. The White Sox got on with their 2024 season finally with the sweep of the Rays 3-0 so now they have five wins on the season. They just faced the Twins and lost four straight. Twins have won seven in a row. The Twins have the third-best bullpen sporting a 2.62 ERA and a .206 batting average allowed. The price is cheap because all of a sudden the White Sox appear good with their three-game win streak so we'll take the Twins to win.
The Dodgers have won seven of nine against the Blue Jays and their red hot coming in with the five-game win streak, their bat started heating up. They exploded for 12 runs yesterday. Tyler Glasnow has been almost perfect, four wins one loss, and he comes off his best outing with seven shutout innings in a 10-nothing win over the Mets. I'm on the Dodgers to win.
The Padres have beaten the Rockies seven out of eight times. Randy Vasquez made his first start for the Padres and lost to Toronto 5-2 allowing four runs in five innings. But the bet here is against Dakota Hudson who hasn't won in four starts for the Rockies and it's been him that's been the culprit of the losses. He's allowed 15 runs in four starts already. I'm taking the Padres.
The Royals like winning better than losing, they've won the last two against the Blue Jays after losing seven straight to them between last year and this year. It's a new brand of Royals. But Jose Berrios is on another planet. He hasn't allowed a run in his last three starts and has allowed three runs total on the season. He's won all five of his starts. It's the best run of his career. So I'm not betting against him and I don't care who is pitching for the Royals. He's cheap and he's on a vibe that I'm going to ride. Blue Jays to win.
We're going to ride Cleveland's five game win streak against the Red Sox who they've beat four of five this season. Cleveland is 17-6 this season for a profit of plus 1135. Cooper Criswell started on the 13th against the Angels and went four innings and allowed two runs. Carlos Carrasco has allowed four runs in his last three starts. The Cleveland bullpen is number two in ERA. Cleveland to win.
The Angels ended a five-game win streak by beating the Orioles 7-4 last night. Angels are 10-14 and the Orioles are 15-8 and look every bit as good as last season. The Orioles have also gone 14-7 to the over. Dean Kremer has allowed 11 runs in his last two starts and he hasn't won since his opener. Tyler Anderson has lost his last two starts. Orioles win a scramble game but the over is the best play.
The Giants could make it back to .500 on the season with a win and have won three of their last four while the Mets have lost three straight after winning 6 straight. Sean Manaea has been good in three of his last four starts but the one he was bad he was real bad allowing eight runs. He's won two of his last three. Blake Snell is a real mystery he allowed 12 runs in his last two starts and he's lost all four of his starts. The Mets win.
The Bucks don't have Giannis but it doesn't matter because the Pacers beat them four of five meetings during the regular season. They just had too much for the Bucks. Over went three and two in the five meetings. The Pacers went six and two in the last eight of the season including beating OKC and Miami. The Bucks have lost six of their last eight games and are fading fast. The Pacers steal game one.
