5-unit Play. Take ‘over’ 7.5 Tampa Bay at New York Yankees (7 p.m., Friday, sept. 4)
The yankees keep hitting the ball! they have scored 15, 20 and 13 runs over their past six games. they are 5-3 against the total in their last eight games and i think that this total is way too low. tampa bay is coming off a high-scoring series with baltimore. they scored 23 runs over the last three games and the rays have gone 8-2 against the total in their last 10. luis severino has been great for the yankees since his call up. in his five starts he has just a 2.17 era. but i think that he is finally going to get hit hard. the ‘over’ is 12-5 in new york’s last 17 friday games and the ‘over’ is 4-1 in jake odorizzi’s last five starts against the yankees. new york has his number and i think their lineup will keep it going today.
3-unit Play. Take #970 Toronto (-1.5, +115) over Baltimore (7 p.m., Friday, sept. 4)
The orioles have been on a horrible run. they are just 3-13 in their last 16 games and have been terrible lately. they are all but out of the race. toronto has been great for the last month. the jays are 23-5 in their last 28 games and they are 40-16 in their last 56 home favorite. drew hutchinson has a high era but he has won 10 of 11 starts against his division and he is 16-5 as a home favorite. ubaldo jiminez has lost six of his last seven road starts. i think the blue jays are going to stay hot and they will keep beating up the orioles. toronto is 48-20 the last 68 times they have hosted the orioles
4-unit Play. #978. Take Oakland -135 over Seattle (Friday @ 10:05pm est)
We roll with oakland here at home against seattle in what should be a chance for us to get to a new season high which is always exciting. nice easy 4-unit winner which hit by the 2nd inning yesterday in baseball, we hope for a similar easy winner today. we have a chance for our 80th raw win this year doing our 1 pod system which is simply remarkable to go 79-48 over 127 plays for the entire year and we keep doing it on a steady basis. per this selection, a couple items. olmos is 1-0 with a 2.13 era but note he is the underdog in this game and by a decent margin here.
note that in his last start he gave up 5 hits and 5 walks in a game that the white sox eventually ended up winning 5-6 in what was a no-decision for edgar. so you have a pitcher here who gave up 10 baserunners essentially in a little over 5 innings and looks to avoid doing that against an oakland team who will be up for this game given the fact they come off a pair of losses and are looking for pitches to hti. plus, you have a oakland team that sends brooks to the mound who though has over a 5era it is not indicative of his quality of pitching of late.
sure, he gave up 8 earned runs in less than 2 innings at toronto in 1 horrible start. but in his most recent start he gave up 2 earned runs in 6 innings against arizona en route to a 3-2 a’s win and prior to that had given up 2 earned runs in 14.1 innings against houston and cleveland. let’s roll with the pitcher that has quality stuff here, an a’s bounce-back and for edgar to likely get hit by an a’s squad that is looking to bounce-back.
