10* MLB Mistake

SF Giants +104 (Action)

The Mets are back home after a pretty big win over the champs in Chavez Ravine on Sunday....to salvage a win in the 4 game series finishing the road trip...before a day off and back to business in Citi Field Tuesday night. Sadly for Rojas et al....they invite in for a series...the best team (yes better than LAD) in the Majors!

Tylor Megill will take the mound for the hometown Mets and make his second consecutive start against these Giants...and while he fared ok....there are some glaring holes I am pumped to take advantage. His exit velocity against the Giants was at a season-high while his fly ball rate was at a season-low! The Giants will feature a healthy normal lineup and a VMI of OVER +6 for the game....while also knowing each and every single night...the West makes them HAVE to compete. Gabe Kapler has proven himself to be a fantastic manager and leader and they continue to just flat out be FOR REAL!

Long is being called up from AAA to make a spot start and coming from the left side he will make for a miserable opening for the Mets. Baez is back but Lindor is still out and only 2 teams have slashed worse than the Mets against LHP the past 10 days:

-8.4/.206/30 for 10 days against LHP for NYM

The Giants have equal rest and the bullpen will be ready as Long is unlikely to go more than 3-4 innings....and of course a la SF in 2021... in the past 7 days they have the best bullpen in the majors!

2.77 FIP/3.43 xFIP in the 27.2 innings since 8/16 and will wreak havoc with all the other factors....which finally include...the Mets 'pen

.172 BABIP & 83% LOB rate last 7 days screaming for regression against the best team in baseball!

• Game: (951) Arizona Diamondbacks at (952) Pittsburgh Pirates
  Date/Time: Aug 24 2021 7:05 PM EDT
  Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
  Play Rating: 3 units
  Play: Arizona Diamondbacks -116 M Bumgarner (LHP), J Brubaker (RHP) Must Start
  
  3 unit Arizona Diamondbacks (-116) over Pittsburgh Pirates (Bumgarner/Brubaker) –
  JT Brubaker may be the biggest key to this play, 4-13 on the year with a 5.49 ERA, but in the L15 games he is 1-11 with a 6.92 ERA, in the L7, 0-5 with a 9.09 ERA (allowing 33 ER in 32.2 IP), and in the last 3 games, his ERA is 12.86!! Brubaker is 2-8 @ NGT with a 5.69 ERA in 14 starts and since the All-Star Break, he has gone 0-4 with an 8.78 ERA in 6 starts. Playing behind Brubaker, Pittsburgh is, 3-16 in his L19 starts (including 1-15 when the line is > -120) and they have lost 8 straight games when Brubaker is matched-up vs. a LHP pitcher. Lefties have been a weakness for PIT TY, they are 1-12 vs. a LHP w/ ERA > 4.00 and the line is under 150, 2-13 in L15 as a D vs. LHP, they are 1-7 @ H vs. LHP and 1-10 in the L11 @ ARI. Arizona also has a stud on the mound in Bumgarner, even though he may be a few years removed from his prime, he hasn't allowed more then 2 runs in a start since June, and the Diamondbacks are 5-1 in his L6 starts.

Strike Point Sports
3-Unit Play. Take #965 LA Angels (-130) over Baltimore (7:05 p.m. Tuesday, August 24)

The Orioles have lost 18 games in a row and I think a familiar face is going to send them to their 19th consecutive one. Dylan Bundy made 127 starts for Baltimore over 5 seasons, but he was jettisoned to Los Angeles after never living up to expectations. Bundy was great last season for the Angels, but he has struggled for most of this year until recently, as he has allowed 5 earned runs over his last three starts with Los Angeles winning two of those contests. Spenser Watkins will be on the mound for the Orioles and he has been dreadful over his last 5 starts allowing at least 4 earned runs in each contest. Watkins has taken the loss in each game and Baltimore has been outscored 41-13 over those matchups and I think the results are going to be similar in this game.
