Over/Under

Picked: Aug 12 @ 9:59pm

Analysis

Guardians starter Parker Messick has given up two or fewer runs in six straight starts and 8 of his last 9 outings for Cleveland. Keider Montero hasn't been as effective of late for Detroit, but 9 of the last 12 games he's pitched in have gone under 8.5 runs dating back to June. These two pitchers faced each other head-to-head on May 19th in Detroit, a 4-3 Cleveland victory (and under this total). With these two teams separated by half a game in the American League Central, look for another close, low-scoring affair in the Motor City on Thursday afternoon.

Spread

Picked: Aug 13 @ 7:10am

Analysis

While they did lose last night, the Tigers are doing that thing the Indians did in Major League where they are winning to spite ownership giving up. Good for them. Getaway game and end of a trip for the Guardians, who probably won't have excellent closer Cade Smith (31 saves, 2.30 ERA) available after he threw 38 pitches on Wednesday. With two solid starting pitchers in Parker Messick and Keider Montero (do parents not name their kids Matt or John, etc., any longer?) it should be a low-scoring game and that obviously increases the +1.5 chances of hitting.

Money Line

Picked: Aug 13 @ 9:25am

Analysis

Pittsburgh’s postseason hopes have been dwindling, losing seven of the last eight games. The Pirates offense has regressed as well as Braxton Ashcraft, allowing 21 runs in his last 24 innings. Tyler Phillips owns a 1.68 home ERA and backed by an offense that has outscored their opponents by a combined 24 runs over Miami’s last four games.

Money Line

Picked: Aug 12 @ 10:50pm

Analysis

We're gonna continue to ride that Fade the Mariners gravy train. They're now 23-36 on the road and 9-21 since July 5. Logan Gilbert is better than the first two M's starters in this series, but Max Fried is on the hill for the Yankees, and he's only given up 1 run in 11 2/3 innings in his last two starts against the Cubs and Braves. Those offenses are much more capable than the hapless Mariners.

Spread

Picked: Aug 12 @ 10:55pm

Analysis

The Yankees have won the last four meetings with the Mariners and also eight of the last nine. The Mariners come into this game in a world of hurt with a six-game losing streak and a 56-65 record, 4.5 games out of the last AL wild card spot. The Yankees have won their last two against the Mariners and look for the sweep on Thursday. The welcomed news is that they put 10 runs on the board Wednesday. Logan Gilbert has lost his last two outings against the Yankees, including March 31st when he gave up five runs in Seattle. Max Fried bounced back to his old self in his last outing against the Braves, allowing no runs in 6.1 innings. Yankees to win.
