    Analysis

    The Yankees likely lose their closer David Bednar tonight after using him for 1.2 innings yesterday, along with seven relievers. I’m betting on Aaron Boone to push Gerrit Cole through the 6th inning here with a thinner bullpen, and he's pitched into the 6th in each start so far. He was pulled at 5.1 innings last time out but completed six innings in each start before that. He allowed a home run, double and a walk before departing last time, but the walk was on a close 3-2 pitch and the home run came on a great swing by Jose Ramirez, on a well-located pitch. I think Cole eats some innings tonight and gets through six innings but even 5.2 would get us a win!

    Picked: Jun 9 @ 1:34pm

    Analysis

    New York has been fine since Aaron Judge was lost due to injury, winning eight of 13. Both teams used a lot of relievers in Monday’s 10-ining matchup, so that favors the Yankees with Gerrit Cole (2.00 ERA through three starts) over Slade Cecconi. Cecconi shut down New York last week and Cole had issues with Cleveland, but we’ll back a reversal of those fortunes.

    Picked: Jun 9 @ 1:35pm

    Analysis

    The Diamondbacks own a .569 OPS the last two weeks vs. right-handers – not great considering here they face Max Meyer, who is 6-0 with a 2.81 ERA. At home he’s even better (4-0, 1.87 in seven starts). Zac Gallen still hasn’t found it and has been brutal outside of the desert (0-3, 7.57 ERA in six starts). The Marlins have won five of six , and are 9-4 when Meyer starts. Arizona has dropped eight straight with Gallen on the hill.

    Money Line
    Picked: Jun 9 @ 1:36pm

    Analysis

    Payton Tolle (3-2, 2.28 ERA) and Nick Martinez (5-2, 2.29) probably offers the top starter matchup of the evening. Tolle is a model of consistency, while Martinez is slightly worse at home, is coming off his worst start and owns a 5.23 career ERA vs. Boston. Tampa has had issues with left-handed starters. The Red Sox offense has laid two straight eggs but is averaging over one additional run on the road overall.

    Hits Allowed
    Picked: Jun 9 @ 4:52pm

    Analysis

    DraftKings (-140). It’s a strength on strength matchup with Zack Wheeler taking on the Blue Jays. Wheeler has only allowed 30 hits in 50.2 innings, and his .171 OBA is even better than his dominant 2024-2025 (.192 and .197, respectively). Under in 7/8 starts, but this is a matchup on the tougher side of the spectrum, with the Blue Jays hitting .259 against righties. Still, that average dips to .245 against power pitching. I’ll take my chances with the Phillies second ace tonight.
