Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles have had a disastrous campaign overall, winning just 1 in 3 games to sit 38-76. They’ve not been a good home side at all, going just 17-41 in front of their home fans. Right Fielder Trey Mancini has emerged as their premier offensive threat, totalling 27 home runs and 65 RBI on the campaign. Dylan Bundy will pitch in this one, going a poor 5-11 with a 5.15 ERA this season.

Houston Astros

In stark contrast, the Astros are absolutely soaring at 75-40 on the season. They aren’t as good on the road, although they still maintain a very solid 32-25 road record. 1^st Baseman Yuri Gurriel has really come on of late, leading the team with 80 RBI to go along with his 23 home runs. Ace Wade Miley will pitch here, going 10-4 with a 3.05 ERA on the season.

Prediction: Astros -1.5

I don’t typically opt for run line bets, but the gap between these two sides is so large that I’m confident of a big Houston win. Bundy just can’t be trusted against this elite Astros attack, while Miley should comfortably get through this Orioles lineup. The $1.38 moneyline isn’t fantastic value, but the extra odds at -1.5 runs make this +EV.

New York Mets

The Mets have been good but not great this season, still in the playoff hunt at 59-56. This is in large part due to their strong home record, where they’re 32-20 on the campaign. 1^st Basemen Pete Alonso has led the charge all year, putting up epic stats of 37 home runs and 83 RBI. Marcus Stroman will start in this one, having been poor so far since being acquired from Toronto.

Washington Nationals

The Nationals have been in some excellent form of late, looking like likely playoff participants at 61-53. They’ve been very solid on the road this season, managing an impressive 31-28 record away from home. 3^rd Baseman Anthony Rendon has been the key man all year, leading the squad with 24 home runs and 87 RBI. Stephen Strasburg will pitch in this one, sporting an outstanding 14-5 record to match his 3.72 ERA.

Prediction: Nationals $1.77

While the Mets have been a strong home side this season, getting Strasburg at this price is tough to ignore. The Mets are heavily reliant on Alonso for offence and if he doesn’t fire, I think they’ll really struggle to score here. Stroman is too inconsistent to be counted on here and I expect a big offensive day from Washington en route to victory.

Minnesota Twins

The Twins have had a very strong season to date, looking like legit contenders at 70-44. They’ve got an outstanding home record at 35-22, going 6-4 in their last 10 contests overall. Kepler and Cruz are the two offensive engines of this squad, both going over 30 home runs and 75 RBI this season. Pitcher Kyle Gibson has been stellar all season, managing an 11-4 record with a 4.03 ERA.

Cleveland Indians

The Indians have also been outstanding this season, going 68-46 so far. They’ve been a particularly strong road side, going 31-22 away from home and winning 7 of their last 10 overall. Carlos Santana has been their main man offensively all season, totalling 24 home runs and 64 RBI. Mike Clevinger has been stellar when called upon, going 6-2 with a 3.07 ERA so far.

Prediction: Twins $1.96

While Clevinger is a solid pitcher, I’m not sure his presence warrants Cleveland being favourites on the road. Minnesota are still the better of these two sides and I think their batting lineup is much stronger and deeper. Kyle Gibson is no slouch either and another strong performance from him should result in a Minny win here.

San Diego Padres

The Padres have really faded of late, now sitting at just 52-61. They haven’t been a particularly good home side, going just 25-30 in front of their home fans. Manny Machado has had a very good offensive season with 26 home runs and 69 RBI, while Hunter Renfroe has gone for 30 homers and 59 RBI of his own. Eric Lauer will pitch here, going a pedestrian 6-8 with a 4.43 ERA.

Colorado Rockies

The Rockies have been similarly poor of late, now at just 52-62 after a thrashing by Houston. Their road form has been pedestrian all season, going just 23-35 away from Colorado. Nolan Arenado continues to carry an otherwise stagnant offence, going for 25 home runs and 85 RBI on the campaign. Veteran Jon Gray will pitch here, going 10-7 with a 4.03 ERA this season.

Prediction: Padres $1.92

While the Rockies have a slight pitching edge here, they’ve been an atrocious road side all season. Jon Gray’s performances have also tailed off of late and I’m not sure he breaks out of that against the hard-hitting Padres. If Lauer has a solid day at the office, even money for the Padres at home looks like good value.

Chicago Cubs

The Cubs have looked very solid of late, improving to a 61-51 record on the campaign. They’ve been especially good at home, chalking up a 41-18 record in front of their home fans. Short Stop Javier Baez has been their offensive engine this campaign, putting up an outstanding 28 home runs and 76 RBI. Ace Jon Lester is slated to pitch here, going 9-7 with a 3.86 ERA this season.

Oakland A’s

The A’s are also enjoying a stellar campaign, now sitting with a 64-49 record. They haven’t been the best road side this season, sitting at .500 with a 27-27 record. 3^rd Baseman Matt Chapman has provided great production so far, leading the squad with 24 home runs and 64 RBI. Brett Anderson is slated to pitch here, also going 9-7 and sporting a 4.04 ERA.

Prediction: Cubs $1.67

While these are two evenly matched sides, home field advantage is huge for Chicago in this one. They’ve been an excellent home side all season, whereas Oakland are just an average side on the road. Especially with ace Jonny Lester on the mound, I like the Cubs to improve their home record here.

Minnesota Twins

The Twins are enjoying a fantastic campaign so far, already joining the 70-win club in 2019. Interestingly, their home and road records are exactly the same at 35-21 on the season. Right Fielder Max Kepler is having a particularly excellent season, leading his team with 31 home runs and 77 RBI. Jose Berrios will pitch in this one, sporting a strong 10-5 record and 2.80 ERA so far.

Atlanta Braves

The Braves have been nearly as strong as their opponents, currently sitting at 66-48. They’ve been one of the better road sides in baseball this season, going an impressive 34-23. 1^st Baseman Freddie Freeman has kept up his elite production, going for 27 home runs and 87 RBI this season. Max Fried will pitch in this one, sporting a fantastic 12-4 record despite an ERA over 4.

Prediction: Twins $1.62

The Twins have been in outstanding form of late, winning 8 of their last 10 contests, compared to an indifferent 5-5 run from Atlanta. Jose Berrios has also been money at home all season and I expect him to contain Atlanta here. If the Twins offence can keep firing, they look decent value at $1.62 in this one.

Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates have been in an absolute rut of late, winning just 2 of their last 16 contests to sit 48-63. They’ve been slightly better in front of their home fans, going 24-28 at home this season. Josh Bell has been their only offensive player of note, dominating proceedings with 27 home runs and 89 RBI on the campaign. The Pirates haven’t announced a probable pitcher for this clash.

Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers remain in wildcard contention, now just above .500 at 57-56. They do have a relatively poor road record, going just 24-32 on the campaign. Right Fielder Christian Yelich is enjoying an elite campaign, leading the squad with 37 home runs and 82 RBI. Jordan Lyles will pitch here, going 1-0 with a 1.8 ERA in his lone start as a Brewer.

Prediction: Brewers $1.74

Revenge angles are some of the best to bet on and I think Jordan Lyles will want to get one over on his former side here. The Pittsburgh offence is too reliant on Bell and I can see them struggling again here. With a strong and talented batting lineup, I think Milwaukee scores enough here to take the road win at solid value.

Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles got a rare win last time out, beating Toronto to move to 38-73. They have had an atrocious home record all season, going just 17-38. Nunez and Mancini have formed a decent offensive duo, both eclipsing 25 home runs and 60 RBI. A probable pitcher hasn’t been announced for this one.

New York Yankees

Baseball’s glamour side have been in excellent form, now sitting at an impressive 72-39. They’ve been a solid side outside of Yankee Stadium, going 29-21 in road tilts this season. Short Stop Gleyber Torres has been particularly impressive of late, second on the team with 23 home runs and 62 RBI. The Yankees are yet to announce a probable pitcher for this one.

Prediction: Yankees -1.5

Realistically, this is one of the bigger mismatches you’ll see in the majors all season. The Orioles pitching staff has struggled all year and I don’t think they can contain a well-rounded Yankees offence here. I expect a high-scoring outing and relatively strong pitching for New York here, which means good value on the -1.5 run line.

Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies have been decent but unspectacular this season, going 58-52 so far. Their home form has been particularly strong, going an impressive 34-25 in games played in Philly. Right Fielder Bryce Harper is the man to watch offensively, leading the team with 73 RBI in his first season in Philly. Drew Smyly will pitch here, going 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA in his 13 innings so far.

Chicago White Sox

The White Sox have had a disappointing campaign to date, sitting well outside the playoff mix at 47-61. Their road form has been disastrous, going just 20-33 on the campaign. 1^st Baseman Jose Abreu is still an excellent offensive weapon, leading the club with 23 home runs and 77 RBI. Reynaldo Lopez will pitch in this one, going a poor 5-9 with a 5.43 ERA this season.

Prediction: Phillies $1.60

This appears to be a mismatch in terms of both talent and motivation. Philly have a clear edge in the pitching battle here, with Smyly looking very impressive in limited action so far. Conversely, Lopez likely struggles against a stellar Philly attack, meaning $1.60 is strong value for the playoff contenders at home.

Colorado Rockies

The Rockies have really tailed off after a bright start, now sitting at just 51-60. They’ve still been a solid outfit at home, sitting just above .500 at 28-27. 3^rd Baseman Nolan Arenado has really carried the team offensively, leading the way with 22 home runs and 81 RBI this campaign. Kyle Freeland will pitch in this one, going a dreadful 2-9 with a 7.48 ERA this season.

San Francisco Giants

The G-Men have had a resurgent second half of the campaign, now above .500 at 56-55. They’ve been a particularly strong road side, boasting a solid 31-27 away record this season. Center Fielder Kevin Pillar deserves a lot of credit for this offensive renaissance, leading the way with 56 RBI. Tyler Beede will pitch here, going 3-5 with a 5.01 ERA this season.

Prediction: Giants $2.15

Especially with how the Giants have been playing of late, it’s tough to see why Colorado are such strong favourites here. Freeland has struggled immensely this campaign and I see no relief for him against a stellar Giants offence. I think Beede and the bullpen are capable of a stellar display for SF here, which makes them good value to get another outright road win as underdogs.

Atlanta Braves

The Braves have quietly flown under the radar, enjoying a very strong 65-46 record to date. Freddie Freeman has been their main man offensively, leading the way with 26 home runs and 85 RBI. Ronald Acuna has also been an immense contributor, adding 26 home runs and 66 RBI of his own. Dallas Keuchel will pitch in this one, going 3-4 with a 3.86 ERA this season.

Cincinnati Reds

The Reds look likely to miss the playoffs this season, sitting just 51-57. This is despite another strong campaign from Eugenio Suarez, who has put up 29 home runs and 71 RBI. Controversial Yasiel Puig has also enjoyed a solid campaign, adding 22 home runs and 61 RBI of his own. Ace Sonny Gray will pitch here, going 6-6 with a 3.45 ERA to date.

Prediction: Braves $1.74

I think the Braves are comfortably the better of these two sides and they’ll be looking to right yesterday’s loss. Gray is a solid but unspectacular pitcher, who I believe the Braves offence will have no trouble dispatching. If we get a decent home display from Keuchel, I really like Atlanta at strong $1.74 odds.

Oakland A’s

The A’s have turned their season around, now well in playoff contention at 62-48. 3^rd Baseman Matt Chapman has been the man offensively, leading the squad with 24 home runs and 64 RBI. Ramon Laureano has been a capable deputy, adding 21 home runs and 58 RBI of his own. No probable pitcher has been announced to start this one for Oakland.

St Louis Cardinals

The Cards have had a solid but unspectacular campaign, now sitting at 58-50. They’ve been in particularly good form of late, getting series wins over Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and the Chicago Cubs. Paul Goldschmidt has been the driving force behind this run, going off for 25 home runs and 58 RBI. Dakota Hudson will pitch in this one, going 10-5 with a decent 3.88 ERA so far.

Prediction: A’s $1.70

With how well they’ve been playing of late, it’s tough to fade the A’s at home at such a solid price. Their pitching staff has been in great form, especially their excellent relief staff. If Chapman, Laureano and Co. can get things going on offence, I like another home win for Oakland here.
