Tigers vs. Mariners Prediction: Wednesday, August 7th

I shouldn’t need to keep pounding the drum on this but I will once again: the Mariners have no offense whatsoever and tonight they are taking on Tarik Skubal, making this a premium matchup to attack. Seattle scores just 3.47 runs per game at home this season, the 2nd lowest average in MLB ahead of just the Chicago White Sox – that’s the kind of company they keep. Skubal on the mound should feast as well with the Mariners having the highest home K-rate in MLB at 29.2%. 

Those numbers set up a few wagers off the bat here as Skubal is a strikeout machine with 24 in his last 20.1 innings pitched. His number of 7.5 is juiced a bit but against these Mariners bats, it could be 8.5 easily, so I will take the easy meat here and go over this prop. Then there’s the overall offenses that will be lacking against Skubal and George Kirby, so let’s ride the under on 3.5 runs in the 1st 5 innings. 

Adding a fade to a batter prop as well with our MLB best bets here as Kirby is allowing just a .234 average to lefties this season and Parker Meadows fits the bill as someone to attack. Meadows is hitting .161 on the season and has 4 hits in the last 2 starts, so time for him to come back to earth and go under 0.5 hits tonight to cash this final bet in this game. 

 

 

 

Angels vs. Yankees Prediction (Game 1): Wednesday, August 7th

This one was rained out yesterday unfortunately, but I did love the stats and splits of the matchup, so let’s go back at it again today. The matchup between Davis Daniel and Luis Gil on the mound is a great one for the Yankees from the start, but there are other key factors at work that will net us some player props as well!

Davis Daniel is a rather green pitcher to the majors having only 4 starts under his belt this season and an ERA of 4.91 to go with it. During his 3 starts in July, he allowed 12 earned runs over 14 innings and 3 home runs; that’s not good when you’re facing Aaron Judge who is hitting .332 with a 1.154 OPS against righties this season. I love Judge this afternoon and his total bases prop of 1.5 is calling my name like a siren, so let’s go over on that. 

I am also going to add Juan Soto to the MLB predictions ticket but will take hits+runs+RBIs as the walk rate scares me a bit and I will feel better knowing he can just be hit home to help us on the prop. Lastly, we are taking the Yankees to tee off one more time and wagering on them to go over their team total runs prop of 5.5 runs; should be a steam rolling today!
