The Los Angeles Dodgers are 67–38 and 36–19 on the road. The Dodgers have won six of the team’s last eight games. The New York Mets are 43–62 overall and 21–30 at home. New York has lost four of its last five games, including an 8–3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers five days ago. Los Angeles will go with Emmet Sheehan in this contest. He is 4–7 with a 5.13 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and 99 strikeouts. He has allowed six or more earned runs in two of his last five starts. The Mets counter with Freddy Peralta. He is 5–9 with a 5.01 ERA, a 1.46 WHIP, and 110 strikeouts in 109.2 innings pitched. He has allowed five or more earned runs in two of his last four starts. Neither pitcher has been great lately. I will take the Dodgers offense, especially with the loss of Soto's bat for the Mets.
Play on the LA Dodgers. This is a 4% play
The Houston Astros will go with Ronel Blanco on the mound. He is 0-0 with a 7.71 ERA and 8 strikeouts this season. Chicago counters with Erick Fedde on the mound. He is 5-6 with a 4.16 ERA and 66 strikeouts this season. Fedde has been stronger at home, and the Sox play better at home as a team.
Play on Chicago. This is a 3% play.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are 53-52 overall and 27-26 at home. The Pirates' pitching staff has a 4.30 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. Braxton Ashcraft gets the start for the Pirates. He is 9-4 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. The Chicago Cubs are 59-45 overall and 29-23 on the road. Chicago’s pitching staff has a 4.19 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. Jameson Taillon gets the start for the Cubs. He is 2-5 with a 5.38 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. The Cubs have won their last four meetings against the Pirates, all of them in Pittsburgh. Over is 7-3 in their last 10 meetings. Ashcraft is 4-1 at home with a 3.68 ERA, and in both of his starts against the Cubs this season he gave up one run. Jameson Taillon has been terrible on the road with a 6.21 ERA. I am going to take the better offensive team here at + money and hope Taillon keeps it close early.
