The Diamondbacks arrive at this contest on the heels of a four-game winning streak. Conversely, the Rockies have struggled recently, as Colorado has lost six of the team’s last seven games. Quite simply, Arizona is the better team at this point in the season. With that said, I am backing the Arizona Diamondbacks on the moneyline in this game.

The Mets have badly outplayed the Rangers in this series, and they have the edge on the bump. Thronton has a 3.40 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 79.1 innings while Rocker has a 4.47 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 143 innings. Rocker has a 4.87 ERA and a .256 allowed batting average in 85 home innings. Rocker isn’t somebody you want on the mound in a must-win game. I’ll take a shot with the Mets and the plus money.

I like the Red Sox to keep rolling in this one with Ranger Suarez on the mound, who has been in excellent form, with just two earned runs across his last three starts. Daniel Espino has been bad for the Guardians in limited usage and they have also been weaker against left-handed pitching this season. On top of that, the Red Sox have the best bullpen ERA in baseball this season, so take them on the moneyline at home in this one.

The Falcons have done Kevin Stefanski dirty with a 1-5 ATS mark in their last six lined games. Green Bay owns the better numbers, the stronger series history, and a 4-0-1 ATS Thursday-night ledger. After escaping New York with a 20-17 overtime win despite managing a mere 199 yards and converting just 1-of-9 third downs, it still leaves enough for the Packers, especially with Stefanski bringing a 6-30 ATS career record in outright away losses.
