My best play of the night is under 4.5 runs in the first 5…..plenty of those in the market but I’ll also play small here. Simply, I believe in Sonny and don’t believe in the Cards offense.
Love this spot for the Dodgers who are at home against a Diamondbacks team that will be relying on their bullpen. Arizona's bullpen that possesses the 5th highest ERA and 2nd highest WHIP in the majors. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be on the hill for LA and he went 6 scoreless frames against this Diamondbacks lineup earlier this month. I like the Dodgers to win by multiple runs.
Smith is having another spectacular season and he continues to destroy left handed pitching, especially at home. In 13 games at home he's batting .500 off lefties with 2 homers and 6 driven in. He is slugging a robust .667 in those situations and he sees Joe Mantiply, tonight's starter, quite well, going 3-for-4 with a coupla RBIs vs him. I think he's good for a double or two tonight
We have been dabbling in Teoscar's markets quite a bit since it becae very clear he loved Chavez Ravine as his home parl. He has 30 ABs vs lefties at home and has a .793 SLG with 4 HR (most in MLN) and 12 RBIs (2nd most). Joe Mantiply is gonna have trouble with this Dodgers lineup and righties will crush him. Will Smith is another guy to watch. Hernandez has been an RBI machine, with 22 in 27 home games and 37 on the season.
Dean Kremer has been pitching better of late. He’s had five strikeouts, or more, in three of his last four outings, striking out 10 batters in two of those games. St. Louis currently has the 12th highest strikeout percentage in the league. The Cardinals have been averaging 9.33 strikeouts a game over their last three as well.
The Stros are inching back and their leadoff guy has actually cooled off during their climb. But I like him here. Has quality ABs vs Detmers and Detmers putting a lot of guys on base lately. He's scored 5 times in the last 7 games and with more bats going now (Tucker, Pena) I see Altuve setting the table tonight. Teams run a ton on the Angels catchers, and a stolen base could aid our cause tonight, too
Gavin Stone has done a really nice job for the Dodgers this season and I like him in this spot against a D-Backs team that has some issues hitting the bal. Dodgers are awesome at home and kill the ball. Arizona is 5-15 against teams that are above .500. Dodgers took two of three from Arizona in their first series and covered this in both
It's very fair to begin speculating on the current effectiveness of Cards starter Sonny Gray, who has tired noticeably and lost velocity once beyond the third inning or so in his last two starts (with an ERA of 9.90), suggesting that his recent troubles have to do with much more than simply pitching away from Busch Stadium. He's also allowed four homers across his last two starts, another red flag. Granted, Dean Kremer off of a shaky outing on the O's side, but Baltimore had won in this three previous starts. The Orioles are also 29-15, the Cards only 20-26. Wrong team favored? Play Orioles on Money Line
