MLB Units for March/April (-4.64 units)
Early Slate
12:00pm cst: Los Angeles Dodgers (-166) vs. Minnesota Twins (+140); Total 8.5
Bobby Miller will be on the mound for LA. He had a very strong first start to the season against the Cardinals but then got blown up by the Cubs. The Twins have loss six of their last seven games to begin the season. Chris Paddack will be on the mound and he gets absolutely destroyed by the Dodgers. We have to keep buying this Dodgers offense and fade the Twins. The wind is also blowing out.
Pick: Dodgers -1.5 (-105) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Max Muncy H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (-125) [via DraftKings]
12:00pm cst: Philadelphia Phillies (-142) vs. St. Louis Cardinals (+120); Total 7.5
This is a cheap price in my opinion for Aaron Nola. Lance Lynn has one great start and then one terrible one. I prefer Aaron Nola and the Phillies on the road.
Pick: Phillies (-142) [via DraftKings]
2:00pm cst: Seattle Mariners (+102) vs. Toronto Blue Jays (-122); Total 8
This pitching matchup favors the Blue Jays and Yusei Kikuchi who loves pitching against the Mariners. It also helps that the Jays have success against Logan Gilbert. Vlad Jr. has destroyed Gilbert and Gilbert has never had a good game against Toronto. Those that don’t have H+R+RBI, Total Bases over may not be a bad look with plus money.
Pick: Blue Jays (-122) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Vladamir Guerrero Jr. H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (-150) [via DraftKings]
3:00pm cst: Tampa Bay Rays (-120) vs. Los Angeles Angels (+100); Total 9
Tampa Bay will have Zach Littell on the mound who has been blazing hot. Angels are going with a bullpen game it looks like. Littell at this price is tough to pass on against this Angels offense.
Pick: Rays (-120) [via DraftKings]
Evening Slate
6:00pm cst: Miami Marlins (+180) vs. New York Yankees (-225); Total 8.5
It is no surprise how terrible the Marlins have been playing to begin the season. Marcus Stroman is off to a great start for New York, along with the Yankees offense. Let’s keep buying on the Yanks when the price is right.
Pick: Yankees -1.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
6:00pm cst: Baltimore Orioles (-105) vs. Boston Red Sox (-115); Total 9
Kutter Crawford is a good young pitcher for the Red Sox but the Orioles lineup hammers him. Not only that but we have the debut of Jackson Holliday! Buy, buy buy!
Pick: Orioles (-105) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Jackson Holliday Hits OVER 0.5 (-160) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Jackson Holliday H+R+RBI OVER 1.5 (-115) [via DraftKings]
Pick: Jackson Holliday Runs OVER 0.5 (+130) [via DraftKings]
6:40pm cst: Houston Astros (-122) vs. Kansas City Royals (+102); Total 9.5
The Astros will have rookie Spencer Arrighetti will be on the mound against a red hot Royals team. How long can this Royals winning streak last? It has to end sometime. If my scouting report is correct, Arrighetti, is a power pitcher than can rack up strikeouts mixing his powerful fastball and sweeping slider. Let’s buy on this information betting the Royals will have an off night against a rookie looking to prove himself. This is the type of lotto worth throwing out there.
Pick: Spencer Arrighetti Strikeouts OVER or 6+ (+505) [via BetOnline]
Pick: Spencer Arrighetti Strikeouts OVER or 8+ (+4507) [via BetOnline] (they will limit bet size to $22)
