MLB Handicaps: 4th of July

Yesterday’s DDSN Player of the Game: Kyle Tucker who was 4/4 with 1 HR, 4 RBI & 3 R

These prices are per Draft Kings, which are similar to FanDuel if those are available to you. Some use off shore accounts that have more juice than what is listed or are unavailable. If H+R+RBI is unavailable to you then I suggest you split a 1 unit bet 33% each or whatever % you’d like to 1 or 2 hits, 1 run & 1 RBI. You should get + money on 2/3 of those and that will help long term. Or find a way to pair them up in 2’s or 3’s (parlay). For baseball season, I personally bet 1 unit to win X and don’t lay more than -165. This refers most to player props. Questions? Just ask!

Early Slate

  • 3:00pm cst: Philadelphia Phillies (+125) vs. Tampa Bay Rays (-145)

The Rays have been struggling a bit as of late but the Phillies are trying to catch their stride at the midway point. Aaron Nola does not have as good of numbers as Zach Eflin but this Phillies offense likes playing against Eflin. Look for Harper, Schwarber and Turner props. I like this game to go over 8 runs. I was hoping we would get a better number on the Phillies here.

Pick: Over 8 (-110)

  • 3:00pm cst: Colorado Rockies (+160) vs. Houston Astros (-190)

That Astros are back home after taking 3/4 game against the Rangers in Arlington. They were in an Ole West Shootout yesterday out lasting the Rangers in a game that saw over 20 runs. That is a main key indicator for me to go under in this game. Also, with Kyle Freeland and Brandon Bielak on the mound I like it even more. If anyone is looking for a side, I do like the Rockies because of a possible let down spot for the ‘Stros after that series with Texas.

Pick: Under 9.5 (-120)

  • 3:00pm cst: New York Mets (-150) vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (+130)

Late scratch on Kodai Senga and Max Scherzer is replacing him. The Mets are laying (-150) against a struggling Zach Davies. I do not like backing pitchers coming in unscheduled like Scherzer especially at this price. I rather take the over.

Pick: Over 9 (-120)

  • 3:00pm cst: Chicago Cubs (-105) vs. Milwaukee Brewers (-115)

The Cubs are colder than a Chicago winter. This line makes absolutely zero sense with Wade Miley on the mound against Kyle Hendricks. Yes, Hendricks has been having a great season but he does terrible against the Brew Crew! Give me the Brewers and Miley at home on the 4th of July. This price is too cheap. Look for Jesse Winker, Yelich and Rowdy Tellez to have nice days at the plate.

Pick: Brewers (-115)

  • 3:00pm cst: Seattle Mariners (+100) vs. San Francisco Giants (-120)

Keaton Winn is making his 2nd career start after having an impressive debut. Seattle is on a three game winning streak with Logan Gilbert on the mound. I think this is a misprice and the Giants should be the underdogs in this game. I like Seattle and even money.

Pick: Mariners (+100)
