MLB Units for August (+0.75 units)
Early Slate
5:40PM CST: Kansas City Royals (+100) vs. Detroit Tigers (-120); Total 7
The Royals are still hot and the Tigers are slumping having lost four games in a row. Tigers do a decent job against LHP but Cole Ragans has been great against Detroit. I’m fading the Tigers again even though Tarik Skubal is on the mound.
Play: Royals (+100) [via DraftKings]
5:40PM CST: Arizona Diamondbacks (-130) vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (+110); Total 8.5
I did not think the Diamondbacks were going to be favored in this matchup. Luis Ortiz not getting enough respect. I am not a fan of D-Backs RHP Brandon Pfaadt. Arizona is hot but the price is right with the Buccos.
Play: Pirates (+110) [via DraftKings]
Evening Slate
6:00PM CST: Toronto Blue Jays (+145) vs. New York Yankees (-175); Total 9
The Yankees are red hot right now. Marcus Stroman has been solid against the Blue Jays recently. Gausman has been the complete opposite vs. NY.
Play: Yankees -1.5 (+120) [via DraftKings]
6:00PM CST: Baltimore Orioles (-112) vs. Cleveland Guardians (-108); Total 9
This is a number I do not understand. Dean Kremer favored over Carlos Carrasco? Why? Kremer has been blasted by this Tribe offense. Let’s keep buying on the Guardians at home who continue to be undervalued.
Play: Guardians (-108) [via DraftKings]
6:00PM CST: San Francisco Giants (-135) vs. Cincinnati Reds (+114); Total 8.5
Here is another price that puzzles me. Andrew Abbott has been great against the Giants and SF is terrible against LHP. I’m buying this price on Cinci.
Play: Reds (+114) [via DraftKings]
Night Slate
8:40PM CST: Los Angeles Dodgers (-148) vs. Oakland A’s (+124); Total 8.5
Oaklands SP Joey Estes isn’t too bad. The Dodgers have gone a little cold here recently. A’s are sneaky at home. This is our dirty dog of the night.
Play: Oakland (+124) [via DraftKings]
8:40PM CST: Philadelphia Phillies (-105) vs. Seattle Mariners (-115); Total 8
The Phillies are another team that is hitting a cold streak, dealing with injuries as well. The Mariners are starting to turn things back up especially after making some moves. I like the Mariners SP Bryan Woo. Taking the home team.
Play: Mariners (-115) [via DraftKings]
8:40PM CST: Colorado Rockies (+160) vs. San Diego Padres (-192); Total 8
With both Austin Gomber on the mound and Randy Vasquez, I will gladly be taking the over in this game.
Play: OVER 8 (-112) [via DraftKings]
