ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS VS. HOUSTON ASTROS – 5:10PM
The Diamondbacks take on the Astros in Houston today to kick off an important late season 3 game series. The Dbacks are coming off a 2-1 series victory against the Giants while the Astros just got swept 3-0 in their series against the Reds. Over the last 30 days, the Diamondbacks have led all of Major League Baseball in nearly every key offensive category, including batting average, OPS, and runs scored. This lineup is firing on all cylinders, consistently putting pressure on opposing pitchers. Despite going up against Framber Valdez, a strong arm for Houston, Arizona’s bats are more than capable of doing damage, especially with the Astros’ recent struggles and inconsistencies on offense. Combine that with the Diamondbacks’ momentum and their underrated value in this matchup, and this is a prime spot to take them on the moneyline. AI sees this game as more of a 50/50 split while the odds reflect the Dbacks having a less than 50% chance to win so there is value to capitalize on by betting on the Dbacks to win.
The Pick: Diamondbacks Moneyline
GREEN BAY PACKERS VS. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES – 5:15PM
After an incredible debut game for the NFL season last night we are getting spoiled again with a Friday night clash in Sao Paulo Brazil between the Eagles and the Packers. The Eagles bring a more complete roster into this matchup, with a high-powered offense led by Jalen Hurts and a deep receiving corps that’s proven difficult to contain. On the defensive side, Philadelphia’s pass rush, one of the best in the league, will be crucial in disrupting the Packers’ rhythm. The Eagles are the more proven commodity between these two teams and it makes sense in a week 1 matchup to take the security of backing the favorite as we saw how that worked out last night in the Chiefs and Ravens game.
The Pick: Philadelphia Eagles Moneyline
