BALTIMORE RAVENS @ KANSAS CITY CHIEFS – 5:15PM:
The Ravens are in Kansas City tonight to take on the Chiefs in the season opening game for the NFL. Led by Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs have one of the most dynamic offenses in the league, and Mahomes has consistently performed at an elite level in key matchups like this. The Ravens have a solid defense, but Mahomes’ ability to spread the ball to his teammates gives Kansas City a distinct edge. Historically, the Chiefs have dominated this matchup with Mahomes at the helm. They are 4-1 against the Ravens including playoff games going back to 2018 when Mahomes is the Chiefs starting quarterback. With the homefield advantage and Mahomes’ knack for stepping up in big games, Kansas City is primed to start the season with a strong win.
The Pick: Kansas City Chiefs Moneyline
DETROIT TIGERS @ SAN DIEGO PADRES – 5:40PM:
The Tigers will play the Padres tonight in San Diego in the final matchup between these two teams this season. The Padres have already won the regular season series after winning the last 2 games at Petco Park yesterday and the day before. The Padres have a clear edge in this matchup, with starting pitcher Martín Pérez leading the charge. The Padres have won the last 8 games where Perez starts. Meanwhile, the Tigers’ Casey Mize has struggled with consistency this season, and Detroit’s hitting has been notably weak, ranking 6th in total strikeouts as a team over the last 30 days. The Padres’ disciplined lineup, which has struck out the least in that same span, gives them a major offensive advantage. With the Padres playing at home in Petco Park and their ability to capitalize on weaker pitching, this game presents a strong opportunity to back the Padres, who are simply the more reliable and in-form team.
The Pick: San Diego Padres Moneyline
