SAN DIEGO PADRES @ PITTSBURGH PIRATES – 3:41PM
The Padres take on the Pirates at home today in their first regular season matchup that will have big implications on the National League Wild Card race. The Padres come into this series playing better than anyone else with the best record in the MLB since the All Star break at 11-3. They are currently tied with the Diamondbacks for the final two wild card spots with the Pirates right on their heels just four games back. The Padres have Dylan Cease on the mound tonight who is one of the hottest pitchers in baseball coming off the no hitter outing against the Nationals a couple weeks ago. They have won 6 out of their last 8 games when Cease starts for them. Meanwhile the Pirates will be starting Baily Falter and they have lost 6 out of the last 8 games he has started for them. With the Padres playing so well and having the upper hand with the pitching matchup in this game you can count on them to win again tonight.
The pick: Padres Moneyline
CHICAGO WHITE SOX @ OAKLAND ATHLETICS – 6:40PM
The White Sox take on the A’s again for game 2 of their series in Oakland. The White Sox are now on a 21 game losing streak after their loss last night which is tied for an American League record and they have a chance to break the record if they lose again. For as long as this losing streak continues you should be looking to capitalize on a White Sox loss with your bets. Regardless of if their losing streak continues or not betting on the White Sox to lose in any road games they play is also a good betting strategy (there’s 23 remaining on their schedule including tonight’s game). With all that being said you can count on another Athletics win tonight.
The pick: Athletics Moneyline
