Yesterday in my debut at the betting community on Scoru.com, we've got 2 pushes because of (-1) spread in both bets. OK, push is not a loss. Moving forward. We have to bets for today. And we're almost out of time for both of them:
Game 1 - 01.08.2017 - 1:05 PM ET - "Baltimore Orioles" @ "New York Yankees"
- Baltimore staring pitcher - Alex Cobb (2-14, 6.08 ERA)
- Cobb lost 5 straight and allowed 14 runs during his last 29 innings of play
- Orioles are 3-16 in last 19 Cobb starts
- Orioles batting is one of the worst in the majors - 29th place in batting average and 27th in runs scored
- New York starting pitcher - Sonny Gray (8-7, 5.08 ERA)
- Gray is on fire right now - he won 3 games in a row allowed just 2 runs over 16+ innings
- Yankees won 56 of 74 last home games
- Yankees won 4 of 5 last Gray's starts against Baltimore
- Yankees batting is very solid - 7th place in batting average and 3rd in runs scored
Game 2 - 01.08.2017 - 3:35 PM ET - "Toronto Blue Jays" @ "Oakland Athletics"
- Toronto starting pitcher - Marcus Stroman (4-7, 5.20 ERA)
- Stroman has won last 2 games, but it was games against Orioles and White Sox. In that games Stroman allowed 12 hits and 3 runs over 13+ innings
- Blue Jays has 2-14 record vs. left-handed pitchers
- Blue Jays lost 10 of last 14 games in Oakland
- Toronto batting is not so well this season - 25th in batting average and 18th in runs scored
- Oakland starting pitcher - left-handed Sean Manaea (9-7, 3.46 ERA)
- Manaea has won 7 of his last 9 starts never allowed more than 3 runs per game. He allowed 3 runs just 3 times during that stretch.
- Athletics won 4 home games in a row with Manaea as a starter
- Oakland batting is pretty good - 13th in batting average and 6th in runs scored
- Oakland just 1 game behind Seattle in a battle for Wild Card.
According to all points mentioned above, I bet on Yankees and Athletics:
Bet (express): Yankees win and cover the spread (-1) (1,51) + Athletics win (1,735)
Odd: 2.61985
Bet amount: 5% of bankroll
---------------------------------------------------
Game 3 - 01.08.2017 - 1:10 PM ET - "Cleveland Indians" @ "Minnesota Twins"
- Cleveland starting pitcher - Carlos Carrasco (12-5, 3.89 ERA)
- Carrasco is perfect in recent games - he has 4 wins in a row and allowed just 9 runs during 22+ inngins
- In that 4 games Indians batting was more than perfect - they scored 53 (!!!) runs!
- Indians won 37 of last 53 Carrasco's starts.
- Cleveland batting is one of the best this season - 3rd in batting average and 2nd in run scored
- Minnesota starting pitcher - Adelberto Mejia (1-0, 3.65)
- He started twice this season and allowed 14 hits, 5 runs and 5 walks through 9+ innings
- Twins are good at home - 11-2 in last 13 games
- It was OVER in last 5 Carrasco's games
- It was OVER on 5 of last 7 home Twins' games
I think it will be a high scoring game and Carrasco will lead his team to a victory.
Bet: Cleveland win and Over (7,5)
Odd: 2,24
Bet amount: 5% of bankroll
