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:

Sean Manaea and Sonny Gray

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

Carlos Carrasco

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
