01 Aug 02:10 Houston Astros vs Cleveland Guardians

The Guardians are below 500 when playing away from home and with Noah Syndergaard starting, I have no reason to back them, even as underdogs. Noah is his last 5 games is currently 1-4 and has lost all his last 4 games starting, he has an ERA of 7.16 with WHIP of 1.45 .The Astros are sending Jonathan France to the mound and he is having a much better season compared to Noah. He was undefeated the whole of July, back him to start August in fine style.

Suggested Bet: Houston Astros ML

01 Aug 02:40 Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres

Coors field is known for their runs and that is what I’m going with here. This game has the highest line out of all the games and Im taking the over. The Padres are a top 3 team when it comes to quality starts, they will get 3 runs before the fifth inning, the Padres are currently averaging 5 runs per game and will be up against a pitcher who’s ERA is 5.83. For the over to come the Rockies also have to get runs and this will depend on how well Seth Lugo perfoms and he had an ERA of 3.70 in July. Your secondary bet for this game would be to not complicate it and bet on the Padres moneyline.

Suggested Bet: Over 9

01 Aug 03:40 Seattle Mariners vs Boston Red Sox

The line for this game is pretty low and I see runs here. After the all star break both teams have been doing well offensively and because of the pitching matchup this game is predicted to have few runs. George Kirby will start for the Mariners and in the month of July he had an ERA of 4.25. Now Nick Pivetta is the better pitcher here but the Mariners have the better bullpen and will use that home advantage. The last 10 matchups between the two teams only one game went under. Take the runs here

Suggested Bet: Over 6.5
