MLB Betting Tips – 08 September

MLB punter Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips and predictions for two Friday morning’s games. Get your bet slip ready and take advantage of his betting tips.

08 Sep 00:40 Tampa Bay Rays vs Seattle Mariners

The last series between these two was lovely for over-bettors because all three games had runs. Seattle’s games have been good to bet on the over, their games haven’t gone under since the 2nd of this month. Luis Castillo is starting and he allowed 5 runs in 5 innings in his last start. In Castillo’s last 6 games, the under has only come once. Seattle should get some runs and if they get the ball rolling, the Rays should follow suit bringing the over.

Suggested Bet: Over 7.5

08 Sep 01:40 Chicago Cubs vs Arizona Diamondbacks

This should be a nice series as both teams are still fighting as the playoffs get near but for game 1 I am going with the Cubs to win. The Cubs have only lost 2 games in their last 9 games, they have been playing amazing baseball. I can’t say the same for the Diamondbacks, they haven’t looked solid and lost 6 games in their last 9 games. When it comes to quality starts, the Cubs have 63 quality starts for the season, they are top 5 in that category. Take them for the win here.

Suggested Bet: Chicago Cubs ML
