09 Aug 01:05 Pittsburgh Pirates vs Atlanta Braves

Since the all-star break the Braves have not looked like themselves and their defense has been a problem. The Braves now have an ERA of 4.89 while the Pirates are 5.04. Even though the Braves are worsened defensively they are still hot offensively. The Braves average 6 runs per game, there is a reason the overline is high for this game. The over was the bet in the surprise loss last night for them, take it here too.

Suggested Bet: Over 8

09 Aug 01:10 New York Mets vs Chicago Cubs

The Mets are going with Carlos Carrasco for this game and had a dismal month of July and started this month on an ugly note. Carlos had an ERA of 7.79 during July and in his last game against the Royals, he allowed 6 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings pitched. Carlos pitched against the Cubs earlier this season in a game they won 10-1, give me the team having the better season to win game 2 here.

Suggested Bet: Chicago Cubs ML

09 Aug 03:40 Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers

I’m riding the Texas wave right now, just like I said last night this team has gotten their groove back and will be on a win streak. Jp Sears is going to the mound for the Athletics and hes allowing 3.5 runs against the Rangers this season. Max Scherzer has a similar season ERA but the difference he plays for a much better team. Give me Texas to win here again.

Suggested Bet: Texas Rangers ML
