30 Aug 00:40 Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Angels

The Angels have been hit hard with injuries this season and now they are currently sitting below 500. The Phillies have been a good team when playing at home as opposed to their away record, they have a 61% chance of winning when they play at home. The Phillies know that they can’t afford to lose games like these with the Cubs and Diamondbacks behind them on the standings while they have played more games. Home-ground advantage will work for them here.

Suggested Bet: Phillies ML

30 Aug 02:40 Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves

The difference in quality is what you have to look at here, the Braves outmatch the Rockies and wont sweat playing them this series. They proved it last night having a batting average of 0.419 and the same could repeat here, so the secondary bet could be betting on the over. Charlie Morton has been exceptional in his previous 3 starts, allowing zero runs. The Braves are the better team here and should win by 2 or more runs.

Suggested Bet: (Atlanta Braves ML/ -1.5 Atlanta Braves)

30 Aug 03:40 Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics

The Mariners will use this series as a chance to run away from the Rangers and Astros. This series will be a sweep and we got that from game 1 as Oakland couldn’t register a single run. Ken Waldichuk will be starting for Oakland here and this will be the second time he plays against the Mariners this season. Last time he played the Mariners he allowed 5 runs in 2.2 Innings pitched.

Suggested Bet: Seattle Mariners ML
