A 2-for-3 Tuesday included wins from Atlanta and the Rangers/Padres going over 9 runs. The lone loss was the Yankees at home to Tampa Bay.
Wednesday’s action starts early and goes all night. So let’s get to it.
Pitchers: Jake Arrieta vs. Kyle Hart
Odds: Phillies -145; Red Sox +125
Pitchers: Erick Fredde vs. Kyle Wright
Odds: Nats +110; Braves -130
Pitchers: Lance Lynn vs. Chris Paddack
Odds: Rangers even; Padres -120
Pitchers: Patrick Sandoval vs. Johnny Cueto
Odds: Angels -135; Giants +115
Single: Boston is bad, real bad. A loss Wednesday would make it 10 straight and rumors are spreading of trading away more good players. The Phillies can hit and that’s bad news for Sox rookie Kyle Hart. Take the Phillies.
Double: Johnny Cueto looks like the Cueto, who was an ace for the Reds and took the Royals to the World Series, this season. Look for another good effort from Johnny B. Good against an underachieving Angels team. Take the Giants.
Triple: Parlay the Braves over the Nats in the rubber game of that series with the Padres going home to face the crybaby Rangers.
Home Run: We’re going to with Atlanta’s Marcel Ozuna and the Dodgers’ Max Muncy.
