MLB Thursday: Albert’s Quick Pitch Picks - Athletics v Orioles, Dodgers v Cardinals, Marlins v Reds, and Mariners v Royals

Favorite Pick of the Day:
Athletics (-161) over ORIOLES

Low-Risk, High Reward
CARDINALS (+120) over Dodgers

Under of the Day:
Marlins vs REDS UNDER (8.5)

If You Must:
Mariners (-135) over ROYALS

The Skinny:
The Athletics are 5-0 in their last five during Game 4 of a series, as well as 4-1 in their last five when their opponent allows five runs or more in their previous game. Meanwhile, the Orioles are 0-7 in Dylan Bundy’s last seven starts on four days rest . . . The Cardinals have won four straight, but are underdogs yet again with the Dodgers in town. Michael Wacha will have to out-duel Walker Buehler, but the Cardinals are rolling . . . The trends for the Marlins v Reds game are almost all in the same direction: under. Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings between the two teams, under is 6-0 in Reds last six Thursday games and Under is 8-1-2 in Marlins last 11 vs. the National League Central . . . The Mariners have surprisingly been the best team in baseball thus far and with Mike Leake on the mound Thursday, they could continue that hot start. The Mariners are 15-2 in Leake’s last 17 starts when their opponent scores five runs or more in their previous game, as the Royals did last night in a 6-5 Seattle win.
