The Skinny
Buy low on Trevor Bauer here. He’s allowed 21 runs in four starts in May but allowed just 13 runs in his first seven starts of the season. He’s usually a pitcher that warrants a price around -150 at the shortest. Take advantage of getting the Tribe with Bauer on the bump at close to even money . . . The Padres, a statistically below average offensive team through two months, scored 19 runs yesterday. They now face Marcus Stroman and his 2.81 ERA. Expect regression from San Diego . . . The Twins are clobbering baseballs left and right and have to slow down at some point right? Jake Odorizzi’s ERA of 2.38 so far this season is more than two full runs lower than it was last year and almost exactly a run and a half lower than his career ERA of 3.86. Minnesota’s for real, but going to look human on some days and at this price Chicago is worth a flier . . . The Under has hit in five of Julio Teheran’s last six starts for Atlanta but both the Braves and the Cardinals have middling bullpens and a four-run eighth inning for St. Louis yesterday pushed a total of 9 which looked like a surefire Under. It’s also been over a month since Jack Flaherty allowed more than three earned runs. Go under the first five with the expectation that both starting pitchers put up enough goose eggs.
