Record: 6-3
Net Units: +0.89u

Last Picks: Braves ML -152, Cubs ML -154, and Astros ML -120 all lost.

Los Angeles Dodgers @ Chicago White Sox
Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers ML (-152), 1u to win +0.66u

• Pitching: Dodgers get the starter edge with Roki Sasaki over Anthony Kay. Sasaki’s recent form and 0.322 xwOBA allowed are clearly stronger than Kay’s 0.372 xwOBA profile.

• Relievers: This is the main concern. Dodgers used 6 relievers yesterday, while Chicago used none. The LAD bullpen is better overall, but the freshness edge is with the White Sox.

• Weather: Guaranteed Rate looks neutral at 65°F with light wind and no rain. No major weather adjustment.

• Hitting: Dodgers still have the better season-long team profile, but Ohtani’s status and Will Smith being out cap confidence a bit.

Philadelphia Phillies @ Milwaukee Brewers
Pick: Milwaukee Brewers ML (-245), 1u to win +0.41u

• Pitching: Milwaukee has the biggest starter edge on the card. Jacob Misiorowski has been elite with a 1.50 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and 0.238 xwOBA allowed, while Andrew Painter has struggled with a 6.21 ERA and 0.342 xwOBA allowed.

• Relievers: Brewers also have the cleaner bullpen setup with a 3.47 ERA vs Philadelphia’s 4.01. Philly has more recent bullpen usage, including Jhoan Duran flagged high usage.

• Weather: Dome game, so weather is removed from the handicap.

• Hitting: Milwaukee has the better full team profile with a +103 run differential. Philadelphia may also be without Adolis García, which thins the lineup further.

Colorado Rockies @ Athletics
Pick: Athletics ML (-200), 1u to win +0.50u

• Pitching: Athletics get the starter edge with Gage Jump against a Colorado TBD. Jump has a 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 0.294 xwOBA allowed.

• Relievers: Athletics has the fresher bullpen. Colorado used 3 relievers yesterday and 8 over the last 2 days, while the Athletics used none yesterday.

• Weather: N/A

• Hitting: Colorado’s roster is depleted with multiple regulars out, and the Rockies are also dealing with travel plus a shaky pitching setup.

I might be missing something but you actually bet -245 lines?  You may win 5 of them and then 1 loss puts you back in the negative.

You get what you pay for usually. 

And no, not sure where you get 1 loss wipes out 5 wins. If you lose 1 out of 3 you’re only down half a unit if you bet them all equally.
