Record: 6-0
Net Units: +3.89u

Last Picks: Mariners ML -130, Phillies ML -176, and Brewers ML -154 all cashed yesterday.

Atlanta Braves @ Chicago White Sox
Pick: Atlanta Braves ML (-152), 1u to win +0.66u

• Pitching: Atlanta has the cleaner starter setup with Grant Holmes over Erick Fedde. Holmes has the better ERA, stronger K profile, and Fedde has been hit hard by this Atlanta core historically.

• Relievers: Both pens are fresh, but Atlanta has the quality edge with a 3.19 bullpen ERA vs Chicago’s 4.38. If this gets to the late innings, that favors the Braves.

• Weather: Guaranteed Rate looks neutral at 76.4°F with light wind and no rain. Slight hitter-friendly park, but no major weather boost.

• Hitting: Atlanta’s lineup is much deeper with Acuña, Olson, Albies, and Riley active. Chicago is missing Murakami and Hays, which leaves the lineup thin.

Chicago Cubs @ Colorado Rockies
Pick: Chicago Cubs ML (-154), 1u to win +0.65u

• Pitching: Colin Rea’s surface ERA is worse than Sugano’s, but the underlying contact profile favors Rea. Sugano’s 0.414 xwOBA allowed is a major red flag at Coors.

• Relievers: Cubs have the better bullpen by a wide margin, 4.29 ERA vs Colorado’s 5.60. At Coors, bullpen quality matters because starters rarely control the full game.

• Weather: Coors is always the scoring environment. Weather is calm, but the 1.38x park factor still creates offensive upside.

• Hitting: Cubs have the better team profile, while Colorado is missing Kris Bryant and Mickey Moniak. The Rockies’ lineup has less margin if Sugano gets hit early.

Houston Astros @ Los Angeles Angels
Pick: Houston Astros ML (+104), 1u to win +1.04u

• Pitching: This is closer than the other two. Walbert Ureña has the better xwOBA profile for the Angels, but Kai-Wei Teng has strong command with a 1.17 WHIP and keeps Houston live.

• Relievers: Both bullpens are fairly close, but the Angels have been more heavily used recently. Houston’s late-inning group is not perfect, but the Angels’ bullpen load is a small concern.

• Weather: Angel Stadium is neutral with cool 63.6°F conditions and light wind. Slight run suppression, no major weather edge.

• Hitting: This is the main reason for Houston. The Angels lineup is heavily depleted with multiple recent IL hits, while Houston still has the better offensive depth.

Plays: Braves ML -152, Cubs ML -154, Astros ML +104
