I won't play a lot of Sundays. Too many weird things happen, lots of AAA line ups, usually playing golf, etc. But I'll dabble today.
Phillies/Braves Over 8 -110
Chris Sale is great, no doubt about it. Aaron Nola is not. And he hasn't been since '24. The Braves may get to this number on their own so if you're into playing team totals, that's probably a good one to be on. It looks like both line ups will consist of the bangers, and the wind will be blowing out to right, on a perfect baseball day in Atlanta. It wouldn't shock me if Sale has a bad day. He's "due", and weird shit happens on Sundays in baseball.
Boston Red Sox +120
Bradish has a great line from his last start, but it was vs the Royals so it holds little merit with me. Early has been more than serviceable so far this year, he just needs to limit the walks. The Sox broke out for 17 runs on 17 hits yesterday, so I'll ride the hot bats, with the better starter, as a dog.
Colorado Rockies +205 (Game 1)
I love taking dogs in the first game of a double header. The Mets aren't hitting lefties still, and while they got Soto back, now Lindor is on the shelf. Quintana has been what you'd expect from the journeyman, this late in his career, but he's still around cause he knows how to get outs with subpar stuff. McLean has been great, but getting no run support at all. Jacob DeGromm had a whole season like that, and I fear McLean may be having one of them too. We can't forget, just cause they are playing the Rockies, that the Mets just lost 11 games in a row. This team is FARRRR from being good. The Rockies have a top ten OPS as a team vs RHP, and the wind will be blowing straight in from center, so a low scoring game keeps the dog in it. Certainly worth the gamble at 2:1.
Pirates/Brewers Under 7.5 -112
The Pirates are sitting a couple of their big bats. No Cruz, Lowe, or Davis. The Brewers have been dealing with a patch work line up for a week or so now themselves. The first game of the series got to 6, and while yesterdays game went over, it was under at the end of 9 (ruined my sweep too), and I expect something similar in the finale. Mlodzinski has been very good, despite his last outting, and so has Harrison. The Pirates bullpen has been outstanding and the Crew always has an above average one.
Yankees/Astros Over 9.5 -110
I don't know what the number would be for me to take the under in this game, but it's not 10.
Mariners/Cardinals Over 8.5 -110
Perfect weather for baseball today here, much like yesterday, when we say these two combine for 20 runs on 33 hits. Both line ups are full, and both bullpens were exhausted in yesterdays marathon. Especially the Cards, who threw all three of their reliable arms, so I'd imagine none of them are available today. I'm playing the over of 13.5 @ +500 too.
Sacramento Athletics -102
In a coin flip, I will take the A's bats, and their starter, every time in this match up. The rubber game, and Texas used a lot of arms yesterday. Rocker has been better than I expected him to be, but I'm still kinda waiting for the other shoe to fall, and we see the same guy we saw last year. Maybe he's turned that corner, but Ginn is good enough to hold off the limited Rangers offense.
only wrong thing is davis and big bat in the same sentence
