I'm at the point where no bet against Miles Mikolas is a bad bet. The right-hander is 0-2 on the season with a 5.70 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. He's not striking out very many batters as he's got just three K's over his last 10.2 innings to go along with four free passes. The Reds are a team trending in the right direction and have plated 3, 8, 6, 8, and 5 runs across their last five games, all wins. They should do enough offensively to help Brady Singer improve to 5-0 on the season.

The New York Yankees were home run happy on Tuesday in a 15-3 win. While I'm not expecting another six home runs, they should keep the hot bats rolling vs. Cade Povich and his 5.04 ERA. Povic has had major issues with the long ball, giving up four across his last three starts, and those came against teams without the same power the Yankees possess. I believe the Yankees will outscore the pitching woes of Carlos Carrasco and pick up their second straight win.

Until the Toronto Blue Jays can show me they can consistently score runs, I'll continue to fade them. This is an offense that ranks among the worst in power numbers and team average, and one that is bottom half in team ERA. The Red Sox are swinging a hot bat, plating 30 runs across their last three games, and should have no issues making plenty of contact vs. Jose Berrios.
