August 10th bets

Red Sox ML(-157) 1 unit

  • Tonight, Boston definitely has the advantage based on starting pitchers, and they have been playing very well recently, having their best month in franchise history with a .840 win percentage. The price is a little high, but I still think they are the better side tonight. Sonny Gray comes in at 14-2 with a 2.78 ERA, which gives me a lot of confidence in Boston tonight.

Brewers ML (-121) 1 unit

  • Milwaukee has been one of the better teams in baseball and I like their pitching matchup tonight. At close to even money, I think there is really good value here. Logan Henderson has a 2.70 ERA this season, and Milwaukee’s pitching staff has been one of the best in baseball.

Braves ML (-140) 1 unit

  • I like Atlanta’s offense to be themselves in this game tonight and think they have the better overall team. -140 is a fair enough price for me to back the Braves. The Mets have the advantage in the starting pitching matchup, but I trust Atlanta’s lineup more, especially at home.

Rays ML (-154) 1 unit

  • Tampa has starting turning the heat back on and im all here for it. This pitching matchup is not the most ideal, but I still like Tampa to win. I can see the over as well in this game, but after their sweep over Seattle, I’m sticking with the money line for tonight. 

Parley - Rays ML, Skubal 6+ strikeouts, Dodgers ML, Shohei 1+ hits, and under 9.5 Dodgers runs (+432) 1.5 units

  • I really like this parley for today. Rays are one of my favorite straight bets, same with dodgers but there is no value in these alone. I added a few toss around legs that are very likely to hit to boost the overall value of my bet. 

Parlay Red Sox ML, Brewers ML, Braves ML (+412) .5 unit

  • These are three teams I liked individually the most, so I’m putting them together for a smaller half-unit play. +412 gives a solid amount of profit without risking too much on the parlay. Boston and Milwaukee are two of my strongest plays of the night, so adding Atlanta gives me a chance at a much better payout without increasing the risk too much.
