Tuesday's MLB Matchups: Key Pitching Duels & Betting Odds
Transcript
00:00All right, here we go.
00:04Tonight's baseball.
00:05The Nationals and the Orioles will start things off.
00:08Of course, the Beltway series, Jake Irvin and Trevor Rodgers are going to go tonight.
00:14Orioles minus a buck 85, Nats plus 150 and a flat nine big total.
00:20So they went out and got Rodgers at the deadline and it's about time this guy does something,
00:25right?
00:26They're going to go out tonight at Camden and sit down this average Nats team.
00:32And I like them on a run line, laying it a run and a half at plus 115.
00:37Yeah, I like it as well.
00:39The Cubbies and the Guardians get together in Cleveland again tonight.
00:43Javier Assad goes for the Cubs.
00:45Matthew Boyd is going to make his first start, first appearance, we should say, for Cleveland.
00:53Of course, he was on Detroit last year.
00:55This is the first time Boyd has been in the mix.
00:58Right now, the Cubs plus 130, Guardians minus a buck 55 at home and an eight and a half.
01:05How in God's name are they favored by that much juice with a guy that hasn't pitched
01:10in a year?
01:11I'll take Assad and the Cubs at plus 130.
01:15Yeah, I'm with you.
01:17I know they took a while for them to announce who was going to pitch today and now that's
01:20going to be Boyd.
01:21It does change some things, that's for sure.
01:24The Fish head to Philadelphia.
01:27Marlins and the Phillies will be down there.
01:29Tyjuan Walker for Philly.
01:31It'll be Valente Belazo for the Fish.
01:34Right now, Phillies heavy lumber minus 200 plus a buck 65 for Miami and a flat nine.
01:41I just take Walker and the Phillies on the run line here.
01:44It's minus 110.
01:45I think they'll kill them.
01:49Mariners and the Tigers start us here.
01:50They played in Seattle last week, Scotty, and I think we, I believe we had this same
01:55pitching matchup, Kirby's Dreamland against Tariq Scouble.
01:59So we run that back again, this time in Detroit where we have the Tigers minus 115, Mariners
02:06minus 105 and a flat seven.
02:10I bet on Scouble at Seattle, anyone.
02:13I'm going to bet on Scouble again here tonight at Comerica in Detroit.
02:18So I like him.
02:20He's just been unbelievable.
02:21He's going to win the Cy Young.
02:23A lot of gas cans tonight.
02:25That game is not one of them.
02:26The Seattle Detroit game.
02:28That is not a game that will be going after anybody to hit some long balls.
02:32The Cardinals and the Reds in Cincinnati.
02:35Eric Fetty and Hunter Green will go tonight in that one.
02:41Minus 135 for the Reds, plus a buck 15 for the Cardinals and an eight and a half.
02:46I think this is easy with Green.
02:47He's really come into form.
02:50He's pitching great.
02:51His ERA is 2-9.
02:52He's eight and four now.
02:54I bet the Reds this morning on the money line and then, you know, I'd be willing not only
03:02on the money line to do it, but I'd be willing to do the run line as well at plus a buck
03:07and a half.
03:08I think Green will have him eating out of his palm.
03:13Astros and the Rays.
03:14You were just talking to Sean about the Astros.
03:15They, of course, will have Kikuchi on the mound tonight.
03:20Shane Boz goes for Tampa.
03:22Minus 125 for the Astros on the road.
03:25Plus 105 for the Rays and a seven and a half.
03:29I mean, they stomped them last night, 6-1.
03:31They're going to do it again.
03:33I like them on the run line at plus 130.
03:35I like Kikuchi to win the game.
03:37I like them to win their seventh straight.
03:41And I do like the kid coming up for the Rays to hit a home run.
03:46Why not?
03:47But Kikuchi's been pretty good.
03:48You heard Sean Pendergast talk about two straight good starts.
03:51He'll make it three tonight at the Trop.
03:55The A's are going to be at Citi Field.
03:57The Mets, of course, home after that very long four-city road trip, which they sputtered
04:02to the end after getting smashed in Seattle.
04:04They'll stay against an AL West team, this time the A's, where Paul Blackburn, our boy
04:10Blackburn the Pirate, who, of course, was on the A's a couple of weeks ago, now faces
04:15his former team.
04:16I've seen differing reports on the Oakland starter, Scotty.
04:21I know it was supposed to be Stripling.
04:22I'm now seeing Boyle on a couple of the books as he's going to be going.
04:26But either way, minus 190 for the Mets, plus $1.55 for the A's, and an 8.5.
04:31Well, I think it's Boyle that's going, and he's awful.
04:35His ERA is over 7.
04:37He gets torched.
04:38I like the over 8.5 automatic.
04:41I like the Mets and Blackburn the Pirate on the run line at plus $1.05.
04:48Rangers and the Red Sox played a good one last night at Fenway.
04:51Tonight, Jose Urena and Cutter Crawford will be the starters.
04:56As of right now, Red Sox minus $1.45, plus $1.20 for the Rangers, and a big 10-piece
05:03for the total.
05:05Can I get a little Rangers on the road tonight at Fenway at plus $1.22?
05:09Why not?
05:10Both guys that struggle at times with their stuff and control, to be honest with you.
05:17Both of them have losing records.
05:19Anything's possible here.
05:20I'll take the Texas Bats tonight in Boston.
05:24The – we'll squeeze one more in here.
05:26Royals and the Twins in Minnesota.
05:28Seth Lugo goes for the Royals.
05:30Zebby Matthews going to make his Major League debut for Minnesota, it looks like.
05:35They're minus $1.30, plus $1.10 for Kansas City, and an 8.5.
05:39I love Lugo here in the Royals at plus $1.10, plus money with him.
05:44He's 13-6 with a 2-7 ERA against some rookie.
05:49Give me a Lugo and the Royals tonight at Target.
05:52Dodgers and the Brewers in Milwaukee.
05:54Gavin Stone and Colin Rea is the pitching matchup tonight.
05:58Minus $1.20 for the Dodgers, even money for the Brew Crew, and a flat $9.00.
06:04I mean, this is a great pitching matchup when you think about it.
06:08Both of them are phenomenal, but the way the Dodgers won last night having bets back,
06:13they look invigorated.
06:14I'll take them again at minus $1.20.
06:18We've talked a lot about the Yankees today.
06:20They are still in Chicago against the White Sox.
06:22It will be not-so-nasty Nestor Cortez against Jonathan Cannon going for the White Sox tonight.
06:31Yankees minus three bills, plus $2.40 for Chicago and a 9.5.
06:38I'm doing what you're doing.
06:39Plus $2.40, White Sox, Cannon, and the over $9.00.
06:44I like that at minus $1.25 as well.
06:48Both of these guys, I think, get lit up tonight.
06:53I could definitely, over smells good too in this one.
06:56Over definitely smells good.
06:57Blue Jays and the Angels out in Anaheim.
07:00Kevin Gossman and Carson Fulmer are the starters.
07:04Minus $1.20 for the Jays, even money for the Angels and a flat $9.00 as well.
07:08Yeah, I like Gossman here in the Jays, and believe it or not, I like the under.
07:13I don't think the Angels are going to do anything against Gossman.
07:18Ooh, how about that?
07:19We will have Austin Gomber and the great Eduardo Rodriguez tonight in Arizona.
07:25The Rockies and the Snakes getting together again.
07:28Minus $2.10 for Arizona, plus $1.70 for Colorado, and an 8.5.
07:33Again, over here, over the 8.5.
07:36And I'm going diamondbacks every night until further notice.
07:40All they do is win.
07:42Pirates, of course, eight game losing streak into Petco tonight.
07:47Louie Ortiz and Michael King, the pitching matchup.
07:50Minus $2.50 for the Friars, plus $200 for the Buccos and a flat $8.00.
07:56I bet it this morning on the run line with the Padres, as simple as that.
08:00The Pirates are a disaster right now, and the Padres are winning every night
08:05like the diamondbacks.
08:06They both just keep winning.
08:07So I'm going to ride both of them until further notice.
08:13I don't blame you, that's for sure.
08:15They win every single night.
08:17Braves and the Giants, finally, in San Francisco.
08:20Of course, they played that great 1-0 game last night.
08:23The Fisherman, Charlie Morton, who's been banged around his last few times
08:28out, against Kyle Harrison.
08:30Minus $1.15 for the Braves, minus $1.05 for the Giants, and a flat $8.00.
08:36Give me George Harrison and the Giants, a.k.a.
08:40the Beatles.
08:42At that, pick them bright.
08:44I like San Francisco tonight to get even in that series.
