    Analysis

    Marlins pitcher Ryan Gusto limited the Braves to one run over six innings last time out. No team has hit worse over the last two weeks than the Angels, whose .587 OPS off right-handers in that span also ranks 30th. The Marlins’ bats scored seven runs on Saturday, breaking out of a five-game offensive slump. They can keep it going here vs. Grayson Rodriguez, who has a 7.44 ERA on the season, 7.24 in 11 day games.

    Analysis

    Caesar’s. Grayson Rodriguez was sharp in his last start, tossing seven innings in his return to Baltimore. But before that, the righty was under this line in all ten of his starts. Making a quick turnaround on four-days rest, I expect the oft-injured Rodriguez to struggle in Miami against the Marlins. Miami hits well at home (.781 OPS over the last month against righties), and can throw six lefties in the lineup today. Rodriguez allows a .960 OPS against that split.

    Picked: Aug 9 @ 1:07pm

    Analysis

    Moises Ballesterios was traded by the Cubs to the Angels, and has yet to make a true impact at the plate through five games. He is just 3 for 18, and had his worst performance since becoming an Angel in yesterday’s loss where he went 0 for 4. Value spot off the Angels being shutout yesterday, and seeing Ryan Gusto on the mound for the Marlins. Take his combination line over.

    Analysis

    The Mets were blanked on Saturday, but had scored six-plus runs in four straight prior, and overall are hitting well. No so for the Pirates, who are 3-9 in their last 12 and have scored five runs once in the last 11. Jared Jones isn’t going deep into games for Pittsburgh. For the Mets, San Manaea has gone six innings in three straight, all quality starts, and the bullpen has a 1.82 ERA the last two weeks. Tasty plus odds on the road side.

    Picked: Aug 9 @ 9:43am

    Analysis

    DraftKings. Jesus Luzardo is under this hits allowed line in 16/23 starts this season, including nine of his last ten. He’ll take his elite .228 average against and .208 xBA against the Blue Jays. Toronto is the worst team against lefties this season with a .216 average.
