MLB Bets: (08/28/2023)
The final month of MLB Baseball is upon us. This is where the teams who need it most, well, they need it most.
Wildcard and division races tightening up as each day goes by. Let’s dive into today’s slate of bets I will be riding, looking to turn me luck around.
The Red Beard: MLB Bets
First Bet: Fade Giolito
The Angels will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies today, and will be putting Lucas Giolito on the mound.
He will be going up against Taijuan Walker, who has had an under the radar great season for the Phillies. A Phillies team who is hot at the moment winning their last three and looking to keeping the ball rolling.
Being led by Bryce Harper, who some could argue for the MVP, is hitting over .300 for the season.
Give me the hot Phillies over a struggling Angels of Anaheim. (Phillies -1.5 +135)
Second Bet: O’s vs White Sox
The Chicago White Sox have been a lot of things this season, winning isn’t one of them. While the O’s have been the best feel good story in baseball most of the season, the White Sox have been the opposite.
Betting against the White Sox has been a profitable move this season, even for the lamest of bettors. So why complicate things?
Give me the O’s at home against a horrendous White Sox team. (Orioles -1.5 -115)
Third Bet: Young vs Old
Zack Grienke is starting tonight for the Royals of Kansas City. They will be taking on the Pirates of Pittsburgh with a young stud on the mound, Johan Oviedo.
This is the kind of game, we in the business call a toss up. A game where either team could win and nobody would be surprised either way. The tell tell sign of a toss up game is both teams being dam near even on the money line.
Which excites someone like me, Give me the Pirates because I simply think they are better. Out of 10 games between these two, I would take the Pirates to win 6. (Pirates ML -115)
MLB Bets:
Fourth Bet: The First Place Mariners
Seattle has taken the throne of the AL West and stand alone as the first place team in that division. Strictly due to them being the best team in the entire league throughout the month of August.
Just so happens that this coincides with Seattle taking on the worse team in baseball, yes, the A’s of Oakland.
Give me the Mariners to continue their hot stretch in August. (Mariners -1.5 -120)
Fifth Bet: Red Hot Red Legs
The Giants have been struggling for the last month, well so have the Reds. Call me crazy this Monday morning, yet this is the second toss up game I am feeling.
Even on the money line, which means anything can happen, well to be honest no matter the odds, I have been around baseball long enough to know anything can happen no matter what.
Yet this game intrigues me due to the Reds having a young stud on the mound, and coming off of a series win against a good, and also hot team in the Diamondbacks.
Give me the Reds on the money line at even money. (Reds ML EVEN)
MLB Bets: Recap
Phillies -1.5 +135
Orioles -1.5 -115
Pirates ML -115
Mariners -1.5 -120
Reds ML EVEN
