Latest MLB Predictions

Each of these teams lead their division, but neither team is over .500 so far in the month of July. With both teams struggling offensively, I’m projecting a low scoring game in Philadelphia. Ben Lively and Cristopher Sanchez have allowed more than 3 earned runs a combined 5 times in their 36 starts this season and each teams’ bullpen ranks 1st and 2nd in xFIP.

Grayson Rodriguez was sharp in his first start following the all-star break, and should pitch well at home against an aggressive Padres lineup. Adam Mazur has been struggling with 3 or more earned runs allowed in 6 of his last 7 starts and that could be troublesome against a Baltimore lineup capable of attacking his worst split with several lethal left-handed bats.

Nestor Cortes has been abysmal on the road this year with an ERA over 6 in 10 road starts, and has struggled mightily in the month of July. His counterpart Brayan Bello has put out 3 quality starts in 4 outings so far in July. I like the Red Sox here to get the job done against the struggling Yanks.

With strong pitchers Gavin Stone and Framber Valdez on the mound, the under 8.5 runs looks promising. Both teams boast top-10 ERAs, setting the stage for a low-scoring affair. Bet the under at -120, playable to -125.

Why is Toronto favored? Texas hits lefties better than Toronto. Toronto has the 2nd worst bullpen in baseball. Kikuchi is struggling lately, and he rarely gets through 6 innings. Heaney has been fine. Texas is hot, Toronto is threatening to sell. I don’t get it. Hammer Texas.

The Mets are on a tear as of late, and the Braves continue to slide down in the NL East standings.  The Braves have been plagued by injuries, and the big question mark for the Mets tonight is how will Senga pitch in his season debut as he recovers from a shoulder injury.  Senga struggled in his rehab starts, but I think he’ll be able to limit the number of runs the Braves score and the Mets will get the win this evening.

This Cubs team has fallen off the face of the earth since the All-Star break and it’s way too difficult to trust them in this matchup, even with their Ace on the mound.  The Cubs are averaging less than 2 runs per game in their last 6 starts, while the Royals are averaging almost 6. The Cubs are the weaker team, and I think the Royals will score enough to win this game.
