With an ERA of around five for the past couple months, Luis Garcia looks like he’s run out of gas. Conversely, Shohei Ohtani has looked excellent since the beginning of August, with a 2.20 ERA. Get our Hou/LAA bet recommendation before placing your wager!
Marlins starter Edward Cabrera has been downright filthy at times this season, however, he’s faltered when pitching against good teams. Can get it together vs. the mighty Atlanta Braves Saturday? Get our Mia/Atl prediction here!
With a road ERA of 4.93 and a daytime ERA of 7.94, there’s not much to like about Noah Syndergaard pitching at Oracle Park Saturday afternoon. Get our Phi/SF pick here!
Would you believe that Drew Smyly had a 0.90 ERA in August, allowing only three earned runs over thirty innings? He’ll face grizzled vet Adam Wainright who had a 2.50 over the month of August. Runs could be at a premium Saturday at Busch Stadium!
With Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt getting beat up by a weak Oakland A’s team in his last start, and the Rays throwing Corey Kluber, who has pitched excellent vs. the men in pinstripes (1.50 ERA in 18 innings), Tampa Bay looks like a nice value bet at -130.

A full slate of MLB action returns Friday, starting with the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Pittsburgh Pirates at 6:35PM ET. It’ll be Alek Manoah who appears to be back on track with a couple excellent starts in a row against Johan Oviedo, a key piece of the Jose Quintana trade, who has a big arm, but is lacks command of the strike zone. Get our Tor/Pit prediction here!
Friday ends with a killer pitching matchup between Padres starter Yu Darvish and Dodgers righty Dustin May. Get our SD/LAD bet recommendation before placing your wager!
Cardinals pitcher Jordan Montgomery had only allowed one run or less in four games in a row before getting beat up by the Braves in his last start. Will the lefty bounce back Friday against the Cubbies? Get our Chi/Stl pick here!
After blowing a FAT 8-3 lead last night, the Rangers will likely be flat on Friday as negative emotions are typical in this scenario. Read our Tex/Bos preview and see how we’re betting the game here!
We wouldn’t normally feature an Oakland A’s vs. Baltimore Orioles game, however, this game presents one of the better wagering opportunites on Friday’s card as both JP Sears and Dean Kremer are pitching excellent.
