The lack of Bryce Harper’s bat in the lineup is starting to rear it’s head for the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves have taken both games of the series and are out for the sweep Thursday at Citizens Bank Park! Get our Atl/Phi betting prediction here!
It’s tough to fathom the Minnesota Twins being up for Thursday’s game vs. the Guardians after blowing a three-run lead in extra innings, only to allow four in the bottom of the inning on an opposite field home runs by Josh Naylor.

Wednesday ends with a heck of a pitching matchup between hard throwing Michael Kopech of the Chicago White Sox and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have dropped two games in a row and may tank tonight as Julio Urias doesn’t have a very good history at Coors Field. He’ll be opposed by Rockies starter German Marquez, who has a poor 6.70 ERA at home this season. Balls could be flyin’ all over the place in Colorado tonight!
An excellent pitcher’s duel takes place at Citi Field today as the Houston Astros will send future Hall of Famer Jason Verlander to the mound to face tough righty Taijuan Walker. The Mets starter has a low 2.49 ERA at home, making him a formidable opponent for Houston. Get our Hou/NYM pick to win here!
The A’s have lost six of their last eight games in and those six losses, they’ve only scored ten runs, in which five of those came in one game! Throw that game out and the team is basically averaging one measly run per game! It won’t get any easier for them today, as they face tough right-hander Jameson Taillon. The Yankees won’t come cheap though! The betting line is NYY -180 at time of print! Get our Oak/NYY betting prediction here!
