Blue Jays vs. Red Sox
Marco Estrada is toeing the rubber for Toroto today. Riding a 5.23 era and sub .500 record (7-8), Marco Estrada will be making his first start against the Red Sox this season. At first glance the ERA is a tad scary, but Estrada owns a 1.74 ERA through his last two starts and 1.59 WHIP over the last five. This is coming off of a 10-hit 6-run game over just 5 innings against the Orioles to close out the month.
Boston will counter with Eduardo Rodriguez, a right-hander who has an extremely negative split against lefties. With rosters expanded, I?m looking for Toronto to be able to load their lineup with lefties, or switch hitters, and take advantage of this .313 BAA against that side of the plate. Rodriguez has also struggled with control over the last half of the season and is carrying a 1.48 WHIP versus a 1.15 WHIP earlier in the year. I don?t pick large dogs often, but this looks to be a prime spot. I?ll back Toronto +163 on the moneyline to pull off the upset as one of my Tuesday MLB Picks of the Day.
MLB Pick: Toronto Blue Jays ML (+166)
Cubs vs. Pirates
Play: Cubs -1?
After being thoroughly embarrassed 12-0 yesterday, this is the perfect spot to take the Cubs versus the Pirates. Chicago, as you would expect is a pricey money line favorite here but there is great value available by taking the Cubs on the run line at -1.5 runs. The Cubs will have Kyle Hendricks on the mound and the right-hander has a 2.33 ERA since the All Star break in his 8 starts. Also, Hendricks is a fantastic 6-0 in night starts this season and has compiled a 2.72 ERA in those starts plus held opponents to a .226 batting average under the lights! The Pirates are going with southpaw Steven Brault to take the place of Ivan Nova in the rotation. Brault has been pitching out of the bullpen and it has not gone very well as he has a 5.93 ERA and has been hit at a .328 clip in those starts. The Pirates southpaw also struggled last season in his 8 MLB appearances (7 starts) as he compiled a 4.86 ERA and opponents hit .313 against him. The Cubs are 21-11 against lefties this season and the Pirates are 4-8 when they enter a game on a winning streak of 3 games or more. Also, Pittsburgh is 6-14 in Tuesday games this season while the Cubs are 15-6 in Tuesday games this season.
Pitchers to avoid
Zach Davies (R), 64 percent, Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds: There aren't any bona fide studs that worry me on Tuesday, so we're more in the midrange with the avoid pick. Davies has a tremendous 1.77 ERA over his past nine starts, with just one dud (6 ER vs. Minnesota), but this Cincinnati Reds lineup isn't one to be trifled with when picking spot starts. It has a .333 wOBA against righties that slots fifth in the league, tied with the Cleveland Indians. I think Cincinnati's bottom-feeding 58-79 record keeps folks from realizing they have a strong offense, especially against righties.
CINCINNATI +127 over Milwaukee
Zach Davies has posted some very appealing surface stats lately. First, he?s 8-1 on the road with a 2.13 ERA. Secondly, Davies is 2-1 over his last three starts with an ERA of 0.90 and he?s coming off a seven-inning, six-hit, two-run performance against the Nationals. Yes indeed, Zach Davies has market appeal but don?t get caught buying into his success. Over his last 39 frames, Davies has 23 K?s with a 7% swing and miss rate. His first-pitch strike rate is 54% while his fastball barely tops off at 88 MPH. Zach Davies? success this year has been fueled by a high 77% strand rate and an 80% strand rate over his last five starts. While he?s absolutely a serviceable pitcher that has value when taking back a tag, he?s a bigger risk than it appears because he doesn?t miss a lot of bats and is at the mercy of all those luck-driven stats like BABIP, strand %, hit rate and hr/f. Dude is overpriced here. His 1.34 WHIP and 4.94 xERA say so.
Meanwhile, Robert Stephenson has filthy stuff. Stephenson has 62 K?s in 59 frames with an amazing 17% swing and miss rate. Stephenson is a former first-round righty with impressive raw stuff that includes three plus pitches. His fastball will flash plus-plus with run and sink, though he relies on working it high in the zone, which leads to control issues. That?s getting better, however. The curve flashes plus with hard depth and generates swings-and-misses low in the zone while the change fades with tumble and is another plus offering. The risk is that he walks too many batters but his recent form is good enough to get behind because his raw stuff is so good, which matters at this park. Stephenson has ace-stuff without the control but he?s walking less folks and he?ll now face a Brewers? squad that strikes out more than any team in baseball not named Tampa Bay. The Reds continue to play well at home and hit righties well too. This game is not priced correctly and therefore must be played.
In the Sights, Tuesday MLB ...
There will be much made about Justin Verlander?s first start with the Tigers, and there should be ? Verlander has found his game again, a sharp 5-2/2.41 since the All Star break in which his average fastball is a mile and a half quicker than in 2016. In nine of his 10 post-break starts, strikeouts have exceeded hits allowed, and in the other the counts matched. Pencil Verlander in as a hungry veteran who could bring even more to the table tonight, with legit World Series aspirations now a part of his consciousness, something he has not had in years.
Yet it is the other side of the equation that perhaps brings the biggest edge, and that will get me to #927 Houston Run Line (10:10 Eastern), with -1.5 at even money or better registering for me on the value scales. I believe the Astros got through a major psychological cycle in that cathartic weekend routing of the Mets, and while the impact of Hurricane Harvey will linger, their focus does seem squarely on baseball. That means the opportunity to pick on Ariel Miranda, the Mariners' starter vs. Houston on Tuesday.
Miranda is the key for me. He is merely a journeyman forced into a major starter?s role because of all of the Seattle injuries, and I do not see much of anything to like ? Miranda is sitting at a FIP of 5.51 and xFIP of 5.23 now at over 200 MLB innings, not getting enough strikeouts or ground balls to have much of a shelf life. And that 2017 shelf life may be nearing its expiration point.
Miranda isn?t just a below-average pitcher with little upside, he is also a worn-down below-average pitcher with little upside. In 10 starts since July 1 he has toiled to a 6.84 ERA, only finishing six innings once, and in three of his last four outings he has not finished the fifth. This will be the fifth look for the Astros against his limited arsenal, and it would be no surprise if they made short work of him tonight.
Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers
Play: Dodgers -121
I'm going to go against the Diamondbacks and their 11-game winning streak, as this is simply too good of a price to pass up on the Dodgers at home. Especially with what I believe will be a pissed of LA team, who is going to be sick and tired of hearing about the 4 home run game that Arizona's J.D. Martinez had against them in last night's 13-0 loss. Diamondbacks will send out Zack Greinke, who despite a 16-6 record overall is just 3-5 with a 4.28 ERA in 11 road starts. Greinke also owns a not so great 4.03 ERA and 1.442 WHIP in 10 career starts against the Dodgers. LA is still 21-7 in their last 28 home games against a team with a winning record, 36-17 in their last 53 vs a starter who has a WHIP less than 1.15 and 5-0 in Ryu's last 5 home starts.
Twins vs. Rays
Bartolo Colon looks to continue his ?golden glow? and pitch well in the twilight of his career before its death eventually takes hold. Our MLB handicapper likes his chances against a Rays pitcher due for negative regression.
Jake Odorizzi of the Rays is a .500 pitcher on the season, but his 7-7 record could be a lot worse after looking at his 5.97 FIP this year. Odorizzi has had a huge increase in walks and home runs this year, and his BB/9 and HR/9 have increased from 2.59 to 4.00 and 1.39 to 2.15, respectively. He?s gotten worse as the season has worn on, and his 6.73 FIP in the second half of the season is downright nasty.
The Twins bring Bartolo Colon with them to Florida, and he has liked the new digs so far. He?s not great by any means, but what he has done is reduced his walk rate to a nice 1.64 BB/9 in the second half of the season. The ball is being put into play, and Minnesota?s defense is taking care of the rest. He hasn?t had a blowup start since joining the Twins and has not allowed more than 4 earned runs in 9 consecutive starts while also going deep into games lately. With Odorizzi being terrible and due for FIP regression, I?ll back the Twins here with plus odds on the moneyline as another Tuesday MLB selection.
MLB Pick: Minnesota Twins ML (+129)
Minnesota vs. Tampa Bay
Pick: Tampa Bay -135
The 71-66 Minnesota Twins currently own the AL's second wild card spot, even after losing the first of a three-game series against the Tampa Rays last night. Coming off losing two of three to Kansas City at home this past weekend, the Twins had hoped to kick off their seven-game road trip with a win but instead, lost 11-4 to the Rays. The Angels won 11-9 (in 11 inn. at Oakland) and now sit just a half-game back of the Twins, while FIVE other teams lurk within three games of the Twins. The Rays are now 69-70 after last night's win and reside three games back of the Twins in the AL's congested scramble for the AL's final wild card spot.
Bartolo Colon (6-10 & 6.25 ERA) gets the nod for Minnesota and Jake Odorizzi (7-7 & 4.85 ERA) for Tampa Bay. Colon, a complete bust for the Braves in going 2-8 with an 8.14 ERA, has made a huge impact since coming to Minnesota, especially of late. He is 4-1 with a 3.18 ERA over his last six starts, as the Twins have posted wins in five of those six starts! Colon is 9-6 with a 4.07 ERA lifetime against the Rays in 24 starts (teams are 12-12).
Odorizzi earned the 5-3 victory last time out while permitting three runs, four hits and three walks over five innings to end a five-game win-less drought and even his record at 7-7. However, he has completed more than five innings once in his past six starts, yielding 19 ERs and 20 walks over 26 1/3 innings during that span for a 6.49 ERA. Odorizzi gave up two runs on seven hits across 5 2/3 innings of a no-decision against Minnesota on May 27 and is now 0-1 with a 4.71 ERA in four career starts vs Minnesota (team is 1-3).
Three Tampa Bay players, Corey Dickerson, Kevin Kiermaier and Logan Morrison, had three hits each in Monday's game. It is that kind of hitting up and down the lineup that kept the Rays in wild-card contention in the first half of the season and the Rays will need to hit like that in September to somehow work their way through this maze of wild card contenders. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
