Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles 7:05 pm EDT

Chris Sale vs. Bruce Zimmermann

The Red Sox are reeling coming off being swept by the Yankees at home and now get the Orioles for a three-game set. The Red Sox need to take 2/3 from the Orioles and probably need to even sweep them to solidify a Wild Card spot. 

They recently swept the Orioles for a combined 24-10 score in three games. Boston has gone 12-4 in the season series with 10 out of 12 being more than a 2 run margin of victory. The Orioles have nothing to play for at this point in the season.

BET – Red Sox -2.5 runs (-110) for 1 RW buck

BET – Red Sox over 5.5 runs (-115) for 1 RW buck

Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves 7:20 pm EDT

Zack Wheeler vs. Charlie Morton

This is a huge game for the Phillies who still have a 10% chance to win the NL East. Morton has been one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball but struggled against the Phillies with a 3.57 ERA in his last 5 starts against them. Wheeler has allowed 4 runs in his 4 starts against the Braves this year. 

BET – Phillies -0.5 runs F5 (+125) for 1 RW buck

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals 7:45 PM EDT

Brandon Woodruff vs. Adam Wainwright

The Cardinals have won 16 in a row and just took 4 in a row in Milwaukee with a combined 25-10 score. I have to continue the ride of the Cards, especially as home dogs. 

BET - Cardinals (+105) for 1 RW buck
