I started the week with a nice 2-1, +1.15u night! I’m back today with 2 more plays, including my first multiunit play of the MLB season. To receive a text when I release/add any plays, join my Telegram group!
*MLB(1.5u): Giants TT OVER 4.5(+105) vs Rockies–8:45 PM CT
This is my first multiunit play of the MLB season, and it couldn’t come in a better spot. The Giants absolutely mash righties at home due to the favorable wind that often blows out to the bay in RF and their ability to stack lefties in their lineup. They’ll get a dream matchup facing Rockies SP Antonio Senzatela. Senzatela has given up an astounding 40 hits through 24 innings this season and thus holds a 1.88 WHIP. However, 4 of his 5 starts have come at Coors Field, a park he’s become accustomed to. In his one road start this season, he gave up 10 hits and 5 ER in Detroit, and last year, he held a 5.05 ERA and 1.52 WHIP on the road. As insurance, the Rockies rank dead last in bullpen WHIP and gave up 3 runs to the Giants in the later innings last night. This is a great opportunity to back the Giants lineup in a spot they thrive in, and the fact that we’re getting this at plus-money is a steal.
*MLB(1u): Yankees F5 TT OVER 2.5(+115) vs Blue Jays–7:10 PM CT
Tonight marks the 3rd time the Yankees will face Blue Jays SP Yusei Kikuchi this season and the second time here in the last week. Kikuchi has failed to live up to the hype in the big leagues, holding a career 4.94 ERA and 1.41 WHIP entering tonight. He carries a 1.55 WHIP through 5 starts and gave up 1.55 HR/9 last year. The Yankees bats were a bit quiet in their series against the Rangers over the weekend, but this is still a team that ranks 4th in slugging % and can put numbers up in bunches. I attribute their struggles to the fact they had a 3 day break in their schedule more than anything. Toronto’s bullpen has surprised me a bit this year and is well rested after an off day, so I will isolate the first 5 innings and trust the Yanks to take advantage of a familiar and vulnerable arm. I passed last week in a similar spot where the Phillies saw Taijuan Walker for the 3rd time, and Philly erupted for 7 runs in the first 4 innings. I think we see a similar eruption for NYY tonight.
