The MLB season is well into the second half and every series has playoff implications. There is a full slate of games scheduled for July 25 with the Braves and Phillies the featured game.
Atlanta Braves versus Philadelphia Phillies
In this NL East battle, both teams are chasing the Mets in the division. The Phillies have a +7 to +3 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and the Braves are “average” versus “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Touki Toussaint is scheduled to pitch for the Braves versus Aaron Nola for the Phillies. Toussaint is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA and Nola is 6-6 with a 4.64 ERA and -27 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. Both teams have been trending “over” the line, while the Scores Predictor gives the Phillies a 6-5 win with 30 percent confidence. Let’s go with the Phillies to take the series finale at home.
Tampa Bay Rays versus Cleveland Indians
The AL East meets the AL Central in this contest. The Rays have a +25 to +17 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Neither team has named their starting pitcher. If considering the “over/under” bet, both teams are trending “over”. However, the Scores Predictor has the Rays winning by a 7-1 margin with 68 percent confidence. I would avoid betting “over/under” but take the Rays to win and cover on the road.
Texas Rangers versus Houston Astros
Two AL West rivals battle for Texas supremacy as the Rangers face the Astros. Houston has a +26 to +1 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “average down” versus “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The teams have not decided on their starting pitchers at this time. The Scores Predictor shows the Astros in a 10-0 blowout with nearly 83 percent confidence. The teams have been trending on opposite sides of the “over/under” line, making this bet a little iffy. One thing that should be a lock is the Astros winning the game and covering.
Toronto Blue Jays versus New York Mets
The Mets look to maintain their lead in the NL East as they host the Blue Jays in the final game of the series. The Blue Jays have a +11 to +2 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and both teams are “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Ross Stripling is scheduled to pitch for Toronto and the Mets haven’t named their started. Stripling is 3-6 with a 5.04 ERA and -308 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. The Totals Predictor shows the teams on opposite sides of the line, while the Scores Predictor gives New York a 7-6 victory with a confidence of 52 percent. Place your bet on “over” and for a Mets win.
Chicago White Sox versus Milwaukee Brewers
Two midwest teams battle as the Brewers host the White Sox. Chicago has a +23 to +15 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator, while both teams are plodding along at the moment, at “average” status on the Team Strength Oscillator. Lance Lynn is set to pitch for the White Sox versus Brandon Woodruff for the Brewers. Lynn is 9-3 with an ERA of 1.94, but has been a poor bet at -224 dollars. Woodruff is 7-4 with a 2.04 ERA and +429 dollars. The Scores Predictor has the White Sox by a 6-1 margin with 39 percent confidence. Bet “under” and go with a White Sox win on the road.
