The MLB season has reached the final weekend before the All-Star break and teams want to enter on a high note. There is a full slate of games scheduled for July 9 with the Rays hosting the Braves as the featured game.
Atlanta Braves versus Tampa Bay Rays
Atlanta comes in “burning hot down” on the Team Strength Oscillator after going 5-1 over the last six games, while Tampa Bay is “average down” after losing three straight. Atlanta has a +29 to +25 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in half of the last 12 games and the Score Predictor likes Atlanta by a 6-4 score with 65 percent confidence. Both teams have been extremely consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Braves but will pass on the “over/under” bet.
Baltimore Orioles versus Minnesota Twins
After hot early in the season, the Orioles have stumbled lately, losers of five of their last six. They are “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +21 on the Power Ranks Indicator. On the flip side of the coin, the Twins are “burning hot” after a 4-2 stretch and +16, respectively. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in their last two and the Score Predictor likes Minnesota by a 10-5 score with 50 percent confidence. Minnesota won two of the first three games between the teams this season. Both teams have been moderately stable according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Twins in a game “over” the line.
Seattle Mariners versus Houston Astros
In this AL West clash, both teams come into play “burning hot” and the Astros have a +28 to +17 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have both been involved in games “over” the line in four of their last six and the Score Predictor likes Houston by a 5-4 score with 33 percent confidence. Seattle won two of the first three games between the teams this season at home. Both teams have been moderately stable. I like the Astros at home but pass on the “over/under” bet.
New York Mets versus San Diego Padres
The Mets are coming in “burning hot” after winning their last three. San Diego is also “burning hot” having won three of their last four. New York has a +12 to +8 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor likes the Padres by a 6-4 score with about 54 percent confidence. The Mets won two of three games between the teams at home back in April. San Diego has been the more stable team. I like the Padres to win this one at home in a game “under” the line.
Cincinnati Reds versus Milwaukee Brewers
In this NL Central battle, the teams have combined to win nine of the last 12 games. The Reds are “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +27 to +24 on the Power Ranks Indicator. Both teams have been trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor likes Cincinnati by an 8-2 margin with 55 percent confidence. Milwaukee won three of the first four games between the teams this season. Neither team has been extremely consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Brewers to continue their hot streak over the Reds in a game “over” the line.
