With the MLB season a third complete, it’s time for teams to make a run in the final month before the All-Star break. Several games are scheduled for Monday, June 5 with the Blue Jays hosting the Astros as the featured game.
Kansas City Royals versus Miami Marlins
The Marlins come in 4-2 over their last six games. They are “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +16 on the Power Ranks Indicator. On the flip side, Kansas City is 2-4 over their last six, “ice cold down” and +5, respectively. The teams have been trending in games on opposite sides of the “over/under” line and the Score Predictor likes Miami by a 6-4 score with 47 percent confidence. Kansas City has been the much more stable team, at +16 to +1 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Marlins at home but pass on the over/under bet.
Houston Astros versus Toronto Blue Jays
In this AL West versus AL East battle, both teams come in “average up” and 4-2 over their last six games. Houston has a +23 to +20 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. Houston has been trending in games “over” the line, but Toronto has been trending in games “under” the line. The Score Predictor likes Houston by a 3-0 score with 60 percent confidence. Houston won two of three in the first series between the teams this season. Both teams have been moderately stable, according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like Houston in a game “under” the line.
Milwaukee Brewers versus Cincinnati Reds
Cincinnati comes in “burning hot” having won five of their last six games. Milwaukee is 2-4 over their last six and “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Milwaukee has a +22 to +11 advantage on the Power Ranks Indicator. The Score Predictor likes the Brewers by a 5-4 score with 48 percent confidence. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in eight of the last 12 games. Julio Teheran is set to pitch for the Brewers versus Luke Weaver for the Reds. Teheran is +$138 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator versus +$6 for Weaver. Both teams are showing moderate stability and are meeting for the first time this season. I like the Reds at home in a game “under” the line.
Detroit Tigers versus Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies come in “ice cold” down after losing four straight, while the Tigers are “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator going 3-3 over their last six. Detroit has a +8 to +7 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games on the opposite sides of the “over/under” line and the Score Predictor likes Detroit by a 6-5 margin with 41 percent confidence. Philadelphia is +5 to +2 on the Team Volatility Oscillator, indicating they are slightly more consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like Philadelphia to rebound at home but pass on the over/under bet.
Chicago Cubs versus San Diego Padres
The two teams come in a combined 5-7 over their last 12 games. San Diego is “average” versus “ice cold down” and +8 to +7 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been even over their last six with regards to the “over/under” and the Score Predictor likes the Cubs by a 3-2 score but with only 33 percent confidence. Kyle Hendricks is set to pitch for the Cubs and Blake Snell will get the ball for the Padres. Hendricks is a solid bet at +$59, but Snell is 1-6 and a poor bet at -$798. The Cubs won two of three in the first series of the season between the teams. The Cubs have been very inconsistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like San Diego in this one but pass on the “over/under” bet.
