MLB Picks May 22: Dodgers and Phillies Featured Game

The MLB season has nearly reached the quarter mark and the top teams are beginning to separate themselves from the pack. There is a full slate of games for May 22 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies headlining the action.

Los Angeles Dodgers versus Philadelphia Phillies

The Los Angeles Dodgers head to Philadelphia “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +26 on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Phillies are “average up” and +7, respectively. Tony Gonsolin is set to pitch for the Dodgers and Zach Eflin will get the ball for the Phillies. Gonsolin is 4-0 with a 1.64 ERA and +110 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator, while Eflin is 1-3 with a 3.90 ERA and a poor bet at -146. Both teams have been involved in games “over” the line lately and the Score Predictor likes the Dodgers by an 8-0 score with 63 percent confidence. Note that the Dodgers have been much more stable at +11 to -5 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Dodgers in a tight game going “over” the line.

Detroit Tigers versus Cleveland Guardians

Detroit comes into play “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +15 on the Power Ranking Indicator. On the flip side, the Guardians are “ice could down” and +8 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Beau Brieske is set to pitch for the Tigers and Tristan McKenzie will get the ball for the Guardians. Brieske is 0-3 with a 5.13 ERA and -106 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator, while McKenzie is 2-3 with a 2.97 ERA and -213, respectively. The teams have been trending equally in games over and under the line and the Score Predictor has Cleveland by a 6-3 score with only 18 percent confidence. Notice that both teams are consistently performing with regards to their favorite/underdog status. I like Cleveland by a few runs but avoid the over/under bet.

Washington Nationals versus Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee enters play “average up” and +6 on the Power Ranking Indicator, while Washington is “ice cold down” and +3, respectively. Aaron Sanchez is scheduled to pitch for the Nationals and Freddy Peralta is set to take the mound for the Brewers. Sanchez is 2-3 with a 7.94 ERA and +167 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. Peralta is 3-1 with a solid 3.53 ERA and is also a good bet at +103. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in seven of their last 12 combined. The Score Predictor likes the Brewers by an 8-6 score with 69 percent confidence. Stability is present in both teams, coming in at +10 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Brewers to win by two or three runs in a game “over” the line.

San Diego Padres versus San Francisco Giants

In the NL West battle, both teams enter “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and the Padres have a +24 to +23 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line in eight of their last 12 games combined. The Score Predictor sees this as a tight, high-scoring game with the Giants winning 7-6 with 54 percent confidence. Both teams are consistently playing with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Giants, perhaps taking extra innings in a game “over” the line.

Minnesota Twins versus Kansas City Royals

In the AL Central battle, the Royals come in “burning hot” and +17 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Minnesota is “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +10 on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Twins have been involved in equal number of games over and under the line over their last six, while the Royals have been trending in games “over” the line. The Score Preidtor likes the Twins by a 5-0 score but with only 38 percent confidence. Minnesota is +14 on the Team Volatility Oscillator and the Royals are +10. I like the Royals at home in a game “under” the line.

Oakland Athletics versus Los Angeles Angels

Two teams from the AL West face off in this one and both are struggling. The Athletics are “ice cold down” and +12 on the Power Ranking Indicator and the Angels are also “ice cold down” and +14 on the Power Ranking Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in seven of their last ten games combined. The Score Predictor likes the Angels by a 6-3 score with a high level of confidence of 80 percent. Los Angeles has been moderately stable at +1 on the Team Volatility Oscillator and Oakland has been more stable at +7. I like the Angels at home but avoid the over/under bet.
