As the second month of the MLB season winds down, teams are jockeying for position in the standings. There is a full slate of games for May 28 with the NL East battle between the Braves and Phillies top on the list.
Los Angeles Dodgers versus Tampa Bay Rays
Tampa Bay comes in 4-2 over their last six games, while the Dodgers are 3-3 during the same span. The Rays are “average up” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and both teams are +28 on the Power Ranks Indicator. Both teams are trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor likes the Rays by a 7-3 score with 64 percent confidence. Gavin Stone is set to pitch for the Dodgers. He has a 10.13 ERA in limited innings but is a good bet at +$233 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. The Rays are among the most stable teams in the league according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Rays at home in a game “over” the line.
St. Louis Cardinals versus Cleveland Guardians
Both teams are trending in the wrong direction. The Cardinals are 3-3 and “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and the Guardians are “dead” and 1-5 over their last six. St. Louis has a +9 to +3 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams are trending on opposite sides of the “over/under” line and the Score Predictor likes St. Louis by a 5-3 score with 69 percent confidence. Neither team has performed consistently with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Cardinals in a road win but pass on the over/under bet.
New York Mets versus Colorado Rockies
The Mets are 4-2 over their last six games and “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Rockies are 2-4 over their last six games and “ice cold down”, respectively. New York has a +16 to +3 advantage on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in eight of their last 11 games. Tylor Megill is set to pitch for the Mets. He has a 4.32 ERA and is +$100 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. The Score Predictor likes the Mets by a 6-4 margin but with only 56 percent confidence. I like the Mets in a game “over” the line.
Chicago White Sox versus Detroit Tigers
In this AL Central battle, the White Sox are “burning hot” and 5-1 over their last six games and the Tigers are “average” and 3-3, respectively. Detroit has a +6 to +5 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending on opposite sides of the “over/under” line and the Score Predictor likes the White Sox by a 4-0 score with 65 percent confidence. Dylan Cease is scheduled to pitch for the White Sox and Eduardo Rodriguez is set to pitch for the Tigers. Cease is a moderately good bet at +$53 and Rodriquez is a moderately poor bet at -$21. Chicago is the more stable team, at +12 to +2 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like Chicago on the road in a game “under” the line.
Philadelphia Phillies versus Atlanta Braves
In this NL East clash, both teams are 3-3 over their last six, and both “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Braves have a +23 to +7 advantage on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in eight of their last 12 games. This is the first series between the teams this season. The Score Predictor likes the Braves by a 5-4 score with 53 percent confidence. Atlanta is +10 and Philadelphia is +3 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Neither team has named its starting pitcher. I will go with Atlanta but pass on the “over/under” bet.
