MLB Picks May 29: Yankees and Rays Headline Action

The MLB season has surpassed the quarter mark and teams are looking to separate themselves from the pack. There are a full slate of action for Sunday, May 29 with the Yankees and Rays highlighting play.

New York Yankees versus Tampa Bay Rays

In this AL East battle, both teams come into play “burning hot”. The Rays have a +22 to +14 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Luis Severino is scheduled to pitch for the Yankees and Shane McClanahan will get the ball for the Rays. Severino is 3-0 with a 3.02 ERA and +243 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. McClanahan is 4-2 with a 2.06 ERA and +38 dollars. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line in seven of their last 12 games combined. The Score Predictor has the Yankees by a 7-4 score with only 33 percent confidence. Both teams are showing stability according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Yankees on the road in a one or two-run game, but go “under” the line in a pitcher’s battle.

Baltimore Orioles versus Boston Red Sox

Boston enters play “burning hot down” on the Team Strength Oscillator, while Baltimore is “average down”. The Red Sox have a +29 to +14 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in nine of their last 12 games combined. The Score Predictor likes Boston in an 8-0 blowout with 70 percent confidence. Note that the Orioles have been more consistently performing with regards to their favorite/underdog status. Being a road underdog, this weighs more heavily into the decision. The pick is for the Red Sox in a game “over” the line.

Milwaukee Brewers versus St. Louis Cardinals

Two NL Central rivals battle in St. Louis. The Brewers are “burning hot” and +15 on the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Cardinals are “average” and +29, respectively. The Score Predictor has Milwaukee by a 6-3 score with 30 percent confidence. The teams have been trending on opposite sides of the “over/under” line, so it’s best to avoid that bet. Note that both teams have been very stable, at +10 and +9 on the Team Volatility Oscillator.  I like the Cardinals at home but avoid the over/under.

Los Angeles Dodgers versus Arizona Diamondbacks

The Dodgers look to keep control of the NL West as they head to Arizona. The Diamondbacks are “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator, but the Dodgers have a +21 to +14 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. Tyler Anderson is set to pitch for the Dodgers. He is 5-0 with a 3.32 ERA and -6 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. Arizona is picked to win by a score of 6-4 by the Score Predictor with 39 percent confidence. The teams have been involved in games over the line in eight of their last 12 games combined. Los Angeles has been the more stable team and I like them in a road win in a game “over” the line.

Pittsburgh Pirates versus San Diego Padres

Pittsburgh enters play “ice cold up” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +4 on the Power Ranking Indicator. San Diego is “average” and +9, respectively. Roansy Contreras is set to pitch for the Pirates and MacKenzie Gore is scheduled to get the ball for the Padres. Roansy is 1-0 with a 2.13 ERA and Gor is 3-1 with a 2.06 ERA and a solid bet at +131 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. San Diego is picked by a score of 5-1 with 45 percent confidence, according to the Score Predictor. Both teams have shown stability, consistently performing with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Padres at home in a game “under” the line.

Philadelphia Phillies versus New York Mets

The Phillies and Mets battle in this classic NL East clash. Both teams are struggling at the moment. The Phillies are “ice cold down” and +7 on the Power Ranking Indicator and the Mets are “average down” and +16. Kyle Gibson is scheduled to pitch for the Phillies. He is 3-2 with a 3.94 ERA and +135 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. The Score Predictor likes the Mets by a score of 8-7 with 59 percent confidence. Note that the Phillies are -3 on the Team Volatility Oscillator, so take their favorite/underdog status with a grain of salt. I like the Phillies in a road upset in a game going “over” the line.
