Heading down to the final few games of the MLB season and there are still some playoff races to be decided. There is a full schedule of games for September 26 with the key matchup featuring AL East rivals, Yankees and Red Sox.
New York Yankees versus Boston Red Sox
The Yankees enter third in the AL East and the Red Sox are second. Boston has a +26 to +18 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and both teams are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Jordan Montgomery is scheduled to pitch for the Yankees and Eduardo Rodriguez is set to take the mound for the Red Sox. Montgomery is 6-6 with a 3.55 ERA and +$298 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. Rodriguez is 11-8 with a 4.97 ERA and +$423. The Scores Predictor shows the Red Sox winning by an 8-5 score with 80 percent confidence. The Totals Predictor indicates that betting over/under is not a smart play in this one. Go with the Red Sox in a home win.
Pittsburgh Pirates versus Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies are keeping their slim playoff hopes alive, but need to take down the Pirates to remain in the race. They hold a +16 to +12 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Max Kranick is set to start for the Pirates and the Phillies haven’t named their starter. Kranick is 1-3 with a high ERA of 7.28 but has been a solid bet at +$55. The Scores Predictor favors the Phillies by an 8-3 score with 54 percent level of confidence. The teams have been trending on opposite sides of the over/under line, so best to avoid that play in this one. Go with the Phillies at home in a relatively easy win.
New York Mets versus Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers are the cream of the crop in the NL Central, while the Mets are all but out of the playoff picture. Milwaukee has an advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator of +2 to +1, and both teams are playing poorly at the moment. In fact, the Brewers have lost four straight and are “ice cold down” versus “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Carlos Carrasco is scheduled to pitch for the Mets and Freddy Peralta will get the ball for the Brewers. Carrasco is 1-3 with a 5.29 ERA and -$322, while Peralta is 9-5 with a 2.65 ERA and +$202. The Scores Predictor gives the Brewers a 9-5 win with 82 percent confidence. This pick should be a near lock. Go with the Brewers and “over”.
Atlanta Braves versus San Diego Padres
The Braves are looking to close out the NL East and can get that much closer with a win over the Padres. Atlanta has a +27 to +8 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. They are on a five-game winning streak and are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Padres have been skidding, losers of their last five and are “dead”. Atlanta is predicted to win by an 11-4 score with 83 percent confidence. Expect a high-scoring game as well. Pick the Braves and “over”.
St. Louis Cardinals versus Chicago Cubs
The Cardinals are flying high in the NL Central and look to wrap up a playoff spot. They hold a +29 to 0 advantage over the Cubs on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Jake Woodford is set to pitch for the Cardinals and Keegan Thompson is scheduled to start for the Cubs. Woodford is 3-3 with a 3.92 ERA and +$585, while Thompson is 3-3 with a 3.40 ERA but a poor bet at -$124. The Scores Predictor has the Cardinals in a blowout, 11-1 with 79 percent confidence. I am in line with this, going with the Cardinals but avoiding the “over/under”.
