Head spinning here as I try and follow the many many trades today. It’s very exciting, but I think if I were a Cubs fan it would be a very sad day. Might pick against the Cubs for every game the rest of this season – I can’t imagine how demoralizing it must be for the remaining players.

On to the K picks…
Brewers @ Braves, 7:20 pm ET
The Brewers’ Corbin Burnes is at the top of the BKPM™ tonight with a projection of 12 strikeouts. I’ve been tweaking the machine a bit, but the prediction holds! Best line I’ve found is over 7.5 at -104 from the folks at FanDuel – go for it.
Indians @ White Sox, 8:10 pm ET
The White Sox are all in this year and have really bolstered their team over this trade deadline. On the mound for Chicago tonight is Lance Lynn and given the state of the Indians right now should have a good night. I’m thinking the 8-9 strikeout range. It’s tight, but I’m taking the over 7.5 and +104 being offered up by FanDuel.
Dodgers @ Diamondbacks, 9:40 pm ET
The DBacks have Zac Gallen starting tonight and he has had a very tough year – currently at 1-5 with a fat 4.8 ERA and WHIP of 1.4. Some starts he hasn’t even made it past the second inning. It’s tough to watch, since I think he has really good stuff and would have benefitted from a trade elsewhere. Long story short – I think he’ll have a short night. I’ll take the under 5.5 K and -128 from BetMGM.
See you Sunday – same Bat-time, same Bat-place!
