Had a decent 2-1 day yesterday as I went back to using the BKPM™ (Batman Strikeout Predictor Machine) so I think that’s how I should continue making picks. Anyone who took the over 5.5K for +170 on Jose Suarez – please give me a shoutout on Twitter.
Off we go to the K picks…
Phillies @ Nationals, 7:05 pm ET
I’ll start out by saying I like the Phillies to win this game. That said, I don’t think their starter, Chase Anderson, will have a great night. At best I think he’ll get 4 strikeouts this evening – leaning more towards 3. We’ll take the -164 for under 4.5 from FanDuel.
Red Sox @ Tigers, 7:10 pm ET
For the second pick tonight, we are going to look at Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez. Why? Because the BKPM™ gives us a range of 9-10 K against this …umm… let’s say “not so good” lineup that Detroit is throwing out there. You have a couple of options on where to put an over bet – on DraftKings for over 6.5 they are offering -120, but over at FanDuel – if you’re willing to make it a little riskier for over 7.5, you can get +142. If you know me, you know I’m taking the FanDuel bet.
Cubs @ Rockies, 8:40 pm ET
We all know what a hard time visiting SPs have at Coors, and tonight will be no different. For Cubs starter Alec Mills we are predicting 4-5 strikeouts. It looks to me like the books have over-compensated a tad, so you can get +100 for over 3.5 from DraftKings.
See you again tomorrow – same Bat-time, same Bat-place!
