Welcome back, MLBbro.com Fam! We were cooking with fire last week, as we hit on two of the three picks last Friday. We roll with that same energy this week as we pick three winners for your last Friday in April!

 

1. We start our Friday in Motown, as the Detroit Tigers (-115) host the Kansas City Royals. Royals’ righty Seth Lugo (3 wins – 1 loss, 2.03 ERA) hopes to keep his outstanding season going against the winless Reese Olson (0 wins – 3 losses, 3.8 ERA) of the Tigers. Powered by the bat of Salvador Perez (.348 AVG, 6 HRs, 23 RBIs), the Royals should easily keep the Tigers at bay.

 

Motown Menace. Royals ML (-105)

 

2. The Oakland A’s (+222) have had a better start than expected to 2024, but the Baltimore Orioles (-278) are chasing the top of their division and are looking to make up ground on Friday. They won’t see much resistance with the A’s Ross Stripling (0 wins – 5 losses, 5.34 ERA), so take the home team to win huge.

 

 

Easy as crab cakes. Orioles -1.5 RL (-120)

 

3. Don’t look now but the New York Mets (-130) are over .500 and have a favorable matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals (+110). Favorable because the Cardinals’ starter Miles Mikolas (1 win – 3 losses, 6.49 ERA) has struggled out of the gate, but the Mets’ Jose Butto (0 wins – 0 losses, 1.65 ERA) has been smoking hot behind 21 strikeouts in limited playing time. Look for Jose to notch his first win and for the Mets to stay on fire.

Best Bet. Mets ML (-130)
