We’re feeling great after hitting on two of three picks last week, MLBbro.com Fam. We’re feeling as good as the big boss, Rob Parker, after finding a “Louie” jacket marked down 50% off at his local Ross Dress for Less. Let’s lock in on this week’s three winners, and hopefully we’re all cashing out on extra drip after they hit!
1. The New York Yankees (-155) have absolutely dominated the month of June. Behind Bro Bomber and current American League Player of the Week, Aaron Judge (.305 AVG, 25 HRs, 62 RBIs), the Yankees have dropped just three games this month. We don’t see their rival Boston Red Sox (+130) having any luck in derailing the Yankees momentum, especially with their rookie sensation Luis Gil (8 wins – 1 loss, 2.04 ERA) looking to add to his 90 strikeouts.
Brooklyn Bombs Away. Yankees -1.5 (+100)
2. Both the Philadelphia Phillies (+110) and Baltimore Orioles (-130) are currently ranked in the top 10 of nearly all offensive categories in the MLB. Those offenses will be put to the test as the Phillies’ starter Ranger Suarez (10 wins – 1 loss, 1.81 ERA) and Orioles’ starter Kyle Bradish (2 wins – 0 losses, 2.62 ERA) have been lights out for their respective squads. Look for a quick game, as the pitchers will shine in this battle of big bats.
Filthy pitch. Orioles/Phillies UNDER 8.5 total runs (-110)
3. In a battle of huge payrolls and middling returns, the San Diego Padres (-115) head to Queens to take on the New York Mets (-105). Although the Padres are chasing the division leading Dodgers in the NL West, their offense hasn’t been an issue against the rest of the league. With the Padres’ currently ranking first in batting average and hits, it could be over before the Mets get their first pitcher out of the bullpen.
We’re deep in our bag this week, MLBbro.com Fam! Grab your pocketbook, boot up that app (or hit up Shohei’s interpreter), and let’s cash out on these three winners:
1. The Houston Astros (-135) had a terrible start without their former manager Dusty Baker but have recently turned it around since the departure of the legendary MLBbro. They look to keep the momentum going against the Detroit Tigers (+115), who have been freefalling since their hot start. With the Astros’ pulling it together to get to sixth in batting average, fifth in hits, and seventh in home runs, the Tigers may be tucking their tail all series long.
Blast off. Astros -1.5 RL (+105)
2. Division rivals clash on Friday, as the New York Yankees (-140) head down I-95 to battle the Tampa Bay Rays (+118). Even with the Yankees’ ace Clarke Schmidt (3 wins – 1 loss, 3.5 ERA) taking the mound, we’re more excited about the 2024 debut of the Rays’ young Melanated Mound Marauder, Taj Bradley. Bradley started the season on the IL, and will face off with the Yankees’ fourth-ranked home run hitting lineup. It will be a battle of bros, as Aaron Judge (8 HRs) and Giancarlo Stanton (8 HRs) look to ruin Bradley’s first game back.
Hurricane Yankee. Yankees -1.5 RL (+100)
3. Speaking of the battle for the AL East, the division leading Baltimore Orioles (-140) look to solidify their standing when they host the suddenly surging Arizona Diamondbacks (+118). After sweeping the Reds, the D’backs start their youngster Brandon Pfaadt (1-2 record, 4.61 ERA) versus the Orioles’ fifth-year starter Cole Irvin (3 – 1, 2.86 ERA). Irvin looks to end the Arizona hot streak, and with his offense ranking first in home runs, we’re banking on Cedric Mullens (6 HRs) and his squad to pull it off.
Welcome back MLBbro.com fam! We got off to a rough start last week, dropping all three picks (0-3 on the season). We’re bouncing back strong to get your Friday paper long.
1. A pick we are recycling from yesterday due to rain out is the Detroit Tigers (-125) looking to defend home against their division rival Minnesota Twins (+105). Both starting pitchers are throwing major gas, as the Twins’ Pablo Lopez (1 win – 1 loss, 2.84 ERA) is sitting on a 0.84 WHIP and the Tigers’ Tarik Skubal (1 win – 0 losses, 2.92 ERA) has already notched 15 strikeouts on the season. With neither team cracking the top 25 in runs scored, we’re looking at soccer scores.
Best Bet. Take the Twins/Tigers Under 7 total runs (-110)
2. Meanwhile in the battle for Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Pirates (+135) will travel to the Philadelphia Phillies (-159) in what should be a barn burner. With both starting pitchers hovering near a 5.0 ERA and the Pirates ranking top 5 in runs, hits, and on base percentage, we should see the total runs in the double digits.
Wood will be swinging: Pirates/Phillies Over 9 total runs (-115)
3. For the last pick, we are looking forward to another division matchup as the Atlanta Braves (-189) head to South Beach to take on the Miami Marlins (+158). Neither Max Fried (0-0, 18.00 ERA) for the Braves nor Trevor Rogers (0 wins – 1 loss, 5.4 ERA) of the Marlins can keep batters from finding a base. With the top ranked offense of the Braves on the field, this could get ugly fast.
Another MLB season is winding down, but we’re staying turned up for our MLBbro.com fam! If it’s Friday, it’s payday when you tap in to Bro Betting Baseball.
1. It is going to be a barn burner when the Colorado Rockies (+165) head to the Windy City to face off with the Chicago Cubs (-199). Cubs’ starter Jameson Taillon (7 wins – 10 losses, 5.27 ERA) has been known to get rocked even against lesser opponents, but he’s Nolan Ryan compared to Rockies’ rookie Noah Davis (0 wins – 2 losses, 9.58 ERA).
Run it up. Rockies/Cubs OVER 9 total runs (-110)
2. Desperation is setting in for our baseball fans north of the border, as the Toronto Blue Jays (+122) are battling the Rangers and Mariners for the last spot in the AL Wild Card. Standing in their way are the division rival Tampa Bay Rays (-145), but history is on the Blue Jays’ side! The two teams last met way back in May, where the Blue Jays stifled the burning hot Rays to the tune of a 3-1 series win.
Oh Canada! Blue Jays ML (+122)
3. It’s a good old Philly and New York battle as the Phillies (-165) look to put the nail in the coffin of the Mets (+140). MLBbro Taijuan Walker (15 wins – 5 losses, 4.4 ERA) has proven all year that his former team made a critical mistake in letting him walk for two aging pitchers in Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander. He looks to bring the hammer to the Mets a couple more times to close out the season and bolster a bid for the NL Cy Young in the process.
Clear your schedule, MLBbro.com fam. We have three picks to set off your hot streak. Take a seat, take a peek, and let’s get that bookie beat!
1. Two teams with very little to play for are the New York Yankees (-165) and Pittsburgh Pirates (+140). Even with the Pirates having the home field advantage, they will struggle mightily against the Yankees’ ace, Gerrit Cole (13 wins – 4 losses, 2.79 ERA). With the Pirate’s bottom five ranked offense, Cole could be pushing his numbers closer to Cy Young winning levels.
Cole as ice. Yankees RL -1.5 (+105)
2. In a possible playoff preview, the Miami Marlins (+162) face off with the league leading Atlanta Braves (-195). Miami won’t have their best on the mound, though, as Johnny Cueto (1 win – 4 losses, 6.15 ERA) seems to have lost the velocity and overall filth that put him in elite status just a handful of seasons ago. Bryce Edler (12 wins – 4 losses, 3.38 ERA) will look to carve up the Marlins for a seafood feast.
Bros’ best bet! Braves ML (-195)
3. The AL East may have three teams in the playoffs if the Toronto Blue Jays (-130) can make short work of inter division rival Boston Red Sox (+110) on Friday. Even with Red Sox starter Brayan Bello (12 wins – 8 losses, 3.68 ERA) and Toronto’s right-hander Jose Berrios (10 wins – 10 losses, 3.63 ERA) both sporting sub-four ERAs, the offense has been hot and we’re eyeing that over for the win.
Bats will sing! Red Sox/Blue Jays OVER 8.5 Total Runs (-120)
