Seanbo’s MLBbro Bets! Keep That Whistle Wet!

As we (@bbruh916 / @abookay3) drag our sorry butts into the MLBBro.com offices, we’re depressed at last week’s 1 win 2 loss record…shame, shame, shame. I can’t look into Hall of Famer Rob Parker’s eyes. I shudder wondering what the head honcho JR Gamble is thinking about our Ls to the Reds and Mariners.

But hey, if we can take a whoopin’ from our pops for watching the dirty cable channels on his blackbox back in the 90s, we can bounce back from last week! We’re going to do better, Dad America! Here are the revenge picks for today, the first Friday of June…

1. Game 1 takes place at 1:05 PM Eastern in the Bronx, as the New York Yankees (no line posted) take on the Detroit Tigers. Even though the Tigers were showing signs of life against the sneaky good Twins, the Bronx Bombers and righty Gerrit Cole (3.12 ERA) haven’t let off the gas all season. The Yankees money line are the Bros Best Bet, with their 4th ranking slugging % and 2nd ranked homer totals, this should be a walk in the park against the Tiger’s RHP Elvin Rodriguez (6.17 ERA) who is still winless on the season.

 

2. Speaking of the Yankees, we’re staying here for “Propagan”Drew’s prop of the day. I mentioned the Yanks can slug, and a lot of that is because Aaron Judge is playing for a new contract and bigger payday. Drew is feeling great about the Yankees over 3.5 Runs prop, and if you are feeling as risky as I am you’ll also throw a shekel or two on the over 8.5 Runs total for the game.

3. Rounding out Friday’s picks, let’s take it to Tampa Bay and lay a few on the Ray’s money line against the up and down Chicago White Sox (no line posted). This is less about the Sox RHP Vince Velasquez (5.3 ERA) only winning two games all year, and more about the absolute filth the Ray’s lefty ace Shane McClanahan (2.01 ERA) has served up on his way to a 5-2 record. Shane the Mac has been almost unhittable and barring a silent performance from the bats in Tampa this should be another W for him.

In case you missed it…WE’RE ROLLING! 2/3 Last week on MLB Bets, and swimming in the filthy cockroach covered dollar bills that didn’t make it to your local gentlemen’s club stage floor. Anywho…

Now that spring is transitioning slowly into summer and we’re through the “May the 4th Be With You” and “Cinco De Drinko” shenanigans of the first week of May, I thought it’s best to make today’s picks a “BROS Betting Baseball” special edition with my IRL brother (Propag)Andrew (@Abookay3 on Twitter)!

 

1. In the battle for cheapest franchise in baseball, the Pittsburgh Pirates (-115) take on the Cincinnati Reds (-105) starting at 12:40 Eastern. I can tell you they’re both throwing out their RHPs, as Brubaker takes the mound for the Pirates and Overton is trotting out for the Reds. Otherwise, the actual stats are pretty similar between both teams with one key exception: If you blind bet $1K against the Reds moneyline all year, you’d be up $15K. Don’t over think this one, fade the Reds like a Crip standing on the Boise State 50 yard line.

 

2. Now, in case you’re bad with puns, Andrew loves him some props. I mean he lovesprops more than a Carrot Top and Gallagher comedy show! Prop play for Friday is also in the PIT vs. CIN game, with Brubaker Over 5.5 Strikeouts. Cincy is bottom 5 for batting average, runs, hits, on base %, and slugging %. Even though Brubaker’s ERA is floating around 6.2, he’s fanned 21 batters in 20.1 innings pitched. LOVE this prop.

3. The last pick for the day rides the hot bats of the New York Yankees (-165) at home against the Texas Rangers (+145). Even though the Rangers righty Otto is sporting a 2.89 ERA, he’s going up against the 2-0 RHP Cole and the Bronx Bombers who are currently 1st in slugging % AND HRs, and top 5 in both batting AVG and runs. I love the Yankees so much, I’m taking the -1.5 plus money (I’m also the guy who loves McRibs and Spam, so hey to each his own).
