Texas Rangers (Gray) @ Miami Marlins (Lopez)
MIA F5 (-125) & O7 Runs (-115) – The Rangers head to the Miami Marlins to get the second half of the baseball season started with an early game. Both of these teams sit in the middle of the pack in their division and are coming off losing streaks to finish the first half. We have a good matchup today that should see a lot of runs to kick off the second half, both of these teams needing to get out on the right foot. I like Lopez to get the better of Gray as this young man is looking elite coming off of July. The Marlins are 17-11 SU this season at home and for that, I will be betting MIA F5 (-125) and O7 Runs (-115)
Detroit Tigers (Skubal) @ Oakland Athletics (Logue)
OAK F5 (+125) – These are two teams coming off a terrible start to the season and they need a lot of work to make a dent in this second half. The Tigers open up the second half of the season on the road in Oakland (who recently tried to send one of their players on a coach flight to the All-Star Game). I like Logue here to get the better part of Skubal as he did earlier in the season. The Oakland A’s don’t win often but when they do it’s usually against the Detroit Tigers, the lead the series 4-1. I’m betting the Oakland Athletics F5 (+125)
San Francisco Giants (Rodon) @ Los Angeles Dodgers (Whiter)
SF F5 (+104) – This game will probably be the best of the 5 games today however it’s past most of our bed times. This game also provides the best pitching matchup however I’m all in on All Star Carlos Rodon who ranks in the top 20 for pitching after the first half of the season. Both of these teams are coming off strong finishes to the first half of the season and are looking to continue the momentum into the second half. There is always a bit of a All Star break hangover and I think the Giants behind Rodon can jump out on the Dodgers early. These two teams have put up some good series and this is an exciting way to start the second half. I’m betting Rodon and the Giants F5 (+104).
