Kansas City Royals (Singer) @ New York Yankees (Taillon)
NYY -1.5 (-110) & Rizzo HR (+300) – The Royals head into the Bronx today to begin a four-game series and their last series against the Yankees for 2022. Newly acquired Yankee Andrew Benintendi will look to have an immediate impact on his former team as he will fill the role of the injured Stanton. The Yankees are coming off a quick series loss to the cross-town rivals and look to bounce back here at home. The Yankees are sending Taillon who is looking to bounce back here after a rough first start back from the break. I like the Yankees offense to back Taillon up in this game and I also like Rizzo for an HR prop, he’s due. I’m betting the Yankees -1.5 (-110) & Rizzo HR (+300).
Cleveland Guardians (McKenzie) @ Boston Red Sox (Crawford)
CLE F5 (-115) & F5 U5.5 (-137) – The Guardians and Red Sox finish out the season series this evening at Fenway Park. The Red Sox have decided to not show up after returning from the All-Star Break and I’m hoping that this is just a small phase they are going through. This has the making of a low-score game which is why I like the F5 under bet before the Red Sox bullpen finds a way to lose again. The Red Sox have the offense to be a top-tier team however pitching continues to kill them. McKenzie has had a great month of July and I like him to finish the month strong with another W. The Red Sox are still a little injured having to use prospects that seem to forget how to play. I’m backing the Cleveland Guardians F5 (-115) and the F5 Under (-137).
Texas Rangers (Howard) @ Los Angeles Angels (Ohtani)
LAA 1st to score and win (+112) & Ohtani O8.5K (+102) – The Texas Rangers head to southern California to open up a four-game series with the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels are on a nice stretch of winning here although we all recently learned of the uncertainty that surrounds the future of Mike Trout. Luckily for them, they still have the phenom Shohei Ohtani who can do just about anything. Ohtani has been red hot when pitching and the Angels have a winning record behind him. I like the Angels to be the first team to score and win tonight along with Ohtani having another lights-out game. Ohtani has been averaging 9+K this month of July. I’m betting the Angles (+112) and my prop bet for this game is Ohtani O8.5 K (+102).
