Tampa Bay Rays (Criswell) @ Toronto Blue Jays (Berrios)
TOR F5 3-way (139) – Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios has been up and down this year but is coming off a good start against the Orioles where he gave up 2 earned runs over 6 innings. He pitched well in July with a 3.00 ERA but had a couple of rough starts in August. He looks to complete his tour of the AL East tonight after keeping both the Yankees and Red Sox to 2 ER over 6 when he faced them in August. The Rays have called up Cooper Criswell to make a spot start after their expected starter had to pitch 5 innings out of the bullpen this week. Today I’m going with the Toronto offense and for Berrios to continue his recent success and I’m taking TOR F5 3-way (-139)
Atlanta Braves (Strider) @ San Francisco Giants (Cobb)
ATL F5 3-way (-115)- It is never good to chase recent success but Spencer Strider is coming off a historically dominant stretch with 9 K’s vs. the A’s and 16 K’s over 8 scoreless vs. the Rockies. However, he has been great all year with a 2.69 ERA over 120 innings with a 13.65 K/9 and a microscopic 1.83 FIP. The Braves offense has been hot over the last 30 days with a 118 team wRC+ while the Giants have cooled off with a 92 wRC+. Today I’m going with Strider and the Braves and taking ATL -1.5 at -115.
