Houston Astros (Garcia) @ Rasmussen (TB)
MIA F5 3-way (+102)- The Astros and the Rays begin a series tonight in what could be a preview of a playoff matchup. The Astros have the best record in the AL and the Rays are comfortably projected to earn one of the Wild Card spots. Luis Garcia has seen mixed results this year but has a 5+ ERA since August 1. Drew Rasmussen has been great all year and has a 2.77 ERA over 125 innings. Both offenses have been hot over the last 30 days, with the Rays at 118 wRC+ and the Astros at 118 wRC+. Tonight I’m rolling with the Rasmussen and the Rays at -122 ML.
New York Mets (Scherzer) @ Milwaukee Brewers (Burnes)
NYM ML (-104)- Corbin Burnes is a good pitcher but it is very tempting to back Scherzer and the Mets at -104 ML when they are usually heavy favorites. Also, the Mets offense has been performing better than the Brew Crew with a 118 wRC+ vs. 105 wRC+ respectively. Keeping it simple tonight and going with Scherzer and the Mets ML at -104.
