Boston Red Sox (Bello) @ Cincinnati Reds (Lodolo)
BOS ML (-124)- Bryan Bello has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing season for the Red Sox. This season has even more of an ominous feel than the usual down year with the future of their franchise cornerstones up in the air. Bello has been outstanding lately, surrendering only 3 runs in his last 16 innings. He still struggles with walks occasionally and seems to have some bad luck hits in every start but tonight he gets to face the Reds which have the 2nd worst offense in the NL this year (84 wRC+). The Reds are 2-8 in their last 10 and I’m rolling with Bello and the Sox tonight and taking BOS ML -124.
Minnesota Twins (Bundy) @ Kansas City Royals (Greinke)
KC F5 3-way (+114)- Greinke faced the Twins last week and had an early exit after 4 innings and gave up 3 ER and also had an uncharacteristic 3 free passes which is the most he has given up in a game since May. Bundy also faced the Twins in his last start and allowed 2 ER in 4 innings which was an improvement from his previous start where he gave up 7 vs Cleveland. Neither of these teams have great offenses, both below league average so I’m looking more at the SP matchup. Tonight I’m expecting Greinke to be out for revenge and I was going to bet KC ML -103 but noticed their bullpen is dead last in baseball with a 4.75 ERA so I’m doubling down on Greinke and KC and betting KC F5 3-way +114.
