Tampa Bay Rays (Kluber) @ Houston Astros (Garcia)
HOU F5 3-way (-108) – The Astros are favored today -165 but I’m focusing more on the starting pitching matchup. Rays starter Corey Kluber has been a solid veteran presence this year but has an ERA ~5.00 over the last 3 months. Astros starter Luis Garcia has repeated his performance from last year this year in his age 25 season with another year of 150+ innings, ERA below 4 and K/9 above 9. He’s also been pitching especially well lately with a 1.96 ERA over his last 4 starts. The Astros offense also has the edge over the last 30 days with a 110 wRC+ compared to 94 for the Rays. Tonight I’m going with Garcia and the Astros to be winning after 5 and going with HOU F5 3-way -108.
New York Mets (Bassitt) @ Atlanta Braves (Morton)
NYM ML (+112) – The Braves are going for the 3 game sweep tonight at home against the Mets. They have Charlie Morton on the mound and he’s coming off a rough start against the Phillies where he gave up 6 earned runs in 4.2 innings to raise his ERA for September to 5.27. The Mets counter with Chris Bassitt who has pitched well lately including a win against the Braves in July where he pitched 6 innings and gave up 1 run. Both offenses have been good over the last 30 days (NYM- 121 wRC+, ATL- 111 wRC+) so I’m mostly basing this off the starting pitching matchups and going with the value for the Mets to steal one here and taking NYM ML +112.
