Game 2 of Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies (6:45 PM Eastern)
Zack Wheeler, the dominant starting pitcher for the Phillies, boasts a 2.42 ERA, along with 11.2 strikeouts and 1.8 walks per nine innings. Conversely, Chris Sale of the Braves has produced a 3.36 ERA, having allowed only six runs over his past five appearances. Although the Braves are struggling on the road with a 9-19 record, the Phillies have thrived at home with an impressive 18-8 record.
Pick: Philadelphia Phillies Moneyline -110 (Greg's Handicap: Phillies –144)
Oakland Athletics vs. Toronto Blue Jays (7:07 PM Eastern)
José Berriós, the Blue Jays' starting pitcher, has historically performed better at home, sporting a career 3.61 ERA with fewer than one home run allowed and nine strikeouts per nine innings. On the flip side, Athletics' starter Jacob Lopez holds a 2.57 ERA, but his limited experience might be a concern (only 14 innings across five appearances, with 5.1 walks per nine innings). Backed by a bullpen ranked 28th in ERA at 5.98, Lopez's team might struggle.
Pick: Toronto Blue Jays Moneyline –138 (Greg's Handicap: Blue Jays –149)
Washington Nationals vs. Seattle Mariners (9:40 PM Eastern)MacKenzie Gore, who has a 3.47 ERA for the Nationals, seems due for positive regression, leveraging a 2.81 FIP along with 13.4 strikeouts per nine innings. Emerson Hancock, Seattle's starter, sports a higher ERA of 5.95, skewed by two less-than-stellar outings. Backed by a Mariners' bullpen ranking 10th in ERA at 3.41, Hancock has more encouraging prospects.
Pick: Nationals vs. Mariners Under 7.5 Runs (Greg's Handicapped Total: 7.4)
