1:10 p.m. ET: Baltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers (-140, 8.5)
Kicking off this doubleheader after last night's series opener was rained out, the Orioles (10-14) bring in Brandon Young (0-0, 6.75 ERA) for game 1. The Tigers (15-10) counter with Casey Mize (3-1, 2.22 ERA).
Originally, the Tigers were listed as -120 home favorites, with the Orioles as +105 road dogs. However, due to sharp betting on the Tigers, their line has moved to -140.
Considering the following trends: home favorites with a winning record have an impressive record of 86-39 (69%) and favorites with line movement in their direction have a 166-94 (64%) record, the Tigers may offer potential value as a non-division favorite.
Detroit boasts the better bullpen, with a team ERA of 2.70 (5th best) compared to Baltimore's 4.48 (8th worst). The Tigers also boast a winning record of 10-3 at home, while the Orioles are only 5-8 on the road.
4:05 p.m. ET: New York Mets (-180, 9.5) at Washington Nationals
Following a 5-4 victory by the Nationals (12-14) in last night's series opener, Clay Holmes (2-1, 3.16 ERA) and Brad Lord (0-2, 4.73 ERA) take the mound in today's rematch.
The Mets (18-8) started as -170 road favorites, with the Nationals as +155 home dogs. However, due to aggressive betting, the Mets' line has shifted to -180.
Considering the following trends: favorites off a loss have a 104-56 (65%) record, and favorites who made the playoffs the previous season have a 123-72 (63%) record, the Mets may continue their success today.
The Mets also boast the superior bullpen, with a team ERA of 2.56 (4th best) compared to the Nationals' 6.89 (dead last in MLB). The Mets are also 4-0 in Holmes' four April starts, while Washington is only 1-3 in Lord's.
4:05 p.m. ET: Texas Rangers at San Francisco Giants (-135, 8)
Last night's Interleague series opener ended in a 2-0 Rangers (15-11) win over the Giants (17-10), with Tyler Mahle (3-0, 0.68 ERA) and Robbie Ray (3-0, 4.07 ERA) starting today's matchup.
The Giants opened as -115 home favorites, with the Rangers as -105 road dogs. However, due to wise guy betting, the Giants' line has moved to -135.
Considering the following trends: home favorites off a loss have a strong 68-30 (69%) record, and favorites with line movement in their direction have a 166-94 (64%) record, the Giants present a solid bet as a favorite in a low total game. The Giants also have a strong home record of 7-4, while the Rangers are only 5-8 on the road.
