Max’s Sports Bet Picks for 7/21/21
MLB
NYM (-135) at CIN (125)
Pitchers: M. Stroman (ERA: 2.81 – Road ERA: 2.94 – Avg. ML: -114) vs. J. Hoffman (ERA: 4.69 – Home ERA: 3.12 – Avg. ML: 109)
Pick: Bet $10 NYM
Notes: Let’s rip the bandaid off. I know, the Mets are not a reliable team on the road. Cincinnati managed to hold on yesterday but I like the Mets to nab a win today. Stroman has not been very good his last 4 starts – but he’s still putting the Mets in a position to win. New York still has one of the more putrid offenses in the league – and the Reds offense is a top 10. But that Reds’ bullpen continues to be a reason to fade them.
$10 bet on the NY Mets Squadron.
KC (151) at MIL (-165)
Pitchers: B. Keller (ERA: 6.15 – Road ERA: 5.14 – Avg. ML: 127) vs. E. Lauer (ERA: 3.63 – Home ERA: 3.9 – Avg. ML: -102)
Pick: Bet $10 MIL
Notes: I resisted betting on Milwaukee yesterday. Sorry Charlie Fuller for suggesting they could be a play. But I do like them today. Keller is hittable and while Lauer is definitely not an ace nor anywhere close to the ace of this team, Milwaukee should not lose 2 in a row to a Royals team that has not won 2 consecutive road games since April when they swept a 4-game road series over the fucking Tigers.
$10 bet on the Brewers.
MIN (131) at CWS (-142)
Pitchers: M. Pineda (ERA: 4.17 – Road ERA: 5.5 – Avg. ML: -119) vs. D. Cease (ERA: 4.32 – Home ERA: 2.22 – Avg. ML: -114)
Pick: Bet $10 CWS
Notes: I was on the Twins yesterday and was wrong. Now I can be on the White Sox today and be wrong. Dylan Cease has pitched very well at home this year – sporting a 2.22 home ERA and Michael Pineda is definitely hittable on the road. The White Sox have won 3 of 5 with their lone loss an 8-inning “extra inning” loss to the Twins on doubleheader day 2 days ago.
Chicago has dominated the Twins this year – posting a 12-3 record on the year and outscoring them by 49 runs in those 15 games. They should get another win today. $10 bet on Chicago.
SF (143) at LAD (-156)
Pitchers: L. Webb (ERA: 3.65 – Road ERA: 4.86 – Avg. ML: -104) vs. J. Urias (ERA: 3.85 – Home ERA: 4.43 – Avg. ML: -169)
Pick: Bet $10 SF
Notes: Here is my dog play for the day. The Giants and Dodgers have traded wins in this series and I have faith San Francisco can pull out the win today. The Dodgers are still not healthy and while they have a deep team – injuries to Betts, Seager, Turner and Muncy are just too much for them to overcome when facing a team like the Giants. Urias somehow has 12 wins this year but his stats are not much better than Logan Webb’s.
So a bit of a flyer on the Giants here. $10 bet on San Francisco.
