Max’s Sports Bet Picks for 8/10/21

MLB

 

STL (-123) at PIT (114)

Pitchers: J. Happ (ERA: 6.77 – Road ERA: 8.51 – Avg. ML: -108) vs. S. Brault (ERA: 2.25 – Home ERA: 0 – Avg. ML: 240)

Pick: Bet $10 PIT

Notes: The Pirates just lost a 4-game series to the Reds but they head home where they have been a decent team. And St. Louis has not been stellar on the road this season. J.A. Happ had an OK first start for the Cardinals but still is not a shutdown pitcher.

I do wish there was a bigger payout but I am still going to jump on the Pirates with this plus line.

$10 bet on Pittsburgh.

 

TB (111) at BOS (-120)

Pitchers: L. Patino (ERA: 5.02 – Road ERA: 8.8 – Avg. ML: -107) vs. E. Rodriguez (ERA: 6.22 – Home ERA: 7.25 – Avg. ML: -107)

Pick: Bet $10 TB

Notes: The Red Sox finally managed a win but hey are still slumping badly. They still have a 71% chance of making the playoffs but if they continue to play like this and the Yankees keep finding wins, that window will keep shrinking.

Tampa has won 4 in a row after a 3-game sweep of the Orioles. Patino has not been one of their more reliable starters but I think he does enough to keep Tampa in this game.

$10 bet on the Rays.

 

OAK (-154) at CLE (141)

Pitchers: S. Manaea (ERA: 3.25 – Road ERA: 2.67 – Avg. ML: -115) vs. T. McKenzie (ERA: 5.8 – Home ERA: 4.98 – Avg. ML: 118)

Pick: Bet $10 CLE

Notes: I hit on Cleveland at home with a plus line yesterday and might as well try again. Manaea has been very good for the A’s on the road this season and Oakland is riding a 4-game winning streak. But Cleveland’s offense is finally starting to come around. It’s not a scary offense, but it was pretty pathetic for most of the season and it’s starting to heat up as the season winds down.

There’s probably little chance they catch Chicago in the Central but seems like they are trying to make it interesting at least.

$10 bet on the Guardians.

 

COL (161) at HOU (-176)

Pitchers: J. Gray (ERA: 3.74 – Road ERA: 4.21 – Avg. ML: 139) vs. J. Odorizzi (ERA: 5.45 – Home ERA: 5.86 – Avg. ML: -116)

Pick: Bet $10 HOU

Notes: I faded Houston a lot last week but now I will back them. Colorado remains one of the worst teams on the road and while Odorizzi has not been a good starter for the Astros this season, I do like Houston to win today.

$10 bet on Houston.
