Max’s Sports Bet Picks for 8/18/21
MLB
LAA (-136) at DET (125)
Pitchers: S. Ohtani (ERA: 2.93 – Road ERA: 4.6 – Avg. ML: -114) vs. T. Skubal (ERA: 4.19 – Home ERA: 3.57 – Avg. ML: 136)
Pick: Bet $10 DET
Notes: The Angels stomped down on the Tigers yesterday and now they put Ohtani on the mound to face off against Skubal. Ohtani is having a great season – 7-1 with a 2.93 ERA. But that balloons up to 4.6 on the road. The Tigers have quietly moved up the AL Central and are close to jumping over Cleveland.
Part of that is their play at home where they are 33-28 this season. So getting the Tigers at home with a plus line, even with Ohtani on the mound for the Angels, is the play for today.
$10 bet on Detroit.
BOS (-101) at NYY (-107)
Pitchers: N. Pivetta (ERA: 4.3 – Road ERA: 3.16 – Avg. ML: -106) vs. A. Heaney (ERA: 5.93 – Home ERA: 6.02 – Avg. ML: -106)
Pick: Bet $10 BOS
Notes: These two teams are neck and neck in their respective playoff races. A testament to how well New York has played recently and how the Red Sox have fallen off a bit. I anticipate this game – and the final series between these teams a month from now – to be critical games.
I joked about parlaying the Yankees in the doubleheader yesterday and looks like it would have been a smart play. But today I’m jumping on the Red Sox. Nick Pivetta has pitched much better on the road and Andrew Heaney has yet to settle into pinstripes. Hard to fade the Yankees right now but I’m going to anyway.
$10 bet on Boston.
