The MLB season is nearly three-quarters in the books and races are heating up. There are several key divisional matchups for the weekend of August 8 with the Phillies and Mets headlining the action.
New York Mets versus Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies host the Mets in an NL East battle. The Mets hold a slim lead in the division but the Phillies are “burning hot” at the moment versus “ice cold up” on the Team Strength Oscillator. In addition, the Phillies hold a +19 to +3 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Neither team has named their starter for this game. The Totals Predictor shows the teams trending on opposite sites of the line, while the Scores Predictor gives the Mets a 7-5 victor with 60 percent confidence. I am going with the hot hand and that is the Phillies.
Washington Nationals versus Atlanta Braves
In another NL East showdown, the Braves try to keep pace as they battle the Nationals. The teams are heading in opposite directions with the Braves are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator versus “ice cold down”.

The Braves have a +13 to +2 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Expect the Braves to win and cover.

The NL West meets the NL Central in this showdown. Both teams are battling for playoff position. Neither team has named its starting pitcher at this time. The Giants have a +21 to +6 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator, while both teams are “average up” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The over/under is best avoided with this game as the teams are trending on opposite sides of the line. The Scores Predictor has the Giants in a 7-1 blowout with 54 percent confidence. Look for the Giants to come away with an easy victory.
Seattle Mariners versus New York Yankees
The Mariners head to New York to take on the Yankees. Seattle has a +27 to +24 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator, but the Yankees are “burning hot” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator.

It’s best to avoid the over/under bet with the teams trending on opposite sides of the line. The Scores Predictor gives the Yankees a blowout win by an 11-2 score with 51 percent confidence. Go with the Yankees at home, but in a much closer game.

In Houston, the Astros look to gain momentum again the AL Central Minnesota Twins. The Astros have a +28 to +7 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator, while both teams have been struggling a bit lately at “average down” and “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator.

I like the Astros at home but avoid the over/under.

In a battle of the “windy city”, the White Sox enter with a +26 to +1 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Neither team has been playing their best ball lately, coming in at “average down” and “ice cold up” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Dylan Chase is set to pitch for the White Sox. He is 8-6 with a 3.92 ERA but a poor bet at -96 dollars on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. The Scores Predictor gives the White Sox a 5-2 edge with 54 percent confidence. Avoid the over/under on this one but go with the White Sox with a road win.

In this AL East battle, two teams are heading in opposite directions. The Red Sox are “dead up” versus “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and the Blue Jays are +29 to 0 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Garrett Richards is set to get the ball for the Red Sox.
