The MLB season has reached the halfway point and teams are battling for playoff positioning heading into the All-Star break. A full slate of games is scheduled for July 10 with the Phillies and Cardinals leading the way.
Philadelphia Phillies versus St. Louis Cardinals
The Phillies and Cardinals enter play battling for the final wildcard spot in the National League. Philadelphia comes into play “average up” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +21 on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Cardinals have been scuffling and are “ice cold up” and +3, respectively. Christopher Sanchez is set to pitch for the Phillies versus Andre Pallante for the Cardinals. Sanchez is 1-1 with a 3.48 ERA and +61 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator, while Pallante is 2-4 with a 3.03 ERA and a poor bet at -331. Both teams have been trending in games “under” the line and the Score Predictor has the Phillies by a 6-5 score with 65 percent confidence. Note that the Cardinals have been considerably more stable, according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Phillies in a game “under” the line.
Pittsburgh Pirates versus Milwaukee Brewers
In this NL Central battle, the Brewers host the Pirates. Both teams come into play “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and the Pirates have a +17 to +13 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. Jose Quintana will pitch for the Pirates versus Eric Lauer. Quintana is 2-4 with a 3.33 ERA and +54 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator, while Lauer is 6-3 with a 3.84 ERA and +182, respectively. The Score Predictor has the Brewers by a 3-1 score with 50 percent confidence. Both teams are consistently performing according to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Brewers in a game “under the line.
Houston Astros versus Oakland Athletics
In this AL West showdown, the Astros travel to Oakland. Houston is “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator versus “average down” for Oakland, while both teams are +19 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Jake Odorizzi is set to pitch for the Astros. He comes into play 3-2 with a 4.04 ERA and +13 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. The Score Predictor has Houston by a 6-1 score with 70 percent confidence. The teams are trending on opposite sides of the over/under line, so avoid that bet. Note that at +25 and +21 on the Team Volatility Oscillator that both teams are very stable. I like the Astros but avoid the over/under bet.
Chicago Cubs versus Los Angeles Dodgers
The teams head into this contest going in opposite directions. The Cubs are “average down” and the Dodgers are “burning hot”. Los Angeles has a +26 to +23 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. Note that the teams have been involved in games “under” the line in seven of the last 12 games. The Score Predictor has the Dodgers by a score of 8-3 with 64 percent confidence. Note that the Cubs have been quite unstable, at 0 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Dodgers in this one in a lower-scoring game, “under” the line.
Toronto Blue Jays versus Seattle Mariners
Toronto enters Seattle trying to reverse their downward trend against a hot Seattle team. Toronto is “dead” status and +2 on the Power Ranking Indicator versus “burning hot” and +24. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in six of the last 11 games and the Score Predictor likes the Mariners in a blowout by a score of 9-2 with 60 percent confidence. Seattle is more stable, at +13 to +5 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Go with the Mariners and “over” the line.
New York Yankees versus Boston Red Sox
In this classic AL East battle, the Yankees head to Boston to face the Red Sox. New York is “burning hot” versus “ice cold down” and +22 to +10 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. Jameson Taillon will get the ball for the Yankees versus Nick Pivetta for the Red Sox. Taillon is 9-2 with a 3.63 ERA and an excellent bet at +630 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator, while Pivetta is 8-6 with a 3.68 ERA and -70. The Score Predictor has the Yankees by a score of 10-5 with 64 percent confidence. The teams have been trending in games on opposite sides of the line. I like the Yankees but would avoid the “over/under” bet.
