MLB Picks September 25: Cardinals at Dodgers Headline Action

The MLB season is reaching the home stretch and there are still playoff positions yet to be determined. WIth every game vitally important, there is a full slate of action for September 25. The Los Angeles Dodgers host the St. Louis Cardinals in the featured game.

New York Mets versus Oakland Athletics

The Mets head into play with a playoff position wrapped up and the Athletics are just playing out the string. New York is “burning hot down” versus “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +29 to +18 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Max Scherzer is scheduled to pitch for the Mets. He enters with a record of 10-4 with a 2.15 ERA and +61 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. Both teams have been consistently performing with regard to their favorite/underdog status. The Score Predictor likes the Mets by a 4-2 score with 44 percent confidence. I like the Mets in a game “under” the line.

Atlanta Braves versus Philadelphia Phillies

The Braves are battling the Mets for the top spot in the NL East and the Phillies look to hold on for a wild card spot. Atlanta is “burning hot down” versus “dead up” and +27 to 0 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Charlie Morton is scheduled to pitch for the Braves versus Kyle Gibson for the Phillies. Morton is 9-6 with a 4.09 ERA and a poor bet at -168, while Gibson is 10-7 with a 4.71 ERA and a good bet at +228. The Score Predictor likes the Phillies by a 6-5 score with 47 percent confidence. I am leaning towards a Phillies home win in a game “under” the line.

St. Louis Cardinals versus Los Angeles Dodgers

Two division leaders battle in what could be a playoff preview.  The Cardinals come in “average down” and +7 on the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Dodgers are “average” and +20. Adam Wainwright is set to pitch for the Cardinals. He comes in with a record of 11-10 with a 3.38 ERA and +139 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. The Dodgers are +59 on the Team Volatility Oscillator and the Cardinals are +38, indicating both teams are very consistently performing with regard to their favorite/underdog status. The Score Predictor likes the Dodgers by a 5-4 score with 57 percent confidence. Go with the Dodgers in a game “under” the line.

Cleveland Guardians versus Texas Rangers

Cleveland looks to wrap up a playoff position, while the Rangers look to build heading into next season. Cleveland is “burning hot” versus “ice cold up” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +23 versus +4 on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Score Predictor sees this as all Cleveland by a 7-1 margin with 62 percent confidence. Aaron Civale is set to face Cole Ragans. Civale is 2-6 with a 5.29 ERA and +67 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator while Ragans is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA and +3. I like the Guardians on the road in a game “over” the line.
