As the calendar turns to July, the MLB season is at the halfway point. Teams are preparing for the All-Star break and look to head in on a positive note. The headlined game for July 3 is the Yankees hosting the Orioles.
Houston Astros versus Texas Rangers
The Astros enter this AL West battle winners of their last two and are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the Rangers are “ice cold down” after going 2-4 over their last six. Texas has a +28 to +17 edge on the Power Ranks indicator. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor has Houston by a 9-6 score but with only 37 percent confidence. Texas won two of the first three meetings between the teams this season. Both teams have been consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like Houston to pick up a road win in a game “over” the line.
St. Louis Cardinals versus Miami Marlins
The Marlins come into play “burning hot” after winning five straight and the Cardinals are “ice cold down” after losing four of their last six. Miami has a +27 to +4 advantage on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games on opposite sides of the “over/under” line and the Score Predictor likes Miami by a 6-2 score with 56 percent confidence. Mike Mikolas is scheduled to pitch for St. Louis. He is 4-5 with a 4.44 ERA and a poor bet at -$227 on the Pitcher Profit Oscillator. St. Louis is very unstable at -8 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Marlins at home but pass on the “over/under” bet.
Baltimore Orioles versus New York Yankees
In this AL East showdown, the Orioles have surprised this season and take on the Yankees. New York is “burning hot” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator, but Baltimore is +25 versus +18 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in seven of the last 12 games and the Score Predictor likes the Orioles by a 5-4 score with only 40 percent confidence. The teams have split the previous six games this season. Both teams have been consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I like the Yankees at home in a game “under” the line.
Los Angeles Angels versus San Diego Padres
In this clash between two California teams, the Angels come in “average down” after going 2-4 over their last six. The Padres have been even worse, “dead” and just 1-5 over the same span. Los Angeles has a +14 to +6 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in eight of the last 12 and the Score Predictor has San Diego in an 11-4 blowout, but with only 26 percent confidence. San Diego has been the more stable team according to the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Padres to end their skid but pass on the “over/under” bet.
Pittsburgh Pirates versus Los Angeles Dodgers
The Pirates are currently riding a three-game winning streak and are “burning hot”, while the Dodgers are 4-2 over their last six and “average up” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Los Angeles has a +19 to +13 edge on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line, but the Score Predictor has a relatively low 5-4 game in favor of the Pirates with 42 percent confidence. Both teams have been moderately consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. I will take the Dodgers on their home field, but pass on the “over/under” bet.
