PHI Phillies Win(-125)PHI Phillies @ TB Rays

Reasoning

The Phillies kept their momentum going with an 8-4 win over the Rays on Tuesday night. Nick Castellanos played a huge role in the Phillies victory yesterday, going 3-for-5 and driving in four of the team’s eight runs. Looking ahead to tonight’s matchup, the Phillies will send the southpaw Cristopher Sanchez to the mound who is 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA, striking out 39 over 31.1 innings pitched. Seeing Sanchez start for the Phillies has to make the Rays a little nervous. The Rays have struggled against left-handed pitching this season, batting just .189 as a team.

In hopes to steal a victory, the Rays will hand the ball over to Shane Baz who is 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA. In his last start, Baz struggled against the Royals, giving up seven earned runs on nine hits in just 5.2 innings pitched. Baz has a nasty curveball that can put away hitters, but if he’s unable to locate it, he could be in for a long day. The Phillies have an OPS of .745 and average 4.8 runs per game, and for the Rays, they have an OPS of .678 and average 3.9 runs per game. At the end of the day, I’m surprised this line isn’t more in favor of the Phillies. They are the better hitting team, and also have the advantage on the mound based on how the Rays have struggled against lefties this season. Look for the Phillies to roll in this matchup, making the Phillies money line my best bet of the day.

MIN Twins Win(-130)BAL Orioles @ MIN Twins

Reasoning

The Baltimore Orioles were pounded 9-1 in the series opener at Target Field on Tuesday, dropping their third consecutive game. The O’s are a dismal eight games under .500, and a main reason for the struggles has been their inability to win on the road. Baltimore is just 5-12 away from Charm City, and it has dropped four in a row, and the Orioles are 1-8 in the past nine games away from home. RHP Charlie Morton was briefly moved to the bullpen since April 20, but the struggling veteran returns to a starting role. He has a dismal 0-6 record, 9.76 ERA and 2.20 WHIP this season.

The Minnesota Twins have won three straight games, and the nine runs scored in Tuesday’s opener was the most at home since April 25 when they played 11 runs against the Los Angeles Angels. The Halos have scored four in a row at home, and eight of the past nine games. These are two teams going in completely different directions. Bank on the Twins at home, and keep fading the struggling veteran Morton until he shows signs of turning things around.

Orioles vs Twins prediction: Twins ML (-130) available at time of publishing. Playable to -160.
