A’s (Bassitt) @ Mariners (Gilbert) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 923-924

Play On: Mariners +108 (5*)

Oakland will be facing a starting pitcher today in Logan Gilbert who has an excellent 0.98 WHIP during his last 11 starts this season. Since the start of last season, Oakland has gone a dismal 6-17 on the road when facing an American League starting pitch who owns a season WHIP of 1.20 or better. Chris Bassitt is enjoying a terrific season thus far. However, during his lone start versus Seattle in 2021 he allowed 4 earned runs during just 4.0 innings of work.

The Mariners Logan Gilbert has gone an extremely profitable 9-0 in his last 9 team starts while recording a brilliant 2.66 ERA and 0.89 WHIP while doing so. Gilbert will be up against an Oakland team with a poor season OBP of .304. Seattle has gone an incredible 9-0 in their last 9 this season as a money line home underdog of +100 to +124.

Any MLB money line home underdog of +100 or greater (Mariners) with a starting pitcher who has a WHIP of 1.00 or better throughout his previous 5 starts, and they’re playing an American League opponent (A’s) with a team on-base-percentage of .320 or worse, resulted in those home underdogs going an extremely profitable 65-31 (67.7%) since 1997. Those 96 home underdogs had an average money line of +114.2 and by risking $100 on each of them it produced a net profit of $4320. Furthermore, this exact betting situation has occurred 9 times already this season, and the home underdogs went a terrific 8-1! Bet on the Mariners for a 5* money line wager.

White Sox (Rodon) @ Brewers (Burnes) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Brewers -120 (10*)

This is an excellent starting pitcher matchup. However, you may be shocked to know, dating back to last season, the White Sox have gone 0-20 (-3.7 RPG) in their last 20 as an underdog of +106 or greater, and that includes 0-14 this year. The White Sox Carolos Rodon has been terrific on the road this season. Nevertheless, it’s highly likely he will need to rely on his bullpen at some point, and that’s not good news since White Sox relievers have a large 7.94 ERA throughout its previous 7 games.

Milwaukee’s Corbin Burnes is a vastly underrated pitcher and much has to do with where he plays. Burnes has been in sensational form through his last 4 starts while posting a 0.99 ERA and 0.80 WHIP. The Brewers bullpen has been solid of late.

Any MLB home team (Brewers) with a money line of between -135 and +115, versus an American League opponent (White Sox) who has a team batting average of .255 or worse, and they scored 2 runs or fewer during each of its previous 2 games, resulted in those home teams going 70-21 (76.9%) since 2017. This exact betting situation has come up 16 times this season and the home teams went an extremely profitable 13-3. Bet on the Brewers as a 10* Top Play money line wager.
