3 Picks.
6:40PM EST: Royals ML +110 (2 Units).
KC SP Michael Wacha has a 2.55 ERA in 9 starts since coming off the IL at the end of June. He's allowed 2ER or less in 7 of them and hasn't allowed more than 3ER in any. He's a 12-year Veteran with 270 career appearances and 249 starts. He's made 4 or more starts in 20 different ballparks. Of those parks he has a career best 2.56 ERA in 12 games and 11 starts at Great America Park. CIN SP Nick Lodolo has a 4.99 ERA at Home. He's failed to pitch 5 innings in 4 straight home starts, allowing a combined 18 runs in 18.2 IP. He has a 5.73 ERA over his last 8 starts overall. The KC Offense ranks 5th in OPS in August and scored 7 runs in this park yesterday.
7:15PM EST: Cardinals ML +115 (2 Units).
LAD SP Bobby Miller has an 8.07 ERA in 7 starts this year and injuries has a lot to do with it. His most recent start came on July 9th @ PHI, and he gave up 9 runs. He's made a few AAA starts since then, allowing 9 runs in 3 starts (14.1 IP). His commands been a major issue, walking 11 in those 3 starts. LA's bullpen has also been struggling. STL SP Andre Pallente has a 3.38 ERA over his last 7 starts. He allowed 1 ER over 5.2 IP @ KC in his most recent outing. The Cardinals top relievers are all fresh and rested after a loss yesterday and day off Thursday.
8:10PM EST: SD/COL First 5 Innings Under 5.5 (2 Units).
SD SP Dylan Cease has a 1.33 ERA over his last 7 starts. He was on an absolute tear before he got thrown out of rhythm. To start August, he pitched 1 inning @ PIT and then a rain delay forced him out of the game. He started @ Miami in his following and most recent start and labored a bit early. He gave up 5 runs, only 2 of which were earned. Some weak contact found holes in the 1st inning and then multiple errors in the 2nd. From the 3rd on he didn't allow a run and left just 1 runner on base. He's a high Velo pitcher and that's what plays at Coors Field. He allowed just 1 hit and 1 run @ Colorado earlier this year.
COL SP Kyle Freeland has had his last couple starts cut short because of finger issues. For that reason, it's just a 2-unit play. Still, he's allowed 3 Runs or less in 8 of his last 9 starts, ever since he came off the IL. He hasn't faced the Padres yet this year and San Diego's 20th in OPS vs LHP this season. They've also scored 3 runs or less in 3 of their last 4 games.
