Lets take a closer look at our picks from over the weekend, starting on Friday where Kansas City beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 behind Noah Cameron’s 5 2⁄3 innings of one-run ball, keeping the White Sox off balance with his mix of breaking pitches. Salvador Perez provided the difference with a two-run homer, and the Royals’ bullpen locked it down with 3 1/3 shutout frames to secure the opener. At Wrigley, Pittsburgh edged the Cubs 3-2 in a tense game where pitching dominated most of the afternoon. Jack Suwinski broke the deadlock in the ninth with a solo blast, handing Chicago a tough walk-off defeat after they had fought back to tie earlier.

On Saturday, Atlanta rolled past Cleveland 10-1, led by Michael Harris II’s homer and a three-hit night that fueled an offensive outburst. Joey Wentz gave the Braves six strong innings of one-run ball, and the bullpen shut the door as Atlanta kept its win streak alive with a convincing road victory. In Cincinnati, Milwaukee outlasted the Reds 6-5 in 11 innings in a thriller that featured multiple lead changes. Andruw Monasterio delivered the decisive blow with a three-run homer in extras, extending the Brewers’ franchise-record winning streak to 14 straight games and energizing a surging club.

Finally, on Sunday, Baltimore routed Houston 12-0 as Dean Kremer fired seven scoreless innings, limiting the Astros to just three hits while striking out six. Jordan Westburg led the offensive barrage with five RBIs, including a three-run homer, as the Orioles put up runs in bunches and finished off the series in dominant fashion. In Cleveland, Atlanta completed the sweep with a 5-4 comeback victory that highlighted their resilience. Jurickson Profar launched a decisive two-run shot in the sixth, and the Braves’ bullpen held off a late Guardians push to seal their eighth straight win.

Seattle to win

Analysis:

The Phillies may have gotten the better of Washington in last night’s slugfest and the Mariners came up short in the “Little League Classic,” but tonight feels like a different story. Seattle turns to Logan Gilbert, who has been one of the most dependable arms in their rotation. The Mariners have won seven of his last 10 starts, and when he’s been in near pick’em games (priced between +125 and -125), he’s been a money-making machine with the club going 43-20 in those spots, good for +25.3 net units. Gilbert has also delivered consistently in tougher matchups, helping Seattle to a 48-29 record (+20.1 units) against winning opponents and 42-29 (+13.1 units) on the road. That’s the kind of reliability bettors crave. Ranger Suarez, on the other…Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

Guardians to win

Analysis:

The Braves’ visit to Cleveland was supposed to be a chance for the Guardians to reset, but instead it turned into a weekend sweep the other way around. Now, Cleveland heads west for a six-game trip looking to regroup, beginning tonight in Arizona. The Diamondbacks have also been sliding, fresh off losing three of four to the Rockies in Colorado, so both clubs come into this matchup looking for momentum. The Guardians hand the ball to Gavin Williams, who has quietly been one of the steadiest arms in their rotation this season. Through 24 starts, the 26-year-old righty owns a strong 7-4 record with a 3.38 ERA and nearly a strikeout per inning (127 in 128). What stands out most is his consistency: since early May, he’s dropped just two…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...
