White Sox plus $1.53 at Royals Once upon a time Michael Soroka was a highly promising pitcher going 13-4 with a 2.68 ERA for the Braves. That was in 2019. Since then Soroka has dealt with major injuries throwing fewer than 50 innings. The White Sox took a shot on him this season. Soroka got […]

Brewers even money at Yankees Neither Luis Severino nor the Yankees can be counted on. The Brewers have lost eight fewer games than the Yankees. So I’m going to take a ‘dog price with the better team. The Brewers are 37-34 on the road. They have a rested bullpen, unlike New York, having been idle Thursday. That’s […]
Pirates plus $1.36 at Cardinals It seems like the Pirates haven’t been good since Roberto Clemente was playing right field for them. But the Cardinals are even worse than Pittsburgh this season. St. Louis is four games worse to be exact. The pitching matchup is Thomas Hath, in what shapes up as a bullpen game […]
