Mariners plus $1.15 at Red Sox Brayan Bello is set to make his major league season debut today. The Red Sox shouldn’t be expecting much. Bello tailed off last season finishing with a 4.49 ERA. He wasn’t impressive in four minor league rehab starts going 0-2 with a 7.07 ERA and 1.57 WHIP. Bello gave […]
Royals plus $1.26 at Yankees What is Carlos Carrasco doing on a big league roster? Worse, what is he still doing in the Yankees’ starting rotation?

Braves-Rockies Under 10 1/2 minus $1.15 If there’s going to be a Braves-Rockies game that goes Under in this series it is this one. Spencer Schwellenbach vs Kyle Freeland. Judging by season numbers, you wouldn’t think these starting pitchers can keep it low scoring. Schwellenbach, though, is in good form allowing three earned runs in […]
Mets minus $1.40 at Angels In case you didn’t notice, the Angels put sparkplug Luis Rengifo on the injured list due to right wrist inflammation. Rengifo might be the Angels’ best player with Mike Trout out. He leads the team in batting at .300 and in stolen bases with 24. The combination of Rengifo being out […]
