    Analysis

    Love the player, hate the juice. The former No. 1 overall draft pick is excelling in the Majors right now, hitting .304 since being called up on April 28th. In his last six starts, Travis Bazzana has posted five multi-hit games. Though he's never faced another former No. 1 overall pick, Casey Mize, I expect Cleveland's second baseman to record at least one hit on Thursday afternoon.

    Analysis

    The Cardinals burned me yesterday but today simply asking for a one-run loss. Today's starter Dustin May (3-4, 4.81) doesn't have great numbers on the surface but has had four straight quality starts. The righty simply got wrecked his first two of the year and been trying to dig out of that hole. May threw six strong in a no-decision in Pittsburgh on April 27. Counterpart Braxton Ashcraft was raked by the Cardinals on April 28 for six runs in 4.1 innings. The Bucs have failed on their past three tries to win back-to-back games. Again, go ahead. Just make it close. The teams have played a combined 25 one-run games.

    Picked: May 20 @ 11:45pm

    Analysis

    Give me all of the Juan Soto props right now! He has scored a run in seven straight games and 8 of his last 9. Plus he's 4 for 5 lifetime against Nationals starter Cade Cavalli. I would also play Over 1.5 total bases and Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs where you can. Let's ride the hot streak until it burns out (even though the Mets aren't very good).

    Picked: May 21 @ 11:03am

    Analysis

    The Braves have the No. 2 offense in baseball so far, and their 5.9 runs per game average on the road is exceptional. Meanwhile in their last nine games, the Marlins have scored 9+ runs three times and under-3 runs four more. Guess which side of the spectrum we project vs. Spencer Strider (2.45 ERA)?

    Money Line
    Picked: May 21 @ 11:14am

    Analysis

    The Yankees’ offense has a .584 OPS vs. right-handers the last 15 days, which isn’t good. Spencer Miles will get a bulk relief spot; he did it on May 10 vs. the Tigers and tossed 6.2 scoreless innings. Toronto’s offense stinks, but it stinks less vs. left-handers of late and Carlos Rodon hasn’t been sharp.
