Jordy’s MLB Bet Picks For September 7th
Pick One: Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 (+145) at the Boston Red Sox
The Rays have won 3 of the last 5 against Boston including last night where they overcame a 7-1 deficit in the second inning. Tonight the pitching edge favors Tampa big. Drew Rasmussen has a 3.00 ERA compared to Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez’s 4.88 ERA. The Rays are above league average in on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS. The Rays -1.5 is the pick especially when Tampa is 79-57 against the spread.
Hit: Rays win 12-7
Pick Two: Cincinnati Reds -1.5 (-105) at the Chicago Cubs
