Pirates at Reds Game 1 picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 5, Pirates 4

Money line

The home nine has the more rested bullpen, especially at the back end. That Cincy relief corps has been a bunch with expected performances better than their surface numbers for much of the season and they’ve pitched better of late (3.42 ERA last 30 days).

TAKE CINCINNATI (-145).

Run line/Against the spread

The likable home side and likable Under don’t usually mix well on the Run Line. PASS.

Over/Under

Peg the Cincy offense as being a bit too far out over its skis with its surface numbers. Cooled-off temperatures in the weather report work against an outward-blowing hitters’ breeze.

BACK THE UNDER 9.5 (-122).

Royals at Twins picks and predictions

Prediction

Twins 6, Royals 3

Money line

Even though I expect the Twins to win, I’ll PASS on the money line in this game. You would only make $100 on a $190 wager if you took Minnesota in this contest, and that’s a little too much risk for me.

Run line/Against the spread

The TWINS -1.5 (+110) are the choice in this game, even with both teams struggling recently. Minnesota has won by multiple runs in 7 of their last 8 victories over Kansas City, including each of the last 4.

For those that aren’t confident in the Twins to win by 2 or more runs, TWINS -0.5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (-130) is a nice alternative.

Over/Under

Despite both of these teams reeling in recent games, OVER 8.5 RUNS (+100) is a solid bet in this game. The Royals have hit the Over in the 1st game of a series in each of their last 8 series.

The Over is also 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between the Twins and the Royals.

Colorado Rockies at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Colorado Rockies at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (61-80) take on the Chicago White Sox (72-69) Tuesday in the opener of a 2-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

Colorado had a 4-game winning streak snapped at home Sunday with a 12-6 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. They found ways to win 4-1 games as well as 13-10 games, and they’ll need that in another hitters’ park in Chicago. Colorado is 40-36 at home but just 21-46 on the road.

Chicago had its 4-game winning streak snapped Sunday as well, and they’ve been playing much better baseball finally. The Pale Hose are 7-3 over the last 10 after toiling at or below the .500 mark for much of the season. They are 3 games back from the AL Central division-leading Cleveland Guardians.

Rockies at White Sox projected starters

RHP Chad Kuhl vs. RHP Michael Kopech

Kuhl (6-8, 5.38 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.51 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 in 117 IP.

Has a 9.40 ERA over his last 7 starts
Has been worse away from Coors Field with a 6.00 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 13 road starts

Kopech (4-9, 3.78 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 4.5 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 114 1/3 IP.

Allowed 4 ER on 4 H with 2 BB and 4 K in 3 2/3 IP at the Seattle Mariners in his first start back from the IL Sept. 7

Rockies at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 5, Rockies 4

Money line

Neither pitcher has been very good, but I’m going to give the slight edge to Kopech, who has ace stuff and Triple-A command. This matchup is much closer than the -200 odds for the White Sox would indicate as they’re 34-36 at home this season. I still don’t see enough to take the ‘dogs here, though.

Kuhl has allowed 3 ER or more in 9 straight starts. Take the WHITE SOX OVER 2.5 TOTAL RUNS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-102).

Run line/Against the spread

Each team won their respective game by 1 run earlier in the season. The White Sox are a brutal 28-42 on the RL at home. I’m siding with the Rockies on the RL, but I see one that gives me a ton of confidence.

Dating back to Aug. 5, 13 of Chicago’s last 19 wins have been by 2 runs or fewer. It’s chalky, but it feels like a lock. Take the ROCKIES ALTERNATE SPREAD +2.5 (-190).

Over/Under

The White Sox are 4-0-1 O/U over the last 5 games, and Colorado is 3-1-1. The starters are probably going to allow 6 themselves, and we’ll need a couple from the bullpen to cash. I’m with that, and the books feel it, too.

Take the OVER 7.5 (-130).

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Milwaukee Brewers (75-66) take on the St. Louis Cardinals (83-58) Tuesday in the opener of a 2-game set at Busch Stadium. First pitch is set for 7:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Cardinals odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Cardinals lead 8-7

Milwaukee has awakened from its slumber and won 4 of 5 against the sub-.500 Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants. The Brew Crew sit 8 games out in the NL Central and 2 games from the final wild-card spot, which belongs to the San Diego Padres. They really need both games of this series.

St. Louis continues to cruise, winners of 7 of 10 games and 22 of 30. It would take a collapse of epic proportions to lose an 8-game lead with 21 to go. The Cardinals continue to find ways to win. 1B Albert Pujols hit a dramatic, 2-run homer Sunday in the 9th inning to lead them to victory on a day that 1B Paul Goldschmidt and 3B Nolan Arenado sat out before Monday’s off day.

Brewers at Cardinals projected starters

RHP Matt Bush vs. LHP Jordan Montgomery

Bush (2-2, 3.23 ERA) makes his 6th start and 58th appearance. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 11.7 K/9 in 53 IP.

Threw 13 pitches in his last outing and may be limited to 2 IP in his opening appearance
Has a 3.86 ERA in 17 outings with Milwaukee covering 16 1/3 IP, a 0.98 WHIP and 13.2 K/9

Montgomery (8-3, 3.08 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.04 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 158 IP.

Brewers at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 4, Brewers 3

Money line

I’m picking St. Louis to win, but it won’t be easy. Milwaukee plays them extremely tough. However, Montgomery has been a whirlwind since he was acquired at the trade deadline, and Milwaukee going with a bullpen game should give the Cards enough leverage to sneak by. There’s no way we’re dropping -210, though.

I think this is a low-scoring game, and it’ll take a bit to feel each other out. Go with UNDER 4.5 TOTAL RUNS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

The Brewers have scored 3 runs or fewer in 5 of the last 6 in Busch Stadium. They’ll do so again Tuesday, and I have more confidence in that than I do either run line.

Go with BREWERS UNDER 3.5 TOTAL RUNS (-150).

Over/Under

It’s expected to be a sunny, 79-degree day with a 3-mph wind coming in from left-center field. The Under has hit in 2 of the last 3 meetings between the teams and is 5-4-1 in the last 10. Milwaukee’s bullpen has some issues, but weather conditions should keep this one UNDER 8.5 (-130).

Season series: Dodgers lead 10-2

The Dodgers opened the series with a 6-0 shutout win as starter LHP Tyler Anderson picked up his 15th victory of the season. It was L.A.’s 3rd straight win and 7th in its last 9 games.

The Diamondbacks have now lost 5 of their last 6 games after having won 9 of 11. They received a great performance from starter RHP Ryne Nelson, who pitched 6 scoreless innings, but the bullpen allowed 6 runs in the final 3 frames.

Dodgers at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Diamondbacks 3

Money line

The Dodgers have just dominated the Diamondbacks this season, winning 10 of 12 games so far. Kelly has been fantastic all season for Arizona but he is 0-3 with a 9.69 ERA in 3 starts against them.

The Dodgers have won 7 of their last 9 games and the Diamondbacks have lost 5 of their last 6.

If it weren’t for the price, betting the Dodgers makes perfect sense. However, because of the price, PASS on the money line.

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers are 87-53 ATS overall, the 2nd-best mark in all of baseball, and 44-29 ATS on the road.

Seven of their 10 wins over the Diamondbacks have been by at least 2 runs, and 85 of their 97 wins overall have been by at least 2 runs.

The Diamondbacks are 81-59 ATS overall and 40-32 ATS at home, but 10 of their last 11 losses have been by 2 or more runs.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-108).

Over/Under

The series opener finished with 6 runs. Seven of the 12 games this season have had 8 or more total runs.

The game Monday ended a streak of 10 straight games for the Dodgers with a total of 8 or more runs.

Even in Kelly’s 3 losses to the Dodgers, only 1 has had more than 7 runs.

The Dodgers themselves have scored 6 or more runs in 7 of their last 9 games, while the Diamondbacks have scored 3 or more in 7 of their last 9.

Take OVER 7.5 (-120).

Inter Miami CF vs. Columbus Crew odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Inter Miami CF vs. Columbus Crew odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami CF (10 wins, 13 losses, 6 draws) welcomes the Columbus Crew (9-6-14) to DRV PNK Stadium Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Inter Miami CF vs. Columbus Crew odds, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Sitting in 7th in the Eastern Conference, the Crew needs to find a way to secure 3 points on the road. They’re 3 points ahead and a game behind the 8th-seeded New England Revolution.

Inter Miami has the same amount of games played as Columbus, but is 5 points behind in the standings. The Crew are led by M Lucas Zelarayán, who has 9 goals in 21 starts this season.

Miami has been led by 34-year-old F Gonzalo Higuaín with 10 goals in 23 appearances. Including a 1-0 loss in Columbus, Miami has lost 3 straight matches.

Inter has been far better at home though as they post an 8-3-3 record at DRV PNK Stadium.

They’re 3-0-1 in their last 4 home matches. Inter has 5 matches left, 3 of them at home, so there is a slim chance they got hot and are able to make the playoffs.

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Columbus Crew 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN INTER MIAMI CF (+135).

Miami has been a different animal at home. Also, Miami is about 2 weeks removed from losing in Columbus to the Crew, and there’s no denying that they’ll have that in the back of their minds.

Miami has not lost to an Eastern Conference team in both matches this season. Even against Philadelphia and NYCFC, it either drew or won the game they didn’t lose.

The Crew have lost just once since May 21. They are a solid side, but this trend is going to be snapped eventually. Against a hungry Miami team that plays well at a home, I’d bet Miami is able to come out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-115).

Miami has hit this total in their last 7 home games and has only missed it in 3 of 14 home matches this season. Miami is a strong attacking side with an experienced and skilled striker leading the way.

Similarly, Columbus newcomer F Cucho has 8 goals in 10 starts. He’s been a huge help to an offense that struggled early in the season.

Miami is tied for the 4th-most goals allowed in the East as well, so it is a side that has a weak defense which should help the Crew. Columbus also ranks in the top half of the league in passing percentage and shots.

It should be able to make its way through Miami’s porous defense.

Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich (1-0) welcomes Barcelona (1-0) to Allianz Arena Tuesday with kickoff set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich is coming into this match having drawn 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. They beat Inter Milan 2-0 to kick off the Champions League group stage round.

Bayern sits 3-0-3 in Bundesliga competition and is expected to win the league. Bayern’s big-time addition this offseason was Liverpool F Sadio Mane, who has 3 goals so far this season.

Barcelona will enter this match having won 5 of their 6 competitions this season. They’re No. 1 in La Liga. They beat Viktoria Plzeň in their first UCL group stage match 5-1.

The roadside is led by F Robert Lewandowski with 6 goals this season. This will be the long-time Bayern forward’s 1st match against his old club which will undoubtedly be a talking point leading into the match.

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Barcelona 2

Money line (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+330).

The value for a draw is there.

Despite having had more expected goals than their opponent, Bayern hasn’t been able to win as of late. They’ve drawn 3 of 5 and didn’t even look overly dominant against Inter.

Considering Barcelona’s form in both league play and in the UCL along with the impact that Lewandowski will undoubtedly have, they should be able to keep pace with Bayern.

Bayern beat Barcelona a combined 6-0 in group stage matches last season, but these teams are drastically different and those changes should bode well for the surging road side.

I’d back them to get some kind of result here, and a DRAW (+340) has the best value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-108).

Barcelona drew Rayo Vallecano 0-0 in their 1st league match of the season. Since then they have had at least 3 goals in each match. In 4 of 6 games, Barcelona has scored 4 or more.

Lewandowski is a club-changing player, and his impact has drastically impacted their offense. He should be able to find success against his former team.

Bayern has scored at least 2 goals in 7 of 9 matches this season with Mane being incredibly helpful to the team’s pace. Both have quick, dynamic attacks and should be able to break through.
