Carlos Correa had the sickest bat flip after his homer against the Red Sox and here’s every angle of it

Carlos Correa just had the coolest moment of the postseason

Alright, look y’all. The Houston Astros are still incredibly hatable after their cheating scandal from a few years back. That stink isn’t wiped away completely.

But, uh, Carlos Correa, man. This dude is pretty awesome — we’ve got to be honest about that. And he had the most incredible moment against the Red Sox in Game 1 of the ALCS on Friday.

Correa steps up to bat with the game tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 7th with two outs. The count is tied 2-2.

Hansel Robles throws the pitch at Correa and then he absolutely blasts the thing out of the park. And he knew exactly what he did when he did it. It was incredible.

After he hit the ball, he tossed the bat and checked his wrist. Didn’t even watch it. It was so cool, man.

That go-ahead homer essentially clinched the game for the Stros. They never looked back. But I’m here to tell you that even if they lost this might still be the coolest homer of the year. That bat flip, man. The nerve of this guy.

This is just what he does.

It was so good, we’ve got to take a look at it a few more times. Here it is from every angle.

El lanzador derecho mexicano Héctor Velázquez es nuevo jugador de los Houston Astros que negociaron el traspaso del pelotero a través de un intercambio con los Baltimore Orioles por un jugador que será anunciado más adelante.

Las lesiones en el montículo de los Astros los obligó a considerar más opciones en los relevos pues la más reciente baja de Justin Verlander preocupó a la directiva texana que adquirió al lanzador mexicano de 31 años de edad y que ya se encuentra trabajando en los campos alternos de Corpus Christi, Tex.

Velázquez lanzó con los Red Sox de 2017 al 2019 y tuvo 19 aperturas en 89 apariciones con los de Boston.Los Orioles lo habían adquirido recién en marzo pasado pero el 24 de julio se cerró la negociación y jugará para Astros dando un poco de frescura al bullpen de Houston con muchas lesiones en su plantilla.

Mets at Red Sox: Projected starting pitchers

LHP David Peterson vs. LHP Matt Hall

Peterson will be making his MLB debut tonight after posting a 3-6 record with a 4.19 ERA in 24 starts at Class-AA last season.

  • He struck out 9.5 batters per nine innings last year , but his WHIP left something to be desired at 1.345.
  • Peterson was a first-round pick by the Mets in 2017 but has yet to rise past Class-AA.

Hall has never started a game in the majors and has appeared in only 21 games across the last two seasons with the Tigers.

  • In his career, Hall has a 9.48 ERA but has averaged 9.2 strikeouts per nine innings pitched.
  • This will be his first appearance against the Mets, but in his lone interleague game, he allowed one home run in 1 1/3 innings.

Mets at Red Sox: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 2 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Mets 8, Red Sox 6

Moneyline (ML)

The Mets’ bats finally came alive against the Red Sox Monday night, and I’d expect that to continue against Hall. They’ve gotten solid performances from their starting staff, and if the bats begin to heat up, New York will go on a run.

At -115, the METS are still a good value on the moneyline because this is a game they should win. They just have to hope Peterson can keep Boston’s bats somewhat quiet.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Mets to win returns a profit of $8.70.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Mets are -1.5 (+120) on the run line, but that’s a spread they should be able to cover. It’ll come down to pitching with a rookie on the bump, but it’s not as if Boston is trotting out an ace.

Bet the METS (+120) against the spread while expecting them to win by at least two runs.

Over/Under (O/U)

Once again, Mets-Red Sox has the highest total of the night at 11.5 runs. There’s plenty of unpredictability with each team’s pitcher, but both squads possess potent lineups.

Mets 1B Pete Alonso will begin to heat up, as should Red Sox SS Xander Bogaerts and DH J.D. Martinez. Bet the OVER 11.5 (-110) tonight.

Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox sports betting odds and lines, with MLB betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Baltimore Orioles (0-1) continue their series against the division rival Boston Red Sox (1-0) Saturday at Fenway Park for a 1:35 p.m. ET first pitch. We analyze the Orioles-Red Sox MLB betting odds and lines, with betting advice and tips around the matchup.

Orioles at Red Sox: Projected starting pitchers

RHP Alex Cobb vs. LHP Martin Perez

Cobb was limited to just three starts with the Orioles in 2019, posting an 0-2 record, 10.95 ERA and 1.86 WHIP across only 12 1/3 innings before suffering what was called a lumbar strain. He later ended up having surgery for a hip impingement.

  • Cobb didn’t face the Red Sox in 2019, but he was 1-2 with a 5.82 ERA and .361 opponent batting average across 17 innings over three starts vs. Boston in 2018.
  • Cobb is winless in his past six appearances in the month of April, last winning in the season’s opening month on April 26, 2017 as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays in Baltimore against his current team.

Perez will make his first start as a member of the Red Sox after coming over in the offseason after one year with the Minnesota Twins. His first seven seasons in the majors were with the Texas Rangers.

  • The southpaw picked up 10 victories last season in 17 decisions, posting a 5.12 ERA and subpar 1.52 WHIP across 29 starts and three relief appearances for the Twins.
  • The Venezuelan won his only start at Fenway Park last season for the Twins. He was also 2-0 with a 3.75 ERA and six strikeouts over 12 innings in two outings against the O’s.

Orioles

  • OF Trey Mancini had a malignant tumor removed from his colon, and is expected to miss the 60-game season. He starts out on the 45-day injured list.

Orioles at Red Sox: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated Saturday at 6 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Red Sox 9, Orioles 6

Moneyline (ML)

The RED SOX (-209) are heavy chalk against the Orioles (+185), who simply cannot be trusted. Boston improved to 15-6 in its past 21 at home vs. Baltimore after Friday’s series-opening 13-2 rout. The Red Sox are 36-16 in their last 52 meetings vs. the Orioles.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Red Sox (-209) to win straight up nets a return of just $4.78.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The RED SOX (-1.5, -110) are a much better value on the run line than eating all of that chalk on the moneyline. Even with OF Mookie Betts now playing his baseball in Los Angeles with the Dodgers, the Red Sox have more than enough firepower to put away the Orioles in the ultra-competitive AL East. Boston’s bats were certainly alive and well in Game 1.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 10.5 (-110) is the play here. Cobb could be rather rusty while making his first start since late April 2019, and Perez is always very hittable and yields plenty of runs. It wouldn’t be surprising to see a run total well into the double digits.

Orioles at Red Sox: Projected starting pitchers

LHP Tommy Milone vs. RHP Nathan Eovaldi

The journeyman southpaw Milone posted a dismal 4-10 record with a 4.76 ERA and 94 strikeouts last season for the Seattle Mariners.

  • Milone hasn’t faced the Red Sox since 2016. That might be a good thing, as he was hammered for eight runs – four earned – on 10 hits in just 4 2/3 innings in a loss at Fenway Park as a member of the Minnesota Twins July 24, 2016.
  • The southpaw was actually better on the road than at home last season. Away from Seattle, he was 3-4 with a respectable 3.91 ERA across 50 2/3 innings over two starts and nine relief appearances. However, he was 1-6 with a 5.56 ERA at home.

Eovaldi struggled with a 2-1 record, 5.99 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with 70 strikeouts and 35 walks across 12 starts and 11 relief appearances in ’19.

  • Eovaldi was tagged for eight earned runs on six hits and seven walks with just four strikeouts in seven innings across two starts vs. Baltimore last year, going 0-1 with a 10.29 ERA.
  • He also didn’t fare well at Fenway Park last season, going 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA, 29 K’s and 22 walks across 30 innings over five starts and seven relief showings.

Red Sox

  • 2B Dustin Pedroia is on the 45-day injured list, as he had a setback during his left knee injury rehab.

Orioles at Red Sox: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Red Sox 6, Orioles 4

Moneyline (ML)

The Orioles (+180) might be a tempting play on the road, but AVOID. The Red Sox (-209) are heavily favored for a reason, even if they’re expected to be a mediocre team overall. Boston is 14-6 in their past 20 at home vs. Baltimore, and 35-16 in the previous 51 meetings overall.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Red Sox (-209) to win straight up nets a return of just $4.78.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The RED SOX (-1.5, -115) are a better play, albeit make it just a small-unit wager. Boston is not expected to be a championship-caliber team, but Baltimore is likely to be terrible again. The BoSox might get off to a fast start against their overwhelmed rivals.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 9.5 (-110) is worth playing, but don’t get carried away with a big bet. The starting pitchers are pretty horrendous in this one, and we could see both sides go to the bullpen early. As such, the offenses for both sides could get off to a bit of a quick start.
