The New York Yankees will win tonight in the Bronx against the Kansas City Royals. Max Fried, who is 2-0 with a 1.56 ERA, is on the hill for the Bombers. Enough said.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The Toronto Blue Jays will open a 3-game set tonight with the Atlanta Braves at Rogers Centre. Atlanta is 4-11 on the season, a dismal 1-9 on the road, and if that doesn’t warrant a manager firing, I don’t know what does. Toronto is 5-2 at home and is expected to have Easton Lucas on the hill. Lucas has been delivering, with a record of 2-0, no earned runs, and a WHIP of only 0.68.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS

The Seattle Mariners are going for a sweep of the Texas Rangers today at T-Mobile Park but that is not going to happen. The best skipper in the game, Bruce Bochy, will have Nathan Eovaldi on the hill for the Rangers. Eovaldi has a 2.29 ERA and a 0.66 WHIP. Unlike other managers in the majors, Bochy will not pull the pitcher after 5 innings if he is producing. Look for Eovaldi to go deep in the game.
TODAY’S PICK: TEXAS RANGERS

The St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies will play the middle game of their 3-game set today at Busch. Miles Mikolas is expected to be on the hill for the Cards. Mikolas has an ERA of 11.25 (and that is not a typo) with a 2.00 WHIP. Harper and company are going to light this guy up.
TODAY’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

The Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox will open a 3-game set tonight on the south side. Chicago has lost 8 straight but will get back on the rails tonight. Southpaw Sean Newcomb is expected on the hill for Boston and his numbers are not good. Newcomb is 0-1 with a 5.18 ERA, a bloated 2.18 WHIP, and the White Sox are 4-0 in their last 4 home games against a left-handed starter.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CHICAGO WHITE SOX

The Toronto Blue Jays will go for a 4-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox today at Fenway. The Jays have outscored the Red Sox 14-4 over the first 3 and are expected to have Chris Bassitt on the hill. Bassitt has been outstanding, with an ERA of only 0.71 and a 1.11 WHIP over 12 innings of work. It’s hard to sweep on the road but Toronto has it in them.
TODAY’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS

The Atlanta Braves will be hosting the Philadelphia Phillies tonight at Truist Park. The expected starters are Zack Wheeler for the Phillies and Chris Sale for the Braves. Wheeler has been dealing. Over 13 innings of work he as an ERA of just 1.38 and a WHIP barely visible at 0.54. The reigning NL Cy Young winner, Sale, has gotten off to a rocky start, owning a 5.40 ERA over 10 innings of work. The Braves are averaging under 3 runs per game and that doesn’t bode well for them with Wheeler on the hill.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
