The Atlanta Braves will go for a 3-game sweep over the Miami Marlins tonight at Truist Park and should get it done. The Braves are a scoring machine, averaging 6 runs per game, and will be facing Sixto Sánchez. He is 0-1 with a 6.14 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP. Atlanta will send Reynaldo Sánchez to the hill and he will keep Miami’s scoring to a minimum or maybe none at all. Sánchez is 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ATLANTA BRAVES
Tuesday MLB Pick
The Baltimore Orioles took game 1 of their 3-game set from the Los Angeles Angels last night at Angel Stadium. Tonight the O’s should make it two straight because Grayson Rodriguez is on the hill for the Orioles. He is 3-0 with a 2.63 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. On the flip side, the Angels are expected to have Griffin Canning on the hill. Canning is 0-3 with a bloated ERA of 8.05 and a 1.58 WHIP. Gunnar Henderson and company should be able to get to this guy.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BALTIMORE ORIOLES
Monday MLB Pick
The New York Yankees should have no problem taking care of business today against the Oakland Athletics in the Bronx. The 15-7 Bombers will have southpaw Carlos Rodón on the hill. Rodón is 1-1 with a 3.66 ERA. The 8-14 Athletics are expected to have JP Sears tapping the rubber. He comes in at 1-1 with a 4.36 ERA. New York is averaging just shy of 5 runs per game and Oakland is under 3. The Yankees are a team that wants to win while the A’s just want to jump ship and get to Vegas — and you can’t trust a team like that. The Yankees won’t come cheap but buck up.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
Sunday NHL Pick
The Tampa Bay Lightning will be a big dog today when they open the Eastern Conference first round against the Florida Panthers in Sunrise and that suits me just fine. The Bolts are dangerous. They have the league’s top scorer, Nikita Kucherov, with Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point, and the Big Cat, Andrei Vasilevskiy, in net. They can beat these guys and did so in their last meeting, 5-3.
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Saturday MLB Pick
The Cleveland Guardians whacked the lowly Oakland Athletics last night, 10-2, and why should tonight be any different?
TONIGHT’S PICK: CLEVELAND GUARDIANS
Friday MLB Pick
Last night’s game between the Miami Marlins and the Chicago Cubs was postponed due to rain. The game will be played today. Nothing has changed from yesterday’s blog and the pitcher matchups remain the same.
TODAY’S PICK: CHICAGO CUBS
Thursday MLB Pick
The Chicago Cubs will open a 4-game set tonight on the north side with the Miami Marlins. Tonight’s expected starters are Jameson Taillon for Chicago and A.J. Puck for Miami. Taillon is making his season debut for the Cubs. The big guy can throw heat and is 2-0 in his career against the Marlins with an ERA of only 0.54. Puk is a career reliever and should still be in that roll. As a starter, he is 0-3 with a 5.91 ERA. The Cubs are the side to consider.
