While we are at the stage of the MLB season where we really stary paying attention to the playoff standings, it’s also a good time to start thinking about which players might win the individual awards. While winning a Cy Young or an MVP is great, most players will tell you that they would sooner have a World Series ring than an individual accolade. We still have a lot of baseball to come before we get all the playoff spots and awards decided, so all we can do for now is take things day by day and week by week. With that in mind, we are going to look at the games for the next few days and pick out 4 pitchers that we believe would be a good MLB bet, either in fantasy, or for the team they play for, so let’s get to it.

MLB Top Pitchers after Week 19 of the season | MLB Lines by MyBookie

MLB Week 19: Monday August 14 – Sunday August 20, 2023

Bailey Ober

Minnesota Twins | #17
Bats: Right / Throws: Right

The Minnesota Twins have the lead in the Central Division and are now 4 ½ games up on the chasing pack. They have a series against the Detroit Tigers, who they lead by 9 games, this week and can essentially take them out of the conversation by winning the series. Tuesday night will see the Twins send Bailey Ober to the mound. This is actually the 3rd time that he will have faced the Tigers this season, including going against them in his last start. Ober took the loss in that one, but he also beat the Tigers earlier in the season, which is what I think he does on Tuesday night.

Luis Castillo

Seattle Mariners | #58
Bats: Right / Throws: Right

The Seattle Mariners are likely going to end the year with a winning season, but will that be enough to get them into the Wild Card? Things are looking rather grim at the moment, especially when you consider that they are currently enduring a 3-game losing skid. A series against the Kansas City Royals might be just what the doctor ordered, and I particularly like them on Wednesday night with Castillo on the mound. Castillo has been a little up and down, but he is coming off a great performance last time out, plus Seattle has won in each of his last 3 starts.

Tarik Skubal

Detroit Tigers | #29
Bats: Right / Throws: Left

It’s pretty slim pickings on Thursday, as we have a rather quiet MLB schedule going on. There are a couple of pitchers that I like here, though, and I am opting to ride with Skubal of the Detroit Tigers. He has only made 7 starts this season, but he seems to be settling down after a rough start that saw the Tigers lose in each of his first 3 starts of the year. He followed up a stellar performance against the Rays with a loss last time out against the Red Sox, but I like him to bounce back on Thursday against Cleveland.

Spencer Strider

Atlanta Braves | #99
Bats: Right / Throws: Right

The Atlanta Braves are definitely headed to the playoffs and look like one of the favorites to end the year with a championship win. They look like a team with very few weaknesses, so they are going to be tough to beat. The pitching has been great, with Spencer Strider in parti looking strong. He has gone 13-4 to this point in the season, although he has been a little up and down of late. That said, his last outing was a gem, giving up 0 ER in 7 full innings. Look for another big performance on Friday.
