The MLB trade deadline is a week from Tuesday and it looks to be a rather robust market with half the league not even trying to hide their intentions to tank the rest of the way to land as high a draft pick as possible. So it’s a good time to start fading those teams as they will sell off pieces and start playing young guys. Here’s a look at two interesting matchups this week for you all MLB betting enthusiasts.

The Mets also are likely to deal second baseman, Asdrubal Cabrera. The Brewers, Indians, and Phillies are among the teams interested in him. The 32-year-old is set to hit free agency at season’s end and is almost certain to be flipped before the end of the month. He’s having a fine offensive season.Lefty Steven Matz (4-8, 3.65) is scheduled to start on the mound here. He lost Saturday at the Yankees, allowing five runs on nine hits. Matz didn’t get into any real trouble until the fourth inning, when he was knocked around for four runs on five hits, including three straight extra-base hits. He was pulled with no outs in the sixth inning after allowing another run on back-to-back hits.Pittsburgh counters with rookie Nick Kingham (5-4, 4.11). Kingham limited the Reds to two runs over 6 1/3 innings in a win Saturday. Kingham gave up four hits and two walks while striking out three, with only a Curt Casali two-run homer in the seventh inning marring his line. Kingham has now won three straight starts — all quality starts.
