MLB Odds and Picks: Pitchers to Back in the Week 8

MLB Odds and Picks: Pitchers to Back in the Week 8

With so many games on the MLB schedule in a given week, it can be tough to know where to begin when making wagers. One of the first places where many bettors start is by looking at the pitching matchups for the week. There are always pairings that look to be something of a mismatch, but we are all well aware that this is not the only thing you should take into account when betting on baseball. It’s nice to have an in-form pitcher on the mound, but it can mean nothing if the bats are cold. What we are going to do here is look at the next few days and the pitchers that could well be worth looking at when it comes time to bet on the MLB, so let’s go ahead and do that.

 

MLB Pitchers to Back after Week 7 of the season | MLB Lines by MyBookie

 

Nathan Eovaldi
Texas Rangers

Given that he is coming off a loss in his last start versus the Atlanta Braves, where he had an ERA of 3.86, there may be some who would pass on Eovaldi. That is not the case for me, though, as I think he has a bounce back game on Tuesday night against the slumping Pittsburgh Pirates. Prior to the loss last time out, Eovaldi went on a 3-game tear, pitching in 25.2 innings and failing to give up a single run. I like him to get back to that type of form in his next start, which is why I have him on this list.

Bryce Miller
Seattle Mariners

Honestly, at this stage of the proceedings, taking any pitcher starting against the hapless Oakland A’s seems like a good idea, but I am particularly high on Bryce Miller of the Seattle Mariners, who is scheduled to start against the A’s on Wednesday night. He took his first loss of the season in his last outing, which came against the hard-hitting Atlanta Braves, but his numbers are still amazing. He is 2-1 through 4 starts with an ERA of just 1.42. In the 3 games he started before that loss, he gave up just 1 earned run. I think he will mow down the Oakland batters.

Lucas Giolito
Chicago White Sox

Of the pitchers listed in this article, Giolito probably has the poorest stats of the lot, but I still think he is worth a look in his next start, which is scheduled for Thursday night against the Detroit Tigers. The Sox lost 3 of his last 4 starts, before he pitched a beauty in his last outing. That one came in a 5-1 win over the Kansas City Royals, where Giolito pitched 6 innings and had an ERA of 1.50. That felt like a bit of a turning point in his season, so I am prepared to play him again in his next start.

Chris Sale
Boston Red Sox

Okay, this is another one that may not seem like an obvious pick, especially when you see that Sale has an ERA of 5.01 right now. Yes, that’s a good deal higher than what we would like, but he still finds ways to get a win, which is why he is at 4-2 on the season. He is also coming off a win, where he had an ERA of 2.57, with the Red Sox winning in 3 of his last 4 starts. Sale might just be getting in a groove, so I am going to take a shot here.

 

I have read enough, I need to place my bet now. What to do?
