Grabbing This Early

Braves have a quality starter tonight and a HUGE bullpen edge. They will score runs. Let’s play that their runs will be enough

Nester Cortez has an edge over Bryce Miller. I get the Yanks to have their full 5 innings….

Hello is good…the Rays are bad v Rightys. I’ll play him to go out in the sixth

So we have the Mendoza Line in MLB, which is hitting below .200. I'm aiming to get the (Marty) Maldonado Line part of the lexicon. I mean, bro is hitting .093. On the road, he's 3-for-38 with 18 strikeouts. His slugging is less than his OBP. Can't remember that from a non-pitcher. Marty Moose from Wally World -- I better not have to say what movie that's from and if you don't know, unfollow me on Twitter, LOL. "Sorry Folks!" -- would hit better in the Show. We are gonna lose one of these soon, but I'm on auto-bet.

Justin Steele got rocked by the Pirates in each of his last two starts, including surrendering five home runs. That's a problem coming into a matchup with Marcell Ozuna, who has 14 home runs and an active 14-game hitting streak as well as better numbers against lefties than righties. He homered in both games of Monday's doubleheader before a 'quiet' 1-for-4 game yesterday and he's only +250 to homer today, but I like taking the Over on his total bases prop instead.

Ryan Pepiot will come off of the IL to start against the Red Sox after forgoing rehab outings and instead opting for a 45 pitch bullpen session last Friday. The simulated work was three full innings with an up and down and Pepiot said he feels great so I don’t anticipate much restrictions within his five innings. I say it that way because Kevin Cash said he expects about 5 IP for Pepiot and after the bullpen session, I would imagine about 70 pitches is the deepest he could go here, if not shorter. Getting plus odds to the under 5.5 K's here looks to me like as good a spot to fade a guy in a start we know he will see limited work.

The Phillies are on a 16-3 run, with just one nine-inning loss in May. The Rangers have been scuffling, going 2-8 in their last 10 and scoring no more than four runs in any game in that stretch despite a series in Colorado. For comparison, Philadelphia has failed to score four just three times in their last 32 games. Sure, the Phillies have Taijuan Walker on the mound, but is that enough to justify these odds when Dane Dunning is returning from IL with no rehab stint and the Texas bullpen has a 5.15 ERA? I don't think so.
