After getting absolutely burnt last friday, including giving up a 3 run walk off homerun to not cover +1.5 with the Rockies, I stand at a wonderful 2- 7. I must be due. I am taking this week off series predictions but staying on the Friday night picks.

White Sox/A’s over 9 – I still am a believer in the White Sox even though they are not in the greatest offensive standpoint this year. Against Civale at Sutter Health, I still think they can bang runs out. The Athletics offense can explode at any moment as well, especially coming off the White Sox blown game yesterday. The White Sox used and burned everyone of their best relievers. Give me the over.

Rangers/Mariners First 5 Innings under 3.5 – deGrom vs Logan Gilbert. What more needs to be said. An absolute ace off. The Mariners are also struggling to hit this far into the season. Give me the aces to do their thing.

Braves/Phillies over 9.5 – Both the Phillies and the Braves offense has started to heat up recently. Taijuan Walker vs Martin Perez, I would fade both anyday. Wind blowing out. Give me the runs. And sprinkle Michael Harris homerun with a .444 average and 2 bombs off Taijuan.
