Pick 1: D-backs (-105) vs Yankees
Matchup Preview - Game Time: 3:40 pm ET
The D-backs finally broke the Yankees' undefeated streak Tuesday after five games, shutting the Bombers out 7-0. And now an intriguing pitching matchup has me backing Arizona again Wednesday.
I'm not yet sold on Carlos Rodon. He fared well in spring, but looked a tad shaky in his first regular-season start, pitching 4.1 IP, allowing five hits, one run, and three walks. I'm convinced the D-backs will tee off on him. Arizona owns a 1.001 OPS vs left-handers this season, the second-highest OPS in MLB.
On the other end, Merrill Kelly can shut things down or at least keep this bet close until Arizona's offense can make a dent.
Pick 2: OVER 8.5 Runs (-105) Giants vs Dodgers
Matchup Preview - Game Time: 10:10 pm ET
An A-grade pitching matchup between Kyle Harrison and Tyler Glasnow takes place Wednesday, but why does that guarantee an OVER? Good question.
Well, every single Giants game has hit the OVER so far this season. Matt Chapman and Michael Conforto are hitting very well, and the G-Men's rotation has been knocked around a bit.
I expect the Dodgers to break Harrison Wednesday, perhaps early in the ball game. L.A. has the best lineup in baseball and is 5-2-1 O/U/P this year.
