Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Yankees Mariners prediction and pick.</p><p>Gerrit Cole takes the bump for the Yankees, while Luis Castillo goes to the mound for the Mariners.</p><p>Gerrit Cole gave up more runs in the first inning of last week’s start against the Mariners than in any other inning of his MLB career. Cole allowed six runs, the product of three different home runs. Eugenio Suarez, Carlos Santana, and Jerred Kelenic all hit no-doubters against him in Yankee Stadium. The Yankees were down six runs before anyone’s seat was warm. This is obviously a moment for Cole to bounce back, regroup, and show that he is still an ace-level pitcher. He has had some rocky starts this season other than the one against the Mariners. He was similarly rocked for multiple home runs by the Twins several weeks ago. Cole started slowly out of the blocks in April. He needs to show that he can be the dominant stopper the Yankees will need in October. This game is an important measuring stick for him, given what happened last week in New York.</p><p>Luis Castillo opposed Cole last Wednesday in Yankee Stadium. Getting six runs in the first inning is something he can’t get used to. He knows each pitch in this game is likely to carry a lot more pressure. Castillo wasn’t spectacular in his Mariner debut last week. He gave up a few runs and didn’t have supreme command, but with a six-run lead, Castillo did not need to be perfect. He did a very good job of protecting that fat lead. Assuming Cole pitches well in this game, Castillo will have to make a lot of important pitches in which the Yankees will try to take the lead or tie. Castillo, not just Cole, has a lot to prove in this game.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Yankees-Mariners</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Yankees-Mariners Odds</b></h2><p>New York Yankees: -1.5 (+126)</p><p>Seattle Mariners: +1.5 (-152)</p><p>Over: 7 (-108)</p><p>Under: 7 (-112)</p><h2><b>Why The Yankees Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Yankees’ bats woke up on Sunday in St. Louis. They remained thunderous on Monday in Seattle, and this time, they got solid pitching to go along with it. Now that the Yankees have finally snapped their annoyingly long losing streak (at five games), maybe everyone will relax and get back to playing quality baseball, which is what we saw with this team in the first three months of the season. The Yankees punched the Mariners in the mouth, and now Gerrit Cole will try to avenge last week’s disaster. He should be up to the task.</p><h2><b>Why The Mariners Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After last week’s horrible outing by Gerrit Cole against the Mariners, many people are going to think that Cole will be a lot better this time versus Seattle. Those folks are going to be right … but if Cole is a lot better than last week, that could still mean he will give up two or three runs in this game. If that happens, Luis Castillo could shut out the Yankees and bring home a 2-0 or 3-0 win. The Mariners won a series last week against the Yankees. More specifically, they lost Game 1 on a Monday and then won on Tuesday and Wednesday. That could happen this week as well. Also: Matt Carpenter fractured his foot and will be out for this game.</p><h2><b>Final Yankees-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>One should expect Cole and Castillo to both pitch better than they did last week. Cole, though, has more to prove and will probably be a little sharper. The Yankees should be able to find enough runs to win, probably be a 3-1 score.</p><p><b>Final Yankees-Mariners Prediction &amp; Pick: Yankees -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Check out our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/" rel="noopener">MLB odds series</a> for our Twins Dodgers prediction and pick.</p><p>Joe Ryan will start for the Twins, while Julio Urias will take the hill for the Dodgers.</p><p>Joe Ryan has a 3.67 ERA, which certainly isn’t terrible, but not as good as he or the Twins probably expected. Ryan had a 2.28 ERA for the season on May 21. He then missed three and a half weeks due to injury. Some pitchers come back stronger after an injury layoff. Ryan came back less effective. His June ERA, albeit in only three starts, was 5.74. In July, he pitched better than he did in June. He delivered three solid starts and one average outing. Entering a July 29 game against the Padres, his ERA for the year was at 2.89, which was very strong, but .61 runs higher than the May 21 number.</p><p>In that game against the Padres, before San Diego acquired Juan Soto, Ryan got destroyed. He allowed 10 runs in 4 2/3 innings. So, that 3.67 ERA is a little bloated, but mostly because of one disastrous start, and not because of a lot of mediocre starts. We should consider Ryan a three-run ERA pitcher, which isn’t ace territory, but is certainly solid for a division contender.</p><p>Julio Urias has a 2.57 ERA. On July 10 against the Cubs, he got only six outs and gave up five runs. Since then, he has been lights-out. In his last four starts, all after that disaster versus Chicago, he has pitched 26 innings and allowed only three runs. One can make an argument that Tony Gonsolin is the Dodgers’ best starting pitcher in 2022, but Urias is probably going to be the team’s Game 1 starter in the playoffs. He is a supremely reliable pitcher who has multiple out pitches and can get hitters to chase out of the strike zone.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Twins-Dodgers</i></b><b><i> MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Twins-Dodgers Odds</b></h2><p>Minnesota Twins: +1.5 (-111)</p><p>Los Angeles Dodgers: -1.5 (-108)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-102)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-120)</p><h2><b>Why The Twins Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Twins just split a tough four-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. They might be just six games over .500, but they have battled good teams on relatively even terms this season. Joe Ryan certainly gives them a very good chance of winning. His ERA has been under three runs most of the year. Don’t let that one horrible start in San Diego – which blew up his ERA — allow you to discount his ability in this game.</p><p>What also has to be said is that the Dodgers, who are ridiculously hot, are bound to cool off at some point. Remember: This team is 1-5 against the Pittsburgh Pirates this year. Baseball is a funny game, and it boomerangs back in your face just when you think you’ve figured it out.</p><h2><b>Why The Dodgers Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>Julio Urias is locked in. He is pitching brilliantly and consistently, and it’s going to be hard for the Twins to score a lot of runs against him. Meanwhile, the Dodger trio of Trea Turner, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman has been playing great baseball in recent weeks. When those three guys are balling, the Dodgers simply aren’t going to lose.</p><h2><b>Final Twins-Dodgers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>If the Dodgers lose here, so be it. Los Angeles has been printing money over the past five weeks, losing only five games since July 1. The Dodgers are 33-8 in their last 41 games. Urias is dealing. The Twins’ offense is inconsistent. You don’t have to overthink this one.</p><p><b>Final Twins-Dodgers Prediction &amp; Pick: Dodgers -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His most recent outing was against Oakland last week in Anaheim. He pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs against the A’s on Aug. 3. He wasn’t dominant, but a pitching line like that should usually be good enough to win. Naturally, in this miserable, lost season for the Halos, it wasn’t. That’s because of the pitcher we are going to talk about next:</p><p>James Kaprielian has a 4.32 ERA, but he knows how to beat the Halos. He beat Ohtani on Aug. 3, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing one run versus the Angels last week.</p><p>We previewed that Ohtani-Kaprielian game on Aug. 3. Here’s what we wrote about Kaprielian and Oakland pitching in general:</p><p>“James Kaprielian has a 1.02 ERA and 10.7 strikeouts per nine innings in three career starts against the Angels. The A’s pitchers are very underrated if only because they get very little run support and play in front of tiny crowds for a team going nowhere. The A’s can certainly limit the Angels’ bats.”</p><p>What happened Monday night in the first game of this series in Oakland? The A’s shut down the Angels, holding them to one run … and they lost, 1-0. Kaprielian might be a generally mediocre pitcher, but when he faces the Angls, he’s a Cy Young candidate. As for the amount of run support he’ll get, that’s a separate question.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener"><b><i>Courtesy of FanDuel</i></b></a><b><i>, here are the Angels-Athletics </i></b><b><i>MLB odds.</i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds</b><b>: Angels-Athletics Odds</b></h2><p>Los Angeles Angels: -1.5 (-104)</p><p>Oakland Athletics: +1.5 (-115)</p><p>Over: 6.5 (-120)</p><p>Under: 6.5 (-102)</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>The Angels really do seem to be bouncing back — not to the extent that they will be a playoff contender, not to the extent that they should be taken seriously in 2023, but at least to the extent that they won’t be an automatic betting underdog and a likely loser of each game they play. This team split four games in Seattle over the weekend. It beat the A’s 1-0 on Monday and got a great performance from Jose Suarez. Where did that come from? The Angels are playing with more intensity. In previous weeks, they looked utterly deflated. They also have Shohei Ohtani on the mound. Is Ohtani really going to lose to James Kaprielian twice in a week? That’s doubtful.</p><h2><b>Why The Athletics Could Cover the Spread</b></h2><p>After getting shut out on Monday, the A’s are going to have better at-bats on Tuesday. They also know that James Kaprielian simply has the Angels’ number. It’s one of those mysteries you can’t easily explain, but Kaprielian keeps performing extremely well when he faces the Halos. He beat Ohtani last week. He can certainly do it again in a pitcher-friendly Oakland ballpark.</p><h2><b>Final Angels-Athletics Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The idea that James Kaprielian will outpitch Shohei Ohtani twice in one week is hard to bet on, and easy to bet against. The over 6.5 is tempting, but the Angels are the even better play.</p><p><b>Final Angels-Athletics Prediction &amp; Pick: Angels -1.5</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Last year, the Cardinals looked like one of the best teams that the NFL had to offer before fizzling out and falling flat on their faces. With the start of 2022 offering a fresh start and a blank canvas to right their wrongs, the Arizona Cardinals are more than ready to get back on the gridiron. Join us for FanDuel’s 2022 over-under win totals, where our Arizona Cardinals over/under win total <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/betting/">prediction and pick</a> will be revealed.</p><p>In his third year as the Cardinals’ field general, it appeared that Kyler Murray has begun his transformation into an NFL superstar at the quarterback position. Leading his squad to a 7-0 record before a gut-wrenching last-second loss at home versus the Packers single handily changed the course of the season in a blink of an eye, Arizona seemed like a clear Super Bowl favorite in the NFC up until they weren’t.</p><p>After an uncharacteristic home blowout loss to Carolina followed by embarrassing losses to Detroit and Indianapolis, Arizona limped into the playoffs as a Wild Card team. It didn’t take long for viewers inside the stadium and at home to realize that their season was soon to come to an end to the eventual Super Bowl Champion and division rivals in the Los Angeles Rams. Simply put, the Cardinals ran out of gas in the most shocking of ways.</p><p><i><b>Here are the 2022 NFL odds, <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl">courtesy of FanDuel</a>.</b></i></p><h2><b>2022 NFL Odds: Arizona Cardinals Over/Under Win Total Odds</b></h2><p>Arizona Cardinals:</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-110)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-110)</p><h2><b>Why The Cardinals Will Win 8.5 Games</b></h2><p>To begin, the Cardinals smoothed things out with their star QB and signed Murray to a five-year, $230,500,000 million dollar contract extension that will keep the field general a Cardinal until at least the 2028 season. Securing Murray long-term was always the main priority for the Arizona organization, and now with him donning the red and white for many years to come, the Cardinals can truly begin to build around him.</p><p>Some of this has already come into fruition this offseason, as Arizona went out and made a draft-day trade to acquire Murray’s former OU teammate in Marquise “Hollywood” Brown from Baltimore. This proved to be an extremely smart move, as star wideout DeAndre Hopkins, was suspended for six games due to violating the Performance-Enhancing Drugs policy. Additionally, the Cardinals also re-signed the reliable Zach Ertz at the tight-end position to tag team with Mackey Award winner Trey McBride out of Colorado State. Not to mention, but they even bolstered their offensive line up front by adding guard Will Hernandez, who was a strong playmaker for the Giants in his four years there. Clearly, the conclusion of the 2021 season left a bad taste in the front office’s mouth and they knew that there were plenty of moves that needed to be made.</p><p>Obviously, the Rams are expected to be a team that could compete for a chance at another Super Bowl, but the Niners will be entering the year with an unknown Trey Lance and the Seahawks no longer have Russell Wilson. This gives Arizona a splendid chance at securing the number two spot in the division.</p><h2><b>Why The Cardinals Won’t Win 8.5 Games</b></h2><p>Kliff Kingsbury. While the young and charming head coach strives for himself with an innovative offensive style, it is safe to say that 2022 is a do-or-die season in his fourth season as Arizona’s headman. Kingsbury certainly has an impressive resume under his belt, as he served as the offensive quality control coach when Case Keenum was breaking records at Houston, was the offensive coordinator for Johnny Manziel at Texas A&amp;M, and even coached Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech before bolting for the NFL.</p><p>Unfortunately, in almost every team he has been a part of, they have crumbled late in the season in the most disastrous of ways. Whether this occurred during his coaching days at Texas Tech or last season with the Cardinals, Kingsbury’s track record of starting off hot only to fizzle out come wintertime is troublesome. In 2019, Arizona started off a respectable 3-3-1 before falling off a cliff by going 2-7 the rest of the way. The same thing happened in 2020 when the Cardinals seemed destined for postseason play before losing five of seven after going 6-3 to start off the season. These disturbing patterns can also be traced back to Texas Tech when Kingsbury would get off to amazing starts in September and October before falling short in November and December.</p><p>While Arizona was finally able to make it to the playoffs last season, this roster is talented enough to make a deep run come postseason time. It is time that Kingsbury proves himself. If he cannot, then the Cardinals are in serious jeopardy of not reaching 8.5 wins and the 43-year-old hot shot will need to find a new home elsewhere.</p><h2><b>Final Cardinals Win Total Prediction </b></h2><p>After posting an 11-6 record last season, it is hard to imagine that the Cardinals will take an extremely large step back. With many of the same players on the roster from a year ago, Arizona is determined to finish what they started.</p><p><b>Final Cardinals Win Total Prediction: </b>Over 8.5 (-110)</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now with Russell Wilson under center and many talented pieces in store to be a competitive football team in 2022, expectations are as high as ever for this football team. It is time to take a look at our FanDuel’s 2022 NFL over/under win total odds, where our Denver Broncos prediction and pick will be made.</p><p>It’s been a long six years since Peyton Manning rode off into the sunset after winning Super Bowl 50 against the Panthers, as the City of Denver has seen their Broncos miss out on the playoffs in each season since. Thirteen starting quarterbacks have tried to replicate Peyton as Denver’s signal caller since his departure in 2015, and all have failed miserably. Since 2015, Denver has combined for a 39-58 record, which stands as one of the worst records in the league over that six-year stretch. However, the over/under win total is currently set at 9.5 wins, which would be the highest mark for the team in quite some time. Buckle up Broncos fans!</p><p><i><b>Here are the 2022 NFL odds, <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl">courtesy of FanDuel</a>.</b></i></p><h2><b>2022 NFL Odds: Broncos Over/Under Win Total Odds</b></h2><p>Denver Broncos:</p><p>Over: 9.5 (-135)</p><p>Under: 9.5 (+115)</p><h2><b>Why The Broncos Will Win 9.5 Games</b></h2><p>In shocking news, Denver shipped QB Drew Lock, DL Shelby Harris, TE Noah Fant, and five overall draft picks to Seattle for the nine-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl XLVIII Champion. In seasons prior, the rumblings in and outside of Denver were that they had a competitive overall roster and that they were only a quarterback away from being true contenders in the AFC. Fast forward all these years later, and the Broncos have seemingly transformed themselves from bottom-dwellers into Super Bowl hopefuls overnight. While there are surprisingly more skeptics than one would think about Russell Wilson and his season performance from a year ago when he battled a finger injury, Wilson never had a losing record as QB of the Seattle Seahawks prior to last season.</p><p>Not to mention, General Manager George Paton has done a remarkable job in just a little over a season in that position. R Last year, Paton decided to pass on drafting a quarterback and instead selecting CB Patrick Surtain II in the first round. Drafting Surtain was the first of many bold moves by the new GM, as the risks are proving to pay off for Mr. Paton and his organization. With a complete defense and the expected emergence of Jerry Jeudy and others on the offensive side of the ball, anything short of a playoff berth will be a disappointment to Broncos Country.</p><h2><b>Why The Broncos Won’t Win 9.5 Games</b></h2><p>Only about a week ago, Denver was dealt with some devastating news as WR Tim Patrick went down in practice with an ACL injury. After tests concluded that Patrick has torn his ACL, it was a reminder of how fragile life in the NFL can be. With Patrick done for the season, it has now been three consecutive seasons that a Broncos wideout has been hit with a knee injury. Last season, it was K.J. Hamler, and the season prior happened to be Courtland Sutton’s turn. The loss of Patrick will be a tough pill to swallow for Denver, as the Utah Utes product arguably was the Broncos’ most productive receiver from a year ago.</p><p>Another reason the Broncos may not reach the 9.5 win total mark will be in large part due to having a first-year coach. Not only will new coach Nathaniel Hackett be coaching for the Broncos for the first time, but he has yet to be an NFL head coach at any point in his coaching career. Hackett was the Packers’ offensive coordinator from 2019-2021 and quickly became a favorite among Aaron Rodgers. While Hackett is surely to install some of his Packers plays and formations into the Broncos’ playbook, making the transition from a coordinator to a head coach isn’t for everyone.</p><p>Lastly, the Broncos are unfortunately a part of an AFC West that experts are calling the greatest division that football has ever seen. In fact, the AFC West is so loaded that many analysts have picked Denver to finish last behind the Chiefs, Chargers, and Raiders. Facing off with Mahomes, Herbert, and Carr eight times a season won’t do this team any favors.</p><h2><b>Final Broncos Win Total Prediction </b></h2><p>After finishing 7-10 in 2021, Russell Wilson is more than capable of getting the Broncos to 10 wins this season Yes, Wilson’s stats don’t jump out at you from a year ago, but his injured finger hindered him greatly for most of the campaign. Not to mention, but Russ was the best quarterback in the NFL during the first half of the 2020 season and was a clear-cut finalist for the MVP award before the Seahawks faltered late. With an easy schedule to start things off in 2022, the Broncos will finish 11-6 en route to a Wild Card berth in a competitive AFC Conference.</p><p><b>Final Broncos Win Total Prediction: </b>Over 9.5 (-135)</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/betting/">series</a> with a Giants-Padres prediction and pick.</p><p>The Giants took the first game of the series last night with a 1-0 victory in San Diego. Alex Wood pitched a gem against the new-look Padres as they try and gain ground on them in the standings. SF improved to (54-55) which is good for third in the NL West. The Padres have now lost five straight and are (1-5) in the Juan Soto era. This is a shock. Even though Fernando Tatis Jr. has yet to debut for the Padres this season, this lineup is stacked. The Padres haven’t scored a run since Saturday night in the loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Giants-Padres MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Giants-Padres Odds</b></h2><p>San Francisco Giants: +1.5 (-137)</p><p>San Diego Padres: -1.5 (+114)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-104)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-118)</p><h2><b>Why The Giants Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Starting for the Giants tonight is right-hander Alex Cobb. Cobb is enjoying a solid campaign with a 4.08 ERA in 88 innings this season. The Giants find a way to get quality starts out of their starters and even though Cobb is on the backend of the rotation, he can go out there a dominate if needed. It’s an odd situation as he faces a tough team, but could go out and pitch well once again with the Friars struggling. Cobb allowed three runs to the Dodgers in his last start but allowed only one to the Cubs the start prior.</p><p>The lineup for the Giants is a problem. With Darin Ruf now a New York Met, the lineup got even worse. It’s a shock they didn’t trade Joc Pederson either as they could have gotten some elite young talent for him. Despite all that, they found a way to outhit the Padres in Game 1 and will need to do the same if they want to cover this spread.</p><h2><b>Why The Padres Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Pitching for the Padres is 2022 All-Star Joe Musgrove. Musgrove has not won a game since June 16. I know wins and losses aren’t a pitchers’ stat, but that is a long time. The Padres are (1-7) since his last win and his (8-0) record moved to (8-5) and his 1.50 ERA moved up to 3.00. The right-hander is struggling right now but saw success against the Giants the last time they met. He pitched seven innings allowing just one hit and had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning. If no-no Joe can get back on track tonight then the Padres should cover this spread.</p><p>I said “should” for a reason. The Padres offense is horrific right now. They haven’t scored in 23 straight innings even though the lineup has gotten a lot better. And I mean a lot better. Juan Soto is now in San Diego alongside Manny Machado and Jake Cronenworth. Josh Bell and Brandon Drury came with and the lineup has a ton of pop. In last night’s game, Brandon Crawford threw a dart to home to tag out Drury to keep the scoreless streak alive. Drury was initially ruled safe but the replay showed he was tagged out before touching the plate. That play was as close as it gets.</p><p>The offense needs to figure out a way to string together some hits so they can score runs against a sub-.500 team.</p><h2><b>Final Giants-Padres Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Musgrove should be on his game but betting on the Padres isn’t a smart move right now. Take the Giants to cover this spread because it should be a close game.</p><p><b>Final Giants-Padres Prediction &amp; Pick: Giants +1.5 (-137)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It is time to take a sneak peek at our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, where our Cardinals-Rockies prediction and pick will be made.</p><p>Here come the Red Birds! With a seven-game winning streak under their belts including a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees over the weekend, St. Louis is without a doubt playing their best ball of the season. Now, the Cardinals sit alone atop their throne in the NL Central with a two-game lead over Milwaukee as well. Getting the start in the thin air of the Mile High City will be right-hander Miles Mikolas, who is 8-8 with a 2.92 ERA on the season.</p><p>As for the Rockies, Colorado is fresh off losing two of three games to the Diamondbacks. In what was a battle for the basement of the NL West, the Rockies so far have the upper hand in that fight as they currently sit in dead-last with a 48-63 record, which puts them 28.5 games back of the Dodgers for first place. Making his ninth start of the season is RHP Ryan Feltner, who has compiled a 1-3 record to go along with a 5.75 ERA thus far in 2022.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Cardinals-Rockies MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Cardinals-Rockies Odds</b></h2><p>St. Louis Cardinals: -1.5 (-120)</p><p>Colorado Rockies: +1.5 (+100)</p><p>Over: 11.5 (-102)</p><p>Under: 11.5 (-120)</p><h2><b>Why The Cardinals Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Boy, have things clicked ever so slightly for this ball club. With a 60-48 record through 108 games, the remaining contests on the regular season schedule will be crucial for the National League Central division race and playoff seeding when the calendar year reads October. Obviously, things will look a little different opponents-wise for the Cardinals on Tuesday, as St. Louis is going from facing off with the best team in the American League to the worst squad out in the NL West.</p><p>With the utterly dominant pitching efforts that the ‘Cards have been supplied with recently, it is not a surprise whatsoever that the pitching arms of St. Louis will play a big role in the outcome of Tuesday’s contest. Conversely, the Cardinals’ back-to-back series sweeps included only surrendering eight runs in those six games combined before the high-scoring series finale against the Yankees. With the pitching staff firing at all cylinders, the Cardinals automatically give themselves an advantage. Miles Mikolas would also like to reverse the trend of him struggling in his pair of starts in Denver. He is 1-0 with an 8.44 ERA in those starts in Denver.</p><p>Sunday’s shootout saw New York and St. Louis combine for 21 runs, as in the midst of the Cardinals’ pitching prowess, they also reminded the baseball world that they can surely swing the lumber. The most dangerous Red Bird on Sunday came from no other than Nolan Arenado, who went 3-5 with four RBIs in the contest. Returning to Coors Field always seems to bring out the best in Arenado, so expect the eight-time Gold Glover to inflict some damage upon his former team this evening.</p><h2><b>Why The Rockies Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Colorado has had some low points in their now almost 30-year-old franchise, but the Rockies seem to be slowly but surely sliding into irrelevancy as each day of the season passes. To make matters worse, the Rockies managed to make little to zero moves as the MLB trade deadline approached. Instead, a pizza party was thrown within the organization’s front office to celebrate… well, nothing exactly? The bewildering passive approach that the Rockies have conducted their business by is no surprise nearly three decades later, as the product on the field is a direct correlation to the lack of care to put a winning team together. Now sitting at 48-63, it seems all but likely that another season is down the toilet.</p><p>Regardless of how poorly run this organization is, (remember when Colorado traded Nolan Arenado AND gave St. Louis $50 million dollars as well?), the Rockies have actually been a tough team to beat at home. Whether you can contribute that to the altitude making opposing players get more fatigued, or Dinger the purple dinosaur mascot of the Rockies striking fear into teams, Colorado has reeled off a 30-27 record so far this season at Coors Field.</p><p>Another element that Colorado has excelled at has been at the plate. With the second-highest batting average in the league, Colorado has punished mistakes thrown by pitchers and has made the most of their opportunities with the sticks.</p><p>The pitching has no doubt been as bad as it gets with the third-highest ERA in the majors at 4.96, but maybe Ryan Feltner will throw the ‘Cards off of their game with the lack of experience against him.</p><h2><b>Final Cardinals-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>At first glance and on paper, the Cardinals shouldn’t have any trouble in this one. Other than the fact that the Rockies could explode offensively, Colorado is far too inconsistent in other areas of their game. St. Louis cruises to an easy spread covering victory in this one.</p><p><b>Final Cardinals-Rockies Prediction &amp; Pick: Cardinals -1.5 (-120)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Join us for our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">series</a>, where our Rangers-Astros prediction and pick will be revealed.</p><p>With a 48-60 record entering play on Tuesday, time is running out on the Rangers’ season. With desperation at an all-time high, Texas will send out lefty Martin Perez, who has a 9-2 record with a 2.47 ERA on the year.</p><p>After a three-game winning streak, the Astros have surprisingly dropped two straight at the hands of the Guardians. Still at a remarkable 70-40, Houston will be eager to get back on track in pursuit of the AL’s best overall record with RHP Jose Uquirdy on the bump. Through 20 regular season starts, Uquirdy possesses a 10-4 record to go along with a 3.62 ERA.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Rangers-Astros MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Rangers-Astros Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: +1.5 (-130)</p><p>Houston Astros: -1.5 (+108)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-120)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-102)</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>In their last five series coming after the All-Star Break, the Rangers have gone 1-3-1, which has further signaled there is more problems than not on this roster moving forward. It didn’t seem too long ago when prior to the season, Texas was big spenders in trying to transform the organization’s culture into a winning one. With the signing of SS Corey Seager, it seemed like Texas was ready to start their winning ways. While things don’t always go as planned and with postseason play appearing to be doubtful, the least the Rangers could do is cover the spread in tonight’s divisional duel.</p><p>For starters, Texas certainly cannot have a repeat of their series-losing contests against the White Sox when they were humiliated by a score of 8-2. Surprisingly, for a team that is currently 12 games below the .500 mark, the Rangers are capable of performing much better on the mound than what they showed against Chicago. In fact, Texas is ranked 21st in team ERA and even 15th in batting average allowed as a whole, so a gritty effort from Martin Perez could go a long way. Not to mention, but Perez has been dominant against the Astros this season with a 0.56 ERA in 16 innings pitched.</p><p>Offensively is where the Rangers could also use some work. While Texas has managed to muster up 481 runs this season, which is good for 15th most in the league, their inability to reach base tells a different story of a squad that has been largely inconsistent in 2022. Expect the bats to appear a little fresher after Monday’s off day signaled the first rest day after playing in 18 consecutive contests.</p><h2><b>Why The Astros Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>When it comes to the total makeup of a team’s roster, few teams in the majors pose as dangerous of a threat as the Houston Astros of 2022. Whether it’s keeping hitters off-balanced within the batter’s box or slugging home runs off of opposing pitching, this roster definitely has the pieces to contend for another World Series.</p><p>To begin, Houston will be squaring off with a Texas team that has gone down in defeat in 15 of their last 22 games. Similar to Texas, the Astros stormed out of the All-Star Break with a daunting scheduled slate that saw themselves having to play in 19 games over an 18-day stretch. Since sweeping the Yankees on July 21st, they finished a disappointing 11-8 in Astros standards before finally receiving an off-day yesterday.</p><p>With their batteries recharged, be on the lookout for the ‘Stros and their bats to leave their mark in this one. On the season, Houston has actually been a middle-of-the-road type team with the sticks, as they rank 13th with 486 total runs, and 16th with a .241 batting average. The two statistical categories that the Astros have excelled in, come from a .316 on-base percentage and a .422 slugging percentage, both ranking 10th and 6th respectively.</p><p>Rested bats could prove to be just what the doctor ordered, as well as the dominance of Jose Uquirdy over the course of his last nine outings. During those appearances, Uquirdy has recorded nine consecutive quality starts and has pitched to the tune of a 2.29 ERA over that hot stretch. With a tenth straight performance where he pitches deep into this one, a spread-covering win is all but certain for this Astros bunch.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This matchup has the making of an epic pitchers duel. With both hurlers on an absolute tear of late, this game will come down to which arm will make the first mistake. Simply put, the Astros are just the better crew here and are playing for home-field advantage in the postseason as they try to keep up with the Yankees in the American League. Take Houston and the spread in this one.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick: Astros -1.5 (+108)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They currently sit in third place with a record of 58-50 and are 12.0 games behind the Yankees. However, they’re just 2.5 games behind the Blue Jays for second place, so they’ll be looking to sneak into that spot and get a crack at the playoffs when they have the chance. Starting on the mound tonight for the Rays will be Jimmy Yacabonis who is pitching a 1-1 record with a 9.00 ERA. He’s not their first choice at pitching, but he’ll hopefully get the job done for the Rays as they need some wins here to get back in second place.</p><h2><b>Why The Brewers Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Brewers have found themselves slipping in their division, but no need to fear as it’s still a tight race between themselves and the first-place Cardinals. The Brewers are 58-50 on the season and are just 2.0 games behind the Cardinals, which is certainly doable with win opportunities such as this. Starting on the mound for the Brew Crew tonight will be Freddy Peralta, who is pitching a 3-2 record with a 4.46 ERA. He’ll look to keep the hopes high for the Brewers as they try to claw their way back to the division leaders.</p><h2><b>Final Rays-Brewers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This is a rough game to pick because both teams are kind of in the same position: fighting for better playoff consideration. However, because these teams don’t play each other often, if at all during the regular season sometimes, I expect this to be a hit parade. Because of that, give me the over. Both of these teams can swing the bat well and it should be a high-scoring back-and-forth game.</p><p><b>Final Rays-Brewers Prediction &amp; Pick: Over 8 (-105)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/betting/">series</a> with a Braves-Red Sox prediction and pick.</p><p>The Braves are coming off three losses in a row to the New York Mets. That was a tough 5-game series for them, as the Braves had a good shot of gaining ground on the Mets in the NL East Division. Atlanta is now seven games behind the Mets and is the top Wild Card team by three games over the Philadelphia Phillies. As for Boston, they continue to struggle and the news around the team got even worse when they found out starter Chris Sale is undergoing season-ending wrist surgery. The Red Sox are heading in the wrong direction and it doesn’t seem like the bus driver will turn the bus around.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Braves-Red Sox MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Braves-Red Sox Odds</b></h2><p>Atlanta Braves: -1.5 (+100)</p><p>B0ston Red Sox: +1.5 (-120)</p><p>Over: 9.5 (-105)</p><p>Under: 9.5 (-115)</p><h2><b>Why The Braves Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Charlie Morton starts once again for the Braves as the veteran is enjoying another solid campaign. The former Houston Astro is (5-5) with a 4.09 ERA in 116.2 innings this year. His last start was one of the best of the season as the right-hander pitched 6.2 innings giving up three hits and zero runs. He struck out eight Phillies after giving up six hits and four runs in the outing prior, which also happened to be against Philadelphia.</p><p>The offense is off to a somewhat nice start to the month of August. They scored 13 in the win over the Phillies early in the month and score nine in the win against the Mets back on August 5th. Not having Ozzie Albies is tough on the lineup but they are getting production from Orlando Arcia and Ehire Adrianza who are really taking over for him during his absence. The team traded for Robbie Grossman to give them some extra depth. Tonight, the Braves will need their stars to get them over the hump which includes Ronald Acuna Jr., Austin Riley, Matt Olson, and Dansby Swanson who are all playing very well this season.</p><p>Riley is turning into an MVP candidate and the team is really benefiting from it.</p><h2><b>Why The Red Sox Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Rich Hill … aka Dick Mountain will toe the slab for the Sox tonight. Hill is one of those starters where you have no idea what you are going to get. Hill has thrown gems this season but has also given up a ton of runs this year. He allowed four against the Astros in his last outing but allowed just one run to the Cleveland Guardians back on June 26 before going on a month break due to an injury. If Hill can pitch well tonight and give the Red Sox a quality start, then that will give them a good chance to cover. This is only his second start back since the injury and he went only three innings on August 3.</p><p>The Red Sox are coming off of a series loss to the Kansas City Royals. Adding Eric Hosmer to the lineup from the San Diego Padres hasn’t really helped them at all. He’s batting .200 in 10 ABs with just one RBI. It was nice to see Hosmer back in Kansas City for the first time since signing with SD. Remember, Hos won the 2015 World Series MVP when they took down the Mets.</p><p>The lineup also added former Padre and Cincinnati Red Tommy Pham as the team is in need of a spark.

The Orioles have been killing it lately, making that push for the playoffs for the first time in quite a while. The Blue Jays are looking to hold strong in their division to see the playoffs as well. The Orioles won the first game of this series, but who will win the next? It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/betting/">series</a> with a Blue Jays-Orioles prediction and pick.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Blue Jays-Orioles MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Blue Jays-Orioles Odds</b></h2><p>Toronto Blue Jays: -1.5 (-102) (-158 ML)</p><p>Baltimore Orioles: +1.5 (-118) (+134 ML)</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-118)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-104)</p><p><b><i>*Watch MLB Games LIVE with </i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408"><b><i>fuboTV (click for free trial)</i></b></a></p><h2><b>Why The Blue Jays Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Blue Jays have been playing well, but slowly starting to drop a decent lead on the rest of the AL East (excluding the Yankees). They currently sit in second place with a 60-49 record but are still 10.5 games behind the Yankees for first. The Rays are closing in right behind them by only 1.5 games. Luckily, Alec Manoah is starting on the bump for the Blue Jays tonight as he is pitching a 12-5 record so far with an ERA of 2.45. He’ll look to keep the hopes high for the Jays with a win tonight.</p><h2><b>Why The Orioles Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The O’s have been on a tear recently as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games, pushing hard for that wild card spot and moving up higher into the division standings. Right now, the Orioles have a record of 57-52 and sit in fourth place in the division. They’re 13.5 games behind the Yankees, but only 3.0 games behind the Blue Jays in second place. A takeover of the division is certainly possible, especially with a win here tonight. Starting on the mound for the O’s tonight will be Kyle Bradish, who is pitching a 1-4 record with a 6.55 ERA. He’s not the ideal starter that the O’s are hoping for, but it’ll be the hot bats to keep them in it offensively.</p><h2><b>Final Blue Jays-Orioles Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Blue Jays have shown to be the better team this season in general, but there’s just something about the Orioles I believe in. I don’t think they’ll win the AL East, considering the Yankees have a stranglehold on that spot, but I definitely think a playoff spot is in their future if they keep playing the way they have recently. With that, I know the pitching isn’t ideal for the O’s tonight, and both of these teams can certainly find some hot bats when they need to, so I’m going to take the over. No matter what happens, it’s going to be a high-scoring game between these two teams, and it’ll show again tonight.</p><p><b>Final Blue Jays-Orioles Prediction &amp; Pick: Over 8.5 (-118)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Phillies are coming off of a sweep over the Nationals, extending their winning streak to five games, while the Marlins are coming off of a win of their own over the Cubs. It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/betting/">series</a> with a Marlins-Phillies prediction and pick.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Marlins-Phillies MLB odds, </i></b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb"><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Marlins-Phillies Odds</b></h2><p>Miami Marlins: +1.5 (+102) (+210 ML)</p><p>Philadelphia Phillies: -1.5 (-122) (-255 ML)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-114)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-106)</p><h2><b>Why The Marlins Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Marlins have not been playing well, going 3-7 in their last 10 games and staying 49-59 on the season. They currently find themselves in fourth place in the NL East, 21.0 games behind the Mets for first. The Marlins have also started to lose their touch as they’ve been dealing with some key player injuries lately, forcing them to have some series struggles at the plate. Starting on the mound for the Marlins tonight will be Braxton Garrett, who is throwing a 2-5 record with a 3.88 ERA. They’ll need to find some hot bats at the plate if they want to have any chance in winning this game/series.</p><h2><b>Why The Phillies Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Phillies have been red hot lately, going 9-1 in their last 10 matchups, but are also flying under the radar as they are still third in the division with a total record of 60-48, 10.0 games behind the Mets. The Phillies could easily find themselves in a playoff position if they keep up this momentum. There have also been rumors about Bryce Harper possibly coming back to the squad soon, which will be a humongous boost to their clubhouse. Starting on the mound today will be ace, Zach Wheeler, who is pitching a 10-5 record on the season so far with a 2.69 ERA. He’ll look to keep the boys rolling and climb up the standings more and more.</p><h2><b>Final Marlins-Phillies Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>I don’t love the odds on this game, but regardless of what the odds are, this seems like a pretty easy choice here. The Phillies are on an absolute tear right now and want that playoff spot pretty bad. The Marlins just can’t find the right footing lately and are slowly descending further and further down the rankings. Give me the Phillies run line here. Again, not the best odds, but the easy money maker in my opinion.</p><p><b>Final Marlins-Phillies Prediction &amp; Pick: Phillies -1.5 (-122) </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
