A 1-2 split, and frustrating 2 unit loser, ruined our momentum but we’re confident of having a profit by the end of the week.
Here’s our best bets for the action ahead:
Miami Marlins @ Chicago Cubs
This is a value bet if ever there was one. One team riding high after winning eight of their last 11, while the other is coming in on a five-game losing streak. That losing team is also coming off a 14 inning marathon that finished in the early hours of the morning. Despite all that, it’s the team in better form and better prepped that is paying a whopping $3.10 with some bookies. Yes, the Cubs are the better team and will send ace Kyle Hendricks to the mound but that could count for little if this offence continues to fall flat. Their hitters could be in for another tough night given how well Jarlin Garcia is pitching for the Marlins to start the year. The 25-year-old has allowed just two earned runs in 23 innings this season and has already shown he can handle this Chicago lineup after giving up just one hit in six scoreless innings last month. Our projections have Miami scoring 3.9 runs here and that could well be enough given Chicago’s short turnaround. Take a small stab at Miami in this spot at absolutely terrific odds.
Tip: Miami Marlins @ $3.10 (Unibet) (0.5 units)
Washington Nationals @ San Diego Padres
The Nats are rolling at the moment and if they can get a similar showing from Stephen Strasburg as they got in his last start they should have no problem adding another W to their column. The right-hander has a terrific record against the Padres (6-2 with a 2.94 ERA in eight starts) and has also enjoyed his time at Petco Park (2-1 record and 2.84 ERA). Bryce Harper’s elevation to leadoff hitter has played a huge role in sparking this team’s offence and a similar showing could be all we need here. The Padres are 2-21 when their opponents score first and we expect to the Nationals to do just that again here. Tyson Ross owns a 4.76 ERA in his career against Washington and should have a tough time containing a lineup that’s averaged 6.2 runs per game in their last six starts. Look for the visitors to get ahead early and claim the win in this one.
Tip: Washington Nationals F5 @ $1.87 (Unibet)
