JP Sears has shown solid performance recently with a 3.7 ERA and a 3.95 ERA over the last 30 days, with one poor outing against the Astros as an outlier. This may seem like a straightforward pick, but the indicators clearly favor the Athletics to play on the run-line or include them as a parlay piece.<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guardians: <strong>13-4-1 F5 O\/U and 12-5-1 O\/U<\/strong> when Logan Allen starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diamondbacks: 7 of last 8 previous games have gone over  |  L14 days, Diamondbacks: <strong>5-0 O\/U<\/strong> vs. LHP.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Logan Allen is making his first start since July 6. His season-long stats are concerning, with a 5.67 ERA and 5.45 FIP, and there may be rust coming into play against the Diamondbacks&#8217; hot offense. The over seems to be a strong play here.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-fad6cc36-bbbe-4fdb-b252-56da536ed956\"><br><br><strong>Here are the rest of today&#8217;s trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-388a5bb0-7905-43b9-b007-5865a81bc07f\"><br>New York Mets @ St. Louis Cardinals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-d6e330fd-8083-42b9-84d6-4b497d252a64\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cardinals: <strong>13-4 NRFI <\/strong>as a home underdog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cardinals: <strong>14-3 RL (+1.5) <\/strong>as a home underdog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In L30 days, Mets:<strong> 19-5 NRFI<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-e76b8fc0-269c-4114-a97c-e1c5d3fc7fea\"><br>Arizona Diamondbacks @ Cleveland Guardians<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-69bb5d78-463c-4167-b06b-c8da9a6b5504\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diamondbacks: Baller Matchup Rating of &#8216;7&#8217;<br><br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diamondbacks: 7 of last 8 previous games have gone over.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>L14 days, Diamondbacks: <strong>5-0 O\/U<\/strong> vs. LHP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guardians: <strong>13-4-1 F5 O\/U and 12-5-1 O\/U<\/strong> when Logan Allen starts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-ef671a33-48ae-476b-aa65-021a8814a25a\"><br>Cincinnati Reds @ Miami Marlins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-945b56a1-a1d2-4aa7-b3ba-ad0009b76e35\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marlins:  Baller Matchup Rating of &#8216;4&#8217; as an underdog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marlins: <strong>0-4 F5 ML<\/strong> as home underdogs when Roddery Munoz starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reds: <strong> 0-4-1 F5 ML <\/strong>when Nick Martinez starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In L30 days, Reds: <strong>9-2-2 F5 ML<\/strong> vs. RHP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-dc10f3e5-e475-442b-8b24-f9f010759bea\"><br>San Francisco Giants @ Washington Nationals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-273cf12a-575d-4e18-8386-bf0af465a10c\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nationals: <strong>6-15-1 F5 ML and 6-16 ML <\/strong>when Patrick Corbin starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nationals: <strong>29-12 NRFI<\/strong> as home underdogs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-45e3434b-1596-4f2c-abf2-defbf1657983\"><br>Minnesota Twins @ Chicago Cubs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-f285ac25-e3fa-46c5-8abf-56081e9d07f5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Twins: <strong>15-6 ML <\/strong>as road favorites vs. RHP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baller System active to play on Twins:  Back team off a win when they used a lot of pitchers (lower-volume variation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-889403de-6400-4703-8ba5-2660338da637\"><br>Houston Astros @ Texas Rangers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-801e7aea-18bf-47c9-be20-377521588506\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rangers: <strong>6-15 ML<\/strong> when Andrew Heaney starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In L30 days, Rangers: <strong>14-6-1 O\/U <\/strong>vs. RHP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In L30 days, Astros: <strong>0-7 F5 O\/U<\/strong> vs. LHP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-375a56e3-707e-471e-bc08-5a233d560729\"><br>Boston Red Sox @ Kansas City Royals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-cad5c9f9-b8fe-4610-887d-82cd50edc45f\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Royals:<strong> 7-1 ML<\/strong> as home favorites when Brady Singer starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Royals: <strong>1-6-1 F5 O\/U<\/strong> as home favorites when Singer starts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-6380dd67-0052-429b-8d65-0c20e2ea41f9\"><br>Chicago White Sox @ Oakland Athletics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-13c8239a-372f-485e-a9a3-d6f1edb9d73d\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Athletics:<strong> 12-3 ML<\/strong> as home favorites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Athletics: <strong>5-14-2 F5 O\/U <\/strong>when JP Sears starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Athletics: Baller Matchup Rating of &#8216;6&#8217;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>White Sox: <strong>0-6 ML<\/strong> as a road underdog when Jonathan Cannon starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>White Sox: lost 20 consecutive games. <br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-37d08e24-d424-4254-bdb3-f3d02d41f342\"><br>Philadelphia Phillies @ Los Angeles Dodgers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-6b07d5ba-db32-46e3-beb2-95246fe7b80d\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phillies: <strong>15-3-4 F5 ML <\/strong>when Aaron Nola starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dodgers: Baller Matchup Rating of &#8216;7&#8217;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-aef2aa6f-cf0b-4709-b254-1a46f3fe9e9c\"><br><strong>Abbreviations:<\/strong><br>&#8211; YRFI: Yes Runs First Inning<br>&#8211; NRFI: No Runs First Inning<br>&#8211; RHP: right-handed starting pitchers<br>&#8211; LHP: left-handed starting pitchers<br>&#8211; L30 days: in last 30 days<br>&#8211; L14 days: in last 14 days<br>&#8211; F5: first 5 innings (if F5 not indicated, the assumption is a full-game statistic)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Ballers!
