FanDuel Sportsbook Daily Pitch 6/4/19: Free Betting Lines, Picks, Props

Each day brings us new odds on the FanDuel Sportsbook, and we take a dive into the best odds to find picks and props that we like for the night. MLB is in full swing, but we have a lot of big events like the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup as well.

Baltimore Orioles @ Texas Rangers OVER 10.5

Traditionally we aren’t looking at top notch offenses, but the Texas offense is at home where they thrive, and Baltimore hasn’t been bad against left-handed pitching. The over has generally been around this mark the last ten meetings, where the over/under 5-5. There were a few totals that missed by just one or two runs. Both Texas and Baltimore rank in the bottom ten in bullpen ERA, and the starters are not great.

Dylan Bundy has a 4.58 ERA and 4.75 xFIP this season. He has allowed 13 HR in 11 starts this season. Drew Smyly has allowed 16 ER over his last four starts. His xFIP and ERA are both over six. 27 walks in 38.2 innings is also a struggle for Smyly. Texas is one of the better teams at home in terms of offense.

The over is 4-1 over the last five meetings, and both teams have produced similar over/under numbers this season being 29-27. Even without Joey Gallo in the Texas lineup, there is still some pop. It is a warm and humid night in Texas where hitters will have a good hitting environment.

Minnesota Twins (+114) @ Cleveland Indians

Public money scares me on this one a bit, as a majority are backing the underdog Twins tonight. It makes sense given the Twins have been one of the best teams in baseball, and are 21-9 on the road. As underdogs this season they are 15-12, and are 34-12 against right-handed pitching. The Indians are not as good of a team as advertised, and are a .500 team at home, and are 24-23 as a favorite this season.

The Indians at home this season rank 26th in wRC and have a team ISO of .126. Against left-handed pitching, Cleveland ranks 25th. They have a .287 team wOBA and 74 wRC+. Devin Smeltzer is making his second big league start, and was excellent in his debut. He has strong command, and didn’t really allow the long ball in his minor league sample size.

Minnesota will go on and face Shane Bieber, who is coming off of a tough outing against Boston. Before that he struck out 25 hitters in two starts. There is a wide range of outcomes for Bieber, who still shows struggles against left-handed hitters. He will see 4-5 left-handed hitters tonight, which is a concern. Overall this Twins lineup has a .334 wOBA and .216 ISO against right-handed pitching.

Chicago White Sox @ Washington Nationals -1.5 (-126)

Washington are huge -270 favorites, but winning by two bring you favorable odds. -126 for the Nationals to win by two is a better value tonight, and they are a team that I am high on. Overall they have struggled this season, bringing you less than desirable numbers ATS this season.

Reynaldo Lopez has allowed 13 ER over his last two starts. He has five starts this season where he has allowed five earned runs or more. His 6.20 ERA isn’t far off from his 5.85 xFIP. Once again he struggles to keep the ball on the ground, and has given up 2.07 HR/9 this season.

The Nationals will bring one of their more consistent aces to the table tonight. He has not allowed more than two earned runs in four straight starts. He gets an AL team in an NL ballpark, which they will lose the DH, and one of their first baseman will be out of the lineup. Stras has only gone less than 6 innings once this season, which helps given the Nationals bullpen has struggled.

Oakland Athletics (-102) @ Los Angeles Angels

Oakland has been a hot and cold team this season, starting out hot, going ice cold, and now they have been middling over the last week. Frankie Montas has been the best Oakland arm this season, sitting with a 2.81 ERA and 3.50 xFIP. His strikeout to walk ratio sits at 17.9%. Montas also has a groundball rate over 50%.

On the flip side of this one, Griffin Canning has been solid, and Los Angeles needed another arm to step up. He has some regression coming his way, and I am taking into consideration he has faced Toronto, Detroit, Baltimore, Kansas City, and Texas (at home), over his first few starts. He did well against Oakland last time out, and this will be their second time around seeing him.

Oakland has won their last six games on the road. Looking at this game being a pick’em, I will take the strong arm and offense here tonight. The lineup is back in full health, and Matt Olson gives a power source from the left side.
