New York Mets -178 @ Kansas City Royals – 1 Unit

The resurrected Mets got a big win over their division rivals Braves yesterday night. Their insane winning streak had been temporarily paused before then.  Now they are rewarded by a trip to Kansas City, where they will face one of the worst teams in the league. During their ridiculous last couple months – and really all season – the Mets have absolutely owned bad teams, particularly with one of their aces on the mound.

metsSince enduring a sweep at the hands of the Marlins in May, the Mets have gone 20-5 against teams currently under .500, including winning 16 of their last 18.

Mets start Noah Syndergaard, who has been his old unhittable self as of late. Since the All Star break, Syndergaard (8-5, 3.89 ERA) has gone 7+ innings in each of his 6 starts and posted an elite 1.91 ERA. He has only allowed 1 home run in 42.1 innings since the break.

For his career, Thor is 2-0 against the Royals with a 2.25 ERA. That includes 6 scoreless innings pitching in Kansas City.

Mets will have to beat better teams than this to keep their playoff dreams alive. But they also know how vital taking care of business against the minnows will be.

Atlanta Braves  -122 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers – 1 Unit

Canadian wunderkind, Mike Soroka will get to face the world famous Dodgers for the first time in his career today, as the Braves play host to LA. Soroka (10-2, 2.32 ERA) appears to be returning to his best form. He has given up only 5 runs in his last 26 innings, all of which came on the road.

Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda has been the one sore spot in an otherwise immaculate pitching rotation. Maeda (8-8, 4.12 ERA) has a 2-5 record and a 5.66 ERA on the road this year – nearly double his home ERA. His walk rate and WHIP each go way up when he’s away from Dodger stadium, which presents a problem against this shrewd Braves lineup.

21-year old, Ronald Acuna Jr is knocking the cover off the ball this month. Acuna has 10 HRs in 14 games in August. Since he took over as the Braves lead off hitter in early June, he has been one of the most impactful players in baseball and a sneaky pick to steal the MVP award away from Christian Yellich or Cody Bellinger. Last night’s spectacular home run saving grab will only add to his confidence going forward.

Chicago White Sox Team Total +105 @ LA Angels

Last night the Angels gave up 6+ runs for the 9th time in their past 13 games. However, they got the win thanks Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout having themselves a couple of ball games.

The White Sox have scored 23 runs in their last three spots as a road dog, and 5.2 runs per game over their last 10 such scenarios.

White Sox starter, Lucas Giolito (12-6, 3.42 ERA) has been one of their rare pitchers to have been better on the road this season. Giolito is 7-2 away from Comismky Park, sporting a 2.90 ERA and a 1.136 WHIP.
