We are now live at the G911 Sports Hub.  We're taking a bit of a hit of late. Last night we had the UNDER 8 heading into OT with the Blue Jays-Orioles game tied 3-3 only to have a bunch of runs scored in extra innings.   Let's look at Wednesday's plays.

Twins @ Brewers

Kenta Maeda (3-7, 4.13 ERA) yielded three runs in four-plus innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Tigers his last start and actually suffered the loss in his previous start to that one, also against the Tigers, where he allowed just one run in six innings.  He had a win permitting a single run in his previous start.

Maeda has faced these Brewers 56 times and they've had 13 hits against him (.232) with zero home runs.

The Milwaukee Brewers have recorded the ninth lowest wOBA and seventh highest strikeout rate at home with a righty. 

Corbin Burnes (9-6, 3.43 ERA) has not had a win over his last four starts.  Burnes shut out the Dodgers for seven innings in a no-decision Thursday.  He gave up five runs in his previous start to the White Sox.

Burnes has only permitted 11 hits on 67 at bats versus these Twins (.177).

Minnesota has scored four or fewer runs in six of their last ten games overall while allowing three or fewer runs in six of ten.

Milwaukee has fared much better with scoring but hasn't permitted an opposing team to score over 3 runs in six of their last ten games.

Take the UNDER 8 here.

Red Sox @ Astros

Chris Sale was terrific in a no-decision against the Tigers in his return from the injured list, surrendering two runs on just one hit over his 4 2/3 innings of work.  He followed that up by allowing three runs (two earned) over 4 1/3 innings on Thursday in a loss to the Nationals.

Sale has faced just six of the current Astros batters but in 73 at bats allowed 22 hits and 7 home runs. Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman have done much of the damage.

Jose Urquidy is 2-3 with a 5.21 ERA.  He has not had a win over his last three starts.  He gave up a single run against the Angels in his last appearance.

Baseball News

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
