Yankees @ Tigers
This series offers New York an excellent opportunity to bounce back from a period of time where they pretty much imploded. They are 12-5 since July 27 and playing in Detroit we should get a line or two under the -180 price.
Gerrit Cole starts for New York on Friday and the line is sitting around the -200 mark with Detroit's starter unannounced.
In 72 appearances against Cole, the Tigers are .181 with just two RBIs.
Mariners @ Pirates
Seattle is 5-1 against Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Pirates career statistics vs. Logan Gilbert are just five hits in a relatively small sampling of 30 (.167). And with Paul Skenes starting for the Pirates, the Under should be looked at here Friday. We are getting a number of 7. FanDuel has even brought it down to 6.5. Most of the MLB bookmaking solutions were maintaining a total of 7.5.
Did we mention the Pirates have now lost ten straight? They've scored three or more runs in only half of those games.
Seattle, meanwhile, has scored two or fewer runs in just six of their last ten and are up against Skenes here.
Royals @ Reds
Cincinnati has come alive in recent days and cracked our rankings for Friday with seven wins in ten. They've won six of the last seven games against KC.
It's a small sampling but the Royals have only two hits in 19 at bats versus Reds anticipated starter Nick Martinez. Martinez hurled seven scoreless innings and allowed just one hit, but he didn’t factor into the decision Saturday against the Brewers.
A play on Cincinnati is something to consider here. The Reds still scare us as they've been up and down all season and their pitching has been shaky.
