MLB Free Picks August 2, 2023: 7-1 in Our Last Eight
Yesterday was one of our better picks of the season despite winning by a mere half point. That's because our starters performed as predicted. It wasn't until the 6th inning that this game got out of hand with a bunch of homers. We sweated out this win for sure.
Tampa is finally finding a way to win after a period of struggling. They've just won 6 of their last 10 games. The Yankees have lost three straight. Tampa Bay has also won the last three in this series.
Shane McClanahan is 11-1 with a 3.00 ERA starting for the Rays. He hasn't had a win in his last five starts, a reflection of Tampa's struggles. He surrendered three runs his last start and five before that.
New York Yankees career statistics vs. Shane McClanahan have seen some modest success for the Yankees as they've hit 27 in 103 at bats with 7 home runs.
The Yankees Gerrit Cole is 9-2 with a 2.64 ERA. He has not won in his last three starts but still managed to shut out the Orioles for seven innings in a no-decision Friday.
Cole has allowed just 48 hits in 207 at bats versus the Rays current roster. Six of those were home runs.
Cole, more so than McClanahan, we anticipate being able to pitch into the 7th inning. That's good as neither team has the best bullpen at the moment.
Unfortunately, the head-to-head series has resulted in seven games going OVER the current total of 7.5 and that will make us pause here in taking the UNDER.
