The Best Bets money train keeps rolling for us straight into the weekend! In what was the fastest 9-inning MLB game since 2010 at one hour and 51 minutes, Daniel Lynch cashed our first play of the evening. While eating up 18 outs, and collecting three strikeouts with only 76 pitches, it felt as though Lynch was pulled slightly early here by the Kansas City Royals’ staff. No complaints here! As predicted, the Texas Rangers jumped out to an early lead over their hosts, carrying a 4-1 score into the mid-way point. Helped along by the league leader in RBI this season, Adolis Garcia drove one in during his very first at-bat, giving us sweat-free cash.

On to Today’s Best Bets!
Orioles @ Twins
The blackbirds from Baltimore AKA the Baltimore Orioles travel to Target Field this weekend to face off against the Minnesota Twins. I like the O’s to continue their winning streak here. Taking the mound for the away team will be Tyler Wells. A guy that loves a strikeout. I predict he dominates a Twins lineup that loves to chase outside the zone early and often.
The Pick(s): Orioles F5 ML (+105) 1U
Tyler Wells 6+ Ks (-154) 1.5U
Royals @ Guardians
Going straight back to the well for a second day in a row. The Cleveland Guardians once again host the Royals, and once again we are taking the under on a Royals pitcher K prop. Today’s target is Brady Singer, a pitcher carrying a 5.52 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 74 Ks through 17 games started. This is going to be a nail-biter to the say the least, and will likely come down to the wire. However, I trust the Guardians lineup to start hot and force Singer out of the game early.
The Pick: Brady Singer Under 3.5 Ks (+110)
