Spencer’s Best Bets for Baseball: July 9th

It seems we are finally coming back down to earth after a rocket ship start to the Best Bets series. Just barely squeaking out a positive day on the official plays, however, the fun plays continue to push us further into the black. Our play on Brady Singer came down to the wire as predicted. He started his final inning on three strikeouts, but the Cleveland Guardians’ bats were enough to force him out after five innings, cashing this one by the skin of our teeth.

In Minnesota, things were sweet and sour. On the one hand, the high-powered Baltimore Orioles’ offense got to work early, posting six runs in just the second inning. They would win the first-half 6-1, cashing our F5 ML! On the other hand, Tyler Wells couldn’t find the strike zone in this one. Allowing six hits, two runs, issuing two free passes, and only collecting four strikeouts on the day.

On to Today’s Best Bets!

Ranger @ Nationals

For our first couple of plays of today, we are heading back to Washington for the finale of this series between the Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals. Patrick Corbin is our target in this one. In today’s game, he owns a 5-10 record, with a 5.13 ERA and only 68 strikeouts through 101 2/3 innings pitched. The Rangers will look to redeem themselves after getting embarrassed 8-3 in yesterday’s outing.

The Pick: SGP Patrick Corbin Under 4.5 Ks & Rangers +1.5 Alt Run Line (-114) 1U

Fun Pick: Adolis Garcia 1+ RBI (+105) 0.25U

Rockies @ Giants

In the second matchup, we are looking at today the struggling Colorado Rockies face off against the plucky San Fransisco Giants. The series is in a dead heat today, with the teams splitting the first two games. Logan Webb will look to take this one home for the Giants and close out his up-and-down start to the season on a high note. Today, he has a great opportunity with a Rockies lineup chalked full of strike targets.

The Pick: Logan Webb 6+ Ks & Giants +1.5 Alt Run Line (-123) 1U

Additional Fun Play:

Ronald Acuna Jr. 1+ Stolen Base (+245) 0.25U
