MLB (0.5 Unit) Baltimore Orioles Team Total Under 4.5 (+105; Odds via Caesars): 3:05 PM CT on Fanduel Sports West
I don’t typically like asking Tyler Anderson to do anything good, but he should have a fairly easy time of things today. He’s up against an Orioles team that simply can’t hit lefties like him, ranked 28th in scoring and weighted runs created, plus dead last in batting average, OPS, and wOBA. And Baltimore has real trouble scoring in general, ranked 25th in runs scored this season and have gone 12-3 under this total their past 15 games, so I’ll take the plus-juice price in a good spot here.
MLB (0.5 Unit) Jose Ramirez Over 1.5 Total Bases (+115; Odds via DraftKings): 8:40 PM CT on CLEG
Ramirez is having a quietly excellent season, ranked top-10 in both batting average and OPS so far, along with 13th in total bases. While it’s better to get him facing a lefty, I’m happy to take him at a good price here against Seattle starter George Kirby, as he has 4 hits with 2 doubles in 6 at-bats. Ramirez is also actually better on the road, should be in for a bounce back after an 0-for-3 night yesterday, plus he’s a threat to steal bases which count for this prop.
WNBA (0.5 Unit) LA Sparks @ Minnesota Lynx -10 (-110; Odds via DraftKings): 12:00 PM CT on CBS
Well, the undefeated season dream is over, as the Lynx squandered a double-digit second half lead in Seattle on Wednesday to end up losing by double digits. That can’t be sitting well with them, and I would expect them to bounce back in this game and look to make a statement on national TV. They should lean on their defense that has been excellent at home and only allows 73.2 PPG to shut down a Sparks squad that can definitely score, but they’ve handled before. The Lynx shut them down in a 14-point win early in the season, so a motivated team at home, needing big margins of victory for the Commissioner’s Cup, should roll today.
