2023 MLB Wild Card Opening Night Picks
Hello, BrownBagBets Community! The MLB playoffs are in full swing, and we've got some exciting picks lined up for you. Let's dive right in!
Future Bet Highlight: Phillies to Win the Series -1.5 at +185
The Marlins are entering this series with a limp, missing their ace Alcantara and with Perez and Arraez nursing ankle issues. Our projections, after analyzing multiple platforms, show the Phillies winning each game with almost a 60% probability. With Wheeler and Nola taking the mound for the Phillies, the edge clearly leans towards the defending National League Champions. We see immense value here and recommend a 5% bankroll wager.
Texas Rangers @ Rays, 3pm on ABC: We're leaning towards the Rangers with a +1.5 advantage. Jordan Montgomery, boasting a 2.8 ERA since his move from St. Louis, is a significant factor in our decision. The Rays, plagued with injuries and Tyler Glasnow's inconsistency in September, make the extra run for the Rangers even more appealing. We're placing a 5% bankroll wager on this one.
Brewers ML vs. Diamondbacks, 7pm on ESPN2: The Diamondbacks had a nail-biting finish to secure a Wild Card spot, which means they couldn't line up their starting rotation for the playoffs. This puts Brandon Pfaadt on the mound for Game 1, and with his staggering 5.72 ERA and 2.1 HR/9, it doesn't bode well for Arizona. Their recent four losses, where they managed just three runs combined, further dampens their momentum. On the flip side, the Brewers are on a roll with Corbin Burnes, who hasn't allowed a run in his last two starts. We're backing the Brewers to clinch this one with a 5% bankroll wager.
Let's gear up for an exciting day of baseball, and as always, let's bag those bets! ⚾🔥🎉
