Cubs Underdog Win Lifts Bankroll to 114% as Football Season Approaches

Last night, we split our picks 2-2, but the night still ended on a high note! Our largest wager of the evening, an underdog moneyline play on the Cubs, came through and won us the night. That clutch win pushed our total bankroll up to 114% for the month of September. 💪

Tonight, the slate is light once again, with only MLB plays on deck. But we're not slowing down. We’re strategically navigating this quiet stretch before the real action kicks off tomorrow with Thursday Night Football! 🏈

As we look ahead, we’re setting our sights on a massive weekend of College Football and NFL games. There’s nothing quite like this time of year when football is in full swing, and we’re ready to make the most of it. Let’s stay focused, keep grinding, and continue building those bankrolls together! 💰

MLB: Colorado Rockies at Detroit Tigers

Team Motivation
Tuesday’s blowout victory for the Tigers over the Rockies, with a 11-0 scoreline, highlights the significant gap between the teams in terms of performance and motivation. The Tigers demonstrated clear dominance and commitment, which is likely to continue in this matchup.

Pitching Matchups
Tanner Gordon, starting for the Rockies, has struggled throughout the season with a 0-5 record and a high 7.55 ERA. His underwhelming form presents a strong opportunity for the Tigers to capitalize. Conversely, the Tigers will benefit from a well-rested bullpen following Keider Montero's complete-game shutout, with Casey Mize set to start. Mize has a respectable 4.30 ERA and should be effective against a struggling Rockies lineup.

Recent Trends
The Rockies' ongoing pitching issues, particularly with Gordon on the mound, have been a consistent problem. The Tigers' ability to exploit these issues, combined with their recent dominant performance, supports the likelihood of another strong showing.

Game Dynamics
Given the Tigers' recent form, the Rockies' pitching struggles, and the advantage of a rested bullpen, backing the Tigers to win by more than 1.5 runs seems well-founded. The Tigers are expected to continue their strong performance against a Rockies team that appears to be outmatched.

Pick: Tigers -1.5 @ +115 / Wager: 1%

MLB: Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals

Recent Performance
The Braves' recent breakout performance against the Nationals suggests they are on the upswing, particularly after a dominant showing on Monday. This recent success could signal a continued strong performance against the Nationals in this matchup.

Pitching Matchup
Max Fried is coming off one of his best starts of the season, showcasing excellent form. His previous success against the Nationals further supports his potential to excel again. The Braves' lefty has proven effective against the Nationals' lineup, which struggles against left-handed pitching, with a record of just 18-24 in such matchups.

Jake Irvin's Struggles
Jake Irvin, starting for the Nationals, has faced significant difficulties as the season has progressed. He has a troubling 7.17 ERA over his last seven starts, with a .927 OPS allowed. Additionally, the Nationals have struggled with a 2-5 record in Irvin's recent starts, including four losses by two or more runs.

Game Dynamics
Given the Braves' recent strong performance, Fried’s effective pitching, and Irvin's ongoing struggles, backing the Braves to win by more than 1.5 runs aligns with the current trends and data.

Pick: Braves -1.5 @ +100 / Wager: 3%
