3-1 last night for a profit of 2.57, birnging the YTD mark to 45-27 for a profit of 24 Units. What a run it has been, let finish the weekend of with my Best Bets for the Athletics vs the Cleveland Guardians and the Minnesota Twins vs the Los Angeles Angels.
MLB Best Bets for Sunday, September 20th
- Cleveland Guardians Team Total Over 4.5 +110 Lucky Rebel
- Travis Bazzana Over 1.5 Total Bases +160 Lucky Rebel
- Minnesota Twins vs Los Angeles Angels Over 8.5 -110 Lucky Rebel
- Brooks Lee Over 1.5 Total Bases +133 Lucky Rebel
Athletics vs Cleveland Guardians
Athletics vs Guardians Pitching Matchup
- Athletics (61-94) RHP Jack Perkins (3-11, 6.14 ERA/1.46 WHIP)
- Cleveland Guardians (80-75) RHP Gavin Williams (13-8, 3.78 ERA/1.10 WHIP)
Best Bet: Cleveland Guardians Team Total Over 4.5 +110 Lucky Rebel
We cashed the Guardians Team Total thanks to a five run first inning last night, now we get a better price on the same team total. This offense remains hot as they hun 12 on this putrid pitching staff in Game 2, making it 4 straight games of 5 or more runs. The Chicago White Sox also won last night so the Guardians lead over them in the American league central holds at 1. The Athletics send right hander Jack Perkins to the bump today, who owns a road ERA of 5.04 and a WHIP of 1.36. I like the Guardians to remain hot at the plate and finish of the sweep here today.
Best Bet: Travis Bazzana Over 1.5 Total Bases +180 Lucky Rebel
Cleveland second baseman Travis Bazzana is having a solid rookie season. The 2024 first round pick is hitting .248 with 15 home runs and 57 runs batted in. He hits much better vs right handed pithing where he owns an average of .273 with 13 home runs and 46 runs batted in with an ISO of .208. Bazzans has hit this mark in 6 of his last 7 home game when facing a right handed starter and has totaled 20 bases in those contests. Bazzana is also having a spectacular September where he is hitting .320 with 6 home runs and 15 runs batted in. He has been a major player in this lineups recent surge and I love this price on him to continue that today.
Minnesota Twins vs Los Angeles Angels
Minnesota Twins vs Los Angeles Angels Pitching Matchup
- Minnesota Twins (72-83) RHP Dean Kremer (3-5, 5.35 ERA/1.24 WHIP)
- Los Angeles Angels (60-95) RHP Ryan Johnson (5-8, 4.88 ERA/1.34 WHIP)
Best Bet: Minnesota Twins vs Los Angeles Angels Over 8.5 -110 Lucky Rebel
The Minnesota Twins wrap up their 3 game series with the Los Angeles Angels today, at Angel Stadium. This game features two suspect starting pitchers and the splits are in our favor. Twins starter Dean Kremer owns a road ERA of 6.11 and a WHIP of 1.36. Angels starter Ryan Johnson owns a home ERA of 4.20 and a WHIP of 1.31. This game also features 2 bad bullpens as Minnesota's is 26th in ERA and Los Angeles' is 20th. Saturday night's grueling 11-inning marathon heavily taxed both staffs, forcing them to burn through a combined 11 relief arms. This high-volume usage leaves both middle relief units extremely fatigued and short-handed for Sunday's series finale, drastically raising the probability of late-inning scoring bursts. That. combined with the lackluster starters, should equate to plenty of runs today.
Best Bet: Brooks Lee Over 1.5 Total Bases +133 Lucky Rebel
Minnesota third baseman Brooks Lee is having a breakout season. The third year pro is hitting .250 with 23 home runs and 81 runs batted in. He is hitting .267 vs right handed pitchers with 20 home runs and 63 runs batted in. He has cleared this mark in all three games of this series, totaling 6 bases. Lee will have plenty of opportunities to hit this number against this Los Angeles pitching staff.
