MLB Games I Like May 8th

3-2 +1.04 Saturday
33-22 +8.09 Season


Brewers +123 vs Braves
I was on Brewers yesterday and still believe, with the better starter, they are going to win today.

Ashby (MIL) vs Morton (ATL). Morton has not been as good this year has he has in the past. We have a 2.33 ERA vs 6.85 ERA. Looking through the starts Morton's high ERA is not due to 1 or 2 bad outings. He's consistently given up runs. Ashby has been good so far this year. I will say in Morton's only outing vs Brewers in 2021 he was excellent.

Brewers bats over last 10 days are some of the best in MLB. Braves are in mid-20s rankings.

Relief pitching for these teams is comparable but ATL has used up more of their bullpen than the Brewers over the last 2 days.


The odds at +123 for this matchup are a gift in my mind.

I agree. Am I missing something???
I don't see Brewers being that big a dog at +123. It might be Morton pitching for the Braves is swaying people's opinion but, if you look at his stats this year, he's not been impressive so far.

Not seeing other MLB plays that I like today.

Comments on a couple of the other games:
I like Minny today but the line is too juicy -175.
The RL doesn't look viable since they have shown a tendency to win by 1 or lose lately.
The FF lines also are not enticing since Minny typically is either behind or tied through 5.

Mahle is pitching for the Reds vs Thompson (PIT) who is not very good but Mahle has not exactly shined this year. I like the Reds but not at -136.

Good luck today.
