Total: 8.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
The set-up: I have zero faith in either starter and I look for this total to fly "over" sooner, rather than later. The visitors go with Chris Stratton, while the home side goes with Steven Matz.
The pitchers: Stratton is so far 8-7 with a 5.52 ERA. He returns from Triple-A out of necessity. For the most part he's been terrible this season in the big leagues, especially at home with a 6.09 ERA.
Matz is so far 5-10 with a 4.60 ERA. He makes his second start back from injury at home, a place where he's gone a poor 1-5 with a 4.78 ERA.
The pick: This match-up definitely does not have "pitchers duel" written all over it. It's the exact opposite in fact. There's no reason to have any faith in any either of these guys, and I don't. I expect each to get the hook early and for this one to fly "over" once it's all said and done.
