Phillies vs. Red Sox Under 11 Runs (-105, PointsBet)

This is the first bet that is very hard to click but comes in with a positive return on investment according to Awesemo’s Sports Betting Model. This is a lofty total because Fenway Park is extremely hitter friendly in the summer months. However, it is interesting to note that the projected weather is only in the mid-60s tonight in Boston, so it is not going to be a usual hot, East Coast summer night. The pitchers in this spot do not inspire a ton of confidence but are not total gas cans either. Vince Velasquez is a case study in extremes, capable of shutting out any offense on a good night and getting blown up on a bad one. Garrett Richards is bad across the board but rarely gets totally blown up due to a 10% launch angle and only 7.8% barrels allowed. Also, both teams have very capable bullpens behind the subpar starters. Take the risk and bet the under tonight.

Rockies vs. Padres: Colorado Moneyline (+200, DraftKings)

San Diego throws an unknown pitcher, as Blake Snell was scratched from his start. A resurgent Kyle Freeland is taking the mound for Colorado, fresh off shutting down the Pirates and Cardinals at Coors. Freeland is giving up a ton of ground balls and not much power. The odds offered at +200 signify that this bet does not need to hit that often to show a profit. Awesemo’s Sports Betting Model shows that Colorado wins this game about 40% of the time, which is way more than Vegas gives them credit for.

Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers: Arizona Moneyline (+240, BetMGM)

Taylor Widener takes the mound for the Diamondbacks facing the Dodgers tonight in Los Angeles. Widener has been impressive in his short majors stint, spinning a couple of gems against the Padres and Nationals this year. He is coming off a rehab start and should have a limited pitch count in this one. The Dodgers’ pitcher is TBD, and this could be a heavy bullpen game. There is no huge pitcher advantage for Los Angeles, and thus a +240 line seems very appetizing. That is why Awesemo’s Sports Betting Model loves this spot tonight.
