Pitchers to stream Sunday

Like most of the Cleveland Guardians, Joey Cantillo has excelled down the stretch. Over his last five outings, he recorded a 1.21 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. He’s been a bit fortunate, but the right-hander doesn’t hurt himself with walks or homers, so if regression strikes, the landing should be soft. The Minnesota Twins are trying to play spoiler, but Cantillo and the Guardians are favored in the finale of their four-game set at Target Field.

Emmet Sheehan has been piling up strikeouts, racking up 45 batters over his prior 35⅓ innings. He’s slated to take the hill when the Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Francisco Giants. Heading into Saturday’s action, the visitors sputtered to a 24-33 record after the break, falling out of wild card convention. The Dodgers are close to clinching the NL West, so expect them to play their regulars against the Giants, then perhaps rest them when the magic number is zero.

While it’s risky to trust a rookie making just his third major league start, especially on the road, Connelly Early impressed the Boston Red Sox enough to stay in the rotation down the stretch. Early faced the Athletics in both of his outings, fanning 18 with just one walk and no homers allowed over 10⅓ innings. The Rays have struggled against southpaws all season, sporting the seventh highest strikeout rate and ninth lowest wOBA with a left-hander on the hill.

Pitchers to avoid Sunday

Michael King has not been sharp since returning from the IL, surrendering 10 earned runs in only eight innings over two starts. The San Diego Padres need him to return to form quickly but trusting him for a fantasy lineup is a risk, even facing the Chicago White Sox. The matchup is on the road, so King isn’t protected by Petco Park. The White Sox offense has been sluggish all season, but King is vulnerable to the long ball and Rate Field embellished homers.

Best/worst pitcher/hitter matchups and betting projections are generated by THE BAT X, a system created by Derek Carty using advanced methods like those used in MLB front offices, accounting for a variety of factors including player talent, ballparks, bullpens, weather, umpires, defense, catcher pitch-framing, and lots more. Betting projections for every player, team, and game can be found at EV Analytics.

Note: Expected Value is a measure of how good a bet is, factoring the probability that it will win versus the odds the book is providing. If you were to wager $1.00 100 times on a bet with an Expected Value of $25, you would win some and you would lose some, but in the end you would expect to come away with $25 in profit on your $100 investment.

Because odds typically do not get set until the previous day’s games are completed, betting tips will be added in the morning.
