Today's MLB Picks
Pick - Moneyline
Philadelphia at Pittsburgh
Philadelphia (-135)
Best Odds -140
Game 1 of the Pennsylvania rivalry could quickly turn lopsided when Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not only is Nola limiting Bucs' hitters to a .208/.269/.431 slash line over the course of 96 at-bats, but the Phillies' offense completely mashes against expected starter Mitch Keller. The right-hander is getting hit around to the tune of a 1.026 OPS in 109 ABs against the Phillies, and this an offense that is averaging a league-leading 5.0 runs per game. Take Philadelphia to end Pittsburgh's four-game win streak on Friday.

Pick - Moneyline
Tampa Bay at NY Yankees
Tampa Bay (+160)
Best Odds +145
I'm grabbing the Tampa Bay Rays at great value to knock off the New York Yankees on Friday night. The Yankees were installed in the -180 range due in part to Gerrit Cole's reputation, and while his strikeout stuff hasn't disappeared since his return to the majors on June 19 (26 Ks over 23 1/3 innings), he's also getting hit a ton. His 9.6 hits per nine innings figure is far above his career average of 7.5. If he tries to buy a first-pitch strike, the Rays (10th in first-pitch swing rate) will make him pay. Countering Cole is Zach Eflin, who has already flummoxed the Yankees in two starts this year (one run allowed over 13 innings, .156 OBA).
