Dan Druff's 2023 MLB picks

[Dan Druff]

Easy winner yesterday.

Here's a total, but more coming shortly.

Atlanta (Strider) vs Philadelphia (C. Sanchez) - Under 8.5 -115

Here's a late season game with major wildcard implications, as the Giants and D-backs go at it.

The Giants are sitting 2 games out of the final wildcard spot, while the D-backs are just 0.5 ahead for that same spot. The two teams are separated by 2.5 games overall, with 3 other clubs (Reds, Marlins, Cubs) in between.

Zac Gallen might have a dead arm. While he pitched very well against the Cubs two starts ago, he has given up 5-6 ER in 3 of his 4 last starts, and also has suddenly started having issues missing bats. He's just not the same pitcher he was during the first half.

San Francisco (Cobb) +128 vs Arizona (Gallen)

One more.

Nate Eovaldi was pitching well... and then he had forearm issues in July. He was held out until early this month, and since then he's made 3 short starts, where he didn't look particularly good, except the middle one against lousy Oakland.

It appears he will be given a little more time to pitch today, and I could easily see him getting clobbered. I just don't think he's healthy.

Boston (Houck) +142 at Texas (Eovaldi)

Make sure you click "listed" for this one, as you don't want this pick if they end up scratching Eovaldi.

What a beatdown. 0-3.

Just haven't "had it" in MLB after August 1 this year. Too bad, because the season was going well prior to that.
