DET @ MIN • Tue 7:40pm

L. Keaschall

Over 1.5

+145

Bases

Picked: Sep 1 @ 1:33am

Analysis

I'll ride the hot streak with the sizzling Luke Keaschall, who is batting leadoff for Minnesota. The second year pro has seven hits combined in his last four games and 10 multi-hit games in his last 16 contests. In those 16 games, he's gone over this prop 11 times. Against Tigers starter Troy Melton, Keaschall is 2 for 2 lifetime. Let's ride the hot streak for another night with Minnesota's 2B / OF.

NYY @ LAA • Tue 9:38pm

NYY

-177

Money Line

Picked: Aug 31 @ 11:59pm

Analysis

This is pretty close to my limit for moneyline odds favorites. But it's going to get to -200 before first pitch, so I’ll snag it now. Gerrit Cole, who owns a 1.96 ERA over his last six starts, faces an Angels team that’s 26th in hitting off right-handers and 28th in hitting at home over the last two weeks, and has eclipsed three runs once in the last nine games. Angels RHP Grayson Rodriguez has been better of late, but he still has a 7.79 ERA in nine home starts. New York’s offense put up 25 runs in its last two games vs. Boston.

PHI @ ARI • Tue 9:40pm

J. Luzardo

Over 6.5

+124

Pitcher Strikeouts

Picked: Sep 1 @ 1:37am

Analysis

I like the value we're getting on Jesus Luzardo's strikeouts on Tuesday night. Dating back to June 10th, Luzardo has seven or more strikeouts in 12 of 14 starts for Philadelphia. He's 8-0 on the road this season with a 1.79 ERA and 110 punchouts in 85.1 innings. Not to mention that Arizona hitters are a combined 15 of 67 lifetime (.224 average) against the tough left-hander. Expect another high K game from the Phillies 3rd starter on Tuesday night.

TOLEDO @ MICHST • Fri 8:00pm

TOLEDO +10.5

-110

Spread

Picked: Aug 18 @ 3:20pm

Analysis

New Spartans coach Pat Fitzgerald performed miracles at Northwestern, but that seems like ages ago. In his last four seasons in Evanston, he went 14-31, including a 4-20 mark over his last two years. He also hasn't coached since 2022 when the landscape of college football was much different. And, unlike other coaches in the first year at a school, Fitzgerald did not have the benefit of a previous school from which to mine transfer talent. Though Toledo will be under a new coach also, Mike Jacobs brings several players from Mercer after taking the Bears to the FCS playoffs the last two seasons. Those include FCS defensive player of the year Andrew Zock. I don't hate a money line sprinkle on Toledo either.

FRESNO @ USC • Fri 9:00pm

Over 51.5

-110

Over/Under

Picked: Aug 30 @ 8:36pm

Analysis

I'm playing the early-season Trojans Over trend once again. Including the Week Zero 42-26 win over San Jose State, Lincoln Riley has coached eight games at home against non-conference opponents in August / September. In those games, the average score has been USC 57, Opponents 17. USC has never scored less than 42 points in any of those contests. I was less than impressed with the Trojans' defense on Saturday, while their offense was crisp and in midseason form led by quarterback Jayden Maiava. Expect points galore once again in the L.A. Coliseum on Friday night. USC 44, Fresno State 21.
