Our focus on major league betting focuses on progressive field Wednesday, which will be a special position for Cubs enthusiasts and Kyle Hendricks in particular, as it was the site of their Game 7 debut and first World Series name in over a hundred years.
We’re breaking down baseball odds for this game and more through our MLB’s loose selections and predictions for Wednesday, August 12.
There are fond memories for Kyle Hendricks on Wednesday, as he makes his first start at Progressive Field since the 2016 World Series Game 7 began, which the Cubs finally won.
Despite a difficult start against the Cincinnati Reds, Hendricks has forged this way this summer, pitching to a 0.93 WHIP and hosting war games with an Array227 batting average. He is now facing a Cleveland team that would have difficulty hitting the water if he fell off a boat.
Carrasco looks like the one before after not having maximum 2019 with leukemia. The right has 2.50 MPM and 1.00 WHIP in its first 3 starts this season. Most important to this game, Carrasco had 23 strikeouts in 18 innings and the Cubs are the fourth highest score consistent with the game in the Grands.
PREDICTION: Less than 4, five and five first innings (-113)
The Angels finished the Athletics’ nine-game winning streak in the first game of their three-game set, and will pass through the show’s sweep Wednesday afternoon in Anaheim. The last one sees Chris Bassitt playing Griffin Canning.
Bassitt has just finished his first full season as an entrepreneur, where he pitched with a 3.81 ERA and 1.19 WHIP, and the 31-year-old right used it in 2020. Bassitt has a 1.08 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP in his first 3 beginnings this year. That includes four innings of five blank hits against the Angels.
Canning is just beginning his season at the time in the majors, and has a respectable average of 3.1four, he was a little lucky to release a 1.61 WHIP. The 2- and 4-year right also allowed three runs and four hits in four 2-3 innings against the Athletics in their first start of the year.
It’s attractive to see the Athletics as outsiders here. The lineups are close to a wash, however, they have a merit in the headlines, the bullpen of the relievers much more powerful and are the much bigger team. It’s hard to like A’s at this price.
PREDICTION: Athletics ‘111
Al Central has been strangely competitive from the most sensible to the butt in 2020, however, the Twins are obviously still the elegance of the division. On Wednesday, they hands the ball to one of the new members of their rotation in Kenta Maeda as they close their series with the Brewers.
Maeda was temporarily installed in her new setting, with 2.65 MPM and an impressive 0.65 WHIP in its first 3 starts with Minnesota. He then faced a team of Brewers that hit 0.210 against the right-handers and placed 26th in problems consistent with the game.
On the other hand, Milwaukee hands the ball to Eric Lauer. The left-hander is making only his moment the beginning of 2020, however, the first did not go well, as he allowed six runs and five hits in three innings of paintings opposite the Reds. He now faces a Twin team that broke the record for maximum home races in a season last year.
It’s a position for the Twins’ race track, but the Brewers’ paddock can close any night. So the safest bet is to take the Twins to get a five-headed lead.
PREDICTION: Twins -0.5 First 5 Innings (+100)
