Up All Night

Due to a last posting, we’ve learned that the Detroit Tigers and Washington Nationals game has been postponed due to rain. The makeup doubleheader will take place tomorrow. That leaves us with two West Coast matchups tonight—starting in Seattle around 6:40 PM PT, followed by a late-night showdown in Los Angeles at 7:10 PM.

🎯 Pick 10 (7:45pm ET/3:45pm PT)

⚾ Detroit @ Washington

🚫 Game postponed due to rain – Doubleheader scheduled for tomorrow.

⚾ Kansas City @ Seattle

A matchup of inflated ERAs: Michael Lorenzen enters with a 4.91 ERA, while Emerson Hancock counters with a 5.30. Don’t expect a strikeout per inning from either starter, but you might see a handful of walks. Offensively, Seattle has more familiarity with Lorenzen, and Cal Raleigh has shown success at the plate. He snapped a seven-game homer drought last night with his 33rd of the season—perhaps a sign he’s heating up.

  1. Michael Lorenzen – Over/Under 4.5 strikeouts
  2. Bobby Witt Jr. – Over/Under 0.5 runs
  3. J.P. Crawford – Over/Under 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs
  4. Dominic Canzone – Over/Under 0.5 strikeouts
  5. Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 0.5 walks

🏆 Pick 5 Margin (10:10pm ET/7:10pm PT)

⚾ Chicago White Sox @ LA Dodgers

It’s a clash of extremes—Chicago near the bottom of the standings and Los Angeles firmly at the top. That said, the White Sox are riding some momentum after taking two of three from the Giants this weekend.

The Dodgers will start Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who’s been stellar at home, averaging 1.1 strikeouts per inning over his last month with nearly six innings per outing. Meanwhile, rookie Shane Smith takes the mound for Chicago after a tough appearance vs. the Diamondbacks, giving up five earned runs in just two innings. However, Smith has struck out more batters on the road—averaging just under one K per inning compared to 0.8 at home.

  1. Shane Smith – Strikeouts
  2. Andrew Benintendi – Hits+Runs+RBIs
  3. Yoshinobu Yamamoto – Strikeouts
  4. Freddie Freeman – Hits+Runs+RBIs
  5. Mookie Betts – Hits+Runs+RBIs
