Diamondbacks vs. Reds
Neither the Arizona Diamondbacks nor the Cincinnati Reds have been hitting the ball well of late. That might not change Thursday when Hunter Greene and Slade Cecconi take the bump. Greene has pitched to the tune of a 2.42 xERA thus far, while Cecconi owns a 2.34 xERA.
So, which team has the edge Thursday? Action Network's D.J. James makes his pick in the link below.
Mariners vs. Twins
The total for Mariners vs. Twins on Thursday is set at just seven. That is due in large part to the fact that Logan Gilbert will get the ball for Seattle. Gilbert is 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA and 0.79 WHIP through his first seven starts this season. On the other side, right-hander Pablo López has been relatively efficient as well, and the Twins' bullpen has been among the more reliable relief staffs in the league.
Despite the low total, could there still be value on the Under? MLB betting analyst Tony Sartori provides his best bet for the matchup below.
Astros vs. Yankees
The Astros have dropped four straight games and are at risk of getting swept by the Yankees (again) this season. Can New York notch its sixth straight win on Thursday? MLB betting expert Cody Goggin breaks down the series finale and offers a betting prediction.
