Editor's Note: This written best bet is a transcription from the latest episode of the Payoff Pitch podcast.
Even though he's an All-Star, I'm not a big believer that Michael Wacha is anything more than a league-average pitcher.
You look at his peripherals and his career history, and that’s exactly what they tell us. He’s fine, but he’s nothing special—and he’s pitching in Coors Field today.
Because of that, I’m targeting Michael Wacha Under 17.5 Pitching Outs. You can get this at plus-money (+140) at bet365 for the best odds on the board, but I like this line down to -105.
Pick: Michael Wacha Under 17.5 Outs (-105 or Better)
