Indians vs. Red Sox
BET: Indians at the moneyline with PointsBet (+130)
📈 3.2% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
We kicked off our plays for Saturday with the Indians producing some magic on their last strike in the top of the 9th to tie things up. Boston would eventually walk it off with a single, but we cashed our run line pick which was all we really cared about. Today the Indians find themselves in an interesting spot with a favorable pitching matchup based off of recent form.
For Cleveland, Zach Plesac will be the one starting things off. Plesac has comfortably won both of his last two starts and goes into today's game with a 3.63 ERA over his last three games. The same can't be said for Nick Pivetta, though. The Boston pitcher that we used to affectionately call Nicky P around these parts, is hemorrhaging runs as of late with a 10.13 ERA in his last three. Something seems amiss for Pivetta who has only claimed one team win in his last six appearances for Boston. There's some good value here for Cleveland to avoid the series sweep.

Pirates vs. Cubs
BET: Total runs OVER 9 with PointsBet (-105)
📈 2.1% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
Three games this weekend, three games Over. These two have piled on the runs at the small Wrigley Field with every game registering at least 11 runs or more. There's no reason why we see that form stopping today with Wil Crowe and Zach Davies both sporting some pretty hefty pitching numbers this season.

Braves vs. Rockies
BET: Braves at the run line with PointsBet (-120)
📈 2.7% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
Austin Gomber has been moved to the IL for the Rockies, leaving a big hole to fill as Colorado meet Atlanta today. The Braves have lost two consecutive games this series over the past two nights but will be boosted by the fact that because of Gomber's absence, they'll get a first look at Ryan Feltner who will be making his pitching debut in the Majors. The pressure of making your pro league debut anywhere is daunting, no less at a place known for a high quantity of dingers. We've got the occasion being a little too much to handle for Feltner.
