In Cincinnati Reds VS Cleveland Guardians, the Guardians will be on the road as they begin a three-game set with the Reds tonight. Cleveland won the final of their three-game series with the Tamp Bay Rays down in the Sunshine State, winning 9-2, on Sunday afternoon to avoid a sweep. Cincinnati took two of three on the road from Pittsburgh as they split a doubleheader Sunday. They lost 4-2 in the opening game Sunday afternoon before scoring 6-5 in 10 innings in the nightcap.  Last season, the clubs divided four meetings with the road team emerging victorious in each contest: the Reds took a pair in Cleveland May 17-19, 2022 in the most recent between the teams.

Teams to play: Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians. MLB Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.92. Odds by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On The Cincinnati Reds 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.92 1XBet Over/Under: Over 9.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.87 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 9.5 Cincinnati Reds took two of three from the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend but still enter today’s series losers of their past 12 games after splitting a doubleheader Sunday. The Reds entered Monday 62-58 and were tied for second in the NL Central, 3.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers for the top spot. They were half a match behind the Miami Marins for the final wild-card spot in the National League. In the opening game of the doubleheader on Sunday, Spencer Steer had three hits, while Matt McLain (run, RBI) added two in a losing effort. Cincinnati was two of 15 with runners in scoring position in that game. Brandon Williamson threw 5.2 innings, permitting one run on two hits with two walks and six strikeouts. Alex Young (4-1) permitted two runs on one hit with one walk and no strikeouts in one inning of relief. Henry Ramos (run, RBI) had three hits while Elly De La Cruz (run, RBI) added a pair, including his 10th of the season. Luke Weaver threw 3.2 innings and allowed four runs on six hits with one walk and one strikeout. Daniel Duarte worked the 10th, allowing no runs on no hits with no walks and a strikeout, for his first save. Graham Ashcraft takes the hill for the Reds today, making it his 23rd start of the season for the Reds in this contest. He enters the match 6-7 with a 4.95 ERA, a 1.408 WHIP, 46 walks and 88 strikeouts over 120 innings of work on the season. The last time Ashcraft started was when he faced Miami on Wednesday night. He threw seven innings and permitted one run on three hits with one walk and seven strikeouts in a game the Cincinnati later dropped 5-4. In his last three starts, Graham is 1-0 with a 1.71 ERA, a 0.76 WHIP, three walks and 14 strikeouts over 21 innings of work. He is in his 42nd career major league start, and pitches against Cleveland for the first time in this outing. This contest will be his 24th career start. Betting On The Cleveland Guardians 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.023 1XBet Over/Under: Under 9.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.95 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 9.5 Cleveland Guardians won for the third time in nine games, downing the Tampa Bay Rays in the finale of their road series on Sunday afternoon. They improved to 57-62 and entered Monday second in the AL Central, 4.5 games behind the Minnesota Twins for the top position in the division. The Guardians were 8.5 matches behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the final wild-card spot in the American League playoff picture. On Sunday, Andres Gimenez (two runs, two RBI) got four hits for the team while Oscar Gonzalez (run, two RBI) contribute three to lead a 15-hit charge. Gimenez (his 11th) and Gabriel Arias (his sixth) each homered in the win for the Guardians. Tanner Bibee (9-2) earned the win as he threw seven innings, allowing two runs on seven hits with no walks and five strikeouts. Logan Allen has been chosen by the Guardians, as he makes his 18th start of the season in this contest. He enters the game 5-5 with a 3.55 ERA, a 1.369 WHIP, 35 walks and 88 strikeouts over 91.1 innings of work this season. Allen lost in his last start against the Toronto Blue Jays at home Wednesday night. He threw five innings, permitting one run on four hits with three walks and three strikeouts in a game they lost 1-0. Over his last three starts, Allen is 1-2 with a 4.24 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, 10 walks and 12 strikeouts over 17 innings of work. He is in his 18th career major league start, pitching against Cincinnati for the first time in this contest. MatchPlug Prediction Since August began, both clubs have been slacking, putting them at the back in their respective chase of playoff berths. Ashcraft has pitched well lately and it is a known fact that Cincinnati can score runs, although they’ll need to be better at stopping the opposition from putting them on the board. Cleveland has faced their issues at the dish this campaign and Allen comes in after dropping three of his last four starts. The team struggled on the road this season, posting a 26-34 mark, and Logan has recorded only two quality starts in eight road outings.  The Reds get the slim edge in this contest as they have the better-producing lineup offence-wise.

New York Yankees (50-47) VS Kansas City Royals (28-70) will face off today in New York City. The Royals won’t be sending out George Brett, nor will the Yankees use Reggie Jackson in this game.

Friday at 7.05 p.m. EDT, fans will show support to players from both sides. Experts and spectators alike anticipate the winner.

When: Friday, July 22nd, 2023. Time: 00:05 GMT Teams to play: New York Yankees VS Kansas City Royals. MLB Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.506 Odds by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On The New York Yankees 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.506 1XBet Over/Under: Over 8.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.48 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 8.5 Aaron Judge is still absent, and New York’s lineup still sucks without him. Since June 4, the first match without Judge, the Yankees are 28th in runs per game. This season they’re 20-28 and scoring 3.71 per game without their captain. The Yankees are in fifth place in home runs; so their power hasn’t eluded them. But, an OBP that is 26th and a 28th-ranked batting average, making most of the big dogs solo shots. Gleyber Torres is hot this month, Anthony Rizzo has been cold since the start of June, and the other lineup members are a giant question mark. New York stayed afloat with pitching, but it looks like they’re now feeling the pressure. Mainly the relievers, as their league-leading ERA this year has grown within a month playing the worst teams in MLB among bullpens. Starting pitching has been unreliable except for Gerrit Cole, although Clarke Schmidt has played better recently.  Schmidt will start for the series, hoping to build on a 2.76 ERA gathered over his last 10 outings. This includes a New York win in three of the last four. He is presently posting career bests in walk rate and K/BB. With 16 strikeouts and one walk this month, let’s see if he can mow batters down. Betting On The Kansas City Royals 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.847 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.70 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 8.5 Kansas City Royals have been at the bottom for a while now. They’ve spent most of the year sinking with minimal swimming. Just one game ahead of the Oakland Athletics who are last in the standings, the Royals will need weekend wins to create a gap. Scoring will help, as they have been held to three or lesser runs nine times through the 16 July matches. The Royals are 29th in runs per game this season and have been MLB’s lowest-scoring team since the beginning of July. Besides stealing bases, Kansas City has one of the worst offensive teams in the league statistically. They have their moments, but, their bats are often asleep. This year has been equally rough on the mound, Kansas has one of the league’s worst staffs, but due to the rotation and bullpen. They have traded away reliever Aroldis Chapman too. Alec Marsh will want to prove that he is a player to keep long-term when he starts today’s game.  After a rough debut on June 30, Marsh replied with 11.0 innings and five runs permitted (four earned) this month. Home runs are a challenge, especially at Yankee, as he has conceded five of them in 15.0 career innings. Replicating the 11-strikeout, one-walk performance of his last outing will help reduce the damage at least. MatchPlug Prediction The New York Yankees are expected to win this game. But, they have not given enough lately, mainly at the plate, to see today’s match as an easy one. Even when playing against one of the worst teams in MLB. Kansas City Royals just played against the Tigers four times, another bad offence, and their only loss against the run line was due to them being shut out. Marsh may concede a couple of home runs but probably won’t get in much trouble otherwise. That keeps them in the game, and if they don’t win they’ll at least be one swing away in the end. Prediction: New York Yankees Moneyline.

When: Friday, July 21st, 2023. Time: 23:40 GMT Teams to play: Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles. MLB Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.69 Odds by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On The Tampa Bay Rays 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.69 1XBet Over/Under: Over 8.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.70 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 8 The Tampa Bay Rays are black sliding, falling to a sweep by Texas Rangers in its last series. They are 4-11 in their last 15 games, which permitted the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays to cover enough ground in the AL East standings. Tampa Bay averages 5.31 runs (4th) and hit .258 (9th) with a .780 OPS (4th). They’ve hit 146 home runs (4th) and stolen 114 bases (2nd) this season. The pitching staff sports a 3.37 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP (3rd) with 30 quality starts (19th). Eflin with start for the home team today. He boasts a 105:15 K:BB ratio this season. He wasn’t on his best form in his last appearance, conceding five runs and seven hits in just three innings in a loss to Kansas City Royals. He held his last five opponents to three or lesser earned runs. Betting On The Baltimore Orioles 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.36 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.20 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 8 The Baltimore Orioles lost two of three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers in their last series, but it still gave them enough points to move up in the AL East standings into a first-position tie with the Rays. Which of these teams will end the week at the top? The Orioles score 4.98 runs per game (8th) and hits .255 (12th) with a .751 OPS (9th). They hit 114 homers (12th) and stole 66 bases (16th in 2023. Baltimore’s pitching staff has a 4.22 ERA (16th and a 1.31 WHIP (19th with 36 quality starts (11th). Bradish will pitch for the visiting team this evening. He sports an 87:24 K:BB ratio in 2023. He lasted 7.1 frames in his last start, holding the Miami Marlins to three hits and zero runs with eight strikeouts in a victory. Bradish has permitted two or lesser runs in six successive outings and hasn’t conceded more than three runs since May 23rd (four runs vs. NYY). MatchPlug Prediction The Rays are 55-28 SU as favourites and 34-14 SU as home favourites. They are 17-10 vs. AL East competition this season. These clubs have been in opposite directions recently, but Tampa  Bay will defend its home pitch tonight. Eflin surrendered five runs in his last start, but his track record makes a case for his capacity, than a bad performance against the Royals. He’ll come back in a big way vs. a prime-time opponent in Baltimore, holding the Orioles to two or fewer runs, a goal he has attained in ten games this season. In his last start against the Rays, Brandish leveraged early support that let him pitch with less pressure on him. This may not be the case today. Baltimore’s offence, scoring 5.6 runs per game in July, will stop soon. Tampa’s offence, averaging 3.3 runs this month, is ready for a breakthrough performance, which may happen against Bradish. He conceded 16 hits and 11 runs in his two starts (9.1 IP) vs. the Rays last season. Prediction: Tampa Bay Rays moneyline.

They still have time to make up ground, but they must do so, urgently. Detroit averages 3.93 runs (28th) and hit .230 (28th) with a .667 OPS (29th). They’ve hit 90 homers (26th) and stolen 46 bases (28th) this season. The Tigers’ pitching staff has posted a 4.41 ERA (20th) and a 1.24 WHIP (5th) with 21 quality starts (28th). Olson will pitch for the home team today. He conceded six hits and two earned runs in his last outing versus the Seattle Mariners, taking the defeat. His last long start was back on June 24 against Minnesota, when he lasted 5.1 innings and conceded only one earned run and four hits with nine strikeouts.  Betting On The San Diego Padres 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.765 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.70 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 9 The San Diego Padres concluded their series in Toronto with the Blue Jays on Thursday. They won the first two matches of the three-game set, advancing five games under the .500 mark.  The Padres score 4.5 runs per game (15th) and hit .234 with a .730 OPS (15th). They’ve launched 121 long balls (9th) and stolen 77 bases (9th) this year. The pitching staff boasts a 3.77 ERA (4th) and a 1.25 WHIP (10th) with 45 quality starts (4th). Lugo will start for the visiting team in game one. The righty didn’t give his best performance in the last start, conceding five runs and seven hits, plus two homers. He was in charge for most of the game but came undone in the sixth inning, giving the lead in a match the Padres lost in extra innings. Lugo played much better in his last four starts, holding opponents to five total runs in 24 combined frames. MatchPlug Prediction Lugo has been a key piece in the Padres’ rotation this season, delivering seven excellent starts in his 13 outings. Even in his last start, where he tore through the Philadelphia Phillies’ lineup right to the sixth inning before he lost. He’s been mostly unbeaten by opposing teams this year, permitting three or fewer runs in 10 starts.  Experts predict that Lugo will have another great outing against the Tigers (.228 BA/.296 OBP/.359 SLG/.655 OPS vs. right-handed pitchers). The Padres’ offense was subdued on Thursday but otherwise came to life in Toronto, scoring nine runs on Tuesday and mustering a low-scoring victory on Wednesday. They scored 22 runs in four games against Philadelphia in their past series, too. After a better performance at the dish in June  (.257/.336/.424/.760), San Diego seems close to a breakthrough to close the month. Prediction: San Diego Padres Moneyline.

But, nominated starters Aaron Judge (New York Yankees) and Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels may not be available at all to participate in the 2023 MLB All-Star Game. Judge and Trout are already on the injured list so they’ll definitely not be showing up for Tuesday’s action. While Ohtani’s presence is questionable. On that note, there are lots of excellent offensive talent in the American League even without the big three players. Randy Arozarena (Tampa Bay Rays), Marcus Semien (Texas Rangers), Corey Seager (Rangers), and Yandy Diaz (Rays) will bring their strength to the starting unit of the AL.  However, the real power of this team is in its pitching with players like Gerrit Cole (New York Yankees), Framber Valdez (Houston Astros), and Luis Castillo (Seattle Mariners) leading the AL on the mound. Castillo is experienced is familiar with the venue of this event as it’s in Seattle. This is also an advantage for George Kirby another Mariners All-Star.  Starting pitcher: TBA.

NL’s offense has ex-NL MVP Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers. There is Luis Arraez of the Miami Marlins. Ronald Acuna Jr. of the Atlanta Braves will join Freeman and Arraez. These three will carry this unit for the team. Arraez is a top candidate to become the first player since 1953 to hit .400 in a season. Acuna has already made history as the first player in MLB history to reach 20 home runs, 50 RBI, and 40 stolen bases. Also starting for the National League are Sean Murphy (Braves), Nolan Arenado (St. Louis Cardinals), Orlando Arcia (Braves), Mookie Betts (Dodgers), Corbin Carroll (Arizona Diamondbacks), and JD Martinez (Dodgers). Taking the mound for the National League is another strong cast in Spencer Strider (Braves), Mitch Keller (Pittsburgh Pirates), Zac Gallen (Diamondbacks), and Marcus Stroman (Chicago Cubs). Starting pitcher: TBA. MatchPlug Prediction The American League enters this 2023 MLB All-Star Game matchup on a nine-game win streak. They also lead the all-time series, 47-43. But experts take the National League to put an end to their long drought and win the 2023 edition of the Midsummer Classic. National League is packed with powerhouses, especially the offense unit. While the AL will be playing without Judge and Trout, the NL has all their best players ready for battle. Final Prediction: American League Moneyline.

The ex-Cy Young Award winner seems to be the ideal man for the job on the mound for his team, which looked generally well lately, winning three of their last four games. Snell’s last start ended in a 10-3 win for the Padres against the Los Angeles Angels at home last Monday when he pitched five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts.  Backing Snell is the Padres’ offense which is supporting him with 4.50 runs per nine innings. Juan Soto leads the Padres this year with a .915 OPS while Fernando Tatis Jr. is slashing .287/.346/.528 while leading the team too with 16 homers. Starting pitcher: Blake Snell (5-7, 3.03 ERA).

David Peterson will take the mound for the Mets today, he is off an impressive performance in an 8-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants at home last Sunday. Peterson permitted only an earned run on three hits in four innings in that competition. Peterson’s ERA is nothing to write home about, but he’s doing the work to lower it over his last few starts as he continues to improve. Last May, his ERA was 8.08 but is now at 6.61 after two starts. The Mets on the other hand will stay hot on offense when they meet Snell. New York players have a career batting average of .281 against Snell. Pete Alonso is a 5-for-13 lifetime in that matchup. Starting pitcher: David Peterson (2-6, 6.61 ERA).

With the Pirates, Grove permitted only a run on five hits, although in just four innings of a 5-2 victory by the Dodgers, whose offense will also be a big problem for Reid Detmers of the Angels. Mookie Betts hit .341 with six home runs and 14 RBU in his last 13 matches. David Peralta slashed .326/.362/.512 in the same span, while Freddie Freeman former National League MVP put together a .320/.346/.520 triple slash line in the last six matches.

Detmers feels good after a top performance in his most current start where he allowed only two earned runs on three hits in 6.0 innings of a 5-2 victory at home over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Making it two consecutive wins for the Angels when Detmers starts. Detmers has gradually reduced his ERA in all his last five starts and will enter tomorrow morning’s game carrying a 2-0 record with a 1.42 ERA over that stretch. While he is winless this year in road starts so far, Detmers looks good in his last appearance away from Anaheim, conceding just an earned run on three this with eight strikeouts in a 6-3 defeat in Arlington to the division leaders Texas Rangers on 14th June. Starting pitcher: Reid Detmers (2-5, 3.72 ERA). MatchPlug Prediction Los Angeles Dodgers will sweep the Angels with another absolute victory, thanks to their strong offense.  Final Prediction: Dodgers Moneyline.

Related: MLB EXPERT PICKS: Baltimore Orioles VS Toronto Blue Jays betting Predictions MatchPlug Prediction The Mariners have struggled lately and Kirby is not exempted from the slump. Seattle has had issues in all areas recently and that could be a problem as they face the Marlins that demonstrated great resilience while securing wins. Miami trailed behind in the 9th inning on Saturday and Sunday against the White Sox before gathering to win each contest. Cabrera managed to work on his control over his past several outings: after delivering 30 free passes in his first 8 starts spanning 47 innings, he walked only 8 while striking out 31 over 27.2 innings in his last five starts.  Miami has won four of those five outings in that span and the team generally had a lot of momentum. The Marlins will have the upper hand as Seattle struggles to add runs to the board at home. Final Prediction: Seattle Mariners Moneyline.

MLB Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.827 Odds by 1XBet and BetMGM. Betting On The Baltimore Orioles 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.137 1XBet Over/Under: Over 8.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.05 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 8.5 Having the third-best winning percentage in MLB, Baltimore is set for the postseason. They ride this series on the wings of a four-game winning streak, thanks to efforts from a pitching staff that’s decapitating opponents. In those four games, the Orioles permitted a total of 9 runs and never conceded more than 3 in a match. The team’s last poor pitching performance was started by Dean Kremer, but he can join other effective staff in this game. Particularly if he restricts the Blue Jays to one run as he did in 5.1 innings a few weeks ago. Kremer has had the most underwhelming season, with a 10.5 H/9 and 4.67 FIP, but he just needs to keep today’s match manageable. Sitting in the wings is a group of relievers that lead MLB in FIP and War, according to FanGraphs. However, Baltimore’s offence shouldn’t be slept on, as they enter today’s match 6th in runs per game, averaging 4.97. They’ve delivered 26 runs during their active winning streak, surpassing 5 runs in 3 of those games.  The Orioles thrive in the same as the Blue Jays, with a strikeout rate that ranks 9th and a walk rate ranked 12th. They set the ball in motion, stole bases (tied for 7th place with Toronto), and struck bad pitches over the fences. Even in the absence of leadoff hitter Cedric Mullins, they found ways to win. Betting On The Toronto Blue Jays 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.827 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.78 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 8.5 What is a good season for the Toronto Blue Jays, would be better if they just knew how to defeat their division rivals. A 6-15 record against the AL Easy put them in 4th and almost out of a playoff spot. A 4.57 ERA against the East, way higher than their 9th-ranked 3.88 mark all season is one area the Blue Jays can improve on. Chris Bassitt is in line for this start, and he’s been on fire lately. Over the last 15.2 innings pitched, Bassitt only permitted two runs. He hasn’t walked anyone in those two starts and has 13 strikeouts to match. With a bullpen that is top-10 in ERA, this might be a good meeting for Toronto’s pitching staff in the division. The team’s offense is averaging 4.6 runs per game this season, 12th in the league, and floats around that mark against the division. Gathering hits is how the Blue Jays win, and there is no team in MLB with more knocks. There are just two teams with a higher batting average or OBP. Alongside those marks, Toronto has the fourth-lowest strikeout rate and seventh-most stolen bases. They are in 10th place in slugging and 11th in homers. This lineup can taunt pitchers in any given match and could be explosive. MatchPlug Prediction This match leaves many questions in its wake. Can Chris Bassitt deliver a third straight line against a dangerous offense in hostile territory? Will the Blue Jays cast out intradivision demons against a team that punked them on the home pitch? Given the way the Baltimore Orioles have been swinging lately, it is not looking possible. Baltimore may be sending out one of their weaker starters, but Kremer shut down Toronto once this season, there is no telling that he won’t do it again. If Dean keeps this match close, the Orioles’ bullpen will defeat the Blue Jays on most nights. With both sides’ offenses roughly equal, the hosts look better at home. Final Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays Moneyline.
