Saturday, August 4
St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates
The Cardinals might have found another fantastic starting pitcher. Austin Gomber has a 3.22 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and a 1 and 0 record from a single start this season. He’s primarily been throwing from the Cardinals’ bullpen. The Pirates have only faced Gomber 8 times. He struck out 2 of those 8 batters. If Gomber has become a viable starting pitcher, there’s no reason to believe he doesn’t shut down Pitt’s offense. The Cardinals should beat the Pirates on Saturday. MLB NL Betting Pick: St. Louis CardinalsSan Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks
San Francisco pitcher Andrew Suarez has thrown okay versus the D’Backs. Suarez allows AZ to hit .256. The Giants have gone 5 and 2 straight up in Suarez’s last 7 starts. AZ counters Suarez with pitcher Clay Buchholz. Buchholz has been fantastic this season. His ERA is 2.65 while his WHIP is a great 1.06. His record of 4 and 1 is also very good. Arizona has won the last 3 games Buchholz has started. Buchholz and AZ are hot. The D’Backs are the play. MLB NL Betting Pick: Arizona DiamondbacksSunday, August 5
