39-33 on MLB in 2018 up 9.32 units

Kimbrel blew another save last night. He has two blown saves on the season and I bet the Red Sox in both those games. I don’t blame last night all on Kimbrel though, The Red Sox had a 1 run lead and runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs in the top of the 8th. The Red Sox then went strikeout, strikeout, Betts intentional walk, then ground out. Gardner was the hero for the Yanks in the 8th, then Judge put the icing on the cake with a center field line drive homer. The Diamondbacks got up, but their bullpen blew it against the Dodgers. Diamondbacks just left too many runners stranded to get a win. Alex Wood did not pitch as well as the number suggest for the Dodgers.

Royals ML at -105 for 2 units. Chris Tillman fade. Tillman is 3-3 with a 5.37 ERA versus the Royals in his career. Tillman gave up 7 runs in 1 inning last time out vs the Angels. Ian Kennedy has pitched well for the Royals this season, but needs some more run support. I think he gets that support today.

Yankees ML at -140 for 2 units. Yankees are hot and have the better starter on the mound. Not going to overthink this one.

Braves ML at -109 for 2 units. Similar starting pitchers here, but the Braves have the better bullpen and the better bats. 21 year old Ozzie Albies leads the NL in runs scored and doubles in his rookie season. Caleb Smith has been pitching lights out for the Marlins, but I still like Foltynewicz and the Braves.
