What a busy week it has been in the world of baseball playoffs! Last week, we saw the D-backs get eliminated along with four other teams in the Wild Card Series. Now, we are gearing up for more action with the ALDS Game 2. Let’s dive into some gambling plays for the upcoming games.
First up, we have the Tigers facing off against the Guardians. Pitchers Tarik Skubal and Matthew Boyd will be taking the mound. Skubal has been impressive all season and delivered a strong performance in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series. While Boyd has been solid since late June, he may not work deep into the game. The Guardians have a top-notch bullpen and can rely on their studly relievers. The play here is the Tigers under 3.5 runs, as their offense may struggle against the Guardians’ pitching staff.
Next, we have the Royals taking on the Yankees, with pitchers Cole Ragans and Carlos Rodón set to pitch. Ragans had a great playoff debut, while Rodón has been on a hot streak lately. The play to watch here is Rodón recording over 15.5 outs, as he has been consistent in getting outs in his recent starts. Additionally, betting on Juan Soto to have over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI could be a smart move, as he has been looking sharp at the plate and has had success against Ragans in the past.
As we gear up for more ALDS action, these are some exciting matchups to keep an eye on. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis as the playoffs progress.
