What’s up friends, welcome back in to Leading Off.
The trade deadline is just hours away, and we’ve got a pair of Hard Rock Best Bets for Monday night.
Let’s get into it.
Welsh’s Best Bet: AZ-SD F5 Under 4.5 (+105)
I’m going with a first five innings run total in Diamondbacks vs. Padres. I know, it’s crazy. But give me under 4.5 runs for the first five in this one.
We’ve got Brandon Pfaadt, who’s been ridiculous in the early parts of games, going up against Michael King – who’s somewhat owned the Diamondbacks as of late. In his last two outings against Arizona, he’s given up 3 total earned runs.
If Pfaadt can continue this roll he’s been on and King can do the same, I like our chances tonight to keep this one low scoring.
Orrico’s Best Bet: SF-TEX Over 8.5 (+105)
I’m going the other way, taking an over tonight in Giants vs. Rangers.
This bet ultimately comes down to Cal Quantrill. I think he’s been extremely lucky to have a 3.84 ERA this season – he’s nowhere near that good, and we’re starting to see it recently.
Logan Webb is on the other side, and he hasn’t really had the same success we’re used to seeing from him this season.
At plus money for such a low total at 8.5, give me the over in Giants vs. Rangers for my Hard Rock Best Bet.
