We’re headed into the dog days of Summer for baseball but that doesn’t mean our bets have to suffer as well. I shopped the odds at Fanduel Sportsbook and found three of my favorite “First 5” wagers on the market. Here are my MLB Best Bets for Wednesday, June 8th.
MLB F5 Best Bets – Wednesday, June 8th
Nationals +1.5 (-154) at Marlins
- Josiah Gray has given up 3 or fewer runs in three of his last four starts including May 18th in Miami
- He has a 4.18 ERA in 4 career starts against the Marlins
- 6 innings pitched & 3 or fewer runs allowed in all three career starts in South Beach
- Sandy Alcantara has an ERA around 2 over his last five starts against Washington
- He’s given up 1 run or fewer in four of those starts
- Alcantara has only 3 total runs over the F5 innings of his last five starts
Yankees at Twins Under 4.5 (+106)
- Nestor Cortes has allowed 1 or no runs in four of his last five starts
- Allowed no runs over the F5 innings in three of his last four starts
- Although he’s going just an average of 4 innings or so, Chris Archer has given up 2 or fewer runs in eight of ten and just 1 run in three of his last four starts this season
- Also significant that only D.J. LeMahieu and Anthony Rizzo have averages above .200 among Yankees regulars.
Mets at Padres Over 3.5 (-125)
- Chris Bassitt has allowed 3 or more runs over the F5 innings in three of his previous four starts
- Sean Manaea had given up 3+ runs over the F5 innings in five of the six starts prior to his last outing against Milwaukee and 2+ in all six
- Bassitt has regressed since April, surrendering 7 HR in three of his last four starts after allowing just 4 dingers through his first seven starts
- Manaea allows a ton of baserunners walking multiple hitters in four straight and in eight of his ten starts to begin 2022
- The New York offense leads MLB in team BA (.264), OBP (.335), hits (520), and they’re 2nd in runs/gm (5.12)
