Tiny Nick’s Predicted Bets: 06/04
WNBA (0.5 Unit): 7:00 PM CT on NBATV; NY Liberty -2.5 First Quarter @ Chicago Sky (-110; Odds via Caesars).
The Sky should be wary of the Liberty juggernaut at this point. Chicago is one of two clubs that New York has yet to lead in the first quarter of this season; the first quarter of their match ended in a draw. However, Chicago was playing considerably better at the time; since then, they have only won once, against the lowly Sparks. They are currently 1-3.
The main reason, in my opinion, is that they have been distracted by everything since Caitlin Clark was shoved during their most recent game on Saturday. As a result, I believe they won’t be as ready for a hot Liberty team right away tonight. Given that these clubs are playing against one other, New York has an average first-quarter margin of plus-7.4 this season. As a result, the Liberty should strike early once more.
MLB (0.5 Unit) Washington Nationals vs. NY Mets Moneyline (+100) for First 5 Innings; DraftKings Odd: 5:45 PM CT on SNY
I adore the constant disregard Washington receives. With their strongest starting on the mound against a lesser team at home, how come they are the underdog? If you can bank on the better pitcher to be in the game, then go with them. Otherwise, don’t overthink it.
This season, Trevor Williams has been outstanding, which has helped elevate the Nationals team—who may not be as awful as you may assume. With a 1.69 ERA and a.173 opponent on-base average, he has been extremely effective at home, where the Nats have not only won all of his starts but have also not been behind after five innings. The Mets should struggle here as Washington takes an early lead, and I believe they are about to fall apart at the seams.
MLB (0.5 Unit): 6:07 PM CT on MASN2; Baltimore Orioles -1.5 @ Toronto Blue Jays (-110; Odds from BetMGM)
With a typical juice price on the run line and Corbin Burnes taking on Bowden Francis, how much more in-depth research is actually needed in this situation? Coming off the disabled list today, Francis is a relief pitcher who should get destroyed by this outstanding Orioles offence. His past tries to start games have not gone well; in those outings, he has a 1.92 WHIP and 12.96 ERA.
Meanwhile, Corbin Burnes, who is vying for the Cy Young award, takes on a Jays squad that has a lot of hitting problems at the moment. Baseball, show off your ridiculousness by taking this massive mismatch and turning it around.
Bonus Bet: First Inning (0.25 Unit) Over 0.5 Runs (+105; BetMGM Odds)
It’s the day now! For Toronto, no one has scored in the opening inning in 25 straight games. This has led to a significant change in juice, where you can now make more money on the YRFI even though the game’s total runs scored was just 8.5. I’ll accept it since I think Francis will be fired up right away tonight.
MLB (0.5 Unit) Blach Ty Recorded over 15.5 outs (-110; odds sourced from DraftKings) at 7:40 PM CT on COLR
Colorado may have the best pitcher in Ty Blach. With a respectable 3.25 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in his four starts this season, he has unquestionably been their best pitcher at home, where it is extremely tough to be a pitcher. As the season goes on, he’s also been pitching later into games, so this number more accurately represents his average start than his current trajectory.
The Rockies should rely more on Blach to absorb innings tonight because the bullpen ate up a lot of them last night, and the Cincinnati batters are about to regress, which should help him surpass this out total.
