Seattle Mariners (Hernandez) @ New York Yankees (Sabathia)
Game# 965-966

The MLB betting odds at 5Dimes is indicating that there’s a total of 9.0 on this American League game.

Since 2017, these teams have seen 9 of their 13 games played against one another go under the total.
As a matter of fact, 5 of their 6 meetings in 2018 stayed under.

Seattle is slated to go with veteran right-hander Felix Hernandez on Monday. Since 2015, “King Felix” has made 3 starts at Yankee Stadium and posted an excellent 1.69 ERA during those outings.
The Yankees will turn to C.C. Sabathia in this opener of a 3-games series. The 38-year-old southpaw has pitched very well thus far in 2019 while collecting a 2.66 ERA during those appearances. Sabathia has yet to allow an earned run in 2 starts at Yankee Stadium this year. Since 2018, the Yankees hurler has gone under in 14 of his 18 starts when there was a total of 9.0 or 9.5.

Pick: Under 9.0 (-105)

Minnesota Twins (Perez) @ Toronto Blue Jays (Stroman)
Game# 969-970

Heritage is showing a total of 8.5 on this game that will be played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Oliver Perez is set to make his 5th start of the season for Minnesota. Perez has compiled an impressive 2.08 ERA in his first 4 starts and 3 of those games went under the total.

The Blue Jays Marcus Stroman draws today’s starting assignment. Stroman has a microscopic 0.76 ERA in 4 home starts this season and 3 of the 4 went under. Toronto’s right-hander will be facing a Minnesota Twins team that’s drawing an average of 2.97 walks per game. Since 2017, Stroman has witnessed all 8 of his starts going under the total when going up against teams averaging 3.0 or fewer walks per game. The Blue Jays bullpen has been outstanding throughout their previous 7 games while gathering a 2.23 ERA and 1.08 WHIP.

Neither team has been hitting of late. Toronto is averaging just 3.0 runs per game and owns a poor .217 team batting average over its last 7 outings. Minnesota has a terrible .200 team batting average and .643 OPS during their previous 7 games. It’s also worth noting, Toronto has gone over the total in just 4 of its first 15 home games.

Pick: Under 8.5 (+100)

New York Mets (DeGrom) @ San Diego Padres (Paddack)
Game# 961-962

The betting odds at BetOnline is displaying a total of 6.5 on this National League game.

The Mets Jacob DeGrom has made 4 career starts at San Diego and gathered a terrific 1.59 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in those outings. Furthermore, DeGrom has a dominating 1.50 ERA during 3 road starts this season. DeGrom can have confidence in relying on a Mets bullpen that’s shown drastic improvement thru their last 7 games. During that span, Mets relievers have a combined 2.05 ERA.

New York has been anemic offensively of late. They’ve scored only 1.4 runs per game over their last 5 games and have gone under 6 straight times.

Chris Paddack has been a pleasant surprise thus far for San Diego. Paddack has an inspiring 1.91 ERA and 0.70 WHIP during his 6 starts in 2019. Those pitching performances were a major contributor to 5 of those 6 games going under the total. Paddack will be facing a Mets team that’s gone 19-7 under (73.1%) during the past 2 seasons when facing a National League starting pitcher who possesses an ERA of 3.20 or better.

This game has all the signs of being a very low scoring affair. One of my MLB picks on Monday concurs with that previous statement.

Pick: Under 6.5 (-110)
