Hello and good Friday to you! Friday is typically a beacon of good news, and this week, it signals another round of betting predictions from CBS Sports. Today, we have a full roster of 15 games with the evening being a great opportunity due to favorable hitting conditions.
Betting Lines: All lines will be referenced from DraftKings.
Corbin Burnes to Record a Win (-130)
The Rockies appear to be having a rough season, and betting against them is certainly viable. Instead of taking a hefty moneyline of -395, it’s more strategic to bet on Burnes earning the win, especially given his recent performances against stronger teams like the Mets and Dodgers.
MacKenzie Gore Over 6.5 K (-125)
Facing the last-ranked Orioles, who struggle against left-handed pitches, MacKenzie Gore leads in strikeouts, making this a solid bet.
Home Run Predictions
Weather conditions at Wrigley Field on Friday suggest a fantastic setting for homers. With temperatures around 82 degrees and winds blowing out, expect power hitters to shine, especially Cubs and White Sox players like Seiya Suzuki and Dansby Swanson.
Future Bet: Aaron Judge to Hit .400+ (+7500)
Considering his phenomenal average, placing a low-stakes bet on Judge hitting .400 is enticing. While it’s a long shot, it promises significant returns if he maintains his form.
