Frankie Montas OVER 14.5 Outs Recorded (-190)
Frankie Montas is making his debut for the New York Yankees, and I think this line is set way too low, and is worth taking despite the -190 juice.
Montas pitched just three innings in his first start for Oakland off the injured list, but his last start he went five innings and only needed 78 pitches to do so.
In 19 starts this season, Montas has gotten through five innings in all but three outings, and two were due to his recent injury.
Even though the St. Louis Cardinals are a solid team, this is a no-brainer pick for the newest Yankee starter.
Cody Bellinger UNDER 0.5 Hits (-105)
Cody Bellinger has actually been hot at the dish, picking up a hit in seven of his last 10 games, but I’m fading him on Sunday Night Baseball against the San Diego Padres.
Bellinger is still hitting just .205 on the season, and he has to face a tough starter in Yu Darvish, who has dominated him in his career.
Bellinger is 0-for-9 in his career against Darvish with one walk and three strikeouts. At some point, he’s going to cool off, and a matchup against Darvish seems like a perfect storm.
