Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco Giants

• When: Monday, May 27th, 2024, 5:05 PM ET
• Where: Oracle Park, San Francisco, CA
• TV: ESPN+, NBCSP, NBCSBA, MLBN
• Radio: WIP 94.1 FM (Phillies) // KNBR 104.5 FM (Giants)
• Live Stream: MLB.tv
• MLB Betting Odds: Phillies (-102) // Giants (-112)

Road team Philadelphia sends Taijuan Walker to the mound. Although Walker has a 5.06 ERA and less than optimal 1.54 WHIP, Walker is 3-0 in 5 games started this season. Taijuan can have a bad outing and his mates pick it up at the plate.

For example, on April 28 at pitcher friendly Petco Park in San Diego, Walker yielded 6 earned runs off 8 hits in 6 innings. The Phillies scored 8, though, to prevent Taijuan from recording a loss.

In his last, Walker gave up 3 earned runs off 6 hits to the Rangers in 4.2 innings. The scorching Phillies scored 11 runs in the 11-4 victory. Every time Walker runs into trouble, his teammates bail him out.

The Giants paid a king’s ransom for Blake Snell’s services for this season. The investment, at least so far, hasn’t turned out to be all that wise. Snell is 0-3 with an 11.40 ERA and a ridiculously terrible 2.07 WHIP.

No doubt, the Phillies blast Snell. So if you want to play the moneyline, or even the run line if Philadelphia is favored, go with Walker and the Phillies. Also consider going over because Snell, for some inexplicable reason, can’t throw anything with authority.

MLB Betting Pick: Phillies

Houston Astros vs. Seattle Mariners

• When: Monday, May 27th, 2024, 9:40 PM ET
• Where: T-Mobile Park, Seattle, Washington
• TV: SCHN, RSNW, MLBN
• Radio: SportsTalk 790 AM (Astros) // Seattle Sports 710 AM (Mariners)
• Live Stream: MLB.tv
• MLB Betting Odds: Astros (-128) // Mariners (+112)

The Stros send road warrior Framber Valdez to the mound, which should give Houston a chance to beat Bryce Miller and the Seattle Mariners. Valdez has struggled at home. He’s been awesome in his 2 away starts, going 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA and striking out 10.

Framber should do enough for Houston to stay in this game. Aiding the Houston will beat Seattle thesis is the fact that the Mariners have lost their last 3 games when Miller has climbed the hill. Miller threw well versus the A’s on May 11, giving up 2 runs in 6 innings, but Seattle lost 8-1 after the bullpen imploded.

Then the Mariners fell 9-2 to Baltimore after Miller gave up 4 earned runs in 5 innings. Miller gave up 5 earned runs to the Yankees in a 7-3 Seattle loss. The bullpen in Seattle has become a liability, and the Mariners aren’t well enough to backstop the BP. Taking a swing on Valdez the Stros makes sense.
