MLB Betting Action – White Sox Host O’s, Rays Host Red Sox
By Eric WIlliams
The BetUS Baseball Betting Community is treated to two American League Free Picks in the BetUS Sportsbook with this Saturday MLB baseball wagering original.
The Chicago White Sox host the Baltimore Orioles in one matchup while the Boston Red Sox will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the surprising Rays in another American League matchup.
Check out each MLB Free Picks below before making your selection on each contest in the BetUS Sportsbook.
Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox
Orioles starting pitcher Steve Trachsel is 1-3 in four starts covering 20.2 innings with nine strikeouts, 12 walks and an ERA of 5.23.
White Sox starting pitcher John Danks is 2-1 in four starts covering 23.2 innings with 16 strikeouts, seven walks and a 3.04 ERA.
Analysis: The Baltimore Orioles are one of the most pleasant surprises in all of baseball in the early going of 2008, but they won’t win this contest with Trachsel going up against the fire-balling Danks. Take the surprising Chicago White Sox to another game for their fiery manager Ozzie Guillen.
MLB Free Picks: White Sox 5 Orioles 3
Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays
Red Sox starting pitcher Clay Buchholz is 1-1 in four starts covering 20.2 innings with 18 strikeouts, eight walks and a 4.79 ERA.
Rays starting pitcher Edwin Jackson is 2-2 in four starts covering 23.1 innings with 18 strikeouts, 13 walks and an ERA of 4.63.
Analysis: While Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz is certainly not a better pitcher than Tampa Bay’s Edwin Jackson, the Red Sox do possess the better and more powerful batting order in this matchup. Take the Red Sox to win this game by beating up Tampa Bay’s mediocre middle relief pitching.
MLB Free Picks: Red Sox 7 Rays 4
