Seven relievers pitched one or more innings in a 7-3 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flaherty has had a solid year (3.01 ERA) and is living around this total since he joined the Dodgers on Aug. 6. In six starts with L.A., he&#8217;s cleared this line twice while landing on exactly 17 outs (5.2 IP) three other times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The veteran righty has thrown north of 92 pitches in eight straight starts and is capable of having a workhorse-like outing against the struggling Guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cleveland has a formidable offence but it&#8217;s slumping at the moment. The team ranks 26th in wRC+ (90) and batting average (.226) versus righties over the last 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flaherty has seen plenty of the Guards from his days with the Detroit Tigers and the results are favourable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Flaherty has cleared this total in four straight starts versus the Guardians and has held their lineup to a collective .226 batting average in 93 plate appearances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cole over 6.5 strikeouts (+120):<\/strong> I&#8217;ll go ahead and say it &#8230; Cole is back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:93921\">Embed: #93921<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reigning AL Cy Young winner put a rocky start behind him and owns a 1.85 ERA across six outings since Aug. 1. He owns a 10.6 K\/9 in that span and has cleared this total four times, most recently fanning nine Texans in 6.0 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The swing-and-miss stuff is coming back and that should scare the rest of MLB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cole&#8217;s 26.7% K rate ranks in Baseball Savant&#8217;s 77th percentile. The Cubs are a middle-of-the-pack team for both K and whiff rate, which doesn&#8217;t concern me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Yankees ace has a 25.0% K rate in 68 plate appearances against the Cubs&#8217; current lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Witt to score (-121):<\/strong> If Aaron Judge didn&#8217;t exist, Witt would be pounding on the AL MVP door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:93920\">Embed: #93920<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s in the midst of one of the best-ever seasons for a shortstop and is leading MLB in batting average (.336), hits (191) and runs (118).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That alone could be the sell, but Witt has a favourable matchup coming his way, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minnesota Twins are trotting out Simeon Woods Richardson, who has a 5.79 ERA across his last seven starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kansas City&#8217;s leadoff man should do damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picks made at 9:48 a.m. ET on 09\/08\/2024<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trio of big names headline Sunday&#8217;s MLB prop bets.
