Gary Bart Handicapping: Top-Rated Sports Picks

Chicago’s Erick Fedde is 0-3 this season. Fedde has a good ERA this season, but he has been inconsistent throughout his career. The Angels will turn to Sam Aldegheri who will be making his second appearance of the season. Aldegheri was recalled from AAA for this start. Take the Angels.

Arizona returns home from a 1-5 road trip. The Pirates’ Bubba Chandler has been inconsistent in his last two starts. The Diamondbacks have had some success at home. They are 9-6 on their home field. Take Arizona.

Cleveland’s Gavin Williams is off to a good start, but he has pitched better at home than on the road. The Royals have scored 20 runs in their last four games. Take the Royals.

It is not often that you get the Yankees playing at home at such a cheap price. The reason for that is that New York will face Jacob deGrom for the second time in the last few weeks. deGrom pitched well at home in the first meeting. The Yankees should benefit from seeing deGrom last week and they have played good baseball at home. Take the Yankees.

Gausman versus Rassmussen is a good pitching matchup. Rassmussen has pitched well is five of his last six starts and the Rays are 12-4 at home. Take Tampa Bay.

Both teams are coming off Game 7 wins. These teams split four games this season. Detroit was a better team during the regular season, but the Cavs have more players that have playoff experience. Detroit had a very good home record, but they were 500 ATS on their home court. Take Cleveland.
