Tampa Bay Rays vs Detroit Tigers Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Rays at Tigers at 6:40 PM ET
On Tuesday, the Rays will commence the game with Ryan Pepiot on the mound. This season, Pepiot has recorded an 8-6 win-loss record alongside a 3.64 ERA across 24 starts. Over the course of his career, he holds a 13-7 record with a 3.30 ERA in 41 appearances, 34 of which were as a starter.
Tarik Skubal is scheduled to take the field for Detroit on Tuesday. Throughout the current season, he has compiled a record of 17 victories against 4 defeats, with an ERA of 2.48 and a total of 221 strikeouts.
The Pick:
In his last three starts, Skubal boasts a 1-0 record, having given up four earned runs over 16.2 innings. Pepiot also shares a 1-0 record in his last trio of outings, with four earned runs allowed in 13.1 innings. The Detroit Tigers have been demonstrating strong offensive capabilities lately, managing to score three or more runs in six out of their last seven games. Should the Tigers replicate this performance on Tuesday, they will be well-positioned to succeed with Skubal pitching.
Chicago Cubs vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Cubs at Phillies at 6:40 PM ET
Justin Steele is set to take the mound for the Cubs, boasting a 5-5 record alongside an ERA of 3.03. In his latest performance against Oakland, he completed 2.2 innings, surrendering two hits while not conceding any runs.
Tanner Banks will start for the Phillies on Tuesday. The 32-year-old reliever is 2-2 with a 3.79 ERA in 60 games (1 start) this season.
The Pick:
I have confidence in Steele, even when facing a formidable Phillies offense. In his most recent outing, although he did not pitch as many innings, he managed to allow no runs. I believe he will achieve success in this matchup. Presently, he holds an ERA of 3.03. The Cubs’ offense is averaging 4.57 runs per game, and I anticipate they will experience offensive success early in this contest. The Phillies will struggle to respond effectively. I recommend backing the Cubs on the money line.
Cincinnati Reds vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Reds at Guardians at 6:40 PM ET
The starting pitcher projected for Cincinnati is Jakob Junis, who has achieved a 4-0 record with a 2.61 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP through 62.0 innings pitched this season. Junis has impressively allowed one earned run or fewer in his last four outings.
Tanner Bibee is set to be the starting pitcher for Cleveland, boasting an 11-8 record, a 3.56 ERA, and a 1.13 WHIP over the course of 166.2 innings this season. In his recent performances, Bibee has successfully limited his opponents to two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four outings.
The Pick:
Cleveland approaches this contest with the AL Central championship already in hand, yet they are still vying for the top position in the American League, closely following the Yankees. Meanwhile, Cincinnati has parted ways with their manager, a move that could invigorate the team for their remaining six games, despite the absence of meaningful objectives. The starting pitchers for both teams have been performing admirably of late, and I see potential value in the Reds. Junis has caught my attention with his recent outings, leading me to back the Reds at the advantageous odds.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Brewers at Pirates at 6:40 PM ET
Tobias Myers is set to pitch for the Milwaukee Brewers, carrying an 8-6 record, a 3.05 ERA, and 120 strikeouts this season. In his last 21.2 innings, he has surrendered 25 hits and 8 earned runs. Myers has achieved a 3.06 ERA and a .265 batting average against in 64.2 innings pitched on the road. Throughout his career against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he has a 1-1 record, with a notable 0.69 ERA and 10 strikeouts.
Bailey Falter is set to take the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates, currently holding a record of 8-8 alongside a 4.15 ERA and 92 strikeouts for the season. In his most recent 18 innings, he has permitted 13 hits and 5 runs. At home, Falter boasts a 3.75 ERA and has allowed a batting average of .255 over 69.2 innings. Notably, he has a career record of 1-0 against the Milwaukee Brewers, with an impressive 1.23 ERA and 13 strikeouts.
The Pick:
Having already clinched the NL Central, the Milwaukee Brewers are still focused on securing a better playoff position. Tobias Myers has been consistently effective this season. Although Bailey Falter and attractive odds could be worth considering, the Pirates’ inability to score runs is a critical issue, as they have lost 7 out of their last 10 games. Teams sometimes lose their competitive edge, and the Pirates seem to be in that state, lacking motivation in their recent performances. I suggest placing your bet on the Brewers at a fair price.
Kansas City Royals vs Washington Nationals Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Royals at Nationals at 6:45 PM ET
Cole Ragans is set to be the starting pitcher for Kansas City, boasting an 11-9 record, a 3.24 ERA, and a 1.15 WHIP over the course of 180.1 innings this season. He has successfully limited his opponents to two earned runs or fewer in each of his last three outings.
The anticipated starting pitcher for Washington is Mitchell Parker, who holds a record of 7-10, accompanied by a 4.44 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP across 146.0 innings pitched this season. In his recent performances, Parker has permitted a minimum of four earned runs in two of his last three outings; however, he did manage to complete 6.1 innings without allowing any earned runs in his most recent home appearance.
The Pick:
As Kansas City enters this series, they are determined to halt a seven-game losing streak and are currently tied with Detroit for the second wild-card slot in the American League. With their playoff position precariously close, the Royals must address their challenges promptly. While Cole Ragans stands out as the more effective starting pitcher in this contest, the Royals have recorded just one win in his last four outings and have not performed well away from home. Therefore, it would be wise to support the Nationals in this matchup.
Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Orioles at Yankees at 7:05 PM ET
Dean Kremer will take the mound for the Baltimore Orioles in this matchup. Currently, Kremer’s season statistics reflect a record of 7-10, a 4.19 ERA, and 120 strikeouts. Notably, in his last five appearances against the Yankees, he has maintained an undefeated record of 2-0, with a 3.90 ERA and 29 strikeouts.
For this contest, Clarke Schmidt will be the starting pitcher for the Yankees. He has compiled a season record of 5-4, with a 2.37 ERA and 81 strikeouts. Against the Orioles in his last five starts, Schmidt has a 2-2 record, a 4.50 ERA, and has struck out 21 batters.
The Pick:
I hold a positive view of the Orioles team; however, their offensive capabilities have plummeted in recent contests, making it difficult to support them, particularly against a Yankees team that continues to achieve victories as the season nears its conclusion. The Yankees are focused on securing their division and home-field advantage for the playoffs. I believe there will be a time when the Orioles present value, but that time is not now. I am going with the Yankees.
Boston Red Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Red Sox at Blue Jays at 7:07 PM ET
On Tuesday, Brayan Bello will be the starting pitcher for Boston. Currently, Bello boasts a record of 14 wins and 8 losses, accompanied by a 4.49 ERA in 29 starts. Throughout his career, which spans 70 games (68 starts), he has achieved a win-loss record of 28-27 and maintains an ERA of 4.42.
The Blue Jays will have Bowden Francis as their starting pitcher on Tuesday. This year, he has achieved an 8-5 record with a 3.47 ERA in 26 games, 12 of which were starts. Over the course of his career, Francis has a 9-5 record and a 2.99 ERA in 47 games, with 12 starts to his name.
The Pick:
In his last three starts, Bello has recorded a 2-1 record, giving up a total of four earned runs in 16.1 innings. Conversely, Francis has struggled with an 0-2 record during the same span, allowing six earned runs over 20.0 innings. The Red Sox made effective use of their five hits on Monday, and the ten walks they drew were advantageous as well. With four relievers being used from the bullpen, it would be advantageous for Bello to extend his innings in the upcoming Tuesday game. Backing the Red Sox in this contest is recommended.
New York Mets vs Atlanta Braves Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Mets at Braves at 7:20 PM ET
The New York Mets are set to have Luis Severino take the mound for this game. This season, Severino boasts an impressive record of 11 wins and 6 losses, along with a 3.79 ERA and 156 strikeouts. Over the course of his career, he has faced the Braves twice, achieving a record of 1 win and 1 loss, with a 3.15 ERA and 20 strikeouts.
In today’s game, the Atlanta Braves will feature Spencer Schwellenbach as their starting pitcher. Schwellenbach’s season statistics include a 7-7 record, a 3.61 ERA, and 118 strikeouts. This appearance will be his second career start against the Mets.
The Pick:
I believe that the Braves are driven by a greater sense of urgency, as they are currently positioned as a team seeking to enter the playoff picture. It is essential for the Braves to win this series to avoid being swept. Severino has not been at his best during away games, and Schwellenbach has consistently delivered for the Braves this season. I predict that Atlanta will take the initiative in this series.
LA Angels vs Chicago White Sox Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Angels at White Sox at 7:40 PM ET
For the opening game on Tuesday, the Angels will assign Jack Kochanowicz to the starting position. Throughout his initial nine career starts, Kochanowicz has recorded a 2-5 win-loss record, accompanied by an ERA of 4.56.
Jonathan Cannon will take the mound for Chicago on Tuesday. This season, Cannon has recorded a 4-10 win-loss record with a 4.61 ERA over his first 21 games, of which 19 have been as a starter.
The Pick:
In his last three appearances, Cannon has recorded a 2-1 record and has not been performing poorly. He has given up eight earned runs over a total of 17.2 innings during this stretch. On the other hand, Kochanowicz has a 0-2 record in his last three games, allowing eight earned runs in 18.2 innings. It is worth mentioning that Kochanowicz recently completed 7.0 innings with only one earned run against the Sox on September 18. Nevertheless, the Chicago team has only managed to score two runs in each of their last three games, making it a significant risk to predict their victory. If Cannon can continue his solid performance, and if the bullpen and offense provide adequate support, Chicago may be well-positioned for success on Tuesday.
Miami Marlins vs Minnesota Twins Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Marlins at Twins at 7:40 PM ET
Ryan Weathers is set to be the starting pitcher for Miami, boasting a record of 3-6, a 3.94 ERA, and a 1.18 WHIP over the course of 75.1 innings this year. It is important to note that in two of his last three starts, Weathers has given up at least four earned runs.
The Minnesota team will likely start Bailey Ober as their pitcher, who has achieved a 12-7 record with a 3.84 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP through 168.2 innings this season. Ober has shown impressive form, allowing two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts.
The Pick:
The Minnesota Twins enter this series facing significant challenges, having struggled considerably over the past fortnight, which has resulted in their current absence from a playoff position in the American League Wild Card standings. A series sweep would be highly beneficial for the Twins, particularly if the Tigers and Royals were to experience defeats. While both starting pitchers have posted respectable statistics this season, Ober is expected to effectively neutralize one of the least productive lineups in Major League Baseball. It is advisable to bet on the Twins securing a victory by a margin of at least two runs.
Seattle Mariners vs Houston Astros Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Mariners at Astros at 8:10 PM ET
Logan Gilbert will start for the Mariners in this one. The 27-year-old righty is 8-11 with a 3.24 ERA in 31 starts this year. Gilbert recorded a win in his latest showing against the Yankees when he pitched for 5.1 innings and allowed two runs on six hits. He also had 9 strikeouts.
Framber Valdez is set to take the mound for the Astros, boasting a record of 14-7 and an ERA of 2.85. In his latest outing against the San Diego Padres, he completed seven innings, surrendering six hits and one run, the latter being a home run.
The Pick:
The Houston Astros are expected to encounter minimal difficulties in generating offensive momentum, which will likely be a decisive factor in this matchup. Currently, the Astros boast an average of 4.65 runs per game. On the mound for the Astros is Valdez, who holds an impressive ERA of 2.85. Conversely, the Seattle Mariners have faced significant challenges with their offense throughout the season, and they are anticipated to struggle in this regard once again. I am backing the Astros on the run line.
St. Louis Cardinals vs Colorado Rockies Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Cardinals at Rockies at 8:40 PM ET
The St. Louis Cardinals are set to have Michael McGreevy take the mound for this game. McGreevy boasts an impressive record of 2-0, accompanied by a remarkable 0.90 ERA and 7 strikeouts in the current season. This matchup will mark McGreevy’s inaugural career start against the Rockies.
Ryan Feltner will take the mound for the Colorado Rockies in this matchup. Currently, Feltner’s season statistics reflect a record of 3-10, a 4.73 ERA, and 129 strikeouts. In his professional career, he has faced the Cardinals once, securing a 1-0 record, a 4.09 ERA, and accumulating 10 strikeouts.
The Pick:
I believe that the Rockies showcase their best performance when playing at home, making this a challenging opportunity for McGreevy, who is still quite new to the major league environment. Feltner has been in good form recently, and I foresee the Rockies providing him with the necessary support to secure a home victory in this game. I would recommend backing Colorado in this matchup.
San Francisco Giants vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Giants at Diamondbacks at 9:40 PM ET
Logan Webb is set to start for the Giants, currently boasting a 12-10 record and an ERA of 3.58. In his previous game against the Baltimore Orioles, he pitched for five innings, during which he conceded four hits and three runs.
The starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks will be Brandon Pfaadt, who currently holds a record of 10 wins and 9 losses, along with an ERA of 4.66. In his most recent appearance against the Milwaukee Brewers, he pitched seven innings, allowing only two hits and one run.
The Pick:
The primary concern for the Diamondbacks will be determining which version of Pfaadt will take the mound in this matchup. In his previous appearance against the Milwaukee Brewers, he performed admirably; however, he currently holds an ERA of 4.66 and has displayed inconsistency at times. Nevertheless, the Giants’ offense is likely to face significant challenges in generating runs, which will ultimately be the deciding factor in this contest, allowing the Diamondbacks to secure a victory. Take the Diamondbacks on the money line.
Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Rangers at Athletics at 9:40 PM ET
Taking the mound for the Texas Rangers is Nathan Eovaldi, who currently holds an 11-8 record, a 3.96 ERA, and has achieved 154 strikeouts this season. In his last 16.2 innings pitched, he has given up 22 hits and 13 runs. Eovaldi’s performance on the road includes a 4.48 ERA and a .269 batting average against him over 62.1 innings. Against the Oakland Athletics, he has a career record of 3-2, with a notable 2.75 ERA and 60 strikeouts.
Mitch Spence will be on the mound for the Oakland Athletics, with a season record of 8-9, a 4.30 ERA, and 119 strikeouts. In his last 21.1 innings, he has allowed 27 hits and 7 runs. Spence’s performance at home includes a 3.88 ERA and a .275 batting average against him over 72 innings. Throughout his career facing the Texas Rangers, he has yet to secure a win, holding a 3.38 ERA and achieving 6 strikeouts.
The Pick:
Both the Rangers and the Athletics find themselves in a position where there is little at stake, making motivation a crucial factor in this matchup. Nathan Eovaldi possesses above-average skills, yet his performance this month has not been impressive. Conversely, the Athletics have occasionally managed to generate offensive momentum. Mitch Spence tends to allow a significant number of baserunners, but he has demonstrated the ability to navigate through challenging situations, particularly when playing at home. If a decision must be made, I would lean towards the Athletics, especially given their favorable home advantage and a reasonable price.
San Diego Padres vs LA Dodgers Prediction MLB Picks 9/24/24
Padres at Dodgers at 10:10 PM ET
Representing the San Diego Padres, Michael King is set to pitch with a season record of 12-9, a 3.04 ERA, and 198 strikeouts. Over his last 18 innings, he has surrendered 15 hits and 4 earned runs. King has achieved a 2.80 ERA and a .221 batting average against in 90 innings pitched on the road. Against the LA Dodgers, he has a career record of 1-0, with a 3.63 ERA and 23 strikeouts to his name.
Landon Knack is scheduled to pitch for the LA Dodgers, currently holding a record of 3-4, a 3.39 ERA, and 61 strikeouts this season. In his last 13 innings, he has allowed 12 hits and 7 runs. At home, Knack has recorded a 3.00 ERA and a .168 batting average against over 30 innings. This will be the first time Knack faces the San Diego Padres in his professional career.
The Pick:
An important series is set to take place between the Dodgers and the Padres, as the outcome may significantly impact the NL West standings. The Dodgers are expected to be favored, given their reputation and home-field advantage. However, the true value appears to rest with the Padres and their advantageous odds. The Padres have demonstrated exceptional performance in the latter half of the season, having lost merely 16 games since July 20. Furthermore, Michael King brings a wealth of experience that surpasses that of rookie Landon Knack, which could be a determining factor. The atmosphere of these games is anticipated to be reminiscent of playoff intensity. I’ll back the Padres.
