    Analysis

    Even though the Giants are not very good, Rafael Devers has been on an absolute tear of late. He has homered in two straight games and has reached 2+ total bases in 8 of his last 9 games. During that time, he has seen his batting average go from .241 to .252 and his OPS from .788 to .826. On Wednesday, Devers faces Jared Jones, who had a 7.40 ERA for the Pirates in August. Let the good times continue with Devers.

    Analysis

    This is very much a fade of Bryce Miller who has been atrocious lately. Red Sox starter Patrick Sandoval hasn't been much better, but at least he's limiting runs and has an offense behind him that I trust far more than the Mariners offense. The criticisms for Sandoval are all valid and he's likely to give up some production in the first five, but he'll outduel Bryce Miller for a first five win.

    Picked: Sep 1 @ 11:53pm

    Analysis

    In his last seven starts, Mariners RHP Bryce Miller is 0-5 with a 7.18 ERA. Over the last two weeks, the Seattle bullpen owns a not-so-solid 8.14 ERA. So Boston at home should find opportunities. Meanwhile, the Mariners have dropped five straight, scoring 0-1 runs in three of those games. Left-handed pitching has been a big issue for the Seattle lineup; Red Sox LHP Patrick Sandoval can give up his usual two runs over five-plus frames, then we pray the Boston relievers hold it down against the bottom-scoring lineup of 2026.

    Analysis

    Bryce Miller is on the mound for the Mariners. He has a 7.19 ERA in his last eight starts. And get this: The Mariners have allowed double-digit runs scored in each of his last four outings (11, 10, 22 and 19, respectively).

    LOSS
    Picked: Sep 2 @ 8:01am

    Analysis

    Texas has been good to me this week so far, and I see no reason why the Rangers won't complete the home sweep this afternoon -- they have outscored the Athletics 16-6 in the series. And today the carrot is getting back to .500 for the first time since Aug. 11 -- and maybe tie for the division lead. Can't blow that against this awful, injury-riddled opponents. Lefty Cody Bradford starts for Texas, and he has a 1.80 ERA in 9.2 home innings. He got a very late start to 2026 off elbow issues. The Athletics are 18-33 vs. southpaws.
