About Last Night

Braves, Rangers bring out the bats
There is a reason why Atlanta and Texas are World Series contenders in their respective leagues and they showed it again on Monday. The Braves bashed the Yankees 11-3, while the Rangers humiliated the Angels 12-0. The wildest game of the night saw Kansas City blow a 5-0 lead going into to eighth inning and then come back from 6-5 down in the bottom of the ninth to beat Seattle 7-6.

Manchester United blanks Wolves
In the only English Premier League game of the day, Manchester United started their season by scraping past Wolves 1-0. We cashed the Red Devils winning to nil at +111 odds.

Sound the alarms because Luis Severino is on the mound! Through 63.2 innings this season, Severino has an 8.06 ERA paired with a 6.75 xERA and has been even worse in the last few weeks. He has appeared in 5 games, including 4 starts, in the second half of the season and has a 9.43 ERA with a 2.05 WHIP during this stretch. The right-hander has allowed hitters to bat .366 with a .281 xBA and a 42% hard-hit rate during those 5 outings. His last appearance came in a long-relief role against the White Sox and he surrendered 4 runs, 5 hits and 1 home run in 2.0 innings. That means in his last 9.1 innings on the mound he has given up 20 hits, 18 runs and 4 home runs. Just think what the best lineup in baseball is going to do to him!
