TONIGHT’S BEST MLB PICKS
LA DODGERS @ ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
The Dodgers and Diamondbacks are set for a crucial matchup as they wrap up their series on September 1, 2024.
The Dodgers, sitting atop the NL West with an 82-54 record, will rely on Justin Wrobleski, who has been inconsistent this season. While Wrobleski has shown flashes of potential, allowing only six runs in his last three starts, his overall numbers are concerning. He’s allowed 14 runs in 25 innings and opponents are making solid contact against him, evident by his .545 expected opponent slugging percentage and a high barrel percentage of 13.7%.
Despite Wrobleski’s struggles, the Dodgers’ powerful lineup, led by MVP frontrunner Shohei Ohtani, remains a formidable force, averaging nearly five runs per game.
On the other side, the Diamondbacks, holding the second NL wild card with a 76-60 record, are hoping Brandon Pfaadt can bounce back.
Pfaadt has struggled in recent outings but overall has a solid season with a 3.53 expected ERA and impressive control, reflected in his 29.9% chase rate and low walk rate. Arizona’s offense has been one of the best in baseball, led by Joc Pederson and Jake McCarthy, making them a tough opponent as they look to close the gap in the division race.
BEST PICK – OVER 8.5 TOTAL RUNS (ALT TOTAL) 
CHICAGO WHITE SOX @ BALTIMORE ORIOLES
The White Sox will face the Orioles in a game where both teams are on opposite trajectories.
The White Sox, with a dismal 31-107 record and on a 10-game losing streak, are at risk of finishing with the worst record in MLB history. Chris Flexen will start for Chicago, having allowed 86 runs in 134.1 innings this season.
His poor performance, highlighted by a .260 expected opponent batting average and a 15.8% strikeout rate, reflects the struggles of the White Sox, who are scoring only 3.07 runs per game. The lineup has been ineffective, with only Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi showing any power, combining for 30 home runs.
The Orioles, on the other hand, are 79-59 and pushing for first place in the AL East.
Despite recent struggles, Corbin Burnes will start for Baltimore, boasting 150 strikeouts and a 3.38 expected ERA. The Orioles’ lineup, led by Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander, has been productive, scoring 4.95 runs per game, making them a formidable opponent.
