This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Baltimore Orioles.

The Marlins have taken the first two games of this three game interleague series as sizeable underdogs, but we think the hungry/revenge-minded home side will find a way to salvage the finale. Miami goes with Trevor Richards (1-3, 4.41 ERA) who earned his first career win over the Giants on Tuesday, allowing one run over six innings. Previous to that though Richards had only gone longer than five innings twice this season and totalled only five strikeouts over 13 innings. Also note that the 25-year old already has given up 17 walks over 34.2 innings total this year. The Orioles go with the red hot Dylan Bundy (4-7, 3.66) who went eight scoreless in a no-decision against Boston on Monday, allowing three hits to go along with seven strikeouts. Bundy has now posted four straight quality efforts and he hasn’t given up a run over his last 16 innings of work. Note as well that Bundy is a superb 3-1 with a 1.08 ERA in all “day” contests this season. When taking into account each pitchers current form, we absolutely believe that the ORIOLES could/should in fact be much larger favorites in this matchup. Lay the price.

This is a 6* BLOWOUT on Germany -194 on the 3-way line (lose if draw) offered at SportsInteraction.

Two of the top teams in the World collide in this one, but as good as Mexico is, we’d be shocked if the South American country pulled off an upset so early here. Germany actually set a new record during qualifying this year with a goal difference of +39. It wasn’t perfect, but Germany would close qualification with a 3-1 win over Northern Island and it would post 43 goals over ten total matches. El Tri rolled through the CONCACAF group, but note that Mexico has exited the in the second round in six straight World Cups. Mexico also has a few questions concerning availability of players including Diego Reyes and Andres Guardado. And if recent history is any precedence, then German fans should be feeling pretty confident here, as when these teams met in the 2017 Confederations Cup, Germany would emerge with a convincing 4-1 victory. Mexico likes to sit back and control the pace and let the other team make the first mistake, but against Germany that game-plan simply won’t work. The Germans have the best goaltender in the World and they’re an offensive juggernaut. Note that Germany conceded just four goals during their 2014 World Cup run and kept a clean sheet in the final. Basically we feel that the Germans could/should in fact be much larger favorites. Great value, play on GERMANY.
