MLB | Aug 16, 2022 Cubs vs Nationals |
Cubs -156 at SC Consensus |
Won $100 |

Rating; 2 Units Patrick Corbin will get the ball as he turns around what has been the worst season in his career. The lefty and former World Series hero, comes in with a 4-16 record, while the 7.02 ERA tells the rest of the story. He hasn't allowed fewer than four runs in a start since July 4th and with Chicago coming to town, those struggles could certainly continue. Justin Steele will get the ball as the rangy lefty aims to build off his impressive marks. The record hasn't been overly impressive, coming into this one 4-7, though his 3.63 ERA has turned some heads. He's only allowed more than two runs once across his last seven starts, including a gem of performance the last time out against Washington. Cubs are 4-0 in Steele's last four starts against NL East opponents, while the Nationals are 0-5 in their last five home games against a team with a losing record. |

MLB | Aug 16, 2022 Phillies vs Reds |
Phillies -175 at Mirage |
Won $100 |
Play Type: Premium | ||
Rating: 2 Units T.J. Zeuch will be getting the start on the mound. He has only started one game this season, as he is (0-1) with a 13.50 ERA. The Mets lit him up, as he only pitched for 4.0 innings and gave up six hits and six earned runs. He will be looking to bounce back from that start, as this will only be his second appearance of the season. The Reds will need him to pitch deeper into this game, though. Their bullpen has also had issues this season. They are allowing 4.98 runs per game, which is the most in the MLB. Phillies will start Kyle Gibson on the mound. He has been solid as of late, as he is (7-5) with a 4.29 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. Reaching base has been difficult for his opponents and his team has won three of his last five starts. The last time he was on the mound he pitched for 6.0 innings, but only gave up two earned runs to the Marlins. |
