St. Louis over Kansas City
8:10 PM EST. Miles Mikolas (RHP - STL) is not our target here, but we’ll note that while his ERA is a bloated 5.12, his xERA is nearly a run lower, and he’s had some bad luck along the way this season. Most notable is his low strand rate of just 65.3% and his inflated Batting Average of Balls in Play (BABIP) of .304. Mikolas has just 22 BB in 128.1 IP, so better days could be coming as well as a correction to the good of his surface numbers.
Michael Lorenzen (RHP - KAN) is smoke and mirrors, as he brings just 80 Ks with 50 BBs in 107.1 IP into this start, which is his 20th of the season. Lorenzen has a nice surface ERA of 3.62, but his xERA is 5.04, and he has a weak swing & miss rate of just 8.9% and a weak called and swinging strike rate of 25.5%. Unlike Mikolas, Lorenzen has a horseshoe up his ass, as he posts both a high strand rate (81%) and a low BABIP (.246). Dude is playing with fire and is absolutely a fade target when favored.

Pinnacle takes some of the lowest fees on all users’ bets, meaning it’s able to offer some of the best value odds on the market. Compared to other major, well-known sportsbooks, Pinnacle offers superior average odds pricing. Pinnacle’s low betting margins and high betting limits is the best in the biz and will save you thousands of dollars over your betting life.
For instance, a baseball game at most sportsbooks has 20 to 25 cent margins
Arizona -150
Detroit +125
That’s a 25 cent margin but at Pinnacle, it’ll be an 9 cent margin (see example)
Arizona -145
Detroit +134
If you bet on sports daily, Pinnacle is a must have because of their low margins.
