JDBetsHQ is taking the Angels +1.5 (–156) against visiting Boston. He dubbed the matchup 'grade-A garbage' on both sides but sees the run line tilting toward L.A. Boston has managed a 7-3 record despite an anemic .208 average, 30th in hits and RBIs over the last ten. Tonight they roll out Walker Bueller, whom JD called 'absolute garbage' after a 4.6 recent ERA and ugly game logs. The Angels counter with JK, sporting a 3.2 ERA. Historical splits favor Anaheim: current Angels hitters own a .375 average with multiple homers off Bueller, including one from Mike Trout in just five at-bats. Playing at home, with the Red Sox bats still ice-cold, JD likes the one-run cushion far more than the full moneyline and is happy to fade Boston’s shaky starter.

JD Bets pounded Jose Soriano UNDER 5.5 strikeouts for Saturday’s start against Miami. Soriano has topped six punch-outs just once in his last ten turns, averaging 4.6 over that span and 4.8 in his most recent five. The Marlins’ lineup simply doesn’t whiff enough to bail him out—Miami is fifth-best in strikeout rate and has fanned only 7.2 times per game across the last ten. JD argued that expecting Soriano to suddenly reach six Ks in this contact-heavy matchup is unrealistic, especially since his 4A stuff profile rarely generates double-digit whiff totals. With the books still hanging 5.5, he called the under a “winner” and made it an official play.

JD Bets recommended laying the –175 money-line with Seattle, citing the Angels’ complete offensive free-fall. Over the last ten games Los Angeles ranks 30th in every meaningful category: a .171 team batting average, .200 OBP, .554 OPS, only 5.4 hits per night and a league-worst 1.2 walks per game. That lack of plate discipline neutralizes Bryce Miller’s biggest weakness—he has issued at least two free passes in nine of his last ten starts—because the Angels simply aren’t taking pitches. JD also noted Seattle’s form: 7-3 in their last ten and 16-12 overall in domed venues. Historical splits back it up; only Taylor Ward owns even a sliver of success off Miller, while the rest of the lineup is sub-.300 xwOBA versus right-handed pitching. With the Mariners flashing a few hot bats (Jorge Polanco .381 vs RHP this season) and fielding the far superior bullpen, JD felt comfortable paying the juice and locked in Seattle ML as a straight bet and as a leg in his daily parlay.
