Michael Savio

Michael Savio projects Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo to have a tough game tonight against the Brewers. Milwaukee’s lineup is heating up, scoring eight times in their last two games following a slow start. Lodolo struggled badly in his most recent start at Milwaukee last August, allowing three runs over 5 1/3 innings. With Milwaukee's Jackson Chourio and the Brewers lineup clicking, Savio expects Lodolo's struggles at American Family Field to continue tonight.

Michael Savio expects Hunter Brown to continue his solid form after an impressive outing against the Mets, striking out seven batters across six innings with just two earned runs allowed. Brown had a rough experience in Minnesota previously, but Savio views that merely as an off-day for a typically strong pitcher. Facing the underperforming Minnesota offense hitting below .175 as a team through five games, Savio sees a prime opportunity for Brown to dominate and keep this matchup low-scoring, capitalizing effectively on the Twins' offensive struggles.

Michael Savio highlighted Twins pitcher Joe Ryan after an impressive first start in 2025, allowing only one run across five innings to St. Louis. Ryan is coming off a tremendous 2024 campaign where he recorded a standout 0.99 WHIP. Although the Astros have historically had some success against Ryan, they now possess their weakest lineup in several seasons, greatly enhancing Ryan's betting value tonight. As a result, Savio anticipates another strong showing from Ryan, leading to a low-scoring affair favoring the under bet.

Michael Savio identified Nestor Cortes as likely to rebound tonight against an uninspired Reds lineup currently experiencing a two-game shutout streak. Although Cortes was heavily hit by the Yankees in his season debut, nearly the entire Brewers pitching staff struggled in that series, making the poor outing an outlier. Now facing Cincinnati's ice-cold offense, Cortes stands an excellent chance to return to form and deliver a winning performance for Milwaukee.

Michael Savio noted Jackson Chourio to be heating up and making the Brewers lineup more dangerous against Reds' starter Nick Lodolo. After an uneven start, Chourio is hitting his stride just as Milwaukee’s offense has scored eight runs over the past two games. Lodolo, on the other hand, struggled significantly in his previous game at Milwaukee last August, allowing three runs over 5 1/3 innings. Considering Milwaukee’s momentum and Chourio's resurgence, Savio expects Lodolo and the Reds to have difficulty tonight.

Michael Savio is confident in a strong bounce-back start for Tanner Houck against the Orioles. Despite an early hiccup this season, Houck is coming off a stellar 2024 campaign, boasting an impressive 3.12 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. This marked a significant improvement from a disappointing 2023 season, and Savio anticipates the right-hander returning to productive form immediately, starting against Baltimore.

Michael Savio recommends betting against Charlie Morton, emphasizing evidence of his recent deterioration in performance. Morton, now 41 years old, saw his WHIP progressively worsen over the last four seasons and struggled significantly during his Baltimore debut, allowing four earned runs and seven hits in just 3 1/3 innings pitched. Facing a Red Sox offense with Rafael Devers regaining form, this spells trouble for Morton and the Orioles in today's divisional matchup.

Michael Savio highlighted Rafael Devers' potential for a strong showing against Orioles starter Charlie Morton, pointing out that Devers broke his early season slump with an RBI double yesterday. Morton, while having had a notable career, is beginning to show clear signs of age-related decline, as evidenced by his increasing WHIP over the past four seasons. Moreover, Morton struggled immensely during his Orioles debut, surrendering seven hits and four earned runs over just 3 1/3 innings. Given Devers' momentum and Morton's shaky recent performance, the veteran pitcher represents a favorable matchup for Devers to continue finding his form.
