Two MLB Bets To Consider On Saturday July 22nd 2023
Angels vs. Pirates 9:07pm
Angels Moneyline (-178)
The Pirates are starting 27 year old rookie Osvaldo Bido. In his last two appearances, Bido has not pitched beyond 2.2 innings. The Pirates are 2-5 in the 7 games that Osvaldo Bido has appeared in this season. Angels starter Reid Detmers holds a 3.63 ERA in 10 home starts this season (57 innings). Detmers had a phenomenal June, posting a 2.05 ERA in 30.2 innings. He hit a couple speed bumps in July against two hot offenses (Dodgers & Astros). Detmers last 6 starts overall have come against the Astros, Dodgers, Diamondbacks, White Sox, Dodgers, and Rangers. Facing this Pirates offense at home will be a much easier task for Detmers. The lefty should have a great opportunity to get back on track tonight. We will eat the juice and take the Angels on the moneyline.

Rangers vs. Dodgers 4:05pm
Rangers Moneyline (+116)
Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning is 5-0 with a 2.84 ERA and 1.02 WHIP at home this season. The Rangers have won 5 of his last 6 starts, including a few tough matchups against the Rays, Red Sox, and Blue Jays. Dodgers rookie starting pitcher Bobby Miller has been extremely impressive on the road this season. Miller is 3-0 with a 2.11 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 21.1 innings pitched on the road. However, Miller has a 5.93 ERA and 1.35 WHIP at home. These extreme home/road splits indicate that the Dodgers rookie could be trending toward some road regression. We will take the plus money on the home underdogs.
