MLB PLAYOFF PREVIEWS AND PREDICTIONS

The No-BS MLB Playoff Previews! Sports previews are, by their very nature, filled with BS. This, as they say, isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. Because what are previews, after all? They are bold and overly confident predictions about the future. Do you know what’s going to happen in the future? Do I know what’s going to happen in the future? About 60% of the time for 41 years as a professional handicapper. But sometimes, I don’t even know what I had for lunch yesterday. Read on for a No-BS MLB Playoff Previews.

Free MLB Pick: Miami vs Chicago Cubs

Sixto Sanchez vs. Yu Darvish: Interestingly, the superior pitching matchup might come in Game 2 when these two talented hurlers go at it.
Darvish, of course, crafted a sensational 2020, even being one of the frontrunners for this year’s NL Cy Young Award. He led the league in wins with eight and finished in the top five in ERA (2.01) and WHIP (0.96). His usual excellent strikeout rate (11.0 K/9) wasn’t too shabby, either.
Miami will likely counter with their young starter in Sanchez. The 22-year-old rookie can actually match Darvish’s heat, firing up an eye-opening average fastball velocity of 99 mph. Although he struggled a bit after his outstanding first five starts in the big leagues, Sanchez looks like he can handle this Cubs lineup. TAKE: UNDER TOTAL RUNS as soon as line is posted.

Free MLB Pick: Kansas City vs Detroit

The Royals had won six in a row until losing to the Tigers on Tuesday. The price certainly is reasonable to back the Royals in a pitching matchup of Brady Singer versus Tarik Skubal. Royals Brady Singer is coming off his best outing wen he shut out the Indians on one hit in eight innings with eight strikeouts last Thursday. Singer is fresh after five restful dayss. The Tigers main threat, injured second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who was leading the team in homers is out. Furthermore, their starter Skubal has been throwing up gopher balls this season with a 7.27 ERA. TAKE: KANSAS CITY - 125

Free MLB Pick: Pittsburgh vs Cincinnati

The starting pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates has been terrible in five starts this season, Joe Musgrove lost four of those starts.The Reds is not even close to intimidating. but the Pirates are even worse. Pirates just simply find it very hard to score on anyone.

Mike Lorenzen who has been primarily used as a reliver this season gets the start tonight. Lorenzen is a good enough pitcher to beat the Bucs. Take the Reds on the moneyline - 130.

FREE MLB Pick: Boston at Tampa Bay

Boston at Tampa Bay Thursday 6:40 ET
The Rays have dominated the Red Sox this season coming into this contest, taking 5 of 6 games while averaging over 7 runs a game. Josh Fleming has won all three of his starts in his short career. Boston's unfamiliarity with Fleming will make scoring for the BoSox tough.

Free MLB Pick: Milwaukee at Detroit

Free MLB Pick: Milwaukee at Detroit (1 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 9)
The Milwaukee Brewers send Corbin Burnes to the hill for this game. Burnes went back to the Milwaukee starting rotation three weeks ago, and he's been excellent since then. In fact, the hard throwing right-hander is coming off back-to-back 6 inning performances where he posted no earned runs allowed in the two outings combined.

Free MLB Pick Chicago Cubs vs Detroit Tigers

Jon Lester and the Cubs continue their series with Detroit. Lester has been a stud on the north side of Chicago for some time now, and will be in bounce back mode after a poor performance against the White Sox in his last appearance. The Tigers will trot out Michael Fulmer, who's ERA is 9.53, most recently getting crushed by the Indians. Give me the sly veteran lefty to put away the weak lumber of the Tigers. TAKE: CUBS on the ML
