Sports betting analyst "Stitches" has made his selections for Thursday's Major League Baseball matchups, predicting victories for the Kansas City Royals against the Tampa Bay Rays and for the Oakland Athletics over the San Francisco Giants.
Stitches indicated a wager of $100 on the Royals, noting the recent performance of their pitcher Seth Lugo. Lugo has allowed two runs over his last 9 1/3 innings pitched since a prior outing on June 4. The Rays' starting pitcher, Ian Seymour, has allowed three runs in his most recent start, spanning five innings.
For the second game, Stitches plans to bet $50 on the Athletics. While Oakland's pitcher Jeffrey Springs has struggled recently, giving up 12 runs in his last 7 2/3 innings, he previously held the Giants to one run in a May encounter.
In other MLB news, the Miami Marlins secured a 4-2 victory against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. The Marlins have now won 16 of their last 5 June games. Eury Pérez, starting pitcher for the Marlins, allowed one run over 4 2/3 innings, and Otto Lopez contributed a home run to the win.
