Kansas City Royals vs Cincinnati Reds Betting Pick & Prediction 8/17/24

<p>The Thursday MLB card is a short one, as we don’t have a lot of games, but the ones we do have some very interesting pitching matchups. Take, for example, the series finale between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It will be Anthony DeSclafani for the Giants and Walker Buehler for the Dodgers.</p>



<p>DeSclafani’s worst start, one that accounts for nearly 28% of the runs he has allowed this season, came against the Dodgers. Will that lead bettors to take the heavy favorites in this one? The Dodgers are priced in the -175 range at<a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/jazzsports/"> Jazz Sports</a> with a total of 8 for the series finale.</p>



<h2 id="h-san-francisco-giants"><strong><u>San Francisco Giants</u></strong></h2>



<p>These two teams will play again next week for a three-game series at Oracle Park, so we’ll see how it goes when the two best teams in the NL West square off once again. For now, Thursday’s game is a big one, as the Giants have taken two of the first three in this four-game set. They returned the favor from Tuesday, beating Kenley Jansen in the ninth inning for some late-game heroics.</p>



<p>The Giants have faced underdog odds in all three games up to this point and will face long odds again on Thursday, even though a side-by-side comparison of the two teams suggests that they are quite similar. Entering play on Wednesday, Giants position players had accounted for 17 fWAR. The Dodgers had 19.2. The Giants slightly trailed in the wOBA department by four teams, largely because the Dodgers were 11 points better in OBP due to a higher walk rate.</p>



<p>The Giants have actually hit for more power. The Dodgers do strike out less, so they’ve put more balls in play and have more plate appearances with men in scoring position, but the gap is hardly as big as the lines this week would suggest. This does look to be a race that will go down to the wire in the NL West.</p>



<p>Anthony DeSclafani allowed 10 runs on nine hits in 2.2 innings against the Dodgers on May 23. He has allowed just 13 earned runs in nine starts since and had allowed 12 earned runs in nine starts prior to that ill-fated day. DeSclafani has a 2.78 ERA with a 3.64 FIP and that includes two other starts against the Dodgers, in which he allowed five runs on 10 hits in 9.2 innings of work.</p>



<p>We can’t magically remove his starts against the Dodgers, but if we did, DeSclafani would have a 1.78 ERA. He’s been brilliant against everybody else, but all three of his starts against the Dodgers have graded poorly by Game Score. It would be huge if he could have a great outing tonight.</p>



<h2 id="h-los-angeles-dodgers"><strong><u>Los Angeles Dodgers</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Dodgers entered this series one game behind the Giants for the top spot in the NL West. The division couldn’t be won in this series, but it is different when you are the one being chased and the one doing the chasing. The Dodgers should know. After all, they’ve won this division eight times in a row.</p>



<p>You actually have to go back to 2011 to find the last time that the Dodgers weren’t first or second in the NL West and it doesn’t appear that streak will end this season either. The Dodgers rank first or second in a lot of key offensive metrics and have the pitching staff to back it up as well. Even without Trevor Bauer, who is still on MLB’s restricted list, and Clayton Kershaw, who is on the IL, the Dodgers just keep finding pitchers that can get outs.</p>



<p>It doesn’t take much to put the Dodgers in position to succeed. As mentioned, they went into Wednesday’s action second in wOBA and fourth in wRC+, just ahead of the Giants in both categories. They draw a ton of walks, generate a lot of scoring chances, and capitalize on a lot of the ones that they get.</p>



<p>Walker Buehler comes into this start with a 10-1 record in his 19 starts. Buehler has a 2.37 ERA with a 3.35 FIP in his 121.1 innings of work. His K% is down this season, but he’s done a better job keeping the ball in the park. The disappearing strikeouts are an interesting topic, as Buehler has seen a drop in his SwStr% and has allowed more contact on pitches in the zone than ever before.</p>



<p>On the other hand, he’s been just as effective, if not more effective. If the strikeouts do return as the second half moves along, it will increase his projection in a big way. Buehler has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since May 11 and has only allowed two earned runs in 19.2 innings against the Giants this season.</p>



<h2 id="h-giants-vs-dodgers-free-pick"><strong><u>Giants vs. Dodgers Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>A lot of bettors will use the head-to-head comparison of the three starts against the opposition for DeSclafani and Buehler and just take the Dodgers here. The handicap is a lot more nuanced than that, though DeSclafani does have some negative regression signs in the profile. It is a big number and we aren’t getting line equity on the Dodgers. This is just a pick with the belief that the Dodgers do win this game more often than they lose it and should take care of business tonight.</p>

The Alsco 300 at Kentucky Speedway is this weekend, not to be confused with the Alsco 300 at Bristol or the Alsco 300 at Charlotte. This is the Alsco 300 Kentucky and it is a Friday night race on July 12 in the town of Sparta. This is the 17th race of 26 set for the Xfinity Series regular season.

It is the second-to-last 1.5-mile race of the regular season. The regular season finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is the last. Odds for this version of the Alsco 300 are on the right-hand side for desktop viewers and down below the comment box for mobile viewers.

&nbsp;
<h5><strong>Enjoy It While You Can</strong></h5>
This is a 1.5-mile race. The next race is a 1.058-mile race. After that, the drivers will run on three road course circuits in five weeks with stops at Watkins Glen, Mid-Ohio, and Road America. That won’t be problematic for everybody, but the oval races are much better for a lot of the top drivers in the Xfinity Series, so we’ll have to see how things play out down the stretch.

The silver lining, however, is that the Cup Series drivers will not be on hand in two weeks at Iowa Speedway and won’t run at either Mid-Ohio or Road America, so the Xfinity Series guys won’t have to contend with the best of the best. Some road course ringers will be making an appearance soon, though.

&nbsp;
<h5><strong>Ross the Boss</strong></h5>
Ross Chastain won last week at Daytona, but because he is running for Cup Series points, he cannot participate in the Xfinity Series playoffs. That means that nothing has changed in the standings. Chastain, who has run 15 of the 16 Xfinity Series races, and had previously finished no higher than seventh, picked up his first win, but it meant nothing more than a lucrative pay day.

Daytona is always a challenge and we saw that on the Cup Series side with Justin Haley’s win. Haley was also second in the Xfinity Series race to move up to eighth in points. Tyler Reddick had the pole and still leads the way with 718 points. Christopher Bell is second with 642. Cole Custer is third with 637 points. Austin Cindric’s next point will be his 600th and Justin Allgaier rounds out the top five.

The top 12 make the playoffs in the Xfinity Series, so Noah Gragson, John Hunter Nemechek, Haley, Michael Annett, Chase Briscoe, Brandon Jones, and Ryan Sieg would all be in if the playoffs started today. Sieg is 88 points clear of Gray Gaulding, so it would take a stunning win for somebody to steal a playoff spot.

&nbsp;
<h5><strong>A Pleasant Surprise</strong></h5>
No Cup Series drivers are in the field this week at Kentucky. I’m really surprised by that, as this is an event that has been dominated by Cup guys. Before Christopher Bell’s win last week, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, and Kevin Harvick had wins over the previous five years. Joey Logano won this race three consecutive times from 2008-10. Keselowski also won in 2011. Austin Dillon won in 2012. It has been a profitable race for Cup guys, but they are bypassing this one.

Bell and Reddick share co-favorite honors at +240. Custer is the third favorite at +350. You have to go all the way to +1100 to find Allgaier. You have to go to +2200 to find anybody else.

Busch has three wins this season in the Xfinity Series and all of them came on 1.5-mile tracks. That makes it a little tough to see which points guys have had the most success on those ovals. Bell, Reddick, and Custer each have a win at 1.5 miles, with Bell at Atlanta, Reddick at Charlotte, and Custer at Chicagoland.

&nbsp;
<h5><strong>Deciding on a Driver</strong></h5>
Are the top three that equal heading into this race? Well, Reddick was fifth at Atlanta, won the second stage at Vegas, finished third at Phoenix, and second at Texas. He won on the big track at Michigan and was second on the big track at Pocono.

Bell won at Atlanta, led the most laps and won the first stage at Texas, won the second stage at Phoenix before finishing 30th, and was black flagged at Chicagoland.

Custer was second at Atlanta, ninth, but won Stage 1 in Vegas, finished fourth in Phoenix, won at Chicagoland, and has raced well overall on most of the oval tracks.

As far as other hopefuls, Cindric won Stage 1 in Phoenix, Allgaier was second at Charlotte and third at Atlanta, Gragson was third at Las Vegas and fourth at Charlotte, Nemechek was second in Vegas, and Brandon Jones has two top-five finishes on 1.5-mile tracks.

It’s entirely possible that somebody like Jones pulls off the win at a big number, but he’d likely need at least two, if not three, of the favorites to have mechanical issues or get tangled up in a wreck.

&nbsp;
<h5><strong>Picks</strong></h5>
Which low price do we take? There’s a tad more value on Custer than Reddick and Bell, so I’d look to him as a decent value guy. If Bell doesn’t get himself in trouble, I do prefer him to Reddick, as I simply think he’s a better racer with a better team and Toyota has done very well at Kentucky in this race.

A unit on Bell and a unit on Custer is a small profit on Bell and a bigger profit on Custer. Jones is the only long shot I’d consider at +3300. Nemechek did win the second stage here last year en route to finishing seventh, so maybe he’s a guy worth a look, but I’d be shocked if somebody off the board won this race.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.
