Picks of the Day for Wednesday, August 25th

MLB Pick: Tampa Bay Rays vs. Philadelphia Phillies

The BetQL Model is on the Tampa Bay Rays as short underdogs against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night, a five star play!

The Model has the Rays lined as -117 favorites, so this line has the wrong team favored in a battle that features NL Cy Young candidate, Zack Wheeler (10-8, 2.77 ERA) of the Phillies.

Wheeler is +330 at DraftKings Sportsbook to win the Cy Young and a big start would push him back towards the top of the odds board. However, he is going to have trouble against the Rays lineup that is first in wRC+ since the calendar turned to August.

Tampa Bay will send out Ryan Yarbrough (7-4, 4.57 ERA), who should be able to limit Philly's bats that struggle against lefty pitching. Over the past month, the Phillies have the 26th best batting average against southpaws, hitting just .230. In a limited sample against Yarbrough, 52 at bats, Phillies batters are hitting .212.

At home and priced as underdogs makes the Rays a must play despite the name value of Wheeler.

DraftKings MLB Boost: Shohei Ohtani to Strikeout 6+ and Hit a Home Run, +360

Shohei Ohtani is the runaway American League Most Valuable Player, so let him show you why on Wednesday night.

Ohtani is set to start against an Orioles team that has dropped 19 straight games, and DraftKings is boosting his odds to strikeout six or more batters and hit a home run from +285 to +360!

The Angels do-it-all player has punched out six or more batters in 12 of his 18 starts this season and will be facing a Baltimore lineup that is striking out at a top 10 percentage this season.

Meanwhile, at the dish, Ohtani is facing a porous Orioles pitching rotation that hasn't announced a starter yet but has the second worst bullpen ERA in baseball. Camden Yards is also a hitters park, which should only help his cause.
