Major League Players Club MLB 1-5 Units (7/16/24)

MLB

2 Picks 8:10PM EST: NL First Inning Moneyline +350 (2 Units), Over .5 Runs First Inning +120 (2 Units).

NL Starter Paul Skenes has been virtually untouchable and nobody in the AL Starting Lineup has seen him before. It's still a big moment and 2 of his 7 Homeruns allowed this season have come in the first inning. He's walked 10 Lefties compared to just 3 righties and the first 3 AL batters are all left-handed. The current HR Leader Aaron Judge bats 4th.

AL Corbin Burnes hasn't been as dominant over the past few weeks as he was earlier this season. He's allowed 5 Homeruns over this last 4 starts and 4 of his 13 Homeruns allowed this season have come in the first inning. He also spent the entirety of his career in the NL before joining the AL with Baltimore this season. Everyone in the NL starting lineup has faced Burnes before except for his 2 former teammates. A lot of pressure and nerves being named starter for the All-Star game. There's plenty of pop to put one over the wall and the NL first 3 hitters are red hot. Over their last 7 games Ketel Marte's slashing .400/.483/1.123 with 2 Homeruns, Ohtani .321/.387/.923with 1 Homerun, and Trea Turner .423/.483/1.368 with 4 Homeruns
