Here are my Major League Baseball Picks for Tuesday, May 19: (run lines from SportsPlays.com)
Washington Nationals (-1.5) vs. New York Yankees
Gio Gonzalez is 1-5 versus the Yankees all-time in his career, but even if he doesn't pitch well tomorrow, the Nationals' bats will be able to bail him out. Nathan Eovaldi takes the hill for New York, and he throws extremely hard. The trouble is that he throws his pitches with virtually no movement, and that's allowed hitters to make a lot of contact. If I had to bet on somebody to hit a homer tomorrow, that person would be Bryce Harper.
Cincinnati Reds (+1.5) vs. Kansas City Royals
Johnny Cueto goes against Yordano Ventura in this interleague matchup. This game will be low-scoring, and I have to pick the more steady option in Cueto to out duel Ventura.
Boston Red Sox (-1.5) vs. Texas Rangers
American League hitters have shelled Rangers' righty Yovani Gallardo since he made the move from Milwaukee to Texas in the offseason. Boston's lineup should be able to find success against Gallardo, and Wade Miley is starting to pitch better than he was at the beginning of the year.
