JefeBet App Picks for Wednesday, July 27, 2022
JefeBet App: MLB – New York Yankees vs. New York Mets
How Many Strikeouts Will There Be in the Game?
The second game of the subway series will surely bring exciting moments and a pitching duel that on paper should favor the Mets, a team that will have Max Scherzer on the mound and will face Domingo Germán.
Having Scherzer on the mound is a guarantee of strikeouts, as he is averaging 11.8 K/9 on the season and, in his last four starts since returning from injury, he has not struck out fewer than eight opponents. For his part, Germán is making his second start of the year and while he has a lifetime ERA of 9.7 K/9, he only struck out two in his first start in 2022.
Collectively, the pitching of both teams are among the best at retiring batters in this manner, with the Mets first in all baseball with 9.65 K/9, while the Yankees are fourth with 9.16.
Pick: 17-18.

JefeBet App: MLB / It’s Outta Here – Minnesota Twins vs. Milwaukee Brewers
How Many Home Runs Will There Be in the Game?
The “Twin Cities” rivalry has a special flavor this time around, as both the Twins and Brewers are in first place in their divisions. Therefore, it is very important that their pitching staff responds well in this engagement and keeps the ball in the park.
For Minnesota, the starter will be Chris Archer, while, for Milwaukee, it will be Corbin Burnes. Both starters are averaging 1.0 HR/9 this season, so some home run will come out firing this Wednesday. In addition, the Twins and Brewers are the sixth and seventh-highest home runs per nine innings allowed in the majors at 1.14 and 1.18, respectively.
What is even more, the Brewers’ home is in 2022 the seventh-best ballpark to hit the ball with 1,136 per game, more than interesting news for two teams that are in the top ten with the most home runs hit during the season.
Pick: 3.
JefeBet App: MLB / It’s Outta Here – Chicago White Sox vs. Colorado Rockies
How Many Home Runs Will There Be in the Game?
While the first game of the series at Coors Field resulted in a pitching duel, this Wednesday, the stats predict a slug fest between the White Sox and Rockies. Chicago’s starter will be Lucas Giolito, while Colorado’s starter will be Antonio Senzatela.
With 17 home runs allowed this season, Giolito not only averages 1.7 HR/9, but he is also one of the 10 pitchers with the most such hits in 2022. Senzatela’s record is not as high at 1.0 HR/9.
In terms of collective pitching, both teams average 1.09 HR/9, and although offensively they are not among the most home runs, let’s remember that the home of the Rockies, according to ESPN Park Factors, is the stadium with the most complete-game home runs this year at 1,634 per game.
Pick: 4.
