JefeBet App – Picks for Wednesday, July 6, 2022
JefeBet App: MLB – MLB Wednesday
Angelinos vs. Marlins: Which team will win?
The Los Angeles Angels, who are fourth in the West Division of the American League, face this second game of the interleague series against the Miami Marlins on the other side of the country after losing the first game of the series by a tight 2-1 score.
That was the Angels’ fourth consecutive loss after being swept in their previous series against the Houston Astros, but the team will be hoping for better luck this time around as they will have their star on the mound, Shohei Ohtani, who has a 2.68 ERA and 1.01 WHIP along with 101 strikeouts in 74.0 innings pitched this MLB season.
The Marlins will not be afraid to face Ohtani, as his current streak of six consecutive wins is the second-best in the majors to date. This positive streak was spun by pitching, with the Marlins allowing three runs or fewer in all but one of those victories, and they will hope that Trevor Rodgers has what it takes to keep the momentum going after the starter allowed three or fewer cleanup runs in his last three appearances, though none exceeded 5.0 innings.
Ohtani has allowed no runs in the last 19.2 innings, and we believe he could overpower the Marlins to help his team break the negative streak. Additionally, the Angels won in each of their last four starts.
Pick: Angels

JefeBet: MLB – MLB Wednesday
Yankees vs. Pirates: Will the Yankees win by more than one run?
Another interleague clash on Wednesday is between the New York Yankees, the team with the best record in MLB, and the Pittsburgh Pirates, third in the National League Central division, so the game will not be very even on paper.
While they are favorites, the Yankees offense is not going through its best moment as the team has lost two consecutive games mainly because of this, scoring a total of 2 runs in that span, including the first game of this series. With that in mind, the Yankees will expect Luis Severino to perform well, with the starter having allowed a total of 5 runs in his last 12 innings, with all of those being against the Houston Astros.
When the Yankees’ lineup sees Mitch Keller on the mound for Pittsburgh, they smile, as the pitcher has allowed eight runs in the last 9.0 innings he has played, and has issued three or more walks in two of his last three starts.
Despite their bad momentum, we believe the Yankees can win by two or more runs. Keller offers a chance to bounce back, and the team has not been swept in a series so far this season.
Pick: Yes
