Best bets for Sunday, May 31
National League contenders square off in a rubber match Sunday when the surging Phillies visit the defending champion Dodgers in the final game of a three-game series. Philadelphia won Saturday's game 4-3 after L.A. opened the set with a 4-2 victory. Now the Phillies will turn to rookie Andrew Painter (1-5, 5.40 ERA), and he's scheduled to face L.A.'s Yoshinobu Yamamoto (4-4, 3.09 ERA) in a battle of right-handers. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, has the Phillies covering the +1.5 run line in 61% of its simulations, and it sees slight value on a money-line play on Philly, which wins 38% of the time as plus-money underdogs.
The Cardinals are surprisingly in the thick of it in the tough NL Central, and they look to take the series victory Sunday when they face the division-rival Cubs. Every team in the Central is above .500, with the Brewers on top, the Cubs four games back and the Cardinals just half a game behind Chicago. The Cubs have been up-and-down so far, posting two 10-game winning streaks but recently snapping a 10-game losing run. Left-handers Jordan Wicks (0-1, 16.62 ERA) of the Cubs and Matthew Liberatore (2-3, 4.76 ERA) of St. Louis are expected to be on the mound. The SportsLine model has a 'B' grade on the Cardinals to cover the +1.5 run line, as they do so in 64% of simulations, but the Cubs are winning 54% the time.
