- We have to MLB.com games to preview for Friday, June 18. Let's start with an ALE showdown between the Blue Jays and the Orioles. Toronto is a minus 185 favorite and the total is 9 and 1/2. Starting for the Blue Jays, we have Robbie Ray. He's 4 and 2 with a 3.45 ERA with 92 strikeouts and 17 walks. On the mound for the Orioles, we have Bruce Zimmermann. He's 4 and 4 with a 4.83 ERA with 53 strikeouts and 20 walks.

I'm looking for a lot of runs in this game, not only do you have the league's home leader on the Blue Jays, but you also have two offenses that do very well against left-handed pitchers. Both Robbie Ray and Bruce Zimmermann are lefties. Games in Baltimore have hit the over in four straight games, so I like the over. Before we get to the next game, don't forget, new users get a risk-free bet up to $1,000. Just head over to BetMGM.com/Yahoo.

Next up, we have the Phillies and the Giants. The Giants are a minus 125 favorite and the total is 8 and 1/2. Starting for [? Philly, ?] we've got Vince Velasquez. He's 2 and 1 with a 4.25 ERA, 57 strikeouts, and 27 walks. Starting for San Francisco, we've got Johnny Cueto. He's 4 and 3 with an ERA of 4, 42 strikeouts, and 11 walks. With righty Johnny Cueto on the mound and a team OPS of .739 Against righties like Velasquez, I'm looking for the Giants to continue to win at home. They're 8 and 2 their last 10 games at Oracle Park. And San Francisco's bullpen has allowed an on-base percentage of only [? .285, ?] which is the best in the league. I'm on the Giants money line.
