Mariners vs. Rangers Pick: Rangers F5 Moneyline | -130 at BetMGM

4:05 p.m. ET 

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone has a great weekend and makes plenty of money. My MLB F5 best bets are 6-1 this week! Let’s stay hot. 

The first game on the early slate that we looking at is Mariners vs. Rangers. We backed the Mariners with Logan Gilbert on the mound yesterday, but today is a different story. 

The pitching matchup for today’s game will be Marco Gonzales vs. Glenn Otto. 

Gonzales is going to be in for a long day today. He is coming into today’s game with a 1-3 record and 3.43 ERA. The bad news for Gonzales is that Rangers excel at hitting against left-handed pitchers and are in for an offensive explosion.

He has allowed 10 home runs in 10 games — I’m expecting the Rangers to hit a home run or two on Gonzales. 

On the other side, the Rangers will be going with Glenn Otto. He has been having an up-and-down season, but I am trusting him to be able to shut down the Mariners offense.

He has a 6.61 ERA at home, but it is mostly due to one bad game where he allowed 8 runs scored. 

I expect Otto to be cool, calm and collected today and get us the F5 cash!

Astros vs. Royals Pick: Astros F5 -0.5 | -130 at FanDuel

4:10 p.m. ET 

For our second game, we have the Astros paying the Royals during a visit to Kansas City. 

We have a huge pitching mismatch today that features Luis Garcia vs. Kris Bubic. 

Bubic has been struggling to say the least. He has allowed 19 runs in 13 innings and he couldn’t even finish the first inning in his last start. 

That’s bad news for the Royals against a high-powered Astros offense.

I would be surprised if he pitches past five innings. The Astros offense is going to have batting practice today — expect them to put up runs against Bubic in bunches! 

The Astros will be rolling with Luis Garcia, who has a 2.16 ERA on the road and has the obvious pitching advantage.

The Royals are one of the worse offenses and teams in the league so Garcia won’t need to do anything special to shut them down. 

This is an easy no-brainer call for me with the pitching matchup. I’m rolling with the Astros F5 -0.5. Let’s get another sweep!
