Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers Match Details

Fixture: Milwaukee Brewers @ Cincinnati Reds

Date & Time: Friday, June 17, 6:40 p.m. EDT

Venue: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati, OH

Hunter Greene has been up and down this year, but in June, he's been able to string together three solid starts in a row. He's also managed to strike out seven or more hitters in all three of these starts. Going back to the start of May, he's averaging 7.1 Ks per outing. He's faced Milwaukee twice already this year, fanning 13 hitters in eight innings pitched. The Brewers have the sixth-highest strikeout rate in the MLB. Now that Greene is in a better groove, expect him to reach seven punch-outs for the fourth consecutive start.

MLB Player Prop #3: Michael Lorenzen Under 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-115)

Seattle Mariners vs. Los Angeles Angels Match Details

Fixture: Los Angeles Angels @ Seattle Mariners

Date & Time: Friday, June 17, 10:10 p.m. EDT

Venue: T-Mobile Park, Seattle, WA

Michael Lorenzen has a 3.45 ERA this year, and he'll be facing a Mariners team that mustered just one run Thursday against Angels pitching. Seattle has plated just eight runners in their previous five, and they rank fifth-lowest in the league in runs per nine innings. Most of Lorenzen's poor starts have come against high-octane offenses, which Seattle is certainly not. Look for the Angels' starter to have a solid performance in the second game of this four-game set.
