Las Vegas - Mike Soroka. Get to know that name. This 22-year old baby from Calgary, Canada can make other teams look silly. He started out kinda slow in 2018, with a 2-1 record and a 3.51 ERA. Last season, he busted out with a 13-4 mark, a skinny 2.68 ERA, and a spot on the All-Star team. His first effort this season against the Mets was another master class, going 6 innings, allowing four hits, with all ZEROES on the board.

Las Vegas - Holding my nose tight, real tight, so the smell of HATRED doesn't surround me, and gonna rock the Red Sox over the Orioles. It's pricey for sure, but the opposition is Wade LeBlanc. Frenchy is a 35-year old below average pitcher that has made stops in San Diego, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York with the Yankees, Pittsburgh and now Baltimore. His career record is 45-47, and 2019 with the Mariners was UGLY.

Las Vegas - Gonna roll over to Cleveland and try the team that's probably gonna change its name against the Royals. As we mentioned, listing pitchers at the sportsbooks is off the table, but the arms we post every day in this column are pretty accurate. So, it'll be Mike Clevinger against Brady Singer. The first thing you notice about Clevinger is THE HAIR. We're talking down to the shoulders and LUXURIOUS. Am I jealous??? OH YEAH.
