MLB Best Bets: Baseball Picks, Predictions, Odds to Consider on DraftKings Sportsbook for September 27 – DraftKings Nation

Not a whole lot of MLB action on Monday, and most of its in the early afternoon. But, there are a couple ways to attack the two later games via DraftKings Sportsbook; heres how.

If you want to sweat out these picks with me, follow me on Twitter: @Nick_Friar.

The Nationals only pulled off one win in their four-game set vs. the Reds, but they still managed to put some runs up on the board throughout their trip to Cincinnati. Washingtons two highest-scoring showings in their last series came against right-handed pitching, which shouldnt surprise anyone.

The Nats have been one of the toughest teams on right-handed pitching throughout September, even though they gave up on 2021 a while ago. And German Marquez already knows what this lineup is capable of, having faced them on Sept. 17 at Nationals Park which isnt a cakewalk for pitchers, but it still isnt Coors Field.

While Rockies pitchers tend to pitch well in Denver, relative to visiting pitchers, Marquez has a 5.18 FIP and 4.61 ERA at home in the second half. As for Colorados relievers, they havent been as bad as Washingtons bullpen this month, but they havent been all that great, either.

When it comes to Marquezs home runs allowed prop: its known hes a groundball pitcher, and hes only given up a homer at Coors in seven of his 17 home starts in 2021. But, five of the Coors outings in which hes surrendered a home run have come in the second half. Given his 2021 HR/9 (1.1) is right around his career mark (1.2), this regression was in order.

Juan Soto hasnt gone deep in three games, so why not do so in his first game at Coors since he dented more than a few baseballs in the Home Run Derby against a fellow 2021 NL All-Star whos looked like anything but that in the second half.

The Mariners havent posted good numbers against left-handed pitching throughout September, yet they tagged Cole Irvin for three runs over five innings when they ran into him on Sep. 22. Thats pretty much how its worked all season: Seattle cant hit lefties, and they hit Irvin hard.

The Oakland left-hander has faced Seattle four times in 2021, giving up three or more runs each time. Only once did he make it through five full innings his last start (Sept. 22), in which he gave up exactly three earned runs over five frames.

While the offense takes care of Irvin, Chris Flexen should be able to do what he typically does vs. Oakland. After the As hit him hard in their first meeting on June 2, the Seattle right-hander has put together three strong starts vs. Oakland. He even managed to punch out eight when he last saw the As a lineup that doesnt K much against righties.

Oakland hasnt been bad against right-handed pitching this month, but Flexen has pretty much been the definition of solid in 2021. Hes had a few hiccups, but he almost always gives Seattle a good chance at a win which probably has something to do with the Mariners winning 20 of his 29 starts this season.
