MLB Best Bet Today – August 10, 2022
Brandon Woodruff and the Milwaukee Brewers will host Jeffrey Springs and the Tampa Bay Rays at American Family Field today. For this bet, we're backing two high-end starting pitchers early in this game.
Woodruff's enjoyed an outstanding season for Milwaukee thus far. He boasts a 9-3 record with a 3.49 ERA through 16 starts. He also owns a dominant 3.35 xFIP in those starts.
Woodruff is a dominant strikeou t option, entering this game with a 29.4% strikeout rate. He is a flyball pitcher, but he's held his opponents to a 0.74 HR/9 through 85 innings in 2022. The only real concern is that his walk rate is up to 7.6%, which is his highest since 2018.
