We’re entering the third season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.
Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. Ray Brewer won the 2015-2016 season, after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-2015.
Arizona Diamondbacks plus-130 at Milwaukee Brewers: $400 to win $520
This line feels a little high for a game between two teams that are almost equally as poor. The Brewers dominated the first two games of the series, but they are not a team that’s going to piece together many three-game win streaks.
They’re weak offensively, and might not be much better off on the mound today. Starter Jimmy Nelson has struggled over the last month, and there’s no reason to believe he’ll turn it around against a decent Arizona offense.
Diamondbacks pitcher Archie Bradley has gone in the other direction, settling down to have dominant starts in two of his last three appearances. Being that this is the former top prospect’s first full season in the majors, it’s not outlandish to think he’s at the precipice of putting it all together.
Bradley is only 23-years-old, and has the stuff to last a long time in the league. Back him while the price is high against a soft-hitting lineup.
Current Standings: Keefer (4-2, $10,230), Brewer (1-5, $7,875), Bern (0-4, $8,420)
