CLEVELAND – A full slate of MLB action is on deck Friday night, starting with the Royals visiting the Guardians at 6:10 EST. Here are some bets sure to boost your bankroll going into the weekend.

Jose Ramirez Raking Against Lefties

The five-time Silver Slugger has been solid so far this season, hitting .250 with a .639 slugging percentage. He’s been especially effective against lefties, going 3 for 8 with two doubles and a home run.

Two of his six RBIs this season have come against lefties, although he has just eight at-bats against lefties compared to 28 against righties.

Additionally, he will face Kris Bubic, who Ramirez has faced for six at bats, which have resulted in four hits and three RBIs.

Take Ramirez to record over 1.5 bases at +125 and consider betting on him to record an RBI at +210.

MLB Hitters To Watch 4/11:

Jose Ramirez – .667 AVG & 1.548 OPS in 6 AB vs. Kris Bubic

Vinnie Pasquantino – .700 AVG & 2.300 OPS with 2 HR in 10 AB vs. Tanner Bibee

Spencer Steer – .538 AVG & 1.523 OPS with 1 HR in 13 AB vs. Bailey Falter

Wilyer Abreu On A Tear vs RHP

Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman demand a lot of attention when it comes to the Red Sox, but Wilyer Abreu has quietly put together a great start to the season, hitting .350 through 14 games.

Abreu leads the Sox in both batting average and homeruns, despite being just seventh on the team in at bats.

He has faced righties for 36 of his 40 at bats, with just one hit coming from his four at bats against lefties. Abreu has gone 13 for 36 (.361) against righties with three home runs, three doubles, and 11 RBIs.

Take Abreu to comfortably go over his line of 0.5 bases at legal sports betting sites. Abreu’s odds to record a double sit at +425, a solid investment for a player who ranked 26th in doubles a season ago despite ranking just 174th in at bats.

Expect Fireworks In Cubs vs Dodgers

The Cubs lead the majors in RBIs by a decent margin with 93 total RBIs, the next closest being the Yankees at 78. The Dodgers rank fifth with 67 total RBIs.

The Cubs also lead the league in total hits with 130, while the Dodgers lead the majors in home runs with 28 long balls.

A trend for both teams is runs being put up early in the game. The Dodgers have either scored or allowed a run in the first inning in six of their last seven contests, while the Cubs have done it in three of their last six.

Bet on there to be a run scored in the first inning at -110 at MLB betting sites. The run line is set at 8.0, which you can also expect to go over.

The Cubs average 6.4 runs per game while allowing 4.5 per game and the Dodgers score 4.9 runs per game and allow 3.9.
