Danny’s Picks for the RealTime 50/50 Challenge, July 27, 2018

Want to take on the Creativesports 2.0 staff, braino-y-braino, at  DFS?

Well, you can indeed at RealTime Sports, matching up against my Creativesports 2.0 mates and me, and get some bragging rights in the process.

Tune in here daily, as we pick up the Creativesports 2.0 gauntlet where you can play our daily 50/50 game ($5) or come right after us — for we will rotate experts — on Fridays in the free Beat the Experts contest. Beat us and you can win $2, and that might be easier than you think!

A full Friday slate is upon is as the MLB season creeps toward the July 31 trade deadline. For tonight’s action, the only weather concern is in Baltimore, where early showers are expect to bring storms at some point during the ballgame. It won’t be hard to avoid Orioles and Rays here, so let’s do this.      

Rougned Odor ($3900): Back to the well on this one, but Odor has been massively undervalued all month. The feast continued last week with Rangers’ second baseman hitting .393 with a 1.008 OPS, one homer, four RBI and four stolen bases — over just 28 at bats.

CC Sabathia ($4500): The veteran lefty has allowed three earned runs or fewer in seven of his past 10 starts and boasts respectable season-long numbers: 6-4 with a 3.51 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. Backed by a great lineup and bullpen, Sabathia is a good bet for a win against a weak Royals offense and rookie Brad Keller on the other side.
