MLB Thursday Night Acca: Thursday, May 4th

Thursday is an off day for a third of the Majors, but that still leaves us with 20 games to find some value. There’s plenty to choose from, and it’s an ideal for European baseball fans to get stuck in thanks to a tonne of early start times.

Washington Nationals vs Chicago Cubs Preview

Thu, May 04. 18:05 (UK time)

Patrick Corbin pitches for the Nationals on Thursday evening. He has picked up where he left off in 2022, as perhaps the worst starter in the Majors. Corbin goes head-to-head with Jameson Taillon, who has pitched much better than his 4.50 ERA suggests.

Taillon has an xERA below three. He is returning from the injured list, and crucially pitched five shutout frames in his last start.

Washington Nationals vs Chicago Cubs Best Bet

Chicago is a top-10 offence according to their xwOBA. Washington is bottom five. With a chasm between the two starters, it would be a huge shock if the Cubs failed to win here despite dropping the last two. The Nats have lost 17 of Corbin’s last 21 starts.

Selection: Chicago Cubs moneyline
Best Odds: 1.45 (Bet365)
Stakes: 9/10

Kansas City Royals vs Baltimore Orioles Preview

Thu, May 04. 19:10 (UK time)

Only five teams strikeout more often than the Kansas City Royals. Their 72 wRC+ is the worst in the big leagues.

Grayson Rodriguez ranks in the 90th percentile in strikeout rate for the season, and has not allowed a run over his last two starts. The top prospect should be able to get a few innings under his belt here against an offence unlikely to do any damage.

Kansas City Royals vs Baltimore Orioles Best Bet

After a rocky start, Rodriguez has locked in and had consecutive dominant starts against the Tigers. Sure, Detroit’s offence is poor, but so is Kansas City’s. He has gone over this line in four consecutive outings – this is great value.

Selection: Grayson Rodriguez over 5.5 strikeouts
Best Odds: 1.87 (Bet365)
Stakes: 8/10

Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners Preview

Thu, May 05. 20:37 (UK time)

Seattle is going for the sweep in Oakland. The Athletics are trending towards one of the worst season in MLB history, and there’s little to suggest this is misrepresentative. Oakland has been abysmal on both sides of the ball.

Drew Rucinski is pitching for the second time this season for the hosts. This is his second MLB appearance since 2018. He gave up three earned runs and allowed 12 baserunners in his prior start.

Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners Best Bet

George Kirby, the master of command, gets the ball for Seattle. The Mariners have won three on the bounce after a losing streak, and Kirby has pitched six or more innings in four consecutive starts.

This is a game the Mariners will expect to win. Kirby’s command helps him rack up innings, which should put him in line for a third win of the season.

Selection: George Kirby to record the win
Best Odds: 2.05 (Bet365)
Stakes: 3/10

WHAT IS A BASEBALL ACCA?

A baseball acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A baseball acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create MLB accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the baseball acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
