MLB July 22 Recap: No-Bet Card, Hot Hitters Go 10-5

The model produced a no-bet card. Gold Stars: 0-0. Hot Hitters: 10-5.

It was a no-bet MLB card, so the only thing to grade was the hot-hitter board. That side held up pretty well. The model liked a bunch of bats with real history against the listed pitchers, and most of them came through with traffic, extra bases, or both. A few missed, but the hit column did the heavy lifting.

Official Plays

No game reached the 60-point Official Play threshold, so there was no wager to grade.

Hot Hitters

Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger both got there against Mitch Keller, with each finding a hit and keeping the Yankees cluster alive. Boston’s side was even cleaner: Masataka Yoshida and Jarren Duran both cashed against Dean Kremer, and Duran added extra-base damage. Seattle also carried the load, with Luke Raley, Cal Raleigh, and Julio Rodríguez all landing hits off Brady Singer. José Ramírez came through against Bailey Ober, Luis Rengifo left the yard, and Christian Walker added another hit to the board. The misses were there, but the board still finished in the green.
