20* MLB Sunday No-Doubt Rout on Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 (+100) The Toronto Blue Jays are 6-1 in their last seven games overall as they make their push for the postseason. One of the teams they are chasing is the A's, who they are trying to sweep today. They have scored 11 and 10 runs in the first two games of this series, so they are clearly swinging the bats well. Now the Blue Jays won't even need that much run support to cover this Run Line. That's because one of the best starters in baseball goes today for them. Robbie Ray has amazingly allowed 4 earned runs or fewer in 27 consecutive starts. Ray has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts, and 3 earned runs or fewer in 16 of his last 17 starts. Cole Irvin has allowed 3 earned runs or more in each of his last four starts. The Blue Jays will tag him today. Oakland is 0-7 this season after a game where the bullpen gave up 5 earned runs or more. It is coming back to lose by 3.7 runs per game in this spot. Take the Blue Jays on the Run Line Sunday. |

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-105) The Atlanta Braves come in highly motivated for a victory after getting swept by the Dodgers last series with their three losses coming by a combined four runs. They just got done playing the Dodgers, Giants and Yankees the last three series and now take a big step down in competition against the Rockies and should dominate Game 1 of this series. The Braves have a big advantage on the mound that should have them winning by two runs or more. Touki Toussant has been at his best on the road this season, going 2-1 with a 2.25 ERA and 1.042 WHIP in four starts away from home. Chi Chi Gonzalez hasn't been good anywhere. He is 2-5 with a 6.15 ERA in 16 starts for the Rockies this season, including 0-1 with a 10.50 ERA in his last three while allowing 14 earned runs in 12 innings. The Braves are 18-4 after losing four of their last five games coming in over the last three seasons. They are coming back to win by 3.0 runs per game in this spot.

20* MLB BLOWOUT GAME OF THE WEEK on Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 (-126) The Baltimore Orioles are 3-23 in their last 26 games overall with a whopping 21 losses by two runs or more. That's a big reason I'm willing to lay this juice on the Run Line on the Toronto Blue Jays, who need a big finish to make the postseason and won't be taking the Orioles lightly. They'll come back highly motivated after an upset loss to the Orioles yesterday. The Blue Jays have a big advantage on the mound tonight behind Steven Matz, who is 10-7 with a 3.81 ERA in 23 starts this season. Matz has been very good of late, going 1-0 with a 1.06 ERA and 0.882 WHIP in his last three starts. Matt Harvey is one of my favorite starters to fade in all of baseball. He is 6-14 with a 6.18 ERA and 1.508 WHIP in 26 starts this season. Harvey is also 0-2 with an 8.56 ERA in three starts against the Blue Jays this season, allowing 13 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings.

He has a whopping 192 K's in 152 1/3 innings this season. Amazingly, Ray has allowed 4 earned runs or fewer in 26 consecutive starts, including 3 or fewer in 23 of those.

They are just 14-41 in their last 55 games overall and just allowed 17 runs to the Chicago White Sox yesterday.

15* MLB Tuesday No-Doubt Rout on Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 (+100) The Baltimore Orioles are 0-12 in their last 12 games overall and have been outscored 113-36 in the process. They have lost all 12 games by two runs or more and 11 of them by three runs or more. Look for that trend to continue today against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays are built to have openers like Drew Rasmussen shut down the opponent in the early innings and their dominant bullpen take over in the middle innings. That was the case yesterday in their 9-2 win over the Orioles. And it should be more of the same today. John Means is definitely Baltimore's best starter, but even he has struggled of late. Means is 1-4 with a 6.06 ERA in his last seven starts, allowing 22 earned runs and 13 homers in 32 2/3 innings. Means is 0-1 with a 5.51 ERA in three starts against the Rays in 2021 alone, allowing 10 earned runs and 4 homers in 16 1/3 innings with the Orioles losing all three of his starts by two runs or more. Tampa Bay is 12-1 against Baltimore this season with 10 wins by two runs or more. The Orioles are 1-25 after a 5-game span where the bullpen had a 7.00 ERA or worse this season. They are losing by 3.9 runs per game in this spot. Tampa Bay is 27-6 in its last 33 home meetings with Baltimore. Take the Rays on the Run Line Tuesday. |

20* Interleague GAME OF THE MONTH on Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 (-125) The Toronto Blue Jays rank 2nd in runs per 9 innings, 2nd in average, 1st in OPS and 1st in homers this season. They have just the type of offense that you want to back on the Run Line. The Washington Nationals are just 1-12 in their last 13 games overall and clearly packed it in at the trade deadline. It won't get any easier for them with Erick Fedde on the mound. Fedde is 4-8 with a 5.12 ERA and 1.434 WHIP in 19 starts this season. Alek Manoah has been the best starter for the Blue Jays this season right alongside Robbie Ray. Manoah is 5-1 with a 2.59 ERA and 1.017 WHIP in 11 starts with 71 K's in 59 innings. He'll shut down the Nationals tonight. Washington is 0-8 in its last eight home games vs. an AL team with a slugging percentage of .440 or better and losing by 4.1 runs per game in this spot.

They have lost all 11 games by two runs or more and 10 of them by three runs or more. Look for that trend to continue today against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays come in highly motivated for a victory after losing two straight at Minnesota over the weekend. Now they are back home after a nine-game road trip. Collin McHugh takes the ball and has a 0.00 ERA and 0.450 WHIP in four starts this season spanning 6 2/3 innings. Matt Harvey is one of my favorite starters to fade in all of baseball. Harvey is 6-11 with a 6.10 ERA and 1.558 WHIP in 23 starts this season. He has faced the Rays once in his career and that came back on May 18th of this season.

20* MLB Wednesday No-Doubt Rout on New York Yankees -1.5 (-115) The Minnesota Twins have been huge money burners this season at 24-36 (-21.7 units) on the season. They have a terrible pitching staff and aren't hitting the ball as well as they have the past few seasons. I'll gladly fade them tonight considering the Yankees have big advantage on the mound. Gerrit Cole has been on top of baseball when it comes to the best starting pitchers the last handful of years. He is 6-3 with a 2.26 ERA and 0.872 WHIP in 12 starts this season with 104 K's in 75 2/3 innings. Cole fired 7 shutout innings in his lone career starts against the Twins in an 11-0 victory.

Indeed, the Dodgers are 13-2 in their last 15 games overall with 11 of those wins coming by two runs or more. It should be more of the same here against the San Francisco Giants due to their advantage on the mound. Walker Buehler is 3-0 with a 2.78 ERA and 0.891 WHIP in nine starts this season. Buehler has never lost to the Giants, going 5-0 with a 2.57 ERA in six career starts against them. The Dodgers are 6-0 in those games with five wins by 3 runs or more.

Clayton Kershaw missed his scheduled Game 2 start with back spasms but is good to go for Game 4. Kershaw is 8-2 with a 2.12 ERA and 0.816 WHIP in 12 starts this season.

Yu Darvish is 8-3 with a 2.13 ERA and 0.961 WHIP in 12 starts this season for the Cubs with 93 K’s and only 14 walks and 5 homers allowed in 76 innings. Darvish has been nothing short of dominant.

Sanchez struggled down the stretch in going 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA in his final two starts, allowing 9 earned runs and 18 base runners in 7 innings in losses to the Braves and Nationals.

He gave up just one earned run in six innings in his lone start against the Rockies in 2020. Antonio Senzatela is having a decent season for the Rockies. But he’s coming off a complete game against Oakland, and that will have taken a lot out of him. Senzatella does not enjoy facing the Dodgers, going 2-3 with a 6.62 ERA and 1.702 WHIP in seven career starts against them. He is 0-3 with an 8.66 ERA in his last three starts against the Dodgers, giving up 17 earned runs and seven homers in 17 2/3 innings.

Castillo is also 2-0 with a 2.16 ERA in his last four starts against the Pirates, allowing just six earned runs in 25 innings. He’ll be opposed by J.T. Brubaker, who is 1-1 with a 6.40 ERA and 1.579 WHIP in six starts this season for the Pirates. Pittsburgh is 6-24 in night games this season.

15* MLB Monday PLAY OF THE DAY on Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-110) The Atlanta Braves have now scored four or more runs in 13 of their last 15 games overall. They have cashed for us the past couple days, including yesterday as a +155 underdog as they put up eight runs on Max Scherzer and company. I’m back on the Braves today on the Run Line due to their offense, not due to Touki Toussaint getting he ball for them. He has a 6.11 ERA in four starts this season, but Baltimore starter Jorge Lopez has a 5.02 ERA in his three starts. The key here is that Toussaint will get run support, while the Orioles probably won’t be able to muster much offense. That has been the case recently as the Orioles are 0-5 in their last five games overall. They scored a total of three runs in their 4-game sweep at the hands of the New York Yankees over the weekend. The Braves are 11-1 as a road favorite of -110 or higher this season, outscoring opponents by an average of 2.8 runs per game. Take the Braves on the Run Line Monday. |

Masahiro Tanaka is 1-1 with a 3.37 ERA and 1.050 WHIP in six starts this season, including 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.40 WHIP in two road starts. Tanaka is also 5-3 with a 3.72 ERA and 1.230 WHIP in 15 career starts against Baltimore. Asher Wojciechowski is 1-3 with a 5.17 ERA and 1.436 WHIP in seven starts this season, including 1-2 with a 6.27 ERA and 1.500 WHIP in four home starts. Wojciechowski has never beaten the Yankees, going 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA and 1.667 WHIP in two career starts against them. The Yankees are 21-4 against the Orioles over the past three seasons. Baltimore is 4-26 after allowing three runs or less in two straight games over the last three seasons. Bet the Yankees on the Run Line Sunday. |

15* AL PLAY OF THE DAY on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (+100) The Cleveland Indians have split the first two games of this series. After dropping Game 1 by a final of 2-1, they bounced back with a 10-1 victory in Game 2. Look for them to stay hot at the plate tonight and win this game by multiple runs over the lowly Kansas City Royals. Triston McKenzie is a big reason why the Indians could afford to trade Mike Clevinger. McKenzie is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA and 0.900 WHIP in two starts this season with 13 K’s in 10 innings. He isn’t getting the respect he deserves from oddsmakers. Jake Junis is 0-0 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.579 WHIP in three starts this season for the Royals. Junis hates facing the Indians, going 3-6 with a 5.89 ERA and 1.404 WHIP in 11 career starts against them. That includes 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA in his last two, allowing 10 earned runs and 20 base runners in 10 innings. The Indians are 7-1 in their last eight games after scoring five or more runs in their previous game. Cleveland is 11-2 in its last 13 road games. The Indians are 39-12 in their last 51 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. The Royals are 28-74 in their last 102 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Cleveland is 47-23 in the last 70 meetings. Roll with the Indians on the Run Line Wednesday. |

15* MLB Tuesday PLAY OF THE DAY on Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-109) The Atlanta Braves have scored a combined 18 runs the past two days and are hot at the plate. I’ll gladly back them on the Run Line again today against the hapless Boston Red Sox, who are already looking forward to next year. Ian Anderson was great in his first start of the season, limiting the Yankees to one run and three base runners across 6 innings of a 5-1 victory on August 26th. He is a nice young talent that will shut down the Red Sox today. Ryan Weber has been rocked in every start this season. He is 0-2 with a 9.90 ERA and 2.400 WHIP in three starts, allowing 11 earned runs, 24 base runners and 5 homers in 10 innings of work. Atlanta is 17-2 as a favorite of -110 or higher this season, winning by 2.8 runs per game on average. Take the Braves on the Run Line Tuesday. |

15* MLB Monday PLAY OF THE DAY on Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-120) The Atlanta Braves just hung 12 runs on the Phillies yesterday en route to victory and should stay hot at the plate today against the hapless Boston Red Sox. While the Braves are in 1st place in the NL East and playing for something, the Red Sox are already looking forward to next year. Boston sits at just 12-22 on the season behind atrocious pitching as opponents are hitting .288 against them and scoring 6.1 runs per game. Boston starter Colton Brewer is 0-2 with a 5.22 ERA and 1.838 WHIP in three starts this season. The Braves have a huge advantage on the mound in this one. Max Fried has been dominant this season, going 5-0 with a 1.35 ERA and 0.950 WHIP in seven starts. The Braves are a perfect 7-0 in Fried’s seven starts this season and improve to 8-0 with a win by two runs or more tonight. Take the Braves on the Run Line Monday. |

20* MLB BLOWOUT GAME OF THE MONTH on Minnesota Twins -1.5 (-126) The Minnesota Twins have now lost four straight coming in. It’s safe to say they’ll be highly motivated for a victory Sunday after getting swept in their double-header against the lowly Detroit Tigers yesterday. Kenta Maeda has proven to be a great addition to the rotation this offseason after all the success he had with the Dodgers previously. Maeda is 4-0 with a 2.21 ERA and 0.709 WHIP in six starts this season with 40 K’s and only three homers and seven walks allowed in 36 2/3 innings. Casey Mize is a big prospect for the Tigers, but he has been a disappointment thus far. Mize is 0-1 with a 7.05 ERA and 1.828 WHIP in two starts this season, allowing 6 runs and 14 base runners in 7 2/3 innings. Minnesota is 40-10 as a favorite of -175 to -250 over the last two seasons, winning by 2.6 runs per game on average in this spot. Detroit is 12-41 as a home dog of +125 or more over the last two seasons, losing by 3.2 runs per game. Bet the Twins on the Run Line Sunday. |

15* MLB Wednesday PLAY OF THE DAY on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-111) I’m back on the Cleveland Indians today after getting lucky yesterday, cashing them in the 10th innings on the Run Line in a 6-3 victory over the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. I’m expecting them to win by multiple runs within nine innings tonight. The Pirates are one of the worst teams in baseball at 4-15 on the season. They are giving up 6.0 runs per game as they have a terrible staff, and they are hitting just .213 as a team offensively. Starter Steven Brault is averaging just 2.3 innings per start, so the Indians will get into the Pirates’ bullpen early, which has a 5.62 ERA on the season and a 6.47 ERA at home. Aaron Civale has been impressive for the Indians thus far. He is 2-2 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.120 WHIP in four starts with 26 K’s and only 3 walks in 25 innings. The Indians are now 9-3 in their last 12 games overall with eight of those wins coming by two runs or more. The Indians are 39-12 in their last 51 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Cleveland is 56-23 in its last 79 games as a favorite. Pittsburgh is 23-53 in its last 76 games as an underdog. The Pirates are 11-41 in their last 52 games vs. a team with a winning record. Pittsburgh is 1-11 in its last 12 Interleague games. Take the Indians on the Run Line Wednesday. |

15* MLB Run Line PLAY OF THE DAY on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-110) The Cleveland Indians have won three straight to improve to 8-3 in their last 11 games overall. Seven of those eight wins came by two runs or more, and I’ll back them on the Run Line here tonight against the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates are one of the worst teams in baseball at 4-14 on the season. Their pitching staff has been atrocious as they are giving up 6.0 runs per game, and they are only hitting .211 and scoring 4.1 runs per game offensively. Carlos Carrasco will shut down the Pirates tonight. Carrasco is back from cancer and 2-2 with a 3.22 ERA and 1.209 WHIP with 30 K’s in 22 1/3 innings over four starts this season. He is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA in one career start against Pittsburgh. The Indians are 5-0 in their last five road games. Cleveland is 5-1 in its last six games following an off day. The Indians are 38-13 in their last 51 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Cleveland is 55-23 in its last 78 games as a favorite. The Pirates are 11-41 in their last 52 vs. a team with a winning record. Take the Indians on the Run Line Tuesday. |

15* MLB Saturday PLAY OF THE DAY on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-108) The Detroit Tigers shockingly have a winning record (9-8) through 17 games despite being the worst team in baseball last year. But they didn’t do much to improve their team, and they are now getting too much respect from oddsmakers due to this start. Shane Bieber went 15-8 with a 3.28 ERA and 1.054 WHIP in 33 starts for the Indians last year. He has picked up right where he left off, going 3-0 with a 1.63 ERA and 0.759 WHIP with 43 K’s in 27 2/3 innings thus far in 2020. Spencer Turnbull is 5-19 with a 4.48 ERA and 1.380 WHIP in his three seasons in the big leagues. He is also getting too much respect after opening with a 2.00 ERA through three starts in 2020. He’s not as good as his numbers would indicate. Turnbull is 2-14 (-11.9 units) in home games vs. teams whose hitters strike out 7 or more times per game over the last two seasons. The Tigers are losing by 3.7 runs per game in this spot. Bieber is 9-0 (+9.1 units) vs. poor speed teams that average 0.35 or fewer stolen bases per game over the last two years. The Indians are winning by 2.4 runs per game in this spot. Take the Indians on the Run Line Saturday. |

They will be highly motivated for a victory in Game 3 tonight to avoid the sweep, and I expect them to win by multiple runs. Jake Arrieta is 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA and 1.000 WHIP through two starts this season against two very good lineups in the Yankees and Braves. Now Arrieta faces an Orioles team that he’s 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA and 0.878 WHIP against in two career starts. Philadelphia is 4-1 in its last five games after losing the first two games of a series. Take the Phillies on the Run Line Thursday. |

He is 3-2 with a 4.29 ERA in 13 career starts against the Royals. Brady Singer is 0-1 with a 4.80 ERA in three starts this season for Kansas City. Bet the Twins on the Run Line Sunday. |

15* MLB Monday PLAY OF THE DAY on Minnesota Twins -1.5 (-119) The Minnesota Twins have picked up right where they left off last season when they set a MLB record with 307 homers and won the AL Central. They are 7-2 this season and scoring 5.1 runs per game with 16 homers. The Pittsburgh Pirates are one of the worst teams in baseball. They sit at 2-7, hitting just .177 as a team and scoring 3.3 runs per game. Their starting rotation is terrible, and their bullpen has a 4.04 ERA and 1.536 WHIP. Minnesota’s rotation and bullpen have been solid. The bullpen has a 2.77 ERA and 1.128 WHIP on the season. Derek Holland is 3-7 with a 5.19 ERA and 1.493 WHIP in 13 career starts against Minnesota. Holland went 2-5 with a 6.08 ERA and 1.506 WHIP in 84 1/3 innings last year between the Giants and Cubs. Take the Twins on the Run Line Monday. |

15* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY on Cincinnati Reds -1.5 (-110) I’m back on the Reds today after their game with the Cubs got postponed yesterday. Sonny Gray and Luis Castillo are two aces on one staff for the Reds. I just backed Gray in victory, and now I’m on Castillo today. Castillo went 15-8 with a 3.40 ERA, a 1.143 WHIP and 10.7 K/9 over 32 starts for the Reds in 2019. In his first and only start of 2020, Castillo held the Tigers to just one run in six innings with 11 K’s to boot. He will handle them again tonight as the Reds win in blowout fashion. The Tigers are arguably the worst team in baseball but they are getting more respect than they deserve from oddsmakers after their surprising 4-3 start. They are hitting just .205 as a team with one of the worst lineups in baseball. Spencer Turnbull is 1-12 (-11 units) as a home underdogs of +100 or higher over the last two seasons. The Tigers are losing by 4.4 runs per game on average in this spot. Roll with the Reds on the Run Line Friday. |

20* MLB Saturday No-Doubt Rout on Cincinnati Reds -1.5 (-115) It just shows how strong the top of the rotation is for the Cincinnati Reds that Luis Castillo didn’t get the Opening Day start. That went to Sonny Gray, who shut down the Tigers in a 7-1 victory. Rinse and repeat today for Castillo. Castillo went 15-8 with a 3.40 ERA and 1.143 WHIP with 10.7 K/9 last season for the Reds. He is supported by one of the most underrated lineups in baseball, which makes the Reds a real contender in the NL Central this year. The Tigers were the worst team in baseball last year, and not much has changed in the offseason to change that. Their lineup and starting rotation are atrocious. That’s evident by having to send Ivan Nova out there as their No. 2 starter. The 33-year-old posted a 4.72 ERA across 34 starts for the White Sox last season. Bet the Reds on the Run Line Saturday. |

20* Rays/Astros ALDS No-Brainer on Houston -1.5 (-120) The Houston Astros knew they had an ace in their sleeve with Gerrit Cole to pitch Game 5 if need be. They took a shot with Justin Verlander on 3 days’ rest, and it didn’t work out. Now that ace in their sleeve will deliver for them tonight at home in Game 5. Gerrit Cole is 17-0 over his last 23 starts with his last loss coming clear back on May 22nd. He has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in 21 of those 23 starts. Cole is deserving of the AL Cy Young as he is 21-5 with a 2.41 ERA and 0.886 WHIP in 34 starts this season with 341 K’s in 220 innings. Cole pitched 7 2/3 shutout innings in Game 2 against the Rays with 15 K’s. Tyler Glasnow was opposite Justin Verlander in a 2-6 loss to the Astros in Game 1. He allowed 2 runs and 7 base runners in 4 1/3 innings in the defeat. He’s not ready for this big of a stage. And the Astros have basically seen the entire Rays’ bullpen to this point, so they’ll know what to expect when Glasnow gets removed early. Cole is 46-11 as a favorite of -150 or more over the last two seasons. The Astros are winning by 3.6 runs per game in this spot. Te Rays are 0-5 in their last five divisional playoff road games. Houston is 6-0 in its last six divisional playoff home games. The Astros are 27-4 in Cole’s last 31 home starts. Bet the Astros on the Run Line Thursday. |

15* MLB Sunday No-Doubt Rout on St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (-135) The St. Louis Cardinals are doing everything they can to hand the NL Central to the Brewers. The Brewers do not want to take it, losing the last two days to the Brewers. So the Cardinals are still in a great position despite losing four straight coming in. They clinch the NL Central with a win Sunday over the Cubs. Now the Cardinals hand the ball to who I believe should win the NL Cy Young in Jack Flaherty. Flaherty has posted a minuscule 0.97 ERA in five September Starts after posting a 0.71 ERA in August. Opponents are only hitting .198, .145 and .122 against him over the last three months. Flaherty is 2-2 with a 3.21 ERA and 1.071 WHIP in eight career starts against Chicago, including 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA in his last two starts against them while allowing just one earned run in 15 innings. The Cardinals should get their bats going today against Derek Holland. The left-hander is 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA in seven starts this season, 0-2 with an 8.10 ERA in four road starts, and 0-2 with an 11.37 ERA in his last three starts. The Cubs are 2-9 in their last 11 games overall. The Cardinals are 41-17 in their last 58 games after losing the first two games of a series. Bet the Cardinals on the Run Line Sunday. |

15* MLB Thursday PLAY OF THE DAY on Washington Nationals -1.5 (-130) The Washington Nationals now hold just a one game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers for home-field advantage for the wild card game. They can’t afford to relax despite winning the first four games of this series with the Phillies. They go for the rare five-game sweep today, and I expect them to get it by multiple runs. The Nationals have a big edge on the mound tonight with Stephen Strasburg, who is 17-6 with a 3.37 ERA and 1.049 WHIP in 32 starts this season. He is 9-2 with a 3.33 ERA and 0.968 WHIP in 13 home starts, and 1-0 with a. 2.00 ERA and 1.056 WHIP in his last three starts. Strasburg owns the Phillies, going 13-2 with a 2.62 ERA and 0.959 WHIP in 26 career starts against them. Jason Vargas finally picked up his first win for the Phillies since he was traded to them from the Mets prior to the deadline. But Vargas has not been good, going 7-8 with a 4.18 ERA in 28 starts this season. Vargas is 4-4 with a 4.82 ERA in 13 road starts, and 1-1 with a 5.68 ERA in his last three starts overall. Washington is 15-1 vs. an NL team with an OBP of .315 or worse in the second half of the season this season. It is winning by 3.2 runs per game in this spot. The Phillies are 0-5 in their last five road games. The Nationals are 86-35 in Strasburg’s last 121 starts. Washington is 10-2 in its last 12 vs. a left-handed starter. Roll with the Nationals on the Run Line Thursday. |

20* MLB Wednesday No-Doubt Rout on Oakland A’s -1.5 (-125) The Oakland A’s have lost two in a row and are now just a half-game up on the Rays, who are just a half-game up on the Indians. Only two of those three teams will make the wild card. It’s important for the A’s to bounce back today and beat the Angels, who are missing Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, and I expect them to do it by multiple runs. Andrew Heaney has been roughed up in September, going 1-3 with a 9.31 ERA in four starts this month. He has given up 12 earned runs in 8 1/3 innings in his last two starts. Heaney has allowed 19 home runs in 90 innings pitched this season, including 5 in his last two starts. Heaney allowed 5 runs in 6 innings in his lone start against the A’s this season. Frankie Montas makes his return from an 80-game ban due to PED’s. Montas is 9-2 with a 2.70 ERA in 15 starts this season and was having an All-Star caliber year prior to the suspension. He has worked back his stamina up to 100 pitches and is ready to help the team make the postseason. Montas is 2-0 with a 3.94 ERA and 1.063 WHIP in three career starts against the Angels. The Angels are 1-10 in home games off an upset win over a division opponent as an underdog over the last three seasons. The A’s are 24-6 in their last 30 games following a loss. The Angels are 17-37 in their last 54 games overall. Oakland is 6-1 in the last seven meetings. Bet the A’s on the Run Line Wednesday. |

15* MLB Tuesday Late-Night BAILOUT on Oakland A’s -1.5 (-129) The Oakland A’s are once again one of the most underrated teams in baseball this season. However, despite the fact that they are 94-62 on the season, they haven’t clinched a playoff spot yet. They are only 1.5 games up on the Rays and 2 games up on the Indians for the top wild card spot. They can’t afford to take their foot off the gas. While the A’s are 10-2 in their last 12 games overall, the Angels have clearly packed it in, going 7-21 in their last 28 games overall. They are playing without their two best players in Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani here down the stretch. And now they are starting Dillon Peters, who is 2-3 with a 6.08 ERA and 1.627 WHIP in 10 starts this season, including 0-1 with a 7.94 ERA and 2.118 WHIP in his last three starts. Homer Bailey has proven to be a huge acquisition for the A’s prior to the deadline. He is 4-0 with a 1.88 ERA in his last seven starts, allowing just 9 earned runs in 43 innings. Bailey is coming off his best start of the season, pitching seven shutout innings against the Royals with a season-high 11 strikeouts. The A’s are 24-5 in their last 29 games following a loss. Oakland is 57-26 in its last 83 games overall. The Angels are 0-7 in their last seven home games vs. a right-handed starter. Los Angeles is 3-14 in its last 17 during Game 1 of a series. The Angels are 16-37 in their last 53 games overall. Roll with the A’s on the Run Line Tuesday. |

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (-115) The St. Louis Cardinals are coming up clutch late in the season a year after blowing the division in September last season. The Cardinals have now won six straight to take a 3.5-game lead over the Brewers for first place in the NL Central. They can’t afford to let up here. Now the Cardinals are facing an Arizona Diamondbacks team that has officially been eliminated from the postseason as of last night. That realization will make it hard for them to even show up tonight. And I expect Mike Leake, who is 12-11 with a 4.62 ERA in 31 starts this season, to get rocked. Jack Flaherty is making a strong push to win the Cy Young in the National League. Flaherty is 6-3 with a 1.07 ERA in 14 starts since July 7. He has 113 K’s against 21 walks in 92 1/3 innings in that span, limiting opponents to a .148 batting average. He has only given up more than two runs once in those 14 starts. St. Louis is 54-14 in its last 68 games as a road favorite of -175 or more. It is winning by 3.0 runs per game in this spot. The Cardinals are 7-0 in road games off two straight wins by two runs or less this season. St. Louis is 46-22 in its last 68 games overall. The Diamondbacks are 0-6 in their last six vs. a team with a winning record. Take the Cardinals on the Run Line Tuesday. |

They can move closer to winning the division with a Game 1 win over the Detroit Tigers Tuesday. I expect them to win this game by multiple runs tonight. Jake Odorizzi is 14-7 with a 3.59 ERA and 1.235 WHIP in 29 starts this season. Odorizzi owns the Tigers, going 5-1 with a 3.25 ERA and 1.131 WHIP in 11 career starts against them. He is 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA in three starts against the Tigers in 2019. Spencer Turnbull is 3-15 with a 4.66 ERA and 1.467 WHIP in 28 starts this season, including 0-10 with a 5.08 ERA and 1.527 WHIP in 15 home starts. Turnbull has never beaten the Twins, going 0-2 with a 6.64 ERA and 1.622 WHIP in four career starts against them. The Tigers are 2-14 in Turnbull’s last 16 home starts. Turnbull is 1-11 as a home underdog of +100 or higher this season. The Tigers are losing by 4.7 runs per game in this spot. The Twins are 5-0 in Odorizzi’s last five road starts. Detroit is 0-8 in Turnbull’s last eight home starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Twins are 7-0 in Odorizzi’s last seven starts against the Tigers. These four trends combine for a 31-1 system backing Minnesota. Bet the Twins on the Run Line Tuesday. |
