20* AL TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Astros/Rangers OVER 8.5

The Texas Rangers are 6-0 OVER in their last six games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in all six games.  The Houston Astros are 9-3-1 OVER in their last 13 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 11 of those 13 games.  This total of 8.5 is too short for a game involving the Astros and Rangers right now.

Cristian Javier is 0-1 with a 10.22 ERA and 2.27 WHIP this season allowing 14 earned runs and 28 base runners in 12 1/3 innings with just 8 K's.  He is backed by a poor Houston bullpen with a 4.31 ERA this season and a 4.48 ERA on the road.

MacKenzie Gore is 5-8 with a 4.72 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 19 starts for the Rangers this season.  Gore allowed 7 earned runs to the Angels and 5 earned runs to the Guardians in his last two starts coming in.  He allowed 6 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings to the Astros in his last start against them.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Braves/Cardinals OVER 7.5

After two straight unders to start this series, this total of 7.5 has been set too low today and there's clear value with the OVER.  These two starting pitchers aren't good enough to warrant this low of a total.  The Braves are scoring 4.9 runs per game and the Cardinals 4.5 runs per game this season.

Danny Young will serve as an opener for the Braves before giving way to JR Ritchie, who is 1-2 with a 4.60 ERA and 1.47 WHIP this season while allowing 23 earned runs in 45 innings.

Dustin May is 5-6 with a 4.55 ERA in 17 starts for the Cardinals this season.  May has really struggled of late allowing 11 earned runs in 7 1/3 innings in his last two starts.  He doesn't enjoy facing the Braves, either, allowing 9 earned runs in 6 1/3 innings in his last two starts against them.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* MLB Sunday Afternoon BLOWOUT on Boston Red Sox -107

The Boston Red Sox have won 8 consecutive games to make a charge prior to the All-Star Break.  They would love to make it 9 in a row and finish the right way going into the break.  The New York Mets are just ready for the All-Star Break to get here.  They are 6-15 in their last 21 games overall and already out of contention at 40-56 on the season.  They have been lifeless in getting outscored 10-2 in losing the first two games of this series.

The Red Sox also have a big advantage on the mound today with Payton Tolle, who is 5-6 with a 3.36 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 14 starts this season.  Tolle has been at his best on the road, going 3-3 with a 2.87 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in six starts away from home.

Left-handed Zach Thornton will be making his 3rd career start.  He is 0-1 with a 4.35 ERA in two starts this season allowing 5 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings.  The Red Sox have crushed left-handed pitching all season and will knock Thornton out early in this one.  Bet the Red Sox Sunday.

20* MLB Sunday Total DOMINATOR on Yankees/Nationals OVER 9

The Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team going 54-38-4 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The Yankees are scoring 4.8 runs per game, and they finally are getting healthier and swinging the bats well again.  They just had 11, 13 and 14 hits in three of their last five games, and 9 hits yesterday.

Will Warren is 7-4 with a 4.05 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 18 starts this season, including 3-2 with a 4.30 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in nine road starts.  Warren has allowed a whopping 13 earned runs and 5 homers in 15 innings in his last three starts coming in.

Cade Cavallie is 5-4 with a 3.88 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 19 starts this season, including 2-2 with a 4.01 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 10 home starts.  He is backed by a poor Washington bullpen with a 5.03 ERA this season and a 5.69 ERA at home.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* MLB Sunday No-Doubt Rout on Washington Nationals -106

The Washington Nationals will be highly motivated for a victory in Game 3 after losing the first two games of this series to the New York Yankees.  I like their chances with a big advantage at the plate scoring 5.3 runs per game compared to 4.8 runs per game from a banged up Yankees lineup.

I also give the Nationals the advantage on the mound today.  Cade Cavalli is 5-4 with a 3.88 ERA in 19 starts this season with 105 K's in 92 2/3 innings.  Cavalli has been consistent allowing 3 earned runs or fewer in 17 of his 19 starts, and 4 earned runs in the two starts he didn't.

Will Warren is 7-4 with a 4.05 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 18 starts this season, including 3-2 with a 4.30 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in nine road starts.  Warren has allowed a whopping 13 earned runs and 5 homers in 15 innings in his last three starts coming in for a 7.80 ERA during this stretch.  Bet the Nationals Sunday.

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Atlanta Braves -114

The Atlanta Braves have a big advantage on the mound over the St. Louis Cardinals tonight and should be bigger favorites as a result. They also have the hitting advantage scoring 4.9 runs per game compared to 4.5 runs per game for the Cardinals. They have the better bullpen as well.

Reynaldo Lopez has been one of the most underrated starters in baseball over the last couple seasons. Lopez is 4-1 with a 3.18 ERA this season allowing 20 earned runs and only 7 homers in 56 2/3 innings. He held the Cardinals to one earned run in 5 innings with 6 K's in a 5-1 victory on July 1st in his last start against them.

Matthew Liberatore is a gas can for the Cardinals. He is 4-6 with a 5.34 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 18 starts this season, allowing 52 earned runs and 17 homers in 87 2/3 innings. Liberatore has allowed 7 earned runs and 2 homers in 8 innings in his last two starts against the Braves. Bet the Braves Saturday.

20* Interleague TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Yankees/Nationals OVER 9

The Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team going 54-37-4 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The Yankees are scoring 4.8 runs per game, and they finally are getting healthier and swinging the bats well again.  They just had 11, 13 and 14 hits in three of their last four games.

The Yankees will stay hot against the Nationals today.  Miles Mikolas is one of the worst starters in baseball, going 3-7 with a 5.58 ERA in 19 games while allowing 56 earned runs and 20 homers in 90 1/3 innings.  The Nationals also have one of the worst bullpens in baseball with a 5.03 ERA this season.

No question Cam Schlittler is having a great season, but he has finally regressed in recent starts. He has allowed 7 earned runs and 4 homers in 12 innings in his last two starts against the Tigers and Rays. Now he faces one of the best lineups in baseball in the Nationals. Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* MLB Saturday Total DOMINATOR on Rockies/Giants OVER 8.5

The Rockies and their opponents have gone for at least 9 combined runs in 12 of their last 16 games overall.  They have scored at least 6 runs in nine of those 16 games so they are swinging the bats very well.

The Giants are 7-2-2 OVER in their last 11 games overall going for 9 or more combined runs in 10 of those 11 games.  They have scored 6 runs or more in five of their last nine games overall and are swinging the bats well also.  This total of 8.5 is too short today.

Kyle Freeland is one of the worst starters in baseball. He is 2-7 with a 7.46 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 17 starts this season, including 0-5 with an 8.62 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in nine road starts.

Tyler Mahle hasn't been much better for the Giants. He is 1-8 with a 5.70 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 14 starts this season. Mahle allowed 3 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 7-6 loss to the Rockies in his last start against them on July 5th. Now they get to see him less than a week later, which is a big advantage for them.

The Rockies and Giants have combined for at least 10 runs in seven of their last eight meetings. Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* MLB Friday Late-Night BAILOUT on Rockies/Giants OVER 8

The Rockies and their opponents have gone for at least 9 combined runs in 12 of their last 15 games overall.  They have scored at least 6 runs in nine of those 15 games so they are swinging the bats very well.

The Giants are 7-1-2 OVER in their last 10 games overall going for 9 or more combined runs in all 10 games.  They have scored 6 runs or more in five of their last eight games overall and are swinging the bats well also.  This total of 8 is too short tonight.

That's especially the case when you consider both hot lineups get to see the same two starting pitchers for the 3rd time in just over a month.  Tanner Gordon allowed 9 earned runs and 4 homers in 8 innings in his two starts against the Giants on May 31st and July 5th.  Opposite Gordon was Robbie Ray for one of those starts, and Ray allowed 6 runs, 4 earned, and 15 base runners in 10 innings in his two starts against the Rockies over that same time frame.

Gordon is 0-2 with a 6.95 ERA and 1.59 WHIP this season while allowing 35 earned runs and 11 homers in 45 1/3 innings.  Ray is 8-6 with a 3.45 ERA in 17 starts this season.  But Ray is 7-6 with a 5.10 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 24 career starts against the Rockies.  

The Rockies and Giants have combined for at least 10 runs in seven consecutive meetings, making for a 7-0 system backing the OVER pertaining to this 8-run total.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* MLB Friday Total DOMINATOR on Yankees/Nationals OVER 10

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 10 ticket between the Yankees and Nationals in Game 1 of this series tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's for the entire game so it will be hot and humid and the ball should be flying out.

The Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team going 54-36-4 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The Yankees are scoring 4.8 runs per game, and they finally are getting healthier and swinging the bats well again.  They just had 11 and 14 hits in two of their last three games against the Rays.

The Yankees will stay hot against the Nationals today.  Opener Carson Palmquist is 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA this season.  He'll be followed by Zack Littell, who is 7-6 with a 5.02 ERA while allowing 48 earned runs and 22 homers in 86 innings.  The Nationals also have one of the worst bullpens in baseball with a 5.02 ERA this season.

But the Nationals will also crush Ryan Weathers, who is 3-7 with a 4.29 ERA in 17 starts this season, including 1-2 with a 4.64 ERA in six road starts.  Weathers has allowed at least 4 earned runs in five of his last nine starts.  He has posted a 6.20 ERA in four career starts against the Nationals, allowing 14 earned runs in 20 1/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* AL GAME OF THE WEEK on Tampa Bay Rays -107

The Tampa Bay Rays have a big advantage on the mound over the Seattle Mariners in Game 1 of this series tonight and should be much bigger favorites as a result.  They also have the much better lineup scoring 4.5 runs per game compared to 4.1 runs per game for the Mariners.  They are the better team playing the better baseball.

Nick Martinez is 7-2 with a 2.61 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 17 starts for the Rays this season.  He'll be opposed by Luis Castillo, who is 3-7 with a 4.79 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 14 starts and three relief appearances this season.  Castillo is 1-2 with 5.32 ERA in his last four starts against the Rays, and 1-2 with a 5.28 ERA in three career road starts at Tampa Bay.  Bet the Rays Friday.

20* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Diamondbacks/Padres OVER 8.5

The Diamondbacks and Padres combined for 14 runs and 23 hits yesterday.  It should be another slug fest tonight given the poor quality of both starting pitchers in this one.

Merrill Kelly is 6-8 with a 5.71 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 15 starts for the Diamondbacks this season allowing 55 earned runs and 19 homers in 86 2/3 innings.  Kelly has allowed 16 earned runs and 6 homers in 22 1/3 innings in his last four starts.  He is 0-3 with a 5.09 ERA in his last three starts against the Padres allowing 10 earned runs in 17 2/3 innings.

Griffin Canning has been even worse, going 1-6 with a 6.71 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in nine starts and three relief appearances this season while allowing 38 earned runs in 51 innings.  He has allowed 10 earned runs and 4 homers in 17 innings in his last three starts against Arizona.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

15* MLB Wednesday Late-Night BAILOUT on Diamondbacks/Padres OVER 7.5

Rookie Jose Cabrera has had a rough go of it for the Diamondbacks. He is 0-1 with a 4.72 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in three starts this season, allowing 7 earned runs, 3 homers and 21 base runners in 13 1/3 innings with just 10 K's.

Michael King is 5-7 with a 3.52 ERA in 18 starts for the Padres this season. But King has really struggled of late allowing 3 earned runs or more in six of his last eight starts. I fully expect both offenses to get 4-plus runs tonight.

The Diamondbacks and Padres have combined for at least 8 runs in 11 of their last 16 meetings, including 9 runs or more in nine of them.  This total of 7.5 is too short tonight.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

20* MLB Wednesday Total DOMINATOR on Astros/Nationals OVER 9

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team going 54-36-3 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The Astros are 49-42-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 5.0 runs per game.

The Nationals beat the Astros 12-11 In Game 1 for 23 combined runs.  They came back for 9 runs in Game 2, and this total of 9 is too short for Game 3 given the forecast. Temps will be in the 80's with light winds blowing out to center.

The Nationals have a 5.06 ERA as a bullpen and a 5.80 ERA at home, while the Astros have a 4.30 ERA as a bullpen and a 4.48 ERA on the road. Both teams should continue piling on the runs once these starters exit.

Spencer Arrighetti comes in really struggling going 0-3 with a 7.55 ERA in his last six starts while allowing 26 earned runs and 8 homers in 31 innings. The OVER is 11-7 in Foster Griffin's 18 starts this season with 10 or more combined runs in 11 of those 18 starts. Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Braves/Pirates OVER 8.5

The Pittsburgh Pirates have quietly been an OVER team this season with one of the most improved offenses in baseball.  They have gone 54-36-2 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 4.9 runs per game.

Atlanta also has a potent lineup scoring 4.9 runs per game. These teams combined for 16 runs yesterday in Game 1. With temps in the 80's again the ball should be flying out in Game 2.

Grant Holmes is 5-4 with a 3.83 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 17 games this season allowing 35 earned runs and 15 homers in 82 1/3 innings. He'll be opposed by Jared Jones, who is 1-1 with a 5.28 ERA in seven starts this season, including 0-0 with a 6.92 ERA in three home starts.

The Braves are 5-1 OVER in their last six games overall with 8 or more combined runs in all six games, including 13 or more runs in five of them.  The Pirates are 8-3 OVER in their last 11 games overall with 8 or more combined runs in 10 of those 11 games, and 10 or more in eight of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* MLB Tuesday Late-Night BAILOUT on Rockies/Dodgers OVER 9.5

The Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.3 runs per game.  The Colorado Rockies are hot at the plate scoring 6 runs or more in nine of their last 12 games overall.  The Dodgers beat the Rockies 8-7 in extra last night for 15 combined runs to really tax both bullpens as both teams used five different pitchers.  It will be another slug fest in Game 2 tonight.

The Dodgers are capable of covering this total on their own against Michael Lorenzen, who is 3-9 with a 6.91 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 19 games this season allowing 66 earned runs and 155 base runners in 86 innings.  Lorenzen allowed 3 earned runs in 5 innings of a 9-6 win over the Dodgers in his lone start against them this season.

Justin Wrobleski is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball as we head into the All-Star Break.  His 2.80 ERA in unsustainable when he is a contact pitcher with just 64 K's in 93 1/3 innings.  The red hot Rockies will do enough damage off him to contribute to us cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

20* NL West TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Diamondbacks/Padres OVER 8.5

Two of the worst starters in baseball square off tonight when the Diamondbacks take on the Padres in Game 2 of this series.  The Diamondbacks have scored at least 4 runs in five of their last six games overall.  The Padres have scored at least 5 runs in six of their last 13 games overall.

Zac Gallen is 3-8 with a 6.65 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 18 starts this season, including 0-4 with a 7.54 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in nine road starts.  He has allowed at least 4 earned runs in six of his last seven starts while going 0-4 with a 8.60 ERA while allowing 36 earned runs and 10 homers in 37 2/3 innings during this stretch.

The Nationals beat the Astros 12-11 last night for 23 combined runs.  It will be more of the same tonight as both offenses will have their way with these two suspect starting pitchers and bullpens tonight.  The Nationals have a 5.06 ERA as a bullpen and a 5.80 ERA at home, while the Astros have a 4.30 ERA as a bullpen and a 4.48 ERA on the road.

Andrew Alvarez is 2-1 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in five starts and six relief appearances this season.  He doesn't go deep into games as he is converted reliever, putting that much more pressure on this terrible Washington bullpen. Alvarez hasn't made it out of the 5th inning in any of his starts this season.

Tasuya Imai has been one of the worst starters in baseball this season.  He is 5-4 with a 6.14 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 12 starts while allowing 33 earned runs in 48 1/3 innings.  He allowed 5 earned runs in 1 1/3 innings to the Twins in his last start.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* MLB Monday Total DOMINATOR on Brewers/Cardinals OVER 8

The Milwaukee Brewers are scoring 5.1 runs per game this season with one of the best offenses in baseball.  The St. Louis Cardinals are scoring 4.6 runs per game with an underrated offenses as well.  Both offenses should flourish tonight with temps in the 80's in St. Louis.

The Brewers are capable of covering this total on their own against Dustin May, who has allowed a whopping 11 earned runs in 2 2/3 innings in his last two starts.  He has fallen to 5-6 with a 4.80 ERA in 16 starts this season.

Shane Drohan is more of an innings eater for the Brewers than a starter making seven starts and 10 relief appearances.  He has allowed 2 earned runs or more in four of his last six starts despite rarely making it past the 5th inning.  This total of 8 is too short tonight.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

15* MLB Monday Night BLOWOUT on Atlanta Braves -125

The Atlanta Braves are 52-36 this season and trying to win the NL East.  The New York Mets are 37-53 this season with pretty much nothing to play for the rest of the way.  And they have been playing like it going 3-12 in their last 15 games overall.  The All-Star Break can't get here soon enough for them.

The Braves need to be bigger favorites today given their advantage on the mound and at the plate.  They are scoring 4.9 runs per game this season compared to 4.0 runs per game for the Mets, who have been even worse on the road at 3.7 runs per game which is the worst mark in the National League.

Reynaldo Lopez is 4-1 with a 3.31 ERA this season.  He is 3-0 with a 3.19 ERA and 1.10 WHIP at home allowing just 11 earned runs and 2 homers in 31 innings.  Lopez is 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA in four career starts against the Mets.  He has fired 9 shutout innings in his last two starts against them.

15* MLB Sunday Total DOMINATOR on White Sox/Guardians UNDER 8.5

Rain is possible with light winds blowing in from center in Cleveland today.  This is one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in baseball, and these are two of the worst lineups in baseball in their current state.  This total of 8.5 has been set too high today as a result.

The White Sox will make this a bullpen game starting with Chris Murphy, who has a 3.79 ERA this season while allowing just 8 earned runs and one homer in 19 innings.  They have a decent bullpen with a 4.13 ERA this season, including a 2.98 ERA in division games.

Tanner Bibee is 2-9 in spite of a 3.69 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 18 starts for the Guardians this season.  He is 1-5 with a 3.45 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 10 home starts.  Bibee has pitched well, but he's not getting much run support which is the reason for his poor record.  Bibee has owned the White Sox pitching 15 shutout innings while allowing just 6 base runners in his last two starts against them.

The UNDER is 7-2 in the last nine meetings between the White Sox and Guardians with 7 or fewer combined runs in seven of those nine meetings.  This total of 8.5 has been set too high today.  Bet the UNDER in this game Sunday.

20* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Twins/Yankees OVER 8

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 57-32-1 OVER in all games this season.  That includes 25-10-1 OVER in their last 36 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in 24 of their last 33 games, and 10 or more in 22 of those.  They Twins are scoring 4.9 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game this season.

Ryan Weathers is 3-6 with a 4.08 ERA in 16 starts for the Yankees this season allowing 16 homers in 88 1/3 innings.  Weathers has allowed 5 earned runs or more in four of his last eight starts.  Temps will be in the 80's in New York today so the ball should be flying out again.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* MLB Saturday Late-Night BAILOUT on Marlins/A's OVER 11

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 11 ticket between the Marlins and A's tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park.  It was a similar forecast last night when these teams combined for 17 runs in Game 1, and it should be more of the same in Game 2 tonight.

The Marlins are red hot at the plate scoring 4 runs or more in eight of their last 10 games overall, including 10 runs or more in three of their last five during a 4-1 OVER run.  The A's have gone for 12 or more combined runs in five of their last eight games during their 5-3 OVER run.

Shota Imanaga is 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA in his last eight starts while allowing a whopping 33 earned runs and 15 homers in 44 innings.  Imanaga allowed 5 earned runs and 3 homers in 5 1/3 innings of a 6-5 loss to the Cardinals in his lone start against them this season.

Kyle Leahy has been awful on the road this season going 3-1 with a 5.35 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in seven road starts.  He has allowed 21 earned runs, 9 homers and 57 base runners in 35 1/3 innings on the highway this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* MLB Saturday Total DOMINATOR on Giants/Rockies OVER 12

The Rockies are 7-2 OVER in their last nine games overall going for 13 or more combined runs in seven of those nine games.  That includes 5-1 OVER in their six home games during this stretch with 14 or more combined runs in five of those.  The Giants have gone 3-0 OVER in their last three games overall.

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 12 ticket between the Giants and Rockies again tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with light winds blowing out to center.  These teams combined for 18 runs yesterday, and the OVER is now 3-0-1 in four meetings in Colorado this season with 18, 25, 11 and 14 combined runs.

Robbie Ray is 2-5 with a 4.54 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in eight road starts for the Giants this season.  Ray is 6-6 with a 5.13 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 23 career starts against the Rockies.  The OVER is 3-0 in his last three starts at Colorado.

15* MLB Friday Late-Night BAILOUT on Padres/Dodgers OVER 8

The Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.4 runs per game.  The Padres have a taxed bullpen off six consecutive losses including going for 26 combined runs with the Cubs Thursday and 16 Wednesday, and then 12 runs to the Dodgers yesterday after blowing a 6-0 lead.  They have given up 44 runs the last three days.  They also recently allowed 15 runs to the Dodgers to start this 6-game skid.

Michael King has really struggled of late going 1-5 in his last seven starts allowing 3 earned runs or more in six of those seven starts.  He has allowed 23 earned runs and 6 homers in 38 innings in those seven starts for a 5.45 ERA during this stretch.  He allowed 4 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings in his last start, which came against the Dodgers on June 28th and gives them the advantage getting to see him for the 2nd time in less than a week.

Shohei Ohtani has really regressed in his last three starts allowing 11 runs, 10 earned, in 18 2/3 innings.  Ohtani is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in three career starts against the Padres, allowing 6 earned runs and 18 base runners in 11 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* AL Friday Total DOMINATOR on Rays/Astros OVER 8.5

The Tampa Bay Rays are red hot at the plate during their current 8-game winning streak.  They have scored 4 runs or more in nine consecutive games, and 5 or more in seven of them.  They will stay hot at the plate against a Houston Astros team allowing 5.0 runs per game this season.

The Rays should tee off on Spencer Arrighetti, who has a 9.00 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 25 earned runs and 7 homers in 25 innings.  He has allowed 14 earned runs and 6 homers in 9 innings in his last two starts coming in.

Nick Martinez is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball heading into the All-Star Break. Martinez has a 2.66 ERA despite just 58 K's in 94 2/3 innings as a contact pitcher.  He is 1-3 with a 4.41 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in six career road starts against the Astros, allowing 16 earned runs, 6 homers and 48 base runners in 32 2/3 innings.

The Astros have a potent offense when they are as healthy as they are right now.  They are 4-0-1 OVER in their last five games overall going for 9 or more combined runs in all five games.  They have scored a total of 28 runs in those five games.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* NL Friday Total DOMINATOR on Pirates/Nationals OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between two of the most underrated offenses in baseball.  Temps will be in the 90's and approaching 100 at game time.  The Pirates are scoring 5.1 runs per game and allowing 4.9 runs per game this season.  They are 51-35-2 OVER in all games this season.

The Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team going 51-34-3 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  The Nationals have a 4.93 ERA as a bullpen and a 5.62 ERA at home.

20* NL TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Padres/Dodgers OVER 9

The Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.3 runs per game.  The Padres have a taxed bullpen off five consecutive losses including going for 26 combined runs with the Cubs yesterday and 16 the day before, giving up 32 of those runs to the Cubs in two games.  They also recently allowed 15 runs to the Dodgers to start this 5-game skid.

Randy Vasquez is 6-6 with a 4.44 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 15 starts for the Padres this season.  He has really struggled of late with a 7.04 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 18 earned runs and 6 homers in 23 innings.  Vasquez has allowed 6 earned runs and 3 homers in 9 1/3 innings in his last two starts against the Dodgers.

Roki Sasaki has struggled all season going 3-5 with a 4.88 ERA and 1.33 WHIP while allowing 39 earned runs and 14 homers in 72 innings.  Sasaki has allowed 13 earned runs and 4 homers in 14 innings in his last three starts.  One of those starts came against the Padres when he allowed 3 earned runs and 8 base runners in 4 innings on June 26th.  The Padres will have the advantage getting to see him again less than a week later.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

25* MLB Pre-All Star Break TOTAL OF THE YEAR on Dodgers/A's OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Dodgers and A's tonight at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center.  It was a similar forecast the past two days when these teams combined for 13 runs in Game 1 and 12 runs in Game 2.  It will be more of the same in Game 3 tonight.

The Dodgers have decided to skip Shohei Ohtani's start and push him back to Friday.  With that news I'd play this total up to 10.  But I got in early at 9, and this is a tremendous number knowing the Dodgers are going to make this a bullpen game starting with Charlie Barnes, who has a 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP this season.

Like all of these A's starters, J.T. Ginn has struggled much more at Sutter Health Park at home than he has on the road.  Ginn has posted a 4.29 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in nine home games this season allowing 20 earned runs and 68 base runners in 42 innings with just 29 K's.

This is a dead nuts OVER head-to-head series.  Indeed, the OVER is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings between the Dodgers and A's with 10 or more combined runs in 10 of those 11 meetings.  This total of 9 is too short tonight.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

20* AL TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Twins/Astros OVER 8

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 55-31-1 OVER in all games this season.  That includes 23-9-1 OVER in their last 33 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in 22 of their last 30 games, and 10 or more in 20 of those.  They Twins are scoring 4.8 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game this season.

The Astros have a potent offense when they are as healthy as they are right now.  They are scoring 4.5 runs per game and allowing 5.0 runs per game.  They have gone 46-39-3 OVER in all games this season.

Taj Bradley is 6-3 with a 3.98 ERA in 15 starts this season, including 5-2 with a 4.30 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in nine road starts.  Bradley is 2-3 with a 5.61 ERA in five career starts against Houston, allowing 16 earned runs and 6 homers in 25 2/3 innings.  He is backed by a terrible Minnesota bullpen with a 5.50 ERA this season.

Tatsuya Imai is 5-3 with a 5.36 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 11 starts this season, including 2-2 with a 6.46 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in five home starts.  Imai allowed 3 earned runs and 2 homers in 4 2/3 innings of a 6-3 loss to the Twins in his lone career start against them on May 18th.  He is backed by a mediocre Houston bullpen with a 4.43 ERA this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* MLB Wednesday Night Line Mistake on Rays/Royals OVER 10

The forecast will aid us in cashing in this OVER 10 ticket between the Rays and Royals at hitter-friendly Kauffman Stadium tonight.  Temps will be in the 90's with 15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center at game time.  It was a similar forecast yesterday when these teams combined for 14 runs in Game 1.  The OVER is 3-1 in the last four meetings with 14 or more combined runs in three of them.

Both offenses will get to see these two starters for the 2nd time in a week.  That will be a big advantage for the offenses knowing what they can expect, especially after having so much success against them last week.

Shane McClanahan allowed 6 runs, 2 earned, and 3 homers in 6 innings of a 12-5 loss to the Royals on June 23rd.  Seth Lugo was even worse, allowing 7 earned runs and 3 homers in 5 innings of a 13-2 loss to the Rays on June 25th.  Both starters will get rocked again today given the forecast.  The Rays have a 4.85 ERA as a bullpen on the road while the Royals have a 5.43 ERA as a bullpen this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* MLB Wednesday Early ANNIHILATOR on Nationals/Red Sox OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the Nationals and Red Sox this afternoon.  Temps will be in the 90's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center at Fenway Park.

The Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team going 50-34-3 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game this season.  The Red Sox are heating up at the plate scoring 4 runs or more in seven of their last eight games, including 5 runs or more in six of them.

Andrew Alvarez has solid numbers this season, but he hasn't pitched 5 innings in any start this year.  That is going to put a ton of pressure on this bad Washington bullpen, which is one of the worst in baseball with a 4.97 ERA this season.

Payton Tolle is 4-5 with a 3.03 ERA in 12 starts this season.  He is backed by a tired Boston bullpen that has closed out a ton of close games recently and will be playing for a 16th consecutive day.  That bullpen gave up 7 runs to the Nationals yesterday alone.  

The OVER is 4-1 in the last five meetings between the Red Sox and Nationals with 9 or more combined runs in all five, and 10 or more in three of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* AL PLAY OF THE DAY on Twins/Astros OVER 8

Michael Burrows is 3-8 with a 5.48 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 16 starts this season, including 1-4 with a 7.05 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in eight home starts.  He is 0-2 with a 12.28 ERA in two career starts against the Twins, allowing 10 earned runs and 3 homers in 7 1/3 innings.  He is backed by a mediocre Houston bullpen with a 4.43 ERA this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

20* Interleague TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Nationals/Red Sox OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Nationals and Red Sox tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center.

The Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team going 50-33-3 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game this season.  The Red Sox are heating up at the plate scoring 4 runs or more in seven consecutive games, including 5 runs or more in six of them.

Connelly Early is 3-4 with a 4.57 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in eight home starts this season while allowing 22 earned runs and 7 homers in 43 1/3 innings.  He is backed by a tired Boston bullpen that has closed out a ton of close games recently and will be playing for a 15th consecutive day.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Pirates/Phillies OVER 8.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8.5 ticket between the Pirates and Phillies tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center.  The Pirates have a potent offense scoring 5.2 runs per game this season.

The Phillies are hot right now scoring 4 runs or more in 11 of their last 14 games overall, including 10 runs or more three times.  They are averaging 6.4 runs per game in their last 14 games.  With both offenses thriving right now, this should be a slug fest.

The Phillies should crush Bubba Chandler, who is 3-7 with a 4.42 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 16 starts this season.  Chandler allowed 5 runs, 4 earned, in 3 innings on May 16th earlier this season in his lone career start against Philadelphia.

No question Cristopher Sanchez has been one of the best starters in baseball this season.  But he has regressed of late allowing 5 earned runs in 5 innings to the Nationals in his last start on June 25th, and 4 runs in 5 2/3 innings to the Brewers on June 14th.  He has allowed at least one homer in four consecutive starts.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

20* NL West GAME OF THE MONTH on Arizona Diamondbacks -128

The Arizona Diamondbacks return home highly motivated for a victory after getting swept by the Rays in Tampa Bay over the weekend.  I like their chances of getting back on track thanks to their big advantage on the mound.

Eduardo Rodriquez is 6-2 with a 2.27 ERA in 16 starts for the Diamondbacks this season, including 4-1 with a 1.84 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in eight home starts.  Rodriquez allowed 2 earned runs in 6 innings with 6 K's in a 7-5 win over the Giants on May 26th in his lone start against them this season.

Tyler Mahle has been an absolute gas can this season.  He is 1-7 with a 5.49 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 12 starts this season, including 0-4 with a 8.88 ERA and 1.89 WHIP in five road starts while allowing 24 earned runs in 24 1/3 innings.  Mahle has a 8.10 ERA in two starts against the Diamondbacks in 2026 alone allowing 9 earned runs and 2 homers in 10 innings.

The Diamondbacks have owned the Giants going 9-1 in the last 10 meetings and 6-0 in the last six meetings.  Bet the Diamondbacks Monday.

15* AL PLAY OF THE DAY on Twins/Astros OVER 9

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 53-31-1 OVER in all games this season.  That includes 21-9-1 OVER in their last 30 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in 20 of their last 28 games, and 10 or more in 19 of those.  They Twins are scoring 4.9 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game this season.

The Astros have a potent offense when they are as healthy as they are right now.  They are scoring 4.5 runs per game and allowing 5.0 runs per game.  They have gone 44-39-3 OVER in all games this season.

Zebby Matthews is 9-15 with a 5.52 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 33 career starts.  He is 3-5 with a 4.56 ERA in eight starts this season, including 1-3 with a 7.33 ERA in four road starts.  He has allowed 19 earned runs in 23 1/3 innings on the highway this season.

Peter Lambert is 6-4 with a 3.28 ERA in 12 starts this season, including 4-3 with a 3.40 ERA in seven home starts.  Both teams have poor bullpens with Minnesota a 5.45 ERA on the season and Houston a 4.44 ERA on the season.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on Nationals/Red Sox OVER 8.5

The Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team going 49-33-3 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game this season.  This total of 8.5 is too short for a game involving the Nationals.

The Boston Red Sox are heating up at the plate scoring 4 runs or more in six consecutive games, including 5 runs or more in five of them.  No question they stay hot against one of the worst starters in baseball tonight.

Miles Mikolas is 2-6 with a 5.00 ERA allowing 43 earned runs and 16 homers in 77 1/3 innings.  Mikolas allowed 8 earned runs and 11 hits in 2 2/3 innings of a 18-7 loss to the Red Sox in his last start against them last season.  He is backed by a bad Washington bullpen with a 5.00 ERA this season.

Ranger Suarez is 0-2 with a 3.75 ERA in seven starts at Fenway Park this season.  Suarez has allowed 6 earned runs in 9 innings in his last two starts against Washington.  The OVER is 5-1 in Suarez's last six starts overall.  The Red Sox have a depleted bullpen right now after going extra innings with the Yankees last night and sweeping them in four games with high leverage situations in all four for their bullpen.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

20* MLB Monday Total DOMINATOR on Pirates/Phillies OVER 8.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8.5 ticket between the Pirates and Phillies tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with light winds blowing out to left.  The Pirates have a potent offense scoring 5.1 runs per game this season.

The Phillies are hot right now scoring 4 runs or more in 10 of their last 13 games overall, including 10 runs or more three times.  They are averaging 6.4 runs per game in their last 13 games.  With both offenses thriving right now, this should be a slug fest.

Aaron Nola is one of the most overrated starters in baseball.  Nola is 3-4 with a 5.58 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 16 starts this season allowing 50 earned runs and 17 homers in 80 2/3 innings.  He is 0-1 with a 5.82 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in seven home starts.  Nola has allowed 10 earned runs in 8 2/3 innings in his last two starts against Pittsburgh.

No question Braxton Ashcraft is having a great season for the Pirates are 7-3 with a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 16 starts.  However, one of his worst starts of the season came against the Phillies on May 15th when he allowed 4 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings of a 11-9 loss that saw 20 combined runs.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

15* Dodgers/Padres NL West ANNIHILATOR on OVER 8

Two right-handed starters up against two stacked lefty lineups will be in trouble today with 10 MPH winds blowing out to right field in San Diego today.  After combining for 8 runs in Game 1, the Padres and Dodgers went for 18 combined runs in Game 2 yesterday.  It should be another slug fest in Game 3 today, and this total of 8 is too short as a result.

Emmet Sheehan is 3-5 with a 5.32 ERA in 14 starts for the Dodgers this season.  He is 1-3 with a 5.58 ERA in six road starts, allowing 19 earned runs and 8 homers in 30 2/3 innings.  Sheehan allowed 6 earned runs and 2 homers in 3 1/3 innings of a 12-1 home loss to the Orioles in his last start.  He allowed 4 earned runs and 2 homers in 4 innings in his lone start against the Padres this season.

Michael King has been solid at 5-6 with a 3.33 ERA in 16 starts for the Padres this season.  But he has regressed allowing 3 earned runs or more in five of his last six starts overall.  The Dodgers can get to anyone, and they are clearly coming in feeling good after scoring 15 runs on the Padres yesterday.  They are scoring 5.3 runs per game this season as one of the top offenses in baseball.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* A's/Angels AL West ANNIHILATOR on OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the A's and Angels today.  Temps will be in the 70's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center in Los Angeles this afternoon.

The A's and their opponents have gone for 9 or more combined runs in 19 of their last 28 games overall.  They are scoring 4.7 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game this season.  The Angels have scored at least 5 runs in six of their last eight games overall.  Both offenses will have their way with these starting pitchers and bullpens today.

Aaron Civale is 5-4 with a 4.88 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 13 starts this season allowing 34 earned runs and 13 homers in 62 2/3 innings.  Civale has posted a 5.01 ERA in six career starts against the Angels, allowing 18 earned runs and 8 homers in 32 1/3 innings.  He is backed by a terrible A's bullpen with a 5.00 ERA this season.

Rookie Samuel Aldegheri has struggled in his first season, going 2-3 with a 5.47 ERA and 1.50 WHIP while allowing 15 earned runs and 4 homers in 24 2/3 innings.  He is backed by a poor Angels bullpen as well with a 4.44 ERA on the season.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* MLB Sunday Total DOMINATOR on Cubs/Brewers OVER 8

Two of the best offenses in the National League square off Sunday in Game 3 of this series.  The Brewers are scoring 5.2 runs per game while the Cubs are scoring 4.9 runs per game this season.  The OVER is 2-0 in the first two games of this series with 8 and 10 combined runs, and this is the worst starting pitching matchup yet in Game 3 tonight, so this total of 8 is too short.

Ryan Rolison will be making just his 2nd start of the season as the Cubs make this a bullpen game.  Brandon Woodruff will be making just his 2nd start back from injury after having shoulder problems.  The oft-injured starter has lost his fastball and will be on a pitch count today.  Both bullpens will get a ton of work, and both offenses will have the advantage.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on Rockies/Twins OVER 9

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 53-30-1 OVER in all games this season.  That includes 21-8-1 OVER in their last 30 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in 20 of their last 27 games, and 10 or more in 19 of those.  The Rockies and their opponents have combined for 9 runs or more in 19 of their last 26 games.

After going for 17 combined runs and 25 hits in Game 1 Friday, the Rockies and Twins combined for 13 runs and 22 hits in Game 2 Saturday.  It should be more of the same in Game 3 today with this total of 9 clearly set too low.

Ryan Feltner is 0-1 with a 6.17 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in three road starts this season.  He allowed 5 earned runs and 9 base runners in 4 innings in his lone career start against Minnesota.  Feltner is backed by a terrible Colorado bullpen with a 5.02 ERA this season.

Conor Prielipp is 2-5 with a 5.17 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 11 starts this season for the Twins while allowing 40 runs, 32 earned, in 55 2/3 innings.  He is backed by an even worse Minnesota bullpen with a 5.51 ERA on the season and a 5.64 ERA at home.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* Phillies/Mets NL East ANNIHILATOR on OVER 8

The OVER is 5-3 in the last eight meetings between the Phillies and Mets with 8 or more combined runs in seven of those eight meetings.  This total of 8 is too short tonight given the poor quality of both starting pitchers, and the resurgence of both offenses recently.  The Phillies have scored at least 4 runs in nine of their last 12 games.  The Mets have scored at least 3 runs in nine of their last 11 games.

Injuries to this Mets' rotation will force Cionel Perez to make his first start of the season in what will clearly be a bullpen game for them.  Perez has a 4.99 ERA and 1.37 WHIP this season, including a 5.29 ERA and 1.47 WHIP at home.  He has a 9.35 ERA in eight career appearances against the Phillies out of the bullpen.

Jesus Luzardo is 6-4 with a 4.48 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 16 starts for the Phillies this season.  He has allowed 8 earned runs in 12 innings for a 6.00 ERA in his last two starts against the Mets.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

20* AL TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Rangers/Blue Jays OVER 8.5

The OVER is 6-0 in the last six meetings between the Rangers and BlueJays with 9 or more combined runs in all six and 11 or more combined runs in five of them.  The first three games in this series all went OVER the total, and it should be more of the same in Game 4 today given the struggles of these two starting pitchers.

Shane Bieber will be making his second start of 2026 for the Toronto Blue Jays as he returns from injury.  He struggled in the minors allowing 13 earned runs, 4 homers and 32 base runners in 17 innings for a 6.88 ERA across five minor league starts.  He was blasted for 4 earned runs, 9 hits and 3 homers in 3 2/3 innings of a 9-7 loss to the Astros in his first start this season.

Kumar Rocker is 2-6 with a 4.14 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 13 starts and two relief appearances this season.  Rocker is 1-1 with a 4.34 ERA on the road, and 0-4 with a 5.65 ERA in eight starts against American League opponents this season.  He allowed 6 earned runs and 2 homers in 3 1/3 innings in his last start against Minnesota.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

20* MLB BLOWOUT GAME OF THE MONTH on Pittsburgh Pirates -130

The Pittsburgh Pirates will be highly motivated for a victory Sunday to avoid the sweep after dropping the first two games of this series to the Cincinnati Reds.  I like their chances of getting the job done today thanks to their massive advantage on the mound.

Brady Singer is 0-4 with a 6.32 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in eight road starts this season allowing 26 earned runs and 8 homers in 37 innings.  Singer is 2-5 with a 6.82 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in seven career starts against the Pirates.  He is 0-4 with a 7.41 ERA and 2.24 WHIP in four career road starts in Pittsburgh, allowing 14 earned runs and 38 base runners in 17 innings.

Mitch Keller is 1-1 with a 1.40 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in his last four home starts against the Reds.  He has allowed just 4 earned runs without a homer in 25 2/3 innings in those four home starts.  Keller has held the Reds to 4 earned runs in 18 2/3 innings in his last three starts against them since last season.  Bet the Pirates Sunday.

20* AL TOTAL OF THE WEEK on A's/Angels OVER 8.5

The A's and their opponents have gone for 9 or more combined runs in 19 of their last 27 games overall.  The Angels have scored at least 5 runs in five of their last seven games overall.  Both offenses will have their way with these starting pitchers and bullpens again tonight after combining for 12 runs in Game 1 yesterday.

Jack Perkins is 2-3 with a 6.26 ERA this season while allowing 32 earned runs in 46 innings.  Perkins has a 6.30 ERA in two career starts against the Angels while allowing 7 earned runs and 2 homers in 10 innings.  He is backed by a A's bullpen with a 4.96 ERA this season.

Reid Detmers is 3-5 with a 4.02 ERA in 16 starts this season, including 0-3 with a 4.50 ERA in seven home starts.  But what really stands out is how much he struggles against the A's.  Detmers is 0-2 with a 10.69 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in three career starts against the A's, allowing a whopping 19 earned runs in 16 innings.  He is backed by a Angels bullpen with a 4.49 ERA this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Braves/Giants OVER 7.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 7.5 ticket between the Braves and Giants tonight.  There will be 15-20 MPH winds blowing out to center in San Francisco.  The Braves have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 4.9 runs per game.  The Giants are at 4.1 runs per game this season.

Regression has really hit Bryce Elder hard in recent starts.  He has a 8.31 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 24 earned runs and 5 homers in 26 innings.  He has allowed 14 earned runs in 10 innings in his last two starts.  Elder allowed 3 earned runs and 11 base runners in 5 innings of a 9-5 loss to the Braves in his last start against them.

Logan Webb has actually been worse at home this season than on the road.  Webb is 1-3 with a 3.92 ERA in six home starts this season allowing 17 earned runs in 39 innings.  He is backed by a suspect Giants bullpen with a 4.33 ERA this season.

The Braves and Giants have combined for 9 or more runs in five of their last six meetings in this head-to-head series.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on Diamondbacks/Rays OVER 8

This total of 8 is too short tonight considering both the Diamondbacks and Rays will be using their bullpens heavily in this one.  Jose Cabrera will be making just his 2nd career start for the Diamondbacks.  This Arizona bullpen has a 4.39 ERA on the season.

The Rays will use an opener in Cole Sulser, who has a 5.12 ERA and 1.55 WHIP this season while allowing 18 earned runs in 31 2/3 innings.  This Tampa Bay bullpen has struggled with a 4.46 ERA this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* MLB Friday Late-Night BAILOUT on Braves/Giants OVER 7.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 7.5 ticket between the Braves and Giants tonight.  There will be 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to center in San Francisco.  The Braves have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 4.9 runs per game.  The Giants are at 4.1 runs per game this season.

Reynaldo Lopez is 3-1 with a 3.50 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in five starts and 13 relief appearances this season for the Braves.  He has been at his worst on the road with a 3.57 ERA and 1.64 WHIP while allowing 7 earned runs, 4 homers and 29 base runners in 17 2/3 innings away from home.  Lopez has a 5.40 ERA and 2.04 WHIP in two career starts against San Francisco, allowing 5 earned runs, 2 homers and 17 base runners in 8 1/3 innings.

Trevor McDonald is 2-5 with a 4.93 ERA in nine starts this season, including 1-3 with a 6.10 ERA in four home starts while allowing 14 earned runs in 20 2/3 innings.  He has allowed 7 earned runs and 15 base runners in 6 2/3 innings in his last two starts coming in.  

The Braves and Giants have combined for 9 or more runs in each of their last five meetings in this head-to-head series.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* Dodgers/Padres NL West ANNIHILATOR on OVER 7.5

The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the most potent offenses in baseball scoring 5.2 runs per game this season.  The San Diego Padres have been swinging the bats as well as they have all season here of late scoring 5 runs or more in five of their last seven games.  This total of 7.5 is too short for these two offenses up against these two suspect starting pitchers.

Roki Sasaki is 3-4 with a 4.76 ERA in 13 starts this season.  He is 2-2 with a 6.19 ERA in six road starts, allowing 22 earned runs in 32 innings away from home.  Sasaki has allowed 10 earned runs and 3 homers in 10 innings in his last two starts coming in.

Walker Buehler hasn't been the same since leaving the Dodgers.  He is 4-3 with a 3.96 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 15 starts this season.  His stuff has really fallen off due to several injuries, and the Dodgers will know what to expect from him having been his former teammate.  Buehler allowed 3 earned runs and 9 base runners in 4 2/3 innings in his only previous action against Los Angeles.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* Interleague GAME OF THE WEEK on Tampa Bay Rays -135

The Tampa Bay Rays have a massive advantage on the mound tonight over the Arizona Diamondbacks and they should be bigger favorites as a result.

Nick Martinez is 6-2 with a 2.73 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 15 starts fort he Rays this season while allowing just 8 homers and 17 walks in 89 innings.  He is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two career starts against Arizona, allowing just 2 earned runs in 12 innings.

Zac Gallen has been a dumpster fire this season going 3-6 with a 6.44 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 16 starts.  He has been at his worst on the road, going 0-3 with a 7.68 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in eight starts away from home.  Gallen has allowed 33 earned runs and 9 homers in 38 2/3 innings on the road. He is 1-1 with a 6.55 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in two career starts against Tampa Bay while allowing 8 earned runs and 14 hits in 11 innings with just 7 K's.  Bet the Rays Friday.

15* MLB Friday Night Line Mistake on Diamondbacks/Rays OVER 8.5

Zac Gallen has been a dumpster fire this season going 3-6 with a 6.44 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 16 starts.  He has been at his worst on the road, going 0-3 with a 7.68 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in eight starts away from home.  Gallen has allowed 33 earned runs and 9 homers in 38 2/3 innings on the road. He is 1-1 with a 6.55 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in two career starts against Tampa Bay while allowing 8 earned runs and 14 hits in 11 innings with just 7 K's.

The Rays are capable of covering this total on their own against Gallen and this Arizona bullpen.  They just scored 13 runs on the Royals yesterday and should come in with a ton of confidence at the plate.  Arizona has scored 8 runs or more in four of its last seven games overall so should contribute to this total as well.

While I like Martinez over Gallen today, there's no question Martinez is due some regression this season with his lack of strikeout ability.  His 2.73 ERA is unsustainable with just 55 K's in 89 innings thus far, so Arizona will do enough to contribute to this total.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* MLB Friday Total DOMINATOR on Nationals/Orioles OVER 9

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 48-31-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The Baltimore Orioles are 47-32-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.7 runs per game and allowing 5.0 runs per game.

Trevor Rogers has been an absolute gas can for the Orioles this season.  He is 4-7 with a 5.30 ERA in 14 starts, including 2-5 with a 5.52 ERA in nine home starts.  He allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings of a 9-3 loss to the Nationals in his last start against them.  Rogers is backed by a poor Baltimore bullpen with a 4.51 ERA this season.

Andrew Alvarez will be making just his 5th start of the season for the Nationals.  He hasn't made it out of the 5th inning in any of his four starts thus far, which puts a ton of pressure on a terrible, tired Washington bullpen.  The Nationals have a 5.02 ERA as a bullpen this season.

The OVER is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings between the Nationals and Orioles with 10 or more combined runs in four of those five meetings.  This total of 9 is too short tonight.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Cubs/Mets OVER 8.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8.5 ticket between the Cubs and Mets tonight.  Temps will be in the 70's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center.  The OVER is 3-0 in the first three games of this series with 15, 13 and 15 combined runs, and it should be another slug fest in Game 4 tonight.

Matthew Boyd will be making his first start since May 3rd and will be on a pitch count.  He is 2-1 with a 6.00 ERA in five starts this season allowing 16 earned runs in 24 innings.  He is backed by a taxed Chicago bullpen after playing a double-header yesterday.

Freddy Peralta is one of the most overrated starters in baseball going 5-6 with a 4.62 ERA in 16 starts this season.  He was shelled for 10 earned runs in 2 2/3 innings by the Phillies in his last start and 6 earned runs in 6 innings by the Cardinals three starts ago.  He is backed by an even more taxed New York bullpen that has is also coming off a double-header.

The Cubs are red hot at the plate scoring 29 runs in the first three games of this series, and 6 runs or more in six consecutive games.  The Mets have scored at least 5 runs in seven of their last 13 games.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

15* MLB Thursday Total DOMINATOR on Phillies/Nationals OVER 8.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8.5 ticket between the Phillies and Nationals tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to center.  The Phillies and Nationals have combined for at least 9 runs in seven of their last 10 meetings.

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 47-31-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  The Phillies are hot at the plate scoring 4 runs or more in eight of their last nine games overall and have gone for 10 or more combined runs in five of their last eight.  They have scored a total of 41 runs in their last five games.

Cristopher Sanchez has allowed 5 earned runs, 3 homers and 15 base runners in 11 2/3 innings in his last two starts.  Cade Cavalli has allowed 9 earned runs and 3 homers in 12 2/3 innings in his last three starts.  He is 4-4 with a 4.07 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 16 starts this season.  The Nationals have a 4.88 ERA as a bullpen and a 5.35 ERA at home.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

20* Interleague TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Dodgers/Twins OVER 7.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 7.5 ticket between the Dodgers and Twins tonight.  Temps will be in the 70's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to right-center in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 51-29-1 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.8 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  They have gone 19-7-1 OVER in their last 27 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 18 of their last 24 games, and 10 or more in 17 of them.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.2 runs per game this season.  They have been much more potent offensively on the road this season, too.  And their games have been higher scoring on the road on average than at home.  They beat the Twins 12-3 yesterday for 15 combined runs.

Shohei Ohtani is finally starting to regress allowing 7 earned runs in 12 2/3 innings in his last two starts.  Joe Ryan was scratched from his last start due to illness and may not be 100%.  He has allowed 8 earned runs and 4 homers in 23 innings in his last four starts.  Ryan allowed 5 earned runs and 9 hits in 5 innings in his lone career start against Los Angeles.  He is backed by a terrible Minnesota bullpen with a 5.35 ERA this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* NL Wednesday Total DOMINATOR on Brewers/Reds OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Brewers and Reds tonight at hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark.  Temps will be in the 70's with light winds blowing out.  I also like the fact that Elly De La Cruz is back healthy for the Reds, who are much more potent with him in the lineup.  And the Brewers have been potent all season scoring 5.2 runs per game.

Shane Drohan is 2-1 with a 4.30 ERA and 1.30 WHIP on the road this season allowing 7 earned runs and 19 base runners in 14 2/3 innings.  He isn't going to go very deep in this game, which will expose this Milwaukee bullpen.  He hasn't surpassed 5 innings in four of his five starts this season.

Rhett Lowder is a gas can for the Reds going 3-4 with a 4.82 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 11 starts while allowing 28 earned runs and 76 base runners in 52 1/3 innings.  He is backed by a poor Cincinnati bullpen with a 4.77 ERA and 1.51 WHIP this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* AL Wednesday Total DOMINATOR on Astros/Blue Jays OVER 8.5

The Astros and Blue Jays combined for 16 runs and 28 hits in extra innings last night.  Both of their bullpens are depleted, and it should be another slug fest tonight between two offenses that are swinging the bats as well as they have all season right now largely due to being healthier than they have been all season.

The Blue Jays will certainly crush Michael Burrows, who is 3-8 with a 5.79 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 15 starts this season while allowing 51 earned runs and 18 homers in 79 1/3 innings.  Burrows is backed by a poor Houston bullpen with a 4.64 ERA on the season and a 4.88 ERA on the road.

Trey Yesavage has been a major disappointment for the Blue Jays.  He has a 6.07 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 20 earned runs and 5 homers in 29 2/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

20* NL East TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Phillies/Nationals OVER 9.5

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 47-30-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  The Phillies are hot at the plate scoring 4 runs or more in seven of their last eight games overall and have gone for 10 or more combined runs in five of their last seven.  They have scored a total of 36 runs in their last four games.

Aaron Nola is the most overrated starter in baseball.  He is 3-4 with a 5.71 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 15 starts this season while allowing 48 earned runs and 15 homers in 75 2/3 innings.  Nola has allowed a whopping 13 earned runs and 4 homers in 13 2/3 innings in his last three starts against the Nationals.

Miles Mikolas is one of the worst starters in baseball.  He is 2-6 with a 5.23 ERA and this season allowing 43 earned runs and 16 homers in 74 innings.  Mikolas has been at his worst at home with a 6.37 ERA while allowing 25 earned runs and 10 homers in 35 1/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

20* AL GAME OF THE MONTH on Tampa Bay Rays -143

The Tampa Bay Rays will be highly motivated for a victory tonight after dropping the first two games of this series to the Kansas City Royals.  They didn't use any of their top bullpen arms yesterday so will have all hands on deck for this one.

The Royals used four relievers last night and have a much more depleted, terrible bullpen.  They have a 4.88 ERA as a bullpen this season.  But the biggest reason I'm fading the Royals is the fact that they are without their best hitter in Bobby Witt and one of their best hitters in Maikel Garcia.  That's bad news for one of the worst offenses in baseball.

Griffin Jax is 2-5 with a 3.49 ERA in 10 starts and 11 relief appearances for the Rays this season.  He'll be opposed by Noah Cameron, who is 4-4 with a 4.20 ERA in 14 starts fro the Royals this season.  Bet the Rays Wednesday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on Dodgers/Twins OVER 8.5

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 50-29-1 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.9 runs per game and allowing 5.1 runs per game.  They have gone 18-7-1 OVER in their last 26 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 17 of their last 23 games, and 10 or more in 16 of them.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.2 runs per game this season.  They have been much more potent offensively on the road this season, too.  And their games have been higher scoring on the road on average than at home.

Justin Wrobleski is fortunate to have a 2.72 ERA this season when you consider he is a soft tosser with just 50 K's in 79 1/3 innings.  The red hot Twins should get to him today and force that regression that Wrobleski is undoubtably due for.

Kendry Rojas will be making just his 2nd start of the season for the Twins and won't last long as he has mostly been used in long relief.  Rojas was forced into action due to Joe Ryan being scratched with an illness.  He is backed by a terrible Minnesota bullpen with a 5.17 ERA this season.  This total of 8.5 is too short tonight.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

20* NL TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Cubs/Mets OVER 8

I trust both of these offenses to get to these two struggling starting pitchers tonight.  Kodai Senga is 0-5 with a 9.00 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in six starts for the mets this season allowing 24 earned runs, 7 homers and 45 base runners in 24 innings.  He will be on a pitch count again tonight after making his 2nd start back from injury.  He allowed 4 earned runs and 2 homers in 4 innings to the Reds in his last start.  He allowed 6 earned runs and 2 homers in 3 1/3 innings of a 12-4 loss to the Cubs in his last start against them.

Edward Cabrera is 4-4 with a 5.21 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 13 starts for the Cubs this season allowing 39 earned runs and 14 homers in 67 1/3 innings.  Cabrera is 3-2 with a 5.01 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 11 career starts against the Mets.  That includes 0-2 with a 7.90 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in four career starts at Citi Field, allowing 12 earned runs and 5 homers in 13 2/3 innings.

The Cubs are heating up at the plate scoring 5 runs or more in seven of their last nine games overall.  They have scored a total of 30 runs in their last three games.  The Mets are 6-2-3 OVER in their last 11 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in eight of those 11 games.  The OVER is 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings with 9 or more combined runs in six of them.  This total of 8 is too short tonight.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* Brewers/Reds NL Central ANNIHILATOR on OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the Brewers and Reds tonight.  Temps will be in the 70's with light winds blowing out to center at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

The Brewers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.3 runs per game this season.  They get to face one of the worst starters in baseball in Nick Lodolo, who is 2-2 with a 6.12 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in eight starts this season while allowing 29 earned runs and 8 homers in 42 2/3 innings.  The Reds have a 4.79 ERA as a bullpen as well.

Cincinnati has proven to have a deep, potent lineup as well.  The Reds have a great chance to get to Brandon Sproat, who is the weakest link in Milwaukee's rotation.  Sproat is 1-4 with a 5.94 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 12 starts and two relief appearances this season.  He has allowed 42 earned runs and 13 homers in 63 2/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

20* MLB Tuesday Total DOMINATOR on Phillies/Nationals OVER 8.5

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 46-30-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.1 runs per game.  The Phillies are hot at the plate scoring 4 runs or more in six of their last seven games overall and have gone for 10 or more combined runs in four of their last six.

Jesus Luzardo is one of the most overrated starters in baseball.  He is 6-4 with a 4.31 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 15 starts for the Phillies this season.  Luzardo does not enjoy facing the Nationals, going 2-4 with a 4.98 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in nine career starts against them.

Zack Littell will get the bulk of the innings for the Nationals tonight.  He has been one of the worst starters in baseball, going 6-6 with a 5.45 ERA in 15 games while allowing 50 earned runs and 20 homers in 71 innings.  He is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA while allowing 7 earned runs and 2 homers in 11 2/3 innings in his career against Philadelphia.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* MLB Tuesday Night Line Mistake on Mariners/Pirates OVER 8.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8.5 ticket between the Mariners and Pirates tonight.  Temps will be in the 70's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to right field.  The Pirates have one of the most improved offenses in baseball this season scoring 5.01 runs per game and allowing 4.8 runs per game, going 45-31-2 OVER in all games.

The Mariners have been a much more potent offense on the road this season.  Indeed, the Mariners are 10-3-1 OVER in their last 14 road games while going for 9 or more combined runs in 12 of those 14 games.  They have scored at least 3 runs in 12 of those 14 road games as well.  This total of 8.5 is too short tonight.

George Kirby comes in struggling with a 6.27 ERA in his last six starts while allowing 23 earned runs and 5 homers in 33 innings.  He is 2-1 with a 4.76 ERA in three career starts against Pittsburgh while allowing 9 earned runs and 5 homers in 17 innings.

Mitch Keller also comes in struggling allowing 19 earned runs in 18 innings in his last four starts for a 9.50 ERA.  He is 1-1 with a 6.55 ERA in two career starts against the Mariners, allowing 8 earned runs and 2 homers in 11 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* MLB Monday Night Line Mistake on Diamondbacks/Cardinals OVER 8.5

The Cardinals really profile as an OVER team scoring 4.7 runs per game and allowing 4.6 runs per game this season.  The Diamondbacks are allowing 4.6 runs per game as well with a terrible, depleted pitching staff.  The end result should be an OVER 8.5 tonight.

The DIamondbacks have scored at total of 27 runs in their last four games and are hot at the plate right now.  The Cardinals have scored 23 runs in their last three games, and they have scored at least 4 runs in 14 of their last 17 games, and 5 runs or more in 12 of their last 16 games.

Merrill Kelly is 5-6 with a 5.81 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 12 starts for the Diamondbacks this season allowing 45 earned runs and 15 homers in 69 2/3 innings.  Kelly has allowed 15 earned runs and 5 homers in 16 1/3 innings in his last three starts.  He has allowed 6 earned runs in 12 innings in his last two starts against St. Louis.

Andre Pallante is 3-4 with a 4.53 ERA in eight home starts this season allowing 22 earned runs in 43 2/3 innings.  Pallante allowed 6 runs, 5 earned, and 11 base runners in 4 2/3 innings in his lone career start against Arizona last season.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

20* Interleague TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Dodgers/Twins OVER 9.5

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 50-28-1 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.9 runs per game and allowing 5.1 runs per game.  They have gone 18-6-1 OVER in their last 25 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 17 of their last 22 games, and 10 or more in 16 of them.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.2 runs per game this season.  They have been much more potent offensively on the road this season, too.  And their games have been higher scoring on the road on average than at home.

Eric Lauer is 2-5 with a 5.37 ERA in 12 games this season allowing 35 earned runs and a whopping 16 homers in 58 2/3 innings.  Lauer has allowed 15 runs, 13 earned, and 6 homers in 10 innings in his last two starts against Minnesota, one of which came this season when he allowed 7 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings.

Zebby Matthews is 9-14 with a 5.61 ERA in 32 career starts in the big leagues.  That includes 3-4 with a 4.78 ERA in seven starts in 2026.  He has allowed 21 earned runs and 7 homers in 30 1/3 innings in his last five starts for a 6.23 ERA.  He is backed by a terrible Minnesota bullpen with a 5.22 ERA this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

15* MLB Monday Total DOMINATOR on Brewers/Reds OVER 8.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the Brewers and Reds tonight.  Temps will be int eh 70's with double-digit winds blowing out to right-center at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

The Brewers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.3 runs per game this season.  They get to face one of the worst starters in baseball in Brady Singer, who is 3-6 with a 5.32 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 14 starts this season.  Singer has allowed 39 earned runs and 17 homers in 66 innings.  He does not enjoy facing the Brewers, allowing 9 earned runs and 2 homers in 13 1/3 innings in his last three starts against them.  The Reds have a 4.81 ERA as a bullpen as well.

Cincinnati has proven to have a deep, potent lineup as well.  The Reds have a great chance to get to Brandon Woodruff, who will be making his return from the IL and his first start since April 30th and will clearly be on a pitch count.  Woodruff has lost his fastball due to all these injuries and continues to get too much respect from the books.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

15* Mets/Phillies MLB Sunday Night BAILOUT on OVER 8

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8 ticket between the Mets and Phillies tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to right-center in Philadelphia.  It has been a similar forecast for the first two games of this series which saw 10 and 18 combined runs.  In fact, the OVER is 5-0 in the last five meetings between the Mets and Phillies with 10 or more combined runs in all five.

The Phillies scored 15 runs yesterday and are capable of covering this total on their own against David Peterson, who is 3-5 with a 5.91 ERA and 1.63 WHIP this season allowing 42 earned runs in 64 innings.  Peterson has allowed 23 earned runs in 23 2/3 innings in his last five starts for a 8.75 ERA.  He has allowed 8 earned runs and 3 homers in 9 innings in his last two starts against Philadelphia.

The Mets are much healthier and hitting the ball much better as a result.  They should do enough against Zack Wheeler and this Philadelphia bullpen to contribute to this total if need be.  They have scored a total of 18 runs in their last three games coming in.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* AL PLAY OF THE DAY on Angels/A's OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Angels and A's today.  Temps will be approaching 90 with light winds blowing out to center at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park tonight.  The ball should be flying out for another A's home game.

The A's and their opponents have combined for at least 10 runs in 15 of their last 22 games overall.  The A's have scored at least 4 runs in 12 of their last 13 games while averaging 6.8 runs per game during this stretch.  The A's have a very tired bullpen after playing in so many high-scoring games of late and playing 19 of the last 20 days.  The A's have a 4.94 ERA as a bullpen including a 6.37 ERA at home.

The Angels will be playing for a 10th consecutive day as well.  Their bullpen hasn't been much better with a 4.67 ERA on the season.  So both teams should continue piling on the runs in the later innings.

Reid Detmers does not enjoy facing the A's going 0-2 with a 12.60 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in two career starts against them, allowing 14 earned runs in 10 innings.  Jack Perkins has been a gas can for the A's this season with a 6.15 ERA while allowing 28 earned runs in 41 innings.  Perkins allowed 3 earned runs in 5 innings in his lone career start against the Angels.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

20* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Twins/Diamondbacks OVER 9

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 50-27-1 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.9 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  They have gone 18-5-1 OVER in their last 24 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 17 of their last 21 games, and 10 or more in 16 of them.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are getting their bats going again scoring a total of 25 runs in their last three games coming in.  That includes their 9-5 win over the Twins in Game 1 of this series as they went for 13 hits.  These teams went for 24 combined runs in Game 2.  It should be another slug fest today given the poor quality of these two starting pitchers.

Michael Paredes will be making just his 3rd start of the season for the Twins.  Jose Cabrera will be making his MLB debut for the Diamondbacks, who are dealing with a ton of injuries to their rotation.  The Twins have one of the worst bullpens in baseball with a 5.30 ERA this season.  The Diamondbacks have a 4.53 ERA and a depleted bullpen right now.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

20* NL GAME OF THE WEEK on Pittsburgh Pirates -137

The Pittsburgh Pirates will be highly motivated for a victory today to avoid the sweep after dropping the first two games of this series to the Colorado Rockies.  They lost both games by a single run and stranded bases loaded in the 9th inning in both games.  They are extra pissed off heading into Game 3 and looking to take it out on the Rockies.

I like their chances of piling up a ton of runs against one of the worst starters in baseball in Michael Lorenzen.  He is 2-8 with a 7.13 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in 16 games this season allowing 56 earned runs in 70 2/3 innings.  Lorenzen is 1-3 with a 8.44 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in seven starts at Coors Field, allowing 30 earned runs in 32 innings.  Bet the Pirates Sunday.

15* MLB Sunday Total DOMINATOR on Nationals/Rays OVER 8

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 46-28-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  The OVER is 7-3 in their last 10 games overall with 8 or more combined runs in eight games, and 9 or more in seven of them.  This total of 8 is too short for a game involving the Nationals.

The Tampa Bay Rays are scoring 4.4 runs per game and allowing 4.3 runs per game this season.  Both teams have terrible bullpens.  The Nationals have a 4.67 ERA this season while the Rays have a 4.55 ERA.  Both bullpens are taxed after two close games to start this series and both were fortunate to stay under the total of 8 finishing with 7 combined runs in each and several opportunities squandered by both offenses.  As an example, these teams combined for 20 hits yesterday.

The Nationals will make this a bullpen game starting with Andrew Alvarez, who is 1-0 with a 3.49 ERA and 1.41 WHIP allowing 11 earned runs and 40 base runners in 28 1/3 innings.  Nick Martinez is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball with just 50 K's in 83 innings this season for the Rays.  Martinez has allowed 12 earned runs and 3 homers in 16 1/3 innings in his last three starts for a 6.61 ERA during this stretch.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* MLB Saturday Night Line Mistake on Orioles/Dodgers OVER 8

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8 ticket between the Orioles and Dodgers tonight.  Temps will be approaching 70 with double-digit winds blowing out to center.  It was a similar forecast last night when these teams combined fro 11 runs and 19 hits, and it will be more of the same tonight.

The Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.3 runs per game this season.  They have scored at least 4 runs in 10 of their last 12 games overall while going 9-3 OVER in those 12 games with 8 or more combined runs in 10 of them, and 9 or more combined runs in nine of them.  This total of 8 is too short for a game involving the Dodgers right now.

The Orioles are a dead nuts OVER team going 45-29-3 OVER in all games this season while scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 5.1 runs per game.  They have gone 13-6-1 OVER in their last 20 games overall finishing with 8 or more combined runs in 16 of those 20 games, and 9 or more in 15 of them.  This total of 8 is too short for a game involving the Orioles as well.

The Dodgers are capable of covering this total on their own against Trevor Rogers and this awful Baltimore bullpen.  Rogers is 3-7 with a 5.86 ERA in 13 starts this season allowing 43 earned runs in 66 innings with just 48 K's.  He is 1-2 with a 6.64 ERA in four road starts.  He is backed by a Baltimore bullpen with a 4.60 ERA on the season and a 5.55 ERA on the road.

No question Yoshinobu Yamamoto is one of the best starters in baseball, which is why this total has been set so short at 8 runs.  But he may be fatigued and in for a letdown after losing his no-hitter against the White Sox in the 9th inning last time out and throwing 109 pitches.  I think the Orioles have the lineup that can get to him today.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

20* MLB Saturday Late-Night BAILOUT on Twins/Diamondbacks OVER 9

The Minnesota Twins are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 49-27-1 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.8 runs per game and allowing 5.1 runs per game.  They have gone 17-5-1 OVER in their last 23 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 16 of their last 20 games, and 10 or more in 15 of them.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are getting their bats going again scoring a total of 17 runs on 24 hits in their last two games coming in.  That includes their 9-5 win over the Twins in Game 1 of this series as they went for 13 hits.  It should be another slug fest tonight given the poor quality of these two starting pitchers.

Taj Bradley is 5-3 with a 4.14 ERA in 13 starts this season, including 4-2 with a 4.39 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in eight road starts.  Bradley comes in really struggling allowing a whopping 17 earned runs and 6 homers in 19 2/3 innings in his last four starts.  He has allowed 10 earned runs and 5 homers in 10 innings in his last two starts against Arizona as well.  Bradley is backed by a terrible Minnesota bullpen with a 5.18 ERA this season.

Zac Gallen is 3-5 with a 5.71 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 15 starts for the Diamondbacks this season.  He comes in struggling as well allowing 16 earned runs and 6 homers in 21 1/3 innings in his last four starts.  

The OVER is 6-1 in the last seven meetings between Arizona and Minnesota with 9 or more combined runs in six of those seven, and 10 or more in five of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* AL PLAY OF THE DAY on Angels/A's OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the Angels and A's tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's at game time with double-digit winds blowing out to center at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park tonight.  The ball should be flying out for another A's home game.

The A's and their opponents have combined for at least 10 runs in 15 of their last 21 games overall.  The A's have scored at least 4 runs in 12 consecutive games averaging 7.4 runs per game during this stretch.  The A's have a very tired bullpen after playing in so many high-scoring games of late and playing 18 of the last 19 days.  The A's have a 4.91 ERA as a bullpen including a 6.35 ERA at home.

Both teams have tired bullpens after the A's came back to win 12-11 in extra innings last night.  The Angels will be playing for a 9th consecutive day as well.  Their bullpen hasn't been much better with a 4.74 ERA on the season and a 4.86 ERA on the road.  So both teams should continue piling on the runs in the later innings.

That's why I'm not concerned about these two starting pitchers having decent numbers.  Walbert Urena is a major regression candidate and hasn't been very good on the road.  He is 0-4 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.71 WHIP on the road this season allowing 17 runs, 10 earned, and 40 base runners in 23 1/3 innings.  JT Ginn is 4-1 with a 3.93 ERA and 1.58 WHIP at home, allowing 16 earned runs and 58 base runners in 36 2/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

20* MLB Saturday Total DOMINATOR on Nationals/Rays OVER 8

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 46-27-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  The OVER is 7-2 in their last nine games overall with 8 or more combined runs in eight games, and 9 or more in seven of them.  This total of 8 is too short for a game involving the Nationals.

The Tampa Bay Rays are scoring 4.4 runs per game and allowing 4.3 runs per game this season.  Both teams have terrible bullpens.  The Nationals have a 4.73 ERA this season while the Rays have a 4.58 ERA.  The Rays will make this a bullpen game starting with Ian Seymour, who has a 4.93 ERA this season.

Cade Cavalli is 4-4 with a 3.98 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 15 starts for the Nationals this season.  He has been at his worst on the road, going 2-2 with a 4.28 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in seven starts away from home.  Both teams will get their bat going in Game 2 today.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* AL PLAY OF THE DAY on Angels/A's OVER 10

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 10 ticket between the Angels and A's tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's at game time with double-digit winds blowing out to center at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park tonight.  The ball should be flying out again for an A's home game.

The A's and their opponents have combined for at least 10 runs in 14 of their last 20 games overall.  The A's have scored at least 4 runs in 11 consecutive games averaging 7.0 runs per game during this stretch.  The A's have a very tired bullpen after playing in so many high-scoring games of late and playing 17 of the last 18 days.  The A's have a 4.89 ERA as a bullpen including a 6.32 ERA at home.

Jose Soriano does not enjoy facing the A's.  He is 1-2 with a 6.81 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in seven career starts against them, allowing 26 earned runs in 34 1/3 innings.  He has allowed 15 earned runs and 4 homers in 14 2/3 innings in his last three starts against the A's.  Soriano is backed by a poor Angels bullpen as well with a 4.59 ERA on the season.

Jeffrey Springs has been an absolute gas can this season.  He is 3-7 with a 5.13 ERA in 15 starts while allowing 45 earned runs and 19 homers in 79 innings.  He has been even worse at home going 2-5 with a 5.76 ERA and 1.41 WHIP while allowing 12 homers in 45 1/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Pirates/Rockies OVER 11.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 11.5 ticket between the Pirates and Rockies tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's at the most hitter-friendly park in the majors.  The ball should be flying out of Coors Field tonight.

The Pirates have one of the most improved offenses in baseball scoring 5.1 runs per game.  The Pirates are 17-4 OVER in their last 21 games overall going for 11 or more combined runs in 14 of those 21 games.

The Rockies are 10-7-1 OVER in their last 18 games overall going for 10 or more combined runs in 14 of those 18 games, and 12 runs or more in 10 of them.  They have scored 5 runs or more in 11 of those 18 games.

Kyle Freeland has been one of the worst starters in baseball this season.  He is 1-7 with a 7.98 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 13 starts this season allowing 52 earned runs and 14 homers in 58 2/3 innings.  Freeland has allowed a whopping 14 earned runs and 4 homers in 14 2/3 innings in his last three starts against Pittsburgh.

Bubba Chandler is one of the more overrated starters in baseball.  He is 2-7 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 14 starts this season.  He has allowed 4 earned runs or more in three of his last five starts.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* Interleague TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Nationals/Rays OVER 8

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 46-26-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  The OVER is 7-1 in their last eight games overall with 8 or more combined runs in all eight games, and 9 or more in seven of them.  This total of 8 is too short for a game involving the Nationals.

The Tampa Bay Rays are scoring 4.4 runs per game and allowing 4.4 runs per game this season.  Both teams have terrible bullpens.  The Nationals have a 4.68 ERA this season while the Rays have a 4.64 ERA.

Cade Cavalli is 4-4 with a 3.98 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 15 starts for the Nationals this season.  He has been at his worst on the road, going 2-2 with a 4.28 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in seven starts away from home.

Griffin Jax has been at his worst at home this season for the Rays.  He has a 4.86 ERA in seven home games while allowing 9 earned runs and 5 homers in 16 2/3 innings.  Both starters are getting too much respect tonight with this total of 8 runs.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* MLB Thursday Late-Night BAILOUT on Angels/A's OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the Angels and A's tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's at game time with double-digit winds blowing out to center at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park tonight.  The ball should be flying out again for an A's home game.

The A's and their opponents have combined for at least 10 runs in 14 of their last 19 games overall.  The A's have scored at least 4 runs in 10 consecutive games averaging 7.2 runs per game during this stretch.  The A's have a very tired bullpen after playing six straight games in Las Vegas at another hitter-friendly park.  The A's have a 4.89 ERA as a bullpen including a 6.40 ERA at home.

Jose Soriano does not enjoy facing the A's.  He is 1-2 with a 6.81 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in seven career starts against them, allowing 26 earned runs in 34 1/3 innings.  He has allowed 15 earned runs and 4 homers in 14 2/3 innings in his last three starts against the A's.  Soriano is backed by a poor Angels bullpen as well with a 4.64 ERA on the season.

Gage Jump is a nice young prospect for the A's, but it's hard to show it when he has to pitch in a hitter-friendly park for half his starts.  He has a 6.30 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in two home starts this season, allowing 7 earned runs and 16 base runners in 10 innings.  He'll be facing an Angels lineup that has scored at least 3 runs in nine of their last 10 games overall.  

The OVER is 5-3 in the last eight meetings with 11 or more combined runs in five of those.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

20* AL TOTAL OF THE MONTH on White Sox/Yankees OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the White Sox and Yankees tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 20-25 MPH winds blowing out to straightaway center.  This forecast is one of the best I've seen for run production all season, and it's shocking they opened this total as low as 9 runs.

The Yankees have shown off their depth without Aaron Judge scoring 5 runs or more in seven of their last nine games overall.  That includes a total of 30 runs in their last three games combined, including 22 in the first two games of this series with the White Sox as they covered this total on their own in both games.

The White Sox are 6-2 OVER in their last eight games overall finishing with 10 or more combined runs in six of those eight games.  They have gone for 9 or more combined runs in eight of their last 10 games as well.  They have scored 5 runs or more in eight of those 10 games.

Sean Burke is 3-4 with a 4.15 ERA in 11 starts and three relief appearances for the White Sox this season.  He will get rocked by the Yankees tonight.  Ryan Weathers has posted a 6.44 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 21 earned runs and 9 homers in 29 1/3 innings.  He will continue to struggle tonight as well.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

20* NL East TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Mets/Phillies OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the Mets and Phillies tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10-20 MPH winds blowing out to right-center.  That's bad news for these two overrated starting pitchers up against these two surging lineups.

Sean Manaea is 1-2 with a 4.78 ERA and 1.35 WHIP this season allowing 26 earned runs in 49 innings.  Manaea has posted a 4.59 ERA in his last six starts against Philadelphia.  He'll be up against a Phillies lineup that has scored at least 5 runs in eight of their last 13 games overall.

Aaron Nola is 3-4 with a 5.86 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 14 starts this season, including 0-1 with a 6.21 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in six home starts.  He is 1-1 with a 5.23 ERA in his last two home starts against New York.  The Mets have scored at least 5 runs in seven of their last 13 games overall.

The OVER is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between the Mets and Phillies with 10 or more combined runs in seven of those.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

20* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Pirates/A's OVER 10

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 10 ticket between the Pirates and A's tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's at game time with double-digit winds blowing out to center at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park tonight.  The ball should be flying out again for an A's home game.

The Pirates have one of the most improved offenses in baseball scoring 5.0 runs per game.  The Pirates are 16-4 OVER in their last 20 games overall going for 11 or more combined runs in 13 of those 20 games.  The A's and their opponents have combined for at least 10 runs in 13 of their last 18 games overall.  The A's have scored at least 4 runs in nine consecutive games averaging 7.6 runs per game during this stretch.

The A's have a very tired bullpen after playing six straight games in Las Vegas at another hitter-friendly park.  The Pirates have a 4.44 ERA as a bullpen this season.  The A's have a 4.81 ERA as a bullpen including a 6.30 ERA at home.

Regression has hit Braxton Ashcraft hard in his last two starts allowing 8 earned runs in 10 innings.  Aaron Civale has been a dumpster fired all season going 5-2 with a 4.20 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 11 starts allowing 12 homers.  He is 2-2 with a 5.47 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in five home starts, allowing 15 earned runs and 6 homers in 24 2/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* MLB Wednesday Total DOMINATOR on Rays/Dodgers OVER 7

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 7 ticket between the Rays and Dodgers tonight.  Temps will be in the 70's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center.  The Dodgers are scoring 5.3 runs per game with one of the best offenses in baseball, and they are capable of covering this total on their own.

Shane McClanahan has allowed at least 4 earned runs in three of his last five starts.  That includes 8 earned runs and 19 base runners in 9 innings in his last two starts.  I expect him to get rocked again tonight.

Shohei Ohtani has elite numbers this season but he cannot keep this pace up.  He regressed in his last start allowing 4 runs in a 9-8 loss to the Pirates that saw 17 combined runs.  

The Dodgers are 7-3 OVER in their last 10 games overall going for 10 or more combined runs in seven of those 10 games.  The total was 9.5 in Game 1 and 8.5 in Game 2.  Now the books have lowered this total down to 7 for Game 3, which is too big of an adjustment.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* MLB Wednesday Afternoon Line Mistake on Padres/Cardinals OVER 10

The forecast in St. Louis today is one of the most hitter-friendly forecasts I've seen all season.  Temps will be in the 90's with 20-25 MPH sustained winds blowing out to left-center.  It's safe to say runs will be plentiful, especially with the gas cans that are expected to pitch today.

The Padres will go with an opener before giving the bulk of the innings to Griffin Canning.  He has been a dumpster fire this season, going 0-5 with a 7.17 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in eight starts this season while allowing 30 earned runs and 8 homers in 37 2/3 innings.

Kyle Leahy is 5-3 with a 4.64 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 13 starts for the Cardinals this season.  He has allowed 33 earned runs and 102 base runners in 64 innings.

The Padres are 6-3 OVER in their last nine games overall.  The Cardinals are 6-5-2 OVER in their last 13 games with 11 or more combined runs in six of those.  They are raking right now scoring 4 runs or more in 11 of those 13 games.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

20* MLB Wednesday Early ANNIHILATOR on Royals/Nationals OVER 9.5

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 46-25-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.5 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  The Royals are starting to rake scoring at least 4 runs in seven of their last nine games overall, and 3 runs or more in 16 of their last 17 games overall.

Luinder Avila is 1-3 with a 6.19 ERA and 1.81 WHIP for the Royals this season allowing 22 earned runs and 58 base runners in 32 innings.  Avila has made four starts allowing 15 earned runs and 4 homers in 13 2/3 innings.  He is backed by a poor Kansas City bullpen with a 4.87 ERA and 1.52 WHIP this season.

Zack Littell is 6-5 with a 5.32 ERA in 14 games this season and 4-3 with a 6.19 ERA in eight home games.  He has allowed 16 homers on the season, including 25 earned runs and 8 homers in 36 1/3 innings at home.  He is also backed by a bad Washington bullpen with a 4.68 ERA on the season and a 5.02 ERA at home.

The OVER is 6-0 in the last six meetings between the Royals and Nationals with 10 or more combined runs in all six.  Temps will be in the 80's with light winds blowing out to center in Washington today to aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Marlins/Phillies OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Marlins and Phillies this afternoon.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center in Philadelphia.  That is favorable for both offenses up against these two suspect starting pitchers.

Sandy Alcantara is one of the most overrated starters in baseball.  He went 11-12 with a 5.36 ERA in 31 starts last season.  He is 6-4 with a 4.35 ERA in 15 starts this season.  Alcantara has really struggled away from Miami going 3-2 with a 5.24 ERA in seven road starts while allowing 26 earned runs and 9 homers in 44 2/3 innings.  Alcantara is 0-3 with a 8.31 ERA in his last three starts against Philadelphia, allowing 12 earned runs and 4 homers in 13 innings.

Andrew Painter is by far the weakest link in this Philadelphia rotation.  He is 1-7 with a 6.43 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 11 starts and two relief appearances this season.  He has allowed 45 earned runs and 12 homers in 63 innings.  Painter allowed 3 earned runs and 10 base runners in 5 innings in his lone start against Miami this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

20* MLB Tuesday Late-Night BAILOUT on Rays/Dodgers OVER 8

The Dodgers are scoring 5.3 runs per game with one of the best offenses in baseball.  The Rays are scoring 4.5 runs per game with an improved offense this season.  The Rays are hitting .284 in their 21 games against left-handed starters this season to really crush southpaws.

Lefty Justin Wrobleski is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball with just how much he pitches to contact.  Wrobleski has just 45 K's in 73 1/3 innings.  Regression hit him hard in his last start allowing 4 earned runs and 2 homers in 4 2/3 innings of a 8-6 win over the Pirates.

Drew Rasmussen is also a regression candidate for the Rays.  His unsustainable numbers are a big reason this total has been set as low as it is at 8 runs.  He is backed by a poor Tampa Bay bullpen with a 4.64 ERA on the season and a 4.84 ERA on the road.

The Dodgers are 7-2 OVER in their last nine games overall going for 10 or more combined runs in seven of those nine games.  These teams had 6 combined runs in the first 2 innings last night and finished with 7 for one of the worst beats for over backers all year.  We get some revenge tonight with this total set even lower from 9.5 in Game 1 down to 8 in Game 2 now.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* MLB Tuesday Night Line Mistake on Pirates/A's OVER 10.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 10.5 ticket between the Pirates and A's tonight.  Temps will be in the 90's at game time with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park tonight.  The ball should be flying out again for an A's home game.

The Pirates have one of the most improved offenses in baseball scoring 5.0 runs per game.  The Pirates are 15-4 OVER in their last 19 games overall going for 11 or more combined runs in 12 of those 19 games.  The A's and their opponents have combined for at least 10 runs in 12 of their last 17 games overall.  The A's have scored at least 4 runs in eight consecutive games averaging 7.9 runs per game during this stretch.

The A's have a very tired bullpen after playing six straight games in Las Vegas at another hitter-friendly park.  The Pirates have a 4.50 ERA as a bullpen this season.  The A's have a 4.78 ERA as a bullpen including a 6.39 ERA at home.

Mitch Keller is 5-4 with a 5.14 ERA in 14 starts for the Pirates this season.  Keller is 0-3 with a 7.05 ERA in three career starts against the A's, allowing 12 earned runs and 4 homers in 15 1/3 innings.  Jack Perkins is 2-3 with a 6.25 ERA this season for the A's allowing 25 earned runs in 36 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* MLB Tuesday Total DOMINATOR on Rockies/Cubs OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Cubs and Rockies at hitter-friendly Wrigley Field tonight.  There will be 15-20 MPH winds blowing out to right field to aid homers in that direction.  That's bad news for two struggling right-handed starting pitchers who will face lefty-heavy lineups in this one.

Ryan Feltner is 2-2 with a 5.20 ERA in eight starts this season, including 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA in two road starts.  Feltner just faced the Cubs on June 11th in his last start allowing 6 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 9-3 loss.  The Cubs have the advantage getting to see him for the 2nd time in a week.

Edward Cabrera is 4-3 with a 4.86 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 12 starts this season allowing 34 earned runs and 13 homers in 63 innings.  Cabrera is 2-2 with a 5.15 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in seven home starts.  He allowed 2 homers in 5 1/3 innings opposite Feltner on June 11th, so getting to see him for the 2nd time in a week will also be an advantage for Colorado hitters.

The Rockies and their opponents have combined for at least 10 runs in 13 of their last 16 games overall.  Feltner is 1-1 with a 8.39 ERA in two career starts against Chicago.  Cabrera is 1-1 with a 5.53 ERA in his last three starts against Colorado.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* MLB Tuesday Night BLOWOUT on Washington Nationals -125

The Washington Nationals are one of the most improved teams in baseball with a 38-35 record this season.  They are scoring 5.5 runs per game with one of the best offenses in baseball.  They take on the Royals, who are 29-44 this season with one of the worst offenses in baseball.  They are scoring just 4.0 runs per game and are the worst hitting team in the majors on the road.

Michael Wacha comes in struggling allowing 14 earned runs in 17 2/3 innings in his last three starts.  Wacha has allowed 7 earned runs in 15 2/3 innings in his last three starts against Washington.  He is backed by a poor Kansas City bullpen with a 4.80 ERA and 1.51 WHIP this season.

Foster Griffin has been the best starter for the Nationals this season.  He is 7-2 with a 3.46 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 14 starts this season with 74 K's in 78 innings.  So the Nationals have big advantages on the mound and at the plate tonight and should be bigger favorites as a result.  Bet the Nationals Tuesday.

The Dodgers are scoring 5.4 runs per game with one of the best offenses in baseball.  The Rays are scoring 4.5 runs per game with an improved offense this season.  The Rays are hitting .286 in their 20 games against left-handed starters this season to really crush southpaws.

Lefty Eric Lauer has been a dumpster fire this season.  He is 2-5 with a 5.47 ERA in nine starts and two relief appearances, allowing a whopping 15 homers in 52 2/3 innings.  Lauer has never beaten the Rays, going 0-3 with a 7.72 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in five career starts against them while allowing 18 earned runs, 7 homers and 38 base runners in 21 innings.
