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.

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* 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

20* Interleague TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Royals/Nationals OVER 8.5

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 45-25-3 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 six of their last eight games overall, and 3 runs or more in 15 of their last 16 games overall.

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 is 2-1 with a 4.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in five home starts this season allowing a whopping 8 homers in 27 innings.  He is also backed by a bad Washington bullpen with a 4.65 ERA on the season and a 4.96 ERA at home.

The OVER is 5-0 in the last five meetings between the Royals and Nationals with 10 or more combined runs in all five.  Temps will be in the 70's with light winds blowing out to center in Washington tonight to aid us in cashing this OVER 8.5 ticket.  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.

20* MLB Monday Late-Night BAILOUT on Rays/Dodgers OVER 9

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.

Nick Martinez is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball.  He has an expected ERA of nearly 2 runs higher than his actual ERA.  He is a contact pitcher with just 44 K's in 77 2/3 innings.  Regression has hit in his last two starts allowing 9 earned runs and 2 homers in 11 innings, and it will continue tonight against the powerful Dodgers.

The Dodgers are 7-1 OVER in their last eight games overall going for 10 or more combined runs in seven of those eight games.  Martinez allowed 4 earned runs and 9 base runners in 5 1/3 innings in his last road start against the Dodgers.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

15* Pirates/A's Interleague ANNIHILATOR on 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 11 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 14-4 OVER in their last 18 games overall going for 11 or more combined runs in 11 of those 18 games.

JT Ginn is 3-1 with a 4.70 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in seven home games this season.  Jared Jones is 1-0 with a 4.73 ERA in three starts this season as he works his way back from injury on a pitch count.  The Pirates have a 4.53 ERA as a bullpen this season.  The A's have a 4.80 ERA as a bullpen including a 6.35 ERA at home.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

20* NL TOTAL OF THE MONTH 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.  Temps will be in the 70's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center.  That's bad news for two starting pitchers who are struggling mightily coming into this one.

Michael Lorenzen is 2-8 with a 7.54 ERA and 1.89 WHIP in 14 starts this season while allowing 55 earned runs in 65 2/3 innings.  Lorenzen is 0-1 with a 7.11 ERA in four career starts against the Cubs, allowing 15 earned runs in 19 innings.

Shota Imanaga has posted a 8.78 ERA in his last five starts.  He has allowed a whopping 26 earned runs and 12 homers in 26 2/3 innings in those five starts.  These starters just squared off against each other last week in Colorado, and that will give the offenses the advantage getting to see them again for the 2nd time in a week.

The Rockies have a depleted bullpen after playing in so many high-scoring games of late.  They have a 5.21 ERA on the season.  The Rockies and their opponents have combined for at least 10 runs in 13 of their last 15 games overall.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

15* MLB Monday Night BLOWOUT on Washington Nationals -123

The Washington Nationals are one of the most improved teams in baseball with a 37-35 record this season.  They are scoring 5.4 runs per game with one of the best offenses in baseball.  They take on the Royals, who are 29-43 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.

Andrew Alvarez is 1-0 with a 3.70 ERA this season while allowing 10 earned runs and 2 homers in 24 1/3 innings with 26 K's.  He will get the bulk of the innings before giving way to a rested Washington bullpen after Mile Mikolas ate up 7 innings for them yesterday.

Mitch Spence is 11-16 with a 4.91 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with just 195 K's in 240 innings in his career in the big leagues.  He allowed 6 earned runs in 4 innings in his lone start this season.  He is backed by a poor Kansas City bullpen with a 4.85 ERA this season.  Washington has the advantage on the mound and at the plate tonight and should be a bigger favorite as a result.  Bet the Nationals Monday.

15* MLB Monday Total DOMINATOR on Royals/Nationals OVER 9

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 43-25-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The Royals are starting to rake scoring at least 4 runs in six of their last seven games overall, and 3 runs or more in 14 of their last 15 games overall.

The OVER is 4-0 in the last four meetings between the Royals and Nationals with 11 or more combined runs in all four.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Rangers and Red Sox tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center at hitter-friendly Fenway Park.  This shapes up to be an absolute slug fest between two offenses that are a lot healthier right now than they have been all season.

Nathan Eovaldi is 5-7 with a 4.26 ERA in 13 starts this season while allowing 15 homers already.  He has allowed 13 earned runs and 4 homers in 18 2/3 innings in his last three starts.  He has posted a 4.78 ERA in 11 career starts against Boston, including a 4.97 ERA in six career starts at Fenway Park.

20* AL GAME OF THE MONTH on Tampa Bay Rays -115

The Rays will be highly motivated for a victory today to avoid the sweep after losing the first two games of this series to the Los Angeles Angels.  I like their chances considering the starting pitcher for the Angels today.

Grayson Rodriquez has been an absolute dumpster fire for the Angels.  He is 2-2 with a 8.49 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in five starts this season.  That includes 1-2 with a 10.31 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in four home starts, allowing 21 earned runs, 4 homers and 39 base runners in 18 1/3 innings.  He is backed by a poor Angels bullpen with a 4.62 ERA this season.  Bet the Rays Sunday.

15* Cardinals/Twins Interleague ANNIHILATOR on OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Cardinals and Twins today.  Temps will be in the 70's with 15 MPH winds blowing out to center in Minnesota.  It was a similar forecast the last two days when these teams combined for 17 runs in Game 1 and 15 runs in Game 2.  It will be more of the same in Game 3 today.

The Twins are 46-25-1 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  Minnesota is 14-3-1 OVER in its last 18 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 12 of their last 15 games.  The Cardinals are 6-2-2 OVER in their last 10 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in seven of those 10 games.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 43-25-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 10 ticket today with temps in the 90's and 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to center.

The Mariners are 8-2-1 OVER in their last 11 games overall going for 9 or more combined runs in nine of those 11 games.  They have scored at least 4 runs in six of their last eight games.  They will stay hot against one of the worst starters in baseball in Miles Mikolas, who is 1-5 with a 5.90 ERA in 61 innings this season.

20* AL GAME OF THE WEEK on Tampa Bay Rays -109

Getting the 40-26 Rays at basically even money against the 28-42 Angels is great value tonight.  That's especially the case when I don't consider the Angels to have any advantage on the mound tonight in this one.

Griffin Jax has held his own with a 3.92 ERA this season and a 3.22 ERA on the road.  Jax has allowed one earned run or fewer in four of his last five starts.  He is backed by a deep, solid Tampa Bay bullpen.  The Angels have a 4.69 ERA as a bullpen this season.

Jose Soriano has a 5.53 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 17 earned runs and 4 homers in 27 2/3 innings.  He is 1-2 with a 5.66 ERA in four career starts against the Rays.  That includes 0-2 with a 12.38 ERA in two career home starts against them, allowing 11 earned runs and 2 homers in 8 innings.  He allowed 7 earned runs in 4 innings in his last start against Tampa Bay.  Bet the Rays Saturday.

15* MLB Saturday Night Line Mistake on Phillies/Brewers OVER 8

The Brewers are scoring 5.3 runs per game this season with one of the most potent offenses in baseball.  They have scored 66 runs in their last eight games for an average of 8.3 runs per game.  They are capable of covering this total on their own today.

The Brewers will stay hot at the plate against the overrated Aaron Nola, who is 3-4 with a 5.86 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 13 starts this season.  He has allowed 43 earned runs and 11 homers in 66 innings.  Nola allowed 6 earned runs in 5 innings to the Brewers in his last start against them.

The Phillies should get their bats going today after getting shut out by the best starter in baseball in Jacob Misiorowski yesterday.  They take a big step down in class here against rookie Shane Drohan, who has allowed 8 earned runs in 13 innings in his three starts this season for a 5.54 ERA.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* NL PLAY OF THE DAY on Braves/Mets OVER 8

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8 ticket between the Braves and Mets today.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center at Citi Field.  It was a similar forecast yesterday when these teams combined for 12 runs with a much better starting pitching matchup than what we have today.

Martin Perez is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball.  He has been much worse on the road this season with a 4.25 ERA in six road games allowing 14 earned runs and 5 homers in 29 2/3 innings.  Perez has allowed 6 earned runs, 2 homers and 17 base runners in 12 1/3 innings in his last two road starts against the Mets.

New York will make this a bullpen game starting with Sean Manaea, who has been dreadful this season.  He is 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA and 1.44 WHIP allowing 24 earned runs in 43 innings.  Manaea has a 5.48 ERA and 1.59 WHIP at home allowing 13 earned runs in 21 1/3 innings.

The OVER is 5-0 in the last five meetings between the Mariners and Nationals with 9 or more combined runs in all five games and 10 or more in four of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* MLB Saturday Undervalued Underdog on Toronto Blue Jays +113

I really like getting the Toronto Blue Jays as home underdogs to the New York Yankees today.  I was on the Blue Jays yesterday, and I'm back on them again today.  The Yankees are without Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and they will now be without Trent Grisham as well who was just played on the IL today.  Their lineup is much less potent without these guys.

Kevin Gausman has been solid for the Blue Jays this season at 4-4 with a 3.71 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 14 starts, including 2-2 with a 3.57 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in eight home starts.  But what really stands out is just how much success he has against the Yankees.

Guasman is 11-9 with a 3.62 ERA in 34 career starts against New York, including 5-3 with a 3.13 ERA in 17 home starts.  He has really held them in check of late, allowing just 3 earned runs and 16 base runners in 20 2/3 innings in his last three starts against them.

Cam Schlittler has never beaten the BlueJays, going 0-3 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in four career starts against them.  He has allowed 10 earned runs and 35 base runners in 19 innings with just 14 K's in those four starts.  Bet the Blue Jays Saturday.

15* Cardinals/Twins MLB Early ANNIHILATOR on OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Cardinals and Twins today.  Temps will be in the 70's with 15 MPH winds blowing out to center in Minnesota.  It was a similar forecast yesterday when these teams combined for 17 runs in Game 1.  It will be more of the same in Game 2 today.

The Twins are 45-25-1 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 5.2 runs per game.  Minnesota is 13-3-1 OVER in its last 17 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 11 of their last 14 games.  The Cardinals are 5-2-2 OVER in their last nine games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in six of those nine games.

Matthew Liberatore is 3-3 with a 4.48 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 13 starts for the Cardinals this season while allowing 33 earned runs, 11 homers and 100 base runners in 66 1/3 innings.  He allowed 5 earned runs and 2 homers in 5 2/3 innings in his lone career start against Minnesota.

Rookie Connor Prielipp is 2-4 with a 5.15 ERA in nine starts for the Twins this season while allowing 25 earned runs in 43 2/3 innings.  He is backed by one of the worst bullpens in baseball with Minnesota having a 5.15 ERA this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

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

Temps will be in the 60's with light winds blowing out to center in San Francisco tonight to aid us in cashing this OVER 8 ticket.  The Cubs are scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 4.5 runs per game this season to really profile as an OVER team.  The Giants are allowing 4.9 runs per game with a terrible staff.

The Giants have really come to life at the plate.  The Giants are 16-6-2 OVER in their last 24 games overall with 8 or more combined runs in 19 of those 24 games.  They have scored 51 runs in their last seven games coming in for an average of 7.3 runs per game.

Javier Assad is 3-1 with a 4.73 ERA this season allowing 17 earned runs in 32 1/3 innings.  Assad is 2-1 with a 8.00 ERA on the road allowing 16 earned runs in 18 innings.

Landen Roupp is 5-6 with a 4.00 ERA in 13 starts for the Giants this season, including 2-3 with a 4.10 ERA in five home starts.  Roupp has allowed 9 earned runs and 19 base runners in 9 1/3 innings in his last two starts coming in.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* MLB BLOWOUT GAME OF THE WEEK on A's -1.5 (-105)

The A's have the rest advantage over the Rockies tonight.  They had Thursday off while the Rockies were completing their 3-game series at home against the Cubs.  The A's also have a big advantage on the mound tonight.

Top prospect Gage Jump has been dominant in his last two starts allowing just one earned run in 13 1/3 innings.  Jump is ready for the majors, and he will show that again tonight against the light-hitting Rockies.

Colorado will likely make this a bullpen game with Zachary Agnos getting the bulk of the innings.  Agnos has been awful, going 0-1 with a 7.65 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in two starts and 15 relief appearances this season.  He has allowed 34 earned runs and 8 homers in 40 innings with just 28 K's.

Las Vegas Ballpark is the most hitter-friendly park in the minors.  The total for this game has been set at 14 which means a lot of runs are expected.  And the more runs that are expected, the more it favors the Run Line.  I have no doubt the A's win this game by multiple runs tonight as a result.  Bet the A's on the Run Line Friday.

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

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 41-25-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  Temps will be in the 80's tonight with light winds blowing out to center to aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket.

The Mariners are 6-2-1 OVER in their last nine games overall going for 9 or more combined runs in seven of those nine games.  They have scored at least 4 runs in five of their last six games.

The Mariners should stay hot at the plate tonight against Zack Littell.  He is 6-4 with a 4.76 ERA in 13 games this season allowing 34 earned runs and 15 homers in 64 1/3 innings.  He is 4-2 with a 5.19 ERA in seven home games as well.

Bryce Miller is a big regression candidate for the Mariners as he cannot keep up these numbers he has posted in four starts.  He went 4-6 with a 5.68 ERA in 18 starts last season.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* MLB Friday Night Line Mistake on Dodgers/White Sox OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Dodgers and White Sox tonight.  Temps will be in the 79's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to left-center in Chicago.

The Dodgers are 5-0 OVER in their last five games overall with 11 or more combined runs in all five games, and 14 or more in four of them.  The Dodgers have scored at least 5 runs in seven of their last nine games overall.  They have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.4 runs per game.

A big reason for Chicago's turnaround this season is an offense that is scoring 4.8 runs per game.  The White Sox are 38-26 OVER in all games this season.  They have gone for at least 9 combined runs in six of their last eight games overall.

Rokie Sasaki is 3-3 with a 4.03 ERA in 11 starts this season, including 2-1 with a 4.88 ERA in five road starts.  Anthony Kay is 5-1 with a 4.40 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 11 starts and two relief appearances this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* Yankees/Blue Jays AL East No-Brainer on Toronto -110

This is a big series for the Blue Jays to try and gain ground on the Yankees who they trail by 9 games in the AL East.  They will be fully focused for Game 1 tonight, and they get to face the Yankees without Aaron Judge.

The Blue Jays have a big advantage on the mound tonight behind Trey Yesavage, who is 2-3 with a 3.16 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in eight starts this season allowing just 15 earned runs and 2 homers in 42 2/3 innings.  Yesavage has owned the Yankees, going 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in two career starts against them while firing 11 2/3 shutout innings with 19 K's.

Ryan Weathers is 2-4 with a 3.86 ERA in 12 starts this season allowing 13 homers in 70 innings.  Weathers is 0-1 with a 3.97 ERA in four road starts.  He has allowed at least 5 earned runs in three of his last four starts and a total of 7 homers during this stretch.  Weathers allowed 5 earned runs and 2 homers in 5 1/3 innings in his lone start against Toronto this season.  Bet the Blue Jays Friday.

15* MLB Friday Total DOMINATOR on Padres/Orioles OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Padres and Orioles tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with light winds blowing out to right-center.

The Orioles are 9-3-1 OVER in their last 13 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 12 of those 13 games.  This total of 9 is too short for a game involving the Orioles right now.  They are finally living up to their potential offensively scoring 4 runs or more in 14 of their last 17 games overall.  But they have a terrible staff allowing 5.1 runs per game this season.

The Padres are 4-0 OVER in their last four games overall.  They are notoriously a much more potent offensive team when they get away from the pitcher-friendly confines of Petco Park.

Griffin Canning has been a dumpster fire for the Padres this season.  He is 0-4 with a 6.34 ERA in seven starts while allowing 23 earned runs and 6 homers in 32 2/3 innings.  Canning is 0-2 with a 12.15 ERA in two road starts.  He is 1-3 with a 8.34 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in five career starts against the Orioles, allowing 21 earned runs, 7 homers and 43 base runners in 22 2/3 innings.

Shane Baz is 2-2 with a 4.55 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in five home starts this season allowing 14 earned runs in 27 2/3 innings.  Baz is backed by a poor Baltimore bullpen with a 4.63 ERA this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Dodgers/Pirates OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Dodgers and Pirates tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10 MPH winds blowing out to left-center.  These teams combined for 15 runs in Game 1 and 17 runs in Game 2, and it should be more of the same in Game 3 tonight.

The Dodgers are 4-0 OVER in their last four games overall with 11 or more combined runs in all four games, and 15 or more in three of them.  The Dodgers have scored at least 5 runs in six of their last eight games overall.  The Pirates are 12-2 OVER in their last 14 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 12 of those 14 games.  They have scored at least 5 runs in seven of their last 11 games.

Justin Wrobleski is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball with how much he pitches to contact.  He has just 44 K's in 68 2/3 innings.  The Dodgers are scoring 6.6 runs per game in Wrobleski's starts this season to pad his record.

Mitch Keller is 5-3 with a 4.81 ERA in 13 starts this season, including 3-2 with a 5.22 ERA in seven home starts.  The Pirates are scoring 5.0 runs per game in Keller's starts this season.  Keller does not enjoy facing the Dodgers, going 2-3 with a 6.59 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in six career starts against them while allowing 21 earned runs in 28 2/3 innings.  He has allowed 13 earned runs and 3 homers in 15 innings in his last three starts against them.  

The OVER is 6-1 in the last seven meetings between the Dodgers and Pirates.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

15* MLB Wednesday Undervalued Underdog on Houston Astros +106

The Houston Astros just got Jose Altuve back and are much healthier than they have been in a long time.  They have scored at least 4 runs in 12 of their last 16 games overall.  I really like what they are doing at the plate right now, and having Josh Hader back healthy in their bullpen.

I also like what I've seen from Peter Lambert this season.  He is 5-4 with a 3.55 ERA in nine starts while allowing just 3 homers in 50 2/3 innings.  Lambert is 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA in three road starts as well.  He will be facing the Angels for the first time which is to his advantage.

Reid Detmers is 2-5 with a 4.38 ERA in 13 starts for the Angels this season, including 0-3 with a 5.11 ERA in six home starts.  Detmers does not enjoy facing the Astros, going 1-4 with a 8.12 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 10 career starts against them allowing 40 earned runs in 44 1/3 innings.  He has a 13.50 ERA in his last three starts against Houston allowing 16 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings.  Bet the Astros Wednesday.

20* MLB BLOWOUT GAME OF THE MONTH on Chicago Cubs -1.5 (-114)

The Chicago Cubs lost 7-3 to the Colorado Rockies in Game 1 of this series yesterday.  I fully expect them to bounce back and win this game by multiple runs thanks to their big advantage on the mound.

Michael Lorenzen has been the worst starter in baseball this season.  He is 2-8 with a 8.01 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in 14 starts this season, including 1-3 with a 9.67 ERA and 2.37 WHIP in six starts at Coors Field.  Lorenzen is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in three career starts against the Cubs, allowing 14 earned runs and 3 homers in 14 innings.

Shota Imanaga is 4-6 with a 4.86 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 13 starts this season, including 1-3 with a 4.40 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in five road starts.  Imanaga fired 6 shutout innings with 9 K's in a 5-0 win over the Rockies in his lone career start against them.  Bet the Cubs on the Run Line Wednesday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on Phillies/Blue Jays OVER 8.5

Max Scherzer makes his return to the Toronto rotation largely due to stubbornness.  He is washed, and that has been evident with the fact that Scherzer has gone 1-3 with a 9.64 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in five starts this season, allowing 20 earned runs and 7 homers in 18 2/3 innings.

Jesus Luzardo is 4-4 with a 4.68 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 13 starts for the Phillies this season allowing 38 earned runs in 73 innings.  One of the worst starts of his career came in his last start against Toronto, allowing 8 earned runs in 2 1/3 innings to the Blue Jays.

Both the Phillies and Blue Jays are heating up at the plate and both are very healthy right now.  Toronto is 8-2-1 OVER in its last 11 games overall with 9 or more combined runs in eight of those 11 games.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

20* NL TOTAL OF THE WEEK on DBacks/Marlins OVER 8

The Miami Marlins are 111-81 OVER in all home games over the last three seasons.  They are 75-47 OVER as a home underdog during this same time frame.  The OVER is 7-1 in the last eight meetings between the Marlins and Diamondbacks with 8 or more combined runs in all eight, and 10 or more in seven of them.

Ryne Nelson is 2-4 with a 4.60 ERA in 13 starts for the Diamondbacks this season allowing 37 earned runs and 15 homers in 72 1/3 innings.  He is backed by a poor Arizona bullpen with a 4.42 ERA on the season.

Ryan Gusto is 0-1 with a 10.80 ERA and 1.80 WHIP this season allowing 6 earned runs and 9 base runners in 5 innings.  He is 7-8 with a 5.91 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in his career in the big leagues, allowing 70 earned runs and 17 homers in 106 2/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* MLB Wednesday Afternoon Line Mistake on Reds/Padres OVER 8

Temps will be in the 70's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to right-center in San Diego today.  These teams combined for 8 runs in each of the first two games of this series, and I expect them to top that today with the forecast aiding us in cashing this OVER 8 ticket.

The Reds are 41-24-1 OVER in all games this season.  Brady Singer is a big reason why as he has been one of the worst starters in baseball.  The OVER is 9-2-1 in Singer's 12 starts this season with 8 or more combined runs in 10 of those 12 starts, and 10 or more in nine of them.

Singer is 2-6 with a 5.89 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 12 starts this season allowing 36 earned runs and 17 homers in 55 innings.  He is 0-4 with a 6.97 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in seven road starts.  He is backed by one of the worst bullpens in baseball with the Reds having a 5.08 ERA this season.

Michael King comes in struggling allowing 13 earned runs and 4 homers in 15 2/3 innings in his last three starts for a 7.47 ERA.  Kings has allowed 5 earned runs and 3 homers in 11 2/3 innings in his last two starts against the Reds.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* MLB Wednesday Total DOMINATOR on Nationals/Giants OVER 8

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 40-25-3 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 is too short for a game involving the Nationals, especially with light winds blowing out to center in San Francisco today.

The Giants have really come to life at the plate.  The Giants are 15-6-2 OVER in their last 23 games overall with 8 or more combined runs in 18 of those 23 games.  They have scored 40 runs in their last six games coming in for an average of 6.7 runs per game.

Foster Griffin has posted a 6.39 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 18 earned runs and 8 homers in 25 1/3 innings.  He is backed by a bad Washington bullpen with a 4.55 ERA this season.

Robbie Ray is 4-6 with a 4.12 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 13 starts for the Giants this season allowing 31 earned runs and 13 homers in 67 2/3 innings.  Ray has posted a 6.95 ERA in his last five starts while allowing 17 earned runs and 5 homers in 22 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* Brewers/A's MLB Late-Night BAILOUT on OVER 13

The A's are playing this series at Las Vegas Ballpark which is the hitter-friendly home of the A's Triple-A affiliate Aviators.  In game 1, the Brewers won 15-14 in 12 innings in a game that featured 11 home runs and 34 hits combined.  It was tied 10-10 going into extras which would have sailed over this 13-run total.

There were 12 combined runs after 3 innings after the A's knocked out Kyle Harrison, who was having a tremendous season before having to pitch in this ball park.  These stadium sits at nearly 3,000 feet of elevation, and it's hot with the wind almost always blowing out.  That will be the case again tonight with temps in the 90's and 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to center.

Robert Gasser will be the next victim for the Brewers.  He is 0-2 with a 4.73 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in three starts this season, allowing 7 earned runs and 19 base runners in 13 2/3 innings.  The Brewers used 6 bullpen arms last night so they are taxed and depleted.

This is where J.T. Ginn's impressive season comes to an end tonight, too.  He is 3-3 with a 2.74 ERA in 14 starts this season and 2-1 with a 3.96 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in six home starts at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park, which is actually much less hitter-friendly than Las Vegas Ballpark.  The A's also used 6 different relievers last night so they are taxed and depleted as well.

The Brewers are 8-3 OVER in their last 11 games overall.  They are raking right now scoring 7 runs or more in seven of their last eight games overall while averaging 9.5 runs per game during this stretch.  The A's are 8-3 OVER in their last 11 games overall finishing with 13 or more combined runs in four of their last eight contests.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

20* AL GAME OF THE WEEK on Texas Rangers -120

The Rangers have two of their best hitters back healthy in Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford.  They have scored at least 6 runs in five of their last nine games overall. This offensive surge has led to a 7-2 run in their last nine games for their best stretch of the season.

Nathan Eovaldi has really improved after a slow start to the season.  He has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in six of his last 10 starts.  He has a 4.10 ERA in 12 starts this season and a 3.88 ERA in eight road starts.  Eovaldi has allowed just 4 earned runs in 12 innings in winning each of his last two starts against Kansas City.

Stephen Kolek is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball.  The soft tosser has just 27 K's in 38 innings this season.  He has not enjoyed facing the Rangers, allowing 12 runs, 10 earned, and 3 homers in 10 1/3 innings in his last two starts against them for a 8.71 ERA.

The Royals are dealing with some key injuries to Bobby Witt, Salvador Perez and Jac Gaglione.  All three missed time in the series against Minnesota over the weekend.  The Rangers also have a big advantage with their bullpen which has posted a 3.16 ERA this season compared to a 5.00 ERA for the Royals.  Bet the Rangers Tuesday.

20* AL TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Rangers/Royals OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Rangers and Royals tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 13-15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center in Kansas City.  They moved the outfield walls in to make Kauffman Stadium more hitter-friendly this season as well.

The Rangers have two of their best hitters back healthy in Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford.  They have scored at least 6 runs in five of their last nine games overall while going 5-3-1 OVER during this stretch.  The Royals have scored at least 5 runs in four of their last seven games, and 3 runs or more in nine consecutive games.

Nathan Eovaldi is 5-6 with a 4.10 ERA in 12 starts this season allowing 14 homers in 74 2/3 innings as giving up the long ball has been an issue for him.  He has allowed 9 earned runs and 3 homers in 13 innings in his last two starts.  He has also allowed 10 earned runs in 17 innings in his last three starts against the Royals.

Stephen Kolek is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball.  The soft tosser has just 27 K's in 38 innings this season.  He has not enjoyed facing the Rangers, allowing 12 runs, 10 earned, and 3 homers in 10 1/3 innings in his last two starts against them for a 8.71 ERA.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

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

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 7.5 ticket between the Cardinals and Mets tonight.  Temps will be in the 70's with 13-16 MPH winds blowing out to left-center at Citi Field.

The Cardinals are 3-1-1 OVER in their last five games overall finishing with 8 or more combined runs in all five games.  The Mets are 13-8-2 OVER in their last 23 games overall finishing with 8 or more combined runs in 14 of those 23 games.

Dustin May is 3-6 with a 4.59 ERA in 12 starts this season allowing 34 earned runs in 66 2/3 innings.  May has posted a 5.40 ERA in two career starts against the Mets, allowing 7 earned runs in 11 2/3 innings.

Freddy Peralta is 4-4 with a 3.38 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 13 starts this season for the Mets, including 2-2 with a 3.77 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in eight home starts.  He is 3-6 with a 4.54 ERA in 17 career starts against the Cardinals, including 3-3 with a 5.29 ERA in 10 home starts.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* MLB Tuesday Total DOMINATOR on Mariners/Orioles OVER 8.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8.5 ticket between the Mariners and Orioles tonight.  Temps will be approaching 80 with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to left field in Baltimore.  These teams combined for 9 runs in Game 1 yesterday, and it should result in 9 or more combined runs again in Game 2 tonight.

The Orioles are 7-3 OVER in their last 10 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in 9 of those 10 games.  They have scored 4 runs or more in eight of those 10 games as their offense has really picked up.  The Mariners are 5-3 OVER in their last eight road games finishing with 9 or more combined runs in six of those eight games.  They have scored 4 runs or more in seven of those eight games.

Logan Gilbert is a fly ball pitcher for the Mariners allowing 13 homers in 13 starts this season.  That's bad news for him here given the forecast and all the power hitters the Orioles have.  Gilbert has allowed 6 earned runs and 2 homers in 11 2/3 innings in his last two starts against Baltimore.

Trevor Rogers has been a dumpster fire all season.  He is 3-6 with a 6.29 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 11 starts this season, allowing 38 earned runs in 54 1/3 innings.  He is backed by a bad Baltimore bullpen with a 4.70 ERA this season.  It's a big reason the Orioles are allowing 5.2 runs per game this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* MLB Monday Total DOMINATOR on Nationals/Giants OVER 8

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They have gone 39-24-3 OVER in all games this season.  They are scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game this season.  This total of 8 is too short for a game involving the Nationals, especially with double-digit winds blowing out to center in San Francisco tonight.

The Giants have really come to life at the plate.  The Giants are 14-5-2 OVER in their last 21 games overall with 8 or more combined runs in 17 of those 21 games.  They have scored 34 runs in their last four games coming in.

The Giants will stay hot at the plate against Miles Mikolas, who is one of the worst starters in baseball.  Mikolas is 1-5 with a 6.07 ERA in 13 games this season allowing 38 earned runs and 14 homers in 56 1/3 innings.  He has allowed 7 earned runs in 11 innings in his last two starts against the Giants.

Logan Webb has been one of the most overrated starters in baseball this season.  He has been particularly poor at home, going 0-3 with a 6.26 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in four home starts while allowing 16 earned runs in 23 innings.  Webb hasn't enjoyed facing the Nationals, either, allowing 10 earned runs in 13 innings in his last three starts against them for a 6.92 ERA.  Bet the OVER in this game Monday.

15* MLB Monday Night BLOWOUT on Houston Astros -126

The Houston Astros just got Jose Altuve back and are much healthier than they have been in a long time.  They have scored at least 4 runs in 11 of their last 14 games overall.  But while I like what the offense is doing, I'm on the Astros due to their massive advantage on the mound tonight.

Spencer Arrighetti is 7-1 with a 1.94 ERA in nine starts this season, including 4-1 with a 1.69 ERA in five road starts.  He has allowed just 11 earned runs and 3 homers in 51 innings this season.  Arrighetti has posted a 2.19 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in two career starts against the Angels, allowing just 3 earned runs in 12 1/3 innings with 14 K's.

It looks as though the Angels brought Grayson Rodriquez back too soon.  He has been a dumpster fire, going 2-2 with a 10.00 ERA and 1.94 WHIP in four starts this season, allowing 20 earned runs and 5 homers in 18 innings.  He allowed 7 earned runs in 5 innings in his last start against the Astros.  Bet the Astros Monday.

20* MLB Sunday Total DOMINATOR on Nationals/Diamondbacks OVER 8.5

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 39-23-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The Diamondbacks are scoring 4.3 runs per game and allowing 4.6 runs per game this season.

Cade Cavalli is 3-3 with a 3.62 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 13 starts this season, and 2-1 with a 3.77 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in six road starts.  He is backed by one of the worst bullpens in baseball with the Nationals having a 4.64 ERA this season.

Regression has hit Mike Soroka hard of late allowing 7 earned runs in 18 innings in his last three starts.  He is 0-2 with a 6.00 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in two career home starts against Washington.  Soroka is backed by a poor Arizona bullpen with a 4.26 ERA this season and a 4.41 ERA at home.

The OVER is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings between the Nationals and Diamondbacks with 9 or more combined runs in eight of those 11 meetings.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

20* MLB TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Reds/Cardinals OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Reds and Cardinals today.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center in St. Louis.  The Reds are 39-23-1 OVER in all games this season.  These teams combined for 13 runs in Game 1 and 11 runs in Game 2 with similar forecasts, and it will be more of the same today.

Rhett Lowder is 3-3 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in eight starts for the Reds this season.  Lowder is 2-3 with a 6.65 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in five road starts.  The Reds have one of the worst bullpens in baseball with a 5.12 ERA this season.

Michael McGreevy is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball with just 44 K's in 66 1/3 innings.  As a contact pitcher, he has been fortunate to post a 2.98 ERA to this point.  That regression has started to show in his last three starts, allowing 10 earned runs and 28 base runners in 15 innings.  He will continue to struggle today.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

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

The Marlins are 110-80 OVER in all home games over the last three seasons.  They are 75-47 OVER as a home underdog.  This total of 8 is too short today.

The Rays are scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 4.5 runs per game.  The Marlins are allowing 4.5 runs per game.  The Rays are capable of covering this total on their own.

Sandy Alcantara is one of the most overrated starters in baseball.  He went 11-12 with a 5.36 ERA in 31 starts for the Marlins last season.  He is 4-4 with a 4.59 ERA in 13 starts this season.  Alcantara is 1-2 with a 6.39 ERA in five interleague starts.  He is 0-3 with a 5.66 ERA in four career home starts against the Rays.

Griffin Jax is 1-4 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.44 WHIP this season allowing 24 runs, 17 earned, and 7 homers in 34 innings.  Jax allowed 6 earned runs and 3 homers in 4 innings of a 10-9 loss to the Tigers in his last start.  The Rays have a poor bullpen with a 4.52 ERA on the season and a 4.67 ERA on the road.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* AL PLAY OF THE DAY on Orioles/Blue Jays OVER 8

The Baltimore Orioles are heating up at the plate scoring 5 runs or more in 10 of their last 15 games overall, and 4 or more in 12 of those.  The Blue Jays are also heating up scoring 5 runs or more in five of their last eight games, and 3 runs or more in all eight.  This total of 8 is too short today.

Shane Baz is 3-5 with a 4.16 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 12 starts for the Orioles this season.  Baz allowed 3 earned runs and 2 homers in 4 2/3 innings in his lone career road start in Toronto.  He's backed by a poor Baltimore bullpen with a 4.68 ERA on the season and a 5.66 ERA on the road.

Kevin Gausman is 4-4 with a 3.48 ERA in 13 starts for the Blue Jays this season.  He allowed 4 earned runs in 6 innings to the Braves in his last start, and he's backed by a tired Toronto bullpen.  Gausman is 3-4 with a 4.53 ERA in eight career starts against the Orioles, including 2-3 with a 5.14 ERA in six career home starts against them.

The OVER is 7-1 in the last eight meetings between the Orioles and Blue Jays with 9 or more combined runs in seven of those eight, and 10 or more in six of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

15* Red Sox/Yankees AL East ANNIHILATOR on OVER 7.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 7.5 ticket between the Red Sox and Yankees at hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to center in New York today.

Ranger Suarez comes in struggling allowing 9 earned runs and 19 base runners in 10 innings in his last two starts.  He allowed 4 earned runs in 4 2/3 innings in his lone start against the Yankees this season.

Regression has hit Cam Schlittler hard in recent starts.  He allowed 5 runs, 4 earned, and one homer in 4 1/3 innings of a 9-4 loss to the light-hitting Guardians in his last start.  He faced a hot Boston lineup that has scored 5 runs or more in seven of its last 11 games overall.

The Red Sox are 6-3-2 OVER in their last 11 games overall finishing with 8 or more combined runs in nine of those 11 games.  The Yankees are 5-1-1 OVER in their last seven games overall finishing with 8 or more combined runs in six of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Sunday.

20* MLB Saturday Total DOMINATOR on Nationals/Diamondbacks OVER 9

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 39-22-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.3 runs per game.  The Diamondbacks are scoring 4.4 runs per game and allowing 4.5 runs per game this season.

Zack Littell is 5-4 with a 5.01 ERA in 12 games this season allowing 40 runs, 33 earned, and 15 homers in 59 1/3 innings.  Littell has allowed 6 earned runs and 3 homers in 9 innings in his last two starts against Arizona.  Washington has one of the worst bullpens in baseball with a 4.76 ERA this season.

Eduardo Rodriquez is due some regression.  He allowed 4 earned runs in 5 innings in his last start against the Nationals.  The Nationals beat the Diamondbacks 14-1 yesterday to really tax their bullpen, which was already taxed after a 4-game series with the Dodgers.

The OVER is 8-2 in the last nine meetings between the Nationals and Diamondbacks with 9 or more combined runs in eight of those 10 meetings.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on White Sox/Phillies OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the White Sox and Phillies today.  Temps will be in the 90's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to center.  It was a similar forecast yesterday when these teams combined for 14 runs in Game 1 of this series.  The OVER is now 4-1-1 in the last six meetings.

Sean Burke is 2-3 with a 3.72 ERA in 12 games including 10 starts for the White Sox this season.  He is backed by a poor Chicago bullpen with a 5.19 ERA on the road this season.

Andrew Painter is the weakest link in Philadelphia's rotation.  He is 1-6 with a 5.74 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 11 starts this season, allowing 34 earned runs and 81 base runners in 53 1/3 innings.

The White Sox are 16-5-1 OVER in their last 22 games overall going for 10 or more combined runs in 12 of those 22 games.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* MLB Saturday Afternoon Line Mistake on Orioles/Blue Jays OVER 8

The Baltimore Orioles are heating up at the plate scoring 5 runs or more in 10 of their last 14 games overall.  The Blue Jays are also heating up scoring 5 runs or more in four of their last seven games, and 3 runs or more in all seven.  This total of 8 is too short today.

Kyle Bradish is 3-6 with a 3.72 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 12 starts this season, including 1-3 with a 5.32 ERA and 2.03 ERA in five road starts.  He is backed by a terrible Baltimore bullpen with a 4.72 ERA on the season and a 5.79 ERA on the road.

The Blue Jays will make this a bullpen game and their bullpen is already taxed.  They will go with some combination of Spencer Miles and Braydon Fisher.  They allowed 13 runs to the Orioles yesterday and Toronto has now allowed 5 runs or more in five of their last seven games.

The OVER is 6-1 in the last six meetings between the Orioles and Blue Jays with 9 or more combined runs in six of those seven, and 11 or more in five of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

20* NL Central TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Reds/Cardinals OVER 9.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9.5 ticket between the Reds and Cardinals today.  Temps will be in the 80's with light winds blowing out to left-center in St. Louis.  The Reds are 38-23-1 OVER in all games this season.  These teams combined for 13 runs yesterday with a similar forecast, and it will be more of the same today.

Nick Lodolo is 2-1 with a 5.20 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in five starts for the Reds this season allowing 16 earned runs and 7 homers in 27 2/3 innings.  Lodolo has allowed 6 earned runs and 2 homers in 7 1/3 innings in his last two starts against St. Louis.  The Reds have one of the worst bullpens in baseball with a 5.11 ERA.

Matthew Liberatore is 3-3 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 12 starts this season allowing 30 earned runs, 10 homers and 93 base runners in 62 innings.  Liberatore is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three career starts against the Reds, allowing 7 earned runs and 4 homers in 14 innings.  

Both the Reds and Cardinals crush left-handed pitching hitting much better against southpaws than right-handers this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

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

It will be hot in Minnesota today and the ball should be flying out again like it was in Game 1 when the Royals and Twins combined for 5 homers and 14 runs in Game 1 of this series.  Both bullpens are taxed too with the Twins using seven different pitchers and the Royals using five in Game 1, plus a lot more bullpen action in Game 2.

These are two of the worst bullpens in baseball as it is with the Royals posting a 5.01 ERA and the Twins a 4.80 ERA on the season.  The Royals are heating up at the plate scoring 5.3 runs per game in their last seven games.  The Twins are 40-24-1 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 5.0 runs per game.

Luinder Avila is 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA and 1.71 WHIP this season allowing 13 earned runs and 45 base runners in 26 1/3 innings.  He has allowed 6 earned runs, 2 homers and 17 base runners in 8 innings in his two starts this season.

Joe Ryan has struggled of late allowing 4 earned runs and 2 homers in 6 innings of a 9-6 win over the White Sox in his last start.  Ryan has really not figured out the Royals, allowing 10 earned runs in 6 innings in his last two starts against them.  HIs last three starts against Kansas City all saw 13 or more combined runs and sailed OVER the total.

The OVER is 8-2-1 in Twins last 11 games overall with 10 or more combined runs in seven of their last 10 games.  The OVER is 5-3 in Royals last eight games overall with 9 or more combined runs in five of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* Mariners/Tigers AL Early ANNIHILATOR on OVER 8.5

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 8.5 ticket between the Mariners and Tigers today.  Temps will be in the 70's with 15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center in Detroit.  It was a similar forecast yesterday when these teams combined for 10 runs.

Both the Mariners and Tigers are heating up at the plate.  That's especially the case for Detroit, which has scored 7 runs or more in four straight.  The Tigers are 3-0-1 OVER in their last four games overall.  The Mariners are 3-0 OVER in their last three games overall.

Bryce Miller will make just his 4th start of the season for the Mariners.  He allowed 2 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 9-3 loss to the Tigers in his last start against them.  Keider Montero is 2-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 11 starts this season and 2-2 with a 3.89 ERA in seven home starts.  Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

20* Interleague TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Angels/Dodgers OVER 8

The Dodgers have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.2 runs per game.  The Angels have been respectable offensively scoring 4.4 runs per game, but they have one of the worst staffs in baseball allowing 5.2 runs per game.

The Angels are 5-1 OVER in their last six games overall finishing with 10 or more combined runs in five of those games, and 13 or more in four of them.  This total is too short for a game involving the Angels right now.

Reid Detmers figures to get the bulk of the innings for the Angels tonight.  He is 2-5 with a 4.76 ERA in 12 starts while allowing 36 earned runs in 68 innings.  Detmers has allowed 7 earned runs and 3 homers in 9 1/3 innings in his last two starts against the Dodgers.

Roki Sasaki has been a weak link in this Los Angeles rotation.  He is 3-3 with a 4.59 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 10 starts this season, allowing 26 earned runs and 10 homers in 51 innings.  The Angels have already seen him once this season which will be an advantage for them.

The OVER is 7-1 in the last eight meetings between the Dodgers and Angels with 10 or more combined runs in seven of those eight meetings.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* MLB Friday Late-Night BAILOUT on Nationals/DBacks OVER 9

The Washington Nationals are a dead nuts OVER team.  They are 38-22-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.4 runs per game.  The Diamondbacks are scoring 4.5 runs per game and allowing 4.4 runs per game this season.

Foster Griffin is 6-2 with a 3.76 ERA in 12 starts for the Nationals this season.  But he does have a propensity to give up the long ball, allowing 13 homers in 67 innings this season.  Griffin has really struggled of late, allowing 17 earned runs and 7 homers in 20 1/3 innings in his last four starts.  And he is backed by a very bad Washington bullpen with a 4.76 ERA this season.

Merrill Kelly is 5-3 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in nine starts this season.  He is 2-1 with a 6.23 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in three home starts.  He has allowed 30 earned runs and 10 homers in 53 1/3 innings this season. He allowed 6 runs, 4 earned, and 2 homers in 5 innings of a 9-7 loss to the Nationals in his last start against them.

The OVER is 7-2 in the last nine meetings between the Nationals and Diamondbacks with 9 or more combined runs in seven of those nine meetings.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* MLB Friday UPSET SHOCKER on New York Mets +116

The Mets are getting healthier and playing some of their best baseball of the season right now.  They are 5-2 in their last seven games overall while scoring 6 runs or more in four of their last six games.  The Padres are going through their worst stretch of the season, going 1-9 in thier last 10 games overall while scoring 4 runs or fewer in all nine losses, and 2 runs or fewer in seven of their last 11 games.

I love the spot for the Mets tonight.  They have the rest advantage after having yesterday off, while the Padres just completed a 6-game road trip that ended in Philadelphia last night.  Now they have to fly back across country and try and get back up off the mat for the Mets.

I love what I've seen from Christian Scott this season.  He is 1-0 with a 2.97 ERA in seven starts with 38 K's in 30 1/3 innings and only one homer allowed.  He is backed by a very good New York bullpen with a 3.23 ERA this season.

Michael King has been solid at 4-4 with a 3.18 ERA in 12 starts this season.  But King has struggled in his last two starts, allowing 9 earned runs, 2 homers and 15 base runners in 9 2/3 innings.  And King has really struggled against the Mets, allowing 13 runs, 9 earned, and 5 homers in 8 innings in his last two starts against them.  He is 0-2 with an 8.48 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in three career starts against New York.  Bet the Mets Friday.

20* NL TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Reds/Cardinals OVER 9

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 9 ticket between the Reds and Cardinals tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with double-digit winds blowing out to left-center in St. Louis.  The Reds are 37-23-1 OVER in all games this season.

Brady Singer is 2-5 with a 6.18 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 11 starts this season while allowing 16 homers in 51 innings with only 36 K's.  Singer is 0-3 with a 7.67 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in six road starts, allowing 23 earned runs and 7 homers in 27 innings.  He is backed by a poor Cincinnati bullpen with a 4.96 ERA this season.

Kyle Leahy is 5-3 with a 4.25 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 11 starts for the Cardinals this season.  He has allowed 26 earned runs, 8 homers and 86 base runners in 55 innings with just 46 K's. Leahy allowed 5 earned runs and 2 homers in 5 innings of a 7-6 loss to the Reds in his lone start against them this season.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* MLB Friday Night Line Mistake on Pirates/Braves OVER 8

Two of the best offenses in the National League square off in Game 1 of this series in Hot-Lanta tonight.  It will indeed be hot with temps in the 80's at first pitch, so the ball should be flying out.  This total of 8 is too low for these two offenses up against these two starting pitchers and bullpens.

The Pirates are one of the most improved offenses in baseball scoring 5.2 runs per game this season.  They have scored a total of 49 runs in their last six games for an average of 8.2 runs per game.  The OVER is 8-1 in Pirates last nine games overall with 9 or more combined runs in eight of those nine games.  The Braves are scoring 5.2 runs per game this season as well.

Mitch Keller is 5-2 with a 4.35 ERA in 12 starts for the Pirates this season.  He is 1-2 with a 6.26 ERA in five starts at night.  Keller is 1-3 with a 7.31 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in seven career starts against the Braves, allowing 26 earned runs and 7 homers in 32 innings.  He is 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA and 2.46 WHIP in four career starts in Atlanta, allowing 20 earned runs, 5 homers and 41 base runners in 16 2/3 innings.  He is backed by a very tired Pittsburgh bullpen.

Martin Perez is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball.  He's nowhere near as good as his numbers to this point, especially since he's a contact pitcher with just 42 K's in 51 2/3 innings.  He is 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in three career home starts against the Pirates, allowing 7 earned runs, 2 homers and 25 base runners in 16 1/3 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* MLB Friday Night BLOWOUT on Tampa Bay Rays -130

The Tampa Bay Rays will be highly motivated for a victory after going through their worst stretch of the season.  They have gone 2-8 in their last 10 games overall while getting just one day off during this stretch.  They now have a day off coming into this one to regroup, and I expect them to respond like one of the best teams in baseball, which is exactly what they are at 36-23 this season.

The Rays have a big advantage on the mound tonight.  Drew Rasmussen is 4-2 with a 3.36 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 11 starts this season, including 1-1 with a 3.13 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in six road starts.  Rasmussen is 3-0 with a 2.54 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in five career starts against the Marlins, allowing just 8 earned runs in 28 1/3 innings, including one earned run in 12 innings on the road.

Opener Ryan Gusto has posted a 9.00 ERA this season.  He allowed 2 earned runs and 7 base runners in 3 2/3 innings in his only previous action against Tampa Bay.  The Marlins will make this a bullpen game.  Bet the Rays Friday.

15* MLB Friday Total DOMINATOR on Rays/Marlins OVER 7.5

The Marlins are 110-78 OVER in all home games over the last three seasons.  They are 75-45 OVER as a home underdog and 61-34 OVER when the total is 7 to 7.5 over that same time frame.  This total of 7.5 is too short tonight.

The Rays are capable of covering this total on their own against opener Ryan Gusto and this poor Miami bullpen.  The Rays are scoring 4.6 runs per game this season and are ready to break out after a recent slump, and I think they do just that tonight.

Drew Rasmussen was due some regression and it hit him hard in his last start.  He allowed 5 earned runs in 4 innings of a 14-3 loss to the Angels.  He has allowed 4 earned runs and 16 base runners in 11 1/3 innings in his last two starts against the Marlins, who have already seen him once this season which will be to their advantage.  The Rays have a poor bullpen with a 4.62 ERA this season and a 4.87 ERA on the road.

The Rays are 5-1-1 OVER in their last six games overall with 8 or more combined runs in six of those seven games.  The Marlins are 6-2-1 OVER in their last nine games overall with 9 or more combined runs in six of those.  The OVER is 3-0 in three meetings between the Marlins and Rays this season with 9 or more combined runs in all three.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

15* AL PLAY OF THE DAY on Orioles/Blue Jays OVER 8

The Baltimore Orioles are heating up at the plate scoring 5 runs or more in nine of their last 13 games overall.  The Blue Jays are also heating up scoring 5 runs or more in four of their last six games, and 3 runs or more in all six.  This total of 8 is too short tonight.

Brandon Young is 4-8 with a 5.01 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 20 career starts in the big leagues.  He has allowed 56 earned runs and 17 homers in 100 2/3 innings.  He is backed by a poor, banged up Baltimore bullpen with a 4.77 ERA on the season and a 5.94 ERA on the road.

Trey Yesavage is a nice young talent and could be a great starter soon.  But he has the disadvantage of having to face the Orioles for a 2nd time in a week.  He allowed 9 base runners in 5 innings of a 6-5 loss to the Orioles on May 30th.  Yesavage has now allowed 6 earned runs in 11 2/3 innings in his last two starts coming in.  

The OVER is 5-1 in the last six meetings between the Orioles and Blue Jays with 9 or more combined runs in five of those six, and 11 or more in four of them.  Bet the OVER in this game Friday.

20* NL West TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Dodgers/Diamondbacks OVER 9

The Dodgers are scoring 5.3 runs per game with one of the best offenses in baseball.  The Diamondbacks are scoring 4.5 runs per game with a solid offense but suspect pitching staff.  This total of 9 is too short tonight.

Justin Wrobleski is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball.  He is 7-2 with a 2.87 ERA this season despite having just 40 K's in 62 2/3 innings.  He is a contact pitcher and his stuff is not good, so it's only a matter of time before he gets rocked.  The Diamondbacks are a great candidate to rock him considering they are hitting .288 and slugging .467 against left-handed starters this season.  He allowed 10 earned runs and 2 homers in 5 1/3 innings in his only previous action against Arizona.

The Dodgers are capable of covering this total on their own against Ryne Nelson and this Arizona bullpen.  Nelson is 2-4 with a 4.82 ERA in 12 starts this season while allowing 15 homers.  He is 1-2 with a 5.97 ERA in six home starts, allowing 21 earned runs and 7 homers in 31 2/3 innings.  He has allowed 7 earned runs and 3 homers in 10 2/3 innings in his last two starts against the Dodgers.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

15* MLB Thursday Night Line Mistake on Pirates/Astros OVER 8.5

The Pittsburgh Pirates have one of the most improved offenses in baseball.  They are now scoring 5.2 runs per game this season after scoring 9 runs or more in four consecutive games coming in.  The Houston Astros are scoring 4.6 runs per game and allowing 5.1 runs per game profiling as an OVER team.

Both bullpens are taxed after combining for 16 runs in Game 1 and 20 runs in Game 2 of this series.  It should be another slug fest tonight, and both starting pitchers likely won't be able to go very deep in this game.

Kai-Wei Teng has not been able to go deep in games for the Astros, so their already tired bullpen will get exposed again today.  The Astros have the worst bullpen in baseball with a 5.33 ERA this season.  Their bullpen went 4 innings in Game 1 and 5 innings in Game 2 using five different relievers last night.

Jared Jones will be making his 2nd start of the season as he comes back from injury.  His first did not go well as he allowed 5 earned runs and 2 homers in 4 1/3 innings of a 6-5 win over the Twins.  He only threw 77 pitches in that game and will be on a pitch count again tonight.  

The Pirates are 8-0 OVER in their last eight games overall with 9 or more combined runs in all eight games, and 11 or more in seven of them.  The Astros are 7-2-1 OVER in their last 10 games overall finishing with 9 or more combined runs in seven of those 10 games.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on A's/Cubs OVER 10

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 10 ticket between the A's and Cubs tonight.  Temps will be in the 80's with 10-15 MPH winds blowing out to left-center at hitter-friendly Wrigley Field in this one.  Runs and home runs should be plentiful as a result.

The A's should stay hot at the plate against Shota Imanaga, who has allowed 20 earned runs and 8 homers in 15 2/3 innings in his last three starts.  And the Cubs should get their bats going against JT Ginn, who is one of the biggest regression candidates in baseball.  Bet the OVER in this game Thursday.

15* MLB Wednesday Night Line Mistake on Rangers/Cardinals OVER 8

The Rangers are 4-1 OVER in their last five games overall and really starting to rake.  They have scored 6 runs or more in four of their last five games overall.  The Cardinals really profile as an OVER team scoring 4.3 runs per game and allowing 4.5 runs per game this season.

The OVER is 6-2 in the last eight meetings between the Cardinals and Rangers with 9 or more combined runs in six of those eight meetings.  That includes a 7-4 win by the Rangers and 11 combined runs on 22 hits last night.  It should be another slug fest tonight given the profile of both starting pitchers.

MacKenzie Gore has been awful on the road this season, going 1-4 with a 5.81 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in seven starts away from home while allowing 20 earned runs in 31 innings.  Gore does not enjoy facing the Cardinals, going 1-2 with a 7.00 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in five career starts against them, allowing 21 earned runs, 6 homers and 47 base runners in 27 innings.

Andre Pallante is 4-4 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 10 starts for the Cardinals this season.  He has been at his worst at home, going 1-4 with a 5.52 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in six starts, allowing 19 earned runs, 5 homers and 50 base runners in 31 innings.  Pallante allowed 3 earned runs and 9 base runners in 5 innings in his lone career start against Texas.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on Blue Jays/Braves OVER 8

The Braves have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.3 runs per game this season.  The Braves are 10-4-1 OVER in their last 15 games overall with 8 or more combined runs in 11 of those 15 games, and 9 or more in 10 of them.  This total of 8 is too short for a game involving the Braves right now.

The Blue Jays have gotten a lot healthier and are starting to rake because of it.  They have scored 5 runs or more in three of their last four, and six of their last 11 games overall.  Both offenses should have success against these two starting pitchers tonight.

Patrick Corbin has been one of the worst starters in baseball over the last handful of seasons.  He isn't magically fixed in Toronto despite having some of the best numbers of his career to this point with a 3.65 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 10 starts.  This will be one of his toughest tests of the season.  Corbin is 5-12 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 21 career starts against the Braves, and 1-7 with a 4.90 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 12 career road starts in Atlanta.

Grant Holmes is 3-2 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 11 starts for the Braves this season.  He has a propensity to give up the long ball allowing 25 earned runs and 11 homers in 57 innings.  The Blue Jays will do enough damage on him to aid us in cashing this OVER 8 ticket tonight.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* MLB Wednesday Night BLOWOUT on Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 (+105)

The Padres are 1-7 in their last eight games overall while scoring an average of just 2.6 runs per game during this stretch.  It will not get any easier for them tonight facing arguably the best starter in baseball in Cristopher Sanchez.

Sanchez is 6-2 with a 1.47 ERA in 12 starts this season and 4-1 with a 0.85 ERA in eight home starts.  He carries a franchise record 44 2/3-inning scoreless streak into tonight's game and will be highly motivated to keep it rolling to try and break the MLB record.  I like his chances considering he's 4-0 with a 0.95 ERA in his last four starts against the Padres, allowing just 3 earned runs in 28 1/3 innings.

Walker Buehler is an absolute gas can.  He is 3-3 with a 4.88 ERA in 11 starts this season.  Buehler has been really poor away from Petco Park, posting a 8.04 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in four road starts while allowing 14 earned runs and 31 base runners in 15 2/3 innings.  He is 0-2 with a 4.82 ERA in five career starts against the Phillies, allowing 20 runs, 15 earned, and 6 homers in 28 innings.  Bet the Phillies on the Run Line Wednesday.

20* MLB Wednesday Early ANNIHILATOR on Marlins/Nationals OVER 8

Two dead nuts OVER teams square off in Game 3 of this series today.  The Nationals are 39-20-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.3 runs per game and allowing 5.4 runs per game.  The Marlins are 38-21-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.3 runs per game and allowing 4.6 runs per game.  This total of 8 is too short for Game 3 today.

Max Meyer has big home/road splits this season.  He has posted a 4.78 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in five road starts.  He allowed 5 earned runs in 6 innings of a 9-7 loss to the Mets in his last start.  He allowed 5 earned runs and 2 homers in 5 2/3 innings in his last start against the Nationals as well.  This Miami bullpen has a 4.85 ERA on the road this season.

The Nationals will make this a bullpen game starting with Andrew Alvarez, who has posted a 4.02 ERA allowing 7 earned runs in 15 2/3 innings in relief this season.  The Nationals have one of the worst bullpens in baseball with a 4.74 ERA on the season and a 5.30 ERA at home.

The OVER is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings with 10 or more combined runs in seven of those 10 meetings.  Bet the OVER in this game Wednesday.

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on A's/Cubs OVER 7.5

This total of 7.5 has been adjusted down too much for the winds blowing in at Fenway Park tonight.  These two starters will still get rocked.  The OVER is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings between the A's and Cubs with 8 or more combined runs in eight of those 10 meetings, and 11 or more combined runs in seven of them.

Rookie Gage Jump will be making just his 2nd career start.  The first did not go well as he allowed 4 earned runs and 10 base runners in 5 innings to the Mariners.  The Cubs are scoring 4.7 runs per game this season with one of the better offenses in the National League.  The A's have a 4.49 ERA as a bullpen this season with one of the worst units in baseball.

Jameson Taillon is 2-4 with a 5.37 ERA in 11 starts for the Cubs this season.  He has allowed a whopping 19 homers in 60 1/3 innings already.  Taillon has allowed 16 earned runs and 8 homers in 14 2/3 innings in his last three starts.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* Blue Jays/Braves Interleague ANNIHILATOR on OVER 7.5

The Braves have one of the best offenses in baseball scoring 5.3 runs per game this season.  The Braves are 10-3-1 OVER in their last 14 games overall with 8 or more combined runs in 11 of those 14 games, and 9 or more in 10 of them.  This total of 7.5 is too short for a game involving the Braves right now.

The Blue Jays have gotten a lot healthier and are starting to rake because of it.  They have scored 5 runs or more in three straight and six of their last 10 games overall.  The OVER is 3-0 in their last three games going for 11 or more combined runs in all three.

Kevin Gausman is 4-3 with a 3.26 ERA in 12 starts and 2-1 with a 3.45 ERA in five road starts.  But this will be one of his toughest tests of the season against Atlanta.  He has allowed 5 earned runs and 2 homers in 12 innings in his last two starts against the Braves.

Bryce Elder has finally come back down to reality after a great start to the season.  He allowed 5 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings of an 8-0 loss to the Red Sox in his last start.  He allowed 2 earned runs in 5 innings in his lone career start against Toronto.

The forecast will aid us in cashing this OVER 7.5 ticket tonight as well with double-digit winds blowing out to right field in Atlanta. Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

20* NL Tuesday Total DOMINATOR on Marlins/Nationals OVER 9

Two dead nuts OVER teams square off in Game 2 of this series tonight.  The Nationals are 38-20-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 5.4 runs per game and allowing 5.4 runs per game.  The Marlins are 37-21-3 OVER in all games this season scoring 4.2 runs per game and allowing 4.6 runs per game.  This total of 8 is too short for Game 1 tonight.

Due to so many injuries to their rotation, the Miami Marlins will make this a bullpen game starting with Lake Bachar.  Their bullpen has posted a 4.89 ERA on the road this season, and I expect the Nationals to hang a big number on them today.

The Marlins should crush Miles Mikolas, who is one of the worst starters in baseball.  Mikolas is 1-4 with a 5.72 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 12 games this season, including 1-2 with a 7.66 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in five home games allowing 19 earned runs and 7 homers in 22 1/3 innings.  He is backed by one of the worst bullpens in baseball with the Nationals having a 4.64 ERA overall and a 5.12 ERA at home.

The OVER is 6-3 in the last nine meetings with 10 or more combined runs in six of those nine meetings.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.

15* Padres/Phillies NL ANNIHILATOR on OVER 8

With both the Padres and Phillies trending under recently, we are getting value with the OVER 8 in Game 1 of this series tonight.  I think both lineups will have their way with these two overrated starters, who both offenses saw less than a week ago in San Diego and will give them an advantage getting to see them again.

Aaron Nola is one of the most overrated starters in baseball.  He is 3-4 with a 5.72 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 11 starts this season, allowing 36 earned runs and 10 homers in 56 2/3 innings.  Nola is 0-1 with a 5.95 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in four home starts.

Randy Vasquez is 5-3 with a 3.28 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 11 starts for the Padres this season.  He has allowed 7 earned runs and 4 homers in 10 innings in his last two starts, the last of which came against Philadelphia.  Vasquez does not enjoy facing the Phillies, going 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA and 2.30 WHIP in two career starts against them, allowing 10 earned runs, 5 homers and 23 base runners in 10 innings.  Bet the OVER in this game Tuesday.
