Philadelphia +1.5 

Probable Pitchers: PHI - D. Covey-R vs ATL - S. Strider-R

The Phillies and Braves battle on Sunday Night Baseball and we're on the Phillies here on the RL.

Philadelphia has taken 2 out of the first 3 games in this series and they aren't shy about coming at one of the favorites in the National League.

The Phillies have done it with timely hitting and strong pitching, as they're getting various different against Arizona last time out.

Some trends to note. Phillies are 26-10 in their last 36 during game 4 of a series. Phillies are 7-3 in their last 10 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. Phillies are 9-4 in their last 13 games following a win.

Back Philadelphia RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

Probable Pitchers: OAK - J. Sears-L vs SEA - L. Gilbert-R

Thursday we get the (10-41, 5-21 on the road, 1-9 L10) Oakland A's taking on the Seattle Mariners. (25-24, 13-12 at home, 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get JP Sears (0-3, 4.99 ERA, 51 SO) taking on Logan Gilbert (2-2, 3.81 ERA, 63 SO).  

Seattle is starting to pick things up finally.

The M’s sit 1 game above the .500 mark and go for the sweep today of the A’s. Oakland continues to be atrocious as they’re getting very little production all around. 

Seattle sends out Gilbert, who is 1-0 with an era of just 3.53 in eight career outings against Oakland. He comes in after tossing a quality start against the Braves, going 6 innings, allowing just 2 runs in the process. 

JP Sears counters him and he is still in search of win number 1. The LH is 0-3 with an ERA of nearly 5 thus far. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Athletics are 1-7 in the last 8 vs. the M's, and 16-35 in the last 51. Plus, the A's are 10-41 in their last 51 overall, and 0-4 in their last 4 during game 4 of a series. The Mariners are 12-2 in their last 14 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and 21-7 in their last 28 during game 4 of a series.

Back the M's on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB RL Play

Reds +1.5

Probable Pitchers: STL - S. Matz-L vs CIN - B. Lively-R 

Wednesday we get the (22-28, 11-13 on the road, 7-3 L10) St. Louis Cardinals taking on the Cincinnati Reds. (20-28, 13-13 at home, 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Steven Matz (0-5, 5.05 ERA, 43 SO) taking on Ben Lively (1-2, 2.45 ERA, 10 SO). 

The Reds have been a scrappy team and they have value on the RL.

Cincinnati has found ways to stay in games and really make things miserable for opposing teams at times. 

Steven Matz gets the ball for the Cards, as he is 0-5 with a 5.05 ERA. The LH has struggled with command and allowing early runs, which has not allowed him to get deep into games. 

Lively counters for the Reds with an ERA of just 2.45. He allowed only 2 runs over 5.2 innings of work against a good Yankees lineup last time out. He is a reliever who has stepped into this rotation and given the Reds good chances every time he takes the ball. 

Some trends to note, the Cardinals are 3-7 in their L10 vs. a team with a losing record, and are 2-5 in their L7 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Lastly, the Cardinals are 20-41 in their L61 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. On the other side, the Reds are 8-0 in their L8 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back the Reds on the runline +1.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* MLB RL Play

Cardinals +1.5

Probable Pitchers: LAD - J. Urias-L vs STL - A. Wainwright-R 

The LA Dodgers (28-16, 11-9 on the road, 8-2 L10) hit the road for Game 1 vs. the Cardinals (18-26, 8-14 at home, 8-2 L10) on Thursday. Pitching we get Julio Urias (5-3, 3.61 ERA, 52 SO) taking on Adam Wainwright (0-0, 7.20 ERA, 7 SO).

St. Louis is starting to figure things out here. They come in winners in 5 of their last 6 as they open this series with LA.

Adam Wainwright has gone 5.0 innings in both of his starts this season and he's a vet who has seen plenty of this Dodgers lineup throughout his career.

Urias counters with a 3+ ERA entering Thursday. The LH is just 1-2 on the road this season and has an ERA of 6.10. He's struggled away from Dodgers Stadium and will have a tough lineup to deal with that is playing with a ton of confidence right now. 

Some trends to note, the Cardinals are 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game, are 5-1 in their last 6 overall, lastly they're 41-18 in their last 59 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back the Cards on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* MLB RL Play

Seattle -1.5

Probable Pitchers: SEA - L. Castillo-R vs BOS - N. Pivetta-R

Seattle (21-20) and Boston (22-20) meet in Game 2 on Tuesday. We're on the Mariners RL after they dominated 10-1 Monday night. Seattle is catching fire and now with their ace on the mound, there is a ton of value with them.

Luis Castillo allowed 3 runs in 5.0 innings last time out against the Rangers, but he still has been extremely consistent. Sitting with an ERA of just 2.70, he has been dominant and the backbone to this rotation. Pivetta counters, with a 6.23 ERA of his own. The RH allowed 7 runs last time out to the Braves and will have his hands full with this lineup.

Some trends to note. Mariners are 14-4 in their last 18 vs. American League East. Mariners are 17-6 in their last 23 Tuesday games. Mariners are 10-4 in their last 14 overall.

It wasn't pretty before the M's came to town after getting swept at home by St. Louis, the Red Sox have now lost for the sixth time in 7 games, after their 8 game run.

Back Seattle RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

Nationals +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Peterson (L) vs. Corbin (R)

The N.Y. Mets (20-21, 13-13 on the road, 4-6 L10) are in Washington again to take on the Nationals (17-23, 7-14 at home, 5-5 L10) on Monday. David Peterson (1-5, 7.68 ERA, 40 SO) takes on Patrick Corbin (1-5, 4.87 ERA, 30 SO). On Monday, the teams will conclude their four-game series in Washington, with the Nationals aiming to even out the series.

In his last game out despite Corbin (1-5) giving up three runs (2 earned) on 8 hits, striking out 3 without issuing a walk over 6 innings, he suffered a loss against the Giants on Tuesday. This year he holds a 4.87 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and a 30:9 K:BB ratio across 8 starts, totaling 44.1 innings. Notably, in the game prior to that, he pitched a 1-hitter against the Cubs, making it into the 7th inning. Last game out Peterson struggled in place of Scherzer taking on the Reds. He allowed 4 earned runs on 7 hits and 2 walks over just 3.1 innings.

Some trends to note, the Mets are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter, and are 1-6 in their last 7 games with the total set at 7-8.5, plus they are 0-6 in their last 6 games following a win. On the other side the Nationals are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss, lastly they're 7-1 in their last 8 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

The Mets are underachieving, and the Nats are exactly who we thought they were. 

Back the Nats on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Gilbert (R) vs. Wentz (L)

The Mariners (20-19, 10-7 on the road, 7-3 L10) take on the Tigers (17-21, 8-9 at home, 6-4 L10) Sunday afternoon.

In the previous game, Logan Gilbert (1-2) suffered a loss despite an impressive performance, conceding 2 runs on 3 hits and 1 walk in 6.2 innings against Texas. He achieved season-high stats with 10 strikeouts, showcasing his reliability. Unfortunately, the Mariners' offense lacked a heartbeat in this game. The bats were VERY flat. Gilbert stands out as an exceptional young pitcher in MLB, boasting an impressive 1.07 WHIP and striking out 40 batters in just 33.2 innings. Conversely, Wentz (1-3) secured a victory for the Tigers, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits in 5.2 innings. He recorded 5 strikeouts and 3 walks in his last outing vs. Cleveland. 

Seattle has won the first two games of this series and their momentum is starting to turn. Their bats have mostly been silent thus far in 2023, and they're among the lead leaders in strikeouts. But, we're going back to the well again with this play on the M's runline Sunday vs. the Tigers. Rodriguez is heating up, as is Hernandez. Kelenic is among the lead leaders in hitting this year, and France continually gets on base. This lineup is starting to turn the page.

Some trends to note, M's are 28-11 in the last 39 vs. the Tigers, plus the Mariners are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and are 6-0 in their last 6 road games. On the other side the Tigers are 1-4 in their last 5 games after losing the first 2 games of a series, and lastly they're 7-15 in their last 22 games following a loss.

Back the M's on the runline. They're 5-0 in their L5 vs. the Tigers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* MLB RL Play (Small Play)

Mariners RL

Probable Pitchers: Miller (R) vs. Faedo (R)

Game 2 in Detroit on Saturday between the Mariners (19-19, 9-7 on the road, 7-3 L10) and the Tigers (17-20, 8-8 at home, 7-3 L10). On the bumps we have Bryce Miller making his third big league start. (1-0, 0.75 ERA, 15 SO) taking on Alex Faedo (0-0, 3.86 ERA, 1 SO)

In his MLB season debut on Sunday, Faedo made his first start in the majors and gave up three runs (two earned) in 4.2 innings against the Cardinals. Bryce Miller (1-0) delivered an impressive performance last game out. He allowed only 2 hits and 1 walk over 6 scoreless innings on Sunday, striking out 5 batters and securing a victory against Houston. Prior to that game, in his first MLB appearance against Oakland, Miller showcased his skills by pitching striking out 10 batters, surrendered just 1 run, and allowed a mere 2 baserunners in 6 innings, although the game ended in a no-decision against Oakland.

Some trends to note, Mariners are 4-0 in their L4 road games vs. a team with a losing record, and are 5-0 in their last 5 road games Lastly, they are 27-11 in the last 38 vs. the Tigers. On the other side the Tigers are 9-23 in their last 32 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game, plus they're 3-7 in their last 10 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Back the M's, they are 4-0 in the L4 meetings in Detroit. Bryce Miller looks like the next big thing. He's been outstanding.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB RL Play

Rangers -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Perez (L) vs. Waldichuk (L)

On the bumps tonight we get Martin Perez (4-1, 3.86 ERA, 28 SO) taking on Ken Waldichuk (1-2, 7.25 ERA, 31 SO). The Texas Rangers come into this game 23-14, 11-8 on the road, and 7-3 in their L10. While the A's are 3-31, 3-16 at home, and 3-7 in their L10.

AL West foes clash as Texas and Oakland meet on Friday night. We're on the Rangers here, laying the RL.

Oakland has been a mess this season and things just keep finding ways to get worse for them. They have struggled with both hitting and their entire pitching staff, all while they are getting set to move to Las Vegas.

Texas sends out Martin Perez, who is looking to bounce back from his worst start of the season. Remove his last outing and he has allowed 3 runs or less in every outing. Perez is 2-1 away from home here in 2023, with plenty of experience pitching on the road as 5 of his starts have been away from Arlington.

Waldichuk counters him for Oakland. He went just 5.0 innings last time out allowing 4 runs against the Royals. He has an ERA of 4.96 at home this season as well. 

Some trends to note, Rangers are 5-1 in their last 6 overall, are 5-1 in their last 6 road games, and are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Oakland. On the other side the Athletics are 0-7 in their last 7 vs. American League West, are 13-39 in their last 52 overall, finally they're 15-36 in their last 51 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back the Rangers -1.5, they're 5-2 in the L7 vs. the A's.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Friday 8* MLB RL Play

Cleveland -1.5 +110

Cleveland (16-19) and Detroit (17-19) clash in Game 2 of this series.

We're on Cleveland here, laying the RL. 

The Guardians fell in the series opener and now look to rebound with their ace on the mound. Bieber is set up for these kinds of games as the Guards need to start figuring things out. Offensively, they have been so inconsistent, but you can feel the confidence is still there. Josh Bell said the best is yet to come for this team following yesterday's loss and he will look to lead them here on Tuesday night. 

Expect Bieber to set the tone and for Cleveland to come out making Lorenzen work. They're familiar with him from his days with the Reds and should be able to rack his pitch count up early.

Last game out, a rare off night for Shane, during a 4-3 loss to the Yankees in extra innings on Wednesday, Bieber gave up two runs on five hits and one walk over eight innings. He managed to strike out four, but his performance did not affect the decision. Expect a bounceback tonight.

Some trends to note. Guardians are 15-5 in their last 20 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. Guardians are 30-14 in their last 44 vs. American League Central. Guardians are 17-8 in their last 25 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Back Cleveland RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB RL Play

Yankees -1.5

Probable Pitchers: OAK - J. Sears-L vs NYY - N. Cortes-L

Oakland (8-27) and New York (18-17) open a series in the Bronx on Monday. This is just what the Yankees need. They take on an Oakland team that just has absolutely nothing right now.

New York has battled injuries and has struggled with finding consistency. Taking on a struggling and reeling A's team should be able to get them going. Look for Cortes to set the tone here, as he has been solid thus far at home. He comes into play logging 18.0 innings inside Yankee stadium, allowing just 6 runs.

Some trends to note. Athletics are 0-5 in the last 5 meetings in New York. Athletics are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings. Yankees are 67-32 in their last 99 home games. Yankees are 46-22 in their last 68 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Kirby (R) vs. Rucinski (R)

The Seattle Mariners (14-16, 7-7 on the road, 5-5 L10) continue to work the Athletics (6-25, 3-14 at home, 2-8 in their L10) bullpen in this series with a big win in extra's last night, and are starting to look like a team on a roll with Julio Rodriguez coming back from injury. They put up all those runs in the 10th without their hottest hitter Jarred Kelenic who was tossed earlier in the game. 

This afternoon we get George Kirby (2-2, 2.93) vs. Drew Rucinski. Kirby, 25, was 1-0 and carted a 4.43 ERA in 4 starts in 2022 vs. the A's as a rookie. On Thursday, despite pitching 8 innings and striking out 7 batters, Kirby suffered a tough loss as he allowed 1 run on 4 hits and a walk during the game against Philadelphia. His ERA was reduced to 2.93 while maintaining an impressive 0.95 WHIP and a remarkable K:BB ratio of 24:2.

Some trends to note, the Mariners are 5-2 in their last 7 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game, and are 35-16 in their L51 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Head to head the Mariners are 25-8 in the L33 meetings, and 13-4 in the last 17 meetings in Oakland.

Back the Mariners on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB RL Play

Tigers +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Verlander (R) vs. Rodriguez (L)

Detroit (12-17) and New York (16-15) meet on Thursday in the series finale. 

Detroit swept a doubleheader from the Mets on Tuesday night as right now this Mets team is struggling. They have had issues with both timely hitting and digging themselves into deep holes early with their pitching.

Justin Verlander gets the nod against his old ball club here, coming back from injury. He'll be on a pitch count as well, which may not be the best with the way the Tigers are making hitters work. 

Look for them to rack up his pitch count early and lean on Rodriguez, who has been pitching like an ace. 

Some trends to note, Tigers are 5-0 in their last 5 interleague home games, 4-0 in their last 4 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter. Head to head between these two clubs, the Mets are 3-9 in the L12, and 1-5 in their L6 in Detroit. On the other side the Mets are 0-4 in their last 4 road games.

Back the Tigers on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 6* MLB RL Play

Reds +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Weaver (R) vs. Snell (L)

Cincinnati (12-16) and San Diego (15-14) meet on Monday to start a series.

This is a let down spot for the Padres. San Diego just comes back from sweeping the Mexican series and switching gears quickly to take on the Reds is going to be a tough task. Cincinnati is very scrappy as well, which adds value to this RL.

Snell has struggled this year, as he hasn't made it past the 5th inning in any of his 5 starts. The Reds will make him work and rack his pitch count up early.

Look for Cincinnati to keep this close throughout as they'll even have a chance to steal it outright. 

Some trends to note, Reds are 5-0 in their L5 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game, and are 5-1 in their L6 overall.

Back the Reds on the RL. Lastly, they are 4-1 in their last 5 during game 1 of a series. On the other side the Padres are 1-5 in their last 6 games with the total set at 7-8.5, and they're 2-5 in their last 7 during game 1 of a series.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB RL Play

Rockies +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Kelly (R) vs. Freeland (L)

The Arizona Diamondbacks (14-12, 5-5 L10, 6-6 on the road) will take on the Colorado Rockies (8-18, 5-5 L10, 3-7 at home) Friday night. On the hill, we've got two decent chuckers locked and loaded for a nice AL West clash.

Merrill Kelly (3.45 ERA) versus Kyle Freeland (4.32 ERA). Last games out for each, both pitchers have had their share of ups and downs this season. Kelly (1-3) stumbled in his last outing against the Padres, allowing four runs on three hits and five walks. However, he managed to strike out seven batters in five innings. Freeland (2-2) had a bumpy ride in his previous start, giving up three homers and four runs against the Phillies in six innings.

Kelly has never been great in Colorado, and Freeland is a better pitcher than he showed last game out when we also played on him. Plus with Colorado winning its first series of the season recently versus the Guardians they're starting to play better ball. 

Some trends to note, Rockies are 27-12 in their last 39 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. The Diamondbacks are 5-12 in the L17 meetings in the Mile High City, plus they are 0-6 in their last 6 games following an off day.

Back the Rockies on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Rangers RL

Probable Pitchers: Cole (R) vs. Heaney (L)

Thursday the New York Yankees (14-11, 5-4 on the road, 5-5 L10) take on the Texas Rangers (14-10, 8-4 at home, 6-4 L10). These two clubs open a 4-game set. Last game out the Yanks avoided a sweep and beat the Twins 12-6. For Texas they were swept by the Reds, but before that were playing some pretty good ball winning 6 of 7. We think they'll get back to home cooking versus the Yanks behind Andrew Heaney. 2-0 (1.13 ERA) L3 starts.

On Saturday, Heaney (2-1 4.34 ERA) secured a victory with a 2-1 score, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4 against the Athletics. In his recent performances, Heaney has only allowed 2 earned runs in the past 16 innings he pitched, following his early-season struggle when he conceded 7 runs in just 2.2 innings vs. the O's in early April. The lefty is on top of his game.

On the flip side, he will be facing Gerrit Cole who, despite giving up 4 hits and 2 walks, did not affect the outcome of the game last Saturday. Cole pitched 5.2 scoreless innings against the Blue Jays and managed to strike out 4. He's 5-4 with a 3.84 ERA in 13 starts vs. Texas.

Some trends to note, the Yanks are 1-4 in their L5, 1-4 in their L5 vs. a team with a winning record, and the Yankees are 0-6 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. On the flip side Texas is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record, and are 10-4 in their last 14 home games.

Back the Rangers on the RL. Heaney will keep the Yanks in check.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 8* MLB RL Play

Orioles RL

Probable Pitchers: Gibson (R) vs. Wentz (L)

Thursday the Baltimore Orioles (16-8, 7-4 on the road, 8-2 L10) take on the Detroit Tigers (9-14, 4-4 at home, 5-5 L10).

Baltimore knew their window would be opening up and they've shown it through the first month of the season so far. They come in a solid 8 games over .500 and have nice edge here. Winning 8 of their last 10, the O's are red hot and take on a Tigers team that is struggling.

Baltimore, if anything, should be able to out slug this Detroit side. They constantly put traffic on the bases and are making opposing pitchers work. Wentz was knocked round by Baltimore for 5 runs last time out as well, as his confidence is simply down here. 

Some trends to note, the O's are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter, 8-1 in their L9, and are 4-0 in their L4 vs. Detroit. On the other side the Tigers are 1-5 in their L6 games vs. a right-handed starter, and finally they're 6-20 in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back the Orioles on the RL with plus money.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 7* MLB RL Play

Guardians -1.5 

Probable Pitchers: COL - A. Gomber-L vs CLE - C. Quantrill-R

Cleveland (11-11) and Colorado (6-17) clash on Monday night in Cleveland.

We're on the Guardians here, laying the RL. Cleveland's offense woke up in a big way Sunday, putting up 7 runs. It was a welcoming sight as Josh Bell and Jose Ramirez both went yard in the process. 

They welcome in the Rockies, who are just 3-10 on the road this season. Gomber gets the ball, as he is 0-4 this year. He got rocked last time out and just has had nothing go right to start his season.

Cal Quantrill counters him and he has battled through his first few outings as well. He pitched very well last time out in Detroit and should be able to carry that momentum into play here.

Some trends to note. Rockies are 11-28 in their last 39 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Rockies are 3-8 in their last 11 vs. American League Central. Rockies are 7-19 in their last 26 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL Play

Cubs -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Stroman (R) vs. Waldichuk (L)

Chicago (9-6) and Oakland (3-14) meet in Game 2 of their weekday set.

Oakland is what we expected. From getting no fans in attendance, to not even allowing the opposing teams to use the normal broadcast booth because of a possum, this A's team is a mess. Their product on the field has been sub par to say the least and they're worth fading.

Chicago throttled them in the series opener and Stroman should have plenty of success here against them. Stroman is 2-1 with an ERA of just 1.00 so far, as he has been lights out. 

Left-hander Ken Waldichuk goes for Oakland, as he is 0-2 with an ERA of over 10. He's been knocked around and has struggled with his command. While he has been the only Oakland pitcher to reach the 6.0 inning mark, he is going to have his issues with this Cubs lineup that comes in with a lot of momentum. 

Some trends to note, the Cubs are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a left-handed starter, are 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a left-handed starter, and they're 4-1 in their last 5 road games, and 6-2 in their last 8 interleague games. Plus they're 8-3 in their last 11 overall. Head to head with the A's the Cubs are 6-1 in the L7.

Back the Cubs on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB RL Play

Padres +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Fried (L) vs. Weathers (L)

Atlanta (12-4) and San Diego (8-9) battle on Monday night.

We're on the Padres RL here, at home. San Diego has fared well in their recent head to head battle with the Braves. They've cashed in 4 of the last 5 overall against them and they come into play looking to turn things around. They should get up for an opponent like this, especially at home.

Ryan Weathers has logged 5.0 innings in both starts this year and has seen the Padres go 2-0 in those outings. He's always been a consistent pitcher, who comes out and will eat some innings and give his team a chance to win.

Fried counters, as he comes off the IL. Rust will play a role here for him, as well as limited pitch count. Look for him to struggle early on here and for San Diego to really try and make him work in the early portion of this game. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Padres are 4-1 vs. the Braves in their L5. Also, the Padres are 4-1 in their last 5 home games with the total set at 7-8.5, are 8-3 in their L11 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game, and are 9-4 in their L13 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lastly, the Braves are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. National League West.

Back the Padres on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Monday 7* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Gomber (L) vs. Gonzales (L)

Seattle (5-8) and Colorado (5-8) meet in Seattle on Friday night.

We're playing the Mariners RL here. 

Seattle avoided a sweep in Chicago and comes home with some momentum. After a 3-3 road swing on the east coast, they now will look to do some damage here against a lesser opponent. The Rockies have struggled away from home to score runs and Gonzales has been solid to start the year with two starts against Cleveland.

Gomber has been touched for 8 runs through his first two starts and this Seattle offense is starting to heat up themselves. Look for them to make him work and rack his pitch count up early. 

Some trends to note, the Rockies are 2-7 in their L9 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game, and are 1-4 in their L5 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter. On the other side the Mariners are 8-1 in their L9 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and finally are 30-14 in their L44 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back the M's on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Blue Jays -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Rodriguez (L) vs. Gausman (R)

Toronto (7-4) and Detroit (2-8) meet on Wednesday night. We're on the Jays RL here.

Detroit has been an ultimate fade this thus far, as this team hasn't been able to do much right. They've struggled to put together solid at bats and their starting pitching has been horrible.

Toronto's offense put up 9 runs against them Tuesday and they'll have plenty of success against Rodriguez here. He isn't a strike out pitcher and pitching to contact in this ballpark, against this offense, is never going to be a successful formula.

The Jays are the better team overall and this one should be lopsided. 

Some trends to note, Tigers are 0-5 in their last 5 overall, and they're 2-8 in their last 10 road games, plus they're 0-4 in their last 4 games with the total set at 7-8.5. On the other side the Jays are 6-1 in their last 7 overall, 4-1 in their L5 games following a win, 4-1 in their L5 in Toronto vs. Detroit, and are 5-1 vs. Detroit in their L6. 

Back the Jays on the RUNLINE.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Wednesday 8* MLB RL Play

Rockies +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Mikolas (R) vs. Freeland (L)

St. Louis (3-7) and Colorado (5-6) meet for Game 2 on Tuesday. Last game out the Rockies beat the Cardinals 7-4 on Monday. Tonight it's Kyle Freeland's turn. In the first game, he hurled 6 scoreless innings against San Diego, securing a win on Friday. Only allowing 3 hits and 1 walk. He carried his momentum into his next game, vs. Washington on Thursday. He pitched 6.2 innings without giving up a run, allowing only 4 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5. The left-hander is currently on a remarkable run of 12 consecutive scoreless innings.

Taking the mound for the Cardinals in this matchup is Miles Mikolas, who is set to make his third start of the season. Mikolas has struggled thus far, currently sporting a record of 0-1 with a less-than-ideal 9.64ERA and a 2.143WHIP. During his previous game, the Cardinals were defeated 5-2 by Atlanta, as he allowed 5 runs on 9 hits and 1 walk throughout 6 innings. 

Some trends to note, the Cardinals are 1-4 in their L5 road games, and are 1-6 in their last 7 overall. Plus they are 1-10 in their last 11 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. On the other side the Rockies are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. the NL Central, and head to head the Cardinals are 1-5 in the L6 games in Colorado.

Back the Rockies on the runline behind a strong outing from Freeland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Orioles -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Sears (L) vs. Gibson (R)

Oakland (2-7) and Baltimore (4-5) meet on Monday and we're on fading Oakland once again. 

The A's have been an ultimate fade this season. They were smacked around the by the Rays this past weekend as this team struggles in every which way. They have a very mediocre lineup at best and defensively they are already one of the worst in the league.

Baltimore is happy to not have to see the Yankees anymore either. The O's still put up a fight themselves this past weekend and they have had a ton of success against the AL West. Combine that with the A's struggling against the AL East themselves and there is value on Baltimore RL.

An early lead will really put Oakland in a hole. They aren't built to come from behind. 

Some trends to note, Athletics are 7-20 in their last 27 vs. AL East, 5-18 in their last 23 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game, are 11-40 in their last 51 during game 1 of a series, and are 1-6 in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing record. On the other side the Orioles are 6-2 in their last 8 games following a loss, also they're 19-7 in their last 26 during game 1 of a series, and finally they are 19-7 in their last 26 vs. AL West.

Seeing as how the A's have lost by at least 2 runs in 6 games thus far this year the runline has value. Back the O's -1.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Monday 8* MLB RL Play

Rays -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Kaprielian (R) vs. Rasmussen (R)

Tampa Bay (8-0) and Oakland (2-6) clash Sunday. 

Tampa Bay has remained perfect to start the season as they are doing everything right. They look for the sweep of the A's, who just are playing with zero confidence right now.

The Rays lineup is making pitchers work and racking up pitch counts early. They've been able to get starting pitchers out of the stretch in the early part of the game, putting traffic on the bases and getting plenty of scoring chances.

Rasmussen threw 6 shutout innings in his debut against the Nats and should have the same success against this weak Oakland lineup. 

Some trends to note, the Athletics are 0-5 in the L5 versus the Rays, are 1-6 in their last 7 overall. On the other side the Rays are 8-0 in their last 8 overall, also they're 5-0 in their last 5 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game, 7-0 in their last 7 games following a win, finally they're 6-0 in their last 6 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

Back the Rays yet again on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Sunday 7* MLB RL Play

Rays -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Fujinami (R) vs. Springs (L)

With a 9-5 victory over Oakland in the series opener on Friday, the Rays have begun their season with the best record in franchise history. Starting for Oakland is Japanese import Shintaro Fujinami. Fujinami signed with the A's this past January and the longtime Nippon league pitcher is getting his feet wet in MLB. He got lit up in his first game Saturday as he gave up 8 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks, despite striking out 4 batters in just 2.1 innings.

Springs had a remarkable 2022 season, going 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA in 33 games and 25 starts, making it a breakout year for him. On Sunday, during Tampa Bay's 5-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers, Springs (1-0, 0.00 ERA) exhibited A+ stuff.. He threw 81 pitches, striking out 12 and allowing only 1 walk in 6 innings. 

Some trends to note, the A's are 1-5 in their last 6 overall, are 6-17 in their last 23 vs. AL East, are 2-5 in their last 7 road games vs. a left-handed starter, plus they're 0-4 in their L4 vs. Tampa. Tampa are 7-0 in their L7, and they're 5-0 in their last 5 games with the total set at 7-8.5. They're also 37-17 in their last 54 home games, and lastly they are 5-0 in their L5 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.

The Rays win games by more than 4 runs! 

We're on the Rays here on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Saturday 6* MLB RL Play

Arizona +1.5

Probables: LAD - D. May-R vs ARI - M. Kelly-R

Arizona (3-3) and Los Angeles (4-2) meet on Thursday night. We're on Arizona here on the RL.

The Diamondbacks played well with the Dodgers in their opening series of the year. Now, they shift to Arizona where they'll have a nice crowd on hand here Friday night. 

The Diamondbacks send out Merrill Kelly, who had a short outing in a 2-1 win over LA last week. He threw just over 70 pitches and will be stretched out even more here. He's got strike out stuff and should be able to produce a lot of swings and misses here.

Dustin May counters Kelly, and these two matched up in the 2-1 Dbacks win. 

Some trends to note. Diamondbacks are 7-1 in their last 8 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. Diamondbacks are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back Arizona RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

Tigers +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Sale (L) vs. Turnbull (R)

Boston (2-4) and Detroit (2-4) play an early affair on Thursday in Detroit. We're on the Tigers RL here. 

Boston has been very inconsistent to start the year and Chris Sale comes in with little confidence too. He was knocked around by Baltimore in his debut and frustrations set in for him early. This Tigers lineup is scrappy and can cause a lot of issues for him.

Look for them to make him not only work, but rack up his pitch count early. If they can get him working out of the stretch, it's going to be a long day for the southpaw.

Spencer Turnbull also has the ability to bounce back too. He pitches well at home and rarely has bad outings bunched together.

Some trends to note, the Red Sox are 3-13 in their last 16 road games vs. a right-handed starter, are 1-5 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. On the other side the Tigers are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record, are 5-1 in their last 6 home games, and finally are 5-1 in their last 6 home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

Back the Tigers in their home opener +1.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 8* MLB ML Play

Seattle -1.5 +135

Pitching Probables: LAA - J. Suarez-L vs SEA - L. Castillo-R

Seattle (1-4) and Los Angeles (3-1) meet in Game 2 on Tuesday. We're on the Mariners RL in this one.

Seattle needs a win and Castillo is just the guy they want to see here. He logged 6.0 shutout innings against Cleveland in his opener and he's been absolutely dominant since joining Seattle. Look for him to step up and set the tone early in this one.

Combine that with the Mariners lineup making Suarez work and Seattle should put up some early support for Castillo. 

Some trends to note. the Mariners are 13-4 in their last 17 Tuesday games and are 26-10 in their last 36 during game 2 of a series. Seattle is also 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back Seattle.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

Diamondbacks +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Zach Davies (R) vs. Noah Syndergaard (R)

Arizona (1-2) and Los Angeles (2-1) meet on Sunday in the finale of a 4 game set. We're on the Dbacks RL here. 

Arizona RH Zach Davies has matched up very well with the Dodgers in his past. He comes into Sunday with an ERA of just 3.16. Combine that with his dominance at Dodger Stadium, where he's posted a career ERA of only 2.20 over seven starts and there is a lot of value here on the Dbacks.

Davies should keep them in this throughout, while Arizona can even steal this one outright. 

Some trends to note, Dodgers are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 4 of a series. This is a play against Syndergaard who didn't look sharp in the Spring (5.79 ERA). Davies on the other hand has a 3.16 career ERA vs. LAD.

Play the D-Backs on the Runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB RL Play

Dodgers -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Merrill Kelly (R) vs. Dustin May (R)

The Dodgers (1-0) meet with the Diamondbacks (0-1) on Friday night. Los Angeles opened the season as expected, winning 8-2 over the Dbacks. Will Smith recorded 3 hits and drove in 4 runs as he is the going to be one of the catalysts in this offense.

Merrill Kelly takes the ball and his spring training featured some high leverage spots for Team USA in the WBC. He has been abysmal against the Dodges in his career. He comes in 0-9 with an ERA of 5.97 over 63.1 innings of work. 

Dustin May returned from Tommy John Surgery last season and made 6 starts last yer.

Some trends to note, the Diamondbacks are 6-13 in their last 19 overall, are 45-100 in their last 145 road games. Also, when the DBacks play the Dodgers the Diamondbacks are 12-39 in the last 51 games, and 19-60 in the last 79 in LA. Lastly the Dodgers are 38-13 in their L51 home games.

Back the Dodgers on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB RL Play

Philadelphia +1.5

We're on the Phillies RL here. 

Philadelphia and Houston clash in Game 1 of the World Series and the Phillies aren't getting enough respect at this kind of line. The Phillies have used timely hitting and seen their starting pitching step up tremendously during this postseason. 

Nola will look to repeat his performance against the Braves in the NLDS. He stepped up in a big way and gave them a huge start, working deep into the game. He's came up big in many spots during the regular season as well, adding value to him here.

Some trends to note. Phillies are 23-9 in their last 32 Friday games. Phillies are 5-0 in their last 5 games following an off day.

Back Philadelphia RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Houston -1.5

The Astros on the RL are worth the move here in game one of the ALCS.

New York had to play into yesterday and will now start Taillon in Game 1 on Wednesday. Houston's offense should have a field day with him. Look for them to make him work from the outset and try to run his pitch count up, as they want to tax this bullpen. 

The Astros are well rested and tearing the cover off the ball this October.

Yankees are 1-4 in their last 5 playoff road games, 1-5 in the last 6 vs. Houston, and 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Houston. Lay the RL.

Back Houston RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Angels RL

The Angels ace Shohei Ohtani will be on the mound for their final game of the season. Ohtani is 15-8 with a 2.35 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP through 27 starts.

Ohtani has a 1.09 ERA in 5 starts through September.

The Athletics are going with the 1-2 Ken Waldichuk who is sporting a 6.18 ERA through 6 starts this season.

Ohtani's most recent start came last week against Oakland where he went 8.0 scoreless innings, allowing just 2 hits while throwing 10 strikeouts in the 4-2 win. Through 3 starts against the A's this season, he has a 0.92 ERA.

Play on the Angels Run Line -140

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB RL PLAY

Mets RL

On a two game losing streak, Washington has allowed 8 runs against in each of those two contests. They're starting Paolo Espino who is 0-8 through 41 appearances with a 4.30 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. He's gone a week between games with his most recent outing resulting in an 8-2 loss to the Braves. He allowed 4 runs off of 5 hits in 5 innings of play for a 7.20 ERA.

The playoff bound Mets are starting Taijuan Walker in the second game of a doubleheader. Walker is 12-5 and is sporting a 3.59 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP on the year. The Mets have the 2nd best average at the plate with .258 in the box.

Play on the Mets Run Line -110

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB RL PLAY

Monday 7* MLB RL PLAY

Astros RL

Through the past 15 days, Arizona has the worst batting average in the league at .192. Their OPS is abysmal at .576 and they have an ERA of 4.07 during that stretch.

In his last 4 starts, the Diamondbacks have won 2 and lost 2 while he's held an ERA of 2.05.

For Houston, they have the 2nd best ERA over the past 15 days at 2.57 and are rocking a .261 average at the plate.

The Diamondbacks have lost 6 series in a row and own the worst September OPS in MLB at .649. They're starting the 2-4 Zach Davies who owns a 4.03 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP on the year. He hasn't earned a win since May 13th and is sporting a 5.40 ERA through four September starts.

Houston is 12-3 through their last 15 games and American Leading Astros are starting Lance McCullers Jr. He is rocking a 4-1 tally with a 2.38 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP on the year since returning from injury.

Play on the Astros Run Line -105

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB RL PLAY

Dodgers -1.5

The Dodgers are worth the move on the RL.

After dropping last night 6-1, they send out Julio Urias, who has been a huge piece to this team's success. With 17 wins and an ERA of just 2.27, he has really bolstered this rotation and put together a Cy Young worthy campaign. 

Look for him to set the tone here early in this one and for the Dodgers offense to rebound from last night, where they simply didn't put together many good at bats.

Back Dodgers RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

Mariners RL

For the second game of this series we'll see the 12-10 Robbie Ray on the mound. He has an ERA of 3.72 and 1.17 WHIP on the year and is looking to bounce back after taking the loss in his last 2 starts. He's faced Oakland 3 times this season, coming away with a 1-1 record and a 2.41 ERA.

We're on the Yanks RL here with Cole. 

As we get down toward the final month of the season, every game is starting to matter. The Yankees are in the midst of a battle for the top seed with the Astros right now. 

They have far more talent than this Angels team when it comes to offensive production and pitching. Cole can set the tone here and should be able to hold down this Angels lineup. Look for the offense to get going early as New York should cruise to a win.

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Astros RL

Houston has an OPS of .741 but have been even better on the mound, ranking second with an ERA of 3.04 this season. They're selecting the 13-4 Framber Valdez for this one who is on a 5-game win streak when factoring in the decision.

The Rangers' Dane Dunning gets the call for the 25th time this year with a 4.19 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. He went just 5.0 innings in his last start and gave up 4 runs on 7 hits against the Rockies.

Blue Jays RL

The Angels rank 25th overall in average runs per game with less than 4 per outing. They are going with Tucker Davidson who is just 2-4 with a 6.23 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP on the year. He’s factored in the loss in 4 of his last 5 games and has allowed 10 earned runs over his past 15 innings pitched.

After being shutout in back-to-back games against the Los Angeles, the Blue Jays are due to break out. They’re trusting Ross Stripling to handle the mound with his 6-3 tally and a 2.84 ERA along with his 1.04 WHIP.

Sunday 8* MLB RL PLAY

New York -1.5

We're back on the Yankees on the RL.

We backed them yesterday here on the -1.5 and they cashed with ease in a route.

This is just two completely different teams. Oakland has been in a free fall, while the Yankees are getting back to their old ways. This is a nice spot for Cole to put together a solid outing, find his groove, and get New York another win. 

Look for him to set the tone and for the offense to get going early once again.

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Padres RL

San Diego are trusting Joe Musgrove with the start after amassing an 8-6 record with a 2.91 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. The Padres pulled out the win in his last start where he gave up just 1 run in 6.0 innings against the Nationals.

The Royals are responding with Kris Bubic who has a 2-8 record with a 5.29 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP. The Royals have had trouble scoring this year and sit below the league average at less than 4 runs per game. At home, Bubic is just 1-4 this year with a 5.36 ERA in Kansas City.

Some recent trends to note, Bubic is on a 2 game losing streak after allowing 8 runs on 18 hits in less than 10 combined innings.

Friday 8* MLB RL PLAY

New York -1.5

The Yankees are worth the move here on the RL.

Oakland has been a wreck all season and this team is just far below what the Yankees are. Look for New York to take control of this one early and really allow Taillon to settle in.

With that in mind, this has the makings of a very lopsided game. Lay the small juice with the RL as New York should be able to add on as the game progresses.

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

Blue Jays RL

Toronto is bringing out Kevin Gausman in this series finale after accumulating a 9-9 record and a 2.99 ERA as well as a 1.24 WHIP. The Blue Jays have won all 4 games he's started against Boston with Gausman picking up the win in 3 of those with a 1.38 ERA.

For the Red Sox it will be Kutter Crawford who has struggled this season with a 3-5 record and a 5.14 ERA. He's played Toronto just once this season and was stuck with the 4-1 loss and a 4.50 ERA to boot.

Some recent trends to note, Gausman has been excellent as of late with a 1.75 ERA in the month of August and through his last 4 games. On the opposite end, Crawford has a 7.40 ERA in 4 games this month.

Wednesday 7* MLB RL PLAY

Toronto -1.5

The Blue Jays are worth the move on the RL.

We backed them on the ML Tuesday and they cashed with ease as they have had the Sox number. Boston is starting to realize their run at a postseason berth is coming to a close and they just don't have the same firepower as the previous seasons. 

Toronto's offense is rolling and will get Berrios some early runs in this one. Expect a lopsided game where Toronto has the chance to continue to add on as the game progresses.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

The Padres will go with Sean Manaea who has been somewhat inconsistent this year. He's got a 6-6 record with a 4.83 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP but he should hold his own against the lowly Nationals.

Some recent trends to note, while Manaea has yet to face Washington, Corbin played San Diego twice last year and accumulated a 6.35 ERA in 2021.

Minnesota was knocked around in the series opener, but this is a nice spot for them to catch the +1.5. 

Gray takes the hill and he has been a very consistent starter in this rotation for Minnesota. He comes in 6-3 with an ERA of just 3.19. He's been able to give Minnesota length and put them in spots where they can win ballgames. 

They'll have a chance to steal this outright, but we'll be safe with the RL.

The Mets are worthy of a nice move on the RL.

Hunter Greene has been a struggle this season. He boasts an ERA at 5.72 and has had command issues all over the place. This is not the lineup you want to see if you’re him.

The Mets are patient and always make pitchers work. Expect them to do just that on Monday, as they will rack Greene’s pitch count up early in this one.
