20* MARINERS/ROYALS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Mariners -125

My money is on the Mariners to cash in an easy win on the road against the Royals. This is just too good a price to pass up on the best team in baseball right now. Seattle has won 5 straight and are 12-2 on the season. They are absolutely annihilating the baseball, scoring 6 or more runs in all but one game this season. Seattle's Mike Leake has a 2.92 ERA in 2 starts. KC's Jorge Lopez has a 4.09 ERA. Bet the Mariners -125! 

20* RANGERS/DBACKS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Diamondbacks -138

My money is on the Diamondbacks to cash in an easy win at home against the Rangers. Control has been a bit of a problem for Arizona starter Robbie Ray. When he's finding the strikezone he's tough to beat. After walking 5 each in his first two starts, he's due for a little better command. Texas is not hitting for near the power on the road as they have at home and I don't trust Rangers starter Lance Lynn at all. Bet Arizona -138! 

15* MARLINS/REDS MLB SHARP WINNER on Marlins +138

My money is on the Marlins to cash in a win and nice little payout here as a road dog against the Reds. Reds are being overvalued after a big day at the plate. This is still statistically one of the worst offenses in the big leagues. Marlins have the starter to keep them in this game. Trevor Richards has a 3.00 ERA and 1.167 WHIP in his first 2 starts. Both times going at least 6 and allowing 3 or fewer. Bet the Marlins +138! 

15* DODGERS/CARDINALS MLB SHARP WINNER on Cardinals +124

My money is on St. Louis to cash in an easy win here as a home dog against the Dodgers. Cardinals took the series opener from LA and snapped the Dodgers 5-game winning streak with a 4-3 win on Monday. St Louis is now 4-2 in their last 6 and I'm willing to bet they stay hot at home in this one. Bet the Cardinals +124! 

20* INDIANS/TIGERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Tigers +146

My money is on the Tigers to cash in an easy win here as a division home dog against the Indians. Cleveland is way overpriced here with Kluber on the mound. Indians offense is still not producing at a high-level and I'm not about to overreact to a 4-game sweep at home against the Blue Jays. Detroit has won 5 in a row and will give the rock to veteran starter Jordan Zimmermann, who has allowed just 1 run on 7 hits with 10 K's in his first two starts. Bet the Tigers +146! 

20* YANKEES/ASTROS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Yankees +146

My money is on New York to cash in a big payday in Monday's series opener against the Astros. I'm not saying Houston shouldn't be favored at home, but they are getting way too much respect in a game that could go either way. Sure the Astros have Justin Verlander on the mound, but New York has an ace of their own on the mound in Masahiro Tanaka, who hasn't allowed more than 3 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts against the Astros. Bet the Yankees +146! 

15* RANGERS/ANGELS MLB SHARP WINNER on Angels -141

My money is on the Angels to cash in an easy winner here as a home favorite against the Rangers. After a miserable 1-6 start to the season, LA has put together back-to-back wins at home, where they are now 2-1 on the season. Texas started out hot behind a surging offense, but their bats have gone cold, scoring just 2 runs in their last 2 games. Bet the Angels! 

20* NATIONALS/METS WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nationals -133

My money is on the Nationals to cash in an easy winner here on the money line as a small road favorite against the Mets. Washington will have their ace an arguably the best pitcher in the game in Max Scherzer going. Scherzer has been sharp in his first two starts, but is still looking for that first win. He gets it here. He's got a 2.47 ERA and 0.866 WHIP in 17 starts vs he Mets, while NY's Zack Wheeler was hit hard by these same Nationals in his first start of 2019 and owns a 4.32 ERA and 1.416 WHIP in 14 starts vs Washington. Bet the Nationals -133! 

15* A'S/ASTORS MLB SHARP WINNER on A's +138

My money is on the A's to cash in an easy win and big payday as a road dog against the Astros. Houston got the win in Friday's series opener, but it wasn't because of the offense. Astros scored just 3 runs and have now scored 3 or fewer in 6 of their 8 games. Oakland is sending out Aaron Brooks, who had quite the impressive first start to 2019. He allowed a mere 2 hits with 6 strikeouts in 6 shutout innings against the Red Sox. Bet the A's +138! 

20* BLUE JAYS/INDIANS WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Indians -178

My money is on the Indians to cash in an easy win here on the money line at home against the Blue Jays. I know it was a rough first outing for Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco, but I got confidence in him bouncing back in a big way. Note Carrasco was rocked in his first start last year in late March and then went on to post a 2.23 ERA in April. Bet the Indians! 

20* MARLINS/BRAVES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Marlins +144

My money is on the Marlins to cash in a big pay day here as a +144 road dog against the Braves. Atlanta a little over-priced off a 3-game sweep of the Cubs. Miami undervalued after getting swept in a 3-game series by the Mets. I like Marlins starter Pablo Lopez and not a big fan of Kevin Gausman right now. Bet Miami +144! 

15* RED SOX/DBACKS MLB SHARP WINNER on Diamondbacks +114

My money is on the Diamondbacks to add to the misery of the Red Sox. Boston is off to a dreadful 2-6 start and it's not as easy as people think to right the ship in the middle of a road trip. Boston won't play a home game until 4/9. The offense has been very mediocre and the pitching has been awful. Red Sox will turn to Rick Porcello, who allowed 9 runs (4 earned) on 6 hits and 4 walks in 2 2/3 innings in his first start. I'm willing to bet he struggles again. Bet the Diamondbacks +114! 

20* NATIONALS/METS WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Mets -120

My money is on the Mets to cash in an easy win at home against the Nationals. New York is off to another strong start and this is simply too good a price to pass up on the Mets at home with Noah Syndergaard on the mound. Syndergaard wasn't his best at Washington in Game 2 of the season, where he opposed his same nemesis today in Strasburg. Syndergaard did have a 3.20 ERA on the road last year compared to a 2.87 ERA at home. Nationals are also down a big piece right now with Trea Turner on the DL. Bet the Mets -120! 

15* DBACKS/PADRES MLB SHARP WINNER on Diamondbacks +123

My money is on the Diamondbacks to cash in an easy win here as a small road dog against the Padres. Arizona is just 3-3, but are swinging a red-hot bat. Diamondbacks have scored 5 or more in every game, including 7 or more in each of their last 3. They have 18 runs in their last 2 games. The Padres have scored 19 runs for the season. Robbie Ray is definitely a guy that can get hot and shut down this San Diego offense. Bet the Diamondbacks +123! 

20* ROCKIES/RAYS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Rockies +128

My money is on the Rockies to cash in a win as a small road dog against the Rays. Just too good a value to pass up with German Marquez on the mound for Colorado. Marquez allowed just 1 run on 2 hits with 7 strikeouts in 6 innings in his first start of 2018. I'm expecting another great showing here and I'll take my chances the Rockies lineup breaks out of their slump and does enough to get the win. Bet Colorado +128! 

20* DBACKS/PADRES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Padres -111

My money is on the Padres to cash in an easy win as a small home favorite. Arizona is a team I'm way down on and it could be even worse if what we saw from ace Zack Greinke in his first start is a sign of things to come. Greinke gave up 7 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in 3 2/3 innings. What really stands out is that he gave up 4 HRs. I think he struggles again here. Bet the Padres -111! 

15* ASTROS/RANGERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Astros -202

My money is on the Astros to cash in an easy win here behind veteran ace Justin Verlander. Houston's only win on the season came in the opener with Verlander on the mound. They have since lost 3 straight and I'm confident Verlander will come to the rescue. I also think we could see the Astros offense come to life against Shelby Miller. Bet Houston -202! 

15* ORIOLES/BLUE JAYS MLB SHARP PLAY on Blue Jays -168

My money is on the Blue Jays to cash in an easy win here at home against the Orioles. I'm not buying into Baltimore winning 2 of 3 against the Yankees. They are going to do everything they can to beat New York and Boston. I don't see that same intensity on the road against the Blue Jays. Bet Toronto -168! 

20* CARDINALS/PIRATS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cardinals +120

My money is on the Cardinals to cash in an easy win on the money line as a dog at the Pirates. Adam Wainwright was once one of the best pitchers in the game, but age and injuries have limited him of late. Who knows if he can stay healthy for a full season, but he comes into 2019 in great shape and is off a really strong spring training, as he posted a 2.51 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 11 strikeouts to 3 walks in 14 1/3 innings. Bet St Louis +120! 

20* GIANTS/PADRES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Padres -150

My money is on the Padres to cash in an easy win here at home against division rival San Francisco. I just have zero trust in Giants starter Jeff Samardzija and it doesn't help matters that SF's offense can't score. Giants have totaled just 4 runs in 3 games and I don't see that changing against Chris Paddack, who went 3-1 with a 1.76 ERA (24 Ks in 15.3 innings) this spring. This guy has more than proved himself at the minor league level and is ready to roll on the big stage. Bet the Padres -150! 

15* BLUE JAYS/TIGERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Blue Jays -126

My money is on the Blue Jays to cash in an easy win at home against the Tigers. Detroit's offense has been atrocious to start the season. Tigers have scored 2 runs on a mere 11 hits in 3 games, getting shutout in each of the last two. Hard to win when you don't score runs. This is just too good a price on Toronto at home. Bet the Blue Jays -126! 

20* BRAVES/PHILLIES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Braves +131

My money is on the Braves to cash in a nice little pay day here as a road dog against division rival Philadelphia. Phillies are the talk of the town after landing Bryce Harper. I know they won the opener 10-4, but I just think they are way overpriced to start the season. I like Atlanta to even up this series. Phillies have lost Nick Pivetta's last 5 vs a division opponent. Bet the Braves +131! 

15* TIGERS/BLUE JAYS MLB SHARP PLAY on Tigers +118

My money is on the Tigers to cash in a win here as a road dog against the Blue Jays. Toronto won 6-0 on Friday, but they have been a great to team to fade off a win and are just 19-40 in their last 59 following a game where they scored 5 or more runs. Home team is also 4-1 in the last 5 when umpire Ed Hickox is behind home plate. Bet Detroit +118! 

20* GIANTS/PADRES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Giants +144

My money is on the Giants to cash in a big pay day here against San Francisco. These are two very evenly matched teams in my opinion, but the Padres are getting overpriced because of all the hype around the signing of Machado and they just won yesterday, so that inflates the number as well. Simply too good a price to pass up on a division matchup here with SF. Bet the Giants +144! 

20* TIGERS/BLUE JAYS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Tigers +128

My money is on Detroit to cash in a nice little pay day as a road dog against the Blue Jays. Toronto is building for the future and are likely a year away from being a serious contender. Tigers are also rebuilding, but I think they are the more talented team, at least going into the season. A lot of the Tigers top hitters really swung the bat well this spring and I think they put up a big number here against Marcus Stroman. Bet Detroit +128! 

15* BRAVES/PHILLIES MLB SHARP PLAY on Braves +171

My money is on Atlanta to cash in a big pay down on the money line against the Phillies. I get the Phillies are the new big thing and have a top notch starter on the mound in Aaron Nola, but this price isn't even close. Braves are the defending NL East champs and look every bit as good as they were a year ago. I also liked what I seen from Julio Teheran this spring. Bet the Braves +171!

15* RED SOX/DODGERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Dodgers -131

My money is on the Dodgers to avoid elimination and send this series back to Boston. LA will have Clayton Kershaw on the mound, who struggled in Game 1 at Boston, giving up 5 runs on 4 innings. Kershaw also struggled in his first start of the NLCS at Milwaukee, but fired back with one of his best postseason starts at home later in the series. I expect a similar storyline here, as I expect nothing but the best from Kershaw in this one. Look for the Dodgers offense to get to Chris Sale early and potentially win this one going away. Bet the Dodgers -131! 

15* DODGERS/RED SOX MLB SHARP PLAY on Red Sox -137

My money is on the Red Sox to take a commanding 2-0 series lead of the Dodgers with a win in Game 2. Boston will have David Price on the mound and he's fresh off a brilliant outing in the ALCS against the Astros, where he allowed just 3 hits and struck out 9 in 6 innings. I trust him a lot more, especially at home, than I do Hyun-Jin Ryu. In his two NLCS starts against the Brewers, he allowed 7 runs in less than 8 innings of work and owns a 4.63 ERA and 4.00 WHIP in 8 road starts this season. Boston's lineup is just too good. Give me the Red Sox -137! 

15* DODGERS/BREWERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Brewers +104

My money is on the Brewers to cash in a win at home in Game 6 of the NLCS. The Dodgers won 2 of 3 at home, but I expect Milwaukee to bounce back in a big way at home and force a Game 7. Brewers will have Wade Miley on the mound, while the Dodgers send out Hyun-Jin Ryu. Miley has a 2.25 ERA in 8 home starts, while Ryu has a 3.66 ERA in 7 road outings. Bet the Brewers +104! 

15* BREWERS/DODGERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Dodgers -148

My money is on the Dodgers to cash in a win in Wednesday's critical Game 5 of the NLCS. LA evened up the series with a 2-1 win in extras (13 innings) on Tuesday and will have their ace on the mound in Clayton Kershaw. I'm not the least bit concerned with Kershaw's poor showing in Game 1 of the series. If anything, it makes me like him in this spot even more. I fully expect Kershaw to deliver a top notch performance and I'll count on the Dodgers offense to do enough to secure the victory. Bet the Dodgers -148! 

15* ASTROS/RED SOX MLB SHARP PLAY on Astros +102

15* ASTROS/RED SOX ALCS (G1) SHARP PLAY on Astros +112

My money is on the Astros to go into Boston and steal Game 1 of the ALDS. Two really good starters going in this one with Justin Verlander taking on Chris Sale. I just have a lot more trust in Verlander in this spot. He's 12-2 in the LDS and LCS and has a 2.79 ERA and 1.103 WHIP in 20 starts against the Red Sox. He gave up 2 runs on just 3 hits in 6 innings in his only start against Boston this season. As for Sale, he's had his ups and downs in the postseason and in his last 2 starts against the Astros, he's allowed 11 runs on 15 hits (4 HRs) in just 11 innings of work. Bet he Astros +112! 

15* INDIANS/ASTROS MLB SHARP PLAY on Astros -140

My money is on the Astros to cash in a win at home in Game 1 of Friday's ALDS against the Indians. Always tough going against Cleveland's Corey Kluber, but this is one potent Houston offense and he was simply not the same guy on the road as he was at home during the regular-season. Kluber had a 2.14 ERA in 17 home starts, but a mere 3.80 ERA on the road. Astros will also have the idea guy to go toe-to-toe with Kluber, as they send out ace Justin Verlander, who was in postseason form down the stretch with a 0.47 ERA and 0.474 WHIP over his last 3 starts. A stretch that saw him allow just 1 run on 7 hits with 32 strikeouts in just 19 innings of work. Bet Houston -140! 

15* BRAVES/DODGERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Braves +167

My money is on the Braves as a big underdog in Wednesday's NLDS showdown with the Dodgers. Atlanta is the only NL team that got to sit back and relax after the regular-season ended, as everyone else had to play in Monday's two tie-breaker games. Braves also have one of their best starters going here in Mike Foltynewicz, who posted a strong 2.48 ERA and 1.080 WHIP in 15 road starts. Ryu has been solid of late for LA, but the Dodgers are a mere 5-12 in his last 17 starts vs a team with a winning record and Atlanta is 9-3 in their last 12 vs a starter that's won more than 70% of their starts. Bet the Braves +167! 

20* ROCKIES/CUBS WILD CARD SHARP TOP PLAY on Cubs -125

My money is on the Cubs to cash in win at home against the Rockies in Tuesday's NL Wild Card game. Chicago let one get away in Monday's loss to the Brewers, but few teams are better off a loss than the Cubs. Chicago is 35-16 in their last 51 off a loss. They also got their ace on the mound in Jon Lester, who posted a 1.00 ERA over his last 3 starts. In his most recent outing he allowed just 3 hits over 6 shutout innings. That's worth noting as the Cubs are 10-1 in Lester's last 11 starts after he allowed 2 or fewer runs in his last 2 outings. Chicago is also 20-6 in Lester's last 26 starts as a favorite of -110 or more. Bet the Cubs -125! 

15* ROCKIES/DODGERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Rockies +155

My money is on the Rockies to cash in as a big road dog. Colorado will have German Marquez on the mound and he comes in red-hot with a 2.25 ERA and 0.900 WHIP over his last 3 starts. More importantly, he's been outstanding in his two starts at Dodgers Stadium this season, allowing  mere 2 runs on 4 hits with 14 strikeouts in 15 innings of work. We also have a red-hot Rockies offense coming into this one. Colorado scored 12 runs on Sunday to force this NL West tie-breaker and are hitting .322 and averaging 8.3 runs/game over their last 7. Bet the Rockies +155! 

15* DBACKS/PADRES MLB SHARP PLAY on Padres +114

My money is on the Padres to cash in a win at home against the Diamondbacks on Sunday. This is a really tough spot here for Arizona, who had a huge collapse down the stretch to fall out of playoff contention. All they want here is for this thing to be over with and get on the plane to start the offseason. San Diego should have a little more fight in their home finale and I like Joey Lucchesi to pitch well here. He's 5-4 at home this season with a solid 3.97 ERA and is coming off a strong start against Arizona earlier this month. Bet the Padres +114! 

15* PIRATES/REDS MLB SHARP PLAY on Pirates +195

My money is on the Pirates to cash in as a big road dog against the Reds in Sunday's regular-season finale. We are just getting way too good a price here because Clay Holmes is on the mound for Pittsburgh and is coming off a horrible start last time out at San Francisco. The thing is, Holmes was great in his previous start, allowing just 4 hits over 6 shutout innings against the Brewers. On top of that, Sal Ramano of the Reds is arguably in worse form, as he's allowed 11 runs on 14 hits in his last 2 starts, which have spanned just 6 2/3 innings. Look for the Pirates offense to be the difference in this one. Bet Pittsburgh +195! 

15* NATIONALS/ROCKIES MLB SHARP PLAY on Rockies -170

My money is on the Rockies to cash in an easy win at home against the Nationals. Colorado has caught fire. The Rockies have won 7 straight and are now a full 1-game ahead of the Dodgers for the NL West lead. It's not just the offense doing all the work, Colorado's pitching staff is locked in right now. The Rockies have allowed just 10 runs during the 7 game winning streak and will have the red-hot Kyle Freeland on the mound for this one. Freeland is 16-7 with a 2.84 ERA in 32 starts and has a 2.25 ERA in his last 3 starts. Joe Ross will counter for the Nationals and he's made just 2 starts in 2018 and allowed 6 runs on 12 hits in 11 innings. Bet the Rockies -170! 

15* YANKEES/RED SOX MLB SHARP PLAY on Red Sox +132

My money is on Boston to cash in a win at home against the Yankees in Friday's series opener. I think the perception here is that the Red Sox aren't going to put up much of a fight with nothing to play for right now, while New York is still trying to secure the top Wild Card spot and ensure their game against the A's is at home. I look for Boston to put up a fight as they don't want to lose at home to the Yankees no matter what the situation is and this is too good a price to pass up. Bet the Red Sox +132

15* PHILLIES/ROCKIES MLB SHARP PLAY on Phillies +155

My money is on the Phillies to cash in as a big road dog agains the Rockies on Thursday. Philadelphia is simply getting way too much value here. In large part because they come in riding a 7-game losing streak and have been outscored 34-4 in the first 3 games of this series against Colorado. As bad as it looks for the Phillies right now, I expect a max effort here to avoid the sweep and to play spoiler in the Rockies attempt to win the NL West. Look for Jake Arrieta to cool off Colorado's bats and for Philadelphia's offense to wake up. Bet the Phillies +155! 

15* A'S/MARINERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Mariners -102

My money is on Seattle to cash in a win at home over the A's on Wednesday. The Mariners rallied from 3 runs down on two separate occasions in yesterday's 10-8 win in 11 innings. I think Seattle is drawing a lot of motivation here to play spoiler against the A's. The win yesterday eliminated Oakland from any shot at catching Houston in the AL West and they can really damper their chances of catching the Yankees for the top Wild Card spot with another win here. Felix Hernandez will be making his final start of 2018 and you know he's going to want to pitch well after a miserable showing this season. The A's are one team he's enjoyed a lot of success against, as he's 26-12 with a 2.77 ERA and 1.094 WHIP in 50 career starts against them. Bet the Mariners -102! 

25* BREWERS/CARDINALS NL CENTRAL GAME OF THE YEAR on Brewers -102

My money is on the Brewers to finish what they started and secure the sweep of the Cardinals in St. Louis. Milwaukee won 6-4 on Monday and 12-4 on Tuesday and have now scored at least 6 runs in 5 of their last 6 games. The offense should continue to roll here against Cardinals' starter John Gant, who has a 5.93 ERA and 1.683 WHIP in his last 3 starts and is 0-2 with a 5.79 ERA and 1.929 WHIP in 2 career starts against the Brewers. Jhoulys Chacin will go for Milwaukee and he's 9-3 with a solid 3.49 ERA and 1.117 WHIP in 20 road starts. He also owned ST Louis in his most recent start against them (8/19), allowing just 4 hits and 0 walks over 6 shutout innings. Bet the Brewers -102! 

15* BREWERS/CARDINALS MLB SHARP PLAY on Cardinals -125

My money is on St Louis to cash in a win at home against the Brewers. St Louis lost to Milwaukee in the series opener yesterday, but still come in riding a strong 6-2 run over their last 8 games. The Cardinals will send out Austin Gomber. While he's not put up the best numbers, St Louis just keeps finding ways to win games he starts. They are 8-2 in his 10 big league starts. On the flip side the Brewers have Gio Gonzalez on the mound and while he's been great since coming over to Milwaukee, all 3 of his starts with the Brewers have come at home. Gonzalez just isn't the same pitcher when he takes the mound in an opposing teams park. He's 3-7 with a 4.73 ERA and 1.422 WHIP in 15 road starts this season. Bet the Cardinals -125! 

15* A'S/MARINERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Mariners -125

My money is on the Mariners to cash in a win at home against the A's. Oakland has all but clinched the second Wild Card in the AL, as they need just one more win or one more Rays loss to secure the deal. They had a chance to clinch that spot on Sunday and lost 5-1 to the Twins and I think they come up short once again. Seattle will have their ace James Paxton on the mound, who is 4-0 with a 3.51 ERA in 9 career starts against the A's and Oakland will counter here with Daniel Mengden, who is making his first start since late June. Bet the Mariners -125! 

15* METS/NATIONALS MLB SHARP PLAY on Mets +125

My money is on the Mets to cash in a win as a road dog agains the Nationals on Sunday. While the outlook had been bleak for awhile, Washington was just officially eliminated from postseason contention yesterday. I think this is going to be a really tough last week for these Nationals players, as they came into this season thinking they had what it takes to not just make the playoffs, but win it all. They also have a very average starter on the mound here in Erick Fedde, who is a mere 2-3 with a 5.02 ERA and 1.419 WHIP in 9 starts. New York on the other hand will turn to Steven Matz, who has a 2.76 ERA and 1.041 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Bet the Mets +125! 

15* REDS/MARLINS MLB SHARP PLAY on Reds -117

My money is on the Reds to cash in a win on the road against the Marlins in Sunday's series finale. Cincinnati will send out Michael Lorenzen, who made his season debut last time out. He was sharp, giving up just 1 run (unearned) on 1 hit in 4 innings. He'll be up against the struggling Trevor Richards, who has an awful 11.12 ERA and 1.942 WHIP in his last 3 starts, giving up at least 4 runs in all 3 outings. Look for the Lorenzen to keep Miami's offense in check, while the Reds provide plenty of run support for the easy win. Bet Cincinnati -117! 

15* ROCKIES/DBACKS MLB SHARP PLAY on Rockies +109

My money is on the Rockies to cash in a win at Arizona tonight. Colorado will turn to German Marquez, who has really enjoyed starting outside of the Rockies home park. Marquez is 7-4 with a 3.03 ERA and 0.968 WHIP in 15 road starts. He's also coming in red-hot with a 2.75 ERA in his last 3 starts. Arizona will counter with ace Zack Greinke, but he's not in good form right now. Greinke owns a mere 5.40 ERA and 1.309 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He's also got an ERA close to 4 in his career against Colorado. Bet the Rockies +109! 

15* PHILLIES/BRAVES MLB SHARP PLAY on Phillies +126

My money here is on the Phillies to cash in as a dog against the Braves Friday. This is Philadelphia's last stand as they are 6.5-games back of Atlanta in the NL East. With Nick Pivetta on the mound, it's hard to not like their chances. Pivetta has a 2.84 ERA in 7 career starts against the Braves and the Phillies have won 6 of those 7 starts. That includes a perfect 4-0 record in Pivetta's last 4 starts in Atlanta. Bet the Phillies +126!

20* CUBS/DIAMONDBACKS SHARP TOP PLAY on Cubs +110

My money is on the Cubs to finish off the sweep of the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Chicago's offense has come to life in their series at Arizona. They followed up their 5 run performance on Monday with a 9 run outburst on Tuesday. Look for them to stay hot against the Diamondbacks Robbie Ray, who owns an ugly 5.37 ERA and 1.510 WHIP in 10 home starts. As for the Cubs, they will have veteran Cole Hamels on the mound, who has been outstanding since coming over in a trade to Chicago. Hamels is 4-0 with a 1.57 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 9 starts with the Cubs. Bet Chicago +110!

15* MARINERS/ASTROS MLB SHARP PLAY on Mariners +200

My Money is on the Mariners to cash in as a massive road dog against the Astros on Tuesday. Houston is already starting to lookahead to the playoffs, as today's scheduled starter, Gerrit Cole is being pushed back to Friday's series opener against the Angels. In Cole's place will be Josh James, who will be making just his second big league start. Mike Leake will take the mound for Seattle and he's allowed just 1 earned run over his last 2 starts and has a solid 3.61 ERA in 13 career starts against the Astros. Bet the Mariners +200! 

20* NL EAST SHARP PLAY OF THE MONTH  on Nationals -193

My money is on the Nations to cash in an easy win at home against the Marlins on Tuesday. Washington will Stephen Strasburg on the mound and he's regained his form after a brief stint on the DL. Strasburg has a 2.41 ERA over his last 3 starts. Strasburg has also been a beast on the road this season, where he's 6-2 with a 2.26 ERA and 1.045 WHIP. He's also owned the Marlins of late. In his last 3 starts against Miami, Strasburg hasn't allowed a single run, walked just 3 hitters and has 24 strikeouts in 20 innings. Bet Washington -193! 

15* REDS/BREWERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Reds +160

My money is on the Reds to cash in as big road dog against division rival Milwaukee on Monday. Cincinnati avoided getting swept with a 2-1 win over the Cubs on Sunday and will now look to play spoiler against the Brewers, who just lost 2 of 3 at home to the Pirates. Milwaukee starter Wade Miley hasn't had a lot of luck against NL Central foes, as the Brewers are just 12-25 in his last 37 starts at home against division opponents. Cincinnati on the other hand has won 7 of Anthony Desclafani's last 9 starts and are 4-1 in his last 5 series openers. Bet the Reds +160! 

15* TIGERS/INDIANS MLB SHARP PLAY (Side) on Tigers +230

My money is on the Tigers to cash in on the money line as a massive road dog against the Indians on Sunday. There's just not a lot of incentive here for Cleveland, who has the AL Central locked up and aren't catching either of the other two division leaders. Guys are going to start getting more and more days off down the stretch and they are going to lose games they shouldn't. I believe this is one of those, as Francisco Liriano has a 3.52 ERA in his last 3 starts and Cleveland's Shane Bieber is just 4-3 with a 4.93 ERA and 4.61 WHIP in 7 home starts. Bet the Titans +230! 

15* TIGERS/INDIANS MLB SHARP PLAY on Indians -173

My money is on the Indians to cash in an easy win at home against the Tigers on Friday. Cleveland is coming off a sluggish 3-4 road trip where they dropped 3 of their last 4. I look for them to be all business back at home and off a much-needed day off. Indians are 46-14 in their last 60 home games vs a team with a losing record and have won 5 of their last 6 after an off day. Detroit is just 4-15 in Matt Boyd's last 19 road starts and have lost 9 of their last 29 series openers. Bet Cleveland -173! 

15* DBACKS/ROCKIES MLB SHARP PLAY on Rockies -125

My money is on the Rockies to cash in as a short home favorite against the Diamondbacks in Thursday's series finale. Colorado hit a walk-off 2-run homer in the bottom of the 9th for a 5-4 win on Wednesday and I look for them to carry over that momentum to an easy win this afternoon. Rockies will have Kyle Freeland on the mound, who is one of the more underrated starters in the game. Freeland has a 2.91 ERA in 29 starts overall and an impressive 2.21 ERA and 1.144 WHIP in 13 starts at Coors Field. Last time out he faced the Dodgers at home and held LA to just 1 run on 4 hits with 8 strikeouts in 6 innings. Bet Colorado -125! 

15* MARLINS/METS MLB SHARP PLAY on Marlins +160

My money is on the Marlins to cash in as a big road dog in Game 1 of Thursday's double-header with the Mets. This is just too good a price to pass up on Miami with how well Game 1 starter, Sandy Alcantara has pitched in his two big league starts. Alcantara made his big league debut on June 29th against these Mets and allowed just 1 run on 3 hits in 5 innings. His next start came last week at home agains the Phillies, where he allowed just 3 hits over 7 shutout innings. I like his chances of throwing another gem. Bet the Marlins +160! 

15* DBACKS/ROCKIES MLB SHARP PLAY on Diamondbacks +105

My money is on the Diamondbacks to cash in a win on the road against the Rockies. Arizona finally got their offense going in a 6-3 win over Colorado on Tuesday and I look for them to stay hot at the plate against Rockies starter Jon Gray, who has a 4.86 ERA and 1.440 WHIP in his last 3 starts. On the flip side of this, I look for Colorado's bats to struggle to put up runs against the red-hot Pat Corbin, who has a 1.50 ERA and 0.778 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Bet the Diamondbacks +105! 

20* NL EARLY BIRD PLAY OF THE MONTH on Braves -130

My money is on the Braves to cash in a win on the road against the Giants. Atlanta comes into this one having won 4 straight and have built their lead in the NL East to 6.5-games. This team can smell a division title and will be locked in until that goal is met. While the Braves are rolling, the Giants are a complete mess right now. SF has dropped 10 straight and have really struggled to score runs. I don't see that changing against the red-hot Anibal Sanchez, who has a 2.81 ERA and 1.062 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Bet the Braves -130! 

15* ROCKIES/DIAMONDBACKS MLB SHARP PLAY on Rockies +112

My money is on the Rockies to cash in a win as a home dog against division rival Arizona on Tuesday. The Diamondbacks are getting a lot of love here because they have ace Zack Greinke on the mound, but he's not the same guy on the road as he is at home. He's also got a  mere 3.91 ERA over 28 career starts against Arizona. Colorado will send out Antonio Senzatela, who is trending up after two strong starts against division rivals San Diego and San Francisco. Rookies are 9-3 in Senzatela's last 12 starts against a division rival and 6-2 in his last 8 home starts vs a team with a winning record. Bet Colorado +112! 

15* BREWERS/CUBS MLB SHARP PLAY on Brewers +125

My money is on the Brewers to come away with another win over division rival Chicago on Tuesday. Milwaukee won the opener 3-2 on Monday and have had the Cubs number of late. They are going to be 100% locked in for this one, as a win will move them into a tie for 1st in the NL Central. Brewers will send out Jhoulys Chacin, who has made 3 starts against the Cubs this season and allowed just 3 earned runs on 14 hits in 19 2/2 innings of work. Milwaukee has won 18 of Chacin's last 26 starts overall and are 7-1 in their last 8 vs a left-handed starter. Bet the Brewers +125! 

15* BRAVES/GIANTS MLB SHARP PLAY on Braves -115

My money is on the Braves as a short road favorite against the Giants. San Francisco has completely fallen apart down the stretch and could struggle to turn it back around. The Giants were just swept at Milwaukee over the weekend and have now lost 8 straight. The offense has been a complete no-show and I don't see them breaking out here against the Braves' Sean Newcomb, who is 7-3 with a strong 3.12 ERA in 14 road starts. Bet the Giants -115! 

20* MLB FAVORITE PLAY OF THE MONTH  on Brewers -135

My money is on Milwaukee to come away with another win over the Giants on Sunday. A lot of people will be looking to back SF as a dog with Bumgarner on the mound, but he's just 5-13 in his last 18 starts going back to last season and comes into this one with a 4.73 ERA and 1.500 WHIP in 9 road starts this season. Milwaukee is 4-0 in their last 4 home games against a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games and are 8-2 in their last 10 overall. Bet the Brewers -135! 

15* CARDINALS/TIGERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Tigers +120

My money is on Detroit to cash in a win as a home dog against the Cardinals on Sunday. Detroit will send out Michael Fulmer, who has a strong 3.69 ERA and 1.171 WHIP in 11 home starts in 2018. Detroit is also 5-1 in their last 6 interleague games and have won 4 straight overall, including each of the first two games in the series against St. Louis. Cardinals are now just 1-5 in their last 6 vs a team with a losing record. Bet the Tigers +120! 

15* ROYALS/TWINS MLB SHARP PLAY on Twins -142

My money is on the Twins to secure an easy win at home against division rival Kansas City. Minnesota will send out Stephen Gonsalves, who was rocked in his first start, but has bounced back in his last 2 outings. I love that he's going up against a Royals offense that has scored just 4 runs on 7 hits in their last 2 games combined. As for the Twins offense, look for them to score early and often in this one. KC is giving the rock to Heath Fillmyer, who has a 9.82 ERA and 2.091 WHIP in 3 road starts. Bet Minnesota -142! 

20* MLB INTERLEAGUE GAME OF THE MONTH on Tigers +140

My money is on Detroit to cash in a win at home as a big dog against the Cardinals. St Louis has remarkably won all 7 of Austin Gomber's starts, but I see that coming to an end. Gomber was extremely fortunate to only give up 2 runs in his last start, as he allowed 10 hits in 7 innings. Not only do I think he struggles, but I look for a strong outing here from Tigers' starter Daniel Norris, who has a 1.93 ERA and 1.285 WHIP at home and has cashed in 5 of his last 7 starts in a series opener. Bet Detroit +140! 

15* PADRES/REDS MLB SHARP PLAY on Reds -145

A lot of people will struggle to play on a bad team like Cincinnati, especially given their current form, but my money is on the Reds to cash in an easy win at home against the Padres. A big reason Cincinnati has struggled of late is their schedule. They have played 13 of their last 16 on the road and all 16 have been against division opponents. This team will be ecstatic to see San Diego and they have a big edge on the mound with the red-hot Luis Castillo going up against the Padres Eric Lauer. Castillo has a 3.24 ERA and 0.960 WHIP in his last 3 starts and Lauer has a 5.48 ERA in 9 road starts and a 5.79 ERA in his last 3 outings. Bet the Reds -145! 

20* AL CENTRAL GAME OF THE MONTH on White Sox -160

My money is on the White Sox to cash in an easy win at home against the Tigers on Wednesday. These two teams come into this matchup with identical records at 56-83, but are headed in completely different directions. Chicago has won 14 of their last 21, while Detroit has lost 14 of their last 20. Hard to not like the White Sox in this one, as they will send out Michael Kopech, who has posted a 0.82 ERA and 1.091 WHIP in his first 3 starts. That includes an outing at Detroit, where he held the Tigers to just 1 run in 6 innings. The opposing starter in that game was Jordan Zimmermann and he's oppose Kopech again in this one. Zimmermann allowed 4 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings in that recent start against Chicago and owns a 4.59 ERA and 1.306 WHIP in 10 road starts this season. Bet the White Sox -160! 

20* NL SHARP PLAY OF THE MONTH on Dodgers -230

I've got no problem laying the big juice and backing the Dodgers at home on Tuesday. LA will be all business after losing the opener to the Mets on Monday. It was a rare loss for the Dodgers down the stretch, as they are 8-2 in their last 10. It was also a rare loss against a bad team, as LA is 77-30 in their last 107 home games against a team with a losing record. The Mets are also just 22-46 in their last 68 road games against a team with a winning record. Rich Hill will start for LA and he's 9-3 in his last 12 home starts against a team with a losing record. Jason Vargas goes for NY and the Mets are 3-8 in his last 11 road starts. Bet the Dodgers -230!  

15* TIGERS/WHITE SOX MLB SHARP PLAY on Tigers +104

My money is on Detroit in Monday's battle of AL East bottom feeders. The Tigers are coming off a big 11-7 win over the Yankees on Sunday and have been swinging the bats well, as they have now scored 25 runs in their last 4 games. The offense figures to stay hot against White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez, who has an ugly 5.52 ERA and 1.431 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Detroit will have Michael Fulmer on the mound and he's got a strong 3.37 ERA and 1.195 WHIP in 7 career starts against the White Sox. Bet Detroit +104! 

15* DBACKS/DODGERS MLB SHARP PLAY on Dodgers -171

My money is on the Dodgers to cash in a win at home against the Diamondbacks on Sunday. LA will have one of the best starters in the game going into this one, as they give the rock to Walker Buehler, who owns a 2.59 ERA and 0.986 WHIP in 17 starts. He's got an even better 1.65 ERA and 0.787 WHIP in 9 home starts. He'll be facing a struggling Arizona offense, so expect another strong outing here. LA also comes in playing great baseball, as they are 7-1 in their last 8. Bet the Dodgers -171! 

15* CUBS/PHILLIES MLB SHARP PLAY on Phillies -148

My money is on the Phillies to cash in a winning ticket at home against the Cubs. This might seem like a big price to back Philadelphia given Chicago has Jon Lester on the mound, but this is all about Phillies starter Aaron Nola, who is putting up Cy Young numbers. Nola is 15-3 with a 2.10 ERA and 0.966 WHIP in 27 starts. He's also got a ridiculous 1.94 ERA and 0.977 WHIP in 13 home starts and the Phillies have only ended up on the losing end of one of those outings. Bet the Phillies -148! 

15* METS/GIANTS MLB SHARP PLAY on Giants -114

My money is on the Giants to cash in an easy win at home against the Mets on Friday. San Francisco had their 4-game winning streak snapped last night in the series finale against the Diamondbacks, but I'm confident they bounce back in a big way here. SF will have Andrew Suarez on the mound and he's got a rock-solid 3.39 ERA in 11 home starts and a red-hot 2.87 ERA over his last 3 starts. Zach Wheeler will take the mound for New York and the Mets have dropped 9 of his last 12 starts in a series opener and New York as a team is just 16-40 in their last 56 after a game where they scored 5 or more runs. Bet the Giants -114! 

15* MARINERS/A'S MLB SHARP PLAY on A's -135

My money is on the A's to cash in an easy win at home against the Mariners on Thursday. Oakland has proven to be one of the best teams in the majors and should have a big enough edge on the mound here to win this one going away. Oakland will send out Frankie Montas, who has a solid 3.75 ERA in 10 starts. The key here is he's facing a struggling Seattle offense that has scored 3 or fewer runs in all 3 losses during their current 3 game losing streak. The A's on the other hand have scored 4 or more runs in 7 straight games and should be able to keep it going against Seattle's Wade LeBlanc, who has a 4.70 ERA and 1.305 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Bet the A's -135! 

15* BREWERS/REDS MLB SHARP PLAY on Reds +111

My money is on the Reds to cash in a win at home against the Brewers on Thursday. Cincinnati has split the first two games of the series, winning 9-7 on Tuesday and losing 12-13 in extra innings on Wednesday. The big takeaway for me is how the Reds are swinging the bats. I look for them to stay hot against Milwaukee starter Wade Miley. The key here is I think Cincinnati's Cody Reed can keep the Brewers offense in check. Reed has been sharp as a reliever since being called up earlier this month, posting a 2.79 ERA in 7 appearances. Many of which have come in high-leverage situations. Even with yesterday's win, Milwaukee is just 2-8 in their last 10 road games vs a team with a losing record and have dropped 7 of their last 9 following a win. Bet the Reds +111! 

15* NL CENTRAL SHARP PLAY OF THE DAY on Reds +135

My money is on the Reds to stay hot against the Brewers and cash in another win tonight. Cincinnati snapped a 5-game losing streak with a 9-7 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday and are in a great spot to make it two in a row. The Reds will send out the red-hot Matt Harvey, who has a 1.45 ERA and 0.911 WHIP in his last 3 starts. It appears Harvey has regained some of the form that made him one of the best starters in the game. I think he's going to come out with a chip on his shoulder after the Brewers were unwilling to part with the right pieces to acquire him in a trade. Harvey should also receive some decent run support, as the Brewers will give the ball to Freddy Peralta, who has a 5.06 ERA in 8 road starts and a 5.62 ERA in his last 3 outings. Bet the Reds +135! 

25* NATIONAL LEAGUE SHARP PLAY OF THE MONTH on Cubs -183

My money is on the Cubs to cash in a win at home against the Mets on Wednesday. Chicago has really taken off since they acquired Daniel Murphy in a trade with the Nationals. With the way New York is struggling offensively, this could get ugly in a hurry. Cubs will have rookie Alec Mills on the mound and all he did in his MLB debut last week was hold the Reds to 1 run on 3 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Mills should get plenty of run support here, as Mets' starter Jason Vargas has a 8.15 ERA and 1.733 WHIP over 9 road starts. Bet the Cubs -183! 

25* DBACKS/GIANTS NL WEST GAME OF THE MONTH on Giants -108

My money is on the Giants to cash in a win at home against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. This is simply too good a price to pass up on San Francisco with ace Madison Bumgarner on the mound. Bumgarner has a 2.88 ERA in 15 starts overall and a 1.71 ERA and 0.993 WHIP in 7 home starts. he's also got a strong 2.60 ERA over 31 career starts against the Diamondbacks. It also helps he's catching Arizona in a bit of an offensive slump. The Diamondbacks are averaging just 3.6 runs/game over their last 7 and were shutout in yesterday's 2-0 loss to SF in the series opener. Bet the Giants -108! 

20* BREWERS/REDS MLB SHARP PLAY on Reds +108

My money is on the Reds to cash in a win at home against the Brewers on Tuesday. Milwaukee is getting way too much respect here and a big reason for that is Cincinnati enters this contest having lost 5 straight, but all 5 of those were on the road with the last 4 coming against the Cubs. The key here is the pitching matchup in this contest heavily favors the Reds, who will send out Anthony Desclafani against the Brewers Junior Guerra. Desclafani has been one of the better starters in the game in the month of August, as he's posted a 1.95 ERA in 4 starts. Guerra has also made 4 starts in August, but he owns an ugly 5.09 ERA. Guerra is also a mere 3-5 with a 5.76 ERA in 9 road starts this season. Bet the Reds +108!
