Taking the BRAVES. Like our Oakland play, we will fade Cincy here. Smyle for those of you who bet it, is a First 5 darling, 12-5-2 good for 72% Winners. Gray, well not so good. 4-10-2 28%. So there is that working in our favor. We know the Reds struggle hitting on the road. It shows as they got demolished by the light hitting Indians last night. Soler in from KC is on a nice little tear. Guy was a 40HR hitter a couple years ago. Change of scenery helping him out. Braves have some bats. Can't believe they are a dog here. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

Taking TAMPA BAY. Rays 13-4 last 17 in Boston! 13-4. That is not a typo. As a dog. Count us in. Also on the OVER here as that has gone 19-5-2 last 26 in the series with 5 straight overs here at Fenway. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS + OVER

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking OAKLAND. We see Musgrove with some nice road numbers with a .199 BAA and .96 WHIP. But he has been  hittable lately posting a 4.34 ERA his last 7 starts. His overall ERA has been on a steady rise since the start of June. Plus, as I have said on Mid Day Money since last week - This team is really in a weird spot for me. They are off back to back 8-1 wins, yeah. But I am not buying. This line looks a little fishy to me based on the last 2 games, and the overall look of Musgrove vs Montas. So we first look at Montas numbers and think, uh, 4.39 ERA at home. Nothing to get excited about. But this is where I think people are overlooking the guy, and why the line is priced as it is. You take out his 2 bad April starts here vs Minny and the Dodgers. And that home ERA drops from 4.39, to 2.90. That is what happens when you give up 13 earned in 6 innings. You get a ballooned number. He has been sharp of late. A's made some nice moved at the deadline. We all know exactly who San Diego thought they had but lost out on. Give me Oakland at this price. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

Taking the RED SOX. I am not a huge Garrett Richards guy by any stretch of the word. And, for me, this price is a steal. Boston head and shoulders better than the Tigers. Back to Richards. You see that ugly yearly ERA and a huge 7.55 ERA last 8 and you think Detroit might be worth a look. Well, he has actually pitched decent on the road 4-2 4.14 ERA in 12 starts (2-4 6.81 8 starts home). He has faced decent teams on the road - Houston, Jays, Yanks, A's, Rays, Mets. So not look he was teeing off on basement clubs. Dropping 4 in row - off getting swept in Tampa, this is a must win. With a day off to get their mind right, Boston the only way to look here. Let us not be fooled by what we have seen in the 42 innings of Wily Peralta. 2 home starts, 9.2 innings 4 hits 6 walks, 4 strikeout. You buckled the Astros for 2.2 innings. Then you had a nice outing vs the reeling Twins going 7 innings with 4 walks. Make no mistake here, Boston is not the Twins. And I need to see more than 2 innings 2 walks 0 hits vs a good team before I take you seriously. 5 runs in 5 innings at the Angels. 5 runs in 5 innings at KC.  At Twins for 6 runs in 3 innings. This is a must win spot for the Sox and I will lay the short number. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

4*  Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS

Taking the BREWERS. How can I not take Milwaukee at this price with Burnes on the hill. Brew Crew doing their best to improve their offense. Bullpen still solid. Short number and maybe one of those too good to be true lines. But I can't pass on them. Best road record in MLB as I type this. Braves not doing much to separate themselves from the NL East pack. Give me the small fave. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

Taking the REDS. Will fade Carrasco here. 3 starts in the minor in his injury rehab. 6.2 innings 6 hits 5 ERs 3 walks, 9 strikeouts - and of those 6 hits, 3 HRs. Call me crazy, I have been called much worse. But right off the bat I can't see him going more than 4-5 innings. Then we get to a Mets bullpen, that honestly, isn't all that high on my list of things I want to help me win. Add in an offense, and team for that matter, that has stayed put and not make any deals to help itself. Reds at least addressed their woeful bullpen and are trying to make a playoff push. For the Reds, Sonny Gray has actually pitched decent on the road this year. 5 starts, a 3.33 ERA. I'll grab the small dog here. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the REDS. A nice F5 win at +160 on Cincy yesterday on the Mid Day Money show. Today, more of the same. Cubs in seller mode. Not sure if Davies even makes this start. Much like Pitt trading Anderson before his start yesterday. Too much hanging over a bad Cubs team. Cincy still showing fight. Short number. Mahle 2.26 ERA on the road in 11 starts with a .189 BA Again and 1.06 WHIP. Bullpen always an issue for Reds, but Chicago pen not much better. 4* Money Maker CINCINATTI REDS 

4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES

Taking the BREWERS. Pirates in full blown sale mode. Who knows who suits up for this pitching staff tonight. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

4* Money Maker STL CARDS 

4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the PHILLIES. Nats just not playing well. Now the Mad Max trade talk heating up. Will grab the Phils here, but also take the over because both bullpens can allow 10 runs in 2 innings of work. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the ROYALS. Are you kidding me with this line? I put this out on the Free Pick Video, and used it in Mid Day Money. How the heck are the Sox, who crush lefties, I think 18-8 vs them this year alone, this short a favorite today? They are begging you to take Chicago. 10-1 last 11 here in KC. And barely a favorite. I'll grab the home dog on a 4 game win streak. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY ROYALS

Taking the TIGERS. Here we go. Another ugly dog like our Kansas City bet. Detroit in off of getting swept by KC. We will grab them at this price. And for me, who the heck is Minnesota to be favored like this? They are sitting in last place. They themselves come in off 2 straight home losses. They look lost. Still a terrible bullpen. Trade deadline hanging over the heads of several players. I'll take a shot here with a team like the Tigers who even when losing, are a team that isn't mailing in the season. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

Taking SEATTLE. Again, another team looking for a sweep. Plus money home dog. 4*  SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the PIRATES. Going to be a lot of ugly today. Sweep teams and Doggies. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES

Taking the ROYALS. Going to be a lot of ugly today. Sweep teams and Doggies. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY ROYALS

Taking the ORIOLES. Going to be a lot of ugly today. Sweep teams and Doggies. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES 

Taking the METS. So this is really about playing on Walker. What a bone head play that cost him 6 runs last time out vs the Pirates. Even with those 6 runs in a third of an inning, the guy is still posting a solid 2.99 ERA on the year. At home, nearly lights out. 1.75 ERA in 8 starts with a .95 WHIP and .178 BA Against. Now Ryu has been solid. Jays a good team. I just feel for me, this is statement game for Walker. He knows he messed up. He wants to redeem himself. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK METS 

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the ANGELS. Now - I know Cobb has some bad road numbers 6.37 in 7 starts, home much better 2.30 ERA in 7 starts. His last 3 games haven't been terrible though. 19.2 innings 13 hits 17 Ks 4 runs, 2 earned for a tidy .92 ERA .188 BA Against and 1.07 WHIP. If you watch the Mid Day Money show, you know my feelings on JA Happ. Add in the sulking and weight of a loss season for Minny, it will be a nice fade against this weekend. Nelson Cruz dealt - probably the first of a few Twins to be moved in the next couple days. 4* Money Maker LA ANGELS 

Taking the TIGERS. We didn't have Detroit yesterday, but we had them the two games prior. So, now 7 straight wins. Part of me wants to not really play in the Motor City Kitty's. A team projected for 60 something wins reeling off 7 straight. A wheel on the bus should get a flat. That being said, Peralta worth a shot as a dog. Solid numbers. 6 starts (7 games) 33 innings 20 hits. Ok 11 walks and 20 Ks. Not great. But a .94 WHIP and .175 BA Against and the guy is causing some problems for hitters. KC has not been good. I do have an over win ticket on these guys. It's garbage. Bubic off nice start vs the Orioles. Prior to that, 2 starts 8.1 innings 12 hits 10 runs, all earned 4 HRs 6 walks. Oh, the game before the 2 starts. 2/3 of an inning 3 hits 3 earned runs 2 walks and a hit batter! Not exactly inspiring. Tigers playing well. Will grab them as dogs. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

Taking BOSTON. Give me some E Rod here. The numbers don't look good on the surface. But I will dig into him facing the Yankees this year. You already know how I feel about the New York offense. 3 starts vs NYY this season. June 5..  5.1 innings 5 hits 3 earned 7 Ks.   -- June 27.. 6 innings 5 hits 2 earned 8 Ks. -- July 16.. 5.2 innings 2 hits 0 runs 8 Ks. Solid enough for me! We know Cole has had some issues since the sticky lockdown. Coming into last night, Sox had won 8 of the last 10 in the series. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

Taking the TIGERS, again. We ran out a nice RL win yesterday here. Maybe you just went ML. Today, we will go ML. We are taking our RL Magic to the Nationals tonight. So for me - simple thinking here. What is Texas doing? What are they excited about? Their ace was shelled the other night. Their best player is being talked about in trades. This team is a fade away for the rest of the season in my eyes. Now losses in 7 straight games. We like the Tigers F5 today because, 1 they are on a 10-1-3 91% F5 run and Texas has lost 8 straight F5's. But that is just some extra money for our pockets. Tigers now with 5 straight wins and again, playing so much better since their 9-24 start. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS

same write up as the rain-out Yesterday. Taking the TWINS. So Minny rolls out of the break with a 4 game win streak going on while Detroit has dropped 4 straight. They send an absolute dumpster fire to the mound today in Urena. The numbers are bad. Nothing else to say. I really want to jump on the Over 7 here also. Minny sending a rookie lefty to the hill in Game 1 of this double header. I just do not have faith in the Motor City Kitty's here with Urena. Guy has been brutal. 39 hits in 28 innings home innings, 325 BA Against - 16 Walks and 15 Strikeout, a 7.71 Home ERA. April 5th vs Minny. 3 innings 4 hits 6 Runs 5 Earned 4 Walks. May 8 vs Minny. 4.1 innings 9 Hits! just 2 Earned Runs somehow. 7-7-4-4-5 runs allowed his last 5 starts. Twins as a short road fave for me here. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

Taking the WHITE SOX. I will take Cease and Chicago. Not high on Astros. Ok, they rallied back against Yanks right before the break. But I am hesitant to back them here. I know they hit like crazy. I will gladly take the first place White Sox who have the  Best Home Record in all of baseball as an underdog. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

Taking the PHILLIES. I'll grab some Matt Moore underdog money here. Philly has won 5 of his 6 starts. He has been effective and Philly offense has been scoring runs. Marlins in a slump. And as much as I like Alcantara, he shouldn't be any kind of favorite. Miami 4-8 in 12 starts. Marlins 11 games under 500 on the season, 12 under on the road. I do like Alcantara - I just can't back him as a favorite right now. Phillies came into break hot winning 7 of 10 and are in striking distance of the Mets. Bats have been hot. Might be looking at a home sweep in this double header today. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

4* Money Maker LA ANGELS

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH PIRATES 

Taking SEATTLE. Tailon with an 11.12 ERA in 5 road starts and is laying 150. Is this a joke? Maybe I should be taking the Yanks thinking there is no way this line should be this high and they are begging me to take the Mariners. If Tailon was transplanted to the the 1996-2004 New York teams I don't know if I would back him on the road. Would probably play an Over with that lineup! This lineup. Come on. If you watch Mid Day Money you know exactly how I feel about that. James is good for 4 or 5 runs in his start tonight. . Again, Sheffield is no King Felix with his 5+ ERA. Guy starts and its an auto 4 spot for opposing teams. But I still think there is value here as the Yankees are in a complete mess and this is an inflated line based on the pinstripes. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

Taking the TWINS. Berrios 12-2 2.77 ERA career vs Sox in 18 starts. We had Minny last night. Sox lose Grandal last night. Forget about being down the other guys. You lose your starting catching. A guy who yes, he gets on base and helps the offense. But he is great with the pitchers. Maybe Rodon isn't sharp with someone else behind the plate. The guy has been great for sure. But I will grab the home dog with a guy who has success vs opponent. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the TIGERS. I think I puked a little in mouth backing Urena here. I will not go into his horrible numbers. I'll slightly mention that I do like Dunning. And he has a nice home ERA of 2.63 in 8 starts. That being said, he has pitched more than 5 innings TWICE this year 16 starts going 5.2 innings and 6 innings. He will go 4 or 5 innings giving up a run or two. Rangers have zero right laying in the -180 range even against a poor starter like Urena. I didn't jump on Detroit as dogs yesterday, but will grab this big price tonight. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS 

4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS - Almost went RL +149 here. I think Cincy can put up a few on Alzolay. Cubs heading in the wrong direction lately. I think they know guys are getting dealt pretty soon. Lost clubhouse and season. 

Taking the BLUE JAYS. I have said it before about Stripling. Guy is pitching well lately (2.45 ERA L7). Rays in a bit of a funk right now. Everything clicking for Toronto. Like the Reds, almost went RL +155. 4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS 

4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES. Had Colorado yesterday, will come  back today. Oviedo has terrible road numbers. At least Chi Chi is better home. Plus, Rockies one of the best home teams in all of MLB. 

Taking the PIRATES. Line looks a bit low to me considering Milwaukee has reeled off 9 in a row. Not high on Houser either as he has been hit the last 2 times out. Brubaker solid at home with a .222 BAA and .92 WHIP. Will grab the home dog here. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH PIRATES 

Taking the PHILLIES. Have o grab Wheeler at this price. Guy is dealing. 3 runs allowed in his last 4 games. Actually. All 3 in his game vs the Nats. 7 inning 4 hits 0 runs vs Mets. 6  innings 5 hits no runs vs Dodgers. 8 innings 4 hits 0 runs vs Braves. .77 WHIP at home and a .181 BAA. 76Ks in 61.1 innings, just 39 hits. Padres off a tough one vs Reds. Paddock will come out for 5/6 innings. 6 guys out of the bullpen last night. Phils decent at home, and I think we have the edge on the mound. Bullpen always a concern when backing Philly. So maybe look at the first 5 when the line comes up. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the ROCKIES. I didn't want any part of Colorado laying 150, 180 or whatever to the Pirates. But much like when they were dogs to San Diego, will jump right on board. I think this guys have the 2nd or 3rd most home wins in baseball. And St Louis, 6 games under .500 on the road St Louis, and Adam Wainwright, 6.30 ERA on the road in 5 starts deserve to be favored. Not buying it. I know MLB Favorites have been cashing at a crazy 58% clip this season. But it is a dog day for me. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES 

Taking the REDS. Give me some Castillo here. Guy has been terrific - a 1.71 ERA through is last 5 starts, looks like he found a groove after a rough start to the year. We had the Reds when we though Snell the Road Gas Can was getting the start only to be scratched. Looking for them to get it done here though. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the NATS. Will ride Washington who is absolutely blazing hot right now. LA has won 5 straight and have Gonsolin who has some decent numbers on the hill tonight. But - 4 starts, 13 innings. On the road just 5.1 innings of work in 2 starts. The way the Nats are hitting right now - you're telling me I get them at plus money against this Dodgers bullpen. Sign me up. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking ARIZONA. Had the D-backs last night, will come back with them again tonight. Caleb Smith has not been bad. This is his 5th straight start. Not counting his 1 April start. Last 5 games - again, stretching things out as he was in the pen. 26.1 innings 16 hits 27 Strikeout 8 earned.. 4 allowed in one game vs Angels. I don't expect much offense out of the Cards. They are not a good team. He has gone 6 innings in his last 2 starts after 4.1 and back to back 5 inning outings. And we are getting plus  money from C-Mart. Come on. Straight auto-fade when I see his name on the ticket. Especially as a favorite. Doggy all day for me here. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Taking the REDS. Snell has not been that good on the road. He has been flat out awful! 10.36 road ERA 2+ WHIP. A .328  BA Against. He's 0-3 and the team winless in all 8 starts. I said when he backed him at home the other day.. At home, we take the shot. Here no way. Reds play better at home. And honestly, he had a great 2018. Just look at the numbers before and after. Fluke. Possibly. His home numbers say he is good. But not good enough to be a big road favorite like this. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS

4* Money Maker KC ROYALS

4* Money Maker LA ANGELS 

Taking the RED SOX. No way the Yankees get swept! They have Cole on the hill. This guy has been whining for days about the sticky. Why? His last 2 starts 15 innings 4 earned 7 hits 10 Ks. Though 3 walks vs KC last game. Go back 3 games and he gave up 2 earned in those 6 innings. Texas and Tampa got him for 5 spots. I can't really say the guy is pitching bad - But why is he center stage complaining? ERod has been brutal. I won't bother looking for some positive spin on him. This game just screams to fade Cole the way he has been talking. Since MLB first mentioned the sticky crackdown - Cole has a 3.81 ERA in those four starts — -- before, 1.78 through his first 11. Worth a shot on the home dog in a bitter rivalry. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

Taking the TIGERS. Look. I know all about the red-hot Astros. Yes, they hit lefties. Yes the offense is a beast. But this is a fade of Odorizzi. Houston 3-4 in his starts. Detroit beat him back in April 8-2. Yeah Yeah. April. Nearly July. Understood. But Jake is going 5 here tops. I think Tigers can get some runs. Worth a shot at this price on the youngster. Off the double dip, heading home tomorrow. Maybe we get some starters sitting out of the Houston lineup. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS

Taking the DIAMONDBACKS. Had these guys the other night breaking their losing streak, will come back here. I like Woodruff. Kid is having a monster year. But maybe the crackdown on pitchers gets his numbers back into the norm. Smith is a guy they are stretching out. You know the Brewers offense is not their strength. Feel this price is a bit high for a team that has trouble scoring. Another dog on the ticket. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONBACKS

Taking the PIRATES. You really want to bet on the Sox? 5 straight losses. They are due though right? No way they lose to Pittsburgh again. Cease, who has a 5.19 ERA his last 7 starts, and is 2-3 with a 6.89 road ERA is the guy I want to lay 160 with to win. Come on. This line alone makes us play the Pirates on principle. As good as Chicago is, still sporting a losing road record. Pitt hitting a it at home lately. 6-1-6-11 last 4 games. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH PIRATES 

Taking the TIGERS. Who the heck are the Cardinals to be laying money on the road. This team isn't good. I understand we have a young Detroit team. But we have the clear edge on the hill tonight in Skubal. Kid has been solid at home, solid his last 7 starts, basically solid all season. Oviedo has a 7.59 road ERA in 3 starts. 3 runs in 2 innings at San Diego. 2 runs in 4.1 innings at Arizona. 4 runs in 4.1 at the Cubs. In fact, if we take the 7 innings he tossed in his last game vs Miami, he had competed 5 innings just once. How about STL with the 3rd worse road BA in MLB hitting a robust .210. I wouldn't be looking to be the Red Birds if they were plus money. Fade away here. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS
