Since Game 2 of their ALDS against Boston, Cleveland has gone under the total in 9 straight games leading up to tonight. During an identical 7-game period, the Cubs have gathered a terrible .288 team OBP and awful .643 OPS. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 8:08 PM ET

It almost gets boring writing about the pitching accomplishments of Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw. In what was an injury shortened season, Kershaw has compiled a brilliant 1.41 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in 24 starts. Kershaw is 9-1-1 under the total in his last 11 starts on the road.

Neither of these teams are hitting during this 2016 postseason. The Dodgers are hitting .218 as a team in addition to possessing a poor .660 OPS. The Cubs have a team batting average of .193 and own an awful .600 OPS.

This will be Jake Arrieta’s first start Dodger Stadium since 8/30/15, and he tossed a no hitter on that day. He’s also made 1 start against Los Angeles this year, and it came on 5/31 at Wrigley Field. He allowed 0 earned runs on 2 hits during 7.0 pitched in that outing.

Eagles @ Redskins 1:00 PM ET.

Play On: Under 45.0 (5*)

Philadelphia is allowing a paltry 12.7 points per game through its first 4 contests. New defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz has been highly successful in this role in prior stops at Buffalo and Tennessee. His players are certainly drinking the Kool-Aid he’s been serving them. He can also thank his offense for keeping his stop unit off the field. Philadelphia has averaged a massive 9:58 time of possession advantage per game thus far. The Eagles are coming off a 24-23 loss at Detroit on Sunday, and it marked their first loss of the season.

The Cleveland bullpen was rock solid in their 3-game sweep of Boston, proven by gathering a 1.74 ERA as a staff. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Dodgers (Hill) @ Nationals (Scherzer) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Over 7.0 (5*)

Both of these pitchers were shaky in their lone start of this series. What concerns me with Max Scherzer of late is the alarming rate in which he’s given up home runs. Scherzer has given up 7 home runs over his last 4 starts in just 23 2/3 innings of work, and that includes 2 long balls allowed in this series opener.

Left-hander Rich Hill has gone 0-4 in his last 4 teams starts and posted a lofty 5.03 ERA in doing so. In his start in game 2 at Washington, Hill allowed 4 earned runs on 6 hits and walked 2 in a mere 4 1/3 innings.

Those 37 outings averaged a combined 9.2 runs scored per game.

This NLDS has seen 3 of the first 4 games go over the total, and there’s been 7 or more runs scored on each occasion. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Army @ Temple 7:00 PM ET

Play On: Under 46.5 (5*)

Both of these team’s strength will be their defenses. Despite Army’s 2-10 record a season ago, the Cadets return 8 defensive starters from a unit that ranked #47 nationally last year. Temple lost three NFL caliber players from last season #20 nationally ranked defense. However, they still return 6 players on that side of the ball, and the rest of that unit attained valuable playing experience in 2015.

Temple finished last year with two losses against Houston in the AAC title game, and Toledo during a bowl contest. Army finished last season with 5 straight losses. This sets up a terrific college football betting angle.

Any team (Army) playing in its season opener with a total of 42.5 to 49.0, and finished last year by on a losing streak of 2 or more games, versus an opponent playing in one of their first two games of the year, and that opponent also ended last season on a losing streak of 2 or more games, resulted in those games going 32-6 (84.2%) under the total since 1992.

Atlanta (Teheran) @ Arizona (Greinke) 9:40 PM ET

Play On: Over 8.5 (10*)

We have the aces of both staffs going in this game, coupled with what seems to be a very high total, and especially so in a National League affair. A majority of MLB bettor’s immediate reaction is to go under the total, and thinking they’ve been handed an absolute gift. However, it’s never that easy in sports betting, and bookmakers just aren’t that generous.

Since returning from the DL, Arizona’s Zack Greinke has made three starts, compiling an awful 8.59 ERA, and all of those games went over the total. His pitching adversary tonight will be Julio Teheran who’s also coming off a recent DL stint. During his one start before and once since returning from the DL, Teheran collected a lofty 5.40 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. Both bullpen staffs have been horrible over each of their previous seven games.

Atlanta has gone 11-1 over the total in its previous 12 games, and that includes surpassing the number seven straight times. Arizona is 25-5-1 over the total in its preceding 26 games, and that includes 9-1 over the number through their last 10.

Atlanta enters today with a .246 team batting average for the season. Julio Teheran has an outstanding 0.99 WHIP in 2016. The Arizona bullpen has a sizable 5.16 ERA as a staff this year. These three pieces of data are significant.

Any National League road team with a total of 8.5 to 10.0, possessing a team batting average of .250 or less, and their starting pitcher has a WHIP of 1.15 or better, versus an opponent with a bullpen ERA of 4.50 or worse, resulted in those road teams going 38-12 (76%) over the total since 1997.

Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco has seen 7 of his 9 road starts go under the total this year, and his 1.97 ERA in addition to a superb 0.81 WHIP during those outings are a major reason why. Go under the total for a 5* wager.

Cubs (Hendricks) @ Rockies (Anderson) 8:40 PM ET

Play On: Under 10.5 (10*)

You would be hard pressed to find another starting pitcher in baseball hotter than Kyle Hendricks is right now. The Cubs hurler has allowed 2 earned runs or less in the last 10 and 14 of his previous 15 starts. Hendricks has compiled an excellent 2.15 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 22 starts this season. Colorado is 21-9 (70%) under the total this season when facing a National League starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.25 or less.  Tyler Anderson has pitched very well in 2016 at hitter friendly Coors Field. Anderson has a more than respectable 3.04 ERA during 8 starts at home. Take this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

A’s (Detwiler) @ Rangers (Perez) 8:05 PM ET

Play On: Under 10.0 (5*)

Ross Detwiler was brilliant last Wednesday in his lone start this season. He allowed no earned runs on six hits while walking none in 8.0 pitched during a 1-0 win over Baltimore. He’ll be facing a Rangers team that’s been shutout in each of their last 2 games. Oakland has scored just an average of 2.8 runs per game over their last 10 contests.

Texas has gone over the total in only 2 of its previous 15 games. Martin Perez has pitched significantly better at home this season as opposed to the road. Perez has compiled is 8-4 under the number at home with a stellar 2.47 ERA. Relative to this high total, I like this to be a low scoring affair. Take this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Reds (Straily) @ Brewers (Davies) 7:10 PM ET

Pick: Under 8.5 (10*)

The Reds Daniel Straily has been in terrific form over his previous five starts, posting an excellent 1.93 ERA and 0.77 WHIP during those outings. Straily made one starts versus Milwaukee this year, allowing no earned runs on 3 hits in 7.0 innings pitched.

Todd Tichnor is scheduled to be today’s home plate umpire. Games in which Tichnor has called balls and strikes this season have gone 14-6 (70%) under the total, and those teams involved combined for a terrible .300 OBP. Take this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.
