Cincinnati southpaw starting pitcher Amir Garrett has been superb in his first 2 starts of the season. Garrett compiled a dominating 1.42 ERA and 0.71 WHIP in those appearances. He’ll be facing a Baltimore team that’s hitting a paltry .216 as a team and collected a poor .595 OPS in 5 games this season against southpaw starting pitching.

The Mets bullpen has been inconsistent thus far, and that’s proven by their 1.59 WHIP as a staff. The Mets are averaging 5.4 runs per outing and belted 10 home runs in their previous 7 games.

That’s not good news considering he’s facing a Texas team that’s hit a whopping 17 home runs in just 9 games this season. Seattle’s bullpen has a sizable 7.71 ERA and 1.81 WHIP thus far. Martin Perez made 4 starts versus Seattle a season ago and posted a stellar 2.63 ERA while doing so. Bet on Texas for a 5* money line underdog wager.

Baltimore (Miley) @ Toronto (Sanchez) 7:07 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Baltimore +132 (5*)

What a difference a year makes. Toronto was one of the most offensive teams in baseball last season. They’re off to a 2-8 start in 2017 while hitting an anemic .193 as a team. The Blue Jays have also hit just 4 home runs thus far, and this from a club that socked more than 200 home runs in each of the past 2 seasons. Right-hander Aaron Sanchez of Toronto was much better on the road than at home last year.

Baltimore has gone 4-0 versus right-handed starting pitchers this season while posting a .301 team batting average during those games, and smashed 7 home runs while doing so. Baltimore starter Wade Miley is coming off a very good 2017 debut. Bet on Baltimore for a 5* money line underdog wager.

NY Mets (Gsellman) @ Miami (Chen) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Miami -135 (10*)

Wei Yen Chen has made 2 career starts against the Mets with 1 coming this season and another in 2016. He’s posted a dominant 1.38 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in those outings. The Mets are averaging 4.9 runs per game thus far in 2017. Since the start of last season, Miami is 33-17 (.660) against National League teams averaging 4.5 or more runs per game.

Both teams own an identical and impressive +1.2 runs per game differential this season. Any money line home favorite of -110 or more, possessing a +0.5 or better run per games differential, and is facing a National League team with a +1.0 or greater run per game differential, resulted in those home favorites going 91-37 (71.1%) since 2013. Bet on Miami for a 5* money line wager.

Mets (Wheeler) @ Phillies (Velazquez) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Philadelphia -111 (5*)

I don’t have a lot of faith in Zack Wheeler in his juncture. He made his first start in 3 season last week against Miami and allowed 5 earned runs on 6 hits in just 4.0 innings during that outing. Furthermore, he was shaky during spring training appearances, posting a lofty 5.11 ERA while walking 7 and giving up 4 home runs in only 12 1/3 innings pitched.

Vincent Velazquez made 3 starts versus the Mets a season ago and compiled a stellar 1.76 ERA in those outings. Velazquez made 12 starts at Citizen’s Bank in Philadelphia in 2016, and had an outstanding 2.88 ERA in addition to a very good 1.04 WHIP. Bet on Philadelphia for a 5* money line wager.

Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Pittsburgh -1.5 (+110)

The Pirates Jameson Tallion was brilliant in his 2017 debut start. He pitched 7.0 scoreless inning at Fenway Park in Boston while giving up only 5 hits and issuing 2 walks. Since 2016, Tallion is a perfect 10-0 in his team starts when there’s a total of 8.0 to 8.5, and Tuesday’s current total is 8.0.

Conversely, Cincinnati pitcher Rookie Davis was shaky in his initial start, allowing 4 earned runs in only 3.0 innings pitched.

Pittsburgh enters today with a .309 slugging percentage, and Cincinnati is at .478 in that same category. Current MLB betting odds shows Pittsburgh as a -180 money line favorite.

Any National League money line favorite of -150 or greater, possessing a team slugging percentage of .390 or less, versus a National League opponent (Reds) with a slugging percentage of .430 or more, resulted in those favorites going 46-6 since 2013. The favorites also had a substantial +2.6 run per game differential in those 52 outings. Bet on Pittsburgh -1.5 for a 10* Top Play run line wager.

Dodgers (Maeda) @ Rockies (Anderson) 3:10 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Under 10.0 (5*)

Kent Maeda has made 3 career starts at Coors Field, and all have been quite impressive. Each of those outings occurred last year, and Maeda compiled an excellent 2.12 ERA in addition to a microscopic 0.76 WHIP.

Tyler Anderson made 8 starts in day games a season ago, and all those outings stayed under the total. Much was due in part to Anderson’s sparkling 2.45 ERA during those starts. Anderson also pitched very well in 3 starts against the Dodgers last season, evidenced by his brilliant 1.83 ERA posted in those appearances.

Both team’s bullpens have been outstanding to start the season. Colorado has gone under the total in each of their previous 4 games, and Los Angeles has done the same during 4 of its last 5. Lastly, the wins will be blowing in from left-centerfield at 19 MPH during today’s game. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Miami (Conley) @ NY Mets (Gsellman) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 907-908

Play On: Miami +113 (5*)

I cashed in on Friday with Miami as a money line underdog and will come right back with them today. Miami starting pitcher Adam Conley has made 4 career starts against the Mets with all of those coming since 2015, and compiled a dominating 0.82 ERA during those outings. Miami is an extremely profitable 18-10 since last season as a money line road underdog of +100 to +125. Bet on Miami as a 5* money line underdog.

Washington (Guthrie) @ Philadelphia (Nola) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 903-904

Play On: Over 5.5 (5*)

The Nationals will go with 38-year-old Jeremy Guthrie on the mound. Guthrie spent all last season pitching in AAA baseball, and posted a large 7.17 ERA and 1.77 WHIP during 17 starts. He doesn’t figure to get much help from a Washington bullpen that so far has a sizable 7.94 ERA and 1.94 WHIP as a staff. On a positive note, Washington’s bats have been alive, proven by an impressive .938 OPS as a team thus far.

Aaron Nola made 6 starts during spring training games, and compiled a hefty 8.38 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 19 1/3 innings pitched. Nola has made 3 career home starts against Washington, all have come since 2015, and he had a terrible 8.43 ERA during those outings while surrendering 6 home runs in only 16.0 innings. Philadelphia’s bullpen has been shaky thus far, posting a lofty 5.40 ERA as a staff, and has given up 4 home runs in just 13 1/3 innings. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

NY Yankees (Tanaka) @ Baltimore (Gausman) 4:05 PM ET

Game# 921-922

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Masahiro Tanaka had a near perfect spring training, and then threw a dud on opening day. That leads me to strongly believe he’ll have a strong bounce back performance today. Tanaka has made 5 career starts (all since 2014) against Baltimore and posted a stellar 2.39 ERA during those outings. Only 1 of those 5 starts came at Camden Yards and that took place last season. Tanaka pitched 8 scoreless innings in that outing. The Yankees bullpen has been lights out in their first 4 games, evidenced by a brilliant .054 ERA as a staff, and 20 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings.

Kevin Gausman saw all 6 starts against the Yankees go under the total last season, and he was a major reason why. Gausman had an excellent 1.10 ERA during those outings, and allowed just 1 earned run in 20.0 innings during 3 starts at Camden Yards. The Orioles bullpen has yet to allow an earned run thus far. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Miami (Chen) @ NY Mets (Wheeler) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Miami +110 (10*)

Zack Wheeler will be making his first MLB start since 9/25/2014. The promising young right-hander has been recovering from Tommy John surgery on 3/25/2015. Wheeler was shaky in 4 spring training appearances, and allowed 4 home runs in just 12 1/3 inning pitched. The Mets took 2 of 3 against Atlanta in its opening series of 2017. However, they hit a paltry .198 as a team during those 3 games.

Miami is coming off a come from behind extra inning win over Washington last night. The Marlins Wei-Yin Chen made 1 start against the Mets last season and was stellar in that outing. Chen allowed just 1 earned run on 3 hits in 7.0 innings during a 5-2 Miami win. Bet on Miami as a 10* Top Play money line underdog wager.

Atlanta @ NY Mets (Garcia) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Over 8.0 (5*)

Atlanta starter Jaime Garcia had a lofty 4.98 ERA in 12 road starts and 2 relief appearances last season. Garcia made 2 starts against the Mets in 2016 and compiled a large 8.00 ERA.

Matt Harvey hasn’t looked like the dominant pitcher he exhibited in the infant stages of his career. Last year he had an uninspiring 4.86 ERA in 17 starts before being sidelined for the year due to injury. Harvey made 5 spring training starts and collected a sizable 5.89 ERA in those outings.

The weather forecast calls for winds of 18 to 21 miles per hour that will be blowing out to left-centerfield. Play on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Seattle (Paxton) @ Houston (Morton) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 975-976

Play On: Houston -112 (5*)

Seattle has scored a mere 1 run and amassed just 10 hits in the first 2 games of this series. The Mariners James Saxton had a lofty 5.82 ERA in 3 starts against Houston last season. Houston starter Charlie Morton is coming off 5 excellent starts during spring training which saw him compile a terrific 1.04 ERA. The Houston bullpen allowed 0 earned runs on 3 hits while striking out 8 in 5.0 innings during their 2-0 start against Seattle. The Astros flexed its muscle by hitting 4 home runs in the first 2 games. That’s nothing new from a batting order that hasn’t hit for an average but has exhibited enormous home run power over the past 2 seasons.

Cleveland (Carrasco) @ Texas (Perez) 8:05 PM ET

Game# 911-912

Play On: Texas +1.5 (-120)

Carlos Carrasco get the start tonight for Cleveland and there’s bit of uncertainty in how he’ll perform. Carrasco was injured last September and it sidelined him for the remainder of the season. He was only able to pitch just 11.0 innings in spring training games due to nursing a tender elbow. He also missed additional time in the spring while attending the birth of his first child. Carrasco has made 2 career starts in Arlington with both coming since 2015. He was 0-2 in those outings with a lofty 6.00 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.

Martin Perez of Texas was outstanding in 3 spring training starts. Perez also made 2 starts for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, and should be more than ready for his 2017 MLB regular season debut. Texas lost to Cleveland on Monday 8-5 in their season opener. The Rangers haven’t started a season 0-2 since 2007.

Texas finished last regular season with an outstanding 94-67 (.587) record. Cleveland went to the World Series a season ago and finished with a regular season record of 94-67 (.584). This sets up an extremely profitable MLB run line betting angle.

Any home underdog of +1.5 on the run line that had a win percentage of .540 to .620 last season, versus a team that had a winning record a season ago, resulted in those run line home underdogs going 65-23 (73.9%) since 1993. Those home teams also went a stellar 54-38 (61.4%) straight up during those 88 games. Bet on Texas +1.5 for a 5* run line wager.

LA Angels (Nolasco) @ Oakland (Gravemen) 10:05 PM ET

Game# 971-972

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Kendall Gravemen made 2 home starts versus the Angels a season ago, and he posted and excellent 1.38 ERA in addition to a 0.77 WHIP in those outings. As a matter of fact, Gravemen saw 11 of his 14 home starts in 2016 go under the total while posting a more than respectable 3.39 ERA while doing so.

The Angels will send veteran right-hander Ricky Nolasco to the mound this evening. Nolasco has made 3 career starts at Oakland, and posted a stellar 2.35 ERA in addition to a 0.83 WHIP in those outings. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Seattle (Hernandez) @ Houston (Keuchel) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 963-964

Play On: Houston -144 (5*)

You may be surprised to know that Seattle ace Felix Hernandez has struggled in 3 starts against Houston over the past 2 seasons. During those outings, King Felix posted an enormous 14.81 ERA and 2.90 WHIP. Seattle will be facing southpaw starter Dallas Keuchel tonight. The Mariners were a stellar 62-42 (.596) versus right-handed starter a season ago, but went a terrible 24-34 (.414) against southpaws.

Speaking of Dallas Keuchel, he’s made 3 home starts versus Seattle during the past 2 season, and compiled an impressive 2.25 ERA in those outings. Over that identical time frame, Houston has gone 13-7 at home against Seattle. Bet on Houston for a 5* money line wager.

New York Yankees (Tanaka) @ Tampa Bay (Archer) 1:10 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Since arriving from Japan in 2014, Tanaka has owned the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran right-handed hurler has gone a perfect 8-0 in his MLB career starts versus Tampa Bay while posting a shiny 2.82 ERA and impressive 0.81 WHIP. Tampa bay starter Chris Archer has a brilliant 2.08 ERA in 5 career starts at Tropicana Field when facing the Yankees. This game has all the signs of an old fashioned starting pitcher’s duel. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Cubs (Hendricks) @ Indians (Kluber) 7:35 PM ET

Play On: Indians +106 (10*)

The Cubs have won the last 2 games to force tonight’s Game 7. However, they’ll be facing an Indians team that hasn’t lost 3 games in a row since August 25th. As a matter of fact, Cleveland is 20-7 this season following 2 losses in a row. The Indians will also have their ace Corey Kluber on the mound this evening, and he’s been brilliant during 5 starts during the 2016 MLB postseason. Kluber has posted a microscopic 0.89 ERA in those outings, and that includes 2 strats in this World Series. Cleveland is an extremely profitable 21-4 (.880) in their last 25 games this season when Kluber is their starting pitcher, and that includes 15-2 in the previous 17. The Cubs Kyle Hendricks in his 4 starts during this postseason. Nevertheless, all 4 of those outings have come at Wrigley Field, and this will be the first time he’ll be starting on the road. Bet on the Indians for a 10* Top Play money line wager.

Cubs (Arrieta) @ Indians (Tomlin) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Josh Tomlin has seen each of his previous 7 starts go under the total, and is brilliant 1.76 ERA over that course of time has been a major contributor to those low scoring affairs. Tomlin was terrific in his lone World Series, allowing 0 earned runs on just 2 hits in 4 2/3 inning in Game 3 at Wrigley Field. The Cleveland bullpen was afforded a day off on Monday, and they’re sensational 1.56 ERA as a staff during this 2016 postseason has been vital to Cleveland’s success. The Indians have gone 11-1 under the total in their last 12 postseason games in 2016.

Jake Arrieta has compiled a stellar 1.08 WHIP in 3 starts during this 2016 postseason. Since 2015, Arrieta has gone 21-9 970%) under the total when the number was 7.0 or less. The Cubs are 17-6 (73.9%) under this year when facing American League teams, and that includes 4-1 through 5 World Series games. Bet on this game going under the total for a 5* wager.

Indians (Kluber) @ Cubs (Lackey) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Cubs -132 (5*)

I thought a bit outside the box in comparison to my usual approach when handicapping this game. It’s hard to find any flaws in the 4 starting pitching performances by Corey Kluber during this 2016 MLB postseason. Nevertheless, 3 of those 4 starts have occurred at home, and his lone road start resulted in a 5-1 loss in Game 4 of the ALCS against Toronto. Kluber has also gone a poor 13-20 during the past 2 season in his road team starts. Since 7/1, Cleveland has only twice had a win streak of 2 games or more when each of those victories came on the road.

It’s a case of urgency and desperation for the Cubs. Granted, they won’t be eliminated by a loss today. However, the odds of winning their first world championship since 1908 will be extensively diminished if the fall into a 3-1 series hole. Unlike Kluber, John Lackey’s recent pitching line won’t woe you. Nonetheless, he’s been a clutch performer throughout his career during postseason starts. Lackey is an extremely profitable 22-5 in his career team starts in interleague games. He’s also posted an impressive 2.62 ERA and 0.99 WHIP through 16 starts this season at Wrigley Field. Despite their Game 3 home loss, the Cubs are a MLB best 61-26 (.701) at home this year. Bet on the Cubs for a 5* money line wager.

Indians (Tomlin) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Under 8.0 (10*)

Both starting pitchers present extreme challenges for opposing hitters. Josh Tomlin has gone 6-0 under the total in his last 6 starts. His brilliant 1.96 ERA and 0.82 WHIP during those outings was a major contributing factor to those low scoring affairs. Kyle Hendricks has been lights out in 17 starts at Wrigley Field this season, evidenced by a superb 1.31 ERA and 0.85 WHIP during those appearances. Hendricks has also compiled a terrific 1.65 ERA and 0.80 in 3 starts during this postseason.

The Indians have struggled offensively over their past 7 games, collecting a paltry .183 team batting average and .575 OPS throughout that course of time. 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.

Cubs (Lester) @ Indians (Kluber) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Under 6.5 (5*)

Corey Kluber has been superb in 3 starts during this 2016 postseason for Cleveland, posting a brilliant 0.98 ERA, and each game stayed under the total. Cleveland enters the World Series having gone under the total in its last 7 playoff games against Toronto and Boston. Through that 7-game period, Cleveland allowed only a combined 11 runs (1.6 RPG). Unfortunately, in that precise time frame, Cleveland hitters had a dismal .192 team batting average, and a terrible .580 OPS. The Indians bullpen was phenomenal during their 8 games in the ALDS and ALCS, evidenced by its 1.67 ERA as a staff.

Jon Lester has allowed 1 earned run or less in 10 of his last 11 starts. The Cubs southpaw has compiled an excellent 0.86 ERA and 0.76 WHIP through 3 starts in this postseason. The Cubs hitting was inconsistent during the NLDS and NLCS. Throughout that 10-game period, they’ve collected a less than inspiring .232 team batting average, and produced a well below par .689 OPS. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

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

Play On: Under 6.5 (5*)

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. He’s allowed only 8 home runs in 167 2/3 innings, or what equates to 1 homer given up per 20.95 innings pitched. Since 2015, Kershaw has started 3 games against the Cubs, posting an excellent 1.63 ERA, 0.59 WHIP, and struck out 29 in 22.0 innings of work.

Kyle Hendricks has been terrific in 16 starts at Wrigley Field in 2016. During those outings, Hendricks has collected a 1.41 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and allowed a mere 5 home runs in 102 1/3 innings, or 1 per 20.47 innings. He’s gone 7-1-1 under the total in 9 home starts. Hendricks has a dominating 2.03 ERA and 0.83 WHIP in 2 starts against the Dodgers this year.

These two starting pitchers squared off in Game 2 of this NLCS, and it resulted in a 1-0 Dodgers win. If it isn’t broke than don’t fix it. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Cubs (Lester) @ Dodgers (Maeda) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Cubs -151 (5*)

The Dodgers starting pitcher for tonight is right-hander Kent Maeda. He’s been terrible over his last 4 starts, posting a large 9.20 ERA and 1.98 WHIP during that period of time. Maeda started the opening game of this NLCS, and allowed 3 earned runs on 4 hits while walking 3 in just 4.0 innings pitched. The Dodgers will be facing southpaw Jon Lester this evening. Los Angeles has gone a terrific 74-49 (.602) against right-handed starting pitcher this season, but they’re only 22-26 (.458) when facing southpaws.

Speaking of Jon Lester, he’s compiled an excellent 1.30 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over his last 11 starts. He’s also made 3 starts against Los Angeles this season and collected a microscopic 0.86 ERA and 0.67 WHIP during those outings. Lester is an incredible 18-2 in his team starts during night games in 2016, and his 1.94 ERA during those appearances is a major reason for that success. The Cubs are a superb 78-41 (.655) when facing right-handed starters this year. They’re also a very profitable 28-9 the past 2 seasons when installed a money line road favorite of -125 to -175. Bet on the Cubs for a 5* money line wager.

Cubs (Arrieta) @ Dodgers (Hill) 8:05 PM ET

Play On: Under 6.5 (5*)

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.

Rich Hill has gone 7-1-2 under the total in 10 home starts this season, and compiled a stellar 2.42 ERA in doing so. Hill has been superb in his last starts at Dodgers Stadium, posting a microscopic 0.53 ERA in those appearances. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Cleveland (Bauer) @ Toronto (Stroman) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Toronto -1.5 (+116) (5*)

Marcus Stroman has been in superb form over his last 3 starts, evidenced by a 2.70 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in those outings. Stroman has made 2 starts versus Cleveland in 2016 and compiled a dominating 1.29 ERA in those outings. The Blue Jays bullpen has been excellent during this postseason, racking up a terrific 1.06 ERA and 0.53 WHIP as a staff.

Trevor Bauer has been extremely shaky over his last 6 starts, further proven by a large 7.08 ERA during those outings. Furthermore, through that exact time period, Bauer allowed 7 home runs in just 33 1/3 inning pitched. That’s not good news when considering he’ll be facing a Toronto team which has smacked 211 home runs this season. Cleveland has been far less productive offensively on the road this season compared to at home. Bet on Toronto for a 5* run line wager.

Dodgers (Maeda) @ Cubs (Lester) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Cubs -1.5 (+112) (5*)

Jon Lester is a terrific 14-2 this season in his team starts at Wrigley Field, and has compiled an excellent 1.62 ERA during those outings. Lester has made 2 starts against the Dodgers in 2016 and posted a domination 0.60 ERA in addition to a paltry 0.53 WHIP. The Cubs are 59-24 (.711) at Wrigley in 2016, and possess a mammoth +1.8 run per game differential.

The Dodgers are just 40-44 in in away games, and an uninspiring 22-25 against southpaw starting pitchers this year. Dodgers starter Kent Maeda has been in horrible form over his last 3 starts, evidenced by a massive 11.17 ERA and 2.28 WHIP during those appearances. Bet on the Cubs for a 5* run line wager.

Blue Jays (Happ) @ Indians (Tomlin) 4:08 PM ET

Play On: Blue Jays -125 (5*)

Toronto will go with left-hander J.A. Happ on the mound today. Happ has enjoyed the best season of his MLB career in 2016 by going 20-4. Furthermore, he collected the win in Game 2 of the ALDS at Texas. The Blue Jays southpaw hurler made 1 start against Cleveland this season, and it was an impressive one. During that appearance on 7/3, Happ allowed 1 earned run on 5 hits while striking out 11 through 7.0 innings, and it resulted in a 17-1 Blue Jays win. Happ is also an extremely profitable 14-2 in his team starts during day games this season, and the southpaw’s stellar 2.99 ERA was a major contributing factor for that high degree of success.

I have concerns regarding Josh Tomlin’s start today for Cleveland. He’s allowed an alarming 36 home runs this season in 30 starts, and will be facing a Toronto team that’s smacked 211 home runs through 166 games. Furthermore, Tomlin was rocked in his previous start against Toronto on 8/20, evidenced by 5 earned runs allowed on 9 hits while surrendering 3 home runs in just 4 2/3 innings of work. Play on the Blue Jays for a 5* money line wager.

Blue Jays (Estrada) @ Indians (Kluber) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

Toronto’s Marco Estrada has displayed terrific form over his previous 4 starts. During that time period, Estrada has compiled a brilliant 0.98 ERA and 0.73 WHIP. He was outstanding in his 1 postseason start at Texas, allowing 1 earned run on 4 hits in 8 1/3 innings of work. Toronto will be facing a Cleveland team tonight that’s allowed just 4.1 runs per game this tear. The Blue Jays are 12-1 under the total on the road in 2016 when facing American League clubs that allow 4.3 or less runs per game. Since the 2016 postseason began, the Toronto bullpen has collected an excellent 1.29 ERA and 0.57 WHIP.

The Indians will go with their ace Corey Kluber for the opening game of this ALCS. Kluber was outstanding in Game 2 of the ALDS against very good hitting Boston team, evidenced by him allowed 0 earned runs on 3 hits through 7.0 innings pitched. 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.

The Dodgers are currently (10/12) a +135 money line underdog. They’ve gone 18-7 over the total this season as a money line underdog of +100 to +150. Those 25 games averaged a combined 9.4 runs per contest. Since 2015, Washington is 26-11 over the total at home when facing a left-handed starting pitcher. 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.

Indians (Tomlin) @ Red Sox (Buchholz) 6:05 PM ET

Play On: Under 9.5 (5*)

Both of these starting pitchers enter tonight in recent stellar form. Josh Tomlin has an excellent 1.75 ERA and 0.78 WHIP during his last 4 starts, and each of those games went under the total. Clay Buchholz has a superb 1.42 ERA and 0.90 WHIP through his previous 3 starts. Buchholz has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 6 of his preceding 7 starts.

Giants (Cueto) @ Cubs (Lester) 9:15 PM ET

Johnny Cueto has been in terrific form over his last 5 regular season starts. During those outings, Cueto has compiled a terrific 1.78 ERA.

Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Nationals (Scherzer) 5:35 PM ET

Play On: Dodgers -144 (10*)

Since 2012, Clayton Kershaw is a perfect 8-0 against Washington while posing an extremely dominant 0.88 ERA and 0.66 WHIP. Kershaw enters the postseason in spectacular form, posting a microscopic 0.36 ERA over his last 4 regular season starts. The Dodgers are 17-4 this year with Kershaw as their starting pitcher, and his 1.63 ERA is a major reason for that success.

This money line speaks volumes to me. Despite Washington sending 20-game winner Max Scherzer to the mound for this series opener, they find themselves as a +136 money line home underdog. The last I checked, sportsbooks aren’t generous nor stupid. Bet the Dodgers for a 10* money line Top Play wager.

Blue Jays (Happ) @ Rangers (Darvish) 1:05 PM ET

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

J.A. Happ has enjoyed a career year, and has been especially sharp during his previous 5 starts. Over that course of time, Happ has produced a stellar 2.80 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Since 2015, Happ has made three starts versus Texas and had a brilliant 1.74 ERA during those outings.

Play On: Red Sox -139 (5*)

Cleveland’s Trevor Bauer has made 2 career starts versus Boston with one coming this year, and the other last season. He posted a horrible 12.14 ERA in those outings.

Giants (Bumgarner) @ Mets (Syndergaard) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Giants -103 (10*)

Madison Bumgarner is been undeniably the best clutch postseason pitchers since 2010. The Giants southpaw has 12 career postseason starts, made 2 relief appearances as well, and compiled an outstanding 2.25 ERA while going 7-3. Since 2012, Bumgarner has been beyond dominant in 4 starts at Citi Field in New York, going 4-0 with a microscopic 0.62 ERA in those outings against the Mets. Bumgarner also possesses an excellent 0.74 WHIP over his last 3 regular season starts.

Noah Syndergaard has made 2 career starts at home versus the Giants, and his performances were far from inspiring. During those two outing which both have taken place since 2015, Syndergaard posted an unimpressive 6.20 ERA and 1.54 WHIP.

The Mets have been undoubtedly the better of the 2 teams over the past 2 months. However, this is a one game do or die scenario, and they’ll be hard pressed to be the Giants ace. Bet on the Giants for a 10* money line wager.

Orioles (Tillman) @ Blue Jays (Stroman) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Orioles +138 (5*)

Chris Tillman has gone 4-0 in his team starts this year versus Toronto and posted a solid 3.63 ERA. Two of those outings came at the Rogers Centre in Toronto where he had a stellar 2.38 ERA. Baltimore is 12-2 this year against fellow AL East teams when Tillman is their starting pitcher. The Orioles are also an extremely profitable 10-3 in 2016 as a money line underdog of +100 or greater when Tillman is their starter. The Orioles bullpen was outstanding over their last 7 games, and that’s evidenced by a terrific 1.96 ERA as a staff during that period.

Marcus Stroman was 0-3 in his last 3 team starts against Baltimore this year, and collected a terrible 8.44 ERA in doing so. Toronto’s bullpen struggled down the final stretch, gathering a lofty 6.88 ERA as a staff throughout its last 7 games. During that same 7 game period, Toronto average just 3.0 runs scored per game, and had a miserable .634 OPS. Bet the Orioles for a 5* money line wager.

Colorado (Chatwood) @ Dodgers (Anderson) 10:10 PM ET

Play On: Rockies +172 (5*)

Colorado is 9-2 on the road this season when Tyler Chatwood is their starting pitcher, and 23-40 in away games with the rest of their starting pitchers.

This will be just the 3rd start of the season for Brett Anderson, and he’s been brutal during the first 2, proven by him allowing a mammoth 11 earned runs on 14 hits in only 4.0 innings pitched. The Dodgers are coming off a 9-3 win over San Francisco yesterday, and they’ve gone a dismal 1-6 in its last 7 games following a win. Bet the Rockies as a 5* money line underdog wager.

Dodgers starter Kent Maeda has exhibited very good form over his last 3 starts, posting an impressive 2.60 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and had just shy of a 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Bet the Dodgers for a 5* money line wager.

Minnesota’s Jose Berrios has seen just 1 of his 9 starts this season be of the quality variety, and has a mammoth 9.27 ERA and 1.99 WHIP this season. Bets the Mets on the run line for a 5* run line wager.

Rays (Archer) @ Orioles (Jimenez) 7:05 PM ET

Play On: Orioles +102 (5*)

Ubaldo Jimenez certainly has been heavily criticized this year for pitching so poorly at time. However, that hasn’t been the case recently. Jimenez has a sparkling 2.67 ERA and 0.89 over his previous 5 starts. He’s made 2 starts versus Tampa Bay in 2016, and compiled a brilliant 0.75 WHIP during those outings. Baltimore is a terrific 45-26 (.634) at Camden Yards this season, and Tampa Bay is a dismal 28-43 (3.94) in away games.

Any money line favorite of -110 or more, averaging 4.5 or less runs scored per game, and they’ve allowed 4 runs or less in 3 straight games, versus an AL starting pitcher with an ERA of 4.70 to 5.70, resulted in those home teams going 87-29 (75%) since 2012. Bet on the White Sox for a 10* Top Play wager.

Indians (Bauer) @ White Sox (Quintana) 8:10 PM ET

Play On: Under 8.5 (10*)

Cleveland’s Trevor Bauer has gone 6-1 under the total in 7 starts against Chicago since 2014, and posted a stellar 2.49 ERA. Included in those 7 outings was 3 starts at Comiskey Park where he compiled a brilliant 1.27 ERA, and all of those games stayed under the total. Bauer is an incredible 19-2 under the total in away games since 2015, and 14-1 under if he’s an underdog of +100 or greater.

Since 2015, Jose Quintana has seen all 6 of his starts against Cleveland go under the total, and his superb 1.94 ERA throughout those outings was certainly a major contributing factor. Quintana will be facing an Indians team tonight which possesses a .265 team batting average. The White Sox southpaw hurler is 15-2 under the total this year when facing an American League team with a team batting average of .265 or less. Bet this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Mets (Colon) @ Braves (Gant) 7:10 PM ET

Play On: Mets -125 (10*)

The Mets Bartolo Colon has been in very good form over his last 3 starts, evidenced by a stellar ERA of 2.25, and a WHIP of 1.05. Colon has made two starts against Atlanta this year and was dominant with a 0.60 ERA through 15.0 innings pitched. By virtue of last night’s win, the Mets are now 15-4 in their last 19 games, and are currently riding a 6-game win streak.  Since 2015, the Mets are 24-6 during the second half of the season when facing a team with a win percentage of .380 to .460. As of today, Atlanta (54-87) is at .383.

The Braves John Gant has been in shaky form over his previous 3 starts, proven by a sizable 1.74 WHIP in those outings. Gant lasted just a combined 12 2/3 innings over the course of that time. After matching their season high 6-game win streak, Atlanta has proceeded to lose 4 straight heading into today. The Braves are an abysmal 22-44 (.3330 at home in 2016, and that includes an even worse 13-36 (.265) when those games are played at night. Play on the Mets for a 10* Top Play money line selection.

Indians (Salazar) @ Twins (Duffey) 8:10 PM ET

Play On: Over 9.0 (5*)

Cleveland’s Danny Salazar has seen 7 of his last 8 starts go over the total, and his large 7.53 ERA during those outing was a major contributing factor for those high scoring affairs. Salazar has made 2 starts versus Minnesota in 2016, and posted a massive 12.14 ERA.  Cleveland is averaging a robust 5.9 runs scored per game and collected an inspiring .807 OPS over its previous 7 outings. Cleveland won the opening game of this series last night by a score of 10-7. They’ve gone 15-5 (75%) over the total in 2016 following a game in which they scored 8 runs or more.

Minnesota has averaging an impressive 6.9 runs scored per outing over its preceding 7 games, and has gathered a tremendous .912 OPS during that period of time. As a matter of fact, they’ve gone 88-45 (66.2%) over the total this season, including 49-21 (71%) at Target Field, and has seen each of its last 8 games overall surpass the number. Tyler Duffey will pitch tonight for Minnesota, and he’s compiled a hefty 8.58 ERA through his last 8 starts.

Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Marlins (Fernandez) 7:10 PM ET

Play On: Marlins +121 (10*)

Jose Fernandez has been outstanding during home starts over his still somewhat young career. Fernandez is 33-7 (.825) is his career team starts at home, and that includes 17-2 (.895) when those outings came during the season’s second half. Through 14 starts at Marlins Park in 2016, Fernandez has compiled an excellent 1.91 ERA. The power throwing right-hander is also 4-0 with a stellar 2.88 ERA in his career team starts versus the Dodgers. Miami received an emotional lift on Tuesday when cleanup hitter and star Giancarlo Stanton was activated following an extended stay on the disabled list.

Clayton Kershaw will make his first start on Friday since 6/26. Kershaw is returning from a herniated disc injury. By no means am I pretending to be a medical professional, but it’s hard for me to imagine Kershaw being as dominant as he was prior to that injury. If the Dodgers weren’t destined for postseason action, it would be safe to assume that Kershaw would’ve been shut down for the remainder of 2016. Nevertheless, let’s just say he needs to prove to me that he’s fully recovered. In his one start versus Miami this season, Kershaw allowed 5 earned runs in through 7.0 innings of work. The Dodgers didn’t play on Thursday, and they’ve gone 14-21 this season following an off day. The Dodgers do enter tonight on a 5-game win streak. However, they’ve gone 1-8 since 2015 after winning 4 or more games in a row. Play on the Marlins for a 10* Top Play money line underdog wager.

Giants (Samardzija) @ Rockies (Anderson) 8:40 PM ET

Play On: Rockies -123 (5*)

Colorado has averaged 7.4 runs scored per game, and compiled a terrific .925 OPS over their previous seven outings. During that exact same time period, San Francisco is averaging 2.4 runs score per game, and collected a pathetic .445 OPS. As a matter of fact, the Giants have been only able to amass 4 hits or less in each of their preceding five games. Colorado’s Tyler Anderson has gone 7-3 in his home team starts this, and posted a very respectable 3.11 ERA in doing so. What’s even more impressive regarding Anderson, he’s allowed only 6 home runs in 66 2/3 inning pitched at Coors Field. Colorado is 6-3 through its prior 9 games. San Francisco is an awful 16-32 over their last 48 games. Take the Rockies for a 5* money line wager.

Blue Jays (Sanchez) @ Yankees (Cessa) 7:05 PM ET

Play On: Under 8.5 (10*)

Aaron Sanchez is 10-1 under the total during his previous 11 starts, and allowed just 2 earned runs or less on 9 of those occasions. Sanchez has a 0.71 ERA in 2 starts versus the Yankees, and a stellar 2.62 ERA over 15 road starts. Toronto is 42-24 (63.6%) under the total on the road this season.

Red Sox (Pomeranz) @ Padres (Jackson) 4:40 PM ET

Play On: Red Sox -1.5 (-135) 10*

Edwin Jackson has been in absolute terrible form over his last three starts, evidenced by a massive 13.88 ERA, 2.83 WHIP, and issued 5 more walks than strikeouts during those outings. The Padres enter Monday’s matinee affair with a futile 12-32 record this year in day games. San Diego is averaging an anemic 2.9 runs scored per contest throughout their previous 8 games.

Drew Pomeranz has been in very good form over his last three starts, proven by a solid 3.06 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and a better than 7:1 strikeout to walk ratio thru that period of time. Boston has scored 8 runs or more in 5 of its last 8, and pounded out 12 hits or more during 6 of their previous 9 games. Take the Red Sox on the run line for a 10* Top Play wager.

Royals (Kennedy) @ Twins (Berrios) 2:10 PM ET

Play On: Royals -1.5 (+125) (5*)

Kansas City right-hander Ian Kennedy has made three starts versus Minnesota this year and posted a dominating 1.00 ERA in those outings. Kennedy has also been in outstanding form over his last seven starts, compiling a superb 1.77 ERA over that course of time. Kansas City is a terrific 30-12 this season as a money line favorite of -110 or greater, and is also 11-2 versus Minnesota in 2016.

Jose Berrios has been brutal over his last three starts, compiling a horrible 11.45 ERA, 2.64 WHIP, and issued 4 more walks than strikeouts. Minnesota is an abysmal 35-66 this season when facing a right-handed starting pitcher. Take the Royals for a 5* run line wager.

Nationals (Lopez) @ Mets (Lugo) 8:08 PM ET

Play On: Mets -117 (5*)

Washington’s Reynaldo Lopez has been shaky in his only five starts of 2016, evidenced by a hefty 5.33 ERA and 1.70 WHIP during those outings. Seth Lugo of the Mets has been impressive in just three starts this year. Lugo compiled a stellar 2.55 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over that short course of time. New York is an extremely profitable 79-45 (.637) since 2015 when they’re -100 to -150 on the money line. Conversely, Washington has gone an abysmal 22-46 (.323) during that precise time period as a money line underdog of +100 or greater.

The Mets are a resurgent 10-4 during its last fourteen games. While doing so, they surpassed Miami for second place in the NL East. Furthermore, they find themselves just 1.0 game behind St. Louis for the final National League wild card spot.  On the other hand, Washington has a sizable 9.5 game lead over New York, and hasn’t been legitimately threatened regarding the division’s top spot for about two months now. That being said, desperation, urgency, and starting pitching clearly favors the Mets tonight. Take the Mets for a 5* money line wager.

White Sox (Quintana) @ Twins (Santana) 8:10 PM ET

Play On: White Sox -112 (5*)

Jose Quintana has been in excellent form over his last 8 starts, evidenced by a stellar 2.36 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through that course of time. The White are a very profitable 9-3 against the Twins in 2016.

Minnesota has lost 13 games in a row. During it last 7, they’re allowing 7.7 runs per game, and opposing hitters have an astronomical 1.002 OPS. Ervin Santana has made 3 starts this year versus the White Sox, and had a lofty 1.59 WHIP during those outings. Play on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Play On: A’s +160 (5*)

Kendall Gravemen has displayed very good form over his last four starts, posting a 1.88 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in those outings. Gravemen made two starts against Houston since 7/9/16 and went 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. The Oakland bullpen has been more than respectable during its previous seven games, compiling a stellar 2.61 ERA as a staff.

Colin McHugh has been in terrible form over his last four starts, evidenced by a sizable 6.64 ERA and 1.77 WHIP thru that time period. McHugh has started twice against Oakland this season, and compiled a less than inspiring 5.56 ERA and 1.59 WHIP. Houston possesses a poor .694 OPS throughout their preceding seven games. Take the A’s for a 5* money line underdog wager.

Rays (Odorizzi) @ Red Sox (Pomeranz) 7:10 PM ET

Play On: Red Sox -1.5 (+119) (5*)

Drew Pomeranz is finally starting to pitch like the Red Sox believed he would when they traded for him. During his last three starts, Pomeranz compiled a stellar 2.41 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. He’s faced Tampa Bay once this season and allowed 2 earned runs while striking out 11 in 6.0 innings of work.

Tampa Bay’s Jake Odorizzi has made two starts at Fenway Park in 2016 and didn’t fare very well at all. During those pair of outings, Odorizzi posted a large 9.00 ERA and 1.77 WHIP. Tampa Bay is 2-16 on the road this season against teams with a +0.5 or better run per game differential. Boston enters today at +1.0 for the season. Take the Red Sox for a 5* run line wager.

Dodgers (Maeda) @ Rockies (Gray) 8:40 PM ET

Play On: Dodgers -120 (5*)

Kent Maeda has been dominant in three starts against Colorado this year. During those outings he’s compiled an excellent 1.41 ERA and 0.75 WHIP.

Jon Gray of Colorado has exhibited horrible form over his last four starts, evidenced by a massive 10.00 ERA through that course of time. Gray doesn’t figure to get much assistance from his bullpen. Colorado relievers have compiled a terrible 8.05 ERA over the last seven game. They certainly can’t use pitching at Coors Field since 5 of those 7 games were played on the road. Take the Dodgers for a 5* money line wager.

Rays (Andriese) @ Red Sox (Porcello) 7:10 PM ET

Play On: Red Sox -1.5 (+106) (5*)

Boston has gone a perfect 13-0 at home this season when Rick Porcello is their starting pitcher, and 11 of those wins were by 2 runs or more. Porcello has been a major part of that success, posting a stellar 2.96 ERA throughout those 13 outings. Porcello has also shown very good form in his last three starts overall, proven by a 2.08 ERA and 0.83 WHIP during that course of time.

Matt Andriese has been shaky over his previous three starts, demonstrated by a sizable 7.72 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. The Rays will be facing a Red Sox team today that possesses a +0.9 run per game differential this season. That doesn’t bode well for Tampa Bay. Especially considering they’ve gone 2-15 this year on the road against teams with +0.5 or better run per game differential. Take the Red Sox for a 5* run line wager.

White Sox (Shields) @ Tigers (Boyd) 7:10 PM ET

Play On: Tigers -1.5 (+105) (5*)

Matt Boyd has displayed brilliant pitching form over his preceding three starts, corroborated by a 1.89 ERA and 0.90 WHIP through that period. Boyd has also gone a very profitable 7-1 in his teams starts in the second half of this season, and Detroit had a substantial +2.3 run per game differential. Despite failing to score on Sunday, Detroit still maintains an impressive .834 OPS, and has averaged 5.9 runs per outing over their previous seven games. Detroit is 5-1 at home versus the White Sox this season, and 4 of those wins came by 2 runs or more.

The White Sox James Shield has shown brutal form during the course of his last five starts, substantiated by a mammoth 13.95 ERA thru that time span. Shields has started three times against Detroit in 2016, and his 7.88 ERA and 2.00 WHIP during those outings leaves much to be desired. Take the Tigers for a 5* run line wager.

Oakland (Triggs) @ St. Louis (Garcia) 2:15 PM ET

Play On: Oakland +158 (5*)

Andrew Triggs has been impressive in his four starts since being called up from the minors. During those outings he's posted a stellar 2.41 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. He can certainly count on his bullpen if need be. The A's relivers have been lights out over their last eight games.

Jaime Garcia has been in terrible form in his last two starting, evidenced by a mammoth 11.00 ERA during that time. By virtue of their 3-2 loss on Saturday, the Cardinals mind boggling home/away splits have continued. St. Louis is a Major League best 38-23 (.623) on the road. However, their home mark of 30-36 (.455) is difficult to comprehend. As a matter of fact, they've gone 1-8 at home this season when facing American League opponents. Take Oakland for a 5* money line underdog wager.

Mariners (Walker) @ White Sox (Rodon) 2:10 PM ET

Play On: White Sox -111 (5*)

Seattle’s Tijuan Walker has been terrible in his last three starts, proven by a large 9.22 ERA and 1.76 WHIP during those outings. Walker is 1-6 in his team starts on the road with a lofty 5.34 ERA, and has allowed 11 home runs in only 30 1/3 innings pitched. Betting against Seattle on Sundays this year has been a profitable venture. The Mariners are a dismal 6-14 in that precise role.

Carlos Rodon has been in very good form over his last four starts, compiling an excellent 1.46 ERA throughout that time frame. The White Sox are a mediocre ball club at best, but they’re a respectable 34-29 at home. Take the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Angels (Skaggs) @ Tigers (Sanchez) 1:10 PM ET

Play On: Tigers -1.5 (+125) (10*)

Anibal Sanchez has endured his struggles this season, but he’s been absolutely dominant over his last three starts at Comerica Park. During those trio of home appearances, Sanchez posted superb 0.86 ERA and 0.67 WHIP. At the time of this writing, Detroit was a -168 money line favorite. They’ve gone 23-7 this season as a money line home favorite of -125 to -175, and own a +1.8 run per game differential in those 30 games. He’ll be opposed by the Angels Tyler Skags who’s compiled a 10.95 ERA over his previous three starts. Take the Tigers for a 10* Top Play run line wager.

Mariners (Hernandez) @ White Sox (Sale) 8:10 PM ET

Play On: White Sox -127 (5*)

Although Felix Hernandez has looked like his old self over the last 3 starts, his recent struggles when facing the White Sox raises a red flag. He’s made one start each in 2015 and 2016 against Chicago, and posted lofty 6.39 ERA and 1.74 WHIP. Seattle’s bullpen has been shaky over its last 7 games, proven by a staff ERA of 5.79 and a hefty 1.77 WHIP. Seattle has gone a very good 48-33 when facing right-handed starting pitchers, but are a less than inspiring 19-26 against southpaws like they’ll be facing tonight.

Chris Sale has also made two starts versus Seattle since 2015, and had much better results than his pitching adversary tonight. During those 2 outings, Sale compiled an excellent 1.50 ERA, and struck out 32 in 24.0 innings of work. The White Sox are a solid 32-28 at home this season. Take the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.
