The Diamondbacks bullpen has recorded a brilliant 1.73 ERA/1.07 WHIP over their last 7 games. Arizona has gone over the total in just 3 of its previous 12 games. Arizona is coming off yesterday’s 6-5 loss at Cleveland in a game that went over the total of 9.0. The Diamondbacks have played 6-1-3 to the under in their last 10 after going over during its previous game. Give me this game to go under the total.

Reds (Ashcraft) @ Marlins (Garrett) 6:40 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Marlins -130 (5*)

Graham Ashcraft has a terrible 6.93 ERA/1.99 WHIP over his last 5 starts. The Reds will be facing Miami lefthander Braxton Garrett today. Cincinnati is a poor 11-19 this season when facing lefthanded starting pitchers.

Miami has gone a very profitable 22-10 this season when their money line is -100 to -150. The Marlins are also an extremely profitable 22-8 this season when facing National League teams that allow 5.0 or more runs per game. Heading into today, Cincinnati is allowing 5.3 runs per game in 2022. Braxton Garret has a very good 3.18 ERA and 0.88 WHIP throughout his previous 3 starts while striking out 26 batters and walking 4 in 17.0 innings pitched. Give me the Marlins on the money line.

Cubs (Sampson) @ Giants (Rodon) 7:08 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

The Cubs have gone under the total in their last 5 and there was only a combined average of 6.0 runs scored per game. The Cubs Adrian Sampson has seen each of his previous 4 starts go under the total while registering a solid 3.09 ERA/1.20 WHIP while doing so. The Cubs bullpen has a very good staff 1.61 ERA throughout their previous 7 games. The Cubs had their 6-game win streak ended on Thursday, but they bounced back with a win a night later. Chicago has played 10-0 to the under this season after winning 5 or 6 of its last 7 games. The Cubs are also 9-1 to the under this season when facing a National League lefthanded starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.20 or better.

Carlos Rodon has been strong in 8 home starts this season with a 2.05 ERA. Rodon has also seen 4 of 5-day game starts in 2022 stay under and his 2.32 ERA/1.00 WHIP in those outing was a huge contributing factor to those low scoring affairs. The Giants have averaged a mere 2.4 runs scored per game during its previous 8 outings. Give me this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

Rangers (Dunning) @ Angels (Detmers) 4:07 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: Angels -112 (5*)

Dane Dunning has gone 0-3 in his last 3 team starts with a sizable 6.40 ERA/1.98 WHIP. Furthermore, Dunning is an abysmal 0-10 in his road team starts this season with a lofty 5.33 ERA/1.66 WHIP. Dunning has made 3 starts versus the Angels this season and had an unimpressive 5.06 ERA/1.63 WHIP and allowed 4 home runs in 16.0 innings pitched. The Rangers bullpen has registered an uninspiring 4.69 ERA/1.43 WHIP over its last 7 games.

Ross Detmers has been in excellent form over his last 3 team starts while posting a 1.06 ERA/0.94 WHIP during those outings. Heading into Saturday’s action, the Angels bullpen has recorded a solid 2.84 ERA throughout their previous 7 games. Give me the Angels on the money line.

Game# 957-958

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Tijuan Walker has seen all 7 of his daytime starts go under the total in 2022 while racking up a dominating 0.57 ERA and averaging a healthy 6.7 innings pitched per outing. Walker has a glittering 1.83 ERA /0.86 WHIP while averaging 6.6 innings pitched per start during his 3 appearances versus Miami this season.

Pablo Lopez has a very good 1.37 ERA/087 WHIP in his 4-career home starts versus the Mets and averaged 6.6 innings pitched per outing. The Marlins have hit only 5 homers in their last 7 games. Give me this game to go under the total.

Phillies (Nola) @ Pirates (Brubaker) 1:35 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Phillies -1.5 (+100) (5*)

The Pirates J.T. Brubaker has a lofty 4.84 ERA/1.57 this season in 5 daytime starts. Through games played on Friday 7/29, Pittsburgh had lost 5 in a row. Additionally, Pittsburgh scored 2 runs or fewer in 5 of its last 7 games.

Aaron Nolan has been outstanding over his last 5 road starts with a 1.41 ERA/0.78 WHIP in those outings. Nola has also shown great form over his last 9 starts overall with a 2.73 ERA, a 65:7 strikeout to walk ration, and he averaged 7.3 innings pitched per outing. Philadelphia began the weekend on a modest 3-game win streak. Give me the Phillies on the run line.

Brewers (Ashby) @ Red Sox (Winckowski) 1:35 PM ET

Game# 975-976

Play On: Over 9.5 (5*)

Aaron Ashby is 0-5 in his last 5 road team starts with an awful 8.50 ERA/2.16 WHIP. Heading into Saturday’s game, Milwaukee had averaged a robust 6.4 runs scored per game throughout their previous 8 outings. Milwaukee has stayed under the total in only 36.8% of their 68 games when facing a righthanded starting pitcher. The Brewers have also hit 104 home runs in those 68 situations and averaged an excellent 1.53 homers per game.

Boston heading into the weekend having gone a dismal 7-18 over their previous 25 and they allowed an alarmingly high 6.8 runs scored per game during that stretch. Obviously, their pitching has been atrocious for just shy of a month. It doesn't figure to get much better with Josh Winckowski on the mound. The Red Sox hurler is 0-3 in his last 3 team starts with a 9.00 ERA/1.71 WHIP and surrendered 5 homers in 14.0 innings pitched. Give me this game to go over the total.

Merrill Kelly has displayed dominating form over his last 3 starts while collecting a 1.29 ERA/0.76 WHIP and averaged 7.0 innings pitched per outing. It should come as no surprise when pointing out that all 3 of those games went under the total. As a matter of fact, Kelly has pitched 6.0 innings or more during each of his last 9 starts. Kelly is also 7-2 in his road team starts this season with a more than respectable 3.18 ERA/1.14 WHIP. Conversely, Arizona has gone a terrible 11-25 on the road whenever Kelly wasn’t their starting pitcher. Heading into the weekend, the Arizona bullpen had a sparkling 2.25 ERA/1.00 WHIP during its previous 7 games.

As of games played through Friday 7/29, Atlanta had played 12-2 (83%) to the under in their last 14 at home. Max Fried has a stellar 2.73 ERA/1.09 WHIP in 12 home starts this season while averaging 6.3 innings pitched per outing. The Braves bullpen has a shiny 1.08 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games.

Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Rockies (Freeland) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Over 11.0 (-106) (10*)

Despite this game being played at Coors Field, this is an extremely high total for a game in which Clayton Kershaw is one of the starting pitchers. They’re begging you to take the under in this matchup and I’m not falling for the bait. Truth be told, Kershaw has made 1 start both this year and last at Coors, and he posted a terrible 10.24 ERA/2.48 WHIP during those 2 outings. Kershaw does possess a sparkling 2.49 ERA this season. However, Colorado has played 23-6 to the over since the start of last season when facing a National League starting pitcher with an ERA of 2.70 or less.

Since 2019, Kyle Freeland is 1-5 during his home team starts versus the Dodgers with a 7.10 ERA/1.55 WHIP and he allowed 7 home runs in 31 2/3 innings pitched. The Dodgers won Game 2 of this series last night 5-4 and it went under the total of 11.5. The Dodgers have played 6-1 to the over during their last 7 following an under in its previous game, and there was a combined average of 12.3 runs scored per occurrence. Give me this game to go over the total.

Diamondbacks (Bumgarner) @ Braves (Wright) 7:20 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Arizona +1.5 (-110) (5*)

Since 2013, Madison Bumgarner is a perfect 5-0 in his team starts at Atlanta with a microscopic 0.26 ERA. The veteran lefthander has made 2 starts versus Atlanta this season and registered a stellar 2.50 ERA/0.89 WHIP while averaging 6.0 innings pitched per outing. The Arizona bullpen has a shiny 2.14 ERA/0.95 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games. Arizona enters this series having won 6 of their last 7 and averaged a healthy 6.0 runs scored per game and a terrific team on-base-percentage of .351. The Diamondbacks will be facing an Atlanta team which has dropped 3 of their last 4 and were outscored in those games by a cumulative score of 25-13. Give me Arizona on the run line.

Brewers (Woodruff) @ Red Sox (Bello) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 977-978

Play On: Brewers -1.5 (+100) (5*)

Brayan Bello has made 3 starts this season and all have come since 7/6. During those 3 outings Bello posted an alarmingly high 10.50 ERA/2.50 WHIP. The Red Sox bullpen has an awful 8.10 ERA/1.80 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games. Despite yesterday’s 4-3 win over Cleveland, Boston is still a dismal 5-15 in their last 20 games and includes 1-7 during its previous 8.

On the other hand, Milwaukee enters today having won 5 of its previous 6 games and they scored 6 runs or more in all 5 wins. The Brewers last played on Wednesday when they recorded a 10-4 win over Minnesota. Since the start of last season, Milwaukee has gone an extremely profitable 25-9 on the road immediately following a win by 4 runs or more.  Brandon Woodruff has displayed good form over his last 5 starts while collecting a 2.20 ERA/1.05 WHIP during that stretch. Give me the Brewers on the run line.

Phillies (Falter) @ Pirates (Quintana) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Pirates +110 (5*)

Bailey Falter has exhibited terrible form over his last 3 starts with a 6.73 ERA/1.54 WHIP while allowing 4 home runs in just 13.0 innings pitched. The Phillies bullpen nearly squandered an 8-2 ninth inning lead before holding on for an 8-7 win. Nonetheless, Philadelphia relievers have a cumulative 7.22 ERA/1.73 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games which is certainly a cause for concern.

Jose Quintana is coming off an outstanding start against Miami in which he pitched 7.0 innings of scoreless baseball. Quintana is 6-1 during his team starts this season following a start in which he allowed 1 earned run or less. The Pirates outscored the opposition in those 7 games by an average of 2.3 runs per outing. The Pirates are a very profitable 7-1 at home this season immediately following a game in which they allowed 8 runs or more. Give me the Pirates on the money line.

Mets (Bassitt) @ Marlins (Alcantara) 6:40 PM ET

Game# 951-952

Play On: Marlins +110 (5*)

Chris Bassitt has pitched very well at the friendly confines of Citi Field. However, over his last 5 road starts Bassitt has compiled a sizable 7.09 ERA/1.50 WHIP and allowed 8 home runs in only 26 2/3 innings pitched. The Mets are coming off an emotional 2-game series sweep over their crosstown rival the New York Yankees. Now they travel to take on a Marlins team that customarily plays before home crowds of less than 15,000 spectators.  I look for there to be a bit of a mental hangover for the Mets on Friday.

Sandy Alcantara is unequivocally a serious National League CY Young candidate. During his last 5 starts alone, Alcantara registered a brilliant 1.42 ERA while averaging an extremely impressive 7.6 innings pitched per outing. The Miami hurler will be facing a New York team that’s averaging only 0.34 stolen bases per game. Alcantara has gone 11-2 in his team starts this season when facing teams which average 0.50 or fewer stolen bases per game. Additionally, Alcantara has a sparkling 1.66 ERA/0.79 WHIP in 10 home starts and averaged an eye-popping 7.6 innings pitched per outing. Give me the Marlins on the money line.

Rays (Rasmussen) @ Orioles (Wells) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 965-966

Play On: Orioles +101 (5*)

Baltimore will face righthander Drew Rasmussen this evening. Rasmussen has averaged 4.9 innings per outing over 16 starts. The Orioles are 15-6 this season when facing a starting pitcher who averages only 5.0 or less innings per outing. Speaking of Rasmussen, he owns a shaky 1.54 WHIP in 9 road starts this season. The Rays enter today on a 4-game losing streak and averaged a mere 2.3 runs scored per game during that stretch. Tampa Bay has gone a dismal 1-7 in their last 8 on the road and the 3 opponents (Reds, Royals, Orioles) they faced have a combined season record of 125-165 (.431). The Rays are a poor 2-6 at Camden Yards this season.

With yesterday’s win, the Orioles improved their season record to 49-48 which moved them above Boston and out of last place. Baltimore has now gone 14-4 over their last 18 games. The Orioles have also gone an extremely profitable 11-2 in their previous 13 at home with their lone defeats coming versus the AL East leading New York Yankees. Baltimore has scored 5 runs or more in 6 of its last 7 games. The Orioles bullpen has been superb all year and throughout their previous 7 games compiled a brilliant 1.34 ERA. Give me the Orioles on the money line.

Houston (Garcia) @ Oakland (Montas) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Under 7.0 (-130) (5*)

Luis Garcia has pitched 6-2 to the under in his 8 road starts this season with a stellar 2.05 ERA/0.97 WHIP. Houston has seen each of their last 2 games go over the total. However, the Astros have played 8-1 to the under in their last 9 this season following back-to-back overs. As a matter of fact, they’ve gone over the total in 3 straight games only 3 times in 2022.

Oakland has also gone over in each of their previous 2. The A’s have played 11-3 to the under this year following back-to-back overs. Frankie Montas has pitcher 10-1 to the under at home this season with a sparkling 2.44 ERA/1.03 WHIP and that includes 8-0 under during his last 8 at home. Montas has a brilliant 1.50 ERA/0.83 during his last 4 starts overall. Furthermore, Montas has pitched 11-1 to the under this season whenever the total was 7.0 or less and there was a combined average of 5.5 runs scored per game. Oakland has averaged a mere 2.9 runs scored per game during Montas’ 17 starts in 2022. The A’s bullpen has an impressive 2.86 ERA throughout their previous 7 games which is far better than its overall season numbers. Give me this game to go under the total.

Rockies (Freeland) @ Brewers (Ashby) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Over 8.5 (+100) (5*)

Kyle Freeland has exhibited poor form over his last 3 starts while recording a 8.44 ERA/1.56 WHIP. The Rockies has a lofty 5.00 ERA/1.51 WHIP on the road this season. So, pitching at Coors Field can’t be used as an excuse in this instance for Colorado relievers. Colorado is coming off yesterday’s 10-9 loss to Milwaukee. The Rockies have played 15-6 (71%) to the over this season following a game in which they allowed 8 runs or more.

The Brewers bullpen has been shaky over its last 7 games with a staff 7.45 ERA and allowed an alarmingly high 7 home runs in 29.0 innings. Milwaukee has witnessed the first 3 games of this series all going over the total with a combined average of 14.3 runs scored per outing. Give me this game to go over the total.

Guardians (Plesac) @ Red Sox (Pivetta) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 7:10 PM ET

Play On: Guardians +101 (5*)

Boston has allowed 67 runs and 77 hits over the last 5 games. As a matter of fact, the Red Sox were outscored during that stretch 67-12, and that was the worst run differential by an MLB team throughout a 5-game stretch since 1899. Nick Piveta has been in pathetic form throughout his previous 3 starts while posting a massive 13.50 ERA and 2.25 WHIP. The Red Sox bullpen has been brutal over its last 7 games with a staff 10.85 ERA/2.15 WHIP.

The Guardians are averaging 6.0 runs scored per game with a .318 team batting average and an excellent .367 on-base-percentage during its previous 7 outings. The Guardian bullpen has an impressive 2.49 ERA/0.87 WHIP throughout their last 7 games. Give me the Guardians on the money line.

Nick Piveta has been in pathetic form throughout his previous 3 starts while posting a massive 13.50 ERA and 2.25 WHIP. The Red Sox bullpen has been brutal over its last 7 games with a staff 10.85 ERA/2.15 WHIP. Boston has played 11-3 to the over throughout their previous 14 games. Give me this game to go over the total.

Braves (Fried) @ Phillies (Suarez) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Braves -1.5 (-109) (10*)

Rangers Suarez has made 2 starts versus Atlanta this season and was highly ineffective in both. During those 2 outings, Suarez posted a 7.36 ERA/1.64 WHIP in 11.0 innings pitched.  The Phillies bullpen has posted a lofty 5.56 ERA over their last 7 games. Philadelphia enters today having lost their last 3 and 7 of its previous 10 games.

Atlanta is coming off yesterday’s 9-1 home loss to the Angels. However, the Braves have gone 10-0 in their last 10 following a loss and outscored their opponents by an average of 4.3 runs per game. As a matter of fact, Atlanta hasn’t lost 2 consecutive games since 6/18. Since the start of last season, Atlanta has gone an extremely profitable 41-14 as a money line road favorite of -125 or greater. Max Fried is 6-1 in his road team starts this season with a terrific 2.51 ERA/0.79 WHIP and averaged 6.7 innings pitched per outing.  The current total on this game is 8.0. Fried is a superb 21-3 in his team starts since last season whenever there was a total of 8.0 or 8.5. Give me the Braves on the run line for a Top Play.

Astros (Valdez) @ Mariners (Ray) 1:35 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Lefthander Robbie Ray has made 7 quality starts in a row. During that stretch Ray has compiled an excellent 1.36 ERA/0.76 WHIP and averaged 6.6 innings pitched per start.

Houston has played 27-9 (75%) to the under in day games this season. The Astros have gone under in 7 of its last 8 and there was a combined average of 6.4 runs scored per game. Houston has also played 23-8 (74%) to the under in 2022 when facing left-handed starting pitchers. Give me this game to go under the total.

Guardians (Bieber) @ White Sox (Cease) 2:10 PM ET

Game# 923-924

Play On: Under 7.5 (-120) (5*)

Shane Bieber is 2-0 during his team starts versus the White Sox this year while allowing just 2 earned runs in 15.0 innings pitched, struck out 14, and walked none. Bieber has displayed good form over his last 3 starts with a 0.97 WHIP and averaged 6.7 innings pitched per start. Heading into Saturday’s action, the Guardians bullpen staff had a terrific 1.78 ERA/0.75 WHIP over the last 7 games and recorded just shy of a 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio.

Dylan Cease has gone 6-1 during his last 7 teams starts with a 0.65 ERA. Cease is 10-2 this season in day game starts with a very impressive 1.30 ERA and struck out 91 batters during 69 1/3 innings pitched. The White Sox bullpen has been lights out throughout their last 7 games with a staff 1.04 ERA/0.92 WHIP. Give me this game to go under the total.

Cardinals (Mikolas) @ Reds (Mahle) 1:40 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Cardinals -131 (10*)

We have the better starting pitcher and bullpen in Sunday’s matchup of NL Central foes. Miles Mikolas has been as consistent as they come in 2022 while posting a 2.54 ERA/0.96 WHIP throughout 19 starts. Mikolas has also been a workhouse while averaging 6.3 innings pitched per start over those 19 outings. The Cardinals hurler has gone 25-8 in his career team starts during day games. St. Louis has gone an extremely profitable 32-14 this season as a money line favorite of -110 or greater. Furthermore, since the start of last season, the Cardinals are 30-10 as a money line road favorite of -110 or greater and won by 2.3 runs per game.

Cincinnati is a dismal 5-23 this season when facing National League teams that allow 4.0 or fewer runs scored per game, and they outscored by a decisive 3.0 runs per outing. Tyler Mahle has gone 1-9 in his home team starts this season with a lofty 1.51 WHIP while doing so. The Reds bullpen is atrocious and can’t be trusted. Give me the Cardinals on the money line for a Top Play wager.

Marlins (Alcantara) @ Pirates (Keller) 1:35 PM ET

Game# 903-904

Play On: Under 7.5 (-110) (5*)

Sandy Alcantara has pitched 4-0 to the under in his last 4 starts with a brilliant 1.12 ERA/0.75 WHIP and averaged 8.0 innings pitched per start. This is nothing new for Alcantara who possesses a 1.76 ERA/0.90 WHIP during his 17 starts in 2022. Alcantara has also pitched 24-9 (76%) to the under in his career team starts versus opponents with a losing record.

Mitch Keller has been very good over his last 2 starts while allowing only 1 earned run in 13.0 innings pitched. One of those outings came at Miami in which he allowed 1 earned run on 5 hits during 7.0 innings of work. Heading into the weekend action, the Pirates had scored 2 runs or fewer in 4 of its last 5 games. Give me this game to go under the total.

Orioles (Kremer) @ Yankees (Cortes) 1:35 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Yankees -1.5 (-110) (5*)

This will be the first start of the season for Dean Kremer against the Yankees. However, Kremer was 0-3 in his team starts a season ago versus the Bronx Bombers with a large 8.03 ERA/1.95 WHIP. He also surrendered 5 home runs in only 12 1/3 innings pitched during those 3 outings. Since the start of last season, Baltimore has gone 13-59 versus American League teams that average 4.9 or more scored per game, and they were outscored by an average of 3.3 runs per outing.

Nestor Cortes has been outstanding in his day game starts with a 6-1 team record and 1.86 ERA/0.80 WHIP. Cortes has made 3 career starts versus Baltimore and had a dominating 1.06 ERA/0.88 WHIP while striking out 30 batters in 17.0 innings pitched. Heading into Saturday’s slate, the Yankees were averaging 7.3 runs scored per game while smacking 16 home runs throughout their previous 7 games played. Give me the Yankees on the run line.

Rangers (Hearn) @ A’s (Kaprielian) 9:07 PM ET

Game# 979-980

Play On: Over 7.5 (-105) (5*)

Taylor Hearn has been in terrible form throughout his previous 7 starts while recording a 6.75 ERA/1.83 WHIP. Since last season, Hearn has made 3 starts against Oakland and with a 6.39 ERA during those outings. The Texas bullpen has an uninspiring staff 5.40 ERA/1.69 WHIP over their last 7 games. Texas has played 11-4 to the over during its previous 15 games. Texas has played 19-9 (9.7 RPG) to the over this season when facing teams like Oakland (-1.2 RPG) who are being outscored by 0.5 or more runs per game.

James Kaprielian has made 2 unimpressive starts versus Texas in 2022 which is evidenced by him allowing 7 earned runs in just 9.3 innings pitched. Both games went over the total. The Oakland bullpen has been shaky at home this season with a staff 4.89 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. Give me this game to go over the total.

Angels (Sandoval) @ Braves (Wright) 7:20 PM ET

Game# 981-982

Play On: Braves -1.5 (-105) (5*)

Patrick Sandoval has a deceiving 3.86 ERA over his last 4 starts. I say deceiving because during that identical stretch, the Angels lefthander collected a poor 1.76 WHIP which surely points to him escaping disaster on more than a few occasions. The Angels are 1-9 during its last 10 away games. Los Angeles is also 0-4 in their last 4 and 2-13 during its previous 15 games overall. Los Angeles is also an abysmal 5-29 this season as a money line underdog of +100 or greater and were outscored by a sizable average of 2.7 runs per game.

Kyle Wright is 4-0 in his last 4 teams starts with a sparkling 2.16 ERA/1.12 WHIP and averaged 6.3 innings pitched per outing. Additionally, Wright is 11-0 in his team starts this season whenever there was a posted total of 8.5-10.0 and Atlanta won by 2.3 runs per game. The current total on this game is 8.5. The Braves are a very profitable 23-9 this season when facing left-handed starting pitchers and hit a noteworthy 54 home runs in those games.

Padres (Snell) @ Mets (Bassitt) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Mets -1.5 (+145) (5*)

The Mets are coming off last night’s 4-1 home loss to the Padres. It marked their 2nd straight loss. Nevertheless, New York has gone a red-hot 14-1 this season immediately following a home loss. The Mets are also an extremely profitable 6-1 this season after losing each of its previous 2 games.

Chris Bassitt has been outstanding in 9 starts at Citi Field this season while recording a 3.12 ERA/1.04 WHIP and averaged 6.4 innings pitched per outing. Bassitt is 31-11 in his career team starts as a money line favorite of -110 or greater, and those 42 opponents averaged just 2.9 runs scored per game. The Mets bullpen has a shiny 2.70 ERA/1.11 WHIP over their previous 7 games.

Blake Snell is 0-5 in his away team starts in 2022 with a lofty 5.85 ERA/1.65 WHIP. During his lone start versus the Mets this season, Snell allowed 5 earned runs on 7 hits and walked 3 in just 4.0 innings pitched. The Padres bullpen has been shaky of late while registering a staff 4.50 ERA/1.55 WHIP. Give me this game to go under the total.

Cubs (Stroman) @ Phillies (Wheeler) 6:05 PM ET

Game# 951-952

Play On: Under 8.0 (10*)

The Cubs won 15-2 at Philadelphia last night in a game that easily went over the total. However, the Cubs have played 16-5 to the under in their last 21 after going over in their previous game. Conversely, Philadelphia has played 6-0 to the under in their last 6 following an over during its previous game.

Despite yesterday’s 15-run scoring output, the Cubs have scored 3 runs or fewer in 13 of its last 16 games. This will be the first start of the season made against Philadelphia by Marcus Stroman. The veteran right-hander made 4 versus the Phillies last season and was dominant during those appearances. Stroman posted a combined 1.89 ERA, and all 4 games went under the total. Furthermore, in 5 starts on the road this year, Stroman has compiled an excellent 1.24 ERA/0.79 WHIP. The Cubs bullpen has a cumulative 2.30 ERA/1.14 WHIP throughout its last 7 games.

Philadelphia continues to struggle offensively having scored only 30 runs in their last 10, including 1 game where they scored 10 runs, and that means the Phillies averaged a mere 2.2 runs in the other 9 games. Zack Wheeler has been excellent in 9 home starts this season with an 1.62 ERA/0.84 WHIP and averaged 6.2 innings pitched per outing.

Marcus Stroman has a 1.15 WHIP in 11 starts this season. The Phillies have played 19-6 to the under since the start of last season when facing a National League starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.15 or better. Conversely, Zack Wheeler has a 1.08 WHIP in 17 starts this season. The Cubs have played 9-1 to the under on the road this season when facing a National League starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.15 or better. Give me this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

As a matter of fact, Boston has allowed 6.7 runs per game during its previous 13 outings. Additionally, Boston has averaged 2.9 runs scored per game, recorded a paltry .194 team batting average, and a horrible .230 on-base-percentage. The Red Sox are a miserable 12-27 in division games this season.

Alek Manoah has made 4 career starts versus Boston with a 1.80 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Heading into the weekend’s action, the Blue Jays bullpen has a stellar 1.54 ERA and 0.77 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games. During that identical stretch, Toronto hitter have compiled an excellent .320 team batting average and .352 on-base-percentage. Give me the Blue Jays on the money line.

Astros (Urquidy) @ Mariners (Gonzalez) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 925-926

Play On: Mariners +114 (10*)

The Astros are coming off yesterday’s doubleheader sweep against their bitter rival New York Yankees. Nonetheless, Houston is 0-3 in their last 3 following wins in each of their previous 2 games. Now the Astros head on the road to take on the hottest team in baseball that hasn’t played since last Sunday. Seattle has won 14 consecutive games as well as going a tremendous 22-3 during their previous 25.

Jose Urquidy is 0-3 during his 3 team starts versus Seattle this year with a massive 10.38 ERA and 2.62 WHIP. Urquidy also has a lofty 5.20 ERA in 10 road starts this season.

Marco Gonzalez has been tough in 3 starts versus Houston this season with a 2.56 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. The Mariners bullpen has a superb 2.20 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in their last 7 games. You may be surprised to know that Seattle is 11-7 at home versus Houston since 2020 and includes 4-2 in 2022. Give me the Mariners as a Top Play money line wager.

Guardians (Quantrill) @ White Sox (Giolito) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: White Sox -1.5 (+140) (5*)

Cal Quantrill has gone an abysmal 7-25 in his career team starts as a money line underdog of +100 or greater. The Guardians has gone a terrible 1-7 during its previous 8 road games. Quantrill has a sub-standard 5.84 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in his 2 starts this year versus the White Sox.

You can make a strong case that the White Sox have been the most underachieving team in baseball thus far. Nonetheless, they won 5 of their last 6 prior to the all-star break and will carry that momentum into tonight. The same could be said for Lucas Giolito’s first half of the season. However, since the start of last season, Giolito has recorded a dominating 0.57 ERA during his 5 starts against Cleveland. Giolito will be supported by a White Sox bullpen which has registered a brilliant 0.45 ERA during their previous 7 games. Give me the White Sox on the run line.

Yankees (Taillon) @ Orioles (Wells) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 915-916

Play On: Orioles +142 (5*)

The Yankees were swept in a doubleheader at Houston yesterday. Conversely, the Orioles haven’t played since last Sunday. Prior to the all-star break Baltimore went 11-2 during their last 13 games and won 8 straight at Camden Yards. The current total on today’s game is 9.0. Baltimore has gone an extremely profitable 10-4 at home this season whenever there was a total of 9.0 or 9.5.

The Yankees Jamison Taillon has been in poor form over his last 4 starts with a 6.75 ERA. The usually reliable Yankees bullpen has hit a snag of late and that’s evidenced by a staff 5.19 ERA throughout their last 7 games. New York has lost its last 3 on the road and is 3-7 overall throughout its previous 10 games.

Tyler Wells has pitched extremely well in his 3 starts versus the Yankees this season while posting a stellar 2.57 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. The Baltimore bullpen has been outstanding over its last 7 games with a staff 1.88 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. Give me the Orioles as a money line underdog.

Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Reds (Ashcroft) 6:40 PM ET

Game# 901-902

Play On: Over 10.0 (-110) (5*)

This would seem to be a very high total in a game in which Adam Wainwright is a starting pitcher. However, after careful examination that large number is justified. Since 7/9/19, Wainwright has made 4 starts at Cincinnati while compiling a huge 10.18 ERA and 2.04 WHIP during those outings. The veteran righthander has also struggled over his last 3 road starts overall with a 6.48 ERA. The Cardinals bullpen has a lofty 1.52 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games. On a positive note, St. Louis has scored 6 runs or more in 5 of its last 6 games.

Graham Ashcraft has displayed poor form over his last 3 starts with an 8.10 ERA, 2.18 WHIP, and lasted only 4.4 innings pitched per outing. It’s well documented that the Reds bullpen is among the worst in baseball. The Reds have amassed 10 hits or more in 5 of their last 7 games. Cincinnati has gone over the total in their last 4 and there was a combined average of 12.3 runs scored per game. Give me this game to go over the total.

Red Sox (Pivetta) @ Yankees (Taillon) 7:15 PM ET

Game# 977-978

Play On: Over 8.5 (10*)

Nick Pivetta has been brutal during his last 2 starts while allowing 13 earned runs in 9.0 innings pitched.

Boston has played 6-2 to the over in their last 8 and there was a combined average of 10.6 runs scored per game.

James Taillon has been in poor form over his previous 4 starts with a 8.57 ERA, 2.38 WHIP, and surrendered 7 home runs in just 21.0 innings pitched.

Game# 923-924

Texas will be reeling after blowing a 5-1 leading heading into the 7th inning during last night’s 6-5 loss to Seattle. Conversely, the Mariners have now won 11 straight and 19 of its last 22 games. That successful stretch also has seen Seattle go 10-1 on the road. Since 2020, Seattle has dominated Texas while going 26-10 versus the Rangers.

Michael Bush has made 3 starts this season and went just 1.0 inning on each occasion. So. Texas will attempt to piece this game together with a bullpen that has a sizable staff 6.68 ERA throughout the previous 7 days.

Robbie Ray has been brilliant over his last 6 starts with a 0.91 ERA/0.73 WHIP and averaged 6.6 innings pitched per start. Rays has made 1 start this season and 1 last while posting a 2.89 ERA/0.96 WHIP. The Mariners bullpen has an excellent 1.61 ERA/1.00 WHIP during its previous 7 games.

Brewers (Burnes) @ Giants (Rodon) 9:45 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Under 6.5 (-110) (5*)

I am not going to let this low total scare me away from what is the most logical bet to make. This has all the signs of an old-fashioned starting pitcher's duel and a low scoring affair. Both starting pitchers have been excellent since the start of the season and have been especially dominant in recent outings. Carlos Rodon has pitched 4-1-1 to the under during his last 6 starts while registering a 1.54 ERA/0.78 WHIP while averaging 7.3 innings pitched per outing. Corbin Burnes has exhibited terrific form over his last 4 starts with a 1.30 ERA/0.72 WHIP and averaged 6.9 innings pitched per outing. Burnes has mase 3 career starts (all since 2021) versus San Francisco with a brilliant 0.92 ERA/0.66 WHIP. Give me this game to go under the total.

Since the start of last season, Cueto has gone an extremely profitable 6-0 in his team starts as a road money line underdog of +100 to +150. The White Sox bullpen has an excellent 0.47 ERA throughout its previous 7 games. The White Sox have gone a respectable 24-20 on the road this season and made $100 a game-players $690.

Speaking of futility, the Nationals are 14-33 (.298) at home this season. Additionally, Washington is a brutal 7-33 (-3.0 RPG) in 2022 versus fellow NL East teams.

Atlanta is coming off yesterday’s 7-3 home loss to the Mets. However.

Game# 913-914

Play On: Rays -1.5 (+130) (5*)

I gave this out as a free play yesterday afternoon. I rarely use a free pick as a premium pay selection but this is an exception to the rule. The Red Sox Josh Winckowski has a lofty 4.96 ERA/1.52 WHIP during 6 starts in 2022. The Red Sox are 2-6 versus Tampa Bay this season and that includes dropping the last 4. Furthermore, Boston is a stellar 36-19 (.655) in non-division game this year, but a money-draining 11-22 (.333) when facing fellow AL East teams.

He doesn’t figure to get much help from a Rockies bullpen that has recorded a 5.26 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and allowed 5 home runs in 25 2/3 innings pitched throughout their previous 7 games. Colorado is currently a money line favorite of -115 in this matchup. The Rockies have played 13-4 to the over this season as a money line favorite of -110 or greater and there were a combined 13.6 runs scored per game.

Dallas Keuchel has a massive 12.92 ERA and 2.54 WHIP throughout his previous 4 starts. The Diamondbacks bullpen has a lofty 5.87 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over their previous 7 games.

Cardinals (Liberatore) @ Braves (Strider) 7:20 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Braves -1.5 (-120) (5*)

Since the start of last season, Atlanta has gone 9-1 versus St. Louis and that includes 3-0 in 2022. Furthermore, during those 3 wins over St. Louis the Braves outscored them by a cumulative score of 16-4.

The Cardinals will go with lefthander Mathew Liberatore. The Cardinals southpaw has been horrible in 3 road starts this season while registering a 10.97 ERA and 2.44 WHIP. That doesn’t bode well when facing a Braves team which has gone 20-8 versus lefthanded starters this season while averaging 5.9 runs scored per game and they smacked 47 home runs. The Cardinals have dropped their last 4 and 6 of its previous 7.

Spencer Strider has an outstanding 0.99 WHIP in 7 starts this season. During those outings, Strider averaged only 1.71 walks per start and that’s a noteworthy item. The Cardinals are a dismal 10-20 this season when facing pitchers that average 1.75 or fewer walks per start. Give me the Braves on the run line.

Game# 907-908

Play On: Marlins +1.5 (-130) (5*)

Trevor Williams has struggled over his last 2 starts while collecting a large 9.38 ERA, 1.83 WHIP, and allowed an alarmingly high 5 home runs in only 7 2/3 innings pitched. The Mets are a terrific 35-17 this season when facing right-handed starting pitchers. However, they will be facing lefty Daniel Castano today and they’ve gone a mediocre 16-14 versus lefthanded starting pitchers this season.

Speaking of Castano, he’s made 1 starts versus the Mets this season and allowed just 2 earned runs on 5 hits over 7.0 innings of work. Castano has a shiny 2.86 ERA in 4 starts this season and that includes 0.77 during his 2 on the road. The Miami bullpen has a more than respectable 3.20 ERA and has converted on 5 of 6 save opportunities throughout its previous 7 games. The Marlins had their 6-game win streak halted yesterday at the hands of Shoei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels. The Marlins have scored 3 runs or fewer in each of their previous 3 games. However, Miami is 27-11 this season against the run line immediately after scoring 3 runs or fewer in each of its previous 3 games. Give me the Marlins on the run line.

Play On: Under 8.0 (10*)

Josiah Gray has been very good in 7 road starts this season with a 2.01 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Despite the Nationals 11-0 loss yesterday that went over the total, they have played 8-4-1 to the under in their last 13 games. Gray has made 1 starts versus Philadelphia this season and pitched 6.0 innings of scoreless baseball.

Aaron Nola has been brilliant during his previous 5 starts while compiling a 1.70 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and averaging 7.4 innings pitched per outing. The often-criticized Phillies bullpen has been lights out throughout their previous 7 games with a staff 1.17 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. Nola will be facing a Washington team that has been outscored by an alarmingly high 1.6 runs per game this season. Nola has pitched 19-6 (76%) to the under in his career when facing teams that are being outscored by 1.0 or more runs per game on the season. Nola has made 1 start versus Washington in 2022 and pitched 8.0 innings of scoreless baseball. Give me this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

Triston McKenzie has been awful during his last 2 starts while allowing 13 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings pitched. McKenzie has also surrendered an alarmingly high 16 home runs in 77 1/3 innings pitched this season. That’s especially concerning given the fact that he’ll be facing the best home run hitting team in baseball. The Yankees have hit 133 home runs in 79 games (1.68 PG) this season and that includes smacking 6 taters in a doubleheader sweep yesterday. The Guardians bullpen has a poor 7.54 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and gave up 8 home runs during 22 2/3 innings pitched in their last 7 games.

Play On: Mariners -1.5 (+117) (5*)

The A’s will be facing Seattle’s starting pitcher Marco Gonzalez who has a 3.31 ERA in 15 starts this season.

James Kaprielian has been in bad form over his last 3 starts with a 6.28 ERA and 1.81 WHIP. He’s made 2 career starts at Seattle with a large 9.34 ERA, 1.85 WHIP, and both occurred since 2021.

The Marlins offense has been anemic over their last 7 while averaging a mere 2.7 runs per game.

Despite their poor season record, Washington has gone a more than respectable 6-3 in their last 9 games. After a terrible start to the season, Josiah Gray has figured it out in recent starts. Specifically speaking, Gray has a brilliant 1.24 ERA and 0.97 WHIP throughout his previous 5 starts. The Washington bullpen has struggled on the road this season. However, at home the Nationals relievers has a solid 3.24 ERA.

Washington is 7.0 games behind Miami in the NL East standings and have lost 8 of 9 versus the Marlins this year. Yet, they’re a money line favorite in this spot. The oddsmakers will never be mistaken as being generous. They’re begging you to take the underdog. Well, I’m not taking the bait. Give me the Nationals on the money line for a 10* Top Play.

Game# 961-962

Play On: Yankees -117 (10*)

Chi Chi Gonzalez has made 3 starts this season with all coming since 6/3 and posted a terrible 7.36 ERA during those outings.

Jose Berrios has struggled on the road this season with a 6.70 ERA and 1.51 WHIP. During his last 2 starts, Berrios has surrendered 5 home runs in just 11.0 innings pitched.

Game# 923-924

Play On: Nationals +122 (5*)

Matt Bush has made 3 starts this season for Texas and went 1.0 inning on each occasion. Barring something unforeseen, the Rangers will ask their pitching staff to make a substantial contribution by committee today. Since the start of last season, Texas has gone a terrible 14-24 as a money line favorite of -110 or greater.

Josiah Gray has been exceptional in his last 4 starts for Washington while posting a 0.82 ERA. Gray has also gone 5-1 this season in his road team starts with a sparkling 1.89 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.

There’s an interesting dichotomy in this matchup which can’t be ignored. Texas has allowed 2 runs or less in each of their previous 3 games. Conversely, Washington has scored 3 runs or less in each of their last 3 games. Texas is 4-15 at home since the start of last season following 3 consecutive games in which they allowed 4 runs or less. Washington is 5-0 on the road this season following 3 consecutive games in which they scored 4 runs or fewer and outscored their opponents by a massive 5.6 runs per game. Give me the Nationals on the money line.

Blue Jays (Manoah) @ Brewers (Houser) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 977-978

Play On: Under 8.5 (10*)

Alek Manoah has pitched 10-3 to the under in his 13 starts this season with an impressive 2.00 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. The Toronto bullpen has been much better on the road than at home. Manoah has also pitched 8-0 to the under in his career which began last season when facing teams with a winning record and there was a mere combined average of 5.4 runs scored per game.  The Blue Jays relievers have a combined 3.37 ERA and 1.22 WHIP during away games.

Adrian Houser has been solid in 6 home starts this year with a 2.94 ERA. The Brewers bullpen has been lights out over their previous 10 games. Give me this game to go under the total for a Top Play.

Phillies (Suarez) @ Padres (Musgrove) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 911-912

Play On: Padres -1.5 (+145) (5*)

The Phillies lefthander Ranger Suarez has recorded a lofty 5.29 ERA over his last 3 road starts. The Phillies bullpen continues to be erratic this season which has been the norm for a few years now. Philadelphia has a terrible .200 team batting average and .287 OBP throughout their previous 7 games. That certainly doesn’t bode well when having to face a top starting pitcher like Joe Musgrove.

Speaking of Musgrove, he is 11-1 in his team starts this season with a sparkling 1.59 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Furthermore, all 12 of his outings fall under the category of a quality start 96.0 or more innings pitched and 3 or few earned runs allowed). The Padres have won 9 of Musgrove’s 12 starts by 2 runs or more. San Diego is also 17-7 versus lefthanded starting pitchers this season. Give me the Padres on the run line.

Orioles (Kremer) @ White Sox (Cueto) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

Dean Kremer has made 3 starts this season and all have come since 6/5. Kremer compiled a solid 2.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP during those outings. The Orioles bullpen has been lights out over its last 7 games while posting a 1.44 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. Baltimore has allowed 3 runs or fewer in 5 of its previous 6 games.

Johnny Cueto has exhibited outstanding form over his last 3 starts with a 2.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio, and averaged 6.3 innings pitched per outing. Cueto has pitched 13-3 to the under since the start of last season whenever the total was 8.5-10.0. Cueto has pitched 6.0 innings or more in each of his previous 6 starts which does a lot to cover up for a suspect White Sox bullpen. Give me this game to go under the total.

Astros (Valdez) @ Yankees (Taillon) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Framber Valdez has pitched 5-1-1 to the under this season with a brilliant 1.61 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. The Houston bullpen has a terrific 1.07 ERA and 0.83 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games. Houston has seen just 31.9% of their 69 games go over the total this season.

Jameson Taillon hasn’t been close to top form over his last 3 starts. However, his entire body of work this season shows he has a superb 2.70 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. The Yankees bullpen has a very good 1.06 WHIP during its last 7 games and has been top notch for a better part of this season. Give me this game to go under the total.

Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Brewers (Lauer) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Brewers -108 (5*)

Adam Wainwright is 0-2 in his team starts versus Milwaukee this season with a sizable 6.75 ERA and 2.25 WHIP. Eric Lauer has struggled on the road this season but has been brilliant in 4 home starts with a 1.04 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and averaged 6.5 innings pitched per outing. The Brewers bullpen has been lights out of late with an excellent staff 1.19 ERA throughout their previous 7 games. Milwaukee is a profitable 28-18 when facing righthanded starting pitchers this season and smacked 66 home runs in those games. Give me the Brewers on the money line.

Guardians (McKenzie) @ Twins (Gray) 7:40 PM ET

Game# 969-970

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Triston McKenzie has quietly put together a good year thus far with a shiny 2.82 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 11 starts. McKenzie has pitched 3-0 to the under during his last 3 starts versus Minnesota with a 2.37 ERA and 0.68 WHIP. The Cleveland bullpen has an impressive 2.02 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over its last 7 games. Cleveland is coming off yesterday’s 6-5 win at Minnesota. Since the start of last season, , the Guardians have played 10-1 to the under on the road following a 1-run win in their previous game.

Sonny Gray has exhibited excellent form over his last 3 starts with a 0.50 ERA and 0.56 WHIP. Gray has also been terrific in his 4 starts at Target Field this season with a 1.73 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. The Twins bullpen has a solid 3.12 ERA and 1.08 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games.

Dodgers (Anderson) @ Reds (Castillo) 6:40 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

The Reds Luis Castillo has displayed good form over his last 4 starts with a 2.48 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Castillo went 6.0 or more innings in each of those starts which is noteworthy when considering the Reds bullpen issues. Castillo has a stellar 1.90 ERA in 4 career starts versus the Dodgers. As a matter of fact, 2 of those starts versus the Dodgers came at home and Castillo posted an even better 0.73 ERA in 12 1/3 innings pitched. Since the start of last season, Castillo has pitched 12-1 to the under at home whenever the total was 8.5 to 10.0.

Tyler Anderson has gone 6-0 in his last 6 team starts with a brilliant 1.64 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and averaged 6.4 innings pitched per outing. Anderson will be supported by a Dodgers bullpen that has compiled a terrific 1.27 ERA as a staff over their previous 7 games. The Dodgers have witnessed only 4 of their last 16 games (25%) going over the total. The Dodgers have played 20-10 to the under this season as a money line road favorite of -110 or greater. Los Angeles has also played 65-39 to the under since last season whenever the total was 8.5 to 10.0. Give me this game to go under the total.

Blue Jays (Gausman) @ White Sox (Cease) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Over 9.0 (10*)

Toronto has played 7-1 to the over in their last 8 and there was a combined average of 13.0 runs scored per game. The White Sox have played 8-2-1 to the over during its previous 11. Throughout that stretch, Chicago averaged 7.3 runs scored and 11.1 hits per game. These teams are meeting for the 5th time this season and each of the previous 4 went over with a combined 11.7 runs scored per game.

The performance line of Dylan Cease indicates that he has a 0.00 ERA over his last 3 starts. However, during those outings he walked 11 and allowed 14 hits in 14 1/3 innings pitched which equates to a sizable 1.74 WHIP. My point is that Cease has been extremely lucky and encountered several high-pressure innings in which he was fortunate to escape unharmed. During 4 starts at night this season, Cease has posted a lofty 7.13 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. The White Sox bullpen has a terrible 5.49 ERA and 1.60 WHIP at home this season.

After a terrific start to the season, Kevin Gausman has hit the proverbial wall of late. Gausman is 0-3 in his last 3 starts with a poor 6.75 ERA and atrocious 2.25 WHIP. The Blue Jays bullpen has a concerning 7.16 ERA and allowed 9 home runs in 32 1/3 innings pitched during its last 7 games. Give me this game to go over the total for a Top Play.

Phillies (Gibson) @ Rangers (Perez) 8:05 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Rangers -110 (5*)

The Phillies Kyle Gibson has displayed shaky form over his last 5 starts with a 5.70 ERA and 1.69 WHIP while averaging only 4.7 innings pitched per outing. The Phillies bullpen has an uninspiring 4.84 ERA and 1.66 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games.

Martin Perez has been a sparkling light for Texas this season while going 9-4 in his team starts with a superb 2.10 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Perez has produced 10 quality starts over his last 11 appearances. The Rangers bullpen has a stellar 1.09 WHIP during their last 7 games. Texas is currently on a 2-game losing streak. The Rangers are 4-0 in their last 4 following a 2-game losing streak. Additionally, the Rangers have left 5 and 2 men on base in each of those last 2 games. Texas is an extremely profitable 12-1 this season following 2 consecutive games in which they left 5 or fewer men on base. Give me the Rangers on the money line.

Diamondbacks (Davies) @ Padres (Darvish) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Zach Davies has displayed dominant form over his last 3 starts with a 1.31 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 20:3 strikeout to walk ration throughout his previous 3 starts while averaging 6.9 innings pitcher per outing. The Arizona bullpen has an outstanding staff 2.22 ERA over its last 7 games. The Diamondbacks have played 13-5 to the under this season versus fellow NL West teams.

You Darvish has been spectacular at home this season while recording a 1.35 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, and averaged 6.7 innings pitcher per start at home in 2022. All 5 of Darvish’s 5 home starts have gone under the total. San Diego has played 19-10-1 to the under at home in 2022. Give me this game to go under the total.

Giants (Webb) @ Braves (Fried) 7:20 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Giants +135 (5*)

Atlanta is 16-7 versus lefthanded starters this year but just 22-22 versus righthanders like they'll be facing today.

The Giants are coming off a 4-3 loss at Pittsburgh on Sunday. However, San Francisco is a perfect 5-0 in their last 5 following a loss. Logan Webb is 9-4 in his team starts this season with a more than respectable 3.43 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. Webb will be facing a Braves team that averages 6.5 men left on base per game in 2022. The Giants hurler has gone a remarkable 19-1 in his team starts since last season when facing teams that average 6.9 or fewer men left on base per game. The Giants bullpen has an excellent 1.99 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and converted on all 4 of its save opportunities throughout their previous 7 games. Furthermore, the Giants are 13-6 when facing lefthanded starting pitchers this season and they’ve also gone 10-1 in road games on Monday since 2021. Give me the Giants as a money line underdog.

Giants (Webb) @ Braves (Fried) 7:20 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

San Francisco has gone over the total in just 1 of its last 13 games. Brandon Webb has a solid 3.12 ERA and 1.02 WHIP throughout his previous 7 starts. Webb is 3-0 in his career team starts versus Atlanta with a brilliant 1.35 ERA and 0.80 WHIP. The Giants bullpen has an excellent 1.99 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and has gone 4-4 on save opportunities during its last 7 games.

The Braves Max Fried has displayed good form over his previous 4 starts with a 2.10 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. Fried is 4-0 in his career team starts versus the Giants with a shiny 1.85 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. The Braves bullpen has a sparkling staff 1.35 ERA and 1.00 WHIP during its last 7 games. Give me this game to go under the total.

Yankees (Cole) @ Rays (McClanahan) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Under 6.5

I’m not going to let this low total scare me away.  The Yankees are coming off a 10-9 loss at Toronto on Sunday which marked one of the rare instances this season that their bullpen let them down. Nonetheless, New York has played 8-1-1 to the under in their last 10 following a game which went over the total. Gerrit Cole has seen both starts versus Tampa Bay go under the total and his 0.75 ERA during those outing was a major contributing factor to those low scoring games. Cole had that one hiccup at Minnesota 2 starts ago. Regardless of that poor performance, Cole has a solid 3.38 ERA and 1.08 WHIP throughout his previous 4 starts.

The Rays Shane McClanahan is an early contender for the American League Cy Young Award. McClanahan has a terrific 0.98 ERA with a dominating 58:6 strikeout to walk ratio in this last 7 starts. McClanahan has pitched an impressive 17-3 to the under in 20 starts versus winning teams since the start of last season. Tampa Bay has played 16-6 to the under in division games this season which includes 5-2 under versus the Yankees. Give me this game to go under the total.

Braves (Anderson) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 2:20 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Braves -1.5 (+105)

The Braves had their 14-game win streak snapped after Friday’s 1-0 loss at Wrigley Field. Ian Anderson performance lines have regressed from a season ago. Nonetheless, he pitched 7.0 scoreless innings while allowing just 1 hit during his lone start against the Cubs last season. The Braves bullpen has an excellent 1.64 ERA and 0.86 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games. During that identical 7-game span, Braves batters hit an eye-popping 21 home runs.

The Cubs are 1-10 in their last 11 heading into the weekend’s MLB action and were outscored by an enormous average of 5.4 runs per game. Kyle Hendricks has displayed poor form over his last 5 starts while recording a 6.18 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. The Cubs bullpen has an atrocious 13.65 ERA, 2.43 WHIP, and surrendered 10 homers in 29 1/3 innings throughout its last 7 games. The Cubbies also have been anemic offensively of late which is evidenced by them averaging a mere 2.9 runs scored per game in their last 7. Give me the Braves on the run line.

Brewers (Houser) @ Reds (Minor) 1:40 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Over 9.5 (5*)

Mike Minor has made 3 starts this season and all recently. During those outings, Minor had an awful 7.37 ERA while allowing 6 home runs in 14 2/3 innings pitched. Minor will be facing a Brewers team on Sunday who is among the National League leaders in home runs while having hit 1.27 taters per game. The Reds bullpen has a lofty 5.64 ERA and 1.51 WHIP at home this season. The Reds have averaged 5.9 runs scored and 1.25 home runs per game at home in 2022.

Adrian Houser got off to an impressive start to the season. However, he’s regressed dramatically of late while posting a 6.86 ERA and 2.03 WHIP. Based on his WHIP, he’s lucky his ERA wasn’t much higher than 6.86.

The Reds have played 15-5 to the over during day games this season. Since the start of last season, Cincinnati has played 32-18 (64%) to the over during division games. Milwaukee has witnessed just 32% of their 25 day game going over the total this year. These teams have met 7 times in 2002 which produced 6 overs and 1 push on totals betting. Give me this game to go over the total.

Marlins (Alcantara) @ Mets (Bassitt) 1:40 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

The Marlins Sandy Alcantara is a hidden gem due to the franchise he belongs to. Alcantara has gone 6-1 in his last 7 team starts with a superb 0.81 ERA and averaged 7.9 innings pitched per outing. Additionally, since the start of last season, Alcantara has pitched 15-1 to the under in starts versus division opponents.

The Mets were extremely encouraged with Chris Bassitt during his previous start which was a scoreless 8.0 inning and 3-hit masterpiece. He’s now allowed only 1 earned run in 14.0 pitched in his last 2 starts at home.

This has all the making of an old-fashioned starting pitcher’s duel. Give me this game to go under the total.
