Well, that’s carried over to his first 2 regular season starts in which he had an 11.82 ERA, 2.63 WHIP and gave up 3 home runs while lasting just a combined 5 1/3 innings. Berrios has made 3 career starts at Fenway Park with a dismal 7.31 ERA and 2.06 WHIP. Based on his WHIP in those 3 starts in Boston he’s extremely lucky to have just a 7.31 ERA. Give me this game to go over the total.

Michael Lorenzen has made 26 career MLB starts with a lofty 4.95 ERA and 1.61 WHIP. Included in those 26 starts was 3 versus Miami in which he recorded an alarmingly high 1.71 WHIP. The Angels bullpen was terrible in their opening series which is evidenced by a staff 7.64 ERA in addition to surrendering 6 home runs in 17 2/3 innings pitched.

Although I’m not crazy about the Marlins starting pitcher Hernandez, he was sharp in 2 spring training appearances. The Marlins lost 2 of 3 to San Francisco in the opening series, and both defeats were 1-run losses. The Miami bullpen was outstanding in those 3 games with a 2.31 ERA and 0.69 WHIP. Give me the Marlins on the money line.

Houck has made 3 career starts versus the Yankees and allowed 0 home runs in 14 2/3 innings pitched. Houck also recorded a brilliant 1.23 ERA and 0.89 WHIP during those appearances. Like the Yankees, Boston’s bullpen has been terrific in the first 2 games of this series while allowing just 1 earned run in 7 1/3 innings pitched. Give me this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

Padres (Snell) @ Diamondbacks (Smith) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 913-914

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

Arizona has only managed to score 6 runs on 10 hits in the first 3 games of this series. Things don’t figure to get much easier against San Diego southpaw Blake Snell this afternoon. Snell made 4 starts for San Diego versus Arizona last season and had an exceptional 0.76 ERA in those outings. Furthermore, he recorded 37 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings during those starts. Since the start of last season, Arizona has gone an abysmal 12-37 versus left-handed starting pitchers. Arizona starting pitched Caleb Smith made 2 starts against San Diego last season and was awful while posting a massive 16.62 ERA. Give me the Padres on the run-line.

Pirates (Wilson) @ Cardinals (Matz) 2:15 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Over 8.5 (5*)

The Cardinals have scored 15 runs, pounded out 18 hits, and smacked 4 home runs in the first 2 games of this series. On Sunday they’ll face Pirates starting pitcher Bryce Wilson who has 1 career starts versus the Cardinals which took place last season, and he allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits in just 4.0 innings pitched.

Pittsburgh has scored just 2 runs in the first 2 games of this series. However, they showed some encouraging signs offensively in yesterday’s 6-2 loss by amassing 9 hits but left 11 men on base. The Pirates will be aided by wins that will be blowing out to right-centerfield today at 10-11 MPH. Give me this game to go over the total.

The Dodgers bullpen was stellar during last night’s 5-3 win over Colorado while allowing only 1 earned run in 4.0 innings of works and recording 7 strikeouts versus 1 walk.

Counting last night’s result, since the start of last season, Colorado has played 39-18 to the under at home whenever there was a total of 11.0 or greater. German Marquez has made 5 starts versus the Dodgers since the start of the 2019 season and copiled an excellent 1.55 ERA during those appearances. The Rockies bullpen was exceptional last night while allowing 0 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings. Give me this game to go under the total.

Despite losing their season opener on Thursday to the Cubs, Milwaukee has gone 28-11 in division road games since the start of last season and is 12-6 at Wrigley Field since 2019. Give me the Brewers on the run-line.

Red Sox (Eovaldi) @ Yankees (Cole) 1:05 PM ET

Game# 931-932

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Yankees starter Gerrit Cole didn’t have good numbers against Boston last year but that was because of poor showings at Fenway Park. Cole has made 2 career starts versus Boston at Yankee Stadium and only allowed 2 earned runs in 13.0 pitched while striking out 19 and walking just 2. As a matter of fact, in 21 career starts at Yankee Stadium, Cole posted a sparkling 2.86 ERA and 1.07 WHIP while striking out 162 in 125 2/3 inning pitched. Cole has also compiled a brilliant 2.63 ERA and 1.00 WHIP during 38 career starts in April.

Nathan Eovaldi made 3 starts at Yankee Stadium last season with a 2.25 ERA and all those outings stayed under the total. Eovaldi was extremely sharp in spring training games while recording an excellent 0.71 WHIP in 12 2/3 innings of work. Give me this game to go under the total.

San Diego (Darvish) @ Arizona (Bumgarner) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 977-978

Play On: Over 8.5 (5*)

Yu Darvish made 5 starts versus Arizona last season and posted a sizable 6.65 ERA.

Additionally, in the last 4 of those starts, Bumgarner surrendered an alarmingly high 8 home runs in 19 2/3 innings pitched. Give me this game to go over the total.

Pirates (Brubaker) @ Cardinals (Wainwright) 4:15 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: Cardinals -1.5 (+115) (10*)

Adam Wainwright has gone 7-0 in his last 7 starts versus Pittsburgh with a dominating 0.73 ERA while doing so. J.T. Brubaker is coming off a season which saw him go an abysmal 1-15 in his team starts on the road. The Pirates as a team were an awful 24-57 in away games last season. Brubaker was 0-4 versus St. Louis last year with a lofty 6.65 ERA. The Pirates right-hander also allowed an alarmingly high 6 home runs in 21 2/3 innings pitched in those 4 outings. Today’s weather forecast is call for winds of 18 MPH blowing out to right-centerfield which will leave Brubaker even more vulnerable. Give me the Cardinals on the run-line for a Top Play wager.

Astros (Garcia) @ Braves (Fried) 8:09 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Braves +12 (10*)

The Atlanta Braves are coming off Sunday’s 9-5 loss which prevented them from a World Series title. However, and on a positive note, Atlanta has gone 7-0 in their last 7 following a loss and hasn’t been on a 2-game losing streak since 9/18. The starting pitchers in Game 6 have both encountered issues during postseason action. Nevertheless, I trust Atlanta’s Max Fried more than Luis Garcia of Houston. The current total on this game is 8.5 and that’s significant. Since the start of last season, Max Fried has gone 19-3 in his team starts when the total was 8.0 or 8.5. That totals parameter indicated Fried has fared very well when not facing another team’s ace. Bet the Braves for a money line underdog Top Play wager.

Houston (Garcia) @ Atlanta (Anderson) 8:09 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Atlanta -105 (10*)

Despite a strong showing in his last outing, Luis Garcia has an awful 9.64 ERA and 1.61 WHIP this postseason in 3 starts. Although the Astros have enjoyed a plethora of success in recent season, they haven’t done well within this money line parameter in away game. Since 2019, Houston is a poor 30-47 on the road when their money line is +125 to -125, and $100 bettors who back them in those situations are down $1880.

Atlanta is coming off a Game 2 loss on Wednesday. However, the Braves have gone an unbeaten 6-0 in their last 6 following a loss and won by an average of 3.3 runs per game. Atlanta pitcher Ian Anderson has gone 5-0 in his last 5 team starts with an excellent 2.16 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. Atlanta has gone 7-0 in their last 7 at home when Ian Anderson is their starting pitcher. The Braves bullpen has a more than respectable 3.42 ERA during postseason action. Bet Atlanta for a Top Play wager.

Atlanta (Fried) @ Houston (Urquidy) 8:09 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Atlanta +112 (5*)

The Astros Jose Urquidy will be making just his 3rd start in the last 30 days. His last outing was certainly a forgetful one at Boston during the ALCS when he allowed 5 earned runs in only 1 2/3 innings pitched.

Max Fried is coming off a bad outing at Dodgers Stadium during the NLCS. However, that broke a streak of 14 consecutive quality starts for the Braves lefthander in which Atlanta went 12-2. As a matter of fact, if you eliminate his 2 starts at Dodger Stadium, Fried has gone 5-0 in his previous 5 on the road with a microscopic 0.24 ERA, and 2 of those appearances resulted in complete game shutouts. Atlant is averaging 10 hits per game in their last 6 and includes 12 in last night’s win. Bet Atlanta for a 5* money line wager.

Braves (Morton) @ Astros (Valdez) 8:09 PM ET

Game# 951-952

Play On: Over 8.0 (10*)

Lefthander Framber Valdez has seen each one of his 3 postseason starts in 2021 go over the total. Valdez posted an uninspiring 1.40 WHIP during those outings. Furthermore, Valdez has pitched 9-1 to the over this season whenever there was a total of 7.0 to 8.5 and there was a combined average of 11.8 runs scored per game. Houston has played 8-2 to the over during postseason action while averaging an impressive 6.7 runs scored per game and compiled an excellent .342 team on-base-percentage.

Atlanta has averaged a sizable 5.6 runs scored per game and belted 69 home runs in 45 games when facing lefthanded starting pitchers in 2021. Atlanta has played 4-1 to the over in their previous 5 and there was a combined average of 10.0 runs scored per game. Bet on this game to go over the total for a Top Play wager.

Braves (Fried) @ Dodgers (Undecided) 8:08 ET

Game# 811-812

Play On: Braves +130 (5*)

The Dodgers have yet to name a starting pitcher in this matchup as of 1:45 PM ET. My educated guess is they’re going to do this by bullpen committee or ask one of their starting pitchers to go on short rest. Either was it’s not an ideal situation for the defending world champions. Especially considering they’ll be facing the Braves ace Max Fried. The Atlanta lefthander has been good all season long. However, over his last 5 starts he’s been overpoweringly dominant while posting an 0.77 ERA and averaged 7.0 innings pitched per outing. Fried has made 3 starts versus the Dodgers this season and compiled a brilliant 2.50 ERA. With an exception of Game 2 in this series, the Braves bullpen has been superb during postseason action. Atlanta has pounded out 10 hits or more in each of the previous 3 games. Bet the Braves as a money line underdog.

Astros (Valdez) @ Red Sox (Sale) 5:08 PM ET

Game# 915-916

Play On: Boston -120 (5*)

Neither one of these starting pitchers have been sharp in recent starts. As a matter of fact, they’ve both been horrible during those outings. However, on occasion I lean on my professional intuition, and that leads me to believe that highly paid Chris Sales is going to pitch a gen tonight. You can make the case that Boston will be the more desperate team tonight since they don’t want to return to Houston down 3-2.

Yesterday’s 9-2 final score in favor of Houston is a bit deceiving since The Red Sox led 2-1 entering the 8th inning. It was one of the rare occasions over the past 2 weeks in which the Red Sox bullpen let them down. Speaking of bullpen, Houston relief pitchers combined to pitch 7 2/3 innings yesterday after starter Zack Grienke was only able to record 4 outs. Finally, Boston has won 4 consecutive games immediately following a loss. Be the Red Sox for a money line wager.

Braves (Morton) @ Dodgers (Buehler) 5:08 PM ET

Game# 913-914

Play On: Under 7.5 (10*)

Charlie Morton has made 2 starts versus the Dodgers this season and posted a superb 2.45 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in those outings. This current Dodgers active roster has uninspiring career number of 33-153 (.216) when facing Charlie Morton. Morton has pitched 11-5-1 to the under in his road starts this season and with a stellar 2.96 ERA. The Atlanta bullpen has been outstanding throughout their previous 7 games while compiling a 1.20 ERA as a staff.  Atlanta has seen all 3 of their games at Dodger Stadium this season all go under the total.

Walker Buehler has been brilliant in 20 home starts this season with a 2.05 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Since the start of last season, Buehler has pitched 3-0 to the under in his starts versus Atlanta with a brilliant 1.50 ERA. The Dodger bullpen has been solid over their past 7 games while recording a staff 2.53 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Dodgers (Urias) @ Giants (Webb) 9:07 PM ET

Game# 971-972

Play On: Giants -104 (10*)

This has been a zig-zag series in which each team has alternated wins. I look for that trend to continue in Thursday’s Game 5 with all being considered.. The Giants Logan Webb has pitched brilliantly at home this season. Webb has gone 13-0 in his home team starts while compiling a terrific 1.83 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in doing so. Webb has made 4 starts versus the Dodgers in 2012 and collected an impressive 1.52 ERA which includes 7 2/3 of scoreless innings pitched in Game 1 of this NLDS.

The Giants went over the total in Tuesday’s 7-2 loss. Why is that significant? Well, I am glad you asked. San Francisco is 5-0 in their last 5 following an under during its previous game and allowed just a combined 2 runs. As a matter of fact, the last 4 times this situation has arisen the Giants have held opposing teams scoreless. Additionally, Webb is 11-1 in his teams starts this season after allowing 1 earned run or less in his previous start, and the Giants outscored those opponents by an average of 3.8 runs per game. Webb has allowed an average of just 0.33 home runs per start this season. Conversely, the Dodgers are a dismal 9-17 in 2021 when facing starting pitchers who allow 0.50 or fewer home runs per start. Bet the Giants for a Top Play money line wager.

Giants (Wood) @ Dodgers (Scherzer) 9:37 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

Alex Wood has been victimized by the long ball in his 3 starts versus the Dodgers this season. However, the weather forecast for Los Angeles this evening is extremely rare with predicted winds of 16-18 MPB blowing in from left centerfield. Otherwise, Wood compiled a respectable 1.35 WHIP over those 3 starts versus Los Angeles. The Giants lefthander has displayed good form throughout his previous 5 starts overall while posting a 2.95 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and registering 31 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings pitched. Furthermore, all 5 of those recent starts by Wood stayed under the total with opponents averaging a mere 1.6 runs scored per game.

Max Scherzer has gone an incredible 14-0 in his last 14 team starts this year with a superb 2.21 ERA. Scherzer has been brilliant throughout his illustrious career at postseason time. Yesterday was a travel day in this series. The Dodgers have played 16-7 to the under this season following an off day and their high-powered offense averaged only 3.8 runs scored per game in those outings. Bet this game to go under the total.

Braves (Fried) @ Brewers (Woodruff) 5:07 PM ET

Game# 925-926

Play On: Braves +110 (5*)

Atlanta is coming off a 2-1 series opening loss to Milwaukee and Corbin Burnes on Friday. They’ll have another tough challenge today when facing Brewers righthanded starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff. However, the Braves will counter with their red-hot southpaw starting pitcher Max Fried. All Fried has done recently is string together 12 quality starts in a row and compile an excellent 1.56 ERA throughout that stretch. The Atlanta bullpen has performed brilliantly down the final stretch of the regular season and recorded 2.0 scoreless innings yesterday. Milwaukee has gone a terrific 76-48 this season when facing righthanded starting pitchers but an uninspiring 20-19 versus southpaws. Bet the Braves for a money line wager.

Dodgers (Buehler) @ Giants (Webb) 9:37 PM ET

Game# 921-922

Play On: Giants +109 (5*)

The Dodgers Walker Buehler’s last start versus San Francisco came on 9/5 when he allowed 6 earned runs in just 3.0 innings pitched. The Dodgers have won 107 games this season. However, they’re a dismal 5-12 in 2021 when their money line parameter was +125 to -125.

San Francisco has gone a perfect 12-0 this season when Logan Webb was their starting pitcher. During those 12 starts Webb compiled an excellent 1.99 ERA and 0.97 WHIP while averaging 6.0 innings pitched per appearance. Webb has also gone 3-0 in his team starts versus the Dodgers this season with a sparkling 2.25 ERA and 0.69 WHIP. The Giants bullpen has been sharp throughout their previous 7 games while posting a staff 1.95 ERA. The Giants are 54-27 (.667) at home and 79-35 (.693) when facing righthanded starting pitchers this season. Bet the Giants for a money line wager.

White Sox (Giolito) @ Astros (Valdez) 2:07 PM ET

Game# 915-916

Play On: White Sox +113 (5*)

Houston has gone a terrific 70-41 in night games this season but just 26-26 during the day. Framber Valdez compiled a lofty 7.20 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and allowed 4 home runs in just 10.0 innings pitched during his last 2 starts at home.

Throughout his still young career, Lucas Giolito has pitched far more effective on the road than at home. The current posted total on Friday’s Game 2 of this ALDS is 8.5. Giolito has gone 15-4 in his road team starts since the start of last season whenever there was a total of 8.0 or 8.5. Giolito also has been an extremely profitable 19-13 in his career team starts as a money line road underdog of +100 or greater and bettors who risked $100 made a profit of $1540 in those 32 outings. Giolito has seen his last 2 starts versus Houston result in complete game wins. During Giolito’s last 3 regular season starts he recorded an excellent 1.10 ERA. Bet on the White Sox for a money line wager.

Lance McCullers Jr. has been in superb form over his last 6 starts while compiling a 2.57 ERA.  During that stretch he’s allowed only 2 home runs in 35.0 innings pitched. McCullers is 2-0 versus the White Sox this season with a dominating 2.08 ERA and 0.77 WHIP. The Astros finished regular season action with 6 consecutive home games. Houston is an extremely profitable 24-6 this season immediately following 5 straight at home. Bet the Astros for a Top Play wager.

Yankees (Cole) @ Red Sox (Eovaldi) 8:08 PM ET

Game# 937-938

Play On: Yankees -120 (5*)

The first question is would you rather have pitching in a big game Gerrit Cole or Nathan Eovaldi. My personal choice in unequivocally Gerrit Cole. The Yankees have been the better team the last 3 months compared to Boston. The Red Sox won the first 6 games of this head-to-head series this season. However, the Yankees won the last 6 and that includes a 3-game sweep at Fenway Park in late September. As a matter of fact, Eovaldi started the first game of that series and allowed 7 earned runs in just 2 2/3 innings pitched. It’s worth noting, the Yankees were just 23-34 (.403) in day games this season, but an extremely profitable 69-36 (.657) at night. Lastly, the Yankees have gone an excellent 10-2 on the road this season following an off day. Bet on the Yankees for a money line wager.

The Brewers are averaging just 3.3 runs scored per game while going 20-17 versus lefthanded starting pitchers in 2021.

Clayton Kershaw has been solid since returning from the disabled list while posting a 3.29 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 3 starts. The Dodgers bullpen has recorded an outstanding 2.36 ERA and 1.05 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games. Bet this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

Detroit is hitting .285 as a team over their previous 7 games. However, during that span, they hit just 1 home run and averaged a paltry 3.3 runs per game. Detroit has played 9-1 to the under in their last 10. Taylor Skubal has made 3 career starts at Target Field in Minnesota and compiled a stellar 3.45 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. None of those 3 starts went over the total. The current Twins roster is a poor 13-69 (.206 BA) lifetime when facing Skubal. Bet this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Dan Plesac has gone 8-0 in his career team starts versus Kansas City with a brilliant 2.18 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. The Cleveland bullpen has a superb 1.59 ERA throughout its previous 7 games. Despite yesterday’s loss, Cleveland has still gone an extremely profitable 13-4 against Kansas City this season and that includes 7-1 on the road. Bet the Indians for a money line wager.

Game# 979-980

Play On: Under 7.5 (10*)

The Reds will be facing a tough lefthander tonight in Carolos Rodon. The White Sox southpaw hurler has pitched 15-7-1 to the under this season with an exceptional 2.47 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Bet this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

Game# 967-968

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Gerrit Cole has pitched 4-0 to the under this season versus Toronto with a sparkling 2.74 ERA. Cole has been outstanding in his previous 4 road starts while posting a 1.88 ERA and struck out 37 batters in 24.0 innings pitched. The current Blue Jays roster has gone just 33-156 (.212 BA) in their careers when facing Cole. The Yankees bullpen has been dominant throughout their last 7 games with a 0.87 ERA and 0.71 WHIP. The Yankees have played 44-26 (62.9%) to the under when facing fellow AL East teams.

Anderson has made 1 start in 2021 and another in 2020 versus Oakland with a dominating 0.71 ERA during 12 2/3 innings pitched. The Seattle bullpen has been lights out over their previous 7 games with a combined 2.70 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.

Seattle has a seemingly tough chore tonight when facing Oakland ace Chris Bassitt who has a sensational 1.04 WHIP during 26 starts this season. However, the Mariners have gone an outstanding 16-5 this season when facing American League starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.10 or lower. The Oakland bullpen has a lofty 5.79 ERA and allowed 7 home runs in 28.0 innings throughout their previous 7 games.

It’s also worth noting, the slated home plate umpire is Adam Liamari. Home teams have gone 21-7 (.750) this season and 46-25 (.648) since 2019 when Liamari is the home plate umpire. Bet the Mariners for a money line wager.

Game# 907-908

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

Atlanta’s Charlie Morton has exhibited good form over his last 5 starts while recording a 3.19 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Morton has made 4 solid starts against Philadelphia this season with a 3.06 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. The Atlanta bullpen has a 3.03 ERA over their previous 7 games. Bet this game to go under the total.

Astros (McCullers) @ Angels (Cobb) 9:36 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: Under 8.5 (10*)

Lance McCullers has displayed good form over his last 4 starts while compiling a 1.96 ERA in 23.0 innings pitched.

The Astros bullpen has been solid throughout its last 7 games while registering a staff 3.13 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. The Angels Alex Cobb has been brilliant over his last 5 starts while posting a miniscule 0.94 ERA.

This total jumped off the screen at me as being low and especially when considering these teams have played 30-14 to the over since 1999. However, those of you that know me well over the years know I more times than not go against public perception in these betting situations. The public has hammered the over thus far. Good for them, but I’m going under the total for a Top Play wager.

Mariners (Kikuchi) @ A’s (Bassitt) 3:37 PM ET

Game# 965-966

By virtue of yesterday’s win over Oakland, Seattle has now won the last 5 versus the A’s. The Mariners are also 7-1 at Oakland this season and includes winning 5 straight.

The A’s are averaging only a paltry 3.3 runs scored per game throughout their last 7 while hitting a horrible .203 as a team. Bet on the Mariners for a money line underdog wager.

Dodgers (Scherzer) @ Rockies (Freeland) 3:10 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 10.5 (5*)

Kyle Freeland has seen all 3 starts against the Dodgers this season stay under the total. His exceptional 2.84 ERA and 0.79 WHIP during those starts was a major contributor to those low scoring affairs. Colorado defeated the Dodgers yesterday 10-5. That game easily went over the total despite 6 of the 9 innings being scoreless. Nonetheless, Colorado has played 6-1 to the under in their last 7 following an over in their previous game.

Max Scherzer has been sensational over his previous 5 starts while pitching 36 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball. He also struck out 48 and walked only 3 during that red-hot stretch. As I alluded to yesterday’s game at Colorado between these teams went over the total. The Dodgers have played 10-1-1 to the under in their last 12 following an over in their previous game. Bet this game to go under the total.

Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Brewers (Houser) 2:10 PM ET

Game# 911-912

St. Louis has played 15-4 to the under since the start of last season following a game in which they scored 9 runs or more. Conversely, Milwaukee has played 11-3 to the under this season following a game in which they allowed 8 runs or more.

The Brewers Adrian Houser has made 2 starts versus St. Louis this season and pitched 14.0 innings of scoreless baseball. That includes a complete game shutout win on 9/4. The Brewers are hitting a horrible .178 as a team over their previous 7 games. Bet this game to go under the total.

Game# 907-908

Play On: Under 10.5 (10*)

Walker Buehler has made 2 starts versus Colorado this season and both came at Coors Field. During those 2 outings Buhler posted a stellar 2.77 ERA and 0.77 WHIP through 13.0 innings pitched. Buehler has recoded quality starts in 12 of his previous 13 outings. The Dodgers bullpen has a solid 3.28 ERA and 1.18 WHIP throughout its last 7 games.

German Marquez is one of the few Colorado starters in franchise history to master pitching at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Marquez is 13-3 in his home team starts in 2021 with a 3.16 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. The Colorado bullpen has struggled for the better part of this season but that’s not been the case recently. During their previous 7 games the Rockies relievers have a combined 2.15 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Colorado has seen just 2 of their last 11 games go over the total. Bet this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

Blue Jays (Ray) @ Rays (Baz) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 915-916

Play On: Blue Jays -128 (5*)

The Rays Shane Baz will be making his MLB debut versus Toronto. Baz has put up excellent numbers at AA and AAA ball this season while compiling a 2.06 ERA and 0.80 WHIP in 17 starts. However, he hasn’t faced anything close to a powerful batting order like Toronto in the minors, and he’s also has only averaged just 4.6 innings pitched per start in the minors this season. The Rays have held a comfortable lead in the AL East for about a month now and look to the regular season finish line. Tampa Bay has gone an uninspiring 4-7 in their last 11 games. The Rays are also averaging just a paltry 3 runs scored per game and have an anemic .192 team batting average throughout its previous 7 outings.

Toronto has gone a red-hot 18-4 in their last 22 games. The Blue Have scored 5 runs or more in 16 of their previous 20 games. That’s significant since the send their ace Robbie Ray to the mound today who has dominated Tampa Bay this season. During 5 starts versus Tampa Bay in 2021, Rays has a brilliant 1.85 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, struck out 49 while walking just 3, and averaged 6.8 innings pitched per start. The Blue Jays bullpen has recoded an excellent 0.87 WHIP over their last 7 games. Bet on the Blue Jays for a money line wager.

Braves (Anderson) @ Giants (Webb) 9:45 PM ET

Game# 963-964

Play On: Giants -1.5 (+128) (5*)

The sharps are betting the over in this game but that’s not the way I am going to go. However, what I took away from that betting pattern is they must think most of the offensive production is going to come from San Francisco based on this starting pitching matchup. After all, the Giants Logan Webb has gone a perfect 9-0 in his home team starts this season with an outstanding 1.69 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Webb has also gone 12-1 in his team starts this year as a money line favorite of -110 or greater and the Giants outscored the opposition by an average of 2.4 runs per game. By the way, speaking of the Giants expected to provide the bulk of scoring in this matchup, they have averaged a robust 7.4 runs scored per game while smacking 15 home runs throughout their previous 7 outings. The Giants bullpen has also performed extremely well during that 7-game span while collecting a staff 2.83 ERA.

The Giants will be facing right-handed starter Ian Anderson tonight. The Giants are a highly profitable 69-33 (.676) against right-handed starting pitchers this season. In further regards to Ian Anderson, he has an uninspiring 5.63 ERA and 2.06 WHIP over his last 4 starts. Quite frankly, Anderson is very fortunate to not have a much higher ERA through that period considering his massive WHIP. Bet on the Giants for a run-line wager.

Phillies (Wheeler) @ Mets (Walker) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

The Phillies Zack Wheeler has made 4 starts against the Mets this season with a terrific 2.15 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and averaged 7.3 innings pitched per appearance. Additionally, in his last 2 versus the Mets, Wheeler didn’t allow an earned run over 16.0 inning pitched.

The Mets Tijuan Walker has made 2 home starts versus Philadelphia this season and compiled an excellent 1.93 ERA. The Mets have played 13-4 to the under this season whenever there was a total of 7.0 or 7.5 and there was only a combined average of 5.4 runs scored per game. The Mets have hosted Philadelphia 7 times in 2021 and just 1 of those games went over the total. Bet on this game to go under the total.

Dodgers (Buehler) @ Reds (Castillo) 7:10 ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

The Reds Luis Castillo has been brilliant during his last 6 home starts while posting a 1.66 ERA and he averaged a lofty 6.3 innings pitched per start. As a matter of fact, Castillo has recorded a quality start in 10 of his last 11 outings. Castillo can take comfort in knowing that his bullpen has been lights out of late while registering a staff 2.18 ERA and 0.77 WHIP. Castillo will be facing a Dodgers team that has outscored their opponents this season by a sizable average of 1.7 runs per game.. Since 2019, Castillo has pitched 14-2 to the under when facing teams that average outscoring their opponents by 0.5 or more runs per game. The Reds bats have been silent of late which is evidenced by them averaging 2.7 runs scored per game in their last 7. Furthermore, Cincinnati had 7 hits or fewer in 8 of their previous 10 games.

The Dodgers starter Walker Buehler has been unequivocally one of the 5 best pitchers in baseball this season. Buehler has a terrific 2.32 ERA and 0.95 WHIP during 29 starts in 2021. The Dodgers bullpen has a sparkling 3.18 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over their previous 7 games. Bet on this game to go under the total.

Rockies (Senzatela) @ Braves (Ynoa) 7:20 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Under 9.0 (10*)

Antonio Senzatela has pitched 4-1 to the under in his last 5 starts with a 2.18 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and averaged 6.6 innings pitched per outing.

The Atlanta pitcher Ynoa has been sharp in 7 home starts this season while compiling a 2.45 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. The Braves have gone over the total in only 4 of their last 21 games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Rays (McHugh) @ Blue Jays (Manoah) 7:07 ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Blue Jays -122 (10*)

Colin McHugh has pitched very well for Tampa Bay this season. However, he hasn’t exceeded more than 3.0 innings pitched in any of his 31 appearance this season. That’s problematic when considering the Rays bullpen has a lofty 6.31 ERA and 1.63 Whip over their previous 7 games, and they’ll be facing a red-hot offensive team today. Additionally, the Rays are coming off yesterday’s 8-7 loss to Detroit. Tampa Bay is a dismal 7-13 (.350) this season following a 1-run loss, and an otherwise sensational 82-41 (.667) in the rest of its games.

Toronto has gone a sizzling hot 11-1 in their last 12. Furthermore, the Blue Jays have scored 8 runs or more in 7 of its last 11 and cracked 18 home runs over their previous 7 games. Alex Manoah has made 2 starts against Tampa Bay this year with a brilliant 1.69 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 19 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings pitched. Bet on the Blue Jays for a money line wager. Bet the Blue Jays for a Top Play money line wager.

Game# 911-912

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

The Dodgers Julio Urias has pitched 3-0 to the under in his last 3 starts with a brilliant 1.62 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. Urias can also rely on a red-hot bullpen staff which has recorded an excellent 1.06 ERA throughout its previous 7 games. The Dodgers have played 17-4-2 to the under in their last 23 games. Los Angeles also has a poor .202 team batting average over their previous 7 games.

The Padres Joe Musgrove has exhibited excellent form over his last 3 starts while posing a 1.33 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and averaged 6.8 innings pitched per outing. San Diego is coming off an 8-5 win over the Angels in their last game. The Padres have played 6-1-1 to the under in their previous following a game which went over the total. Bet on this game to go under the total.

Rays (McClanahan) @ Red Sox (Eovaldi) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 921-922

Play On: Red Sox -106 (10*)

The Red Sox have lost 4 straight games. However, they’ve gone a profitable 7-2 this season immediately following 4 straight losses and that includes 4-0 the last 4.

Game# 903-904

Rich Hill has displayed good form over his last 3 starts while recording a 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and all of those outings styed under the total. The Mets bullpen has been solid over their previous 7 games with a staff 3.42 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. New York has played 12-5-3 to the under during their previous 20 games.

Miami went over the total in their previous game. They have played 6-0 to the under during their last 6 immediately following a game that went over. Sandy Alcantara has exhibited excellent form over his last 5 starts while registering a 2.04 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and averaged a lofty 7.1 innings pitched per outing. Alcantara has pitched 10-2-1 to the under at home this season with a brilliant 2.34 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. The Marlins bullpen has been lights out over their previous 7 games with a staff 0.68 ERA. Bet on this game to go under the total.

Phillies (Nola) @ Brewers (Lauer) 7:40 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Phillies -102 (10*)

Eric Lauer has pitched well for Milwaukee this season. However, he has pitched 5.0 innings or less in 5 of his last 6 starts. That’s problematic when considering the Brewers bullpen has recorded a terrible 9.72 ERA, 2.00 WHIP, and allowed an alarmingly high 11 home runs over their previous 7 games. Milwaukee has gone a terrific 46-24 (.657) on the road this season, but just an ordinary 38-31 (.551) at home. The Brewers are coming off yesterday’s 12-0 blowout loss to Philadelphia. Milwaukee is a dismal 1-7 this season following a shutout loss.

Aaron Nola has been somewhat disappointing this season. Nevertheless, Nola has a brilliant 0.83 WHIP over his last 3 starts which certainly translates to good form.  The maligned Phillies bullpen has been excellent of late while registering a staff 2.03 ERA and 0.94 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games. The Phillies have won 8 of their last 10 and have also scored 7 or more runs in 8 of its last 11 games. Bet the Phillies for a Top Play money line wager.

Giants (Gausman) @ Rockies (Freeland) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 907-908

Kevin Gausman has posted an excellent 1.79 ERA and 0.99 WHIP during 15 road starts this season. Additionally, Gausman has a brilliant 1.73 ERA and 0.80 WHIP during 11 starts in day games. The Giants have played 20-10 (66.7%) to the under this season this season as a money line road favorite of -110 or greater. Gausman can also take comfort in knowing that his bullpen staff has posted a 1.79 ERA throughout their previous 7 games.

Kyle Freeland has pitched 9-1 to the under this season when facing a team with a winning record and there was just a combined average of 6.3 runs scored per game. Freeland is 4-0 in his last 4 team starts with a sparkling 2.70 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. The Rockies bullpen has recorded a respectable 3.45 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over their last 7 games.

Kevin Gausman has a superb 2.52 ERA in 27 starts this season. The Giants currently have a team batting average of .243 this season. Any National League team with a total of 10.0 or greater that has a team batting average of .245 or less, and they have a starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.00 or better, resulted in those games playing 44-12 (78.6%) to the under since 1997. Bet on this game to go under the total.

Mariners (Gonzalez) @ Arizona (Castellanos) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 929-930

Play On: Mariners -118 (10*)

The Diamondbacks will be facing lefty Marco Gonzalez today. Arizona is a dismal 10-28 versus lefty starting pitchers this season. Furthermore, Gonzalez has been brilliant over his last 6 starts while recording a 1.58 ERA and 0.80 in addition to averaging 6.7 innings pitched per appearance. Gonzalez will be facing an Arizona team which has an abysmal .207 teams batting average and hit just 4 home runs during their previous 7 games played. The Mariners are 8-2 in their last 4 road games and that includes 4-0 during its previous 4. Bet on the Mariners for a 10* Top Play wager.

Dodgers (Price) @ Giants (DeSclafani) 9:45 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Over 8.5 (10*)

David Price is no longer the dominant pitcher he was earlier in his career. This current Giants active roster has a combined career .296 batting average, .333 PBP, and .944 OPS when facing price. Furthermore, Price has pitched 19-7 to the over in his career starts on the road in September and there were a combined 11.6 runs scored per game.

Anthony DeSclafani has made 5 starts versus the Dodgers in 2021 while compiling a large 9.43 ERA and 2.05 WHIP.

During his last 5 starts overall, DeSclafani recorded a poor 7.16 ERA and 1.90 WHIP while averaging just 3.2 innings pitched per outing. Bet on this game to go over the total for a Top Play wager.

Indians (McKenzie) @ Royals (Minor) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 913-914

Play On: Indians -107 (10*)

Kansas City has gone a dismal 1-10 this season versus Cleveland and that includes 0-6 at home. The Royals will go with veteran lefty Mike Minor on the mound. Minor has made 2 starts against Cleveland this year and posted an awful 8.68 ERA during those outings.

The Indians have gone 8-3 during their previous 11 and that includes a current 3-game win streak. Throughout their previous 7 Cleveland has averaged 6.0 runs scored per game and smacked 16 home runs. That’s not good news for Kansas City backers when considering Mike Minor has allowed 8 home runs over his last 29 1/3 innings pitched. Triston McKenzie has made 2 starts against Kansas City in 2021 and pitched 12.0 innings of scoreless baseball. McKenzie has exhibited excellent form in his last 3 starts while compiling a brilliant 1.29 ERA and 0.43 WHIP. Bet on the Indians for a Top Play wager.

Braves (Fried) @ Dodgers (Scherzer) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Atlanta +1.5 (-115) (10*)

Max Scherzer has paid huge dividends for the Dodgers since coming over from Washington at the trade deadline. However, Scherzer has made 2 starts since last year versus Atlanta including 1 in 2021 and had a large 7.94 ERA while allowing 6 home runs during 11 1/3 innings pitched during those outings. Granted the Dodgers are currently red-hot, but it’s been much to do with their pitching as opposed to their perceived offensive prowess. As a matter of fact, the Dodgers have averaged 3.5 runs scored and 6.4 hits per game throughout their last 12 outings.

Max Fried is finally healthy and it shows. During his last 6 starts Fried has compiled an excellent 1.58 ERA and 0.85 WHIP while walking only 4 batters in 40.0 innings pitched. Since the start of last season, Fried has made 3 starts versus the Dodgers and posted a sparkling 2.41 ERA. Atlanta has gone an extremely profitable 41-15 (.732) in their last 56 games with Max Fried as their starting pitcher. Bet the Braves +1.5 on the run-line.

Cubs (Davies) @ Twins (Gant) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 929-930

Play On: Over 9.0 (5*)

The Twins were hoping that a change of scenery would be beneficial for John Gant when they traded for him at the deadline. However, that clearly hasn’t been the case. Gant has witnessed each of his previous 6 starts go over the total and his massive 10.97 ERA through that stretch was a major contributing factor for those high scoring games. The Twins bullpen like they have been for most of the season has been shaky of late which is evidenced by a poor staff WHIP of 1.54 in their last 7 games. Minnesota has scored 3 and 2 runs during its previous 2 games. The Twins have played 13-4 to the over this season after scoring 3 runs or fewer during each of its previous 2 games.

The Cubs have played 5-1-1 to the over in their last 7 and averaged 6.1 runs per game in addition to launching 13 home runs. Kyle Davies has been extremely shaky over hjs last 5 starts with a 7.94 ERA and allowed 11 home runs in only 22 2/3 innings of work. Bet on this game to go over the total.

Rockies (Gomber) @ Rangers (Lyles) 8:05 PM ET

Game# 925-926

Play On: Over 8.5 (5*)

After struggling offensively for most of this season, Texas bats have come alive over their past 7 games. During that time, the Rangers have a .307 team batting averaged and hit 12 home runs. On a negative note for Rangers fans is that Jordan Lyles will be their starting pitcher today. Lyles has been terrible over his last 5 starts while recording a 8.46 ERA and 1.88 WHIP. It’s no wonder why all 5 of those games went over the total.

Texas will be facing Colorado lefthander Austin Gomber who has shown bad form over his last 3 starts with a large 8.56 ERA and 1.98 WHIP. Furthermore, over those 3 appearances Gomber surrendered 5 home runs in 13 2/3 innings pitched. It also must be note, that 2 of those starts came on the road, so pitching at hitter-friendly Coors Field can’t be used as an excuse for his recent struggles. If anything, Gomber has been much better on the road than at home this season. Bet on this game to go over the total.

Orioles (Akin) @ Blue Jays (Ryu) 7:07 PM ET

Game# 913-914

Play On: Over 10.0 (5*)

The Orioles lefthander Keegan Akin is 0-7 in his road team starts this season with a 9.73 ERA and 2.16 WHIP. Akin had made 1 start versus Toronto this season and was shelled for 6 earned runs in only 4 1/3 innings pitched. He doesn’t figure to get much assistance from a Baltimore bullpen that has compiled an 8.36 ERA over its last 7 games. Baltimore has averaged a robust 6.9 runs scored per game and smacked 13 homers throughout their previous 7 outings. Baltimore is currently a money line road underdog of +259. The Orioles have played 15-6 to the over this season as a money line road underdog of +200 or greater.

Hyun-Jin Ryu has displayed terrible form in his last 4 starts while posting a sizable 7.84 ERA. Toronto has seen 7 of 10 against Baltimore go over the total this season, and the teams combined to hit 33 home runs. Bet on this game to go over the total.

Braves (Smyly) @ Dodgers (Urias) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Braves +1.5 (-108) (5*)

This current active roster of the Dodgers has gone a lackluster 14-60 (.233 BA) in their career at bats against Braves starter Drew Smyly. The usually powerful batting order of the Dodgers has struggled of late. Specifically speaking, they are averaging 3.3 runs scored per game and have a miserable .176 team batting average over the past 7 games. Southpaw Julio Urias has been solid all season for the Dodgers. Nevertheless, he will be facing an Atlanta team that has gone 22-14 versus lefthanded starter in 2021 while averaging 6.0 runs scored per game and smashing 56 home runs.

There is an ample amount of betting value on the Braves as a money line underdog in this matchup. However, since we are being offered such a cheap price to take them as a run-line underdog it’s worth going that route instead. The Braves enter today on a terrific 13-game road winning streak. The current total on this game is 9.0. Since the start of last season, Drew Smyly has gone a perfect 8-0 in his road team starts when there’s been a total of 8.5 to 10.0. That basically tells me that Smyly has fared very well on the road when not be opposed by an opponent’s ace. Bet the Braves on the run-line.

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

Game# 957-958

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

The Giants Johnny Cueto has pitched 7-3 to the under at home this season with a shiny 3.09 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. San Francisco has played 8-2-1 to the under during its previous 11 games.

The Brewers Corbin Burnes is coming off a subpar outing which given his consistency this season then expect a strong performance from him tonight. Burnes has an excellent 1.87 ERA and 0.86 WHIP during 10 road starts this season. Additionally, the Milwaukee bullpen has a brilliant 2.00 ERA and 0.85 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games. Milwaukee will be facing a Giants team that has averaged hitting an impressive 1.52 home runs per game in 2021. Nonetheless, since 2019, Milwaukee has played 45-19 (70.3%) to the under when facing team that average 1.50 or more home runs hit per game. Bet on this game to go under the total.

Padres (Paddack) @ Diamondbacks (Gilbert) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Diamondbacks +1.5 (+104) (5*)

Chris Paddack has struggled in 3 starts versus Arizona this season while recoding a large 7.71 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. The Padres bullpen has an uninspiring 5.60 ERA over their last 7 games while amassing an alarmingly high 35 1/3 innings pitched. The Padres bats have been silent during that identical 7-game stretch after having averaged a paltry 2.9 runs scored per outing and registering an abysmal .161 team batting average. It’s no wonder that San Diego is a terrible 3-13 during their previous 16 games.

The Arizona starter Tyler Gilbert has made 3 starts this season an accounted himself extremely well. Especially considering one of those outing was a n-hitter he tossed at San Diego. Since 2019, Arizona has gone a profitable 14-5 at home versus San Diego and that includes 4-2 this season. Arizona has gone 12-6 in their last 18 at home and that includes 6-1 if they were a money line underdog. Bet the Diamondbacks on the run-line.

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

Game# 909-910

Play On: Under 8.5 (10*)

Kevin Gausman has been impressive during 14 road starts this season while posting a 1.70 ERA and 0.99 WHIP. Gausman will be supported by a Giants bullpen that has a terrific staff 1.60 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over their previous 7 games. San Francisco has gone under in each of their last 4 and has a dismal .211 team batting average throughout its previous 7 games.

Max Fried is looking more and more like the dominant pitcher he was during his rookie campaign. Fried has a brilliant 1.06 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over his last 5 starts while averaging a sizable 6.8 innings pitched per outing. Atlanta has played 4-0-1 to the under in their last 4 and has a poor .226 team batting average during its previous 7 games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

Blue Jays (Matz) @ Tigers (Manning) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Blue Jays -1.5 (-113) (5*)

The Tigers Matt Manning has exhibited shaky form over his last 5 starts with a lofty 6.04 ERA and 1.66 WHIP. As a matter of fact, Manning has an uninspiring 5.90 ERA during 11 starts for the 2021 season. He will be facing a Toronto team that since 2019 has gone an extremely profitable 13-1 on the road when facing starting pitchers with an ERA of 5.90 or worse, and has a decisive run per game differential of +4.5.

Speaking of Toronto, they will go with veteran southpaw Steven Matz who has shown good form over his last 4 starts while compiling an excellent 1.25 ERA. The Toronto bullpen has a shiny 2.49 ERA and 1.15 WHIP throughout their last 7 games. Bet the Blue Jays as a run-line favorite.

Cardinals (Happ) @ Pirates (Peters) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 903-904

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

J.A. Happ has seemed to find his mojo of late. During his previous 3 starts, Happ has compiled a 1.53 ERA and 0.96. Included in that stat line was his previous start which came at home versus Pittsburgh when he allowed just 2 earned runs in 6.0 innings of work. The Cardinals are coming off yesterday’s 11-7 loss at Pittsburgh. They have played 5-1 to the under in their last 6 following an over in their previous game. Since 2017, St. Louis has played an eye-catching 17-3 (85%) to the under following a game in which there was a combined 17 or more runs scored. The Cardinals will be facing left-handed starter Dillon Peters today, and they have played 19-10 to the under this season when going up against southpaw starting pitchers.

Yankees (Tallion) @ A’s (Kaprielian) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 971-972

Play On: Under 8.5 (10*)

James Kaprielian has made 7 home starts this season with a terrific 1.47 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. Throughout his previous 9 starts overall Kaprielian has posted an extremely impressive 2.01 ERA. Oakland has seen just 1 of their last 9 games go over the total. The A’s have also played 45-25 (64.3%) to the under in night games this season.

The Yankees pitching has been sensational during their current 11-game win streak. Specifically speaking, New York has allowed just 2.0 runs per game during its last 9 outings. Jameson Taillon has exhibited good form over his last 3 starts with a 3.31 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He can take comfort in knowing that he’ll be supported by a Yankees bullpen which has recorded a superb staff 2.22 ERA and 1.03 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a Top Play wager.

Dodgers (Scherzer) @ Padres (Darvish) 9:10 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Padres +121 (5*)

Max Scherzer has been hit hard in his only 2 starts versus San Diego this year while compiling a large 9.28 ERA in addition to allowing 4 home runs in 10 2/3 innings pitched. Conversely, Yu Darvish has made 3 starts against the Dodgers with a brilliant 1.35 ERA and 0.55 WHIP. Furthermore, Darvish struck out 28 Dodgers over 20.0 innings pitched. Darvish has struggled in recent starts and was skipped over in his last scheduled start. That leads me to believe he wasn’t physically sound and rest being the best cure. During his career, opponents have averaged only a mere 2.8 runs per game scored against Darvish when he was working on 7 or more days of rest.

Cardinals (Mikolas) @ Pirates (Keller) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Mitch Keller as an uninspiring career pitching resume. However, if he faced the Cardinals in every start a National League Cy Young Award would be within his grasp. Since the start of last season, Keller has recorded a terrific 0.56 ERA in 3 starts versus St. Louis. The Pirates bullpen has been solid over their previous 7 games with a staff 3.49 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. Pittsburgh has played 7-2-1 to the under in their last 10 and averaged just a paltry 2.4 runs scored per game.

Miles Mikolas has had the Pirates number in his still young career. Specifically speaking, since 2019, Mikolas has made 11 starts against Pittsburgh with a sparkling 2.96 ERA and 1.10 WHIP during those outing. One of thos starts took place just last week (8/20) and Mikolas pitched 5.0 innings of scoreless baseball while allowing only 2 hits and walking 2. The Cardinals have scored 4 runs or less in each of their previous 5 game. St. Louis has played 44-26 (92.9%) to the under this season when facing a team with a losing record.

Since 2019, Snell has made 6 starts against the Dodgers with an excellent 2.31 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. That includes 3 starts against them this season where he posted a 2.35 ERA. The Padres bullpen has been lights out at home this season while recoding an impressive staff 2.85 ERA and 1.13 WHIP.

Reds (Mahle) @ Brewers (Burnes) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

Mahle has gone an extremely 10-3 during his road team starts in 2021 with a brilliant 1.73 ERA and 0.99 WHIP. Mahle has already made 2 starts at Miller in Milwaukee this season while recording a more than respectable 3.00 ERA and striking out 18 in 12.0 innings pitched. It’s also worth noting that Mahle has pitched 15-3 to the under on the road in his career when facing a divisional opponent like he’ll be doing today.

Corbin Burnes is a serious contender for the 2021 National League Cy Young Award. Burnes has been lights out of late having allowed 1 earned run or less in 8 of his last 9 starts while averaging 6.5 innings pitcher per outing. During his line start versus Cincinnati this year, Burnes pitched 8 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball while striking out 12 and walking only 1. Play on this game to go under the total.

During its last 7 games, the Marlins bullpen has a staff 9.64 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. Conversely, Washington’s bullpen as a lousy staff ERA of 6.75 and 1.69 WHIP over their previous 7 games.

Miami is coming off a 3-1 loss to Cincinnati in their previous game which obviously went under the total.

The A’s bullpen has an excellent staff 1.67 ERA and 0.78 WHIP over the course of its last 7 games. Bet on the A’s for a Top Play money line wager.

Cardinals (Happ) @ Royals (Bubic) 2:10 PM ET

Game# 929-930

Play On: Royals +108 (5*)

Let me start by saying no team with J.A. Happ as their starting pitcher deserves to be a favorite right now and regardless of the opponent. Happ has made 9 road starts this season with a sizable 7.52 ERA and 1.61 WHIP. Happ has made 2 starts versus Kansas City this season with a large 9.65 ERA and 2.04 WHIP. The Cardinals are coming off yesterday’s 9-4 win at Kansas City. However, they’re a poor 5-15 since last year following a game in which they scored 8 or more runs and were outscored by a substantial 2.8 runs per outing.

Kansas City is a perfect 6-0 at home this season with Kris Bubic as their starting pitcher. Bubic has displayed good form over his last 3 starts with a 3.24 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. Bet the Royals for a money line wager.

Brewers (Lauer) @ Pirates (Peters) 1:05 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Brewers -1.5 (-118) (5*)

Dillon Peters makes his first start of the season after recently being called up from the minors. Peters has an uninspiring 5.83 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 24 career MLB starts. Peters has also allowed 19 home runs in just 53 1/3 innings pitched in AAA ball this year. That’s not good news since he will be facing a Brewers team that has smacked 14 homers over their previous 7 games and compiled an extremely impressive .978 OPS while doing so. Peters has a massive 12.95 ERA and 2.40 WHIP in 2 career starts versus Milwaukee. The Pirates bullpen have a lofty 6.26 ERA and 1.57 WHIP throughout their last 7 games. Pittsburgh will be facing lefthanded starter Eric Lauer today. The Pirates are 7-23 versus lefty starters this season and have been outscored by an average of 2.8 runs per game.

Speaking of Eric Lauer, he has a microscopic 0.64 ERA during his previous 5 starts. He’s also 2-0 versus Pittsburgh this year with a brilliant 0.79 ERA. Milwaukee is a terrific 39-20 in road games this season and 37-19 versus fellow NL Central opponents. Conversely, Pittsburgh is an abysmal 13-39 versus NL Central teams in 2021 and has also dropped 9 of their 10 games overall. Bet the Brewers for a run-line wager.

Yankees (Taillon) @ White Sox (Cease) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: Yankees +128 (10*)

The Yankees are coming off a gut wrenching 9-8 loss to the White Sox in their previous game. However, the Bronx Bombers are 6-0 in their last 6 following a loss. The Yankees are also a profitable 47-26 (.644) during night games this season. The Yankees Jameson Taillon is 5-0 during his last 5 team starts with a brilliant 0.89 ERA. Furthermore, Taillon is 15-5 during his career road starts when facing a team with a winning record. The White Sox Dylan Cease has made 1 start against the Yankees this season and allowed 5 earned runs in only 4 1/3 innings pitched. Bet on the Yankees for a Top Play money line wager.

Blue Jays (Ray) @ Mariners (Flexen) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 925-926

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Seattle has played 7-1 to the under during its last 8 games and they scored 4 runs or fewer on each occasion. The Mariners Chris Flexen has been outstanding in 12 home starts this year while recording a 2.67 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. The Mariners bullpen has a shiny staff 2.49 ERA and 1.16 WHIP.

Toronto has gone over the total in each of its last 2 games. However, the Blue Jays have played 9-0-1 to the under during their last 10 after going over in each of their last 2 games played, and there were only a combined 5.9 runs scored per occurrence. The Blue Jays Robbie Ray has been superb this year. Specifically speaking, Ray has pitched 3-0 to the under in his last 3 road starts with a microscopic 0.95 ERA. Ray has seen 8 of his last 9 outings result in quality starts. The Toronto bullpen has been lights out recently with a staff 1.25 ERA through their last 7 games.

Game# 921-922

Play On: Over 9.5 (5*)

Tampa Bay has scored 8 runs or more in each of their previous 6 away games. The Rays have stayed under in just 19 of 58 (32.8%) road games this season. The Rays are coming off yesterday’s 8-1 win at Boston. That result is significant since Tampa Bay has played 7-0 to the over on the road in 2021 following a game in which they allowed 1 run or fewer.

Minnesota is coming off a 1-0 win over the White Sox in their previous outing. The Twins have played 19-4 (82.6%) to the over this season after allowing 2 runs or fewer in their previous game. Despite their poor 50-65 record, the Twins have cracked an impressive 163 home runs this season. Bet on this game to go over the total.

Game# 901-902

The Reds Tyler Mahle has shown well over his last 3 starts with a sparkling 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP.

Mahle has pitched 20-8 (71.4%) to the under during his career as a money line underdog of +100 or greater. The ofter maligned Reds bullpen has been solid of late with a staff 2.70 ERA and 1.16 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games.

Game# 975-976

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

The Blue Jays Jose Berrios has seen each of his last 3 starts go under and his 0.47 ERA during 20.0 innings pitched was a key component to those low scoring affairs. One of those outing saw Berrios pitch 7.0 innings of scoreless baseball versus the Angels. The Toronto bullpen has a stellar 2.05 ERA and 1.18 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games.

The Angels Ohtani has been dominating over his last 3 starts with a 0.95 ERA and 0.68 WHIP during 19.0 innings pitched.

Furthermore, Woodruff has made 2 starts at Wrigley Field this season and didn’t allow an earned run in 13.0 innings of work.

Dodgers (Price) @ Phillies (Gibson) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Under 10.0 (5*)

Kyle Gibson will be making his 3rd start for the Phillies after being traded from Texas. His first 2 were gems while allowing just 2 earned runs in 12 2/3 innings pitched. This is nothing new for Gibson this season who has compiled an excellent 2.79 ERA in 21 starts. Gibson has been especially good at home where he’s been 9-1 in his team starts with an excellent 1.74 ERA. Philadelphia has played 4-0 to the under in their last 4 and there was only a combined 5.5 runs scored per game. The Phillies have also played 4-0 to the under in their meeting versus Los Angeles this season and there was just an extremely low 4.7 runs combined scored per game. The Phillies will be facing Dodgers veteran lefthander David Price this evening. Price has walked a mere 0.88 batters per outing over 8 starts. Philadelphia has played 15-5 to the under this season when facing pitchers who walk 1.75 or less batters per start.

The Dodgers will be hoping for 5 solid innings from Price. Then from there, they can turn it over to their superb bullpen. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Marlins (Alcantara) @ Padres (Weathers) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 901-902

Play On: Over 8.0 (5*)

The Marlins Sandy Alcantara is coming off a brutal start at Colorado in which he allowed 10 earned runs in just 3 2/3 innings pitched.

The Miami bullpen has a lofty 5.01 ERA and 1.55 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games.

Diamondbacks @ Giants 9:45 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Over 8.0 (5*)

Zac Gallen is 0-3 in his team starts versus San Francisco this season with a sizable 8.71 ERA and 1.94 WHIP. Gallen has seen his last 3 road starts all go over the total and his massive 10.33 ERA during those outings was a major contributor to those high scoring affairs. Gallen doesn’t figure to get much help from an Arizona bullpen which has posted a staff 6.20 ERA throughout their previous 7 games.

Alex Wood has shown shaky form over his last 3 starts with a 5.65 ERA and 1.68 WHIP. The Giants have averaged 5.6 runs scored per game while connecting on 11 homers during their previous 7 games.

Reds (Gray) @ Braves (Smyly) 7:20 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Reds -102 (5*)

Drew Smyly has exhibited poor form over his last 3 starts with a sizable 1.92 WHIP while averaging just 4.0 innings pitched per outing. Smyly is 2-5 in his home team starts this season with a lofty 4.71 ERA and he surrendered 9 home runs over 36 1/3 innings pitched. Atlanta has a less than inspiring 29-28 home record this season.

The Reds are coming off a 9-3 loss at Cleveland yesterday which put a halt to a 5-game win streak. However, Cincinnati is 5-0 in their last 5 away games following a road loss. The Reds are also an impressive 19-10 in their last 29 away games. Red pitcher Sonny Gray has struggled of late but all those less than desirable outings took place at his hitter-friendly home ballpark in Cincinnati. Conversely, Gray is 3-0 in his last 3 away team starts with an excellent 1.42 ERA and 0.95 WHIP while not yielding any home runs during 19.0 innings of work. The current total in this game is 9.5 and that’s significant. Gray has gone 15-1 in his teams starts since the start of last season whenever there was a total of 9.0 or 9.5. The logic behind that record and based on those totals is Gray is money when facing an opponent starting pitcher that is far from dominant. Bet on the Reds for a money line wager.
