Rangers (Gibson) @ Astros (McCulluers) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 921-922

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

I know Houston has been red-hot offensively, so then why is this total not 9.0 or greater? The answer is because of the Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson who is slated to start tonight and is enjoying a superb season thus far. Specifically speaking, Gibson has an excellent 2.14 ERA and 1.01 WHIP during 12 starts in 2021. That includes displaying brilliant form over his last 3 starts while compiling a 1.56 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Since the start of last season, Gibson has made 4 starts against Houston and had a terrific 0.96 ERA during those outings. Gibson has also been brilliant in his last 4 starts at Minute Maid Park in Houston while recording a 1.57 ERA and 0.78 WHIP during those appearances.

The Astros Lance McCullers Jr. will take the mound tonight and he’s displayed great form over his last 3 starts with a 1.89 ERA in 19.0 innings of work. McCullers last 4 against Texas have all occurred since 2020 and he dominated the Rangers in those outings which is evidenced by him registering a 1.23 ERA while doing so. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Padres (Lamet) @ Rockies (Gomber) 8:40 ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Rockies +135 (5*)

San Diego is coming off a 7-3 away win over the Mets on Sunday which halted a 6-game road losing streak. However, not they have to travel across 2 times zones and play on no rest at Coors Field. Dinelson Lamet makes the start for San Diego and the flame throwing righthander doesn’t look to me as being fully recovered from a 2020 season ending injury.

Colorado returns home from a 1-5 road trip and that makes their away record an abysmal 5-27. Nonetheless, this one is at the friendly confines of Coors Field where they are 20-14 this season, and that includes 19-10 in their last 29 at home. Austin Gomber gets the start for Colorado, and he’s been dominant over his last 6 starts while compiling a 1.57 ERA and 0.84 WHIP recorded during that stretch. During 4 starts this season at hitter-friendly Coors Field, Gomber has a terrific 1.33 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and has only given up 1 home run in 20 1/3 innings pitched. Bet on the Rockies for a 5* money line wager.

Braves (Smyly) @ Marlins (Lopez) 1:10 PM ET

Game# 903-904

Play On: Marlins -121 (5*)

Atlanta has gone 0-4 in their last 4 overall and 1-6 during its previous 6 away games. Conversely, Miami is a more than respectable 13-6 in their last 19 at home.

The Atlanta starter Drew Smyly has displayed bad form over his last 3 starts with a 7.72 ERA and 1.64 WHIP. The Braves bullpen has a lofty 5.12 ERA and 1.60 WHIP on the road this season.

Miami starter Pablo Lopez has been terrific in 7 home starts this season with a 1.21 ERA and 0.84 WHIP during those outings. Lopez has made 4 career home starts against Atlanta and had a 1.52 ERA during those appearances. Bet on the Marlins for a 5* money line wager.

Padres (Paddack) @ Mets (Lucchesi) 1:10 PM ET

Game# 923-924

Play On: Mets +117 (5*)

The Padres Chris Paddack was extremely shaky during his last 2 starts while recording a 6.97 ERA and surrendering 4 home runs in just 10 1/3 innings pitched. San Diego has lost 4 straight overall and is also a dismal 0-7 in their previous 7 away games. San Diego will be facing Mets lefty starter Joey Lucchesi today. Since 2019, the Padres are a terrible 11-25 on the road when facing a left-handed starting pitcher.

The Mets are 11-1 in their last 12 at Citi Field and that includes 6-0 during its previous 6. Speaking of Joey Lucchesi, he’s compiled a brilliant 1.46 ERA and 0.81 WHIP during his last 3 starts which was over just a combined 12.3 innings pitched. However, the Mets bullpen has performed well this season and most notably at home where they have a staff 1.81 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 7-7 in save opportunities. Bet on the Mets for a 5* money line wager.

Yankees (German) @ Phillies (Nola) 1:05 PM ET

Game# 925-926

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

After a shaky 2021 debut, Domingo German has been terrific for the Yankees. Specifically speaking, German is 4-1 in his team starts on the road with a 2.10 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. The Phillies ace Aaron Nola has made 4 starts during day games this season with an excellent 2.10 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. Nola has made just 1 career start versus the Yankees and that came last season in Philadelphia. During that outing, Nola allowed only 1 earned run on 3 hits while striking out 12 and failing to yield a walk. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Pirates (Kuhl) @ Brewers (Burnes) 4:10 ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

I know Chad Kuhl has been consistently shaking all season, but he does have a shiny resume when facing Milwaukee. Kuhl is 8-0 in his career team starts against Milwaukee with a terrific 2.30 ERA and 1.05 WHIP while doing so. The Pirates bullpen entered the weekend with a brilliant 1.38 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over their previous 7 games. Pittsburgh has also played 16-9 (64%) to the under during the day this season.

Milwaukee’s Corbin Burnes has been sensational this season in 10 starts with a 1.97 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, and recorded 94 strikeouts against only 7 walks in 59 1/3 innings pitched. The Brewers bullpen entered the weekend with a sparkling 2.42 ERA over their last 7 games and amassed 42 strikeouts in just 26.0 innings of work. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Orioles (Lopez) @ Rays (Hill) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 971-972

Play On: Rays -1.5 (+102) (5*)

Baltimore is coming off last night’s 4-2 loss at Tropicana Field and they’ve now lost 11 consecutive away games. During that futile road stretch, Baltimore lost 9 of those 11 games by 2 runs or more. The Orioles Jorge Lopez has made 5-day-games starts this season and posted an uninspiring 5.76 ERA during those appearances. By the way, Baltimore is a dismal 9-19 during day games in 2021.

Tampa Bay has gone 4-0 versus Baltimore this season and outscored them by a cumulative score of 36-16. The Rays have gone a tremendous 19-6 during day games this season. Furthermore, Tampa Bay is a sizzling hot 21-5 in their last 26 games played. The Rays Rich Hill has compiled a microscopic 0.68 ERA throughout his previous 7 starts. The Rays bullpen has a brilliant 1.38 ERA during its last 7 games while also striking out 33 in 24.0 innings of work. Bet on the Rays for a 5* run-line wager.

Mariners (Kikuchi) @ Indians (McKenzie) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 969-970

Play On: Mariners +109 (5*)

The Indians Triston McKenzie is 0-4 in his last 4 team starts and his 8.00 ERA during that stretch was a major reason why. McKenzie has made 5-day-game starts in 2021 while registering a lofty 5.91 ERA and 1.59 WHIP during those outings. McKenzie made 1 start against the Mariners this season and it was far from a good outing. During that start at Seattle, McKenzie allowed 5 earned runs in just 4 1/3 innings pitched. Cleveland is coming off last night’s 7-0 win over Seattle. However, the Indians are 0-4 in their last 4 and 2-8 during its previous 10 following a win in their previous game.

Seattle pitcher Yusei Kikuchi has been extremely sharp in 4 starts during the day this season while posting a stellar 2.36 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. He also averaged a sizable 6.7 innings pitched per outing thru those previously mentioned appearances. Kikuchi also has an impressive 1.05 WHIP in all of his 11 starts in 2021. Seattle has lost 2 straight and is 3-0 in their last 3 following back-to-back losses and won by a decisive 4.3 runs per game. Bet on the Mariners for a 5* money line wager.

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

Game# 907-908

Play On: Mets -1.5 (+147) (5*)

The Padres Blake Snell has been great at home this season. Unfortunately for Snell, his start today comes on the road where the southpaw has struggled mightily. Specifically speaking, Snell is 0-6 in his team starts on the road with an alarmingly high 9.70 ERA and 2.11 WHIP. The Padres are just 3-8 in their last 11 games and that includes 0-4 on the road. The Padres are averaging just 2.7 runs scored per game over their previous 7 outings.

What can you say about Jacob DeGrom that hasn’t already been mentioned? DeGrom has made 9 starts this season while recording a microscopic 0.62 ERA and 0.57 WHIP. Furthermore, DeGrom allowed 1 earned run or less in all 9 starts. The Mets bullpen has been terrific at home while registering a staff 1.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and they’re a perfect 5-5 in save opportunities. New York is 15-5 at home this season and includes 9-1 during their previous 10 at Citi Field. Bet on the Mets for a 5* run-line wager.

Mariners (Dunn) @ Indians (Civale) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Over 9.0 (5*)

I like the starting pitchers in this matchup. Although, Anthony Civale allowed 5 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings during his lone start versus Seattle earlier this year. Nonetheless, I can do without Seattle’s bullpen, and even the usually reliable Cleveland relievers have struggled of late. The Indians have gone over the total during its last 4 and there was a combined 14.5 runs scored per game. Seattle has played 4-1 to the over during their previous 5 and there was a combined average of 13.0 runs scored per game. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Braves (Morton) @ Marlins (Alcantara) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Marlins +106 (5*)

Atlanta’s Charlie Morton has been in good form during his last 4 starts. However, he’s only made it beyond 6.0 innings in 1 of his 12 starts this season. That’s an issue when considering that Atlanta’s bullpen has pitched poorly on the road as evidenced by a staff 5.36 ERA and 1.62 WHIP.

The Marlins Sandy Alcantara has displayed excellent form during his last 4 starts with a shiny 1.93 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and averaged an impressive 7.0 innings pitcher per appearance. The Miami bullpen has pitched well at home in 2021 with a staff 3.21 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. The Marlins are a poor 13-22 in away games but have been a respectable 14-13 at home. Bet on the Marlins for a 5* money line wager.

Yankees (King) @ Twins (Happ) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 967-968

Play On: Over 11.0 (5*)

At first look I saw how high this total is for 2 teams that have vastly underachieved offensively this season. Nevertheless, J.A. Happ get the start tonight for Minnesota and he’s going through a brutal stretch which has seen him post a 10.17 ERA and 1.91 WHIP throughout his previous 5 starts. All 5 of those games went over the total thanks in large part to Happ’s abysmal performances. Minnesota has played 31-10 to the over during their last 41 games played. The Wins are also 17-4 to the over on the season when they’ve been a money line underdog of +100 or greater.

Michael King will take the mound for New York this evening and he has an uninspiring 7.05 ERA and 1.44 WHIP during 2 starts. The Bronx Bombers will be facing a Twins team which allowing an alarmingly high 5.3 runs per game this season. Since the 2019 season began, New York has played 41-16 (72%) to the over on the road when facing American League teams who allow 4.9 runs or more per game. The Yankees have taken the first 2 games of this series by scored of 9-6 and 8-4. There was a combined 9 home runs and 50 hits in those 2 games. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Blue Jays (Ryu) @ White Sox (Keuchel) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 965-966

Play On: White Sox +101 (10*)

The White Sox will be facing a lefty starter in Toronto’s Hyun-Jin Ryu. Since the starter of last season, the White have gone an incredible 29-4 when facing lefthanded starting pitchers. Ryu has displayed great control this season while walking just 11 men during his 11 starts. However, the White Sox are 14-1 at home this season when facing a pitcher that averages 1.75 or fewer walks per start. Dallas Keuchel gets the start for the White Sox tonight. Chicago is 5-1 at home this season when Keuchel was their starter. Bet on the White Sox for a 10* Top Play money line wager.

Cleveland (Mejia) @ St. Louis (Wainwright) 8:15 PM ET

Game# 929-930

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Adam Wainwright has pitched 6-1 to the under in 7 home starts this season with a brilliant 2.62 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Wainwright averaged 6.9 innings pitched per start during those 7 home appearances. The Cardinals are coming off yesterday’s 10-1 home loss to Cleveland. Since the start of last season, St. Louis has played 9-1 to the under following a game in which they allowed 10 runs or more. Conversely, Cleveland is 10-1 to the under since 2020 and following a game where they scored 9 runs or more. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Seattle (Flexen) @ Detroit (Mize) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 913-914

Play On: Detroit -132 (10*)

Seattle has gone a dismal 6-15 in their last 21 away games. The Mariners Chris Flexen has been terrible in 4 road starts this season while compiling a sizable 8.10 ERA and 1.85 . Flexen doesn’t figure to get much help from a Mariners bullpen who has an awful 8.77 ERA throughout their previous 7 games.

Detroit has gone a respectable 16-11 in their last 27 games. The Tigers are also 10-5 in their previous 15 home games and that includes 4-0 during its last 4 at Comerica Park. Detroit is 4-0 versus Seattle this year. The Tigers Casey Mize has been in excellent form over his last 4 starts while recoding a 2.08 ERA and 0.77 WHIP during that stretch. Mize won his only start versus Seattle this season while allowing only 1 earned runs on 3 hits and 3 walks in 7 2/3 innings pitched. Bet on Detroit for a 10* Top Play money line wager.

Atlanta (Smyly) @ Philadelphia (Nola) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Over 9.0 (5*)

You will rarely see a Phillies game with a total this high when Aaron Nola is their starting pitcher. The sportsbooks are inviting bettors to take the under. However, it’s rarely as easy as it looks when it comes to sports betting, and this is a prime example of just that. Nola has been shaky in starts versus Atlanta this season while posting a lofty 7.59 ERA. Drew Smyly has made 1 starts versus Philadelphia in 2021 and allowed 5 earned runs over 5.0 innings pitched. Both bullpens have been shaky all season. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Cubs (Alzolay) @ Padres (Weathers) 10: 10 PM ET

Game# 901-902

Play On: Cubs +115 (5*)

The Cubs will face lefty starter Ryan Weathers on Monday night. Weathers is coming off a shaky start in his last outing and will be going up against a Cubs team which is an outstanding 13-4 versus lefthanded starters this season. The Padres hitters certainly aren’t giving their pitching staff much support after averaging a mere 2.0 runs scored per game throughout its previous 7. The Cubs Adbert Alzolay enters today in excellent form over his last 3 starts while posting a 1.53 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. The Cubs bullpen has performed brilliantly over the past couple of weeks. There’s betting value on the road money line underdog in this one. Bet the Cubs for a 5* money line wager.

Mets (Walker) @ Padres (Darvish) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 911-912

Play On: Under 6.5 (5*)

I didn’t let this small total deter me from betting under in this matchup. The Mets righthander Tijuan Walkers has been sensational this season 9 starts with a 1.84 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. During his previous 3 starts Walker has a dominating 0.60 ERA. Walker has started 5 times in his against San Diego and registered a 1.33 ERA/0.59 WHIP while doing so.

Yu Darvish has gone 10-1 in his team starts this season with a sparkling 2.16 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. The Padres bullpen has performed consistently good through the first 2 plus months of the season. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Tigers (Mize) @ White Sox (Lynn) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Casey Mize has pitched 9-1 to the under this season with a shiny 3.28 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. Mize has seen his last 3 starts all stay under and his superb 1.42 ERA and 0.79 WHIP were key contributors to these low scoring affairs. The Tigers bullpen has shown vast improvement recently while compiling a 2.01 ERA and 1.15 WHIP throughout its last 7 games.

Lance Lynn has been a bulldog for the White Sox while recording a 1.37 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 7 starts. White Sox relief pitchers have a combined 0.58 ERA and 0.39 WHIP thru their previous 7 games. Chicago played over the total in their last game. They have gone 6-1 to the under in their last 7 following an over in their previous game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Twins (Happ) @ Royals (Bubic) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Royals -109 (5*)

Minnesota hurler J.A. Happ has been in terrible form during his previous 4 starts while posting a 10.50 ERA and 1.94 WHIP. The Twins bullpen has been shaky for the better part of this season and especially so on the road.

Kris Bubic is 3-0 during his 3 team starts in 2021 for Kansas City with a brilliant 1.59 ERA and 1.06 WHIP.  The Kansas City bullpen has been lights out over their previous 7 games while recording 1.93 ERA as a staff. The Royals have averaged a sizable 7.2 runs per game throughout their last 5 and pounded out 11 or more hits 4 times. Bet on the Royals for a 5* money line wager.

Red Sox (Pivetta) @ Astros (Valdez) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 967-968

Play On: Red Sox +130 (5*)

The Red Sox have lost the first 2 games of this series. However, Boston is 7-1 in their last 8 following back-to-back losses. Despite those defeats the last 2 days, Boston is still a sparling 16-9 in away games this season Boston will be facing lefty Framber Valdez today. The Red Sox are 112-5 this season versus lefthanded starting pitchers. Boston will go with Nick Pivetta on the mound today. The Red Sox are an extremely profitable 9-1 this season when Pivetta is their starting pitcher. Bet on the Red Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Padres (Lamet) @ Cubs (Alzolay) 2:20 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Cubs -122 (5*)

The Padres Dinelson Lamet has made 4 starts this season and has been handled with kid gloves after returning from last year’s season ending injury. He’s only pitched a total of 9.0 innings in those outings, and over his last 3 has a concerning 1.86 WHIP. The Padres have lost 3 straight heading into today.

The Cubs Adbert Alzolay has an outstanding 0.93 WHIP in 9 starts this season. The Cubs bullpen has been excellent over their last 7 games with a staff 0.73 ERA. The Cubs are a perfect 6-0 this season versus teams that average outscoring their opponents by 1.0 or more runs per game and San Diego qualifies in that regard. Lastly, Chicago is 8-1 in their last 9, 10-2 during its previous 12, and they’ve gone 20-10 at Wrigley Field this season. Bet on the Cubs for a 5* money line wager.

Oakland (Bassitt) @ Seattle (Gonzalez) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Under 8.0 (10*)

This will be the first time that Chris Bassitt will pitch against Seattle this season. He made 2 starts against them last year and was dominant while allowing just 1 earned run on 8 hits and walked none during 12 2/3 innings pitched. Bassitt is 7-1 in his last 8 team starts and 7 of those were quality ones. The Oakland bullpen has been lights out throughout their previous 7 games with a cumulative staff ERA of 1.29 and 0.95 WHIP. Oakland has played 6-2 to the under in their last 8 games.

The Mariners Marco Gonzalez has displayed excellent form over his last 3 starts with a 2.50 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. The Seattle bullpen has been superb during their previous 7 games with a staff 1.78 ERA during that stretch. Seattle has been one of the worst offensive teams in MLB thus far in 2021. Additionally, like Oakland, they have played 6-2 to the under during their previous 8 games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play.

Nationals (Ross) @ Braves (Morton) 5:10 PM ET

Game# 955-956

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

Washington starter Joe Ross is 0-3 in his last 3 road team starts this with a terrible 8.52 ERA and 1.89 WHIP. The Nationals enter today on a 4-game losing streak and scored only a combined 4 runs in that stretch including being held scoreless twice.

The Braves were rained out yesterday and are coming off a 13-2 blowout loss on Saturday at Citi Field in New York. Since the start of last season, Atlanta has gone an extremely profitable 23-8 following a game in which they scored 2 runs or less and outscored their opponents by 2.7 runs per outing. Atlanta pitcher Charlie Morton has displayed superb form over his last 3 starts while posting a 2.04 ERA and 0.91 WHIP.Bet on the Braves for a 10* run line wager.

Angels (Bundy) @ Giants (Cueto) 4:05 PM ET

Game# 975-976

Play On: Giants -143 (5*)

The Angels Dylan Bundy has been horrible over his last 3 starts while recording a massive 15.84 ERA and 2.28 WHIP. Bundy lasted only a combined 9.3 innings pitched in those outings and surrendered 4 home runs. That’s not good news when considering he’ll be facing a Giants team which has cracked 12 homers in their previous 7 games.

Johnny Cueto has been solid in 3 home starts this season with a 3.11 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 17 1/3 innings pitched. The Giants bullpen has been solid throughout their previous 7 games while recording a staff 1.08 WHIP. San Francisco is a profitable 14-7 at home thus far in 2021. The Giants have been a huge money maker in days games this season while going 15-5. Bet on the Giants for 5* money line wager.

Both starting pitchers have been red-hot in recent starts. The first 2 games of this series have gone over the total. I look for that to change today. Especially when considering today's home plate umpire is slated to be Rob Drake. Since 2019, when Drake has been behind the plate games have played an incredible 35-14 (71%) to the under. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Rangers (Foltynewicz) @ Mariners (Dunn) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: Mariners -111 (5*)

Texas enters today on a 10-game road losing streak which includes the first 2 in this series. Texas starter Mike Folynewicz has faced Seattle once this season and was far from dominating while allowing 4 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings pitched. The Rangers righthander has pitched well during the day but in 5 starts at night he’s compiled a poor 6.31 ERA and 1.64 WHIP. The Texas bullpen has a less than stellar 5.11 ERA and 5.40 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games.

After recently suffering through a recent 6-game losing streak, the Mariners have bounced back to win 4 of their last 5. Seattle pitcher Justin Dunn is 3-0 in his team starts versus Texas during his young career with a shiny 2.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. The Mariners bullpen has a more than respectable staff 3.14 ERA and 1.10 WHIP at home this season. Since 2019, Seattle has gone a profitable 14-5 at home versus Texas. Bet on the Mariners for a 5* money line wager.

Braves (Fried) @ Mets (Walker) 7:15 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Under 6.5 (5*)

I’m not going to let this small total deter me from ignoring the specifics at hand. Max Fried has displayed superb form over his last 4 starts while registering a 1.50 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and averaged 6.0 innings pitched per outing. The Atlanta bullpen has been lights out over the past 7 games with a combined 0.95 ERA.

The Mets have played 14-3-2 to the under at home in 2021 and that includes 9-1 during night games. Taijuan Walker has been terrific this season while going 7-1 in his team starts with a 2.05 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. He’s been even better than that at home while going 4-0 with a 1.48 ERA. The Mets bullpen has been lights out at home in 2021 with a staff 1.50 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Lastly, the weather forecast is calling for winds blowing in from right-center at 14-15 MPH. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Angels (Cobb) @ A’s (Montas) 4:07 PM ET

Game# 967-968

Play On: Over 8.0 (5*)

Alex Cobb has made 3 road starts this season for the Angels while recording a terrible 8.70 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in those outings. Cobb doesn’t figure to get much support from an Angels bullpen which has a cumulative 6.66 ERA and 1.83 WHIP throughout its last 7 games. The Angels have gone over the total in 6 of their previous 7 when there was a total of 8.0 or 8.5. The Angels have gone under in each of their last 2 games. The Halos have played 4-1 to the over this season following back-to-back games that stayed under.

Frankie Montas has an uninspiring 6.17 ERA and 1.57 WHIP during 7 home starts in 2021. Montas has a lofty 5.28 ERA in 3 day-game starts this season and each of those went over the total. Oakland has played 14-4 to the over this season when there’s been a total of 8.0 or 8.5. The A’s have also played 16-5 to the over in day games this season. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Giants (DeSclafani) @ Dodgers (Buehler) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 911-912

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

The San Francisco starting pitcher Anthony DeScalafani has pitched very well for the Giants this season when assessing his overall resume. Nonetheless, his last start came against the Dodgers, and he allowed an alarmingly high 10 earned runs in just 2 2/3 innings pitched. As a matter of fact, since 2018, DeScalafani is 0-3 in his team starts versus the Dodgers with a massive 15.09 ERA, and he failed to reach the 5th inning in any of those outings.

The Dodgers have caught fire after going through a disappointing start to their 2021 campaign. The Dodgers are 13-2 during their previous 15 games and 10 of those wins came by 2 runs or more. Los Angeles has also won 10 of its last 11 at home. Walker Buehler is 6-0 in his career team starts versus San Francisco with a 2.57 ERA. Buehler has pitched extremely well in 9 starts this season with a 2.78 ERA and 0.89 WHIP while averaging an impressive 6.5 innings pitched per outing. Bet on the Dodgers for a 5* run-line wager.

Royals (Bubic) @ Twins (Dobnak) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 917-918

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

The Twins are finally looking like the team I thought they would be while winning 6 of their previous 7 games. Minnesota pitcher Randy Dobnak had a successful 2021 debut start last Friday at Cleveland when he pitched 6.0 innings of scoreless baseball in a 10-0 Twins win. Dobnak is 3-0 in his career team starts versus Kansas City with a sparkling 2.87 ERA and 1.15 WHIP.

The Royals starter Kris Bubic has looked sharp in his only 2 starts of the season. However, Bubic has made 2 career starts versus Minnesota and both came last season. During those outings, Bubic posted a sizable 7.05 ERA and atrocious 2.48 WHIP. The Royals bats have been silent for the most part over their last 4 games. Throughout that stretch, the Royals averaged only 2.0 runs scored and 6.0 hits per game. Bet on the Twins for a 5* run-line wager.

Padres (Lamet) @ Astros (Valdez) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Houston -115 (5*)

Since the 2019 season began, San Diego is a dismal 10-25 during away games when facing lefthanded starting pitchers. The extremely talented Dinelson Lamet makes his 2nd start of the year after beginning this season on the injured list. Despite his superb physical talents, Lamet is an abysmal 1-13 in his career team starts when facing teams that average outscoring their opponents by 0.5 runs or more per game. Heading into today, Houston has outscored their opponents by an average of 1.1 runs per game. The Astros are also 7-1 in their last 8 at home. Bet on the Astros for a 5* money line wager.

Royals (Minor) @ Rays (Glasnow) 7:10 ET

Game# 923-924

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

Mike Minor has pitched well in 4 road starts this season while posting a 3.43 ERA and 3 of those game went under the total. Kansas City has played 15-6 to the under in their 2021 road games and that includes 6-1 throughout its previous 7. The Royals are coming off yesterday’s 2-1 win which halted a Tampa Bay 11-game win streak. Kansas City has played 8-1 to the under on the road following a game in which they scored 2 runs or less. The Royals will have the unenviable task of facing Rays righthander Tyler Glasnow today. Glasnow has been brilliant in 4 home starts this season while recording a 2.20 ERA and 0.80 WHIP. Both bullpens have been stellar in recent games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Cardinals (Kim) @ White Sox (Lynn) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 915-916

Play On: White Sox -1.5 (+115) (10*)

The St. Louis lefthanded pitcher Kim is 5-1 in his team starts this season with a shiny 2.73 ERA. However, he’s yet to reach the 6th inning in any of those outings. That is problematic when considering the Cardinals bullpen has a cumulative 7.46 ERA and 2.01 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games.

The White Sox Lance Lynn has been terrific in 7 starts this season while posting a 1.55 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. The White Sox bullpen has been solid at home this year while recording a staff 3.38 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and amassing 75 strikeouts while walking just 13. The White Sox have gone an extremely profitable 24-3 when facing lefthanded starters since last season began. They have faced 12 southpaw starters in 2021 and averaged 8.0 runs scored per game while smashing 17 home runs. Putting that home run number in perspective, Chicago has hit only 27 home runs in 33 games when facing right-handed starters. Bet the White on the run-line for a 10* Top Play wager.

Cubs (Alzolay) @ Cardinals (Mikolas) 7:15 PM ET

Game# 911-912

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

The Cubs are coming off last night’s 12-3 win at St. Louis. The Cubs have played 6-0 to the under on the road this season when there’s been a total of 8.5 or less and their previous game went over. Those 6 outings averaged only a combined 5.7 runs scored per game. The Cubs Adbert Alzolay has a terrific 0.89 WHIP during his 7 starts this season. Alzolay has 1 career start at Busch Stadium and tossed 5.0 innings of scoreless baseball. The Cubs bullpen has been outstanding over its last 8 games with a staff 1.65 ERA throughout that span.

The Cardinals have played 5-0 to the under in their previous 5 as a money line home favorite this season when the total was 8.5 or less and they went over in their previous game and there just a combined 6.0 runs scored per occurrence. Miles Mikolas will make his first start of the season for the Cardinals and that’s not good news for the Cubs hitters. Mikolas has made 4 career starts at Busch Stadium versus the Cubs with a brilliant 1.05 ERA in 25 2/3 innings pitched. Since 2019, St. Louis has played 23-8 to the under following a game in which there was a combined 15 runs or more scored. Bet on this game to go under for a 5* wager.

Arizona (Bumgarner) @ Colorado (Senzatela) 3:10 PM ET

Game# 901-902

Play On: Colorado +104 (5*)

I understand how hot Arizona pitcher Madison Bumgarner has been in recent starts. However, pitching at Coors Field has been an enigma for Bumgarner. Since the 2019 season began, Bumgarner has made 3 starts at Coors with a 7.32 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. The Diamondbacks bullpen has been extremely shaky over the past week. Additionally, Arizona lost 7-1 last night at Coors and they’ve now lost 11 consecutive road games. The Diamondbacks have also lost 6 straight overall and are 3-14 during its previous 17 games played.

Colorado is an abysmal 2-17 on the road this season. Nonetheless, they’re a somewhat respectable 14-12 at home. Furthermore, the Rockies have average 8.0 runs scored per game throughout their last 5 at home. Antonio Senzatela is coming off an impressive start last Sunday at home when he allowed 1 earned run on 4 hits while walking only 1 during 7.0 innings pitched versus Cincinnati. Senzatela has faced Arizona at Coors Field once already this season and pitched 8.0 innings of scoreless baseball during an 8-0 Rockies win. Bet on Colorado for a 5* money line wager.

Dodgers (Bauer) @ Giants (Wood) 9:45 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Trevor Bauer has made 9 starts this season while posting an excellent 2.20 ERA and 0.75 WHIP during those outings. Bauer has pitched 67-29 (70%) to the under in his career road starts, and that includes 32-11 (74.4%) on the road versus teams with a winning record. The Dodgers bullpen has been dominant over their previous 7 games evidenced by a staff 1.35 ERA and 0.79 WHIP during that time. The Dodgers have played 5-1 to the under in their last 6 while allowing only 1.5 runs and 4.0 hits per game.

The Giants Alex Wood is 5-1 in his team starts this season with a brilliant 1.75 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Wood has a sparkling 2.18 ERA in 3 career starts versus the Dodgers and last 6 2/3 innings or more in each of those outings. The Giants bullpen has been solid at home this season. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Tigers (Urana) @ Royals (Minor) 8:05 PM ET

Game# 971-972

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Detroit has played 6-1-1 to the underdog in their previous 8 games. Kansas City played 4-1 to the under during its last 5 games. These teams have faced each other 7 times already this season and 6 of those went under the total.

The Tigers Jose Urena has made 4 road starts this season with a stellar 2.45 ERA, and all 4 games went under. The Tigers righthander averaged 6.4 innings pitched per start in those 4 away outings. The maligned Tigers bullpen has found its groove recently while recording a cumulative 2.11 ERA and 1.08 WHIP throughout their previous 7 games. Detroit will be facing a southpaw in Mike Minor today. They’ve played 10-2 to the under this season when facing a lefthanded starting pitcher.

Mike Minor has pitched much better than his ERA indicates over his last 3 starts. During that stretch, Minor recorded an excellent 0.92 WHIP. The Royals bullpen has combined to compile an excellent 0.78 ERA in their last 7 games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Astros (Greinke) @ A’s (Montas) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 975-976

Play On: Astros -113 (5*)

This one is all about the starting pitching matchup. Frankie Montas is 4-1 in his home team starts but that’s misleading. During those 5 outings, Montas had a lofty 6.75 ERA and was bailed out by the ample run support of his teammates. That doesn’t figure to be the case this evening. The A’s will be facing Zack Greinke who has been dominant in 4 starts at Oakland since 2018 with a 1.08 ERA. Greinke has a sparkling 1.80 ERA during 4 road starts this season.

The Astros are coming off a 6-5 loss at Oakland last night which halted a 6-game win streak. The Astros are also 3-0 in their last 3 following a loss. Houston has scored 5 runs or more in their last 4 and 9 of its previous 12 games. They’ve also banged out 10 hits or more in 5 of their last 6 games. Additionally, the Astros are averaging 8.0 runs scored per game in 5 played at Oakland in 2021. Bet on the Astros for a 5* money line wager.

Pirates (Cahill) @ Cardinals (Flaherty) 7:45 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Cardinals -1.5 (-105) (10*)

The Cardinals are 4-0 versus Pittsburgh this season and all those wins came by 3 runs or more. St. Louis will go with their ace Jack Flaherty on Wednesday and he’s been sensational thus far in 2021. Specifically speaking, Flaherty is 8-0 in his team starts with a stellar 2.47 ERA and 0.95 while all those wins came by 2 runs or more. Furthermore, the Cardinals hurler has made 3 starts at Busch Stadium this year while recording a dominating 0.95 ERA and 0.52 WHIP during those outings.  Flaherty is also 8-2 in his career team starts versus Pittsburgh with a 2.47 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. St. Louis is 11-1 in their last 12 as a money line favorite. The Pirates Trevor Cahill is 0-4 during his team starts at night this year with a terrible 9.33 ERA and 1.80 WHIP. Bet on the Cardinals as a 10* Top Play run-line wager.

Nationals (Scherzer) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 7:40 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

The only thing that prevented me from rating this pick higher is the weather forecast is call for winds of 13 MPH blowing out to leftfield. Nonetheless, with these two starting pitchers on the mound it will matter little. Washington’s Max Scherzer is coming off 3 terrific starts in which he registered a 0.84 ERA, 0.52 WHIP, and struck out 30 while walking just 2 during 21 1/3 innings pitched. Washington has played over the total in their previous 2 games. The Nationals have yet to go over in 3 consecutive games this season.

The Cubs Jake Arrieta has pitched 3-0 to the under at home in 2021 and with a 1.59 ERA while doing so. The Cubs bullpen has been impressive throughout their previous 7 games with a cumulative 1.73 ERA and amassing 36 strikeouts over 26.0 innings of work. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Rockies (Gonzalez) @ Padres (Musgrove) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 951-952

Play On: Padres -1.5 (-119) (5*)

The Rockies have dropped the first 2 games of this series which makes them an abysmal 2-16 on the road this season. As a matter of fact, 13 of their 16 road losses (81.3%) have come by 2 runs or more. The Rockies Chi Chi Gonzalez has made 4 road starts in 2021 with and had an awful 7.23 ERA during those appearances. Gonzalez has made 2 career starts at Petco Park and his massive 15.19 ERA during those outings certainly is alarming. The Rockies bullpen has a dismal 7.30 ERA and 1.66 WHIP throughout its previous 7 games.

The only team who has had Joe Musgrove’s number this season has been the San Francisco Giants. During his other 6 starts Musgrove  has collected a brilliant 1.59 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. The Padres bullpen has been superb at home season long with a combined 2.34 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 124 strikeouts in 104.0 innings. San Diego enters today winners of 5 straight and 8 of their last 9 games. Bet on the Padres for a 5* money line wager.

Colorado (Gray) @ San Diego (Darvish) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: San Diego -1.5 (+118) (10*)

Colorado is an abysmal 2-14 on the road this season and 12 of those 14 losses came by 2 runs or more. Furthermore, since 6/21/2019, Colorado has gone 26-64 on the road and 50 of those defeats were by 2 runs or greater. Colorado’s Jon Gray has made 2 road starts this season and had a lofty 6.30 ERA in those outings. The Rockies are coming off yesterday’s gut wrenching 7-6 home loss to Cincinnati in a game they led 6-1 after 7 innings. Once again the Rockies terrible bullpen imploded in that loss and they now have a massive 9.39 ERA with a 1.91 WHIP over their previous 7 games.

The Padres have won 5 straight at home versus Colorado and held them to a combined 9 runs scored while doing so. You Darvish has been remarkable during his last 6 starts with an exceptional 1.47 ERA and 0.81 WHIP during 43.0 innings pitched. The Padres have won 6 of their last 7 and averaged 7.0 runs scored per game during that stretch. The San Diego bullpen has been terrific all season and they’re averaging well over a strikeout per inning. Bet on San Diego for a 10* Top Play run line wager.

Reds (Hoffman) @ Rockies (Senzatela) 3:10 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Over 11.5 (5*)

Game at Coors Field are finally playing true to form recently in recent weeks and that’s high scoring affairs. Colorado has played 8-2-1 to the over in their previous 11 at home which includes 4-01 if the number was 10 or greater and there wwere a combined 16.7 runs scored per game. The Rockies Antonio Senzatela has exhibited bad form over his last 3 starts with a 6.75 ERA and 1.84 WHIP. The Reds Jeff Hoffman has pitched 6-0-1 to the over in 7 starts this season. Hoffman has been awful during his previous 3 starts which is evidenced by a large 8.71 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in those appearances while lasting only a combined 10 /13 innings. Cincinnati has played 5-1-1 to the over in their last 7 with a combined average of 12.6 runs scored per game. Both these bullpens have struggled for a better part of this season. The huge number in this sport is not enough to scare me off. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Rangers (Gibson) @ Astros (McCullers) 2:10 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Kyle Gibson has been terrific throughout his previous 7 starts for Texas while registering a brilliant 1.34 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over 47.0 innings pitched. Gibson will be making his debut versus division rival Houston this season. Nonetheless, in 2 starts versus the Astros a season ago Gibson pitched scoreless baseball during 15.0 innings of work.

Lance McCullers has displayed superb form over his last 3 starts while compiling a 1.87 ERA and 0.83 WHIP in 18.0 innings pitched. McCullers also made 2 starts versus Texas last season and failed to yield an earned run in 11.0 innings pitched. As a matter of fact, since the start of last season, McCullers has pitched 7-0 to the under at home when facing AL West Division teams. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Cubs (Hendricks) @ Tigers (Boyd) 1:10 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Tigers +128 (5*)

During recent seasons, Kyle Hendricks has been Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to home and away starts. He’s been solid at Wrigley Field and inconsistent when pitching elsewhere. Hendricks has recorded a poor 6.23 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 7 starts this season, and 6 of those took place at home. During his lone road start, Hendricks allowed 7 earned runs, 11 hits, and 3 homers in only 3 2/3 innings pitched at Atlanta. Furthermore, Hendricks has averaged only 4.9 innings pitcher per start in 2021. The total in today’s game is 8.0 and that’s noteworthy. The Cubs are 2-10 this season whenever there’s been a total of 8.0 or 8.5.

The Tigers Matt Boyd has been terrific in 7 starts this season while posting a 1.94 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Boyd is an extremely profitable 14-8 in his career team starts as a money line underdog of +125 to +175. The Tigers bullpen leaves much to be desired. However, Boyd has lasted 6.0 innings or more in 5 of his last 6 starts. Don’t look now, but the lowly Tigers are 5-1 in their last 6. Detroit has recently heated up offensively as well while averaging 6.6 runs scored per game over their previous 9 outings.

Any American League money line home underdog of +100 or greater (Tigers) with a starting pitcher (Boyd) who has a season ERA of 4.20 or better, and they’re facing a starting pitcher (Hendricks) who has lasted an average of 5.0 innings pitched per outing, resulted in those sizable home underdogs going 36-14 (72%) since 1997. The average money line in those games was +120.5 and bettors who risked $100 on each of them have made a net profit of $2970. Bet on the Tigers for a 5* wager.

St. Louis (Wainwright) @ San Diego (Paddack) 8:40 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: San Diego -129 (5*)

Adam Wainwright is 0-3 in his away team starts this season with a 5.40 ERA and large 2.14 WHIP. His WHIP in those outings clearly indicates to me that he’s very fortunate his ERA isn’t much worse. Padres pitcher Chris Paddack has displayed food form over his last 3 starts with a 2.70 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. The Padres bullpen has been terrific all season while compiling a 2.78 ERA and they’ve recorded and impressive 195 strikeouts in 171 1/3 innings pitched. Bet on San Diego for a 5* money line wager.

Royals (Minor) @ White Sox (Rodon) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 969-970

Play On: White Sox -1.5 (+115) (5*)

I hate siding with an overwhelming bet public side like the White Sox are an will be today. However, I am making an exception in this instance. The White Sox will be facing Kansas City lefthander Mike Minor today. Since the start of last season, the White Sox are an incredible 23-1 when facing southpaw starters and outscored those opponents by a decisive average margin of 4.2 runs per game. Kansas City is an atrocious 1-12 in their last 13 games. Furthermore, 9 of those 12 losses have come by 2 runs or more.

Speaking of lefthanded starting pitchers, Carlos Rodon will be on the mound for Chicago today. Rodon has been superb this season while going 5-0 with a microscopic 0.58 ERA while striking out 44 batters in 31.0 innings of work. The White Sox bullpen has a stellar 2.31 ERA throughout their previous 7 games. Chicago has averaged a healthy 7.0 runs scored per game during their previous 7 outings. The White Sox enter today having won 7 of its previous 8 games. Bet on the White for a 5* run line wager.

Oakland (Irvin) @ Minnesota (Berrios) 4:05 PM ET

Game# 963-964

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Cole Irvin has seen each of his previous 5 starts stay under the total and his 2.01 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in those appearances was a major reason why. The Oakland bullpen has been sensational throughout their past 7 games while recording a staff 0.39 ERA during that stretch. The A’s are currently a money line underdog of +116. Oakland has played 12-3 to the under since the start of last season when they’ve been a road money line underdog of +100 or greater. Oakland has also played 4-0-1 to the under in its last 5.

Minnesota has scored 3 runs or fewer in 7 of their last 9 games. Jose Berrios has a solid 3.49 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 7 starts this season. Since the start of the 2019 season, Berrios has made 3 starts against Oakland and recorded a 2.30 ERA in those outings. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Cubs (Arrieta) @ Tigers (Skubal) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Over 8.5 (5*)

The Tigers lefthander Tyler Skubal has seen all 5 of his starts this season go over the total, and his lofty 6.33 ERA in those outings was a major reason why. During his previous 4 starts, Skubal has surrendered an alarmingly high 9 home runs during only 16.0 innings pitched. Detroit’s bullpen has been consistently awful all since the start of the season which is evidenced by a 6.63 ERA and 1.74 WHIP as a staff. On a positive note, the Tigers have averaged 6.0 runs scored per game throughout their previous 8 outings.

The Cubs have faced 11 lefthanded starters this season and averaged a healthy 6.8 runs scored per game while doing so. Jake Arrieta has a sizable 7.54 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 3 road starts this season. That includes allowing 4 home runs allowed in just 14 1/3 innings pitched in those road appearances. The Cubs have gone under the total in each of their previous 2 games and that’s significant. Chicago has played 3-0 to the over during it last 3 following back-to-back unders, and there was a combined average of 14.3 runs scored per game. Play on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Cardinals (Flaherty) @ Brewers (Burnes) 1:40 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Brewers -129 (5*)

The Cardinals Jack Flaherty has been superb this year while going 7-0 in his team starts while posting a 2.83 ERA. However, this will be his first start versus Milwaukee in 2021. He made 2 starts against the Brewers last season and was awful in both outings by posting a massive 13.50 ERA and 2.25 WHIP over 8.0 innings pitched.

The Brewers Corbin Burnes has been sensational in 5 starts this season while recording a 1.53 ERA and 0.55 WHIP. Additionally, Burnes has amassed 49 strikeouts and has yet to yield a walk in 29 1/3 innings of work. Burnes faced St. Louis once in 2021, pitched 6.0 innings of scoreless baseball, allowed only 1 hit , and struck out 9 batters. Bet on the Brewers for a 5* money line wager.

Twins (Happ) @ White Sox (Keuchel) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: White Sox -135 (5*)

The Twins lefthander J.A. Happ has been terrific for Minnesota thus far in 2021. Nevertheless, since 2018, Happ has a terrible 8.79 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 3 starts versus the White Sox. Through the Twins last 7 games, their bullpen has been atrocious while recording an 8.17 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. Minnesota started the season 5-2. However, since that time they’ve gone 7-19.

At this point, it’s not purely coincidence when measuring the White Sox high degree of success when facing lefthanded starting pitchers. Since the start of last season, Chicago is a remarkable 22-1 when against southpaw starters. That includes 7-1 this season while also averaging 8.1 runs scored per game while doing so. Dallas Keuchel has shown sparkling form over his last 3 starts with a 1.89 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. The White Sox bullpen has a superb 2.28 ERA over the last 7 games. Chicago has won 4 straight and 14 of its last 19 games. They have also scored exactly 9 runs in each of their previous 3 and 4 of its last 6. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Cardinals (Gant) @ Brewers (Woodruff) 7:40 PM ET

Game# 907-908

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

On the surface, the Cardinals John Grant has registered an impressive 2.17 ERA in 7 starts. However, he also has an extremely high 1.71 WHIP during those outings. Those disproportionate number indicates Gant has wiggled out of a plethora jams thus far, and the probability of that continuing is low.

Brandon Woodruff has been sensational in 6 starts this season with a 1.19 ERA and 0.64 WHIP through 6 starts. This will be his first start of the season versus St. Louis. Nonetheless, he made 2 starts against the Cardinals last year had a stellar 1.80 ERA in 15.0 innings pitched. The Brewers bullpen has performed well over their previous 7 games while posting a 0.85 WHIP with 35 strikeouts in 27.0 innings of work. Bet on the Brewers for a 5* run line wager.

Phillies (Wheeler) @ Nationals (Lester) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Washington has seen 7 of their last 8 stay under the total and they scored 3 runs or fewer 7 times during that stretch. The Nationals are currently a money line underdog of +120 in this matchup. They have played 9-0 to the under this season when their money line was +100 to +150. The Nationals bullpen has been consistently good since the start of this 2021 MLB season. Jon Lester will make his 3rd start of the season and he was more than respectable during his first 2 while posting a 2.70 ERA in 10.0 innings pitched.

Righthander Zac Wheeler is Philadelphia’s scheduled starting pitcher. Wheeler has been in terrific form over his last 3 starts while recording a 1.87 ERA and 0.63 WHIP. He has pitched 7.0 innings or more in each of those start which includes a complete game 3-hit shutout at Milwaukee in his previous appearance. His ability to go deep in games is extremely important beyond the obvious reasons. It aids in the vulnerable Phillies bullpen from being exploited. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Orioles (Means) @ Mets (Stroman) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 975-976

Play On: Under 6.5 (5*)

I am not going to let this small total scare me away from playing the under. Baltimore’s John Means has been sensational this season above and beyond his recent no-hitter. As a matter of fact, all 5 starts on the road by Means have gone under and his terrific 0.78 ERA while averaging a shad under 7.0 pitched per out was a major reason why. The Orioles are coming off a short 4-game homestand. Baltimore played 7-0 to the under this season following 4 consecutive home games.

The Mets have played 10-1-2 to the under at home this season and there was only a combined average of 5.3 runs scored per game. It will be Marcus Stroman on the mound for New today and he’s pitched 4-1-1 to the under this season while recoding an impressive 2.12 ERA while doing so. The Mets bullpen has an extremely low 1.34 ERA throughout its previous 7 games. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Padres (Musgrove) @ Giants (Gausman) 4:05 PM ET

Play On: Giants +119 (5*)

The Padres Joe Musgrove's overall resume is quite impressive this season. However, he has struggled during his last 2 starts which included allowing 5 earned runs in 5.0 innings versus San Francisco. The Giants won the opening game of this series last night 5-4. That win made them an extremely profitable 11-3 at home this season. Additionally, the Giants are 9-2 in day games this season. Kevin Gausman is 2-0 in his team starts against San Diego this season with an outstanding 1.38 ERA in 13.0 innings pitched. Gausman has also displayed terrific form over his last 3 starts while posting a 0.90 ERA in 20 innings of work. Bet on the Giants for a 5* wager.

White Sox (Rodon) @ Royals (Keller) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 969-970

Play On: White Sox -1.5 (+108) (5*)

The Royals Brad Keller has an abysmal 12.46 ERA and 2.54 WHIP in 3 home starts this season. Additionally, Keller has lasted 4 1/3 innings or less in 4 of his 6 starts this year. That’s not good news for Royals backers considering the Kansas City bullpen has been horrible over their previous 7 games with a staff 9.57 ERA, 1.79 WHIP, and they’ve surrendered 10 home runs in just 26 1/3 innings. Kansas City enters today on a 5-game losing streak and has been outscored 37-17 during that stretch.

The White Sox Carlos Rodon has been dominant in his 4 starts this season while gathering a microscopic 0.72 ERA and striking out 36 batters in 25.0 innings pitched. The White Sox bullpen has a stellar staff 2.16 ERA and 0.90 WHIP throughout their last 7 games. Chicago is coming off a 1-0 loss at Cincinnati in their previous game.

Diamondbacks (Gallen) @ Mets (Peterson) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Zac Gallen is an underrated pitcher in my estimation and especially when facing a light hitting team like the Mets have been thus far in 2021. Gallen has a solid 3.48 ERA in 4 starts this season and that includes 2-0 on the road with a 2.13 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. Arizona is coming off yesterday’s 3-1 loss at Miami and that’s significant. Since the start of last season, Arizona has played 22-5 (81.5%) to the under after scoring 2 runs or fewer in their previous game.

The Mets have played 8-0-2 to the under at home this season. The Mets David Peterson has made 2 starts at home with a terrific 2.25 ERA and 0.67 WHIP through 12.0 innings pitched. The Mets bullpen has a brilliant 1.82 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 10 games at Citi Field. That includes recording 33 strikeouts and allowing 0 home runs over 24 2/3 innings of work.

Brewers (Suter) @ Marlins (Rogers) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 6.5 95*)

The Brewers Brent Suter is making his first start of the season. Yet, the total is now 6.5 after opening at 7.0. That certainly raised my antennas. Suter will be facing a Marlins team that has averaged only 3.9 runs scored per game this season. Since the start of the 2020 season, Milwaukee has played 11-1 to the under on the road versus National League teams who average 4.0 or fewer runs scored per game.

Miami’s Trevor Rogers has been superb in 6 starts this season with a 1.91 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. One of those starts came against Milwaukee and Rogers pitched 6.0 innings of scoreless baseball.

The Astros bullpen has been superb in the previous 11 while registering a 2.86 ERA and 1.18 WHIP.

The Yankees are currently a money line favorite of -200 for today’s game. New York has played 12-4 to the under this season as a money line favorite of -150 or greater. The Yankees ace Gerrit Cole gets the call for today and he’s been sensational in 6 starts this season with a 1.42 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, and struck out 62 while walking only 3 in 37 2/3 innings pitched. The Yankees bullpen has been terrific since the season began. They have been even more dominant over their previous 7 games while recording a 1.66 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, and struck out 30 batters in just 21 2/3 innings pitched.

Any MLB road team (Milwaukee) with a total of either 8.0 or 8.5 with a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.00 or less throughout his previous 3 starts, and they made 3 errors or more in their previous game, resulted in those games playing 56-18 (75.7%) to the under since 1997.

Irvin has been in terrific form over his previous 3 starts while posting a 1.56 ERA, striking out 20 batters, and walking just 2 over 17 1/3 innings pitched. Oakland’s bullpen has been lights out during their previous 7 games in recording a cumulative 1.57 ERA. The A’s will be facing a Toronto team with a poor .238 team batting average. Since the start of last season, Oakland has gone an extremely profitable 25-6 at home when facing American League opponents with a team batting average of .265 or worse.

John Means get the call for Baltimore on Friday and he has an excellent 1.50 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 5 starts this season.

That’s significant since Ross has pitched 14-2 to the under in his career as a road underdog of +100 or greater. Washington has seen 6 of its last 7 stay under the total.

Marcus Stroman is 3-0 in his team starts for the Mets this season with a sparling 0.90 ERA and 0.65 WHIP throughout 20.0 innings pitched. The Mets bullpen has an impressive 2.31 ERA in 5 home games in 2021.

This current Cubs roster has gone an eye-popping 15-23 (.652) during their careers when facing Lucchesi. At the time of this writing, the Cubs are a money line favorite of -112. Since last season, Lucchesi is 1-8 in his team starts as a road favorite of -110 or greater. The Mets bullpen has been shaky this season while recording a cumulative 5.45 ERA and that includes an even worse 7.04 on the road.

Milwaukee (Burnes) @ San Diego (Paddack) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Milwaukee +107 (5*)

The Brewers righthander has made 3 starts this year and recorded a microscopic 0.49 ERA, 0.22 WHIP, and struck out 30 batters in 18 1/3 innings pitched. That’s not good news for a Padres team which has gone 1-10 since 2019 when facing a National League starting pitcher with an ERA of 2.40 or better. Additionally, since the start of last season, Milwaukee has gone an extremely profitable 12-5 and a money line road underdog of +100 to +150. Bet on Milwaukee for a 5* money line wager.

Toronto enters today with a poor team on-base-percentage of .289. The Blue Jays are coming off 3-2 and 2-0 loss at Kansas City in their previous 2 games.
