Cubs (Arrieta) @ Brewers (Burnes) 1:40 PM ET

Game# 903-904

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

Jake Arrieta has made 2 starts for the Cubs this season and posted a sparkling 2.25 ERA while going exactly 6.0 innings on each occasion. Arrita can take comfort knowing his bullpen has been outstanding thus far in 2021. Despite yesterday’s 3-2 win at Milwaukee, the Cubs continue to struggle offensively. They have now scored 3 runs or fewer in 6 of their last 7 games.

Corbin Burnes has been magnificent in 2 starts this season. During those outings Burned recorded a microscopic 0.73 ERA and 0.16 WHIP while striking out 21 in 12 1/3 innings pitched. Dating back to last season, Milwaukee has played 28-13-1 to the under when the total was 7.0 to 8.5. Since 2019, the rivalry between these NL Central clubs have played 22-11-1 to the under. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Cincinnati (Castillo) @ San Francisco (Gausman) 9:45 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Cincinnati +101 (5*)

The Giants Kevin Gausman has been extremely sharp in his first 2 starts of the season. However, he’s 0-3 in his career against Cincinnati with a massive 12.79 ERA and 2.45 WHIP. The Giants have gone 5-3 in their previous 8 games. Nevertheless, they scored 4 runs or fewer on each occasion and were shutout twice.

Reds starter Luis Castillo was shaky in his 2021 debut. The good news is he roared back like a lions in his last start while pitching 7.0 innings of scoreless baseball with just 4 hits allowed and walking only 1. Cincinnati has started the season 7-3 while averaging 6.9 runs per game and belting 18 home runs as well. Furthermore, dating back to last season, Cincinnati is 17-5 in their last 22 games when facing a righthanded starting pitcher like they will be going up against tonight. Bet on Cincinnati for a 5* money line wager.

Oakland @ Arizona 3:40 PM ET

Game# 979-980

Play On: Arizona +100 (5*)

Oakland starter Jesus Luzardo has made 4 career road starts and has a terrible 8.05 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in those outings. Luzardo has made 2 starts in 2021 and posted a lofty 6.02 ERA. He also allowed 8 home runs in just 19.0 innings pitched. He doesn’t figure to get much help from an Oakland bullpen that has a combined 6.02 WHIP and 1.57 WHIP thus far in 2021.

Arizona looks to bounce back from a 9-5 loss to Oakland on Monday. They certainly have the right pitcher to do so with Zac Gallen slated to start. Gallen has gone 9-2 in his last 11 home team starts and that includes 4-0 if he’s facing a team off a win. Gallen has made 1 career start versus Oakland and it came last year when he allowed just 1 earned run on 3 hits while striking out 8 in 7.0 innings of work. Bet on Arizona for a 5* money line wager.

Oakland @ Arizona 9:40 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Oakland -123 (5*)

There was a time that MLB experts considered Madison Bumgarner as the top clutch starting pitcher in baseball. However, in recent seasons father time has caught up with the veteran lefthander. During his first 2 starts of 2021 he has been awful while posting a 11.00 ERA and 2.22 WHIP. Bumgarner has also struggled early in the season during recent seasons. Specifically speaking, since the 2017 MLB season began, Bumgarner is 1-15 in his team starts during games 1 through 30 on the schedule. That also includes 0-11 on the road.

Oakland’s Chris Bassitt has gone an extremely profitable 15-3 in his last 18 starts as a money line favorite of -110 or greater and includes 6-0 in away games. Since the 2019 season, Oakland is 46-17 when facing left-handed starting pitchers including 16-5 as a money line road favorite. Bet on Oakland for a 5* money line wager.

Rockies (Marquez) @ Giants (DeSclafani) 4:05 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Giants -124 (10*)

This current Giants roster has career numbers of 42-117 (.359) against Rockies starter German Marquez. He doesn’t figure to get much assistance from a Colorado bullpen which has combined for a lofty 5.80 ERA and 1.74 WHIP throughout their first 9 games of this 2021 season. Since winning their season opener, Colorado has gone a dismal 2-6.

The Giants have won the first 2 games of this series. Since the start of last season, San Francisco has gone an extremely profitable 22-9 versus teams with a losing record. The Giants have witnessed each of their previous 6 games going under the total. Since last season, San Francisco is 8-1 following 3 consecutive game staying under which includes 3-0 this year. Bet on the Giants for a 10* Top Play money line wager.

Brewers (Anderson) @ Cardinals (Ponce De Leon) 2:15 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Cardinals -124 (5*)

The current Cardinals roster has career numbers of 20-61 (.328) versus Milwaukee starter Brett Anderson. The Milwaukee southpaw hurler is also just 25-44 in his career team starts when there was a money line of -125 to +125. Dating back to last season, Milwaukee is 0-5 in their last 5 as a money line underdog +105 or greater and they scored a grand total of 7 runs in those losses.

The current Brewers roster has gone 3-36 (.083) with 15 strikeouts over 40 career plate appearances against Cardinals starter Daniel Ponce De Leon. The Cardinals will look to avoid being swept by Milwaukee after having lost the first 2 games of this series. Since 7/30/2019, St. Louis has gone a profitable 6-2 at home following back-to-back home losses. Bet on the Cardinals as a 5* money line wager.

Royals (Minor) @ White Sox (Cease) 2:10 PM ET

Game# 975-976

Play On: White Sox -123 (5*)

Kansas City will go with lefthander Mike Minor as their starting pitcher. Minor wasn’t sharp in his 2021 debut against Texas while allowing 4 earned runs in 6.0 innings of work.

Since last season began, the White Sox are a remarkable 18-0 when facing lefthanded starting pitchers. During that identical time frame, the White Sox have gone 6-0 in their last 6 and 10-1 during their previous 12 games against Kansas City. White Sox starter Dylan Cease made 3 starts versus the Royals last season and posted a more than respectable 3.24 ERA. The current roster of Royals hitter have gone a poor 10-46 (.217) in their careers when facing Dylan Cease. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Cubs (Williams) @ Pirates (Brubaker) 1:05 PM ET

Game# 951-952

Play On: Pirates +128 (5*)

The Cubs have been anemic offensively to start the season and if it wasn’t for their 10 home runs hit in 8 games it would be even worse than that. The Cubs have an atrocious team batting average of .168 and that includes .117 in 5 games versus righthanded starting pitchers.

The Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker has been outstanding in his young career when facing the Cubs. Specifically speaking, this current roaster of Cubs hitters are 5-40 (.125) with a pathetic .336 OPS when facing Brubaker. Despite the disparities in these teams win/loss records since 2019, the Pirates have gone 12-7 at home versus the Cubs which includes Saturday’s 8-2 rout of their division rivals. Bet on the Pirates for a 5* money line wager.

Philadelphia (Morton) @ Atlanta (Wheeler) 7:20 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Since the start of last season, Phillies starter Zach Wheeler has been terrific in 3 starts against Atlanta while compiling 1.37 ERA and 0.66 WHIP. The Phillies bullpen appears to be much improved from last season. Through their first 5 games, Phillies relievers have a cumulative 3.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and surrendered just 1 home runs in 22.0 innings pitched.

Since the beginning of the 2017 season, Charlie Morton has recorded a more than respectable 3.18 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 3 starts versus Philadelphia. The Braves bullpen has been solid to start the season evidenced by their staff ERA of 2.97 while failing to yield a home run in 25 2/3 innings of work. The Braves have struggled offensively in their 5 games played this season. Throughout that span, Atlanta has averaged a mere 2.8 runs scored per game. The Braves are hitting .171 as a team and with a terrible .548 OPS.

These teams opened the season against each another and all 3 games went under the total. There was only a combined average of 4.0 runs scored per game. The weather forecast call for winds of 8 to 10 MPH blowing in from right-centerfield. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Brewers (Woodruff) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 2:20 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

The recent series between these NL Central rivals has seen a plethora of low scoring games. Since 2019, when these teams have met, they have played 20-10 to the under and that includes 13-4 at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have amassed just 18 hits through their first 5 games and recorded a pathetic .132 team batting average. This current Cubs roster has just a career .189 team batting average when facing Brandon Woodruff and they struck out an alarmingly high 27 time in only 74 at bats.

Milwaukee has a terrible team batting average of .161 and an extremely low .473 OPS thus far in 2021. The Brewers have faced Kyle Hendricks 4 times at Wrigley Field since 2018 and haven’t fared well. Hendricks posted a brilliant 2.00 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in those starts which encompassed 27.0 innings pitched. Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff has witnessed his last 3 starts against the Cubs going under while compiling an excellent 2.76 ERA and 0.73 WHIP while doing so. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Baltimore (Kremer) @ NY Yankees (Cole) 6:35 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

The Yankees have played 4-0 to the under thus far in 2021. Those 4 had an average total of 9.0 and there was just a combined 6.0 runs scored per game. The Yankees will send their ace Gerrit Cole to the mound. Cole has made 5 career starts against Baltimore with all coming since 2018. During those appearances Cole posted a dominating 1.65 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and recked up 44 strikeouts in 32 2/3 innings of work. The Yankees bullpen has been lights out by recording a superb 0.48 ERA and is averaging better than a strikeout per innings pitched. The Bronx Bombers haven’t lived up to their nickname when considering their poor .220 team batting average and uninspiring .660 OPS.

Baltimore has played 3-1 to the under this season. The Orioles will go with righthander Dean Kremer as their starting pitcher. Kremer made 2 starts against New York in 2020 and compiled an excellent 1.64 ERA during 11.0 innings pitched. The Baltimore bullpen has been solid to start the season which is evidenced by their staff ERA of 2.13. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

White Sox (Rodon) @ Seattle (Sheffield) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 975-976

Play On: White Sox -116 (5*)

Seattle took 2 of 3 from San Francisco to begin their 2021 campaign. However, they only compiled .202 team batting average and .696 OPS in that 3-game series.

The White Sox will be in a sour mood tonight after losing 3 of 4 against the Angels. The good news in they’ll be facing lefty Justus Sheffield tonight. Since the start of last season, the White Sox are an unbeaten 16-0 when facing lefthanded starting pitchers. The White Sox will go with a lefthander of their own on Monday with Hector Rodon getting the start. Rodon is 3-0 in his career team starts versus Seattle while posting an exceptional 1.89 ERA while doing so. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

LA Dodgers (May) @ Oakland (Montas) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 977-978

Play On: LA Dodgers -1.5 (+104) (5*)

Oakland goes with righthander Frankie Montas in the opening game of this series. Montas made one start versus the Dodgers last season and was highly ineffective while allowing 5 earned runs in just 4.0 innings of work. Oakland’s confidence level can’t be too high right now after being swept in a 4-game series at home by Houston, and they were outscored by an alarming 35-9. After losing their season opener at Coors Field in Denver, the Dodgers rebounded to win the next 3 over Colorado and averaged 7.0 runs scored per game. Bet on the Dodgers on the run-line for a 5* wager.

Houston (Garcia) @ LA Angels (Quintana) 9:38 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: Houston +109 (5*)

Since the start of last season, the Angels are 2-1 when their money line is -100 to -150. Houston is coming off a 4-game seep at Oakland and scored 8 runs or more in each of those outings. Since the start of the 2017 season, the Astros are an extremely profitable 19-4 on the road after scored 7 runs or more in each of their previous 3 games. Additionally, Houston will be facing lefthander Jose Quintana tonight. Since the start of the 2017 season, the Astros have gone 50-22 in away games when facing a lefthanded starting pitcher. Bet on Houston for a 5* money line wager.

White Sox (Lynn) @ LA Angels (Cobb) 9:07 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: White Sox -121 (5*)

Alex Cobb has gone a dismal 2-12 in his last 14 starts as a home underdog. Cobb has made 3 career starts against the White Sox and had an awful 13.88 ERA in those appearances.

Lance Lynn has made 6 starts against the Angels since 2019 and recorded a solid 3.03 ERA in those outings. Since 8/25/2018, the White Sox are 28-8 as a road favorite, and that includes 6-0 if they were coming off an away win while they were -140 or less. They won those 6 by a substantial average of 4.8 runs per game. Additionally, the White Sox have gone an extremely profitable 39-19 in their previous 58 games as a favorite of -140 or less. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Arizona (Smith) @ San Diego (Musgrove) 8:40 PM ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Caleb Smith has made 4 career starts against San Diego and compiled a sparkling 2.08 ERA during those outings. The Diamondbacks lost 4-2 last night at San Diego. Since the start of last season, Arizona has played 8-0 to the under on the road versus righthanded starters and following a game in which they scored 2 runs or less.

Joe Musgrove hasn’t faced Arizona since 2019 when he made 2 starts versus the Diamondbacks. During those pair of outings, Musgrove posted a terrific 2.08 ERA and 0.77 WHIP during 13.0 innings pitched. Since last season, San Diego has played 9-1 to the under in their last 10 games when coming off a win and there was a total of 8.5 or 9.0. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Atlanta (Morton) @ Philadelphia (Wheeler) 4:05 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Atlanta -106 (5*)

Atlanta is coming off a 3-2 opening day loss at Philadelphia on Thursday. Since the start of the 2018 season, the Braves have gone a terrific 14-1 in away games following a 1-run loss and includes 10-0 during their previous 10 when placed in that exact situation.

The current Phillies roster has a poor .634 OPS in 120 career plate appearances against Charlie Morton. Conversely, the present Braves roster has a .287 batting average and impressive .882 OPS in 164 career plate appearances when facing Zack Wheeler. Bet on the Braves for a 5* money line wager.

Diamondbacks (Kelly) @ Padres (Kelly) 10:05 ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Under 8.0 (10*)

I cashed in with the over in the 1st game of this season last night. However, I am going the opposite way tonight and for good reason. Arizona starter Merrill Kelly has gone 4-0 in his last 4 starts against San Diego and posted a brilliant 0.34 ERA while doing so. He lasted 6.0 plus inning in each of those 4 outings. His counterpart tonight is a quality lefthanded starter in Blake Snell who will be making his Padres debut. Since the start of last season, Arizona has gone 1-7 on the road versus southpaw starters while averaging only 3.2 runs scored and 6.1 hits per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

White Sox (Keuchel) @ Angels (Heaney) 9:38 PM ET

Game# 921-922

Play On: White Sox +110 (5*)

For starters, since the start of last season, the White Sox have gone 15-0 versus lefthanded starting pitchers and won 13 of those games by 2 runs or more. Tonight’s White Sox starter Dallas Keuchel is 10-1 in his last 11 team starts versus the Angels and posted an excellent 2.25 ERA while doing so. Since the start of last season, the Angels are an abysmal 1-11 when their money line is -100 to -150. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Arizona (Bumgarner) @ San Diego (Darvish) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 965-966

Play On: Over 8.5 (5*)

Yu Darvish had a terrific campaign in 2020 for the Cubs. However, this current Arizona roster has enjoyed moderate success against Darvish with a combined .296 batting average and lofty .904 OPS. Arizona starter Madison Bumgarner is on the downside of his career and isn’t the dominant pitcher he once was with the Giants. The veteran southpaw made 2 starts versus the Padres last season with both taking place in San Diego and posted a massive 10.56 ERA while surrendering 4 home runs in 7 2/3 inning pitched. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Rays (Snell) vs. Dodgers (Gonsolin 8;08 PM ET

Play On: Rays +121 (108)

The Rays sense of urgency will be at peak capacity tonight as they face elimination. They are 2-0 this postseason when facing elimination with wins over the Yankees and Astros. Tampa is coming off a 4-2 loss in Game 5. The good news is they are a perfect 7-0 in their last 7 games this season as a money line underdog of +100 or greater following a loss. The rays will have an excellent opportunity to jump out to a lead tonight against Tony Gonsolin who has struggled in 2 postseason starts. The Rays Blake Snell is a former American League Cy Young winner and I look for a strong 5.0 innings out of him. Bet on the Rays as a 10* Top Play money line underdog.

Dodgers (Buehler) @ Rays (Morton) 8:08 PM ET

Game# 955-956

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

The first 2 games of this World Series have easily gone over the total. I believe we are going to witness a lower scoring affair tonight. The Rays pitcher Charlie Moron has made 5 postseason starts since 2019 and posted an excellent 0.70 ERA in those outings. Additionally, Morton made 2 starts in the 2018 World Series against the Dodgers while with Houston. He pitched 10/1/3 innings during those appearances while compiling an outstanding 1.74 ERA and 0.58 WHIP. The Dodgers Walker Buehler has already made 10 postseason starts in his young career with all coming since 2018 and with Los Angeles. Both bullpens are much better than what they have displayed during the first 2 games of this series. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Rays (Snell) @ Dodgers (Gonsolin)

Game# 953-954

Play On: Rays +124 (5*)

The Dodgers Tony Gonsolin struggled mightily in his only 2020 postseason start while allowing 5 earned runs in just 4 1/3 innings versus Atlanta. The Rays Blake Snell has a more than respectable 3.20 ERA over 4 postseason starts thus far. I am looking for a Snell to turn in a minimum 5.0 innings of solid work, the Rays to have the lead upon his exit, and the excellent back half of their bullpen to shut down the powerful Dodgers batting order to close out a win. Do not count Tampa Bay out just yet and especially so tonight. Bet on the Rays for a 5* money line wager.

Rays (Kershaw) vs. Dodgers (Kershaw) 8:11 PM ET

Game# 951-952

Play On: Under 7.5 (5*)

Clayton Kershaw gets the start tonight and his statistical performance line has been outstanding in 2020. During 13 starts, Kershaw has allowed just 4.4 hits and 0.77 walks per outing. Since 2019, Tampa Bay is 23-11 (67.6%) to the under when facing a starting pitcher who allows 1.75 or fewer walks per outing. The Rays are also 21-10 to the under this season when facing a starting pitcher who allowed 5.5 hits or less per outing. Furthermore, the Rays are 8-1 to the under in their previous 9 and averaged a mere 5.6 hits per game. Considering they are in the World Series, speaks to how good their pitching has been during this offseason.

The Dodgers have allowed 3 runs or less in each of their previous 3 games. Since 2019, the Dodgers are 46-25 to the under after allowing 3 runs or fewer in 2 straight games.

This World Series will be played at the new ballpark in Arlington, Texas. As opposed to the old Texas Rangers home, this new venue has proven to be pitcher-friendly. Both of these teams bullpens have been excellent in 2020 and for the better part of this postseason. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Rays (Glasnow) vs. Astros (Greinke) 8:40 PM ET

Game# 971-972

Play On: Rays -137 (5*)

The Rays are 11-0 in their last 11 games this season when Tyler Glasnow has been their starting pitcher. The Rays bullpen has inherited 20 men on base during the first 3 games of this series and not one of them scored. The Astros have scored a combined 5 runs during the first 3 games and left an alarmingly high 31 men on base. At this point it is in the head of Astros hitters regarding their failures to produce runs when they have men in scoring position. Houston pitcher Zack Grienke has an awful 6.17 ERA over his last 6 starts. Greinke made 2 starts against the Rays last season and allowed 11 earned runs in just 9 1/3 innings pitched while also surrendering 5 home runs. Bet on the Rays for a 5* money line wager.

Rays (Yarbrough) vs. Astros (Urquidy) 8:40 PM ET

Game# 967-968

Play On: Over 8.5 (10*)

The Astros have scored just a combined 3 runs during the first 2 games of this series. However, it is not like they were not creating scoring opportunities. Houston had an alarmingly high 20 men left on base in those first 2 games. There are too many quality hitters with substantial postseason experience in the Houston lineup for that trend to continue. Jose Urquidy was prone to give up the long ball in his only other start this postseason which came against Oakland. During that outing, Urquidy allowed 4 home runs in just 4.0 innings pitched. The rays have cracked 17 home runs in 9 postseason games while Houston went yard 15 times during these 2020 playoffs. Bet this game to go over the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Braves (Fried) @ Dodgers (Buehler) 8:08 PM ET

Game# 965-966

Play On: Under 8.0 (10*)

If the Braves have any realistic hope in winning this series, it is paramount they win with their ace Max Fried on the mound. Atlanta has gone a terrific 12-1 with Fried as their starter. Having said that, I am counting on Fried coming up with a quality start tonight more than relying on Atlanta winning. Furthermore, Atlanta is a perfect 5-0 this postseason and post shutouts in 4 of those victories. The Braves bullpen has collected a microscopic 0.44 ERA in 20 1/3 innings of work this postseason and is averaging better than 1 strikeout per inning. On a negative note, Atlanta has a poor .294 team OBP during this postseason.

The Dodgers will counter with their young right-hander Walker Buehler. The Dodgers hurler has seen each of his previous 3 starts go under the total while compiling a stellar 2.2 ERA. The Dodgers bullpen is arguably the best in baseball, and they have a combined 1.65 ERA this postseason. The powerful Dodger lineup has hit just 2 home runs in 5 postseason games and that comes after averaging 1.97 home runs per outing during regular season action. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Oakland vs. Houston 3:35 PM ET

Game# 915-916

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

The current Oakland active roster has gone a dismal 3-26 (.115 BA) lifetime against Houston starter Jose Urquidy. Conversely, the current Houston roster is an uninspiring 9-43 (.209 BA) lifetime versus Jesus Lazardo. Urquidy has seen all 3 of his game starts go under and his stellar 2.76 ERA had much to do with those low scoring affairs. Houston has allowed just a combined 9 runs in 4 postseason game and 3 of the 4 have stayed under. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Marlins (Lopez) @ Braves (Anderson) 2:08 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

There will be 2 outstanding young right-handed starting pitchers going at it today. The Braves Ian Anderson has a brilliant 1.64 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 7 starts this season. Additionally, just 1 of those 7 games went over the total. Anderson has faced the Marlins twice in 2020 and allowed just 1 earned run in 8 2/3 innings pitched.

The Marlins Pablo Lopez enters today in excellent form over his last 3 starts with a 1.56 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. One of those outings saw Lopez pitch 5.0 scoreless innings against Atlanta. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Yankees (Cole) @ Rays (Snell) 8:07 PM ET

Game#901-902

Play On: Under 7.0 (5*)

Both starting pitchers in this game have been in excellent form. During his last 4 starts Gerrit Cole has a brilliant 1.29 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, and struck out 37 batters in 28.0 innings pitched. The Yankees bullpen has been shaky of late but Cole always seems to eat up a lot of innings while being dominant at the same time. Cole has been magnificent in 8 postseason starts since 2018 with a 2.22 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and he fanned 77 batters in 56 2/3 innings of work.

The Rays lefty Blake Snell has a stellar 1.63 ERA over his last 4 starts. He will be facing a Yankees team which has a dismal .215 team batting average in 15 games versus lefty starters this season. The Rays bullpen has been outstanding in 2020. Bet on under the total for a 5* wager.

Cardinals @ Padres 10:08 PM ET

Game# 977-978

Play On: Padres -115 (5*)

The Padres overcame a pair of 4-run deficits to win last night in a game they were facing elimination. That bodes well in terms of confidence for a young team like San Diego that possesses little if any postseason experience. Jack Flahery gets the start for St. Louis and he has been inconsistent this season compared to last. The Cardinals were able to score 9 runs yesterday in a losing effort. However, since the start of last season they have gone a dismal 11-20 following a game in which they scored 9 runs or more. The Padres have gone a profitable 21-11 at home this season and that includes 16-6 during its previous 23 at Petco Park. Bet on the Padres for a 5* money line wager.

Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Padres (Davies) 7:08 PM ET

Game# 967-968

Play On: Under 9.0 (5*)

Adam Wainwright is a perfect 5-0 in his team starts during day games this season while posting a brilliant 2.16 ERA, 0,81 WHIP, and he averaged 6.7 innings pitched. The Cardinals bullpen has been terrific over the past week with a 2.66 ERA as a staff and they struck out 34 batters in just 20 1/3 innings pitched.

Kyle Davies has seen his last 5 starts go under the total and recorded a stellar 2.89 ERA during those outings. The Padres have a miserable .210 team batting average over their past 7 games and at times relies too much on the long ball. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

White Sox (Keuchel) @ Athletics (Bassitt) 3:10 PM ET

Game# 945-946

Play On: Under 7.5 (10*)

The current White Sox active roster is 9-59 (.186 BA) against the Oakland starting pitcher Chris Bassitt. Speaking of Bassitt, he has been brilliant over his previous 4 starts while recording a microscopic 0.34 ERA in 26 2/3 innings pitched. Additionally, Bassitt has compiled a superb 0.72 ERA in 6 home starts this season and each of those games went under the total, Oakland has gone 19-10-2 to the under at home this season.

The White Sox will go with veteran Dallas Keuchel on the mound today. Keuchel has an exceptional 0.45 ERA during his last 4 starts. During 7 road starts this season, Keuchel has collected a terrific 1.60 ERA and 5 of those games went under.  Bet on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play wager.

Yankees (Cole) @ Indians (Bieber) 7:00 PM ET

Game# 931-932

Play On: Yankees -103 (5*)

The Indians Shane Bieber is enjoying a terrific season which barring something unforeseen should culminate with an American League CY Young Award. However, Bieber has made 2 career starts against the Yankees in his career with one coming in 2018 and the other last year. During those 2 outings, Bieber recorded an awful 8.30 ERA and 1.62 WHIP. The Indians will be facing a starting pitcher today in Gerrit Cole who has a shiny 2.84 ERA in 10 starts this season. Since 2018, Cleveland is a dismal 9-24 when facing American League starting pitchers with an ERA of 2.90 or better for the season.

If the Yankees hope to win this best-of-3 series, it is imperative they come away victorious tonight with their ace Gerrit Cole on the mound. Cole was brilliant in 5 postseason starts with Houston in 2019 with an exceptional 1.72 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts in 36 2/3 innings pitched. As a matter of fact, he went 7.0 innings or more during each of those 2019 postseason starts. Cole was also excellent in his last 4 regular season starts with a 1.00 ERA and 0.70 WHIP.

Kyle Freeland has mastered the art of pitching at Coors Field like few others before him have been able to do.

Cubs (Hendricks) @ Reds (Mahle) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Reds +121 (5*)

Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks has been excellent at Wrigley Field since last season began. However, it’s been a much different story on the road during that identical span of time. During his 2 road starts this season Hendricks has recorded a lofty 6.10 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. This will be his first start at Cincinnati in 2020. During 2 road starts versus the Reds last season Hendricks had a mammoth 16.71 ERA and allowed 4 home runs in 7.0 innings pitched. That is alarming news since the Reds have cracked 27 home runs in just 12 home games this season. Hendricks does not figure to get much support from a Cubs bullpen which has registered a sizable 6.75 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over their previous 7 games. The Cubs are coming off a 7-6 loss to Detroit in their last outing. Chicago is 10-21 since the start of last season immediately following a 1-run loss.

Tyler Mahle made 3 home starts versus the Cubs since 2018 and posted a more than respectable 3.38 ERA during those outing. The previously much maligned Reds bullpen has been outstanding of late while collecting a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP throughout its last 7 games.

The Reds are coming off a huge doubleheader sweep at Milwaukee yesterday in which they outscored the Brewers 12-1. Any MLB home team which is coming off a doubleheader sweep the day before has gone 21-6 (77%) since 2016. Bet on the Reds for a 5* money line underdog wager.

Colorado (Gray) @ Arizona (Ray) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Arizona -129 (5*)

I very seldom back a cold team like Arizona is right now. However, there is an exception to every rule, and this is one of them. I have an outstanding MLB money line betting angle on this game which should not be ignored.

Arizona enters today with a lofty bullpen ERA of 4.99 this season. Colorado starting pitcher Jon Gray has a terrible 7.01 ERA over his last 5 starts. The Rockies are averaging 5.0 runs scored per game this season.

Any home team (Arizona) with a money line of -135 to +115 with a bullpen ERA of 4.50 or greater, versus a National League opponent (Colorado) which is averaging 5.0 runs or more scored per game, and their starting pitcher (Gray) has an ERA of 7.00 or more throughout his previous 5 starts, resulted in those home teams going 50-12 (80.6%) since 1997.

Colorado (Marquez) @ Arizona (Young) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 977-978

Alex Young will make his first start of the season against Colorado. However, last year he was 2-0 against the Rockies with a 2.25 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. He went 6.0 innings in each of those wins. Arizona has gone under the total in each of their previous 6 games and scored 2 runs or fewer on every occasion. As a matter of fact, the Diamondbacks have scored 2 runs or less in 13 of 30 games (43.3%) this season. The Diamondbacks bullpen has been shaky in away game but solid at home.

Colorado pitcher German Marquez has been superb in 3 road starts this year while recording a 1.93 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. The Colorado bullpen has an excellent 2.14 ERA during 14 road games. The Rockies have seen only 3 of 14 road games go over.

Rob Drake is slated to be the home plate umpire. Since 2018, Drake has seen 35 of 50 games (705) go under the total when he was calling balls and strikes which includes 6-0 under this year (5.5 RPG avg.). Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Royals @ Cardinals 8:15 PM ET

Game# 911-912

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Royals pitchers Brad Keller has yet to give up an earned run this season in 17 2/3 innings pitched. This current Cardinals roster has gone a terrible 3-36 (.083 BA) against Keller in their careers. Kansas City is 9-0-1 under the total in their previous 10 games.

Jack Flaherty has been solid in 2 starts this season while posting a 3.11 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. This current Royals roster is 6-36 (.167) in their career at bats when facing Flaherty. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

LA Angels (Bundy) @ Oakland (Montas) 4:10 ET

Game# 969-970

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

One of the few bright sports for the Angels this season has been the pitching of Dylan Bundy. The right-hander has made 5 starts in 2020 and posted an excellent 2.48 ERA and 0.80 WHIP. Bundy has seen both of his road starts go under while his 1.15 ERA and 0.45 WHIP in those affairs was a key contributing factor to those low scoring affairs. As a matter of fact, Bundy has made 2 starts against Oakland this year and recorded a 0.66 ERA in 13 2/3 innings pitched. Bundy will be facing an Oakland team which is 19-9 (.679) and since 2018 he has gone 14-3 under in 17 starts versus opponents with a win percentage of .620 or better.

Frankie Montas is coming off a miserable start at Arizona in his previous outing. However, Montas has an excellent 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in his 3 starts at home this season. The Oakland bullpen has a magnificent 1.35 ERA at home this season and has converted on 8 of 9 save opportunities. Since the start of last season, Oakland is 22-11 under at home when there is a total of 8.0 or 8.5. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Astros @ Padres 9:10 PM ET

Game# 923-924

Play On: Padres -129 (5*)

Houston has gone 38-107 at the plate over their previous 3 games which is good for a sparkling .355 team batting average. The Astros enter today averaging 5.3 runs scored per game this season. The Padres bullpen has struggled this season while compiling a 5.69 ERA. The combination of these statistical facts and the current money line qualifies for an excellent MLB betting system displayed below.

Any MLB money line home favorite of -110 or more that possesses a bullpen ERA of 5.00 or worse, versus an American League opponent averaging 5.1 or more runs scored per game, and that AL opponent has a team batting average of .33 or better throughout their previous 3 games, resulted in those money line home favorites going 50-12 (80.6%) since 1997.

In addition to the money line betting angle backing the Padres there is more compelling data. Padres pitcher Zach davies enters today in superb form over his last 3 starts while collecting a 2.55 ERA and 0.79 WHIP during those outings. The Padres are currently riding a 5-game win streak and are also a profitable 9-4 at Petco Park this season. Throughout their previous 7 games, San Diego is averaging a robust 6.9 runs scored per outing while connecting for 14 homers. As a matter of fact, the Padres have hit 48 homers this season which includes 27 in just 13 home games. Bet on the Padres for a 5* money line wager.

Colorado (Freeland) @ LA Dodgers (May) 9:10 PM ET

Game# 927-928

Play On: Under 8.5 (10*)

The Colorado Rockies have gone 8-2-1 under the total in road games this season. A major reason for those low scoring affairs on the road. A major contributor to those low scoring away games has been the Rockies bullpen who have collectively compiled an excellent 1.05 ERA while allowing no homers in 34 1/3 innings pitched. Furthermore, Colorado will send southpaw Kyle Freeland to the mound this evening and he has been brilliant this season. Freeland has seen 4 of his 5 starts go under the total in 2020 while posting a 2.56 ERA and has averaged 6.3 innings pitched per start. Since 2018, Freeland has made 3 starts at Dodger Stadium and had a solid 3.00 ERA while all 3 went under the total. Freeland will be facing a Dodgers team with a terrific 20-8 (.714) record. Freeland has seen 12 of 13 career starts go under when facing a team with a win percentage of .620 or better. Colorado has scored 1 run in each of their previous 3 road games.

Dustin May of the Dodgers has a more than respectable 3.00 ERA in 3 starts this season. The Dodgers bullpen has a sensational 1.45 ERA and 0.86 WHIP at home this year. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play.

However, Lester will be facing a White Sox team which has gone a perfect 6-0 versus left-handed starting pitchers while averaging a robust 6.8 runs per game in addition to smacking 14 home runs. The White sox enter today riding a 5-game win streak and they have gone an impressive 8-3 in away games this season. Dallas Keuchel will get the start for the White Sox tonight and he’s displayed superb form over his last 3 starts. The White Sox bullpen has a shiny 2.62 ERA through their last 7 games. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Game# 961-962

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

This game has 2 red-hot starting pitchers ready to lock horns. The Phillies Aaron Nola has an excellent 0.86 ERA and 0.53 WHIP over his last 3 starts while striking out 30 batters in 21.0 innings pitched.

Tigers (Fulmer) @ Indians (Plutko) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Cleveland has defeated Detroit 20 straight times and 18 of those came by 2 or more runs. The Indians have won 6 games in a row and all have come by 2 runs or greater. The Tigers are 0-9 in their last 9 games while all those defeats came by 2 runs or more. Detroit pitcher Michael Fulmer has a terrible 7.55 ERA, 2.03 WHIP, and allowed 5 home runs in just 8 1/3 innings pitched. Fulmer has yet to make it past the 3rd inning in any of those 3 outings. That’s an issue considering Detroit’s bullpen has a collective 6.25 ERA over its last 4 7 games and they have allowed an alarmingly high 10 home runs in 36.0 innings pitched. Fulmer has an awful 6.87 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in 9 career starts against Cleveland.

Adam Plutko is 6-0 in his career team starts against Detroit. Plutko is also 13-1 in his team starts since last season as a money line favorite of =110 or greater and Cleveland outscored those 14 opponents by a sizable 3.9 runs per game.

Cincinnati (Gray) @ St. Louis (Wainwright 8:15 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Cincinnati -139 (5*)

Sonny Gray has been brilliant in 5 starts this season while posting a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and striking out 45 batters in 30 2/3 innings pitched. The Reds bullpen has been much improved over their last 7 games while recording a solid 1.12 WHIP and amassing 34 strikeouts in 26.0 innings of work.

Adam Wainwright has looked great in his first 2 starts this season. However, Wainwright has struggled in recent years when facing Cincinnati. As a matter of fact, he made 5 starts against the Reds since 2017 has compiled a terrible 9.53 ERA and 1.81 WHIP. The Cardinals bullpen has been a bit shaky in recent games. Bet on Cincinnati as a 5* money line wager.

Oakland (Montas) @ Arizona (Weaver) 6:10 PM ET

Game# 907-908

Play On: Oakland -1.5 (+106)

This is a starting pitching mismatch. Oakland pitcher Frankie Montas has a brilliant 1.57 ERA in 4 starts this season. Conversely, Luke Weaver of Arizona has registered a mammoth 11.86 ERA in 4 starts and allowed an alarmingly high 7 home runs in just 13 2/3 innings of work. The Oakland bullpen has been fantastic this year while posting a staff ERA of 2.16. On the other hand, the Arizona bullpen has a terrible 7.20 ERA and 2.08 WHIP over its last 7 games. Bet on Oakland for a 5* run-line wager.

Kansas City (Bubic) @ Minnesota (Wisler) 8:10 ET

Game# 961-962

Play On: Under 9.5 (5*)

It appears Minnesota will go with a bullpen by committee approach tonight. Matt Wisler will get the start, but he has only appeared in relief this season. Wisler has recorded a stellar 1.80 in 6 games and 10.0 innings of work this season. The Twins bullpen has been sensational at home this season while posting a combined 1.03 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. These teams have seen 5 of the 6 games played against one another this season go under the total. That includes a Minnesota 4-2 win yesterday. Minnesota is 10-1 under at home this season and that includes 8-0 under if they allowed 2 runs or fewer in their previous game. Kansas City has gone 10-4 under the total in their away games in 2020. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Royals (Singer) @ Twins (Dobnak) 2:10 PM ET

Game# 911-912

Play On: Under 9.5 (5*)

Minnesota has gone 9-1 under at home this season while Kansas City is 9-4 during away games. Brady Singer was solid in his lone start versus Minnesota this year. The Royals bullpen performance line has been more than respectable thus far in 2020.

Minnesota pitcher Randy Dobnak has been sensational in 4 starts this season while recording an excellent 0.90 ERA in 4 starts. As a matter of fact, his last 3 starts have gone under the total due in large part to his microscopic 0.56 ERA in those outing. The Minnesota bullpen has compiled an excellent 1.12 ERA in their 10 home games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Texas @ Colorado 8:10 PM ET

Game# 973-974

Play On: Colorado -1.5 (+106) (10*)

After starting 11-3 the Rockies have lost 4 of its last 5. Conversely, Texas has won 6 of their last 7 after starting the season 3-8. This seems like an ideal spot for Colorado to wake up and Texas to be brought back down to earth. The Rockies German Marquez has been superb in his 4 starts this season while recording a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. One of those starts came at Texas during which Marquez allowed just 1 earned run on 2 hits in 5 2/3 innings of work. This current Texas roster has gone a combined 7-42 (.167 BA) in their careers when facing Marquez. On the other side of the coin, this present Rockies roster is 14-29 (.483) batting average when going up against Kyle Gibson. By the way, Gibson is 0-3 in his team starts this season with a lofty 1.57 WHIP. At the time of this writing, Colorado was a money line favorite of -170. Marquez is 18-2 in his career team starts as a home favorite of -150 or greater and Colorado outscored those 20 opponents by a sizable average of 3.7 runs per game.

Dinelson Lamet has been dominant in 4 starts this season while posting a brilliant 1.65 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. As a matter of fact, 2 of those starts came against Arizona and struck out 19 Diamondbacks hitters in 11 2/3 innings of work. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

The Cubs have held 8 of their 16 opponents this season to 2 runs or fewer. Conversely, the Brewers have scored 2 runs or fewer in 8 of its 17 games this season. Milwaukee will send their ace Brandon Woodruff to the mound this evening. Woodruff has compiled a stellar 2.53 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 4 starts this season.

Cleveland (Civale) @ Detroit (Nova) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Cleveland pitcher Aaron Civale has shown excellent for during his first 3 starts of the season by posting a 2.84 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a nearly 12:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Civale has made 3 career start against Detroit and all those outing took place last season. Civale had a terrific 1.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, and pitched a plentiful 20 2/3 innings while each of those 3 games went under the total. The Cleveland bullpen has been sensational on the road this season while recording a 0.93 ERA and 0.78 WHIP. The Indians have been anemic offensively this year evidenced by then scoring 2 runs or fewer in 12 of their 19 games.

Detroit pitcher Ivan Nova made 4 starts versus Cleveland last season and went 7.0 innings during 3 of those outings. The Tigers bullpen has been sharp over their previous 7 games while collecting a staff ERA of 2.82. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Padres (Davies) @ Dodgers (Gonsolin) 9:40 PM ET

Game# 929-930

Play On: Under 9.5 (5*)

Zach Davies has been solid in 3 starts this season while posting a superb 2.87 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. The current Dodgers roster has career numbers of 16-for-78 against Davies which is good for a paltry .205 batting average. The Padres bullpen has been vastly improved of late while compiling a 3.29 ERA and 0.99 WHIP.

The Dodgers Tony Gonsolin has made 1 start in 2012 and pitched 4 scoreless innings. During 11 appearances with the Dodgers last season, Gonsolin had a shiny 2.93 ERA and 1.02 WHIP during 40.0 innings pitched. The Dodgers bullpen has been sensational this season while recording a miniscule 1.31 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. Dodgers relievers have also only given up 2 home runs in 75 1/3 innings of work.

The Dodgers are averaging 1.6 home runs per game in 2020 and San Diego is at 1.8 per game. Since the start of last season, San Diego is 21-7 under in away games when facing a team averaging 1.5 or more home runs per game. The Dodgers are 21-8 under since the start of last season versus an opponent that averages 1.5 or more home runs per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Oakland @ LA Angels 4:10 PM ET

Game# 907-908

Play On: Oakland -106 (5*)

Oakland has lost the first 2 games of this series after arriving in Anaheim riding a 9-game win streak. I just don’t see a quality team like Oakland being swept by an Angels club that has yet yo win 3 straight this season. Oakland starter Chris Bassitt is 3-0 thus far in 2020 with an excellent 1.08 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. Oakland was a 6-0 loser yesterday. However, since 6/6/2019, Oakland is 9-1 on the road following a loss in which they scored 2 runs or fewer. The Angels Griffin Channing has a deceivingly low ERA in 3 starts and his 1.60 WHIP during those outings suggests he has been wiggling out of a few jams. His luck runs out today. Bet on Oakland for a 5* money line wager.

Minnesota (Clippard) @ Milwaukee (Lindblom) 8:10 PM ET

Game# 967-968

Play On: Milwaukee -109 (5*)

Tyler Clippard will get the start for Minnesota who ordinarily works in relief. The Twins did this once already with Clippard this year and he pitched 2.0 innings of scoreless baseball. Like on that occasion, Minnesota will go with a bullpen by committee approach tonight. The Minnesota bullpen has been shaky over its last 7 games while posting a lofty 6.08 ERA and allowing 6 home runs in 23 2/3 innings of work.

Milwaukee will look to get 4.0 solid innings from starter Josh Lindblom tonight and then turn it over to their red-hot bullpen. Throughout the Brewers last 7 games their bullpen has recorded an excellent 1.23 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and struck out 37 batters in 29 1/3 innings of work. The most surprising part of the Brewers poor start is their current 1-5 home record. That trend is not looking to continue since Milwaukee has gone 104-64 (.619) at Miller Field. Bet on Milwaukee for a 5* money line wager.

Arizona (Ray) @ Colorado (Gray) 8:40 PM ET

Game# 913-914

Play On: Over 11.5 (5*)

Arizona pitcher Robbie Ray has made 3 starts this season and posted a large 9.45 ERA and 1.95 WHIP while allowing 6 home runs in just 13 1/3 innings pitched. That rate of home runs per innings pitched is not good news considering Ray will be facing a Rockies team which has hit 14 homers in 7 home games this season. Additionally, the weather forecast is calling for winds of 10-11 MPH blowing out to left centerfield. The current Colorado roster has gone 59-172 (.343 BA/1.082 OPS) in their careers versus Robbie Ray.

Jon Gray has pitched very well in his first 3 starts of the season. However, the current Diamondbacks roster has gone 43-121 (.335 BA/.895 OPS) in their careers against Gray. The Rockies are uncharacteristically 9-4 under at home this season. It is time for that trend to start leveling off and it starts with tonight. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Indians (Bieber) @ White Sox (Giolito) 7:08 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: White Sox +140 (5*)

Lucas Giolito has bounced back nicely in his last 2 starts after having an awful 2020 debut. This will be Giolito’s first start of the season against Cleveland. Last season the White Sox hurler was 3-0 against Cleveland and did not allow an earned run over 20 2/3 innings pitched. Additionally, Giolito will be going up against a Cleveland team with a horrible .299 slugging percentage on the season. Since the start of last year, Giolito is a perfect 7-0 in his team starts versus American League teams with a slugging percentage of .400 or worse.

The Indians Shane Bieber has been outstanding during his first 3 starts of 2020 while recording a microscopic 0.83 ERA and striking out 35 batters in 21 2/3 innings pitched. However, this current White Sox roster has gone 18-60 (.300) with an impressive .927 OPS when facing Bieber. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line underdog wager.

Houston (Javier) @ Oakland (Lazardo) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 977-978

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

Oakland enters today riding an impressive 8-game win streak. Oakland starting pitcher Jesus Lazardo is the real deal. Since last season, he has appeared in 9 games including 1 start and collected a brilliant 1.90 ERA and 0.89 WHIP while striking out 28 in 28 2/3 innings pitched. The Oakland bullpen has been terrific thus far in 2020 evidenced by their 1.43 ERA and 0.97 WHIP as a staff.

The Astros are currently on a 4-game losing streak. The Astros bullpen has a massive 2.03 WHIP over their last 7 games. Sunday will be the finale of a long 9-game road trip for Houston. Since the start of last season, they have gone a poor 8-15 in away games after playing 5 or more on the road. Bet on Oakland as a 5* run-line wager.

Detroit @ Pittsburgh 1:35 PM ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Detroit -135 (10*)

The Tigers have amassed 28 runs scored and 32 hits during the first 2 games of this series. The Tigers Spencer Turnbull has been solid in his first 2 starts of 2020 while posting a 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. The Tigers bullpen has a more than respectable 3.19 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over their last 7 games. Detroit will be facing southpaw Steven Brault today. The Tigers have smacked 9 home runs in 3 games in which they faced left starters. Pittsburgh has gone 1-9 in their last 10 and their bullpen has been horrible this season. That is significant because Brault has last only 2.0 and 3.0 innings during his only 2 starts in 2020. Bet on Detroit for a 10* Top Play money line wager.

Arizona (Kelly) @ San Diego (Paddack) 9:10 PM ET

Game# 925-926

Play On: Under 7.5 (10*)

Padres pitcher Chris Paddock has been outstanding in 3 starts this season while recording a 2.65 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Paddack made 4 starts against Arizona last season and was totally dominant while posting an exceptional 0.79 ERA. San Diego is coming off a 3-0 win over Arizona last night. Since the start of last season, San Diego is 15-5 under following a game which produced a combined 4 runs scored or less.

Merrill Kelly has been terrific in his 2 starts this season while posting a 2.63 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. Kelly made 2 starts against San Diego last season and allowed 0 earned runs on 5 hits while striking out 18 in 14.0 innings of work. During 7 road games this season, Arizona is averaging a mere 2.4 runs scored per outing. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Cincinnati (DeSclafani) @ Milwaukee (Anderson) 7:10 PM ET

Game# 917-918

Play On: Over 9.0 (5*)

The Reds starter DeSclafani has been horrible during the last 4 starts at Milwaukee which is evidenced by his 8.69 ERA in those outings. As a matter of fact, during their MLB careers, current Milwaukee position players have gone 17-43 (.395) versus DeSclafani. The Reds bullpen has an atrocious 9.22 ERA and 1.83 WHIP on the road this season. On a positive note, the Reds have smashed 20 home runs in 14 games this season. Additionally, the Reds will be facing left-hander Brett Anderson today, and in 4 games against southpaw starters in 2020 they averaged 6.5 runs per game. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Minnesota (Odorizzi) @ Kansas City (Duffy) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 913-914

Play On: Over 9.5 (5*)

The current Kansas City position players have gone a combined career 25-73 (.349) with 6 home runs versus Jake Odorizzi. The Minnesota bullpen has been lights out at home but on the road, they have a lofty 6.14 ERA while allowing 7 home runs in just 22.0 innings pitched. Minnesota is coming off a 3-2 loss to Kansas City last night in a game they were a money line favorite of -137. The Twins are 15-4 over since last season following a 1-run division favorite loss and there were an average of 12.4 runs scored per game.

Since 8/15/2018 Daniel Duffy has made 3 starts against Minnesota and posted a large 8.19 ERA while surrendering 8 home runs in 18 2/3 innings. The weather forecast is calling for 10 to 11 MPH winds blowing out to left centerfield. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Houston (Valdez) @ Oakland (Montas) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: Oakland -145 (5*)

Oakland comes into today having won 7 straight games. During this current 7-game win streak, the Oakland bullpen has been magnificent while posting an excellent 0.64 ERA and recording 35 strikeouts in 28.0 innings. Since 2018, the Oakland starter Montas has made 3 starts versus Houston and collected a superb 1.56 ERA in those outings. Oakland will be facing left-handed starter Framber Valdez this afternoon. Since the start of last season, Oakland is an extremely profitable 38-13 when facing southpaw starters, and that includes 4-0 in 2020 with an enormous average victory margin of 4.2 runs per game. Bet on Oakland as a 5* money line favorite.

Tigers @ Pirates 7:05 PM ET

Game# 957-958

Play On: Over 8.5 (5*)

These teams have both hit poorly during the season’s first 2 weeks. However, the Tigers have hit an impressive 15 home runs in 10 games. They will also be facing Pittsburgh starter Chad Kuhl tonight who will be making his 2020 debut. The current Pirates position players are a combined 9-29 (.310) against Kuhl with an outstanding .909 OPS. Additionally, Kuhl is 15-4 over the total in 19 career home starts when there’s a total of 8.5 to 10.0.

The Tigers pitcher Matt Boyd has struggled in his first 2 starts of the season while posting a sizable 7.20 ERA. Boyd has made 3 career starts against Pittsburgh and recorded 7.36 ERA and 1.84 WHIP during those outings. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Houston (Bielak) @ Arizona (Gallen) 7:07 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Arizona -106 (10*)

The Diamondbacks broke out of their offensive funk in yesterday’s 14-7 rout over Houston. Zac Gallen has been superb in his 2 starts this season while posting a 2.70 ERA and striking out 15 in 10.0 innings of work.

Something feels different about this Astros team during their 6-5 start and not in a positive sense. Brandon Bielak will make his first MLB career start today. Bielak has made 2 relief appearances this season which totaled just 5 1/3 innings pitched.

Since the start of last season, MLB home teams of -106 or greater that are coming off a home win by 7 runs or greater in which they scored 14 runs or more have gone 32-16 (66.7%). Bet on Arizona for a 10* Top Play money line wager.

Royals (Singer) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 8:15 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks has been magnificent at Wrigley Field since the start of last season. Hendricks made 14 home starts in 2019 and posted an excellent 2.04 ERA and 0.87 WHIP while averaging a sizable 6.6 inning pitched per outing. His ability to pitch deep into games at home is especially important given the Cubs early season bullpen struggles. Addition, in his only start at Wrigley this season Hendricks pitched a complete game 3-hit shutout against Milwaukee.

Brady Singer has made 2 solid starts for Kansas City this season. The Roylas bullpen has performed very respectful in the early going of 2020. Wins will be blowing in tonight at 8 to 10 MPH. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Dodgers @ Padres 9:10 PM ET

Game# 969-970

Play On: Dodgers -128 (5*)

Walker Buehler is a perfect 4-0 against San Diego in his still young career. During those 4 outing he posted a microscopic 0.64 ERA and struck out 42 batters in 28.0 innings pitched. The Dodgers are 5-1 on this current road trip and their bullpen has compiled an excellent 0.31 ERA during those 6 games.

The Padres Chris Paddack has made 3 career starts versus the Dodgers and recorded a lofty 5.65 ERA while doing so. The Padres bullpen has a horrible 6.15 ERA this year. San Diego is an abysmal 21-49 in their last 70 games as a money line underdog and 26-60 during its previous 86 as a home underdog. Bet on the Dodgers for a 5* money line wager.

Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Diamondbacks (Kelly) 4:10 PM ET

Game# 925-926

Play On: Over 9.0 (5*)

The first thing that jumped out at me when handicapping this game was a relatively high total of 9.0 with Clayton Kershaw pitching. Kershaw has seen just 26 of his career starts have a total of 9.0 or greater and 15 of those came at Coors Field in Colorado. It seems the sportsbooks are begging to take this game under. However, this will be Kershaw’s first start of the season after missing his last turn due to back issues. Furthermore, Kershaw’s last 3 starts against Arizona has saw him post a sizable 6.35 ERA. As a matter of fact, in Kershaw’s last 8 starts against Arizona he has surrendered an alarmingly high 16 home runs in only 49 1/3 inning pitched. Kershaw figures to get plenty of run supports from a Dodger team averaging 5.7 runs per game and has hit 15 home runs already.

The Arizona bullpen has struggled this year which is evidenced by its staff ERA of 5.51. The D-Backs relievers have also issued 23 walks and allowed 6 home runs in just 32 2/3 innings pitched. Lastly, Sunday’s home plate umpire is slated to be Adrian Johnson who has seen 38 of 62 games (61.3%) go over the total since 2018 when he was calling balls and strikes. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

Padres @ Rockies 3:10 PM ET

Game# 919-920

Play On: Rockies +113 (5*)

The Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela has a terrific 2.33 ERA and 0.93 WHIP during his last 3 versus San Diego. The Colorado bullpen has a more than respectable 3.13 ERA thus far in 2020. Conversely, the Padres bullpen has blown 4 of 6 (66.7%) save opportunities this year. San Diego has managed to score 5.9 runs per game so far in 2020 despite hitting only .233 as a team.

Any MLB home team (Rockies) with a bullpen ERA of 3.33 or better, versus a National league opponent (Padres) who averages 4.7 runs scored or greater per game and their bullpen has blown 38% or more of its save opportunities on the season, resulted in those home teams going 37-9 (80.4%) since 2016. Bet on the Rockies for a 5* money line wager.

Indians (Civale) @ Twins (Clippard) 2:10 PM ET

Game# 911-912

Play On: Under 10.0 (5*)

Both team’s bullpens have been terrific to start the season. Cleveland has gone under in 8 of 9 this season which includes 6 straight going below the number. The Indians have produced just a combine 3 runs and 20 hits throughout their previous 4 games. Minnesota has allowed just 3 runs while scoring only 10 runs over their last 4 games.

The Twins beat Cleveland 4-1 and 3-0 in the last 2 days. The Indians are currently a money line underdog of +100 today. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Astros (McCullers) @ Angels (Andriese)10:10 PM ET

Game# 923-924

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

The Angels are off to a disappointing 2-5 starts and that includes 0-4 when facing right-handed starting pitchers like they will face this evening. During the first 3 games of their current homestand versus Seattle, the Angels bullpen has a combined 9.00 ERA and 2.08 WHIP. They lost the last 2 games of that series to Seattle as a massive -190 and -210 money line favorite while being outscored 18-12.

Current Houston position players have career batting numbers of 13-for-33 (.394 BA/1.053 OPS) against tonight’s Angeles starter Matt Andriese. Houston did not play yesterday and that is significant. The Astros went 24-5 last season following a day off and that includes 14-2 in away games. Bet on Houston for a 5* run line wager.

Pirates (Williams) @ Cubs (Darvish) 8:15 PM ET

Game# 921-922

Play On: Cubs -1.5 (+107) (5*)

Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams made 3 starts against the Cubs last season and posted an awful 13.85 ERA while allowing a whopping 7 homers in just 13 1/3 innings pitched. He will be facing a Cubs team which has scored 7 runs or more in each of their previous 4 games and they have connected for 11 home runs during their first 7 games. Conversely the Pirates are hitting a paltry .171 as a teams through its first 6 games. Current Pittsburgh position players have combined career numbers of 6-for-52 (.155 BA) against tonight’s Cubs starter Yu Darvish. Bet on the Cubs for a 5* run line wager.

Reds @ Tigers 7:10 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Under 8.5 (5*)

Detroit’s offensive numbers look much better than they really are as they have been skewed by their 15 home runs hit during the first 7 games. Otherwise, they are hitting an awful .208 as a team while also sporting a horrible .274 on-base-percentage. The Tigers scheduled pitcher is Spencer Turbull and dating back to last season he’s gone 16-6 under in 22 starts when there was a total of 8.5 to 10.0.

Cincinnati’s game at Wrigley Field was rained out yesterday. Last season they went 17-4 under the total following a day off. Reds pitcher was stellar in his 2020 debut which ironically came against Detroit. During that outing, Bauer allowed only 1 earned run on 2 hits while striking out 13 and walked 1 during 6 1/3 innings pitched. Bauer is 34-16 (68%) under the total in 50 career road night game starts. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.

Padres @ Giants 9:45 PM ET

Game# 971-972

Play On: Padres -1.5 (+101) (5*)

Like I mentioned on my podcast today, I love this kid Dinelson Lamet. He is the true definition of a power pitcher who can potentially be a Top 10 pitcher. The current Giants position players have gone a combined 1-for-17 (.059 BA) against Lamet in their careers. Lamet has struck out 16 in 11 2/3 innings during 2 career starts versus San Francisco.

The Giants are coming off last night’s thrilling 7-6 home win over san Diego in a game they overcame a 6-2 deficit. Unfortunately for them, they have gone 1-8 in their last 9 games as a home underdog of +132 or greater following a win and were outscored by a substantial 3.7 runs per game. Kevin Gausman is coming off a year in which he posted a large 6.37 ERA in 17 starts. Bet on the Padres for a 5* run line wager.

Royals (Singer) @ Tigers (Nova) 7:10 ET

Game# 959-960

Play On: Royals -130 (5*)

The Royals look to bounce back from a 5-4 loss at Detroit on Wednesday in a game they blew a 4-0 lead. On a positive note for Kansas City, since 4/9/2019, the Tigers are a dismal 3-16 at home following a home win. Additionally, since the start of last season, Detroit has gone a dreadful 13-47 as a home money line underdog of +100 or greater, and they were outscored by a sizable margin of 3.3 runs per game. Detroit has won 2 in a row heading into tonight. They went the last 4 months of last season without winning 3 consecutive games. The Royals pitcher Brad Singer was solid in his 2020 debut start against Cleveland. Bet on the Royals as a 5* money line favorite.

Indians @ Twins 7:07 PM ET

Game# 965-966

Play On: Twins -115 (58)

We are not going to catch the Twins as a home favorite with this chaep of a price tag very often in 2020. Minnesota is off to a 4-1 start and that includes winning its last 3. Minnesota pitcher Jose Berrios made 4 starts against Cleveland last season and compiled a terrific 2.55 ERA and 0.89 WHIP during those outings. Since 8/24/2019, Minnesota is 24-6 as a money line favorite. Cleveland pitcher Shane Bieber made 4 starts against the twins last season and allowed 7 home runs in 26.0 inning pitched. He will be facing a Twins lineup which has already hit 10 homers in their first 5 outings and is averaging a robust 7.2 runs scored per game. Bet on the Twins for a 5* wager.

Cubs (Hendricks) @ Reds (Gray) 6:40 PM ET

Game# 909-910

Play On: Reds -107 (5*)

Considering the abbreviated 2020 MLB schedule of just 60 games, Cincinnati desperately need a win tonight after getting off to an extremely disappointing 1-4 start. The Reds starter Sonny Gray was 4-1 in his team starts last season versus the Cubs while posting a superb 2.70 ERA and 0.83 WHIP during those 5 outings. The Cubs Kyle Hendricks was terrific at Wrigley Field last year and in his only appearance there in 2020. However, Hendricks was just 5-8 on the road in 16 starts a season ago and recorded a lofty 5.02 ERA. Hendricks has made 8 career starts versus Cincinnati and collected a sizable 6.00 ERA in those outings. Bet on the Reds for a 5* money line wager.

White Sox (Giolito) @ Indians (Plesac) 6:10 PM ET

Game# 905-906

Play On: White Sox -114 (5*)

To steal a quote from Yogi Berra, “it is getting late early” for the White Sox who are off to a poor 1-4 start. Lucas Giolito get the start for Chicago today and he was shaky in his 2020 debut. Nevertheless, during 2 starts against Cleveland last season Giolito allowed 0 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings pitched. On a positive note, the White Sox have managed to belt 10 home runs in their first 5 games. The more desperate team cashes in tonight. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Blue Jays (Pearson) @ Nationals (Scherzer) 6:05 PM ET

Game# 907-908

Play On: Nationals -1.5 (+101) (5*)

It’s been a long time since any team can claim they swept a regular season against Washington. As a matter of fact, it dates all the way back to May 20th thru 23rd of last year when the Mets swept them in a 4-game series at Citi Field. The Nationals have lost the first 2 games of this series against Toronto with 2 left to play. Nonetheless, they can ill afford to drop another game on Wednesday after getting off to a 1-4 start in lieu of the shortened MLB regular season schedule. Max Scherzer gets the start tonight and he was less than impressive during his 2020 debut was a 4-1 loss to the Yankees. The current Blue Jays roster has gone an abysmal 4-37 (.108 BA) during their careers. I look for Washington to stop the bleeding in a big way tonight. Bet on the Nationals for a 5* run-line wager.
