UNDER 8

The Yanks and A’s have value on this under. Both of these teams play in the series finale which is a night game on getaway day. Nestor Cortes gets the ball for the Yankees and he looked like his old self last time out. The LH threw 7.0 shutout innings against the Rays, while striking out 9. He’s taking on a weak Oakland lineup that has struggled mightily this year producing runs. On the other side, Alex Wood gets the ball for Oakland and he can produce some swings and misses against this lineup. New York has been over aggressive as of late and it’s resulted in some bad at bats for this lineup. Wood will need to work on his off speed pitches more to keep this lineup off balanced. This is a good line on this under. Given the situational factor of it being a night series finale, we’re going to see many quick innings and much more aggressive hitters.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Over 8

Milwaukee and St. Louis have value on this over. The Cards are trying to break out here and DL Hall is the perfect pitcher for them to see. He comes in with an ERA of 7.11 as he was touched for 5 runs in Baltimore last start. His issues have come from the inability to consistently hit the strike zone and he’s struggled with putting a lot of traffic on the bases. This is a perfect spot for the Cards to make him work and force him out of the stretch early. The Brewers meanwhile have their share of scoring chances with Mikolas on the hill for St. Louis. He’s struggled as well and allowed 5 runs to the Dbacks last time out. He’s very similar to Hall in terms of putting a lot of traffic on the bases and Milwaukee is going to have their chances to put up big innings. This is the kind of game where we will see both teams have their chances, which gives us good value on this total. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 9

Baltimore and Kansas City have value on the Over on Friday night. Both of these starting pitchers have started off well this year, but they are not what they’ve shown really. Both are bottom of the rotation pitchers and these two offenses are going to produce a lot of run scoring chances. Dean Kramer came back to earth after to great starts where Milwaukee dominated him for 6 runs. He’s a contact pitcher and that doesn’t bode well here against the Royals who are putting up crooked numbers multiple times per game to start the season. On the flip side, Alec Marsh is 2-0, but the Mets also got him for 4 runs last time out. This Baltimore offense puts a lot of traffic on the bases and they are putting up some big numbers with their young core. They’ve won 4 straight while putting up 28 runs in the process. This is going to be a back and forth game, with both teams having their chances to score. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 9

The Guards and Red Sox cap off their 4 game set as they played to an under 2 hour game last night where we backed the under. We’re back at it again here as the quick turnaround on getaway should produce another low scoring game. These two teams had minimal scoring chances last night and Cleveland didn’t even have a base runner reach 2nd base in the 2-0 win for Boston. Carlos Carrasco takes the ball and he has been one of those who has put base runners on but not allowed things to blow up on him. He’s been able to get to around the 5th typically and turn it over to one of the best pens in baseball. Countering him is Brennan Bernardino for Boston. He’s an opener for what will be a bullpen day for the Sox. The pen comes in well rested after not having to pitch last night which is a huge edge. Look for run scoring chances to come at a premium again on Thursday in this matchup as both teams will be much more aggressive early in counts and produce some quick outs. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 9

The Red Sox and Guardians played to an 11 inning affair on Tuesday and there is value on this under on Wednesday. For starters, the weather shifted late in the game last night and it became much cooler and we’ll get the wind blowing in on Wednesday night. Boston is banged up as well as we shouldn’t see Tyler O’Neill or Rafael Devers in the lineup here. They send out Tanner Houck, who owns an ERA of just 2.04 this year and has started off very strong. He’s struck out 19 over his first 3 starts and has 2 scoreless outings under his belt. He’s countered by Ben Lively, who makes a spot start for the Guardians injured rotation. He will see some backups and should produce some good innings, getting to one of the best bullpens in baseball right now. This has the makings of a game with scoring chances at a premium. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 7.5

The Reds and Mariners have value to this under. Two starting pitchers who are huge pieces to this rotation battle it out as Montas and Kirby both have had success over the years. Montas has got off to a much better start as he owns a 2-1 record with an ERA of just 2.16. He has gone at least 5 innings in all 3 games this season and he has at least 4 strikeouts in all 3 of those outings. Kirby counters him and while he has got off to a slow start, he is should produce a lot of swings and misses against this Reds lineup. He has tended to pitch much better in Seattle throughout his career and producing swings and misses against an aggressive lineup should come here. Look for scoring opportunities to be at a premium and for both starting pitchers to limit the damage in a low scoring game. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8.5

Milwaukee and Baltimore have value on this Over. Milwaukee’s offense is rolling right now as they continue to put up big numbers. They come in after back to back 11 run performances and they’ve had at least 3 runs scored in every game this season. The task is fall against their former teammate Corbin Burnes, but they’ll continue to make him work, like they have with so many other pitchers this season. On the flip side, Baltimore put up a 5 spot on Saturday, but they’re struggling right now to hold the opposition down. Their issues have stemmed from crooked numbers being put up on them, which obviously benefits this over. This is going to be the kind of game where we see both teams be patient and put together a lot of run scoring chances. These two offenses have had the ability to get the big hit when needed this season, which will be the key to hitting this. Over on Sunday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 7.5

The Guardians and White Sox clash in the rubber match of a 3 game set and the Under has good value here. Weather wise, it’s supposed to be a cool night in Cleveland in the 50’s, so the ball won’t be traveling much in this one. These two teams played to a 7-5 game on Tuesday, but this is a good pitching matchup on Wednesday. Erick Fedde takes the ball for the Sox and this will be his third AL Central foe hes already facing. Hes given up just 3 runs over 9.2 innings of work so far and should produce a lot of swings and misses against this Cleveland offense. Tanner Bibee counters and he comes in off a 9 strikeout performance against the Twins last time out. He’s one of the best in this Cleveland rotation and will shutdown the White Sox offense that is going to be very bad this season. They haven’t had any sort of consistency and they strike out a lot. Bibee will have a field day with this lineup, limiting the run scoring chances for the Sox. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8.5

Probable Pitchers: Javier (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 9 K's) vs. Ragans (0-1, 1.46 ERA, 16 K's)

Get ready for some action in Kansas City as the Astros take on the Royals in the first game of a thrilling 3-game series on Tuesday night. Fresh off closing a 4-game showdown with Texas, Houston faces a pretty good looking Kansas City team, who just swept the White Sox in a 4-game series. Last season, the Royals dominated, clinching the series 5-1, including a remarkable 3-game sweep against the Stros' on the road. This is a lower total on two offenses that can hit the ball pretty well. Houston dropped a 10 spot in their latest contest as they blew out the Rangers 10-5 in a win on Monday. That’s been the story this season thus far as this team can explode at times with some big innings. Their ability to put traffic on the bases is the biggest key as they produce a lot of run scoring chances. Cole Ragans will be making his 3rd start and he was roughed up by the Twins in his first outing, allowing 5 runs in the process. Meanwhile, this Royals offense made some moves in the offseason and they’ve helped get some run production early. Kansas City swept a 4 game series from the White Sox and they put up 5 runs and 10 runs in 2 of those wins. They’re similar to the Astros as their ability to put a lot of traffic on the bases and come up with a big hit has been their style. Both offenses have the chance to score in flurries and we’ll see plenty of run scoring opportunities on Tuesday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 8

Seattle and Cleveland start a 3 game set and the under here in Game 1 is the move. While Cleveland got off to a fast start, their offense was humbled in a 4-3 loss on Sunday to close out their series. They struggled manufacturing base runners for a majority of the game and now they come take on a young arm who there isn’t much of a book on. Seattle starter, Emerson Hancock, has appeared in 3 games. All of those came in August last year and he will look to be a part of this rotation in 2024. He owns a 4.50 ERA over those 3 outings while striking out 6. He will be countered by Tristan McKenzie, the RH for the Guardians who missed basically all of last year with an arm injury. He had a great spring and is feeling healthy, which is a huge boost for this rotation. McKenzie has been a top of the rotation guy when healthy and has ace quality stuff. He will have this Seattle offense off balanced all night long. Look for scoring chances to be at a premium both ways in a game where the pitching dominates. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 9.5

Probable Pitchers: TEX - A. Heaney-L vs ARI - J. Mantiply-L

Happy Halloween! Tonight, it's the Rangers versus the Diamondbacks in Game 4 of the 2023 World Series. The action kicks off at 8:03 p.m. ET on FOX. The Rangers are currently up 2-1 in the series. Late update here.

GOING with the UNDER 9.5.

I've been looking at this game for an hour, and it's really got me flip-flopping do I want the total? Or the moneyline? 

Heaney should be ready for Tuesday's game after pitching briefly in Game 2 on Saturday. He gave up 3 runs, 4 hits, and 1 walk in just 0.2 innings in Game 4 of the ALCS against Houston. Not a great outcome for him, but he's had some rest since then. Counting on him being better.

On the other side Mantiply will be the opener tonight. He last pitched in G1. He'll get 1-2 innings max. He's 2-0 with a 4.26 ERA thru 8 appearances this playoff season. Plus, he was a stud to end the season 1.38 ERA in Sept. I think we'll see Nelson tonight. After that who knows. Castros & Frias, likely.

Tensions will be high here as Arizona knows they can’t fall behind 3-1 in this series.

This is going to be a tightly played game both ways. Both offenses are going to swing and miss a lot with both of these starters on the hill. 

We’re playing this under with the expectation of a tight game with a lot on the line here. Look for scoring chances to be at a premium and for limited base runners. 

Some trends to note, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Arizona's L6 games, and we've seen the UNDER hit in 4 of Arizona's L5 games at home. 

I'm going with the UNDER. Fresh arms > Bats tonight.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* WS O/U Play

Over 8.5

Probable Pitchers: ARI - M. Kelly-R vs TEX - J. Montgomery-L

In Game 1 of the 2023 World Series on Friday night we were treated to a fantastic spectacle. The Rangers took down the D-Backs in 11 innings. On Saturday evening we get Game 2 at 8:03PM ET at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX. The betting odds for G2 have the O/U total line set at 8.5, while the Rangers are -151 ML favorites, the D-Backs are dogs in Game 2 at +145 on the ML. You can bet the Rangers on the RL at -1.5 (+120).

Game 2 follows an entertaining Game 1 and we're on the Over here.

These two teams have showcased all postseason that they are able to come up with clutch hits and timely hits. Texas in particular can flip a game with the blink of an eye thanks to their power. 

Kelly gets the ball for the Dbacks and he comes in after going 5+ innings twice against Phili. He was knocked around in his first start against them, but bounced back in the next. He will not only have his hands full with this Texas lineup that makes opposing pitchers work, but he will struggle with this being his first start of the series. So far this postseason, he has pitched for a total of 17 innings in three starts, accumulating 19 strikeouts and maintaining a solid 2.65 ERA.

Montgomery has stepped up this postseason. He has performed impressively in both regular and postseason games, maintaining a 2.62 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP over 92.2 innings.

However, the Dbacks are a scrappy lineup that will make you work.

They can string together hits and get themselves into some scoring chances early. 

Some trends to note, the OVER is 6-0-1 in the Rangers L7, and it's 6-0-1 in their L7 playoff games. Plus the OVER is 4-0-1 in the Rangers L5 vs. a Righty. On the other side, the total has gone OVER in 5 of Arizona's L6 games when playing on the road against Texas. Lastly, the total has gone OVER in 14 of Texas' L19 at home.

Aaaaand we're flipping to the OVER for Game 2. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play

Under 8.5

Probable Pitchers: ARI - Z. Gallen-R (2-2, 5.24 ERA in playoffs) vs TEX - N. Eovaldi-R (4-0, 2.42 ERA in playoffs)

The 93-81 Arizona Diamondbacks take on the high flying 99-75 Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the 2023 World Series. This one goes off at 8:03pm EDT at Globe Life Field in Arlington TX. Friday October 26th 2023. 

The Diamondbacks are on the road as underdogs at +141 odds, facing the Rangers who are favored at -165. The Over/Under total is set at 8.5, but some shops have it at 8.

We're playing the under in Game 1 of the World Series. 

The Diamondbacks continue to be the Cinderella story as they took over Philadelphia with back to back road wins to secure their spot in this World Series. 

We're getting the best of both here as the Rangers and Dbacks send out their aces here.

Gallen gets the ball for Arizona and while he has been hit or miss this postseason, this is the kind of spot he steps up in. He's been the backbone to this rotation all season long, as he finished with 17 wins and a 3.47 ERA. This postseason he's allowed 2 runs on 2 separate occasions, while getting through 5.0 innings and then 6.0 in his other two starts.

Eovaldi has pitched like an ace himself. He's gone 4-0 this postseason, with an ERA of 2.42. He's logged 4 quality starts in all 4 outings and has been dominant. He should have this Dbacks lineup off balanced, producing a lot of 2 strike counts. 

Rangers are 4-0 in Eovaldis L4 stars, and 1-8 in their L9 playoff home games. Here's some nerdy stats for you, the Rangers were favored in 115 games this season, winning 67 (58%). Texas was favored by -165 or more in 41 games, winning 27 of them.

A trend to note, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Arizona's last 5 games. 

We're backing the UNDER in Game 1.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

Over 8.5

Probable Pitchers: ARI - B. Pfaadt-R vs PHI - R. Suarez-L

Get ready for the 2023 NLCS showdown! Game 7 is upon us, and it's happening at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. The victor secures a spot in the World Series. The first pitch is set for 8:07 p.m. ET, and you can catch the action on TBS. The (84-78) Diamondbacks are taking on the (90-72) Phillies.

MLB Moneyline Odds: Diamondbacks +140 | Phillies -167. If you prefer the Run Line, it's Diamondbacks +1.5 | Phillies -1.5. And for those eyeing the over/under, the total betting line is 8.5. 

Another Game 7 and we get two starting pitchers who come off career outings. However, we’re backing the Over here as these offenses should find plenty of success against them this time around.

Rookie Brandon Pfaadt has a rough stretch during the regular season and is now going to be asked to pitch against this offense and this crowd. We should see the Phillies make him work far more and put a lot of traffic on the bases. Pfaadt had no impact on the result in Thursday's NLCS Game 3, where they won 2-1 against the Phillies. Pfaadt allowed two hits in 5.2 innings and struck out nine. 

Suarez gets a hot Diamondbacks offense that has a lot of confidence right now themselves. Arizona put up great at bats and their approach was top notch in Game 6. They’re going to carry that into this one here and string together hits against Suarez. Suarez also had no influence on the outcome in Game 3. Suarez's stats for that day were 5.1 innings pitched, three hits, and one walk.

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 12 of Arizona's L17 games when playing on the road against Phili. On the other side the total has gone OVER in 12 of Philadelphia's L18 games against Arizona, and 8 of the Phils L11 games against an opponent in the NL West.

Get ready for some thrilling baseball action!

We're on the OVER tonight. I'm expecting a shootout at the O.K. Corral. Enjoy this classic.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NLCS Game 7 O/U Play

Over 9.5

Probable Pitchers: PHI - C. Sanchez-L vs ARI - J. Mantiply-L 

Friday NLCS showdown between the Phillies and Diamondbacks in Game 4 of the best-of-7 National League Championship Series. The game kicks off at 8:07 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TBS. On the mound, we've got LHP Christopher Sanchez (3-5) facing off against RHP Joe Mantiply (2-2).

The current MLB betting lines show the Phillies as favorites at -124 on the Moneyline, while the DBacks sit at +115. The Run line (ATS) is Phillies -1.5 (+125) and Diamondbacks +1.5 (-140), with the Over/Under set at 9.5.

We’re back on the Over after it failed us in Game 3 on Thursday night.

The Phillies and Diamondbacks battled to a 2-1 game where the Dbacks walked it off to get back into this series.

This pitching matchup should produce a lot more offense as we’re going to see the bullpens of each team. Philadelphia’s offense has always been one to bounce back and bounce in a big way. They will see Mantiply to start here, who rarely works more than an inning. The rest of this dbacks bullpen is very hittable and we’ve seen them get knocked around even in this series.

The Phillies are going with Sanchez, who will be in somewhat of a bit more length position. He was a starter this season, but did work out of the pen against the Mets in his final tuneup. He has yet to pitch this postseason and usually will give the Phillies some early inning action.

Sanchez's stats for the season are 3.44 ERA over 18 starts with a 1.05 WHIP in 99 1/3 innings. Mantiply, on the other hand, went 2-2 with a 4.62 ERA in 3 starts and 32 relief appearances, with a 1.13 WHIP in 39 innings.

Both offenses will find run scoring chances, especially early here, helping this over.

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Phili's L6 games, and the total has gone OVER in 13 of Arizona's L20 games against Philadelphia. Plus, here's a random trend for you, the total has gone OVER in 4 of the Phils L5 played on a Friday when on the road.

In past matchups, Game 3 featured limited scoring, with just 3 runs, while Game 2 saw 10 runs, and Game 1 had 8 runs. In the regular season these 2 teams combined for, 9, 7, 11, 17, 18, 7, and 9 runs. It all averages out to 9.9 RPG. It's gonna be tight...but.

Back the OVER tonight in the desert.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NLCS O/U Play

Under 8.5

Probable Pitchers: HOU - J. Verlander-R vs TEX - J. Montgomery-L

Here's today's MLB betting info for the Friday ALCS matchup with the (95-75) Houston Astros taking on the (97-74) Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series. The game kicks off at 5:07 p.m. ET, airing on FS1. The current MLB betting lines are Astros at +100 and Rangers at -118. The Run line (RL) (ATS) has Astros +1.5 (-158) and Rangers -1.5 (+192). The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 9 runs.

On the mound, we have RHP Justin Verlander (13-8) going against LHP Jordan Montgomery (10-11). Verlander's stats include a 3.22 ERA in 27 starts with a 1.13 WHIP in 162 1/3 innings. Montgomery made 32 starts with a 3.20 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, in 188 2/3 innings.

In terms of matchup history, the 2023 ALCS is tied 2-2. Texas won 2 in Houston, while Houston won the last 2 in Arlington. The Rangers, initially on a 7-game playoff win streak, are now facing a 2-game losing streak.

We’ve backed Houston in the past 2 games, but now we’re flipping to the Under here in a huge game 5. The Astros have taken all the momentum back after back to back wins, which includes a beating of the Rangers on Thursday 10-3.

Now, we get 2 of these two teams top pitchers as Verlander and Montgomery square off. Both with ERA's under 2.10. The LH for Texas has 3 starts where he has gone 17.1 innings, allowing just 4 runs in one of the starts, while the other two were shutout performances.

Verlander has been equally impressive. He has gone 12.2 innings, giving up only 2 runs against these Rangers in Game 1. This is going to be tightly played game, with both sides struggling to put together run scoring chances.

You're not going to find trends out there that point to this one going UNDER. We know we know, we usually find you some nuggets...today...nothing. Look at the score from Game 1. (these two pitched in that one)

Regardless, we're backing the UNDER in this one on Friday afternoon. It'll be tough to score runs tonight.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

Over 9

Probable Pitchers: PHI - R. Suarez-L (5-6 ERA: 3.97) vs ARI - B. Pfaadt-R (3-9 ERA: 5.59)

In 2023 NLCS Game 3, it's the Phillies (97-73, 42-41 on the road, 8-2 in the last 10) facing off against the Diamondbacks (89-80, 44-38 at home, 5-5 in the last 10) tonight at 5:07 ET, at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ. You can catch the action on TBS U.S.

The MLB - NLCS Betting Lines look like this: Phillies (-130) on the Money Line versus Diamondbacks (+114). The Run Line is Phillies -1.5 (+120) and Diamondbacks +1.5 (-142), while the Game Total is set at Over 9 (-115).

On the mound, we have Ranger Suarez, who's been impressive in the postseason, allowing only 1 run in 8.2 innings. He'll go up against Brandon Phaadt, who had some struggles in the regular season with a 3-9 record and 22 HRs given up in 19 games but showed promise in his first playoff outing with a strong 7-inning performance.

In Game 1, the Dbacks kept it close in a 5-3 loss, but the Phillies dominated in Game 2 with a 10-0 victory.

We’re on the Over here as the series shifts to Arizona. For starters, tickets to get into this game on Stubhub are just $10. So if you’re in the area, feel free to take advantage of this.

Arizona has looked awful, which clearly is the big reason for that. Their pitching has been just torched as Philadelphia is clicking on all cylinders right now.

The Phils have hit 15 HR's in the past 4 games as it has been just about every single person getting involved. They take on rookie Brandon Pfaadt, who has been terrible as of late. He owns an ERA of over 7 this season and has been knocked around in the postseason.

The Diamondbacks will face Suarez, who will look to get through 4 or 5 innings and turn it over to the pen. We're playing this Over as both teams will find success and put together scoring chances.

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Philadelphia's last 5 games, and we've seen the OVER in 5 of Phili's last 7 on the road. On the other side, the OVER has hit in 5 of Zona's L7 games against Phili.

Back the over tonight. Expect 10-14 runs. Ring the bell.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

Arizona vs Philadelphia Over

Probable Pitchers: ARI - M. Kelly-R vs PHI - A. Nola-R

Tonight, it's the Diamondbacks versus the Phillies in Game 2 of the NL Championship Series, with the Phillies currently leading 1-0. The game kicks off at 8:07 p.m. ET at Citizens Bank Park and will be broadcasted on TBS.

Here are the latest MLB playoff odds: Diamondbacks with a +140 moneyline and Phillies at -165. The run line shows Diamondbacks at +1.5 (-155) and Phillies at -1.5 (+125). The over/under is set at 8, with over at -105 and under at -115.

We’re back on the Over here after cashing it in last nights Game 1.

Philadelphia is teeing off right now. (11-1 home run) They’re getting contributions from their stars in big moments as we saw Schwarber, Castellanos, and Harper all go yard in Game 1. This offense has dominated this postseason and they’re hitting everything and everyone.

Arizona still managed to make things interesting as well, putting up runs themselves.

Now, let's talk about the pitchers for tonight. Kelly, who had a 12-8 record with a 3.29 ERA in 30 starts, takes the mound. He had a 1.19 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9, and 9.5 K/9 in 177 2/3 innings. Kelly last faced Philadelphia on 6/14, where he allowed 3 runs.

On the other side, Nola, with a 12-9 record and a 4.46 ERA across 32 starts. He posted a 1.15 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9, and 9.4 K/9 in 193 2/3 innings. This offense will make him work and rack his pitch count up.

Nola owns a 3.67 era in his postseason career and Arizona can at least carry their momentum from late in the game into play here. 

Weather looks good, high 50's, low 60's at gametime. 

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 12 of Arizona's last 17 games when playing on the road against the Phils, plus the total has gone OVER in 12 of Philadelphia's last 18 games against Arizona. Finally the over is 7-2-2 in these two teams' L11.

Runs, Runs, Runs...we're on the OVER tonight. Phils have a +31 run diff in OCT.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Diamondbacks vs Phillies Over

Probable Pitchers: ARI - Z. Gallen-R (19-9) ERA: 3.46 vs PHI - Z. Wheeler-R (14-6) ERA: 3.47

Tonight the 2023 NLCS begins as Citizens Bank Park hosts Game 1 featuring the Phillies facing off against the Diamondbacks. The game's first pitch is set for 8:07 p.m. ET, and you can catch it on TBS. The Phillies come into this playoff showdown with a superior regular season record, finishing at 90-72 (with a strong 53-32 record at home), while the DBacks concluded at 84-78 (going 45-40 on the road). Both teams have performed well lately, boasting a 6-4 record in their last ten games.

Here's the odds: The money line favors the Phillies at -167, while the Diamondbacks stand at +142. The Over/Under is set at 7.5, and the run line has the Phillies at -1.5 with a +129 payout.

Wheeler holds a 6-3 record with a 2.96 ERA in 11 career starts against the DBacks, having split his decisions in the regular season. Gallen, on the other hand, allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision game against the Phillies in May. Throughout his career, he's maintained a 3-1 record with a 2.22 ERA in 5 starts against the Phils.

We’re on the Over here in this one.

Both of these offenses have flourished in the postseason so far. Arizona dominated the Dodgers, putting up 19 runs in 3 games against them. They are getting situational hits and their ability to hit the long ball is showing right now.

Philadelphia is in the same boat. The Phillies have dominated when they go deep. Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos have been leading the charge as this offense is clicking on all cylinders. They have hit extremely well at home and this is a case where they should find just as much success.

Both starting pitchers have let up runs in their postseason starts, but have also found success themselves. Look for both offenses to make these pitchers work early and produce run scoring chances. As we get into the bullpens we'll see more runs late.

There's just too much offensive firepower on both sides in this one for the bats to be kept quiet. When you have a game featuring Turner, Castellanos, Harper, Carroll, Marte, and Moreno you should expect fireworks, and we are.

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 11 of Arizona's last 16 games when playing on the road against Philadelphia, plus, we've seen the OVER hit in 7 of the Phils L10 against an opponent in the NL West. The Phils have only hit the Game Total Under in 33 of their last 81. While the Dbacks have hit the Team Total Over in 45 of their last 77 away games.

We should be good for weather tonight, with high 50's and only a 10% chance of rain. The home crowd will be electric, and the bats will start this series out on fire setting a tone for what should be an amazing series.

We're backing the OVER in G1 of the NLCS in Phili.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 8

Probable Pitchers: (Likely) Kelly (12-8, 3.39 ERA) vs. Kershaw (13-5, 2.46 ERA)

The 2023 MLB Playoffs kick off with the NLDS. On Saturday, October 7th, at 9:20 PM EDT, catch the game at Dodger Stadium, and you can watch it on TBS. The home team, the Dodgers (100-62, 53-28 at home), will be taking on the Diamondbacks (86-78, 43-40 away), who surprised everyone by beating the Brewers in just 2 games to make it to the NLDS.

Game 1 has the Dodgers as favorites with a -195 Moneyline, and the over/under is set at 7.5 runs. During the regular season, these teams faced each other 13 times, with the Dodgers coming out on top in 8 of those matchups.  

Los Angeles is a pitcher's ballpark for starters. 

We're going to get the experience here with the home side as well. Kershaw has pitched in plenty of postseason games, which includes a lot at home. He's had a ton of success as well and will be going against a Dbacks team that is inexperienced this deep into the playoffs as of late. 

Kelly counters Kershaw and he has been stellar this season as well. He was a huge piece to this rotation and should come in with a lot of confidence.

Look for run scoring chances to be limited both ways and for this game to see a lot of success from both starters. Combine that with how good the bullpens are and this is set for a lower scoring affair. 

Some trends to note, the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Arizona's last 7 games, and on the other side the total has gone UNDER in 8 of the Dodgers' last 10 games. 

We're backing the UNDER in game 1 of this series!

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

Over 7.5

Probable Pitchers: TEX - J. Montgomery-L vs TAM - T. Glasnow-R

The 2023 MLB playoffs kick off at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay with the first Wild Card matchup between the Rays and the Rangers at 3:08 p.m. ET. Tampa Bay enters as the -151 money line favorite with an over/under set at 7.5, and a -1.5 run line at +143. Texas secured a 4-2 regular season record against the Rays in their six meetings.

Despite the Rangers' disappointment for not clinching the division on the final regular season day, they aim to bounce back. Jordan Montgomery (10-11, 3.20 ERA) has been a consistent starter for the Rangers lately, boasting a 2.79 ERA over 67.2 innings in his last two months. On the other hand, Tyler Glasnow (10-7, 3.53 ERA) starts for Tampa Bay, but his recent struggles and command issues could benefit the Rangers. 

Both teams possess potent offenses, with Texas leading the AL in multiple categories (Runs 881) and Tampa Bay close behind (Runs 860). The Rangers' ability to turn the game around quickly can't be underestimated. Tampa Bay's patient lineup may challenge Montgomery early. 

In terms of bullpen strength, Tampa Bay has the edge with a 3.83 bullpen ERA compared to Texas' troublesome 4.77 bullpen ERA.

This is a game where I think the both teams can put some traffic on the bases early and force these two pitchers into some tough spots.

Some trends to note, The total has gone OVER in 4 of Texas' last 5 games when playing on the road against Tampa Bay, also, the betting total has gone OVER in 9 of Tampa Bay's last 10 games, plus we've seen the over hit in Tampa's L5 games at home.

We're on the OVER 7.5 on Tuesday afternoon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play 

OVER 7.5

Probable Pitchers: BOS - C. Sale-L vs BAL - D. Kremer-R

Tonight the Orioles (99-59) face off against the Red Sox (76-82) at 6:35 PM ET at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Orioles are the favorites with a -138 moneyline, while the Red Sox are the underdogs at +117. Baltimore also holds the edge on the run line with -1.5 and +153 odds. The over/under for the game is set at 7.5 runs.

Taking the mound, we have Dean Kremer with a 12-5 (4.25 ERA) record representing the Baltimore Orioles, while the Boston Red Sox will send Chris Sale, who boasts a 6-4 record and a 4.42 ERA.

We’re on the over here as Boston and Baltimore clash. Baltimore has been the story of the season as they are on the cusp of the AL East title. This offense has been scrappy all year and they’ve put together great at bats all season long.

They’re familiar with Chris Sale and should be able to produce a lot of run scoring chances here against him. Boston looks to finish strong themselves and they should be able to do the same against Kremer.

He’s been up and down all year and his issue has been allowing base runners in bunches. This has the makings of a game where both teams should find chances to score.

A trend to note, the total has gone OVER in 8 of Baltimore's last 9 games against Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB ML Play

Under 8.5

On Tuesday at 9:45 PM ET, the Padres will face off against the Giants at Oracle Park, and you can catch the game on MLB Network. According to oddsmakers, the Padres are favored with a -127 ML, while the underdog Giants have +107 ML odds. San Diego also holds the favorite position on the run line (-1.5), and the total runs projected for this matchup is 8.5.

We’re on the under here between two very disappointing teams in 2023.

The Padres and Giants both have underachieved as they are going to miss the postseason this year. 

The Giants are working to allow the young guys to get some playing time as they’ll try to develop into next season. The Padres are riding out their starts, but are expected to cut payroll next year.

Lugo goes for the Padres here, as he’s been solid overall. He comes in with an ERA of just 3.79 and has logged back to back quality starts. Countering him is Harrison. He’s made just six starts but has shown some promise overall. He’s likely going to be a piece of this rotation in the future and they’re looking to him to get some momentum heading into next year. 

Some trends to note, the total has gone UNDER in 10 of San Diego's L15 games against an opponent in the NL. Also, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of San Francisco's last 5 games, plus the UNDER has hit in 4 of the Giants L6 games against an opponent in the National League.

Back the UNDER on Tuesday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Over 9.5

Tonight's highly anticipated MLB game features the Atlanta Braves (100-56) taking on the Chicago Cubs (82-74). First pitch is at 7:20 PM ET at Truist Park in Atlanta, on TBS. The betting odds favor the Braves with a moneyline of -148 and a runline of -1.5, while the total score is set at 9.5 runs.

Probable Pitchers: CHC - J. Steele-L (16-5, 3.32 ERA) vs ATL - B. Elder-R (12-4, 3.63 ERA)

Steele hasn't been great in his L2 starts allowing 6+ runs in each, and last game out Steele endured a challenging outing, surrendering 6 runs on 8 hits while striking out 6 batters without issuing a walk. This performance, spanning just over 3 innings, ultimately led to a loss against the Pirates last Wednesday. He's taken back to back losses for the first time. It doesn't get any easier tonight in Atlanta.

Elder's performance on Wednesday was less than stellar as he conceded 4 runs on 3 hits and walked 5 batters over 3.2 innings against the Phillies, failing to notch a single strikeout. His troubles began early with 3 walks issued in the very first inning, and this marks the second consecutive start in which he's allowed four runs. 

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 6 of the Cubs last 9 games. On the other side the total has gone OVER in 5 of the Braves last 6 games, and 7 of Atlanta's last 9 games at home.

We're backing the OVER 9.5 today in MLB betting action.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play

OVER 7

Probable Pitchers: NYM - J. Quintana-L vs PHI - Z. Wheeler-R

On Saturday, the Phillies are set to grace the turf at Citizens Bank Park as they face off against the Mets. The Phillies enter this matchup as the favored team with odds at -189, while the Mets, playing the underdog role, have odds of +157, making for an exciting potential upset. As for the expected scoring, a total of 7 runs is the benchmark set for this game. We're on the OVER.

Full analysis coming soon.

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 7 of NY Mets' last 10 games played on a Saturday, plus the total has gone OVER in 8 of Philadelphia's last 12 games, and lastly the total has gone OVER in 4 of the Phils L6 games at home.

Back the OVER on Saturday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Saturday 7* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 9.5

Probable Pitchers: ATL - C. Morton-R vs WAS - P. Corbin-L 

The Braves come into this Friday matchup as huge ML favorites vs. the Nats. You can get them at -234. Obviously Vegas thinks they're going to win this one going away tonight. The Nats are +220 on the ML.

The Braves stand at 98-55 (50-28 on the road and 4-6 L10). They're on the road tonight to take on the Washington Nationals 68-86 (33-45 at home and 3-7 L10). Morton goes tonight for the Braves. He's sporting a 14-12 record, 3.66 ERA, and has 182 K's. He'll take on Patrick Corbin with a 10-13 5.00 ERA with 121 K's.

In the latest matchup, Morton had a challenging outing, giving up 6 runs on 6 hits and issuing 5 walks in just 4.2 innings on Sunday. Despite striking out 5, he couldn't secure a win, falling to Miami. On the other side, Corbin's performance didn't tip the scales on Sunday as he went six innings, conceding one run on four hits and two walks, with 2 strikeouts, against Milwaukee. What I love about both these pitchers is more often than not you get quality starts. They keep their teams in games. I'm banking on bounce-back performances from both tonight to see this go UNDER.

A trend to note, the total has gone UNDER in 9 of Washington's last 13 games against Atlanta. 

We're backing the UNDER 9.5 in this one tonight. (Smaller bet if you get 9). My Model points to this being a 5-1, 6-1, 5-2 type of game. I might have just talked myself into a small -1.5 bet on the Braves too! LOL

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 9.5

Probable Pitchers: PHI - A. Nola-R vs ATL - B. Elder-R

The Braves will face the Phillies (82-69, 39-38 on the road, 4-6 L10) on Wednesday at 12:20 PM ET in the last game of a three-game series. The Braves (97-54, 48-26 at home, 5-5 L10) are listed as -149 favorites on the ML, while the underdog Phillies have +126 ML odds to win. Atlanta is favored on the run line (-1.5). The total runs over/under for this game is set at 9.5.

The pitching matchup for this contest features the Braves starting Bryce Elder (12-4), and Aaron Nola (12-9) taking the mound for the Phillies. These two combined to put up 12 runs last night in what was a great game. (If you're a Braves fan)

We’re on the over in the Braves and Phillies. 

Both offenses are deep top to bottom as they battle for postseason spots and seeding.

Atlanta did what they do best and erupted for 9 runs in Tuesdays win as they look to continue to rack up runs. This is the top offense in the MLB as they can put up big numbers in any instance.

These are two starting pitchers that can labor too. Nola goes for Phili and he has struggled with length as of late. The Braves make opposing pitchers work extensively and should have plenty of scoring chances here.

Elder counters and he comes in after allowing 4 runs against Miami last time out. 

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 6 of Philadelphia's last 9 games, plus the total has gone OVER in 4 of Philadelphia's last 5 games when playing as the dog. On the other side we've seen the total go OVER in 12 of Atlanta's last 15 games, plus OVER has hit in 4 of Atlanta's last 6 games against Philadi. Lastly, the total has gone OVER in 6 of Atlanta's last 8 games at home.

Back the OVER in this matinee game on Humpday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8.5

Probable Pitchers: BOS - K. Crawford-R vs TEX - J. Montgomery-L

The Rangers (82-67) find themselves trailing the first-place Astros in the AL West by just 1 1/2 games. Meanwhile, the Red Sox (74-76) played a 3-game set vs. Toronto, where they suffered a three-game losing streak, extending their ongoing slump to 4 losses in a row. 

We’re on the over here between the Sox and Rangers.

Texas is in a full bounce back mode after they were knocked around by the Guardians this past weekend. This offense was held down and it’s very rare to ever see that happened to a deep lineup like this.

They should have plenty of success against Crawford here. He’s just 6-7 on the year, with an ERA in the 4s. He doesn’t give much length and that means we’ll get a Sox pen that is a struggle.

The Rangers pitching has been a mess as well. While Montgomery gets the ball and has been somewhat reliable, they still have continued to get poor pitching performances too to bottom.

We’re expecting a lot of run scoring chances here.

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 10 of Boston's last 11 games against an opponent in the AL West, plus the total has gone OVER in 7 of Texas' last 8 games. Also, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Texas' last 5 games at home, and we've seen the OVER hit in 13 of Texas' last 15 games against an opponent in the AL.

Back the OVER tonight in Arlington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Monday 8* MLB ML Play

SIDE BET: Play it small. Rangers -1.5. I think Boston has mailed it in, and home cooking gets the Rangers right.

OVER 9

We’re on the Cubs and Diamondbacks Over here.

Sunday Night Baseball holds huge implications. The Cubs and Diamondbacks are right in the thick of the Wild Card race entering Sunday night. This has the makings of a game where run scoring chances should be high. 

Nelson gets the ball for the Dbacks, after allowing 6 runs to the Mets last time out. His struggles have been high this year as he is just far too inconsistent. This Cubs lineup will make him work and put together some good at bats early.

Wicks counters and while he’s been good in his 4 starts, this is the first time he’s seeing Arizona. The Dbacks offense is red hot right now and can put up crooked numbers at any time.

Some trends to note, The total has gone OVER in 4 of Arizona's last 5 games, plus the total has gone OVER in 4 of Arizona's last 6 games against an opponent in the NL. The Cubs have hit the 1st Five Innings (F5) Team Total Over in 32 of their last 53 games (+10.93 Units / 18% ROI).

Back the OVER on the O/U line. We see 11+ runs being scored here.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 7

Probable Pitchers: ARI - Z. Gallen-R vs CHC - J. Taillon-R

On Friday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks (73-68, 35-33 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Chicago Cubs (76-65, 40-32 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Zac Gallen (14-7, 3.48 ERA, 186 SO) taking on Jameson Taillon. (7-9, 5.73 ERA, 113 SO)

Neither pitcher has been up to snuff of late. Gallen (14-7) allowed 5 runs on 8 hits and 1 walk while striking out 4 over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday against the O's. On the other side Taillon's performance on Sunday against the Reds didn't impact the outcome. He pitched for 5.2 innings, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits while striking out 7.

Taillon's season stats haven't been impressive. Lately, he's had a tough time with a 7.86 ERA in his last five starts. Overall, this season, he's 7-9 with a 5.73 ERA, a 1.35 WHIP, and 113 strikeouts and 33 walks in 25 starts spanning 127.1 innings.

The Cubs are 14th in MLB for home runs with 170. Their hitters collectively have a 13th-ranked slugging percentage of .420. Chicago's team batting average is .254, ranking them 12th in the league. Overall, the Cubs are the sixth-highest scoring team in MLB with 716 total runs this season.

A trend to note, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Arizona's last 6 games on the road.

Back the OVER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: COL - A. Gomber-L vs TAM - A. Civale-R

On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Colorado Rockies (48-77, 20-44 on the road, and 3-7 L10) and the Tampa Bay Rays (76-51, 41-22 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Austin Gomber (9-9, 5.52 ERA, 82 SO) taking on Aaron Civale. (6-3, 2.44 ERA, 69 SO)

Colorado and Tampa Bay have value here on the over. The Rays send out Aaron Civale, who has been really hit or miss since being traded from Cleveland.

The RH will be seeing the Rockies for the first time in his career and this Colorado offense is scrappy. This is a game where the Rockies can make Civale work and as they’ve been putting up some nice offensive numbers.

Gomber counters here and he owns a 5.52 ERA. His struggles have come from command and allowing a lot of free passes.

This Rays lineup is one of the best at making opposing pitchers work and will have plenty of traffic on the bases here.

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 6 of Colorado's last 7 games against an opponent in the American League, and OVER in 5 of their last 5 games played in August. The Tampa Bay Rays have hit the 1st Five Innings (F5) Team Total Over in 38 of their last 62 games at home (+12.55 Units / 18% ROI), also the total has gone OVER in 8 of Tampa Bay's last 10 games, and 5 of Tampa's last 6 games at home.

Back the OVER today.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Over 9

Probable Pitchers: CHC - D. Smyly-L vs DET - R. Olson-R

We're on the Over here between the Cubs and Tigers on Tuesday. 

Drew Smyly returns to the rotation for the Cubs here and he has been sub par at best. He has an ERA near 5 and has worked out of the bullpen for most of this season. He just hasn't had any sort of consistency which led him into a bullpen spot. 

Olson counters for Detroit, coming in with a 2-5 record. He lasted just 2.2 innings in his previous start, allowing 4 runs to the Twins.

With two mediocre pitchers, this is a game where scoring chances should come from both sides.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Under 9

Probable Pitchers: PHI - Z. Wheeler-R vs WAS - T. Williams-R

We're on the Under here between the Phillies and Nats on Sunday Night Baseball.

We've seen back to back high scoring games in this series, but with this being the night cap on getaway day, expect to see lot more aggressive play from these hitters. 

Wheeler will get the ball for the Phillies after his last start was a beauty. He allowed just 1 run over 7.0 innings of work against a good Blue Jays lineup. He's got an ERA well under 4 at home this year and should be able to keep this lineup down.

Williams counters and he owns a 3.45 ERA over his last 3 starts. He's been able to find a little more consistency and if he can pound the strike zone, he'll produce a lot of swings and misses.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Under 8

Probable Pitchers: DET - M. Manning-R vs CLE - T. Bibee-R

Cleveland will be holding a celebration with Manny Ramirez in the house tonight as they'll induct him into their hall of fame. 

We're playing the under here as these two pitchers have had success this season and against the opposing team.

Bibee has been the biggest surprise of all thus far. He has pitched like a potential superstar in the future. He's striking out batters at an alarming rate and consistently working deep into games.

Manning on the other side comes in with plenty of momentum. He allowed 0 runs over 5.1 innings last time out in what was one of his more impressive starts this year. Against a Cleveland offense that is very sub par, he should be able to have repeat success.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* MLB O/U TOP PLAY

Under 8

Probable Pitchers : BAL - D. Kremer-R vs SDG - B. Snell-L

We're on the Under here as the O's and Padres clash on Wednesday night.

Snell and Kremer both have pitched exceptionally well entering play here.

The LH for the Padres gets the ball after allowing just 2 runs in 6.0 innings of work against the Dbacks. He has been the backbone to this rotation, constantly giving San Diego chances to win.

Kremer counters and the RH owns 11 wins on the year. He tossed 7.0 innings of 2 run ball last time out against the Astros, giving him a lot of momentum coming into this start.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Boston vs Kansas City under

We’re on the under here in the series finale between Boston and KC. Kansas City has given the Sox some fits here in this series. It’s been a tightly played series both ways and we should get some quick innings here on getaway day. 

James Paxton owns an ERA of 3.60 and has logged quality starts in 2 of his last 3 outings. Austin Cox counters as an opener. The Royals bullpen hasn’t been as bad this season as they’ve shown some solid signs. Look for them to produce a lot of swings and misses here in this spot.  

Back the under.  

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 9

Probable Pitchers: CWS - M. Kopech-R vs CLE - N. Syndergaard-R

On Saturday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Chicago White Sox (43-68, 20-39 on the road, and 2-8 L10) and the Cleveland Guardians (54-56, 29-24 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Michael Kopech (4-10, 4.49 ERA, 109 SO) taking on Noah Syndergaard. (1-4, 6.68 ERA, 38 SO)

Cleveland and Chicago played to the Under on Friday night and we're rolling with it again here on Saturday night in Cleveland.

Newly acquired, Noah Syndergaard, gets the ball for the Guards after an impressive debut. He worked into the 6th inning against the Astros, before taking a liner off his leg and being removed for precautionary reasons. Still, he allowed no runs until the bullpen came in and allowed one of his baserunners to score. He's the vet this side needs to step up if they want any chance of making a run at the top spot of the AL Central.

Kopech battled through 5 innings against the Guards last Sunday in a 5-0 loss. He's still pitched well overall in 2 outings against Cleveland this season and should be able to find more success here on Saturday. 

Some trends to note. Hitters for Cleveland have combined to rank 27th in MLB with a team slugging percentage of just .382 this season. Kopech has a 2.25 ERA and a 1 WHIP against the Guardians this season in 12 innings pitched, allowing a .150 batting average over two appearances.

Back the UNDER in this one.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB O/U Play

Chicago vs. Cleveland Under 8.5 

Probable Pitchers: CWS - M. Clevinger-R vs CLE - L. Allen-L

We're on the Under here between Cleveland and Chicago.

These two teams split a weekend series last weekend and will meet again in Cleveland for a 3 game set. These two sides had interesting weeks to say the least. Sitting just 0.5 game out at the time, Cleveland sold off some pieces and it rubbed the clubhouse the wrong way. They were even no hit in Houston in what was eventually a sweep. The morale is down and former Guardian, Mike Clevinger, comes in after shutting them down last weekend.

Logan Allen counters as he looks to avenge his loss to the Sox last weekend. He still pitched well but got zero support in what was eventually a loss.

Some trends to note. The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Cleveland's last 9 games when playing at home against Chi White Sox. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Cleveland's last 5 games against an opponent in the American League.. The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Chi White Sox's last 9 games when playing on the road against Cleveland. The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Chi White Sox's last 10 games against an opponent in the American League Central Division division.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

Cubs/Braves Over 8.5

Probable Pitchers: ATL - M. Fried-L vs CHC - K. Hendricks-R

We're on the Over here between the Cubs and Braves.

The Cubs are on a different level right now. They've climbed to 2.5 games back in the NL Central as they are lighting things up offensively. They took it to the Reds the last three days and lead the MLB in scoring since the break.

Atlanta remains still the best offensively in the league as well. This is a hitters park and we should see the ball flying out here today.

Look for both pitchers to struggle here, as scoring chances should come plenty in this spot.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 10

On Wednesday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the KC Royals (29-74, 14-38 on the road, and 3-7 L10) and the Cleveland Guardians (50-51, 27-24 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Alec Marsh (0-4, 6.20 ERA, 24 SO) taking on Gavin Williams. (1-2, 3.74 ERA, 26 SO) 

Day baseball on getaway day gives us a nice under chance. Cleveland sends out rookie Gavin Williams, who has shown a lot of bright spots thus far into his rookie campaign.

He throws mid to high 90s and has put up a lot of good outings. He takes on a weak Royals lineup, that posted just 1 run in Tuesday's loss. Williams has also already thrown a gem against KC this season. Cleveland's lineup is super inconsistent themselves.

Expect a lot of swings and misses here, as they will jump on a plane right after this game to Chicago. Typically on days like this, players will be overaggressive. With some reserves in for Cleveland too, it adds value to this under.

Some trends to note, the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Kansas City's last 6 games when playing on the road against Cleveland, and it has gone UNDER in 5 of KC's L7 games. The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Cleveland's last 10 games at home.

Play the UNDER 10.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Toronto vs. Los Angeles Under

On Tueday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays (55-45, 28-25 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the LA Dodgers (57-41, 29-16 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Jose Urias (7-6, 5.02 ERA, 72 SO) taking on Chris Bassitt. (10-5, 3.92 ERA,112 SO)

We're on the Under here between the Dodgers and Jays in Game 2. 

Two starting pitchers, with plenty of experience, meet here on Tuesday night. 

Urias gets the ball for the Dodgers and he is a solid 5-1 at home with an ERA just over 2. He's been a totally different pitcher at home versus on the road this year, as he's been incredibly dominant here.

Bassitt is in the midst of a solid year himself. He's been a huge piece to this rotation, consistently giving the Jays chances to win when he takes the hill.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play 

Mets vs. Red Sox Over

Probable Pitchers: Red Sox - B. Bernardino-L vs Mets - C. Carrasco-R

On Sunday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Boston Red Sox (52-47, 27-23 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the NY Mets (46-52, 23-30 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Jordan Lyles (1-11, 6.05 ERA, 73 SO) taking on Luis Severino. (1-4, 6.66 ERA, 40 SO)

Sunday Night Baseball heads into Boston and we're on the Over here.

RH Carlos Carrasco takes the hill for the Mets and he come in with a skyrocketed ERA. He's been extremely inconsistent this season and gave up 4 runs last time out against Chicago. This Boston lineup is putting together some good at bats as of late and should really make him work here.

Bernandino counters and LH will be an opener here. Boston will look to their pen this game, which should give the Mets offense an advantage. New York has found their offensive groove this series and the Boston bullpen is far from overpowering.

Some trends to note. The total has gone OVER in 8 of NY Mets' last 12 games played on a Sunday. The total has gone OVER in 4 of Boston's last 5 games against an opponent in the National League.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 9

Probable Pitchers: KC - J. Lyles-R vs NYY - L. Severino-R

On Sunday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the KC Royals (28-72, 28-28 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the NY Yankees (44-54, 20-27 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Jordan Lyles ( 1-11, 6.05 ERA, 73 SO) taking on Luis Severino. (1-4, 6.66 ERA, 40 SO)

The Yanks go for the sweep on Sunday and we're predicting a lower scoring game here. NY are looking for their 3rd series sweep of the year. They started this series with 5-4 & 5-2 W's. Severino is 2-1 and carries a 4.63 ERA in 4 starts vs. KC. Lyles is 3-2 with a 3.86 ERA in 8 career appearances (7 starts) vs. NYY.

Severino allowed 1 run on 6 hits and 3 walks while striking out 3 over 6 innings in a no-decision Monday (a loss to the Angels). On the other side Lyles pitched 6 scoreless innings against Detroit on Monday, allowing 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 4. Lyles of late has been pitching much better and he's the main factor for this play today. A 3.13 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over his L4 starts (23 innings). 

Some trends to note, The total has gone UNDER in 10 of KC's L14 games, plus the total has gone UNDER in 7 of KC's L10 games against an opponent in the American League. On the other side the total has gone UNDER in 6 of the Yankees' L8 games vs. a team from the AL Central.

Expect the offenses to be held in check.

Back the UNDER 9 on Sunday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

PHI/CLE Under

Probable Pitchers: PHI - R. Suarez-L vs CLE - G. Williams-R

On Friday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (52-44, 26-25 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Cleveland Guardians (47-49, 24-22 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Ranger Suarez (2-4, 3.84 ERA, 62 SO) taking on Gavin Williams. (1-2, 3.94 ERA, 23 SO)

We’re on the Under here in Cleveland, as the Phils and Guards battle it out. Cleveland sensational rookie Gavin Williams takes the hill and he’s been as advertised. Even when he’s struggled he’s been able to minimize the damage and that is huge for this under. He throws mid to upper 90s and faces an inconsistent offense in Phili. Look for him to keep these hitters off balanced and guessing up there tonight.

Ranger Suarez counters with an era of just 3.84. He should have plenty of success against this inconsistent Cleveland offense as well, who like Phili, you just don’t know what you’re going to get out of them.

Some trends to note, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Cleveland's L5 games at home, and the Guardians Game Total has gone Under in 50 of their L86 games (+14.25 Units / 15% ROI). Also, the total has gone UNDER in 7 of Philadelphia's last 8 games against the AL.

Back the under.

Good luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh Under 9

Probable Pitchers: CLE - X. Curry-R vs PIT - Q. Priester-R

Cleveland and Pittsburgh meet on Monday and this is an Under game.

The Guardians were swept away in Texas and now throw out a bullpen game here. While it was the bullpen that imploded in Texas, they still have one of the top pens in the MLB. We also typically see bullpen games be lower scoring as it's tough for the opposition to get a feel with so many different moving pieces. Curry can give Cleveland a few innings here to set the tone.

Pittsburgh counters with Priester, who is making his MLB debut. Theres not much on him for the opposition to focus on and this Cleveland offense is already inconsistent enough.

Some trends to note. The Cleveland Guardians have hit the Game Total Under in 51 of their last 88 games. The Pittsburgh Pirates have hit the Team Total Under in 49 of their last 82 games

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Mets vs. Dbacks Over

On July 6th we have a nice NL betting matchup between the NY Mets (40-46, 20-27 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (50-37, 24-22 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Carlos Carrasco (2-3, 5.94 ERA, 39 SO) taking on Ryne Nelson. (5-4, 5.67 ERA, 64 SO)

We're on the Over here as the Mets and Dbacks conclude their series. The Mets have caught fire as they continue to find ways to win. This time, it was dramatic 2-1 win on Wednesday as they were down to their final strike.

Carlos Carrasco has been a struggle in this rotation and has continued to give up the big inning when he takes the mound. Ryne Nelson has shared similar fate as well. Both starting pitchers tend to let up a lot of hits and we should get plenty of scoring chances in this one.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1-1 in Mets last 6 vs. National League West. Over is 4-1 in Mets last 5 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Over is 5-2-1 in the last 8 meetings in Arizona.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: PHI - A. Nola-R vs TAM - Z. Eflin-R

On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (44-39, 22-23 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Tampa Bay Rays (57-30, 34-10 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Aaron Nola (7-5, 4.51 ERA, 102 SO) taking on Zach Eflin. (9-3, 3.29 ERA, 91 SO)

Philadelphia and Tampa Bay have two of the top offenses in the MLB. They meet here on July 4th and we're on the over.

This is a game where we should see plenty of scoring chances both ways. The Rays and Phillies sit near the top in so many offensive categories as they not only make pitchers work, but they can hit the long ball a lot.

Nola has been good at times, but also has shown he is vulnerable. He allowed 4 runs to the Cubs last start and comes in with lack of confidence after that outing.

Expect both starting pitchers to have to work a lot, benefitting this Over. 

Some trends to note, the Over is 5-0 in Rays last 5 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game, the Over is 4-0-1 in Rays last 5 during game 1 of a series, the Over is 4-0 in Rays last 4 games following an off day, the Over is 5-0 in Rays last 5 interleague home games, and finally the Over is 7-1 in Rays last 8 home games with the total set at 7-8.5.

The OVER is 5-2 in these 2 clubs L7 vs. each other! 

Back the OVER on Tuesday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Kansas City Under 9

On Thursday we have a nice AL Central betting matchup between the Cleveland Guardians (39-40, 19-21 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Kansas City Royals (22-58, 10-30 at home, and 2-8 L10). On the bumps we get Shane Bieber (5-4 3.51 ERA, 69 SO) taking on Zack Greinke(1-8, 5.31 ERA, 61 SO)

Cleveland leads 13-0 as this pick is being typed on Wednesday night. With all the runs scored and a quick turnaround tomorrow, we're on the Under with two vet pitchers.

Both Bieber and Greinke are vets who are super familiar with the opposing teams. With the quick day game on getaway day, both teams will produce a lot of swings and misses. This is the kind of game where we will see quick innings and both starting pitchers work deep into the game.

Some trends to note. Under is 27-13 in Guardians last 40 games vs. a right-handed starter. Under is 6-2 in Guardians last 8 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Over is 7-3 in Royals last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

Under 8.5

Probable Pitchers: HOU - H. Brown-R vs LAD - T. Gonsolin-R

On Sunday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Houston Astros (41-36, 19-17 on the road, and 3-7 L10) and the LA Dodgers (43-33, 24-14 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Hunter Brown (6-4, 3.78 ERA, 90 SO) taking on Tony Gonsolin (4-2, 2.92 ERA, 43 SO)

After a wild couple of games, the Dodgers and Astros meet in the series finale on Sunday Night Baseball. We’re on the Under with Hunter Brown and Tony Gonsolin getting the call here. Both starting pitchers have had a ton of success here in 2023 already as they’ve been huge pieces to their rotations. 

Brown had his first bad start in a while last time out, but still even managed to get through 5.2 to give the Astros some length. He’s consistently given them chances to win when he takes the mound and should produce a lot of swings and misses here.  Countering him is Gonsolin. The RH owns an ERA of just 2.92 and has thrived thus far. Like Brown, he comes in off a bad start, but still worked deep into the game to give the Dodgers a chance. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Under is 15-7-2 in the last 24 meetings, the UNDER is also 5-1 in Astros last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and 13-3 in Astros last 16 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. For LA, the Under is 4-1-1 in Dodgers last 6 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, and 4-1 in Dodgers last 5 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Twins vs. Tigers Over

On Saturday, we have a nice AL Central betting matchup between the Minnesota Twins (39-38, 15-19 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Detroit Tigers (32-42, 17-19 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Pablo Lopez (3-4, 4.40 ERA, 110 SO) taking on Reese Olson. (0-2, 5.59 ERA, 19 SO)

Minnesota and Detroit clash in game 2 of their series and we’re on the Over here. We get two starting pitchers who have been a struggle here in 2023.

Pablo Lopez goes for the Twins, sitting with an ERA of 4.40 and a 3-4 record. He’s allowed 4 runs and 3 runs in his most recent outings, as both Boston and Milwaukee got to him early.

Countering him is Reese Olson. Olson comes in with a 5.59 ERA and has just three starts under his belt. He’s had command issues and isn’t going to overpower anyone, which certainly benefits us here on this Over.

Some trends to note. Over is 9-4 in Twins last 13 overall. Over is 4-1 in Twins last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter.Over is 5-1 in Tigers last 6 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

Oakland vs. Cleveland Over 8

On Tuesday, we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Oakland Athletics (19-56, 10-27 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Cleveland Guardians (34-38, 17-17 at home, and 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Paul Blackburn (0-0, 3.48 ERA, 23 SO) taking on Gavin Williams. (Major League Debut)

Cleveland welcomes their top prospect, Gavin Williams, on Wednesday night. This is a case where he will have some nerves behind him, which will benefit the Over.

Blackburn counters and he has been mediocre at best. This Cleveland offense is finding some rhythm and they will not only make him work, but put traffic on the bases. They had 10 hits once again on Tuesday and they should find similar results here.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings. Over is 8-3 in Athletics last 11 Wednesday games.Over is 5-2 in Guardians last 7 games following a win.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Arizona Under 8

On Friday, we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks (41-28, 21-17 at home and 6-4 L10) and the Cleveland Guardians (32-36, 15-19 on the road, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Tristan Mckenzie (0-1, 4.50 ERA, 15 SO) taking on Zach Gallen. (7-2, 3.09 ERA, 93 SO)

Cleveland salvaged a series against the Padres, while the Dbacks come in off a loss to the Phillies on Thursday night. We're taking the under here with two vet pitchers on the hill.

Mckenzie was knocked around a bit against the Astros last time out, but he still is working his way back from injury. He has no limits on him now and this is a lineup where he can produce a lot of swings and misses.

Gallen should have a lot of success against this inconsistent offense from Cleveland. They were shutout on Wednesday and followed that up with 8 runs on Thursday. You never know what you'll get from them, but Gallen has the ability to really lock them down.

Some trends to note. Under is 7-3 in Diamondbacks last 10 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record. Under is 7-3-1 in Diamondbacks last 11 home games vs. a right-handed starter.. Under is 44-19-1 in Guardians last 64 vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 34-15-2 in Guardians last 51 overall. Under is 34-15-2 in Guardians last 51 on grass. 

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* MLB O/U TOP PLAY

Guardians vs. Padres Under

Probable Pitchers: CLE - T. Bibee-R vs SDG - J. Musgrove-R

Cleveland and San Diego clash and we're on the Under here.

Cleveland will travel to the west coast for a road trip and they send out Tanner Bibee, who has been one of their best rookies this season. He's stepped into the rotation and come up big on many instances. Last time out he allowed just 2 runs against the Red Sox as he continues to put together solid outings.

Musgrove counters as he has put together 3 straight stellar outings. He has allowed 2 runs combined and is 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA in this span.

Some trends to note. Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in San Diego. Under is 11-5-1 in Guardians last 17 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. Under is 11-5-2 in Guardians last 18 during game 1 of a series. Under is 35-16-2 in Guardians last 53 overall.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Yankees vs. Red Sox Over 

Probable Pitchers: BOS - B. Bello-R vs NYY - C. Schmidt-R

The Yankees and Red Sox conclude their series on Sunday Night Baseball and we're on the Over here.

This the makings of a classic New York/Boston game as both starting pitchers are hittable. This should feature a lot of run scoring opportunities and the game should drag on here.

Bello and Schmidt both have been touched up this season on numerous occasions. Bello owns a 3.57 ERA on the road and is 0-3 in his last 3 starts. 

Schmidt is 1-5 inside Yankee Stadium with an ERA of 4.66

Some trends to note. Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in New York. Over is 29-14 in Red Sox last 43 games following a loss. Over is 35-17 in Red Sox last 52 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 8.5

Probable Pitchers: HOU - B. Bielak-R vs CLE - S. Bieber-R

On Sunday we get the Houston Astros (37-28, 19-14 on the road, 5-5 L10) taking on the Cleveland Guardians (30-34, 15-17 at home, 6-4 L10) in a nice AL gambling matchup. On the bumps we get Brandon Bielak (3-2, 3.35 ERA, 30 SO) taking on Shane Bieber (4-3, 3.57 ERA, 55 SO). 

In his most recent game, Bielak (3-2) gave up 3 runs on 10 hits and 1 walk over 6.2 innings on Monday. He managed to strike out 2 batters and secured a victory against the Jays. With this performance, his ERA stands at 3.35, and he has recorded a total of 30 strikeouts and 13 walks in 37.2 innings pitched. In Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox, Bieber's performance didn't play a significant role as he allowed only 1 run on 5 hits and a 1 walk across 5.2 innings. He managed to strike out 2 batters. Currently, he holds a 3.57 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and an impressive 55:22 K:BB ratio in his 80.2 innings pitched.

This is going to be an early game on Sunday, baseball players internal clocks are set for games later in the day. I'm expecting the bats to suffer. Look for a sleeper of a game.

Back the UNDER on Sunday. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Written before Friday HOU/CLE game start.

UNDER 8.5

Probable Pitchers: HOU - J. France-R vs CLE - T. Mckenzie-R

On Saturday we get the Houston Astros (36-27, 18-13 on the road, 5-5 L10) taking on the Cleveland Guardians (29-33, 14-16 at home, 6-4 L10) in a nice AL gambling matchup. On the bumps we get J.P. France (1-1, 3.44 ERA, 29 SO) taking on Triston McKenzie (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 10 SO).

We get two starting pitchers who should find a lot of success here.

Mckenzie returned from injury in a big way striking out 10 over 5.0 innings of work against the Twins last Sunday. He was on a pitch count, but didn't shy away from attacking the zone and really making the Twins offense work. He looked like the Mckenzie of old and should come out here and attack the zone after a long game Friday.

France will do the same. He continues to give the Astros chances to win and this is a case where he can produce a lot of swings and misses.

Scoring chances should be at a premium here.

Some trends to note, the Under is 4-1 in Astros last 5 overall, is 4-1 in Astros last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter, and is 12-3 in Astros last 15 road games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Under is 14-3 in Guardians last 17 home games vs. a right-handed starter, plus the Under is 20-5-2 in Guardians last 27 home games.

Finally, we've seen the UNDER hit in 11 of the last 15 games played on the road for Houston.  

Back the UNDER. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB O/U Play

(Written before Friday's TEX/TB Game)

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: TEX - N. Eovaldi-R vs TAM - T. Bradley-R

On Saturday we get the Texas Rangers (40-21, 19-12 on the road, 7-3 L10) taking on the Tampa Bay Rays (46-19, 29-6 at home, 7-3 L10) in a nice American league gambling matchup. On the bumps we get Nathan Eovaldi (8-2, 2.24 ERA, 77 SO) taking on Taj Bradley (4-2, 3.60 ERA, 48 SO).

The Rays and Rangers have value on the over.

Both offenses sit atop the MLB as they are 1-2 when it comes to scoring runs.

The Rangers average well over 6 runs per game while the Rays sit right next to them at near 6 themselves.

This is the kind of game where both teams can produce run scoring opportunities. We backed the Over on Friday night and these two teams put up a combined 11 runs in a game where scoring chances came almost every inning.

These are two veteran offenses that can put up a crooked number at any point.

Some trends to note, the Over is 35-14-2 in Rangers last 51 during game 2 of a series, and is 7-3 in Rangers last 10 Saturday games. On the other side the Over is 9-3 in Rays last 12 home games, and 9-3 in Rays last 12 on turf, lastly it is 4-1 in Rays last 5 Saturday games.

Back the OVER on Saturday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: TEX - A. Heaney-L vs TAM - T. Glasnow-R

On Friday we get the Texas Rangers (40-21, 19-12 on the road, 7-3 L10) taking on the Tampa Bay Rays (46-19, 29-6 at home, 7-3 L10) in a nice American league gambling matchup. On the bumps we get Andrew Heaney (4-3, 4.03 ERA, 60 SO) taking on Tyler Glasnow (0-0, 3.72 ERA, 14 SO).

Texas and Tampa headline two of the top teams in the American League thus far into the season. They've done it with their ability to get some big hits and these offenses are clicking on all cylinders.

Texas comes in with 6.33 runs per game, which ranks first in the MLB. Tampa Bay is right behind them in 2nd with 5.72 runs per game themselves. 

Look for both offenses to come out and put some run scoring chances up early in this one to set the tone. Glasnow continues to work back from injury and Heaney comes in with an ERA of over 4. 

Some trends to note, the Over is 16-5 in Rangers last 21 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. On the other side the Over is 5-0 in Rays last 5 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and 5-1 in Rays last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter, lastly the Over is 9-3 in Rays last 12 home games.

Back the OVER in this one.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: MIN - L. Varland-L vs TAM - Z. Eflin-R 

On Tuesday we get the Minnesota Twins (31-29, 13-15 on the road, 5-5 L10) taking on the Tampa Bay Rays (43-19, 26-6 at home, 6-4 L10) in AL gambling action. On the bumps we get Louie Varland (3-1, 3.51 ERA, 39 SO) taking on Zach Eflin (7-1, 3.30 ERA, 57 SO).

Minnesota and Tampa Bay begin their weekday set and we're on the Over here between these two sides.Both offenses have had a lot of success thus far and they're producing plenty of run scoring opportunities.

Varland gets the ball for the Twins, coming in with an ERA of over 3. He got 8 runs of support last time out and owns a 3.57 ERA on the road.

Eflin counters as he comes in after allowing 3 runs last time out. Sitting with a 3.30 ERA, the RH will have his work cut out for him against a lineup that loves to make pitchers work. 

Look for run scoring opportunities both ways, especially early.

Some trends to note, the Over is 4-1 in Twins last 5 games following a loss, and 5-2 in Twins last 7 during game 1 of a series. Head to head the Over is 37-13-2 in the last 52 between these two. On the other side the Over is 6-0 in Rays last 6 home games vs. a right-handed starter, 10-1 in Rays last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning record, and finally the OVER is 6-1 in Rays last 7 overall.

Back the OVER 8. It is 20-4-2 in the last 26 games in Tampa Bay.

OVER 8.5

Probable Pitchers: TAM - S. Mcclanahan-L vs BOS - B. Bello-R 

On Monday we get the Tampa Bay Rays (42-19, 16-13 on the road, 6-4 L10) taking on the Boston Red Sox (30-29, 17-15 at home, 4-6 L10) in AL East gambling action. On the bumps we get Shane McClanahan taking on Brayan Bello.

Any time Tampa and Boston meet it turns into quite the game. Expect plenty of run scoring opportunities here in this one Monday afternoon.

Bello gets the ball for Boston and he's seen 2 of his last 3 starts hit the Over. He threw just 4.0 innings last time out and takes on the best offense in the MLB. Tampa Bay makes opposing pitchers work and they will have plenty of run scoring chances.

Countering him is the LH Shane Mcclanahan. He owns a 3.03 ERA on the road as he's been touched up when pitching away from Tampa. Boston's offense has shown some solid signs as of late and they will get their chances in this one to put runs on the board. 

Some trends to note, with the Rays and Rox the OVER is 20-9-1 in the L30 matchups in Boston. The OVER is also 10-2 in Rays L12 games following a win, and 14-3 in Rays L17 vs. a team with a winning record. On the other side the OVER is 7-2-1 in Red Sox L10 during game 1 of a series, and 14-4 in Red Sox L18 vs. American League East.

Back the OVER 8.5. It's 4-1 in these 2 teams' L5 head to head meetings.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 9

Probable Pitchers: NYY - D. German-R vs LAD - B. Miller-R

Sunday we get the (35-25, 16-12 on the road, and 5-5 L10) New York Yankees taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers. (35-24, 20-9 at home, 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Domingo German (3-3, 3.98 ERA, 53 SO) taking on Bobby Miller. (2-0, 1.64 ERA, 9 SO)

These two combined for 9 runs on Saturday, and 12 runs on Friday.

In Monday's 10-4 victory against the Mariners, Domingo German showcased an improvement in his performance, bringing his record to 3-3. During the game, he conceded 4 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks across 6.1 innings while striking out 4 batters. Notably, this marked German's first start since May 16, as he had recently completed a 10-game suspension for employing a foreign substance on the pitching mound. In Monday's 6-1 W over the Nats, Miller (2-0) grabbed a win. He limited the opposition to just 1 run on 4 hits and 1 walk across 6 innings while striking out 4 batters. Notably, this was Miller's second consecutive quality start.

Some trends to note, Over is 5-1 in Yankees L6 overall, 5-1 in Yankees last 6 games following a win, and 5-1 in Yankees L6 interleague road games vs. a team with a winning record. For the Dodgers, the Over is 4-0 in their L4 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, it's also 5-0 in Dodgers L5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and 10-1-1 in Dodgers L12 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record.

I'm expecting to see some long ball on Sunday night.

Back the OVER 9.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: SEA - B. Miller-R vs TEX - N. Eovaldi-R 

Sunday we get the (29-29) Seattle Mariners taking on the Texas Rangers. (37-20). On the bumps we get Bryce Miller (3-2, 3.00 ERA, 31 SO) taking on Nathan Eovaldi. (7-2, 2.42 ERA, 70 SO)

On Monday, Miller (3-2) endured a defeat at the hands of the Yankees, surrendering 8 runs on 11 hits during his 4.2 innings of work. He managed to strike out 3 batters. Eovaldi (7-2) secured the victory by pitching 5 scoreless innings against Detroit, giving up only 4 hits and 3 walks. He struck out 4, contributing to the team's 5-0 W.

We've had 24 runs scored in the first two games of this series already, and I don't see anything that's going to make me think we'll see a low scoring game here on Sunday. The Rangers have scored the most runs in MLB (364), and they're leading in a ton of offensive categories. If they're not leading, they're top 5. These guys can flat out mash.

Some trends to note, the Over is 7-3 in Mariners last 10 games following a loss, and the Over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Texas. Also, the Over is 6-1 in Rangers last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning record, 6-1-1 in Rangers last 8 home games vs. a right-handed starter, and 6-1 in Rangers last 7 home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

Back the OVER 8.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Guardians vs. Twins Under 8

Probable Pitchers: CLE - T. Bibee-R vs MIN - P. Lopez-R

Cleveland and Minnesota open a 4 game series as the AL Central foes meet inside Target Field.

We're on the Under here as both teams come in off good performances, but now will switch to a pitcher's friendly ballpark.

Tanner Bibee has been a solid rookie for the Guardians thus far. He's come up and produced a lot of swings and misses and continues to get better and better with each start. He allowed just 1 run in 6.0 innings of work against St. Louis last time out, while striking out 9.

Lopez counters and brings in a 2-1 home record. He's made one career start against Cleveland, in a win that was 3-1.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 8.5

Probable Pitchers: MIL - F. Peralta-R vs TOR - K. Gausman-R

On Thursday we get the Milwaukee Brewers (29-26, 13-14 on the road, 5-5 L10) taking on the Toronto Blue Jays (29-27, 14-10 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Freddy Peralta (5-4, 4.64 ERA, 58 SO) for the Brewers, and Kevin Gausman (3-3, 3.03 ERA, 89 SO) for the Blue Jays.

Two veterans get the ball here and we're on the Under.

Freddy Peralta has to step things up a bit and this is the perfect spot for him. A day game on getaway day should see a lot more aggressive swings from the Jays. He allowed 4 ER runs last time out in a blowout game and is looking to rebound.

Gausman counters after a solid 1 run performance where he went 5.1 innings. He is 1-0 in his last 3 starts with an ERA of just 2.21.

Look for both team to struggle here and produce a lot of quick innings. 

Some trends to note, Head to head the Under is 3-0-1 in the L4 between these two clubs in Toronto. Under is 3-0-1 in Brewers L4 interleague games. Under is 30-14-3 in Brewers L47 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Under is 4-1-1 in Blue Jays L6 interleague games, and 3-1-1 in Blue Jays L5 overall.

Back the UNDER 8.5

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: TAM - S. Mcclanahan-L vs CHC - K. Hendricks-R

On Tuesday we get the Tampa Bay Rays (39-17, 13-11 on the road, 6-4 L10) taking on the Chicago Cubs (23-30, 14-15 at home, and 4-6 L10) in Interleague play. On the bumps we get Shane McClanahan (8-0, 1.97 ERA, 75 SO) for the Rays, and Kyle Hendricks (0-1, 6.23 ERA, 5 SO) for the Cubbies.

The Cubs are only getting good starts when Marcus Stroman is on the hill. Otherwise, this rotation has had so many issues. 

Kyle Hendricks owns a 6.23 ERA after allowing 5 runs (3 earned) in his first start of the season. He has struggled with command dating back to last year and this Rays offense is itching to get back out there after having to deal with Stroman Monday.

Chicago's offense is no pushover either. Averaging over 4.5 runs per game, they should get chances against Mcclanahan, who owns a 3.00 ERA on the road.

Some trends to note, the Over is 5-0 in Rays last 5 during game 2 of a series, 4-0 in Rays last 4 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and 6-1 in Rays last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Over is 7-1 in Cubs last 8 interleague games, 6-1 in Cubs last 7 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and finally the OVER is 10-1 in Cubs last 11 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.

Back the OVER 8. The Over is 5-2 in these two clubs L7, and 4-1 in the L5 in Chicago.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: TAM - T. Bradley-R vs CHC - M. Stroman-R

On Monday we get the Tampa Bay Rays (39-16, 13-10 on the road, 7-3 L10) taking on the Chicago Cubs (22-30, 13-15 at home, and 3-7 L10) in Interleague play. On the bumps we get Taj Bradley (3-1, 4.44 ERA, 34 SO) for the Rays, and Marcus Stroman (4-4, 2.95 ERA, 54 SO) for the Cubbies.

Both of these offenses have been solid here in 2023. Coming into play on Monday, the Cubs are putting up 4.65 runs per game while the Rays are at 6.09 themselves. 

Tampa Bay has been one of the best offenses in the entire major leagues, sitting near the top in almost every offensive category. 

Look for both teams to put runners on and make the opposing pitcher work early in this one. Stroman has been knocked around a few times already this season, while Bradley comes in after allowing 4 runs in a 20-1 loss to the Jays. 

Some trends to note, the Over is 9-0 in Rays L9 games following a win, 5-0 in Rays L5 interleague games, Over is 10-1 in Rays L11 games with the total set at 7-8.5. On the other side the Over is 7-0 in Cubs last 7 interleague games, is 4-0 in Cubs L4 home games, and is 9-1-1 in Cubs last 11 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record.

Back the OVER 8. The Over is 4-1 in these two clubs L5 in Chicago.

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: CIN - G. Ashcraft-R vs CHC - D. Smyly-L

The Reds (22-29, 8-15 on the road and 4-6 L10) take on the Cubs on Sunday (22-28, 13-13 at home, and 3-7 L10). 

We're on the OVER here Sunday. Loving the fact that these two clubs put up 13 runs on Saturday. We expect more of the same on Sunday.

In his last appearance Ashcraft (2-3) suffered a loss on Tuesday when the Reds were defeated 8-5 by the Cardinals. He pitched for 5 innings, giving up 7 runs on 10 hits. Ashcraft managed to strike out 5 batters. On the opposing team, Drew Smyly (5-1) secured a victory against the Mets on Tuesday. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks, while striking out five opponents during his five innings on the mound.

Some trends to note, Over is 4-0 in Reds last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter, and 5-1 in Reds last 6 vs. a team with a losing record, plus the 4-1 in Reds last 5 overall. On the other side the Over is 5-1 in Cubs last 6 during game 3 of a series, and 9-2-1 in Cubs last 12 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: TOR - C. Bassitt-R vs MIN - P. Lopez-R

Saturday the (27-25, 14-16 on the road, 3-7 L10) Toronto Blue Jays take on the Minnesota Twins (26-25, 15-11 at home, 3-7 L10). The pitchers are Chris Bassitt (5-3, 3.03 ERA, 52 SO) taking on Palbo Lopez (2-3, 3.90 ERA, 75 SO). The Jays won 3-1 on Friday, and even with the teams only combining for 13 hits we're going to jump on the OVER in this game on Saturday. The number is too low.

Both pitchers haven't been overly impressive of late. Last game out In Monday's game vs. the Rays, Bassitt (5-3) suffered a loss after allowing 6 runs (2 earned) on 7 hits and a walk. He pitched for 6.1 innings, striking out 4 batters in the process. On the other side Lopez (2-3) gave up 2 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks during his six-plus innings of pitching on Sunday. He recorded 9 strikeouts but unfortunately suffered a loss against the Angels.

Some trends to note, the Over is 6-1 in Blue Jays L7 overall, it's also 6-1 in Blue Jays last 7 vs. a team with a winning record, and 10-2 in Blue Jays last 12 road games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Over is 5-2 in Twins L7 vs. American League East, and head to head the Over is 6-2 in the L8 between these two clubs.

Between these 2 clubs we have 11 guys with OPS' over .750. (Bichette, Kiermaier, Chapman, Guerrero, and Belt for the Jays, and Garlick, Gallo, Kirilloff, Polanco, Jeffers, and Buxton for the Twins). The ball will be getting smacked all over the park on Saturday. Both clubs are in the TOP 15 in MLB in HR's.

Back the OVER 8.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8.5

BOS - C. Sale-L vs ARI - B. Pfaadt-R

Boston (26-24, 11-13 on the road, 4-6 L10) and Arizona (29-21, 14-10 at home, 7-3 L10) meet on Friday night. On the bumps we get Sale (4-2, 5.01 ERA, 62 SO) vs. Pfaadt. (0-1, 7.65 ERA, 14 SO)

Pitching good but not great yet is Sale, who comes into this one with a 5.01 ERA 1.17 WHIP and 62:13 K:BB. He's slowly coming along, but this isn't vintage Sale yet. On the other side we get Rookie Brandon Pfaadt. Last game out Pfaadt's performance on Saturday had no impact on the final decision as he gave up 3 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks during his 5.1 innings against the Bucs. He managed to strike out 3. He's hardly lighting the big on fire with a 14:8 K/BB and 7.56 ERA through 20 innings of work in the Majors.

Some trends to note, the Over is 10-3-1 in Red Sox last 14 games with the total set at 7-8.5, 20-8 in Red Sox last 28 vs. a team with a winning record, and 24-10 in Red Sox L34 games following a loss. On the other side the over is 17-4-1 in Diamondbacks L22 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record, 4-1 in their L5 vs. a team with a winning record, and we've seen the over hit to the tune of 7-2-1 in their L10 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter.

When you have 8x guys with an OPS over .750 (Turner, Devers, Verdugo, Yoshida, Gurriel, Carroll, Marte, & Walker) who are all playing at the top of their game. Expect runs.

Back the OVER 8.5. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: TEX - N. Eovaldi-R vs PIT - R. Hill-L 

Tuesday we get the (29-18, 13-10 on the road, 6-4 L10) Texas Rangers taking on the Pittsburgh Pirates. (25-22, 12-11 at home, 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Nathan Eovaldi (5-2, 2.83 ERA, 61 SO) taking on Rich Hill (4-3, 3.80 ERA, 43 SO). 

Texas and Pittsburgh have been two of the more surprise teams in the MLB this season. They continue their series here on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. 

The Pirates won 6-4 in the opener and we get two pitchers who are very contact heavy.

Eovaldi owns a career 10.80 ERA against the Pirates and after a hot start to the season, he will have to deal with a Pirates lineup that makes opposing pitchers work. 

Hill counters and the vet is one who isn't going to strike many people out. Texas has seen him 7 times throughout his career and a lot of these hitters are familiar with him,. 

Some trends to note, the Over is 7-0-1 in Rangers L8 overall, Over is 7-0 in Rangers last 7 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record, and the Over is 6-0 in Rangers L6 games vs. a left-handed starter. On the other side the Over is 4-0 in Pirates L4 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Head to head the Over is 4-0 in the L4 games between TEX/PIT.

Back the OVER on Tuesday. We've seen the over hit in 6 of the last 7 games between these two clubs.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 9.5

Probable Pitchers: T. Houck-R vs LAA - J. Barria-R

On Monday we have the Boston Red Sox (26-21, 11-10 road, 5-5 L10) on the road to take on the LA Angels (25-23, 12-10 at home, 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Tanner Houck vs. Jaime Barria. 

We're on the Under here between these two teams on Monday.

Tanner Houck gets the ball and he simply has to be better than he has been. Someone in this Boston rotation has to step up and he's got the capabilities to. The Angels offense has been inconsistent and he should have some success if he can locate his fastball.

Barria has been someone who can give the Angels a little bit of a spot start out of the pen. He won't give them a lot of length, but he has come out and pitched well as an opener. He's allowed just 5 runs overall this season and is pitching with a lot of confidence right now. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Under is 6-1-1 in the L8 meetings in LA. Also, Under is 3-1-2 in Angels L6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and 4-1 in their L5 home games, and 2-0-2 in Angels last 4 games with the total set at 9-10.5. On the other side the Under is 4-0 in Red Sox L4 road games, and finally we see the UNDER is 4-1-1 in Red Sox L6 road games vs. a righty starter.

Back the UNDER 9.5. Between these 2 clubs the UNDER is 11-5-2 in the L18 meetings.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Monday 7* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: MIL - F. Peralta-R vs TAM - J. Beeks-L

The Milwaukee Brewers (24-21, 11-13 on the road, 4-6 L10) are in Tampa to take on the Rays (34-13, 21-3 at home, 5-5 L10) on Sunday. On the bumps we get Freddy Peralta vs. Jalen Beeks.

Peralta's record dropped to 4-3 after Monday's 18-1 loss to the Cardinals, giving up 6 runs on 6 hits and 5 walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out 4 batters. Peralta struggled from the start, allowing a 3-run homer to Arenado in the 1st inning. Peralta's command issues make it a favorable situation to bet on the OVER. His ERA now stands at 4.11, with 50 strikeouts.

Beeks has been average recently, with a 1-2 record and a 4.70 ERA, tallying 19 strikeouts. He will make his 5th start of the season, but hasn't pitched more than 3 innings so far. Over 22 innings, he holds a 4.91 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and an 18:10 K:BB ratio.

Some trends to note, the Over is 4-1 in Brewers last 5 during game 3 of a series, plus it's 12-5-2 in Brewers last 19 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record, and 11-5-2 in Brewers last 18 vs. AL East. On the other side the Over is 4-0 in Rays last 4 games following a win, and its 5-1 in Rays last 6 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game./p>

Back the OVER, we've see it hitting 4 out of the L6 between these two.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Over 8.5

Probable Pitchers: K. Freeland-L vs TEX - J. Gray-R

The Rockies take on the Rangers on Saturday. 

Gray (3-1) dominated Oakland on Saturday with 8 scoreless innings, allowing just 3 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5. On Sunday, Freeland (4-4) pitched 6 shutout innings against the Phillies, giving up 4 hits and 1 walk with 8 strikeouts for the win. Both pitchers showcased impressive control and effectiveness. So now you're asking why am I on the OVER?

Some trends to note, the OVER is 4-0 in Rangers last 4 overall, 5-0 in Rangers last 5 interleague home games, 5-0 in Rangers last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter, and lastly the OVER is 6-0 in Rangers last 6 home games. 

These two teams can score some runs. They put up 9 combined on Friday, and the Rocks were primarily kept in check. The Rangers are first in MLB at just over 6 RPG. Neither bullpen is overly special.

Back the OVER 8.5 on Saturday. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 8

Probable Pitchers: Ober (R) vs. Kershaw (L)

We won with the Dodgers on the ML last night, and are looking to go back-to-back in this series on Tuesday. The Twins visit the Dodgers for Game 2. Starters are Bailey Ober (2-0, 1.85 ERA, 22 SO) vs. Clayton Kershaw (6-2, 2.36 ERA, 56 SO).

The Twins come in 23-19, 9-11 on the road, and 5-5 in their L10. Meanwhile the Dodgers are 27-15, 16-6 at home, and 8-2 in their L10. Max Muncy's two home runs propelled the Dodgers to a thrilling 9-8 victory over the Twins in a 12-inning game on Monday.

Kershaw won his last game with an 8-1 victory over the Brewers, giving up just 1 run on 5 hits in 7 innings. He had 8 strikeouts and no walks, maintaining a strong performance this season with a 2.36 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 56:10 K:BB ratio in 49.2 innings. Despite his recent loss of his Mother, Kershaw will be starting against the Twins on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Ober had a no-decision against San Diego, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits in 6 innings with 6 strikeouts and no walks. He has a 22:6 K:BB ratio over 24.1 innings pitched. 

Some trends to note, Under is 4-1-2 in Twins L7 road games vs. a left-handed starter, plus it is 13-4-3 in Twins L20 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. The Under is 4-1 in Dodgers L5 during game 2 of a series.

Back the UNDER. It is 7-3 in Dodgers L10 overall.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Tuesday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 11.5 

Probable Pitchers: Suarez (L) vs. Feltner (R) 

Philadelphia (19-19) and Colorado (16-23) clash on Saturday night. We’re on the over here as we should see a lot of scoring chances both ways here.

Philadelphia’s starting rotation has been abysmal this season and they send out Ranger Suarez, who will be making his debut here in 2023. Pitching in this ballpark for your season debut is no easy task as the ball flies out of here. Colorado sends out Ryan Feltner, who owns an ERA of over 5. He allowed 4 runs in just 4.1 innings of work last time out against the Mets as he hasn’t been able to give them any length. 

Some trends to note, the Over is 5-2-1 in Phillies last 8 overall, is 4-1-1 in Phillies last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and the Over is 6-2 in Rockies last 8 Saturday games.

Back the OVER 11.5. The Phillies are 4-11 in the last 15 meetings in Colorado, we're going to see some runs on Saturday night.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Over 8.5

Probable Pitchers: Anderson (L) vs. Allen (L)

Tyler Anderson (1-0, 5.40 ERA, 24 SO) takes on Logan Allen (1-1, 2.70 ERA, 19 SO) in Cleveland tonight. The Angels come into this one on a 20-18 (10-9 on the road, 6-4 L10) run. While the Guardians are 21-18 (7-11 at home, 4-6 L10). We're seeing hitting weather on tap for Cleveland today!

Neither pitcher had particularly impressive performances in their recent outings. Anderson allowed 3 runs (2 earned) on 5 hits and 5 walks with 6 strikeouts in 5 innings, while Allen allowed 2 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks with 3 strikeouts in 5.2 innings. Both pitchers did not factor in the decision for their respective games. In terms of overall statistics for the season, Anderson has a 5.40 ERA, a 1.64 WHIP, and a 24:16 K:BB ratio over 31.2 innings pitched in 6 starts. Allen, on the other hand, has a 2.70 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and a 19:5 K:BB ratio over 16.2 innings pitched.

Considering the bullpen performances, the Guardians have a slightly better bullpen ERA of 3.05 compared to the Angels' bullpen ERA of 3.95. It's also worth noting that Cleveland has allowed 53 home runs this season, while the Angels have allowed 81 home runs.

Some trends to note, the over is 5-0 in Angels L5 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game, it's also 5-1 in Angels L6 road games with the total set at 7-8.5. On the other side the over is 5-1-1 in Guardians L7 vs. American League West.

Oakland's Muller won after giving up 5 runs on 8 hits and 3 walks, while Brito lost after allowing 4 runs on 6 hits and 1 walk. Both pitched on Friday, with Muller striking out one and Brito striking out two. Brito has allowed less than 3 runs in 5 starts this year. We're just banking on the A's doing enough on defense to hold the Yanks bat down in this day game.

Some trends to note, the UNDER is 7-3 in the L10 matchups in NY between these two, and 5-2 in the L7. The under is 4-0 in Athletics last 4 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. On the other side the Under is 20-7 in Yankees last 27 home games.

Under 8.5

Probable Pitchers: Eovaldi (R) vs. Detmers (L)

Saturday night in Anaheim we have game 2 of this series between the Texas Rangers (18-13, 6-7 on the road, 4-6 L10) and the LA Angels (19-14, 9-5 at home, 8-2 L10). This game looks like a good one. The batting abilities of both should be kept in check. The over/under line for the game is set at 8.5, with the Over at -118 and Under at -104.

Eovaldi (3-2) earned a victory on Saturday, with an impressive performance allowing just 3 hits and no walks in a complete game shutout against the Yankees. He was able to dominate the Yankees' lineup without Judge. Eovaldi's current season stats show he has a 3.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 39:5 K:BB over 36.2 innings, striking out 8 players.

Detmers (0-2) took the loss on Saturday, conceding 7 runs (four earned) on 4 hits and 3 walks over 4.1 innings against the Brewers, striking out 6. He struggled against Milwaukee after allowing just 4 runs over his previous 12 innings. Currently, he has a posting a 4.85 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 5 starts. Despite the defeat, Detmers has generated a 10.4 K/9. 

Some trends to note, The Rangers have a .387 BABIP, whereas the Angels have a slightly better .394 BABIP. The Under is 3-0-1 in Rangers last 4 games following a loss, also the Under is 25-8-1 in Rangers last 34 road games vs. a team with a winning record. On the other side the under 7-1 in Angels last 8 home games with the total set at 7-8.5, and 4-1 in Angels last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.

Under 8.5

Probable Pitchers: Castillo (R) vs. Manoah (R)

The Seattle Mariners (11-14, 4-6 L5, 4-5 on the road) will take on the Toronto Blue Jays (16-9, 6-5 L10, 7-2 at home) in an electrifying MLB match. On the hill, we've got two beasts locked and loaded.

Luis Castillo (1.54 ERA) versus Alek Manoah (5.17 ERA). Last games out for each, despite a no-decision against the Cards, Castillo showed his firepower with 8 strikeouts, conceding only 3 runs in 5 innings. On the flip side, Manoah manhandled the Yankees in his previous start, keeping them scoreless through 7 innings while punching out 5, and surrendering only 2 hits and a walk.

Some trends to note, the Under is 7-0-1 in Blue Jays last 8 overall, and 4-0 in Blue Jays last 4 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. On the other side the under is 4-0 in Mariners L4 games following a loss, also is 4-1 in Mariners last 5 during game 1 of a series, and head to head the under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Toronto.

These two pitchers met in the playoffs in 2022 and the score was 4-0 M's, I'm banking on a similar scoreline with both on good form to start 23'. The M's have won 7 in a row vs. the Jays.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Nationals vs. Mets Under 

Probable Pitchers: WAS - T. Williams-R vs NYM - J. Lucchesi-L

Washington (9-14) and New York (14-11) meet on Thursday night. We're on the Under as these two teams wrap up a 3 game set. Both of the first two games have been low scoring as the Mets have not found their groove since returning from the west coast. Both teams have lacked really any spark thus far entering play on Thursday night. 

Washington has captured wins 4-0 and 5-1 so far and the Mets are in a scramble mode here trying to avoid the sweep. Both of these starting pitchers should have plenty of success here. Williams has allowed 2 runs of less in 3 straight outings while Lucchesi threw 7.0 shutout innings in his only start this season.

Some trends to note. Under is 9-2 in Nationals last 11 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. Under is 6-1-1 in Nationals last 8 road games.  Under is 5-0-1 in Mets last 6 games following a loss.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8.5

Probable Pitchers: Gray (R) vs. Ashcraft (R)

Texas (14-9) and Cincinnati (9-15) battle Wednesday afternoon.

We're on the Over here as these two teams look for another high scoring game. Tuesday night saw the Reds come from behind in a 7-6 win as they scored 6 in the 8th.

Expect plenty more offense here as these two starting pitchers are very hittable. They both love to pitch to contact, which is never a good thing inside a ballpark where the ball flies.

Gray allowed 4 runs to Oakland last time out, while Ashcraft will be dealing with one of the better offenses he will be seeing in the early portion of this campaign.

Expect a lot of traffic on the bases both ways. 

Some trends to note, the Over is 5-1 in Rangers L6 overall, and 5-1 in Rangers last 6 road games, plus it's 9-3 in Rangers last 12 interleague games, and lastly 6-1 in Rangers L7 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side of this matchup the Over is 5-1 in Reds last 6 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back the OVER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 9

Probable Pitchers: Morton (R) vs. Martinez (R)

Atlanta (14-4) and San Diego (8-11) continue their series on Wednesday. We're on the Under here between these two sides.

Both starting pitchers are vets who should be able to find a lot of success here.

Nick Martinez gets the ball for the home side and he has shown some solid signs through his first three starts. He logged a quality start last time out against Milwaukee and should produce a lot of swings and misses here.

Morton counters him and he allowed just 3 runs last time against the Padres. He has a lot of experience against this lineup and will lean on that here. 

Some trends to note, the Under is 4-1 in Braves last 5 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game, it's also 4-1 in Braves last 5 during game 3 of a series, and the Under is 4-1 in Braves last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. On the other side the Under is 6-2 in Padres last 8 overall, is 5-2 in Padres last 7 games with the total set at 9-10.5. The under is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in San Diego between these 2 clubs.

Back the UNDER 9.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Guardians vs. Nationals Over 9

Probable Pitchers: CLE - C. Quantrill-R vs WAS - T. Williams-R

Cleveland (7-6) and Washington (4-9) meet on Friday to open a 3 game series in the Nation's Capital.

We're on the Over here. 

Hot weather is expected and that is certainly welcomed by Cleveland after dealing with cold temps for a majority of their homestand. 

Quantrill gets the ball for them as the RH has struggled through his first two starts. Command and getting hit early have been his issues as he has given up runs early and often. Washington can make him work, especially given he pitches to contact.

Williams counters and he has been a struggle for quite some time. Lack of command and always having traffic on the bases has doomed him in a lot of his starts.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Washington. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. Over is 3-1-1 in Guardians last 5 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

Under 9

Probable Pitchers: Bumgarner (L) vs. Rogers (L)

Arizona (8-5) and Miami (6-7) meet on Friday. We're on the Under here between these two sides.

We get two veteran pitchers in a pitcher's ballpark. This is a solid matchup us as we should see a lot of quick innings and swings and misses produced.

Bumgarner always has the potential to turn in quality starts. He's got strike out stuff and takes on a lineup that isn't very powerful by any means.

Rogers counters him and the southpaw has allowed 3 runs in each of his first two starts. Arizona traveling across country for this will take some time to get their footing underneath them as well, which will benefit us with some quick at bats. 

Some trends to note, the under is 9-4 in D-backs L13 road games vs. a left-handed starter, and finally is 7-2 in Marlins L9 games with the total set at 9-10.5. On the other side the under is 7-3-3 in Marlins last 13 games following a win, plus it is 9-4-3 in Marlins last 16 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and lastly the UNDER is 19-9 in Marlins L28 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back the UNDER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 8.5

Probable Pitchers: Lauer (R) vs. Martinez (R)

San Diego (7-6) and Milwaukee (8-4) meet on Thursday night.

We're on this under here between the two sides. 

Both starting pitchers are experienced and should be able to produce some quick innings of work here. Looking at Martinez first, he comes in after struggling through his first two starts, but he's still produced at least one long outing. He finished 7.0 innings in his debut this season and has the ability to give this team length.

Lauer endured a solid 2022 campaign as he has strike out stuff. A quick start for him here in this one will allow him to settle in where he is at his best working out of the windup. 

Some trends to note, the UNDER is 6-0 in the L6 in SD. For the Padres the Under is 5-1 in their L6, plus the under is 10-4 in Padres last 14 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. For Milwaukee the under is 7-1-1 in Brewers L9 games following a loss. The under is 18-7-1 in Brewers L26 overall, 10-4 in Brewers last 14 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and 4-1 in Brewers L5 road games vs. a team with a winning record.

Back the UNDER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: Sale (L) vs. Bradley (R)

Tampa Bay (11-0) and Boston (5-6) battle here in Game 3. 

We're on the Over as these two offenses should find a lot of success in this one. 

Tampa Bay is just running wild right now. They have hit 298 homeruns in just 11 games as they can't be stopped. Top to bottom right now, this lineup is feasting off opposing pitching. They go up against Chris Sale, who has been a struggle thus far. He's not looked like the Sale of the past, getting roughed up in both outings.

Bradley counters in what will be his debut of the 2023 campaign. Boston will make him work early in this one and try to get some traffic the bases as they know they'll have to put some runs up with the way Tampa Bay is hitting. 

Some trends to note, the over is 7-0 in Red Sox L7 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and the over is 5-1 in their last 6 vs. American League East. Plus the over is 12-4 in Red Sox L16 games following a loss. For Tampa the over is 6-1-1 in Rays last 8 overall, is 5-0-1 in their L6 vs. a team with a losing record, and finally the over is 5-1-1 when the Rays game total is set between 7 and 8.5.

I haven't been impressed with Sale thus far in 2023, and Bradley while he's a top pitching prospect is still a call-up. (Eflin on IR) All we really have on Bradley is his stats from the Minors in 2022. Between Double-A Montgomery and Triple-A Durham, there were 133.1 innings pitched with a 2.57 ERA and a 141:33 K:BB ratio. I think the Red Sox can keep themselves in play here. 

Projections call for 10+ runs. Back the OVER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* MLB O/U Play

New York vs. Cleveland Under 7.5

Pitching Probables: NYY - D. German-R vs CLE - S. Bieber-R

We're on the Under here between New York (6-3) and Cleveland (6-4). 

Cleveland sends out ace Shane Bieber, who has been dynamite to start the season. Bieber has pitched back to back quality outings and he has plenty of experience and success against New York throughout his career. 

German has also had some success himself against Cleveland too. German is a strike out pitcher and Cleveland's offense comes in off an exhausting 12 inning game. 

Some trends to note. The Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings and is 14-6 in Yankees last 20 on grass. The Under is also 5-2 in Yankees last 7 during game 1 of a series.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 8

Probable Pitchers: Kirby (R) vs. Plesac (R)

Seattle (4-5) and Cleveland (5-4) meet on Easter Sunday.

Seattle goes for the sweep after two very closely played games. This Over has nice value as both offenses should find success against the opposing starter. 

Plesac gets the ball for Cleveland after just getting torched by Oakland. He's pitching with zero confidence right now and this dates back to even last season. This Cleveland crowd will get on him early if things start to take a turn.

Kirby was knocked around by the Angels in his first start too. He's the kind of pitcher who lets up hits and runs in flurries. Cleveland's offense will welcome a sunny afternoon here, with a little bit warmer temps for their bats to start heating up. 

Some trends to note, the over is 4-1 in Mariners L5, 4-1 in Mariners L5 vs. a team with a winning record, and 5-2 in Mariners last 7 road games. Head to head the over is 11-5 in the L16 in Cleveland. For the Guardians the over is 9-2-1 in Guardians last 12 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, 4-1-1 in their L6, and 8-3 in their last 11 home games.

Back the OVER 8

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Yankees vs. Orioles Over 

Pitching Probables: NYY - J. Brito-R vs BAL - C. Irvin-L

We're on the Over here as we should see plenty of offense both ways in this one.

Brito gets the ball for the Yankees after a solid opening day against the Giants. However, the Orioles are the kind of team who will make him work early. Look for them to work the counts, rack up his pitch count, and have him out of the stretch early.

Countering him is Irvin. He was knocked round by Boston in his debut here in 2023 and now has to deal with a deep Yankees lineup inside a hitters ballpark.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Baltimore. Over is 4-1 in Yankees last 5 Saturday games. Over is 5-2 in Orioles last 7 overall.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

Washington vs. Colorado Over 11

Probable Pitchers: WAS - M. Gore-L vs COL - J. Urena-R

Washington (1-6) and Colorado (3-4) meet on Friday and we're on the Over here. The thin air in Colorado always produces a lot of action. We have two contact pitchers here, who are going to struggle with that.

Gore gets the ball for Washington and he comes in after a year in which he posted a 4.50 ERA. He faced Colorado twice and posted an ERA of 19.89 in those two starts. Urena counter after getting knocked around in his first start against the Padres. Neither pitcher has overpowering stuff and they'll struggle here.

Some trends to note. Over is 12-5 in the last 17 meetings in Colorado. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Probable Pitchers: Eovaldi (R) vs. Stroman (R)

The Texas Rangers (4-2) take on the Chicago Cubs (2-3) in interleague betting action on Good Friday. In the previous game, Eovaldi (1-0) secured a victory on Saturday with a 16-3 win against the Phillies, despite giving up three runs on six hits and two walks in five innings. He managed to strike out six batters. Meanwhile, Stroman, who was originally scheduled to play against the Reds on Wednesday, has been rescheduled to play today. Stroman (1-0) achieved a win on Thursday against the Brewers by pitching six scoreless innings and striking out eight batters while allowing only three hits. 

Some trends to note the total has gone OVER in 4 of the Cubs' last 6 games, it's also 11-4-2 in Cubs last 17 vs. American League West, and 7-3 in Cubs last 10 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. On the other side the over is 5-0 in Rangers last 5 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, and lastly the over is 4-1 in Rangers last 5 interleague road games.

Texas can score some runs (as they are 5th in MLB in runs scored), and I expect the Cubs to get their offense going here, so 6.5 is to low by my projections.

Back the OVER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

Los Angeles vs. Seattle Under 7

Pitching Probables: LAA - S. Ohtani-R vs SEA - C. Flexen-R

Seattle (2-4) and Los Angeles (3-2) meet on Wednesday. We're on the Under here as run scoring opportunities should be at a premium. 

Ohtani and Flexen both have strike out stuff. Ohtani is one of the best, if not the best in baseball and he cruised against Oakland, striking out 10. Flexen struggled in his debut against Cleveland, but he is still a swing and miss guy. He's got the capabilities of putting together quick innings and not allowing a lot of traffic on the bases.

Some trends to note. The Under is 21-9-3 in Angels last 33 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and is 9-4 in Angels last 13 overall. The Under is also is 35-17-1 in Mariners last 53 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

UNDER 7.5

Probable Pitchers: Wheeler (R) vs. Eovaldi (R) 

Philadelphia (0-1) and Texas (1-0) played to an entertaining game on Opening Day that saw them put up 18 runs combined. We're flipping the script here with the Under in Game 2. We get two veteran pitchers who should be able to have success against the opposition.  

Wheeler posted an ERA of just 2.82 last season as he stepped up in so many different ways for this rotation. In 153 innings of work, he allowed just 13 homeruns in the process. That is huge for pitching inside this ballpark. Eovaldi had an ERA of just 3.87 over a 20 game span with Boston. He's been in the league for a while now and has the ability to limit damage and keep traffic off the bases. 

Some trends to note. The Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Texas. and is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings. The Under is also 5-2 in Rangers last 7 overall 5-2 in Rangers last 7 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter. 

Back the Under. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

Over 8

Probable Pitchers: Kevin Gausman (R) vs. Jack Flaherty (R)

Toronto (1-0) and St. Louis (0-1) meet on Saturday and we're on the Over here. These two offenses exploded on Opening Day and we're back at it here for another high scoring affair. 

Flaherty was limited in 2022 due to injury and it was a rough one at best. The RH struggled with command and allowed a lot of traffic on the bases. This Blue Jays lineup is so deep and has so many weapons in it, this is not the ideal spot for him. Look for the Jays to make him work and rack up the pitch count early.

On the flip side, Gausman owned a 4.22 ERA against the Cards last yer. He has always had issues with them throughout his career and will struggle here on Saturday as they are deep themselves. 

St. Louis will put runners on base and then they have multiple homerun threats who can put up a crooked number.

Some trends to note, when these two clubs play the OVER has gone over 7 of the last 8 matchups, and the OVER is 11-1 in the L12 games in St. Louis. Plus, the Over is 4-1 in Blue Jays last 5 games following an off day, is 10-4 in Blue Jays last 14 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter, and 9-4 in Blue Jays last 13 interleague road games. Lastly, the over is 9-2 in Cardinals last 11 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Saturday 6* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Seattle Over 7.5

Probable Pitchers: Hunter Gaddis (R) vs. Robbie Ray (L)

Cleveland and Seattle meet in Game 2 and we're on the Over here. Last night was a defensive stalemate in Seattle as Bieber and Castillo went head to head. Seattle eventually won with a 3-run HR by Ty France. 

Today, Hunter Gaddis steps into the spot for Mckenzie, who will miss two months for Cleveland. Gaddis filled in during the 2022 campaign and had some rough spots. This Mariners lineup makes pitchers work and they will certainly put some traffic on the bases against Gaddis. Cleveland is contact lineup and with Ray being a contact pitcher, they too will find some success.

These are two good hitting lineups going at it today.

Some trends to note. The Over is 5-2 in Guardians last 7 vs. American League West and is 5-0-1 in Mariners last 6 vs. American League Central. The over is also 5-2-1 in Mariners last 8 on grass.

Back the OVER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Probable Pitchers: Nola (R) vs. DeGrom (R)

Opening Day is upon as the Rangers (0-0) and Phillies (0-0) meet.

We're on the Over here as these two offenses should be able to find some success in this one. Texas hasn't been shy about spending money the last two seasons. They have high expectations with this kind of lineup. 

The Phillies were one of the most production offenses in 2022 and they'll look for a repeat performance in 2023. They were one of the best at manufacturing runs and their ability to hit the long ball makes them such a tough team to hold down.

Over is 4-1 in Phillies last 5 games with the total set at 6.5 or lower. Over is 5-1 in Rangers last 6 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. Over is 4-1 in Rangers last 5 interleague games. Last trend for those that like day of the week trends, the Over is 5-0 in Rangers last 5 Thursday games.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 7* MLB Opening Day O/U Play

Padres vs. Dodgers Under 7

We're won with the Over on Wednesday, but here we're playing the Under in Game 2.

These two starting pitchers have been on point, especially down the stretch of the season. This has the makings of a very low scoring game, especially given the back to back games here. The quick turnaround will provide a lot more of an aggressive style offense, which is not what you do against these two starters.

Expect run scoring chances to be at a premium here.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Padres vs Dodgers Over 7

We're on the Over here in this one as the NLDS gets ready to go off on Tuesday night.

Mike Clevinger returns from the IL and this is not an offense you want to face. Look for him to struggle from the outset as he has had command issues at times that has allowed a lot of traffic on the bases.

Combine that with the Padres offense playing well and we should see plenty of runs in this one.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play

Phillies vs. Astros Under 7

We're on the Under here Tuesday in Houston. 

Both starting pitchers have had a lot of success this season and with that, we should see run scoring opportunities at a premium here. 

Justin Verlander (17-4, 1.80 ERA) looks to cap off his Cy Young campaign here with a solid start. He is the front runner at the moment and can really solidify it here with a good outing.

Suarez (10-6, 3.37 ERA) counters here and he has stepped up for this rotation. Look for him to build off his last 3 starts, where he has allowed just 3 runs.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Rangers vs. Mariners Under 7

We're on the Under here in this one.

Texas's Jon Gray RHP 7-7, 3.64 ERA, 126 SO vs. Seattle's Marco Gonzales LHP 10-15, 4.05 ERA, 94 SO.

Both starting pitchers have had a ton of success this season, limiting run scoring opportunities every time they take the mound.

Given the high intensity of the Mariners playing these meaningful games, Texas has adapted well to the spoiler role. These have the playoff feel and with that comes a lot of tight play. Look for run scoring chances to be at a premium here on Thursday.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
