Baltimore vs. Texas Over 11.5

Getting the Over at this number has value given this weak pitching matchup.

Both starting pitchers have relatively high ERAs and struggle when it comes to traffic on the bases.

Kevin Gausman goes for Baltimore, boasting an ERA of 5.79 thus far. His inconsistent stuff won't go over well here, given how good Texas is at home. The Rangers put up 5.56 runs per game and continue to show the ability to put up crooked numbers. 

RH Austin Bibens-Dirkx counters and he holds a 4.53 ERA and pitching in the confines of Globe Life Park, won't be an easy task for a guy who has seen minimal rotation time.

Some trends to note. Over is 5-2 in Rangers last 7 on grass. Over is 7-3 in Orioles last 10 overall.

This move is a nice one here as runs should come in bunches.

Back Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

Kansas City vs. Detroit Tigers Over 10

Here, we get two pitchers who a struggle, making this Over a nice play. 

Royals RH Ian Kennedy has been about as inconsistent as one can be. He actually started this season off by losing his first 6 decisions and comes in after getting rocked. 

Kennedy allowed 6 runs in just 4.0 innings of work and already has gotten beat up by the Tigers once this season. 

Tigers RH Anibal Sanchez enters with a 5.95 ERA on the season and he too has been known for his inconsistencies. A lot of walks and big innings has led to him being completely shaky in his career with the Tigers. Look for this red hot Royals offense to get to him early and often here.

Some trends to note. Over is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings.

This matchup is just too valuable to the Over.

Back Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Pittsburgh vs. Colorado Over 12

This Over on Saturday night has some value to work with.

Both offenses have the potential to explode. The Pirates average nearly 5 runs per road game and take on a Rockies rotation that has struggled at home. Colorado has given up nearly 5.5 runs per home game and starter German Marquez has struggled for the Rockies in his home starts on the season.

On the flip side of things, this Rockies offense is one of the best. Colorado averages over 6 runs per home game and they get a look at Chad Kuhl, who is just a mess. He sits with a 4.85 ERA and has struggled with keeping traffic off the bases, which is the absolute one thing you cannot do when playing in Colorado.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Colorado. Over is 4-0 in Rockies last 4 home games.

This game has that potential to be a shootout.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play

Detroit vs. Cleveland Under 8

Sunday Night Baseball heads to Cleveland and the Under here has value.

Corey Kluber is pitching lights out for the Indians. The All Star has been about as dominant as ever in the first half, holding a 7-3 record while owning just 2.85 ERA. 

Don't overlook the fact that he struggled early on either. Kluber has seen a significant drop in his ERA as the starts have gone on and with how well he's throwing, this Tigers lineup is going to continue to be frustrated. 

Tigers starter Michael Fulmer has been similar. He's 8-6 on the year with a solid 3.20 ERA. Fulmer has been just as lock down over the past few season, really stemming into a huge part of this Tigers organization.

This total is worthy of an Under play. Both starting pitchers are solid, which should in turn make this a pitchers duel.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Chicago vs. Colorado Under 12.5

This opening number is too high here. 

Both starting pitchers aren't necessarily as bad as this total makes them seem to be.

Derek Holland goes for the White Sox and he holds a 4.52 ERA on the season. His ERA has risen as of late, but Holland still has the stuff to really hold the opposition down. Holland is one of those starters that can keep hitters off balanced and if he can get back to the way he pitched earlier this season, the Rockies offense is going to struggle some here.

German Marquez comes in for the Rockies with some solid momentum. He held the high attack Diamondbacks to just 3 runs. He's shown plenty of signs of brilliance and this White Sox just has too many inconsistencies. 

Some trends to note. Under is 5-2 in Marquezs last 7 home starts. Under is 5-1 in White Sox last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

Expect both offenses to struggle to string hits together here.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Arizona vs. Los Angeles Over 7.5

The Diamondbacks and Dodgers open with a low total here and have value at the number.

This is a nice number, given how well both offenses have played this season.

The Diamondbacks have averaged 5.12 runs per game, while the Dodgers sit at 5.16. Both offenses have a lot of depth and power which give them the ability to put up crooked numbers at any time. 

Pitching wise, Rich Hill has struggled against the Dbacks. In his career, he holds an ERA of 4.73 and already has a loss to them this season. For Arizona, Robbie Ray is in a similar position. This year, he holds an ERA of 4.76 in a pair of starts against Los Angeles. 

Some trends to note.Over is 6-1 in Dodgers last 7 Thursday games. Over is 10-3-1 in Rays last 14 starts after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.

This number is worthy of a move here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Athletics vs. Mariners Over 9.5

We have a matchup of two underwhelming pitchers here. Sam Gaviglio has a 3.48 ERA on the year, but his FIP is 5.71. Opponents have a batting average on balls in play of just .235 against him, and that will improve with time. Basically, Gavliglio looks like a better pitcher than he is by looking at numbers on the surface.

Paul Blackburn doesn't have overpowering stuff at all. He has been in the minors for a long time, and most scouts projected him as a fifth or sixth starter in the big leagues at his best. He had one good start, but he now faces a very good Seattle offense that is hitting the ball with confidence right now. I don't expect this to go well for him.

Both of these bullpens are more than capable of giving up a few runs, and this park isn't playing as small as it was a few years ago. Look for a good amount of runs from each team tonight.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

Cincinnati vs. Colorado Over 13

The Reds and Rockies have value here on the Over Tuesday night.

Both of these offenses put base runners on in the series opener, but the crooked numbers just didn't show up. 

However, here on Tuesday night, these two starting pitchers are going to allow the big innings.

Homer Bailey goes for the Reds and he just returns from injury. Bailey has struggled since returning from two starts since an elbow injury, not giving the Reds length or any sort of hope for that matter. Bailey has allowed 14 runs in just 4.2 innings of work, a horrific mark. 

Kyle Freeland goes for Colorado and he's going to struggle here against this Reds offense. The Reds have average nearly 5 runs per game this season, which should spell trouble for him given the hitters confines of Coors Field. 

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Over is 10-4-1 in the last 15 meetings in Colorado.

This Over is worthy of a move here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Astros vs. Braves Under 9.5

Brad Peacock has been a huge surprise for the Houston Astros this year. Peacock has a 2.72 ERA. His FIP (advanced metric) is 2.40, which suggests he isn't getting lucky at all. What's been the key? Peacock is striking out an insane 13.23 batters per nine innings. That kind of strikeout rate usually leads to great results.

Sean Newcomb is a really talented young lefty for the Braves. Newcomb has two dominating pitches, and when he is locating his other pitches, Newcomb is nearly unhittable. The Astros lineup is a very good one, but the Astros lose a hitter here for the NL rules, which is a key point to remember.

The Astros bullpen is tremendous and the Braves bullpen has been better in recent weeks.

Both of these pitchers are underrated by the oddsmakers right now.

A couple trends of note. The under is 9-1-2 in the Braves last 12 home games vs. a right handed starter. The under is also 4-0 in Newcomb's last 4 starts.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Kansas City vs. Seattle Over 9

Two clubs that can put up crooked number meet on Monday night, giving value to the Over in this spot.

Both offenses have been playing significantly well and with their abilities to jam the bases with traffic consistently, this total isn't necessarily that high. 

Pitching wise, we get a nice matchup here. 

Ian Kennedy goes for the Royals and he's been one guy this year that has been a solid Over bet when he takes the hill. Kennedy doesn't have anything over powering and doesn't have much of a put away pitch. Against this Mariners lineup, he's certainly going to struggle given their depth. 

Andrew Moore counters for the Mariners and this will mark just his 2nd start. The lack of experience is going to hurt him here against this hot Royals lineup.

Some trends to note. Over is 8-1-1 in Kennedys last 10 starts overall. Over is 4-1 in Kennedys last 5 road starts.

This number is just too nice.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Cincinnati vs. Colorado Over 12

The Reds and Rockies offer two solid offenses, which gives us value on this Over here.

The Reds have scored nearly 5 runs per game this season, which has been one of the biggest surprises in the MLB. They continue to find ways to string together base hits and put together big innings with their big bats in the middle of the order. However, allowing 6 runs per road game has been the biggest issue and you best believe going against the Rockies in Colorado is going to be painful for this pitching staff.

On the other side of things, the Rockies have put up 6 runs themselves at home. With how good this offense is, they're going to pick a part Reds starter Luis Castillo here. 

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Colorado. Over is 19-7-2 in the last 28 meetings.

This has been an Over matchup head to head and with these two starters, expect that to continue here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Phillies vs. Mets Over 9.5

The Philadelphia Phillies start Jeremy Hellickson. Hellickson has a 4.40 ERA and a terrible 5.48 FIP on the season. Though Hellickson's ERA isn't good, it should be even worse. He has been very lucky to have a batted balls in play average of only .249.

The Mets have hit Hellickson hard in the past and I see no reason for them to slow down here. The team has a .303 average against him in his career.

Zack Wheeler has had two of the worst starts in the majors this year in his last two outings. He went on the DL and is coming back now after not making any rehab starts. The Phillies offense isn't great by any means, but they have improved a lot in recent weeks.

The weather here is a big factor. The wind is expected to be blowing out at almost 20 mph during this game. Citi Field will play much smaller than normal for this one.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Detroit Over 10.5

With two starting pitchers who are just vulnerable to the big inning, this Over makes a lot of sense here on Friday.

Josh Tomlin gets the ball for the Indians and he has been very sketchy this year to say the least. He holds a 6.09 ERA this season and the opposition is just feasting on the big inning and big hits off of him. His stuff just hasn't been good and with the opponents hitting .321 against him, things are going to be tough on him against this Tigers lineup.

Anibal Sanchez will counter and things have been very similar for him. Sanchez has tossed 32.0 innings this season, holding an ERA of 6.75 in that span. Cleveland has roughed him up in the past before and with the way their offense is playing, it could end up being a short night for Sanchez.

This play makes extreme sense here. Given how both offenses can hit, both of these starters just don't have the stuff to keep them off the bases.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

Washington vs. St. Louis Over 9

The Nats and Cards clash on Friday night and this Over has some value to work with.

Both of these offenses can score. Given how the middle of both lineups can hit for power, which is surrounded by a lot of guys who hit for solid average, these two pitchers are going to be in store for a long night in St. Louis.

Tanner Roark goes for the away side and he's been a struggle this season. Holding an ERA of 5.15 this year, Roark just has been one of those pitchers who is consistently in the stretch. Expect him to really struggle against this Cardinals offense, that comes in off a solid showing in Arizona.

On the other side of things, Mike Leake counters. He's holding a 5-6 record this year and faces of the best lineups in baseball here. Given the Nats ability to really hang crooked numbers, look for him to be short lived in this one. 

This total is just too low, given how both offenses can put up big numbers.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Rangers vs. White Sox Over 9.5 

Austin Bibens-Dirkx has been pretty good so far, but a closer look at his statistics and you'll see a guy that has struggled through the minors and is unlikely to keep getting so fortunate on batted balls.

Mike Pelfrey has been a bad starter for a really long time, and he showed how bad he can be in his last outing. Pelfrey walks too many guys and is constantly trying to strand guys on base. That will eventually blow up in your face.

The Texas Rangers lineup is very good against righties and they'll be up against one of the worst right handed pitchers in baseball in this one.

Chicago's offense has been much better in the last couple weeks, and they should get to the Rangers starter as well as their bullpen in this one.

I think this total is a full run too low.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

Kansas City vs. Detroit Over 9.5

Grabbing the Over here with both these pitchers on the mound is a very nice play for Tuesday.

Ian Kennedy gets the ball for the Royals and he's been about as inconsistent as they come this season. Kennedy sits with a 5 ERA on the season and has allowed 4 or 5 runs in seven of his last eight starts. 

Daniel Norris will counter for the Tigers here. Sitting with a 4.66 ERA this season, Norris has consistently allowed runs to the opposition because of the big inning. Allowing crooked numbers has been unavoidable for him this season and with how hot the Royals offense currently is, things will be tough on him come Wednesday.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in Norris' last 5 starts vs. Royals. Over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Detroit.

This Over here has a lot of value to work with.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Philadelphia vs. Seattle Under 8.5

The Phillies and Mariners clash on Tuesday, with a valuable number on the Under.

Both starting pitchers have fared so well this season, this one is just too nice to pass up on.

Aaron Nola gets the ball for Philadelphia and he comes in off one of his best starts to the season. Nola allowed just 1 run in 7.1 innings of work, as he found his form early with the off speed pitches. He'll likely do the same here tonight, really keeping this hitters off balanced.

James Paxton goes for the Mariners and he continues to be dominant right now. Paxton boasts an ERA of just 3.39 and his stuff has kept this Mariners team in it this season while all the injuries occurred to them. He should have plenty of success against this Phillies lineup, that isn't very consistent.

Some trends to note. Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Seattle.

This number is a nice one, given the circumstances.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play

Pittsburgh vs. St Louis Over 8.5

Here on Sunday Night Baseball, the Over has value to work with.

Both starting pitchers have been quite inconsistent this season.

Mike Leake has gone through many runs this season, one of which saw him post an ERA of 6.20 over a 4 start span. Leake has been very vulnerable to allowing the big inning, one of his biggest issues this season.

On the other side of things, Chad Kuhl will counter and he brings in a 2-6 record with a 5.46 ERA. Kuhl just put an end to a 12 straight start winless streak as he just can't seem to figure things out.

Some trends to note. Over is 33-14-4 in Cardinals last 51 Sunday games. Over is 5-2 in Pirates last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing record.

This spot is just too nice to pass up on.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Astros vs. Athletics Under 9

The Houston Astros start Mike Fiers here. The beginning of his season was terrible, but if you look at only his last four starts, Fiers has been pretty good. This is a guy who has a decent past history in the majors, and he is pitching in a very pitcher-friendly park against a team that strikes out a bunch.

Sean Manaea is a very good young left hander for the A's. Manaea has a bright future ahead of him. He misses bats at a very high rate. He is slowly improving his control, which has been a minor problem in the past. He pitches very well in this park since it holds a lot of long fly balls.

Both of these bullpens are in good form right now. Oakland has an underrated pen and the Astros pen is one of the best two or three bullpens in all of baseball.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Baltimore Over 10.5

With these two pitchers going at it, this Over has a lot value to it. 

Both are fly ball pitchers and pitching inside Camden Yards is just not going to work out well for either of them here.

Josh Tomlin goes for the Indians and he's been notorious for allowing the home run ball. It's been his biggest issue as he continues to allow home runs with guys on base, which turns in a lot of crooked numbers for the opposition.

Chris Tillman has been equally as bad. The RH has an ERA on the season of 8.07 as he continues to get shelled in each and every start. 

Some trends to note. Over is 7-0 in Orioles last 7 home games. Over is 5-0 in Indians last 5 Tuesday games.

With how well both offenses can hit the ball, this is a very nice number on the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

New York vs. Oakland Over 10

The Yankees and Athletics open with a total of 10 on Sunday and the Over here has value to work with. 

New York has been one of the most explosive offenses in the MLB and that comes as no surprise given their lineup. They have a lot of depth top to bottom and have the power surge in the middle that really drives in the runs. The Yankees are averaging 5.76 runs per game, one of the best marks in the MLB.

On the flip side of things, Oakland's offense isn't too bad either. The A's have put up 5 runs per home game this year themselves. 

With both starting pitchers really not having good stuff, this has the makings for a huge offensive game.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Oakland. Over is 12-3-2 in Athletics last 17 overall.

The Yankees and A's should see a lot of traffic on the bases, making this Over very nice. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Cardinals vs. Orioles Over 10.5

The Orioles beat the Cardinals 15-7 on Saturday afternoon. This one probably won't be that high scoring, but I do expect a very high scoring contest on Sunday afternoon. 

Lance Lynn starts in this one for the Cardinals. Lynn has always been significantly better at home than on the road. Lynn also has an ERA that is nearly two runs better than his FIP so far this year. Lynn is fortunate to have such a good ERA, and regression is likely right around the corner for him.

Ubaldo Jimenez just isn't any good. Jimenez has an ERA over 6. Baltimore has given him opportunity after opportunity and this guy just can't take advantage.

The Orioles have a deep lineup and they should challenge Lynn all day long.

The Cardinals are excellent against right handed pitching, and St. Louis has far above average depth for a National League team. 

The wind is blowing out at about 15 mph on a hot day for this one. Great conditions for the over.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Dodgers vs. Reds Over 10.5
 
The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the best offenses in the majors. They are the best offense against right handed pitching in the National League.

Asher Wojciechowski isn't good enough to consistently get big leaguers out, and now he is up against the best NL lineup in Great American Ballpark. The weather is expected to be very hot, which means the ball will be flying well. Look for a lot of runs from the Dodgers.

The Reds have been good against lefties this year, and Ryu has been very shaky this year. I don't think he'll be able to shut down the Reds by any means here. Ryu has been struggling to find the zone with his curveball of late, and that is major trouble for him.

It's a high total, but it is high for a reason. A couple trends of note. The over is 6-0 in the Dodgers last 6 games following a win. The over is 6-1-2 in the Reds last 9 vs. a left handed starter.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

San Francisco vs. Colorado Over 12.5

The Giants and Rockies on the Over here is worth the move on Saturday,. 

We've seen this series be an absolute shootout through the first two games. 

After a 10-9 series opener, both teams responded in similar fashion offensively. They played to a 10-8 final on Friday, as Coors Field has treated both offenses very nice. 

Here in this one, we get a pair of pitchers that aren't going to be able to hold both offenses down either. Giants starter Matt Cain holds an ERA of 5.22 this season, while Rockies starter Kyle Freeland has seen the opposition hit .264 against them. 

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Over is 9-4 in Cains last 13 starts vs. Rockies.

This is another nice spot for both offenses to really explode once again.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

Yankees vs. Athletics Under 8

Luis Severino has been spectacular this year. Severino is striking out more than 10 batters per nine innings this year. The A's are a team that strike out very often, and I see Severino pitching very well here.

Sean Manaea is a rising star for the Oakland A's. He is great at getting batters to chase pitches outside of the zone. I think Manaea is quite undervalued by the oddsmakers right now. The Yankees are certainly good offensively, but I see them as overachieving a bit so far this year against left handed pitching.

The A's bullpen has been better of late, and the Yankees bullpen is one of the best in baseball. Remember, this is still one of the best pitcher parks in the majors. I think both starters go deep into this one.  The recent high scores in Yankees games creates a value opportunity here.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

San Francisco vs. Colorado Over 11

The Giants and Rockies clash on Thursday night and inside Coors Field, these two teams are certainly worthy of an Over bet. 

First off, the Giants pitching staff has completely fallen off. 

Cueto was rocked against the Royals on Wednesday and handing the ball to Matt Moore here doesn't help the cause at all. Moore holds a 5.28 ERA on the season and has been roughed up for 11 runs by the Rockies in a pair of starts this season. 

This Rockies offense should have a field day with Matt Moore on Thursday. They average 5.7 runs per game at home, which is another nice perk here.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in Hoffmans last 5 starts vs. National League West. Over is 7-0-1 in Moores last 8 road starts.

This is a nice spot to expect a lot of run scoring chances here. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

New York vs. Los Angeles Over 7.5

This total opens up relatively low here in this spot on Wednesday. 

New York has been a red hot offense as of late, really picking things up over the past week. This lineup is proving to be one of the tops in baseball, as they are showing off a lot of power, especially in the middle of the order. 

Pitching wise, this matchup helps the Over out a lot as well. 

Michael Pineda has been extremely rough on the road, boasting an ERA of nearly 6 on the road. Matt Shoemaker counters, as he enters Wednesday with a home ERA of nearly 5. 

Some trends to note.Over is 7-1-1 in Shoemakers last 9 home starts. Over is 8-3 in Pinedas last 11 starts on grass.

This number is just too low to pass up on.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Detroit vs. Boston Over

This is a nice spot on Sunday Night Baseball for the Over. 

Both starting pitchers have struggled this season. You get Daniel Norris who holds an ERA of 4.48 this season. Norris has been a mess when it comes to holding opposing teams off the base paths as the big inning has been his killer.

For Boston, Pomeranz has been very similar. He cannot keep it consistent and has struggled to keep the free passes down.This is a spot where the Tigers lineup will feed off that and should be able to get to him early and often.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in Norris' last 4 Sunday starts. Over is 6-0 in Norris' last 6 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance.  Over is 14-4-1 in Red Sox last 19 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Over is 7-0 in Marquezs last 7 games behind home plate.

This is a solid play here. Both pitchers will certainly struggle, making this value on the Over real nice. 

Back the Over. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play.

New York vs. Atlanta Over 9.5

Two struggling pitchers here give this Over solid value.  Julio Teheran has been an absolute mess at home. He holds an ERA of 8.40 this season in Atlanta, as it's been a miserable time for him. He's been unable to avoid big innings and has not worked deep into any game.

On the flip side of things, Matt Harvey has been a mess himself. The RH has been at the center of drama and has been knocked around time and time again.

Against Atlanta, he's gone 3-6 with a near 5 ERA.

Some trends to note. Over is 7-1-2 in Mets last 10 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game is 6-1 in Mets last 7 games following an off day, and is 6-1-1 in Mets last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing record. The Over is 6-1 in Braves last 7 games following a win, and is 21-5-1 in Braves last 27 home games vs. a team with a losing record.

This is going to be a game with a lot of traffic on the base paths, given both pitchers struggles.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Ray Monohan

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

Chicago vs. Tampa Bay Under 8.5 -130

The White Sox and Rays conclude their series and the Under here has some value to work with. 

Both teams send out two very reliable pitchers in this spot.

LH Derek Holland gets the ball for the White Sox and his career numbers against the Rays have been phenomenal. The Rays have hit just a combined .238 against Holland in his 11 career appearances against them. Holland has found some consistency this year, avoiding that big inning and getting deep into games. 

For the Rays, Jake Odorizzi will counter. He did struggle in his last outing, but has still been consistent enough to be a top pitcher in this Rays rotation. He's got the swing and miss abilities and going up against a White Sox lineup that averages just a little over 4 runs per road game, he should be able to shut them down in this spot.

Some trends to note. Under is 36-17-1 in the last 54 meetings in Tampa Bay. Under is 5-1 in Odorizzis last 6 home starts.

This is a nice spot to expect limited run scoring opportunities here.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Miami vs. Pittsburgh Over 8.5

The Marlins and Pirates clash on Thursday night and the Over here has a lot of value to work with. 

After tossing a no hitter in his last start, Volquez should be very vulnerable here. In the past, pitchers that have thrown no hitters in the MLB have typically been sluggish and gotten knocked around in their next start.

Not only is he coming off that, he is also at less than 100% after injuring in his ankle. 

For the Pirates, Cole really hasn't been himself this season. He holds an ERA of 4.27 and has been a struggle lately. He's given up 16 runs in just 14.2 innings of work, as the crooked numbers have come back to hurt him.

Some trends to note. Over is 9-2-1 in Pirates last 12 games vs. a right-handed starter. Over is 4-1 in Pirates last 5 overall.

Situationally, this is too nice of a spot to pass up on the Over.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Colorado Over 10.5

The Indians and Rockies play inside Coors Field on Tuesday night and the Over here has value.

These two offenses have the ability to really break out and put up big innings. 

Mike Clevinger will get the ball for the Indians, who has never pitched inside Coors Field. That doesn't bode well for bode well for him as the Rockies offense is extremely tough to hold down when playing at home. This year they are averaging 5.43 runs per game and have such a deep lineup.

The Indians offense will take on Antonio Senzatela, who is going to struggle against this Cleveland offense. The Tribe are putting up 4.5 runs per game, but this offense has the ability to put up big numbers themselves inside Coors Field. Top to bottom this is one of the most talented offenses in baseball and they'll be able to showcase that here.

Some trends to note. Over is 6-2 in Senzatelas last 8 starts on grass. Over is 5-1-1 in Indians last 7 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Situationally, this is a nice spot given how good both offenses are.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Washington vs. San Francisco Under 7.5

The middle game of this weekday series is going to feature a lot of tension and cause both teams to be real tight here on Tuesday night.

A day after a full out brawl broke out between the teams, hitters will be on alert for anything coming inside at them. We get two solid starting pitchers here, who also really help this cause on the Under.

Nationals LH Gio Gonzalez enters play with a solid 3-1 record, boasting an ERA under 3. In his career against the Giants, Gonzalez has gone 4-4 with a 2.94 ERA. The numbers are quite impressive and the offense just hasn't helped out his cause in head to head meetings.

On the Giants side of things, Giants RH Jeff Samardzija has an ERA of just 3.83 in 14 career appearances against the Nats.

Some trends to note. Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in San Francisco. Under is 6-1 in Gonzalezs last 7 starts vs. Giants. Under is 15-5-1 in the last 21 meetings.

This has been an under series head to head and here, there is plenty of value.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play

Boston vs. Chicago Under 7.5 

The Red Sox and White Sox send out their respective aces, which bodes well here for the Under. 

Chris Sale will make his return to Chicago, which will certainly offer him some comfort, considering he pitched so well inside this stadium for his entire career. 

Not to mention, Sale has been his dominant self all season long in a Red Sox uniform. 

On the other side of things, Jose Quintana faces a team that he's given a lot of hits to. The White sox ace has gone 3-0 record with a 2.87 ERA in seven starts against the Red Sox. 

Some trends to note. Under is 37-15-2 in Quintanas last 54 starts with 5 days of rest. Under is 7-3 in Sales last 10 starts overall.

This is a nice situational spot for an Under. Both pitchers are extremely good and won't allow a lot of traffic on the bases. 

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Rays vs. Twins Over 9.5

The Tampa Bay Rays take on the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon in Minnesota. The Rays offense ranks second in the majors in home runs hit. Kyle Gibson starts for the Twins here and he has been giving up home runs in bunches of late. Gibson has zero confidence and I think he'll get hit hard again here.

Alex Cobb is still trying to work his way back from injury. Cobb has been pretty good at home, but he has struggled on the road. Cobb will face a Minnesota Twins offense that is one of the best in the majors against right handed pitching.

Both of these bullpens are bad, which should mean scoring chances late in the game as well.

Some trends that back this play include:  The over is 11-1 in Cobb's last 12 road starts. The over is 7-1-1 in Gibson's last 9 home starts. The over is 4-0 in Gibson's last 4 starts vs the Rays.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Angels vs. Rays Under 8.5

Matt Shoemaker usually starts the season slowly. He has again this year. Shoemaker has proven he has good stuff and can be very good in the big leagues. I expect him to turn it around. He faces a Tampa Bay lineup here that isn't very good. If they aren't hitting home runs, Tampa Bay can't score. They are not the string together hits type of team.

Alex Cobb has very good career numbers at home. Cobb has good stuff and he is just now getting worked back into shape after being out last year with an injury. It takes time to get the rhythm back, and I think Cobb will be solid in the long run.

The under is 45-21-4 in the Angels last 70 games vs. a right handed starter. The under is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings between these two teams.

This one is a full run too high.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Kansas City vs. New York Over 8.5

The Royals and Yankees continue their series on Tuesday and the Over here has some value to work with. 

These two pitchers faced off last week in Kansas City and with this matchup coming less than a week later, both offenses are going to be very familiar with these starters. 

Jordan Montgomery got the bad end of the deal, allowing 5 runs in the loss. He sits with an ERA of nearly 5 on the season, not looking sharp in many of his outings. 

Danny Duffy is simply not overpowering, which helps out this Yankees offense seeing him for the 2nd time in a short period of time. Look for this Yankees offense, that averages 5.66 runs per game, to really take advantage of this situation. 

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in New York. Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

Expect a lot of run scoring chances here, which makes this Over valuable.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Colorado vs. Philadelphia Over 8.5

Here we get two solid offenses that make this Over very valuable.

When it comes to offenses, this Rockies one is deep. Their lineup has produced over 5 runs per game and as a team have hit .261, one of the most consistent marks in the MLB.

As for the Phillies, they're no pushover. Philadelphia has hit .257 as a team and offers a team that can produce a lot of crooked numbers.

These are just two deep lineups that have shown the ability to string together hits and can keep the line moving, which really helps this Over in the given situation.

Given the pitching matchup, run scoring opportunities are going to come about very often here.

Expect plenty of chances for both sides here, which plays value to the Over.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Angels vs. Mets Under 8.5 

The New York Mets offense isn't as good as they have looked so far this year. The Mets play on a home field that is definitely a pitcher-friendly park, and I see them as being a good team to look to play unders with at home until the lines correct back downward on their totals.

Jesse Chavez and Tom Milone aren't great starters, but they are better than many people believe as well. These are guys who can give you solid innings and give their team a chance to win games.

The Angels don't hit left handed pitching well. Overall, this Angels lineup is a weak one as far as depth. Mike Trout is great, but he doesn't have very much help.

Sunday games have stayed under the total at a higher rate than any other day of the week in the past few years. The early games have been the best under plays. It is get away day here.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* MLB O/U Play

Rangers vs. Tigers Under 9 

The Texas Rangers are on a great winning streak, but Texas hasn't hit left handed pitching all year long. The Rangers are hitting a miserable .197 against lefties on the year. Daniel Norris starts for the Tigers, and he is a solid young left handed starter.

Detroit is one of the best offenses in baseball, but they are missing arguably their two best hitters in Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez for this one. Those are two losses that cannot be understated. Even Nick Martinez, who is nothing special as a starter, should be able to quiet this lineup fairly well without their two best hitters.

This is one of those games that looks like it should sail over until you start looking into it more. Texas has a couple key lineup injuries and Detroit's top two guys are out. With cool temperatures and no wind blowing out, the conditions aren't good for the ball to be flying much either.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

Toronto vs. Atlanta Under 8

The Jays and Braves send out two very reliable pitchers here and the Under has some value to work with. 

Marcus Stroman takes the ball for the Jays and has posted an ERA of 2.87 over his last 5 starts. In that span, he's allowed 2 runs or less in 4 of those 5 outings. Stroman has found his groove and is one of the best pitchers in the MLB when it comes to pitching with runners on base, which is a huge perk. 

The Braves counter with Julio Teheran, who comes in with some serious momentum. Teheran tossed 6.0 scoreless innings last time out and looked like his old dominant self. 

Some trends to note. Under is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings in Atlanta. Under is 10-3-3 in Emmels last 16 games behind home plate vs. Atlanta.

Run scoring chances will be at a premium here, which holds value for the Under here.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Tampa Bay vs. Cleveland Under 7.5

The Indians and Rays open a 3 game set on Monday and the Under here has value to work with. 

Both these starting pitchers are going to find a lot of success here in this one. 

Chris Archer will toe the rubber for the Rays, as he enters play 3-1 with a solid 3.04 ERA. Archer has posted 3 straight quality starts and is coming in off his best outing of the season. Archer threw 8.0 scoreless innings while striking out 11. 

On the other side of things, Carlos Carrasco has been one of the top pitchers in the AL. Carrasco has an ERA of just 1.86 and has posted 6 straight quality starts.

Some trends to note. Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. Under is 4-1 in Archers last 5 starts vs. Indians.

This is a solid move here. Given both offenses inconsistencies, along with the starters, the Under is valuable.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Houston vs. New York Game 2 Under 8

The 2nd game of a double header features the Astros and Yankees on ESPN. Here the Under has the value. With a double header on Sunday, these teams are going to be hacking away in Game 2. That bodes well for the Under as they simply won't look to work the counts.

Both teams also March out solid starting pitching here.

Morton has been stellar this year at getting deep into games, while Tanaka has finally found his groove. These are two swing and miss pitchers that keep hitters off balanced.

Some trends to note. Under is 3-0-1 in Astros last 4 road games. Under is 4-1 in Astros last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 8-1 in Yankees last 9 second games of a double-header.

Expect a fast paced game, with neither team really producing solid at bats.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Oakland vs Texas Over 10

AL West rivals clash here and the Over has value to work with on Saturday. These are supposedly two of the top pitchers in each rotation, but good luck proving that. Both have been inconsistent and a struggle. Combine that with a hitters ballpark and look out. Sonny Gray is 0-1 with a 4 plus era. He's been about as much of struggle as they come thus far since being activated.

On the flip side of things, Nick Martinez is 0-2 with a 5 plus era. He's being extremely inconsistent and has struggled to get deep into games. Both starting pitchers are an absolute mess right now, which should result in run scoring chances.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in Athletics last 4 road games. Over is 8-2 in Athletics last 10 overall. Over is 8-2 in Athletics last 10 on grass. Over is 5-1 in Martinezs last 6 starts following a team loss in their previous game.

This is a nice play on the Over. Expect both offenses to really have a lot of scoring chances in this one.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play

Pittsburgh vs. Arizona Over 8.5

The Diamondbacks and Pirates open a 4 game set on Thursday night and the Over here has value to work with. 

A fair question to start asking is whether or not Chase Field is becoming like Coors Field. 

The Over at Chase Field has gone 12-6-1 this season as Arizona offers one of the top lineups in baseball. They put up a 7 spot on the Tigers Wednesday night, which is just above their home average of 6.32, one of the best marks in the league. 

They'll send out Zack Greinke, who is 6-3 with a 5.04 ERA in 10 career outings against Pittsburgh. That certainly bodes well for this Pirates offense.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. Over is 5-2 in Greinkes last 7 starts overall.

Look for both offenses to have plenty of run scoring opportunities here, making this lower total at Chase Field worth a move.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Royals vs. Rays Under 8
 
The Kansas City Royals have been the worst offense in the majors so far this year. Kansas City is abysmal overall, and they are even worse against left handed pitching. They'll face a talented young lefty in Blake Snell here. Snell has had some trouble in recent games, but he should right the ship against a really bad team like the Royals.

Nate Karns gets to pitch against his old team here, and that should help stoke the fires a little bit. Karns has big strikeout potential, and I consider this Rays team one of the worst in baseball on offense as well.

The Royals are 16-5 to the under in their last 21 games. I expected a total here of 7, but we're getting a nice price to continue riding the under train that is the Kansas City Royals. To boot the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Tampa Bay.

Look for a nice low scoring game as both pitchers pitch deep into the game.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* MLB O/U Play

Chicago vs. Boston Under 8.5

The Cubs and Red Sox battle on Sunday Night Baseball and the Under here has value to work with. 

Both starting pitchers have been solid this season and with this being a stand alone, national TV game, the Under really has value. 

Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez is dominating opposing lineups. He's hold the opposition to just a .172 average this season as his mixture of off speed pitches continues to keep hitters off balanced. 

For the Cubs, Kyle Hendricks is just as good. He's been able to keep the Cubs in every one of his starts this season as he never allows the big inning to get him. Look for that to be a huge key here as he can limit the damage for this Under.

Some trends to note. Under is 5-0 in Dreckmans last 5 Sunday games behind home plate. Under is 16-4-1 in Rodriguezs last 21 starts vs. a team with a winning record.

This is a nice spot on Sunday to expect minimal scoring chances from both sides.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Phillies vs. Dodgers Over 7.5

The Philadelphia Phillies start Zach Eflin in this one. Eflin at this stage of his career is definitely a worse than average starting pitcher. Eflin is going to get teed off on several times this year, and I think the Dodgers can get to him big in this one.

The Dodgers aren't good against lefties, but they can hit the ball really well against right handed pitching. Look for the Dodgers to take advantage of bad right handed pitching over the course of this season. Eflin fits that system nicely.

Brandon McCarthy is a decent pitcher, but he isn't overpowering. The Phillies offense is better than most believe. Look for the Phillies to be able to scratch across a few runs here.

Some betting trends to consider here. The over is 5-0 in the Phillies last 5 road games. The over is 5-0 in Eflin's last 5 starts vs. an NL West team. The over is 6-0-2 in the last 8 meetings between these two teams.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday MLB 8* O/U Play

Rockies vs. Diamondbacks Over 9

These two teams here have always been notorious for higher totals in their home ballparks. They'll meet here in Arizona Friday night with the Over holding solid value.

Both of these lineups are deep. From top to bottom they feature solid average and power, making for a lot of crooked numbers. 

Over the last 10 games, both teams have been hitting at ridiculous rates. The Rockies are averaging 6.5 runs per game, while Arizona is putting up right below that at 6.4. 

What makes this Total so nice is the pitching as well. Neither team has found any sort of consistency with their pitching staffs. In that 10 game span, Arizona has conceded 4.2 runs per game, while the Rockies jump all the way to 6.4. 

Look for a lot of run scoring opportunities here in this one, as both teams should see a consistent flow of base runners throughout the night. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

Blue Jays vs. Angels Over 7.5

The Toronto Blue Jays offense isn't this bad. There are several proven hitters in this lineup that are scuffling. Toronto may not have the best offense in the majors or anything, but they are much better than their stats from this year would show.

The Angels should get plenty of scoring opportunities against Francisco Liriano. Liriano is walking more than 5 batters per nine innings this year. That kind of walk rate will always get you in trouble. He'll be pitching with men on base frequently throughout this game. Mike Trout is the best player in baseball, and Kole Calhoun is an underrated hitter as well.

Jesse Chavez pitched out of the bullpen on Friday, so he's in a real strange situation for him here. Chavez isn't used to this, and that isn't good for a starter. They like to be on a normal schedule and they are very routine driven. Chavez isn't all that good to start with, and I expect him to struggle.

This total is too low.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Over 12

The Nationals and Rockies clash on Monday night as these two hot offenses are a solid over playing in a hitters ballpark. Washington has been one of the best road teams in baseball, throwing up 5.17 runs per game.

Bryce Harper has been on an absolute tear this season and is sparking a lot of big innings for the Nats. They face Tyler Anderson here, who has dropped 3 straight and sits with a 7 plus ERA.

On the flip side of things, the Rockies are just as hot. Their offense is producing nearly 5 runs per game and they just put up 26 runs in a 3 game series against the Giants. They face Jacob Turner, who is getting sent out in a spot start here.

Turner hasn't had a good career, as he is 12-27 with a 5.09 ERA in 79 career games.

Some betting trends of note. The OVER is 6-1-1 in Nationals last 8 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game, is 4-1 in Rockies last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, and lastly the over is 4-1-1 in Nationals last 6 vs. National League West.

This is a nice spot for the Over. Two solid offense combined with two bad pitchers.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* MLB O/U Play

Marlins vs. Padres Over 8.5

The Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres meet on Sunday in a game that I believe will have quite a few runs scored.

Miami's Tom Koehler starts here and he has a 4.56 ERA on the road in his career. Koehler is a guy with a slightly deceptive delivery, but once you have seen him multiple times he gets easier to pick up. I think his numbers are likely to get worse in the next couple seasons.

Luis Perdomo starts for the Padres and he simply doesn't have enough pitches to keep hitters guessing. This is a two pitch pitcher who is going to struggle against most lineups.

Paul Emmel is the umpire here and the over is 90-62 in his last 152 games behind home plate. With two poor pitchers and a home plate umpire that makes life tough on the pitchers, I have to side with the over in this one.

The over is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings between these two teams. The over is 21-8-4 in the Marlins last 33 road games vs. a right handed starter.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Blue Jays vs. Angels Over 9

The Blue Jays and Angels played long into the night on Friday night. We had the over in that one and cashed, and we are going to take the over yet again here. Both teams used up their bullpens in that 13 inning affair on Friday night.

Toronto starts Casey Lawrence on Saturday and Lawrence is a newbie to this starting role in the bigs. Lawrence isn't a guy that is considered a prospect and he only averaged 6.00 strikeouts per nine innings in Triple A last year. That isn't good enough to get big leaguers out on a consistent basis in most cases. The Angels should get to him.

The Blue Jays offense is definitely better than they have shown so far this year. Toronto ended up putting up 8 runs yesterday, and Jose Bautista got a huge 3 run homer in the 13th to the win the game.

Toronto excels against lefties and I think they'll get quite a few scoring chances here.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

San Francisco vs. Colorado Over 10.5

The Giants and Rockies continue their series and the Over here has solid value.Friday night was what can be expected here. Plenty of big innings, a lot of run scoring opportunities, and big hit after big hit. Both teams went back and forth Friday night and that was against two solid starting pitchers.

In this case on Saturday night, we get two pitchers who aren't trustworthy.Matt Moore goes for the Giants and he's been horrible this year. He enters play with an ERA of 4.26 and just hasn't been good.

On the other side of things, the Rockies send out rookie Antonio Senzatela. He's gone a surprising 2-0 this year, but seeing this offense, inside a hitters ballpark is a recipe for disaster. 

Some betting trends of note. The Over is 10-4-1 in Giants last 15 games following a loss, is 7-3-1 in Giants last 11 road games, and is 4-1-1 in Giants last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. The over is also 5-0-1 in Drakes last 6 games behind home plate.

Expect a lot of scoring chances here in this one, making the Over a valuable one.

Back the Over. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play

Toronto vs. Los Angeles Over 9 +115

Getting this Over at plus money is a nice sight here on Friday night. 

Neither of these pitchers have taken the mound in 2017 and given their track records in their histories, neither one is going to have much success here. 

As a whole this season, neither pitching staff has been able to get much going early. The Blue Jays are giving up an average of 4.67 runs per game on the road, while the Angels have conceded 5.83 runs per home game. 

Expect some rust from both starters here, which is huge for this Over. 

Some trends to note. Over is 9-3 in Angels last 12 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Over is 3-1-1 in Blue Jays last 5 vs. American League West.

Expect both teams to have plenty of scoring chances here. With that in mind, the Over at plus money has value.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks Over 9.5

The Los Angeles Dodgers are excellent at hitting right handed pitching. The Arizona Diamondbacks are great at hitting left-handed pitching. Both offenses will be up against their preferred type of pitcher on Friday night in the desert.

Chase Field is a great place for hitters when the roof is open. The roof is scheduled to be open with a 90 degree temperature early in the game. The dry heat in Arizona allows the ball to fly very well. 

Alex Wood and Taijuan Walker are both starters with potential, but they both have shortcomings. These are guys who are prone to giving up the long ball, and that is dangerous in these conditions and against good lineups. I expect at least a couple big innings in this one.

The total of 9.5 is very reasonable for a game between these two with the roof open. Look for this to be a game that gets to 11 or 12 runs.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

Texas vs. Oakland Over 8

The Rangers and Athletics battle Monday night and the Over here has nice value to work with. 

This is a case where neither pitcher can be considered trustworthy. Both have shown signs of struggles and they just do not have the overpowering stuff. 

AJ Griffin will the ball for Texas. He lasted just 3.1 in his season debut against these Oakland Athletics, giving up 4 runs in the process. 

As for the Athletics, they march out Jharel Cotton. He too, was a mess in his opening start to the season. Cotton gave up 5 runs in just 3.1 innings of work. 

Given how both offenses have some power in their lineups, this isn't a good matchup for either pitcher. 

Some trends to note. Over is 11-5 in Rangers last 16 Monday games. Over is 5-1-1 in Griffins last 7 starts vs. a team with a losing record.

Expect a lot of run scoring chances here, as both teams should find success,

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Cardinals vs. Yankees over 8

The St. Louis Cardinals aren't as bad as they have played so far this year. This is an offense that will definitely get better, and they should be one of the best in the National League.

Michael Pineda has tons of talent, but he is also very commonly missing his spots inside the strike zone. That's really dangerous for a pitcher that throws hard, because when the batter connects it goes a long way. Pineda has been giving up a lot of home runs the last couple years, and until he proves something is different I'll assume he will do the same again this year.

Adam Wainwright has been awful on the road of late. His road ERA is 6.21 in his last 14 road starts. The Yankees have a pretty good lineup, and Wainwright will give them scoring chances.

The weather here is a big boost for the over. The wind is expected to be blowing out to center field at 15-20 miles per hour. This is a stadium where the wind matters a lot.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Arizona vs. Los Angeles Under 8

We get a very nice number on this Under here Saturday night in Los Angeles. 

Two very strong pitchers inside a pitchers ballpark is very nice to see. 

Patrick Corbin goes for the Diamondbacks and enters with a 1.80 over a pair of starts this season. Corbin has had very quality stuff thus far and his ability to avoid the free passes is a huge reason he'a an under pitcher. 

As for the Dodgers, Maeda is a very similar pitcher. He can control the big innings from happening with his ability to have that strike out pitch. He typically pitches very well in this ballpark, which is a huge plus. 

At 8, this is a real nice number. Expect both starters to go deep into this game, while limiting base runners and not allowing that big inning to happen.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB O/U Play

Milwaukee vs. Cincinnati Over 9

We've seen Great American Ballpark always play to the Over. Here on Friday, that's the case when the Brewers and Reds clash. 

It's early, but both of these offenses have proven they can keep up with the best. The Brewers are averaging 4 runs per game through their first 10. They have proven top to bottom the lineup is extremely deep. 

As far for the Reds, they've managed to be even better. Cincinnati has averaged 4.90 runs through their first 10 games as they put up 30 runs during their winning streak. 

Here on Friday, these are two pitchers that just don't have much of a track record against either team. That plays into the advantage of the offenses, given the hitters ballpark.

Some trends to note. Over is 3-1-1 in Reds last 5 during game 2 of a series. Over is 8-3 in Reds last 11 home games.

This is a nice spot on Friday. Expect a high scoring affair, with both offenses exchanging punches. 

Back the Over. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

St. Louis vs. New York Over 8 

Interleague play visits an AL park and the Over here has value to work with. 

This Over has a lot to do with Tanaka and his struggles. He's been knocked around this season and facing an offense like St. Louis is just not a nice sight for him on Friday. 

Tanaka has allowed 14 hits in just 7.2 innings of work this season, unable to limit the damage in any given situation. 

St. Louis meanwhile has been in high scoring affairs in their 3 road contests this season. The Cards are averaging 5.00 runs per road game, while conceding 7.67. Pitching has not been their strong suit on the season thus far, as they too have seen their staff unable to limit damage.

Some trends to note. Over is 40-18-2 in Cardinals last 60 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 12-5 in Yankees last 17 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

This is a nice spot for some runs on Friday. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Brewers vs. Reds Over 9

Two complete gas cans on the mound as Jimmy Nelson takes on Bronson Arroyo on Thursday night in Cincinnati. Nelson has an ERA just above 7 in his career when pitching in Cincinnati. Arroyo is over 40 years old, and has historically started the season out very slowly. He was knocked around in his first start of the year.

The Milwaukee lineup is going to be a lot better than most people think. Ryan Braun is the big veteran name on the roster, but there are some really good young hitters on this team, and I expect them to be very good on offense down the road. They will exceed expectations this season.

Milwaukee's bullpen isn't very good. The Reds bullpen is pretty good at the back, but in middle relief they are very weak. I don't think Arroyo will last very long in this game. His condition has been questioned in the offseason, and he is a fly ball pitcher throwing in a hitter friendly park.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

Rangers vs. Angels Over 8.5

The Texas Rangers are going to hit the ball well this year. This is a deep lineup with power from the top to the bottom of the order. I've been especially impressed with Joey Gallo early on this year. If Gallo continues being a big power hitter low in the order, Texas will be excellent on offense.

The Angels have the best hitter in baseball in Mike Trout. The Angels are also up against a subpar pitcher in AJ Griffin in this one. His ERA was north of 5 last year, and I don't think he has good enough stuff to get lineups out several times through the order. Griffin is likely to be out early, which means more of the Rangers terrible bullpen.

The Angels bullpen isn't good. In fact, they are likely a bottom five or six bullpen in the majors. The Rangers bullpen is even worse. Plenty of scoring chances in the late innings here.

The over is 16-5-2 in the Rangers last 23 games vs. a team with a winning record.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Mariners vs. Angels Under 8.5

The Seattle Mariners haven't scored more than 4 runs in a game yet this year. Seattle is a better offense than they have shown so far this year, but I do expect them to have a hard time getting things going against the Angels best pitcher, Matt Shoemaker.

Shoemaker has a deceptive delivery that hitters just haven't been able to figure out. Shoemaker has improved his velocity since coming into the bigs as well, which has made him that much harder to hit.

Hisashi Iwakuma has excellent career numbers against the Angels. This Angels  offense isn't deep. Mike Trout is obviously a superstar, but the bottom of this Angels order is one of the weakest in baseball.

This one looks a full run too high to me. Sunday is get away day, which generally lowers the scoring some as most managers choose to rest a key hitter or two on Sunday.

Two solid pitchers on the mound here. Low scoring all the way.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Marlins vs. Mets Over 7.5

The Miami Marlins are much healthier on offense than they were most of last season. Stanton obviously gets the most press, but I expect big things out of Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna in 2017.

Robert Gsellman has impressive numbers last year, but his advanced statistics suggest his numbers aren't repeatable. The Marlins should have several scoring chances here.

Adam Conley has yet to prove he can consistently be a high quality starter. The Mets will be better against left-handed pitching this year, and I think this is a decent matchup for the Mets offense. A total of only 7.5 usually suggests two very good starters, but I don't think that's the case in this one. Early in the season, offenses usually have the advantage, and I believe this total is a full run too low.
We'll take the value on the over at this low price.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Arizona Over 9.5

Backing Arizona home overs has been successful for us here in the early going of the season. 

Once again here on Friday, it has value when they welcome in Cleveland. 

Things have been fun for the Indians in the early going. Their offense has been red hot and capped off a 3 game sweep with a 9 spot against Texas. Top to bottom this lineup is so patient and has some pop to it. With how the ball has traveled inside Chase Field thus far, there is no telling what this Indians offense can do. 

On the flip side of things, Arizona is proving they are no pushover whatsoever. They come in off another high production night, as they put up a 9 spot themselves against the Giants. Crooked numbers have been a huge deal for them and they'll go up against a pitcher who is very vulnerable to the home run. 

Some trends to note. Over is 36-15-2 in Diamondbacks last 53 during game 1 of a series. Over is 7-3 in Tomlins last 10 Friday starts.

Expect both offenses to really get production here, as this Over has value.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

Giants vs. Diamondbacks Over 9.5 +103

The series finale between San Francisco and Arizona takes place Thursday and the Over here is a move once again. 

We' ve backed the Over twice now in this series, both times seeing it cash. 

Chase Field has proven to be a hitters ballpark and with how these two teams can hit, it Is worth making another move here. 

Both lineups are just so deep. The last two games we've actually seen slow starts, but crooked numbers have been thrown up by both teams in the middle portion of the game. That comes from turning over the lineup a 2nd and 3rd time.

Here on Thursday, neither pitcher has overpowering stuff. Last season Samardzija had a near 4 era while Robbie Ray was well into the 4s. 

With how well both offenses are hitting, this is another nice spot to expect a lot of run scoring chances.

Back the Over. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Giants vs. Diamondbacks Over 9.5 +105

Two offenses that have exploded through the first two games of the season meet on Wednesday and the Over once again has value. 

Tuesday night we backed the Over between these two teams and it's the same case on Wednesday. 

Chase Field is one of those ballparks that always favors the hitters. The ball tends to carry and with how big the outfield it is, you can plug a gap and run for miles. 

Both teams have found success here in the early going as they have been able to string together hits. Both lineups top to bottom are deep and have guys who can drive runs in. 

Arizona has compiled 10 runs thus far, while the Giants sit at 13. 

Some trends to note. Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in Arizona. Over is 3-1-2 in Wolfs last 6 Wednesday games behind home plate. Over is 8-3-2 in Wolfs last 13 games behind home plate.

All trends point to Over here. Expect another shootout on Wednesday.

Back the Over. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Colorado vs. Milwaukee Over 9

The Brewers and Rockies go at it once again on Wednesday night and the Over here has a lot of value here to work with.

We backed the Over in the series opener as the total flew over and honestly, we should have done it again on Tuesday. 

These two teams are showing exactly what they are expected to be. Both the Rockies and Brewers show they have plenty of talent offensively, but from a pitching standpoint, they just don't have much. The first two games of this campaign have been extremely high scoring, as both teams have had plenty of chances with RISP thus far. Expect that to be the case here on Wednesday as well. 

Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in Peraltas last 6 starts vs. Rockies. Over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Milwaukee. Over is 20-8-1 in the last 29 meetings.

All signs point to the Over here. Expect a high scoring game here on Wednesday night. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Giants vs. Diamondbacks Over 9

The San Francisco Giants bullpen is going to be a major problem this year. We saw that in the first game when they squandered a lead that Madison Bumgarner had grabbed for them.

Arizona is going to hit well this year, especially in their home park. Chase Field is one of the better hitters parks in the majors.

San Francisco's lineup is at least as good as it was a year ago, and right now the Giants lineup is pretty healthy.

Johnny Cueto is certainly a good pitcher, but he is likely on the downslope of his career, and the Diamondbacks should get scoring chances against him several times.
Patrick Corbin is very capable of pitching well, but inconsistency has been a major problem for him through the years. The Diamondbacks bullpen may end up being the worst in all of baseball, so both bullpens should contribute to the cause here.

A couple trends of note. The over is 19-6-1 in Corbin's last 26 starts. The over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two in Arizona.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Rockies vs. Brewers Over 8.5

The early season action in Major League Baseball has been good to over bettors in recent years. The over looks like a good value in this Rockies vs. Brewers matchup for Monday as well.

Jon Gray and Junior Guerra are similar pitchers in that they both have a lot of potential, but they are both very inconsistent as well. These guys are each capable of a blowup at any point, and these two lineups are both improved from last year.

Milwaukee is a team that I expect to hit much better than most people believe they will this year. The Brewers are loaded with young talent, and they have the veteran crusher in the middle of the lineup to lead the way.

Colorado has a nice combination of power and speed in their lineup. They will obviously score a ton at home, but they will be better on the road than many expect.

At this plus money price, we'll take the over in this one.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday MLB 8* O/U Play

Pittsburgh vs. Boston Over 9 +110

The Pirates and Red Sox Over here at +110 on Opening Day is a nice sight and certainly a move here. 

These are two very capable offenses that top to bottom have a lot solid bats that can produce some runs. 

Despite David Ortiz not being a Red Sox member anymore following his retirement, there is plenty of pop in this lineup. In the middle you'll get a look at Mookie Betts and Hanley Ramirez, two bats that can really drive the ball. 

As for Pittsburgh, they're right there as well. Andrew McCutchen is one of the best run producers in the game. Look for him to have plenty of chances as the table setters in this Pirates lineup are phenomenal. 

Some trends to note. Over is 39-19-3 in Red Sox last 61 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Over is 7-0 in Coles last 7 starts on grass.

Neither starting pitcher is overpowering either. Given that, along with this ballpark typically being a hitters one, there should be plenty of offense here on Monday afternoon.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Yankees vs. Rays Over 6.5

The New York Yankees have a few stars in their lineup. This is a team that should still be able to hit at a better than league average clip over the course of the season. 

The Tampa Bay Rays aren't going to be very good on offense, but I do expect them to be better than they were last year. 

A total of 6.5 is usually reserved for the very best pitching matchups in baseball. Masahiro Tanaka and Chris Archer are solid, but they aren't as spectacular as the pitchers you would usually see in a game with a total set at this level.

In the past few years, the offenses have had the edge in April which has led to a lot of overs in Major League Baseball. 

A few trends of note here. The over is 9-3 in the last 12 games between these two teams. The over is 17-5 in the Rays last 22 home games vs. a right handed starter. The over is 9-3 in the Rays last 12 home games.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Cleveland vs. Chicago Over 8

The Indians and Cubs play in Game 3 of the World Series and the Over here has value. 

Chicago's bats came alive in Game 2 to even the series and that bodes well for them here as they play in the confines of Wrigley Field, where they have just been killing the ball this postseason. 

When you have a lineup that is so deep and has 8 guys (pitcher included here in NL park) that can hit the ball out of the park on any pitch, you're going to put together a lot of crooked numbers. As for them here, they get Josh Tomlin, who is a fly ball pitcher. 

As for Cleveland, their offense is just simply going to have score, simple as that. They know the Cubs offense is going to put up runs, so responding and putting up crooked numbers of their own is a must. They have the potential, as the lineup offers a balance that sees hitters string together hits and can manufacture runs.

Some trends to continue. Over is 8-2 in Cubs last 10 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game. Over is 7-2 in Tomlins last 9 Friday starts.

Runs are going to be scored here. Take note of the wind as well, which is blowing out to center field, another plus for both offenses.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Chicago vs. San Francisco Under 6

The Cubs and Giants get set for Game 3 on Monday night and with this being ace vs ace in a pitchers ballpark, the Under here has value. 

Both Madison Bumgarner and Jake Arrieta have pitched at the top of their games all season long. 

Bumgarner started the Wild Card Game and had the Mets hitters completely off balanced all night. When it comes to the playoffs, Bumgarner gets into a different form and is absolutely shutdown. In his career against the Cubs, Bumgarner has gone 8-2 with a 2.25 ERA. 

For Chicago, Jake Arrieta was one of the best in the National League in the regular season. Arrieta finished 18-8 with a 3.10 ERA and has had excellent career success against the Cubs going 4-2 with a 1.82 ERA in 6 starts. 

Some trends to note. Under is 4-1-1 in Bumgarners last 6 home starts vs. Cubs. Under is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings in San Francisco.

Look for run scoring chances to be at a low here with 1 or 2 runs being the difference.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* MLB O/U Play

Milwaukee vs. Texas Over 10

The Brewers and Rangers open a weekday series and the Over here has solid value. 

You certainly know what you're going to get when it comes to Texas at home. The Rangers have averaged well above 5 runs per game inside Globe Life Park and their lineup is extremely hot right now. 3B Adrian Beltre is hitting .429 and has a pair of home runs over a 6 game hitting streak. 

Texas sends out Martin Perez, who is seeing this Brewers lineup for the first time in his career. Milwaukee is certainly no pushover offensively and they've been playing extremely well on the road. Chris Carter is the one most familiar with Perez as he has gone 8 for 18 with 2 home runs. Expect the Brewers to try to set the table for him here in this one. 

Matt Garza counters and he has struggled in Texas in his career. Garza has compiled an ERA of 4.54 over 12 starts inside Globe Life Park. Garza has struggled against Beltre and that doesn't bode well with the way he's been hitting. 

Some trends to note. Over is 15-7-3 in Rangers last 25 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record. Over is 18-7-3 in Brewers last 28 interleague games.

Look for both teams to have plenty of base runners and scoring opportunities here, giving the Over value.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Monday 7* MLB O/U Play

Pittsburgh vs. Milwaukee Over 9

The Pirates and Brewers continue their series on Wednesday and the Over here has tremendous value. 

Looking at the Pirates, Chad Kuhl gets the ball, who has been extremely inconsistent with his time in the Pittsburgh rotation. Kuhl hasn't given the Pirates much length over any start as he logs a lot of balls and falls behind a lot of hitters. Going against a Brewers team that can hit pretty well at home isn't a good mixture for this young RH.

Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson has been the same way. Nelson has earned back to back no decisions against the Pirates, with one of those starts seeing him get rocked for 6 runs. 

Some trends to note. Over is 18-8-2 in Nelsons last 28 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. Over is 22-8-1 in Pirates last 31 Wednesday games.

The Pirates have been an Over team this year, going 83-63-4. Combine that with how bad Nelson is off a quality start and this has the making for a high scoring game.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Tampa Bay vs. New York Under 7 +105

The Rays and Yankees battle it out on Tuesday night and the Under here at plus money juice has solid value. 

New York sends out their ace Masahiro Tanaka, who has been absolutely dominant in his career against the Rays. Tanaka has gone 5-0 with a 2.42 ERA in 7 starts has consistently worked deep into games against them, rarely allowing scoring chances. 

He's also been pretty darn good this season too. Tanaka sports a 2.97 ERA and has allowed just 6 runs over his last 6 starts. 

Rays starter Alex Cobb will be making just his 4th start to the season after returning from Tommy John Surgery. The good news here for him is not only has he been great since his return, but he's also most of the rust off over the first 3 starts and can now really focus into getting into form and ready for next season. He is a stellar 5-2 in his career against New York with a 2.13 ERA.

Some trends to note. Under is 7-3 in Cobbs last 10 starts vs. Yankees. Under is 17-8 in Tanakas last 25 starts after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.

This is a nice spot here, given both pitchers success against the opposing team, to see very limited scoring chances.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Cardinals vs. Rockies Over 12.5

The St. Louis Cardinals have been one of the best teams in baseball all year against right-handed pitching. They'll face Rockies young right hander German Marquez in this one. 

Marquez had a 4.35 ERA in Triple A this year, so it is unlikely he'll have a lot of success early on in the big leagues. So far, Marquez has a 5.06 ERA in three appearances with the Rockies. He has his work cut out for him against a Cardinals lineup that is really deep. St. Louis also has plenty of reason to be motivated for this one with their playoff standing in question.

Luke Weaver has questionable advanced statistics on the year, and he is pitching in the toughest spot in his young career in this one. Coors Field is always a great park for hitters, but these mid-afternoon games are noted for their very high scoring finishes.

Look for both starters to struggle, and the bullpens to be in this one early. That isn't a bad thing for bettors either since both of these bullpens have had a rough time down the stretch.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play 

New York vs. Boston Over 9.5

This has the makings for one of those classic 4-5 hour New York/Boston games. In those types of games, the Over always has value. 

CC Sabathia gets the ball for New York and he has been all over the place this season. Last time he saw Boston, he was knocked around for 5 runs in just 5.1 innings of work. 

LH Drew Pomeranz has been a struggle lately for the Red Sox. He has gone winless in his last 4 starts and was knocked around for 5 runs in his last start against Baltimore. 

Neither pitcher is pitching well at the moment and and going up against these two offenses in this rivalry, it has the makings for a disaster. 

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Boston. Over is 20-8 in Red Sox last 28 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Expect one of those long games here with the game being on national TV, was both pitchers labor early on and both offenses get to them early and often.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

Twins vs. Tigers Over 9

The over is a whopping 68-29-4 in the Minnesota Twins last 101 games. Minnesota has an awful starting rotation and the bullpen has gotten worn out over the course of the season. The offense has gotten better as the season has gone along, and all this has been a formula for an over team like crazy since the month of May.

The Detroit Tigers have one of the top five offenses in baseball. The middle of their order is tremendous. This is a team that can rack up the runs in a hurry. Kyle Gibson starts for Minnesota here and he has a 5.44 ERA in his career against the Tigers. Gibson often gives up one or two big innings that ruin his start.

Matt Boyd starts here for the Twins. Boyd has been better of late, but he is still putting a lot of guys on base. He doesn't have shut down stuff, and the Twins are better against lefties than right handed pitching.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Chicago vs. Houston Under 7.5

Sunday Night Baseball heads into Houston and the Under has value here.

Both starting pitchers have been pitching extremely well and set up nicely here.

Jake Arrieta has gone 2-1 with a 1.93 ERA in 4 interleague starts this season.

As for Houston, Mike Fiers has been lock down against Chicago. Fiers is 3-1 with a 1.71 ERA in 5 games against Chicago in his career. This is a nice spot for him as he has been pitching extremely effective as of late.

Some trends to note. Under is 8-0 in Arrietas last 8 starts with 7 or more days of rest. Under is 4-0 in Cubs last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 7-1 in Cubs last 8 games following a loss.

Expect runs to be at a premium here. Both pitchers have swing and miss stuff and with this being on national tv, expect them both to bring their top games.

Back the Under.

Good luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play

San Diego vs. Atlanta Under 8.5

The Padres and Braves have a quick turnaround on Thursday afternoon and the Under holds solid value here.

With the quick turnaround comes getaway day for both teams. Following the comest the Padres and Braves will head out of Atlanta. In circumstances like this, both teams not only have a lot on their minds, but also tend to swing a lot more early in the counts. 

Pitching wise this is a nice spot for both. 

Jarred Cosart enters making his 5th career start against the Braves. Cosart has had plenty of success against Atlanta going 3-0 with an ERA of just 2.63. 

On the other side of things, Mike Foltynewicz has not lost since August 2nd for the Braves. He's been dominant over a 3 start span, allowing 1 ER in each of the starts.

Some trends to note. Under is 4-1 in Johnsons last 5 games behind home plate vs. San Diego. Under is 5-1 in Padres last 6 during game 3 of a series.

Given the quick turnaround and getaway day here, this is a nice spot to expect a lot of success from the starting pitchers. With that, runs could be at a premium here. 

Back the Under. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Toronto vs. Baltimore Over 10

The Blue Jays and Orioles begin a crucial AL East series on Monday and with the listed starters, the Over has a lot of value here.

Both teams have plenty of offensive firepower to put up crooked numbers. Mark Trumbo and Josh Donaldson headline that list, both coming off impressive weekend series'.

Pitching wise, Marco Estrada gets the ball for the Jays. Estrada has seen his ERA gone up by more than half a run after his last two starts. Estrada was knocked around for 6 runs on 10 hits against a weak Angels lineup last time out. 

For Baltimore, Wade Miley gets the ball. Miley is 1-3 in his career against the Jays and sits with an ERA of 6.04. 

Some trends to note. Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings. Over is 7-3 in Orioles last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Both starting pitchers are going to struggle here. A hitters ballpark, with two offenses that are red hot equals a lot of runs in this one. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB O/U Play

Cincinnati vs. Arizona Over 9.5

The Reds and Diamondbacks continue their weekend series on Saturday night and the Over here has solid value. 

Both starting pitchers have struggled, especially as of late. 

Anthony DeSclafani gets the ball for Cincinnati as he enters play a loser in 2 of his last 3 starts. He was knocked around for 4 runs last time out and hasn't faired well in his career against Arizona. The RH has gone 0-2 with an ERA of 7.36. 

For the Diamondbacks, Zack Godley toes the rubber. He was rocked his last time out, allowing 7 runs to a weak Braves lineup. Back on July 24th, Godley allowed 5 runs on 10 hits to the Reds.

Some trends to note. Over is 38-16-1 in Diamondbacks last 55 on grass. Over is 13-5 in Reds last 18 overall.

Chase Field has been a solid Over park. Given that and the struggles of both starters, expect to see a lot of runs here in this one today.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play

Royals vs. Red Sox Over 9.5
 
The Kansas City Royals are doing it again. When everyone thought they were out of it, they have gotten hot once again. They are definitely healthier than they were earlier this year, and that plays a large role.

The Boston Red Sox have the best offense in baseball. They have been consistently at the top of the charts all year. Ian Kennedy has been really good of late, but I'm not convinced he can keep it going at Fenway against this Boston offense. Kennedy is allowing 1.70 homers per 9 innings, and that's a big problem here.

Steven Wright is coming off the DL after having a shoulder injury. Wright has been good overall this year, but I worry about a knuckleballer coming off a pretty significant injury. The Royals also have good speed and will take advantage of Wright on the bases here.

A couple trends of note. The over is 8-2 in Wright's last 10 home starts. The over is 8-2-2 in the last 12 meetings between these two teams.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB O/U Play

Minnesota vs. Toronto Over 10 

The Twins and Blue Jays square off on Friday night and the Over here has a lot of value. 

Minnesota will be playing with a chip on their shoulder here, getting a shot familiar foe Francisco Liriano. It's always fun to get to face a pitcher who used to be your ace and it even amps the players up a little bit. 

It's been a while since Liriano has been with the Twins, so he's seen them a few times. In his career, he has gone 2-1 with a 5.66 ERA in 4 starts. Minnesota has had some success against him and has been able to drive his pitch count up every time they see him. 

Toronto will face off against Pat Dean. The LH has bounced back and forth from the rotation to bullpen and it's not helping his cause. He's been extremely inefficient, posting a 5 plus ERA this season.

Some trends to note. Over is 5-2-1 in Blue Jays last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Over is 33-15-4 in Twins last 52 road games.

Both teams will have plenty of opportunities to score here. Given that, expect a back and forth battle, with the Over holding a lot of value.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Angels vs. Blue Jays Over 9.5

The Los Angeles Angels send Jered Weaver to the mound in this one. There has been talk recently that Weaver may retire after this season, and with the way he has pitched, I think he should. Weaver has been putting men on base in every possible way of late, and his 81 mph fastballs aren't fooling anyone.

The Blue Jays are expected to get Jose Bautista back for this game. Bautista is so important for this lineup, and I expected an immediate boost. Toronto is going to get plenty of pitches to rip with Weaver on the mound for the Angels.

J.A. Happ has pitched well this year, but he has certainly gotten some good luck when it comes to batted ball luck and runners left on base. Happ's long-term numbers against the Angels aren't very good. The Angels have the benefit of a red hot Albert Pujols hitting right behind Mike Trout right now as well.

Both teams will score several times in this one.

A couple trends of note. The over is 3-1-1 in Weaver's last 5 starts in Toronto. The over is 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings between these two teams.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Philadelphia vs. Chicago Over 9.5

After an offensive explosion by the White Sox on Tuesday, the Phillies and Sox get set for battle once again here on Wednesday. More runs can be expected here, giving value on the Over.

James Shields gets the ball for Chicago and whenever he takes the mound, it's an adventure. He has allowed 7 runs in back to back outings and conceded 3 home runs last time out in a 9-0 loss to Oakland. Shields has been consistent with allowing the home run ball and has gone 0-3 in the month of August while allowing 28 runs. 

Jerad Eickhoff counters for Philadelphia and he too has been a roller coaster ride. Eickhoff is just 8-12 on the season and has lost 7 of his 10 road starts. In his last one, he did earn the win, but surrendered 5 runs in the process. 

Some trends to note. Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Chicago.

Given the matchup here, this one will see a lot of base runners and scoring chances. Expect a high scoring game that can go either way.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* MLB O/U Play

Atlanta vs. Arizona Over 9.5

The Braves and Diamondbacks go at it again on Tuesday night and the Over has a lot of value here. 

On Monday, these two teams got into a shootout inside Chase Field, as Arizona came from behind to capture a 9-8 win. 

The total at Chase Field is becoming a similar one to the Coors Field totals. Arizona has seen the Over go 39-21-2 at home this season. The Diamondbacks average 4.8 runs, while conceding 6.18. 

Archie Bradley gets the ball, as he has gone winless in his last 4 starts. Bradley has allowed 22 runs on 29 hits in 18.0 innings of work during the winless stretch. 

Rob Whalen counters here for Atlanta, as he continues to work up his arm strength in the MLB. Whalen hasn't lasted long in games, and enters play with a 5.73 ERA. He'll face a lineup that is tough top to bottom and always seems to have runners on.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings in Arizona. Over is 9-4-2 in Bradleys last 15 starts following a team loss in their previous game.

In this spot, with these pitchers, both offenses are going to have success. Look for a lot of run scoring chances, as the total has the potential to fly Over here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Chicago vs. Colorado Over 10.5

The Cubs and Rockies begin a weekend series inside Coors Field and look out. Putting this red hot Cubs team inside a hitters ballpark like Coors Field is a recipe for a very high scoring game.

Chicago averages 5.30 runs per game and they come in off a 9 run performance against the Brewers that saw Kris Bryant go 5 for 5 with 2 home runs. Chicago has absolutely taken off as their offense continues to cause havoc against opposing pitchers. 

Kyle Hendricks gets the ball for them and while he is pitching well, his time against the Rockies hasn't been good. Hendricks has a 5.01 ERA against them in his career and actually lost to them earlier this season.

Tyler Anderson counters here for Colorado and is coming off a loss against the Phillies that saw him get knocked around. It was the first real speed bump in what has been a solid rookie campaign, but going up against Chicago, in Colorado, after getting roughed up spells disaster here.

Some trends to note. Over is 15-6 in the last 21 meetings in Colorado. Over is 5-2 in Rockies last 7 on grass.

This has the makings of a very high scoring game. Don't think Colorado can't put up numbers here either. Expect both teams to have plenty of chances, with the total flying Over.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB O/U Play

New York vs. San Francisco Under 6.5

The Mets and Giants begin a 4 game set and the Under in the series opener is a valuable play. We get to see both teams aces on the hill and they're both in the midst of some hot pitching performances. 

Jacob deGrom gets the ball for the Mets and he brings in a stellar ERA of 2.30 on the season. deGrom has allowed just 2 runs over a 4 start span and continues to be absolutely dominate. In 3 games in his career against the Giants, he's been at his best. The star RH has compiled an ERA of just 0.84. 

Madison Bumgarner counters here for the Giants and he's been equally as good. Bumgarner has an ERA of just 2.11 and has allowed just 1 run in his last 15.0 innings of work. Against the Mets in 6.0 innings of work this season, Bumgarner didn't allow a run. He's been notably dominant against the Mets in his career as well.

Some trends to note. Under is 6-1 in deGroms last 7 road starts. Under is 10-4 in Bumgarners last 14 starts on grass.

With how good both pitchers have been in their careers against the opposing team, combined with how good they've been this season, this has the making a very low scoring game with runs coming at an extreme premium.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

Miami vs. Cincinnati Under 7.5

The Marlins and Reds put the wraps on a 4 game set and this is a case where both pitchers should find some success, which makes this Under valuable. 

Anytime Jose Fernandez takes the hill, it's going to be quite a show. Fernandez brings in an ERA of 2.81 on the season and as usual, has been the backbone to this rotation. Anytime they need a big start, Fernandez has stepped up. He comes into this one with some extra rest and if it's anything like his last start against the Reds, a big night is in store. Fernandez tossed 7.0 innings, while allowing just 1 unearned run. 

Dan Straily counters here and he has been sneaky good. 4-0 in his last 5 starts, the RH has allowed 3 runs or less in 8 straight outings. He went against Fernandez in that start earlier this season and allowed just 3 runs while grabbing the tough luck loss.

Some trends to note. Under is 5-2 in Reds last 7 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. Under is 11-5 in Fernandezs last 16 starts on grass.

This has the making of that start from earlier in the season. Both pitchers are in solid form and should execute well here.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* MLB O/U Play

Washington vs. Colorado Over 11.5

The Nationals and Rockies continue their series on Tuesday and the Over here has value.

Rockies starter Chad Bettis will be making his first career start against the Nationals and this is an extremely tough lineup to have to deal with. Washington averages above 5 runs per game and the Rockies saw a healthy Bryce Harper in the lineup on Monday as he delivered an RBI double to complete the come back. Bettis was rocked last time out, allowing 5 runs in 5.0 innings of work. 

Gio Gonzalez gets the ball for Washington here, trying to rebound from a shaky start himself. Gonzalez allowed 4 runs in 5.0 innings of work against Cleveland. He'll get an extremely hot offense that is very productive at home, as the Rockies average well above 6 runs per game. Gonzalez isn't an overpowering pitcher, which is going to cause some problems for him here in this ballpark.

Some trends to note. Over is 6-2 in Bettis' last 8 home starts. Over is 9-2 in Nationals last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing record.

Expect both teams to have scoring opportunities in this one. Both offenses are very impressive and should find success against the opposing starter.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play

Chicago vs. Cleveland Under 7.5

AL Central rivals open up a 3 game set on Tuesday night and the Under here has solid value. 

Both starting pitchers have not only had very successful seasons, but they've also had very successful careers against the opposing team.

Jose Quintana gets the ball for Chicago, as he brings in a record of 9-8 with a 2.85 ERA. Quintana has won 4 straight decisions and continues to pitch very effectively deep into ballgames. The LH has compiled a 5-2 record in 16 career outings against the Indians, while holding an ERA of 2.68. At Progressive Field, things get even better. He is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.17.

For the Indians, Corey Kluber has hit his stride. Kluber is 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA in his last 6 starts. He is 5-4 in his career against the White Sox with a very respectable ERA of 3.47. With how good he has been lately, things are certainly going to be tough for Chicago hitters, who really don't hit well on the road as they average under 4 runs per game. 

Some trends to note. Under is 28-12-2 in the last 42 meetings. Under is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings in Cleveland.

These teams play Under games and with both starters here, this is a nice spot to see a low scoring game.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

St. Louis vs. Chicago Over 9

The Cubs and Cardinals conclude their NL Central series on Sunday Night Baseball and the Over here has value to work with. 

These are two of the best offenses being featured here. The Cardinals average 5.52 runs per game, as they are the best road team in the National League. As for the Cubs, they are right there, posting 5.09 runs per game. 

Mike Leake gets the ball for St. Louis and against this red hot Cubs team, that doesn't sink in any good feelings. Leake has a 7.39 ERA since the break, contributing in no way to the Cardinals. He is going to certainly struggle here against the a Cubs team that lost for the first time in August yesterday. 

Some trends to note. Over is 6-1 in Bellinos last 7 games behind home plate vs. St. Louis. Over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Chicago.

The Over has been quite the trend when these two teams meet inside Wrigley. Given that and the starters here, this is a nice spot to see a lot of runs on the national front.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB O/U Play

Padres vs. Pirates Under 8

The San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates play this one at 12:35 eastern. That is 9:35 am Pacific, and this has always been a difficult spot for the Padres. Pittsburgh is getting ready to go on a difficult road trip themselves. This is the perfect early get away spot for a low scoring game.

We are likely to see some of the better hitters for each teams get the day off in this situation. Neither of these offenses have shown the ability to string together big innings very often of late. The Padres have one of the worst offenses in the majors against right handed pitching. Pittsburgh's offense was good earlier in this season, but they have slumped mightily of late.

Phil Cuzzi has one of the highest called strike percentages of any umpires, so he'll help both pitchers throughout this game.

A couple trends of note. The under is 5-2 in the Padres last 7 games following a win. The under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two in Pittsburgh.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play

Reds vs. Cardinals Over 8.5

The Cincinnati Reds will face former teammate Mike Leake in this one. In Leake's first two starts against the Reds this year he had an ERA of 10.32. Leake has been getting hit around consistently of late, and I see no reason to believe he'll be better in this one.

Brandon Finnegan is coming off two very good starts, but all that has done is give us more value with the over. Finnegan has a 4.45 ERA and a FIP of 5.52, so he hasn't been good in general this year. The Cardinals are in the Wild Card race, and they need to get hot right now. I think they get to Finnegan this time around.

Lance Barksdale is the umpire tonight, and he has a lower than average percentage of called strikes in the past few seasons.

A couple trends of note in this game. The over is 24-11-6 in the Reds last 41 vs. the NL Central. The over is 6-0 in the Cardinals last 6 home games vs. a lefty. 

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

San Francisco vs. Miami Under 8 +105

The Giants and Marlins played a marathon of a game on Monday night and will get right back at Tuesday night with the Under holding value here.

When it comes to long games the night before, the offenses tend to really struggle the next day. The at bats are quicker and a lot more swings and misses are produced.

Both starting pitchers here have the capabilities of shutting the opposing offenses down too. 

Matt Moore makes his 2nd start in a Giants uniform and after shaking the nerves off in his first start, this is a nice spot to get back at it. Moore owns a 2-0 record against Miami and will be taking on an offense that has to be dejected after scoring 7 runs and losing on Monday.

Tom Koehler opposes him and he is hitting his stride this season. Against the Giants, he owns a record of 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA. 

Some trends to note. Under is 9-4 in Marlins last 13 games vs. a left-handed starter. Under is 11-4-1 in Giants last 16 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Expect both starters to have success here, giving this Under solid value.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play

Mets vs. Tigers Under 8.5

The New York Mets and Detroit Tigers meet on Sunday afternoon in Detroit.

The Mets offense has had all sorts of problems scoring runs of late. Jay Bruce is off to a bit of a slow start in his first few days as a Met. New York just doesn't have the pop in the lineup that the other top teams have this year.Detroit has plenty of pop in their lineup, but Jacob Degrom is coming off back to back shutouts. He has gotten stronger and stronger as the season has gone on. Degrom should be able to slow down the Tigers offense.

Detroit has plenty of pop in their lineup, but Jacob Degrom is coming off back to back shutouts. He has gotten stronger and stronger as the season has gone on. Degrom should be able to slow down the TIgers offense.

Anibal Sanchez has been disappointing this year, but he faces that Mets offense that is struggling, and I see this as a chance for him to get things rolling again. His peripherals have improved of late.

Bill Miller is the home plate umpire here, and he's been a long-term under umpire. The under is 35-15 in his last 50 Sunday games behind home plate.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
