Oakland +1.5

We’re on the Athletics RL on Tuesday night in New York. Oakland took the series opener after a drama filled beginning of the game that saw Aaron Boone get ejected for something a fan yelled behind the dugout. Right now, this Yankees team just isn’t the same as we’ve seen from the beginning. They’re struggling offensively and the frustration factor is playing a role. Now, they have to deal with Paul Blackburn as well, who has been pitching like an ace so far. Blackburn has gone 2-0 with an ERA of just 1.08. If he is on his game, he’s going to produce a lot of swings and misses from this Yankees lineup. The New York faithful let out a ton of boos on Monday and they won’t be as patient here early in the game if things start to unfold the same. New York sends out Marcus Stroman, who has failed to make it out of the 5th in 2 straight starts. This is a chance for Oakland to put together some solid hits early and get this Yankees team on edge. This is a good price on the RL, which is a fade of the public that has pounded New York since the line opened.You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play

Philadelphia RL

RHP Spencer Strider (20-5, 3.86 ERA) and LHP Ranger Suárez (4-6, 4.18 ERA)

The Phillies are close to reaching the NLCS with just one more win needed. Thanks to Harper and 6 home runs, they dominated the Braves in Game 3 of the Division Series on Wednesday. They now lead the series 2-1, with Game 4 set for Thursday at Citizens Bank Park. The game starts at 8:07 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TBS.

In terms of odds, the Braves are favored at -155, while the Phillies stand at +130, with an over/under of 8.5 runs.

We’re on Phili RL here in Game 4. The Phillies come in after throttling the Braves to take a 2-1 lead in the best of 5.

We saw the fans doing the tomahawk chop and even chants of “we want strider” were being belted out. Well, they get their chance here on Thursday night to see him.

Strider comes in 0-1 this postseason after going 7 innings in Game 1. This Phillies lineup knows him and is red hot right now. This is the kind of game where they can lean on the experience of just facing him and make him work. We’ve seen Strider be visibly frustrated at times and this Phillies lineup can get to him early on.

Ranger Suarez counters and he should be able to give the Phillies similar length like he did last time. He went 3.2 innings, allowing just 1 hit against Atlanta.

This is the kind of game they can steal outright and take the series.

Some trends to note, the Phils are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games on the road. Atlanta are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

Back the Phillies on the RL tonight!

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

A's +1.5

Probable Pitchers: DET - T. Skubal-L vs OAK - L. Medina-R

The Detroit Tigers (71-81, 39-38 on the road, 6-4 L10) take on the Oakland Athletics (46-106, 24-53 at home, 2-8 L10), with first pitch scheduled for 9:40PM ET. The Tigers come in as the favorites, boasting odds of -182, while the Athletics are the underdogs with +153 odds. We're seeing a 7.5 O/U line. On the mound we get Skubal (6-3, 3.25 ERA) vs. Medina (3-9, 5.56 ERA).

This has to sound crazy right? Taking the A's after picking against them -1.5 with the Mariners the last 2 days. Even I'm scratching my head a little bit with this one. Just play it small and we'll get thru it together. 

The A’s and Tigers both send out starting pitchers who are projected to be big pieces of their respective franchises moving forward. Medina gets the ball for Oakland as he is being transformed into a starting pitcher. They have high hopes for the kid, who continued to improve as the season goes on. He’s shown some solid signs through and is coming in off 3.2 innings of just 1 run ball.

Oakland is looking to seek out some position battles and we’re getting to see a lot of the youth they have. They’re scrappy and should put up a fight here. In a battle of two bad teams I like the A's to keep this one within a run. Possibly even sneaking out a W in extra's.

A trend to note, Detroit are 4-15 SU in their last 19 games against Oakland.

Back the A's +1.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 6* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

Probable Pitchers: A's - P. Blackburn-R vs Mariners - L. Castillo-R

The Mariners (82-68) got back to the winning column last night in Game 1 against the Athletics (46-104). Rookie P Bryan Woo had 6 strikeouts over 5 innings, and the M’s pulled even for the 3rd AL wild card by beating the last-place Athletics 5-0.

Tonight, their ace Luis Castillo (13-7) takes the mound in Game 2. In his previous outing, he earned the win on Wednesday, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits and 3 walks over 6 innings in a 3-2 victory over the Angels. He recorded 8 strikeouts. Castillo has now secured wins in 7 of his last 9 starts, with his most recent loss dating back to July 14. He boasts a 3.08 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP through 30 starts. Lifetime vs. the A's Castillo is 2-2 with a 3.74 ERA. 

The A's will counter with Paul Blackburn (4-5, 4.14 ERA). He has pitched no more than 5 innings in any of his 3 September starts, going 1-1 with a 5.73 ERA. He has not faced the Mariners in 2023. He has gone 2-3 with a 5.09 ERA in 7 career starts against Seattle. Weather will be in the low 70's.

I'm expecting more of the same on Tuesday night for the Mariners, who now will set their sites on the AL West division leading Astros. (With the Red Sox helping them last night taking down the Rangers). The AL West promises to go right down to the final weekend. Even with this tough stretch, remember that the Mariners still control their own destiny, with games versus Texas & Houston still coming up. This A's series is to "get right".

Some trends to note, Seattle are 10-1 SU in their last 11 games against Oakland, plus they're 5-0 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Oakland. The Mariners have also hit the ML in 25 of their last 38 away games (+10.35 Units / 21% ROI). On the other side Oakland are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games at home, and are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games.

Back the Mariners tonight on the RL. They're 41-35 on the road.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB RL Play

Mets +1.5

Probable Pitchers: NYM - T. Megill-R vs MIN - P. Lopez-R

On Sunday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the NY Mets (64-77, 29-44 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Minnesota Twins (75-67, 42-29 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Tyler Megill (8-7, 5.28 ERA, 88 SO) taking on Pablo Lopez. (10-7, 3.64 ERA, 199 SO)

We’re on the Mets RL here. 

New York tries to avoid the sweep here in Minnesota as they try to at least finish this season out with any kind of momentum possible. 

Pablo Lopez gets the ball for Minnesota and he’s been hittable this year. The RH has 7 losses and has allowed 16 hits combined over his last two starts. The Mets can take advantage of some scoring chances and put together some big innings here.

Megill will give them some length as he always works deep into games for New York

Some trends to note, the NY Mets are 10-3 SU in their last 13 games against Minnesota, plus the Mets have hit the ML in 5 of their last 10 away games (+0.70 Units / 6% ROI), and are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against Minnesota.

Back the Mets on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* MLB RL Play

Guardians +1.5

Probable Pitchers: MIN - S. Gray-R vs CLE - T. Bibee-R

On Tuesday we have a nice AL Central betting matchup between the Minnesota Twins (72-66, 32-37 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Cleveland Guardians (66-72, 35-35 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Sonny Gray (7-6, 2.92 ERA, 156 SO) taking on Tanner Bibee. (10-3, 3.03 ERA, 125 SO)

Cleveland is in a full bounce back spot.

They saw C David Fry come on to pitch the 6th inning of their most important game of the season. They allowed 20 runs to the Twins and are now all but eliminated.

Any hope will now fall on a lot of breaks, but it starts with winning Tuesday night.

They send out Tanner Bibee, who owns 10 wins and has been in conversation for rookie of the year. He’s pitching at a very high level and comes in after allowing 2 runs in 5.0 innings in Minnesota. He’s been the biggest piece to this rotation and has come up in some big spots.

Some trends to note, Cleveland are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games, and the Guardians have hit the ML in 6 of their last 10 games (+4.50 Units / 45% ROI). On the other side Minnesota are 6-14 SU in their last 20 games against Cleveland, and are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games when playing on the road against the Guardians.

Back the Guardians on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play

Diamondbacks -1.5

Probable Pitchers: COL - P. Lambert-R vs ARI - M. Kelly-R

On Wednesday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Colorado Rockies (50-86, 21-48 on the road, and 2-8 L10) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (70-67, 36-34 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Peter Lambert (3-5, 4.95 ERA, 64 SO) taking on Merrill Kelly. (10-6, 3.31 ERA, 147 SO)

Arizona takes on Colorado and we’re on the RL here.

The dbacks welcome in the sight of the Rockies, who they have owned this season. They come in 8-2, with a 4 game sweep under their belts already here in 2023.

Kelly gets the ball and is in search of win number 11 this year. The RH was rocked last time out, but prior to that did pitch a 7.0 inning gem against the Reds at home.

He should see some run support as Lambert counters with a near 5 ERA. He’s failed to reach the 6th inning in both of his last two starts and will certainly have to work here against this offense.

Some trends to note, Colorado are 2-11 SU in their last 13 games, are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games against Arizona, and are 1-10 SU in their last 11 games on the road. On the other side Arizona are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games at home, and are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against Colorado.

Back the D-Backs on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* MLB RL Play

Mariners RL

Probable Pitchers: OAK - Z. Neal-R vs SEA - B. Miller-R

On Wednesday we have a nice AL West betting matchup between the Oakland A's (39-94, 19-49 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Seattle Mariners (75-57, 38-29 at home, and 8-2 L10). On the bumps we get Zack Neal (1-0, 6.88 ERA, 11 SO) taking on Bryce Miller. (8-4, 3.90 ERA, 95 SO)

Last night was a minor hiccup for the Mariners. They were understaffed, and suffered a 3-1 defeat to the A's, who currently reside at the bottom of the standings. (Starting pitcher Kirby, and Julio were late scratches) This loss caused the Mariners to fall into a three-way deadlock for the top position with the Rangers and the Astros.

Bryce Miller has owned the Oakland Athletics. He has encountered the A's on two occasions in 23, conceding 1 run and 0 runs in those outings. He's also been a machine at home covering in 8 of his 11 starts at T-Mobile.

An exceptional pitching roster and bullpen guides Seattle, leading the Major Leagues with an impressive 3.64 ERA. Additionally, their offense, boasting an .818 OPS since July 1st, stands out as one of the strongest. They've lost 14 games in their last 50.

Some trends to note, Seattle are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home, and are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent in the AL, plus the Mariners have hit the ML in 37 of their last 52 games (+17.30 Units / 23% ROI). For Oakland, they're 1-8 SU in their last 9 games against Seattle.

Back the M's on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* FREE MLB RL Play

Mets +1.5

Probable Pitchers: TEX - J. Gray-R vs NYM - T. Megill-R

On Monday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Texas Rangers (73-57, 31-33 on the road, and 1-9 L10) and the New York Mets (60-71, 32-30 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Jon Gray (8-7, 3.76 ERA, 111 SO) taking on Tylor Megill. (7-7, 5.54 ERA, 74 SO)

The Rangers have become ice cold right now.

They have fallen out of first place and now all of a sudden they can’t figure out how to get a clutch hit.

They head into New York losers in 9 of their last 10 and now have to find a way to regroup. This is a nice spot to fade them on the road, especially after a tough loss to the Twins in 13 innings on Sunday.

Gray was rocked in Arizona last time out while Megill has at least given the Mets chances to win his last two starts.

Some trends to note, Expect the Mets to jump out to a quick start here. They've hit the 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline in 23 of their last 43 games at home (+7.30 Units / 12% ROI). On the other side Texas are 6-12 SU in their last 18 games against NY Mets, and are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games on the road. The Rangers are also 0-6 in their L6 vs. the NL. 

Back the Mets on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* MLB RL Play

Diamondbacks -1.5

Probable Pitchers: CIN - B. Williamson-L vs ARI - M. Kelly-R

On Thursday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Cincinnati Reds (67-61, 36-27 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (66-61, 32-31 at home, and 8-2 L10). On the bumps we get Brandon Williamson (4-3, 4.47 ERA, 76 SO) taking on Merrill Kelly. (10-5, 3.13 ERA, 134 SO)

We’re on the Dbacks here on Thursday. Arizona has played much better at home versus on the road to start here.

They welcome in the Reds who are in the midst of a long west coast road trip that will certainly cause some lag. Kelly gets the ball for the Dbacks, as he is a solid 10-5 with an era of 3.13. He’s consistently given Arizona length as he’s one who will work past the 6th inning more times than not.

The Dbacks also come in with momentum, after an impressive 2 game sweep of Texas. They should be able to get to Williamson, who allowed 9 hits and 4 runs last time out.

Some trends to note, Arizona are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games, are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home, and are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games against an opponent in the NL.

Back the D-Backs on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* MLB RL Play

Mets +1.5

Probable Pitchers: ATL - Y. Chirinos-R vs NYM - K. Senga-R

We're on the Mets RL here on Sunday Night Baseball.

This is a spot to fade Braves starter Chirinos here. He comes in after getting knocked around by the Pirates last time out. The RH allowed 7 hits and 6 runs as he simply had nothing. This Mets lineup should be able to create a lot of run scoring chances against him here.

On the flip side, Senga has been one of the bright spots for this Mets team. He's proving he will be a solid top of the rotation arm as he comes in after throwing 7.0 innings of 2 run ball against the Cubs.

Look for New York to have a chance to steal this outright.

Back Mets RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB RL Play

Twins +1.5

Probable Pitchers: ARI - Z. Gallen-R vs MIN - D. Keuchel-L

On Sunday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Arizona D-Backs (57-55, 29-27 on the road, and 2-8 L10) and the Minnesota Twins (58-54, 32-24 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Zack Gallen (11-5, 3.41 ERA, 149 SO) taking on Dallas Keuchel. (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 0 SO)

Cy Young award winner Dallas Keuchel has been called up by the Twins following the injury to Joe Ryan. It's rumored we could see Keuchel for a couple weeks too, as Ryan recovers from his groin strain. The vet-lefty has a nice 1.13 ERA with 28 K's over 32 innings (6 starts) for Triple-A St. Paul. The D-Backs are on a downwards spiral. Losers of 8 of their last 10. Gallen has been a gem this season but at home I'm liking the Twins to get it done on the RL today.

Some trends to note, Arizona are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games, are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games against Minnesota, and are 1-9 SU in their last 10 games on the road. On the other side Minnesota are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games, and are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games at home.

Back the Twins at home on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* FREE MLB RL Play

Yankees +1.5 

Probable Pitchers: HOU - J. Verlander-R vs NYY - N. Cortes-L

On Saturday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Houston Astros (63-48, 26-26 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the NY Yankees (57-53, 34-27 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Justin Verlander (6-5, 3.15 ERA, 81 SO) taking on Nester Cortes. (5-2, 5.16 ERA, 59 SO)

Justin Verlander makes his return to the Astros here on Saturday. The Yankees will also welcome back Nestor Cortes from the IL. Both teams continue their push toward the postseason as it's the Yankees who are in a bit more of a tougher spot here than Houston.

Still, New York isn't out of the Wild Card race by any means. 

Cortes returns at the right time, as the vet knows how to not only give this team some innings when he's on the hill, but also can give them a chance to win. He comes in with a 5-2 record and has been on the fortunate end of some solid run support.

The Yankees have seen plenty of Verlander too. He's 10-7 in his career against the Yankees and these two have faced off in some big time games. Look for New York to try and make him work, as Verlander hasn't been as good as he's been in past seasons. 

Getting New York at this price on the RL is worthy of a move. 

Back the Yanks on the RL in this one.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB RL Play

Royals +1.5

Probable Pitchers: NYM - J. Quintana-L vs KC - Z. Greinke-R

On Tuesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the NY Mets (50-55, 24-32 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the KC Royals (32-75, 18-36 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Jose Quintana (0-2, 3.27 ERA, 8 SO) taking on Zack Greinke. (1-11, 5.49 ERA, 66 SO)

The Royals have value here on the RL. The Mets are a team to fade, especially given what they’re doing here at the deadline. They’re selling and selling hard, really pushing the fan base away. Combine that with the team morale here, and this is a nice spot to fade them.

Kansas City comes in with momentum for the first time all season. They swept the Twins over the weekend, giving them some buzz. The Royals send out Greinke, who is the perfect vet to be on the mound here. He’ll produce a lot of swings and misses and matches up well with this lineup.

Look for him to set the tone, while the Royals offense makes Quintana work early.

Some trends to note, the NY Mets are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games on the road. On the other side the Kansas City are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games, plus the Royals have hit the ML in 8 of their last 14 games at home (+6.85 Units / 49% ROI)

This is a play on Greinke. He sports a 5-1 record and a 3.49 ERA in 9 regular-season starts vs. NYM. Also, at home he has a decent 3.74 ERA in 10 starts, allowing just 6 HR's to go with 10 Walks.

Back the Royals on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play

Phillies -1.5

Probable Pitchers: PHI - A. Nola-R vs PIT - Q. Priester-R

On Saturday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (56-47, 28-27 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (45-58, 23-27 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Aaron Nola (9-6, 4.25 ERA, 133 SO) taking on Quinn Priester. (1-1, 9.28 ERA, 6 SO)

We’re on the Phillies RL on Saturday. Phili takes on a Pittsburgh team that has a lot of uncertainty inside the clubhouse right now.

They’re are going to be sellers at the deadline and expect to move some pieces in the coming days. That right there is reason enough to expect some sluggish play from Pittsburgh. They have a lot of distractions right now and take on a Phillies team that has been playing well. Philadelphia has won 3 straight, including a 2-1 win last night .

Nola comes in with 9 wins and has pitched well overall. He went 7 innings allowing just 3 runs last time out against Cleveland.

Some trends to note, Philadelphia are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games, and are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games against Pittsburgh. Plus they're 6-0 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh are 5-13 SU in their last 18 games, and are 1-8 SU in their last 9 games at home.

The Phillies have hit the Moneyline in 31 of their last 46 games (+12.40 Units / 19% ROI), this team knows how to win games. 

Back the Phillies on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB RL Play

Rangers +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Padres - J. Musgrove-R vs Rangers - D. Dunning-R

On Friday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Texas Rangers (60-43, 26-23 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the San Diego Padres (49-54, 26-25 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Dane Dunning (8-3, 3.18 ERA, 64 SO) taking on Joe Musgrove. (9-3, 3.25 ERA, 92 SO)

We’re on the Rangers RL here on Friday. 

The Rangers boast one of the best offenses in the MLB. They’ve been able to do it with a couple of different factors. 

For starters, clutch hitting has been huge for them. From top to bottom they feature hitters who have all had timely hits this season. Combine that with their ability to hit the long ball and they can come at you with a crooked number at any moment. 

They send out Dane Dunning, who has pitched well as a whole this season. He comes in 8-3 with an ERA sitting at 3.18. The LH has pitched has also pitched well in his last two road starts. 

Texas can outslug this Padres side here.

Some trends to note, Texas are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games, and are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games against an opponent in the NL West.

Back the Rangers on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB RL Play

Twins RL

Probable Pitchers: MIN - S. Gray-R vs KC - B. Singer-R

On Friday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Minnesota Twins (54-50, 24-26 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the KC Royals (29-75, 15-36 at home, and 2-8 L10). On the bumps we get Sonny Gray (4-4, 3.15 ERA, 110 SO) taking on Brady Singer. (6-8, 5.55 ERA, 90 SO)

We’re on the Twins RL here. Kansas City has just been an ultimate fade all season long. The Royals have been awful in every aspect and they have struggled against every team.

Sonny Gray takes the ball, boasting an ERA of just 3.15. The RH is very familiar with the divisional opponent and has had a ton of success against them. We’re backing him here to have a nice start and not allow many scoring chances.

Singer is just 6-8 and owns a 5.55 ERA. His struggles have come from command and he has really not been one to work deep into games. Look for him to struggle against a hot Twins lineup in this spot.

Some trends to note, the Twins have hit the ML in 9 of their last 13 games (+4.60 Units / 25% ROI), and they've hit the 1st 5 innings ML in 6/10 away games. Minnesota are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games, and are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games against Kansas City. Kansas City are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games.

Back the Twins on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB RL Play

Padres -1.5

Probable Pitchers: PIT - Q. Priester-R vs SDG - Y. Darvish-R

On Monday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Pittsburgh Pirates (43-56, 20-30 on the road, and 3-7 L10) and the San Diego Padres (48-52, 25-23 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Quinn Priester (0-1, 11.81 ERA, 2 SO) taking on Yu Darvish. (7-6, 4.36 ERA, 105 SO)

We're on the Padres here, as these two teams are on different ends of the spectrum.

Pittsburgh has just tanked since their hot start and extension of Manager Derek Shelton. Offensively, they have had zero clutch hitting and they send out a rookie here, who was lit up in his MLB Debut. Priester got knocked around by Cleveland's offense, which doesn't bode well going into play here against a much better Padres lineup.

Look for Darvish to set the tone early and for the bats to get things going. 

Some trends to note, Pittsburgh are 3-11 SU in their last 14 games, and they're 4-16 SU in their last 20 games on the road. San Diego are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games, and are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home. 

Back the Padres on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* MLB RL Play

Rockies RL

Probable Pitchers: HOU - B. Bielak-R vs COL - A. Gomber-L

On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Houston Astros (52-43, 27-21 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Colorado Rockies (37-58, 23-25 at home, and 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Brandon Bielak (4-5, 3.79 ERA, 46 SO) taking on Austin Gomber. (8-7, 6.19 ERA, 63 SO)

The Rockies have value here as this game should be an interesting one.

Colorado has been much better at home versus on the road this season. Inside the confines of Coors Field, Colorado has put up a lot of runs and they've beaten some solid pitching here. Offensively, the Rockies have hit 91 homeruns as a team and they have utilized the long ball a lot here at home.

Gomber has 8 wins on the year and he's shown some good spots as of late. He's allowed just 2 runs in each of his last 4 starts and has given the Rockies length in all of those. 

Look for him to give them another good outing here and chance to win, as Colorado's offense should be able to put some pressure on Bielak early. 

Some trends to note, the Rox have covered the Run Line in 22 of their last 36 games at Coors Field (+8.35 Units / 20% ROI), they're also 4-1 in their last 5 games against the spread, and 3-2 in their L5. The Stros are 1-4 in their L5 vs. the spread, and 2-3 in their L5.

Back the Rockies on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* MLB RL Play

Orioles +1.5

Probable Pitchers: LAD - J. Urias-L vs BAL - D. Kremer-R

On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the LA Dodgers (55-39, 26-23 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Baltimore Orioles (57-37, 29-20 at home, and 8-2 L10). On the bumps we get Julio Urias (7-5, 4.35 ERA, 70 SO) taking on Dean Kremer. (10-4, 4.59 ERA, 100 SO)

Baltimore has value here on the RL.

Kremer has stepped up in this rotation in a big way. While his ERA isn't where he wants to be, he still has racked up 10 wins and continues to pitch with a lot of confidence. He's pitched 13.0 innings over his last 2 starts and allowed just 1 run in each of those outings.

Baltimore has continued to put on the pressure in the AL East a they are right on the heels of the Rays. With how well this offense is playing, The O's have a chance to not only keep this one close, but they can steal this one outright.

Some trends to note, The Orioles have covered the RL in 48 of their last 81 games (+15.75 Units / 16% ROI), plus the Orioles are 33-12 in their road games against the spread, and are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games.

Back the O's on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB RL Play

Phillies +1.5

Probable Pitchers: SDG - B. Snell-L vs PHI - T. Walker-R

On Sunday we have a nice NL matchup between the Padres and the Phillies. On the bumps we get Blake Snell (6-7, 2.85 ERA, 132 SO) taking on Taijuan Walker. (10-3, 4.02 ERA, 85 SO)

Walker (10-3) secured a victory on Wednesday, giving up 4 runs on 5 hits and 5 walks across 7 innings against the Rays. He recorded 8 strikeouts. With his 10th win this season, Walker now shares the top spot in the National League. He has won his past 6 starts.

Some trends to note, Philadelphia are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games, and 4-1 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against SD. On the other side San Diego are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games on the road.

Back the Phillies on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB RL Play

Brewers +1.5

Probable Pitchers: CHC - J. Steele-L vs MIL - A. Houser-R

On Wednesday we have a nice NL Central betting matchup between the Chicago Cubs (39-45, 18-23 on the road, and 3-7 L10) and the Milwaukee Brewers (46-40, 23-19 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Justin Steele (9-2, 2.43 ERA, 76 SO) taking on Adrian Houser. (3-2, 3.88 ERA, 30 SO)

We're on the Brewers RL here. 

Milwaukee and Chicago always seem to play to close, entertaining ball games. We had another one run game between these two clubs on the 4th of July and this one should be similar.

Justin Steele through a gem against Cleveland on Friday afternoon as he continues his solid season. The Brewers offense is starting to heat up though and that benefits us here tremendously. 

Look for Houser to set the tone early in this one as he continues to give the Brewers chances when he takes the mound. 

Scoring chances may be at a premium here on Wednesday. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Brewers are 12-5 in the L17 vs. Chicago, and 5-2 in the L7. The Cubs are 1-5 in their last 6 vs. a team with a winning record, and are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Brewers are 6-0 in their last 6 games following a loss, and lastly they're 5-1 in their last 6 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Back the Brew Crew on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* MLB RL Play

Astros -1.5

Probable Pitchers: COL - C. Anderson-R vs HOU - J. France-R

On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Colorado Rockies (33-54, 13-30 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Houston Astros (48-38, 23-19 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Chase Anderson (0-3, 6.50 ERA, 34 SO) taking on J.P. France. (3-3, 3.13 ERA, 44 SO)

The Astros are just on a different level than the Rockies. Houston comes in 10 games over .500 and this team still has more of their stride to hit. 

JP France owns a solid ERA of just 3.13 as he continues to put together solid performance for this side. He comes in with a lot of momentum as well, after going 7.0 shut out innings against the Cardinals last time out.

Chase Anderson counters and he's been a fade. With an ERA above 6, he's struggled in almost every facet. Look for the Astros to make him work as they love to rack up pitcher's pitch counts early. 

Some trends to note, the Rockies are 21-44 in their last 65 games following a loss, and they're 21-47 in their last 68 games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Astros are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, are 6-1 in their last 7 overall, and lastly they're 20-6 in the L26 vs. Colorado.

Back the Stros on the RL. The Rockies are 7-20 in their last 27 overall.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB RL Play

Guardians +1.5

Probable Pitchers: CLE - C. Quantrill-R vs CHC - J. Steele-L

On Friday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Cleveland Guardians (39-41, 19-22 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Chicago Cubs (37-42, 20-20 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Cal Quantrill (2-4, 5.61 ERA, 34 SO) taking on Justin Steele. (8-2, 2.62 ERA, 70 SO) 

I like the Guardians to continue their grinding ways and keep this one close on Friday night. It's a veteran clubhouse, and these guys know how to grind out W's. In particular, Ramirez, and Naylor are mashing right now.

The Guardians are riding a 7-3 run, and playing better ball of late. They have their eyes on the playoffs, and hopefully the blown save late vs. the Royals last game out is just a blip on the radar. Quantrill is back tonight after missing a month with shoulder stiffness. In his most recent rehab start he allowed 3 hits and a walk while striking out 3 over 5 scoreless innings with AA Akron. He chucked 58 pitches (38 strikes). His last game out in the Bigs he suffered a defeat as he pitched 4.1 innings against the Orioles, giving up 8 runs on 8 hits and 2 walks. He managed to strike out 3 at the end of May.

Some trends to note, Guardians are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record, and are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss, plus, they're 10-3 in their last 13 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Cubs are 0-4 in their last 4 overall, are 0-4 in their last 4 home games, and lastly they're 2-10 in their last 12 interleague home games vs. a team with a losing record.

Play the Guardians Friday +1.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB RL Play

Reds +1.5

Probable Pitchers: CIN - L. Weaver-R vs BAL - K. Gibson-R

On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Cincinnati Reds (42-38, 21-18 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Milwaukee Brewers (48-30, 25-15 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Luke Weaver (1-2, 6.86 ERA, 53 SO) taking on Kyle Gibson. (8-5, 4.30 ERA, 69 SO)

Cincinnati continues to be undervalued here. The Reds have still been one of the hottest teams in the MLB and they sit 4 games over the .500 mark. Their ability to produce runs and get timely hits has been the biggest difference in this team from years past.

Kyle Gibson allowed 5 runs last time out against the Mariners in a game as he was torched from the outset. He's been extremely inconsistent here in 2023 and this is a Reds lineup that really makes opposing pitchers work.

We're on the Reds here to keep this close with a chance to steal It outright. Weaver has been a struggle at times, but he does give the Reds usually around the 5.0 inning mark per game.

Some trends to note, the Reds are 7-0 in their last 7 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 15-2 in their last 17 road games vs. a right-handed starter, lastly they're 14-3 in their last 17 road games. On the other side the O's are 8-39 in their last 57 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record.

Back the Reds on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* FREE MLB RL Play

Brewers +1.5

Probable Pitchers: MIL - C. Rea-R vs NYM - J. Verlander-R

On Monday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers (40-37, 18-19 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the N.Y. Mets (35-42, 17-15 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Colin Rea (3-4, 4.88 ERA, 54 SO) taking on Justin Verlander (2-4, 4.50 ERA, 44 SO)

The Mets have been just a debacle this year. They always seem to find a way to either blow a game or do something that completely takes away the game from them. 

Justin Verlander has not been the ace they've hoped for either. He's not only battled injury, but he also has struggled as a whole. He comes in with a 4.50 ERA and just 2 wins on the campaign.

He takes on a Brewers offense that had a good series against the Guardians over the weekend, where they took 2 of 3. Milwaukee goes to Colin Rea, who has pitched similar to Verlander this year. There isn't a huge pitching edge by any means for the Mets, which gives value on this RL. 

Some trends to note, the Brewers are 5-2 in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing record, and are 4-0 in the L4 matchups. On the other side the Mets are 2-6 in their last 8 home games, and 1-4 in their L5, lastly, they're 1-4 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back the Brewers on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* MLB RL Play

Tigers RL 

On Friday, we have a nice AL Central betting matchup between the Minnesota Twins (38-38, 15-19 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Detroit Tigers (32-41, 17-19 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Kenta Maeda (0-4, 9.00 ERA, 14 SO) taking on Hunter Brown. (1-7, 6.82 ERA, 57 SO)

Detroit and Minnesota meet and we're on the Tigers RL here.

Both starters have been a struggle this season. Kenta Maeda comes in with a 9 ERA and he has been awful through his 4 starts. He's had command issues and put a lot of traffic on the bases, allowing the opposition to get scoring chances early. 

Joey Wentz counters after what was his best start of the season against these Twins. He allowed just 2 runs in 6.0 innings of work, while striking out 9.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 5-2 in their last 7 games on grass. Tigers are 5-2 in their last 7 vs. American League Central. Tigers are 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. Tigers are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing record.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

New York +1.5

Probable Pitchers: SEA - L. Castillo-R vs NYY - J. Brito-R

New York and Seattle meet and we're on the Yankees RL here. Despite all their injuries, the Yankees still leaned on Cole and took Tuesday's contest with ease.

Getting them on the RL at this price is rare. While Castillo is the ace of this Mariners staff, he still has seen his team lose his last 3 starts. He's also 0-3 on the road with an ERA of over 4 here in 2023. New York will have scoring chances and have their chance to steal this one outright.

Some trends to note. Yankees are 84-39 in their last 123 during game 2 of a series.. Yankees are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. American League West.. Yankees are 40-15 in their last 55 home games vs. a team with a losing record. Yankees are 39-16 in their last 55 Wednesday games. 

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB RL Play

Rangers RL

Probable Pitchers: TOR - K. Gausman-R vs TEX - M. Perez-L

On Friday we have a nice AL League betting matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays (38-32, 19-19 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Texas Rangers (42-26, 22-12 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Kevin Gausman (5-3, 3.12 ERA, 117 SO) taking on Martin Perez. (6-2, 4.67 ERA, 51 SO)

Texas had a struggle of a series against the Angels and now look to rebound here against the Jays. The Rangers fell in 3 of 4 to LA, but this is a nice bounce back spot. 

Martin Perez has 6 wins on the season and he continues to produce solid outings for this Rangers side. He's been a huge key to their success and comes in 3-0 at home with an ERA of just 1.40. He's been dominant in this ballpark and continues to give solid starts.

Gausman was rocked by the Twins last time out for 6 runs. He's just 3-3 on the road and comes in with no momentum after last time out. 

Some trends to note, the Rangers are 11-3 in their last 14 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game, are 10-3 in their last 13 games following a loss, plus they're 6-2 in their last 8 home games vs. a right-handed starter, and finally they're 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.

Back the Rangers on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Pittsburgh +1.5

Probable Pitchers: PIT - O. Bido-R vs CHC - D. Smyly-L

We're on the Pirates RL here as they take on the Cubs on Wednesday night.

Pittsburgh sits 3 games over the .500 mark, while the Cubs are 8 games below. Pittsburgh also sits a game over the .500 on the road as they have proven they can go into opposing ballparks and come out victorious. 

Drew Smyly gets the ball for the Cubs, and he has struggled as of late. He's 0-3 with an ERA near 6 in those outings. He's been unable to dig himself out of early holes and this Pirates lineup is one that will make him work.

Bido counters for Pitt and he will be making his first start of the regular season.

Some trends to note. Pirates are 11-5 in their last 16 games vs. a left-handed starter. Pirates are 13-6 in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Pirates are 17-8 in their last 25 vs. a team with a losing record.

Back Pittsburgh RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Orioles +1.5

Probable Pitchers: TOR - C. Bassitt-R vs BAL - D. Kremer-R 

On Tuesday we have a nice AL East betting matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays (37-30, 18-17 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Baltimore Orioles (41-24, 20-12 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Chris Bassitt (7-4, 3.29 ERA, 70 SO) taking on Dean Kremer. (6-3, 4.89 ERA, 59 SO)

Baltimore has been the surprise team in the MLB thus far and they catch a very nice price on the RL here. They come in 20-12 at home this season and winners of 4 in a row.

Kremer gets the ball with a 3-1 home record. He was knocked around last time out, but has shown some solid signs throughout this season when he's on the hill.

Bassitt counters with a 4.12 ERA over his last 3 starts. He's been knocked around at times and struggled with his command, which gives us a nice edge as these Baltimore hitters really make opposing pitchers work.

Some trends to note, the Orioles are 4-0 in their L4 overall, 7-1 in their last 8 vs. American League East, and are 4-1 in their L5 home games. On the other side the Blue Jays are 3-14 in their L17 vs. American League East, and are 2-5 in their L7 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Back the O's at home on the RL. The O's are 4-1 in their L5 vs. the Jays.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play

Reds +1.5

Probable Pitchers: LAD - N. Syndergaard-R vs CIN - B. Williamson-L 

On Wednesday we get the LA Dodgers (35-26, 15-16 on the road, 4-6 L10) taking on the Cincinnati Reds (28-33, 16-17 at home, 6-4 L10) in NL gambling action. On the bumps we get Noah Syndergaard (1-4, 6.54 ERA / 9.90 ERA on the road with 35 SO) taking on Brandon Williamson (0-0, 4.29 ERA, 18 SO).

The Reds are one of the scrappiest teams in the MLB right now. They continue to never be out of games and come in with momentum after erasing a 5 run deficit on Tuesday night.

They take on Noah Syndergaard, who should not be this high of a favorite. He has struggled in each start and just hasn't given this Dodgers side any sort of consistency. He typically will rack up his pitch count early and put a lot of traffic on the bases. 

Look for the Reds to get plenty of scoring chances here and with the confidence they have right now, this is a nice spot for them. 

Some trends to note, the Dodgers are 1-4 in their last 5 overall, and are 1-4 in their last 5 road games. The Reds are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win. 

Back the Reds on the RL. If you're feeling risky bet them on the ML. I don't trust Syndergaard at all.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB RL Play

Marlins -1.5

Probable Pitchers: KC - J. Lyles-R vs MIA - E. Cabrera-R 

On Wednesday we get the Kansas City Royals (18-43, 9-20 on the road, 3-7 L10) taking on the Miami Marlins (34-28, 20-13 at home, 8-2 L10) in Interleague gambling action. On the bumps we get Jordan Lyles (0-9, 6.89 ERA, 53 SO) taking on Edward Cabrera (4-4, 4.50 ERA, 76 SO).

Kansas City has been a solid fade this year. This team is an absolute struggle from top to bottom and they come in off another loss on Tuesday night. They've struggled mightily on the road and Jordan Lyles has been attrocious.

The RH comes in 0-9 on the year, yes you read that right. His ERA is near 7 and he just hasn't given this Kansas City side much hope when he is on the hill. He is 0-4 on the road and has a near 10 ERA on the road as well.

Cabrera counters and he's been phenomenal at home. 4-0 with an ERA of under 3, he's been a force in Miami. 

Some trends to note, Miami is on a 5-0 run, and they're 6-0 in their last 6 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. The Royals are 18-37 in their last 55 games following a loss, and are 16-36 in their last 52 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game, plus they're 5-12 in their last 17 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter.

The Royals are 1-5 in their L6 vs. the NL, and Miami is on a 7-0 run in interleague play. Back the Marlins on the RL. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* MLB RL Play

Pirates -1.5

Probable Pitchers: OAK - J. Kaprielian-R vs PIT - M. Keller-R 

On Tuesday we get the Oakland Athletics (12-50, 5-26 on the road, 2-8 L10) taking on the Pittsburgh Pirates (32-27, 16-13 at home, 7-3 L10) in Interleague gambling action. On the bumps we get James Kaprielian (0-6, 8.12 ERA, 38 SO) taking on Mitch Keller (7-1, 3.25 ERA, 93 SO).

Fading the A's has been profitable any which way you look at it. 

This is a clear cut pitching mis match on Tuesday night.

Kaprielian goes for the A's and comes In with a dreadful record and ERA. His struggles have been in just about every area as he has failed to give the A's any sort of confidence when he's on the mound. He's allowed 8 runs combined over his last 2 starts coming into play here.

Mitch Keller has been the opposite. The RH has 7 wins and is pitching like an ace right now. He's got a lot of run support in his starts and is a solid 3-0 with a 2.18 ERA at home. 

Some trends to note, the Pirates are 6-0 in their L6, 5-0 in their last 5 games following a win, and are 4-0 in their last 4 home games. The Athletics are 10-41 in their last 51 games vs. a right-handed starter, 10-47 in their last 57 overall, and head to head the A's are 1-7 in their L8 vs. Pittsburgh.

Back the Pirates on the RL. They're 4-1 in their L5 vs. the A's.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB RL Play

Philadelphia +1.5 

Probable Pitchers: PHI - D. Covey-R vs ATL - S. Strider-R

The Phillies and Braves battle on Sunday Night Baseball and we're on the Phillies here on the RL.

Philadelphia has taken 2 out of the first 3 games in this series and they aren't shy about coming at one of the favorites in the National League.

The Phillies have done it with timely hitting and strong pitching, as they're getting various different against Arizona last time out.

Some trends to note. Phillies are 26-10 in their last 36 during game 4 of a series. Phillies are 7-3 in their last 10 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. Phillies are 9-4 in their last 13 games following a win.

Back Philadelphia RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

Probable Pitchers: OAK - J. Sears-L vs SEA - L. Gilbert-R

Thursday we get the (10-41, 5-21 on the road, 1-9 L10) Oakland A's taking on the Seattle Mariners. (25-24, 13-12 at home, 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get JP Sears (0-3, 4.99 ERA, 51 SO) taking on Logan Gilbert (2-2, 3.81 ERA, 63 SO).  

Seattle is starting to pick things up finally.

The M’s sit 1 game above the .500 mark and go for the sweep today of the A’s. Oakland continues to be atrocious as they’re getting very little production all around. 

Seattle sends out Gilbert, who is 1-0 with an era of just 3.53 in eight career outings against Oakland. He comes in after tossing a quality start against the Braves, going 6 innings, allowing just 2 runs in the process. 

JP Sears counters him and he is still in search of win number 1. The LH is 0-3 with an ERA of nearly 5 thus far. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Athletics are 1-7 in the last 8 vs. the M's, and 16-35 in the last 51. Plus, the A's are 10-41 in their last 51 overall, and 0-4 in their last 4 during game 4 of a series. The Mariners are 12-2 in their last 14 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and 21-7 in their last 28 during game 4 of a series.

Back the M's on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB RL Play

Reds +1.5

Probable Pitchers: STL - S. Matz-L vs CIN - B. Lively-R 

Wednesday we get the (22-28, 11-13 on the road, 7-3 L10) St. Louis Cardinals taking on the Cincinnati Reds. (20-28, 13-13 at home, 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Steven Matz (0-5, 5.05 ERA, 43 SO) taking on Ben Lively (1-2, 2.45 ERA, 10 SO). 

The Reds have been a scrappy team and they have value on the RL.

Cincinnati has found ways to stay in games and really make things miserable for opposing teams at times. 

Steven Matz gets the ball for the Cards, as he is 0-5 with a 5.05 ERA. The LH has struggled with command and allowing early runs, which has not allowed him to get deep into games. 

Lively counters for the Reds with an ERA of just 2.45. He allowed only 2 runs over 5.2 innings of work against a good Yankees lineup last time out. He is a reliever who has stepped into this rotation and given the Reds good chances every time he takes the ball. 

Some trends to note, the Cardinals are 3-7 in their L10 vs. a team with a losing record, and are 2-5 in their L7 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Lastly, the Cardinals are 20-41 in their L61 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. On the other side, the Reds are 8-0 in their L8 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back the Reds on the runline +1.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* MLB RL Play

Cardinals +1.5

Probable Pitchers: LAD - J. Urias-L vs STL - A. Wainwright-R 

The LA Dodgers (28-16, 11-9 on the road, 8-2 L10) hit the road for Game 1 vs. the Cardinals (18-26, 8-14 at home, 8-2 L10) on Thursday. Pitching we get Julio Urias (5-3, 3.61 ERA, 52 SO) taking on Adam Wainwright (0-0, 7.20 ERA, 7 SO).

St. Louis is starting to figure things out here. They come in winners in 5 of their last 6 as they open this series with LA.

Adam Wainwright has gone 5.0 innings in both of his starts this season and he's a vet who has seen plenty of this Dodgers lineup throughout his career.

Urias counters with a 3+ ERA entering Thursday. The LH is just 1-2 on the road this season and has an ERA of 6.10. He's struggled away from Dodgers Stadium and will have a tough lineup to deal with that is playing with a ton of confidence right now. 

Some trends to note, the Cardinals are 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game, are 5-1 in their last 6 overall, lastly they're 41-18 in their last 59 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back the Cards on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* MLB RL Play

Seattle -1.5

Probable Pitchers: SEA - L. Castillo-R vs BOS - N. Pivetta-R

Seattle (21-20) and Boston (22-20) meet in Game 2 on Tuesday. We're on the Mariners RL after they dominated 10-1 Monday night. Seattle is catching fire and now with their ace on the mound, there is a ton of value with them.

Luis Castillo allowed 3 runs in 5.0 innings last time out against the Rangers, but he still has been extremely consistent. Sitting with an ERA of just 2.70, he has been dominant and the backbone to this rotation. Pivetta counters, with a 6.23 ERA of his own. The RH allowed 7 runs last time out to the Braves and will have his hands full with this lineup.

Some trends to note. Mariners are 14-4 in their last 18 vs. American League East. Mariners are 17-6 in their last 23 Tuesday games. Mariners are 10-4 in their last 14 overall.

It wasn't pretty before the M's came to town after getting swept at home by St. Louis, the Red Sox have now lost for the sixth time in 7 games, after their 8 game run.

Back Seattle RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

Nationals +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Peterson (L) vs. Corbin (R)

The N.Y. Mets (20-21, 13-13 on the road, 4-6 L10) are in Washington again to take on the Nationals (17-23, 7-14 at home, 5-5 L10) on Monday. David Peterson (1-5, 7.68 ERA, 40 SO) takes on Patrick Corbin (1-5, 4.87 ERA, 30 SO). On Monday, the teams will conclude their four-game series in Washington, with the Nationals aiming to even out the series.

In his last game out despite Corbin (1-5) giving up three runs (2 earned) on 8 hits, striking out 3 without issuing a walk over 6 innings, he suffered a loss against the Giants on Tuesday. This year he holds a 4.87 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and a 30:9 K:BB ratio across 8 starts, totaling 44.1 innings. Notably, in the game prior to that, he pitched a 1-hitter against the Cubs, making it into the 7th inning. Last game out Peterson struggled in place of Scherzer taking on the Reds. He allowed 4 earned runs on 7 hits and 2 walks over just 3.1 innings.

Some trends to note, the Mets are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter, and are 1-6 in their last 7 games with the total set at 7-8.5, plus they are 0-6 in their last 6 games following a win. On the other side the Nationals are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss, lastly they're 7-1 in their last 8 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

The Mets are underachieving, and the Nats are exactly who we thought they were. 

Back the Nats on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Gilbert (R) vs. Wentz (L)

The Mariners (20-19, 10-7 on the road, 7-3 L10) take on the Tigers (17-21, 8-9 at home, 6-4 L10) Sunday afternoon.

In the previous game, Logan Gilbert (1-2) suffered a loss despite an impressive performance, conceding 2 runs on 3 hits and 1 walk in 6.2 innings against Texas. He achieved season-high stats with 10 strikeouts, showcasing his reliability. Unfortunately, the Mariners' offense lacked a heartbeat in this game. The bats were VERY flat. Gilbert stands out as an exceptional young pitcher in MLB, boasting an impressive 1.07 WHIP and striking out 40 batters in just 33.2 innings. Conversely, Wentz (1-3) secured a victory for the Tigers, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits in 5.2 innings. He recorded 5 strikeouts and 3 walks in his last outing vs. Cleveland. 

Seattle has won the first two games of this series and their momentum is starting to turn. Their bats have mostly been silent thus far in 2023, and they're among the lead leaders in strikeouts. But, we're going back to the well again with this play on the M's runline Sunday vs. the Tigers. Rodriguez is heating up, as is Hernandez. Kelenic is among the lead leaders in hitting this year, and France continually gets on base. This lineup is starting to turn the page.

Some trends to note, M's are 28-11 in the last 39 vs. the Tigers, plus the Mariners are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and are 6-0 in their last 6 road games. On the other side the Tigers are 1-4 in their last 5 games after losing the first 2 games of a series, and lastly they're 7-15 in their last 22 games following a loss.

Back the M's on the runline. They're 5-0 in their L5 vs. the Tigers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* MLB RL Play (Small Play)

Mariners RL

Probable Pitchers: Miller (R) vs. Faedo (R)

Game 2 in Detroit on Saturday between the Mariners (19-19, 9-7 on the road, 7-3 L10) and the Tigers (17-20, 8-8 at home, 7-3 L10). On the bumps we have Bryce Miller making his third big league start. (1-0, 0.75 ERA, 15 SO) taking on Alex Faedo (0-0, 3.86 ERA, 1 SO)

In his MLB season debut on Sunday, Faedo made his first start in the majors and gave up three runs (two earned) in 4.2 innings against the Cardinals. Bryce Miller (1-0) delivered an impressive performance last game out. He allowed only 2 hits and 1 walk over 6 scoreless innings on Sunday, striking out 5 batters and securing a victory against Houston. Prior to that game, in his first MLB appearance against Oakland, Miller showcased his skills by pitching striking out 10 batters, surrendered just 1 run, and allowed a mere 2 baserunners in 6 innings, although the game ended in a no-decision against Oakland.

Some trends to note, Mariners are 4-0 in their L4 road games vs. a team with a losing record, and are 5-0 in their last 5 road games Lastly, they are 27-11 in the last 38 vs. the Tigers. On the other side the Tigers are 9-23 in their last 32 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game, plus they're 3-7 in their last 10 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Back the M's, they are 4-0 in the L4 meetings in Detroit. Bryce Miller looks like the next big thing. He's been outstanding.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* MLB RL Play

Rangers -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Perez (L) vs. Waldichuk (L)

On the bumps tonight we get Martin Perez (4-1, 3.86 ERA, 28 SO) taking on Ken Waldichuk (1-2, 7.25 ERA, 31 SO). The Texas Rangers come into this game 23-14, 11-8 on the road, and 7-3 in their L10. While the A's are 3-31, 3-16 at home, and 3-7 in their L10.

AL West foes clash as Texas and Oakland meet on Friday night. We're on the Rangers here, laying the RL.

Oakland has been a mess this season and things just keep finding ways to get worse for them. They have struggled with both hitting and their entire pitching staff, all while they are getting set to move to Las Vegas.

Texas sends out Martin Perez, who is looking to bounce back from his worst start of the season. Remove his last outing and he has allowed 3 runs or less in every outing. Perez is 2-1 away from home here in 2023, with plenty of experience pitching on the road as 5 of his starts have been away from Arlington.

Waldichuk counters him for Oakland. He went just 5.0 innings last time out allowing 4 runs against the Royals. He has an ERA of 4.96 at home this season as well. 

Some trends to note, Rangers are 5-1 in their last 6 overall, are 5-1 in their last 6 road games, and are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Oakland. On the other side the Athletics are 0-7 in their last 7 vs. American League West, are 13-39 in their last 52 overall, finally they're 15-36 in their last 51 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back the Rangers -1.5, they're 5-2 in the L7 vs. the A's.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Friday 8* MLB RL Play

Cleveland -1.5 +110

Cleveland (16-19) and Detroit (17-19) clash in Game 2 of this series.

We're on Cleveland here, laying the RL. 

The Guardians fell in the series opener and now look to rebound with their ace on the mound. Bieber is set up for these kinds of games as the Guards need to start figuring things out. Offensively, they have been so inconsistent, but you can feel the confidence is still there. Josh Bell said the best is yet to come for this team following yesterday's loss and he will look to lead them here on Tuesday night. 

Expect Bieber to set the tone and for Cleveland to come out making Lorenzen work. They're familiar with him from his days with the Reds and should be able to rack his pitch count up early.

Last game out, a rare off night for Shane, during a 4-3 loss to the Yankees in extra innings on Wednesday, Bieber gave up two runs on five hits and one walk over eight innings. He managed to strike out four, but his performance did not affect the decision. Expect a bounceback tonight.

Some trends to note. Guardians are 15-5 in their last 20 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. Guardians are 30-14 in their last 44 vs. American League Central. Guardians are 17-8 in their last 25 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Back Cleveland RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB RL Play

Yankees -1.5

Probable Pitchers: OAK - J. Sears-L vs NYY - N. Cortes-L

Oakland (8-27) and New York (18-17) open a series in the Bronx on Monday. This is just what the Yankees need. They take on an Oakland team that just has absolutely nothing right now.

New York has battled injuries and has struggled with finding consistency. Taking on a struggling and reeling A's team should be able to get them going. Look for Cortes to set the tone here, as he has been solid thus far at home. He comes into play logging 18.0 innings inside Yankee stadium, allowing just 6 runs.

Some trends to note. Athletics are 0-5 in the last 5 meetings in New York. Athletics are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings. Yankees are 67-32 in their last 99 home games. Yankees are 46-22 in their last 68 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

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

The Seattle Mariners (14-16, 7-7 on the road, 5-5 L10) continue to work the Athletics (6-25, 3-14 at home, 2-8 in their L10) bullpen in this series with a big win in extra's last night, and are starting to look like a team on a roll with Julio Rodriguez coming back from injury. They put up all those runs in the 10th without their hottest hitter Jarred Kelenic who was tossed earlier in the game. 

This afternoon we get George Kirby (2-2, 2.93) vs. Drew Rucinski. Kirby, 25, was 1-0 and carted a 4.43 ERA in 4 starts in 2022 vs. the A's as a rookie. On Thursday, despite pitching 8 innings and striking out 7 batters, Kirby suffered a tough loss as he allowed 1 run on 4 hits and a walk during the game against Philadelphia. His ERA was reduced to 2.93 while maintaining an impressive 0.95 WHIP and a remarkable K:BB ratio of 24:2.

Some trends to note, the Mariners are 5-2 in their last 7 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game, and are 35-16 in their L51 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Head to head the Mariners are 25-8 in the L33 meetings, and 13-4 in the last 17 meetings in Oakland.

Back the Mariners on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB RL Play

Tigers +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Verlander (R) vs. Rodriguez (L)

Detroit (12-17) and New York (16-15) meet on Thursday in the series finale. 

Detroit swept a doubleheader from the Mets on Tuesday night as right now this Mets team is struggling. They have had issues with both timely hitting and digging themselves into deep holes early with their pitching.

Justin Verlander gets the nod against his old ball club here, coming back from injury. He'll be on a pitch count as well, which may not be the best with the way the Tigers are making hitters work. 

Look for them to rack up his pitch count early and lean on Rodriguez, who has been pitching like an ace. 

Some trends to note, Tigers are 5-0 in their last 5 interleague home games, 4-0 in their last 4 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter. Head to head between these two clubs, the Mets are 3-9 in the L12, and 1-5 in their L6 in Detroit. On the other side the Mets are 0-4 in their last 4 road games.

Back the Tigers on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 6* MLB RL Play

Reds +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Weaver (R) vs. Snell (L)

Cincinnati (12-16) and San Diego (15-14) meet on Monday to start a series.

This is a let down spot for the Padres. San Diego just comes back from sweeping the Mexican series and switching gears quickly to take on the Reds is going to be a tough task. Cincinnati is very scrappy as well, which adds value to this RL.

Snell has struggled this year, as he hasn't made it past the 5th inning in any of his 5 starts. The Reds will make him work and rack his pitch count up early.

Look for Cincinnati to keep this close throughout as they'll even have a chance to steal it outright. 

Some trends to note, Reds are 5-0 in their L5 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game, and are 5-1 in their L6 overall.

Back the Reds on the RL. Lastly, they are 4-1 in their last 5 during game 1 of a series. On the other side the Padres are 1-5 in their last 6 games with the total set at 7-8.5, and they're 2-5 in their last 7 during game 1 of a series.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB RL Play

Rockies +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Kelly (R) vs. Freeland (L)

The Arizona Diamondbacks (14-12, 5-5 L10, 6-6 on the road) will take on the Colorado Rockies (8-18, 5-5 L10, 3-7 at home) Friday night. On the hill, we've got two decent chuckers locked and loaded for a nice AL West clash.

Merrill Kelly (3.45 ERA) versus Kyle Freeland (4.32 ERA). Last games out for each, both pitchers have had their share of ups and downs this season. Kelly (1-3) stumbled in his last outing against the Padres, allowing four runs on three hits and five walks. However, he managed to strike out seven batters in five innings. Freeland (2-2) had a bumpy ride in his previous start, giving up three homers and four runs against the Phillies in six innings.

Kelly has never been great in Colorado, and Freeland is a better pitcher than he showed last game out when we also played on him. Plus with Colorado winning its first series of the season recently versus the Guardians they're starting to play better ball. 

Some trends to note, Rockies are 27-12 in their last 39 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. The Diamondbacks are 5-12 in the L17 meetings in the Mile High City, plus they are 0-6 in their last 6 games following an off day.

Back the Rockies on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Rangers RL

Probable Pitchers: Cole (R) vs. Heaney (L)

Thursday the New York Yankees (14-11, 5-4 on the road, 5-5 L10) take on the Texas Rangers (14-10, 8-4 at home, 6-4 L10). These two clubs open a 4-game set. Last game out the Yanks avoided a sweep and beat the Twins 12-6. For Texas they were swept by the Reds, but before that were playing some pretty good ball winning 6 of 7. We think they'll get back to home cooking versus the Yanks behind Andrew Heaney. 2-0 (1.13 ERA) L3 starts.

On Saturday, Heaney (2-1 4.34 ERA) secured a victory with a 2-1 score, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4 against the Athletics. In his recent performances, Heaney has only allowed 2 earned runs in the past 16 innings he pitched, following his early-season struggle when he conceded 7 runs in just 2.2 innings vs. the O's in early April. The lefty is on top of his game.

On the flip side, he will be facing Gerrit Cole who, despite giving up 4 hits and 2 walks, did not affect the outcome of the game last Saturday. Cole pitched 5.2 scoreless innings against the Blue Jays and managed to strike out 4. He's 5-4 with a 3.84 ERA in 13 starts vs. Texas.

Some trends to note, the Yanks are 1-4 in their L5, 1-4 in their L5 vs. a team with a winning record, and the Yankees are 0-6 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. On the flip side Texas is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record, and are 10-4 in their last 14 home games.

Back the Rangers on the RL. Heaney will keep the Yanks in check.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 8* MLB RL Play

Orioles RL

Probable Pitchers: Gibson (R) vs. Wentz (L)

Thursday the Baltimore Orioles (16-8, 7-4 on the road, 8-2 L10) take on the Detroit Tigers (9-14, 4-4 at home, 5-5 L10).

Baltimore knew their window would be opening up and they've shown it through the first month of the season so far. They come in a solid 8 games over .500 and have nice edge here. Winning 8 of their last 10, the O's are red hot and take on a Tigers team that is struggling.

Baltimore, if anything, should be able to out slug this Detroit side. They constantly put traffic on the bases and are making opposing pitchers work. Wentz was knocked round by Baltimore for 5 runs last time out as well, as his confidence is simply down here. 

Some trends to note, the O's are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter, 8-1 in their L9, and are 4-0 in their L4 vs. Detroit. On the other side the Tigers are 1-5 in their L6 games vs. a right-handed starter, and finally they're 6-20 in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back the Orioles on the RL with plus money.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 7* MLB RL Play

Guardians -1.5 

Probable Pitchers: COL - A. Gomber-L vs CLE - C. Quantrill-R

Cleveland (11-11) and Colorado (6-17) clash on Monday night in Cleveland.

We're on the Guardians here, laying the RL. Cleveland's offense woke up in a big way Sunday, putting up 7 runs. It was a welcoming sight as Josh Bell and Jose Ramirez both went yard in the process. 

They welcome in the Rockies, who are just 3-10 on the road this season. Gomber gets the ball, as he is 0-4 this year. He got rocked last time out and just has had nothing go right to start his season.

Cal Quantrill counters him and he has battled through his first few outings as well. He pitched very well last time out in Detroit and should be able to carry that momentum into play here.

Some trends to note. Rockies are 11-28 in their last 39 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Rockies are 3-8 in their last 11 vs. American League Central. Rockies are 7-19 in their last 26 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL Play

Cubs -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Stroman (R) vs. Waldichuk (L)

Chicago (9-6) and Oakland (3-14) meet in Game 2 of their weekday set.

Oakland is what we expected. From getting no fans in attendance, to not even allowing the opposing teams to use the normal broadcast booth because of a possum, this A's team is a mess. Their product on the field has been sub par to say the least and they're worth fading.

Chicago throttled them in the series opener and Stroman should have plenty of success here against them. Stroman is 2-1 with an ERA of just 1.00 so far, as he has been lights out. 

Left-hander Ken Waldichuk goes for Oakland, as he is 0-2 with an ERA of over 10. He's been knocked around and has struggled with his command. While he has been the only Oakland pitcher to reach the 6.0 inning mark, he is going to have his issues with this Cubs lineup that comes in with a lot of momentum. 

Some trends to note, the Cubs are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a left-handed starter, are 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a left-handed starter, and they're 4-1 in their last 5 road games, and 6-2 in their last 8 interleague games. Plus they're 8-3 in their last 11 overall. Head to head with the A's the Cubs are 6-1 in the L7.

Back the Cubs on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* MLB RL Play

Padres +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Fried (L) vs. Weathers (L)

Atlanta (12-4) and San Diego (8-9) battle on Monday night.

We're on the Padres RL here, at home. San Diego has fared well in their recent head to head battle with the Braves. They've cashed in 4 of the last 5 overall against them and they come into play looking to turn things around. They should get up for an opponent like this, especially at home.

Ryan Weathers has logged 5.0 innings in both starts this year and has seen the Padres go 2-0 in those outings. He's always been a consistent pitcher, who comes out and will eat some innings and give his team a chance to win.

Fried counters, as he comes off the IL. Rust will play a role here for him, as well as limited pitch count. Look for him to struggle early on here and for San Diego to really try and make him work in the early portion of this game. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Padres are 4-1 vs. the Braves in their L5. Also, the Padres are 4-1 in their last 5 home games with the total set at 7-8.5, are 8-3 in their L11 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game, and are 9-4 in their L13 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lastly, the Braves are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. National League West.

Back the Padres on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Monday 7* MLB RL Play

Mariners -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Gomber (L) vs. Gonzales (L)

Seattle (5-8) and Colorado (5-8) meet in Seattle on Friday night.

We're playing the Mariners RL here. 

Seattle avoided a sweep in Chicago and comes home with some momentum. After a 3-3 road swing on the east coast, they now will look to do some damage here against a lesser opponent. The Rockies have struggled away from home to score runs and Gonzales has been solid to start the year with two starts against Cleveland.

Gomber has been touched for 8 runs through his first two starts and this Seattle offense is starting to heat up themselves. Look for them to make him work and rack his pitch count up early. 

Some trends to note, the Rockies are 2-7 in their L9 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game, and are 1-4 in their L5 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter. On the other side the Mariners are 8-1 in their L9 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and finally are 30-14 in their L44 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back the M's on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Blue Jays -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Rodriguez (L) vs. Gausman (R)

Toronto (7-4) and Detroit (2-8) meet on Wednesday night. We're on the Jays RL here.

Detroit has been an ultimate fade this thus far, as this team hasn't been able to do much right. They've struggled to put together solid at bats and their starting pitching has been horrible.

Toronto's offense put up 9 runs against them Tuesday and they'll have plenty of success against Rodriguez here. He isn't a strike out pitcher and pitching to contact in this ballpark, against this offense, is never going to be a successful formula.

The Jays are the better team overall and this one should be lopsided. 

Some trends to note, Tigers are 0-5 in their last 5 overall, and they're 2-8 in their last 10 road games, plus they're 0-4 in their last 4 games with the total set at 7-8.5. On the other side the Jays are 6-1 in their last 7 overall, 4-1 in their L5 games following a win, 4-1 in their L5 in Toronto vs. Detroit, and are 5-1 vs. Detroit in their L6. 

Back the Jays on the RUNLINE.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Wednesday 8* MLB RL Play

Rockies +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Mikolas (R) vs. Freeland (L)

St. Louis (3-7) and Colorado (5-6) meet for Game 2 on Tuesday. Last game out the Rockies beat the Cardinals 7-4 on Monday. Tonight it's Kyle Freeland's turn. In the first game, he hurled 6 scoreless innings against San Diego, securing a win on Friday. Only allowing 3 hits and 1 walk. He carried his momentum into his next game, vs. Washington on Thursday. He pitched 6.2 innings without giving up a run, allowing only 4 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5. The left-hander is currently on a remarkable run of 12 consecutive scoreless innings.

Taking the mound for the Cardinals in this matchup is Miles Mikolas, who is set to make his third start of the season. Mikolas has struggled thus far, currently sporting a record of 0-1 with a less-than-ideal 9.64ERA and a 2.143WHIP. During his previous game, the Cardinals were defeated 5-2 by Atlanta, as he allowed 5 runs on 9 hits and 1 walk throughout 6 innings. 

Some trends to note, the Cardinals are 1-4 in their L5 road games, and are 1-6 in their last 7 overall. Plus they are 1-10 in their last 11 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. On the other side the Rockies are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. the NL Central, and head to head the Cardinals are 1-5 in the L6 games in Colorado.

Back the Rockies on the runline behind a strong outing from Freeland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

Orioles -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Sears (L) vs. Gibson (R)

Oakland (2-7) and Baltimore (4-5) meet on Monday and we're on fading Oakland once again. 

The A's have been an ultimate fade this season. They were smacked around the by the Rays this past weekend as this team struggles in every which way. They have a very mediocre lineup at best and defensively they are already one of the worst in the league.

Baltimore is happy to not have to see the Yankees anymore either. The O's still put up a fight themselves this past weekend and they have had a ton of success against the AL West. Combine that with the A's struggling against the AL East themselves and there is value on Baltimore RL.

An early lead will really put Oakland in a hole. They aren't built to come from behind. 

Some trends to note, Athletics are 7-20 in their last 27 vs. AL East, 5-18 in their last 23 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game, are 11-40 in their last 51 during game 1 of a series, and are 1-6 in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing record. On the other side the Orioles are 6-2 in their last 8 games following a loss, also they're 19-7 in their last 26 during game 1 of a series, and finally they are 19-7 in their last 26 vs. AL West.

Seeing as how the A's have lost by at least 2 runs in 6 games thus far this year the runline has value. Back the O's -1.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Monday 8* MLB RL Play

Rays -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Kaprielian (R) vs. Rasmussen (R)

Tampa Bay (8-0) and Oakland (2-6) clash Sunday. 

Tampa Bay has remained perfect to start the season as they are doing everything right. They look for the sweep of the A's, who just are playing with zero confidence right now.

The Rays lineup is making pitchers work and racking up pitch counts early. They've been able to get starting pitchers out of the stretch in the early part of the game, putting traffic on the bases and getting plenty of scoring chances.

Rasmussen threw 6 shutout innings in his debut against the Nats and should have the same success against this weak Oakland lineup. 

Some trends to note, the Athletics are 0-5 in the L5 versus the Rays, are 1-6 in their last 7 overall. On the other side the Rays are 8-0 in their last 8 overall, also they're 5-0 in their last 5 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game, 7-0 in their last 7 games following a win, finally they're 6-0 in their last 6 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

Back the Rays yet again on the RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Sunday 7* MLB RL Play

Rays -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Fujinami (R) vs. Springs (L)

With a 9-5 victory over Oakland in the series opener on Friday, the Rays have begun their season with the best record in franchise history. Starting for Oakland is Japanese import Shintaro Fujinami. Fujinami signed with the A's this past January and the longtime Nippon league pitcher is getting his feet wet in MLB. He got lit up in his first game Saturday as he gave up 8 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks, despite striking out 4 batters in just 2.1 innings.

Springs had a remarkable 2022 season, going 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA in 33 games and 25 starts, making it a breakout year for him. On Sunday, during Tampa Bay's 5-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers, Springs (1-0, 0.00 ERA) exhibited A+ stuff.. He threw 81 pitches, striking out 12 and allowing only 1 walk in 6 innings. 

Some trends to note, the A's are 1-5 in their last 6 overall, are 6-17 in their last 23 vs. AL East, are 2-5 in their last 7 road games vs. a left-handed starter, plus they're 0-4 in their L4 vs. Tampa. Tampa are 7-0 in their L7, and they're 5-0 in their last 5 games with the total set at 7-8.5. They're also 37-17 in their last 54 home games, and lastly they are 5-0 in their L5 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.

The Rays win games by more than 4 runs! 

We're on the Rays here on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Saturday 6* MLB RL Play

Arizona +1.5

Probables: LAD - D. May-R vs ARI - M. Kelly-R

Arizona (3-3) and Los Angeles (4-2) meet on Thursday night. We're on Arizona here on the RL.

The Diamondbacks played well with the Dodgers in their opening series of the year. Now, they shift to Arizona where they'll have a nice crowd on hand here Friday night. 

The Diamondbacks send out Merrill Kelly, who had a short outing in a 2-1 win over LA last week. He threw just over 70 pitches and will be stretched out even more here. He's got strike out stuff and should be able to produce a lot of swings and misses here.

Dustin May counters Kelly, and these two matched up in the 2-1 Dbacks win. 

Some trends to note. Diamondbacks are 7-1 in their last 8 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. Diamondbacks are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back Arizona RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

Tigers +1.5

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

Boston (2-4) and Detroit (2-4) play an early affair on Thursday in Detroit. We're on the Tigers RL here. 

Boston has been very inconsistent to start the year and Chris Sale comes in with little confidence too. He was knocked around by Baltimore in his debut and frustrations set in for him early. This Tigers lineup is scrappy and can cause a lot of issues for him.

Look for them to make him not only work, but rack up his pitch count early. If they can get him working out of the stretch, it's going to be a long day for the southpaw.

Spencer Turnbull also has the ability to bounce back too. He pitches well at home and rarely has bad outings bunched together.

Some trends to note, the Red Sox are 3-13 in their last 16 road games vs. a right-handed starter, are 1-5 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. On the other side the Tigers are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record, are 5-1 in their last 6 home games, and finally are 5-1 in their last 6 home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

Back the Tigers in their home opener +1.5.

Thursday 8* MLB ML Play

Seattle -1.5 +135

Pitching Probables: LAA - J. Suarez-L vs SEA - L. Castillo-R

Seattle (1-4) and Los Angeles (3-1) meet in Game 2 on Tuesday. We're on the Mariners RL in this one.

Seattle needs a win and Castillo is just the guy they want to see here. He logged 6.0 shutout innings against Cleveland in his opener and he's been absolutely dominant since joining Seattle. Look for him to step up and set the tone early in this one.

Combine that with the Mariners lineup making Suarez work and Seattle should put up some early support for Castillo. 

Some trends to note. the Mariners are 13-4 in their last 17 Tuesday games and are 26-10 in their last 36 during game 2 of a series. Seattle is also 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back Seattle.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

Diamondbacks +1.5

Probable Pitchers: Zach Davies (R) vs. Noah Syndergaard (R)

Arizona (1-2) and Los Angeles (2-1) meet on Sunday in the finale of a 4 game set. We're on the Dbacks RL here. 

Arizona RH Zach Davies has matched up very well with the Dodgers in his past. He comes into Sunday with an ERA of just 3.16. Combine that with his dominance at Dodger Stadium, where he's posted a career ERA of only 2.20 over seven starts and there is a lot of value here on the Dbacks.

Davies should keep them in this throughout, while Arizona can even steal this one outright. 

Some trends to note, Dodgers are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 4 of a series. This is a play against Syndergaard who didn't look sharp in the Spring (5.79 ERA). Davies on the other hand has a 3.16 career ERA vs. LAD.

Play the D-Backs on the Runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB RL Play

Dodgers -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Merrill Kelly (R) vs. Dustin May (R)

The Dodgers (1-0) meet with the Diamondbacks (0-1) on Friday night. Los Angeles opened the season as expected, winning 8-2 over the Dbacks. Will Smith recorded 3 hits and drove in 4 runs as he is the going to be one of the catalysts in this offense.

Merrill Kelly takes the ball and his spring training featured some high leverage spots for Team USA in the WBC. He has been abysmal against the Dodges in his career. He comes in 0-9 with an ERA of 5.97 over 63.1 innings of work. 

Dustin May returned from Tommy John Surgery last season and made 6 starts last yer.

Some trends to note, the Diamondbacks are 6-13 in their last 19 overall, are 45-100 in their last 145 road games. Also, when the DBacks play the Dodgers the Diamondbacks are 12-39 in the last 51 games, and 19-60 in the last 79 in LA. Lastly the Dodgers are 38-13 in their L51 home games.

Back the Dodgers on the runline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* MLB RL Play

Philadelphia +1.5

We're on the Phillies RL here. 

Philadelphia and Houston clash in Game 1 of the World Series and the Phillies aren't getting enough respect at this kind of line. The Phillies have used timely hitting and seen their starting pitching step up tremendously during this postseason. 

Nola will look to repeat his performance against the Braves in the NLDS. He stepped up in a big way and gave them a huge start, working deep into the game. He's came up big in many spots during the regular season as well, adding value to him here.

Some trends to note. Phillies are 23-9 in their last 32 Friday games. Phillies are 5-0 in their last 5 games following an off day.

Back Philadelphia RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Houston -1.5

The Astros on the RL are worth the move here in game one of the ALCS.

New York had to play into yesterday and will now start Taillon in Game 1 on Wednesday. Houston's offense should have a field day with him. Look for them to make him work from the outset and try to run his pitch count up, as they want to tax this bullpen. 

The Astros are well rested and tearing the cover off the ball this October.

Yankees are 1-4 in their last 5 playoff road games, 1-5 in the last 6 vs. Houston, and 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Houston. Lay the RL.

Back Houston RL.

Play on the Astros Run Line -105

Tuesday 7* MLB RL PLAY

Dodgers -1.5

The Dodgers are worth the move on the RL.

After dropping last night 6-1, they send out Julio Urias, who has been a huge piece to this team's success. With 17 wins and an ERA of just 2.27, he has really bolstered this rotation and put together a Cy Young worthy campaign. 

Look for him to set the tone here early in this one and for the Dodgers offense to rebound from last night, where they simply didn't put together many good at bats.

Back Dodgers RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

Mariners RL

For the second game of this series we'll see the 12-10 Robbie Ray on the mound. He has an ERA of 3.72 and 1.17 WHIP on the year and is looking to bounce back after taking the loss in his last 2 starts. He's faced Oakland 3 times this season, coming away with a 1-1 record and a 2.41 ERA.

We're on the Yanks RL here with Cole. 

As we get down toward the final month of the season, every game is starting to matter. The Yankees are in the midst of a battle for the top seed with the Astros right now. 

They have far more talent than this Angels team when it comes to offensive production and pitching. Cole can set the tone here and should be able to hold down this Angels lineup. Look for the offense to get going early as New York should cruise to a win.

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Astros RL

Houston has an OPS of .741 but have been even better on the mound, ranking second with an ERA of 3.04 this season. They're selecting the 13-4 Framber Valdez for this one who is on a 5-game win streak when factoring in the decision.

We backed them yesterday here on the -1.5 and they cashed with ease in a route.

This is just two completely different teams. Oakland has been in a free fall, while the Yankees are getting back to their old ways. This is a nice spot for Cole to put together a solid outing, find his groove, and get New York another win. 

Look for him to set the tone and for the offense to get going early once again.

Oakland has been a wreck all season and this team is just far below what the Yankees are. Look for New York to take control of this one early and really allow Taillon to settle in.

Toronto is bringing out Kevin Gausman in this series finale after accumulating a 9-9 record and a 2.99 ERA as well as a 1.24 WHIP. The Blue Jays have won all 4 games he's started against Boston with Gausman picking up the win in 3 of those with a 1.38 ERA.

Toronto -1.5

The Blue Jays are worth the move on the RL.

We backed them on the ML Tuesday and they cashed with ease as they have had the Sox number. Boston is starting to realize their run at a postseason berth is coming to a close and they just don't have the same firepower as the previous seasons. 

Toronto's offense is rolling and will get Berrios some early runs in this one. Expect a lopsided game where Toronto has the chance to continue to add on as the game progresses.

Back Toronto.

The Padres will go with Sean Manaea who has been somewhat inconsistent this year. He's got a 6-6 record with a 4.83 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP but he should hold his own against the lowly Nationals.
