MLB TOP PLAY - Mike's Rangers/Athletics 4* Total

The Rangers have played mostly unders through a seven-game winning streak, despite swinging hot bats. 

They should have no trouble putting runs on the board here against left-hander JP Sears as the Ranger are averaging 6.2 runs per nine innings against left-handers. 

Texas hands the ball to Max Scherzer who is more than capable of shutting out opponents, but note his 5.16 ERA in road starts this season. 

I think we'll see a fair amount of runs scored in this game, and the total looks light to me.

Mike's Blue Jays/Guardians MLB Moneyline Moneymaker

Toronto is on a 7-3 hot streak while Cleveland is 2-8 in its last 10 games. 

Toronto left-hander Yusei Kikuchi is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.04 over his last three starts and he'll face a Guardians team that has averaged only 2.4 runs per nine innings through its last 10 games. 

Cleveland righty Tanner Bibee has been solid, but I don't think he'll get much run support.

Mike's Cubs/Mets MLB CA$H COW

The Mets have a 3-16 team record as underdogs with Carlos Carrasco as the starter. 

Cubs righty Jameson Taillon is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three career starts against the Mets. The Cubs are 4-1 in their last five as favorites with Taillon on the mound. 

I like the Cubs to snap back from yesterday's 11-2 loss to the Mets.

Mike's Braves/Pirates MLB Moneyline Massacre

This looks like a good spot to back Atlanta to snap back from a 7-6 loss to Pittsburgh. 

The Braves are 18-9 as a road favorite of -125 to -175 and 8-2 in the last 10 head-to head meetings, despite last night's loss. 

Pittsburgh righty Mitch Keller had a really strong start to the year, but he has a 5.92 ERA through his last 13 starts.

Mike's **LATE NIGHT** MLB Runline Ripper

The Rangers are coming into the week on a six-game winning streak and they have averaged 8.3 runs per game over their last five games while Oakland has averaged 3.3 rpg over its last five games. 

Oakland left-hander Ken Waldichuk has been bouncing between the role as a starter and the bullpen. Waldichuk is 1-4 with a 7.01 ERA in 14 starts this season and has allowed eight runs on 15 hits over 10 innings in two career starts against Texas. 

Bet on the Rangers -1.5 with 3% of your bankroll.

Mike's Cubs/Mets MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Cubs are playing some of their best baseball of the season while the Mets lost all six games last week. 

Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly has been slapped around in recent starts but he has a 3.41 ERA in 10 road starts on the season and note that the Mets are 11-26 against left-handed starters. 

The Mets hand the ball to Kodai Senga who has been solid, but the team has still lost five of his last eight starts.

Mike's 4% Sunday Night Dodgers/Padres BEST BET

This looks like a great spot to back the Dodgers to bounce back from an 8-3 loss to the Padres. They had won six straight head-to-head meetings and they are 31-14 off a loss this season. 

The Dodgers are 15-9 on the road when the money line is +125 to -125. The Padres are 5-10 at home when the money line is +125 to -125. 

Dodgers righty Lance Lynn (6-9, 6.47 ERA) has had a rough year with the White Sox, but the Dodgers won his team debut and I think we'll see positive regression from Lynn. 

San Diego hands the ball to Rich Hill, a left-hander the Dodgers are quite familiar with.  

Bet this TOP PLAY on the Dodgers with 4% of your bankroll. 

Mike's EARLY Astros/Yankees MLB BOOKIE BREAKER

The Astros took a 3-1 loss to the Yankees on Saturday, but they are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings and 7-2 on the season on Sundays coming off a loss.  

On the season, the Yankees are 8-12 at home when the money line is +125 to -125 while the Astros are 17-13 on the road when the money line is +125 to -125. 

The pitching matchup is pretty much a wash IMO with both pitchers being inconsistent lately, but it's worth noting that the Astros are 19-12 against left-handed starters.

Mike's MLB Moneyline Massacre

Mets left-hander Jose Quintana has made three starts this season, the Mets lost all three.

The Cardinals are 17-22 SU and 14-25 against the runline as home favorites. 

The Rockies are 11-2 against the runline as an underdog on the road of no more than +150. 

Adam Wainwright is 1-4 with an ugly ERA of 8.16 in his home starts this year. 

Colorado right-hander Chris Flexen is 0-5 with a 8.08 ERA over 18 outings (5 starts), but he'll be looking for a fresh start since coming over from Seattle.

Mike's Astros/Yankees MLB Total BOOKIE BU$TER

Yankees Luis Severino (2-5, 7.49 ERA) is having his worst season in the MLB, and it's not even close. Severino gave up nine runs on 10 hits over just 3 1/3 innings of a 9-3 loss at Baltimore in his last start, and Houston right-hander Hunter Brown has posted an ERA of 5.75 over his last seven starts. 

Bet on the OVER with 3% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Nats/Reds MLB Total BOOKIE BREAKER

The Reds' bats are hot and Washington southpaw Patrick Corbin gave up six runs on 10 hits when he faced Cincinnati on July 4. Corbin has an ERA of 6.23 over his last three starts.

Cincinnati ace Graham Ashcraft has been great lately, but he has a 6.71 ERA at home on the season. I think we'll see plenty of fireworks here. 

Bet on the OVER with 3% of your bankroll. 

Mike's LATE NIGHT Mariners/Angels MLB BOOKIE BReaKER

Angels All-Star Shohei Ohtani is the odds-on favorite for the AL MVP, but you always pay a big premium backing him and the Angels are only 8-5 SU and 5-8 against the runline with Ohtani on the bump and not laying more than -160.

Ohtani is coming off a complete game shutout against Detroit, but he had allowed 14 runs through his previous three starts. I think the value is on Seattle and Bryan Woo who allowed only two runs over 4 2/3 innings of a 6-2 win over the Angels back in June. 

Bet on the Mariners +1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Jets/Browns NFL Hall of Fame Game BOOKIE BLA$TER

Neither Jets' Aaron Rodgers nor Browns' Deshaun Watson will take the field and we'll see mostly backups looking to prove themselves.

Jets backup QB Zack Wilson was the starter last year and I think they have the better depth all around.

The Jets went 3-0 last year in the preseason and head coach Robert Saleh has a 5-0 preseason record in his career. 

Bet on the Jets with 3% of your bankroll.

Mike's 4% Mets/Royals MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Mets might technically still have a shot at earning a Wild Card, but looking at their moves at the trade deadline it looks like they've pretty much given up on the season. 

Mets righty Carlos Carrasco has been a huge disappointment and he gave up eight runs (six earned) over 2 1/3 innings against the Nationals in his last start. The Royals have won five in a row and righty Brady Singer struck out a season-high 10 over five innings in his last start. I like my chances on the Royals in this matchup. 

Bet this TOP PLAY on the Royals with 4% of your bankroll. 

Mike's 4% MLB Total Game of the Week TOP PLAY

The Mets hand the ball to Kodai Senga who's been having a great rookie season. He is 7-5 with an ERA of 3.17 for the year and he has a 2.40 ERA at home. The Royals won 7-6 yesterday. They are 13-4 to the under after scoring seven runs or more in their previous game. 

Bet this TOP PLAY on the UNDER with 4% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Orioles/Blue Jays MLB Moneyline Moneymaker

Toronto's bats are in a slump with a total of only seven runs scored over its last three games.

Baltimore right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has an ERA of 3.18 through his last three starts and Baltimore has won seven of his last 10 starts. 

Toronto left-hander Yusei Kikuchi has pitched well lately, but Baltimore is hitting southpaws well and averages 5.9 runs per nine innings against left-handers, well above its 5.0 R/9 average overall.

The Orioles are 24-11 against left-handed starters. 

Bet on the Orioles with 3% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Padres/Rockies MLB Total

The Padres defeated the Rockies 8-5 yesterday, but they are still only 21-18 as a favorite laying -170 or more. Fading them blindly in these spots has generated an ROI of 24.9%.

The Padres are only 12-10 laying -200 or more (2-4 on the road). 

Since the start of last season, Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland has a record of 4-1 with an ERA of 4.95 in seven starts versus San Diego.

Padres righty Joe Musgrove is 1-1 with an ERA of 6.32 in three starts versus the Rockies since the start of last season.

Mike's Tigers/Pirates MLB Total BOOKIE BU$TER

Detroit has scored 4, 5, 5 and 6 runs through its last four games, and all except one went over the total. Pittsburgh's bats came alive at the end of last week and both starting pitchers are at risk of getting lit up each time they take the mound.

The over/under is 14-20 in Rockies home games as underdogs and with a total of 11 or higher.

Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber has an ugly ERA of 7.19 at home on the season, but he has pitched a lot better in recent games and three of his last four home starts went under the total.

Mike's 4% Yankees/Orioles MLB TOP PLAY

The Orioles are 8-3 in Dean Kremer's 11 home starts this season and this looks like a good spot to back Baltimore to bounce back from an 8-3 loss to the Yankees on Saturday. The team is 4-0 in his last four starts, and Kremer has allowed a total of only eight runs over those four starts. 

Yankees starter Luis Severino has a 7.62 ERA in six road starts on the season and he has a 6.88 ERA over his last seven starts.

Colorado has won 10 more games than Oakland for the season, but the A's have won the first two games of this series and Colorado is on a four-game losing streak.

Cardinals righty Adam Wainwright is 0-2 with a 10.08 ERA over his last three starts and he has an ERA of 8.31 over his last seven starts. Wainwright gave up seven runs over just three innings of a 9-1 loss to the Cubs last month.

Arizona has the better record of the two teams but the Mariners are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings and I think they odds favors them here as s road favorite at Arizona. 

Arizona right-hander Bryce Elder is going through a rough patch and he's been tagged with 16 runs over only 12 innings through his last three starts. As the D'backs bats are slumping as well, I like Seattle to follow yesterday's 5-2 win with another W.

Toronto right-hander Alek Manoah has an ERA of 9.00 at home and a 3.92 ERA on the road, but I expect his ERA at home to improve. He posted a 2.42 ERA in 15 home starts last season.

Baltimore right-hander Grayson Rodriguez has pitched well since coming back from a two-month stint with Triple-A Norfolk.

Sure, the Yankees still have a pretty big edge on the mound, but the Orioles have the best record of the two teams and they're coming into the series in first place in the AL East while the Yankees sit in last place in the division.

Mike's MLB Moneyline Massacre

The Braves have yet to heat up following the All-Star break, but I like them to win big here against Milwaukee and Adrian Houser who has an 0-3 record with a 3.42 ERA in five career games (four starts) against Atlanta.

Houser will be opposed by right-hander Yonny Chirinos who will make his team debut since being acquired off waivers from the Rays. I think he's primed for a strong outing. 

Bet on the Braves with 3% of your bankroll.

The Dodgers are coming off back-to-back losses, and this is a team that rarely drops three in a row.

On the season, the Dodgers are 8-4 coming off a pair of losses and while left-hander Julio Urias gave up eight runs at Baltimore in his last start, note that he is 5-1 with a 2.15 ERA at home.

Throughout his career, the Dodgers are 10-3 with Urias on the mound if he gave up five runs or more in his last start, giving us double bounce-back angles on the Dodgers.

The Orioles are 14-6 in Dean Kremer's 20 starts this season and 6-1 in his last seven starts.

The Braves snapped a four-game slide with a 7-5 win against Arizona last night.

The Red Sox are 8-2 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings and the A's had lost seven in a row before shutting out Boston in a 3-0 win last night.

The Red Sox are 8-2 in their last 10 overall and they won seven of those games by at least two runs. 

Boston right-hander Brayan Bello is 4-1 with a 2.21 ERA in his past six starts while Oakland left-hander Ken Waldichuk (2-6, 6.66 ERA) has struggled all season.

White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito has been a lot sharper at home than on the road and the team is only 7-12 in his 19 starts overall this season.

The Mets counter with Carlos Carrasco who admittedly has struggled at home, but has heated up since a slow start to the year, and he is 1-0 with a 2.12 ERA over his last three starts overall.

The Mets scored only three runs through a three-game series against the Dodgers over the weekend, but I think their bats will come alive here. This is a good price on a, IMO, much better Mets team that has underperformed big time so far.

Mike's Dodgers/Mets MLB *BOOKIE BREAKER*

The Dodgers are going for the sweep of the series and Mets veteran righty Max Scherzer has not been particularly sharp lately with nine runs allowed over 11 innings in his last two starts combined. 

Dodgers rookie righty has also been knocked around lately following a hot start to the year, but the team has won his last three starts and the Dodgers are 6-2 in his eight starts this year.

Martin Perez allowed six runs over only 1 1/3 innings of a 12-11 loss to Houston in his last start but since the start of the 2022 season. Perez's team is 10-5 if he gave up five runs or more in his last start. 

The Rangers are a solid 29-18 at home this season and they are going for the sweep of this three-game series after outscoring Cleveland 14-4 through the first two games.

Mike's Super Early Giants/Pirates MLB *BOOKIE BU$TER*

The Pirates have lost both of the first two games of this series, and they have a record of 2-8 in their last 10 games.

Pittsburgh rookie right-hander Osvaldo Bido has made five career starts, of which the team lost four. Bido has an ERA of 6.23 over his last three starts. This is a revenge game for Giants left-hander Alex Wood after giving up six runs against Pittsburgh back in May. He's a lot better than that, and two of his last three starts were of the scoreless variety. 

OK, this is basically a 9 AM game for San Francisco, but Pittsburgh's bats are cold and at this price I like the Giants to get it done.

Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker (10-3, 4.02 ERA) gave up four runs against the Rays in his last start, but he had allowed a total of only three runs in his last five starts prior to that. Walker is 4-0 with a 2.13 ERA over 38 innings at home this season.

Rublev is in excellent form on grass, with only one loss so far this year.

Sure, Djokovic has a 3-1 head-to-head record against Rublev, but Rublev is a tough opponent who can keep the match close.

Djokovic wasn't dominant against Hurkacz in his previous match, the game margin was only +2 games.

Houston picked up a 3-2 win yesterday after losing the first two games of the series, but I like Seattle to close out the set with a win on Sunday.

Houston right-hander Brandon Bielak is coming off seven shutout innings against Colorado, but he had allowed five runs in each of his last two starts prior to that.

Miami rookie right-hander Eury Perez (5-2, 2.47 ERA) has had a great start in the big leagues, despite giving up six runs on seven hits in a 7-0 loss to Atlanta last time out. 

Miami has outscored the Cards 30-15 through the first three games of the series, and I think they'll complete the sweep with a win tonight.

It's always gonna be ugly backing a .400 team like Washington to win outright, but they are 8-9 SU and 13-4 against the runline with Josiah Gray (6-6, 3.30 ERA) as the starter this year. 

Reds righty Graham Ashcroft is 3-6 with a 6.66 ERA over 15 starts and he is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in his last three starts. The team has won only two of his last seven starts.

Mike's Braves/Guardians Moneyline

The Braves are the hottest team in baseball. They've averaged 7.00 runs per game over their last nine. They won nine of those contests and scored 10 runs in the game they lost ... 

Here they'll hand the ball to left-hander Kolby Allard his second career start. Allard held Minnesota scoreless over 4 2/3 innings in his debut. 

The Guardians counter with Shane Bieber who has a 3.48 ERA for the season, but he has allowed nine runs through his last three starts. 

I expect the Braves bats to stay hot, but would also not be surprised if Cleveland can score some runs off Allard. I like the price we get on the Braves and I also like the over.

Over their last 10 games, the Braves have averaged 7.60 runs per game. 

Miami's bats are not quite as hot, but they should be able to score runs off Charlie Morton who has allowed eight runs (six earned) over his last two starts.
