The Dodgers came from behind to beat Toronto in extra innings last night and here they'll face Toronto left-hander Yusei Kikuchi who has allowed 10 runs over 14 innings through his last three starts. Kikuchi is 0-1 with an ERA of 6.55 in two starts against the Dodgers in his career.

The Dodgers counter with Tony Gonsolin who has not been at his very best of late, but the Dodgers are still 3-0 in his last three starts and the Dodgers are 5-2 in his seven home starts for the season.

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.

Texas has a better record at 59-41 versus Houston's 56-44, but I'm not convinced they're the better team.

Houston righty Brandon Bielak has allowed only two earned runs over 17 2/3 innings of work in three starts this month since returning from Triple-A Sugar Land. 

Texas righty Jon Gray has allowed 12 runs over 18 innings in July. The Rangers have lost four of his last six starts. Gray is 1-3 with a 3.94 ERA in six career starts against the Astros.

The Phillies ended a four-game slide with an 8-5 win over Cleveland on Sunday, but I think they're in for a tough one here against a hot Baltimore team that has won 12 of its last 15 games. 

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 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.

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.

The Mets are only 3-7 SU overall and 2-8 against the runline as home favorites this month. Max Scherzer is 3-4 with a 2.63 ERA in 12 career outings (11 starts) against the Brewers.

The Brewers are 2-2 SU and 3-1 against the runline in Adrian' Houser's four starts as an underdog this season. The under is 1-5-1 in Houser's seven starts. I think this will be a tight low-scoring affair, and I like the Brewers to cover the runline.

Mike's **EARLY** MLB Runline Ripper

The Guardians are 10-7 SU but only 6-11 against the runline as road favorites. Royals right-hander Zach Greinke has a decent ERA of 3.77 at home this season. Greinke has a 2-0 record with an ERA of 2.02 in six starts against Cleveland since the start of the 2021 season. 

Guardians righty Shane Bieber is 1-3 with a 4.58 ERA on the road.

Mike's *LATE* MLB Total Top Play of the Day

The Bronx Bombers have not lived up to their name lately with an average of only 2.60 runs per game scored over their last 10 games. Thats still marginally better than Oakland's 2.50 runs per game over its last 10 games. 

Yankees right-hander Domingo German was slapped around by Seattle in his last start, but this looks like a good spot to bounce back with a solid outing. Under is 20-8-2 in Athletics last 30 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Under is 9-3-1 in Yankees last 13 road games vs. a left-handed starter.

Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Game of the Week

I absolutely love the price we get on Houston here with Cristian Javier on the mound. OK, Javier has not been at his very best in his most recent starts, but he's still a solid 7-1 with a 3.25 ERA on the season. The Astros are 11-4 in his 15 starts (3-0 as underdogs with Javier as the starter). Cardinals righty Miles Mikolas is 0-3 with a 6.16 ERA in his last three starts.

I absolutely love the price we get on Houston here with Cristian Javier on the mound. OK, Javier has not been at his very best in his most recent starts, but he's still a solid 7-1 with a 3.25 ERA on the season. The Astros are 11-4 in his 15 starts (3-0 as underdogs with Javier as the starter). Cardinals righty Miles Mikolas is 0-3 with a 6.16 ERA in his last three starts. 

Under is 9-1-1 in Cardinals last 11 interleague games. Under is 8-1 in Astros last 9 interleague road games vs. a team with a losing record.

Mike's *LATE* MLB Moneyline Massacre

The Rays are an MLB-best 54-27 for the season, but Arizona is not all that far behind at 47-32. 

Arizona right-hander Zac Gallen is having a great year, and he's been particularly sharp at home where he is 7-0 with a minuscule 1.00 ERA. Gallen has never faced the Rays = advantage pitcher. 

The Rays counter with rookie Taj Bradley who has been sharper on the road than at home, but I like the price we get on the D'backs here.

The Brew Crew defeated the Mets 2-1 Monday night and if they lose this one, I don't think it'll be by more than one run. 

The Mets are 13-13 SU and 6-20 against the runline as home favorites. 

Brewers righty Julio Teheran has had a great start to the season, posting a 1.53 ERA over 35 1/3 innings of work. Teheran is 10-9 with a 2.98 ERA in 29 career games (28 starts) against the Mets.

Mets left-hander David Peterson is 0-1 with a 10.38 ERA in three games (two starts) against the Brewers.

Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Top Play of the Day

The Red Sox are 1-4 in their last five games but I like the price we get on them here in the opener of a three-game series against the Marlins. 

Marlins righty Sandy Alcantara is the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, but he is 2-6 with a 5.08 ERA this year. The Marlins are 6-9 in his 15 starts this year, and as they're a low-scoring team (4.04 R/9, 26th), they really need their pitchers to perform. 

Boston right-hander Garrett Whitlock is 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA at home and he is 2-0 with a 3.10 ERA in his last three starts. 

10* PLAY ON BOSTON RED SOX. 

Mike's Late MLB *MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE*

The Angels are 1-4 in Reid Detmer's last five starts. They are 1-2 in his last three despite Detmer going 1-0 with a 0.96 ERA in those three games. I think they look good to give Detmers the run support he deserves here though. 

The Angels have been inconsistent lately, but they have the bats to punish White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease who has a 4.05 ERA in four career starts against the Angels.

White Sox are 3-11 in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning record. White Sox are 6-24 in the last 30 meetings in Los Angeles. Angels are 21-6 in their last 27 home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. Angels are 20-7 in their last 27 home games vs. a team with a losing record.

Mike's Tigers/Rangers Runline Reaper

The Rangers have the firepower to blow the doors off just about any opponent across the major leagues, and here they'll face Detroit southpaw Matthew Boyd who is 5-5 with a 5.37 ERA on the season. 

Boyd has a 1-7 record with an ERA of 6.08 in nine starts versus the Rangers in his career and Texas is averaging 6.84 R/9 against left-handers this year. 

I expect the Rangers bats to come alive here after being held to a total of seven runs in their three-game series against the Yankees over the weekend.

The Mets are a mediocre 17-15 at home while the Brewers have a respectable 18-19 record on the road.

Mets veteran right-hander Justin Verlander is only 2-4 with a 4.50 ERA for the season the team has lost four of his last five starts.

I like the price we get on the Brewers as an underdog. 

8* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BREWERS +1.5. 

Mike's Top-rated 10* MLB *BEST BET*

I like the price we get on the Dodgers to complete the sweep of this three-game series.

Dodgers righty Tony Gonsolin gave up all seven runs in a 7-3 loss to the Giants in his last start. That was a rare misstep from Gonsolin, and note that it was an afternoon start. Gonsolin is 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA in his night starts this season. 

Houston right-hander Hunter Brown gave up six runs in 5 2/3 innings of an 11-1 loss to the Mets in his last start. Unlike Gonsolin, Brown has pitched better in day games than under the light where he has a 4.33 ERA this season. 

Astros are 1-7 in their last 8 road games. Astros are 2-7 in their last 9 overall. Astros are 3-8 in the last 11 meetings.

10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. 

Mike's Mariners/Orioles MLB Moneyline Moneymaker

Baltimore is 23-14 at home, Seattle is only 16-21 on the road. The Orioles are 12-4 as favorites in day games, the Mariners are 2-8 as underdogs in day games. 

The matchup on the mound is fairly even, but note that Seattle righty George Kirby has a 6.30 ERA in two career starts against Baltimore. 

Orioles are 15-3 in their last 18 during game 3 of a series. Orioles are 5-0 in their last 5 Sunday games.

Mike's Super Early Cubs/Cards @ London MLB Bookie Bu$ter

The Cubs clobbered the Cards 9-1 here at London Stadium on Saturday, and I predict another Cubs win here in the finale of the two-game series across the pond. 

Cubs righty Marcus Stroman has a 1-4 record with an ERA of 4.73 in eight starts versus the Cardinals in his career, but he held them to two runs on rou hits over six innings back in May. Stroman is having a great year, coming into this game 9-4 behind a 2.28 ERA. The Cubs have won each of his last seven starts. 

Cards left-hander Matthew Liberatore is 1-2 with a 6.12 ERA for the season.  

The Cubs are playing some of their best baseball of the season, and I don't see them losing with the solid Stroman on the mound. 

8* PLAY ON CHICAGO CUBS -1.5.

We won with the Rockies when they ended an eight-game slide Friday night, but I think they'll get back to their losing ways here in Game 2 of this series. 

The Angels are 5-0 in their last 5 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game and 11-3 in the last 14 meetings in Colorado. 

Angels right-hander Griffin Canning has a 3-0 record with an ERA of 2.70 over his last five starts. Rockies Chase Anderson has a record of 0-1 with an ERA of 9.24 over his last three starts.

Dodgers rookie right-hander Bobby Miller is 3-1, 2.83 ERA through his first five starts in the big leagues. Miller gave up seven runs against the Giants in his last start but had allowed a total of only two runs through his first four starts. The Dodgers are coming off three straight wins, despite scoring a total of only seven runs in those games. 

Under is 15-6-2 in the last 23 meetings.

The Royals are 0-15 SU and 2-13 against the runline in Jordan Lyles 15 starts this year. Lyles (0-11, 6.72 ERA) is an auto-fade and here he'll face arguably the best team in baseball, a Rays team that is 31-9 SU and 23-17 against the runline as home favorites.

Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer has an ERA of 2.81 in three starts against the Mariners in his career. The Orioles are 10-5 in his 15 starts this season, 5-2 in his seven home starts.

Mariners rookie righty Bryce Miller has also been sharper at home than on the road where he is 1-2 with a 4.57 ERA.

I expect a big outing from the Orioles here as they look to bounce back from a 13-1 loss to Seattle Friday night.

Luis Severino has a record of 1-2 with an ERA of 4.05 in four starts against the Rangers in his career. Severino (0-2, 6.30 ERA) has had a rough start to the year and he has posted an ERA of 7.36 over his last three starts. 

Texas has won five of its last six games, and while today's starter Jon Gray was lit up by Toronto in his last start, note that Gray is a solid 6-2 with a 2.96 ERA for the year (4-0, 2.02 ERA on the road). 

8* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS. 

Mike's MLB Runline Reaper

The Rockies are 14-11 against the runline as home underdogs, the Angels are 6-7 against the runline as road favorites. Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland is 3-2 with a 3.19 ERA at home and he's looking good to bounce back from a rough outing last time out when he gave up seven runs at Atlanta. The Rockies return home from a long road trip and they'll be desperate for a win following eight straight setbacks. This is ugly but I expect the Rockies to show up and keep this close.

This looks like a great spot to back the Yankees to snap back from a humbling 10-2 loss to Seattle. Yankees' right-hander Clarke Schmidt (2-6, 4.65 ERA) has pitched fairly well lately and the Yankees are 7-1 in the last eight meetings with the Rangers in the Bronx.

KC right-hander Zack Greinke is 1-7 with a 4.81 ERA for the season and 0-2 with a 7.53 ERA this month. Rays righty Zach Eflin (8-3, 3.26 ERA) has lost his last two starts, but both on the road. Eflin is 7-0 behind a 1.85 ERA in his home starts in 2023.

Mike's 10* MLB Moneyline Game of the Week *MAJOR WAGER ALERT*

The Yankees are going for the sweep of this three-game series and I like the price we get on the Pinstripes with Domingo German on the mound. 

German gave up seven runs at Boston in his last outing, but he has posted a solid ERA of 2.92 home in the Bronx this year. German is reliable and battle-tested and he is 3-0 with an ERA of 3.44 in 3 starts versus the Mariners in his career.

Mariners rookie righty Bryan Woo is 0-1 with a 7.30 ERA through his first three starts in the big leagues.

The first two games of this series have seen plenty of runs, but I don't think that will be the case here in the rubber match. 

Zac Gallen is 2-3 with an ERA of 1.86 in 5 starts versus the Brewers in his career. Julio Teheran has a record of 4-1 with an ERA of 2.98 in 11 starts against the Diamondbacks in his career. 

Teheran has allowed 1, 0, 2, 1, and 2 runs in his five starts this season. Only one of those games went over the total.

The Cubs are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings with Pittsburgh.

This looks like a great spot to back the Rays to bounce back from three consecutive losses, the most recent an 8-6 setback to the Orioles Tuesday night. 

Rays rookie right-hander Taj Bradley has been a lot sharper on the road than at home, but I think it's only a matter of time before he finds his feet at home as well. Baltimore righty Tyler Wells is 2-0 on the road, but with a not very impressive ERA of 4.26. 

The Rays have won 39 of the last 51 meetings with the Orioles at Tropicana Field.

As for Dodgers southpaw Clayton Kershaw, he is 8-4 with a 2.95 ERA for the season and 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA over his last three starts. Kershaw is 9-2 with a 2.13 ERA in 15 career starts vs. the Angels.

Corbin Burnes has a record of 2-0 with an ERA of 1.90 in 4 starts against the Diamondbacks in his career, but I still like the price we get on Arizona in this matchup.

Diamondbacks are 8-0 in their last 8 Monday games. Diamondbacks are 6-0 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. Brewers are 3-7 in their last 10 during game 1 of a series. Brewers are 1-4 in their last 5 Monday games.
