MLB RUNLINE GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MAJOR WAGER

On the season, the Dodgers are 15-7 SU and 14-8 against the RL as road favorites of no more than -175. 

Since the start of last season, Julio Urias has a record of 4-2 with an ERA of 2.47 and 52 strikeouts in eight starts covering 47 1/3 innings versus the Giants. Alex Cobb has one career start against the Dodgers. It took place on July 24 this year, when Cobb gave up four runs on eight hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings in a 7-4 Dodgers win. 

The moneyline is not a bad bet either, but I like the value we get on the runline a lot better.

The Cubs are 3-8 in his 11 starts on the season. Phillies righty Bailey Falter has posted a 5.54 ERA over his last three starts, but the Phillies won all three games.

MLB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S TOP-RATED MAJOR WAGER TOTAL

I think the bookmakers got this total completely wrong.

The Royals are averaging only 3.7 runs per game home at Kauffman Stadium and while Tampa Bay righty Luis Patano has an ugly 6.75 ERA, note that it's over only two starts and a total of four innings and he's backed up by one of the best bullpens in baseball.

The Yankees are 6-2 in Jameson Taillon's eight road starts this year, despite a 4.33 ERA for Taillon.

The Bronx Bombers bats have often been able to bail out the right-hander, but I don't think that'll happen here against Houston right-hander Christian Javier who is 4-3 with a 3.11 ERA at home on the season.

Taillon was charged with six runs on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings when he faced Houston last month. Javier threw seven scoreless and hitless innings with 13 Ks against the Yankees last month.

MIKE'S PIRATES/BREWERS MLB RUNLINE

This looks like a good spot to back the Brewers to snap back from a pair of lackluster losses to the Cubs.

The Brewers are 7-3 SU and against the runline as home favorites of -199 or more. The Brewers are 3-0 SU and against the runline at home versus Pittsburgh this year. 

Pittsburgh right-hander JT Brubaker (7-9, 4.28 ERA) has allowed seven runs on 16 hits over 12 innings in his last two starts. Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby (1-6, 4.60 ERA) has been solid at American Family Field where he has posted an ERA of 2.70.

I really like the Braves in this spot as they look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to St. Louis. Nats right-hander Erick Fedde (5-5, 4.29 ERA) has a record of 0-5 with an ERA of 9.97 and 30 strikeouts in nine appearances (eight starts) against the Braves in his career.

The Nats have lost six of their last seven games and they have not scored more than three runs in any of their last six games.

MIKE'S MARLINS/METS MLB MONEYLINE

Not much for an edge for the Mets on the mound, but they have better bats and I like the situation. The Mets are coming off an 8-3 win at Cincinnati. The Mets are 25-15 coming off a game where tney scored at least five runs and 22-6 in their last 28 during game 1 of a series.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10' MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a great spot to back the Philadelphia Phlllies to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Washington on Wednesday. 

Nats right-hander Joan Adon (1-11, 6.97 ERA) is 0-6 with an ERA of 8.44 in six road starts this year. The Nats did not cover the runline as underdogs in any of the games. Additionally, Adon is 0-3 with a 10.12 ERA in his last three starts.

Phillies hand the ball to Bailey Falter. While he is 0-2 with a 4.88 ERA in eight appearances, four starts, on the season note that the Nats are 1-8 in their last 9 road games vs. a left-handed starter.

10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -1.5. 

MIKE'S NATS/PHILLIES RUNLINE

Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola has a 4.25 ERA at home this season but he has compiled an ERA of 2.05 over his last three starts. Nola has an ERA of 5.82 in three starts versus the Nationals over the last two seasons. 

Under is 7-3 in Phillies last 10 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Under is 5-1 in Nationals last 6 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

I like the Nats to cover the runline in a low-scoring affair.

Mariners righty Logan Gilbert (9-3, 2.66 ERA) is having a great year, but he has allowed nine runs on 21 hits while serving up five home runs over 17 2/3 innings in his last three starts.
