This looks like a great spot to back the Blue jays to snap back from a pair of losses and avoid getting swept. They were shut out in Saturday's 2-0 defeat, but for the season, the Jays are 5-0 coming off a shut out loss. Toronto righty Ross Stripling is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.62, a 0.78 WHIP and a 3-0 team record in his last three starts.

The White Sox are coming off a disappointing series in Baltimore, but Arizona is a team they should be able to beat up on.

Diamondbacks left-hander Tommy Henry has a 6.10 ERA and a 1.45 ERA in two road starts. Small sample, but certainly not promising numbers. The White Sox are averaging 4.81 runs per game against left-handers, compared to 4.10 rpg against right-handers.

Gotta fade the Yankees who are in a free fall with a 3-14 record over their last 17 games. The Blue Jays on the other hand are riding a four-game winning streak and can smell blood, moving to eight games behind the Yankees who still sit top of the AL East. 

Toronto righty Alek Manoah has a record of 2-1 with an ERA of 2.48 in five starts versus the Yankees in his career. Yankee's lefty Nestor Cortes has a record of 1-2 with an ERA of 4.15 in nine appearances (three starts) versus the Blue Jays in his career.

Both the Yankees and the Blue Jays have plenty of firepower and big bats in their team, but neither team has been hitting the ball all that well of late. Toronto has averaged 2.6 runs per game over its last seven games while the Yankees have averaged a miserable 1.3 runs per game over the same stretch. Blue Jays righty Jose Berrios is not having a good year, but the talent is there. I expect him to step up in a big way.

The Phillies opened the week with a 4-3 win. They have scored only six runs over their last five games while getting shut out three times, but this looks like a good spot to get their bats going against inexperienced Reds right-hander T.J. Zeuch who will be making his first career start at Great American Ball Park. Zeuch gave up six runs on six hits and two walks in a 10-2 loss to the Mets on Aug 10 in his first start of the season.

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.

Yankees righty Jameson Taillon 9-1, 3.32 ERA) is 4-0 with a 2.70 ERA on the road. The Yankees have won each of his last seven starts, and they won five of those games by two runs or more. 

Both the Pirates and the Yankees got shut out in their last game. The Yankees are 18-6 straight up and 14-10 against the runline after scoring two runs or fewer in their last game.

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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers not only won but also covered the runline despite scoring only two runs yesterday, which highlights the kind of mess the Angels are right now.

I expect the Dodgers to put up more runs and win big today, facing Angels left-hander Reid Detmers (2-2, 3.83 ERA) who has pitched well at home, but Detmers has a 6.19 ERA over 16 innings on the road. The Angels have lost each of his last four starts. 

Left-hander Tyler Anderson (7-0, 3.07 ERA) will take the ball for the Dodgers. They've won each of his last five starts, all by at least two runs. For the year, the Dodgers are 5-0 straight up and against the runline as favorites of at least -150 with Anderson on the mound.

Pittsburgh is coming into this game on a seven-game losing streak and it is one of the lowest-scoring teams in baseball averaging only 3.56 runs per game, which drops to 3.39 runs per game on the road.

Detroit's bats have been ice cold lately as the Tigers have averaged only 2.4 runs per game over their last 10 games. 

The Tigers hand the ball to right-hander Rony Garcia (0-1, 4.50 ERA) who gave up six runs in five innings in a loss to Minnesota in his last start. I think Garcia can bounce back with a strong outing here though, facing a White Sox team that has more success against southpaws than right-handers. 

Under is 11-3-1 in White Sox last 15 road games vs. a right-handed starter and 9-3-1 in White Sox last 13 when their opponent scored 2 runs or less in their previous game (Detroit was shut out by Toronto yesterday).

Toronto right-hander Ross Stripling (1-1, 4.22 ERA) has worked out of the bullpen in his last six outings. He's not likely to last long here when filling in for the injured Hyun Jin Ryu, and Toronto's bullpen has an ERA of 4.02 on the season.

MIKE'S MLB GAME OF THE WEEK - RUNLINE MAJOR WAGER

This looks like a great spot to back the Houston Astros to bounce back from a 6-1 loss to Cleveland on Monday, The Astros are perfect 4-0 straight up and 3-1 against the runline in revenge games in a series this season. 

Houston left-hander Framber Valdez (3-2, 2.68 ERA) is 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA through two career appearances (one start) against Cleveland. Guardians righty Zach Plesac (1-3, 4.42 ERA) gave up four runs over five innings in his lone career start against Houston. Plesac is 0-2 with a 6.86 ERA through his last four starts overall.

MIKE'S BLUE JAYS/CARDINALS MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Toronto Blue jays are 26-14-1 to the under this season. Right-hander Jose Berrios (3-2, 4.83 ERA) has had a bit of a slow start to the year, but he held Seattle scoreless over seven innings of a 3-0 win in his last start and he has an ERA of 2.92 in two career starts against St. Louis. 

Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas (3-2, 1.68 ERA) is having a great year and has yet to allow more than two runs in a start.

The over is 10-2 in Rockies last 12 home games with the total set at 9.0-10.5. Mets right-hander Carlos Carrasco (3-1, 3.73 ERA) has posted a 6.19 ERA over three road starts this year. Colorado right-hander German Marquez (1-3, 6.16 ERA) has allowed 13 runs over his last three starts and he has a 6.04 ERA home at Coors Field on the season. His last four home starts all went over the total.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* PADRES/PHILLIES MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Phillies right-hander Kyle Gibson (3-1, 4.10 ERA) was smacked around by the Dodgers in his last start, allowing eight hits and six runs in 3 2/3 innings. I expect Gibson to bounce back with a strong outing, and he is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA in three career starts against the Padres.

San Diego right-hander Yu Darvish (3-1, 4.62 ERA) gave up five runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings at Atlanta in his last start. Darvish has a strong 2.30 ERA in five career starts against the Phillies, but he has posted a hideous 7.91 ERA over 19 1/3 innings on the road this year. Gibson is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA over 18 2/3 innings at home. 

10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Texas Rangers won the opener of this series 7-4 on Monday. They are still only 8-12 at home for the season while the Angels are 12-7 on the road. 

Texas' left-hander Taylor Hearn (2-2, 5.26 ERA) held Kansas City scoreless over five frames in his last outing, but here they'll face an Angels team that is 7-2 in its last nine games against left-handed starters. Angels' 22-year-old left-hander Reid Detmers (2-1, 3.77 ERA) will be bringing with confidence following an epic no-hitter against the Rays last week.  

Rangers are 1-4 in their last 5 games following a win. Angels are 4-0 in their last 4 games following a loss. Angels are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Texas.

10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS. 

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

The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Reds 1-0 on Sunday, despite recording a single hit. They have scored a total of only six runs over their last four games and been held to three runs or fewer in seven of their last 10 games. The Chicago Cubs have been held to three runs or fewer in six of their last 10 games. 

Pittsburgh right-hander Dillon Peters (3-1, 1.83 ERA) held the Dodgers scoreless through three innings in his last start. Cubs left-hander Wade Miley's 9.00 ERA for the season looks bad, but it's over a one-game and three-inning sample. Miley owns a 3.64 ERA in 13 career starts against the Pirates.

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S EARLY MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Miami Marlins have scored 21 runs through their last three games. Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff (3-2, 5.97 ERA) was roughed up for six runs (five earned) in 4 1/3 innings of a 10-5 loss at Cincinnati in his last start. Each of Woodruff's last three starts has ended with the game going over the total. Miami right-hander Elieser Hernandez (2-2, 6.37 ERA) has allowed 16 runs over his last four starts. Four of his last five starts have gone over the total. 

The Brewers are averaging a healthy 5.42 R/9 off right-handers. This looks like way too low of a total considering the matchup on the mound. 

10* PLAY ON OVER. 

 MIKE'S MLB GAME OF THE MONTH - TOP-RATED 10* RUNLINE

The New York Mets are 7-1 straight up and 6-2 against the runline as favorites in series openers this season.

I expect a strong outing from Mets righty Max Scherzer (4-1, 2.92 ERA) after seeing his unbeaten streak of 24 games coming to an end last Sunday.

Seattle has lost five of left-hander Marco Gonzales' (1-4, 3.91 ERA) six starts this season, all but one by two or more runs.

Gonzales has allowed five runs on 14 hits and six walks while serving up four homers over 11 1/3 innings over his last two starts. 

10* PLAY ON NEW YORK METS -1.5. 

MIKE'S RAYS/ANGELS MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER TOP PLAY

The Los Angeles Angels have outscored Tampa Bay 23-3 through the first two games of this series. Rays' left-hander Shane McClanahan (2-2, 3.06 ERA) has allowed five runs and three home runs over 10 1/3 innings in his last two starts combined. Angels' right-hander Shohei Ohtani (3-2, 3.08 ERA) has been lights out lately with a total of only three earned runs allowed through his last four starts. At this price, you just gotta love the hot Halos with their ace on the mound.
