The Cardinals are making a charge for the playoffs.  Gomber has had 6 starts this year and has been lights out with a 2.51 ERA.  The Cards should have no problem teeing off on Bailey who has a 6.17 ERA on the season. 

I think we have another close battle here tonight and will take the under.  These two were 2-0 last night with the Pirates coming out on top.  With Musgrove having his best stuff on the road with a 2.92 ERA and Gant being in great form with a 2.16 ERA his last 3, I think we see another pitchers duel. 

I like the Braves here as they snapped the Rays winning streak last night.  I think that will be a dagger that slows them down.  The Braves are more motivated than ever here trying to not only just make the playoffs, but win their division.  Newcomb is coming off a good start going 6 scoreless 

I like the Phillies here to avoid getting swept as they are trying to make a playoff push.  They easily have the advantage on the mound here in Arrieta.  Arrieta has pitched well at home with a 2.88 ERA.  Gio has cooled off after a hot start and is in terrible form with a 8.04 ERA his last 3 starts. 

Two awful teams I know, but the Orioles are hitting the ball scoring 19 runs the last 2 games and you cant ignore that.  Borucki is awful right now with a 9.82 ERA his last 3 starts.  He has been bad on the road with a 5.85 ERA.  Cobb is in solid form with a 2.05 ERA his last 3 starts. 

No choice but to take the under here.  These teams were in a battle last night as the Giants won 2-0.  I think it's another low scoring affair here.  Both pitchers are in great form to say the least and both have an ERA under 3 against one anothers team.  

Let's go right back to the Astros again on the RL.  This team is rolling right now winning 7 straight and 8 of 9.  Morton brings his best stuff at home with a 8-2 record.  Edwin has had a couple shaky last starts even though he did beat the Astros.  Houston has a ton of momentum and I think it carries over

This is probably a sucker bet but the Cubs are so hot right now you have to take them.  They have won six straight and send out Hamels who is pitching lights out as well.  DeGrom is having a remarkable year not taking anything away from him just wrong time to face the Cubs

Like the Astros here to get some revenge after losing the series to the A's just here recently.  Anderson is in great form, but he has struggled on the road and as well against the Astros.  I think Astros have found a little something here winning 5 straight and 6 of their last 7.  

We got two very good pitchers going against one another here.  Greinke brings his best stuff at home with a 2.34 ERA and Leake brings his A game on the road with a 3.48 ERA.  Both come in in great form and neither offense is exactly lighting it up right now.

Probably could wait and get a better line on Colorado as the Cardinal money will keep pouring in.  I think the Rockies are the right side here.  They have won 7 of their last 8, but aren't getting the attention that St Louis has.  Senzatela has been on fire at home with a .71 ERA.  This will be Mikolas first start @ Colorado which can be tricky for pitchers.  Rockies get it done tonight

The Braves are making that push to try and stay in first place.  They could really use a sweep here and try and gain more ground.  Folty can get them off started just right, as he has a .86 ERA his last 3 starts.  He has pitched well on the road with a 2.82 ERA.  He is 5-1 for his career and Miami and the Braves have owned the Marlins this year with 13-3 record. 

Like the value here with the Cubs and Hamels.  The bats came alive last night in Detroit and I think they carry over here.  Hamels has just been lights out lately and looking very comfortable in a Cubs uniform.  

I’m going to lay the juice here with the Dodger.  They had plenty of chances last night especially early and simply couldn’t capitalize on it.  Buehler has been very dependable for them this season.  He has a 1.47 ERA his last 3 starts and all 3 are against playoff teams 

Buchholz has been rock solid for the D Backs with a 2.10 ERA in 12 starts this season.  The D Backs have won 5 of their last 6 games.  Despaigne has had two starts this season and both have been terrible 

What a pathetic showing by the Cubs last night.  i expect them to bounce back with Lester here.   He is 8-2 on the road with a 3.18 ERA.  He is also coming off a 6 inning shutout so I puke where he is trending.  The Cubs pound left handlers and Liriano is in terrible form with a 6.94 ERA his last 3

The Cardinals stole game 1 last night, but my money is on LA for a big response with the now healthy Ryu back.  This will be just his second start since May but his last start was a beauty giving up 0 runs.  Poncedeleon had a great debut for St Louis, but it was against the Reds.  This is a big time spot for him and I think the Dodgers get one back

The Rockies are red hot right now going 8-1 their last 9 games.  I will ride them here facing a Padres team that is 1-6 their last 7.  San Diego sends Erlin to the mound who has struggled on the road with a 5.79 ERA and has been shelled by the Rockies in his career with a 8.64 ERA.  Anderson on the other hand has pitched very well against the Padres with a 2.27 ERA in his career. 

Have no choice but to take the Nationals here at this price.  They are 6.5 games back of the Phillies and I dont think they have thrown in the towel quite yet.  Roark is pitching very well right now with a 2.61 ERA his last 3 starts.  With the Nationals coming off an ugly series against Miami I expect them to have a big effort here as this series means a lot

Really like the A’s here on the RL tonight.  I was against the A’s yesterday in a winner but

now will back them here against Colon.  He has a 6.35 ERA his last

3 starts and a 4.72 ERA on the road.  Fiers is solid at

home  a 2.71 ERA and 2.03 ERA his last 3 starts

The Phillies lost to one of the best pitchers in the league in DeGrom yest and there is no shame in that.  I think the Phillies bounce back here only trailing the Braves by half a game.  Vargas has been flat out terrible across the board this season.  Pivetta is in great form with a 1.50’ERA his last 3 starts.

This is simply a spot play here as now the A’s have quietly closed the gap and we have ourselves a battle for the AL West.  I think the Astros respond here under Verlander as they avoid getting swept.  Verlander is 9-2 on the road with a 1.74 ERA this season.

Had a horrible loss with the Braves last night but will go back with them here especially since they will be extra motivated avoiding the dreaded 4 game sweep at home.  Sanchez is 6-3 with a 3.17 on the year.  In Marquez only start ever against the Braves was this year and he got destroyed which Infully expect again today

The D Backs haven’t had any trouble here with the Padres and I don’t see a problem

tonight either with Godley on the mound who is pitching his best right now.  He has a 1.93 ERA his last 3 starts and is 2-0 against San Diego so far this season

Even though the Cardinals are red hot in the Win column they aren’t swinging the bats well.  They have had under 10 hits the last 4 games.  Both pitchers have an ERA

under 3 on the year and both are in great form right now as well

Gonna lay the juice here and honestly dont mind the RL either.  With the Braves dropping the first two of this series I think we get a good effort and Foltynewicz is pitching well.  He is 3-0 his last 3

qoth a 1.93 ERA.  He is also very at home with a 2.91 ERA

I'm going to take the under here in this game.  The Rockies have gone under 4 of their last 5 games and the Braves 2 of their last 3 games.  Both pitchers are in great form with a 3.00 ERA and 3.78. Both have pitched extremely well against each other's teams.  Gray is 3-0 with a 1.04 ERA and Teheran is 5-1 with a 2.21 ERA.

I'm going to take my chances here with the Nationals avoiding the 4 game sweep.  They have the better pitcher on the mound in Roark.  He is in great form right now with a 1.66 ERA his last 3 starts with a 3-0 record.  Weaver is young and talented but has struggled at home with a 1-4 record and a 5.13 ERA.

I had the A's last night as a winner and will back them again here tonight.  Paxton is getting a little to much respect here epsecially considering he has an ERA over 4 on the road.  Fiers is 5-2 at home with a 2.69 ERA.  The A's are one of the hottest teams right now and are still getting no respect. 

The Braves won easy last night 6-1 and I think they do so again tonight.  They are making a huge push for the playoffs right now.  Sanchez has really pitched well for them with a 2.93 ERA in 15 starts.  He also has a 2.83 ERA at home.  

The Mariners I think are in a tough spot here tonight.  They are coming off a sweep at Houston and now face a division rival in the A’s.  I trust Manaea here at home as his brings in a 3.49 ERA at home.   Gonzales has struggled here with a 6.50 ERA his last 3

My money is on the red hot Cardinals here.   They have won 5 straight games and 7 of their last 8.  Mikolas has a 2.01 ERA at home and is also in great form with a 2.25 ERA his last 3 starts.  The Nationals are struggling right now now as they are just 2-4 their last 6.  Milone is no better in 3 starts this season with a 5.50 EarA

The Rockies are the right side here this afternoon after getting embarrassed last night.  I don't trust Archer here who is having a terrible season for him.  He is in bad form with a 5.51 ERA his last 3 starts.

Marquez had a rough go of things earlier but has since settled down coming off two great starts in going 7 innings in both games striking out 17 combined in those games and only allowing 4 runs 

The Red Sox have had their way with the Yankees so far this series up 3-0.  I think the Yankees pull this one out tonight with Tanaka who is a perfect 6-0 on the road this season and enters in great form with a .84 ERA his last 4 starts. Price has struggled in his career against the Yankees with a 4.98 ERA.

The Cubs are 4-2 their last 6 games and I think they will want to win this sereis with a 3-1 record.  They send out Lester who isn't in great form but one thing is for sure and that he brings his A game at home.  He is 5-2 with a 2.97 ERA on the year at home and Lucchesi is struggling right now with a 5.93 ERA his last 3 starts. 

I like the D Backs here at this price with Buchholz on the mound.  He has been quietly very good this year.  In 9 starts he is 4-1 with a 2.12 ERA.  He also has a solid 2.16 home ERA.  Suarez is in terrible form right now with a 5.94 ERA his last 3 starts.  

I know the Braves are playing well but I can't back them with Gausman on the mound and he shouldn't be favored here at all.  He has a 6.48 ERA his last 3 starts while Wheeler is pitching the best for him right now.  He is 3-0 his last 3 with a 2.61 ERA.

The Phillies here know they need to take care of business at home against the bad teams and I think they do so easily tonight.  Eflin isn't in great form by any means but he has had his best stuff at home with a with a 4-1 record and 3.18 ERA.  Urena has struggled big time against the Phillies for his career with a 5.55 ERA and isn't in good form either with a 6.43 ERA his last 3 starts

I think the Mariners end their losing streak here with Gonzales on the mound. He is 5-1 at home with a 2.43 ERA.  Borucki has struggled on the road with a 4.80 ERA.  

I will lay the big number here with the Pirates as I expect them to be plenty motivated not only because facing a division rival but because this will be Archer from Tampa making his debut.  I think the Pirates get one for him and also Archer will be on his A game because of the change as well 

Let's go with the A's here on the RL who responded well after a long road trip and losing 3 straight.  The bats came alive and they won 10-1 and I see them having no problems with Gaviglio who has a 7.92 road ERA with a 1-3 record.  Cahill has his best stuff at home with a .80 ERA in 5 starts. 

After dropping the game last night I think the D Backs repsond here in the 2 game series.  Goldey is 5-1 at home in 9 starts with a 3.96 ERA.  Colon is in bad form right now with a 7.13 ERA his last 3 starts.  

The Rays are tanking here now the last part of the season.  They will be a play against team for the remainder and I believe betting against them blind you will make money.  The Angels on the other hand will be trying and even though they are a ways back I dont think they have tossed it in quite yet.  

I think the Giants get the win here against the Brewers.  Since Bumgarner has been back he has a great 1.95 ERA at home.  

I like the price here with the Angels and Heaney on the mound.  Heaney is a solid 6-2 at home with a 2.31 ERA.  He is also in very good form with a 2.79 ERA his last 3 starts.  I will look to play against the Mariners quite a bit this second half as I think they will come back down to earth.  LeBlanc has struggled on the road with a 5.16 ERA.

I'm going to take the Rockies here as I think the A's are being over valued.  Manaea for one has never pitched in Colorado and that is a big factor IMO.  Also throw in the fact that Freeland has a solid 2.76 ERA at home in 8 starts.

Another home team here trying to avoid getting swept.  The D Backs send out their ace in Greinke here who is as solid as they come at home.  He brings in a 2.56 home ERA with a 4-1 record.  He also is in great form with a 1.93 ERA his last 3 starts.  Sentzatela is making just his 3rd start to the season and his only road start was an ugly one giving up 6 runs in 6 innings 

I'm going to go with the Cubs here to get the win and split the 4 game series.  Quintana is in really good form with a 2.60 ERA his last 3 starts.  Mikolas has been rock solid all season long and did put forth a great outing against the Cubs the first time around, but then again it was the first time around.  I think the Cubs are more familiar with him now and they bounce back here 

Well, do I dare to go against the red hot Pirates.  It is the case here as the Reds send out Harvey who has been on fire.  In 6 starts at home with has a 3.21 ERA and a 1.65 ERA his last 3 starts.  Nova has just been terrible with a 5.74 ERA on the road and in worse form with a 6.45 ERA his last 3 

This total just seems way to low for this game.  Neither pitcher is in great form right now and even though they are obviously rested I just think they wont have a problem going over 7.5 in Arizona.  Both pitchers also struggle against one another's team as well 

Let's back the Phillies here in this one with Arrieta on the mound.  Even though he is 7-6 on the year he has a solid ERA at 3.23 and even better at home with a 2.53 ERA.  Richard has a 5.05 ERA on the road and it seems like the Padres are in full tank mode here for the 2nd half.  

I will take the Blue Jays here in this one tonight.  Gaviglio has struggled this season, but no without a doubt he brings his best at home as he has a 1.95 ERA.  The Orioles are clearly rebuilding with the trade of Machado.  Also Bundy isn't the same and he has gave up a whopping 20 home runs in 18 starts. 

I will back Sanchez and the Braves here tonight.  He is in good form with a 2.86 ERA his last 10 starts.  Godley is coming off one of his better performances but that was against the Padres and he has really struggled with a 5.82 road ERA.

I think the Indians win this game here tonight with Bieber.  I know he isn't a house hold name, but with a 4-1 record and 3.47 ERA and a great 2.41 home ERA I like his odds.  German has been flat out terrible with a 7.10 road ERA and a 6.75 ERA his last 3 starts. 

I won yesterday taking the under in this game and will now switch to the over.  This might seem like sucker bet because Shelby Miller has been flat out awful since his return.  The Rockies should have no problem teeing off.  Also Marquez hasn't been great at home with a 7.93 ERA at home

I look for the Brewers to take this series tonight with Peralta on the mound.  They responded well yesterday after dropping game 1 winning 8-4.  Peralta in 6 starts is 4-1 with a 2.14 ERA.  He has only gave up 4 earned runs his last 4 starts combined.  Straily has really struggled for Miami as he has a 5.52 ERA at home 

This one seems like a big task for both teams to go over the total here.  Yes, I know this is in Coors Field and the ball flies, but neither team is exactly lighting it up right now in the run department.  Both pitchers are on top of their game as well as Corbin has a .95 ERA His last 3 starts and Anderson a 1.64 ERA his last 3 .

I had the under in a winner last night with these two teams, but there were plenty of chances to score more and I think tonight both teams have no problem flying over this total.  Kennedy is 1-8 on the year with a 5.11 ERA.  Slegers pitched well in his debut but I doubt the youngster right now can back that up

I will take the momentum here with the Rays after they won in extra innings last night.  The Tigers are flat out terrible and Boyd has an ERA over 10 his last 3 starts.  

This total seems high here even those these teams have been going over recently.  Both pitchers are

in great form right now as well which is always key.  Also Duffy has pitched lights out against the Twins for his career with a 5-1 record and ERA just over 2.  The Royals have a terrible offense and the Twins aren’t much better when facing a lefty

 I know both offenses stink but the Rays are playing good ball and I think they can keep it going here. Liriano has a 4.3 ERA his last 3 starts and the Rays while they send out Archer he isn’t the same as usually and since this will be his first start in 6 weeks I expect some rust which means some runs for the Tigers as well

Probably should stay here as I have missed the boat on the RL all weekend with Boston.  Their offense is simply on fire and I don’t care who they have pitching.  The Rangers plain and simple can hang with a power house like the Red Sox

I will take the under here after they went over by half a run last night.  Both teams are sending out strong pitchers right now.  Folty has been just lights out only giving up 4 total his his last 3 starts and has an ERA of .60 his last 3 as well.  Peralta is nothing to sleep on either with a 1.50 ERA his last 3 starts.  

I like backing teams after they snap out of a funk and that is exactly what we have here with the Twins who had lost 6 straight prior.  They key here is that Lynn will be out for a big bounce back after two poor starts but both those were on the road.  He has pitched well at home with a 2.70 ERA.

Let's jump on the over here after what we saw last night.  These teams combined for 26 runs and when bats get hot like that they tend to say that way throughout the series.  Neither pitcher is in good form right as well so this one shouldn't be a problem going over again

Sign me up for a sucker bet here.  I think the Giants respond after getting swept by the Rockies.  They will send out their Cueto who has looked extremely sharp in 5 starts with a 3-0 record and .84 ERA.  Weaver had a decent start to the season but he has a 8.21 ERA his last 3 starts.  

Neither team is playing great right now in fact both are coming off getting swept.  I think the D Backs respond here with Ray the lefty who has a 2.25’ERA his last 3 starts.  Martinez is struggling right now with a 6.00 ERA his last 3 starts

I think Tampa deserves to be bigger favorite here.  They are playing their best ball of the season winning 8 of their last 9 games. Eovaldi is coming off his best outing as well going 6

innings against the Nationals and holding them scoreless.

I’m going to lay it here on the RL with the Nationals and Scherzer.  Red Sox coming off the Yankees series and didn’t play very well.  Max has been lights out and I think he keeps them in check

This is short enough price for me to lay here with the Cardinals.  Teheran is in terrible form and while most will expect a bounce back he has also struggled against the Cardinals for his career.  Mikolas has had his best stuff at home this season with a 1.68 ERA

I will take a chance here with the White Sox as a big underdog.  Covey to me is the better pitcher and he brings his best stuff on the road with a 2.95 ERA in 4 starts.  Gallardo has made just 2 starts but have been terrible.  Good price here

Cubs are always a popular over bet, but I think this one goes under.  Berrios is in great form with a .93 ERA his last 3 starts and has a 3.43 road ERA.  Monthgomery is also in good form with a 3.00 ERA his last 3 and even better at home with a 1.50 ERA.

I think Bumgarner is back to his ways and I will back the red hot Giants again who have won 6 of their last 7 games.  He is coming off a 8 inning shutout and has pitched well against the Rockies in his career with a 3.12 ERA.

I will bite here on this line as it seems way too good to be true.  The Red Sox bats came alive last night with 14 hits and winning 9-1.  I think they have another easy route as well facing Heaney.  He has yet to win a road game this year and has a 5.13 ERA.

I will take my chances here with the Phillies as a decent dog trying to avoid getting swept.  Zach Eflin is in good form right now with a 2.81 ERA his last 3 starts.  I think the Phillies can take advantage of Cessa who is making his debut of the year tonight

Bettis may be 5-1 on the year for the Rockies, but he is in a funk to say the least.  He brings in a 11.30 ERA his last 3 starts.  Holland on the other hand has turned the corner with a 2.81 ERA his last 3 starts.  The Giants have also won 5 of their last 6 games. 

Lance Lynn was getting destroyed all year until here recently.  He is now in good form with a 2.04 ERA his last 3 starts and both offenses struggle here.  Lopez pitches his best when at home with a 2.25 ERA.  

The Blue Jays got the best of the Astros here last night but I think Houston responds here.  Morton has been one of the most under valued pitchers all year long with a 9-1 record and 2.74 ERA.  Those are Cy Young type numbers.  Borucki is making his first start.

I like the D Backs to respond after getting shelled yesterday.  They have been playing really good and Godley should help them get back on track.  He has a 2.94 ERA his last 3 starts.  

Let's take a look at the under here in a game where neither team has a great offense and both pitchers are under the radar.  Frankie for Oakland has a .61 ERA on the road and a 2.41 ERA on the year.  Hardy in 4 games at home for the Tigers has a 2.70 ERA.  

This is the ultimate let down spot for the Reds here coming off a sweep over the Cubs.  I think the Braves get the job done with Folty on the mound who has a 2.23 ERA at home and is in great form with a .97 ERA his last 3 starts. 

This game simply seems way too easy for the D Backs.  Yes, I know Miller is making his first start but with how the D Backs are playing I think their offense can carry the load.  Straily is really struggling right now with a 9.90 ERA his last 3 starts.  

The Cardinals got their win of the series yesterda.  Weaver is really struggling right now with a 7.05 ERA his last 3 starts and has a 5.72 ERA on the road.  Chacon has a 2.31 at home this season and enters this good in good form as well

I do like the White Sox with Rodin here making his 3rd start of the season.  I going to give him a pass even though he didn’t pitch awful his first games but both starts came against the Indians.  Blackburn has a 8.03 ERA his last 3 starts 

The Red Sox should bounce back here today after dropping yesterday especially with Sale on the mound.  Sale has owned the Mariners with a career 2.17 ERA.  He is also in his best form of the season with a 1.71 ERA his last 3 starts. Gonzales had a hot start but has recently cooled off with a 5.31 his last 3 starts

No choice but to take the over with the first two games combining for 14 and 18 total runs.  Neither pitcher is in good form what so ever.  Lugo has a 9.00 ERA on the road and Bettis has a 7.75 ERA at home 

I will take the Phillies here to win the close out game wth Arrieta on the mound.  He is coming off his worst start if the year and you know he loves pitching against the Cardinals.  he also has been lights out at home with a 1.69 ERA in 6 games.  

This seems way to high of total here since the first two games have gone over easily.  Mahle is in frat form with a 1.10 ERA his last 3 starts. Fulmer is in great form also with a 2.70 ERA his last 3 starts.
