6* Interleague Game of the Week on Philadelphia Phillies -111
The Key: The Philadelphia Phillies have won 3 of their last 4 games coming in. They scored 27 runs in the 3 wins before getting shut out yesterday by the A's in Game 1 of this series. I think they get back in the win column here in Game 2 thanks to their big advantage on the mound. Ben Lively is 3-6 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 12 starts this year. He is 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Kendall Graveman is 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 7 road starts this year for Oakland. The A's 20-47 in their last 67 road games. Oakland is 8-20 in Graveman's last 28 road starts. The Phillies are 8-3 in their last 11 games following a loss. Take Philadelphia.

7* AL Central Game of the Month on Chicago White Sox +103
The Key: Chicago White Sox fans are getting a chance to see their young prospects get significant playing time down the stretch. And the results have been impressive in their rotation and their lineup. They are 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. The Sox have scored 11 or more runs in 3 of their last 6 games, including their 17-7 beat down of the Tigers last night. The Tigers are the worst team in baseball right now with all of the players they traded away. They are 0-6 in their last 6 games overall. Carson Fulmer allowed 1 earned run while striking out 9 in 6 innings of an 8-1 victory over San Francisco on September 10th in his last start. Anibal Sanchez is 3-4 with a 6.90 ERA in 13 starts this year, including 0-1 with a 15.43 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Tigers are 1-10 in their last 11 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

The Astros should light him up. Brad Peacock has posted some good numbers this year, but he's up against an Angels lineup that has gotten stronger via trades in the second half. Peacock has allowed 12 runs in 13 2/3 innings in his last 3 starts against the Angels. Houston is 9-1 OVER in road games after a 5 game span where the bullpen ERA was 6.50 or worse this season.

Matt Moore has been one of the worst starters all season, going 5-13 with a 5.38 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 28 starts. Moore has allowed 12 earned runs in 9 2/3 innings in his last 2 starts against the Dodgers this season. The wind is expected to be blowing out to center at about 13 MPH come game time as well, which will help aid this OVER. The OVER is 13-3 in Dodgers last 16 games overall, and 7-0 in their last 7 vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. The OVER is 6-0-1 in Giants last 7 games overall. Take the OVER.

And the Rangers should be a bigger favorite here against the Mariners given their advantage on the mound. Miguel Gonzalez has been great at home this year, going 4-3 with a 3.77 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 9 home starts. Marco Gonzales is still looking for his first win, going 0-1 with an 8.25 ERA and 1.96 WHIP in 6 starts, and 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 3 road starts.

The Giants will play hard in this series and want to win with the Dodgers being their biggest rivals. And the Giants have the advantage on the mound to boot. Chris Stratton is 2-2 with a 3.15 ERA in 6 starts, including 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in 2 home starts. Kenta Maeda is 4-5 with a 5.46 ERA in 12 road starts this year.

The Key: The Boston Red Sox are now 80-61 on the season. They Tampa Bay Rays are getting closer to being eliminated from postseason contention at 70-72. The Red Sox should win their 4th straight game with ease tonight thanks to their advantage on the mound. Chris Sale is 15-7 with a 2.85 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 28 starts this year. Sale is 7-5 with a 3.31 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 12 lifetime starts vs. Tampa Bay. He has struck out 13, 12 and 12 batters in his last 3 starts against the Rays this season.

I like Mike Leake and the Mariners here over Ricky Nolasco and the Angels. Leake sports a 3.51 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 15 home starts this year. Nolasco is 3-7 with a 5.17 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 14 road starts. Leake is 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA in one lifetime starts vs. Los Angeles, which came last year. Nolasco sports an 8.68 ERA in his last 2 starts at Seattle, yielding 9 earned runs and 4 homers in 9 1/3 innings. The Angels are 1-8 in their last 9 games following an off day.

The Cardinals are 10-2 in their last 12 meetings with San Diego, including 5-0 in their last 5 road meetings. Lance Lynn is the better starter here. Lynn is 10-6 with a 2.99 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 28 starts this year. Clayton Richard is 6-13 with a 4.94 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 28 starts. Lynn is 3-2 with a 3.25 ERA in 6 lifetime starts vs. San Diego.

I backed them yesterday with success, and they are now 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. This is an excellent price to back them at nearly even money against the San Diego Padres, who are out of contention and just playing for pride. The Padres are 17-36 in their last 53 vs. a team with a winning record. The Padres are 0-5 in Lamet's last 5 starts vs. a team with a winning record.

They have gone 4-1 in their last 5 games to make their run, and opened this 4-game series against the lowly Padres with a 2-0 victory. Look for Michael Wacha to shut them down tonight in Game 2 as well. Wacha has never lost to the Padres, going 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts against them. Travis Wood is 2-2 with a 5.36 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 10 starts for the Padres. He is also 5-6 with a 5.61 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 18 lifetime starts against the Cardinals.

Alex Cobb has been great at home this year at 5-4 with a 2.34 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 11 starts. He sports a 2.20 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in his last 3 starts overall as well. Cobb has never lost to the Twins, going 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA in 2 lifetime starts against them. Jose Berrios is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA in his lone lifetime start against the Rays.

They are 0-4 in their last 4 games overall. Getting Zack Greinke as a home dog is a gift today. Greinke is 12-1 with a 2.36 ERA in 15 home starts this year.

Sonny Gray has been great this year at 7-8 with a 3.37 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 20 starts, and 6-2 with a 3.07 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 11 home starts.

Their offense is on fire as they have scored 47 runs over their past 6 games, including 20 in the first 3 games of this series against the White Sox, who now have a taxed bullpen. Making matters worse is that they traded away their best bullpen arms to the Yankees. Ervin Santana is 13-7 with a 3.33 ERA in 25 starts this year, including 8-2 with a 2.59 ERA in 12 road starts. He'll be opposed by James Shields, who is 2-4 with a 5.72 ERA in 14 starts, including 2-3 with a 6.14 ERA in 7 home starts.

The Key: The Chicago Cubs appear to have turned the corner. They have gone 6-2 in their last 8 games behind an offense that has scored 57 runs in those 8 games and an average of 7.1 RPG. I'll lay the price with them today given their advantage on the mound. John Lackey is pitching his best baseball since the All-Star Break. He is 5-0 with a 3.06 ERA in his last 6 starts. Lackey is 6-5 with a 3.75 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 16 lifetime starts vs. Cincinnati. Homer Bailey has been one of the worst starters in baseball this year. He is 4-6 with an 8.44 ERA and 2.04 WHIP in 11 starts, including 0-4 with a 14.33 ERA and 2.57 WHIP in 4 home starts. Bailey sports a 4.66 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 17 lifetime starts vs. Chicago. He gave up 6 earned runs and 12 base runners in 5 2/3 innings of a 6-7 loss to the Cubs in his last start on August 16th. Cincinnati is 1-11 after scoring 1 run or less this season. The Cubs are 11-0 in their last 11 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Chicago is 7-0 in Lackey's last 7 starts. The Reds are 0-5 in Bailey's last 5 home starts. Take this combined 34-1 angle straight to the bank tonight. Take Chicago.

7* Brewers/Giants National League *BAILOUT* on Milwaukee -117
The Key: The Milwaukee Brewers have gotten back on track with a 7-1 run over their last 8 games to pull within 2 games of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. Now they have an easy series coming against the Giants starting Monday. This is a Giants team that just lost back-to-back games to the Philadelphia Phillies over the weekend, the only team with a worse record than them in the National League. Zach Davies has yet to lose on the road, going 7-0 with a 2.52 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 12 road starts this season. Chris Stratton is 1-1 with a 3.44 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 3 starts for the Giants. He has already walked 10 batters in 18 1/3 innings as control has clearly been an issue. Buster Posey is expected to sit tonight, making Davies' job a little easier. Davies is 10-1 (+10.7 Units) against the money line after a win this season. The Brewers are 7-0 in Davies' last 7 starts with 5 days of rest. Take Milwaukee.

7* National League *HEAVY HITTER* on Colorado Rockies -123
The Key: Getting the Rockies at this low of a price at home is a nice value. Especially when you consider that starting pitcher Kyle Freeland is 6-4 with a 3.31 ERA in 12 starts at hitter-friendly Coors Field this season. Chase Anderson makes his return from the DL today with his first start since June 28th. He'll be on a pitch count and the Rockies should get into Milwaukee's shaky bullpen early. The Rockies are 38-23 at home this season, hitting .301 and scoring 6.2 RPG. Colorado is 10-1 (+10.6 Units) against the money line when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 54%) this season. Freeland is 10-2 (+8.1 Units) against the money line in day games this season. The Brewers are 1-10 in their last 11 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Take Colorado.

The Mets appear to have quit as they are 0-5 in their last 5 games overall to fall to 53-67 on the year. The Marlins have the hotter starter in Vance Worley, who is 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA in his last 3 starts. Rafael Montero is 1-5 with a 5.82 ERA in 10 starts this year, 0-5 with a 6.52 ERA in 6 home starts, and 0-1 with a 6.13 ERA in his last 3 starts.

They haven't played well over the last 2 weeks, but now they have 6 straight home games to get back on track. I'll gladly back Austin Pruitt, who is 1-2 with a 3.08 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 5 starts this year for the Rays. He has a 1.96 ERA in his last 3 starts, which is impressive considering he has faced 3 of the best teams in baseball in the Indians, Red Sox and Astros. Erasmo Ramirez has been awful on the road this year, going 0-3 with a 10.35 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 5 starts for the Mariners. The Mariners are 6-16 in Ramirez's last 22 starts. Take Tampa Bay.

7* Nats/Padres National League *BAILOUT* on San Diego -109

That's especially the case with all of the injuries that are piling up. They are without Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, Jayson Werth, Adam Eaton and Stephen Strasburg. The Strasburg injury is a big reason why Edwin Jackson has been added to the rotation. While he's held his own thus far, it's only a matter of time before he starts getting blown up like he has throughout his career. Jhoulys Chacin has been one of the most underrated starters in the big leagues. Chacin has been especially good at home, going 7-2 with a 1.86 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 12 starts at Petco Park. Chacin is 3-2 with a 3.43 ERA in 7 lifetime starts vs. Washington. Jackson has never beaten the Padres, going 0-6 with a 6.98 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 10 lifetime starts against them. The Padres are 32-27 (+8.6 units) at home this year and will get up to play the Nationals in this series. Chacin is 10-2 (+8.4 Units) against the money line at home when the money line is +125 to -125 over the last 2 seasons. Take San Diego.

They are 2-9 in their last 11 games overall while losing all nine games by 2 runs or more. The Rangers should roll today thanks to their huge advantage on the mound. Cole Hamels is 7-1 with a 3.31 ERA in 14 starts this year, 5-0 with a 2.66 ERA in 7 home starts, and 2-0 with a 1.23 ERA in his last 3 starts.

7* American League *Total* Annihilator on Tigers/Rangers UNDER 10.5
The Key: I cashed in the Rangers/Tigers UNDER 11 yesterday and I'm going to back the UNDER 10.5 again today. For whatever reason, the books have set the number too high once again tonight. This is an especially high total for a game involving Detroit ace Justin Verlander. He has been spectacular of late, going 3-0 with a 0.86 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in his last 3 starts while allowing only 2 earned runs in 21 innings. A.J. Griffin has held his own for the Rangers at 5-3 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 10 starts. The Rangers have been held to 5 runs or fewer in 8 of their last 11 games, while the Tigers have been held to 5 or fewer in 17 of their last 21 games. Verlander is 11-1 UNDER vs. an AL team with an on base percentage .320 or worse in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons. The UNDER is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. The UNDER is 13-1-2 in Rangers last 16 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. The UNDER is 5-0-1 in Rangers last 6 games overall. Take the UNDER.

7* MLB Total of the Month on Tigers/Rangers UNDER 11
The Key: I like the price we are getting with the UNDER in the Tigers/Rangers Game 1 battle Monday. It's not like either offense is lighting it up. The Rangers have been held to 5 runs or fewer in 8 of their last 10 games overall. The Tigers have been held to 5 runs or fewer in 16 of their last 20 games overall. One of these teams is going to have to get to at least 6 runs to tie or beat us, and I'm just not seeing it. Michael Fulmer sports a 3.48 ERA in 10 road starts this season, and he pitched a 9-inning shutout in his only lifetime start against the Rangers. Martin Perez hasn't been great, but his job could be much easier today considering both Ian Kinsler and Miggy Cabrera are questionable for the Tigers after sitting out yesterday. Texas is 7-0 UNDER after a combined score of 3 runs or less this season. The UNDER is 23-8 in Perez's last 31 starts during game 1 of a series. The UNDER is 23-8-2 in Rangers last 33 during game 1 of a series. The UNDER is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Take the UNDER.

7* American League *HEAVY HITTER* on Baltimore Orioles -108

The A's are the second-worst team in the AL with a record of 51-66 on the year. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games overall. Jeremy Hellickson has allowed just 3 earned runs in 13 innings in his last two starts for the Orioles. Kendall Graveman has allowed 10 earned runs in 7 1/3 innings in his last two starts for the A's. Hellickson is 2-1 with a 3.44 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 6 lifetime starts vs. Oakland. Graveman is 1-2 with a 7.71 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 4 lifetime starts vs. Baltimore. This one looks like a blowout in favor of the Orioles today, and we're getting them at basically an even money price. Hellickson is 8-2 (+8.5 Units) against the money line in day games this season.

7* AL West Game of the Year on Texas Rangers +113
The Key: It's now or never for the Texas Rangers, who are still very much alive in the wild card hunt at just 3.5 games back of the second spot. They have a chance to get back on track against a slumping Astros team that has many key injuries right now holding them back. The Astros have gone 2-7 in their last 9 games overall, and they were just swept by the White Sox in Chicago last series. The Astros played an extra innings game on Thursday, while the Rangers had yesterday off, giving the home team a huge edge in rest. Rarely will you get to back Cole Hamels as a home dog. He is 4-0 with a 3.12 ERA at home this season. Charlie Morton is 3-2 with a 4.08 ERA on the road. Hamels has allowed 3 earned runs or fewer in 5 straight starts against the Astros. He is 2-0 with a 1.66 ERA in his last 3 starts against Houston, yielding only 4 earned runs in 21 2/3 innings. Houston is 0-6 in its last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter.

The Cards have the advantage on the mound tonight with Lance Lynn, who is 10-6 with a 3.12 ERA in 23 starts, 5-3 with a 2.58 ERA in 10 home starts and 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA in his last 3 starts.

They have the 3rd-best OPS in baseball against left-handers this season. They will get after southpaw Ty Blach, who is 7-7 with a 4.21 ERA and 1.31 WHIP and just 58 K's in 115 1/3 innings this season. Jose Quintana has been at his best on the road this season with a 3.56 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 12 starts away from home.

The Key: The Cleveland Indians are 9-1 in their last 10 games overall to take a 2-game lead on the Kansas City Royals in the AL Central. I like this price on the Indians Monday considering their massive advantage on the mound. Mike Clevinger has gone 5-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 13 starts this year, including 4-1 with a 2.15 ERA in 7 road starts. He'll be opposed by Doug Fister, who is 0-3 with a 7.58 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 4 starts, and 0-2 with a 7.84 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in 2 home starts. Fister gave up 6 runs and 12 base runners in 4 1/3 innings in his last start against the Indians in 2016. Neither Andrew Miller nor Cody Allen pitched yesterday, so both will be fresh and ready to shut it down after Clevinger leaves this game with the lead. Fister is 5-21 (-17.7 Units) against the money line against AL Central opponents lifetime. The Indians are 7-0 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Red Sox are 2-6 in their last 8 games overall. Take Cleveland.

7* American League *HEAVY HITTER* on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-165)
The Key: The Chicago White Sox are going to be the worst team in baseball from the All Star Break-on. They traded away almost all their best players throughout their starting pitching, lineup and bullpen. They have been gutted, and that's why they are struggling in a big way right now. The White Sox are 1-13 in their last 14 games overall, and they have lost four straight by 3 runs or more. Conversely, the Indians are one of the hottest teams in baseball, going 8-0 in their last 8 games overall while winning 6 of those by 4 runs or more. Expect more of the same today. Corey Kluber is 8-3 with a 2.74 ERA in 16 starts this year, and he'll be opposed by Miguel Gonzalez, who is 5-9 with a 4.99 ERA in 15 starts. Kluber is 8-4 with a 3.18 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 16 lifetime starts vs. Chicago, while Gonzalez is 4-2 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 7 lifetime starts vs. Cleveland. The Indians are 4-0 in Kluber's last 4 starts against Chicago, which have all come over the last 2 seasons. Take Cleveland on the Run Line.

7* MLB Run Line Game of the Week on Chicago Cubs -1.5 (-140)
The Key: The Chicago Cubs are 10-2 since the All-Star Break and rolling right now. They should have no problem beating the Chicago White Sox by 2 runs or more once again tonight. The White Sox are 1-11 in their last 12 games overall and have traded away many of their best players prior to the deadline. Jon Lester has been very sharp in his last 2 starts since the break, giving up just 3 earned runs in 15 innings while striking out 16 for a 1.80 ERA. All of their starting pitchers have stepped up after they traded for Jose Quintana, and the competition amongst themselves has helped that. Mike Pelfrey is not a very good starter as he has gone 3-7 with a 4.19 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 16 starts this year. Pelfrey is only averaging 4.8 innings per start. That is bad news because the White Sox traded away all of their best bullpen arms before the deadline. The Sox have allowed 5 or more runs in 6 of their last 7 games overall. Lester is 50-8 (+31.1 Units) against the money line as a favorite of -200 or more lifetime. His teams are winning by 3.2 RPG on average in this situation. Take the Cubs on the Run Line.

The White Sox are 1-10 in their last 11 games overall and have traded away many of their best players prior to the deadline. Now they throw their worst starter in James Shields, who has gone 2-2 with a 5.79 ERA in 9 starts this year, and 0-1 with a 9.60 ERA in his last 3 starts in which he has allowed 16 runs and 5 homers in 15 innings. Jake Arrieta has been great of late in giving up only 3 earned runs and 12 base runners in 13 2/3 innings in his last 2 starts since the All-Star Break. Arrieta is 28-4 (+20.7 Units) against the money line after giving up 2 earned runs or fewer in his last 2 outings over the last 2 seasons. The Cubs are winning by 2.6 RPG in these spots.

7* Interleague Game of the Month on Texas Rangers -128

Daniel Straily has been one of the more lucky starters in baseball based on sabermetrics. He sports a 3.49 ERA in 20 starts this year, but a 4.27 ERA in 9 road starts. Hamels is 24-6 (+15.3 Units) against the money line as a favorite of -125 to -175 over the last 3 seasons. The Marlins are 17-35 in their last 52 interleague road games. The Rangers are 13-1 in Hamels' last 14 home starts vs. a team with a losing record. Take Texas.

7* Pirates/Giants National League *BAILOUT* on Pittsburgh -146
The Key: The San Francisco Giants aren't used to being out of contention. They are just 38-62 on the season and really have nothing to play for the rest of the way. They just lost 3 out of 4 at home to the lowly San Diego Padres. The Pirates have won 6 of their last 8 and are right in the thick of the NL Central race. I trust them a lot here, especially with Gerrit Cole coming on strong. He has gone 1-0 with a 2.37 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in his last 3 starts while striking out 22 and walking just 1 batter in 19 innings. Cole is 3-1 with a 3.21 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 5 lifetime starts vs. San Francisco. Matt Cain is 3-8 with a 5.42 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 18 starts for the Giants. The Pirates are 6-1 in Cole's last 7 starts, including 4-0 in his last 4 road starts. The Giants are 10-29 in Cain's last 39 starts vs. a team with a losing record.

7* National League *HEAVY HITTER* on Colorado Rockies -108

The Pirates are overvalued right now because they had a 6-game winning streak before losing 3-7 to the Rockies yesterday. Now they'll be deflated after their streak came to an end. Kyle Freeland has had no troubles at hitter-friendly Coors Field this year. He has gone 5-4 with a 3.23 ERA in 9 home starts. Ivan Nova has never beaten the Rockies, going 0-2 with an 8.40 ERA and 2.07 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts against them. He should get lit up in this one Sunday. Take Colorado.

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Cleveland Indians at home today as you'll rarely get them as this small of favorites. The bats came to life yesterday in a 13-3 win over the Blue Jays. Now Danny Salazar is back from the disabled list and will certainly improve their rotation. Salazar went 2-2 with a 3.38 ERA in four minor league rehab starts. He has some of the best stuff in baseball as he struck out 73 batters in 52 1/3 innings before going on the disabled list with shoulder soreness. Cleveland is 34-13 after having lost 5 or 6 of their last 7 games over the last 3 seasons. Toronto is 4-17 in Saturday road games over the last 2 seasons. The Indians are 14-6 in Salazar's last 20 home starts. The Indians are 4-0 in their last 4 home meetings with the Blue Jays. Take Cleveland.

Chris Sale is 11-4 with a 2.59 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with a whopping 191 K's in 135 1/3 innings. He is well on his way to winning the Cy Young. Not to mention, Sale has never lost to the Angels, going 5-0 with a 1.45 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in 6 lifetime starts against them. Ricky Nolasco sports a 5.68 ERA in 7 lifetime starts vs. Boston. Nolasco is 4-10 with a 4.49 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 19 starts this year. Sale is 23-4 vs. an AL team with a team batting average of .255 or worse over the last 2 seasons. His teams are winning by 3.3 RPG on average in this spot. The Angels are 2-12 in Nolsaco's last 14 starts overall. Take Boston on the Run Line.

Duffy has been very good at home, going 2-3 with a 2.41 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in six home starts. The Tigers just traded away arguably their best hitter in J.D. Martinez, and they have one of the worst bullpens in the majors with a 6.91 ERA in road games this season. That's a big reason why they are just 18-29 on the road this year.

The Key: The Pittsburgh Pirates have shown a lot of emotion in taking the first two games of this series from the first-place Milwaukee Brewers. They now sit just 5 games back of the Brewers and should pull closer with another win today due to their advantage on the mound. Gerrit Cole is coming off two straight good starts where he has posted a 3.00 ERA in beating both the Phillies and Cards. Cole is 3-3 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 9 lifetime starts vs. Milwaukee. He has faced them twice this season, giving up just 2 earned runs in 14 innings for a 1.29 ERA. He'll be opposed by Zach Davies, who is 11-4 in spite of a 5.08 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 19 starts this year. Davies is 1-3 with a 10.29 ERA and 2.24 WHIP in 5 lifetime starts vs. Pittsburgh.

Colon is 7-8 with a 5.28 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 21 lifetime starts vs. New York. The Yankees are 17-3 after a 5 game span where the bullpen ERA was 2.00 or better this season.

The Key: The Cleveland Indians had a nice finish to the All-Star Break to climb to 47-40 and in first place in the AL Central. They are far and away the best team in this division even though they haven't played like it at times. And Carlos Carrasco has been their best starter, going 10-3 with a 3.44 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 17 starts, including 7-1 with a 2.38 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 9 road starts. Carrasco has never lost to the A's, going 3-0 with a 1.45 ERA and 0.61 WHIP in 4 lifetime starts against them. Sonny Gray is 4-4 with a 4.00 ERA in 13 starts this season. Gray has allowed 14 earned runs over 8 innings in his last 2 starts against the Indians over the past 2 seasons for a 15.80 ERA. The Indians are 9-0 in Carrasco's 9 starts as a favorite of -125 to -175 this season. The Indians are 9-2 in their last 11 road games. The A's are 2-8 in their last 10 home games.

They have been outscored 15-2 by the Indians through the first two games of this series. The Indians have gone 5-2 in their last 7 games and are looking to finish strong before the break. They have scored 11 runs or more in 3 of their last 6 games overall. They should continue to swing a hot bat against Michael Fulmer, who is 1-2 with a 6.98 ERA and 1.966 WHIP in four career starts against Cleveland. Corey Kluber is having another Cy Young-caliber season, going 7-3 with a 2.85 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 13 starts, 5-1 with a 2.60 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 8 home starts, and 1-1 with a 0.78 ERA and 0.65 WHIP in his last 3 starts with 35 K's in 23 innings.

7* AL West Game of the Year on Texas Rangers -141
The Key: The Los Angeles Angels have been ravaged by injuries in their rotation and to their best player in Mike Trout, who has missed 47 games and counting. They've held their own up to this point, but it's only a matter of time before the bottom falls out. I trust in the Rangers, who are 3.5 games out of the wild card, to have a big second half due to the talent they have on board. And one of their aces in Cole Hamels is now back healthy and coming off a great start in which he allowed just 2 runs and 2 hits in 6 2/3 innings of a 10-4 win over the White Sox. Hamels is 2-1 with a 2.93 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 6 lifetime starts vs. Los Angeles. Ricky Nolasco is coming off a complete game shutout and is in line for a letdown because of it. Nolasco is 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts vs. Texas. He gave up 5 runs in 5 innings of a 3-8 loss to the Rangers in his only start against them in 2017. Hamels is 23-6 (+14.3 Units) against the money line as a favorite of -125 to -175 over the last 3 seasons. Hamels is 14-2 (+11.8 Units) against the money line vs. an AL team with an on base percentage .320 or worse in the second half of the season over the last 3 seasons. The Angels are 2-10 in Nolasco's last 12 starts and 0-9 in his last 9 starts when working on 5 days of rest. The Rangers are 24-4 in Hamels' last 28 starts vs. a team with a losing record.

They'll feast on Francisco Liriano, who is 4-4 with a 5.66 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 13 starts this year. Lance McCullers has been very good for the Astros, but he is notoriously a bad road starter throughout his career when comparing his home/away splits. Houston is 8-1 OVER in road games after scoring 7 runs or more in 2 straight games this season. The OVER is 5-0 in Astros last 5 games overall. The OVER is 6-2 n Liriano's last 8 starts.

But the Blue Jays haven't been any better. They have gone 2-8 in their last 10 games overall. They have only scored more than four runs once during this stretch.

Miranda has never lost to the Angels, going 3-0 with a 3.38 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 4 lifetime starts against them. Parker Bridwell is very raw for the Angels as he has made just 3 starts this year.

The Angels are coming off a huge 4-game series against the Dodgers and could certainly have a letdown here in Game 1. Take Seattle.

7* AL Total of the Month on Yankees/White Sox OVER 10.5
The Key: The conditions favor the OVER in today's game between the White Sox and Yankees. The wind is expected to be blowing out to left center at 12 miles per hour around game time. The Yankees have one of the best lineups in baseball as they are scoring 5.6 runs per game. They hung 12 on the White Sox yesterday. They should feast on James Shields, who is 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 5 starts this year, including 1-1 with a 7.56 ERA and 2.04 WHIP in 2 home starts. Luis Cessa is just a fill-in starter for the Yankees. He has gone 0-2 with a 7.00 ERA in 2 spot starts this year for them. The White Sox are scoring 4.8 runs per game at home. Shields is 7-0 to the OVER in June games over the last 2 seasons. The OVER is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Chicago. Take the OVER.

This is a very nice price here on the Diamondbacks when you consider how big of an advantage they have on the mound in this game. Zack Godley has been flying under the radar, going 3-1 with a 2.53 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 9 starts, and 2-0 with a 2.13 ERA and 0.83 WHIP in 4 home starts. Adam Wainwright has been getting absolutely crushed on the road this year, going 2-4 with a 9.48 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in 7 starts. The Cardinals are 3-12 in their last 15 road games.

7* Interleague Game of the Week on Seattle Mariners -1.5 (+115)
The Key: The Seattle Mariners have a big scheduling advantage here. They had yesterday off while the Phillies played a Game 4 in Arizona. We're getting the better, fresher team with easily the better starter on the mound here, and I like this plus price with the Mariners on the Run Line as a result. James Paxton is 5-2 with a 3.39 ERA in 11 starts this year, including 4-1 with a 2.48 ERA in 7 home starts. He'll be opposed by Aaron Nola, who is 4-5 with a 4.32 ERA in 10 starts this year for the Phillies. The Mariners are 25-15 and scoring 5.3 RPG at home this year, while the Phillies are 10-31 and scoring 3.5 RPG on the road. Philly is 1-12 after scoring 1 run or less this season, losing by 2.8 RPG.

7* Rockies/Giants NL West *BAILOUT* on Colorado +125
The Key: The Colorado Rockies are coming off 5 straight losses. They'll be hungry to get back in the win column today, and now they get to face the 27-51 San Francisco Giants to do just that. I just can't fathom how the Giants are consistently favored like they are today. Their name recognition gets them too much respect, but they simply aren't a good team this year. And Jeff Samardzija is almost always favored despite the fact that he's 2-9 with a 4.74 ERA in 15 starts this year. We'll gladly back German Marquez against him. Marquez has gone 5-3 with a 3.92 ERA in 11 starts, 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 6 home starts, and 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last 3 outings. Samardzija is 0-3 with a 9.33 ERA in his last 3 starts against Colorado, yielding 19 earned runs in 18 1/3 innings. The Rockies are 20-6 in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Colorado is 7-1 in Marquez's last 8 starts. The Giants are 5-21 in their last 26 overall. San Francisco is 1-10 in its last 11 home games. Take Colorado.

The Mariners have now won 6 straight while scoring at least 5 runs in all 6 games, including 13 last night against the Astros. They are getting healthy and will be a dangerous team moving forward.

They are getting healthy in their lineup and on the mound as Jean Segura just returned, and Felix Hernandez will be making his first start since April 26th. Hernandez pitching 6 shutout innings while striking out 8 in his final rehab start last week. Hernandez is 2-0 with a 3.29 ERA in 2 home starts this year. He'll be opposed by Joe Musgrove, going 4-6 with a 5.09 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 12 starts this year. Musgrove sports a 4.36 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 2 lifetime starts vs. Seattle.

The Key: We're getting a great price here Wednesday to fade the Philadelphia Phillies. It has been a profitable move all season as they are just 22-47, especially of late as they are 1-12 in their last 13 games overall. I'm not sure why Nick Pivetta is getting so much love from the books as he's 1-3 with a 4.46 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 7 starts this year. Michael Wacha isn't having his best season, but he has only allowed 3 earned runs in 14 innings in his last 2 starts against the Phillies. Pivetta faced the Cardinals for the first and only time earlier this season, allowing 4 runs in 5 innings of a 7-0 loss. The Cardinals are 11-0 in their last 11 vs. National League East.

Those two losses followed up a 6-game winning streak in which they scored 60 runs combined. Now it's a short trip to Oakland and I think they'll get a victory here in Game 1 of this series against the A's. This is an A's team that is just 1-6 in their last 7 games overall. I really like Jordan Montgomery, who is 4-4 with a 3.55 ERA in 11 starts, 2-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 5 road starts, and 2-1 with a 1.56 ERA in his last 3 starts. We'll fade Sonny Gray, who is 2-2 with a 4.37 ERA in 8 starts this year, including 0-1 with a 6.11 ERA in his last 3 starts. Gray is 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA in 4 lifetime starts vs. New York.

6* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Colorado Rockies -138
The Key: The Colorado Rockies hung a 10-spot on the San Diego Padres yesterday. They should hang a big number on Jarred Cosart today as well. Cosart is 0-1 with a 3.72 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 5 starts this year, averaging just 3.9 innings per start. He'll be opposed by young phenom Jeff Hoffman, who is 2-0 with a 2.92 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in 2 starts with 15 strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings. Cosart is 0-1 with a 5.87 ERA and 1.96 WHIP in 2 starts this year. Bets against home underdogs with a money line of +100 or higher (SAN DIEGO) - with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.70 to 4.20 on the season (NL), after a game where the bullpen was rocked for 6 or more earned runs are 37-7 since 1997. Take Colorado.

7* Twins/Angels American League *BAILOUT* on Minnesota -109
The Key: The Minnesota Twins are now 16-5 on the road this season profiting backers +13.6 units. Ace Ervin Santana has been virtually unhittable this season, especially on the road. Santana is 7-2 with a 1.75 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in 11 starts this year, and 4-0 with a 0.31 ERA and 0.72 WHIP in 4 road starts. He'll be opposed by Matt Shoemaker, who is 4-3 with a 4.26 ERA in 11 starts, and 3-1 with a 5.21 ERA in 5 home starts. The Angels are without Mike Trout for a couple months and will be straight fade material now and moving forward. The Twins are 7-0 in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Twins are 6-0 in Santana's last 6 starts vs. a team with a losing record. Take Minnesota.
