The Mets starter Noah Syndergaard has gone 0-3 in his last three team starts on the road with a large 7.63 ERA and 1.76 WHIP. The Mets are a dismal 10-22 on the road this year, and that includes 4-19 at night. Syndergaard doesn’t figure to get much help from his bullpen since they’ve really struggled of late. The Braves starter Williams Perez has posted an excellent 1.50 ERA in six starts since being called up from the minors, and allowed 1 earned run or less in five of those six outings. Play on the Atlanta Braves as 10* Top Play money line selection.

The Astros starter Lance McCullers has displayed excellent form over his last three starts, posting a 1.71 ERA, 0.57 WHIP, and a better than 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. In his one start versus Seattle this season, McCullers allowed 0 earned runs, 0 hits, and walked 4 in 5.0 innings of work during a 13-0 Astros win. Houston enters tonight on a five game winning streak and averaged 8.6 runs per contest in the process of doing so. Seattle has scored 2 runs or less in 11 of their previous fifteen games, and has been shutout four times in their last eight overall. The Mariners starter Elias has posted a lofty 5.19 ERA during his previous three starts. The Seattle hurler is 0-2 in his team starts versus Houston in 2015 with a mammoth 9.65 ERA. Play on the Astros as a 10* Top Play selection.

The Mets Matt Harvey doesn’t appear to be 100% healthy of late. When looking at his last four starts it’s easy to arrive at the conclusion. In those outings he’s posted an awful 7.20 ERA. Even more alarming during that terrible stretch, he’s allowed 8 home runs in just 25.0 innings. Putting that into perspective, Harvey allowed only 4 home runs in his first 54 2/3 innings pitched this season.

Toronto was held to 3 runs in yesterday’s extra inning loss to the Mets, and that’s news in of itself. It was just the third time in their last twelve that they were held to less than 7 runs in a game. The Blue Jays hit two more home runs on Monday, and they now have 81 for the season which is third best in all of baseball. Toronto is 19-11-2 over the total in away games this year. The Mets has gone 5-1 over the total in their last six games, and 28-19-3 over the total when facing a right-handed starting pitcher like they will be today. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

The Yankees Masahiro Tanaka has gone 4-0 in his last four starts, posted a microscopic 0.99 ERA, 0.55 WHIP, and compiled a better than 14:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Tanaka has gone a perfect 3-0 on the road this season with an excellent 0.89 ERA and 0.49 WHIP.

The Marlins Tom Koehler has a huge disparity in his home/away splits this season. He does enter this outing in terrible form over his last three starts with a 6.35 ERA and 1.77 WHIP. However, each of those outings came on the road. The Miami hurler has posted a stellar 1.72 ERA in five starts at home, and four of the five went under the total.

“The Bronx Bombers” have smacked 78 home runs this season in their first 62 games. They’ve done most of that damage at home, evidenced by averaging 1.6 home runs per game at Yankee Stadium, and just 1.0 per contest on the road. Miami is one of the toughest ball parks in Major League Baseball to hit home runs.

The Marlins have gone 5-0-1 under the total in the last six, and 10-3-1 under the total during their previous fourteen games. The Yankees won’t have the benefit of having a designated hitter tonight in a National League stadium. I look for Tanaka to have another strong outing against a Miami team which possesses little power beyond Giancarlo Stanton. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

The Phillies have gone over the total in their last seven games in a row. The Philadelphia starting pitcher Aaron Harang has a large 8.18 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in two starts versus the Reds since the beginning of 2014.

The Reds have gone 8-1 over the total in their last 9 games. They’re also 16-9-3 over the total at home in 2015, and have socked 40 home runs in those 28 games. Cincinnati starter Anthony DeSclafani has a sizable 6.57 ERA in two outings versus Philadelphia since 2014.

The Phillies have a team on base percentage of .285 this season. The Red starter Desclafani has a 1.26 WHIP on the season. Any road team (Phillies) play in the first half of the season, and has a team on base percentage of .300 or less, versus a National League starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.25 to 1.30, resulted in that road team going 41-14 (74.5%) since 1997. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play.

Both starting pitchers for this afternoon’s game enter in excellent form during their previous three starts. The Cubs Kyle Hendricks has gone 3-0 under the total in his last three with a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a better than 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Nationals Jordan Zimmerman is 3-0 under the number in his last three with a 1.23 ERA. The home plate umpire for today’s game is Kerwin Danley, and he’s gone 43-17-4 under the total in that role since the beginning of the 2013 season. These teams have gone 5-1 under the total during their six meetings in 2015. The Cubs are hitting a dismal .212 as a team in their 21 days game this season, and have gone 8-3 under the total in the last eleven games overall. Washington is averaging a paltry 2.4 runs per game, and hitting a terrible .219 as a team during its last seven. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

The Atlanta Braves have gone 5-0-1 over the total in the last six, and 8-2-1 over the number in their previous eleven games. They’ve averaged 7.5 runs and 12.2 hits per game during the last six contests. The Braves starter Julio Teheran has gone over the total in his last three starts and posted a very lofty 6.23 ERA during those outings. As a matter of fact, Teheran is 9-2 over the total this season with a lofty 4.87 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and has allowed 12 home runs in just 61.0 innings pitched. Teheran can expect little help from the bullpen which has an unimpressive staff ERA of 5.03. Atlanta is coming off a 10-8 loss to Pittsburgh on Friday, and they’ve gone 8-1 over the total in 2015 following a game in which they scored 8 runs or more. Those nine games averaged a whopping 13.5 runs combined being scored per contest.

Pittsburgh has gone 5-0-3 over the total during their previous eight games. The Pirates have amassed 10 hits or more in 12 of their last 16 games. The Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke is 3-0-1 over the total on the road in 2015 with a monster 9.34 ERA and 2.25 WHIP. Locke is 11-1 over the total on the road since that start of the 2014 season, and those games averaged a combined 10.5 runs per contest. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

The Dodgers Mike Bolsinger has posted an excellent 1.15 ERA in his first five outings. Bolsinger has displayed outstanding form in his most recent three starts, compiling a microscopic 0.90 ERA, and all of those games went under the total.

The Colorado Rockies Chad Bettis is 4-0 in his team starts with a stellar 2.96 ERA. He’s been even better in his previous three starts, posting a 2.02 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and nearly a 10:1 strikeout to walk ratio.

Anytime a game is played at Coors Field it’s always prone to being a high scoring affair. However, I’m going to bet against that likelihood continuing tonight. Both starting pitchers enter this game in very good form, and that should help to keep the scoring relatively low. Play on this game going under the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

Pittsburgh will send red-hot Gerrit Cole to the mound tonight. Cole has gone 7-3 in his team starts with an outstanding 2.25 ERA, and a 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Pirates right-handed hurler has displayed superb form during his previous three starts, compiling a 1.69 ERA, and a 12.5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. He’s made two career starts versus San Francisco, both have come since 2013, and Cole had a very good 3.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in those outings.

The Giants turn to veteran right-hander Ryan Vogelsong on Monday. Vogelsong has displayed sparkling form in his last three starts, compiling a 1.53 ERA, and the Giants went 3-0. He’s been especially good at AT&T Park this season, going 3-0 in his team starts with a 1.35 ERA, an excellent 0.65 WHIP, and just short of a 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. All three of those home starts went under the total. Vogelsong has gone 24-8 under the total in his career when installed as a home money line underdog of +100 or more like he’ll be this evening.

Although both teams body of work during the past couple of weeks indicates they’re each hitting with relative regularity, the books aren’t swayed in the least, and it’s evidenced by a low posted total. I like the way both of these starting pitchers have performed not only recently, but since the beginning of the season. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

Veteran right-hander Charlie Morton will be making just his second start of the season tonight for Pittsburgh. He made his 2015 debut this past Monday during a 4-2 Pirates home win. Morton was rock solid in that outing, allowing 2 earned runs on eight hits while walking none. Morton began the season on the disabled list while still recovering from hip surgery. The Pittsburgh Pirates saw their seven game win streak come to an end last night. During their seven game win streak, Pittsburgh averaged 6.6 runs and 10.7 hits per outing. They were held to just six hits in Friday’s 6-2 loss.

Tyson Ross will get the start on Saturday for the Padres.. Ross has encountered control problems which have hindered him since the beginning of the season. He’s walked 30 men in 58 2/3 innings. Ross’ control problems don’t figure to be corrected immediately. I look for the Pirates to be patient at the plate tonight, and force Ross into deep counts. It should result in favorable hitting situations, and some rally enhancing walks. Play Pittsburgh on the money line.

The Padres Cashner has unequivocally been the unluckiest starting pitcher in baseball this season. He’s a dismal 1-8 in his nine team starts despite posting a stellar 2.89 ERA. San Diego is 6-1 under the total during their last seven, and averaged a paltry 3.0 runs per game in those outings. Despite adding some additional power to their batting order during the offseason, it hasn’t translated to the type of home run numbers thus far that Padres management had envisioned. San Diego has hit just 39 home runs in their first 47 games. The Padres are 21-7 under the total since the start of the 2014 season as a road money line underdog of +125 to +175 like they will be this evening.

The Angels Garrett Richards is a perfect 3-0 during his team starts at home in 2015, and posted a terrific 1.74 ERA. The Angels are hitting an anemic .219 as a team during their previous seven games. They’ve also averaged a measly 2.4 runs per game during seven interleague tilts in 2015.  The Halos are 13-8 under the total at home, and those games averaged only a combined 7.0 runs per outing. They’ve also gone 14-5 under the total in their last nineteen games overall. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

The Dodgers are 18-7-1 over the total at home, and Atlanta is 26-16-2 over the number in 2015.

Right-hander Julio Teheran will make the start tonight for Atlanta. He’s struggled in his five starts on the road, going 4-1 over the total, posting a lofty 5.88 ERA, compiling a terrible 1.89 WHIP, and allowed seven home runs in just 26.0 innings pitched. Teheran is 0-3 in his career team starts versus the Dodgers with an unimpressive 6.50 ERA. All three of those outings have come since 2013.

The 2014 National League Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw will take the mound on Monday. Kershaw is off to an inauspicious beginning to the season, going 4-5 in his team starts, and has uncharacteristically high by his standards 4.32 ERA. As a matter of fact, the Dodgers southpaw hurler has been less than stellar during his last three starts, evidenced by a 5.49 ERA in those outings.

Dana Demuth is slated to be calling balls and strikes tonight at Dodger Stadium. This will be his ninth time as a home plate umpire in 2015, and he’s seen seven of those first eight games go over the total. Those eight times behind the dish for Demuth this season have averaged a combined 10.4 runs scored per game. Play on this game to go over the total as a 10* Top Play selection.

The Angels Matt Shoemaker has had a rough start to the 2015 season. He’s gone 3-3 in six team starts, posted a very lofty 6.61 ERA, and has allowed 10 home runs in just 31 1/3 innings pitched. That’s not good news when it pertains to his start on Saturday since Baltimore has socked a whopping 43 home runs in their first 33-games of the season. Speaking the Orioles, Ubaldo Jimenez will get the start. Jimenez has gone 3-0 in his team starts at Camden Yards with an excellent 0.86 ERA and just shy of a 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Jimenez has a stellar 2.41 ERA in 2015, and the Angels are 7-29 on the road since 2013 when facing an AL starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.20 or less. Play on the Baltimore Orioles as a 10* Top Play money line selection.

The Boston Red Sox have scored six runs or more in four of their first five games this season. On the other hand, the Yankees are hitting an awful .193 as a team during their first five games. That's especially not good news for Yankees since they will be facing a Red Sox pitching staff that's held opponents to a paltry batting average of .172.

The Red Sox will send their ace Clay Buchholz to the mound tonight, and he was magnificent in his opening day start at Philadelphia that resulted in a 8-0 Red Sox win. Buchholz went 7.0 innings, allowed just three hits, and struck out 10 while walking just one. He resembled more of the dominating pitcher he was in 2013, than the one which struggled terrible in 2014.

The Yankees Masahiro Tanaka looked to be every bit as good as advertised to start the 2014 season for the Yankees. Then he went down with a season ending elbow injury. Unfortunately his velocity has diminished considerably based on his performances during spring training, and he's  coming off a horrible opening day start during a 6-1 loss to Toronto.

Play on the Boston Red Sox on the money line as a 10* Top Play selection.

Texas @ Houston 8:10 PM ET
Game# 907-908
Play On: Houston -139 (10*)

The Texas Rangers have gone a respectable 20-17 in day games this season, but a horrible 32-63 (.337) on the road. The Texas starter Nick Tepesch has displayed poor form in 8 road starts this year by posting a 4.79 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in those outings. The Rangers will be facing a pitcher this evening that averages 6.3 strike outs per start. Texas has gone a miserable 13-34 on the year when facing a pitcher that averages 5 or more strikeouts per start. The Astros starter Colin McHugh has displayed very good form over his past 5-starts with a 1.76 ERA and better than 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio.

Any home team which is -100 to -150 on the money line that averages 4.2 or less runs per game, and has hit .225 or less as a team over their past 5-games, versus an American League starting pitcher that has an ERA of 4.20 to 4.70, has gone 32-8 (80%) during the past 18-seasons. Play on the Houston Astros as a 10* Top Play selection.

Marlins (Alvarez) @ Angels (Santiago) 10:05 PM ET
Game# 979-980
Play On: Miami +135 (10*)

The Marlins Henderson Alvarez has gone a terrific 14-2 against the money over his last 16-starts this season, including 7-1 in the last 8 on the road. The Marlins will be facing a southpaw tonight, and they've gone a very profitable 19-10 in that role this season. Miami has also gone an exceptional 13-3 versus American League opponents this season that average 4.7 or less runs per game.

The Angels starter Hector Santiago has definitely been the weak link of the rotation going a miserable 5-13 against the money this year. The Angels southpaw hurler has gone a dismal 1-8 against the money the past 2-season when installed as -100 to -150 on the money line.

Any NL money line road underdog of +100 to +150 that averages 4.1 or less runs per game, and they scored 2-runs or less in their previous game, versus an AL opponent with a starting pitcher who has an ERA 4.20 or less, has gone 29-17 (63%) over the last 18-seasons. Play on the Miami Marlins as a 10* Top Play selection.

Oakland (Hammel) @ Houston (Keuchel) 8:10 PM ET
Game# 923-924
Play On: Houston +110 (10*)

The Oakland starter Jason Hammel has been a disappointment since coming over in a trade from the Cubs. The right-hander has gone 1-5 against the money with the A's while posting a large 7.33 ERA and 1.59 WHIP. In his one start versus the Astros this season he was shelled, allowing 8 earned runs, 7-hits, and walked 3. Despite their 8-2 win at Houston on Monday the A's have gone just 7-15 in their last 22 on the road.

The Houston starter Dallas Keuchel is 2-0 against the money versus Oakland in 2014 with an impressive 2.35 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Keuchel has also been an extremely profitable 11-7 against the money this season when installed as an underdog of +100 or more, and has earned 9.80 units against the money line.

Angels (Weaver) @ A's (Kazmir) 8:05 PM ET
Game#927-928
Play On: A's -134 (10*)

The A’s starter Scott Kazmir has gone a terrific 7-1 against the money in day games this season, with an excellent 1.49 ERA, a 0.85 WHIP, and a nearly 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Oakland southpaw has gone 9-3 against the money at home in 2014 with a stellar 2.28 ERA and 0.92 WHIP.

The Angels Jered Weaver has been in bad form over his last 5-starts by posting a lofty 5.40 ERA and a terrible 1.80 WHIP.  Weaver has gone 0-2 against the money versus Oakland this season with a large 7.15 ERA.

Any home money line favorite of -125 to -175 that averages 4.7 to 5.2 runs per game, and their previous game saw a combined total of 4-runs or less scored, versus an American League starting pitcher with an ERA of 4.20 or less on the season, has gone 70-22 (76.1%) during the last 18-seasons. Play on the Oakland A's as a 10* Top Play selection.

LA Angels (Santiago) @ Oakland (Gray) 10:05 PM ET
Game# 927-928
Play On: LA Angels +150 (10*)

These teams enter this crucial AL West series headed down opposite paths. Oakland has gone a terrible 2-8 in their last 10, while the Angels have gone 8-1 over their last 9-games. The Angels come off a 2-0 win at Boston on Thursday, and they've gone an extremely profitable 21-8 this season following a game in which they scored 2-runs or less.

The Angels starter Hector Santiago enters tonight in very good form over his last 5-starts by posting a 1.63 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in those outings. All 3 of the Angels hurler career starts versus Oakland have come since the start of the 2013 season, and he's been dominant in those appearances with an excellent 0.93 ERA. The A's starter Sonny Gray has been in poor form over his last 3-starts. He's gone 0-3 with a very lofty 6.48 ERA and 1.92 WHIP.

Game# 901-902
Play On: Over 7.5 (10*)

The Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick has seen 8 of his last 9-starts go over the total while having a large 7.20 ERA in the process. Since the starts of the 2013 season Kendrick has a lofty 5.00 ERA in 3-starts versus the Cardinals.

St. Louis has seen each of their last 5-games go over the total with an average of 10.4 runs scored per contest.

Houston (Peacock) @ Cleveland (Carrasco) 7:05 PM ET
Game# 915-916
Play On: Cleveland -1.5 (+105) (10*)

After a very rough stretch the Indians starter has began to regain his good form over his last 2-starts by posting a 0.00 ERA and stingy 0.42 WHIP. The Indians have been a strong home team in 2014 as evidenced by their 37-24 (.607) record at Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland.

The Astros starter Brad Peacock enters tonight in horrible form in his last 5-starts, going 0-5, with a mammoth 10.80 ERA, and 2.29 WHIP. In addition, Peacock is 0-3 in his last 3 on the road with a monster 13.85 ERA, and allowed 6 home runs in just 13.0 innings during those starts. Houston has gone a less than impressive 25-38 on the road this season.

Cleveland (Bauer) @ Minnesota (Gibson) 8:10 PM ET
Game# 967-968
Play On: Minnesota +103 (10*)

The Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson has gone 3-1 in his last 4 against the money while displaying very good form in doing so. Gibson has gone 6-1 versus division opponents, 8-3 as a money line underdog of +100 to +150, 10-3 when facing an American League opponent with an OBP of .320 or less, with all of those results coming against the money line, and all having taken place this season.

The Indians starter Trevor Bauer enters tonight in poor form over his last 4-starts by posting a lofty 5.87 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. The Indians have hit just .210 and averaged 2.7 runs per outing over their last 7-games. Despite their stellar record at home, the Tribe are just 25-37 (.403) on the road this season. As a matter of fact they've gone a miserable 22-53 (.293) on the road the past 3-seasons when facing an AL starter with a WHIP of 1.30 or less.

Any home team which is +125 to -125 on the money line that averages 4.5 or less runs per game, and their bullpen averages 3.2 or more innings pitched per game, versus an AL opponent with a starting pitcher who has an ERA of 4.20 to 4.70, has gone 58-31 (65.2%) during the past 18-seasons. Play on the Minnesota Twins as a 10* Top Play selection.

Atlanta (Santana) @ Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET
Game# 903-904
Play On: Pittsburgh -108 (10*)

The Braves have the unenviable task of playing on a Monday following a Sunday night ESPN national telecast appearance. That's been a kiss of death for the majority of teams this season who've had to endure that assignment. The last time Atlanta embarked on a road trip like they will be setting out to do tonight, they went a miserable 0-8 on that swing. . The Braves Ervin Santana has been in good form of late, but has gone just 4-7 against the money on the road this season.

This is a Pittsburgh team that's dropped 5 in a row, but returns to PNC Park tonight where they've been an excellent 39-24 (.619) this season, and that includes 19-6 in the last 25 at home. The Pirates starter Vance Worley has been a rejuvenated pitcher since being recalled from the minors, and is starting to resemble the good looking prospect that won 15-games in his rookie season with the Phillies. Worley has posted a stellar 2.32 ERA in 10-starts overall this year, and that's not good news for the Braves. Atlanta has gone 0-13 the last 2-seasons when facing a National League starting pitcher with an ERA of 2.70 or less.

Any home team that's -100 to -150 on the money line, following 2 straight games in which their bullpen blew a save, versus an opponent who saw their bullpen all no earned runs in their previous game, has gone 68-26 (72.3%) over the last 18-seasons. Play on the Pittsburgh Pirates as a 10* Top Play selection.

Oakland (Lester) @ Atlanta (Minor) 8:05 PM ET
Game# 979-980
Play On: Oakland -150 (10*)

This is a pitching mismatch this evening. The Oakland starter John Lester has been on fire in going 10-1 in his last 11 against the money with an excellent 1.46 ERA and better than 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Braves Mike Minor has been horrible over his last 5-starts posting a large 7.57 ERA and 1.94 WHIP.

The Braves will be looking for their 3rd straight win tonight, and they've accomplished that feat just once since July 18th. The A's have lost 4-games in a row for just the 2nd time this season, the first occurrence of such came in late May, and they haven't had a 5-game losing streak all season long.

Any American League team that's hitting .265 or less on the year, and they have a bullpen ERA of 3.75 or less, versus a National League opponent with a starting pitcher that has an ERA of 5.20 to 5.70 on the season, has gone 47-17 (73.4%) against the money over the last 18-seasons. Play on the Oakland A's as a 10* Top Play selection.

Yankees (Greene) @ Rays (Smyly) 7:10 PM ET
Game# 915-916
Play On: Under 7.0 (10*)

The Yankees starter Greene has seen 4 of his last 5-starts go under the total while posting a stellar 2.92 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. The Yankees have seen just 2 of their last 10-games go over the total. They've been anemic offensively over their last 5-games scoring a total of 7-runs, or 1.4 runs per game.

The Rays starter Smyly has seen 4 of his last 5-starts go under the total while posting a very good 2.93 ERA. The Rays have gone over the total in just 1 of their last 7-games. The Tampa pitching has been outstanding of late allowing a total of 10-runs over their last 7-games, or just 1.4 runs per game.

Today's home plate umpire will be Kerwin Danley, and that's significant from a handicapping perspective. Danley has seen 18 of his 22-games (81.9%) this seen go under the total when he's calling balls and strikes, in addition to 55 of 75 (73.3%) going under during the last 3-years when he's behind the dish.

Play on this game to go under as my "10* Top Play Total of the Week".

Brewers (Nelson) @ Dodgers (Grienke) 10:10 PM ET
Game#961-962
Play On: Milwaukee +160 (10*)

The Brewers have gone a remarkable 5-0 this season as a money line road underdog of +150 or more. The Milwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson has displayed very good form over his last 3-starts with a 3.15 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. His lone start (5/25) on the road came in his 2014 debut at Miami, when he tossed 5 2/3 of scoreless baseball during a 7-1 Brewers win. He was brilliant the Brewers AAA affiliate in Nashville this season, where he was 10-2 with an excellent 1.46 ERA, and a 0.92 WHIP.

The Dodgers starter Zack Greinke hasn’t fared well in 2 career starts versus the Brewers, going 0-2 against the money, with a large 8.10 ERA and 2.10 WHIP. Both of those outings took place since the start of the 2013 season. The Dodgers actually been much better on the road (40-26) than at home (30-27) in 2014.

Play on the Milwaukee Brewers as a 10* Top Play money line underdog.

St. Louis (Masterson) @ Miami (Eovaldi) 7:10 PM ET
Game# 955-956
Play On: Miami -121 (10*)

The Cardinals Justin Masterson has been pathetic in his last 5-starts as evidenced by a monster 12.18 ERA and 2.29 WHIP in those outings. In 11 starts on the road Masterson has posted a large 7.43 ERA and 1.93 WHIP. The change of scenery from Cleveland to St. Louis has done nothing to cure his recent ineptness. The Cardinals enter tonight having lost 4 of their last 5.

The Marlins enter tonight having won 4 of their last 5-games and are just 4.5 games out of the final wild card spot in the National League, and are also just 6.0 games behind the 1st place Washington Nationals in the NL East race. Somehow they've managed to do so despite losing their top two starting pitchers to injuries. The Marlins starter tonight is Nathan Eovaldi who's been extremely sharp in his last 2-starts. This is a Miami team which has hit far better at home this season than on the road.

Game# 905-906
Play On: San Francisco +118 (10*)

Let me start by saying I'm not crazy about this pitching matchup in regards to our selection, but this grades out to be an extremely high value pick.

The Giants have gone 4-0 against the Mets this season including last night's 5-2 win.

The Marlins enter this series having won 7 of the last 8, and 10 of their previous 12-games. They will be facing a Reds team that's lost 10 of their last 12-games. The Cincinnati offense has been anemic as evidenced by a mere 24 runs scored (2.0 rpg.) during their recent 12-game funk. Granted, they will send their ace Johnny Cueto to the mound tonight, and he certainly can cover up for a lot of offensive deficiencies. However, in Cueto's previous 4 starts on the road versus the Marlins he's posted an unimpressive 7.08 ERA, and mammoth 2.06 WHIP.  The Marlins starter Tom Koehler has pitched very well in 9-starts at home this season posting a stellar 2.75 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in those outings.

I know it's difficult to fade a team which has won 7-games in a row, and has a red-hot starting pitcher, but there's just too much value to pass on here. Despite their torrid run to comeback from seemingly being dead to being a contender again, the Rays still possess a losing record on the season.

Game# 909-910
Play On: Miami -132 (10*)

If I may borrow a horse racing term, then Jose Fernandez bounced in his previous start which came on the road.
