5* AL GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET Detroit left-hander Tarik Skubal has blanked his opponent in two of three starts on the season, and the Tigers won all three games. The Texas Rangers are 1-3 against left-handed starters. 5* PLAY ON THE TIGERS. |

04-17-24 | Pirates v. Mets UNDER 8.5 | Top | 1-9 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
MIKE'S EARLY 4* MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Pittsburgh Pirates have been held to three runs or fewer in five of their last seven games. Today, they'll face Luis Severino, who has limited the Pirates to one run over 11 innings in two previous meetings. Severino gave up six runs (three earned) in his season debut but has since allowed just two runs over 10 innings. The Bucs hand the ball to left-hander Bailey Falter, who, like Severino, has recovered after a rocky first start. In his next two starts since his season opener, he has allowed only one run on five hits over 11 innings. 4* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |
|||||||
04-16-24 | Rockies v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show |
5* NL TOTAL OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Philadelphia Phillies opened this series with a 2-1 win, and I expect another low-scoring affair when they host the Colorado Rockies for Game 2 Tuesday night. Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (2-0, 2.65 ERA) is off to a great start, and the Rockies are batting only .223 against left-handers. Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber (0-0, 4.91 ERA) is also off to a solid start, with eight runs allowed on 16 hits with a respectable 14 Ks over 14 2/3 innings of work. The Rockies have averaged 3.7 R/9 over their last five games, and the Phillies have averaged 3.1 R/9 over their last five games. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |
|||||||
04-15-24 | Angels +1.5 v. Rays | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 39 m | Show |
5* AL RUNLINE OF THE WEEK MAX BET Tampa Bay right-hander Zach Eflin has allowed 6, 1 and 5 runs through his first three starts of the season. With such inconsistency, I don't think the Rays should be this big of a favorite with Eflin on the mound, and without a reliable bullpen to back him up. The Rays relievers have a combined ERA of 6.23, which is dead last across the major leagues. 5* PLAY ON THE ANGELS +1.5. |
|||||||
04-15-24 | Twins +1.5 v. Orioles | 4-7 | Loss | -152 | 16 h 25 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER Twins right-hander Louie Varland (0-2, 9.00 ERA) has had a rough start to the year, but so has Baltimore left-hander Cole Irvin (0-1, 8.10 ERA) as well. The Orioles are a better ream, but I think the Twins can keep this close. 3* PLAY ON THE TWINS. |
|||||||
04-15-24 | Guardians v. Red Sox -129 | 6-0 | Loss | -129 | 2 h 31 m | Show | |
MIKE'S EARLY GUARDIANS/RED SOX PATRIOT'S DAY BOOKIE BREAKER The early start for this traditional Patriots' Day morning game at Fenway Park sets up a difficult for the Cleveland Guardians. Sure, it's not a long trip from the Bronx, where they beat the Yankees yesterday, but nevertheless, they're on the road again while the Red Sox play their seventh straight game at home. Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford has allowed only seven hits and two runs (one earned) over 15 2/3 innings on the season. 3* PLAY ON THE RED SOX. |
|||||||
04-14-24 | Padres +1.5 v. Dodgers | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUNDAY NIGHT PADRES/DODGERS MLB BOOKIE BU$TER Padres right-hander Yu Darvish has a 2-2 record with an impressive ERA of 2.13 and 44 strikeouts in 7 starts versus the Dodgers since the start of the 2022 season. Dodgers left-hander James Paxton has allowed only two runs over 11 innings on the season but the Padres are averaging a healthy 5.3 R9 against left-handers for the season. The Padres are 4-2 against the runline as underdogs. 3* PLAY ON THE PADRES +1.5. |
|||||||
04-13-24 | Cardinals v. Diamondbacks +102 | 2-4 | Win | 102 | 19 h 58 m | Show | |
MIKE'S CARDINALS/DIAMONDBACKS MLB MONEYMAKER The Arizona Diamondbacks and the St. Louis Cardinals are heading into Sáturday with identical 6-7 records following a 9-6 Cardinals win in the opener of this series Friday night. I like the price we get on the D'Backs to bounce back here against St. Louis right-hander Kyle Gibson, who was tagged with seven runs in six innings of a 10-3 loss to Miami in his last start. Arizona right-hander Ryne Nelson has allowed eight runs through 7 2/3 innings in his first two starts of the season. The Diamondbacks are averaging 5.0 R/9 vs. right handers while the Cardinals are averaging only 3.6 R/9 vs. right-handers. 3* PLAY ON THE DIAMONDBACKS. |
|||||||
04-12-24 | Twins v. Tigers -122 | Top | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 18 h 8 m | Show |
5* AL CENTRAL GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET The Detroit Tigers hand the ball to left-hander Tarik Skubal for his second start of the season. Skubal tossed six scoreless innings against the Chicago White Sox in his season opener before giving up four runs in 6 1/3 innings against Oakland in his second start. The Tigers won both games, and I like the Tigers to pick up another win here against a Minnesota Twins team that is cold on the plate. It's also worth noting that Skubal has allowed just five hits over 12 scoreless innings in his last two matchups with the Twins. 5* PLAY ON THE TIGERS. |
|||||||
04-12-24 | Braves v. Marlins OVER 8.5 | Top | 8-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 33 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Neither Atlanta left-hander Max Fried (0-0, 18.00 ERA) nor Miami left-hander Trevor Rogers (0-1, 5.40 ERA) has had a good start to the year, and I expect to see a fair amount of runs scored when the Marlins host the Braves for the opener of a three-game series Friday night. The Braves bats are red hot, and Miami scored five runs in a win over the Yankees in the Bronx in their last game. 4* PLAY ON THE OVER. |
|||||||
04-10-24 | White Sox v. Guardians UNDER 8.5 | Top | 6-7 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 56 m | Show |
5* AL CENTRAL TOTAL OF THE MONTH MAX BET The Chicago White Sox are 7-3 to the under for the season, and that should come as no surprise as they're averaging a paltry 2.1 R/9. Tonight, they'll run into Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee (1-0, 3.86 ERA) while countering with right-hander Erick Fedde (0-0, 2.79 ERA). Both pitchers are off to a solid start to the season, and I expect regression at the plate from both sides after combining for 12 runs yesterday. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |
|||||||
04-10-24 | Nationals v. Giants -1.5 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 106 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Washington Nationals are coming off three straight wins as +137, +193 and +174 underdogs. There's no way they can keep the upsets coming like this, and tonight they'll face a San Francisco Giants team desperate for a win and looking to deny the Nats to sweep the three-game series. Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin has allowed eight runs over 10 1/3 innings in two starts on the season, while Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks has allowed just one earned run over his 12 innings on the mound. Additionally, note that Corbin has lost his past two starts against the Giants while allowing 15 hits and 10 runs over just 7 2/3 frames. 4* PLAY ON THE GIANTS -1.5. |
|||||||
04-09-24 | Rays -115 v. Angels | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 7 m | Show | |
MIKE'S RAYS/ANGELS MLB MONEYMAKER The Los Angeles Angels are 1-1 in Patrick Sandoval's two starts on the season. Sandoval limited Miami to two runs over 5 2/3 innings in his last start, but now he'll face a Tampa Bay Rays team that is averaging 5.5 R/9 against left-handers. Rays righty Aaron Civale has been excellent with just two runs allowed over 12 innings of work. 3* PLAY ON THE RAYS. |
|||||||
04-09-24 | Orioles -136 v. Red Sox | Top | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
MIKE'S EARLY 4* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Baltimore right-hander Corbin Burnes has not disappointed through his first two starts with the team. The Orioles won both games, with Burnes allowing just three runs on 10 hits with 14 Ks over 11 2/3 innings. The Boston Red Sox are also 2-0 in Brayan Bello's two starts, but he has allowed six runs over 10 innings. While it was enough to defeat Seattle and Oakland, I think Boston and Bello will take an L here. 4* PLAY ON THE ORIOLES. |
|||||||
04-08-24 | Rays -135 v. Angels | Top | 1-7 | Loss | -135 | 16 h 18 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Tampa Bay Rays roll into Los Angeles on the back of a pair of wins in Colorado. Tonight, they hand the ball to Zach Eflin, who limited Texas to one run on five hits over 6 1/3 innings in his last start. The Angels counter with left-hander Tyler Anderson who is coming off seven scoreless innings against Miami, but his career numbers against the Rays are ugly (nine runs allowed over 10 1/3 frames). The Rays are averaging 5.5 R/9 while batting .272 against left-handers on the season. 4* PLAY ON THE RAYS. |
|||||||
04-08-24 | Tigers v. Pirates UNDER 8.5 | 4-7 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 17 m | Show | |
MIKE'S TIGERS/PIRATES MLB TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER The Detroit Tigers have scored just one run through their last two games, and the Pittsburgh Pirates' bats have cooled off after a hot start to the year. Tigers right-hander Reese Olson tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his season debut, and this looks like a good bounce-back spot for Pittsburgh righty Mitch Keller to get his season back on track after getting slapped around in his first two starts. Keller has a 3.86 ERA in four career starts against the Tigers. 3* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |
|||||||
04-06-24 | Mets v. Reds OVER 9 | Top | 6-9 | Win | 100 | 15 h 12 m | Show |
5* NATIONAL LEAGUE TOTAL OF THE WEEK MAX BET I expect to see a fair amount of runs scored when the Cincinnati Reds host the New York Mets Saturday afternoon. Mets right-hander Luis Severino was slapped around for six runs (three earned) on 11 hits over five innings in his season debut. Mets right-hander Nick Martinez gave up three runs on six hits over five innings against the Washington Nationals in his first start of the season. The Reds have been swinging hot bats, and this looks like a good spot for the Mets bats to get going after a slow start to the season. 5* PLAY ON THE OVER. |
|||||||
04-05-24 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -154 | 3-0 | Loss | -154 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
MIKE'S EARLY MLB MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE The New York Yankees have started the season 6-1. I like the price we get on them tonight to pick up another win in their first game in the Bronx for the season. Yankees righty Marcus Stroman has made one career start against Toronto, in which he allowed only three hits over five scoreless innings. Toronto left-hander Yusei Kikuchi is 4-3 with a 3.57 ERA in 12 career outings (10 starts) against the Yankees, but note that the Bronx Bombers are averaging 5.3 runs per nine innings against left-handers this season. The Jays are batting only .175 on the season, and I don't think they'll be able to keep pace with the Bronx Bombers. 3* PLAY ON THE YANKEES. |

04-03-24 | Angels v. Marlins -114 | 10-2 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
MIKE'S ANGELS/MARLINS MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER The Miami Marlins are still winless following a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels Tuesday night. This is their worst start in franchise history, but I like the price we get on the Marlins tonight with A.J. Puk (0-1, 18.00 ERA) on the mound. Puk was knocked around by Pittsburgh in his season debut, but the left-hander is 2-1 with a 2.35 ERA in eight career appearances against the Angels. 3* PLAY ON THE MARLINS. |
|||||||
04-02-24 | Angels v. Marlins -140 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -140 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY I expect to see a hungry Miami Marlins come out fully focused as they're in desperate need of a win following an 0-5 start to the season. In his season debut, Marlins' right-hander Jesus Luzardo held Pittsburgh to two runs with eight strikeouts over five innings. Luzardo was 5-4 with an ERA of 2.99 in 19 home starts last season, and he has limited the Angels to two runs over 10 innings in previous meetings. Angels veteran left-hander Tyler Anderson will make his season debut today. Anderson typically struggles early in the season and owns a career ERA of 5.19 in Apri throughout his career 4* PLAY ON THE MARLINS. |

04-01-24 | Tigers v. Mets -130 | 5-0 | Loss | -130 | 13 h 41 m | Show | |
MIKE'S 3-GAME MLB HIGH ROLLER REPORT This looks like a good spot to fade the 3-0 Detroit Tigers while at the same time back the 0-3 New York Mets to pick up their first win of the season. Mets left-hander Sean Manaea is 3-2 with a 3.98 ERA in six career starts against the Tigers who were 16-22 against left-handers last season. The motivation should favor the winless Mets. 3* PLAY ON THE METS. |
|||||||
04-01-24 | Royals v. Orioles -143 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 11 m | Show | |
MIKE'S 3-GAME MLB HIGH ROLLER REPORT The Baltimore Orioles are coming off their first loss of the season. They were held to a disappointing three hits in a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday after scoring 24 runs through the series' first two games. I expect them to bounce back with a strong effort tonight against a Royals team with Michael Wacha on the mound. Wacha has a 5.19 ERA in 10 career starts against the Orioles. Also, note that while we get the Orioles in a bounce-back spot, the Royals are in a completely opposite spot as they're coming off an 11-0 win over the Twins after scoring just one run per game through two losses to open the season. 3* PLAY ON THE ORIOLES. |
|||||||
04-01-24 | Pirates v. Nationals -113 | 8-4 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
MIKE'S 3-GAME MLB HIGH ROLLER REPORT This looks like a good spot to fade the 3-0 Pittsburgh Pirates as they hand the ball to Marco Gonzales, who was 0-1 with an 8.64 ERA in five starts during spring training. The 1-2 Washington Nationals counter with MacKenzie Gore, who was 0-0 with a 5.87 ERA in four starts during spring training. It's hard to start the season 4-0, even for an elite team, and Pittsburgh is not an elite team ... 3* PLAY ON THE NATIONALS. |
|||||||
03-31-24 | Angels v. Orioles -150 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -150 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Last season, the Orioles were a solid 36-19 (+$17.9% ROI) against left-handed starters, and they won 11-3 when they faced Angels' left-handed starter Patrick Sandoval in the season opener. They've outscored the Angels 24-7 through the first two games of this series, and I think they'll win easily again here against Angels' lefty Reid Detmers. 4* PLAY ON THE ORIOLES. |
|||||||
03-29-24 | Giants v. Padres -140 | 8-3 | Loss | -140 | 17 h 41 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE The San Diego Padres opened the season with a 6-4 win, and I like them to get another win Friday night with Joe Musgrove on the mound. Musgrove went 10-3 with a 3.05 ERA last season and he is 4-3 with a 3.86 ERA in 13 career starts against the Giants. San Francisco left-hander Kyle Harrison went 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in seven starts in his rookie season last year. Harrison gave up six runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings during a 6-1 defeat in his first and only start against the Padres who were 23-14 as favorites and facing a left-handed starter. 3* PLAY ON THE PADRES. |
|||||||
03-28-24 | Giants +100 v. Padres | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER Logan Webb had a rough preseason, but I expect the Giants' ace to step up his game again in their regular-season opener. Webb is 3-2 with a 2.50 ERA in 10 career outings (nine starts) against the Padres whose starter Yu Darvish is 2-3 with a 6.23 ERA in 11 career starts against the Giants. Additionally, the early start is in our favor as Darvish has a 6-13 team record (-11.7 Units) against the money line in day games over the last 3 seasons. 3* PLAY ON THE GIANTS. |
|||||||
03-28-24 | Nationals +1.5 v. Reds | 2-8 | Loss | -151 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Cincinnati Reds are coming into the season aiming for a playoff run, but I don't think a win will come easy against a Washington Nationals team with Josiah Gray on the mound. Last season, the Nats went 18-10 against the runline as underdogs with Gray as the starter, and he has a 3.27 ERA in two career starts against the Reds. 3* PLAY ON THE NATIONALS +1.5. |
|||||||
03-28-24 | Blue Jays v. Rays -125 | Top | 8-2 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios is 3-4 with a 4.91 ERA in 10 career starts against the Rays while Tampa Bay righty Zach Eflin is 2-2 with a 5.64 ERA in five career appearances (four starts) against Toronto. Eflin is solid though and finished last season 16-8 with a 3.50 ERA, so if Toronto has any edge on the mound at all (doubtful), the Rays make up for it with a better team overall and a big bullpen edge. 4* PLAY ON THE RAYS. |

10-23-23 | Rangers v. Astros OVER 9 | Top | 11-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
5* BEST BET: MIKE'S ALCS TOTAL OF THE YEAR Game 7 of the ALCS, and with two elite pitchers and a ticket to the World Series on the line we should see a low-scoring game, right? I don't think so. Texas starter Max Scherzer gave up seven runs in three innings against Houston on September 6 and five runs in four innings of an 8-5 loss when he faced them last week. Houston starter Cristian Javier limited Texas to a pair of runs over 5 2/3 innings in that matchup, but both teams have proven they can score runs off the relievers, and the Rangers are coming off a nine-run outing. 5* PLAY ON OVER. |

10-21-23 | Phillies v. Diamondbacks UNDER 8 | Top | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 14 m | Show |
5* BEST BET: MIKE'S ALCS TOTAL OF THE YEAR These two pitchers faced off in the opener of the NLCS, a game Philadelphia won 5-3. Three of the first four games have gone over the total, but I like the under here in Game 5. The pitchers' home and away splits are in our favor, and Zack Wheeler has a 2.96 ERA in 11 career stats against Arizonw while Zac Gallen has a 2.22 ERA in five career starts against the Phillies. 5* PLAY ON UNDER. |

10-20-23 | Phillies -121 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -121 | 18 h 11 m | Show |
4* TOP PLAY: MIKE'S MLB GAME OF THE WEEK Arizona will be looking to tie the series following a 2-1 win in Game 3 on Thursday, but I like the Phillies to bounce back with a win here in Game 4. Arizona's 2022 All-Star Joe Mantiply will serve as the opener in a bullpen game while the Phillies hand the ball to left-hander Cristopher Sanchez (3-5, 3.44 ERA). Mantiply has a career 7.36 regular-season ERA in five relief outings against Philadelphia, and while the Diamondbacks bullpen has been solid in the playoffs, I much rather trust a team with a regular starter on the mound. 4* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES |

10-18-23 | Astros v. Rangers -124 | Top | 8-5 | Loss | -124 | 34 h 44 m | Show |
4* TOP PLAY: ASTROS/RANGERS MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Texas Rangers have taken control of the series after winning both of the first games in Houston. For Game 3, they'll hand the ball to Max Scherzer who was 5-2 with a 3.09 ERA in his 12 home starts on the season. Houston right-hander Cristian Javier was 6-3 with an ERA of 4.82 in 19 road starts. Houston won 13 of those 19 games, but Javier's ERA on the road is worrisome and can they really keep bailing him out? Texas is undefeated through seven playoff games, and that against Tampa Bay, Baltimore and Houston. The team is oozing with confidence and I expect them to take a 3-0 lead in the series. |

Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly was 8-3 with a 3.79 ERA and a 10-6 team record in 16 road starts on the season. Arizona is 15-14 SU as a road underdog of +125 to +175 in 2023. 3* PLAY ON ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS +1.5. |

MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER The Dodgers have their backs against the wall after dropping the first two games of the series home in L.A. With two pitchers with ERAs north of five, this comes down to who's the better team, and I still think the Dodgers are the better team by far, despite the recent losses. Also, note that Dodgers righty Lance Lynn has a 6-1 record to go with a 2.96 ERA in previous meetings with Arizona. During the regular season, Arizona was 4-11 as a home underdog of +125 to +175. 3* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS. |

5* BET BET - MIKE'S ALDS GAME OF THE YEAR The Astros are not quite the powerhouse we've gotten used to seeing in recent seasons and now they're in a tough spot after splitting the first two games of the series home in Houston. The Twins are 25-15 as a home favorite of -125 to -175 on the season and right-hander Sonny Gray (9-8, 2.67 ERA) has posted a minuscule ERA of 1.38 over his last seven starts. Gray held the Astros to four runs over 13 innings in two regular-season meetings. Minnesota won both games. As for Houston starter Cristian Javier (10-5, 4.50 ERA), he was a lot better at home than on the road where he posted a 5.07 ERA over 18 starts. Javier has a 4.41 ERA over his last seven starts. He did note face the Twins during the regular season. 5* PLAY ON MINNESOTA TWINS. |

Mike's MLB Moneyline MONEYMAKER The Phillies have a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the opener 3-0. This looks like a great spot to back Atlanta to bounce back with left-hander Max Fried on the mound. Fried (8-1, 2.55 ERA) has been one of the best starting pitchers in baseball and the Braves are 5-1 with Friend on the mound and off a loss. The Braves are 17-9 as a home favorite of -125 to -175. 3* play on Atlanta Braves. |

4* TOP PLAY - Mike's Blue Jays/Twins MLB Game of the Week We lost with the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the series, and I'm switching sides to back Minnesota to win and close out the series and move on to the ALDS. Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios (11-12, 3.65 ERA) struggled down the stretch, with a 4.53 ERA through his last seven starts and eight runs allowed over his last two starts. Minnesota right-hander Sonny Gray (8-8, 2.74 ERA) has posted an ERA of 1.54 over his last seven starts and allowed more than one run in only one of those outings. 4* play on the Twins. |

4* TOP PLAY - Mike's Blue Jays/Twins MLB Play of the Day I think the wrong team is favored here in this Tuesday night AL Wild Card matchup between Toronto and Minnesota. Minnesota right-hander Pablo Lopez (11-8, 3.71 ERA) struggled down the stretch. He has posted a 6.46 ERA over his last three starts and a 4.46 ERA over his last seven starts. Lopez gave up four runs in 5 2/3 innings when he faced Toronto back in May. Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman (12-9, 3.16 ERA) is coming off back-to-back scoreless outings (both against the Yankees) covering a total of 13 innings. Gausman has a 2.88 ERA over his last seven starts. The two teams have split six meetings this season, with both teams winning twice on the road. 4* play on Toronto Blue Jays. |

Kremer has not been at his sharpest lately, but the team has still won eight of his last 10 starts. Boston counters with left-hander Chris Sale (6-4, 4.42 ERA).

The Astros are in a dog fight with Texas and Seattle for the division title (or a wild card), and they have a big edge on the mound here with right-hander Justin Verlander (11-8, 3.39 ERA) vs. left-hander John Means who will make just his second start of the season.

I like Baltimore to bounce back from a disappointing extra-inning loss last night. Bet this TOP PLAY on the Orioles with 4% of your bankroll. |

Mike's MLB Moneyline Moneymaker This looks like a good spot to fade the Padres and Seth Lugo who is 0-1 with a 6.28 ERA in his last three starts. The team has won only one of his last five starts. Miami counters with Sandy Alcantara who is 2-1 with a 3.43 ERA in his last three starts. The Padres are only 6-13 at home when the money line is +125 to -125.

4* MLB Game of the Week TOP PLAY Toronto left-hander Yusei Kikuchi has posted an ERA of 1.29 in six starts since the All-Star break, but he is 4-5 with a 5.40 ERA in 11 games (eight starts) against the Orioles who have dominated left-handers all season long.

08-22-23 | Giants v. Phillies -143 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
Mike's MLB Moneyline Moneymaker The Giants are 3-7 in their last 10 games and they dropped the opener of this series 10-4 yesterday. Here the Giants hand the ball to left-hander Kyle Harrison on Tuesday for his first major league start, and I think he's in for a tough one against a Phillies team that has averaged 8.4 R/9 over its last five games. Bet on the Phillies with 3% of your bankroll. |

Mike's MLB Moneyline Moneymaker Texas left-hander Jordan Montgomery has been on fire since coming over from St. Louis, with 20 Ks and only five runs allowed over 18 innings of work. Arizona hands the ball to rookie right-hander Slade Cecconi for his fourth career outing (third start), and he will be put to the test by a dangerous Texas team looking to end a four-game slide.

08-21-23 | Giants v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | 4-10 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Mike's Giants/Phillies MLB Total BOOKIE BOMBER The Giants have averaged only 2.7 R/9 over their last 10 games and the over/under is 3-7 in those games. Here they'll face Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola who will be desperate for a good game after a rough stretch, and he must like his chances of a good outing against this San Francisco team. As for the Phillies bats, they can get hot at times but they've been held to three runs or fewer in four of their last seven games. Bet on the UNDER with 3% of your bankroll. |

4* TOP PLAY - Mike's MLB Runline BEST BET of the Day I like the Orioles to complete the sweep with another dominant win after winning the first two games 9-4 and 7-2. Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish has a 2.18 ERA in nine home starts (6-3 team record) this season. Oakland left-hander JP Sears has a 4.75 ERA in 10 home starts (2-8 team record). The Orioles are 28-14 against left-handed starters and won 5-1 when they faced Sears back in April. Bet this TOP PLAY on the Orioles -1.5 with 4% of your bankroll. |

Mike's MLB Moneyline Moneymaker This looks like a good spot to back the Cardinals to snap a four-game losing streak and deny the Mets to sweep the four-game series. Mets veteran righty Carlos Carrasco has had a tough year and is coming into this game 3-6 and with a 6.40 ERA over 18 starts. Carrasco gave up five runs when he faced the Cards back in July. Cardinals righty Dakota Hudson is 4-0 with a 4.03 ERA in 10 outings (four starts). The Cardinals won all his four starts. Bet on the Cardinals with 3% of your bankroll. |

08-20-23 | Mariners v. Astros -174 | 7-6 | Loss | -174 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
Mike's Super Early MLB Moneyline Massacre This looks like a good spot to back the Astros to win and deny the Mariners to sweep the series. Seattle rookie right-hander Emerson Hancock has posted an ERA of 5.40 through two big league starts and gave up five runs on nine hits over five innings against the Royals in his last start. The Astros counter with a rookie right-hander of their own in Hunter Brown, but unlike Hancock, Brown has already established himself in the rotation with 22 starts and 125 1/3 innings pitched. Bet on the Astros with 3% of your bankroll. |

The Royals are 13-33 SU and 18-28 against the RL as a road underdog of +150 or more. The Cubs are 9-1 SU in left-hander Justin Steele's last 10 starts.

The Brewers are averaging only 3.7 R/9 against left-handers on the season. The Rangers are capable of putting up a ton of runs but Milwaukee righty Brandon Woodruff has been solid in his two starts since coming off the 60-day IL with four runs allowed on eight hits over 11 1/3 innings of work.

Mike's MLB Runline Ripper The Nats are coming into this series on a 5-1 hot streak, but I think they're in for a tough one here against Philadelphia and Michael Lorenzen who tossed a no-hitter against the Nationals last week. Over his past six starts, Lorenzen is 5-1 with a 1.11 ERA. The Nats hand the ball to right-hander Joan Adon who is 1-0 with a 5.14 ERA on the season. He faced the Phillies twice last year and went 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA. Bet on the Phillies -1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |

The Red Sox are only 4-4 in James Paxton's eight road starts and Nats lefty MacKenzie Gore has posted a decent ERA of 3.91 in 10 home starts. The Nats are 12-8 against the runline in Gore's starts as an underdog this season. Bet on the Nationals +1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |
