The Key: The Boston Red Sox have lost 4 in a row and are in jeopardy of missing the playoffs now.  Look for them to bounce back tonight with a blowout win over the Baltimore Orioles due to their edge on the rubber.  Nathan Eovaldi is 10-9 with a 3.83 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 31 starts this year.  Eovaldi is 3-1 with a 1.84 ERA in his last 5 starts against the Orioles, yielding only 6 earned runs in 29 1/3 innings.  Zac Lowther is 1-2 with an 8.68 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 5 starts this year for the Orioles.  He is 0-1 with a 15.90 ERA and 2.83 WHIP in 2 starts against the Red Sox this year, yielding 10 earned runs in 5 2/3 innings.  Take Boston on the Run Line.

6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-138)

The Key: The Los Angeles Dodgers are trying to keep pace with the San Francisco Giants in the NL West.  They should continue their dominance of the Arizona Diamondbacks as they have gone 15-2 in 17 matchups with them in 2021.  They have the edge on the rubber with Clayton Kershaw, who is 10-7 with a 3.27 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 20 starts this year.  Kershaw is 19-10 with a 2.82 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 39 lifetime starts against the Diamondbacks.  Zac Gallen is 2-10 with a 4.53 ERA in 21 starts this year for Arizona.  Gallen yielded 4 earned runs in 5 1/3 innings of a 5-1 loss to the Dodgers in his last start against them on September 13th.  Take Los Angeles on the Run Line.

7* Interleague Game of the Month on Boston Red Sox -1.5 (+110)

The Key: The Boston Red Sox have won 6 straight games all by 2 runs or more.  They have scored at least 6 runs in all 6 wins.  It should be more of the same tonight against the New York Mets, who are 1-6 in their last 7 games overall and quickly getting eliminated from postseason contention.  Chris Sale is 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA in 6 starts this year.  Taijuan Walker is 3-6 with a 5.18 ERA in 13 road starts this year.  Walker is 0-1 with a 7.63 ERA in his last 3 outings.  Take Boston on the Run Line.

6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-114)

The Key: The Atlanta Braves have a lot to play for down the stretch.  They lead the NL East by 2 games.  They can't be taking the Arizona Diamondbacks lightly and won't be.  The Braves have a big edge on the rubber tonight over the Diamondbacks.  Huascar Ynoa is 4-5 with a 3.30 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 14 starts this year for the Braves.  Humberto Mejia is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 2 starts for the Diamondbacks.  The Braves are 31-11 as road favorites of -125 or more over the last 2 years and winning by 1.8 RPG in this situation.  Atlanta is 21-6 in its last 27 games after losing 4 of its last 5 games, winning by 2.7 RPG in this situation.  The Braves are 10-1 in their last 11 road games with a total of 9 to 10.5.  The Diamondbacks are 25-79 in their last 104 games as an underdog.  The Diamondbacks are 0-5 in their last 5 home games.  The Braves are 5-1 in their last 6 matchups at Arizona.  Take Atlanta on the Run Line.

7* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on San Francisco Giants -1.5 (-135)

The Key: The San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 10-5 in Game 1 of this series Monday.  It should be a similar result today considering the edge the Giants have on the rubber over the Rockies.  Logan Webb is 8-3 with a 2.59 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 20 starts this year, and 1-0 with a 0.90 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in his last 3 outings.  Chi Chi Gonzalez is 2-5 with a 6.20 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 17 starts this year, and 0-0 with a 7.71 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in his last 3 outings.  Gonzalez has never beaten the Giants, going 0-2 with a 4.77 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 6 lifetime starts against them.  The Giants are 13-1 in Webb's last 14 starts.  Take San Francisco on the Run Line.

6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-120)

The Key: The St. Louis Cardinals blew a 5-1 lead in the 9th to the Brewers yesterday.  That's the type of loss that can crush their season.  I think they suffer a hangover here against the Dodgers, who have a big edge on the rubber today and should win this game by 2 runs or more.  Max Scherzer has been dominant since joining the Dodgers.  He is 5-0 with a 1.32 ERA in his last 7 starts, yielding just 6 earned runs in 41 innings.  Miles Mikolas is -0 with an 8.59 ERA in his last 2 starts for the Cardinals.  Scherzer is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in his last 2 starts against St. Louis, firing 13 shutout innings with 20 strikeouts.  Scherzer is 18-3 as a road favorite of -125 or more over the last 2 years with his teams winning by 3.4 RPG on average.  Take Los Angeles on the Run Line.

7* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on San Diego Padres -1.5 (-110)

The Key: It's now or never for the Padres, who are trying to make the postseason.  They can't afford to lose this game or this series to the lowly Arizona Diamondbacks.  Chris Paddack makes his return from the IL looking to pick up where he left off.  He is 4-2 with a 3.91 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 10 road starts this year.  Tyler Gilbert will be making his 4th start of the year for the Diamondbacks.  The Padres have already seen him once and should be prepared for him the 2nd time around.  Paddack sports a 3.38 ERA in 8 lifetime starts against the Diamondbacks.  Arizona is 29-75 in its last 104 games overall.  Take San Diego on the Run Line.

6* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Cincinnati Reds -1.5 (-109)

7* Interleague Game of the Month on Chicago White Sox -1.5 (-105)

The Key: The Chicago Cubs are 14-40 in their last 54 games overall and a dumpster fire of a team right now.  The Chicago White Sox just went into Wrigley in early August and swept the Cubs, winning all 3 games by 2 runs or more and outscoring the Cubs 21-9 for the series.  It should be more of the same in this series.  Dallas Keuchel is 2-1 with a 3.04 ERA in 4 lifetime starts against the Cubs.  Kuechel is 5-2 with a 4.10 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 12 home starts this year with the White Sox going 9-3 in those starts.  The White Sox are 7-1 in their last 8 Game 1's.  Take the White Sox on the Run Line.

7* MLB *MOUND MISMATCH* on Cincinnati Reds -1.5 (-110)

The Key: The Chicago Cubs are 2-17 in their last 19 games since trading away Bryant, Rizzo, Baez and Kimbrel.  They are 10-35 in their last 45 games overall.  They have lost 11 straight coming in with 9 losses by 2 runs or more.  This is a pretty easy choice tonight with the Cincinnati Reds having the edge on the rubber over the Cubs.  Wade Miley is 9-4 with a 3.00 ERA in 21 starts this year, including 6-2 with a 2.56 ERA in 10 home starts.  He should get plenty of run support considering the Reds have scored 32 runs in their last 5 games and should get after Justin Steele.  Miley's teams are 16-1 in his last 17 home starts against an NL team with a .315 OBP or worse in the 2nd half of the season.  His teams are winning by 3.0 RPG on average in this situation.  Take Cincinnati on the Run Line.

6* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Colorado Rockies -1.5 (+110)

The Key: The Chicago Cubs basically packed it in when they traded away 4 of their best players in Baez, Bryant, Rizzo and Kimbrel prior to the deadline.  They are now 1-6 in their last 7 games to fall to 9-24 in their last 33 games overall.  The Rockies beat them 13-6 yesterday and it should be a similar blowout today due to their edge on the rubber.  Jone Gray is 7-6 with a 3.71 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 19 starts for the Rockies, including 5-2 with a 3.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 10 home starts.  Alec Mills is 0-3 with a 4.09 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 5 road starts this year for the Cubs.  Colorado is 8-1 in home games after a win by 4 runs or more this year.  The Rockies are 34-20 in all home games this year.  The Cubs are 0-9 after a 5-game span with a 7.00 bullpen ERA or worse this season, losing by 3.4 RPG on average in this situation.  Take Colorado on the Run Line.

The Key: The St. Louis Cardinals are 1-9 in their last 10 games overall to fall below .500 at 32-33 on the season.  They have played a tough stretch of teams which is the big reason for their downfall.  But now they get to host the lowly Miami Marlins for a 3-game set for a chance to get right.  They will get right in Game 1 thanks to their edge on the rubber.  Braxton Garrett will be making his 2nd start of the season after yielding 2 runs and 8 base runners in 4 innings of a 3-4 home loss to Colorado on June 9.  Adam Wainwright sports a 2.62 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 8 home starts this year for the Cardinals.  Wainwright is 6-2 with a 3.21 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 11 lifetime starts against the Marlins.  Take St. Louis.

The Key: The Los Angeles Dodgers are 13-3 this year with 11 of those wins coming by 2 runs or more.

Los Angeles has a big edge on the rubber tonight with Dustin May over Justus Sheffield. May is 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA this year in 2 starts, while Sheffield is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in his 2 starts. Take Los Angeles on the Run Line.

6* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on San Diego Padres -1.5 (-133)

The Key: The San Diego Padres are 8-3 this season with all 8 victories coming by 2 runs or more.  So I like the price we are getting with them on the Run Line today against one of the worst teams in baseball in the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Blake Snell sports a 1.86 ERA in his 2 starts this year with 16 strikeouts in 9 2/3 innings.  Chad Kuhl sports a 6.43 ERA in his 2 starts this year with 5 earned runs and 8 walks yielded in 7 innings.  Kuhl sports a 4.60 ERA and 1.660 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts against the Padres.  Take San Diego on the Run Line.

6* Dodgers/Braves Game 5 *CA$H COW* on Los Angeles -1.5 (-140)

The Key: The Dodgers won’t go down without a fight.  They’ve come too far and too close to another World Series to give up after being down 3-1 in this series.  They’ll give the ball to Dustin May, who is 2-1 with a 2.83 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 11 starts this year.  He has been very solid in the postseason as well.  The Braves are likely to give the ball to Josh Tomlin, who is 1-2 with a 6.33 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 5 starts this year.  It really doesn’t matter if they start someone else, I’m still on the Dodgers on the Run Line here as the road team.  Take Los Angeles on the Run Line.

7* Dodgers/Braves Game 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Los Angeles -1.5 (-139)

7* NLCS Game of the Year on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-115)

The Key: The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t lost 3 in a row all season.  They aren’t about to start now.  They have a big edge on the rubber with Urias over Wright tonight and it will show as the Dodgers win this game by 2 runs or more.  The Dodgers are 47-19 in their last 66 games off a loss and a perfect 4-0 off 2 consecutive losses in 2020.  They win with room to spare in Game 3 tonight to get back into this series.  Take Los Angeles.

The Key: The Los Angeles Dodgers are the best team in baseball at 43-17 on the season.  They are scoring 5.8 RPG and giving up just 3.5 RPG this year, so they are outscoring opponents by 2.3 RPG on average.  And I’ll take them on the Run Line here Wednesday.  Walker Buehler is 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 8 starts this year and the Dodgers have gone 7-1 in those starts.  Buehler is 1-0 with a 1.31 ERA and 0.68 WHIP in 4 home starts.  He sports a 2.89 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts against the Brewers.  Take Los Angeles on the Run Line.

6* MLB Interleague *CA$H COW* on New York Yankees -1.5 (+101)

The Key: The New York Yankees have a lot at stake in their final game of the season.  They can improve their seeding with a win.  The Marlins don’t have much to play for and are just happy to have made the postseason, especially after going just 2-5 in their last 7 games overall.  The Yankees will hang a big number on Jose Urena, who is 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 21 starts this year.  That should allow them to cover the -1.5 run line even with rookie Clarke Schmidt on the mound.  The Yankees are 18-2 as a home favorite of -150 or more this season and winning by 4.3 RPG.  Take New York on the Run Line.

6* MLB Interleague *CA$H COW* on Chicago White Sox -1.5 (+128)

The Key: The Chicago White Sox are 13-0 against left-handed starters in 2020 and scoring 6.9 RPG.  They get to face lefty Jon Lester for a 2nd time this season.  The 1st on August 21st was a disaster for Lester.  He yielded 8 runs and 4 homers in 3 2/3 innings of a 10-1 win for the White Sox.  Dane Dunning is 2-0 with a 3.19 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 6 starts this year, including 1-0 with a 2.20 ERA and 0.74 WHIP in 3 home starts.  Take the White Sox on the Run Line.

7* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Minnesota Twins -1.5 (-126)

The Key: The Minnesota Twins have had just 2 losing streaks the entire season.  It just so happens that both are 4-game skids like the one they are currently on.  They won’t be losing a 5th straight today.  Kenta Maeda is the real deal at 4-0 with a 2.21 ERA and 0.71 WHIP in 6 starts this year.  Casey Mize clearly still has some work to do in his rookie season.  Mize is 0-1 with a 7.05 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in his 2 starts.  The Twins are 70-25 in their last 95 games against a starter with a WHIP of greater than 1.30.  The Tigers are 29-83 in their last 112 games as underdogs, including 16-58 in their last 74 games as home underdogs.  Take Minnesota on the Run Line.

6* American League *CA$H COW* on Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 (-115)

The Key: The Tampa Bay Rays have lost 4 in a row.  They’ll be hungry to avoid the sweep here against Baltimore and I expect them to win in a blowout.  Yonny Chirinos fired 4 innings without allowing a single earned run against the Braves in his last start.  Tom Milone yielded 4 runs in 3 innings against Boston in a 2-13 loss in his last start.  Milone is 2-3 with a 6.28 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 5 lifetime starts against Tampa Bay.  Chirinos sports a 4.15 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts against Baltimore.  The Orioles are 9-34 off a win by 2 runs or less over the last 3 years.  Take Tampa Bay on the Run Line.

7* Nationals/Astros Game 6 *HEAVY HITTER* on Washington +1.5 (-135) 

The Key: Stephen Strasburg is too good to allow the Astros to beat the Nationals by more than one run tonight, let alone beat him at all.  I think the price is right to pull the trigger on the Nationals on the Run Line here.  Strasburg is 5-2 with a 1.34 ERA in 8 postseason starts lifetime.  Justin Verlander is 0-3 with a 5.40 ERA in his last 4 playoff starts this season.  Take Washington. 

7* Astros/Nationals Game 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Washington +1.5 (-132) 

The Key: Stephen Strasburg is the biggest underdog he has ever been in his career tonight.  Only having to lay -132 on him on the +1.5 run line is a gift from the books.  Another game that’s expected to be a pitcher’s duel here and it’s likely this game is decided by one run either way.  Strasburg sports a 1.10 ERA in 7 lifetime postseason appearances with 6 starts.  Justin Verlander is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA in his last 3 starts.  He has yielded 10 runs and 5 homers in 17 1/3 innings during this stretch.  The Nationals are 90-35 in Strasburg’s last 125 starts and 44-15 in his last 59 road starts.  Take Washington on the Run Line. 

7* Nationals/Astros Game 1 *HEAVY HITTER* on Washington +1.5 (-115) 

The Key: The total for this game is only 6.5, so oddsmakers are expecting a pitcher’s duel.  And when that’s the case there is a good chance the game is decided by one run either way.  Getting Max Scherzer on the run line here as only a -115 favorite is a great price.  Scherzer has been dominant in the postseason, especially of late while yielding only one run and 5 hits in his last 15 innings pitched for a 0.60 ERA.  The Nationals have won 15 of Scherzer’s last 18 starts.  They have won 6 straight playoff games and couldn’t possibly come into the World Series with any more confidence after coming from behind to win the wild card game and Game 5 of the NLDS over the Dodgers before sweeping the Cardinals with ease.  Take Washington on the Run Line. 

6* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Oakland A’s -1.5 (-123) 

The Key: The A’s can move closer to clinching a wild card with a win over the Mariners on Friday.  The Mariners have lost 4 straight and have scored a combined 2 runs in those 4 games, an average of just 0.5 RPG.  Mike Fiers is 15-4 with a 3.86 ERA in 32 starts for the A’s this year and should shut down the Mariners. Justus Sheffield is 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA in 6 starts for the Mariners, and 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in 4 home starts this year.  Fiers is 14-0 against an AL team with an OBP of .320 or worse in the second half of the season over the last 2 years.  Fiers is 12-0 as a road favorite of -150 or more over the last 2 years.  The A’s are winning by 3.7 RPG in this situation.  Take Oakland on the Run Line. 

6* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-117) 

The Key: The Indians are now 1.5 games out of the wild card after losing yesterday.  Due to their advantage on the rubber in this one, they will bounce back in blowout fashion against the Chicago White Sox Thursday night.  Aaron Civale is 3-3 with a 1.82 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 9 starts this year.  Dylan Cease is 4-7 with a 5.67 ERA in 14 starts, and 2-4 with a 6.55 ERA in 7 home starts.  The Indians are 6-0 in their last 6 against a right-handed starter.  Cleveland is 40-11 in its last 51 against a team with a losing record.  Take Cleveland on the Run Line. 

6* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-160) 

The Key: The Dodgers have a huge advantage over the Rockies on the rubber tonight.  Ace Clayton Kershaw is 14-5 with a 3.10 ERA in 26 starts this year, and 9-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 15 home starts.  Kershaw is 22-8 with a 3.21 ERA in 41 lifetime starts against the Rockies.  Peter Lambert is 3-6 with a 6.98 ERA in 18 starts for Colorado, and 1-1 with a 9.25 ERA in his last 3 outings.  Lambert is 0-1 with an 11.11 ERA in 3 lifetime starts against the Dodgers.  The Rockies are 3-13 in Lambert’s last 16 starts, and 0-7 in his last 7 road starts.  The Dodgers are 92-32 in Kershaw’s last 124 starts, and 45-12 in his last 57 home starts.  Take Los Angeles on the Run Line. 

6* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-170) 

The Key: The Indians are 17-1 against the Tigers this season with 16 of those 17 wins coming by multiple runs.  Expect more of the same here thanks to their advantage on the rubber tonight.  Mike Clevinger is 11-3 with a 2.68 ERA in 18 starts this year, and 4-1 with a 1.98 ERA in 9 home starts.  Clevinger is 7-2 with a 1.88 ERA in 10 lifetime starts against the Tigers, and 3-0 with a 0.45 ERA in his last 3 starts against them with only one run yielded in 20 innings.  Daniel Norris is 0-1 with a 7.81 ERA in 2 road starts at Cleveland this year.  Norris is 2-5 with a. 4.65 ERA in 16 road starts this season.  Take Cleveland on the Run Line. 

7* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-150) 

The Key: The Cleveland Indians are now 16-1 against the Detroit Tigers this season.  They have won 15 straight over the Tigers with all 15 wins coming by at least 2 runs.  The Indians have a huge advantage on the rubber over the Tigers today.  Aaron Civale is 3-3 with a 1.93 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 8 starts this year, including 2-1 with a 1.06 ERA in 3 home starts.  Civale is 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA in 2 starts against the Tigers this year.  Spencer Turnbull is 3-15 with a 4.77 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 27 starts for the Tigers, including 0-2 with an 11.11 ERA in his last 3 outings.  Turnbull has never beaten the Indians, going 0-5 with a 6.48 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 5 lifetime starts against them.  Take Cleveland on the Run Line. 

6* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Chicago Cubs -1.5 (+115) 

The Key: The Chicago Cubs have reeled off 4 straight wins to pull within 2 games of the Cardinals for 1st place in the NL Central.  They just scored a total of 47 runs in their 3-game sweep of the Pirates over the weekend.  To say they are clicking right now offensively would be an understatement.  I’ll back them on the Run Line today at home against the Cincinnati Reds.  Cole Hamels is 3-1 with a 2.66 ERA in 12 home starts this year.  Hamels is 12-2 with a 2.06 ERA in 20 lifetime starts against the Reds, and his teams are 18-2 in those starts.  Kevin Gausman is 3-7 with a 6.19 ERA in 16 starts this year and 1-4 with a 6.82 ERA in 7 road starts.  Gausman is 0-1 with a 12.38 ERA in 2 lifetime starts against the Cubs.  Take Chicago on the Run Line. 

6* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (-130) 

The Key: Jack Flaherty is one of the best starters in baseball.  He is 9-7 with a 3.14 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 28 starts this season, including 2-1 with a 0.90 ERA and 0.60 WHIP in his last 3 starts.  But he has been dominant for months now.  Flaherty is 5-2 with a 0.90 ERA in his last 11 starts, yielding just 7 earned runs in 70 1/3 innings.  James Marvel will be making his major league debut for the Pirates today and it won’t go well for him against his hot Cardinals team.  Flaherty is 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in 6 lifetime starts against Pittsburgh.  The Cardinals are 36-17 in their last 53 games overall.  The Pirates are 8-18 in their last 26 home games.  Take St. Louis on the Run Line. 

7* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-136)

7* NL West Game of the Week on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-144) 

The Key: The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 21 runs in the first 2 games of this series with the Rockies while covering the Run Line both times.  Expect more of the same tonight thanks to their advantage on the mound once again in this contest.  Hyun-Jin Ryu is the favorite to win the Cy Young as he’s 12-5 with a 2.46 ERA in 25 starts, including 9-1 with a 1.54 ERA in 12 home starts.  Antonio Senzatela is 8-9 with a 6.95 ERA in 20 starts for the Rockies, including 0-3 with a 20.25 ERA in his last 3 starts while yielding 18 earned runs in 8 innings.  The Dodgers are 54-18 at home this season and winning by 2.1 RPG.  Ryu is 21-3 as a home favorite of -150 or more over the last 3 years with the Dodgers winning by 2.8 RPG.  Take Los Angeles on the Run Line. 

7* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-146) 

The Key: The Dodgers just hung 16 runs on the Rockies yesterday as Colorado had to throw a position player to the mound at the end of the game.  Now the Dodgers have another big advantage over the Rockies on the rubber tonight.  Julio Urias is 1-1 with a 3.55 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 6 starts this year, including 1-0 with a 1.54 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in his last 3 outings.  Chi Chi Gonzalez is 0-5 with a 7.57 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 8 starts this year, including 0-2 with an 11.45 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in his last 3 outings.  Colorado is 2-15 in road games off a loss by 4 runs or more while losing by 3.6 RPG.  The Dodgers are 53-18 at home this season.  Take Los Angeles on the Run Line.

7* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Washington Nationals -1.5 (-138) 

The Key: The Washington Nationals are the hottest team in baseball.  They’ve been playing well for months, but in particular of late as they are 15-3 in their last 18 games overall with 12 of those wins coming by 2 runs or more.  Expect more of the same today with Pat Corbin getting the ball.  Corbin is 6-2 with a 1.83 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 13 home starts this year.  Corbin is 3-1 with a 3.15 ERA in 9 lifetime starts against Miami, including 2-0 with a 0.78 ERA in 3 starts against the Marlins in 2019, yielding only 2 earned runs in 23 innings.  Caleb Smith is coming off 2 terrible starts in a row where he yielded 10 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings.  Smith is 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA in 2 lifetime starts against the Nationals.  Take Washington on the Run Line.

7* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-117) 

The Key: The Cleveland Indians are 3.5 games of the Twins in the AL Central.  They need to continue their dominance of the Tigers to close the gap.  They did just that yesterday with a 10-1 victory.  They are now 53-17 in the last 70 meetings, including 13-1 in 14 meetings with the Tigers this season.  This should be a blood bath considering the advantage the Indians have on the rubber.  Aaron Civale sports a 1.82 ERA in 5 starts this year.  Jordan Zimmerman sports an 8.18 ERA in 7 home stats.  Zimmerman has never beaten the Indians, going 0-6 with a 10.68 ERA in 8 lifetime starts against them.  Take Cleveland on the Run Line. 

7* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Houston Astros -1.5 (-125)

7* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Tampa Bay Rays -1.5 (-130) 

The Key: The Tampa Bay Rays have actually been a lot better on the road than at home this year.  They are 40-23 on the highway in 2019.  They should win by multiple runs tonight over the Baltimore Orioles thanks to their advantage on the rubber.  Ryan Yarbrough is 3-2 with a 2.76 ERA and 0.71 WHIP in 7 starts this year, and 3-0 with a 1.14 ERA and 0.51 WHIP in 3 road starts.  Asher Wojciechowski is 2-6 with a 4.84 ERA in 9 starts, and 0-2 with a 6.28 ERA in his last 3 outings.  He yielded 4 runs in 5 1/3 innings of a 3-6 loss to the Rays in his only lifetime start against them back on July 2nd.  Baltimore is 1-21 after allowing 3 runs or less in 2 straight games over the last 2 seasons.  It is losing by 4.0 RPG in this situation.  Take Tampa Bay on the Run Line. 

7* Interleague Game of the Week on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-170) 

The Key: Instead of laying -350 plus to back the Dodgers on the money line we’ll take them -170 on the run line and save nearly 200 points of juice.  They exploded for 16 runs on the Blue Jays yesterday and not face an opener in Wilmer Font who has a 5.61 ERA in 4 road starts this year.  Walker Buehler is 10-3 with a 3.31 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 23 starts this year for the Dodgers, and 5-0 with a 2.33 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 11 home starts.  The Blue Jays are 0-7 in their last 7 interleague games against a right-handed starter.  The Dodgers are 44-12 in their last 56 home games.  There’s better than a -170 chance of the Dodgers winning this game by 2 runs or more.  Take Los Angeles on the Run Line. 

7* National League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Chicago Cubs -1.5 (+100) 

The Key: The Chicago Cubs have a big advantage on the rubber tonight over the San Francisco Giants.  Cole Hamels is 6-4 with a 3.69 ERA in 20 starts this year, and 2-0 with a 2.35 ERA in 9 home starts.  Tyler Beede is 3-6 with a 5.74 ERA in 15 starts, including 3-3 with a 6.11 ERA in 9 road starts.  Beede faced the Cubs on July 24th and yielded 4 runs, 3 homers and 11 base runners in 5 2/3 innings of a 1-4 loss.  Beede is 0-4 with a 6.32 ERA in his last 6 starts overall having yielded 8 homers in 31 1/3 innings with opponents hitting .321 against him.  Chicago is 21-3 in home games after having lost 4 or 5 of their last 6 over the last 2 seasons and winning by 2.9 RPG.  The Giants are 0-5 in Beede’s last 5 starts.  The Cubs are 6-0 in Hamels’ last 6 home starts against a team with a winning record.  Take Chicago on the Run Line. 

7* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Houston Astros -1.5 (-120) 

The Key: The Houston Astros have lost 5 straight and are hungry for a win Sunday.  They don’t want to get swept by the Oakland A’s and want to salvage this series with a Game 4 victory.  They should do just that thanks to their advantage on the rubber.  Zack Greinke is 12-4 with a 3.08 ERA in 25 starts this year, including 7-3 with a 2.86 ERA in 14 road starts.  Greinke is 6-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 12 lifetime starts against the A’s.  Brett Anderson is 4-5 with a 4.65 ERA in 11 home starts this year.  Anderson is 1-4 with a 7.04 ERA in 5 lifetime starts against the Astros.  Anderson is 1-9 in home games against a team that outscores their opponent by one or more runs per game in his career.  His teams are losing by 3.6 RPG on average in this situation.  Take Houston on the Run Line. 

7* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Boston Red Sox -1.5 (-166)

7* Interleague Game of the Month on St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (-144)

7* American League *MOUND MISMATCH* on Houston Astros -1.5 (-155) 

The Key: The Astros have won 9 of their last 10 all by 2 runs or more.  They now face the Orioles, who were just swept by the Yankees and outscored 12-32 in the process.  Wade Miley has a 3.05 ERA on the season and a 1.89 ERA in his last 3 starts.  He is a much better starter than Dylan Bundy, who has a 5.15 ERA on the season and a 5.89 ERA at home.  Bundy is 1-18 against teams that score 4.9 RPG or more over the last 2 years.  Take Houston on the Run Line. 

7* AL East Game of the Month on New York Yankees -1.5 (-125) 

The Key: The New York Yankees are riding an 8-game winning streak after their 14-2 beat down of the Orioles Wednesday night.  They have hit at least 5 home runs in 3 straight games and are playing with all kinds of confidence.  Domingo German is 10-0 against teams that steal 0.5 or fewer bases per game this season.  The Yankees are winning by 4.9 RPG in this situation.  German is 9-0 against division opponents this season with the Yankees winning by 4.6 RPG.  German is 13-2 with a 4.06 ERA in 18 starts, while Thomas Pannone is 0-3 with a 9.28 ERA in 5 starts for the Blue Jays.  Take New York on the Run Line.
