Straily made one starts versus Milwaukee this year, allowing no earned runs on 3 hits in 7.0 innings pitched.

The Rockies have gone over the total in only 8 of their preceding 32 games (25%). Miami has seen 6 of its last 8 away games go under. Colorado has smashed 123 home runs in 109 games this year. However, 27 of those (22%) were by Trevor Story who was recently lost for the season due to a thumb injury.

The Tigers bats have been booming over its last 7 outing, evidenced by them averaging 6.9 runs scored per game in that that stretch, and a possessing an outstanding .862 OPS. Detroit is 11-4 versus National League opponents this year, and they’re also an extremely profitable 21-6 in 2016 as a money line favorite of -125 to -175 like they currently are. The Mets Logan Verrett is a dismal 1-7 in his last 8 team starts with a sizable .626 ERA. Take the Tigers for a 10* Top Play run line wager. |

White Sox (Sale) @ Tigers (Fulmer) 7:10 PM ET Play On: Tigers -129 (10*) I’m sure there are plenty of enticed baseball bettors thinking they’re getting a steal today with Chris Sale as an underdog. However, I’m not one of them. Detroit is winners of 7 straight games. During that time, they’re averaging 8.0 runs scored per game, and compiled a fantastic .901 team OPS. Detroit defeated the White Sox last night by a convincing 11-5 score. The Tigers are 17-3 this season following a game in which they scored 8 runs or more. Contrarily, the White Sox are a futile 0-7 in 2016 after giving up 8 runs or more during its last games. Michael Fulmer is a terrific 14-2 in his team starts this season with a 2.58 ERA, and that includes 4-0 at home with a very impressive 1.42 ERA. The White Sox have lost 5 of their preceding 6 games, and have a dismal .633 OPS over its last 7 outings. Take the Tigers for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

Brewers (Nelson) @ Padres (Cosart) 10:10 PM ET Play On: Milwaukee -117 (10*) Jimmy Nelson is coming off a terrible start at home against Arizona. Nevertheless, Nelson’s preceding starts saw him allow 2 earned runs or less on each occasion. The Brewers right-handed hurler has made three career starts against San Diego, compiled an excellent 1.83 ERA, and all of those outings took place since 2014. The Milwaukee bullpen has been superb over its last 7 games, evidenced by a combined 1.21 during that course of time. “The Brew Crew” is coming off a very successful 6-1 home stand, and had an outstanding .857 team OPS in that time period. Jarred Cosart makes his first start since being traded from Miami. Cosart is 0-3 in his three road team starts this year, and is 6.00 ERA and 1.87 WHIP were a huge contributing factor as to why. San Diego is a dismal 29-47 (.382) when facing right-handed starting pitchers. Their paltry .282 team OBP and .654 OPS in those aforementioned 76 games has led to that futility. Take the Brewers for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

Red Sox (Wright) @ Angles (Skaggs) 3:35 PM ET Play On: Angels -114 (10*) The Angels enter today having gone 8-1 over its last 9 home games. Tyler Skaggs will be making his second MLB start since 2014 as a result of enduring Tommy John surgery. His 2016 debut came last Tuesday at Kansas City and he was brilliant, allowing no earned runs on 3 hits while walking just 1 during a 13-0 Angels win. Skaggs was superb in his last two starts at AAA Salt Lake before being called up, allowing just 2 hits while striking out 26 in 12 2/3 innings pitched. Boston has hit a bit of a wall of late, going 1-5 during their last 6, and 2-7 in their previous 9 games. Steven Wright has made three starts versus the Angels since 2015, and compiled an unimpressive 6.61 ERA in those outings. Boston is also 4-7 during their past 11 road games, and is just 9-12 against left-handed starting pitchers this year. Take the Angels for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

Reds (DeScalafani) @ Padres (Friedrich) 8:40 PM ET Play On: Reds -115 (10*) Don’t look now but the Reds are 8-3 over their last 11 games. During the course of their last 7 games, Cincinnati has an impressive .800 OPA while averaging 6.4 runs scored per outing. Over that identical time period, the Reds much maligned bullpen has a cumulative2.35 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Anthony DeScalafani is 4-0 during his previous four starts with a stellar 1.20 WHIP. He’s also gone 7-2 in his 2016 team starts overall and compiled a more than respectable 3.09 ERA. The Reds hurler made 1 starts versus San Diego this year, and tossed 8.0 innings of scoreless baseball. You may be surprised to know that Cincinnati is 12-3 this year when there -100 to -150 on the money line. The Padres enter today losers of 8 of their last 11 games. Christian Friedrich has exhibited horrible form over his last 7 starts, proven by a 7.86 ERA and 1.75 WHIP over that course of time. Take the Reds for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

He’ll be facing a Giants team that’s hit a brick wall of late, and has gone a dismal 2-10 in their last 12 games. Jeff Samardzija has an awful 7.29 ERA during his last 6 starts, and allowed 9 home runs in just 33 1/3 innings pitched.

Diamondbacks (Bradley) @ Brewers (Nelson) 8:10 PM ET Play On: Milwaukee -135 (10*) I’m finding several decisive edges for Milwaukee pertaining to tonight’s game. The Brewers possess an .811 team OPS in their last seven games, and Arizona is at a poor .638 OPS over that exact period of time. Additionally, Milwaukee is averaging 2.6 runs scored per game more than Arizona during that aforementioned seven game span. The Brewers bullpen ERA is a very good 2.22 in its last seven games, and Arizona relievers are at a lofty 5.24 ERA through their previous seven. Milwaukee is a somewhat respectable 26-24 at home this year, and Arizona has gone 1-10 over their prior eleven road games. In fact, Arizona is a dismal 5-19 in their last 24 games overall. Milwaukee hurler Jimmy Nelson has an outstanding 1.85 ERA during his last five starts. Arizona’s Archie Bradley has exhibited poor form over his last four starts, and that’s evidenced by an uninspiring 1.61 WHIP in those outings. Take the Brewers for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

07-26-16 | Mariners v. Pirates -122 | Top | 7-4 | Loss | -122 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
Mariners (Hernandez) @ Pirates (Liriano) 7:05 PM ET Play On: Pittsburgh -122 (10*) The Pirates veteran southpaw Francisco Liriano has displayed very good form over his last 3 starts, evidenced by a stellar 3.06 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in those outings. Since 2015, Pittsburgh is 18-2 in the 2nd half of the season when Liriano is their starting pitcher. The Pirates didn’t play yesterday and that’s significant. They’ve gone an extremely profitable 11-2 this year following a day off. It seems strange to see Seattle as an underdog with Felix Hernandez on the mound. Nevertheless, that’s exactly the scenario for today and justifiably so. This will be his 2nd start since returning from the DL. During his start before and after that stint he’s posted a 7.81 ERA and 1.66 WHIP. Seattle has gone a poor 13-20 this season when facing a southpaw starting pitcher. Take the Pirates for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

Yankees (Pineda) @ Astros (Keuchel) 8:05 PM ET Play On: Astros -140 (10*) Since 2015, Michael Pineda has struggled badly in three starts against Houston, evidenced by a 6.75 ERA during those outings. Pineda has also collected a sizable 6.53 ERA during his last 4 starts on the road. The Yankees have been playing very good baseball of late, but their offensive doldrums continue to rear its ugly head. The Yankees possess an awful .306 OBP and .677 OPS over their last 7 games. Since 2015, Dallas Keuchel is 4-0 against the Yankees with a superb 0.62 ERA. Keuchel enters today’s game in very good form over his prior 3 starts, substantiated by a stellar 2.33 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through that course of time. Keuchel will be facing a New York team that possesses a gloomy .306 OBP this year. Since 2015, the Houston hurler is 14-1 in his team starts during the 2nd half of the season against AL teams with a .330 or worse OBP. The Astros are 31-19 (.620) at home in 2016, and that includes winning 8 of their last 10 games at Minute Maid Park. Take the Astros for a 10* money line Top Play wager. |

Padres (Rea) @ Blue Jays (Sanchez) 7:05 PM ET Play On: Blue Jays -1.5 (-130) (10*) Colin Rea has a lofty 5.11 ERA and 1.73 WHIP during 7 road starts this year. San Diego has gone a very respectable 16-12 (.571) against left-handed starting pitchers in 2016. However, they be facing a right-hander today (Aaron Sanchez), and the Padres are a dismal 27-44 (.380) in that role. At the time of this writing, San Diego is a +244 money line road underdog. Since 2014, the Padres are an atrocious 5-30 as a road money line underdog of +175 to +250. Aaron Sanchez has exhibited exceptional form over his last 4 starts, proven by a 1.93 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in those outings. Toronto has seen 19 of their last 20 wins come by 2 runs or more. · Sanchez has a 2.94 ERA in 19 starts this season · San Diego averages 4.4 runs scored per game this year · San Diego is coming off a 10-6 on Sunday over Washington Play against any National League run line road underdog of -190 to +165, averaging 4.3 to 4.8 runs scored per game, coming off a game in which there was a combined 15 runs or more scored, and is facing an American League starting pitcher with an ERA of 4.20 or better, resulted in those American League teams going 30-14 (68.2%) since 1997. Those AL teams had a massive +3.1 run per game differential during those 44 outings. Take the Blue Jays for a 10* run line Top Play wager. |

His last three starts were awful, evidenced by a monster 12.19 ERA and 2.61 WHIP during that period. Tampa Bay’s Blake Snell has displayed superb form over his last three starts with a 2.60 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. Snell also has an excellent 1.53 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in three starts on the road this year. The Rays have just a .301 team OBP in 2016. However, that feeds right into an extremely profitable MLB betting angle. Any American League money line road favorite of -110 or greater, possessing an OBP of .320 or less, and is facing a starting pitcher with an ERA of 7.00 or greater over his last three starts, resulted in those favorites going 82-32 (71.9%) since 2012.

Since 2014, Texas is an atrocious 20-47 (.299) during the month of July. Kansas City has struggled offensively at times in 2016. Nonetheless, that hasn’t been the case when facing southpaw starting pitchers. Over the course of 18 games in that role, Kansas City has a superb team OBP of .358, and an inspiring .823 OPS. Yordano Ventura will get the start today for Kansas City. The Royals right-hander has vastly underachieved so far in 2016. Nevertheless, he’ll be facing a Rangers team which possesses a poor .316 OBP heading into tonight’s game. Ventura is an extremely profitable 20-5 in his team starts since 2014, when facing an American League team with an OBP of .320 or less. Take Kansas City for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Teheran has a brilliant 2.79 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 6 career starts against Colorado since 2013. Atlanta enters today as the worst hitting team in baseball. They possess a miserable .237 batting average and miserable .650 OPS as a team. Jon Gray lone career start versus Atlanta took place just 5 days ago. Gray pitched 7.0 innings of scoreless baseball during a 1-0 defeat. Ironically, Gray’s pitching adversary on the day was a Julio Teheran who also failed to surrender an earned run in 7.0 innings.

Colon has made two starts against the Cubs since 2015, and had a superb 1.38 ERA. The Mets bullpen has been lights out over its prior seven games, evidenced by a 1.69 ERA and 0.88 WHIP as a staff. The Mets have gone 10-1 under the total in their last 11, and that includes staying below the number in 8 straight games.

Dodgers (Kazmir) @ Nationals (Lopez) 7:05 PM ET Play On: Dodgers -111 (10*) It seems awfully strange to see Washington as a home underdog. However, combing through the fact pertaining to this game, it became apparent to me as to why. Washing will send 22-year-old Reynaldo Lopez out to the mound today. Lopez will be making his MLB debut. The young right-hander spent this year at AA Harrisburg and AAA Syracuse where he made a combined 16 starts. He’ll be facing a Dodgers batting order that has an impressive .365 OBP and .808 OPS over its last 7 games. Conversely, Washing has just a .299 OBP and .676 OPS during their previous 7 outings. The Dodgers have a +0.6 run per game differential this season, and Washington has an imposing +1.6 run per game differential for the year. This sets up an extremely profitable MLB money line betting angle that is applicable to this game. Any money line favorite of -110 or more, possessing a +0.5 or greater run per game differential, and is facing a team with a +1.0 or more run per game differential, resulted in those favorites going 116-44 (72.5%) since 2012.

The Orioles hurler has also exhibited good form over his last 3 starts overall, verified by a 3.37 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in those appearances. Baltimore’s bullpen staff has been lights out over their last 7 games, posting a combined 0.81 ERA over that span. Ivan Nova has an awful 8.41 ERA in four starts against Baltimore since 2014. Nova has exhibited poor form over his last 5 starts overall, proven by a sizable 6.93 ERA in that time frame. The Yankees hurler has also allowed 14 home runs on 12 starts.

Rich Hill is the most underrated left-hander starter in baseball. Hill has a terrific 1.67 ERA and 0.96 WHIP during his last five starts. Toronto is nowhere near as explosive offensively against southpaws as opposed to right-handers, compiling an awful .304 OBP, and they’ve gone 19-5 (79.2%) under the total in those games.

It’s all about the starting pitching matchup for me tonight. The Mets Jacob DeGrom is 3-0 during this 2015 postseason with an excellent 1.80 ERA. As a matter of fact, DeGrom is 5-0 in his last five team starts with an even better 1.50 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. This isn’t anything new for the young Mets right-handed hurler. He’s 23-10 during his team starts in 2015 with a superb 2.47 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. You can make a strong case that Johnny Cueto has been a bit of a disappointment since coming over in a trade from the Reds. He certainly has been in his three starts during this postseason. Cueto has posted a large 7.81 ERA in those outings. His issues extend well beyond the postseason. Cueto is 4-8 in his team starts since 8/21 with an uninspiring 6.82 ERA and 1.66 WHIP.

I’ve really simplified my handicapping pertaining to this game. It all comes down to the starting pitchers and their recent history versus tonight’s opponents.

Despite his 6’10 frame, right-hander Chris Young has never been considered to be a power pitcher. He’s been an effective starting pitcher throughout his MLB career, but has always been vulnerable to giving up the longs ball. Case in point, in his seven starts this season during day games and he’s allowed 10 home runs in just 38 2/3 innings pitched. That doesn’t bode well for Young considering he’s facing the top home run hitting team in baseball today. R.A. Dickey has gone an outstanding 12-3 in his last 15 team starts. Dickey has compiled a brilliant 0.95 WHIP over his previous nine starts. He’s really displayed superb form in his last three starts evidenced by his 1.62 ERA and 0.66 WHIP in those outings. Dickey faced Kansas City once this season, allowing 0 earned runs on just 2 hits in 7.0 innings of work.

10-14-15 | Houston Astros v. Kansas City Royals -134 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
In games of this magnitude I often throw all statistical data out the window, and rely solely on my professional intuition. Here’s my strong feeling in that regard. Kansas City gained valuable experience in their deep 2014 postseason run which fell one win short of a World Championship. They’ve been very good at home this season and the Astros haven’t been a championship caliber team on the road. This is the first career postseason series for the majority of Astros players. My intuition tells me that Houston will be mentally fragile and tight heading into this deciding game of the series. After all, they had a 6-2 leading heading into the 8th inning of Game 4, and appeared destined to reach the ALCS. Their bullpen which has been very good all season long failed them, and Kansas City stormed back for a 9-6 win. This will be a monumental task for a young team to bounce back from, and especially on the road. Play on the Kansas City Royals as a 10* Top Play money line selection. |

Although it seems unfathomable, he’s been much better than that over his previous twelve starts, posting a microscopic 0.41 WHIP, and allowed 0 earned runs in nine of those twelve outings. By the way, the Cubs went a perfect 12-0 in those aforementioned games. Arrieta has faced Pittsburgh five times in 2015 and had a dominating 0.75 ERA and 0.64 WHIP in those outings. The Cubs ended the regular season on an eight game win streak. Pittsburgh slumped badly offensively during their last seven, averaging just 2.9 runs per game, and compiled a terrible .614 OPS.

Jungman made his lone start this year against Cincinnati in early July, and was certainly impressive in that outing. He allowed Cincinnati just 1 earned run on 4 hits while walking only 2 in 8.0 innings. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

08-22-15 | New York Mets v. Colorado Rockies UNDER 10.5 | Top | 14-9 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
Mets (Niese) @ Rockies (Rusin) 8:10 PM ET Jonathan Niese has been lights out in his last three starts on the road. The Mets southpaw posted a miniscule 0.40 ERA in those outings, and all three games went under the total. The Mets are coming off a 14-9 win on Friday, and they’ve gone 12-2 under the total since 2014 following a game in which they scored 10 runs or more. New York has gone over the total with a high degree of regularity in recent games. However, they’re facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Rusin) tonight, and they’re 17-9 under the total versus southpaw starters this season, averaging a paltry 3.0 runs per game, and possessing a poor .228 team batting average. Chris Rusin has been stellar in his last two starts, allowing only 1 earned run during 15.0 innings pitched, and one of those outings came at Citi Field versus the Mets. Rusin has held his own at hitter friendly Coors Field this season, compiling a very good 3.27 ERA in seven starts. Colorado has gone a pathetic 5-20 this year versus southpaw starting pitchers, averaging just 3.5 runs per game, and had a poor .672 team OPS. Considering both of these teams struggles against left-handed starters, and the pitchers for tonight’s game displaying some impressive form in recent outings, I like this to a be a low scoring contest. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

08-20-15 | Atlanta Braves v. Chicago Cubs -1.5 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
Braves (Folynewicz) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 8:05 PM ET Play On: Cubs -1.5 (-115) (10*) Atlanta has gone a miserable 2-20 during their previous 22 road games. They averaged just 2.4 runs per game during that futile away game stretch. The Braves have seen 13 of their previous 14 losses come by 2 runs or more. Mike Folynewicz has displayed poor form over his previous three starts, posting a sizable 7.71 ERA, 1.78 WHIP, and allowed 5 homers in just 16 1/3 innings pitched. Jake Arrieta is 3-0 in his previous three starts with a microscopic 0.84 ERA. The Cubs hurler has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 11 of his last 12 starts. Despite losing the first two games of this home stand to Detroit, the Cubs continue to produce plenty of offense, evidenced by them scoring 8 runs in each of those defeats. As a matter of fact, they’ve scored 5 runs or more 11 of their last 14 games. Any money line home favorite of -110 or more whose hitters strike out an average of 7 or more times per game, and three straight games with at least 5 hits less than their opponents, resulted in the home team going 36-6 since 1997. The home team also had a huge +2.5 runs per game differential during those 42 contests. Since 2011, this betting angle has gone a perfect 12-0. Play the Chicago Cubs on the run-line as a 10* Top Play selection. |

08-17-15 | Tampa Bay Rays v. Houston Astros UNDER 7.5 | Top | 9-2 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
Rays (Ramirez) @ Astros (Kazmir) 8:10 PM ET Play On: Under 7.5 (10*) Erasmo Ramirez has allowed 1 earned run or less in eight of his previous ten starts. He’s made one start versus Houston in 2015, and it was a solid performance. During that outing, he allowed 1 earned run on 4 hits in a 3-1 Rays win. Tampa Bay will be facing a Houston club that averages 1.36 home runs per game, and that’s the best in all of baseball. Tampa Bay has gone 20-6 under the total this season when facing an opponent that averages 1.25 or more home runs per game. Scott Kazmir is 6-1 under the total in his previous seven starts with a microscopic 0.79 ERA. That excellent stretch is no fluke for Houston’s southpaw hurler. Kazmir has a brilliant 2.12 ERA and 0.90 WHIP during twenty-two starts in 2015. The Astros have gone 8-3 under the total in their last eleven contests, and have averaged just 3.0 runs per game during that time frame. Houston has also gone 11-4-2 under the total against Tampa Bay since 2013. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

Dodgers (Wood) @ Pirates (Morton) 8:08 PM ET Play On: Pittsburgh +102 (10*) It what appears to be a pretty even starting pitching matchup, I just have to side with the home team in this spot. After all, the Pirates are a terrific 38-18 (.679) at PNC Park in Pittsburgh this year. The Pirates starter tonight Charlie Morton has gone 5-1 in his home team starts with a stellar 2.52 ERA and 1.14 WHIP this year. The Pirates will be facing southpaw Alex Wood tonight. Pittsburgh is hitting a more than respectable .280 versus during twenty games versus southpaw starting pitchers which far exceeds their overall season numbers. Wood has also gone an awful 1-10 in team starting after game 81 of the year during the past two seasons. This will be the finale of a five game home stand for the Pirates, and they’ve gone a remarkable 26-5 in 2015 following four or more consecutive home games. Play on the Pittsburgh Pirates as a 10* Top Play selection. |

08-05-15 | Minnesota Twins v. Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 | Top | 7-9 | Win | 116 | 4 h 18 m | Show |
Twins (Duffey) @ Blue Jays ( Hutchinson) 7:07 PM ET Play On: Toronto -1.5 (+116) (10*) Don’t be deceived by Drew Hutchinson’s terrible overall ERA in 2015. The majority of the damage inflicted upon the Toronto hurler has come on the road. He’s been quite the polar opposite at home. Hutchinson is 8-2 in his home team starts this year with a stellar 2.47 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. The Blue Jays enter today riding a three game winning streak and are also 6-1 in their last seven. They’ve held the Twins to exactly 1 run in each of the first two games of this series. That’s significant considering they’ve gone 18-5 since 2014 after allowing 3 runs or less in each of their previous two games, and possessed a large +2.6 run per game differential during those twenty-three contests. Toronto is a very good 34-21 (.618) at the Rogers Centre in 2015, and has a sizable +1.8 run per game differential. The Twins have been beyond anemic offensively during their previous five games. During that time, Minnesota has averaged a meager 1.4 runs and 3.2 hits per game. They’ve dropped three in a row in addition to going 2-8 in their last ten games, and seven of the eight defeats have come by 2 runs or more. They will be facing a starting pitcher (Hutchinson) today that averages just 1.67 walks per start this season. Minnesota is a dismal 3-17 this season when facing a pitcher that allows an average of less than 1.75 walks per start, and they have a horrible -2.5 run per game differential. Tyler Duffey will make his first ever MLB start tonight for Minnesota. He was a combined 6-8 with a 2.66 ERA at AA Chattanooga and AAA Rochester prior to being called up to the big leagues for the first time. 1. Toronto’s Drew Hutchinson has a 5.42 ERA in twenty-one starts this season. 2. Minnesota has gone 9-for-85 at the plate during their previous three games, and that equates to an abysmal .106 team batting average. 3. Minnesota is averaging 4.2 runs per game in 2015. Any home team with a starting pitcher that has an ERA of 4.70 to 5.70, versus an opponent that averages 4.2 or less runs per game, and that opponent has a .175 or less team batting average over their previous three games, resulted in the home team going 47-14 (77%) since 1997. In addition, the home team had a substantial +2.2 run per game differential in those sixty-one affairs. Play Toronto as a run-line favorite for a 10* Top Play selection. |

Braves (Wisler) @ Phillies (Nola) 7:05 PM ET Play On: Phillies -122 (10*) The Braves have been horrific for close to a month now. They’ve gone a dismal 1-8 in the last nine which includes losing five in a row heading into today, and are 4-15 in their previous nineteen games. All you have to do is look at Atlanta’s offensive production over this futile stretch to completely understand why they’ve struggled. Specifically in their last nine games they’ve been outscored 34-14 and possess a terrible team batting average of just .220. They’re come off a 9-3 loss at Philadelphia last night, and have gone 3-15 on the road since 2014 following a loss by 6 runs or more. This is a Phillies club which is on a completely different path. They were the laughing stock of baseball during the first half of the season. However, since returning from the all star break, Philadelphia has gone a terrific 11-2. The Phillies are average 5.6 runs per game and hitting a robust .304 as a team over their last seven. The best pitching prospect in the Phillies organization is Aaron Nola, and he will get the start this evening. In two starts this season Nola has been impressive with a 3.29 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Play on the Philadelphia Phillies as a 10* Top Play. |

07-28-15 | San Diego Padres v. New York Mets -132 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 10 m | Show |
Padres (Shields) @ Mets (Syndergaard) 7:10 PM ET Play On: Mets -132 (10*) James Shields has posted a very good 2.94 ERA in his last three starts. However, his large 1.70 WHIP in those outings sends up a red flag. Shields issued 11 walks in 15 1/3 innings during those three starts. In eleven starts on the road, Shields has been less than impressive with a 5.01 ERA. San Diego has averaged a miniscule 2.4 runs per game and has a terrible .220 team batting average during their previous seven contests. Although they’re coming off winning three of four versus Miami in their last series, they scored just a combined 9 runs in those games, and were beneficiaries of an anemic hitting Marlins club. The Mets youngster Noah Synergaard has been outstanding in his six starts at Citi Field. The Mets have gone 5-1 in those six games and much of that success has been due to the outstanding pitching by Syndergaard. He’s posted a sparkling 1.74 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and compiled a 7:1 strikeout to walk ratio in those six home appearances. Syndergaard enters today in great form over his previous five starts overall, posting a 1.59 ERA and 0.91 WHIP during those outings. The Mets have gone an outstanding 34-16 (.680) at Citi Field this year, and that includes an even better 29-12 (.707) when they’re facing a right-handed starting pitcher. They’re coming off a 3-2 extra inning home win over the Dodgers on Sunday. The Mets are a superb 25-6 at home this year following a win in their previous game. The major sportsbooks have been spot on when labeling them as a money line favorite of -110 or more. The Mets are an incredible 37-13 in that exact scenario and an even more impressive 30-7 if they’re playing at home. Money Line Betting System · The Padres starter James Shields has a 1.32 WHIP in 21 starts this year. · The Padres are averaging only 0.86 home runs per game on the season. · The Mets Noah Syndergaard is allowing just 0.46 home runs per start in 2015. · The MLB betting odds at BetOnline.com currently have San Diego as a +122 money line underdog. Play against any National League road underdog of +125 to +175 (Padres), averaging 0.9 or less home runs per game, and has a starting pitcher (Shields) with a WHIP of 1.25 to 1.35, versus a starting pitcher (Syndergaard) that allows 0.50 or less home runs per start. This system resulted in the home favorite going 137-48 (74.1%) since 1997. Play on the Mets as a 10* Top Play selection. |

07-27-15 | Detroit Tigers +122 v. Tampa Bay Rays | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
Tigers (Sanchez) @ Rays (Karns) 7:10 PM ET Play On: Tigers +122 (10*) Veteran right-hander Annibal Sanchez will get the start today for Detroit. Sanchez has gone a perfect 8-0 in his last eight team starts with a very respectable 3.16 ERA. The Tigers have provided Sanchez with plenty of run support during those eight starts, averaging a robust 7.3 runs per game. The Detroit hurler is 10-1 in his career team starts versus AL East opponents, and his teams have a decisive +3.3 run per game differential in those eleven contests. The Rays Nate Karns is 4-6 in his home team starts this season with a 4.09 ERA, and a less than impressive 1.46 WHIP. Unlike his pitching adversary today, Karns has received very little run support in recent starts. During his last five outings, the Rays have scored a combined 7 runs. This will be Karns’ first career start versus Detroit. After being one of the surprise teams in the American League during the early going of 2015, Tampa Bay has faded badly in recent weeks. As a matter of fact, they’ve gone 7-17 since 6/28, and that’s the worst record in baseball during that time frame. In that 24 game stretch, Tampa has just one player with 45 at bats or more hitting better than .235. John Jaso has been the lone exception by going 16-for-48 (.333). Unfortunately, Jaso has gone a horrible 1-for-14 (.071) in his career when facing Annibal Sanchez. Tampa Bay has scored 3 runs or less in eight of the last nine, and eleven of their previous thirteen games. They’ve also had 8 hits or less in twelve of their last thirteen. Play on the Tigers as a 10* Top Play selection. |

In his last four starts alone the veteran southpaw hurler has compiled an excellent 1.24 ERA. His adversary on the mound today will be Tijuan Walker. The Mariners right-hander has a huge 9.39 ERA in his last three starts and allowed 5 home runs in 15 1/3 innings pitched. That’s not good news for Seattle since they’ll be opposed by one of the best power hitting teams (Toronto) in baseball today. The Mariners are a dismal 7-17 at home this year when they’re +125 to -125 on the money line like they’ll be today. Play on Toronto as a 10* Top Play selection. |

White Sox (Samardzija) @ Indians (Bauer) 7:10 PM ET Play On: Under 7.5 (10*) Jeff Samardzija has displayed very good form during his previous three starts, posting a superb 1.90 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and all three games went under the total. Samardzija pitched 6.0 innings of scoreless baseball in his only start versus Cleveland in 2015. The White Sox enter today averaging a terrible 2.7 runs per game, and are hitting an awful .226 as a team during their last seven outings. They’ve also lost four in a row, and are 18-6 under the total this year following two or more losses in a row. Trevor Bauer’s ERA over his last four starts has been a bit deceiving. He’s actually pitched much better than his 4.62 ERA indicates. In those outings, Bauer has an outstanding 0.99 WHIP while compiling a better than 5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Unfortunately he’s been victimized by allowing 6 home runs in 25 1/3 innings pitched during that time. However, he’ll be facing a White Sox team that’s hit just 66 homers on the season which ranks amongst the worst in baseball. Bauer has made three starts versus the White Sox in 2015, and posted an excellent 1.33 ERA. This game has all the earmarks of a low scoring affair. As a matter of fact, all nine encounters between these clubs this season have gone under the total. Play on this game to go under the total as a 10* Top Play selection. |

In his one starts versus the Cardinals this season he was awful, allowing 8 earned runs on 11 hits while walking 2 in just 4 1/3 innings during a 9-0 loss. The Mets have been very good at home in 2015 but the polar opposite on the road. They’re a dismal 15-29 (.341) in away games. John Lackey has gone 5-1 in his last six team starts with an excellent 1.69 ERA. In his one starts versus the Mets this season, Lackey allowed 1 earned run on 3 hits and walked none in 7.0 innings.

All three of those games went under the total. The Mets have gone 5-1 under the total in their last six games.

The Royals will face the Astros ace southpaw Dallas Keuchel tonight.

Speaking of Keuchel, he’s posted an excellent 1.39 ERA in nine home starts, and that included a complete game 5-hit shutout versus the Yankees in his last outing. He also tied a career high by striking out 11 Yankees during that outing. The Astros have gone a very good 26-16 at Minute Maid Park this year.
