15* INDIANS/TWINS MLB SHARP WINNER on Twins -138

20* ANGELS/RED SOX MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Red Sox -135

20* PIRATES/CARDINALS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cardinals -135

My money is on the Cardinals to cash in an easy win at home against the Pirates. St Louis is in an ideal bounce back spot playing their first game back at home after losing their last 5 on the road. Most recently getting swept in a 3-game series at the Dodgers. St Louis' offense was really bad in those 5 losses, but the good news here is they are 30-15 in their last 45 after hitting .225 or worse in their last 5 games. Cards are also 15-2 in their last 17 at home after scoring 4 runs or less in 4 straight games. Bet St Louis -135! 

15* YANKEES/BLUE JAYS MLB SHARP WINNER on Blue Jays +140

My money is on Toronto to cash in a nice little payout on the money line Friday night at home against the Yankees. Blue Jays' young players have really give them a spark offensively and I like them to put up a big number here against Yankees starter J.A. Happ, who has 7.60 ERA and 1.667 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Toronto starter Sean Reid-Foley is the exact opposite with a 1.88 ERA in his last 3 outings. Bet the Blue Jays +140! 

20* PHILLIES/GIANTS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Phillies -107

My money is on the Phillies to cash in a win at San Francisco tonight. Giants are in a free-fall after that incredible run back into contention, which looks to have cost them a shot at trading some of their top players for prospects. SF has lost 4 straight and 6 of 7 overall. The offense has been atrocious of late, scoring a whopping 6 runs in their last 4 games combined. Hard to see them getting back on track against the red-hot Aaron Nola, who has a 2.61 ERA and 0.968 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Bet the Phillies -107!

15* PHILLIES/DBACKS MLB SHARP WINNER on Diamondbacks -136

My money is on the Diamondbacks to cash in an easy win at home against the Phillies. Arizona is playing well with 3 wins in their last 4 games. They have scored an impressive 36 runs over their last 4 games and Philly starter Jason Vargas has a 5.03 ERA in 10 road starts this season. Zac Gallen will be making his first start for Arizona and he posted a strong 1.40 ERA and 0.879 WHIP in his final 3 starts with the Marlins. Bet the Diamondbacks -136! 

20* WHITE SOX/TIGERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on White Sox -106

My money is on the White Sox to cash in an easy win on the road against the Tigers. This is a no-brainer for me. While Chicago isn't a great team, they are a heck of a lot better than Detroit, who in my opinion is the worst team in the league. Tigers haven't won consecutive games in more than two months, so don't get excited about yesterdays' Game 2 win in their double-header. Chicago is heating up offensively and will be facing Tyler Alexander, who has  4.50 ERA in 4 starts. White Sox send out Ivan Nova, who has caught fire with a 0.90 ERA and 0.700 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Bet Chicago -106! 

20* BRAVES/TWINS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Braves +147

My money is on the Braves to cash in a win at Minnesota on Tuesday. I just feel the price is right to take a shot here with Atlanta. Braves will send out 2018 All-Star Mike Foltynewicz. I know 2019 hasn't been kind to Foltynewicz, but he's had 6 starts at Triple-A to get his confidence back where it needs to be. Twins will send out Jose Berrios and while he's been outstanding in 2019, Minnesota has lost each of his last 4 starts vs a team with a winning record. Atlanta makes that 5 in a row tonight. Bet the Braves +147! 

15* A'S/CUBS MLB SHARP WINNER on Cubs -135

My money is on the Cubs to cash in a win at home against the A's. Turns out all the Cubs needed to get back on track was to return to Wrigley Field. Chicago has won 4 straight and I look for them to make it 5 in a row on Tuesday. Cubs will have veteran ace Jon Lester on the mound and while he's struggled overall, he's been outstanding at Wrigley Field, going 6-2 with a 2.95 ERA in 11 home starts. Cubs have won 9 of those 11 starts. Bet Chicago -135! 

15* A'S/CUBS MLB SHARP WINNER on A's +140

My money is on the A's to cash in a win against the Cubs in Chicago. I just think this is a good price and spot to back Oakland. A's are playing well having won 6 of their last 7 and will send out a quality starter in Chris Bassitt. Also a bit of a letdown spot for the Cubs who just swept division rival Milwaukee in a huge 3-game series at home over the weekend. Bet the A's +140! 

25* BREWERS/PIRATES NL CENTRAL GAME OF THE MONTH on Brewers -127

My money is on the Brewers to cash in an easy win here at Pittsburgh. Milwaukee has to be a pissed off bunch after getting swept by the Cubs over the weekend and the Pirates are the perfect team to get back on track against. Pittsburgh has been on an absolute free-fall since the All-Star break, rivaling the likes of the Tigers, Marlins and Orioles for worst team in the league status. Milwaukee's offense is too good to be producing as poorly as they have and I could see them exploding in this one. Pirates are allowing 5.9 runs/game at home and 7.3 runs/game in their last 7. Bet the Brewers -127! 

15* TIGERS/RANGERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Tigers +155

My money is on Detroit to cash in a win and big payout as a big road dog against the Rangers. Texas has already won the series having taken the first two games and I could see them struggling to put forth their best effort in the finale, especially knowing that they are headed to Cleveland for a big series with the red-hot Indians on Monday. I also think it's worth fading Rangers starter Pedro Payano at this price. Payano made his big league debut as a starter on 7/28 and wasn't great. I think he struggles here. Bet the Tigers +155! 

20* WHITE SOX/PHILLIES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Phillies -152

My money is on the Phillies to cash in an easy win at home against the White Sox on Sunday. It's been a real struggle of late for Chicago, who has just 2 wins in their last 11 games. Phillies will have the red-hot Drew Smyly going. In his last two starts, Smyly has allowed a mere 1 runs on 8 hits with 13 strikeouts. White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez has an ugly 5.33 ERA and 1.463 WHIP in 10 road starts. Bet the Phillies -152!

20* GIANTS/ROCKIES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Giants +115

My money is on the Giants to cash in a win at Colorado on Saturday. Easy play here on San Francisco, as they send out ace Madison Bumgarner against the Rockies Jon Gray. Bumgarner has been dealing of late and comes in with a strong 3.13 ERA and 0.826 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Gray has a 4.15 ERA and an ugly 1.558 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Gray also owns a 5.08 ERA in 9 starts vs the Giants, while Bumgarner has a 3.15 ERA in 33 starts vs the Rockies. Bet San Francisco +115! 

15* TIGERS/RANGERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Tigers -104

My money is on Detroit to cash in a win at Texas on Saturday. The simple fact that the Tigers are favored should tell you all you need to know. Just yesterday the Rangers were more than a -200 favorite against the Tigers. It's all about starter Matt Boyd, who has been one of the few bright spots for Detroit and is coming off back-to-back really strong starts. In those 2 starts, Boyd has allowed just 3 runs on 8 hits with an impressive 18 strikeouts in 12.3 innings. Bet the Tigers -104! 

15* PADRES/DODGERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Padres +164

My money is on the Padres at this price. Classic case here of a big public team getting way too much respect when they got no business being this big of a favorite with a 21-year-old kid making his first ever start. You also have to factor in that Padres starter Eric Lauer is an impressive 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA and 1.011 WHIP in 5 career starts against the Dodgers. Bet the Padres +164! 

20* BREWERS/CUBS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cubs -138

My money is on the Cubs to cash in an easy win at home against the Brewers. This is all about today's starter Jose Quintana and his success against Milwaukee. Quintana has a 2.80 ERA and 0.981 WHIP in 14 career starts against the Brewers. Plus, Brewers starter Zach Davies is in really bad form, giving up 14 runs on 13 hits and 4 walks in his last 2 starts. Bet the Cubs -138! 

20* TWINS/MARLINS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Marlins +166

15* TWINS/MARLINS MLB SHARP WINNER on Marlins +171

My money is on the Marlins to cash in a surprising win at home against the Twins as a big underdog. Miami will send out All-Star starter Sandy Alcantara, who is fresh off a strong outing at home against the Diamondbacks, giving up just 2 runs on 5 hits in 6 innings of a Marlins victory. Twins starter Jose Berrios is worth a fade here, as he is just 4-17 against the money line in his last 21 road starts in the 2nd half of the season. Bet the Marlins +171! 

20* DODGERS/ROCKIES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Dodgers -129

My money is on the Dodgers to cash in a win at Colorado. I get that LA starter Hyun-Jin Ryu has struggled at Coors Field, but so has Rockies starter German Marquez, who has a 7.07 ERA and 1.700 WHIP in 11 home starts. This is also a new elite Ryu that we haven't seen before. He's 11-2 with a 1.74 ERA and 0.956 WHIP in 20 starts. Likely your 2019 Cy Young winner if he keeps it up. We also got an elite Dodgers offense that can score 10+ at Coors without breaking a sweat. Bet Los Angeles -129! 

20* CUBS/CARDINALS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cardinals +111

My money is on St Louis as a home dog against rival Cubs. I know that Yu Darvish has pitched better of late, but he's still not one to be trusted, especially against a team like the Cardinals, who he has a 5.40 ERA and 1.700 WHIP against in 2 starts (both this season). On the flip side, St Louis has Adam Wainwright going and he's 5-2 with a 2.33 ERA and 1.204 WHIP in 9 home starts. Bet the Cardinals +111! 

15* METS/WHITE SOX MLB SHARP WINNER on White Sox +143

My money is on the White Sox to cash in a win at home against the Mets. I think New York is riding high into this series having won 4 straight, but all those wins came at Citi Field. Mets are not a great road team and I really like what I have seen out of Chicago starter Reynaldo Lopez of late. In his last 3 starts he's allowed just 4 earned runs on 13 hits with 25 strikeouts in 21 innings, which accounts to a sizzling 1.71 ERA and 0.810 WHIP. Bet the White Sox +143! 

20* BLUE JAYS/ROYALS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Blue Jays +110

My money is on Toronto to cash in a win on the road against the Royals. Blue Jays' offense exploded over the final 2 games of their weekend series with the Rays, scoring 19 runs on 28 hits. I look for that offense to stay hot and carry Toronto to a win against the Royals. KC is an awful 6-20 in their last 26 games played on Monday and 9-24 in their last 33 games following a win. Bet Toronto +110! 

20* DODGERS/NATIONALS WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nationals +110

My money is on the Nationals to cash in a win at home against the Dodgers. Washington should not be a home dog here. Nationals will send out Stephen Strasburg, who has a 1.56 ERA in his last 3 starts and a strong 2.81 ERA in 10 starts vs the Dodgers. Bet Washington +110! 

15* RAYS/BLUE JAYS MLB SHARP WINNER on Blue Jays +141

My money is on the Blue Jays to cash in a win at home against the Rays on Sunday. Toronto has the mojo going for them, as they rallied late to win 10-9 in 12 innings on Saturday. Look for the Blue Jays to carry over that momentum here. Chirinos will start for Tampa and the Rays are just 1-8 in his last 9 starts vs a team that is averaging 1.25 or more homers/game. Bet Toronto +141!

15* INDIANS/ROYALS MLB SHARP WINNER on Indians -197

My money is on Cleveland to cash in an easy win over the Royals. No reason to overthink this one. Indians are the better team, playing the better ball with a hot starter that also has a great track record against the opponent. Indians have won 11 of 13 and starter Mike Clevinger has a 2.50 ERA in his last 3 starts and a 2.05 ERA in 10 career starts vs the Royals. Bet the Indians -197! 

20* BRAVES/PHILLIES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Braves -118

My money is on the Braves to cash in an easy win here. Atlanta won 9-2 over the Phillies on Friday and I give them a big edge on the mound with Max Fried going up against the struggling Zach Eflin. When the books make Atlanta a favorite in this price range you better take notice, as the Braves have won 30 of 46 when listed as a favorite of -150 or less. On the flip side, Phillies are a mere 7-20 in their last 27 as a dog of +150 or less. Bet the Braves -118! 

20* GIANTS/PADERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Giants +140

My money is on the Giants to stay hot and cash in a win over the Padres in Friday's series opener between these two NL West rival. San Fran has been one of the hottest teams in the league, as they have went from a bottom feeder to a contender in the blink of an eye. Giants just took 2 of 3 at home against the Cubs and are 10-2 in their last 12 overall. Padres are on the exact opposite path. San Diego is a lousy 6-14 in their last 20 games. Bet the Giants +140! 

15* CUBS/BREWERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Cubs -107

My money is on the Cubs to cash in a win at Milwaukee in the opener of Friday's huge series between these two NL Central rivals. Chicago has played really well from the break and were able to put an end to their 3-game skid (lost 2 of those by 1-run) with a 4-1 win at San Francisco. Cubs will have Kyle Hendricks on the mound and he's got a 3.18 ERA in his last 3 starts. Brewers will send out Gio Gonzalez and he has a 6.58 ERA in his last 3 starts. Bet the Cubs -107! 

20* CARDINALS/PIRATES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pirates -114

My money is on the Pirates to put a stop to the bleeding and end their 4-game losing streak with a win over St Louis on Thursday. Pittsburgh is gonna bring it to avoid getting swept at home in a 4-game series. I like them to score early, as Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas is 1-6 with a 7.04 ERA and 1.627 WHIP in 10 road starts this season. Pirates scored 8 last night, which was the third time in 5 games they scored 5 or more. Bet Pittsburgh -114! 

15* MARLINS/WHITE SOX MLB SHARP WINNER on White Sox -112

My money is on the White Sox to cash in an easy win over Miami on Wednesday. Marlins won yesterday's matchup, but that's almost even more reason to like Chicago. Miami hasn't won back-to-back games in almost a month (June 28-29). White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez comes in off 2 really good starts. He allowed 0 runs on 3 hits in 6 innings at Oakland and then gave up just 2 runs on 6 hits in 7 innings at Tampa. Miami's offense is awful. Bet the White Sox -112! 

20* REDS/BREWERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Brewers -142

My money is on Milwaukee to cash in a win at home against the Reds. We know the Brewers are going to be locked in for this one, as they can't be getting swept at home against a division rival like Cincinnati. The overall numbers don't look great for Milwaukee's Jhoulys Chacin, but he's got a strong 3.95 ERA in 8 home starts and has allowed 2 or fewer runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. Bet the Brewers -142! 

15* REDS/BREWERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Reds +129

My money is on the Reds to cash in a win against the Brewers. I like Cincinnati starter Tanner Roark and will definitely take him at this price against the likes of Zach Davies. Roark has owned teams like the Brewers, going 7-0 in his last 7 road starts vs a team that has a .430 team slugging or better. He's also a solid 12-5 in his last 17 starts on the road vs a team with a winning record. Bet the Reds +129! 

20* A'S/ASTROS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Astros -148

My money is on the Astros to cash in an easy win at home against the A's. Houston has caught fire. The Astros 11-1 win over Oakland on Monday was their 6th straight victory in a row. They have scored a ridiculous 43 runs in the 6-game win streak. A's starter Michael Fiers has a 5.57 ERA and 1.374 WHIP in 10 road starts. Wade Miely goes for Houston and he's got a 2.50 ERA and 0.944 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Bet the Astros -148! 

15* REDS/BREWERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Reds +115

My money is on Cincinnati to cash in a win at Milwaukee Monday night. This is more of a play on Reds starter Sonny Gray than anything. Gray has a sensational 1.29 ERA and 0.714 WHIP in his last 3 starts and is 2-0 with a 1.85 ERA in 4 starts against the Brewers. That includes 3 starts this season. Two of which he's held Milwaukee without a single run. All 3 resulted in Cincinnati wins. Bet the Reds +115! 

20* YANKEES/TWINS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Yankees -105

My money is on the Yankees to cash in a win on the road against the Twins. These two teams are headed in different directions. New York is adding to their lead in the AL East, while Minnesota is in full on panic mode after watching their 11.5-game lead in the AL Central evaporate down to a mere 3 games. Yankees will send out C.C. Sabathia and he's owned the Twins (22-9, 3.08 ERA). As for Minnesota starter, Martin Perez he's struggled big time against New York (2-2, 9.68 ERA). Bet the Yankees -105! 

15* A'S/TWINS MLB SHARP WINNER on A's +132

My money is on the A's to cash in a win at Minnesota on Sunday. Oakland just keeps winning and I'm shocked the books have them listed as this big of a dog here. A's are 8-1 in their last 9 and 21-6 in their last 27. They have won the last two in the series over the Twins and hard to not like their chances in this one. Oakland will send out Daniel Mengden, who is a perfect 3-0 with a 1.96 ERA in 3 road starts. Bet the A's +132! 

20* ROCKIES/YANKEES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Yankees -183

My money is on the Yankees to cash in an easy win at home against the Rockies. These two teams are just going in different directions. New York has won 5 in a row and are feeling more and more like the team to beat in 2019. Rockies have lost 6 straight and are a miserable 2-13 in their last 15 overall. Colorado will send out German Marquez who has a 11.66 ERA and 1.840 WHIP in his last 3 starts. New York counters with James Paxton who has a 2.50 ERA in his last 3 starts and a strong 3.22 ERA in 9 home starts this season. Bet the Yankees -183! 

20* NATIONALS/BRAVES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nationals +143

My money is on the Nationals to cash in a win here as a big road dog against the Braves. Atlanta snuck out a win on Friday, but I don't think that's going to slow down this Washington team. Nationals have been playing elite baseball for the last month plus and I just trust them to score more runs in a pretty even starting pitching matchup with ANibal Sanchez facing Mike Soroka. Bet Washington +143! 

15* PHILLIES/PIRATES MLB SHARP WINNER on Phillies +110

My money is on the Phillies to stay hot and cash in another win on Saturday. Phillies opened up the series with a 6-1 win on Friday and have now scored 13 runs on 25 hits in their last 2 games. I look for the offense to stay hot against the likes of Joe Musgrove and the Pirates staff. Pittsburgh has allowed 6 or more runs in 5 of their last 6 games. Bet the Phillies +110! 

20* BREWERS/DBACKS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Diamondbacks +120

My money is on the Diamondbacks to cash in a win at home as a dog agains the Brewers. Big bounce back spot for Arizona off an ugly 5-1 loss on Thursday. Cardinals had scored 28 runs in back-to-back wins prior to the defeat and I look for the offense to get back on track against Milwaukee's Jhoulys Chacin, who is 1-8 with a 6.38 ERA and 1.630 WHIP in 9 road starts. Bet the Diamondbacks +120! 

15* PADRES/CUBS MLB SHARP WINNER on Cubs -152

My money is on the Cubs to cash in another win after the All-Star break. Chicago is 5-1 since the short break. Its been the exact opposite for the Padres, who are 1-5 in their last 6. Hard to not like the Cubs here. Chicago will send out Jon Lester, who is 6-2 with a 2.62 ERA and 1.218 WHIP in 10 starts. Padres will send out Eric Lauer, who is 2-4 with a 5.75 ERA and 1.402 WHIP in 8 road starts. Bet the Cubs -152! 

15* A'S/TWINS MLB SHARP WINNER on Twins -137

My money is on the Twins to cash in a win at home against the A's. I know Oakland is playing well, but the value here is too good to pass up. Twins are a strong 28-17 at home this season and starter Kyle Gibson is 5-1 with a 3.77 ERA and 1.059 WHIP in 8 home starts. A's will turn to Fiers and while he's been great of late, he has a very poor 5.76 ERA and 1.345 WHIP in 9 road starts. Bet the Twins -137! 

20* CARDINALS/REDS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Reds -122

My money is on the Reds to cash in a win at home against the Cardinals. The books have made Cincinnati the favorite despite the fact that they have lost 3 straight and it would appear that St Louis has an edge on the mound. Clearly they are on to something. I agree. Tanner Roark has an ugly 6.48 ERA in his last 3 starts, but that is really from one bad outing at Coors Field against the Rockies. Prior to that bad start, he had given up just 8 earned runs in his previous 4 starts combined. Bet the Reds -122! 

15* BRAVES/BREWERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Brewers -103

My money is on Milwaukee to cash in a win at home against the Braves. Brewers are going to be coming into this one riding a wave of momentum after yesterday's much-needed 13-1 win over Atlanta. Brewers had lost their previous 2 and 5 of 6. They are going to be extremely motivated to keep the winning going and I look for another big day from the offense in this one. Dallas Keuchel has been great for Atlanta, but does have a mere 3.57 ERA and ugly 1.641 WHIP in 3 road starts. Bet the Brewers -103! 

20* METS/TWINS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Mets +159

My money is on the Mets to cash in another win at Minnesota on Wednesday and bring home a big profit as a big underdog. New York is playing really well out of the break and I just don't see the edge on the mound needed for the Twins to be this big of a home favorite. Minnesota will send out Martin Perez, who has really fallen off since a great start to the 2019 season. In his last 7 starts, he's allowed 4 or more runs in all but one outing. Jason Vargas for the Mets has allowed 3 or fewer in all but 3 of his 15 starts this season. Bet the Mets +159! 

20* WHITE SOX/ROYALS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Royals +120

My money is on the Royals to cash in a win at home against the reeling White Sox. Chicago has lost all 4 games since returning from the break and have scored a mere 7 runs in the process (no more than 2 in any game). Kansas City's Glenn Sparkman is a different guy at home than on the road. Sparkman has made 4 home starts and owns a 1.38 ERA and 0.885 WHIP. Bet the Royals +120! 

15* PADRES/MARLINS MLB SHARP WINNER on Marlins +113

My money is on the Marlins to cash in a win at home against the Padres. San Diego was just swept at home in a 3-game series by Atlanta. Marlins will have one of the more underrated starters in the league going here. Miami's Jordan Yamamoto is 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA and 0.931 WHIP in 5 starts. Bet the Marlins +113! 

20* TIGRES/INDIANS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Indians -177

My money is on the Indians to cash in an easy win in Monday's series opener against the Tigers. Cleveland was able to avoid getting swept by the Twins at home with a 4-3 win on Sunday. Having lost 2 of 3 to Minnesota, I look for Cleveland to come out sharp against the lowly Tigers. Detroit will have Daniel Norris on the mound and he's 1-4 with a 5.36 ERA in 9 road starts and 0-3 with a 7.41 ERA in his last 3 starts. Bet the Indians -177! 

15* DODGERS/PHILLIES MLB SHARP WINNER on Dodgers -160

My money is on the Dodgers to cash in an easy win on the road in Monday's series opener against the Phillies. LA will send out one of the best starters in the game in Clayton Kershaw. Philadelphia will turn to Zach Eflin, who has a 9.64 ERA in his last 3 starts. Last time out he gave up 7 runs in 3 innings at Atlanta. Eflin has faced the Dodgers 4 times as a starter and his team has lost all 4. He deserves the majority of the blame with a 9.18 ERA and 1.740 WHIP in those 4 outings. Bet the Dodgers -160! 

20* MARINERS/ANGELS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Angels -155

My money is on the Angeles to cash in another win at home against the Marines. LA is playing some inspired baseball right now and have outscored Seattle 22-2 in the first two games. Jose Suarez will go for the Angels and he pitched well in his lone start at home and should benefit facing the slumping Seattle offense. Mariners starter Yusei Kikuchi has faced the Angeles 3 times and has allowed 17 runs on 29 hits and 7 walks in a mere 11 2/3 innings. BET THE ANGELS -155! 

15* PIRATES/CUBS MLB SHARP WINNER on Cubs -153

My money is on the Cubs to cash in an easy win here at home and finish off their 3-game sweep of division rival Pittsburgh. Chicago is a team that I see really taking off in the second half. They have a big edge on the mound Sunday with Jose Quintana going up against Trevor Williams. Quintana has a 2.57 ERA in 7 starts vs the Pirates, while Williams has a 4.34 eRA and 1.527  WHIP in 7 starts vs the Cubs. BET CHICAGO -153! 

20* REDS/ROCKIES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Reds +118

My money is on the Reds to cash in a win at Colorado on Friday. Cincinnati's Tanner Roark has been a money making machine on the road this year. Reds are 6-3 in his 9 road starts and Roark has a sensational 2.89 ERA in those 9 road outings. He's also pitched well in his career against the Rockies. Colorado will have Kyle Freeland on the mound, who has completely lost his touch from last year. He's making his first start since getting sent to the minors in May. I don't expect it to go well. Bet the Reds +118! 

15* TIGERS/ROYALS MLB SHARP WINNER on Royals -102

My money is on KC to cash in a win at home over the Tigers. Detroit is getting some love here with Matt Boyd on the mound. While Boyd has strong overall numbers, he's been trending in the wrong direction. He has a 6.38 ERA in his last 3 starts. He also has a 6.39 ERA in 16 career starts against the Royals. Bet Kansas City -102! 

20* GIANTS/BREWERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Giants +175

My money is on the Giants to secure a win in Friday's series opener at Milwaukee. San Francisco is a team that went into the break playing their best baseball of the season. Brewers are going to be a contender, but were just 1-5 in their final 6 before the break and it would not surprise me if they struggle out of the gate in the return from the All-Star break. Bet the Giants +175! 

15* NATIONALS/PHILLIES MLB SHARP WINNER on Phillies +129

My money is on the Phillies to cash in a win at home against the Nationals. Washington is getting way too much respect on the road against their division rivals. Phillies are well accustomed to playing their division foes, as their last 22 have been against NL East teams. Philadelphia is 17-3 in their last 20 at home after 9 or more consecutive games vs division rivals. Bet the Phillies +129! 

20* ASTROS/RANGERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Astros -131

My money is on the Astros to cash in a win on the road at Texas in the first and only game of the day as we get back to regular action after the All-Star break. Houston has been a favorite in the price range of -100 to -150 28 times this season and have won 20 times. Winning in this spot by an average of 2 runs/game. Bet the Astros -131! 

15* CUBS/WHITE SOX MLB SHARP WINNER on White Sox +161

20* BREWERS/PIRATES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pirates +105

20* ROCKIES/DBACKS WISEGUY MLB TOP PLAY on Diamondbacks -106

15* RANGERS/TWINS MLB VEGAS SHARP PLAY on Rangers +148

20* CARDINALS/GIANTS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cardinals -110

My money is on the Cardinals to cash in a win at San Francisco Friday night. Just really like the value in this one. St Louis will send out Dakota Hudson, who has a strong 3.43 ERA in 16 starts. Giants will counter with Drew Pomeranz, who is 2-8 with a 6.25 ERA and 1.721 WHIP in 15 starts. Bet the Cardinals -110! 

15* ORIOLES/BLUE JAYS VEGAS SHARP WINNER on Blue Jays -118

My money is on the Blue Jays to cash in a win at home against the Orioles. Baltimore is one of the worst teams in the league. They are 14-30 on the road and today's starter, Dylan Bundy, has allowed 9 runs on 13 hits (4 HRs) and 4 walks in his last 2 starts. Toronto has won 4 of 6 and have scored 6 or more runs in 7 straight games. Bet the Blue Jays -118! 

20* ANGELS/RANGERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Angels +123

My money is on the Angels to cash in a win here at Texas. Angels are playing good baseball right now. They have won 6 of 9 and put up 15 runs on 20 hits in the first 2 games of this series vs the Rangers, both wins. Rangers have lost 4 straight and have scored just 10 runs on 19 hits in the defeats. Bet the Angels +123! 

15* BREWERS/REDS MLB SHARP WINNER on Brewers -120

My money is on Milwaukee to cash in a win at Cincinnati on the 4th of July. The fact that the Brewers are this big a favorite against the likes of Luis Castillo says it all. Brewers are due for an offensive explosion after getting shutout on Wednesday. Castillo is just 2.-3 with a 4.08 ERA in 7 starts vs the Brewers. Bet Milwaukee -120! 

15* TIGERS/WHIE SOX MLB SHARP WINNER on White Sox -130

My money is on the White Sox to cash in a win here in Game 1 of Wednesday's double-header with the Tigers. Chicago will be debuting one of their top prospects in starter Dylan Cease, who they got in a trade with the Cubs a couple years back. Couldn't ask for a better team to debut against. Detroit's offense is atrocious. They have scored exactly 1 run in 4 of their last 5 games. Bet the White Sox -130! 

20* TWINS/A'S MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on A's +112

My money is on the A's to cash in a win at home against the Twins. Oakland disappointed early on, but caught fire in the month of June and are right back in the thick of the AL Wild Card race and just 7 back of the Astros in the AL West. Twins are getting love here with Jake Odorizzi on the mound, but he's a guy you want to be fading on the road against good teams. Minnesota is just 3-9 in his last 12 on the road vs a team with a winning record. Bet the A's +112! 

20* CUBS/PIRATS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cubs -108

My money is on the Cubs to cash in an easy win here at Cincinnati. Chicago is going to be motivated to get this series started off with a win after losing their last series at Cincinnati. Cubs are in prime position to do just that, as they send out Adbert Alzolay against Trevor Williams. Alzolay has made 2 appearances (1 start) and has only allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in just over 8 innings of work. Williams has allowed 11 runs on 17 hits in 11 2/3 innings over his last 2 starts. Bet the Cubs -108! 

15* DODGERS/ROCKIES MLB SHARP WINNER on Dodgers -168

20* ROYALS/BLUE JAYS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Blue Jays -118

15* RANGERS/RAYS MLB SHARP WINNER on Rangers +165

My money is on the Rangers to cash in a win here as a huge dog. I just can't pass up Texas at this price. Rangers come in having won 6 straight after their 5-0 win on Friday against the Rays. Tampa Bay is also sending out a guy for his first big league start. I get it's top prospect Brendan McKay, but chances are he underperforms. No way he should be priced like this with how bad the Rays are playing. Bet the Rangers +165! 

20* YANKEES/RED SOX MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Yankees -137

My money is on the Yankees to cash in an easy win over rival Boston in London. This is just too good a price to pass up on New York with Masahiro Tanaka on the mound. Tanaka has a strong 3.21 ERA and 1.122 WHIP in 16 starts this season. He's red-hot with a 2.49 ERA and 0.877 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He's also got a red-hot offense behind him, which has played a huge role in the Yankees 11-1 run over their last 12. Bet New York -137! 

15* BRAVES/METS MLB SHARP WINNER on Braves +121

My money is on Atlanta here as a small road dog. Mets come in having lost 5 straight and just finished up a long road trip, which makes them an ideal team to fade. New York is a mere 1-8 in their last 9 off a road trip of 7 or more. Mets have lost 7 straight series openers and are 3-9 in deGrom's last 12 home starts vs a team with a winning record. Bet Atlanta +121! 

20* INDIANS/ORIOLES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Orioles +169

My money is on Baltimore to cash in a rare win here against the Indians. Price is right to back the Orioles, as they have ace John Means on the mound. Means is one of the best pitchers no one knows about because of how bad his team is. The guy comes in with a 2.86 ERA and 1.159 WHIP in 12 starts, which includes a 1.95 ERA and 1.054 WHIP at home. Bet the Orioles +169! 

20* DBACKS/GIANTS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Diamondbacks +102

My money is on the Diamondbacks to cash in a win here at San Francisco. Giants are just 3-6 in their last 9. SF is back to struggling to score runs, as they have just 9 in their last 4 games combined. That's why I'm not overly concerned with AZ sending out Alex Young for his first big league start. Also, Dbacks offense is cooking after scoring 8 runs for the second time in their last 3 games on Wednesday. Bet Arizona +102! 

20* NATIONALS/MARLINS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Marlins +144

My money is on the Marlins to cash in a win as a big home underdog against the Nationals. Miami is coming off a loss on Tuesday, but had won 4 straight prior to that defeat. They will send out Zac Gallen for his second career start and I'm betting on it going as well as his first one. Gallen debuted on the road against the Cardinals last week and allowed just 1 run on 5 hits in 5 innings. Bet the Marlins +144! 

15* DODGERS/DBACKS MLB SHARP WINNER on Dodgers -138

My money is on the Dodgers to cash in an easy win here at Arizona. Dodgers are sending out Tony Gonsolin for his first ever big league start. Usually this is a spot to fade, but LA is far from throwing this one. Gonsolin was their minor league pitcher of the year last season and has a 2.77 ERA in 26 innings this year. He'll be up against Taylor Clarke, who is 1-3 with a 7.42 ERA and 1.714 WHIP in 7 starts. Bet the Dodgers -138! 

20* RANGERS/TIGERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Rangers -128

My money is on the Rangers to cash in an easy win here as a road favorite against the Tigers. Detroit is one of the worst teams in the league and are a miserable 8-27 in their last 35 games. Texas has been playing well and come in having won 2 straight. Rangers will send out Jesse Chavez for the start and he's been oustanding out of the pen and serving as a "opener" Detroit counters with Jordan Zimmermann, who is 0-4 with a 6.03 ERA in 7 starts. Bet the Rangers -128! 

15* METS/PHILLIES MLB SHARP WINNER on Mets +135

My money is on the Mets to even up the series with a win over the Phillies on Tuesday. Philadelphia won the opener 13-7, but the Mets offense stayed hot and have now scored 25 runs in their last 4 games. That was also a rare offensive outburst for the Phillies, who had lost 7 straight prior to yesterday's victory. Bet the Mets +135! 

20* BRAVES/CUBS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cubs -121

My money is on the Cubs to cash in an easy win at home on Monday. Chicago will be kicking off a new series against Atlanta and should be motivated to close out their 10-game homestand in style, as they have gone just 3-3 over the first 6. Braves are playing well, but no way I'm passing up on backing Jon Lester in a big game at home. When they Cubs need him he always seems to deliver and he's enjoying a 2.76 ERA over 8 home starts this season. Bet Chicago -121! 

15* ROCKIES/DODGERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Dodgers -203

My money is on the Dodgers to cash in an easy win at home. LA is 33-9 at home and a big reason for that is how well their starters have done. One of those being today's starter Kenta Meada, who is 5-1 with a 1.95 ERA and 0.757 WHIP in 6 home starts. Bet the Dodgers -203!

20* ORIOLES/MARINERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Mariners -154

My money is on the Mariners to cash in a win here against the Orioles at home. Baltimore is definitely a team to fade on the road. Orioles are just 13-27 in their 40 road games so far this season. Baltimore will send out Gabriel Ynoa, who is 0-3 with a 5.68 ERA in 5 starts and has a ugly 7.15 ERA in 2 road starts. BET THE Mariners -154!

20* WHITE SOX/RANGERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on White Sox +180

15* ORIOLES/MARINERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Mariners -157

20* TIGERS/INDIANS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Tigers +174

My money is on the Tigers to cash in a win here as a big road dog against the Indians. I really like Detroit starter Matt Boyd. A lot more people would know about him if he wasn't on such a bad team. Boyd has a 3.35 ERA and 1.083 WHIP in 15 starts, while posting 112 strikeouts in 88 2/3 innings. Indians are just getting too much love here. Trevor Bauer threw a complete game shutout in his last start, which was also against Detroit. Hard to do that in back-to-back games against the same team on such a short notice. Bet the Tigers +174! 

15* ASTROS/YANKEES MLB SHARP WINNER on Astros +152

My money is on the Astros to cash in a win here on the road at New York. This is just too good a price to pass up on Houston. I know the Astros have lost 5 straight and the Yankees are rolling with all their sluggers returning to action. Still, it's been a struggle of late for NY starter James Paxton and Houston has a pretty good starter of their own going in Brad Peacock. Bet the Astros +152! 

20* RAYS/A'S MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Rays -107

My money is on the Rays as a small road favorite against the A's. I just think the price is too good to not back Tampa Bay with Charlie Morton on the mound. Morton is 8-1 with a 2.37 ERA and 1.030 WHIP in 15 starts. He's also 5-0 with a 1.59 ERA in 8 road starts (7-1 team record). Bet the Rays -107! 

15* ROCKIES/DBACKS MLB SHARP WINNER on Diamondbacks -159

My money is on the Diamondbacks to cash in an easy win here at home against the Rockies. Colorado has won the first two of the series and could have a hard time not looking ahead to their next series in LA against the Dodgers. As for Arizona, they are going to be extra motivated in this spot. Also have to like the Dbacks offense against Jeff Hochman, who has a 7.04 ERA and 1.467 WHIP in 6 starts. Bet Arizona -159! 

20* RED SOX/TWINS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Twins -113

My money is on the Twins to win another at home against the Red Sox. Minnesota pulled out a thrilling 4-3 win in 17 innings on Tuesday and that's one of those games where it gives the team that won a big boost and is devastating to the loser. Doesn't hurt that Twins starter Kyler Gibson is 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA in 5 home starts and Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez has a 5.23 ERA in 8 road starts. Bet the Twins -113! 

15* ANGELS/BLUE JAYS MLB SHARP WINNER on Angels -149

My money is on the Angels to cash in an easy win here on the road against the Blue Jays. Never a bad idea to look fade a bad team like Toronto, especially when they aren't playing well. Even more so when you are taking a red-hot team like the Angels against them LA is getting all their big bats healthy and will be ready to go to get back over .500 with a win. Bet the Angels -149! 

15* INDIANS/RANGERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Rangers +121

My money is on the Rangers to cash in an easy win at home against the Indians. No way should Texas be a dog in their home park with how well they have been playing. Texas won the series opener 7-2 yesterday and are in a great spot to get another win. Rangers will send out Adrian Sampson, who has a 3.30 ERA and 1.200 WHIP in 5 home starts. Texas is 4-1 in those 5 outings. Rangers are 13-4 last 17 at home after winning 3 of their previous 4. Bet Texas +121! 

20* ASTROS/REDS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Astros -161

My money is on the Astros to bounce back from yesterday's loss with an easy win. Cincinnati's win on Monday was more about who they had on the mound than anything, as Luis Castillo is one of the best starters in the game. Today they have Anthony Desclafani, who is 3-3 with a 4.43 ERA and 1.323 WHIP in 13 starts. Houston is the one with an ace on the mound, as they send out Justin Verlander, who is 9-2 with a 2.50 ERA and 0.735 WHIP in 15 starts. Bet the Astros -161! 

20* BREWERS/PADRES MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Padres -128

My money is on the Padres to cash in an easy win here at home against the Brewers. San Diego will have Joey Lucchesi on the mound and they have won 4 of his last 6 starts. Lucchesi is also 5-2 with a strong 3.11 ERA and 1.036 WHIP over 8 home starts. Brewers counter with Jhoulys Chacin, who is 1-6 with a 7.39 ERA and 1.674 WHIP in 7 road starts this season. Bet the Padres -128! 

15* ASTROS/REDS MLB SHARP WINNER on Reds -113

My money is on Cincinnati to secure an easy home win in Monday's series opener against the Astros. Reds will have ace Luis Castillo on the mound, who is 6-1 with a 2.31 ERA in 14 starts. Castillo will be facing a banged up Houston offense that was just shutout in Sunday's 12-run loss to the Blue Jays. Reds scored 11 runs on 14 hits Sunday and if we get just a little offense they should win here no problem. Bet Cincinnati -113! 

15* CUBS/DODGERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Cubs +160

My money is on the Cubs to cash in a win here as a big road dog at Los Angeles. Chicago snuck out a 2-1 win on Saturday and would love nothing more than to leave LA with a split and take the finale on Sunday Night Baseball. As good as Ryu has been, and he's been really good, Cubs have the offensive fire-power to get to him and Ryu has a mere 4.24 ERA and 1.706 WHIP in 3 career starts against Chicago. Bet the Cubs +160! 

20* RANGERS/REDS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Reds -166

My money is on the Reds to cash in a win at home. Cincinnati will have Sonny Gray on the mound and he's got a 3.24 ERA over his last 3 starts. Even more important is how he's performed against Texas. Gray is 8-3 with a 2.55 ERA in 13 starts vs the Rangers. Texas will have Ariel Jurado on the mound. He's 3-0 in his last 3 starts, but owns a 4.00 ERA and 1.389 WHIP during this stretch. Could also be a flat spot here for the Rangers, as this will conclude a 7-game road trip. Bet Reds -166! 

15* CUBS/DODGERS MLB SHARP WINNER on Cubs +185

My money is on the Cubs to bounce back and get a win on the road as a massive dog against the Dodgers. Chicago is simply too good a team to pass up at this price. I know it's tough to trust Cubs starter Yu Darvish, but he's been throwing it much better of late. Guy has a 1.039 WHIP in his last 3 starts and is off a start at Colorado where he didn't walk a batter. Bet Chicago +185!

20* ANGELS/RAYS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Angels +175

My money is on the Angels to cash in a win as a massive road dog against the Rays. Tampa Bay has lost 3 of 4, while LA has won 3 of 4. Angels are finally getting some offense from Ohtani and that gives them quite the 1-2 punch with Ohtani and Trout. Rays haven't been great in this spot, as they are just 2-9 in their last 11 home games when played during the day. Bet the Angels +175! 

20* CUBS/DODGERS MLB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on +125

My money is on the Cubs to cash in a win here as a road dog at LA. I get the Dodgers won the series opener on Thursday, but Chicago is the play today. Cubs will have Kyle Hendricks going and he's been pitching out of his mind since the beginning of May. Hendricks owns a 1.99 ERA in his last 8 starts. Bet the Cubs +125!
