Julio Urias has pitched similar with a 2.84 ERA and is now priced at his highest of the season. Here, we play against National League teams with a team batting average of .275 or better on the season, with a slugging percentage of .480 or better over their last 10 games. This situation is 35-14 (71.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (959) Colorado Rockies | |||||||

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX for our MLB Central Game of the Month. The Indians are coming off a 2-0 win over Chicago as Shane Bieber tossed a shutout as he allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out 11. Cleveland is now 6-1 over its last seven games but is just 2-3 on the road. The Indians are 7-19 in their last 26 games as a road underdog. Chicago was picked to win the division and it has been a slow start as it has alternated wins and losses over its last six games. The White Sox are 4-0 in their last four games when their opponent allows two runs or less in their previous game. Here, we play against American League road underdogs with a team on base percentage .310 or worse on the season, after a combined score of two runs or less. This situation is 36-6 (85.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (928) Chicago White Sox | |||||||

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. Washington is coming off a 9-5 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday which was its fourth straight loss to fall to 1-4 on the season. The Nationals did score five runs after getting shut out in their previous two games and the Nationals are 7-3 in their last 10 games as an underdog. The Dodgers have won seven of their last eight games and sit atop the MLB West Division with a 7-2 record. We are getting great value with Max Scherzer who is elite despite allowing four home runs in his first start of the season against the Braves. Scherzer is 5-4 lifetime against the Dodgers in 14 appearances (12 starts) and has a 2.76 ERA. Here, we play against National League favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 averaging 5.5 or more rpg on the season, after scoring nine runs or more. This situation is 25-13 (65.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (959) Washington Nationals | |||||||

This is a play on the BALTIMORE ORIOLES for our A.L. East Game of the Month. After opening the season 0-3, Boston has won four straight games including a 7-3 win over the Orioles on Friday. In what was largely a tightly contested game, the Red Sox were able to string together a couple of two-run innings in the sixth and seventh to put away the Orioles. Baltimore is also 4-3 as it has lost three of its last four games with the offense producing just nine runs over this stretch. Bruce Zimmerman produced a quality outing in his first start against Boston as he allowed just four hits and three runs in six innings. Garrett Richards struggled in his Boston debut as he allowed six runs in just two innings against the Orioles. Here, we play on home teams averaging 3.6 or fewer rpg going up against a team with a bullpen ERA of 3.75 or better, after three straight games where they stranded five or less runners on base. This situation is 27-10 (73 percent) since 1997. 10* (928) Baltimore Orioles | |||||||

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our N.L. East Game of the Month. After a 0-4 start, the Braves have won their last two games to get out of their slump. Braves are 7-2 in their last nine games after allowing two runs or less in their previous game. Philadelphia is off to a 5-1 start as the pitching has been outstanding, allowing three runs or less in those five wins, allowing an average of 1.6 rpg in those victories. The Phillies are 0-5 in their last five games when their opponent allows two runs or less in their previous game. Here, we play on National League home teams averaging 4.0 or fewer rpg on the season, after a combined score of two runs or less.

04-08-21 | Angels v. Blue Jays -113 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. Toronto heads home, well to their spring training facility in Florida, following a six-game roadtrip where it went 3-3 including a pair of losses in the last to games against the Rangers. Pitching has been solid for the most part with the exception of one game and for the season, the Blue Jays have a 3.12 ERA which is seventh best in baseball. This includes a 1.96 ERA out of the bullpen which is third best in the league. Los Angeles is off to a 4-2 start on its season opening homestand but now hits the road for the first time. The Angels went 10-19 away from home in 2020 and Los Angeles hit .248 as a team. Going back, the Angels are 7-26 in their last 33 road games with the total set at 9.0-10.5 while the Blue Jays are 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter. 10* (916) Toronto Blue Jays | |||||||

This is a play on the OAKLAND ATHLETICS for our A.L. West Game of the Month. Oakland and Atlanta are the two remaining teams that have yet to record a win this season and we feel the Athletics are going to end their opening homestand with a win before hitting the road. They were expected to contend in the American League West but a 0-6 start has already put them in a hole. Pitching has been a disaster as they have allowed 8.3 rpg which is worst in baseball and while facing the Dodgers again is not a good thing, a turn around is possible here at a good price. Trevor Bauer will take the mound with just a 1-4 career record and 3.72 ERA in eight career starts against Oakland. He is winless in five career starts at Oakland. He struggled in his first start this season, allowing four runs in 6.1 innings against Colorado. Jesus Luzardo will look to improve upon his season-opening effort against the Astros when he faces the Dodgers for just the second time in his career. 10* (978) Oakland Athletics | |||||||

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BREWERS for our MLB Central Game of the Month. Milwaukee lost its third straight game following a 5-3 loss against the Cubs on Monday to open this series. The Brewers were picked as a consensus favorite to win the National League Central although the Cardinals, Cubs and Reds were all in the wide open picture in the preseason odds. The Brewers collected only four hits, giving them a measly 10 over the three losses, including two to the Twins at home. Their three runs came on one swing, a home run by Omar Narvaez. Now is the time for the offense to open up against Adbert Alzolay who has been solid yet inconsistent with his command. The Cubs have won three straight games with an up and down offense. Freddy Peralta has come along with a quality slider and an improving changeup to win the fifth spot in the rotation and those two pitches are making him a potential breakout pitcher this season. 10* (909) Milwaukee Brewers | |||||||

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX for our MLB Monday Sweet Spot. Chicago opened the season with a 3-1 series loss against the Angels and it looks for a bounce back against Seattle on Monday. The White Sox are coming off a tough loss Sunday as they tied the game in the top of the ninth but lost on a three-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the inning. Carlos Rodon has made just 11 appearances over the past two seasons, in large part because of Tommy John surgery in May 2019 on his left elbow. He re-signed with the team and he earned a spot in the rotation by posting a 1.32 ERA in four spring training appearances. In 13.2 innings, he allowed two runs on nine hits with one walk and 16 strikeouts. Seattle has opened the season 2-1 and had Sunday off following the series win over San Francisco. Justus Sheffield (counters for the Mariners and while he was decent last season, his lone previous start against the White Sox in 2019 was not a good one, as he allowed six runs on seven hits in 4.1 innings. 10* (975) Chicago White Sox | |||||||

This is a play on the OAKLAND ATHLETICS for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. Oakland is coming off another loss against the Astros and it is now 0-3 to start a season for the first time since the 1996 season. They have scored a total of seven runs through the first three games and allowed 26. The Houston offense has been on fire as it has scored at least eight runs in all three games but that will certainly not hold up in the short-term. Between that and the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season, Sean Manaea has pitched just 83.2 innings in the last two years, a total he wants to more than double in 2021 alone. He went 3-1 in the spring over 15.1 innings while not allowing a home run. Jose Urquidy had a solid start in his last start in the spring but he struggled for the most part with a 4.15 ERA over 14 innings. 10* (922) Oakland Athletics | |||||||
04-03-21 | Twins +120 v. Brewers | Top | 2-0 | Win | 120 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. The Twins lost the season opener as they blew a 5-2 lead going into the ninth inning by allowing three runs and eventually losing in extra innings. Jose Berios gets the ball for the Twins and after a subpar 2020 season, looks to bounce back. After two All-Star seasons in 2018 and 2019, he averaged 94.5 mph on his fastball in 2020 and 93.1 in 2019, he hit the radar gun at 97 several times in spring training games. He is 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA in two career starts against the Brewers. The Brewers counter with Corbin Burnes, who went 4-1 with a 2.11 ERA and finished sixth in 2020 National League Cy Young voting. That being said, this line is too low for a pitcher of that caliber which puts us on the other side based on that. 10* (977) Minnesota Twins | |||||||
04-03-21 | Indians -159 v. Tigers | 2-5 | Loss | -159 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a play on the CLEVELAND INDIANS for our MLB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. The Indians managed three hits and four walks over 5.2 innings from Matthew Boyd, but they were unable to score in a 3-2 loss in the season opener. Expect a bounce back on Saturday. Julio Teheran will start the second game for Detroit. Teheran appeared in 10 games with the Los Angeles Angels last season, including nine starts, and was 0-4 with a 10.05 ERA. Zach Plesac will counter for Cleveland. He has made 29 major league starts over the past two seasons, going 12-8 with a 3.32 ERA. He pitched 7.2 shutout innings with 11 strikeouts against Detroit last September and allowed just one run in 10 innings in two appearances against the Tigers during 2019 for an overall ERA of 0.51 and a 0.74 WHIP. 9* (965) Cleveland Indians | |||||||

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. Chicago lost the opener of this series on Thursday 4-3 as the bullpen blew a 3-2 lead by allowing two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. It was a tough loss as White Sox starter Lucas Giolito got a no-decision, though he gave up just two runs on two hits while striking out eight in 5.1 innings. Dallas Keuchel has had more success against the Angels than any other team, going 12-2 with a 3.36 ERA in 18 career games (17 starts). The Angels counter with Andrew Heaney who has had to deal with injuries and inconsistency. He struggled this spring with a 7.41 ERA in five starts over 17 innings. The 14 earned runs included four home runs allowed and the long ball has always been an issue. The White Sox were second in baseball last season with a .285 average against left-handed pitching. 10* (921) Chicago White Sox | |||||||

This is a play on the OAKLAND ATHLETICS for our MLB Revenge Game of the Month. Revenge is on play on Opening Day for Oakland after Houston ended the Oakland season with a 3-1 series win in the AL Division Series. One difference between this season and last will be fans in attendance in Oakland and that series was played in Los Angeles. The Astros finished 19-21 against AL West Division opponents in 2020 and while contenders again for the division crown, there are a lot of holes. Not counting the playoff game, in which he did not get a decision, Chris Bassitt faced the Astros four times last season, going 1-1 with a 2.65 ERA. Overall, he was exceptional with a 2.29 ERA over 11 starts during the regular season. Zack Greinke faced Oakland three times in the 2020 regular season, going 1-1 with a 3.71 ERA. He was average last season, posting a 4.03 ERA over 12 starts in just 67 innings. 10* (984) Oakland Athletics | |||||||

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES for our MLB Thursday Afternoon Dominator. While the Phillies have not compiled a winning record since 2011, there is plenty of reason for optimism as the season opener approaches. The bullpen, one of the worst in baseball history last season, was overhauled and should be must more improved. The Braves are the favorites to win the National League East but are not in a great opening day spot with the pitching matchup. In the two spring training starts for Aaron Nola, he tossed a combined nine inning of one-run ball, striking out 14 without issuing a walk. He holds a career 11-6 record with a 3.05 ERA in 20 starts against the Braves. He owns more wins against Atlanta than against any other opponent. Max Fried has a 3-2 career record with a 4.15 ERA in 11 games (five starts) against the Phillies. 9* (964) Philadelphia Phillies | |||||||
10-27-20 | Rays +126 v. Dodgers | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. The Rays stole Game Four but gave it back on Sunday as they allowed the Dodgers to jump out to a 3-0 lead after two innings. Tampa Bay actually outhit the Dodgers but could not get the clutch hit, going just 1-7 with runners in scoring position. We are expecting the Rays to extend the series and take it to a decisive Game Seven. This was the Game Two pitching matchup, and we can expect a similar result. The Rays jumped on Tony Gonsolin early and went ahead 5-0 to hold on for a 6-4 win. Gonsolin went just 1.1 innings in that start and the Dodgers will be in trouble with a similar outing. The Dodgers bullpen has not been shutting the Rays down as they have a 5.57 ERA in the World Series. Blake Snell no-hit the Dodgers for 4.2 innings in Game Two before running into trouble and he has the stuff to go much longer and needs to get into the sixth inning. Here, we play against any National League team that are averaging 5.0 or more rpg going up against a team with a bullpen ERA of 3.75 or better, in October games. This situation is 71-40 (64 percent) since 1997. 10* (961) Tampa Bay Rays | |||||||

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. The Dodgers threw away Game Four from us, literally, last night and allowed Tampa Bay to even the series at 2-2. This is a pitching rematch from Game One and while the Dodgers easily got that one, it could easily flip here. Tyler Glasnow is coming off his worst start of the postseason as while he allowed just three hits, he gave up six runs in large part because of six walks. He has been inconsistent this postseason, but he can deal and with what happened last night, he does not want to give that game right back. The Dodgers will send Clayton Kershaw to the mound for the second time this series. In Game One, he threw six innings and held the Rays to a run on two hits and a walk. He also struck out eight batters. Now the bad news. He has struggled against teams in the postseason seeing him a second time. In subsequent postseason appearances, Kershaw has tossed 65.1 innings and has allowed 34 earned runs including 11 home runs for a 5.44 ERA. Here, we play on American League teams averaging between 4.4 and 4.9 rpg going up against a National League starter with an ERA of 3.00 or better, after scoring eight runs or more. This situation is 31-11 (73.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (960) Tampa Bay Rays | |||||||

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. This is a tough spot for Tampa Bay based on the starting pitching matchup. The Dodgers took a 2-1 series lead after taking two of three from the Rays top three aces and now they get to face the Rays bullpen game rather than one of those big three. Actually, those three Rays starters put up an 8.78 ERA in their three starts, and none made it out of the fifth inning so essentially, Tampa Bay has already had three bullpen games. Ryan Yarbrough will be asked to pitch the bulk of the early innings and he is in a very tough spot here against potent Dodgers lineup. Julio Urias last started on Oct. 14, nine days ago, where he lasted five innings and 101 pitches, which made him ready to pitch three scoreless innings to close out Game Four. He has given up only one earned run in 16 innings this postseason, he is fully rested, and he is in the perfect position to put the Dodgers a win away from a title. The Rays are 2-5 in their last seven games against starters with a WHIP less than 1.15 while the Dodgers are 45-18 in their last 63 games following a win. 10* (957) Los Angeles Dodgers | |||||||

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. Tampa Bay was able to even up this series with a win in Game Two behind a solid pitching effort from Blake Snell. While the Dodgers seem to have the pitching edge in Game Three, that is not necessarily the case. Walker Buehler had another great season where he posted a 2.91 ERA but has just two wins as he was not able to go deep in games and that could hurt here with the Dodgers going to their bullpen early on Wednesday. While his last start against the Braves was great, his command has been off as he issued 11 walks in his first three postseason outings. Charlie Morton has had a career resurgence as since 2017, he is 47-18 with a 3.34 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while striking out 10.6 batters per nine innings. His postseason record since then is 7-1. In this postseason alone Morton has given up one earned run and struck out 17 over 15.2 innings. He limits damage by keeping the ball in the yard as he has allowed only four home runs this season over 53.2 innings including none in the postseason. Here, we play against National League teams averaging 5.0 or more rpg going up against teams with a bullpen ERA of 3.75 or better, in October games. This situation is 70-39 (64.2 percent) since 1997. 10* (956) Tampa Bay Rays | |||||||

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. We lost with the Rays last night but will back them tonight to get this series evened up. Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash was uncharacteristically lenient with the leash for his starter, granting Glasnow a season-high 112 pitches, even as he walked six batters. Tampa Bay turns to Blake Snell who has allowed just three runs over his last two starts. The Dodgers do hit righties better than lefties, which is a modest lift for Snell. The Dodgers are among the worst teams in baseball at making contact against curveballs and sliders from lefties in the strike zone. Tony Gonsolin counters for the Dodgers and he struggled in his lone postseason start as he allowed five runs in 4.1 innings against the Braves. He is pitching on two days rest after going two innings in Game Seven where he allowed two runs while throwing 41 pitches. Here, we play against teams averaging 5.0 rpg going up against an American League starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.20 or better, after a win by four runs or more. This situation is 72-39 (64.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (953) Tampa Bay Rays | |||||||

Tampa Bay nearly lost a 3-1 series lead but took Game Seven of the ALCS while the Dodgers came back from a 3-1 series deficit with three straight wins to make their trips to the World Series. Tyler Glasnow went 5-1 with a 4.08 ERA in the regular season and is 2-1 with a 4.66 ERA in four postseason starts. He is coming off his worst outing of the postseason, allowing four runs and striking out just five over six innings against the Astros in Game Four of the ALCS. He struck out 91 batters in 57.1 innings in the regular season, and the Rays were 9-2 in his 11 starts. Clayton Kershaw will be on regular rest for Game One. In his NLCS Game start start, pushed back two days because of back spasms, he allowed one run over the first five innings but was charged with four runs after allowing three runs in the sixth inning. Here, we play against National League teams averaging 5.0 or more rpg going up against a team with a bullpen whose ERA is 3.75 or more, in October games.

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. It all comes down to Game Seven in the National League Championship Series as the Dodgers have won the last two games to stay alive. After fending off elimination twice already, history is on the Dodgers side to complete the comeback. Of the 17 teams to force a Game Seven after trailing, 3-1, in a best-of-seven series, 13 have gone on to win that last game. Ian Anderson goes for the Braves, making this his second start in the series. The Dodgers did not score off Anderson in four innings in Game Two, but they walked five times and ran his pitch count to 85. Dave Roberts would not commit to a starter after Game Six, but he did say Tony Gonsolin would take down a good bit of the innings. With starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw, Julio Urias and Dustin May available, there could be an opener. The Dodgers are 70-36 against the money line in their last 106 games as a favorite of -125 to -175. 10* (910) Los Angeles Dodgers | |||||||

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. The Astros came through for us yesterday, but we are going the other way Saturday. After another defeat filled with pitching woes, questionable managerial decisions and defensive mistakes that would have seemed improbable just three days ago for the best record in the American League during the regular season, the Rays are also one loss away from matching the worst playoff collapse in 116 years of postseason baseball. Charlie Morton gets the ball for Tampa Bay and he is the pitcher you want in this spot. He pitched two seasons and won a World Series ring with the Astros before joining Tampa Bay last year. He has allowed just one run over 10 innings in his two postseason starts. Lance McCullers counters for Houston and he is coming off a decent outing, but the long ball has been an issue as he has allowed five home runs in his two postseason starts. The Astros are 2-11 in their last 13 games after scoring five runs or more in their previous game while the Rays are 21-5 in their last 26 games when their opponent scores five runs or more in their previous game. 10* (908) Tampa Bay Rays | |||||||

This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. After dropping the first three games of this series, Houston has won the last two to get back into it and winning the whole thing is not on its side based on history, momentum has clearly shifted. After a lackluster offensive regular season (.264 average with a 92 OPS+ and five homers), Carlos Correa is now hitting .342/.457/.816 with six homers in the playoffs. The pitching matchup is the same as Game One with Blake Snell going for the Rays and Framber Valdez getting the ball for the Astros. Valdez, who has pitched to a 2.00 ERA in 18 postseason innings this year is on full rest following a great start against Tampa Bay, but his offense could not back him up. Snell was decent as well, but he has allowed four home runs over his last two postseason starts and he has not made it through six innings in all of his 14 starts this season. Here, we play on American League underdogs with a money line of +125 to +175 with a team batting average of .255 or worse on the season, after scoring and allowing five runs or less last four games.

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. The Dodgers came through for us last night in a record setting way with an 11-run first inning, but the Braves are in a good position to bounce back from their first postseason loss. Only 25 percent of teams that fell behind 2-0 in a best-of-seven series and won Game Three have come all the way back to win the series, and none of the last 17 did it. Clayton Kershaw will get the start after being scratched from Game Two because of back spasms. He had a solid season, but the Braves present a problem. He had the highest first-pitch strike percentage (69.7 percent) of any pitcher in baseball in the regular season but the Braves .788 slugging percentage on the first pitch was the best in MLB. Additionally, he thrives with his breaking ball but faces a Braves team whose .429 slugging percentage against breaking balls was the highest in MLB this year. Atlanta pitching has struggled over the last 12 innings, allowing 22 runs but the bullpen is still in decent shape. Starter Bryse Wilson allowed just one run in three starts and if he can get through four innings, that will be a win for the Braves and the bullpen. Here, we play on teams after allowing 12 runs or more going up against an opponent after a combined score of 15 runs or more two straight games. This situation is 50-28 (64.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (978) Atlanta Braves | |||||||

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. The Braves came through for us last night but came close to blowing a 7-0 lead and the Dodgers, despite the loss, carry momentum into Wednesday. Los Angeles needs this game to avoid a 3-0 deficit and it has a significant pitching advantage tonight. The Dodgers have lost back-to-back games only five times all season and are 4-0 following the first four, winning those games by a combined score of 29-12. The Dodgers late offensive awakening after being limited to a single run in the first 15 innings of this series could be a confidence-builder. Julio Urias gets the ball for Los Angeles and he has been solid with a 2.86 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. This is his first postseason start and he has allowed one unearned run with 11 strikeouts in eight innings in the postseason. Kyle Wright threw six scoreless innings against the Marlins in the NLDS but had a 5.21 ERA in eight starts in the regular season.

10-13-20 | Braves +156 v. Dodgers | Top | 8-7 | Win | 156 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. We won with the Braves last night as the problems with Walker Buehler were on full display. He has allowed only four runs in 17 innings since returning from the injured list with a blister that originally began in his right index finger, but he has yet to complete six innings during that stretch. Last night messed up the whole rotation as Dustin May had to come in for two innings so he is out of the equation for at least tonight. Clayton Kershaw has been scratched and Tony Gonsolin will take his spot. He went 2-2 with a 2.31 ERA in nine appearances this season, including eight starts so it is not a huge drop-off. However, this is the postseason and a must win so this is the most pressure he has seen and the Braves come in with a lot of confidence and momentum after the four-run ninth inning on Monday. Ian Anderson is young, but he has already shown why he was a first-round draft pick just three years ago. He has worked 11.2 scoreless innings through his first two career postseason starts and has posted a 0.93 ERA over his last five starts. He has been an underdog just once and that was against the Yankees where he carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Here, we play on National League teams averaging 5.0 or more rpg after allowing two runs or less in two straight games going up against a starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.70 or better. This situation is 156-91 (63.2 percent) since 1997. 10* (969) Atlanta Braves | |||||||
10-12-20 | Braves +128 v. Dodgers | Top | 5-1 | Win | 128 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Monday Sweet Spot. Both Atlanta and Los Angeles cruised through the first two rounds of the playoffs with neither losing a game. The Dodgers outscored opponents 30-11 while the Braves outscored opponents 24-5 which included four shutouts and pitching rules this time of year. The Dodgers boast a deep and powerful lineup that led baseball in runs scored, but the Atlanta Braves scored just one fewer time than Los Angeles this season. Max Fried is coming off his worst outing of the season as he allowed four runs in four innings, but the offense bailed him out in a 9-5 victory. The Braves are 12-1 in his 13 starts where he is a perfect 7-0 with a 2.42 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Walker Buehler had a solid season as well, but he has struggled with command in his two postseason starts. He has not gone deep in games and the Braves have the offense that can get to him and the bullpen. Here, we play against National League teams averaging 5.0 or more rpg going up against teams with a bullpen ERA of 3.75 or better, in October games. This situation is 62-32 (66 percent) since 1997. 10* (965) Atlanta Braves | |||||||
10-11-20 | Astros +134 v. Rays | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. The Rays finished the regular season with the best record in the American League, but it took them five games and a late home run to take out the Yankees in the ALDS. Houston finished the 60-game season an underwhelming 14th in runs scored, 16th in OPS, and 19th in home runs. However, the Astros awoke in the ALDS to post 33 runs in a lopsided four-game series with the A's. They are peaking at the right time and they bring in a potent right-handed lineup which is not great news for the Rays and lefty Blake Snell who allowed four runs on six hits in five innings which included three home runs allowed, against the powerful right-handed lineup of the Yankees in his lone ALDS appearance. Framber Valdez gets the Game One start after posting a 1.42 ERA over his past four outings, including a pair of postseason gems. The Houston pitching has been up and down, but the offense has come back to life and it gets a great matchup in this opening game. Here, we play against American League favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 that are averaging between 4.4 and 4.9 rpg going up against a starting pitcher with an ERA between 4.20 and 4.70, after a combined score of three runs or less. This situation is 24-10 (70.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (961) Houston Astros | |||||||
10-09-20 | Yankees v. Rays +142 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 142 | 8 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. It all comes down to Game Five for the team that was expected to win the American League and the team that finished with the best record in the American League. New York began the series with a 9-3 victory but followed it up with an 8-4 loss on Tuesday and a 7-5 defeat Wednesday when its starting pitching plans faltered. They are able to get Gerrit Cole back on the mound tonight but is coming off an average start in Game One where he allowed three runs in six innings. Tyler Glasnow is pitching on two days of rest, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. If Glasnow is used in an opener role, it is possible Blake Snell could follow with the hopes the Rays can get the lead and hand it to high-leverage relievers Diego Castillo, Nick Anderson and Pete Fairbanks, who were not used Thursday. The Rays are 11-2 in his 13 starts including 10 straight wins. The Rays are 19-7 in their last 26 games when their opponent scores five runs or more in their previous game. 10* (934) Tampa Bay Rays | |||||||
10-08-20 | Dodgers v. Padres +160 | Top | 12-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN DIEGO PADRES for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. The Padres nearly rallied on Wednesday as they scored two runs in the ninth inning and loaded the bases before just falling short. Instead of potentially going for a series lead Thursday, they are now trying to save their season. The Dodgers have won eight straight games going back to the regular season and are a win away from going to their fourth NLCS in the last five years. The Padres will go with a bullpen game Thursday, opening with Adrian Morejon. He did make four starts this season and did not make it past three innings in any of those so it will be up to the bullpen to keep the San Diego season alive. The bullpen has gone 31 innings during the postseason and has posted a 2.90 ERA. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts waited to name a starter until Thursday afternoon, and he has chosen Dustin May. He threw two scoreless innings of relief in Game One on Tuesday, so he probably will not be asked to pitch too deep into this one. He had a solid regular season but his 4.62 FIP and 3.98 xFIP suggest he overachieved by quite a bit. 10* (928) San Diego Padres | |||||||
10-07-20 | Padres +166 v. Dodgers | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN DIEGO PADRES for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. Los Angeles took Game One of this series despite having just four hits as it benefitted from 10 walks in the 5-1 victory. The Dodgers were held hitless through five innings of Game One, though they did score a run in the fifth on two walks and a throwing error. The offense has struggled as Los Angeles has a team batting average of .186 this postseason and the pitching has bailed it out. Clayton Kershaw gets the ball for the Dodgers and while he out up a gem in his first postseason start, he has been known for some playoff disasters. The Brewers were unable to get anything going but that offense was bad all season and the San Diego offense is one of the best in baseball and is by far the strongest lineup in Padres history. Kershaw is all about fastball or slider on the first pitch and the Padres had the fourth-lowest chase rate in baseball, behind three playoff teams in New York, Los Angeles and Oakland. Zach Davies struggled in his first postseason start but he has been solid as he allowed three runs or less in all of hi 12 regular season starts. Here, we play against teams after 3 straight games where the bullpen gave up no earned runs going up against an opponent after a game where the bullpen threw seven or more innings. This situation is 30-12 (71.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (919) San Diego Padres | |||||||
10-06-20 | Marlins v. Braves -198 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 22 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. The upstart Marlins will have their work cut out for them in this series and it starts right away in Game One. Miami surprised the Cubs with a two-game sweep led by solid pitching, but Atlanta is a bigger challenge on the offensive end. The second-seeded Braves did not surrender a run in their two-game sweep of Cincinnati, in 22 innings, no less. Max Fried gets the ball for the Braves after he followed up a perfect 7-0 record in the regular season by scattering six hits over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision in Game One of the NL wild-card series on Wednesday. Overall, he posted a 2.00 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 12 starts, 11 of which Atlanta won. The only loss he allowed just three runs, but the Braves bullpen blew it which was an anomaly. The Braves posted a combined ERA of 3.31, second best in the National League. The Marlins had a bullpen ERA of 5.50, the third worst in the National League. Sandy Alcantara counters for Miami and he is coming off a solid start against the Cubs but he has been inconsistent with his command. Here, we play on National League favorites with a money line of -175 to -250 with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.70 or better on the season and averaging 4.7 or more rpg going up against a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.00 or better. This situation is 56-7 (88.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (910) Atlanta Braves | |||||||
10-05-20 | Yankees v. Rays +135 | Top | 9-3 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Monday Sweet Spot. The Yankees and Rays both swept their Wild Card Series over the Indians and Blue Jays, respectively. New York comes in as the road favorite behind the arm of Gerrit Cole who was dominant in his first playoff appearance. The Rays finished with the bet record in the American League and Tampa Bay dominated the season series, beating the Yankees in eight out of ten games. While Cole dominated the Rays last season in the ALDS, he struggled against them this season, posting a 4.96 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in three starts, covering 16.1 innings, two of those resulting in losses. Blake Snell pitched Game One against Toronto when he allowed one hit and struck out nine in 5.2 scoreless innings. He was 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA in the regular season and allowed three runs on four hits in eight innings during two starts against the Yankees. The Rays are 10-2 in their last 12 games as an underdog. Here, we play against favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 after having won two of their last three games going up against an opponent after having won eight or more of their last 10 games. This situation is 52-34 (60.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (902) Tampa Bay Rays | |||||||
10-01-20 | Cardinals v. Padres -151 | Top | 9-11 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN DIEGO PADRES for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. The Padres are on the brink of elimination following a 7-4 loss on Wednesday as Chris Paddack got lit up for six runs on eight hits in just 2.1 innings. San Diego got hit with a pair of injuries in their rotation and they are hoping Zach Davies can save their season. He is coming off an excellent season as he went 7-4 with a 2.73 ERA over 12 starts. He allowed three runs or less in all of those starts while allowing two runs or less in seven of those. The Padres were forced to use seven relievers for 6.2 innings Wednesday, so Davies needs to go deep. The ageless Adam Wainwright takes the hill for the Cardinals and he had a solid season as well, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 10 starts. He is 1-4 when pitching in San Diego in six appearances (five starts) with a 3.03 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP and .229 BAA. The Padres are 8-2 in their last 10 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. Here, we play on National League home favorites with a money line of -110 or higher with a team slugging percentage of .440 or better on the season and are hitting .230 or worse over their last 15 games. This situation is 39-8 (83 percent) since 1997. 10* (968) San Diego Padres | |||||||
09-29-20 | Astros v. Twins -156 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -156 | 22 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS for our MLB Tuesday Afternoon Dominator. Minnesota has lost a Major League record 16 consecutive postseason games but that is pretty meaningless especially since its last playoff game was three years ago. Houston has much more playoff experience but is has been a down year for the Astros as they finished with a losing record after losing their final three games over the weekend. Minnesota won the American League Central despite losing two of its final three games of the regular season. Houston went just 9-21 on the road while Minnesota went 24-7 at home this season. Kenta Maeda gets the ball for the opener and he has been outstanding in his first year with the Twins. He went 6-1 with a 2.70 ERA and 80 strikeouts in 66.2 innings, leading the majors with a 0.75 WHIP while limiting opposing hitters to a .168 batting average. He allowed three runs or less in all 11 of his starts. The Astros hit just .228/.288/.383 as a team in September, averaging 3.8 rpg in the process. Zack Greinke started the season strong with a 1.84 ERA in first five starts before tailing off in the second half as he posted a 5.73 ERA in final seven starts. He made five starts in the postseason last year and went 0-2 with a 4.68 ERA. The Astros are 2-10 in their last 12 road games against right-handed starters while the Twins are 17-5 in their last 22 home games against right-handed starters. 10* (934) Minnesota Twins | |||||||
09-25-20 | Astros -174 v. Rangers | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -174 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. Houston needs one win over the weekend to clinch a playoff spot. The Astros opened tis series with a 12-4 win over the Rangers last night as the offense exploded for the first time in a while. Jose Urquidy has a 2.78 ERA on the season, and he has posted three consecutive quality starts, going 1-1 with a 2.37 ERA during that stretch with 10 strikeouts against five walks and a .490 OPS allowed over 19 innings. The Rangers have been out of it for a while now and they own the worst record in the American League at 19-38. This will mark the fifth start and eighth appearance of the season for Kyle Cody, who limited the Astros to one run on four hits and two walks with one strikeout over three innings on Sept. 15. He has been pretty solid, but he does not go deep in games which is bad with the Rangers bullpen possessing a 4.72 ERA. Here, we play against American League underdogs of +150 or more with a team batting average of .260 or worse after allowing seven runs or more three straight games. This situation is 54-8 (87.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (913) Houston Astros | |||||||

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. We won with St. Louis last night and we will be backing the Cardinals again tonight in what is another big game. They are a game over .500 and are sitting in second place in the National League Central which is an automatic playoff spot this season. St. Louis is a game ahead of Milwaukee and they will play a four-game series which will determine who moves into the postseason and who could likely be left out. Carlos Martinez allowed five runs, though only one was earned, in his last start against Pittsburgh. He will be facing the Royals for the first time this season. For his career, he is 1-0 with a 1.02 ERA against Kansas City, allowing two earned runs on 16 hits in 17.2 innings. Danny Duffy counters for the Royals and he has been hit or miss this season. He has really struggled of late with a 7.04 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over his last three starts, covering just 15.1 innings. Here, we play on road favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 batting .190 or worse over their last five games, with a bullpen whose WHIP is under 1.00 the last five games. This situation is 53-16 (76.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (925) St. Louis Cardinals | |||||||
09-22-20 | Cardinals -110 v. Royals | Top | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. St. Louis lost the opener of this series 4-1 on Monday which snapped a four-game winning streak. The Cardinals are a game over .500 and are one of three teams vying for two playoff spots and those teams are separated by just one game so every game is huge in this final week of the regular season. They have been able to adjust as the Cardinals are 6-1 in their last seven games during Game Two of a series. The Royals are 10 games under .500 and are just playing out the season meaning a lot of young players are getting looks. The Royals are 2-6 in their last eight Interleague games against teams with a winning record. Austin Gomber gets the ball for St. Louis and he has been solid with a 2.37 ERA over 19 innings which includes two starts. He likely will not go deep but will hand off to a St. Louis bullpen that has been solid of late. Brady Singer is coming off a pair of impressive starts, but he has a 6.75 ERA in three home starts. 10* (969) St. Louis Cardinals | |||||||
09-21-20 | Astros -134 v. Mariners | Top | 1-6 | Loss | -134 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS for our MLB Monday Sweet Spot. Houston is coming off a 4-2 homestand including wins in two straight games to pretty much lock up a playoff spot. The Mariners are four games behind the Astros for second place in the American League West. Since the Astros already have clinched the season series against Seattle it is actually a five-game deficit as Houston owns the tiebreaker. Houston is 24-2 over the last 26 meetings and it send Lance McCullers to the hill to get a playoff clinching win here. He is coming off a great outing where he allowed no runs on two hits and no walks over seven innings. He is 7-2 with a 2.95 ERA in 13 career starts against Seattle. Marco Gonzales counters for the Mariners and he is coming off a rough outing where he allowed five runs in six innings where he allowed two home runs. He has struggled against the Astros, going 0-5 with a 7.22 ERA in eight career appearances, including seven starts. Here, we play against underdogs with a slugging percentage of .400 or worse and batting .215 or worse over their last 15 games against a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or lower. This situation is 63-14 81.8 percent) over the last 5 seasons. 10* (919) Houston Astros | |||||||
09-20-20 | Rangers v. Angels -134 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -134 | 6 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. The Angeles are keeping their slim layoff hopes alive after winning their third straight game on Saturday. They are now three and a half games behind Houston and will likely have to win out with seven games left. Los Angeles is 11-5 since September 3rd. The Rangers have the worst record in the American League at 18-34 following their third straight loss. They send Kyle Cody to the hill who has a solid 1.42 ERA through three starts but he is coming off Tommy John surgery and he is not being stretched out for good reason. Julio Teheran counters for the Angels and he has had a tough go at it but that is keeping this number in check. Here, we play against teams averaging 3.6 or fewer rpg going up against a starting pitcher whose ERA is 6.20 or worse with a bullpen whose WHIP is 1.35 to 1.45 on the season. This situation is 39-14 (73.6percent) since 1997. 10* (980) Los Angeles Angels | |||||||

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. Following a 1-0 win last night in the series opener, Chicago has won five straight games to remain 5.5 games ahead of the Cardinals in the National League Central. The Twins have dropped two in a row but are still within striking distance of the White Sox in the American League Central as they are three games back. Alec Mills gets the ball for Chicago and he is coming off a no-hitter in his last outing which puts him in a tough spot to follow up a performance like that. Minnesota turns to Michael Pineda who has been solid through three starts with a 3.57 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 17.2 innings. Here, we play on road favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 that are batting .190 or worse over their last 3 games going up against an opponent with an on base percentage of .300 or worse over their last 15 games. This situation is 46-13 (78 percent) over the last 5 seasons. 10* (927) Minnesota Twins |
