Blue Jays v. Rays -110 | | 4-2 |
Loss | -110 | 20 h 21 m | Show |
Taking TAMPA. Had Robbie Ray and the Jays last night. Tonight. Rasmussen on the menu. Guy has been solid since coming out of the bullpen. 7 starts. 30 innings 18 hits 5 Earned 21Ks 5 walks. We know the Rays don't let guys go deep. But I will gladly take his 5 innings 3 hits 1 run ball tonight. Let's add in Manoah is off a total gem vs the Rays a week ago. 8 innings 1 hit 10K ball. He had been giving up some runs prior. On the road his last 3 starts, 15.1 innings 16 hits 12 Earned. On the year, 4.34 road ERA 9 starts (2.47 at home 8 starts). 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS |

Taking the PIRATES. I think we can put the fork in Cincy. Line has come down 20 cents overnight. And why not? Reds have dropped 7 of 10, 10 of 15 and 14 of 20. I'll take a shot on Pitt here. They took 2 of 3 from Cincy just a week ago. In fact - Pirates have won their last 4 series taking 2 of 3 from Miami, Cincy, Washington and Detroit. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES |

Taking the BLUE JAYS. I do like the Rays. And getting them as a dog is never not something I want to do. But right now, this offense is really rolling along. And - Robbie Ray. My guy. I remember back in Arizona he had some nice seasons. He has been absolutely dealing and no chance I fade him. The line might look a bit low, but that is really because of how good Tampa is. 4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS |

Taking the INDIANS. Who the heck are the Yankees to be favored like this right now? Am I missing something? Are they rolling along 8 games ahead, leading the AL East? Uh. No, they aren't they are 4th place 9 games back of Tampa and a half game back in the Wild Card. And Kluber. Please. Don't get me started. This guy gets off the DL and promptly goes 4 innings 5 hits 5 runs - 3.2 innings 4 hits 2 runs - 4 innings 5 hits 4 runs. Safe to say he goes 4 and gives up 3 tonight. He has 2 great starts this season. And has been average or worse every where else. If you take out those 2 gems, he has actually pitched more than 5 innings in just 3 other games. 13 starts, 5 games with 5 complete innings! But yeah, he will come out fire tonight. Give me the Indians with Plesac who has been decent all season. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS |

Last 3 starts on the road - 22.1 innings 9 hits 3 runs, 2 earned. Mets coming in off late game vs the Yankees. These guys have been a disappointed all season. Why wouldn't this be a prime let down spot after the 9/11 series vs Bronx Bombers. 4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS |

Taking the TWINS. Ok. Not the best spot to take Minnesota as a random make up game. But how do we not fade the Yankees. Off a tough loss vs the Mets last night. And just off that Subway Series. No Judge. The bullpen is spent. They have lost 8 of 10 and 12 of 15. Yes. Yankees have owned the Twins over the year. This team was just on Tampa's heels for the AL East crown. Now they are sitting 10 back and also trail both the Blue Jays and Red Sox for the Wild Card and have Oakland and Seattle nipping at their heels. Give me the big dog here. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS |

Rockies v. Phillies -133 | | 11-2 |
Loss | -133 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
Taking the PHILLIES. Not sure who is getting the nod on the hill today. I want to go RL and fade Marquez for the Rockies. We had a winner yesterday on Colorado, but will fade them here. 19-50 on the road, and Marquez is part of that problem. 12 starts away from Coors, 3-8 5.37 ERA (3.16 at home!). A 5.70 ERA his last 7 - that is what happens when you give up 7-3-5-4 going an average of 5 innings. Philly desperate for a win. And that doesn't mean they win. But the lineup can hit, and this looks like a spot to get some healthy swings in. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES |

Not that I love backing teams on losing streaks, but I will here. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES |

Taking the RAYS. Had Tampa last night, will come back on them today. Nothing else to say. Currently up 8-1 over Boston. As I said in yesterday's right up, TB was 10-3 last 13 vs Sox heading into last nights game including 16-5 here in Boston. Safe to say at this moment, those numbers are now 9-1 and 17-5. Eovaldi has pitched well, so this is no knock on him. But Rays are just playing so well right now. Getting them at plus money, maybe too good to be true, but worth a look. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAY |

Taking the RAYS. Tampa is now 10-3 last 13 in the series and 16-5 last 21 here in Boston. These guys simply have Boston's number. 18-5 run on the road, and we get them at a Pk? Come on. Maybe it looks 'too easy." Rasmussen is who he is. A guy out of the bullpen who in his good for 4 innings of 3 hit ball and maybe give up a run. Much better than our guy ERod who we have been fading most of the year. The fact he is off a 6 inning 4 hit 0 run games last week vs Tampa makes me love the Rays all the more. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS |

For whatever reason, Colorado does win at home. People will love to bet on the Giants thinking they have to to win to keep pace with LA. Well of course they have to - but does that mean they are?

Taking the CARDS in both games of this double-header. Look Cincy has dropped 3 in a row. They offense is in a funk. STL - a team who I have kicked their back in all season, is doing exactly what I said about them from Day 1. This team just is always a grinder. Finds ways to compete. The offense is not great. The pitching is blah. But yet. Here we are - 2.5 games back in the Wild Card race. Pressure mounting for the Reds. How about Happ? I laughed at him and Lester coming here at the trade deadline. But - a 2.22 ERA for Happ in 5 Cards starts! Give me the STL as dogs in both games here. 4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS |

And when he was pitching, he had a 5+ ERA on the year. San Diego also 2-14 their last 16 games here in Arizona. How about we add Padres are 3-13 their last 16 overall. Or 2-8 last 10 on the road, 2-9 last 11 as road faves. This team is in a slide. Yes. Arizona flying back from Philly. Tough spot for sure.

Taking the YANKEES. They are in a wild one as I write this tied up at 6 after jumping out to a 6-0 lead in the 3rd. Win streak or not, they have been winning for 6 straight weeks. Not a bad number to lay with Cole who seems to be in a groove lately. 2 August starts producing a .77 ERA and 15Ks in 11.2 innings. Take out that Tampa blip and he has a nice 5 game run under his belt. Manaea on the other hand has been giving up runs this month. 5-3-7-2 (4 innings). A total of 15.2 innings 17 ER 24 hits 5 HRs plus 7 walks and 14Ks. Yanks have been hitting a bit. Will lay it in this spot. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES |

Taking the BRAVES. Had San Fran all series vs the Mets. But it was a tough one. Really had to grind out the last couple. Braves sitting here waiting - stewing after dropping a pair of game to the Yankees. This is a tough team. Fried has really turned his season around. What a bad start back in April. 11 innings 23 hits 15 runs. Then he gave up 16 runs his next 9 starts combined. A huge August that he looks to continue- .67 ERA in 27 innings 2 walks 20Ks 2 ERs with a .204 BA Against .81 WHIP. Enter Gausman who has had a couple so so starts. Can't really bash the guy because after being unbelievable for 18 starts, you knew he would regress a bit. Still more than solid. Just in this spot off that series, I can see the Braves taking this one. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES |

Taking the PIRATES. Will fade Happ at this price. I have been down on STL all year. The offense is a bottom feeder. Pirates are no great shakes, but are scrappy. Dillon Peters is a 28 year old spot starter type of guy. But, for 9 innings so far this year, he has been serviceable. Again. This is just me not thinking Happ should be favored by this kind of number over anyone. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH PIRATES |

Taking the YANKEES. Will grab the low hanging fruit with this line. Though the fact that Oakland is 21-7 vs NYY here at home maybe reflects the low number. But it is still tough to grab a +105 with the A's. Losers of 4 straight and 8 of 10. You got beat 3 of 4 at the White Sox. Giants took 2 of 3 from you. You lose a pair to Seattle. What does this show us? To me, it looks like you can't beat teams with a winning record. Yanks have been on a heater the entire month and then some. 11 in row. 21-4 last 25 and if I can count, a 28-8 run since July 17th. Again. If you had a better price, maybe you think of Oakland. How about Tailon. - Last 7 starts 1.99 ERA. We are also on the Under in this spot. Kaprielan has been solid at home, but again. The run the Yanks have been on - not enough value on the home team and the run they are on. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES |

San Diego will be having a fire sale this December. The pitching has been a complete disaster with its injuries. Tough to overcome a team like LA, or even SF when you are missing your horses. I never like guys in their first games back, and that won't change with Yu either. Are we just going to forget his 5 straight losses in his last 7 starts where he lit up the scoreboard with a 7+ ERA. Hey. Maybe it was nothing. Lower back tightness for 10 day. Did they want to give him a breather? I mean- how do you do that when you are fighting for a playoff spot. He has been nothing but gold vs LAD this year. 20 inning 3 ER 7 hits 29Ks 6 BBs in 3 starts. That being said, we have Mad Max on the hill. 4 starts for LAD 2.11 ERA .98 WHIP 31Ks in 21.1 innings.

Give me the team with the best record in all of MLB who continues to get disrespected. He has been pretty decent his last 2 starts. 11.2 innings 11 hits 4 ER 15Ks 3 walks. We can handle that. Before that, a couple sloppy starts in b2b jobs against Arizona. This NY team is in a tailspin. Carlos Carrasco. 8.82 ERA in 5 games back. 14.14 ERA at home if you are counting. 13 hits 11 ER 5 HRs.

Guy has been dealing with a 2.01 ERA his last starts producing a .99 WHIP. I know the Sox are decent vs lefties, but the have been stymied by good lefties. And, more importantly, teams with winning records. So a tough 1, 2 punch for them to overcome. 4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS |

So we catch a nice chunk of bankroll before the game even ends. Angels come in off of playing a random make up game in NY against the Yanks. 2-1 after the 1st and everyone mails it in. Wonderful for under backers. Back to miserable Bundy and his 2-9 record. He was so bad they took him out of the rotation back at the end of June. Only to put him back in when they traded another miserable arm to the aforementioned Yankees. Tigers playing some meaningful baseball for themselves. They have something to prove.

Taking the ROCKIES. Team with the 3rd most home wins in all of MLB an underdog, again. I understand the Padres are a good team. Still under .500 on the road. And, they send Weathers to the hill who has been a gas-can. An 8.67 ERA his last 7 starts. Forget last 7. How about last 3. 11.2 innings 22 Hits 20 Earned Runs 6 HRs 5 BB 10 Ks. That won't get the job done. Gladly take the home dog. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES |

Taking the BRAVES. Like our Oakland play, we will fade Cincy here. Smyle for those of you who bet it, is a First 5 darling, 12-5-2 good for 72% Winners. Gray, well not so good. 4-10-2 28%. So there is that working in our favor. We know the Reds struggle hitting on the road. It shows as they got demolished by the light hitting Indians last night. Soler in from KC is on a nice little tear. Guy was a 40HR hitter a couple years ago. Change of scenery helping him out. Braves have some bats. Can't believe they are a dog here. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES |

Taking OAKLAND. We see Musgrove with some nice road numbers with a .199 BAA and .96 WHIP. But he has been hittable lately posting a 4.34 ERA his last 7 starts. His overall ERA has been on a steady rise since the start of June. Plus, as I have said on Mid Day Money since last week - This team is really in a weird spot for me. They are off back to back 8-1 wins, yeah. But I am not buying. This line looks a little fishy to me based on the last 2 games, and the overall look of Musgrove vs Montas. So we first look at Montas numbers and think, uh, 4.39 ERA at home. Nothing to get excited about. But this is where I think people are overlooking the guy, and why the line is priced as it is. You take out his 2 bad April starts here vs Minny and the Dodgers. And that home ERA drops from 4.39, to 2.90. That is what happens when you give up 13 earned in 6 innings. You get a ballooned number. He has been sharp of late. A's made some nice moved at the deadline. We all know exactly who San Diego thought they had but lost out on. Give me Oakland at this price. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's |

Taking the RED SOX. I am not a huge Garrett Richards guy by any stretch of the word. And, for me, this price is a steal. Boston head and shoulders better than the Tigers. Back to Richards. You see that ugly yearly ERA and a huge 7.55 ERA last 8 and you think Detroit might be worth a look. Well, he has actually pitched decent on the road 4-2 4.14 ERA in 12 starts (2-4 6.81 8 starts home). He has faced decent teams on the road - Houston, Jays, Yanks, A's, Rays, Mets. So not look he was teeing off on basement clubs. Dropping 4 in row - off getting swept in Tampa, this is a must win. With a day off to get their mind right, Boston the only way to look here. Let us not be fooled by what we have seen in the 42 innings of Wily Peralta. 2 home starts, 9.2 innings 4 hits 6 walks, 4 strikeout. You buckled the Astros for 2.2 innings. Then you had a nice outing vs the reeling Twins going 7 innings with 4 walks. Make no mistake here, Boston is not the Twins. And I need to see more than 2 innings 2 walks 0 hits vs a good team before I take you seriously. 5 runs in 5 innings at the Angels. 5 runs in 5 innings at KC. At Twins for 6 runs in 3 innings. This is a must win spot for the Sox and I will lay the short number. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX |

Taking the BREWERS. How can I not take Milwaukee at this price with Burnes on the hill. Brew Crew doing their best to improve their offense. Bullpen still solid. Short number and maybe one of those too good to be true lines. But I can't pass on them. Best road record in MLB as I type this. Braves not doing much to separate themselves from the NL East pack. Give me the small fave. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS |

Taking the REDS. Will fade Carrasco here. 3 starts in the minor in his injury rehab. 6.2 innings 6 hits 5 ERs 3 walks, 9 strikeouts - and of those 6 hits, 3 HRs. Call me crazy, I have been called much worse. But right off the bat I can't see him going more than 4-5 innings. Then we get to a Mets bullpen, that honestly, isn't all that high on my list of things I want to help me win. Add in an offense, and team for that matter, that has stayed put and not make any deals to help itself. Reds at least addressed their woeful bullpen and are trying to make a playoff push. For the Reds, Sonny Gray has actually pitched decent on the road this year. 5 starts, a 3.33 ERA. I'll grab the small dog here. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS |

Taking the REDS. A nice F5 win at +160 on Cincy yesterday on the Mid Day Money show. Today, more of the same. Cubs in seller mode. Not sure if Davies even makes this start. Much like Pitt trading Anderson before his start yesterday. Too much hanging over a bad Cubs team. Cincy still showing fight. Short number. Mahle 2.26 ERA on the road in 11 starts with a .189 BA Again and 1.06 WHIP. Bullpen always an issue for Reds, but Chicago pen not much better. 4* Money Maker CINCINATTI REDS |

Taking the ROYALS. Are you kidding me with this line? I put this out on the Free Pick Video, and used it in Mid Day Money. How the heck are the Sox, who crush lefties, I think 18-8 vs them this year alone, this short a favorite today? They are begging you to take Chicago. 10-1 last 11 here in KC. And barely a favorite. I'll grab the home dog on a 4 game win streak. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY ROYALS |

And for me, who the heck is Minnesota to be favored like this? They are sitting in last place. They themselves come in off 2 straight home losses. They look lost. Still a terrible bullpen. Trade deadline hanging over the heads of several players. I'll take a shot here with a team like the Tigers who even when losing, are a team that isn't mailing in the season. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS |
