MAGIC MIKE'S 4% MLB MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Toronto Blue Jays to build on a 6–4 win on Saturday, with urgency high after a string of disappointing results. Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman (4–4, 3.36 ERA) did allow four runs over five innings in Atlanta last time out, but he also punched out an impressive eight batters, and now he returns home where his ERA sits a full run lower than his road mark, pointing toward positive regression in this environment, especially with the Orioles 7-16 on the road. 

The Bet: BLUE JAYS (4%). 

EARLY 4% Mariners/Tigers MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Detroit Tigers are swinging hot bats with 32 runs scored across their four-game winning streak, so even with Bryce Miller (1–0, 1.71 ERA) coming off 10 2/3 scoreless innings of two-hit ball over his last two starts, I still expect to see runs in this one. Detroit is 0–5 in Keider Montero’s (2–3, 3.69 ERA) last five starts, and the right-hander has allowed three runs or more in three of his last four outings, so Seattle should have plenty of opportunities to do damage as well.

The Bet: OVER (4%). 

5% MLB Game of the Year MEGA MAX (NL)

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Washington Nationals who were playing well before getting swept by Miami. Left-hander Foster Griffin (6-2, 3.76) has allowed just three runs on eight hits with 11 Ks over his last two starts, and the Hats have an 8-2 team record in his last 10 starts.

The Bet: NATIONALS (5%). 

EARLY BASES ALERT: 4% Orioles/Red Sox MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Baltimore Orioles were held to one run in an 8–1 loss yesterday, but they are 5–1 to the over following a one‑run outing, and this matchup sets up well for more runs.

Orioles right-hander Brayan Bello (2–5, 5.63 ERA) and Marlins lefty Trevor Rogers (2–6, 6.84 ERA) have both struggled badly to keep the ball in the park lately, and both have posted an ERA around 10 over their last five starts.

With two volatile arms and an Orioles lineup that typically responds after being shut down, I like the over.

The Bet: OVER (4%)

4% MLB RUNLINE TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The New York Yankees return home from a successful road trip filled with confidence, and Cleveland left-hander Joey Cantillo (4-2, 3.57 ERA) has been tagged with four runs in two of his last three starts. The Yankees are 12-6 against the runline as favorites against a left-hander starter. 

The Bet: YANKEES -½ (4%)

4% Tigers/Rays MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Detroit Tigers look disrespected due to a 2–8 skid, but the Tampa Bay Rays are also struggling (5 losses in 7). Detroit's Ty Madden (2.38 ERA) has been steady in extended bullpen work so I trust him as a starter, while Griffin Jax’s solid 3.60 ERA is paired with a shaky 1.40 WHIP. Edge to Detroit to keep it close.

The Bet: TIGERS +1½ (4%)

EARLY 4% MLB RUNLINE TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back a hot Washington Nationals side, with five wins in their last seven games after a 9–4 win as an underdog yesterday. Nats right-hander Zack Littell (4–4, 5.23 ERA) has sharpened up, allowing only two earned runs over his past two starts, while Padres righty Griffin Canning has stumbled through May with an 0–3 record, a 7.54 ERA, and a 1.54 WHIP as the Padres have gone just 1–4 in his starts. I won’t go as far as saying the wrong team is favored here, but…isn’t the wrong team favored?

The Bet: HATIONALS +1½ (4%). 

EARLY 4% Tigers/White Sox MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The slumping Detroit Tigers have scored just 3.1 runs per game through a rough 2-8 stretch. Left-hander Framber Valdez (2-3, 4.29 ERA) has started to find his footings after a shaky start with Detroit, and has generally pitched better away from Comerica Park. The White Sox turn to left-hander Anthony Kay (4-1, 3.96 ERA) who has allowed just four runs across his last four starts. 

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Cincinnati Reds, who have won five of their last seven games. Right-hander Chris Paddack (0–6, 6.86 ERA) has been somewhat of an unlucky loser lately, as his ugly season line is mostly driven by a few rough early outings, and he held Atlanta to just two runs over 4 2/3 innings earlier in the year. Atlanta’s offense has cooled somewhat in late May, with several recent games landing in the 3–4 run range, which increases the value of grabbing the extra 1½ runs with a home underdog that is trending upward.

The Bet: REDS +1½ (4%). 

4% Cubs/Pirates MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): After a 12–1 shellacking at the hands of Pittsburgh on Tuesday, the Chicago Cubs have now lost 10 in a row and they've scored two runs or fewer in nine of their last 15 games, With an 0–3 record and a 7.80 ERA over his last three starts, Jameson Taillon (2–4, 5.20 ERA) might not be the right man to stop the slide, and note that the Pirates tagged him for six runs over six innings back on April 12.

The Bet: PIRATES (4%). 

4% MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): Cincinnati Reds' right-hander Connor Burns (6-1, 1.83 ERA) is despite solid numbers not getting much respect. The Reds are 7-3 in his 10 starts on the season, and although Mets have not confirmed a starter yet, I'm happy to lock in an action bet at this price. 

The Bet: REDS (4%)

5% MLB Game of the Year MEGA MAX (IL)

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Cleveland Guardians who had won seven on the bounce before a 3-0 shutout loss on Saturday. On the season, Cleveland is perfect 4-0 off a shutout loss and they've won left-hander Parker Messick's (5-1, 2.45 ERA) last three starts, while Philly hasn't done too well with Andrew Painter (1-4, 5.77 ERA) on the hill. 

The Bet: GUARDIANS (5%). 

5% SUPER MAX NL Game of the Month

The Angle(s): I like the price we’re getting on the Arizona Diamondbacks in this matchup, as it seems heavily influenced by right-hander Merrill Kelly’s (3–3, 5.91 ERA) ugly overall numbers. However, he has surrendered only two runs on seven hits over 16 innings across his last two starts, both Diamondbacks wins. Giants righty Tyler Mahle (1–5, 5.59 ERA), meanwhile, has allowed nine runs on 15 hits over 10 2/3 innings across his last two outings. With Arizona averaging 7.4 runs per game over its last five, I think Mahle could be in for another nightmare.

The Bet: DIAMONDBACKS (5%). 

4% Blue Jays/Yankees MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

'The Angle(s): The New York Yankees took the opener 7-6, but this matchup sets up much differently with Dylan Cease (2-1, 2.41 ERA) and Will Warren (5-1, 3.42 ERA) on the mound. Runs should be much tougher to come by on both sides.

Cease is in dominant form, striking out 19 while allowing just one run on eight hits over his last 14 innings across two starts. He also handled the Yankees well last season, tossing 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball. Warren had a rough outing against Texas on May 6, but outside of that, he has been sharp and consistent. With both starters dealing, this shapes up as a much tighter, lower-scoring game.

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Reds/Phillies MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off back-to-back 6-0 shutout wins over Pittsburgh, but today's starter, righty Andrew Painter, is 0-5 with a 7.71 ERA over his last five starts. The Cincinnati Reds counter with left-hander Nick Lodolo, who has surrendered nine runs over two starts in 2026 after missing the first month of the season with a blister issue. With the Reds' last six games all going over the total, expect plenty of runs to cross the plate in this one.

The Bet: OVER (4%). 

EARLY 4% Phillies/Pirates MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): After combining for 20 runs in the first game of the series, the Philadelphia Phillies held the Pittsburgh Pirates scoreless in a 6-0 win on Saturday. Now, with Zack Wheeler (2-0, 2.55 ERA) and Paul Skenes (6-2, 1.98 ERA) on the mound, we have every reason to expect runs to come at a premium for both clubs.

Skenes is historically dominant. His 1.98 ERA leads a 6-2 record through 9 starts (50 IP), with 56 strikeouts against just 7 walks, and a 0.64 WHIP. In Wheeler's last start (May 12 vs. Boston), he went 7 1/3 innings, allowing just 1 run on 6 hits with 4 strikeouts. His 2026 WHIP sits at a tidy 0.93

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Yankees/Mets MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The New York Mets saw their three-game winning streak go up in flames with a 5-2 loss to the Yankees Friday, and I like the Bronx Bombers to take another one in the first edition of the battle of New York of the season. The Yankees lost left-hander Carlos Rodon's first start of the season, but that just makes them more likely to show up for him here IMO, and note that the Mets are 2-9 against left-handers. When the Yankees win, they typically win by multiple runs, in their 26 wins as favorites they are 23-3 against the runline ... 

The Bet: YANKEES -1½ (4%). 

4% Red Sox/Braves MLB TOP PLAY of the Day 

The Angle(s): The Boston Red Sox have been stuck in low-scoring games lately, with none of their last five going over five total runs. Both Spencer Strider (1-0, 2.89 ERA) and Connelly Early (3-2, 3.16 ERA) are coming off scoreless outings, and the Atlanta Braves were shut out in a 2-0 loss last time out ...

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Tigers/ Mets MLB TOP PLAY of the Day 

The Angle(s): Aside from a couple of 10-run outbursts, the Mets have struggled to cross home plate, and the same goes for the Tigers, who have topped three runs just once in their last six games. On the mound, both sides bring in-form arms; Keider Montero (2-2, 3.18 ERA) has been sharp for Detroit, while Nolan McLean (1-2, 2.78 ERA) has impressed early for New York. With both pitchers dealing and favorable home/away splits in play, this sets up as a low-scoring matchup.

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Mariners/Astros MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Seattle Mariners hung 12 runs on Friday and the Houston Astros scored 10 that same day, then the bats went ice cold as they combined for just three runs the rest of the weekend, but I'm betting we see some regression toward more runs in this series opener.

They’re 7-2-1 to the over in the last 10 meetings, and with George Kirby (4-2, 2.94 ERA) opposite Peter Lambert (2-2, 2.42 ERA, 6.28 career ERA), I'm fading Lambert’s shiny 2026 start and trusting both lineups to do damage once these starters turn things over to vulnerable bullpens (Houston's has an MLB-worst 6.05 ERA). 

With both teams due for some positive variance after a dead weekend and the recent head-to-head trend skewing heavily toward high-scoring games, I’m looking for runs rather than another low-scoring grind on Monday night.

The Bet: OVER (4%). 

MAGIC MIKE'S 4% MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): I think we'll see  full focus from the LOs Angeles Dodgers after a humbling 7-2 loss to Atlanta on Saturday. On the season, the Dodgers are 9-5 coming off a loss, they're 5-0 in Justin Wrobleskin's (5-0, 1.25 ERA) last five starts, and the left-hander has tossed 12 shutout innings over his last two starts. 

The Bet: DODGERS (4%). 

4% Rockies/Phillies MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Phillies had a really poor stretch of games in April, but they’ve settled in and are now 8–2 in their last 10 when laying a price after Saturday’s 9–3 win over Colorado, which is exactly the profile you want when backing a chalky home side. Cristopher Sánchez’s surface line (3–2, 2.42 ERA) looks similar to Tomoyuki Sugano’s (3–2, 3.41 ERA), but the recent form gap is real: Sánchez has allowed just two runs on seven hits over 14 2/3 innings across his last two starts, racking up 17 strikeouts in that span while holding opponents scoreless his last time out. Sugano has been solid, but gave up four runs last time out and the Rockies are just 2–5 against left-handed starters this season. 

The Bet: PHILLIES -1½ (4%). 

4% Cubs/Rangers MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Chicago Cubs look unstoppable right now, with Friday’s 7–1 win marking their 10th straight victory, but this spot sets up for the bats to cool a bit. Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter (1–4, 5.45 ERA) has been tagged in bunches lately, but his last outing was better than the line suggests, allowing five runs but also striking out 10 with only five hits surrendered, hinting at underlying positives. Chicago counters with Edward Cabrera (3–0, 3.27 ERA), who draws a Texas lineup that has been anemic at the plate of late, and the total has gone over in just 10 of the Rangers’ last 10 games. 

Leiter has 43 strikeouts in 38 innings this season, while Cabrera owns a career 9.5+ K/9, giving both the swing-and-miss needed to escape jams and keep runs in check.

The Bet: UNDER (4%)

5% AL Runline of the Month SUPER MAX BET

The Angle(s): Toronto right-hander Trey Yesavage (1–1, 0.96 ERA) has looked every bit the part through his first taste of the big leagues, with nine Ks over 9 1/3 innings and no homers allowed, and this is a great “soft landing” home assignment against a struggling Angels team. LAA righty Jack Kochanowicz (2–1, 3.05 ERA) has respectable surface numbers but carries a much shakier broader track record (5.87 ERA over his last 10 big-league appearances) and walk issues (21 BB in 41 1/3 innings on the season) that can snowball quickly against a patient Toronto lineup in a hitter-friendly park. 

The Blue Jays are 11-9 straight up as favorites, but covered the runline in nine of the 11 wins. 

The Bet: Blue Jays -1½ (5%). 

5% NL Central Total of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Angle(s): The Cincinnati Reds have scored just six runs across their last three games and are averaging only 4.1 runs per game on the season, showing they’re far from a high-octane offense. Cubs righty Colin Rea (4-1, 4.41 ERA) is better than his early-season line suggests, with solid track notes and dependable innings behind him. The Reds’ own right-hander, Brady Singer (2-2, 5.57 ERA) has a few clunker outings skewing his ERA, but he’s much sharper than the surface number implies—and his last crack at the Cubs was a gem: two hits and seven scoreless innings. With both starters capable of grinding through and an anemic Reds attack, this one is set up to land safely under the total.

The Bet: UNDER (5%). 

4% Orioles/Marlins MLB TOP PLAY 

The Angle(s): The Baltimore Orioles are 9-1 to the over in their last 10 games and right-hander Brandon Young's (2-1, 6.14 ERA) last two starts saw 13 and 16 runs respectively, and Baltimore tagged him with seven runs in 4 1/3 innings last year, and the Orioles bullpen has been shaky at best. 

The Bet: OVER (4%). 

LATE 9:40 PM ET: 4% Pirates/D'Backs MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Arizona Diamondbacks are under .500 on the season but 5-2 as home favorites, and they've won left-hander Adrian Rodriguez' (2-0, 3.03 ERA) two starts on the season. Pittsburgh, has lost four of Bubba Chandler's six starts on the season, including last two with Chandler (3-0, 4.97 ERA) giving up nine runs over nine frames. 

The Bet: DIAMONDBACKS (4%)

4% MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Cleveland Guardians’ bats have gone cold, and they're averaging just 3.9 runs per game with a .218 AVG against right-handed pitching on the season. That could be a perfect landing for Stephen Kolek in his first start of the season, facing an anemic lineup. Cleveland right-hander Gavin Williams (5-1, 2.70 ERA) has started the season strong and is 5-2 to the under, with the two games that went over driven by unexpected offensive explosions from the Guardians’ bats, something that looks unlikely to repeat here.

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Orioles/Yankees MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The New York Yankees are 21-11 SU and 18-13 against the runline as favorites. The covered the runline in 18 of the 21 wins, and righty Cam Schlittler (4-1, 1.51 ERA) is off to a fast start to the year (6-1 SU, 5-2 RL as favorite), plus he is 1-0 with a 0.73 ERA in two career starts against Baltimore.

The Bet: YANKEES -1½ (4%). 

MAGIC MIKE'S 4% MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Atlanta Braves sit at or near the top of MLB in runs scored, home runs, and team OPS, which explains why we’re seeing such a high total. But the wind at Coors Field today is expected to blow in, taking some pop off the hitters’ swings, and the Colorado Rockies are already 5-2 to the under in home games with a total of 11 or higher. That combo of park-suppressing conditions and a strong Rockies’ under trend has me leaning firmly against the total.

The Bet: UNDER (4%)

4% Astros/Red Sox MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): Both teams have been burning money for betting backers all year, but one team has to win this matchup, and I'm counting on the Boston Red Sox o come through with a multi-run win. The Houston Astros and the ball to right-hander Cody Bolton (0-1, 6.79 ERA), and they've lost his first two career starts 9-7 against Colorado and 6-1 against Seattle. The Red Sox counter with left-hander Ranger Suarez (2-2, 3.09 ERA) who has started to pick up steam, with just four runs allowed across his last four starts, all in one and the same game. The Red Sox are 6-2 against the runline in their eight win as favorites.  

The Bet: RED SOX -1½ (4%). 

MAGIC MIKE'S 4% MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): Toronto Blue Jays righty Dylan Cease has been razor-sharp against the Twins lately, posting a 2-1 record with a 2.61 ERA and 33 strikeouts over his last five starts against them. Minnesota is averaging just 3.5 runs per nine innings against right-handers this season, and now they’re asking left-hander Connor Prielipp (1-0, 4.00 ERA) to dig them out. The Twins have struggled to generate offense, and while the Jays’ lineup has had its hiccups versus southpaws recently, the overall environment screams low run production.

The Bet: UNDER (4%).

EARLY 1:30 PM ET: 4% Orioles/Yankees MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: The Nwe York Yankees are 16-2 against the runline in their 18 wins as favorites, and Baltimore righty Kyle Bradish (1-3, 4.20 ERA) has shown big struggles with his control walking seven of his last two starts and 2.8 walks per game over his last five starts. Yankees' southpaw Ryan Weahters on the hoter hand has been a strikeout machine, and the Orioles have had clear issues with left-handed pitching. 

The Bet: YANKEES -1½ (4%). 

4% Brewers/Nationals MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Washington Nationals have been an over machine (21-9 to the over,) but right-hander Jake Irvin (1-3, 4.85 ERA) has looked solid lately and punched out nine over 5 2/3 scoreless innings last time out. Washington beat the Brewers 7-3 with Irvin on the mound on April 10, but I think this one plays smaller. Milwaukee right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (1-2, 3.31 ERA) has 33 strikeouts over his last four starts and 51 Ks over 32 2/3 innings on the season.

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

EARLY 4% Pirates/Cardinals MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Pittsburgh Pirates have scored 20 runs through the first three games of this series, but St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Hunter Dobbins, with just 13 career starts and none in 2026, is a bit of an unknown for them and presents a different challenge. The Pirates counter with Paul Skenes (4-1, 2.48 ERA), who typically fuels unders, though his first five starts went over before a 6-0 Pirates win at Milwaukee last outing. Last season, Pittsburgh had a 10-18-4 over/under record with Skenes as the starter... Gimme the under. 

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

MAGIC MIKE'S 4% MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (2-2, 3.90 ERA) has allowed just five earned runs with 25 strikeouts over 15 1/3 innings across his last three starts against the Mariners. Seattle right-hander Logan Gilbert (1-3, 4.36 ERA) has posted an unimpressive start to the year, but expect positive regression as he typically finishes with a sub-3.50 ERA by season's end.

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Rays/Guardians MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Tampa Bay Rays' pitching staff has been outstanding lately, allowing just eight runs over a five-game winning streak. Right-hander Nick Martinez (1-1, 2.10 ERA) kicked off that streak, and four of his five starts this season have gone under the total. The Cleveland Guardians counter with Tanner Bibee (0-3, 4.45 ERA), whose ERA is inflated by one eight-run disaster, but he has allowed just four runs over his other four starts. 

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Phillies/Braves MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): Philadelphia Phillies ended a 10-game losing streak Saturday, but with that monkey off their back I think they'll be back to their losing ways against a Braves team with a red-hot left-hander on the mound. Chris Sale (4-1, 2.79 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA at home, and boasts strong career numbers against the Phillies, who counter with the struggling Aaron Nola (1-2, 5.06).

With the Braves 8-4 against the runline as home favorites and the Phillies 1-3 against the runline as underdogs vs. left-handers, I think we're getting a fantastic price. 

The Bet: BRAVES -1½ (4%). 

MAGIC MIKE'S 4% MLB MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Milwaukee Brewers after eating a 6-0 shutout L. They're 4-2 as chalk after a shutout loss since the start of last season, and Pirates r Mitch Keller bled eight runs in 10 1/3 IP across two late-2025 starts vs. Milwaukee. Brewers RHP Jacob Misiorowski straight-up owned Pitt last year (1 ER in 12 IP over two Crew dubs).

The Bet: BREWERS (4%). 

4% Yankees/Astros MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Houston Astros have been one of the best fades in baseball and they've lost Lance McCullers Jr.'s (1-1, 6.20 ERA) last three starts while the Yankees are 4-1 in Will Warren's (2-0, 2.49 ERA) five starts on the season. 

The Bet: YANKEES -1½ (4%). 

4% Pirates/Rangers MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): Both starters are dealing, Bubba Chandler (1-1, 3.15 ERA) and Jacob deGrom (1-0, 2.29 ERA), while the offenses have been wildly inconsistent. Sure, the Pirates are humming at 5.08 runs per game, but good luck scoring off deGrom when he's locked in like this, 10 IP, 0 ER, 12 Ks, last two starts. 

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

5% MAX BET ALERT: AL TOTAL of the Month

The Angle(s): The New York Yankees are coming off back-to-back shutout wins and the Boston Red Sox have been held to two runs or fewer in four of their last five games. Red Sox lefty Ranger Suarez (1-1, 3.22 ERA) has pitched 14 scoreless innings of five-hit ball across his lasttwo starts, and although Yankees southpaw Max Fried (2-1, 2.97 ERA) was roughed up his last time out, I expect him to bounce back against a Red Sox team he owned last year (18 IP, 4 ER. 

The Bet: UNDER (5%). 

4% Astros/Guardians MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Houston Astros have scored five runs or more in five consecutive games, but have just one win to show for it (a nine-run game!). The bullpen is a mess, and the same can be said of the Cleveland Guardians bullpen which also have an ERA north of 5.00.

Astros righty Peter Lambert (0-1, 7.20 ERA) was smacked around in his first and only start of the year, and Cleveland's Tanner Bibee (0-2, 4.81 ERA) has not had a great start to the season either.

Give me the over at this number!

The Bet: OVER (4%). 

4% Braves/Nats MLB TOP PLAY of the Day 

The Angle(s): The Atlanta Braves are riding a four-game winning streak after a 9-4 win in the series-opener, and they are perfect 4-0 in Reynaldo Lopez' four starts on the season. Lopez has an ERA of 2.08 in three starts against the Nationals since 2024, and I love the price we get on the brave ones here. 

The Bet: BRAVES (4%). 

Reds/Rays MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Tampa Bay Rays are 15-6 to the over on the season, and a big reason is a bullpen allowing over six runs per nine innings. They have yet to announce a starter for Monday's game. Jesse Scholtens with limited major league experience is a likely option, which puts additional pressure on the bullpen. The Reds turn to right-hander Rhett Lowder (2-1, 3.52 ERA) who has conceded seven runs across his last two starts. 

The Bet: OVER (4%). 

EARLY 1:30 PM ET: 4% Giants/Nats MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): the San Francisco Giants are only 2-3 as favorites on the season, but that's also a reason why we're getting this good on a price on them in this matchup as I think they should be a bigger favorite. The Washington Nationals are 1-5 against the runline as home underdogs and Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (2-2, 2.42 ERA) has owned the Nats in recent meetings. Washington righty Miles Mikolas (0-3, 11.49 ERA) has allowed seven runs in 11 innings in his last two starts against SF and the Nats have lost his first three starts with the team 10-2, 13-6, and 6-1.

The Bet: GIANTS -1½ (4%). 

4% Braves/Phillies MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Philadelphia Phillies to bounce back from three losses. Cristopher Sanchez (2-1, 2.01 ERA) was the started in their last win, and they've won his last three starts versus the Braves. 

The Bet: PHILLIES (4%). 

4% Blue Jays/D'Backs MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: The Toronto Blue Jays hats have gone cold and Arizona right-hander Michael Soroka (3-0, 2.87 ERA) has had a great start to the season, especially home at Chase Field where has allowed just one run on eight hits over 10 innings. Toronto left-hander Eric Lauer (1-2, 7.82 ERA) was lit up last time out but owns solid career numbers against the Diamondbacks. 

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Giants/Reds MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The San Francisco Giants limp in at 6-12 with four straight losses, scraping by at just over three runs per game offensively. Reds righty Chase Burns (1-1, 3.31 ERA) boasts 18 strikeouts against 13 hits in 16 1/3 innings despite a bumpy outing last time out, making this a shutdown spot vs. San Francisco. Cincinnati sits 11-7 despite closing as favorites just three times, and I think the bookmakers are mispricing them once again. 

The Bet: REDS (4%).

4% Angels/Yankees MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Los Angeles Angels are 8-2 to the over in their last 10, and yesterday's under still delivered eight runs total. Angels righty Jack Kochanowicz (2-0, 3.24 ERA) has solid form, but LAA is 2-1 to the over in his three 2026 starts, and he surrendered six runs in 12 IP vs. NYY last year. Yankees' Luis Gil (0-1, 6.75 ERA) coughed up three runs in four innings in his lone 2026 start so far.

The Bet: OVER (4%). 

4% Marlins/Braves MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): Perfect bounce back spot for the Atlanta Braves after a 10-4 series-opening loss where the Marlins torched Grant Holmes and the bullpen. Reynaldo Lopez (1-0, 1.15 ERA over three starts) shines vs. Miami with three runs allowed on seven hits and 16 Ks in 15 career innings, plus the Braves are 3-1 straight-up and against the runline post-loss in a series.

The moneyline is not a bad bet, but the odds on the runline looks far more attractive. 

The Bet: BRAVES -1½ (4%).

The Trend(s): The Pittsburgh Pirates are 5-1 straight up and against the runline as favorites, not surprisingly 2-0 with Paul Skenes on the mound. 

The Bet: PIRATES -1½ (4%). 

4% Rangers/Dodgers MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Texas Rangers have the edge on the mound with veteran ace Jacob deGrom vs. unproven Roki Sasaki, but the Dodgers edge in virtually all other areas is strong enough to make me feel they should be a bigger favorite. 

The Bet: DODGERS (4%). 

MACIG MIKE'S 4% MLB MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Seattle Mariners' 5-9 start belies their potential, especially after a 9-6 win over Houston in the series opener, improving them to 3-3 as home favorites. Luis Castillo (0-0, 2.79 ERA) offers great value on the mound with a sharp 2.35 ERA across five starts vs. the Astros since 2024, while Lance McCullers Jr. got shelled for six runs on 10 hits over seven innings against Seattle last year. 

The Bet: MARINERS (4%). 

MACIG MIKE'S 4% MLB MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): The Boston Red Sox sit at 4-8 on the season but I think they are undervalued by the market in this three-game series opener at St. Louis. Red Sox lefty Connelly Early has been solid, allowing just three runs on eight hits over 9 1/3 innings in two starts, both 3-2 losses, but he should be rewarded with better run support against Dustin May, who's been hammered badly in his two outings.

The Bet: RED SOX (4%). 

MAGIC MIKE'S 4% MLB MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): I like the price we get on Detroit righty Jack Flaherty to bounce back from a rough outing, and the Tigers as a team to end e four-game slide and deny the Twins thre four-game sweep of this series. Last season, the Tigers were perfect 2-0 in Game 4 after losing the first three of a series. 

The Bet: TIGERS (4%). 

EARLY 1 PM ET: Royals/Guardians MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot for another under after seeing six and three runs respectively in the first two games of the series. Royals' left-hander Cole Ragans allowed one unearned run over six innings in his last start, and he has a solid track record against Cleveland. The Guardians counter with a left-hander of their own, Joey Cantillo, who has allowed three runs on just eight hits over nine innings on the season.

The Guardians are 2-0 to the under when facing a left-handed starter. 

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

LATE 10 PM ET: 4% MLB TOP PLAY of the "Day"

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Atlanta Braves to bounce back from three losses, including a 6-2 setback in the opener of this series. They'll hand the ball to Reynaldo Lopez who held Arizona to one run on four hits of five innings of a 17-2 win in his last start, and he has allowed just two runs on seven hits over 11 innings on the season. The Angels counter with Yusei Kikuchi who was rocked by the Cubs in his last start, and note that the Braves are perfect 3-0 against left-handed starts on the season. 

The Bet: BRAVES (4%). 

4% Padres/Pirates MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Pittsburgh Pirates have scored 32 runs through a five-game winning streak, and Padres' right-hander German Marquez looks like another potentially easy victim, after giving up four runs on eight hits in just three innings in his season-debut. The Pirates counter with Bubba Chandler, who posted a 4.02 ERA over seven outings (four starts) last season, but held Cincy scoreless and without a hit over 4 1/3 innings last Tuesday.

The Trend: The Pirates are perfect 4-0 as favorites on the season.  

The Bet: PIRATES (4%). 

EARLY 1:30 PM ET: 4% Orioles/Pirates MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): Orioles righty Chris Bassitt was charged with four runs in just 4 1/3 innings during a 5-2 loss to Texas in his season debut, but he's built a reputation as a reliable, durable mid-rotation starter, and he owns a sharp 2.27 ERA across six career starts against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's Braxton Ashcraft takes the mound after tossing six innings of two-run ball at Cincinnati in his season opener, fresh off a strong 2.71 ERA rookie campaign.

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Blue Jays/White Sox MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): This looks like a good spot to back the Toronto Blue Jays coming off two losses as heavy favorites, the latest a 5-4 defeat in the series opener. Both teams turn to their bullpens here, and while neither has dazzled, the White Sox pen has been one of the league's worst (1.76 WHIP, 5.13 xFIP), while Toronto's relievers rank second with a 2.77 xFIP.

The Bet: BLUE JAYS -1½ (4%). 

LATE 10 PM ET: 4% Mets/Giants MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle(s): I think we're getting a good price on the New York Mets to snap a three-game losing streak (through which they've scored just three runs), including a 7-2 loss in the series opener. Mets righty Nolan McLean racked up eight Ks while holding the Pirates to two runs over five innings in his season debut, and Giants right-hander Tyler Mahle carries a 5.13 ERA in five career starts at Oracle Park. 

The Bet: METS (4%). 

4% Reds/Rangers MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Texas Rangers are 4-1 to the over this season, but Rangers lefty MacKenzie Gore boasts a sharp 2.45 ERA in five career starts against the Reds, who are 2-0 to the under against lefty starters on the season. Reds righty Brady Singer struggled in his season debut against Boston but is usually a reliable arm.

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Braves/Diamondbacks MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Arizona Diamondbacks opened the season with three losses to the Dodgers in LA but bounced back to win their first three at home. The Braves are hitting the road for the first time this year, and while Arizona righty Ryne Nelson gave up four runs in his season debut—on just two hits and three walks—two home runs did him in. Nelson went 5-1 with a stellar 2.71 ERA (3.39 overall) in 2025, and I like him to bounce back with a strong outing here.

The moneyline is not a bad bet, but I think the real value is on the runline at this price. 

The Bet: DIAMONDBACKS +1½ (4%). 

EARLY 1 PM ET: 4% Blue Jays/Rockies MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Colorado Rockies are 4-1 to the under on the season, and a 14-5 win here in Toronto in the series opener, they've been held to eight runs in the other four games. The Rockies were 12-4 (75%) to the under in Kyle Freeland's road starts in 2025, and Toronto counters with the ever-solid Kevin Gausman who threw seven innings of one-run ball with 8 Ks in his last start versus Colorado (last season). 

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Angels/Cubs MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Los Angeles Angels came out swinging hot bats, but they were held to just two runs in a 7-2 loss at Wrigley Field on Monday and here they'll face Jameson Taillon who posted an ERA of 3.05 in 10 home starts last season. LAA's Jose Soriano will make his second start of the year after holding the Astros scoreless over six innings of two-run ball in his season premiere. 

The Bet: UNDER (4%). 

4% Pirates/Reds MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Cincinnati Reds got shut out 2-0 by Boston in their season opener but bounced back with two straight wins to close out the weekend. The Pittsburgh Pirates finally notched their first victory Sunday—a 10-inning, 4-3 thriller at the Mets. Tough turnaround flying straight to Cincinnati while the Reds stay home. With Braxton Ashcraft facing Chase Burns on the mound, I don't see much of a starting pitching edge for either side in the matchup, but the Pirates' bullpen has been lit up, and situationally, I'm all over the Reds.

The Bet: REDS (4%)

4% Rangers/Phillies MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The Texas Rangers and the Philadelphia Phillies have split two eight-run and nine-run games, but I think we'll see a lower-scoring series finale.

MacKenzie Gore held the Phillies to five runs on 10 hits over 18 innings last season and Jesus Luzardo limited Texas to one run over six frames. Luzardo has posted a solid ERA of 3.13 with 24 strikeouts over 23 innings across four career starts against Philly, all four stayed under the closing total. 

The Bet: UNDER (4%)

4% Yankees/Giants MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): The San Francisco Giants are still looking for their first run of the season, and here they'll face Will Warren who held them to two runs on two hits with six strikeouts over five innings last year. The Giants counter with Tyler Mahle who started 2025 very strong before missing a big chunk of the season with a shoulder injury. Mahle could very well start this season strong as well, but I don't think he'll get enough run support in this game. 

The Bet: YANKEES (4%). 

LATE 10 PM ET: 4% D'Backs/Dodgers MLB TOP PLAY

ARI - R. Nelson vs LAD - E. Sheehan

The Angle(s): The Los Angeles Dodgers won the season-opener 8-2, and I expect their bats to stay active, but also that the Diamondbacks can contribute more runs to the total tonight. 

The Bet: OVER (4%). 

4% Angels/Astros  MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle(s): Both starting pitchers have impressive career numbers against today's opponent, but while the bats could come out cold, so could the arms as well and I think we'll see runs in this one. 

The Bet: OVER (4%)

5% Dodgers/Blue Jays Game 7 MAX BET

The Angle: It's been a long and challenging postseason for both teams, including an 18-inning marathon in Game 3, and the arms must be getting tired, especially Toronto veteran, 41-year old Max Scherzer's. The Dodgers have as of right now not decided on a starter, we could see Shohei Ohtani, but if so just for a couple of frames, and their pitching staff must be depleted as well. The Jays have been swinging hot bats all postseason and I think both teams will do plenty of damage in this one. Make an "action" wager, so the line is locked in even with pitching changes. 

Play on: OVER (5%). 

Dodgers/Blue Jays World Series Game 6 MAX BET

The Angle: The Toronto Blue Jays have a chance to clinch their first World Series title since the early ‘90s, and the price on them here in Game 6 is too good to ignore. While the Dodgers deserve credit if they fight back and win, the Jays seem undervalued, partly because of how dominant Dodgers’ righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been with a 1.57 ERA in the postseason. Toronto has lost Kevin Gausman’s last three starts, but I trust him—and even more so, the Jays’ potent bats—to deliver when it counts most.

Play on: BLUE JAYS (5%). 

5% World Series Total of the Year MEGA MAX

The Angle: We’ve already seen a whopping 21 runs scored through two games at Rogers Centre, and I expect the run-scoring to keep flowing now that the series heads to Dodger Stadium.

The Blue Jays are 4-1 to the over in road games this postseason, and Dodgers’ righty Tyler Glasnow has a 5.82 ERA in 11 regular-season starts versus the Jays. Toronto’s veteran Max Scherzer, fresh off a solid outing, posted a shaky 9.00 ERA over his last six regular-season starts, setting the stage for a high-scoring affair.

PLAY ON: OVER (5%)

4% Dodgers/Blue Jays World Series Game 2 TOP PLAY

The Angle: If you’ve followed my picks, you know I’m big on spotting letdown spots after a win, but I don’t see that happening for Toronto in Game 2 of the World Series. We were on the wrong side in the series opener, and I'm big enough of a man to admit I underestimated this Toronto team. Experience didn’t matter as the Jays clawed back from an early 2-0 hole, and now they have the edge with the more experienced pitcher on the mound in this game.

4% PLAY ON THE BLUE JAYS. 

4% Dodgers/Blue Jays World Series Game 1 TOP  PLAY

The Angle: Credit to the Toronto Blue Jays, but they lack World Series experience, while the Dodgers are back aiming for a second straight title.

Game 1 pitching sets up perfectly for L.A., as rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage (2-1, 4.20 ERA), who only debuted five weeks ago, takes the mound for Toronto. The Dodgers counter with two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell (3-0, 0.86 ERA), giving them a massive edge from the jump.

Factor in the rest of the Dodgers’ deep, battle-tested lineup, and they look primed to take control of the World Series.

4% PLAY ON THE DODGERS. 

4% ALCS TOP PLAY 

The Angle: The Blue Jays fought off elimination with a 6-2 win on Sunday, and I like them to carry that momentum into Game 7 and punch their ticket to the World Series. Seattle’s right-hander George Kirby has to be rattled after getting hammered for eight runs, including three homers, in just four innings of the 13-4 loss in Game 3. Opposing him tonight is Shane Bieber, a solid and reliable arm.

4% BLUE JAYS. 

5% ALCS Game of the Year MEGA MAX

The Angle: Home advantage has meant absolutely nothing through the first four games of the series, and I think Game 5 sets up nicely for another road win. Seattle right-hander Bryce Miller was just 4-6 with a 5.68 ERA in 18 regular-season starts, and although he allowed just one run six innings of a 3-1 Seattle in in Game 1, the Blue Jays bats have really come alive since the series shifted to Seattle. 

5% PLAY ON THE BLUE JAYS. 

5% ALCS Total of the Year MEGA MAX

The Trend(s): The Toronto Blue Jays are 14-5 to the over this season after scoring 10 runs or more in their previous game. Luis Castillo has a 4.68 ERA in six career starts against the Blue Jays and Toronto righty Max Scherzer, who has been dealing with neck ailment, has been a bust in recent playoff games, going 0-3 with a 5.00 ERA over his past eight postseason outings.

5% PLAY ON THE OVER. 

4% Blue Jays/Mariners TOP PLAY

The Angle: They may be down 2-0 in the series, but I don't think the Blue Jays are ready to go away just yet. They have a favorable pitching matchup in Game 3 with right-hander Shane Bieber boasting strong career numbers against Seattle while George Kirby is 0-1 with a 6.28 ERA in 14 1/3 innings over three previous starts versus Toronto.

4% PLAY ON THE BLUE JAYS. 

5% NLCS Game of the Year MEGA MAX

The Angle: The Dodgers took out maybe their biggest threat to the National League title in the divisional round, and they took command of the NLCS with a 2-1 win on Monday. Now they hand the ball to Yoshinobu Yamamoto who has been dominant all season, and even more so lately with an ERA of 1.24 over his last five outings. The Brewers hand the ball to Freddy Peralta who gave up four runs in five innings on July 19 in his last start against the Dodgers. While the Brewers won that game 8-7, I don't' think they'll be that lucky tonight. 

5% PLAY ON THE DODGERS. 

Mariners/Blue Jays ALCS G2 TOP PLAY

The Angle: Seattle right-hander Logan Gilbert is a tough pitcher, but he's an udnerdog here and the bookmakers usually know what they're doing when pricing him as the dog.

Since the start of last season, the Mariners are only 4-10 with Gilbert as an underdog, and fading him would've generated a +26% ROI. With the Blue Jays 15-7 as a favorite off a loss as a favorite, expect the Jays to bounce back. 

4% PLAY ON THE BLUE JAYS. 

4% Mariners/Blue Jays MLB TOP PLAY

The Angle: Seattle right-hander Bryce Miller has posted a 5.84 ERA over his lsat five starts and gave up two runs in 4 1/3 innings in a 9-3 loss to Detroit in the ALDS. He was tagged with seven runs on eight hits in five innings of a 9-1 loss in the last meetings with Toronto back in May. 

4% PLAY ON THE BLUE JAYS- 

Tigers/Mariners 4% TGIF TOP PLAY

The Angle: With the Tigers 22-11 in Tarik Skubals' starts this season it takes guts betting against him, but they've lost four of his last five starts and each of his last three starts against the Mariners. Seattle's righty George Kirby is a tough pitcher in his own right and I think this line is mispriced. 

4% PLAY ON THE MARINERS. 

Phillies/Dodgers MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY 

The Angle: The Philadelphia Phillies were held to a combined six runs over two home losses before breaking out for eight runs in yesterday’s win. Both bullpens saw early action in that game, which bodes well for tonight’s over as both starters have struggled in recent meetings with their opponents, making a high-scoring affair likely.

4% PLAY ON THE OVER. 

5% MLB Total of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: The Brewers outscored the Cubs 16-6 in their two wins at home, but scoring should be tougher as the series shifts to Wrigley Field. Wind is expected to blow in, turning fly balls into outs and suppressing home runs significantly. While Brewers’ right-hander Quinn Priester had some struggles against the Cubs in the regular season, his overall season stats remain strong, and five of his last six starts have stayed under the total.

5% PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

Mariners/Tigers MLB Game of the Week

The Angle: The Mariners and the Tigers split two meetings in Seattle, with the underdog winning both times. I like the Mariners to buck that trend and win as a favorite, as Tigers righty Jack Flaherty has looked shaky for most of the season and he is 2-5 with a 5.05 ERA in 11 career playoff appearances (10 starts). I think Seattle has a huge edge with Logan Gilbert on the mound, and like the price we get on the favorite. 

5% PLAY ON THE MARINERS. 

NLDS Total of the Year MEGA MAX

The Angle: The Dodgers took the series opener 5-3, and I expect an equal or higher amount of runs tonight. Dodgers lefty Blake Snell sports a 3.41 ERA in seven career starts against Philadelphia and his 3.23 ERA in 13 postseason appearances (11 starts). Both decent numbers, but not exceptional. Phillies righty Jesus Luzardo has a rough 6.14 ERA in four career postseason appearances (three starts), suggesting he might struggle under playoff pressure. Down 0-1 in the series, the Phillies are definitely under pressure, and I anticipate the bats coming alive on both sides with plenty of runs scored.

5% PLAY ON THE OVER. 

Tigers/Mariners MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: Seattle can ill afford to open the series with two home losses, and they've already defated Tarik Skubal twice this season. Their own starting pitcher in both those matchups? Veteran right-hander Luis Castillo  who is handed the ball today as well. I love the price we get on the Mariners. 

4% PLAY ON THE MARINERS. 

ALDS Runline of the Year MEGA MAX

The Angle: The bookmakers have the Seattle Mariners as a hefty favorite here in Game of their ALDS with Detroit, but I think they should be an even bigger favorite. The Tigers slumped big time down the stretch and before struggling to get past the Guardians in the wild-card round. They've named Troy Melton as their starter, who lack the experience of Seattle's righty George Kirby (10-8, 4.21 ERA). Kirby's season numbers might not pop, but he was solid at home and the Mariners were 13-2 SU and 10-5 against the runline as home favorites of -200 or more during the regular season. 

5% PLAY ON THE MARINERS -1½. 

Yankees/Blue Jays TOP PLAY

The Angle: Kevin Gausman owns a 3.67 ERA in 39 career games (33 starts) against the Yankees, while Luis Gil holds a 4.34 ERA in four starts versus Toronto. Neither number screams domination, and that's enough for me to back the over at this low total. 

4% PLAY ON THE OVER. 

Early Tigers/Guardians TOP PLAY

The Angle: The losing team scored just one run in each of the first two games of this wild-card series, and I don't think the winning team will need to put up a big number in Game 3 either.

Guardians' right-hander Slade Cecconi owns a 2.25 ERA in two career starts against Detroit while Jack Flaherty has posted an ERA of 2.51 in 10 career outings against Cleveland. 

4% PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

Reds/Dodgers TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Dodgers showed they’re still a major force with a 10-5 win in Game 1 of this series. Yeah, their division-winning season wasn’t flashy (they finished with the worst record among the three National League division champs), but don’t be surprised if they turn it up in the playoffs. They’ve got a huge edge on the mound for this game, and you can bet they’ll bring their best when it counts.

4% PLAY ON THE DODGERS -1½. 

MLB Wild-card TOTAL OF THE YEAR MEGA MAX

The Angle: The Detroit Tigers' bats really let them down laet in the season, and while Detroit won the opener 2-1, it was not thanks to its hitting. Here in Game 2 of the wild-card round, they'll face Tanner Bibee who has posted an ERA of 2.12 over his last five starts amd has held the Tigers to two runs with 22 Ks over 19 innings across three starts this eeason. I think this will be a low-scoring affair. 

5% PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

Red Sox/Yankees TOP PLAY

The Angle: Two of the toughest pitchers in baseball in Game 1 of a best-of-three series? I fully expect pitching to rule this matchup.

Yankees' left-hander Max Fried compiled an ERA of 1.55 in his last seven starts and posted a 1.96 ERA over 18+ innings in three starts against Boston this season. Boston’s Garrett Crochet is coming off eight shutout innings of three-hit ball against Toronto and has racked up 23 strikeouts over his last two starts versus the Yankees.

4% PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

Padres/Cubs TOP PLAY 

The Angle: The home/away splits heavily favor the Cubs. Chicago crushed it at Wrigley Field, going 50-31, while the Padres struggled on the road with a 38-43 record. Plus, Cubs' southpaw Matthew Boyd has a solid track record against San Diego. With all that, the price is right to back the home team.

4% PLAY ON THE CUBS. 

4% Reds/Brewers MLB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Trend: The over/under is 2-6-2 in the Reds' last 10 games.

They've scored just eight runs across their last four games, and will likely need to lean on their pitching here as well facing Milwaukee right-hander Quinn Priester who has posted an ERA of 2.22 over his last five starts. 

4% PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

AL East Total of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Angle: Both starting pitchers have struggled in their recent outings, suggesting this game could be a turning point in favor of the offense.

Drew Rasmussen has allowed five runs over his last two starts, covering just eight innings between them, which is a dip from his typically strong performance. Cade Povich has been even less effective, giving up nine runs, 17 hits, and eight walks over his last three starts. Both pitchers have had issues with home runs recently.

While Baltimore’s offense has been quiet lately, this matchup presents a good opportunity for their bats to break out against struggling pitching.

The Angle: The Angels have lost 11 in a row and giving us no reason to think they'll wake up in the last five games of the season. 

The Royals are at least showing signs of trying to play ball with three wins in four games. Right-hander Stephen Kolek has compiled a terrific 1.91 ERA over his last five starts while Angels' southpaw Yusei Kikuchi has a 0-5 team record with an ERA of 8.10 through his last five starts.
