05-22-22 | Padres v. Giants -131 | Top | 10-1 | Loss | -131 | 19 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. San Diego has won three straight games and five of its last six to move to 26-14 on the season which puts them a game and a half behind the Dodgers in the National League West. The Padres have killed it on the road as they are 16-8 and those 16 victories are the most in baseball and they have done it with pitching to the tune of a 3.72 ERA but do face a potent Giants offense that has scored six runs or more in eight of their last 11 games. MacKenzie Gore has been solid in his first six games with a 2.17 ERA but this will be the toughest offense he has had to face. The Padres are 8-21 in their last 29 games against teams with a winning record. San Francisco has dropped three straight games and five of its last seven to tumble into third place in the division with a 22-17 record, five games behind Los Angeles. The Giants are 11-9 at home and turn to Alex Cobb who has also pitched very well as he has allowed three runs or less in six of his seven starts and has a great K:BB ratio of 35:4. San Diego is ranked No. 23 in batting average and No. 21 in OPS and has another tough challenge here after scoring three runs or less in five of its last six games. The Giants are 54-21 in their last 75 games as a favorite. Here, we play against National League road teams averaging between 4.0 and 4.5 rpg and with a slugging percentage of .370 or worse over their last 15 games going up against a starter with an ERA between 3.70 and 4.20. This situation is 31-10 (75.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (914) San Francisco Giants |

This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. Cleveland has dropped three straight games including a two-game sweep against the lowly Reds with a rainout in-between and the schedule remains easy so the Gaurdians need to turn things around this weekend. They are three-games under. 500 and they trail the Twins by 4.5 games in the American League Central. Their pitching has been average but the offense remains strong, recent run notwithstanding, as they are ranked No. 7 in runs scored per nine innings and No. 10 in batting average. Cleveland is 11-3 against the money line against teams whose hitters draw three walks or fewer per game this season. Detroit was off on Thursday following a pair of losses at Tampa Bay where the Tigers managed only one run in each game. They are in last place in the division at 13-25 which is the worst record in the American League. Detroit is 5-12 on the road where the offense has been awful, especially against right-handed pitching as it is hitting just .193 while averaging a mere 1.95 runs per nine innings. This number is low due to Aaron Civale being on the hill for Cleveland and his 9.85 ERA but he has struggled against top offenses including the Twins, Blue Jays and Yankees. Detroit is 3-16 against the money line after scoring two runs or less this season. Here, we play against American League road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 averaging 4.4 or fewer rpg on the season, after scoring two runs or less in two straight games. This situation is 43-13 (76.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (920) Cleveland Guardians |

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX for our A.L. Central Game of the Month. Chicago is back to .500 on the season following a 2-1 loss to Kansas City on Tuesday and the White Sox remain in second place in the American League Central, two and a half games behind the Twins. The offense has struggled as they are ranked No. 26 in runs scored and No. 21 in batting average and it has been the pitching that has kept things close enough to keep them around in a lot of their games. They are a game over .500 on the road where the pitching has been even better. Vincent Velazquez put together four solid outings in a five-game stretch but got hammered in his last start where he allowed seven runs in five innings but that was against the Yankees. The White Sox are 7-1 in their last eight road games against right-handed starters. Kansas City has been up and down this season as the Royals are 8-17 over their last 25 games. They are in fourth place in the American League Central, seven games out of first place, and have struggled on both sides. Kansas city is ranked No. 23 or worse in all three major stat categories on offense and defense and while the offense is in a tough spot, the pitching is worse off. Carlos Hernandez has a 9.91 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in six starts with the Royals going 1-5 including four straight losses. On the other side, Kansas city is hitting a mere .218 against right-handed starters at home. The Royals are 7-19 in their last 26 games as an underdog. Here, we play against teams with a starting pitcher who lasts less than five innings per start and allowed six or more runs in his last two outings. This situation is 29-9 (76.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (959) Chicago White Sox |

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BREWERS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. Milwaukee has been on a tough stretch of late as it is 4-6 over its last 10 games and the Brewers are now two games ahead of the Cardinals for first place in the National League Central. Milwaukee is 11-5 at home and are ranked No. 6 in runs scored and No. 6 in OPS despite a recent run of scoring three runs or less in four of its last five games. The pitching has been just as good as the Brewers are No. 3 in BAA and send ace Corbin Burnes who has backed up his Cy Young season with a great start as he has a 1.77 ERA and 0.79 WHIP through seven starts including six straight quality outings where he has a 53:5 K:BB ratio. The Brewers are 65-26 in their last 91 games against with a losing record. The Braves snapped a two-game losing streak with the win on Tuesday and the early season has been a big disappointment for the defending World Series champions as they are 17-20 and remains seven games behind the Mets in the National League East. The offense has struggled to a .224 batting average which is near the bottom of baseball and they are ranked No. 24 in runs allowed per nine innings at 4.56. Atlanta is 7-9 on the road and send Max Fried to the hill who has been solid and is keeping this number in check. The Braves are 1-4 in their last five games against right-handed starters. Here, we play against road teams hitting.215 or worse over their last 15 games going up against an opponent with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.00 over his last five starts.

05-17-22 | Giants v. Rockies +152 | Top | 10-7 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. San Francisco went into Monday on a two-game losing streak following winning six straight games and it comes into Tuesday as the favorite but we all know anything can happen here. The Giants are a game and a half behind the Dodgers in the National Leage West which is the most competitive division in baseball with every team being at .500 or better. This is a matchup of two teams that are both very similar with great offenses and suspect pitching with the Giants ranked top nine in all offensive categories yet being worst or second to worst in pitching. Colorado has been awful on the road which is a common thing over the years but the Rockies are 12-7 at home which has kept them afloat and at Coors Field, the offense has been great. They are hitting .279 which is the best in baseball as is their 119 runs scored. They face Alex Cobb who has been pretty good but has not gone past 5.1 innings in any of his starts and faces a Rockies team hitting crushing righties and averaging 6.58 rpg against right-handed pitching at home. San Francisco is 1-8 against the money line after having won 6 or 7 of their last 8 games this season while the Rockies are 30-18 against the money line in their last 48 games after having lost 5 or 6 of their last 7 games. Here, we play against road favorites with a money line of -110 or more hitting .255 worse and with a starting pitcher whose lasts less than five innings per start going up against a team with a bullpen whose ERA is 5.00 or worse. This situation is 34-17 (66.7 percent) since 1997. 10* (964) Colorado Rockies |

05-16-22 | Astros v. Red Sox -113 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 23 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON RED SOX for our MLB A.L. Game of the Week. Houston has an 11-game winning streak snapped with a loss on Saturday but bounced back on Sunday with an 8-0 win over Washington to remain in first place in the American League West. The Astros are 5-1 on this current nine-game roadtrip and are 14-8 on the road for the season and this line that opened has and is going to continue to have the public on Houston. The offense broke out for 11 hits on Sunday but the Astros offense has been a letdown thus far as they are ranked No. 19 in batting average and they are hitting just .229 on the road. The Astros are 1-5 in their last six games as an underdog. The Red Sox are off to a rough start as they are in last place in the American League East with a 13-21 record which is 12 games behind the Yankees. Boston lost on Sunday to the Rangers which prevented a series sweep but did finish a respectable 3-2 on the roadtrip. Heading home would normally be a good thing but the Red Sox are 4-9 at home and those four home wins are tied for the fewest in baseball but to their credit, the 13 home games overall are tied for the fewest in the league and their schedule overall is ranked No. 9 in MLB. The Red Sox are 4-1 in their last five games during Game One of a series. Here, we play on teams when the money line is +125 to -125 with a slugging percentage of .370 or worse over their last 15 games going up against an opponent with a slugging percentage of .460 or better over their last 15 games. This situation is 75-40 (65.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (920) Boston Red Sox |

05-15-22 | Yankees -117 v. White Sox | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK YANKEES for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. The Yankees have seized control of the American League East as they have a 4.5-game lead over Tampa Bay. They are coming off a loss against the White Sox on Saturday as one of the best offenses in the league was handcuffed. It will not get easier here with Michael Kopech on the hill as he brings in a 0.93 ERA through six starts but he still does not have a win to show for it as he is 0-0 with minimal run support behind him. New York is No. 4 in runs scored and No. 1 in OPS so they can bust out at any time but it is the pitching that remains even more consistent with the No. 1 ERA in the league. The Yankees are 14-2 in their last 16 games against right-handed starters. Chicago has gotten off to a rough start, much less than expected after coming in as the favorite to win the American League Central. The White Sox are back at .500 following losses in the first two games in this series and getting the win on Saturday. The offense remains a liability as they are ranked No. 25 in runs scored and No. 25 in OPS and have to face Nestor Cortes who has been just as good as Kopech with a 1.41 ERA as he has allowed two runs or less in all six of his starts. The White Sox are 13-39 in their last 52 games as an underdog. Here, we play on American League favorites with a money line of -110 or higher with a bullpen whose WHIP is 1.15 or better on the season, starting a pitcher who walked four or more hitters in each of his last two starts. This situation is 49-10 (83.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (967) New York Yankees |

This is a play on the DETROIT TIGERS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. Detroit took the opener of this series which snapped a three-game losing streak and put an end to a 1-9 run to comfortably put it in last place in the American League Central. The Tigers are 10-23 and have been equally as bad at home as on the road but the pitching came through again and the Tigers have allowed three runs or less in eight of their last 14 games and overall, they are ranked No. 15 in runs allowed, No. 12 in opponents batting average and No. 12 in opponents OPS. Baltimore had a decent run going before yesterday as it had won six of its previous eight games so get out of the cellar in the American League East as the Orioles are 2.5 games ahead of Boston. They have been good at home but have struggled on the road as they are 5-11 on the highway as the real issues has been the pitching as they have a 5.14 ERA including a 5.79 ERA from the starters. They have struggled overall as they are ranked No. 17 or worse in all six major stat categories on both sides. The Orioles are 19-61 in their last 80 games as a road underdog.

05-13-22 | Giants v. Cardinals +116 | Top | 8-2 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. St. Louis has lost four of its last five games including a series loss against Baltimore to kick off this six-game homestand. The Cardinals are now 17-14 and sitting 2.5 games behind the Brewers in the National League Central. They are 8-7 at home which is nothing spectacular but that is helping with the number as they are catching a solid number here. St. Louis has been great on both sides as it is No. 9 in runs scored and No. 5 in runs allowed. They are coming off a split at San Francisco last weekend as the pitching was great for three games, giving up seven runs total but were shelled for 13 runs where Steven Matz was on the hill. The Cardinals are 13-4 in their last 17 during Game One of a series. San Francisco comes in riding a five-game winning streak that includes wins in the final two games against the Cardinals and then a series sweep over Colorado where the Giants outscored the Rockies 24-8. All of those wins came at home and they hit the road where they are 8-5 but six of those wins have come against teams with a losing record and again, that road record is playing into this number. San Francisco is in third place in the National League West, trailing the Dodgers by two games and they too has been above average on both sides. The Giants are 2-5 in their last seven road games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play against road favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 with an on base percentage of .375 or better over their last five games going up against an opponent with a slugging percentage of .390 or worse over their last 20 games.

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. Houston rolls into Minnesota riding a seven-game winning streak and the Astros are now just a half-game behind the Angels for first place in the American League West. All seven of those wins came at home where the Astros are now 9-4 and they come into Tuesday with a respectable 9-7 record on the road and they are favored here because of Justin Verlander being on the mound and he has been sensational coming back from Tommy John surgery as he has a 1.93 ERA and a 0.70 WHIP. They are still ranked near the bottom of the league in offense as they are No. 22 in runs scored and No. 27 in batting average as they are hitting just .217. The Astros are 2-7 in their last nine games after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. Minnesota is coming off a home sweep against Oakland over the weekend and the Twins are now sitting in first place in the American League Central by three games over the White Sox. They are now 11-4 at home and are now catching a solid price with an offense that is ready. The pitching has been great during their recent resurgence and have Joe Ryan on the mound who has been just as good as his counterpart with a 1.63 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. Minnesota is 10-0 against the money line in home games against American League teams scoring 4.4 or fewer rpg this season.

This is a play on the MIAMI MARLINS for our MLB N.L. Game of the Week. Miami put an end to a six-game losing streak with an 8-0 win over the Padres on Saturday but followed that up with a tough Sunday loss as it allowed three runs in the bottom of the ninth in a 3-1 defeat. the Mets split with the Phillies on Sunday so the Marlins are now 5.5 games out of first place in the National League East. The pitching has been outstanding as Miami is ranked No. 8 in runs allowed and No. 7 in BAA, giving up just a .220 average. The Marlins are 7-8 on the road and while they are 6-13 outside the division, this is a good matchup against a bad offense. The Marlins are 6-1 in their last seven games as a road favorite. We won with Arizona on Sunday as it defeated Colorado to win its second straight series. The Diamondbacks have been playing very well with a 9-3 record over their last 12 games to keep pace in the National League West as they are 5.5 games behind the Dodgers in a division where every team in over .500. They are still a game under .500 at home as the offense has been awful, hitting a mere .164 while averaging just 2.94 runs per nine innings.

This is a play on the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS for our Sunday Sweet Spot. Ariona won the opener of this series on Friday but gave it back yesterday with a 4-1 loss that snapped a four-game winning streak. The Diamondbacks are back at .500 which is solid considering there were no expectations coming in. Most impressive is who the Diamondbacks have done it against as they have played the No. 1 toughest schedule in MLB. Arizona is 6-8 at home with the four opponents being the Padres, Astros, Mets and Dodgers, all of which not only have winning records, but also winning road records. Zac Gallen has gotten off to a great start with a 1.27 ERA and 0.70 WHIP through four starts and has been even better at home. Arizona is 15-4 in its last 19 home games against National League teams allowing 4.5 or more rpg on the season. Colorado has been average on the road where it is 5-6 compared to an 11-5 record at home.

Boston has lost three straight games and 10 of its last 13 and is now in last place in the American League East. The offense continues its struggles despite on paper what looks like a potent lineup. The Red Sox are averaging 3.41 runs per nine innings so the offense has not been able to outscore the opposition behind a bad bullpen but did look good Friday, allowing one run over three innings. They have scored two runs or less in 10 of their last 18 games and are due to bust out. Chicago is now a game under .500 following its fourth straight win but its own offense remains in neutral as they have scored four runs or less in all four of those games, averaging just 3.5 rpg. The White Sox offense has been worse than Boston overall and while it might have an edge going against Nick Pivetta, he also has positive leverage here as his last two starts have been his best and his first four starts came against the Yankees, Twins and Blue Jays twice. The White Sox are 5-7 on the road while averaging just 2.92 runs per nine innings on the road against right handed pitching while hitting a mere .219. Here, we play on home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 batting .230 or worse over their last 15 games going up against an opponent batting .230 or worse over their last 20 games.

This is a play on the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS for our National League West Game of the Month. Colorado is coming off a successful homestand where it went 5-1, taking both series against Cincinnati and Washington, which are a combined 12-40 and now it hits the road where it is 4-5 compared to an 11-5 record at home. Clearly, the Rockies have not only better success at home but the schedule has been in their favor thus far with seven more games taking place at home while two of the other three series at home were against losing teams. Overall, the Rockies last 22 games have come against teams with a losing record and through 25 games, they have played the No. 26 ranked schedule in baseball. Colorado is 16-44 against the money line in its last 60 road games against right-handed starters. Arizona is coming off a day off on Thursday following a 7-2 run over its last nine games which got the Diamondbacks to .500 on the season. Most impressive is who the Diamondbacks have done it against as they have played the No. 1 toughest schedule in MLB. Arizona is 5-7 at home with the four opponents being the Padres, Astros, Mets and Dodgers, all of which not only have winning records, but also winning road records. Merrill Kelly has been the staff ace with a 1.27 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP and he has allowed one run or less in four of five starts.

05-05-22 | Blue Jays -145 v. Guardians | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -145 | 23 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. Toronto had its position in first place taken over by the Yankees which has been on a role and losing the series against New York did not help matter. It is still early and the Blue Jays hit the road for the start of a four-game series with the Guardians before heading to New York for another series against the Yankees. This is one of the most potent offenses, at least on paper, in baseball but they have struggled of late, scoring three runs or less in six of their last seven games. Overall, they are No. 21 in runs scored yet No. 9 in average and No. 8 in OPS so the problem has been leaving those runners on base in clutch situations. They face Aaron Civale who has been horrible through four starts with a 10.67 ERA and 1.95 WHIP covering just 14.1 innings. Cleveland is coming off a pair of games on Wednesday following a Tuesday rainout which came after a three-game sweep at Oakland which snapped a seven-game losing streak. The Indians are now two games under .500 after a really good start to the season. The Guardians offensive rankings remain some of the best in the game but they are skewed by early results where they averaged 11 rpg in a four-game stretch after opening the season 0-2 but they have scored three runs or less in 11 of their last 17 games since then. Here, we play on teams batting .250 or worse over their last 20 games going up against an opponent starting a pitcher who allowed six or more runs in his last two outings. This situation is 37-14 (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (963) Toronto Blue Jays |

This is a play on the OAKLAND ATHLETICS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. Oakland has dropped four straight games and it has lost seven of its last nine games against a relatively easy schedule. The Athletics are now three games under .500 and sitting in fourth place in the American League West, trailing the Angels by four and a half games. The pitching has kept the team intact as the bats have been silent of late, scoring two runs or less in nine of their last 11 games and have a chance to open it up today. Frankie Montas was great over his first three starts but is coming off a dud last time out and looks to rebound against a middle of the pack offense. Tampa Bay has won six of its last nine games and is in third place in the American League East, four games behind the Yankees. The Rays are a game over .500 on the road and their numbers are pretty similar to the overall stats and the pitching has been hit or miss of late. They have allowed two runs or less in four of their last seven games but allowed eight runs or more in the other three. Overall, they are allowing 4.19 rpg which is No. 17 in the league and the Oakland offense should have a shot at Corey Kluber who has gotten off to a solid start but has a 3.94 ERA over his last three starts which is nothing special. Here, we play against American League teams averaging 4.2 or fewer rpg and starting a pitcher who did not walk a hitter last outing going up against a starting pitcher with an ERA between 4.20 and 4.70. This situation is 27-7 (79.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (914) Oakland Athletics |

This is a play on the BOSTON RED SOX for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. Boston is back home following a rough road trip as it went 3-7 over the 10 games and the Red sox are now 9-14 overall with 16 of those 23 games taking place on the road. The Red Sox are 3-4 at home and their offense has been a big letdown thus far as they are averaging 3.59 rpg which is No. 24 in MLB while their .229 batting average and .622 OPS are No. 21 and No. 24 in the league respectively. Micael Wacha is off to a solid start as he is 3-0 with a 1.77 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in four starts with Boston winning three of those so he has accounted for a third of their victories. Boston is 23-6 in its last 29 games against the money line in home games after three consecutive games against division rivals. The Angels were shutout in their series finale against the White sox on Monday as they managed just two hits which put an end to a 7-1 run. Los Angeles remains in first place in the American League West as it is 2.5 games ahead of the Mariners, which are also coming off a loss, and 2.5 games ahead of the Astros which handed Seattle that loss last night. The offense is ranked in the top eight in the three major categories but the bats could get handcuffed again for the third time in the last four games. The Angels are 3-9 in their last 12 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. Here, we play on home teams with a starting pitcher who gives up 0.5 or fewer home runs per start, after a game where the bullpen gave up six or more earned runs. This situation is 50-18 (73.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (968) Boston Red Sox |

This is a play on the SEATTLE MARINERS for our MLB American League West Game of the Month. Seattle snapped a four-game losing streak as it salvaged the series finale in Miami and remains on the road as it heads to Houston for a big early season American League West series. The Mariners are 5-8 on the road and the offense needs to pick it up as the pitching has been solid. Lost opportunities have been the big problem for the Mariners on offense as they are stranding 7.55 runners on base per game which is fifth most in the league but this is a stat that will eventually find the mean which is about run per game less than that and with this offense, Seattle will turn it around. The Mariners are 20-6 in their last 26 games when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game. Houston lost another series on the road as it dropped two of three in Toronto to fall to 9-7 on the road and it comes in just 2-4 at home and the Astros will be a publicly backed team tonight based on the limited home slate thus far. Home or away, the Astros cannot hit lefties as they are betting .194 overall and .204 in those six home games and face Marco Gonzales who left his last start after one inning after getting hit by a line drive but he is fine and brings in a 3.86 ERA including a 3.00 ERA over his last five starts. The Astros are 2-6 in their last eight games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play on road teams with a bullpen whose WHIP is 1.15 or better on the season, stranding 7.5 or more runners on base per game on the season. This situation is 45-18 (71.4 percent) over the last 5 seasons. 10* (911) Seattle Mariners |

This is a play on the OAKLAND ATHLETICS for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. Oakland has dropped the first two games of this series and it has lost five of its last seven games against a relatively easy schedule. The Athletics are now a game under .500 and sitting in fourth place in the American League West, trailing the Angels by three and a half games. The pitching has kept the team intact as the bats have been silent of late, scoring two runs or less in eight of their last 10 games and have a chance to open it up today. Oakland is 4-5 at home where it is hitting just .198 and with this recent down surge, the Athletics are getting a great number here. The Athletics are 7-2 in their last nine games following a loss. Cleveland has bucked a seven-game losing streak with the opening of this series and now is three games under .500 after a really good start to the season. The Guardians offensive rankings remain some of the best in the game but they are skewed by early results where they averaged 11 rpg in a four-game stretch after opening the season 0-2 but they have scored three runs or less in 10 of their last 15 games since then. Cleveland is 6-9 on the road and while the numbers look good, those aforementioned four games took place on the highway and since then, it has averaged just 2.9 rpg over their nine road games during this trip. The Guardians are 2-7 in their last nine road games. Here, we play on underdogs with after having lost five or six of their last seven games, a with a winning percentage between .460 and .499 going up against teams with a winning percentage between .380 and .460. this situation is 24-9 (72.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (974) Oakland Athletics |

This is a play on the SEATTLE MARINERS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. Miami took the opener of this series on Friday with an 8-6 victory to make it six straight wins for the Marlins which remain in second place in the National League East. They are three games out with a lot of baseball left but not many expected them to be at this point this early on. The pitching has led the way as the Marlins are allowing 3.70 rpg which is eighth lowest in baseball and its .216 BAA in No. 7 in the league. The bats have been hit or miss as they have scored three runs or less in 10 of their 19 games. The Marlins are 4-10 in their last 14 games after allowing five runs or more in their previous game. Seattle has lost three straight games to fall to 11-9 overall which puts it two and a half games behind the Angels in the American League East. The Mariners pitching has been solid as well as they have allowed three runs or less in half of their games while allowing four runs in another four games. They still rely on a potent offense that averages 4.81 rpg which is No. 5 in the league. They have the pitching matchup edge at a great price with Robby Ray on the hill as he has three quality outings in four starts. The Mariners are 5-1 in their last six games after allowing five runs or more in their previous game. Here, we play on road teams with a bullpen whose WHIP is 1.15 or better on the season, stranding 7.5 or more runners on base per game on the season.

This is a play in the NEW YORK METS for our N.L. East Game of the Month. Despite a loss against the Cardinals on Wednesday where they Mets allowed a season high 10 runs, they remain in first place in the National League East by three games over Miami and four games over the Phillies and while the season is still early, they can create some separation this weekend. They have been solid on both sides, as they are No. 6 in runs scored and No. 4 in batting average while the pitching has allowed opposing hitters a .202 batting average which is No. 2 and the 3.08 rpg allowed is good for No. 4. Tylor Megill gets the ball and he has been solid despite coming off his worst outing as he is 3-0 with a 2.35 ERA and 0.91 WHIP ion three starts over 23 innings. The Mets are 8-0 in their last 8 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. Philadelphia is coming off a four-game sweep over Colorado at home where it is now 8-5 and the Phillies improved to 10-10 overall but they hit the road where they have struggled with a 2-5 start. The offense has held its own but the pitching has been awful as they have a 6.05 ERA and 1.62 on the road, both of which are dead last in baseball. Aaron Nola is coming off his best start of the season after posting a 5.52 ERA through his first three starts. The Phillies are 1-9 in their last 10 games as an underdog. Here, we play on home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 with a starting pitcher whose gives up 0.5 or less HR/per start, playing on Friday. This situation is 43-18 (70.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (954) New York Mets |

04-28-22 | Red Sox v. Blue Jays -139 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. Toronto got an exceptional effort from Ross Stripling on Wednesday as he left the game in a 1-1 tie before the normally reliable bullpen got knocked around for six runs which put an end to a 6-1 run. The Blue Jays are now a half-game behind the Yankees in the American League East, which have won five straight games, and the brutal early season schedule continues after this with series against Houston and New York upcoming. Alek Manoah gets the ball for Toronto today and he has been a very under the radar pitcher as he has posted a 3.09 ERA over 23 career starts including a 2.00 ERA in three starts this season. The Blue Jays have dominated in this spot as they are 18-3 against the money line in his 21 starts against American League teams with a team batting average of .260 or worse. Boston snapped a four-game losing streak with the victory on Wednesday and currently sit in third place in the American League East at 8-11. They are 5-7 on the road and have a tough matchup going up against Manoah as he dominated Boston in two starts last season. The Red Sox are 9-25 in their last 34 games as an underdog. Here, we play on American League home favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 allowing 4.4 or fewer rpg going up against an opponent starting a pitcher who gave up no earned runs last outing. This situation is 55-15 (78.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (924) Toronto Blue Jays |

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. We lost with Washington last night but will be backing the Nationals again as home underdogs. Washington is off to a rough start with a 6-13 record including six straight losses on this current homestand. The Nationals have lost nine of 11 games at home and it should be no surprise that they are a slight home underdog here but this is a good spot to get into the win column. The offense has struggled but the pitching has been the real disappointment as they are last in baseball by allowing 5.7 rpg. Washington is 10-5 against the money line in its last 15 games against National League starting pitchers whose ERA is 2.40 or better. Miami improved to 8-8 with the win last night and the Marlins have won three straight games after a 1-3 run. They have been above average this season in both batting average and batting average allowed and they send Pablo Lopez to the hill and he is off to a solid start with a 0.52 in three starts with the last two coming at home and his only run allowed came in his first start on the road. This has way in his whole career where he has a 2.79 ERA at home and a 5.48 ERA on the road. Miami is 7-23 against the money line in its last 30 games after having won four or five of their last six games. Here, we play on National League home teams averaging 3.5 rpg and after scoring three runs or less five straight games going up against a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.70 or better. This situation is 24-8 (75 percent) since 1997. 10* (962) Washington Nationals |

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS for our MLB Tuesday Grand Slam. These were projected to be the two worst teams in the National League East and so far Washington is living up to those expectations with a 6-12 record including five straight losses on this current homestand. The Nationals have lost eight of 11 games at home and it should be no surprise that they are a slight home underdog here but this is a good spot to right the ship. The offense has struggled but the pitching has been the real disappointment as they are last in baseball by allowing 5.7 rpg. Josiah Gray has been a positive in the rotation as after a rough outing against the Mets, he has posted a 0.87 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in his last two starts, both wins for the Nationals. Washington is 10-4 against the money line in its last 14 games against National League starting pitchers whose ERA is 2.40 or better. That opposing starting pitcher is Sandy Alcantara who is off to a great start as he has a 1.86 ERA in three starts with the last two being quality outings. The Marlins have won two straight games which gave them a 2-1 series win over the Braves. The Marlins are 3-9 in their last 12 games when their opponent allows five runs or more in their previous game. Here, we play on home teams averaging 3.5 or fewer rpg and after scoring three runs or less in five straight games going up against a starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.70 or better.

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. Tampa Bay took two of three against Boston over the weekend and has now won four of its last five games to remain in third place in the American League East, a game and a half behind Toronto. The Rays had a day off yesterday and have the edge remaining at home while Seattle has to travel across the country. Tampa Bay is 6-4 at home and it has been solid on both ends as it has a .244 batting average which is No. 8 in the league and its pitching is allowing just a .207 average and that is No. 5 in baseball. The day off means a bullpen game tonight with Matt Wisler starting and slated to go two or fewer. Tampa Bay is 31-11 in its last 42 home games with a money line of -100 to -150. Seattle is coming off a successful homestand where it went 7-2 following a 3-4 roadtrip to open the season. The Mariners are a half-game ahead of the Angels for first place in the National League West. They too have been solid on both sides but this is a tough spot coming off that homestand coupled with the long trip. The Mariners are 0-4 in their last four games as a road underdog. Here, we play on American League home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 with a team slugging percentage .400 or worse on the season, after allowing two runs or less in two straight games.

This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS for our American League Game of the Month. Toronto was looking good to get out of Houston with a series sweep and a 5-1 roadtrip but the Blue Jays allowed a two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning in an 8-7 loss. They are now tied with the Yankees for first place in the American League East and head back home with another series against the Red Sox. Toronto is 4-2 at home this season and is in a good hitting spot as it is hitting .280 at home including .289 against right-handed pitching while averaging 6.33 runs per nine innings. The Blue Jays are 23-7 in their last 30 games following a loss. Boston has lost two straight and four of its last five games to fall to 7-9 on the season which is three games behind Toronto in the division. The Red Sox pitching has been the strength but they are right in the middle of the pack in the major pitching categories so they have been far from spectacular. They are a game under .500 on the road and the bats can be blamed for that as Boston is hitting only .202 away from home while averaging just 3.64 runs per nine innings. The Red Sox are 9-23 in their last 32 games as an underdog. Here, we play against American League road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 averaging 4.4 or fewer rpg on the season, after scoring two runs or less in two straight games. This situation is 41-11 (78.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (960) Toronto Blue Jays |

This is a play on the SAN DIEGO PADRES for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. San Diego had a four-game winning streak snapped with a series opening loss on Friday to fall to 9-6 which is now two games behind the Dodgers in the National League West. The Padres are 5-3 at home and the offense has been up and down during this current homestand and it was the latter last night as they managed just one run on four hits against six pitchers which is a benefit heading into tonight with the Dodgers bullpen using a lot of arms last night. The Padres are 5-2 in their last seven games after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. Los Angeles is now 10-3 as it has won two straight and nine of its last 10 games and is in position to create some space in the division. The Dodgers improved to 4-2 on the road and are in a tough spot facing Yu Darvish who is coming off his best start of the season following a clunker against the Giants. Los Angeles possesses the highest scoring offense in baseball at 5.48 rpg and also has the best pitching to date as it is allowing just 2.58 rpg and that nearly 3.0 rpg scoring differential is easily the best. The Dodgers are 3-8 in their last 11 road games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. Here, we play on home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 after a game where they had four or less hits, with a bullpen whose WHIP is under 1.20 the last 10 games. This situation is 62-31 (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (964) San Diego Padres |

This is a play on the OAKLAND ATHLETICS for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. Baltimore came through with a 1-0 victory on Wednesday to snap a two-game slide and the Orioles have now scored exactly one run in three straight games. They are now 4-8 on the season and followed up those first three wins with losses next time out and seem to be getting a lot of respect here. Baltimore is now 1-5 on the road and the offense has been abysmal as it has averaged 1.2 rpg in those six games while hitting just .208 which is eighth lowest in the league. Baltimore is 7-32 against the money line in its last 39 games against teams outscoring opponent by one or more rpg on the season. Oakland had a two-game winning streak snapped with the loss on Wednesday and is now a game out of first place in the American League West. The Athletics are 7-6 after a 0-2 start and three of the last four losses have been by one run while six of the wins have been by more than one run. The record could better as they are ranked in the top ten in both runs scored and runs allowed and they are 1.11 in scoring differential. They are 2-1 at home and need this to win the series before a three-game home set coming up over the weekend. The Athletics are 11-3 in their last 14 games after allowing two runs or less in their previous game. Here, we play against American League road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 averaging 4.4 or fewer rpg, after scoring two runs or less in two straight games.

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. We won with Kansas City last night as it held on for a 4-3 win to make it two straight victories following a five-game losing streak. The Royals improved to 4-5 at home and this is the final home game prior to a six-game roadtrip against two potential playoff teams. Kansas City plated four runs last night which is better than its average but was still nothing great and the Royals are now averaging 3.22 rpg which is No. 26 in the league while their .216 average in No. 23 in MLB. The Royals are 4-12 in their last 16 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Minnesota has lost three of its last four games to fall to 4-7 on the season and the offense continues its struggles. The bats have been hit or miss as they have averaged 7.5 rpg in their four wins but have put up only 1.4 rpg in their seven losses but we should see them bust out tonight against a blow average starting pitcher. Daniel Lynch allowed six runs on nine hits, including three home runs, in five innings against the Cardinals in his season opener. The Twins are 3-4 on the road and could use this game before a six-game homestand against the division rival White Sox and Tigers. The Twins are 40-18 in their last 58 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Here, we play on American League teams who had a batting average of .265 or worse last season, batting .215 or worse over their last 10 games. This situation is 37-18 (67.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (923) Minnesota Twins |

This is a play on the NEW YORK METS for our MLB Tuesday Afternoon Dominator. The Mets are off to an impressive 7-3 start and currently hold first place in the National League East. They have won all three of their series thus far and the pitching has led the way as New York is ranked No. 2 in runs allowed, batting average allowed and OPS allowed. The offense is not far behind as the Mets are ranked No. 6 in runs scored, No. 7 in batting average and No. 5 in OPS so they have been getting it done on both sides and that is something that will have to continue in the tough division. Tylor Megill gets the ball for New York after making a pair of impressive starts where he allowed no runs on three hits and no walks in each, going 5.0 and 5.1 innings respectively. The Mets are 5-0 in their last five games when their opponent allows two runs or less in their previous game. San Francisco has won five straight games and is now a half-game out of first place in the National League West behind the Dodgers which have reeled off seven straight wins. The Giants are doing it with pitching as well and this has been evident during the winning streak as they have allowed a total of seven runs in those five games and they have allowed two runs or less in seven of their nine games overall. The offense has been average and the pitching has let the bats off the hook for now but that will not last. The Giants are 2-8 in their last 10 games with the total set at 6.5 or lower. 10* (984) New York Mets |

04-16-22 | Tigers v. Royals -113 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. Detroit has started the season very similar in its three series as it won the opener in all three only to go on to lose each of the next two games to close it out but the Tigers were able to grab Game Two last night, the first consecutive victories of the season. The Tigers made some offseason moves that should strengthen the team but they are still a ways away from even thinking about contending as they are +850 to win the American League Central. The pitching has been legit as they have allowed just three runs during the two-game winning streak. The Tigers are 5-11 in their last 16 games after allowing two runs or less in their previous game. Kansas City has lost five straight games following a 2-0 start to the season as the offense remains a liability. Kansas City has scored three runs or less in five of its seven games and its 3.14 rpg is No. 26 in the league while its .200 batting average is also No. 26 in MLB. While the bats need to wake up, starting pitcher Kris Bubic needs a good start after his opener where he failed to get out of the first inning against Cleveland, allowing five runs on three hits in two two-thirds of an inning. The Royals are 4-1 in their last five games with the total set between 7.0 and 8.5. Here we play on American League teams who had a slugging percentage .410 or worse last season, with a slugging percentage of .350 or worse over their last five games. This situation is 26-7 (78.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (922) Kansas City Royals |

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. Miami picked up the win in this series opener 4-3 on Thursday which was its second win of the season and snapped a three-game losing streak. The offense remains one of the worst in the league as the Marlins are averaging just 3.12 rpg which is No. 28 in all of baseball. The victory was their home opener on the season but this is not an intimidating place for visiting teams and we are not expecting back-to-back wins for Miami. Pablo Lopez gets the ball for the Malins and he is coming off a solid opening start as he allowed one run on three hits in five innings against the Giants. The Marlins are 2-7 in their last nine games following a win. Philadelphia has lost three straight games to fall to 3-4 on the season and the loss on Thursday was its first road game of the season. We are getting a good price with the much more talented team and a lot of that has to do with the recent struggles. The Phillies are averaging 3.0 rpg over this stretch and it is just a matter of time before this offense breaks out. Zach Eflin is coming off a shortened yet solid performance as he went four innings, allowing only two hits and no runs on just 68 pitches but he was on a limited pitch could and should be stretched out here. The Phillies are 9-4 in their last 13 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. 10* (955) Philadelphia Phillies |

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS for our MLB A.L. Central Game of the Month. Detroit has started the season very similar in its two series as it won the opener over Chicago and Boston only to go on to lose each of the final two games to close it out. The Tigers made some offseason moves that should strengthen the team but they are still a ways away from even thinking about contending as they are +850 to win the American League Central. Detroit goes to Casey Mize who is coming off a poor opening start as he allowed four runs on seven hits in five innings while striking out just two. He was pretty good last season with a 3.71 ERA over 30 starts although he allowed 24 home runs in just 150.3 innings. The Tigers are 4-13 in their last 17 games against teams with a losing record. Kansas City is coming off a rainout on Wednesday which came after a 6-5 loss at St. Louis to open the two-game series. The Royals are back home where they are 2-2 and they are riding a three-game losing streak heading into this four-game set with the Tigers. The pitching needs to get back on track as allowing one run in the two wins but gave up 33 runs during the three losses. Zack Greinke was supposed to start Wednesday but got pushed back a day because of the rain and that is not a bad thing. He went 5.2 innings in his first start, allowing just one run on five hits and that was against the now potent Cleveland offense. The Royals are 9-3 in their last 12 games following an off day. Here, we play on American League teams who had a slugging percentage .410 or worse last season, with a slugging percentage of .350 or worse over their last five games. This situation is 26-7 (78.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (922) Kansas City Royals |

This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. San Francisco bounced back from a series opening loss with a 13-2 victory on Tuesday as the Giants lit up Yu Darvish for nine runs on eight hits in just 1.2 innings. They will be out to take the series on Wednesday which would make it two series wins to start the season. They have allowed two runs or less in three of their five games and overall, the pitching and defense is ranked No. 6 in runs scored. Logan Webb gets the ball for San Francisco and he is coming off a solid outing in his first start as he allowed one run on five hits over six innings to register a quality start. When he is on the mound, he has gone 14-1 in his last 15 home starts. The Padres had a four-game winning streak snapped with the loss on Tuesday. San Diego has been average on both sides as they are ranked No. 14 in runs scored and No. 18 in runs allowed. This is the final game of a season-opening seven-game road trip and it welcomes Atlanta tomorrow for its home opener. Sean Manaea is coming off a spectacular opener as he tossed seven innings of no-hit ball against Arizona but was pulled despite throwing only 88 pitches. He was fortunate to face a very weak offense and he will have a bigger challenge here against a more potent offense. Here, we play against teams when the money line is +125 to -125 in the first 12 games of the season, after closing out last season with 11 or more losses in their last 15 games going up against an opponent in the first 12 games of the season, after closing out last season with 20 or more wins in their last 30 games.

This is a play on the CINCINNATI REDS for our MLB Interleague Game of the Month. Cleveland opened the season with two losses against Kansas City as it managed just one run in those two games but exploded for 27 runs over the last two games to force the series split. This is a great spot to go against that offense. The Guardians remain on the road with a pair of games at Cincinnati and bring back opening day starter Shane Bieber who is coming off an average first start as he allowed one run on three hits but lasted just 4.2 innings. Cleveland is 3-14 in its last 17 games against the money line after scoring 10 runs or more. Cincinnati salvaged a split with the Braves as it won the series finale on Sunday. The Reds are coming off an off day after scoring six runs in three of the four games against Atlanta. This is the home opener for Cincinnati and have the slight pitching matchup here. Tyler Mahle is coming off a solid opening day outing as he allowed no earned runs on three hits while striking out seven against the Braves in a 6-3 victory. The Reds are 12-5 in their last 17 home games with the total set at 11.0 or higher. Here, we play on home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 batting .190 or worse over their last three games, after two straight games where the bullpen gave up no earned runs. This situation is 30-11 (73.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (918) Cincinnati Reds |

This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for our MLB Monday Sweet Spot. San Diego dropped its season opener in Arizona but fought back by winning the final three games of the series, outscoring the Diamondbacks 18-7 over those final three games. The Padres are expected to give the Dodgers a run in the National League West but could be in for a challenge in this series opener. Nabil Crismatt went just three innings yesterday as the bullpen was forced to toss six innings and could be shorthanded tonight. Nick Martinez will be making his first Major League start since 2017 after spending four years in Japan and the quality of offense he now faces is a big step up. The Giants were able to win their series against Miami as they bookended wins with the loss coming in Game Two by one run. San Francisco is +500 to win the National League West which is not far behind the +300 Padres so this is a quality team that should have a big starting pitching edge here. San Francisco counters with Alex Wood who is coming off a solid 2021 season where he posted a 3.83 ERA and 3.44 xFIP and had a solid spring to back it up. Here, we play against teams when the money line is +125 to -125 in the first 12 games of the season, after closing out last season with 11 or more losses in their last 15 games going up against an opponent in the first 12 games of the season, after closing out last season with 20 or more wins in their last 30 games. This situation is 31-8 (79.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (958) San Francisco Giants |

04-11-22 | Brewers -145 v. Orioles | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -145 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BREWERS for our MLB Monday Afternoon Dominator. After losing the first two games against the Cubs, the Brewers were able to salvage the final game of the series on Sunday with a 5-4 win as they rallied from an early 3-0 deficit. Milwaukee remains on the road and has a much easier series test to open the week and get a streak going. The Brewers are the favorites to win the National League Central and their starting pitching needs to pick it up as the three starters has tossed a combined 12.2 innings. Adrian Houser makes his first start after a successful 2021 season where he posted a 3.22 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 28 games including 26 starts. The Orioles are in for another long season and they did not get off to a good start as they were swept in Tampa Bay, getting outscored 15-4 in the three-game set. This is the home opener for Baltimore but its home field edge is nothing great as they are clearly struggling on both sides. Bruce Zimmerman gets the ball for Baltimore and he is coming off a season where he posted a 5.02 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 14 games and he had issues with the long ball as he allowed 14 home runs in just 64.3 innings. He is coming off a good spring but logged only nine innings throughout camp. Here, we play against home teams who had a poor bullpen last season with an ERA of 4.50 or worse, in an inter-league game. This situation is 30-11 (73.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (969) Milwaukee Brewers |

This is a play on the OAKLAND A'S for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. Oakland has dropped the first two games of this series, dropping those by scores of 9-5 and 4-2. The A's lost a lot from last season as Matt Chapman, Matt Olson, Starling Marte and Mark Canha are all gone which puts a big dent into their offense but early in the season, they are ranked No. 12 in runs scored. Daulton Jeffries gets the ball for Oakland and this will be just his third career start. While his spring was below average, he earned the No. 3 spot in the rotation based on his ceiling. The Phillies offense has been on fire through the first two games by putting up 13 runs and their team batting average of .290 in second in the league. Philadelphia is expected to once again give the Braves a run but it comes into today as an overpriced favorite, the biggest through the first three games of this series. Zach Eflin counters for the Phillies and he has had a rough go of it through his first six years as he has a 4.92 ERA covering 583.2 innings and has been limited the last two seasons because of injuries. Here, we play against home teams who had a poor bullpen last season with an ERA of 4.50 or worse, in an inter-league game. This situation is 29-11 (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (929) Oakland A's |

04-09-22 | Astros v. Angels +100 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. The Angeles have lost the first two games of this series including a 13-6 loss on Friday as they allowed eight runs in the seventh inning. There are high expectations in Los Angeles and while this is only the third game of the season, this could be an early turning point for confidence alone. They will take on Justin Verlander who is making his first start since undergoing Tommy John surgery and this is his first start in over 18 months. He has been sick on top of it so he is not going to be in top form tonight. The Astros are again the favorites to win the division but they will be more challenged than they have in recent years. They did not do much in free agency but lost Carlos Correa to the Twins as well as losing three key pitchers from their bullpen. They have looked good through the first two games but are in for a challenge in facing Noah Syndergaard who is making his Angels debut after spending his first six seasons with the Mets. Here, we play on road favorites with a money line of -110 or higher, good team from last season, outscored opponents by 0.5 or more rpg, after a combined score of 15 runs or more. This situation is 47-26 (64.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (978) Los Angeles Angels |

04-07-22 | Astros v. Angels -113 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS for our MLB Opening Day Sweet Spot. The Angeles are coming off a 77-85 season but are expected to make a move this year. They were killed with injuries last season as their three key players Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon played only 17 games together last season so if the core can stay healthy, they can knock the Astros off the top of the American League West. They will see where they stand right out of the gate as they host Houston with a fully healthy roster. Ohtani gets the opening day start following a solid 2021 season where he posted a 3.79 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 165 innings pitched. Staying healthy was big for him last season in winning the MVP and he has the chance for a breakout season on the mound to back that up. Houston is coming off a World Series loss against the Braves as it lost 4-2 that included a 7-0 loss in the clinching game. The Astros are again the favorites to win the division but they will be more challenged than they have in recent years. They did not do much in free agency but lost Carlos Correa to the Twins as well as losing three key pitchers from their bullpen. They were solid on the road last season but seven games off from their record at home. Framber Valdez counters for Houston and he posted a solid 3.53 ERA last season but his 1.34 WHIP was below average. He struggled in the postseason and the pressure is on him to develop as a true No. 1 starter and we do not think he is there yet. 10* (986) Los Angeles Angels |

11-02-21 | Braves +119 v. Astros | Top | 7-0 | Win | 119 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Game of the Month. Atlanta had a chance to close out the World Series at home in Game Five and after taking a 4-0 lead, things were looking good but the Astros kept chipping away and eventually won 9-5 to send the series back to Houston. The nine runs scored were just two fewer than the first four games combined so the offense can either carry that momentum forward or regress to where it was in three of the first four games, scoring a total of four runs. The Braves have not lost consecutive games since dropping four straight from Sept. 14-18 and the lineup gets a boost with the DH back in play. The Braves have the pitching matchup advantage with Max Fried pitching on extra rest as he looks to bounce back from a pair of poor outings. He had a tough outing in Game Two, giving up five runs in the first two innings but he was not hit hard as the damage came on ground-ball singles. Expect to see the pitcher we saw that posted a 1.74 ERA during the regular season after the All Star Break. Things are different on the other side as Luis Garcia will start on three days of rest in Game Six. He threw 72 pitches in Game Three and he will not be stretched too far here, putting a lot of pressure on the Houston bullpen that has logged a lot of innings in this series. The Braves are 6-0 in their last six games after allowing five runs or more in their previous game. 10* (961) Atlanta Braves |

10-29-21 | Astros v. Braves -109 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Friday World Series Winner. The Astros avoided a 2-0 deficit as the bats got going in Game Two but now the series shifts to Atlanta as the Braves do not want to give home field back. We feel they are in a good spot with the starters and at a good price on top of that. The Braves are 10-1 in their last 11 home games against teams with a winning record and their lone loss during that stretch occurred on Oct. 1, a day after they clinched the NL East. Houston snapped a five-game home losing streak in the World Series and while the Astros have the momentum, they are just 4-10 in their last 14 games as a road underdog. So far in the World Series, starters have accounted for 14.1 innings, while relievers have logged 20.2 so it will be up to Ian Anderson to log some innings, especially with a bullpen game likely for Game Four tomorrow. Anderson has been solid since the All Star break and in the postseason as the Braves have won his last seven home games and he has posted a 1.47 ERA through seven career postseason starts. Luis Garcia counters for the Astros and while he is coming off a solid effort against Boston, he is hard to be trusted. He is 1-1 with a 9.64 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in three postseason starts and the Atlanta bats can get revved up again in this matchup. Here, we play on teams when the money line is +125 to -125 having won 15 or more of their last 20 games going up against an opponent after having won three of their last four games. This situation is 48-31 (60.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (956) Atlanta Braves |

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our World Series Game of the Month. Atlanta grabbed Game One of the World Series last night and they look to take a commanding 2-0 lead behind an offense that has been solid from top to bottom with only catcher Travis d'Arnaud struggling. The Braves have not let down against quality opposition as they are 15-3 in their last 18 games against teams with a winning record. The Houston bats have been hot and cold and the latter is an issue with two of the big hitters going ice cold. Jose Altuve is 3-for-29 since the start of the ALCS, and Alex Bregman is 3-for-19 in his last five games. The Astros have now lost five straight World Series home games. After the injury to Charlie Morton last night and the Astros turning to their bullpen for significant innings, the Braves are going to need innings from Max Fried, who had a 1.47 ERA from Aug. 3 through his Game One outing against the Dodgers and while he struggled in Game Five, we should see a bounce back here. After going four straight games without issuing a walk, he had two last Thursday and he also allowed two home runs after allowing just one in his previous five games. He has pitched just as good on the road as he has at home so this should not be an intimidation. Jose Urquidy gets the ball for the Astros and he had a good season but his last game was a disaster. His lone playoff start this year was in Game Three against the Red Sox as he allowed six runs on five hits in 1.2 innings in Boston. Here, we play on teams when the money line is +125 to -125 having won 15 or more of their last 20 games going up against an opponent after having won three of their last four games. This situation is 49-30 (62 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (953) Atlanta Braves |

10-26-21 | Braves +121 v. Astros | Top | 6-2 | Win | 121 | 27 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our World Series Game One Winner. The Braves took out the favorites to win the World Series and now will be looking for their first championship since 1995. They start off on the road where they are 2-3 in the postseason but only one of those losses were by more than one run. The loss of Ronald Acuna Jr. before the All Star Break could have killed the Braves, but instead they reloaded by adding Eddie Rosario, Adam Duvall, Joc Pederson and Jorge Soler and we have seen the results and they will get Soler back after having to sit because of COVID. The Astros will be seeking their second ring since 2017 and they have the firepower on offense but could get handcuffed here. Charlie Morton gets the start for the Braves and he is a great candidate for the Game One starter. He has a ton of experience, he is well rested and has plenty of knowledge of pitching at Minute Maid Park when he pitched with the Astros and then the Rays. Morton is well rested and has familiarity with the opposing ballpark, having played for the Astros during the 2017 and '18 seasons. Framber Valdez will counter for the Astros and he is coming off the best start of the postseason where he allowed just one run over eight innings but he is vulnerable. He allowed four runs in 4.1 innings in Game Two of the ALDS and three runs, two earned runs in 2.2 innings in Game One of the ALCS. He has a 4.20 ERA and 1.40 WHIP during the three starts. Here, we play on teams when the money line is +125 to -125 having won 15 or more of their last 20 games going up against an opponent after having won three of their last four games. This situation is 48-30 (61.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (951) Atlanta Braves |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. The Dodgers took Game Five in dominating fashion as they won 11-2 to force the series back to Atlanta and we like the momentum on their side heading into Game Six. Los Angeles was in the same situation a year ago, trailing 2-0 and 3-1 in the NLCS before coming back to win it and while that was on a neural field, the true road atmosphere should not hurt them here. Max Scherzer was originally scheduled to take the mound for Game Six on Saturday, but he was scratched due to arm fatigue so Walker Buehler will be taking his place and we have seen a significant line move as Los Angeles has a much shorter price based on the change. Buehler was dominant in the regular season with a 2.47 ERA and struck 212 in 207.2 innings. He was not sharp last time out but with everything on the line, he will step up as Saturday night will be his 15th career postseason start and that goes a long way. The Dodgers are 8-3 in their last 11 road games. Ian Anderson has put together a solid season but he is catching some hot Los Angeles bats and he struggled in his first start against the Dodgers. He allowed two runs on three hits and three walks in just three innings and the pressure is on to keep the Braves in this and avoid an elimination Game Seven. 10* (923) Los Angeles Dodgers |

This is a play on the BOSTON RED SOX for our MLB Game of the Week. The Red Sox are on the brink of elimination as they will have to take the next two games on the road to advance to the World Series. It will not be easy in Houston but we like their chances in Game Six. This series could be in their favor as the Red Sox had a chance to win Game One but squandered a 3-1 lead and lost, 5-4, creating urgency for Game Two the next day which they won with the same pitching matchup going tonight. The bats have gone ice cold for Boston as after scoring 25 runs through the first three games, it has plated just three runs the last two games and a 2-1 series lead has turned into a 3-2 deficit. Meanwhile, the Houston offense has come back to life, scoring nine runs in each of the last two games to squarely put the pressure on Boston. The Red Sox have been here before though so they are not feeling it. Nathan Eovaldi gets the ball for Boston and he is exactly what the Red Sox need. He has given his team at least five innings in all three starts, something not many starters have done this October. As a starter in the postseason, Eovaldi is 2-0 with a 3.45 ERA, holding opponents to a .200 average. Houston counters with rookie Luis Garcia, who lasted just one inning in his Game Two start before leaving with a knee strain so who knows how effective he is going to be. In his first start of the postseason against the White Sox, he allowed five runs in just 2.2 innings so his 24.54 postseason ERA is not exactly a confidence builder. 10* (921) Boston Red Sox |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. The Dodgers are on the brink of elimination, again. With a 9-2 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, Atlanta has a 3-1 lead in the NLCS, the same situation it was in a year ago against Los Angeles and eventually lost the series. The difference this time around is that the Braves will have the final two games at home should Los Angeles force a Game Six as opposed to playing on a neutral field last year. Despite the Wednesday loss, the Dodgers are 61-25 at home and have won seven of their last 10 home playoff games. Corey Knebel will get his third start of the postseason. With no bulk pitcher available, it will be a traditional bullpen game for the Dodgers. This is not ideal for an elimination game but the Dodgers had the second best bullpen during the regular season with a 3.16 ERA along with the second best bullpen in the postseason with a 2.74 ERA. Max Fried has had a great second half to the season so the Dodgers bats will once again have a challenge after he allowed two runs on eight hits over sin innings, definitely a good start but not one his best. The Dodgers are 13-3 in their last 16 games when their opponent allows two runs or less in their previous game. Here, we play against road teams after a game where they hit four or more home runs, with a starting pitcher whose ERA is less than 2.50 over his last five starts. This situation is 36-23 (61 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (920) Los Angeles Dodgers |

This is a play on the BOSTON RED SOX for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. The Boston bats finally went cold as after scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning, the Red Sox did not score over the final eight innings of Game Four and the series is now tied at two games apiece. The momentum is on the side of the Astros after tying the game in the eighth and then busting out for seven runs in the top of the ninth but it is a different day and Boston is in a good spot to take the series lead before heading back to Houston. With another home run in Game Four, the Red Sox have hit 21 home runs in their first nine games of the postseason which is the second most in a nine-game postseason stretch in MLB history. Chris Sale has definitely been struggling with an 8.73 ERA over his last four starts but all of those came on the road. This will be the first time Sale has pitched at Fenway Park since Sept. 22, and he went 5-0 with a 2.48 ERA in six home starts this season. Framber Valdez will counter for Houston and he struggled in Game One, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks in just 2.2 innings. He has struggled of late with a 4.66 since the start of September. Despite the win last night, the Astros are 2-7 in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a winning record and despite the loss, the Red Sox are 7-1 in their last eight playoff home games while winning four straight games following a loss. 10* (916) Boston Red Sox |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. With the 5-4 loss on Sunday, the Dodgers are now in a 2-0 hole in the NLCS for the second consecutive season. It did not bother them last season however as they rallied from that as well as a 3-1 series deficit to win and go on to the World series. They are back home in a must win situation and two walk off wins, the Braves are in a tough spot to maintain that on the road. Walker Beuhler did not have his most electrifying stuff in his last start on Tuesday as he went just 4.1 innings and threw only 71 pitches but he was pitching on short and now he is rested and ready to go a week later. While his 3.38 ERA this postseason is still decent, he has been dominant in the postseason posting a 1.89 ERA in 2020 and a 0.71 ERA in 2019, covering 31.2 innings. Charlie Morton is also pitching on the same amount of rest after coming off an average effort as well where he tossed 69 pitches in just 3.1 innings. The Braves are only 8-8 in his 16 road starts. The Dodgers are 70-34 in their last 104 games against the money line after a game where they had four or fewer hits while going 40-13 in their last 53 games as a home favorite. The Braves are 1-4 in their last 5 playoff games as an underdog. 10* (914) Los Angeles Dodgers |

This is a play on the BOSTON RED SOX for our MLB Monday Sweet Spot. The ALCS heads to Boston as the Red Sox and Astros split the two games in Houston with the Red Sox now possessing the home field edge with three of the next five games taking place at Fenway Park should the series go that far. Boston used a pair of grand slams in the first and second innings to jump out to a big lead and take Game Two and the Red Sox became the first team ever with two grand slams in a postseason game. Boston has the hottest hitter on the planet right now and if Kiki Hernandez can keep it going, the Red Sox offense will continue to flourish. In his last five games, he is 15-for-25 with four doubles, five homers and nine RBIs. Eduardo Rodriguez gets the ball for Boston. He faced the Astros twice this season and was hammered both times with nearly identical stat lines as he allowed six runs in 4.2 innings both times. He was having trouble with his changeup back then and he has been much more consistent recently, posting a 2.89 ERA over his last seven games. He came through in a big spot for Boston in clinching Game Four of the ALDS, holding the Rays to two runs over five innings. This will be the first action for Jose Urquidy since October 3rd and while his arm is rested, the time off in a concern. The Astros are 1-6 in their last seven road games against a team with a winning record while the Red Sox are 7-0 in their last seven games against right-handed starters. 10* (910) Boston Red Sox |

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. The Braves were able to take Game One of this series with a dramatic 3-2 win as Austin Riley hit a walk-off single in the bottom the ninth inning to jump out to a 1-0 series lead in the NLCS. They do have a much more daunting task on Sunday but are catching a solid number with the Dodgers being a very popular play. Ian Anderson gets the ball for Atlanta and he put together a very solid season with a 3.44 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 25 starts. He was nearly flawless against the Brewers as he tossed five scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and no walks while striking out six. He has been great at home, going 6-1 with a 3.26 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 12 starts with the Braves going 10-2 in those starts. Max Scherzer counters for Los Angeles and he picked up the save in Game Five of the NLDS. He has gone 0-1 in two postseason starts and while he pitched well, he received just two runs of support. He had two starts against the Braves, one good and one bad and in the latter, he allowed four home runs. The Braves hit 269 home runs this season, third most in baseball so that could be an issue as the long ball has plagued him throughout his career. The Dodgers are 7-15 in their last 22 League Championship road games while the Braves are 20-6 in their last 26 games after allowing two runs or less in their previous game. 10* (908) Atlanta Braves |

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. The Braves and Dodgers will be facing each other in the NLCS for a second straight season and last year was epic with the Dodgers rallying from a 3-1 deficit to win three straight and make it to the World Series. We will going with the home team in Game One. Max Fried gets the ball for the Braves and has been sensational. He posted a 3.04 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 28 regular season starts. He backed that up with six shutout innings while allowing just three hits and striking out nine and walking none in a 3-0 win over the Brewers. He faced the Dodgers twice, posting a 2.25 ERA and 0.83 WHIP, striking out 13 and waking one. Corey Knebel will open Game One tonight, with Tony Gonsolin expected to provide bulk innings at some point in the game. This bumps Max Scherzer to start Game Two on Monday. Gonsolin has not pitched this postseason but in 2020, he posted an 8.68 ERA in three starts over 9.1 innings. Here, we play on National League home teams between +125 to -125 with a slugging percentage of .430 or better starting a pitcher on 5 or 6 days of rest going up against a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.25 or better. This situation is 43-16 (72.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (906) Atlanta Braves |

This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. The Astros and Red Sox meet for the third time in the postseason since 2017 so these teams are very familiar with each other which should make for a very competitive series. Houston was the more dominant team in the ALDS as it outscored the White Sox 31-18 while averaging 7.8 rpg with pretty much the same lineup. Houston has a better overall pitching staff with a 3.78 season ERA compared to 4.26 for Boston. Framber Valdez will likely get the start for the Astros as he has been pushed back because of the Game Three rainout and he has posted a 3.14 ERA while going 11-6 in 23 games. Chris Sale will get the Game One start which is a bit surprising because of his recent struggles as he has recorded just 10 outs over his past two starts, lasting only one inning in Game Two of the ALDS against the Rays. Houston is 16-4 in 20 home games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .540 and .620 while the Red Sox are 6-15 in their last 21 games as an underdog. Here, we play against road teams with a starting pitcher whose gives up 5.5 or fewer hits per start, after two straight games where their bullpen blew a save. This situation is 151-86 (63.7 percent) since 1997. 10* (902) Houston Astros |

This series, along with the regular season series, has shown how close these teams are as the Giants own a combined 12-11 lead in the 23 meetings this season. At basically even odds, we give the nod to the Giants which finished six games better at home than the Dodgers did on the road and while the starting pitching looks like a toss-up, we do give the edge to the Giants here. The Dodgers announced on Thursday that they were starting right-hander Corey Knebel and then turn to Julio UrÃas who was sensational with a 21-3 record to go along with a 2.93 ERA and 1.01 WHIP over 33 starts. The Giants will counter with Logan Webb who quietly put together a great season. He struck out 10 over 7.2 scoreless innings in Game One and will be pitching on five days of rest. The Giants are a perfect 13-0 in his 13 starts at Oracle Park, where he is 7-0 with a 1.78 ERA. Here, we lay on National League home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 with a slugging percentage of .430 or better, starting a pitcher who is working on 5 or 6 days of rest going up against a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.25 or better. This situation is 43-16 (72.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (972) San Francisco Giants |

10-12-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -155 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES DODGERS for our MLB Tuesday Sweet Spot. San Francisco is coming off a 1-0 win on Monday to take a 2-1 series lead in this NLDS. The Giants are now only one win away from advancing to their first National League Championship Series since 2014. They will attempt to advance to the next round on Tuesday night but with the Dodgers against the wall, we expect Los Angeles to send this series back to San Francsico for the decisive Game Five. The Dodgers finished with the best home record in the National League during the regular season at 58-23 so getting shutout last night was a bit of a surprise. Anthony DeSclafani has had a solid season, going 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 31 starts. He faced the Dodgers three times this season and had one really solid start but still posted a 4.30 ERA while striking out just 15 and walking six hitters. In 13 starts this season, Tony Gonsolin allowed three runs or fewer in all of those and while he did not go deep too often, he has picked it up of late after heading back into the rotation in September. The Dodgers are 18-2 in home games after scoring and allowing three runs or less this season while going 13-3 in their last 16 games when their opponent allows two runs or less in their previous game. 10* (964) Los Angeles Dodgers |

10-11-21 | Rays -112 v. Red Sox | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Monday Sweet Spot. This is obviously a must win for Tampa Bay after a heartbreaking loss on Sunday in 13 innings. It was one of their worst offensive games of the season as the Rays finished just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position, stranding 10 runners overall while striking out 20 times, tied for fourth most in a single postseason game. Their top guns have not shown up this postseason so this could be the breakout game they need as Brandon Lowe is 0-for-14 with six strikeouts, Mike Zunino is 1-for-12 with six strikeouts, and Kevin Kiermaier is 1-for-11. Tapa Bay has yet to name a starter and will likely be Collin McHugh or Michael Wacha, neither of which did not pitch in Game Three, and which ever one goes will need to eat some innings after the bullpen was emptied on Sunday. Boston will turn to Eduardo Rodriguez who was 13-8 with a 4.74 ERA during regular season and he posted just five outs and 41 pitches in the 5-0 loss in Game One. The Rays are 5-1 in their last six games against left-handed starters while the Red Sox are 6-15 in their last 21 games as an underdog. 10* (955) Tampa Bay Rays |

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our Wild Card Game of the Month. Boston was able to take Game Two, and by a wide margin, to take over home field advantage in this best-of-five series. The Red Sox piled up 14 runs on 20 hits after trailing 5-2 after the first inning. The series shifts to Boston and the Rays are the value team today. The Rays will send Drew Rasmussen to the mound on Sunday. It was in Boston where Rasmussen made his transition into the rotation on Aug. 12 and since then, he has been a model of consistency, putting together a 1.46 ERA in eight starts. Nathan Eovaldi counters for the Red Sox and while he has been solid this season, he has not had a great career at home as he has a 3.76 ERA at Fenway Park. Boston is 8-20 in its last 28 home games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .540 and .620. The Rays are 5-0 in their last five games following a loss. Here, we play against favorites off an upset win against a divisional rival as an underdog of +130 or higher against opponent off a loss by eight runs or more to a division rival. This situation is 27-12 (69.2 percent) since 1997. 10* (931) Tampa Bay Rays |

10-09-21 | Dodgers v. Giants +102 | Top | 9-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. Despite having the better record and winning the season series, the Giants came in a bit of an underdog in the NLDS. They put that to rest with a 4-0 victory in Game One and while many will be backing the Dodgers to bounce back, we expect the momentum to carry San Francisco to a 2-0 series lead. They were never a power team but the Giants hit a franchise record 241 home runs this season, second most in baseball. They also allowed the fewest home runs this season so that combo is a big benefit in this series and it showed in Game One. Kevin Gausman gets the ball for the Giants and after some second half issues, he came on late as a mechanical adjustment helped Gausman recapture his All-Star form over his final two starts of the regular season. Here, we play on National League home teams with a slugging percentage of .440 or better going up against a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.25 or better starting a pitcher who is working on five or six days of rest. This situation is 71-24 (74.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (928) San Francisco Giants |

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES for our MLB Game of the Week. We like Atlanta as the underdog here and the number has actually gone up. Milwaukee has not been quite as good at home (45-36) as on the road (50-31). Chalie Morton faced the Brewers once this season and while it resulted in a 2-1 loss, he tossed a quality outing, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out six and waking none over six innings. He went 14-6 with a 3.34 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 10.5 K/9 across 185.2 innings spanning 33 starts in the regular season and he is 7-3 in 13 postseason appearances, including 12 starts. The Braves finished third in the majors with 239 homers as Austin Riley had 33 homers, Freddie Freeman 31, and Ozzie Albies 30. Here, we play against National League home teams with an OBP of .310 or worse going up against a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.25 with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.100 over his last 10 games. This situation is 38-19 (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (919) Atlanta Braves |

10-07-21 | Red Sox v. Rays -148 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the TAMPA BAY RAYS for our MLB Thursday Sweet Spot. After dropping four straight to the Red Sox early in the season, Tampa Bay won 11 of the final 15 meetings on the way to claiming its second straight AL East crown by eight games. The strength is pitching although the offense is not too shabby either. The Rays pitching staff features seven pitchers who finished games for the team in 2021 and bullpen that is one of the best in baseball despite 11 pitchers on the 60-day injured list. Tampa Bay was the only team in the American League with 100 wins. The Red Sox beat the Yankees 6-2 at home in the AL wild-card game Tuesday night, advancing to face the Rays. This was a surprising story as Boston was not expected to make the postseason and this is its first playoff experience since 2018. Red Sox pitchers allowed nearly a hit an inning (fifth-worst in baseball) so Tampa Bay can take advantage of this. The Red Sox are 4-12 in their last 16 games as a road underdog while the Rays are 24-8 in their last 32 games after allowing one run or less this season. 10* (914) Tampa Bay Rays |

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. The Dodgers are the heavy favorites here and probably for good reason considering they won 106 games. But this is too much of a price to pay considering the Cardinals finished as the hottest team in baseball to end the regular season with 17 wins over their last 20 games. St. Louis has won six straight road games and finished 45-36 on the season. Whie Max Scherzer has been dominant, Adam Wainwright had great season as well as he was 17-7 in the regular season with a 3.05 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 7.6 K/9 across 32 starts. Cardinals are 11-1 in their last 12 games as an underdog. Here, we play against home favorites with a money line of -175 to -250 after six or more consecutive wins, with a winning record on the season. This situation is 27-27 (50 percent) over the last five seasons with a +24.2 unit profit. 10* (939) St. Louis Cardinals |

As far as the season series, Boston earned home-field advantage thanks to its 10-9 head-to-head record against the Yankees. Red 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 teams when the money line is +125 to -125 team with a slugging percentage of or worse.410 and hitting .215 or worse going up against a starting pitcher whose WHIP 1.30 or better.
