09-03-16 | Western Michigan +5.5 v. Northwestern | 22-21 | Win | 100 | 108 h 35 m | Show | |
Western Michigan Broncos +5.5 The Broncos get set to take on Northwestern Saturday afternoon and the MAC powerhouse holds value plus the points. Western Michigan's offense is far more consistent and talented than the Wildcats. The Broncos return almost all their offensive starters, including star QB Zack Terrell. Terrell threw for 3522 yards last season while completing 67% of his passes. He also had 29 touchdowns to his name, while impressively he threw just 9 interceptions. Terrell rarely forced the issue and never killed any drives with costly turnovers. To add to the group, RB Jamauri Bogan returns after a stellar season. Along side Terrell, Bogan finished with 1051 yards and 16 TDS. With how good Terrell was, his pass game opened a lot of holes for Bogan. On the flip side of things, the Wildcats offense was among one of the worst last season. They once again enter the season with a lot of questions and don't have enough here to keep up with the Broncos scoring. Some trends to note. Broncos are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. Broncos are 18-7 ATS in their last 25 games overall. The Broncos have been good in non conference games. Combine that with how much of an offensive gap there is here and the Broncos will have a really good shot at stealing this one outright. Back Western Michigan ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CFB ATS Play |

09-02-16 | Angels v. Mariners -112 | 8-11 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show | |
Seattle Mariners -112 The Mariners open a home series with the Angels here and at this price, Seattle has solid value. Seattle returns home after a tough trip and it's to the point now they have to start finding wins. They have fallen 4.0 games back in the Wild Card and have a compliment of teams to jump. Playing at home has been the most ideal situation for Seattle, going 36-28 while conceding just 4 runs per game. Ariel Miranda gets the ball and he continues to give Seattle a chance to win every start. In all 4 starts since being traded to the Mariners, he's allowed 3 runs or less. Some trends to note. Mariners are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Mariners are 9-3 in their last 12 Friday games. It's now or never for Seattle. Returning home for 7 games, they have to do some damage. At this price against a weaker Angels team, they hold solid value in this spot. Back Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB ML Play |

09-02-16 | Ball State v. Georgia State UNDER 52.5 | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 91 h 44 m | Show | |
Ball State vs. Georgia State Under 52.5 The Ball State Cardinals are in for a long season. Ball State lost head coach Pete Lembo. I always thought Lembo did a good job maximizing talent for the team. Lembo left to be an assistant coach for Maryland. In my opinion, this means he left at least in part because he didn't think the team had much going for it right now. Ball State returned 10 starters on offense last year and still only scored 23.1 points per game. They return six this year, and they will need to learn a new offense. There aren't enough playmakers here on offense, and the offensive line is a big question mark. Georgia State loses star quarterback Nick Arbuckle. Arbuckle was the offense for Georgia State. Without him, I expect them to struggle quite a bit. Arbuckle threw for 4,368 yards last year, and now they have a quarterback with zero experience starting under center. Big downgrade. The Georgia State defense allowed 43.3 points per game two years ago and only 28.3 points per game last year. They return nine guys this season, and they should be improved again. A couple trends of note. The under is 5-0 in Georgia State's last 5 home games. The under is 7-2 in Ball State's last 9 non-conference games. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CFB O/U Play |

09-01-16 | Indiana v. Florida International OVER 61 | 34-13 | Loss | -107 | 67 h 19 m | Show | |
Indiana vs. Florida International Over 61 Indiana hits the road to open their season and enters into a difficult game against a Florida International team that has a lot of aspirations. The one thing that both teams have in common is consistent offenses. Indiana did lose their starting QB and RB from last season, but they enter 2016 in good hands. They'll have RB Devine Redding, who played a giant role in the teams running game last season back  for starters. Along side him, QB Richard Lagow comes in as a Juco transfer, but has had plenty of success in his past. This Hoosiers team likes to work quick and still has the speed and explosion to get down field quickly. More good news...their defense is just as bad as last year. They'll have a task going against a Panthers offense that returns almost all their starters, including QB Alex McGough who threw for 2700 yards and 21 touchdowns. He'll have a field day against a weak secondary here for Indiana. Some trends to note. Over is 39-15-1 in Hoosiers last 55 games overall. Over is 9-1-1 in Golden Panthers last 11 home games. Both teams return a lot and have sketchy defenses. They've been Over teams in the past and this one should be no different. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CFB O/U Play |

09-01-16 | Padres v. Braves UNDER 8.5 | 6-9 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
San Diego vs. Atlanta Under 8.5 The Padres and Braves have a quick turnaround on Thursday afternoon and the Under holds solid value here. With the quick turnaround comes getaway day for both teams. Following the comest the Padres and Braves will head out of Atlanta. In circumstances like this, both teams not only have a lot on their minds, but also tend to swing a lot more early in the counts. Pitching wise this is a nice spot for both. Jarred Cosart enters making his 5th career start against the Braves. Cosart has had plenty of success against Atlanta going 3-0 with an ERA of just 2.63. On the other side of things, Mike Foltynewicz has not lost since August 2nd for the Braves. He's been dominant over a 3 start span, allowing 1 ER in each of the starts. Some trends to note. Under is 4-1 in Johnsons last 5 games behind home plate vs. San Diego. Under is 5-1 in Padres last 6 during game 3 of a series. Given the quick turnaround and getaway day here, this is a nice spot to expect a lot of success from the starting pitchers. With that, runs could be at a premium here. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play |

08-31-16 | Yankees v. Royals -119 | 5-4 | Loss | -119 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Kansas City Royals -119 The Royals open up as slim favorites on Wednesday night and at the listed price, they hold solid value here. Kansas City has been good in the 2nd half at not allowing losses to come in bunches. After falling 5-4 on Tuesday, this is a perfect bounce back spot with Ian Kennedy on the hill. The RH has won 3 straight starts and has allowed just 5 runs over a 6 start span. Over that 6 start span, Kennedy has struck out 36 batters. This Royals team is just simply a different team when they play at home. Kansas City is still 41-22 despite last nights loss. They do just about everything right as they average 4.7 runs per game while conceding only 4.2. Some trends to note. Royals are 13-3 in their last 16 games vs. a right-handed starter. Royals are 18-5 in their last 23 games on grass. The Royals have still been playing the best baseball of the season as of late despite losing on Tuesday. With Kennedy on the hill, this is a nice spot and price for the Royals. Back Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

08-30-16 | Marlins v. Mets -117 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
New York Mets -117 The Mets and Marlins continue their series on Tuesday night and New York is worth the move here at this price. Sometimes a walk off can be that jolt to the arm that teams need. Yoennis Cespedes blasted a walk off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning on Monday to send the Mets to an all important win. The Mets and Marlins now both sit 2.5 games out of a Wild Card spot. New York sends out Seth Lugo, who has won back to back games. Lugo has been impressive in his first couple starts in the MLB, posting 24 strikeouts over 28.2 innings of work. He's been extremely efficient and has kept the ball down, which has been the most important. Tom Koehler counters and he's in the midst of a cold streak. Koehler has gone winless in 3 straight starts and hasn't faired well in his career against the Mets. Koehler has gone 2-6 with an ERA of 4.13 in 19 career games against the Mets (16 starts). Some trends to note. Mets are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Mets are 14-6 in their last 20 home games vs. a team with a winning record. With the Mets having the slight edge pitching wise and the momentum after last night, this is a nice spot for the Mets at the listed price. Back New York ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* MLB ML Play |

08-29-16 | Blue Jays v. Orioles OVER 10 | 5-1 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
Toronto vs. Baltimore Over 10 The Blue Jays and Orioles begin a crucial AL East series on Monday and with the listed starters, the Over has a lot of value here. Both teams have plenty of offensive firepower to put up crooked numbers. Mark Trumbo and Josh Donaldson headline that list, both coming off impressive weekend series'. Pitching wise, Marco Estrada gets the ball for the Jays. Estrada has seen his ERA gone up by more than half a run after his last two starts. Estrada was knocked around for 6 runs on 10 hits against a weak Angels lineup last time out. For Baltimore, Wade Miley gets the ball. Miley is 1-3 in his career against the Jays and sits with an ERA of 6.04. Some trends to note. Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings. Over is 7-3 in Orioles last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter. Both starting pitchers are going to struggle here. A hitters ballpark, with two offenses that are red hot equals a lot of runs in this one. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB O/U Play |

08-28-16 | Cardinals +1 v. Texans | 24-34 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
Arizona +1 The Cardinals and Texans play in Week 3 preseason action here and the Over has solid value. Arizona saw their offense look rather weak through the first two games of the preseason and with this being a very important week, the Cardinals first team will get a lot of time here. The coaching staff and even the front office stepped in saying the team can't just go into the season and expect things to all fall into place. There seems to be a lot of question marks after seeing what unfolded the first two games, making the staff really want production here in this game. QB Carson Palmer went 4 of 8 last game and managed to throw an interception in the short time he was in the contest. Palmer will likely play a lot of the first quarter and with the way the concerns were raised, he may even get a lot of time into the 2nd. Some trends to note. Cardinals are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 road games. With how Arizona is treating this game, look for a lot of urgency here. Expect them to come out with a little bit of fire, which is all you need in a preseason game. Back Arizona. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NFLX ATS Play |
|||||||
08-28-16 | Reds +105 v. Diamondbacks | 2-11 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
Cincinnati Reds +105 Anthony DeSclafani pitched a complete game shutout for the Reds on Saturday night. That was important because it saved the Reds bullpen. That Reds bullpen has been much better of late now that Raisel Iglesias and Michael Lorenzen are in the pen. Arizona's bullpen is the worst in baseball by a wide margin right now. The Diamondbacks only got two innings out of their starter last night, and they didn't even have a day off on Thursday like the Reds did. This Diamondbacks team needs a big start out of Archie Bradley, and I don't think they'll get it. Bradley has been awful with a 6.16 ERA at home this year. Bradley isn't likely to fool this Reds lineup, that has actually been swinging the bats really well of late. Homer Bailey has had mostly good outings so far this year, and he gives the Reds the clear pitching edge. Back Cincinnati. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB ML Play |

08-27-16 | Rams v. Broncos -5 | 9-17 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
Denver Broncos -5 The Broncos and Rams play in the all important third game of the preseason, where starters get more time on the field. When it comes to Denver, this is also a huge game for the QB battle. The Broncos have used both Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian this preseason, as they battle it out for the number one spot. This game, they'll get their starting receivers and running backs for much longer, giving them both a chance to really take a step forward in the battle. The Broncos have split their first two preseason games, but have showed very good signs on the offensive end. You're going to get both QBs top games and have them taking shots down the field. Denver will open the playbook a bit here and really start putting these QBs in situations where they have to perform. That bodes well for them against the number here. Some trends to note. Rams are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Rams are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games. Expect Denver to really get the better of the two teams here. It means a whole lot more to them, especially with that QB battle going on. Back Denver ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NFLX ATS Play |

08-27-16 | Reds v. Diamondbacks OVER 9.5 | 13-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
Cincinnati vs. Arizona Over 9.5 The Reds and Diamondbacks continue their weekend series on Saturday night and the Over here has solid value. Both starting pitchers have struggled, especially as of late. Anthony DeSclafani gets the ball for Cincinnati as he enters play a loser in 2 of his last 3 starts. He was knocked around for 4 runs last time out and hasn't faired well in his career against Arizona. The RH has gone 0-2 with an ERA of 7.36. For the Diamondbacks, Zack Godley toes the rubber. He was rocked his last time out, allowing 7 runs to a weak Braves lineup. Back on July 24th, Godley allowed 5 runs on 10 hits to the Reds. Some trends to note. Over is 38-16-1 in Diamondbacks last 55 on grass. Over is 13-5 in Reds last 18 overall. Chase Field has been a solid Over park. Given that and the struggles of both starters, expect to see a lot of runs here in this one today. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play |

08-26-16 | Cubs -116 v. Dodgers | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
Chicago Cubs -116 The Cubs and Dodgers begin a series on the west coast Friday night and any time you can find the Cubs sitting at this price, it's almost too valuable to pass up. Chicago's pitching staff has been absolutely dominant. It doesn't matter who gets thrown out there, the Cubs haven't had any problems. This month, Chicago starters have gone 15-1 with an ERA of just 1.83. Chicago gets a look at Bud Norris for the Dodgers here, who hasn't been anything special since joining the Dodgers rotation. Norris has compiled an ERA of 5.67 in his time with Los Angeles. Some trends to note. Cubs are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Cubs are 22-5 in their last 27 overall. Chicago has been something else here in the 2nd half of the season. Look for them to get out early on Norris, something they've been doing all road trip. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

08-26-16 | Twins v. Blue Jays OVER 10 | 8-15 | Win | 105 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Minnesota vs. Toronto Over 10 The Twins and Blue Jays square off on Friday night and the Over here has a lot of value. Minnesota will be playing with a chip on their shoulder here, getting a shot familiar foe Francisco Liriano. It's always fun to get to face a pitcher who used to be your ace and it even amps the players up a little bit. It's been a while since Liriano has been with the Twins, so he's seen them a few times. In his career, he has gone 2-1 with a 5.66 ERA in 4 starts. Minnesota has had some success against him and has been able to drive his pitch count up every time they see him. Toronto will face off against Pat Dean. The LH has bounced back and forth from the rotation to bullpen and it's not helping his cause. He's been extremely inefficient, posting a 5 plus ERA this season. Some trends to note. Over is 5-2-1 in Blue Jays last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Over is 33-15-4 in Twins last 52 road games. Both teams will have plenty of opportunities to score here. Given that, expect a back and forth battle, with the Over holding a lot of value. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

08-25-16 | Orioles v. Nationals -1.5 | 0-4 | Win | 102 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Washington Nationals -1.5 +102 The Orioles and Nationals conclude their home and home 4 game set and Washington is trying to avoid the 4 game sweep here. Washington is in a prime position tonight, given the pitching matchup. Ubaldo Jimenez gets the ball for the Orioles, moving back into the rotation after getting knocked out. Jimenez has been nothing short of miserable this season in the rotation and overall really. He is 5-10 on the season with an ERA of 6.94. Max Scherzer will counter him and Washington is extremely thankful to have him going in this spot. Scherzer will be playing the stopper role and has relished in that role. When it comes to playing AL teams, he's been dominant as well, posting an ERA of 1.17 this season. Some trends to note. Nationals are 6-2 in their last 8 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter. Nationals are 29-13 in their last 42 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game. This is a very nice spot for Washington. They get a giant pitching edge and with a little revenge on their minds from the previous 3 nights, expect a lopsided win here. Back Washington RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* MLB RL Play |

08-25-16 | Angels v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
Angels vs. Blue Jays Over 9.5 The Los Angeles Angels send Jered Weaver to the mound in this one. There has been talk recently that Weaver may retire after this season, and with the way he has pitched, I think he should. Weaver has been putting men on base in every possible way of late, and his 81 mph fastballs aren't fooling anyone. The Blue Jays are expected to get Jose Bautista back for this game. Bautista is so important for this lineup, and I expected an immediate boost. Toronto is going to get plenty of pitches to rip with Weaver on the mound for the Angels. J.A. Happ has pitched well this year, but he has certainly gotten some good luck when it comes to batted ball luck and runners left on base. Happ's long-term numbers against the Angels aren't very good. The Angels have the benefit of a red hot Albert Pujols hitting right behind Mike Trout right now as well. Both teams will score several times in this one. A couple trends of note. The over is 3-1-1 in Weaver's last 5 starts in Toronto. The over is 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings between these two teams. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play |

08-25-16 | Tigers -114 v. Twins | 8-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Detroit Tigers -114 The Tigers and Twins play on getaway day Thursday afternoon and it's Detroit at this price that has a lot of value. The Tigers have had the Twins number this week, taking the first two games of the series in convincing fashion. They get a look at Jose Berrios here, who has been a mess this season. The rookie has compiled an ERA of 9.28 in 8 starts this season. Back on May 16, things for Berrios were a mess against the Tigers. The LH went just 0.2 innings while getting smacked around for 7 runs. Berrios just hasn't been good overall, but as of late he's been extremely inconsistent. The RH has given up 24 runs on 27 hits through a 5 start span. Some trends to note. Tigers are 8-2 in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Tigers are 21-6 in their last 27 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. This is just too good of a price to pass up on with Detroit. Look for them to come out here and get to Berrios early again, setting the tone for the series finale. Back Detroit ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB ML Play |

08-24-16 | Giants +125 v. Dodgers | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 56 m | Show | |
San Francisco Giants +125 The Los Angeles Dodgers won as a home underdog yesterday against Madison Bumgarner and the Giants. The Dodgers now lead the NL West by two games. There's no doubt that the wheels have fallen off in the last few weeks for the Giants, but this is a team that has had a ton of success in the past few years, and I definitely believe they have a run left in them. Johnny Cueto is on the mound for them here, and Cueto has been a very solid pickup for the Giants this season. Rich Hill starts for the Dodgers. While there is no denying that hill was great for Oakland earlier this year, it should be noted that Hill hasn't pitched in a big league game since July 17. The Giants have won plenty of games in Los Angeles in key situations in the past, and this underdog price is too much to overlook given the situations. A couple trends of note. The Giants are 11-2 in Cueto's last 13 road starts. The Giants are 16-5 in Cueto's last 21 starts overall. Back San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

08-24-16 | Phillies v. White Sox OVER 9.5 | 5-3 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 10 m | Show | |
Philadelphia vs. Chicago Over 9.5 After an offensive explosion by the White Sox on Tuesday, the Phillies and Sox get set for battle once again here on Wednesday. More runs can be expected here, giving value on the Over. James Shields gets the ball for Chicago and whenever he takes the mound, it's an adventure. He has allowed 7 runs in back to back outings and conceded 3 home runs last time out in a 9-0 loss to Oakland. Shields has been consistent with allowing the home run ball and has gone 0-3 in the month of August while allowing 28 runs. Jerad Eickhoff counters for Philadelphia and he too has been a roller coaster ride. Eickhoff is just 8-12 on the season and has lost 7 of his 10 road starts. In his last one, he did earn the win, but surrendered 5 runs in the process. Some trends to note. Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Chicago. Given the matchup here, this one will see a lot of base runners and scoring chances. Expect a high scoring game that can go either way. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

08-24-16 | Rangers -1.5 v. Reds | 6-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
Texas Rangers -1.5 +100 The Rangers and Reds conclude their series on Wednesday and this is a bounce back situation for Texas. With their ace on the mound, following a shutout loss, this a nice spot to lay the RL. Texas has one the best, if not the best, offense in the MLB. Shutting them out inside a hitters ballpark like Great American Ballpark is just plain rare. This lineup will come out with a vengeance on Wednesday night. Pitching wise, Yu Darvish continues to be dominant. He has tossed 6 straight quality starts and has allowed just 4 runs in 3 straight wins. Darvish has been impressive in terms of his own play on the road, posting an ERA of 2.66. Some trends to note. Rangers are 4-1 in their last 5 interleague road games vs. a team with a losing record.  Rangers are 12-4 in their last 16 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Against Tim Adleman, in a hitters ballpark, with revenge and some frustration to take out, this is a beautiful spot to expect a lot of Texas runs and a lopsided win for the Rangers on Wednesday. Back Texas RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play |

08-23-16 | Braves v. Diamondbacks OVER 9.5 | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
Atlanta vs. Arizona Over 9.5 The Braves and Diamondbacks go at it again on Tuesday night and the Over has a lot of value here. On Monday, these two teams got into a shootout inside Chase Field, as Arizona came from behind to capture a 9-8 win. The total at Chase Field is becoming a similar one to the Coors Field totals. Arizona has seen the Over go 39-21-2 at home this season. The Diamondbacks average 4.8 runs, while conceding 6.18. Archie Bradley gets the ball, as he has gone winless in his last 4 starts. Bradley has allowed 22 runs on 29 hits in 18.0 innings of work during the winless stretch. Rob Whalen counters here for Atlanta, as he continues to work up his arm strength in the MLB. Whalen hasn't lasted long in games, and enters play with a 5.73 ERA. He'll face a lineup that is tough top to bottom and always seems to have runners on. Some trends to note. Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings in Arizona. Over is 9-4-2 in Bradleys last 15 starts following a team loss in their previous game. In this spot, with these pitchers, both offenses are going to have success. Look for a lot of run scoring chances, as the total has the potential to fly Over here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play |

08-23-16 | Royals -107 v. Marlins | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
Kansas City Royals ML Why try to get in front of this train? Kansas City is the hottest team in baseball right now. The Royals have had all kinds of injuries this year, and they were left for dead by almost everyone. Here they are in the middle of the playoff race yet again. Yordano Ventura hasn't had a very impressive season overall, but his strikeout rate is up a lot in the past month, and that's a very good sign. Ventura has high end stuff, and if he continues to induce as many swings and misses as he has lately he should finish the season strongly. Andrew Cashner has never been a guy that can be trusted. Cashner shows a lot of promise because of his skill set, but he just isn't consistent at all. A lot of pitchers aren't consistent from game to game, but Cashner isn't consistent inside one game. A couple of trends worth noting in this one. The Royals are 4-0 in Ventura's last 4 starts. The Marlins are 4-10 in their last 14 games vs. a right handed starter. Take Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

08-23-16 | Nationals v. Orioles -138 | 1-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Baltimore Orioles -138 Baltimore caught a break in game 1 of this interleague series and will look to make it back to back wins against the Nationals here on Tuesday night. With the pitching edge, they hold value at this price. The Orioles were schedule to face Stephen Strasburg in the series opener. However, he was placed on the DL prior to the start of the game and they were given a Triple A pitcher to work with. Baltimore took the series opener and will now get another young pitcher to face. Reynaldo Lopez gets the ball for Washington, making just his 3rd start since being recalled. This will be his first start against the Orioles, as he'll see this powerful lineup that averages 5 runs per game. Some trends to note. Orioles are 7-2 in their last 9 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. Orioles are 38-14 in their last 52 home games vs. a right-handed starter. This Orioles team is not 41-22 by accident at home. Given their success inside Camden Yards, this is a nice spot to see them take advantage of the rookie and come away victorious again. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* MLB ML Play |

They shouldn't be this big of an underdog, so we have to fire on the Braves at this price. Mike Foltynewicz has a high upside and projects as a guy who could be a number two starter in the majors. Zack Godley is just a spot starter who projects more as a guy who can work out of the bullpen. The Braves bullpen is nothing special, but they are far better than the Arizona bullpen, which is easily the worst in baseball right now. Arizona's bullpen ERA in the past month is slightly above 7! The Diamondbacks have a miserable 21-40 record at home this year. Why would they be this big of a favorite against anyone? Some other interesting trends of note. The Braves are 4-1 in Foltynewicz's last 5 road starts. The Diamondbacks are 8-20 in their last 28 home games vs. a right handed starting pitcher. Take Atlanta. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play |

Chicago Cubs -1.5 +103 The Chicago Cubs fans have invaded Coors Field this weekend, making it feel almost like a home game. They put the wraps on this series Sunday afternoon, with the Cubs RL having a lot of value. Chicago pitchers have been dominant. This month they have gone 12-0 with a 1.50 ERA over an 18 start span with 14 quality starts. Jason Hammel enters 13-5 with a 2.75 ERA and has won all 6 starts since the break. He has allowed 2 runs or less on all 6 occasions, holding a 0.95 ERA. Jorge De La Rosa counters here for Colorado and the Rockies have dropped his last three starts and 5 of his last 6. Some trends to note. Cubs are 7-1 in their last 8 during game 3 of a series.Cubs are 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Chicago's offense is in full swing here. They've scored at least 3 runs in 19 straight games, always giving them a chance. This is a nice spot given the struggles of De La Rosa. Back Chicago RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB RL Play |

08-20-16 | Astros v. Orioles -140 | 12-2 | Loss | -140 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Baltimore Orioles -140 The Baltimore Orioles win the majority of the time when Chris Tillman takes the mound. The Orioles are a stunning 20-5 in Tillman's 25 starts this year. That is getting the job done. Of course some of that has to do with run support, but Tillman has been far better than most expected this season. Tillman has a 3.46 on the year despite playing in the American League East. He continues to be underrated based on the price of this game. Mike Fiers has been throwing the ball horribly of late. Fiers has a 6.27 ERA on the road this season. The Orioles have torched right handed pitching all year long. Baltimore can hit the long ball early and often, and Fiers has been hurt by that on the road this year. A few trends of note here. The Astros are 3-8 in Fiers' last 11 road starts. The Astros are also 1-6 in their last 7 road games vs a right handed starter. The Orioles are 45-19 in their last 64 home games. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

08-20-16 | Rangers v. Rays -104 | 2-8 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay Rays -104 The Rays and Rangers continue their series and Saturday and it's Tampa Bay who has value at the PK price. Yes the Rangers are in first and have been dominant, but the pitching matchup here shifts heavily in the direction of the Rays. AJ Griffin has been battling back from his Tommy John Surgery all season long and has seen a giant increase in his Era over the months. Griffin posted a 5.85 ERA in July and a 7.41 ERA in August. He's just not seeing any sort of improvements as the starts go on. Jake Odorizzi gets the ball for the Rays. He won his 4th straight decision last time out and sits with an impressive 7-5 record, despite his lack of offensive support. He allowed one run against Texas earlier this season, but earned a ND thanks to his offense. Some trends to note. Rays are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter. Rays are 9-3 in their last 12 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The significant edge pitching wise makes this worth the move here on Tampa Bay. Back Tampa Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* MLB ML Play |

08-19-16 | Cubs v. Rockies OVER 10.5 | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 0 m | Show | |
Chicago vs. Colorado Over 10.5 The Cubs and Rockies begin a weekend series inside Coors Field and look out. Putting this red hot Cubs team inside a hitters ballpark like Coors Field is a recipe for a very high scoring game. Chicago averages 5.30 runs per game and they come in off a 9 run performance against the Brewers that saw Kris Bryant go 5 for 5 with 2 home runs. Chicago has absolutely taken off as their offense continues to cause havoc against opposing pitchers. Kyle Hendricks gets the ball for them and while he is pitching well, his time against the Rockies hasn't been good. Hendricks has a 5.01 ERA against them in his career and actually lost to them earlier this season. Tyler Anderson counters here for Colorado and is coming off a loss against the Phillies that saw him get knocked around. It was the first real speed bump in what has been a solid rookie campaign, but going up against Chicago, in Colorado, after getting roughed up spells disaster here. Some trends to note. Over is 15-6 in the last 21 meetings in Colorado. Over is 5-2 in Rockies last 7 on grass. This has the makings of a very high scoring game. Don't think Colorado can't put up numbers here either. Expect both teams to have plenty of chances, with the total flying Over. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB O/U Play |

08-19-16 | A's -102 v. White Sox | 9-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
Oakland Athletics -102 This play isn't about backing the Oakland Athletics so much as it is about fading the Chicago White Sox. Chicago got in late last night after losing a heartbreaker to Cleveland in walkoff fashion. The White Sox played pretty well in that series, but that loss had to hurt. Additionally, the single biggest reason for this play is James Shields is starting for the White Sox here. Shields went through a brief period where he was at least serviceable again, but he is back to looking like the worst pitcher in the big leagues in his last few starts. Shields has allowed 21 runs in his last three starts. He has only pitched a total of 9 and 1/3 innings in those games. He isn't fooling anyone at all, and when he leaves the game the White Sox bullpen enters and they have been among the worst in baseball in the last couple months. A couple trends here. Oakland is 9-3 in Kendall Graveman's last 12 starts. The White Sox are 2-5 in Shields' last 7 starts. Take Oakland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

08-19-16 | Dolphins +2.5 v. Cowboys | 14-41 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Miami Dolphins +2.5 The Dolphins head into Dallas on Friday night and the visitors are worth a move here at +2.5. The one thing the Dolphins have is depth. While we won't see a majority of their starters for long, if not at all, they have plenty of reserves that have talent. We'll get a look at QBs Matt Moore and Brandon Doughty, two guys who are competing for the backup job and that have a lot of talent. Moore went 10/14 last week for 122 yards and a touchdown while Doughty added 66 yards on 7 of 9 passing. Both have plenty of potential and we'll see that here. As for Dallas, they spoiled the Rams opening game in LA, but their main focus is to simply stay healthy. The Cowboys were an extremely injured team last year, which led to their last place finish. Expect them to be very cautious here in the preseason with their top players as we won't see much of them. Some trends to note. Cowboys are 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 games on field turf. Cowboys are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Cowboys are not good in preseason play and that comes from not playing their players. This is a nice spot to back Miami here with the points. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

08-18-16 | Mets v. Giants UNDER 6.5 | 7-10 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 56 m | Show | |
New York vs. San Francisco Under 6.5 The Mets and Giants begin a 4 game set and the Under in the series opener is a valuable play. We get to see both teams aces on the hill and they're both in the midst of some hot pitching performances. Jacob deGrom gets the ball for the Mets and he brings in a stellar ERA of 2.30 on the season. deGrom has allowed just 2 runs over a 4 start span and continues to be absolutely dominate. In 3 games in his career against the Giants, he's been at his best. The star RH has compiled an ERA of just 0.84. Madison Bumgarner counters here for the Giants and he's been equally as good. Bumgarner has an ERA of just 2.11 and has allowed just 1 run in his last 15.0 innings of work. Against the Mets in 6.0 innings of work this season, Bumgarner didn't allow a run. He's been notably dominant against the Mets in his career as well. Some trends to note. Under is 6-1 in deGroms last 7 road starts. Under is 10-4 in Bumgarners last 14 starts on grass. With how good both pitchers have been in their careers against the opposing team, combined with how good they've been this season, this has the making a very low scoring game with runs coming at an extreme premium. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play |

08-18-16 | Mariners +106 v. Angels | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
Seattle Mariners +106 The Seattle Mariners didn't make it easy, but we cashed in by backing them last night over the Los Angeles Angels. We're going to back them once again tonight. There's no doubt that Matt Shoemaker has had a nice year for the Angels. Still, it's important to point out that the Angels haven't been successful in his games. The Angels are 7-16 overall in Shoemaker's starts this year. It hasn't been his fault most of the time, but the Angels have found ways to lose. On the other hand, Seattle is 16-8 in Hisashi Iwakuma's 24 starts this year. The Mariners and Angels appear to be headed in two totally different directions right now. The Angels are finding ways to lose games while the Mariners are finding ways to pull out the wins. In his last 3 starts, Iwakuma has a brilliant 1.37 ERA. Shoemaker is coming off a bad start, and he faces a Seattle team that is getting hot offensively of late. A couple of trends to note. The Mariners are 13-3 in Iwakuma's last 16 starts. The Angels are 5-16 in their last 21 games against a team with a winning record. It is hard to justify the Mariners being an underdog here. Back Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

08-18-16 | Marlins v. Reds UNDER 7.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 39 m | Show | |
Miami vs. Cincinnati Under 7.5 The Marlins and Reds put the wraps on a 4 game set and this is a case where both pitchers should find some success, which makes this Under valuable. Anytime Jose Fernandez takes the hill, it's going to be quite a show. Fernandez brings in an ERA of 2.81 on the season and as usual, has been the backbone to this rotation. Anytime they need a big start, Fernandez has stepped up. He comes into this one with some extra rest and if it's anything like his last start against the Reds, a big night is in store. Fernandez tossed 7.0 innings, while allowing just 1 unearned run. Dan Straily counters here and he has been sneaky good. 4-0 in his last 5 starts, the RH has allowed 3 runs or less in 8 straight outings. He went against Fernandez in that start earlier this season and allowed just 3 runs while grabbing the tough luck loss. Some trends to note. Under is 5-2 in Reds last 7 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. Under is 11-5 in Fernandezs last 16 starts on grass. This has the making of that start from earlier in the season. Both pitchers are in solid form and should execute well here. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* MLB O/U Play |

08-18-16 | Astros v. Orioles -112 | 5-13 | Win | 100 | 16 h 24 m | Show | |
Baltimore Orioles -112 The Orioles and Astros begin a 4 game set and at this price, at home, the Orioles have solid value. The wheels may be coming off for Houston here. They've dropped 4 in a row and haven't looked pretty doing it. They've been outscored 29-11 during the streak and have now slipped to 5.5 games back of the Orioles for the 2nd Wild Card. Kevin Gausman will get the ball for the Orioles here against Houston and he has been continuing to take steps in the right direction as of late. Gausman has allowed 2 runs in each of his last 3 outings. He comes in off a 9 strikeout performance against a very impressive Giants lineup. Baltimore has also been very dominate at home. Baltimore has gone 39-19 inside Camden Yards while scoring nearly 5 runs per contest. Some trends to note. Orioles are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Orioles are 38-14 in their last 52 home games vs. a right-handed starter. With how dominant they've been at home, combined with the improvements of Gausman, Baltimore has value here. Back Baltimore ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB ML Play |

08-17-16 | Mariners +133 v. Angels | 4-3 | Win | 133 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
Seattle Mariners +133 The Mariners look to avenge last night's tough loss here on Wednesday night. Seattle opens as a good sized underdog, which gives them solid value here. The Angels had dropped 11 straight prior to last nights win. This team is in no way good enough to be valued at this high of a price. Tyler Skaggs gets the ball for the Angels and comes in off a horrific loss. Skaggs allowed 7 runs on 10 hits in just 5.0 innings of work against the Indians. Skaggs is 0-1 with a 5 plus ERA in 3 career starts against the Mariners. Seattle calls up Cody Martin to make the start. Martin has already gotten his feet wet with some relief appearances earlier this season, so nerves won't be an issue here. Some trends to note. Mariners are 10-2 in their last 12 games following a loss. Mariners are 9-2 in their last 11 overall. Seattle needs to beat these kinds of opponents if they hope to snag a Wild Card spot. Given how bad the Angels have been, this is just too nice of a price on the Mariners. Back Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* MLB ML Play |

08-17-16 | Marlins v. Reds -106 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
Cincinnati Reds -106 The Miami Marlins start Andrew Cashner in this one. Cashner has been a big disappointment throughout the course of his career. Expectations were very high for him, and he hasn't even come close to matching those expectations. Cashner has a 5.08 ERA this year, which is the worst of his career thus far. He is giving up more hard contact than he has at any other point in his career. While the Reds offense certainly isn't a really strong one right now, they do have a red hot Joey Votto and the young guys are hitting pretty well. Homer Bailey has pitched extremely well since coming back to the majors. Bailey walked only one and struck out 11 in his last outing. Bailey is up against an injury depleted Marlins lineup that has been reeling in recent days. A couple trends to support this play. The Marlins are 0-4 in their last 4 vs. a right handed starter. The Reds are 4-1 in Bailey's last 5 home starts vs. a team with a winning record. Back Cincinnati. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* MLB ML Play |

Boston Red Sox -115 The Red Sox and Orioles play in another crucial affair on Wednesday night and the Red Sox at this price with David Price on the mound hold solid value. Boston grabbed a win in the series opener on Tuesday and will now have a chance for a short two game sweep. These head to head matches are so important in the AL East as three teams cannot afford to slip up at any point. David Price gets the ball as he finally has some momentum to build off of. Price went 8.0 innings, allowing 3 runs in a win over Arizona. The last time he faced Baltimore, he struck out 11 over 8.0 innings of work inside Fenway Park. Mookie Betts has been the ignitor to this team as of late. Betts had a three run and a two run home runs on Tuesday, as he accounted for all 5 runs for the Sox. Betts has been torching opposing pitching lately and has 7 home runs this season against the Orioles. Look for him to be the key tonight that sparks this offense once again. Some trends to note. Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Red Sox are 7-3 in their last 10 vs. American League East. The Red Sox are playing some good ball right now. Given the red hot Betts and with Price on the hill here, this is a nice spot to grab Boston. Back Boston ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

08-16-16 | Nationals v. Rockies OVER 11.5 | 2-6 | Loss | -117 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Washington vs. Colorado Over 11.5 The Nationals and Rockies continue their series on Tuesday and the Over here has value. Rockies starter Chad Bettis will be making his first career start against the Nationals and this is an extremely tough lineup to have to deal with. Washington averages above 5 runs per game and the Rockies saw a healthy Bryce Harper in the lineup on Monday as he delivered an RBI double to complete the come back. Bettis was rocked last time out, allowing 5 runs in 5.0 innings of work. Gio Gonzalez gets the ball for Washington here, trying to rebound from a shaky start himself. Gonzalez allowed 4 runs in 5.0 innings of work against Cleveland. He'll get an extremely hot offense that is very productive at home, as the Rockies average well above 6 runs per game. Gonzalez isn't an overpowering pitcher, which is going to cause some problems for him here in this ballpark. Some trends to note. Over is 6-2 in Bettis' last 8 home starts. Over is 9-2 in Nationals last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Expect both teams to have scoring opportunities in this one. Both offenses are very impressive and should find success against the opposing starter. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

08-16-16 | White Sox v. Indians UNDER 7.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
Chicago vs. Cleveland Under 7.5 AL Central rivals open up a 3 game set on Tuesday night and the Under here has solid value. Both starting pitchers have not only had very successful seasons, but they've also had very successful careers against the opposing team. Jose Quintana gets the ball for Chicago, as he brings in a record of 9-8 with a 2.85 ERA. Quintana has won 4 straight decisions and continues to pitch very effectively deep into ballgames. The LH has compiled a 5-2 record in 16 career outings against the Indians, while holding an ERA of 2.68. At Progressive Field, things get even better. He is 2-0 with an ERA of 1.17. For the Indians, Corey Kluber has hit his stride. Kluber is 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA in his last 6 starts. He is 5-4 in his career against the White Sox with a very respectable ERA of 3.47. With how good he has been lately, things are certainly going to be tough for Chicago hitters, who really don't hit well on the road as they average under 4 runs per game. Some trends to note. Under is 28-12-2 in the last 42 meetings. Under is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings in Cleveland. These teams play Under games and with both starters here, this is a nice spot to see a low scoring game. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play |

08-16-16 | Blue Jays v. Yankees +107 | 12-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
New York Yankees ML The New York Yankees are playing with some extra fire of late. It looks like the youth movement from the Yankees has helped the team chemistry and gotten things going in the right direction. Marco Estrada starts for the Blue Jays. While he has a good ERA, all the advanced data suggests he is due for regression. The Yankees offense has been hitting the ball well of late, and I think this is a difficult matchup for him. Michael Pineda has gotten some rotten luck this year. Pineda has been striking out batters at the highest rate of his career, but has had bad luck with batted balls in play. I think he is a guy that there is value on right now with better days likely ahead. The Blue Jays haven't been the dominant team some expected them to be this year. They are still being priced like they are that dominant team. We'll side with the home underdog here. A couple trends to back this one. The Blue Jays are 16-35 in their last 51 games at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are 4-1 in Pineda's last 5 starts. Take New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

08-15-16 | Mets +104 v. Diamondbacks | 6-10 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
New York Mets +104 The Mets are looking for revenge when they open up their series in Arizona on Monday night. At small underdogs here, New York holds value. The Mets were swept away by the Diamondbacks just last week, but none of that is Bartolo Colon's fault, who gets the ball here Monday. Colon went 7.0 innings of work with just 1 run allowed. Colon has been one of the best bottom of the rotation pitchers in baseball as he continues to give the Mets opportunities to win almost every time he takes the mound. To make matters even better here, Arizona is horrific at home. They enter play Monday holding a 19-39 record inside Chase Field. Some trends to note. Mets are 4-1 in their last 5 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Mets are 23-6 in their last 29 Monday games. New York plays exceptionally well on Monday's which are series openers. Given that and Colon's success lately, look for the Mets to get a little revenge here in the series opener. Back New York ML.

Cincinnati Reds +127 The Reds and Marlins open a series on Monday and the Reds at this price hold value. The Marlins are in a lot of trouble. After making a push at the Wild Card, they received news on Sunday that Giancarlo Stanton will be out for the remainder of the season with a groin injury. The team is now seeking outside help to try and replace his bat. While the mindset is kind of shot for the Marlins and their players after the devastating news, they run into a team that has been relishing in the spoiler role in the 2nd half of the season. The Reds send out Brandon Finnegan, who has pitched very well lately. Finnegan walked away with a ND in his last start after allowing 3 runs. While the start wasn't bad, it may have been magnified a little bit as he went 12.0 inning straight of scoreless baseball prior to that. Some trends to note. Reds are 10-1 in their last 11 games following a loss. Reds are 4-1 in their last 5 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. The Reds hold value here. They haven't backed down or thrown the towel in during the 2nd half of the season. With the Marlins mood kind of down following the Stanton news, this is a nice spot for the Reds to steal one. Back Cincinnati ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* MLB ML Play |

St. Louis vs. Chicago Over 9 The Cubs and Cardinals conclude their NL Central series on Sunday Night Baseball and the Over here has value to work with. These are two of the best offenses being featured here. The Cardinals average 5.52 runs per game, as they are the best road team in the National League. As for the Cubs, they are right there, posting 5.09 runs per game. Mike Leake gets the ball for St. Louis and against this red hot Cubs team, that doesn't sink in any good feelings. Leake has a 7.39 ERA since the break, contributing in no way to the Cardinals. He is going to certainly struggle here against the a Cubs team that lost for the first time in August yesterday. Some trends to note. Over is 6-1 in Bellinos last 7 games behind home plate vs. St. Louis. Over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Chicago. The Over has been quite the trend when these two teams meet inside Wrigley. Given that and the starters here, this is a nice spot to see a lot of runs on the national front. Back the Over.

08-14-16 | Rockies -112 v. Phillies | 6-7 | Loss | -112 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
Colorado Rockies ML The Colorado Rockies start Tyler Chatwood here. Chatwood has some amazing numbers on the road this year. He is 6-0 with a 1.30 ERA on the road. Chatwood has struggled at Coors Field, but when he gets away from that park he has been dominant. The Philadelphia Phillies certainly don't have a good offense. The Phillies are looking for a series sweep here, and I think it will be a difficult task for them. With Chatwood on the hill, I don't expect many runs for the Phillies. At the same time, Adam Morgan starts for the Phillies, and that isn't a good thing. Morgan had a 6.65 ERA on the year, and was sent down to Triple A. Now, he is back, but I don't expect better results from him. Morgan has a serious home run problem (2.17 HR's per 9 innings), and this is a dangerous team to face when you have that kind of issue. Look for Colorado to get the win on Sunday afternoon. Back Colorado. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB ML Play |

08-13-16 | Angels v. Indians -115 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
Cleveland Indians -115 The Indians and Angels continue their weekend series and despite the Indians sending their rookie pitcher to the mound, the line here is very valuable. Cleveland has destroyed the Angels in the first two games of this series, putting up 27 runs on 31 hits. Jose Ramirez and Mike Napoli continue to rip the cover off the ball as the 4-5 hitters are driving in runs almost every time they step to the plate. Mike Clevinger gets the ball here, looking for his first win still. He did pitch better last time out against the Twins, but his pitch count caught up with him, resulting in just 4.1 innings of work. Clevinger just has to avoid Trout and Pujols, as the rest of this Angels offense is very inconsistent. Matt Shoemaker counters him and he has been a struggle lately. Shoemaker fell to 1-3 in his last 4 starts with another loss on Sunday. He now sits at 6-12 on the season and 3-8 with a 4.89 ERA away from Angels Stadium. Some trends to note. Indians are 6-0 in their last 6 vs. American League West. Indians are 23-8 in their last 31 vs. a team with a losing record. The Indians offense is teeing off right now. If Clevinger can record anything close to a quality start here, the Indians should be able to pull this one out. Back Cleveland ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB ML Play |

LA Rams -5 The Rams open a new era of football on Saturday night when they play their preseason opener in Los Angeles. Rams head coach Jeff Fisher won't be taking this preseason lightly. He knows he must get this team going early as his name is first on the hot seat. After 4 straight losing seasons, he becomes the first coach to keep his job. These are just two teams who have different agendas this preseason. After a debacle of injuries last year, the Cowboys want to simply stay healthy this preseason. In fact, that's been the common theme for them over the years. Dallas lost their first 2 preseason games last year 40-13. LA on the other hand, will have Jared Goff seeing NFL action for the first time. This means Goff will see a lot of playing time as he needs to get as much work in. That means good news here, knowing the Rams will send out a guy who needs to show some stride. Some trends to note. Cowboys are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. NFC. Cowboys are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Cowboys don't need to show anything here. The anticipation is high for the city of Los Angeles and with Goff taking the ball, this is a nice spot for the Rams to want this a lot more.

08-12-16 | Tigers v. Rangers -1.5 | 5-8 | Win | 104 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
Texas Rangers -1.5 The Texas Rangers start Yu Darvish in this one. Darvish hasn't allowed more than 3 runs in a game all year. He has tremendous stuff, and he has come back from an injury in top form. Anibal Sanchez has pitched better of late for the Tigers, but this is a very bad matchup for him. Sanchez has a brutal 12.34 ERA in three starts at Texas in his career. Sanchez has been a quality pitcher in his career too, but he has lost some of his stuff as he has aged. This Rangers lineup is likely to get to him in a big way here. The Tigers certainly have a good lineup, but Castellanos being out hurts their lineup depth. Also, Darvish definitely has the stuff to shut down any lineup when he is on. This Rangers lineup got much better at the trade deadline, and they should win this one big Friday night. A couple trends of note. The Tigers are 0-8 in Sanchez's last 8 road starts. The Rangers are 5-0 in Darvish's last 5 starts vs. Detroit. Take Texas -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB RL Play |

08-12-16 | Rays -122 v. Yankees | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -122 | 18 h 18 m | Show |
Tampa Bay Rays -122 The Rays and Yankees begin a weekend series and there is tremendous value to be had on the Tampa Bay Rays Friday night. First off, the distractions will fully be there. After all the drama that has unfolded between Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees, he announced his retirement last week. Friday will be Rodriguez's last game before he calls it quits and he'll be in the DH spot. Mix emotions from everyone from the players to the fans here, which is going to shift focus from the game for sure. Chris Archer gets the ball for Tampa Bay and he has been dominant at Yankee Stadium. In 6 career starts, Archer has compiled an ERA of 2.18. CC Sabathia takes the ball for the Yankees and he's been sketchy as of late. He has gone 1-5 in his last 9 outings, registering just 1 quality start. At home this season, Sabathia has gone 1-6 with a 4.82 ERA over a 9 start span. Some trends to note. Yankees are 0-5 in Sabathias last 5 starts vs. American League East. Yankees are 0-4 in Sabathias last 4 home starts. New York will have a lot of distractions to deal with here. Given that and the edge pitching wise, the Rays are worth a TOP PLAY here. Back Tampa Bay ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

08-12-16 | Rockies v. Phillies +131 | 6-10 | Win | 131 | 17 h 26 m | Show | |
Philadelphia Phillies +131 The Phillies and Rockies get set for a series opener on Friday night and the home team opens as decent sized underdogs, which gives them value. The Rockies bullpen collapsed once again on Thursday, but their offense bailed them out in a win. If it wasn't bad enough that their pen was taxed from Thursday, they send a reliable starter to the mound. Jon Gray gets the ball, looking to rebound from a 3.1 innings outing. Gray was rocked for 8 runs on 10 hits in the process. If Gray cannot get deep here into the game, the Rockies are in serious trouble. Jake Thompson counters for Philadelphia and after a rough first start to his major league career, the cobwebs are shaken off. He has a lot of expectations to deal with, but should now be good to get into full force mode with all the jitters out of the way. Some trends to note. Phillies are 4-0 in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Phillies are 5-1 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. The Phillies have played well in the first game of a series lately. Given that, this is a nice spot here for them at this price. Back Philadelphia ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* MLB ML Play |

Chicago Cubs -1.5 +132 The Cubs and Cardinals get set for action on Thursday night inside Wrigley and Chicago at this price laying the RL is a nice value play. After St. Louis made their little run to get back in the division race, Chicago turned it up a couple notches and took off. Now, they can know the Cardinals have the mindset that they pretty much need to win every head to head matchup if they have any hopes at making another push. The Cubs are playing so well right now that they realize even this weekend could be the nail in the coffin on this Cardinals team. Jon Lester gets the ball here, as the Cubs try to win their 5th straight with him on the hill. He has posted an ERA Of only 2.55 since the break, pitching extremely well. Carlos Martinez opposes him and he has struggled a bit lately. He's been knocked around in his last couple starts and has posted an ERA of 4.74 in his career against the Cubs. Some trends to note. Cubs are 8-0 in their last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter. Cubs are 48-17 in their last 65 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Chicago can really put this race to rest, if you even want to consider it a race anymore, with a solid weekend. Look for them to get things started very well here, behind another stellar start from Lester. Back Chicago -1.5 +132. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* MLB RL Play |

Denver Broncos +1.5 The Broncos and Bears kick their preseason off on Thursday night and Denver holds the value here at +1.5. The defending champs have a lot of work to do this preseason as they lost both their QBs in the offseason. Their first released depth chart showed that both Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian are co number 1 QBs. While this is quite unorthodox, this is where the value comes in here. Both QBs are fighting for the starting job and not only will they see significant playing time this preseason, but both will really be on their top game. As for the Bears, they have things set and stone and could be in for a big season. Their main concern is health though. They come into this one a bit banged up at some key spots, so not only will they try to keep their first team healthy by not playing them long, but they will also be playing with a lot of backups from the start. Some trends to note. Broncos are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Thursday games. With the QB situation in Denver, this is a very solid spot to expect both QBs to get significant time and really be on their top game. With that, the Broncos on the road here are the move. Back Denver +1.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NFLX ATS Play |

Padres vs. Pirates Under 8 The San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates play this one at 12:35 eastern. That is 9:35 am Pacific, and this has always been a difficult spot for the Padres. Pittsburgh is getting ready to go on a difficult road trip themselves. This is the perfect early get away spot for a low scoring game. We are likely to see some of the better hitters for each teams get the day off in this situation. Neither of these offenses have shown the ability to string together big innings very often of late. The Padres have one of the worst offenses in the majors against right handed pitching. Pittsburgh's offense was good earlier in this season, but they have slumped mightily of late. Phil Cuzzi has one of the highest called strike percentages of any umpires, so he'll help both pitchers throughout this game. A couple trends of note. The under is 5-2 in the Padres last 7 games following a win. The under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two in Pittsburgh. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Baltimore Orioles -121 The Orioles offense has been one of the best in the MLB this season. However, they've ran into a bit of a cold spell here in Oakland. Thanks to that, they get offered at a very solid price here on Wednesday, which gives them a lot of value. Baltimore sits in a tie atop the division, still, which has to be a welcoming sight for them. They'll get a chance at LH Ross Detweiler, who started this season as a bullpen pitcher for the Indians. After being DFA'd, the Athletics picked him up and will recall him from Triple A to make a spot start in the rotation. He hasn't had much success in the MLB to say the least. He is 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in 7 career appearances against the O's. In his career, he has gone 21-37 with an ERA of 4.21. Some trends to note. Orioles are 11-5 in their last 16 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. Orioles are 17-8 in their last 25 Wednesday games. Baltimore has a major edge here. Given that, this team is worth the move as Ross Detweiler probably won't have much success at slowing this offense down. Back Baltimore ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Baltimore Orioles -129 The Orioles look to rebound from a series opening loss on Monday as they send Wade Miley to the mound against Oakland. Baltimore cannot afford to be dropping back to back games against the weaker teams as the margin for error in the AL East is very slim. Wade Miley comes into this one looking to build off some solid career success against Oakland. Miley has gone 2-0 with an ERA of just 1.29 in a pair of starts against the Athletics. Miley was acquired from Seattle for starts like this, as he needs to step up and find his form here. They'll get a look at Zach Neal, who as roughed up in his first outing of the season against Seattle. Neal has nothing overpowering, which doesn't bode well for him given how good this Baltimore lineup is. Some trends to note. Orioles are 4-0 in their last 4 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. Athletics are 2-8 in their last 10 games on grass. Oakland has struggled to string wins together. With Miley on the mound here, this is a nice spot and price on Baltimore. Back Baltimore ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play |

Reds vs. Cardinals Over 8.5 The Cincinnati Reds will face former teammate Mike Leake in this one. In Leake's first two starts against the Reds this year he had an ERA of 10.32. Leake has been getting hit around consistently of late, and I see no reason to believe he'll be better in this one. Brandon Finnegan is coming off two very good starts, but all that has done is give us more value with the over. Finnegan has a 4.45 ERA and a FIP of 5.52, so he hasn't been good in general this year. The Cardinals are in the Wild Card race, and they need to get hot right now. I think they get to Finnegan this time around. Lance Barksdale is the umpire tonight, and he has a lower than average percentage of called strikes in the past few seasons. A couple trends of note in this game. The over is 24-11-6 in the Reds last 41 vs. the NL Central. The over is 6-0 in the Cardinals last 6 home games vs. a lefty. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play |

San Francisco vs. Miami Under 8 +105 The Giants and Marlins played a marathon of a game on Monday night and will get right back at Tuesday night with the Under holding value here. When it comes to long games the night before, the offenses tend to really struggle the next day. The at bats are quicker and a lot more swings and misses are produced. Both starting pitchers here have the capabilities of shutting the opposing offenses down too. Matt Moore makes his 2nd start in a Giants uniform and after shaking the nerves off in his first start, this is a nice spot to get back at it. Moore owns a 2-0 record against Miami and will be taking on an offense that has to be dejected after scoring 7 runs and losing on Monday. Tom Koehler opposes him and he is hitting his stride this season. Against the Giants, he owns a record of 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA. Some trends to note. Under is 9-4 in Marlins last 13 games vs. a left-handed starter. Under is 11-4-1 in Giants last 16 games vs. a right-handed starter. Expect both starters to have success here, giving this Under solid value. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* MLB O/U Play |

Texas Rangers -110 The Rangers are playing great ball right now and open at a slim price here on Monday night, which gives them great value. Cole Hamels has been pitching extremely well this season, so to find him that this kind of price is extremely valuable. Hamels is 12-3 on the season with an ERA of just 2.89. Since the All Star break, the LH has gone 3-1 with a 1.59 ERA in 4 starts. To make it even more impressive for Hamels, he's gone 8-2 with a 1.90 ERA in 12 starts on the road. All signs point to a major advantage here in terms of the pitching matchup for Texas. Colorado sends out Tyler Anderson, who has been a reliable option, but he'll see a revamped Rangers offense that is stacked from top to bottom. Put them inside a hitters ballpark like Coors field and Anderson could be in a lot of trouble here. Some trends to note. Rangers are 4-1 in their last 5 interleague road games vs. a team with a losing record. Rangers are 6-2 in their last 8 vs. National League West. This price is just too nice to pass up on. Hamels and the Rangers have solid value here on Monday night. Back Texas ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB ML Play |

Houston Astros -123 The Astros will see a welcoming sight when they head into Minnesota on Monday night. The welcoming sight is that they don't have to see the Texas Rangers. Houston has played extremely well against everyone not named Texas this season. Here, they open with low juice against a much worse opponent which gives them value here. The Astros give the ball to Colin McHugh, who has never lost to Minnesota. McHugh is 3-0 in his career against the Twins, posting a very respectable ERA of 3.04 in 4 career starts. Tyler Duffey goes for the Twins, who just hasn't been good since joining the rotation. He's allowed 4 runs or more in each of his last 4 starts and is getting knocked around early in games. Some trends to note. Astros are 6-2 in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Astros are 23-8 in their last 31 vs. a team with a losing record. Houston gets a major edge here. Duffey has been underwhelming in almost every start and McHugh gets a chance to build off a solid start here. At this price, Houston has value. Back Houston ML.

Boston Red Sox -105 Sunday Night Baseball heads into Los Angeles as the Red Sox and Dodgers get set for action. David Price opens at a PK, which offers us an extremely valuable play here. Price has been pitching well lately, working into the 8th inning in both his previous two starts. However, the Red Sox offense has not been helping him. Interleague play definitely bodes well for him though. In his career he is 12-11 with a very solid ERA of 3.39, which is over a 28 start span. Los Angeles sends out Brandon McCarthy, which isn't something the Dodgers wanted to see. Rich Hill was acquired at the deadline, but he continues to battle blister problems. McCarthy replaces him in the rotation while he gets himself figured out. The RH has failed to make it through 5.0 innings in his previous two starts, both resulting in losses. Some trends to consider. Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 Sunday games. Red Sox are 12-4 in their last 16 interleague games. The Sox, at this price have plenty of value. Boston bodes well in interleague play and have been particularly dominant on Sundays. Back Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* MLB ML Play |

Mets vs. Tigers Under 8.5 The New York Mets and Detroit Tigers meet on Sunday afternoon in Detroit. The Mets offense has had all sorts of problems scoring runs of late. Jay Bruce is off to a bit of a slow start in his first few days as a Met. New York just doesn't have the pop in the lineup that the other top teams have this year.Detroit has plenty of pop in their lineup, but Jacob Degrom is coming off back to back shutouts. He has gotten stronger and stronger as the season has gone on. Degrom should be able to slow down the Tigers offense. Detroit has plenty of pop in their lineup, but Jacob Degrom is coming off back to back shutouts. He has gotten stronger and stronger as the season has gone on. Degrom should be able to slow down the TIgers offense. Anibal Sanchez has been disappointing this year, but he faces that Mets offense that is struggling, and I see this as a chance for him to get things rolling again. His peripherals have improved of late. Bill Miller is the home plate umpire here, and he's been a long-term under umpire. The under is 35-15 in his last 50 Sunday games behind home plate.

Toronto Blue Jays -134 The Blue Jays and Royals continue their weekend series and Toronto has value at his listed price. The Jays were contemplating taking Aaron Sanchez out of the starting rotation, which for reasons unknown to everyone, but the Jays, was said to be a move to make the team better. Taking out a starting pitcher who is 11-1 with a 2.71 ERA on the season may not be the brightest idea. After all of it, Toronto decided to go with a 6 man rotation and Sanchez will start here. He has won 10 straight decisions, which includes a dominant performance against these Royals where he allowed just 1 run in 8.0 innings of work. While Royals starter Danny Duffy has been good this season, his time against Toronto has been a different story. He is just 1-3 in his career against them, allowing 16 runs in 20.2 innings of work. Some trends to note. Blue Jays are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. Blue Jays are 20-8 in their last 28 overall. With Duffy's struggles against the Jays, combined with how good Sanchez has been, this is a nice spot and price to back the Jays best pitcher here. Back Toronto ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Washington -1.5 The Washington Nationals have Stephen Strasburg on the mound this year. The Nationals have been money in the bank with him on the mound this year (18-2). Strasburg goes up against a Giants lineup here that has been very shaky of late. The Giants have scored 3 runs or less six times in their last nine games. San Francisco has been able to get going against left handed pitching in recent weeks, but against right handed pitchers, they haven't been able to get going. I don't expect them to be able to find their way against Strasburg, who has become one of the best pitchers in baseball this year. Matt Cain is totally washed up. He has a 7.48 ERA on the road this year, and he has struggled in Washington in the past. His velocity is down, and he isn't getting many swinging strikes. This one is a mismatch all the way. A couple trends of note. The Giants are 5-16 in Cain's last 21 road starts. The Nationals are 22-8 in Strasburg's last 30 home starts. Take Washington -1.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB RL Play |

Reds vs. Pirates Over 8 Homer Bailey is clearly capable of being a good big league pitcher, but this is his second start back from a major injury. Bailey was hit around in Triple A this season. He had a quality start in San Diego in his first big league start back, but how much does that really mean with the lineup the Padres are trotting out on a daily basis right now? Ivan Nova was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Trade Deadline. My first thought when I saw Pittsburgh had traded him was, "Why did they want him?" Nova isn't a terrible pitcher, but he is a less than mediocre starter. Nova isn't likely to be a guy who gives the Pirates a boost of any kind. These are two poor bullpens, and with these starting pitchers, big innings are certainly a possibility. A couple trends of note. The over is 35-17 in the Pirates last 52 home games. The over is 16-7-4 in the Reds last 27 vs. a team with a winning record. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play |

The Twins gave the Indians fits all week long as their offense put up 35 runs in a 3 wins before being slowed down on Thursday. Still, this offense is surging right now and Joe Mauer is at the center of it all. He went 12 for 18 in the series win over Cleveland and enters play on Friday hitting .360 in 60 career games against the Rays. Minnesota sends out Ervin Santana, who is on fire right now. Over an 8 start span, the Twins starter has compiled an ERA of just 1.96. The Rays don't welcome the sight of an AL Central opponent either. They have gone 9-18 against the Central this season. Some trends to note. Twins are 4-1 in their last 5 overall. Twins are 5-2 in their last 7 road games. The Twins are hot right now.

New York Mets +112 The Mets open an interleague battle in Detroit on Friday and catching Noah Syndergaard at this price is a pretty nice sight. Syndergaard is said to be "struggling," but a lot of pitchers would take his struggling ways right now. He has given up just 2 earned runs in both of his previous two outings and is pitching well since June 22. The RH is 8-2 since then, compiling an ERA that sits just over 2. These games are extremely important for New York too. With one of their top pitchers on the mound, it doesn't matter who they're facing, they need these games. The Mets find themselves just a game back in the Wild Card with a compliment of teams chasing them. New York plays pretty well on the road as well, conceding just 3.5 runs per game. Some trends to consider. Mets are 20-8 in their last 28 Friday games. Mets are 37-18 in their last 55 during game 1 of a series. The Mets success in series opening games is impressive. Combine that with Syndergaard on the hill and this is a beautiful spot for the Mets at this price. Back New York ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

They open as decently sized underdogs in this one, which gives them solid value here. The Rockies have gone an MLB best 14-5 since the break. They've actually played their way back into contention in the Wild Card, which is shocking to say. Colorado sends out Tyler Chatwood here, which is why this price is a little shocking to see. Chatwood has pitched extremely well, going 10-6 with a 3.50 ERA on the season. Chatwood comes in off a 7.0 inning start, where he allowed just 1 run against the Mets. Last time he saw the Dodgers, he threw an 8.0 masterpiece, allowing just 1 hit. The Dodgers counter with Kenta Maeda, who hasn't been that good on the road lately. He's given up 7 runs in his last 10.0 road innings and really labored. Some trends to note. Rockies are 7-1 in their last 8 games on grass. Rockies are 6-1 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter.

They have the momentum right now and with the AL East completely jam packed, this is a game they need to take with J.A. Happ on the hill. Happ has been the hottest pitcher for the Jays, winning 8 straight decisions. Happ has allowed only 2 runs in his last 4 wins and leads the American League with 14 total wins. He has had some solid success against Houston in his career, going 3-1 in 6 starts. Some trends to consider. Blue Jays are 7-0 in their last 7 during game 4 of a series. Blue Jays are 5-1 in their last 6 road games. An important trend to note here is that 7-0 in their last 7 game 4's of a series. Toronto closes these long series' out on a hight note.

Rangers vs. Orioles Over 9.5 The Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles have been struggling a bit on offense of late, but I think tonight is a good chance for both teams to break out of their slumps. A.J. Griffin pitches here for the Rangers. Griffin has managed to get out of trouble fairly well in his last few starts, but he hasn't pitched well. This is a guy who has gotten fortunate by stranding a bunch of runners. That doesn't work well in the long run. Griffin has walked 7 guys and struck out only 6 in the past three outings. Wade Miley starts here for the Orioles. Baltimore traded for him because they have no starting pitching depth. Miley isn't that good of a pitcher though, and Texas has been better against lefties than righties all year long. Both pitchers are capable of giving up the big inning, and both offenses are better than they have shown of late. The over is 7-2-1 in the Rangers last 10 games vs. a left handed starter.

St. Louis vs. Cincinnati Over 9 The Cardinals and Reds continue their series Wednesday after a dramatic affair on Tuesday night. Here, the Over holds a lot of value at 9. The Reds send out Cody Reed, who is the main reason for backing this over. Reed is 0-5 with an ERA that sits over 7 on the season. He allowed 6 runs on 9 hits in a loss to the Giants last time out and has failed to give the Reds any sort of length in 5 of his last 6 starts. Going up against an offense that averages 5.71 runs per road game doesn't bode very well for the winless Reed. Michael Wacha counters here, who isn't happy to see Zack Cozart or Joey Votto. The duo have gone a combined 18 for 41 against him. Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Cincinnati. Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings. St. Louis has the potential to really put up crooked numbers here against Reed. If the Reds can contribute even just a little here, this total has the ability to fly over. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play |

Washington -1.5 The Washington Nationals are looking to complete the three-game series sweep in Arizona. The first two games were complete mismatches, and I don't see any reason to believe this game will be any different. Max Scherzer has been good of late since starting the season a little slower than expected. Scherzer has pitched in Arizona in the past as a member of the Diamondbacks, and I think that gives him an advantage here. This will feel more like a home game than an away game for him. He's up against a Diamondbacks lineup that isn't very good against right handed pitching. Zach Godley starts for the Nationals and he is a guy who really isn't made out to be a starter. He allows way too many baserunners, and this is a guy who seems to be crushed by the big inning on a regular basis. Maybe the most important part of this play is the difference in these two bullpens. The Nationals have one of the top bullpens in baseball, while the Diamondbacks bullpen is a complete disaster. We'll lay it on the run line here. Back Washington -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray.

In fact, he actually did get roughed up in his last start, which did come at home, as he allowed 5 runs in a loss to the Cardinals. Fernandez hasn't been as dominant or even close to as dominant on the road as he has been at home in his career and the numbers certainly reflect that. He is just 3-3 on the season away from Miami with a near 4 ERA. Jason Hammel counters for Chicago, who has won 3 straight. Hammel has a home ERA of only 2.50 and continues to turn in quality start after quality start for the Cubs. Some trends to note. Cubs are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. Cubs are 44-17 in their last 61 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Chicago has been solid out of the break, going 11-6. At plus money, at home, this is a nice spot for them. Back Chicago ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

Cleveland Indians -1.5 +101 The Indians and Twins continue their 4 game set and Cleveland is set up to rebound here on Tuesday night. Cleveland fell in the series opener and is now just 4.0 games up in the division. The Indians send out one of their top 2 pitchers here in Carlos Carrasco though, which is just what they need to see. Carrasco has allowed 3 runs or less in 9 straight starts and earned a win in one of those against Minnesota. The RH gave up 2 runs on just 4 hits in 6.2 innings of work back on July 15. On July 17, Twins starter Kyle Gibson fell to the Tribe. Gibson allowed 4 runs on 10 hits. Look for Cleveland to get to him early on, which will really help Carrasco settle in here. Some trends to note. Indians are 5-0 in their last 5 Tuesday games. Indians are 8-2 in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Cleveland rebounds very well from losses and in this spot, a lopsided win is very possible here with Carrasco on the hill. Back Cleveland RL. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play |

08-02-16 | White Sox v. Tigers OVER 9.5 | 5-11 | Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
White Sox vs. Tigers Over 9.5 The Chicago White Sox have torched Anibal Sanchez in the past. Sanchez has an ERA of 5.34 against the White Sox in his career. In the past couple years, things are even worse for Sanchez against the White Sox. He has allowed 18 runs in his last 19 innings pitched against the White Sox. James Shields has certainly pitched better of late, but advanced metrics suggest he has primarily gotten fortunate during those starts. Shields still isn't striking people out at a rate you would like to see, and he has gotten a lot of luck on batted balls in play. The Detroit offense is one of the best in baseball, and I don't see Shields shutting them down tonight. Sanchez has been terrible all year, and there's no signs of him improving right now. The White Sox bullpen has been the worst in the majors in the past month. There could be plenty of runs late as well. A couple trends of note. The over is 34-14-5 in Sanchez's last 53 starts. The over is 3-0-1 in Sanchez's last 4 starts vs. the White Sox. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB Â O/U Play |

08-01-16 | Red Sox v. Mariners OVER 8.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 4 m | Show | |
Boston vs. Seattle Over 8.5 The Red Sox and Mariners begin a weekday series and the Over here has value. Boston brings in one of the best offenses in baseball and they showed that in Sundays win over the Angels. They came from behind to erase a 3 run deficit, putting up a 5 spot, which is right around their season average on the year. Boston sends out Eduardo Rodriguez, who has been a mess on the road this season. The LH has posted an ERA of 7.08 in 4 starts away from Fenway Park. Seattle had a long flight home this morning after blowing a 6 run lead on Sunday Night Baseball. The Mariners offense has had no problem producing this season, but it's been the pitching that has been a struggle. Seattle concedes nearly 4.5 runs per game and their bullpen has been a struggle, especially in the back end. Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in Mariners last 6 on grass. Over is 16-6-1 in the last 23 meetings. These two teams have played to the Over when it comes to head to head. With two iffy pitchers here, expect both offenses to come out firing early in this one. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

07-31-16 | Mariners v. Cubs OVER 8 | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Seattle vs. Chicago Over 8 The Mariners and Cubs are featured on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball and the Over here has solid value. Seattle sends out ace Felix Hernandez here. Hernandez has faced the Cubs just one time in his career which was back in 2010. Hernandez hasn't been himself since returning from the DL, allowing 9 runs and 19 hits in 12.2 innings of work. As for the Cubs, they go with LH Brian Matusz. He was acquired after Baltimore released him, as he struggled out of the bullpen. He makes a spot start here and given the confines of Wrigley Field, this may not go so well for him. Matusz has continued to allow runs in almost every appearance out of the bullpen and going up the likes of Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz can't be a warming sight. Some trends to consider. Over is 5-1 in Mariners last 6 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 7-2-2 in Hernandezs last 11 starts with 4 days of rest. Over is 6-1 in Cubs last 7 Sunday games. Over is 9-3-2 in Cubs last 14 during game 3 of a series. Back the Over. Both pitchers aren't so lucky to be seeing either offense or Wrigley Field. Given that and their struggles, this is nice number on the total. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's 8* MLB O/U Play |

Boston -125 The Red Sox and Angels continue their weekend series and Drew Pomeranz at the listed price gets the value here. Boston got back on track with a 6-2 win in the series opener and a start away from Fenway Park is just what Drew Pomeranz needs here. His first two starts in a Red Sox uniform come at Fenway Park, a place not friendly to pitchers. As for the Angels, Hector Santiago gets the ball and his name has been at the center of almost every trade rumor. He could be making his last start in an Angels uniform, which has to put some second thoughts in his head. As for him at home this season, Santiago holds a 5.28 ERA in 10 starts. That doesn't bode well for him going up against a Boston offense that averages 5.61 runs per game. Some trends to note. Red Sox are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter. Red Sox are 7-3 in their last 10 games following a win. Expect Boston to come out aggressive here against Santiago. Pomeranz also gets a chance to relax and see something other than the Green Monster, which will help his mentality out here. Back Boston.

07-30-16 | Royals +125 v. Rangers | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 43 m | Show | |
Kansas City Royals ML The Kansas City Royals are better than they have played so far this year. The Texas Rangers aren't as good as they have played so far this year. Martin Perez has been doing it with smoke and mirrors so far this year. Perez has a subpar ERA of 4.38, but all the advanced data suggests that number should be much higher. Perez is striking out only 4.16 batters per nine innings, which is among the worst of any starter in the majors. Kansas City's lineup hits left handed pitching better than right handers. Look for the Royals to be able to score some runs here. If the Royals can get deep into this game with a chance, their bullpen gives them a big advantage over the Texas Rangers bullpen. Kansas City's bullpen is now healthy again, and it is once again one of the best in the majors. This price is a little too high on the Rangers, and we're going to grab the underdog in this one. Back Kansas City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* MLB ML Play |

07-29-16 | Pirates v. Brewers -109 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Brewers -109 The Brewers have been at the center of many rumors as of late, but one guy not going to be on the move is Friday's starter Junior Guerra. Milwaukee opens at basically a PK price, as they send out their most reliable pitcher. Guerra is 6-2 on the season with a solid ERA of 2.85. He has allowed 2 runs or less in 5 of his last 6 starts. In one of those starts during the stretch, he allowed just 2 runs against Pittsburgh in 6.0 innings of work, but received a ND. Guerra has also been extremely solid at home going 4-2 with an ERA of 2.42 in 8 starts. On the other side of things, the Pirates send out Steven Brault, who is making just his 2nd MLB start. Brault went just 4.0 innings in his major league debut, as he hasn't built up enough arm strength to really give the Pirates length. Don't expect him to work deep into this one, which gives the Brewers a solid chance to really get to him early. Some trends to consider. Brewers are 9-2 in their last 11 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Brewers are 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter At this price, the Brewers have solid value here. The Brewers have a significant edge pitching wise and with an offense that averages nearly 4.5 runs per game, they should be able to get to the rookie here early on. Back Milwaukee.

Chicago White Sox -116 The White Sox and Twins begin a weekend series and it must be nice sight to see the Twins, after dealing with the Cubs for 4 games. We get Chicago at a nice price here, as they hold a solid edge over the Twins when it comes to the pitching matchup. Jose Quintana gets the ball for Chicago, who has turned in back to back solid starts since the All Star break. Quintana has allowed just 1 run in the pair of starts and gets a chance to improve on his 2-1 record against the Twins here. Ricky Nolasco goes for Minnesota, who has been knocked around lately. Nolasco lasted just 2.0 innings last time out and hasn't faired well against the White Sox this season. In each of his 2 starts against them, he's given up 7 runs. Some trends to consider. White Sox are 4-0 in Quintanas last 4 starts on grass. White Sox are 6-2 in Quintanas last 8 starts with 4 days of rest. At the listed price, Quintana and the Sox have value. Quintana has dominated the Twins while Nolasco hasn't lasted long, nor given the Twins a chance against the White Sox. Back Chicago.

07-29-16 | Astros -130 v. Tigers | 6-14 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Houston Astros -130 The Houston Astros have a lot of momentum right now. The Astros didn't play up to their potential early in the year, but they are showing what they are made of lately. This is a young team that continues to get better, and they have a very bright future ahead of them. The Detroit Tigers start Matt Boyd in this one. Boyd hasn't proven himself to be a quality big league starter yet. He is way too inconsistent for my liking. The Astros lineup has plenty of power, and Boyd is likely to give up some long balls in this one. McHugh is a quality starter for the Astros. He'll give up some runs, but he generally avoids the big innings. The biggest advantage in this game for Houston though is in the bullpen. The Astros bullpen ranks in the top three in every bullpen category you can find. The Detroit bullpen is middle of the pack at best. A couple trends of note. The Astros are 38-18 in their last 56 games. The Astros are 40-19 in McHugh's last 59 starts. Back Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

Texas Rangers -1.5 The Texas Rangers have been underrated for most of the season. I do believe Texas is due to come back to the pack some because of their terrible rotation, but they have one very solid starter in the rotation and he starts in this one. Cole Hamels has proven himself over time as a guy who is great at helping his team win. The Rangers are an awesome 26-6 in Hamels' last 32 starts. They are 15-3 in his last 18 starts vs. a team with a losing record. Yordano Ventura has been a major disappointment for the Royals this year. His walk rate is up and his strikeout rate is down. Ventura now goes to pitch in one of the tougher venues for pitchers, The Ballpark in Arlington. I don't expect it to go well. Some trends of note here. The Royals are 0-5 in Ventura's last 5 starts. Kansas City is also 0-7 in their last 7 games following a win. Texas is 13-3 in Hamels' last 16 home starts. Back Texas -1.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB RL Play |

Chicago Cubs -133 The Cubs and White Sox conclude a home and home 4 game series on Thursday night and it's the Cubs who have the value in this rivalry game. After dropping back to back games on the south side, the Cubs came back in a giant way winning 8-1 inside Wrigley on Wednesday. Despite going up against Chris Sale here, the Cubs still have an edge. Sale has been at the center of all the distractions when it came to the throwback jerseys and was suspended 5 games for a childish act. Sale backed up what he did, which caused even more of a controversy. His name also came up in many rumors over the past week. A lot of distractions are happening here, which could cause him problems mentally. As for the Cubs, Lackey gets the ball in the one. Lackey has had solid personal success in his career against the White Sox, seeing them a lot during his time in Boston. Lackey has gone 3-7, but that record is skewed as he's posted a very respectable ERA of just 3.73 in a 16 start span. Some trends to consider. Cubs are 5-1 in their last 6 interleague home games. Cubs are 10-3 in their last 13 during game 4 of a series. With all the distractions going on here, the Cubs get a major advantage. Sale has to be a mess mentally and with this one inside Wrigley, where the Cubs play extremely well, they hold value at this low of a price. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Philadelphia vs. Atlanta Over 7.5 The Phillies and Braves begin a 4 game set inside Turner Field and the Over in game 1 has solid value here. This Over finds it value thanks to the rough starting pitching matchup. Aaron Nola gets the ball for the Phillies and his struggles are becoming quite alarming. Nola hasn't won a game since June 5th and has lost 5 straight decisions. Back on May 20, he allowed 5 runs against the Braves in a loss. For the Braves, Matt Wisler gets the ball and he has been an absolute mess all around. Wisler has gone 1-2 with a 5.12 ERA against the Phillies in his career. At home, things have been horrific. the RH is 1-6 with a 4.33 ERA in 10 starts at Turner Field. Some trends to consider. Over is 4-1 in Wislers last 5 starts overall. Over is 7-1 in Nolas last 8 starts overall. Given both starting pitchers struggles, this is a nice number to work with. Both offenses should get out early, making this a nice Over play. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* MLB O/U Play |

New York Yankees +125 The Yankees are ruining a lot of teams hopes as of late. New York continues to win and put themselves back into the race, which means they won't be sellers at the deadline. Here, ace Masahiro Tanaka takes the hill as a plus money underdog. Tanaka is 7-2 on the season with a 3.00 ERA. He continues to turn in good effort after good effort and comes in off a solid start against the Giants. Tanaka shut them out through 6.0 innings, but his offense couldn't help the cause in a ND. He'll be countered by Lance McCullers, who is struggling with his command. The RH has walked at least 4 guys in each of his last 3 starts. With a red hot Yankees lineup right now, giving up free passes is going to really hurt McCullers here. Some trends to consider. Yankees are 4-1 in their last 5 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Yankees are 8-2 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record New York is playing extremely well right now. Given the price and their ace on the mound, this is a nice value play to work with. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

Reds vs. Giants Under 7 The Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants meet on Wednesday afternoon in San Francisco. The first two games of this series have been very high scoring games. That isn't the norm at AT&T Park though.This is still a great pitchers park, and I think this game will be much lower scoring. Both Jake Peavy and Matt Cain have almost nothing left in the tank, but Madison Bumgarner is right in his prime. Bumgarner will start here against a Reds lineup that has gotten good production out of Jay Bruce and Joey Votto of late, but overall the lineup depth isn't all that good. Dan Straily has been pitching very well of late. He has four straight quality starts. Even though the Giants have hit the ball well in the last two games, it is easy to forget that this offense had been awful since the All Star break until the last two days. This is a getaway day game and some key bats may be sitting out as well. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play |

Arizona vs. Milwaukee Over 9.5 +108 The Diamondbacks and Brewers continue their series on Tuesday night and the Over here has solid value. Two starting pitchers take the hill that have really struggled on the season. Patrick Corbin takes the ball for Arizona and brings in an ERA of 5.23 to go along with his 4-9 record on the season. Corbin has gone winless in his last 5 turns, unable to give the Diamondbacks much of anything. For Milwaukee, Matt Garza gets the nod. Garza has lost 4 straight and has compiled an ERA of 8.41 in that stretch. The RH has allowed 4 home runs and 31 hits overall during that time, as he continues to be just an absolute mess. On the season, he has a near 6 ERA, which doesn't bode very well as he goes up against a very talented offense. Some trends to consider. Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Milwaukee. Over is 8-2-1 in Garzas last 11 starts with 4 days of rest. Expect both offenses to endure a lot of success, given the struggles of both starting pitchers on the season. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play |

Cubs -1.5 +102 The Chicago Cubs should be able to get to James Shields, and I think it will give the team an extra spark to have Aroldis Chapman in the fold. Chapman is expected to be available for this game. Most people believe that the Cubs are the best team on paper in the majors already, and now they added a lockdown closer. That bullpen got better in a hurry, and this team will be tough to beat. Kyle Hendricks starts in this one for the Cubs and he quietly has a great 2.27 ERA this year. He's one of the more underrated starters in baseball. James Shields went through a terrible patch and then has pitched somewhat better of late. Shields still hasn't been striking out hardly anyone, and he has been able to strand a bunch of runners. I don't think he gets so lucky against the Cubs. A couple trends of note. The Cubs are 6-0 in Hendricks' last 6 starts. The White Sox are 4-10 in their last 14 interleague games at home. Take the Chicago Cubs -1.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play |

San Francisco Giants -130 The Giants welcome in the Reds on Monday and this is just the series this team needs. They've seen their lead dwindle in the NL West and with a weak opponent, at home, the Giants have an opportunity to get back on track. San Francisco enters Monday 29-17 insider AT&T Park. On the other side of things, the Reds enter play 14-32 away from home. Jake Peavy gets the ball for the Giants and his career success against the Reds is something to note here. Peavy has gone 7-1 in his career, with an ERA of just 2.92. Peavy has improved from his sluggish start to the season and has a clear cut advantage every time he takes the ball against the Reds. Some trends to consider. Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Giants are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. National League Central. This is exactly what the Giants need. Home field and a bad opponent. At this price, they have a ton of value here. Back San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB ML Play |

Miami Marlins -130 The Marlins dropped 2 of 3 to the Mets over the weekend and now get a look at team they're extremely familiar with. The Marlins took 3 of 4 last week and this has the makings of a very distracting start for Jeremy Hellickson. The RH has been brought up in many rumors this past week, particularly with these Marlins. Philadelphia was believed to be scouting many of the Marlins farm teams on Sunday in preparation of a trade. Look for a lack of focus from Hellickson here, with so much going on. The Marlins give the ball to Jarred Cosart, who has endured solid career success against the Phillies. In 3 starts, he's compiled an ERA of just 2.40, his best against any opponent with a minimum of 3 starts. Some trends to consider. Marlins are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Marlins are 6-2 in their last 8 home games. The Marlins have played very well at home as of late. Given all the distractions for Hellickson, he could even be pulled here in the middle of the game, that's how close the rumors are. His head has to be all over the place, which gives the Marlins the value here. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play |

St Louis Cardinals +1.5 -127 The Cardinals saw their 5 game winning streak come to a halt last night, but they still hold plenty of value here on Sunday, especially getting this price on the +1.5. St. Louis continues to put the pressure on the Cubs in the division, not allowing them to pull away after their hot start. The Cards are also right in the thick of the Wild Card Race as they've played great baseball over the past two weeks. They send out Mike Mayers to make his major league debut here and that isn't a bad thing. He gets the national stage, which is good as he will only grow in confidence as the game goes on. In Double A he went 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA. The Dodgers don't have much on this guy, which could pose a lot of problems for hitters. Some trends to consider. Cardinals are 4-0 in their last 4 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. Cardinals are 7-1 in their last 8 vs. National League West. The Cardinals know they need to start taking series', especially at home, if they plan on making a postseason push. While it may seem risky to take a Double A starter, Mayers has had excellent success and with the Dodgers not having much knowledge on him, this is a nice spot to back the RL. Back St. Louis RL.

Mariners vs. Jays Over 9.5 The Seattle Mariners and the Toronto Blue Jays meet in the final game of their series on Sunday. It's lefty against lefty in this one. J.A. Happ toes the rubber for the home team, while Wade Miley starts for the visiting Mariners. While Happ has pitched well of late, his career numbers against this Seattle lineup are very bad. The Mariners regulars have a whopping .392 average and a .430 on base percentage against Happ in his career. Those are numbers that can't be ignored, especially when that is over the span of 86 plate appearances. Wade Miley has been struggling all year. While it took them some time to get going, the Blue Jays have finally started hitting left handed pitching hard again of late. It would be a surprise to see Miley slow them down here. Both of these starters have gotten great run support all year. A couple trends of note. The over is 4-0-1 in Happ's last 5 starts vs. the AL West. The over is 5-1 in the last 6 games between these two teams. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB O/U Play |

St. Louis Cardinals +123 We backed St. Louis on Friday and while it took them 16 innings, they eventually cashed. This is another case where they have solid value at plus money. St. Louis has won 5 straight games as their offense continues to show they are never out of it. It was Jedd Gyorko this time who connected on a 2 run home run to even the game at 3 late, before Matt Adams sent everybody home happy with a walk off in the 16th. Mike Leake gets the ball for the Cards and has been vastly improving, like the rest of this Cardinals rotation. He has turned in back to back solid outings against Milwaukee and San Diego, allowing 1 run in each of those. Kenta Maeda counters him, trying to respond to a bad start last time out. He lasted just 4.1 innings against Arizona, as his stuff was just flat and continued to be left over the plate. With how hot this Cardinals offense is, if he brings that kind of stuff here, he won't last long this time around either. Some trends to consider. Cardinals are 7-2 in their last 9 Saturday games. Cardinals are 19-7 in their last 26 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Cardinals are hot right now. Grabbing them at this price is a nice way to go once again, as they continue to get quality starts. Back St. Louis ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

Rangers vs. Royals Over 8 The Texas Rangers and the Kansas City Royals will start at a little after 6 pm local time in this one. The gametime temperature is expected to be a ridiculous 98 degrees. That's some serious heat, and that is definitely good for the over. Cole Hamels has been good this year, but he has gotten a lot of good luck when it comes to stranding guys on base. That is likely to level out over time. Kansas City has been solid against left handed pitching this year as well. Texas has one of the worst bullpens in baseball, and that could play a big role as well. Yordano Ventura has been way off the mark all year. He was expected to be the team's best starter, but he hasn't been. Ventura has had serious problems with his command this year. The Rangers are a bit banged up, but they still have a lineup good enough to put together a few runs here. A couple of trends on this one. The over is 19-7-2 in Hamels last 28 starts. The over is 9-4 in Ventura's last 13 starts. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB O/U Play |

Cleveland Indians +122 The Indians and Orioles continue their weekend series and Cleveland at plus money is a nice move here. The Indians offense was shut down in the series opener, but the one thing they've been able to do on a consistent basis is bounce back after a loss. What better way to bounce back than with the guy who has been dominant following losses. Josh Tomlin gets the ball here, bringing his 10-2 record into this one. In his last 8 overall, Tomlin is 3-1 with a 2.89 ERA. He's been the Indians stopper all season long and with them now holding just a 6.0 game lead against Detroit, he needs to come up big here. Some trends to consider. Indians are 8-1 in their last 9 during game 2 of a series. Indians are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss. The Indians get a look at Kevin Gausman, who is just 1-7 on the season. Given Tomlin's success after a loss and the Indians success lately, this is a nice spot for the Indians at the listed price.

07-22-16 | Dodgers v. Cardinals +113 | 3-4 | Win | 113 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
St. Louis Cardinals +113 The Cardinals are catching fire and putting the pressure on the Cubs in NL Central. After coming from behind to secure a 4 game sweep, the Cardinals welcome in the Dodgers for a weekend series. At plus money, the Cardinals have value as they are playing with the most confidence they've played with all season long. St. Louis scored 4 in the 8th to erase a 5-1 deficit, something they haven't been doing all season long. The ability and confidence to come from behind is a giant aspect for this team. Brandon McCarthy goes for the Dodgers and while he's been good in his return from Tommy John Surgery, he's still struggled to give this team length. He''ll be going up against an offense that is averaging over 5 runs per game. Some trends to consider. Cardinals are 4-0 in their last 4 home games. Cardinals are 10-1 in their last 11 games vs. a right-handed starter. At plus money here, this is a nice spot to back St. Louis. The confidence factor, along with Michael Wacha not losing in 5 starts helps make this a nice play here. Back St. Louis ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* MLB ML Play |

07-22-16 | Giants -106 v. Yankees | 2-3 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
San Francisco Giants -106 The Giants and Yankees begin a weekend series and San Francisco, at this price, has extremely solid value. Madison Bumgarner has been north of -200 in almost all his starts this season. The Giants ace has been absolutely dominant and this case should be no different. Bumgarner has compiled a respectable ERA during interleague play of just 3.75. On the season, he sits with 10 wins while holding an ERA of 2.12. Tanaka counters him for New York and he's struggled a bit inside Yankee Stadium. Tanaka has an ERA of 4.71 in 10 home starts on the season. Some trends to consider. Giants are 14-6 in their last 20 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. Giants are 37-17 in their last 54 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. The Giants have gone 28-21 away from home on the season. It's no secret they've struggled as of late, but sending their ace to the mound is exactly what this team needs. Bumgarner is 4-0 in his last 4 interleague starts. Expect him to really give the Giants a quality start here, as they grab a road win. Back San Francisco ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

07-21-16 | Braves v. Rockies OVER 12 | 3-7 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
Braves vs. Rockies Over 12 The Braves and Rockies begin a 4 game set inside the confines of Coors Field and the total has value on the Over here. This play is mostly based on Rockies starter Chad Bettis. The RH has a 5.55 ERA on the season and those numbers find a way to get worse when he pitches at home. Bettis owns a 6.09 ERA in 8 home starts this season. The Over at Coors Field has been a solid bet to back thus far into the season as well. With the Rockies averaging 6.16 runs per game and conceding nearly 7 per game, the Over has gone 26-17-2 on the season. Some trends to consider. Over is 4-1-1 in Foltynewiczs last 6 starts during game 1 of a series. Over is 6-1 in Bettis' last 7 starts with 4 days of rest. Both of these starters have been Over pitchers on the season. Look for Atlanta's offense to really get things going here early as they come from one hitters park (Great American Ballpark) to another here in Coors Field. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

07-21-16 | Tigers v. White Sox OVER 10 | 2-1 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
Tigers vs. White Sox Over 10 The Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox start up a series on Thursday night. The weather is very hot in Chicago right now. Gametime temperatures are expected to be almost 90 degrees with high humidity. US Cellular is a good hitters park in general, and when the weather is like this it becomes a great hitters park. Expect the ball to be flying very well for this game. Mike Pelfrey is among the worst starters in all of baseball. The White Sox offense has been inconsistent overall this year, but they have blasted Pelfrey in the past and I expect no different in this contest. James Shields has pitched a bit better in his last couple starts, but he still can't get swinging strikes and strikeouts. He doesn't have powerful stuff at all, and this Detroit lineup is very good. They should have plenty of scoring chances. A couple of betting trends for this one. The over is 6-2 in Shields' last 8 starts. The over is 6-2 in the White Sox last 8 home games. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB O/U Play |
