MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Washington Nationals took a heartbreaking 4-3 loss at Chicago Sunday night as Cubs' David Bote hit a walk-off grand slam. The St. Louis Cardinals meanwhile recorded a 8-2 triumph at Kansas City Sunday afternoon for their fifth straight win. 

Cardinals righty Miles Mikolas (12-3, 2.74 ERA) is 4-0 over his last seven starts (Cardinals 6-1 in those games) and has allowed more than two runs just once in that span. Mikolas is 5-3 behind a 2.01 ERA in 11 home starts on the season.

The Nats turn to left-hander Tommy Milone (1-1, 5.50 ERA) who took a 10-hit, seven-run pounding from Atlanta over six innings his last time out. 

Nationals are 3-8 in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 6-16 in their last 22 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Cardinals are 4-0 in their last 4 home games vs. a left-handed starter and 5-2 in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning record.

8* play on St. Louis Cardinals. 

#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN

The Kansas City Royals have more or less given up on the season already and they enter Monday as losers of nine of their last 10. This looks like as good of a spot as any for Toronto to give 22 year old right-hander Sean Reid-Foley his big leagues debut. 

Reid-Foley has been rather dominant in the minors, going a combined 12-4 with a 2.98 ERA in 23 starts for Double-A New Hampshire and Buffalo and I think he'll make the most of his chance to play with the big boys. 

The Blue Jays scored a total of 31 runs in a 3-0 sweep against the Royals back in April and KC righty Brad Keller (4-5, 3.57 ERA) was tagged with one run on four hits in 0 2/3 innings out of the bullpen. 

Keller is 3-4 with a 4.09 ERA in 12 turns since becoming a starter in late May, but Royals are just 4-8 on those games and he has given up six runs on 12 hits with six walks in 12 1/3 innings in his last two starts, both Royals losses. 

KC is a pathetic 16-42 at home, Blue Jays are 19-7 in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Free pick on Toronto Blue Jays.

TOP RATED RUNLINE RIPPER

The Arizona Diamondbacks avoided the embarressment of getting swept at Cincinnati by beating the Reds 9-2 Sunday afternoon. They scored a total of five-homers in the victory, and I like their bats to stay hot here at Texas Monday night. 

Texas right-hander Bartolo Colon (6-10, 5.18 ERA) has been tagged with four earned runs of more in each of his last four outings and served up a pair of homers against Seattle his last time out. Colon is 1-3 with a 4.67 ERA in six career meetings with the Diamondbacks. 

Arizona counters with Zack Greinke (12-7, 2.89 ERA) who is 3-5 against Texas, despite a strong 2.61 ERA. The right-hander is having a solid season and Diamondbacks are 6-0 in Greinke's last 6 road starts.

Rangers are 8-21 in their last 29 vs. a team with a winning record. Diamondbacks are 10-3 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a losing record.

10* play on Arizona Diamondbacks RL.
