8* MLB - Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER: UNDER 6.5 I'm going to roll the dice on the UNDER 6.5 in Game 1 of Tuesday's AL Divisional Series between the Mariners and Astros. You got Justin Verlander on the mound for Houston. Verlander finished 18-4 with a 1.75 ERA and 0.829 WHIP in 28 starts. He faced off against Seattle 6 times this season and was great in all but one bad outing at Seattle back in late May. In the other 5 starts he gave up a mere 5 ER in 36 1/3 innings. In his last 3 starts, he went at least 7 innings and gave up just 1 ER. Logan Gilbert will get the rock for Seattle. Gilbert went 13-6 with a 3.25 ERA and 1.180 WHIP in 32 starts. He was 8-1 with a 3.16 ERA in 18 road starts. He faced off against Houston 4 times and pitched well in all 4, going at least 6 innings and giving up 3 or fewer runs in each start. Not only is this a great starting pitching matchup, but both are great out of the bullpen. I also feel like their could be some rust for Houston's offense after the long layoff from the division series. Give me the UNDER 6.5! |

8* MLB Padres/Mets Late Night Money Line MASSACRE: San Diego Padres +135 Not a massive bet for me, but still I think there's quite a bit of value with the Padres at +135 in Game 1 of their Wild Card series with the Mets. The Padres' Yu Darvish is getting absolute no respect in this game. He's 16-8 with a 3.10 ERA and 0.950 WHIP in 30 starts. He's only given up more than 4 runs in one start since early May. He's allowed 3 or fewer in each of his final 8 starts during the regular-season. Scherzer has allowed 4 or more ER in 3 of his last 8. All the games he allowed fewer than 4 was against non playoff teams. He's allowed 7 ER on 16 hits (3 HR) in his last two starts vs the Phillies and both of those were at home. Give me the Padres +135! |

10-04-22 | Diamondbacks -112 v. Brewers | 0-3 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
9* MLB Money Line MASSACRE: Arizona Diamondbacks -112 I really like Arizona as a mere -112 road favorite against the Brewers on Tuesday. It's going to be a really tough day to show up to the office for Milwaukee. Hanging on by a thread, Milwaukee kept their playoff hopes alive last night with a 6-5 win in 10 innings. Brewers scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th to send it to extra and then 2 more in the 10th. They didn't get to celebrate long. Less than 10 minutes later the Phillies beat the Astros and eliminated the Brewers from postseason play. Keep in mind this is a team that had control of the NL Central for a good portion of this season. Nothing is certain in baseball, but I just can't see Milwaukee being interested in playing these last two games. Not only that, they are facing a top tier starter in this one with Arizona sending out Zac Gallen, who is 12-3 with a 2.51 ERA and 0.899 WHIP in 30 starts. Give me the Diamondbacks -112! |

09-28-22 | Orioles +103 v. Red Sox | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
8* MLB - Situational Money Line MASSACRE: Baltimore Orioles +103 I really like the price here with the Orioles on the road against the Red Sox on Wednesday. These two have played a couple shootouts to open this series with Baltimore winning 14-8 on Monday and Boston bouncing back to win 13-9 on Tuesday. This to me comes down to witch starter can slow down the opposing offense and I have to give the edge to the Orioles Dean Kremer. In 19 starts this season, Kremer has a strong 3.06 ERA and 1.211 WHIP. Kremer was outstanding in his last start, throwing a complete game shutout at home against the Astros. On the flip side of this, Boston will have Rich Hill on the mound. Hill is 7-7 with a 4.89 ERA and 1353 WHIP in 24 starts. He's given up 8 runs on 13 hits in just 9 2/3 innings over his last 2 starts. He's also got an ugly 6.26 ERA and 1.543 WHIP in 10 home starts this season. The other big thing here is motivation. Boston is eliminated from postseason play, while the Orioles are still in the mix. Baltimore is 3.5-games back of the Mariners with 8 to play. As tough as it may be to overcome that margin, this team is going to lay it all on the line until they have been eliminated. Give me the Orioles +103! |

9* MLB Money Line MASSACRE: Milwaukee Brewers +100 I like the Brewers here at even money in Tuesday's series opener against the Cardinals. Milwaukee has a lot more to play for in these final days of the regular-season. St Louis all but has the NL Central wrapped up with a 6.5-game lead and just 8 games left to play. Milwaukee isn't playing for the division, they are trying to get in via the Wild Card. They are just 1.5-games back of the Phillies for the final Wild Card spot and 3 games back of the Padres for the second Wild Card spot. I also think the starting pitching matchup favors the Brewers. Milwaukee will send out Adrian Houser, who has pitched well of late. Houser has allowed 1 or fewer ER in 3 of his last 4 starts. The only exception coming against the Yankees. He's also got a strong history against St Louis with a 3.12 ERA in 10 career starts. Cardinals will go with Miles Mikolas. He's got a very respectable 3.35 ERA and 1.040 WHIP in 31 starts, but is just 5-10 with a 4.29 ERA and 1.236 WHIP in 17 road starts. I also think it's a bit of a tough spot for St Louis, who just played back-to-back series on the west coast against the Padres and Dodgers. Give me the Brewers +100! |

9* MLB Over/Under Total NO-BRAINER: White Sox/Guardians UNDER 7.5 I will gladly take my chances with the UNDER 7.5 in Wednesday's matchup between the White Sox and Guardians. Don't be fooled by last night's 10-7 final. There were 11 runs scored in extra innings. The game was tied 3-3 after 9 and it was 1-0 after 5.5 innings. I could see both teams struggling to get their offense going tonight. Cleveland is going to send out Triston McKenzie, who has a 3.03 ERA and 0.968 WHIP in 27 starts. He's also got a 2.29 ERA in his last 3 starts. Lance Lynn is 7-5 with a mediocre 3.99 ERA in 18 starts, but has been lights out of late with a 0.93 ERA and 0.776 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Give me the UNDER 7.5! |

09-20-22 | Astros v. Rays -140 | 5-0 | Loss | -140 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
9* MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER: Tampa Bay Rays -140 I'll take my chances on the Rays as a -140 home favorite against the Astros. This is a fade of Houston coming off yesterday's division clinching win. There's not much left at stake for the Astros, who are all but locked into the No. 2 seed and a first round bye in the playoffs. They are eight games back of the Yankees for the No. 1. The Blue Jays and Rays are the two next closest teams, but are in the same division as New York. They basically have a 7-game lead on Seattle for that No. 2 seed. Not only do we figure to see a hungover and sloppy looking Houston team, the Rays have their best starter on the mound in Shane McClanahan. He's 12-5 with a 2.13 ERA and 0.860 WHIP in 25 starts. He's been sharp of late with a 1.00 ERA and 0.778 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Give me the Rays -140! |

09-14-22 | Padres v. Mariners UNDER 7.5 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
10* MLB Over/Under PLAY OF THE MONTH (UNDER 7.5) Really like the UNDER 7.5 in Tuesday's game between the Padres and Mariners. It was a pitchers duel last night in the series opener. Seattle won the game 2-0. No surprise to see these two play tight low scoring games. Not just the talent on the mound, but also how much is at stake for both of these teams. The Padres only hope of making the playoffs is the Wild Card and there's only two up for grabs in a 3-team race (Braves or Mets are all but locked into the top Wild Card spot). As of today they hold the last spot, but are just 2 up on the Brewers. For Cleveland it's really looking like their only path to the postseason is to win the AL Central (Wild Card isn't out of the question). Right now they are just 3 up on the White Sox and 5 up on Chicago. Every game means a ton to them right now. I also love the starting pitching matchup here with Louis Castillo and Mike Clevinger. Castillo has been great since coming to Seattle. Clevinger has a 7.43 ERA in his last 3 starts, but two of those were against the Dodgers. In his last 7 starts against a team not named the Dodgers, Clevinger has allowed 2 or fewer runs 6 times and gave up 3 in another. Play the UNDER 7.5! |

10* MLB Interleague PLAY OF THE WEEK: Chicago White Sox -1.5, +110 I like the White Sox to cover the -1.5 run line in Tuesday's home game against the Rockies. Colorado has won 4 of their last 6, but all those games came at home. This team really struggles to score runs away from Coors Field. They are scoring just 3.0 runs/game on the road this year and have scored 3 or fewer runs in 10 of their last 12 road games. It's why I'm big on White Sox starter Michael Kopech bouncing back here after a couple of bad outings. Big thing to note with Kopech's recent struggles is both starts came on the road. Kopech has a 2.97 ERA and 1.005 WHIP in 12 home starts. He had an earlier start vs the Rockies in Coors back on 7/26 and didn't give up a run in 5 1/3 innings. Chad Kuhl will start for Colorado and he's 6-8 with a 5.54 ERA and 1.513 WHIP in 23 starts. He's got a 6.29 ERA in 13 road starts and a 7.07 ERA in his last 3 outings. White Sox scored just 3 runs in their last game, but had scored 38 runs in their previous 4 games with 5 or more in all 4 games. Give me the White Sox -1.5, +110! |

9* MLB Over/Under Total NO-BRAINER: Mariners/White Sox UNDER 7.5 I'll take my chances with the UNDER 7.5 in Wednesday's matchup between the Mariners and White Sox. It's been an offensive struggle for both teams in the first two games of this series. Seattle won the series opener by a score of 3-2 on Monday and then Chicago won 3-0 on Tuesday. Expect more of the same with today's pitching matchup, as the White Sox will send out Michael Kopech and the Mariners go with Luis Castillo. Kopech will be returning from a stint on the IL after dealing with some knee soreness in his last start back on August 22nd. Kopech has been rock-solid for Chicago this season, posting a 3.58 ERA and 1.211 WHIP in 23 starts. Castillo has been everything they hoped for and then some since coming over in a trade with Cincinnati. Castillo has a 2.39 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 6 starts with Seattle. Give me the UNDER 7.5! |

10* MLB - Over/Under PLAY OF THE MONTH: Nationals/Cardinals OVER 8 I love the OVER 8 in Tuesday's matchup between the Cardinals and Nationals. Washington is swinging a red-hot bat right now. They were unlucky scoring just 6 runs yesterday, as they left a staggering 14 guys on base. Nationals are hitting a scorching .308 as a team over their last 7 games. I like that offense to stay hot against the Cardinals' Jose Quintana, who has a 4.38 ERA and 2.188 WHIP in his last 3 starts. I also like St Louis to score early and often in this one. Washington is sending out Paolo ESpino, who is 0-6 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.399 WHIP in 15 starts. Give me the OVER 8! |

10* MLB - Money Line VEGAS INSIDER: San Francisco Giants -120 I'll take my chances with the Giants as a -120 home favorite against the Phillies on Sunday. Philadelphia has lost 5 of their last 6, including each of the first two games in this series. A big part of their struggles is the offense. In their lone win the Phillies put 18 runs on 22 hits against the Diamondbacks. In their 5 losses they have scored just 15 runs and 3 times finished a game with 5 or fewer hits. I have a hard time seeing their offense snapping out of their slump on the road against a top notch starter like the Giants Carlos Rodon. In 26 starts, Rodon has a 3.03 ERA and 1.057 WHIP. He's 6-2 with a 2.42 ERA and 1.119 WHIP in 12 home starts and has a 0.77 ERA and 0.943 in 2 career starts against the Phillies. Give me the Giants -120! |

10* MLB - Run Line VEGAS INSIDER: Atlanta Braves -1.5, -135 I'll gladly take my chances with the Braves on the -1.5 run line at home against the Rockies on Wednesday. Colorado stunned Atlanta with a 3-2 win in Tuesday's series opener, cashing in as a massive +300 underdog. A big reason for that was the strong start they got from Urena, though the Braves didn't do themselves any favors going just 2 for 13 with runners in scoring position. My money is on Atlanta's high-powered offense to bounce back in a big way, especially with Colorado sending out Ryan Feltner. In 12 starts this season, Feltner has an ugly 6.21 ERA and 1.414 WHIP. Atlanta will counter with the underrated Kyle Wright, who doesn't get near the hype he deserves. Wright is 16-5 with a 2.99 ERA and 1.131 WHIP in 24 starts. He's 3-0 with a 1.42 ERA and 0.895 WHIP in his last 3 outings. Give me the Braves -1.5, -135! |

10* MLB Run Line PLAY OF THE WEEK: St Louis Cardinals -1.5, -130 I'll take my chances with the Cardinals covering the -1.5 run line on the road against the Reds on Tuesday. St Louis has been right there with the Dodgers as the best team in baseball over the last month. The Cardinals won the series opener 13-4 over Cincinnati on Monday and I expect a similar outcome today. St Louis should have no problem staying hot offensively against the Reds' Justin Dunn, who has a 5.12 ERA and 1.499 WHIP in 4 starts. I also like the matchup here for Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson, as this is a Reds offense that has struggle to sustain any kind of consistency at the plate in August. Hudson has also owned Cincinnati, going 6-1 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.071 WHIP in 9 career starts against the Reds. Give me the Cardinals -1.5, -130! |

10* MLB Late Night VEGAS INSIDER: Padres/Giants UNDER 7.5 I'll take my chances with the UNDER 7.5 in Monday's series opener between the Padres and Giants. It's going to be a pretty cool night at Oracle Park with temps in the high 50's. That should work to the advantage of the pitchers. San Francisco will have Carlos Rodon on the mound. He's 12-6 with a 2.81 ERA and 1.032 WHIP in 25 starts. He's 6-1 with a 1.86 ERA in 11 home starts and has a 1.89 ERA and 0.789 WHIP in his last 3 outings. San Diego will counter with Mike Clevinger, who has a very respectable 3.45 ERA and 1.111 WHIP in 15 starts this season. The other big thing is both offenses have been struggling to produce of late. The Giants have scored 3 or fewer runs in 5 straight and 9 of their last 11. The Padres just put up a bunch of runs in a 3-game series at KC, but prior to that had scored 9 runs total in their previous 6 games. Give me the UNDER 7.5! |

10* Sunday Night Baseball VEGAS INSIDER: St Louis Cardinals -120 This to me is just too good a price to pass up on the Cardinals at home, especially with veteran Adam Wainwright on the mound. St Louis won in thrilling fashion Saturday, scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th to win 6-5. The 40-year-old (turns 41 in two days) is having another strong season with a 3.11 ERA and 1.171 WHIP in 25 starts. What I like is how good he's been at home this year. He's got a 2.11 ERA and 1.031 WHIP in 13 home starts. He also comes in with a 1.23 ERA and 0.727 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Atlanta will counter with Jake Odorizzi. He's been very average in 2022. Odorizzi is 5-5 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.268 WHIP in 16 starts. He was great in his last outing at Pittsburgh, giving up just 1 run in 6 innings, but that Pirates offense is a mess. The start before he gave up 5 runs in 5 innings at home against the Mets. He's also had trouble keeping it in the park, giving up 5 HR in his last 15 innings. That could be an issue with the wind expected to be blowing out to left center. Give me the Braves -120! |

8* MLB Over/Under Total KNOCKOUT: Rockies/Mets UNDER 8 I'll take my chances with the UNDER 8 in Saturday's matchup between the Rockies and Mets. I think we have an underrated starting pitching duel in this one. As is the case for a lot of Colorado pitchers, the Rockies Kyle Freeland has performed much better on the road than he has at home. Freeland has a 3.62 ERA in 11 road starts. In his last 3 road starts he's allowed 3 runs in 6 innings at St Louis, 2 runs in 5 2/3 innings at San Diego and 0 runs in 7 innings at Milwaukee. David Peterson will take the mound for the Mets. He's kind of an afterthought in New York's loaded rotation, but has posted a very respectable 3.33 ERA in 15 starts. He's been really good of late with a 1.80 ERA over his last 3 starts. He'll be facing a Rockies offense that is barely averaging over 3 runs/game on the road this year. Give me the UNDER 8! |

10* MLB Run Line MAX UNIT Top Play: Houston Astros -1.5, +105 I'll take my chances with the Astros covering the -1.5 run line at home against the Orioles in Friday's series opener. Houston should have no problem winning here by at least 2 runs with the big edge they have on the mound. Astros will turn to Lance McCullers, who has given up just 3 runs in his first 2 starts back from injury. Control has been a bit of a problem, but that should only get better the more comfortable he gets back on the mound. Baltimore is sending out Kyle Bradish, who has an ugly 6.25 ERA and 1.653 WHIP in 15 starts. Give me the Astros -1.5, +105! |

10* MLB - Over/Under VEGAS INSIDER: Guardians/Mariners UNDER 7.5 I'll take my chances with the UNDER 7.5 in Thursday's matchup between the Guardians and Mariners. Cleveland will have Triston McKenzie on the mound. He's red-hot coming into this start with a 1.66 ERA and 0.738 WHIP over his last 3 starts. McKenzie also owns a 1.77 ERA and 0.813 WHIP in 11 day starts this season. Seattle will counter with Marco Gonzalez, who has a solid 3.62 ERA and 1.236 WHIP in 12 home starts. Mariners have seen the UNDER cash in 28 of their last 41 home day games. UNDER is also 16-6 in Seattle's last 22 at home vs an AL starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.70 or better and 11-2 in their last 13 at home vs a starter who averages 5 or more K's per start.

10* MLB Over/Under MAX UNIT Top Play: Blue Jays/Red Sox OVER 9.5 I'll take my chances with the OVER 9.5 in Wednesday's AL East showdown between the Blue Jays and Red Sox. These two teams combined for 12 runs in the opener on Tuesday. There's a good chance we see even more offense today. Neither starting pitcher has been any good. Jose Berrios is 9-5, but owns a 5.39 ERA and 1.368 WHIP in 24 starts. He's also got a 6.82 ERA and 1.533 WHIP in 12 road starts. OVER is 10-2 in those 12 starts. Brayan Bello has a 10.50 ERA and an atrocious 2.500 WHIP in 3 starts. He's yet to make it past the 4th inning and has given up at least 4 runs in all 3 starts. Give me the OVER 9.5! |

08-23-22 | Nationals v. Mariners -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
10* MLB Late Night VEGAS INSIDER: Seattle Mariners -1.5, -120 I'll take my chances with the Mariners winning by 2 or more runs in Tuesday's series opener against the Nationals. Seattle should be extra motivated coming out of their off day after losing the finale 2 games in a 3-game series with the A's. The starting pitching matchup couldn't be more in their favor with the Mariners turning to Robbie Ray and Washington going with Erick Fedde. Ray hasn't been elite like he was in 2021, but still really good. He's got a 3.87 ERA and 1.197 WHIP in 24 starts. He's got a 2.80 ERA and 0.983 WHIP in 13 home starts. Fedde has a 4.95 ERA and 1.543 WHIP in 19 starts. He's got a 5.53 ERA and 1.677 WHIP in 9 road starts and a 9.00 ERA and 2.385 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Give me the Mariners -1.5, -120! |

08-22-22 | Reds v. Phillies -1.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
10* MLB Run Line PLAY OF THE WEEK: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5, -118 I'll take my chances with the Phillies covering the -1.5 run line in Monday's series opener at home against the Reds. Philly is due for a big game after losing 4 of their last 5 and will have a huge pitching edge on the mound with them sending out Noah Syndergaard and Cincinnati giving the rock to Luis Cessa. Syndergaard may not be the ace he was a few years back, but he's still one of the better starters in baseball and has pitched well in his last two outings. One of those being against the Reds, who he held to just 3 runs in 7 innings. As for Cessa, he made his first start since 2018 back in April. It wasn't pretty, as he have up 3 runs on 5 hits in the first inning before getting pulled. Overall he's got a 5.50 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 37 2/3 innings. Give me the Mets -1.5, -118! |

08-21-22 | Cardinals v. Diamondbacks UNDER 7.5 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
10* MLB Over/Under VEGAS INSIDER: Cardinals/Diamondbacks UNDER 7.5 I'll gladly take my chances with the UNDER 7.5 in Sunday's series finale between the Cardinals and Diamondbacks. These two saw 20+ runs in St Louis' blowout win on Saturday, but prior to that the UNDER had cashed in 8 straight games for Arizona. A lot of that is the Diamondbacks aren't as potent offensively after the trade deadline. I look for them to have a hard time pushing across runs against the Cardinals Jose Quintana. He's really been good for St Louis in his 3 starts since coming over from the Pirates. He's got a 2.65 ERA and 1.059 WHIP in those 3 starts and one of those was at Coors Field. On the flip side of this, Arizona has not just one of their best starts going, but a top tier starter in the NL on the mound in Merrill Kelly. He's 10-5 with a 2.81 ERA and 1.122 WHIP in 24 starts. I think he's more than up to the challenge of keeping this Cardinals offense in check. Give me the UNDER 7.5! |

08-20-22 | Mariners -1.5 v. A's | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
10* AL West Run Line PLAY OF THE YEAR: Seattle Mariners -1.5, -105 We cashed our free pick on the Mariners (-127 ML) and will fire back with Seattle on Saturday. I don't mind the money line here if you want to parlay it with another big favorite. I personally will be on the run line at -105. The Mariners are locked in at the plate right now. In their last 4 games they have put up 6, 8, 11 and 10 runs. Combining for 41 hits in the process. I'll take my chances they stay hot. I'll also roll the dice on getting more of the same from the A's offense. Oakland simply isn't a good offensive team and will be up against one of the Mariners' better starters in Logan Gilbert. He had a couple bad starts recently vs the Yankees, but bounced back in his last outing at Texas. He's 10-5 with a 3.58 ERA and 1.243 WHIP in 24 starts this year. He's 6.1 with a 3.12 ERA in 14 road starts and has a 2.85 ERA in 11 starts vs a division opponent. Give me the Mariners -1.5, -105! |

08-19-22 | White Sox v. Guardians -130 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
10* MLB Money Line SHARP PLAY I'll take my chances with the Guardians as a -130 home favorite against the White Sox. After taking a 2-0 series lead, Chicago dropped the final 2 games vs the Astros to split the series at home. They got trounced yesterday 21-5. That's an emotional series to come off of, plus the White Sox had to travel. Cleveland had Thursday off and have quietly went 9-3 in their last 12 games. I also like the starting pitching matchup for the Guardians. They will turn to Triston McKenzie, who has been great in 2022. McKenzie has a 3.08 ERA in 21 starts overall, 2.81 ERA in 8 home starts and a 2.61 ERA in his last 3 starts. He's faced the White Sox twice this year and has allowed just 2 runs on 5 hits in 10 innings of work. Cleveland won both games. Lance Lynn will get the ball for Chicago. He's a well known name and has pitched well in his last few starts. Thing is, those last 3 starts have come against the Royals (twice) and Tigers. He's 0-3 with a 7.46 ERA and 1.619 WHIP in 5 road starts. Give me the Guardians -130! |

08-18-22 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -136 | Top | 9-2 | Loss | -136 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
10* AL Central PLAY OF THE WEEK (Yankees -136) I'll gladly take my chances with New York as a mere -136 home favorite against the Blue Jays. It feels like the Yankees may have turned a corner with last night's improbable 8-7 win in 10 innings. After trailing 4-0 going into the bottom of the 6th, the Yankees got it tied at 4-4 after 8, only to give up 3 in the top of the 10th. Then came a walk-off grand slam by Josh Donaldson. With the way things were going, that win had to inject so much life into that Yankee's clubhouse. My money is on them to carry it over and secure another win today. Helps the Blue Jays are sending out Jose Berrios, who has a 7.50 ERA and 1.593 WHIP in 11 road starts and a 8.59 ERA over his last 3 outings. Not to mention a 5.05 ERA and 1.415 WHIP in 8 career starts vs New York. Give me the Yankees -136! |

08-17-22 | Rockies v. Cardinals UNDER 7.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Under 7.5) I'll take my chances with the Rockies and Cardinals finishing UNDER the total of 7.5. Colorado will have German Marquez on the mound. He's pitched great in his last 2 starts, giving up just 2 ER in 6 innings both starts. Marquez also has a great history against the Cardinals. He's got a 2.59 ERA and 1.200 WHIP in 7 career starts vs St Louis. The Cardinals will counter with Jordan Montgomery, who has pitched great since coming over from the Yankees at the trade deadline. Montgomery has not allowed a run in his first 2 starts with St Louis. Definitely a plus matchup here against a Rockies team that struggles to score away from Coors Field. Give me the UNDER 7.5! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

08-16-22 | Rockies v. Cardinals -1.5 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 21 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Cardinals -1.5, +100) I'll take my chances with St Louis covering the -1.5 run line at home against the Rockies in Tuesday's series opener. Colorado goes from being a mediocre team at home to one of the worst in the league on the road. Big part of that is their offense just doesn't produce outside of Coors Field (3.2 runs/game). That figures to be a problem. Cardinals will have veteran Jose Quintana on the mound. Quintana is having a return to glory moment in 2022. HE's got a 3.21 ERA in 22 starts., He's posted a 2.34 ERA when pitching at home and owns a 1.53 ERA and 1.019 WHIP over his last 3 outings. On the flip side, Kyle Freeland for the Rockies has a 4.84 ERA and 1.412 WHIP in 22 starts. He's also got a 6.19 ERA and 1.750 WHIP in his last 3 outings. One of those just so happened to be against St Louis and he gave up 6 runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings. Give me the Cardinals -1.5, +100! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

08-15-22 | Cubs -128 v. Nationals | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -128 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Cubs -128) I'll take my chances with the Cubs as a slim -128 road favorite against the Nationals in Monday's series opener between these NL bottom feeders. Even with a loss on Sunday, Chicago has won 6 of their last 9. They also continue to produce at the plate and should stay hot against Washington's Josiah Gray. He's just 7-8 with a 4.81 ERA in 21 starts and has a 6.75 ERA and 1.579 WHIP in 10 home starts. Cubs will turn to Marcus Stroman, who has thrived away from home this year. Stoman has a 2.26 ERA and 0.987 WHIP in 9 road starts. Definitely a plus matchup for him against this current Nationals lineup. Give me the Cubs -128! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

08-14-22 | Cubs -144 v. Reds | Top | 5-8 | Loss | -144 | 5 h 57 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Cubs -144) I'll take my chances with the Cubs as a -144 road favorite against the Reds. Chicago is playing extremely well right now. Not only have they won the first two games in this series, they are 6-2 over their last 8 games. They have swung the bats well during this stretch and figure to stay hot against Cincinnati's Justin Dunn. On the flip side of this, the Reds offense is nowhere to be found. Cincinnati has scored 2 or fewer runs in 5 straight games. Cubs' Keegan Thompson comes in with a 3.06 ERA and 1.188 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Give me the Cubs -144! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

08-13-22 | Brewers -125 v. Cardinals | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Brewers -125) I"ll take my chances with the Brewers as a slim -125 road favorite against the Cardinals. This is just too good a price on Milwaukee with ace Corbin Burnes on the mound. Burns is having another great season. He's got a 2.45 ERA and 0.934 WHIP in 22 starts. He's also been better on the road than he has at home. He's got a 2.01 ERA and 0.926 WHIP in 10 road starts. He's also faced St Louis twice this year and has not allowed a run, giving up just 4 hits with 21 K's in 14 innings. Adam Wainwright will go for St Louis. He's been rock solid in 2022, but he was just roughed up at home in his last start by the Yankees. NY took him for 6 runs on 8 hits in 4 innings. Wainwright has also had a tough time this year against the Brewers. He's faced Milwaukee 3 times and has allowed 12 runs on 25 hits in just 14 innings of work. Give me the Brewers -125! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

08-12-22 | Brewers v. Cardinals -155 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 23 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Cardinals -155) I'll take my chances with St Louis as a -155 home favorite against the Brewers. Cardinals will have newly acquired Jordan Montgomery on the mound. Montgomery will be making his second start since coming over from the Yankees. Just so happens his first start was against the Yankees and he pitched great, giving up just 2 hits over 5 scoreless innings. Milwaukee is going with Eric Lauer, who has a mediocre 4.48 ERA and 1.303 WHIP in 11 road starts. Lauer also comes in with an ugly 6.26 ERA and 1.652 WHIP over 5 career starts against St. Louis. Give me the Cardinals -155! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

08-11-22 | Orioles v. Red Sox OVER 9.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
MLB Over/Under VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Over 9.5) I'll take my chances with the OVER 9.5 in Thursday's makeup game between AL East rivals Baltimore and Boston. The Orioles just keep winning baseball games. They are 7-1 over their last 8 games. Boston on the other hand can't catch a break Red Sox have lost 6 of their last 7. Baltimore's offense is swinging it well and should be able to take advantage of Red Sox starter Josh Winckowski. Even though Boston isn't, they are swinging a decent bat of late. Red Sox have racked up 51 hits in their last 5 games. Baltimore's Dean Kremer was great in his last start, but that was against a bad Pirates offense. He'd allowed 6 runs in 4 1/3 innings his previous time out. He's also given up 10 runs on 12 hits in 2 starts (7 2/3 innings) against Boston. Give me the OVER 9.5! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Astros -1.5, -140) I'll take my chances on the Astros winning by at least 2 runs and covering the -1.5 run line in Wednesday's matchup with the Rangers. Houston is going to have ace Justin Verlander on the mound. Verlander has allowed a whopping 6 ER over his last 7 starts against Texas. He's got a 0.87 ERA and 0.726 WHIP over his last 3 starts in 2022 and is 7-1 with a 1.93 ERA in 9 home starts this season. Glenn Otto will be on the mound for the Rangers. He's got a 5.31 ERA and 1.410 WHIP in 16 starts this year and a 5.31 ERA and 1.554 WHIP in 4 career starts (all 4 losses) against Houston. Give me the Astros -1.5, -140!

08-09-22 | Blue Jays -162 v. Orioles | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -162 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play on Blue Jays -162 I'll take my chances with the Blue Jays as a -162 road favorite against the Orioles in Game 2 of their 3-game series. We played and won with Baltimore yesterday, largely because of the edge the Orioles had on the mound. Toronto has the big advantage today, as they send out Alek Manoah to face Kyle Bradish. Manoah has a 2.45 ERA and 0.992 WHIP in 21 starts this season. He's got a 2.42 ERA and 0.672 WHIP in 4 career starts vs the Orioles. Bradish has a 6.55 ERA and 1.651 WHIP in 12 starts this season. His only career start vs the Blue Jays came earlier this year in Toronto. He gave up 5 runs on 9 hits in 4 1/3 innings of a 11-1 loss. Give me the Blue Jays -162! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

08-08-22 | Blue Jays v. Orioles +128 | 4-7 | Win | 128 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
MLB Underdog NO-BRAINER (Orioles +128) I'll take my chances on the Orioles taking Game 1 of their series against the Blue Jays. Baltimore lost the series finale against the Pirates on Sunday, but overall are playing great baseball. They had won 5 straight prior to the setback. They are just 1-game back of a Wild Card spot. They know if they want to make the playoffs, they got to step up in a big series like this against another contender. I definitely give them the edge on the mound. It will be Baltimore's Jordan Lyles vs the Blue Jays Yusei Kikuchi. Lyles is just 8-8 with a 4.40 ERA, but he's been a different pitcher at home. He's got a 2.68 ERA in 9 home starts. Kikuchi is 4-5 with a 4.86 ERA in 18 starts and has a 5.75 ERA and 1.915 WHIP in 9 road starts. Give me the Orioles +128! Confidence Rating: 8 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (UNDER 7.5) I'll take my chances with the UNDER 7.5 in Sunday's series finale between the Reds and Brewers. Cincinnati figures to have a hard time getting their offense going against Milwaukee ace Corbin Burnes, who is one of the elite starters in baseball. Burnes comes in with a 2.49 ERA and 0.946 WHIP in 21 starts. He's got a 2.51 ERA and 1.117 WHIP in 2 career starts against the Reds. Cincinnati will counter with Graham Ashcraft. He's 5-2 with a mediocre 4.12 ERA and 1.332 WHIP in 13 starts. However, he's coming in off one of his best starts of the season and is facing a Brewers offense that has hit of a bit of a funk offensively in this series. Give me the UNDER 7.5!

MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Diamondbacks -1.5, +120) I'll take my chances with the Diamondbacks covering the -1.5 run line at home against the Rockies. Arizona has a huge edge on the mound in this one. Diamondbacks will send out Merrill Kelly, who is now 10-5 with a 2.87 ERA and 1.125 WHIP in 21 starts. Kelly has really been on a roll of late. He's had 6 consecutive Quality Starts, as he's pitched at least 6 innings and allowed 2 or fewer runs in each of his last 6 outings. Doesn't hurt he's facing a Rockies team that has really fallen off in the 2nd half. Colorado is just 4-13 over their last 17 games. Rockies will start Antonio Senzatela, who has a 6.16 ERA and 1.695 WHIP in 6 road starts this season. All 6 of those starts have ended in losses for Colorado. Give me the Diamondbacks -1.5, +120!

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (White Sox -1.5, +100) I'll take my chances on the White Sox covering the -1.5 run line on the road against the Rangers. Chicago should have no problem winning here by 2+ runs. White Sox will have ace Dylan Cease on the mound. He's 11-4 with a 2.01 ERA and 1.174 WHIP in 21 starts. Cease also has a 1.30 ERA in 9 road starts and a 0.47 ERA over his last 3 outings. Glenn Otto will be on the mound for Texas. He's 4-7 with a 5.50 ERA and 1.459 WHIP in 15 starts. Otto has had a tough time at home this year, posting a 7.39 ERA and 1.706 WHIP in 7 home starts. Give me the White Sox -1.5, +100! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Astros -1.5, -109) I'll take my chances on the Astros covering the -1.5 run line on the road in Thursday's series opener at Cleveland. Houston will have ace Justin Verlander on the mound. Verlander is 14-3 with a 1.81 ERA and 0.871 WHIP in 19 starts. He's got a 0.87 ERA and 0.871 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Cleveland will turn to Zach Plesac. He's just 2-9 with a 4.24 ERA in 19 starts. Plesac has really struggled of late, posting a 6.58 ERA and 1.536 WHIP over his last 3 starts. The other big thing is Plesac's history against Houston. He's got a 10.24 ERA and 1.965 WHIP in 2 career starts vs the Astros. One of those coming this season, where he gave up 7 runs in 4 2/3 innings. Give me the Astros -1.5, -109! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Astros -1.5, +100) I'll take my chances with the Astros covering the -1.5 run line at home against the Red Sox. Easy play here on Houston to win this game by 2 or more runs. Astros will have Jose Urquidy on the mound, while Boston sends out Brayan Bello. Urquidy is 9-4 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.211 WHIP in 19 starts. He's got a 2.84 ERA and 0.947 WHIP in his last 3 starts and a 2.64 ERA in 8 home starts. Bello has a 10.50 ERA and 2.500 WHIP in 3 starts. It's not just been one bad outing. He's given up 4 or more runs in all 3 starts with 8 BBs to just 9 K's in 12 innings of work. Give me the Astros -1.5, +100! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Interleague PLAY OF THE WEEK (Guardians -130) I'll take my chances with the Guardians as a -130 home favorite against the Diamondbacks. Cleveland has won 5 of their last 7, including yesterday's 6-5 win in extra innings against Arizona. The Diamondbacks have lost 4 in a row. This to me is just too good a price to pass up with the Guardians. Cleveland will have a red-hot Triston McKenzie on the mound. in his last 5 starts, McKenzie has given up a mere 5 ER. He's 3-1 with a 2.89 ERA and 0.911 WHIP in 6 home starts. His last two at home, he's held the Yankees scoreless over 7 innings and the Tigers scoreless over 8 innings. Give me the Guardians -130!

LA will have Andrew Heaney on the mound and San Francisco will have Logan Webb. Heaney has made 4 starts in 2022 and has given up just 1 ER on 10 hits in 19 1/3 innings. Webb is 7-2 with a 2.43 ERA and 1.170 WHIP in 11 home starts. Webb also has an impressive 2.50 ERA and 0.993 WHIP in 9 career starts vs the Dodgers. Give me the UNDER 8!

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Blue Jays -1.5, -130) I'll take my chances with the Blue Jays cover the -1.5 run line at home against the Tigers in Sunday's series finale. Toronto is fresh off a 5-3 win on Saturday, as they have taken 2 of the first 3 in this 4 game series. Blue Jays should have no trouble winning this one by at least 2 runs. A big reason for that is who the Tigers have on the mound. Detroit is going to send out Garrett Hill for his 5th start. The first 4 haven't exactly gone great. Hill has a 5.57 ERA overall and a 8.10 ERA in his 2 starts away from home. Toronto will counter with Jose Berrios, who has pitched much better of late. Berrios also has been a lot better at home this year. He's got a 5.20 ERA and 1.370 WHIP in 20 starts, yet owns a 3.47 ERA and 1.211 WHIP in 10 home starts. Give me the Blue Jays -1.5, -130!

MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Blue Jays -1.5, -145) I'll take my chances with the Blue Jays covering the -1.5 run line at home against the Tigers. Toronto is a prime spot here to bounce back with a win after yesterday's loss. Blue Jays will have Ross Stripling on the mound. Stripling has a 2.94 ERA and 1.025 WHIP in 14 starts. He's got a 2.70 ERA in 7 home starts and a 2.25 ERA in his last 3 outings. In his lone start vs Detroit this year, Stripling allowed just 1 hit over 6 scoreless innings. Tigers on the other hand will send out Drew Hutchison, who has a very mediocre 4.97 ERA and 1.379 WHIP in 6 starts. In his last 2 starts, Hutchison has given up 8 runs on 12 hits in just 9 1/3 innings of work. Give me the Blue Jays -1.5, -140. Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play on UNDER 7.5 I'll take my chances with the UNDER 7.5 in Friday's matchup between the Cubs and Giants. San Francisco won the opener 4-2 on Thursday. It was a real tough day at the plate for Chicago, who managed just 3 hits on the game. I think we see those struggles carry over to this game. San Francisco will have Alex Cobb on the mound. He's posted a respectable 3.32 ERA over his last 3 starts. I also don't see the Giants offense doing a whole lot. San Francisco has been in quite the funk offensively of late. In their last 7 games they are scoring just 2.4 runs/game and hitting 0.189 as a team. Cubs starter, Marcus Stroman, has a 2.31 ERA in 7 road starts and a 1.26 ERA and 0.907 WHIP over his last 3 outings. Give me the UNDER 7.5! |

07-28-22 | Tigers v. Blue Jays -1.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Blue Jays -1.5, -105) I'll take my chances on the Blue Jays covering the -1.5 run line in Thursday's series opener at home against the Tigers. Toronto should have no problem winning here by 2+ runs with Detroit sending out Tyler Alexander for the start. Alexander has a 8.76 ERA and 1.784 WHIP in 4 starts. Last 2 times out he's given up 9 runs on 11 hits (3 HR) in just 6 innings of work. Toronto did manage to score just 1 run in yesterday's loss to the Cardinals, but overall this offense has been clicking of late. Blue Jays are scoring 8.7 runs/game and hitting a ridiculous .338 as a team over their last 7 games. Give me the Blue Jays -1.5, -105! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Blue Jays -1.5, -115) I'll take my chances with the Blue Jays covering the -1.5 run line at home against the short-handed Cardinals. St Louis is playing this series without two of their top sluggers in Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt, as neither are eligible to play in Toronto (unvaccinated). Cardinals were able to put up 3 runs in the 1st inning in the series opener last night, but didn't score another run the rest of the way and lost 10-3. Toronto is red-hot at the plate, averaging 9.7 runs/game over their last 7 games. St Louis will also be starting Adam Wainwright, who is just 3-5 with a 4.81 ERA and 1.397 WHIP in 10 road starts. Toronto on the other hand will have one of their top starters going in Kevin Gausman. Give me the Blue Jays -1.5, -115! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-26-22 | Giants v. Diamondbacks UNDER 8.5 | Top | 3-7 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
MLB Over/Under PLAY OF THE WEEK (UNDER 8.5) I'll take my chances with the UNDER 8.5 in Tuesday's MLB action between the Giants and Diamondbacks. I just don't see these two teams getting to 9 runs with this starting pitching matchup. San Francisco will send out ace Carlos Rodon, who has a 2.95 ERA and 1.136 WHIP in 19 starts. Rodon did struggle in his last start at the Dodgers, giving up 5 ER in 5 innings. However, that's only the third start this season where he's allowed more than 3 runs. Last time he gave up more than 3 runs, he came back the next start and pitched a complete game. Tyler Gilbert will get the ball for Arizona. Gilbert has a 5.59 ERA and 1.280 WHIP in 6 starts. Thing is, he had two really bad outings on the road, where he gave up 12 ER. He's allowed just 5 ER in his 4 other outings and just 1 ER in two home starts. Give me the UNDER 8.5! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-25-22 | Rangers v. Mariners -143 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
5* MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Mariners -143) I'll take my chances on the Mariners as a -143 home favorite against the Rangers. Seattle took a 14-game win streak into the All-Star break. They came out of the break and were swept in a 3-game series at home by division rival Houston. My money is on the Mariners to bounce back with a win in their series opener with Texas. Seattle will send out Chris Flexen, who has a strong 3.79 ERA in 18 starts and posted a 1.10 ERA over his last 3 starts. Flexen has a 2.52 ERA and 1.009 WHIP in 6 starts vs the Rangers. His team is 6-0 in those games. Give me the Mariners -143! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

Monday's Free MLB Pick: Kansas City Royals -105 I'll take my chances with the Royals as a -105 home favorite against the Angels in Monday's series opener. KC just took 2 of 3 at home against the Rays. LA won on Sunday, but are just 1-5 in their last 6. The other big thing here is the home/away splits for today's two starters. Angels are going with Noah Syndergaard, who is 1-5 with a 5.96 ERA and 1.480 WHIP in 6 road starts. KC will counter with Zack Greinke, who is 3-1 with a 1.86 ERA and 1.009 WHIP in 7 home starts. Give me the Royals -105! Confidence Rating: 5 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-24-22 | Angels v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 9-1 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 7 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Braves -1.5, -105) I'll take my chances with the Braves covering the -1.5 run line at home against the Angels. Atlanta won the series opener 8-1 on Friday and then cruised to a 7-2 win on Saturday. That's now 5 straight losses for the Angels, who continue to play without Mike Trout. LA's offense has been dreadful during this stretch, scoring just 7 runs in 5 games during the losing streak. Hard to not expect more of the same with Ian Anderson on the mound for Atlanta. Anderson had a strong 2.30 ERA over his final 3 starts before the All-Star break. Reid Detmers will go for the Angels. He's got a 4.11 ERA in 14 starts and a 5.26 ERA and 1.402 WHIP in 6 road starts. Worth noting that Detmers is a south paw. Braves are averaging 5.7 runs/game vs lefty starters this season. Give me the Braves -1.5, -105! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-23-22 | Twins v. Tigers UNDER 8.5 | Top | 8-4 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Under 8.5) I'll take my chances with the UNDER 8.5 in Saturday's AL Central matchup between the Tigers and Twins. We got Joe Ryan on the mound for Minnesota and Michael Pineda going for Detroit. Ryan has been excellent in 2022. He's 6-3 with a 2.99 ERA and 1.062 WHIP in 14 starts. He allowed just 1 hit with 9 K's in 7 scoreless innings in his only start vs the Tigers this season. Pineda is just 2-5 with a 5.22 ERA and 1.362 WHIP in 9 starts. The key here is the damage has mainly come on the road for Pineda. He's got a 2.96 ERA and 1.134 WHIP in 6 home starts. UNDER is 5-1 in those 6 home starts. Give me the UNDER 8.5! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-22-22 | Astros v. Mariners +106 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 0 m | Show |
MLB Late Night MAX UNIT Top Play (Mariners +106) I'll take my chances with Seattle returning from the All-Star break an extending their 14-game winning streak. A big reason for that, is the Mariners are catching the Astros in a great spot here. Houston just played a double-headed at home against the Yankees on Thursday. Will be tough for them to bring that same energy on the road. Astros will have Justin Verlander on the mound, but Seattle's Marco Gonzales has been great against Houston this season. Gonzales has made 3 starts vs the Astros and given up just 6 ER in 20 1/3 innings of work. Give me the Mariners +106! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-21-22 | Yankees v. Astros -112 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 48 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Astros -112) I'll take my chances with Houston as a slim -112 home favorite against the Yankees. This is for Game 1 of their double-header. I just think the Astros are going to be the more motivated team. All the other teams are sick of hearing about the Yankees, especially a team like Houston, who is quietly sitting there just 4.5 back of New York for the best record in the league. Astros will have one of their better starters going in Christian Javier. Outside of his command, his stuff has been electric of late. Guy has 31 K's in his last 3 starts, which is only 15 1/3 innings. He's had no fewer than 7 and 10+ K's in 3 of his last 4 outings. Last time he faced the Yankees, Houston threw a combined no-hitter (he went 7 innings). Give me the Astros -112! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-17-22 | Mariners -122 v. Rangers | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 59 m | Show |
MLB AL West PLAY OF THE WEEK (Mariners -122) I'll take my chances with the Mariners as a slim -122 road favorite against the Rangers. Seattle just keeps finding ways to win games. They defeated the Rangers 3-2 in 10 innings last night. That's now 13 wins in a row for the Mariners. No way we are passing up on them at this price. Seattle will have Chris Flexen on the mound. He's been rock solid for the Mariners in 2022, posting a 3.84 ERA in 17 starts. Arguably Seattle's third best pitcher behind Logan Gilbert and Robbie Ray. Flexen has loved facing Texas. He's 4-0 with a 2.53 ERA and 0.969 WHIP in 5 career starts vs the Rangers. Texas will counter with Glenn Otto, who has a 5.50 ERA and 1.509 WHIP in 12 starts. Otto has been even worse when he takes the mound at home this year, posting a 8.07 ERA and 1.871 WHIP in 6 starts. Give me the Mariners -122! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-16-22 | Brewers v. Giants -125 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
National League PLAY OF THE MONTH (Giants -125) I'll take my chances with San Francisco as a -125 home favorite against the Brewers on Saturday. I see a ton of value with the Giants at this price. San Francisco is playing well as they finish up their last series before the All-Star break. Giants won 8-5 on Friday and are now 5-2 over their last 7 games. I think the value here comes from Giants' starter Alex Cobb. The numbers aren't great. He's just 3-4 with a 5.00 ERA and 1.413 WHIP in 13 starts. However, the advanced numbers suggest he's actually been pretty good. He's got a 3.14 FIP and 2.96 FIP. He's been very unlucky with a .339 BABIP and just a 58.0% LOB%. Just to give you a comparison of Cobb's misleading numbers. Milwaukee's Eric Lauer is 6-3 with a 3.83 ERA in 16 starts. Yet he has a 4.59 FIP, a mere .268 BABIP and 78% LOB%. Give me the Giants -125! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-15-22 | Red Sox v. Yankees UNDER 8 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (UNDER 8) I'll take my chances with the UNDER 8 in Friday's series opener between the Red Sox and Yankees. Really like the starting pitching matchup we have going in this one. Boston will send out Nathan Eovaldi, while the Yankees turn to Jordan Montgomery. Eovaldi has been sensational of late. He's got a 0.90 ERA and 0.950 WHIP in his last 3 starts and is coming off back to back starts on the road where he didn't give up a run. Montgomery has a 3.19 ERA and 0.833 WHIP in 8 home starts. As good as these two offenses are, I don't see them getting to 9 runs tonight. Give me the UNDER 8! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-14-22 | Astros v. Angels UNDER 8 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
MLB Over/Under TOTAL OF THE WEEK (Under 8) I'll take my chances with the UNDER 8 in Thursday's AL West matchup between the Angels and Astros. I really have a hard time seeing these two teams get to 9 runs. I definitely doing much offensively. Houston has Framber Valdez on the mound. He's got a 2.64 ERA and 1.101 WHIP in 17 starts. He's also got a 1.75 ERA and 0.900 WHIP in 10 road starts. The key here is we can't have Angels' starter Reid Detmers not blow up. I like his chances of pitching well. Detmers has a very respectable 3.52 ERA and outstanding 0.809 WHIP in 7 home starts. Detmers also has a 2.70 ERA over 2 career starts (1 this year and 1 last year) against the Astros. Give me the UNDER 8! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-13-22 | Astros v. Angels -117 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Angels -117) I'll take my chances with the Angels as a slim -117 home favorite against the Astros on Wednesday. LA is just 2-8 in their last 10 games, but none of that matters with Shohei Ohtani on the mound. In fact, the Angels have won each of Ohtani's last 5 starts. Ohtani is in the midst of his best stretch of his career, as he has not allowed an ER in 4 straight starts, which has spanned 26 2/3 innings. He's got a ridiculous 34 K's in his last 20 2/3 innings of work. Houston will send out Cristian Javier. He's got a respectable 3.55 ERA and 1.058 WHIP in 12 starts, but owns a very mediocre 4.21 ERA and 1.325 WHIP in 5 road starts. Give me the Angels -117! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-12-22 | Brewers v. Twins -135 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -135 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Twins -135) I'll take my chances with the Twins as a -135 home favorite against the Brewers in Tuesday's series opener. Milwaukee comes into this series having lost 4 of 5 and and it's comes in two series against the Cubs and Pirates at home. I have a hard time seeing them getting back on track with the big edge Minnesota has on the mound. Twins will turn to Josh Winder, who has really impressed in his 5 starts so far in 2022. Winder is 4-1 with a 1.71 ERA and 1.101 WHIP. Milwaukee will counter with Jason Alexander, who has a 4.32 ERA and 1.680 WHIP in 6 starts. It's gotten worse for Alexander of late, as he owns a 6.48 ERA and 1.620 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Give me the Twins -135! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-11-22 | White Sox v. Guardians +102 | Top | 4-8 | Win | 102 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Guardians +102) I'll take my chances with the Guardians as a +102 home dog against the White Sox. Cleveland will have Cal Quantrill on the mound. He's 3-0 with a 3.24 ERA and 1.080 WHIP in 8 home starts. Chicago will counter with Lance Lynn, who has a 5.33 ERA and 1.333 WHIP in 5 starts. Lynn has really struggled since joining the rotation in mid June. Last time out he gave up 5 runs in 5 innings at home vs the Twins. Give me the Guardians +102!

07-10-22 | Rays -136 v. Reds | Top | 5-10 | Loss | -136 | 4 h 52 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Rays -136) I'll take my chances with the Rays as a -136 road favorite against the Reds. My money is on Tampa Bay to avoid the sweep in this 3-game series at Cincinnati. Big reason for that is who the Rays have on the mound. Shane Baz has been outstanding in 5 starts for TB. He's got a 2.92 ERA and 1.135 WHIP. In just his last 3 starts, he's got a 1.65 ERA and that's come against the Blue Jays, Brewers and Yankees. I love him to keep this struggling Reds offense in check and for the Rays offense to do enough here to secure a win. Give me Tampa Bay -136! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Over/Under PLAY OF THE WEEK (Under 8.5) I'll take my chances with the UNDER 8.5 in Saturday's AL Central matchup between the Tigers and White Sox. Chicago will have veteran Johnny Cueto on the mound. Cueto has been better than expected for the White Sox. He's got a strong 3.11 ERA and 1.200 WHIP over 9 starts. He's been especially good in day games (1.42 ERA in 3 starts). He also has a 1.50 ERA in division games. Detroit will counter with Garrett Hill. He was spectacular in his first big league start. Hill allowed just 1 run on 2 hits in 6 innings against Cleveland. The only run he gave up came on a solo home run. It's unlikely he's that good in start number two, but I don't see him blowing up. Give me the UNDER 8.5! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

07-08-22 | Tigers v. White Sox -168 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -168 | 11 h 59 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (White Sox -168) I'll take my chances with the White Sox as a -168 home favorite against the Tigers. It's not been a great 2022 for Chicago starter Lucas Giolito, but he seems to have figured some things out. In his last two outings, Giolito has went on the road and pitched well at LA and San Francisco. He held the Angels to just 2 runs in 6 innings and 1 run in 6 innings against the Giants. While Giolito is trending in the right direction, Tigers' starter Tarik Skubal has hit a rough stretch. Skubal has a 8.99 ERA and 1.784 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Skubal also has a poor history when starting against the White Sox. He's got a 6.95 ERA and 1.909 WHIP in 5 starts. Give me the White Sox -168! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (OVER 9.5) I'll take my chances with the OVER 9.5 in Thursday's NL West clash between the Rockies and Diamondbacks. We should see plenty of offense in this one, as we got a couple of struggling starters taking the mound. Colorado will turn to Austin Gomber, who is 4-7 with a 6.42 ERA and 1.442 WHIP in 13 starts. Gomber has made 3 starts vs Arizona in his career, all since 2021, and all 3 have seen a combined score of at least 13 runs. Dallas Keuchel will go for the Diamondbacks. He's 2-6 with a 8.49 ERA and 2.105 WHIP in 10 starts and it isn't getting any better. He's got a 12.71 ERA and 2.383 WHIP over his last 3 starts. He's only faced Colorado once in the last 5 years. It didn't go well, giving up 7 runs in 5 innings of a 7-11 loss. Give me the OVER 9.5! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (OVER 8.5) I'll take my chances with the OVER 8.5 in Wednesday's interleague matchup between the Yankees and Pirates. These two teams should have no problem getting to at least 9 runs. New York could easily eclipse this number on their own, but they should get some help from Pittsburgh. Pirates have scored 5 or more runs in 4 of their last 6 games. Yankees' Luis Severino has a 4.32 ERA in 6 road starts and a 5.29 ERA over his last 3 outings. New York's loaded lineup will be facing Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller. In 13 starts this season, Keller has a disappointing 5.34 ERA and 1.500 WHIP. Play the OVER 8.5!

07-05-22 | Rangers v. Orioles +100 | Top | 9-10 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show |
MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Orioles +100) I'll take my chances with the Orioles at even money at home against the Rangers. Baltimore won the series opener 7-6 on Monday and are in prime position to build off of that victory. Orioles will have Austin Voth on the mound as an opener. Voth has been great in his first 3 starts, giving up just 2 ER over 8 2/3 innings. Him not going deep is not an issue with Baltimore's strong bullpen. Texas on the other hand will be sending out Spencer Howard, who is making just his second start of the season and first since early April. Howard gave up 6 runs in 3 innings and was lucky to give up just that as he served up 4 HR. Howard owns an ugly 7.36 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 80 2/3 innings at the big league level. Give me the Orioles +100! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Brewers -144) I'll take my chances with the Brewers cashing in as a -144 home favorite against the Cubs on Monday. Chicago's sending out Justin Steele, who has quite the home/away splits. Steele has a 4.39 ERA overall in 15 starts, yet owns a 7.29 ERA and 1.714 WHIP in 5 road starts. It's a similar story for Milwaukee starter Eric Lauer. He's got a 4.02 ERA and 1.226 WHIP in 14 starts overall. He's got a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 5 home starts. Lauer and Steele faced off in Milwaukee earlier this season. Lauer allowed just 1 run on 5 hits with 11 Ks in 7 innings of a 9-1 win. Steele gave up 4 runs on 7 hits in just 3 innings. Give me the Brewers -144! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money VEGAS INSIDER Top Play (Yankees -165) I'll take my chances with the Yankees as a -165 road favorite against the Guardians on Sunday. New York swept Saturday's double-header after Friday's opener was rained out. Yankees have now won 6 of their last 7 with 5 of the 6 wins coming by 2 or more runs. New York will have a big edge on the mound, as they send out Jordan Montgomery against a struggling Triston McKenzie. Montgomery can get overlooked a bit with all the talent the Yankees have in their rotation and bullpen. He's got a strong 3.27 ERA and 1.020 WHIP over 15 starts. McKenzie had pitched pretty well this year, but he's not been anything close to himself in his last 2 starts, giving up 13 runs on 17 hits in just 10 1/3 innings. He's also given up a staggering 5 HR in those two starts, which is a horrible sign going into this start against a loaded and powerful NY lineup. Give me the Yankees -165!

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Phillies -125) I'll take my chances with the Phillies as a -125 home favorite against the Cardinals. Philly followed up their 14-4 win against the Braves on Thursday with a 5-3 win in the series opener against St Louis last night. Feels like a ton of value with the Phillies given the starting pitching matchup. Philadelphia will turn to Kyle Gibson. He's just 4-3 with a 4.48 ERA and 1.257 WHIP in 15 starts, but owns a 3.21 ERA and 0.986 WHIP in 8 home starts. Philly is 6-2 in those home starts. Cardinals will counter with Matthew Liberatore. He's been a mixed bag in 4 starts. Key is his home/away splits. He has not allowed a run in 2 starts at home and has given up 8 runs in 8 innings over 2 road starts. Not only that, he's given up 4 HR in those 8 road innings. Give me the Phillies -125! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

Friday's MLB Free Pick: Rays/Blue Jays UNDER 9 I'll take my chances with the UNDER 9 in Friday's early AL East showdown between the Rays and Blue Jays. This feels like it's at least a full run too high. Tampa Bay has a resurgent Corey Kluber on the mound. Kluber has a 3.45 ERA and 1.082 WHIP in 14 starts. He's got a 2.08 ERA and 0.866 WHIP in his last 3 outings, 2.14 ERA in 8 day starts and a 2.64 ERA in 6 division starts. Toronto will turn to an inconsistent Jose Berrios, who is 5-4 with a 5.86 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 15 starts. That inconsistency has really been a matter of pitching at home or on the road. Berrios is 3-0 with a 3.18 ERA and 1.059 WHIP in 6 home starts. Give me the UNDER 9! Confidence Rating: 5 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (Phillies -147) I'll take my chances with the Phillies as a -147 home favorite in Thursday's series finale against the Braves. Philadelphia needs this one to avoid getting swept by a division rival on their home field, so we know they will be locked in. It also helps they got their ace Aaron Nola on the mound. Nola was really up and down to start the year, but he seems to have figured it out. He's allowed a mere 3 ER in his last 4 starts, going at least 7 innings in each start. He also always seems to bring it vs division foes, as he's got a 2.27 ERA in 6 starts vs other teams from the NL East. Braves are going with Ian Anderson, who is still trying to figure things out. After allowing just 3 hits over 6 2/3 scoreless innings, Anderson gave up 4 runs on 6 hits and 4 BBs in just 4 innings last time out. Anderson has a 4.60 ERA and 1.453 WHIP in 14 starts and a 5.19 ERA and 1.692 WHIP in 5 division starts. Give me the Phillies -147! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

MLB Sharp Money MAX UNIT Top Play (UNDER 8.5) I'll take my chances with the UNDER 8.5 in Wednesday's matchup between the Red Sox and Blue Jays. We took a bad beat on the UNDER 10 in yesterday's game between these two, as Toronto scored 2 in the bottom of the 9th to win 6-5. That's not going to deter me from backing the UNDER again, as we got an even better starting pitching matchup this time around. Boston will send out a very underrated Nick Pivetta, who has a 3.25 ERA and 1.105 WHIP in 15 starts. Pivetta also comes in hot with a 1.64 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Blue Jays will counter with Alek Manoah, who is 9-2 with a 2.05 ERA and 0.958 WHIP in 14 starts. Manoah is 5-1 with a 2.15 ERA in 7 home starts and has a 1.50 ERA and 0.899 WHIP in 3 career starts vs the Red Sox. Give me the UNDER 8.5! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |

AL East Over/Under TOTAL OF THE WEEK (Under 10) I'll take my chances with the UNDER 10 in Tuesday's AL East showdown between the Red Sox and Blue Jays. Boston will have Michael Wacha on the mound. Wacha is 6-1 with a 2.34 ERA and 1.041 WHIP in 12 starts. Ross Stripling will start for Toronto. Stripling is 3-2 with a 2.81 ERA and 0.936 WHIP in 9 starts. Stripling also has a 1.72 ERA and 0.893 WHIP over his last 3 outings. These two starters faced off in an earlier matchup back in April. Both pitched extremely well. Wacha held the Blue Jays to just 1 run on 4 hits in 6 innings. Stripling allowed 1 run on 5 hits in 5 innings. Give me the UNDER 10! Confidence Rating: 10 (Scale of 1-10) |
