Snell is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.80 and 26 strikeouts in three starts versus the Cardinals in his career.

Unlike Snell though, Cards starter Adam Wainwright has been lit up lately, going 0-6 with a 10.55 ERA over his last seven starts. Wainwright has a 0-2 record with an ERA of 4.70 in four starts versus the Padres since the start of the 2021 season. Bet this TOP PLAY on the Padres -1.5 with 4% of your bankroll. |

The Dodgers will start Julio Urias (5-3, 3.61 ERA) who is 2-0 with 17 strikeouts and a 2.29 ERA in three starts this month. This will be Urias first career start versus St. Louis. The Dodgers have won each of the last five meetings and seven of the last eight. The Dodgers are money against the runline as road favorites, and I think there's better value on the RL than the ML. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1½. |

04-08-23 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 8-12 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 32 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to back the Dodgers following a 6-3 loss to the D'Backs Friday night. Noah Syndergaard held Arizona scoreless over six innings of four-hit ball on April 2 in his Dodgers debut. Just as tonight he was opposed by Zach Davies who limited the Dodgers to one run on four hits in that matchup, but note that Davies had a record of 0-2 with an ERA of 5.82 in five starts against the Dodgers last year. Syndergaard has a 3-1 record with an ERA of 2.27 and 40 strikeouts over 31 2/3 innings in five career starts against the Diamondbacks. The moneyline is a decent bet, but I'm seeing more value on the runline. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |

They have scored only six runs over their last five games while getting shut out three times, but this looks like a good spot to get their bats going against inexperienced Reds right-hander T.J.

The White Sox bats have been cold through the first three games of the set, but here they get a look at Baltimore righty Jordan Lyles who is 3-4 with an ERA of 6.70 on the road this season and he has posted a 6.48 ERA over his last three starts. Chicago right-hander Dylan Cease has not allowed one single earned run and given up only 17 hits over his last five starts, spanning 27+ innings!

The Cleveland Guardians are hot with eight wins over their last nine games. I still like the Dodgers to come through as a favorite in this one. Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias (3-6, 2.80 ERA) has not seen the results go his way this season despite strong outings. Urias fanned 10 while giving up two runs on three hits over six frames at San Francisco in his last start.

MLB GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S 10* RUNLINE MAJOR WAGER The Los Angeles Dodgers not only won but also covered the runline despite scoring only two runs yesterday, which highlights the kind of mess the Angels are right now. I expect the Dodgers to put up more runs and win big today, facing Angels left-hander Reid Detmers (2-2, 3.83 ERA) who has pitched well at home, but Detmers has a 6.19 ERA over 16 innings on the road. The Angels have lost each of his last four starts. Left-hander Tyler Anderson (7-0, 3.07 ERA) will take the ball for the Dodgers. They've won each of his last five starts, all by at least two runs.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Twins had scored only two runs through a three-game stretch before putting up nine in a win here at Toronto on Friday. The Blue Jays came into that game riding an eight-game winning streak and they had scored six runs or more in five straight games. I like the Blue Jays to bounce back with a big win tonight. The Blue Jays are perfect 4-0 in righty Jose Berrios (3-2, 5.62 ERA) home starts this year. Minnesota right-hander Dylan Bundy is 1-2 with a 7.50 ERA in five starts on the road this year, and the team record is 1-4 in those games.

The Pirates have won the first two games of the set as huge underdogs which can't sit right with the Dodgers.

They've won each of left-hander David Peterson's (2-0, 2.16 ERA) last three starts. The Washington Nationals have won four of their last five games, but they are 1-6 in their last 7 during game 1 of a series and 0-4 in their last 4 road games vs. a left-handed starter.

The Royals have dropped six in a row and eight of their last 10 games. Minnesota outscored them 22-12 through a three-game sweep in KC May 20-22. Tonight's KC starter Daniel Lynch (2-3, 4.01 ERA) was tagged with four runs in 3 2/3 of a 6-4 loss in that series.

I expect a strong outing from Mets righty Max Scherzer (4-1, 2.92 ERA) after seeing his unbeaten streak of 24 games coming to an end last Sunday. Seattle has lost five of left-hander Marco Gonzales' (1-4, 3.91 ERA) six starts this season, all but one by two or more runs.

MLB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The St. Louis Cardinals have won the first two games of this series in dominant fashion. They'll have a big edge on the mound here in the series-finale, and I expect a nice and comfortable win for the Cards. Steven Matz will take the mound for his Cardinals debut since coming over from Toronto as a free agent. Matz was 4-7 with a 3.82 ERA through 150 1/3 innings last year, and he should be able to handle a Pittsburgh team that has scored only two runs through its first two games. The Pirates turn to 24-year-old Bryse Wilson who went 3-7 with a 5.35 ERA across 16 starts last year. Wilson has yet to finish a season with a sub-4.00 ERA, and the Cards have been swinging hot bats to start the season. 10* play on St. Louis Cardinals -1.5. |

MLB GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT - MIKE'S NLCS MAJOR WAGER The Dodgers are not in do-or-die mode, but they're just one loss away from being there, after opening the series with a pair of losses at Atlanta. Now they get to return home to Chavez Ravine where they've been dominant all season long. The Braves are 0-5 as road dogs when the opponent is a favorite of -170 or more and veteran right-hander Charlie Morton was tagged with five runs in 4 1/3 innings when he faced the Dodgers with the Rays in Game 3 of the World Series last year. I think we're getting a terrific price on a desperate Dodgers team that can't afford to drop this one. 10* play on Los Angeles Dodgers. |

TOP-RATED 10* CARDS @ DODGERS NL WILD CARD SHOWDOWN The Cardinals closed out the regular season as one of the hottest teams in baseball, but now they'll face a Dodgers team that wrapped up the regular season by winning each of their last six games and averaging nine runs over its past five games. Their 106 wins on the season would have won every division except for their own NL West where they finished one game behind the Giants. Dodgers' right-hander Max Scherzer (15-4, 2.46 ERA) has yet to take a losing decision (7-0, 1.98 ERA) since coming over from the Nats. While Cards' veteran Adam Wainwright (17-7, 3.05 ERA) has been terrific lately as well, I don't see him shutting down this Dodgers' team in a one-and-done type of game. The Dodgers went 29-15 against the runline (ROI of 17.5%) as home favorites of -200 or more during the regular season. 10* play on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5. |

TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to back an angry Braves team to snap back from a 4-2 loss to Washington. Atlanta right-hander Huascar Ynoa (4-5, 3.19 ERA) has posted a 2.29 ERA over 35 1/3 innings at home and he has a 2.19 ERA over 53 1/3 innings in night games. Ynoa has made two starts against Washington this season with only six hits and no earned runs allowed over 12 innings of work. Nats' righty Erick Fedde (6-9, 5.27 ERA) has posted a 6.14 ERA over his last three starts. Fedde is 0-3 with a 11.12 ERA in three starts against Atlanta on the season. Braves are 20-6 in their last 26 games as a favorite. Braves are 22-7 in their last 29 games following a loss. Nationals are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on Atlanta Braves -1.5. |

I highly doubt the Mariners will score anywhere close to as many runs here against Lance McCullers Jr. (10-4, 3.20 ERA) who is 9-3 with a 2.78 ERA in 17 career starts against Seattle. Mariners' lefty Yusei Kikuchi (7-7, 4.12 ERA) is 1-4 with a 5.50 ERA in 10 career starts against Houston. The Astros are coming off back-to-back losses at San Diego, and I expect them to bounce back in a big way in this one. 10* play on Houston Astros -1.5. |

TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Rays are 10-1 SU as home favorites of -200 or more this season. While they've not done quite as well against the runline, I expect them to come through with a blowout win against the Twins on Saturday. Minnesota left-hander Andrew Albers (1-0, 0.96 ERA) has only two outings (one start) on the season, and while both were solid, now he'll take to deal with a Rays team that is averaging 5.40 runs per game. Tampa Bay right-hander Chris Archer (0-1, 4.35 ERA) has made four appearances (three starts) in 2021. After giving up four runs (three earned) in two innings as a reliever in his season debut, Archer has allowed only two runs through 8 2/3 innings in the next three starts. Twins are 1-6 in their last 7 games as a road underdog and 2-6 against the runline on the road with the opponent favored of -200 or more. 10* play on Tampa Bay Rays -1.5. |

Baltimore righty Matt Harvey (6-14, 6.18 ERA) is 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA in his last three starts.

TOP-RATED 10* MLB PLAY OF THE DAY The Rays won but failed to cover the runline on Saturday's matchup with the Orioles. They're 17-1 SU and 14-4 against the runline versus Baltimore this season and I expect to see a comfortable win for the Rays here in the finale of this three-game series on Sunday. Baltimore right-hander Spenser Watkins (2-6, 7.07 ERA) has allowed four runs or more in six straight starts, all losses. Watkins gave up eight runs in just two innings against the Angels in his last start. Tampa Bay righty Chris Archer (0-1, 4.26 ERA) is working his way back into the starting rotation after missing four months due to a forearm strain and a hip issue. Through his last two starts, Archer has fanned eight while allowing only four hits and a walk through 4 1/3 scoreless innings. Acher is still building up his pitch count, but is backed up by the best bullpen in baseball. 10* play on Tampa Bay Rays -1.5. |

Wacha should also be getting a decent amount of run support as Baltimore left-hander John Means (5-6, 3.50 ERA) has allowed 13 runs through his last three starts alone. The team has lost 10 of his last 12 starts overall and the Orioles are 0-4 SU and against the runline with Means as the starter against the Rays this year.

Tampa Bay left-hander Shane McClanahan (8-4, 3.63 ERA) is 3-0 with 22 Ks over 17 1/3 innings of work over his last three starts. McClanahan also has a solid 3.80 ERA on the road and he has a 3-0 record with a 2.65 ERA in three starts against the Orioles on the season. Baltimore hands the ball to Matt Harvey (6-13, 6.27 ERA) who has allowed 11 runs on 12 hits over just 6 1/3 innings against the Rays this year. Harvey is 2-8 with a 6.62 ERA at home.
