This is a play on the SAN DIEGO PADRES as part of our MLB Double Play Sweep. The Padres took the opener of this series on Friday but the Dodgers got it right back last night as they blew it open with a nine-run sixth inning to bring it back to a nine-game lead in the National League West. Emmet Sheehan has been nothing but an inning eater this season as he has made 14 starts and has a 5.32 ERA across 67.2 innings. He has a 5.58 EDRA on the road which includes a start here last month where he allowed four runs over four innings. Michael King is coming off one of his best starts of the season after hitting a bit of a rough patch as he tossed seven shutout innings against the Braves, allowing six hits and walking none. He remains home where he is at his best, posting a 2.87 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in nine starts and while the Dodgers come in with the best offense in baseball, he has already shut them out once over seven innings last month. 10* (912) San Diego Padres

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS as part of our MLB Double Play Sweep. The White Sox exploded for 22 runs on Friday in the 22-1 victory but needed only two runs on Saturday to secure their fourth win in five games to open this homestand. Chicago is still one game up on the Guardians in the American League Central while improving to 28-13 at home which is a big reason for the size of this number. Anthony Kay is coming off his best start of the season as he shut out the Guardians over six innings while striking out a season-high eight and now is the sell high time as he is favored by the biggest amount all season. The Royals have lost four straight games and it has turned into a lost season but we will be backing Luinder Avila who is making his seventh start and while two of those have been bad, he has allowed only one run in each of the other four. Those four all resulted in Kansas City wins and he is back on the road where he has a 1.80 ERA over 30 innings. 10* (919) Kansas City Royals

This is a play on the CHICAGO CUBS as part of our MLB Double Play Sweep. The Brewers have won five straight games and have a commanding 7.5-game lead in the National League Central. A change of scenery can do nothing but good for David Peterson who was traded away from the Mets this week, leaving a franchise that did him good for a while but he never hit those expectations. The Cubs need the rotation help this being on the road actually helps as there is little pressure for Peterson and his road ERA is over two runs better than it was at Citi Field so clearly the home negativity got to him and while his 5.21 xERA is not great, it is 2.50 lower than his top line ERA as a starter. Kyle Harrison has bounced back from a disastrous start against the Athletics with a pair of quality outings but the Braves put an end to the Brewers 10-game winning streak in his starts and he now faces a Cubs team that was shut down by him last time out for a second time. 10* (955) Chicago Cubs

This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS as part of our MLB Double Play Sweep. The Guardians dropped the series opener and have fallen back into second place in the American League Central, one game behind the White Sox. The underrated pitcher of this rotation has been Slade Cecconi who is on a serious run. He has been outstanding since early May as he has a 2.96 ERA over his last nine starts, allowing no more than three runs in any start and giving up just four total home runs. He struggled through April thanks to a pair of awful road starts and while there was one bad home start against the Astros, he has a 3.37 ERA at home since then. Seattle is a game and a half ahead of the Rangers and Athletics in the American League West with a lot of the recent success due to Logan Gilbert who has been on an absolute roll but this is the sell high spot as Seattle has won his last six starts while his production on the road has been outstanding but we go contrarian. 10* (972) Cleveland Guardians

This is a play on the SAN DIEGO PADRES as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. The Dodgers and Padres opened the week in similar fashion as Los Angeles swept the Twins in Minnesota while San Diego did the same to the Braves at home. The Padres are still on the outside looking in for the Wild Card in the National League and this series will go a long way. Walker Buehler had an inconsistent start to the season but has progressed by allowing three runs or less in eight straight starts including two runs or less in seven of those. He has a 2.76 ERA over that stretch including a 1.71 ERA over his last four outings and he returns home where he has been at his best with his 3.32 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 40.2 innings as he has allowed only two home runs. Roki Sasaki has been below average with his inconsistencies and he is back on the road with his 6.19 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over six starts. 10* (910) San Diego Padres

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. The Angels had an off day on Thursday following four wins in five games which included two wins over the Athletics to close that series and then taking two of three against the Orioles. They are catching an underdog price at home with Walbert Urena who has been outstanding since entering the rotation as he has a 2.47 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 12 starts which includes a 1.93 ERA over his last 10 outings. He has elite stuff when his command is in check which it was in his last two starts in Arizona and Sacramento. The Athletics salvaged the series finale against San Francisco on Thursday to snap a four-game skid and they remain three games under .500. J.T. Ginn is also having a solid season and his best stuff has been on the road with a 1.99 ERA in seven starts but the Athletics have dropped his last three on the highway. 10* (924) Los Angeles Angels

This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. The Twins were swept by the Dodgers, two of those being one run losses and while they take a big step down in competition here, they are being severely overpriced. Taj Bradley got off to a great start to the season but he has regressed considerably. He had a 1.63 ERA through his first five starts and a 2.77 ERA through nine outings but he has a 6.93 ERA in his last five starts. His numbers are slightly better at home but one huge liability over has been the long ball as he has allowed 12 home runs in 14 starts after allowing six home runs in six starts last season after coming to Minnesota. Colorado is coming off a successful homestand where it went 4-2 and while not as good on the road, the Rockies are catching a great number with Tomoyuki Sugano who has been better of late and Colorado is 10-5 in his 15 starts. 10* (929) Colorado Rockies

This is a play on the WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS for our CFL Thursday Enforcer. Edmonton came through for us last week as the Elks took out Montreal in overtime with a walk off rushing touchdown and they are 2-0 for the first time since 2019. Now we will see what this team is made of as this is a very difficult spot as Edmonton is back on the road on very short rest while coming off an emotional victory. Edmonton is 2-10 in its last 12 road games following an upset win as a home underdog. Winnipeg returns from a bye looking to bounce back after its Week Two loss to Hamilton and the Blue Bombers rarely lose consecutive games at Princess Auto Stadium. Overall, they have a nine-day advantage as far as rest and preparation and that will make a huge difference. As far as the follow up off a loss, they are 15-9 ATS in the next game and this is a rare short price at home where they are 53-31 ATS in their last 84 games in this spot. 10* (682) Winnipeg Blue Bombers

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS for our Divisional Game of the Month. Philadelphia has been one of the best teams in baseball over the last couple months as it is 36-18 in its last 54 games and continues to win in crazy ways. On Tuesday, the Phillies were down 8-6 in the ninth inning and down to their final strike before scoring eight runs and they followed it up last night with a two-run pinch hit home run in the ninth innings. They will be the popular choice tonight with Cristopher Sanchez on the hill and this is where we like to fade him, in a road spot in a tough matchup. At home, Sanchez has a 0.95 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 10 starts but in six road outings, he has a 3.23 ERA and 1.31 WHIP and below average hitting against numbers and he now faces a Washington offense that is No. 1 or No. 2 in every major hitting category against lefties while going 16-8 against left handed starters. Cade Cavalli has held his own after limited expectations and has been solid at home, not allowing more than three runs in any of his eight starts. 10* (952) Washington Nationals

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS for our MLB Big League Baller. The Dodgers eked out a 2-1 win on Monday and followed that up with a 12-3 blowout victory last night to open this roadtrip after closing their homestand with a pair of losses to Baltimore. Based on this price, they are expected to sweep with Shohei Ohtani being the reason but he has not been great of late and he is far from an automatic win this season. He has allowed seven earned runs over his last two starts and while his numbers are actually better on the road than at home, the Dodgers are just 2-4 in his six road starts and going back to last season, they are 2-9 on the road when favored by -150 or higher. The Twins are still hanging around in the American League Central and send out their ace to salvage a game in this series. Joe Ryan is off to the best start of his career with a 2.99 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 16 starts while allowing two runs or less in eight of his last 10 starts while going 7-3 in those 10 games. 10* (928) Minnesota Twins

This is a play on the CINCINNATI REDS for our Divisional Game of the Month. Milwaukee has taken the first two games of this series as it has done it with pitching in 2-1 and 2-0 victories to make it three straight wins and the Brewers go down in class in starting value here. Shane Drohan was sent down to the Minors in April and recalled two weeks later and had only been coming out of the bullpen but has made four starts since and while off a good one, he is back on the road where he has only 14.2 innings compared to 33 innings at home. Rhett Lowder is back in the rotation to make his fourth start after missing a month with a shoulder issue and he is coming off a poor start at the Yankees where he allowed four runs in 5.1 innings. It is taking a bit to find that consistency as he had only one rehab outing and now he is back home for his second start since April 26th and he has been much better here as he has a 3.22 ERA and 1.12 WHIP compared to a 6.00 ERA and 1.70 WHIP on the road. 10* (906) Cincinnati Reds

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX for our MLB Afternoon Dominator. Despite three hits, the White Sox came away with a 2-1 win last night for its second straight victory after a horrible 1-5 roadtrip and they have retaken first place in the American League Central. Chicago looks for the sweep before hosting Kansas City on this homestand where the White Sox can actually make some space. Erick Fedde has been going back and forth between starting and following an opener to do bulk relief and with the exception of one bad start at San Francisco, he has been pretty reliable. This is definitely the case at home where he has a 3.29 ERA over 38.1 innings compared to a 6.18 ERA across 27.2 innings on the road. Tanner Bibee has had a similar season where a couple bad starts have inflated his numbers but he has been inconsistent on the road overall with a 4.54 ERA. The Guardians have won only four of his 16 starts this season which highlights the inconsistency and lack of run support. 10* (912) Chicago White Sox

This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES for our MLB Diamond Dominator. Boston and Colorado were coming off similar weekend series as they both won the first two games before dropping the finale on Sunday and the Rockies struck first with a series opening win Monday. The Red Sox have been a better team on the road than at home as they are now one game under .500 and are road favorites partly because of that and Sonny Gray taking the hill. He has been very consistent this season as he has gone nine straight starts of allowing three runs or less to lower his ERA to 3.12 but he is back on the road where his ERA jumps to 3.73 while laying his biggest road price of the season. Colorado counters with Sean Sullivan which is another reason for the big number as his top line ERA of 10.29 will do that as he had one bad start against the Cubs in Chicago and while this is his first ever start at Coors Field, he could not ask for a better matchup. While that ERA is high, he is pitching to a 1.71 xERA. 10* (978) Colorado Rockies

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS for our American League GOM. The Orioles took the final two games at Los Angeles against the Dodgers, nearly blowing it Saturday before a comfortable 12-1 win on Sunday and the markets are already overpricing. They are still just 15-23 on the road and Kyle Bradish will look to build off a strong outing in Seattle. Despite that, he has a 5.06 ERA on the road across 35.1 innings. The Angels are also riding a two-game winning streak and turn to Sam Aldegheri who has been back and forth between Anaheim and Salt Lake but has found a home in the rotation although he may need a strong effort tonight to keep it. He is coming off a start in Arizona where he allowed six runs over three innings and that was only his second appearance on the road and first as a starter. In four games at home including two starts and one bulk relief appearance, he has a 1.76 ERA across 15.1 innings. 10* (920) Los Angeles Angels
