This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS as part of our MLB Afternoon Double Play. Cleveland came through last night with a 3-1 win which snapped a three-game losing streak to get back to .500 on the season. The Guardians are two games under .500 on the road and are catching value again. The victory snapped a five-game winning streak for the Royals which are now three games under .500 overall and are laying a number based on the top line pitching numbers. Seth Lugo brings in a 2.68 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through seven starts while Slade Cecconi has a 6.56 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through seven starts but their xERAs are nearly identical at 4.59 and 4.60 respectively and that is what we look at here. 10* (909) Cleveland Guardians

This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES as part of our MLB Afternoon Double Play. The Mets have won three straight games including the first two games of this series but are still at 14-22 on the season and of course are laying a big number based on their opponent. Christian Scott has made two starts, the first as an opener and the second he went five innings and allowed three runs against the Angels. Jose Quintana is coming off his longest start of the season, when he threw six innings while allowing just one run in a no-decision against the Braves on Friday. He has a 4.07 ERA through five starts and has allowed three runs or less in four of those, the only exception being a start against the Dodgers. 10* (920) Colorado Rockies

This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS for our MLB Sweet Spot. Kansas City has won five straight games to get to 17-19 overall and comes in as a pretty significant favorite behind Cole Ragans. He has been all over the place as he has allowed one run total in three of his seven starts but gave up 18 runs in his other four outings. He was great in his two home starts but this is the time to fade as he has allowed seven home runs in his last three starts. Cleveland has dropped three straight games and is now one game under .500. Joey Cantillo has been solid with a 3.67 ERA in seven starts as he allowed three runs or less in his first six outings but gave up four runs last time out but that was at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. 10* (969) Cleveland Guardians

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Philadelphia is coming off a 39-point loss in Game One on Monday and is catching an identical number which is going to keep bettors off the Sixers in what is a great bounce back spot. They were unfortunate where they had to play Game One just two days after defeating the Celtics in seven games while the Knicks had four days off so they are both on the same schedule. It was a season series split with the Knicks now having won three straight games and Philadelphia did win both games in New York during the regular season and the Sixers took the final three games on the road in Boston so winning away from home is not an issue. New York is 0-6 on the money line in its last six games after scoring 120 points or more in three straight games. 10* (561) Philadelphia 76ers

This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS for our MLB Afternoon Dominator. We are going back to the well with Toronto which blew a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning in a 4-3 loss to make it three straight losses to fall to 16-20 overall. Patrick Corbin has been a solid addition to the rotation with all of the injuries as he has a 3.65 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in five starts and he has allowed two runs or less in his last four. He has a 2.25 ERA in three road starts. Tampa Bay has now won five straight games to improve to 23-12. Shane McClanahan is slowly making a solid comeback after missing the last two seasons and this is a sell high contrarian spot as he has not given up a run in his last two starts covering 11 innings. 10* (961) Toronto Blue Jays

This is a play on the CINCINNATI REDS as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. The Reds have lost four straight games following a 5-4 loss last night as the Cubs scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth. Andrew Abbott has been very up and down and he has struggled mostly at home with a 6.57 ERA but that comes down to a more respectable 4.50 in two road starts. He looks to start trending toward his 2025 season where he has a 2.87 ERA in 29 starts. The Cubs have won six straight games and turn to Jameson Taillon who has also been inconsistent. He has a 4.41 ERA and is pitching to a 4.71 xERA in six starts and has already allowed nine home runs. 10* (901) Cincinnati Reds

This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. The Blue Jays dropped the series opener last night 5-1 to make it two straight losses to fall to 16-19 overall. Kevin Gausman is pitching excellent with a 3.10 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through seven starts and is pitching to a 1.78 xERA. He is coming off his worst start as he allowed four runs in Minnesota and we expect a bounce back here. Tampa Bay continues to surprise as the Rays are now 22-12 following their fourth straight win last night. Drew Rasmussen has been equally as effective with a 2.64 ERA and 0.85 WHIP but is pitching to a 3.32 xERA, still solid but negative regression coming. 10* (913) Toronto Blue Jays

<p>

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. Atlanta dropped the series opener 5-4 last night as it belted four home runs but could be nothing else going and the Braves are still 25-11, the best record in baseball by a half-game. Bryce Elder has been awesome as he has a 1.87 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through seven starts and he looks like he put the last two seasons behind him where he has ERAs of 5.30 and 6.52. The Mariners are still two games under .500 which includes an 11-10 record at home. George Kirby has a 3.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through seven starts and is a big favorite due to his home reputation but has a brutal matchup here. 10* (929) Atlanta Braves

This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS as part of our MLB Monday Double Play. The Giants have lost six straight games so this is a buy low spot. Trevor McDonald is making his 2026 debut after being with the Giants for a brief period before being optioned to Triple A. He finished the 2025 season with a 1.80 ERA in 15 MLB innings, including a dominant 10-strikeout game against the Colorado Rockies. San Diego salvaged a game Sunday against the White Sox which snapped a four-game losing streak. Randy Vazquez gets the ball and he has been all over the place as he has allowed one run or less in three starts while allowing nine runs in his other two games. Solid run support has seen the Padres go 5-0 in his starts. 10* (960) San Francisco Giants

<p>

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX as part of our MLB Monday Double Play. The Angels have lost eight of nine games to fall to nine games under .500 and come in as a big favorite. Jose Soriano has gotten off to an incredible start as he has a 0.84 ERA and 0.94 WHIP but is coming off his worst start as he allowed three runs over five innings and it happened to come against the White Sox. Chicago missed a chance to complete a sweep of the San Diego Padres as they fell 4-3 in the finale of a three-game series. Davis Martin is having a strong season as well as he has a 1.95 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in six starts, allowing two runs or less in each of his last five outings. He shut down the Angels last time out opposing Soriano. 10* (969) Chicago White Sox

This is a play on the MIAMI MARLINS as part of our MLB Sunday Double Play.

This is a play on the HOUSTON ASTROS as part of our MLB Sunday Double Play.

This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS as part of our MLB Saturday Double Play. Cleveland has won two straight games following the 8-5 win last night coming off the heels of four straight losses. The Guardians send out Slade Cecconi today and it has been an up and down start with a 6.23 ERA but he is pitching to a 4.60 xERA so there is a decent amount of positive progression. The Athletics are still two games over .500 following the loss and turn to Jacob Lopez who has not been much better with his 5.70 ERA and he has a much worse 1.90 WHIP. Additionally, he has a -1.8% K:BB% and that is ranked No. 166 out of 172 starters that have pitched at least five innings. 10* (967) Cleveland Guardians

<p>

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS as part of our MLB Saturday Double Play. The Royals took the opener of this series following a two-game skid and are catching another solid underdog number with Seth Lugo. He is having another solid season with a 2.63 ERA through six starts and looks like the 2024 starter after regressing somewhat last season. He is intentionally using his fastball more (targeting ~50% usage) and has introduced a new slider grip that has seen a 2 MPH velocity jump. The Mariners go with Emerson Hancock who is outperforming expectations with a 2.86 ERA, allowing three runs or less in all six starts and this is where we sell high. 10* (973) Kansas City Royals

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS as part of our MLB Friday Double Play. The Dodgers have lost two straight games after dropping their series with the Marlins to close a 3-3 homestand and they hit the road where they are 8-5. Emmet Sheehan takes the hill after coming off his best start of the season as he allowed one run over 6.1 innings while striking out 10 against the Cubs but we will fade him on the road where he has struggled. St. Louis has won four straight games to move to five games over .500 and the Cardinals turn to Matthew Liberatore who is coming off his worst start of the season and this is a buy low spot despite what is considered a tough matchup. 10* (910) St. Louis Cardinals

<p>

This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS as part of our MLB Friday Double Play. The Giants remain out east after getting swept in Philadelphia and they are now five games under .500 but we are on them here because of Robbie Ray. He has allowed more than two runs only once, giving up three on seven hits in a 3-0 loss to the Washington Nationals on April 19. Tampa Bay is the surprise in the American League East as they are 18-12 but we will see some regression. Shane McClanahan does not possess overwhelming numbers like four seasons ago, but he finally is back from 2023 Tommy John surgery and last August's procedure for a nerve problem and is not the same. 10* (925) San Francisco Giants

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS for our MLB Sweet Spot. We love backing the Athletics when dogs but they are now a sizable favorite and this is fade time based on the matchup. The Royals won the opening game of the series on Tuesday when Bobby Witt Jr. hit a three-run homer in the top of the 10th during a 4-1 victory and we are backing Noah Cameron here. He had a pair of bad starts against the White Sox and Yankees but bounced back with a quality outing in his last game. We963) Kansas City were on Jeffrey Springs in his last start and he put up another poor outing and has now allowed 11 runs in his last two starts and is now overpriced. 10* (963) Kansas City Royals
