ASTROS @ ATHLETICS SIDE

The Houston Astros are coming off four straight losses and have only scored three runs through the first two games of this series. Runs won't be easy to come by here in the finale of this three-game series either, facing Oakland left-hander Jesus Luzardo (0-0, 2.31 ERA) who tossed five scoreless innings of two-hit ball against Texas in his season debut. 

Cristian Javier (1-0, 1.42 ERA) will take the ball for Houston for his third start of the season. Through the previous two, he has allowed only a pair of runs on six hits with 10 Ks through 11 2/3 frames. 

Under is 5-0 in Astros last 5 games as an underdog. Under is 5-1 in Athletics last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Additionally, I like the price we get on Oakland.  

8* play on Oakland. 

MLB SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

The Detroit Tigers are 7-5 on the season and have scored 28 runs while winning the first two games of this three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are averaging 5.66 runs per game and I think they'll hit today's Pirates starter Steven Brault (0-0, 7.20 ERA) hard as well while Detroit righty Spencer Turnbull (1-0, 2.45 ERA) has been hard to hit.

MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Colorado Rockies are 11-3 on the season while the Seattle Mariners are 5-11. The Rockies won Saturday's contest 5-0 and I like them to complete the sweep of this three-game series Sunday afternoon. 

Colorado right-hander German Marquez (2-1, 1.89 ERA) has opened the season with three solid starts, allowing only four runs on 12 hits with 23 Ks over 19 innings of work. Seattle right-hander Justus Sheffield (0-2, 9.39 ERA) on the other hand has been roughed up for four runs in each of his first two starts, covering only three and 4 2/3 innings respectively. I do not see any reason why we shouldn't back the road chalk in this one.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON MLB NO BRAINER

I think the San Diego Padres look like a great home favorite in this matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday afternoon. Giants lefty Madison Bumgarner (0-2, 7.04 ERA) has had a really poor start with the D'Backs while Padres' Dinelson Lamet (1-0, 1.72 ERA) has been as solid as one could ask for. Add Arizona's issues to score runs (3.53 rpg) while San Diego is near the top of the major leagues for runs scored with 5.21 runs per game and we have a complete mismatch.

8* play on San Diego Padres. 

INDIANS VS WHITE SOX - NIGHT NIGHT BASEBALL BEST BET

The Cleveland Indians are 14-2 to the under on the season and I think runs will come a premium for both sides once again in this matchup with the Chicago White Sox. 

White Sox righty Lucas Giolito (1-1, 5.17 ERA) has recovered nicely since getting knocked around in his season debut. In his two most recent starts, Giolito has allowed only two runs on eight hits with 15 Ks through 12 innings of work. Cleveland counters with Shane Bieber (3-0, 0.83 ERA) who has been one of the hottest pitchers in baseball.  

10* play on UNDER.
