04-18-24 | Rangers -105 v. Tigers | 9-7 | Win | 100 | 2 h 8 m | Show | |
Rangers ML Texas and Detroit finish off a 4 game set and we’re on the Rangers ML in this one. Texas sends out Jack Leiter, the son of Al Leiter for one of the most anticipated debuts in a while for Texas. The Rangers pitcher has been solid at AAA thus far, tossing 14.1 innings while striking out 25 and walking just 3. His debut is going to give some excitement to this Texas clubhouse too as they need him to step up. Kenta Maeda counters him and he owns an ERA of over 6. The RH has struggled this season as he hasn’t been able to give the Tigers any length or consistency. This is a bad matchup for him against a Texas lineup that will not only make him work, but also put a lot of traffic on the bases. Some early runs will allow Leiter to settle in and give him a lot of confidence. Texas has a deep lineup and they can put up crooked numbers at any time. We’re getting a good price on the better team in this one. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-17-24 | Yankees -104 v. Blue Jays | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 25 m | Show | |
Yankees -104 The Yankees are looking to end a slide here as they’re facing adversity for the first time this season. New York should see a fatigued Blue Jays bullpen, as they used a lot out of the pen for starters. New York still has Holmes on rest and they should have the edge here should this get to the bullpens. This New York offense has had a lot of success against Kevin Gausman too. He’s had issues all over the place thus far. His Era is above 11 and he’s allowed 11 runs combined over his last two starts. The middle of this Yankees lineup has had a ton of success against him and they will make him work from the outset. Stroman counters and the RH has 2 scoreless outings to go along with a 4 run performance last time out. He’s got a lot of confidence coming into play here and has been producing a lot of swings and misses. Through his 3 starts, he’s put up 17 K’s and should have this Jays offense off balanced. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-15-24 | Rangers -110 v. Tigers | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Rangers -110 Probable Pitchers: Lorenzen (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Olson (0-1, 5.40 ERA) The Rangers have value at this price in Detroit. They welcome back Michael Lorenzen, who returns to face his old club in this matchup. Texas dropped 2 of 3 in Houston and this is a good bounce back spot with the quick turnaround in Detroit. The Rangers RH spent half the season with Detroit and the other half in Phili last season, where he logged a no hitter as he’s been a huge part of team’s rotations. He owns a 3.58 against Detroit in his career and his success will be a huge key to this rotation. Countering him is Olson, who will be seeing a much upgraded offense from the Mets one he saw in his first start. This Rangers offense makes pitchers work and forces them into some deep counts, which will have him out of the stretch early. Texas has the edge in this matchup and we’re getting a great price on them. They’ll make Olson work from the outset, giving Lorenzen plenty of support. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-14-24 | Twins +114 v. Tigers | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 30 m | Show | |
Twins +114 The Twins swept a doubleheader on Saturday and have good value here on Sunday in the series finale. Minnesota put up an 11 spot in the opener and followed that up with a great pitching performance in game 2 as they have some steam for really the first time all season. They send out Bailey Ober, who rebounded well last time out. He finished with just 1 ER over 5.0 innings against a very impressive Dodgers lineup. He is countered by Jack Flaherty, who was roughed up in his 2nd start against Oakland last time out. He allowed 6 runs in the loss and is going to have his hands full here with a Minnesota lineup that has some momentum. Expect them to make him work and have a similar game plan to Oakland’s where they put a lot of traffic on the bases early. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-13-24 | Cardinals v. Diamondbacks +100 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
DBacks +100 Arizona is just trying to find some consistency heading into play here on Saturday. They haven’t found that spark just yet here in 2024, but there is plenty of value on them Saturday night here at home. Arizona came back from down 6, only to falter late on Friday night and this is a good bounce back spot for them. They’re going to see RH Kyle Gibson, who was rocked last time out. Gibson allowed 7 runs to Miami as he had nothing working for him in the start. This Arizona lineup is much deeper and should find plenty of success here against Gibson, making him work early. The Dbacks are their best when they can force a lot of traffic on the bases and not allow opposing pitchers to settle in early. Despite the loss on Friday, the offense did get it rolling with a 6 spot and they can carry that momentum into play here. Expect plenty of traffic on the bases and for Gibson to be out of the stretch early in this contest. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-12-24 | Cubs v. Mariners -120 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
Mariners -120 Probable Pitchers: Wicks (0-1, 4.15 ERA) vs. Miller (1-1, 3.00 ERA) Seattle is looking to continue their offensive groove heading into this weekend series with Chicago. Seattle took out some early season frustrations in the 10th inning of their series finale with the Jays as they erupted for 5 runs in a 6-1 win. The Mariners have a lot of expectations this season and they’re hoping that inning will open things up for them. Seattle sends out Bryce Miller, who pitched well in Milwaukee last time out. He threw 7.0 scoreless innings and looked sharp, having them off balanced all night. The Mariners offense is going to have a lot of success against Jordan Wicks as well. He owns an ERA over 4 and has given up 11 hits over 8.2 innings of work. Seattle’s offense is typically much better at home and they should put a lot of traffic on the bases against Wicks. There’s great value on the home side in this spot. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB ML Play |

04-12-24 | Twins +112 v. Tigers | 2-8 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Twins +112 Probable Pitchers: Lopez (1-1, 2.84 ERA) vs. Skubal (1-0, 2.92 ERA) Pablo Lopez gets the ball for the Twins and they have value at plus money in this spot. If the Twins want any chance at succeeding this year, they need to lean on Lopez as this team’s ace. The RH is 1-1 this year and looks to rebound from a loss after he got zero support in a 3-1 loss to Cleveland. Lopez allowed a 3 run homer and that was it as he still pitched well for the 2nd straight outing to start the season. Lopez has had plenty of success against the Tigers in his career, owning a 2.08 ERA against them. The Twins offense should be able to get themselves going too. This team is much better than they’ve shown to start the year and Skubal has had some issues against them in his career. He sits with a near 4 ERA against Minnesota throughout his career as they’ve typically made him work when these teams meet. Minnesota is right there in this pitching matchup and should have the edge offensively. There’s value at plus money. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-08-24 | Phillies +101 v. Cardinals | 5-3 | Win | 101 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Phillies +101 Probable Pitchers: Turnbull (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 7 K's) vs. Mikolas (1-1, 6.10 ERA, 9 K's) We get a small dog tonight as we're on the Phillies ML vs. the Cardinals. In for Ti Walker in his last appearance Turnbull (1-0) clinched a solid victory against the Reds, giving up just 1 unearned run on 3 hits with 7 K's over 5 innings. His stellar debut for the Phillies marked a historic moment, being the first to achieve this statline in team history in a debut. On the other side, Mikolas hasn't quite hit his stride this season. Despite a shaky start, he managed to grab a win against San Diego on Tuesday, allowing just 2 runs over 6 innings. With 4 K's. He's 1-1 to start the year. A no bueno 6.10 ERA is staring at him though. Phili is going to get a lot of production out of Turnbull this year. He comes in off a great first outing and should have plenty of success against this Cards lineup. The RH finished with 5.0 scoreless innings against the Reds, scattering just 3 hits in the process. The Phillies took 2 of 3 against the Nats and come in with momentum as this lineup is starting to find their groove. They’re a deep team and can really make opposing pitchers work, which should be the case here. Mikolas has made 2 outings, with neither going well. The RH allowed 7 hits in each and while he did make it through 6.0 innings against the Padres, they had plenty of scoring chances. The Phillies are the kind of team who will take advantage of those and this is a nice spot for them. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-06-24 | Marlins v. Cardinals -141 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
Cardinals -141 Facing the Marlins to start the year has been profitable as this team has struggled mightily. They have dropped their first 8 games and now have to figure things out here Saturday in a game where they’re going to struggle against Steven Matz. He pitched very well against the Dodgers in his opener, allowing just 2 runs against the best offense in the MLB. He has the ability to keep offenses off-balanced and that’s what he’s going to do here on Saturday. Miami is lacking confidence as a team and Matz is a frustrating pitcher to have to deal with. Trevor Rogers was knocked around by the Pirates in his first start, giving up 4 runs as command was a big issue for him. The Cardinals offense is putting up great at bats and making opposing pitchers work. They will have plenty of traffic on the bases against Rogers on Saturday, giving them the value here. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* MLB ML Play |

04-05-24 | Orioles -126 v. Pirates | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
Orioles -126 Probable Pitchers: Rodriguez (1-0, 1.50 ERA, 9 K's) vs. Jones (1-0, 4.76 ERA, 10 K's) Get ready for a showdown at PNC Park Friday as the Pirates (6-1) clash with the Orioles (4-2) at 4:12pm ET. Opening odds are in favor of the Orioles -134 vs. Pirates +114. Grayson Rodriguez (1-0, 1.50 ERA) aims for another victory for the Orioles, while Jared Jones (1-0, 4.76 ERA) leads the Pirates' charge. Orioles are fresh off a 4-3 victory against the Royals, while the Pirates took down the Nats 7-4. Baltimore has the edge here at this price. The Orioles are going to be right in the thick of things throughout the season. This team has just about everything, top to bottom, and they’re going to have value when they’re at this kind of price. They send out Grayson Rodriguez, who threw a gem in his first start. He logged 6.0 innings, allowing just 4 hits and 1 run against the Angels. He has a great mix of a fastball and off speed pitches which allows him to keep opposing hitters off balanced. Hes countered by Pirates rookie, Jared Jones, who allowed 3 runs in his first start against Miami. This is a huge step up lineup wise as the Orioles hitters make pitchers work. They’re going to put a lot of traffic on the bases and force him out of the stretch early in this one. With how good this lineup is, they should have plenty of success against Jones and provide Rodriguez with some good support. We’re getting a really good price on the better team with the pitching edge on Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-03-24 | Blue Jays v. Astros -136 | 0-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
Astros -136 Probable Pitchers: Bassitt (0-1, 7.20 ERA, 6 SO) vs. Javier (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 6 SO) Get ready for a nice Wednesday pitching matchup as the Astros clash with the Blue Jays in game two at Minute Maid Park. After a nail-biting victory last night, the Jays are looking to maintain momentum with their 3-3 record. Houston, standing at 1-5, might seem off their game, but trust me, they're better than their record shows. Let's not forget Javier's stellar performance in the season opener against the Yankees, proving they've got what it takes to bounce back. The Astros and Jays battle in the rubber match and we’re on the home side here. Houston should find a lot of success against Chris Bassitt here. He comes in after lasting just 5.0 innings against the Rays in his opening, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits. He struggled with his command and the Houston lineup should make him work here. Expect them to get his pitch count up and force a lot of traffic on the bases. Javier will counter and he has momentum to build off of. He pitched a gem against New York, tossing 6.0 innings of scoreless ball, giving up just 4 hits in the process. Houston’s rotation continues to put together good outings, as they’re giving this team a chance to win every night. The Astros offense just needs to find their consistency and this team will be fine. This is a great matchup for them against Bassitt, as they should have him out of the stretch a lot in this one. This is a nice price and a valuable one here. You know what to do. Hop ON!

03-30-24 | Red Sox v. Mariners -144 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 22 h 21 m | Show | |
Mariners -144 Probable Pitchers: Crawford vs. Gilbert Logan Gilbert is one of 3 CY Young hopefuls on this young M's pitching staff (along with Kirby and Castillo) Widely considered one of the best pitching prospects in baseball he's hoping to start out his year with a bang to keep up with his club mates. Gilbert finished with a 14:2 K:BB across the 9.2 innings covering his last 2 spring turns, and he'll now turn his attention to his regular-season debut vs. BOS. Last season, Gilbert impressed in his 3rd year with the M's, tallying career-highs in innings (190 2/3) and strikeouts (189). He promises continued value with his high strikeout potential and I like him to lock down the Red Sox on Saturday in Seattle. It also doesn't hurt when you have a lineup like the Mariners have. They're widely considered to be a playoff contender this season and there's just too much talent on this roster. I think it shows itself Saturday. The Red Sox won't keep up. You know what to do.

03-28-24 | Cubs +105 v. Rangers | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 45 h 41 m | Show | |
Cubs +105 Probable Pitchers: Steele (0-0, ERA) vs. Eovaldi (0-0, ERA) The Rangers begin their defense of the World Series as they welcome in the Chicago Cubs on Opening Day Thursday. There is good value here on the Cubs, as we’ve seen defending champions typically lose their opening day in recent seasons. The Cubs also have an edge here pitching wise. Justin Steele finished 2023 with a 16-5 record, holding an ERA of just 3.06. While he did battle a couple injury stints, Steele still was the ace of this rotation and put together a solid campaign. He tallied 176 strikeouts in 2023 and this spring racked up 13 in 4 outings. He’s countered by Nathan Eovaldi, who also missed over a month last year with injuries. He's facing a Cubs lineup that is very deep this year and re-signed Cody Bellinger who had a ton of success last year. This lineup will make Eovaldi work and they should be able to produce a lot of run scoring chances. Chicago is going to be a force in the NL this year and there’s good value on them at this price. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB ML Play |

Rangers -102 Starting Pitchers: Eovaldi (16-5, 3.61 ERA) vs. Gallen (19-11, 3.68 ERA) Welcome to November baseball! Tonight, the Diamondbacks (94-84, 46-41 at home) and Rangers (102-76, 50-41 away) are set to face off at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, in Game 5 of the World Series. You can catch all the action on FOX at 8:03 PM ET. The betting odds paint an intriguing picture, with the Rangers at -1.5 on the run line for the game, while the Diamondbacks are at +1.5. In terms of the moneyline, Texas comes in at -110, with Arizona also at -110. The over/under, indicating the total number of runs expected, is set at 8.5 runs. As the tension mounts, the big question is, which team will emerge victorious? Well, according to our prediction, it's THE RANGERS! We can't deny it; we're never quite ready for the baseball season to end, but the time has come, and it's happening tonight. Our bet? We're putting our money on the Rangers ML. Texas has had little issues with Arizona over the last two games. The World Series trophy is in the house on Wednesday night as Texas can clinch. This is the kind of game where Eovaldi has stepped up all season long. The RH is 4-0 this postseason and will look to rebound from a rough Game 1 start. He’s been one of the best in the league at bouncing back and this time should be no different. Combine that with how well this offense is dialed in and he should see some run support. Texas has them on the ropes and this should be the kind of game they get out to an early lead and let Eovaldi settle in. Runs per game. Texas 5.75. Arizona 4.56. That 1-run makes all the difference tonight in what should be a classic. World series champs... has a nice "ring" to it... hey? (See what I did there? LOL) Some trends to note, Texas are 5-1 SU in their L6 games, and are 7-0 in their L7 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and they're 6-0 in their L6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Plus they're 10-0 in their L10 road games! On the other side the Diamondbacks are 0-7 in their L7 interleague home games, and are 2-4 SU in their L6 games when playing at home against Texas. Back the Rangers in Game 5 tonight to win it all. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

Texas -106 Probable Pitchers: TEX - M. Scherzer-R vs ARI - B. Pfaadt-R Tonight, the Diamondbacks play against the Rangers in Game 3 of the 2023 World Series at 8:03 PM ET in Chase Field. The series is tied 1-1. Both teams have an equal chance to win, with Arizona seeing -110 odds. The Rangers are -106 on the ML. The predicted total score (O/U) is 9. In the last game, the Dbacks won 9-1, thanks to Merrill Kelly's excellent performance. Now, Brandon Pfaadt (with a 3-9 record and 5.72 ERA) will pitch for the Diamondbacks, while Max Scherzer (with a 13-6 record and 3.77 ERA) will pitch for the Rangers. We're on Texas here as the World Series shifts to Arizona. The Rangers send out Scherzer, who has to step up at some point here during the postseason. He battled back from injury, but has not looked like himself at all. After the Rangers walked off game 1, we saw Scherzer go out to the outfield and get a bullpen session in. The 3x Cy Young winner and 8x MLB All Star is at a different level right now mentally and that should translate on the field in Game 3. He went 4-2 with a 3.20 ERA in 8 starts for the Rangers in 2023. Scherzer has played in the World Series before. He won one game and didn't lose any in three World Series games. He played for Detroit in 2012 and won the first game for Washington in 2019. This will be Pfaadt's first time pitching in a WS. Pfaadt has stepped up for Arizona, but the rookie is going to have his hands full with this lineup in his 5th postseason start. In the regular season, Pfaadt had some trouble with a 5.72 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. But in the playoffs, he's doing much better with a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts in 16.2 innings. The Rangers are going to make him work and put a lot of traffic on the bases. This is a valuable play at this kind of price. We trust Texas' offense more tonight. Some trends to note, Texas is 6-0 in their L6 road games vs. right handed starters. Plus, Texas are 10-4 SU in their L14 games, and are 8-0 SU in their L8 games on the road. Also, Arizona are 1-5 SU in their L6 games against an opponent in the AL. Back Scherzer and the Rangers on Monday night in G3. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* World Series G3 ML Pick |

The series is locked at 3-3, and the (90-72) Rangers go head-to-head with the Astros (90-72) at 8:03 ET in Minute Maid Park, Houston, TX. MLB odds: Rangers at +107, Astros at -126 on the Moneyline. The Run Line odds are Rangers +1.5 and Astros -1.5. Plus, the gambling total is set at O/U 9. Houston are 6-4 in their L10, the Rangers are 7-3. Houston is the move as Game 7 takes place Monday night. The Astros were knocked around in Game 6 and now it’s all hands on deck with the season on the line for both teams. Christian Javier gets the ball for the Astros and he’s stepped up all postseason long. The RH already has a win over Texas this series, going 5.2 innings, allowing just 2 runs. Come to think of it, he's only allowed 2 runs in his last 10 2/3. He’s come up big for them all season long and now he has a chance to send them to the World Series. He finished the season 10-5, 4.56 ERA, 159 strikeouts, and 62 walks. Max Scherzer counters and he just hasn’t been himself. Battling injuries, Scherzer returned and got knocked around by Houston for 5 runs in 4 innings of work and 63 total pitches. He’s continued to work his way back but this is not the spot you want to be continuing battling back. Can you rely on Scherzer tonight? I can't. Some trends to note, Texas are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games against Houston. On the other side Houston are 10-4 SU in their last 14 games. We're backing the Stros at home in Game 7 on Monday night.

Heaney-L (10-6, 4.15 ERA) In the upcoming 2023 ALCS Game 4 showdown, we've got the Astros (94-75, 54-30 on the road, 7-3 in the last 10 games) squaring off against the Rangers (97-73, 51-32 at home, 8-2 in the last 10 games). The action is set to kick off at 8:03 ET at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, on FS1. MLB - ALCS Betting Lines: Texas holds the money line at -126, with Houston at +108. The run line favors Texas at -1.5 (+148) and Houston at +1.5 (-190), while the over/under is set at 9. The pitching duel for this game will see Andrew Heaney (0-0, 2.45 ERA in the postseason) taking the mound for the Rangers and Jose Urquidy (1-0, 3.18 ERA in the postseason) for the Astros. Heaney boasts a 4-4 record with a 3.35 ERA in 15 career starts against the Astros, while Urquidy, though not facing Texas in 2023, has an impressive 5-0 record with a 2.82 ERA in 7 career starts against them. Texas took game 1, in Game 2, the Rangers defeated the Astros 5-4, extending their 2023 MLB postseason winning streak to seven games. That's where the road stopped. The Stros' backs were up against it and they responded with a BIG win on Wednesday night. We backed Houston at plus money yesterday and we’re rolling with them once again here in game 4. We’re on Houston, plus money on the road. (We also called the OVER yesterday with our FREE MLB play) After getting themselves back into the series with a dominant win, they’re back at it with a chance to even the series. The Astros have leaned all year on this offense, that came alive in a big way after putting up 8 runs in a win. This team is at their best when they get contributions from many different players and they should find success against Heaney on Thursday. He’s not an overpowering pitcher and the Astros have the ability to string together hits no matter where they are at in this lineup. Urquidy gave the Astros everything they could have asked for in his lone postseason start, going 5.2 innings, allowing just 3 hits and 2 runs. He needs to keep the ball down and avoid the free passes here. Some trends to note, Houston are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games, and 8-3 SU in their last 11 games against Texas, plus they're 7-0 SU in their last 7 games on the road, and they're 15-4 SU in their last 19 games played in October. Let me break it down for you, the Astros win last night was their 17th win in their last 20 road games. They're now 7-1 vs. the Rangers in 2023 on the road. Back the Stros again tonight to get it done. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* ALCS ML Play |

Houston +120 Probable Pitchers: HOU - C. Javier-R vs TEX - M. Scherzer-R Tonight, the Texas Rangers face the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the 2023 ALCS at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. First pitch is at 8:03 p.m. ET, and you can watch it on Fox Sports 1. Max Scherzer (13-6, 3.77 ERA) takes the mound for the Rangers, while Cristian Javier (10-5, 4.56 ERA) starts for the Astros. Betting odds for ALCS Game 3 have Texas favored at -131 on the money line, while Houston sits at +110. The run line has Texas at -1.5 (+147), and the Over/Under (O/U) total is set at 9. In Game 2, the Rangers defeated the Astros 5-4, extending their 2023 MLB postseason winning streak to seven games. They now lead the series 2-0. Tonight, we’re on Houston here, plus money on the road. This isn’t do or die, but it’s about as close as you can get really. The Astros have to win. They've lost both at home and now have to take on Max Scherzer here. The RH is not at 100% after sustaining an injury on Sept 12. He will be limited and on a pitch count (65-70), and also shouldn’t have all his velocity back. He hasn't pitched since mid September. Countering him is Christian Javier. The RH allowed just 1 hit through 5.0 innings against the Twins in the first round and should be up for the task here. He’s come up in some big spots already for Houston and has the playoff experience. Houston dominated a 3 game set in this ballpark earlier this season, outscoring Texas 39-10. They have been in spots like this before with their backs against the wall and aren’t shy about the bright lights. Some trends to note, Houston are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games on the road, and are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against the Rangers. I'm backing the Astros tonight to get back into this series. They won't go down 0-3. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

The Rangers clinched Game 1 with a 2-0 score, and we backed the home team. Both teams, Rangers (90-72) Astros (90-72), co-held the AL West title but Texas lost out on the MLB tiebreaker system. Houston's is in their 7th consecutive ALCS as 3-time AL West champions. Astros are favored at -122 on the money line with a total of 8.5, and the run line is Houston -1.5 (+166). We’re on the Astros here, at this price. Game 1 was all Texas as they won their 6th straight playoff game after a 2-0 win over the Astros. Houston’s offense just had nothing going for them and now they look to even the series before heading out to Arlington. The Astros have been one of the best bounce back teams in baseball. We saw them already do it once after losing to the Twins, which led them to two straight wins after that. Valdez (12-12 ERA: 3.60) gets the ball and he will look to erase is poor outing. The LH was consistent this season overall and dominated Texas back on 9/5. He went 7.0 innings, allowing just 1 run. Valdez had a record of 12 wins and 11 losses in the regular season, with a 3.45 ERA. against Texas, he went 1-2 with a 4.32 ERA. Valdez has faced Texas 16x in his career, starting in 13. He's got a 7-5 record, a 2.90 ERA, and 89 strikeouts. Eovaldi (14-5 ERA: 3.42) had a rough end to the regular season, conceding 15 runs in his last 3 starts. In the playoffs, he's been okay, but his latest game against Houston was tough as he allowed 4 runs in just 1.1 innings. They lit him up. The Rangers lead the overall series 135-132, while Houston holds a 69-65 home advantage. The Rangers are hoping Eovaldi lasts into the 6th, or this one could get ugly again. Some trends to note, Texas are 2-7 SU in their last 9 games against Houston. On the other side, Houston are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games, and they're are 14-3 SU in their last 17 games played in October. In the L10 vs. Texas they've averaged 7.7 RPG, to Texas' 5.6 RPG, and Houston have lost 6 of the L10 to Texas. This is a get right game, and they're going to come out with their best efforts tonight. We're on the Astros on Monday night. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* ALCS MLB ML Winner |

Astros ML Probable Pitchers: TEX - J. Montgomery-L vs HOU - J. Verlander-R The ALCS kicks off this Sunday as the Astros take on the Rangers. It all starts at 8:15 PM ET in Minute Maid Park, and you can catch it on FOX. According to our trusted offshore sportsbooks, the Astros are favored at -139 on the moneyline, while the Rangers are the underdogs at +118. Houston is expected to win by at least 1.5 runs. The over/under total for the game is set at 8.5 runs. Justin Verlander (13-8, 3.22 ERA) will be on the mound for the Astros, facing off against Jordan Montgomery (10-11, 3.20 ERA) of the Rangers. We're on Houston here, as they take on Texas in the ALCS Game 1. The Astros are the team to beat here this postseason. They come in after beating up on the Twins in Games 3 and 4 en route to winning the series 3-1. Houston can go toe to toe with this Rangers offense. Houston ranks right up at the top in almost every offensive category and now they're getting contributions from many different players this postseason already. It was Abreu who play the biggest part in beating the Twins and he'll look to carry that momentum in. Verlander will also be pitching with a lot of momentum himself. He dominated Minnesota in Game 1 and has been pitching at a high level as of late. He should see some offensive support as Montgomery isn't going to overpower anyone in this lineup. Some trends to note, Texas are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games against Houston, and Houston are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games overall. The last 10 times these two have played the Stros have averaged 8.2 runs per game, while the Rangers have checked in with 5.7 runs per game. We're backing Verlander & the Astros in Game 1 of the ALCS on Sunday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB ML Play |

Houston +110 Probable Pitchers: HOU - J. Urquidy-R vs MIN - J. Ryan-R The Astros are close to their seventh straight ALCS win, just one W away. Houston leads 2-1 against the Twins in the ALDS, aiming to finish the series. The game starts at 7:07 p.m. ET and will be played at Target Field in Minneapolis. You can catch it on FS1. The odds favor the Twins at -125, while the Astros are at +105. The over/under stands at 8.5 runs. The starting pitchers are RHP Joe Ryan (11-10, 4.51 ERA) for the Twins and RHP José Urquidy (3-3, 5.29 ERA) for the Astros. We’re on Houston here, once again. We backed Houston in Game 3 and they dominated from start to finish. The offense did exactly what they’ve been doing all year long, responding to losses in a big way. Jose Abreu bombed two homers for us en route to a big win. Now, they have a chance to knock out the Twins on Wednesday. Houston is just leaning on their experience and they now have the Twins on the ropes. Minnesota has struggled mightily in elimination games as well. Jose Urquidy has come up in some good spots for the Stros as well. He pitched a gem to close his regular season out against the Dbacks and can lean on that. He’s countered by Joe Ryan battled injuries in the 2nd half of the season and struggled mightily down the stretch. He is the perfect person to fade here in this high leverage spot. Some trends to note, Houston are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games, and are 10-5 SU in their last 15 games against Minnesota. Lastly, they're 5-0 SU in their last 5 games on the road, and they're 9-3 SU in their last 12 games when playing on the road against the Twins. We're on the Astros to close this one out today.

10-11-23 | Braves v. Phillies -121 | 2-10 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
Philadelphia -121 Probable Pitchers: Elder (Named Starter) 3.81 ERA vs. Nola (13-9) ERA: 4.31 Braves have named Elder Game 3 NLDS starter. Elder will have a short leash I guarantee you that. His 1.28 WHIP and 128:63 K:BB across 31 starts does not give me the warm and fuzzy's. The NLDS moves to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Wednesday. After each team won one game, the series is now a best-of-three. Today's game is at 5:07 p.m. ET, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, and you can catch it on TBS. The MLB betting odds stand at PHI -130, ATL +110, with an over/under of 9 runs. Game 2 was about as electric as you could get. The Braves battled all the way back and made a sensational double play with a catch at the wall to seal it in the 9th. This is the kind of series where these two teams will continue to exchange blows. Philadelphia has proven it’s hard to come in and win at Citizens Bank Ballpark. They dominated Miami in the wild card round and they put together good performances all season here. This is the kind of team built for moments like this and Nola is going to come up big for them. He’s already got one dominate start under his belt against the Marlins and is looking to repeat his 7.0 inning, 3 hit masterpiece. (We expect Smith-Shawver to still pitch today) He hasn’t had much success to build off of and this Phili offense is going to make him work. Look for them to rack his pitch count up early and produce a lot of scoring opportunities. Some trends to note, Atlanta are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games played in October. Philadelphia are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games, and they're 8-1 SU in their last 9 games at home. The more I research this matchup the more I think we might witness both Smith-Shawver and Elder playing in this game, in one way or another. Even with the Braves' starting pitcher "gamesmanship" we’re on the Phillies, here at home in Game 3. Phillies get a leg up in the NLDS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

10-10-23 | Astros +120 v. Twins | 9-1 | Win | 120 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Astros +120 Probable Pitchers: HOU - C. Javier-R vs MIN - S. Gray-R After splitting the first two games of the series, the Houston Astros (90-72) and Minnesota Twins (87-75) are aiming to get closer to winning this 2023 ALDS match as they meet on Tuesday in Minneapolis. The game will start at 4:07 p.m. ET at Target Field. In terms of betting, the odds indicate Houston at +114 and Minnesota at -134 on the money line. The over/under for the total runs is set at 8, and the run line favors Minnesota at -1.5 with odds of +156. Houston has value here. The Astros had nothing going for them in Game 2 and now will have to steal home field back from the Twins on Tuesday afternoon. Christian Javier is just the guy you want on the hill here. Javier, a right-handed pitcher is 10-5 with an ERA of 4.56, In 31 games, he threw 162 innings. During that time, he had 62 walks and 159 strikeouts, with a WHIP of 1.27. He’s came up in clutch spot after clutch spot and he has confidence heading in here. He shut the Diamondbacks down in his final start as he went 6.0 innings allowing 0 runs just on 3 hits. The Astros lineup should produce here too. Gray is very hittable and Houston is one of the best at making pitchers work. Look for them to get to Gray early here and put a lot of traffic on the base paths. Game time weather has things in the mid 50's (F). Historically, the Astros have a 47-40 lead in their head-to-head matchups, which includes a 3-1 advantage in postseason games. Gray had two no decisions vs. the Stros in the regular season. Some trends to note, Houston are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road, and they're 5-1 SU in their last 6 games. Back the road team on Tuesday night. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Dodgers ML Probable Pitchers: ARI - Z. Gallen-R vs LAD - B. Miller-R The LA Dodgers play against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second NLDS game on Monday at 9:07 PM ET, airing on TBS from Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers aim to recover after losing Game 1. They're favored at -160, while the underdog Diamondbacks have +136 odds. The Dodgers lead the run-line at -1.5. The game's total runs are set at 8.5. Bobby Miller (11-4) pitches for the Dodgers, while Zac Gallen (17-9) takes the mound for the Diamondbacks. In 2023, Miller had a good 3.76 ERA and 1.10 WHIP, with 119 strikeouts and 32 walks in 124.1 innings. DBacks' Zack Gallen, who struggled on the road with a 4.42 ERA and 1.20 WHIP is on the other side.. In his last game, Miller allowed two runs in 6.1 innings against the Astros, taking a loss. Gallen's challenge is his weaker road performance. This is a nice spot to back LA in a bounce back position. The Dodgers were dead and buried before they could even bat in Game 1. However, this has been a bounce back team all season long and they rarely allow losses to pile up. The offense is the biggest key here. They have to stake Bobby Miller to an early lead and allow him to settle in. Los Angeles was one of the top offenses in the MLB all season long as they produced runs with the long ball and situational hitting. They will make Zac Gallen work and try to get his pitch count up early. The Dbacks pen has a lot of question marks as well, which should benefit this play here. Look for LA to get a good outing from Miller and for them to see the stars like Betts and Freeman come up with some clutch plays. Some trends to note, Arizona are 1-5 SU in their L6 games against LA Dodgers. On the other side LA are 12-6 SU in their L18 games, and they're 15-5 SU in their L20 games when playing at home against Arizona. Miller faced the DBacks 2x in the regular season, and held them to 4 runs in 12 innings of work. Gallen wasn't good vs. LAD this year, allowing 11 runs, 16 hits, and 3 walks in his 2 starts. Back the Dodgers on the ML tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* MLB ML Play |

10-08-23 | Twins v. Astros -128 | 6-2 | Loss | -128 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
Astros ML Probable Pitchers: MIN - P. Lopez-R vs HOU (12-8 3.65 ERA) - F. Valdez-L (12-11 3.45 ERA) The betting odds for game 2 of the matchup between the Twins and the Astros are as follows: The Twins are listed at +121, while the Astros are favored at -144. The total runs expected Over/Under (O/U), is set at 7.5. Phenomenal start last night for the Astros. Verlander pitched 6 shutout innings, Alvarez homered 2x and the Astros held on for a 6-4 W over the Twins in their AL Division Series opener. The defending World Series champions are set to go up against Minnesota's standout pitcher, Pablo López, in Game 2 on Sunday night (scheduled for 8:03 pm ET at Minute Maid Park), and game 2 presents an opportunity to seize a substantial advantage in the series. Pablo Lopez was great in his start vs. the Blue Jays last week there's no denying that. But this game vs. the Astros in Houston in the playoffs is going to be a different beast altogether. Lopez endured a challenging conclusion to the regular season, yielding 11 runs across 15.1 innings. Nonetheless, he made a strong comeback in Game 1 of the Twins' AL Wild Card Series vs Toronto, surrendering only 1 run across 5.2 innings. He also recorded 3 strikeouts and issued 2 walks. In September, he boasted a 3.68 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, and amassed 38 strikeouts in 29.1 innings of play. Framber Valdez boasted an impressive postseason record in 2022, going 3-0 with a remarkable 1.44 ERA and a superb 0.88 WHIP across four starts. Notably, he secured two pivotal victories over the Phillies during the World Series. Last Wednesday, Valdez pitched for 4 innings against the Mariners, giving up 3 runs on 5 hits and 5 walks. Despite striking out 7 batters, he ended up with a no-decision. In his 31 starts this year, he has accumulated 198 innings and maintained an impressive stat line of a 3.45 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and an impressive 200 strikeouts & 57 walks. The Twins are in for a tough Game 2, as Game 1 served as a stark reminder of the challenges that lie ahead in October. It becomes even more daunting when you're up against a playoff tested and well-rested Astros lineup that just mashes at home. Sunday doesn't seem favorable for them, and I anticipate the Twins will find themselves trailing 0-2. They'll have to dig deep and fend off a potential sweep on Tuesday to keep their October aspirations alive. Some trends to note, Minnesota are 4-9 SU in their last 13 games against Houston, and Houston are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games. We're on the Stros on Sunday evening. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Philadelphia -153 Probable Pitchers: MIA - B. Garrett-L vs PHI - A. Nola-R Yesterday, we watched four Wild Card Series Game 1s, with the Phillies triumphing over the Marlins 4-1 in the final matchup. The Marlins will fight to stay in the series in Game 2 on Wednesday night, while the Phillies aim to move forward and face the Braves in the NLDS. The game will take place at 8:08 p.m. ET at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Betting odds for the game are Marlins +130 and Phillies -159, and the runline odds are Marlins +1.5 and Phillies -1.5. The over/under for total runs scored is set at 8. We’re riding with Phili again here on Wednesday night. We backed them in Game 1 as they showed they are the much better all around team. The Phillies are getting clutch hits and coming up with some key arms stepping up. Nola gets the ball after grabbing 12 wins during the regular season. The RH threw back to back quality starts to end his regular season and his experience is going to be the difference here. He was 2-2 last postseason, getting a ton of exposure as this Phillies side went to the World Series. Garrett counters for the Marlins with his first postseason start. That is not going to bode well in this ballpark, against this lineup. Look for him to work early and be forced into throwing a lot of pitches. This is going to be the experience factor. With the Marlins facing elimination, things will go sideways early for them. Some trends to note, the Phils are 7-3 in their L10 games vs. the NL, plus Philadelphia are 9-3 SU in their L12 games, and they're 7-1 in their L8 games at home. Normally we don't suggest odds greater than -150, but this is MLB playoff baseball. Let's get some action, and back the Phillies to advance to the NLDS on Wednesday. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Blue Jays +122 Probable Pitchers: TOR - J. Berrios-R vs MIN - S. Gray-R The Twins broke their long playoff losing streak of 18 games with a 3-1 victory on Tuesday, thanks to Pablo López's performance. Now, they're eager to advance to the ALDS on Wednesday. The game is scheduled for 4:38 pm ET, taking place at Target Field in Minneapolis and will be broadcast on ESPN. The starting pitchers for the matchup are RHP José Berríos (11-12, 3.65) and RHP Sonny Gray (8-8, 2.79). The MLB Moneyline Odds are Blue Jays +116 and Twins -139, while the Runline MLB Odds are Blue Jays +1.5 and Twins -1.5. The MLB Betting Total is set at O/U: 7.5. We’re on the Blue Jays here, as they look to avoid elimination. It doesn’t need to be said, but Jays manager John Schneider already has come out and said it is all hands on deck here on Wednesday afternoon. The Jays will at least have experience on their side here. They will send out Jose Berrios, who spent a majority of his career with the Twins. He pitched in three postseason games for Minnesota, posting an ERA of 3.75 in that span. He will also be facing the Twins for the 6th time in his career, holding a 3-1 record so far. Sonny Gray is also experienced on the mound in the playoffs but holds an 0-2 record in 4 playoff starts. Gray will be making his first postseason start since 2017. We’re taking the better lineup here with a team that can come up with more clutch hits. A trend to note, Toronto are 12-6 SU in their last 18 games against an opponent in the AL Central. We're on the Jays ML this afternoon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

The Blue Jays come in boasting an 89-73 record, while the Twins hold an 87-75 record. The game is set to begin at 4:38 PM ET. The anticipated starting pitchers for this clash are Kevin Gausman, with a 12-9 record and a 3.16 ERA, going up against Pablo López, who stands at 11-8 with a 3.66 ERA. In terms of MLB Moneyline Odds, the Blue Jays are at -105, while the Twins are slightly favored at -115. Run Line Betting Odds show the Blue Jays at -1.5 and the Twins at +1.5, with the Over/Under Total set at 7.5 runs for this thrilling MLB showdown. The Twins have value here in Game 1. Everyone is dismissing the Twins as the AL Central was the weakest division in baseball. However, this team may have one of the best pitching sides and they have the offense to support it. Minnesota sends out Pablo Lopez, who was consistent and always gave the Twins a chance to win. The Twins RH has 11 wins on the year and should find success with his off speed pitches. Offensively for Minnesota, they’re no slouch. They can hit the long ball and they rocked Gausman for 6 runs earlier this season on 7 hits. Some trends to note, Toronto are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games, Minnesota are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games, and they're 4-2 SU in their last 6 games at home. There’s a lot to value on this Twins side as they continue to get overlooked. Back the Twins in G1. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

Blue Jays ML Probable Pitchers: TAM - S. Armstrong-R vs TOR - H. Ryu-L Today at 3:07PM ET, from the Rogers Centre in Toronto the stage is set for the second game of a three-game series. In this matchup, the favored Rays (97-63), with -115 moneyline odds, will face off against the underdog Blue Jays (89-71), who are listed at -105. The Rays are heading into this contest as 1.5-run favorites, with odds at +144. The total number of runs expected for this game is set at 9. Taking the mound for the Tampa Bay Rays will be Shawn Armstrong (1-0), while the Toronto Blue Jays will have Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-3) as their starting pitcher. The Blue Jays need to win, the Rays don't. Sometimes in gambling you just have to do the right thing. This is one of those times. Don't overthink this one, this shouldn't be close as Tampa Bay could play AAA players at this point, as guys are being rested. The Jays won 11-4 on Friday, and I'm expecting something similar in today's game. Some trends to note, Tampa Bay are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against Toronto. Toronto are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games. We're on the Jays ML today. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB ML Play |

Baltimore also leads on the run line (-1.5, +168 odds), with an over/under of 8 runs for the game. Probable Pitchers: BOS - N. Pivetta-R (9-9) vs BAL - J. Means-L (1-1) We’re on the Red Sox here as they are in a nice spot after Baltimore clinched the East on Thursday. Boston should catch the O’s sitting some regulars for starters. This is the chance for Baltimore to get things figured out and set all their lineups and rotations. Boston sends out Pivetta, who is looking for his 10th win of the year. The RH threw 7.0 shutout innings against the White Sox last time out as he comes in with some confidence. He’s pitched very well as of late, putting up quality starts and working deep into games. This will be the kind of game Baltimore takes lightly. After celebrating last night, they’re going to not be worried in this spot. Boston is still trying to finish strong and they’ll come out with some fire on Friday. You won't find any trends supporting this play, but we're backing the Red Sox on the ML tonight.

Yankees ML Probable Pitchers: NYY - G. Cole-R (14-4, 2.75 ERA) vs TOR - J. Berrios-R (11-11, 3.58 ERA) Tonight from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, the Blue Jays take on the Yankees at 7:07 PM ET. The odds are set with the Blue Jays at -110 moneyline favorites, while the Yankees are -104 moneyline odds to secure a win. New York holds a 1.5-run advantage, with odds at +162. The total run count for this matchup is set at 7. In their recent outings, Berrios suffered a setback on Thursday, conceding 4 runs on 7 hits during his 5.2 innings against the Yankees, while also recording 6 strikeouts. Although he faced a challenging August, his performance has been marginal at best, with a 1-3 record and a 5.53 ERA over his last four starts. On the other hand, Cole secured a victory last Thursday, allowing only 1 run on a mere 2 hits during his nice 8-inning stint against these Jays, while tossing an impressive 9 K's. The Yankees are worth the move in this one. Cole looks to solidify his Cy Young campaign on Wednesday as the Yankees look to play the spoilers. The RH has been pitching on a tear right now and he’s continued to give them length every time he’s on the hill. New York is playing good baseball right now as well, as they’ve cashed in back to back games. With the momentum and confidence Cole has right now, this is a great price on a pitcher who still has a lot to pitch for. Some trends to note, Yankees are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games on the road, and are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against Toronto. Back the Yanks on Humpday.

09-24-23 | Blue Jays v. Rays -104 | 9-5 | Loss | -104 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
Rays ML Probable Pitchers: TOR - Y. Kikuchi-L vs TAM - T. Bradley-R Kikuchi (who is now 32) takes the mound Sunday for the Jays. He's had a decent season. But he's prone to off days like all the good pitchers around and this Rays lineup can hit from 1-9. The southpaw boasts a respectable 3.74 ERA and a 170:46 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 158.2 innings, over 30 starts. Taj Bradley has experienced a rollercoaster of a first season in the major leagues. In his latest outing, he didn't play a significant role in the decision on Tuesday, conceding one run on three hits and one walk during a five-inning performance against the Angels. He managed to strike out six batters. It was by all accounts his best outing in a while. He just didn't get the W. Over his last four starts since his recall from Triple-A on September 3rd, he has maintained a 4.29 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and a 25:11 K:BB ratio across 21 innings. But having said all that I trust the Rays at home on Sunday to get this done. Off the back of their 9th inning win over the Jays last night I think momentum has swung in this series back to the Rays. They'll rally around their young arm and all will be good on Sunday afternoon. Every game is critical for the Jays. They're playing with a lot of pressure at their backs. Toronto (86-69) leads Houston (85-70) by one game in the race for the second AL wild card spot, while the Mariners (84-70) are trailing the Astros by just half a game. Some trends to note, Toronto are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay are 12-6 SU in their last 18 games, and they're 10-3 SU in their last 13 games when playing as the favourite. We're on the Rays ML on Sunday.

Astros ML The Baltimore Orioles (95-56) are looking to sweep the Houston Astros (84-68) in Houston on Wednesday in the final game of the series between these two AL heavyweights. Following their defeat on Tuesday, the Astros saw their lead in the AL West trimmed to just half a game, with both the Rangers (83-68) and the Mariners (83-68) closing in. Probable Pitchers: BAL - K. Bradish-R vs HOU - C. Javier-R The Astros are the play today. We’re playing the Astros here to avoid the sweep. Houston has dropped the first two games of this series as their pitching has let them down. The Astros send out Javier to try and right the ship. The RH comes in with 9 wins and threw 5.0 innings last time out against the Royals while allowing just 2 runs. He’s stepped up in some big spots already this year and will look to put the brakes on this losing skid. Houston’s offense isn’t the issue either. They’ve produced 12 runs in the 2 losses and should be able to come out here and give Javier some support. Bradish allowed 4 runs for Baltimore last time out and will struggle with this lineup. Back the Stros on the ML. They won't let the O's sweep them in this series. Trends? You're not going to find trends to support this play. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* MLB ML Play |

Reds ML Probable Pitchers: MIN - K. Maeda-R vs CIN - F. Cruz-R The Reds are 37-39 at home. The Twins are 36-40 on the road. We’re on the Reds ML here on Tuesday night. On Tuesday, the Twins (79-72) will Kenta Maeda (5-7, 4.50 ERA), take the mound. Maeda boasts a track record of 2-1 with a 4.62 ERA in 5 career appearances (4 starts) vs. the Reds (79-73). The Twins' are 9-10 when Maeda pitches. Taking the hill for the Reds, will be Fernando Cruz. Cruz's last outing was as an opener on August 26 against Arizona, where he allowed 1 unearned run on 1 hit and struck out 4 across 1.1 innings of play. He's slated to pitch an inning or two on Tuesday before handing the reins over to Ben Lively. Cincinnati took the opener in dominant fashion and now they come back with another huge game as they’re right in the thick of the wild card race. The Reds have leaned on timely hitting this year and they’re getting production from so many different guys in this lineup. They take on Maeda here, who has struggled at times in 2023. Cinci will make him work in this spot. Look for his pitch count to get racked up and for them to have plenty of scoring chances in this one. With Minnesota battling a few injuries as well, the value sits with Cinci. Some trends to note, Minnesota are 4-8 SU in their last 12 games against Cincinnati, and are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games against an opponent in the NL. On the other side Cincinnati are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games, plus, they're 8-2 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent in the AL, and lastly the Reds have hit the ML in 72 of their last 130 games (+23.15 Units / 16% ROI). We're on the Reds tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

09-16-23 | Astros -145 v. Royals | 8-10 | Loss | -145 | 26 h 16 m | Show | |
Astros ML Probable Pitchers: HOU - J. France-R vs KC - C. Ragans-L I like taking the Astros on the moneyline when they're up against a weaker team at odds lower than -140. This time, it's at -145, which is reasonable. J.P. France, who's (11-5) ERA 3.61, had a solid performance in his last game, giving up only 1 run, 4 hits, and 5 walks over 6 innings while striking out 5 against the Padres. We're counting on him to have another strong showing for Houston this Saturday. Ragans gave up 2 runs on 1 hit and issued 6 walks while recording 6 strikeouts in 5.2 innings on Sunday against the Blue Jays. His performance didn't impact the final outcome of the game as he took a no-decision. He's a decent pitcher, but I think the Astros will get to him early and often. The Astros are in a tight race in the AL Wildcard and AL West divisions, so they need the win. A little higher juice than we normally like, but in this case it's too good to pass up. Some trends to note, Houston are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games, are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Kansas City, and are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games on the road. On the other side Kansas City are 5-13 SU in their last 18 games, and 3-9 SU in their last 12 games at home. Lock it in for Saturday. We're on the Astros ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

09-15-23 | Rangers -109 v. Guardians | 3-12 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Rangers ML Probable Pitchers: TEX - J. Gray-R vs CLE - L. Giolito-R We’re on Texas here, at this kind of price. Cleveland has thrown the towel in as they have just constantly found ways to lose. If it’s not the bullpen, it’s the offense. It’s been a rocky ride for this team and they run into a Texas team that is in the midst of a playoff battle. Texas sits 0.5 game out of first and currently in a wild card spot. The AL West and Wild Card are clustered and every game matters here. Giolito gets the ball for Cleveland after getting knocked around in his few starts with the Guards. This Texas lineup is going to feed off him allowing the long the ball. Giolito gave up a lone long ball and allowed 4 runs off 7 hits across 6 innings in a disappointing 7-3 defeat to the Rangers back on August 15th. He has a 3.95 ERA over 5 career outings, versus the Rangers. We’re grabbing the better team at this kind of price. Texas and Corey Seager in particular can do no wrong of late. Some trends to note, Texas are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games, and are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road. Cleveland are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games, they're also 1-9 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent in the AL West. Back the Rangers straight up. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* MLB ML Play |

09-14-23 | Rays v. Orioles -130 | 4-3 | Loss | -130 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
Orioles ML In tonight's MLB betting showdown, it's the Tampa Bay Rays (90-57) taking on the Baltimore Orioles (91-54). We've got Aaron Civale squaring off against Kyle Bradish on the mound. The moneyline odds are leaning Orioles at -139, while the Rays are sitting at +117. As for the betting total, it's set at 8.5 runs. Baltimore has value on the ML here. The Orioles and Rays begin a huge series in Baltimore and we’re backing Bradish here. The O’s RH has logged 5 straight quality starts, going 6.0 innings in each of those. He’s been a huge piece to this teams success here in 2023, constantly giving them a chance to win when he takes the mound. The confidence is high for Bradish, after logging six innings of just 2 runs against Boston last time out. Aaron Civale counters, as he was traded for spots like this. Since joining Tampa, he’s been hit or miss, but this Baltimore lineup. He let up 4 runs last time out to Seattle and just hasn’t had consistency. Some trends to note, Tampa Bay are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games against Baltimore. On the other side Baltimore are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games, and are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against an opponent in the AL East. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB ML Play |

Twins ML Probable Pitchers: TAM - T. Bradley-R vs MIN - D. Keuchel-L We’re on the Twins here, in this rubber match, Minnesota took the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday night as they continue to put together wins trying to close out the Al Central. Keuchel is slowly regaining his old form. 14 strikeouts to 9 walks with a 4.78 ERA in 26.1 MLB innings now for the season. On Friday, Keuchel didn't secure a decision as he allowed 2 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks over 5 innings during the Twins' victory over the Mets, recording 6 strikeouts. Since coming back to the bigs, Keuchel's velocity hasn't seen a significant increase, but he's returned to expertly painting the edges of the zone. When he works ahead he's a dangerous pitcher to face. Also taking a no-decision last game out was Taj Bradley. He recorded 5 K's and conceded 4 runs from 6 hits and 2 walks during his 6.1 innings on the mound. He gave up 3 HR's vs. the Mariners last week. He has a 12:7 K-Walk ratio over 11 innings in his L2 starts. He’s struggled this year in many spots, as he sits with an ERA of 5.44. Not exactly a model of consistency when you look back at his recent outings in the bigs, and he puts a lot of traffic on the bases. Some trends to note, Minnesota are 10-5 SU in their last 15 games played in September, and they have a 8-2 mark vs. the runline across their last ten home games. We're on the Twins on Humpday.

Rays +119 Probable Pitchers: TAM - Z. Littell-R vs MIN - J. Ryan-R On Tuesday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays (89-56, 39-31 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Minnesota Twins (75-69, 42-31 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Zack Littell (3-5, 4.29 ERA, 56 SO) taking on Joe Ryan. (10-9, 4.21 ERA, 169 SO) Full analysis coming soon. Some trends to note, Tampa Bay are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games, are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games against Minnesota, and they've hit the ML in 89 of their last 145 games (+10.15 Units / 4% ROI).

Blue Jays +108 Probable Pitchers: TEX - M. Scherzer-R vs TOR - H. Ryu-L On Tuesday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Texas Rangers (79-64, 34-34 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Toronto Blue Jays (80-64, 38-31 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Max Scherzer (12-6, 3.91 ERA, 172 SO) taking on Hyun-jin Ryu. (3-2, 2.65 ERA, 28 SO) We’re on the Jays ML here. Toronto takes on Max Scherzer, who they have dominated for quite some time. The RH is 0-3 in his last 5 starts against the Jays and he comes in off a bad start his last time out. He was rocked by the Astros, going just 3 innings while allowing 7 runs in the process. His struggles will be shown against a lineup that is deep and can make opposing pitchers work. This is a case where they’ll look to get to Scherzer early, getting him out of the stretch. He’s been flustered much easily since joining Texas. Some trends to note, Toronto are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games, are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home, and are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the AL. Plus, the Jays have hit the ML in 6 of their last 8 games (+3.05 Units / 19% ROI). On the other side Texas are 5-10 SU in their last 15 games against an opponent in the American League.

On the bumps we get Zach Davies (2-5, 6.81 ERA, 59 SO) taking on Jose Quintana. (2-5, 3.00 ERA, 39 SO) We’re on the Mets ML here. New York will be playing the spoiler as they take on Arizona. After a disappointing season, New York is still coming in with the mentality to finish the season strong. Quintana gets the ball here. He sits with a 3 era and is pitching with a lot of confidence. He threw 7.0 innings, allowing just 1 run last time out against Washington. He’s countered by Davies. He owns a near 7 era and has been a struggle thus far. He has a lot of command problems and has allowed a lot of scoring chances for the opposition . Some trends to note, the Mets have hit the 1st Five Innings (F5) ML in 19 of their last 36 games at home (+7.88 Units / 16% ROI). On the other side the D-Backs are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games against the Mets, plus they're 1-12 SU in their last 13 games when playing on the road against the Mets. Back the Mets on the ML.

Garrett-L On Thursday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the LA Dodgers (84-54, 37-30 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Miami Marlins (72-67, 40-31 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Ryan Pepiot (1-0, 1.29 ERA, 14 SO) taking on Braxton Garrett. (8-5, 3.86 ERA, 136 SO) It’s been rare to see the Dodgers have losses that come in bunches. For the first time in a while they’re trying to avoid a sweep here. Miami has exploded offensively, but this is a case where Los Angeles will put the brakes on things. Garrett gets the ball for Miami, coming in with a loss on the year to the Dodgers. This is an LA offense that feeds off the top of the order’s production and the Betts/Freeman combo will step up here. Pepiot will take the place of Urias here. He has a 5 inning relief game against Miami where he allowed just one run. He’s pitching with a ton of confidence and has been a huge piece to this team. He’s stepped up in a big way and his success is something he can build off of and use here in this start. Some trends to note, the Dodgers are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games against Miami, and the Dodgers have hit the ML in 18 of their last 26 games (+7.55 Units / 16% ROI) Back the Dodgers on the ML.

On the bumps we get Clayton Kershaw (12-4, 2.48 ERA, 120 SO) taking on Jesus Luzardo. (9-8, 3.62 ERA, 175 SO) The Dodgers have value on the ML. LA is at a nice line here with their ace on the hill. Clayton Kershaw has been dominant here in 2023 and will always have value at this price. Kershaw owns a 2.48 ERA, and comes in after letting up just 1 run against the Dbacks last time out. He owns an ERA of just 2.68 in his career against the Marlins as well, bolstering the value here. Miami will have their hands full with this Dodgers offense as well. They make opposing pitchers work and can put up big numbers quickly. Look for them to come out early with some good at bats, as they aren’t shy about being aggressive on the basepaths either. Some trends to note, the Dodgers are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games against Miami, are 14-6 SU in their last 20 games, and are 16-4 SU in their last 20 games against an opponent in the National League. Plus, the Dodgers have hit the ML in 18 of their last 24 games (+10.40 Units / 24% ROI)For Miami, they're 1-6 SU in their last 7 games at home, and are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against the Dodgers.

On the bumps we get J.P. France (10-5, 3.49 ERA, 86 SO) taking on Andrew Heaney. (9-6, 4.16 ERA, 134 SO) We’re on the Astros ML on Monday. Houston takes on Texas with a chance to really put the Rangers in a bad spot. The Rangers come in off a walk off win, but it was just win 4 out of their last 16. Texas has had so many issues pitching wise and this is not a good spot for them against the Astros. Andrew Heaney gets the ball for the Rangers and he’s been decent as of late. But the worry for them is after his day is done as their bullpen has been taxed and torched. JP France should have his share of success as Texas has seen their lineup pressing as of late too. Some trends to note, Houston are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Texas, and are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games on the road, lastly they're 7-1 SU in their last 8 games when playing on the road against Texas.

White Sox ML Probable Pitchers: DET - T. Skubal-L vs CWS - M. Kopech-R On Sunday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Detroit Tigers (62-74, 33-34 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Chicago White Sox (53-83, 28-39 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Tarik Skubal (3-3, 3.93 ERA, 59 SO) taking on Michael Kopech. (5-12, 5.08 ERA, 127 SO) We're on the White Sox ML here on Sunday. Chicago sends out Michael Kopech, who has been a rollercoaster this season. He's had some lows, but also has mixed in some highs. He's the kind of pitcher that can have his fastball working and shut down the opposition. He allowed 4 runs last time out, but this is a very inconsistent Tigers lineup that will struggle with this velocity. On the flip side, the Tigers go with Skubal. He has struggled mightily against the White Sox in his career. Coming into play, he owns an ERA of well over 6 against them and his struggles will carry over into Sunday against them. With Detroit just not being able to build winning streaks this year, the Sox should be able to figure them out on Sunday. The White Sox have gone 3-2 vs. the Tigers across the last five head-to-head matchups. Back the White Sox on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* MLB ML Play |

On the bumps we get Coe Irvin (1-3, 4.78 ERA, 58 SO) taking on Zach Davies. (1-5, 6.93 ERA, 51 SO) Baltimore has value at this kind of price. The O's come in 41-24 on the road this season, as they have had no issues when playing away from Baltimore. We've seen the Dbacks taper off in the 2nd half as well, as they sit just 3 games over .500 at home. Irvin gets the ball for the O's, coming in with an ERA of just 2.81 over his last 3 starts. He's been a consistent, solid pitcher in this rotation as he is always giving Baltimore chances to win when he's on the hill. Countering him is Davies. The RH is just 1-5 on the year and his been roughed up a few times. This is not the kind of offense he will like to see, as they make opposing pitchers work. Some trends to note, the O's are 9-3 SU in their last 12 games, and are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games against an opponent in the NL. Also, they've have hit the ML in 9 of their last 12 games (+3.80 Units / 16% ROI) Back the O's on the ML. Arizona are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

On the bumps we get Brandon Woodruff (3-1, 2.65 ERA, 41 SO) taking on Kyle Hendricks. (5-7, 3.80 ERA, 68 SO) The Brewers have value here at this price. Woodruff is healthy again and he comes in with some momentum. He threw 6.0 innings against the Padres last time out, allowing just 1 run in the process. He’s pitching at a high level and it comes at the right time. Milwaukee has been surging and offensively they’re getting contributions top to bottom in the lineup. They’ve won 9 of their last 10 and should find a lot of success against Hendricks. They’re very familiar with him and have faced him plenty of times. Look for Milwaukee to get out to an early lead and allow Woodruff to settle in. Some trends to note, Milwaukee are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games against an opponent in the NL Central, and are 6-4 straight-up in their last ten games on the road. Plus, the Brewers have hit the ML in 9 of their last 10 games (+9.00 Units / 81% ROI). On the other side the Cubs have only hit the ML in 16 of their last 31 games at home.

On the bumps we get Michael King (3-5, 3.13 ERA, 82 SO) taking on Tarik Skubal. (3-2, 4.06 ERA, 50 SO) We’re on the Yankees ML here, at this kind of price. New York defeated the Tigers in the series opener on Monday and now send out Michael King, who has been a key reliever for this pen. He’s turned to be an opener, giving the Yankees options out of the pen when the game goes on. He comes in after allowing just 1 hit in 2.2 innings last time out against the Nats. He owns a 3.13 ERA overall and has 82 K’s to just 25 BB. He’s countered by Skubal, who allowed 4 runs last time out. He’s been hit a few times and the Yankees have consistently dominated this head to head series with the Tigers. Some trends to note, the Yankees are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against Detroit, and have hit the 1st Five Innings (F5) ML in 5 of their last 6 games (+4.13 Units / 56% ROI).

On the bumps we get Lucas Giolito (7-10, 4.32 ERA, 159 SO) taking on Taijuan Walker. (13-5, 4.02 ERA, 113 SO) The Phillies have value at this price. Philadelphia is clicking all over offensively. Trea Turner and Bryce Harper are leading a solid charge and now they head into this one on a roll. They take on the Angels who are struggling themselves. They went all in at the deadline and it just hasn’t worked out as they are all but eliminated. Combine that with Ohtani not pitching anymore and now this Angels side has just looked foolish almost. Walker comes in with 13 wins and consistently is working deep into games for Phili. Look for him to set the tone in this one and step up. Some trends to note, Philadelphia are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games, and are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home. Plus, the Phillies have hit the ML in 8 of their last 11 games at home (+4.50 Units / 26% ROI).

On the bumps we get Michael Wacha (10-2, 2.63 ERA, 85 SO) taking on Adrian Houser. (5-4, 4.28 ERA, 75 SO) We’re on the Brewers ML here. They’re surging right now and his is a team playing some extreme confidence. Winners of 7 straight, they’re put themselves in a playoff position and now look to take down Michael Wacha here. The RH has been stellar for San Diego this season, but takes on a lineup that is red hot right now. They’re making opposing pitchers work and really racking up pitch counts. Houser counters and he allowed just 1 run against a very good Texas lineup last time out. Look for him to build off that momentum and keep things rolling into Sunday. Some trends to note, San Diego are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games against an opponent in the NL, 1-5 SU in their last 6 games against Milwaukee, and are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

On the bumps we get Hunter Brown (9-9, 4.50 ERA, 143 SO) taking on Eduardo Rodriguez. (9-6, 3.03 ERA, 115 SO) This is a bounce back spot for the Astros. After leading 1-0 throughout the entire game, Detroit rattled off for unanswered, which included a walk off home run. It’s rare to see Houston lose games in bunches, and they have a ton of value at this price. Detroit does send out their ace here, but Rodriguez hasn’t been that perfect outside of facing the AL Central this Houston offense or typically bounces back after poor performances. Expect them to make Rodriguez work and also rack his pitch count up early. This is the kind of game where Houston gets out of the gates early and puts up some early run support. Some trends to note, Houston are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games against Detroit, and are 11-3 SU in their last 14 games when playing on the road against Detroit. Plus, the Astros have hit the ML in 37 of their last 62 away games (+8.50 Units / 10% ROI) Back the Astros on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

Dodgers ML Probable Pitchers: LAD - L. Lynn-R vs BOS - K. Crawford-R On Friday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the LA Dodgers (78-48, 35-27 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Boston Red Sox (68-60, 19-14 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Lance Lynn (9-9, 5.60 ERA, 169 SO) taking on Kutter Crawford. (6-6 3.80 ERA) The Dodgers have value here on the ML. Los Angeles has been one of the hottest teams in baseball, with just 3 losses in the month of August. They come in off a doubleheader sweep of the Guardians yesterday as well. Lance Lynn has been exceptional since being acquired. The RH is 3-0 with the Dodgers and has given them plenty of length when he takes the hill. He’ll see a Boston side that scored double digits last night against Houston. We’ve seen them struggle with consistency and that should be the case here offensively. The Dodgers just have far too much power for them in this spot. Some trends to note, LA are 15-2 SU in their last 17 games, and are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road. the Dodgers have hit the ML in 12 of their last 14 games (+8.65 Units / 28% ROI).

Yankees ML Probable Pitchers: WAS - M. Gore-L vs NYY - L. Severino-R On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Washington Nationals (58-68, 29-32 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the NY Yankees (60-65, 35-32 at home, and 1-9 L10). On the bumps we get MacKenzie Gore (6-9, 4.38 ERA, 141 SO) taking on Luis Severino. (2-8, 7.98 ERA, 61 SO) New York has value here. This is a low price on New York and even given their struggles, they’re going to be valuable in this spot. The Yankees offense still has the capabilities to put up big numbers and Severino has shown some signs of brilliance at times here. He does come in 2-8, but he’s battled at times. This Washington offense is very sub par and they tend to swing and miss a lot. This is the perfect game for Severino to get himself back on track here. He should get plenty of offensive support as Gore has struggled mightily for the Nats. This will be the first time he’s seeing the Yanks in his career. Some trends to note, the Yankees have gone 3-2 vs. the Nationals across the last five head-to-head matchups. Washington are 4-12 SU in their last 16 games against an opponent in the American League East division. Back the Yanks on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

He last took the hill on 7/31, going 7.0 innings against New York allowing 1 run. Tampa Bay has momentum as well after taking 2 of 3 against Cleveland.

Still, this team has been on fire and they come in with a ton of momentum. Gray gets the ball and he is a solid 4-2 on the road with a very modest ERA of under 4. The RH has continued to give Texas chances to win as he's had a lot of help from the offense as well. Texas can score in bunches and they should be able to get to Alexander here. Some trends to note.

On the bumps we get Kyle Hendricks (4-6 4.09 ERA, 51 SO) taking on David Peterson (3-7, 5.65 ERA, 69 SO) We're on the Cubs here, at this kind of price. Chicago and New York split the first two games of this series and we're taking the better side here. Chicago is playing with a lot of confidence right now and they send out Kyle Hendricks, who is much better than what his record indicates. He's continued to log quality starts and has put together some really nice outings. Peterson has been a struggle on his end and typically will only go a few innings as an opener. Back Chicago.

The Cubs have been one of the hottest teams In baseball, but they are just different on the road. They come in .500 away from home and they have had issues at times. This Mets side has been abysmal all season long, but they still are looking to take some momentum into the final piece of the season. They still have a good offensive core that can get to Taillon here. Some trends to note. The Mets have been favored 70 times and won 39 of those games.

Cleveland took the series opener 4-2 as they are trying to get their momentum back after the tough week on and off the field. They got a great start from Logan Allen and got just enough offense as Andres Giminez put a go ahead 2 run homer on the board.

On the bumps we get Dylan Cease (4-4, 4.15 ERA, 143 SO) taking on Dane Dunning. (8-4, 3.28 ERA, 68 SO) We’re on Texas here. The Rangers made their splash as they acquired some huge pieces to move forward at the deadline. They have a ton of value here against a depleted White Sox team. Dylan Cease is one of very few guys who were traded at the deadline for the Sox, as they shipped away as many pieces as possible. Cease has been struggled at times and this is not the lineup you want to see right now. Texas sits near or at the top in many categories and they’ve been on fire as of late. Dunning counters and he’s been a nice surprise so far. 8 wins and era under 4, the RH is putting together a nice season. He’s been consistent and has been one who can give this rotation some length. Some trends to note, the White Sox are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games, are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games against Texas, and are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

On the bumps we get Kutter Crawford (5-5, 3.86 ERA, 76 SO) taking on Logan Gilbert. (9-5, 3.83 ERA, 121 SO) We’re on the Mariners ML here. Seattle and Boston both continue their pursuit of the Wild Card as they play in the rubber match here. Seattle goes with Logan Gilbert, the RH who has been a huge piece to this rotation’s success. He comes in with 9 wins and an ERA under 4, as it seems like he’s given the M’s a chance to win every time he takes the mound. Last time out he allowed just two runs in 6.1 innings of work against a very good dbacks lineup. Boston counters with Kutter Crawford, who is a very hittable pitcher. He pitches to contact and this Mariners lineup has some pop that can cause him some issues. Some trends to note, Seattle are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games, and are 10-5 SU in their last 15 games played in August. Plus, the Mariners have hit the ML in 17 of their last 27 games (+4.35 Units / 13% ROI). Boston are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games on the road. Back the M's on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

On the bumps we get Zach Gallen (11-5, 3.36 ERA, 143 SO) taking on Alex Cobb. (6-3, 2.97 ERA, 100 SO) We’re on the Giants here. San Francisco and Arizona both have made some acquisitions, as they await the new arrivals. Alex Cobb will toe the rubber here for the Giants and he has been a huge part of the success here in 2023. The RH owns an era under 3 and has put together some incredible outings. He shut down Oakland with 6 scoreless last time and has stepped up against much better competition as well. There is value here at this price. San Fran plays much better at home and they can lean on Cobb here. Look for them to give him some run support and for him to produce a lot of swings and misses. Some trends to note, Arizona are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games, and are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games on the road.

On the bumps we get Kyle Gibson (9-6, 4.68 ERA, 103 SO) taking on Chris Bassitt. (10-5, 3.91 ERA, 118 SO) Gibson did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits over 6 innings against the Phillies. He struck out 5. Against the Dodgers on Tuesday, Bassitt displayed his prowess on the mound, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks, all while striking out an impressive 6 batters during his commanding 5-inning performance.

On the bumps we get Luis Castillo (6-7, 3.02 ERA, 142 SO) taking on Merrill Kelly. (9-4, 3.12 ERA, 103 SO) Castillo is due. Plain and simple. He's due. The 3-time all star hasn't won a game in his last three starts but I'd argue it'd be tough to find a better pitcher in the Majors over those same 3 games. All his starts have been quality starts. Last game out Castillo allowed 2 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks while striking out 9 batters over 7 innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Monday. He now has a 1.04 WHIP and 142:32 K:BB over 125.1 innings.

07-29-23 | Angels v. Blue Jays -119 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
Blue Jays ML Probable Pitchers: LAA - R. Detmers-L vs TOR - A. Manoah-R On Saturday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the LA Angels (54-50, 25-27 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Toronto Blue Jays (58-46, 28-20 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Reid Detmers (2-7, 4.38 ERA, 122 SO) taking on Alek Manoah. (2-8, 6.10 ERA, 62 SO) We’re on Toronto money line here on Saturday afternoon across the border. Toronto‘s offense did all the work they needed to on Friday night as they took a series opener from Los Angeles. Now they’ll send out their veteran pitcher, who is looking to return to his old form. Manoah has rebounded well, compared to what he was doing, following the demotion. The RH, who was once a dominant starter, has the stuff to get back there. He comes in after throwing 5.1 innings and faces an inconsistent Angels lineup. We’re backing Manoah to return to his old form and really shut down Los Angeles in this spot. Aside from Ohtani, nobody in this lineup has found any sort of consistency as of late. Some trends to note, the Angels are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games on the road. Toronto are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games, and they're 5-2 SU in their last 7 games at home. The Jays have hit the 1st Five Innings ML in 9 of their last 13 games (+7.20 Units / 44% ROI), they get out to fast starts, and that will continue today. Back the Jays on the ML.

Cardinals ML CHC - J. Steele-L vs STL - M. Mikolas-R On Thursday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Chicago Cubs (50-51, 23-25 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the St. Louis Cardinals (46-57, 22-26 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Justin Steele (10-3, 2.95 ERA, 96 SO) taking on Miles Mikolas. (6-5, 4.33 ERA, 86 SO) We’re on the Cards ML here as they have value at home. Chicago came out of the all star break with a 10 game homerstand and now they’re heading out for a long road trip. This stretch is going to be tough for them and dealing with Mikolas Thursday will be a huge challenge. The RH has pitched extremely well after his tough start to the season. He comes in just having faced the Cubs as well. Typically, success follows after just facing an offense, as he knows this lineup. The Cards do play much better at home versus on the road and this is a case where the Cubs will start to fade as a whole. Some trends to note, the Cardinals have hit the ML in 10 of their last 15 games (+4.40 Units / 23% ROI), they're also 10-5 SU in their last 15 games, and 5-0 SU in their last 5 games at home. On the other side the Cubs are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games when playing on the road against St. Louis. Back the Cards on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* MLB ML Play |

Cubs ML Probable Pitchers: CHC - M. Stroman-R vs CWS - L. Lynn-R On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague & crosstown betting matchup between the Chicago Cubs (49-51, 22-25 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Chicago White Sox (41-61, 21-26 at home, and 2-8 L10). On the bumps we get Marcus Stroman (10-7, 3.09 ERA, 105 SO) taking on Lance Lynn. (6-9, 6.18 ERA, 139 SO) Chicago's two team battle here and we're on the Cubs Wednesday. The Cubs send out Marcus Stroman, who has been one of the top name thrown around at this deadline. Stroman has 10 wins and a solid ERA of 3.07 as he continues to put up great stats. This White Sox lineup is a mess and team wise they're going to be hardcore sellers. Sitting 5 games under .500 at home, they send out Lance Lynn. Lynn has been a struggle himself, boasting an ERA of just 6.18. The Cubs are trending in the right direction, while the White Sox are going the other way. Look for Stroman to set the tone early here. Some trends to note, the Cubs have hit the ML in 23 of their last 38 games (+6.95 Units / 15% ROI), also the Cubs are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games. On the other side the White Sox are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games. Back the Cubs on the ML, and 1-4 SU in their last 5 games at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* FREE MLB ML Play |

Diamondbacks ML Probable Pitchers: STL - J. Flaherty-R vs ARI - Z. Gallen-R On Wednesday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals (45-57, 23-31 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (55-47, 27-25 at home, and 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Jack Flaherty (7-6, 4.39 ERA, 102 SO) taking on Zac Gallen. (11-4, 3.18 ERA, 135 SO) This is a great line on Arizona. The Dbacks take on a Cards team that has zero consistency. They have struggled in every facet this season and are expected to sell off some big pieces here soon. Gallen has been an ace and he's a huge reason why this Dbacks side has had so much success. We're getting one of the best pitchers at home as well in this spot. The Cards offense hasn't had much when it comes to timely hitting either. Scoring chances will be at a premium against Gallen in this spot. Some trends to note, the Diamondbacks have hit the ML in 55 of their last 101 games (+10.40 Units / 8% ROI), St. Louis are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games on the road, and are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

Kopech-R On Tuesday we have a nice Interleague & crosstown betting matchup between the Chicago Cubs (48-51, 21-25 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Chicago White Sox (41-60, 21-25 at home, and 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Kyle Hendricks (3-4, 3.38 ERA, 42 SO) taking on Michael Kopech. (4-8, 4.29 ERA, 102 SO) The Cubs are playing much better overall here and have the value. Chicago has won 3 in a row as they capped their 10 game home stand in a big way. While it’s a long shot, they sit 6.5 games behind the Brewers in the divisional race. Kyle Hendricks gets the ball, who owns a 3.38 ERA thus far. He’s been consistent for the most part in this rotation and comes in after allowing just 1 ER against the Nats. He should have a lot of success in this spot against the Sox, as this lineup has struggled. Kopech counters and he’s had a ton of command issues. The RH walks a lot of hitters and his pitch count typically racks up early. Some trends to note, the Cubs have hit the ML in 22 of their last 37 games (+5.95 Units / 13% ROI), also the Cubs are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games. On the other side the White Sox are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games, and as the underdog, they are 0-3 in their L3. Back the Cubs on the ML. They're 6-4 straight-up in their L10 games on the road.

Grove-R On Monday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays (55-45, 28-25 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the LA Dodgers (57-41, 29-16 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Jose Berrios (8-7, 3.39 ERA, 114 SO) taking on Michael Grove. (2-2, 6.40 ERA, 47 SO) The Dodgers have value at this price. Los Angeles sits 13 games over .500 as it's been tough sledding for road teams in this ballpark. Jose Berrios has been a rollercoaster himself too. The RH has looked good at times, but also has struggled with his command at other times. This is not a lineup that you can mess around with. They wear opposing pitchers out and will make Berrios work early. The Dodgers should find a lot of success and rack up the pitch count of Berrios. Look for a lot of traffic on the bases in this one. Some trends to note, the Jays are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games against LA Dodgers. the Dodgers have hit the ML in 10 of their last 13 games (+6.60 Units / 37% ROI), plus they're 10-3 SU in their last 13 games, and 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home, lastly they're 7-3 SU in their last 10 games played in July.

Gilbert-R On Saturday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays (54-43, 27-23 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Seattle Mariners (48-48, 27-24 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Kevin Gausman (7-5, 3.03 ERA, 153 SO) taking on Logan Gilbert. (8-5, 3.65 ERA, 111 SO) We cashed on the M's on TGIF. What a game that was last night. I told you this series would be great. A legion of West Coast Jays fans were in T-Mobile last night and watched as former Jays OF Teoscar Hernandez walked it off for the M's. We're going to go back with M's on Saturday and will back Logan Gilbert in this spot. He has been a machine of late winning his L3 outings and sporting a 0.76 WHIP and 1.29 ERA during that span. Last game out Gilbert (8-5) allowed 2 runs on 7 hits and a walk while striking out 5 over 5 innings to earn the win in Monday's 7-6 W over Minni. For the Jays Gausman has been out a couple weeks, last game out (July 9) he took an L, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks over 6 vs. DET. Some trends to note, the Jays are 2-9 SU in their last 11 games against Seattle, and are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Seattle. Seattle are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games. I'm on the M's ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

Mariners ML Probable Pitchers: TOR - Y. Kikuchi-L vs SEA - B. Miller-R On Friday we have a nice AL betting matchup between two AL Wildcard teams from last year the Toronto Blue Jays (54-33, 27-23 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Seattle Mariners (48-48, 27-24 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get former M's pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (7-3, 4.13 ERA, 100 SO) taking on Bryce Miller. (6-3, 3.66 ERA, 58 SO) The M's evened up their series with the Twins on Thursday behind a STRONG outing from All-Star George Kirby. He chucked 10 K's over 7 in a 5-0 M's win. The Mariners are rallying behind their injured OF Kelenic, who injured himself kicking a gatorade bucket. Whatever it takes right? We know the ballpark in Seattle in this 3-game series will be full of Blue Jays fans, but if any M's pitcher can handle this environment it's going to be Bryce Miller. Miller (6-3) allowed 5 hits and 1 walk over 5 scoreless innings Sunday, striking out 3 and earning a win over the Tigers. The Blue Jays are unfamiliar with Miller, this is the first time they'll be seeing him, and don't have the advantage of having live game action against him. They won't have first-hand knowledge of his pitches, and I think this will give the rookie an advantage. Some trends to note, Miller has allowed 3 or fewer runs in 10 of his first 12 career MLB starts. Toronto are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games against Seattle, and are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games when playing on the road against Seattle. The Mariners are 6-4 over their last ten home games (straight-up). Back the Mariners on the ML in G1 of this series at T-Mobile. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* MLB ML Play |

Peralta-R On Friday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Atlanta Braves (62-33, 30-14 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Milwaukee Brewers (54-43, 26-21 at home, and 8-2 L10). On the bumps we get Michael Soroka (1-1, 5.40 ERA, 19 SO) taking on Freddy Peralta. (6-7, 4.41 ERA, 113 SO) Getting Atlanta at this kind of price is always going to be valuable. The Braves come in with the best road record in the entire MLB, sitting 16 games over and send out a veteran RH here to take the hill. Atlanta has been the best offense in the entire MLB, just crushing opposing pitching. They lead the league in the long ball as well, as they’re able to turn a game very quickly one way or another. Freddy Peralta does come in off a good start, but prior to that he failed to make it out of the 6th inning in 3 straight starts while allowing 3 runs in each of those. Atlanta should have plenty of run scoring chances here, putting the pressure on early. Some trends to note, The Braves have hit the ML in 29 of their last 38 games (+11.00 Units / 15% ROI), plus Atlanta are 10-3 SU in their last 13 games on the road, and are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games against Milwaukee, lastly the Braves head into the game having gone 7-3 straight-up in their last 10 on the road.

Bassitt-R On Thursday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the San Diego Padres (46-50, 21-27 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Toronto Blue Jays (53-43, 26-20 at home, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Blake Snell (6-7, 2.71 ERA, 139 SO) taking on Chris Bassitt. (9-5, 4.12 ERA, 107 SO) We're on the Jays here, at plus money. Toronto sits 6 games over the .500 mark at home, while San Diego is 6 games under on the road. Bassitt comes in with 9 wins as he continues to get a lot of support when he takes the mound. This Jays offense is starting to find their stride again and with as deep of a lineup as they have, once they get going, look out. Blake Snell has an ERA of just 2.71, but has been on the opposite spectrum of the run support side. He comes in under .500 and the Padres are just far too inconsistent to trust. Given their struggles on the road, combined with their inconsistency on the offensive side, this is a nice spot to fade them. Expect Toronto to get out of the gates early and get Snell out of the stretch. Some trends to note, the Jays have hit the ML in 8 of their last 11 games (+3.50 Units / 23% ROI), Bassitt has held opponents without an earned run in 6 of his 20 outings in 2023, the Blue Jays are 7-3 over their last ten home games (straight-up), and the Jays are 15-5 SU in their last 20 games against an opponent in the NL.

Abbott-L On Thursday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the San Francisco Giants (54-42, 28-20 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Cincinnati Reds (51-46, 24-26 at home, and 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Alex Cobb (6-2, 2.82 ERA, 91 SO) taking on Andrew Abbott. (4-2, 2.45 ERA, 51 SO) Cincinnati and San Francisco wrap up their weekday set and we're on the Reds here. The Reds got back in the win column as they look to grab more momentum heading into this weekend. They send out their most reliable pitcher here in Abbott too. The LH allowed just two runs in 6.0 innings of work last time out against Milwaukee and overall he's been this rotation's most reliable arm. They take on Alex Cobb, who has returned to his old form from years ago. Still, the Giants are very familiar with him and should be able to put some good at bats together. If they can get his pitch count up early, they'll be in store for a good day with run scoring opportunities. Some trends to note, the Reds have hit the ML in 30 of their last 47 games (+17.80 Units / 34% ROI), the Reds are 7-3 over their last ten home games (straight-up), also while it's true the Reds have lost 6 of the past 7 games, they've only lost in 4 of those games by a single run.

On the bumps we get Aaron Civale (3-2, 2.65 ERA, 46 SO) taking on Rich Hill (7-9, 4.76 ERA, 93 SO) The Guardians go for the sweep here and we're on them Wednesday afternoon. Cleveland has throttled Pittsburgh through the first two games, 11-0 and 10-1, as they have used the long ball. Josh Naylor hit two homers and Josh Bell added one of his own as Cleveland blitzed the Pirates early. Aaron Civale gets the ball for the Guards as he has come up big since his return from the IL. He allowed just 2 runs last time out and continues to put up solid outings. Some trends to note. Cleveland is 142-121 against the money line in all games over the last 2 seasons. The Guardians are 69-63 against the money line in road games over the last 2 seasons. Aaron Civale is 18-10 against the money line in road games over the last 2 seasons. Back Cleveland.

Seattle -114 Probable Pitchers: MIN - B. Ober-R vs SEA - B. Woo-R Seattle has the value here at this kind of price. The Mariners and Twins continue to flirt around the .500 mark as this season goes on. Seattle isn't going to be shy at this deadline it seems either. They have made a point to say they are going to make some moves and it's given a lot of encouragement to the clubhouse and these fans. Woo gets the ball and he has not allowed more than 3 runs in his last 6 starts. He pitched extremely well against Houston last time out, allowing just 1 run in 6.0 innings of work. Ober counters and he has been equally good. This Seattle lineup does have some pop and will make opposing pitchers work, which they should do here against the RH. Back Seattle. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Mets (43-50, 21-21 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Lucas Giolito (6-5, 3.45 ERA, 117 SO) taking on Carlos Carrasco. (3-3, 5.16 ERA, 43 SO) Giolito pitched 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits and 3 walks with 5 strikeouts against the Cardinals on Sunday. Carrasco (3-3) earned a win on Thursday over the Diamondbacks, pitching 8 shutout innings with 3 hits, 1 walk, and 4 strikeouts. He holds a 5.16 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 43:27 K:BB ratio across 61 innings in 12 starts this year. Some trends to note, the White Sox are 13-25 against the money line after a win this season, and Giolito is 20-29 against the money line in all games over the last 2 seasons, plus the White Sox are 4-8 SU in their L12 games. On the other side the Mets are 15-4 SU in their last 19 games against an opponent in the AL Central division. For the Mets when the line is -104 -> -134 this year the Mets are 16-8 in their L24. Carrasco will do just enough to hold the White Sox hitters at bay. We're on the Mets on Tuesday to win this one at home. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* MLB ML Play |

Cleveland +101 Probable Pitchers: CLE - L. Allen-L vs PIT - M. Keller-R Cleveland and Pittsburgh continue their series and we're on the Guardians here, at plus money. Cleveland erupted for 11 runs in the series opener as they know they need to erase the bad taste from Texas this past weekend. The Guardians send out Logan Allen, who was recalled from the minors. Allen pitched well before being sent back to Triple A, to get more work in as Cleveland has leaned on their rookies to bolster this rotation. Allen does throw a lot of pitches and focused on limiting his pitch count. Mitch Keller and Cleveland know each other well. Keller was part of the Royals organization for a while and saw plenty of Cleveland. The Guardians lineup is back to playing with some confidence and should be be able to produce here. Some trends to note. The Pittsburgh Pirates have only hit the Moneyline in 21 of their last 66 games. The Cleveland Guardians have hit the Moneyline in 24 of their last 43 games. The Pittsburgh Pirates have only covered the Run Line in 24 of their last 66 games Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play |

Houston has value at this price, as they are very familiar with Ohtani. The RH was also knocked around in his most recent outing against the Padres, where he allowed 5 runs in just 5.0 innings of work. It has to be tough for Ohtani everytime he takes the hill not knowing his future. This deep Astros lineup can get to him early and knock his focus in this one. Some trends to note.

Musgrove-R On Sunday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the NY Mets (42-47, 22-28 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the San Diego Padres (42-47, 24-23 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Max Scherzer (8-2, 4.03 ERA, 94 SO) taking on Joe Musgrove. (7-2, 3.56 ERA, 72 SO) The Padres won yesterday 3-1. Blake Snell allowed only 1 hit and struck out 11 in six shutout innings. The Friars will look to carry over that momentum into Sunday night. The Padres on Sunday night roll out one of the hottest pitchers in the Bigs in Joe Musgrove. He is 6-0 with a 2.01 ERA in his last 8 starts. He's sporting a 1.01 WHIP and 47:8 K:BB across 49.1 innings over the L8 too. Scherzer has been his usual self this year, to the tune of 6-0 with a 3.45 ERA, over his L10 starts. Last game out though he wasn't up to snuff. He allowed 4 runs on 5 hits in 6 innings Tuesday vs. the DBacks. It's possible that Soto's comments earlier in the week have motivated the Padres, and I think they'll get to Scherzer on Sunday. At the end of the day the Padres have a nice offensive lineup that can and will do damage. Some trends to note, Mets are 2-7 in their last 9 during game 3 of a series, and are 1-5 in their last 6 Sunday games. On the other side the Padres are 4-1 in their last 5 overall, are 4-1 in their last 5 home games, and are 7-2 in their last 9 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Back the Padres on the ML.

On the bumps we get Rookie Bryan Woo (1-1, 4.08 ERA, 39 SO) taking on Framber Valdez. (7-6, 2.49 ERA, 110 SO) Framber Valdez has the value here at this kind of price. He's been on the unfortunate end of some low run support, but he still has been a nice piece to this rotation. He comes in with one of the best ERAs in the league at 2.49 and that ERA even goes lower at home where he sits with a 2.05 ERA. The Astros should find a lot of success against Woo here too. He's been very hittable overall and comes in just 1-1 with a 5.00 ERA on the road. With Seattle sitting 3 games under the .500 mark away from home, this is a great situational spot on the Astros here. Houston has been a good home team for the most part and they should give Valdez some early support. Some trends to note, the Mariners are 8-22 in their last 30 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and they're 3-8 in their last 11 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game. On the other side the Astros are 12-2 in their last 14 games after losing the first 2 games of a series, are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record, and they're 37-16 in the L53 matchups between these 2 clubs in Houston. Back the Stros on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

Phillies ML Probable Pitchers: PHI - R. Suarez-L vs MIA - B. Garrett-L On Saturday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (48-39, 26-23 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Miami Marlins (51-39, 28-18 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Ranger Suarez (2-3, 3.67 ERA, 55 SO) taking on Braxton Garrett. (4-2, 3.61 ERA, 98 SO) We're on the Phillies here in this one. Philadelphia has been playing exceptionally well and grabbing them at this price is worth the move. They have dominated road situations as of late and they continue to put together solid outings. Ranger Suarez allowed just 1 run combined over his last two road starts, as he's been pitching exceptionally well away from home. The offense is clicking on all cylinders right now and this is a game where they have the edge in every which way. Garrett isn't overpowering and this Phili lineup will have a ton of success in this spot. Some trends to note, the Phillies are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record, are 15-1 in their last 16 road games, and they're 11-1 in their last 12 games vs. a left-handed starter. On the other side the Marlins are 1-6 in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning record, and are 0-4 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record. Back the Phils on the ML.

Reds ML CIN - A. Abbott-L vs MIL - C. Burnes-R On Friday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Cincinnati Reds (49-39, 26-18 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Milwaukee Brewers (47-41, 24-20 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Andrew Abbott (4-0, 1.21 ERA, 42 SO) taking on Corbin Burnes. (6-5, 4.00 ERA, 96 SO) Cincinnati and Milwaukee begin a battle for first place series here in the NL Central. We're on the Reds as right now, this team has everything going for them. Andrew Abbott takes the hill with a perfect 4-0 record and an ERA at just 1.21. The LH has been stellar in every which way, not allowing much of anything when it comes to opponents scoring chances. Countering him is Corbin Burnes, who has certainly been hittable as of late. He owns a 4.00 ERA and just hasn't been as sharp as he's been in past seasons. The RH bounced back last time out against Pittsburgh, but prior to that he allowed 11 runs combined in 2 outings against Cleveland and Arizona. Cincinnati has the energy right now and they know they can compete with anyone. Some trends to note, the Reds are 6-1 in their last 7 during game 1 of a series, 18-3 in their last 21 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 23-4 in their last 27 games following a win, they're also 23-6 in their L29. The Brewers are 2-5 in their last 7 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and are 6-13 in their last 19 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Back the Reds on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Braves ML Probable Pitchers: ATL - C. Morton-R vs TAM - T. Glasnow-R On Friday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Atlanta Braves (58-28, 28-13 on the road, and 9-1 L10) and the Tampa Bay Rays (57-33, 34-13 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Charlie Morton (8-6, 3.57 ERA, 105 SO) taking on Tyler Glasnow. (2-2, 4.50 ERA, 56 SO) Atlanta has value here as Tampa Bay is seeing their first regression of the season. The Rays were swept away by Phili this week as they struggled in many ways. Now, they take on a red hot Atlanta team, who took 2 of 3 against Cleveland. The Braves send out Morton, who threw 5.2 shutout innings against the Marlins last time out. He continues to turn in a solid season as any pitcher would love to throw with this offense behind him. Glasnow has been hit or miss since returning from the IL. He hasn't been as sharp as he'd like to and this Braves offense can really make pitchers work. Some trends to note, the Braves are 10-1 in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning record, are 7-1 in their last 8 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 8-2 in their last 10 road games. On the other side the Rays are 0-4 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 0-5 in their last 5 overall. Back the Braves on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

Phillies ML Probable Pitchers: PHI - Z. Wheeler-R vs MIA - S. Alcantara-R On Friday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (47-39, 25-23 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Miami Marlins (51-38, 28-17 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Zack Wheeler (7-4, 4.03 ERA, 112 SO) taking on Sandy Alcantara. (3-7, 4.93 ERA, 89 SO) Philadelphia comes in with all the confidence right now. The Phils swept the Rays in a marquee matchup this week, dominating in almost every which way. Now, they turn their attention to the Marlins, who come in off a loss to the Cardinals on Thursday. the Marlins aren't going to overpower anyone. That is where the Phillies can take advantage here. The Phillies tend to score in bunches and can really put up runs quickly. This offense is clicking on all cylinders and Alcantara just hasn't been the same pitcher he once was. His struggles stem from his changeup and he's had a lot of command issues. Philadelphia should put a lot of traffic on the bases here. Some trends to note, the Phillies are 6-0 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning record, are 10-1 in their last 11 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and they're 14-2 in their last 16 road games. On the other side the Marlins are 1-5 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning record, and are 5-11 in the L16 vs. Phili. Back the Phils on the ML, they're 5-1 in the L6 vs. MIA.

On the bumps we get Taijuan Walker (9-3, 3.93 ERA, 77 SO) taking on Zack Littell. (0-0, 10.13 ERA, 5 SO) The Rays have value here at this price. They sit with one of the best home records in the league and they have rarely allowed losses to pile up here. They typically have bounced back with their ability to get timely hits. The Rays are one of the best clutch teams in the MLB and they've continued to come with big hits. Some trends to note. Rays are 6-0 in their last 6 Wednesday games. Rays are 41-15 in their last 56 vs. National League East. Rays are 52-19 in their last 71 home games. Back Tampa Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

Davies-R On July 4th we have a nice NL betting matchup between the NY Mets (38-46, 18-27 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (37-46, 18-21 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Max Scherzer (7-2, 3.87 ERA, 85 SO) taking on Zach Davies. (1-4, 6.54 ERA, 33 SO) Zach Davies has been an ultimate fade this year. The RH comes in just 1-4 with a near 7 ERA entering Tuesday's game. Over his last 3 starts, he sits 0-2 with an ERA of 8.59. He's struggled with his command and is constantly dealing with traffic on the bases. Scherzer allowed 2 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks while striking out 9 batters over 6 innings vs. Milwaukee Thursday. He's a late starter add for July 4th. Senga was initially in the order. Senga will now start tomorrow. Some trends to note, the Diamondbacks are 5-2 in their last 7 games following a loss, are 3-7 in their last 10 home games vs. a right-handed starter, and finally, they're 1-4 in their last 5 home games with the total set at 9-10.5.

07-03-23 | Reds -121 v. Nationals | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
Reds -121 Probable Pitchers: CIN - L. Weaver-R vs WAS - J. Irvin-R Did you know the Reds have won Luke Weavers L5 starts? We're banking on another one on Monday. Last game out Weaver did not factor into the decision allowing 4 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks over 4.1 innings in an 11-7 W vs. the O's. He struck out 2 as well in that one. For the Nats Irvin has been nothing special in 2023. He allowed 3 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4 over 5.2 innings to take a no-decision last game out.
