The Rockies have done a great job of overcoming their horrendous start and getting themselves back into the thick of things in the National League. Entering Tuesday’s games, they have won eight in a row, but they couldn’t make it nine for what would have been the first time in their history. So now they’re trying to start a new streak in Chicago vs. the Cubs. DJ has today’s free MLB pick.

The Yankees’ performance with a patchwork lineup has been nothing short of impressive, as New York has managed to win 30 of its past 40 games despite several of its top players being down with injuries. Now they’re starting to get healthier. Should we jump on the Yanks Train and pay -192 to back NY or is there value in the underdog Jays? DJ breaks down this matchup and makes his MLB pick.

The Yankees increased their series winning streak to nine with yesterday’s victory over the Red Sox and will now look for the sweep tonight.

The Diamondbacks will look to put an end to a five-game losing streak when they host the Mets in the second of a three-game set at Chase Field.

The Cards took the series opener in a pitching duel 2-1 and we could see more of the same in tonight’s game with Jose Quintana and Jack Flaherty as the starters. The home team has taken all four meetings this season with the Chicago sweeping St. Louis at home in early May. Our handicapper breaks it down and gives out his suggested bet.

Has there been a pitcher who’s been more unlucky than Chris Sale this season? At this point, the Red Sox starter has to be wondering what in the world he has to do in order to get a win. In his past seven starts, he’s allowed no more than five hits, and he only did that one time. Does he finally get the W as a +108 underdog tonight? DJ has your MLB pick.

What do you do when the defense behind you has the lowest fielding percentage in the National League? Not give them the chance to screw things up. That’s been the formula that Kyle Hendricks has followed in his past four starts, as he’s managed at least seven strikeouts in three of them. His success was not enough for the bookmakers to crown Chicago the favorites. Should they be? DJ has your MLB pick.

Max Fried has been outstanding at SunTrust Park this season. In five home starts this season, the left-hander is 3-1 and has conceded just seven runs in 30.1 innings. In two of his starts, he didn’t allow a single run, and in a third outing, he held the Padres scoreless aside from one single home run. Fried has also been remarkably consistent at staying in the game, as he’s made it into the sixth inning in seven of 10 appearances. 5Dimes Sportsbook using their dime line, has both the Nationals and Braves at -105. DJ gives his pick!
