St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainright has allowed one run or less in four of his last five starts! He’ll be facing Javier Assad, who will be making his major league debut Tuesday in the MLB’s lone day game. Assad is a 25-year old 6’1″ right hander who hadn’t made it above AA ball until this year.

As crazy as it sounds, the Marlins vs. A’s matchup might be the highest scoring game of the day. Miami starter Pablo Lopez looks like he’s hit a wall. He’s got great talent but is pitching like a young player that has “hit a wall” and should be shut down for the season. A’s pitcher Zach Logue is giving up video game type numbers and may not get through the third inning. Get our Mia/Oak pick here!
Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo threw seven shutout innings against the Phillies back on August 17th. When he’s good, he’s been really good. When he’s bad, he’s been really bad. Which Lodolo will we see Tuesday against a nasty Ranger Suarez, who has only given up one run or less in five of his last six starts and four of those were ZEROES! Get our Cin/Phi pick here!
Giants lefty Carlos Rodon has been filthy as of late, allowing two runs or less in each of his last four starts. Unfortunately for Rodon, the Giants are mired in a slump, losers of four of their last five games. They’ll get the Tigers Tuesday, which may be just what the Dr. ordered! Motor City is 4-2 in their last six, however, the big picture tells us all we need to know, as they’re 6-16 in their last 22 games. Expect a low scoring affair at Comerica Park today!

Monday MLB action closes out with what projects to be a grind of a game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers. If you throw Eric Lauer’s miserable month of July out, he’s been a REALLY good pitcher this season. On the other side of the field, you’ve got Julio Uras who has looked like a Cy Young candidate lately, allowing only four earned runs over his last thirty-eight innings. This smells like a low scoring affair! Get our Mil/LAD pick here!
A pair of lefties go head-to-head Monday evening at Wrigley Field when the St. Louis Cardinals come to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Cubs. It’ll be Jordan Montgomery for the Cards, who has only allowed one earned run over his last 16.2 innings. The Cubs will feature Drew Smyly, who has also been good lately, who has only allowed two earned runs over his last seventeen innings. In fact, Smyly has allowed two earned runs or less in five of his last six starts. Get our Stl/ChC pick here!
The “Subway Series” kicks off Monday between the New York Mets vs. New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The fans will be up for it, but the game doesn’t have the same shine as the Yanks have only scored more than two runs once in their last four games. They’re not putting up wins either, as they’re 3-9 in their last twelve games. Get our NYM/NYY prediction here!
The White Sox and Royals square off Monday afternoon in the only day game on an abbreviated nine game slate. After a quick start to the season, Michael Kopech has looked average at best lately. Lefty Daniel Lynch started the season off slow, but has pitched better over the last month or so. The Sox got rained out yesterday and Kansas City is 1-6 in their last seven games. Who wins Monday afternoon at Kaufman Stadium? Get our CWS/KC pick here!
The Pittsburgh Pirates have a stacked group of young players but it hasn’t yet translated into wins. The Bucs are 2-8 in their last ten games, with a firm grasp on last place in the National League Central division. The Braves are in just the opposite situation, winners of eleven of their last thirteen games. Bookmakers have made the Bravos heavy -200 favorites, despite Jake Odorizzi’s inconsistencies and the game being played at PNC Park. Get our Atl/Pit bet recommendation here!
If you like strikeouts, Sunday’s Brewers vs. Cubs contest is the game for you! Brandon Woodruff and Justin Steele sit hitters down at a rate of better than one per innings! Wins are expected to be blowing in at around 12mph. Runs could be at a premium! Get our Mil/Chi bet recommendation here!
