On paper the Astros have a big edge in the probable starters tonight with Wade Miley toeing the rubber for Houston based on his seasonal and Jose Barria getting the ball for the Angels. The biggest question mark is does either team care whether they win this game? Get Dan’ opinion and moneyline play.

The Rays took the opener 2-1 for their fifth win in their last six games. It was also the sixth win over the past seven in this series by the home team. Tampa Bay goes with the hot Charlie Morton for this game who has posted three consecutive quality starts. Jonathan Loaisiga gets the ball for the Yankees who have lost his last four starts. Get our cappers play.

The Indians destroy lefties which doesn’t bode well for the White Sox with a struggling Hector Santiago on the mound. Cleveland starter Clevinger has been doing his part all season and comes into this off five consecutive quality starts. The problem here is the number. Is there ever any value in laying -270?

It’s risky business any time you bet the Nationals with that awful bullpen. No lead is ever completely safe and Washington starter Patrick Corbin hasn’t gone past six innings in his last four outings. Read on to get Zank’s complete take on the game and free pick.

The final game on the Sunday MLB card has the Indians hosting the Phillies at Progressive Field in Cleveland. The MLB betting board has the Indians as -140 favorite on the money line with the total offered up at 10.5 runs.

Astros starter Wade Miley got blown up in back to back starts but rebounded nicely in his latest. He’s had a lot of success versus the Angels this season allowing four earned runs in three starts all won by Houston. Based on the probable starters the line when it comes out will be large, making maybe a run line pay the best bet.

The Dodgers long time ace Clayton Kershaw hit a bump in the road with two poor outings but rebounded somewhat recording a quality start in his latest. The Rockies send out rookie Peter Lambert who rarely pitch-es a good one. LAD backers will have to lay -320 if they want to bet the money line. Read on to get Dan’s sug-gested wager.

In a game that is listed at pick’em on most boards the edges are typically more difficult to find. With Jack Flaherty going for the Cards and Kyle Hendricks for the Cubbies there isn’t any obvious advantages with the starters. Read on to get our MLB prognosticator’s betting angles and free pick.

The Braves host the Phillies in the second of a three-game set. The key question is whether Efflin can reverse his fortunes against the Braves who have ripped him for 12 runs in 9 1/3 innings pitched over three starts this season. Get Dan’s take and moneyline play.

Here’s the biggest question of this series: just how motivated are the Reds going to be? While the Cubs have every reason to want this game, the Reds don’t have anything to play for other than pride and jobs. That’s a great reason to put forth a top individual performance, but it’s not so great when looking to earn a result as a team, especially against a motivated opponent.
