MLB

4 Picks (12 Units).

7:05PM EST: Rays ML +165 (3 Units).

Joe Boyle gets the start for TB and he's likely pulled 2 times through the lineup. This will be his 2nd start of the year but he's made 4 long relief appearances. The Rays have a good bullpen and it's fresh as any at the moment. Only 2 TB relievers have pitched twice over the last 5 days. New York's offense is considerably less threatening without Judge in the lineup. NYY SP Max Fried is flat out pitching poorly. He has a 6.52 ERA through 4 July starts, allowing at least 3 ER in each one. This is his 3rd start of the season against TB and they'll be on him if he isn't sharp again tonight.

7:10PM EST: Reds ML +135 (3 Units).

LP: N. Lodolo (CIN).

Tyler Glasnow is making his 4th start since coming off the IL. He threw 7 innings of 1 run ball at Home vs Minnesota his last time out, striking out 12. He threw 106 pitches after failing to top 88 in his previous 2 starts. That could cause a little more fatigue than he's built for at the moment. He's also labored on the road this season, completing just 11 innings in 3 combined starts. The Reds had plenty of chances last night, they just failed to come up with the big hit. They went 3 for 10 with RISP and left 9 on base. The Dodgers bullpen woes continued last night. Despite taking a 5-1 lead into the bottom of the 9th the Reds still got the go ahead run to the plate. CIN SP Nick Lodolo has a 1.85 ERA over his last 7 starts with a .87 WHIP. He's recorded 4 straight quality starts and has allowed 3 ER or less in 7 straight Home starts.

7:40PM EST: White Sox ML +165 (3 Units).

LP: J. Luzardo (PHI) / J. Cannon (CWS).

Luzardo has a 7.23 ERA in 4 July Starts. He's allowed 4 ER or more in 3 of 4 July starts and in 5 of his last 9 overall. He's really struggled and the White Sox have continued to swing the bats well. CWS SP Jonathon Cannon got hit around in his last start but that's an outlier since coming off the IL at the end of June. He allowed 2ER or less in each of his previous 4 starts. He's made 17 appearances and only 6 of them have come at Home. He allowed 2 ER or less in 5 of those 6 starts. The one outlier was the start prior to hitting the IL.

7:45PM EST: Marlins ML +140 (3 Units).

LP: S. Alcantara (MIA) / S. Gray (STL).

This is us buying up Sandy Alcantara's stock. He didn't allow an earned run through 7 innings in his most recent start against SD. He's a former Cy Young winner that's really struggled with consistency since coming back from Tommy John surgery. He's still only 29 years old and all the advanced metrics show he's still got the stuff. It's about command and that's coming. The Cardinals offense has really struggled since the break, scoring 3 runs or less in 7 of 11 games. They're averaging just 3.5 runs per game since the break and that's with a 3 game set at Colorado. STL also has a .184 xBA and .261 wOBA in 41 career plate appearances vs Alcantara. STL SP Sonny Gray has been hammered coming out of the All-Star Break. He allowed 9 runs (8 ER) on 11 hits and 2 HR across 3.1 IP in his first start. Then in his 2nd and most recent he got shelled for 7 runs (6 ER) on 11 Hits and 2 HR across 5 IP.
