WUNDERDOG (MLB)
1 OF 10
Game: Houston at Toronto (1:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 7.5 -120
While neither of these starting pitchers has been great this year, I don't think these offenses have much resistance to offer. The Astros get only 3.6 runs per game on the road and over their past seven overall, they've managed only 3.1 per contest. Toronto averages just 4.5 on the season and 4.1 vs. RHP. The Blue Jays bullpen has been outstanding (2.93 ERA with 1.133 WHIP). Since last season, Houston is 13-2 UNDER vs. bulllpens with a WHIP under 1.150. This season they are 10-2 UNDER vs. bullpens with a WHIP of 1.250 or less. Houston has seen the UNDER cash five straight times on the road and five of seven on the road with Myers on the mound. The Stros are also 25-9 UNDER in their last 34 when facing a team that scored 2 runs or less last game. Toronto is 9-1-1 UNDER in Morrow's last 11 starts vs. a losing team.
Take the UNDER here.

OVER 9 RUNS
St. Louis at Kansas City
2:10 p.m. EST
We are 11-6 (65%) here with the Free Pick over the last 17 days. We like the over here today for a couple of reasons. First off, the forecast calls for a strong wind blowing out to center field today at Kauffman Stadium. Secondly, KC sends righthander Nathan Adcock to the mound today, a rookie who had never pitched above Class A ball until this year. He hasn't been very impressive in the few innings he's pitched this year and today he faces one of the best hitting teams in baseball. The over is 22-5-1 in the Cardinals’ last 28 road games against a right-handed starter and we fully expect that trend to continue here.
