I'm recommending a play on the Astros on Sunday. Mark Buehrle goes for the Jays in this one. The veteran hurler has had a tough start to the 2015 season, especially when you take his three outings against Baltimore out of the mix. Buehrle has been tagged for a 7.29 ERA & 2.00 WHIP in his other four starts in 2015. And while his numbers the previous three years against Houston look good, this isn't the same Astros team he faced in those outings. Houston enters with a four-game winning streak on the line and a red-hot 24-13 record, overall. Meanwhile, the Jays have dropped four straight games. Collin McHugh suffered his first loss of the season last time out, but faces a Blue Jays squad that's lost 12 of their last 16 road games. The Jays have also lost 37 of their last 55 road games against right-handed starters. The Astros are on a 14-3 run with McHugh on the bump and they'll look to make it seven straight wins in home meetings with the Jays. I'm backing the Astros on Sunday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Sunday comp play is the Atlanta Braves as the slight dog at the Miami Marlins.
The Braves have won their first two games of this weekend set by identical 5-3 scores, and today they have their best pitcher on the hill in Shelby Miller.
Miller is off to a 4-1 mark this year, and his ERA is a stingy 1.60. The Braves have gone 6-1 when Miller makes the start, including a pair of wins over Miami in which Miller's ERA is 0.90.
The Marlins have dropped 5 of their last 6 games, and they have failed to score more than 3 runs in any of those games.
Henderson Alvarez will make his first start in over a month after being sidelined with shoulder inflammation. His numbers are solid against the Braves in recent meetings, but with his team not hitting the baseball right now, it is hard to make a case for Miami avoiding the sweep in this Sunday series finale.
Go with Miller and the Braves.

The SMART INTANGIBLE with the Cubs - MEANT TO BE. Right now, the Cubbies are meant to be winning. They cashed in No. 6 in a row yesterday, when starter Jon Lester bested Pittsburgh's young gun Gerrit Cole in a pitchers' duel. The Cubs pulled out the 4-1 win, and continue to look like a contender.
The SMART INTANGIBLE against the Pirates - WALKING THE PLANK. The Pirates' setback last night meant a fourth-straight loss, and that's not good when you're playing a motivated team, like the Cubs, in their venue. Pittsburgh will have a hard time getting up for this game, and will end up being swept.
Finally, why CHICAGO is the SMART PLAY with this game - The Cubs are in a good position to make a run at first place, as they're just behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central. And while Chicago can beat the Bucs in Wrigley, it also knows the Redbirds are struggling in Interleague play against the always-tough Detroit Tigers.
Don't bother listing pitchers with this game, as it's come down to how well the Cubs are performing versus the Pirates' losing way. With both teams headed opposite ways, this is a cheap price to lay with the Cubs, who will make it seven in a row here, and eight of 10 when hosting a losing team.

Your Bonus Play of the day is the Pittsburgh Pirates on the money line over the Chicago Cubs. At the time of this writing, the Pirates are +120 on the money line... most likely because they're on the road and playing one of the hotter teams in baseball right now.
Chicago is riding its longest winning streak in nearly four years and today they are shooting for a three-game sweep of the Pirates... and if they're able to get the job done today it'll mark back-to-back sweeps of two straight series for the first time since September 2010. And if you consider the last time Chicago had a 6- or 7-game winning streak was 2011, it's clear that the Cubs are in unchartered waters.
The Cubs are six games over .500 for the first time since 2009 and only three games back of first-place St. Louis in the NL Central race.
I believe AJ Burnett will be the pitcher to stop this streak dead in its tracks today as I'm expecting him to continue his solid pitching. In his only appearance against the Cubs this year, Burnett allowed only one run over six innings in a no-decision back on April 20. While Jake Arrieta matched Burnett pitch-for-pitch in that game, Burnett actually out-pitched him overall and I think he'll be seeking a little revenge today.
Take the Pirates on the money line as your Bonus Play of the day.

Your Sunday freebie is the Cardinals over the Tigers.
After getting romped in the series opener 10-4, the Cards were closer to victory yesterday, but wound up falling by a run in 10-innings at home.
Look for them to salvage the weekend with the win tonight over Detroit and Alfredo Simon.
This is a percentage play release, as the Cards had been 14-3 at home prior to dropping the first two this weekend. St. Louis has not been sweep in a home series of more than 2 games since the middle of June back in 2013.
Sure, Simon's record is better than that of his counterpart Lance Lynn, but at the end of the day, the Redbirds have played too well at home this season for me to think they they get broomed in their home park.
Play on the Cards.

Rangers open conference final with another under
The New York Rangers opened the Eastern Conference semi final with a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday, going under yet another total.
With the win, the under is now 10-2-1 in 13 playoff games this postseason, mostly thanks to the ridiculous play of goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.
Lundqvist is 9-4 this postseason with a crazy good 1.56 goals against average and a .945 save percentage.
With the incredible run the Rangers are on, the total for Monday's Game 2 at Madison Square Garden has opened at a low 4.5.
