Sharp Action
1:10 p.m. ET: Milwaukee Brewers (55-39) at Cincinnati Reds (48-44)
The Brewers have taken the first two games of this pivotal NL Central battle, winning the opener 11-6 as + 110 road dogs and winning again on Saturday 7-4 as -140 road favorites. In today's series finale, Milwaukee sends out ace Corbin Burnes (4-4, 2.36 ERA) and Cincinnati counters with fellow righty Sonny Gray (2-4, 3.19 ERA). This line opened with the Brewers listed as a -125 road favorite and the Reds a + 115 home dog. Sharps have pounced on red-hot Milwaukee to complete the sweep, steaming the Brewers up from -125 to -135. Short road favorites -150 or less off a win are 104-71 (60%) this season. The Brewers are 28-18 on the road this season. Cincinnati is just 23-22 at home. Milwaukee is 45-30 against righties. The Reds are 37-37 against righties. There also appears to be some liability on the under, as the total is 8 with the under juiced to -115. Keep an eye on Reds All-Star slugger Nick Castellanos. He is questionable with a wrist injury.
2:10 p.m. ET: Houston Astros (56-37) at Chicago White Sox (55-36)
These AL powerhouse contenders have split the first two games of the series. The Astros won the opener 7-1 as -125 road favorites. Then the White Sox bounced back with a 10-1 shellacking of the Astros on Saturday, winning as -115 home favorites. In today's rubber match, the Astros hand the ball to lefty Framber Valdez (5-1, 2.98 ERA) and the White Sox send out fellow southpaw Carlos Rodon (7-3, 2.31 ERA). This line opened at a pick'em with both sides listed at -105. Moneyline tickets are split down the middle and the public doesn't know who to back. However, props seem to be backing the White Sox as we've seen Chicago move from -105 to -120. Home teams coming off a win receiving 15-cents or more are 115-74 (61%) this season. Non-division home favorites are 305-186 (62%). The White Sox have mashed lefties this season, going an impressive 18-8. Chicago is 49-21 as a favorite and 32-15 at home. The total opened at 8.5. Pros have gotten down hard on the under, dropping the like from 8.5. to 8. The forecast calls for high 70s with 8-10 MPH winds blowing in from left
2:15 p.m. ET: San Francisco Giants (58-33) at St. Louis Cardinals (45-47)
These non-division opponents have split the first two games of the series, with the Giants winning the opener 7-2 as a -105 pick'em play and then St. Louis winning on Saturday 3-1 as + 100 home dogs. In this afternoon's rubber match, the Giants tap veteran righty Johnny Cueto (6-5, 4.15 ERA) and the Cardinals send out lefty Wade LeBlanc (0-1, 3.20 ERA). This line opened with San Francisco listed as a short -112 road favorite and St. Louis a + 102 home dog. Pros seem to think the number is too low on San Francisco and have rushed to the window to back the Giants (-112 to -120). The Giants are 37-17 as a favorite this season and 42-22 against righties. San Francisco's advantage might come at the plate. The Giants are hitting .245, which ranks 10th in MLB. St. Louis is hitting .230, which ranks 25th.
