Twins vs. Tigers
Total 10 ov-105 at BMAKER

1* Bonus Play OVER Twins/Tigers.

The visitors hand the ball to Tommy Milone (2-2, 4.97 ERA) who has strung a couple of decent starts together, most recently holding the Rangers to two earned runs off five hits and three walks in his team’s eventual 15-5 win on Sunday. Milone though has struggled on the road this year, going just 1-2 with a ballooned 6.20 ERA. The home side counters with confirmed “gas can” Anibal Sanchez (5-10, 6.75) who was shelled for five runs off eight hits and two walks over four innings in a loss to Toronto on Sunday. Sanchez has now given up a whopping 12 runs in 8.1 innings over his last two trips to the mound. Note that Sanchez has been particularly average at home, 3-4 with a poor 5.66 ERA thus far. With these two volatile starters going head-to-head, the OVER does indeed become a legitimate investment option.

White Sox vs. Mariners
White Sox -108 at BETONLINE

10* FREE MLB PICK (White Sox -108)

Chicago is going to come out pissed off and highly motivated after last night's heartbreaking 3-4 loss, which saw them blow a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the 9th. The good news is the loss has kept the line low for today's game and created some great value here on the White Sox at basically a pick'em. Chicago will give the ball to Jose Quintana, who has a 3.18 ERA in 10 road starts. Mariners will counter with Wade Miley, who has a 5.44 ERA in 16 starts, 5.05 ERA in 7 home starts and a 6.19 ERA in his last 3 outings. White Sox are 7-1 in Quintana's last 8 starts against the AL West, while the Mariners are 0-4 in their last 4 off a win. Give me the White Sox -108!

Padres vs. Cardinals
Cardinals -1½+102 at PINNACLE

Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (+102)

The St. Louis Cardinals hung 10 runs on the San Diego Padres yesterday in an 8-run victory. I look for them to swing the bats well again today and put up another big number to beat the Padres by multiple runs.

The Cards clearly have the edge on the mound behind Carlos Martinez, who is 8-6 with a 2.85 ERA and 1.155 WHIP in 17 starts this season. Martinez has posted a 2.77 ERA in two career starts against the Padres as well.

COlin Rea is 5-3 with a 4.80 ERA and 1.413 WHIP in 16 starts this season, including 2-1 with a 4.94 ERA and 1.710 WHIP in six road starts. Rea has never beaten the Cardinals going 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA and 1.778 WHIP in two career starts against them.

San Diego is 4-28 (-20.2 Units) against the money line as a road underdog of +175 to +250 over the last three seasons. It is losing in this spot by an average of 3.0 runs per game. St. Louis is 22-7 (+12.1 Units) against the money line vs. teams outscored by opponents by 0.5 or more runs/game on the season this season. It is winning by 3.4 runs per game in this spot. Bet the Cardinals on the Run Line.

Padres vs. Cardinals
Cardinals -1½+107 at PINNACLE

Padres RH Colin Rea (5-3, 4.95 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Carlos Martinez (8-6, 2.85)

Padres starting hurler Rea has struggled on the road this season, as is evident by a bloated 5.52 ERA. The righty thrower has pitched against the Cardinals two times in his career and has been smashed around for eight runs in nine innings.Im beting he gets pounded again today. Meanwhile his pitching opponent from the Cards Martinez struck out 11 batters in his last start before the All-Star break, against the Brewers. He has allowed just six total runs over his last six starts along with a stingy 1.34 ERA during that period. He is in top form and will be hard to get to today, vs a very inconsistent Padre offense.

Play on the St.Louis Cards on the runline -1.5

Twins vs. Tigers
Tigers -137 at BETONLINE

Free Pick on Tigers -

Detroit is showing great value here as a relatively small home favorite against the Twins. The Tigers are a strong 26-17 at home this season, while Minnesota is a miserable 13-30 on the road. The Twins are really struggling at the plate right now. They have scored 2 runs or less in 3 of their last 4 games and have totaled 6 or less hits in each of those games.

With the way Minnesota is struggling offensively, this is a great spot to take a chance on Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez. While he's just 3-9 with a 7.46 ERA and 1.729 WHIP in 14 starts, he's owned the Twins in his career, posting a 2.35 ERA and 1.128 WHIP in 12 starts against them. Minnesota will counter with Tom Milone, who has a 5.90 ERA and 1.781 WHIP in 5 road starts and has given up 10 runs on 18 hits in 8 1/3 innings over his last two starts against the Tigers.

Detroit is 14-2 as a home favorite of -125 to -175 this season and 22-8 in their last 30 after allowing 1 run or less in a win over a division rival. Minnesota is 6-22 in their last 28 after scoring 2 runs or less and 6-21 in their last 27 as a road dog of +100 to +150. Take the Tigers!

Dodgers vs. Nationals
Nationals +106 at 5DIMES

Dave's Tuesday Bonus Play:

1* on Washington Nationals +106

The Key: We are getting the Washington Nationals at an excellent price as home underdogs to the Los Angeles Dodgers today. They are dogs because not too many folks have heard of Reynaldo Lopez. But he has been an absolute stud in the minors this season, posting a 3.19 ERA with a 109/31 K/BB ratio across 87 1/3 innings at Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse. Scott Kazmir sports a 4.51 ERA in 18 starts for the Dodgers, including a 5.40 ERA in 8 road starts. Kazmir is 2-11 (-9.2 Units) against the money line in road games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons. The Nationals are 39-18 in their last 57 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and 15-5 in their last 20 home games overall. Take Washington.
