7 Unit Play. Take #911 New York Yankees -115 over Kansas City Royals (8:15 PM, Thursday, May 18)
The New York Yankees will look for their fourth win in their last five games when they take on the Royals at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, MO on Thursday night. Jordan Montgomery (2-2, 4.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) will get the start for the Yankees and he will be opposed by Danny Duffy (2-3, 3.38 ERA, 1.34 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Royals. The Yankees have posted a perfect 6-0 record in their last six road games where they faced a left-handed starter and they are also a perfect 4-0 in their last four games where they faced a team with a winning record. They have also covered the number in seven of their last nine Game #3's of a series and they are a lights out 8-1 in their last nine road games. The Royals, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone juts 1-5 in their last six games where they faced a lefty starter and they are just 1-4 in Duffy's last five starts overall. They have also lost seven of their last eight games after losing the first two games of a series and they are an awful 10-25 in their last 35 games following a loss. Throw in the fact that the Yankees have won the last four head to head meetings at Kauffman Stadium along with the fact that the Yanks have dominated the head to head series overall and we'll lay short price here with the Yankees to get the road win in KC on Thursday night.

4 Unit Play. Take #915 Over 8.5 -110 Chicago White Sox at Seattle (10:10p.m., Thursday May 18)
The struggling Chicago White Sox come to Safeco Field dropping 9 out 11 games and the Sox were swept in LA by the Angels. The White Sox were outscored by the Halos 24-17 and two out of those three games went OVER the total. The Seattle Mariners have been an OVER team as of late hitting 6 out of their last 9 games and tonight I see the Mariners scoring early and often against the White Sox. Chicago White Sox starter Dylan Covey has been hit and hit hard and Covey is 0-2 in his last 3 starts with an ERA 9.00. With both teams able to score runs quickly I'm a bit shocked that this total wasn't 9 and with this low total I see the Mariners winning and scoring. The White Sox are 4-0-2 O/U following a loss and the Mariners are 7-3 O/U in their last 10 home games.

The NHL Game 4 Power play is on the Anaheim Ducks at 8:00 eastern. The Ducks have been the best offensive team in the playoffs and are likely to bounce back after struggling to score in game 3. The Ducks are 3-1 when trailing and have won 4 straight when down 2-1 in a series. They are 15-6 after scoring 1 or less goal last out. Nashville has been solid at home but home teams in game 4 that are up 2-1, wining game 1 and losing game 2 on the road and then taking game 3 at home are only .500 historically so the nice line value is on the Ducks in this game. Play on Anaheim in this one. On Thursday another powerful MLB Card is up and led with a solid 5* MLB Totals system as well as out May specific league wide database system plays. MLB on fire and is at or near the top of high end leader boards. Message to jump on. For the NHL Playoff free pick. Play on Anaheim. GC

PLAY: TORONTO BLUE JAYS
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY
Unlike NBA and NFL, where a superstar or elite quarterback being out results in a massive point spread difference, few everyday baseball players affect the money line.
Freddie Freeman is one such player. He was hit in the left wrist by a pitch yesterday and won't play today. It's not just Freeman putting up MVP numbers: an NL-best 14 homers, .341 batting average, .457 on-base percentage and an OPS of 1.211. The Braves have no one who can come close to adequately replacing Freeman. He is by far their best player.
Light-hitting middle infielder Jace Peterson had just moved to third with Adonis Garcia on the DL. Now Peterson is likely to temporarily play first like he on Wednesday after Freeman was hurt. That was Peterson's first time playing first base in his career. So the Braves suffer a double whammy - losing their best hitter and taking a hit defensively.
This is going to be a tough game for the Braves to be mentally focused. Not only is their concentration going to be off wondering about the status of Freeman, who had played every inning in every game until getting hurt, but the team is foaming at the mouth. The Braves are seething not only about Freeman getting hit by a pitch, but what they perceive as the hot dog antics of Jose Bautista, who is one of the more despised players in baseball.
Toronto, by contrast, is in stop-the-pain mode. The Blue Jays appeared to be turning their season around winning five in a row - until facing the Braves. Toronto is 0-3 in this series having lost the first two games at home to the Braves while falling, 8-4, in Atlanta last night. This is the Blue Jays' last chance to salvage a game in the series.
The Blue Jays aren't just favored, though, because Freeman is out. They have a pitching edge with a matchup of Marcus Stroman versus Julio Teheran.
Stroman has turned in six quality starts in his eight outings. He has a 2.87 ERA in his last five starts holding opponents to two runs or fewer in four of those starts. The Braves have never faced Stroman, giving him an element of surprise. Stroman has a proven track record during interleague going 5-1 with a 2.11 ERA in 11 games versus NL foes, including eight starts. Atlanta is 15-20 versus right-handed starters.
Teheran threw six shutout innings in a 3-1 victory during his last outing this past Saturday. That was against the light-hitting Marlins at pitcher-friendly Marlins Park. The buy sign is not there yet on Teheran. He still hasn't proven he can pitch well at Atlanta's new SunTrust Park. Teheran is 1-3 with a hideous 8.14 ERA in four home starts this season.
Early returns of SunTrust Park are that it is far more of a hitter's park than Turner Field because of the way the ball carries. Teheran hasn't solved his new park. The Braves haven't been a good play when Teheran pitches at home in quite a while going 5-17 during his past 22 home starts.
Teheran has been less than stellar in interleague games, too, going 3-8 with a 4.87 in 14 contests versus the AL. He has a 6.60 ERA in three games against Toronto. The Blue Jays raked him for five homers in 15 innings.
Toronto has been disappointing up to this point. Not having Josh Donaldson hasn't helped. But the Blue Jays still have more wins that Atlanta. The Braves are in rebuilt mode. Minus Freeman they are near expansion bad.
