  Play: Atlanta Braves -109 J Montgomery (LHP), H Ynoa (RHP) Must Start
  
  3 unit Atlanta Braves (-109) over New York Yankees (Ynoa/Montgomery) –
  Matchup of 2 very hot teams, but Atlanta may be more impressive and has a little bit of a pitcher edge in this game. Ynoa has a 2.70 ERA w/ 1.02 WHIP in his 10 appearances this season, including a 3-0 record @ H (4 total ER) and a 4-0 record at night (4 total ER). The Braves offense has definitely supported Ynoa, they are 5-1 in his L6 starts including 3 straight @ H and 4 straight as a F. Atlanta is also 17-2 in the L19 games vs. LHP w/ a line < -105, they are 13-1 vs. LHP w/ ERA over 3.50 and a line under (-105), not to mention that they are 16-2 in the L18 overall, 20-4 in the L24 as a F, 10-1 vs. LHP after getting out hit and 10-4 in the FGS when coming in off a W. The issue for the Yankees is even with all these weapons they are struggling to support their pitching staff, Montgomery isn't a top tier pitcher, but also isn't one to sleep on, in the L7 games his ERA is 3.13, but he is 1-3, even holding opponents to a limited amount of runs, Montgomery is still taking the L's. The Yankees are 2-4 in Montgomery's starts as a dog, and when you put this offense up against a SP w/ an ERA under 3, NYY is 1-5 in the L6 (including 5 straight L's to RHP w/ ERA < 3.00)

CHI. WHITE SOX +101
ANALYSIS: Blue Jays starter Alek Manoah got roughed up in his last outing, giving up seven runs at Washington in a 12-6 loss. He’s at home Monday, but the poor performance could have a lingering effect. Cy Young candidate Lance Lynn is on a roll with the White Sox, winning his last five starts. He has a 2.27 ERA on the road. Take the White Sox to win.

SEATTLE @ OAKLAND | 08/23 | 9:40 PM EDT
OAKLAND -130
ANALYSIS: Close losses have been the story with the Oakland A's, as they lost another game by one run Sunday against the Giants. It should be a different story Monday as Oakland has kept Marco Gonzales from pitching beyond six innings twice this season. Moreover, they were the last team to score multiple runs against Gonzales, on July 25.

CHI. WHITE SOX @ TORONTO | 08/23 | 7:07 PM EDT
TORONTO -111
ANALYSIS: Over Lance Lynn’s last five starts, the White Sox starter has failed to pitch beyond five innings in three. Other apparent signs of fatigue have shown as his strikeout rate has declined, along with a rise in pitches per inning. In July, he averaged 17 pitches per inning, which has rose to 21 in August. Take the Blue Jays on Monday to snap out of their recent funk.

NFL Sharp Action

8 p.m. ET: Jacksonville Jaguars at New Orleans Saints

This Monday Night game is the final game of NFL Preseason Week 2. The Jags (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) fell to Browns 23-13 in their preseason opener, losing straight up as 3-point home favorites. Similarly, the Saints (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) lost to the Ravens 17-14, failing to cover as 1-point road dogs. This line opened with New Orleans listed as a 3.5-point home favorite. Pros and Joes are both laying the points, driving the Saints up from -3.5 to -4. Some shops even reached -4.5 before some Jags buyback brought the line back down. The total opened at 37.5 and has been steamed up to 40. If you're betting the over now, you're late to the party and getting the worst of the number, which is commonly referred to as "chasing steam." Instead, bettors could be eying a buy-low inflated under opportunity. The under is 24-8 (75%) this preseason. When the total is 37 or higher, the under is 10-2 this preseason and 185-116 (62%) since 2014. Jameis Winston is a -190 favorite (66% implied probability) to take the first snap in Week 1 for the Saints. Taysom Hill is + 140.

MLB Sharp Action

8:10 p.m. ET: Kansas City Royals (55-68) at Houston Astros (73-51)

Both of these non-division foes have played well as of late. Kansas City is well out of playoff contention but has gone 6-1 in their last seven games, most recently sweeping the Cubs in Chicago. Meanwhile, Houston leads the AL West by 3.5-games over 2nd place Oakland and just took two of three from Seattle at home. In tonight's series opener, the Royals start lefty David Lynch (3-3, 5.12 ERA) and the Astros send out righty ace Zack Greinke (11-3, 3.43 ERA). This line opened with Houston listed as a hefty -220 home favorite and Kansas City a + 200 road dog. Pros aren't scared off by the big chalk and have steamed Houston up from -220 to -240. Non-division home favorites are 401-250 (62%) this season. Home favorites -200 or more are 151-57 (73%). The Astros are 60-38 as a favorite. The Royals are 34-51 as a dog. Houston is 28-21 against lefties. Kansas City is 35-50 against righties. Houston is 39-24 at home. Kansas City is 23-37 on the road. The Astros will lean on their bats in this one. Houston is hitting .268, which ranks 1st in MLB. Kansas City is hitting .244, which ranks 12th. There looks to be a slight lean to the under here. The total is 9 with the under juiced up to -115.

9:40 p.m. ET: Seattle Mariners (67-58) at Oakland Athletics (70-55)

This a crucial series for these AL West rivals. The Athletics are currently tied with the Red Sox for the second Wild Card spot but the hard-charging Mariners are only three games behind. Both teams are looking to get back on track, as the Mariners just dropped two of three at Houston while the Athletics just dropped two of three at home to the Giants. In tonight's series opener, Seattle hands the ball to lefty Marco Gonzales (5-5, 4.10 ERA) and Oakland counters with righty Paul Blackburn (0-1, 5.06 ERA). This line opened with the Athletics listed as a short -107 home favorite and the Mariners a -103 road dog. Wiseguys have pounced on the A's at home laying a virtual pick'em price, steaming Oakland up from -107 to -120. Home favorites receiving 10-cents of steam or more are 329-204 (62%) this season. Short home favorites -130 or less are 220-158 (58%), producing roughly + 31 units. Oakland has mashed lefties this season, going 28-18. We could also be looking at a higher-scoring game in this one. The total is 8.5 with the over juiced to -115, signaling a possible rise to 9. The forecast calls for low 60s with 10 MPH winds blowing out to center.
