KANSAS CITY @ HOUSTON | 08/25 | 2:10 PM EDT
HOUSTON -1.5
ANALYSIS: I expect Houston to take off now that Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman are both back from injury/COVID -- Bregman is being activated today. The Astros should rough up Royals lefty Mike Minor (5.34 ERA) as Kansas City has lost his past four overall, and he's a bit worse away from home. Houston leads the AL in OPS vs. southpaws. The Astros' Lance McCullers (10-4, 3.21) has a 2.73 ERA in five career starts vs. the Royals. Tempted to take Houston without the runline (at -120), but -245 is a big number.

L.A. ANGELS @ BALTIMORE | 08/25 | 7:05 PM EDT
L.A. ANGELS -246
ANALYSIS: Playing out the stretch with a complete lack of major-league pitching, there is nothing to stop Baltimore’s losing streak from continuing Wednesday. Los Angeles outslugged Baltimore on Tuesday, winning the series opener, 14-8. The Orioles are 0-13 since June 22 as a home underdog coming off a multiple-run loss. Shohei Ohtani has been extremely steady pitching as a favorite. The Angels are 10-0 since June 6, 2018 when Ohtani starts as a favorite of at least -125.

MLB Sharp Action

2:10 p.m. ET: Kansas City Royals (56-69) at Houston Astros (74-52)

After the Royals stole the series opener 7-1 as + 225 road dogs, the Astros bounced back with a 4-0 shutout of Kansas City on Tuesday night, cashing as -250 home favorites. In this afternoon's rubber match, the Royals hand the ball to lefty Mike Minor (8-11, 5.34 ERA) and the Astros counter with righty Lance McCullers (10-4, 3.21 ERA). This line opened with Houston listed as a hefty -210 home favorite and Kansas City a + 190 road dog. Sharps aren't outsmarting themselves on this one. They're laying the big chalk with the Astros, who have a far better record, are at home and have a glaring starting pitcher advantage. Non-division home favorites are 407-256 (61.4%) this season. Big home favorites -200 or more are 157-60 (72.4%). Houston is 61-39 as a favorite and 28-22 against lefties. Kansas City is 35-52 as a dog and 36-51 against righties. Houston will lean on their bats in this one. The Astros are hitting .268, which ranks 1st in MLB. The Royals are hitting .245, which ranks 12th. Houston is 40-25 at home while Kansas City is 24-38 on the road. Pros have also hit this under, dropping the total down from 9 to 8.5. The under is 2-0 this series and 4-1-1 in the six meetings this season.

7:07 p.m. ET: Chicago White Sox (73-54) at Toronto Blue Jays (65-59)

These AL playoff contenders have split the first two games of the series. The Jays took the opener 2-1 as -115 home favorites and then the White Sox secured a 5-2 win last night as + 115 road dogs. In tonight's rubber match, Chicago sends out righty Lucas Giolito (9-9, 3.77 ERA) to face Toronto lefty Robbie Ray (9-5, 2.79 ERA). This line opened with the Jays listed as a -120 home favorite and the White Sox a + 110 home dog. The public is split down the middle and doesn't know who to back. However, we've seen the Jays fall from -120 to -115, signaling some sharp action on the White Sox at a plus money payout (+ 110 to + 105). Chicago has value as a road dog with a line move in their favor. We've also seen late season dogs with a strong winning record (.550 or better) perform well in August and September. These teams have cashed at roughly a 48% clip the past decade but have produced roughly + 60 units. Chicago also mashes lefties, going 21-13 against southpaws this season.

10:10 p.m. ET: Los Angeles Dodgers (79-47) at San Diego Padres (68-59)

These NL West rivals are trending in opposite directions. The Dodgers are 9-1 over their last ten games while the Padres are just 2-8. Despite trailing the first place Giants by 2.5 games, the Dodgers are still -165 favorites to win the division at BetMGM. Meanwhile, San Diego has now fallen out of the second Wild Card spot and now trails the Reds by a game. Los Angeles took care of business in last night's series opener, winning 5-2 as -140 road favorites. In tonight's rematch, Los Angeles taps ace righty Walker Buehler (13-2, 2.11 ERA) and San Diego trots out lefty Blake Snell (6-5, 4.82 ERA). This line opened with the Dodgers listed as a -127 road favorite and the Padres a + 117 home dog. Pros are riding the hot hand and backing Los Angeles to win again with their ace on the hill, steaming the Dodgers up from -127 to -140. Los Angeles is 78-44 as a favorite. San Diego is 8-13 as a dog. The Dodgers are 22-13 against lefties while the Padres are just 46-45 against righties. The Dodgers also have value as a favorite with a low total (8). Historically, low totals have benefited favorites as the fewer amount of expected runs scored are more likely to come from the better team.

Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 1%
Play: Los Angeles Dodgers -138 W Buehler (RHP), B Snell (LHP) Must Start

Buehler has not allowed more than two runs in a game since July 5th. Snell is good at home but with the Dodger lineup and a Cy Young candidate on the mound how could you not take them at this number? It should be -160. The Padres can not hit their way out of a paper bag these days. Take the Dodgers anything 150 or better.

Rotation #907
Giants +105 over Mets
Cueto/Walker
The Giants bats were on fire last night as they belted out 15 hits in a 8-0 blowout. I am not sure what changes overnight . I believe this game will be a little bit more of a pitchers duel because of the strikeout ability of each pitcher, but Johnny Cueto has much better command as of late as he is not allowing the walks Taijuan Walker is. Walker has really struggled in his last few starts going 0-5 and allowing double his average runs per game. The Giants are hot and should take advantage again tonight on the road. Take San Francisco.
