Domingo German has been outstanding overall for New York this season (14-2, 3.98 ERA), but the model has taken into account that he hasn't been quite as dominant in his last four starts, giving up 14 earned runs during that span. He also gave up multiple home runs in three of those four outings. The Blue Jays have won seven of their last 10 overall and just took two of three against the Rays, and the model likes their value as a big home underdog on Thursday.

ATLANTA @ MIAMI | 8/08 | 7:10 PM EDT

The Braves are 18-5 straight-up as road favorites this year, the position they find themselves in on Thursday against the Marlins. They're also 10-2 on the season against Miami. Dallas Keuchel has a solid 3.86 ERA since joining the Braves in the middle of the season, so the model gives him the edge against opposing starter Elieser Hernandez (1-4, 5.66 ERA). Miami has lost nine of 10 overall and the Braves just took two of three against the AL Central-leading Twins. They're worth the price in this one.

CHI. CUBS @ CINCINNATI | 8/08 | 7:10 PM EDT
7:04 PM
The Cubs are 12-6 with Cole Hamels starts, and my model is projecting another quality outing for him, saying he'll go almost seven full innings and give up fewer than two runs. The Cubs win this one straight-up almost 60 percent of the time in my projections, making them a solid value as the slight favorites.

View Analysis (https://www.sportsmemo.com/members/trades#)

These 2 teams have been having joint practice/scrimmages all week and so they are very well aware of each other heading into an actual "game" tonight...one or hopefully 2 steps up from a scrimmage.
What have we learned from the week together?
Nick Foles and Lamar Jackson look absolutely the part of full time starting QB leading his team to the playoffs.
Each team is working on finalizing the WR position from top to bottom...and should have solid competition starting tonight! Several guys on each side are on the cusp
Both teams have a definite QB most likely to play most snaps after the starters leave following.a series or maybe 2
Theree Jags are the team with the better looking back up so far in Gardner Minshew as well as the team more likely to sit Foles completely in tonight's game. Reports are he has looked exemplary and working with DeFilippo it is no wonder...same.can be said for Foles reunion as well if we get a chance to see him in action tonight.
Trace McSorley, from the do everything QB of a really excellent Penn State team, now to the backup ready to go at any minute behind run happy Lamar Jackson, has already had an up and down preseason so far...but I really love his chances tonight against the.2nd & 3rd string Jags defensive units.

The MLB Comp play is on San Diego at 10:10 eastern.

Lauer goes for San Diego and he has a superb 2.66 home Era. Colorado has lost 16 of 21 on the road and 10 of 11 vs a lefty. Look for the Padres to take the opener.

7 Units - #957 Colorado (+100) over San Diego *10:10 EST

On slow baseball day, this one contest stands out. Colorado and San Diego are the two worst teams in the NL and the last month or more they have earned it with the Rockies 8-23 since the end of June and the Padres 7-16 since the All-Star. While this looks like the Orioles and Tigers from the AL, Jon Gray of the Rocks has 10-3 career record against the Padres with a 2.87 ERA in 19 career appearances (18 starts). He is 5-2 in eight career starts at Petco Park with a 2.42 ERA. Friars' starter Eric Lauer is 0-3 in four career starts with a 12.51 ERA vs. Colorado, though most of the bloated ERA came at Coors Field, nonetheless, the facts are as stated. Both teams have plenty of negative numbers, but I cannot ignore San Diego is 3-10 vs. an NL team with an on-base percentage .325 or worse in the second half of the year, with the Rockies 14-4 away after a game with a combined score of 15 runs or more.

NFL Preseason
7:00 PM EST(Bob Balfe)
Rotation #251-252
New York Jets -2.5 over Giants
First and foremast, we have to realize these are preseason games and don’t count. The coaches couldn’t care less about winning these games. We can only hope everyone stays healthy, but every single preseason we see a major super star get injured for the year. If I was a coach my 3rd string would play every single snap. The Giants don’t have a quarterback on their roster outside of Eli Manning that has ever started a game in the NFL. The quarterbacks get a lot of attention in the preseason with most bettors picking teams based on who has the better rotation, but the real key is the men in the trenches. The Jets 2nd string Offensive and Defensive is leap years better than the Giants. The New York Jets backup defenders could actually have a lot of depth. The Giants are just not a very deep team defensively. The GMen have a revamped secondary. This could be a team that has great defense during the regular season, but for preseason action they simply don’t have the talent some other teams have. I like the Jets Second Team much better. Look for this unit to create a couple of key defensive plays in this one. Take the Jets.

View Analysis

Frank Reich didn't lose a game last year and likely a heavy dose of Jacoby Brissett is too much for the Bills who are very unlikely to allow run happy Josh Allen much than a series...if that. In game 1 I am not going to look to be any more difficult than go with what works...the Colts look to make a statement in the preseason...they think they can win this division no doubt and with a healthy Andrew Luck I think that is a very good shot...especially as I consider BOB down in Houston to be as much a detriment to his team as Reich is an offensive aide.

Colts moved from even to short dog to full on favorite laying a FG at some books with not even 60% of tickets bet on them!

Frank Reich may lose a preseason game this year...not tonight!

Kuechel v. Hernandez

Amazing spot today with the Braves off a very impressive series against the Twins and get to come back home and start what should most likely be a much less stressful and less tough series against division rival Miami Marlins. To start they send Kuechel to the mound to face Elieser Hernandez, a mismatch of -200 proportions no doubt!

The Braves in this specific spot are on a 15 for 15 stretch SU and 13-2 against the RL. When expanded out to the entire league in a spot off scoring as many runs as they did and without rest and travel, the record is 10-1 SU and 10-1 against the RL.

Hernandez is an easy case to go against, and with the RL price on the road squad getting all 9 full at bats and an offense just rolling...plus Hernandez metrics are in the mid-5s at best throwing up an 11.82 and 6.68 his last 2 starts with regard to xFIP , facing Kuechel who excels in this specific arena...other than allowing far too many long balls...however this is rarely a concern when facing Miami of all teams...15 HR at home against LHP all season...28 against LHP overall, second fewest to the Tigers

Clevinger v. Gibson

Twinkies stay home and that can never be bad...but yikes they got their arses handed to them by fellow division leader frontrunner Braves! Clevinger has been good and the Indians are flat out pitching better than the other 29 teams. The Twins don't NEED this game more technically...but my goodness if it sure doesn't feel like the pressure is on them...hosting and leading the division. I think the Clevinger and Bieber games will both feel like this and hard to imagine the confidence disparity here is the size of the Grand Canyon!

I think this line flip is significant regarding these factors and we exploit the small line meant to crush...and watch as the Tribe keep the roll going!

Gray v. Lauer

This is just a crazy mismatch...the Rockies should be able to solve Lauer and Jon Gray is as medically good as it gets for the boys from Denver. We get 5 at bats from the much better lineup and the Padres are off a pathetic 1 run loss to the M's making Kikuchi look like they spell his name Koufax!

Gray should get his fair share of punchouts as the Padres are sure struggling to keep much hitting going regularly. I love the right handed hitting to get do Lauer as early as the first inning honestly...and his ability to baffle the Dodgers not carry over to this lineup...reeling from being hammered by the world beating Stros

Few teams are as bad at hitting lefties than the Marlins, and they face one in Dallas Keuchel who mowed them down on July 7. Atlanta's offense has refound its form, averaging 5.9 runs per game this month -- roughly double the 3.0 the Marlins are plate-crossing. Elieser Hernandez is a better starter than his stats may indicate, but he's unlikely to get much run support.

Since the All-Star break, the Yankees are hitting .296 and averaging 6.7 runs per game. Since the month turned to August, those numbers are .321 and 8.3. Both runs per game average exactly three more per outing than the Blue Jays, who also rank dead-last in home hitting. Domingo German has not been the pitcher on the road than he has been at home, but the Yankees are 14-3 when he starts, while Toronto is 1-4 when long reliever Thomas Pannone gets the ball.

This is a potential letdown spot for the surging Braves following their dominance of the Twins in the final two games of their important series. The dreadful Marlins are desperate for a win after dropping all six contests on their recent road trip. But they have won three of their past five on their home diamond. Starter Elieser Hernandez has a 3.00 career ERA against the Braves and is 1-1 with a 4.22 ERA this year at Marlins Park.

The Indians are 39-16 since June 4, best record in the majors, and Mike Clevinger is 4-0 with a 2.01 ERA since the All-Star Break. Kyle Gibson has struggled in his career facing Cleveland. Back the Indians to tighten the division race even further.

The Marlins have lost six straight and now have to face Dallas Keuchel, who's fanned 20 over his last three starts. A month ago, Keuchel faced the Marlins and tossed 7.1 innings, allowing two runs on five hits. The Braves' bats are on fire and they love playing on the road. Lay it.
