304617) Hanwha Eagles at (304618) Kiwoom Heroes
Game: (304617) Hanwha Eagles at (304618) Kiwoom Heroes
Date/Time: Aug 26 2021 5:30 AM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Pinnacle (http://cappersmall2.com/lines.php)
Play Rating: 3%
Play: 1H Kiwoom Heroes Total Over 2.5 (+100)

Hanwha SP Jang Si Hwan is terrible. He walks more than he Ks and he has allowed 13 runs in his last 3 starts. Kwoom averages 2.7 runs per 1st 5 and against a stiff like this there is no reason to think they can not eclipse that. Take Kiwoom Over 2.5 1st 5.

Play Rating: 1%
Play: 1st 5 innings Draw

Looking at the matchup between these two teams every possible category is a stalemate. SPs are about equal, allow only 2 runs per start vs the other, both lineups powerful and both in good form. It is certainly worth a 1% play to bet the draw after 5 innings. Take it for +535, I see it at +520 in other books. Anything over 500 is worth a 1% shot.

(304617) Hanwha Eagles at (304618) Kiwoom Heroes
Game: (304617) Hanwha Eagles at (304618) Kiwoom Heroes
Date/Time: Aug 26 2021 5:30 AM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Pinnacle (http://cappersmall2.com/lines.php)
Play Rating: 1%
Play: 1H Hanwha Eagles Total Over 1.5 (+100)

I generally do not like betting my money on garbage (and Hanwha is garbage) but they average 2.1 runs every 1st 5 and Kim Dong Hyeok walks more than he Ks. His ERA is an illusion because he was a reliver. Hanwha should be able to get 2 in the 1st five make a 1% play on it.

(304611) Samsung Lions at (304612) LG Twins
Game: (304611) Samsung Lions at (304612) LG Twins
Date/Time: Aug 26 2021 5:30 AM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 3%
Play: 1H Samsung Lions -148

Buchannan has allowed 1 run in 6 innings each of his starts vs LG. He has a 113/33 K/BB rate and is pitching very well. LG SP Im has a 12/9 K/BB rate and Samsung has the better lineup. Better SP and better lineup means 1st 5 money line. If Samsung can get 1 in the 1st 5 it should at least tie.

304173) Yokohama Baystars at (304174) Hanshin Tigers
Game: (304173) Yokohama Baystars at (304174) Hanshin Tigers
Date/Time: Aug 26 2021 5:00 AM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Pinnacle (http://cappersmall2.com/lines.php)
Play Rating: 4%
Play: Yokohama Baystars Total Over 2.5 (+100)

Pinnacle (http://cappersmall2.com/lines.php) by far has the best lines for Japanese baseball and they are offering the Yokohama team total at +100 2.5. My numbers have this at 3.7 so a lot of value. I like Joe Gunkel but he has a 3.50 ERA vs the BayStars and never goes past 5 innings. The Hanshin bullpen is garbage I think 2.5 is way too low. Take the Over 2.5.

CHI. WHITE SOX @ TORONTO | 08/26 | 3:07 PM EDT
CHI. WHITE SOX +101
ANALYSIS: In a matchup of solid starters, Carlos Rodon has set himself apart. Rodon has struck out 13.1 batters per nine innings this season, while Toronto’s Hyun Jin Ryu has struck out just 7.1 batters per nine innings. Rodon worked five shutout innings in his last start against the Cubs and they were electric as he struck out 11 with just two hits allowed. The White Sox are 6-0 since July 24, 2018, when Rodon starts as a road underdog after he had more strikeouts than hits allowed, but allowed at least two hits in his last start.

MLB Sharp Action

7:10 p.m. ET: San Francisco Giants (82-44) at New York Mets (61-65)

The Giants have taken the first two games of this series, winning the opener 8-0 as + 115 road dogs and winning again yesterday 3-2 as + 100 road dogs. The Giants have now won four straight while the free-falling Mets fall to just 2-10 over their last 12 games. In tonight's series finale, San Francisco hands the ball to lefty Alex Wood (10-4, 4.11 ERA) and New York counters with righty Carlos Carrasco (0-2, 8.82 ERA). This line opened with the Giants listed as a -118 road favorite and the Mets a + 113 home dog. Wiseguys aren't outsmarting themselves on this one. They're fading the reeling Mets and backing the best team in baseball on a short chalk price, driving the Giants up from -118 to -125. The Giants are 52-25 as a favorite this season. The Mets are 20-33 as a dog. San Francisco is also 59-28 against righties while New York is just 14-25 against lefties. 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 up to 9. The forecast calls for ideal hitting weather: high 80s with 7-10 MPH winds blowing out to center. The home plate umpire Adrian Johnson has also historically favored overs (55%).

9:40 p.m. ET: New York Yankees (74-52) at Oakland Athletics (70-57)

This non-division showdown is pivotal for both teams and their playoff aspirations. The Yankees currently occupy the first Wild Card spot in the AL while the Athletics are only 1.5-games back of the Red Sox for the second spot. In tonight's series opener, the Yankees send out righty Jameson Taillon (8-4, 3.94 ERA) and the Athletics tap fellow righty James Kaprielian (7-4, 3.25 ERA). This line opened with New York listed as a -125 road favorite and Oakland a + 115 home dog. The public is all over the red-hot Yankees, who are riding an 11-game win streak. However, despite this lopsided support we've seen New York fall from -125 to -110. This signals some sharp reverse line movement on the Athletics as a short home dog (+ 115 to + 105). Non-division home teams receiving steam 10-cents or more are 226-147 (60.6%) this season. Oakland also has value as a contrarian home dog with a high total. Sharps are also eyeing the over in this one. The total opened at 8.5 and respected money has pushed it up to 9. The forecast calls for high 60s with 5-10 MPH winds blowing out to dead center.

10:10 p.m. ET: Kansas City Royals (56-70) at Seattle Mariners (69-58)

These non-division foes are at opposite ends of the playoff spectrum. The Royals are out of contention and own the fourth-worst record in the American League. Meanwhile, the Mariners are just 2.5-games back of the second Wild Card spot. In tonight's series opener, Kansas City hands the ball to righty Brad Keller (8-12, 5.43 ERA) and Seattle starts lefty Yusei Kikuchi (7-7, 4.22 ERA). This line opened with the Mariners listed as a -146 home favorite and the Royals a + 133 road dog. Sharps seem to think this line is a bit low and have gotten down hard on Seattle, steaming the Mariners up from -146 to -168. Non-division home favorites are 411-259 (61.3%) this season. If they're in the "sweet spot" range of -150 to -175, they improve to 88-50 (63.8%). This is also a "schedule spot" advantage for Seattle, who was off yesterday while the Royals played the Astros. Rested favorites coming off a day off against teams on a back-to-back are 58-36 (61.7%). The Royals are 24-39 on the road. The Mariners are 37-25 at home. Wiseguys are also leaning under here. The total isd 8.5 with the under juiced to -120, signaling a possible fall to 8.

955) Arizona Diamondbacks at (956) Philadelphia Phillies
Game: (955) Arizona Diamondbacks at (956) Philadelphia Phillies
Date/Time: Aug 26 2021 7:05 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 1%
Play: Philadelphia Phillies -1.0 (-115) Z Gallen (RHP), Z Eflin (RHP) Must Start

Eflin has been a bit of a mess this season but at home he has a very respectable 3.00 ERA. Gallen is 1-7 despite having basically the same numbers. These teams match up almost even in every category except bullpen, where the Phillies have the advantage. They are also fighting for a respectable season and the DBacks are a mess on the road. Take the Phillies on the alt run line -1 for 1%. If they win by 1 it is a push.

(953) St. Louis Cardinals at (954) Pittsburgh Pirates
Game: (953) St. Louis Cardinals at (954) Pittsburgh Pirates

Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 1%
Play: St. Louis Cardinals -1.0 (-125) M Mikolas (RHP), M Keller (RHP) Must Start

Mikolas is a bit unproven but he has held the Pirates to 0 in 5 and the Cubs to 1 in 4. Keller on the other hand has a 7+ ERA at home and a 1.81 WHIP. The Cards are just a better team and at least have a few hitters at the MLB level, the Pirates do not. Take the Cardinals for 1% on the -1 alt run line. If they win by 1 it is a push.

L.A. ANGELS @ BALTIMORE | 08/26 | 1:05 PM EDT
L.A. ANGELS -105
ANALYSIS: This is an absolute steal of a price. The Orioles had lost 19 in a row, and now they're almost even money with their worst pitcher on the mound in Keegan Akin? This feels like an overreaction to yesterday's game, and we like to take value by going against recency bias. This is too good of a value to pass up on fading one of the worst teams in baseball. Take the Angels.

MINNESOTA @ BOSTON | 08/26 | 7:10 PM EDT
OVER 10
ANALYSIS: We have wind blowing out, solid hitting conditions and a Twins team to capitalize on Thursday. The Over is 9-2-1 when the Twins have played away from home since the start of August. This includes allowing an average of 6.25 runs in those 12 contests, with the last six going Over. Chris Sale will probably limit the Twins, but their lineup has good power and one or two mistakes could end up over the fence. On the other side, John Gant is likely to struggle and give us an extended look at the Twins' abysmal bullpen. Go with the Over.

L.A. ANGELS @ BALTIMORE | 08/26 | 1:05 PM EDT
OVER 10.5
ANALYSIS: I think this game gets to 11 since the average of the two games in this series thus far has been 19 runs. The Orioles bullpen is terrible, and the Angels bullpen might be just as bad after watching the L.A. relievers end Baltimore's losing streak on Wednesday. There should be runs scored today on both Keegan Akin and Jaime Barria. Grab the total to go Over.

L.A. ANGELS @ BALTIMORE | 08/26 | 1:05 PM EDT
L.A. ANGELS -105
ANALYSIS: The Orioles were down yesterday before they broke out for 10 runs ending their losing streak at 19 games. They start lefty Keegan Akin today who is 0-8 with a 7.92 ERA this season, but most notably he doesn’t get deep into games. Meaning the Orioles league worst bullpen will be pitching about half the game after closing down a win with their top guys yesterday. The Angels are in the top third at hitting lefties in the league. Jaime Barria struggled in his last outing but he can go deep if he pitches well. Take the Angels on the road.

CINCINNATI @ MILWAUKEE | 08/26 | 2:10 PM EDT
MILWAUKEE -111
ANALYSIS: Brett Anderson vs. Sonny Gray and the Brewers are going for the sweep. Brett Anderson is much better at home with a 3.13 ERA and the Reds struggle against lefties with the 5th worst wOBA in the league. He has already faced Cincy this season and pitched two good outings and one bad one. Sonny Gray is better on the road but he was hit hard in his last start against the Brewers. I just don’t trust the Reds bullpen even if they take an early lead. The Brewers have all their top relievers available as well, so Ill take the Brewers at home to sweep. The Brewers have won five straight against the Reds and two of the last three series between these two teams have been sweeps.

SAN FRANCISCO @ N.Y. METS | 08/26 | 7:10 PM EDT
SAN FRANCISCO -115
ANALYSIS: The Mets are 6-17 in August and I'll back the MLB-best Giants to keep New York in free-fall. The Mets have a .694 OPS versus southpaws, which ranks fifth-worst in MLB. Look for Alex Wood (10-4, 4.11 ERA) to produce another strong start as the Giants take their fifth straight.

Game: (957) San Francisco Giants at (958) New York Mets
Date/Time: Aug 26 2021 7:10 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4 units
Play: San Francisco Giants -113 A Wood (LHP), C Carrasco (RHP) Must Start

4 unit San Fransisco Giants (-113) over New York Mets (Wood/Carrasco) –
Cookie Carrasco hasn't seen much action this season, and the action that he has seen, hasn't exactly been easy to watch. He is 0-2 in his 5 starts with a 8.82 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP, and in his L3 starts his ERA is 14.63, including a 14.14 ERA in his 3 home starts. While the Mets have struggled with Carrasco on the mound, they have also struggled with lefties recently, they are 2-8 in the L10 games as a dog vs. a LHP, and they are 3-7 when a LHP is closing out a series (including 1-5 in LGS @ H vs. a non-divisional opponent). San Fran on the other hand is hot, and has one of their top pitchers on the mound looking to close out the sweep. Wood may have an ERA slightly over 4.00 but a 10-4 record shows that this team can get behind Wood, the Giants are 4-1 in his L5 as an AF < -110, 15-4 in his 19 starts vs. a RHP (including 14-1 when the line is < -110) and he is 7-1 when closing out a series (including 3-0 on the road). Alongside the fact that Wood is going H2H w/ Carrasco and in Wood's L11 starts vs. ERA > 3.50 w/ a line < -110 and they are 12-1 in his L13 vs. a SP with a WHIP ≥ 1.2 w/ a line < 130 (including 9 straight wins and a 5-0 record on the road). San Fran pulled out the W last night, even though they allowed 10 hits to their 4, but they only had 2 runners LOB all game, that has only happened in a W 7 times this season, and the team that recorded ≤ 2 LOB was 5-2 in the game to follow, they are also 8-1 this season after committing more then 1 error in a W and the team is 10-1 in L11 vs. RHP w/ ERA > 5.00 when the line is > -185.

CHI. WHITE SOX @ TORONTO | 08/26 | 3:07 PM EDT
CHI. WHITE SOX -105
ANALYSIS: Carlos Rodon returns from the IL to make this start and he is 6-2 with a 2.21 ERA on the road this season. He allowed one run in five innings against the Blue Jays earlier this season. Hyun Jin Ryu has been very up and down and he allowed three runs in six innings in his start against the White Sox earlier this season. Both these teams hit lefties well, but the White Sox should like the adjustment to a soft throwing lefty after being dominated by Robbie Ray yesterday. The White Sox top bullpen guys are well rested while the Blue Jays top pitchers would be pitching in their third game in four days if they pitched today. Tim Anderson is back in the lineup, take the White Sox to split the series.

CHI. WHITE SOX @ TORONTO | 08/26 | 3:07 PM EDT
CHI. WHITE SOX -105
ANALYSIS: The White Sox get Cy Young candidate Carlos Rodon back from the injured list and he's supposedly ready to go a normal length -- but even if not, the Sox's top three relievers, Michael Kopech, Craig Kimbrel and Liam Hendriks, are all available. The Jays' Hyun Jin Ryu has been rather hit or miss in his past handful of starts. Toronto also is starting a bit of a watered-down lineup after its Big 4 (Alejandro Kirk at DH?).

Giants -120 over Mets
Wood/Carrasco
The Giants won last night after playing as bad you could play. The Mets almost tripled the Giants hits and we gifted runs on errors and lost with the bases loaded last night. This is a team that needs a dozen hits just to put up 4 runs. The Giants are rolling right now. This is a team that wins when they should lose and should take advantage of Carlos Carrasco who just has not pitched that much this season. Take the Giants.
