MLB BALTIMORE at DETROIT
BALTIMORE is 40-30 (+25.7 Units) against the money line in Road games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons.

Game: Chicago White Sox at Houston (8:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Houston -105 (moneyline)
The Houston Astros have lost 213 games over the last two seasons, and are 26-44 through 70 games this season. That gives the odds makers trouble, as it is difficult to get a line on them to draw attention. And almost always, regardless of the situation, they are a dog. Houston, however, is in their best stretch in three years, as they are 22-7 over their last 18 games, and that includes three straight as an underdog vs. a struggling White Sox team. The White Sox are just 4-14 in their last 18 games, where they have scored four or less runs in 14 of them. Houston has gotten great pitching over their 18 game run, allowing a total of 59 runs or 3.3 a contest. Teams heading in opposite directions right now, value goes to the home dog, play on Houston.
Stanley Cup action report: Bruins drawing SU and puckline action
There’s not much room for error in the Stanley Cup final with Chicago and Boston needing extra frames to finish Games 1 and 2.
With the series tied 1-1 heading to Beantown, we talk to Aron Black of Bet365.com about the betting action coming in on Game 3 Monday.
Chicago Blackhawks at Boston Bruins – Open: -130, Move: -121
The Bruins have watched their moneyline odds slim a little since opening but the majority of the action is on the home side for Game 3, according to Black, who says money on Boston SU is outnumbering Chicago at a 5:1 rate.
The puckline has drawn Boston bets as well, with the Bruins priced at -1.5 (+235), despite the fact the first two games needed sudden-death overtime to be decided. The overtime trend has also scared bettors away from the three-way moneyline odds, with NHL fans passing on the winner in regulation offerings (Chicago +190/Boston +130/Tie +250) and just wagering on the SU moneyline.
Since Boston won Game 2 in overtime, Bet365.com has moved the series prices to a pick’em with both the Bruins and Blackhawks set at -110.
“Series money still more towards Boston but at pick’em now, we are seeing some Chicago money,” Black told Covers. “But overall we are in a better position if Chicago wins.”
The under is taking a lot of action with bettors siding with a low-scoring Game 3 at a 4:1 rate. The first two games of the series have split the total, with Game 2’s 2-1 OT finish staying below the number.
