Chicago White Sox vs. Minnesota Twins (MLB) - 7:10 PM EDT
Pick: Total: Under 7
*3 Star MLB 100% Angle Total* Andrew Albers has burst on the scene for the Minnesota Twins. He was absolutely dominating in AAA, and he has come up to the big leagues and pitched two shutouts in his first two major league starts. He will be up against a White Sox lineup that has been terrible against left handed pitchers all year. The White Sox have one of the worst lineups in baseball at this point. Chris Sale starts for the White Sox. He has been great this year, but his win loss record isn't good, because he rarely gets much run support. The under is 4-0 in the White Sox's last 4 road games. The under is 3-0-1 in the White Sox's last 4 against a team with a losing record. The under is 7-0 in the Twins last 7 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. The under is 3-0-1 in the Twins last 4 as an underdog. The under is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings between these two teams. The under is 2-0 in Albers' first two starts in his major league career. In all a 22-0 winning angle. Take the under.

Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves (MLB) - 7:10 PM EDT
Pick: Money Line: Atlanta Braves ML
*3 Star MLB Moneyline Cash* The Atlanta Braves have had Washington's number over the past couple years. The Nationals were expected to win the NL East, but the Braves are running away with the division. Atlanta has won 15 of the last 18 meetings between these two. Stephen Strasburg has been good this year, but he has struggled on the road. His ERA is above 4 on the road this year, and his ERA is also above 4 in his career at Atlanta. The Nationals are hitting .216 against lefties this year, and Mike Minor is a quality left handed starter. The Braves have the best home field advantage in baseball. Take Atlanta.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay Rays (MLB) - 7:10 PM EDT
Pick: Total: Over 8.5
*4 Star MLB Play of Day* The Tampa Bay Rays have hit left handed pitching extremely well all season. Lefty J.A. Happ will start in this one for the Blue Jays. Happ hasn't been consistent this year, and he has an 8.3 ERA in his career against Tampa Bay. He already had one terrible start earlier this year against the Rays. Roberto Hernandez starts for the Rays. Hernandez is just a mediocre pitcher who generally gives up 3 or 4 runs. Toronto's lineup has been better of late. Jose Reyes being healthy makes this Blue Jays offense much better. I like the value here. Take the over.
Could there be anything worst than going to a preseason game that does not count in 105 degree weather? The roof may be closed, but being out in the desert can drain players before they even show up for the game. Most players are not even close to being in game shape yet. The Cardinals look like they are going to have two all star cover corners and to me it is always the same story with Tony Romo. I really like Arizona and the depth they have at the running back spot this year. This should be a solid afternoon game. Take the Cardinals.
