3-Unit Play. Take #903 Cincinnati (-110) over Milwaukee (7:40 p.m., Monday, April 24)
These two teams have gotten off to solid starts. But I am going with the road team in this one. The road team has won five of the last six in this series and the Reds have revenge for a 3-1 series loss to the Brewers two weeks ago. The Brewers have lost five of six against rivals St. Louis and Chicago. Amir Garrett has been great for the Reds. The young lefty has just a 0.86 WHIP and 1.83 ERA in his three starts. The Brewers are going with Matt Garza. He has not been good in several years. And this is his first start of the season so I don't expect him to go very deep in the game. The Reds are 5-1 against teams below .500 and the Brewers are just 1-5 in their last six at home.
3-Unit Play. Take #911 Kansas City (-110) over Chicago White Sox (8 p.m., Monday, April 24)
I have been backing Jason Vargas hard out of the gate this year. I will continue to do so. He is incredibly underrated. The lefty has just a 0.44 ERA and has 23 strikeouts to just two walks so far in 21 innings. The Royals are 3-0 in his three starts. The Royals are really struggling to score. And they are coming off a four-game sweep in Texas. But they should manage a couple runs to back Vargas in this one. The Royals are 35-16 in their last 51 games in Chicago and Kansas City is 37-15 in their last 52 games overall against the White Sox. Take Kansas City.
3-Unit Play. Take #910 San Francisco (+140) over L.A. Dodgers (10 p.m., Monday, April 24)
I will take the underdog here. This is a great price on the home team. This is a big rivalry series and I know that the Giants are going to be very motivated in this one. They have gotten off to a poor start and have lost four games in a row. But that is mainly because they are just 1-6 in their seven games against Colorado. And the Dodgers are not playing that much better. The Dodgers are just 2-5 in their last seen games. The home team has won eight of the last 10 between these two and San Francisco is 5-2 in its last seven against the Dodgers. The Giants are 16-5 in their last 21 home games against Los Angeles and they will get it done.
