Tuesday's comp play release is the Under in the Dodgers-Phillies game.

Their series opened last night with an Under as Los Angeles has now gone 4-1 Under the total in their last 5 games, a streak that started with Yu Darvish getting back on track in holding the Giants to just one run his last time to the mound.

Darvish is facing the Phillies for the first time in his career, so you would think he owns a slight advantage over the hitter who have not seen him before. Plus, Darvish owns a 2.59 ERA this season on the highway.

With last night's Under, Philly has now played Under in each of their last 4 games, and is 5-1-2 Under the posted price in their last 8 games played.

Aaron Nola was rock-solid his last trip to the hill - 7 innings of 1 run ball with 11 strikeouts versus Miami - a game that ended in a push totals-wise. 7 of Nola's 11 home starts this season have ended in the Under column.

Low-scoring game in the City of Brotherly Love tonight.

Dodgers-Phillies Under the total.

4* L.A. DODGERS-PHILADELPHIA UNDER

Dodgers don't have much to play for at that has really shown down the stretch as they have been losing a'lot and tonight is a great chance for the Phillies to grab us a plus money win. Phillies won last night and cashed a huge +300 number wish I had played it but tonight Aaron Nola goes for the Phillies he is 11-10 with a 3.60 ERA he has been very good in the second half of the year. He faces off with Yu Darvish who had a great start last time out against the hapless Giants but overall he has been mediocre with the Dodgers. We will invest a 9 unit investment in the Phillies tonight.

The Twins are the best money-making road underdog in baseball. That's where we find them today taking a hefty mid-range plus price.

The pitching matchup is Jose Berrios versus lefty CC Sabathia. Berrios has the lower ERA and is just beginning what promises to be a very good career. Depending on how you feel about Ervin Santana, Berrios is either the No. 1 or No. 2 pitcher on Minnesota. Berrios has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 16 of his 23 starts this season. In more than one-third of his starts, Berrios has held opponents to one earned run or fewer.

While Berriors is just entering his prime years, Sabathia is in the twillight of his career. Sabathia, who has chronic sore knees, was pushed back two days so he wouldn't have to pitch off the artificial turf in Toronto. So he is pitching on seven days rest here. Sabathia has a lifetime ERA of 4.17 when pitching with six or more days rest. He's done that seven times this year with an ERA of 4.72 in those outings.

The Twins are six games above .500 on the road and also have a winning mark versus lefties.

A pair of A.L. East rivals get set to duke it out in game 2 of a very important series. Red Sox on the road against the Orioles after recording a 10-8 win in 11 innings in the opening game of the series Monday night.

A Boston win in this game could turn out to be the final blow for the Orioles, and their ever-fading chances of a wild-card berth.

A look inside the numbers shows that the Red Sox are "road warriors" when they play bad teams, 5-1 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing record.

They also seem to play nearly flawless baseball on Tuesday nights, as the Red Sox are 24-5 in their last 29 Tuesday games.

Baltimore, on the other hand, can't get it together against winning teams, 1-7 in their last 8 vs. a team with a winning record. They also can't play on the grass, 1-7 in their last 8 games on grass To make matters worse, these Orioles are 0-4 in their last 4 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

Bottom line, its "goodnight" Orioles, so bet Boston!

4* BOSTON

My free winner last night was a baseball total, as I nailed the New York Mets and Miami Marlins to sail past the easy number. I told you it would get to double digits, and it hit 14. Tonight my money is on the Chicago Cubs and Tampa Bay Rays going Over the posted number.

IMPORTANT: As you know every single Run Line play and Total wager will automatically list the scheduled starting pitchers at the time of the wager, and I want you to be sure the following pitchers are the registered starters on your ticket when making your wager: Mike Montgomery and Chris Archer. If one or both of these pitchers is not going, this is a no-play.

I don't know about Montgomery, who returns to the rotation to open this series tonight. The left-hander is 4-5 with a 4.62 ERA in 12 starts, and was relegated to the bullpen as backup over the weekend against the Cardinals. I'm just not a fan of his mechanics, and how he handles himself under pressure. If he gets rattled, he gets rocked.

Meanwhile, with one of my favorite pitchers in the league, Archer is in after taking the loss on Wednesday against the New York Yankees, as he allowed three runs in four innings. He did beat he Cubs at Wrigley Field back on July 4, when he allowed three runs in six innings. But the problem is Archer is 2-5 with a 4.26 ERA in 12 post-All-Star break starts.

These two starters will get tagged enough to see this total over before the bullpen comes into play.

Play it high.

2* OVER Cubs-Rays (Montgomery and Archer)

Washington vs. Atlanta
Pick: Washington

It's a high price to pay here, but Max Scherzer was actually beaten by the Braves in his last outing, giving up seven runs in the process. He'll again be opposed by Luiz Gohara, making this an "immediate revenge" situation and I don't see lightning striking twice. It was - rather easily - the worst start of the year for Scherzer, who continues to pace the National League in strikeouts (246) and WHIP (0.92) while ranking 2nd in ERA (2.59). Bottom line is that I expect him to dominate the Braves this go around.

For six innings, Scherzer looked like his normal self last Wednesday. He'd allowed just two runs and had 7 K's. Then the wheels came off, seemingly right as his pitch count hit 100. Note, however, that while Scherzer was charged w/ five more runs, it was not he that gave up a grand slam to the Braves' Matt Kemp. (It was reliever Brandon Kitzler). But I won't let one bad inning cloud my view of Scherzer, who remains one of the elite pitchers in all of baseball. He's surprisingly struggled some against Atlanta this season, but was 4-0 against them in '16. Furthermore, he has a 1.79 ERA and 0.816 WHIP on the road this year (8-2 in 14 starts).

Gohara, a rookie, will be making just his third big league start here. Pitching in Washington last week certainly went a lot better than his debut when he allowed six runs (in four innings) here at home to Texas (an AL lineup sans DH). Despite his success last time out, Gohara will be facing a lineup that ranks fourth in all of baseball in runs scored, third in batting average and second in slugging. The Nats had won five straight Scherzer starts prior to last Weds, so the odds of a bounce back this time around are quite high. I wouldn't be scared off due to price here.

Now about this complimentary winner

Short and sweet freebie: I like the Houston Astros to demoralize the Chicago White Sox tonight, and will be playing the home team on the Run Line.

Though pitchers are automatically listed when making Run Line wagers, I am insisting you DO NOT worry about who the scheduled starters are. In the event of a scratch, you MUST re-wager the game with the new pitcher(s) who are scheduled. This play will stand no matter who pitches for either team.

The motivation is simple: with the American League West title locked up, it's time to wrap up the best record on the junior circuit.

With 13 games left in the season, the Astros are just 1 1/2 games behind the recently streaking Cleveland Indians for the best record in the AL and home-field advantage in the postseason. The Astros need to beat the Indians with records, since Cleveland owns the tiebreaker with a season series mark of 5-1.

Houston will roll tonight, against the sad South Siders.

3* ASTROS RUN LINE

MLB | LAD vs PHI
Play on: UNDER 8 -123

10* FREE MLB PICK (Dodgers/Phillies UNDER 8)

I think the combination of quality starters going and ideal pitching conditions make the UNDER a strong play in Tuesday's game between the Dodgers and Phillies. The wind is expected to be blowing in from straight center at Citizens Bank Park between 15 and 20 mph. That's going to make it tough to score for two teams that like to swing for the fences. Dodgers will send out You Darvish, who has had his ups and downs in LA, but is coming off a great outing, allowing just 3 hits over 7 shutout innings at San Francisco. Phillies will send out Aaron Nola, who has been sharp at home, going 8-4 with a 3.01 ERA and 1.029 WHIP in 12 starts. Nola is also catching the Dodgers at the right time, as LA has scored 3 or less runs in 3 straight games and are hitting just .209 as a team over their last 7. Give me the UNDER 8!
