MLB | Indians vs Angels
Play on: Angels -106 at BMaker
Dave's Tuesday Free Play:
1* on Los Angeles Angels -106
The Key: The Los Angeles Angels are just 1.5 games back of the Minnesota Twins for the 2nd wild card spot. The Twins have a tough series in New York right now, so they have a chance to gain some ground here. The Indians are coming off their huge winning streak and it's likely they will let up here down the stretch. Tyler Skaggs is coming off his best start of the season, pitching 7 shutout innings in a 9-1 home victory over the Houston Astros on September 13th. Mike Clevinger faced the Angels back on July 25th, giving up 6 runs, 11 base runners and 2 homers in 4 1/3 innings. Take Los Angeles.

MLB | Cubs vs Rays
Play on: Cubs +113 at BMaker
Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Chicago Cubs +113
Getting the Chicago Cubs as underdogs is a nice value here as Joe Maddon returns to Tampa Bay. The Cubs still have a lot to play for as they are only 3.5 games up on the Brewers for first place in the NL Central. The Rays have nothing to play for but pride after going 3-7 in their last 10 games to fall to 73-77 on the season.
Left-hander Mike Montgomery has done his best work on the highway, going 2-2 with a 2.91 ERA and 1.147 WHIP in six road starts this year. The Rays are 17-27 (-9 units) vs. left-handed starters this season, hitting just .231 and scoring 4.0 runs per game off them.
Chris Archer remains one of the most overvalued starters in the big leagues due to his big strikeout totals. But Archer is clearly wearing down here late, going 0-3 with a massive 14.14 ERA and 3.000 WHIP in his last three starts.
The Cubs are 10-1 in their last 11 interleague games. Chicago is 30-12 in its last 42 vs. a team with a losing record. The Cubs are 7-0 in their last seven vs. AL East opponents. The Rays are 8-22 in Archer's last 30 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Tampa Bay is 1-6 in its last seven vs. a left-handed starter. Bet the Cubs Tuesday.

MLB | Brewers vs Pirates
Play on: Brewers -115 at betonline
Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers are a hot team entering Tuesday's road contest against the slumping Pittsburgh Pirates as they attempt to chase down a playoff spot. The Brewers recorded a 3-0 victory in Monday's opener of the three-game set and have tallied 60 runs while winning eight of their past 10 games.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Chase Anderson (10-3, 2.88 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Trevor Williams (6-8, 4.26)
Anderson has won back-to-back starts as well as three consecutive decisions. The 29-year-old is 5-3 with a 3.43 ERA in 12 road starts, compared to a perfect 5-0 home mark. Anderson is 5-2 with a 3.20 ERA in 10 career starts against Pittsburgh -- and 2-0 with a 2.43 ERA in two 2017 starts, including a victory in his last turn when he gave up two runs (one earned) and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Williams lost to St. Louis in his last outing and has dropped four of its past five decisions. The 25-year-old gave up four runs and four hits in 4 1/3 innings against the Cardinals, marking the third time in his last five outings that he pitched five or fewer innings. Williams allowed three runs and six hits in six innings during a no-decision on June 21 in his lone career start against Milwaukee.
Brewers are 10-1 in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and are 10-2 in Andersons last 12 starts after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game. Pirates are 1-11 in their last 12 vs. National League Central. Brewers are 5-1 in their last 6 games with Randazzo behind home plate.

MLB | Dodgers vs Phillies
Play on: Phillies +155 at 5Dimes
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Philadelphia Phillies +155
The Philadelphia Phillies are worth a shot today as big home dogs to the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is a Dodgers team that hasn't cared much down the stretch because they basically already have the top seed in the NL locked up. They are now 5-18 in their last 23 games after losing as whopping -380 favorites to the Phillies last night. The Phillies will be motivated to beat them again here and to show off a young lineup that has played well down the stretch, going 5-2 in their last seven games overall. Now Philly ace Aaron Nola gets the ball, and he's 8-4 with a 3.01 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 12 home starts. Yu Darvish is 1-3 with a 5.68 ERA in his last five starts for the Dodgers. The Dodgers are 2-15 in their last 17 games following a loss. The Phillies are 8-1 in Nola's last nine starts when working on 5 days of rest.
