Mighty was waiting on the Astros on Monday and likes the Orioles on Tuesday.

The deficit is 935 sirignanos.

My free play for Tuesday night is the Arizona Diamondbacks over the San Francisco Giants, and in this National League West showdown, play the Snakes on the Run Line.

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: Robbie Ray and Matt Moore. If one or both of these pitchers is not going, this is a no-play.

Loving Ray here, as he'll be out for redemption, after his solid September caught a snag last Wednesday, when the Padres drilled him for five runs over 4.1 innings and handed him a loss. Ray is among the National League leaders with 212 strikeouts, and will dominate this lineup.

His run support will come against Moore, who has a dismal 6.51 road ERA, compared with 4.21 at home. The left-hander has allowed 13 homers both at home and away, and will get stroked tonight.

Chris Jordan

Take Texas tonight over Houston and list Cole Hamels over Dallas Keuchel.

Texas handing the ball to Hamels is almost like a sure thing these days, as the left-hander is 7-0 with a 3.50 ERA in 10 starts at home. That's tied for the most wins at home by a Rangers pitcher without a loss in one season in club history. Hamels fired seven scoreless innings in win over the Astros on Aug. 11, and will be sharp once again.

Keuchel was dealt a loss in his last start, after allowing two runs over six innings. With nine walks in his last three starts, including a bases-loaded walk, command has been an issue. That won't bode well against the Rangers in this one.

Now about this complimentary winner

My free winner is on the Kansas City Royals on the Run Line against the Detroit Tigers.

Since every MLB wager on a run line or total auto-lists pitchers, I want you to be sure the two pitchers on your ticket, when making this play, are Anibal Sanchez and Jason Vargas. If they are not the pitchers of record when making your play, disregard this play.

It's a revenge game from earlier this month, when the Tigers - with Sanchez on the bump - destroyed the Royals and Vargas. Turnabout is fair play, and in his 31st start, Vargas is looking for win No. 18 - which would be the most for a Royal since Kevin Appier won 18 in '93.

Sanchez didn't take the decision in that win over K.C., and he hasn't beaten the Royals since 2015. He won't beat them tonight.

MLB Daily Line Drive: Tuesday's picks, betting odds and analysis

Double-Play Picks

Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals (-115, 8)

The Cubs and Cardinals get together for Game 2 of their three-game series at Busch Stadium on Tuesday night. Last night the Cubbies had fireworks launched for road home runs in their rival's building, won over rival fans by buying them nachos, and eliminated the Cards from NL Central contention with a convincing 10-2 victory.

As if that wasn't bad enough for the Cardinals and their fans, tonight the Cubs will get their chance to pop champagne bottles at Busch...and maybe chug some Budweisers in the locker room until the sun comes up tomorrow morning.

Jake Arrieta will get the ball for the Cubbies in his second start back from his hamstring injury. Arrieta worked five innings and threw 71 pitches against the Brewers, allowing only one run. Joe Madden will likely stretch him to 80-90 pitches today and then put him away for the playoffs. Over Jake's last eight starts he owns a 1.81 ERA and a WHIP of only 1.119.

Carlos Martinez gets the ball for the Cardinals. The purple haired "ace" of the St. Louis pitching staff has an ERA of 8.49 and a WHIP of 1.6286 over his last two starts. In his last outing against the Cubs he allowed seven earned runs over 5.1 innings of work in an eventual 8-2 loss.

The Cubbies get the job done tonight and stomp on the grave of their rivals - they will however be hungover fade-bait tomorrow.

Pick: Cubs -105

San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks (-210, 9)

The Diamondbacks will host at least one game this October, but they have bigger plans in mind for this postseason and will be using this last week to position themselves in the best place possible for their one-game playoff. That starts Tuesday night when they continue their three-game set with the Giants in Arizona.

One thing the Diamondbacks will do, is get their best pitchers fully rested and healthy before the Wildcard game, as it is an all-hands-on-deck scenario. Expect Tuesday night to be the last time you see starter Robbie Ray on the mound in the regular season.

The Arizona lefty has had an outstanding season, going 14-5 with a 2.95 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP and despite the fact the fact he is coming off a rough outing, he has been mostly brilliant.

Before his last start (which the D-backs won anyway), Ray had won five straight while pitching to a 1.39 ERA, a 0.77 WHIP and racking up 55 strikeouts and walking just six.

Ray gets to face a Giants lineup that ranks dead last in OPS and home runs, and 29th in runs per game.

Meanwhile San Francisco counters with a southpaw of their own in Matt Moore. Moore’s first full season by The Bay has not gone smoothly. He 6-14, with a 5.20 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP this season and it has been even tougher for him away from AT&T Park. On the road Moore is 2-5 with a 6.51 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP.

Oh, and Moore faces a D-backs lineup that usually dominates at home, ranking second in runs and OPS at home this season.

Ray and the Diamondbacks bounce back in a big way tonight.

Pick: Diamondbacks -1.5 (-108)

Yesterday's Picks: 0-2
Season To Date: 156-142-15

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Parker Bridwell, Los Angeles Angels (8-3, 3.86 ERA, $1537)

Parker Bridwell takes the mound for the Angels today in Chicago against the White Sox. Bridwell is the runaway leader in our Starter Money standings for the season at $1537 and owns a team win/loss record of 15-3.

Bridwell also owns a perfect 8-0 team win/loss record on the road for his career.

Bridwell and the Angels put perfection on the line tonight at Guaranteed Rate Field as -165 favorites.

Slumping: Bartolo Colon, Minnesota Twins (6-14, 6.63 ERA, $-111)

We could be reaching the end of the road for "Big Sexy". The Twins may possibly give him a courtesy wave on Sunday, but other than that today may be the last real start for Bartolo Colon.

It's been a terrible season for Colon and over his last three starts he owns an ERA of 13.09 and a WHIP of 1.909. All three of those starts turned out to be losses.

"Big Sexy" and the Twins are +180 underdogs on the road against the red-hot Indians this evening.

Tuesday's Top Trends

* Under is 14-2 in Trevor Williams' last 16 starts overall. Orioles/Pirates Total: 8.5.
* The Cleveland Indians are 29-2 in their last 31 games overall. -200 today vs. Twins.
* The Texas Rangers are 26-6 in Cole Hamels' last 32 home starts. +120 today vs. Astros.
* The Los Angeles Angels are 8-0 in Parker Bridwell's eight career road starts. -165 today @ White Sox.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

According to the forecast, there shouldn’t be any precipitation that will interrupt any of today's games on the MLB schedule. It feels like we haven't had any baseball rain in weeks. Did we just jinx the weather?

The winds are also very light across the league today. No games on the schedule will feature double-digit wind speeds.

Ump Of The Day

Dan Iassogna will be calling balls and strikes tonight at Coors Field in Denver for the game between the Rockies and the Marlins. Iassogna is the No. 4 homer umpire in baseball this season at 19-7. A $100 wager on the home team in all of his games would tally up to $1037 thus far.

Over the last two seasons home teams own a 64.9 winning percentage in his games (37-20) and the Marlins are only 6-24 in their last 30 contests with Iassogna in pads.

The Rockies are solid home favorites at -155 tonight.
