1 Unit FREE PLAY on Chicago Cubs -127
The Cubs are 6-0 in their last six games overall. They have scored at least 7 runs in five of those six wins, so their offense is really clicking right now. The addition of Daniel Murphy has certainly helped as Mr. Clutch has been delivering for them since being traded from the Nationals. Cole Hamels has also been delivering since being traded from the Rangers. Hamels is 4-0 with a 0.79 ERA in five starts with the Cubs. Hamels is also 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his last five starts against the Mets, giving up just 4 earned runs in 36 innings. Give me the Cubs.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Game #954 Tuesday Free Pick Cincinnati Reds Money Line (+) vs Milwaukee Brewers @ 7:10 ET - I know it may seem "scary" to play on a Reds team that has lost 5 straight games but there is a reason this game is priced the way it is. The fact is that Cincinnati's Anthony DeSclafani had been red hot before he struggled some in his most recent start and that was in hitter-friendly conditions at Wrigley Field where he was done in by a pair of homers. Prior to that loss the Reds were 4-0 in DeSclafani's 4 prior starts. Also, the Cincinnati right-hander had compiled a sparkling 0.83 ERA in his 3 previous outings! Tuesday he'll be opposed by the Brewers Junior Guerra. Milwaukee is 1-5 in the right-hander's last 6 road starts. He has been struggling mightily away from home. Guerra has a 10.70 ERA in his last 4 starts away from home. With consideration to all of the above factors as well as the fact that the Reds would love to play the role of spoiler against a division rival, this is a great spot for a play on a home dog. Free Pick CINCINNATI

Play on: UNDER 9 +105

Mets / Cubs under
Less than a week removed from an alarming offensive outage, the Chicago Cubs are playing arguably their best baseball of the season. The Cubs will aim for a season-high seventh consecutive victory when they continue a three-game series against the visiting New York Mets on Tuesday.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (8-8, 1.71 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Cole Hamels (9-9, 3.82)
The lack of run support that has plagued deGrom all season cropped up again last time out, as he found himself on the wrong end of a 3-1 loss. The 30-year-old allowed two runs (one earned) over six innings in the loss to San Francisco, and he struck out 10 – his fifth straight start with at least nine strikeouts. In six career starts against the Cubs, deGrom is 2-2 with a 3.47 ERA.
Hamels has been nothing short of dominant since joining the Cubs, going 4-0 with a 0.79 ERA in five starts. The 34-year-old is coming off a complete-game win against Cincinnati in which he allowed one run and eight hits with seven strikeouts. Hamels is 9-14 with a 3.99 ERA in 32 career starts against the Mets.
Under is 16-5-1 in deGroms last 22 starts overall. Under is 14-5 in Cubs last 19 overall.

MLB | TAM vs ATL
Play on: UNDER 8 -105

Tuesday MLB Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Tampa Bay and Atlanta at 7:35 pm et on Tuesday.
I'll back the 'under' as the Rays and Braves open their Interleague series in Atlanta on Tuesday night.
Ryne Stanek will start things off for the Rays and likely work an inning or two. He has been sharp regardless his role, having now allowed an earned run since giving up two against Boston back on August 17th. Yonny Chirinos is likely to follow Stanek. He has worked at least five innings in four straight starts, allowing three earned runs or less in three of those outings.
Julio Teheran will counter for Atlanta. He has worked at least into the sixth inning in four straight starts and checks in having allowed only four earned runs over his last three outings, spanning 20 innings of work. He'll need to be sharp again on Tuesday night as the Braves just aren't scoring like they were a short time ago.

MLB | Rays vs Braves
Play on: Braves -125 at BMaker

My free play is on the TB Rays at 7:35 ET. The Tampa Bay Rays have won eight in a row (MLB's longest current winning streak) but at 70-61 overall, are 'buried' in the AL East race plus find themselves 8 1/2 games back in the American League wild-card hunt. The Rays capped a three-game sweep of Boston over the weekend with a 9-1 victory Sunday, climbing nine games above .500 for the first time since 2015. As for the Atlanta Braves, the team which came into 2018 having averaged 69 wins per year over the last three seasons, sits at 73-57, giving them a 3 1/2 game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. However, the Braves were only able to manage a split of a four-game weekend series against last-place Miami and enter this contest a modest 5-5 in their last 10 games. The two teams open a quick two-game series on Tuesday at SunTrust Park.
Getting the ball for the Rays is Ryne Stanek (2-3, 2.53 ERA). He is one of several relief pitchers that Tampa Bay has used as an “opener” this season, a reliever who begins the game and typically pitches one-to-two innings. Stanek makes his 22nd start of the season and while throwing just 31 2/3 innings in his first 21 starts, he is holding opponents to a .168 batting average, while posting a 2.84 ERA in those assignments. Stanek pitched two perfect innings in his last start Wednesday against Kansas City but then earned the victory with a scoreless inning of relief Saturday against Boston.
Julio Teheran (9-7, 4.09 ERA) takes the mound for the Braves. Teheran is unbeaten in his last five outings (he's 2-0 but the Braves are only 3-2), recording a 2.93 ERA while holding opponents to a .155 opponents batting average with 16 hits allowed in 30 2/3 innings. He snapped a string of three consecutive no-decisions Wednesday at Pittsburgh, surrendering just one run on two hits with one walk and five strikeouts over seven innings to get the 2-1 victory.
Stanek's numbers look very good but he has not thrown more than two innings in any of his 21 starts this year with the Rays going 9-12 and minus-$417 vs the moneyline in those outings. Atlanta wrapped up a 5-2 road trip by beating Miami 4-0 on Sunday but while the Braves hit only .200 as a team during visits to Pittsburgh and the Miami, their pitching staff posted an 0.89 ERA while allowing just six runs in seven games. Teheran has been strong for the last month and my bet says that the Rays' winning streak ends at eight.

Play on: UNDER 9 +104

10* FREE MLB PICK (UNDER 9)
I'll gladly take my chances here with the UNDER 9 in Tuesday's NL clash between the Cubs and Mets. While these two combined for 11 runs in yesterday's series opener, I don't see them coming close to double-digits with the two starters going in this one. New York will send out Jacob deGrom, who has a ridiculous 1.71 ERA and 0.971 WHIP in 26 starts. In his only start against the Cubs this season, he allowed just 1 run with 13 strikeouts in 7 innings. Chicago will send out Cole Hamels, who has pitched like a Cy Young candidate since coming to the Cubs in a trade. Hamels has a 0.79 ERA and 0.940 WHIP in 5 starts with Chicago, including a complete game last time out at Wrigley Field against the Reds. Give me the UNDER 9!

DMack's Free Play for Tuesday, August 28, 2018 is on the Cincinnati Reds (DeScalfani Listed)
The Reds have lost five straight but there is no reason here why not to take a look at DeScalfani to stop the bleeding. The Red righty has been rock solid all year and Cincinnati is 8-6 in his starts. He's 1-1 with a 2.18 ERA in his L3 and faces Junior Guerra (0-3, 8.70, L7 starts) and the Brewers who beat him back in June 28th. Good spot for the home team here at plus money.

MLB | WAS vs PHI
Play on: OVER 7 -105

1* Free Sharp Play on Nationals vs Phillies over 7 -105
Just about everyone is going to be looking to back the UNDER in Tuesday's NL East showdown between the Nationals and Phillies, as two of the top Cy Young candidates for the National League will face off with Max Scherzer going for Washington and Aaron Nola going for Philadelphia. Not only are both putting up incredible numbers, but they just faced off against each other last Thursday and the Phillies won that contest 2-0. I actually think that recent start hurts both pitchers, as the hitters will have that recent outing fresh in their minds and should take a much better approach at the plate. The conditions here are also not ideal for pitching, as it's going to be very humid with temps expected in the high 80s and heat index in the 90s. The wind is also expected to be blowing out at close to 10 mph. Look for this one to eclipse the mark set by the books. Bet the OVER 7!

Money Line: +108 Cincinnati

Sportsbook:
Bookmaker

This game features the 73-59 Brewers at the 56-75 Reds. Brewers off a big rival match up with the Pirates and I am not sure they will be geared up for this one. Anthony DeSclafani has been one of the best young arms for the Reds. Reds have lost 5 straight and are desperate for a win. Guerra was brutal last time out giving up 10 hits and 7 runs in his last start versus these Reds. In the second half of the season Anthony is 2-1 with a 1.95 ERA in four August starts. Take the Reds for a 15* winner.
