MLB | Pirates vs Cardinals
Play on: Pirates +155 at MyBookie
1* Free Pick on Pittsburgh Pirates +155
I absolutely love this spot and price with Pittsburgh in Tuesday's series opener against the Cardinals. This is do or die time for the Pirates, who are running out of time to get back in the playoff race. As for St Louis, they are coming off a 5-1 road trip, where they swept the Dodgers and took 2 of 3 at Colorado.
As good as the Cardinals are playing, I think we could see them come out a bit flat here after spending a week on the West Coast. While they did have yesterday off, rest has actually been a negative for this team, as they are just 8-15 in their last 23 home games after a day off. They are also just 1-5 in their last 6 at home against a team with a losing record.
Ivan Nova will be on the mound for the Pirates and he's been really throwing it well of late. In his last 3 starts, Nova has a 2.41 ERA and 0.857 WHIP. I look for another strong out ing here and a Pirates win. Take Pittsburgh!

MLB | Mariners vs Padres
Play on: Mariners -116 at betonline
Jack’s Free Pick Tuesday: Seattle Mariners -116
The Seattle Mariners should be much bigger favorites today against the San Diego Padres. The Mariners are fighting to stay alive for the playoffs, while the Padres are simply coasting to the finish line.
Felix Hernandez hasn’t had his best season, but he did win against the Astros last time out and he is now up against a team he can handle. Hernandez is 6-3 with a 2.90 ERA and 1.076 WHIP in 12 career starts against San Diego.
Jacob Nix is getting a chance to start here down the stretch. He hasn’t performed well at all as Nix is 1-2 with a 6.17 ERA and 1.628 WHIP in three starts this season. He has averaged just 3.9 innings per start.
The Mariners are 37-16 in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. San Diego is 16-45 in its last 61 games overall. The Padres are 5-22 in their last 27 home games. The Mariners are 19-9 in the last 28 meetings in San Diego. Seattle is 6-1 in Hernandez’s last seven road starts against the Padres. Bet the Mariners Tuesday.

MLB | Dodgers vs Rangers
Play on: Dodgers -1½ -135 at 5Dimes
Dave’s Tuesday Free Play:
1* on Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-135) The Key: The Dodgers need wins and fast. They trail both the Diamondbacks and Rockies in the NL West standings and wouldn’t make the playoffs if the season ended today. They did sweep the Padres last series and got their bats going with 23 runs in the 3-game sweep. That should carry over into hitter-friendly Arlington Park in Texas for this brief two-game series that starts tonight. Texas’ Ariel Jurado has been erratic in 6 starts this season, going 2-3 with a 6.40 ERA and 1.55 WHIP with only 12 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings. Walker Buehler is 6-3 with a 2.51 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 16 starts for the Dodgers, including 1-0 with a 0.45 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in his last 3 starts, which have come against St. Louis, Colorado and Seattle, three playoff contenders. The Dodgers should have no problem winning by at least 2 runs tonight. Take Los Angeles on the Run Line.
