Play on: UNDER 7½ -110

1* Free Pick on Mets/Dodgers UNDER 7.5
I don't see either team having much success at the plate in Wednesday's series finale between the Dodgers and Mets. LA will send out Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has been better than expected after returning from a lengthy stint on the DL. Ryu has posted a 2.42 ERA since returning on Aug. 15th and is coming off a great start at home against the Diamondbacks, where he allowed just 2 runs on 4 hits in 7 innings. That lowered Ryu's ERA at home to 1.77. He's also got a sensational 1.69 ERA and 0.938 WHIP over 5 career starts against the Mets.
New York will counter with Zack Wheeler, who was one of the best the NL had to offer in the month of August. Wheeler posted a 1.13 ERA over 6 August starts. He pitched at least 7 innings in all but one of those outings and didn't give up more than 2 runs in any start. He comes into this one with a 0.86 ERA and 0.905 WHIP in his last 3 starts.
UNDER is a perfect 5-0 in Wheeler's last 5 starts against a team with a winning record and 6-2 in the Mets' last 8 vs a left-handed starter. UNDER is also 7-1 in Ryu's last 8 home starts and 6-1 in the Dodgers last 7 at home vs a right-handed starter. Take the UNDER!

Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: St. Louis Cardinals +111
The St. Louis Cardinals should not be underdogs to the Washington Nationals today. I backed them as dogs yesterday as my free pick, and I’m back on them for many of the same reasons. The Cardinals simply have more to play for than the Nationals at this point.
Plus, St. Louis has the clear advantage on the mound in this one. Miles Mikolas is 13-4 with a 2.96 ERA and 1.108 WHIP in 27 starts this season for the Cardinals. He beat the Nationals in his only start against them back on August 13th, giving up just 5 base runners in 7 innings.
Tanner Roark is 8-13 with a 3.93 ERA in 27 starts for the Nationals this season, including 4-7 with a 4.88 ERA in 13 home starts. Roark has never been able to figure out the Cardinals, going 2-2 with a 6.16 ERA and 1.789 WHIP in four career starts against them.
The Cardinals are 13-3 in their last 16 road games. St. Louis is 6-1 in Mikolas’ last seven starts. The Cardinals are 5-1 in Mikolas’ last six road starts. St. Louis is 7-0 in Mikolas’ last seven starts during Game 3 of a series. The Cardinals are 9-2 in Mikolas’ last 11 starts vs. a team with a losing record. The Nationals are 1-7 in their last eight during Game 3 of a series. Washington is 2-8 in Roark’s last 10 home starts vs. a team with a winning record. Bet the Cardinals Wednesday.

Dave’s Wednesday Free Play:
1* on Los Angeles Angels -119
The Key: The Los Angeles Angels have a big edge on the mound tonight over the Texas Rangers. Jaime Barria is 9-8 with a 3.46 ERA in 21 starts this season, including 5-3 with a 2.77 ERA in 10 road starts. Barria is 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts against the Rangers, all of which have come this season. He has yielded just 2 earned runs in 16 innings across those 3 starts. Bartolo Colon is 7-11 with a 5.59 ERA in 23 starts this season, 4-4 with a 5.94 ERA in 11 home starts, and 2-1 with a 7.41 ERA in his last 3 outings. Colon is also 0-3 with a 14.81 ERA in his last 3 starts against the Angels, yielding 17 earned runs and 7 homers in 10 1/3 innings. Take Los Angeles.

Play on: Mariners -1½ -114 at pinnacle

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Seattle Mariners -1.5 (-114)
The Seattle Mariners are in must-win mode right now. They cannot afford to be losing to the lowly Baltimore Orioles at this point in the season, which is what happened yesterday. They have some ground to make up on the A’s in the wild card. I like their chance of winning by at least two runs today over the Orioles. Mike Leake is 8-9 with a 4.25 ERA in 27 starts this season and is the better starter in this matchup. Andrew Cashner is 4-13 with a 4.86 ERA in 26 starts, including 2-7 with a 5.27 ERA in 13 road starts for the Orioles. Leake held the Orioles to 2 runs in 7 innings of a 4-2 victory in his only start against them this season. Cashner is 1-1 with a 6.06 ERA in his last three starts against the Mariners with 11 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings. The Orioles are 24-64 in their last 88 games overall, including 13-47 in their last 60 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Mariners are 5-0 in Leake’s last five starts vs. a team with a losing record. Seattle is 7-1 in Leake’s last eight starts following a loss in their previous game. Give me the Mariners on the Run Line.

MLB | Yankees vs A's
Play on: A's +147 at YouWager

My free play is on the Oak A's at 10:05 ET. The A's will host the Yankees tonight in the rubber match of this three-game series. Oakland won 6-3 on Monday and then the Yankees scored five runs over the final three innings in Tuesday's 5-1 triumph to move 4 1/2 games ahead of Oakland in the wild-card race. The A's managed only two hits in Tuesday's defeat, falling 3 1/2 games behind first-place Houston in the AL West but they remained 5 1/2 games ahead of the Mariners for the second wild-card spot.
Tonight's pitching matchup is an excellent one, with Luis Severino (17-6, 3.32 ERA) going for New York and Mike Fiers (10-6, 3.38 ERA) going for Oakland. Severino's 17 wins ties him with Kluber (Cle) and Snell (TB) for the most in MLB and his moneyline mark of plus-$822 (Yanks are 22-6 in all of his starts) ranks 14th among all starters. He has won two straight decisions, after a stretch during which he lost four of five. Severino is 1-0 with a 3.50 ERA in three career starts against Oakland, with the lone victory coming at home on May 13 when he gave up one run on five hits over six innings.
Fiers may be "just" 10-6 with Detroit and Oakland combined, but he owns MLB's best moneyline mark at plus-$1667. The Tigers were 13-8 in his starts and since he came to Oakland, the A's are a perfect 5-0 in his starts! Fiers is 1-1 with a 5.54 ERA in five career starts against New York, with both decisions coming this season while with the Tigers.
Severino is the more accomplished pitcher but Fiers has not lost since July 13 at Houston, going 4-0 with a 2.57 ERA over his last eight starts (teams are 7-1). Also, the fact that the Yankees have won only seven of their last 24 visits to Oakland puts me on the A's in this one.
Good luck...Larry

Play on: Blue Jays +122 at BMaker

1* Free Sharp Play on Blue Jays +122
It's been a brutal first two games of the series for Toronto, who lost 7-1 on Monday and 4-0 on Tuesday, but I like their chances of avoiding the sweep and cashing in a win at home on Wednesday. The Blue Jays will send out Aaron Sanchez for this one and he's enjoyed facing off against the Rays, as he's got a 2.03 ERA over 6 career starts. We also see that the Rays are a mere 6-25 in their last 31 road games after allowing 1 run or less in 2 straight games and 0-8 this season on the road after allowing 2 or fewer runs in back-to-back games. Toronto on the other hand is a perfect 8-0 in their last 8 home games after scoring 2 runs or less in 2 straight games. Bet the Blue Jays +122!
