MLB | White Sox vs Astros
Play on: Astros -182 at 5Dimes
Take the Houston Astros with the money-line versus the Chicago White Sox listing both starting pitchers Corbin Martin and Lucas Giolito. Chicago (22-26) won the third game of this series last night by a 9-4 score. But the White Sox have then lost 4 straight fourth games of a new series. Chicago has also lost 4 of their last 5 games against right-handed starting pitchers. Houston (33-17) has rebounded to win 5 of their last 6 games after a loss. The Astros have also won a decisive 40 of their last 52 games against right-handed starting pitchers. Take Houston with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.Comment

NBA | Raptors vs Bucks
Play on: Raptors +7 -109 at GTBets
1* Free NBA Pick on Toronto Raptors +7
I really like the value here with Toronto and the points in Game 5. Both teams are going to play this like a Game 7 and I just don't get why the Raptors are such a big dog in this one. Keep in mind they were a 6.5-point dog in Game 1 at Milwaukee and a 6-point dog in Game 2.
They should have won Game 1, as they were in control for most of that game, only to get outscored 32-17 in the 4th quarter of a 108-100 loss. I wasn't surprised at all to see Toronto get rolled in Game 2 after blowing the series opener. Toronto responded as any great team would, winning both Game 3 and Game 4 at home.
Needless to say, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Raptors won this game outright. Also, the underdog has covered 8 of the last 11 in the series. Take Toronto!Comment

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS
STREAKING
Lucas Giolito, Chicago White Sox (5-1, 3.35 ERA, $585): Giolito has bounced back from a bit of a rocky start and is dealing at the moment. The right-hander has pitched to a 0.93 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP while limiting opponents to a .225 on base percentage over his past three starts. Unfortunately, those opponents have been the Indians and Blue Jays twice and things will be a little tougher tonight when he faces off against the Astros. The White Sox are currently +162 road dogs for tonight’s game.
SLUMPING
Matthew Boyd, Detroit Tigers (4-4, 3.41 ERA, $176): The Tigers’ southpaw has cooled off a bit after a hot start to the season. In Boyd’s last two starts he has allowed seven earned runs on 12 hits (including four dingers!) in just 10.1 innings. His strikeouts are also down as he also only has 10 punchouts in those 10.1 innings. That equates to an 8.81 strikeouts per nine innings as opposed to 11.27 in his first eight starts. Tonight Boyd and the Tigers are -160 home favorites against the visiting Marlins.
3 STRIKES
MONEY MAN
Jordan Lyles gets the start this afternoon for the Pirates and no starter has been more profitable for bettors this season. Lyles has made his backers $780 this season (based on $100 wagers) in his eight starts this season. The right-hander has been a pleasant surprise for the Buccos, pitching to a 1.97 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP this season. He and the Pirates are currently -136 home favorites against the visiting Rockies.
RARE CHALK
The Tigers are currently -156 favorites for this afternoon’s interleague matchup with the visiting Marlins, which on the surface seems to be nothing remarkable. Teams are -150 home favorites all the time, right? Well, unless you are the Tigers. Detroit hasn’t been this big a favorite since April 22nd of 2018 when it hosted the Royals. What’s even crazier about that is that the Tigers starter was Francisco Liriano.Comment
