Rotation #909-910
Giants -135 over Nationals
Samardzija/Fedde
This price is a little high for my liking, but the Giants do have the better starting pitcher this evening and the bullpen is much better. Games tend to be low scoring at Oracle Park so a bad Nationals bullpen can be all the difference if this game is close going into the later innings. Take the Giants.

Merrill Kelly is struggling big-time, but his best start this season came against these Phillies. This is a huge game for Arizona as the Diamondbacks sit 2.5 games behind the Phils and Nats. They are coming off two straight wins over Washington in which they produced 25 runs. Vince Velasquez has allowed eight homers in his last six starts, and I think Arizona knocks him around here.

TORONTO @ TAMPA BAY | 8/05 | 7:10 PM EDT
3:12 PM
The Tampa Bay Rays are red-hot once again, having won six straight and eight of their last nine. Monday, they’ll face a Blue Jays team that they faced in Toronto last week. That, plus their current win streak and ace Charlie Morton’s dominant 12-3 record, have made Monday's matchup a prime underdog spot. Look for the Blue Jays to cash as big underdogs.

Monday will mark the third straight road series for the Brewers as they travel to face NL Central opponent in the Pittsburgh Pirates. The only pitcher to register a win for the Brewers over their last seven games is newly acquired pitcher Jordan Lyles. The former Pirate seems to be renewed and will get the run support needed Monday. Grab Milwaukee.

Lucas Giolito is 11-5 with a 3.39 ERA this season and 6-2 with a 2.76 ERA on the road. Spencer Turnbull is coming off the IL to make this start and he is 3-9 with a 3.65 ERA including 0-5 with a 4.09 ERA at home. Turnbull isn’t completely stretched out so it should be mostly a bullpen game for the Tigers regardless of how Turnbull pitches. Surprisingly, these pitchers have not faced each other’s team this season. The White Sox are 16-8 as the favorite and 13-8 when Giolito pitches this season. The Tigers are 8-34 as the home underdog and 6-13 when Turnbull starts this season.
