MLB | BOS vs CLE
Play on: UNDER 10½ -105
Take Under the Total in the game between the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians listing both starting pitchers Eduardo Rodriguez and Zach Plesac. Boston (62-57) looks to bounce-back from a 5-4 loss in 10 innings against the Los Angeles Angels yesterday. The Red Sox have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. Boston has also played 9 of their last 13 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. Cleveland (70-47) comes off a 7-3 win in Minnesota yesterday. The Indians have then played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. Cleveland has also played 5 straight games Under the Total at home. Take the Under while listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

MLB | Astros vs White Sox
Play on: White Sox +260 at 5Dimes
1* Free Play on White Sox +260
As big-time home dogs, the White Sox (52-64) will attempt to defend their diamond as the Astros (77-41) come to town this evening.
The White Sox, who trail the Twins and Indians in the AL Central, are winners of six of their last 10. Chicago will be hoping shortstop Tim Anderson can continue his nine-game hitting streak in this one.
To start, the White Sox will give the ball to Dylan Cease (2-4, 6.00 ERA). The right-hander won his last outing against the Tigers after giving up just two runs in five innings. Cease has never faced the Astros.
Right-hander Zack Greinke (11-4, 3.08 ERA) is scheduled to make his second start for Houston. Although he won his debut with the club, Greinke allowed a three-run homer and five total runs in six innings. In 10 career starts against the White Sox in Chicago, Greinke is just 2-7 with a 6.16 ERA.
The Astros look vulnerable when it comes to closer Roberto Asuna, who’s blown five saves in 31 opportunities. The Astros lost in walk-off fashion in their most recent game when Asuna allowed a two-run homer to the Orioles yesterday.

MLB | Pirates vs Angels
Play on: Pirates +139 at 5Dimes
1* Free MLB Pick on Pittsburgh Pirates +139
I like the value here with Pittsburgh as a decently priced road dog against the Angels. I know the Pirates come in having lost 8 straight and are just 4-24 since the All-Star break, but it's not like LA is lighting it up. Sure the Angels won the final two at Boston to split their 4-game series with the Red Sox, but they are just 4-12 in their last 16 games.
One thing to note is the Pirates had a big day at the plate in yesterday's loss, scoring 9 runs on 13 hits. They also saw slugger Josh Bell hit 2 homers (29 on the year) after going without a single homer in his previous 26 games. Sluggers tend to be streaky and I'm willing to bet Bell stays hot, especially against the likes of Jose Suarez, who has a 6.22 ERA and 1.597 WHIP in 10 starts.
Angels have lost 5 of Suarez's last 6 starts vs a team with a losing record, are just 2-7 in their last 9 home games and have lost 5 straight series openers. Pirates are 43-14 in their last 57 interleague games vs a team with a losing record, including a 6-1 mark in their last 7 interleague road games. Take Pittsburgh!
