There's a lot of interest in the Over, but this is a huge total considering eight of Texas' last nine games would have stayed Under this. Devin Smeltzer got rocked last time out but pitched well in four of his previous five appearances. Go Under.

Dereck Rodriguez has had a terrible time dealing with the Diamondbacks. In four appearances this season covering four innings, he's allowed seven hits, two walks and four earned runs for a 9.00 ERA. Arizona starter Alex Young has been impressive at home, allowing six hits over 16 innings with a 3.38 ERA. Lay it.

Sure, Aaron Sanchez has been great since being acquired by the Astros at the trade deadline. But he'll need to be great again on Thursday because the Houston bullpen is shorthanded after having played three games in two days. Top set-up men Ryan Pressly and Will Harris have pitched the last two days, and Astros manager A.J. Hinch rarely uses them three days in a row. Meanwhile, A's starter Mike Fiers has allowed just four earned runs in 14.1 innings in his last two starts against his former team. Roll the dice with underdog Oakland at a nice price.

It wasn't long ago that the Mets won eight in a row and 15 of 16 games. Starter Marcus Stroman has dominated the Braves in his only two starts against them, going 2-0 and allowing just one run in 12.2 innings. Meanwhile, Atlanta starter Julio Teheran has given up nine runs in 13.1 innings across three starts against the Mets this season. Take the Amazins to avoid the sweep in Atlanta.

The Cardinals' Michael Wacha is 12-1 with a 2.79 ERA in 21 career appearances against the Reds, including 17 starts. In addition, he has won his last six starts at Great American Ball Park. St. Louis has a bit of momentum going, winning five straight, while Cincinnati has lost four in a row. This is a great price on the Cardinals.

My numbers suggest a maximum of nine runs will cross the plate Thursday between the Mets and Braves, offering a profitable position on the Under against a total of 10. My projections see the Under hitting in 62 percent of simulations. The Braves are 4-1 to the Under when Julio Teheran pitches on full rest and have played Under in five straight at home against opponents with winning records. The Under also is on a 4-1-1 spurt in this series.

Michael Wacha is 6-5 with a 5.54 ERA this season but he has won seven straight appearances at Great American Ballpark. Sonny Gray is 7-6 with a 3.10 ERA this season and 6-2 with a 3.39 ERA at home. The Reds have lost four in a row while the Cards have won five in a row. Take the value in the Cardinals.

Mike Fiers is 11-3 with a 3.30 ERA this season and he is 7-2 with a 2.54 ERA at home. Aaron Sanchez is 5-14 with a 5.60 ERA this season but he has only given up one run in two starts since being traded to the Astros. The Astros bullpen is taxed after a DH that included a bullpen game and the As are 37-23 at home. Take the value in the As.

Dereck Rodriguez is 4-6 with a 5.32 ERA this season and he is being called up from Triple A to make his first start since August 1st. Alex Young is 4-2 with a 3.32 ERA this season and he is 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA at home. In his only start against the Giants, he gave up one earned run in five innings pitched. The Giants have the third worst OPS in the league against lefties, lay the home favorite.
