MLB | A's vs Astros
Play on: A's +168 at YouWager
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Oakland A’s +168
The Oakland A’s have been one of the most underrated teams in baseball all season. They are clinging on to the 2nd wild card at 84-59 on the season and only 1.5 games ahead of the Indians. They need this game more than the Astros, who already have the AL West locked up. I like the price we are getting with Mike Fiers here tonight. Fiers is 14-3 with a 3.46 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 29 starts this season. Zack Greinke is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in his last three starts for the Astros. The A’s are 7-1 in Fiers’ last 8 road starts. Oakland is 28-10 in Fiers’ last 38 starts overall. The A’s are 47-23 in their last 70 games overall. Oakland took three of four from Houston in their last series against them. Give me the A’s.Comment

MLB | Indians vs Angels
Play on: Indians -1½ -110 at 5Dimes
Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-110)
The Cleveland Indians are currently on the outside looking in when it comes to the postseason. They are 1.5 games back of the second wild card spot in the American League. This series means a lot more to them than it does the Angels, who are 4-12 in their last 16 games overall and have nothing to play for but pride.
The Indians have the edge on the mound tonight behind Shane Bieber, who is 13-7 with a 3.23 ERA and 1.002 WHIP in 29 starts this season. Bieber has been at his best on the road, going 8-4 with a 2.85 ERA and 0.815 WHIP in 13 starts away from home.
Patrick Sandoval is 0-2 with a 5.23 ERA and 1.452 WHIP in five starts for the Angels. He is only averaging 4.1 innings per starts, so the Indians should get into the Angels’ woeful bullpen (4.75 ERA) early in this one.
The Angels are 0-6 in home games after scoring one run or less this season. The Indians are 18-6 in Bieber’s last 24 starts vs. a team with a losing record. Cleveland is 14-5 in Bieber’s last 19 road starts. The Angels are 3-13 in their last 16 vs. a team with a winning record. Cleveland is 22-5 in the last 27 meetings. Bet the Indians on the Run Line Monday.Comment

Chi Cubs vs. San Diego, 09/09/2019 22:10 EDT
Money Line: +131 San Diego
Sportsbook:
PinnacleSports
Quantrill the Padres starter has been in a funk over his last couple of starts but was 4-1 with a 1.31 ERA during a six-game stretch, before his current 3 game losing streak. Also Quantrill according to my power rankings matches up well vs the Cubs as was evident when he gave up just two hits in 5 2/3 scoreless innings this last July 21 . The young Stanford product has also performed well at home where he is 4-2 with a 4.17 ERA this season.CHICAGO CUBS are 12-26 (against the money line in road games vs. a team with a good bullpen whose WHIP is 1.350 or better this season.
Note the Cubs are on a 3 game losing streak and have a hard luck pitcher on the hill of late Hendricks who has better home splits than away . The righty is 4-7 with a 5.20 ERA on the road this year, compared to 5-2 with a 1.77 ERA at home. HENDRICKS is 0-6 against the money line vs. teams whose hitters draw 3 walks or less/game in the second half of the season this season. (Team's Record)
Cubs are 0-4 in Hendricks' last 4 road starts vs. a team with a losing record .
Cubs are 2-6 in Hendricks' last 8 road starts.Cubs are 2-7 in Hendricks' last 9 starts vs. a team with a losing record.
MLB Home teams (SAN DIEGO) - ice cold hitting team - batting .225 or worse over their last 15 games against opponent ice cold hitting team - batting .230 or worse over their last 20 game are 83-41 L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors.

COMPLIMENTARY WINNER
Everyone is betting the New Orleans Saints, so naturally, for my free pick, I'm going against the public and taking the underdog Houston Texans. I mean, let's be real here, the Saints are always going to be a threat offensively, but the Texans are being picked by many to win the AFC South. They're not a bad football team.
On one side of the ball, you have quarterback Deshaun Watson, who became the first QB in NFL history to pass for 4,000 or more yards (4,165) and 25 touchdowns (26), while rushing for 500 yards (551) and five TDs (5) in a season. Yeah, he is dangerous. He makes things happen, and brings up those around him.
Running back Duke Johnson makes his team debut, and is just as dangerous coming out of the backfield, as he is one of two running backs with 40 or more catches and 400 yards receiving in each of the past four seasons.
On defense, sure containing Drew Brees and the boys will be tough, but we have J.J. Watt leading the charge, and lest we forget he led the AFC with 16 sacks and had a career-high 7 forced fumbles in 2018. He has four seasons with 15 or more sacks, and became the second-fastest player to reach 90 sacks (102 games). Knowing how important it is to set the tone for his entire team, Watt will make a statement early.
And Brees has to deal with Houston's talented secondary, including cornerback Johnathan Joseph and safety Justin Reid.
This will be a much better game than the oddsmakers are prescribing, and I'm playing the underdog to get it done.
