Taijuan Walker is making just his third start back from TJ surgery, and he showed it in his last outing. Jordan Lyles will be starting for the Rangers and he is 1-1 with a 5.56 ERA this season. Both these pitchers have struggled so far this season, and both these teams are capable of hitting the over by themselves. Take the Over.

The Twins bats came alive last night early in the game but they cooled off while the Brewers took the lead. They’ll have their best pitcher to start the season in Kenta Maeda starting, he is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA this season. Eric Lauer gave up six runs in the first inning of his season debut in his first outing. Take the value in the Twins.

Dylan Cease has four wins in his short career, and three of those wins have been against the Tigers. He has only given up two earned runs in his last two starts. Matt Boyd has struggled to start the season and the White Sox have the sixth highest OPS against lefties in the league. Take the value in the White Sox.

N.Y. ISLANDERS @ WASHINGTON | 8/12 | 3:00 PM EDT
12:24 PM
The Caps are hoping to get John Carlson back for Game 1 today against the Islanders, and he will be much needed for breakouts from their defensive zone. The Caps have the significant advantage in offensive power and they know the Barry Trotz system of the Isles. Braden Holtby has looked much better in net, I am on the Caps.
PHILADELPHIA -180
BALTIMORE @ PHILADELPHIA | 8/12 | 7:05 PM EDT
12:07 PM
The Orioles were able to get the Phillies on Tuesday night but I wouldn't go expecting history to repeat itself. The Baltimore offense is legit and shouldn't be dismissed, but tonight's O's starter Wade LeBlanc is a batting practice pitcher who somehow found a spot in an MLB rotation. The Phillies are going to launch some bombs tonight.

CHI. CUBS @ CLEVELAND | 8/12 | 6:10 PM EDT

There's plenty of value to be had here. The Indians offense has been nonexistent in 2020. They rank last in baseball in slugging and OPS, and are doing slightly better in wOBA, ranking 29th. Their pitching is wonderful, but Carlos Carrasco is prone to the dinger and he's facing a Cubs lineup that has been in the top 10 in HR rate this season despite a lot of key players slumping. The Cubs are the smart play. Well, as long as they keep Craig Kimbrel away from a late lead, anyway. Fingers crossed!

TAMPA BAY @ BOSTON | 8/12 | 7:30 PM EDT

There are a combination of factors at play with this pick. One is the pitching matchup that will see Zack Godley going against Blake Snell. Godley, to be blunt, has been awful since the start of 2019. He doesn't strike anybody out, and he walks nearly everyone else. Not a great combination. As for Snell, he gets the strikeouts, but also loses his command too often. So there will be runners on base in this game, and combined with weather conditions that typically see the ball carry at Fenway, we're going to see a lot of people touching home plate tonight.
OAKLAND -105
OAKLAND @ L.A. ANGELS | 8/12 | 4:10 PM EDT
This price looks off by about 20 cents as the Angels go for the sweep after ending the A’s nine-game win streak. Oakland beat the Angels 3-0 in Chris Bassitt's first start of 2020. The A’s have won all three of his starts this season with him allowing just two runs total. All three of his starts have stayed Under as well. A’s bounce back today.

UNDER 5.5
MONTREAL @ PHILADELPHIA | 8/12 | 8:00 PM EDT
11:54 AM
The Flyers enter as the East's top seed after posting a 3-0 in round-robin games, while the Canadiens upset the Penguins behind the excellent play of Carey Price in net. The Flyers' Carter Hart wasn't too shabby, either, winning both of his round-robin starts and allowing just two goals. Both teams have struggled since the restart on the power play, as the Canadiens are 0-for-12 while the Flyers are 0-for-11. These are two very good defensive teams and very physical, so this should be a low-scoring game. The Under has cashed in six straight for Flyers.

TORONTO @ PHILADELPHIA | 8/12 | 6:30 PM EDT

The 76ers are battling a ton of injuries. Toronto has only lost once since the restart, and even if the Raptors sit starters, their bench is more than capable. Philly is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 as a dog. Lay the points.

OAKLAND @ L.A. ANGELS | 8/12 | 4:10 PM EDT

The A's are trying to avoid a sweep and they're the better overall team. Chris Bassitt is in much better form than Canning Griffin. Look for Oakland to improve to 11-4 in its last 15 matchups with the Halos.

MINNESOTA -125
MINNESOTA @ MILWAUKEE | 8/12 | 7:10 PM EDT

The Twins have lost five of six but this looks like a favorable matchup. Kenta Maeda is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA while Eric Lauer was shelled in his only start. The Brewers are 1-7 in their last eight games following a win. Play on Minnesota.
L.A. CLIPPERS -4.5
L.A. CLIPPERS @ DENVER | 8/12 | 9:00 PM EDT
The Clippers have been off the last two days and won’t play again until Friday, so I’m not overly concerned with them resting players or giving their stars limited minutes. They still are missing Patrick Beverley (calf) and Montrezl Harrell (personal), but the Nuggets also will be short-handed with Will Barton (knee) and Gary Harris (hip) out. Neither team really has stood out in the bubble, but with the expectation that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are a full-go for this contest, I like the Clippers to cover.
