Back the Phillies to get the sweep behind Zack Wheeler, who's 2-0 with a 2.89 ERA. The Mets should struggle again at the plate and fall to 4-7 on the road.

Robbie Ray has been shelled in three straight outings, allowing six homers and 17 earned runs in 13.1 innings. Look for San DIego to snap its four-game win streak and bounce back from Saturday's dramatic loss.

I understand the Rangers should be the underdog, but they shouldn't be this big of an underdog. In his last start, Texas lefty Kolby Allard allowed two hits and one walk while striking out six in five scoreless innings against the Angels. My model says the Rangers win this game almost 50 percent of the time, so you're getting good value with Texas at this price.

WASHINGTON @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 8/16 | 12:00 PM EDT
12:30 AM
The first two games of this series generated six and seven goals. I'm projecting 5.5 goals for Capitals-Islanders Game 3, giving us solid value on Over 5 despite the -145 juice.

Draw a line through Rick Porcello's first two starts (11 runs in six innings). In his last two starts, he has allowed three runs in 13 innings. My model says the Mets win about 50 percent of the time, so you're getting good value with New York at this price.

#929 - #930 Boston Red Sox - New York Yankees OVER (7:08 edt) ESPN

Look for tons of runs here since these teams can both hit the ball very well and I am not enamored with either of these starting pitchers. And just the fact that these teams always seem to find ways to put up a ton of runs against each other. Go over the total on Sunday Night Baseball.

#917 Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers have been playing better baseball and really a tale of two pitchers with deceiving numbers. Jon Lester is due for a clunker and today I think we see one at Wrigley Field. Josh Lindbloom is due for a breakout game. He has a decent strike out to walk ratio and I’m feeling like we are seeing a Brewers team that is going into a heater. Love the value here as we invest 10 units on rotation #917 Brewers. Starting pitchers Jon Lester and Josh Lindbloom game time 2:20 pm east

PHILADELPHIA @ MONTREAL | 8/16 | 8:00 PM EDT
10:24 AM
Carey Price is leading the way for the Canadiens, giving them a chance in every game. Philadelphia G Carter Hart was pulled early in Game 2 but will show up Sunday in the most important game of the series. The Under is 8-0-1 the Flyers' last nine contests, 7-1 in Montreal's last eight against the Eastern Conference and 15-3-3 its last 21 playoff games as an underdog.

This is the most important game of this series, so look for the Flyers to play their best after falling flat in Game 2. The Canadiens always have a chance to win with Carey Price, who continues to shine as he posted his seventh career playoff shutout. The Flyers are the better team - they are more physical and have better goal scorers. Carter Hart is going to have to play much better after getting pulled in Game 2. Philadelphia hasn't dropped back-to-back games since early January.

VEGAS -1.5
VEGAS @ CHICAGO | 8/16 | 6:30 PM EDT
10:14 AM
The Golden Knights, who look to wrap up this series, have won 11 of the 12 all-time meetings between the teams. It doesn't matter who Vegas has in net, the Blackhawks can't catch any breaks. Patrick Kane is missing wide-open nets and a ton of shots are ringing off the post or crossbar while the Golden Knights continue to cash in on every break. With a chance for a sweep and getting some rest, Vegas crushes Chicago here. The Blackhawks have lost eight straight first-round playoff games.

SEATTLE @ HOUSTON | 8/16 | 2:10 PM EDT
11:56 AM
The Astros are now 18-0 SU as 180-plus home favorites after a game in which they allowed six or fewer hits, winning by an average of 5.72 runs. Wow. The Mariners have shown no heart in this spot, as they are 0-17 SU as 125-plus underdogs in the last game of a series when they are coming off a game as a dog and have lost their last two while their opponent won its last two. Seattle has lost these 17 games by an average of 5.18 runs. Houston should dominate.

MINNESOTA -180
KANSAS CITY @ MINNESOTA | 8/16 | 2:10 PM EDT
11:52 AM
Minnesota took an early lead in its last game, but the Royals came back to win as a big underdog. Kansas City is 0-14 SU before game 100 as a 160-plus dog following a come-from-behind win as a dog. The Twins are 11-0 SU as home favorites after a game in which they issued five-plus walks and 10-0 SU as 125-plus favorites when it is not a series opener and they are coming off a game as home favorites in which they struck out 10-plus times. The Twins should roll.

CHI. WHITE SOX -145
ST. LOUIS @ CHI. WHITE SOX | 8/16 | 2:10 PM EDT
11:42 AM
The White Sox are 13-0 SU as favorites of more than 120 when they are coming off a game in which they scored in two separate innings at the most. The Cardinals are 0-17 SU as 135-plus underdogs when they are coming off a game in which their opponent stranded 10 or fewer baserunners. We expect the White Sox to be sharp here.

TEXAS +125
TEXAS @ COLORADO | 8/16 | 3:10 PM EDT
11:35 AM
The Rockies are “due” here, but they are a disappointing 0-7 SU as favorites against a team that has won at least its last two games. The Rangers are 6-0 in Kolby Allard’s last six August starts. We are taking the plus money.

13-5 IN LAST 18 MLB PICKS | +561

MILWAUKEE +110
MILWAUKEE @ CHI. CUBS | 8/16 | 2:20 PM EDT
11:31 AM
The Brewers are 6-0 SU as road underdogs following a road game in which they did not hit a home run and 9-0 when they are coming off two one-run wins, as long as they were not 200-plus favorites in both of them. The Cubs are 0-8 SU after a one-run home loss. The value is with the Brewers.

L.A. DODGERS -195
L.A. DODGERS @ L.A. ANGELS | 8/16 | 4:10 PM EDT
11:28 AM
The Dodgers are 15-0 SU on the road when their opponent’s starter has an ERA of more than 3.30 on the season and an unforgiving 17-0 before game 100 in the finale of a series against a team that has lost at least three straight. The Angels, on the other hand, are 0-9 SU as a 140-plus underdog in the last game of a home series after a contest in which their bullpen allowed multiple runs. The Dodgers show no mercy.

13-5 IN LAST 18 MLB PICKS | +561
5-2 IN LAST 7 LAD ML PICKS | +203

CLEVELAND -135
CLEVELAND @ DETROIT | 8/16 | 1:10 PM EDT
11:26 AM
Detroit is a brutal 0-19 SU as an underdog in the last game of a home series against a divisional opponent that is ahead in the standings. The Tigers are 1-18 on the run line at an average price of -111. The Indians are a reliable 11-0 SU in the last game of a series as road favorites of more than 130 after a game in which they allowed six or fewer hits. Cleveland’s domination continues.

It's really nice to have somebody like Dustin May waiting in the wings when you have injuries on your pitching staff. Honestly, it's like the Dodgers have a never-ending supply of players better than the players on your favorite team. It's annoying. Anyway, as good as May has been, he doesn't have great strikeout numbers. He'll be facing an Angels offense with plenty of pop. On the other side, Julio Teheran doesn't strike anybody out, either, and is facing an even better lineup. Oh, and it's 92 degrees with the wind blowing out.

OAKLAND @ SAN FRANCISCO | 8/16 | 4:05 PM EDT
12:18 PM
San Francisco has never been a hitter's haven, but today it could play that way. The weather will be hitter-friendly, as will the two starting pitchers. Neither Mike Fiers or Logan Webb strike out a lot of hitters, both can be a bit friendly with the free pass, and they're prone to hard contact. It's not going to play like Coors Field or anything, but it'll be friendlier than usual

CLEVELAND @ DETROIT | 8/16 | 1:10 PM EDT

The Tigers have some pop in their offense, but they also have a lot of swing and miss. Then there are the Indians, who have one of the most feeble offenses in MLB. The only reason this total is this high is because the pitching matchup isn't great, so let's take advantage of it.

I'm unable to post memes as explanations for my picks, so I'm just going to need you to pretend I've posted an "IN THIS HOUSE WE FADE ROBBIE RAY" meme. I'm putting props on any Padres righty in the lineup to hit a dinger as well. Ray is the Three True Outcome pitcher. It's either a strikeout, walk, or a home run.

The Indians have now won 20 of the last 21 games they have played against the Tigers. Adam Plutko has pitched well this season and he is 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA while it will be mostly a bullpen game for the Tigers. Take the value in the Tribe.
