The Milwaukee Brewers are my free play tonight, as they're getting a plus price against the Cincinnati Reds, who have lost four in a row.

The Brewers have won two straight and are creeping up on the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central. At 13-15, remember they're nearing the midway point of the 60-game season. They need to improve their game at home, where they're just 4-6 on the year.

The Refs have lost 10 of 16 on the road, and even worse, are 3-8 against teams with a sub-.500 record this season.

I'll take the price here and ignore the pitching matchup, as the Brewers are in the right spot on their own field.

Rolling into this one on a 16-6 run with complimentary MLB plays.

Is it ludicrous to think the San Francisco Giants can do something they've rarely done since Clayton Kershaw entered the league, beat him and the Los Angeles Dodgers? Probably, but considering how the Giants won last night and that Frisco is riding a seven-game win streak, I'm taking the major plus price in this game.

San Francisco has climbed out of the cellar in the National League West, and has a bit of momentum flowing its way.

The Giants' offense has come to life and is now ranked eighth in the league with a .257 batting average. At home, the Giants have the third-best batting average, at .281. On the flipside, the Dodgers are hitting just .232 on the road, 18th overall in the league.

I know the Giants are sending Kevin Gausman to the hill, and he's a journeyman whose best days are likely behind him, but the sun shines on a dog's ass once in awhile. He can still bring heat, and if he can just give the Giants enough time to build a lead, and get to the bullpen, I think we have a shot at chasing Kershaw.

Let's roll with the home pup tonight.
