KANSAS CITY -115
PITTSBURGH @ KANSAS CITY | 9/12 | 7:05 PM EDT
3:35 PM
On Saturday the Royals will attempt to win a season-high fifth straight game. Their starting pitcher will be rarely used 23-year old Carlos Hernandez. Expect strong run support for Hernandez as the Royals are red-hot at the plate, especially Maikel Franco who has 10 RBIs in his last five games. Grab Kansas City.

The Lakers have negated the Rockets' small-ball approach for three straight wins and ATS covers. With a limited lineup, the Rockets have had severe breakdowns and lapses. Yet, they’ve fought in each loss and have the veteran makeup to take it one game at a time. Grab Houston as the Lakers bench contributions take a small dip.

CLEVELAND @ MINNESOTA | 9/12 | 8:07 PM EDT

Zach Plesac is 3-1 with a 1.32 ERA this season and he has thrown two quality starts since returning to their rotation. However, he has yet to face the Twins in his young career. Rich Hill is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA this season and he allowed one run to Cleveland in a start earlier this season. The Indians have the fourth worst OPS in the league against lefties.

Julio Urias is 3-0 with a 3.86 ERA this season and he will be facing Framber Valdez who is 3-3 with a 3.61 ERA. Valdez wil be coming off a career-high in runs allowed with eight, although he has pitched seven innings in each of his last four starts. The Astros have lost eight of their last 10 games and they are 6-17 on the road this season.

HOUSTON @ L.A. LAKERS | 9/12 | 8:00 PM EDT
Am I riding the Rockets too long? Maybe. But I thought they showed a lot of life in the fourth quarter and cut a 20-plus point deficit to five before running out of time. I'm playing the Rockets on the moneyline.

CHI. CUBS @ MILWAUKEE | 9/12 | 7:10 PM EDT
12:18 PM
The Cubs offense has been in a funk, scoring three runs or fewer in six of their last eight games. They have also struggled versus lefties all season, ranking 26th in wRC+ 24 percent below average. The Brewers offense has been non-existent all season, ranking 28th out of 30 teams against right-handed pitchers. Kyle Hendricks is the ace of the Cubs staff with a 3.41 ERA. I rate Hendricks 45 cents better than the average pitcher. Take the Under.

HOUSTON @ L.A. LAKERS | 9/12 | 8:00 PM EDT
11:52 AM
LeBron James and company have made all of the right adjustments, holding the Rockets to just 104 points per game over the last three. The Lakers' offense has kicked into high gear, scoring 117, 112 and 110 points respectively over the last three games. Look for Los Angeles to close out the series behind another dominant effort.

COASTAL CAROLINA @ KANSAS | 9/12 | 10:00 PM EDT
11:36 AM
The Chanticleers had 15 spring practices, Kansas had zero. Last year Coastal won in Lawrence, 12-7. Most of the offensive talent from those teams return with Kansas QB Carter Stanley being the biggest exception. Coastal returns 100 percent of its passing yards, 94 percent of its rushing yards, 67 percent of its receiving yards and 69 percent of its tackles. The Chanticleers were 5-1 ATS on the road last year and now have a more experienced team.
