MLB | White Sox vs A's
Play on: White Sox -115 at 5Dimes
My “Cutting Room Floor” are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my officials plays today for subscribers. The last play on my cut list for this afternoon is on the Chicago White Sox with the money-line versus the Oakland A’s listing both starting pitchers Lucas Giolito and Jesus Luzardo. Chicago (35-25) limps into the postseason having lost seven of their last eight games after their 10-8 loss to the Cubs on Sunday. But the White Sox have then won 19 of their last 27 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game. Chicago has also won 23 of their last 31 games as a road favorite. Oakland (36-24) has lost five of their last eight games going into the playoffs but their slide is a bigger concern since they are without their start third baseman Matt Chapman. The A’s have also lost 9 of their last 17 games without Chapman. Oakland has lost 4 of their last 5 playoff games at home — and they have lost 8 of their last 10 playoff games as an underdog. Take the White Sox with the money-line listing Luzardo and Giolito. Best of luck — Frank.

MLB | White Sox vs A's
Play on: White Sox -110 at jazz
Jack’s Free Pick Tuesday: Chicago White Sox -110
The Chicago White Sox (35-25) finished just one game behind the Oakland A’s (36-24), but they’re the No. 7 seed while the A’s are the No. 2 seed. The White Sox didn’t finish strong, but they don’t mind this matchup with the A’s in the first round.
Chicago purposely set things up so that ace Lucas Giolito would get to take the ball in Game 1, and we’ll back him here. Giolito was at his best on the road this season, going 2-0 with a 2.79 ERA and 1.034 WHIP in five starts away from home.
Lefty Jesus Lazardo is 3-2 with a 3.83 ERA and 1.216 WHIP in nine starts this season for the A’s. He only averages 5.5 innings per start and the A’s don’t have a bonafide ace like the White Sox do. This Game 1 should go to Chicago.
The White Sox are a perfect 14-0 against left-handed starters this season, outscoring opponents by 3.7 runs per game. Chicago is 23-8 in its last 31 games as a road favorite. The White Sox are 14-5 in Giolito’s last 19 road starts. Bet the White Sox Tuesday.

The Tuesday MLB Comp play is on Oakland at 3:00 eastern. Oakland and Chicago finished within one game of each other but Oakland has played better vs winning teams going 5-2 of late compared to 1-6 like Chicago. The sox are 1-5 off a loss while Oakland is 6-1 in games where the total is 7 to 8.5. Giolito has been good allowing 8 runs in his last 17 innings. He will oppose bright young righty Luzardo who has electric stuff and is followed by the #1 bullpen Era in the American league. Oakland has won. 5 of the last 6 between the two teams. For the MLB Comp play. Take Oakland. Rob V

MLB | Blue Jays vs Rays
Play on: Blue Jays +177 at YouWager
Dave’s Tuesday Free Play:
1* on Toronto Blue Jays +177 The Key: I really like the price we are getting on the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 of this series against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays earned the No. 1 seed in the American League, but they are very beatable. And the Blue Jays went 6-2 over their final 8 games and scored 4 runs or more in 7 of them. Matt Shoemaker has never lost to the Rays, going 4-0 with a 2.56 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 7 lifetime starts against them. Blake Snell is 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 11 starts for the Rays this year. He’s good, but he should not be nearly a -200 favorite against Shoemaker and the Blue Jays. Take Toronto.

MLB | TOR vs TAM
Play on: OVER 7½ +100
OVER 7.5
Game 1 of the AL Wild Card series between the Jays and the Rays goes off at 5pm ET on Tuesday. This is a matchup between two solid offensive teams.
The Blue Jay’s have put up at least 5 runs in 6 of their last 8 games, and they are above average against left handed pitching.
Toronto’s starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker has struggled a bit this year. He is 0-1 with a 4.71 ERA. He was held out of his last regular-season start to keep him fresh for today. He won't go deep into the game, but the Jays will have a bullpen plan in place to pick up where he leaves off. That plan could include No. 1 prospect Nate Pearson.
Rays starter Blake Snell has pitched well this year. Snell allowed two runs over 7 2/3 innings in two starts against the Blue Jays this season. In 13 career starts against Toronto, Snell has posted a 2.81 ERA. This will be the first Game 1 start of Snell's career.
I think this total is set a little low for two teams that are capable of putting up runs.
Take the over.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

MLB | Yankees vs Indians
Play on: Yankees -103 at 5Dimes
PICK - New York Yankees -103 RATING: 30* ROT#: 931
I like the value here with the Yankees in Game 1 of their playoff series against the Indians. Cleveland's Shane Bieber is going to win the AL Cy Young and maybe the MVP. Thing is, the Indians only have a slight edge, if any, with the Yankees sending out Gerrit Cole.
Note that Cole was much better than Bieber down the stretch. Cole had a 0.86 ERA and 0.619 WHIP in his last 3 starts, while Bieber had a 2.75 ERA and 0.915 WHIP.
The other big thing is how these pitchers have performed against the opposing side. Cole has a 2.50 ERA and 0.750 WHIP in 5 career starts against the Indians. While Bieber has only made two starts against New York, he's got a 8.30 ERA and 1.615 WHIP. Give me the Yankees -103!

MLB | NYY vs CLE
Play on: UNDER 6½ -108
932 NY Yankees at Cleveland
Totals this low are tough to stay under, but here we have the hottest pitcher in baseball and the pitching triple crown winner. Cole has a 1.00 ERA dealing to Higashioka, Bieber has been locked in all season. Both relief staffs are among the best with the Indians leading all of baseball. Stanton and Judge are back in the lineup, but not performing well as of yet. Let's expect this to be a low scoring intense contest with runs being extremely hard to come by.
