MLB | A's vs Astros
Play on: Astros -147 at pinnacle

My free play is on the Hou Astros at 8:10 ET.
The Houston Astros won 100-plus games from 2017-2019, winning the AL West division each season while advancing to two two World Series in that span (won in 2017 and lost in seven games to the Nats in 2019). However, Houston fell to 29-31 in 2020's pandemic-shortened season, but due to an expanded playoff field, made the postseason. Houston's postseason run lasted all the way to Game 7 in the ALCS against Tampa Bay, where the Astros fell ONE win shy of making their THIRD World Series in four seasons. The Oakland A's won the AL West in 2020, the team's THIRD straight postseason (A's were a wild card team in 2018 and 2019). The two teams were expected to battle for the division's top spot in 2021 and that's where we sit now, coming off the July 4th holiday weekend.
Neither team played Monday and now Oakland (49-37) opens a three-game series in Houston (52-33) starting tonight. The A's led the AL West by 2 1/2 games on June 16 but since a June 18 win in New York against the Yankees, the A's have dropped 10 of 15 games. Meanwhile, the Astros won 11 in a row from June 13 through June 24. Houston followed that winning streak by losing FIVE of six but just completed a four-game sweep over the Indians in Cleveland to give them a season-best 3 1/2-game lead in the AL West. Game 1 of the series goes tonight with Oakland sending Chris Bassitt (9-2, 3.04 ERA) to the mound to face Houston's Framber Valdez (5-1, 2.18 ERA).
Bassitt showed very little in his first four MLB seasons, going 4-14 with a 3.88 ERA over 40 appearances (30 starts). However, he showed some 'life' in 2019, going 17- with a 3.30 ERA in 39 appearances (36 starts). That brings us to 2021, when Bassitt was Oakland's Opening Day starter. He lost his first two starts of the season but the A's have gone 13-2 over his last 15. He is 9-0 with a 2.74 ERA and a .202 opponent batting average over those last 15 starts, giving him the longest winning streak in the majors this season. The left-handed Valdez made 45 appearances (23 starts) from 2018-20, going 13-11 with a 4.19 ERA. He was expected to be in the starting rotation this season but he suffered a fractured left ring finger after he was hit in the hand by a ground ball in a spring training game. That delayed his 2021 debut until May 28 (4 IP / 1 ER). He took a no-decision in that one but has won FIVE of six since, posting a 2.18 ERA.
It's not easy going against Bassitt but he "can't win them all," right? Expect Bassitt to have trouble against a Houston lineup that is 31-18 vs right-handed starters in 2021, including 24-11 in night games, averaging 5.5 RPG. As noted above, Valdez has been sharp since the beginning of June plus the A's are not exactly playing great baseball coming in.
Good luck...Larry

MLB | CWS vs MIN
Play on: UNDER 8½ -103

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Rotation #972 Tuesday Free Pick UNDER the total in Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox @ 8:10 ET - These pitchers just faced each other on the 1st of the month and both had surprising sub-par starts. However, Carlos Rodon is 4-0 with a 1.71 ERA this season in road starts and those 7 outings have resulted in 5 unders and just 2 overs. Jose Berrios had allowed an average of just 2 earned runs per start over his last 6 starts that preceded the rough one at Chicago. He should bounce back at home where he generally is a much tougher pitcher. As long as the rain stays away, look to cash in a pitchers duel here. Free Pick UNDER in Minnesota

Milwaukee @ Phoenix (9:05 PM EST)
Play On: Phoenix -6 -105
The Milwaukee Bucks travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns in Game 1 of the NBA finals on Tuesday night! Milwaukee is 65-41 SU overall this year while Phoenix comes in with a 70-25 SU overall record on the season. Phoenix has been a covering machine this year going 60-33 ATS overall. They woke up last year when they played in "the bubble" in Orlando during the Covid shutdown when they had the best record there. That spilled over into this season as they make it to the NBA Finals and have been strong all season. Phoenix is 37-14 SU and 33-17 ATS this year when playing against a team with a winning record. Phoenix is a strong 33-11 SU at home this season. Phoenix is 5-1 SU and ATS overall vs Milwaukee the past 3 years including 3-0 SU and ATS at home. Phoenix is 19-5 SU last 24 meetings at home vs Milwaukee. Phoenix is back healthy while Giannis is listed as doubtful for Game One. We'll recommend a small play on Phoenix tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Play on: Red Sox -114 at linepros

Jack's Free Pick Tuesday: Boston Red Sox -114
The Boston Red Sox have gone 10-1 in their last 11 games overall to get to 54-32 on the season. They have been one of the most underrated teams in baseball in 2021. And I believe that to be the case again Tuesday as short road favorites against the Los Angeles Angels.
The Angels are missing two of their best hitters in Mike Trout and Justin Upton, and they could be without another in Anthony Rendon, who sat out yesterday with a hamstring injury. The Red Sox have stayed remarkably healthy this season which is a big reason for their success.
Nathan Eovaldi is a guy I can get behind for the Red Sox. He is 9-4 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.188 WHIP in 17 starts this season, including 2-0 with a 0.61 ERA in his last two while allowing just one earned run in 14 2/3 innings. He'll be opposed by Shohei Ohtani, who didn't make it out of the 1st inning against the Yankees last time out and allowed 7 earned runs.
The Angels are 3-13 in their last 16 games following a one-run loss, including 1-8 in their last nine games when revenging a one-run loss. Los Angeles is 19-54 in its last 73 games vs. a starting pitcher with a 1.200 WHIP or better. Boston is 22-7 in its last 29 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Red Sox are 6-1 in their last seven meetings in Los Angeles. Bet the Red Sox Tuesday.

Play on: Red Sox -106 at Draft Kings

1* Free Sharp Play on Red Sox -106
The Red Sox (-106) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Angels. Boston is playing great baseball going into the All-Star break. Red Sox have won 10 of their last 11. They will send out the red-hot Nathan Eovaldi, who has a 1.93 ERA and 1.291 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Eovaldi is also 4-1 with a strong 3.08 ERA in 5 road starts. Shohei Ohtani will go for LA and while he's been really good on the mound, he's got a 6.39 ERA and 1.579 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Play the Red Sox -106!

Play on: Giants -120 at linepros

FREE PICK - San Francisco Giants -120
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 962
I'll take my chances with the Giants as a slim -120 home favorite against the Cardinals on Tuesday. San Francisco will have Johnny Cueto on the mound. He's got a strong 2.81 ERA and 1.008 WHIP in 7 home starts. Last time at home, he threw 7 shutout innings against the A's.
Adam Wainwright will start for St Louis. While Wainwright comes in hot, he's not someone you can trust on the road. Wainwright has a 5.35 ERA and 1.366 WHIP in 6 road starts.
Giants lost 3-5 as a massive -210 favorite on Monday, which sets up a very profitable system with SF. The Giants are a perfect 9-0 in 2021 when revenging a home loss as a favorite. Give me San Francisco -120!

Play on: Giants -124 at pinnacle

Tuesday MLB Free play. My selection is on San Francisco over St. Louis at 9:45 pm et on Tuesday.
The Cardinals bats came alive late in a 5-3 victory over the Giants to open this series yesterday. I look for the Giants to answer back on Tuesday.
Adam Wainwright gets the nod for the visiting Cardinals. He has certainly pitched well lately but still checks in sporting a 5.35 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in six road starts this season with the Cards losing four of those games. After recording a whopping 19 strikeouts in a two-start stretch, Wainwright had just four K's last time out. He was pitching on just four days' rest in that one and will do so for the second straight start here.
Lost in yesterday's victory was the fact that the Cards bullpen struggled again, giving up three earned runs in just two innings of work. The Cards 'pen has posted a 4.52 ERA and 1.46 WHIP on the road this season.
Johnny Cueto will counter for San Francisco. He's been a different pitcher at home compared to on the road this season, recording a 2.81 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in seven home starts with the Giants winning five of those games.
Behind Cueto is a Giants bullpen that has been outstanding here at home, posting a collective 3.05 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with an incredible 15-3 save conversion rate. Take San Francisco (8*).
