Comp winner for Monday on the Giants and Dodgers to hold Under as they open a critical series at Dodger Stadium tonight.
The Giants come in having landed Under the total in their last pair of games and in 5 of their last 7 games overall, while the Dodgers have also played Under the total in their last pair of games.
The last 2 series meetings between these division-rivals have also held Under the total and the pitching matchup of Kevin Gausman versus Tony Gonsolin would also suggest looking low is the way to go.
Gausman's season ERA is just 1.73, while 4 of Gonsolin's 6 starts this year have played Under the total.
Monday comp play is the Jays as the favorite in their big division clash against the Red Sox.
The Red Sox were definitely a surprise division-leader at the All-Star Break, but perhaps they are regressing to the norm that was last season, as the Red Sox did just lose 2 of 3 at Yankee Stadium over the weekend and have now lost 6 of their last 8 games overall!
Toronto is on a modest 3 game winning tear and they have scored 10 runs in each of their last pair of games.
The Jays have won 2 of the past 3 season series meetings with the Sox and with Toronto getting some solid pitching performances of late and Boston starting to feel the pressure of their first prolonged losing slide, expect the Blue Jays to draw first blood tonight.
Event: (965) Boston Red Sox at (966) Toronto Blue Jays Sport/League: MLB (See all free MLB picks) Date/Time: July 19, 2021 7PM EDT Play: Total Over 10.5 (-115) N Pivetta (RHP), R Stripling (RHP) Must Start
Ross Stripling has pitching twice against Boston and he has thrown 9.1 innings, and given up 10 earned runs including 4 home runs. In those two games the final totals were 11 and 10. Pivetta has also started twice against Toronto and in those games he pitched 10 innings and gave up 10 earned runs including 4 home runs. The scores in those games were 9 and 15. So these teams have put up lots of runs when these starting pitchers facing each other. Both current lineups are hitting well against these pitchers as the Red Sox have a .284 BA in 71 plate appearances against Stripling, and 6 different players have hit home runs against him. The Blue Jays have had individual success against Pivetta as they have a .348 BA, an 11.73 OPS in 51 plate appearances with 4 different batters hitting home runs. This play is a fade on these pitchers with two dominating batting lineups ready to take advantage.

The Blue Jays remain red-hot after the All-Star break, going 3-0 SU the past three days and winning by a combined score of 25-2 versus Texas. Meanwhile, the Red Sox benefitted from facing a Covid distracted Yankees squad on Friday and won 4-0, but only had five hits in that game. Boston's offensive struggles continued over the weekend, going 0-2 SU and being outscored 12-2 with only five hits in each game once again.

Event: (953) New York Mets at (954) Cincinnati Reds Sport/League: MLB (See all free MLB picks) Date/Time: July 19, 2021 7PM EDT Play: New York Mets +103 J Eickhoff (RHP), V Gutierrez (RHP) Must Start 953 New York Mets at 954 Cincinnati Reds -115, 11
There’s no way to be subtle about the situation that Major League Baseball is currently in. The drama surrounding foreign substance vs. the three most common results of at-bats this season, home run, walk, or strikeout, speaks to the 2021 MLB Climate. Cincinnati was swept by Milwaukee this past weekend. Over the past four seasons, the Brew Crew have a 22-10 record at GABP.
National League East New York Mets (48-42) square off against the Cincinnati Reds (48-45) at Great American tonight. The Metropolitens Jerad Eickhoff (0-1, 4.97 ERA) opposes the Redlegs Vladimir Gutierrez (4-3, 4.29)
The Reds have fallen seven games off the pace in the National League Central race and 5.5 games behind the San Diego Padres for the final Wild Card spot. At this point, there isn't a lot to like about either team. The Mets have placed their ace, deGrom, on the IL and the Reds bullpen is exactly where the front office left them in this offseason, as damaged goods. Unfortunately, that space is not one that investors can support. Free Pick is a play on the short road underdog Eickhoff and the Mets.
Event: (961) San Francisco Giants at (962) Los Angeles Dodgers Sport/League: MLB (See all free MLB picks) Date/Time: July 19, 2021 10PM EDT Play: San Francisco Giants Total Over 3.5 (-120) K Gausman (RHP), T Gonsolin (RHP) Must Start
Gonsolin has a good ERA but his WHIP is 1.30 and generally he pitches better on the road than at home. The Giants have been held to 1 vs the terrible Cardinals but in prime time vs a heated rival they should be able to heat up. They also get Crawford back, he was actually back last night but he was awful, with the rust off he should be ready to get into form as well. LA's bullpen is not very good and the Giants hit 5th best in MLB vs RHP. Take the Giants with 9 at bats to go over 3.5.
