CINCINNATI @ CLEVELAND | 08/09 | 6:10 PM EDT
CINCINNATI -177
ANALYSIS: The Indians have lost three straight behind Sam Hentges. He allowed 14 earned runs across those starts and didn’t make it out of the fourth in any of them. Since May 29, Luis Castillo has been one of the best NL starters, allowing two runs or fewer in 10 of his 13 starts, and the Reds have won his last three. The Reds also have a five-game win streak with the NL wildcard in sight. Take the Reds to win.

N.Y. YANKEES @ KANSAS CITY | 08/09 | 8:10 PM EDT
N.Y. YANKEES -177
ANALYSIS: Look, I get it. The Yankees' offense is not to be trusted right now, especially with Anthony Rizzo out, and Aroldis Chapman is hurt. Those factors mean the odds trimmed down to a workable play, though. The Yankees are the far superior team and Jameson Taillon takes the hill. Taillon has a 1.45 ERA while holding opponents to a .182/.247/.303 slash in his last six starts -- and though his year-long splits show he's far worse on the road, four of those six starts came on the road. He gets a Royals' offense that is 14th of 15 AL teams in runs and 13th in OPS.

MILWAUKEE @ CHI. CUBS | 08/09 | 8:05 PM EDT
MILWAUKEE -180
ANALYSIS: The odds aren't nearly enough in favor of the Brewers here. They are the much better team and it's not even close. Freddy Peralta has been dominant this season. In four previous starts against the Cubs, he's pitched to a 2.14 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 33 strikeouts in 21 innings. Overall, he's been one of the best pitchers in baseball, allowing an MLB-best 4.2 hits per nine innings. These aren't the same Cubs that he stifled earlier this season, either. They are far worse after trading three of their best bats. They've lost 10 of their last 12 and are a good team to ride. Strike while the iron is hot and pick the Cubs to lose.

FEATURED PICK

CINCINNATI @ CLEVELAND | 08/09 | 6:10 PM EDT
CINCINNATI -160
ANALYSIS: This is a one-game makeup series. One would think I had learned my lesson on the Reds and their gas-can bullpen, but they are rolling right now (nine games over .500 for first time in eight years) get to add the DH and have the massive edge on the mound with Luis Castillo over Sam Hentges (7.86 ERA). Castillo had a 7.33 ERA this year in his first 11 starts and it's 1.70 in his past 10. Cleveland is 2-7 in its past nine home games vs. a team with a winning record.

N.Y. YANKEES @ KANSAS CITY | 08/09 | 8:10 PM EDT
KANSAS CITY +157
ANALYSIS: The Yankees are missing key players in Gleyber Torres and Anthony Rizzo tonight and must leadoff Brett Gardner because of it. Jameson Taillon has been very good lately even on the road, but when he does struggle, it is on the road and I think he is due for a bad outing. Carlos Hernandez has allowed just one run in his last 11 .1 IP all against the White Sox. The Royals are much better at home at 28-25, take the value in the Royals.
