MINNESOTA @ N.Y. YANKEES | 08/20 | 7:05 PM EDT
N.Y. YANKEES -1.5
ANALYSIS: We won with the Yankees on the -1.5 run line last night, so why not run it back? Stick with what works! They've won seven in a row with six of those wins coming by at least two runs. Starter Nestor Cortes has been very good most of the year and shut down the White Sox (6 IP, 1 R, 1 BB, 7 K) last time out. He has a 1.45 ERA in Yankee Stadium this year, too. Twins lefty Charlie Barnes was shelled in his only other career road start and the Yankees' beefy offense (using Luke Voit, Anthony Rizzo, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and Joey Gallo together) is a tall order.

ARIZONA @ COLORADO | 08/20 | 8:40 PM EDT
COLORADO -190
ANALYSIS: The only teams in all of baseball with a better home record than the Rockies are the Giants and Dodgers. That's it. The Rockies have won seven in a row and nine of their last 10 at home. They were off Thursday and didn't even have to travel. Austin Gomber returns from the paternity list and while he got hit hard last time out, he's 5-1 with a 1.70 ERA at home. Diamondbacks starter Tyler Gilbert threw a no-hitter last time out in his first career start. He's about to learn was big-league regression is like.

WASHINGTON @ MILWAUKEE | 08/20 | 8:10 PM EDT
MILWAUKEE -195
ANALYSIS: After a post deadline slump, Washington has shown life the past two games driven by its offense. Facing Milwaukee’s Brett Anderson today, Washington avoids the Brewers' top starters and should benefit from Anderson pitching to contact this year. Washington also has the hidden benefit of having been off yesterday while Milwaukee played and lost to St. Louis, 8-4. Rested teams against teams with no rest are 77-63 this season.

CHI. WHITE SOX @ TAMPA BAY | 08/20 | 7:10 PM EDT
TAMPA BAY +1.5
ANALYSIS: I'm a White Sox fan so I hope they win (and probably would go to one of these games if the Trop wasn't such a dump and in an out-of-the-way location), but the Pale Hose are basically a .500 team on the road and the Rays are an absolute juggernaut at home. Yes, Tampa starting pitcher Michael Wacha has been pretty bad lately as Larry Hartstein mentioned on Early Edge in playing a Wacha Under prop, but the Rays have a very deep bullpen and I'm guessing Wacha has an incredibly short leash. On the flip side, the White Sox's Lucas Giolito has been wildly inconsistent. Frankly, whichever team was the underdog I would have taken at +1.5 in this one. Rays it is at -150.

KANSAS CITY @ CHI. CUBS | 08/20 | 2:20 PM EDT
KANSAS CITY +1.5
ANALYSIS: I didn't like backing the Royals as outright moneyline favorites but also didn't like backing the Cubs as ML underdogs or at +1.5 at a big price. This ML has now flipped to where Chicago is favored so now I rather like Royals +1.5. I'm just not sure that Cubs lineup is good enough to win many games by more than one run and Kansas City may well win outright despite losing the DH. KC starter Brad Keller was awful to begin this year but has pitched into the seventh inning in five of his last seven starts and has a 3.83 ERA in those. Chicago's Zach Davies has a 5.18 home ERA.

MINNESOTA @ N.Y. YANKEES | 08/20 | 7:05 PM EDT
N.Y. YANKEES -1.5
ANALYSIS: I generally don't tail other cappers here at SportsLine as like to make up my own mind, but scarily enough Justin Perri made great points on Early Edge (maybe I'll play the lottery today!) about the Yankees RL against the Twins tonight so I'll get on board. Minnesota rookie lefty Charlie Barnes probably will be a bit intimidated in his first-ever start at Yankee Stadium, and he was roughed up in his lone road start so far (Cincinnati). On the flip side, Yanks pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. continues to surprise and has a 1.45 home ERA.
