Boston Red Sox @ Cleveland Indians 4:05 PM ET
Eovaldi (10-8) vs Quantrill (4-2)
Both starting pitchers have pitched incredibly well over the last month, so this could be a low scoring game. I like the Indians to win with how dominant Cal Quantrill has been at home.
Pick: Indians

New York Yankees @ Oakland Athletics 4:07 PM ET
Cortes (2-1) vs Montas (9-9)
The Yankees have won 14 straight games now and took the first two games of this series by scoring a total of 15 runs. The A’s are sliding, losers of 6 straight. Today is a must win for the A’s and it might be their best chance this series.
Pick: A’s

Kansas City Royals @ Seattle Mainers 4:10 PM ET
Lynch (4-3) vs Anderson (6-8)
The Royals won the first two games of this series and now have won 7 of 10. Rookie Daniel Lynch has won back to back starts. Tyler Anderson has pitched well his last 3 starts, so take the under in this one.
Pick: Under

Arizona D-Backs @ Philadelphia Phillies 6:05 PM ET
Mejia (0-0) vs Gibson (9-5)
The Phillies got back on track yesterday and need to do so again to keep pace for a chance at playoffs. Kyle Gibson is coming off an 8 inning 1 run performance and should have no trouble today with the D-Backs.
Pick: Phillies -1.5

Toronto Blue Jays @ Detroit Tigers 6:10 PM ET
Manoah (5-2) vs Urena (2-8)
The Blue Jays keep losing, and to teams they should beat if they want to have a chance at playoffs. Even though they continue to disappoint, I’ll take them today behind rookie Alek Manoah.
Pick: Blue Jays -1.5

Cincinnati Reds @ Miami Marlins 6:10 PM ET
Gutierrez (9-4) vs Alcantara (7-12)
The Reds won the first two games of this series but today should be a tougher task against Sandy Alcantara who has pitched 3 straight games with 7 innings and no more than 2 runs in each of those starts. However, Vladimir Gutierrez has 3 straight starts with 6 innings and no more than 2 runs in each. Take the under.
Pick: Under

St Louis Cardinals @ Pittsburgh Pirates 7:05 PM ET
Wainwright (12-7) vs Brault (0-2)
Adam Wainwright is having an incredible month so today’s matchup in Pittsburgh should be no issue. Expect the Cardinals offense to get to the Pirates bullpen early.
Pick: Cardinals -1.5

Tampa Bay Rays @ Baltimore Orioles 7:05 PM ET
Wacha (2-4) vs Means (5-6)
Even with the Orioles having their Ace going, The Rays have won 9 of 10 and are the best team in the AL. Don’t overthink this one. Take the Rays.
Pick: Rays -1.5

Houston Astros @ Texas Rangers 7:05 PM ET
Valdez (8-4) vs Allard (3-10)
Surprisingly, Kolby Allard has 3 straight quality starts. Problem is, Framber Valdez does too though and Houston has a much better lineup.
Pick: Astros

Alex Bregman (3B)
Michael Brantley (OF)
Andy Ibanez (3B)
Washington Nationals @ New York Mets 7:10 PM ET
Nolin (0-2) vs Stroman (9-12)
Marcus Stroman just ended the Dodgers win streak in his last start and should have no issue with this Nats lineup if he stays away from Juan Soto.
Pick: Mets -1.5
Daily Fantasy picks:
Juan Soto (OF)
Pete Alonso (1B)
Javy Baez (SS)
Chicago Cubs @ Chicago White Sox 7:10 PM ET
Mills (5-6) vs Lynn (10-3)
It was quite a slugfest last night in Chicago as these teams combined for 28 runs. Yasmani Grandal returned from the IL to hit 2 homeruns and 8 rbi. Today could be the same story for the White Sox offense but Lance Lynn should roll this Cubs lineup.
Pick: White Sox, over
Daily Fantasy picks:
Ian Happ (OF)
Lance Lynn (SP)
Tim Anderson (SS)
Yasmani Grandal (C)
Milwaukee Brewers @ Minnesota Twins 7:10 PM ET
Houser (7-5) vs Barnes (0-3)
Two struggling starting pitchers square off at Target Field, but the Brewers have the far superior bullpen, which makes me lean towards them.
Pick: Brewers

Christian Yelich (OF)
Luis Urias (SS)
Jorge Polanco (SS)
San Francisco Giants @ Atlanta Braves 7:20 PM ET
Webb (7-3) vs Ynoa (4-3)
The Braves ended the Giants win streak by winning game one. Today they face Logan Webb who has been one of baseball best pitchers over the last 2 months. I really like the under in this one and the Giants.
Pick: Giants, under

San Diego Padres @ Los Angeles Angels 9:07 PM ET
Weather (4-6) vs Suraez (5-7)
The Padres finally got back on track and into the win column yesterday in game 1 but I think the Angles win game 2 as Ryan Weathers has a 10+ ERA over his last 3 starts.
Pick: Padres
Daily Fantasy picks:
Manny Machado (3B)
Jack Mayfield (SS)
Justin Upton (OF)
Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Dodgers 9:10 PM ET
Gray (7-10) vs Price (4-2)
The Dodgers blew their chance to gain a game on the Giants by losing game 1 to the Rockies. I can’t see it happening for a second game in a row at home as Jon Gray has struggled against the Dodgers this season.
Pick: Dodgers -1.5
