Brewers vs. Reds
10* FREE MLB PICK (Over 9)
I'll take my chances with the Reds/Brewers combining for at least 10 runs in Sunday's series finale. These two have combined for at least 10 runs in each of the first 3 games of the series and scoring conditions will be ideal in this one. Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park is one of the best hitter parks in the game and the ball should be flying out of the stadium today with the heat index approaching 100 degrees. Not only does the ball fly better, but the pitchers just run out of gas faster and tend to make a few more mistakes in the heat. Give me the OVER 9!

1* Free Pick on Indians/A's OVER
I like the value here with the OVER in Sunday's MLB action that has the A's hosting the Indians. Should be a good day for the hitters, as the wind will be blowing out to right at close to 15 mph. Cleveland is also due for an offensive explosion after scoring just 3 runs in their last 2 games and 2 or less in 4 of their last 5.
I like their chances of snapping out of their funk against the A's struggling Frankie Montas, who has a 7.20 ERA and 2.267 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Indians will counter with Mike Clevinger, who is coming off a sub-par outing at St Louis. Clevinger only gave up 2 runs, but only lasted 5 innings, walked 2 and struck out just 4 after racking up 21 strikeouts in his previous 2 starts.
OVER is 7-2 in the A's last 9 home games against a team with a winning record and 9-1-1 in the last 11 games where Angel Campos has been the home plate umpire. Take the OVER!

Cleveland at Oakland
The Indians had won seven straight until starting their 10-game road trip in Oakland where the A's have taken the first two games of the series and now have won six games in a row themselves But, the Indians are ready to break out in Oakland today behind Mike Clevinger (6-3, 3.03 ERA) who is 3-2 with a 2.39 ERA in eight road starts this season. Take CLEVELAND!

Today, my free winner is on Toronto winning big, over a dejected Detroit squad.
Though pitchers are automatically listed when making Run Line wagers, I am insisting you DO NOT worry about who the scheduled starters are. In the event of a scratch, you MUST re-wager the game with the new pitcher(s) who are scheduled. This play will stand no matter who pitches for either team.
That's because the Tigers have lost 11 in a row and are now in third place in the lowly American League Central. They're now 9 1/2 games back of the Cleveland Indians and a horrible 13-27 on the highway this season.
The Tigers arrived in the 6 after losing 4-2 to the Oakland Athletics at Comerica Park on Thursday afternoon, while the Blue Jays took the day off. Well-rested, Toronto has proven to be much fresher than Detroit this weekend.
Last month the Jays hit .258, eighth-best in the league, while their 40 home runs ranked fifth in baseball in June.
None of this bodes well for the Tigers, who took two of three from the Jays in Motown back on June 1-3. No doubt Toronto is in revenge-mode, and undoubtedly will be looking for the three-game sweep against one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball.
Detroit's 4.79 ERA in June was the fourth-worst in baseball. Tigers pitchers also allowed the fifth-most home runs this month, having given up 40 in June.
Toronto wins in a rout.

My free winner for tonight is on the Oakland Athletics against the Cleveland Indians, as we're getting a fantastic price with a team streaking out of the weekend.
While we are all aware the Indians are sitting atop the American League Central, we should also acknowledge it is the worst division in baseball. The Central has one team with a record better than .500 - Cleveland. But in the A.L. West, only one team has a record worse than .500, and that's the Texas Rangers.
Oakland, which has won six in a row, is now 22-20 at home and comes into this one with an extended win streak of 10-2 after last night's win over the Tribe. The Athletics are a dominating 16-4 against teams out of the Central, while the Indians are mired in an 8-14 slide against the feisty and competitive teams from the West.
And with an offense that ranked fourth last month with 144 runs scored, I think we're going to see the home team revved up this afternoon at the plate.
Take the small home underdog, and don't bother listing pitchers.

Event: (907) Atlanta Braves at (908) St. Louis Cardinals
Sport/League: MLB
Date/Time: July 1, 2018 2PM EDT
Play: Atlanta Braves +104
Mike Foltynewicz has now reached the point where he's even putting up decent results when he doesn't have his command. Absolutely one of the true breakout guys this season. John Gant is off a seven inning shutout effort for the Redbirds, but it was misleading as he issued five walks along the way. He benefitted from a ridiculous .059 BABIP in that game. Cant looks like a good bounce candidate here. Bullpens are roughly even, and actually so are the offenses, but the Atlanta attack is better right now. Braves will be a popular choice here and might well go off the chalk, but at even money I'm on the Atlanta side.
