Jack’s Free Pick Tuesday: Toronto Blue Jays +100


The Boston Red Sox are in a massive letdown spot here Tuesday. They just swept the Yankees in four games to take a commanding 9-game lead on them in the division. They won’t be up for Game 1 against Toronto tonight.


The Red Sox will also be sending their worst starter to the mound in Drew Pomeranz. The left-hander is 1-5 with a 6.56 ERA and 1.800 WHIP in 10 starts this season. Pomeranz is also 3-2 with a 4.75 ERA and 1.879 WHIP in seven career starts against Toronto.


Marcus Stroman has been pitching much better of late since returning from injury. He has allowed 3 earned runs or fewer in six of his last eight starts, including 2 or fewer in five of those. He is also 4-3 with a 4.14 ERA in 11 career starts against Boston.


The Red Sox are 1-4 in Pomeranz’s last five starts. Boston is 1-5 in Pomeranz’s last six starts vs. AL East opponents. The Blue Jays are 5-0 in their last five games following an off day. Toronto is 4-0 in Stroman’s last four starts when working on 5 days’ rest. Bet the Blue Jays Tuesday.

Dave’s Tuesday Bonus Play:


1* on Cincinnati Reds +100


The Key: Sal Romano is the better starter in this matchup with Jason Vargas and the New York Mets. Romano is 1-1 with a 4.34 ERA in his last 3 starts and 6-9 with a 5.15 ERA in 21 starts this year. Romano is 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA in 3 lifetime starts against the Mets as well. Jason Vargas has been awful this year, going 2-7 with an 8.23 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in 11 starts. Vargas is 0-2 with a 10.81 ERA and 2.06 WHIP in his last 3 starts, and 1-1 with a 6.28 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 3 lifetime starts against the Reds. Take Cincinnati.

MLB | Yankees vs White Sox
Play on: Yankees -1½ -115 at 5Dimes


Yankees (run-line)


The New York Yankees got exactly what they needed from newcomer Lance Lynn in the series opener and hope for a similar effort from CC Sabathia on Tuesday when they visit the Chicago White Sox for the middle contest of their three-game set. New York snapped its season-high five-game losing streak on Monday behind Lynn, who yielded two hits and registered nine strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings in his first start with the team.


PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees LH CC Sabathia (6-4, 3.59 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Reynaldo Lopez (4-9, 4.47)


Sabathia lasted only three innings at Boston on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks while throwing 77 pitches in a no-decision. The 38-year-old Californian, who will be pitching on the road for the fourth time in five turns, has gone 0-1 with a 6.38 over his last four overall outings. Sabathia, whose road ERA (4.75) this season is more than two runs higher than his mark at home (2.69), is 19-6 with one complete game and a 3.78 ERA in 35 career starts against Chicago.


Lopez's winless streak reached five starts on Thursday, but his four-turn skid came to an end as he came away with a no-decision against Kansas City after allowing two runs and five hits over seven innings. The 24-year-old Dominican, who hasn't won since July 1 at Texas, surrendered 21 runs on 27 hits and 13 walks over 21 2/3 frames during his losing streak. Lopez will be facing New York for the first time in his career.


Look for the Yankees bats to keep it going and for Sabathia to pitch well tonight.


Yankees are 9-2 in Sabathias last 11 starts after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. White Sox are 2-9 in Lopezs last 11 starts after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

MLB | Astros vs Giants
Play on: Giants -102 at 5Dimes


1 Unit Bonus Play on San Francisco Giants -102


The San Francisco Giants blew a save last night and lost 3-1 to the Astros. They should bounce back with a win Tuesday behind ace Madison Bumgarner. The left-hander is 4-4 with a 2.97 ERA in 11 starts this season, including 3-2 with a 2.01 ERA in six home starts. Bumgarner is also 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA in five previous starts against the Astros. Dallas Keuchel is just 9-9 with a 3.68 ERA in 23 starts this year. Keuchel is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA in one previous start against the Giants. San Francisco is 4-1 in Bumgarner’s last five home starts. Give me the Giants.

MLB | Padres vs Brewers
Play on: Brewers -1½ +115 at 5Dimes


1* Free Pick on Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 (+115)


Milwaukee should have no problem winning here by at least 2 runs when they host the Padres in Tuesday's series opener. The Brewers will have a decisive edge on the mound in this one, which is exactly what you are looking for when taking the -1.5 run line.


Chase Anderson will get the nod for Milwaukee and he's been on an absolute tear of late. Anderson has a 2.08 ERA over his last 8 starts. He was outstanding against the Padres in his lone outing against them this season, allowing just 1 hit over 7 shutout innings. He'll be facing off against San Diego's Clayton Richard, who is trending in the wrong direction. Richard posted a 7.50 ERA over 5 starts in the month of July and comes in with a 10.38 ERA and 1.769 WHIP over his last 3 outings.


Padres are just 4-10 against the run line after a day off and just 5-13 in Richard's last 18 starts as an underdog. Brewers on the other hand are 15-6 in Anderson's last 21 starts against the run line when he starts at home in a night game. Take Milwaukee -1.5!
