EXPERT VERDICT: Since their last meeting in 2013, United have gone backwards while Real have become champions of Europe on three occasions. Continuity has proven to be king for a number of sides and whereas Jose Mourinho has overseen a total overhaul of his squad, Zidane can challenge for honours with a settled side that is brimming with world-class talent.
RECOMMENDATION: Real Madrid

EXPERT VERDICT: Colchester can be resilient on their own patch and punters should tread carefully when Aston Villa come calling in the EFL Cup. The U’s lost just five of 23 League Two homes games last term and Villa may make significant changes in personnel.
RECOMMENDATION: Colchester

EXPERT VERDICT: Dens Park plays host to a League Cup derby for the second time in ten days and another draw looks the bet. The Blues began their Premiership campaign with a 2-1 home loss to Ross County while United, who prevailed on penalties in that group-stage meeting, won 1-0 at Inverness in the Championship.

EXPERT VERDICT: Bury might be a modest League One outfit but it’s hard to trust Sunderland and the Shakers should make them work hard on their trip to Gigg Lane. The hosts lost more home games than any other team in their division last term, but the discontent in the Sunderland camp makes them vulnerable.
RECOMMENDATION: Draw

MLB | LAD vs ARI
Play on: UNDER 9½ -119
Game Analysis
1* Bonus Play UNDER Dodgers/Diamondbacks.
Recent form displayed by these starting pitchers suggests that runs could be at a premium tonight.
Kenta Maeda: He’s 10-4 with a 3.79 ERA. Maeda comes in off a gem against the Braves on Tuesday, going seven scoreless with six K’s. Over his last six outings he’s gone 5-1 with a tiny 2.20 ERA. With Clayton Kershaw and Brandon McCarthy both on the DL, Maeda’s recent form will keep him in the starting rotation for now.
Zack Godley: He’s 5-4 with a 2.86 ERA. Godley most recently gave up three hits and two walks over six scoreless frames while striking out five in a victory over the Cubs on Wednesday. Godley has now posted 13 scoreless innings over his last two starts and note that he’s been particularly effective at home this season by going 2-1 with a 3.08 ERA.
The bottom line: All signs point to a classic “pitchers duel” between these NL foes on Tuesday night.
Consider the UNDER.

MLB | MIL vs MIN
Play on: OVER 10 -107
Game Analysis
The total pushed here last night at 9 between these two teams and that was with a lot better pitchers on both sides. Now the Twins send out Mejia the lefty who has struggled at home with a 5.20 ERA. He has made it 5 innings once in the past 3 games and that is because of his command issues having 7 walks in that 3 game stretch in only 13 innings of work.
The Brewers will send out Garza who is in good form, but with 2 of those games against the Phillies I'm not looking much into those games. The key here is that the Brewers really have good success swinging the bats against left handed pitching scoring 5.5 runs a game.

Play on: UNDER 8 -102
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Free Pick Tuesday UNDER the total in Cleveland Indians vs Colorado Rockies @ 7:10 ET - Two pitchers in excellent form coupled with a total that has moved up from a 7.5 to an 8 is offering excellent line value here with the under. The Rockies are averaging only 4.3 runs per game over their last 7 games even though most of those have been at home at hitter-friendly Coors Field. As for the Indians, they've been held to 2 runs or less in 4 of their last 7 games and this could be another one of those types of games tonight. The Indians are facing German Marquez for the first time and the Rockies are 5-0 in his last 5 starts and he has held batters to a .230 batting average in those outings while also piling up the strikeouts. Overall the Rockies are 12-3 in the last 15 starts that Marquez has made and he has allowed just 12 hits in the 20 innings spanning his last 3 starts. Corey Kluber has also been in top form for the Tribe as the right-hander has struck out at least 8 batters in 12 straight starts. Also, he's has tallied double digits in strikeouts in 10 of those 12 outings. Incredibly, Kluber's last 10 starts have featured 8 where he threw at least 7 innings while allowing no more than 5 hits. Complete dominance and the other key to this match-up favoring both pitchers is that these lineups will feature hitters who have little to no experience against the fire-balling hurlers they are facing today. Also, the under is 25-14 this season in Rockies games against teams with a winning record. The under is 22-15 in Indians games against teams with a winning record this season. Free Pick UNDER the total in Cleveland early Tuesday evening. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

Play on: Diamondbacks +114 at GTBets
10* FREE MLB PICK (Diamondbacks +114)
Arizona is worth a look here as a home dog against the Dodgers. I know LA is the best team in the league, but this Diamondbacks team is extremely difficult to beat at home, where they are 36-18 on the season. Arizona also sends out one of the more under the radar starters in Zack Godley, who has a 2.86 ERA in 15 starts and comes in red-hot with a 1.93 ERA over his last 3 starts. Godley didn't allow a run in his last 2 outings, which were at St Louis and Chicago. He's faced the Dodgers once this season and held them to 1 run over 5 2/3 innings. LA sends out Kenta Maeda, who has a 1.06 ERA in his last 3 starts, but has faced a favorable schedule during this stretch. Maeda still has a 4.74 ERA in 9 road starts and a 4.47 ERA in 8 career starts against Arizona. In his two starts against them this year, he's allowed 10 runs on 13 hits (5 HRs) in just 9 innings of work. Give me the Diamondbacks +114!

Play on: Cardinals -117 at betonline
Rating: 5/10*
The St. Louis Cardinals have scored a total of 24 runs through their last two games. I think they'll keep raking tonight when facing the Royals' Jason Vargas on the mound.
Vargas (13-5, 3.10 ERA) is s 1-3 with a 6.85 ERA through his last five starts, and he has posted a 4.09 ERA in four career meetings with the Cards. Matt Carpenter is 4-for-4 against the left-hander, and he is batting .451 at Kauffman Stadium throughout his career. We can also note that the Cardinals are 7-2 in their last nine games vs. a left-handed starter.
The Cards turn to Michael Wacha (8-4, 3.66 ERA) who is 2-1 with a 2.42 ERA in four previous meetings with KC, and he is 5-1 with a 1.90 ERA through his past seven starts.
The Cardinals are 28-11 in the last 39 meetings at Kauffman Stadium.

This won't be a total that jumps off the page to anyone as neither team is known for a great offense. Well, the A's have really started to heat up averaging 6 runs a game over their last 7. Now they catch Miranda who they have already had success against this year.
The A's counter with Graveman and while he does have decent numbers at home in just 4 games I think they are a little off. He is coming off a brutal outing vs the Giants only lasting 2 innings. In his last 3 games he has gave up 23 hits in just 14 innings. Need less to say his ERA during those 3 games is 7.98.

Play on: OVER 9 -120
The Seattle Mariners are hoping a change of uniform will provide a spark for newly acquired Yonder Alonso when they continue their pursuit of a postseason berth in Tuesday's opener of a two-game set at the Oakland Athletics. The Mariners are 4-3 on their nine-game road trip and are only one game behind the Kansas City Royals for the second wild card spot in the American League.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners LH Ariel Miranda (7-5, 4.41 ERA) vs. Athletics RH Kendall Graveman (2-3, 4.96)
Miranda went 5-0 during a nine-start unbeaten streak from April 28 to June 10, allowing two runs or fewer eight times, but has won only once over his last nine turns (1-3). His drought reached five starts when he took the loss last time out at Texas, giving up five runs (four earned) in 5 2/3 innings. Miranda had his shortest start at Oakland on April 22, yielding four runs on seven hits in three innings.
Graveman had a forgettable performance in his return to the rotation following 2 1/2 months on the disabled list, getting rocked for seven runs on eight hits in two innings at San Francisco. He allowed six runs in his first four starts in April, but missed the Seattle series with his first trip to the DL because of a strained shoulder. Nelson Cruz has tormented Graveman, going 11-for-17 with a home run.
Over is 5-1 in Mirandas last 6 starts overall. Over is 13-3 in Athletics last 16 games following a win.

MLB | Padres vs Reds
Play on: Reds -137 at betonline
This might seem like a big number to be laying on the Reds, but I like the value with Cincinnati in this spot at home against the Padres. San Diego is an awful road team, come in 1-4 over their last 5 and have no incentive here. More than anything, I'm looking to fade Padres starter Luis Perdomo, who is 1-4 with a 4.57 ERA and 1.742 WHIP in 8 road starts this season (1-7 team record). Not to mention Perdomo comes in having allowed 9 runs on 16 hits and 4 walks over his last 2 starts against some mediocre offenses in the Twins and Mets.
Cincinnati put up 11 runs in yesterday's 8-run win and should be able to score a bunch in this one. While the offense continues to roll, Reds starter Sal Romano should be able to keep a strugling Padres offense in check. Romano has been throwing well of late, as he owns a 2.87 ERA over his last 3 starts.
Reds are 14-5 in their 19 home games this season against a team that has a batting average of .250 or worse (Padres .235).
Take Cincinnati!
