MLB | Tigers vs Royals
Play on: Tigers +105 at BMaker
It's no secret both teams have struggled this season. However, Matt Boyd has been the more consistent pitcher this season. The Royals struggle in day games, with a 14-27 record. Look for the Tigers to pick up the road win here.
Pick Rating: ***

MLB | WAS vs MIL
Play on: OVER 9 -101
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Game #957 Wednesday Free Pick OVER the total in Milwaukee Brewers vs Washington Nationals @ 2:10 ET - The Brewers Freddy Peralta has great numbers on the season but he has not been as sharp of late. The Milwaukee right-hander has walked 9 batters in the 14 and 2/3 innings spanning his last 3 starts and the over is a perfect 3-0 in those outings. He'll be opposed by a hurler whom is struggling even more than he is. Tanner Roark gets the call for the Nationals here. The Washington right-hander is 0-3 with a 9.56 ERA in his last 3 starts. Miraculously, despite his struggles, Roark's most recent start stayed under the total but he entered that start with the over having gone 4-1 in his 5 prior outings. Each of the first two games in this series stayed under the total but the over was 7-3 in the Brewers 10 games prior to this series. Also, Washington entered this series having averaged scoring 5.3 runs per game in their 4 prior contests with the over having gone 3-1 in those 4 games. Based on the pitching match-up in this one, and with yesterday's game just missing going over the total, I see a lot of value in this one in terms of expecting double digits for runs here! Free Pick OVER the total in Milwaukee

MLB | Twins vs Blue Jays
Play on: Blue Jays -108 at 5Dimes
My Bonus Play is on the Tor Blue Jays at 7:05 ET. The 46-53 Minnesota Twins (46-53) hope to cap a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays (46-54) at Rogers Centre on Wednesday, after 8-3 (Mon) and 5-3 (Tue) wins the last two days. Minnesota has answered a three-game slide with back-to-back victories, as Eduardo Escobar belted a three-run HR in Tuesday's 5-0 romp to improve to 4-for-7 with three extra-base hits and five RBI in the series. Meanwhile Toronto has managed just three runs in consecutive losses, after erupting for 17 in a three-game sweep of sad-sack Baltimore.
Ervin Santana went 16-8 with a 3.28 ERA for the Twins in 2017, after winning winning just seven games in both 2015 and 2016 for Minnesota. The 35-year-old vet returns from a lengthy absence due to surgery to remove calcium deposits from his right middle finger in February. He will be activated off the disabled list to make his season 2018 debut and make his 20th career start against Toronto (he is 6-7 with a 3.84 ERA in his career against the Blue Jays). Santana is expected to give Minnesota a jolt after allowing one run over six innings in a rehab start on Friday, dropping his ERA to 3.72 in seven starts at three levels in the minors.
Toronto's Sam Gaviglio (2-3, 4.59 ERA) will oppose Santana. He saw his winless skid reach 10 outings on Friday, after allowing four runs on seven hits over a career-high 7 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Orioles. Gaviglio served up two HRs vs Baltimore and has now allowed 12 'big flys' in his last 11 outings. In two career starts against the Twins, both coming season, he is 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA (team went 1-1).
This marks the final meeting of the season between the teams (the Twins lead 3-2) and while Gaviglio will be looking for his first win since May 25 (he is 0-3 with a 5.33 ERA in 10 starts since / team is 5-5), I will favor the Jays in this one. Santana is returning after having a calcium deposit removed from his right middle finger on Feb 6 and his velocity might be a concern. His fastball was usually timed at 89-90 mph during his seven rehabilitation appearances. "It was a lot of ups and downs, but the good thing is I kept my mind positive," Santana said. "It's crazy. But at the same time, it was a surgery. You can't predict when you're coming back because you didn't know how the finger was going to react and all that." No sweep here. Take Toronto.

y Wednesday comp play is the Over in the Dodgers-Phillies finale.
Yesterday, these teams played a very long 16 innings of baseball before it was decided, as the Phils gutted out a 7-4 win that landed Over the total.
That Over puts the first pair of this concluding 3 game series Over the total, and also puts the season series Over mark at 4-1-1 the 6 times these teams have faced one another this year.
With Walker Buehler sporting an over 4 ERA for his last 3 starts, and the Over banking in 2 of those 3 assignments, and Jake Arrieta fresh off 5 runs - 4 of them earned - allowed in his last start against the Padres at home, I have a feeling we may be seeing some runs this afternoon to conclude this set.
Throw in both bullpens having been used up in last night's marathon, and now having to come back to play this day game after a long night affair, expect there to be enough offense to land this one Over the total.
3* L.A. DODGERS-PHILADELPHIA OVER
