MLB | Dodgers vs Rangers
Play on: Rangers +149 at BMaker
1* Free Pick on Texas Rangers +149
This is simply too good a price to pass up on the Rangers at home with Mike Minor on the mound. Minor has been one of the Texas' best starters this season and he's coming into this matchup with a strong 2.41 ERA and 0.696 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He's also been at his best this year at home, where he's got a 3.33 ERA and 1.027 WHIP in 12 starts.
Last time out Minor completely shutdown a hot A's team, allowing just 1 hit over 6 shutout innings. It's been a wise move backing Minor off a strong outing like that, as he's 26-10 against the money line in his last 36 starts after allowing 1 or fewer runs in previous start. Minor is also an impressive 23-13 in his last 36 as a dog of +150 or less.
Alex Wood will take the mound for the Dodgers and he's not fared well in this spot. Wood is just 3-7 in his last 10 as a favorite of -150 or more and 9-17 in his last 26 when his team is riding a winning streak of 3 or more games. LA is also 0-4 in his last 4 interleague starts. Take Texas!

MLB | Nationals vs Phillies
Play on: Phillies -120 at 5dimes
This pitching matchup between Jake Arrieta and Gio Gonzalez has the name recognition of a marquee matchup. This season though not so much. Both pitchers have struggled this season and are both on 3 game losing streaks. Gonzalez has not made it out of the sixth inning in 9 of his last 15 starts and with a Whip of 1.52 you can see why. Gonzalez has actually lost 9 of his last 10 decisions since June 1st. Arrieta is clearly the better pitcher of the two despite his recent starts. He should end the streak in this one. Take The Phillies.

MLB | Dodgers vs Rangers
Play on: Dodgers -143 at BetPhoenix
My Bonus Play is on the LA Dodgers at 8:05 ET. The Dodgers have won four in a row after last night's 8-4 victory in Texas, cutting their deficit in the National League West to just one game. The 71-61 Dodgers play again tonight in Arlington, wrapping up a brief two-game IL series with the Rangers, before returning home to welcome the 72-60 Diamondbacks to Dodger Stadium for a four-game weekend series. Texas has lost three straight contests and five of its last seven, giving them a 58-75 record. The team is on pace to win just 70 or 71 games and currently resides 23 1/2 games behind the Houston Astros in the AL West.
Alex Wood (7-6, 3.60 ERA) takes the mound tonight and will be pitching on three days of extra rest after having his scheduled start on Sunday pushed back so manager Dave Roberts could have his top-four starters face Arizona beginning on Thursday. Wood is just 3-7 in 20 career interleague games (15 starts) but does own a respectable 3.21 ERA in those games. Let's also note that he's allowed three ERs or less in 12 straight outings. Texas lefty Mike Minor (10-6, 4.40 ERA) will oppose Wood. Minor won his fourth straight game last Wednesday, after allowing one hit over six scoreless innings in a 4-2 win over Oakland. His overall season is hardly impressive but he does own a 6-2 record with a 3.23 ERA in his last 12 starts since the beginning of June (Rangers are 7-5 in that span). Minor is 1-2 with a 2.56 ERA in seven career appearances vs the Dodgers (six starts).
Both starting pitchers come in performing well but I'll side with the Dodgers, who can ill-afford a loss to the lowly Rangers, ahead of their four-games series with the D'backs. LA is averaging a healthy 5.25 RPG on the road, which is almost almost a run higher than the team averages at home (4.34 per). Meanwhile, Texas is a poor 29-39 at home, where it allows a whopping 6.04 RPG. Play the Dodgers.

MLB | Mets vs Cubs
Play on: Cubs -1½ +110 at 5dimes
10* FREE MLB PICK (Cubs -1.5, +110)
I'll gladly take my chances here with Chicago on the -1.5 run line in Wednesday's clash, which will follow the conclusion of Tuesday's suspended game. The Cubs enter having won 6 straight and could be sitting at 7 in a row by the time this one starts. While the offense was quiet in last night's contest, Chicago has scored 7 or more in 5 of their last 7 and I could see them reaching that mark in this one. That's because the Cubs will be up against Jason Vargas, who has a 6.96 ERA in 15 starts overall and a 8.15 ERA in 9 road starts. Chicago will counter with Alec Mills, who was sensational in his MLB debut last week against the Reds at home. Mills allowed just 1 run on 3 hits with 8 strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. I look for him to shine again, as he's facing a Mets offense that has really struggled to score of late. Give me the Cubs -1.5 (+110)!
