MLB | Reds vs Brewers
Play on: Reds +156 at GTBets
10* FREE MLB PICK (Reds +156)
I'll take my chances here with Cincinnati as a decently priced underdog against the Brewers on Wednesday. Milwaukee has gone ice-cold at the plate of late. They scored just 1 run on 3 hits in yesterday's 3-1 loss to the Reds and have scored 2 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 4. Cincinnati will have Matt Harvey on the mound and he's in great form right now. Harvey has a 2.50 ERA and 1.056 WHIP over his last 3 starts. On the flip side of this, the Brewers will give the rock to Gio Gonzalez, who is coming off an ugly start at home against the Pirates, where he lasted just 4 2/3 innings. Gonzalez has a mere 5.28 ERA and 1.304 WHIP (8 walks) over his last 3 starts. The Last 23 times that Gonzalez has taken the mounds as a favorite of -150 or more his team has went on to win just 8 times. Give me the Reds +156!

MLB | Cubs vs Diamondbacks
Play on: Diamondbacks -105 at MyBookie
1* Free Pick on Arizona Diamondbacks -105
The Diamondbacks will secure a win at home and avoid the sweep by the Cubs. Chicago has built back up their lead in the NL Central to 3.5-games over the Brewers and are coming off back-to-back dominant wins over Arizona. They won 5-1 on Monday and 9-1 on Tuesday.
This might seem like the time to jump on board with the Cubs, but it's put them in a very unprofitable spot. Chicago is a mere 1-8 this season after allowing 1 or fewer runs in back-to-back games.
Arizona also has a guy on the mound that can keep this Cubs offense in check. Robbie Ray has a 2.95 ERA over his last 10 starts, including a 2.04 ERA and 0.849 WHIP in his last 3 outings. He's also faced Chicago once this season and was sensational, allowing just 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings.
Adding to all of this is a great system in play on the Diamondbacks. National League home teams that are giving up 4 runs/game or less on the season are 35-7 (83%) against the money line when coming off back-to-back losses by 4 or more runs. Take Arizona

MLB | Angels vs A's
Play on: A's -135 at BetPhoenix
My Bonus Play is on the Oak A's at 10:05 ET. The A's blew a three-run lead on Tuesday and lost 9-7. The defeat dropped them five games back of division-leading Houston in the AL West and 2 1/2 back of the NY Yankees for the first wild-card spot. Oakland, which has dropped four of its last five, continues its three-game series with the LA Angels tonight and on Thursday, before completing its final homestand of the season with three games against the Minnesota Twins Friday through Sunday. LA's win was the fourth-place Angels' eighth in 14 meetings with the A's in 2018, as LA extended its road winning streak to five in a row.
Felix Pena (3-4, 3.75 ERA) takes the mound for the Angels, coming in on a nice September run. He is 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA this month, with a 12-1 KW ratio in 20 innings over three starts (Angels are 2-1). In fact, after scattering six hits over six scoreless inning of an 8-1 win over Texas last Wednesday, Pena has worked at least six innings in each of his last six starts. He has faced the A's just twice in his career, once as a starter, with a 0-0 record and 5.40 ERA (Angels did win his lone start).
Lefty Brett Anderson (3-5, 4.35 ERA) will get the ball for Oakland. Anderson comes in off back-to-back losing starts in which he surrendered nine ERs on 14 hits over six innings. However, he had pitched extremely well in his previous four outings, allowing just two ERs on 12 hits with two walks and 14 strikeouts over 26 2/3 innings for an 0.68 ERA. That said, he earned just one win in that span (Oakland was 2-2). Anderson is 1-3 with a 3.75 ERA in 11 career appearances (eight starts) against the Angels, including a no-decision on August 10 in which he gave up two runs on four hits over five innings (A's lost 4-3).
The Angels can further endanger Oakland's chances of making the playoffs tonight with a win but I'll back the A's in this one. Oakland owns MLB's second-best moneyline mark (plus-$3416), while the Angels sit minus-$785 on the season. The A's are an impressive 46-30 at home in 2018, while the Angels check in 38-38 on the road, after winning five straight away from home. Take the A's.
