This is a play on the TEXAS RANGERS for our Monday Free Play. Baltimore is coming off a series win over Tampa Bay following a series loss against Texas and now it hits the road for a rematch against the Rangers. The Orioles have not been able to make any sort of move as they continue to just scuffle along, going 5-5 over their last 10 games to remain 11 games under .500 including eight games under .500 on the road. Trev Rogers has been pretty solid since getting into the rotation as he has a 1.62 ERA through his three starts including two quality outings but did have a rough third game, allowing three runs in 2.1 innings at Tampa Bay. Texas is coming off a series loss against Seattle after winning five of its previous six series to move to 41-43. The Rangers remain home where they are 24-18 and actually come in as a small underdog and that is due to Patrick Corbin who was lit up at Baltimore in his last outing where he allowed five runs over five innings. He has been much better at home where he has a 3.66 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in six starts. Play (962) Texas Rangers

+$19,120 MLB run. It was a 2-1 Underdog Sunday in MLB with the winners on the +138 White Sox and +131 Phillies to make it a 5-1 MLB Underdog weekend and we roll that into Monday. THREE MLB Winners for Monday as we go for another PERFECT 3-0 MLB SWEEP.

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS as part of our MLB Monday Triple Play. We won with the Royals on Saturday as they faced Shohei Ohtani but knowing he would go no more than two innings and now they are catching another good number. They have struggled, having lost seven of eight to fall six games under .500. Bring in Michael Wacha who has been one of the most underrated pitchers in baseball over the last four years with his 3.29 ERA which is No. 7 among 34 starters that have tossed at least 500 innings. While his ERA on the road is a run higher than it is at home, it is still pretty solid at 3.98 while his 1.23 WHIP is right in line with his 1.21 WHIP at home. Seattle has lost three of five since a three-game winning streak and they are three games over .500 which puts them in the No. 3 Wild Card spot. This is a tough number to lay with George Kirby who is making just his eighth start of the season and he comes in with a 5.40 ERA as he struggled early and has not looked right. He struck out 14 at the Angels but has just 22 strikeouts in his other 6 outings. 10* (963) Kansas City Royals

This is a play on the ATHLETICS as part of our MLB Monday Triple Play. The Athletics have lost their first two series on this roadtrip against division leaders the Tigers and Yankees and catch a bit of a break although Tampa Bay has been a pleasant surprise. The offense is top 12 in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS and while six games under .500 on the road, they are catching a great number and have been better on the highway than in their minor league park at home. Jacob Lopez pitched seven scoreless innings in his last start against the Tigers on Wednesday and he is now 2-0 with a 0.82 ERA in his last four starts including three straight quality outings. Tampa Bay dropped two of three against Baltimore after sweeping the Royals in Kansas City and the Rays remain in second place in the American League East, a game and a half behind the Yankees. Drew Rasmussen is not on the same roll as Lopez but is still having a solid season with a 2.45 ERA and 0.96 WHIP but is pitching to a 3.50 xERA and 3.54 xFIP so we should expect to see some negative regression. 10* (959) Athletics

This is a play on the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS as part of our MLB Monday Triple Play. Arizona is coming off getting swept at home against Miami to fall one game under .500 overall and at home. The Diamondbacks offense continues to shine as they are No. 6 in batting averaging while sitting No. 3 in on base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS. Ryne Nelson has been on a roll as his four-seamer is taking control as this was the case last year, when he had a 3.05 ERA in his final 14 appearances, and since he rejoined the rotation this season, he has a 2.62 ERA over his past seven appearances. He is back home where he has a 2.25 ERA compared to a 5.34 ERA on the road. The Giants are coming off a series loss at the White Sox after also getting swept at home against Miami. Logan Webb is having a career year as far as ERA as he has a 2.52 ERA in 17 starts to go along with a 1.14 WHIP. He is overpriced on the road where his ERA in 3.75 over eight starts while his home ERA sits at 1.52 in nine outings and the Giants have gone just 4-4 on those eight road games. 10* (956) Arizona Diamondbacks

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. If Atlanta is not starting one of their three S aces, it should not be laying a number this big. The Braves started the season slow and have not made any sort of move in the National League as they are still seven games under .500 following a series loss against Philadelphia and they only faced one of the Phillies top three starters. Sure, they are better at home but this is a price the old Braves put down, not this version and with Didier Fuentes taking the hill. This is his third start after two awful outings to open his Major League career as he has a 10.80 ERA and 1.80 WHIP covering 8.1 innings. This is his home debut and that adds even more pressure after those first starts. The Angels lost their series with the Nationals and are coming off a 5-4 homestand to sit one game under .500 in what has been a surprisingly good season. They are also just one game under .500 on the road any Tyler Anderson looks to get going as a rough stretch. His road numbers are not good but this is a Braves offense that cannot score consistently. 10* (923) Los Angeles Angels

This is a play on the ATHLETICS as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. We are coming back with the Athletics and the value as this pitching matchup is nearly a dead heat while their bats have been picking it up. As mentioned yesterday, the offense is top 12 in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS and now five games under .500 on the road, they are catching a great number and have been better on the highway than in their minor league park at home. Jeffrey Springs is facing his old team for the first time and Tampa Bay was where he had his breakout in 2022 with a 2.46 ERA in 33 games including 25 starts before injuries hit hard the next two seasons. He has had a solid start to this season with a 4.30 ERA but is pitching to a 3.96 xERA and possesses a 1.24 WHIP. Also, he has been better on the road than in his cookie cutter home park. Tampa Bay has dropped two straight and is just three games over .500 at home. Shane Baz has a 4.37 ERA and a 3.90 xERA and 1.26 WHIP, nearly identical numbers as Springs while his home ERA is 5.70 compared to 2.91 on the road. 10* (911) Athletics

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS CARDINALS as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. Dont look now but the Pirates are red hot and now send their ace to this hill so sign us up. The other way. Pittsburgh has won four straight games following a 7-0 series opening win which came after a sweep of the Mets. The Pirates are now three games over .500 at home and the bats are crushing it but this is not sustainable with a team that is No. 24 in batting average and on base percentage, No. 28 in slugging percentage and No. 29 in OPS. Paul Skenes is having a great sophomore season with a 2.12 ERA and 0.91 WHIP through 17 starts but he has actually been better on the road as he has a 2.56 ERA in seven home starts which is certainly good but the Pirates are 3-4 in those games including a loss to St. Louis where he allowed five runs in six innings. The Cardinals had won three straight in Cleveland prior to last night and are eight games over .500. Andre Pallante has a 2.95 ERA over his last three starts, has dominated the Pirates in his career and has a 3.70 ERA in his last four road starts. 10* (903) St. Louis Cardinals
