Cleveland Indians vs. Kansas City Royals 6:10 pm EDT

Cal Quantrill vs. Daniel Lynch

Quantrill has been a pitcher I have been riding for the last month or so. He has a 2.06 ERA and 0.97 WHIP over his last eight starts and has allowed more than two earned runs in only two of those starts. He has been even better at home with a 1.04 ERA and 0.81 WHIP.

BET – Quantrill under 2.5 earned runs (+100) for 1 RW buck

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay Rays

Alek Manoah vs. Drew Rasmussen

I got burned on the Jays last night after the Rays ended up getting three runs in the bottom of the 5th. I will go away from predicting a winner and go with the more constant of the Jays offense. The Jays have hit this over 3.5 runs prop in 16 out of their last 19 games.

BET – Jays over 3.5 runs (-125) for 1 RW buck

Houston Astros vs. Los Angeles Angels

Jose Urquidy vs. Packy Naughton

I just hate laying -2.5 runs and got burned on the Red Sox against the Orioles on Sunday when they only won by two runs. But the difference between both teams right now is significant and Urqudy is not consistent enough for me to have anything backing him. The Astros won 10-0 on Monday night and have won 11 out of 16 in the season series. They have won by at least 2.5 runs in eight out of the 11 wins against the Angels this year.

BET – Astros -2.5 runs (+110) for 1 RW buck

San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres

I have been saying it for months and it is still true, the Giants are consistently being overlooked by the oddsmakers. Kevin Gausman should be a small favorite even against Joe Musgrove in this spot. These two teams are headed in opposite directions and the Padres haven't hit in a month.

BET – Giants (+110) for 1 RW buck
