Indians (Bauer) @ Cubs (Chatwood) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 925-926

Play On: Indians -103

The Cubs Tyler Chatwood has been in shaky form over his last 3 starts which is evidenced by a lofty 1.53 WHIP during that span. He’s be facing an Indians team that has a less than inspiring .245 team batting average in 2018. Nevertheless, Chatwood is a dismal 2-11 in his career team starts when facing an American League team with a cumulative batting average of .265 or less.

The Indians Trevor Bauer has compiled a stellar 2.59 ERA in 9 starts this season. Bauer is coming off a outstanding outing in his last start in which he allowed 0 earned runs on 4 hits while striking out 10 and walking none during 8.0 innings pitched. That effort resulted in a 6-0 Indians win over the Tigers. Bauer has faced the Cubs once already this season and allowed 1 earned run on just 4 hits while striking out 8 in 6/2/3 innings of work. Cleveland has lost 4 of their previous 6 games and that’s worth noting. The Indians are 50-17 during the last 3 seasons after losing 4 or 5 of their previous 6 games. Bet the Indians for my free pick on Tuesday 5/22.

Houston @ Golden State 9:05 ET

Game# 505-506

Play On: Houston +9.0 (5*)

You can be rest assured that the betting public will be jumping all over Golden State after witnessing their 126-85 demolition of Houston on Sunday night. I’m here to tell you that it’s never that easy when it comes to sports betting. Houston has won 10 straight games this season following a defeat and they haven’t lost 2 consecutive games since 1/6/2018 which is a span that’s approaching 5 months. The Rockets are 9-1 straight up during the last 2 seasons following a loss by 15 points or more. Houston is just too good of a team to not bounce back from a thoroughly embarrassing performance in Game 3. I’m not brazen enough to call for an outright upset, although I wouldn’t be shocked if that occurred. However, I’ll make the wiser wager by taking the points. Bet on Houston plus the points for a 5* wager.

Atlanta (McCarthy) @ Philadelphia (Velazquez) 7:05 PM ET

Game# 901-902

The Phillies Vincent Velazquez has a 4.37 ERA in 9 starts this season. The Braves bullpen is averaging 3.7 innings pitched per game. Atlanta is averaging a robust 5.3 runs scored per game in 2018.

The combination of this data sets up a very profitable MLB money line underdog betting angle illustrated below.

Any road team (Atlanta) that’s +125 to -125 on the money line that’s averaging 4.7 or more runs scored per game, and their bullpen is averaging 3.2 or more innings pitched per game, versus a National League teams with a starting pitcher who possesses a season ERA of 4.20 to 5.20, resulted in those road teams going 45-15 (75%) since 2014. The average money line for those 60 road teams was -105. Bet on Atlanta for a 10* Top Play money line wager.
