Dodgers -1.5

Probable Pitchers: Merrill Kelly (R) vs. Dustin May (R)

The Dodgers (1-0) meet with the Diamondbacks (0-1) on Friday night. Los Angeles opened the season as expected, winning 8-2 over the Dbacks. Will Smith recorded 3 hits and drove in 4 runs as he is the going to be one of the catalysts in this offense.

Merrill Kelly takes the ball and his spring training featured some high leverage spots for Team USA in the WBC. He has been abysmal against the Dodges in his career. He comes in 0-9 with an ERA of 5.97 over 63.1 innings of work. 

Dustin May returned from Tommy John Surgery last season and made 6 starts last yer.

Some trends to note, the Diamondbacks are 6-13 in their last 19 overall, are 45-100 in their last 145 road games. Also, when the DBacks play the Dodgers the Diamondbacks are 12-39 in the last 51 games, and 19-60 in the last 79 in LA. Lastly the Dodgers are 38-13 in their L51 home games.

Back the Dodgers on the runline.

Friday 7* MLB RL Play

Philadelphia +1.5

We're on the Phillies RL here. 

Philadelphia and Houston clash in Game 1 of the World Series and the Phillies aren't getting enough respect at this kind of line. The Phillies have used timely hitting and seen their starting pitching step up tremendously during this postseason. 

Nola will look to repeat his performance against the Braves in the NLDS. He stepped up in a big way and gave them a huge start, working deep into the game. He's came up big in many spots during the regular season as well, adding value to him here.

Some trends to note. Phillies are 23-9 in their last 32 Friday games. Phillies are 5-0 in their last 5 games following an off day.

Back Philadelphia RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Houston -1.5

The Astros on the RL are worth the move here in game one of the ALCS.

New York had to play into yesterday and will now start Taillon in Game 1 on Wednesday. Houston's offense should have a field day with him. Look for them to make him work from the outset and try to run his pitch count up, as they want to tax this bullpen. 

The Astros are well rested and tearing the cover off the ball this October.

Yankees are 1-4 in their last 5 playoff road games, 1-5 in the last 6 vs. Houston, and 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Houston. Lay the RL.

Dodgers -1.5

The Dodgers are worth the move on the RL.

After dropping last night 6-1, they send out Julio Urias, who has been a huge piece to this team's success. With 17 wins and an ERA of just 2.27, he has really bolstered this rotation and put together a Cy Young worthy campaign. 

Look for him to set the tone here early in this one and for the Dodgers offense to rebound from last night, where they simply didn't put together many good at bats.

Hunter Greene gets the ball for them and has struggled recently in his rookie campaign. He has walked 8 batters in his last 2 starts, posting an ERA of 6.00 in that span. Look for him to struggle against this tough Milwaukee lineup, that certainly makes pitchers work.

Some trends to note. Reds are 15-41 in their last 56 games on grass.Reds are 9-25 in their last 34 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back Milwaukee RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

Atlanta Braves +1.5

The Braves are at a nice line here on the +1.5 Saturday. 

Atlanta has a 3-2 lead and needs just 1 win avoid blowing a 3-1 lead again to the Dodgers in the NLCS. 

They take on Max Scherzer and this is an inflated line a bit. Scherzer has been worked a lot this postseason and the Braves had some success against him. With the Dodgers using their bullpen in Game 5, if Scherzer doesn't work deep into the game, they could be in store for some issues.

Some trends to note. Braves are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Braves are 18-5 in their last 23 overall.

Back Atlanta RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB RL Play

St. Louis +1.5

The Cardinals have value here grabbing the RL.

St. Louis had a 1% chance of making the playoffs at one point this season. Now they're in a 1 game Wild Card showdown here.

The Dodgers have to have a little frustration on their end playing in this game. They won 105 games and still couldn't crack the Giants that led them to a race up to the last day. Max Scherzer struggled down the stretch and faces a hot Cardinals lineup. Expect St. Louis to make him work here on Wednesday.

Some trends to note. Cardinals are 35-16 in their last 51 overall. Cardinals are 22-5 in their last 27 road games.

Back St. Louis RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Dodgers -1.5

The Dodgers have value here on the RL.

Max Scherzer gets the ball as he continues his magnificent season. Scherzer has been a big reason why the Dodgers have had so much success in the 2nd half. 

San Diego has been eliminated and this has just been a debacle of a season for them. They are ready to get to the finish line and retool for next year.

Some trends to note. Padres are 11-30 in their last 41 games on grass. Padres are 7-20 in their last 27 road games.

Back Los Angeles RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Los Angeles -1.5

We backed the Dodgers on the RL last night and we're doing it again here on Wednesday.

Los Angeles continues to need wins to keep pace in the AL West. The Diamondbacks meanwhile, continue to lose on the road almost every time they take the field. 

On top of that, they get to see Urias on Wednesday, who owns 17 wins on the season. He has been a huge piece to the Dodgers success and will have his way here with these Arizona hitters.

Some trends to note. Dodgers are 59-26 in their last 85 games as a favorite. Dodgers are 49-22 in their last 71 overall.

Back Los Angeles RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Dodgers -1.5

The Dodgers have the value here on the RL.

They come in off a win over the Dbacks last night, as they continue their surge for the AL West top spot. 

Arizona is by far just an awful team on the road compared to everyone else in the majors. They have dropped 46 of their last 56 road contests and have won just 17 of the last 61 meetings in LA.

Some trends to note. Diamondbacks are 15-36 in the last 51 meetings. Diamondbacks are 13-39 in their last 52 vs. National League West.

Back Los Angeles RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

New York -1.5 

The RL here is juiced but worth the move. 

Gerrit Cole gets the ball as New York will try to avoid the sweep in LA. New York has done just about everything wrong this series and with 4 straight losses now, they simply cannot afford to be swept. 

Look for them to right the ship, as it starts with Cole and his ability to set the tone early in this one.

Some trends to note. Yankees are 22-7 in their last 29 games as a favorite. Yankees are 23-8 in their last 31 games on grass.

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

New York -1.5

The Yankees have value on the RL here.

New York fell 8-7 in a back and forth game last night in LA as their bullpen couldn't provide any support. This is a prime bounce back spot as this team has still been one of the hottest in the MLB.

They will get a look at Jaime Barria, who has been a mess this year. He owns an ERA of well over 5 and hasn't looked good at all.

Combine this with the fact that there are more Yankees fans in attendance than Angels fans and it feels like a home game for New York.

Some trends to note. Yankees are 7-2 in their last 9 games following a loss. Yankees are 20-6 in their last 26 games on grass.

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

Los Angeles -1.5

The Dodgers on the RL is a nice move here.

They knocked around Carrasco last Sunday as he has had some struggles coming off injury. With how well LA can hit the ball, expect the same here.

The Dodgers have won 14 of 17 overall as they continue to torch opposing pitching. Combine that with them being 41-14 in their last 55 during game 2 of a series and the value sits highly with them in this one.

Some trends to note. Dodgers are 99-38 in their last 137 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Dodgers are 65-27 in their last 92 games as a home favorite.

Back Los Angeles RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* MLB RL TOP PLAY

Toronto -1.5

The Blue Jays have value on the RL.

Toronto is a much better team and they are in a bounce back spot here. After getting kicked around last night, Jose Berrios is the perfect guy to take the mound. He's looked great in a Jays uniform and should be able to hold this Nats offense down.

Expect him to set the tone and for the offense to get going early, which is something they didn't do yesterday.

Some trends to note. Blue Jays are 10-3 in their last 13 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. Blue Jays are 13-4 in their last 17 interleague games.

Back Toronto RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Mets +1.5

The Mets are worth the move on the RL.

After getting demolished this weekend by the Dodgers, New York knows they are in a place where they need to find a way to get some momentum.

Rich Hill is the perfect pitcher to do that. He's a vet who has pitched in a lot of high pressured games and should be able to step up here. 

Look for him to give them some length and a chance to steal this one outright.

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL Play

Chicago Cubs +1.5

We're on the Cubs RL here.

While the Cubs did dish away their entire core at the deadline, they still have some talent that can compete. They've shown that at times during this series and now in primetime, they're certainly going to give everything they have to avoid getting swept by their rivals.

Look for Davies to set the tone here, as these Cubs hitters will work counts on Cease.

Some trends to note. White Sox are 12-26 in their last 38 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter. White Sox are 2-5 in their last 7 games following a win.

Back Cubs RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB RL Play

Pittsburgh +1.5

We're coming back with the Pirates on the RL here on Saturday.

Pittsburgh has played well on Saturdays as of late. They come in winners of 4 of their last 5 Saturday contests overall. 

Here, they should find some success against Gutierrez. He is not overpowering by any means and typically does allow a lot of traffic on the bases. They'll have their chances to put up runs and steal this game.

Some trends to note. Reds are 3-7 in their last 10 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Reds are 2-5 in their last 7 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Back Pittsburgh RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* MLB RL Play

Cincinnati -1.5 

The Reds are worth the RL move here.

Wade Miley gets the ball and he’s been a solid surprise in this rotation. The RH has an ERA of just 2.92 and even has a no hitter under his belt. 

Look for him to set the tone here as the Reds continue their hot run. With Castellanos back in the lineup, this offense has been clicking and allowing starting pitchers to settle in with leads.

Some trends to note. Reds are 7-2 in their last 9 overall and 16-5 in their last 21 games as a home favorite. Plus they are 19-7 in their last 26 Friday games.

Back Cincinnati RL. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Houston +1.5

We're getting value once again on Houston RL here.

The Astros shutout the Dodgers 3-0 last night and they come in as bigger underdogs here. Max Scherzer will get the ball for the Dodgers, which explains the line. He has shown some solid signs this season, but also struggled at times and battled through injuries. Look for Houston to make him work as you have to expect some nerves from him too given this being his Dodgers debut.

Some trends to note. Astros are 21-7 in their last 28 games following a win. Astros are 12-4 in their last 16 road games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back Houston RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Houston +1.5

The Astros on the RL are worth the move here.

Houston heads into LA on Tuesday and they have been very profitable in Game 1s of a series. They have gone 80-33 in their last 113 Game 1's of a series. That is no small sample size by any means to ignore here. 

The Astros send out Lance Mccullers Jr., who has been dynamite this season as well.

Some trends to note. Astros are 48-18 in their last 66 games following an off day. Astros are 11-4 in their last 15 road games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back Houston RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

Chicago -1.5

The White Sox are worth the move on the RL.

Kansas City starting pitcher Kris Bubic has been a mess on the road. He sits with an ERA of 7.16 away from KC and now has to deal with this lineup on Tuesday. 

Kansas City is skidding, losing 3 straight to Toronto, scoring just 5 runs in the series. Look for the White Sox offense to get to Bubic early in this one, allowing Cease to settle in.

Some trends to note. White Sox are 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games. White Sox are 19-7 in their last 26 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Back Chicago.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play

San Francisco -1.5

The Giants have value on the RL.

San Francisco has won back to back series with the Dodgers and Astros. They're playing extremely well and give the ball to Anthony DeSclafani, who has been a huge piece to this rotation. The RH has posted an era of 2.50 on the road as well, averaging 6.0 innings per start.

Expect him to set the tone as the Giants offense will have plenty of scoring chances against this pitching staff.

Some trends to note. Giants are 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Giants are 8-2 in their last 10 vs. National League West.

Back San Francisco RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL play

Toronto Blue Jays -1.5

The Jays have value here on the RL.

Toronto sends out Ryu on Thursday in a game where they are in a huge bounce back spot. Toronto just couldn't get over the hump in a 9-7 extra innings loss on Wednesday. 

Circle back here now, Ryu has been the guy to step up in these situations. He has gone 7-4 on the season with a solid 3.41 ERA. He has been a stopper in the past and should have plenty of success against a very inconsistent Seattle lineup.

Back Toronto RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

San Francisco +1.5

We're on the Giants RL here once again. 

This series is going to be fun and entertaining and we saw that last night as the Giants RL cashed in a 3-2 Dodgers win. 

Kevin Gausman has been solid all season long and the Giants themselves rarely allow losses to snowball. Look for him to set the tone in another close game that can really go either way here.

Some trends to note. Giants are 6-1 in their last 7 Tuesday games. Giants are 7-1 in their last 8 vs. National League West.

Back San Francisco RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

San Francisco +1.5

The Giants and Dodgers begin a crucial series as the AL West contenders have been battling it out all season long with the Padres in the division.

San Francisco sends out Anthony DeSclafani, who has been stellar this season. The RH has gone 8-2 with a 2.77 ERA this season. He's seen the Giants win 9 out of his last 10 starts as he always gives them a chance to win. Expect him to set the tone here as San Francisco's offense has been one of the best with timely hitting.

Some trends to note. Giants are 5-1 in their last 6 games as a road underdog.  Giants are 7-0 in their last 7 vs. National League West.

Back San Francisco RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL Play

Chicago +1.5

The Cubs are worth the move on the RL here.

Uriah gets the ball for the Dodgers and he comes in off a loss to the Padres last time out. Urias is a contact pitcher and the Cubs bats should have some success here. 

Look for them to make him work and keep this one close, as they'll have their chances to put up some runs and steal this game.

Some trends to note. Dodgers are 1-4 in their last 5 overall. Dodgers are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record.

Back Chicago RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB RL Play

Toronto -1.5

We're on the Jays here on the RL. 

This is simply a fade Matt Harvey play. He has been knocked around constantly this season. Sitting with a 7.80 ERA, Harvey is 3-9 on the year. He hasn't had much success at all and just got knocked around by Toronto in his most recent start. 

Look for the Blue Jays to have similar success here once again, making him work and putting a lot of traffic on the bases.

Some trends to note. Orioles are 20-44 in their last 64 Friday games. Orioles are 18-44 in their last 62 vs. American League East.

Back Toronto RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
