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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Arizona +1.5

After an incredible series in LA, this is a letdown spot. 

San Diego took 2 of 3 in LA and now will come out to face a much lower tier competitor. However, the Dbacks are proving they can compete with everyone thus far. 

Look for Arizona to find some success against Weathers, as they are working counts and putting pressure on opposing pitchers early in games.

Some trends to note. Padres are 10-26 in the last 36 meetings in Arizona. Padres are 4-9 in their last 13 vs. a team with a winning record.

Back Arizona RL.

Wednesday 8* MLB RL Play

Toronto -1.5

The Blue Jays are a nice move on the RL.

The bats came alive last night against the Nats ace and now they'll have a chance at Fedde, who owns a 5+ ERA. 

Toronto will counter with Stephen Matz, who has been perfect this season. Matz is 4-0 over 5 starts in which Toronto has won every time he takes the mound. Expect him to set the tone in this one, as the Nationals have just been awful on the road.

Some trends to note. Nationals are 3-7 in their last 10 Wednesday games. Nationals are 4-10 in their last 14 road games.

Back Toronto RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Washington -1.5

Laying the RL here with the Nats is a nice move. 

Madison Bumgarner is becoming one of those pitchers you can fade. He comes in 0-2 with an ERA of 11.20 thus far. He's allowed 6 runs in a pair of outings and 5 runs in another. He just isn't what he used to be and will struggle here against this lineup. 

Washington should be able to put together some great at bats and get out to an early lead, which should be more than enough for Strasburg.

Back Washington RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB RL Play

Astros -1.5

The Astros have value on the RL.

This is a play based on Zack Greinke bouncing back. The RH had a tough go around against the Tigers last time out, but one thing about him is that he always finds his way back. 

Look for him to pound the zone here and have these hitters off balanced all night long. He's turned in 2 QS already this season should return to form here.

Some trends to note. Astros are 7-3 in their last 10 vs. American League West. Astros are 5-1 in their last 6 road games.

Dodgers -1.5 

The Dodgers have value on the RL.

Oakland has started the season 0-5 and this team has been getting shelled. 

Now, they have to deal with Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers once again which is no easy task. Oakland's offense has been ice cold and Kershaw can take extreme advantage of that, look for him to set the tone early as he loves to pound the zone.

Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play

Cleveland Indians -1.5

The Indians have value on the RL here.

Cleveland dropped the opener 3-2 on a day where there was a blizzard and 30 degree weather. 

This one figures to be much warmer and it should allow them to wake their bats up. Cleveland has owned Detroit for the most part in recent seasons. They have gone 36-15 in the last 51 meetings in Detroit and are 45-11 in the last 56 meetings overall.

With Zach Plesac coming in off the best season of his career, the Tigers will have limited scoring chances in this one.

Some trends to note. Indians are 13-6 in their last 19 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Indians are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. American League Central.

Back Cleveland.

Tampa Bay +1.5

The Rays on the RL is a nice move in Game 1 of the World Series.

Tampa Bay and Los Angeles meeting on Tuesday to kick things off and the Rays continue to be a profitable team. 

They have had different guys step up each night and they continue to hit good opposing pitching. Clayton Kershaw has battled injuries this postseason and has had his issues with containing the big inning. Look for the Rays to scratch and claw against him as they make him work here.

Some trends to note. Rays are 4-1 in their last 5 Tuesday games. Rays are 4-1 in their last 5 interleague games as an underdog.

Tampa Bay +1.5

The Rays have value on the RL here in Game 5. 

With this being a winner take all, expect it to be played very closely here.

Tampa Bay and New York have gone at each other constantly this series was these two heavyweights are very evenly matched. 

This is going to be a grind it out kind of game, where runs should be at a premium. Expect Tampa Bay to lean on Glasnow to keep the Yankees lineup down, which should allow Tampa Bay to do what they do best and manufacture runs.

Some trends to note. Rays are 4-1 in their last 5 playoff games.Rays are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

St. Louis +1.5

The Cards have value on the RL here.

St. Louis held control of Game 1 on Wednesday with ease and now will look to upset the Padres here once again and move on.

St. Louis has the experience on their side, especially with Adam Wainwright on the hill. He has plenty of experience pitching in big games and St. Louis has actually dominated the Padres in postseason play. 

Look for Wainwright to set the tone here and for St. Louis to have a chance to steal this one outright.

Some trends to note. Cardinals are 5-2 in their last 7 games as an underdog.Cardinals are 15-6 in their last 21 Thursday games.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

Chicago -1.5 

The Cubs have value on the RL here.

They send out Kyle Hendricks to make his last start prior to the postseason in this one. Hendricks has been a big piece to this rotation, especially in the month of September.

Hendricks comes in 3-0 with a 1.21 ERA in 4 starts in September, with 27 strikeouts and three walks.

Trevor Williams counters and he meanwhile is in the midst of the worst season in his career. He owns an ERA of near 7 and has just 1 win behind his 8 losses.

The Mets have value on the RL here at this kind of price.

Degrom has been stellar this season. He comes in 4-1 with an ERA of just 1.67 in 9 starts this year.

Where the value sits is with his track record against the Phillies. He comes into play 8-1 with a 2.16 ERA in 16 starts. He has had their number and has really allowed the Mets to put together nice games when he's on the hill against them.

Look for tonight to be no different, especially given the injuries the Phillies currently are battling.

The White Sox have value on the RL here.

The battle in the AL Central has come down to two teams now with the Twins sweeping away the Indians. 

Chicago has been the hotter of the two and with a nice price on the RL, the value is with them.

Jose Berrios hasn't been the same as he's been in the past and this White Sox offense has taken it to opposing pitching. Look for them to have a lot of traffic on the bases against Berrios here and really be able to get themselves scoring chances early on.

San Diego -1.5

The Padres have value laying the RL here. 

Mike Clevinger will make his 2nd start of the season for San Diego after he received no run support in a 2-0 loss in his first outing.

Still, Clevinger pitched like an ace and should see his offense pick him up here. The Rockies have had some issues as of late and Chi Chi Gonzalez hasn't had much success against San Diego. He owns a near 5 ERA in his career and it is rare for this Padres offense not to see a lot of traffic on the bases.

Pittsburgh has just been a major struggle this season. They remain one of the worst in the MLB are a  mere 2-8 away from PNC Park in 2020. 

This is not a good matchup for them at all either. Lucas Giolito has some of the best stuff and comes in off an absolute dominant outing. Look for him to set the tone here as this White Sox offense should see plenty of scoring chances against Steven Brault Tuesday night.

The Yankees on the RL are a nice move. 

Boston has just completely fallen off. This team has struggled mightily both offensively and with their pitching as they just don’t have it. 

Boston has dropped 8 in a row to the Yankees and they simply just haven’t been close. New York has got out early in games and been able to just pour it on.

New York is playing with a lot of confidence and this is another case where they should be able to stake Happ to an early lead.

Philadelphia -1.5 +105

The Phillies have value laying the RL on Wednesday. 

Baltimore grabbed a win on Tuesday thanks to a misplay on a popup by the Phillies. 

Philadelphia sends out Zach Eflin, who comes in off a nice start against the Yankees offense. This is a game where he can play stopper and cool off the surprising hot Baltimore bats. Look for him to set the tone early in this one and allow the offense to get going for the Phillies. 

Some trends note here. Orioles are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings. Phillies are 5-2 in their last 7 games following a loss.

Baltimore has still struggled in this head to head and the Phillies have been a nice bounce back team.

Philadelphia +1.5 +140

This line is just far too high. 

While the Yankees are clearly one of the top teams in the MLB, this is a bit of a let down spot for them. 

They just swept their rivals from Boston and Jake Arrieta is a wild card. He has the ability to shut opposing offenses down and could surprise a few people on Monday.

Combine that with the Phillies offense being able to strike in bunches and we could see a game that the Phillies start to frustrate Cole and the Yankees.

Washington -1.5

The Nationals have had a rough go of it thus far in their defense of a World Series, but Max Scherzer taking the rubber here is a valuable play on the RL.

The Nationals will be the "away team" despite playing inside their home ballpark and Scherzer has been absolutely dominant against this Blue Jays team. 

Coming into Wednesday, the RH has gone 4-2 with a 2.24 ERA over 9 starts against the Jays. Digging further into that, Scherzer owns a 2.99 ERA in 80+ starts in Washington. 

He is the perfect guy to take the mound and put the brakes on this slow start for Washington, who should find some offense against an unproven rookie on the mound for Toronto.

Some trends to note. Nationals are 4-1 in their last 5 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Nationals are 23-8 in their last 31 Wednesday games.

New York +1.5 

The Yankees being underdogs at home is a very interesting sight to see. 

New York did exactly what they had to do to and split the pair in Houston after taking Game 1. Losing extra innings in Game 2 also showcased that they aren't going to bow down to this Houston team that everyone has already deemed winners of the ALCS. 

New York sends out Luis Severino here, who has really earned some respect from his teammates and the league after rushing back from injury. Severino threw 4 scoreless innings in the ALDS against the Twins and has pitched well against Houston in his career. 

Severino has gone 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA over 2 career starts.

New York +1.5 

The Yankees have value on the RL on Saturday night in Game 1 of the ALCS.

New York needed just 3 games to sweep through the first round of the playoffs, as they dominated the Twins in a lopsided series. Not only do they have the advantage of being well rested, but they take on a pitcher here in Greinke who has rocked by the Rays last series. 

New York's offense is a lot more dangerous than Tampa Bay's and should be able to make Greinke work even harder here in this one. 

The Astros RH owns a 5.05 ERA in his career against the Yanks as well.

Houston -1.5 +103

The Astros and Rays clash in the ALDS and the home side on the RL is the move. 

The Astros are heavy favorites to win the American League and they've been that way since the beginning of the season. 

Friday's starter Justin Verlander has a giant piece of that thanks to his dominant campaign. Verlander finished with a 21-6 record, while boasting an ERA of just 2.58. He has been an absolute beast when it comes to pitching in the playoffs as well. The RH has an ERA of only 2.83 in his career and has won all 7 decisions in his career in the ALDS. 

Some trends to note. Astros are 5-0 in their last 5 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. Astros are 4-0 in their last 4 Divisional Playoff games.

This figures to be a tightly contested game, as all MLB Playoff games seem to be. 

The Brewers are on a very nice run right now, winning 18 of their last 20 as they nearly stole the NL Central crown from St. Louis. They have send out Brandon Woodruff here who has been dominant this season.

Woodruff has given Milwaukee chances to win every time he takes the hill as the Brewers have gone 18-4 when he has pitched in 2019.

Chicago's playoff hopes were washed away as the Cardinals came into Chicago and swept a 4 game weekend series. The Cubs had plenty of chances to win every game and now are pretty much just playing out the string. 

This is a case where they will continue to have a letdown. The confidence is shot as they now realize the script has bee flipped on their 2019 season. 

Combine that with some young and hungry Pittsburgh players and the value sits with the home side.

Some trends to note. Cubs are 2-6 in Hendricks' last 8 starts vs. National League Central. Cubs are 1-4 in Hendricks' last 5 road starts vs. a team with a losing record.

Back Pittsburgh RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* MLB RL Play

New York -1.5 +105

The Mets and Reds battle in a weekend series as New York is in some must win spots here.

Lucky for them, they matchup well with the Reds and send their ace out here on Friday night. 

RH Jacob Degrom has been brilliant this season, boasting an ERA of just 2.61. He also has dominated the Reds this season as he went 7.0 scoreless innings last time out against them in May. Degrom has been the backbone to this rotation and with essentially every game a must win now for them, this is a nice spot for him to step up. 

New York has also dominated the Reds as a whole. The Mets have gone 23-8 in the last 31 head to head meetings and are 13-5 in the last 18 in Cinci. 

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Cleveland -1.5

The Indians and Tigers continue their 3 game series on Wednesday and the home side on the RL has the value here.

Cleveland has owned the Tigers this season and they continued that trend with another blowout win in the series opener on Tuesday. 

Aaron Civale will toe the rubber for Cleveland and he has been one of the saviors of this rotation. Civale has came up clutch this year, especially against the AL Central who he is 4-1 against. Civale has faced the Tigers twice over his last 10 starts and has allowed just 2 runs in 13.0 innings of work.

Some trends to note. Indians are 5-2 in their last 7 games on grass. Indians are 50-21 in their last 71 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Back Cleveland RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Cleveland -1.5 

Cleveland saw a 5-2 lead vanish very quickly as they now find themselves out of a playoff spot. 

This is a nice bounce back spot with Shane Bieber on the hill. The Indians RH has turned into quite the ace for this staff and has stepped up in some big moments.

While playing the White Sox isn't necessarily his biggest moment, the Indians are in need of a win here.

Bieber has allowed just 9 earned runs over his last 25.1 innings of work as he continues to give Cleveland chances to win every time he takes the hill. The Indians have been in every single game when he takes the mound as he continues to produce great starts.

Some trends to note. White Sox are 3-8 in their last 11 games following a win.White Sox are 9-25 in their last 34 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back Cleveland RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Chicago Cubs -1.5 -145

The Cubs have value on the RL here. 

Chicago has a huge edge with the pitching matchup on Monday afternoon. 

Seattle sends out youngster Justus Sheffield, who has been horrific in the MLB. Sheffield has allowed 8 runs and 13 hits in just 2 starts in this Seattle rotation and going into Wrigley Field for him is going to be a wreck. The Cubs are putting up nearly 5 runs per home game and he will see a lineup that really makes pitchers work.

Expect him to struggle from the outset as Chicago should see plenty of run scoring opportunities in this one.

Some trends to note. Mariners are 3-14 in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Mariners are 0-4 in their last 4 games following a win.

Back Chicago RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL Play

Chicago +1.5

The Cubs on the RL have value here.

The Mets are in freefall mode and this price is very inflated. 

New York has dropped 5 in a row as they continue to further themselves from the Wild Card race. They've struggled in the first two against the Cubs as Chicago put up a 6 spot in the first inning to set the tone on Wednesday. 

Jon Lester gets the ball and he comes in off a 1-0 2018 against the Mets as he posted an ERA of just 2.08. 

Some trends to note. Cubs are 5-0 in their last 5 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.Cubs are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win.

Back Chicago RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB RL Play

Los Angeles -1.5 +100

The Dodgers choked away a 3-1 lead on Monday and are in full bounce back mode here on Tuesday night. 

Los Angeles sends out Walker Buehler, who has dominated the Padres in his career. The Dodgers RH has gone 3-0 with an ERA of just 0.82 ERA and 31 strikeouts over 22 innings against them over a 3 start span. 

Los Angeles has also responded very well to losses this season. The Dodger come in 44-20 in their last 64 following a loss.

Some trends to note. Dodgers are 17-8 in their last 25 games on grass.Dodgers are 37-18 in their last 55 during game 2 of a series.

Back Los Angeles RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB RL Play

Oakland -1.5

The A's are worth the RL move here on Friday afternoon in Chicago. 

Oakland has just too big of an edge on the pitching side. 

Mike Fiers gets the ball for the A's and he has been magnificent lately. Fiers has an ERA of just 2.26 in his past 16 outings and Oakland is 9-2 the last 11 times he's taken the hill. 

He's also dominated the White Sox in his career. The RH has gone 3-0 with an ERA of just 1.83 over a 7 start span. 

Some trends to note. Athletics are 12-2 in their last 14 games following an off day. Athletics are 5-1 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.

Back Oakland RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Cleveland -1.5

The Indians on the RL are a nice move here.

Cleveland dropped the series opener 1-0 as they simply couldn't find an answer with runners in scoring position. 

This is a nice spot to fade the Rangers in this one. They send out Ariel Jurado, who has been a struggle in this starting rotation. He gave up 22 runs over a 5 start span in July where he simply didn't last long in any of those spots.

Despite getting shut out Monday, Cleveland's new look offense is still in a nice groove and has a lot more depth top to bottom.

Some trends to note. Indians are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Indians are 24-6 in their last 30 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Back Cleveland RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* MLB RL Play

New York +1.5

While the Red Sox have taken it to the Yankees this weekend, this is a chance for New York to salvage something.

They look to avoid the 4 game sweep here and take on LH Chris Sale. He may be overvalued a bit here as he has struggled against the Yankees here in 2019.

Sale has lost both starts against them, allowing 4 runs in each. 

He's countered by Domingo German, who has been the Yankees most consistent pitcher when it comes to winning. Sitting with 12 wins this year, he owns a 6-1 record on the road and has had a lot of success keeping traffic off the bases.

Some trends to note. Yankees are 6-0 in Germans last 6 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Yankees are 10-1 in Germans last 11 starts vs. American League East.

Back New York RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 10* MLB RL TOP PLAY

Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 +101

We're backing the Dodgers on the RL here. 

The series opener was a thriller where the Dodgers, despite getting outplayed, had a chance to steal the game. They had 2 players thrown out at home in what was eventually a 5-4 loss. 

Now, they turn to Ross Stripling, who has been a nice pitcher to back when he's on the hill.

The Dodgers have gone 6-2 in Stripling's last 8 starts as he's constantly given them a . chance to win when he's on the hill.

Some trends to note. Dodgers are 27-7 in their last 34 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Dodgers are 17-5 in their last 22 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Back Dodgers RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Tampa Bay -1.5 

The Orioles caught some fire this past weekend for a little bit, but now things are back to normal for them. 

After erupting for back to back 13-0 wins, they were shut out on Sunday and now will have to travel into Tampa. The Orioles have been a wreck on the road as well, adding to the value in this one. 

Baltimore enters play on Monday 13-28 SU away from Camden Yards and have been outscored 5.80-4.00 in those situations. Baltimore has been a nice fade in Game 1 of a series too. Over their last 60 Game 1s, they are just 12-48. 

Some trends to note. Orioles are 15-69 in their last 84 road games vs. a right-handed starter.Orioles are 5-23 in their last 28 games on astroturf.

Back Tampa Bay RL. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* MLB RL Play

Cleveland -1.5

The Indians send out Shane Bieber Sunday afternoon and have value on the RL. 

Bieber has been the Indians most consistent pitcher this season for the most part and comes in off a nice performance last time out. Bieber battled through 5.1 innings of work, allowing just 2 earned runs. 

He's been the workhorse for the Tribe this season as he has not only remained healthy, but has been able to give them a chance to win in a majority of his outings. 

He has a gem under his belt as well against this Baltimore team earlier this year, where he went for a complete game shutout while striking out 15. 

Look for him to have similar success here, as he should have these hitters off balanced all night. 

Back Cleveland RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* MLB RL Play

Texas -1.5

The Rangers have value on the RL here. 

While they have played really well at home, Lance Lynn has been pitching great overall. 

He comes in with an 8-4 record and has allowed 3 runs or less in 9 of his last 10 starts. He threw a gem last time out against the Indians, holding them to just 1 run over 7.0 innings of work. 

Look for him to find similar success against this White Sox lineup, while the offense should provide plenty of support against Odrisamer Despaigne. He has been knocked around both in the starting role and relief. He allowed 7 runs against the Yankees in his previous start and things likely won't turn out any better here.

Some trends to note. White Sox are 3-9 in their last 12 vs. American League West.White Sox are 2-6 in their last 8 road games vs. a right-handed starter.

Back Texas RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* MLB RL Play

Baltimore +1.5

The Orioles are of course a tough team to back. However, with this low of a price on the RL, there is value to have here. 

Baltimore endured a tough series against New York, something that has become a norm for them. However, they remained competitive throughout as this offense isn't as bad as it's been made out to be. 

Baltimore has seen a lot of clutch hitting lately and have been able to put up crooked numbers against opposing pitchers. They'll take on RH Jeff Hoffman, who owns an over 7 ERA inside Coors Field.

Some trends to note. Rockies are 2-5 in Hoffmans last 7 home starts.Rockies are 1-4 in Hoffmans last 5 home starts vs. a team with a losing record.

Back Baltimore RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB RL Play

Houston -1.5 +111

Houston has value on the RL here. 

This is a prime bounce back spot for the Astros, as they were demolished by the White Sox last night. Still, they go for the series win here and Chicago is not a team that can build off wins. 

Houston is still on a nice run here as they are 13-2 against teams with losing records. On top of that, they're still 18-5 SU at home and have average 5.74 runs per game compared to the 3.70 they've given up. 

Look for them to really come out with a vengeance here on Thursday. 

Some trends to note. Astros are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss.Astros are 5-1 in their last 6 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Back Houston RL.
