Match Up	Pick	Rating	Score	Result	Profit	Analysis
Dodgers vs Nationals	Nationals -132	Premium	4-1	Loss	-132	Show
This is a 5* play on the Washington Nationals. The Nats will host the Dodgers in their first game since Sunday. LA is limping into town off a 2-1 series loss at Miami, and the Dodgers have lost nine of their last 11 overall. Tanner Roark will start in Game 1, and his career splits suggest that a home game in the afternoon against these Dodgers is an ideal spot. The Dodgers hand the ball to Ross Stripling, who is making his fourth start of the season. The Dodgers bullpen has also been a sore spot this year, ranking 24th in the majors in ERA by reliever. The Dodgers have lost eight of their last 10 when Stripling starts. Take WAS. GL, Jesse Schule
Indians vs Astros	Astros -105	Top Premium	5-4	Loss	-105	Show
This is a 10* play on the Houston Astros. We should be in for a pitcher's duel in Houston this afternoon, as Corey Kluber is scheduled to start opposite Dallas Keuchel at Minutemaid Park. While Kluber has the better numbers this season, I think it's a bargain getting Keuchel at home with the better team behind him at roughly a pickem. Keuchel (3-5, 3.10 ERA) turned in a vintage performance, blanking Texas for seven innings, giving up just three hits and striking out eight his last time out. Prior to that he gave up a run on five hits in eight innings in a win at Oakland. His 25-8 record with a 2.27 ERA in 41 home starts over the last three seasons is particularly impressive. Kluber (6-2, 2.34 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on eight hits over seven innings in a home win over Kansas City his last time out. He has a losing record against Houston over the last three seasons, and he's 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA in two starts in Houston during that span. The Indians are 2-7 in their last nine road games, while Houston is 32-13 in it's last 45 at home. Take HOU. GL, Jesse Schule
Orioles vs Red Sox	Orioles +1½ -115	Premium	3-6	Loss	-115	Show
This is a 5* play on the Baltimore Orioles +1.5. The Orioles had the worst record in the majors a few weeks ago, but they come into Boston as winners of six of their last nine overall. The return of Mark Trumbo and Jonathan Schoop have certainly contributed to their recent success. I like the O's as a dog in Boston in Game 2. Rick Porcello will toe the slab for the Sox, and he's been roughed up pretty good recently. The right-hander has surrendered 10 runs on 17 hits over 11 1/3 innings in back to back losses to Oakland and New York. Bad news for Boston fans, as it seems that the Orioles could be his kryptonite. He's 1-6 with a 5.46 ERA in his last nine starts versus Baltimore. The Orioles hand the ball to Dylan Bundy, who appears to have worked his way out of a slump. He tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out seven in a home win over Tampa his last time out. He's 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA in his last five appearances at Fenway. Manny Machado leads the majors in home runs, RBIs, and is second to Mookie Betts in batting average. He's batting .333 with a pair of home runs in 36 career at bats versus Porcello. Take BAL.

Rockies vs Giants	OVER 7½ -110	Premium	4-9	Win	100	Show
This is a 5* play on [email protected] to go Over the total. The Rockies have scored 11 runs in the first two games of this series in San Francisco, and they will have a chance to take advantage of another struggling Giants pitcher here today. Chris Stratton will toe the slab for San Francisco, and he hasn't been missing many bats lately. The 27 year old gave up four runs on nine hits and two walks in five innings, but still picked up a win at home versus Cinci his last time out. He has an ERA over 7.00 at home, and an ERA over 11.00 in day games. The Rockies hand the ball to Jon Gray, who was also hit hard in his last start. Gray (4-5, 4.85 ERA) allowed six runs on 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings in a home loss to Milwaukee his last time out. Andrew McCutchen is still looking for his first hit in this series, but he's 4-for-7 lifetime versus Gray. The over is 5-2 in Stratton's last seven home starts. Take Over. GL, Jesse Schule
Diamondbacks vs Mets	Mets +117	Free	4-5	Win	117	Show
D'Backs vs Mets Free Pick May 19, 2018 I've been going against Arizona all week, and it sure has been profitable. The D'Backs have now lost eight of their last nine overall. Much of the blame will be on slugger Paul Goldchmidt, who struck out a whopping four times last night, and is now batting .091 in the month of May. All this considered, I don't think it's at all reasonable for Arizona to be a road favorite here in Game 2 in New York. Patrick Corbin will toe the slab for Arizona, and his numbers look great. Corbin is 4-1 with a 2.53 ERA, and those are the kind of numbers that could inspire the bookmakers to list the visitors as a favorite. Keep in mind, he's winless on the road, and his ERA is twice as high as it is at home. Going back the last three years, he has a losing record on the road, and mediocre numbers versus the Mets. New York will counter with Steven Matz, who has been good, not great. Matz (1-3, 3.86 ERA) allowed one run on five hits in five innings, not factoring in the decision in a win at Philly his last time out. He pitched well in his last start against Arizona, striking out nine batters in six innings, allowing a pair of runs on five hits. Injuries have taken their toll on the D'Backs, who are likely to be without A.J. Pollock and Steven Souza Jr. tonight. Pollock leads the team in hits, runs, RBIs and home runs. Take NYM. GL, Jesse Schule
Celtics vs Cavs	Celtics +6½ -108	Top Premium	86-116	Loss	-108	Show
This is a 10* play on the Boston Celtics. Surely LeBron isn't going to allow the Cavs to lose at home in Game 3? Well, that's what everyone said about Game 2 in Boston, and despite 42 points and a triple-double, the Cavs suffered another double-digit loss. Bettors must have short memories, because if you go back just a few weeks when the Cavs were struggling against the Pacers, all the so called experts were saying that Philly would sweep the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals. A few days later the Sixers found themselves right where Cleveland is now, heading home down 0-2 and heavily favored in Game 3. Boston won that game and ended up winning the series in five games. Cleveland has eight wins in these playoffs, and six of those have come by four points or less. Asking them to cover almost twice that margin here in Game 3 doesn't seem realistic at all. The Celtics were just a 4.5 point underdog in their last game at Cleveland, and they have covered in five straight visits to Quicken Loans Arena. Take BOS. GL, Jesse Schule
