1-Unit Play. Take #951 Philadelphia (-115) over Miami (6:40 p.m.)
Aaron Nola isn’t the guy he used to be, that’s for damn sure. But he still has some stuff and this is a cheap price on him and a Phillies team that kicked things into gear. Philadelphia has won five of its last six and are set for back-to-back series wins for the first time this season.
2-Unit Play. Take #971 L.A. Dodgers (-1.5, -125) over Houston (8 p.m.)
I think the Dodgers are going to pound the Astros this week. The last time they faced one another, Houston came to L.A. for the Fourth of July weekend last summer and swept the Dodgers. That won’t happen here. Los Angeles has lost back-to-back series and they aren’t hitting the ball. Houston’s pitching is the worst in baseball, sporting a 5.75 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. I think they will help the Dodgers lineup get back on track.
Today’s Totals
5-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 11.5 Cincinnati at Chicago Cubs (7:40 p.m.)
The wind is blowing out in Wrigley. That is a big bump to the bats and I think the Reds are due for some offense. They were held to just eight runs in three games against Pittsburgh’s dominating staff and the Reds have bene all over the map, scoring seven runs or more in four of their last 10 and being held to two runs or less in another four. Cincinnati’s pitching has been a mess, surrendering 27 runs in the three games against the Pirates and an average of 7.0 runs per game over their last 10. They’ve given up eight runs or more five times since April 22. The Reds called up a minor leaguer, Chase Petty, to start today. He has a 4.38 ERA in Triple-A and I don’t think it’s going to go well for him.
2-Unti Play. Take ‘Over’ 8.5 Milwaukee at St. Louis (7:45 p.m.)
1-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 7.5 Chicago White Sox at L.A. Angels (9:30 p.m.)
3-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 8.5 L.A. Dodgers at Houston (8 p.m.)
Carpe diem. Good luck.
Craig Trapp
4-Unit Play. Take #964 Tampa Bay (-126, moneyline) Over Toronto (6:40 pm, Monday May 4)
The Rays have quietly been one of MLB's hottest teams recently - 9-1 over their last 10, including a three-game sweep of the Giants. Hot starter Nick Martinez (2-1, 1.79 ERA) looks to keep it rolling. Take the Rays ML to win today.

Scott Rickenbach
4-Unit Play. Take #951 Philadelphia -110 at Miami (6:40 p.m., Mon, May 4)
That old expression holds true here that if it is not broken then do not try to fix it! I am going to keep riding the Phillies surge. This was a team in desperate need of a massive change and they did that when Mattingly replaced Thomson. They have now won 5 of 6 games and I know Nola is inconsistent but Junk is no powerhouse and Nola had allowed 3 earned runs or less in each of his first 4 starts this season before struggling in the last two. Junk is off B2B strong starts including one at home but, prior to that he allowed 18 hits in 17 innings at home so it is not like he is going to come out and just shut down the surging Phillies. Note that Philadelphia is a respectable 12-9 against teams that don't currently have a winning record on the season. Also, the Marlins are just 2-4 in divisional games this season. 4* PHILADELPHIA -110
4-Unit Play. Take #953/954 'Over' 11.5 -100 Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs (7:40 p.m., Mon, May 4)
Favorable winds again at Wrigley Field today and I like overs in this ballpark when the conditions are right and that is what we have again today on Monday. The winds could change some and weaken as the game goes on but this is still a day getting up near 80 degrees plus it will not cool off much this evening either. Homer fest likely here between the Reds and Cubs. Cincinnati starter Chase Petty has not been overly impressive in the minors plus he got destroyed in his only 3 appearances at the MLB level last season. Cubs starter Edward Cabrera has been getting hit a little harder recently and also has allowed 3 earned runs in each of his last 4 appearances plus now he has a tough assignment facing the Reds in hitter friendly conditions. Cincinnati is off a shutout loss but they had scored 5 or more runs in 9 of their last 13 games prior to that one! The Cubs and Reds each have a slugging percentage north of .480 over the past 15 days which puts both teams in the top 4 in the majors during this stretch. Look for another high-scoring 4* OVER 11.5 -100 in Chicago Cubs
Arun Shiva (Indian Cowboy)
4-Unit Play. Take Milwaukee Brewers -110 over St. Louis Cardinals (Monday @ 7:45pm est)
You get Patrick in a great spot today, on a bit of a bounce-back facing a Cardinals team that is in for a let down with a pitcher on a let down as well so you get a team, and a pitcher in a must win to do well and you get a Cards team on a classic let down spot and it makes sense for us to take Milwaukee here.

*6:40 EST
Love the red-hot Rays at home on a Monday against Toronto who are off a road loss and travel again for their 5th road game in a row. The Rays are 16-5 their last 21 game and just swept the Giants over the weekend, as they allowed 2 runs in 3 games. That is the 4th series sweep for Tampa this year. Martinez on the hill for Tampa, a 1.70 ERA this year and has allowed opposing teams a .206 batting average against him. He is very hard to hit and has a nasty change up. He has not given up more than 2 earned runs all year in any game and is 5-1.
Toronto managed a split with the Twins this weekend and have a TBD at pitcher, however it looks like Lauer will get the start who has 1 wins all year. All 3 of his losses have been on the road. Diaz remains a question mark and Springer got injured this weekend and did not play Sunday. I know their will be no ace pitcher in the rotation for this game for the Jays A great spot to take a hot team at home here. Under 8 worth a look too in this game.

4-Unit Play: #953 Cincinnati +170 over Chicago (Monday, May 4, 2026, 7:40pm ET)
Takes Cincinnati on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Monday. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Cincinnati here today. We are getting tremendous value of Cincinnati here today as well. Cincinnati has beat the Cubs in four straight games dating back to September 18th 2025 and I really like this lineup for them here today. Play Cincinnati moneyline
Scott Spreitzer
4-Unit Play: Take 955 Brewers -115 over Cardinals (7:45 p.m., Monday, May 4)
The Brewers have won five of seven, averaging over 6 rpg. They were held to a pair of runs last night but I like their chances against Kyle Leahy, who has been a mess both home and away in six starts. Leahy has a 6.02 xERA and a barrel rate over 11%. Meanwhile, the Brewers will send Chad Patrick to the mound. Patrick has made six appearances on the season and he allowed just four earned runs and 24 base runners in his four starts, spanning 21 IP. The Brewers also own the better pen. I’m backing the Brewers on Monday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
August Young
4-Unit Play (963) Toronto Blue Jays +110 over Tampa Bay Rays (5/4 @ 6:40PM EST) Nick Martinez is vastly overvalued right now with his 1.70 ERA. However, he still ranks as having some of the worst percentile numbers when it comes to Fastball Velocity, Whiff %, K%, and GB%. It's hard to maintain a sub 2.00 ERA at this level with those numbers. The Rays are 21-12 but that is also too good to last considering their 96 wRC+ (4% below league average). All-in-all, this is a solid situation for the Jays as small underdogs.

3-Unit Play. Take #952 Miami (-105) over Philadelphia (6:40 p.m. Monday, May 4)
Philadelphia is still trying to dig themselves out of the hole they have created for themselves, but Miami is looking to prove that they are ready to compete and are an improved club. The Marlins have played their best baseball at home and I think they are going to send the Phillies out of town with a split in this series. Janson Junk has been in a nice groove and will enter tonight’s contest not having allowed an earned run over his last two starts giving up just 4 hits across 11 innings. Junk pitched well against the Phillies in his only appearance last season against them and I think he can be just as solid in this matchup. Aaron Nola struggled in 17 starts last season to a 6.01 ERA and it hasn’t been much better this year as his ERA is 6.03 over the 6 starts he has made so far. Nola has allowed 3 home runs and 11 earned runs over his last two starts and I think he is going to have some issues getting through this Miami lineup. I like the Marlins here.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

1 Unit Play - Take #969 Chicago White Sox (+130) Over LA Angels. (9:38p.m, Monday, May 4th)
The books are still not respecting the White Sox, as they just wrapped up a 6-game winning streak prior to yesterday’s loss in San Diego. This is not a switch in timezone, as Chicago just played a 3-game set with San Diego, winning 2 of 3, all as an underdog. Chicago played LA prior to this set and came up with a clean 3-0 sweep, including a win over Jose Soriano. Davis Martin gets the start tonight for Chicago with a 4-1 record, 37 innings of work, and a 1.95 ERA. We love Martin in this spot, and Chicago is producing runs offensively. Chicago just went 13-13 in April and is now 2-1 in May. We expect another strong outing from Martin, and we believe the offense shows up behind him again.

2 Unit: MLB Take #958 COL Rockies ML (+120) over NYM Mets (5:40p.m, Monday, May 4th)
The New York Mets arrive at Coors Field tonight to open a three-game series, and the situational value sits squarely with the home team. While the Mets are coming off a weekend series win, they’ve been largely inconsistent this year with a 12-22 record. The Rockies, meanwhile, return to Denver on a four-game skid, but Coors Field is the ultimate reset button for a struggling offense. Tonight’s pitching matchup favors Colorado’s consistency. The Rockies start Tomoyuki Sugano, who has been a bright spot with a 3-1 record and a 2.88 ERA. He faces David Peterson, who has struggled mightily out of the gate with a 6.53 ERA and an 0-4 record. Peterson’s tendency to allow baserunners (1.52 WHIP) is a dangerous liability in the thin air of Denver. The Mets' offense remains one of the lowest-scoring units in the league, while the Rockies typically find their power at home. With the pitching advantage and the "get-right" factor of being back at altitude, Colorado is in a prime position to snap their streak. Take the Rockies on the moneyline.
