2 Unit Play. Take #973 Houston +110 over Seattle (10:10p.m., Wednesday, September 23 ESPN) We used the Astros last night at an underdog price and we will back them again on Wednesday. Houston is in a battle with Texas for the final playoff spot. Both teams need to win their division to get into the playoffs. Seattle has nothing to play for and thus I do not see them putting up much of a fight in this series. They got shutout last night by a score of 7-0.

7-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 6.5 Tampa Bay at N.Y. Yankees (7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 23)
I know the setup seems odd here for a big play. But we’ve got to pull the trigger here because this may be James Hoye’s final game behind home plate. He is slated for Sunday, somewhere, and I’m not sure if he’s going to be up for the playoffs (I would assume so). But the reality is that even if he is behind the plate on Sunday I’ll let it rip on him again there as well. Over the past 20 years, I don’t know if any umpire has made me as much money as Hoye, who has always had one of the tightest strike zones in the game. The wind is blowing in and this wasn’t the matchup I was hoping for with Hoye. But we’ll take what we can get. These two teams did play a doubleheader yesterday so the bats should be finely tuned and ready to go after being shut down for most of yesterday. Tampa Bay isn’t a big home run team so the wind shouldn’t impact them. And the Yankees should be able to square up Ian Seymour, who has allowed at least three runs in six of his last seven starts (5.40 ERA). But it is all about Hoye, and if he can run Gerrit Cole’s pitch count and give us a few extra base runners I think the bats will do the rest against this low number.
2-Unit Play. Take ‘Under’ 8.0 Minnesota at San Francisco (3:45 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 23)
Carpe diem. Good luck.
Craig Trapp
3-Unit Play. Take #952 Pittsburgh (-135, moneyline) Over St Louis (6:40 pm, Wednesday September 23) **FD Odds**
The Pirates stay hot tonight, Pittsburgh has won 5 straight games headed into tonight. Pittsburgh will go with bullpen game with Bachar being the opener. This is as much of a fade against struggling Cardinals with struggling starter Liberatore on the mound. Take Pirates on the moneyline.
4-Unit Play. Take #969 Chicago White Sox (-115, moneyline) Over Kansas City (7:40 pm, Wednesday September 23) **FD Odds**
The White Sox performed great in must win game yesterday and think we see similar performance tonight. Chicago will go with bullpen game tonight and play it like a playoff game. KC has nothing left to play for and it will show. Take White Sox on the moneyline.

3-Unit Play. Take #954 Philadelphia +115 vs Milwaukee (6:40 p.m., Wed, Sept 23)
The Phillies offer great value here. Thanks to the Padres and Cubs both losing yesterday, the Phillies chances of getting a much better Wild Card playoff spot greatly improved. We get value because Aaron Nola's long-term numbers are not that strong that season and that hides the fact he has been in fantastic form now for many months. He is coming off another great start versus the Mets and also was great against the Braves in both his starts versus Atlanta this month. The Brewers Logan Henderson is a solid pitcher but he is not as strong on the road as he is at home. Also, he is coming off a tough start at Pittsburgh. The Brewers are motivated to win too but the Phillies have not yet clinched a playoff spot and I like them here at home to continue playing very well as inch closer to clinching their playoff berth. 3* PHILADELPHIA +115
4-Unit Play. Take #959/960 'Over' 11 (-110) Arizona at Colorado (8:40 p.m., Wed, Sept 23)
With decent weather expected in Denver and two hittable starting pitchers on the mound for this one, it should soar over the total. The Diamondbacks Merrill Kelly is off a tough home start and also in his most recent road outing he was not overly impressive. Now he pitches in the toughest venue in the majors and he is 9-14 with a 5.00 ERA this season. The Rockies will have Mason Adams on the mound tonight and he is a rookie that has struggled in both his home starts since coming up to the big club. In his two starts at Coors Field he has allowed 9 earned runs on 16 hits and 4 walks and 1 hit batter in 9 innings. That is 21 baserunners in 9 innings and that concerning pattern continues here against a Diamondbacks team doing everything they can to stay alive in the post-season race. This one should fly over the total with plenty of success from both sides. I know the Rockies have not hit well lately but they are familiar with Kelly and his form has not been great. Also, the Dbacks have won 3 straight games and scored 6.7 runs per game and they will pound Adams and a weak Rockies bullpen in this one. 4* OVER 11 -110 in Colorado

4-Unit Play. #971. Take LA Angels -125 over Oakland Athletics (Wednesday @ 9:40pm est)
Note, what a run in Baseball as we win again yesterday on the Twins and that is a 10-2 Run and 31-9 MLB Run for +9600 as we seek the coveted +10,000 Run Today. Back/Back great 3-1 Football Weeks and 10-3 start to College Football as well. Per this game, it does make sense to take these Angels off a loss. Urena comes into this contest having lost his last road game and he has potential which is why he is favored here and he has a 2.74 era. He is just 22 years old, gaining experience with every start, just went 7 innings, 4 hits and 0 runs against the Twins, has lost his last 3 road starts and I think he will be very focused today especially after giving up 7 runs in 4 innings to these very A's earlier this year, hence, we roll with the Angels.

Take #952 Pittsburgh *1st 5 innings (-125) over St Louis
*6:40 EST
I like the bats of Pitt versus Liberatore with a 7.30 ERA his last 5 starts, and 4 of those were losses including one to the Pirates where they got 4 runs off him and 6 hits and lit him up for 2 homers. That was in 5 innings! Pitt is crushing southpaws at .303 as a team their last 10 games. The Pirates send Luke Bachar to the bump in a bullpen game and while that gives you some pause, but the Pirates did this on Sunday with him and won. While he will go only 2 innings he is a right hander, and I expect Pitt to throw right handers at St Louis as they are only hitting .196 as a team against right handers their last 10 games. First 5 innings should be more than safe here.

4-Unit Play: #981 Toronto +110 over Baltimore (Wednesday, September 23, 2026, 1:35pm ET)
Take Toronto on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Wednesday afternoon in game one of this doubleheader. I really like this pitching matchup for Toronto today, and Toronto has hit .275 as a team lifetime against Bassitt with an on-base percentage of .333. Toronto also has a huge advantage in this game because they saw Bassitt pitch every fifth day when he was with the Blue Jays. Bassitt has an ERA of 6.46 in six outings during day games this season with opponents hitting .315 against him. Opponents have hit just .198 against Scherzer over his last five starts spanning 27.2 innings of work and this is a revenge spot for him after getting lit up by Baltimore in his only start against them this season. Play Toronto Moneyline
4-Unit Play: #977 Minnesota -150 over San Francisco (Wednesday, September 23, 2026, 3:45pm ET)
Take Minnesota on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Wednesday afternoon. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I like this pitching matchup for Minnesota today. Prielipp has pitched solid over his last five outings with opponents hitting just .212 against him and opponents have hit just .163 against him over his last two outings spanning 12.1 innings of work. Perdomo has an ERA of 6.75 in his last two starts spanning 9.1 innings with opponents hitting .381 against him. Play Minnesota Moneyline
4-Unit Play: #968 Boston -130 over Cleveland (Wednesday, September 23, 2026, 7:10pm ET)
Take Boston on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Wednesday night. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Boston tonight. Gray has an ERA of just 2.91 at home this season with opponents hitting just .223 against him and opponents have also hit just .218 against him over his last four starts spanning 24.1 innings leaving him with an ERA of just 2.96 over that span. Griffin has an ERA of 7.79 over his last four starts spanning 17.1 innings with opponents hitting .333 against him. Play Boston Moneyline.
Scott Spreitzer
6-Unit Play: Take 958 Cubs -1.5, +130 (RL) over Marlins (7:40 p.m., Wed., Sept. 23)
This is a big game for the Cubs as they look to sew up a playoff spot. I’m betting they take care of business. The Cubs average 5.33 runs per game, the top scoring team in MLB. They’ll face Ryan Gusto who rarely pitches five full innings and has been getting knocked around in September, allowing nine earned runs and 29 base runners in 15 innings. And since the break, the Marlins are 0-6 (losing by 3.0 runs per game) on the road against teams that outscore their opponents by at least 0.5 runs per game. I’m backing the Cubs on Wednesday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

7-Unit Play. Take #959 Arizona (-1.5, -105) over Colorado (8:40 p.m. Wednesday, September 23)
Arizona did their part last night by getting the victory and they are exactly 4 games behind the Cubs, Phillies, and Padres for the three wild card spots. If the Diamondbacks keep winning and get some help from the Dodgers their season ending series against San Diego could be very interesting. Merrill Kelly is not having the best season of his career, but he has pitched in big games for Arizona in years past and he threw a complete game in Colorado in May allowing just 1 earned run on 4 hits. It has been a bumpy ride for Mason Adams in his first taste of the big leagues and I think the righty is going to have a tough time in this one. Adams has given up a home run in all 5 of his starts, while allowing multiple walks in four of those, which is not a recipe for success when you pitch your home games in Coors Field. I think Arizona is going to put some pressure on those other teams and pick up another win in this one.

7 Unit Play - Take MIA Marlins @ Chicago Cubs (1st 5 innings UNDER 3.5 Runs Scored, -105). (7:40p.m, Wednesday, September 23rd)
This game is currently sitting at 6.5 total runs for a full game, and it seems off. We do believe runs will be scored in this one, just later in the game. Ryan Gusto has been solid for Miami, giving up 4 runs in 10.1 innings of work, and Guasman is printing a 4.55 ERA with 172 innings of work this season. This game is also being played at Wrigley, but temperatures are down, and it should be slightly colder tonight. We expect that to also be a factor tonight. Miami is 32-47 on the road, and we don't see synergy in their lineup tonight. Chicago is 45-34 at home, which will load offensive hope to public bettors. We see this as a positive because Ryan Gusto is much better than people think, and with the Cubs being the threat and us having Gusto as our secret weapon in this spot. We will let the public take the bait on this one. Take UNDER 3.5 runs in the 1st 5 innings of the ballgame.

2 Units: Take #958 CHC Cubs ML (-170) over MIA Marlins (7:40PM, Wednesday, September 23rd)
This is a prime spot to back Chicago at home in a game they simply can't drop. Suffering an 8-2 loss in 12 innings last night stings, but with the NL Wild Card race coming down to the wire, expect maximum focus from the North Siders. Chicago hands the ball to trade deadline acquisition Kevin Gausman. When Gausman is locked in, his split-finger fastball gives him true ace upside, making him the exact type of veteran you want on the rubber to halt a slide. Miami depleted a chunk of their bullpen in yesterday's extra-inning marathon, and Chicago’s lineup is setup well to jump on their arms early in front of a packed home crowd. With high urgency in the postseason push and Gausman leading the charge, lay the price on the home favorite. Back the Cubs straight up to bounce back and grab the win at Wrigley.

This game is also being played at Wrigley, but temperatures are down, and it should be slightly colder tonight. We expect that to also be a factor tonight. Miami is 32-47 on the road, and we don't see synergy in their lineup tonight. Chicago is 45-34 at home, which will load offensive hope to public bettors. We see this as a positive because Ryan Gusto is much better than people think, and with the Cubs being the threat and us having Gusto as our secret weapon in this spot. We will let the public take the bait on this one. Take UNDER 3.5 runs in the 1st 5 innings of the ballgame.

2 Units: Take #958 CHC Cubs ML (-170) over MIA Marlins (7:40PM, Wednesday, September 23rd)This is a prime spot to back Chicago at home in a game they simply can't drop. Suffering an 8-2 loss in 12 innings last night stings, but with the NL Wild Card race coming down to the wire, expect maximum focus from the North Siders. Chicago hands the ball to trade deadline acquisition Kevin Gausman. When Gausman is locked in, his split-finger fastball gives him true ace upside, making him the exact type of veteran you want on the rubber to halt a slide. Miami depleted a chunk of their bullpen in yesterday's extra-inning marathon, and Chicago’s lineup is setup well to jump on their arms early in front of a packed home crowd. With high urgency in the postseason push and Gausman leading the charge, lay the price on the home favorite. Back the Cubs straight up to bounce back and grab the win at Wrigley.
