2-Unit Play. Take #951 Cincinnati (-110) over Pittsburgh (6:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
Pittsburgh is a pile. They are 15-32 on the season and they have the worst lineup in baseball. This team is barely averaging three runs per game and they are hitting .217 as a team. They are back home with their tails tucked between their legs after getting manhandled by Philadelphia over the weekend. The Reds have won four straight and I think that this team is undervalued right now.
2-Unit Play. Take #955 Philadelphia (-1.5, -160) over Colorado (8:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
2-Unit Play. Take #958 L.A. Dodgers (-140) over Arizona (10 p.m., Monday, May 19)
1-Unti Play. Take #958 L.A. Dodgers (-1.5, +140) over Arizona (10 p.m., Monday, May 19)
Are the Dodgers kidding me? They got swept by the lowly Angels over the weekend. Is this team going to lose four games in a row? It is doubtful. Arizona was less than impressive against Colorado over the weekend and I like the Dodgers to beat Brandon Pfaadt for the second time in 1 days.
3-Unit Play. Take #963 Cleveland (+120) over Minnesota (7:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
This is just a system play. The Twins won 13 straight games. They finally had their streak snapped with a loss yesterday. I see them having an emotional letdown after a road trip and after fighting so hard to keep that streak going. Cleveland just got swept by the Reds and they should be in bounce back mode here. The Indians also have the better starter on the mound so there is a lot of value here.
2-Unit Play. Take #970 Milwaukee (-120) over Baltimore (7:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
The Orioles are awful right now. They fired their manager – and it doesn’t matter. This team’s pitching staff is a dumpster fire and they just can’t get people out. Dean Kremer is on the mound today with his 5.40 ERA, and he is one of the team’s better starters. Milwaukee has been a sinking ship but I think this is a chance for them to get a series win, starting with a victory in the opener.
2-Unit Play. Take #973 Kansas City (+115) over San Francisco (9:45 p.m., Monday, May 19)
Kris Bubic has just a 1.67 ERA and he has only allowed more than two earned runs in two starts this season. Bubic has surrendered just one run and three walks (to 19 strikeouts) over his last three starts (18.3 innings). San Fran is hitting just .225 against lefties this year and I think Bubic will stay hot.

7-Unit Play. Take ‘Under’ 7.5 Cleveland at Minnesota (7:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
The wind is blowing in, it is cold, and there may be some rain in this game. That all favors the pitchers. Not that they need much more of an edge. Logan Allen has a 3.70 ERA on the season. However, if you eliminate his terrible start against Boston that number drops to 2.19 and he’s given up just nine runs in 37 innings. Bailey Ober has been dealing for Minnesota. The crafty righty is in the same boat. He has a 3.72 ERA. But if you discount his first start of the season he has allowed more than one earned runs in just two of his eight starts and would have a 2.37 ERA. He shut down the Indians for eight innings (allowing just one run) on April 28 and I think Ober will be good again today.
Carpe diem. Good luck.
Craig Trapp
3-Unit Play. Take #955 Philadelphia (-1.5) Over Colorado (8:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
Fading the struggling Rockies who are our worst power ranked team in MLB. Colorado starter Freeland is really bad and think his 6+ ERA will be even worse on Monday. This Phillies offense will put up tons of fireworks tonight as the offense takes over. Take Philadelphia to win on the run line tonight.
4-Unit Play. Take #951 Cincinnati (-115, moneyline) Over Pittsburgh (6:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
The Reds swept solid Cleveland team and now hit the road to take on a Pirates team that is just 1-5 in last 6 games. Even more important struggling Keller for Pirates gets hammered again. Cincinnati had edge on both sides here, Take Reds to win on the moneyline tonight.

5/19/25
3-Unit Play:
#951 / #952 Cincinnati / Pittsburgh (UNDER 8) *6:40 EST
The Pirates, even though they're 15-32, take teams and games like this seriously, especially at home. The Pirates are putting Mitch Keller on the hill. Keller, with six pitches in his satchel, relies on his best pitch, when needed: The Sweeper - Opponents are hitting just .167 against it. Starter Lodolo for Cincy has a 1.44 road ERA and the Pirates are barely scraping 3 runs a game and cannot get runs across the plate, as they are 8-1-1 to the Under in their last 10 games. The Reds are 8-2 tot he Under their last 10 games.

7-Unit Play - #973 Kansas City +115 over San Francisco (Monday, May 19, 2025, 9:45pm ET)
Take Kansas City on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Monday night. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Kansas City here tonight. Bubic has an ERA of just 1.66 overall this season and a WHIP of 1.10. Bubic also has an ERA of just 1.48 over his last five starts averaging six innings per start and he has given up just one earned run over his last three starts spanning 18.1 innings of work with 19 strikeouts and just 3 walks. Kansas City has the better pitcher on the mound here tonight and San Francisco has hit just .224 as a team against lefty starters this season with an on-base percentage of just .285 averaging just 2.9 hits per game. Bubic has an ERA of just 1.88 in five starts on the road this season with 31 strikeouts in 28.2 innings of work. Play Kansas City moneyline
Scott Spreitzer
4-Unit Play: Take 951 Reds -125 over Pirates (6:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
I’m backing the Reds on Monday night. Cincinnati aims for their 5th straight win, while handing Pittsburgh its 4th straight loss. Nick Lodolo has strong road numbers while Mitch Keller has been a mess at home. We also have the much stronger offensive metrics and the better pen. I’m backing the Reds. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
2-Unit Play: Take 969 Orioles -105 over Brewers (7:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
There’s a reason why Baltimore isn’t a decent-sized underdog tonight. For one thing, Milwaukee starter Quinn Priester’s stuff+ and pitching+ numbers leave a lot to be desired. He walks a lot of batters and has an ERA north of 5.00 at home. Dean Kremer has pitched well in three May starts including two outings against red-hot Minnesota. He has a 2.75 ERA & 0.91 WHIP this month, while walking less than 2.3 batters per 9 IP. The White Sox are the only team with worse hitting metrics at home against righties than the Brewers and these two pens are fairly even. I’m backing Baltimore. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
August Young
7-Unit Play - [963] Cleveland Guardians +120 over Minnesota Twins (5/19 | 7:40PM EST) The market is way too high on the Twins right now after their recent 13-game winning streak. However; while we aren't attempting to take anything away from them - the strength of schedule was lacking. For example, six of those wins came against the mess that is the Baltimore Orioles, and two vs. a struggling Brewers team. The Twins are 15-6 at home, but 11-15 on the road for a -16.7% ROI. The divergence between the two is astounding and we expect them to converge sooner, rather than later. We still need to acknowledge the fact that this is a Minnesota team that rank middle of the pack regarding wRC+ at 1% below league average. The Guardians walk more, strike out less, and rank almost identical when it comes to SLG and wOBA. They've had a rougher run as of late, but they are still sitting at 25-21 on the season. Logan Allen has been solid with a 3.70 ERA and he also ranks better when it comes to some vital advanced metrics compared to Bailey Ober. In our opinion, the wrong team is favored and we're putting our undefeated 3-0 MLB big play streak on the line with the dogs.
Strike Point Sports
3-Unit Play. Take #953 Chicago (NL) (-1.5, -105) over Miami (6:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
Miami has always done a good job with their pitching staff and that has been something they have relied on in years past, but their pitching has not been good this season. The Marlins rank 28th out of 30 in team ERA which sits at 5.34 and it is going to be tough to lower that number when one of the highest scoring teams in baseball comes into town. Edward Cabrera is set to toe the rubber for Miami and he is still in search of his first win on the season. Cabrera has pitched well in his last two starts, but that was against two of the weaker teams in baseball and I think it will be a different result against the Cubs. Ben Brown has had some rough starts at Wrigley Field, but he has been fantastic in winning all three of his starts on the road allowing just 3 earned runs over 17 innings pitched. Brown has benefitted from some extraordinary run support in his three starts on the road as the offense scored double digit runs in all three matchups. I like the Cubs to get the win in this one.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

Monday May 19th 2025-
3 Unit Play Take #974 'under' 4 runs 1st 5 innings (-115) Kansas City/San Francisco (9:45pm est):
This is a 1st 5 innings bet. Kansas City starter Kris Bubic looked awesome in his last start striking out 9 batters while also hitting a season high on the radar gun averaging 93.4 miles per hour with his fastball and posting a very impressive swinging strike rate of nearly 24%. That's three straight fantastic starts now for the 27 year-old left-hander coming into this one tonight.
On the other side of things San Francisco counters here with starter Robbie Ray in this contest. The veteran southpaw also pitched very well his last time out striking out 9 batters. Ray allowed three earned runs in the 1st inning of that game to a very good Arizona offense but after that he shut the Diamondbacks down. Ray has been dealing with injuries the last few years but appears to finally be healthy and getting back to his old dominant self.
Play 'under' total runs in the 1st 5 innings of this game.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe
Griffin Murphy
2 Unit Play - Take The New York Mets @ Boston Red Sox (OVER 9 Total Runs) (6:45p.m, Monday, May 19th)
Senga and Dobbins get the rubber match here in Boston tonight. Senga comes into this game backing New York with a 4-2 record and an incredible 1.02 ERA. Dobbins is 2-1 on the year with a 3.90 ERA. Senga and Dobbins also are dominant across strikeout-to-walk diversification, so why in the world is this total not 7.5 as opposed to a whopping 9 runs? The Mets are also 1st in the MLB when it comes to runs allowed, and Boston has home-field advantage here tonight. The total makes absolutely zero sense, and the market is begging us to take the UNDER here. I am backing Boston here and the OVER, as I expect this to be a one-sided game, and Boston is just +110 on the moneyline, so the market wants you all over New York at a fair -130 line. Not falling for this trap. Let's drill the OVER and Boston here.
Take The New York Mets @ Boston Red Sox (OVER 9 Total Runs)
Griffin Murphy
1 Unit Play - Take Detroit Tigers @ St. Louis Cardinals (OVER 8 Total Runs) (7:45p.m, Monday, May 19th)
Sonny Gray gets the start for St. Louis with a 4-1 record, 50 innings of work, 51 strikeouts, and just 12 walks. Keider Montero gets the start for Detroit with 25 innings of work, a 4.68 ERA, 18 strikeouts, and 11 walks. Sonny Gray has been a massive name in the bigs for years on end, so this is some public trap bait to the under. Montero has a high strikeout-to-walk diversification, and if he comes in wild here tonight, St. Louis is 2nd in team batting average, 9th in slugging percentage, and 5th when it comes to on-base percentage. Detroit also scorches offensively, averaging 5.4 runs per game offensively. I believe the total rips way over 8 runs here today, as this game is begging for an UNDER play. Let's flip the script and pound the OVER.
Take Detroit Tigers @ St. Louis Cardinals (OVER 8 Total Runs)
Griffin Murphy
1 Unit Play - Take Los Angeles Angels @ The Athletics (OVER 9.5 Total Runs) (10:05p.m, Monday, May 19th)
Jose Soriano gets the start with a strong 3.46 ERA. J.T. Ginn gets the start for the Athletics with a 1-1 record, 13.2 innings of work, and a high 4.61 ERA. The Angels are 20th in baseball when it comes to offensive runs scored, averaging 4 runs a game. The Athletics are averaging 4.2 runs a game offensively. So, neither of these two teams can hit. The Athletics have lost 5 games in a row and have home-field advantage tonight. Los Angeles is on a 3-game winning streak and a slow 5-5 in their last 10 games. Where is this high total of 9.5 runs coming from? This is a huge trap, and I believe we will see tons of runs tonight.
Take Los Angeles Angels @ The Athletics (OVER 9.5 Total Runs)

4 Unit Play: Take #974 San Francisco Giants ML (-130) over Kansas City Royals (9:45p.m, Monday, May 19th)
We have the Kansas City Royals headed to San Fran to take on the Giants here for a three-game series. Both teams are coming into this game off wins in their last performances. The Royals just beat the Cardinals yesterday by a 2-1 final. While the Giants are on a three-game winning streak just swept the Athletics over the weekend. For the Royals, they’ll have Kris Bubic back on the mound with a 4-2 record this season. Last outing went 6.1 innings pitched, 6 hits, and 1 earned run. He will be matched up against the Giants' ace, Robby Ray. Robby has a 6-0 record this season with 50 innings of work. In his last three starts, he's picked up the win. The Giants are playing at home against a Royals team that is struggling to produce runs in games. The Royals are only managing to score an average of 3.3 runs per game. Take the Giants here with Ray on the mound. I anticipate a strong performance from the Giants tonight. Take the San Francisco Giants moneyline over the Kansas City Royals.

2 Unit Play: Take #968 BOS Red SOX (Alternative Run Line -1.5: +200) over New York Mets (6:45p.m, Monday, May 19th)
We have the New York Mets headed to Boston to face these Red Sox here tonight. The New York Mets just dropped their last game to the New York Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball. Now, the match will be a quick turnaround for this Mets team headed into Fenway. Boston, on the other hand, just got smoked by the Braves at home yesterday by a score of 10-4. Now they’ll have Hunter Dobbins on the mound here tonight with a 2-1 record. His last outing came against the Tigers, where he went 5 innings, 9 hits, and 5 earned runs. While the Mets will have Kodai Senga back on the mound with a 4-2 record and an ERA sitting just over 1,. This is a game that I love to take advantage of: a team that plays on Sunday Night Baseball and has to travel the next day to play a game. These Mets are going to be tired from the weekend series. Now going into Fenway, where it’s not the easiest place to play. The score can turn on you quickly. I think the Red Sox bounce back after yesterday's performance. Yes, the Mets lost 8-2 in that game yesterday. But going into the 8th inning, it was a 2-2 ballgame. I think the Red Sox come out scoring runs tonight at home and take game one of this series by more than a run. Take the Red Sox on the alternative run line +200 over the New York Mets.
Take #968 BOS Red SOX (Alternative Run Line -1.5: +200) over New York Mets
Nick Menken
2 Unit Play: Take #959 HOU Astros ML (+115) over TB Rays (7:05p.m, Monday, May 19th)
We have the Houston Astros taking on the Tampa Bay Rays here tonight. The Astros won their last game yesterday against the Rangers 4-3. While they’re now 6-4 in their last ten games. The Tampa Bay Rays just dropped yesterday to the Marlins 5-1 in Miami. For the Astros, Colton Gordon will make the start with only one game started this year, with 4.1 innings pitched, 7 hits, and 3 earned runs against the Royals. He will be matched up against the Rays' Ryan Pepiot, who has a 2-5 record in 50.1 innings pitched. His last start got the loss against the Blue Jays, going 6 innings with 6 hits and 3 earned runs. This Rays team has dropped in their offensive production since the start of the season. They are just not scoring guys on base. The Astros are looking like the more complete team coming into this series. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gordon is on the mound for the Astros tonight. I think the Astros get the win tonight on the road in game one of this series. Take the Houston Astros moneyline over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Take #959 HOU Astros ML (+115) over TB Rays

4-Unit Play: Take 951 Reds -125 over Pirates (6:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)I’m backing the Reds on Monday night. Cincinnati aims for their 5th straight win, while handing Pittsburgh its 4th straight loss. Nick Lodolo has strong road numbers while Mitch Keller has been a mess at home. We also have the much stronger offensive metrics and the better pen. I’m backing the Reds. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
2-Unit Play: Take 969 Orioles -105 over Brewers (7:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)
There’s a reason why Baltimore isn’t a decent-sized underdog tonight. For one thing, Milwaukee starter Quinn Priester’s stuff+ and pitching+ numbers leave a lot to be desired. He walks a lot of batters and has an ERA north of 5.00 at home. Dean Kremer has pitched well in three May starts including two outings against red-hot Minnesota. He has a 2.75 ERA & 0.91 WHIP this month, while walking less than 2.3 batters per 9 IP. The White Sox are the only team with worse hitting metrics at home against righties than the Brewers and these two pens are fairly even. I’m backing Baltimore. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

7-Unit Play - [963] Cleveland Guardians +120 over Minnesota Twins (5/19 | 7:40PM EST) The market is way too high on the Twins right now after their recent 13-game winning streak. However; while we aren't attempting to take anything away from them - the strength of schedule was lacking. For example, six of those wins came against the mess that is the Baltimore Orioles, and two vs. a struggling Brewers team. The Twins are 15-6 at home, but 11-15 on the road for a -16.7% ROI. The divergence between the two is astounding and we expect them to converge sooner, rather than later. We still need to acknowledge the fact that this is a Minnesota team that rank middle of the pack regarding wRC+ at 1% below league average. The Guardians walk more, strike out less, and rank almost identical when it comes to SLG and wOBA. They've had a rougher run as of late, but they are still sitting at 25-21 on the season. Logan Allen has been solid with a 3.70 ERA and he also ranks better when it comes to some vital advanced metrics compared to Bailey Ober. In our opinion, the wrong team is favored and we're putting our undefeated 3-0 MLB big play streak on the line with the dogs.Strike Point Sports
3-Unit Play. Take #953 Chicago (NL) (-1.5, -105) over Miami (6:40 p.m., Monday, May 19)Miami has always done a good job with their pitching staff and that has been something they have relied on in years past, but their pitching has not been good this season. The Marlins rank 28th out of 30 in team ERA which sits at 5.34 and it is going to be tough to lower that number when one of the highest scoring teams in baseball comes into town. Edward Cabrera is set to toe the rubber for Miami and he is still in search of his first win on the season. Cabrera has pitched well in his last two starts, but that was against two of the weaker teams in baseball and I think it will be a different result against the Cubs. Ben Brown has had some rough starts at Wrigley Field, but he has been fantastic in winning all three of his starts on the road allowing just 3 earned runs over 17 innings pitched. Brown has benefitted from some extraordinary run support in his three starts on the road as the offense scored double digit runs in all three matchups. I like the Cubs to get the win in this one.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

Monday May 19th 2025-3 Unit Play Take #974 'under' 4 runs 1st 5 innings (-115) Kansas City/San Francisco (9:45pm est):
This is a 1st 5 innings bet. Kansas City starter Kris Bubic looked awesome in his last start striking out 9 batters while also hitting a season high on the radar gun averaging 93.4 miles per hour with his fastball and posting a very impressive swinging strike rate of nearly 24%. That's three straight fantastic starts now for the 27 year-old left-hander coming into this one tonight.
On the other side of things San Francisco counters here with starter Robbie Ray in this contest. The veteran southpaw also pitched very well his last time out striking out 9 batters. Ray allowed three earned runs in the 1st inning of that game to a very good Arizona offense but after that he shut the Diamondbacks down. Ray has been dealing with injuries the last few years but appears to finally be healthy and getting back to his old dominant self.
Play 'under' total runs in the 1st 5 innings of this game.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

2 Unit Play - Take The New York Mets @ Boston Red Sox (OVER 9 Total Runs) (6:45p.m, Monday, May 19th)Senga and Dobbins get the rubber match here in Boston tonight. Senga comes into this game backing New York with a 4-2 record and an incredible 1.02 ERA. Dobbins is 2-1 on the year with a 3.90 ERA. Senga and Dobbins also are dominant across strikeout-to-walk diversification, so why in the world is this total not 7.5 as opposed to a whopping 9 runs? The Mets are also 1st in the MLB when it comes to runs allowed, and Boston has home-field advantage here tonight. The total makes absolutely zero sense, and the market is begging us to take the UNDER here. I am backing Boston here and the OVER, as I expect this to be a one-sided game, and Boston is just +110 on the moneyline, so the market wants you all over New York at a fair -130 line. Not falling for this trap. Let's drill the OVER and Boston here.

1 Unit Play - Take Detroit Tigers @ St. Louis Cardinals (OVER 8 Total Runs) (7:45p.m, Monday, May 19th)
Sonny Gray gets the start for St. Louis with a 4-1 record, 50 innings of work, 51 strikeouts, and just 12 walks. Keider Montero gets the start for Detroit with 25 innings of work, a 4.68 ERA, 18 strikeouts, and 11 walks. Sonny Gray has been a massive name in the bigs for years on end, so this is some public trap bait to the under. Montero has a high strikeout-to-walk diversification, and if he comes in wild here tonight, St. Louis is 2nd in team batting average, 9th in slugging percentage, and 5th when it comes to on-base percentage. Detroit also scorches offensively, averaging 5.4 runs per game offensively. I believe the total rips way over 8 runs here today, as this game is begging for an UNDER play. Let's flip the script and pound the OVER.
Take Detroit Tigers @ St. Louis Cardinals (OVER 8 Total Runs)

1 Unit Play - Take Los Angeles Angels @ The Athletics (OVER 9.5 Total Runs) (10:05p.m, Monday, May 19th)
Jose Soriano gets the start with a strong 3.46 ERA. J.T. Ginn gets the start for the Athletics with a 1-1 record, 13.2 innings of work, and a high 4.61 ERA. The Angels are 20th in baseball when it comes to offensive runs scored, averaging 4 runs a game. The Athletics are averaging 4.2 runs a game offensively. So, neither of these two teams can hit. The Athletics have lost 5 games in a row and have home-field advantage tonight. Los Angeles is on a 3-game winning streak and a slow 5-5 in their last 10 games. Where is this high total of 9.5 runs coming from? This is a huge trap, and I believe we will see tons of runs tonight.

4 Unit Play: Take #974 San Francisco Giants ML (-130) over Kansas City Royals (9:45p.m, Monday, May 19th)We have the Kansas City Royals headed to San Fran to take on the Giants here for a three-game series. Both teams are coming into this game off wins in their last performances. The Royals just beat the Cardinals yesterday by a 2-1 final. While the Giants are on a three-game winning streak just swept the Athletics over the weekend. For the Royals, they’ll have Kris Bubic back on the mound with a 4-2 record this season. Last outing went 6.1 innings pitched, 6 hits, and 1 earned run. He will be matched up against the Giants' ace, Robby Ray. Robby has a 6-0 record this season with 50 innings of work. In his last three starts, he's picked up the win. The Giants are playing at home against a Royals team that is struggling to produce runs in games. The Royals are only managing to score an average of 3.3 runs per game. Take the Giants here with Ray on the mound. I anticipate a strong performance from the Giants tonight. Take the San Francisco Giants moneyline over the Kansas City Royals.

2 Unit Play: Take #968 BOS Red SOX (Alternative Run Line -1.5: +200) over New York Mets (6:45p.m, Monday, May 19th)
We have the New York Mets headed to Boston to face these Red Sox here tonight. The New York Mets just dropped their last game to the New York Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball. Now, the match will be a quick turnaround for this Mets team headed into Fenway. Boston, on the other hand, just got smoked by the Braves at home yesterday by a score of 10-4. Now they’ll have Hunter Dobbins on the mound here tonight with a 2-1 record. His last outing came against the Tigers, where he went 5 innings, 9 hits, and 5 earned runs. While the Mets will have Kodai Senga back on the mound with a 4-2 record and an ERA sitting just over 1,. This is a game that I love to take advantage of: a team that plays on Sunday Night Baseball and has to travel the next day to play a game. These Mets are going to be tired from the weekend series. Now going into Fenway, where it’s not the easiest place to play. The score can turn on you quickly. I think the Red Sox bounce back after yesterday's performance. Yes, the Mets lost 8-2 in that game yesterday. But going into the 8th inning, it was a 2-2 ballgame. I think the Red Sox come out scoring runs tonight at home and take game one of this series by more than a run. Take the Red Sox on the alternative run line +200 over the New York Mets.

2 Unit Play: Take #959 HOU Astros ML (+115) over TB Rays (7:05p.m, Monday, May 19th)
We have the Houston Astros taking on the Tampa Bay Rays here tonight. The Astros won their last game yesterday against the Rangers 4-3. While they’re now 6-4 in their last ten games. The Tampa Bay Rays just dropped yesterday to the Marlins 5-1 in Miami. For the Astros, Colton Gordon will make the start with only one game started this year, with 4.1 innings pitched, 7 hits, and 3 earned runs against the Royals. He will be matched up against the Rays' Ryan Pepiot, who has a 2-5 record in 50.1 innings pitched. His last start got the loss against the Blue Jays, going 6 innings with 6 hits and 3 earned runs. This Rays team has dropped in their offensive production since the start of the season. They are just not scoring guys on base. The Astros are looking like the more complete team coming into this series. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gordon is on the mound for the Astros tonight. I think the Astros get the win tonight on the road in game one of this series. Take the Houston Astros moneyline over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Take #959 HOU Astros ML (+115) over TB Rays
