2 Unit Play. Take #962 Chicago -110 over Athletics (2:10p.m., Saturday, July 11 MLB.tv) A pair of southpaws are set to do battle on Saturday in the Windy City. Chicago got back on track last night winning 14-1to end their 3 game losing streak. I see them taking down Sacramento as well in this game and winning this series before the All-Star break.

2-Unit Play. Take #964 Minnesota (-1.5, +115) over L.A. Angels (2 p.m., Saturday, July 11)
The Angels stole the first game of this series. They have been do bad on the road that I don’t see them doing it again. Major mismatch on the mound in Minnesota’s direction.
1-Unit Play. Take #972 N.Y. Yankees (-1.5, -115) over Washington (4 p.m., Saturday, July 11)

6-Unit Play. Take #960 L.A. Dodgers (-1.5, -120) over Arizona (10 p.m., Saturday, July 11)
The Dodgers dumped the first game of this series to the rival Diamondbacks. I see them snapping back here. Arizona has not wanted to rush Brandon Pfaadt back into the rotation. In fact, they don’t want him there at all. But they don’t have any options. He threw five scoreless in his last start. I don’t see him doing it again, though. He has a 4.84 ERA this season after putting up a 5.25 last year and a 4.71 the year prior. He is 4-2 with a 5.32 ERA in his career against the Dodgers and has a 6.20 ERA in this ballpark in four career appearances. I think the Dodgers get one back by jumping him today.

4-Unit Play. Take #976 Miami (-150, moneyline) Over Cleveland (4:10 pm, Saturday July 11)
The Marlins have been scorching hot the past two-plus weeks and look ready to bounce back after dropping the opener. Miami holds a massive pitching edge - Eury Pérez has been dominant, allowing more than one earned run in none of his last five starts. Take the Marlins on the moneyline today.

7-Unit Play. Take #979/980 'Over' 8 (-105) Toronto at San Diego (8:40 p.m., Sat, July 11)
This is a bit of a contrarian play because Trey Yesavage does have good numbers. However, I trust the Padres to hit him here at home and I also trust the Blue Jays to pound a struggling Walker Buehler in this one. Buehler has been obliterated for 16 earned runs in his last 2 starts and he gave up 5 homers in these two outings. He is facing a Blue Jays lineup growing in confidence as they have won 3 straight games and scored an average of 8 runs per game! Also, Toronto has seen 6 of its last 8 games reach a total of at least 8 runs so I do like the value of the low total here. I know this is a contrarian outlook on this one but I do expect Trey Yesavage will struggle some here. The Blue Jays right-hander has a 3.83 ERA in his night games this season and he did allow 14 earned runs in the first 3 of his 5 starts last month. He is a solid pitcher but the Padres had scored an average of 5 runs in their last 8 home games prior to now suffering B2B low-scoring losses. San Diego bounces back here at the plate tonight and the Blue Jays pound away at the plate as Buehler gets rocked. 7* OVER 8 -105 in San Diego

3 Unit Play. Take #964 Minnesota (-1.5 RL) +110 over Los Angeles (2:10p.m., Saturday, July 11 MLB.tv) The Twins do not want to lose a series to the Halos, and I see them evening up this series on Saturday behind their ace. Joe Ryan has a 2.84 E.R.A. and a 1.04 WHIP and he team wants to get back on track and close to .500 mark before the All-Star Break. Getting them at an underdog price on Saturday is too good to pass up.

A surprising blowout / shutout win by the Reds on Friday and I expect the Cubs to bounce back today. Assad is on the bump and the Cubs are 5-0 behind him his last 5 starts, and in those 5 starts he has a 2.00 ERA. He is the better pitcher in this game as Lodolo toes the rubber for the Reds, and he carries a 5.50 home ERA this year, and the Cubs their last 10 games have hit southpaws at .275 as a team. Better yet against Lodolo they have hit him at .320 as a team. Lodolo has 1 win in his last 5 starts. I know the Cubs bullpen has been a liability as of late, but I think they get runs early here and outpace the Reds tonight.

4-Unit Play: #967 Houston +105 over Texas (Saturday, July 11, 2026, 7:05pm ET)
Take Houston moneyline as my top MLB pick for Saturday. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like Houston in this spot on the road today as they look to avoid three straight losses. Rocker has pitched better on the road than at home this season and he has a 4.20 ERA at home this season and opponents have hit .280 against him over his last five outings. Texas has hit just .237 as a team lifetime against Lambert who has pitched better on the road than at home this season with a 3.08 ERA and opponents hitting just .214 against him. Lambert has pitched great over his last four outings with a 2.74 ERA and opponents hitting just .188 against him. Play Houston moneyline.

6-Unit Play: Take 979 Blue Jays +105 over Padres (8:40 p.m., Saturday, July 11)
After winning their fourth straight game on May 18, the Padres were cookin’ with a 29-18 record. Then the bats went silent and the Friars have won just 17 of their last 47 games. They’re the lowest scoring team on average in MLB and I don’t like their chances of crossing home plate too often tonight. Trey Yesavage has allowed just seven earned runs and 19 base runners in his last 25.2 IP over four starts. Meanwhile, the Padres are going with Walker Buehler, who after a strong month of June, has allowed a whopping 16 earned runs, 19 base runners, and four homers in his last two starts, over 9 IP. Toronto aims for their fourth straight win. I’m backing the Blue Jays on Saturday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

4-Unit Play (962) Athletics/Chicago White Sox UNDER 9 -125 (7/11 @ 2:10PM EST) Well, we haven't had much value the last few days, but we have one of our busiest days in a while here! Good stuff. The White Sox have been one of the better over teams this season, and have been a surprise to many. However, the market is starting to catch up which is evident by their 3-4 record to the over their last seven. All of those numbers were below the key number of 9, and now the market is bumping up even more. Bryan Hudson has been outstanding for Chicago. He has a 2.25 ERA and while this will be a bullpen game; we don't fear the A's offense much as it currently ranks far below league average in predictive and strength adjusted wRC+. This line is inflated based on recency bias surrounding Gage Jump who has allowed five earned runs in back to back games, but he was dealing prior to that. We like the under at this number.
4-Unit Play (972) Washington Nationals +170 over New York Yankees (7/11 @ 4:05PM EST) The Yankees have won two-straight, but are we forgetting their 2-11 record prior to that? They are still without Aaron Judge and the lack of offensive production has been evident. The Nats have been competitive this season and have been one of the better offenses in baseball as of late, scoring 6.55 runs per game their last nine. In fact, Washington ranks 4th best in the league in wRC+ at 8% above league average and sits higher than the Yankees. We appreciate Cam Schlittler has been elite, but he can be rocked as we saw in his outing vs the Tigers. This is a value play as we simply do not believe the Yankees should be up near -200 vs. a winning opponent.
4-Unit Play (958) Atlanta Braves/St. Louis Cardinals UNDER 8.5 -120 (7/11 @ 7:15PM EST) Reynaldo Lopez has a 3.18 ERA and has only allowed two earned runs his last seven starts. The Cards will counter with Matthew Liberatore and that is the main concern for us here. Liberatore has an ugly 5.34 ERA and 5.49 xERA, but he has been better his last few starts. We're hoping he has some confidence here vs. the Braves who have been a little cold by their standards on the offensive end in three of their last four games. Would have loved a 9 here, but the juice to the under at 8.5 is telling.
4-Unit Play (960) Arizona Diamondbacks/Los Angeles Dodgers UNDER 9 -120 (7/11 @ 9:10PM EST) These two teams are built for unders this season. The Diamondbacks are 51-40 to the under, whereas Los Angeles are 51-44. The under has cashed in four of the last six head-to-head meetings and we think another happens here. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been obscenely good. He has a 2.49 ERA and ranks in the upper percentile of the league in almost every single important predictive metric. Brandon Pfaadt is having a down/regression season but he has been much better as of late, which included a 5.0 inning shutout vs the Padres in his last outing. Value on the under based on our numbers, especially at the key number of 9.

2-Unit Play. Take #964 Minnesota (-1.5, +120) over Los Angeles (AL) (2:10 p.m. Saturday, July 11)
Minnesota is in a difficult position as to what they are going to do as the trade deadline approaches. They are not playing great baseball, but since the American League Central has been an absolute mess for most of the season, they are just 3 games out of first place. Enter today’s starter Joe Ryan, who the Twins could get a nice haul for if they decide to trade him. Ryan is having another solid season (6-5, 2.85 ERA, 19 starts) and has been filthy during his 7 day starts going 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA. The Angels are in the midst of another floundering season as they are tied with the Royals for the worst record in baseball at 38-57. Ryan Johnson has not proved to be an effective pitcher in the majors yet over his 22 appearances (5 starts this season) the past two seasons, as his ERA is 7.12. In the 8 appearances Johnson has made this season, Los Angeles has lost 7 of those and I think the Angels are going to have a hard time getting anything going against Ryan. Take the Twins in this one.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

3 Unit Play Take #976 Miami -150 over Cleveland (4:10pm est):
Miami has the best record in baseball since June 17th winning 16 of their 21 games overall. A big reason for that is their offense has been top ranked in offensive wRC+ and OPS as well during that time. Thy go with starter Eury Perez here in this one. Perez has been lights out since returning from injury three starts ago allowing just 2 earned runs in 17 innings of work and comes in off a perfect 7 inning start in his last contest where he faced 21 hitters and all 21 didn't get on base safely.
Play Miami.
3 Unit Play Take #978 Detroit +120 over Philadelphia (6:10pm est):
There comes a time during the MLB season where a team catches fire and it's a smart idea to look to back them. I think we have that right now with this Detroit Tigers team that has rattled off 9 wins in their last 10 games. The Tigers are finally healthy are starting to look like the back to back playoff team they have been the past two years. Casey Mize will take the hill for them in this one and he's a much better pitcher at pitcher friendly Comerica Park where his ERA is a full run better this season than on the road.
Take Detroit to win this game.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

1 Unit Play - Take #960 LA Dodgers (-1.5, -125) Over ARI Diamondbacks. (9:10p.m, Saturday, July 11th)
Brandon Pfaadt gets the start for the D-Backs tonight with a 2-1 record, 48.1 innings of work, and a 4.84 ERA. Last season Pfaadt went 4-6 on the road with a 7.71 ERA. Tonight he is dealing with a Dodgers team that is 31-17 at home and 2nd in baseball when it comes to offensive runs per game. Yamamoto is on the rubber for the Dodgers with a 9-5 record and a dynamite 2.49 ERA. We don't expect Arizona to have much offense tonight, while we believe the Dodgers will drill Pfaadt in this one.

7-Unit Play: MLB Take #955 CHC Cubs ML (-105) over CIN Reds (7:40PM, Saturday, July 11th)
We are backing the Chicago Cubs on the moneyline tonight, targeting a decisive bounce-back spot after they were completely blanked in the series opener. The Cubs suffered a tough 4-0 shutout loss at Great American Ball Park yesterday, but the situational trends heavily favor a quick reset. Cincinnati has been historically awful in NL Central play this season, dragging a brutal 6-20 divisional record into tonight's game. They struggle immensely to sustain success against familiar division rivals, meaning yesterday's win was much more of an anomaly than a turning point. Chicago hands the ball to right-hander Javier Assad, who has been an incredibly reliable anchor with his 6-1 record and a solid 4.15 ERA. Assad is coming off a sharp outing against the Cardinals where he cruised through 4.2 innings while surrendering just two hits. His ability to limit hard contact should keep the Reds' volatile hitters at bay early. The Reds counter with lefty Nick Lodolo. While Lodolo has decent stuff, the Cubs' disciplined lineup is well-equipped to attack left-handed pitching and bounce back aggressively after yesterday's quiet showing. With the line continually dropping and shading toward the visitors, the market is signaling a strong Cubs response. Take Chicago to even up the series.

The Cards will counter with Matthew Liberatore and that is the main concern for us here. Liberatore has an ugly 5.34 ERA and 5.49 xERA, but he has been better his last few starts. We're hoping he has some confidence here vs. the Braves who have been a little cold by their standards on the offensive end in three of their last four games. Would have loved a 9 here, but the juice to the under at 8.5 is telling.
4-Unit Play (960) Arizona Diamondbacks/Los Angeles Dodgers UNDER 9 -120 (7/11 @ 9:10PM EST) These two teams are built for unders this season. The Diamondbacks are 51-40 to the under, whereas Los Angeles are 51-44. The under has cashed in four of the last six head-to-head meetings and we think another happens here. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been obscenely good. He has a 2.49 ERA and ranks in the upper percentile of the league in almost every single important predictive metric. Brandon Pfaadt is having a down/regression season but he has been much better as of late, which included a 5.0 inning shutout vs the Padres in his last outing. Value on the under based on our numbers, especially at the key number of 9.

2-Unit Play. Take #964 Minnesota (-1.5, +120) over Los Angeles (AL) (2:10 p.m. Saturday, July 11)Minnesota is in a difficult position as to what they are going to do as the trade deadline approaches. They are not playing great baseball, but since the American League Central has been an absolute mess for most of the season, they are just 3 games out of first place. Enter today’s starter Joe Ryan, who the Twins could get a nice haul for if they decide to trade him. Ryan is having another solid season (6-5, 2.85 ERA, 19 starts) and has been filthy during his 7 day starts going 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA. The Angels are in the midst of another floundering season as they are tied with the Royals for the worst record in baseball at 38-57. Ryan Johnson has not proved to be an effective pitcher in the majors yet over his 22 appearances (5 starts this season) the past two seasons, as his ERA is 7.12. In the 8 appearances Johnson has made this season, Los Angeles has lost 7 of those and I think the Angels are going to have a hard time getting anything going against Ryan. Take the Twins in this one.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

Saturday July 11th 2026-3 Unit Play Take #976 Miami -150 over Cleveland (4:10pm est):
Miami has the best record in baseball since June 17th winning 16 of their 21 games overall. A big reason for that is their offense has been top ranked in offensive wRC+ and OPS as well during that time. Thy go with starter Eury Perez here in this one. Perez has been lights out since returning from injury three starts ago allowing just 2 earned runs in 17 innings of work and comes in off a perfect 7 inning start in his last contest where he faced 21 hitters and all 21 didn't get on base safely.
Play Miami.
3 Unit Play Take #978 Detroit +120 over Philadelphia (6:10pm est):
There comes a time during the MLB season where a team catches fire and it's a smart idea to look to back them. I think we have that right now with this Detroit Tigers team that has rattled off 9 wins in their last 10 games. The Tigers are finally healthy are starting to look like the back to back playoff team they have been the past two years. Casey Mize will take the hill for them in this one and he's a much better pitcher at pitcher friendly Comerica Park where his ERA is a full run better this season than on the road.
Take Detroit to win this game.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

1 Unit Play - Take #960 LA Dodgers (-1.5, -125) Over ARI Diamondbacks. (9:10p.m, Saturday, July 11th)Brandon Pfaadt gets the start for the D-Backs tonight with a 2-1 record, 48.1 innings of work, and a 4.84 ERA. Last season Pfaadt went 4-6 on the road with a 7.71 ERA. Tonight he is dealing with a Dodgers team that is 31-17 at home and 2nd in baseball when it comes to offensive runs per game. Yamamoto is on the rubber for the Dodgers with a 9-5 record and a dynamite 2.49 ERA. We don't expect Arizona to have much offense tonight, while we believe the Dodgers will drill Pfaadt in this one.

7-Unit Play: MLB Take #955 CHC Cubs ML (-105) over CIN Reds (7:40PM, Saturday, July 11th)We are backing the Chicago Cubs on the moneyline tonight, targeting a decisive bounce-back spot after they were completely blanked in the series opener. The Cubs suffered a tough 4-0 shutout loss at Great American Ball Park yesterday, but the situational trends heavily favor a quick reset. Cincinnati has been historically awful in NL Central play this season, dragging a brutal 6-20 divisional record into tonight's game. They struggle immensely to sustain success against familiar division rivals, meaning yesterday's win was much more of an anomaly than a turning point. Chicago hands the ball to right-hander Javier Assad, who has been an incredibly reliable anchor with his 6-1 record and a solid 4.15 ERA. Assad is coming off a sharp outing against the Cardinals where he cruised through 4.2 innings while surrendering just two hits. His ability to limit hard contact should keep the Reds' volatile hitters at bay early. The Reds counter with lefty Nick Lodolo. While Lodolo has decent stuff, the Cubs' disciplined lineup is well-equipped to attack left-handed pitching and bounce back aggressively after yesterday's quiet showing. With the line continually dropping and shading toward the visitors, the market is signaling a strong Cubs response. Take Chicago to even up the series.
