7 Unit Play. Take #973 Texas -130 over Los Angeles (10:10p.m., Wednesday, August 12 MLB.tv) No bet against the Halos is a bad bet! Texas has visions of making the playoffs and they do not want to drop a series to Los Angeles. The Rangers have been lucky to win on Monday, and they are due for a blowout win against one of the worst teams in the league. Neither starting pitcher is very good, but I trust the Texas roster much better than I do the Los Angeles roster. The Angeles are batting .191 as a team in their last 10 games and have been outscored by 18 runs. Los Angeles is 7-15 during the second half of the season. If Texas wants to hold onto the final wild card spot, these are the type of series that they must win.

4-Unit Play. Take #955 San Diego (+105) Over Milwaukee (4 pm, Wednesday August 12)
The Padres have transformed into a strong team since the All-Star break, averaging over 5 runs per game. They also have a significant starting pitching advantage, with veteran Robbie Ray performing at a much higher level than May. Take the Padres on the moneyline.
3-Unit Play. Take #958 Miami (-115) Over Pittsburgh (6:45 pm, Wednesday August 12)
The Pirates are struggling, with a 2-7 record in their last 9 games, including last night's opener. Miami has a significant advantage in starting pitching, as Junk has been in great form. In his last 6 starts, Junk has recorded 5 quality starts, and that trend continues tonight. Take Miami on the moneyline.
2-Unit Play. Take #970 NY Yankees (-125) Over Seattle (7 pm, Wednesday August 12)
The Mariners slide continues tonight, Seattle is 0-5 in last 5 games including losing first game of series last night. Seattle offense has score 5 runs in last 5 games. Take the Yankees on the moneyline.

3-Unit Play. Take #951 Philadelphia Money Line -155 at St Louis (2:15 p.m., Wed, Aug 12)
The Phillies are in a high-value spot here coming off a tough 2-0 shutout loss yesterday and having a tough Zack Wheeler on the mound. Wheeler is 6-1 with a 2.31 ERA in road games this season. In day games Wheeler is a fantastic 4-0 with a 0.64 ERA in his 5 starts this season! The Cardinals Kyle Leahy gave up only 2 earned runs in 5 innings in his most recent start but on 8 hits. That is a concern as is the fact that lefties have crushed him this season. Philadelphia is stacked with left-handed hitters and Leahy has a 1.83 WHIP and has been hit at a .320 clip when facing left-handed batters. Yes, an average of almost 2 baserunners per inning against lefty sticks. The Cardinals are 0-3 the last 3 times they entered a game off a shutout win! That will be 0-4 after this one goes into the books. 3* PHILADELPHIA -155
4-Unit Play. Take #965/966 'Over' 9.5 (-100) Tampa Bay at Athletics (3:05 p.m., Wed, Aug 12)
Hot weather again today in Sacramento and a hitter-friendly ballpark and afternoon game with favorable winds too. The Rays send Drew Rasmussen to the mound and he is off a string of strong starts but this followed 3 straight starts in the first half of July where he did struggle. Also, he is facing an Athletics team that has the #1 home slugging percentage in the majors this season. The Rays have won 8 straight games and scored an average of 7 runs per game during this hot streak. Tampa Bay will again pound one of the worst bullpens in the majors, the A's pen. Also the Rays should get to struggling Jack Perkins early and often. TB hits well again here. So do the A's at home. 4* OVER 9.5 -100 in Athletics
Arun Shiva (Indian Cowboy)
6-Unit Play. Take Chicago Whitesox -145 over Cincinnati Reds (Wednesday @ 7:40pm)
We roll with Chicago here as they face off against Cincinnati. It's good value right? You get a whitesox team that comes off a loss to the Reds, they didn't score that much last game and of course the Reds are not going to the playoffs. You get a motivated whitesox team that needs every win possible, combined with a team off a loss, a reds pitcher who indeed has won back to back games but who the league is starting to figure out and it makes a lot of sense here to take the whitesox to get it done. 6 football selections tomorrow, already 1-0 to start the football week!

3 Units
Play #973 / #974 Texas / LA Angels (Under 9)
*10 EST
I like this Under. Neither team is scoring lights out, the first 2 games had 5 runs each in the series. Also, both starters are right handers. Last 10 game stats – Texas .201 as a team batting against right handers, LA even worse at .179 as a team batting average. LA goes with a bullpen type approach here. Texas has a solid starter in Quantrill whose ERA is 3.79 his last 5 starts. I just see this a close, low scoring game. This opened at 9.5 and dropped for a reason.
Additional 2 Unit Play

5-Unit Play: #963 Baltimore +100 over Minnesota (Wednesday, August 12, 2026, 1:40pm ET)
Take Baltimore on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Wednesday afternoon. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Baltimore on the road here today. Minnesota has hit just .160 as a team lifetime against Baz with an on-base percentage of just .250 and a slugging percentage of just .240. Baz has pitched better on the road than at home this season with opponents hitting just .232 against him and he has an ERA of just 1.82 over his last four starts. Matthews has really struggled in day game starts this season with an ERA of 8.42 and opponents hitting .283 against him and he has an ERA of 7.58 over his last four starts with opponents hitting .299 against him. Play Baltimore moneyline.
4-Unit Play: #967 Cleveland +110 over Detroit (Wednesday, August 12, 2026, 6:40pm ET)
Take Cleveland 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 Cleveland here tonight. Griffin has an ERA of just 2.79 in 71 innings pitched at night this season with opponents hitting just .211 against him and Detroit has never faced him before. Opponents have also hit just .232 against Griffin overall this season with an on-base percentage of just .287. Cleveland has hit .250 as a team lifetime against Valdez with an on-base percentage of .322. Valdez has an era of 4.58 over his last four starts with opponents hitting .295 against him, and opponents have also hit .259 against him overall this season with an on-base percentage of .333. Play Cleveland moneyline
4-Unit Play: #971 Boston -120 over Toronto (Wednesday, August 12, 2026, 7:07pm 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 here tonight. Toronto has hit just .179 as a team lifetime against Suarez with an on-base percentage of just .193 and slugging percentage of .214. Suarez has also pitched much better on the road this season than at home with an era of just 2.83 and opponents hitting just .232 against him. Boston has hit .333 as a team lifetime in limited at bats against Soriano and we are getting great value with Boston here tonight. Play Boston moneyline
Scott Spreitzer
5-Unit Play: Take Yankees -125 over Mariners (7:40 p.m., Wed., August 12)
I played against Seattle on Tuesday night, and after a sluggish first six innings, the Yankees came through for us. Seattle has now lost five straight and is just 23-35 on the road. The Mariners are also 9-20 over their last 29 games dating back to July 7. During that stretch, Seattle ranks in the bottom third of the league in the offensive metrics I care about most: wRC+, OPS, and batting average. None of those numbers are encouraging. Will Warren’s season-long numbers may not jump off the page, but his 1.26 home WHIP is solid. On the other side, Bryce Miller, much like his team, has been struggling. Seattle has lost each of Miller’s last five starts, allowing 36 runs along the way. Miller has posted a 5.82 ERA over those five outings. I’m backing the Yankees again on Wednesday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
August Young
3-Unit Play (953) Colorado Rockies +1.5, -130 over Arizona Diamondbacks (8/12 @ 3:40PM EST) The Rockies have been an enigma as of late when it comes to the run line. However, we're going back to them here in a situation where they have a real shot at winning outright (although we like the extra insurance in this spot). Ryan Feltner cannot be trusted, but neither can Merrill Kelly who has an absurd 6.97 xERA! All in all, we have to take a position at the current market price on a team that has been profitable and competitive as of late on the run-line, especially in the head-to-head meetings between these two.
Strike Point Sports
3-Unit Play. Take Under 8 Philadelphia at St. Louis (2:15 p.m. Wednesday, August 12)
The Cardinals record stands at 60-60 after last night’s win and they are just 3.5 games out of the final Wild Card berth, but it won’t be easy in today’s matchup. Zack Wheeler is set to toe the rubber for the Phillies and he has been his usual dominant self this season going 10-3 with a 2.69 ERA over 19 starts. Wheeler has really excelled in his 5 starts during the day as he is 4-0, allowing just 2 earned runs across 28 innings while holding opponents to a .118 batting average. Kyle Leahy will be pitching for St. Louis and he has been on an impressive run recently. Over Leahy’s last 8 starts, he has yielded a mere 7 runs over 42.1 innings and I think he can limit Philadelphia in this one to keep this game a low scoring affair.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

4 Unit Play Take #955 Milwaukee -115 over San Diego (4:10pm est):
Milwaukee has once again been one of the best franchises in baseball this year. The Brewers picked up starter Dustin May at the deadline and he has a ton of upside. He looked great in his first start for Milwaukee last week. They made some changes to his arsenal and I think he will be better going forward.
Take Milwaukee.
3 Unit Play Take #968 Detroit -125 over Cleveland (6:40pm est):
Backing this Detroit team again in this one. The Tigers have looked like one of the top teams in baseball since June 1st while Cleveland has been near the bottom of the league during this stretch. At home the Tigers have been solid this season as well.
Take Detroit.
Thank you and good luck,

1 Unit Play - Take #951 PHI Phillies (-160) Over STL Cardinals. (2:15p.m, Wednesday, August 12th)
Zack Wheeler is on the mound with a 10-3 record and a 2.69 ERA. We believe Wheeler will be lights out in this one and backed up by a Phillies team that is 32-27 on the road. St. Louis has struggled with a 31-34 home record and 60-60 on the year. Philly has the big edge here, and we are going to eat the chalk in this one.

6 Units: Take #973 TEX Rangers ML (-130) over LAA Angels (10:10p.m, Wednesday, August 12th)
We're going right back to the Texas Rangers on the moneyline tonight after yesterday's tough 3-2 loss in Anaheim. This is a monster bounce-back spot for Texas. The Rangers are sitting just a half-game behind the Astros for first place in the AL West, so they can’t afford to drop back-to-back games to an Angels squad that has only managed 46 wins all year. The main reason to love Texas here is the pitching matchup. The Angels are sending out rookie George Klassen, and to put it simply, he hasn't been able to find the strike zone. In just 8.2 big-league innings, he’s already handed out 14 walks and has an ERA sitting over 7.00. That’s a total nightmare scenario when facing a disciplined Rangers lineup that loves to work deep counts and capitalize on free passes. On the other side, Texas hands the ball to Cal Quantrill, who’s been rock solid with a 4-4 record and a 3.56 ERA. He’s coming off a sharp outing against the Giants where he threw six innings of one-run ball to grab the win. Quantrill should have no problem keeping this Angels lineup quiet while Texas gets to Klassen early and turns this into an offensive blowout. Take the Rangers moneyline here tonight against the Angels.

The Rangers are sitting just a half-game behind the Astros for first place in the AL West, so they can’t afford to drop back-to-back games to an Angels squad that has only managed 46 wins all year. The main reason to love Texas here is the pitching matchup. The Angels are sending out rookie George Klassen, and to put it simply, he hasn't been able to find the strike zone. In just 8.2 big-league innings, he’s already handed out 14 walks and has an ERA sitting over 7.00. That’s a total nightmare scenario when facing a disciplined Rangers lineup that loves to work deep counts and capitalize on free passes. On the other side, Texas hands the ball to Cal Quantrill, who’s been rock solid with a 4-4 record and a 3.56 ERA. He’s coming off a sharp outing against the Giants where he threw six innings of one-run ball to grab the win. Quantrill should have no problem keeping this Angels lineup quiet while Texas gets to Klassen early and turns this into an offensive blowout. Take the Rangers moneyline here tonight against the Angels.
