All - Please note, the reason I post the website next to the odds is that is the best number I have found with the books that I use. Shop around at your state’s books for the best of the number.

LA Dodgers (31-20) @ Tampa Bay Rays (37-15)

Rays Moneyline (-115 PointsBet)

Over 9 (-115 MGM)

This is expected to be a bullpen game from the Rays. Noah Syndergaard takes the mound for LA (1-3) 5.88. He has been less than stellar and looks like the money is trusting the bats of the Rays. 70% of the handle and bets are on the Rays moneyline, even though this is a pretty even moneyline straddle. Bets should be more 50/50 if that were the case. Pros also look to be on the over 9 with 82% of the handle but only 60% of bets. 9 is juiced all the way up to -122 at some books, and a 9.5 is now out there. Grab the 9 -115 while you can, if you like this, because it looks like it may be gone soon.

San Diego Padres (23-27) @ New York Yankees (30-22)

Yankees Moneyline (+102 Fanduel)

The Yankees are receiving 81% of the money and 69% of bets as home underdogs. Money is jumping in on the Yanks. The Yankees plan to bring up Randy Vasquez to make his MLB debut to face off vs Joe Musgrove (1-2) 6.75 ERA. The Padres just have not gotten it together this year and are just 4-6 in their last 10. Meanwhile, the Yankees seem to be trending in the right direction at 7-3 in their last 10. Money is supporting the play and why not at a dog price.

Philadelphia Phillies (23-27) @ Atlanta Braves (31-19)

Over 10

13 runs were scored in yesterday’s game 1 of the series. Two guys with elevated ERAs take the hill, Taijuan Walker (3-2) 5.79 ERA vs Jared Shuster (1-2) 5.49 ERA. Shuster is a lefty and the Phillies are 4th in the league in home runs this year vs lefties. The Braves are 61.2% to the over in all games and 69.2% to the over in home games. 77% of the money and 59 % of bets are to the over. 10s are juiced to -120 at some books and BetMGM has already gone to 10.5.
