After being away for the weekend to address some personal things, it’s time to get right back at it tonight with a smaller MLB board. It was a solid 3-1 night on Friday with my four selections across two sports (MLB, CFL) and I’m looking to keep that momentum rolling into this week.

Cincinnati ML (+192) $200 to win $384

Cincinnati took three of four from the Marlins over the weekend as the Reds don’t appear to be giving up on this season quite yet. They are still without most of their big names, but the offense started to produce against the Marlins. Cincy’s bats are in tough against Cleveland ace Corey Kluber tonight, but the young Indians pitcher is in a tough spot tonight and is overpriced.

Kluber out-dueled King Felix in his last start en route to a complete game shutout win (2-0). You know here at D Rock Sports we love to go against these pitchers in their next start and tonight isn’t any different. All I’ve seen today during my research is how badly the Reds have struggled here in Cleveland the past few years, but that all changes tonight with the Reds cashing as a big dog.

Texas ML (+123) $200 to win $246

The White Sox are another AL Central team I don’t believe should be favored too often unless Chris Sale is on the hill. It’s Hector Noesi tonight and with the Sox bullpen taxed after a long series with the Twins this weekend, Chicago backers better hope for 7+ innings from Noesi tonight to have a chance.

There is no hiding the disappointment in the Rangers this year, but they are still capable of winning games when they are counted out. They suffered a tough extra innings loss yesterday to get swept by Cleveland, but their loss in Game 1 of that series was their first in five straight series openers and I like the value I’m getting on them to bounce back tonight.

LAA ML (+113) $300 to win $339

The Angels and Dodgers are starting a four-game, home-and-home series tonight in what could be a preview of the World Series. Both have two very strong pitchers taking the hill tonight with Richards vs. Greinke and because of that I’ve got tonight’s game as a toss up. That means their is plenty of value with the Angels at +110 or higher and with LAA being 8-3 SU in Richards’ last 11 starts overall and sporting a 11-4 SU mark in their last 15 interleague games, the Angels are the play.
