D unit Cleveland Indians (-163) over Texas Rangers (Plesac/Latz) 4 unit up to (-180) –
It's been a strange run with Covid for everyone, and the Rangers are struggling even more then others recently, with multiple players out due to the illness. This has resulted in Latz starting tomorrow in his first career MLB start, this year in the minors, he has had an ERA of 4.98, with 15 games in AA and 2 games in AAA, and in the 2 AAA starts he has posted a 7.00 ERA vs. AAA opponents. The Indians on the other hand are coming off a rough game on Tuesday, but after leading 0 innings they are 9-0 as a HF in the L9, and in the L17 as a F (with the line < -112) off a game where they never lead, they are 16-1! Plus, the Indians have Plesac on the mound, and while he has posted a 4.87 ERA TY, he is 7-4, including a 6-1 run with a 4.54 ERA in 13 starts since May 1st, and the Indians are 5-0 in his L5 starts vs. a RHP. Cleveland has been a difficult team to play at home, in the L5 games as a HF off a L as a HF they are 5-0, they are 11-0 @ H off a L when the line is under -105, and vs a NDIV opponent as a HF vs. RHP they are 9-1. CLE has also won 25 out of the L30 games as a HF, including 18-2 vs. RHP, and 16-0 when the line is between -230 and -120!!
Game: (911) Los Angeles Dodgers at (912) San Diego Padres

Play Rating: E units
Play: Los Angeles Dodgers -135 W Buehler (RHP), B Snell (LHP) Must Start
E unit LA Dodgers (-135) over San Diego Padres (Buehler/Snell) –
Buehler is holding his own at one of the top pitchers in a rotation full off accolades. He’s got a 13-2 record this year, in the last 15 starts he is 10-2 with a 1.74 ERA. He’s faced SD twice this year and has left with a ND each time, but allowing 4 runs in 13 innings, on the road this year Buehler has been impressive, to say the least, he is 5-0 in 10 starts with a 2.07 ERA, and in his 7 starts since the All-Star break he is 4-1 with a 1.50 ERA. LA is 17-8 in his starts this year, including 8-2 in the L10 on the road, 5-1 his L6 starts vs. a LHP, 9-1 in his L10 starts vs. a SP w/ an ERA > 4.00 (in those games they are outscoring opponents 7.64 - 2.82) and they are 11-1 in his L12 vs. an ERA over 3.5. Regardless of the pitching, the Dodgers are 7-1 in their L8 on the road, 13-2 in the L15 overall, and there may be one or more reasons why this team is happy to see Snell on the mound. LAD is 12-3 in their L15 vs. a LHP w/ an ERA over 4 (including 6-1 in the L7 on the road), they are 7-1 in the L8 vs. a SP w/ a WHIP > 1.50 (including 7-0 when the line is < -110), and this isn’t the first time they have seen Snell, but the Dodgers are 7-2 when the line is under -125, on the road vs. a SP who beat them last time out (including 5-1, and 4 in a row vs. a LHP who beat them). Snell has been solid at home, BUT since the All-Star break, Snell hasn’t seem to have the same second half, he is 3-2 but in 7 games his ERA is at 4.50, and the Padres are 2-4 in his L6 as a dog (including 0-4 vs. RHP), and they are 1-5 in the L6 Snell starts vs. a pitcher w/ an ERA under 3 when the line is > -180, not to mention 2-5 in the L7 vs. a divisional opponent when the line is > -180. The Padres have also struggled against good RHP, they are 4-11 vs. a RHP w/ an ERA < 2.5, when the line is between 160 & -180. SD is 2-9 vs. RHP w/ a WHIP < 1 when the line is > -115 (including losing 8 out of the L9). This is also only the 7th time SD has been a HD and they are 2-4, including 1-3 vs. RHP, they are 0-8 in the L8 as a dog vs. RHP.
