The Pick: 20 DIME on the Blue Jays on the Run Line

The Line: The Blue Jays are +125 laying -1 1/2 Runs at 4:20 am pacific

Note: Kikuchi and Henry are both listed
Today's Analysis
Crazy supporting stat of the week: Toronto is 7-20 vs AL East foes. Against everyone else the Blue Jays are 45-21, including 18-7 in interleague action.
Toronto improved to 7-1 in its last eight games overall by taking the first two games of this series vs Arizona, 7-2 and 5-2, and today the Blue Jays go for the sweep against the slumping D-Backs, who have lose seven of nine and scored two or fewer runs six times in that stretch.
Yusei Kikuchi remains consistently inconsistent as he allowed nine runs in 9.1 innings in his last two starts after yielding a total of nine runs in his previous six outings.
This game, however, is all about Toronto's offense - averaging 5.4 runs during the team's 7-1 roll - taking care of business against 25-year-old left-hander Tommy Henry, whose 4.73 ERA in six road starts pales in comparison to his 3.00 mark in eight outings at Chase Field in Phoenix.

The Pick: 50 Dimes - Rays Run Line

The Line: The Rays are -130 laying -1 1/2 Runs at 7:30 am here on Sunday morning in Miami where I live.

Notes: Both starters - Eflin for Tampa and Singer for Kansas City - are listed.

My Analysis:

The Rays ended the 1st half of the season in a slump, but what better way to get their mojo back then visiting Kansas City.

Positive step in the right direction with a doubleheader sweep yesterday by scores of 6-1 and 4-2. No reason not to expect more of the same today with Zach Eflin on the mound as Tampa is 13-4 in his starts.

Kansas City is 2-7 in Brady Singer's last 9 starts and the 26-year-old right-hander's ERA in them is 4.59.

Singer's numbers on the season:

94.2 IP, 112 H, 35 BB, .294 opponent's batting average

Not good when you're facing a Tampa team that leads the A.L. in homers and is 2nd in scoring - especially with the wind forecasted to be blowing out at Kauffman Stadium today.

The Royals are 1-8 in their L/9 overall, and 13-33 at home this season.

The Pick: 100 Dime Texas Rangers

The Line: As of 8 am eastern, the line is -130

Stipulations: Bibee and Perez MUST GO.

Tonight's Analysis

The Texas Rangers proved Saturday they not only have the league's No. 1 batting average and can beat you with an offensive outburst, but they can do it with sound pitching. The Rangers handed the Cleveland Guardians their third straight defeat in a 2-0 win, the fourth time this season Texas won by scoring two runs or one.

Today I have the Rangers completing the sweep, as I see the bats coming to life against Cleveland rookie Tanner Bibee. I know this kid has been as efficient as any other starter in the rotation, but this is a tough chore.

First of all, he's got a 4.65 ERA in six starts on the road, where host lineups are hitting .282 off of him. He also has a 1.52 WHIP away from Cleveland. And the Rangers are a lineup that needed a fresh start after closing the first half of the season with losses in six of eight games.

Texas is off to the right start, winning 12-4 on Friday and 2-0 on Saturday.

Martin Perez (7-3, 4.81) is up for the Rangers, and while his history against the Guardians hasn't been all that savory, he also hasn't faced them in two seasons. He catches them at the right time, and has a good shot at dominating for Texas.

Play the home team here.

Side Pick: 50 Dime - Cubs Run Line

Line: The Cubs are +130 on the Run Line as I go live at 9:50 am eastern.

Note: Justin Steele and Kutter Crawford are auto-listed

FYI - Just a little insight that I discovered from my source at the Cali-Cartel regarding this pick. They like Justin Steele, who is not only 6-1 with a 2.23 ERA in 9 Wrigley Field starts, but also 5-1 with a 1.96 ERA in 10 daytime starts this season. They add that the Cubs have won all 4 of the left-hander's outings since he returned from the IL in mid-June. One of the reasons they don't like Boston is Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford's 4.75 ERA across his last 5 starts.
