New York Mets (-) vs. Baltimore Orioles
The Mets and Orioles would be in the postseason if they started today but a lot could change between now and the end of next month. The Mets currently hold a decent lead over the Nationals in the NL East while the Orioles just passed the Angels for the second spot in the AL Wild Card race. The Orioles will send Kevin Gausman to the hill knowing he has dropped his last two outings in games against the Angels and the Mariners. Gausman has a record of 2-4 SU with an ERA of 4.48 on the season. For the Mets they will send Jacob deGrom to the bump with his 11-6 SU record an ERA of 2.03 on the year. deGrom has been picking up wins on a consistent basis of late with the Mets going 6-0 SU in his last six trips to the bump. We note the Mets coming off a game as a home favorite have posted a record of 55-27 SU for 67.1 percent winners and a profit of +2660 Units. If the Mets lost that game as a home favorite they 20-9 SU for 69 percent winners and a profit of +1098 Units. A check of our powerful database reveals a league-wide system that tells us to Play ON MLB teams when their starter struck out at least nine batters in his last outing and threw for seven or fewer innings. Well deGrom struck out ten over seven scoreless innings of work at home versus the Rockies. When we play ON these MLB teams they are 1235-985 SU for 55.6 percent winners and a profit of +3452 Units. With significant support on the bump and with the sticks we will back the visiting Mets on Tuesday night.

Yankees/Twins Over 9
CC Sabathia can’t get it right on or off the field this year. This guy is quickly fading and it probably won’t be long before he hangs it up. The Twins have been hitting left handed pitching well this year so I do expect them to get their runs tonight. The Yankees hit the ball well at home and I expect fireworks tonight in New York.

White Sox / Angels Under 7.5
At the bottom of this analysis an UNDEFEATED season long totals angle making this a high percentage wager in what already is a solid pitching matchup. While Garrett Richards has given the Angels 4 different “quality” starts in the most recent six trips to the mound John Danks just rewarded the White Sox with his second-longest outing of the campaign (7.1 innings with just one earned run allowed). Chicago slugger Jose Abreu is just a .194 career hitter against Los Angeles pitching while Angels superstar Mike Trout has ZERO homers in the past 10 games (second longest streak of the season) hitting just .194 along the way. On the season after a game where the offense had 4-or-less hits the Angels are a staggering 8-0 UNDER/HOME
