Chicago vs. Los Angeles
Play: Under 7.5
Even with Jackson going for the Cubs here today - I have to make this release on the under - As there is a monster money making trend in effect here calling for a lower scoring affair here. The Trend is - today's home plate umpire Kerwin Danley has seen the under go an amazing 14-2 in his last 16 games calling balls and strikes. So let's follow this solid trend and release this highly recommended play on the under here today. Under is 5-1 in Cubs last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 5-1 in Jacksons last 6 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 11-3-1 in Dodgers last 15 home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. Under is 4-1 in Nolasco's last 5 starts with 4 days of rest.

Tampa Bay Rays -165
The Angels have strung together four consecutive victories after taking the first game of this series, but they are still only 5-17 in their last 22 versus winning clubs and 3-13 in the last 16 with the Rays. I don't have any faith in Richards. The Angels are 1-5 in his last 6 road starts and 0-4 in his last 4 starts versus winning clubs. The Rays, meanwhile, are 9-3 in Archer's last 12 starts and 4-1 in his last 5 starts as a favorite of -151 to -200. The Angels are 1-9 in their last 10 games as an underdog of +151 to +200. Bet the Rays.
