Play on: UNDER 9 -113
We won with the under last night as the Reds and the Brewers combined for just four runs. I'm going back to the well with another under in the finale of this three-game series on Wednesday.
Brewers left-hander Gio Gonzalez (8-11, 4.44 ERA) owns a 2.99 ERA in 11 career starts against Cincinnati and under is 5-0 in Reds last five games vs. a left-handed starter.
Reds right-hander Matt Harvey (7-8, 4.67 ERA) has posted a 5.26 ERA in five career starts against the Brewers, but he's entering this contest red hot boasting a 2.50 ERA in three starts this month. Under is 4-0 in Brewers last four games vs. a right-handed starter.
Under is 7-1 in Brewers' last eight overall. Under is 6-0-1 in Reds' last seven overall. Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings at Miller Park.
Free pick on UNDER.

Jack Brayman
My free play is off the early card, as I like the Detroit Tigers over the Minnesota Twins, and I want you listing only Spencer Turnbull in this game.
The right-hander will be making his first career Major League start tonight, after throwing a perfect inning Friday against the division-leading Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. Turnbull also collected his first strikeout in his big league debut.
One inning won't be enough for the Twins to scout, and they should be caught off guard by this guy's repertoire. It's been his lively arsenal and a knack for missing bats that have made him an attractive big league option.
Turnbull throws a two-seam fastball that tops out around 94 miles per hour and compliments it with a slider and a changeup. His command has improved, and his mechanics are impeccable.
Most of all, he is an intense competitor who gives a very high-effort look, and I like him to get the dub today.
1* TIGERS (Turnbull)

After pushing the total of 8 runs last night, look for the White Sox and the Indians to find their way Over the total tonight with Dylan Covey and Carlos Carrasco doing the mound work.
This Over is really more about Covey's inconsistent work this season, as he comes into this start off a start that saw him allow 6 hits and 6 runs - 5 of them earned, in just over 4 innings tossed in his first start back in the rotation after working out of the bullpen since the end of August. His season ERA is 5.64, while his ERA over his last 3 is well over 9. He has made 4 starts this season versus the Indians and stands at 1-2 with an ERA well over 6. Expect him to get roped again tonight.
Carlos Carrasco has only allowed 5 runs (4 of them earned) to score over his last 15 innings pitched, but he does show a 3.80 ERA for his last 3 starts, so the Pale Hose do have a shot tonight at putting a few runs on the scoreboard.
Chicago is 2-1-1 Over in their last 4 games, while Cleveland is 2-0-2 Over in their last 4 games contested.
Let's play the ChiSox-Tribe to head Over the total on Wednesday night.
2* WHITE SOX-CLEVELAND OVER

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Cincinnati Reds +156
There are some injury concerns for the Brewers right now that have struck at the wrong time. Both Lorenzo Cain and Travis Shaw were pulled from the game last night and are unlikely to suit up tonight. They lost that game 3-1 and got nothing from their offense. I think the Reds can beat them again here at a big price. Matt Harvey has really gotten it together here of late. He has allowed 3 earned runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts, and 2 or less in five of those. Gio Gonzalez has been hittable all season. He is 8-11 with a 4.44 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 29 starts. Gonzalez gave up 6 runs and 12 base runners in 3 2/3 innings in his last start against the Reds on August 4th. Gonzalez is 7-12 (-14.7 units) as a home favorite of -150 or more over the last two seasons. Give me the Reds.

10* FREE MLB PICK (Reds +156)
I'll take my chances here with Cincinnati as a decently priced underdog against the Brewers on Wednesday. Milwaukee has gone ice-cold at the plate of late. They scored just 1 run on 3 hits in yesterday's 3-1 loss to the Reds and have scored 2 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 4. Cincinnati will have Matt Harvey on the mound and he's in great form right now. Harvey has a 2.50 ERA and 1.056 WHIP over his last 3 starts. On the flip side of this, the Brewers will give the rock to Gio Gonzalez, who is coming off an ugly start at home against the Pirates, where he lasted just 4 2/3 innings. Gonzalez has a mere 5.28 ERA and 1.304 WHIP (8 walks) over his last 3 starts. The Last 23 times that Gonzalez has taken the mounds as a favorite of -150 or more his team has went on to win just 8 times. Give me the Reds +156!

Play on: Diamondbacks -105 at MyBookie
1* Free Pick on Arizona Diamondbacks -105
The Diamondbacks will secure a win at home and avoid the sweep by the Cubs. Chicago has built back up their lead in the NL Central to 3.5-games over the Brewers and are coming off back-to-back dominant wins over Arizona. They won 5-1 on Monday and 9-1 on Tuesday.
This might seem like the time to jump on board with the Cubs, but it's put them in a very unprofitable spot. Chicago is a mere 1-8 this season after allowing 1 or fewer runs in back-to-back games.
Arizona also has a guy on the mound that can keep this Cubs offense in check. Robbie Ray has a 2.95 ERA over his last 10 starts, including a 2.04 ERA and 0.849 WHIP in his last 3 outings. He's also faced Chicago once this season and was sensational, allowing just 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings.
Adding to all of this is a great system in play on the Diamondbacks. National League home teams that are giving up 4 runs/game or less on the season are 35-7 (83%) against the money line when coming off back-to-back losses by 4 or more runs. Take Arizona

MLB | Angels vs A's
Play on: A's -135 at BetPhoenix
My free play is on the Oak A's at 10:05 ET. The A's blew a three-run lead on Tuesday and lost 9-7. The defeat dropped them five games back of division-leading Houston in the AL West and 2 1/2 back of the NY Yankees for the first wild-card spot. Oakland, which has dropped four of its last five, continues its three-game series with the LA Angels tonight and on Thursday, before completing its final homestand of the season with three games against the Minnesota Twins Friday through Sunday. LA's win was the fourth-place Angels' eighth in 14 meetings with the A's in 2018, as LA extended its road winning streak to five in a row.
Felix Pena (3-4, 3.75 ERA) takes the mound for the Angels, coming in on a nice September run. He is 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA this month, with a 12-1 KW ratio in 20 innings over three starts (Angels are 2-1). In fact, after scattering six hits over six scoreless inning of an 8-1 win over Texas last Wednesday, Pena has worked at least six innings in each of his last six starts. He has faced the A's just twice in his career, once as a starter, with a 0-0 record and 5.40 ERA (Angels did win his lone start).
Lefty Brett Anderson (3-5, 4.35 ERA) will get the ball for Oakland. Anderson comes in off back-to-back losing starts in which he surrendered nine ERs on 14 hits over six innings. However, he had pitched extremely well in his previous four outings, allowing just two ERs on 12 hits with two walks and 14 strikeouts over 26 2/3 innings for an 0.68 ERA. That said, he earned just one win in that span (Oakland was 2-2). Anderson is 1-3 with a 3.75 ERA in 11 career appearances (eight starts) against the Angels, including a no-decision on August 10 in which he gave up two runs on four hits over five innings (A's lost 4-3).
The Angels can further endanger Oakland's chances of making the playoffs tonight with a win but I'll back the A's in this one. Oakland owns MLB's second-best moneyline mark (plus-$3416), while the Angels sit minus-$785 on the season. The A's are an impressive 46-30 at home in 2018, while the Angels check in 38-38 on the road, after winning five straight away from home. Take the A's.
