Rotation #966
Yankees -125 over Rays
Cortes/McClanahan
The Rays have locked up the top seed in the AL and don’t have anything to play for while the Yankees have the Red Sox, Mariners and Blue Jays all on their heels as they try to lockup one of the two wild card spots down the stretch. This is a must win game for Yankees and I believe their power hitters will be ready to go much like they were last night. These next few games are going to be fun. Take the Yankees.

IOWA @ MARYLAND | 10/01 | 8:00 PM EDT
IOWA -170
ANALYSIS: Both teams have won all four of their games and each are 3-1 ATS. But Maryland is extremely fortunate to have won at Illinois and also fortunate that West Virginia turned the ball over. Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa has been efficient in leading the offense But I like Iowa’s defense to slow the Maryland offense down and I expect the Hawkeyes to win the turnover margin battle. Take Iowa on the money line. .
HOUSTON @ TULSA | 10/01 | 7:30 PM EDT
OVER 57
ANALYSIS: Houston has won its last three games while Tulsa has found an offensive groove which includes 663 yards against Arkansas State last week and 501 yards against Ohio State two weeks ago, covering both. Tulsa QB Davis Brin is throwing with authority and confidence the last two games (five touchdown passes). I have Houston rated higher but respect Tulsa's play lately. Over is the top play.

N.Y. METS @ ATLANTA | 10/01 | 7:20 PM EDT
N.Y. METS +103
ANALYSIS: The Braves clinched the division last night so they should be sitting a lot of their players today. Huascar Ynoa also hasn’t been great since returning from the IL going 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in September. Tylor Megill has struggled lately but he has pitched well against the Braves this season and he should be facing a watered down Braves lineup. The Mets haven’t been great at 11-16 in September, but this is a bet banking on the Braves starters sitting after winning the division.
TAMPA BAY @ N.Y. YANKEES | 10/01 | 7:05 PM EDT
N.Y. YANKEES -125
ANALYSIS: The Rays are in no way gonna lay down in this game, but they have to look ahead. They could be facing the Yankees in the ALDS if the Yankees win the Wild Card game, so they won’t want to show their hand in these games that don’t matter for them. That doesn’t mean they aren’t gonna try, but it does mean they might go with pitchers that might not make the ALDS roster or pitch relievers in different roles. The Yankees on the other hand are 2 games up on the Wild Card, and would clinch a playoff spot if they win and either the Red Sox or Mariners lose. Shane McClanahan has been good lately but he has struggled against the Yankees when he faced them, and the Yankees have been hitting lefties well lately. Nestor Cortes Jr. has a 2.38 ERA at home and he has allowed more than 3 ER in a start just once since being inserted into the starting rotation. Take the Yankees at home.
L.A. ANGELS @ SEATTLE | 10/01 | 10:10 PM EDT
SEATTLE -160
ANALYSIS: The Mariners have the longest postseason drought in sports, and now they have to win 3 games to break it. Honestly, I thought the pressure was gonna get to them last series, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it does this series either. This is still a very young team, but they have also won 11 of their last 13 games while the Angels are 4-10 in their last 14 games. Jose Suarez has been solid since being inserted into the starting rotation but he allowed 4 ER in 5 IP in his last start which was against the Mariners. Marco Gonzales is 4-0 with a 3.90 ERA in September and he allowed 1 ER in 7 IP against the Angels in his last start. It’s juicy, but this is one of the hottest teams in baseball right now, take the Mariners.
BOSTON @ WASHINGTON | 10/01 | 7:05 PM EDT
WASHINGTON +175
ANALYSIS: Of course we were on the Orioles the only game of the series against the Red Sox that they didn’t cover, but that’s just how it goes sometimes. However, the Red Sox are spiraling having not scored more than 3 runs in 5 of their last 6 games now. They face another lefty tonight in Josh Rogers after facing all the Orioles lefties that gave them fits. Josh Rogers has been solid for the Nats in five starts so far not allowing more than 3 runs in any of them. Eduardo Rodriguez has been decent lately but the Nats have the best wOBA in the league against lefties, and Rodriguez should get the hook at any sign of trouble. The Red Sox have been much worse on the road this season AND they lose the DH. My main worry is the Nats bullpen so Nats F5 would probably be the best play but I am taking the value in the Nats at home.
