MLB | Sep 20, 2021 White Sox vs Tigers |
Tigers +205 at SC Consensus |
Won $205 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units Carlos Rodon has pitched just 4 times since the end of July and he hasn’t pitched more than 5 innings in any of those games. Matt Manning has pitched well lately and he is much better at home. The Tigers have won 7 of their last 10 games and they are 10-7 in September including 5-2 at home. This team is just 6 games below .500 right now and while most teams don’t have much to play for, you know this team wants that 82nd win. The White Sox are just 8-8 in September and 4-5 on the road. The White Sox have won just 5 of their last 10 games and if they weren’t in the AL Central, they would be getting knocked out of the playoffs right now. Take the value in the Tigers at home. |

MLB | Sep 20, 2021 White Sox vs Tigers |
UNDER 9 -120 |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units The wind is blowing essentially straight in at around 10 mph at Comerica Park, so that could turn a homer or two into a potential long out. White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodon is good enough to blank the Tigers for six innings (Sox probably won't let him go longer than that just to ensure health for the playoffs). Don't trust Detroit rookie Matt Manning all that much, but he generally has been quite a bit better at home. Chicago slugger Jose Abreu is also sitting. The Under is 8-3-1 in White Sox's last 12 overall and 5-1 in the Tigers' past six. |

MLB | Sep 20, 2021 Royals vs Indians |
Indians -154 at linepros |
Lost $154.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units First of a doubleheader so scheduled for seven innings. One of the best pitchers in the American League rather quietly for weeks has been Cleveland's Triston McKenzie. He had a 1.93 ERA in August and has followed that with a 1.50 number in September. And McKenzie has a 0.83 ERA in 21.2 innings this year vs. the Royals. KC's Brady Singer is 1-5 with a 5.05 ERA on the road. The Royals have dropped their past four as dogs. |

MLB | Sep 20, 2021 Blue Jays vs Rays |
Blue Jays -126 at linepros |
Lost $126.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units Cy Young favorite Robbie Ray is facing rookie prospect Shane Baz tonight in Tampa. The Rays have been hitting lefties well lately but they are just 8-10 this month while the Blue Jays are 15-3. In his last 7 starts, Ray is 3-0 with a 1.91 ERA and he just allowed 1 run in 7 IP against the Rays. He has faced the Rays 5 times this season and pitched a quality start in each one. Take the Blue Jays. |

MLB | Sep 20, 2021 Nationals vs Marlins |
Marlins -104 at pinnacle |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units The Marlins are 15-11 at home since the trade deadline while the Nats are 6-15 on the road. The Marlins have won 5 of the last 7 games between these two teams, and 4 of the 6 including winning two series against the Nats in the end of August. Jesus Luzardo has been solid lately despite his poor play against the Nationals and should give the Marlins a good start. Erick Fedde has pitched well against the Marlins this season but poor overall giving the Marlins good value at home here, take the value in the Marlins at home. |

MLB | Sep 20, 2021 Cardinals vs Brewers |
Cardinals +190 at William Hill |
Won $190 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units The Cardinals have now won 8 straight games and they are 13-5 on the road since the trade deadline. The Brewers are just 3-3 against the Cardinals at home this season. Freddy Peralta pitched well in his last outing, but he had been struggling before that including allowed 4 runs in 2 IP against the Cardinals earlier in September. Jake Woodford didn’t allow a run in 5.1 IP against the Brewers earlier in September and he has been solid since being inserted into the starting rotation. |

MLB | Sep 21, 2021 White Sox vs Tigers |
UNDER 9½ -111 |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units We hit the Under on Monday between these teams because the wind was blowing in at Comerica Park and it's blowing in even harder today so let's try it again even though neither starting pitcher -- Dallas Keuchel and Tyler Alexander -- is all that trustworthy. The total has dropped to 9 almost everywhere so we are getting a free half-run. |
