Cubs (Stroman) @ Padres (Weathers) 5:30 PM ET Game# 957-958 Play On: Cubs -102 (5*) San Diego left-hander Ryan Weathers has displayed poor form over his last 3 starts with a 6.32 ERA/1.66 WHIP. Weathers has made 3 career starts versus the Cubs with all coming since 2021 and he posted a terrible 7.24 ERA/1.76 WHIP. Weathers is also 0-6 in his team starts since 2021 when facing a team like the Cubs with a win percentage of .380 to .460. Weathers will be facing the Cubs today who are 10-6 versus lefty starters while averaging 5.9 runs per game and smashed 22 home runs while doing so. The Cubs Marcus Stroman has been in terrific form over his last 3 starts with a 1.17 ERA/0.57 WHIP and averaged a sizable 7.7 innings pitched per outing. Stroman is also 4-0 in his career team starts versus San Diego with a stellar 2.19 ERA. Give me the Chicago Cubs on the money line. |

Braves (Sroka) @ Diamondbacks (Gallen) 4:10 PM ET Game# 959-960 Play On: Diamondbacks -134 (5*) Atlanta is coming off yesterday’s win at Arizona. The Braves are 1-5 in their last 6 following a win. As a matter of fact, after a blistering hot 25-11 start to the season. However, they’ve gone just 9-13 in their last 22 games. Zac Gallen is a perfect 6-0 in his home team starts in 2023 with a dominating 0.66 ERA/0.73 WHIP while averaging a healthy 6.8 innings pitched per start. Yesterday’s loss to Atlanta snapped a 6-game Arizona win streak. The Diamondbacks are 8-1 in their last 9 at home versus National League teams. The Arizona bullpen has a shiny 2.11 ERA while striking out 25 batters and walking just 5 in their last 7 games. The Diamondbacks are also 14-7 in days games and 25-14 when facing right-handed starting pitchers. Give me the San Francisco Giants on the money line. |

Orioles (Wells) @ Giants (DeSclafani) 4:05 PM ET Game# 977-978 Play On: Giants +100 (5*) Tyler Wells has a 5.49 ERA in 4 road starts this seasoan and allowed an alarmingly high 8 home runs in 21 1/3 innings pitched. The Usually strong Orioles bullpen has struggled over their last 7 games with a staff 6.15 ERA/1.82 WHIP. Since 2021, the Orioles have gone an abysmal 10-48 when their bullpen recorded a 6.50 ERA or worse in their last 5 games.

Heat +8½ -110 at Mirage |

Heat @ Nuggets 8:00 PM ET Game# 515-516 Play On: Heat +8.5 (5*) The Heat barely missed covering in Game 1 despite attempting only 2 free throws and shooting a miserable 40.6% from the field. Miami amassed 96 field goal attempts in that opening game loss and that’s significant. The Heat are 11-1 SU this season after attempting 93 or more field goal attempts during regulation time in their previous game. That improves to 6-0 SU if they lost that previous game, and they outscored those 6 opponents by an average of 8.5 points per contest. Those SU results take on added betting value when considering Miami is currently an 8.5-point underdog in Game 2. Furthermore, Miami has gone 4-0 SU in their last 4 this postseason following a game in which they shot 45.7% or worse. As a matter of fact, they shot a red-hot 52.7% in those 4 wins. Miami was just 13-39 from 3-point territory in Game 1. Nevertheless, they finished that contest 7-15 from beyond the 3-point line after starting the contest 6-24. Give me the Miami Heat plus points. |
