2 Unit Play. Take #908 Los Angeles (-1.5 RL) -150 over Colorado (10:10p.m., Monday, April 14 MLB.tv) We have faded the Rockies all weekend and went 3-0. We will continue to fade them, as they have one of the worst offenses in the league. Antonio Senzatela’s luck finally ran out last week against Milwaukee and his 2.14 WHIP is just not conducive to not giving up a ton of runs.
Craig Trapp
7-Unit Play. Take #917 Detroit Tigers (-165, moneyline) Over Milwaukee (8:10 p.m., Monday, April 14)
Have had this one circled for few days now, love the ace Skubal tonight as we expect him to continue to dominate. Brewers are allowing over 5 runs game and think those struggles continue. Starting pitching edge is key in easy win on Monday, Take Tigers to win on the moneyline tonight.
3-Unit Play. Take #908 LA Dodgers (-1.5) Over Colorado (10:10 p.m., Monday, April 14)
The third start for Dustin Maye will be even stronger than the great 2-0 start to year. Even better he has not just won but covered the run line in both starts. Just as important Dodgers coming off back to back losses so don’t worry about LAD looking past bad Rockies team. Take the Dodgers to cover the run line -1.5 on Monday night.

2-Unit Play. Take #903 San Francisco (+105) over Philadelphia (6:45 p.m., Monday, April 14)
This San Fran team is legit. They are 11-4 and they are offering awesome value here as an underdog against an overrated Phillies group. The Giants just won another series, taking out the Yankees in New York, and Philly is coming off a 2-4 road trip where they only scored 15 runs. I’ll play the value.
1-Unit Play. Take #906 San Diego (-140) over Chicago Cubs (9:40 p.m., Monday, April 14)
1-Unit Play. Take #910 N.Y. Yankees (-1.5, +140) over Kansas City (7 p.m., Monday, April 14)
I am not high on Kansas City at all this year. They have lost two of three and three of five despite getting to face off against fellow A.L. Central dregs. This is a step up in class and I just don’t think that the Royals have enough offense to play with the Yankees. They are averaging just 3.3 runs per game and they are hitting .219 as a team.
2-Unit Play. Take #912 Tampa Bay (-125) over Boston (7 p.m., Monday, April 14)
1-Unit Play. Take #912 Tampa Bay (-1.5, +155) over Boston (7 p.m., Monday, April 14)
I have no problem betting against Tanner Houck. He was very good last year. But even then he still finished just 9-10 despite his 3.12 ERA. And he’s given up eight runs in 16 innings so far this season, so he’s not off to a great start. Shane Baz has been, striking out 16 to just four walks in two very sharp outings. I think he stays hot here.
Carpe diem. Good luck.
Arun Shiva (Indian Cowboy)
4-Unit Play. #905. Take Under 7.5 Runs Chicago Cubs vs. San Diego Padres (Monday @ 9:40pm est)
Note, we have a 7* Prop Selection today and we have a 7*NHL Selection today and we are on an insane 20-6 run in the NHL including a 7-1 and 11-2 run for nearly +5000. Per this game, the Cubs took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers, big wins there for them and now they face the Padres who are 13-3 who sweep the Rockies and who took 6 of 7 of late as well. You have Taillon here who went 6 innings, 4 hits and 2 runs against the Athletics, he lost but did have 7 strikekouts and then you have Dylan Cease who rolls in here who went 4 innings, 9 hits and 9 runs and he is on a massive bounce-back as well. This is a big boy game as we like to call it. A playoff type of game where both pitchers have to come through and given their bounce-back, we expect them to come through.

3-Unit Play: #920 STL CARDINALS -110 OVER Houston Astros *7:45pm EST
Why the oddsmakers are showing no love to the STL Cardinals, we don't get. This is a home game and the line opened in Houston's favor. Both teams are a game under .500 at 7-8. The Cards send Sonny Gray and his 2-0 record to the hill, while the Astros counter with 1-1 Framber Valdez. We like this play better than 4-Units, but we're just settling in.

4-Unit Play - #909 Kansas City +120 over New York (Monday, April 14, 2025, 7:05pm ET)
Take Kansas City on the moneyline as my top MLB pick for Monday night. This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and I really like this pitching matchup for Kansas City here tonight. Carrasco has struggled this season with opponents hitting .333 against him with an on base percentage of .365 and slugging percentage of .688. Carrasco has an ERA of 7.71 giving up 16 hits and 10 earned runs over just 11.2 innings. New York has hit just .220 as a team lifetime against Lugo with an on base percentage of .281. Kansas City has hit .273 as a team lifetime against Carrasco. We are getting tremendous value with Kansas City here tonight. Play Kansas City moneyline

3-Unit Play: Take 902 Pirates -1.5, EV (Run Line) over Nats (6:40 p.m., Monday, April 14)
I’m laying the run line with the Pirates. Pittsburgh just got swept at Cincinnati but they’re 3-3 at home including winning two of three when hosting the Cardinals last time at PNC Park. Washington is 1-5 on the road with a minus-12 run differential. Brad Lord has five IP under his belt, allowing nine base runners in four outings. His bullpen has the highest ERA in MLB, while Paul Skenes will look to get back on track at home. He has a .179 BAA & 0.82 WHIP in three starts and should take care of this Nats’ lineup. I’m backing the Pirates on the run line. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
1-Unit Play: Take 906 Padres -160 over Cubs (9:40 p.m., Monday, April 14)
I’m backing the Padres on Monday. Chicago heads south after taking two of three in Los Angeles this weekend. They’re playing well but the Padres are fantastic right now, including a 10-0 home mark with a plus-41 run differential. Dylan Cease got knocked around in the minor league bandbox in Sacramento but he was fine in his other two starts in major league parks (14 Ks in 10.2 IP). The righty hasn’t allowed a single run in his last three starts against the Cubs. Jameson Taillon has a .273 BAA and hefty, .845 OPS against in three outings, well above league average. SDG is rocking righties right now. I expect the Padres to handle the Cubs. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
3-Unit Play: Take 917 Tigers -1.5, +115 (Run Line) over Brewers (7:40 p.m., Monday, April 14)
I’m laying the run line with the Tigers. Tarik Skubal slammed the door on the Yankees last time out after looking a bit shaky in his first two outings. It’s nothing unusual for a previous season’s Cy Young winner to lose in his first outing the next year. I’m not concerned about the southpaw. Milwaukee is off to a slow start against lefties, especially at home and I don’t trust Ty Alexander or the Brewers’ third-worst bullpen ERA. I’m backing the Tigers on the run line. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
August Young
4-Unit Play - [906] San Diego Padres -150 over Chicago Cubs (04/14 | 9:40PM EST) We're 8-2 this season betting totals for +2,320. We've been obliterated by sides. Some due to bad choices, but others down to rotten luck. However, we have solid value here on the Padres and we're clearly a glutton for punishment. Dylan Cease has a 7.98 ERA but his xERA is down at 3.66. He also ranks in the upper percentile of the league when it comes to Fastball Velocity, Average Exit Velocity, and K%. We also have to acknowledge that it's early in the season and his numbers are inflated after his awful showing last time out vs. the Athletics. Prior to that he had allowed just four earned runs spanning 10.2 innings pitched. We're expecting a solid bounce-back here, especially vs. an over-performing Cubs team. There is also some very solid historic data that loves fading teams on a Monday that just played Sunday Night Baseball.
Strike Point Sports
7-Unit Play. Take #904 Philadelphia (-115) over San Francisco (6:45 p.m., Monday, April 14)
The Phillies had to be excited to return back to Philadelphia and sleep in their own beds as the end of their road trip did not go well. The Phillies were shut out in in two of their last three games against the Cardinals, but I expect then to turn things around playing at home where they have gone 5-1 to start the season. Tajuan Walker will be on the mound for Philadelphia and he has yet to allow a run over his first two starts (10.2 IP) this year, and I think he can be just as effective in this contest as long as he avoids too many walks. Landen Roupp has made the transition to full time starter for San Francisco this season as he was a reliever for most of last year. He struggled against the Astros on the road in the first start of his season allowing 3 earned runs over 4 innings and I think he may struggle against the patient and potent lineup of the Phillies. I think the Phils’ get back on track and pick up the win in this matchup.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

Monday April 14th 2025-
7 Unit Play Take #912 Tampa Bay -125 over Boston (7:05pm est):
Tampa Bay starter Shane Baz is the exact kind of guy I like to back early in the MLB season. Baz is in his 2nd year back from a 2023 season where he was out the entire year dealing with Tommy John surgery. Usually guys like this make a big jump in year two after dealing with this injury and I think we're seeing that happen here with Tampa Bay Shane Baz. The 25 year-old right-hander has been electric to start this season striking out more than 30% of the hitters he's faced thus far and posting a K%-BB% ranked in the top 10% of the league. This hasn't been a fluke either as his velocity is up and his pitches also have more movement and overall look to be more crisp.
Play Tampa Bay to win this game.
3 Unit Play Take #904 Philadelphia -115 over San Francisco (6:45pm est):
There was lots of talk about the work Philadelphia starter Taijuan Walker put in this winter after his ugly 2024 campaign. Nothing went right last year for the veteran but he's back this year, bulked up, added some much needed velocity and hasn't allowed an earned run in his first two outings in 2025.
Play Philadelphia to win this game. Big 7u NHL selection on tap for Monday night. Like this one a lot to kick off the new week.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

6 Unit Play - Take #912 Tampa Bay (-130) Over Boston Red Sox. (7:05p.m, Monday, April 14th)
Tampa Bay comes into this game 7-8 on the year and 4th in the East. Boston just lost 2 of 3 games to the White Sox in their most recent series, and this team is struggling to barrel up the baseball. Shane Baz gets the start for Tampa Bay tonight. Baz is a lifetime 2-0 against the Red Sox, with 13 innings of work, 13 strikeouts, 5 hits allowed, 2 runs, and a stout 2.77 ERA. Tanner Houck gets the start for Boston. Houck is already having a tough season, going 0-1, 16.1 innings of work, and a 4.41 ERA. Tanner is a lifetime 1-4 against the Rays, with 32.1 innings of work, 33 allowed hits, and a brutal 4.18 lifetime ERA. I expect Tampa Bay to come out blasting offensively, and I expect Baz to sustain his dominance against Boston, especially at home tonight in Tampa Bay.
Take #912 Tampa Bay (-130) Over Boston Red Sox.
Griffin Murphy
3 Unit Play - Take #915 New York Mets (+100) Over Minnesota. (7:40p.m, Monday, April 14th)
New York comes into this game 10-5 on the year and 1st in the NL East. Minnesota is a falling knife right now with a record of 5-11 on the year, 3-7 in their last 10 games, and finally picking up a win last night over Detroit in a 5-1 finish. Joe Ryan gets the start for Minnesota, and this is their most lethal pitcher. Joe is 1-1 on the year, with 17 innings of work with a 2.65 ERA. New York is a nighttime team, and I will say this over and over again. New York went 57-37 during night games last season and 254 as a team. In the day games, New York went 32-36 and hit 236 as a team. This is a very strong trend, and New York is playing no-joke baseball right now, going 8-2 in their last 10 games, 5-4 on the road, and coming off another series win over the Athletics last night.
Take #915 New York Mets (+100) Over Minnesota.
Griffin Murphy
1 Unit Play - Take #901 Washington (1st 5 innings, +190) Over Pittsburgh. (6:40p.m, Monday, April 14th)
Washington comes into this game 6-9 on the year, 5-5 in their last 10 games, and presently on a two-game losing streak. We are aware Paul Skenes gets the start for Pittsburgh with a 1-1 record, 18.1 innings of work, 20 strikeouts, and a strong 3.44 ERA. Washington is 12th in batting average, 12th in on-base percentage, 10th in slugging percentage, 7th in home runs, and 7th in stolen bases. This team attacks early runs, and Pittsburgh is 29th in baseball when it comes to offensive runs scored per game. I believe Washington has the speed and power to break through early and snag a couple of runs across the plate in the 1st 5 innings of this ball game. This is a tremendous value, giving us nearly double our risk. The value and edge are there, and we must attack it.
Take #901 Washington (1st 5 innings, +190) Over Pittsburgh.

3 Unit Play: #914 Toronto Blue Jays ML (+100) over Atlanta Braves (7:07p.m, Monday, April 14th)
We have the Atlanta Braves headed to Toronto to take on the Blue Jays in this series. The Braves just finished up their weekend series against the Rays, where they went 1-2. Same for the Blue Jays, as they finished the series 1-2 on the road against the Orioles. Now for the Braves, they will have Grant Holmes back on the mound. He’s 0-1 with nine innings pitched and an ERA sitting at 4 with 11 strikeouts. The Blue Jays will toss out Easton Lucas with a 2-0 record this season. Lucas has 10 innings pitched with a zero ERA. But the story with the Braves this year is winning on the road to start. They’re 1-9 this season, right now on the road. Going up against a pitcher that hasn’t allowed a run yet in ten innings pitched. While the Blue Jays at home this year are 5-2 on the season. They play a lot better here at home. I think they come out tonight against a team that is struggling to find ways to win at home. Take the Toronto Blue Jays on the moneyline over the Atlanta Braves.
#914 Toronto Blue Jays ML (+100) over Atlanta Braves
Nick Menken
2 Unit Play: #920 STL Cardinals ML (+100) over HOU Astros (7:45p.m, Monday, April 14th)
We have the Houston Astros headed to St. Louis to face the Cardinals. Both teams come into this series just 2-1 after taking the weekend series. The Astros played the Angels, while the Cardinals played the Phillies on the road. Now the two will have their aces on the mound. The Astros will have Framber Valdez on the mound here tonight. He has been 1-1 this season with 18 innings pitched, an ERA of 2.5, and 21 strikeouts so far. While the Cardinals will have Sonny Gray taking the mound. Sonny Gray has a 2-0 record after 16 innings of work, boasting an ERA of 4.50 and 19 strikeouts. This offense for the St. Louis Cardinals has produced runs all year long. They are currently ranked 3rd in MLB in runs per game. Their team batting average is sitting at .280 as a team. Which is 2nd best right now in the league. I am confident that the Cardinals will defeat the Astros tonight at a discounted price. It is worth the risk with Sonny on the mound. Houston has been inconsistent with runners on. I like my odds with these Cardinals here tonight. Take the St. Louis Cardinals moneyline over the Houston Astros.

2 Unit Play: #917 Detroit Tigers (1st 5 inning -0.5 Run) (-115) over MIL Brewers (7:40p.m, Monday, April 14th)
Our next matchup will be the Detroit Tigers vs. the Milwaukee Brewers here tonight. Both teams are coming into this game off losses in their last game. The Brewers are on a two-game losing streak, just dropping to the Diamondbacks 5-2 on Sunday. While the Tigers dropped one to the Rangers 5-1 before heading to Milwaukee. Now, for the Tigers, their ace will be on the mound, Tarik Skubal. This season he is 1-2 with 16.2 innings pitched. An ERA sitting at 3.78 on the season with 16 strikeouts recorded. Tyler Anderson will start for Milwaukee with a 1-0 record over 12.2 innings pitched. An ERA sitting at 2.84 on 12 strikeouts. Both of these offenses come in the top 10 right now in run production here. But in my lens, Tarik is trying to get off to a hot start. Ever since his first two outings, he has been on a mission. Last outing was great at home. He’s on the road. But I like these Tigers to jump out early like they've been doing all year with their aces on the mound. Take the Tiger -0.5 in the first 5 innings over the Brewers.

2 Unit Play. Take #908 Los Angeles (-1.5 RL) -150 over Colorado (10:10p.m., Monday, April 14 MLB.tv) We have faded the Rockies all weekend and went 3-0. We will continue to fade them, as they have one of the worst offenses in the league. Antonio Senzatela’s luck finally ran out last week against Milwaukee and his 2.14 WHIP is just not conducive to not giving up a ton of runs.Craig Trapp

3-Unit Play. Take #908 LA Dodgers (-1.5) Over Colorado (10:10 p.m., Monday, April 14)
The third start for Dustin Maye will be even stronger than the great 2-0 start to year. Even better he has not just won but covered the run line in both starts. Just as important Dodgers coming off back to back losses so don’t worry about LAD looking past bad Rockies team. Take the Dodgers to cover the run line -1.5 on Monday night.

2-Unit Play. Take #903 San Francisco (+105) over Philadelphia (6:45 p.m., Monday, April 14)This San Fran team is legit. They are 11-4 and they are offering awesome value here as an underdog against an overrated Phillies group. The Giants just won another series, taking out the Yankees in New York, and Philly is coming off a 2-4 road trip where they only scored 15 runs. I’ll play the value.

I am not high on Kansas City at all this year. They have lost two of three and three of five despite getting to face off against fellow A.L. Central dregs.

I have no problem betting against Tanner Houck. He was very good last year. But even then he still finished just 9-10 despite his 3.12 ERA. And he’s given up eight runs in 16 innings so far this season, so he’s not off to a great start. Shane Baz has been, striking out 16 to just four walks in two very sharp outings. I think he stays hot here.
Carpe diem. Good luck.

Per this game, the Cubs took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers, big wins there for them and now they face the Padres who are 13-3 who sweep the Rockies and who took 6 of 7 of late as well.

This is a big boy game as we like to call it. A playoff type of game where both pitchers have to come through and given their bounce-back, we expect them to come through.

His bullpen has the highest ERA in MLB, while Paul Skenes will look to get back on track at home. He has a .179 BAA & 0.82 WHIP in three starts and should take care of this Nats’ lineup. I’m backing the Pirates on the run line. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
1-Unit Play: Take 906 Padres -160 over Cubs (9:40 p.m., Monday, April 14)
I’m backing the Padres on Monday. Chicago heads south after taking two of three in Los Angeles this weekend. They’re playing well but the Padres are fantastic right now, including a 10-0 home mark with a plus-41 run differential. Dylan Cease got knocked around in the minor league bandbox in Sacramento but he was fine in his other two starts in major league parks (14 Ks in 10.2 IP). The righty hasn’t allowed a single run in his last three starts against the Cubs. Jameson Taillon has a .273 BAA and hefty, .845 OPS against in three outings, well above league average. SDG is rocking righties right now. I expect the Padres to handle the Cubs. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
3-Unit Play: Take 917 Tigers -1.5, +115 (Run Line) over Brewers (7:40 p.m., Monday, April 14)
I’m laying the run line with the Tigers. Tarik Skubal slammed the door on the Yankees last time out after looking a bit shaky in his first two outings. It’s nothing unusual for a previous season’s Cy Young winner to lose in his first outing the next year. I’m not concerned about the southpaw. Milwaukee is off to a slow start against lefties, especially at home and I don’t trust Ty Alexander or the Brewers’ third-worst bullpen ERA. I’m backing the Tigers on the run line. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

4-Unit Play - [906] San Diego Padres -150 over Chicago Cubs (04/14 | 9:40PM EST) We're 8-2 this season betting totals for +2,320. We've been obliterated by sides. Some due to bad choices, but others down to rotten luck. However, we have solid value here on the Padres and we're clearly a glutton for punishment. Dylan Cease has a 7.98 ERA but his xERA is down at 3.66. He also ranks in the upper percentile of the league when it comes to Fastball Velocity, Average Exit Velocity, and K%. We also have to acknowledge that it's early in the season and his numbers are inflated after his awful showing last time out vs. the Athletics. Prior to that he had allowed just four earned runs spanning 10.2 innings pitched. We're expecting a solid bounce-back here, especially vs. an over-performing Cubs team. There is also some very solid historic data that loves fading teams on a Monday that just played Sunday Night Baseball.Strike Point Sports
7-Unit Play. Take #904 Philadelphia (-115) over San Francisco (6:45 p.m., Monday, April 14)The Phillies had to be excited to return back to Philadelphia and sleep in their own beds as the end of their road trip did not go well. The Phillies were shut out in in two of their last three games against the Cardinals, but I expect then to turn things around playing at home where they have gone 5-1 to start the season. Tajuan Walker will be on the mound for Philadelphia and he has yet to allow a run over his first two starts (10.2 IP) this year, and I think he can be just as effective in this contest as long as he avoids too many walks. Landen Roupp has made the transition to full time starter for San Francisco this season as he was a reliever for most of last year. He struggled against the Astros on the road in the first start of his season allowing 3 earned runs over 4 innings and I think he may struggle against the patient and potent lineup of the Phillies. I think the Phils’ get back on track and pick up the win in this matchup.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports

Monday April 14th 2025-7 Unit Play Take #912 Tampa Bay -125 over Boston (7:05pm est):
Tampa Bay starter Shane Baz is the exact kind of guy I like to back early in the MLB season. Baz is in his 2nd year back from a 2023 season where he was out the entire year dealing with Tommy John surgery. Usually guys like this make a big jump in year two after dealing with this injury and I think we're seeing that happen here with Tampa Bay Shane Baz. The 25 year-old right-hander has been electric to start this season striking out more than 30% of the hitters he's faced thus far and posting a K%-BB% ranked in the top 10% of the league. This hasn't been a fluke either as his velocity is up and his pitches also have more movement and overall look to be more crisp.
Play Tampa Bay to win this game.
3 Unit Play Take #904 Philadelphia -115 over San Francisco (6:45pm est):
There was lots of talk about the work Philadelphia starter Taijuan Walker put in this winter after his ugly 2024 campaign. Nothing went right last year for the veteran but he's back this year, bulked up, added some much needed velocity and hasn't allowed an earned run in his first two outings in 2025.
Play Philadelphia to win this game. Big 7u NHL selection on tap for Monday night. Like this one a lot to kick off the new week.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe

6 Unit Play - Take #912 Tampa Bay (-130) Over Boston Red Sox. (7:05p.m, Monday, April 14th)Tampa Bay comes into this game 7-8 on the year and 4th in the East. Boston just lost 2 of 3 games to the White Sox in their most recent series, and this team is struggling to barrel up the baseball. Shane Baz gets the start for Tampa Bay tonight. Baz is a lifetime 2-0 against the Red Sox, with 13 innings of work, 13 strikeouts, 5 hits allowed, 2 runs, and a stout 2.77 ERA. Tanner Houck gets the start for Boston. Houck is already having a tough season, going 0-1, 16.1 innings of work, and a 4.41 ERA. Tanner is a lifetime 1-4 against the Rays, with 32.1 innings of work, 33 allowed hits, and a brutal 4.18 lifetime ERA. I expect Tampa Bay to come out blasting offensively, and I expect Baz to sustain his dominance against Boston, especially at home tonight in Tampa Bay.
Take #912 Tampa Bay (-130) Over Boston Red Sox.

3 Unit Play - Take #915 New York Mets (+100) Over Minnesota. (7:40p.m, Monday, April 14th)
New York comes into this game 10-5 on the year and 1st in the NL East. Minnesota is a falling knife right now with a record of 5-11 on the year, 3-7 in their last 10 games, and finally picking up a win last night over Detroit in a 5-1 finish. Joe Ryan gets the start for Minnesota, and this is their most lethal pitcher. Joe is 1-1 on the year, with 17 innings of work with a 2.65 ERA. New York is a nighttime team, and I will say this over and over again. New York went 57-37 during night games last season and 254 as a team. In the day games, New York went 32-36 and hit 236 as a team. This is a very strong trend, and New York is playing no-joke baseball right now, going 8-2 in their last 10 games, 5-4 on the road, and coming off another series win over the Athletics last night.
Take #915 New York Mets (+100) Over Minnesota.

1 Unit Play - Take #901 Washington (1st 5 innings, +190) Over Pittsburgh. (6:40p.m, Monday, April 14th)
Washington comes into this game 6-9 on the year, 5-5 in their last 10 games, and presently on a two-game losing streak. We are aware Paul Skenes gets the start for Pittsburgh with a 1-1 record, 18.1 innings of work, 20 strikeouts, and a strong 3.44 ERA. Washington is 12th in batting average, 12th in on-base percentage, 10th in slugging percentage, 7th in home runs, and 7th in stolen bases. This team attacks early runs, and Pittsburgh is 29th in baseball when it comes to offensive runs scored per game. I believe Washington has the speed and power to break through early and snag a couple of runs across the plate in the 1st 5 innings of this ball game. This is a tremendous value, giving us nearly double our risk. The value and edge are there, and we must attack it.
Take #901 Washington (1st 5 innings, +190) Over Pittsburgh.

3 Unit Play: #914 Toronto Blue Jays ML (+100) over Atlanta Braves (7:07p.m, Monday, April 14th)We have the Atlanta Braves headed to Toronto to take on the Blue Jays in this series. The Braves just finished up their weekend series against the Rays, where they went 1-2. Same for the Blue Jays, as they finished the series 1-2 on the road against the Orioles. Now for the Braves, they will have Grant Holmes back on the mound. He’s 0-1 with nine innings pitched and an ERA sitting at 4 with 11 strikeouts. The Blue Jays will toss out Easton Lucas with a 2-0 record this season. Lucas has 10 innings pitched with a zero ERA. But the story with the Braves this year is winning on the road to start. They’re 1-9 this season, right now on the road. Going up against a pitcher that hasn’t allowed a run yet in ten innings pitched. While the Blue Jays at home this year are 5-2 on the season. They play a lot better here at home. I think they come out tonight against a team that is struggling to find ways to win at home. Take the Toronto Blue Jays on the moneyline over the Atlanta Braves.
#914 Toronto Blue Jays ML (+100) over Atlanta Braves

2 Unit Play: #920 STL Cardinals ML (+100) over HOU Astros (7:45p.m, Monday, April 14th)
We have the Houston Astros headed to St. Louis to face the Cardinals. Both teams come into this series just 2-1 after taking the weekend series. The Astros played the Angels, while the Cardinals played the Phillies on the road. Now the two will have their aces on the mound. The Astros will have Framber Valdez on the mound here tonight. He has been 1-1 this season with 18 innings pitched, an ERA of 2.5, and 21 strikeouts so far. While the Cardinals will have Sonny Gray taking the mound. Sonny Gray has a 2-0 record after 16 innings of work, boasting an ERA of 4.50 and 19 strikeouts. This offense for the St. Louis Cardinals has produced runs all year long. They are currently ranked 3rd in MLB in runs per game. Their team batting average is sitting at .280 as a team. Which is 2nd best right now in the league. I am confident that the Cardinals will defeat the Astros tonight at a discounted price. It is worth the risk with Sonny on the mound. Houston has been inconsistent with runners on. I like my odds with these Cardinals here tonight. Take the St. Louis Cardinals moneyline over the Houston Astros.
#920 STL Cardinals ML (+100) over HOU Astros

2 Unit Play: #917 Detroit Tigers (1st 5 inning -0.5 Run) (-115) over MIL Brewers (7:40p.m, Monday, April 14th)
Our next matchup will be the Detroit Tigers vs. the Milwaukee Brewers here tonight. Both teams are coming into this game off losses in their last game. The Brewers are on a two-game losing streak, just dropping to the Diamondbacks 5-2 on Sunday. While the Tigers dropped one to the Rangers 5-1 before heading to Milwaukee. Now, for the Tigers, their ace will be on the mound, Tarik Skubal. This season he is 1-2 with 16.2 innings pitched. An ERA sitting at 3.78 on the season with 16 strikeouts recorded. Tyler Anderson will start for Milwaukee with a 1-0 record over 12.2 innings pitched. An ERA sitting at 2.84 on 12 strikeouts. Both of these offenses come in the top 10 right now in run production here. But in my lens, Tarik is trying to get off to a hot start. Ever since his first two outings, he has been on a mission. Last outing was great at home. He’s on the road. But I like these Tigers to jump out early like they've been doing all year with their aces on the mound. Take the Tiger -0.5 in the first 5 innings over the Brewers.
