Time: 7:05 p.m. ET

Stephen Strasburg has made 11 home starts and he is 6-1 with a 2.38 ERA at Nationals Park. Strasburg has a 2.21 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP in his last three starts. Washington hits 44 points lower and scores 0.60 less runs per game vs. RH. The Brewers have averaged just 3.54 runs in their last 10. Nationals relievers have a 2.61 ERA.



Play: Cleveland/Detroit under 8.5 -123 (Bauer vs. Sanchez)

Time: 7:08 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Anibal Sanchez has a 3.04 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP and a Trevor Bauer has a 2.33 ERA in his last three starts. In the last five games, Tigers relievers have a 0.90 ERA and Indians relievers have a 2.89 ERA. In the last 10 games, Detroit's bullpen has a 0.74 ERA while Cleveland has posted a 1.85 figure.






Play: Miami +1.5 -150 (Bumgarner vs. Eovaldi)

Time: 7:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Marlins would be 60-34 if they were given 1.5 runs per game. The Giants would be 39-56 if they gave 1.5 rpg. Miami scores about a half-run more per game vs. RH. Madison Bumgarner has a 6.87 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP in his last three starts. In four career games against the Marlins, he has a 5.09 ERA. Nathan Eovaldi has a 3.61 ERA and he allowed just one run on four hits over seven innings in his last outing. San Francisco has scored two runs or fewer in 12 of its last 20 games. Miami can hit. Giancarlo Stanton has 21 homers and 63 RBI, Casey McGehee is tied for the league lead in hits, Christian Yelich has a 10-game hitting streak and Marcell Ozuna has hit safely in 17 of 18 games. The Giants are hitting just .236 against RH (.226 on the road and .217 in their last contests) and are scoring 0.30 less rpg against them.
