MLB: Tuesday's play

Play: NL/AL over 7.5 +102

Time: 5:15 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Much is being made about the caliber of the starting pitchers on both squads, but those hurlers don't see stacked lineups like these at any other time. For example, the AL's 8th-place hitter is Josh Donaldson, and he has 20 homers. This is not a high total anyway, and, with DHs in the lineup, it makes it all the more enticing. And so does the ballpark. A common misconception is that Target Field is a Pitcher's Park. It's not. It has a Park Factor of 1.124, third-highest in baseball behind only Coors Field and Busch Stadium. Games at Target Field this season have averaged 8.68 runs. The weather report calls for clear skies and a temperature of 64 degrees.



Record: 141-107-6 (56.9%)
Bankroll: +74.51%
