Robbie Ray has been dominant since being recalled from the minors. But he's no world-beater. Opponents hit .350 against him in nine appearances last season when he was with Detroit.

Play: Detroit +107 (Verlander vs. Warren)
Time: 7:05 p.m. ET

Play: Washington +102 (Archer vs. Fister)

He won his third in four starts on Friday when he allowed two runs over six innings against Atlanta. Edwin Encarnacion is 4-for-16 and Jose Bautista is 2-for-11 lifetime vs. Colon. R.A. Dickey is winless in his last four after allowing four runs in six innings Saturday against Boston. Dickey has a 5.29 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. The Blue Jays are hitting 52 points lower and are scoring 1.15 fewer rpg vs. RH. New York's bullpen has a 3.07 ERA and Toronto's relievers have a 3.38 ERA.

Reasoning: The teams combined for 195 points in Game 5 despite the Cavaliers shooting less than 40 percent from the field and the Warriors hitting just 58.8% from the line. Golden State games average 207.6 points overall and 206.9 points on the road. Cleveland contests average 200.3 points overall and 199.5 points at home. Both teams are well above average from behind the arc. I expect David Blatt to change up his gameplan a little bit in this one and get Timofey Mozgov more minutes. The 7-footer played less than 10 minutes on Sunday and attempted just one shot after scored 28 points in Game 4. I also don't think J.R. Smith will go scoreless in the final 33 minutes like he did on Sunday. LeBron James (36.6 ppg in the series) and Stephen Curry (26.2 ppg) are doing their part. And Tristan Thompson has recorded double-doubles in three straight.

Red Sox relievers have a 1.12 ERA in their last five and a 2.88 mark at home. Joe Kelly has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts.

NBA: Thursday's plays
Play: Golden State -2.5 -107 and Golden State/Cleveland over 193 -102
Time: 9 p.m. ET
TV: ABC
Reasoning: Warriors games average 207.9 points overall and 207.4 points on the road. Cavaliers contests average 201.5 points overall and 199.9 points at home. Only two of the 100 Golden State totals this season have been this low and just nine of Cleveland's 99 totals have been this low. Both teams are above average shooting in all three categories. But the Warriors also are better than the Cavs in all three shooting categories. Additionally, Golden State has the deeper bench and has sizable advantages in steals and blocks. The Warriors have outscored opponents by 9.5 ppg overall and 5.8 ppg on the road. LeBron James has been spectacular, but can he really keep averaging 41 points, 12 rebounds and 8.3 assists in this series? After Tuesday's triumph Matthew Dellavedova (severe dehydration) was taken via ambulance to a hospital where he spent the night getting IV treatments. Cleveland already is without point guard Kyrie Irving (knee), and Iman Shumpert needed an MRI Wednesday for his shoulder. Golden State got a nice contribution in Game 3 from David Lee (11 points in 13 minutes). I like Stephen Curry (17 points on Tuesday) and Klay Thompson (14 points on Tuesday) to bounce back. The same goes for Harrison Barnes, who went scoreless after going 0-for-8 from the field in Game 3.

Play: Philadelphia/Cincinnati under 8.5 +105 (Williams vs. Moscot)
Time: 12:35 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Reds games average 8.53 runs. Phillies games average 7.82 runs. Cincinnati is hitting .238 and is scoring 1.03 less rpg vs. RH. It hasn't seen Jerome Williams since 2006. Philadelphia is hitting .227 and is scoring 3.17 rpg vs. RH. Reds starter Jon Moscot allowed four runs in his Major League debut on Friday, but that was early on in the game and he rebounded by retiring 11 of the final 12 batters he faced. Moscot allowed two or fewer runs in seven of his nine starts at Triple-A Louisville before being called up. Brandon Phillips left Tuesday's game with a strained left groin and is not expected to play today. Chase Utley is 0-for-16 in his last five games. And Philadelphia's bullpen has a 2.27 ERA in its last 10 contests and a 2.00 ERA in its last five.

MLB: Tuesday's plays
Play: Seattle/Cleveland over 7 +100 (Elias vs. Kluber)
Time: 7:10 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Games at Progressive Field average 9.89 runs. Mariners road contests average 8.44 runs. Seattle relievers have a 4.54 ERA away from home. And the over is 12-4-1 in the last 17 meetings at Cleveland. The Indians are hitting .281 in their last 10 games vs. LH. They tagged Roenis Elias for four runs on five hits and four walks over 5.1 IP two starts back. Elias is now 0-2 with a 7.15 ERA in two career outings against the Tribe. And Corey Kluber allowed four runs on nine hits in losing his last start.
Play: Atlanta +1.5 -145 (Shields vs. Foltynewicz)
Time: 7:10 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Braves would be 37-20 if they were given 1.5 runs per game. San Diego would be 23-36 if it gave 1.5 rpg. The Padres are hitting 13 points lower and are scoring a half-run less per game vs. RH. Atlanta is hitting 25 points higher and is scoring 1.76 more rpg vs. RH. James Shields has had a good season, but much of his 7-0 record can be attributed to the 6.0 rpg his team has provided during those starts. Shields has allowed a National League-high 15 homers. Mike Foltynewicz has a 3.15 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP in his last three starts. And San Diego has never faced him.

Reasoning: Both teams hit better against southpaws. The Orioles are scoring 4.80 rpg vs. LH overall and are batting .346 against them in their last five. The Astros are hitting .302 against LH in their last five and .315 against them in their last 10. Wei-Lin Chen has a 4.74 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP in his last three starts. On May 25 he allowed Houston three runs on 11 hits over five innings. His ERA is nearly a run higher in night contests. Dallas Keuchel pitched against Baltimore on May 25 and he absorbed his lone loss of 2015 when he was charged with a season-high four runs and two homers. Keuchel also has fared better in day games. The O's bullpen has a 4.97 ERA in its last five. Games for both teams average 8.38 and 8.09 runs, respectively.

Time: 7:05 p.m. ET
Reasoning: I took Philadelphia with a run and a hook on Tuesday, but I like the Reds to exact some revenge here. Prior to the Phillies' comeback win in Game 1, they had dropped seven straight. I also think Mike Leake can get right against a Philadelphia team that is hitting 42 points lower and is scoring 3.07 rpg against RH. The Phils are hitting .195 in their last five vs. RH and are scoring 1.83 rpg in their last five overall. Cincinnati is hitting 19 points higher and is scoring 1.30 more rpg vs. LH. In their last five contests facing southpaws the Reds are hitting .343 and are scoring 8.64 rpg. Cincinnati relievers have a 1.76 ERA in their last five and have a 2.35 ERA in their last 10.

MLB: Tuesday's play
Play: Philadelphia +1.5 -120 (Cueto vs. O'Sullivan)
Time: 7:05 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Johnny Cueto (elbow) hasn't pitched since May 19 and he went 1-2 with a 4.45 ERA last month. He has a 7.23 ERA in four starts lifetime against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. As a team the Reds are 0-7-1 in their last eight series at Philadelphia. Sean O'Sullivan has started one game against Cincinnati (in 2013) and he allowed one run in six innings in that one. The Reds are 9-16 on the road and the Phillies are 12-13 at home. Cincinnati would be 14-35 if it gave 1.5 runs per game. Philadelphia would be 27-25 if it was given 1.5 rpg. The Reds are hitting 20 points lower and are scoring 1.37 less rpg vs. RH. Also, Cincinnati's bullpen is atrocious (4.42 ERA).
Record: 374-285-13 (56.8%)
Bankroll: +300.94%
Time: 7:05 p.m. ET
