MLB: Thursday's 7:10 p.m. ET plays

Play: Cincinnati +102 (Leake vs. Miller)

Time: 7:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Atlanta has allowed 13 runs in each of its last two contests. Now it will face Mike Leake, who has a better WHIP than Shelby Miller. Leake has gone at least seven innings in each of his last three starts. He also owns Freddie Freeman (career 1-for-13). The Reds are hitting better and are scoring more runs vs. RH. Jay Bruce homered twice in Cincinnati's last series, and Braves relievers have a 9.60 ERA in their last five games.


Play: Washington +101 (Strasburg vs. deGrom)

Time: 7:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Nationals have owned New York over the last several years. Washington is 46-17 overall in the last 63 meetings. It is 36-15 in the last 51 at Citi Field and is 4-1 in Stephen Strasburg's last five starts there. Strasburg is 3-2 with a 2.55 ERA in seven career starts vs. the Mets. The Nats scored 13 runs in each of their last two games (at Atlanta). Here they will see Jacob deGrom, who allowed six runs over five innings in his last turn. Washington CF Denard Span is 7-for-12 with two homers, four RBIs and six runs over his last two games. New York is 3-3 in its last six.
