Matt Fargo Sports Handicapper Review & Free Picks

Toronto took the opener of this series last night to snap a four-game losing streak where the pitching was atrocious. The pitchers allowed an average of 8.5 rpg over that four-game stretch but the Blue Jays go a decent effort from Marco Estrada, who allowed three runs over 5.1 innings, but it was the bullpen that did its job. That was a bit of a surprise as their 4.50 ERA is eighth worse in all of baseball. Toronto is still 13 games under .500 for the season and while the offense put up five runs, going back, the Blue Jays are 12-30 in their last 42 games after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. Baltimore still possesses the worst record in baseball as its winning percentage is under .300 but the Orioles have a good matchup tonight to get back into the win column. Dylan Bundy gets the ball for Baltimore and he has shown flashes of what he can do but the schedule has not been in his favor. He is coming off a pair of bad starts as he allowed seven runs each time out, but those games were against the Yankees and Red Sox. Toronto got to him in his last game against the Blue Jays but in four previous starts against them, he posted a 1.38 ERA. Sam Gaviglio takes the hill for Toronto and he has been ok this season, but it has been a struggle overall. He has pitched well at home with a 2.70 ERA in eight starts but has just one win to show for it. He is going on four days of rest, but Toronto has lost his last six starts when pitching on four days of rest and he does not go deep into games as it is, and it has lost his last five starts overall.

This is a play on the MINNESOTA LYNX for our WNBA Tuesday Enforcer. This has a weird look to it as Minnesota and Los Angeles have been the two best teams in the WNBA over the last couple years as they have met in the WNBA Finals the last two seasons and now they are meeting in the first round in a play-in game where it is win or go home. Los Angeles got the home game as it finished a game better than Minnesota as these teams have been pretty equal then and now. However, this line is telling us something different as there is significant value on the Lynx. Over the 2016 and 2017 regular seasons and playoffs, the Lynx and Sparks met 16 times, with each winning eight games. This season, Los Angeles took three of four meetings but one of those was by just one point, so it was nearly a wash again. Los Angeles has regresses on both sides of the ball as it averaged 78.9 ppg compared to 83.5 ppg and 83.0 ppg over the last two seasons. Additionally, the Sparks allowed 77.0 ppg comparted to 75.2 ppg in 2017 and 75.9 ppg in 2016. Both teams average the same amount of points on offense and while the 77 ppg allowed by the Sparks leads the WNBA, Minnesota allows 78.3 ppg which is second best in the league. Minnesota does not want to go out like this, especially with Lindsay Whalen retiring after the season and getting her back home at some point. A win Tuesday would send the Lynx cross-country to either Washington or Connecticut for another single-elimination game Thursday. A win there and the Lynx would begin their best-of-five league semifinals on the road Sunday. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are allowing 44 percent shooting or worse on the season going up against an opponent after three straight games allowing 45 percent shooting or higher over their last three games. This situation is 30-8 ATS (78.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (307) Minnesota Lynx

This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. Chicago won last night in Minnesota to make it five wins in its last six games and now the teams head to Chicago for the next two games. The White Sox have struggled both at home and on the road so the fact they are home underdogs tonight should come as no surprise with the pitching matchup and what the public sees. The offense has been hot as Chicago has averaged 7.4 rpg over this stretch and has a chance to keep it going here. The Twins have been playing well this month but most of the success has taken place at home where they have gone 19-6 over their last 25 games but they are just 2-8 over their last 10 road games. And it has not just been against good teams as going back, the Twins are 1-7 in their last eight road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Jose Berrios gets the attention here as he is an All Star, but he has struggled since a good start to the season. He had a 3.15 ERA through his first 16 starts but he has posted a 4.30 ERA over his last 10 games. He prefers pitching at home as opposed to on the road and this has been the case his whole career as he has a 3.75 ERA in 31 home games but that jumps to a 5.27 ERA in 34 road games and going back, the Twins are 4-18 in his last 22 road starts. White Sox fans will get their first look at Michael Kopech who is making his Major League debut. He was traded over from Boston in the Chris Sale deal and he is the top pitching prospect on the team while being the overall No. 9 prospect in baseball as of last month. He posted a 3.70 ERA in 24 starts this season at Triple-A Charlotte with 170 strikeouts in 126. innings and has been outstanding over his past seven starts, going 4-0 with a 1.84 ERA over that stretch. 10* (920) Chicago White Sox

This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. Colorado heads back home following a solid roadtrip where it went 5-1 including a four-game sweep in Atlanta where the pitching was outstanding. The Rockies trail Arizona in the National League West by just a half-game and can finally take a breath after a brutal portion of the schedule. The series with the Braves also ended the Rockies National League-record tying stretch of 46 consecutive games against teams with a winning record and they were a fantastic 30-16 over that stretch. Colorado cannot take San Diego lightly however especially with a series against St. Louis on deck and going back, the Rockies are 20-7 in their last 27 home games after starting off 11-20 at Coors Field. It has been an expectedly tough season for the Padres as their offense has been nonexistent while their pitching has been inconsistent. Robbie Erlin has been on of the consistent ones albeit most of coming out of the bullpen. He was added to the rotation at the start of the month and has been solid with a 2.81 ERA in three starts but heading to Colorado is not a good thing as the Rockies are hitting .301 against lefties at home and have won 12 of their last 14 games against left-handed starters. Tyler Anderson has been exceptional at home and dreadful on the road over the last two months. He has a 12.56 ERA in three road starts but in five home starts, he has a 1.35 ERA. He has a 2.27 ERA in six career starts against San Diego and here, we play on National League favorites with a money line of -150 or more with a starting pitcher whose ERA is between 4.20 and 4.70 but with an ERA of 7.50 or worse over his last three starts. This situation is 53-10 (81.4 percent) since 1997. 7* (910) Colorado Rockies

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. If there is any chance for Washington to make a push in the National League East, it starts tonight in what is the start of a crucial four-week stretch. This is the first of nine games against the Phillies with three games against the Braves in there as well and these three to start the week are the only ones of those 12 that are at home. The National lost two of three games against Miami to open this homestand, certainly not ideal for a playoff push. The Nationals are 10-4 in their last 14 home games against teams with a losing road record. Philadelphia lost its games on Saturday and Sunday as well and finished with a disappointing 3-4 homestand but it still possesses a solid 41-22 record at home. The road is a different story however as the Phillies are just 27-34 and going back they are 44-72 in their last 116 games as underdogs of +150 or less. Vincent Velazquez gets the ball for Philadelphia and he is coming off a pair of poor outings which is worrisome at this point in the season. He has pitched better on the road than at home, but the Phillies are 0-5 in his last five road starts. Washington counters with Tanner Roark who has turned things back around after a rough stretch before the All Star Break. Since then, he has put together five straight quality starts, good for a 1.77 ERA. The Nationals are 5-1 in his last six starts after allowing five runs or more in their previous game. Here, we play on National League home favorites with a slugging percentage of .400 or worse and with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is between 1.25 to 1.35 going up against a team with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is between 1.25 to 1.35. This situation is 35-10 (77.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (904) Washington Nationals
