Play on: Cubs +205 at SC Consensus

1* Free Sharp Play on Cubs +205
The Cubs (+205) are worth a look as a massive road dog against the Reds in Monday's MLB action. Yes the Cubs have lost 11 straight and aren't going to be getting a whole lot better any time soon, but the price here is just too good to pass up. Chicago will have Justin Steele on the mound, who pitched effectively in his first big league start, giving up just 3 runs in 5 innings against the Brewers. If he can pitch anything close to that, the Cubs have a decent chance here to end their losing streak. Play the Cubs +205!

MLB | Braves vs Marlins
Play on: Braves -145 at William Hill

Monday MLB Free play. My selection is on Atlanta over Miami at 7:10 pm et on Monday.
The Marlins just swept the Cubs at home. I suspect they'll find the going a little tougher as they welcome the Braves to Miami on Monday night, however.
Atlanta was written off by most when Ronald Acuna went down with a season-ending injury. Instead of folding the tent, the Braves have quietly played their best baseball of the season and now find themselves sitting atop the N.L. East Division standings. They just swept the Nationals in a three-game series in Washington and haven't lost consecutive games since mid-July, speaking to their incredible consistency. With that being said, they can't afford to let their foot off the gas here as they have a number of teams breathing down their neck in the N.L. playoff race.
Touki Toussaint will take the ball for Atlanta on Monday. He's sandwiched four solid outings around one bad one at home against the Brewers. In two road starts he's posted a 2.19 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. He won't be asked to do too much here and is supported by a Braves bullpen that has converted 15 saves and blown only six on the road this season.
Braxton Garrett will counter for Miami. While he has recorded a solid 2.25 ERA in three home starts this season, his 1.38 WHIP is a bit concerning. Garrett has essentially had one dominant outing in six trips to the hill this season. His other five starts have been underwhelming as he's worked five innings or less in all five of those. Across all starts he's recorded a disappointing 1.75 WHIP.
The Marlins bullpen entered yesterday's action sporting a collective 6.11 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with just one save converted and one blown over their last seven contests. Take Atlanta.

Dave's Monday Free Play:
1* on A's/White Sox OVER 9
The Key: The Chicago White Sox have one of the best lineups in the American League especially with Eloy Jimenez as their DH now. The Oakland A's come in as hot at the plate as they have been all season. The A's have scored 4 runs or more in 10 straight games now. Dallas Keuchel is the worst starter the White Sox have and he is going tonight. Keuchel is 7-6 with a 4.48 ERA in 22 starts this year. He is 1-4 with a 5.55 ERA in his last 6 starts against the A's, yielding 22 earned runs in 35 2/3 innings. Frankie Montas is 9-8 with a 3.98 ERA in 23 starts for the A's. The OVER is 6-1-1 in White Sox last 8 home games against a right-handed starter. Take the OVER.

Play on: Twins -123 at SC Consensus

1* MLB - Indians/Twins FREE PICK on Twins -123
Monday's Free MLB Pick is on the Minnesota Twins as a -123 home favorite against the Cleveland Indians. Twins are hot right now. They have won 4 of 5 and are 7-3 in their last 10 games. Griffin Jax will make the start for Minnesota and he's got a 2.76 ERA and 0.857 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Cal Quantrill will go for Cleveland and he's got a 4.99 ERA in 5 road starts. He also gave up 6 runs in 4 1/3 innings in his only other start against the Twins this season. Bet Minnesota -123

MLB | Astros vs Royals
Play on: Royals +142 at Caesars

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Kansas City Royals +142
The Kansas City Royals are worth a shot today as home underdogs to the Houston Astros. Carlos Hernandez has been a pleasant surprise for the Royals, going 2-1 with a 2.96 ERA in five starts this season. He is 2-0 with a 1.02 ERA in his last three starts against the Yankees and White Sox (twice), so it's not like he is doing it against soft competition. Jake Odorizzi is the weak link in Houston's rotation that you want to look to go against. He is 5-6 with a 4.87 ERA in 15 starts this season and 4-3 with a 5.11 ERA in eight road starts. Odorizzi is 3-6 with a 5.37 ERA in 13 previous starts against Kansas City as well. Give me the Royals.

Play on: Padres -123 at linepros

Jack's Free Pick Monday: San Diego Padres -123
We are finally getting the San Diego Padres at a good value after losing four of their last five games coming in. But their best player in Fernando Tatis Jr. returned from the IL yesterday and hit two homers to lead them to an 8-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Now the Padres should be able to handle the Rockies in Game 1 of this series with Tatis Jr. back on board. Colorado is just 1-5 in its last six games overall and struggling to score runs right now. The Rockies have managed just 11 runs total in those six games for an average of 1.8 runs per game.
Ryan Weathers has been roughed up of late at home, but he has been at his best on the road, posting a 2.28 ERA and 1.183 WHIP in six road starts this season. He'll be opposed by Antonio Senzatela, who is 2-9 with a 4.71 ERA and 1.428 WHIP in 19 starts this season. Senzatela is 0-2 with a 7.20 ERA in his last two starts against the Padres as well.
The Rockies are 29-63 in their last 92 games vs. a team with a winning record. Colorado is 1-6 in its last seven games as an underdog. Bet the Padres Monday.

MLB | Padres vs Rockies
Play on: Rockies +118 at BetVegas

FREE PICK - Colorado Rockies +118
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 956
I'll take my chances with the Rockies as a home dog against the Padres. Colorado is a different team at home than on the road. They are 38-21 at Coors Field, compared to 14-45 away from home.
The other big thing in this matchup is who San Diego will have on the mound. Padres are set to send out Ryan Weathers, who has been a complete mess here of late. In his last 3 starts, Weathers has given up 20 runs on 22 hits (6 HRs) in 19 1/3 innings. He's also got an ugly 6.51 ERA and 1.448 WHIP in 6 starts against other NL West teams this season. Coors Field is just not the place you want to be pitching when you are in a bad stretch like this. Give me the Rockies +118!
Brandon Lee can't wait to exploit the books on the diamond Monday.
