CLEVELAND -161
CLEVELAND @ DETROIT | 6/16 | 1:10 PM EDT
The Indians' Trevor Bauer is coming off his best start in awhile, giving up only one earned run in 7.2 innings against the Reds. He faces a Tigers lineup that is second to last in the majors in runs scored. My simulations have Cleveland winning more than 70 percent of the time, so this is a great value. Go with the Indians.

PITTSBURGH @ MIAMI | 6/16 | 1:10 PM EDT
Pirates starter Chris Archer is 3-6 with a 5.73 ERA and just gave up seven earned runs on eight hits in 6.0 innings against the Braves. Meanwhile Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara (3-6, 3.67) has allowed just two earned runs in his last three starts combined. I have Miami winning well over 60 percent of simulations, so getting plus money on the Marlins is tremendous value. Take Miami.

CHI. CUBS @ L.A. DODGERS | 6/16 | 7:05 PM EDT
The Cubs pulled out a rare road victory on Saturday to defeat the Dodgers. Chicago will play its seventh straight road game on Sunday night as the Cubs conclude their series against the Dodgers. In order for the Cubs to get the win they’ll need reverse fortune for Sunday’s starter Jose Quintana. After starting off the season at 4-1, Quintana has gone winless in his last eight starts. However, there is value with the Cubs ending their road trip and Hyun-Jin Ryu coming off a no-decision against the Angels. Grab the Cubs as steep underdogs Sunday night.

SAN FRANCISCO +130
MILWAUKEE @ SAN FRANCISCO | 6/16 | 4:05 PM EDT
The San Francisco Giants are looking for a rare series sweep on Sunday as they take on the Milwaukee Brewers. Two concerns are at the forefront for the Giants. Can they continue to score runs, and will the bullpen be able to hold for a fifth straight game? It’ll be just as tight as Saturday’s victory over the Brewers, but look for the bats to continue to stay hot. Brewers pitcher Chase Anderson has allowed five home runs over his last three starts, and the Brewers bullpen is over extended. Grab the Giants.

BALTIMORE +145
BOSTON @ BALTIMORE | 6/16 | 1:05 PM EDT
Brian Johnson isn’t exactly a quality starter for the Red Sox, let alone in the majors. In four games this season, Johnson comes in win a 12.71 ERA. It’s hard to support the 21-49 Orioles, but as an underwhelming underdog at home with a pitching mismatch going to Baltimore, we have no choice. Home underdog it is.

PITTSBURGH -127
PITTSBURGH @ MIAMI | 6/16 | 1:10 PM EDT
This line is something that Pirates backers have to capitalize on ASAP. Chris Archer not only enters this contest with a 0.64 ERA at Marlins Park, but also with a team that matches up well against the Marlins. Despite winning only once in their past nine games, the Pirates are a much better team, even on the road. Archer should dominate here. His team has won his last thee starts against the Marlins. On Sunday that becomes four.

Cleveland's Trevor Bauer is pitching far better than his record indicates. On the road, he sports a 2.42 ERA and during the day his ERA is 2.45. Lay it as the Indians finish off the sweep.

BOSTON @ BALTIMORE | 6/16 | 1:05 PM EDT
The Orioles are horrific but John Means is pitching well. He shut down the Red Sox on May 6, allowing one run on three hits over seven innings. He fanned four and walked none. Grab the value on Baltimore as Boston's Brian Johnson makes his first start since coming off the injured list.

SAN DIEGO @ COLORADO | 6/16 | 3:10 PM EDT
The Rockies have won eight of the past 10 meetings and Peter Lambert's first two MLB starts have gone really well. He's 2-0 with a 1.53 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP. Back Colorado.

MLB - Colorado Rockies -147
There have been 65 runs scored through the first three games of the series, including 50 over the past two nights at Coors Field. While both teams are plenty capable of keeping the hit parade coming, the host Rockies look like a solid favorite today. Rookie Peter Lambert has been excellent thus far, while Padres lefty Nick Margevicius has had issues with consistency and squares off against a lineup that has done serious damage against both San Diego southpaws they've seen in the series. Ride Colorado.

This is a spot the Reds are in that is on a 20-6 run avoiding a sweep for the home team in such a series. We also like the Reds and the Under...because...well...it is a day that ends in Y and a game that starts early....backing the Reds here as well but like the Under a bit more as Gray will do his part...but will the offense step up after 2 straight weak efforts....as has been custom

Certainly not in love with backing Chris Archer and certainly wary of Sandy showing out as he can occasionally perform. However...the Miami hangover I think likelyhit tthem hard after their 11-0 slam and subsequent game...after last night's loss I bet curfew was intense and today they will be ready and sharp and ensure they do not lose this series against the MARLINS!

MLB - Milwaukee Brewers -147
The Brewers squandered a 5-1 lead against the Giants in Saturday's 8-7 loss, which included allowing three runs in an inning without San Francisco picking up a hit. Chase Anderson is seeking consistency for the Brewers after picking up a no-decision in a win over the Pirates his last time out. Jeff Samardzija takes the mound for San Francisco as the Giants are 1-5 in his last six starts. I'll back the Brewers to avoid the sweep.

Mets +105 over Cardinals
Vargas/Hudson
Jason Vargas has been pitching very well as of late and has been pitching deep into games which helps this bad bullpen. This guy has also been money at home. St. Louis has not been that great against left handed pitchers which really might be an issue against Vargas. The Mets are a pretty good home team that should keep the Cardinals off the board today. Take the Mets.

The Rockies are crushing left handed pitching right now and in two games against the Rockies Nick Margevicius has given up 10 runs in nine innings. Peter Lambert is 2-0 with a 1.5 ERA this season and the Rockies are 18-7 as the home favorite. Lay the favorite.

Trevor Bauer has been underwhelming this season with a 3.71 ERA and Spencer Turnbull has been very good with a 2.78 ERA. But this Tigers team is the second worst in the league at scoring runs, and Miguel Cabrera’s out. I like the Indians to outscore the Tigers today despite the pitching matchup.

The Athletics blew the Mariners out on Saturday, and I like their odds of picking up another win on Sunday. Seattle starter Mike Leake doesn't miss many bats, and allows a lot of hard contact and home runs. Behind him is a bullpen that's been shaky at best as of late, posting an ERA of 5.92 over the last two weeks. Oakland's bullpen is a concern itself, but I like this matchup for Frankie Montas, particularly against a Seattle offense that no longer has Edwin Encarnacion in the middle of it.
