TAMPA BAY @ MONTREAL | 07/05 | 8:00 PM EDT
TAMPA BAY -157
ANALYSIS: Bit of a tough call here as you know the Lightning would prefer to clinch the Cup on home ice and the players might be a little tired of being in that Montreal bubble due to COVID restrictions. One figures the Habs come out firing with nothing to lose -- that also could weaken their defense in front of Carey Price. He's a future Hall of Famer but has been very shaky in this series with a 4.38 GAA and a .835 save percentage. Some had speculated Jake Allen might get the call in Game 4, but it will be Price. I simply can't come up with enough reasons to justify picking Montreal with the talent gap between these teams. Maybe if the Canadiens had a full building of fans. And the puckline on the Habs at -200 is simply not worth it. Tampa sweeps to repeat, and we'll see you in October when we can cherry-pick the best regular-season games and get our numbers up near +4000 again.

SAN DIEGO @ PHILADELPHIA | 07/04 | 1:05 PM EDT
PHILADELPHIA +1.5
ANALYSIS: The Padres are 0-8 in Blake Snell's road starts, and he has a 10.36 road ERA. The Phillies hit lefties much better than righties (.739 OPS to .677). Philadelphia got back to full strength Friday when Didi Gregorius returned to the lineup, and the Phils are now 24-15 at home after taking the first two games of this series. It's hard to trust their bullpen, so take the Phillies plus 1.5 runs at -140.

CHI. CUBS @ CINCINNATI | 07/04 | 1:10 PM EDT
CINCINNATI -121
ANALYSIS: Chicago concludes its lengthy road trip by facing a left-handed starter for the first time in a week. It hasn't won since its combined no-hitter against the Dodgers on June 24. RHP Kyle Hendricks is 6-5 with a 4.39 ERA versus the Reds (2-5, 6.67 on the road). He has allowed five or more runs in his last three at Cincinnati dating to Aug. 10, 2019, going 0-3 with a 12.46 ERA during that span. Reds LHP Wade Miley is 2-0 with a 2.61 ERA in six starts since returning from the IL. Cincinnati has scored at least 10 runs in five of his outings, including three of the last four, and has won each of those contests. Take Cincinnati, which is 20-12 against the NL Central.

MILWAUKEE @ PITTSBURGH | 07/04 | 1:05 PM EDT
MILWAUKEE -180
ANALYSIS: The Brewers have now won 11 straight games while the Pirates have lost six straight games. Freddy Peralta hasn’t allowed more than two runs in any of his last nine starts while Tyler Anderson was 0-3 with a 4.97 ERA in June. The Brewers haven’t even needed to use their top bullpen guys the past couple days so they are well rested if this were to be a close game. Take the Brewers to win their 12th straight game.
TAMPA BAY @ TORONTO | 07/04 | 1:07 PM EDT
TORONTO -172
ANALYSIS: The Blue Jays have won 10 of their last 13 games and they are on a roll right now as they go for the series sweep against the Rays. The Rays have lost five straight games overall and 10 straight games on the road. Ryan Yarbrough hasn’t been great with a 4.48 ERA in June while Robbie Ray is coming off a 4-1 with a 2.86 ERA month of June. The Blue Jays are ranked fifth in the league in wOBA against lefties while the Rays are ranked 23rd. Take the Blue Jays to get the sweep.

Reds +105 over Cubs
Miley/Hendricks
The last two nights have been low scoring games with each team grabbing a win. Wade Miley is having a decent year and I believe can keep the Reds in this game. Kyle Hendricks has really struggled with the home run ball so all it might take it a bloop and a blast for Cincinnati to put this game away. Have a Happy 4th of July. Take the Reds.
