MLB (0.5 Unit) Chicago White Sox\/Minnesota Twins Over 8.5 (-110; Odds via Caesars): 6:40 PM CT on MNNT<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll say this about the Twins selling off everything that wasn\u2019t nailed down at the trade deadline: at least they\u2019ve become an over bettor\u2019s dream. All the minor leaguers that were promoted, plus September callups now in the mix, sure know how to get runs on the board as their past 15 games have gone 13-2 over tonight\u2019s total while averaging 11.5 runs per game. Included in that stretch is 5 games against Chicago which have 4-1 over this number with 12 runs on average.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of pitchers getting work for both of these teams who simply belong in the minors, and that equates to runs at this level. While it\u2019s much cooler in Minneapolis tonight than would be ideal for hitting conditions, the wind is somewhat blowing out to right. And this just a low total for how both teams have been playing, as the White Sox are also averaging 11.5 runs their past 15 games with a 10-5 mark over this total. I have serious questions about both starters and no faith in either bullpen, so look for another high-scoring game here.<\/p>\n

MLB (0.75 Unit) Joey Cantillo Over 4.5 Hits Allowed (-1050; Odds via DraftKings): 5:45 PM CT on NESN<\/p>\n
Since being promoted to a starter\u2019s role, Cantillo has been on a short leash and Cleveland has never allowed him to finish 6 full innings. That has kept his hits allowed to very low numbers almost every game, only going over this number 3 times in his past 8 outings. But he\u2019s yet to face a team that does the kind of damage Boston does to lefties, as the Red Sox are top-4 in every offensive metric against southpaws. They also tend to jump on the opposing starter early, just ask Cleveland\u2019s starters the past two nights who have been knocked around, so even a short leash won\u2019t save Cantillo from giving up plenty of hits tonight.<\/p>\n

MLB (0.75 Unit) SF Giants First 5 Innings Team Total Over 3.5 (-105; Odds via Fanduel): 7:40 PM CT on COLR<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been riding Giants team totals this week, and I won\u2019t be stopping but I will be slightly adjusting since they\u2019ve done most of their damage early anyway. I\u2019m also looking at price here, seeing this number juiced at a better price than the over on German Marquez\u2019s 3.5 earned runs prop. Marquez has been brutal at home like most Rockies starters, owning a 6.36 ERA and .313 opponent on-base average. He has also lasted more than 5 innings just once in his past 5 home starts, and even in that one he surrendered 6 runs before the first 5 innings were done. Marquez is probably the most combustible starter Colorado has, and with the way San Fran is hitting right now, I think they clear this early total with ease again.<\/p>\n
