This is a 5* play on Texas.

The Rangers won Game 1 of this series in Cincinnati, and they appear to have a favorable matchup in Game 2 Saturday.

Mike Minor will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he's been dealing in 2019. Minor (5-4, 2.52 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on four hits, striking out six in eight innings in a win at Boston his last time out.

The Reds hand the ball to Tanner Roark, who has lost four of his last five starts. Roark (4-5, 3.74 ERA) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings in a loss to Philly his last time out. He's 1-4 with a 3.86 ERA in seven home starts.

The Rangers rank 2nd in the major leagues in scoring, while Cincinnati ranks 25th.

Take TEX.

This is an 8* play on the Colorado Rockies.

The Rockies blew a big lead in Game 2 versus San Diego, but after splitting the first two games of this series I like Colorado in the rubber match.

German Marquez will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he's pitched well at home. Marquez (6-3, 4.19 ERA) allowed four runs on five hits in six innings in a home win over the Cubs his last time out. The Rockies are 6-0 in his last six home starts.

The Padres hand the ball to Eric Lauer, who has struggled on the road. The 24 year old is 2-2 with a 6.84 ERA in five starts away from PETCO. He was torched for eight runs on eight hits and three walks in just three innings in a loss here at Coors Field earlier this season.

The Padres made plenty of moves in the off-season to bring in star players, but they still rank 26th in the majors in scoring.

Take COL.

This is an 8* play on the New York Mets.

The Mets will look to avoid being swept in those home series versus St. Louis, and they appear to have a favorable matchup in Game 3 on Saturday.

Noah Syndergaard will toe the slab for the Metropolitians, and he's coming off a stellar performance at home in a win over Colorado. He gave up a single hit, striking out seven in seven scoreless innings versus the Rockies.

The Cardinals hand the ball to Michael Wacha, who hasn't missed many bats this season. Wacha (4-2, 5.63 ERA) tossed six scoreless innings in a win over Miami his last time out. St. Louis had lost in each of his previous four starts.

The Mets are batting a combined .314 over a combined 70 at bats versus Wacha.

Take NYM.

This is a 5* play on [email protected] to go Under the total.

The Calgary Stampeders were the best team in the CFL last year, and they have been by far the best team north of the border over the past decade. They open the season at home against Ottawa, who they beat 27-16 in last year's Grey Cup. The Stampeders won all three meetings versus Ottawa last season, and all three of those games went under the total. The Redblacks will come into this game without their starting quarterback, leading rusher and leading receiver from a year ago. The under is 21-5 in Calgary's last 26 games in the month of June, and they have failed to reach the total in eight of their last 11 home games.

Take Under.
