The Baltimore Orioles have dropped two straight games to bring their record to 14-20 on the season. The Orioles hope to salvage the rubber game of this series with the Tigers after dropping the first two games. The O's have scored just two runs overall in this series thus far. Tyler Wells starts today for the O's with a 1-2 record and 3.75 ERA. Wells has pitched very good of late, allowing just two total runs over his last two starts (11 innings). In fact, the Wells has not allowed over two runs in any of his last five games. The Tigers look to sweep the series today with Tarik Skubal on the hill. Skubal is 2-2 in his six starts with a 2.41 ERA. Skubal has allowed just two runs over his last two starts (13 innings). I look for this game to go UNDER.

The Boston Red Sox look for the sweep here today in Texas. The Sox took game one and game two of this series by a combined 18-4 score. Lefty Austin Davis will get the start today for the Sox. Don't expect Davis to be more than in the role of an opener here today as he's not expected to last much past the 1st inning. Texas looks to salvage the rubber game here today with Martin Perez on the hill. Perez is 1-2 on the season with a 2.10 ERA. Perez has only allowed two earned runs over his last four starts (26 2/3 innings). With the Sox going with an opener that means they will rely on a bullpen that has been mediocre at best this year. I'll take the Rangers here today.

It's Game 7 of this Eastern Conference Clash between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics. The Bucks extended the series with a game 6 win, 108-95 to force this game seven back in Boston. Four of the six games in the series have gone UNDER the total. Milwaukee has had some very poor shooting games in this series, hitting just 41.5% or worse in four of the six games. Their three-point shots have also been bad with half their games having a 26.5% or worse mark. Two of the three games in Boston have gone under and for me, I'm sticking with a lower scoring game here today. Play UNDER.

The Houston Astros had their 11-game win streak snapped on Saturday by Washington, 6-13. The Astros pitching must have taken the day off after shutting out three of their previous five opponents. The win streak brought the team to within 1-game of the AL West leading Angels. Right now it's a two-team race in the AL West with the other three teams all below the .500 mark. Justin Verlander takes the hill today and is looking like his old Cy Young self. Verlander is 4-1 in six starts with a 1.55 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 3-1 mark and 0.64 ERA. Washington is just 12-23 on the season and in last place in the NL East. The Nats are 3-7 over their last 10-games. Pat Corbin will start today and he's been in bad shape all season. Corbin is 0-5 in his seven starts with a 6.06 ERA. I don't see the Astros losing this game, but I'll have to lay the Run Line with the big price on their heads. Play Houston Run Line.
