This is a play on the CHICAGO WHITE SOX (GAME 1) for our Thursday Free Play. The White Sox won four straight games prior to the postponement from last night as the pitching has been the catalyst, allowing just five runs total over the four-game stretch. Despite being eight games under .500, Chicago is just four games out of first place in the American League Central. The Yankees were on a 6-2 run before the series opening loss on Tuesday and New York is now eight games behind the Rays in the American League East. Luis Severino has made three starts and his last one was a disaster as he allowed seven runs on nine hits against the Dodgers and while he is in a decent spot to bounce back, he is overpriced. Lance Lynn is coming off an awful start against the angels where he allowed eight runs in four innings, the third time he has allowed at least seven runs. He followed up the first two instances with quality outings next time out. Here, we play on American League road underdogs with a money line of +125 to +175 averaging 4.4 or fewer rpg on the season, after allowing two runs or less in two straight games. This situation is 33-18 (64.7 percent) over the last five seasons. Play (971) Chicago White Sox

Fargo split his MLB plays on Wednesday with the win coming on the +125 Cardinals and it is now a 20-16 +$10,870 MLB run the last 17 days! He is poised for a massive Thursday with three winners in this Underdog Triple Play as he goes for a PERFECT 3-0 SWEEP!

This is a play on the DETROIT TIGERS as part of our MLB Underdog Triple Play. This game was postponed due to the air quality in Philadelphia. The Tigers were swept against the White Sox over the weekend but were in every game as they were Tuesday in the 1-0 loss as the offense has found some struggles along the recent way but can actually bust out here despite what the number says. The Phillies snapped a five-game losing streak with a pair of weekend wins over Washington and has won four straight games to crawl back to three games under .500. They still trail the Braves by nine games in the National League East but are being treated as a contender here. The reason is Zack Wheeler who is very good no doubt but is far from a strong big favorite as the Phillies are 2-4 in games he is favored by -160 or higher. He has a 4.33 ERA on the season after getting shelled by Washington last time out and has allowed four runs or more in five of 12 starts. Reece Olsen got bumped and Tyler Holton gets the start as an opener and we could see Olsen follow. Holton has a 2.32 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in 17 relief appearances so he will not go far and Olsen had a strong Major League debut where he did not allow a hit until the sixth inning and ended up allowing only two runs. 10* (973) Detroit Tigers

This is a play on the NEW YORK METS as part of our MLB Underdog Triple Play. After getting swept in Toronto, the Mets have dropped the first two games of this series to make it five straight losses and they now trail the Braves by 7.5 games in the National League East. New York was back on track for a while but has dipped back to two games under .500 after allowing 19 runs the last three games. Atlanta has won four straight after taking the weekend series in Arizona prior to the two wins here that included another comeback last night which was won in the eighth inning. It has not been an overall great run for the Braves as they are just 12-13 over their last 25 games. Justin Verlander has been a Wild Card this season but is worth the take at this price. In six starts, he has allowed six runs in two of those, one of those in Colorado and the other against Tampa Bay, but he has allowed just one run in his other four outings. Spencer Strider is one of the top pitchers in baseball but after cruising through April with a 1.80 ERA in his first five starts, he has not been that great since, posting a 3.86 ERA in his last seven starts. Strider has had his struggles against this lineup with a 5.19 ERA in four starts. 10* (957) New York Mets

This is a play on the COLORADO ROCKIES as part of our MLB Underdog Triple Play. San Francisco took Game Two last night as it rallied from a 4-0 deficit, scoring five runs in the seventh and eighth innings to take the 5-4 win. The Giants have won two straight games to move back over .500. The Rockies have dropped three straight games and are 2-7 over their last nine games but are catching a big number in the series finale in a good pitching spot. Chase Anderson goes for Colorado and he has regained some of early career magic from his days in Milwaukee. He has a 2.08 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in four outings with three of those at Coors Field and the last one in Kansas City resulted in a quality start. Alex Cobb rebounded from his worst outing of the season where he allowed seven runs over four innings at Milwaukee as he tossed 7.2 scoreless innings against the Orioles at home. The issue now is Coors Field where he made two starts last season, posting a 7.50 ERA and allowing 10 hits in each outing. Here, we play on National League home teams hitting between .255 and .269 and with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.00 or better on the season going up against a pitcher with an ERA of 3.00 or better. This situation is 181-96 (65.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (956) Colorado Rockies
