 Atlanta is using 38-year-old Jesse Chavez as an opener to be followed by inconsistent Touki Touissaint, who has an 8.10 ERA in three outings this month. Thus, the Snakes have a good chance of getting out to a lead and when you bet the runline, that's usually golden. Arizona starter Luke Weaver has a 1.95 ERA at home this year.

he Marlins have been good at home since the trade deadline and they have now won 5 of the last 7 games against the Nats. Rogers won’t be in too long but their bullpen is capable, unlike the Nats. Take the Marlins at home.

Brandon Woodruff has struggled in his past couple outings including a 6 ER outing against the Cards last month. Jake Woodford pitched well against the Brewers last month and he has pitched well since being inserted into the rotation. Take the Cards.

Seems a cheap price considering the Mets are 15 games under .500 on the road and the Red Sox are 47-29 at home. The Sox are 11-4 vs. NL teams this season. Boston lefty Eduardo Rodriguez is 4-2 with a 3.59 ERA in his past eight starts and on plenty of extra rest. The Sox are 8-0 in his interleague starts all-time at Fenway Park. New York's Marcus Stroman gets among the worst run support in the majors at just 3.58 per game. The Mets are 0-5 in their past five after a win.

The Giants are the second best team in the league in September at 13-5 while the Padres are the second worst team in September at 5-11. Yet, the second best team is the underdog. Kevin Gausman has been one of the Giants best pitchers and he is better on the road at 8-2 with a 2.11 ERA. Joe Musgrove is expected to starts for the Padred. The Giants are just 1 game up on the Dodgers for the division lead while the Padres are effectively out of it 4 games back of the Wild Card. These teams split a 4 game series last week but the Giants went with bullpen games for two of those games, working their bullpen hard. They were off yesterday so they should have everyone available and their best lineup in. Take the Giants.

The Blue Jays were a hit away from tying the game last night in the 9th, but their bats really heated up when they started seeing pitchers they’ve seen before. Drew Rasmussen and Alek Manoah have both been very good but the Blue Jays are 15-4 in September while the Rays are 9-10 and just 5-5 at home. Take the Blue Jays to even this series at 1-1.

We hit the Under on Monday between these teams because the wind was blowing in at Comerica Park and it's blowing in even harder today so let's try it again even though neither starting pitcher -- Dallas Keuchel and Tyler Alexander -- is all that trustworthy. The total has dropped to 9 almost everywhere so we are getting a free half-run.
