18 Aug 20:20 Chicago Cubs vs Kansas City Royals

The Royals played last night in a game they lost to the Mariners while the Cubs have had more time to rest. The Royals are not a good offensive side, they are bottom in almost every offensive statistical category. Before the Blue Jays game, Jameson Taillon was picking up good form allowing 3 or fewer runs in his last 6. He should be back to his best here against a poor offensive Royals side as he leads his team to a win.

Suggested Bet: Chicago Cubs ML

19 Aug 02:10 Houston Astros vs Seattle Mariners

The Mariners are coming off a series sweep against the Royals but now this is going to be a much more difficult opponent for them, and for game one, I’m going with the Astros. Jp France is going on the mound for the home team and he is undefeated in his previous 8 starts! This game should be close but with the Astros team being more well-rested plus the home crowd behind them, I’m taking them here.

Suggested Bet: Houston Astros ML

19 Aug 04:10 Los Angeles Dodgers vs Miami Marlins

Currently, the streak with the Dodgers moneyline bet is yet to be broken and that is why I’m taking it here yet again. The Dodgers are currently on an 11-game winning streak and don’t look to be stopping soon. They are having no problems with their pitching and have no problems when it comes to hitting the ball. Tony Gonsolin starts here and he is undefeated in his previous 3 starts. I am taking the LA team to deliver once again.

Suggested Bet: LA Dodgers ML
