Chicago White Sox @ Cincinnati Reds
(#958) Reds -105
Something stinks with this line. The public is all over the White Sox but the Reds are favored to win. The White Sox are coming off a difficult series with the Twins and they just clinched a spot in the playoffs for the first time in over 10 years so they probably did some celebrating last night. The Reds have their eye on a playoff spot and will be ready to hit the White Sox in this spot. This is a game to watch the line movements to avoid a trap game. If the Reds remain the favorite by the first pitch they will be the play.
Risk 1.05 Units to win 1 unit on the Reds to win.

New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox
(#965) Yankees -1½ -135
The Yankees were playing terrible a few weeks ago with no offense and now they can’t stop hitting home runs. It is noticeable when they have a fully healthy lineup as well. This team is trying to prove a point after losing 6 straight games they have now won 8 straight games. This is a spot where you keep taking this team until their bats go cold.
The Yankees have a .362 team batting average against Perez.
The Yankees are 21-5 in the last 26 meetings.
The Yankees are 7-0 this season against the Red Sox.
Risk 1.35 Units to win 1 Unit on the Yankees to win by 2 or more.

Minnesota Twins @ Chicago Cubs
(#974) Cubs -120
The Cubs are playing well winning 4 straight and 7 of the last 10 games. The Twins are coming off a tough series against the White Sox where they exhausted their bullpen. Rich Hill only averages around 4 inning’s when he starts so that means the Twins bullpen will have to do some heavy lifting. The Twins bullpen ERA is 3.72 and lost the last few games for them. The Twins have only scored 11 runs in the previous 4 games compared to the Cubs 25 runs. The public is on the Twins in this game and the Cubs have a good chance to win.
Risk 1.2 Units to win 1 Unit on the Cubs to win.
