It includes a showdown between the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox on TBS at 7:10 pm ET. We also have on our hands the start of an intriguing series between the dominant Tampa Bay Rays and the surprising Pittsburgh Pirates.

Braves ML over Marlins (+108)

This is a second straight head-to-head matchup for Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins and Bryce Elder of the Braves, as they just faced each other last Wednesday. The Braves did decent enough work against the Marlins’ aces (2 runs in 5.2 innings) and ended up winning 6-4, so they know they can beat him. Atlanta took 3 of 4 games in that series and will still be eager to get back at Miami because it blew a 4-0 lead in the ninth inning of the finale while going for the sweep. Elder is 2-0 with a 2.17 ERA through 5 starts, establishing himself as the fifth pitcher in Atlanta’s starting rotation. The right-hander is facing a Marlins club that is dead last in the National League in runs scored with 99. 

Guardians ML over Yankees (+145)

The Guardians are coming off an epic win last night, scoring 3 runs in the top of the ninth to win 3-2 at Yankee Stadium. New York has now lost 4 in a row. Adding insult to injury, Aaron Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hip strain. It is true that Tuesday’s pitching matchup favors the Yankees, but that gives the Guardians great value as considerable underdogs. Tanner Bibee’s first major-league start for Cleveland last Wednesday against Colorado saw him pitch 5.2 innings of 1-run baseball while striking out 8 batters and walking none. New York’s Geritt Cole has been in fine form, but Jose Ramirez is 10-for-30 lifetime against him 2 homers, 3 doubles and a triple. Ramirez could help the underdogs get enough runs across the plate to pull off an upset.

Angels ML over Cardinals (+110)

The Angels are flat out a much better team than the Cardinals, at least at this point in time. As such, there is really no need to overthink this one. Getting Los Angeles at plus money is a steal. St. Louis just got swept by the Dodgers and then lost 3 of 4 to the Giants. That has them at 10-19 for the season – in last place in the NL and second-to-last in the entire National League. The Angels, on the other hand, are a respectable 15-14 and have won 4 of their last 6 games. Patrick Sandoval is taking the mound for L.A. tonight and he has allowed 2 runs or fewer in 4 of his 5 starts. Steven Matz of St. Louis has surrendered 4 runs or more in 3 of his 5 outings. Advantage: Angels.
