ANALYSIS: The Padres were in a dog fight of a series against the Dodgers this weekend and have another four-game against them looming. In the meantime, look for this team to be focused on banking a couple of wins. San Diego sends Joe Musgrove to the hill. He has been pounding the strike zone in his three starts so far on the season with a 2.27 strike-to-ball ratio. The Brewers are 0-6 SU since October 2019 when their opponent’s starter has a strike-per-ball ratio greater than 2.0 on the season.

ANALYSIS: Afternoon games are an unusual spot and the Pelicans have been absolutely awful in early afternoon games the past two seasons, going 0-4 SU and ATS, losing by more than 20 points per game. This young team is unlikely to cure its early-game woes here. New Orleans lost in Washington Thursday night, 117-115, in overtime. Zion Williamson scored 21 points in that game but Brandon Ingram led the team with 34 points. The Pelicans are 0-8 ATS (-12.00 ppg) on the road after Zion Williamson was not their high scorer last game.

ANALYSIS: Houston’s pitching has been struggling the past week, but the day off the Astros had yesterday should be critical in resetting that. Having one of their more consistent pitchers taking the mound today is important as well for what sets up to be a lower-scoring game than the Astros have been playing. Pitching for Houston today is Jose Urquidy, who lost to Oakland in his last start. The Under is 6-0 since Sept. 11, 2019, when Urquidy starts coming off a team loss in his last start.

ANALYSIS: It has been a slow start to the season for Tampa Bay, but the pedigree is still there. If anything, the slow start is keeping the line in today’s matchup down from where it otherwise might be. Texas won yesterday’s matchup against Tampa Bay, 5-1, in a game the Rangers led 5-0. The Rangers are 0-12 straight up since June 29, 2019, as a dog coming off a road win in which they never trailed.

ANALYSIS: Yesterday's game was a matchup of the two best pitchers in baseball, and it did not disappoint. But the pitching matchup tonight is quite strong as well. With both teams' offenses frustrated from yesterday, I do not see either breaking out in this game. Chicago is the slight home favorite in this game at 5-6 on the season looking up at the 6-4 Indians in the standings. The Under is 7-0 since June 30, 2019, when the White Sox are the home favorite and playing a team that has a better record.
