MLB | A's vs Giants
Play on: Giants -118 at 5Dimes
My free play is on the SF Giants at 4:05 ET. The Oakland Athletics last series loss was a three-game sweep at the hands of the Houston and came back in mid-June (12-14). The A's have won five consecutive series since and Oakland kept its hopes of extending that streak to six consecutive series victories alive with a two-run HR in the seventh inning that erased a 3-2 deficit in giving them a 4-3 win on Saturday. Oakland is 54-42 on the season but the A's remain nine games back of the defending world champion Astros in the tough AL West. Saturday's defeat dropped San Francisco to 5-4 on its 10-game homestand and to 50-47 on the season. However, while the Giants' would be 4 1/2 games back of the A's if the teams were in the same division, San Francisco is just 3 1/2 games out of the NL West lead.
Sunday's rubber match of this Bay Bridge Series features a pair of lefties, Sean Manaea (8-6, 3.44 ERA) of Oakland and Andrew Suarez (3-5, 3.75 ERA) of San Francisco. Manaea opened the season starting out 4-2 with a 1.03 ERA in his first six starts but then slumped in going 1-4 with a 7.18 ERA in his next six outings. Manaea lasted only four innings in a no-decision in his most recent start (at Houston on Tuesday), a game in which he allowed three runs on seven hits while throwing 83 pitches (Oakland lost 6-5 in 11-innings). Despite the brief outing, Manaea extended his unbeaten streak to seven starts (he's 3-0 and the A's 5-2). Manaea has made two career starts against the Giants, recording a win and a loss while surrendering six runs (just two earned) on 15 hits in 8.2 innings.
Suarez enters having pitched very well over his last six starts, although he's just 1-1 in that span and the Giants are only 3-3. He has given up just one run in each of his last four outings, while giving up only two runs in his previous two starts to that. He limited the Cubs to one run on three hits and four walks in six innings of a no-decision against Chicago on Monday, a game the Giants won 2-1. Suarez has never faced Oakland and was reached for five runs over four innings in a loss at Houston on May 22 in his only interleague start.
Oakland is 14-4 in its last 18 games and 20-6 in its last 26 games since June 16, while totaling 39 HRs in a stretch that has put them in the wild-card race and has management thinking about buying and not selling before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. However, I favor the home team in this rubber match, as Suarez has allowed two runs or less in six straight outings while posting a 2.00 ERA in those games. He's struggled on the road in 2018 with a 4.65 ERA but here in AT&T Park, he owns a 2.91 ERA, as well as an 0.99 WHIP. Giants take the series with a win.
Good luck...Larry

#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Oakland Athletics dropped the opener of this series Friday night, but they came back with a 4-3 triumph on Saturday and I think we're getting a great price on the A's here in the rubber-match.
San Francisco hands the ball to Andrew Suarez (3-5, 3.75 ERA). The left-hander has allowed two runs or less in six straight outings but struggled with his command somewhat his last time out, walking four walks in six innings against the Cubs. This will be Suarez first matchup with the Athletics who are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter.
Sean Manaea (8-6, 3.44 ERA) will take the ball for Oakland. He's 3-0 with a 3.16 ERA through his last seven starts and 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA in two career starts against the Giants. Giants are 1-4 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter.
The A's are 7-0-1 in their last eight series and should be motivated to take another one before the All Star break.
Free pick on Oakland Athletics.

Play on: Cubs -161 at 5Dimes
Take the Chicago Cubs with the money-line versus the San Diego Padres listing both starting pitchers Jon Lester and Eric Lauer. Chicago (54-38) has won five of their last seven games with their 11-6 victory over the Padres yesterday. The Cubs have then won 8 of their last 10 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game. Chicago has also won 13 of their last 19 road games against teams with a losing record at home. San Diego (40-58) has lost 13 of their last 19 games after a loss. The Padres have also lost 4 straight home games against teams with a winning record. Take the Cubs with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

Play on: OVER 9 +110
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Game #917 Sunday Free Pick OVER the total in Cleveland Indians vs New York Yankees @ 1:10 ET - Yesterday's game pushed on the total so the over remains 7-0 this season in Indians home games with a money line between -125 and +125 this season. Overall, on the season, Cleveland's home games are 32-14 to the over. Additionally, the Indians are 11-1 to the over in home games with a posted total of 9 or 9.5 runs this season. Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer has allowed 8 runs in his last 7 and 1/3 innings spanning two starts versus the Yankees. He was done in by some poor defense in those start so 6 of the runs were graded as unearned but the Yankees beat him both times so there is some additional confidence at the plate for New York here as a result. Plus, with yesterday's 5-4 win, the Yankees have won 8 of their last 12 games and averaged scoring 6 runs per game during this stretch. As for the Indians, they've averaged scoring nearly 7 runs per game in the month of July so they've been hot at the plate too. They'll faced Masahiro Tanaka of the Yankees here and the right-hander has allowed at least 3 earned runs in 6 of his last 8 starts despite averaging only 5 innings per start during this stretch! The over is 9-3 in Tanaka's last 12 starts. The over is 10-4 in Cleveland's Sunday games this season. The Indians last 6 games have resulted in 0 unders and this one will NOT stay under either! Free Pick OVER the total in Cleveland

MLB | Reds vs Cardinals
Play on: Cardinals -149 at 5Dimes
Jack’s Free Pick Sunday: St. Louis Cardinals -149
The St. Louis Cardinals just fired manager Mike Matheny. They should respond in a big way here and win their final game prior to the All-Star Break. They’ll also be motivated to avoid the sweep at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds after getting embarrassed the past two days.
Miles Mikolas has been the ace of the Cardinals’ staff this season. He is 10-3 with a 2.65 ERA and 1.014 WHIP in 18 starts, including 4-3 with a 1.65 ERA and 0.915 WHIP in eight home starts. Mikolas is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA and 0.786 WHIP in two career starts against Cincinnati as well.
Anthony Desclafini is overmatched in this one. He is 4-1 in spite of a 4.43 ERA across seven starts this season. He has already allowed 10 homers in 40 2/3 innings. That is really poor when you consider Mikolas has only given up 8 homers in 115 1/3 innings.
St. Louis is a perfect 8-0 after scoring 3 runs or less in three straight games this season. It is coming back to win by 2.5 runs per game on average in this spot. Bet the Cardinals Sunday.
