N.Y. YANKEES @ TAMPA BAY | 07/29 | 1:10 PM EDT
N.Y. YANKEES -130
ANALYSIS: The Yankees are 7-0 all-time on the road with Gerrit Cole taking on an AL foe when he averaged more than four pitches per batter in his last start. He has seven quality starts in this spot, going an average of 7.38 inning with a WHIP of 0.67. The Rays are 0-6 as home underdogs coming off a game as favorites in which they had more strikeouts than hits.
CHI. WHITE SOX @ KANSAS CITY | 07/29 | 2:10 PM EDT
CHI. WHITE SOX -180
ANALYSIS: The White Sox are 17-0 as 140-plus favorites coming off a game as favorites in which they did not hit a home run. The Royals, meanwhile, are 0-8 as 120-plus underdogs when they won by one run in their starter’s last start, while leading for multiple innings.

N.Y. YANKEES @ TAMPA BAY | 07/29 | 1:10 PM EDT
N.Y. YANKEES -130
ANALYSIS: No one likes Tropicana Field, it's a dang mausoleum, but Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole apparently enjoys it there with a career 1.82 ERA in four starts -- including eight brilliant shutout innings May 12. No team strikes out more than the Rays, so he could have 14Ks this afternoon. Aaron Judge has been medically cleared and should be in the lineup -- he didn't start Wednesday waiting for test results but pinch-hit. Newly-acquired Joey Gallo surely will not debut quite yet with travel, etc. It's Luis Patino (1-2, 5.26) on the mound for Tampa, which has dropped its past three. I can't not take Cole at a price of just -130.

UNDER 7.5
ANALYSIS: New York RHP Gerrit Cole has absolutely regained his form after a rough patch. Cole has registered 31 strikeouts in 20 innings over his last three starts against the strong offenses of Houston and Boston. Look for Cole to control this game and keep it low-scoring. Tampa Bay is 2-1 against Cole and defeated the Yankees the last time they faced him in June. The Rays are 0-9 OU (-3.89 ppg) since Oct. 8, 2020 as underdogs when they defeated the opposing starting pitcher in the last same-season meeting.

BALTIMORE @ DETROIT | 07/29 | 7:10 PM EDT
DETROIT -153
ANALYSIS: The Tigers have been one of the most profitable teams in the league this season and you can see why after winning two straight in Minnesota at +170 and +120. They head home now where they are much better and face an Orioles team that is much worse on the road. Casey Mize won't go dep into the game but hell give four solid innings and he should be able to get the lead for a Tigers team who scored 17 runs yesterday without a home run. Take the Tigers at home.

CHI. WHITE SOX @ KANSAS CITY | 07/29 | 2:10 PM EDT
KANSAS CITY +1.5
ANALYSIS: Simply taking a shot on Royals RL here at even money because the White Sox are sitting Tim Anderson, Jose Abreu and Eloy Jimenez due to rest/injury/the fact it's like 100 degrees in Kansas City. Royals pitcher Carlos Hernandez isn't very good but is facing a very weak lineup. Perhaps that it's so hot limits how long Sox Cy Young contender Carlos Rodon (8-4, 2.24) is out there. Also: top setup man Michael Kopech and closer Liam Hendriks are both unavailable.

CINCINNATI @ CHI. CUBS | 07/29 | 2:20 PM EDT
CINCINNATI -121
ANALYSIS: The Cubs are resting both Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo -- maybe it's just because of a day game after a night game, but it also could mean both are about to be traded. Frankly, it would be a shock if Bryant isn't dealt by tomorrow's deadline. With those two out, we'll back the Reds behind resurgent pitcher Luis Castillo. He was awful the first two months but had a 1.71 ERA in June and has the exact same 1.71 ERA this month. Chicago's Alec Mills has a 4.71 ERA in day games. The Cubs are 1-10 in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning record.

Larry's MLB 10* PERFECT STORM (9-2 ALL RUN!)
Handicapper: Larry Ness
League: MLB
Competition: Toronto Blue Jays(Ryu) vs Boston Red Sox(Rodriguez)
Time: Thursday, July 29, 07:10 pm ET
Bet Type: Moneyline
Action or Listed Pitchers: Listed Pitchers
Pick: Toronto Blue Jays +103 (BetOnline)
Analysis:
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Tor Blue Jays at 7:10 ET. Toronto snapped a two-game slide with a big 4-1 win here yesterday and with its ace on the mound, I think the visiting side will find a way to deliver again here on Thursday. Hyun-Jin Ryu (9-5, 3.44 ERA) gave up three runs and struck out four over four innings in a no-decision to the Mets on the weekend. It was just the third start this year that he's failed to pitch at least five innings. No need to hit the panic button obviously. Note that Ryu is 5-3 with a 3.44 ERA on the road as well this season. The home side counters with Eduardo Rodriguez (7-5, 5.23), who has pitched much better over the last month, but he was just pulled from his last start after one inning due to migraine issues. He's been given the green light here, but I say, advantage Ryu! Note as well that Toronto is 7-2 in its last nine after holding its opponent to one or less runs in a road victory in its last outing. Look for Ryu to go deep and for Toronto to post a second straight victory. The play is the Jays. Good luck...Larry
