Matt Severance
FEATURED PICK
CHI. WHITE SOX @ MINNESOTA | 08/11 | 1:10 PM EDT
MINNESOTA +1.5
ANALYSIS: No Luis Robert, Yoan Moncada or Tim Anderson in the lineup for Chicago; on the mound, the White Sox were to start Lance Lynn, who is 4-1 with a 1.53 ERA in day games this year and 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in four outings vs. the Twins. However, he was a late scratch -- not injury-related but to use him Thursday in the Field of Dreams game -- in favor of Reynaldo Lopez. Downgrade obviously. Minnesota's Bailey Ober has allowed three earned or fewer in four straight. I like the Twins on the runline now that Lynn is out, a few regulars are resting and maybe the Pale Hose are looking ahead to Thursday's very unique game vs. the Yankees.

TAMPA BAY @ BOSTON | 08/11 | 7:10 PM EDT
TAMPA BAY +105
ANALYSIS: The Red Sox have been seriously struggling as they fell to a season high five games back of first place yesterday. They face Josh Fleming, and the Red Sox tend to struggle against lefties. The Rays hit righties much better and they should have a more favorable matchup than last night’s lefty with Nate Eovaldi. Eovaldi has seriously struggled his past couple starts and he allowed six runs in 5.1 IP to the Rays two starts ago. Fleming allowed just three runs in five innings against the Red Sox two starts ago and the Rays have won five straight, take the Rays.
CHI. WHITE SOX @ MINNESOTA | 08/11 | 1:10 PM EDT
MINNESOTA +162
ANALYSIS: As Severance pointed out, the White Sox are sitting multiple key players including their original starting pitcher in Lance Lynn in favor of the Field of Dreams game tomorrow. The Yankees are doing something similar, so I think this is a good spot to fade both Field of Dreams teams at plus money and hope to come out positive. Bailey Ober has weirdly faced the White Sox four times already this season but Reynaldo Lopez shouldn't get too deep into the game as he is not stretched out. Take the Twins as home underdogs.
N.Y. YANKEES @ KANSAS CITY | 08/11 | 2:10 PM EDT
KANSAS CITY +125
ANALYSIS: The Yankees are going with a bullpen game today but most notably the Yankees are missing many key starters the day before the Field of Dreams game. Gary Sanchez, Anthony Rizzo, Gleyber Torres, and Gio Urshela are all out of the lineup for various different reasons. Brady Singer is coming off the IL and he didn’t pitch well against the Yankees in his first start against them but this is a much easier lineup to navigate. The Yankees are only 23-19 as road favorites while the Royals are 13-13 as home underdogs. The Royals are actually much better at home at 29-26.

ANALYSIS: The Rays' offense is really going strong right now and they are in a great spot Wednesday as an underdog. The Red Sox are 1-7 since July 11 after they allowed at least six runs in their last game. The Rays are 8-1 since May 6 on the road past the first game of the series after they had a comeback win in their last game.
