Los Angeles -0.5 -145 (F5) at Pittsburgh 6:35 EST The Dodgers outscored the Cubs 20-3 over the weekend. No reason for the offense to let up against the Pirates and SP Jose Quintana. Julio Urias goes for L.A. The Pirates are batting .225 vs. left-handed pitching on the season.
Detroit -120 vs. Oakland 7:10 EST I will back the home Tigers here in a matchup of bad teams. The A’s haven’t won in more than a week. The starting matchup is a decent one, with a slight edge to Oakland if I had to choose. But Detroit’s bullpen has the fourth-best ERA and seventh-best WHIP in the Majors in a game where relief pitching should be a large factor.
