Seattle -3.5

The Seahawks have value in this preseason affair.

The runningback battle is a huge reason for this one. Seattle has seen Thomas Rawls and Eddie Lacey both share time in practice and in the first game.

Both backs should see a lot of time this season, but obviously one is going to be the starter. That battle plays in our favor here. The duo of backs will split time here and should play somewhat deep into this one.

As for Minnesota, they likely aren't going to showcase their starters much. They had to grind to a 17-10 win in Week 1, not showing too much offensively. Expect them to stay low key here as well with their starters.

Some trends to note. Seahawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Seahawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games on fieldturf.

This number makes sense.

Back Seattle.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday NFLx 7* ATS Play

Brewers vs. Rockies over 12

The Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies meet at Coors Field on Friday night. The temperature is expected to be in the mid 80's which means the ball will be carrying well.

Matt Garza is a pitch to contact type of guy at this stage in his career. Those pitchers rarely fair well at Coors Field. He's up against a Rockies lineup that has some elite lefties to put up against him. Garza has been fine against righties this year, but lefties have crushed him.

German Marquez has been pretty good this year, but he'll be worked hard by a solid Brewers lineup. Look for him not to get very deep into the game here. The Rockies bullpen has been particularly awful of late, so lots of late scoring chances for the Brewers shouldn't be a surprise.

Look for a high scoring contest here.

Take the over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* MLB O/U Play

Arizona Diamondbacks -120
The Diamondbacks have value at essentially a pickem price here on Friday night.

The Twins are still in the midst of the Wild Card race, but it's going to be tough to hang around with their inconsistencies. Minnesota dropped 2 of 3 to Cleveland this week, as their home play has been a main reason for their struggles.

Minnesota is just 28-35 at home this season, allowing nearly 6 runs per game inside Target Field.

On the other side of the things, Arizona has one of the best offenses in the MLB. Top to bottom this lineup has plenty of depth and power.

On top of that, they have dominated the AL Central. The Diamondbacks have gone 6-0 in their last 6 against the division, as interleague play has treated them well.

Some trends to note. Diamondbacks are 8-2 in their last 10 interleague games. Diamondbacks are 7-2 in their last 9 during game 1 of a series.

This price makes too much sense.

Back Arizona.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* MLB ML Play.

Phillies vs. Giants Under 7

The Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants are two of the four worst offenses in baseball. These teams have struggled to score all year long. Now, they meet at the hardest park to hit a home run at in the majors, and I expect a low scoring contest.

Aaron Nola is throwing a fastball that breaks hard to the right of late, and the pitch is just devastating. Combine that with the excellent curveball he has, and it is no wonder he has some of the best numbers in baseball in recent months.

Jeff Samardzija has had some bad batted ball luck this year. He doesn't walk anyone, and that goes a long way to helping unders in the long run. I think he slows down the Phillies and pitches deep into the night here.

Look for a low scoring close game.

Take the under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* MLB O/U Play

San Diego Padres -115

The Padres get the edge here on Thursday night, as they hold value at the given price.

San Diego enters play actually playing rather well. They opened a seven game home stand with a 3 game sweet of the Phillies. Timely hitting and solid starting pitching got them through the sweep and they'll look to carry that momentum into this one.

San Diego sends out RH Jhoulys Chacin, has been dominant in his recent outings. Chacin was on a 5-0 run prior to his tough start against the Reds, but still overall has found a solid groove.

Some trends to note. Padres are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Padres are 8-2 in their last 10 home games.

San Diego has played well at home as of late and have some confidence brewing here.

Back San Diego.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* MLB ML Play

Miami Dolphins -2.5

Fading the Ravens here is the solid way to go.

Baltimore was an absolute mess in their preseason opener and don't have many signs of flipping things around here.

The Ravens were trounced 23-3 by the Redskins, as QB Ryan Mallet just couldn't find any rhythm or consistency. He'll see a majority of the time here, which is a nice reason for backing the Dolphins in this case.

Miami played a far better game in a 3 point win over the Falcons. The Dolphins looked much more complete on both sides of the ball and QB David Fales will get another chance at really impressing. Last week he finished with 184 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Expect big things from him against this Ravens defense.

Some trends to note. Ravens are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games.

Lets assume the Dolphins backups repeat last week, making them valuable here.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NFLX ATS Play

Texas -1.5 +115

The Rangers have value laying the RL here against Detroit on Wednesday night.

This is just a case of two teams going in complete different directions.

Texas has been heating up over the past 2 months and find themselves right in the Wild Card race. The first two games of this series have gone according to plan for them, as they've dominated both with their pitching and clutch hitting.

Here they send out Cole Hamels, who has put together back to back very solid outings. He'll be countered by Anibal Sanchez, who owns a 7.84 ERA lifetime versus Texas.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 2-7 in their last 9 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Tigers are 1-4 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Detroit it just too much of a mess right now.

Back Texas RL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* MLB RL Play

Atlanta vs. Colorado Over 11.5

The Braves and Rockies continue their series and the Over here has value.

We backed the Under on Monday here in this series and it worked to perfection in a 3-0 win for Colorado. However, holding offenses down in this ballpark on consecutive days is extremely tough. On top of all that, this pitching matchup doesn't help the cause either.

Colorado averages 6.11 runs per game this season. LH Sean Newcomb will see this lineup and his abysmal season continues. He enters play 1-7 on the season, unable to gain any sort of traction.

On the other side of things, Atlanta will face Kyle Freeland, who rides an up and down season thus far. The Braves offense has surprisingly shown plenty of solid signs this season and should see plenty of scoring chances here against the Rockies LH.

Some trends to note. Over is 11-3 in Rockies last 14 games following a win. Over is 24-6 in Braves last 30 road games vs. a team with a winning record.

This spot is certainly worth a move here.

Back Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* MLB O/U Play

New York Mets +128

The New York Mets start Jacob Degrom here, and anytime you can find him as a pretty significant underdog, you have to take a look. Degrom started the season a bit slowly, but he has been on point of late.

Degrom is striking out a whopping 10.65 batters every nine innings this year. Degrom has perfected his secondary pitches even more this year and that has led to him having his best consistent stretch of his career.

Look for Sonny Gray to make a few mistake pitches here and the Mets capitalize. This Mets team isn't all that good now, but they are still playing hard and with an ace on the mound they show value here.

The Yankees are the most public team there is, and I believe the oddsmakers have started inflating Yankees lines a bit of late. We'll grab the underdog with the top notch starter on the hill.

Take the Mets.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.
Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play

Seattle +106

Both of these teams come limping in here, but grabbing the Mariners at plus money at home is a solid move situstionally.

Seattle has certainly shown plenty of signs this season that they can compete. Injuries have really done this team in for the most part, as they continue to struggle to keep their pitching staff healthy. However, the offense has been a giant bright spot for this team and they should have a field day here against Gausman.

The Baltimore RH has been horrific this season. He sits with an ERA of 5.21 and opponents are hitting .302 against him this season.

The Mariners offense is primed for a bounce back here after a tough series against the Angels. Seattle has one of the deepest lineups that features solid power in the middle, with players who can hit for average all around them.

This is too nice of a price and spot to pass up on. Look for the Mariners to come out aggressive and put a lot of traffic on the bases.

Back Seattle.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
