Soccer

England - EFL Cup

3pm ET

Manchester United v Burton

Referee: Graham Scott

Last Head-To-Heads at Manchester United:
5-0 (Man Utd Win)

Recent Form:
Manchester United: 5-0-1
Burton: 3-1-2

KEY STAT: United have conceded in just one of five league games

EXPERT VERDICT: Holders Manchester United have started the season in excellent form and the title-chasing Red Devils should have little trouble overcoming poor-travelling Burton in the third round of the League Cup at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho fielded a strong team throughout last term’s competition, which saw his side oust Northampton, rivals Manchester City, West Ham, Hull and Southampton on their way to silverware. Burton have won just two of their last 12 league away games.

RECOMMENDATION: Manchester United to win 3-0 (1)

Soccer

Italy - Serie A

12pm ET

Benevento v Roma

Last Head-To-Heads at Benevento:
none

Recent Form:
Benevento: 0-5
Roma: 4-1-1

KEY STAT: Roma have won their last eight Serie A away fixtures.

EXPERT VERDICT: Newly-promoted Benevento are having a tough time in Serie A and their pointless status could be maintained by a home defeat to Roma. Benevento's confidence took a heavy knock with a 6-0 loss at Napoli on Sunday and they can expect no respite against Roma, who need a win to move within three points of the top of the table.

RECOMMENDATION: Roma to win 2-0 (1)

Soccer

Germany - Bundesliga

12:30pm ET

Cologne v E Frankfurt

Last Head-To-Heads at Cologne:
1-0 (Cologne win)
3-1 (Cologne win)
4-2 (Cologne win)
1-0 (Cologne win)

Recent Form:
Cologne: 1-5
E Frankfurt: 2-3-1

KEY STAT: Eintracht have won two of their last 19 league matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Cologne are the only team in the Bundesliga with a 100 per cent losing record this season but they can pick up their first point by sharing the spoils with Eintracht Frankfurt at the RheinEnergieStadion. The Billy Goats lost 5-0 at Borussia Dortmund on Sunday but have an easier task against Eintracht, who have won just two league matches in the last seven months.

RECOMMENDATION: Draw (1)

Soccer

Spain - La Liga

2pm ET

Athletic Bilbao v Atletico Madrid

Last Head-To-Heads at Bilbao:
2-2
0-1 (Atletico Madrid win)
1-4 (Atletico Madrid win)
1-2 (Atletico Madrid win)

Recent Form:
Athletic Bilbao: 3-1-2
Atletico Madrid: 3-0-3

KEY STAT: Athletic’s last six league and European encounters have produced five goals.

EXPERT VERDICT: Last season’s fixtures between these two produced eight goals but the evidence points to something far less eye-catching this time. Athletic have kept clean sheets in five of their last six in all competitions while Atletico are on a run of three straight clean sheets, including visits to Valencia and Roma.

RECOMMENDATION: Na Goalscorer (1)

Soccer

Germany - Bundesliga

2:30pm ET

Hamburg v Borussia Dortmund

Last Head-To-Heads at Hamburg:
2-5 (Borussia Dortmund win)
3-1 (Hamburg win)
0-0
3-0 (Hamburg win)

Recent Form:
Hamburg: 3-3
Borussia Dortmund: 4-1-1

KEY STAT: Dortmund have won their last three matches against Hamburg by three-goal margins.

EXPERT VERDICT: Borussia Dortmund have their injury problems but they also have a big squad and can cement first place by beating Hamburg at the Volksparkstadion. The Black and Yellows won 5-0 at home to Cologne on Sunday and should have to much class for Hamburg, who have lost their last two matches.

RECOMMENDATION: Dortmund-Dortmund double result (1)

Soccer

Italy - Serie A

2:45pm ET

Juventus v Fiorentina

Last Head-To-Heads at Juventus:
2-1 (Juventus win)
3-1 (Juventus win)
3-2 (Juventus win)
1-2 (Fiorentina win)

Recent Form:
Juventus: 4-2
Fiorentina: 2-3-1

KEY STAT: Juventus have won 36 of their last 37 Serie A home games.

EXPERT VERDICT: Juventus were disappointed with their 3-0 loss away to Barcelona in the Champions League but they have maximum points from four games in Serie A and can brush aside Fiorentina in Turin. All of Juve's league wins have been by at least two goals and they should be too strong for mid-table Fiorentina, who are six points worse off.

RECOMMENDATION: Juventus to win 2-0 (1)

Wednesday's Diamond Notes

Hottest team: Cubs (7-0 last seven) at Rays
The NL Central race is the only worth keeping an eye on over the final two weeks with the Cubs, Brewers, and Cardinals vying for the top spot. Chicago can’t quite distance itself from surging Milwaukee, but the defending champion Cubs are doing their best to grab the division title by winning their seventh straight game on Tuesday at Tampa Bay, 2-1. Since getting swept at home by the Brewers earlier this month, the Cubs swept the Mets with a tremendous offensive output, while allowing seven runs total in their last four victories over the Cardinals and Rays.

Jon Lester heads to the mound on Wednesday looking to stay perfect in September after winning his first three starts this month. The Cubs own a solid 6-1 record in his past seven road starts, while making his first appearance against the Rays since 2014 when he was a member of the Red Sox.

Coldest team: Pirates (0-7 last seven) vs. Brewers
Meanwhile, towards the bottom of the NL Central are the Pirates, who can’t even light up the scoreboard at this point. Pittsburgh has been shut out in each of its first two games against Milwaukee, even though the Bucs allowed only one run in Tuesday’s 1-0 home defeat. Since a 12-2 run in July which briefly had Pittsburgh back in the Wild Card discussion, the Pirates have won more than three straight games only once in the last two months.

Pittsburgh has been held to two runs or less during each game of this losing streak, while this current 1-12 run has come to all NL Central opponents. The only beacon of hope for the Pirates comes from the left arm of Steven Brault, who tossed six innings of one-hit ball in a 7-0 shutout of the Brewers on September 11, the last time Pittsburgh won a game.

Hottest pitcher: Luke Weaver, Cardinals (6-1, 1.89 ERA)
Since the start of August, Weaver has been the leader of this St. Louis rotation by going 6-0 in his past six outings. Weaver hasn’t allowed a run in his last two starts against the Pirates and Reds, while winning all three of his road outings. The Cardinals rallied past the Reds last night in extra innings as Weaver looks to duplicate his effort from his last start against Cincinnati when he scattered two hits and allowed one unearned run in six innings.

Coldest pitcher: Wade Miley, Orioles (8-13, 5.32 ERA)
The Red Sox have taken the first two games of their series at Baltimore in extra innings to creep closer towards another AL East championship. Miley may not be the right guy to stop the bleeding for Baltimore as the southpaw recorded only one out in his last start against the Yankees, while giving up six hits and six earned runs in a 13-5 loss. Baltimore is winless in Miley’s past three outings, but his last victory came at Boston on August 27 in a 2-1 triumph as a +140 underdog.

Biggest OVER run: Tigers (11-5 last 16)
Detroit gutted its roster over the last two months and aren’t playing for anything, as its pitching has suffered of late. The Tigers have lost each of the first two games against the Athletics, while giving up 17 runs in those defeats. For the exception of a 12-0 shutout over the White Sox on Sunday, Detroit pitching has been tagged for at least eight runs in four of the past six games. Anibal Sanchez takes the mound in the series finale against Oakland, as the OVER is 5-1 in the right-hander’s past six starts.

Biggest UNDER run: Pirates (10-1 last 11)
We outlined Pittsburgh’s offensive ineptness above, as the Pirates cashed their eighth UNDER in the last 10 matchups with the Brewers. In their last four home contests, Pittsburgh has scored a total of two runs, while getting shut out three times. Only twice in last 14 games have the Pirates plated four runs or more, which actually came in the two only two wins in this span. The Bucs have cashed the UNDER in three of their past four home series finales, while trying to avoid their third sweep at PNC Park this season.

Matchup to watch: Indians vs. Angels
Cleveland won for the 25th time in the last 26 games in Tuesday’s 6-3 triumph at Los Angeles to kick off its six-game road trip. The Indians last dropped a road contest one month ago in a 7-4 defeat at Kansas City on August 20, while extending their away winning streak to 12 last night. With the victory, Cleveland stayed 1½ games ahead of Houston for the top record in the American League.

The Angels remained 1 ½ games behind the Twins for the second Wild Card spot in the AL after Minnesota lost at New York last night. Ricky Nolasco is winless in his last five starts for the Angels, while coming off a home loss to the Astros in his previous appearance, even though he allowed four hits and two earned runs in six innings of work. Nolasco suffered a loss to the Indians the last time he faced them in late July, 10-4, but turned in a quality start by giving up three earned runs in 6.2 innings.

Josh Tomlin counters for Cleveland as the Indians own a 6-1 record in his past seven starts. Although Tomlin won his last road start at Detroit, the Indians have slumped to a 2-5 record in his last seven outings away from Progressive Field. Cleveland has won all four meetings with Los Angeles, while winning nine consecutive matchups with the Angels since last June.

Betcha didn’t know:
The Mariners are slumping at the wrong time by losing four straight games, including last night’s series opener to the Rangers. Andrew Cashner heads to the hill for Texas tonight as the right-hander has been straight money on the road. The Rangers are 4-0 in his past four away starts, while cashing as a +110, +185, +155, and +165 underdog in those outings, while opening as a +140 ‘dog opposite Felix Hernandez tonight.

Biggest public favorite: Astros (-290) vs. White Sox

Biggest public underdog: Royals (+100) at Blue Jays

Biggest line move: Padres (+134 to +128) vs. Diamondbacks

MLB Betting Picks & Tips

Oakland (-125) at Detroit; Total: 10
I’m really torn on this game. For one thing, Daniel Mengden should not be a -125 road favorite over anybody. For another thing, the A’s are heading home after a long road trip and the road finale is usually a fade spot. But, as I’ve talked about, I’m looking to fade the Tigers in day games with how little they are invested in the rest of the season. I’m also not a big believer in Anibal Sanchez and neither is the rest of the market given this line.

This line just feels completely off to me. Mengden is coming off of easily his best start as a Major League with a complete game shutout in Philadelphia. With nine shutout innings, Mengden lowered his career ERA to 5.97 in 95 innings of work. He has a 4.60 FIP and a 4.58 xFIP in those 18 starts. He hasn’t walked a lot of batters, but he hasn’t missed very many bats either. He’s fortunate to be living on a .221 BABIP against, which is a byproduct of allowing five home runs out of 20 hits in 23 innings of work. He doesn’t have an extreme fly ball split or anything that would support a low BABIP, so there’s regression coming in that area. I don’t know if it will happen today with the Tigers in a day game, but Mengden is not a guy that I am excited to back moving forward.

Anibal Sanchez is terrible. I’m not going to disagree with anybody that says that. He has a 7.03 ERA with a 6.00 FIP and a 4.53 xFIP. He’s worked just 88.1 innings this season. The Tigers are going to decline his option, so he will be a free agent at the end of the year. There is a lot of incentive for him to put together some good starts here at the end. He struck out 11 over six innings last time out against the White Sox, but he hadn’t had a good start since early August prior to that one. It’s tough to figure out what, exactly, we will be getting from Sanchez here. He’s given up 26 HR in 88.1 innings of work, which isn’t good against a launch-angle-crazed Oakland team.

Still, I have to take a stab on the Tigers as a plus money dog in what truly amounts to a getaway day game for Oakland. Mengden had an out-of-body experience last time out and has clear signs of regression. Sanchez is awful, but how invested will Oakland be today? I don’t expect either team to be invested, but Sanchez has some incentive and the Tigers have been using some more young players down the stretch run.

Kansas City at Toronto (-120); Total: 9.5
Jake Junis is going to be a fixture in that Kansas City rotation going forward. Brett Anderson will hope to be a fixture in somebody’s rotation if his body allows him to be a part of the team every five days. I’m not surprised to see that the sharp side in early betting looks to be the Royals. Junis is a guy that I have touted in the past that has better stuff than his stat line would indicate.

Junis has a 4.15 ERA with a 4.45 FIP and a 4.69 xFIP, but you have to consider what he has done since he returned to the Royals. Junis was recalled for good on August 6. In that span of 44.1 innings, he has a 38/4 K/BB ratio with a 3.05/2.79/3.85 pitcher slash. He’s done a good job of keeping the ball in the park and has shown excellent control. It’s fair to wonder what his long-term projections look like and he more often than not winds up being a low-end #3 starter or a quality #4 starter, but the market has taken notice of what I have been seeing.

It has been a long and winding road for Brett Anderson. Since 2009, Anderson has only managed to stay healthy enough to work 729.2 MLB innings. He was awful in six starts with the Cubs and spent some time without a home until Toronto offered to give him a shot. He has a 3.27/4.11/3.80 in his four starts and 22 innings with the Blue Jays. He’s thrown a lot of strikes and has done a decent job of inducing weak contact. I certainly understand the market’s hesitance to back him, since he hasn’t been reliable since his 2015 season with the Dodgers. He’s also battling a blister issue, so there’s some uncertainty with that as well.

I like both of these guys in this spot, to be honest. I’d be looking to play under the 9.5 total. Junis and Anderson both throw a lot of strikes and these are two decent defensive teams. I have a slight lean to the Blue Jays in this spot. The Royals looked pretty disinterested in Cleveland, with some fielding miscues and a lot of laziness from the position players on tougher balls to field. Maybe that was just a phase, but it didn’t impress me, as the team knows its competitive window has slammed shut.

Chicago (-130) at Tampa Bay; Total: 8
It was good to see Chris Archer get back on track, but the Rays have had an inept offense for the better part of two months and it was on display again on Tuesday in a 2-1 loss. Things don’t easier today, as Jon Lester takes his turn in the rotation for the Cubs. He’ll be opposed by Blake Snell.

Lester has seen a 16.8 percent drop in his LOB% this season, which means that he has a 4.30 ERA just one season after posting a 2.44 ERA. His FIP and xFIP are also higher, so it hasn’t just been the LOB% regression. There’s more to it than that, as the Cubs defense has fallen off the pace a bit and Lester has allowed more home runs. In fact, Lester has the highest HR/FB% of his career. I don’t think that will be a problem at Tropicana Field, though. The ball doesn’t carry as well here as it does in other parks. Furthermore, the Rays are in the bottom five in wOBA against LHP and lead the league in K% against LHP. The one benefit for Lester this season is that he has maintained a high strikeout rate again this season with 169 in his 165.1 innings of work. I think he shuts down the Rays lineup.

The question then becomes how well the Cubs fare with Blake Snell. Snell has a 4.25 ERA with a 4.36 FIP and a 4.74 xFIP in his 114.1 innings of work. The erratic left-hander is a very high-variance pitcher. He doesn’t allow a lot of hard contact because his stuff moves a ton, but his control and command are both worrisome. He’s walked 52 and only struck out 100 this season, so he hasn’t missed as many bats as he did last year. Snell actually has a very respectable 3.75 ERA with a 3.72 FIP and a 4.20 xFIP in his last 11 starts. He has only issued 18 walks in that span against 55 strikeouts in 62.1 innings. He is getting better and is showing signs of developing.

Given the unfamiliar lefty angle and the fact that Snell may be on to something, I’ll take a shot at the under here. The Rays are a bad offensive ballclub overall and the Cubs haven’t been what most people expected entering this season.

Washington (-155) at Atlanta; Total: 9
Yep, I’m doing this again. We’re going to fade Gio Gonzalez. Gonzalez has a 2.68 ERA with a 3.87 FIP and a 4.21 xFIP. He has a .254 BABIP against and an 83.7 percent LOB%. His vesting option just vested for reaching 180 innings. He celebrated by allowing five runs on seven hits to the Braves over five innings. He struck out eight, but we saw that BABIP and LOB% regression. I’m betting on it again here. He’s had some extra downtime between starts, which may help him, but I don’t care. These stats and these regression possibilities are the hallmarks of my handicapping. I’m taking Atlanta today.

Cleveland (-120) at Los Angeles; Total: 8.5
The Indians just kept right on winning, which did surprise me a little bit. Most players say that the second game with a big time change is the tougher one, but I’m not sure if that carries over to when rosters have expanded. Angel Stadium is a very good venue for Josh Tomlin. It hasn’t been a good venue for Ricky Nolasco, but no venue seems to be.

Tomlin has allowed five earned runs across 16.1 innings since returning from the DL. Tomlin’s overall numbers aren’t great with a 5.04 ERA, a 4.13 FIP, and a 4.08 xFIP, but he’s shown his usual pristine control and throwing a lot of strikes often leads to giving up some home runs. Fortunately, he’s in a good park for suppressing power. The sample size is small and spread out, but Tomlin has only allowed three home runs over his last 40.2 innings of work. He’s a guy that constantly has to tweak and make adjustments. He’s talked this season about getting too cutter-dependent and he’s mixed up his arsenal a bit better of late.

Ricky Nolasco has a 5.11/5.23/4.75 pitcher slash on the season. Like Tomlin, he has allowed a lot of home runs, but he doesn’t have the great control to go along with it. Nolasco has allowed 34 HR this season. He’s pitched much better at home with a .266/.320/.441 slash against at home and a .296/.360/.578 slash against on the road. I think I’d wait around on this total and see if we can get a 9 with reasonable juice to pop and play the under. The Indians could be a little sluggish with that second game out west and I think this is a decent park for Tomlin to pitch in with that marine air knocking balls hit in the air down a little bit.
