4-unit Play. #225366. Competition: World Cup. Take Under 3.5 goals (-147) Germany vs. South Korea. (Wednesday @ 10:00 am est) (For this to Win, 3 or fewer goals can be scored, Regulation + Injury time)
Germany hold their faith in their own hands, much like Argentina, they need a win, but so does Sweden who face Mexico in the other Group F match. There are a lot of outcomes that could come into play, but a 1-0 win for Germany should be enough depending on the Mexico/Sweden match. A 1-0 Sweden win, a 1-0 Germany win, and Sweden, Mexico, and Germany will all be level on points and goal difference, discipline would decide the two teams who move to the knockout round and the red card for Germany in the last match does not help. Germany have played some of the best soccer of any of the teams in this World Cup, but have lacked the finishing skill to score at the level they are used to scoring at. We like Germany to win 2-0 and do enough to secure that knockout round place, as Mexico's speed, even with a second-string team will be difficult for Sweden to handle.

4-Unit Play. Take #9741-9742 Mexico/Sweden GAME TOTAL OVER 2 -160 (Wednesday, June 27th at 10:00 AM ET)
Take Mexico/Sweden GAME TOTAL OVER as my 4-Unit World Cup Smash for Wednesday morning. This pick falls into one of my top World Cup systems and I see a 2-1 type of game here Wednesday. Mexico is a very fast team who likes to press offensively and a win here would be huge for Mexico as they likely still will need points to move to the round of 16. Sweden will not be sitting back in this match as they will likely have to try to win by 2 goals to guarantee them a spot in the next round depending on what Germany does. Play the OVER.

3-Unit Play. Take #225362 Mexico (+130) over Sweden (10 a.m., Wednesday, June 27)
2-Unit Play. Take #225363 Draw (+230) Mexico/Sweden (10 a.m., Wednesday, June 27)

People have been sleeping on Mexico all tournament thus far. This country is playing outstanding team futbol. Mexico is playing with a moxy that many of the other "good" sides aren't playing with. Everyone expected Germany to win easy, they everyone expected Mexico to let down, and its not happening. Sweden is a strong side that an play defensive soccer, which will be tough for Mexico to break down, which is why there is also value on the draw. Look for El Tri to grab a win here or at worst salvage a draw and advance.

4-Unit Play. Take #225374 Switzerland (-140) over Costa Rica (2 p.m., Wednesday, June 27)
3-Unit Play. Take #225375 Draw (+230) Switzerland/Costa Rica (2 p.m., Wednesday, June 27)
3-Unit Play. Take 'Under' 2.5 (-140) Switzerland/Costa Rica (2 p.m., Wednesday, June 27)

This should be one of the more unexciting matches we have seen as of late. Costa Rica has been eliminated while the Swiss move on with a draw. Yes, a victory could see Switzerland find themselves on the top of the table, but their defensive-minded style of play will keep this below the posted total. This match has 1-0 or 0-0 written all over it. Los Ticos are struggling to find the back of the net and that will seem an impossible task against the Swiss. In the end we see a 1-0 Swiss victory, but there is value on the draw as well.

Wednesday's Diamond Notes
Tony Mejia

Hottest team: Reds (8-1, +885 last 9)

There's competition for these bragging rights, but the team that plays the earliest start of the day must be recognized. Cincinnati is looking for a road series victory for only the third time all season, but must overcome lefty Sean Newcomb (8-2, 2.59 ERA), who has won eight of 10 decisions. Luis Castillo (5-8, 5.70) will start for a Reds (+130) squad looking for an upset.

Coldest team: Tigers (0-7 last 7)

Detroit led Oakland 6-0 after three innings, but failed to snap its losing streak when the A's scored the final six runs in a 9-7 win on Tuesday. Jed Lowrie went 4-for-4 and homered as Detroit squandered a game in which every starter except Victor Martinez managed a hit. Mike Fiers will look to stop the bleeding and help his team avoid a third straight series loss. The Tigers have been outscored 54-21 during this latest stretch of defeats that is their longest losing streak of the season.

Hottest pitcher: Kyle Freeland, Rockies (7-6, 3.55 ERA)

The Giants send Madison Bumgarner to the mound following his first victory, but the Rockies (+135) may be a live 'dog if Freeland continues his excellent work. The Denver native is 6-2 since the beginning of May, which includes allowing just one run in 6.2 IP in a 6-1 win at AT&T Park on May 18. He's 2-2 against San Francisco over his career but has had a rough time against a number of Giants hitters. Buster Posey, Joe Panik, Gorkys Hernandez and Nick Hundley are hitting a combined .396 with three home runs against him.

Coldest pitcher: Alex Cobb, Orioles (2-9, 6.56 ERA)

Cobb comes off his best outing of the season, working seven innings and allowing just one run in Atlanta. Despite this, he still couldn't get the win and must prove he can overcome throwing a season-high 107 pitches. He'll be facing the Mariners for the first time since joining the Birds but has been hit hard by Nelson Cruz, Denard Span, Mike Zunino and Ben Gamel, who come in a combined 15-for-37 (.405) with two homers and 9 RBI. Cobb is 0-4 with a 5.92 ERA at Camden Yards, which explains why the Mariners (-115) are a road favorite in the third of a four-game set, having already won the first two after rallying to prevail once again on Tuesday night.

Biggest OVER run: White Sox (7-0 last seven)

Following Tuesday's 8-4 win, Chicago has seen the high-side prevail in each of its games since June 19. The run started in Cleveland, continued in Oakland through a four-game set that included a doubleheader and now continues on with the Twins in town. White Sox righty James Shields (2-9, 4.59 ERA) has won only one decision since a 14-7 victory on Opening Day and comes off an 11-2 home loss to Oakland last Friday in his latest start. He gave up a season-worst three homers against Milwaukee and Minnesota to open June but has pitched in just three games that have gone over the posted total in his last dozen outings. The Twins counter with Kyle Gibson, who has surrendered more than three earned runs in only one of his last 11 starts but has just one win to show for it. The total has been set at 9.

Biggest UNDER run: Yankees (19-2 last 21)

Luis Severino became the first pitcher in the big leagues to 12 wins this season after blanking the Phillies over seven innings on Tuesday. New York won 6-0 and has overcome its bats going silent for much of the month thanks to fantastic pitching. Mexican righty Luis Cessa will make his first start of the season to give their regulars an extra day of rest entering this weekend's huge series against the Red Sox. Yankees manager Aaron Boone is hopeful he can throw 70-80 pitches now that he's healthy. Cessa has pitched in four games out of the bullpen this season and will make his 15th career start. He only made it through five innings in one of his five starts last year and hasn't won a game in this role since Aug. 26, 2016, coming up empty in his last 11 starts. Despite this, New York (-130) is favored. Philadelphia will look to avoid being swept in the Bronx behind a resurgent Zach Eflin (5-2, 3.44), who is 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA in June. Giancarlo Stanton homered against him despite only three career at-bats while with Miami. Cessa has never faced any of the Phils in the majors. The total has been set at 9.

Matchup to watch: Indians vs. Cardinals

Following seven straight wins in which they outscored the Twins, White Sox and Tigers by a collective margin of 54-9, the visiting Indians have seen their hot streak drenched by a bucket of cold water in St. Louis. After being shut out by the unheralded John Gant on Monday, the Tribe saw ace Corey Kluber fail to get out of the second inning in an 11-2 loss as St. Louis (+150) cashed in on their most lucrative upset of the season.

The Cardinals will now look to sweep Cleveland in order to triumph in a fifth straight game, which would match a season-long winning streak that they've managed to record on two occasions. Atlanta comes into town Thursday for the final home games the Cards will play until just before the All-Star break. Including today's series finale, St. Louis will play only seven of 24 games at New Busch Stadium.

After their rout of the Kluber-led Tribe and losses from the Dodgers and Phillies, the Cardinals have moved into a tie for the N.L.'s second wild card approaching the regular season's halfway point. 22-year-old standout Jack Flaherty (3-2, 2.50) is coming off his second 13-strikeout effort in a span of seven starts. His team is 5-2 in his last seven and he's given up more than one run only three times in 10 starts this season. The Cards have won four of the five games he's started at home in 2018. This will be his second career interleague start.

The Indians counter with rookie Shane Bieber (2-0, 2.45), who became the first Tribe pitcher since 1964 to strike out at least six hitters in his first three career starts. He shut out Detroit over seven innings last time out, striking out nine batters. This will be just his second road start. Bieber struggled in the first outing, surrendering two home runs in Minnesota on May 31. The Cards (-110) are slightly favored to pull off the sweep. The total has been set at 8.5.

Betcha didn’t know: With the Dodgers and Giants playing well, the Diamondbacks are going to have to step it up in order to hold on to the NL West lead as the All-Star approaches. The Snakes get a huge boost on Wednesday night with lefty Robbie Ray (2-0, 4.88) returning to pitch for the first time since April 29 after pain in his oblique. Having just gotten Shelby Miller back, Arizona is approaching full strength and held Ray out of a scheduled final rehab start in Reno on Monday in order to throw him out there this evening. Ray struck out nine hitters and allowed three hits and one earned run in 4.1 innings on June 19, throwing 66 pitches and topping out at 94 on his fastest pitch. It doesn't sound like you can count on him to work too deep into this one since he'll be on a pitch count of 80-85 pitches. Ray is 1-2 with a 3.06 ERA in three career starts against Miami.

Biggest public favorite: Diamondbacks (-160) at Marlins

Biggest public underdog: Phillies (+115) vs. Yankees

Biggest line move: Blue Jays (+215 to +180) at Astros

Preview: Reds at Braves
Gracenote
Jun 27, 2018

One of the biggest reasons the Cincinnati Reds are playing so well entering Wednesday’s series finale at the Atlanta Braves is their starting pitching, which has put together an impressive run of late. Matt Harvey authored the latest strong performance by a Reds starter in helping deliver Cincinnati's eighth victory in its past nine games by allowing one run in 6 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s 5-3 victory, and in that stretch Reds starters are 7-0 with a 3.38 ERA.

The second basemen for both teams, who figure to represent the National League in next month’s All-Star game, continue their strong first halves. Cincinnati’s Scooter Gennett, who entered Tuesday leading the National League in hitting, finished 2-for-3 with two walks and three runs scored and brings a .334 average into the series finale. Atlanta’s Ozzie Albies extended his hitting streak to eight games and is batting .459 during that span after going 2-for-4 on Tuesday. The Braves have struggled to drive home baserunners through the first five games of their six-game homestand, hitting just .230 with runners in scoring position and leaving 51 runners on base in losing three of five.

TV: 12:10 p.m. ET, FS Ohio (Cincinnati), FS South (Atlanta)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Luis Castillo (5-8, 5.70 ERA) vs. Braves LH Sean Newcomb (8-2, 2.59)

Castillo snapped a four-start losing streak Friday against the Cubs, giving up three runs on four hits with one walk and five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings for his first victory since May 24. The 25-year-old came into Tuesday leading the National League in homers allowed (18) and second in earned runs (53), but posted a 2.78 ERA while going 3-0 in a four-start stretch before his losing streak. Castillo lost in his only career appearance against Atlanta, giving up two runs with eight strikeouts in four innings on Aug. 20 last season.

Newcomb looks to bolster his All-Star hopes and he has rebounded from his second loss of the season June 10 with two solid performances. He shut out San Diego for six innings with seven strikeouts and one walk on June 16 and followed up Friday against Baltimore by allowing one run on five hits in seven innings in a no-decision, the eighth time in 15 starts Newcomb has allowed one earned run or fewer. The 25-year-old, who ranked fourth in the NL in wins and sixth in ERA through Monday’s games, gave up four runs in six innings in a no-decision against the Reds on April 26.

WALK-OFFS

1. Atlanta relievers issued just 29 walks in 97 2/3 innings in May, but they've walked 35 in 81 2/3 innings so far in June.

2. Cincinnati LHP Amir Garrett, who was unavailable Monday after pitching four times in the previous five games, left Tuesday’s game after taking a line drive off his left leg (X-rays were negative).

3. Atlanta is hoping to activate closer Arodys Vizcaino (right shoulder inflammation) from the disabled list Sunday at St. Louis, according to published reports.

Preview: Royals at Brewers
Gracenote
Jun 27, 2018

The Milwaukee Brewers' pitching staff has joined the masses in dominating the Kansas City Royals' meager lineup. The Brewers will try to improve to 4-0 this season against the visiting Royals when the teams complete a two-game interleague series Wednesday afternoon.

Freddy Peralta allowed one hit and struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings to lead Milwaukee to a 5-1 win in the opener, giving them a 16-5 advantage on the scoreboard through the first three meetings between the teams. Adalberto Mondesi's solo homer in the eighth allowed the Royals to avoid the shutout loss, but they've been held to three runs or fewer in eight consecutive games. Christian Yelich, Jesus Aguilar and Ryan Braun each homered to lead Milwaukee, which is 39-11 in games when it hits at least one home run. Brent Suter will try to take advantage of Kansas City's prolonged slump when he matches up with Danny Duffy in a battle of southpaws Wednesday.

TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, FB-Watch

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals LH Danny Duffy (3-7, 5.18 ERA) vs. Brewers LH Brent Suter (8-4, 4.15)

Since seeing his ERA soar to 6.88 after a rocky effort against the New York Yankees on May 19, Duffy has gone 2-1 with a 2.87 ERA in six starts. Two of the last three have been of the scoreless variety, including six dominant innings at Houston on Friday. The 29-year-old, who is making his first career start against Milwaukee, is 6-4 with a 3.18 ERA lifetime in interleague action.

Suter won three straight starts and six of his last seven after limiting the St. Louis Cardinals to two runs over seven innings Thursday. That marked the second straight time he completed seven frames after failing to finish even six in his first 12 starts. The Harvard University product is 9-3 with a 3.71 ERA in his career at Miller Park.

WALK-OFFS

1. Brewers CF Lorenzo Cain (groin) was placed on the 10-day disabled list.

2. Aguilar has six homers in his last nine games.

3. Royals C Salvador Perez is 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over the past two contests to drop his average to .214.

Preview: Blue Jays at Astros
Gracenote
Jun 27, 2018

Alex Bregman aims to continue his power-filled month when the Houston Astros conclude their three-game series on against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. Bregman is 6-for-9 with two homers in the set and matched his career high of four hits on Tuesday as Houston rolled to a 7-0 victory.

Bregman has recorded eight homers and 24 RBIs in June and shared the hero's role with Jake Marisnick as the part-time starter made a stellar defensive catch and later belted a two-run homer. "The biggest thing is not to use it as an excuse," the .187-hitting Marisnick said in a postgame television interview of his platoon role. "Using that as motivation, 'Hey, I want to be an everyday player.' Stay positive with yourself is the biggest thing." Toronto recorded just five hits while being blanked on Tuesday as the lineup combined for 15 strikeouts, including three apiece for Curtis Granderson and Teoscar Hernandez. The Blue Jays had their three-game road winning streak halted, falling to 3-3 on a seven-game trip that concludes Wednesday.

TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, Sportsnet (Toronto), AT&T SportsNet-Southwest (Houston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Marco Estrada (4-7, 4.48 ERA) vs. Astros LH Dallas Keuchel (4-8, 3.90)

Estrada was a hard-luck loser in his last outing as he gave up two runs and three hits over seven innings against the Los Angeles Angels. The 34-year-old has put together four consecutive solid efforts, going 2-1 with a 1.75 ERA during the stretch. Estrada is 2-0 with a 2.96 ERA in 12 career appearances (six starts) against Houston and has experienced issues with Brian McCann (10-for-33).

Keuchel settled for a no-decision against Kansas City in his last turn, when he scattered six hits over six scoreless innings. The 30-year-old hasn't allowed an earned run over 12 innings in his last two turns after giving up 16 in as many frames over his previous three outings. Keuchel is 3-0 with a 3.62 ERA in four career starts against the Blue Jays and has dominated Steve Pearce (2-for-17, homer, 10 strikeouts) and Justin Smoak (1-for-9).

WALK-OFFS

1. Astros OF George Springer is 1-for-10 in the series and 4-for-45 over his last 11 games.

2. Toronto 3B Josh Donaldson (calf) suffered a setback Tuesday prior to a scheduled rehab game and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

3. Houston SS Carlos Correa (back) was held out of Tuesday's contest but is expected back for the finale.

PREDICTION: Astros 5, Blue Jays 3
