Here are a few plays that I like on Monday along with my reasoning behind each one:
LAA -108 - 1*

Pitt -132 - 1*
(Guzman & Snell)

Pirates are 10-2 in their last 12 home games vs. a right-handed starter.
Pirates are 3-0 in Snell's last 3 starts.
Pirates are 4-1 in their last 5 during game 1 of a series.
Baseball is such a tricky game to cap. I really believe that any team can win any game on any given night. That's why most of my plays are usually for 1 unit. No baseball game is worth much more than that IMO. Good luck with your plays.
