Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers — Betts’ Slam, Snell’s Punch-Out Parade Bury Rockies

The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a dominating sweep of the Colorado Rockies behind a 9-0 shutout fueled by Blake Snell’s six scoreless innings and Mookie Betts’ grand slam, his 18th homer of the season. The Dodgers allowed just three runs over the entire series while moving three games ahead in the NL West.

Snell was brilliant, striking out 11 while surrendering only two hits. Betts, who has now recorded multi-RBI games in five straight, led an offense that produced 17 strikeouts from the pitching staff and 12 hits at the plate. Teoscar Hernández added his 24th homer, and LA buried the Rockies early with a four-run second inning.

This was a premium play by all three top handicappers — Scott’s Picks, James Acker, and Neal Harris — who each locked in on Dodgers Money Line or -1½ spread and cashed in on a wire-to-wire cover.

Kansas City Royals vs. Cleveland Guardians — Royals Break Through Late to Snap Cleveland Streak

The Kansas City Royals used a clutch rally in the seventh inning to break a three-game losing streak and beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-3, ending Cleveland’s five-game winning run in the process. Pinch hitter Nick Loftin tied the game with a single before scoring on Maikel Garcia’s go-ahead double.

Luinder Avila picked up his first MLB win, and Carlos Estevez earned his league-leading 39th save. Cleveland’s bullpen faltered in the late innings despite an early lead behind Bo Naylor’s RBI single. Logan Allen tossed five steady innings, but the Guardians couldn’t hold on.

Interestingly, this game was a split field for the handicappers. Scott’s Picks backed Royals +1½, while both James Acker and Neal Harris took Royals ML -105, resulting in a win for all three.

Boston Red Sox vs. Oakland Athletics — Butler Walks It Off to Snap A’s Losing Skid

In one of the night’s most dramatic finishes, the Oakland Athletics avoided a sweep with a ninth-inning rally capped by Lawrence Butler’s walk-off single, toppling the Boston Red Sox 5-4 in West Sacramento. The A’s snapped a three-game skid while knocking Boston out of the win column after three straight victories.

Home runs from Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz got Oakland going early, but it was Butler’s single that sent the home crowd into a frenzy. Rob Refsnyder had tied it in the top of the ninth for Boston with an RBI double before Aroldis Chapman’s shaky outing opened the door.

Scott’s Picks and James Acker both grabbed Athletics ML +115, a sharp underdog call that delivered high value.

Seattle Mariners vs. St. Louis Cardinals — Rivas’ Walk-Off Homer Caps 13-Inning Epic

The Seattle Mariners refused to quit — and they didn’t have to. Leo Rivas sent the home crowd into chaos with a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 13th, lifting Seattle to a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was Seattle’s fifth straight win and kept them alive in the AL playoff hunt.

Jorge Polanco tied the game with an RBI double in the 11th after the Cards had grabbed a lead, and the game stayed knotted until Rivas’ big fly off Ryan Fernandez. Seattle’s bullpen, particularly Emerson Hancock, was stellar in extras.

Another sharp read from Scott’s Picks, who backed Mariners ML -222, showing trust in a hot team playing must-win baseball.

Chicago Cubs vs. Atlanta Braves — Cubs Claim Season Series with Tight Win in Atlanta

The Chicago Cubs edged out the Atlanta Braves 3-2 behind Nico Hoerner’s three-hit, two-steal performance and a rock-solid bullpen that locked things down late. The win marked Chicago’s first season series win over Atlanta since 2017, a major milestone as the Cubs battle for October positioning.

Jameson Taillon pitched into the fifth before the bullpen took over and tossed 4 2/3 shutout innings, capped by Andrew Kittredge’s perfect ninth for his third save. Hoerner’s speed helped generate the game-winning run, scoring on Seiya Suzuki’s sac fly.

James Acker correctly targeted this game with Under 8½ (-118) — reading the matchup between Taillon and Chris Sale perfectly. The Cubs’ bullpen and timely defense helped that total stay under with ease.

Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees — Tigers Stay Hot, Humiliate Yankees Again in the Bronx

The Detroit Tigers rolled over the New York Yankees for the second straight night with an 11-1 beatdown fueled by Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter home runs in a five-run eighth. Jack Flaherty cruised through five shutout innings and the Tigers’ offense stayed scorching.

Greene’s 33rd homer, Carpenter’s pinch-hit blast, and Colt Keith’s late shot all contributed to an avalanche of Bronx embarrassment. Detroit has now won four of five vs. New York and is firmly in control of the AL Central.

Although not involved in a top play from the featured handicappers, this game highlighted how fade-the-Yankees is becoming a recurring theme as the Tigers dominate this matchup.

Miami Marlins vs. Washington Nationals — Edwards, Marsee Lead Comeback to End Nats’ Streak

The Miami Marlins finally got back in the win column against the Washington Nationals, snapping a five-game skid against their division rivals with an 8-3 comeback win. Xavier Edwards hit a three-run homer and scored three runs, while rookie Jakob Marsee collected four hits.

The game turned in a controversial sixth inning after a tag play led to the ejections of Nationals starter Jake Irvin and interim manager Miguel Cairo. Miami pounced after that, scoring four runs and never looking back.

Scott’s Picks and Neal Harris were both on this one — Scott nailed Marlins -1½ (+130) and Neal hit the Money Line at -152. A sharp read on Miami’s overdue bounce-back at home.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Houston Astros — Diaz Delivers Late Blast as Astros Steal Win

Just when it looked like the Toronto Blue Jays might pull off another late-game rally, Yainer Diaz turned the tables with a go-ahead homer in the ninth to lift the Houston Astros to a 3-2 win. Diaz also doubled in the game’s first run, giving him a two-RBI night that proved the difference.

Jason Alexander was excellent across seven innings, and Bryan Abreu locked down his fifth save. The win pulled Houston back into the thick of the AL West chase while preventing a series loss to a Toronto team that had all the momentum.

This game was not featured in the top 3 handicappers’ picks, but the clutch late blast and solid pitching made it a must-watch, especially with October looming.

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres — Reds Rally Late to Tighten Wild Card Race

The Cincinnati Reds are clawing for a Wild Card, and Andrew Abbott made sure they didn’t slip behind. He threw eight sharp innings, allowing just one run as the Reds came from behind to edge the San Diego Padres 2-1. Elly De La Cruz tied it in the eighth with an RBI single before scoring the game-winner.

With bullpen options depleted, the Padres had to turn to Kyle Hart and Adrian Morejon in high-leverage spots, and the Reds made them pay. Abbott finally snapped a five-start losing streak, and Cincinnati pulled within two games of the Mets in the Wild Card standings.

While this game wasn’t selected by a top capper, it had playoff stakes written all over it — and the value on a hot Abbott was likely on many sharp radars.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Pittsburgh Pirates — Beavers Walks It Off Again in Extra-Inning Magic

The Baltimore Orioles are living for the moment — and living off walk-offs. Rookie Dylan Beavers delivered a game-winning single in the 10th, giving Baltimore its fourth walk-off win in five games, this time over the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1.

Paul Skenes was dominant for Pittsburgh, throwing five shutout innings and surpassing the 200-strikeout mark, but the Pirates couldn’t cash in on their limited chances. Baltimore’s bullpen allowed just two hits all night in another gritty win.

This was a game where momentum betting favored Baltimore, and recent form once again delivered.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Texas Rangers — Burger, Kelly Spark Rangers’ Sweep of First-Place Brewers

The Texas Rangers stayed red-hot, sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers with a 6-3 win behind Jake Burger’s two-homer, three-RBI day and a quality start from Merrill Kelly. The Rangers are now just one game out of the Wild Card and 2.5 back in the AL West.

Milwaukee jumped ahead 2-0 in the first with back-to-back homers, but the Rangers responded with a five-run surge powered by Burger’s second homer in the fifth. Peralta’s 29-inning scoreless streak came to a screeching halt, and Kelly held firm as the Rangers kept climbing.

A key game for playoff futures bettors and one that shows Texas is not backing down.

New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies — Kepler’s Five-RBI Explosion Lifts Phillies to Rout

Max Kepler erupted for five RBIs, including a homer, as the Philadelphia Phillies pounded the New York Mets 11-3 to take command of the series. Cristopher Sanchez pitched six innings of one-run ball, and the Phillies’ offense stayed in cruise control.

Bryce Harper and Juan Soto traded solo homers in a game that had little defensive resistance. Philly improved to 86-60, pushing 10 games ahead of the Mets in the NL East.

This game blew past projections — with overs and Phillies run lines likely cashing across the board.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants — Rodriguez Silences Giants as D-backs Salvage Series Finale

Eduardo Rodriguez was in full control as the Arizona Diamondbacks avoided a sweep with a 5-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants. The veteran lefty threw 6 1/3 shutout innings, allowing just two hits and striking out six in his third straight win.

Geraldo Perdomo ignited the offense with a leadoff homer and later added an RBI single to chase Giants starter Carson Seymour early. Arizona built a 5-0 lead before holding off a late San Francisco rally that included a two-run double by Rafael Devers in the eighth.

Scott’s Picks hit this one with a sharp Under 8½ (-110) selection, banking on Rodriguez’s current form and the Giants’ inconsistency — a call that hit cleanly despite late scoring.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Chicago White Sox — Chicago’s Big Second Inning Holds Off Rays Comeback

The Chicago White Sox jumped all over the Tampa Bay Rays with a five-run second inning powered by doubles from Mike Tauchman and Lenyn Sosa, then held off a late Rays rally to win 6-5 and even the series.

Andrew Benintendi added a solo homer and Tyler Gilbert recorded his first career save by striking out Brandon Lowe with two runners on in the ninth. Despite multiple homers from the Rays, including Junior Caminero’s 42nd, Tampa couldn’t complete the comeback and now sits 5.5 games out of the Wild Card race.

This one was cleanly predicted by Neal Harris, who nailed the Over 8½ (-105) — a pick that hit midway through the game as the teams combined for five runs in the first three innings.

Minnesota Twins vs. Los Angeles Angels — Trout’s Sac Fly Lifts Angels in Rubber Match Thriller

Mike Trout drove in the go-ahead run with a sac fly in the eighth to lift the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins in the series finale. Trout also had an RBI single earlier in the game as LA took the series two games to one.

Zach Neto launched his 26th homer and Robert Stephenson picked up the win in relief, with Kenley Jansen locking down his 27th save. Byron Buxton homered for Minnesota, who rallied to tie the game in the sixth before falling behind again late.

This one wasn’t featured in the top cappers’ picks but closed out a strong homestand for an Angels team playing spoiler with nothing to lose.
