This is a 5* play on over 2.5.

The LA Galaxy are coming off consecutive losses, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic didn't score in either of those two matches (at Columbus and at home versus NYFC). Zlatan isn't often held off the score sheet, he's scored nine goals in 10 matches so far this season. He will start against a Colorado team that has conceded 30 goals in 11 matches this season. The Rapid have a stranglehold in last place in the Western Conference, with a record of 0-2-9. I can't see Colorado earning any points here on the road against an LA team coming off back to back losses. Look for the Galaxy to win big.

Take Over.

This is an 8* play on the SD Padres.

The Padres have lost two of three in this home series versus Pittsburgh, but I like the home team in the finale on Sunday.

Cal Quantrill will toe the slab for San Diego, and the rookie has looked promising so far. Quantrill (0-1, 3.60 ERA) will face a Pittsburgh team that ranks just 28th in the majors in runs scored.

The Pirates hand the ball to Joe Musgrove, who has just one win in his last seven starts. The right-hander is 1-3 with a 3.09 ERA in six appearances on the road this season.

Manny Machado is 3-for-6 lifetime versus Musgrove.

Take SD.

This is an 8* play on the LAA.

The Angels come into Game 3 of this home series versus Kansas City gunning for a sweep.

Tyler Skaggs will toe the slab for the Halos, and he's been great at home. Skaggs (4-3, 5.05 ERA) allowed four runs on five hits in five innings in a 5-4 win at Minnesota his last time out. He's 2-0 with a 2.19 ERA in two home starts.

The Royals hand the ball to Danny Duffy, who makes just his fifth appearance of the season. Duffy (2-1, 3.97 ERA) allowed four runs on seven hits in five innings in a home win over Texas his last time out. He allowed three runs on five hits in five innings in a home loss to LAA in his season debut.

It was only a few years ago that the Royals had the best bullpen in baseball, but they rank 25th in the majors in ERA by relief pitcher. The Angels rank in the top 10 in that category.

Take LAA.

This is a 7* play on the Arizona Wildcats.

After taking two of three games in a home series versus Pittsburgh, the D'Backs shutout San Francisco 7-0 in Game 1 at Chase Field.

Robbie Ray will toe the slab for Arizona on Sunday, and he's coming off a dominant performance. Ray (3-1, 3.14 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on six hits in five innings in a 9-3 win over Pittsburgh his last time out. He's 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in three home starts.

The Giants hand the ball to Drew Pomeranz, who got the hook in the second inning in his last start. He was torched for seven runs on nine hits in just 1 2/3 innings in a loss to Cincinnati.

He's 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in four road starts.

Take ARI.
