The Texas Rangers look to take this three game set with the Mets today. The Rangers won on Saturday as a nice little dog with Perez, 7-3. Today they send Jon Gray to the hill. Gray is 4-3 in his 13 starts with a 3.89 ERA. Gray has been very good, allowing two runs or fewer in four straight games and five of his last six games. He has also won three straight starts, allowing three total runs over 19 2/3 innings. The Mets dropped to 48-30 with their loss on Saturday and have the NL's second best record behind the Dodgers. Carlos Carrasco will start today with a 8-4 record in 15 starts and a 4.74 ERA. Carrasco coming off a pair of bad starts where he allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings to the Astros and five runs in 2 1/3 innings to the Astros. I look at Gray as a very live dog here today in New York. Play Texas.

The St Louis Cardinals are just one-game back of the Milwaukee Brewers now in the NL Central after their win over the Phils on Saturday, 7-6. The Cards are just 3-8 in their last 11 road games and 5-13 in their last 18 on the road vs a team with a winning record. Adam Wainwright will get the start here today for the Cardinals. Wainwright is 6-5 in his 15 starts with a 3.07 ERA. Philly looks to take this three game set as they send Zack Wheeler to the hill. Wheeler is 6-4 in his 14 starts with a 2.89 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 4-2 record in eight starts and a 1.85 ERA. The Phillies have won nine of the last 13 in this series and six of the last eight in Philly. I'll take the home team here tonight. Play Philadelphia.

The Baltimore Orioles look to snap a 4-game losing streak and sweep by the Twins here today in Minnesota. The O's are 35-44 in the AL East and their season is over in such a competitive conference. However, they will continue to give it their all. Tyler Wells is 6-4 for the O's with a nice 3.23 ERA. He's been a bright spot for this club, allowing just two runs over his last three starts (16 innings). In fact, if you toss out his opening day start where he allowed four runs, he has allow over three runs in any of the next 14 starts. The O's have been a good under team too, going 2-10 O/U in their last 12 games. The Twins continue to hold onto 1st in the AL Central, though Cleveland has closed to 3-games back. Devin Smeltzer will start for the Twins with a 4-1 record in nine starts and a 2.86 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 2-0 record in four starts and a 1.50 ERA. Five of the last seven in this series have gone under and that's what I expect here today. Play UNDER.
