This is a play on the MINNESOTA TWINS as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. The Yankees handed Minnesota a 14-1 loss in this series opener, the first meeting since they defeated the Twins in the A.L. Wild Card last season. New York is starting to get the offense grooving as it has scored 28 runs during its three-game winning streak but the pitching should be overshadowed as they have allowed only three runs to improve to 12-9 on the season. Minnesota has lost four straight games to fall under .500 for the first time since losing opening Day. The pitching has been atrocious as the Twins have allowed 40 runs during this recent skid, but they turn to their ace tonight to put an end to the bleeding. Jose Berrios takes the hill for his fifth start and he has been sensational as he has a 1.63 ERA and 0.58 WHIP through four starts. He had a poor outing against Seattle, but his other three starts resulted in no runs allowed over 23 innings. He faced the Yankees twice last season and allowed just four runs in 10 innings. C.C. Sabathia continues to pitch well as he has a 2.70 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in three starts but he has not gone past five innings as he has been pulled before serious damage occurs. The Twins are hitting well against lefties and they are 5-1 in their last six games against left-handed starters. Here, we play against home favorites with a money line of -125 to -175 that are outscoring opponents by 1 or more rpg on the season, after scoring 10 runs or more. This situation is 36-22 (62.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (915) Minnesota Twins

This is a play on the WASHINGTON NATIONALS as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. It has been a miserable start for the Nationals as they are now 10-13 following their third straight loss in the series opener last night against the Giants. The offense, which should be one of the best in baseball, has scored just five runs during this recent losing skid and they are hitting only .230 on the season. They are without a couple key pieces but going back, they are 13-4 in their last 17 road games after batting .200 or worse over a five-game span. The Giants have also been bad to open the season as they are 10-12 and are already 5.5 games out of first place in the National League West. They have won two straight games but going back, they are 9-20 in their last 29 after allowing two runs or less in their previous game. Washington hands the ball to Tanner Roark who has pitched very well with a 3.24 ERA and 0.92 WHIP through four starts, posting quality outings in three of those. Both road starts have been quality performances and the Giants have been a favorite target as he has a 1.00 ERA in four starts, all resulting in victories. Ty Blach has been pretty good through five starts as he has a 4.10 ERA, but he has a 1.59 WHIP and his numbers go up a lot more at home where the Giants are 0-2. Here, we play against National League underdogs that are allowing 3.5 or fewer rpg, after allowing four runs or less three straight games. This situation is 83-33 (71.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (911) Washington Nationals

This is a play on the ATLANTA BRAVES as part of our MLB Tuesday Triple Play. Cincinnati Picked up a rare win last night in this series opener as the offense tied a season-high with 10 runs as it broke open a close game with a five-run sixth inning. The Reds are off to the worst start in franchise history as they are now 4-22 and have yet to win consecutive games, going 0-3 following a win and getting shut out twice in the process. The Braves are still three games over .500 and trail the Mets by 2.5 games in the National League East. They have been a great bounce back team, going 7-1 following a loss and going back, they are 9-1 in their last 10 games revenging a loss where the opponent scored 10 or more runs. Brandon McCarthy gets the ball for Atlanta and he has been a great addition to this rotation as he has posted a 2.91 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in four starts, all resulting in Braves wins. His numbers are better on the road than at home as he has allowed just four runs in 11 innings against the National and Rockies. The Reds received a great first start from Tyler Mahle, but he has struggled over his last three starts, posting a 7.20 ERA and 2.00 WHIP. The Braves have a great situation on their side as we play against home underdogs with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 7.00 or worse over his last 3 starts, with a slugging percentage of .350 or worse over their last five games. This situation is 81-32 (71.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (901) Atlanta Braves

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. The home team has held serve through the first four games of this series and we expect that to continue Tuesday. The Celtics are 29-14 at home while the Bucks are five games under .500 and on the season, Boston is 14-7 ATS at home against winning teams. One key factor Boston has dominated in this series is the offensive glass. The Celtics have won the offensive rebounding battle against the Bucks in all four games and by a combined 53-21. This sets up a lot more second chance opportunities where they need to continue to take advantage of. During the regular season, the Celtics were No. 1 in the league allowing teams to shoot just 33.9 percent from long range. In the playoffs, they are dead last, allowing the Bucks to shoot 43.6 percent. Milwaukee was no where near that percentage during the regular season, so we can expect some regression. On the flip side, Boston is shooting below its average from beyond the arc and the last two games have been especially bad, so the return home will help. Boston is 18-4 ATS this season revenging a loss where the opponent scored 100 or more points while Milwaukee is just 18-30 ATS in its last 48 games coming off a home win. Additionally, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after allowing 100 points or more two straight games going up against an opponent after a win by three points or less. This situation is 61-27 ATS (69.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (702) Boston Celtics
