Earliest Cash - Rickenbach MLB Game #953 Monday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Miami Marlins vs Washington Nationals @ 7:10 ET - Erick Fedde is off of a surprisingly strong start in his last outing but he faced the Phillies in the middle of a major slump. Prior to that outing Fedde had compiled a 6.26 ERA while allowing 35 hits in just 27 and 1/3 innings spanning his 6 prior starts. In other words, one shouldn't over-react to one strong start from Fedde and I look for him to struggle at Miami tonight. Of course the Marlins are likely to have pitching issues of their own here. Not only is the Marlins bullpen (5.47 ERA) ranked dead last in the majors this season, starting pitcher Trevor Richards has been struggling. The over is 5-0-1 in Richards last 6 starts as he has allowed 23 earned runs on 31 hits in just 27 and 1/3 innings of work. The over is 3-0 overall in the Marlins last 3 games and Washington is 8-4 to the over in their last 12 games. Look for more of the same on Monday as both starters struggle. 10* OVER the total in Miami |

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach MLB Game #952 Monday Free Pick Philadelphia Phillies Money Line (-) vs New York Mets @ 7:05 ET - The Phillies failed to complete the 3-game sweep of the Marlins yesterday but should bounce right back here. Philadelphia sends Jake Arrieta to the mound and he has piled up 18 strikeouts in 12 and 1/3 innings spanning his last two starts. He also has a sparkling 0.89 ERA in his last 3 starts versus the Mets. As for New York's Zach Wheeler, he gave up 3 earned runs on 7 hits in just 4 and 2/3 innings in his lone start versus the Phils this season. The Phillies are 45-30 in home games this season and offer good value at the low money line price in this one. The Mets are 12-23 in road games with a money line range of +125 to -125 this season.

Run Line Rout - Rickenbach MLB Game #958 Monday 8* Milwaukee Brewers Run Line -1.5 runs +120 vs Cincinnati Reds @ 7:40 ET - Wade Miley has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 12 of his 13 Brewers starts. The Milwaukee southpaw also has dominated the Reds as he has allowed just 1 earned run in each of his last 3 starts versus Cincinnati and two of those were this season. As for the Reds Anthony DeSclafani, he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of this last 3 starts versus the Brewers and 2 of those were this season. Also, the Cincinnati right-hander enter this start having allowed 10 runs (9 earned) in his last two starts and those have spanned less than 9 innings of work! The Brewers are off of a tight loss yesterday but still are 19-7 this season in games where they are a home favorite in a money line range of -125 to -175. That said, I like the added value offered here with the run line. By laying the 1.5 runs with Milwaukee, we get a +120 comeback price on the home favorite. Keep in mind, prior to their upset win yesterday at Wrigley Field, Cincinnati was 5-20 in their previous 25 road games. That is a horrible two month run and I expect it to resume here and this home win for the Brewers should come in blowout fashion. 8* MILWAUKEE |

MNF Annihilation - Rickenbach NFL Game #289 Monday 8* Seattle Seahawks (+) @ Chicago Bears @ 8:15 ET - Yes the Seahawks have a few injuries but that is factored into this line. We're getting great value with road dog Seattle as we go against a Chicago team that is just 1-6 ATS the last 7 times they've been a home favorite. Also, the Bears QB is Mitch Trubisky while the Seahawks QB is Russell Wilson. You can't base a play on one position but, one thing is for certain, the QB position is an extremely critical one and Seattle has a huge edge there in this match-up. Also, while Seattle's D did struggle at Denver last week they did garner 3 interceptions in that game and hung tough in a 3-point loss. As for the Bears, it is tough to come back after an extremely deflating defeat to the division rival Packers. Chicago blew a huge lead at Lambeau Field last Sunday night and now feels the pressure of another primetime game on Monday night. While Bears head coach Matt Nagy is in his first year with Chicago, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is a long-time veteran. When Seattle is on the road against an NFC foe following a game against an AFC foe in the prior week, they are on an 8-1 ATS run. I also like backing the Seahawks off of a loss. Seattle is 11-2 ATS when they are off of a SU loss outside of their division and are facing a team that has a losing record. The Bears are 0-16 ATS when they are a home favorite against an NFC foe that is off of a SU loss. The Seahawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 5 road games (one push) against NFC opponents. That means this play is supported, in addition to a number of solid angles, by a pair of angles that are a combined 20-0 / 100% perfect. 8* SEATTLE |
