Europa League Final Wednesday Free Pick Roma +175 vs Sevilla @ 3 ET - This line almost looks funny really. The fact is Sevilla has more attacking options and comes into this one in better form yet the match is priced as basically a toss up. In my opinion, this translates to solid value with Roma as most are likely to be looking the other way but this club springs the upset. Free Pick ROMA +175 |

MLB Tuesday OVER 8.5 in Detroit Tigers vs Texas Rangers @ 6:40 ET - Alex Faedo coming off one of the best starts of his career and he totaled 10 strikeouts in that one which was the first time in his career he ever totaled more than 7 strikeouts. This is giving us some nice value here as the Tigers hurler is a little over-valued in this spot and I like the Rangers to hit him hard. At the same time, we get line value with Martin Perez on the hill for Texas because he has some good overall numbers. One of the keys here is that Perez has a high 4.87 ERA on the road this season and in all his starts this year he has a .294 BAA. He also got hit at a .294 clip in 2021. Looking at his career numbers you also realize that his great 2022 might have been more of a one-off success story than anything else. When you look at his career numbers season by season, Perez has had only two truly solid seasons. He is just one of those guys that has hung around but rarely been strong for a full season. With the way he is struggling on the road this season and the line value we have here, I will not hesitate to step in. Note that the Tigers bullpen BAA is 12th in the AL and the Rangers bullpen ERA is 12th in the AL. Taking action on pitchers as per usual as both bullpens should give some up here too and I like the value of the 8.5 and I like the fact the Tigers had averaged 5.2 runs scored per game last 10 games before being shutout yesterday. Also, the Rangers have averaged 6.5 runs scored per game last 16 games. Warm weather for this one too! OVER 8.5 in Detroit |

MLB Tuesday OVER 9 in St Louis Cardinals vs Kansas City Royals @ 7:45 ET - I am going with action on the starting pitchers as usual but we will start there. The Cardinals Miles Mikolas is winless with a 5.86 ERA in his 5 home starts this season. He has been hit at a .336 clip in home starts this year. Zack Greinke expected to get the ball for the Royals in this one and he is 0-3 with a 6.66 ERA in his 5 road starts this season. Historically he has struggled on the road quite often in many of his MLB seasons. Last year he was 0-7 with a 5.32 ERA in his 14 home starts. Over the past two season he is now 0-10 in his 19 road starts and opponents have hit about .300 against him in those outings. The Royals have scored an average of 5 runs per game their last 7 games and will look to build off yesterday's 7-0 win. However, I am sure that the Cardinals will bounce back at home after being shutout and especially facing Greinke and one of the league's worst bullpens. The Cards, before yesterday's home shutout, had seen 9 of their last 12 home games total at least 9 runs. Those dozen games averaged 12.3 runs per game. Look for that type of scoring to resume here. OVER 9 in St Louis |

Rotation #201405: Italian Serie B Tuesday OVER 2 -135 in Cagliari vs Parma @ 2:30 ET - This the first leg of a 2-match battle between these foes to earn promotion to Serie A, which is the highest level of football in Italy. It is a big deal to say the least! Both clubs have recently been in Serie A and what to get right back to it! The key here is the value of an over 2 and I see strong odds that each club scores at least once and I also do not see Parma settling for a draw here even at the possibility of being more aggressive leading to the deciding goal going the wrong way for them. Parma knows the next match is at home and I am expecting an aggressive approach from them here but note that Cagliari was one of the top home clubs in the league this season and averaged scoring 1.5 goals per match in their home matches. Also, Parma has fresh legs and are well-rested with a week and half off since their last match. So this sets up well for Parma to be particularly aggressive on the attack. Cagliari has scored at least 1 goal in 6 straight matches and has averaged scoring 2 goals per match during this stretch. Parma has scored at least 1 goal in 8 straight matches and has scored an average of 1.6 goals during this stretch! OVER 2 -135 in Cagliari |
