Los Angeles Dodgers (Tarik Skubal) vs Chicago Cubs (Javier Assad)
Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-125) (Consensus Line)
The Dodgers just made a move for Detroit’s T Skubal, so why not start taking him on this team now !!! In 6 starts against the National League Skubal had given up just 2 earned runs of less in 5 of them.

My free play is the Cubs +1.5 runs. The Dodgers were swept at home by Boston over the weekend and followed that up with a 10-5 loss to the Cubs on Monday night. While Los Angeles still has the most talented roster in baseball, they haven't been playing their best lately, and they've run into two of the hottest teams in the league over their last two series. The Cubs have been on an impressive 30-15 run since June 11 and have been one of the best offenses in baseball against lefthanded pitching. They rank second in MLB in batting average versus lefthanded starters this season and lead the league in OPS against lefties during this recent stretch. Tarik Skubal should continue to pitch well with his new team, but I believe the Cubs are the play tonight on the run line. Thanks and best of luck!

Dodgers F5 -0.5 Tarik Skubal is in his first start with the LA Dodgers. He goes under the bright lights at Wrigley Field, and I like his chances of pitching well in his first start. Assad is one of the Cubs biggest weaknesses as a starter. In limited at bats against him this Dodgers lineup has a wOBA of nearly .500 against him. Assad is likely to get hit hard here. Skubal gets it done in start one. (12-1 last 13 MLB Run Line plays. MLB Tuesday Best Bet is a run line selection!)MLB - Run Line - Tue, Aug 04 @ 08:05 PM
Los Angeles Dodgers (Tarik Skubal) vs Chicago Cubs (Javier Assad)
Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-130) (Consensus Line)
#957 LA DODGERS RUN LINE with Skubal (-1' -130) over Chicago with Assad at 8:05 PM EST After four straight losses by a combined 30-15 margin, the Dodgers are in a strong position to respond when they visit the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

#957 LA DODGERS RUN LINE with Skubal (-1' -130) over Chicago with Assad at 8:05 PM EST After four straight losses by a combined 30-15 margin, the Dodgers are in a strong position to respond when they visit the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Los Angeles has seen its NL West lead over Arizona shrink to 9.0 games, and manager Dave Roberts should have his club fully focused in this important payback spot. Left-hander Tarik Skubal will make his first start for Los Angeles after a strong July with Detroit. Over five starts against Baltimore, Kansas City, the Angels, Philadelphia, and Oakland, No. 29 allowed just seven earned runs and 22 hits across 31.0 innings, striking out 41 while walking six. That produced a 3-1 record and an excellent 2.03 ERA. Across his last 78 starts, Skubal has allowed only 129 earned runs and 357 hits in 450.0 innings, good for a 38-15 record and a sharp 2.58 ERA. Right-hander Javier Assad gets the start for Chicago. In five July appearances, including three starts, No. 72 allowed only three earned runs and 18 hits in 18.0 innings, striking out 17 and walking five while posting a 1.50 ERA. However, his career history against the Dodgers is a concern: in two appearances, including one start, Assad has yet to record a decision and owns a 13.50 ERA. The run-line trends also support Los Angeles. Chicago has failed to cover the run line in 236 of its last 445 games overall, 142 of its last 242 after a win, 129 of its last 221 at home, and 169 of its last 316 against National League opponents. Skubal’s first start for the Dodgers comes in a high-profile spot at Wrigley Field, and the former Cy Young winner has the form to make an immediate impact. Take Los Angeles on the run line with Skubal. Thanks, and best of luck, Tom.WNBA - Point Spread - Tue, Aug 04 @ 10:00 PM

Toronto Tempo +13.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)

Golden State has secured both wins and covers in its first two games with the Tempo this season. The Valkyries defeated Toronto by 17 points on Sunday, but blowing out the same opponent in consecutive games is often difficult. The Tempo will be motivated to put forth a stronger performance. Road underdogs have covered at a strong clip in the WNBA this year, including Toronto’s 7-5 ATS mark on the road. Prior to Sunday, Golden State went 10-4 straight up its previous 14 games, yet only one of those 14 contests (a 15-point victory) featured a margin larger than 13 points. Expect a tighter contest this time. Take the points.WNBA - Point Spread - Tue, Aug 04 @ 10:00 PM
Toronto Tempo vs Golden State Valkyries
Golden State Valkyries -11.5 (-110) (DraftKings)
My free winner for Tuesday night is the Golden State Valkyries, minus the points against the Toronto Tempo. This is a bad trip for the Tempo, as they'll play a second straight game in San Francisco after losing by 17 on Sunday. Toronto has now lost six in a row and 10 of 11 while being outscored ...
My free winner for Tuesday night is the Golden State Valkyries, minus the points against the Toronto Tempo. This is a bad trip for the Tempo, as they'll play a second straight game in San Francisco after losing by 17 on Sunday. Toronto has now lost six in a row and 10 of 11 while being outscored by almost 15 points per game. The Valkyries, meanwhile, are battling for a top seed in the standings, and bring the league's most stringent defense with them. I'll lay the points. ... BIG PLAY ALERT: I cashed my NL East Dog of the Year on the Phillies (-1', +140). I'm now ranked No. 1 over the L120 Days with more than $47K in the bank. I'm also No. 1 in MLB this season with more than $48K cleared. Tonight's top play has the checkbook in my hands as I fill in the blank with a ridiculous amount. You should, too.
