Cubs vs. Tigers

MLB.TV

The Cubs enter Tuesday in possession of the second Wild Card spot in the National League. They have little to no breathing room, however, with the Giants just a half-game back and a trio of teams (Diamondbacks, Reds, Marlins) one game back of S.F.

Chicago needs every win it can get. Our MLB expert, DJ James, believes the Cubs have the goods to rattle off a fourth straight win — read more in his game preview below.

Rockies vs. Rays

The Colorado Rockies will head to St. Petersburg this evening to begin a series with the playoff contending Tampa Bay Rays. It's an unappealing pitching matchup in this one with Zach Littell starting things up for Tampa against Colorado's Ty Blach.

MLB betting analyst Doug Ziefel sees both offenses coming to life against these pitching staffs, and details below how you should play the total.


Blue Jays vs. Orioles

Tuesday, August 22
7:05 p.m. ET
MLB.TV

The American League East race is red-hot, and the Toronto Blue Jays will do their best to make up ground on the front-running Baltimore Orioles starting tonight in Charm City. Yusei Kikuchi will take the mound for Toronto against Baltimore's Grayson Rodriguez.

While both pitchers have been in good form of late, MLB betting analyst Nicholas Martin is looking at two Baltimore bats that could take advantage of a plus matchup with Kikuchi tonight. You can read his analysis and betting pick below.


Dodgers vs. Guardians

Tuesday, August 22
7:10 p.m. ET
MLB.TV

After being sent from Los Angeles to Cleveland in a trade deadline deal, Noah Syndergaard will take the mound against his former team tonight when the Guardians host the Dodgers. Intriguing rookie Bobby Miller will oppose him for Los Angeles.

Despite concerning results, MLB betting analyst Kenny Ducey believes there's value on Syndergaard and the Guardians as big underdogs, and details how he's betting them below.
