My free winner for tonight is the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs to sail over the posted number at Wrigley Field. We're going to see mostly cloudy skies with mild temperatures expected. There is supposed to be a light breeze blowing across the diamond from right to left, so every bit helps. But the real story for this total is the starting pitchers, as the Reds are going with Andrew Abbott (1-2, 5.97) and Cubs are sending Jameson Taillon (2-1, 4.41) to the hill. Their ERAs tell me all I need to know for a division rivalry mashup. Look for this one to creep toward 10. ... BIG PLAY ALERT: I hit my big plays last night, on the Knicks (Atlantic Division GOM), Royals (ALC GOM) and UN Chi/LAA (AL TOM). I still rank No. 1 the L7/30 Days, the latter generating $22,350 NET$. In the NBA specifically, I've won four of my last five releases after the Knicks hit last night. Tonight, it's my NBA DIVISION GAME OF THE YEAR.MLB - Moneyline - Tue, May 05 @ 07:45 PM

#903 MILWAUKEE with Sproat (+) over St. Louis with Pallante at 7:45 PM EST After suffering two road losses to the Nationals and Cardinals, Milwaukee is eager to step up under the Tuesday night lights. St. Louis managed a home victory against Milwaukee yesterday, making tonight a challenging follow-up for manager Oliver Marmol and his team. Brandon Sproat, a right-handed pitcher for Milwaukee, will take the mound. Despite a rough outing on March 29th against Chicago, Sproat settled down in five April appearances (three starts), surrendering only 13 earned runs and 22 hits over 23.2 innings. He struck out 22 batters and walked 11, resulting in an 0-2 record with a 4.94 ERA. Across his 10 career games (eight starts), he’s allowed 31 earned runs and 46 hits over 47.1 innings, tallying an 0-4 record with a 5.89 ERA. For St. Louis, right-hander Andrew Pallante gets the start. In his five April outings, Pallante gave up 13 earned runs and 24 hits across 26.1 innings, striking out 23 and walking 11 for a 2-2 record and a 4.44 ERA. Over his five-year career, Pallante has permitted 234 earned runs and 499 hits in 491.1 innings, compiling a 27-31 record with a 4.29 ERA. The odds favor Milwaukee, who have won 85 of their last 155 games after a loss, 67 of their last 113 division contests, and 173 of their last 308 when playing without rest. Meanwhile, St. Louis has lost six of its last 11 matchups in this series and 190 of its last 361 games when listed as an underdog. Determined to climb out of last place in the NL Central, the Brewers are expected to give their all at Busch Stadium and aim for redemption in this rematch. Take Milwaukee with Sproat. Thanks, and best of luck, Tom.MLB - Moneyline - Tue, May 05 @ 09:40 PM

(#930) Seattle Mariners | ML | . Bryce Elder (3-1, 1.88 ERA) vs. George Kirby (4-2, 3.00 ERA) . I was going to like the Mariners to win tonight whatever happened in the opening game of the series yesterday. Seattle is starting to play much better offensively in my eyes, and it's still got pitching for days. No, the starters haven't been as dominant as you'd expect. But, for the most part, they've all been very solid, just not getting enough run support. For Atlanta, I do like this team a lot. However, despite what his numbers show this season, I'm still not sold on Bryce Elder. I watched this guy get hit around for B2B seasons, pointing ERA's above 5.30 in both seasons. If he continues this pace, props to him. But, I do see it happening. Give me the M's here. Burns' Prediction: 4-2 Mariners.MLB - Moneyline - Tue, May 05 @ 09:45 PM
