Nelly's Free MLB Selection Tuesday
San Francisco Giants (Carson Whisenhunt) vs Cleveland Guardians (Foster Griffin)
San Francisco Giants vs Cleveland Guardians Over 8 (-110) (BetMGM)
Cleveland pitching has allowed at least five runs six times in the past 10 games in contrast to the team’s reputation for solid results on the mound. The Guardians have a 5.66 ERA with a 1.66 WHIP from the bullpen in the past 10 games and acquisition Foster Griffin has allowed eight runs and 11 h...
Cleveland pitching has allowed at least five runs six times in the past 10 games in contrast to the team’s reputation for solid results on the mound. The Guardians have a 5.66 ERA with a 1.66 WHIP from the bullpen in the past 10 games and acquisition Foster Griffin has allowed eight runs and 11 hits in nine innings in his two starts since coming over from Washington at the trade deadline. For the Giants Carson Whisenhunt hasn’t offered much promise in just over 51 MLB innings the past two seasons, sporting a career 5.61 ERA and a 6.11 ERA this season. His 5.8 BB/9 is alarming, particularly lineup against a Cleveland lineup with one of the higher walk rates in MLB. Cleveland has some recent success vs. left-handed pitching with 4.7 runs per nine of the past five games and the Guardians have 20 wins this season vs. left-handed starters for the second most in the American League. Cleveland home games have averaged 8.5 runs per game this season and Cleveland pitching has allowed five or more runs six of eight home games so far in August. This lefty-lefty pairing is priced appropriately but both starters could be at risk of getting into some early trouble in this pairing. Thank you for playing with Nelly’s and Best of Luck. Nelly’s is on a soldi run of profits so far in August 2026 after a profit of +$10,280 in MLB in August 2025. Check out our NL Central Game of the Month Tuesday as well as a great Total Delivery play.

Sean Murphy's BLUE JAYS-RAYS O/U WINNER!
Toronto Blue Jays (Jose Soriano) vs Tampa Bay Rays (Nick Martinez)
Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays Under 7.5 (-110) (DraftKings)
My selection is on the 'under' between Toronto and Tampa Bay at 6:40 pm et on Tuesday. We deserved a better fate than a loss with the 'under' in Jose Soriano's most recent start. The bullpens came unglued in an eventual 6-4 Blue Jays victory but Soriano was once again on point, allowing just one...
My selection is on the 'under' between Toronto and Tampa Bay at 6:40 pm et on Tuesday. We deserved a better fate than a loss with the 'under' in Jose Soriano's most recent start. The bullpens came unglued in an eventual 6-4 Blue Jays victory but Soriano was once again on point, allowing just one earned run over six innings. Rays starter Nick Martinez continues to enjoy a career year. He did give up four earned runs in his most recent start but that was a complete game victory at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. The Blue Jays aren't consistently producing at the plate right now, relying on their strong pitching to keep them in the A.L. Wild Card race. Thanks to an off day on Monday, they'll have all hands on deck in their bullpen on Tuesday. The Rays weren't so fortunate to be off on Monday but I do think they're well-positioned to keep Toronto's lukewarm bats at bay. Take the under (8*).

(#955) San Diego Padres | ML | . Robbie Ray (10-7, 3.28 ERA) vs. Zac Thornton (3-3, 2.78 ERA) . I'm going with the playoff/wildcard contender opposed to the team that's pretty much out of the conversation here on Tuesday. Robbie Ray will get the nod this evening for the Padres and he's been fantastic. Since his days playing with the Giants, his team is 11-3 over his past 14 outings. That's excellent work right there. I believe that we should see him continue the excellence this evening. Looking at the Mets, they will go with the rookie Zac Thornton. I have been quite impressed with what I've seen from the youngster. However, I do believe that he's just pitching behind a team that just doesn't want it as much right now. SDP is fighting for a spot in the postseason so expect it to prevail tonight. Burns' Prediction: 6-2 Padres.

Tyler Mahle is starting for the Braves in this game and he is 4-9 with a 4.64 ERA this season. He has been great in his last 2 starts, pitching much better since getting traded to the Braves, but he struggled a lot with the Giants this season and he has not been good on the road. He pitched 6 scoreless innings on the road against the Yankees in his 1st start with the Braves, but he has allowed 3+ earned runs in 5 of his last 7 as well as 7 of his 10 road starts this year, allowing 5+ earned runs in 5 of those as well. He also has 7 career starts against the Twins and he is 2-1 with a 5.17 ERA. Zebby Matthews is starting for the Twins in this game and he is 6-8 with a 5.34 ERA this season. He has not been good recently as he has allowed 3+ earned runs in each of his last 3 as well as 6 of his last 7 starts, allowing 10 runs total in 10 innings pitched his last 2 starts. He has also struggled more at home recently with 4+ earned runs allowed in 2 of his last 3 starts there. The Braves have a very good offense that is going to get to Matthews for some runs and the Twins bullpen has not been good recently either, but the Twins also have a good offense themselves and will be hungry to bounce back at home in this series. Between these two sides, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.

At 8:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Texas Rangers over the Washington Nationals. The Rangers come off of a very tough road trip to Anaheim and Sacramento that not only saw them go 2-5, but also fall into a tie for the final playoff spot with the Baltimore Orioles of all teams. They return home to Arlington to take on the Nationals for three games (followed by the Angels). It certainly can't hurt coming back to Texas as the Rangers are 32-27 here this season. They'll send swingman Cal Quantrill to the mound tonight for his ninth start of the season to kick off this series. The 31-year-old righthander has posted a very nice 3.44 ERA in just under 71 innings and he has an even better 3.13 ERA in the eight games that he's started. With Nathan Eovaldi recently going on the IL for elbow inflammation, Quantrill could have a job at the back end of the rotation for some time -- possibly the rest of the season. And Quantrill has a career 3.24 ERA in 14 games (four starts) here at GlobeLife Field. Take the Rangers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

My free play for Tuesday will be on the Chicago Sox/Cubs OVER the total in their second game of the Crosstown Classic on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. First of all, the pitching matchup sets up both offenses for success. Chicago sends Bryan Hudson to the mound. He’s got a record of 3-4 with a 3.14 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. The Cubs will counter with Kevin Gausman, who is 6-11 with a 4.53 ERA. Gausman has especially been hurting lately, allowing six runs and seven hits in just 4 2/3 innings his last outing against Washington. Offensively, both sides are also coming into this game hot. The first game of this Crosstown rivalry went 7-5 in favor of the Cubs on Monday, with Chicago compiling 14 hits in that contest. Pete Crow-Armstrong hit two homers while Seiya Suzuki added another. Over in the loss, the White Sox have some power as well with a three-run homer from Randal Grichuk and a two-run blast from Andrew Benintendi. The White Sox also came into this series on a hot streak as well, sweeping Detroit and hitting 12 homers while batting .285 over their last week of play. With Gausman being shaky as of late, both offenses capable of producing power and both bullpens likely having to cover a lot of innings, I like another bats-flying-out rivalry game. Jim's Free Play: 979. White Sox / Chicago Cubs OVER

Our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers to defeat the Colorado Rockies on the run line on Tuesday at 8:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones: Los Angeles will start Eric Lauer -- He pitched really well in his last game giving up just one earned run in six innings. We had the Dodgers yesterday as well in their blowout win. They are now 75-51 this season. They are also 37-24 as a road favorite this season. Colorado will start Ryan Feltner -- He hasn't been too good and much worse than Sugano who pitched yesterday and got lit up. We're on the Dodgers to win another game in commanding fashion. AAA Sports

For my best free pick on the board here for Tuesday I am looking at the WNBA and the Atlanta Dream at the Las Vegas Aces. Two top teams in the WNBA both are off big losses last time out. This game means more to Atlanta who has lost 7 straight head to head with the Aces 2 of them happening this season. I see this game being razor tight until the final buzzer and love getting a possession in my pocket with the Dream.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Liga MX Soccer Take Tigres UANL -1 over Atlante (9 p.m. EST, Friday August 21) Tigres have sone work to do as they are all the way down in position No. 16 in the table (of 18 sides). This is a perennial championship contender, and we have no doubt they will rise up the standings as the season progresses (13 matches left). This looks like a good spot for them. Atlante is new to The Liga and they were promoted from Liga MX Expansion and also they took on Mazatlán’s infrastructure when that side was disbanded after last season. They have been impressive with points in three of four matches so far. They have played a lot in Mexico City, where they reside, but this will be a tough road tilt for them. The last time they went on the road outside of Mexico City was their only loss of the season, to Necaxa, a team that is much worse than Tigres. They suffered a couple really bad losses in Leagues Cup, where they were beaten by Salt Lake and Minnesota in the USA with a goal differential of -6. These sides haven’t played in a long time, but Tigres have won the last three meetings by two goals each. It’s not time to panic yet, but Tigres desperately need three points here, and this looks like a great spot at home for them to get back on track. And the value is at the lowest point it will probably be all season for this side, and we will strike while the value is there.Free newsletter
