An easy night against the Philadelphia Phillies has reduced the Washington Nationals’ magic number down to three. There was no gloating for Bryce Harper, as his team sunk to 79-76 on the season. The Wild Card Game appears to be out of reach for the Phillies now. They’re heading into Tuesday down 6.5 games to the Brewers.

It’s not officially over the Phillies yet, but they are as good as done at this point. The fact that their postseason chances are coming to an end in Washington is the worst-case scenario for Bryce. While he is a guy to let the fans know how he feels, there really is no rebuttal for him now.

The Nationals are closing in on the postseason, while the Phillies are closing in on vacation plans. Now that they have a 6.5-game hole, the Phillies can start initiating those plans. A lot more pressure is going to be on the Phillies next season.

If they can’t do anything in his second season with the team, then heads are going to be rolling in Philadelphia. From the fans to the front office, the Harper deal is going to look like a colossal failure. In turn, the Nationals will look like they dodged a bullet.

The blame doesn’t fall squarely on Bryce Harper, though. Keep in mind that their pitching has not been effective. Washington opened the season with a disastrous bullpen. In fact, they are still dead last with an ERA of 5.87. That’s how bad things were. They have been better, though, and a real reason why the Nationals are close to clinching a wildcard spot in the postseason. Without the bullpen improving, the Nationals weren’t going to be going anywhere.

They were hovering around the 7.00 ERA mark, so 5.87 is an upgrade if you look at it like that. The Nats are scheduled to start Max Scherzer against Aaron Nola in this one. Nola failing to pitch like an All-Star consistently this season has hampered the Phillies’ efforts as well. Head below for our free Phillies vs. Nationals pick. Note that this is Game 2 of a doubleheader on Tuesday.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Washington Nationals Pick:

Betting odds provided by bovada.lv

Aaron Nola painted a pretty picture on the bump last season. He had a strong season with an ERA of 2.37, but has regressed to a 3.75 ERA in 2019. There is nothing wrong with that by Nola. However, the Phillies would be in a better position right now if he had been pitching like he was a season ago. In any event, Nola is hovering around his career average this year, so it isn’t like he’s been awful.

Down the stretch he’s been awfully inconsistent, though, and has been coming up short in big starts. The Phillies needed him to get hot down the stretch, though that hasn’t been the case. He’s coming off a poor showing against the Braves, as he allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings of play. That also included 9 hits and 2 home runs yielded. Nola has been shaky, with at least 4 eared runs allowed in three of his past four outings. Note that in his last three starts, Nola has posted a 5.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP.

The Nationals have been able to put plenty of runs up on the scoreboard against Nola. They have hit 8 home runs and 24 runs in 258 at-bats against him. Also, Nola has struggled on the road throughout 2019, with a 4.99 ERA and 1.32 WHIP as opposed to a 2.91 ERA in Philadelphia.

Conversely, Scherzer has a 2.97 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 88 innings at home. Ignoring all of that, the Nationals are going to certainly be the more motivated team here. That alone is likely going to propel the Nationals to a win here. Do the Phillies really want to be in Washington right now? Their postseason chances are dashed and the Nationals have their ace on the mound with a chance to get closer to the Wild Card Game, along with homefield advantage on that game. The Nats should have this one in the evening game of a doubleheader Tuesday.

Standing between the Milwaukee Brewers and the postseason are the Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies. Both are on the road, so the Brewers don’t have the comfort of Miller Park over the next six games. The Chicago Cubs are still alive and can catch the Brewers. Despite them feeling down and out, the Cubs have to pick themselves up and understand that their season isn’t in the trash yet.

They must keep in mind that the Brewers aren’t going to get automatic wins on the road. The Cubs are on the road as well for their next six games, but half of those are against the Pittsburgh Pirates. By the time they get to St. Louis next weekend, are the Cardinals going to be playing for anything? That could be a good opportunity.

Nonetheless, overcoming a 4-game deficit in six games is going to be a tricky endeavor. What the Brewers have to avoid is looking at the standings. Block out all the noise of where they are in the standings and the issues the Cubs are having. As soon as the Cubs started standing watching and listening to the news of Christian Yelich out for the Brewers, their season has gone into the waste basket.

There is still time to fish their season out of the basket, but they’re running out of time. The Brewers are in Cincinnati against a disappointing Reds team. Trading for Yasiel Puig was a massive waste. On the positive side, there is a solid chance the Reds are going to have a solid starting rotation to begin 2020.

We haven’t been able to say that in a long time regarding the Reds. Sonny Gray has proven that he can still be the pitcher from Oakland. He’s re-emerged after a tough year in the Bronx with the Yankees. Gray will get the nod against Adrian Houser tonight. Head below for our free Brewers vs. Reds pick.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds Pick:

Betting odds provided by bovada.lv

Sonny Gray went from getting booed and laughed off the field at Yankee Stadium to becoming a top of the rotation guy in Cincinnati. Gray finished with an ERA of 4.90 in his lone full season with the Yankees. He was traded from the Athletics after posting a 3.42 ERA in 16 starts in 2017. All wasn’t perfect for Gray in Oakland.

He had one bad season with a 5.69 ERA in 2016. Gray didn’t pitch a full season, though, only getting 22 starts in a season that he was injured. Maybe the Yankees gave up on him too early and considering what we’ve seen in 2019. His time in the Bronx were numbered after he was seen laughing after getting booed off the mound, though.

In any case, Gray will enter with an All-Star worthy ERA of 2.80 and 1.09 WHIP. He hasn’t allowed more than 3 runs in an outing since July. Further, Gray has yielded 2 or fewer runs in eight out of his previous nine showings. Some of those teams were good offenses as well, with the Cardinals, Phillies, Cubs, and Braves on his resume.

His most recent appearance against the Brewers was an impressive outing. Gray allowed 4 hits and 1 earned run on July 22nd. He’s been solid against the Brewers, as they’re hitting .233 with 2 home runs swatted in 116 plate appearances. Gray goes into Tuesday with a 2.84 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in his previous three contests. He likely does enough to hold the Brewers’ offense in check.

If Gray gets any run support is a bigger question, though. The Reds’ offense has been anemic recently, as the lineup appears to be done with 2019. They’ve averaged just 2.5 runs per game over their last nine games. Cincinnati rank 24th overall in the majors with 4.35 runs scored a game. Their opponent, Adrian Houser, has been sharp against them.

The Reds are hitting just .222 against Houser in 36 at-bats. He has allowed 2 or fewer runs in six of his previous eight outings. Note that the UNDER has gone 7-1 in the Brewers and Reds’ last eight meetings at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. Look for that trend to move to 8-1 after tonight.

The Atlanta Braves have clinched the NL East and don’t have to worry about the Nationals or Phillies any longer. No matter what happens from here to Sunday, the Braves will be going to the postseason as winners of the NL East. This has been a great season for the Braves, and a pretty good for the Nationals who are on a path to go to the postseason as a wildcard. The biggest disappointment in the NL East was easily the Phillies. And that probably goes for the entire major leagues, the Phillies really fell flat and are long shots just to go to the Wild Card Game.

The Phillies won the bidding war for Bryce Harper, but it hasn’t paid off for them, at least in his first season in Philadelphia. Bryce will have to go back to the drawing board in the offseason and figure out what went wrong. He came up big in spots here and there, but his strikeout rate was far too high.

A guy on his contract should not be hitting .256 with 33 home runs. We can find several guys across the majors with better numbers who are not on his contract. He gets somewhat of a free pass in year-one, but don’t expect that next season. Atlanta loved watched the downfall of Harper, as it only helped them out in the NL East. Having said that, even if he was playing well, this division looks like it would be the Braves regardless. With a record of 96-61, there’s only one team in front of them for the top of the National League.

At 100-56, the Dodgers own a healthy lead for 1st. However, there is still an outside shot of the Braves coming from behind to overtake the Dodgers. Their main goal is going to be keeping their focus and making sure that they’re mentally ready for October ball. Going in cold could be a killer, so it’s important they stay composed in Kansas City. The Braves will send out Julio Teheran to square off against Danny Duffy of the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Head below for our free Braves vs. Royals pick.

Atlanta Braves vs. K.C. Royals Pick:

Betting odds provided by bovada.lv

The Kansas City Royals fell hard and fast after winning the World Series in 2015. From a championship four years ago to 57-100 and second-last in the AL Central. The Royals exhausted all of their resources during that championship run and it paid off. The flip side is a rebuilding phase for the Royals. It was well worth it because they won a World Series and fans are going to be more patient with the club because of that. There will come a time soon when the grace period is over, though.

The Royals enter Tuesday 2-8 in their previous ten games. They are ready for the offseason right now. That’s less than a week off, so the Royals don’t have to do much more waiting. They have a tough opponent in town for a couple of days, though. On the bright side, the Royals won’t have to do any flights out of town. They’ll wrap up their 2019 campaign with a three-game series against the Twins next weekend.

Another bright side is the fact that Danny Duffy has been coming on strong in September. Duffy has posted an ERA of 0.95 and 0.75 WHIP in his previous three outings. You must take the good and the bad with him. He is a pitcher who goes hot and cold with no real consistency. Duffy owns an ERA of 4.30 and a 4.23 ERA at home in Kansas City. He’s also done well against the Braves, as they’re hitting .209 in 91 at-bats.

How much do the Royals care, though? They’re playing like they’ve checked out and have to face Teheran tonight. Teheran has had their number, as the Royals are hitting just .182 with a .229 OBP against him. Freddie Freeman will be out tonight, but I don’t think it will matter. Expect the Braves to be composed and focused as they get into postseason mode in Kansas City. I like a 5-3 or 6-4 win for the Braves in this spot.

TUESDAY is a brut of a card with English cup games Dominating the UK matches, throw in a full National league card along with Cup games on the continent and 8 matches from Serie B and you have a right mixed bag.

I'm down in Portsmouth this week for work and would have loved to have went to the South Coast Derby between Pompey and Southampton. Little love lost between these two and its the first meeting between the sides in over 7 years but tickets are like gold dust so it will be a night sat watching the goals fly in.

It's a tricky card but there are some total goals bets I like the look of

Skybet Featured Football Bets:

Sky bet are offering specials on these 6 selected matches and when you look at the sides involved  – it's not unreasonable to think we could see plenty of goals

• Arsenal vs Nottimhgam Forest
• Colchester vs Tottenham
• Luton vs Leicester
• Preston vs Man City
• Brescia vs Juventus
• Barcelona vs Villerreal

Yes the 4 English games are league cup ties and all the sides involved will make big changes but there should still be enough quality on show to think these won't be low scoring affairs.

Juventus travel to Brescia and we all know how strong the Italian giants are  – to round things off Barca are at home and having seen both home matches so far finish 5-2, I think the total bet line is worth taking on

From the 6 matches, I can't see any that make a case to go under 2.5 goals and we should get at least  couple that go 4+

Recommended Bets:

• 21+ goals to be scored
• 10/11 (Skybet) (NAP)
• All matches over 1.5 goals
• 6/5 (Skybet)

Serie B also look like taking on  – 8 matches (20+ goals) at 5/6 – will have a further look in the morning

IT'S a busy night in England and on the Continent but that doesn't make it easy to pick winners.

In England we have the Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy and both competitions are about who fields the strongest side.

All Premier League teams will make many changes but so will lower-league clubs who are concentrating on league results.

We have ties such as Preston v Man City, Arsenal v Nottm Forest and Luton v Leicester and I want to see line-ups before picking out anything on the WDW market. For me the EPL Trophy is a betting no-no.

Games in Europe include Barcelona v Villarreal, Brescia v Juventus and Dijon v Marseille.

I'll have a look at as many games as possible in more detail and see what team news is about before putting up tips earky afternoon.

Well done to all the winners last night including HullShaker. My double was beaten by a Wolfsburg goals and I hummed and hawed about whether to back goals or take the home win and made the wrong choice. My other pick came in with both to score at Sporting. In fact both scored in all five games I flagged up and that would have been a great bet.

THE 3rd Round of the EFL Cup gets underway on Tuesday night.  James O'Rourke (@JamesOR1) analyses the odds on offer and shares his best bets.

Luton v Leicester | Tuesday 24th September 2019, 19:45

The next round of the EFL Cup is upon us and Tuesday night presents us with some opportunities to bulk our bank balance. Having said that, these rounds are often hard to predict, with even teams in the Championship now prepared to tinker with their line-ups with half an eye on upcoming league action.

For Luton, you do just wonder if they will make a change or two. They’ve lost their last two league fixtures, conceding three goals each time. Graeme Jones will be under no illusions that remaining a Championship club is the priority, but I really dislike talk like that ahead of cup fixtures! What Luton will be prepared to do is have a go, even if they make some alterations.

Leicester are obviously the Premier League side in this equation and Brendan Rodgers is someone else who is seemingly wanting to give themselves every chance of lifting this trophy. I think their starting line-up in the last round at Newcastle says everything you need to know. It was practically a full strength side, with the likes of Kasper Schmeichel, Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Jamie Vardy and the like all starting.

With that in mind, I don’t see them making wholesale switches for this one just because an out of form Championship side are next up. Rodgers will have done his homework and he’ll know Luton are dangerous considering how they play. Perhaps above all though, there is some weaknesses where the Premier League side will look to make their class count.

Nine of Luton’s 10 matches this season ended Over 2.5 Goals. All but three witnessed both teams scoring as well. Jones is implementing his own style at Kenilworth Road and clearly they are still coming to terms with that, at a higher level. Leicester are obviously the next level above, and Luton will need to be at their very, very best to get anything here.

The Foxes are in great form, with only a narrow loss at Old Trafford their one loss in the current campaign. Confidence couldn’t be higher after coming from behind to defeat Tottenham on Saturday. They’ve already been to Sheffield United and won, and I can see some similarities between them and Luton. I think tactically this game will suit Leicester well and they should get some chances.

Three of Leicester’s last four top flight games contained Over 2.5 Goals, and I think you know which way we’re going to go here. Leicester to win and Over 2.5 Goals will be our play. It is a 5/4 (Betfred) shot, which won’t get you rich, but I’d be amazed if this didn’t contain a few goals, and if it did it really should be suiting Leicester.

Watford v Swansea | Tuesday 24th September 2019, 19:45

Some Premier League clubs probably view the EFL Cup as a bit of a distraction but I think Watford will just be glad to get back onto the pitch on Tuesday night. They had an afternoon to forget up in Manchester on Saturday when losing 8-0.

The Hornets will fancy their chances of improving upon that, unless they start feeling sorry for themselves. Watford reached the FA Cup final last season, so they’re got good cup pedigree at least.

Swansea have started life under Steve Cooper better than many anticipated, but the Manager of the Month curse has probably struck him after failing to score in their last two. They did enough in the home defeat to Nottingham Forest and away draw to Bristol City to at least score however, so they won’t worry too much about that. They’ll see this as a chance to prove themselves against a Premier League side; a vulnerable Premier League side.

Team line-ups are always especially key in this cup competition so do consider that before making your selections. In this case, I do wonder if Quique Sánchez Flores will possibly go stronger than he’d have initially felt following the Man City horror-show. There’s also the aspect of giving those fringe players a chance to stake a claim after the regulars let themselves down. Still, it was Man City, a game they were not expected to get anything out of.

I do think Watford will look to put on a bit of a show here. Team selection again will depend on my strength of confidence behind that. Swansea themselves I expect to make a few switches having done so in the previous rounds. There is a midweek league programme next week too, so Cooper will look to save some of his regulars I feel.

In normal circumstances, Watford look decent value as they’re been priced up more after losing 8-0, but these cup games in these rounds especially are so hard to predict. It isn’t quite close enough to the latter stages to start fielding the big boys more regularly.

Watford ultimately aren’t used to winning this season, having only defeated League One Coventry in the last round of the EFL Cup. Swansea have already been away to form sides like Leeds and QPR and gained victories.

Team news will have such a big call on this sort of game, so I’ll look towards the goals line as my bet. I do like the look of Both Teams To Score at 3/4 (***).

Swansea generally play the same both home and away, and games are more prone to be open on the road. Watford aren’t really free-flowing themselves so may be second best in possession at times, but they’ll have their moments. Watford have at least scored in four of their last five, only keeping a clean sheet against Coventry.

Best Bets

Luton v Leicester – Leicester to win and Over 2.5 Goals (5/4 Betfred)

Watford v Swansea – Both Teams To Score (3/4 ***)

The Rugby World Cup continues this week and one of Thursday's two matches sees Italy face Canada in Pool B.

With New Zealand and South Africa also in the group, it would be a huge surprise to see either side progress and their respective tournaments may well be defined by games like this.

Italy v Canada Betting Odds

Getting a win on the board is always a nice way to start a World Cup and Italy had no issues in their 47-22 win over Namibia.

Coach Conor O'Shea noticeably withdrew a number of his players early on Sunday with an evident eye on the match in Fukuoka, while Jake Polledri could earn a start in the back-row after his try-scoring performance off the bench.

The Azzurri are 1/14 to win in Fukuoka and that is probably a fair price considering their superiority.

They also won 23-18 when these teams met four years ago in Leeds and will be excited about another chance to throw the ball around having looked fluent against the Namibians.

The Canucks are set for their first game of the tournament and are 10/1 to come out on top.

Their build-up to the event saw them lose all three of their Pacific Nations Cup ties, while they also suffered defeat to the USA in Vancouver earlier this month.

In fact, Canada were close to missing out on Japan 2019 but came round in the nick of time and will see winning this match and the fixture against Nambia on October 13 as their main goals for the competition.

Italy v Canada Team News

As mentioned, Polledri could start in the back-row, although both Braam Steyn and Maxime Mbanda looked good either side of talisman Sergio Parisse.

Tomasso Allan and Tito Tebaldi will again be paired at half-back, while Marco Riccioni may start at tighthead after Tiziano Pasquali went off nursing a shoulder injury in the first half against Namibia.

For the Canucks, Glasgow's DTH van der Merwe remains a fiercely underrated winger, while skipper Tyler Ardron will look to lead from the front having excelled in Super Rugby with the Chiefs.

Italy v Canada Prediction

Italy to win by 1-12 @ 17/2 BET NOW

Looking at this match from a distance, it is hard not to reflect the odds in backing Italy for a decent win.

They looked pretty handy against Namibia and O'Shea's decision to withdraw some of his troops early on Sunday should pay dividends.

Italy are still a bit creaky at the line-out though, while they also conceded three tries in Higashiosaka.

Although both teams probably view themselves as forward-orientated, tries could be a feature in this match and keep an eye for a decent affair.

Despite possible fatigue, Italy are still the better team and should ease to their second win of the tournament.

The 2019/2020 season is almost here. We’re deep into preseason right now and the NHL season begins Wednesday, October 2nd 2019.

We’ll be providing tips right from the beginning of the season and can’t wait for it to get started.

We wanted to remind everyone that we have a list of online sportsbooks that we recommend people use and we strongly advise you sign up at each of these. These are online sportsbooks that we either use ourselves, or trust.

The primary reason for having an account at each of these sportsbooks is simple – getting the best odds. Over the course of the season each sportsbook will have different odds and sometimes the differences are crazy. It’s very common to see differences in the odds of 0.10 or greater.

That may not seem like a large difference but on the grand scale of things, it is.

Let’s say you bet $100 per game. If you bet and win 10 games at 2.00 odds, you’ve made $1000. However if you bet and win 10 games at 2.10 odds, you’ve won $1100. That means you’ve increased your betting units by one, simply by placing a bet at a different online sportsbook!

We even do the hard work for you – when we go to post the tips, we go through all of the sportsbooks we recommend and pick out the best odds for each game. We break it up by America, Canada and Everywhere Else.

Another reason to have multiple accounts is bonuses and rewards. The majority of online sportsbooks offer up deposit bonuses etc which helps increase your bankroll. Now they all have wagering requirements but over the course of an NHL season, you’re going to be able to clear each one.

It’s nice simply betting hockey like you always do, then getting $300 of the sportsbooks money simply because you gave them some of your action.

Here’s a quick list of the online sportsbooks that we advise you taoe the time to get an account at in preparation for the 2019/2020 season:

Look at that list, and if there is any you aren’t registered at then take the time to sign up with them. Your bankroll will be happy!

We should note that we also get a small kickback from each of these sportsbooks for people who sign up via our links – so if you want to support the site and hard work we do, taking the time to register at those sportsbooks and deposit is much appreciated! And don’t worry that doesn’t affect who we recommend – there are multiple sportsbooks who have offered us a decent amount of money to promote them but we refuse to due to our own trust issues with them.

The Cleveland Indians picked up a big win for us last night, that will go a long way into seeing the Indians make the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. Not only did the Indians win the game in blowout fashion, 10-1 over the Philadelphia Phillies, they also saw the two teams they are chasing, the Oakland Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays, lose to teams that are well out of contention. As Ice Cube once said, today was a good day for Cleveland.

After picking up the win last night, and cashing our ticket along the way, the Indians are now tied with the Rays for the second wild card in the American League, with the Athletics just two games ahead. It is a three-team race for two spots in the American League and the next week of games are certain to be exciting.

For the Phillies, the loss last night all but seals their fate, they won’t be making the playoffs this season. Philadelphia finds themselves six games backs with just eight games left on the schedule, and even if they run the table, it likely won’t be enough to make up enough ground to sneak into the playoffs. To call it a disappointing season in Philly would be a gross understatement as the Phillies went all-in on a World Series push this season, and they didn’t even make the playoffs.

Don’t be shocked if manager Gabe Kapler is sent packing as soon as the season ends as he is on the hottest of hot seats right now. For today’s pick, we will stay right here with Philadelphia, as the Phillies head to Washington for a five-game series with the Nationals.

The Washington Nationals host the Philadelphia Phillies tonight in game one of a jumbo five-game series with the Phillies. After the opening game of the series tonight, the two teams will play a doubleheader on Tuesday and finish the series up on Thursday. The Nationals are currently tied with the Milwaukee Brewers for the first wild card in the National League and need a strong finish to make sure they secure a spot in the playoffs, while also ensuring that the wild card game will be played in Washington.

The Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets are lurking four and four and a half games back respectively and are hoping the Nats or Brewers slip up down the stretch and allow them to get back into the postseason conversation.

For the Phillies, their season appears to be done as they are six games back of Washington and Milwaukee for the wild card and would need to sweep this series and get some help if they are going to find a way to sneak into the playoffs. But in baseball, it ain’t over until it’s over, and this team is still technically alive so you can expect them to be playing hard tonight.

Starting tonight for the Nationals is Patrick Corbin (13-7 3.10 ERA), and for the Phillies it is Zach Eflin (9-12 4.00 ERA). The game total over-under is set nine runs. The Nationals are -197 home favorites. First pitch is scheduled for 4:05 PM PST from Nationals Park in Washington DC.

In most years, the Phillies would be done at this point. Down six games with just eight to go is usually a gap that just can’t be closed. But with a stroke of luck and good scheduling, the Phillies will have at least some chance of making it to the playoffs still. They have five straight games against one of the teams they are chasing, and each win would be basically worth two wins, as the Nationals would also be losing. If the Phillies were to sweep the Nationals this week, they would leave the series down just one game with three games left to play. Still hard to manage, but there is a path to the playoffs for Philly.

But in order to keep that dream alive, they must win tonight in the series opener. If they lose even a single game in this series, the season is over for Philadelphia. With the season hanging in the balance, they turn to Zach Eflin tonight in game one.

Eflin has been solid most of the year. He had a brutal month of July that saw him go 0-4 with an 11.88 ERA in five starts, but besides that one bad month, he has pretty good. In September, when his team has needed him the most, he has posted an ERA of just 1.19 in four starts. He has given up a few unearned runs, so he hasn’t been quite as good as that ERA might imply, but he has done a great job of elevating his performance late in the season.

In his last two starts, he faced the hard-hitting Atlanta Braves twice, and tossed a combined ten and two-thirds of an inning and did not allow an earned run. He did struggle with his command though, as he walked five guys in the two games, and gave up four unearned runs. But to post these types of results against a team as good as the Braves is impressive, nonetheless.

Eflin has been great against the Nationals this season as he is 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA in three starts. He has twenty-one strikeouts, more than he has against any other team this year, and the Nationals are hitting just .182 against him in eighteen innings of work. The Phillies need a huge outing out of him tonight to keep their season alive.

Patrick Corbin is very quietly putting together a career year for the Nationals. His thirteen wins are just one shy of his all-time mark, and his 3.10 ERA is the lowest he has ever posted. He has 224 punchouts and a WAR of nearly six. Corbin tends to get ignored a little bit with Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg snatching most of the headlines, but this guy has been really good, especially here late in the season.

Since the All-Star break, Corbin is 6-2 with a 2.74 ERA in thirteen starts and has a whopping ninety-five strikeouts in just seventy-eight and a third innings worked.  The Nats have taken advantage of these string results as they are 12-5 when Corbin starts since mid-June. In his last start, he tossed six innings against the St. Louis Cardinals and did not allow an earned run while striking out eleven. Against Philadelphia this year, he is 1-0 with a 3.32 ERA in three starts, the Nationals won all three games.

This is playoff baseball. While not technically a playoff game, this series will serve as the first round for both of these teams. If the Phillies don’t sweep, and they won’t, their season is done. And if the Nationals take care of business, like they should, they will be able to set their rotation for the playoffs and give themselves a great shot of advancing past the wild card game. This series simply could not mean more to both teams.

Most playoff games are lower scoring. Teams are quicker to go to their bullpens, play for one run in innings, and they will make the other team fight for every run on the board. That generally leads to lower scoring games. And with two starters on the mound that fully understand how important this game is, and that have the talent to shut the opposing team down, I think that is just what we will see tonight.

I won’t touch the side as I think that the Nationals are going to win, but I am not about to lay nearly -200 to back them. But when I see the game total at just nine runs, I feel like it is going to come in well under. Both of these starters should be good, and with a playoff-like atmosphere in the air, the game should be very competitive. This game has 3-2 written all over it. So, I will jump on the under nine runs and expect it to come in with room to spare.

The Bet: Under 9 runs at -110

Beverley and Lingfield (all weather) are joined in the afternoon on Tuesday by jumps fare at Warwick,  while later in the evening they race under the lights at Chelmsford on the Polytrack.

5.15 Beverley

Bollin Ted win and each-way @ 8/1 BET NOW

Bollin Ted is a real lover of Beverley, with all five of his career wins having arrived over today's C&D. The most recent of those came in July, producing a typically piercing late challenge to get the verdict.

Previous to that, he's just been foiled by the re-opposing top weight here, Thorntoun Care. It won't be a major surprise to see the pair in the mix again now and, with his superb course record, Bollin Ted edges the verdict.

He's perhaps on the limit in terms of his rating for this, but he tends to go well for claiming rider Emma Easterby and should throw his hat in the ring.

1.50 Lingfield

Merweb win and each-way @ 9/1 BET NOW

Merweb was denied a neck in a C&D handicap behind Lothario here in August under Jane Elliott. The front pair were clear that day, and the runner-up was eating up the ground in the closing stages before just running out of time to earn the verdict.

Just how strong the form was is open to interpretation but the front pair had clear daylight and it is worth taking a chance on the Shamardal gelding now back on the this artificial surface.

Both his runs since have come on turf with 'soft' in the going description and that - so far - has clearly not been his preference.

With those two runs being disappointing, he's overlooked a little in betting back on this surface.

The only occasions he has finished out of them on in seven all weather runs have been in higher grades than this, and he looks a decent shout to at least make the frame back in this sphere.

2.10 Warwick

Ferrobin win and each-way @ 9/4 BET NOW

A few of these novices' have winning form in the book over timber already but the one that appeals most is Dan Skelton's runner Ferrobin.

A wide-margin winner at Huntingdon in March, he became expensive to follow in three further starts before right back on track at Aintree with a gutsy success.

The form of his defeats worked out quite well, while the horse he beat into second at Aintree was also an easy next-time-out winner.

Ferrobin is back from a 130-day break here, sporting a new tongue-tie and his stable is in form (2-4 lately) as the jumps season revs up.

The big story in sports has been the Milwaukee Brewers. They are 15-3 over their past eighteen games which has all but eliminated the Chicago Cubs from the playoff race and put them in position to steal the top place in the Wild Card from the Washington Nationals. An incredible run made all the more incredible by the fact that they did this last year in September as well.

With six games remaining, the Brewers would need to go 5-1 with the Cardinals going 1-5 to win the division. I don’t see that happening on the Cards end, but with the Brewers? Who knows. This is as red hot as a team has been all season.

Tonight we have a Monday Night Football match-up featuring the Chicago Bears heading to Washington to take on the Redskins. Washington is 0-2 on the season and desperate for a win here, but the Bears are currently a -5.5 favorite.

NFL Betting Tips:

Chicago Bears at Washington Redskins: The Bears came into the season with big expectations and they are 1-1 to start with the results being considered unimpressive. They are in a tough spot here as they face a desperate 0-2 team on the road tonight.

This is a tough game to project though. The Redskins on offense are one of the bottom teams in the league in time of possession while the Bears have a great defense so things could be bad there. The running game is the issue, but the passing game has carried them. While the Bears offense has been pretty terrible thus far with Mitch Trubisky carrying just a 27.5 quarterback rating.

All that said, I think it’s just a few too many points for a desperate home team to be getting here. They are going to play their best game here and the Bears offense that is just to score more than 16 points in a game should continue to struggle.

Bet Redskins +5.5

MLB Betting Tips:

Philadelphia Phillies at Washington Nationals: A couple of weeks ago, the Nationals were picturing this point of the season as being a cruise to the end. Thanks to the red hot Milwaukee Brewers, they have a completely different motivation as they are in danger of losing home field in the Wild Card game.

They draw a nice match-up against the Phillies here. The Phils were looking like contenders at one point this season, but they had so many injuries along the way that they are now firmly out of it. Their offense is really struggling over the past two weeks and they are pretty much just playing to get done. Patrick Corbin goes for the Nats today and he’s been one of their best pitchers this season with a 3.10 ERA/3.36 FIP and some big time strikeout numbers. The Nats need this one and I think they’ll get it.

That said, their offense has been cold of late as well with just a 86 wRC+ over the past two weeks. Zach Eflin isn’t the most effective pitcher in the game, but I think this game will be a lower scoring affair. My system sees the score being a 4-3 type of game yet the total is higher. Let’s go under on that.

Bet Nationals/Phillies Under 9 Runs

Just like that, we are down to the final week of the MLB regular season. Unless you’re a Tigers, Orioles or Marlins fan, odds are that the season once again flew by despite 162 games on the schedule. It’s been fun handling these FanDuel MLB DFS Picks throughout the season and while I will certainly continue to do so once the postseason rolls around next Tuesday, I still want to make sure we conclude the regular season the way it began: with plenty of profits.

Let’s take a look at tonight’s small five-game main slate and see if we can get our week started on the right note!

P – Steven Matz (NYM) – $8,900 vs. MIA

Patrick Corbin of the Nationals is an awfully appealing top option on this slate as he’s been flat-out dominant at home this season and his Nats are heavily favored to win their game against the Phillies tonight, however those two things can also be said about fellow southpaw Steven Matz as he takes on the Miami Marlins tonight at Citi Field in Queens. Matz has been simply brilliant at home this season where he owns a stout 1.94 ERA and while his 3.19 FIP and 3.67 xFIP would seemingly suggest some regression, it has not happened yet this deep into the season, so I’m not concerned much at all there. Furthermore, his K-rate jumps from just 7.77 K/9 on the road all the way to 9.39 K/9 at home and his home run rate falls from a whopping 2.42 HR/9 on the road to just 0.69 HR/9 at home. In 13 starts at home this season, Matz has allowed more than two earned runs on just one occasion and zero times over his last seven starts at home. He’s in a real nice matchup tonight as he takes on a Marlins team that ranks 29th with a .289 wOBA on the season against left-handed pitching and 30th with a .136 ISO against lefties as well. With the work at home that includes a heavily increased dosage of strikeouts against one of the very worst offenses in baseball, Matz offers plenty of value upside at this price.

C/1B – Pete Alonso (NYM) – $4,200 vs. MIA

I believe Matz will get enough run support to earn a victory in this one tonight as the Mets’ offense takes on left-handed Caleb Smith. I targeted Smith in his last start at Arizona has he’s struggled on the road this season and struggled mightily of late, and while my players didn’t hit, the D-backs scored four runs in five innings against him. Now Smith will face a Mets lineup that, like Arizona, enjoys plenty of success against left-handed pitching as they rank eighth with a .337 wOBA against them. Alonso clearly has plenty to do with that as he’s been unbelievable against left-handers this season – especially at home. The NL Rookie of the Year lock enters this one sporting a .350 ISO, .952 OPS, .385 wOBA and 143 wRC+ on the season against left-handed pitching – numbers that are actually quite similar to his figures against lefties. That said, his best split comes at home against lefties where he owns a massive .429 ISO, 1.064 OPS, .420 wOBA and 166 wRC+ against them this season. Alonso is once again enjoying a big month as he’s posted a .351 ISO, .980 OPS, .393 wOBA and 149 wRC+ for the month of September to this point. He’s homered three times over his last five games and has a double in that span as well. I think I’ll take this success considering Smith has posted a 6.18 FIP and 2.68 HR/9 against righties on the road this season.

2B – Cavan Biggio (TOR) – $3,800 vs. BAL

While I am loving the Mets’ offense in their matchup against Smith, I am using their pitcher as well so I am limited to a three-man Mets stack in this lineup tonight and therefore my main offensive stack will come from Toronto where the Blue Jays take on the worst pitching staff in baseball in the form of the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore will hand the ball to Chandler Shepherd to kick this one off and I expect him to go roughly 3-4 innings like he has done in each of his three big league appearances this season. In those appears, he’s posted a 4.91 ERA, 5.04 FIP and 5.21 xFIP with a 1.64 HR/9. He posted a 10.01 ERA, 8.55 FIP and 6.12 xFIP in 29.2 innings with the Red Sox organization before moving to Baltimore where he worked to a 4.60 ERA, 4.04 FIP and 4.52 xFIP in 72.1 Triple-A frames. Needless to say, we have a targetable pitcher on our hands as well as a bullpen that owns a league-worse (tied with the Nationals) 5.89 ERA while their 1.77 bullpen HR/9 is the worst in baseball. Enter Biggio who brings some nice power and stolen base potential to the table with 15 homers and 13 steals this season in 94 games. He owns a 2.33 ISO, .836 OPS, .355 wOBA and 122 wRC+ against righties on the season, numbers that improve versus righties at home. He also owns a .279 ISO, 1.029 OPS, .426 wOBA and 170 wRC+ in September, so I am all over him in this matchup tonight.

3B – Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (TOR) – $3,200 vs. BAL

It’s interesting as the elite-level play of Bo Bichette and Biggio to this point have put Guerrero – the top prospect in baseball prior to the season – in somewhat of a shadow behind them. That’s not to say that Guerrero hasn’t been producing and his second half has been much better than his first half from an all-round offensive production standpoint with a 122 wRC+ since the All-Star break after posting a 97 mark prior to the break. The good news with Guerrero – at least against Shepherd – is that he owns reverse-splits this season and has hit right-handers better than he has lefties. Guerrero has posted a .182 ISO, .844 OPS, .356 wOBA and 123 wRC+ versus righties this season compared to just a .133 ISO, .652 OPS, .285 wOBA and 75 wRC+ against lefties. Interestingly, he owns monster numbers on the road against righties and some subpar ones at home against them despite Rogers Centre in Toronto sporting some hitter-friendly confines. Nonetheless, he’s posted a two-hit game in four of his last five and has two doubles over his last three. He also owns a six-game hitting streak entering this one tonight. There’s a ton of power to be had here, so let’s look for him to drive in some runs hitting behind Biggio and our shortstop tonight.

SS – Bo Bichette (TOR) – $3,900 vs. BAL

Keep an eye on Bichette’s status and the Blue Jays’ confirmed lineup tonight as he hasn’t played since entering concussion protocol thanks to taking a pitch off the bill of his helmet last Thursday. He’s listed as questionable for this one tonight, and for argument’s sake I will include him in this stack as he should certainly be in here tonight because we can indeed afford his high-priced services. Furthermore, in case he doesn’t play, the utility player in this lineup is a shortstop so simply plug him in this spot and find a different utility man to fill out your lineup. Bichette has been the best of the Jays’ ‘Big 3’ rookie bats as he owns a big-time .260 ISO, .929 OPS and 142 wRC+ through the first 46 games of his big league career. For what it’s worth, he only had a 103 wRC+ at Triple-A this season. Still, he hasn’t stopped hitting at this level yet and we need to include him in this lineup as a result – especially as the leadoff man, if he plays. The results have been better against lefties, but I’m not about to argue with his .245 ISO, .868 OPS, .360 wOBA and 126 wRC+ against righties. Should he enter the lineup tonight there’s a ton of cross-category upside with the young shortstop.

OF – Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (TOR) – $3,000 vs. BAL

Completing our four-man Blue Jays stack is Gurriel Jr. who also sports some superior numbers versus left-handed pitching but has hit right-handers for power as well. In fact, he hit a homer off of a right-hander when we rostered him last week and I’ll look for more of the same tonight against this Orioles pitching staff that can’t help but surrender the long ball. Gurriel Jr. will enter this one sporting a .211 ISO, .801 OPS, .335 wOBA and 108 wRC+ on the season against right-handed pitching. Furthermore, the numbers improve to a .231 ISO, .884 OPS, .367 wOBA and 131 wRC+ against righties at home. Keep in mind that Gurriel Jr. also sports some stolen base upside as he’s swiped six bases on the season and five bases against a right-handed pitcher. Like Bichette, I am digging the cross-category upside that we get with Gurriel Jr. This becomes even more so when we see him penciled in to hit out of the three-hole again tonight, behind Bichette and Biggio but also in front of Guerrero. There should be both RBI and run-scoring opportunities on top of the power/speed combination that he brings to the table tonight.

OF – J.D. Davis (NYM) – $2,600 vs. MIA

Let’s get back to some Mets exposure as Davis brings a wealth of value upside to the table at this price considering his work against lefties, and more specifically, his work at home against lefties. Entering this one tonight, Davis has touched lefties up for a .211 ISO, .893 OPS, .371 wOBA and 134 wRC+. It’s actually good news that his figures against righties at quite similar as he becomes rather matchup-proof for when the Marlins’ 27th-ranked bullpen enters this game, which has been early of late when Smith is the starting pitcher. Home has been where Davis has been doing the vast majority of his damage this season. He owns a .301 ISO, 1.063 OPS, .434 wOBA and 181 wRC+ at home this season. Go ahead and compare that to his weak .127 ISO, .710 OPS, .305 wOBA and 86 wRC+ on the road. In other words, his bat has been 14% below league average on the road, but a whopping 81% above league average at home. His work at home has indeed been superior against lefties where he’s posted a .328 ISO, 1.132 OPS, .460 wOBA and 193 wRC+ against them. Add in his .191 ISO, .912 OPS, .384 wOBA and 143 wRC+ in September and his home run in yesterday’s game and I think I’ll take the power potential and run here.

OF – Austin Hays (BAL) – $2,700 vs. TOR

After selecting Matz as my pitcher as well as a four-man Blue Jays and three-man Mets stacks, I had $2,900 with an outfield spot to fill. Of that group, I’ll take young Orioles outfielder Austin Hays as he takes on Blue Jays veteran Clay Buchholz. Buchholz has struggled to a 6.48 ERA, 5.12 FIP and 5.21 xFIP on the season while allowing 1.62 HR/9 as well. Buchholz also surrendered a whopping seven runs to these Orioles in just 3.2 innings his last time out, so I think we have some upside here with Hays who has been impressive in his big league time this season. Through 15 games and 47 plate appearances in the bigs this season, Hays owns a .302/.362/.535 slash line to go along with a .233 ISO, .374 wOBA and 133 wRC+. It’s a small sample, but he’s destroyed right-handers to this point in his brief big league time this season with a .458 average, .417 ISO, 1.375 OPS, .556 wOBA and 256 wRC+. Both of his homers and all four of his doubles have come against right-handed pitching to this point. Furthermore, two of his four doubles came against Buchholz last week as he’s 2 for 2 with two doubles and a run scored against the veteran. I think there’s plenty of value to be unlocked in this matchup.

UTIL – Amed Rosario (NYM) – $2,500 vs. MIA

Completing our lineup and our three-man Mets stack tonight Rosario who is once again projected to hit in the leadoff spot thanks to his big-time production against left-handed pitching here in 2019. Rosario enters this one sporting a .301 average, .206 ISO, .863 OPS, .361 wOBA and a 128 wRC+ against left-handed pitching this season. Unlike Alonso and Davis, Rosario’s numbers have actually fallen at home and he’s posted some massive production against lefties on the road. That said, he’s been productive of late as he’s hit in five of his last six games with two doubles, two homers, five RBI and a stolen base in that time with the steal coming just yesterday. There’s little doubt that Rosario’s bat has perked up to the point where the Mets can use him as their everyday shortstop moving forward. He brings pop (14 homers, 29 doubles, seven triples) to the table and the stolen base potential is there with 18 steals on the season – albeit with just three of those coming against a lefty. He’ll likely need to work on his consistency in this area, however, as he’s also been caught eight times. Nonetheless, Smith is struggling and the Mets clobber lefties. I want their productive leadoff man in this stack at a very cheap cost.

They had Australia on the ropes for a time in their opening game and now Fiji will be looking to bag their first win of the 2019 World Cup when they face Pool D minnows Uruguay on Wednesday.

Alex Jack takes us through his selections as the South Sea Islanders look to rack up the points against the South Americans at Kamaishi Recovery Memorial Stadium.

Fiji v Uruguay Betting Odds        

Fiji are the heavy favourites at 1/40 to pick up their first win of the tournament following their 39-21 defeat to the Wallabies.

Uruguay have the unenviable opening game of the competition ahead of them against the Pacific Islanders and are 25/1 to spring what would be a huge upset.

The draw between these two sides on Wednesday is available at 100/1.

Fiji v Uruguay Team News

The only saving grace for the Uruguayans will be the fact Fiji have made 12 changes from the side that went down to the Wallabies on Saturday.

Fiji will still have high hopes of reaching the quarter-final stages of the World Cup and have their encounter against Grand Slam champions Wales set out as a priority.

Only captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu, Leone Nakarawa and Semi Radradra retain their places in the starting XV for Wednesday but they still have a host of man-mountains who will be looking to push for a starting place in that crunch game against the Welsh.

Number eight Viliame Mata (calf) and openside flanker Peceli Yato (concussion) were both injured against Australia so they had no chance of featuring in this second Pool D game.

As for underdogs Uruguay coach Esteban Meneses has named nine survivors from the starting line-up that secured their spot at the World Cup against Canada in February last year.

Juan Manuel Gaminara is one of the eight players who were in Uruguay's match-day 23 when they suffered a 47-15 to Fiji at the last World Cup in 2015.

Fiji v Uruguay Prediction

Fiji -38 FT Handicap @ 8/5 BET NOW

It really is hard to see Uruguay causing an upset in this match but, like in 2015, they might well have their moments in this encounter and could cause the Fijians some problems.

However, over the course of the 80 minutes, the power and the strength of Fiji should just prove to be too much.

Fiji will be looking to rack up the points early before fatigue kicks in but really they should be falling on the right side of the -38 full-time handicap market against the Uruguayans.

THE Scottish Reserve League has done what we expected it to do at the start of the season and that's deliver plenty of winners through goals.

There are 4 games kicking off today with three of those taking my fancy in what will be one of Europe's highest preforming leagues for goals.

• Ross County vs Kilmarnock

• Hibs vs Hamilton

• Motherwell vs Dunfermline

Still awaiting team news but Ross County landed us yet another two winners last week with a 4-0 win and we should see goals again from both sides as they host Kilmarnock.

Hibs no longer participate in the Reserve league but do play in the Reserve Cup – I have no idea what sort of side they will field so will need to wait until team news comes out around 1-1.30pm but wouldn't be surprised to see goals regardless of who starts.

Been whisperings of Motherwell fielding a strong side  – either way there should be goals and I would expect goals in all 3 games. Small stakes.

Recommended Bets

• Over 2.5 match Goals treble
• 11/10 (***)
• Ross County vs Kilmarnock over 3.5 goals
• 5/6 (***)
• All three matches over 1.5 first half goals  – singles  / doubles  / trebles

Belgium Reserve League: Mechelen vs Sint Truiden (KO 7pm)

My favourite Belgium Reserve side are in action tonight as Sint Truiden are on the road again and will likely be on the end of another heavy defeat.

They've lost 6-1 5-0 and 3-2 away from home and have already conceded 17 goals in just 5 matches this season and that doesn't bode well against a Mechelen side who are two from two at home.

Recommended Bets

• Over 1.5 First half goals
• 1/1 (***)
• Over 3.5 match goals
• 10/11 (***)
