Chicago Cubs 
at Milwaukee Brewers 
Justin Steele has a 1.48 WHIP and that doesn't exactly match his 4.39 ERA. He's been racking up walks (4.13 K/9IP) and that's a recipe for disaster and not pitching deep into games. I don't think he gets a lot of strikeout in this game so I'm going to go with the under (5.5 strikeouts, -130) here
MLB Best Bets for Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers
- UNDER 5.5 (-130) strikeouts Justin Steele
Minnesota Twins 
at Chicago White Sox 
Johnny Cueto is on the wrong side of 36 and has allowed three or more earned runs in six of his last seven starts. That says to me taking over 2.5 earned runs here makes a lot of sense. The Twins are 12th in baseball with 364 runs and will get nine innings of at-bats being on the road tonight.
MLB Best Bets for Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox
- Johnny Cueto OVER 2.5 Earned Runs (-150)
Colorado Rockies [LOGO at Los Angeles Dodgers 
Julio Urias has been a beast this season with a 2.64 ERA and hasn't allowed a home run in any of his last three starts. He just beat this Rockies team and now gets them at home which is a huge park upgrade. Colorado strikes out the 12th-most in baseball against left-handed pitching on the road while the Dodgers have the 12th-best wOBA against left-handed pitching. Look for the Dodgers to win by multiple runs here.
MLB Best Bets for Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers
- Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 Runs (-130)
