MLB Monday 10* Top Play New York Mets Run Line -1.5 -140 vs Cincinnati Reds @ 7:10 ET - Justin Dunn starts for Reds here. He makes his first MLB appearance of this season but at AAA level of the minors he went 0-3 with a 6.92 ERA in 7 starts while getting hard hard plus walking 16 in 26 innings. Chris Bassitt starts for the Mets here and he has a 3.06 ERA at home and deserves a better record than he has. He should get a W added to the win column here if he starts as he has allowed just 15 earned runs total in his last 8 starts and he has gone at least 6 innings in all those outings. Regardless of the starting pitchers here, I am making this bet with action, note that the Mets have won 12 of 14 games and are red hot with 11 of those 12 wins by at least a 2 run margin! I know the Reds have been winning lately too but they have not scored much with just 1 of those games being a strong game offensively out of last 7 and in the other 6 they averaged only 1.8 runs scored per game (not including extra innings). Cincinnati will not be able to keep up with potent Mets lineup here no matter who the pitchers are. 10* NEW YORK METS -1.5 -140

MLB Monday 10* Top Play OVER 9.5 in Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays @ 7:05 ET - The Orioles are off an 8-1 loss but had won 5 straight games before that and scored an average of 5.6 runs per victory. The Blue Jays are 10-5 last 15 games since the All Star break and have averaged 6.1 runs per game. Regardless of starting pitchers here (action on this play) I like the fact that both teams have been hot and they each have extra confident batting lineups as a result. About the starting pitchers, I will mention that Jordan Lyles allowed 4 earned runs in 5 innings against Toronto earlier this season. Also, Yusei Kikuchi allowed 4 earned runs in 4 innings against Orioles this season and the damage could have been even worse in that one and that was in Toronto and he'll face an even bigger challenge at Baltimore. Kikuchi is 0-3 with a 5.74 ERA in 9 road starts this season. Lyles also gave up 4 homers in 4 innings when he faced the Blue Jays last year too. So this is a problematic match-up for each starting pitcher but, regardless of starters, I look for both teams and therefore both lineups to stay hot in this one. 10* OVER 9.5 in Baltimore

Romania Liga 1 Free Pick Monday UNDER 2 in Hermannstadt vs Voluntari - Both clubs have allowed just 2 or less goals total in 3 matches this season so goals are sure to be at a premium in this one. Voluntari has been scored on just once and Hermannstadt scored on just twice. Would love to get an under 2 and 1/4 here or 2 and 1/2 if you see that available but even at under 2 goals there is so value here as this one has the makings of a 1-0 final. Free Pick UNDER 2 in Hermannstadt

Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 GOALS in FC Botosani vs Farul Constanta - These are two clubs and Botosani not afraid to risk on offensive end even at risk of getting in trouble on the counter-attack at the other end of the pitch. That is why Botosani conceded 2 goals in its other home match this season. The good news is Botosani scored 3 goals in that one for the win plus they have scored at least 1 goal in every single match this season. Farul Constanta scored 2 goals in each of first two matches to win both but now is coming off a frustrating scoreless draw with Chindia Targoviste last week. Undoubtedly Farul Constanta is going to push the pace in this one and look to get back onto the scoresheet early but Botosani certainly capable of doing the same. That said, this one has the makings of being one of the higher scoring matches this season and should get to at least 3. We certainly do not want a push at 2 goals but there is good chance we get to at least 2 goals here (though I am expecting much more). Note that 23 of 30 matches so far this season have totaled at least 2 goals so the ability to get an over 2 is a good value here. 10* OVER 2 in FC Botosani

Romania Liga 1 Monday 10* Top Play VOLUNTARI +219 @ HERMANNSTADT - The hosts for this one are having financial issues and they have a mess with their home stadium situation and are being forced to play home matches in a nearby city instead of their home city. Indeed, it is a frustrating situation for Hermannstadt. I know they have still managed to play decently this season but complications forced this match to be moved from Saturday to Monday and it is simply a bad situation for the hosts from one of the most beautiful cities in Romania, Sibiu, having to play home matches in Medias. Hermannstadt did enjoy a blowout win 3-0 to open the season with a big victory but it was over Mioveni which is the worst club in the league. Their other matches have been 1-1 draws and so I know they are undefeated this season but Voluntari can absolutely get the upset here. In fact Voluntari has won 2 of 3 matches this season and only has conceded one goal on the campaign. Too much value to pass up on with the big dog in this one. 10* VOLUNTARI +219
