MIKE LUNDIN'S PADRES @ BREWERS FREE PICK

**STUNNING 9-1 NFL YTD ~ TOP RATED TENNESSEE @ JACKSONVILLE PLAY TONIGHT**

The Milwaukee Brewers have plenty on the line down the stretch as they enter Thursday tied with Chicago Cubs for the second wild card in the National League and just three games back of NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals. Great pitching performances have allowed them to win 11 of their last 13 games, and I think we'll see a pitchers duel here at Miller Park Thursday afternoon. 

San Diego lefty Joey Lucchesi (10-8, 4.22 ERA) was smacked around for eight runs over 3 2/3 innings of a 10-8 loss at Coors Field last time out, but he had posted a 1.57 ERA through a four-game stretch prior to that and this ballpark should suit him much better. We can also note that he has a 2.31 ERA in two starts against the Brewers and the under is 10-4-1 in Milwaukee's last 15 games vs. a left-handed starter.

As for Milwaukee starter Jordan Lyles (10-8, 4.25 ERA), the 28-year-old right-hander has compiled a 2.39 ERA in nine starts since coming over from Pittsburgh, with one or no runs allowed in seven of those starts. 

Under is 21-6 in Padres last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 4-0 in Lyles' four starts with the Brewers here at Miller Park. 

Free pick on UNDER.

TIGERS @ INDIANS TOTAL

I think runs will come at a premium for both sides when the Detroit Tigers visit the Cleveland Indians Thursday evening. Cleveland righty Mike Clevinger (11-3, 2.68 ERA) has not given up more than two earned runs in his past six outings and he has held the Tigers to one run in 14 innings while striking out 22 this season. As for Detroit starter Daniel Norris (3-12, 4.62 ERA), the left-hander has had his struggles with Cleveland, but he held Baltimore scoreless on one hit on Saturday. 

Under is 4-0 in Tigers last 4 overall and  9-2-1 in their last 12 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Under is 10-2 in Indians last 12 overall and 7-2 in their last 9 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

8* play on UNDER. 

PHILLIES @ BRAVES TOTAL

I think runs will come at a premium for both sides when the Atlanta Braves visit the Philadelphia Phillies Thursday afternoon. 

Philadelphia righty Aaron Nola (12-5, 3.62 ERA) struck out nine while allowing just one run in seven innings of a 2-1 Phillies loss to the Red Sox last time out. Under is 7-1 in Braves last 8 home games vs. a right-handed starter. As for Atlanta starter Mike Soroka (12-4, 2.57 ERA), the right-hander is having a tremendous year and fired six shutout innings of one-hit ball against Washington last time out. Under is 7-3-1 in Phillies last 11 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Under is 4-0 in Phillies last 4 overall. Under is 20-8-1 in Braves last 29 overall.

8* play on UNDER. 

THURSDAY NIGHT MLB RUNLINE RIPPER

The Minnesota Twins' bats took the night off and generated just one run on three hits in a loss to the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. I expect them to come back in full force here and put a beating on the Kansas City Royals. 

The Twins are 6-2 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and here they'll face a Royals team that is just 27-50 on the road. The visitors hand the ball to left-hander Mike Montgomery (3-9, 4.70 ERA) who has an ugly 7.85 ERA through 36-plus innings of work on the road this season. He has served up 12 homers over those frames, and Minnesota leads the majors with a single-season record 289 home runs ... 

Minnesota counters with Kyle Gibson (13-7, 4.76 ERA) who will make his second start and third appearance since returning from a 12-day stint on the injured list. Gibson has not been sharp in recent starts, but a matchup with KC could be just what the doctor ordered as he is 2-0 with a 3.26 ERA in three starts against the Royals this season.

8* play on Minnesota Twins. 

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL TITANS @ JAGS BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY*

The Tennesse Titans dominated Cleveland Browns in Week 1 but failed to make it a 2-0 start to the season when they came up short in a 19-17 loss to Indianapolis last time out. 

I think they'll bounce back here in Jacksonville Thursday night, facing an 0-2 Jaguars team that had big trouble to generate any kind of offense in its 17-16 loss to Houston on Sunday. 

With Nick Foles (and several other offensive pieces) out, the Jags have to rely on rookie QB Gardner Minshew under center. The 6th round pick has not embarrassed himself, quite far from it, but moving the ball against this solid Titans defense won't be easy.

As for the Jacksonville defense, it gave up 126 yards on 30 rush attempts to the Texans, and Tennessee can do plenty of damage on the ground with dual-threat QB Marcus Mariota and RB Derrick Henry who ranks 6th in the NFL with 165 yards on the season. 

We can also note that the Jaguars are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game and 3-9-2 ATS in their last 14 games overall. 

The Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings and won both last season's contests straight up, including a 9-6 triumph here in Florida. 

10* play on Tennessee Titans.
