A Closer Look At The MLB Betting Picks and Winning Favorites for Tuesday, July 25

   

Chicago White Sox (38-57) at Chicago Cubs (51-46)

When: Tuesday, July 25 at 2:20 PM EST Where: Wrigley Field, Chicago TV: MLBN Probable Pitchers: Carlos Rodon Vs John Lackey Analysis: The White Sox have already made it clear that they are going to be sellers in the trade market, shipping out 3 players to the Yankees. The Chicago White Sox are on a 9-game losing skid right now, but have been keeping things close more often than not, covering the spread in 5 of those 9 games. They are 3-7 O/U in their last 10 outings. Carlos Rodon (1-3, 5.75 ERA) is scheduled to start for the White Sox on Tuesday afternoon. We have all been waiting to see when the Chicago Cubs team from last season would show up, and it now appears that they have arrived. The champions are 8-1 in the second half of the season, and would have been perfect had it not been for a late innings collapse in their sole loss. The Cubs are now 5 games above .500 and tied with the Brewers for the lead in the Central. Veteran pitcher John Lackey (6-9, 5.04 ERA) will start. MLB Betting Pick: Chicago White Sox 2 Chicago Cubs 6

Cincinnati Reds (41-57) at New York Yankees (51-46)

When: Tuesday, July 25 at 7:05 PM EST Where: Yankee Stadium, NYC TV: MLBN Probable Pitchers: Luis Castillo Vs Jordan Montgomery Analysis: The season is essentially over for the Cincinnati Reds, as they continue to disappoint, going 2-8 in their last 10 games. They have not been particularly competitive, and have only managed to cover twice in their last 11 games. In addition, the Reds have been brutal on the road, going just 16-29 so far this season, and they are just 5-9 in interleague play. Luis Castillo (1-3, 3.86 ERA) will start for the Reds. On the other hand, the Yankees needed to start making a move to get back into the divisional fight in the AL East, and they did that by taking 3 of 4 from the Mariners to end the week. The Yankees will look to build on their 26-17 record at home this season, and should be favorites to do so against the listless Reds. The Yankees have put together a solid 9-5 record in interleague play this season. Jordan Montgomery (6-5, 4.09 ERA) will be on the mound for the Yankees. MLB Betting Pick: Cincinnati Reds 2 New York Yankees 7

Milwaukee Brewers (53-48) at Washington Nationals (59-38)

When: Tuesday, July 25 at 7:05 PM EST Where: Nationals Stadium, Washington TV: MLBN Probable Pitchers: Zach Davis Vs Gio Gonzalez Analysis: If truth be told, we have all been waiting for the Brewers bubble to burst, and that moment may have come with the Cubs finally catching up to them in the division race. The Brewers have lost 7 of their last 8, and more alarmingly, 3 of those losses came against the woeful Phillies. Runs have proven hard to come by of late, and 8 of the last 9 games for the Brewers have gone UNDER. Zach Davis (11-4, 4.76 ERA) will start for Milwaukee. The Nationals are sitting pretty with a 12-game lead atop the NL East, but they once again have concerns about Stephen Stasburg, as the pitcher was forced to leave early in his last start with tightness in his arm. The good news is that they can give him as much tie as he needs to rest, as they look to have the division wrapped up, even at this early stage. Gio Gonzalez (8-5, 2.83 ERA) will start. MLB Betting Pick: Milwaukee Brewers 1 Washington Nationals 4
