cubs -118 over padres (1.0 Units)
The Cubs are in the thick of the AL Wild Card race. The Rockies are in first place but these Cubs are just 3.5 games back.
With the Padres being completely out of it and being non-divisional rivals to these Cubs, we don't expect the greatest of efforts from them. Since the Cubs are slight favorites, they obviously have the higher probability of winning.
So all the factors here indicate the Cubs are the easy pick to make.

giants -109 over mets (1.5 units)
Again, the Giants are in it and the Mets are not. Easy play to make.
--------------------
cardinals -156 over dodgers (1.5 units)
The Dodgers got a much needed win yesterday against the Diamondbacks. I guess it was kind of stupid for us to bet against the Dodgers but oh well...
Since both of these teams are atop the standings of their respective divisions, this game will be treated kind of like a playoffs game. The advantage goes to the team with the momentum. The Dodgers have been pretty poor L20 and only 4-6 L10. The Cardinals, on the other hand, keep winning. They are 8-2L10.
