Rleith has been part of my research and analysis everyday. I don't make picks without looking at his posts. Thank you very much man.

@RLeith35

 Hi, please educate me about "play on" and "play against" and the team in parenthesis. Thank you

@teebo623

 When he says play against, the team in parenthesis is the team you are playing against. You pick the other team. 

@Tailer187

 thank you!

• Cal Quantrill RHP (5-3, 3.04 ERA)
• Griffin Jax RHP (3-3, 6.72 ERA)

Although Cleveland will miss the playoffs, it’s been a somewhat promising year for the soon-to-be Guardians. They have been around .500 most of the season despite having the lowest payroll in baseball, and they have discovered some diamonds in the rough.

Cal Quantrill has been one of those players. Quantrill was a reliever for the first two months of the season, but Cleveland moved him into the rotation after a strong start. After a rough first month, he has shown he has what it takes to thrive in this role. Quantrill threw 7.2 innings against Minnesota in his last start on September 9, allowing just four hits and one earned run in a 4-1 win over the Twins.

Minnesota’s Griffin Jax has gotten somewhat unlucky. He has a 6.72 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP, but he hasn’t been sharp in his two previous starts against Cleveland. Jax has allowed 10 hits and seven runs (five earned) in 10.1 innings. The Twins won both of those games, but the third time will be the charm for the Indians on Wednesday. Clev ML/J.Willis

• Sean Manaea LHP (9-9, 3.79 ERA)
• Mike Minor LHP (8-12, 5.05 ERA)

Oakland’s postseason hopes are fading fast. The Athletics have lost seven of their last ten games and three in a row to fall 3.5 games out of the Wild Card race. They have really struggled on the road over the last month with a 4-10 record in their last 14 road games.

Sean Manaea has been somewhat inconsistent this year. While Manaea has decent peripherals, he has allowed eight home runs in his last five starts, playing a role in Oakland losing four of its last five games with him on the mound.

Mike Minor hasn’t picked up a win since July 26, but he has a good chance to break that skid on Wednesday. Minor looked sharp in his last two starts and hasn’t allowed more than three runs in a start since August 6./K.C. RL +130

The Dodgers are 11-0 since September 13, 2020 as a favorite of more than -170 when it is the last game of a series and a night game.

The Diamondbacks are 0-10 since May 20 when they committed at least two errors and allowed less than 10 hits last game.
