After a large slate last night, an even bigger slate of games awaits us tonight. 30 total teams, with 15 match ups fill this Tuesday night full of America's pastime. Tonight's slate begins at 6:40 ET and the final game will have a scheduled start of 10:10 ET. St. Louis is the most favorable team playing with their money line being set at (-227) which makes a lot of sense considering they are playing the Athletics who have lost 4 straight. Once again, Colorado vs Arizona holds the highest over/under with (12.5) but that seems to be expected. Taking out ballpark factors, the 2nd highest over/under is Yankees vs Braves with that being set at (10.5). Today we will cover 3 MUST have hitters to target for Fantasy/Player Props.
