Handicapper: Rocky Atkinson

Seattle starter Logan Gilbert has struggled badly against Philadelphia, posting a 7.88 ERA against the Phillies over the last three years and a 7.50 career ERA against them.

Handicapper: Rob Vinciletti

Free Pick: OVER 180.5 -110

WNBA: DREAM -8.5
Handicapper: AAA Sports
AAA Sports backs ATLANTA -8.5 against Los Angeles.
The Dream have won three straight and five of their last six while compiling a strong 12-7 road record.

Free Pick: DREAM -8.5
MLB: PADRES -104
Handicapper: Mike Lundin

The Pirates have struggled badly against left-handed starting pitchers, posting a 12-27 (.308) record against southpaw starters this season.
That weakness becomes particularly important against Robbie Ray. The San Diego lefty is 11-7 with a 3.20 ERA and has posted a 2.67 ERA over his last five starts. Current Pittsburgh hitters have managed just a combined .205 batting average against him over 39 career at-bats.
Free Pick: PADRES -104

Seattle counters with Logan Gilbert, who owns a solid 3.35 ERA but faces a Philadelphia club riding a nine-game winning streak.
With Rocky Atkinson, Brandon Lee and Marc David all independently recommending Philadelphia, the Phillies are another notable consensus side on Monday’s free card.
Free Pick: PHILLIES -113
