Top MLB Picks and Predictions Today (White Sox as Underdog, Trust Astros and Rays on Tuesday)

Johnny Cueto is having one of the best seasons of his career. The White Sox are underdogs to Logan Gilbert and the Mariners. Gilbert has been fantastic on the road, but he's regressed in the second half of this season. The Mariners rank 18th in OPS since August 1st.

Rich Hill hasn't been effective lately for Boston. Drew Rasmussen has gone 11 starts without allowing more than three runs. Boston's offense is fourth in MLB, while Tampa's is 10th. Tampa has the better starting pitcher and the No. 7 bullpen.

The Astros have won 10 of their last 13 games and have an 87-48 record. Framber Valdez is having the best year of his career. He won all five of August's starts and is now 14-4 with a 2.63 ERA. Valdes has dominated Texas this season, but the Rangers hit well against left-handed pitchers.
