MLB roundup: White Sox halt Blue Jays’ 10-game winning streak

Guardians 7, Astros 5

A desperately needed jolt of late-inning offense helped Cleveland end a 10-game tailspin in Houston. After laying down sacrifice bunts in his first two plate appearances, Brayan Rocchio rifled an 0-2 slider for a two-run double that broke a 4-4 tie in the sixth. Cleveland’s bullpen slammed the door: Matt Festa limited the Astros to Victor Caratini’s solo shot, Paul Sewald and Hunter Gaddis posted spotless frames, and Emmanuel Clase sealed his 19th save. Houston had wiped out an early four-run hole on long balls by Taylor Trammell and Isaac Paredes, but finished the night 0-for-10 after Rocchio’s dagger. If you like backing road underdogs that can still manufacture runs late, study the fundamentals in this guide to betting baseball moneylines.

Brewers 3, Dodgers 2 (10 inn.)

Milwaukee completed a statement sweep when Jackson Chourio chopped Kirby Yates’ two-strike pitch into left for a walk-off single, capping a tense duel that featured just one extra-base hit combined through nine innings. The Brewers’ fourth straight win wasted Tyler Glasnow’s encouraging five-inning return from a shoulder injury, while Trevor Megill fanned three Dodgers in a hit-free 10th. For bettors who prefer tight games decided by the last swing, sharpening your approach to MLB run-line strategy can uncover value.

Yankees 9, Mariners 6

Jazz Chisholm Jr. punctuated his torrid summer with two no-doubt homers, and rookie Cam Schlittler held Seattle to three runs over 5 1⁄3 innings in his debut. New York produced five two-out RBIs, highlighted by Aaron Judge’s laser two-run double that chased Logan Evans in the fifth. J.P. Crawford and Jorge Polanco each went deep for Seattle, but the Mariners left nine men aboard. Wondering how to profit from slug-heavy matchups? Brush up on totals betting principles before the next Bronx fireworks show.

Blue Jays 8, White Sox 4

Toronto’s bid to match its franchise-record 11-game winning streak ended a day later, but in the opener Joey Loperfido, Nathan Lukes and Addison Barger all cleared the Guaranteed Rate Field fences to push the streak to nine. José Berríos mixed his curve and sinker masterfully, yielding one earned run in six frames. Chicago’s Colson Montgomery drew cheers in his home debut, yet Sean Burke surrendered back-to-back shots in the fifth that turned the game. Streak-riding bettors should revisit line-movement dynamics to gauge when hot teams still carry value.

Tigers 5, Rays 1

Colt Keith ripped a pair of ringing doubles and a towering homer, giving Detroit its fourth consecutive win and widening its AL-best cushion. Rookie call-up Keider Montero filled the zone, limiting Tampa Bay to one run over six innings. Javier Baez’s two-run blast off Shane Baz provided insurance before Zach McKinstry added late fireworks. Momentum may tempt bettors, but proper staking is crucial—review bankroll-management basics before chasing long winning streaks.

Royals 9, Pirates 3

Kansas City flexed its newfound power stroke with four homers—Bobby Witt Jr.’s two-run shot plus solo drives from Vinnie Pasquantino, Salvador Perez and Nick Loftin—to back rookie Noah Cameron’s career-best seven innings. Pittsburgh finally snapped a 30-inning scoring drought on Tommy Pham’s blast, but Andrew Heaney lasted only three frames. When offenses awaken, knowing how to bet MLB run totals in hitter-friendly parks can pay dividends.

Red Sox 10, Rockies 2

Fenway’s newest sparkplug, Roman Anthony, mashed his first home homer and logged his sixth multi-hit effort in nine games, pacing Boston’s 14-hit barrage. Lucas Giolito blanked Colorado for six innings—his sixth straight quality start—dropping his ERA to 1.40 over that span. Four different Red Sox left the yard, including eighth-inning shots by Ceddanne Rafaela and Romy Gonzalez. Planning ahead for October? Check out playoff betting keys while Boston heats up.

Diamondbacks 8, Padres 2

Geraldo Perdomo’s grand slam—Arizona’s league-leading ninth of the season—broke the game apart, while Brandon Pfaadt authored the best start of his career (8 IP, 4 H, 2 R). Manny Machado notched hit No. 2,000, then homered late, but Yu Darvish’s rusty three-walk return hurt the Padres.

Angels 11, Rangers 8

Mike Trout’s 29th multi-homer game—and Jorge Soler’s go-ahead blast in the eighth—highlighted an Anaheim slugfest.

When handicapping modest-line favorites, reference MLB playoff-style pitching angles to gauge bullpen edges.

Nationals 8, Cardinals 2
