Two teams currently sitting in last place in their division — the Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays — will kick off a three-game series in Toronto on Monday. The White Sox have been better of late after starting the season 3-22, but Chicago is 0-7 in road series openers this season. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball this season.

With Erick Fedde and José Berríos on the mound, Action Network's Kevin Rogers is looking to fade both offenses. Click the link below to see his best bet for Monday's matchup.


Tigers vs. Royals

Somehow, someway, Detroit is 1-7 in Reese Olson starts this season despite his 2.09 ERA. The Tigers have been shutout in three of his starts and are averaging only 2.04 runs of support.

MLB betting analyst Mike Ianniello thinks that changes against Michael Wacha and the Royals on Monday.
