4-Unit Play: Take 976 SEATTLE MARINERS Over TWINS (10:10pm E, Monday, June 14th) SEA: Gonzales. Twins: Maeda

Mariners need a big breakout win and they'll get it tonight off Maeda - Gonzales will keep the Twins at bay. Seattle will feed off their 6-2 win over Cleveland and Bieber (no one saw that coming) and the Twins will keep their lousy hitting and lousy defense going (after a 14-3 loss to the Astros). The Twins are starting to show us who they really are. Seattle BIG in the one.

5-Unit Play: Take 958 STL CARDINALS -1.5, RL, Over Miami (8:15pm E, Monday, June 14th) MIA: Garrett. STL: Wainwright.

The Cardinals were embarrassed last night and they'll take it out on the Marlins. Adam Wainwright is the perfect go-to guy when they need a win. Their bats were quiet last night, and when they did liven up, it was right at somebody. They'll play excellent fundamental baseball tonight and hit it hard against Garret. It'll be high-scoring and it may be all Cards.

5-Unit Play: Take 969 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5, RL Over White Sox (8:10pm E, Monday, June 14th) TB: Glasnow. White Sox: Lynn

Glasnow is about as good as they get and Lynn will get so flustered tonight, you'll see shades of red you've never seen before. The Rays will scatter the ball all over the field and you can also throw in a few balls that go yard and watch an easy Tampa Bay win. The form that brought them a Pennant will be on display tonight and there may be even a fight or two. Tonight will show you why they'll go deep into the 2021 tournament.

6-Unit Play: Take 954 NEW YORK METS -1.5, RL, Over CUBS (7:10pm E, Monday, June 14th) NYM: Peterson. CUB: Arrieta

Met's need to get back in their "smash em" form, as it's been lacking a little, lately. The Cubs are in a drought but still handled the Cardinals and last night was as boring as it gets. Look for New York to come right out of the gate aggressively, scoring, and scoring a lot. We won't be surprised if they reach double digits tonight and leave the Cubs in their wake. Wind is blowing out at 10 mph and LaGuardia may see some UFOs tonight. The Mets will win this one going away.

5-Unit Play: Take 911 STL CARDINALS +115 Over CUBS (7:08pm E, Sunday, June 13th) STL: Martinez. CUB: Davies.

The Cubs have had the Cardinals number lately. There's no other number they'd rather have, that's for sure. That all changes tonight. The Cardinals have had it and they'll prove it in, to them, what has been the very unfriendly confines of Wrigley Field. It'll be loud, but the Cards thrive on loud and we can already see that blood vessel in Molina's neck starting to bulge. He'll call a perfect game for Martinez and St. Louis' offense will light it up. Take the Cards say, 9-3 - somewhere in that vicinity.

4-Unit Play: Take 974 MINNESOTA TWINS Over ASTROS (7:15pm E, Saturday, June 12th) HOU: Garcia. MIN: Berrios

We know how good the Houston offense is. We also know how good Berrios is. We also know what a great SLUGGING team the Twins are. And with the wind blowing hard out to right, we like the Twins to start getting ready for Sunday's game about the 6th inning. The Twins should beat the Astros, oh somewhere around 7-4. Good Luck!

5-Unit Play: Take 951 COLORADO ROCKIES Over REDS (4:10pm E, Saturday, June 12th) COL: Marquez. CIN: Miley

We've done well with Colorado, going with them and against them, Usually against! Not today - they march up perfectly with Cincinnati. Blackmon has been on fire and we see the Rockies offense coming to life today (this won't happen often folks). We love the Reds and their offense, but watch out: today belongs to Colorado. Oh, and don't forget Marquez - he will shut the Reds offense down, which is a whale of a task

5-Unit Play: Take 967 TORONTO BLUE JAYS Over RED SOX (4:10pm E, Saturday, June 12th) TOR: Matz. BOS: Pivetta

We've (after watching a lot of their games and film) decided Toronto is one of the bstt teams in the league. Make that plural: one of the best teams in the leagues! Boston has been doing it with smoke and mirrors and just barely pulling through. Well, they could be in the house of mirrors, in the middle of a forest fire and that won't help them today. Jays are a great Slugging Team and the wind is blowing towards the Green Wall. We have two words for Boston today : Well, Bye!

5-Unit Play: Take 957 SAN DIEGO PADRES -1.5, RL, Over NY METS (4:10pm E, Saturday, June 12th) SD: Musgrove. NYM: Stroman

The Padres almost beat the best Mets there is, last night. With Musgrove on the mound for defense and those loud Padres bats for offense (with the wind blowing out to left) look for San Diego to score early and often. This offense will EXPLODE today - enjoy the and turn down the volume - those bats make a lot of noise.

6-Unit Play: Take 982 Washington Nationals Over SF GIANTS (2:05pm E, Saturday, June 12th) SF: Undecided. WAS: Fedde

Really? You're the San Francisco Giants and you're going to give one of the BEST slugging teams in the country +140 at home? NO WAY! Fedde is pitching awesome and what do we say about sluggers? We love them!. Nationals walk with this one (maybe literally - Gausman's control has been suspect.

5-Unit Play: Take 923 KANSAS CITY ROYALS Over OAKLAND (9:40pm E, Friday, June 11th) KC: Singer. OAK: Irvin

We don't take Kansas City on the road very often, but we like this matchup tonight. We kind of think Singer will out-pitch Irvin and, since KC has found their Royal sluggers, with the wind blowing out to right center at 11mph, We like the Royals to win this one and not by a little. Our System says they'll beat the A's by 4 or 5 runs. Sounds like a lot, but we'll see. Let's just say "A's" stands for "Another Time."

4-Unit Play: Take 907 SAN DIEGO PADRES Over METS (7:10pm E, Friday, June 11th) SD: Snell. NYM: deGrom.

Not many people in baseball get more press than Jacob deGrom - and well deserved, with a .62 ERA (yes, you read that right) and he has 93 strikeouts. However, Blake Snell is no slouch and he always seems to raise his level of play to his competition. But the Mets are facing the Padres and their hot, hot bats. They have really good eyes at the plate and they hit fastballs - and they hit 'em hard. No doubt deGrom and the Mets should be favored, but not by -165 to -170. We're always looking for value and this value is in our favor.

10-Unit Play: Take 914 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5, RL, Over ORIOLES (7:10pm E, Friday, June 11th) BAL: Akin. TB: Yarbrough

The Orioles have been impressive lately. They've put up some good numbers and beaten some teams - AT HOME. That's the key: AT HOME. The Rays Yarbrough has quietly become one of the best pitchers in the bigs and have we forgotten that the Rays won the AL Pennant last year? This is basically the same team and they are GOOD. We expect them to make mockery out of the Orioles tonight and send them home to roost with a handsome defeat, maybe somewhere around 6-2... And it shouldn't be that close.

4-Unit Play: Take 920 BOSTON RED SOX -1.5, RL, Over BLUE JAYS (7:10pm E, Friday, June 11th) TOR: Stripling. BOS: Richards

The Red Sox finally found their bats, yesterday, and we don't think they're going away for a while. Boston has Richards on the hill and he's going against a seemingly struggling Stripling. Typically, we'd take the Jays in this spot, but since the Red Sox are swinging the bats so well, along with the confidence that brings, and playing at home, and the wind blowing towards that big Green Monster again, we think Boston may just run away with this one. Let's win this one big, then have a tea party.

4-Unit Play: Take 916 DETROIT TIGERS Over WHITE SOX (7:10pm E, Friday, June 11th) CHW: Giolito. DET: Skubal

Who would have guessed that the Tigers are pulling themselves back into the hunt? If anyone can go against Giolito and win, it's Skubal and man, are the Tiger's bats starting to growl. Albeit just a little luck, we called the score with the Tigers over Seattle yesterday and although we're not going to go score predicting in this one, we do think they've amassed enough confidence to beat the White Sox, this first game of the series. They may not win as easily as yesterday, but our System says they should win.

4-Unit Play: Take 960 MIAMI MARLINS -1.5, RL, Over ROCKIES (7:10pm E, Thursday, June 10th) COL: Gonzales. MIA: Rogers.

This game shouldn't even be on the board, in our opinion, except that Gonzales will give the Rockies a breath of a chance, even at sea level - just a breath. We know when to take the Rockies and when not to - this is NOT one of those times. Look for Rogers to completely shut down the Colorado bats and, by the 5th inning, look for the Marlins and Colorado to be on Rocky Mountain Highs, although two, very different ones. Miami swims away with this one.

4-Unit Play: Take 964 BOSTON RED SOX -1.5, RL, Over HOUSTON (7:10pm E, Thursday, June 10th) HOU: Greinke. BOS: Rodriguez.

Houston has, pretty much, had their way with Boston. Man, have they poured on the offense, but we see a different outcome, tonight. We expect Boston to play "Get Even" with the Stros and show off a little "O" of their own. Houston's pitcher Greinke can get rattled and when he does, he looks like a little kid who wants to take his baseball and go home. We think you'll side tonight, as the Red Sox slam ball after ball off the Green Monster, with the wind blowing that way and Boston pushing the "Revenge" button.

5-Unit Play: Take 962 DETROIT TIGERS -1.5, RL, Over MARINERS (1:10pm E, Thursday, June 10th) SEA: Sheffield. DET: Alexander.

The Detroit Tigers have been surprising a lot of people lately. Not us - we love their defense, their offense, and especially their slugging. The Mariners are becoming the team they were supposed to be ("They are who we thought they were!") and Detroit is playing damn good baseball. They have it all. Who would've guessed? Us! Look for the Tigers, at home this afternoon, to beat up on Seattle in what shouldn't be a super high scoring game. We're going to predict something like, 8-3. Cash in, on this one. By the way, they just announced Alexander as their pitcher and lines haven't caught up, yet. The line, at many places, has already shown Run Line prices, but if not yet at your place yet,, as soon as it does, grab it. It definitely will, but the Run Line value will diminish throughout the day, so grab it as fast as you can, to get the best value.

6-Unit Play: Take 954 CINCINNATI REDS Over BREWERS (12:35pm E, Thursday, June 10th) MIL: Peralta. CIN: Castillo.

As we predicted, the Reds showed off their powerful offense last night and we feel they will again tonight. Brewers pitcher, Peralta, is an excellent pitcher, but the Cincinnati bats are a challenge for anyone. With Votto back (big plus!) and Castillo on the mound, we have a hard time understanding why the Reds are underdogs. The guy at the window will probably be thinking the same thing at about 1:30pm. Oh well, let's win this going away.

6-Unit Play: Take 908 CINCINNATI REDS Over BREWERS (7:10pm E, Wednesday, June 9th) MIL: Anderson. CIN: Guitiererrez.

The Reds were blindsided last night, both with an impressive defensive showing by the Brewers (you hold the Reds to 1 run in Cincinnati, you've done something) and with the injury to one of the league's best pitchers, Sonny Gray, they were a little concerned. That goes away tonight, with Guitierrez on the mound and we expect this offensive power team to show it all off tonight. We don't know what it takes to convince folks that the Reds have one of the best offensive teams in baseball, but tonight will go a long way. We expect a solid victory by the home team tonight and the Brewers' bats should be kept at bay. Oh, yeah, and Joe Votto should be starting tonight for the Reds - Welcome back, JV!

5-Unit Play: Take 904 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -1.5, RL, Over BRAVES (7:05pm E, Wednesday, June 9th) ATL: Davidson. PHI: Eflin.

Enter the great rivalry between the Phillies and the Braves. The Phillies are a very good team, this year, as are the Braves and this is a perfect evening to lock onto the hometeam, after a 9-5 loss to the Braves, last night. Eflin is a go-to guy for the Phillies, one of the best pitchers in the league and we think this is a perfect time to pick up some $$$ with him. No doubt Tucker Davidson and his 2.31 ERA (on the mound for the Braves) is a terrific pitcher, but we like the Phillies' bats to get to him early and hopefully knock him out by the 5th inning.

4-Unit Play: Take 926 BALTIMORE ORIOLES Over METS (7:05pm E, Wednesday, June 9th) BAL: Harvey. NYM: Walker.

The Baltimore Orioles just continue to impress, after coming off of that 15-game losing streak. We like them to feed, again, off last night's 10-3 win over the Mets. Up and down the lineup, they don't look overwhelmingly impressive, but they get it done, time and time, again. General intellect would, of course, lean towards Walker and his 2.13 ERA, over Matt Harvey and his 6.62, but many stats can be thrown out the window with what the birds have been doing, since that streak. Matt Harvey has been a go-to guy for years and always seems to impress when they need him. Take Baltimore, again as an underdog, to notch the victory against the Mets and continue their surprising play.

5-Unit Play: Take 924 OAKLAND A'S -1.5, RL, Over DIAMONDBACKS (3:37pm E, Wednesday, June 9th) ARI: Peacock. OAK: Manaea.

Oakland, at home, Manaea on the mound, wind blowing almost straight out at about 14 mph, in a day game, all leads to, what we think is going to be an A's blowout. Diamondback's Peacock is a good pitcher in his own right, with his 4.41 ERA, but he's going against one of the best slugging teams in baseball and that 4.41, we think, will turn into a 9.41 ERA, before the 5th inning is through. Oakland, on a day where pop flies turn into 3 run homers should score a bushel of runs and win this one going away.

4-Unit Play: Take 924 Oakland/Arizona "OVER" (3:37pm E, Wednesday, June 9th) ARI:Peacock. OAK: Manaea.

For the reasons stated in the above play, we think this should be a high-scoring game and we think the A's will cover 8.5 Runs by themselves. This is what we like to call a, "Cover Play." We are "Covering" the play above, since the wind is blowing out at 14-15 mph, lots of sluggers out there today, etc. By, "Covering," we mean that just in case the Diamondbacks start putting good wood on the ball and score more runs than we expect, our System shows the odds are that there will be a lot of runs and the chances of winning both plays are good and the chances of losing both plays are very low. We expect to win both of them and we definitely don't expect to lose both, so we're covering the side play, just in case.

4-Unit Play: Take 962 DETROIT TIGERS -1.5, RL, Over SEATTLE (7:10pm E, Tuesday, June 8th) SEA: Gonzales. DET: Boyd

The Tigers have been showing us a team we didn't expect this year, and the Mariners are beginning to play EXACTLY like we expected. Matthew Boyd and his 3.90 ERA (he's really even better than that) will take it to Marco Gonzales and his 5.01. Tigers are really swinging the bats well and you look for a blowout tonight, once those bats warm up. Look for Jonathon Schoop to put some numbers up tonight. We love the Tigers in this one.

4-Unit Play: Take 958 MIAMI MARLINS -1.5, RL, Over ROCKIES (7:10pm E, Tuesday, June 8th) COL: Senzatela. MIA: LOPEZ

We've said it many times before, but there are only a few spots where we'll like the Rockies, this year, and this isn't one of them. Colorado is in a big rebuilding year and the Marlins are just beginning to come around. They are REALLY becoming a good ballclub and a hard club to beat. With Lopez on the mound, look for them to take this one easily.

4-Unit Play: Take 956 CINCINNATI REDS -1.5, RL, Over BREWERS (7:10pm E, Tuesday, June 8th) MIL: Houser. CIN: Gray

The Reds have found themselves. They are one of the best offensive teams in the bigs and, man, do they love to show it off to teams who have beaten up on them in the past. With Sonny Gray on the hill a team that just won't quit on offense, you can expect a lot out of them this year, but we love them tonight. The Brewers are going to run into a buzzsaw at 7:10 tonight and we're all over the Reds and watch it happen!

4-Unit Play: Take 963 HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5, RL, Over BOSTON (7:10pm E, Tuesday, June 8th) HOU: Valdez. BOS: PEREZ

The Astros have come alive, of late, and are playing like the team they were expected to be. Framber Valdez and his 1.64 ERA will stop the Red Sox in their tracks tonight and let Yuli Gurriel and the rest of that powerhouse offense bring them another win. We like the Sox in only certain places this year. They got up for the Yankee series, but we like Houston to bring them back to earth tonight.

4-Unit Play: Take 972 BALTIMORE ORIOLES Over METS (7:05pm E, Tuesday, June 8th) NYM: Peterson. BAL: Zimmerman

Baltimore, ever since that 15-game losing streak has been playing like a top 5 club. Everything seems to be falling into place and both pitching and hitting are where any ballclub wants them to be. Mets on a long road trip and they have to be tired. We like Baltimore to take this one, with Zimmerman on the mound.

4-Unit Play: Take 960 STL CARDINALS -1.5 RL, OVER CINCINNATI (8:15pm E, Friday, June 4th) CIN: Castillo. STL: KIM

The Cardinals let one get away last night, but we don't see that happening with Kim and his 3.65 ERA on the hill tonight. The Red Birds should be able to pile up some hits against Castillo's 7.22 ERA and having some friendly noise in Busch stadium won't hurt, either. Look for the Cards to jump on the Reds early and often and fly away with this one.

10-Unit Play: Take 968 BALTIMORE ORIOLES OVER CLEVELAND (7:05pm, E, Friday, June 4th) CLE: Mejia. BAL: Akin.

Baltimore is playing like a new team since they found their way out of that 15-game losing streak. For a while, it looked like they'd never win again. Now it seems everything is going their way. With Akin on the mound and fans in the stadium, they have something to prove. The Indians are coming in thinking this is a lock - they'd better watch their locks - they just might get tomahawked by the time this night is over.

4-Unit Play: Take 954 PITTSBURGH PIRATES Over MIAMI (7:05pm E, Friday, June 4th) MIA: Poteet. PIT: Keller

This is another one of those "Gotcha" games, if you're not careful. The Marlins look like the easy pick, here with Poteet and his 2.95 ERA on the hill against Keller and his 6.54. Looks easy, doesn't it? Remember, in sports betting, in most cases, if it looks too good to be true, it usually is. There's a reason the Marlins are in a 6-game losing streak and that enstows much needed confidence in the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pirates will give them all they want and don't be surprised if they force Miami to walk the plank, before it's over.

5-Unit Play: Take 952 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -1.5 RL Over NATIONALS (7:05pm E, Friday, June 4th) WAS: Scherzer. PHI: Wheeler.

At first look, you'd definitely lean towards the Washington Nationals on this play. Scherzer doesn't lose very often, but he doesn't play a solid, hungry Philly team, with Wheeler on the mound very often, either. Believe it or not, Wheeler is just a few ticks higher on the ERA map than Scherzer and the Philly bats are really good this year. Don't be surprised if they swat the Nats and get to Scherzer early.

5-Unit Play: Take 908 STL CARDINALS -1.5, RL, +135 Over REDS (8:15pm E, Thursday, June 3rd) STL: Wainwright. CIN: Gutierrez.

The Cardinals are happy to be back home and definitely out of La La Land. Look for Adam Wainwright to be just what the doctor ordered against Gutierrez for the Reds. This should be a relatively high scoring game and, although the Reds have good hitters, the Cards have great sluggers and you know how much we love sluggers, especially in a big park. Take the Cards to win their first game in this series at Busch.

4-Unit Play: Take MINNESOTA TWINS +105 Over ROYALS (8:10pm E, Thursday, June 3rd) MIN: Happ. KC: Bubic.

The Minnesota Twins just lost two games to the Baltimore Orioles, who were on a 15 game losing streak! How do you think that makes a good team feel? The Twins bats will be hot today and Happ will flat shut down any semenence of a Royals offense. Royals' Bubic is not the guy for the Twins. Look for a high scoring game with the Twins coming out on top. We wish this would move to the Run Line, because we think they'll beat them handily.

4-Unit Play: Take 924 COLORADO ROCKIES -1.5, RL, +150 Over TEXAS (3:10pm, E, Thursday, June 3rd) TEX: Foltynewicz. Colorado: Gomber.

You won't see us Run Lining the Rockies much this year, as they're in a rebuilding year and are not looking great. However, they have been hitting the ball better and they'd like to take their frustrations out on someone. The Rangers are the perfect someone. Gomber will out pitch Foltynewicz and the Rockies will hit and slug their way to a high-scoring victory in the high country.

4-Unit Play: Take 902 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, +145 Over NATIONALS (12:20pm E, Thursday, June 3rd) WAS: Corbin. ATL: Davidson

We're not big fans of Patrick Corbin and his 6.23 ERA, but we do like Tucker Davidson and we (we've said it a million times) REALLY like the Braves' offense and especially their energy. Look for the Braves to walk away with this one and knock Corbin out in 5 innings. The Braves are going to go a long way this year!

4-Unit Play: Take 959 STL Cardinals Over LA DODGERS (9:10pm, E, Wednesday, June 2nd)

Cardinals are too good of a team to be giving 2-1 to. Dodgers are great, but the Cardinals are not playing bad ball and with Martinez on the mound and Buehler giving up home runs, anything can happen, so we'll take the value with Cardinals. They should hang with them all night.

4-Unit Play: Take 966 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL Over TB RAYS (7:05pm E, Wednesday, June 2nd) TB: McClanahan. NYY: Montgomery.

With the monkey off their back, watch the Bronx Bombers go to work today. Montgomery will hold Tampa Bay down, while Judge, Stanton (who sat out Tuesday), and Torres (also sat out Tuesday), come to life and make a distant memory out of that 4-game losing streak. Their offense has looked like the Lady Yanks the past couple of weeks, but it's amazing what one game can do to the confidence and the Rays have been just a little too cocky. Yanks take this one and take the cockiness out on them!

4-Unit Play: Take 956 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS -1.5, RL Over METS (3:40pm E, Wednesday, June 2nd) ARI: Bumgarner. NYM: Stroman

How do you put the 20-36 Arizona Diamondbacks and the word "streaking" in the same sentence? What, are they playing without uniforms? No, we're talking about the D-Backs, Pavin Smith and his 12-Game Hit Streak. With their bats warming up and Madison Bumgarner on the mound, the Mets will be held at bay, while the Backs 1 and 2 run them to death all day. Take the Backs and Madison in this one.

4-Unit Play: Take 954 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, Over PADRES (2:20pm E, Wednesday, June 2nd) CUB: Alzolay. SD: Lamet.

The Cubbies just barely got by the Padres yesterday which messed up our Run Line Play, but they had their chances. We think they'll take advantage of them today. Hendricks pitched an excellent game and we expect the same out of Alzolay and his 3.81 today. Padres are on a 3 game skid. What better place to make it 4, than in the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field. These are not your Grandfather's Cubs!

4-Unit Play: Take 978 KANSAS CITY ROYALS -1.5, RL, Over PIRATES (8:10pm E, Monday, May 31st,) KC: Minor. PIT: Kuhl

Pirates' pitcher Chad Kuhl, 0-1, with few starts this year, takes on solid Royals' pitcher, Mike Minor, 3-2 with a 4.83 ERA. The Royals need a blowout win and what better spot than at home, against the weak Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates had a hard time scoring enough runs against the hapless Rockies - we think they'll REALLY struggle against the Royals. The Royals' bats should light up Memorial Day.

4-Unit Play: Take 956 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, Over NATIONALS (5:10pm E, Monday, May 31st) WAS: Ross. ATL: Morton

The Braves at home with Charlie Morton on the mound - it doesn't get much better than that - and rested after a postponed game last night. The Braves are one of our favorite offensive teams this year and we definitely like them at home tonight. Not only are they good hitters, they are great baserunners, with a ton of energy and create havoc for opposing pitchers. Look for them to beat up on the Nats, today!

4-Unit Play: Take 964 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, Over RAYS (1:05pm E, Monday, May 31st) NYY: Tallion. TB: Hill

It's rare when the Yankees lose three games in a row, but when they have, and they're coming back home (today), these are times they usually explode. With the wind blowing out towards the left field porch at 7-8 mph, look for a lot of runs in this game and most of them by the Yanks. They don't take losing very well and their paybacks are hell.

4-Unit Play: Take 963 RAYS/YANKEES "OVER" (1:05pm E, Monday, May 31st) NYY: Tallion. TB: HILL

As mentioned above, two very good hitting teams, the Yanks with a chip on their shoulder after losing three straight, and the wind blowing out to right, this should be a high-scoring game and we don't see 8.5 runs lasting too long in this game.

4-Unit Play: Take 910 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS +105 Over CARDINALS (4:10pm E, Sunday, May 30th) STL: KIM. ARI: PEACOCK

We understand it's not easy taking the Diamondbacks against the Cardinals, but they will pull out a win today. Peacock and his 4.50 ERA will strut his stuff up and down the Cardinals lineup. Arizona is a much better team than they've shown the last 12 games and, speaking of 12 games, they've lost all of them. Look for 13 to be their lucky number and bring out a victory against St. Louis today.

BEST OF LUCK!

5-Unit Play: Take 906 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, +175 Over REDS (2:20pm E, Sunday, May 30th) CUBS: Arrieta. REDS: Mahle.

Jake Arrieta takes his miniscule 1.27 ERA against Tyler Mahle's 3.58. Folks, if we could, we'd release a lot more units on this game, than 5. The Cubs are playing great ball on both sides and Cincinnati is just trying to hang in there and hope something happens. We don't see it against Arrieta. If Rizzo happens to play today (which we guess he will) count this game as a win, right now. Cubs win again, BIG!

4-Unit Play: Take 928 TB RAYS -1.5, RL, +160 Over PHILLIES (1:10am E, Sunday, May 30th) PHI: Eflin. TB: McHugh.

The Tampa Bay Rays are just playing great baseball. Zach Eflin takes the mound against Collin McHugh in a game that should produce more runs than yesterday. The Phillies are a really good team, but the Rays are playing as well as anyone in baseball, on both sides of the ball. We like the Tampa Bay Rays to back up yesterday's win, with another strong showing today.

4-Unit Play: Take 901 MILWAUKEE BREWERS +105 Over NATIONALS (1:05pm E, Sunday, May 30th) MIL: Woodruff. WAS: Scherzer.

Why can't Woodruff get any love? We all know how good Scherzer is, but Woodruff has practically half the ERA (1.41 to 2.27) and the Brewers are finally the team we thought they were going to be. Take the Brewers to feed off yesterday's 4-1 win and take the Nationals down again, today!

10-Unit Play: Take 978 BOSTON RED SOX -1.5, RL Over MARLINS (4:10pm E, Saturday, May 29th) BOS: Eovaldi. MIA: Rogers Nobody likes facing Boston's Eovaldi, but especially in this weather. Just like yesterday, wind will be blowing in at over 15, drizzle to rain predicted, and a wet field. Red Sox had no problem with it yesterday, we just wish (for our 7-Unit Play) it could have gone 8.5 innings. Boston is hitting the ball well and doing all the right things to win games, big. We think you'll see one today.

4-Unit Play: Take 952 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, Over CINCINNATI (2:20pm E, Saturday, May 29th) CUBS: Davies. REDS: Castillo Cubs won the game yesterday, but needed one more run to cover our Run Line. They almost got it in the 7th and 8th, with a foul ball (just foul) and a shot 4-feet from the wall. We think they will today. Same conditions: wind blowing in and temp in the mid-50s. We think the Cubbies will adjust to their park better than the Reds and we'll take Davies on the mound. Watch the Cubs get by the Reds by quite a few today - the value is too good to pass up. We just hope Rizzo plays. He didn't play yesterday and is questionable today, with a tight back. This isn't the type of weather to loosen it up. They should handle them, even without him.

4-Unit Play: Take 965 ORIOLES/WHITE SOX "OVER" (2:10pm E, Saturday, May 29th) BAL: Harvey. CHW: Keuchel 6.5 Runs is just too low for these two teams, especially the way Chicago has been hitting. They can put up 6.5 in the first 5 innings. Mercedes is a beast and there's no let up, up and down the lineup. Yes, the two pitchers are good, but even in 7 innings, we like the White Sox and Orioles to put up some numbers.

4-Unit Play: Take 976 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5, RL, Over PHILLIES (1:10pm E, Saturday, May 29th) PHI: Wheeler. TB: Yarbrough

With Tampa Bay having the best record in the league and Yarbrough and his 4.31 ERA and Philadelphia with a litany of injuries, Wheeler had better go 6 innings plus, because if they go to their lousy bullpen too early, they could be in trouble. Yes, Wheeler is a very good pitcher, but we feel that makes it a wash, maybe slightly favors the Rays. So we'll take the value of almost 2-1 odds, any day on a game like this. Light it up Rays!

4-Unit Play: Take 910 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS -1.5, Over STL CARDINALS (9:40pm E, Friday, May 28th) STL: Oviedo. AZ: Bumgarner

Madison Bumgarner is just what the doctor ordered to bring an end to the Diamondbacks' 11-game losing streak. The Cardinals counter with Johan Oviedo, who is 0-2 this season. The main job for Bumgarner is going to be to keep Nolan Arenado and Javier Molina off the base pads. He does that and Arizona should score enough early for them to be able to run away with this one.

4-Unit Play: Take 918 MINNESOTA TWINS -1.5, RL over ROYALS (8:10pm E, Friday, May 28th) Twins: Dobnak, Royals: Bubic

The Royals roll into Minnesota to take on the Twins, who have finally found their bats. Their slugging percentage is 4th in the League at .424, led by Nelson Cruz (big surprise) with a slugging percentage of .524. Twins should handle struggling KC, as they're catching the Royals at a time when they can really steamroll them.

10-Unit Play: Take 926 BOSTON RED SOX Over MIAMI (7:10pm E, Friday, May 28th) Boston: Perez. Miami: Poteet

The Boston Red Sox 30-20 this season and the Miami Marlins are 24-26 and both pitchers have good ERAs. That tells us a lot, but let's dig a little deeper. You know how much we like slugging, in our predictions and this is a good one: The Red Sox are slugging .445 to lead the Major Leagues, led by Rafael Devers, with 29 extra base hits and 14 home runs. We like Boston to run away with this first game of the series.

4-Unit Play: Take 902 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5 RL Over REDS (2:20pm E, Friday, May 28th) Cubs: Alzolay. Reds: Gutierrez

The Cubs are coming home after a red hot road trip and the friendly confines of Wrigley Field are just what they need to keep that momentum and blow out the Reds. They got a little lucky in Pittsburgh yesterday, but they shouldn't need any luck today. If Kris Bryant continues his good hitting and Alzolay can the wind blowing in at 21 can keep Jesse Winker in the ballpark, the Cubbies should walk away with this one.

5-Unit Play: Take 962 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS Over CARDINALS (9:40pm E, Thursday, May 27th) Cards: Martinez. Diamondbacks: Peacock.

Carlos Martinez brings his 4.18 ERA against Matt Peacock and his 4.50 ERA. General intellect would say take the Cards, here, but not so fast. The Diamondbacks are 0-10, their last 10 games and are happy to be back home and can't wait to take on the Cardinals and Matt Peacock is anxious to strut his stuff on the mound. Look for just a few hits from the Cards and Arizona, finally, will put some runs on the board.

4-Unit Play: Take 985 REDS/NATIONALS "OVER" (7:05pm E, Thursday, May 27th) Reds: Gray. Nats: Strasburg.

Once again, this is too low of a number to pass up. These two teams, even with quality pitchers against them, have offenses that are too good, not to take the over. Yes, Gray is one of the best pitchers in the National League and Strasburg is right there, too - always has been, but (once again) 6 runs? These two teams should have 6 by the 5th inning. Our money's going on the over.

4-Unit Play: Take CUBS/PITTSBURGH "OVER" (6:36pm E, Wednesday, May, 26th) CUBS: WILLIAMS. PITTSBURGH: CROWE. If you watched the Pirates against the Cubs, last night, you know why we're taking the over tonight. Both teams are hitting the ball well, up and down the lineup. They just couldn't get anybody in last night. You'll see a different story tonight against Williams and Crow. Take the over - it should be a high-scoring game.

4-Unit Play: Take 918 LA Angels -1.5, RL Over TEXAS (4:07pm E, Wednesday, Wednesday, May 26th) Angels: Canning. Texas: Dunning Time for Canning and his 5.56 ERA to turn things around against Dunning and 3.74 ERA. It's also time for the Angels to start hitting. We say it'll be tonight and the Rangers are the perfect team to take it out on. Look for their bats come the Angels to blow someone out for a change.

4-Unit Play: Take 926 White Sox-1.5, RL, Over CARDINALS (2:10pm, E, Wednesday, May, 26th) WHITE SOX: RODON, CARDINALS: GANT. John Gant is a good pitcher with a 2.07 ERA, but he can't compete with Carlos Rodon's 1.27 ERA and the Cardinals can't compete with the White Sox bats. Take the White Sox on the Run Line to beat the Cards by more than 2 runs and we think, more than that.

4: Units: Take 957 ROCKIES/ METS "OVER" 6 RUNS (7:10pm, E, Tuesday, May 25th)  Rockies: Freeland. Mets: de Grom.

Once again, we're not letting a total, this low, get away. 6.5 yesterday (which they didn't get to) and now, because de Grom is pitching it's 6? We'll definitely take our chances with 6, we don't care who's on the mound. If you're going to play the percentages, and you ever see a total of 6, TAKE IT!!!

4-Units: Take 956 WASHINGTON NATIONALS -1.5, RL, +110 Over REDS (7:05pm, E, Tuesday, May 25th) Reds: Mahle. Nationals: Scherzer

What is there to say, except one of the best pitchers on the planet, Scherzer, is going against a good player on the planet, Mahle. Scherzer with his 2.24 ERA and Mahle with his 4.00 ERA. Nationals have a better hitting team, a better slugging team, and oh yeah, a pitcher that, every year he plays, has a good chance of winning the Cy Young. Any questions? Take Washington to walk away, briskly, from the Reds, in this one.

4-Units: Take NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, +105 Over TORONTO (7:05pm E, Tuesday, May 25th) Yankees: Kluber. Blue Jays: Matz.

The Blue Jays' confidence has got to be in shambles after the series against the Rays and NOW they have to go play the Yankees in New York? That can't help. Maybe they can stop and play a high school team on the way to bump their spirits. Yanks don't like the Jays much, either, so that doesn't help. New York walks away with this one - chalk up another win in the Bronx!

4-Units: Take 952 PITTSBURGH PIRATES/CHICAGO CUBS "OVER" (6:35pm E, Tuesday, May 25th) Cubs: Arrieta. Pirates: Ponce

Nothing much can get the Pirates motivated, this year, except maybe the Cubbies coming to town. Arrieta is an excellent pitcher, but Pittsburgh will hit, in this game, and protect their home turf and Chicago knows how to score runs, especially against Ponce. With the temperature in the mid-80s and the wind blowing out at 10 mph, this should go over quickly.

5-Unit Play: Take 916 CHICAGO WHITE SOX -1.5, RL, Over STL CARDINALS (8:10pm, E, Monday, May 24th) White Sox: Lynn. Cardinals: Kim The Cardinals bats have really cooled off, lately, as they let the Cubs beat them 2-1 last night in St. Louis! The White Sox are glad to be home and should put some runs on the board this evening, even against the very good Cardinals pitcher, Kim - the Sox are a VERY dangerous team. Kim has only a 2.73 ERA, but Lance Lynne has only a 1.55 ERA and if there is one team Lynn likes to beat, it's the St. Louis Cardinals! With that incentive and the hot White Sox's bats, they should easily get by the Cardinals tonight.

4-Unit Play: Take 906 MILWAUKEE BREWERS -1.5, RL, Over PADRES (7:40pm E, Monday May 24th) Milwaukee: Woodruff. Padres: Snell. Two really good pitchers on the mound today: Blake Snell for the Padres and his 3.79 ERA and Brandon Woodruff and his 1.58 ERA, but it looks like the Brewers are swinging the bats better. Woodruff has been almost unhittable this year, so they won't have to score too many to walk away from the Padres. Grab a cold one and watch the Brewers thump the Padres.

4-Unit Play: Take 903 ROCKIES/METS "OVER" (7:10pm E, Monday, May 24th) Rockies: Gomber. Mets: Undecided. The Mets haven't decided, firmly, who they're going to start tonight, but it may be Peterson. Honestly, we don't care who starts for them. With the wind blowing out to left field at 10 mph and the Mets starting to hit the ball much better after the hiring of Pitching Coach, Hugh Quattlebaum, they should reach this total by themselves. They needed to start hitting and he seems to be the answer. Once again, we don't understand that low "total" number, but we'll take it.

4-Unit Play: Take 907 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5, RL, Over Blue Jays (1:07pm E, Monday, May 24th) Rays: Yarbrough. Jays: Stripling. Tampa Bay is riding a 10-game winning streak and the Blue Jays are on a 5-game losing streak. Two teams, at the moment, going in opposite directions. The Rays have Ryan Yarbrough on the mound, with his 4.24 ERA and the Blue Jays counter with Ross Stripling and his 7.20 ERA. The Jays' pitching staff is in disarray and if you watched the game yesterday and saw the way Tampa Bay scored 4 runs in the ninth, to take a 2-run lead, you know why. We like the Rays to feed off that momentum and score early and often today.

10-Unit Play: Take 928 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES +105 Over BOSTON (7:15pm E, Saturday, May 22nd)

On paper, it looks like Boston should beat the Phillies easily. Howard has twice the ERA than Eovaldi and the Phillies are coming into this game on a 3-game losing streak. The latter is exactly why the Phillies win today: 1st (and this not very scientific, we understand): When it comes to sports betting, if it looks too good to be true, it usually is. And 2nd (these are the real reasons): these teams don't like one another and Philadelphia is a tough place to play any sport. Look for Bryce Harper to explode, today, and bump up his .524 Slugging Percentage and add a few to his 15 extra base hits. He may even, possibly, add a couple to his 7 home runs. Also, look for Andrew McCutcheon, at lead off, to have a great day (he is WAY underrated). The Phillies will break their losing streak in a big way today (Philadelphia fans might insurrect, if they don't!). PHILLIES WIN BIG!!

4-Unit Play: Take 911 CHICAGO CUBS Over STL CARDINALS (7:15pm E, Saturday, May 22nd)

Cubs wailed on the Cards yesterday, 12-3. Common sense would say take the Cards at home today, as the Cubs will let down a little. The answer is "No, they won't." This is one of the great rivalries in baseball and the Cubs (who are a better team than the Cards) don't need anything to get them up for St. Louis, especially when they're about to take 1st place in the division from them. Mike Mikolas is NOT the answer for the Cardinals. in 2019 he had over 16% of his balls leave the park and he's coming back for the first time in 1.5 years, after surgery. Look for the Cubs to score early and often. Cubs go up 2-0 in a 4-game series!

4-Unit Play: Take 918 KANSAS CITY ROYALS -1.5, RL, Over DETROIT (4:10pm E, Saturday, May 22nd)

Detroit slid by the Royals last night, but that won't happen tonight. Regardless of ERAs, the Royals have a solid bullpen and, just in case Singer gets in trouble (we don't think he will), he has good backups. The Royals have not hit many home runs this year, but look for that to change today with the wind blowing out to left at over 10 mph.

4-Unit Play: Take 914 NY YANKEES -1.5, RL, Over White Sox (1:05pm E, Saturday, May 22nd)

We all know what happened to Garrett Cole in his last outing: the Rangers knocked him out early. Yes, the Texas Rangers beat up on the Yankees and took it out on Cole. That won't happen today. One of the best pitchers in baseball (#2 barely behind Jacob DeGrom) will turn things around - we guarantee you he's been looking for a way to get that taste out of his mouth. He will today and the Yankees will explode with runs.

4-Unit Play: Take 974 LA ANGELS -1.5, RL, OVER OAKLAND A'S (9:38pm E, Friday, May 21st) Oakland's Kaprielian and his 1.80 ERA against the Angels' Quintana and his 8.53 ERA. This looks easy, right? 1.80 against 8.53? No, it's not that easy. The Angels are back to hitting the ball well and they can't wait to bring those hot bats home and show them to their fans. Forget the pitching numbers - this one is going the Angels' way and it's not if, it's how many!

4-Unit Play: Take 957 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, Over STL CARDINALS (8:15pm E, Friday, May 21st) One of the great rivalries in all of baseball. The 1st place Cards against the 2nd place Cubs. Cubs' pitcher, Hendricks, is making the ball move and dance, like never before and the Cubs would love to take this series and flip things around. That's not going to be easy, but we sure like them winning tonight. Look for the Cubs to come out hot, feeding off yesterday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

4-Unit Play: Take 953 MILWAUKEE BREWERS -1.5, RL, OVER CINCINNATI REDS (7:10pm E, Friday, May 21st) The Brewers are playing much better baseball than the Reds, right now. It's not that they're that much better than the Reds, they're in last place in their division, for criminy - it's just that, with injuries to a few of the Reds' best players and Houser against Hoffman on the mound, we see them dominating this game, if not the series. The Reds and their powerful offense will get going, someday, but the question is when - we sure don't think it'll be tonight.

4-Unit Play: Take 964 NY YANKEES Over WHITE SOX (7:05pm E, Friday, May 21st) Typically, with a pitcher like Carlos Rodon, with a 1.47 ERA against Jordan Montgomery and his 4.75 ERA - It would be a no-brainer to take the White Sox, but when it's the Yankees coming back home, hungry for a win, with bats just aching to light things up, you think twice. The pinstripers and their fans don't care how hot Chicago has been - they're going to win.

4-Unit Play: Take 975 HOUSTON ASTROS over Oakland (9:40pm E, Wednesday, May 19th)

The Astros, after leading last night's game, for most of it, let it get away and it got away from us, too. Greinke is just the person Houston needs to shut down Oakland's offense and feel a little better about themselves, tonight. Altuve has a 12 game hitting streak and he'll keep that going tonight against Montas and his 4.93 ERA. Look for Houston to run away from the A's tonight.

4-Unit Play: Take 974 LA ANGELS -1.5, RL, Over INDIANS (8:07pm E, Wednesday, May 19th)

The Angel lost a game they should have won, last night, and they plan to make up for it in a big way tonight. They have one of the best teams in the bigs and one of their best pitchers, Heaney, let Cleveland off the hook last night. Tonight they have Ohtani (probably the player in the MLB) going against Civale. Ohtani is a freak of nature: he throws 100 mph and has 10 homers. The Indians would rather face ANYONE but him. Look for the Angels to put their wings on tonight and ride Ohtani to an easy win!

4-Unit Play: Take 954 CINCINNATI REDS Over Giants (6:40pm E, Wednesday, May 19th

The Reds have had it with the Giants. Cincinnati is a very good offensive team and really supposed to be at home. They haven't shown it in this series against the Giants. The wind is blowing in, at the All American Ballpark, today, but expect the Reds to still put up crooked numbers today. You have Miley against Gausman and his 1.85 ERA, but watch that ERA move up a few points today. Look for the Reds to dominate this game and finish off this series with a bang!

4-Unit Play: Take 966 MINNESOTA TWINS Over WHITE SOX (1:10pm E, Wednesday, May 19th)

Twins are frustrated with the White Sox (they want to win ALL their home games against Chicago). They picked up a win, yesterday, with Ober filling in for Pineda, but that doesn't make them happy - they REALLY want a win, today - they're a good ballclub. With Shoemaker on the mound, for Minnesota against Giolito for the Sox and both with their high ERAs, look for a high-scoring game, with the good-hitting and slugging Twins coming out on top.

4-Unit Play: Take 964 TEXAS RANGERS Over NY YANKEES (8:05pm, E, Monday, May 17th)

Rangers over the Yankees, really? Yep! But it's hard to take the Rangers against anyone. We know, but if you're going to, now is the time. There is a lot of anxiety in the Yankee's clubhouse, due to spreading Covid, even after all have been vaccinated. Add the solid Rangers' pitcher, Lyles to that equation, and we have underdog numbers we can't pass up. Yes, even with Cole on the mound for the pinstripes. We expect a high-scoring affair and +240 is just too good to pass up when a game can, basically, go either way. Take the Rangers and let's hope for something good.

4-Unit Play: Take 956 CHICAGO CUBS -1.5, RL, Over NATIONALS (7:40pm E, Monday, May 17th)

Lot's of hitters and sluggers on both teams and the wind is blowing in, so we don't expect a 15-10 game, but we do expect enough runs to cover the "Over 8." Two or three throws over to first base, like mentioned above and this game can get out of hand quickly. The wind isn't blowing hard enough to keep sluggers, on both sides, from taking it out of the park.

4-Unit Play: Take 956 CUBS/NATIONALS "OVER 8 RUNS (7:40pm E, Monday, May 17th)

Cubs beat the inconsistent Tigers, yesterday, but they need some time at home to really get themselves back on track. Jon Lester is coming home to Wrigley and there isn't a team out there (except maybe the Red Sox, that know him any better. Watch how often the Cubs try to steal - they know he hates to throw to first base and it can turn into a little league game quickly, with Lester on the mound.

4-Unit Play: Take 954 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, (7:10pm E, Monday, May 17th)

A week ago, this preview would, most likely be, much different. The Braves hadn't begun lighting up the scoreboard, yet and the Mets were in the middle of a 7 game win streak. The Mets roster, now, looks like the list from a trauma ward and the Braves are showing the energy we've been talking about, most of the year. Taijuan Walker (Mets) has almost a third the ERA of Max Fried, but that's a little deceiving. Look for the Braves to score enough runs to easily carry the Run Line.

4-Unit Play: Take 920 MINNESOTA TWINS -1.5, RL, +170 Over OAKLAND (2:10 pm E, Sunday, May 16th)

Minnesota is finally starting to play like they did the first part of the season. This is a darn good team, folks, and they can flat out hammer the ball. With Maeda on the mound, look for them to look like the slugging team they are, today and win this game going away. They are the third best slugging team in the American League and they'll show it off today for their hometown crowd. It's about time!

4-Unit Play: Take 974 SEATTLE MARINERS Over CLEVELAND INDIANS (9:10pm E, Saturday, May 15th)

The Mariners are getting back to their early season form. Look for them to build on their 7-3 win, last night, with another win over the Indians. Both pitchers, McKenzie and Sheffield have ERAs in the high 4s, but Seattle is a tough place to play and Seattle plays to the strengths in their park, better than anyone. The wind is blowing that heavy, night air in, and we're going to take the team with the most speed and who knows how to play small ball. That's the Mariners!

4-Unit Play: Take: 953 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, BREWERS (7:10pm E, Saturday, May 15th)

Atlanta is starting to come to life and man, do they have energy. We think as much as any team in baseball. Milwaukee is more of a slugging team and with drizzle and wind blowing in at over 10 mph, we're going to give the nod to the team who'll get the most base hits and who has the most energy and can steal a run, now and then. On the hill, it's the battle of the Andersons, both with ERAs hanging around 3.50. We like the Braves to build off yesterday's victory and run away with this one.

4-Unit Play: Take: 965 LA ANGELS -1.5, RL, Over RED SOX (4:10pm E, Saturday, May 15th)

The Angels look to break a 3-game losing streak in Boston, today. Typically, we might take Boston in this spot, but the wind is blowing out to the Green Monster and there are few better slugging teams in the bigs, than the Angels. Everyone who comes to the plate, looks like they should take it out of the park. Boston is a great slugging team, too. Though the small home ballpark helps a little. Dylan Bundy and Martin Perez (Boston) take the mound, both looking for their first win of the season. We like the Angels to stun Boston, with the wind blowing to left field, in their own ballpark, today.

7-Unit Play: Take 976 TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5, RL Over NY METS (1:10pm E, Saturday, May 15th)

Rays got a good pitching performance, yesterday, from Glasnow and look to keep the Mets down again, today. Rays are finally beginning to look like the reigning American League Champs. Today NY sends out Drew Smith, who hasn't pitched enough to have a real ERA - we don't see him staying in, long. Compare that to Shane McClanahan's 3.75 and you've all the reasons you need from the pitching side and Rays are a better hitting team and are just now starting to show it. Take the Rays to get the Mets closer to the .500 team, they're more comfortable being.

4-Unit Play: Take 912 SAN DIEGO PADRES -1.5, RL Over St. Louis Cardinals (10:10pm E, Friday, May 14th) The Cardinals are playing good ball this year, but San Diego, at night, is a tough place to play, the first game of a series, especially after a tough and tiring series with the Brewers. Johan Oviedo and his 4.61 ERA takes the hill against the Padres' Joe Musgrove and his 3.23 Earned Run Average.We like the Padres in a low-scoring affair, due the heavy night air of San Diego.

4-Unit Play: Take 926 SEATTLE MARINERS Over CLEVELAND (10:10pm E, Friday, May 14th) Though they've tapered off a bit lately, the Mariners have surprised the baseball world with their good start to the season. Mitch Haniger, the Mariners' right fielder, already has 27 RBIs in this short season and we're looking for him to stay hot. The Indians have definitely looked good their last 10 games, going 9-1, but look for the Mariners to slow that down, tonight. Seattle is not a friendly place to play at night and we look for Seattle to jump on this first game of the series.

4-Unit Play: Take 906 COLORADO ROCKIES Over CINCINNATI (8:40pm E, Friday, May 14th) The Rockies are in a rebuilding year, but you wouldn't know it by yesterday's 13-8 whipping of the Reds - and it really wasn't even that close. We like them to take that confidence into today's game. Wade Miley, for the Reds, has looked good this year, but the thin air of Denver makes it an interesting place to play. We don't like the Rockies in a lot of games, but after yesterday, we sure like them today, especially the way they're hitting.

4-Unit Play: Take 928 DETROIT TIGERS Over CHICAGO CUBS (7:10pm E, Friday, May 14th) The consensus would normally be to take the Cubs in this situation, but not today. Cubs are playing lousy baseball and, with Arrieta back from a thumb injury, we don't see things changing for Chicago, at least not today. The Tigers, on the other hand, are playing over their heads and we think they'll take this game today, as they seem to be gaining more and more confidence at home. Skubal is pitching well, the team is hitting well, so what more do you want out of a team playing at home, the first game of the series? Tigers win today and not by a little.

4-Unit Play: Take 968 TAMPA BAY RAYS OVER YANKEES (7:10pm E, Thursday, May 13th)

Tampa Bay isn't getting much love from the oddsmakers, this year, as the reigning American League Champs. We like them at home tonight, mainly because Garret Cole isn't on the mound. The Yankees will be going with Jameson Taillon and his over 5 ERA (quite a contrast from last night) and the Rays will have veteran Rich Hill on the hill. Needless to say, these teams don't like one another, so we'll take the home team to make up for last night's 1-0 loss with a plethora of runs, tonight.

4-Unit Play: Take DETROIT TIGERS -1.5, RL, OVER KC ROYALS (1:10pm E, Thursday, May 13th)

If it didn't fit our System so well, this would be a tough play for us to make, but it does and we succeed because we're true to our System. The Royals are looking to stop a 10-game skid and Lynch, with his astronomical ERA isn't the guy to do it and Turnbull, for Detroit is not the guy to let them. Detroit has had a lousy year, thus far, but when a Tiger smells meat, it attacks. We expect that, today. The Tigers have NO sympathy for the Royals and, if they can beat them by 10, they will. We think they'll win handily.

4-Unit Play: Take 926 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5, RL, Over TORONTO (7:20 E, Wednesday, May 12th) The Atlanta Braves have been hit and miss this year, so far. One day the offense shows up, the next it doesn't - and it's a very good offense, when it's clicking. Ryu and his 3.31 ERA is, of course, a really good pitcher and Fried, for the Braves has a very deceiving 8.44 ERA. So, if all you look at is ERAs, you'd take the Blue Jays, but there is so much more to this game: it's in Atlanta; Braves have very few injuries and will light it up today!

7-Unit Play: Take 903 PADRES/ROCKIES "OVER", Game 1 (3:10pm E, Wednesday, May 12th) Another line we don't get. 6.5 total runs in Denver? Yes Darvish is an excellent pitcher with his 2.27 ERA and Jon Gray with his 3.12 and, yes, the wind is blowing right to left and slightly in, but this is Denver and we don't care if a tornado is passing through, the Padres should reach that total on their own. Look for this game to go over, easily.

4-Unit Play: Take CLEVELAND INDIANS -1.5, RL Over CUBS (1:10pm E, Wednesday, May 12th) We don't get this line. The Indians are a VERY GOOD team, this year and with the Cub's Davies ERA at 6.30, it just doesn't make sense. Sam Hentges is not a lot better at 5.00, but the Indians have a much better offense and should dominate this game, especially at home. Cleveland just barely slid by them yesterday, but we like a lot more runs in this one and an Indian’s victory.
