Atlanta Braves. Home Run GOM. Game 955. 4:15 PM PST/7:15 PM EST. It's funny how things change so quickly in baseball. The Braves are starting to heat up, winning five of their last seven, while the Padres have cooled down, riding a five-game slide. Atlanta took Game 1 of this series yesterday, by a score of 6-1. With the combination of solid hitting and strong pitching, this team is one of the most dangerous in baseball. Speaking of pitching, Reynaldo Lopez and Dylan Cease are scheduled today. The Braves have won six of their right-handers last seven outings, while the Padres have dropped each of their right-handers last two turns. With some momentum, a more consistent lineup, and a stronger starter on the mound, take Atlanta. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers. BEST BET. 909. 7:15 PM PST/10:15 PM EST. Whenever you can get a team of the caliber of the Los Angeles Dodgers at a low price or even at even money, it certainly offers us value. But this play for me isn't just about value. It's about getting a big win for us tonight. The Dodgers aren’t just a good team, they are a smart team as well. With just a few weeks left before the All-Star break, they can put themselves in a position to have a double-digit lead in the NL West, and furthermore go into the break with momentum. They currently own an 8.5-game cushion in the Division. Today they face their Division rival, the San Francisco Giants, which sit in fourth place, 12.0-games back. Los Angeles happens to also be one of the best road teams in baseball, going 26-15 away from home in 2024. Going back a bit, they have taken eight of the last 10 meetings in this rivalry, which includes six of the last seven, and five of six this season already. They enter this matchup red-hot, winning four in a row and eight of the last 10, possessing the fourth-ranked scoring offense in baseball and its second-ranked pitching staff. San Francisco is struggling, dropping six of their last 10, with a mediocre offense at best, and one of the poorest pitching staffs in the Majors. Speaking of pitching, Landon Knack and Logan Webb are scheduled. The Dodgers right hander is 1-1 with a 2.10 ERA this season as he has allowed two runs or less in all five of his appearances. The Giants right-hander is 6-6 with a 3.16 ERA on the campaign. He has posted some solid numbers at home, but has allowed 15 earned runs over his last five turns. By the way, the team has dropped eight of his last 11 starts. While Knack has never faced San Francisco, Webb is 4-6 with a 4.05 ERA in 14 career starts against Los Angeles. Very simply, L.A. has dominated this rivalry, comes in here hotter, has a better starter on the mound, and is significantly stronger both at the plate and on the hill. Take the Dodgers. Thank you. |

05-31-24 | Rays v. Orioles -132 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Baltimore Orioles. Home Run. 4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST. Once again, this season, the American League East looks like it's going to be a dogfight. With just under 60 games played, traditionally, the most competitive Division in baseball looks like it's between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. New York sits atop the AL East at 39-19 with a 2.0-game lead over Baltimore, which is cemented into second place at 35-19. A cushion of 8.5-games separates the 2nd place, Orioles and the 3rd place, Red Sox and Rays. Just FYI, the Blue Jays are only 1.0-games behind them at 26-29. As I mentioned earlier, this Division is going to be a dogfight. However, we cannot ignore the Yankees and the Orioles are shaping up to be the cream of the AL East crop. This is the first meeting between these two Division rivals this season. Baltimore has taken six of the last 10 meetings overall. Tampa Bay, is a true “Jekyll and Hyde” team. Yes, they can be teams like Oakland, but have dropped six of their last nine coming into this series. Both at the plate and on the mound, they rank in the bottom third in the Majors. Their once-feared lineup now ranks 26th in scoring 23rd in Team Batting Average, 25th in OPS, and 28th in home runs. That would be tough enough on any team. However, their pitching staff has been deplorable, ranking 22nd, with a Team ERA of 4.22. On the other hand, the Orioles rank in the top-five both offensively and on the mound, averaging over five runs per game (5.04 RPG), possess a Team Batting Average of .244, and are top-five in baseball both in OPS and home runs. Let's be honest, their offense is explosive. Their pitching has dominated as well, ranking fifth in baseball, with a Team ERA of 3.33. Speaking of pitching, today Aaron Civale and Albert Suarez are scheduled. The Rays right-hander has struggled badly this season, going 2-4 with a 5.72 ERA. Has been atrocious this month, sport an 0-2 mark with a whopping ERA of 6.57 in five starts. He has a winning record over his career against Baltimore in three starts, but has an ERA of 6.75 against them. The Orioles right-hander is 2-0 with a 1.53 ERA on the campaign. He has been used primarily as a reliever. However, he made three starts at the beginning of the season and comes off another strong start less then a week ago. Overall, in four starts this season, he has allowed a total of four earned runs in 18.4 inning pitched. The Rays are barely scraping by on the road, going 11-11 as a guest this season, while the Orioles own one of the best home records in baseball at 19-11 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Any way you look at it, Baltimore is the play. Take the Orioles. Thank you. |

Atlanta Braves. Best Bet. Game 975. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. One of the best teams in the National League will take on one of the worst in the American League here in Game 2 of this series between the Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros. Atlanta took Game 1 yesterday, 6-1. Granted a season ago, Houston had their way in this rivalry. But this season the Astros are just struggling at 6-12 overall. No matter how you slice it, the Braves, both on the mound and at the plate, are far superior. Currently, Atlanta ranks number one in the Majors in scoring, averaging over 6.47 runs per game, number one in Team Batting Average at .301, and number one in OPS, at .852. Houston's numbers in batting average and OPS and even home runs are impressive. They're just not consistent. That would be one thing if that was all it was. But they also rank 29th in the League with a Team ERA, a whopping 5.35. Today's matchup is scheduled to be Reynaldo Lopez and Hunter Brown. Going back to September of last season, the Braves have won four of their right-handers last five starts. Oh, and by the way, in those five starts, he has yielded a combined for earned runs in over 23.1 innings pitched. This game gets ugly. Take Atlanta. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers. April IL GOM. Game 975. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. Unless you've been living on another planet for a while, you are well aware the Los Angeles Dodgers are once again one of the preseason teams predicted to buy not just for the pennant, but for the World Series. This is a very good team. They are loaded, both on the mound and at the plate. I really like today's matchup even more because they took their first humiliating beating of the season yesterday, getting thumped on the road at the Chicago Cubs, 8-1. This is a team that does not take losing lightly. And furthermore, they take embarrassing defeats even more seriously. I look for them to bounce back today against the struggling Minnesota Twins here. For starters, the Dodgers have taken nine of the last 10 meetings with the Twins going back to 2017. Just over the last season or two, they are 6-1 in this Inter League matchup. Let's talk about the pitchers: James Paxton gets the nod on the road, while Bailey takes the mound at home. The Los Angeles left-hander is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA on the campaign. Over his career, he has made seven starts against the Twins, in which he owns a very respectful record of 4-1 with an ERA of 2.61. In 38 innings pitched against them, he has walked 11 and struck out 46. This does not bode well as the Twins are averaging just 3.00 runs per game as it is and rank between 27th and 30th in most every major offensive category. Oh, by the way, they also have knocked just three home runs and stolen just two bases. I don't see them keeping pace with the Dodgers on the scoreboard. Los Angeles averages over 5.75 runs per game and ranks in the top-10 in just about every offensive category. Overall, their pitching needs some improvement. But today's starter negates all that, as I mentioned earlier. For Minnesota, today's starter is 0-1 with a whopping ERA of 54.00. He has only one appearance against the Dodgers in his career, and that was back in May 2023. He pitched well against them. This season’s lineup won’t be giving any run support here today. Los Angeles. Thank you. |

04-07-24 | Marlins v. Cardinals -137 | Top | 10-3 | Loss | -137 | 3 h 38 m | Show |
St. Louis Cardinals. NL Game of the Week. Game 908. 11:15 AM PST/2:15 PM EST. Every season it seems the Cardinals are predicted to be a major force to be reckoned with. Now I will admit after starting this regular season off at 3-4, we were scratching our heads a bit. However, all of those games were played on the road, and since they started playing at Busch Stadium, they are a perfect, 2-0, which happens to be wins in both Games 1 and 2 against the Miami Marlins. As you know, Miami is the only winless team in baseball, at 0-9. We can look at stats from last season and we will find the Marlins seem to struggle in the NL on the road, going 38-43 away from home. This is not a very good team overall. And when traveling, things go from bad to worse. To add insult to injury, the Cardinals right-hander, Kyle Gibson is significantly superior than Marlins right-hander, Max Meyer. Even if you look at their early season’s statistics, both at the plate and on the mound, you will find St. Louis is far and away the better team. They average nearly one run more per game offensively, while they're pitching staff gives up nearly a run and a half less per game. Take the home team here. Take the Cardinals. Thank you. |

Houston Astros. MLB GOM. Game 966. 11:10 am pst/2:10 pm est. The Astros took Game 2 of this series with authority yesterday, 17-4. These two A.L. powerhouses are going in opposite directions as the Rays continue to slide, losing seven of their last 10, while the Astros are riding a 7-3 surge. Littell and Bielak are scheduled here today. No one expects the Rays right-hander to go more than a few innings. This is huge for us as the once solid, T.B. bullpen, has been getting plowed lately. Houston is money, and this time of year, expect them to step up. Especially against a team they may face come the postseason. Take the Astros. Thank you. |

07-27-23 | Cubs +102 v. Cardinals | Top | 10-3 | Win | 102 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
Chicago Cubs. Double Play GOM. Game 503. 4:45 PM PT/7:45 PM ET. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, baseball is the streakiest of all the major sports when it comes to sports betting. And inside of baseball, without question in my opinion, the Chicago Cubs are the streakiest team. They are the hottest team in the Majors, winning five in a row and seven of their last eight. They enter Game 1 of this series with the Cardinals with confidence, knowing they took the last three meetings less than a week ago against them. As a matter of fact, Chicago, sits just six games back in the NL Central, a full five games ahead of St. Louis in the division. This is a big game for the Cubs today folks, as they can reach a .500 record with a victory here. That’s right, they sit at 50-51 on the campaign and this is a very big game for them to get over the hump. St. Louis, on the other hand has fallen way short of expectations this season. They enter this series-opener, dropping four of their last six enroute to an overall record of 46-57. To be quite honest, they are just as shaky at home as they are on the road this season. Today’s schedule starters are Justin Steele and Miles Mikolas. The Chicago left-hander is a very impressive, 10-3 with a 2.95 ERA in 2023. In three starts against St. Louis this season, he is 3-0 with a 2.95 ERA. The team has won five of his last six overall turns. When he takes to the road this season, he is a very solid 3-1 with a 2.93 ERA. The St. Louis right-hander is 6-5 with a 4.33 ERA on the campaign. This season, he is winless against Chicago, going and 0-0 with a 5.79 ERA in two starts against them. He is allowing 3.2 earned runs per start on the campaign. To be quite honest, he has only had one solid year in the big leagues, and that was back in 2018. His last three starts he is 1-0 with a whopping ERA of 5.14. And playing at Busch Stadium this season, he has 2-2 with a 4.95 ERA. When he gets in trouble my friends, and he will get in trouble, the Cardinals will go to a pitching staff and a bullpen that ranks 23rd in baseball, with a Team ERA of 4.61. Oh, by the way, they also ran 25th in Quality Starts. This doesn’t bode well as the Chicago lineup has exploded, accounting for 7.3 runs per game just over their last 10 contests. Take the Cubs. Thank you. |

Tampa Bay Rays. Double Play. Game 919. 4:15 PM, PST/7:15 PM EST. Winners of three and a row and the best overall record in the Majors, the Tampa Bay Rays are showing no signs of slowing down. They took Game 1 of this series yesterday, thumping the Seattle Mariners, 15-4. That was the first meeting between these two teams this season. However, going back a bit, the Rays have taken six of the last seven meetings. Meanwhile, the Mariners after striving for a bit, seem to have hit a wall. They have dropped three in a row and seven of their last 10 to sink down to fourth place in the American League West. Both at the plate and on the mound, Tampa Bay significantly outclasses Seattle. They possess both the third ranked, scoring offense and team batting average in baseball. By the way, they also rank second in OPS, first in stolen bases, and third in homeruns. Their offense is absolutely exploding. In all sincerity, the word “erratic” best describes the Mariners lineup. As far as starting pitchers today, Tyler Glasgow, and George Kirby are scheduled. The Tampa Bay right-hander is 2-1 with a 4.45 ERA on the campaign. While he hasn’t faced Seattle in his career, he has had a heck of a season thus far, as the team has won five of his last six turns. The Mariners right-hander is 6-7 with a 3.26 ERA in 2023. Despite two decent appearances, he has lost his last two outings. As a matter fact, the team has dropped five of his last seven turns. As the All-Star Break approaches, the Rays do not want to let their foot off the gas…at all. By the way folks, they are 40-18 their last 58 versus a team with a losing record. Meanwhile, the Mariners are just 3-9 their last 12 versus the American League East. Take Tampa Bay. Thank you. |

Tampa Bay Rays. Double Play. Game 969. 7:10 PM, PST/10:10 PM, EST. Tampa Bay continues to play the best baseball in the Majors. Not only do they possess the best overall record in baseball at 56-28, but they are starting to surge again. Furthermore, they have had their way with Seattle, taking six of the last eight matchups. This is the first meeting this season between these two American League rivals. Speaking of the Mariners, they currently sit in fourth place in the American League West, 10-games back at 38-41. They have dropped two in a row and six of the last nine coming into this series opener. They have a lot of trouble playing the American league East, going a mere 3-8 the last 11 matchups with the division. McClanahan and Miller are scheduled starters today. The Rays left-hander is 11-1 with a 2.23 ERA in 2023. In two career stats against the Mariners, he is 1-0 with a 2.38 ERA. He has made 16 starts on the campaign, as the team has gone 13-3 in those starts. To be quite honest, he has been the most dominating pitcher in the American League, in my opinion this season. Only once in those 16 starts has he allowed more than three runs. On the road he is a whopping 6-1 with a 2.58 ERA. The Seattle rookie right-hander is 5-3 with a 3.88 ERA in 2023. He will be facing Tampa Bay for the first time in his short career. To be quite honest, although he has a promising future, he has gotten plowed quite a few times this season, especially just over the last month, as the team is dropped three of his last five turns since May 29. In three of those, turns he gave up significant runs early. Tampa Bay seems to be beating everyone in the League. But when facing teams with a losing record, they are 39-18 the last 57 in that situation. Take the Rays. Thank you. |

Meanwhile, New York has dropped seven of the last nine, continuing to struggle. The Brewers have taken all four meetings with the Mets this season. Teheran and Peterson are scheduled to start today. The Milwaukee right-hander is 2-2 with a 1.53 ERA on the campaign. And over his career, he has faced the Mets 29 times, which includes 28 starts, going 10-9 with a 2.98 ERA. The New York left-hander is 1-6 with an ERA of 8.08 in 2023. In three games, which includes two starts against the Brewers, he is 0-1 with a 10.38 ERA. Milwaukee is 4-0 the last four versus the National League East and 4-1 the last five versus a team with a losing record. New York is 1-4 the last five versus the National League Central and 2-7 the last nine at home. Take the Brewers. Thank you. |

Atlanta Braves. Game 903. 3:40 PM PST/6:40 PM EST. The two hottest teams in baseball face each other today. The Braves, which have won eight straight, travel to Great American Ball Park to face the Reds, which have won 11 in a row. Kudos to both teams. But I do see a big disparity here, my friends. Atlanta has been winning since Opening Day of the season. And they continue to be the best road team in baseball at 24-11. With all respect to Cincinnati’s win streak, let’s face it, their opponents during that streak have been St. Louis, Kansas City, Houston, and Colorado. Only one of those teams sport a winning record. And to be honest, the Astros have struggled this season looking very mortal. Smith-Shawver and Weaver are scheduled here. The Atlanta right-hander is making just his third start of the season, which means his third start of his young career. He has pitched quite well, allowing a total of three earned runs in 13 innings pitched the season, sporting a 1-0 record with a 2.03 ERA. The Cincinnati right-hander is just 1-2 with a 6.47 ERA. In his last four starts, in which he has received no decisions whatsoever, the team had won all four, despite him allowing 18 earned runs in just 19 innings pitched. Over his career, he has not done well against today’s opponent, going 1-3 with a 4.91 ERA. As I mentioned earlier, the Braves have played more consistent baseball since the beginning of the season. And they are a great road team. They have won four consecutive games played on the road, 13 of the last 16 games played versus right-handed starters, 38 of the last 53 games played during Game 1 of the series, 36 of the last 51 games played versus the NL Central, and 19 of the last 26 games played overall. Take Atlanta here. Thank you. |

Tampa Bay Rays. Oddsmakers Mistake Play. Game 979. 6:40 PM, PT/9:40 PM, EST. My friends, there is no way the Rays should be this small of a favorite over the Padres here. Tampa Bay owns the best record in baseball and starts one of the best pitchers in the Majors today. Tampa Bay has been playing on another level than any other team in baseball this season. Just over recent weeks, they are riding a 10-3 run. Going back a bit, they have dominated San Diego, winning nine of their last 10 meetings. This does include five of their last six meetings played at Petco Park. Once again, this season, the Padres have been underachieving and erratic. They have sunk to fourth place in the NL West at 33-35. Playing at home has not been a benefit for the Padres, which are they are two-games under .500 at Petco Park, at 17-19. Shane McClanahan and Yu Darvish are set to take the mound today. The Tampa Bay left-hander is a whopping, 10-1 with an ERA of just 2.18 this season. Away from home, his numbers don’t fade at all, going 5-1 with a 2.79 ERA. The San Diego right-hander is 5-4 with a 4.30 ERA on the campaign. To be quite honest, in four of his last five turns, he has given up significant earned runs. I expect him to once again get lit up here facing baseballs second-ranked scoring lineup. The Rays are 38-15 their last 53 games played versus teams with a losing record, 7-2 their last nine games played following a win, and 21-7 their last 28 games played during Game 1 of a series. Take Tampa Bay. Thank you. |

Minnesota Twins. Game 913. 3:10 PM PST/6:10 PM EST. Very quietly, the Minnesota Twins have taken control of the American League Central with a four-game lead. This is a team that has a winning record, both at home and on the road. Something that is a rarity these days. The Cleveland Guardians sit in third place in the division, 4.5-games back. They have lost three straight outings, including Game 1 of the series yesterday, 2-0. A season ago, the Guardians had their way with the Twins, taking eight of the final nine matchups between these division rivals. However, 2023 is a very different campaign for them. Their offense, or should I say, lack of offense, ranks at or near the bottom in every major category. They rank 27th in scoring, 29th in batting average, 30th in OPS, and 30th in home runs. I am afraid things are going to go from bad to worse for the team as they go up against the Majors third-ranked pitching staff here. I mean their lineup has accounted for three runs or less in 12 of their last 16 outings. Sonny Gray and Logan Allen are schedule starters here. The Minnesota right-hander is off to an amazing start, going 4-0 with an anemic ERA of 0.77, which leads the Majors. He has made six starts this season, in which the team has won five of those 6 turns. And by the way, he has not allowed more than one earned run in any outing in 2023. The Cleveland left-hander is off to a good start as well, going 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA. However, he has only made two starts. He hasn’t worked out the kinks yet. Playing at home would normally benefit a team. But the Guardians are a dismal 4-9 at Progressive Field this season. They are also 0-5 their last five games played during Game 2 of a series, 1-4 their last five games played versus right-handed starters, at 1-5 their last six games played overall. Take Minnesota. Thank you. |

Baltimore Orioles. Double Play. Game 917. 4:40 PM PST/7:40 PM EST. Playing in the most the competitive division in baseball with the Major Leagues top team, the Baltimore Orioles are getting too much ink. However, very quietly they are just 3.5-games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the division and overall possess the third best record in the Majors at 19-9. This does include a 10-5 away mark. They travel to Kauffman Stadium to face a team with the second-worst record in all of baseball, the Kansas City Royals. K.C. is just 7-22, which does include the poorest home record in the Majors, A deplorable, 1-12 when hosting. This is the first meeting between these two teams this season. But the Orioles enter today’s Game 1 matchup on the 1122 run, while the Royals are just 3-12 their last 15 outings. Both at the plate and on the mound, Baltimore is just simply far better. They average almost two runs a game more, while their pitching staff allows more than a run less. Just over the last nine outings, the explosive Baltimore lineup has accounted for five or more runs twice. Tyler Wells and Ryan Yarbrough are scheduled for today. The Baltimore right-hander is 1-1 with a 2.79 ERA this season. The team has won four of his five turns and he has looked spectacular so far. The Kansas City left-hander is 0-3 with a 6.35 ERA on the campaign. Both as a starter and as a reliever, he has made quite a few appearances in 2023. However, the team has lost each of his last three appearances. The Orioles are 35-16 their last 51 games played in Game 1 of a series, 8-2 their last 10 games played following a win, 6-1 their last seven games played on the road, 6-1 their last seven games played versus left-handed starters, and 7-1 their last eight games played versus the AL Central. I can give you a ton of stats and trends about the Royals. But they are all ugly. Take Baltimore. Thank you. |

Tampa Bay Rays. GAME OF THE MONTH Game 919. 4:10 PM PST for 7:10 PM EST. Many people thought in the preseason that Tampa Bay and Chicago had a good shot at fighting it out for the American League Pennant down the road. However, a month into the campaign, Tampa Bay sits atop the American League East at 21-5, which by the way, is the best overall record in baseball, while Chicago dwells in fourth place in the Central at 7-19. The Rays, which have won seven of their last nine, travel to Guaranteed Rate Field to take on a White Sox squad riding an eight-game slide. Tampa Bay swept Chicago three games to none at home, less than a week ago. Both on the mound at the plate, they outclass their opponent here as they top the Majors in both Team ERA (2.83) and RPG (6.58). Eflin is certainly off to a much better start than Giolito. And over their careers, he has fared much better against today’s opponent than his counterpart. Chicago is just 1-4 their last five games played at home, 7-20 their last 27 games played versus the AL East, and 1-10 their last 11 games played against right-handed starters. Take Tampa Bay.

New York Mets. Grand Slam Play. Game 957. 10:40 AM PST/1:40 PM EST. The New York Mets are the hottest team in the Majors, winning five straight. This does include GAMES 1 and 2 of the series against Miami, outscoring the Marlins by a combined 10-4. To say the Mets have dominated their division opponent would be an understatement. They have taken four of the last five meetings at LoanDepot Park and are an overall 10-4 the last 14 meetings. New York has shown consistency all season long both on the mound and at the plate. The offense ranks sixth in scoring, while they’re pitching staff ranks fifth in Team ERA. This does not bode well for a Miami team which has been the epitome of inconsistency in both areas. Their lineup has struggled, while their pitching staff has begun to show fatigue. Taijuan Walker and Pablo Lopez are scheduled here. Walker owns an 8-2 record on the campaign with a 2.67 ERA. Lopez is 7-5 with a 3.03 ERA. The Mets are 6-1 the last seven on the road, 4-0 the last four versus right-handed starters, and 35-16 the last 51 versus the NL East. Miami is 0-6 to the last six at home, 0-5 the last five home games versus right-handed starters, and 0-5 the last five versus division opponents. Take the Mets. Thank you. |

New York Yankees. Game 977. 4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST. New York took Games 1 and 2 of this series with authority only to lose Game 3 in the 10th inning last night. Well folks, the Yankees do not take losing lightly. They certainly don’t take losing lightly to their archrival, the Red Sox. While Boston does occupy second place in the competitive American League East division by just a half-game, this team is certainly starting to show signs of fatigue. The lineup has been erratic at best, while they’re pitching staff has allowed five or more runs in nine of the last 12 contests. This does not bode well when that pitching staff has to face the top-scoring lineup in baseball. That’s right, New York accounts for over 5.22 runs per game, which tops the league. They also lead the league in OPS and home runs. All this while they possess the Majors No. 2 ranked pitching staff. Speaking of pitching, James Taillon and Nick Pivetta are scheduled starters today. The Yankees hurler is 9-2 with a 3.63 ERA on the campaign. And in for career starts against Boston, he owns a 2-0 record with a 1.46 ERA. The Red Sox starter is 8-6 with a 3.68 ERA in 2022. And in his career in four appearances, which includes three stars, is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA versus the Yankees. New York is 5-2 the last seven meetings in Fenway Park and 10-3 the last 13 overall meetings with Boston. They are also 23-8 the last 31 versus the American League East, 39-12 the last 51 versus right-handed starters, and 24-8 the last 32 following a loss. The Red Sox are 1-4 the last five versus the American League East, 1-4 the last five versus right-handed starters, and 1-4 the last five at home. Take the Yankees. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers. Best Bet GOM play. Game 953. 3:40 pm pst. The Los Angeles Dodgers are in a dogfight at the moment with the San Diego Padres. They both currently possess the top-spot in the competitive, NL West division. With the All-Star break just around the corner, Los Angeles knows they need every win they can get right now. And playing Cincinnati is just what the doctor ordered to achieve their goal. The Dodgers have taken seven consecutive meetings with the Reds going back to last season. This includes all five matchups this season. They have outscored their NL rival by a combined 34-10 in 2022. This includes an 8-2 drubbing yesterday in Game 1 of this series. Today, Tyler Anderson takes the mound. The left-hander is 8-0 with a 2.82 ERA on the season, striking out 63, and walking just 11, in 67 IP. The team has won his last six turns. For the Reds, Luis Castillo gets the nod. The right-hander is 2-4 with a respectable, 3.33 ERA on the campaign. However, the team has lost his last three outings. Both on the mound and at the plate, the Dodgers rank No. 2 in the Majors. Their pitching staff has a Team ERA of just 2.90, while their lineup is averaging over 5.06 runs per game. Cincinnati is purely outclassed both on the mound and at the plate in this match up. The Reds are 0-4 the last four as an underdog, 0-6 the last six at home, and 0-5 the last five overall. Take the Dodgers. Thank you. |

St. Louis Cardinals. NL Central Game of the Month. Game 901. 12:10 PM PST. My friends, the St. Louis Cardinals have already jumped out to take a lead in the NL Central. The funny thing is, they are the only team in this division that is either trying to get newly-acquired players acclimated or in a rebuilding year. The other teams in this division will certainly take time to start to gel and get into a flow. That’s not the case here with this team. Their offense is clicking on all cylinders, ranking second in both leagues in scoring, averaging over 6.25 runs per game. They own a Team Batting Average of .271 which is good enough to rank third in both leagues, rank second in OPS at. 874, rank second in stolen bases with 14, and have already slammed eight home runs. Their opponent today, the Milwaukee Brewers have high hopes for the year. However, right now are falling way short of expectations as their offense ranks among the worst in both leagues. And let’s face it, their pitching leaves a lot to be desired as well. These two teams certainly know each other very well. The Cardinals have had their way in this series, taking six of the last seven meetings overall. And while visiting American Family Field, have taken the last four matchups in a row. Today, they send one of the National Leagues most experienced pitchers to the mound in Adam Wainwright. The right-hander looked very sharp in his first start of the campaign, tossing six scoreless innings and striking out six batters to earn a victory a week ago against the Pirates. In his career, “Uncle Charlie“ is 20-12 with a 2.60 ERA in 49 games against Milwaukee including 42 starts. A season go he was 2-1 with a 3.62 ERA in five starts versus the Brewers. Brandon Woodruff gets the nod at home. The right-hander had an awful first outing, only lasting 3.2 innings in last weeks 9-0 defeat at Wrigley Field. In his lifetime, he is 3-3 with a 3.30 ERA in 10 games versus St. Louis, including eight starts. He was 0-2 with a 3.97 ERA in four starts against the Cardinals last season. St. Louis is 9-1 the last 10 games as an underdog, 8-1 the last nine games during Game 1 of a series, 8-1 the last nine road games versus right-handed starters, and 22-6 the last 28 overall road games. Oh, by the way, they are also 15-4 the last 19 versus the NL Central and 4-1 the last five following an off day. Take the Cardinals. Thank you. |

Seattle’s offensive numbers rank among the poorest in all of baseball (22nd in Scoring, 30th in Team BA, 29th in OPS). Chris Flexen (3-1, 3.78) takes the hill at home today. The RH has had three good outings and three very bad outings this season, including two poor performances his last two starts (10.1 IP, 14 hits, seven ER’s, two K’s).

It looks like Walker Buehler and Max Fried will be on the mound here. I am not looking to take away anything from Buehler and the Dodgers but, in this repeat of the Game 1 matchup, I am going with Fried and the hungry Braves and the Game 1 matchup to repeat itself. Fried showed no fear facing LA, going 6.0 strong IP, yielding just four hits, and striking out nine batters. He has the confidence of that series-opening victory carrying him over in to this game. Going back to last season, Atlanta has taken five of seven over LA, are 16-6 the last 22 vs. the NL West, and 8-2 the last 10 overall. Like this matchup. Like Fried. And like the Braves here.

As a matter of fact, they are one of the AL's worst home teams, owning a deplorable, 11-25 record at Comerica Park, where they post a mere, 3.32 RPG. FYI, visitors put up an astounding, 6.16 RPG when passing thru Detroit. They are -11.93 units overall. But when they play on their home field, the Tigers own a 10-26 mark on the RL. Not only do they lose, they lose badly, with the average margin of deficit coming by 2.84 RPG. Matthew Boyd takes the hill today. The LH is a respectable, 5-5, with a 3.61 record.
