08-21-22 | Cardinals v. Diamondbacks UNDER 7.5 | 6-4 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
The Cardinals won their sixth straight game on Saturday with a win over the D'backs, 16-7. The Cards have taken over 1st place in the NL Central from Milwaukee, now leading the Brewers by 4-games. Jose Quintana will start today for the Red Birds. Quintana is 4-5 in his 23 starts with a 3.23 ERA. He's allowed two runs or fewer in five straight games. Arizona looks to salvage the rubber game of this series today. They will look to Merrill Kelly to do just that. Kelly is 10-5 in his 24 starts with a nifty 2.81 ERA. He's been even better of late going 3-0 in his last seven starts with a 1.53 ERA. Two hot pitchers looks like an UNDER for me here today. |

08-21-22 | Mariners v. A's UNDER 6.5 | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Seattle and Oakland have split the first two games of this series, with the Mariners taking game 1, 10-2, and the A's taking last night's game, 4-3. The Mariners made a big mid-season pickup of Luis Castillo to make a run for one of the Wild Card slots. Right now the M's are tied for 1st in the Wild card race with Toronto and 1-game ahead of Tampa Bay and 1.5 ahead of Minnesota. In fact, there are six teams that are within three games of each other for three WildCard slots. Louis Castillo has been very good since he came over to Seattle as he's allowed just five runs in his last three starts, all team wins. He's now 5-4 on the season with a 2.73 ERA. The Oakland A's just playing for pride at this point, JP Sears gets the start today, just his fifth of the season. Sears is 3-0 in four starts with a 0.86 ERA. He's looked very sharp for the A's, allowing no runs in three of his starts. I'll take the UNDER here today with two very good pitchers. |
|||||||
08-21-22 | Brewers v. Cubs +139 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 60 m | Show | |
The Milwaukee Brewers have dropped the first two games of this series with the Cubs. If they want to keep pace with the Cardinals in the NL Central then they can't let these games slip by. The Brewers now trail St Louis by 4-games in the division. Brandon Woodruff will start today for the Brewers with a 9-3 record in his 18 starts and a 3.53 ERA. The Cubs have won five straight games as they look for the sweep here today. Justin Steele will start for the Cubs with a 4-7 record and 3.43 ERA. However, he's been very good his last seven starts, posting a 1.66 ERA. Cubs a very live dog here today and that's all I need to be on them Play Chicago Cubs. |
|||||||
08-20-22 | Giants v. Rockies OVER 11 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
The San Francisco Giants look to snap a three-game losing streak here tonight against the Rockies. The Giants have seen their record drop below the .500 mark. The Giants have also dropped to fifth in the Wild Card race, now 4.5 games back of a spot. Alex Cobb will start for the Giants with a 4-6 record in his 19 starts and a 4.26 ERA. Cobb has been getting hit hard on the road where he is 1-0 in seven starts with a 6.19 ERA. The Rockies beat the Giants in game one last night, 7-4, snapping a five-game losing streak. Ryan Feltner will start today with a 2-4 record in his 10 starts and a 6.84 ERA. He's been worse at home, posting a 7.65 ERA. I expect for this game to go over with these two pitchers on the mound. Take OVER. |
|||||||
08-20-22 | Mets -115 v. Phillies | 1-4 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Game 2 of the doubleheader here on Saturday has the Mets taking on the Phillies. The Phils hold the second Wild Card spot in the NL. Atlanta either wins their division or has the top Wild Card spot as they Braves are 7.5 games ahead of second place Philly. However, it's a three way race for those final two Wild Card spots between the Phils, Padres and Brewers. The Mets beat the Phillies on Friday, 7-2. David Peterson starts game two for the Mets with a 5-2 record in his 14 starts and a 3.17 ERA. he's been better the last seven games with a 3-1 record and 2.39 ERA. Bailey Falter makes his eighth start of the season here this evening for the Phillies. Falter is 0-2 with a 4.83 ERA. I'm sticking with the Mets here today and the better starter in Peterson. Play NY. |
|||||||
08-20-22 | Angels -158 v. Tigers | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -158 | 3 h 43 m | Show |
The Angels took game one of this series with the Tigers on Friday, 1-0. Neither team will be going to the postseason, and it's a extreme longshot for either team to get break the .500 mark. Ried Detmers will start today for the Angels with a 4-3 record in his 18 games with a 3.45 ERA. Detmers has been even better of late, going 2-0 in his last seven starts with a 2.41 ERA. Detmers has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last six starts. The Tigers look to snap a two-game losing streak here tonight. The bullpen hasn't been much use of late, posting a 7.32 ERA in their last seven games. Tyler Alexander looks for his first win of the season here today after posting a 0-7 mark in his first eight games. Alexander has a 5.67 ERA. I'll stick with the Angels here today as not much confidence can be put in the Tigers and Alexander. |

08-19-22 | Marlins v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
The Miami Marlins took two of three games from the San Diego Padres, though they dropped the rubber game on Thursday, 3-10. Tonight they move a bit North to LA to take on team with the best record in baseball, the Dodgers. Miami will start Jesus Luzardo who is 3-5 with a 3.72 ERA in his nine starts. The Dodgers are coming off a split of their four game series in Milwaukee, dropping last night's contest, 3-5. They have now won 14 of their last 17 games. Tyler Anderson has been great this year for the Dodgers with a 12-2 record in his 20 starts. Anderson has a 2.84 ERA overall, 2.30 at home and 2.25 in his last seven starts. The Dodgers should have little trouble with this Marlins team. I'm laying the Run Line. |
|||||||
08-19-22 | Astros v. Braves UNDER 8.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
An Interleague clash of two powerhouses here as the team with the best record in the AL, Houston, clashes with the 2nd place NL East Atlanta Braves. Houston has won two straight games and six of their last eight. Lance McCullers Jr will get just his second start of the season here tonight. He had a nice first outing, going six innings vs the A's and allowing just two hits and no runs. The Atlanta Braves took three of four games from the NY Mets, including Thursday's contest, 3-2. They have won nine of their last 10 games. Kyle Wright will toe the rubber tonight with his 14-5 record in 22 starts and a 3.14 ERA. Both pitchers can take over this game tonight. I'll look for a low scoring affair and take the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-18-22 | Diamondbacks v. Giants UNDER 7 | Top | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
Arizona took game three of this four game set with the Giants last night, 3-2. The Giants still lead the series two games to one. Tonight, the Diamondbacks will start Zac Gallen who is 8-2 in his 22 starts with a 3.02 ERA. Gallen has been even better of late, posting a 2.08 ERA and 4-0 record in his last seven starts. The pen has been solid also, especially of late with a 2.61 ERA over their last seven games. The Giants look to stay above the .500 mark tonight as they sit 59-58. The Giants need to make up room in the NL Wild Card and quickly. They are 5th right now for one of three wild card slots, 5-games back of the Padres for that third spot. Logan Webb has been excellent for the Giants, posting a 11-5 record in his 24 starts with a 3.00 ERA. He's coming off a eight-inning outing vs the Pirates where he allowed five hits and no runs. These are two very good pitchers and I look for a low scoring game here today. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-18-22 | Rockies v. Cardinals -1.5 | 0-13 | Win | 100 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
The St Louis Cardinals look for the 3-game sweep here today from the Colorado Rockies. The Cardinals have leapt into 1st place in the NL Central Division with a 65-51 record and a 3-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers. Adam Wainwright will toe the rubber today for the Red Birds. Wainwright is 8-8 in his 23 starts with a 3.27 ERA. He's been better at home with a 4-3 record in 12 starts and a 2.30 ERA. The Rockies have lost four straight games heading into today's action. Antonio Senzatela starts today for Colorado with a 3-6 record and 4.67 ERA. He's been slightly worse on the road where he is 0-4 in seven starts with a 5.50 ERA. I look for the Cardinals to continue their dominance over the Rockies and extend their win streak here today. I'll lay the Run Line with Wainwright and the Cards. |
|||||||
08-17-22 | Orioles +155 v. Blue Jays | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
The ever changing Wild Card picture in the American league now sees Seattle Mariners holding the top spot with Tampa Bay in 2nd, the Jays holding the third and final spot and the Orioles a half game back in 4th. The Twins and White Sox box one-game back of the group. The Baltimore Orioles have won two straight games and look for the sweep in this important series with the Jays. Austin Voth toes the rubber today for the O's with a 3-1 record in his nine starts and a 3.22 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 1-1 record in four starts and a 2.20 ERA. Toronto will start Ross Stripling tonight. Stripling returns from the IR after missing the last three weeks. Stripling is 4-3 in his 15 starts with a 3.01 ERA. Not sure how well Stripling will be here today, so I'll take the O's who have been playing very well. Play Baltimore. |
|||||||
08-16-22 | Astros v. White Sox UNDER 7 | 3-4 | Push | 0 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
Two of the best pitchers in the American League will butt heads here tonight in the Chicago as Justin Verland and Dylan Cease take to the hill. Houston lost the opening game of this four-game set on Monday , 2-4. That snapped a four-game win streak for the Astros. Verlander has been great again this year with a 15-3 record in his 21 starts and a 1.85 ERA. Meanwhile, the White Sox have won four straight games as they moved into 2nd place in the AL Central, two-games back of the Guardians. Their Ace, Dylan Cease has been impressive all season with a 12-5 record and 1.96 ERA in his 23 starts. Just how good has Cease been? Well, consider he's allowed one run or no runs in 12 straight starts. That is impressive. I'll take the UNDER here and won't be surprised by a 1-0 or 2-1 victory. |
|||||||
08-16-22 | A's +106 v. Rangers | Top | 5-1 | Win | 106 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
The Oakland A's look to snap a 9-game losing streak here tonight in Texas. The A's dropped Monday's contest in game one of this set with the Rangers, 1-2. They will turn to JP Sears to get things back in the win column. Sears has only three starts, but they have been very good starts. He's 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA and 0.750 WHIP. Sears has allowed no runs in two of his three outings this season. The Rangers have won three straight games including taking two of three from the Mariners. The Rangeers' will debut Kohei Arihara today as he makes his 2022 debut. Arihara was called up from Triple-A Round Rock where he had a 4.18 ERA in 18 games (14 starts). Sears has impressed me thus far and I'm not sure Arihara will do the same for the Rangers. I'll take the A's tonight. |
|||||||
08-15-22 | Orioles v. Blue Jays OVER 9 | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blues Jays are fighting for two of the three A.L. Wild Card slots. The Jays hold first place in that race, 1/2-game ahead of Seattle, 1-game ahead of Tampa Bay and 1.5-games ahead of Baltimore with the Twins and White Sox just two-games back. That's six teams within two games of each other for the Wild Card slots. That makes this 3-game set very important to both teams. The Orioles lost two of their three games to the Rays, including both Saturday and Sunday. They will send Kyle Bradish to the hill today. Bradish is 1-4 in his 13 starts with a 6.42 ERA. The Blue Jays have lost four of their last five games six of their last seven. Yusei Kikuchi will start today for the Jays with a 4-6 record in 19 starts and a 5.13 ERA. Both teams need wins, but this one looks to be decided by the pens as neither starter all that good. I'll take the OVER today. |
|||||||
08-14-22 | Phillies v. Mets UNDER 7 | 0-6 | Win | 105 | 3 h 14 m | Show | |
The first two games of this three game series have been split by these teams in what were very good pitching matchups. The Phillies won game one on Friday, 2-1 and dropped yesterday's contest 0-1. Zack Wheeler toes the rubber today for the Phillies. Wheeler has a 11-5 record in his 21 starts with a 2.63 ERA. He's been a bit better of late, going 5-1 in his last seven starts with a 2.17 ERA. The Mets have received outstanding pitching all season, including a bullpen that has a 3.61 overall ERA and 2.95 ERA their last seven games. Chris Bassitt will go today with a 9-7 record in his 21 starts and a 3.32 ERA. He's been slightly better at home with a 2.73 ERA and a 2.28 ERA his last seven overall games. He's also allowed no runs over his last two starts (15 innings) with 12 KO's and two walks. I'm sticking with the theme in this series and going UNDER. |
|||||||
08-14-22 | Guardians v. Blue Jays UNDER 7 | 7-2 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Guardians have taken over 1st place in the AL Central with a 60-53 record. They lead the Minnesota Twins by 1.5-games. The Guardians saw their six-game win streak snapped on Saturday by the Blue Jays, 1-2. Shane Bieber will start today for the Guardians with a 7-6 record and 3.28 ERA. Beiber has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last three starts. The Toronto Blue Jays won't win the AL East, but they are in the thick of it for one of three AL Wild Card slots. The Jays currently hold the top Wild Card spot, a half game ahead of Seattle, two games over Tampa Bay and three teams within four games. Kevin Gausman will start today for the Jays with a 8-8 record and 2.91 ERA. He's been slightly better of late with a 3-2 record in his last seven starts and a 2.33 ERA. Gausman has not allowed a run over his last two starts (14 innings) with 15 KO's and just one walk. Both pitchers are hot and these are two playoff caliber teams. I'll take the UNDER here today. |
|||||||
08-13-22 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Royals | 13-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
The Dodgers continue their assault over both leagues as they have now won their 11th-game in a row after Friday's win over the Royals, 8-3. Tony Gonsolin had a no hitter into the 7th before a pair of his drove him from the game. Today, it looks to be a repeat of yesterday as Andrew Heaney takes to the mound for his 7th start of the season. Heany has been excellent with a 1-0 record and 0.64 ERA his his six starts. Only the Giants and Indians cracked the scoreboard against his thus far. The Royals counter with Brad Keller who is 6-12 in his 21 starts with a 4.60 ERA. Really doesn't matter who the Royals throw on the hill here today, they won't be stopping this offense of the Dodgers. I'll lay the Run Line with LA. |
|||||||
08-12-22 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Royals | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
The Dodgers have the best record in baseball and not only that, they have won 10-straight games! They have an amazing lineup of hitters, the starting staff is among the best in baseball and their relief pitching has been outstanding. All the elements of another Dodgers run to the World Series? Well, the Mets might have something to say about that. But, the Royals will not today. Tony Gonsolin is 13-1 and coming off another solid performance where he allowed no runs and just three hits over five innings. The Royals have been playing decent, winning two straight and five of their last six. Daniel Lynch will start today with a 4-7 record and 4.79 ERA. He's actually slightly worse at home with a 1-3 record in seven starts and a 5.97 ERA. I'm sticking with the red-hot Dodgers and laying the run line! |
|||||||
08-12-22 | Mariners -154 v. Rangers | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
The Seattle Mariners continue to make their run at one of the three Wild Card games in the A.L. as they have won two straight games over the Yankees. The M's are now in the 2nd spot for a Wild Card and just a half game back of the Jays for a 3-game set that gives them home field. Gone are the one and done Wild Card formats, now it's best of three so home field could be huge. Seattle starts George Kirby today who is 3-3 with a 3.40 ERA in his 15 starts. Kirby has been excellent of late, allowing two runs or fewer in each of his last five starts. The Rangers won't be going anywhere but home this postseason. They have lost three of their last four games.Texas will go with a bullpen starter tonight in Josh Sborz. I doubt anything will help as the Mariners have owned the Rangers. Sborz is 0-0 with a 5.87 ERA in the pen this year. I'll take Seattle here on Friday. |
|||||||
08-12-22 | Phillies v. Mets UNDER 7 | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia Phillies had their seven game win streak snapped yesterday by Miami, 0-3. The Phils have been very good, especially with their bullpen that has a 2.16 ERA over their last seven starts. Ranger Suarez gets the start today with a 8-5 record and 3.68 ERA. He's also been good of late, posting a 4-1 record in his last seven starts with a 2.63 ERA. The NY Mets look to extend their win streak to seven games today. They are coming off a 3-game sweep over Cincinnati, allowing the Reds a total of five runs in the three games. Max Scherzer has been excellent for the Mets and he will toe the rubber today. Scherzer is 8-2 in his 15 starts with a 1.98 ERA. That number drops to 1.77 at home and 1.37 over his last seven starts. This game has all the markings of a low scoring affair tonight. I'll take the UNDER. |
|||||||
08-12-22 | Orioles +135 v. Rays | 10-3 | Win | 135 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles are in the playoff hunt! That's right, the O's are in 4th place right now for three Wild Card slots in the AL. However, they are just a half game back of that third spot behind Tampa Bay. That makes this series with the Rays huge for that Wild Card positioning. Austin Voth will start for the O's today with a 2-1 record in his eight starts and a 3.19 ERA. He's been good in his three road starts, with a 1.64 ERA. The Rays will start Corey Kluber today with a 7-6 record and 4.05 ERA. Very nice dog price here today with the Orioles and for me that's too much to pass on. Play Baltimore. |
|||||||
08-11-22 | Orioles +112 v. Red Sox | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles had yesterday's game postponed to prepare for tonight's contest at Boston. The Orioles have been hot, winning two straight and seven of their last eight games. With three AL Wild Card berths this year the O's are tie for that third spot right now with Tampa Bay and just 2-games out of the top spot. Dean Kremer will start tonight for the O's with a 4-3 record in his 11 starts with a 3.43 ERA. Kremer coming off a excellent start where he went 6 1/3 innings and allowed just four hits and no runs to the Pirates. The Red Sox look to be going the wrong way in the AL East, losing four straight and six of their last seven games. Josh Winckowski starts today with a 5-5 record in his 10 starts and a 4.68 ERA. He's been worse at home with a 3-3 record in his six starts and a 6.18 ERA. I'm sticking with the hot Orioles tonight as a small, live dog. Play Baltimore. |
|||||||
08-10-22 | Rangers v. Astros -1.5 | Top | 8-4 | Loss | -135 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
The Texas Rangers lost game one of this three game set with their instate rivals, Houston. The Astros took game one, 7-5 on Tuesday. The Rangers dropped to 48-61 and have no postseason hopes. Glenn Otto starts today with a 4-8 record in his 16 starts and a 5.31 ERA. Otto has been ok of late but the team has not won any of his last seven starts and Otto is 0-5 during that same span. The Houston Astros are cruising to their AL West Championship with a 71-40 record and 11.5-games ahead of 2nd place Seattle. Their ACE, Just Verlander will toe the rubber today. Verlander is 15-3 in his 20 starts with a 1.73 ERA. He's been even better of late with a 7-0 record in his last seven starts and a 0.76 ERA. I'm going to lay the Run Line here with the Astros and look for an easy win. |
|||||||
08-10-22 | Rays v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 11 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay looking for one of the Wild Card slots as they sit at 58-51 and are in third place in the Wild Card standings. They are just a 1/2 game back of 2nd place Seattle and 1.5 back of 1st place Toronto. The Rays will start Jeffrey Springs today. Springs is 3-3 in his 14 starts with a nice 2.87 ERA. Springs allowed no runs in his last start vs the Tigers, going six innings and striking out six and walking none. The Milwaukee Brewers held onto 1st place for most of the season, but now find themselves in 2nd place behind St Louis, just one game back. And the Brewers will have to compete with four teams in the NL Wild Card race if they can't take the division title. Brandon Woodruff has been a shining star for the Brewers this year. Woodruff is 9-3 with a 3.49 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 5-0 record in six starts and a 2.08 ERA. I look for this contest to be low scoring and will take the UNDER. |

08-09-22 | Yankees v. Mariners +122 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 122 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
The Yankees snapped their 5-game losing streak with their win over the Mariners on Monday, 9-4. Yankees have little doubt of winning the AL East, but are happy to get back in the win column. Gerrit Cole makes the start today with a 9-4 record in his 22 starts and a 3.56 ERA. He's been slightly worse lately with a 3-2 record in his last seven starts and a 4.70 ERA. The Mariners have their eyes set on a AL Wildcard spot and they went out and picked up today's starter, Luis Castillo, just to achieve that. Castillo makes his second start for the M's and gets a rematch with the Yankees and Cole for his second start. Castillo beat the Yankees last week, going 6 2/3 innings and allowing three runs. I like the M's to bounce back here tonight with their newest pitcher on the hill. Play Seattle. |

08-09-22 | Rangers v. Astros UNDER 8 | 5-7 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Texas and Houston battle in their Lone State matchup here tonight as they begin a three-game set. The Rangers are coming off a loss on Sunday vs the White Sox, 2-8, as they split that four-game series with Chicago. Martin Perez is one of the best for the Rangers as he toes the rubber tonight. Perez is 9-2 in his 21 starts with a 2.47 ERA. Perez has been great on the road, posting a 5-0 record in 10 starts with a 2.26 ERA. Perez has allowed just one run in each of his last four starts. Houston looks to snap a two-game losing streak here on Tuesday. The bullpen has been hot too, posting a 1.15 ERA over their last seven games. Jose Urquidy starts for the Astros with a 10-4 record in his 20 starts and a 3.62 ERA. He's been very good of late with a 2.11 ERA in his last seven starts. I look for a low scoring match here tonight with these two pitchers on the hill. Play the UNDER. |

08-08-22 | Yankees v. Mariners -102 | Top | 9-4 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
The Yankees hope a new series here on Monday will break their current 5-game losing streak. The Yankees were swept by the red-hot Cardinals in their three game series and lost two of three in the previous series to the Mariners. Jameson Taillon will start for the Yankees today. Taillon is having a fine season at 10-2 with a 3.96 ERA. However, he has struggled a bit lately with a 2-1 record in his last seven games and a 5.71 ERA. The Mariners making a big push for one of the new Wild Card spots by bolstering their pitcher staff with Luis Castillo. The M's have won four of their six games though they are coming off a four-game split with the LA Angels. Their top pitcher gets the start today in Logan Gilbert. Gilbert is 10-4 with a 3.16 ERA though a slightly higher 4.54 ERA his last seven starts. I'll take the M's at home and I'll see if I can still get them as a slight dog here. Play Seattle. |

08-07-22 | Yankees v. Cardinals +120 | Top | 9-12 | Win | 120 | 5 h 60 m | Show |
I was on the Cardinals yesterday as I looked for Montgomery to show his old team, the Yankees, that they should have let him go. And he did just that, shutting out NY as the Cards won, 1-0. The Yankees in an uncharacteristic 4-game losing skid as they head into today's contest. Frankie Montas makes his Yankees debut today as he looks to avoid the Cardinals sweep. Montas comes over from the Athletics. Montas was 4-9 with a 3.18 ERA with the A's. The St Louis Cardinals are in 1st place in the NL Central, thanks to a 6-game win streak. They look for sweep today, holding the Yankees to three runs in their first two games. Adam Wainwright will start today for the Cardinals with a 8-8 record and 3.11 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 4-3 record and 1.79 ERA. Cardinals are a dog today and for me that's a very live dog with their momentum and the better pitcher on the mound. Take the Cardinals. |

08-06-22 | Angels v. Mariners UNDER 7.5 | 7-1 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
Game 2: The Angles and Mariners play game two of their Doubleheader here on Saturday. The Angels took game one on Friday, 4-3. That snapped a two game losing streak by the Halos. Reid Detmer starts game two for the Angels. Detmer is 3-3 in his 16 starts with a 3.62 ERA. He's allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last four starts. The Mariners proved they want to be serious contenders for a AL Wild Card when they acquired pitcher Luis Castillo before the trade deadline. Chris Flexen will start game two today. Flexen is 7-8 in his 20 starts with a 3.73 ERA. He's been better of late, going 5-0 in his last seven starts with a 2.79 ERA. He's also allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last five starts. Both pitchers have been good in recent starts and with that I'll be on the UNDER here today. |

The Yankees and Cardinals play game two of their Interleague series. The Cardinals won the opener on Friday, 4-3. The Yankees have dropped three straight games. However, that makes little dent in their AL East lead as they still have a 10.5-game cushion over 2nd place Toronto. Domingo German will make just his fourth start here today. German is 1-1 with a 6.39 ERA. He has two starts on the road with a 8.21 ERA. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have won five straight games. They have finally caught the Brewers in the NL Central and are tied with Milwaukee for the division lead. Jordan Montgomery will make his first start fro the Cardinals since he was traded for outfielder Harrison Bader. Montgomery makes the start against his old team. the Yankees. Montgomery was upset with the trade, thinking he would be a Yankee for life. Does he want to show his old team that they made a big mistake letting him go? I think so, and I'll take the hot Cardinals with Montgomery here today. |

The Pittsburgh Pirates look to even their I.L. series with the Baltimore Orioles here today. The Pirates lost their opener on Friday, 0-1. The loss snapped a 3-game win streak by Pittsburgh. They will send J.T. Brubaker to the hill today. Brubaker has had a rough season with a 2-9 record and 4.40 ERA. He is also coming off a terrible start where he allowed 12 hits and seven runs over 4 1/3 innings to the Phillies. The Orioles won their fourth straight game on Friday. The pitching staff has been very good, allowing three runs or fewer in each of their last five games. The bullpen has been solid all year, with a 3.08 ERA and a 2.33 home ERA. Austin Voth gets the start today. Voth is 1-1 in his seven starts with a nice 2.77 ERA. Voth has allowed just one earned run over his last two starts (8 innings). I'll take the O's here tonight to keep their win streak going. |

Colorado salvaged the final game of their four game set with the Padres, taking Thursday's contest 7-3. That snapped a five-game losing streak for the Rockies. The Rockies will start German Marquez today who is 6-9 in his 20 starts with a 5.29 ERA. Arizona has lost five of their six games after Thursday's setback at Cleveland, 4-7. They will send veteran Madison Bumgarner to the hill today. Bumgarner is 6-10 in his 21 starts with a 3.83 ERA. He's been slightly better at home with a 5-3 record and 3.03 ERA. The Rockies haven't done well on the road, going 17-36 over their last 53 away games. That includes teams with losing records as they are just 5-13 in their last 18 on the road vs those clubs. Meanwhile, Arizona has won five of their last six home games. I'll take the D'backs here today. |

The Boston Red Sox lost their opening game at Kansas City on Thursday, 3-7. That makes them on a two game losing skid as they play game two of four here in KC tonight. The Sox will send Josh Winckowski to the hill today. He's 4-5 in his nine starts with a 5.00 ERA. The Sox haven't been a good bet of late, going 6-15 in their last 21 games and 3-11 in their last 14 road games. The Royals look to put back-to-back wins together for the first time since July 24 and 25th. Veteran Zack Greinke will toe the rubber for the Royals today. Greinke is 3-6 in his 17 starts with a 4.41 ERA. However, he's been great at home with a 3-1 record in eight starts and a 1.65 ERA. I like Greinke on the hill tonight. Take the Royals. |

08-04-22 | A's v. Angels UNDER 8.5 | 8-7 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 55 m | Show | |
Oakland stunned the Angels in game two of this set on Wednesday, winning as a +2.00 dog, 3-1. That snapped a 3-game losing streak by the A's. Today, they will send Paul Blackburn to the mound. Blackburn is 6-6 in his 20 starts with a 4.15 ERA. Surprisingly, he's much better on the road this year with a 5-1 record and 1.74 ERA in 12 away starts. The Angels will send Janson Junk to the hill, making just his second start of the season. Junk had a good first start, going five innings and allowing four hits and no runs to the Royals. He also had eight KO's and just one walk. I like both pitchers the way they have performed in their current situations. I'll take the UNDER. |

08-04-22 | Cubs v. Cardinals UNDER 7.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
Game 1 of the Doubleheader has the Cubs taking on their rivals, St Louis. Their game on Wednesday was postponed as the Cubs change pitchers here in game one from Justin Steele to Marcus Stroman. Stroman is just 3-5 with a 3.99 ERA, however he's been exceptional of late. Stroman has allowed just two runs over his last four starts (20 2/3 innings). St Louis will stick with Wednesday's probable starter in Miles Mikolas. Mikolas is 8-8 in his 21 starts with a 2.86 ERA. He's been even better at home this season with a 4-2 mark in 10 starts and a 2.31 ERA. I look for this game one to go UNDER here Thursday. |

08-03-22 | Royals +136 v. White Sox | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 28 m | Show | |
Kansas City and Chicago play the rubber game of this three game set. The teams have split the first two games with the Royals taking game one, 2-1 and the White Sox game two, 9-2. The Royals will send Brady Singer to the hill today. Singer is 4-3 in his 13 starts with a 3.42 ERA. He's been slightly better of late, posting a 3.05 ERA in his last seven starts. The White Sox have won three of their last four games. Lance Lynn starts tonight with a 1-4 record in his nine starts and a 6.42 ERA. Lynn has allowed four runs or more in four of his last five starts. I'll take a shot with the dog Royals here today at this nice price against a struggling Lynn. Play Kansas City. |

08-03-22 | Orioles v. Rangers -148 | 6-3 | Loss | -148 | 2 h 23 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles looking for the three-game sweep here in Texas today. The O's won the first two of this series, 7-2 and 8-2. Kyle Bradish will get the start today with a 1-4 record in his 11 starts and a 7.01 ERA. He's been worse in his last seven starts with a 8.40 ERA. The Rangers will counter with Martin Perez. Perez is 9-2 with a 2.52 ERA in his 20 starts. Perez has allowed three total runs over his last three starts (19 innings). Perez and the Rangers a mid-size favorite here today, but I look for them to take this rubber game and salvage something from this series. Play Texas. |

08-03-22 | Mariners +156 v. Yankees | Top | 7-3 | Win | 156 | 3 h 32 m | Show |
The Seattle Mariners made a serious commitment to making the playoffs this year with the acquisition of the top pitcher in the trade market, Luis Castillo. The Mariners have made big strides, especially heading into the All-Star Break. They have won 18 of their last 24 games to 56-49 overall. While they likely won't catch Houston, they are a contender for one of the new Wild Card slots. Castillo makes his first start for the Mariners here today and it will be against the best team in the A.L, the NY Yankees. The Yankees will start Garrit Cole today. Cole is 9-3 in his 21 starts with a 3.30 ERA. He is coming off one of his poorer starts, going six innings and giving up seven hits and five runs to the Royals. I'm going to take a shot with a nice dog price on Seattle here today. The Yankees haven't seen Castillo and he might just shock them with a win. Play Seattle. |

The Dodgers finally won a game this year at Oracle Stadium in San Francisco. They were 0-3 before their win on Monday, 8-2. The Dodgers lead the Padres in the NL West by 12-games. The Giants fell below the .500 mark with their loss. One of the stars of the starting staff starts tonight for the Dodgers in Tyler Anderson. Anderson is 10-1 in his 17 starts with a 2.64 ERA. He's been slightly better of late with a 2.28 ERA his last seven starts. He has also allowed more than one run in just one of his last five starts. The Giants have now lost seven of their 10 games to the Dodgers this year. Onetime Dodger Alex Wood starts tonight for the Giants. Wood is 7-8 in his 20 starts with a 4.11 ERA. HE's been slightly better at home with a 3.78 ERA. Wood has not allowed more than two runs but one time in his last five starts. I look for this to be a low scoring game here tonight. Take the UNDER. |

The Detroit Tigers look to snap a 3-game losing streak here tonight as play game two of their series with the Twins. They lost on Monday to Minnesota, 3-5. Despite losing three in a row the bullpen has been excellent of late, posting a 1.61 ERA over their last seven games and 3.05 on the season. Matt Manning will make just his third start of the season and his first since April 16. Manning had a 2.25 ERA in his first two starts before being injured. The Twins now just 1-game ahead of the Guardians in the AL Central. Minnesota has lost four of their last five games. They turn to Chris Archer tonight. Archer is 2-5 in his 17 starts with a 4.04 ERA. I'm looking at Manning returning as making the Tigers a live dog here tonight. The price is right, come on down! |

Arizona looks to snap a 4-game losing streak here tonight as they play Cleveland. The Diamondbacks are coming off a loss to the Guardians last night, 5-6. The bullpen has been very good of late, posting a 1.73 ERA over their last seven games. Zac Gallen starts tonight with a 5-2 record in his 19 starts and a 3.32 ERA. Gallen has allowed just one run over his last two starts (12 innings). The Cleveland Guardians have won two straight and are hot on the heals of the Twins in the AL Central, just one-game back. Their bullpen has been equally impressive, posting a 0.95 ERA over the last seven games and a 3.43 overall ERA. Triston McKenzie starts for the Guardians with a 7-6 record in his 18 starts and a 3.16 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 3-1 record in six starts and a 2.89 ERA. I like this to be a low scoring game tonight. Take UNDER. |

08-01-22 | Mets -1.5 v. Nationals | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 28 m | Show | |
The Mets closed out their series with the Marlins with a win on Sunday, 9-3. The Win extended the Mets win streak to six games with the sweep of Miami. The Mets need every win as the Braves are hot on their heals just four games back in the NL East. The Mets will start Max Scherzer here on Monday. Scherzer is 6-2 on the season with a 2.09 ERA. He's been even better of late with a 2-1 mark in his last seven starts and a 1.40 ERA. Scherzer hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his last seven starts. The Nationals lost two of their three games to St Louis after Sunday's setback, 0-5. Pat Corbin makes his 22nd start today. Corbin has had a rough season with a 4-14 record and 6.49 ERA. He's allowed at least five runs in each of his last three starts. The Mets need wins against teams like this to keep their lead in the division and with Scherzer on the hill I'll lay the Run line with New York. |

07-31-22 | Cubs v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 57 m | Show | |
The Giants took Saturday's game with the Cubs, 5-4, holding off a 9th inning rally by Chicago as they got 3-runs but came up one run short. The Cubs bullpen has been great of late, posting a 1.61 ERA over their previous seven games. The will be in support of today's starter, Adrian Sampson. Sampson is 0-1 in his six starts with a 3.74 ERA. Sampson has allowed three runs or fewer in four straight starts. The Giants can get back to the .500 mark with a win today. San Francisco's offense scored their most runs on Saturday then they had in any of their previous eight games. Carlos Rondon will get the start today with a 8-6 record in 20 starts. Rondon has a 3.18 ERA and 2.05 home ERA. The Cubs have gone under in five of their last six games while the Giants have gone under in five of their last seven games. I stated the Giants scored more runs on Saturday then their previous eight games. The Giants are 2-10-1 O/U in their last 13 games when scoring five runs or more in their previous game. I'm taking this one UNDER on Sunday evening. |

The Angels with the big comeback win on Saturday. LA was down 7-5 going into the bottom of the 9th when they put a five spot on the board to win, 9-7. The Rangers had taken the first two games of this four-game set with LA, 7-2 and 2-0 before that bad loss on Saturday. Dane Dunning will look to get them back on the win track today. However, he's just 1-6 in his 19 starts with a 4.38 ERA. More important the Rangers are 0-10 in his 10 road starts. The Angels will counter with Reid Detmers today. Detmers is 3-3 in his 15 starts with a 3.84 ERA. He's been better of late with a 2.88 ERA over his last seven starts. He's also allowed just two earned runs over his last three starts (17 innings). I'll take the Angels here in the final game against a Rangers' pitcher that has yet to get a team win on the road. Take the Angels. |

George Kirby gets the start today for the M's with a 2-3 record in his 13 starts. Kirby has been slightly better on the road with a 2-1 record in five starts and a 2.67 ERA.

Nick Pivetta will start today with a 8-7 record in his 20 starts and a 4.35 ERA. Pivetta has been a bit worse of late, posting a 2-2 record in his last seven games with a 6.00 ERA.

He's been good on the road though, with a 2-2 record and 2.31 ERA. And overall his last seven starts he's posted a 3.82 ERA. The Giants playoff hopes drop each games as they now are below .500 at 49-50. Coming into this season it was the Giants bullpen that was one of the best in baseball. This season, horrible at 4.55 ERA. And last seven games, a 8.68 ERA. Alex Cobb starts for the Giants tonight with a 3-4 record and 4.62 ERA. Cobb allowed eight hits and four runs last time out to the Dodgers over 5 2/3 innings. Cubs a live dog here tonight, especially the way the Giants bullpen has performed lately. Take Chicago. |

The Twins will start Joe Ryan here tonight, their pitcher with the most wins at 7-3. Ryan has a 2.89 ERA but has been slightly worse of late with a 2-1 record and 3.58 ERA over his last seven starts. The Padres hopes of a NL West title are fading as they are now 11.5-games back of the Dodgers in the NL West. The Padres still have to fight for one of the new Wild Card slots though. Blake Snell will start for the Padres tonight. Snell is 2-5 with a 4.74 ERA. He is coming off one of his best starts, allowing four hits and no runs over five innings to the Mets. I like the Padres as I hope Snell's last start is just an indication of what's to come for him. Play San Diego. |

Patrick Sandoval starts tonight with a 3-6 record in 16 starts and a 3.43 ERA. He's been slightly worse in recent starts, going 0-5 in his last seven outings with a 4.25 ERA.

He's been a bit worse lately, going 1-4 in his last seven starts with a 4.36 ERA. The Blue Jays are one of the hottest teams in baseball right now, winning seven straight games. Still, they are really fighting for a AL Wild Card since they still trail the Yankees by 11.5-games. Kevin Gausman will get the start today for the Jays with a 7-7 record and 3.00 ERA. Gausman has allowed more than three runs only once in his 18 starts this year. I'll lay the Run line today with a very hot Jays team and Gausman. |

Noah Syndergaard will toe the rubber today for the Angels with a 5-7 record in his 14 starts and a 4.00 ERA. Syndergaard is slightly worse on the road with a 5.96 ERA and 1-5 record. The Royals won their second straight game on Sunday over Tampa Bay, 4-2. The Royals are just 38-57 overall on the season and well back in the AL Central. Veteran Zack Greinke gets the start today with his 3-6 record and 4.63 ERA. Greinke has been really good at home though, with a 3-1 record in his seven games and a 1.86 ERA. I'll take the Royals here tonight against a very poor Angels team. |

07-25-22 | Guardians +100 v. Red Sox | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
The Cleveland Guardians trying to make up ground on the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central. The Guardians are 48-46 and trail 1st place Minnesota by 3-games. However, losing two straight games doesn't help close that gap. Cleveland split their four game series with the White Sox, taking the first two and losing the last two. Zach Plesac will start for the Guardians tonight. Plesac is 2-7 in his 17 starts with a 3.93 ERA. Plesac has not allowed over three runs in any of his last nine starts. The Red Sox bring a five-game losing streak into today's contest. The Sox lost two of three to the Yankees and then got swept over the weekend by the Blue Jays, getting outscored 10-40 by Toronto. Nick Pivetta will start tonight for the Sox. Pivetta is 8-7 in his 19 starts with a 4.50- ERA. He's coming off two bad starts where he allowed 13 runs over 7 2/3 innings. I'll take the road team here as the Sox look to be in a free fall. Play Cleveland. |

07-24-22 | Astros v. Mariners UNDER 7 | 8-5 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
Houston Astros look to win their fifth in a row here today in Seattle. Seattle was one of the hottest teams in baseball until they met Houston. The Astros have taken the first two of this three game series. Framber Valdez will start Sunday's contest with a 8-4 record in his 18 starts anda 2.66 ERA. His road ERA has been very good at 1.86 in 11 starts. Seattle will try and salvage one game of this series with Robbie Ray on the hill. Ray is 8-6 in his 19 starts with a 3.54 ERA. His home ERA has been a very nice 2.25 ERA. Both pitchers are excellent and with that I'm just be on the UNDER here today. |

07-24-22 | Blue Jays -139 v. Red Sox | Top | 8-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
Toronto and Boston conclude their series here on Sunday and the Blue Jays looking for the sweep after taking Saturday's contest, 4-1. That makes four wins in a row for Toronto and six of their last seven games. While the Jays have little shot of catching the Yankees in the AL East, they can still garner one of the Wild Cards slots in a newly revamped Wild Card playoff postseason. This year they play the best of three Wild Card round games instead of the one and done format of previous years. Ross Stripling will start for the Jays today with a 4-3 record in his 13 starts and a 2.84 ERA. Stripling has allowed two runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts. He also has a 2.41 ERA over his last seven starts. Boston is seeing their postseason aspirations dwindle as they have lost three straight games and seven of their last eight. Brayan Bello will start today for the Sox with a 0-1 record after two starts. Bello has a 10.13 ERA and has yet to make it past four innings of work. The Jays are hot, they have a hot pitcher on the hill and the Red Sox are struggling. This will have me on Toronto again here on Sunday. Play Toronto. |

07-23-22 | Nationals v. Diamondbacks -148 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The Washington Nationals play game two out West vs the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight. Washington lost game one on Fridayy, 1-10. That was their 10th loss in their last 11 games and 18th in their last 20 games. Anibal Sanchez makes just his second start since Sept 26, 2020 here tonight. Sanchez sat out all of last season and the first half of this season. Arizona has won two straight including last night's contest over the Nats. Madison Bumgarner will toe the rubber tonight for the D'backs. Bumgarner is 5-9 this season with a 3.83 ERA. He's been slightly better at home with a 3.15 ERA in 10 starts. I'm going to take Arizona tonight since who knows how Sanchez will perform. And he likely won't be around long in either case. Take Arizona. |

07-23-22 | Blue Jays -135 v. Red Sox | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show |
Toronto realistically fighting for a wild card spot at this point in the AL East as the Yankees are 13.5-games ahead of them. Still, with a 51-43 record the Jays have a good shot at a playoff spot with this year's new Wild Card format. Toronto has won four straight, including a monster blowout win on Friday over the Red Sox, 28-5. That also makes six of their last seven games a win. Alek Manoah will start today for the Jays with a 10-4 record and 2.28 ERA. The Red Sox will try and snap a 3-game losing streak. They have also lost seven of their last eight games as their Wild Card aspirations look to be dwindling. Kutter Crawford gets the start today with a 0-1 record in his four starts and a 3.60 ERA. I'm going to stick with the hot Blue Jays and one of the best pitchers in the American League. Play Toronto. |

07-22-22 | Astros v. Mariners +106 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 21 h 19 m | Show |
The Houston Astros opened the 2nd half of the baseball season in fine fashion by taking both ends of a home doubleheader away from the Yankees on Thursday. Now they travel to NorthWest to take on Seattle, arguably the hottest team in baseball. The Astros will send Jose Urquidy to the hill tonight. Urquidy is 8-4 in his 17 starts with a 4.09 ERA and slightly higher 5.20 road ERA. The Mariners hated to see the break come as they are on a 14-game win streak and have leapt into 2nd place in the AL West, 9-games back of the Astros. Marco Gonzales makes the start today for the M's with a 5-9 record in his 18 starts and a 3.50 ERA. The Astros had to play two games yesterday and that will have taken a toll on the players and the bullpen. I'll take the hottest team in baseball here tonight. Play Seattle. |

07-22-22 | Yankees v. Orioles +150 | 7-6 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 15 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles were hot to close out the first half of the baseball season, winning 11 of their last 13 games. Though they did drop two of three game to the Tampa Bay Rays in that final series. Still, the O's have built some momentum has they take on the Yankees here tonight. The Yankees had to go play a doubleheader yesterday in Houston and were swept in both ends by the Astros. They then had to hit the road to come here to Baltimore to play the Orioles. That should benefit Baltimore tonight as they catch the Yankees with a tired pen and some weary players. The O's will send Tyler Wells to the hill with a 7-5 record and nifty 3.37 ERA. He's been very good at home with a 2-0 mark in is seven starts and a 2.75 ERA. The Yankees will counter with Jemeson Taillon who is 10-2 in his 18 starts and a 3.86 ERA. Tallion has allowed 12 runs over his last 15 1/3 innings however. Baltimore a good sized home dog and with the Yanks playing two yesterday and then traveling, I see the O's as a live home dog tonight. Play Baltimore. |

07-21-22 | Yankees v. Astros -128 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 0 m | Show |
Game one of this doubleheader here has two of the best in the American league and possibly a AL Pennant matchup with the Yankees taking on the Astros. The Yankees closed the first half with two wins over Boston, outscoring the Sox 27-3. Jordan Montgomery gets the start today with a 3-2 record in his 18 starts and a 3.26 ERA. The Houston Astros, like the Yankees, are cruising in their division as they lead the AL West by 9-games over the Seattle Mariners. The Astros will start Cristian Javier today who is 6-5 in his 13 starts with a 3.76 ERA and a 3.11 home ERA. Both teams are very good and both pitchers are top notch. I expect a split here today, but in this one I'm backing the home team. Play Houston. |

The Mariners now have Wild Card aspirations with this spurt that has moved them to 50-42 overall. Chris Flexen gets the start today with his 6-8 record in his 17 starts. Flexen has a 3.84 ERA but has been very good during this win streak, winning his last two starts while allowing just one earned run over 12 2/3 innings.

He's been much worse at home with a 2-4 record and 8.07 ERA. Your free play for Sunday is on the OVER. |

07-16-22 | Orioles +108 v. Rays | 6-4 | Win | 108 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles joined the Seattle Mariners and LA Dodgers as one of the hottest teams in baseball. That's right, the Orioles! They had won 10 straight games before losing on Thursday to Tampa Bay, 4-5. And as they say, "The Price is Right." None of those 10 wins had a price higher than -1.10 and all the way up to +1.35. Today, Dean Kramer looks to get them back to another streak. Kramer is 3-1 in his seven starts with a nice 2.15 ERA. He's been great on the road with a 2-0 record in three starts and a 0.51 ERA. The Rays have rattled off 5-straight wins of their own after Friday's game. Ryan Yarbrough will toe the rubber today looking for his first win of the season after six starts. Yarbrough has a 6.20 ERA and 7.59 ERA at home. I'll take the small dog price on the Orioles here today with a better pitcher on the hill. Play Baltimore. |

The Seattle Mariners remain the hottest team in baseball after winning their 12th straight game on Friday over the Rangers, 8-3. They also closed another game on division leader Houston, now trailing by 10-games. Seattle has their best pitcher on the mound today in Logan Gilbert. Gilbert is 10-3 in his 18 starts with a 2.89 ERA. The Rangers dropped their second game in a row with Friday's loss. The bullpen has been hit hard in recent times with a 6.68 ERA over their last seven games. Spencer Howard will get the start here on Saturday. Howard will make his fourth start with a 1-0 record. However, his ERA is a very high 8.25. Hard to go against a red hot team with their best pitcher on the hill. And I won't, I'll be back on the Mariners here today. |

The Mets took their opening game with the Cubs on Thursday, 8-0, making that their second win in a row. The Mets are trying to hold off the surging Braves who now are just 2.5 games back in the NL East division. The Mets will start Taijuan Walker in game one of their doubleheader today. Walker is 7-2 in his 15 starts with a 2.63 ETA. Walker has not allowed more than three runs in any of his last six starts. The Cubs look to snap a 7-game losing streak here today. Chicago was swept in LA and then returned home and was swept by Baltimore. Marcus Stroman will make his 11th start with a 2-5 record and 4.51 ERA. Stroman has been very inconsistent, pitching well one game and then not the next. I like the Mets against a floundering Cubs team here today. Play New York. |

The Rangers are 41-46 in the AL West. Matt Bush starts tonight for the Rangers with no record in his three starts and a 3.00 ERA. Bush has pitched well in limited action, but Ray has been great as have the Mariners. I'll be on the Mariners again tonight. |

The Cardinals are six games over the .500 mark and are just 2.5-games back of the Brewers in the NL Central. Adam Wainwright gets the start today for the Cardinals. Wainwright is 6-7 in his 17 games this season and a 3.15 ERA. He's been better at home with a 3-3 mark and 2.21 ERA. This looks to be a low scoring game despite the Dodgers best offense in the league. Take the UNDER. |

Play Colorado. |

07-11-22 | Mets v. Braves UNDER 7 | 4-1 | Win | 105 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Great pitching matchup here today between the NY Mets and Atlanta Braves. The Braves have closed the gap in the NL East to just 1.5-games and could be in first place after this series. The Mets will look to avoid that and will send Max Scherzer to the hill today with a 5-1 record in his nine starts and a 2.26 ERA. Scherzer returned from the IL after missing all of June and pitched well on July 5, going six innings, allowing two hits and no runs to the Reds.

Alcantara is coming off one of his best outings where he went eight innings vs the Angels, allowing just two hits and not runs. The Mets now have to contend with the Cardinals, who are hot on their heels in the NL East. The Mets will send Carlos Carrasco to the hill today. Carrasco is 9-4 in his 16 starts with a 4.53 ERA. He is also coming off an excellent start where he allowed just one run over 5 2/3 innings to the Rangers. I expect Alcantara to keep this score low today and with that I'll be on the UNDER. |

Rondon is 7-5 in his 16 starts with a 2.87 ERA. Rondon has allowed two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts. The Padres have won two straight games as they look to keep pace with 1st place LA Dodgers in the NL West. The Padres will start Yu Darvish today who is 7-4 in his 15 starts with a 3.53 ERA.

That makes them losers of six of their last seven games. Patrick Sandoval starts today for the Halos with a 3-3 record in his 13 starts and a 3.09 ERA. Sandoval coming off one of his worst starts last time out where he allowed eight hits and five runs over just five innings in a 1-9 loss at Houston. Meanwhile the Orioles have won six straight games. They still are three games under the .500 mark however. Today Dean Kremer will start today with a 2-1 record in his six starts. Kremer has a 2.48 ERA and has allowed one run or no runs in four of his six starts. Not sure the Angels should be favored over anyone these days, especially on the road. I'll take the Orioles here today. |

07-08-22 | Giants v. Padres UNDER 7.5 | 3-6 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
The Padres took game one of this four game set on Thursday, 2-1, scoring the winning run in extra innings. The defending NL West Champion Giants are pretty much out of the division race as they have dropped almost back to .500 at 41-40. They trail the Dodgers by 11.5 games. Sam Long will start today for the Padres. Long has been very good for the Padres, posting a 0-1 record in his five starts with a 0.90 ERA. In fact, Long has allowed one run total in his five starts and has yet to walk a batter. Long likely won't be around much past the third inning though as he acts more as an opener then anything. The Padres are in 2nd in the NL West, now 5.5-games back. Blake Snell will get the start today with a 0-5 record in his eight starts and a 5.13 ERA. Snell looks to get back to last year's form and his last start was more like his old self. Snell when five innings vs the Dodgers and allowed just one run with 12 KO's. If Snell can look like he did last game this will be low scoring. I'll take the UNDER. |

07-08-22 | Phillies v. Cardinals +113 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
The Phillies look to build on their win from Thursday over the Nationals, 5-3. They still trail 1st place NY Mets by 8-games in the NL East. Zack Wheeler will get the start here today with a 7-4 record in his 15 starts and a 2.66 ERA. He hasn't been quite so good on the road where he's 2-2 over six starts and a 4.45 ERA. St Louis also coming off a win on Thursday over Atlanta, 3-2 as a +2.15 dog. That win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Cards. Adam Wainwright gets the start today with a 6-6 mark over 16 starts and 3.26 ERA. He's been better at home with a 3-2 record in seven starts and a 2.25 ERA. Cards as a home dog here today is a too much to pass on for me. I see very good value with St Louis at home. Play St Louis. |

07-08-22 | Nationals v. Braves UNDER 9 | 2-12 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
The Washington Nationals begin this 3-game set with the Braves on the heals of a 1-2 series with the Phillies. The Nats have now lost seven of their last eight games. The offense has been bad, scoring more than three runs just twice during that eight game run. Erick Fedde will get the start here today for the Nats with a 5-5 record over his 16 starts and a 4.29 ERA. He's pitched very well of late, allowing just four earned runs over his last three starts (17 innings). The Atlanta Braves have been making steady progress at catching the NY Mets in the NL East. They did lose on Thursday to St Louis, 2-3. Charlie Morton will start today with a 4-3 record and a 4.35 ERA. Morton has also pitched well of late, allowing two runs or fewer in his last four games. Both pitchers have been very good and with that I'll be taking the UNDER here tonight. |

07-08-22 | Angels v. Orioles -124 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
The LA Angels win streak was brief at just one game as they lost game one of this series with the Orioles, 1-4 on Thursday. That makes them 1-5 over their last six games. Their bad run is now 17-35 over their last 52 games. They are also 5-17 in their last 22 road games. Meanwhile, Baltimore has won five straight games having swept Texas and now game one with the Angels. Tyler Wells starts today with a 7-4 record and 3.09 ERA. He's been better at home with a 4-2 record in his six starts with a 2.20 ERA. Wells has allowed one run or no runs in each of his last four starts. Reid Detmers will toe the rubber with the Angels. Detmers is 2-3 in his 12 starts with a 4.66 ERA. O's playing well and Wells has been excellent. Great price too on the O's at home. Play Baltimore. |

07-08-22 | Rays -165 v. Reds | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -165 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
Inter League action here today has the Tampa Bay Rays heading to Cincinnati to take on the Reds. The Rays just took two of three from Boston and has also won five of their last six games to improve to 45-37 in the AL East. Unfortunately they are pretty much playing for a Wild Card at this point since the Yankees are 14.5-games ahead of them in the AL East. Shane McClanahan will get the start for the Rays with a 9-3 record in his 16 starts and a 1.74 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 2-1 mark in five starts and a 1.44 ERA. McClananhan has allowed one run or no runs in each of his last five starts and two runs or fewer in 11 straight games. The Cincinnati Reds split their two games with the Pirates, taking Thursday's contest, 5-1. The Reds are now just 6-15 in their last 21 games and 5-16 in their last 21 home games. Luis Castillo will start today with a 3.4 record and 3.09 ERA. Castillo has pitched well of late, allowing one run over his lat 13 innings. Even with the success of late of Castillo, McClanahan looks to be a AL Cy Young candidate right now and is just too good. Play Tampa Bay. |

07-07-22 | Cardinals v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
The St Louis Cardinals look to snap a four-game losing streak here today in Atlanta. The Cardinals had closed the gap in the NL Central with the Brewers before this losing streak. They now trail Milwaukee by 3-games. Matthew Liberatore will start today for the Red Birds with a 2-1 record in his five starts and a 5.66 ERA. He has been hit hard in his three road starts with a 0-1 record and 10.978 ERA. The Braves have closed the gap in the NL East to just 2.5-games behind the NY Mets after winning three straight and five of their last six games. Spencer Strider will get the start today with a 3-1 record in his seven starts and a 3.82 ERA. Strider has a great fastball and lately has been on his game, allowing just one run over his last 12 innings with 18 KO's and just one walk. I look for Strider to dominate the Cardinals hitters here today. I'll lay the Run Line with the Braves |

07-07-22 | Angels v. Orioles -107 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
The LA Angels snapped their four game losing streak with a win over Miami on Wednesday, 5-2. The Angels who once contended for the AL West are now double digits back in the standings. Chase Silseth starts today for the Halos with a 1-2 record in his five starts and a 5.23 ERA. The Orioles won their fourth in a row with their win on Wednesday over Texas, 2-1. They swept their 3-game series with the Rangers. Jordan Lyles will start today with a 4-7 mark in his 16 starts and a 4.70 ERA. He's been very good at home this year with a 1-2 mark in six starts and a 2.92 ERA. I look for the Orioles to beat LA here today behind Lyles who is coming off one of his best starts of the season. Play Baltimore. |

07-06-22 | Giants v. Diamondbacks +115 | 7-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
The San Francisco Giants are fading fast in the NL West. Once a favorite to battle the Dodgers for the division crown, the Giants looked good early in the season only to fall on hard times in recent weeks and months. They have lost six straight games and now trail LA by 10.5-games. The once mighty bullpen has also taken a beaten with a 7.24 ERA over their last seven games. Alex Cobb gets the start today for the Giants with a 3-3 record over his 11 starts with a 4.94 ERA. He's been worse on the road with a 6.41 ERA. Arizona has taken two straight from the Giants as they look for the sweep today. Merrill Kelly is 7-5 in his 16 starts with a 3.46 ERA. He is coming off an excellent start where he allowed just one run over seven innings in a win over Colorado. I'll take the D'backs here today as they take the 3-game series from SF. |

07-06-22 | Rays +116 v. Red Sox | 7-1 | Win | 116 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay and Boston have split the first two games of this series with Boston winning game one on Monday, 4-0, and Tampa Bay winning last night, 8-4. Only one game separates these two AL East teams in the division, but both trail the Yankees by over 10 games. The Indians will start Corey Kluber today. Kluber is 3-5 on the season and has a 3.91 ERA. After a fine string of starts, Kluber only lasted three innings in his last start at Toronto, allowing five runs. The Sox look to have Brayan Bello make his major league debut here today. With the Red Sox starting staff having injuries, Bello was called up to get his first start. Bello was a combined 10-4 with a 2.33 ERA in the minors and is one of Boston's top prospects. For me, I'll stick with the Rays here today and Kluber who has looked much better in recent starts. Play Tampa Bay. |

07-06-22 | Rangers v. Orioles OVER 9.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
The Texas Rangers look to snap a three-game losing streak and avoid the sweep at the hands of Baltimore here today. Each of the first two games the Rangers were ahead or tied in the 9th inning, only to lose. They dropped game one 6-7 and then last night in extra innings 9-10. Both game being high scoring. The Rangers will start Glenn Otto today who is 4-4 in his 10 starts with a 5.63 ERA. Otto has allowed 10 runs over his last six innings with six walks and just KO's. The Orioles bullpen has taken a pounding in recent games with a 7.50 ERA over their last seven games. That will put more pressure on starter Spenser Watkins. Watkins is 1-1 in his 10 starts with a 4.61 ERA. Both starters are fair at best and both pens are overworked. I'll take the OVER today. |

07-05-22 | Rangers v. Orioles +100 | 9-10 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
The Texas Rangers look to snap their two game losing streak here tonight in the 2nd game of their series in Baltimore. The Orioles took game one on Monday, 7-6 as the Rangers couldn't hold a 6-5 lead going into the bottom of the 9th inning. Spencer Howard makes just his second start of the season here tonight. Howard went just three innings in his first start at Toronto, giving up six hits and six runs. The O's will counter with Austin Voth. Voth has just three starts with a 0-1 record and 2.08 ERA. He's pitched well, though he has only gone a maximum of three innings thus far. I'll take a shot on the Orioles at home here today. |
