4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Taking the CUBS. Not a chance that I back C-Mart. Guy with a 7 road ERA in 6 starts. Granted. A bit inflated from 10 runs against the Dodgers where he couldn't get out of the first inning. But - 4 runs in Cincy, 6 at Philly, 3 at Arizona. The guy gives up runs. Cubs can hit. Davies with a 2.15 ERA his last 7 starts. Nothing fancy in his home splits. Respectable. This is mainly the fade of C-Mart and the Cards in general. Losers of 8 of 10, 10 of 12. Let's toss out the 4 game set vs Arizona (3-1) and we see a 2-4 record losing to the both the Cubs and White Sox. Obviously. A little trouble beating good teams. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS

Taking the METS. No way San Diego loses again right. 4 in a row. 5 of 6, 7 of 10, and 10 of 13. Have scored more than 4 runs once in those 13 games. They only scored 4 runs twice! So for those easily confused - that is 3 or less runs in 10 of 13 games. And they are favored? Get out of here. Paddack had a nice break out in 2019. Hasn't been close to that since.  I will take a shot that Luccesi wants to prove something to his old team. He hasn't been all that great. He is good to get bombed and give up 3/4 in an inning. Good news is, he has looked great in 7 innings of work in his only action at home. And, his las 3 starts, granted, 11 total innings, 2 runs on 7 hits and 13Ks. 4* Money Maker NY METS

Taking the MARLINS. Oh look. Another team that in way can get swept in the Braves. This Atlanta team is reeling a little right now. Forget the fact that Miami has played these guys tough - as in, winning 5 of 6 this season. Braves have now lost 4 in a row. Line makers making them a dog give you a pretty good sign of what they think of Smyly, and how Atlanta is playing as a whole right now. Smyly has pitched better of late, but the guy is prone for a 5/6/7 run game every few starts. Lopez at home and you need to bring the glasses and microscope out to see his .83 WHIP .171 BAA and 1.21 ERA. 46Ks in 44 innings 27 hits and just 2 HRs.  Call it a 4* MARLINS Money Maker

Taking the PHILLIES. No way the Yankees get swept right? Miracle comeback for them and their 'elite' bullpen nearly blows in the bottom of the ninth, before blowing it in the 10th. This team is mess right now. Philly feeling it. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLES

Taking the CARDS here. Ok. Gant off his worse outing of the year. I don't mind backing him a this price. Guy has been an absolute monster on the road this year. Regression coming. Probably. I mean, who can pitch to a .90 ERA in 6 starts especially when his walk count is way high. That being said, Hendricks has been just ok. He isn't prime self either. Again. The number has value, and I will grab it. 4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS 

Taking the REDS. Marquez isn't terrible. But this Colorado team is absolutely horrible on the road. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS

4* Money Maker NY YANKEES 

4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking the WHITE SOX. We had the Sox vs another Jays lefty Robbie Ray the other night. Now. They didn't break him getting one run, but, they took care of the bullpen. Another lefty and Ryu is  a tough one. That being said - how do we not take the Sox as a dog? They are now 14-4 this year vs lefties. 29-4 their last 33 games vs lefties. 27-6 with Run Lines vs lefties. They have had success vs lefties. Plus money. I'll take the low hanging fruit and hope for the  best. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the ASTROS. Fading Rodriguez. An ERA of 7.92 his last 5 starts. His last 7 starts 6.94. Houston 2nd best BA in the league hitting lefties at a .288 clip and league leading 31 HRs vs southpaws. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS. 

Taking the REDS, again. Not much from the offense last night. They should be able to do something tonight vs Anderson. Brewers bullpen a bit thinner tonight. I know Cincy pen a mess and Milwaukee hot. But give me the small home faves. 4* Money Maker CINCINATTI REDS

Taking the TIGERS. uh. Will probably regret this one because I liked Detroit yesterday and did not play them. These guys have been playing a lot better. Mize has been solid at home. Flexen with brutal road splits. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX. 13-4 vs Lefties this year. 28-4 last 32 vs lefties. 26-6 RL vs lefties. Safe to say, White Sox hit lefties a bit. They did lose to the Tigers and their lefty, Tarik Skubel in their last lefty outing. 

Taking the GIANTS. Fading Lyles here. If you listened to the Late Money Show then sorry for repeating myself. 7.83 ERA in 5 starts .361 BA Against  1.96 WHIP 35 hits in 20 innings. Guy is a bullpen session. At this price, Wood worth the shot. His road ERA a full run less than at home.  (3.94 -2.86) 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS

Taking the REDS. Fading Houser here on the road. Short price for Cincy at home. Both teams on 4 game win streaks. Reds better club at home. Should get it done here. 4* Money Maker CINCINATTI REDS

4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the RED SOX. How are the Yankees favored like this? Am I missing something? Has this team been some juggernaught this season? Who the heck is German to be laying this with that lineup behind him? Garrett Richards at first look doesn't seem that inviting. But lets toss out his woes and high Fenway ERA (6.38 4 starts). On the road in 7 starts, a 2.59 ERA. Less hits (37, 41.1) than innings. Nothing super sexy about his WHIP or BAA, but he is getting the job done. Has given up 2 or less runs in 6 of those starts (4 runs 1 game) More importantly, the offense hits behind him. German is an oddity. You see his 4 something home ERA and think, oh, he isn't that sharp. But in 5 starts a solid .96 WHIP and .202 BAA. Yet 0-2 and a 4.68 ERA. Not being able to get outs when guys get on base is pretty important if you are a starter. Like I said. The lineup behind German has trouble scoring against a lot of pitchers. Have to grab a good offense (#3 in AL) at this price. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

Taking the GIANTS. Comes down to Cueto's home number vs Hendricks road splits. SF has overachieved so far this season. But the pitching has been consistent. Tough at home 18-8, while Cubbies 11-16 on the road. Hendriks has been pitching to an over 4 ERA no matter where he takes the ball. Hitters on the road having success raking at a .305 clip. Give me the hot streak winners of 3 in a row over the team that lost 3 in a row. No way Cubs get swept right? They are in first place in NL Central! 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

Taking the ROCKIES. So my initial leanings here were to take the A's. Hot team, 4 straight, 7 of 10. Started out a little favorite at -112/120. Rockies bad on the road - have said that a few times during the live show. At home though, they are 19-10. Better than Oakland's 17-17. Marquez, minus one game vs SF at home has been good. His last 5 overall starts have been a 1.97 ERA and a .202 BAA. Let's not be fooled by Kaprielian's sub 3 ERA. His lone 7 inning 0 run home starts helps his case. His other 4 starts on the road result in a 4.40 ERA. Colorado is a tough place to pitch for any pitcher. Now a kid making his 5th career start. Give me the short home faves. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES 

Taking the REDS. Will grab Cincy for the sweep here. No way Cards go down again right? Only have lost 4 in a row. Gant has been solid all year. Miley not too shabby and Reds with 3 straight wins under their belt. Another dog here on Sunday. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

4 * Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the INDIANS. Like Cal Quantrill. Short number vs bad Orioles team. But that is because Cal is getting stretched out here. He won't go really deep. He will be effective enough that the Tribe bats can get to Lopez. Lopez has 1 start and 10 games pitched against Cleveland. 15 innings 21 hits 17 runs 9 walks and just 12 strikeouts. Limited or not, we see by his 5+ ERA this season, that Lopez gets hit a bit. His ERA is higher at home, 6.31 in 6 starts than overall, 5.29 with opponents raking him for a .305 clip. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

Taking the PIRATES. Ok. So Alcantara is probably a better starter than Kuhl. You aren't going to get many arguments over that. That being said, his road numbers aren't as great as his overall ones. 5.40 ERA on the road, 2.29 at home, both in 6 starts. BAA, WHiP, walks all higher on the road. Let's add in the Marlins have lost 8 in a row, 9 of 10, plus, 8 of 10 here in Pitt - why are they favored? Pirates have reeled off 3 straight wins themselves. They know it will be a bad year, but I think a sweep for them is a big thing. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURG PIRATES 

Taking the METS. Almost went RUN LINE here. But at this price, will back the best pitcher in baseball and hope the bats can generate a run. Two if they really want to make their ace happy! 4* Money Maker NY METS

4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS

4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS

4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS

Taking the ROCKIES. Oh, Colorado home. Ok, I'll bite. At least they win here. 16-12. Short fave. Count me in against Texas who is 9-20 when out of their park. Not quite Rockies territory 4-22, but still bad. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

Taking the BRAVES. Give me Fried all day here. Nats in a tailspin dropping 5 in a row. Stras has been alright, but not near the level Fried has been throwing. Washington offense also a crap shoot. Leaning under 8, but more confident hat Atlanta gets the win. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES

Taking TAMPA BAY. Will again back the Rays. I said it yesterday. Will say it again. Yankees having problems beating good teams. TB is a good team. With their ace on the hill. If this was Cole on the road vs a 4th starter? Pfft. How about Cole -280 on the road in Detroit. Cole -265 in Texas. Cole -180 in Tampa. Cole -188 at Toronto. Total disrespect for the Rays. 4 straight wins here in New York. And, Rays have won 20 of last 27 in the series. 5* Best Bet TAMPA BAY RAYS 

4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS 

Taking the RAYS. Give me Tampa at any plus money vs the Yanks. NYY reeling in off getting swept by Tigers. Tampa is 19-7 last 26 in the series and have won 5 of the last 6 here in New York. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS

4* Money Maker LA DODGERS

4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX

Taking the DODGERS. Give me Kershaw at this price. Plus, LA seems to be finding itself on a nice little 7 game win streak. This team is dangerous when clicking. Greinke again is defying father time with his 84 mph fast ball. Astros 8-2 in his 10 starts. This is a tough one though. Small fave gets the call for me. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS

Taking the BREWERS. Had SD last night. Maybe I should have stayed away. But not getting in front of teams on big win streaks. Speaking of win streaks, 3 in a row for the Brew Crew. Musgrove not scary enough for me to shy off the Milwaukee bats. Also. We have a pretty good pitcher on the hill of our own tonight in Burnes. Guy is absolutely dealing right now. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

Taking the MARLINS. Phillies have lost 5 of 6 and 8 of 11. Plus Marlins 6-1 last 7 vs Philly with 4 straight wins. Give me Alcantara at this number. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the CUBS. Have to grab them at this price. Pirates playing like we thought they would coming into the season. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS
