Kansas City at Toronto 1:05 ET Blue Jays over Royals- The two most active clubs before the trade deadline passed were the Royals and Blue Jays who have picked up pitching and hitting in their multiple transactions. This 'price' looks a little heavy to me on Toronto's side when you consider Kansas City is starting Edinson Volquez (10-5, 3.21 ERA) against the Blue Jays R.A. Dickey (5-10, 4.27). When I see Volquez is 0-3 with a 7.30 ERA in five starts against Toronto I understand the odds makers reasoning. Dickey's record isn't attractive but he has surrendered three runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 outings. Look for the Jays to bounce back from Saturday loss. Take TORONTO! |

It appears that hard throwing Yordano Ventura (5-7, 4.86 ERA) has regained his form as he turned in his best effort in two months against Houston his last time out. He will be up against veteran Mark Buehrle (11-5, 3.29) who has dominated the Royals in his career going 26-12 with a 3.53 ERA in 53 starts. Despite these impressive numbers the Royals are set to bounce-back here. Take KANSAS CITY! |

Edinson Volquez (9-5, 3.15 ERA) has been a great addition to the Royals staff but is 1-2 against the Indians with one very weak performance this season when he walked six in three innings. Cody Anderson (2-1, 1.91) had his first poor outing of the season in his five major league starts but had surrendered just three runs in 30.1 innings in his four previous turns.

But, I did find one thing, Boston is 5-1 in their last six games against a team with a losing record and Detroit has that. I can give you a number of trends that say the Tigers should win easily but I just don't see it. After losing eight in-a-row the Red Sox came up favorites last night and won and they come up favorite again and I expect them to win again. Take BOSTON! |

The Brewers who were the first team to lose their manager are fighting back to respectability as they have won 15 of 21 and will start their prized rookie Taylor Jungmann (4-1, 2.15 ERA) who hasn't lost since his second career start on June 14.

Chicago Cubs at Washington 7:05 ET Nationals over Cubs- These two NL contenders are struggling as they enter this series as they have both lost six of their last 10 and Chicago is winless in their last four series and Washington has dropped five of their last six. The Cubs Jake Arrieta (4-4, 3.18 ERA) has struggled of late posting a 3.99 ERA in May and is winless in his last three starts. Gio Gonzalez (4-2, 4.73) was hit hard last time (literally as he was HBP twice) but has won his last three decisions. Gonzalez is 22-11 with a 2.91 ERA at Nationals Park and is 3-1 with a 2.39 ERA against the Cubs while Arrieta is 0-1 with a 5.81 ERA against the Nationals. Take WASHINGTON! |

Cleveland at Kansas City 8:10 ET Indians over Royals- The Cleveland Indians look to get to .500 for the first time this season as they look to move to 5-1 on their current road trip and seven of eight on the road overall. Cory Kluber (3-5, 3.53 ERA) started 0-5 for the Tribe but the Cy Young award winner bounced back allowing just five runs in his last four starts while striking out 50 in his last 32 innings of work. Royals starter Jason Vargas (3-2, 5.16) is back off the DL and has yet to return to form as his ERA remains above 5. Kansas City has won two-of-three from the Indians twice already this season and now it's Tribe's turn. Take CLEVELAND! |

Cleveland at Kansas City 8:10 ET Indians over Royals- The Indians who started slow are now playing hot and have won six of their last seven road games and are now favored at Kansas City which is a bit of a surprise. I saw the Royals open the favorite and this move came from 'within' and has nothing to do with money wagered. Cleveland is on a 10-3 surge but it still seems strange that they are the favorite at Kansas City where they are 17-7 at home. Carlos Carrasco (6-4, 4.24 ERA) is among the AL leaders in strike out and is averaging 10.4 K's per nine innings as he has 37 punch-outs in his last five starts (three wins) covering 35.6 innings. The Royals Jeremy Guthrie (4-3, 6.70) is off his worst career showing surrendering 11 runs in 1.2 innings against the Yankees and owns a lifetime 6.14 ERA against the Indians. Take CLEVELAND! |

Kansas City at Chicago Cubs 4:05 ET Cubs over Royals- Baseball is such a game of streaks and right now Kansas City is in the mist of a four-game losing streak after having won seven of their previous eight games. The Royals will start Edinson Volquez (4-3, 2.77 ERA) against a team that he has defeated seven times without a loss. Chicago meanwhile has dropped three of four but this is not the sane Cubs team that Volquez dominated in the past with a 2.90 lifetime ERA as the addition of Kris Bryant and monster changes have made them much more formidable. Jake Arrieta (4-4, 2.95) who has 37 strikeout in his last 31innings is off his worst outing of the season but is 2-0 with a 3.12 ERA against the Royals. Take the CUBS! |

Cleveland at Seattle 10:10 ET Indians over Mariners- Two hot clubs clash in Seattle as the Mariners have won five of six and the Indians three straight and seven of their last nine. Corey Kluber (2-5, 3.49 ERA) who started the season 0-5 and had no wins after seven starts has been sensational his three outings striking out 37 while allowing just two runs in 25 innings. Seattle will also start a 'hot' pitcher in James Paxton (3-2, 3.52) who has won his last three starts and has five straight quality starts with a 1.59 ERA in that stretch and has not been scored upon in his last two home starts (14 innings). Still, Cleveland has bonded for personal reasons and are playing 'hot.' Take the INDIANS! |

Washington at Chicago Cubs 8:05 ET Nationals over Cubs- I'm not so happy about missing out on the Cubs yesterday as they were my last cut in my decision making and today they come up an underdog at home with their ace in Jon Lester (4-2, 3.56 ERA) on the hill. They two Las Vegas boys who played against each other in high school the Nationals Bryce Harper and Cubs Kris Bryant both went deep yesterday and will be tested today against the opposition's best starters. Max Scherzter (5-3, 1.67) who has recorded quality starts in eight of nine outings has no career decisions against the Cubs as he was in the AL most of his tenure in the bigs while Lester is 2-0 with a 3.32 ERA against Washington. Pitching will be the difference and that is why the Nats are favored on the road. Take WASHINGTON! |

Kansas City at New York Yankees 1:05 ET Yankees over Royals- After dropping nine straight and 10 of 11 the Yankees have returned home and taken down the Kansas City Royals the first two games of this three-game series. The first place Yankees (really I'm not joking) have now won only three of their last 13 games with all wins coming at the expense of the Royals who has now dropped three straight while scoring only three runs and allowing 25. Chris Young (4-0, 0.78 ERA) has allowed only one run in his four starts and is 3-1 lifetime against the Yankees who will start Michael Pineda (5-2, 3.59) who has struggled in his last two starts after striking out a franchise high 16 on May 10th. Pineda looks for revenge as he started and was pounded in that start against Young in Kansas City when he surrendered five runs and 10 hits in five innings against Young that day. This time take NEW YORK! |

Kansas City at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Royals- They're back! Speed on the bases and power at the plate, break up the Yankees! All it took was a 1960's performance by the Bronx Bombers to have NYC buzzing about the future of baseball at Yankee Stadium. Wait, let me think New York has now won two of their last 12 games as but blasted five home runs Monday as every starter had at least one hit. Tonight Kansas City will start Jason Vargas (3-1, 5.26 ERA) who is off the disabled list to replace Danny Duffy who went on to the disabled list and that is not good news for the Royals. Vargas is 0-4 with a 6.75 ERA in eight career appearances against the Yankees while New York will start Adam Warren (2-3, 4.26) who has been a victim of weak support. Warren has allowed the Royals one run in 6 2/3 innings. Take the YANKEES! |

Kansas City at New York Yankees 1:05 ET Yankees over Royals- The Yankees are in the mist of their worst streak since 1995 having lost 10 of their last 11 as not only have their bats failed but their pitching has completely fallen apart. This afternoon they start fireballing Nathan Eovaldi (3-1, 4.73 ERA) who has thrown well despite control issues who is off his shortest outing of the season. Kansas City will start Jeremy Guthrie (4-2, 4.75) who is off his best start of the year but has had problems against New York going 5-10 with a 4.92 ERA in 19 lifetime appearances. Look for the Yankees to get back in the win column here. Take NEW YORK! |

Milwaukee at Atlanta 1:35 ET Brewers over Braves- This one looks a little out of place as the 16-27 Brewers are favored on the road against the 20-21 Atlanta Braves. Milwaukee is just 8-12 on the road and are off a Saturday loss against the Braves and they are just 11-16 in their last 37 road games. When you note that the Brewers are just 3-10 in Jimmy Nelson's last 13 starts it really makes me scratch my head. This one comes up Milwaukee as I see it. Take the BREWERS! |

New York Mets at Pittsburgh 4:05 ET Pirates over Mets- Matt Harvey (5-1, 1.98 ERA) has been over-powering his last three starts after opening the season with five straight wins but has the unfortunate problem of pitching for a team that has difficulty scoring runs. Harvey has not allowed a run in three of his last four starts and enters this contest with 16 straight scoreless innings but has no wins to show for his efforts. A.J. Burnett (3-1, 1.38) who lost 18 games last year has allowed two runs or less in all eight of his starts. New York has lost its last five road games while Pittsburgh has won 10 of the past 14 meetings. Take the PIRATES! |

New York Mets at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET Pirates over Mets- With the fanfare and attention that Mets starter Noah Syndergaard (1-1, 3.18 ERA) is getting from the media I took note that the price of this game is as high as it is. (I expect the number to drop) New York has struggled on the road winning just seven of 19 and that could be part of it as well as their weak hitting line-up. Pittsburgh has lost their last two games to drop to a season low four game under .500 as they have lost seven of their last eight. Gerrit Cole (5-2, 2.40) has been the Pirates ace with six quality starts in seven appearances. Although 0-2 against the Mets Cole gets the win here. Take PITTSBURGH! |

The Angels did lose one thing yesterday as Albert Pujols was hit by a pitch and will be missing tonight. R.A.

L.A. Dodgers at San Francisco 10:15 ET Dodgers over Giants- My eyebrows were lifted when I saw the Dodgers come up the favorite against Tom Lincecum (3-2, 2.43 ERA) who is pitching well in San Francisco. When I saw Los Angeles was starting Brett Anderson (2-1, 3.50) who is not a household name I became even more intrigued. Consider that the Giants are 4-0 against the Dodgers in their last four at home it seems even more skeptical to me that they are an underdog. Think about it Anderson is 0-3 with a 6.10 ERA in five starts against San Francisco. I smell a rat...Take the DODGERS! |

Oakland at Houston 8:10 ET A's over Astros- Back on Monday April 13 I saw these two clubs go at it in Houston as Oakland crushed the Astros and my thought were that the A's were the far superior team and that the young Astros had a lone way to go. Well, here we are five weeks later with Houston posting the best record in the AL at 25-14 and the A's bringing up the bottom in the AL at 14-26. Oakland halted a four-game losings streak last night and will have one of baseball's best on the mound in Sonny Gray (4-1, 1.61 ERA) who is 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA in three career starts against Houston.

The Red Sox just handed Felix Hernandez his first loss of the season and now they are a heavy underdog against 'legend' James Paxton (1-2,4.31 ERA) who is 6-2 with an ERA of 2.61 at Safeco Field.

The Marlins Giancarlo Stanton is on a tear hitting titanic home runs night after night and Dee Gordon continues to hit well over .400.

Well, yesterday the 'hottest' player in baseball Bryce Harper was ejected form the game for arguing a called check swing (he was right) and his replacement hits a grand slam to win the game for their fifth straight series win. Washington starter Doug Fister (2-1, 2.87 ERA) returns home of sorts as he started at Fresno State and is 0-1 lifetime against San Diego.

Nelson Cruz hit his Major league leading 15th homer and has hit homers in five straight inter-league games. James Shields (4-0, 4.25 ERA) has been pitching in luck as he has given up 10 runs in his last two starts and posted victories. Good luck or bad Mariners starter Taijuan Walker (1-3, 8.13) has just been terrible in inter-league play as he is 0-2 with a 7.00 ERA with 10 walks in nine innings. Walker has been better at home allowing only four runs in over 10 innings and with San Diego at0-4 in inter-league play I'll take the home team. Take SEATTLE! |

Philadelphia will start Aaron Harang (3-2, 2.35) has yielded one run or less in four of his last five starts which includes a loss to New York on April 13th, this time he gets the ring as the Mets offense is just pitiful.

St. Louis at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET Pirates over Cardinals- The moment I saw the Pirates open the favorite I had to do a double check because here are the red hot Cardinals (21-7) with Michael Wacha (4-0, 1.93 ERA) on the mound against the 12-15 Pirates I became suspicious of what I was seeing. Although Pittsburgh Francisco Liriano is just 1-1 he has pitched to a 1.95 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 32 innings. The trends all say St. Louis as Pittsburgh has lost four straight Liriano home starts and they re 0-5 in their last five against right handed pitchers. Add that the Cardinals are 7-0 in Wacha's last seven starts on grass and yet Vegas makes them the underdog. I'll take PITTSBURGH! |
