04-26-22 | Astros v. Rangers -101 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -101 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Houston at Texas 8:05 ET Rangers over Astros- Both of these Texas clubs have gone through some off-season changes as they made major player personnel moves revolving around their shortstops. The Rangers signed Corey Seager to play the keystone position in Arlington while Houston has suffered the unfortunate loss of Carlos Correa in Free Agency to Minnesota. The changes have hurt the Astros who are 7-8 while Texas hasn't been able to take advantage of their new infield combination (Semien) and are just 5-10 on the season. The Astros have dropped five of their last six and will start Jake Odorizzi (0-2, 9.00 ERA) who has more walks (seven) than strikeouts (five) and his mound opponent will be Taylor Hearn (0-1, 7.59) who is 2-0 with a 1.53 ERA in seven career appearances against Houston. Take TEXAS! |

Boston at Toronto 7:00 ET Red Sox over Blue Jays- These two met at Fenway Park for a 3-game set last week with the Blue Jays capturing 2-of-3 and they finished 4-2 on their six game road trip. Boston will start right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (1-0. 3.68 ERA) in the opener against right-hander Jose Berrios (1-0, 6.35). Eovaldi allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday against Toronto and did not factor in the decision. He gave up seven hits and one walk while striking out six in the game won 2-1 by Boston. In 10 career games (nine starts), Eovaldi is 1-2 with a 4.33 ERA against Toronto. Eovaldi has not allowed more than two walks in 22 straight regular-season starts to match his career best. Berrios earned the win on Wednesday at Boston when he allowed one run, eight hits and one walk while striking out six in six innings. Toronto won 6-1.

Texas at Oakland 4:10 ET Rangers over A's- The Rangers have a 'new' look with the keystone infielders shortstop Corey Seager and 2nd baseman as Marcus Semien have come to Texas via free agency and after a poor start have won their last three. Garrett Richards will start for the Lone Star boys as the Rangers are looking toward a 'bullpen' game while the A's will start Cole Irvin (1-1, 4.32 ERA) who was 2-2 with a 4.03 ERA against Texas last season.

St. Louis at Cincinnati 4:10 ET Reds over Cardinals- Every year there is a team that just can't win and the public plays 'against' them all season and can show a tidy profit, but me, nah, that's too easy and usually you have to lay heavy wood. Cincinnati appears to be that team and sometimes not all that often they become a 'play' despite the past performances. The Reds have two wins in 13 games and one of those victories went to Tyler Mahle (1-1, 7.82 ERA)and he has had two straight poor outings and after going 13-6 with a 3.75 ERA in 2021 I expect a return to form. Take CINCINNATI! |

Chicago White Sox at Minnesota 8:10 ET Twins over White Sox- Chicago is supposed walk over the AL Central this season but are in the middle of a 4-game losing streak while Minnesota who was a complete disaster last year just finished a seven game road trip and have a more positive attitude this season. The Twins will start Bailey Ober (1-1, 3.27 ERA) and he is off his first win of the year allowing just unearned two runs. The White Sox hold a 14-6 edge in the last 20 meetings but that trend changes today. Take MINNESOTA! |

Minnesota at Kansas City 2:10 ET Twins over Royals- It seems a bit weird to me that the former Cy Young and World Series winner who has 219 career wins over 16 years is an underdog at home. Kansas City's Zack Greinke (0-0, 2.45 ERA) has been more than serviceable going 11 innings in two starts while allowing just three runs and a pair of walks. Twins starter Joe Ryan (1-1, 2.70) who has surrendered just seven hits in 10 innings and just three runs with 11 strikeouts. The Twin City guys are 4-1 on the road and their new look seems to be working. Take MINNESOTA! |

Tampa Bay at Chicago Cubs 7:40 ET Rays over Cubs- Tampa Bay needs a win here to finish their road trip 3-3 and have spent the past six days playing in Chicago and have not had a day off since their opener April 8th. The Rays will start Drew Rasmussen (0-1, 5.00 ERA) and he will be up against the Cubs Marcus Stroman (0-1, 6.00) who has struggled against the Rays going 5-7 with a 4.57 in 15 appearances against Tampa. The Rays are 7-1 in their last eight inter-league games and are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings and the Cubs are 0-5 in their last five games against right-handed starters. Take TAMPA BAY! |

San Francisco at Cleveland 1:40 ET Giants over Watch Dogs- I don't see Aaron Civale (12-5, 3.84 ERA in '21) being an underdog here so the oddsmaker must be aware of some things that I am not and I will defer to him and Alex Wood (10-4, 3.83 in '20). Although these two don't meet very often and I am not going as far back as the 1954 Willie Mays catch World Series but the Giants are 9-1 the last 10 meetings. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Philadelphia at Miami 6:40 ET Marlins over Phillies- There is something about this Phillies team that makes me think that they have just enough talent to lose. 'We' played against them last night and will do it against tonight. Pablo Lopez Miami's best the past three seasons with and ERA of 3.07 last season allowing 30 less hits than innings pitched.

Toronto at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Blue Jays- Toronto is considered the favorite by many to win the AL East and believe that they have shored up their weakest liner and that is their starting pitching. The Blue Jays will start 31-yer old and three year veteran Japanese born Yusel Kikuchi who was 15-24 with Seattle. The Yankees will start Nestor, Cortes Jr. who had a number of impressive starts last season striking out 107 and allowing just 75 hits in 93 innings.

Cleveland at Kansas City 4:10 ET Royals over Watchdogs- Knowing who these two teams are and aware of what today's starters have done in the past I would think the logic side would be Cleveland. But, Kansas City has come up the favorite and that was a small surprise and it indicates to me that the Royals are in position to win. Giving stats this early in the season doesn't pass any sample size. Take KANSAS CITY! |

New York Mets at Washington 4:05 ET Mets over Nationals- Here is the state of MLB on Opening Day in 2022. The Mets have what is to be considered the best No. 1 and No. 2 starters in all of baseball with Jacob Degrom and Mac Scherzer. So, who will be New York's Opening Day starter but none other than the renown Taylor Megill (4-6, 4.52 ERA). Under the new ownership of Steve Cohen the Mets have added depth and have a number of veterans including Robinson Cano among others to sure up their balance roster. Washington will send left-hander Patrick Corbin who has had back-to-back losing seasons with a combined 11-23 with an ERA 5.48. The Nationals are not expected to contend this season and the line shows little respect for the home team. Take NEW YORK METS! |

They continued that trend in the playoffs crushing the White Sox and Red Sox scoring 67 runs in 10 games and answered the Braves Game 1 victory with an easy 7-2 win in Game 2. Atlanta will start former Ian Andersson who has had three postseason wins (1-0, 2.25 ERA this time around) and Houston will start Luis Garcia who shut down the Red Sox last Friday. Take HOUSTON! |

Houston at Boston 8:08 ET Red Sox over Astros- I've seen the Red Sox do it before...in 2004. When this team was down 3-1 in games to the Yankees and then their 'mojo' took over and they just kept winning right on to and through the World Series. After Boston's 12-3 mashing of the Astros Monday the 'Fly-boys' are trying to figure out a way to stifle the Sawx booming bats and will send Zack Greinke to the mound at Fenway Park tonight. But, that won't help as he has not had much postseason success going 4-6 with a 4.18 ERA in 20 games and he is 2-5 with an ERA of 5.09 lifetime against Boston and is 0-2 with a 10.22 ERA at Fenway Park. The Red Sox will start Nick Pivetta who is 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA in the 2021 playoffs will be good enough to win here with his mates support. Take BOSTON! |

Houston at Boston 8:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- It doesn't matter to me who the starting pitchers are going to be as in today's state of the game in Major League baseball it is unlikely any of them will finish. That being said Houston will start Jose Urquidy (8-3, 3.62 ERA) who is making his first post start this year and his last three regular season outings he has surrendered nine runs in 16 1/3 innings allowing five home runs. That's not a good sign if you are taking the mound at Fenway Park against the Red Sox. The Astros are 1-5 in their last six road games (it's a lot different what you're not sure what pitch in coming) and the Red Sox are 7-0 in their last seven starts against right-handers and 6-0 in their last six home playoff games. Take BOSTON! |

Boston at Houston 8:07 ET Red Sox over Astros- Chris Sale who has been nothing short of terrible surrendering 10 earned runs in his last three starts covering 8.2 innings with an ERA of 10.98 so I fully expect him to shut down the Astros here. Now, I realize that both clubs will have major home field advantages as they BOTH will be aware of what pitches are coming when they are at the plate but, Sale can be difficult even if you know what is on its way. Sawx manager Alex Cora has been in the middle of sign stealing on both sides so may be able to counter Houston's shenanigans. Houston is slated to start Framber Valdez (0-0, 8.31 ERA) and he hasn't been any better than Sale. Take BOSTON! |

The Dodgers have listed 21-game winner Julio Urias (2.93 ERA) as their starter against the Giants Logan Webb (12-3, 2.83) who shut down L.A. in 7.2 innings in the series opener. San Francisco earned the home field here by beating out the Da' Bums (formerly Brooklyn) by winning 54 of 83 home games. Webb just passes the eye test to me striking out 10 in the series opener.

Houston at Chicago W.S. 3:37 ET White Sox over Astros- Home cooking has been the winning formula in this series as Chicago won 12-6 Sunday after the Astros had won the first two games at home. Houston will send Lance McCullers to the mound and his counterpart for the White Sox will be Carlos Rodon (13-8, 2.37) who saw less and less action after the All-star break because of arm fatigue and has pitched just eight innings since September 20. But, he is 2-0 with a 1.55 ERA in seven career starts against Houston and will go far enough in this one to get the win. Take WHITE SOX! |

Boston will wear those 'chicken yellow' uniforms to honor those running the Boston Marathon and will start Eduardo Rodriguez who was knocked out of the series opener while allowing two runs in just 1.2 innings.

The Astros will send Luis Garcia (11-8, 3.30) to the hill and he haD a no decision in his lone start against Chicago throwing seven innings and allowing just one hit.

St. Louis at New York Mets 7:10 ET Mets over Cardinals- So Adam Wainwright (15-7, 2.98 ERA) who is having another great season is an underdog to the Mets and Rich Hill (0-2 3.71) who has yet to win a game for New York. When I see that St. Louis is 6-0 on the road against left-handed starters I wonder how can they be underdogs. The Cardinals have won 7-of-the-last-10 meetings and the Mets are 7-19 against teams with winning records including 1-8 in their last nine at home against winners. This game stinks...Take M-U-T-S! |

N.Y. Mets at Miami 6:40 ET Marline over Mets- It when it appeared the Mets were ready to self destruct they found life by winning 8-of-10. Mets players were being booed in NY so the players reacted against the fans and now it is an 'us' against them and they are winning. One person who is not winning for the Mets in Rich Hill (6-6, 3.92 ERA) who has yet to post a nine in six appearances with New York going 0-4. Miami will start Sandy Alcantara (8-13, 3.36) who has thrown well this season but was hit hard last time out against the Mets. The Marlins are 5-2 at home versus Mets and they get the money today.

Tampa Bay at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Rays- The Red Sox need to stop the bleeding as they blew a 6-run lead to Tampa Bay yesterday and are just 24-25 since the All-Star break when they were 55-36. Part of Boston's troubles is their defense which leads the AL in errors including four Monday that allowed six unearned runs. The Rays will send Drew Rasmussen (1-0, 3.00 ERA) and he has a 2.53 ERA in five appearances against the Red Sox with no decisions. The Sawx will start Eduardo Rodriguez (11-7, 4.88) and he defeated the Rays 4-0 in Tampa Bay last week throwing six scoreless innings. Take BOSTON! |

Minnesota at Cleveland 6:10 ET Twins over Indians- Okay, let me digest this...The Twins who manny expected the win the Central have been terrible all year, they have now lost 4-of-5 and are19-games under .500. Cleveland who is right where most people expected them to be are 35-30 at home and the oddsmaker has made Minnesota the favorite here which makes no sense at all. The best that I can figure is that respect is being paid to 6'9” Bailey Ober (2-2, 3.98 ERA) who has averaged better and a strikeout per inning in this his rookie year. He has a 1.75 ERA in his last four starts covering 20 innings and they are 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |

L.A. Dodgers at San Francisco 9:45 ET Giants over Dodgers- What I've was told when I was a child was that the MLB season is a long one and the 'cream will rise to the top.' Well, that's what has happened in the NL West as the Giants dominated past for five months and now the 'cream' the Dodgers are making their move and have caught their bitter rivals. LA will send David Price (4-2, 3.88 ERA) and while he is 0-3 lifetime against the Giants he owns a 2.88 ERA. The Jints will send Anthony DiSclafani is 1-8 lifetime against the Dodgers with a 6.47 ERA. Still, this is a spot for SAN FRANCISCO! |

He has recorded wins over the Baltimore Orioles, Texas Rangers and Minnesota Twins in his three starts and now he faces a real baseball team. Tampa Bay has won nine straight and were 21-6 in August and will probably use their famous 'All-Staff' as a starter. Boston is 0-8 in their last eight game at Tropicana Field and 9-24 in the last 33 meetings overall. Take the RAYS! |

Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Red Sox- Boston will certainly have the best of it on the mound as Nick Pivetta (9-5, 4.20 ERA) takes the hill against New York's newly acquired Andrew Heaney (7-8, 5.78). Heaney who was the Angels Opening Day starter has been atrocious since coming over to the Yankees and has a 9.00 ERA in three starts. In less than a month the Red Sox have lost a 9.5-game lead over New York and have lost 10 of their last 13 games. They won the first eight meetings of the season against the Bronx Bombers but are just 17-38 at Yankee Stadium.

Philadelphia has won six straight and after trailing New York for the entire season have caught up to the MUTS and have moved into the top spot in the NL East as the Metropolitan's have dropped 5-of-6 seven of their last nine games. Home field has been important to both clubs as the Phillies are 32-21 at home while New York are 23-33 on the road and have lost 15 of their last 22 meetings in Philadelphia. The mets are 3-9 in their last 12 starts against a left-handed starter while the 'Whiz Kids' are 8-2 against right-handed starters. Tylor Megill (1-1, 2.68 ERA) gets the nod for the Mets and he has shown well but it's a team game and New York is in a funk.

Chicago White Sox at Milwaukee 7:05 ET Brewers over White Sox- 'We' are looking for a Brewers sweep of the White Sox here as their pitching staff is setting strikeout records. Chicago has lost their offensive 'mojo' as they have scored just four runs in their last three games and it won't get any better tonight. Milwaukee will start Brandon Woodruff (7-4, 2.04 ERA) and his 'numbers' are impressive as he has a 6.8/1 strikeout to walk ratio and opponents are hitting .168 against him. Chicago's Lance Lynn (9-3, 2.03) is having a huge comeback season allowing more than two runs only three times in 17 starts this season. The White Sox don't play well as road dogs where they are 14-37 in their last 51 in that role. Brewers 16-7 as favorites and 8-3 against right handed starters. Take MILWAUKEE! |

In his last two starts he has been roughed for nine runs in just 8.1 innings getting racked by the Mets and Red Sox and he faces the best hitting team in MLB. Houston will start the nervous Zack Greinke (8-2, 3.64) who realizes this is a 'big' series, it's the first visit to Houston for the Yankees since the Astros signal stealing cheating scandal.

The Yankees heavy laden lineup will start nine right-handed batters (as they always do as that's all they have) and they will face Seattle's lone All-Star Yusei Kikuchi (6-3, 3.18 ERA) who has a 2-year career record of 8-15 with a 5.39 ERA and is 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA against New York.

Colorado at Arizona 9:10 ET Diamondbacks over Rockies- The 23-63 Diamondbacks are favored and even at home that shouldn't be as they are 13-27 when playing as hosts. Maybe it's starter Merrill Kelly (5-7, 4.67 ERA) 89 K's and only 25 walks in 98.1 innings because their lineup is nothing to fear, as this team is challenging the 1960 inaugural New York Mets season played at the Polo Grounds and they were 40-120 .250 with a pair of games that weren't made up. But, this Colorado team is one of the worst even on the road and are 6-31 including a 23-game away losing streak.

Streaking Phillies have won their last two while San Diego has dropped three straight. A guy I like for who knows what reasons will start for the home team as Vince Velasquez (3-2, 4.22) takes the hill. My main man Vince is off his best performance of the season (by far) going seven innings allowing no runs on just two with 7-K's and NO walks...yep that why I like him but, inconsistency has been his trademark and I don't expect him do as well Sunday.

The 37 year-old lefty is 46-48 lifetime and has already been with two teams this season starting the year with the Orioles. Colorado's Kyle Freeland (1-2, 6.54) (34-34 lifetime) has not developed they way the Rockies had hoped, although both these guys give up more hits than innings pitched, I think at this time LeBlanc might be better at getting more hitters to miss. Red Birds are 23-11 as favorites and 47-20 last 60 meetings while Colorado is 19-7 at home and 8-2 at home against a left-hander. This will be a team victory for the Cardinals. Take ST. LOUIS! |

The Nationals will send Max Scherzer (7-4, 2.14 ERA) to the mound and he has given up more than two runs just twice this season in 15 starts but has had poor support especially at home where he has loss his last three starts.

With a career record of 46-71, an ERA of 5.24 and a WHIP of 1.45 he is very hittable and that is what the Royals need right now as they are struggling having lost 15 of their last 19 games.
