Minnesota at Cleveland 7:05 ET Indians over Twins- Minnesota is the 'hottest' team in MLB winning 15 of the last 18 and now have the best winning percentage all of baseball. The difference between this season and last for the Twins has been their power surge they have hit twice as many homers this year compared to last. Cleveland will start Shane Bieber (4-2, 3.67 ERA) who is 2-0 in his last three starts and is 1-0 lifetime against the Indians.

L.A. Angels at Seattle 4:10 ET Angels over Mariners- In my experience it has always been understood the catchers after their playing career make the best managers...but, this is not always true. One of the worst is Angels manager Brad Ausmus who when in inter-league play once made a multiple player switch and ended up with the pitcher leading off at the plate the next at-bat. He also is now one of those 'brilliant' ideas to let his started pitch just one innings and then use seven of eight pitchers for his game plan. The problem with this is not all pitchers will be affective as at least one of them will get pounded. So, talking about the day's starter has no baring on the outcome. We are going t play the 'team' to win here and it is LOS ANGELES! |

Tampa Bay will start Ryan Yarbrough (4-1, 5.53) who won his lone start this season over Cleveland as the Rays are 6-2 in their last eight games overall. Odorizzi in one start against his former team has a 10.38 ERA with no decision. He gets one today but will not be happy with the results. Take TAMPA BAY! |

Chicago hasn't been much better of late losing 4-of-5 and six of their last eight are starting Carlos Quintana (4-4, 3.73 ERA) who has been a bit of a disappointment since coming over from the White Sox who is 5-3 with a 3.75 ERA in nine starts against the Cards. St. Louis will start Jack Flaherty (4-3, 3.77) who started slowing this season but is rounding into form. The Cubs are 3-7 in Quintana's last 10 road starts...take ST. LOUIS! |

Nationals over Reds- Washington is finally beginning to play some baseball as they have won five of their last six and have banged out 47 runs in their last six games. The will start their best today as Patrick Corbin (5-2, 2.85 ERA) takes the hill and his mound opponent for the Reds will be Tyler Maule (1-5, 4.15) who allowed six runs and three homers in his last outing. Without Joey Votto in the line-up the Reds lose a valuable cog. With the Nats the favorite here ( because of Corbin starting) I believe that they are the side. Take WASHINGTON! |

San Francisco at Baltimore 7:05 ET Giants over Orioles- Today, we are dealing with two of the worst teams in baseball one in each league as last place Baltimore will host last play San Francisco. Now, this one seems a bit odd as the home Orioles are underdogs with their best pitcher Andrew Cashner (5-2, 4.55 ERA) on the mound against the Giants worst Drew Pomeranz (1-5, 6.45). The Giants hurler has lasted just 13 innings in his last four starts allowing 17 runs on 22 hits along with nine walks and yet he is favored here. Baltimore has seven home wins the least in the major and that number won't change today. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Arizona at Colorado 8:40 ET Rockies over Diamondbacks- The trends and number surrounding this game will scare you if you are thinking of 'playing' on the Rockies.

Jeff Hoffman (0-1, 8.10) is the part of this 'action' that is scary as he is 0-2 with a10.38 ERA against the D'backs. The Rockies after a slow start are beginning to put it together having won their last three and 6-of-8. Add the Arizona is 3-7 in their last 10 and 2-8 in the last 10 meetings. Take COLORADO! |

Arizona at Colorado 8:40 ET Rockies over Diamondbacks- I have said numerous times that the most important part of winning while betting baseball is being able to take advantage of steaks both good and bad. Often it is streaks that overcoming poor pitching matchups and I believe we have one here. Colorado has picked up their pace of late winning five of their last seven including their last two. The Rockies opened the season with five straight home losses and that is unusual as they have one of the strongest home park advantages but, after yesterday's win they are now 12-12 at home. Add that the D'backs are 2-7 in their last nine trips to the Mile High City. Take COLORADO! |

Houston is playing their last ball of the year winning 15 of their last 19 and are now a MLB best 21-7 at home. Chicago has lost four of their last five and will start veteran Jon Lester (3-3, 2.68 ERA) who started the season fast by allowing just five runs in his first seven starts but has been racked for 17 hits (three homers) and 12 runs his last two starts against Washington and Philadelphia. The Astros are 13-5 against left-handers and are 56-25 in inter-league play. Take HOUSTON! |

Washington at Atlanta 7:20 ET Nationals over Braves- It has been said (in the past) that pitching is 90% of baseball and that should make Washington on of the better teams in the NL as they have two of the best. Tonight, one of those hurlers Stephen Strasburg (4-3, 3.25 ERA) who has allowed just 53 hits in 72 innings gets the start for the struggling Nationals. The problem for the Nats in that they just don't score runs but they are 41-15 in Strasburg's last 56 road starts. Atlanta will start lefty Max Fried (7-2, 2.88) who has won his last three starts and is 7-4 against Atlanta the past four seasons. Take WASHINGTON! |

Now, the Rangers continue on the road where they are 8-17 and visit the Emerald City to take on the stumbling Mariners. Seattle lost all six games on their road trip (their worst in nine years) and is looking toward Tommy Milone (0-1, 3.60 ERA) to stop the bleeding and he is 3-5 with a 4.45 ERA against the Rangers who will start Lance Lynn (6-3, 4.67) who is 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts against the Mariners.

Although, Minnesota is 41-16 in their last 57 overall they are just 5-12 in their last 17 inter-league games and oddly enough Milwaukee is 19-7 on Mondays. Starting week off right with the BREWERS! |

Arizona at Colorado 3:10 ET Rockies over Diamondbacks- It is getting more and more difficult to 'fade' Zack Greinke (6-2, 2.89) as he seems to get better with each outing. If not for a boneheaded manager yanking Zack Arizona has lost four of his 11 starts twice blowing leads after he's been removed. But, while on the mound he has allowed just 53 hits in 72 innings work with a 0.87 WHIP on the season and even better I his last three starts 0.65 WHIPO and 1.66 ERA. So why is he not favored here? The D'backs just swept three at San Francisco while the Rockies got a 'gift' win handed to them by the Orioles. The Rockies are 6-2 in the last eight meetings and 20-9 in their last 29 home starts against right handers. Somehow...take COLORADO! |

Cardinals starter Jack Flaherty (4-3, 4.19) is also a 'Tale of two Months' as he was 3-1 in April and 1-2 in May with a 4.37 ERA but has held opponents to a .188 batting average his last five outings.

Tampa Bay at Cleveland 4:10 ET Indians over Rays- This just doesn't seem right! Tampa Bay was favored the first two game of this series on the road and after last night's 3-1 loss to the Indians they are now the underdog. What doesn't seem right at this time is that the Rays starter Charlie Morton (4-0, 2.65 ERA) is undefeated and throwing his best ball of his career. Morton is 7-0 with a 3.21 ERA in his last 17 starts but is just 2-2 with a 3.70 ERA in four career starts against Cleveland. The Tribe will start Carlos Carrasco (4-4, 4.30) who is 4-5 with a 3.28 ERA against the rays and picks up the win here. Take CLEVELAND! |

Boston at Houston 8:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- A match-up of those that I consider the two best clubs in the AL and there should be a buzz in the air as Chris Sale (1-5, 4.31 ERA) takes the hill for Boston. Sale is off of a 10 strikeout performance in five innings which comes on the heels of his 17 strike out outing is seven innings. Houston will start Wade Miley (4-2, 3.51) who is 2-2 with a 6.35 ERA in five starts against the Red Sox while Sale is 5-2 with a 2.12 ERA with a 0.84 WHIP in eight starts. Sox have won their last two while the Astros have dropped their last two and I like the pitching match-up. Take BOSTON! |

Tampa Bay at Cleveland 6:10 ET Rays over Indians- A couple of things surrounding this AL battle as I believe it is 'out with the old and in with the new' as the Rays are becoming a strong threat while the Indians are falling off from pervious levels. Okay, let's see what we have here and it raises an eyebrow. How is it that Tampa Bay is favored on the road and they hadn't even named a starting pitcher and now have listed Ryan Yarbrough (2-1, 8.10 ERA). That maybe not so bad for the Rays as they are 15-7 on the road. Cleveland's Adam Pluto (1-0, 1.50) makes his second career start for the Tribe and is up against to tough club that is 19-7 in their last 26 games on grass. Take TAMPA BAY! |
