The Pride of the Yankees (no he didn’t say that) Aaron Judge hit a pair of home runs and robbed the Mariners of another in the field yesterday will be what Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (3-2, 3.60 ERA) will have to contend with. New York will send out Nestor Cortes (4-2, 5.30) who although has a winning record has not be anywhere as effective as he was last season.

NY Yankees at Seattle 7:10 ET Mariners over Yankees- neither of these two clubs have reached expectations as of yet although they are both starting to play better baseball. Seattle has won six of their last seven and the Yankees have moved to nine games over .500 after a poor start to the season. New York always seems to be in the middle of something and Domingo German (2-3, 3.75 ERA) who has had issues on and off the field is off a 10-day suspension for using too much sticky-stuff and is making his first start since May 16.

LA Angels at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET White Sox over Angels- Baseball is such a long season and many of those who don’t perform well in April have time so set things right and so be it with Chicago’s starter Michael Kopech (3-4, 4.24 ERA) who had a 7.01 ERA in April and is 3-1 with a 1.99 ERA since. The impostor Angels will send righty Griffin Canning (3-2, 4.95) who defeated the White Sox in his only start against them in 2019.

San Diego at New York Yankees 7:10 ET Padres over Yankees- I feel like there is something up with this game as in reality the Padres are favored in New York. We are talking about an underachieving San Diego then that was expected to give the West a run for their money but they have disappointed everyone with their play. The Yankees are 15-5 in their last 20 games but have dropped their last two and being an underdog at home makes no sense. The Padres will start Joe Musgrove (1-2, 6.75 ERA) who is facing the Yankees for the first time. New York will start Randy Vasquez who is making his MLB debut and was 1-5 with a 4.85 ERA in AAA ball.

Burnes has been inconsistent at best and surrendered the most hits in any start this season, last time out giving up eight hits in six innings in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis. The Astros will start Cristian Javier (4-1, 3.25) and he has allowed just 39 hits in 53 innings pitched with 59 strikeouts. Astros are 6-1 in seven inter-league against right-handed starters.

Chicago will start left-hander Justin Steel (6-1, 2.44 ERA) who is streaking on his own. Steele opened the year with 14 straight starts allowing two runs or fewer but has hit a sang in his last two starts. Like I had said about the Phillies, they had a 4-game winning streak, then a six game losing streak, followed by five wins and then five losses before Saturday’s win.

Cleveland at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET White Sox over Erie Lakers- Both of these clubs are just killing their backers as Cleveland at 19-22 was an early favorite to win the Division with the White Sox adding competition. But, Chicago is already minus $1,286 and the Watch dogs minus $947. There is good reason they are where they are and it is because they have one thing in common. It is a No. 29 ranking and for the visitor it is runs scored per game 3.96 and for the White Sox it is their pitching with 5.986 ERA. That is sort of a wash but the Sox are beginning to show signs of life and the Cleveland starter is a putrid 0-4 and can not win here. Take CHICAGO WHITE SOX! |

In baseball when a team is hot they are hot and it does not matter who is pitching Miles Mikolas (1-1, 5.40 ERA) or who is out. Boston knows about streaks as they just had a seven game win streak but have now lost four of five.

San Francisco at Arizona 9:40 ET Giants over Diamondbacks- The Giants who are 4-games under .500 are not expected to become a playoff team as their talent level has slipped more than most realize.

One of the National League’s most effective starters having won 26 games while losing just 14 for a 65% winning average the last four seasons can not get anyone out even Aaron Hicks! He was bombed for 10 earned runs in his last outing against the Angels and has had very little control. Look for a turn around here.

These may be the two worst teams in MLB this season and the A’s have a chance to break the Mets 1962 record of 140 losses. But, they have found one bright spot and that is Mason Miller (0-1, 3.91 ERA) who in his only start in Triple-A pitched five perfect innings with 11 strikeouts before being call to the Show and last time out he pitched seven innings of no-hit ball against Seattle before being removed.

Pittsburgh started the season 20-8 and there was a buzz starting to surround their sudden rise, but alas, they have now dropped five straight and are facing a team coming out of their own five-game losing streak. Toronto was lucky enough to be playing Pittsburgh to end their down turn and now send Jose Berrios (2-3, 5.29 ERA) who was racked by the Red Sox last time out giving up 11 hits in five innings.

The Chicago White Sox had lost 10 straight and have now turned things around (possibly) winning their last three. To me it does not matter who is pitching or what else is happening I will play on the White Sox until their current win streak ends. The fact that Minnesota is 17-38 in their last 55 road games does not hurt our cause either including 1-4 in their last five at Chicago. Take CHICAGO WHITE SOX! |

The Red Birds will start Jack Flatery (2-3, 3.94) who was banged around by the Dodgers in his last start surrendering dive runs, seven hits in 4.2 innings.

Now, after playing decades in the weak AL East New York has some competition in the division and are currently in last place. The Bronx Bombers are shooting with pop guns at the plate as their power hitters have been sidelined with both Arron Judge and Mike Stanton inactive.

Arizona is starting Zac Gallen (4-1, 2.15 ERA) and have won four of their last six while Gallen has gone four starts without allowing a run covering 28 innings and four wins. Texas will send Jon Gray (1-1, 3.91) to the hill and he has struggled with his control this season and is 5-7 with a 5.60 ERA against Arizona.

Since reaching that milestone Kluber has won just 18 games. One of those wins was i his most recent start as he shut down the high scoring Orioles. Jose Berrios (2-3, 4.71) the Toronto starter has had eight straight winning seasons five of which happened while a member of the Twins.

New York is having problems not only does the club have major flaws (not according to GM Cashman) and now are without Aaron Judge and the over-rated and injury plagued Michael Giancarlo (I can’t play today and I won’t hustle if I do.) Stanton. Former Yankee Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.20 ERA) get a shot at his former team while Jhony Brito (2-2, 6.11) take the hill for New York.

San Diego at Arizona 9:40 ET Padres over Diamondbacks- So, the long awaited return of Fernando Tatis Jr. was a disappointment in yesterday’s 7-5 win the Padres over San Diego as he went hitless in five at bats. Tonight, Seth Lugo (2-0, 2.70 ERA) is fighting for this starting roll after years of relief pitching with the Mets. San Diego is 3-0 when Lugo gets the start while Arizona will start ace Zac Gallen (2-1, 3.33) who has not allowed a run in his last 13.2 innings of work. The Padres are 5-0 on the road against teams with winning records and are 19-7 in the last 26 meetings including 4-0 at Arizona. Take SAN DIEG |

Toronto at Houston 7:30 ET Blue Jays over Astros- Let us just hope that Toronto doesn’t turn out to be that one team you just can not seem to be able to get by without incurring some sort of damage. Right now with Jose Altuve on the shelf Houston does not appear to be the same club as two other joined him on the bench and a pair of others are day-to-day. The Blue Jays will start Jose Berrios (1-2, 7.98 ERA) who has yet to reach expectations since joining Toronto and is 4-3 with a 4.81 ERA in seven career starts against the Astros. Houston will start Luis Garcia (0-2, 7.71) and he is 1-1 with a 4.00 ERA in three starts against the Jays. Jays are 6-2 last eight on the road and get the money here. Take TORONTO! |

Tampa Bay at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Reds over Rays- Since opening the MLB season with 13 straight wins Tampa Bay has now dropped 3-of-4 and will send rookie Taj Bradley (1-0, 5.40 ERA) who will be making his second career start. In his first start against Boston he allowed three runs in five innings but had eight strikeouts while walking just one. Cincinnati will start Nick Lodolo (2-0, 2.12) who we have had luck with and we will go at it once again. The Reds defeated the Rays 8-1 yesterday and Tampa is 2-7 in their last nine games following a loss and 0-5 in their last five games in Cincinnati. Reds are 9-2 in the last 11 inter-league games.

Milwaukee at Seattle 9:40 ET Mariners over Brewers- Milwaukee’s Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes (1-1-, 5.19 ERA) had a pair of rough outing to start the season but responded as a Megabucks winner last time out allowing just three hits in eight innings with no walks and eight strikeout Tuesday at Arizona. He has never faced Seattle and they will start Chris Flexen (0-2, 8.74) who has had three straight poor outings surrendering 10 hits in 2.1 innings allowing eight runs against the Cubs last Tuesday. Flexen was more than disappointed as he had a 7-0 lead against Chicago and could get out of the third inning. This time things will be different for both starters. Brewers are 2-5 in the last seven meetings and Mariners are 4-0 in their last four games. Take SEATTLE |

Atlanta at San Diego 9:40 ET Braves over Padres- Ha, most of what I have heard this spring is how San Diego is loaded and can give the Dodgers a run for the money in the NL West. Okay, so they are off to a slow start but so is LA so not to panic. But, I would never expect the Dodgers to be an underdog at home like this. Atlanta will start lefty Max Fried (0-0, 2.70 ERA) who will be making just his second start of the season. The Padres will start Ryan Weathers (2-0, 2.70) who has worked five innings in both of his starts gaining wins over the Mets and Arizona. Take ATLANTA |

Toronto at Houston 8:10 ET Blue Jays over Astros- Does Altuve mean so much to Houston that they not only do not seem able to play .500 ball but now they an underdog at home. The Astros will send Cristian Javier (1-0, 4.24 ERA) to the hill and he has been no where as dominant this season as he has been in the past with strikeout ratio down 40%. Toronto veteran Kevin Gausman (1-1, 1.35) is in his 11th season and he has never been better going 27-16 the past two seasons. Blue Jays are 5-1 on the road and 14-6 following a loss. Take TORONTO! |

After a pair of stellar seasons Alex Manoah (1-0, 4.91) is having trouble finding the plate and has walked 11 in 14.2 innings while his career average was 2.2 entering this season.

Philadelphia at Cincinnati 4:10 ET Redlegs over Phillies- I expect it to be a long season for Philadelphia and I don’t expect there to be a second half run like they made last year after falling 20-games back even after Bryce Harper returns. Today, they will send Matt Strahm (1-0,0.00 ERA) who has thrown a total of 10innings in four appearances and in four shots against the Reds he is 0-1, with a 2.84 ERA. Cincinnati will start Graham Ashcraft (1-0, 2.08) who will be making his first start against the Phils and has allowed just 10 hits in 13 innings. Phillies just 3-7 last 10 against righties and are 2-8 on the road in their last 10 and 9-22 at Cincy. Take CINCINNATI! |

Tampa Bay at Toronto 3:07 ET Blue Jays over Rays- It seems that Toronto has unlocked the secret to beating Tampa Bay and that is get them out of the country. The Blue Jays handed the Rays their first loss of the season after a record tying 13 straight wins to open the season. I believe that Tampa is going to use the All-staff in this contest as their listed starter has not pitched more than two innings in any of his four relieve appearances. Toronto will start Yusei Kikuchi (1-0, 6.75 ERA) who is 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA lifetime against the Rays Take TORONTO! |

Baltimore at Chicago White Sox 7:00 ET Orioles over White Sox- These are not the same Orioles that we have been used to seeing, this young bunch of guys can hit and when their pitching comes up to speed they will become a legitimate treat in they AL East. Saturday they will start Kyle Gibson (3-0, 3.44 ERA) who has received great support from his mates who have scored 22 runs in his three starts. For Chicago Michael Kopech (0-2, 6.75) who has yet to find himself this season gets the nod. Turnabout of fortunes here. Take WHITE SOX! |

Atlanta at Kansas City 8:00 ET Royals over Braves- Kansas City is one of the weakest hitting teams in baseball but it is a long season of 162 games and all clubs will have their ups and downs even a weak hitting team like the Royals. Atlanta will send veteran Charlie Morton (1-1, 4.35 ERA) who is 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA lifetime against the Royals. Father time is starting to take its toll on Morton who is not giving up more hits then innings pitched and his strike outs are down over 30%. KC will send Brady Singer (1-0, 4.91) to the mound as he makes his first appearance against the Braves. Royals 1-6 at home and look to change that starting here tonight as they are 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take KANSAS CITY! |

In seven full inning he had 12 strikeouts, allowing just three hits and no runs in a no decision appearance. Philadelphia like last season is off to a slow start and can only wait for MVP Bryce Harper to get back in the lineup. Bailey Falter (0-1, 2.61) has thrown five innings in both of his starts while surrendering 11 hits and three runs.

New York has run into problems delivering hits when needed most as they are hitting .222 with runners in scoring position. San Diego who has a much firepower at the plate are still waiting for the return of Fernando Tatis who once again is sidelined because he has been a bad boy. The Mets will start Tylor Megill (2-0, 1.64 ERA) who has had a pair of quality starts defeating Miami twice and this time he will face a real offense. The Padres will send Blake Snell (0-1, 7.88) to the hill who has been roughed up twice already by both Atlanta and Colorado. Fortunes change today. Take SAN DIEGO! |

Milwaukee at Arizona 9:40 ET Brewers over Diamondbacks- I can not help myself here as once again i am going to play against my personal House Rules...but we all won last time I did it, so it is with confidence and the same applies here. Well, except for my basis toward Milwaukee starter Corbin Burnes (0-1, 9.64 ERA), after having seen him up-close I know how difficult he is to hit against. The Cy Young Award Winner has already walked five in nine+ innings and he is better than that having once started the season with 59 strikeouts before he walked a better. Arizona starter Merrill Kelly (0-1, 3.86) was roughed up by the Dodgers last time out and happens to be up against a determined Burnes. Brewers are 18-8 in the last 26 meetings and D backs are 3-8 following a win. Take MILWAUKEE |

That broke the locker room mojo and New York still hasn’t recovered and their pitching is a mess. The Brewers will counter with Eric Lauer (1-0, 3.83) who picked up a win against the Cubs last Sunday surrendering six hits in 5+ innings. Second time out he will not be so lucky.

Baltimore will give the ball to Cole Irvin (0-1, 13.50) who was acquired from Oakland and was bombed by Boston lasting just four inning surrendering eight hits and six runs.

After winning their first two Chicago lost four in-a-row before Friday and today they will start lefty Justin Steele (0-0, 0.00 ERA) who had eight strikeouts in six inning allowing just three hits and no runs without a decision against Milwaukee last Saturday.
