06-09-18 | Cardinals -101 v. Reds | Top | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 10 m | Show |
The Cardinals have won two straight games including last night's opener with the Reds, 7-6. The red birds have improved to 34-27 on the season. Michael Wacha has been very good for the Cards with a 7-1 record, 2.41 ERA and 1.098 WHIP. In fact, Wacha has allowed one run or less in five of his last six and and seven of his last nine (the other two games he allowed two runs). The Reds are now 20 games below .500 at 22-42. They will send Luis Castillo to the hill today with a 4-6 record, 5.64 ERA and 1.448 WHIP. Castillo has allowed eight runs over his last 9 2/3 innings or work. Big edge in starters here to the Cardinals with a very good Wacha on the hill. This is my top play for today on the Cardinals. |

06-08-18 | Angels v. Twins UNDER 9 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
The Angels have been on a very good under roll of late, with seven of their last eight games going UNDER. Garrett Richards will try and keep that low scoring streak alive tonight. Richards is 4-4 on the season with a 3.25 ERA. Richards has been sharp, allowing just four total earned runs over his last four starts. The Twins have also been a decent under team, going 1-4-1 O/U in their last six games. They will send Lance Lynn to the hill. Lynn is 4-4 with a 5.46 ERA and 1.750 WHIP. Lynn has pitched much better of late though, allowing three earned runs in his last three starts (18 2/3 innings). I like both these pitchers to keep this game low scoring. Play the UNDER. |

06-08-18 | Mariners -113 v. Rays | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
Seattle has used a 7-3 run to climb into first place in the AL West, one game ahead of the Houston Astros. The M's send Marco Gonzales to the hill tonight with his 6-3 record, 2.97 ERA and 1.290 WHIP. Gonzales has been great of late, allowing no runs over his last three starts (19 1/3 innings). Tampa Bay has now lost seven straight games. The Rays haven't won in June! They will send reliever Wilmer Font to make his first start. Font has pitched well out of the pen with a 1.50 ERA in four games. The Rays have lost all four to the Mariners this year and I don't see that changing here tonight. Play Seattle. |
|||||||
06-08-18 | Yankees v. Mets UNDER 7 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
It's the subway series as the Yankees face the Mets from Shea. Despite being one of the best lineups in baseball, the Yankees have gone under in three straight. Their pitching has been solid. Today they send Masahiro Tanaka to the hill. Tanaka is 7-2 with a 4.88 ERA and 1.181 WHIP. The Mets have lost six straight games, thanks in big part to an offense that has scored 7 total runs during that span. Jacob Degrom has been excellent with a 4-0 record in his 12 starts and a 1.49 ERA. Degrom has not allowed more than one run in a start in eight straight contests. I like this one to stay under as Degrom keeps the Mets close. |
|||||||
06-08-18 | Brewers +117 v. Phillies | 12-4 | Win | 117 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
The Brewers have dropped three straight games and are now 37-25 on the season. They will look to snap their losing streak tonight with Jhoulys Chacin. Chacin is having a very good season at 4-1 with a 3.39 ERA and 1.275 WHIP. Chacin is coming off a 5 2/3 inning performance over the White Sox where he gave up no runs and three hits. The Phillies have lost two straight and five of their last six games. They have dropped to 32-28 on the season. They will send Vincent Velasquez to the hill. Velasquez is 4-6 on the season with a 3.82 ERA and 1.288 WHIP. Both these pitchers have been very proficient, but the 1st place Brewers are just the better team overall right now. Play Milwaukee. |
|||||||
06-07-18 | Mariners -108 v. Rays | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Seattle had its five game win streak snapped last night by Houston, 5-7. The M's will look to start a new streak tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. They will start Mike Leake tonight who is 5-3 this season with a 4.71 ERA and 1.294 WHIP. Leake has put together three outstanding starts, allowing just four runs in the process (21 2/3 innings). The Rays bring a six-game losing streak into tonight's contest. Tampa Bay will turn to Ryan Stanek to stop the streak. Stanek is 0-1 in his two starts. Don't expect much from Stankek as he's a reliever who has not made it past the 2nd inning thus far in his two starts. He's allowed two runs in that short stint with a 6.00 ERA and 0.667 WHIP. It will be the Rays bullpen that decides this one. They are fair with a 3.93 ERA, but have eight blown saves this season. Seattle has been very good and I look for them to begin a new win streak tonight. Play Seattle. |
|||||||
06-07-18 | Phillies +108 v. Cubs | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
The Phillies and Cubs have split the first two games of their series with Chicago winning last night 7-5. The Phillies will start Nick Pivetta today who is 4-4 in his 12 starts with a 3.48 ERA and 1.145 WHIP. Pivetta has pitched very well of late, not allowing more than three runs in any of his last five starts. The Cubs improved to 34-24 with their win last night. They will turn to Tyler Chatwood today. Chatwood is 3-4 in his 11 starts with a 4.02 ERA and 1.733 WHIP. There is value here with the dog today, something I always look for. The Phillies have just as good starter today and both teams are evenly matched. Take the Phillies. |
|||||||
06-06-18 | Mariners +180 v. Astros | 5-7 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
The Mariners win streak is now up to 5-games with their win over Houston last night, 7-1. I had the Mariners as a nice dog last night. Their pitching has been superb during their win streak, allowing one run in four of the five wins and three in the other. Wade Leblanc gets the start tonight. Leblanc is 1-0 with a 1.72 ERA in his six starts and have not allowed over two runs in any of those outings. Houston will turn to Lance McCullers Jr to snap their three-game losing streak. McCullers is 7-3 with a 3.89 ERA. Mariners are big dog here on Wednesday and they have a hot pitcher on the hill. I see lots of value with this dog. Play the Mariners. |
|||||||
06-06-18 | Phillies +123 v. Cubs | 5-7 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
The Phillies beat the Cubs in the opener on Tuesday, 6-1. They will turn to Aaron Nola today who is 7-2 in his 12 starts. Nola has a nice 2.18 ERA and 0.932 WHIP. The Cubs will turn to Jose Quintana today. Quintana is 6-4 in his 11 starts with a 4.30 ERA and 1.415 WHIP. Surprisingly, Quintana has been worse at home with a 2-2 record and 6.66 ERA. Phillies are a nice live dog here tonight. They are a good team with a above average starter on the hill. Play the Phillies. |
|||||||
06-06-18 | A's -110 v. Rangers | 2-8 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's lost their opener to the Rangers on Tuesday, 4-7. The A's will turn to Daniel Mengden tonight. Mengden is 6-4 in his 12 starts with a nice 2.91 ERA and 0.969 WHIP. Mengden allowed three runs in his last outing, but before that he went five innings without giving up more than two runs. Texas will counter tonight with ageless Bartolo Colon. Colon is 2-3 in his 10 starts with a 4.40 ERA and 1.060 WHIP. After a nice start to the season, Colon has struggled of late, allowing nine runs over his last 10 innings of work. A's have a big edge here in starters and with the low price I'll take Oakland. |
|||||||
06-06-18 | Braves -126 v. Padres | 1-3 | Loss | -126 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
Early start today for these clubs. The have split their first two games with each team scoring big. The Padres won on Monday, 11-4 and the Braves won on Tuesday, 14-1. Mike Foltynewicz starts today for the Braves. Foltynewicz is 5-3 on the season with a nice 2.22 ERA and 1.159 WHIP. Foltynewicz is coming off a nice win over the Nationals, 4-0 where he allowed just two hits and no runs in a 9-inning complete game. The Padresw ill start Matt Strahm today. Strahm has mainly pitched out of the bullpen, so don't expect more than a few innings from him today. Strahm went two innings in his last start with just two hits and no runs. Braves hold the big edge in starter here and they also have a much more potent lineup. Play the Braves. |
|||||||
06-05-18 | Braves v. Padres UNDER 7.5 | 14-1 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 16 m | Show | |
The Braves lost their opener at San Diego on Monday, 4-11. The over snapped a string of five straight unders for Atlanta. The Braves had been getting very good pitching and solid bullpen work. They look to get back to those lower scoring way today with Sean Newcomb. Newcomb is 6-1 in his 11 starts with a 2.73 ERA and 1.213 WHIP. Newcomb has allowed over two runs just one time in his last six starts and that was three runs. The Padres have won three straight and will start Jordan Lyles tonight. Lyles is 2-1 in five starts with a 3.64 ERA and 1.180 WHIP. Lyles coming off an excellent outing where he allowed just two runs over seven innings. Don't expect the kind of runs they got last night. I'm going UNDER. |
|||||||
06-05-18 | Mariners +110 v. Astros | 7-1 | Win | 110 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
The Mariners bring a four game winning streak into tonight's opener at Houston. The M's will James Paxton who is 4-1 in his 12 starts this season. Paxton tossed that no-hitter back on May 8th and since then has pitched very well, allowing over two runs one time in four starts. In fact, you have to go back to his first start of the season to find that lone loss. While Houston split with Boston, they did lost the last two the series. If there is one Achille's heal on this pitching staff, it's Dallas Keuchel. Keuchel is 3-7 on the season with a 3.65 ERA and 1.230 WHIP. Keuchel has been inconsistent, allowing four runs in two of his last three starts. I like value in dogs and there's value here tonight with the Mariners. Play Seattle. |
|||||||
06-05-18 | Dodgers -113 v. Pirates | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
The Dodgers have won three straight games heading into this series with the Pirates. Ross Stripling has been very good for LA with a 3-1 record in his six starts, a 2.18 ERA and a 1.121 WHIP. Stripling has not allowed over two runs in any of his last five starts. Pittsburgh split their four game series with the Cardinals, winning the first two and losing the last two. Three of the four game set went UNDER. Joe Musgrove gets the start today. Musgrove is 2-0 in his two starts, allowing just one run and 12 hits over his 14 innings. In addition, Musgrove has 12 KO's to just four walks. This is a very good pitching matchup, but I'm taking the visitor here. Take LA. |

06-05-18 | Rays v. Nationals UNDER 7 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Max Scherzer is now 9-1 on the season in his 12 starts. That's pretty amazing. The guy has been great too and maybe the leader for the NL Cy Young at this point. Scherzer has a 1.92 ERA and 0.854 WHIP. In all 12 starts he's allowed more than two runs just one time! The Rays Nathan Eovaldi had a excellent start in his return to the mound. He went six solid innings with no runs and no hits. Two very good pitchers here, runs will be at a premium. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
06-04-18 | Yankees v. Tigers OVER 9.5 | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 10 m | Show |
The Tigers are getting hammered in Game #1 of a day/night twin bill. I look for a Tiger rebound in game two vs German is coming off a poor start against the Astros where he gave up three earned runs on 5 hits. German has given up 5 home runs in his last 3 games and 15 runs in his last 14 innings. The Tigers have been hitting really well lately and i see no reason they should not be able to put up 4 or more tonight. Play Over in Game #2 |
|||||||
06-03-18 | Reds v. Padres -103 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |

Ross has been very consistent of late, allowing over three runs just one time in his last six starts and twice in his last nine starts. The Padres have been hitting much better of late and with Ross on the the hill they have the advantage here today. Play San Diego. |

06-03-18 | Rays -107 v. Mariners | 1-2 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay looks to snap a three-game losing streak today at Seattle. The Rays have lost both games to the Mariners, 3-4 and 1-3 on Saturday. The Rays had a nice win streak prior to their losing streak, winning five straight games. Blake Snell gets the start today for the Rays. Snell has been very good with a 7-3 record in 12 starts, a 2.56 ERA and 0.995 WHIP. Snell has not allowed an earned run his last two starts and two runs over his last three. Felix Hernandez starts for the Mariners. Hernandez is 5-4 with a 5.83 ERA and 1.402 WHIP. Hernandez has allowed nine runs in his last two starts (11 innings). Snell is the best the Rays have and I look for him to get a win for Tampa Bay. Play the Rays. |

06-03-18 | Phillies -117 v. Giants | 1-6 | Loss | -117 | 4 h 25 m | Show | |
The Phillies have lost two straight to the Giants and have actually yet to score in this series, being outscored 4-0 in game one and 2-0 in game two yesterday. Philly will start Jake Arrieta today. Arrieta has been very good of late, going 13 straight innings without allowing a run. In fact, He's allowed just three total runs over his last five starts. The Giants will start Dereck Rodriguez today, who's making his first start of the season. Rodriquez has been on the shelf since getting hit in the leg by a comebacker in his big-league debut. Rodriquez had a 3.40 ERA and 1.19 WHIP at Triple-A. Don't expect the Phillies to get shut out again here today. They have a really hot Arrieta on the hill too. Play the Phillies. |
|||||||
06-03-18 | Nationals v. Braves UNDER 9 | 2-4 | Win | 105 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
Both these teams having excellent seasons with the Nationals at 33-24 and the Braves at 34-24. They also both have excellent pitching staffs as the Nationals have held opponents to just 3.5 runs per game and the Braves have held opponents to just 3.9 runs per games. So it's not surprising that the Nationals have gone under in 9 straight games and the Braves under in five of their last six. The Braves start Anibal Sanchez who is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.333 WHIP. The Nats will start Jeremy Hellickson who is 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA and 0.930 WHIP. Two good pitchers, two under teams, that to me is another recipe for UNDER. |

06-02-18 | Cubs v. Mets UNDER 7.5 | 7-1 | Loss | -128 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
The Cubs have improved to 31-23 with two straight wins over the Mets. Chicago has a very good pitching staff, both starters and a bullpen that allows just 2.72 ERA and 1.203 WHIP. The Cubs have outscored the Mets 12-5 so far in this series. Mike Montgomery gets the start today for Chicago. Montomery is 1-0 and only has one start. However, that was a very good start, allowing just two hits and no runs over 5 2/3 innings. The Mets will turn to Jacob DeGrom. Degrom is 4-0 in his 11 starts with a 1.52 ERA and 1.010 WHIP. Degrom has allowed just 2 total runs over his last seven starts! Degrom has been on an amazing run and I look for that to continue here today. Montgomery should also be effective and that leads me to the UNDER today. |
|||||||
06-02-18 | Cubs v. Mets -111 | 7-1 | Loss | -111 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
The Mets jacob DeGrom has been amazing so far in 2018. 1.52 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. he has allowed only 2 runs over his last seven starts. And his hard contact rate is incredible. There are a lot of hot pitchers in baseball right now but none is better than DeGrom. The Cubs have taken the first 2 in this series so the pressure is on the Mets to show up with a great effort behind their Ace. Play the Mets

McCarthy allowed nine hits and five runs over 5 1/3 innings in his last start to the Mets. The Nats will turn to Gio Gonzalez today, who is 6-2 on the season with a 1.97 ERA and 1.230 WHIP. Gonzalez has allowed just three runs over his last 20 2/3 innings of work. The Nationals are too good a team to be held down three straight games and especially with Gonzalez on the hill. Play the vistor, take Washington. |

06-01-18 | Marlins v. Diamondbacks UNDER 9 | 1-9 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
Arizona had Wednesday off and the Marlins lost at San Diego, 3-8. After a red-hot start to the season, the Diamondbacks could fall back to .500 with a loss tonight. Clay Buchholz will try to keep that from happening. Buchholz is 0-1 in his two games started with a 1.64 ERA and 0.455 WHIP. Buchholz has allowed just two runs over his 11 innings of work. The Marlins will turn to Elieser Hernandez tonight. Hernandez is 0-2 in his short three games started, but also has a very good ERA of 2.40 and WHIP of 1.000. Both pitchers have short resumes this year, but impressive none the less. I like this game to go UNDER. |
|||||||
06-01-18 | Pirates v. Cardinals -121 | 4-0 | Loss | -121 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Pirates lost a slugfest with Cardinals on Thursday, 8-10. The Pirates dropped to 29-27 with the loss. Jameson Taillon will start today for the Bucs.

The Cardinals improved to 30-24 with their win on Thursday. Miles Mikolas will try and improve to 7-0 tonight. Mikolas has a ERA of 2.58 and WHIp of 0.980 in his six wins. I like the red birds here tonight, especially with Mikolas on the hill. Take St Louis. |

Frankie Montas makes just his second start of the season tonight. Montas is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA after allowing just one run in his first start. The Royals had Thursday off. KC is just 20-36 on the season. Struggling Ian Kennedy will take to the hill tonight. Kennedy is 1-5 in 11 starts with a 5.15 ERA and 1.543 WHIP. Kennedy has allowed 21 runs in his last four starts (20 2/3 innings). Both teams have struggled, but the A's have a pitcher I can get behind here. Play Oakland. |

In fact, Foltynewicz has been on fire of late, allowing just two earned runs over his last four starts (23 innings). Both these pitchers are hot and very good. I'm going UNDER here tonight. |

06-01-18 | Blue Jays v. Tigers -106 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Detroit played a day game on Wednesday as they hosted the LA Anelgs. The Tigers were a huge dog and jumped out to a 5-0 1st inning lead an never looked back en route to a 6-2 win. The Tigers turn to Blaine Hardy today. Hardy is 1-0 in his three starts with a 2.76 ERA. So far Hardy has not allowed more than two runs in any of his three starts. The Blue Jays look to snap a three game losing streak tonight. Jaime Garcia will get the start for the Jays. Garcia is 2-3 in his nine starts with a 5.91 ERA and has 1.533 WHIP. The Tigers are a small home dog here tonight and I like the value they have in this spot. Tke the Tigers. |

05-31-18 | Rangers v. Mariners -1.5 | 1-6 | Win | 145 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
After taking game one vs the Rangers, the Mariners have lost two straight to Texas. This has put a damper on their 9-3 streak the last 12 games. Still, the M's have improved to 33-22 on the season. They turn to Wade LeBlanc today. LeBlanc has no record in his five starts, but has a very good 1.71 ERA and 0.949 WHIP. In fact, LeBlanc has not allowed over two runs in any of his five starts this season. Mike Minor will start for the Rangers. Minor is 4-3 in his 10 starts with a 5.63 ERA and 1325 WHIP. Unlike LeBlanc, Minor has now allowed under three runs in any of is last five starts. I like the Mariners to rebound here tonight and I'm laying the 1.5 runs with them. Play Seattle -1.5 runs. |

05-31-18 | Indians -115 v. Twins | 9-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |

Beiber will be called up from Triple-A Columbus for his first career start in the big leagues. Bieber is 5-1 in the minors this year with a 1.10 ERA and has 61 KO's to just three walks in his 65 1/3 innings of work. The Twins have lost two straight and six of their last seven games. The will send Jake Odorizzi to the hill. Odorizzi is 3-2 in his 11 starts with a 3.34 ERA and 1.281 WHIP. Bieber has been impressive in the minors and throws hard. I'll take a chance on his with the hot Indians. Play Cleveland. |

05-31-18 | Red Sox v. Astros OVER 9 | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Two teams that both can score runs in bunches meet up today in Houston as the Astros host the Red Sox. Boston averages 5.4 runs per game while the Astros average 5.0 runs per game. Add to the mix a pair of starters how have had mixed results and that's a recipe for a high scoring game. The Red Sox send Drew Pomeranz to the hill with a 1-2 record and 6.75 ERA. Meanwhile. Lance McCullers Jr will toe the rubber for the Astros. McCullers is 6-3 but is coming off a terrible start where he allowed seven earned runs over just 4 1/3 innings of work. I like these teams to get plenty of runs tonight. I'm taking the OVER. |

05-31-18 | Phillies +164 v. Dodgers | 2-1 | Win | 164 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
The Phillies look to even their series with the Dodgers at two games a piece tonight after losing on Wednesday, 2-8. The Phillies will send Aaron Nola to the hill. Nola is 6-2 with a 2.27 ERA and a 0.981 WHIP. Nola has pitched very well, allowing one run or less in four of his last five starts. The Dodgers are still three games shy of the .500 mark after their win on Wednesday at 26-29. Clayton Kershaw returns from the DL to make his first start since May 1st. Kershaw has just a 1-4 record, but decent 2.86 ERA and 1.136 WHIP. I'm not sure how sharp Kershaw will be tonight and with a big line on the lefty, I'll take the dog and see if Kershaw is his old self or has some rust. Play Philadelphia. |

05-31-18 | Angels -1.5 v. Tigers | 2-6 | Loss | -125 | 2 h 18 m | Show | |

Heaney is 2-3 in his eight starts with a 3.09 ERA and 1.200 WHIP. Heaney has pitched very well of late, allowing jut two earned runs over his last three starts (20 1/3 innings). The Tigers will start Ryan Carpenter. Carpenter is 0-1 in his two starts with a 9.00 ERA and 1.750 WHIP. Carpenter has lasted on eight total innings in his two starts and has allowed eight runs. I like the Angels here against a shaky starter, in fact I will lay the 1.5 runs with LA. Play LA on the run line. |

Paxton is 4-1 in his 11 starts with a 3.10 ERA and 0.962 WHIP. Since Paxton threw his no hitter he's allowed six runs over 22 innings with just one walk and 23 KO's. The Rangers send Matt Moore to the hill. Moore is 1-5 in his nine starts with a lofty 8.19 ERA and 2.041 WHIP. Not much debate here that the Mariners have the better pitcher on the hill by far. I'm going to lay the 1.5 runs with Seattle. |

05-30-18 | Twins v. Royals UNDER 9 | 8-11 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
These two teams played a marathon on Tuesday, going 14 innings to finally decide the game in which the Royals won 2-1. That means these teams will be pretty tired out for today's contest. The Twins will start Fernando Romero who is 2-1 in his five starts with a 1.88 ERA and 1.116 WHIP. Romero has allowed over two runs just one time in his five starts. The Royals will start Brad Keller for the first time this year. They want to see if Keller can make the transition from reliever to starter. Keller has an exceptional 2.01 ERA in his stint in the Royals pen this year. I like this game to go under as both teams will be tired and both starters should do well here. Play UNDER. |

05-30-18 | Nationals -1.5 v. Orioles | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Washington has run their win streak to five now with two straight wins over their rivals from Baltimore. The Nationals can sweep this series today with Max Scherzer on the hill. Scherzer is 8-1 in his 11 starts with a 2.14 ERA and 0.907 WHIP. Scherzer is coming off his worst start of the season, allowing four runs over six innings. Baltimore dropped to 17-38 with their loss on Tuesday. The O's will send David Hess to the hill. Hess is 2-1 in his three starts with a 4.15 ERA and 1.326 WHIP. I don't expect two mediocre starts from Scherzer and the Nats are just too good for the O's. Lay the 1.5 runs here with Washington. |

05-29-18 | Phillies v. Dodgers UNDER 7 | 6-1 | Push | 0 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Looks like we have another great pitching matchup on the diamond here tonight as the Phillies take on the Dodgers. One time Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta is 4-2 for the Phillies this year with a 2.45 ERA and 1.149 WHIP. Arrieta has not allowed over two runs in his last four starts and last time out went 6 2/3 innings and gave up no runs. The Dodgers send Kenta Maeda to the hill. Maeda is 4-3 on the season with a 3.44 ERA. Maeda has pitched great of late, allowing no runs over his last two starts (14 2/3 innings). This should be a good one, I'm taking the UNDER. |

05-29-18 | Astros -117 v. Yankees | 5-6 | Loss | -117 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
May Game of the Month : On Monday I called this the best pitching in baseball vs the best hitting in baseball. I took the Astros yesterday with Verlander as I believe that great pitching beats great hitting. I was right yesterday. Today, it's Charlie Morton for the Astros. Morton is the best pitcher thus far for Houston with a 7-0 record in his 10 starts, a 2.04 ERA and 0.973 WHIP. Morton just keeps his team in every game. So can it happen again? Can the Astros pitchers keep the Yankees hitters in check? I believe so and I'm backing it with my May Game of the Month here on the Astros. Play Houston. |

05-29-18 | Nationals +107 v. Orioles | 3-2 | Win | 107 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
The Nationals look to extend their winning streak to five games tonight at their rival Baltimore Orioles. Jeremy Hellickson is 1-0 this year in his seven starts. Hellickson has pitched very well, with a 2.13 ERA and 0.895 WHIP. In addition, Hellickson has not allowed over one run in any of his last four starts. The Orioles have lost three straight to drop to 17-37. Dylan Bundy will try and halt the losing streak today. Bundy is 3-6 with a 4.45 ERA and 1.245 WHIP. Still, not sure why Baltimore has become a favorite of 1.20 in this contest. The Nationals are the much better team and have the much better starter on the hill. I'll take the road dog here, play Washington. |

Dog Shocker: The LA Angels dropped to 29-24 with their loss on Sunday to the Yankees, 1-3. Now the Angles continue their Eastern swing today at Detroit. Tyler Skaggs takes the hill for the Halos. Skaggs is 3-3 in his 10 starts with four quality outings. Skaggs has a 3.11 ERA and 1.237 WHIP. Still, Skaggs hasn't won a game in his last five starts. The Tigers improved to 23-29 with their win on Sunday over the White Sox, 3-2. Matt Boyd has pitched well for Detroit, but his 2-4 record doesn't reflect this. Boyd has a 3.29 ERA with a 1.077 WHIP and hadn't allowed over three runs in any of his last three starts. I love it when I can find a huge home dog that has what I believe is the better pitcher on the hill. That's just what we get today with Boyd. Take the Tigers. |

05-28-18 | Mets -135 v. Braves | 3-4 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 33 m | Show | |
Inner Circle (Game 1) : The Mets will try and snap their three game losing streak after dropping three of four to the Brewers. The Mets pitching staff was ripped for 25 runs in the last two games of that Brewers series. Today they will send Jacob Degrom to the hill. Degrom is 4-0 with a nifty 1.54 ERA with a 0.994 WHIP. Degrom has six quality starts in 10 outings and has allowed just one earned run over his last six starts! Atlanta snapped their three game losing streak with a 7-1 win on Sunday to salvage a gaem in their Boston series. The Braves send their 9th pitcher to the hill on Monday in Max Fried. Fried is being brought up from Triple-A to start game one of this double header. Can't back a first timer here against a pitcher like Degrom who hasn't been giving up runs at all. Lay the price with the Mets in game 1. |

05-28-18 | Astros -128 v. Yankees | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 28 m | Show | |
This series will be the top ranked pitching of the Houston Astros against the top ranked hitting of the New York Yankees. There isn't a better pitching staff from starters through bullpen then the Houston Astros. They allow just 2.6 runs per game. There isn't a more potent lineup in baseball from top to bottom then the NY Yankees. So today we get the best against the best. Justin Verlander starts with his 6-2 record in 11 starts and 1.08 ERA and 0.710 WHIP. Verlander has 10 quality starts this year and has allowed over one run just one time in his last six starts - and that was two runs. The Yankees will start Domingo German who is 0-1 in his three starts with a 7.36 ERA and 1.227 WHIP. No doubt the Astros have the huge pitching edge here. I believe great pitching beats great hitting and I'll back it up today with the Astros. |

05-28-18 | Nationals -129 v. Orioles | Top | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 28 m | Show |
Washington improved to 29-22 with their win on Sunday over the Marlins, 5-2. The Nats don't have far to travel as they head to Baltimore to take on the Orioles. Washington will start Gio Gonzalez with his 5-2 record, 2.26 ERA and 1.258 WHIP. Gonzalez has pitched very well of late, allowing just three runs over his last three starts (18 innings). The Orioles are having a season to forget as they dropped to 17-36 with their loss on Sunday to Tampa Bay, 3-8. The O's send reeling Alex Cobb to the hill. Cobb is 1-6 with a lofty 7.32 ERA and 1.932 WHIP. Cobb pretty much reflects the season the O's are having - horrible! This rivalry will go to the much better Nationals. Play Washington. |

05-27-18 | Cardinals +109 v. Pirates | 6-4 | Win | 109 | 3 h 49 m | Show | |
St Louis snapped their three game losing streak on Saturday with a win over the Pirates, 4-1. The win improved the team to 27-22 on the season. Miles Mikolas has been a surprise for the red birds this year with a 6-0 records in his nine starts. Mikolas has a 2.24 ERA and 0.978 WHIP. Mikolas has allowed just three earned runs over his last four starts (27 2/3 innings). The Pirates dropped to 28-23 with the loss on Saturday. They turn to Jameson Taillon today. Taillon is 2-4 in his 10 starts with a 4.56 ERA and 1.286 WHIP. Taillon is coming off one of his worst starts, allowing six runs over six innings in a loss to the Reds. Big pitching difference today with Mikolas being red-hot and very good. I'm taking the visitor here. Take St Louis. |

05-27-18 | Astros -115 v. Indians | 9-10 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
The Astros have taken two of the first three in this series with the Cleveland Indians. They dropped Saturday's game 6-8. They can sweep today or split. Gerrit Cole has been one of their best starters this year on a team loaded with pitching talent. Gerrit is 5-1 with a 1.86 ERA and 0.828 WHIP. Cole has been just amazing with nine quality starts in his 10 games. The Indians will counter with Trevor Bauer. Bauer is 4-3 with a 2.35 ERA and 1.154 WHIP. Bauer has been very good too, but the Astros just are the complete package right now and have just too much pitching on their side. I'm taking the Astros. |

05-26-18 | Astros -102 v. Indians | 6-8 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros have won five straight games after taking the first two games in this series with the Indians. The Astros pitching staff, one of the best in baseball, has held their last five opponents to two runs or less. Lance McCullers Jr is one of their best, with a 6-2 record in his 10 starts. McCullers has a 3.20 ERA with a 1.136 WHIP. The Indians have now dropped to under .500 with these two losses to the Astros. Carlos Carrasco will toe the rubber for the Tribe. Carrasco is 5-3 with a 3.64 ERA. While Carrasco is very good, I'm not going against the red-hot Astros here with a top pitcher on the hill. Play Houston. |

05-26-18 | Angels +145 v. Yankees | 11-4 | Win | 145 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
The Angels dropped game one of this series to the Yankees on Friday, 1-2. They look to even the series with Jamie Barria on the hill. Barria is 3-1 in his five starts with a 2.13 ERA and 1.026 WHIP. Barria has not allowed more than two runs in any of his five starts this season. The Yankees will counter with Sonny Gray. Gray is just 3-3 on the season with a 5.48 ERA and 1.630 WHIP. Gray has had a inconsistent starts this year. The Angels are a live dog today and I'm taking them. Play LA. |

05-26-18 | Orioles v. Rays UNDER 8.5 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Baltimore took game one of this series on Friday, 2-0. The Orioles still having a rough season at just 17-34. They will look to Andrew Cashner today. Cashner is 2-5 with a 4.72 ERA and 1.554 WHIP. Though, Cashner has pitched much better of late, allowing three runs or less in each of his last four starts. Meanwhile, the Rays have seen five of their last six games go under. Tampa Bay is 23-26 on the season and will send first time starter Ryan Stanek to the hill. Stank, a releiver, has a 5.40 ERA in his five innings of work out the pen this year. I still like this game to go UNDER. Cashner is pitching well and Baltimore won't have time to adjust to Stanke's short starting stint. Play the UNDER. |

05-26-18 | Diamondbacks v. A's UNDER 8.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 56 m | Show | |
Arizona finally snapped their seven game losing streak last night in game one of this series, 7-1. Still, the Diamondbacks have had a lack of offense during their slide, scoring two runs or less in eight of their last 10 games. Clay Buchholz gets only his second start of the season today. Buchholz did well in his debut, going five innings allowing two hits and one run to the Mets. The A's will counter with Daniel Mengden who is 4-4 in his 10 starts with a 3.30 ERA and 1.081 WHIP. Mengden has pitched very well of late, allowing just four earned runs over his last four starts (24 2/3 innings). Both these pitchers are good and the D'backs still haven't shown me they are out of their slump. Play the UNDER. |

05-26-18 | Braves +117 v. Red Sox | 6-8 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 56 m | Show | |
The Braves lost game one of this series with the Red Sox on Friday, 2-6. The Braves will look to even the series by sending Sean Newcomb to the hill. Newcomb has had a excellent season with a 5-1 record and 2.39 ERA with a 1.139 WHIP. Newcomb has pitched great of late, allowing just one earned run over his last four starts (25 innings). The Red Sox continue their great season with a 35-16 record. Drew Pomeranz will start today. Pomeranz is just 1-2 for the Sox with a 5.96 ERA and 1.779 WHIP. Pomeranz is one of the only low points for this club this season. Still by virtue of being on this team he's a favorite against a much better pitcher today. I see value in the dog here, play Atlanta. |

05-25-18 | Twins v. Mariners UNDER 7 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Bailout Total of the Month : Late game on the schedule tonight has what looks like an excellent pitching duel. The Twins have gone UNDER in their last four game. Frank Romero is 2-0 in his four starts with a 1.66 ERA and 1.154 WHIP. Romero has allowed one run or less in three of his starts and three runs in the other one. Seattle has also gone under in four straight. They send James Paxton to the hill tonight. Paxton is 3-1 with a 3.30 ERA and 1.021 WHIP. Paxton had that no hitter just three starts ago. Two excellent pitchers here on the hill. I like this game to go UNDER. |

05-25-18 | Diamondbacks v. A's -128 | Top | 7-1 | Loss | -128 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
The Arizona Diamondbacks have fallen on hard times. After a fast start to the season, the D'backs have lost seven straight games and now could fall back to .500 with a loss tonight. Part of the issue is an offense that has dropped to just 3.7 runs per games. It won't get any easier tonight against the Athletics in this IL matchup. Pat Corbin has been very good for Arizona with a 4-1 record and a 2.60 ERA. However, the D'backs have lost his last four starts. The A's send Sean Manaea to the hill. Manaea is 5-4 but has a very good 2.71 ERA and a excellent 0.859 WHIP. I like the A's a lot here tonight against a struggling Arizona team. Play Oakland. |

05-25-18 | Mets v. Brewers UNDER 8 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Two really good starters clash here on Friday as the Mets start Noah Syndergaard. Syndergaard is 4-1 in his 10 starts with a nice 2.92 ERA and 1.193 WHIP. In addition, Syndergaard has not allowed more than two runs in each of his last three starts. The Brewers counter with Junior Guerra. Guerra may not have the results at 3-3, but he has an excellent 2.98 ERA and 1.228 WHIP. Like his opponent, Guerra has allowed just three total runs over his last 10 1/3 innings. I like this one to go UNDER tonight. |
|||||||
05-25-18 | White Sox v. Tigers UNDER 9 | 4-5 | Push | 0 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
The White Sox have struggled to a 15-32 record this season, a good part of that rests on an anemic offense that has averaged just 3.9 runs per game. The Sox have gone UNDER in eight of their last 11 games. They will send Reynoldo Lopez to the hill today. Lopez is just 1-3, but has a good ERA of 2.98 and WHIP of 1.160. Lopez coming off a eight inning, two hit, no run performance against the Rangers. Detroit hasn't been much better at 21-28. The Tigers send Michael Fiers to the hill. Fiers is 4-3 with a 4.57 ERA and 1.223 WHIP. Two anemic offenses and bad teams. I like this game to go UNDER. |
|||||||
05-25-18 | Astros v. Indians UNDER 8 | 11-2 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Houston has one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. Not only do they have great starting pitching, but their bullpen allows just 2.69 ERA and has 12 saves this season. Thus, the Astros have been a very good UNDER team at 17-31-3 O/U on the season. Dallas Keuchel starts today with a 3-6 record and 1.143 WHIP. Keuchel has allowed over two runs just two times in his last seven starts. The Indians send their Ace, Corey Kluber to the hill today. Kluber is 7-2 in his 10 starts with a 2.36 ERA and 0.843 WHIP. Kluber has 10 quality starts in his 10 outings. That is amazing and with that I look for a dead under in tonight's contest. |

05-24-18 | Red Sox v. Rays +123 | 3-6 | Win | 123 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Boston brings a four game win streak into this evenings contest at Tampa Bay. The Red Sox are now 34-15 on the season. Tampa Bay had clawed their way back to .500 before this 3-game losing streak. The Rays will send Blake Snell to the hill to try and snap the losing streak. Snell is 5-3 with a 3.07 ERA and 1.040 WHIP. Snell has allowed over two earned runs just once in his last eight starts. The Red Sox will counter with Rick Porcello, who is 6-1 on the season with a 3.39 ERA and 1.052 WHIP. Both these pitchers are excellent, but Snell keeps his team in games and that's what I look for in live dogs. Play the home dog here, play Tampa Bay. |

05-24-18 | Astros v. Indians UNDER 8 | 8-2 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Houston has been one of the best under teams in baseball this year with a 16-31-3 O/U mark. Mainly because they have such good starting pitching and a solid pen. In fact, they are 2-10-1 O/U in their last 13 games. The pen has a solid 2.76 ERA with 12 saves. Charlie Morton is a perfect 6-0 this season with a 1.94 ERA and 0.934 WHIP. The Indians will start Mike Clevinger, who is 3-1 with a 2.87 ERA and 1.157 WHIP. Both these pitchers are excellent and once again I'll stick with the UNDER |

05-23-18 | Rockies +163 v. Dodgers | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Colorado continues to play well at 26-23 on the season. The Rockies send Kyle Freeland to the hill. Freeland is 4-4 in his nine starts this season. Freeland has been pitching very well of late, allowing just one earned runs over his last 13 innings. In addition, he's allowed three earned runs over his last 20 innings of work. The Dodgers have struggled with both winning and injuries this year. Rich Hill and Clayton Kershaw are both on the shelf as is Hyan-Jin Ryu. SS Corey Seager is out for the season with an elbow injury. Kenta Maeda starts today with a 3-3 record and 3.98 ERS. Maeda rebounded from a five run outing to throw a 2-hitter his last time out with no earned runs. Rockies a big dog here and with Freeland on the hill I think they have some good value. I'll take Colorado. |

05-23-18 | Braves +111 v. Phillies | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Luis Gorhara makes his first start today for the Braves. Gorhara is only 21-years old and left Spring Training as the top person for the fifth starter. However, Gorhara has been battling groin and ankle injuries. Philly sends Jake Arrieta to the hill today. Arrieta is 3-2 in his eight starts with a 2.82 ERA and 1.142 WHIP. Arrieta has been pitching very well and Gohora has great potential. I like the UNDER here today. |

05-23-18 | Yankees v. Rangers OVER 9.5 | 10-12 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Yankees lost on Tuesday, but they continue to be one of the best teams in baseball with a 31-14 record. They also are one of the top scoring teams with a 5.9 runs per game average. CC Sabathia goes to the hill today. Sabathia is 2-1 in his eight starts with just three quality starts. Sabathia has run into some trouble of late, allowing eight runs over his last nine innings. Texas continues to struggle, now at 19-31 on the season. The Rangers send Doug Fister to the hill. Fister is just 1-4 in his eight starts with three quality outings. Both these veteran pitchers can put together excellent outings, but I like the OVER here today with the hard hitting Yankees. |

Skaggs has been very consistent of late, allowing two runs or less in his last five starts. The Jays still struggling to get back to .550 as they sit at 23-25. Aaron Sanchez take the hill tonight. Sanchez is 2=4 in nine starts with a 4.47 ERA and a 1.510 WHIP. Sanchez allowed four earned runs in four innings his last start. I like the Angels tonight with Skaggs on the hill. Play LA. |

Kansas City won on Tuesday, but they still are having a poor year with a 15-33 record. They average just 3.9 runs per game. The St Louis Cardinals are 26-20 and have a very good pitching staff that allows just 3.8 runs per game. Jake Junis starts for the Braves. Junis is 5-3 in his nine starts with a 3.51 ERA and 1.083 WHIP. Michael Wacha starts for the redbirds. Wacha is having an excellent season with a 5-1 record in his nine starts. In addition, Wacha has a 3.08 ERA with a 1.309 WHIP. Wacha ahsn't allowed over three runs in any of his last eight starts. I like this game to go UNDER with the light hitting Royals facing Wacha. |

05-22-18 | Tigers +145 v. Twins | 0-6 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Looking for some value in a dog and the Detroit Tigers came up. The Tigers and Minnesota both have 20 wins this season. The Tigers average 4.3 rpg while the Twins average 4.2 rpg. The Tigers send Matt Boyd to the hill. Boyd is 2-3 in his eight starts. But more important is that Boyd has six quality starts and just a 3.19 ERA with a 1.063 WHIP. Boyd has pitched very well, allowing more than three earned runs just twice in his eight starts. The Twins lost 1B Joe Mauer to the 15-DL a few days ago. That will hurt their already mediocre offense. Lance Lynn has not pitched well for the Twins, posting just a 1-4 mark in eight starts with a 7.47 ERA and 2.035 WHIP. Unlike Boyd, Lynn has just one quality start this season. Twins way too high a favorite here for having Lynn facing Boyd. I see good value with the Tigers. Play Detroit. |

The Blue Jays are coming off a four game losing sweep to the Oakland A's. the Jays will try to snap that losing streak tonight with J.A. Happ on the hill. Happ is 5-3 this year with a 4.15 ERA and 1.135 WHIP. I like LA here with a hot Richard on the hill. Play the Angels. |

Arizona has been a solid under play this season. Mainly because they have excellent starting pitching and they have a very good bullpen. The pen has just a 2.69 ERA with 14 saves this season. Zack Greinke will get the start today with a 3-2 record and 3.46 ERA. Greinke has been very sharp of late, allowing just three total runs over his last three starts, 18 2/3 innings with three BB's and 16 KO's. Milwaukee also has an excellent bullpen with a 2.62 ERA and 13 saves on the season. Chase Anderson gets the start with a 3-3 record and 3.97 ERA and 1.147 WHIP.

I like this game to go under, you need good pens these days to get unders and both these clubs posses that. Play UNDER. |

Looks like an excellent pitcher's duel here today as Jordan Lyles goes for the Padres. Lyles is 1-1, but has only a 0.73 ERA in his two starts with a 0.649 WHIP. Lyles has allowed just one earned run in 12 1/3 innings with 2 BB and 16 KO's. Trevor Williams will start for the Pirates. Williams is 5-2 in his nine starts with a 2.72 ERA and 1.132 WHIP. Williams coming off an excellent start where he allowed no earned runs over seven innings. Both these pitchers are doing very well and I look for a low scoring game here today. Play under. |

05-20-18 | Dodgers +128 v. Nationals | 7-2 | Win | 128 | 2 h 57 m | Show | |
Dodgers have won three straight games, including two straight from the Nationals. Still, the Dodgers clawing their way back to the .500 mark at 19-26. Alex Wood starts today and he's looking for his first win of the season in nine starts. Wood is 0-4 with a 3.35 ERA and 1.059 WHIP. Wood has pitched very well, especially of late where he's allowed just three earned runs over his last 16 innings. He just doesn't have the wins to support his excellent pitching. Washington will send Stephen Strasburg to the hill today. Strasburg is 5-3 in his nine starts with a 3.28 ERA and 1.028 WHIP. Dodgers show some value here as the dog. Wood is pitching very well and should hold his own against the Nats and Strasburg. I'm going to take the Dodgers here as a high valued dog. |

05-20-18 | A's -106 v. Blue Jays | Top | 9-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 11 m | Show |
Oakland goes for the four-game sweep today over the Toronto Blue Jays. The A's have won the first three of this series by a combined 18-10 margin. Daniel Mengden will start today. Mengden is 3-4 with a 3.76 ERA and 1.172 WHIP. Mengden has pitched very well of late, allowing just four earned runs overhis last 17 2/3 inings with just one BB and 13 KO's. Toronto has dropped below .500 with their three losses to 22-24. The Jays have now lost six of their last seven games. They will look to Joe Biagini today to get back on track. Biagini is 0-2 in his three starts with a 7.98 ERA and 1.840 WHIP. Not a good matchup here for the Jays who send a Biagini to the hill. Oakland playing with lots of confidence and I will take the A's. |

05-19-18 | Yankees -1.5 v. Royals | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
The Yankees have been one of the hottest teams in baseball until a rare loss last night at KC, 2-5. The loss was just their third in their last 13 games. The Yankees look to rebound today with Luis Servino. Servino is 6-1 on the season in his nine starts. Servino has seven quality starts with a 2.14 ERA and 0.890 WHIP. The Royals win was just their first in the last six games. The Royals look for another tonight with Danny Duffy. Duffy is 1-5 in his nine starts with a 6.51 ERA and 1.660 WHIP. Big difference in starters here today, plus the Yankees are the much better team. I'll lay the 1.5 runs with the Yankees tonight. Play Nyy -1.5 |
|||||||
05-19-18 | Brewers v. Twins UNDER 8.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The only IL action today has Milwaukee playing at Minnesota. The Brewers took game one of this series on Friday, 8-3. Today they will send Frank Peralta to the hill. Peralta makes just his second start of the season with a 1-0 record and 0.00 ERA. In his only start, Peralta went 5 2/3 innings and allowed just one hit and no runs. The Twins have lost four of their last five games. They will turn to Fernando Romero tonight. Romero is 2-0 in his three starts with a 0.54 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. Romero has allowed just one earned run thus far in his 21 2/3 innings. Both these pitchers are fresh and both have been almost unhittable. I'm taking the UNDER. |
|||||||
05-19-18 | Indians v. Astros UNDER 7 | 5-4 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros have been an excellent under team, going UNDER in two straight and 1-11-1 O/U in their last 13 games. This is thanks in big part to their starting pitching which has been excellent. Dallas Keuchel (3-3) starts today and while he has a losing record, his ERA is a fine 3.10 and a WHIP of 1.103. Keuchel has allowed just one run over his last 15 innings with 12 KO's and just three BB's. Cleveland counters with their Ace, Corey Kluber. Kluber is 6-2 with a 2.34 ERA and 0.842 WHIP. This one shapes up as another great pitching duel. I'm going UNDER once again. |
|||||||
05-19-18 | Rockies -117 v. Giants | 4-9 | Loss | -117 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
Colorado looks to take three straight from the Giants today. The Rockies won on Thursday and then last night, 6-1. They have outscored the Giants 11-4 in the series thus far. Today they send Jon Gray to the hill. Gray is 4-5 with a 4.67 ERA and 1.308 WHIP. The Giants look to snap a three-game losing streak today. San Francisco has been outscored 7-17 in that three game stretch. They turn to Chris Stratton today. Stratton is 4-3 in his nine starts with a 4.88 ERA and 1. 396 ERA. I like Colorado here as they are the better offensive team and these two starters are pretty much even. Play Colorado. |
|||||||
05-19-18 | Phillies +117 v. Cardinals | 7-6 | Win | 117 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
St Louis and Philadelphia have split the first two games of their four game series, with the Phils winning on Thursday and St Louis on Friday. The Phillies dropped to 25-17 with their loss last night. They will send Zach Eflin to the hill today. Eflin his 1-0 in his two starts with a 0.71 ERA and 0.789 WHIP. Eflin has given the Phils two quality starts, allowing no earned runs and one earned run in his two games. The Cardinals won on Friday, but are still just 2-4 in their last six games. They will send John Gant to the hill today. Gant has just one start and he gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings in his first start. The Phillies have a very good pitcher on the mound today and these teams are very evenly matched. I'll take the dog here with the Phillies. |
|||||||
05-18-18 | Yankees -1.5 v. Royals | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
The Yankees have won two straight games to improve to 28-12 on the season. The Yankees took two of three from the A's and have won 10 of their last 12. CC Sabathia has been excellent for NY, with a 2-0 record, 2.23 ERA and 1.018 WHIP. Sabathia had his worst outing of the season last time out, allowing four runs in four innings to the Red Sox. Kansas City just can't seem to get on track, losing five straight and dropping to 13-30 on the season. Jake Junis will toe the rubber for the Royals today with a 4-3 record. Junis has a 3.53 ERA and 1.039 WHIP this season. Junis allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings in his last start at Cleveland. Yankees just too good right now and Sabathia pitching great. I'm going to lay the 1.5 runs here with the Bronx Bombers. |
|||||||
05-18-18 | Indians v. Astros UNDER 8 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros look very much in form that saw them to the World Series Championship last year. The Astros are 28-17, but they are holding opponents to just 2.6 runs per game. The Astros Bullpen is solid, with a 2.94 ERA and nine saves, though they have five blown saves this year. But their starting pitching is the core of this team. They will start Charlie Morton today who is 5-0 in his eight starts this season. Morton has an ERA of just 2.03 and a WHIP of 0.966. Morton has six quality starts in his eight games. The Indians will counter with Mike Clevenger, who has also been one of their best starters this year. Clevenger is 3-0 in his eight starts with a 2.70 ERA and 1.069 WHIP. Clevenger has five quality starts out of his eight. I like this as another pitcher's duel and I'm taking the UNDER. |
|||||||
05-18-18 | Padres v. Pirates -124 | 3-2 | Loss | -124 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
The Pirates look to extend their winning streak to four games tonight against the Padres. The Bucs won the opening game of this series on Thursday, 5-4. Pittsburgh has now won eight of their last nine games. They will look to Ivan Nova tonight. Nova is 2-3 with a 5.01 ERA and 1.351 WHIP this season. The Padres dropped to 17-28 on the season with their loss on Thursday. Tyson Ross gets the start tonight. Ross is 2-3 this season with a 3.59 ERA and 1.175 WHIP. Pirates at home are always a good value, especially against a weak West Coast team. I'm takin the Pirates here tonight. |
|||||||
05-17-18 | Padres v. Pirates -136 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
The Pirates have won two straight and improved to 25-17 on the season. They face the Padres who won on Wednesday at Colorado to improve to 17-27. Eric Lauer (1-2) starts today for the Padres with a 8.27 ERA and 2.143 WHIP. Lauer is coming off a terrible start where he allowed six runs in just 2 1/3 innings. The Bucs have won two straight and seven of their last eight games. They will turn to Chad Kuhl tonight. Kuhl is 4-2 with a 4.17 ERA and 1.245 ERA. Padres have to make the trip East, which is never easy for a West coast team. In addition, the Pirates are playing well and have the better pitcher on the hill tonight. Play the Pirates. |
|||||||
05-17-18 | Dodgers v. Marlins +133 | 7-0 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
The Dodgers are in terrible form. Last night down 5-1 to the marlins, they came back to tie the game only to lose it 6-5 late. That makes them losers of six straight and 9 out of 10. Caleb Smith has been decent form and especially at home where his 2.38 era and 1.10 whip show the Marlins should not be catching this big price from the LAD. Play the Marlins today at this great price |
|||||||
05-16-18 | Brewers v. Diamondbacks +106 | Top | 8-2 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
The D-Backs have been ice cold lately, not only losing but also not scoring many runs. Losers of 6 of last 7 games, they are also rarely scoring more than 2 runs a game in this cold stretch. In today's day game, they will face Brandon Woodruff of the Brewers. There-in lies the biggest reason for this selection. Matt Koch goes for the DBacks aand has been solid. In his five starts, he has given up 3 runs just once. Compared to the stat line of Woodruff, this is a mismatch. the D Backs won yesterday behind Greinke and expect they will again today with Koch. Play the D-Backs |
|||||||
05-14-18 | Astros v. Angels UNDER 8 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
The Astro visit Anaheim today and they will send Lance McCullers to the mound. Lance has been especially tough on the Angels and i don't see that changing today. Even with McCullers shutting down the Angel bats i not playing a side in this game but i am on the UNDER. Looking further into the game shows that Heaney has pitched well against the Astros in the past ans is pitching well now. Play the Under today |
|||||||
05-14-18 | Brewers v. Diamondbacks -146 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -146 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
Pat Corbin has been solid. With a 4-0 record, he is also sporting a stellar, a 1.32 era at home with a 0.58 whip. That is very strong going into today's game vs the Brewers. This is a big game for the DBacks, as they look to stop the bleeding of a 5 game losing streak. This play is also a play against Junior Guerra's current form, which has been rocky. Play the Arizona D-Backs. |

05-13-18 | Braves -135 v. Marlins | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 31 m | Show | |
The Atlanta Braves have taken two of the first three in this series with Miami. The Braves have scored 22 runs to 13 of Miami. The Braves will start Sean Newcomb who is 3-1 on the season with a nice 2.88 ERA and 1.205 WHIP. Newcomb is coming off two very good starts where he allowed no earned runs over 13 innings with just four hits. Miami dropped to 14-25 with last night's loss. They will send Jose Urena to the hill who is still looking for his first win of the season against five losses. Urena has a 4.37 ERA and a 1.280 ERA, but has received very little support from the Marlins. Still, I like the Braves here a lot with a very good Newcomb on the hill. Play Atlanta. |
|||||||
05-13-18 | Mariners -1.5 v. Tigers | 4-5 | Loss | -130 | 1 h 30 m | Show | |
Seattle's James Paxton makes his first start since his no-hitter on May 8 against Toronto. Paxton became the first ever Canadian to throw a no hitter in Canada. Paxton has been very good all season, but on his no run streak he's gone 16 innings without allowing a run. Detroit will have its hands full with Paxton today as the Tigers are just 16-22 on the season. The Tigers will also start Blaine Hardy today. Hardy makes the first start of his career after pitching out of the bullpen. Still, I don't see the Tigers doing much of anything against a very hot Paxton. I'm going to lay the run and a half here today with Seattle. Play Seattle -1.5 runs. |

05-13-18 | Rays -104 v. Orioles | 1-17 | Loss | -104 | 1 h 25 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay looks to even their best of four series with the Orioles here today after dropping Saturday's contest, 3-6. The Rays are now 16-21 on the season. Blake Snell gets the start today and is one of their best pitchers at 4-2 with a 2.40 ERA and 0.945 WHIP. Snell has six quality starts in his eight games pitched and is coming off an excellent outing. The O's have a long way to get to .500 as they now sit at 12-28 on the season. They have dug themselves a deep hole. They will turn to Dylan Bundy today who is just 1-5 in his eight starts. Bundy has a 5.31 ERA with a 1.524 WHIP. I like the Rays here mainly because of Snell who keeps the Rays in ever game he pitches. Take Tampa Bay. |

05-12-18 | Braves v. Marlins +130 | 10-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins have split the first two games of their four game set, with the Braves taking game one and losing on Friday, 3-6. The Braves have one of the better bullpens in the league with a 3.61 ERA, eight saves and just one blown save. They will start Mike Sorka today with a 1-1 record in his two starts. Sorka has a 4.50 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. The Marlins are still 10 games under .500 at 14-24 on the season. They will turn to Jarlin Garcia today who is 1-1 in his five starts with a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Garcia was roughed-up in his last game, allowing seven earned runs over just four innings of work to the Cubs. Still, Garcia has had four other very good starts and I look for him to rebound here today. Take the Marlins. |
|||||||
05-12-18 | Giants v. Pirates -129 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
The Pittsburgh Pirates have run up a modest four-game win streak after taking Friday's game from the Giants, 11-2. The Pirates have scored in bunches during this run, outscoring their opposition, 36-13. Chad Kuhl gets the nod today for the Bucs with a 4-2 record in his seven starts. Kuhl has a 4.12 ERA and 1.296 WHIP this season. Kuhl is also coming off an excellent start where he allowed no runs and one hit over seven innings to the Brewers. The Giants slide has now reached five games after being swept in Philadelphia and now losing at Pittsburgh. The Giants have been outscored 43-10 during this losing streak. Jeff Samardzija will try and turn things around for the Giants today. Samardzija is 1-2 with a 6.62 ERA and 1.811 WHIP. Doesn't look good for the Giants as Samardzija has not pitched well. I like Pittsburgh to continue their hot streak. Play the Pirates. |

05-12-18 | Nationals v. Diamondbacks UNDER 8 | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show | |
Two of the better teams in baseball meet again here today as the Diamondbacks look to snap a three game losing streak. Arizona has lost the first two games of their series with the Nationals, both low scoring pitching duels. Arizona has one of the better pens with a 2.49 ERA and 1.070 WHIP and 13 saves. Troy Scribner makes his first start of the season for the Diamondbacks. The D'backs picked up Scribner off waivers from the Angels in April. Scribner spent all of 2018 in Triple-A Reno. The Nationals will start Stephen Strasburg here today. Strasburg is 4-3 in his eight starts with a 3.52 ERA and 1.044 WHIP. Strasburg has pitched well of late, allowing five runs over his last 14 innings with 16 KO's and just two walks. I like today's game to follow the first two and go UNDER. |
|||||||
05-11-18 | Nationals v. Diamondbacks UNDER 7.5 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
Two teams both looking to take their respective divisions matchup today as the Nationals travel to Arizona to take on the Diamondbacks. Washington beat Arizona last night, 2-1 in the first game of their four game set. The pitching has been excellent for the Nats, allowing just three runs over their last three games. Max Scherzer has been excellent this year for the Nats with a 6-1 record and 1.74 ERA and 0.852 WHIP. Scherzer has yet to allow more than two earned runs in any of his starts. Arizona has dropped to 24-13 after losing two games straight. Matt Koch has been very good the D'backs, with a 2-0 record in his four starts and a 2.31 ERA. Koch also has not allowed more than two runs in any of his four starts. This promises to be a good pitcher duel and I'm taking the UNDER |
|||||||
05-11-18 | Braves -128 v. Marlins | 3-6 | Loss | -128 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
The Braves bring a three game win streak into tonight's contest. The Braves improved to 22-14 with two wins at Tampa Bay and last night's win at Miami. Brandon McCarthy is 4-1 this year in his seven starts with a 4.84 ERA and 1.586 WHIP. Marcarthy is coming off his worst start, a 3 1/3 inning performance where he allowed eight runs. Miami has now lost four straight after being swept by the Cubs and last night's loss to the Braves. The Marlins will turn to Daniel Straily today. Straily is 0-0 in his two starts with a 6.57 ERA and 2.125 WHIP. I'm taking the Braves here tonight, they are winning and they have the better pitcher on the hill. Play Atlanta |

05-11-18 | Red Sox v. Blue Jays UNDER 8.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
The Red Sox continue to play well, now at 26-11 on the season after their win over the Yankees on Thursday, 5-4. Boston is getting excellent starting pitching, with four pitchers having an ERA under 2.79. Today's starter, Chris Sale is having an excellent season at 3-1 in eight starts with a 2.02 ERA and 0.939 WHIP. Sale has allowed just two earned runs over his last 14 innings with 18 KO's and 3 Walks. Toronto dropped to 20-18 after the loss on Thursday to Seattle, 3-9. The Mariners have an excellent bullpen that has a 2.88 ERA and 1.332 WHIP with 11 saves and just four blown saves. Aaron Sanchez starts today with a 4.14 ERA and 1.427 WHIP. Price too high to take Sox here, but I do like the UNDER. Play UNDER tonight. |

05-11-18 | Rays v. Orioles -125 | Top | 4-9 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
Tampa Bay still struggling to make it back to the .500 mark as they now sit at 15-19 on the season and bring a three-game losing streak into today's contest. The Orioles are also struggling, at just 10-27 they are way out of the race at this point. The O's have won two straight, beating the Royals in their last two games. Kevin Gausman is 2-2 this year with a 3.30 ERA and 1.145 WHIP. Gausman coming off an excellent start where he went 5 2/3 innings and allowed just one run. Tampa will counter with Jacob Faria, who is 3-1 with a 4.15 ERA and 1.212 WHIP. I'm taking the home team here. Two poor teams, but the O's have some momentum and they have the better pitcher on the hill. Play Baltimore. |

05-10-18 | Red Sox v. Yankees -124 | 5-4 | Loss | -124 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
The Yankees bring a 8-game win streak into tonight's game with the Red Sox. The Yankees have taken the first two in this series, winning 3-2 and then last night, 9-6. The Yankees also swept Cleveland and took three of four from the Astros. Their pitching has been excellent and today's starter, CC Sabathia has been red-hot. Sabathia is 2-0 in six starts with a 1.39 ERA and 0.866 WHIP. He's been even better than that recently, allowing just one run over his last four starts. The Red Sox will look to Eduardo Rodriquez to snap their modest losing streak. Rodriquez is 3-0 with a 5.29 ERA and 1.268 WHIP. Rodriguez is coming off two poor starts where he's allowed 10 runs over 10 innings. Sabathia is just pitching too well to pass on him here today. I'm taking the Yankees. |

05-09-18 | Mariners +114 v. Blue Jays | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Seattle pitcher James Paxton threw the first no-hitter by a Canadian on Canadian soil last night when he blanked the Jays, 5-0. The M's will try and send their win streak to two games tonight behind pitcher Wade Leblanc. Leblanc has just one start and pitched well, going just four innings and allowing no runs. Toronto has now lost four of the last five games after their no-hit loss on Tuesday. Jaime Garcia will start for the Jays with a 2-2 record in his six starts with a 6.60 ERA and 1.601 WHIP. Garcia coming off a terrible start where he allowed six runs over 3 1/3 innings. I like the Mariners again today with Leblanc. Play Seattle. |

05-09-18 | Astros -1.5 v. A's | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros have beaten the A's two straight games after Tuesday's win, 4-2. The Astros have now outscored Oakland, 20-4 in the series. Gerrit Cole gets the start today for the Astros. Cole has a 3-1 record in his seven starts with a nice 1.42 ERA and outstanding 0.691 WHIP. Cole has had seven quality starts, allowing more than two runs just once (3). Cole also has 28 KO's in his last two games against just one walk. Oakland's offense won't get a break tonight against Cole. They have scored just eight runs in the last four games and have scored over three runs just one time in their last eight games. I'm laying the 1.5 runs tonight with Houston and maybe the best pitcher in baseball right now. Play Houston -1.5 runs. |
|||||||
05-08-18 | Astros v. A's +119 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 21 h 47 m | Show | |
Oakland and Houston continue their series here tonight. The A's look to Sean Manaea to bounce back after his lackluster performance last week. Manaea had that no-hitter back on April 21st vs the Red Sox. Then he pitched another fine outing, allowing no earned runs to the Astros. Last outing though he took the loss as the Mariners hit him for four earned runs over six innings. Houston will counter with Lance McCullers Jr who is 4-1 on the season with a 3.73 ERA and 1.195 WHIP. McCullers has pitched very well of late, allowing just two earned runs over his last 20 innings. Manaea has pitched way too well this season not to rebound here tonight. Plus we get the A's as a home dog. Take Oakland. |

05-08-18 | Braves v. Rays -121 | 1-0 | Loss | -121 | 18 h 52 m | Show | |
Interleague action tonight as the Tampa Bay Rays host the Atlanta Braves. The Braves have dropped three straight games to 19-14. Atlanta was swept by the Giants, getting outscored 9-24 in the process. Sean Newcomb starts today for the Braves with a 2-1 record in his six starts. He also has a 3.38 ERA and 1.269 WHIP. Tampa Bay took two of their last three from Toronto. The Rays much better of late, evidenced by their recent eight game win streak and their 11-4 record over their last 15 games. Blake Snell gets the start tonight for the Rays and he's pitched very well with a 4-1 record and 2.55 ERA and 0.945 WHIP. In fact, Snell has five quality starts out of his seven and hasn't allowed over two runs in each of his last five starts. I like the Rays tonight. Play Tampa Bay. |
