Houston at Oakland 9:10 ET A's over Astros- Oakland is riding a season high six-game winning streak (not that there has been any time for there have been another) and are always under-rated. Chris Bassitt (1-0, 0.90 ERA) gets the start for the A's while Zack Grienke (0-0, 5.00) gets the nod for Houston. How 'bout this...Astros are 5-0 in first game of series with Grienke and Oakland is 5-0 in Bassitt's last five starts. I'll side with the home team as Houston plays their 7th straight on the road. No signs here! Take the ATHLETICS! Thank you and Good luck! |

08-07-20 | Yankees v. Rays -102 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
New York Yankees at Tampa Bay 6:40 ET Rays over Yankees- Honestly now, you didn't expect the Yankees to going 59-1 did you...well what a thought but is could never be if you have a player named Gary Sanchez playing as Brain Cashman tries to justify his presence. Okay enough about them, Blake Snell (0-00, 5.40 ERA) get the start for the Rays and he hasn't been anything close to his Cy Young award winning season even since. New York will start the headache in their rotation Masahiro Tanaka (0-0, 3.38) whose stuff is so nasty that Sanchez can't catch it and that is the down fall. Tanaka can't throw certain pitches in clutch situations because of catching issues. Take TAMPA BAY! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Houston at Arizona 9:10 ET Astros over Diamondbacks- Madison Bumgarner (0-1, 4.09 ERA) now with Arizona has yet to show his prior form as he has struggled with his 'new' club yet to throw a fastball at 90 MPH. Houston will send Cristian Javier (0-0, 1.35 ERA) to the mound for his second career start after holding the Dodgers to one run and two hits in his first big league start last Wednesday. Houston has had its way against left-handers going 40-12 against them in the last 52 starts. State wise Arizona just doesn't match up as they are just 2-6 in their last eight games at home as underdogs. Take HOUSTON! Thank you and Good luck! |

White Sox over Brewers- Chicago has started the season with lively bats as they are 6-4 on the season and will be starting one of last year's surprise Lucas Giolito (0-1, 6.52 ERA) who bounced back after a poor opening outing to shutting out the Indians for six innings. The White Sox have won five straight and are 5-1 in their last six games in Milwaukee while the Brewers are 2-6 in their blast eight against right handed starters and 3-8 in their last 11 games overall.

Cleveland at Cincinnati 6:10 ET Reds over Indians- Both of these clubs are streaking in different directions. Cleveland has dropped four straight while Cincinnati has won their last three including yesterday's 3-2 Megabucks win. Indians starter Shane Bieber (2-0, 0.00) has been almost hittable allowing no runs and 27 strikeouts in his pair of starts posting two wins. The Reds win yesterday was there first against the Tribe at home in seven tries and I expect the change in that trend to continue today. Take CINCINNATI! Thank you and Good luck! |

08-03-20 | White Sox -103 v. Brewers | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Chicago White Sox at Milwaukee 8:10 ET White Sox over Brewers- Taking five days off when you only have a 60-game schedule can end up being very taxing before it is all over. Milwaukee will get back on the field for the first time since last Wednesday through no of their own but rather because a few Cardinals flew-the-coop and tested positive. It seems a bit strange to me that the Brewers and White Sox would be a virtual pick'em in Milwaukee especially when you see what Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (0-1, 12.27 ERA) did his first time out. Brew Crew outfield hurting as Cain and now Braun are out and Yelich is just 1-for-23. Take CHICAGO WHITE SOX! Thank you and Good Luck! |

08-03-20 | Indians v. Reds -133 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Cleveland at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Reds over Indians- I love this game for a number of reasons including the pitching matchup. Sonny Gray (2-0, 0.71 ERA) has a record of 35 consecutive starts of allowing six hits or fewer and he has been outstanding in 2020 with 20 K's in just 12.2 innings work. The downer for Cincinnati is that they have lost 10 of 11 at home to the Indians but the Tribe are 8-22 as an underdog on the road. Take CINCINNATI! Thank you and Good Luck! |

New York Mets at Atlanta 7:10 ET Mets over Braves- Okay, here we go again! Jacob 'Cy' deGrom (0-0, 1.64 ERA) who may win the Cy Young award again without a win if the Mets don't put up some runs for him. This is a rematch of Opening day as Mike Soroka (0-0, 1.59) who is 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA lifetime against New York while deGrom is 5-4 with an ERA of 2.30 against the Braves. The mets won the opener 1-0 when deserter and escaped refugee Cespedes homered. Mets have lost five straight and Atlanta has won five in-a-row that changes tonight. Take NEW YORK METS! |

San Diego at Colorado 3:10 ET Padres over Rockies- San Diego comes up the favorite at Colorado for the third straight game and will be sending Zach Davies (1-0, 3.60 ERA) to the mound and he had a decent debut with the Padres as he held Milwaukee to just two runs in 5.2 inning his his first start. He is 2-1 with a 3.48 ERA in four career starts against Colorado. The Rockies will start Antonio Senzatela (1-0, 3.60) who has struggled at Coors Field where his ERA last season was 11.10.

Chicago White Sox at Kansas City 2:05 ET White Sox over Royals- Today we get a chance to see if then COVID-19 virus has an affect on players stamina after recovering from the pandemic. Kansas City starter Jakob Junis (9-14, 5.24 ERA) contacted the virus is early summer and is 3-2 with a 5.10 ERA lifetime against Chicago. The White Sox will send Dylan Cease (0-1, 15.43) who got roughed up in his first start at Cleveland surrendering four runs in 2.1 innings. He is 0-1 lifetime against the royals and looks to pic k up his first career win against them today. Take CHICAGO! |

New York Mets at Atlanta 1:10 ET Mets over Braves- Starters for both clubs were first-round draft choices in 2017 and have made one appearance this season. New York's David Peterson (1-0, 3.18 ERA) was impressive in his debut surrendering just two runs in six innings at Fenway Park. Atlanta's starter Kyle Wright (0-1, 16.88) gave up five runs in just 2.2 innings against Tampa Bay and will most likely fall here. Take NEW YORK! |

San Diego at Colorado 8:10 ET Padres over Rockies- Every year it happens and I hope it happens here when you get an also ran like San Diego that catches fire early and takes down decent teams day after day. Would that be case then we take the Padres for the third straight time in Colorado. This really has nothing to do with who's pitching (although it always is nice),but a team has an aura when they are playing well and good things happen, coming from behind with 4-runs in the ninth is a great example. Also, on the other side the Rockies blew their home opener and may be a little dejected and should have trouble getting where they need to be mentally. Take SAN DIEGO! |

08-01-20 | Astros v. Angels +151 | 4-5 | Win | 151 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Houston at L.A. Angels 7:07 ET Angels over Astros- Los Angeles make some off season moves and with Mike Trout on the squad they are always considered a contender although they rarely play like one. The Angels have won just two of their first eight games and with this short season they could soon be out of the race for the playoffs. Today, they will start Griffin Canning (0-1, 5.79 ERA) who had seven K's in 4.2 innings in his first outing while Houston will start former Cy Young winner Zack Greinke (0-0, 8.10) who has seen his better days in the rear view mirror. Take the L.A. ANGELS! |

Chicago White Sox at Kansas City 7:05 White Sox over Royals- I don't who's the home team as I am not sure where this game is even being played (Kansas City) because now a days where you play does not mean that you 'bat' second. Gio Gonzalez (0-0, 14.75 ERA) was pounded in his first start against the Twins and yet he opens that favorite on the road here. Chicago has had little success against the Royals winning just two of the last eight meetings and yet they are favored. The 'price' gives me the WHITE SOX! Thank you and Good Luck! |

San Diego at Colorado 8:10 ET Padres over Rockies- Colorado dropped their opening game getting shutout 1-0 but have comeback with four straight wins while the Padres have surprised many by winning five of their first seven encounters. San Diego has won back-back series to open the season for the first time in 13 years and currently have the best ERA among starters in the NL at 2.07. The pitching match-up today should be a good one as the Rockies Jon Gray (0-0, 1.93 ERA) is 10-4 with a 2.97 ERA lifetime against San Diego and Garrett Richards (0-0, 0.00) who is back after missing almost all of 2019. Tough call but Gray should be a heavier favorite at Home and it looks as though the odds makers lean toward the Padres...so will I Take SAN DIEGO! Thank you and Good Luck! |

New York at Atlanta 7:10 ET Braves over Mets- Atlanta got off to a poor start by dropping their first two game at Tampa Bay but have rebounded well by winning 4-of-5. New York has been as inconsistent as every as there hitting has failed in the clutch and their relief pitching still with Edwin Diaz in a disaster. The Mets will start Rick Porcello (0-1, 27.00 ERA) an although he has had some success he is very hittable and his mound opponent tonight is Sean Newcomb (0-0, 2.70) who has had control problems his entire career. But, it's the Braves that are playing well and facing a washed up broken down hurler. Take ATLANTA. Thank you and Good luck! |

Boston at New York Mets 7:07 ET Mets over Red Sox- Steven Matz is looking to have a little better aid from his mates this time around and he show get it as the Mets took the day off at the plate yesterday as Jacob deGrom got his usual poor run support. Steven Metz (0-0, 1.50 ERA) had it all in his opener against Atlanta only to had the Mets weak link Edwin Diaz blow the 1-0 lead with two-out in the ninth. This time it won't matter as New York like playing behind Metz at home where they were 8-2 at city field after the All-star break with Metz turning in a 2.31 ERA. Take the M-E-T-S!

Arizona at Texas 4:05 ET Rangers over Diamondbacks- These two bottom feeders should be happy that they are scheduled to play each other as is assures one of them a win. Both clubs are offensively challenged but will have their 'aces' going to the hill today. Arizona will start Madison Bumgarner (0-1, 4.76 ERA) who's better days are behind him as he pitches for the weakest team of his career. The Rangers will start Lance Lynn (1-0, 0.00) who threw six shutout innings against Colorado to open the season. He is 6-1 lifetime against Arizona with a 3.22 ERA and picks up another win here.

L.A. Dodgers at Houston 9:10 ET Astros over Dodgers- It is said that winning in baseball is 90% pitching and that may have been true in days gone bye. But, in today's game where the starting pitcher last maybe five innings or less and that 90% theory doesn't fly. Los Angeles will start hard throwing Walker Buehler (14-4, 3.26 ERA) while the Astros will used converted reliever Famber Valdez who had a terrible WHIP of 1.67 last season will rely on his teammates. They last time these two clubs met Houston won 2-of-3 and outscored the Dodgers 18-4. It pays to know what pitch is coming. Take the ASTROS! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Atlanta at Tampa Bay 6:40 ET Rays over Braves- Two clubs that will most likely make the MLB Playoffs but with the expanded format they should qualify without much difficulty. Atlanta will start Mike Foltynewicz who two years ago was outstanding and last season was such a disappointment that he was sent back to the minors before returning to a 6-1 2.65 ERA in 10 starts after returning to the 'Bigs'. Tampa Bay will start Tyler Glasnow (6-1, 1.78 ERA) who missed almost four months in 2019 with a forearm strain. Foltynewicz is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA against the Rays so...take TAMPA BAY!

Arizona is 2-5 in their last seven games in San Diego, 2-6 in their last eight overall on the road and 0-5 in their last five as road underdogs. The Padres are 5-1 as home favorites. Although it would seem that the D'backs might have the edge with Madison Bumgarner on the mound but he's under the pressure of throwing for a 'new' club and these trends exist for a reason.

Minnesota will start hard throwing Jose Berrios (8-4, 3.68 ERA) and the Twins have had their way against the Pale Hose at home but not so much in the Windy City.

Washington at Houston 8:08 ET Nationals over Astros- Ain't this a blast! Major League Baseball will play their version of a 'Super Bowl' with a winner take all Game 7 in the World Series. I find few things as exciting as this 'Game 7' except of course for the Super Bowl itself. Pitching, pitching whose pitching for whom, and how long with they last. I would suspect that it will be Max Scherzer for the Nationals and Houston will counter with Zack Greinke with a very short leash. If you want to play by the 'numbers', Max has been superior both during the regular season and the playoffs as well going 3-0 in 19 innings surrendering only 10 hits with a 1.42 ERA. Believe it or not but Washington is 11-1 in the last 12 meetings in Houston and 22-8 overall in the last 30 meetings. Still, the thing that bothers me here is that when push comes to shove the Nationals look too easy to resist, so...Take the ASTROS! |

His mound opponent tonight is Stephen Strasburg is 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in the postseason with 33 K's in 22 innings. This is where the turn-around must take place...take HOUSTON! |

Washington at Houston 8:08 ET Astros over Nationals- Although I believe that Washington has a decent shot at winning the Series I just don't get how anyone is going to hit Houston's Gerrit Cole who has allowed just one run in 22.2 innings while striking out 32 in three postseason starts. Nationals starter Max Scherzer has been almost as effective going 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in the playoffs and took a no-hitter into the 7th inning against the Cardinals and has allowed just one run in 20 postseason innings. Although the under may look like a side I'll lay it with the home team. Take HOUSTON! |

Houston at New York Yankees 8:05 ET Yankees over Astros- I have said all season that the Yankees with all their big power hitters and 'free' swingers are not built for the playoffs, as good pitching beats good hitting. When it comes to 'good' pitching Houston has a major advantage with their future Hall of Fame aces Verlander and Cole. Lucky for New York tonight neither of those hurlers will be on the mound as both clubs are going to their Game 1 starters. That gives the Yankees the edge here and they take advantage with Tanaka over Greinke. The deeper these teams go into their pitching staff the better opportunity for the Yankees hitters and their stronger bullpen will prevail. Take NEW YORK! |

I just never felt that New York's big free swingers at the plate would struggle against top quality playoff hurlers like Justin Verlander. Houston has had their way at home against the Yankees winning 10 of the 14 meetings here and 40 of 53 with 19 of the last 28 meetings in Houston staying UNDER the total.

Tampa Bay at Houston 7:07 ET Rays over Astros- Hey, why not! Think about it, they have all the momentum in the world and have proven they know how to win 'big' games. Of course there is a reason that you are 'double-your-money' and that is of course Gerrit Cole who dominated Tampa Bay in Game 2 striking out 15 in 7 2/3 innings allowing just four scratch hits and he is 12-2 2.63 ERA at home this season. Tyler Glasnow had four strong innings starting Game 1 then then a walk and a two-run Altuve homer ended his day. Trends can go both ways with the Rays 23-10 in their last 33 and the Astros 39-12 in their last 51 home games but the 'price' has been driven too high. A win here would make 100 on the year for the Rays and their 50th on the road. AH what the heck...shit happens! Take TAMPA BAY! |

The home Braves are in the deciding Division series game and is just barely a pick-em. They will send Mike Foltynewicz (8-6, 4.54 ERA) who is 1-0 in the playoffs after getting the best of St Louis starter Jack Flaherty (11-8, 2.75). When looking at these two clubs I see a hard chiseled fundamental sound team in the Cardinals and a club that isn't quite sure of themselves and haven't won a playoff series since 2001 NCLS. Take ST.
