Jeff Samardzija (1-7, 4.63 ERA) of the Giants never realized that he would get 'hit' harder in big League baseball then he would in the NFL as a receiver. He finished May 1-3 but had a 3.32 ERA while striking out 49 and walking only one! Milwaukee will start 32-year old Junior Guerra (1-0, 1.84) who has no record against the Giants who are 14-3 in the last 17 meetings against the Brewers. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

06-03-17 | Twins v. Angels -103 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 13 h 45 m | Show |
Minnesota at L.A. Angels 10:05 ET Angels over Twins- The 'numbers' for Minnesota's Ervin Santana (7-2, 1.75 ERA) are scary as he has allowed just 36 hits in 77 innings. Now, think about that he has allowed less the one-hit for every two innings pitched. My first thought is why is Santana an underdog here even though he is just 2-3 lifetime against the Angels as he has been so dominate. Los Angeles will start Matt Shoemaker (403, 4.26) who has also surrendered less hits then innings pitched and he is off his shortest outing of the season a loss to Miami. Turn-about here...Take the ANGELS! |

06-03-17 | Red Sox -118 v. Orioles | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
Boston at Baltimore 7:15 ET Red Sox over Orioles- Boston's David Price (0-0, 5.40 ERA) started the season on the disabled list and has had one start this season when he allowed three runs on just two hits against the White Sox Monday. It seems odd to me that the Red Sox are the favorite as Dylan Bundy (6-3, 2.89) has been outstanding allowing just 62 hits in 72 innings and is 2-1 lifetime against Boston. The difference may be that Price was 3-1 in five starts against the Orioles last season and is 11-5 lifetime with a 2.88 ERA. Take BOSTON! |

New York will start Jordan Montgomery (2-4, 4.11 ERA) who had a great spring and then was sent down to the minors has dropped his last three starts since being called up to the 'Bigs.'

Arizona at Miami 7:10 ET Marlins over Diamondbacks- Surprising Arizona has won three straight and 13 of 17 and are now tied with Colorado for the top spot in the NL West. The D'Backs have done it for the most part with an explosive offense as they average just under five runs per game. Miami has struggled this season especially at home winning just 10 of their 25 as hosts. Arizona's weak link will be on the mound as Patrick Corbin (4-5, 5.14 ERA) who has allowed 27 hits in his last three starts in just 16 innings. Miami starter Jose Urena (3-2, 3.14) has allowed just 38 hits in 43 innings and will get it done tonight. Take MIAMI! |

Jerad Eickhoff (0-5, 4.74 ERA) seeks his first win of the season as his mates have given him very little support scoring just 3.3 runs per start. This time out he gets his first victory. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

New York will start Masahiro Tanaka (5-4, 5.86 ERA) who has struggled mightily on the road and is 0-3 in his last three starts surrendering 21 hits in 12 innings including six homers. Baltimore's starter Kevin Gausman (2-4, 6.17) has been even worst then Tanaka as he has surrendered 27 hits in his last 16 innings and has a 1.88 WHIP on the season.

Washington's Gio Gonzalez (3-1, 2.90) is winless in five May starts and has pitched six innings or less in four of those outings. In a surprise...take the GIANTS! |

Detroit will start Daniel Norris (2-3, 4.38 ERA) who has surrendered 57 hits in 49 innings with a WHIP of 1.62.

The trouble for Harvey is that he has lost 5-7 MPH on his fast ball since his meteoric rise in 2013 when he started the All-Star game at Citi-Field. Pittsburgh will start Tyler Glasnow (2-3, 6.69) who has no record against New York and has allowed 52 hits in just 40 innings of work with a 1.93 WHIP in 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA at home. Take the METS! |

The Marlins are just 3-13 in their last 16 home games and will start Jose Urena (2-2. 3.08 ERA) who has never faced the Angels. Since moving from the bullpen into the starting rotation Urena has worked at least five innings in each of his starts but is off his roughest outing of the season. I expect him and Miami to bounce-back today. Take the MARLINS! |

Texas at Houston 8:10 ET Astros over Rangers- Houston is off to a great start (17-9) and has dominated the AL West winning 13 of 17 match-ups. Much of their damage has been done at home where they are 10-5 and are 3-1 on their current home stand whereas their opponent tonight the Texas Rangers have struggled on the road winning just 3-of-10. Cole Hamels (2-0, 3.03 ERA) the Rangers starter may be unbeaten but his numbers show a huge drop-off in one critical area. Hamels has only 15 strikeouts in 33 innings after having 200 K's in 200 innings last season. Mike Fiers (0-1, 5.12) is favored over Hamels and is 0-1 with a 6.23 and that just does not make sense...Take HOUSTON! |

New York will start Robert Gsellman (0-2, 6.23 ERA) who had a great spring exhibition but has fell flat in the 'Big Show' so far. His mound opponent tonight Julio Teheran (2-1, 3.38) has already defeated Gsellman and the Mets on April 3rd. Coming off Sunday's 23-5 beating the Mets will look to wipe away that embarrassment.

Benches were cleared and pitchers suspended and now it continues. The Orioles might be without their main power source as Chris Davis who has missed the past two games and is day-to-day. Rock Porcello (1-3, 4.75 ERA) who led MLB in wins (22) last season and in the CY Young Award holder has struggled against the O's (4-8, 4.88 lifetime) but is ready to win tonight. Take BOSTON! |

Yet, Tampa Bay opens the favorite here on the road where they are just 3-9 on the season and this really seems a bit out of line. Chris Archer (2-1, 3.94) gets the start for Tampa and he is 6-4 with a 3.77 ERA lifetime against Toronto. It's doesn't make sense to me...Take TAMPA BAY! |

Chicago Cubs at Boston 4:05 ET Cubs over Red Sox- Both these clubs were the odds-on favorites to win their respective leagues and are off to identical slow starts at 10-12. This inter-league contest has national interest, not only the history of these two clubs who in a part are the fabric of baseball (playing in the two oldest stadiums Wrigley Field and Fenway Park). Speaking of old the Cubs will start veteran right-hander John Lackey (1-3, 4.88 ERA) while the Red Sox will send struggling Steven Wright (1-2, 8.66). Inter-league play has made this match-up possible and Boston has taken advantage the Senior Circuit winning nine straight at home and 18 of 20 in Fenway. This won't matter today as Lackey has posted 18 career wins against Boston. Take the CUBS! |

Atlanta at Milwaukee 8:10 ET Braves over Brewers- Streaks are the name of the game and so far few have been as streaky as the Braves. Atlanta is on a current two-game win streak after losing their previous six and have three streaks winning or losing five games or more. The Brewers of course boast MLB's biggest surprise of the young season in Eric Thames who already has 11 homers while hitting .370 and will send Chase Anderson (2-0, 1.13 ERA) to the mound who is 2-0 with a 2.92 ERA lifetime against Atlanta.

N.Y.

Oakland at L.A.

Here we have a pair of teams streaking in opposite directions as the Angels have won their last three while Oakland has dropped their last three. One streak that was ended by injury happened to A's starting pitcher Kendall Graveman (2-0, 2.00 ERA) returns from the disabled list and has possibly mis-placed his 'mojo.'

Well, we all know what happens after that...Giants immediately score to tie the game and then hand 'us' a loss in extra innings. Let it be know I hate repeating with a 'loser' but Los Angeles is starting the young phenom Julio Urias who was 5-2 with a 3.39 ERA last season with an appearance in the playoffs and his mound opponent is Matt Moore (1-3, 5.87 ERA) and he has allowed 30 hits in just 23 innings.

Hellickson has been virtually un-hittable as he has surrendered only 14 hits in 24 innings and an unbelievable 0.71 WHIP and is 3-1 lifetime against Miami. The Marlins will counter with winless Edinson Volquez (0-2, 4.82) who has had little run support in his starts but he is 4-1 lifetime against Philadelphia and is 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA at Citizens Park including a shut-out.

Granted, it is a long season but with Madison Bumgarner out for about two months and Dexter Posey being forced into outfield duty because of a beaning on Opening Day San Francisco may not be able to get back into the race. The Dodgers managed a 2-1 win over the light-hitting Jinx Tuesday and will have Alex Wood (1-0, 3.29 ERA) starting tonight against Johnny Cueto (3-1, 5.25) who is 5-6 with a 2.74 ERA lifetime against L.A..

Seattle at Detroit 7:10 ET Mariners over Tigers- 'Holy, don't make sense Batman' is how is see this contest. I'll lay it out as best as I can. The Seattle Mariners who gave up 19 runs in Tuesday's loss to the Tigers in Detroit are just 2-10 on the road and find themselves the favorite where this home team is leading the AL Central and are 6-2 at home. The part that can sway me is that Seattle starter James Paxton (2-0, 1.78 ERA) has been outstanding to date. He has allowed just 17 hits in over 25.1 innings and throws to a WHIP of 0.87. Despite scoring 19 runs and getting 24 hits the Tigers were without Miguel Cabrera but will have problems with Paxton tonight. Take SEATTLE! |
