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

Tampa Bay at Toronto 1:30 ET Blue Jays over Rays- Was it Sir Issac Newton that said what goes up must come down or was it fig newton(sorry about that)but either way Tampa Bay has lost their karma and it might be a while before it returns They will be starting their best Sunday in Shane McClanahan (3-0, 1.59 ERA) and if the most over-rated manager in baseball does his thing he will be out of the game before it even get interesting. After a pair of stellar seasons Alex Manoah (1-0, 4.91) is having trouble finding the plate and has walked 11 in 14.2 innings while his career average was 2.2 entering this season. Rays 3-8 in last 11 road games while the Jays are 8-2 last 10 and 6-1 versus lAL East. Take TORONTO! |

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

04-15-23 | Rays v. Blue Jays -104 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at Toronto 3:07 ET Blue Jays over Rays- It seems that Toronto has unlocked the secret to beating Tampa Bay and that is get them out of the country. The Blue Jays handed the Rays their first loss of the season after a record tying 13 straight wins to open the season. I believe that Tampa is going to use the All-staff in this contest as their listed starter has not pitched more than two innings in any of his four relieve appearances. Toronto will start Yusei Kikuchi (1-0, 6.75 ERA) who is 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA lifetime against the Rays Take TORONTO! |

04-15-23 | Orioles v. White Sox +100 | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Chicago White Sox 7:00 ET Orioles over White Sox- These are not the same Orioles that we have been used to seeing, this young bunch of guys can hit and when their pitching comes up to speed they will become a legitimate treat in they AL East. Saturday they will start Kyle Gibson (3-0, 3.44 ERA) who has received great support from his mates who have scored 22 runs in his three starts. For Chicago Michael Kopech (0-2, 6.75) who has yet to find himself this season gets the nod. Turnabout of fortunes here. Take WHITE SOX! |

04-14-23 | Braves v. Royals +120 | 10-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Kansas City 8:00 ET Royals over Braves- Kansas City is one of the weakest hitting teams in baseball but it is a long season of 162 games and all clubs will have their ups and downs even a weak hitting team like the Royals. Atlanta will send veteran Charlie Morton (1-1, 4.35 ERA) who is 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA lifetime against the Royals. Father time is starting to take its toll on Morton who is not giving up more hits then innings pitched and his strike outs are down over 30%. KC will send Brady Singer (1-0, 4.91) to the mound as he makes his first appearance against the Braves. Royals 1-6 at home and look to change that starting here tonight as they are 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take KANSAS CITY! |

LA Angels at Boston 7:00 ET Angels over Red Sox- Interesting pitching match-up here as Boston will send Tanner Houck (2-0, 4.50 ERA) this season defeating the Orioles and Tigers. His mound opponent will be Patrick Sandoval (1-0, 1.64) has a win over Toronto as the Angels look to win their third straight game. The Red Sox have dropped four in-a-row and are just 2-4 at home as their pitching gives up 5.81 RPG. Boston is 18-39 after a loss. Take LA ANGELS! |

Baltimore at Chicago White Sox 7:00 ET Orioles over White Sox- If you haven’t noticed what is going on in Baltimore it is time to wake up. This clubs has suffered for the past two decades but right now have one the better balanced line-ups tat is producing runs as their average of 5.81 RPG ranking third in MLB. Chicago who is always expected to make a run have been disappointing this year surrendering 6.19 RPG. Mike Clevinger (2-0, 3.48 ERA) starts for the White Sox and he is 4-1 with a 3.69 ERA lifetime against the Orioles. Tyler Wells (0-1, 3.27) who will notch is first win of the season.

Philadelphia at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Redlegs over Phillies- Returning home after a 1-5 road trip Cincinnati will turn to 25-year old No. 1 draft pick Nick Lodolo (1-0, 1.50 ERA) who started against the Phillies last Saturday and he was terrific. In seven full inning he had 12 strikeouts, allowing just three hits and no runs in a no decision appearance. Philadelphia like last season is off to a slow start and can only wait for MVP Bryce Harper to get back in the lineup. Bailey Falter (0-1, 2.61) has thrown five innings in both of his starts while surrendering 11 hits and three runs. Philly is 0-5 on the road in their last five against lefties and are 8-21 in their last 29 games in Cincinnati. Take CINCINNATI! |

San Diego at New York Mets 1:10 ET Padres over Mets- Both of these clubs are favored to win their divisions and most likely are expected to meet for the NL Pennant. New York has run into problems delivering hits when needed most as they are hitting .222 with runners in scoring position. San Diego who has a much firepower at the plate are still waiting for the return of Fernando Tatis who once again is sidelined because he has been a bad boy. The Mets will start Tylor Megill (2-0, 1.64 ERA) who has had a pair of quality starts defeating Miami twice and this time he will face a real offense. The Padres will send Blake Snell (0-1, 7.88) to the hill who has been roughed up twice already by both Atlanta and Colorado. Fortunes change today. Take SAN DIEGO! |

04-11-23 | Brewers -124 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Arizona 9:40 ET Brewers over Diamondbacks- I can not help myself here as once again i am going to play against my personal House Rules...but we all won last time I did it, so it is with confidence and the same applies here. Well, except for my basis toward Milwaukee starter Corbin Burnes (0-1, 9.64 ERA), after having seen him up-close I know how difficult he is to hit against. The Cy Young Award Winner has already walked five in nine+ innings and he is better than that having once started the season with 59 strikeouts before he walked a better. Arizona starter Merrill Kelly (0-1, 3.86) was roughed up by the Dodgers last time out and happens to be up against a determined Burnes. Brewers are 18-8 in the last 26 meetings and D backs are 3-8 following a win. Take MILWAUKEE |

Milwaukee at Arizona 9:40 ET Diamondbacks over Brewers- Off to a quick 7-2 start Milwaukee takes to the road after a 5-1 home stand and will start left-hander Wade Miley (1-0, 0.00) who shut down the Mets on three hits in six innings and no walks or runs. Arizona will start their ace Zac Gallen (0-1, 7.59 ERA) who is win less in two starts and has been rocked for 13 hits and 10 runs in 10.2 innings against the Padres and Dodgers.The trends are not any different as it is all Brewers and no backs but, things change!

Texas at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Cubs over Rangers- Take out the brooms and sweep the Rangers away as they are about to start their season 0-3 on the road after today’s loss. Chicago has no pressure on them as little is expected of the Cubbies this season. Texas has made some off season moves that will certainly help this year and the lone star boys just do not get it done outside the largest mainland state as they are 8-19 in their last 27 games against a right-handed starter and 33-77 on the road against righties. Cubs are 8-2 in their last 10 home games and complete the sweep here, Take CHICAGO CUBS! |

Houston at Minnesota 2:10 ET Astros over Twins- Okay, let us stop the nonsense and get serious and that will be the attitude of the Astros Sunday after losing their first two road game of the season. Houston will send Hunter Brown to the hill and hr picked up two wins in 20 innings of work in 2022 but is still considered a rookie and is 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA in just 4.2 innings of work. Minnesota looking for the home sweep with send Tyler Mahle (1-0, 1.80 ERA) to the mound and if things are right and he is as inconsistent as he has ever been the Astros will will hit Moon shots. Take HOUSTON! |

04-08-23 | Cardinals -135 v. Brewers | Top | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 17 h 34 m | Show |
St. Louis at Milwaukee 8:10 ET Cardinals over Brewers- To me and many others that a close to the situation say that when Jordan Montgomery (1-0, 5.40 ERA) was traded to the Cardinals from the Yankees that it GM Brain Cashman gave away their only left-handed pitcher but one that will prove to be a contender for the Cy Young before his career is done. That broke the locker room mojo and New York still hasn’t recovered and their pitching is a mess. The Brewers will counter with Eric Lauer (1-0, 3.83) who picked up a win against the Cubs last Sunday surrendering six hits in 5+ innings. Second time out he will not be so lucky. The Red Birds are 21-8 on the road against lefties. Take ST.LOUIS! |

04-08-23 | Yankees v. Orioles +125 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
New York Yankees at Baltimore 7:05 ET Orioles over Yankees- It is said that opposites attract and these two starters actually repel from each others performance. New York rookie Jhony Brito (1-0, 0.00 ERA) pitched five shut out innings in his major league debut striking out six and allowing only two hits against the Giants winning 6-0. Baltimore will give the ball to Cole Irvin (0-1, 13.50) who was acquired from Oakland and was bombed by Boston lasting just four inning surrendering eight hits and six runs. But, the Yankees are 7-19 on the road against teams with winning records and are 3-9 in their last 12 games against left-hand throwers. These young Orioles are 1-0 at home an expect to win...Take BALTIMORE! |

Texas at Chicago Cubs 4:05 ET Cubs over Rangers- Well the way I see it, Texas who I believe is much improved opened the season in impressive fashion sweeping the Phillies with three straight wins and then took to the road for the first time Friday and were shutout 2-0 by the Cubs. After winning their first two Chicago lost four in-a-row before Friday and today they will start lefty Justin Steele (0-0, 0.00 ERA) who had eight strikeouts in six inning allowing just three hits and no runs without a decision against Milwaukee last Saturday. Martin Perez (1-0, 1.59) gets the nod for the Rangers and he was hit hard giving up eight hits in 5+ innings against Philadelphia but surrendered just one run. Texas 65-133 the past three years on the road. take the CUBS! |

04-07-23 | Blue Jays v. Angels -115 | 4-3 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 51 m | Show | |
Toronto at LA Angels 9:35 ET Angels over Blue Jays- It isn’t as if the Angels have never seen Chris Bassitt (0-1, 24.30 ERA) who was bombed by St. Louis for 10 hits in 3.1 innings giving up nine earned runs and four home runs. Los Angeles (AL version) looks like a different team winning four of their first six games on the road and this will be their home opener. Toronto who is 4-3 is playing their eighth straight road game and will face Patrick Sandoval (1-0, 1.80 ERA) who had an ERA of 2.91 in 26 games last season Blue Jays are 2-10 in their last 122 games against the AL West and just 3-10 in their last 13 starts against a left-hander.

Houston at Minnesota 4:10 ET Twins over Astros- There is something no so kosher about this game with these tow named starters and with Minnesota being named listed as the favorite over the world series champions. Let me think a minute Sonny Gray the 13-year veteran has never attained the success many believe he should have. Houston will be starting Jose Urquidy who was pounded in his first start surrendering seven hits in four innings in a no decision with two homers hit by the White Sox. This is the Twins are 11-4 in last 15 games as hosts and this is their home opener for 2023 and it will be the Astros first road game of the season. Take MINNESOTA! |

Texas at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Cubs over Rangers- I like the Rangers this season I really do and their 4-2 start is encouraging but this will be their first venture on the road. Veteran Marcus Stroman will start for Chicago and the 10-year veteran is 1-0, 0.00 ERA allowing just three hits in six innings with eight strikeouts in a 4-0 win against Milwaukee. Texas will send newcomer Nathan Eovaldi who received a win in his first outing going five rough innings in a 16-3 romp over the Phillies as he was tagged for three runs and six hits with a couple of walks. Stroman has won his last four start at Wright after going 0-5 with a 7.11 ERA in his first nine start at home as a Cub but as of late he has allowed hits 15 hits in his last four home starts. Eovadli was 0-1 versus Chicago when he was with Miami! Take the CUBS! |

LA Dodgers at Arizona 10:00 ET Diamondbacks over Dodgers- It looks like small ball in Arizona as the Diamondbacks are using speed and basic fundamentals of the game and are winning. They will send Merrill Kelly (0-0, 0.00 ERA) out against the Dodgers are team he has never beaten and is 0-9 lifetime with a 5.84 ERA in 13 career starts. LA will send Dustin May (0-0, 0.00 ERA) who has already worked seven scoreless innings against the D’backs already.

Minnesota at Miami 1:10 ET Marlins over Twins- It is difficult for me to play against any one named Jesus no matter how you pronounce it. It is even more difficult if he is a starting pitcher named Jesus Luzardo who has come into his own as a member of the Marlins. Last season just 69 hits, and in his first start against the Mets (Megabucks Winner) he surrendered just two its in six innings. Minnesota will send former Miami start pitcher Pablo Lopez who opened his season with a win over Kansas City also allowing just two hits in six innings. Home field and being familiar with their opponent a former teammate give the edge to...MIAMI! |

Atlanta at St. Louis 7:45 ET Cardinals over Braves- Early in the baseball season it takes a bit of time to fully realize the movement of players to different clubs. Steven Matz start for St. Louis and the former New York Mets and Blue Jays lefty was 5-3 last season with a 5,25 ERA as her dealt with shoulder issues. He is 6-3 with a 3.42 ERA lifetime against Atlanta. The Braves will start Dylan Dodd who is making his MLB debut and will have to face a deep hitting Cardinals squad. His first experience at this level will not be pleasant. Take ST. LOUIS! |

Arizona at San Diego 9:40 ET Diamondbacks over Padres- This season it seems more people are on the San Diego bandwagon as they continue to add talent into their lineup. This of course raises the price of backing them especially on a daily basis and they started 2-2 splitting a 4-game home series with Colorado dropped the last two games. The Padres will start Ryan Weathers who is 4-7 lifetime and 0-1 against Arizona. The D’backs will start Ryne Nelson the prized prospect who is 1-1 lifetime but has allowed just nine hits in 18 innings. Despite a poor spring he will be ready tonight. Take ARIZONA! |

Toronto at St. Louis 2:30 ET Blue Jays over Cardinals- The Toronto batters have been getting on base but bringing them around to score has been an issue for the Blue Jays. In their opener they scored 10 runs but left 12 men on base and yesterday they fell 4-1 and once again left 12 men on base while going 0-for-11 with men in scoring position. St. Louis will start Jordan Montgomery who was 6-3 with a 3.11 ERA in 11 starts after coming over to the Cardinals from the Yankees in mid season last year. Chris Bassitt (15-9. 3.48) had 32 starts for the Mets last season and gets his first win for the Jays today. Take TORONTO! |

San Francisco at New York Yankees 4:05 ET Giants over Yankees- It is only the second game of the season and the Yankees already have a substitute starter in their rotation as Clarke Schmidt takes the hill for the Bronx Bombers in place of Carlos Rodon. San Francisco will counter with Alex Cobb who was 7-8 with a 3.77 ERA in 28 starts. While with Baltimore he had 18 starts against New York and is 7-5 with a 3.21 ERA. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Arizona at LA Dodgers 10:10 ET Diamondbacks over Dodgers- There are many that believe the Dodgers are ready to fall in the NL West as the competition has revved up and can dethrone the division champs. Well, Los Angeles has already put the rest of the NL on notice as they are still here by taking their season opener 8-2 over Arizona. Now, the Diamond backs are supposed to be much improved and they do have some young talent holdovers from last season. Merrill Kelly was 13-8 with a 3.37 ERA on one of the worst teams in baseball last season allowing just 167 hit in over 200 innings. They are worth a shot at this price tonight. Take ARIZONA! |

Mets ace Max Scherzer picked up the win as the they rallied late to win. Miami is team of unknowns once again and once again they have talent nobody has heard of as of yet. Tonight’s starter for the Marlins is Jesus Luzardo who was just 4-07 last season threw to a 3.32 ERA, but get this! In 100.3 innings he surrendered just 69 hits with 120 strikeouts. Do the MATH!

Philadelphia like most pennant winners lose at lot during the off-season as as talent leaving for greener pastures and your star Bryce Harper is laid-up. Rangers went through some changes and it looks like they are trying to contend. How far they let deGrom pitch is my main concern. Take TEXAS! |

Philadelphia at Houston 8:03 ET Astros over Phillies- Turn out the lights sweet darling the party’s over as Ole Dandy Don used to say and they fought the good fight but the Phillies really needed to win Game 5. We have all seen how Houston’s pitching can and has dominated the last two games and totally during the regular season with MLB’s lowest team ERA. Houston does not need to hit five homers to win all it needs is for Framber Valdez (2-0, 1.42 ERA post-season) to continue to as he has all season. Philly will throw out Zack Wheeler (1-2, 2.67) and the former Met has been excellent in the post-season but the Phillies bats at .174 for the series fall short. Take HOUSTON! |

He has 18 post-season victories but now have come in the WS where he is 0-6 in eight starts with a 6.07 ERA the worst record for anyone with 30 innings pitched and that includes blowing Game 1’s 5-run lead.

Houston at Philadelphia 8:00 ET Astros over Phillies- Mattress Matt with his Houston wager where he stands to collect the $72.4 million that will be due him if the Astros win the World Series. The local furniture mogul has invested $11.4 million this season on futures and is down over $16 million entering the season after a decade of wagering huge clumps of cash. So, how does that affect this game I don’t know but I’m looking to bounce back with Matt and the Astros here. I really am an Aaron Nola fan but it look like the Stros have his number as he has surrendered 11 runs in his last two starts covering nine innings. Christian Javier is 1-0, with a 1.35 postseason ERA will short out the Philly power serge. Take HOUSTON! |

Houston will counter will Lance McCullars who last World Series start was Game 7 in 2017 against the Dodgers.

Philadelphia at Houston 8:00 ET Phillies over Astros- Something is going on with this Philadelphia club and karma is a difficult thing to overcome. Zack Wheeler (12-7, 2.82, postseason 1-1 1.78) has been outstanding in the playoffs and can keep the Houston bats from getting hot. Framber Valdez (17-6, 2.82 ERA, Post season 1-0, 1.42) has had a great year but Dusty Baker has put pressure in him and his World Series record is 0-2 with a 19.29 ERA as he was bombed twice in two appearances.

Philadelphia at Houston 8:05 ET Phillies over Astros- This is so hard to do, playing against the highest seeded team in the MLB playoffs who are at home against the playoffs lowest seed. To compound that, a future Hall of Fame hurler Justin Verlander will get the nod for a Houston. Philadelphia will send their most consistent starter in the playoffs to the hill in Aaron Nola who was in the mound in the Phillies clinching game against the Stroes. Now, here a bit that I found unbelievable...Verlander is 0-6 with a 5.68 ERA in seven career World Series starts and he hasn’t been such a prize this post season either but getting great support with a 6.30 ERA. Nola’s post season record is 2-1, 3.12 ERA and he’s throwing with confidence while Houston is 1-6 in their last seven World Series home games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Arizona at Kansas City 8:10 ET Diamondbacks over Royals- Maybe Arizona isn't as bad as I thought as the bookmakers think enough of them to make them favorites on the road, be it against the Royals. Zach Davies (2-4, 3.99 ERA) gets the nod for Arizona and he hasn't won since May 13 a span of 12 straight starts. Doesn't it seem a bit strange that he would be favored on the road. But, ahhh...now we see and for good reason as Kansas City is starting Jonathan Heasley (1-7, 5.61) and he has surrendered 66 hits in 61 innings with only 46 K's along with 13 homers and six wild pitches. Take ARIZONA! |
