05-03-24 | Blue Jays -1.5 v. Nationals | Top | 3-9 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
5* INTERLEAGUE RUNLINE OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Washington Nationals have been shut out in two of their last three games, and they scored one run in the one they didn't. They're batting .212 while averaging 3.8 R/9 vs. left-handers and here they'll run into Toronto left-hander Yusei Kikuchi who is 2-1 with a 3.50 ERA in his last three starts. Nats left-hander Patrick Corbin is 0-1 with a 5.17 ERA in his last three starts and the team has lost four of his last five starts. 5* PLAY ON THE BLUE JAYS -1½. |

04-26-24 | Nationals +1.5 v. Marlins | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER I can't believe that the bookmakers have made the 6-20 Miami Marlins this big of a favorite over the 10-14 Washington Natinonals. Additionally, Miami right-hander Jesus Luzardo (0-2, 6.58 ERA) is 1-2 with a 5.52 ERA in six career starts vs. Washington who counters with right-hander Trevor Williams who is 2-0 with a solid 2.91 ERA in 2024. 3* PLAY ON THE NATIONALS +1.5. |

04-25-24 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Nationals | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 14 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* MLB RUNLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Dodgers are off to a fairly slow 14-11 start, but they're coming into this game riding a three-game winning streak, including 4-1 and 11-2 wins over the Washington Nationals. I expect another easy Dodgers win in the finale of this three-game series. The Nationals hand the ball to left-hander MacKenzie Gore (2-1, 3.60 ERA) who was tagged with four runs on six hits over four innings when he faced the Dodgers last year. The Dodgers counter with rookie right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-1, 4.50 ERA), who has been a strikeout machine with 30 Ks over 22 innings. The Dodgers have lost four of his five starts, but I think that'll make them more motivated to step up for him today. 4* PLAY ON THE DODGERS -1.5. |
|||||||
04-15-24 | Angels +1.5 v. Rays | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 39 m | Show |
5* AL RUNLINE OF THE WEEK MAX BET Tampa Bay right-hander Zach Eflin has allowed 6, 1 and 5 runs through his first three starts of the season. With such inconsistency, I don't think the Rays should be this big of a favorite with Eflin on the mound, and without a reliable bullpen to back him up. The Rays relievers have a combined ERA of 6.23, which is dead last across the major leagues. 5* PLAY ON THE ANGELS +1.5. |
|||||||
04-15-24 | Twins +1.5 v. Orioles | 4-7 | Loss | -152 | 16 h 25 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER Twins right-hander Louie Varland (0-2, 9.00 ERA) has had a rough start to the year, but so has Baltimore left-hander Cole Irvin (0-1, 8.10 ERA) as well. The Orioles are a better ream, but I think the Twins can keep this close. 3* PLAY ON THE TWINS. |

04-14-24 | Padres +1.5 v. Dodgers | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUNDAY NIGHT PADRES/DODGERS MLB BOOKIE BU$TER Padres right-hander Yu Darvish has a 2-2 record with an impressive ERA of 2.13 and 44 strikeouts in 7 starts versus the Dodgers since the start of the 2022 season. Dodgers left-hander James Paxton has allowed only two runs over 11 innings on the season but the Padres are averaging a healthy 5.3 R9 against left-handers for the season. The Padres are 4-2 against the runline as underdogs. 3* PLAY ON THE PADRES +1.5. |

04-10-24 | Nationals v. Giants -1.5 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 106 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Washington Nationals are coming off three straight wins as +137, +193 and +174 underdogs. There's no way they can keep the upsets coming like this, and tonight they'll face a San Francisco Giants team desperate for a win and looking to deny the Nats to sweep the three-game series. Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin has allowed eight runs over 10 1/3 innings in two starts on the season, while Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks has allowed just one earned run over his 12 innings on the mound. Additionally, note that Corbin has lost his past two starts against the Giants while allowing 15 hits and 10 runs over just 7 2/3 frames. 4* PLAY ON THE GIANTS -1.5. |
|||||||
03-28-24 | Nationals +1.5 v. Reds | 2-8 | Loss | -151 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Cincinnati Reds are coming into the season aiming for a playoff run, but I don't think a win will come easy against a Washington Nationals team with Josiah Gray on the mound. Last season, the Nats went 18-10 against the runline as underdogs with Gray as the starter, and he has a 3.27 ERA in two career starts against the Reds. 3* PLAY ON THE NATIONALS +1.5. |

Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly was 8-3 with a 3.79 ERA and a 10-6 team record in 16 road starts on the season. Arizona is 15-14 SU as a road underdog of +125 to +175 in 2023. 3* PLAY ON ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS +1.5. |

Mike's MLB Runline Ripper Nats left-hander Patrick Corbin has allowed five runs or more in three of his last five starts. He has a 6.16 ERA in his last seven starts, and here he'll face a Baltimore team that is averaging 5.7 runs per nine innings against left-handers. The Orioles are 34-17 SU and 30-21 against the RL against left-handers. 3* play on Baltimore Orioles -1.5. |

09-13-23 | A's v. Astros -1.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 16 m | Show | |
Mike's MLB Runline Ripper The Astros should be embarrassed after losing the first two games of this series, and I expect them to show up and really put a beating on the A's tonight. Houston right-hander Hunter Brown is 1-0 with a 2.37 ERA through three starts against Oakland on the season. Bet on the Astros -1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |
|||||||
09-13-23 | Cardinals v. Orioles -1.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
Mike's MLB Runline Reaper This looks like a good spot to back Baltimore to snap back from a 5-2 loss to the Cards last night. Cardinals left-hander Drew Rom has only four career starts under his belt. He is 0-2 with a 7.79 ERA and a 1-3 team record in those starts. Baltimore has owned left-handers all season. They are 34-16 SU and 30-20 against the runline against a left-handed starter. Bet on the Orioles -1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |

Mike's 4* MLB Runline Game of the Week TOP PLAY The Astros are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings and they'll come into this game with a chip on their shoulder after losing hte opener of the series 4-0 on Monday. Oakland left-hander JP Sears has allowed only one run over his last two starts, but he has allowed seven runs over 11 2/3 innings against the Astros this season. Houston counter with right-hander Justin Verlander who has blanked Oakland in his last two meetings with the A's. Bet this TOP PLAY on the Astros -1.5 with 4% of your bankroll. |

5* AL Runline GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET The Orioles are perfect 7-0 SU and against the runline when facing a left-hander as road favorites. The Angels are slumping, coming into this game 1-7 in their last eight games, and left-hander Reid Detmers is 1-4 (2-5 team record) with a 6.68 ERA over his last seven starts. Bet this MAX BET on the Orioles -1.5 with 5% of your bankroll. |

09-05-23 | Tigers +1.5 v. Yankees | 1-5 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
Mike's MLB Runline Ripper The Tigers are 30-24 against the runline as road underdogs, the Yankees are 23-30 against the runline as home favorites. Sure, the Yankees have a big edge on the mound with Gerrit Cole vs Alex Faedo, but note that the Yankees are only 5-5 in Cole's last 10 starts. Bet on the Tigers +1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |

08-28-23 | Padres -1.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
4* MLB TOP PLAY - Mike's Runline Play of the Day The Padres have won only two of their last eight games, but I like them to bounce back with a strong outing here after taking a 10-6 loss at Milwaukee yesterday. Padres left-hander Blake Snell is 4-2 with a 2.77 ERA over his last seven starts. The Padres won five of those seven games. Snell is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.80 and 26 strikeouts in three starts versus the Cardinals in his career. The Cardinals are much like the Padres going through a rough stretch, with only two wins in their last 10 games. Unlike Snell though, Cards starter Adam Wainwright has been lit up lately, going 0-6 with a 10.55 ERA over his last seven starts. Wainwright has a 0-2 record with an ERA of 4.70 in four starts versus the Padres since the start of the 2021 season. Bet this TOP PLAY on the Padres -1.5 with 4% of your bankroll. |

Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish has a 2.18 ERA in nine home starts (6-3 team record) this season. Oakland left-hander JP Sears has a 4.75 ERA in 10 home starts (2-8 team record).

The Royals are 13-33 SU and 18-28 against the RL as a road underdog of +150 or more. The Cubs are 9-1 SU in left-hander Justin Steele's last 10 starts.

Mike's MLB Runline Ripper The Nats are coming into this series on a 5-1 hot streak, but I think they're in for a tough one here against Philadelphia and Michael Lorenzen who tossed a no-hitter against the Nationals last week. Over his past six starts, Lorenzen is 5-1 with a 1.11 ERA. The Nats hand the ball to right-hander Joan Adon who is 1-0 with a 5.14 ERA on the season. He faced the Phillies twice last year and went 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA. Bet on the Phillies -1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |

Mike's MLB Runline Ripper Boston won the opener of this series 5-4. I expect this to be another close affair. The Red Sox are only 4-4 in James Paxton's eight road starts and Nats lefty MacKenzie Gore has posted a decent ERA of 3.91 in 10 home starts. The Nats are 12-8 against the runline in Gore's starts as an underdog this season. Bet on the Nationals +1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |

08-08-23 | Rangers -1.5 v. A's | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 3 m | Show | |
Mike's Rangers/Athletics Runline Ripper The Rangers have played mostly unders through a seven-game winning streak, despite swinging hot bats. They should have no trouble putting runs on the board here against left-hander JP Sears as the Ranger are averaging 6.2 runs per nine innings against left-handers. Texas hands the ball to Max Scherzer who is more than capable of shutting out opponents, but note his 5.16 ERA in road starts this season. I think we'll see a fair amount of runs scored in this game, and the total looks light to me. In addition to the over, I also like the Rangers to win comfortably. Bet on the Rangers -1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |

08-07-23 | Rangers -1.5 v. A's | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 47 m | Show | |
Mike's **LATE NIGHT** MLB Runline Ripper The Rangers are coming into the week on a six-game winning streak and they have averaged 8.3 runs per game over their last five games while Oakland has averaged 3.3 rpg over its last five games. Oakland left-hander Ken Waldichuk has been bouncing between the role as a starter and the bullpen. Waldichuk is 1-4 with a 7.01 ERA in 14 starts this season and has allowed eight runs on 15 hits over 10 innings in two career starts against Texas. Bet on the Rangers -1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |

The Rockies are 11-2 against the runline as an underdog on the road of no more than +150. Adam Wainwright is 1-4 with an ugly ERA of 8.16 in his home starts this year. Colorado right-hander Chris Flexen is 0-5 with a 8.08 ERA over 18 outings (5 starts), but he'll be looking for a fresh start since coming over from Seattle.

Mike's LATE NIGHT Mariners/Angels MLB BOOKIE BReaKER Angels All-Star Shohei Ohtani is the odds-on favorite for the AL MVP, but you always pay a big premium backing him and the Angels are only 8-5 SU and 5-8 against the runline with Ohtani on the bump and not laying more than -160. Ohtani is coming off a complete game shutout against Detroit, but he had allowed 14 runs through his previous three starts. I think the value is on Seattle and Bryan Woo who allowed only two runs over 4 2/3 innings of a 6-2 win over the Angels back in June. Bet on the Mariners +1.5 with 3% of your bankroll. |

Max Scherzer is 3-4 with a 2.63 ERA in 12 career outings (11 starts) against the Brewers. The Brewers are 2-2 SU and 3-1 against the runline in Adrian' Houser's four starts as an underdog this season. The under is 1-5-1 in Houser's seven starts. I think this will be a tight low-scoring affair, and I like the Brewers to cover the runline. 8* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BREWERS +1.5. |

Mike's **EARLY** MLB Runline Ripper The Guardians are 10-7 SU but only 6-11 against the runline as road favorites. Royals right-hander Zach Greinke has a decent ERA of 3.77 at home this season. Greinke has a 2-0 record with an ERA of 2.02 in six starts against Cleveland since the start of the 2021 season. Guardians righty Shane Bieber is 1-3 with a 4.58 ERA on the road. 8* PLAY ON KANSAS CITY ROYALS +1.5. |

Mike's MLB Runline Ripper The Brew Crew defeated the Mets 2-1 Monday night and if they lose this one, I don't think it'll be by more than one run. The Mets are 13-13 SU and 6-20 against the runline as home favorites. Brewers righty Julio Teheran has had a great start to the season, posting a 1.53 ERA over 35 1/3 innings of work. Teheran is 10-9 with a 2.98 ERA in 29 career games (28 starts) against the Mets. Mets left-hander David Peterson is 0-1 with a 10.38 ERA in three games (two starts) against the Brewers. 8* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BREWERS +1.5. |

Mike's Tigers/Rangers Runline Reaper The Rangers have the firepower to blow the doors off just about any opponent across the major leagues, and here they'll face Detroit southpaw Matthew Boyd who is 5-5 with a 5.37 ERA on the season. Boyd has a 1-7 record with an ERA of 6.08 in nine starts versus the Rangers in his career and Texas is averaging 6.84 R/9 against left-handers this year. I expect the Rangers bats to come alive here after being held to a total of seven runs in their three-game series against the Yankees over the weekend. 8* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS -1.5 |

Mets veteran right-hander Justin Verlander is only 2-4 with a 4.50 ERA for the season the team has lost four of his last five starts.

Mike's Super Early Cubs/Cards @ London MLB Bookie Bu$ter The Cubs clobbered the Cards 9-1 here at London Stadium on Saturday, and I predict another Cubs win here in the finale of the two-game series across the pond. Cubs righty Marcus Stroman has a 1-4 record with an ERA of 4.73 in eight starts versus the Cardinals in his career, but he held them to two runs on rou hits over six innings back in May. Stroman is having a great year, coming into this game 9-4 behind a 2.28 ERA. The Cubs have won each of his last seven starts. Cards left-hander Matthew Liberatore is 1-2 with a 6.12 ERA for the season. The Cubs are playing some of their best baseball of the season, and I don't see them losing with the solid Stroman on the mound. 8* PLAY ON CHICAGO CUBS -1.5. |

Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland is 3-2 with a 3.19 ERA at home and he's looking good to bounce back from a rough outing last time out when he gave up seven runs at Atlanta. The Rockies return home from a long road trip and they'll be desperate for a win following eight straight setbacks. This is ugly but I expect the Rockies to show up and keep this close. 8* PLAY ON COLORADO ROCKIES +1.5. |

Mike's 10* MLB Runline Game of the Week The Dodgers will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing end to last week which saw them getting swept by the Giants in a three-game series. Angels left-hander Reid Detmers is coming off a couple of impressive outings, but he's still 1-5, 4.48 ERA for the season. Detmers is 0-2 with a 9.35 ERA in two career starts against the Dodgers. As for Dodgers southpaw Clayton Kershaw, he is 8-4 with a 2.95 ERA for the season and 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA over his last three starts.

The Braves will start rookie right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver who pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed two runs, both unearned, in his debut against the Washington Nationals on Friday. That was a solid outing, but he's still untested and I expect the Rockies to keep this close. 8* PLAY ON COLORADO ROCKIES +1.5. |

Taillon is 0-2 with an 8.27 ERA in four home starts, and here he'll face a Pittsburgh team that knows him very well.

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Cardinals are 2-7 in left-hander Steven Matz nine starts for the season. Matz (0-5, 5.05 ERA) is coming off 4 2/3 scoreless innings against the Dodgers, but it's worth noting that Cincinnati hits left-handers better than right-handers and they are 8-0 in their last 8 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Cincy right-hander Ben Lively (1-2, 2.45 ERA) has allowed only three runs on seven hits and one walk over 11 innings for a WHIP of 0.73. The Cardinals bats have been hot of late, but I think the value is on the Reds to cover the runline. 8* PLAY ON CINCINNATI REDS +1½. |

The Reds on the other hand are slumping, coming into the week 1-6 in their last seven games and they've averaged only 3.20 runs per game over their last five games.

Wainwright faced the Dodgers once last season and gave up four runs on six hits over just three innings. The Dodgers will start Julio Urias (5-3, 3.61 ERA) who is 2-0 with 17 strikeouts and a 2.29 ERA in three starts this month. This will be Urias first career start versus St. Louis. The Dodgers have won each of the last five meetings and seven of the last eight.

Detroit left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (2-2, 2.21 ERA) has had a great start to the year, and while the Tigers are 2-4 SU in his six starts, two of those losses came by only one one, and in extra innings.

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Rays are 11-0 SU and 9-2 against the RL as home favorites this season. Shane McClanahan has a 1-1 record with an ERA of 3.27 and 12 strikeouts in 2 starts versus the White Sox in his career.

04-19-23 | Rays -1.5 v. Reds | Top | 8-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
MIKE'S EARLY MLB RUNLINE GAME OF THE WEEK Reds righty Levi Stoudt will be making his MLB debut Wednesday afternoon, and he could not have faced a tougher opponent. The Rays have started the season red hot. They're 15-2 and 14-3 against the RL as favorites and have averaged 7.08 runs per nine innings over their first 18 games. Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen (2-1, 2.60 ERA) has started the season strong and the Rays are 11-0 SU and 9-2 against the runline in his last 11 starts as a favorite of at least -150. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |

04-17-23 | Rangers -1.5 v. Royals | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Rangers are off to a solid 9-6 start to the year while the Royals are 4-12 (1-9 at home). Jacob deGrom is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.93 in 2 starts against the Royals in his career. Jordan Lyles has a 2-6 record with an ERA of 6.20 in 11 starts versus the Rangers in his career. Lyles is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA in three starts on the season and the Rangers are averaging 6.29 runs per nine innings against right-handers. Additionally, KC's bullpen is one of the worst in baseball with an ERA of 5.67. 10* PLAY ON TEXAS RANGERS -1.5. |

04-13-23 | Pirates v. Cardinals -1.5 | Top | 5-0 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 2 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE RIPPER TOP PLAY Pittsburgh took a 7-0 beating by Houston on Wednesday and I think they're in for another rough game here in the opener of a four-game set at St. Louis. Pittsburgh righty Vince Velasquez is 0-2 with a 9.82 ERA and a 2.18 WHIP on the season. Velasquez is 1-3 with an ERA of 5.67 in seven appearances (six starts) against the Cardinals in his career. Cards left-hander Jordan Montgomery has an ERA of 3.00 in two starts versus the Pirates in his career. Montgomery is 2-0 with an 2.25 ERA in two starts on the season. 10* PLAY ON ST. LOUIS CARDINALS -1.5. |

04-13-23 | Tigers v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 3 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE BOOKIE BU$TER Chris Bassitt has a record of 4-2 with an ERA of 3.30 and 43 strikeouts in seven starts versus the Tigers in his career. Spencer Turnbull has allowed three runs on four hits with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts in 5 innings versus the Blue Jays in his career. He has been charged with the loss. While both pitchers have had poor starts to the year, note Toronto's 8-4 team record vs. Detroit's 2-9 record. The Tigers covered the runline in only one of those nine losses while the Jays are 6-2 against the runline in their wins. 8* PLAY ON TORONTO BLUE JAYS -1.5. |

04-12-23 | Astros v. Pirates +1.5 | 7-0 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Pirates are 7-4 SU on the season and I expect a strong outing from left-hander Rich Hill after getting smacked around by the White Sox in his last start. Astros righty Jose Urquidy has allowed four runs on 14 hits over 9 1/ innings on the season. Hill has a 3-2 record with an ERA of 3.11 in 12 appearances (eight starts) against the Astros in his career. 8* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH PIRATES +1.5. |

04-08-23 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 8-12 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 32 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to back the Dodgers following a 6-3 loss to the D'Backs Friday night. Noah Syndergaard held Arizona scoreless over six innings of four-hit ball on April 2 in his Dodgers debut. Just as tonight he was opposed by Zach Davies who limited the Dodgers to one run on four hits in that matchup, but note that Davies had a record of 0-2 with an ERA of 5.82 in five starts against the Dodgers last year. Syndergaard has a 3-1 record with an ERA of 2.27 and 40 strikeouts over 31 2/3 innings in five career starts against the Diamondbacks. The moneyline is a decent bet, but I'm seeing more value on the runline. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |

04-07-23 | A's v. Rays -1.5 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Rays are perfect 6-0 SU and against the run line and they've averaged 7.76 runs / nine innings: Oakland is 2-4 SU while averaging only 3.62 R/9. Oakland left-hander Ken Waldichuk was tagged with six runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings of a 6-0 loss to the Angels in his first start of the season. Rays starter, right-hander Zach Eflin opened the season with five innings of one-run ball in Saturday's 12-2 home rout of the Tigers. Eflin held Oakland scoreless over four innings last year. 10* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |

04-04-23 | Tigers v. Astros -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -125 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Astros took a loss to the Tigers in the opener of this series, despite scoring six runs. That should not happen tonight with southpaw Framber Valdez on the mound. The Tigers are batting only .130 against left-handers and Valdez had a record of 1-0 with an ERA of 1.20 and 15 strikeouts over 15 innings in two starts versus the Tigers in 2022. Detroit hands the ball to Matt Manning who was 2-3 with a 3.43 ERA in 13 starts last year, but he had a 4.94 ERA and a .293 OBA in five road starts. 8* PLAY ON HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5. |

04-03-23 | Rockies v. Dodgers -1.5 | 4-13 | Win | 100 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB BOOKIE BU$TER The Dodgers are a disappointing 2-2 on the season after splitting four games with Arizona. The Rockies have split four games at San Diego to start the year. Rockies righty Ryan Feltner posted a 1.93 ERA in two matchups with the Dodgers last year, but 9 1/3 innings is a very small sample. I expect the Dodgers to start this series with a blowout win. 8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES DODGERS -1.5. |
|||||||
04-03-23 | Tigers v. Astros -1.5 | 7-6 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB BOOKIE BLA$TER The Tigers are 0-3 on the season after getting swept by the Tampa Bay Rays. Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd has a 4.82 ERA in five career starts against the Astros, and he did not make a single start in 2022 when he made 10 relief appearances with the Mariners. The Astros hand the ball to Hunter Brown who posted a 0.89 ERA in seven outings (two starts) for the Astros last season. I expect the Astros to start this series with a blowout win. 8* PLAY ON HOUSTON ASTROS -1.5. |

04-03-23 | Rays -1.5 v. Nationals | 6-2 | Win | 106 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB BOOKIE BOMBER The Nats are expected to be one of the worst teams in baseball this season, and they've started the year 1-2 while the Rays are coming off a 3-0 sweep of Detroit. The Rays outscored Detroit 21-3 in that three-game series, so their bats are off to a hot start and Drew Rasmussen is a solid pitcher. I don't see the Nats keeping this close. 8* PLAY ON TAMPA BAY RAYS -1.5. |

04-02-23 | Angels v. A's +1.5 | 6-0 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The A's and the Angels are coming into this game tied at 1-1 for the series. Ken Waldichuk has not allowed any runs on three hits with one walk and four strikeouts in seven innings against the Angels in his career. Waldichuck was 2-1 with a 3.63 ERA in three home starts last year. Tyler Anderson has a record of 2-0 with an ERA of 1.08 in three starts against the Athletics in his career. I think the A's are undervalued in this game. 8* PLAY ON OAKLAND ATHLETICS +1.5. |

03-30-23 | Angels v. A's +1.5 | 1-2 | Win | 105 | 14 h 26 m | Show | |
MIKE'S LATE NIGHT MLB RUNLINE RIPPER OK this looks like a big mismatch on the mound with Shohei Ohtani (15-9, 2.33 ERA in 2022)´going up against the A's left-hander Kyle Muller (1-1, 8.03 ERA in 2022), but note that Ohtani is only 4-4 in 10 lifetime starts against Oakland. I don't think LAA should be this big of a favorite, and if they win it'll not be by more than one run. 8* PLAY ON OAKLAND ATHLETICS +1.5. |

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE RIPPER The Angels have a massive edge on the mound with Shohei Ohtani going up against rookie left-hander Ken Waldichuck who is 1-2 with a 6.18 ERA in six starts. Ohtani has an ERA of 0.92 over three starts covering 19 2/3 innings against the Athletics this season. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS -1.5. |

MIKE'S 10* MLB RUNLINE PLAY OF THE DAY The Orioles are perfect 8-0 in Austin Voth's eight home starts on the season. Tigers left-hander Joey Wentz has made only four starts this year and comes into this game with a 1-2 record and a 4.15 ERA. The Tigers won the opener of this series 11-0 on Monday. Tigers are 5-15 in their last 20 games following a win. Orioles are 29-14 in their last 43 games following a loss. 10* PLAY ON BALTIMORE ORIOLES. |
