07-20-18 | Indians -1.5 v. Rangers | 9-8 | Loss | -119 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
The Rangers open the 2nd half of the season at home after a 10-game road trip to finish the first half of the season. Texas was just 3-7 to finish that road stint. Martin Perez looks to get the Rangers back on the winning note today. Perez is just 2-4 with a 7.67 ERA and a lofty 2.046 WHIP. Perez has just two quality starts in his six outings and some really bad ones to go along with those two. Cleveland has little competition in a very week AL Central. The Indians are the only team with a winning record (52-43). Today they send Trevor Bauer to the hill. Bauer is 8-6 with a 2.31 ERA in his 20 starts. Bauer has been very good of late, allowing two runs or less in his last six starts. The Indians have a big advantage on the hill today and I look for a lopsided win. Lay the run line with the Indians |

07-20-18 | Braves +167 v. Nationals | 8-5 | Win | 167 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The Braves are hoping to duplicate their success in the first half of the season that led to a 52-42 record. The open a three-game set here today at Washington. The Braves won their last game of the 1st half over the Diamondbacks, 5-1. Today they send Anibal Sanchez to the hill. Sanchez is 4-2 in his 11 starts with a nice 2.73 ERA and 1.005 WHIP. Sanchez had a great first to the first half, allowing just two runs in his last two starts (12 2/3 innings) and not allowing over three runs in seven of his last eight starts. Washington had a sub-par first half of the season, finishing with just a 48-48 record. Stephen Strasburg will start today with a 6-6 record and 3.46 ERA. Strasburg has pitched well, though the team has lost his last two starts and two of his last three. Braves way too big a dog today considering they have the hotter pitcher on the hill and the better record. Live dog action here with the visitor. Take Atlanta |

07-17-18 | National League v. American League -126 | 6-8 | Win | 100 | 24 h 45 m | Show | |
The All Star game is tonight and finally MLB got smart enough to remove the attachment to the World Series home field advantage. This was a silly thing to pin on a game that is for fun, especially when it can impact a team that has had a great season and deserves home field throughout the playoffs. That being said, this is also the fourth straight game being played at a National League park. The AL will bat last and officially be the home team though. The AL has dominated this series, winning five straight, including the last three at NL parks. The NL did have a bit of success in 2012 - 2010 where they won three straight. However, the AL won the previous 12 of 13 games. That means the AL has now won 15 of the last 18 years against the senior circuit. That's a pretty impressive streak for any sport's All-Star game. I'm going to stick with that trend here tonight and take the AL. |

07-17-18 | National League v. American League OVER 7 | 6-8 | Win | 100 | 24 h 45 m | Show | |
The All Star game is tonight and finally MLB got smart enough to remove the attachment to the World Series home field advantage. This was a silly thing to pin on a game that is for fun, especially when it can impact a team that has had a great season and deserves home field throughout the playoffs. That being said, this is also the fourth straight game being played at a National League park. The AL will bat last and officially be the home team though. The MLB All Star game is unlike the NBA, NFL or even NHL in that those games usually have little or no defense and are full of scoring. This game though has been a solid under play in recent times. In fact, only the 2015 game in Cincinnati had nine runs. The other 10 of 11 years had eight or less. That's why the oddsmakers have dropped this total all the way down to seven, which is almost unheard of. Last Year's game in Miami resulted in a AL win, 2-1. Again a game dominated by pitching. That's not where I'm going this year, with this line of seven, I'm sticking with the OVER. |

07-15-18 | Mariners v. Rockies -152 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 55 m | Show | |
Reason: Colorado has won four straight games as they close out the first half of the season. The look for the sweep here today vs the Mariners. The Rockies have won 10-7 and then yesterday 4-1 over Seattle. In fact, the Rockies are kind of sad to see the break, having won 10 of their last 12 games. Tyler Anderson will start today. Anderson is 6-3 for Colorado with a 3.76 ERA. Anderson has allowed just one run over his last three starts (20 innings). Seattle will start Mike Leake today. Leake is 8-6 on the year with a 4.36 ERA and 1.323 WHIP. Leake has struggled recently, allowing eight earned runs over his last eight innings with three walks and just five KO's. The Rockies are hot and they have the edge on the mound today too. I'm playing Colorado. |
|||||||
07-14-18 | Phillies -157 v. Marlins | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -157 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
The Phillies got a great pitching effort from Jake Arrieta on Friday to shut down the Marlins, 0-2. The Phils will try to make it three in a row with a win today. To do so, they send Aaron Nola to the hill. Nola is 12-2 and by far the best pitcher the Phillies have this season. Nola has a outstanding 2.27 ERA and 0.984 WHIP. In addition, Nola has allowed just two total runs over his last three starts (21 2/3 innings) with just five walks and 27 KO's. The Marlins dropped to 39-57 with their loss on Friday. Trevor Richards heads to the hill today for the fish. Richards is 2-5 with a 5.24 ERA. Nola has been outstanding and I look for another excellent Phillies start today. Play Philadelphia. |
|||||||
07-13-18 | Rays v. Twins UNDER 8.5 | 8-11 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
The Rays have gone under in three straight after last night's loss to the Twins, 1-5. They will send Nathan Eovaldi to the hill this evening. Eovaldi has been pitching very well, allowing just two total runs over his last three starts (19 innings) with just three walks and 23 KO's. The Twins will start one time Rays pitcher Jake Odorizzi. Odorizzi will likely have extra incentive against his old teammates tonight. Odorizzi has also been hot, allowing just two runs over his last three starts (17 innings) with eight walks and 22 KO's. Two red-hot pitchers and for me that means UNDER. |
|||||||
07-13-18 | Phillies v. Marlins +130 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
The Marlins took two of three games from the Brewers as they head into their final series before the break. The Marlins will turn to Wei-Yin Chen tonight. Chen is just 2-6 on the season with a lofty 6.14 ERA and 1.546 WHIP. He's been inconsistent, pitching well one game and getting shelled the next. The Phillies will turn to Jake Arrieta who is 6-6 on the season with a 3.47 ERA. The Phils are a pretty good road favorite here and the key to this game is finding out which Chen will show up. I think we'll get the good one tonight. Chen has been so much better at home where he has a 1.89 ERA in his six starts and and the Marlins are 4-2. Chen at home as a dog has some great value here. Play Miami. |

07-12-18 | Rays -115 v. Twins | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
Tampa Bay continues their surge. It was just a week or so ago that they climbed back to .500 mark. Now, the club is 48-44 with their recent five game win streak. The Rays took two of three from the Mets and then swept the Tigers. Today they start a four-game set with the Twins. The Rays begin the series with their Ace on the hill, Blake Snell. Snell is 12-4 on the season with a nice 2.10 ERA. Snell has now allowed over one run in any of his last four starts and just one time in his last nine starts. The Twins are still eight games under .500 at 41-49. They will turn to Kyle Gibson today. Gibson is just 3-6 this season with a 3.59 ERA. Gibson has allowed 11 runs over his last three starts. Snell has been amazing and today we'll stick with the Rays Ace here. Play Tampa Bay. |
|||||||
07-12-18 | Nationals v. Mets UNDER 7 | 5-4 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
The Nationals and Mets begin a three-game set tonight in New York. The Nationals lost two of three in their last series with the Pirates, with all three games going under. The Nats scored a total of eight runs over the three games. Tonight they start their Ace, Max Scherzer. Scherzer is 11-5 on the season with a 2.33 ERA and 0.893 WHIP. Scherzer is coming off a sub-par start, allowing four runs over seven innings the the Marlins. The Mets have gone under in six of their last eight games. This is in part to an anemic offense. Steven Matz will try and keep them close tonight with a his 4-6 record and 3.31 ERA. Matz has pitched very well of late, allowing just one run over his last two starts (11 2/3 innings). Both pitchers are very good and I don't expect the Mets to get much tonight vs Scherzer. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
07-12-18 | Diamondbacks v. Rockies +103 | 1-5 | Win | 103 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
The Rockies have split their first two games with Arizona, taking last night's contest 19-2. The Rockies will send Kyle Freeland to the hill today with a 8-6 record and 3.18 ERA. Freeland has been even better at Coors field, posting a 5-2 record and 2.89 ERA. Freeland has not allowed more than two runs in any of his last four starts. The D'backs will start Robbie Ray today. Ray is 3-1 in his nine starts with a 5.23 ERA and lofty 1.488 WHIP. Ray has allowed 10 runs over his last 9 1/3 innings of work with five walks. Strange that Colorado is a +1.00 dog here against a poor pitcher like Ray. I'll take the good price on the home team. Play Colorado. |
|||||||
07-11-18 | Dodgers v. Padres UNDER 7.5 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
The Dodgers and Padres have split the first two games of their series with LA winning on Monday and the Padres last night, 4-1. The Dodgers will send Kenta Maeda to the hill today. Maeda is only 5-5 in his 15 starts, but has a respectable 3.28 ERA. Maeda has pitched well, allowing two runs or less in seven of his last eight starts. In fact, the Dodgers have gone UNDER in eight straight starts that Maeda has made. The Padres will counter with Joey Lucchesi. Lucchesi is 4-4 on the season with a 3.27 ERA. However, he's been excellent of late, allowing just two runs over his last three starts (14 2/3 innings). Both of these pitchers have been hot and I like this game to go UNDER tonight. |
|||||||
07-11-18 | Mariners v. Angels UNDER 9 | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Seattle has fallen back to second in the AL West behind Houston. Still, the Mariners are having a fine season at 57-35. The M's send Marco Gonzales to the hill today. Gonzales is 9-5 in his 18 starts this season. Gonzales has a 3.39 ERA. In addition, Gonzales has allowed just two runs over his last two starts (15 innings). The Angels took game one with the Mariners on Tuesday, 9-3. Jaime Barria will start tonight for the Halos. Barria is 5-5 in his last 12 starts with a 3.39 ERA. Barria has pitched well of late, allowing two runs or less in each of his last three starts (15 2/3 innings). Both clubs have pitchers who have been hot and therefore I'm taking the UNDER tonight. |
|||||||
07-10-18 | Cardinals -158 v. White Sox | Top | 14-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
White Sox have now lost five straight games as they begin their IL series tonight with the Cardinals. The Astros blasted the Sox, outscoring them 29-14. Dylan Covey will start for the Sox tonight. Covey is 3-4 with a 5.01 ERA. Covey has got hit hard late, allowing 22 runs over his last four starts (15 innings). The Cardinals lost two of their three game set with the Giants. They work their way back East after their West Coast swing. Miles Mikolas has been excellent for the red birds, posting a 9-3 record this season with a nifty 2.63 ERA and 1.033 WHIP. Mikolas has allowed just five total runs over his last three starts (19 innings). Huge edge today to the Cardinals in starters, plus St Louis just is the better team. Play the Cardinals. |
|||||||
07-09-18 | Cubs v. Giants -114 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
The Cubs are in second place in the NL Central, trailing the Brewers. Chicago has won two straight and eight of the last nine games. They will start Kyle Hendricks today who is 5-8 on the season with a 4.27 ERA. Hendricks has had a rough time of late, allowing 13 runs over his last three starts (13 2/3 innings). Kenricks has walked seven and struck out just eight during that span. The Cubs make the trip West today to take on the Giants. The Giants split their four-game series with the Cardinals, taking the finale on Sunday, 13-8. Today, they will start Andrew Suarez. Suarez is 3-5 with a 3.92 ERA. Suarez has pitched very well of late, allowing just three runs over his last three starts (19 2/3 innings) with just three BB's and 15 KO's. Suarez pitching very well compared to Kendricks. I'm taking the Giants here tonight. |
|||||||
07-08-18 | Reds v. Cubs -143 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 4 h 60 m | Show | |
The Cubs and Reds have split the first two games of this series with the Reds winning last night, 8-7. The Reds have now won seven of their last eight games. They send one of the leagues best to the hill today in Jon Lester. Lester is among the MLB leaders in ERA with a 2.25 ERA and 11-2 record. Lester has allowed more than two runs just one time in his last 11 starts. The Reds dropped to 39-50 with the loss last night. They will counter with Luis Castillo. Castillo is 5-8 in his 18 starts with a 5.53 ERA and 1.378 WHIP. Castillo has allowed less than three runs just one time in his last seven starts. Cubs should have little trouble here today. Play Chicago. |
|||||||
07-08-18 | Braves v. Brewers -120 | 3-10 | Win | 100 | 4 h 49 m | Show | |
The Brewers sit atop the NL Central division with their 53-36 record. They have taken two of the first three from the Braves, losing last night 1-5. Junior Guerra will start today with a 5-5 record and 2.87 ERA. Guerra has pitched well, allowing no runs in his last start over five innings. The Braves are in first place in the NL East with a 50-38 record. They will send Sean Newcomb to the hill today with a 8-3 record and 3.10 ERA. Newcomb has allowed eight runs over his last two starts (8 2/3 innings) with seven walks and just eight KO's. I like the Brewers today with Guerra on the hill. Play Milwaukee. |
|||||||
07-08-18 | Rays -141 v. Mets | 9-0 | Win | 100 | 3 h 50 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay has just got back to .500 at 44-44 with their win on Saturday over the Mets, 3-0. The Rays will try and stay there today with Nathan Eovaldi on the hill. Eovaldi has a 3.92 ERA this season in his seven starts and has pitched very well of late. Eovaldi has allowed just two runs over his last 12 innings. The Mets dropped to just 35-50 on the season with their loss last night to the Rays. The Mets are calling up Chris Flexen to start today. The Mets have a doubleheader on Monday and needed the fifth starter. Flexen has just a 4.48 ERA in his 67 innings at Triple-A Las Vegas. Flexen hasn't show much in the minors or in relief for the Mets this year. Take the Rays. |
|||||||
07-07-18 | Rockies v. Mariners UNDER 7.5 | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
The Rockies have won four straight games, thanks to some stellar pitching. The staff has allowed just four total runs over their four game win streak with three going under and one push. Kyle Freeland starts today with a 8-6 record and 3.25 ERA. Freeland has allowed just four runs over his last three starts (20 innings). The Mariners are having a great season at 56-33. They lost to the Rockies last night, 1-7 but had won nine of their previous 10 games. James Paxton starts tonight with a 8-2 record and 3.30 ERA. Paxton went eight shutout innings in his last start, walking two and striking out 11. This one should be a good pitching duel tonight. I'm taking UNDER. |
|||||||
07-07-18 | Rays v. Mets UNDER 7 | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay just got to the .500 mark and a two game losing streak has dropped them back to 43-44. The Rays have seen their total go under in seven of their last nine games (one push). Blake Snell gets the start today. Snell is the team's ace this year with a 11-4 record and 2.24 ERA. Snell has allowed just two totals runs in his last three starts and not over two runs in eight of his last nine starts. The Mets have gone under in three of their last four games. Their hitting has not been very good this season, as they average just 4.0 runs per game. Steven Matz starts today with a 4.50 record and 3.46 ERA. Both these clubs are below average hitting teams and with Snell on the hill I don't expect much out of the Mets. I'm taking UNDER. |
|||||||
07-07-18 | Cardinals -124 v. Giants | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 11 m | Show | |
These clubs have split the first two of their series with the Cardinals winning on Thursday and the Giants last night, 3-2. The Cardinals send Carlos Martinez to the hill today. Martinez is 5-4 with a 3.20 ERA. Martinez has allowed just four runs over his last two starts (12 innings) with three walks and 15 KO's. The Giants are in fourth place in the NL West at 46-44. They snapped a four-game losing streak with last night's win. Jeff Samardzija returns from the DL today. Samardzija hasn't pitched since May 29th when he went just one inning. Samardzija is 1-4 on the season with a 6.56 ERA. Not sure what form Samardzija will be in after a long layoff. I'm taking the Cardinals here today until I know how Samardzija works out. |
|||||||
07-07-18 | Phillies +117 v. Pirates | 3-2 | Win | 117 | 5 h 11 m | Show | |
The Phillies bring a five game win streak into today's contest with their Western PA rivals. The Phils trounced the Bucs yesterday, 17-5. Jake Arrieta starts tonight for Philly. Arrieta is only 5-6 on the season, but has a nice 3.54 ERA and 1.270 WHIP. Arrieta has been solid, allowing three runs or less in each of his last three starts. The Pirates have a four game losing streak. They turn to Jameson Taillon today. Taillon is 5-6 with a 4.05 ERA. Philly just playing better ball at this stage of the season. Take Philadelphia |
|||||||
07-07-18 | Reds +136 v. Cubs | 7-8 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
Reds have won two straight including last night's opener with the Cubs, 3-2. Today Matt Harvey will toe the rubber. Harvey is just 4-5 on the season with a 4.46 ERA. However, he's pitched well of late, allowing no runs in his last start and just three runs over his last three starts (18 2/3 innings). The Cubs will counter with Tyler Chatwood. Chatwood is 3-5 with a 4.42 ERA. Unlike Harvey, Chatwood is coming off his worst start of the season, allowing seven runs over five innings to the Twins. Both these pitchers have similar stats with Harvey the better of late. No reason the Cubs should be such a big favorite here. Take the Reds. |
|||||||
07-06-18 | Braves v. Brewers UNDER 8 | 4-5 | Loss | -121 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
Great pitching matchup here tonight as the Braves start Mike Foltynewicz. Foltynewicz is 6-4, but his record doesn't reflect how well he has pitched. Foltynewicz has just a 2.02 ERA this season and more recently he's allowed two run or more just one time in his last nine starts. The Brewers counter with Freddy Peralta. Peralta has only five starts under his belt, but a 2.28 ERA and has allowed no runs in three of his five outings. Two very good starters tonight and that looks like an UNDER to me. |
|||||||
07-06-18 | A's +175 v. Indians | 4-10 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
The surging Oakland A's are now 48-39 on the season thanks to a run where they are 14-3 in their last 17 games. Which begs the question, how are the A's who are one of the hottest teams in baseball such a big dog tonight? They have Paul Blackburn on the hill who is only 2-2 this year with a 6.47 ERA. However, Blackburn is coming off one of his best starts last time out against who? Yep, these Indians. He allowed the tribe just three hits and no runs over 6 2/3 innings. The Indians will counter with Carlos Carrasco who is 8-5 in his 15 starts with a 4.24 ERA. However, Carrasco hasn't started since mid-June due to injury. He wasn't all that consistent either in his previous starts. So again, my question is why are the A's such a big dog. Really, there is no reason. I'm taking the A's here who can easily win this contest. |
|||||||
07-06-18 | Rays +147 v. Mets | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
The Rays have been a giant killer this year. AT 43-43 they sure get some huge dog prices and tonight is no different. The last eight times the Rays have been installed as the underdog, they are an amazing 7-1 and the profits just have been rolling in. Tonight, I'm taking the Rays again with Ryan Stanek on the hill. Stanek may only have a 0-1 record in his nine starts, but the Rays have won two of his last three starts as big dogs. The Mets are just 34-49 on the season and while they have their ace on the hill tonight, that's never a given with this club. Jacob Degrom is having a nice year, at 5-4 you would think his stats are mediocre too, but not. He has an outstanding 1.84 ERA and hasn't allowed over three runs in any of his last 13 starts. So how does he have just five wins? Poor support. In his last 10 starts the Mets have garnered more than three runs of support just one time. Take the Rays tonight and enjoy your dog winner. |

07-05-18 | Cardinals v. Giants -129 | 11-2 | Loss | -129 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
The Giants had been riding a nice 9-2 run before they hit the Mile High City. The Rockies swept the Giants, outscoring them 14-3. The Giants return home tonight from their six game road trip to face the Cardinals. Johnny Cueto returns to the hill tonight after making his last start on April 28. Cueto is a huge return to this team after he was 3-0 to start the season with a 0.84 ERA and 0.688 WHIP. The Cardinals took two of three in their series with the Diamondbacks but are still just 2-5 in their last seven games. Their West Coast trip continues tonight at San Francisco. The Red Birds will start Luke Weaver who is 4-7 in his 17 starts with a 5.36 ERA and 1.461 WHIP. Weaver has walked eight batters in his last 15 2/3 innings. If Cueto is even close to his previous form, the Giants are a great play tonight. Take San Francisco. |
|||||||
07-04-18 | Angels v. Mariners -105 | 7-4 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 40 m | Show | |
The Seattle Mariners win streak continues, now up to eight games after their 4-1 win over the Angels on Tuesday. The M's jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the 1st inning and never looked back. Mike Leake will try and extend the streak to nine tonight. Leake is 8-4 in his 17 starts with a 4.01 ERA and 1.208 WHIP. Leak has had seven excellent starts in his last eight games. His only blemish was a five run performance to the Red Sox on Jun 17th. The Angels have lost two straight and eight of the last 10 games. The Halos will turn to Jamie Barria tonight. Barria is 5-4 in 11 starts with a 3.40 ERA and 1.204 WHIP. The Mariners have been red- hot and they have an excellent closer in Diaz. Take the Mariners! |
|||||||
07-03-18 | Angels v. Mariners -109 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
The LA Angels try to get back into the race today after dropping to 43-42 on the season. The Angels send Andrew Heaney to the hill. Heaney is 4-5 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.207 WHIP. Heany is coming onff one of his worst starts, alloing six runs over just 3 1/3 innings to the Red Sox. Seattle continues to cruise along, winning seven in a row by sweeping the Royals and the Orioles. Tonight they send Wade Leblanc to the hill. Leblanc is 3-0 in his 11 starts with a 3.09 ERA and 1.166 WHIP. Leblanc has just one bad start in his last 11, that coming at Boston on June 22 where he allowed six runs over 4 2/3 innings. I like the Mariners as they continue to play great baseball. Play Seattle. |
|||||||
07-03-18 | Orioles v. Phillies -144 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
The Orioles snapped their seven game losing streak last night with a win over the Angels, 8-2. The O's are still buried in last place in what is the toughest division in baseball, the AL East. Alex Cobb gets the start this eveing with a 2-9 record and 6.75 ERA. Cobb has not pitched well, allowing 20 runs over his last four starts (22 2/3 innings). Meanwhile, the Phillies have won two straight and four of five. The Phils send Zach Eflin to the hill today with a 6-2 record in his 10 starts. Eflin has a nifty 3.02 ERA and has not allowed over two runs in any of his last four starts. Eflin pitching great and the O's just not a good team this year. Play Philadelphia. |
|||||||
07-03-18 | Red Sox +101 v. Nationals | 11-4 | Win | 101 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
Two of the best teams in baseball reside in the AL East this year and that's Boston and the NY Yankees. Sad thing is, one will have to settle for a Wild Card. The Red Sox hope it won't be them and today they will send Brian Johnson to hill. Johnson has just two starts, but both have been good. Johnson allowed one run over four innings to the Angels and then one run over six innings to the Marlins. The Nationals have lost three straight and eight of their last 10 games. They will try to get out of their slump with Tanner Roark on the hill. Roark has a 3-8 record in his 16 starts with a 3.94 ERA. Walks have been an issue for Roark, with seven free passes in his last 10 1/3 innings. I like the Sox tonight with Johnson on the hill. Play Boston. |

07-03-18 | Twins v. Brewers -129 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 19 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Twins look to snap a four-game losing streak when they play the second of their series tonight with the Brewers. The Twins lost the opener last night 5-6. Jake Odorizzi starts tonight for the Twins. Odorizzi is 3-5 in his 17 starts with a 4.62 ERA and 1.436 WHIP. Walks have been a issue for Odorizzi with 12 free passes in his last four starts. The Brewers will counter with Junior Guerra tonight. Guerra is 4-5 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.198 WHIP. I like this IL matchup in favor of the home club here. Play Milwaukee. |

07-02-18 | Giants v. Rockies UNDER 11 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
The Giants swept Arizona in their three-game series and now travel to Colorado to begin their series with the Rockies. The Giants will start Madison Bumgarner today. Bumgarner is 1-2 in his five starts since returning from the DL. Bumgarner has a nice 2.51 ERA and 1.021 WHIP. He is also coming off two straight starts where's he's allowed no runs over 15 innings with just four walks and 16 KO's. The Rockies took two of three from the Dodgers, though they lost on Sunday, 4-6. Kyle Freeland starts today with a 7-6 record in his 16 starts, 3.30 ERA and 1.220 WHIP. Freeland is coming off a nice start, allowing no runs and four hits over seven innings to the Giants. Both these pitchers have been pitching very well and I am going UNDER tonight. |

07-01-18 | Braves -109 v. Cardinals | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
Atlanta goes for the sweep today in their series with the Cardinals. The Braves have scored 16 runs to the Cardinals 5 runs thus far. Mike Foltynewicz starts today for the Braves. Foltynewicz is 5-4, but has pitched much better than his record. Foltynewicz has a 2.14 ERA and has not allowed more than two runs in any of his last eight starts. In fact, in those eight starts he allowed two runs just one time. The Cardinals have lost three straight games and scored just six runs during that stretch. Today they start John Gant. Gant is 1-2 in his four starts with a 4.09 ERA and 1.091 WHIP. The way Foltynewicz is pitching, I don't see the Cardinals getting much off him. I'll take Atlanta. |

07-01-18 | Astros v. Rays UNDER 7 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
Houston has gone over just one time in their last five games. They lost the opener to the Rays last night with the Ace Verlander on the hill, 2-5. They have now lost both games of this series to the Rays, both as big favorites. Today, the Astros send Charlie Morton to the hill. Morton has been the team's best pitcher this year with a 10-1 record, 2.54 ERA and 1.108 WHIP. Morton has not allowed a run over his last 13 innings of work with 17 KO's. The Rays have clawed their way back to .500 now at 41-41. They look to go over the break-even mark today with Blake Snell on the hill. Snell has had a great season with a 10-4 record, 2.31 ERA and 1.036 WHIp. Snell has also been hot, allowing just one run over his last 14 innings. Two red-hot pitchers here means I'm going UNDER. |

06-30-18 | Giants +111 v. Diamondbacks | 7-0 | Win | 111 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
The Giants and D'backs opened a three game series last night with the Giants winning 2-1. That makes the Giants 5-1 in their last six and 8-2 in their last 10 games. Derek Rodriguez starts today for the Giants with a 2-1 record in his five starts. Rodriquez has a 3.95 ERA with a 1.280 WHIP and is coming off a seven inning, four hit, one run performance. Arizona lost for just the second time in their last nine games. The D'backs have allowed just three runs over their last three games. Shelby Miller toes the rubber today for the D'backs, making just his second start of the season. His first wasn't all that good, allowing five runs over just 3 2/3 innings to the Marlins. Both teams have been playing well, but I give the nod here today to the visitor. Take San Francisco. |

06-30-18 | Red Sox -135 v. Yankees | 11-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The Red Sox and Yankees continue their storied rivalry here today on Saturday. The Sox lost the opener last night, 1-8. Today they turn to Chris Sale who is 7-4 with a 2.56 ERA and 0.927 WHIP. Sale has been excellent of late, allowing just four runs over his four starts (28 innings). He's also walked just seven and struck out 43. The Yankees will start Sonny Gray who is 5-5 with a 4.93 ERA and 1.444 WHIP. Gray has allowed 10 runs over the last 16 2/3 innings. Red Sox have a very good Sale on the hill today and that's all I need to play Boston. |

06-29-18 | Braves v. Cardinals -146 | 5-1 | Loss | -146 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
Two clubs having very good seasons matchup here tonight as the 45-34 Braves take on the 42-37 Cardinals. Atlanta has slumped a bit of late, losing two straight games and five of the last seven. They will send Julio Teheran to the hill tonight with a 5-5 record in his 15 starts. Teheran has a 4.52 ERA, but is coming off his worst start of the year, allowing seven runs over just 4 2/3 innings. The Cardinals had their four-game win streak snapped on Wednesday by the Indians, 1-5. Miles Mikola has been outstanding for the Red Birds this year, posting a 8-2 record with a 2.69 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 1.68 ERA and 0.869 WHIP. I like Mikolas a lot here tonight, take St Louis. |

06-29-18 | White Sox +135 v. Rangers | 3-11 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
White Sox and Rangers begin a three-game set here today in Arlington. The White Sox just took two of three from the Twins. However, Chicago is still 24 games under the break even mark at 28-52. Dylan Covey has been a pleasant surprise for the Sox, posting a 3-2 record in eight starts with a 2.84 ERA and 1.399 WHIP. The Rangers took two of their from visiting San Diego in IL action. The Rangers will send Yovani Gallardo to the hill. Gallardo is 1-0 with a 7.84 ERA in his two starts. In fact, he's allowed nine runs over 10 1/3 innings with five walks and just seven KO's. Gallardo not pitching near form yet and with that I'll stick with the Sox here tonight. Play Chicago. |
|||||||
06-29-18 | Astros v. Rays +190 | 2-3 | Win | 190 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
The Tampa Bay Rays have improved to 39-41 thanks to a recent 5-1 run. However, they did lose the opener with the Astros on Thursday, 0-1 in a tough loss. Still, this club wins as big dogs, evidenced by their wins over the Nationals (+1.80), Yankees (+1.75), Astros (+2.15)and Yankees (+2.25) all within the last two weeks. So you can get great value with this team as a big dog as they are here today. Wilmer Font is 1-1 in his four starts with a nice 1.69 ERA and 1.063 WHIP. Font has allowed just one run over his last three starts (13 2/3 innings). The Astros start Gerrit Cole who is 9-1 on the season with a 2.56 ERA and 0.899 WHIP. Cole has been hit the last few starts, evidenced by those eight runs he gave up in two starts. This looks like a live dog spot again for these Rays. Take Tampa Bay. |

06-29-18 | Twins v. Cubs -125 | 6-10 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
White Sox and Rangers begin a three-game set here today in Arlington. The White Sox just took two of three from the Twins. However, Chicago is still 24 games under the break even mark at 28-52.

06-27-18 | Rockies v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
The Rockies have lost three straight after losing game one of this series to the Giants on Tuesday, 2-3. This series looks to be a low scoring series in the cold, damp air of San Francisco. Kyle Freeland starts tonight for the Rockies. Freeland is 7-6 on the season with a 3.55 ERA. Freeland has allowed two runs in both his last two starts (13 innings). Freeland has been consistent for Colorado this year, allowing over four runs just one time. The Giants have won three straight games and will turn to Madison Bumbarner tonight. Bumgarner had his best start since returning in June with a eight inning performance and no runs. Bumgarner looks to be in fine form now and I look for this game to go UNDER. |
|||||||
06-27-18 | Indians v. Cardinals UNDER 8.5 | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
The Cardinals look to extend their win streak to five games tonight with a win over the Indians. The Cardinals have taken the first two in this series with the Tribe, outscoring them by a 15-2 margin. Jack Flaherty starts tonight for the red birds. Flaherty is 3-2 in his 10 starts with a nice 2.50 ERA and 1.006 WHIP. Flaherty has allowed just two total runs over his last three starts (18 1/3 innings). The Indians look to avoid the sweep tonight by starting Shane Beiber. Beiber is 2-0 in his three starts. After a shaky first start where he allowed four runs over 5 2/3 innings, Beiber has allowed just one run over his last 12 2/3 innings. Both these pitchers have been very good and the way the Indians offense has left them in this series, I'm going UNDER! |

Play St Louis. |

06-27-18 | Yankees v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
The Yankees are now 2-18 O/U in their last 20 games after last nights win over the Phillies, 6-0. The Yanks have been on an amazing under run despite having one of the most potent linesups in baseball. The Yankees just called up Luis Cessa and he will start tonight. The Yanks hope to get 70-80 pitches out of Cessa tonight. The Yankees have an excellent pen, so no problems there. The bullpen has just a 2.73 ERA this season with 24 saves. Philadelphia has two straight to the Yankees and three overall in a row. The Phils have scored just two runs against the Yankees and not surprisingly, both games went under. Zach Eflin starts tonight with a 5-2 record and 3.44 ERA. I like this game to follow suit and go UNDER. |
|||||||
06-26-18 | Cubs v. Dodgers UNDER 8 | 9-4 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
The Cubs offense has been mired in a bit of a slump. The Cubs have scored three runs or less in seven of their last nine games including last night's loss to the Dodgers, 1-2. Jon Lester has been solid for the club all season long. Lester is 9-2 in his 15 starts with a 2.10 ERA and 1.089 WHIP. Lester has allowed no runs in three of his last four starts and two runs in the other start. That's two total runs in four starts (27 innings). The Dodgers start Ross Stripling today. Stripling is having a fine season with his 6-2 record and 2.37 ERA and 1.000 WHIP. Stripling has allowed two runs or less in eight of his last nine starts. This looks to be another great pitching duel tonight. Take the UNDER |
|||||||
06-26-18 | Nationals v. Rays UNDER 7 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
Nationals offense continues to slump, getting shut out on Monday by the Rays, 0-11. The offense has scored three runs or less in four of their last six games. Today, the Nats send their Ace, Max Scherzer to the hill. Scherzer is 10-3 in his 16 starts with 14 quality outings. Scherzer has a 2.09 ERA with a 0.845 WHIP. In addition, Scherzer has allowed two runs or less in all but one start this year. The Rays are now just two games back of .500 after winning four straight games including a sweep of the Yankees. The Rays send Nathan Eovaldi to the hill today. Eovaldi is just 1-3 on the season with a 4.91 ERA. Eovaldi has just five starts so he's still working some of the issues out. Today I like this game UNDER. Scherzer won't allow much and Eovaldi I look for improvement in each game. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
06-25-18 | Reds +145 v. Braves | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
The Cincinnati Reds have won seven straight games to improve to 32-45 on the season. The Reds swept the Cubs and the Tigers. Today they start Tyler Mahle who is 6-6 on the season with a 3.89 ERA. Mahle has pitched very well of late, allowing just four total earned runs over his last four starts (22 1/3 innings). The Braves snapped a three game losing streak on Sunday with a win over the Orioles, 7-3. Mike Foltynewicz starts today with a 5-4 record and 2.16 ERA. Foltynewicz has been solid most of the season. The Reds are a +1.40 dog here today and with a 7 game win streak, I look for them to be a very good valued dog in this spot. Play the Reds. |

06-25-18 | Blue Jays v. Astros UNDER 7 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
Toronto struggling just to get to .500 in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, the AL East. Toronto starts J.A. Happ today. Happ is having a very good season at 9-3 with a 3.56 ERA and 1.033 WHIP. Happ and the Jays have the unenviable task of facing Justin Verlander today. Verlander is 9-2 with a 1.60 ERA and 0.776 WHIP. Verlander has not allowed more than three runs in any of his 16 starts this season. In fact, Verlander has 15 quality starts. I don't expect the Jays to get but one or two at the most. If Happ can keep the Astros in check, this one will go UNDER |

06-25-18 | Nationals v. Rays -120 | 0-11 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
Washington has not been playing very well of late. The Nationals have lost two of three and seven of their last 10 games. The offense has struggled at times. Gio Gonzalez will start today for the Nats with a 6-4 record, 3.08 ERA and 1.347 WHIP. Gonzalez has struggled in June like the Nationals. Gonzalez has allowed 14 runs in his four June starts over 20 1/3 innings. The Rays have won three straight after sweeping the Yankees. The Rays start Blake Snell today who is 9-4 with a 2.48 ERA and 1.060 WHIP. Snell has allowed one run or no runs in five of his last six starts. Rays playing very good right now and Nats are not. Plus Snell has big edge over Gonzalez. Play the home team, Tampa Bay. |

06-24-18 | Padres v. Giants OVER 8 | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
These two teams play their fourth game of this series today. The Padres look to even the series with a win today. San Diego will start Eric Lauer who is 3-4 in his 11 starts with a 5.47 ERA and lofty 1.843 WHIP. Lauer has walked nine batters in his last three starts (16 2/3 innings). The Giants counter with Dereck Rodriquez who is 2-1 with a 4.87 ERA. Rodriquez has allowed 10 runs over his last 14 2/3 innings. Neither starter is much to boast about here today and I look for both teams to get their hits and runs. Play the OVER. |

06-24-18 | Cardinals v. Brewers -134 | 8-2 | Loss | -134 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
The Cardinals and Brewers play the Rubber match of their series today with the Brewers holding a 2-1 edge. St Louis took game three on Saturday, 3-2. The Brewers will start Jhoulys Chacin today. Chacin is having a fine season with a 6-2 record in 16 starts with a 3.18 ERA and 1.242 WHIP. Chacin has allowed just one earned run over his last two starts (12 1/3 innings). Meanwhile, the Cardinals have lost three of their last four of their last six. Luke Weaver gets the start today for the Red birds. Weaver is 3-6 in 15 starts with a 4.92 ERA. Weaver has allowed 12 earned runs over his last three starts (15 1/3 innings). I like Milwaukee today with Chacin over Weaver. Play the Brewers. |

06-24-18 | Diamondbacks -105 v. Pirates | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
Arizona has won three straight games while Pittsburgh has dropped four in a row. The D'backs can sweep the four game series with the Bucs today, having outscored Pittsburgh 18-6 in the process. Clay Buchholz gets the start for the D'backs with a 1-1 record, 2.14 ERA and 1.040 WHIP. Buchholz has been very good in five of his six starts, allowing two earned runs or less in all six starts. Trevor Williams will start for the Pirates with a 6-4 record, 4.00 ERA and 1.222 WHIP. Williams is coming off his best start in a while, allowing one hit and no runs over seven innings to the Brewers. I still give all the edges in this one to the Diamondbacks. Play Arizona. |
|||||||
06-23-18 | Blue Jays v. Angels -134 | 4-1 | Loss | -134 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
The Angels look to extend their three-game win streak tonight against the Blue Jays. The Angels improved to 41-35 after their recent wins. Jaime Barria will get the start today for the Halos. Barria is 5-3 in his nine starts with a 3.57 ERA. Barria had his worst start of the season last time out, allowing six runs over just four innings. Toronto has lost three of its last four games to drop to 34-41 on the season. They will start Marcus Stroman today who is 0-5 on the season. Stroman hasn't started since May 8th. Stroman has not pitched well, with a 7.71 ERA and a 1.714 WHIP. The Angels should have a big edge here at home over Stroman. Play the home team, play the Angels. |

06-23-18 | Phillies -107 v. Nationals | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
Phillies have now won three straight after their blowout win over the Nationals on Friday, 12-2. The Phils will start Aaron Nola today. Nola is 8-2 with a 2.55 ERA and 1.007 WHIP. Washington has been in a slump, winning just two of their last eight games and three of their last 10 games. Erick Fedde will make just his fourth start this year. Fedde is 0-2 with a 5.63 ERA and 1.375 WHIP. Fedde has not allowed under three runs in any of his three starts. I like the Phillies to take game two here today. They have been playing very well and have the better pitcher on the hill. Play Philadelphia. |

06-23-18 | Diamondbacks v. Pirates UNDER 8 | 7-2 | Loss | -119 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Arizona has taken both games from Pittsburgh to open this four-game series. The D'backs have outscored the Bucs, 11-4. They will start Zack Grienke today who is 6-5 on the season with a 3.90 ERA and 1.167 WHIP. Pittsburgh will try and snap its three game losing streak today with Joe Musgrove on the hill. Musgrove is 2-2 with a 3.68 ERA and 1.262 WHIP. Musgrove has three quality starts in his six outings. Pittsburgh has scored three runs or less in each of its last four games. I don't expect many runs again here today. Play the UNDER. |

06-23-18 | Rangers v. Twins OVER 9.5 | 9-6 | Win | 100 | 2 h 23 m | Show | |
Texas now on a six-game win streak after their opening series win over the Twins on Friday, 8-1. Yovani Gallardo will start today for the Rangers. Gallardo makes just his second start of the season. In his first, he went five innings, gave up six hits and five runs. The Twins have allowed 17 runs in their last two games. Jake Odorizzi will start today with a 3-4 record and 4.38 ERA. Odorizzi has allowed 16 runs over his last four starts for the Twins. This one should be high scoring with two poor pitchers on the hill. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
06-22-18 | Cardinals v. Brewers UNDER 8.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |
Both these teams are very good under teams this year. St Louis is 30-39 O/U on the season while Milwaukee is 29-43 O/U. Jack Flaherty will start for the Cards. Flaherty is 3-2, but has a very good 2.66 ERA with a 1.085 WHIp. He has allowed one or no runs in six of his nine starts. Milwaukee counters with Junior Guerra who is 3-5, but also has an excelletn 2.89 ERA. Guerra has allowed three runs or less in seven straight games. Both these pitchers are better then their respective records indicate. I like this game UNDER tonight. |
|||||||
06-21-18 | Orioles v. Nationals UNDER 7 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Interleague action here tonight has the Orioles playing their close neighbor, Washington. That means the AL O's have to hit their pitchers tonight. The O's are already one of the biggest under teams in baseball at 29-41 O/U on the season. This is because their offense only averages 3.6 runs per game. Don't expect them to get much vs the Nationals' Ace, Max Scherzer. Scherzer is 10-3 with a 2.06 ERA and 0.844 WHIP. Scherzer has not allowed over two runs in any of his last four starts. The O's will start Kevin Gausman. Guasman is 3-6 with a 4.48 ERA. Guasman is coming off nice starts where he's allowed five total runs over 12 2/3 innings. Don't think the O's get many runs here tonight. Play the UNDER. |

06-21-18 | Mariners v. Yankees UNDER 8 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
Seattle lost game two of this series to the Yankees last night, 5-7. That evened the series at one game each. Mariners Ace James Paxton will take the hill today. Paxton is 6-1 in his 15 starts with a 3.44 ERA. Paxton had one of his worst starts of the season last time out, allowing six runs over just 2 1/3 innings to the Red Sox. Still, Paxton has been the most consistent pitcher in the M's rotation this year. The Yankees finally got a game over last night. That broke their string of 14 straight under games. Luis Servino gets the start today at 10-2 on the season. Servino has a very good 2.09 ERA and 0.929 WHIP. Both these pitchers are excellent and to me this game looks like another under for the Yankees. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
06-20-18 | Rangers v. Royals OVER 9.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
The Rangers have won four straight games. The Rangers look to sweep the Royals today, having outscored them 10-4 in the first two games. Austin Bibens-Dirkx will make just his third start of the year tonight. Bibens-Dirkx has not pitched all that well, allowing eight runs in his 11 innings pitched. The Royals will start Jake Junis tonight. Junis is 5-7 with a 4.43 ERA. Junis has been hit hard of late, allowing 12 runs over his last 10 2/3 innings. This one has all the markings of a high scoring game. I'm playing the OVER. |

06-18-18 | Mets -117 v. Rockies | 12-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
The Mets have been a very good under team all season as they are 28-38-2 O/U on the year. A big reason for this is their lackluster offensive output that has accounted for just 3.8 runs per game. The good news is that Ace Jacob Degrom is on the hill today. Degrom is 4-2 in his 14 starts, but has an outstanding 1.55 ERA. In fact, You would have to go back to early April to find that last time Degrom has allowed more than two runs in a game. The Rockies are slumping, losing two straight and eight of their last 10. They will counter today with Tyler Anderson. Anderson is 4-1 with a 4.48 ERA. Anderson has allowed just three runs over his last 14 innings. Don't expect a lot of runs here today with Degrom on the hill. The Mets anemic offense likely won't produce much either. Play the UNDER. |

06-18-18 | White Sox +260 v. Indians | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
The White Sox look to snap a four game losing streak when they visit Cleveland to start a three game series tonight. These teams played just last week and they split their four game series. But what's interesting is that they won one game as a +1.70 dog with tonight's starter, Dylan Covey. Covey is 3-1 on the season with a 1.53 ERA. Covey has allowed two runs or less in each of his six starts this season. The Indians will counter with Trevor Bauer. Bauer is 5-5 on the season with a 2.69 ERA and 1.121 WHIP. Bauer was the loser to Covey the last time these teams met. I'm taking a shot here with Covey again. He's pitched very well and at this price is s live dog. Play the White Sox. |

The Cardinals salvaged the third game of their series with the Cubs, winning on Sunday night, 5-0. They improved to 37-32 on the season as they begin their series with the Phillies. Miles Mikolas has been a pleasant surprise for the Cardinals with his 7-2 record in 13 starts. Mikolas has a nice 2.43 ERA with a 0.961 WHIP. Mikolas has allowed just four total runs over his last three starts (19 innings) with just two walks and 12 KO's. The Phillies took two of three from the Brewers over the weekend, including a shootout on Sunday, 10-9. Nick Pivetta gets the call today. Pivetta is 4-6 with a 4.25 ERA. Pivetta has struggled of late, allowing 10 runs over his last 10 innings and walking four. I like the pitching matchup here as it favors the Cardinals. Play St Louis. |

06-18-18 | Brewers -109 v. Pirates | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
The Brewers look to snap their 2-game losing streak when they start a new series with the Pirates tonight. Milwaukee couldn't hold a lead in Sunday's game with the Phillies, eventually losing a slug fest 9-10. Jhoulys Chacin starts today for the Brewers. Chacin is 6-1 on the season with a 3.32 ERA. Chacin is coming off a four hit, no run performance against the Cubs. The Pirates dropped Sunday's contest to the Reds, 6-8. The loss snapped a modest 3-game win streak. Trevor Williams will start today with a 5-4 record in 14 starts, 4.38 ERA and 1.297 WHIP. Williams has been giving up some runs of late, allowing at least three runs in each of his last five starts. I'm taking the Brewers today with Chacin on the mound. Play Milwaukee |

06-17-18 | Red Sox v. Mariners UNDER 8 | 9-3 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
Boston has had some offensive struggles of late, scoring no runs in their loss last night to the Mariners. In addition, they have scored two runs or less in six of their last 10 games. Eduardo Rodriquez starts today and is 8-1 for the Sox. Rodriquez has a 3.64 ERA and has allowed two runs or less in five straight starts. Seattle counters with Mike Leake today. Leake is 7-3 with a 4.26 ERA. Leake has been very good lately, Allowing two runs or less in each of his last five starts. Both pitchers are throwing very well and I like the UNDER today. |

Angles and A's have split the first two games of this series with the Angles winning Friday and losing Saturday, 4-6. LA will start Andrew Heaney today who is 3-5 with a 3.68 ERA and 1.178 WHIP. Oakland starts Daniel Mengden today with a 6-6 record and 3.90 ERA. Mengden has been hit pretty hard of late, allowing 12 eared runs over his last 8 2/3 innings with seven walks and just four KO's. With the struggles of Mengden of late, I have to side with LA here today. |

06-17-18 | Tigers v. White Sox UNDER 9.5 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
Detroit has been a good under team all season, but lately they have gone under in three of their last four and are 3-9 O/U in their last 12 games. Blaine Hardy starts today with a 2-1 record in his six starts. Hardy has a 3.67 ERA and has allowed two runs or less in all but one of his six starts.

Shields is coming off an excellent start, allowing just one run over seven innings to the Indians. I like these two under teams to play UNDER today. |

06-17-18 | Phillies v. Brewers UNDER 8.5 | 10-9 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
The Phillies improved t0 36-32 with their win last night over the Brewers, 4-1. The will send one of their best starters to the hill today in Aaron Nola. Nola is 8-2 in his 14 starts with a 2.27 ERA and 0.934 WHIp. Nola has allowed one run in each of five starts of his last seven overall games. Nola has been one of the best pitchers for the Phils this year. The Brewers have been a dead under team this year at 27-41 O/U. Chase Anderson starts today with a 5-5 record, 4.13 ERA and 1.167 WHIp. Anderson is coming off one of his best starts of the year, allowing no runs over seven innings to a very good hitting Cubs team. Both teams should be scoring low today and with that I'm going UNDER. |
|||||||
06-17-18 | Reds v. Pirates -140 | 8-6 | Loss | -140 | 2 h 48 m | Show | |
My top play of the day is on the Pirates. Pittsburgh has a three game win streak and looks for the series sweep against the Reds today. The Pirates have been hitting very well of late, scoring nine runs in the two games vs the Reds and 18 runs in the previous series vs Arizona. They will start Joe Musgrove today. Musgrove is 2-1 in his four starts with a 2.16 ERA. The Reds have dropped to 25-45 on the season with their two losses in a row. Anthony Desclafani starts today. Desclafani has just two starts this season, allowing six earned runs over 10 innings. In addition,Desclafani has allowed 16 hits in his 10 innings.

Castillo is 4-7 in his 14 starts with a 5.79 ERA and 1.424 WHIP. Castillo has allowed 13 runs over his last three starts (15 2/3 innings) with seven walks. Neither team starting a very good pitcher, but Nova at least has something to build upon. Castillo has been getting hit hard of late. I look for the Pirates to get their runs tonight vs Castillo. Take Pittsburgh. |

06-16-18 | Nationals -1.5 v. Blue Jays | 0-2 | Loss | -125 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
Washington lost the opener of this three game series last night to the Jays, 5-6. The Nationals dropped to 37-29 on the season. They will send their ace, Matt Scherzer to the hill today. Scherzer is an early candidate for the NL Cy Young award with his 10-2 record, 2.00 ERA and 0.845 WHIP. Scherzer has allowed over two runs just two times in his 14 starts. Toronto improved to 31-38 with their win last night. The Jays start Marco Estrada today. Estrada is 3-6 with a 5.09 ERA this season. Big mismatch here in pitching matchup. I'd be surprised if the Jays even score in this one. Lay the 1.5 runs with the Nationals. |
|||||||
06-16-18 | Astros v. Royals OVER 9.5 | 10-2 | Win | 105 | 2 h 19 m | Show | |
Houston's pitching is one of, if not the best, in baseball. Despite that fact, the Astros have gone over in five straight games thanks to a offense that has scored 41 runs in those games. Dallas Keuchel is only 3-8 on the season and has a 4.45 ERA. Kansas City will start Danny Duffy starts today with a 3-6 record and 5.28 ERA. Neither of these pitchers have been good and the way Houston has been scoring runs, it might be a long night for the Royals. Play the OVER. |

The Tigers have seen their last two games go under and eight of their last 10. It doesn't help that they lost slugger Miquel Cabrera for the season with a bicep injury. Michael Fiers gets the start today against the White Sox. Fiers is 5-3 with a 4.01 ERA. More important is that Fiers has allowed just four runs over his last three starts (18 2/3 innings). The Sox have been a good under team all season, but lately they have seven straight unders and are 0-12-1 O/U in their last 13 games. Reynoldo Lopez may have a losing record at 2-4, but he has a nice ERA of 3.26 and has allowed just one earned run over his last 13 1/3 innings. I like this one to go under. |

06-15-18 | Nationals -125 v. Blue Jays | 5-6 | Loss | -125 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
Washington and Toronto open their series here tonight. The Nationals split their two games with the Yankees, dropping the first and winning the second. Gio Gonzalez gets the start today for the Nats.

They will turn to Aaron Sanchez today. Sanchez is 3-5 with a 4.33 ERA. The Nationals are the much better team while this pitching matchup I put a small edge to Washington too. I'm taking the road team here, play Washington. |

Play the Rays. |

He's been hit pretty hard the last two games, allowing nine runs over 10 innings. The Phillies have gone over in two straight and four of their last five games. They send Vincent Velasquez to the hill with his 4-7 record and 4.95 ERA. Velasquez only went 3 2/3 innings his last start, allowing nine hits and 10 runs! Both these teams should get plenty of runs here today with these pitchers on the hill. Play the OVER. |

Colorado has lost five straight games including their opener with the Phillies last night, 4-5. In addition, the Rockies are just 2-9 in their last 11 games. Tyler Anderson will try and turn around their fortunes tonight. Anderson is 3-1 with a 4.81 ERA and 1.352 WHIp this season. Anderson has had some issues, allowing five earned runs two time in his last four starts. The Phillies has improved to 34-30 with their last two wins. Nick Pivetta will go to the hill tonight with his 4-5 record and 3.76 ERA. Piveta has suffered from run support, getting three runs or less in his last four starts. If Pivetta can get some runs tonight, I like him to win here against a struggling Colorado team. Play the Phillies. |

06-13-18 | Angels v. Mariners UNDER 8 | 6-8 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
The Angels losing streak is now three as they have dropped to 37-31 on the season. They have lost both the first two games with the Mariners, 3-5 and last night 3-6. Even though they have gone over in two of the last three, they are still 3-9-1 O/U in their last 13 games. Garrett Richards will toe the rubber tonight. Richards is 404 with a 3.26 ERA and 1.266 WHIP. Richards has not allowed more than three runs in his last seven starts. Seattle will send Marco Gonzales to the mound tonight. Gonzales is 7-3 in his 13 starts with a 2.92 ERA and 1.230 WHIP. Gonzales has been excellent, allowing just three total runs over his last five starts (33 2/3 innings).

Buchholz has just a 1.88 ERA and 0.833 WHIP. The Pirates have fallen below .500 to just 32-34 after losing seven of their last nine games. Trevor Williams is 5-3 for the Bucs with a 4.18 ERA and 1.239 ERA. However, Williams has allowed at least four runs in each of his last four starts. I like the D'backs tonight with Buchholz as they playing much better of late. |

06-12-18 | Twins v. Tigers -101 | 6-4 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |

Jake Odorizzi starts today for the Twins with a 3-3 reocrd and 4.24 ERA on the season. Odorizzi has allowed 10 earned runs over his last two starts (8 2/3 innings). The Tigers will counter with Blaine Hardy who is 2-1 in his five starts with a 3.81 ERA and 1.235 WHIP. Neither of these teams is outstanding, but the Tigers are at home and they have the better pitcher on the hill. I'm taking Detroit. |

06-12-18 | Nationals v. Yankees UNDER 9 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
The Nationals had a string of 10 straight unders until their recent 3-1 over stint. Still, this team with their excellent starting pitching has been a very good under bet. Today they face one of the best lineups in baseball in the Yankees. Tanner Roark has just a 3-5 record, but he's pitched much better than that with a 3.35 ERA and 1.077 WHIP. Roark has allowed over three runs in just one of his last seven starts. Even with their big hitting lineup, the Yankees have gone under in five straight games, including all three with the Mets. They will send veteran CC Sabathia to the hill tonight. Sabathia is 3-1 in his 11 starts with a 3.59 ERA and 1.179 WHIp. Both these pitchers are good and should keep this a low scoring game. Play the UNDER. |

Eduardo Rodriguez is 7-1 for the Sox with a 3.68 ERA and 1.197 WHIP. Rodriguez has not allowed over two runs in any of his last four starts. The Orioles offense has also been anemic, scoring just seven runs in their last four games and over three runs just once in their last seven games. David Hess will try and keep them close tonight with his 2-2 record and 3.07 ERA. Hess has pitched well, allowing two total runs over his last three starts (18 2/3 innings). I don't see many runs scored by either team here tonight. Could be a repeat of last night's contest. Play the UNDER. |

Seattle will counter with Wade Leblanc who is 1-0 in his seven starts with a 2.29 ERA and 1.160 WHIP. Leblance has allowed more than two runs just once in his seven starts.

Cubs saw all three of their games with the Pirates go under as they scored six total runs. That is six of their last seven games that went under. They will start Jose Quintana today. Quintana is 6-4 with a 4.20 ERA. In addition, he's allowed just two runs in his last 11 2/3 innings. Milwaukee has gone under in five of their last seven games. The Brewers start Junior Guerra today who is 3-4 with a 2.83 ERA. Both these teams and pitchers have been good under plays of late. I'm staying with that and going UNDER. |

Boston lost two of three at home to the White Sox, scoring just six runs in the process. Steven Wright makes just his second start of the year today. His first start was a good one, seven innings vs the Tigers with two hits and no runs. The Orioles have lost four straight games and are now 19-45 on the season. The O's have gone under in 11 of their last 14 games. Dylan Bundy starts today with a 4-7 record in 13 starts with a 4.04 ERA. Both teams have not been playing well, nor scoring all that great either. I look for this one to go UNDER. |

06-10-18 | Yankees -1.5 v. Mets | 0-2 | Loss | -130 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
The Yankees have won four straight games including both games here against their rivals, the Mets. The Yankees won game one 4-1 and took last nights game, 4-3. The Mets continue their anemic hitting ways and it won't get any easier today. The Yankees will start Luis Servino. Servino is 9-1 in his 13 starts with a 2.20 ERA and 0.930 WHIP. Servino has allowed over two runs just one time in his last seven starts and that was just three runs. The Mets losing streak is now eight games. The will look to Seth Lugo today. Lugo only has one start and went four innings, allowed no runs and three hits. Not sure how the Mets will score here tonight. Yankees won't have that problem, I'm laying the run line with the Yankees. |

06-10-18 | Mariners v. Rays UNDER 7 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
Seattle has won seven of their last nine games, though they did lose last night to the Rays, 3-7. James Paxton starts today and has been solid all season. Paxton is 5-1 in his 13 starts with a 2.95 ERA and 1.032 WHIP. Paxton has not allowed over two runs in any of his last four starts. Tampa Bay improved to 29-34 on the season. They will start Nathan Eovaldi today with a 1-1 record in his two starts. Eovaldi has allowed four runs over his 11 innings with eight KO's and 2 walks. Paxton should shut down the Rays tonight and I look for Eovaldi to hang in there with him. Play the UNDER. |

06-10-18 | Indians v. Tigers UNDER 8 | 9-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 37 m | Show | |
The Indians have now gone under in four straight. This after a nice run over over games. The unders are in part to good pitching and not a lot of hitting on the part of Cleveland. They will start ace Corey Kluber today. Kluber is 9-2 in his 13 starts with a 1.96 ERA and 0.851 WHIP. Kluber has produced a quality start in ever game this year. In addition, he's allowed just one run over his last three starts (19 1/3 innings). The Tigers have gone under in six straight games. They will find runs at a premium today against Kluber. So, they will turn to Artie Lewicki to keep them close. Lewicki has just one start this year, going 3 2/3 innings against the Red Sox allowing five hits and four runs. As long as the Indians don't go wild here, I like this one UNDER. |

06-09-18 | Yankees v. Mets UNDER 8.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
I had game one of this Subway series under last night and it didn't disappoint with a Yankees 4-1 win. The Yankees will send Domingo German to the mound tonight. German has just five starts with a 6.33 ERA, bug he's been improving game by game. The Mets have lost seven straight games and their offense has been horrible. The Mets have scored one run or zero runs in six of their last seven games. Steven Matz will start tonight for the Mets with a 2-4 record and 3.42 ERA. Matz has pitched very well of late, allowing just two runs over his last three starts (16 innings). Matz should keep the Mets close, but can they score? I'm just going UNDER once again tonight. |

06-09-18 | Angels v. Twins UNDER 8.5 | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
The LA Angels have been a very good under bet of late, posting a 0-3 o/u mark in their last three games and a 1-8 O/U mark in their last nine games. Pitching has been a big part of that streak. Tyler Skaggs starts today with a 4-4 record and 3.27 ERA and 1.273 WHIP. Skaggs is coming off a six inning effort vs the Rangers where he allowed no runs and four hits over six innings. The Twins are 0-4-1 O/U in their last five games. They send Kyle Gibson to the hill today. Gibson is 1-3 with a 3.54 EA and 1.209 WHIP. Gibson has allowed just two runs over his last 12 2/3 innings. Both teams and pitchers will tend this game to a low scoring one. I'm taking the UNDER. |

Fiers is 5-3 in his 11 starts with a 4.33 ERA and 1.342 WHIP. Fiers has been very good of late, allowing just three runs over his last two starts (11 2/3 innings). Fiers gives a lot of value to this home dog today. I'm taking Detroit. |

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. |

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. |
