07-03-22 | Rangers +128 v. Mets | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 23 m | Show |
The Texas Rangers look to take this three game set with the Mets today. The Rangers won on Saturday as a nice little dog with Perez, 7-3. Today they send Jon Gray to the hill. Gray is 4-3 in his 13 starts with a 3.89 ERA. Gray has been very good, allowing two runs or fewer in four straight games and five of his last six games. He has also won three straight starts, allowing three total runs over 19 2/3 innings. The Mets dropped to 48-30 with their loss on Saturday and have the NL's second best record behind the Dodgers. Carlos Carrasco will start today with a 8-4 record in 15 starts and a 4.74 ERA. Carrasco coming off a pair of bad starts where he allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings to the Astros and five runs in 2 1/3 innings to the Astros. I look at Gray as a very live dog here today in New York. Play Texas. |

07-02-22 | Red Sox v. Cubs OVER 9.5 | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
The Boston Red Sox lost game one of this series with the Cubs on Friday night, 5-6. That dropped them to 43-34 on the season and 13-games back of the Yankees in the AL East. Josh Winckowski will start today for the Sox with a 3-1 record in his four starts and a 3.60 ERA. The Cubs will counter with Alec Mills who will make just his second start of the season. Mills only went 2 2/3 innings in his first start vs St Louis, allowing six hits and five runs. Boston has gone over in their last four Interleague games. The last four of five in this series have gone over and that's what I look for again today. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
07-02-22 | Braves -1.5 v. Reds | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
Reason: The Atlanta Braves had an easy win in game one of this series with the Reds, 9-1. That was the team's third win in four games. The Braves have been very good on the road, winning 12 of their last 15 away games. They are also 22-6 their last 28 games. Spencer Strider has looked excellent for the Braves with a 2-1 record in his six starts and a 4.29 ERA. He is coming off a excellent performance in LA where he went six innings vs the Dodgers allowing no runs and striking out seven. Strider has a fast ball that consistently breaks the 100 mph barrier. The Reds have lost three straight games, getting outscored 11-32 in the process. Their bullpen has also been horrible, posting a 10.64 ERA over their last seven games and a 5.78 ERA overall. That puts more pressure on today's starter, Tyler Mahle. Mahle is 3-6 in his 16 starts with a 4.23 ERA. I don't see this Reds team making much contact vs Strider and his over powering stuff. I'll lay the Run Line with the Braves today. |
|||||||
07-02-22 | Angels v. Astros UNDER 8.5 | 1-9 | Loss | -120 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
If the Angels hoped to make up any ground with 1st place Houston before the All-Star break, well they got off to a bad start last night with a loss, 1-8. That loss dropped them five-games under .500 and no other team in the AL West has a winning record other than Houston. Patrick Sandoval will get the start for the Halos with a 3-2 record after 12 starts and a 2.63 ERA. Sandoval has been one of their most consistent starters, allowing two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts. Sandoval has a tough road considering the Angels are just 10-25 their last 35 games. Meanwhile, Houston looks to put this division away before the All-Star break. The Astros are 17-6 in their last 23 vs the AL West. They are also 23-9 in their last 32 vs the Angels in Houston. Jose Urquidy will start today for the Astros. Urquidy is 6-3 in his last 14 starts with a 4.36 ERA. He's been much better at home with a 2-1 mark in five starts and a 2.51 ERA. I'll take the Astros to continue their dominance in the AL West. |
|||||||
07-02-22 | Rangers +120 v. Mets | 7-3 | Win | 120 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
The Texas Rangers lost game one of this series with the NY Mets on Friday, 3-4. The loss dropped the Rangers to 36-39 and while in 2nd place in the AL West, they are 12.5-games back of the Astros for 1st place. The Rangers have done well in IL games, particularly against the NL East where they are 22-9 their last 31 games. Martin Perez makes the start today for the Rangers with a 6-2 record and 2.22 ERA in 15 starts. He has done well for the most part, though he has the occasional bad start. In his 15 starts he's allowed two runs or fewer in 11 of those games, three runs in two and more than 3 runs just twice. At one time the NY Mets had a nice lead in the AL East. However, that has dwindled to just 3.5 games over 2nd place St Louis. Trevor Williams will get the start today with a 1-3 record in his six starts and a 4.88 ERA. I like to find dogs with value and the Rangers have good value today with a very good pitcher on the hill. Take the Rangers. |

07-01-22 | Angels v. Astros -160 | 1-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
The LA Angels at one time contended for the AL West lead with the Astros. But after a disastrous June that saw their head coach being fired, they now are 12.5 games back of the Astros. The Angels have won of late, going 3-1 in their last four games. Michael Lorenzen gets the start tonight for the Halos. Lorenzez is 6-5 in his 12 starts with a 4.24 ERA. He's been worse on the road with a 2-3 record in five starts and a 6.14 ERA. The Houston Astros look to have little competition in the West, with the Angels and Mariners the closest behind them. Cristian Javier is 5-3 in his 10 starts with a 3.33 ERA. He's been better at home with a 3-2 record in five starts and a 2.45 ERA. Javier has allowed two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts. I'll take the Astros at home here tonight. |
|||||||
07-01-22 | Edmonton Elks v. Hamilton -6 | 29-25 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Two teams in the CFL both looking for their first win of the season. Edmonton Elks are 0-3 and play at the 0-3 Hamilton Tiger-Cats tonight. Edmonton has lost 11 of their last 12 regular season games while Hamilton has lost five of their last nine regular season games. But what stands out for me in this matchup is that Hamilton is 6-1 ATS vs their last seven teams that have a losing record. They are also good at home, going 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 at home. Hamilton has also covered the last four in this series. I'll lay the 6.5 or 7 points here tonight with Hamilton. |
|||||||
07-01-22 | Braves -1.5 v. Reds | 9-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
The Atlanta Braves continue to close the gap in the NL East as they trail the NY Mets by just 3.5-games. The Braves took two of their three games with the Phillies, losing on Thursday. Today they begin their 3-game set at Cincinnati and Max Fried will get the start today. Fried is 7-2 in his 15 starts with a 2.77 ERA. Fried has allowed two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts. Cincinnati has lost two straight games and 10 of their last 13 games. Mike Minor will start today for the Reds. Minor is 1-4 in his five starts with a 7.72 ERA. Minor has allowed at least three runs in each start and at least four runs in four of his starts. I'll lay the Run Line today with the Braves. |
|||||||
07-01-22 | Cardinals v. Phillies OVER 9.5 | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
The St Louis Cardinals have closed the gap in the NL Central to just 1-game behind division leading Milwaukee. The Cardinals begin a tough stretch of games with three at Philly, four at Atlanta and then three at home vs Philly. Miles Mikolas starts today for the Cardinals with a 5-5 record in his 15 starts with a 2.57 ERA. Mikolas has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last four starts. Philly has lost two of their last three games and six of their last 10 games. Bailey Falter makes only his fourth start of the season here tonight. Falter is 0-1 with a 4.26 ERA. The Cardinals do well vs lefties, now 21-7 in their last 28 vs the southpaws. Your free play for Friday is on the OVER. |

07-01-22 | Cardinals -135 v. Phillies | 3-5 | Loss | -135 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
The St Louis Cardinals have closed the gap in the NL Central to just 1-game behind division leading Milwaukee. The Cardinals begin a tough stretch of games with three at Philly, four at Atlanta and then three at home vs Philly. Miles Mikolas starts today for the Cardinals with a 5-5 record in his 15 starts with a 2.57 ERA. Mikolas has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last four starts. Philly has lost two of their last three games and six of their last 10 games. Bailey Falter makes only his fourth start of the season here tonight. Falter is 0-1 with a 4.26 ERA. The Cardinals do well vs lefties, now 21-7 in their last 28 vs the southpaws. I like Mikolas here today for the Cardinals. Play St Louis. |

06-30-22 | BC v. Ottawa +2.5 | 34-31 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Week 4 of Canadian football league action begins tonight as BC takes on the Redblacks from Ottawa. BC is in the tough West where three teams are undefeated, including BC which is 2-0. BC has been dominating thus far, scoring 103 points and allowing just 18. BC has lost seven of their last 10 regular season games however. QB Nathan Rourke has completed 87.8% of his passes for 718 yards and seven TD's. Ottawa looks for their first win after a 0-2 start. QB Jeremiah Masoli has completed 70.8% of his passes for 711 yards and 1 TD. BC looks the better team, but it's early in the season and I had a big upset winner last week with Montreal a small home dog beating Saskatchwan. I look for the same here today as Ottawa gets their first win of the season as a small home dog. Play Ottawa. |
|||||||
06-30-22 | Rays v. Blue Jays OVER 9 | 1-4 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay made a pitching change on Thursday as they now are going with an opener rather than a starter. Openers don't figure to go long and I don't see this one going much more than two innings. That opener is Matt Wisler who has been in three openers this year. He has a 3.17 ERA in those openers with one walk and four KO's. The Jays counter with Yusei Kikuchi who has struggled to a 2-4 record in 14 starts with a 5.08 ERA. He's been even worse of late, going 0-3 over his last seven starts with a 7.30 ERA. The Jays have been a good over team at home, going 14-2 O/U their last 16 on the home turf. With a poor pitcher on the hill and an opener for the Rays, I'll play this one over. |
|||||||
06-30-22 | Dream v. Liberty -4.5 | Top | 92-81 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
Just one game on the WNBA slate tonight and that's the Atlanta Dream playing at the NY Liberty. Both these teams fighting for one of those last playoff spots as the Liberty are in 7th place with a 8-10 record and the Dream are in 9th place with a 8-11 record. The Liberty have won two straight, including their game over the Dream 89-77 at Atlanta. This back-to-back series now changes venues to New York. Atlanta has lost three straight games and seven of their last eight games. New York is 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall games and 7-0 ATS vs the WNBA Eastern Conference teams. The Liberty playing much better here of late. I'll lay the points with New York. |
|||||||
06-30-22 | Yankees v. Astros +120 | 1-2 | Win | 120 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
The New York Yankees bring a four game win streak into today's game at Houston as the two best AL teams clash. The Yankees are coming off a sweep of the Oakland A's as they play Houston just one time here tonight before heading to Cleveland tomorrow. Luis Severino will get the start tonight for the Yankees. Severino is 4-2 in his 13 starts with a 3.38 ERA. He's been slightly worse on the road where he is 3-2 in his five starts with a 4.61 ERA. The Astros have won two straight games and four of their last five. They just got done with a four game split with the Yankees last week. Luis Garcia will start today with a 5-5 record and 3.55 ERA. Garcia didn't get a start against the Yankees last week. The Astros have done well vs the Yankees, taking 13 of the last 19 games in Houston. I'll take them as a small dog here today. |
|||||||
06-29-22 | Astros v. Mets UNDER 8.5 | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 3 h 39 m | Show |
The Astros and Mets play their second game here today from New York. The Astros took Tuesday game, 9-1. Today they get their Ace, Justin Verlander on the mound. Verlander is 9-3 in his 14 starts with a 2.22 ERA. His road ERA has been even better with a 2.04 ERA. Verlander coming off that fine performance over the Yankees where he went seven innings, allowed just four hits and one run. The Mets have lost two straight and four of their last six games. The Mets haven't done well in IL games of late, going 0-5 their last five vs a winning AL team. Taijun Walker will toe the rubber today for the Mets. Walker is 6-2 with a 3.03 ERA in his 12 starts. Two excellent pitchers here today. I look for a low scoring game. Play UNDER |
|||||||
06-28-22 | Orioles v. Mariners UNDER 7.5 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
Baltimore took game one of this series with the Mariners on Monday, 9-2. That makes five wins in their last six games for the O's. It was also their first over game in their last eight games. Dean Kremer will start today for the O's with a 2-1 record in his four starts and a 1.71 ERA and 0.84 road ERA. Kremer has not allowed a run over his last two starts (11 2/3 innings) and just one run over his last three starts (16 2/3 innings). Seattle looks to snap a two-game losing streak here today. They will send Robbie Ray to the hill with a 6-6 record in his last 15 starts and a 4.07 ERA. Ray has been very good though of late, allowing just two runs over his last three starts (20 innings). The M's have also gone under in 13 of their last 16 home games. I'll be on the UNDER here today. |
|||||||
06-28-22 | Astros -115 v. Mets | 9-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
A Couple of first place teams meet here on Tuesday as the Houston Astros and Mets face off from New York. The Astros are 45-27 and 11-games in front of 2nd place LA Angels. Framber Valdez gets the start today and he's been excellent this season with a 7-3 record in 14 games with a 2.90 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 4-1 record and 1.95 ERA. The Mets have seen their lead in the NL East shrink to just 5-games over the Atlanta Braves. Carlos Carrasco will start today with a 8-3 record and 4.31 ERA. He's been hit pretty hard of late, allowing 13 runs over his last three starts (13 1/3 innings). The Astros are 8-1 in their last nine road games vs righties. The Astros have also won the last five games in this series. Take Houston today. |
|||||||
06-28-22 | A's v. Yankees UNDER 8 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
Oakland A's lost the first game of their series with the Yankees on Monday, 5-9. This after leading the Yankees 5-0 in the early innings. The A's will send Frankie Montas to the hill today. Montas has just a 3-7 record but a decent 3.11 ERA. Montas is coming off a fine start vs the Mariners where he allowed no runs over eight innings with just two hits. The Yankees won for the 2nd straight game and their 14th win in their last 18 games. JP Sears will make his second start of the season tonight. His first start he got the win over Baltimore, going five innings and allowing just three hits and no runs. This has been a decent under series with a 4-9-1 O/U mark the last 14 meetings and a 2-5 O/U the last seven in New York. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
06-27-22 | Aces v. Sparks OVER 174.5 | 79-73 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
The Las Vegas Aces lead the WNBA by just a half game over the Chicago Sky. The Aces have the best scoring offense in the league by quite a margin, averaging 91.2 ppg on the season. They also have the best point differential at +8 ppg. Still, the Aces look to rebound from a pair of loss to 2nd place Chicago, 95-104 and to the Washington Mystics, 86-87, both at home. It's the first time all season that the Aces have lost two games in a row. The LA Sparks are in 9th place in the WNBA with a 7-10 record, 2.5 games out of the last playoff spot held by Atlanta Dream. The Sparks allow 86.4 ppg while scoring just 81.7 ppg. This will be their third game against the Aces this season. Vegas won 89-72 and 104-76 in the prior two meetings of the season. I expect Vegas to get back to winning tonight and won't be surprised if they score well over 100 points. I'll take the OVER. |
|||||||
06-27-22 | Orioles v. Mariners UNDER 7.5 | 9-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles saw their four game win streak snapped on Sunday by the Chicago White Sox, 3-4. The O's took three of four games against the White Sox and almost came back last night in the 9th as they scored to make it close. The O's have now gone under in seven straight games. Tyler Wells will start today with a 5-4 record in his 14 starts and a 3.34 ERA. Wells has been very good of late, allowing 1 run over his last two starts (11 innings). The Mariners also had their win streak snapped on Sunday by the Angels, 1-2. That ended a five game win streak. George Kirby will start today with a 1-1 record in his nine starts and a 3.12 ERA. Kirby has also been very good of late, allowing two runs over his last two starts with 12 KO's and just two walks. Looks like a good pitcher matchup here today. I'll take the UNDER. |
|||||||
06-27-22 | Rangers -132 v. Royals | Top | 10-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
The Texas Rangers lost two of their three games to the Washington Nationals. The Rangers keep getting close to the .500 mark, but can't quite get there at 34-37. Martin Perez will try and get them a game close tonight. Perez has been one of the best Rangers' pitchers with a 5-2 record in his 14 starts and a 1.96 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 1-0 record in six starts (all won by the Rangers) and a 1.76 ERA. The Royals are 19 games under the .500 mark at 26-45 on the season. The Royals have lost their last two games to the A's. Kris Bubic will try and get them back in the win column tonight with his 1-4 record over nine starts and a 7.37 ERA. Doesn't look like the odds favor the Royals wit Bubic on the hill. I'll lay the small price on the road with a very good Rangers pitcher in Perez. |

06-26-22 | Mariners +127 v. Angels | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
Seattle Mariners bring a 5-game win streak into today's final game of their series with the LA Angels. They have taken the first two games in this series, 4-3 on Friday and 5-3 on Saturday. Today, Marco Gonzales will look to make it a sweep as he takes to the hill for the M's. Gonzales is 4-7 in his 14 starts with a nice 3.33 ERA. He's allowed two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts and three runs in the other start. The Angels dropped to 34-40 after losing two straight to Seattle. Jose Suarez will make his seventh start of the season for the Halos and is 0-2 with a 5.13 ERA. Not sure why the Angels are such a big favorite here. They play a hot team and their starter isn't as good. I like the value on this Seattle dog today. Play Seattle. |
|||||||
06-26-22 | Sun v. Dream UNDER 163 | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 3 h 29 m | Show | |
The Connecticut Sun are in 3rd place in the WNBA with a 12-6 record, 1.5-games back of Las Vegas. The Sun also have the second best point differential with a +7.8 number. The Sun have the league's third best defense, allowing 78.1 ppg. The Atlanta Dream are 7th in the league with a 8-9 record. The Dream have a -0.8 point differential and average the second fewest points in the league this year at 78.1 ppg. The Sun will try to snap a two-game losing streak here today, scoring just 77 and 63 points in their last two games. Atlanta has dropped five of their last six games. Atlanta will have to rely on their top defensive ranking in the league if they hope to win today. The way this team plays defense it has you taking a look at them in almost every game. I look for a close game, but expect the Dream's defense to keep the score low. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
06-26-22 | Blue Jays v. Brewers OVER 9.5 | 3-10 | Win | 100 | 3 h 38 m | Show | |
The Toronto Blue Jays and Milwaukee Brewers wrap up their three game set here today with the teams having split the previous two games and both going over. The Blue Jays have now gone over in six straight games and 11 of the last 12 games. Jose Berrios will start today for the Jays with a 5-3 record in his 14 starts and a 5.11 ERA. He's been worse on the road where he is 2-3 in eight starts with a 6.70 ERA. Milwaukee has gone over in four straight games. Chi Chi Gonzalez will start today with a 0-1 record in his three starts and a 7.36 ERA. Neither pitcher very good and two above average hitting clubs. This is an over play for me today. |
|||||||
06-25-22 | Tigers v. Diamondbacks -142 | 6-3 | Loss | -142 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
The Detroit Tigers have been slumping recently, despite their win over Arizona on Friday, 5-1. The Tigers are 3-9 in their last 12 games. Alex Faedo will get the start today for Detroit with a 1-4 record in his nine starts and a 4.67 ERA. Faedo has been hit hard in his last two games, allowing 11 runs over his last 7 1/3 innings. Meanwhile, the D'backs will look to break a four game losing skid today. They will turn to Zach Davies who is 2-4 with a 3.96 ERA. Davies has been decent of late, allowing seven runs over his last four starts (26 2/3 innings). I look for the D'backs to break their losing streak today and get back in the WIN column with Davies. Play Arizona. |
|||||||
06-25-22 | Mariners v. Angels UNDER 8 | 5-3 | Push | 0 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
The Seattle Mariners look to extend their win streak to four games here tonight at LA. The M's took game one of this series on Friday night, 4-3. The Mariners best pitcher will be on the hill today in Logan Gilbert. Gilbert is 7-3 in his 14 starts with a 2.39 ERA. Gilbert has allowed three runs or fewer in 13 of his starts this season. The LA Angels have lost three of their four games. Patrick Sandoval will start for the Halos with a 3-2 record in his 11 starts and a 2.70 ERA. He's allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last three starts. Both pitchers are very good and this looks to be a low scoring contest tonight. Play the UNDER. |

06-25-22 | Blue Jays v. Brewers -167 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show |
Interleague action here today has the Toronto Blue Jays taking on the Milwaukee Brewers. Toronto took the opening game of this three-game set on Friday, 9-4. Still, the Blue Jays trying to rebound from a 3-5 stretch their last eight games. Toronto is fighting with Boston in the AL East for 2nd place, as both teams tied right now. Yusei Kikuchi will start for the Jays with a 2-3 record in his 13 starts and a 4.94 ERA. Kikuchi hasn't been great in recent starts, but nothing horrible either. He's allowed either three runs or four runs in each of his last four starts. Milwaukee once held a comfortable lead in the NL Central, but now finds itself tied with St Louis for first place at 40-33. The Brewers have lost three of their last four games, including two of three to the Cardinals. Corbin Burnes will toe the rubber today with a 5-4 record but outstanding 2.31 ERA. Burnes has allowed just two runs over his last two starts (13 innings) with 18 KO's and just two walks. Burnes looks to be back into his form from last year and with that I'll take the Brewers here today. |
|||||||
06-25-22 | Astros v. Yankees UNDER 8 | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
The two best AL teams continue their four game set today in New York. They have split the first two games with the Yankees winning on Thursday, 7-6 and the Astros on Friday, 3-1. Cristian Javier will start for the Astros today with a 4-3 record in his nine starts and a 3.86 ERA. He's been good over his last six starts, allowing two runs or fewer in five of those outings. The Yankees hold a comfortable lead in the AL East with a 52-19 record and 11.5-game lead over the Blue Jays. Gerrit Cole gets the start today for the Yankees. Cole is 6-1 in his 14 starts with a 3.14 ERA. Cole has allowed one run or no runs in three of his last four starts. Looks to be a very good pitcher's duel today. I'll take the UNDER. |

06-24-22 | Phillies -122 v. Padres | 0-1 | Loss | -122 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia Phillies opened their four game set with the Padres by winning on Thursday, 6-2. That snapped a Phillies three-game losing streak. The Phillies will have Aaron Nola on the hill tonight with a 4-4 record in his 14 starts and a 3.11 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 2-3 record in seven starts and a 2.25 ERA. Nola has allowed just two total runs over his last three starts (22 Innings). The San Diego Padres are 1/2 game back of the Dodgers in the NL West. Mackenzie Gore will start for the Padres tonight. Gore is 4-3 in his 10 starts with a 3.86 ERA. Gore has been hard in his last two starts, allowing 14 runs and 14 hits over his last 6 2/3 innings. I'll take the road team here tonight. Play Philadelphia. |

06-24-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche OVER 6 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
The Colorado Avalanche look to put this Stanley Cup away at home tonight in game five. They are up 3-1 after winning at Tampa in game four, 3-2 in OT. If you watched the OT, Colorado dominated. They had fresh legs and it showed. Colorado had eight days off before the Stanley Cup finals compared to just three by Tampa Bay. This Colorado team is too fast and strong for St Louis, especially on fresh legs. If it wasn't for the Tampa Bay goalie, the Rockies could have blown game four open. He has stopped 12 of 13 Colorado break aways in the series and made amazing saves in game four. Only two players on this Colorado team have been on a Stanley Cup champion. All that being said, I believe Colorado wins it tonight and they score big again. I won't lay the big price with the Avs but I will take the OVER. |

06-24-22 | Red Sox -118 v. Guardians | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
The Boston Red Sox look for their fifth straight win as they had to Cleveland tonight for a three-game series. The Red Sox are still way back of the Yankees in the AL East. However, they are just a half game from second place. Nick Pivetta will start today for the Sox with a 7-5 mark in his 14 starts and a 3.31 ERA. He's pitched well of late, allowing two total runs in three of those four starts. The Cleveland Guardians are have closed to within three-games of first place Minnesota. Cal Quantrill will start today for the Guardians. Quantrill is 4-4 in his 12 starts with a 3.77 ERA. Quantrill got hit hard last start, allowing five runs and 10 hits over five innings. I'll take the Red Sox here today. |

06-24-22 | Mets v. Marlins UNDER 7 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
All of a sudden the NY Mets have to look over their shoulder because here comes Atlanta. The Braves have shaved the lead in the NL East to 4-games. It doesn't help their cause that the Mets have lost two straight games. Now they open a three-game series at Miami. The Mets will start Taijuan Walker today. Walker is 5-2 in his 11 starts with a 2.88 ET. Walker has been very good in his last two starts, allowing two total runs over 12 2/3 innings with 19 KO's and just two walks. Meanwhile Miami has won three straight games and will send their best pitcher to the hill in Sandy Alcantara. Alcantara is 7-2 in his 14 starts with a 1.72 ERA and an even better 1.36 home ERA. How consistent has he been? How about allowing two runs or fewer in 13 of his 14 starts this season. This looks like a dead under play to me today. |

06-23-22 | Mystics +4.5 v. Storm | 71-85 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
The No 4 and No 5 teams in the WNBA meet tonight as the 4th place Seattle Storm host the 5th place Washington Mystics. Seattle has won seven of their last 10 games but has just a 1.6 Point differential this season. The Washington Mystics are 5-5 in their last 10 games and have a better +4 point differential. What I believe is the key to this game tonight is the No 1 defense in the league by Washington. These teams are pretty even, but I can take the best defensive team getting points I will take that. Play Washington. |

06-23-22 | Phillies v. Padres -145 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -145 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
The Philadelphia Phillies open their series tonight with the Padres after losing three straight games. They were also outscored in those games, 5-20. The Phils are now just two games above the .500 mark at 36-34, 8.5-games back of the Mets. Ranger Suarez will start today for the Phillies. Suaraz is 5-4 in his 13 starts with a 4.43 ERA. The Padres remained two-games in first in the NL West after winning three games in a row. The Padres Ace so far will get the start tonight in Joe Musgrove. Musgrove is 8-0 in his 12 starts with a 1.59 ERA. He has allowed just two runs over his last three starts (21 innings). In fact, in all 12 starts this year Musgrove has allowed two runs or fewer. Another great spot for Musgrove to work toward that NL Cy Young tonight. Play The Padres. |

06-23-22 | Saskatchewan v. Montreal +3 | 13-37 | Win | 100 | 8 h 0 m | Show | |
Week 3 action in the CFL finds the unbeaten Saskatchewan Rough Riders taking on the winless Montreal Alouettes. Coby Fajardo has been playing very well at QB for The Riders, completing 72.4% of his passes for 558 yards and two TD's. The ground game has also been good, averaging 129.5 yards per game. Montreal has lost five of their last six regular season games. Vernon Adams has completed 55.6% of his passes for 264 yards, 1 TD and 2 INT. Montreal is a home dog here tonight and they are really in a must win position. Lose and they go to 0-3 on the season. I'll take a chance with a home dog in the CFL. Play Montreal. |

06-23-22 | Astros v. Yankees UNDER 8 | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
A possible preview of the AL Championship series here tonight as the 1st place AL West Houston Astros take on the 1st place AL East Ny Yankees. This is a four game series and both teams have been hot. The Astros have won three straight games and six of their last seven. Framber Valdez starts tonight for the Astros with a 7-3 record and 2.78 ERA. HE's been great on the road with a 4-1 record in his seven away starts and a 1.61 ERA. Valdez has just one start this year where he allowed more than three runs in a game and that was way back on April 19th. The Yankees have won 11 of their last 13 games. Jameson Taillon will start tonight. Taillon is 8-1 in his 13 starts with a 2.70 ERA. Taillon is coming off a start where he allowed no runs over 5 2/3 inning to Toronto. Both starters are very good and I will take a shot on the UNDER with these pitchers tonight. |

06-22-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning UNDER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Game four of the NHL Finals saw the Tampa Bay Lightning get a win on the board in game three in Tampa. The Lightning lost game one in OT, 3-4 and then got blown out in game two, 0-7 before winning in big fashion in game three, 2-6. All three games have gone over and that's no shock considering the speed and offensive prowess of these Colorado Avalanche. Even though the Avs scored just two goals last game, they had at least four games in nine of their previous 10 games. To show how Colorado has dictated the pace in the finals, the Lighting were a good under play through the early rounds of the playoffs. But since they have faced Colorado all three games are over. Will Colorado rebound tonight? One thing they have going for them is that Tampa Bay Right Wing Nikita Kucherov is nursing an injury, though he is probable tonight. I look for Colorado to get back to their scoring ways tonight, which means that Tampa will have to keep pace. I like the OVER in game four. |

06-22-22 | Tigers v. Red Sox -126 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
The Detroit Tigers look to snap their two-game losing streak here today against the Red Sox. The Sox took game one by a 5-2 mark and game two by a 5-4 mark. The Tigers have lost eight of the last 10 games. Tarik Skubal will toe the rubber today for Detroit with a 5-4 record in his 13 starts and a 2.89 ERA. Skubal has been hit pretty hard his last two outings, giving up nine runs over nine innings and losing both games as the Tigers got zero total runs of support for him. Boston continues to move up in the AL East. What once looked like a disaster has now turned into a 38-31 season as they sit in second place in the division, a 1/2 game ahead of Tampa Bay Rays. The Sox have won three straight games and seven of their last nine games. Michael Wacha will start today for the Sox. Wacha is 5-1 in his 11 starts with a 2.28 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 2-1 record in five starts and a 1.03 ERA. I'll take Boston today as they continue to improve on the season. |
|||||||
06-22-22 | Dodgers v. Reds UNDER 9 | 8-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
The LA Dodgers have fallen two games back of the Padres in the NL West, thanks to a recent stretch that has seen the team go 4-5 over their last nine games. One of the Dodgers undefeated starters go today in Tyler Anderson who is 7-0 on the season. Anderson has been a shining star in the Dodgers starting rotation. He has a 2.90 overall ERA and 1.000 WHIP. He has allowed two runs or fewer in five of his last six starts and the team has won all six of his last starts. The Reds had that horrendous start to the season and now are in another losing streak, five games now. Luis Castillo will try and get the team a "W" today with a 2-4 overall record in his eight starts. Castillo has a 3.33 ERA but slightly higher 4.50 ERA at home. Castillo has very consistent, allowing three runs or f fewer in every start this year. I like these pitchers to keep the score low tonight. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
06-22-22 | Blue Jays -110 v. White Sox | Top | 9-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 54 m | Show |
The Toronto Blue Jays look to salvage game three of this series finale with the White Sox here today. The Jays have lost the first two games, each by a run, 7-8 on Monday and 6-7 on Tuesday. Ross Stripling will look to change that here today. Stripling is 2-2 in his eight starts with a 3.03 ERA. He's been excellent of late, allowing just two runs over his last three starts (14 2/3 innings). The White Sox and Guardians both making moves in the AL Central on what looked like a Twins runaway. The Sox are at .500 with a 33-33 record after winning six of their last eight games. Lucas Giolito will start today with a 4-3 record in his 11 starts and a 4.78 ERA. Giolito got roughed-up in his last start, allowing seven hits and eight runs over five innings of work. That makes 14 runs allowed over his last three starts (16 innings). I'll take the Jays here today as I look for them to avoid the sweep. |
|||||||
06-21-22 | Diamondbacks v. Padres UNDER 7 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
Arizona and San Diego play the second of their three game set here tonight in Southern Cal. The D'backs lost the first game on Monday, 1-4. They will look to Zac Gallen today to get them back on track. Gallen has been very good for the D'backs, going 4-2 in his 12 starts with a 2.91 ERA. He's coming off a seven inning performance vs the Reds where he allowed just two hits and two runs over seven innings. The Padres are in 1st in the NL West, two games ahead of the Dodgers. This despite losing three of their last four games. Sean Manaea will start today with a 3-3 record and 3.95 ERA. Manaea had back-to-back starts that were excellent, allowing just two total runs over 13 innings. Then he hit a snag last time out, allowing five runs over four innings. I look for Manaea to rebound here today as this game goes under. |
|||||||
06-21-22 | Royals v. Angels UNDER 9 | 12-11 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
Kansas City won their fourth win over their last five games with the victory over the Angels on Sunday, 6-2. It was their sixth straight game that has gone under the total. Jon Heasley will start today for the Royals with a 1-3 record and a 3.72 ERA. He's been very consistent, allowing three runs or fewer in all seven of his starts this year. The Angels had their three game win streak snapped yesterday by the Royals. They have also been a good under team with four straight games going under and eight of their last nine going under. Reid Detmers will start today for the Angels with a 2-3 record in his 11 starts and a 4.25 ERA. He's been better at home with a 2-2 record in six home starts with a 2.70 ERA. Detrmers had gone 8 2/3 innings with no runs allowed before his last start where he gave up four runs over 3 2/3 innings vs the Dodgers. Both these teams have been such good under plays and now they face each other. I'll take the UNDER. |
|||||||
06-20-22 | Diamondbacks v. Padres UNDER 7 | 1-4 | Win | 105 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
The Arizona Diamondbacks performing much better then many people expected. The D'backs are 32-36 after beating Minnesota on Sunday, 7-1. The have won three of their last four games to inch within that .500 mark. Zach Davies will start today for the D'backs with a 2-3 record and 3.78 ERA. He's pitched very well in recent starts, allowing just three total runs over his last three starts (20 2/3 innings). That includes 20 KO's against just three walks. The San Diego Padres lead the NL West, 1.5-games over the LA Dodgers with the Giants aren't far back. The Padres maintained their hold on the top spots despite being swept in Colorado in three-straight games. Yu Darvish will toe the rubber the today for the Padres. Darvish is 6-3 in his 12 starts with a 3.34 ERA. He's been very good at home, posting a 3-1 record in his five starts with a 1.35 ERA. Darvish has allowed more than two runs in just one of his last five starts. This game looks to be low scoring and I'll be on the UNDER here late tonight. |

06-20-22 | Cardinals +158 v. Brewers | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
The St Louis Cardinals have caught the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central as both teams now 38-30. They begin a pivotal four-game set here today in Milwaukee. St Louis will send Miles Mikolas to the hill today. Mikolas is 5-4 in his 13 starts with a 2.62 ERA. He's coming off an excellent start against Pittsburgh, allowing one hit over 8 2/3 innings with no earned runs and just one walk and six KO's. Milwaukee is fresh off their sweep of Cincinnati. They will send Corbin Burnes to the mound today. While Burnes record is just 4-4, he has pitched well overall with a 2.52 ERA. Occasionally this season, Burnes will have some bad outings like he did on June 3 vs the Padres where he allowed five runs over 3 2/3 innings. Both these pitchers have the ability to go out and shut out the other team. However, getting the Cardinals at this nice dog price is too much for me to pass on today. Play St Louis. |

06-20-22 | Yankees v. Rays UNDER 6.5 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
The NY Yankees finally had their winning streak snapped at nine games in the last 10 and 16 of the last 17 with a loss to Toronto on Sunday, 9-10. Now the Yankees head to Tampa Bay to face the Rays. Gerrit Cole gets the start today for the Yankees with a 6-1 record in his 13 starts. Cole has a 3.33 ERA and is coming off a five hit, no run outing vs the Rays on June 14th where he got the win, 2-0. Cole has not been consistent though, he's had two of his last three games where he allowed no runs but in between he gave up seven runs to the Twins. Tampa Bay lost two of their three games at Baltimore over the weekend. They are now 1-5 in their last six games and 2-7 in their last nine games. Shane McClanahan has been their best starter with a 7-3 record in his 13 starts and a 1.84 ERA. He has allowed two runs or fewer in eight straight starts. He also has excellent control with just eight walks over his last eight starts. This is one pitcher who should be able to keep the big hitting Yankees in check. If Cole pitches like he has in two of his last three outings, this will be a low scoring game. Take the UNDER. |

Shane McClanahan has been their best starter with a 7-3 record in his 13 starts and a 1.84 ERA. He has allowed two runs or fewer in eight straight starts. He also has excellent control with just eight walks over his last eight starts. This is one pitcher who should be able to keep the big hitting Yankees in check. I'll take a shot with the live home dog and better pitcher. Take Tampa Bay. |

06-19-22 | Angels v. Mariners -156 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -156 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
The LA Angels have taken three of the first four games in this series with the Mariners after Saturday's win. 3-0. The Angels are still 8.5 games back of the Astros in the NL West. The Angels will call up Kenny Rosenberg today to get his first start of the season in the majors. He has made one bullpen appearance this year with the Angels. In his five starts at Triple-A Salt Lake, he has a 1.73 ERA. Seattle has two straight games and four of their last five games. The M's best pitcher, Logan Gilbert, gets the start today. Gilbert is 7-2 in his 13 starts with a 2.34 ERA. Gilbert has a big edge for the M's on the hill today. I'll lay the steep price with Seattle and Gilbert. |

06-19-22 | Royals -140 v. A's | 0-4 | Loss | -140 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
The Royals looking for the sweep here in Oakland today. KC took the first two games of this series, holding the A's to just one total run. Brady Singer will start today for the Royals with a 3-1 record in his six start and a 3.89 ERA. He has pitched very well in five of his six starts, allowing three runs or fewer. It's just the one start on June 3 vs the Astros where he gave up seven runs over five innings that has hurt his ERA. The Oakland A's continue to flounder, losing their 2nd game in row last night and their 15th loss in their last 17 games. Jared Koenig makes his third start of the season today for Oakland. Koenig is 0-2 with a 11.25 ERA and has yet to go past four innings in either start. He has also allowed four walks against six KO's. Looks like KC will get the sweep here today as Koenig has yet to look very good. Take Kansas City. |

The Tampa Bay Rays snapped a four game losing streak on Friday with their win over Baltimore, 7-6. The Rays are dropping fast in the AL East, now 13-games back of the Yankees and 2-games back of 2nd place Toronto. Corey Kluber will get the start for the Rays. Kluber is 3-3 in his 12 starts with a 3.50 ERA. He's pitched very well of late, allowing three runs or fewer in each of his last six starts. The Orioles won't be going anywhere this year, but they have played better of late. The O's have won five of their last eight games. Jordan Lyles will start today with a 4-5 record in his 13 starts and a 5.10 ERA. Lyles has been hit pretty hard of late, allowing 14 runs over his last 15 1/3 innings of work. I'll take Tampa Bay here today. |

06-19-22 | Phillies -1.5 v. Nationals | 3-9 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia Phillies look for the 5-game sweep of the Nationals here today after their win on Saturday, 2-1. They have outscored the O's thus far, 25-12. Zach Eflin will get the start today for the Phils. Eflin is 2-4 this season in 11-starts with a 4.28 ERA. He has pitched well in his last three starts, allowing five total runs over 18 innings. Washington is in last in the NL East with a 23.46 record and have lost eight straight games and 11 of their last 13 games. Jackson Tetreault makes his second start of the season after a pretty disastrous one in his first start. Tetreault allowed nine hits an seven runs over four innings vs the Braves. The Phillies should sweep here today and likely in a blowout win. |

06-18-22 | Guardians v. Dodgers UNDER 8.5 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
The Guardians and Dodgers continue their series here from Chavez Ravine after the Indians took game one last night, 2-1 as a +230 underdog. Cleveland has slowly been gaining ground on first place Minnesota, now just one game back in the loss column and 3.5-games overall. Cal Quantrill will make the start today for the Guardians. Quantrill is 4-3 in his 11 starts with a 3.38 ERA. He has been very consistent, allowing three runs or fewer in 10 of his 11 starts this season. The Dodgers will counter with Julio Urias, who is 3-6 in his 12 starts this season and a 2.80 ERA. Urias has allowed three total runs over his last two starts (11 1/3 innings) with 14 KO's and three walks. I look for another low scoring game here tonight. Play UNDER. |

06-18-22 | Phillies -1.5 v. Nationals | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
The Philadelphia Phillies opened this five game set with the Nationals by taking the first three games, including both ends of yesterday's doubleheader. In fact, they have outscored the Nationals by a 23-11 margin thru the first three games. The Phils will send Aaron Nola to the hill today with a 4-4 record over his 13 starts and a 3.42 ERA. He's been slightly better on the road with a 2-3 record in six starts and a 2.70 ERA. Nola has allowed just two total runs over his last two starts (15 innings) with 12 KO's and no walks. In fact, Nola is one of the best control pitchers in baseball with no walks over his last 29 1/3 innings. The Nats have dropped to 22-games under the .500 mark with a 23-45 record. They have lost seven straight and 10 of their last 12 games. Josiah Gray will get the start today for the Nats. Gray is 6-4 with a 4.33 ERA, though that ERA shoots up to 7.14 in his six home starts. Gray has been very good of late, allowing just two total earned runs over his last three starts (16 innings). However, unlike Nola, he's allowed eight walks over his last 16 innings. Hard to find any reason to back the Nats, though Gray is one pitcher you could make a case for. Still, Philly hitting the ball great and Nola doesn't walk batters and that means his team wins the games for him. I'll take Philly again today on the Run Line. |

06-18-22 | White Sox v. Astros UNDER 8 | 7-0 | Win | 105 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
The Chicago White Sox have pulled to withing one game of the .500 mark at 30-31. They still trail 1st place Minnesota by 5-games, but have been closing the gap. The Sox had their three game win streak snapped yesterday with a loss at Houston, 3-13. Johnny Cueto will toe the rubber today for the White Sox. Cueto is 0-3 in his five starts, but has a nice 3.23 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 0-1 mark in three starts and a 1.50 ERA. The Houston Astros are pulling away in the AL West with a 40-24 record after their Friday win. They lead 2nd place LA Angels by 10-games now. The Astros will have their ACE on the hill today in Justin Verlander. Verlander is 8-2 in his 12 starts with a 1.94 overall ERA and 1.65 home ERA. If you throw out that one start where he allowed six runs, then he has allowed four total runs in six of the last seven games. I expect Verlander to keep this score very low here on Saturday. Play the UNDER. |

06-18-22 | Yankees v. Blue Jays UNDER 8.5 | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
Reason: The Yankees assault on the AL East continues as they have now won eight straight games, including a sweep over AL contender Tampa Bay and an open win over Toronto on Friday, 12-3. Jameson Taillon will start today for the Yankees. Taillon is 7-1 in his 12 starts with a very solid 2.93 ERA. In his 12 starts, Taillon has allowed over three runs just one time and that was a four run outing. Toronto has lost two straight after their loss on Friday night. The Jays are now 11-games back of the Yankees in the AL East. Alek Manoah will start today for the Jays with a 8-1 record in his 12 starts and a 1.67 ERA. Manoah right now looks to be a key contender for a AL Cy Young the way he's pitching. He's allowed no runs over his last two starts (12 innings) and more than two runs just one time all season (3 runs on June 2). This looks to be a great pitching matchup today and I'll be on the UNDER in what looks to be low scoring. |

The NY Yankees continue to roll through the NL East, winning seven games in a row after sweeping the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees took the three-game set from the Rays allowing just four total runs in the process. Jordan Montgomery will get the start today for the Yankees. Montgomery is 2-1 in his 12 starts with a 2.70 ERA and 0.975 WHIP. He's been very consistent, allowing two runs or fewer in 10 of his 12 starts and just three runs in the other two starts. The Blue Jays are 37-26 overall, but still trail the Yankees by 10-games in the AL East. Ross Stripling will get the start today. Stripling is 2-1 in his seven starts with a 2.81 ERA. He's also been very good, allowing no runs over his last two starts with just two total hits (11 innings). Both these pitchers should keep this game very low scoring and as such, I'll be on the UNDER today. |

The Philadelphia Phillies had little issues with the Nationals in game one of their four game series that began on Thursday, beating them 10-1. The Phillies are now 33-31 overall as they try to make up ground on the 1st place Mets. These clubs play a doubleheader here on Friday with this being the early contest. Ranger Suarez will start game one with a 4-4 record in his 12 starts and a 4.40 ERA. He's pitched well of late, allowing two runs in each of his last three starts. The Nationals have lost five straight games as they have dropped to 23-43 and last place in the NL East. Joan Adon will start today and he's had a rough season thus far with a 1-10 record in 12 starts and a 6.95 ERA. He allowed eight runs and seven hits over just three innings in his last start at Miami. I had the Phillies on the Run line yesterday, I see no reason to change that here today. Take the Phillies in game one on the Run Line. |

The Boston Celtics went into Game 5 saying that they weren't going to let Steph Curry beat them like he had in previous games. They did just that, keeping Curry under check and keeping Curry from hitting a 3-point shot for the first time in is playoff career. However, Wiggins went off on the Celtics and so did Thompson as other stepped in to lead Golden State to the win and cover in game 5. Tonight, the venue moves back to Boston as the Warriors can win the NBA Championship on the road here tonight. I have hit my last four NBA playoff selections including my last two NBA Totals. Tonight, I see another physical, low scoring game. I won't get involved with the line here tonight. Rather I'll be on the UNDER. |

The Philadelphia Phillies trail the NY Mets in the NL East by 8.5-games as they sit at 32-31 overall. The Phillies won two of their three games vs Miami, including last night's contest 3-1. Today, they hit the road for a series at Washington. Zack Wheeler will get the start for the Phils today. Wheeler is 5-3 in his 11 starts with a 2.84 ERA. He has been very consistent, allowing three runs or fewer in each of his last eight starts. Washington looks to snap a four-game losing streak here today. They have also lost seven of their last nine games. Pat Corbin gets the start with a 3-8 record in his 13 starts and a 6.65 ERA. He's been hit hard, allowing four runs or more in four of his last six starts. I like Philly a lot today, so I'll have to lay the Run Line to get the price down. |

06-16-22 | Padres -1.5 v. Cubs | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
The Chicago Cubs continue their slide, now at a 9-game losing streak. They play their final game here today at Wrigley against the Padres after dropping the first two games by a combined 10-31 score! In fact, they have allowed 12 runs or more in three of their last four games. Matt Swarmer will make his fourth start of the season here today. Swarmer is 1-1 with a 4.24 ERA. He did allow six runs and seven hits in his last start at the Yankees. The Padres are in 1st place in the NL West, leading the Dodgers now by 1-game with a 40-24 record. In addition, the Padres have the best road record in baseball. Today they get their best pitcher on the hill in Joe Musgrove. Musgrove is 7-0 in his 11 starts with a 1.50 ERA. He has allowed just one run over his last four starts (27 innings). I'll lay the run line today with the Padres as they should win another blowout contest with the Cubs. |

06-15-22 | Angels v. Dodgers UNDER 9 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
The Freeway series begins game one tonight as the LA Dodgers host the LA Angels from Chavez Ravine. Both teams struggling, especially the Angels who have lost two straight and 17 of their last 19 games. The losing streak cost HC Joe Madden his job after 12 straight losses. The Angels will send Reid Detmers to the mount tonight. Detmers is 2-2 in his 10 starts with a 3.83 ERA. Detmers has been very good of late, allowing no runs over his last 8 2/3 Innings. The Dodgers fell out of first place by virtue of a 3-6 stretch their last nine games. One of their better pitchers will take the mound tonight in Tyler Anderson. Anderson is 6-0 in his nine starts with a 3.20 ERA. Anderson has been a bright spot for a Dodgers rotation that has been struggling with injuries this year. I'm going to take the UNDER here tonight in game one of the Freeway series. |

06-15-22 | Rays +130 v. Yankees | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
The Tampa Bay Rays can make up some ground in the AL East over the 1st place Yankees as they begin a 3-game series here tonight in New York. The Rays are 35-26, but still trail NY by 10-games. They also have to think about Wild Card too at this point and they trail 2nd place Toronto by just 1-game. The Rays most successful pitcher will go today in Shane McClanahan who is 7-2 in his 12 starts with a nifty 1.87 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 2-1 record in his three starts and a 1.47 ERA. McClanahan has won five straight starts! The Yankees bring a 5-game win streak into tonight's contest. New York will start Nestor Cortes who is 5-2 in his 11 starts with a 1.96 ERA. Cortes had one of his worst starts last time out, allowing seven hits and four runs over 4 1/3 innings to the Twins in a loss. Good live dog here today with the Rays who should be motivated to get this win with their best on the hill Play Tampa Bay. |

06-15-22 | Reds v. Diamondbacks UNDER 8.5 | 4-7 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
The Cincinnati Reds look to extend their modest win streak to four games here tonight by sweeping the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Reds have taken the first two games of this series 5-4 and then last night 5-3. Luis Castillo will take to the hill for the Reds with a 2-4 record in his seven starts and a 3.23 ERA. Castillo has been very consistent for the Reds, allowing three runs or fewer in six of his seven starts. Arizona has lost two straight and eight of their last 11 games. Zac Gallen has been very good this year with a 4-2 record in his 11 starts and a 2.95 ERA. He's been better at home with a 2-0 record in his six starts and a 2.57 ERA. Both pitchers are very good and I expect a low scoring game here this evening. Play UNDER. |

The Padres have pulled back to a tied in 1st place in the NL West with the LA Dodgers. The Padres have won seven of their last 10 while the Dodgers are just 4-6 during the same span. The Padres still boast the best road record in baseball with a 21-11 mark. Sean Manaea will toe the rubber today for the Padres with a 3-3 record in his 11 starts and a 3.52 ERA. Manaea has been very good of late, allowing just two total runs over his last two starts (13 innings). The Cubs have been in free fall, losing seven straight games to drop to 23-37 on the season. Kyle Hendricks will start today for the Cubs with a 2-5 record in his 11 starts and a 5.22 ERA. Hendricks not having near the kind of season we are used to seeing from him in recent years. I'll be on the Padres today again. |

06-14-22 | Marlins v. Phillies -141 | Top | 11-9 | Loss | -141 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
The Miami Marlins look to snap a recent 2-game losing streak here today in game two of their set with the Phillies. They lost on Monday with their best pitcher on the mound, 2-3. Now they will send Trevor Rogers to the hill today. Rogers is 3-5 in his 11 starts with a 5.58 ERA. He's allowed seven earned runs over his last 8 2/3 innings of work. The Philadelphia Phillies finally got back over the .500 mark as they have won as they have won 10 of their last 11 games. Zach Eflin is just 2-4 with a 4.09 ERA but has won his last two starts with just one earned run allowed over 12 innings. Eflin has been very good at home too, going 2-1 in his five starts with a 1.16 ERA. I'll take the hot Phils today with a equally hot Eflin on the hill. |

06-13-22 | Celtics v. Warriors -165 | 94-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
Game 5 of the NBA Finals tonight as they move venues back to Northern Cal. The teams have traded punches thus far with Boston winning games one and three, both S/U and ATS. The two games that the Warriors won, game two and four, both also went under the total. The Warriors defense is what has gotten them wins and with that defense has come the under in the game too. Tonight, the winner will be down to winning one of the final two games. That makes this a pivotal contest for both teams, since neither team has won two-in a row yet. I look for this game to be very physical and low scoring. I have to give the edge here tonight to the home team and with that I'll be on Golden State with the MONEY LINE, just to WIN. |

The Miami Marlins had their five game win streak snapped on Sunday by the Houston Astros, 9-4. The Marlins have improved to 27-31 in the NL East, still way behind the NY Mets. One of, it not the best, pitcher for the Marlins goes today in Sandy Alcantara. Alcantara is 6-2 in his 12 starts this year with a very good 1.61 ERA and 0.944 WHIP. Alcantara has not allowed a run over his last two starts (16 innings) and just three runs over his last six starts. The Phillies dropped back to the .500 mark with a loss on Sunday. They are still 9-games back of the Mets in the NL East. That loss on Sunday snapped a nine-game win streak for the Phillies. Aaron Nola will start today with a 4-4 record in his 12 starts and a 3.50 ERA. Nola rebounded from a poor 5-run performance vs the Giants with a nice eight inning, no runs outing vs the Brewers last start. I like Alcantara, he's very consistent and very good. Play Miami. |

06-12-22 | Marlins v. Astros UNDER 7.5 | 4-9 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
The Miami Marlins have quietly built a five-game winning streak as they look to take the sweep on the road here today at Houston. They beat the Astros in game one, 7-4 and then again yesterday in game two, 5-1. Edward Cabrera will look to win again today after going 2-0 in his first two starts. Cabrera has a 0.75 ERA and 0.750 WHIP and has allowed just one earned run over his 12 innings of work. Cabrera and the Marlins will have their work cut out for them today against former Cy Young winner Justin Verlander. Verlander is 7-2 on the season with a 2.13 ERA and. 0.84 WHIP. Verlander had that one bad start on May 27th, allowing six runs and 10 hits over 6 innings to the Mariners. Other than that he has not allowed more than three runs in any of his other 10 starts. I look for this to be a low scoring game today and with that I'll be on the UNDER. |

06-12-22 | Rays -113 v. Twins | Top | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show |
The Tampa Bay Rays have lost the first two games of this series with the Twins, 4-9 on Friday and 5-6 on Sunday. That drops them to 34-25 overall and a 1/2 game back of the Blue Jays for 2nd in the AL East. Before the two losses, the Rays had won six of the previous eight games. Jeffrey Springs will get the start today with a 1-2 record in his seven starts. Springs has a very nifty 2.12 ERA and 1.000 WHIP. He's allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last six starts since his opening start of three runs. Minnesota will look to Cole Sands to help them take the sweep here today. That might be a tough task though since Sands only has two starts and neither was any good. He allowed four runs over four innings to the Tigers and four runs over 3 2/3 innings to the Yankees for a 9.39 ERA. In addition, his WHIP is a very high 2.477. Tampa Bay is too good with too good of a pitcher today to get swept. Take Tampa Bay. |

Baltimore and Kansas City wrap up their four-game set here today with the Royals having won the first two games and the Orioles the game on Saturday, 6-4. Two of the three games of the series have gone over with the third just missing by one run. Dean Kremer will make his second start of the season here today for the O's. Kremer allowed five hits and three runs over 4 1/3 innings in his first game against Cleveland. The Royals will start Brad Keller here today. Keller is 1-7 in his 11 starts with a 4.18 ERA. Keller hasn't been very good, allowing three runs or more in each of his last six starts. I like this game to go OVER here today. |

06-12-22 | Blue Jays v. Tigers +124 | 6-0 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
The Toronto Blue Jays are 10-games above the .500 mark at 34-24, however they still trail the NY Yankees in the AL East by 8.5 games. They will need a winning streak if they hope to get back close to the Yankees by the All-Star break. They have split the first two games with the Tigers, taking game one, 10-1, and then losing last night 1-3. Ross Stripling will get the start today for the Jays. Stripling is 1-1 in his six starts with a 3.46 ERA. Stripling has been good, but aslo has hit some rough patches. While the Tigers are 10-games under .500 with a 24-34 record, they might be one of the scrappiest teams in baseball. They have won three of their last four games including last night's win. They have their best pitcher on the mound here today in Tarik Skubal. Skubal is 5-2 in his 11 starts with a 2.06 ERA. The team is 4-1 in his five home starts with a 2.10 ERA. Skubal is going to have his team in the game and a s decent dog price here today, the Tigers are too much to pass on. Play Detroit. |

The Boston Red Sox had their seven game win streak snapped by the Angels on Thursday, 2-5. They came right back on Friday with a win in game one of this series with the Mariners, 4-3. Michael Wacha will start today for the Sox with a 4-1 record in his nine starts and a nifty 1.99 ERA. Wacha has not allowed a run over his last two starts (14 2/3 innings) with nine KO's and just one walk. The dropped to 26-32 with last night's loss to Boston. George Kirby will look to get back to winning ways today. Kirby is 1-1 in his six starts with a 3.38 ERA. I like the way Wacha has pitched over his last few games and I will take the visiting Boston club tonight. |

06-11-22 | Mets -122 v. Angels | Top | 6-11 | Loss | -122 | 20 h 39 m | Show |
The LA Angels snapped their 14-game losing streak by finally beating the Boston Red Sox in the final game of their set on Thursday, 5-2. That win streak was short lived though, as the Angels dropped game one of their series with the Mets on Friday, 7-3. Meanwhile, the Mets have a comfortable lead in the NL East at 39-21 and a 6.5-game lead over 2nd place Atlanta. The Mets will start Carlos Carrasco today who has been very good for the Mets. Carrasco is 7-1 in his 11 games for the Mets with a 3.37 ERA. The Angels will start Michael Lorenzen who is 5-3 in his nine starts and has a 3.69 ERA. Lorenzen has been roughed-up a bit of late, allowing eight runs over his last two starts (13 2/3 innings). I'm sticking with one of the best teams in the NL in the Mets here today against a slumping Angels team. Play New York. |

The Oakland A's slide continues as questions surrounding their move to Las Vegas might gain momentum with attendance below that of even minor league teams. The A's lost to the Guardians on Friday, 2-3, making it 10-straight losses. Frankie Montas will try and get the team back in the win column today. Montas is 2-6 in his 12 starts with a 2.93 ERA. Montas hasn't been quite as good on the road where he is 1-2 in three starts with a 4.15 ERA. The Cleveland Guardians have won three straight games. They have also won nine of their last 11 games. Zach Plesac will start today for the Guardians. Plesac is 2-4 in his 10 starts with a 4.72 ERA. He's been better at home with a 3.10 ERA in his five starts. Even though Montas is the better pitcher, I will stay with Cleveland here today. |

The Boston Celtics jumped out to a big lead in game three of the NBA Finals, only to have Golden State rally in the third and take a lead entering the fourth quarter. However, like game one, the Warriors collapsed in the fourth quarter and Boston won going away to also cover the spread, 116-100. Thus far none of the three games have been close, with Boston winning game one by 12, Golden State game two by 19 and the Celtics game three by 16. Today, I'm looking at the under. Just one of the first three games have gone under and that was game two in Golden State, 88-107. First, Stephen Curry hurt his foot in game two and while he's probable today, have to wonder if that will effect his performance here today. 2nd, I'm looking for a much more physical game here in game four. That will mean fewer scoring opportunities. So far it's been over, under and then over. If the bounce comes right, we are looking at another under here in game four. Play the UNDER. |

They just need to get their act together in the fourth quarter. With the experience of this team and leadership of Curry, I can't see another fourth quarter collapse. I'll take the points here on Friday and won't be surprised by a straight-up win by Golden State. Take the Warriors. |

06-10-22 | Marlins v. Astros UNDER 8 | 7-4 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
Miami won last night in the final game of their set with Washington, 7-4. That meant the Marlins swept Washington in their three game set. Pablo Lopez will start today for the fish with a 4-2 record in his 11 starts. Lopez has a very nice 2.32 ERA and 0.970 WHIP. Lopez has been even better on the road with a 2-1 record in his five starts with a 1.41 ERA. The Astros had Thursday off as they begin 3-game set with Miami. Luis Garcia will toe the rubber today for the Astros. Garcia is 3-4 in his 10 starts with a 3.07 ERA. Garcia has pitched well of late, allowing two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts. Both pitchers appear to be in a groove right now and for me, I'll be on the UNDER today. Play UNDER. |

The LA Angels are mired in a 14-game losing streak. They thought firing manager Joe Maddon might help after losing 12 in a row. But so far that hasn't done a thing with two more losses. Shoeie Ohtani will look to end the losing streak today. Ohtani is 3-4 in his nine starts this season with a 3.99 ERA. He has allowed nine runs over his last nine innings. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox have won seven straight games as they have moved up in the AL East division. Nick Pivetta will toe the rubber today for the Sox with a 5-4 record over his 11 starts and a 3.50 ERA. Pivetta has been very good of late, allowing just one run in his last two starts (13 innings). Moreover, he has allowed one run or no runs in five of his last six starts. Have to keep with the winning team. I don't buck long losing streaks like the Angels have. Play Boston. |

The Philadelphia Phillies have been hot, winning six straight games after Wednesday's blowout win over the Brewers, 10-0. The Phils are just two games back of the .500 mark, but still a good 9.5 games back of the Mets in the NL East. Zach Eflin will toe the rubber today for the Phillies with a 2-4 mark in his nine starts and a 4.24 ERA. Eflin coming off his best start of the season, going eight innings vs the Angels, allowing just five hits and no runs for the win. The Brewers look to snap a 5-game losing streak here today. They lost three of four at home to the Padres and now the first two games of this series to the Phillies. The Brewers start Corbin Burnes today who is 3-3 in his 11 starts. Burnes has a 2.50 ERA and slightly higher 3.86 home ERA. Burnes to hit hard in his last start, allowing eight hits and five runs over 3 2/3 innings to the Padres. Phillies a big dog here today and I see them as a live dog with their winning streak. Play Philadelphia. |

The LA Dodgers have a slim 1.5 game lead over the Padres in the NL West. LA has run into some tougher times of late, going 3-6 over their last nine games. Tyler Anderson will get the start for LA today. Anderson has been their most successful starter with a 6-0 record in his eight starts and a 2.64 ERA. Anderson has allowed no runs over his three starts (20 innings). The White Sox still struggling to make it back to the .500 record with a 26-28 record. They had their three game win streak snapped last night by the Dodgers, 1-4. Dylan Cease will start today with a 4-2 record and 3.39 ERA. Cease also has been good of late, allowing no runs over his last two starts (10 innings). I like Anderson as he's looked the best for LA all season. Take the Dodgers. |

Game three of the NBA Finals moves to Boston for tonight's contest. The Warriors returned their game one blowout loss with their own blowout in game two to even the series at 1-1. The Celtics were close in game two but came out the break and shot very badly in the third quarter which led to their demise. The Celtics also missed a lot of wide open shots in game two, something they need to fix tonight if they want to win. Tonight, I'm looking at the UNDER. The Warriors have gone under in 11 of their last 13 vs a team with a winning straight up record. They are also 1-4 O/U in their last five games when the dog. The UNDER has also been quite dominant in this series, with seven of the last 10 meetings in Boston going under and 20 of the last 28 overall meetings going under. I'll take the under here today in game three. |

Yankees have now won seven straight games, after taking game one of this set from the Twins, 10-4. They actually haven't just won, they have dominated, outscoring their opponents 48-11 during the seven games. Today, they have one of their best, if not their best, on the mound in Nestor Cortes. Cortes is 5-1 in his 10 starts with a 1.50 ERA and 0.867 WHIP. He has been just as good on the road with a 3-1 record and 1.50 ERA. Cortes has allowed one run or fewer in four of his last five starts. The Twins are in 1st in the AL Central, but this is the softest division in baseball as no other team is even over the .500 mark. The Twins have lost five of their last seven games. Christ Archer gets the start today with a 0-2 record in his 10 starts. Archer has a 3.89 ERA overall and a 5.00 home ERA. I see this matchup as a total mismatch. The Yankees are red hot and have a huge advantage in pitching today. I'll lay the Run line with the Yankees. |

White has a 4.77 ERA and has not gone past the fifth inning yet. Meanwhile the White Sox have won two straight and pulled within 2-games of the .500 mark. Michael Kopech starts today with a 1-2 record in his nine starts and a 2.20 ERA. Other than his last start, Kopech has allowed no runs in three of his previous four starts. I'll take the home dog here in the Sox with a very good starter on the hill. Play Chicago. |

He's been one of their best on the hill with a 6-1 record in his 10 starts and a 2.30 ERA. The Twins still aren't sure who they will start and for me it doesn't really matter. I like Taillon a lot and will take him against any of the Twins starters here today. Play New York. |

The Detroit Tigers look to snap a 3-game losing streak as they visit the NL's Pittsburgh Pirates today. The Tigers aren't often a road favorite, but they are today. That is mainly because their winningest pitcher is on the mound in Tarik Skubal. Skubal is 4-2 on the season with a very good 1.84 ERA. Skubak has allowed no runs in four of his last five starts. The Pirates have been doing well of late, winning five of their last six games including a 3-game sweep of the LA Dodgers. Jose Quintana will get the start for the Bucs today. Quintana is 1-2 in his 10 starts with a 2.32 ERA. Both these pitchers are very good and as such, I'll take the UNDER today. |

06-06-22 | Red Sox +103 v. Angels | 1-0 | Win | 103 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
The Boston Red Sox begin their set at the LA Angles tonight after having swept Oakland and won four straight games. The bats have been firing too, outscoring Oakland 20-4. In addition the Sox have scored 27 runs over their last four games. Michael Wacha will start today for the Sox with a 3-1 record and 2.43 ERA. Wacha has had one bad start, but other than than he's been excellent. The LA Angels have free fallen in the AL West. They are now 8.5 games back of first place Houston after losing their 11th straight game on Sunday. Noah Sydergaard will try and put an end to this losing streak. He's 4-3 on the season with a 4.02 ERA. He's also been on rough times of late, allowing 12 runs over his last three starts (11 innings). I have to stick with Boston here today. Until the Angels win, I'm not bucking their losing streak. Play Boston. |

06-05-22 | Celtics v. Warriors -175 | Top | 88-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
It's really this simple, the Warriors blew a huge lead they held for three quarters of game one. They got totally blown out in the fourth quarter to lose badly. They have to regroup here in game two or this series is likely done. I don't believe the Warriors can win four of five games with three of those at Boston. So tonight, the Warriors can't let what happened in game one happen here. They are too experienced and too good to let it happen again. I have to take the Warriors here tonight. And as big as the money line will be, I'm going to lay the money line with Golden State. |

06-05-22 | Cardinals -127 v. Cubs | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Sunday Night baseball on ESPN has this storied rivalry as the Cubs host the Cardinals. St Louis has won the first two of three in this series as the worse they can do today is a split. The Cards won on Satuday, 7-4. They have outscored the Cubs in the series 22-15. Adam Wainwright starts today for the Cardinals. He's 5-4 in his 10 starts this season with a 2.75 ERA. He has allowed just six runs over his last four starts (32 innings). The Cubs are 23-31 in the NL Central, 9.5 games back of the Brewers. Justin Steele starts today with a 1-5 record in his 10 starts. Steele has a 5.40 ERA and has allowed 10 runs over his last two starts (seven innings). Wainwright pitching too well to go against him and the Cards today. Play St Louis. |

06-05-22 | Mariners v. Rangers -125 | 6-5 | Loss | -125 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
The Seattle Mariners saw a modest two game win streak snapped last night by the Rangers, 2-3. The teams have split the first two games of the series with Seattle winning game one, 4-3. Today's rubber game has George Kirby starting for the M's. Kirby is 1-1 in his five starts with a 3.46 ERA. The Rangers are so close to that .500 mark as they sit at 25-27 overall. Martin Perez looks to get them one game closer today. Perez is 4-2 on the season with a 1.42 ERA and 0.932 Whip. Perez has been amazing for the Rangers, allowing one run or no runs in each of his last eight starts. I like Perez a lot here today. Take the Rangers. |

06-05-22 | Astros -1.5 v. Royals | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 20 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros sit comfortably in 1st in the AL West, 6.5 games ahead of the LA Angels. Still, it's hard to accept a 0-6 loss to the lowly Royals as they did last night. Today is the rubber game of the series and the Astros won't want to let this series go down. Framber Valdez starts today with a 5-2 record in his 10 starts. Valdez has a nice 2.57 ERA and better 1.40 road ERA this season. He has allowed one run in three of his last four starts. Moreover, he's allowed no more than three runs in nine of his 10 starts this season. The Royals are in last in the AL Central with a 17-34 record. They have lost five of their last six games. Jon Heasley will start today. Heasley is 0-2 in his four starts with a 4.66 ERA and 5.40 home ERA. While Heasley hasn't been bad, don't think he has enough to take this series from the 1st place Astros. Lay the Run line with Houston. |

06-05-22 | Angels v. Phillies -118 | 7-9 | Win | 100 | 2 h 46 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia Phillies look for the sweep today over the LA Angels in this lone Inter League matchup. The Phillies have pounded the Angels too, winning by a combined 17-2 in the two games. Kyle Gibson starts today for the Phils. Gibson is 3-2 in his 10 starts with a 3.83 ERA. Gibson has been very consistent of late, allowing just two runs in each of his last three starts. The Angels are in second place in the AL West, but still a good 5.5 games back of Houston. The Angels have been in a big hitting slump of late, scoring just five runs in the last five games (ALL LOSSES). Patrick Sandoval looks to right the ship today. Sandoval is 3-1 in his eight starts with a 2.70 ERA. However Sandoval coming off one of his worst starts last time out, allowing five hits and six runs over just three innings to Toronto. Gibson has been pitching well for the Phils and LA in a losing streak. I'll take Philly to sweep today. |

06-05-22 | Tigers v. Yankees -1.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -135 | 1 h 11 m | Show | |
The Yankees have heated up again, now winning five straight games as they look for the sweep over Detroit today. They took both games in big fashion, shutting out the Tigers in game one 13-0 and again in game two, 3-0. Jordan Montgomery will start today with a 1-1 record in his 10 starts and a 3.04 ERA. He's been very consistent, allowing three runs or fewer in each of his 10 starts. The Tigers will have to find some offense today if they look to avoid the sweep. Rony Garcia will be on the hill and he looks to be more cannon fodder for the Bronx Bombers. Garcia is 0-1 in his two starts with a 8.00 ERA. The only good thing, he's struck out 12 and walked just three. I look for another lopsided Yankees win here today. I'll lay the Run Line with New York. |

06-04-22 | Guardians v. Orioles UNDER 8 | 4-5 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Guardians look to win their fifth in a row today and finally climb back to the .500 mark with a win. They beat the Orioles in game one of this set on Friday, 6-3. They have outscored opponents 25-9 during their four game win streak. Triston McKenzie will start today for the Guardians. McKenzie is 3-3 with a 2.44 ERA. He's pitched very consistently, allowing two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. The Orioles have lost three of their last four games. Tyler Wells looks to turn that around today as he's 2-4 in his 10 starts with a 3.71 ERA. He's been slightly better at home with a 1-0 record in four starts and a 2.29 ERA. I like both pitchers to keep this one close and low scoring. take the UNDER. |

06-04-22 | Diamondbacks v. Pirates -125 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
The Arizona Diamondbacks took game one of this series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night, 8-6. That was the club's third win in their last four games. Zach Davies will look to make it two in a row vs the Bucs here today. Davies is 2-3 in his 10 starts with a 4.84 ERA. Davies has also had a rough time of late, allowing 12 earned runs over his last 13 innings of work. The Pirates came back down to earth after their road sweep of the Dodgers. They are still hitting the ball well, their fourth game in a row with at least five runs. Roansy Contreras will start today for the Bucs no record in his two starts and a 1.80 ERA. I'm taking the Bucs to rebound here today. Play Pittsburgh. |

06-04-22 | Twins v. Blue Jays OVER 8.5 | 3-12 | Win | 100 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Twins have little competition in the AL Central with no other team having a .500 or better record. It almost makes them complacent knowing they should cruise to the division championship. Dylan Bundy will start today with a 3-2 record and 4.76 ERA. Bundy allowed nine hits and four runs in his last start to Detroit. The Blue Jays saw their eight-game win streak come to an end on Friday in their loss to the Twins, 3-9. However, it was their sixth straight over and their ninth over in their last 10 games. Jose Berrios will start today for the Jays with a 3-2 record in his 10 starts. Berrios has a lofty 5.62 ERA and has allowed nine runs over his last nine innings of work. I'm taking today's contest over. |

06-04-22 | Tigers v. Yankees -1.5 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 42 m | Show |
The Detroit Tigers had their modest 3-game win streak snapped on Friday by the Yankees, 0-13. The Tigers will look to be more competitive today with Beau Brieske on the hill. However, that doesn't look to promising with his 0-4 record in seven starts and 5.24 ERA. The Yankees have won three straight games after Friday's white wash of the Tigers. In fact, the Yankees four game win streak they have outscored opponents by a 30-3 margin. Luis Severino on the hill today with a 3-1 record in his nine starts and a 3.38 ERA. Doesn't really matter who they start though, they should pound the Tigers once again. I'm laying the Run Line with the Yankees. |
