09-22-20 | Rays -125 v. Mets | 2-5 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay and the Yankees have both clinched playoff spots. The Rays look to hold onto the top spot as they have a 4.5 game lead in the AL East over the Yankees. Both teams have been hot with the Rays winning seven of their last 10 and the Yankees winning eight of their last 10. Blake Snell goes today for the Rays. Snell is 4-1 in his 10 starts with a 3.05 ERA. Snell has allowed just one run over his last 10 2/3 innings. Seth Lugo will toe the rubber for the Yankees. Lugo is 1-1 in his five starts with a 5.30 ERA and 1.500 WHIP. Lugo has been hit rather hard of late, allowing nine runs over his last 7 innings of work. I like the visitor in this one. Take the Rays. |

Cubs looking to clinch a playoff spot this week as they are in 1st place in the NL Central with a 31-22 record. They have a 3 1/2 game lead over the Cardinals.

Brubaker has allowed eight runs over his last 10 1/3 innings. Cubs should have no trouble today with the Bucs as they close in on clinching that playoff spot. Play the Cubs. |

09-21-20 | Brewers +115 v. Reds | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
These two teams are still in the race for a playoff spot, but only one could likely get the spot. The Reds are in 3rd in the NL Central and the Brewers are in 4th, one game back in the loss column to the Reds. The Brewers start Brandon Woodruff today with a 2-4 record and 3.45 ERA. Woodruff has allowed just three runs over his last 14 innings with 17 KO's and no walks. Luis Castillo will toe the rubber for the Reds today with a 3-5 record and 3.19 ERA. Castillo has also been very good of late, allowing just one run over his last 16 innings with 16 KO's and four walks. Both these pitchers are on hot streaks and for me that means an UNDER here today. |

09-20-20 | Twins v. Cubs -147 | 4-0 | Loss | -147 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
Despite their 31-21 record and 1st place in the AL Central, the Chicago Cubs have not yet clinched a playoff spot. The Cubs have won seven of their last 10 games and lead second place St Louis by 4 1/2 games. The Twins have clinched a playoff spot with their 32-22 record. Yu Darvish is having a great season, something we can't say for a number of years now. Darvish is 7-2 in his 10 starts with a 2.00 ERA and 0.937 WHIP. Darvish has yet to allow over three runs in any of his 10 starts. Jose Berrios has had an up and down season with his 4-3 record and 4.15 ERA. Berriors goes through stretched of excellent starts then has a letdown for a few starts. For me, Darvish has been consistent all season and he's the one I'm backing here on Sunday. Play the CUBS. |
|||||||
09-20-20 | Royals +134 v. Brewers | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
The Royals won't make the postseason with just a 21-31 record, but that hasn't put any quit into them. The Royals have won seven of their last 10 games. The Brewers have had a disappointing season at just 25-26. They have won three straight and six of 10. Brad Keller starts for the Royals with a 4-2 record and very nice 2.06 ERA. Keller is off a rare 9 inning complete game where he allowed no runs to the Pirates. Josh Lindblom will start for the Brewers with a 1-3 record in eight starts and a 5.55 ERA. Getting the Royals and Keller as a dog here today is too good to pass on. I'm taking the ROYALS. |

Lorenzen has just one start but it was a good one, going five innings vs the Pirates and allowing just one run on four hits with no walks. I'm going to try Lorenzen out here today. Take the Reds. |

Michael Fulmer starts for the Tigers with an 0-2 record and 9.27 ERA and 2.149 WHIP. Fulmer has allowed nine runs over his last 5 innings. Big difference in starters here tonight.

The Cleveland Indians have lost four straight games and dropped 2 1/2 back in the AL Central. Zach Plesac starts today for the Tribe. Plesac is 3-1 in his five starts with a 1.32 ERA and 0.735 WHIP. Plesac has allowed either no runs or one run in four of his five starts. Rich Hill starts for the Twins. Hill is 1-1 in his five starts with a 3.86 ERA and 1.381 WHIP. Hill has pitched well enough, allowing more than two runs in a game just once in his five starts. I like the Indians to snap their four game losing streak here today. Play Cleveland. |
|||||||
09-12-20 | Orioles +167 v. Yankees | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles have not played badly this year considering they are usually huge dogs in games. In fact, I don't know of any other team in baseball that has won more games as a +1.50 dog than the O's have. They have lost three straight though as they enter Saturday's game at the Yankees. Dean Kremer will start only his second game of the year for the O's. Kremer pitched well in his other start, going six innings vs these Yankees and allowing just one run in a win as a +1.80 dog. Now he gets to face them again here today. The Yankees will send Jordan Montgomery to the hill today. Montgomery is 2-2 in his seven starts with a 5.72 ERA and 1.411 WHIP. For the price, lots of value here today with the Orioles. I'll take a shot with them. Play Baltimore. |
|||||||
09-11-20 | Indians v. Twins UNDER 7 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
Cleveland and Minnesota had been battling for first place in the AL Central until the White Sox passed both by to take over the division lead. Now the Twins are one game back and the Indians are 1 1/2 games back for a three-team race in the division. The Indians start their Ace today in Shane Bieber. Bieber is having a Cy Young type year with a 7-0 record in his nine starts with a 1.25 ERA and 0.850 WHIP. Bieber has allowe no runs in five of his starts this year. Kenta Maeda came over from the Dodgers in the off season and is doing quite well for the Twins. Maeda is 4-1 in his eight starts with a 2.77 ERA and 0.719 WHIP. Maeda has yet to allow more than three runs in any start. For me, runs will be at a high premium in this game. I'm taking the UNDER. |
|||||||
09-11-20 | Reds v. Cardinals +106 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 43 m | Show | |
The St Louis Cardinals have moved to within three games of first place in the NL Central with their 19-18 record. The Cincinnati Reds are 19-25 and in fourth place. The Cards start one time Ace Luis Castillo. While Castillo is only 1-5 on the season, his ERA is 4.15 with a 1.477 WHIP. The team has also won just two of his eight starts this season. Meanwhile Adam Wainwright has been excellent for the Red birds with his 4-0 record in his six starts. Wainwright has a nifty 2.68 ERA and 0.917 WHIP. Big difference in starters in this one, yet the Cards are a slight dog. I believe the Cardinals should be the favorite here, but I'll take the small dog price. Play St Louis. |
|||||||
09-10-20 | Astros v. A's -141 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 44 m | Show | |
Astros and A's fighting for the AL West top spot in the division. The A's holding fast to that 5 1/2 game lead means the Astros need to cut into that here today. They will try with Jose Urquidy who has just one start under his belt this year and that was a 3 2/3 outing where he allowed four hits and two runs. The A's counter with Sean Manaea who is 3-2 in his eight starts with a 5.09 ERA. Manaea has been very good of late though, allowing just one earned run in each of his last three outings (15 innings). I like the A's here today to increase their lead. Take Oakland. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Brewers v. Tigers UNDER 7.5 | 19-0 | Loss | -106 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Brewers looking to get back to the .500 mark as they sit at 18-22 on the season. They have lost three straight games. The Detroit Tigers are 19-21 on the season and sitting in 4th place in the AL Central. The Brewers will start Corbin Burnes. Burnes is 2-0 in his five starts with a 1.75 ERA and 1.0013 WHIP. He's allowed just one run over his last 12 innings with 17 KO's. The Tigers counter with Matt Boyd. Boyd is only 1-5 on the season with a 6.64 ERA. However, he's pitched much better of late, allowing just five total runs over his last 17 1/3 innings with 20 KO's and just one walk. I like this game to be low scoring today. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
09-08-20 | White Sox -125 v. Pirates | 4-5 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
The White Sox continue to be the surprise team this year in baseball as they are now 26-15 and have won four straight games and seven of their last 10. The Sox have received great pitching out of today's starter, Dylan Cease. Cease is 5-2 in his eight starts with a 3.29 ERA. The Pirates would like to forget 2020 and especially this season on the diamond. The Bucs are in last place in the NL Central with a 13-26 record. They did win yesterday though over the Reds, 3-2. Joe Musgrove looking for his first win as he starts his fifth game today. Musgrove is 0-4 with a 6.62 ERA. I am sticking with the team that has done well for me all season. Take the White Sox. |

The Yankees will counter with Montgomery who is two and two in his starts this year. Montgomery has a 5.76 ERA and a 1.279 whip. For me i'm sticking with the Home team and this one and the better pitcher. Take the Blue Jays. |

The Padres bolstered their starting rotation by picking up Clevinger from the Indians. The Padres have moved into 2nd place in the NL West behind the Dodgers, six games back. The Padres having a nice season at 24-17 and while Clevinger won't start today but they will go with Garrett Richards. Richards is 1-2 in his eight starts with a 4.63 ERA. Richards is coming off his best start where he allowed no runs to the Rockies and one hit in a limited 3 2/3 performance. Despite seven starts, Richards has not gone past four innings in his last three starts. The A's are in 1st place in the AL West with a 23-13 record, 3 1/2 games ahead of the Astros. Michael Fiers starts today with a 4-1 record in his seven starts with a 4.86 ERA. Fiers coming off a six inning outing vs the Rangers where he allowed no earned runs.

Mazza makes his second start of the season. His first wasn't that good, going just three innings vs the Yankees and allowing eight hit and four run. I like the visitor in this one, Sanchez can build off that last excellent start. Play Washington. |

Eflin is 1-1 with a 5.12 ERA. Neither pitcher is very good and both teams can hit. I'll take the OVER. |

The Cleveland Indians are just a half game out of first place in the AL Central as they open this series with the St Louis Cardinals. The Cards are in 2nd place in the NL Central with a 11-11 record, 3-games back of the Cubs. The Indians start Triston McKenzie here today who has one start this season where he went six innings vs the Tigers and allowed just two hits and one run. The Cards will start Daniel Poncedeleon who is 0-2 in his three starts with a 5.40 ERA and 1.542 WHIP. I'm taking the visitor in this one. Play Cleveland. |

The Oakland A's are in first place in the AL West with a 21-10 record and four games ahead of the Houston Astros. The A's beat the Rangers on Tuesday and have won six of their last 10. The Rangers are 11-18 and in fourth in the West. They have lost nine of their last 10 games. The A's start Michael Fiers who is 3-1 in his six starts. Fiers has a 5.81 ERA and 1.548 WHIP. Fiers has been decent of late, allowing five total runs over his last 11 1/3 innings. The Rangers counter with Kolby Allard. Allard is 0-2 in his four starts with a 7.81 ERA and 1.815 WHIP. Allard had started the season good with back-to-back good starts. However, his last two starts have resulted in 10 runs over 3 2/3 innings. I like the A's against the ice cold Rangers here tonight. Play Oakland. |

08-26-20 | Yankees v. Braves -112 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 46 m | Show | |
The Yankees start Masahiro Tanaka who is 0-1 in his four starts with a 4.59 ERA. Tanaka is coming off a horrible start where he allowed eight hit and five runs over four innings. The Braves start Max Fried who is 4-0 in his six starts with a 1.32 ERA and 0.971 ERA. Fried has been exceptional for the Braves. We get a great price here with the Braves and their best pitcher on the hill today. Play the Braves. |

08-25-20 | Dodgers v. Giants +188 | 8-10 | Win | 188 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
The LA Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 22-8. They lead 2nd place San Diego by 4-games and have won four straight and nine of their last 10. They take on the 14-16 Giants here tonight from San Francisco. Anytime these hated rivals get together you can throw out the records. LA will start Julio Urias who is 2-0 in his five starts with a 2.74 ERA. Johnny Cueto starts for the Giants. Cueto is 2-0 in his six starts with a 4.35 ERA. Huge dog here tonight on the Giants and considering they love nothing more than to beat the Dodgers, I'll take a chance on this dog tonight. Play San Francisco. |

08-25-20 | Twins v. Indians -1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 125 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
Important series here for both teams as the top two teams in the AL Central face off. Minnesota leads the division over Cleveland by two games. Both teams have been on good runs, winning seven of their last 10 games. The Twins will start Rich Hill today. Hill is 1-1 in his two starts with a 4.69 ERA. The Indians will start Shane Bieber who is a leading candidate for a Cy Young at this point. Bieber is 5-0 in his six starts with a 1.11 ERA and 0.762 WHIP. I like the Indians here in this game but will also lay the Run Line with them. Play Cleveland -1.5 Runs. |

08-25-20 | Red Sox v. Blue Jays -125 | 9-7 | Loss | -125 | 1 h 21 m | Show | |
AL East matchup here as the resurgent Blue Jays take on the reeling Red Sox. Toronto has won seven of their last 10 games and climbed into third place, just 3 1/2 games back of the division leading Rays. The Red Sox continue to flounder, losing two straight and seven of the last 10. The Sox will start Kyle Hart today. Hart is 0-1 in his two starts with a 11.11 ERA. Hart hasn't made it past the fourth inning yet. Chase Anderson will toe the rubber for the Jays. Anderson has no record in his three starts, but has a nifty 2.79 ERA and 1.344 WHIP. I'm going to take the Jays as these teams going in opposite directions. Play Toronto. |

08-24-20 | Royals +171 v. Cardinals | Top | 3-9 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 59 m | Show |
The KC Royals are in dead last in the AL Central division. They have lost two straight games and six of their last 10. The good news is that they start one of their bright spots so far this season in Brad Keller. Keller is 3-0 in his three starts with a 0.00 ERA and 0.905 WHIP. That's right, he has not allowed a run to go with his eight total hits over 17 2/3 innings. The Royals will be a big dog here on Monday despite Keller starting. The Cardinals are in 2nd place in the AL Central but are just one game over .500 at 9-8. Jack Flaherty will start for the Redbirds. He is 1-0 in his two starts with a 3.11 ERA. I like dogs and especially with a pitcher as good right now as Keller is. I'll take the Royals here on Monday. |

08-24-20 | A's v. Rangers UNDER 8 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's are 1st in the AL West with a 20-9 record. Their 20 wins are most in the AL so far and second in baseball to the 22 by the Dodgers. The A's will start Jesus Luzardo today. Luzardo is 2-0 in his four starts with a 3.54 ERA and 1.377 WHIP. He's coming off his best outing, a 6 1/3 inning showcase against Arizona where he allowed four hits and no runs. Lanc Lynn will counter for the Rangers. Lynn is 3-0 in his six starts with a 1.37 ERA and 0.814 WHIP. Lynn has no allowed more than two runs in any of his six starts this season. Another great pitching matchup and that means UNDER for me. |
|||||||
08-24-20 | Twins v. Indians UNDER 9 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 54 m | Show | |
AL Central showdown here as the Twins lead the division by 1 1/2 games over the Indians. Both teams have had great success so far this season. Both teams have also won seven of their last 10 games. Despite a couple of bad innings over the weekend given up to the Tigers, the Indians still have allowed the fewest runs in the league with just 84. No other AL team has allowed less than 100 thus far. The Twins are second best in the AL in runs allowed with 100 even allowed. The Twins start Kenta Maeda on Monday, who came over in the offseason from the Dodgers. Maeda has proven very effective for the Twins, posting a 3-0 record in five starts with a 2.27 ERA and very low 0.632 WHIP. He's struck out 27 and walked just five this season. The Tribe will counter with Aaron Civale. Civale is 3-2 in his five starts with a 2.91 ERA and 0.971 WHIP. Both these starters have been very good and I will go UNDER in today's contest. |

08-23-20 | White Sox +165 v. Cubs | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
The White Sox look to continue their hot streak here Sunday against their intercity rivals, the Cubs. The Sox have now won seven straight games and eight of 10 to climb into third place in the AL Central, just one game back of division leading Minnesota. The Cubs are still in first place in the NL Central, despite losing seven of their last 10 games. The Central has become the weakest division in baseball, with the Cubs the only team above the .500 mark. Yu Darvish starts for the Cubs today. He's 4-1 in his five starts with a 1.80 ERA and 0.900 WHIP. Darvish has been a bright spot after some less than stellar seasons recently. The Sox will counter with Dylan Cease. Cease is 4-1 in his five starts with a 3.16 ERA and 1.346 WHIP. Cease has been very good for the Sox. No way the Sox should be such a big dog here today. They are red-hot and Cease is just as good as Darvish. I see lots of value here in the dog. Play the White Sox. |

08-22-20 | Rockies v. Dodgers UNDER 8.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
The Lakers flexed their muscles in game two of their series with the Blazers. After losing game one in bad fashion they rebounded with a resounding shutdown of the high scoring Portland offense, winning game two easily. The Lakers look to continue that here in game three. The Blazers realize that they need to play more of an uptempo game against the Lakers. The Blazers are led by Damian Lillard, who has been unstopable up until game two of this series. Problem for Blazers is that he hurt his index finger in game two, dislocating the finger. He will be playing today in game three, but how will this effect his play? Lilliard had only 18-points before leaving in the 3rd quarter with his injury. For me, even with a healthy Lilliard the Lakers have found out how to shut down this offense of the Blazers. Number a bit high for me here today, so I will go with the UNDER. |

08-22-20 | Blue Jays -115 v. Rays | 1-2 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Toronto is moving up in the AL East standings, now into 3rd place with a 13-11 record. The Jays went from being below .500 to now two games above thanks to a 6-game win streak. The Jays will start Hyun-Jin Ryu who they acquired from the Dodgers in the offseason. Ryu has been solid for the Jays with a 2-1 record in five starts and a 3.46 ERA and 1.115 WHIP. Ryu has allowed just two earned runs over his last 12 innings of work with 10 KO's and two walks. Meanwhile, the Rays are tied for first in the AL East with the Yankees at 17-10. The Rays have won eight of 10 but saw their streak ended by the Jays on Friday. Aaron Slegers makes his first appearance of the season here today. I know what I'm getting with the Jays and Ryu here today. I'll take the visitor in this one. Play Toronto. |

The two bottom teams in the NL West matchup here today as the Giants host the Diamondbacks. Arizona is 13-13, but has lost its last two games. The D'backs have allowed the 2nd most runs in the NL, only the Giants have allowed more. Robbie Ray toes the rubber for the D'backs with a 8.59 ERA in his five starts. Ray is coming off his best start of the year, one run and no hits over five innings against the Padres. The Giants are 11-16 and look to hold down the last spot in the West for the duration. Logan Webb gets the start today and is 1-2 in his five starts with a 3.54 ERA. Web has allowed five runs over his last 7 2/3 innings. Two teams with poor pens and questionable starters makes me love the OVER here. |

The LA Angels have not lost three straight games and seven of their last 10 to drop to 8-18 on the season. The Angels start Andrew Heaney here today, who is 1-1 in his five starts (team is 1-4) with a 4.74 ERA. Heaney started the season with three good starts, allowing four runs over 16 1/3 innings. However, it's been downhill his last two starts, with nine runs allowed over his last 9 1/3 innings. The A's continue to play well with a 18-8 record and first place in the AL West. Michael Fiers is 2-1 in his five starts (Team is 4-1) with a 5.96 ERA. Fiers coming off a nice start where he allowed two runs over six innings to the Giants. A's continue to shine and will do so again here tonight. Play Oakland. |

08-21-20 | Phillies v. Braves UNDER 8 | 2-11 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Phillies starting Aaron Nola. Nola has gone at least 5 innings in each start and has a nice 2.05 ERA. Same for the Braves that start Max Fried. Fried has gone at least 5-innings in each of hist five starts with a 1.24 ERA. Two very good starters that should get us past 5 innings. I'll take UNDER. |

08-21-20 | Tigers v. Indians -1.5 | Top | 10-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
I've been a big fan of the Indians since the start, they have arguably the best pitching in baseball. The Indians are a half game back of the Twins for the AL Central lead and have allowed just 66 runs this season (best in majors). That has translated to six straight wins and eight wins in the last 10 games. They face the Tigers here today who are in last place in the Central. The Tigers are just 9-14 and have lost nine straight game. Michael Fulmer starts for the Tigers with a 7.55 ERA in his three starts. The Tribe will start Adam Plutko who is 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA in his three starts. Plutko might not be their best, but against this Tigers team I have no problem laying the Run Line. Take Indians -1.5 Runs. |

Gausman is 0-1 with a 4.57 ERA in his four starts. He has allowed four runs over his last 12 innings. Gausman is a strikeout pitcher with 32 KO's and just four walks. The LA Angels are just 8-17 on the season and in 4th in the AL West. The Angels have lost two straight games and seven of their last 10. The Angels will start Jose Suarez here tonight. Suarez will make his first appearance this season. I like the Giants tonight. They are on a small win streak and have a power pitcher on the hill. Play Giants. |

The Cincinnati Reds are in 4th place in the NL Central with a 10-12 record. Sonny Gray gets the start today. Gray is 4-1 in his five starts with a 2.05 ERA and 0.913 WHIP this season.

Cleveland Indians continue to keep pace with the Twins in the AL Central. The Twins are in first place with a 16-9 record and the Indians are right behind with a 15-9 record. The Indians have arguably the overall best pitching staff right now, allowing just 66 total runs (Best in the Majors). The Indians staff will face the light hitting Pirates today. Pittsburgh is in last place in the NL Central with a 4-16 record and have the worst record in baseball. They have just 78 runs and a -42 run differential. Shane Bieber goes today for the Tribe. Bieber is 4-0 in his five starts with a nifty 1.30 ERA and 0.721 WHIP. He's also KO'd 54 and walked just six.

The Marlins are in 2nd place in the NL East, despite just a 9-8 record. The Marlins have lost four straight now and seven of their last 10. Pablo Lopez will toe the rubber for the Marlins. Lopez is 2-1 in three starts with a 2.25 ERA. Price too steep here on the Mets, but I'm parlaying them with the Yankees for a 2-teamer here on Wednesday. |

Glasnow is 0-1 in his four starts with a 7.004 ERA. Price too high for the Yankees, but as part of my 2-team parlay I will lay the price with them. Take Yankees as part of 2-team Parlay. |

The Boston Red Sox have really struggled this season, currently in last place in the AL East at 6-17. They have lost eight games in a row and nine of their last 10. The loss of Mookie Betts to the Dodgers seems to be playing a much bigger role then expected. The pitching staff has got hit hard, allowing a 2nd worst A.L 143 runs. The Sox will turn to Kyle Hart here on Wednesday for his second start of the season. Hart got pummeled in his only start, going 2 innings against the Rays and allowing seven hits and seven runs. The Philadelphia Phillies are in 3rd in the NL East at 8-9. They have won three straight so things are looking up for the team. Jake Arrieta is 1-2 in his three starts with a 4.02 ERA and 1.213 WHIP.

They will face the Toronto Blue Jays that are right behind them in the AL East with a 8-11 record. Toronto will start Nate Pearson today. Pearson has not been very good with a 5.11 ERA and 1.460 WHIP in his three starts. Wade Leblanc will oppose for the O's. Leblanc has four starts and is 1-0 with a 7.13 ERA and 1.472 WHIP. Neither of these pitchers have had much success this year. I expect his game to be a high scoring one. Play the OVER. |

Two teams that have both struggled so far this shortened season are the Phillies and Red Sox. The Phillies are in 3rd place in the NL East at 8-9. The Red Sox are in last in the AL East with a 6-17 record and have lost eight straight games. Zach Eflin starts for the Phils here today. Eflin has two starts and is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.3 WHIP. Zack Godley will toe the rubber for the Sox with a 0-2 record in his three starts and a 11.33 ERA. Godley has not made it past four inning this season and is coming off a eight run performance against Tampa Bay. Tough call here but I give the Phillies the edge in this one.

Boyd has allowed 14 runs over his last 9 1/3 innings with six walks and just 10 KO's. The White Sox will counter with Gio Gonzalez here today. Gonzalez is 2-1 on the season with a 4.26 ERA and 2.052 WHIP. The WHIP is high mainly because he's allowed seven walks compared to just 11 KO's. I expect a lot of runs in this one today.

I like the way Lester is pitching. Plus we get a very good Cubs team backing him. Play Chicago. |

The Indians continue to be one of the bright spots in this shortened season as they now are 12-9 on the season and 7-3 in their last 10 games. Their pitching staff is one of the best and have allowed just 57 total runs over their 21 games. Adam Plutko gets the start today for the Tribe.

The Tigers have now lost four straight games and six of their last 10. They will send Michael Fulmer to the hill today. Fulmer has no record in his two starts with a 6.35 ERA and 1.764 WHIP. The Indians are hot and they have the much better staff. I'll take Cleveland here on Sunday. |

Early action on the diamond here as the Nationals take on the Mets. Both these clubs are struggling so far this shortened season. The Nationals are 6-8 while the Mets are right behind them at 8-11. Neither club's pitching has look all that strong, especially the Mets who have had injuries to their starting staff. The Nats will start Austin Voth, who is 0-1 in his two starts. Voth has pitched well though with a 1.80 ERA and 0.700 WHIP. Voth has gone five innings in both starts and has allowed two total earned runs. The Mets will have David Peterson toe the runner today. Peterson is 2-1 in his three starts with a 3.78 ERA and 1.320 WHIP. Peterson seems to have a bit more innings under his belt and has been good enough thus far. I'm taking the Mets here on Thursday. |

Chicago Cubs off to an excellent start at 10-3 on the season and 1st place in the NL Central.

He looked like his young self thus far, with a 1-0 record in two starts and a 0.82 ERA. While he doesn't strike out all that many anymore, his control is still very good. The Cleveland Indians are 3rd in the AL Central with a 10-7 record. The Indians have won four straight games. The Indians have also allowed a league low 37 total runs. Adam Plutko starts today for the Tribe. Plutko has one start and that was against the White Sox. He went six innings and allowed just two runs.

The Colorado Rockies have the top spot in the NL West with a 11-4 record. The Rocks did lose on Sunday, but have won seven of their last 10 overall. They have a run differential of +31, which is second in the NL to the Dodgers +41. The Rockies will start Jon Gray today. Gray is 0-1 in his three starts with a respectable 3.30 ERA and 0.979 WHIP. Gray has not allowed more than three earned runs in ay of his starts so he'll keep the team in the contest. Arizona has struggled, they are last in the NL West with a 6-10 mark and have the 2nd worst run differential in the NL with a -29. Robbie Ray will start today for the D'backs. Ray is 1-2 in his three starts with a horrible 9.45 ERA and 1.949 WHIP. Ray is coming off a five inning performance vs the Astros where he gave up six runs and six hits including three home runs.

The Cleveland Indians rebounded nicely on Saturday as I had them to win and they did just that over the Sox, 7-1. The pitching has been great for the Tribe and continues to be so, holding each of their last eight opponents to three runs or fewer. In fact, they had back-to-back shutouts of the Reds and then held the Sox to just one run on Saturday. Shane Bieber starts today for the Tribe with a nifty 3-0 record in his three starts with a 0.83 ERA and 0.692 WHIP. Bieber has 27 KO's in his three starts with just three walks. Lucas Giolito toes the rubber today for the Sox. Giolito is 1-1 in his three starts with a 5.17 ERA and 1.404 Whip.

Morton is 1-1 in his three starts with a 5.52 ERA and 1.363 ERA. While Morton hasn't been great, he has been light years ahead of Paxton. Take the Rays. |

08-08-20 | Diamondbacks v. Padres UNDER 7.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Excellent pitching matchup here tonight between the Diamondbacks and Padres. Arizona will start Merrill Kelly who is 1-1 in his two starts. Kelly has a 2.63 ERA and 0.951 WHIP. He held the hard hitting Dodgers to just three runs over six innings and Texas to just one run over 7 2/3 innings. Kelly also has excellent control, walking just one while striking out 11. The Padres will counter with Chris Paddack. Paddack is 2-0 in his three starts with a 2.65 ERA and 0.941 ERA. Also with excellent control, Paddack has allowed just one walk over his 17 innings with 15 KO's. Look for these two pitchers to keep this one low scoring until the late innings. Take the UNDER. |

The Oakland A's are in first place in the AL West, now 3 1/2 games ahead of second place Houston. The A's are playing very well having won seven straight games including last night's extra inning win over the Astros, 3-2. The pitching has been excellent with just 45 runs allowed over 14 games. Frankie Montas will start today for the A's with a 1-1 record in his three starts. Montas has a 2.25 ERA and 1.313 WHIP. He has yet to allow more than two earned runs in any of his three starts. The Astros have now lost three straight games and six of their last 10. They will look to Framber Valdez here today. Valdez lost his only start this season, a 4 1/3 inning outing to the Dodgers. Valdez pitched well, allowing just two earned runs. Still, tough matchup here today for the Astros up against this red-hot A's team. I'll lay the price with the Athletics. |

In fact, they had back-to-back shutouts of the Reds before last night's loss. Zach Plesac may be 0-1 in his two starts, but he's pitched well with a 1.80 ERA and 0.533 WHIP. He's allowed just seven total hits and three earned runs over his 15 innings with 17 KO's and just one BB. The White Sox are playing well, having won seven of their last 10 games.

Civale has two starts and is 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA and 1.083 WHIP. He's gone six innings in both starts and has 18 total KO's and just one walk. The Sox will have Dylan Cease toe the rubber. Cease is 1-1 in his two starts but has a 6.48 ERA. Cease had a bad first outing but rebounded last time with six innings and just two runs allowed to the Royals.

They have a -10 run differential. The Red Sox are 4-8 and have lost seven of their last 10 games. They also have a -10 run differential. Toronto will start Tanner Roark today who is 1-0 in his only start. Roark went five innings vs the Nationals and allowed three hits and one run. The Sox will counter with Ryan Weber who is 0-2 in his two starts with a 11.57 ERA and 2.429 WHIP. I'm a bit iffy on Weber, but I expect Roark to pitch another fine outing. Let's hope for a better performance tonight out of Weber and with that I'll take the UNDER with these two struggling teams. Play UNDER |

Cubs are off to a great start tied for the best record in baseball at 10-2. They have won six straight and nine of 10 games. They have a +18 run differential and start a very good pitcher today in Tyler Chatwood. Chatwood is 2-0 in his two starts with a great 0.71 ERA and 0.789 WHIP. He's allowed just one run over his 12 2/3 innings of work. The Royals started the season with some nice wins, but since then it's been all downhill. The Royals are 3-10 and have lost six straight and eight of the last 10. They will turn to first time starter Brad Keller today. For me, I like the Cubs and how they are playing, especially with Chatwood. I'm going to lay the Run-Line here today with the Cubs. |

Castillo is 0-1 in his two starts with a 4.50 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Castillo had a great first start, allowing one run over six innings. However, he got roughed up in game two with five earned runs over six innings to the Tigers. Indians have a great pitching staff and the Reds have their ACE going. I like the UNDER here today. |

Twins are tied for the best record since the start of the season at 10-2. They have scored 63 runs and allowed just 30 runs for the 2nd best run differential in baseball. Kenta Maeda came over in the offseason from the Dodgers and he has already paid dividends. Maeda is 2-0 in his two starts with a 1.64 ERA and 0.636 WHIP. Maeda has looked great and today he faces a Pittsburgh team that is struggling. The Bucs are 2-10 and have the fewest wins in MLB so far. They have scored 39 runs and allowed 59 runs for a -20 run differential. The Bucs will be starting JT Brubaker who will be making his first start of the season.

He'll face the first place Atlanta Braves who are 8-4 and have 69 runs scored this year (tops in baseball). Sean Newcomb will start for the Braves. Newcomb has two starts with a 8.22 ERA.

What do you know, early in this MLB season the Rockies find themselves sitting atop the NL West with a 7-2 record. They have won three straight games and have scored 50 runs and allowed just 20 runs. It's crowded right now atop the division with both San Diego and the Dodgers also having seven wins, though each of those teams have at least four losses. The Giants are 5-6 and fourth in the division, losing two straight games. The Giants pitching has been hit hard, allowing 66 runs over 11 games, that's 6.0 runs per game allowed. That is also worst in the NL. Giants start Kevin Gausman today who went just 4 1/3 innings in his first start against the Padres, allowing six hits and three runs. Rockies start German Marquez today who is 1-1 in his two starts with a 1.54 ERA. Marquez has allowed just two runs in his 11 2/3 innings with three walks and 14 KO's.

The Royals started fast but have cooled since. KC is now last in the AL Central with a 3-8 record, losing four straight games. The offense has been sputtering with just 40 runs over 11 games. The Royals will start Brady Singer today. Singer has two starts but no record. He has gone 10 innings with just four total runs. Kyle Hendricks will counter for the Cubs. Hendricks went nine innings in his first start vs the Brewers, allowing just three hits and no runs. He was hit hard in start two, allowing seven hits and six runs over 4 1/3 innings to the Reds. Despite that bad start, the Royals will be just the medicine for him here today. I'm taking the UNDER. |

Battle for Ohio continues here on Tuesday as the Reds host the Indians. The Reds are 5-5 to start the season while the Indians are 5-6. Cleveland ran it's losing streak to four games with the loss on Monday to the Reds, 2-3. The scoring drought continues with just two runs in that game. Indians have lost four straight games in which they scored a total of four runs. In fact, their last six games have easily gone under the total. The Reds will start Tyler Mahle today. Mahle went four innings in his first start, giving up six hits and two runs to the Cubs. Right now pitching is feasting on this anemic Indians hitting.

They will face a stingy Dodgers' pitching staff that has allowed only 24 runs thus far and is 7-3 on the season. The Dodgers opened up with two wins over then Giants, then dropped their next to the San Francisco. Since then they are 5-1. Walker Buehler starts for LA after going just 3 2/3 innings in his first start at Houston. He allowed two earned runs in that no decision. San Diego will start Chris Paddack who is 1-0 in two starts. He's allowed two total runs over 11 innings of work with just one walk and 10 KO's. I look for a low scoring game here tonight as Paddock has been excellent and the Dodgers overall staff is one of the better ones. Play the UNDER. |

Cleveland has lost three straight games in which they scored a total of two runs against the Twins. In fact, their last five games have easily gone under the total. The Reds will turn to Sonny Gray. Gray has been excellent thus far, going 2-0 with a 0.71 ERA and allowing just one earned run, four hits, three walks and 20 KO's. The Reds will be without power hitter Joey Votto who has been put on the IR with Covid-19. The Indians will counter with Zach Plesac. Plesac has one start and he went a solid eight innings, allowed three total hits and no runs but still got no decision. Both these pitchers look spot on and with the recent under play by the Indians, I'm sticking with that here on Monday. Play UNDER. |

08-03-20 | Mets v. Braves UNDER 7.5 | 7-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Braves off to an excellent start at 7-3 on the season. They have won five straight games after taking the last two games vs the Rays and the first three of this four game set with the Mets. After a wild game one in which the Braves won 11-10, they have since held the Mets to just one run over the last two games. The Mets are last in the NL East at 3-7. They have been hit hard by injuries to their starting staff. Today though they get their Ace on this hill in Jacob deGrom. deGrom has no record in his two starts. He's gone 11 innings thus far with just four hits and two runs allowed with 12 KO's. Mike Soroka will counter for the Braves. Soroka also has no record in his two starts. Soroka's gone 11 1/3 innings with eight hits and two total earned runs. Both starters are excellent and I like this game to go the way the last two have, under. Play UNDER |
