5*Chicago White Sox -111 (Quintana/Chen)


Kansas City won two of three games in Chicago earlier this season, winning the final two games of the series by a combined score of 14-1. The Royals own the worst home record in the American League at 14-23. Chicago is 23-16 on the road, and will look for some payback vs. the MLB All-Star Host team. Take the White Sox!

The D-Bax are just 7-16 vs. teams with a winning record. I like Ervin Santana in home night starts as his ERA is 3.01 for his career. Look for the Angels to bounce back off last night's dismal effort.

Belmont Stakes


Take Union Rags to Win, Place, and Show!

5*Texas Rangers -128 (Harrison/Zito)


Barry Zito has struggled in Interleague Play since joining the Giants in 2007 with a 5-10 won/loss record and 6.21 ERA. Matt Harrison has never faced the Giants and he has been excellent off a team loss. SF is 0-8 after a 15-hit game. Take the Rangers to snap its 4-game losing streak!

5*Tampa Bay Rays -130 (Hutchison/Moore)

5*Colorado Rockies -140 (Beavan/Guthrie)


The Rockies will look to avoid the sweep with Guthrie, who pitches better in the Day than at night. Blake Beavan has never started at Coors Field and this will be a tough test against a hungry Rockies' offense. Beavan doesn't walk many batters, but that plays right in to the Rockies aggressive hitting line-up. Take the Rockies!

4*Cincinnati Reds +149 (Baily/Nova)

10*Toronto Blue Jays -155 (Niese/Romero)


Ricky Romero suffered his first loss of the season due to some control issues on Sunday, allowing four runs and walking five Twins in 5 1/3 innings. He is very good at bouncing back after poor outings and Romero is 25-11 with a 3.49 ERA at Rogers Centre in his career. The Mets have not played a game on Artificial Turf in over 3 years. J. Niese is 3-2 with a 4.86 ERA in six career Interleague starts. Take the Blue Jays in game one!

Kentucky Derby @ Churchill Downs (11th Race)

Gemologist has the classic pedigree to make him a legitimate Kentucky Derby contender. By the amazing sire, Tiznow, only horse to win the Breeder

4*LA Dodgers -130 (Jurrjens/Capuano)

5*Milwaukee Brewers -127 (Chacin/Marcum)


This will be the first true game indoors for the Rockies this season. Jhoulys Chacin has never pitched at Miller Park in his career. Shawn Marcum is 51-33 with a 3.76 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in his career. Solid. He is also very good after a team loss. Take Milwaukee!

4*Toronto Blue Jays -138 (Niemann/Romero)

5*Colorado Rockies -144

4*Cincinnati Reds -106 (Lohse/Leake)

4*Baltimore -123 (Swarzack/Hammel)

3*Toronto Blue Jays -115 (Romero/Masterson)

Ricky Romero is coming off his most successful year in the big leagues, having gone 15-11 with a 2.92 ERA en route to his first All-Star appearance in 2011. He is 42-29 with a 3.60 ERA in his career and has a 3.44 ERA in all day games. Last season, Masterson was 2-6 with a 3.59 ERA in day games and 10-4 with a 2.99 ERA at night.

5*St. Louis Cardinals -118


C.J. Wilson has never pitched in a game at Bush. Chris Carpenter knows the mound and ballpark pretty well. His 28-12 with a 2.89 ERA at home over the last four seasons is impressive. The Cards are hitting .301 vs left-handed starters at home since the playoffs began. Texas was just 9-9 vs. the National League this season. A little surprising. Take the Cards in game one. Take the Rangers to win the whole thing.

5*Texas Rangers

5*Milwaukee Brewers


I like Gallardo at home off a team loss. He has been great in this role during his career. The Brewers are batting 25 points higher at home than the D-Backs on the road. Ian Kennedy has been better at home than on the road. Brewers advance!
