New York Yankees at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Phillies over Yankees- Philadelphia came up with another 'walk-off' win yesterday as the Yankees defense let them down once again when it counted. Philly will start Aaron Nola (4-4, 4.06 ERA) who is making his 14th start of the season and his second career start against New York and in his only appearance against them he last six inning giving up one run on three hits last season. The Yankees will start Domingo 'wife-beater' German (4-3, 3.12) who has allowed three runs or fewer in nine consecutive starts but has no record against the Phils. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Houston at Minnesota 7:10 ET Twins over Astros- One of the most disappointing MLB clubs this season has to be the Twins who are currently 13-games under 500 and are just 13-20 at home. Today they will host the best offensive team in baseball as the Astros lead the Majors in batting, runs, OPS and fewest strikeouts. Minnesota who has had a power failure this season after leading the AL in homers last season is 29th of 30 in pitching runs allowed, home runs allowed 27th and 29th in opponents OPS. The Twins lone bright spot in their rotation has been Jose Barrios (6-2, 3.58 ERA) who has won his last four decisions and has allowed just 59 hits in 70.1 innings of work. Take MINNESOTA! |

Toronto at Boston 4:10 ET Red Sox over Blue Jays- The Red Sox have to be one of the biggest surprises in the AL as they enter this fray 14-games over 500 as they produce runs in bunches. Boston will start this year's best hurler in Nick Pivetta (6-1, 3.78 ERA) who is 3-0 at Fenway park this season while the Red Sox have won seven of their last nine. Toronto will send Steven Matz (6-3, 4.50) to the hill and the hard hitting Sox should have a field day against this left-handed impostor who is 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA against Boston. Take the RED SOX! |

It's seems a bit off that the Blue Jays are favored on the road against the AL Central Division leader although they play every game on the road they are 8-3 when not hosting. The White Sox are 7-20 in their last 27 games as underdogs. Take TORONTO! |

The Red Sox will pitch Eduardo Rodriguez (5-4, 5.59) who is 1-3 with a 7.84 ERA against the Astros but is off his best against the Yankees. Take BOSTON! |

Cleveland at St. Louis 8:15 ET Indians over Cardinals- Cleveland like most MLB clubs are searching for starting pitching and they have gone to their bullpen in hopes of filling the void. So, the Indians will start Jean Carlos Mejia (1-0, 0.00 ERA) who has yet to allow a run in eight innings work in five relief appearances surrendering just three hits. St. Louis will counter with veteran starter Adam Wainwright (3-5, 4.19) who has been banged around in his last two starts while the Red Birds are playing dead and have lost their last six games and are 4-7 in Wainwright's 11 starts this season. The Tribe have won 4-of-5 meetings in St. Louis and are 8-3 in their last 11 games as underdogs while the Cards are 3-10 against teams with winning records. Take CLEVELAND! |

Houston at Boston 7:10 ET Astros over Red Sox- MLB's two big cheaters face-off in Fenway Park and we are trying to figure out which illegal spies will be in full force. Houston sends left-hander Framber Valdez (1-0, 1.64 ERA) to the mound after he held Boston to one run and struck out 10 over seven innings in his second start of the season June 2. The Red Sox counter with southpaw Martin Perez (4-2, 3.09) and Perez is 4-1 with a 1.98 ERA in his past seven starts. He is 8-4 with a 2.46 ERA in 13 career starts against the Astros. Valdez picked up the first win of his career against the Red Sox with his brilliant performance last week. He is 1-1 with a 1.86 ERA in three games (one start) against Boston. Take HOUSTON! |

06-07-21 | Cubs +114 v. Padres | Top | 4-9 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
Chicago Cubs at San Diego 10:10 ET Cubs over Padres- Chicago's Adbert Alzolay (4-4 3.62 ERA) has 58 K's in the season and in his last three outings 1.53 ERA with 19 K's and four walks covering 17.2 innings. The Padres are floundering going 2-6 in their last 8 while Cubs had lost 3-straight to the Giants before Sunday's win. The Cubs are 21-8 versus lefties and that's what's starting for San Diego Ryan Weathers, (2-2, 2.06) he has been good, but it won't be enough here. Take THE CUBS! |

06-07-21 | Royals +140 v. Angels | 3-8 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
Kansas City at L.A. Angels 9:35 ET Royals over Angels- Kansas City's No. 4 prospect Jackson Kowar will make his major league debut after he was 5-0 with a 0.85 ERA with 41 K's and 10 walks at Triple-A Omaha and this all in 31.2 innings. A sweet spot to open you career on the road against the lifeless LA Angels who will start (are you ready) Dylan Bundy (0-6, 6.48 ERA) who has a12.34 ERA in last 15.1 innings in four starts. Now we know Bundy has been capable in the past but I expect his funk to continue. Take the ROYALS! |

Miami at Boston 5:10 ET Marlins over Red Sox- Miami has struggled away from friendly South Beach and is 13-21 on the road and they will face Boston's Nick Pivetta (6-1, 3.77 ERA) who is just 2-4 with a 5.36 ERA 11 career appearances against the Marlins. Miami will start Pablo Lopez (1-3, 2.82) who last time out had 9 K's in 4-innings of work while throwing 90 pitches. Boston should return home a bit overconfident sweeping the Yankees 3-0 in New York after having lost 11 straight over a two year span in the Bronx. After winning against the Yankees meeting the Marlins will be a big come-down for the Sox and they may be ripe for the plucking. The Marlins are a lot tougher than most realize and Lopez has been their best in the past. Take MIAMI |

06-06-21 | Mets v. Padres -137 | 6-2 | Loss | -137 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
New York Mets at San Diego 4:10 ET Padres over Mets- New York who leads the NL East and is just 13-18 on the road while San Diego is 20-11 playing at home, so the advantage seems obvious. The Mets will send Marcus Stroman (4-4, 2.64 ERA) to the hill and he is making his first start at Petco Park while the Padres will send out Chris Paddock (2-4, 4.24) who is 1-1 lifetime against the Mets. This is the first meeting between San Diego's Paddock and New York's Pete Alonzo since their dust-up confrontation two seasons ago. The Muts are 28th of 30 MLB teams in scoring while the Padres surrendered the fewest runs per start in baseball. Take SAN DIEGO! |

06-06-21 | Cubs -106 v. Giants | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
Chicago Cubs at San Francisco 4:05 ET Cubs over Giants- This could end up a great pitching matchup if they let the starters last as long as they can as Chicago will send veteran Kyle Hendricks (6-4, 4.62 ERA) to the mound to face the Giants Johnny Cueto (4-1, 3.45). After winning 9-of-10 Chicago has dropped three straight to San Francisco as their pitching has faltered. It seems a bit odd that the Cubs be favored on the road in SF after losing three straight as the Giants are 18-8 at home. Hendricks is 4-0 with a 2.60 ERA in his last four starts while Cueto is 9-9 lifetime with a 3.41 ERA against the baby bears. Seems odd but take CHICAGO! |

Houston at Toronto 1:05 ET Blue Jays over Astros- The Blue Jays have finally moved into their home field, although it is in Buffalo and the team still haven't played a game in Toronto for two seasons. Houston will send Luis Garcia (4-3, 2.89 ERA) to the bump and he has never faced the Blue Jays who will send Steven Matz (6-2, 4.22) to the mound and he is 1-0 against the Astros although it wasn't a strong performance. Houston has won just one of their last five road games and the Jays are 7-1 in their last eight starts against a right-handed starter. Take TORONTO! |

MLB Money Game Boston at New York Yankees 7:15 ET Yankees over Red Sox- The most historic rivalry in MLB history continues in New York where the Yankees will host their nemesis from Boston. The Red Sox who got off to a great start (after losing their opening three games at home against the Orioles) have one of the better balanced line up in the AL and will send lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (5-4, 5.64 ERA) to the mound. The Yankees will instruct Jameson Taillon (1-4, 5.10) to take the hill and he has not won since May 1 while Rodriguez has lost his last four starts. Take NEW YORK! |

Cleveland at Baltimore 4:05 ET Orioles over Indians- This one sets up as a pitching duel between respective aces between a pair of also-rans. Cleveland will send Aaron Civale (7-2 3.28 ERA) out to pitch against Baltimore's John (No-hit) Means (4-1, 2.05) who was tagged with his first loss of the season his last time out against the White Sox as the Orioles have lost his last four starts. The numbers and trends are not favorable for Baltimore as they are coming off a 14-game losing streak and that will skew the results (although they are part of the overall trends for sure). Take BALTIMORE! |

MLB Power Play Game Houston at Toronto 3:07 ET Astros over Blue Jays- Both of these clubs are headed in the right direction after coming off bad stretches. Houston is 5-1 in their last six games after losing six of seven while the Blue Jays are 6-3 after having lost six straight. Toronto is playing just their fourth game at Sahlen Field in Buffalo after going 10-11 in their first 21 home games in Dunedin, Florida. Toronto (?) will start Ross Stripling (1-3, 5.11 ERA) while the Astros will start Jose Urquidy (4-2, 3.02) and I believe that Houston has a huge advantage on the mound and are 6-2 versus the Jays on the road. Take HOUSTON! |

AL Money Game Cleveland at Baltimore 7:05 ET Orioles over Indians- A couple of 'newbies' will be making starts in this matchup of also-rans. The Orioles who had lost 14 straight games have now won their past two and will be sending rookie left-hander Keegan Akin (0-0, 4.80 ERA) who will be making his second career start. Cleveland send Jean Carlos Mejis (1-0, 0.00) to the Bump for his first career start after four relief appearances.

Washington at Philadelphia 7:05 ET Nationals over Phillies- The last time Philadelphia played a baseball game they scored 17 runs on Tuesday as they destroyed the Reds with seven home runs. After a rainout on Wednesday and Thursday off the Phillies have had three full days to pat themselves on the back. Prior to that outburst Philadelphia had gone six games scoring a total 12 runs losing 5-of-6. Tonight, they will start their ace Zack Wheeler (4-2, 2.52 ERA) who is 6-1 with a 4.45 ERA in 21 starts lifetime against the Nationals. Washington will start Max Scherzer (4-4, 2.34) and he has dominated the Phillies going 11-4 with a 2.70 ERA in 21 starts including 5-1 at Philly. Take WASHINGTON! |

Former Reds hurler Anthony DeSclafani (4-2, 3.56 ERA) gets the start for the home team and he is 4-3 with a 3.91 ERA in 12 starts against the Cubs surrendering 13 home runs. Zach Davies (2-2, 4.65) get the nod for Chicago and he is 1-2 against SF with a fine 2.10 ERA in six career starts. The Cubs are 4-0 in the last four meetings and the beat goes on...take the CUBS! |

Cincinnati at St. Louis 8:15 ET Reds over Cardinals- St. Louis returns home after a 10-game road trip going 5-5 closing with a 14-3 loss to the Dodgers yesterday. Adam Wainwright (3-4, 4.22 ERA) gets the start for the Red BirdS and it appears that his better days are behind him and he is 10-14 lifetime against Cincinnati. The Reds will send Vladimir Gutierrez (0-1, 1.80) who suffered a loss in his only start despite allowing just one run and two hits in five innings against the Cubs. St. Louis has had the best of Cincy in the 'Gateway' city but the Cardinals should be distracted with all the chores that built up while they were on the road. Take CINCINNATI! |

Minnesota at Kansas City 8:10 ET Twins over Royals- What has happened to the Minnesota Twins? I understand that it's a long season and we are barley 1/3 of the way through but they have shown little sign that they will be a contender as they are 11 games under .500 after 55 outings. Kansas City is a-game over at 27-26 after winning 11 of their last 17 games and will start Kris Bubic (1-0, 1.52 ERA) while the Twinkies will start another lefty J.A. Happ (3-2, 5.24) and he picked up a win over the Royals last Sunday allowing two runs on just three hits in five innings striking out five. Take MINNESOTA! |

Tampa Bay at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Rays- I have little doubt in my mind that the rays are a better balanced team and more equipped to win than are the Yankees but New York has shown signs of life against Tampa Bay in the more recent meetings. The Rays started the season series winning 4-of-5 meetings but the Yanks have won 3-of-5 since. Tampa has won 16 of their last 18 games with both losses coming against the Yankees. Look for more of the same...take NEW YORK! |

Cincinnati has the two top hitting leaders in the NL where only seven players are hitting .300 or better with Nick Castellos and Jesse Winkler leading the way. The Reds will start Sonny Gray (1-3, 3.40 ERA) who posted his first victory last time out against the Nationals throwing six shutout innings allowing just two hits.

Tampa Bay at New York Yankees 1:05 ET Yankees over Rays- Talk about ships passing in the night as the Yankees were swept in Detroit for the first time in 21 years and have lost 5-of-6 while Tampa Bay is on a 15-1 tear. Tampa Bay swept the first series (3-0) in New York and are 8-1 in their last nine at Yankee Stadium and 6-3 on the year against New York. Rick Hill (3-2, 3.63 ERA) will start for the Rays and he is 3-2 with a 4.05 ERA in 13 appearances against the Yanks. The Bronx Bombers will send Jameson Taillon (1-3, 5.06) to the bump and he is 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in a pair of starts against the Rays. I'm looking for the New York to regain some 'Yankee Pride' and win this one. Take NEW YORK! |

Cincinnati at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Reds over Cubs- Cincinnati who started the season as the hottest hitting team in MLB has fallen back of late losing 7-of-10 including their last two at Chicago to the Cubs. Tyler Mahle (3-2, 3.75 ERA) takes the hill for the Reds and he is off his best performance of the year out-dueling the Nationals Max Scherzer throwing 5+ innings allowing no runs and only three hits. Chicago will send out veteran Jake Arrieta (5-4, 4.37) who mis 7-3 lifetime against the Redlegs but one of those losses can April 30 when he was bombed for seven runs in 3.1 innings. The Cubs have won six straight and 10-2 in their last 12 home games. Still, with this price the Reds should prevail. Take CINCINNATI! |

Atlanta at New York Mets 7:15 ET Braves over Mets- I was a little taken back by the fact that the Braves opened such a strong favorite at Citi Field in New York. After all, the Mets just swept a double-header and are the NL East leaders having a 5-game lead in the loss column over Atlanta. The Braves will start Ian Anderson (4-1, 2.82 ERA) who is 0-1 against the Mets with one start last September and New York will start Taijuan Walker (3-1, 2.05) who has been outstanding but is making this start of the IL.

St. Louis at Arizona 9:40 ET Diamondbacks over Cardinals- Okay, I understand how bad Arizona is right now having lost 10 straight 13-of-14 and 19-of-22 after a 15-13 start. What I don't understand is how do the bookies make this a pick-em matchup when the Cardinals are 14-3 in their last 17 as favorites which they will be by game time. Matt Peacock (1-1, 4.91 ERA) has had one bad outing surrendering seven runs but otherwise has been very effective. He's making his third straight start and is off his best performance of the season allowing one run in 5+ innings against the Dodgers. Carlos Martinez (3-4, 4.18) gets the start for St. Louis and he has won three straight decisions which makes this 'price' even more inviting. I'm not falling for it or am being 'suckered.' I'm taking ARIZONA! |

Clayton Kershaw (6-3, 3.18 ERA) is throwing as good as ever and is 3-2 with a 2.38 ERA in six career starts against Houston. One of the losses he incurred was at Houston during the playoffs when the Astros were aware of what pitch was coming and Kershaw was irate when is was revealed that Houston was stealing pitches. Anyway Zack Grienke (4-1, 3.77) and is off his best outing in a month allowing just one run in eight innings against Oakland. He was 51-15 with a 2.30 ERA when with the Dodgers from 2013-15 and tonight he takes them down. Take HOUSTON! |

MLB Money Game San Diego at Milwaukee 7:40 ET Brewers over Padres- Interesting pitching matchup as San Diego will send Joe (No-Hit) Musgrove (4-4, 2.47 ERA) against the Brewers Corbin Burnes (2-3, 1.79). Both of these pitchers have been victims of a short supply of runs and should have fared better. Burnes was off to an incredible start to the season striking out 49 before he committed his first walk and his current ratio is 67/2 with at least nine strikeouts per start. Padres should fade on the road after a nine games home winning streak. Take MILWAUKEE! |

The White Sox just got swept three games at Yankee Stadium but still lead the AL Central. Someone must notify Tony La Russa that he's coaching against one of his former teams.

Now, I like John Means and for the most part look to play 'on' him and Baltimore went on the score five runs in the top of the first their next game and saw Matt Harvey blowup as the O's have now lost six in-a-row and 9-of-10.

Tonight, they will start Jordan Montgomery (2-1, 4.75 ERA) who was knocked around by Baltimore last time out.

Chicago White Sox at Minnesota 7:40 ET Twins over White Sox- Believe me folks this may be the last time that I 'play' on the Twins this season as they have won only once when I have posted them and yesterday they were routed by the White Sox. Chicago has the MLB's highest scoring offense and pounded Minnesota Monday 16-4. But, like I stated previously that after a humiliating loss professionals bounce back with determination next time out. Michael Pineda (2-2, 2.79 ERA) has been the lone bright spot in the starting rotation for the Twins and his mound opponent will be the rejuvenated Lance Lynn (4-1, 1.30) who is 1-0 lifetime over Minnesota. Pineda had a shaky start last time out against the White Sox and is 5-4 with a 3.38 ERA in 10 career starts against them and has allowed two runs or fewer in five of his seven starts. The White Sox have the best record in MLB and are 23-2 in their last 25 starts against left-handers but a mere 36-38 against righties. Take MINNESOTA! |

Tonight San Francisco will start Anthony DeSclafani (3-1, 2.14 ERA) as he make his first start against his former team. The Reds starter Luis Castillo (1-5, 7.71) has been abysmal this season and is off the worst outing of his career as he was tagged for eight runs and 10 hits in 3.2 innings against the Rockies.

Philadelphia at Washington 7:05 ET Phillies over Nationals- For a team that is just 6-11 on the road the Phillies are a heavy favorite at Washington tonight. Starting pitching is the strongest factor as Philadelphia will send Zack Wheeler (3-2, 2.83 ERA) to the mound and is 20 starts against the Nationals he is a meager 6-11 with a 4.64 ERA. One should consider that these starts against the Nat's were when they had a line-up that was postseason worthy, not so much any more. Veteran left-hander Jon Lester (0-1, 2.70) gets the nod for Washington and he has dominated the Phillies when pitching for the Cubs going 8-1 with a 1.92 ERA in 11 starts.

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 6:35 ET Pirates over Reds- Cincinnati pounded the Pirates 14-1 Monday and have now won all four meetings this season and the last eight meetings overall. Today, the Reds will start Jeff Hoffman (2-2, 4.39 ERA) who came from Colorado where he was 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA in a pair of starts against Pittsburgh. The Buc's will start their most effective hurler in JT Brubaker (2-2, 2.78) and he is 0-1 with a 1.93 ERA in two starts against the Reds who are 3-7 on the road and 3-8 as underdogs.

Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:00 ET Phillies over Braves- What an improbable 8-7 win the Braves posted last night against the Phillies as they scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game, scored another run in the bottom of the 11th inning to tie it once again and then scored four runs in the bottom of the 12th for the victory. Philadelphia's bullpen blew the lead three times while they committed three errors in the final innings. I look for the Phillies to bounce back with Aaron Nola (3-1, 2.89 ERA) on the mound while Atlanta will start Hiascar Ynoa (3-1, 2.36) who hit a grand slam of his own last time out. This time his hitting won't be enough. Take the PHILLIES! |

Cincinnati at Cleveland 6:10 ET Reds over Indians- This season there have already been four no-hitter thrown this season and two of them have come against the Cleveland Indians who were no-hit by the Reds Wade Miley last night. Usually, I look to play 'on' a team that has been no-hit the previous time out but this Cleveland team has trouble putting the bat on the ball. They will face Cincinnati's opening day hurler Luis Castillo (1-3, 6.07 ERA) who is 0-1 with a 3.27 ERA in a pair of starts against the Indians. Cleveland will start Aaron Civale (4-0, 3.30) and the Tribe have averaged seven runs in his starts but he has had just seven career wins in 22 starts. Take CINCINNATI! |

San Diego at San Francisco 4:04 ET Padres over Giants- San Diego is supposed to be the team that can challenge the 'unbeatable' Dodgers in the NL West but so far it has been the Giants that have proved to be their biggest competitor. The Padres will send Joe (No-Hit) Musgrove (2-3, 2.38 ERA) to the hill against San Francisco's rejuvenated Kevin Gausman (2-0, 2.04) who has given up two runs on 11 hits and two walks with 11 K's in 13 innings with a 1.38 ERA against the Padres. Since his no-hitter Musgrove has struggled and he is 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts against the Giants. Last Sunday Gausman got the best of Musgrove winning 7-1, this time it's the Padres turn as they are 13-6 in the last 19 meetings. Take SAN DIEGO! |

Seattle at Texas 8:00 ET Mariners over Rangers- It is no wonder the Mariners were no-hit last time out by Baltimore's John Means as and have they just one player hitting above .250 and MLB team low batting average of .201. Texas will start Mike Foltynewicz (1-3, 4.43 ERA) who had a rough start to the season but is 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA in his last three starts but he is 0-2 with na 9.45 ERA lifetime against the Mariners. Seattle will start Chris Flexen (2-1, 3.33) and they are 14-4 in their last 18 games after a loss and 4-0 after a day off.

He started the year surrendering 17 runs in his first 13.2 inning of work and he is 2-4 with a 4.47 ERA in 10n career starts against Miami.

New York Mets at St. Louis 1:15 ET Mets over Cardinals- The 'price' of this game has me baffled as the below .500 Mets are favored on the road at St. Louis against the first-place (18-13) Cardinals. This becomes even more pronounced went we look at the starting pitching. The Red Birds will send John Gant (2-2, 2.16 ERA) to the mound and he has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his five starts and is 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA in seven appearances against the Mets. New York will start Taijuan Walker (1-1, 3.00) who is 0-1 with a 3.50 ERA against the Cardinals. Add that the Mets are 2-7 in the last nine meetings and 20-42 in the last 62 meetings in St. Louis...and yet looks who's favored. Take NEW YORK! |

Milwaukee at Philadelphia 7:05 ET Brewers over Phillies- I know my first instinct in this matchup isn to take Milwaukee and I have two issues with my own selection. To start with the brewers have lost three-in-a-row and I don't like playing teams that are losing and the 'public' will be and is all over the Brew Crew here. They like them for the same reason I do and that is the pitching advantage the Brewers have with Freddy Peralta (3-0, 2.25 ERA) on the hill against the Phillies Chase Anderson (1-3, 5.40). Milwaukee is 4-1 in Peralta's starts while the Phillies are 1-4 in Anderson's starts and just 7-15 in the last 22 meetings in Philadelphia. Brewers are 8-2 in their last 10 following a loss and 8-3 in their last 11 road games against right-handed pitchers. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Houston at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Astros- In New York this game is being billed as a revenge game for New York as this is the first time Houston is to play at Yankee Stadium for the first time since the Astros cheating scandal. The quotes go like this 'they cheated and never faced any consequences' and that's just the fan base, the Yankees themselves feel that Houston's 2019 walk off win was tainted. Zack Greinke (2-1, 3.44 ERA) is 4-4 with a 5.05 ERA in 12 starts against New York with an 0-3 record with an ERA of 8.46 in Yankee Stadium.

Ohtani has has seen limited action on the bump this season having worked just 13.2 total innings striking out 23 and allowing just six hits. His pitching opponent today will be Tyler Glasnow (3-1, 1.67) who has allowed only 19 hits in 37.2 innings with 56 strikeouts.

As far as losses go it's a good thing for the Brewers that wins are not determined by margin of victory as they were pasted by the Dodgers 16-4 Sunday. Usually, I look to play on teams after such a loss but Milwaukee is truly banged -up with their two best player Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain among 17 players listed on the IL. The Brewers will start Adrian Houser (2-2, 3.65 ERA) and he has worked a total of five innings against the Phils allowing just one run.

New York will start Marcus Stroman (3-1, 2.22 ERA) who to me was a guy that had great stuff but could never get it done and I had thoughts that he was done. But, Stroman has new 'life' and his stuff is as lovely as ever despite coming off his worst performance of the season I expect him to bounce back here.
