5 Unit Play. Take #905 Over in San Francisco vs St Louis (7:15p.m., Thursday, June 20 FOX) MLB AT RICKWOOD FIELD. Neither team is throwing a good pitcher on Thursday night and expect the bats to be alive and swinging. The Cardinals are getting going offensively scoring a ton of runs against the Marlins (18 runs in three games) and lost two of three. Both of tonight’s starting pitchers are giving up a ton of hits and I feel at least one of them is going to get bombed in this game. We will not worry about who one that is and just collect with the over.

6 Unit Play. Take #952 Pittsburgh over Cincinnati (12:35p.m., Wednesday, June 19 MLB.tv) We have done well this season fading the Reds and will do so once again on Wednesday. This is the rubber game of this series and I feel Mitch Keller will get this job done. He has good statistics for the year including a 3.5 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio. He has also kept the ball in the ballpark and win a low scoring game. Hunter Green gets a lot of strikeouts but has been giving up runs of late (11 earned runs in his last 3 starts).

3 Unit Play. Take #914 Cleveland over Seattle (6:40p.m., Tuesday, June 18 MLB.tv) These are two good teams battling in Cleveland tonight. We will side with the home team tonight, as Cleveland is 21-8 at home this season. Triston McKenzie pitched well in his last start and I look for another strong showing from him on Tuesday.

3 Unit Play. Take #928 Arizona (-1.5 RL) over Chicago (4:10p.m., Sunday, June 16 MLB.tv) The Diamondbacks are still 3 games below .500 and need to pick up the pace if they want to make the playoffs in 2024. They are the defending NL Champions and do not want to lose a series to the White Sox, the worst team in the league. Jordan Montgomery is playing for his next contract and look for him to get back on track soon.

7 Unit Play. Take #958 Milwaukee over Cincinnati (4:10p.m., Saturday, June 15 MLB.tv) We went against the Reds on Sunday when they had a chance to get back to .500 and we will do so again on Saturday. Both pitchers are similar with their stats, and I look for a bounce back by Bryse Wilson after a poor start last time out. The Brewers have the more consistent offense and should be able to get to Andrew Abbott in this game. The Brewers have a solid .255 batting average and have scored 35 more runs than the Reds on the season. Look for them to even up this series at one game apiece and we will collect with a low odds winner.

4 Unit Play. Take New York over Boston (6:30p.m., Friday, June 14 MLBN) Boston does not care much about this series with the Celtics one win away from an NBA Championship. They scored a ton of runs yesterday against Philadelphia but face a strong pitcher tonight in Luis Gil. He is 8-1 with a 2.04 E.R.A. and a 0.93 WHIP. He has came out of nowhere and look for his trends to continue on Friday.

7 Unit Play. Take #659 Over in Chicago White Sox @ Seattle Mariners (9:40p.m., Thursday, June 13 MLB.tv) You do not see a total this low often in MLB and we have collected easily this season with this exact number. The White Sox are terrible, but they have been scoring more runs during the month of June. Tonight’s starting pitchers are solid, but they have E.R.A.’s in the mid 3’s and also have been prone to the long ball. Just do not expect either one of them to throw a shutout and neither bullpen is all that strong. I really believe one team will come close to going over the posted number by themselves.

3 Unit Play. Take #917 Over in Atlanta @ Baltimore (6:35p.m., Wednesday, June 12 MLB.tv) Just feel that one of these pitchers is going to be bombed in this game and expect a team to come close to going over the posted total by themselves. Both starting pitchers have his E.R.A’s and the Braves are in free fall at the moment giving up a ton of runs.

3 Unit Play. Take #974 San Diego over Oakland (9:40p.m., Tuesday, June 10 MLB.tv) The Padres are just a better team than Oakland is on both sides of the field. We used them last night and won easy, as the Padres allowed just one earned run. Look for another dominating performance on Tuesday as we collect again with the home team as a number we can attack.

3 Unit Play. Take #912 San Diego (-1.5 RL) +105 over Oakland (9:40p.m., Monday, June 10 MLB.tv) Oakland is still a terrible team and they are facing Dlyan Cease on Monday night. Getting the Padres at this price is too good to pass up. Cease should be able to overpower this lineup and cruise to a 3-4 run victory if the Padres hit a little.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

7 Unit Play. Take #955 Chicago -130 over Cincinnati (1:40p.m., Sunday, June 9 MLB.tv) These two teams are heading in opposite directions, but I feel the Cubs have a major edge in starting pitching on Sunday behind Shota Imanage. He had one bad outing against the Brewers two starts ago, but rebounded well and I see him throwing a strong outing today in a game the Cubs desperately need. Chicago does not want to lose 4 straight games to Cincinnati and look for them to get it down on Sunday. The last two games could have gone either way, but it is the Cubs turn for some luck and expect them to pound Frankie Montas. He pitched well against the Rockies last time out, but that team is terrible and look for the Cubs to fare much better against him.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #913 Over in Boston @ Chicago (4:10p.m., Saturday, June 8 MLB.tv) The White Sox are terrible, but I continue to see them scoring some runs, thus we will look to cash the over for a third straight game in this series. They hit hard a good pitcher and it will not surprise me if history repeats itself on Saturday.

3 Unit Play. Take #961 Over 7.5 in Boston @ Chicago (8:10p.m., Friday, June 7 MLB.tv) We used this play on Thursday and easily collected so we will go to the well once again. These two starting pitchers have been good in 2024 but they are not lock down pitchers and one of them will get lite up like last night.

3 Unit Play. Take #919 Over 8.5 in Boston @ Chicago (8:10p.m., Thursday, June 6 MLB.tv) The White Sox lost two brutal games to the Cubs and are one of the historical worst teams of all time. They have shown over the last two series that they can score runs and look for the over to hit again on Thursday. Tanner Houck has great numbers, but I feel one of these offenses will break out and get close to the number by themselves.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

5 Unit Play. Take #978 Chicago Cubs over Chicago White Sox (8:05p.m., Tuesday, June 5 MLB.tv) No bet against the White Sox is a bad bet in 2024. They are terrible and getting an underdog price fading them is too good to pass up. The White Sox got up for the game yesterday, built a 5-0 lead and still lost the game. The White Sox are sending their best pitcher to the mound in Erick Fedde, but he got hit hard last time out and has been hit hard in two of his last three starts. He team has lost his last three starts (all by least two runs) and his team losing will take its toll on him. Sooner or later the Cubs will have a big inning in this game and blow out the White Sox.

2 Unit Play. Take #923 Atlanta -160 over Boston (7:10p.m., Tuesday, June 4 MLB.tv) These traditional interleague rivals are set to play one another tonight at Fenway Park in Boston, MA. The Braves have a strong edge in pitching and we will lay the wood with them tonight.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

2 Unit Play. Take #964 Houston over St. Louis (8:10p.m., Monday, June 3 MLB.tv) Tough spot for the Cardinals playing an extra inning game last night and now must travel to Houston on face Justin Verlander. The Astors are one of the most disappointing teams this season but should be able to take game one of this series.

10 Unit Play. Take #928 Kansas City Royals over San Diego Padres (2:10p.m., Sunday, June 2 MLB.tv) MLB GAME OF THE YEAR The Royals have not been swept in a series this year and the Padres have not swept a series this year. Look for both things to hold true again, as the Royals salvage the final game of the series. The Royals have the edge in starting pitching today behind southpaw Cole Ragans, as he has 83 strikeouts in just 67 innings of work. He keeps the ball side the fence much better than does Michael King, a pitcher that has given up 13 home runs in just 66 innings of work. Ragans has better starts then King in basically every category and he knows the importance of this game to right the ship. The Padres have been playing better baseball of late, but I just do not trust them. They lost their closer in the offseason and traded away their best hitter to the Yankees. They should contend for a wild card berth, but I do not see them making a long run in the playoffs. The Royals are still 10 games over .500 and 21-10 at home this season. They want to win on getaway day in order to build momentum to face the division leading Guardians next. They get it and we collect big in the process as well.

3 Unit Play. Take #976 Milwaukee -155 over Chicago (4:10p.m., Saturday, June 1 MLB.tv) The White Sox threw their best pitcher last night and still lost big despite having an early lead. They are terrible and only having to lay this price while fading them is too good to pass up.

Best of Luck- Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #905 Over 7 in Arizona @ New York (7:10p.m., Friday, May 31 MLB.tv) The Mets are in turmoil but expect them to score some runs in this game. Jordan Montgomery came to the Diamondbacks late in spring training and I see him struggling again on Friday night. Luis Severino is not the same pitcher that he once was and I just feel one of these pitchers is going to get hit hard. We will not worry about who that is and just collect with the over.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

6 Unit Play. Take #965 Over in New York @ Los Angeles (9:38p.m., Thursday, May 30 MLBN) Both games thus far have been low scoring and under the posted total, but I expect the law of averages to kick in for the rubber game of this series. Just feel one of these pitchers is going to get bombed tonight and we will not worry about if the Yankees can cover this big number and just collect with the over. Patrick Sandoval is just a batting practice pitcher with a 19.64 E.R.A. in his last start.

3 Unit Play. Take #921 New York (-1.5 RL) over Los Angeles (9:38p.m., Wednesday, May 29 Prime) The Yankees blew a late lead last night and look for them to even up this series at 1-1, as the Angels are one of the worst teams in the league. This is a strong pitching matchup, but the Yankees have a major edge in their everyday lineup.

5 Unit Play. Take #914 Baltimore -155 over Boston (1:05p.m., Monday, May 27 MLBN) Boston was lucky to one of the three games they had against Milwaukee over the weekend. Now they face a left handed pitcher from one of the top teams in the league. Baltimore is better on both sides of the mound and will take down Boston on Memorial Day. Cooper Criswell has given up a lot of hots in his starts and look for the Orioles to capitalize on that.

7 Unit Play. Take #928 Boston Red Sox -145 over Milwaukee Brewers (4:10p.m., Saturday, May 25 MLBN) The Brewers dominated game one and we collected with them at an underdog price. Now we expect the Red Sox to even up the series behind Nick Pivetta. He has been strong most of the season and if he keeps the ball in the park he is really tough to score runs on. Colin Rhea has a 10.38 E.R.A. over the last 7 days and has given up 14 hits and 5 walks combined in his last two starts. The Brewers used an opener last night and will be some length from him tonight and I expect him to be pounded. Boston evens up this series and we collect with medium odds and what figures to be a pitching mismatch.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports

2 Unit Play. Take #977 Milwaukee over Boston (7:10p.m., Friday, May 24 Apple TV) The Red Sox are just 10-13 at home and the Brewers are 16-12 away from American Family Field. Both pitchers have been solid this season but I just like the Brewers offense better. Boston still has some injuries to their everyday lineup and look for Milwaukee to grad game one of this series. Bryse Wilson has a strong WHIP, he just needs to keep the ball inside the park.

7 Unit Play. Take #963 Detroit Tigers over Kansas City Royals (2:10p.m., Wednesday, May 22 MLB.tv) Getting Tarik Skubal at this price is too good to pass up. He is 6-0 this season and should be well rested after coming off a no stress six inning out last Friday in Arizona. He has a 0.78 WHIP to go along with an 8-1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Tigers offense always seems to get up when he is on the mound and they need to produce for him on Wednesday to avoid being swept by the Royals. Cole Ragans has pitched well this season for Kansas City, but his numbers are just not as good as Skubal.

2 Unit Play. Take #914 New York over Seattle (7:05p.m., Tuesday, May 21 MLB.tv) The Mariners scored 4 runs in the ninth inning last night to win by 1 run. The Yankees have a bad taste in their mouth after that game and expect them to get back to their winning ways on Tuesday. Clarke Schmidt has been outstanding this season with 55 k’s in just over 50 innings of work. Look for a monster showing from him tonight, as the Yankees even up this series at one game apiece.

6 Unit Play. Take #960 Tampa Bay over Boston (6:50p.m., Monday, May 20 MLB.tv) The Red Sox are no longer above .500 and historically do not play well at the dome in Tampa Bay. Both pitchers have been strong this season and have faced one another recently. Tanner Houck has not been as strong of late, and I see him giving up another 3 runs in this start. That likely will not be good enough to win and we will side with the home team.

3 Unit Play. Take #980 Arizona -145 over Detroit (8:10p.m., Saturday, May 18 MLB.tv) We used a big play on the Tigers last night behind their ace and we go the opposite way on Saturday behind the Snakes ace. Detroit scored 13 runs last night, but was shutout the previous two games and I do not see them having much success tonight facing Gallen.

7 Unit Play. Take #929 Detroit Tigers over Arizona Diamondbacks (9:40p.m., Friday, May 17 MLB.tv) The Tigers have struggled to score runs of late, but they will breakout in this game against a weak pitcher in Ryne Nelson. Detroit has a major edge in starting pitching tonight with their ace Tarik Skubal on the mound. He is the frontrunner for the Cy Young this season in the Tarik Skubal. He has been outstanding this season in every aspect of pitching and look for another quality performance from him on Friday. His Whip of 0.86 and his strikeout to walk ratio are top notch in 2024 and he should be able to neutralize much of the Diamondback’s power especially from the left hand side of the plate. Ryne Nelson has been hit hard in his last two starts, allowing 18 hits in just over 9 innings. We have collected with Skubal early this season and will ride him tonight with this price.

3 Unit Play. Take #961 Los Angeles (-1.5 RL) +100 over San Francisco (9:45p.m., Tuesday, May 14 MLB.tv) We used a top play on the Dodgers last night and won and we will go right back to the well on Tuesday. The Giants have a ton of injuries to their everyday lineup. They jumped out early last night and still could not hold it. Now the Dodgers have the edge in pitching and will take care of business again.

5 Unit Play. Take #911 Los Angeles (-1.5 RL) over San Francisco (9:45p.m., Monday, May 13 MLB.tv) The Giants are not fielding a strong offensive lineup at the moment with injuries taking its toll! They suffered more injuries over the weekend to Jung Hoo Lee and Michael Conforto. I do not see them having much success scoring runs tonight against Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Jordan Hicks has to face a brutal Los Angeles lineup and look for the Dodgers to win and cover this game via the run line.

6 Unit Play. Take #958 San Francisco over Cincinnati (4:05p.m., Sunday, May 12 MLB.tv) The Reds continue to be a sinking ship and have lost 9 of their last 10 games. They have scored just 5 total runs in the first two games of this series and will struggle to score runs in this game as well. Kyle Marrison has been pitching great of late, allowing just one run in his last 3 starts (18 innings). When he throws strikes and keeps the ball inside the fence, he is a tough pitcher to deal with. This the rubber game of this series and the Giants need it more since they are at home.

3 Unit Play. Take #910 San Francisco over Cincinnati (7:15p.m., Saturday, May 11 FOX) The Reds finally won a game on Friday ending their long losing streak. I expect them to go back to losing on Saturday in game two of this series against the Giants at Oracle Park. The Reds are 1-7 in games decided by one run and just have not been hitting during the last 10 games. The Giants will even up this series behind strong pitching and defense.

3 Unit Play. Take #951 Chicago over Pittsburgh (6:40, Friday, May 10 MLB.tv) The Cubs are a better team than the Pirates and should be able take care of business tonight at PNC Park. Chicago lost a series to the Padres last time out and now need to get back on track to keep pace with the Brewers. Jared Jones is going for Pittsburgh and despite pitching well his team has lost 4 of his last 6 starts. He is not getting much run support and look for that to continue tonight.

10 Unit Play. Take #911 Cleveland over Chicago (6:40p.m., Thursday, May 9 MLB.tv) No bet against the White Sox is a bad bet. They seem to get up playing Tampa Bay but struggle when playing any other team. They had to travel back to the Windy City and Cleveland arrived well before they did after playing a home day game yesterday. The Guardians are the stronger team and have the better all-around offense. These are two solid pitchers, but Cleveland has beaten bad teams all season long and tonight should be no different. Ben Lively has been outstanding this season and two is the most runs he has given up in any start this season. If he does that again on Thursday, we should be in good shape to collect with the money line. Erick Fedde was hit hard last time out, and I see a similar occurrence happening again on Thursday. Chicago is 15 games below Cleveland in the standings and it is only May 9th. The White Sox are tanking this year and getting this money line price is too good to pass up.

3 Unit Play. Take #982 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Boston (7:20p.m., Wednesday, April 8 MLB.tv) Chris Sale will be pumped for this game, getting to face his former team tonight in the ATL. Sale has been strong of late throwing a quality start in 3 straight stars and I look for another one tonight. Nick Pivetta has been strong early this season as well, but it has come in limited action. Sale is be able to offset much of the prop from the Red Sox left handed hitters.

3 Unit Play. Take #928 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Boston (7:20p.m., Tuesday, May 7 MLB.tv) The Braves got swept by the Dodgers over the weekend and look for them to bounce back on Tuesday at home. Both pitchers have been solid this season but the difference will be the strength of the Atlanta lineup. Soon they will break out and start scoring runs and tonight will be a step in that direction. Atlanta is 11-5 at home this season.

3 Unit Play. Take #968 Pittsburgh over Los Angeles (6:40p.m., Monday, May 6 MLB.tv) The Angels are a sinking ship, and no manager is able to turn around this roster. Injuries have taken their toll on them, and they will struggle to win many games the rest of the season. Mitch Keller is not off to a great start this season, but he is a veteran and should be able to right the ship against this lineup.

3 Unit Play. Take #911 Detroit over New York (1:35p.m., Sunday, May 5 MLB.tv) Getting the best pitcher in the American League at an underdog price is too good to pass up on Sunday. Tarik Skubal is 4-0 on the season with a 1.72 E.R.A. He has a WHIP of 0.74 and has just six walks in over 36 innings of work. Nestor Cortes has good numbers as well, but he is not in the same league compared to Skubal.

3 Unit Play. Take #372 St Louis (-1.5 RL) +120 over Chicago (2:15p.m., Saturday, May 4 MLB.tv) No bet against the White Sox is a bad bet this season. Chicago did not score any runs yesterday and I see a similar situation today.

10 Unit Play. Take #902 Chicago over Milwaukee (2:20p.m., Friday, May 3 MLB.tv) TOP MLB PLAY OF THE WEEK Big series for the top two teams in the NL Central as Craig Counsell faces his former team for the first time in the regular season. Both teams have a key player out, but the Cubs are 10-3 at Wrigley Field this season. Joe Ross was hit hard last time out giving up 6 earned runs in just five innings of work. He is also 0-4 in his career against the Cubs. The Cubs will be starting a semi-opener in Hayden Wesneski and I look for him to be successful with around 5 innings of work in this game. The Cubs need this game more since it is at home and trail Milwaukee in the standings. Look for the Cubs to give Counsil a win on Friday afternoon.

3 Unit Play. Take #959 San Francisco +100 over Boston (1:35p.m., Thursday, May 2 MLB.tv) Just do not believe the Red Sox are good enough to sweep the Giants. Kyle Harrison has been solid over his last three starts with the Giants winning the game in each of them. The Red Sox are still under .500 at home this season and the Giants need to right the ship.

3 Unit Play. Take Minnesota (-1.5 RL) over Chicago (2:10p.m., Wednesday, May 1 MLB.tv) The White Sox have been playing a little better over the last week, but they blew the game last night and I see them struggling on Wednesday. Both of Minnesota’s victory have won by 1 run, but they have won 9 straight games and are clearly the better team in this game. Bailey Ober should be able to do just enough to go deep into this game and take advantage of a lot of run support.

6 Unit Play. Take #969 San Francisco over Boston (7:10p.m., Tuesday, April 30 MLBN) We are backing Logan Webb tonight. He has been outstanding in his last four starts, giving up just 3 runs in his last 29 innings of work. Boston has a banged up lineup with not a lot of power and expect them to struggle to score tonight against the Giants ace. Boston will scrape out some hits, but I do not see them having much success and putting up crooked numbers. Cooper Criswell has been good this season but he will not be able to go deep into this game.

3 Unit Play. Take #908 San Diego over Cincinnati (9:40p.m., Monday, April 29 MLB.tv) The Reds are in the middle of a brutal road trip against top teams in the league. They lost 2 of 3 to Texas and now travel to San Diego for the first of three games. The Padres got swept by the Phillies and need to right the ship on Monday. Matt Waldron has pitched well this season with a giving up just 3 combined earned runs in his last 2 starts.

7 Unit Play. Take #962 Detroit over Kansas City (1:40p.m., Sunday, April 28 MLB.tv) Tarik Skubal has been outstanding this season with a 1.82. E.R.A. and a 0.74 WHIP. In two of his last three starts he did not allow a run and has a 7 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio. I am surprised that Micael Wacha is still in the league. He has been better this season, but I do not have any confidence he can sustain any type of success over the course of a six-month season. This is the rubber game of this series and I do not feel the Tigers want to lose a series at home to the Royals. Detroit grinded out a hard-fought victory on Saturday and should have an easier time on Sunday.

4 Unit Play. Take #920 Texas -125 over Cincinnati (4:10p.m., Saturday, April 27 FOX) We used this play last night and look for another cash on Saturday. The pitching stats earlier in the season favor the home team with Michael Lorenzen pitching well in limited action this season. Hunter Green has struggled with a high hit rate to go along with lots of strikeouts. Cincinnati has a team full of low average hitters and they will struggle again to score runs on Saturday.  

7 Unit Play. Take #974 Texas -160 over Cincinnati (8:05p.m., Friday, April 26 MLB.tv) The Reds were shutout yesterday and now travel to Texas to face another strong pitcher in Natan Eovaldi. He has a solid 3.30 E.R.A. on the season and I look forward to a strong showing on Friday after he struggled against the Braves last time out. His counterpart, Graham Ashcraft has been hit hard most of the season. Two of his last three starts he has given up five earned runs in just over five innings of work. The Reds have taken advantage of a soft schedule to open the season and expect them to struggle on this road trip starting tonight.

6 Unit Play. Take #903 Philadelphia (-1.5 RL) over Cincinnati (1:10p.m., Thursday, April 25 ESPN+) All three games in this series have been easily covered by the run line and the Phillies will try and make it 3 of 4 wins in the Queen City. Zack Wheeler has been a tough luck loser thus far in 2024. He has a 1-3 win/loss record but a 0.89 WHIP and a 2.30 E.R.A. Nick Martinez has pitched better of late, but this will be the strongest lineup he has faced this season and also does not give the Reds much depth. Lay the run line with the better team on Thursday.

3 Unit Play. Take #975 Over Chicago @ Minnesota (7:40p.m., Wednesday, April 24 MLB.tv) Not too often you see a total this low in MLB. The White Sox are terrible but they did score 5 runs last night. I see them getting at least 3 runs tonight and that should put us in good shape to collect since Minnesota is a big favorite in this game. Weather should not be that big of a issues to prevent runs from being scored in this game.

3 Unit Play. Take #920 New York (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (7:05p.m., Tuesday, April 23 MLB.tv) The Yankees are upset with how the game went yesterday with the home plate umpire and expect them to come out mad in this game. The Yankees are not hitting well and need to break out in this series against a poor team. I expect them to dominate tonight and cover the run line in the process.

2 Unit Play.  Take Philadelphia (-1.5 RL) -140 over Chicago (1:35p.m., Sunday, April 21 MLB.tv) The White Sox are 3-17 on the season and now have to face one of the Phillies aces on Sunday on the road. The South Sides have been outscored 16-5 in this series so far and this will be the toughest pitcher that they will face in this series.

4 Unit Play. Take #954 Chicago -145 over Miami (2:20p.m., Saturday, April 20 MLB.tv) The Marlins are one of the worst teams in the league and fading them at this price is too good to pass up. Javier Assad has been outstanding thus far in 2024 with a 2.16 E.R.A. to go along with a 0.96 WHIP. Jesus Luzardo has struggled thus far despite a high strikeout rate. He has given up 5 home runs in 20 innings of work and has a 1.55 WHIP. Florida is 4-16 on the season and Chicago is 6-1 at Wrigley Field. Do not mind laying price since the Cubs are just a better team in every facet of the game.

3 Unit Play. Take #921 Los Angeles over Cincinnati (6:40p.m., Friday, April 19 MLB.tv) The Angels are now a competent team under Ron Washington and have their best pitcher thus far on the mound in Tyler Anderson. He is been great this season with a 0.98 WHIP and a 1.47 E.R.A. The Reds just got swept by the Mariners and I expect them to struggle against another AL West team tonight in the Queen’s City.

3 Unit Play. Take #930 Seattle over Cincinnati (4:10p.m., Wednesday, April 17 MLB.tv) The Mariners are going for the sweep of the Reds on Wednesday afternoon and have the right person the mound in Bryce Miller. He has pitched outstanding this season, especially in his last two starts going 13 1/3 innings and allowing just 1 unearned run. Look for more of the same on Tuesday, as the M’s complete the sweep in what likely will be a low scoring pitching duel.

4 Unit Play. Take #972 Boston over Cleveland (7:10p.m., Tuesday, April 16 MLB.tv) The Red Sox have a winning record on the season despite going 2-5 in their first 7 games at Fenway Park. That needs to change and look for them to win tonight as they have the edge in starting pitching. Tanner Bibee has been hit hard in two of his three starts and I see that happening to him as well in this one. Garrett Whitlock has been outstanding this season with a low E.R.A. and WHIP. Look for both trends to hold true on Tuesday, as the Red Sox even up this series at one game apiece.

3 Unit Play. Take Over in New York @ Toronto (7:07p.m., Monday, April 15 MLB.tv) The pitchers in this game will have a tough time containing the offenses of each team. Luis Gil has walked 7 batters in just 9 innings of work. Chris Bassitt has a WHIP of 1.81 and that means the Yankees should put a ton of traffic on the bases. We will not worry about who wins this game and just focus on the over.

4 Unit Play. Take #906 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) -120 over Miami (4:10p.m., Saturday, April 13 MLB.tv) Chris Sale in on the mound as the Braves look to take the first two of this series. Miami is one of the worst teams in the league in 2024 and now they have to face one of the best teams that will challenge for a World Series spot come October.

10 Unit Play. Take #977 Over in Chicago Cubs @ Seattle Mariners (9:40p.m., Friday, April 12 Apple TV) The Mariners got back on track on Wednesday exploding in extra innings and I look for that to carry over into this game on Friday. They get to face former first round pick Jordan Wicks, a lefty that should be hit hard tonight since most of the Mariners pop comes from the ride hand side of the plate. Wicks has a high WHIP and Miller gives up the long ball. That should set up a strong play with the over tonight. We will not worry about who wins this pick’em game and instead just focus on the total. Chicago has already accumulated over 100 hits as a team this season. I see too much traffic on the bases for this game to not go over the posted number.

3 Unit Play. Take #913 Over in Baltimore @ Boston (7:10p.m., Thursday, April 11 MLBN) The Birds have scored 7 runs in each of the first two games and expect a big number from them on Thursday. Both pitchers have started off well this season, but these lineups are too strong for them to keep it up in this game. Play the over and we will not worry about who wins this pick’em game.

2 Unit Play. Take #977 Over in Miami @ New York (7:05p.m., Wednesday, April 10 Prime) Both games so far have stayed under the posted total and thus I expect the series finale to go over the posted total. The Yankees missed a ton of chances last night to score run and look for them to cash in tonight. Marcus Stroman pitched well in his last game but gave up 3 runs in his first start this season. If he does that again on Thursday, we should be able to cash with the over. The Yankees will be facing a left-handed pitcher for the second straight day and look for them to hit Ryan Weathers hard in his game. Neither team played very good defense last night and that should help us with the over as well.

6 Unit Play. Take #928 New York (-1.5 RL) +110 over Miami (7:05p.m., Tuesday, April 9 MLB.tv) No bet against the Marlins is a bad bet early in the 2024 season. They have numerous pitching injuries and have struggled to be competitive in most of their games this season. A.J. Puk has given the Marlins no depth this season pitching just 6 innings in two starts and giving up 8 runs in those outings (6 earned runs). He has more walks than strikeouts and this is the best hitting lineup he has faced in 2024. Look for the Yankees to jump out early and cruise to a victory and we will take advantage of an underdog price.

2 Unit Play. Take #971 Over 8 in Miami @ New York (6:05p.m., Monday, April 8 MLBN) The Marlins are a terrible pitching and defensive team. The Yankees have a loaded lineup and expect both teams to score some runs in this game. Miami’s only chance to win would be a slugfest and that sets up nicely for a strong play on the over.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

2 Unit Play. Take #957 New York +105 over Cincinnati (4:10p.m., Saturday, April 6 MLB.tv) We used the Mets with a similar line last night and collected and we will try and hit another underdog winner on Saturday. The Reds pitching should allow the Mets to break out of their offensive funk and follow-up their winning performance last night.

4 Unit Play. Take #956 Minnesota over Cleveland (4:10p.m., Thursday, April 4 MLB Extra Innings) Cleveland is off to a great start this season but that is what should happen when you play Oakland early in the season. Minnesota is coming off a split with the Brewers and now has their home opener and the right person on the mound. Pablo Lopez was outstanding in his first start of the season and look from another strong showing on Thursday.

4 Unit Play. Take #955 Over in St Louis @ San Diego (9:40p.m., Tuesday, April 2 MLB Extra Innings) The Padres have exploded on offense multiple times this season especially when they are coming off a loss in their previous game. I look for that to happen again on Tuesday, as neither one of the these starting pitchers impress me that much.

4 Unit Play. Take #903 Pittsburgh over Washington (4:05p.m., Monday, April 1 MLB Extra Innings) The Nationals have their home opener on Monday, but I see the Pirates winning their fifth straight game. Pittsburgh got off to a hot start last season and are doing the same thing in 2024. The Pirates are really hitting the baseball this season scoring at least 6 runs in all of their games. That should be good enough to win today in the District.

3 Unit Play. Take #969 Minnesota -115 over Kansas City (2:10p.m., Sunday, March 31 MLB Extra Innings) The Twins should challenge again for the top spot in the AL Central and are looking to start off the season with a sweep of the Royals on the road. The Twins have only given up 2 runs thus far and if they do that again it should be another easy victory.  

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

3 Unit Play. Take #919 Cleveland -130 over Oakland (4:07p.m., Saturday, March 30 MLB Extra Innings) I guess you need to fade Oakland until they show they can actually win a game. They have no fanbase, payroll, or adequate stadium. Look for Cleveland to win the first three games of the season.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

6 Unit Play. Take #909 San Francisco +100 over San Diego (4:10p.m., Thursday, March 28 MLB Extra Innings) Just feel the Padres offense is not as good as it should be outside of two players. The Giants have their man on the mound today for opening day and I would expect a good performance from Logan Webb on Thursday. The Giants made some late free agent signing to bolster their offense and I expect them to start the season on the right note. Their manager was the Padres manager the last two years and he looked miserable in the Padres dugout all last season. Yu Darvish did not last long last week in Korea and I am not expecting a strong showing on Thursday.

5 Unit Play. Take #931 Over in Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres (6:05a.m., Wednesday, March 20 MLBN) Pitching will be a challenge in this game against these lineups and I feel one team will have a scoring output in this game. Each lineup has a ton of power, and it would not surprise mean if one of these teams come close to going over this posted number by themselves. Yu Darvish did not have a very good year in 2023 with a 4.56 E.R.A. and gave up almost a hit per inning. Tyler Glasnow is now a Dodger and he played in a very pitcher friendly park and will not have the luxury in this game against this Padre lineup. This is a hitter friendly park with very little foul territory and the weather will not be a factor. We expect double digits in scoring, and we will not worry if the Dodgers can cover this big of a number and instead just collect with the over.

7 Unit Play. Take #956 Under in Texas Rangers @ Arizona Diamondbacks (8:03p.m., Wednesday, November 1 FOX) The under has only hit once so far in the 2023 World Series and I look for it to cash a second time on Wednesday. Often times elimination games are played close to the best and I expect this to be a low scoring game that goes down to the wire. Both teams have their ace on the mound and at least one of them should go deep into this game and give up very few very runs. The bullpen for Arizona is strong and Texas missing Garcia will catch up to them in this game. Play the under and we will not worry about if there is a Game 6 and cash our ticket.

10 Unit Play. Take #941 Over in Arizona Diamondbacks @ Texas Rangers (8:03p.m., Friday, October 27 FOX) MLB Playoff Game of the Year. Both offenses have shown they can score runs this entire postseason. Still not sold on the Texas bullpen and Zac Gallen has struggled in the postseason. He has a 1.48 WHIP and a 5.24 E.R.A. Texas will be the strongest lineup that he has faced this entire postseason. They are loaded from top to bottom. The trends point towards the over when these two teams play, cashing that ticket 4 of the last 5 games when they have met. One of these starting pitchers is going to get hit hard tonight and it will not surprise me if the total goes over by one team alone.

5 Unit Play. Take #934 Houston over Texas (8:03p.m., Monday, October 23 FOX) This is a winner take all game and I just do not feel the Astros will lose 4 straight home games to the Rangers. It does seem reminiscent of the 2019 World Series between Houston and Washington, but Max Scherzer is not himself and I expect him to get pounded. Cristian Javier receives a ton of run support and now he is starting to dominate on the mound which makes this a deadly combination in favor of the home team. Houston has the better bullpen and will take care of business and advance to the World Series, as we collect big in the process as well.

4 Unit Play. Take #926 Houston over Texas (8:03p.m., Sunday, October 22 FS1) The Astros came back from the dead in Game 5 and now just need to win one of the remaining two games to clinch the pennant. Framber Valdez has not been good this postseason but look for that to change on Sunday Night. All the momentum is with Houston and that will allow them to emerge victorious and march onto the World Series.

4 Unit Play. Take #911 Houston over Texas (5:07p.m., Friday, October 20 FS1) The Astros will go for the sweep of the Rangers in Arlington and take a commanding 3-2 lead in this best of 7 ALCS. Both teams are throwing their game one starter on the mound I just do not trust Jordan Montgomery. He has pitched outstanding, but look for this Astros lineup to take better swings in Game 5 than they had in Game 1. Texas is starting to feel the pressure and Houston comes back home with a victory on Friday.

5 Unit Play. Take #907 Houston +105 over Texas (8:03p.m., Thursday, October 19 FS1) The Astros need to win this game to even the series at 2-2 and expect them to jump out early again and cruise to a victory. Houston is a much better team on the road this season and I do not think either starting pitcher will go deep into this game. Houston has dominated Texas in Arlington and I look for that to continue on Thursday. Getting an underdog price is too good to pass up.

7 Unit Play. Take #841 Over in Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros (8:03p.m., Wednesday, October 18 FS1) The Astros are fighting for their playoff lives tonight in Arlington and we expect a high scoring game. Cristian Javier had a 4.56 E.R.A. on the season but received a ton of run support evident by his 10-5 record. He has pitched better down the stretch, but he has not faced a lineup as strong as Texas offers. Max Scherzer has not pitched in over a month and got lit up in his second to last start by Houston. He allowed three home runs in just 3 inning of work against Houston giving up 7 earned runs in the process. One of these teams will have an offensive breakout and the over should easily hit.

3 Unit Play. Take #971 Arizona over Philadelphia (8:07p.m., Tuesday, October 17 TBS) Arizona cannot afford to go down 2-0 to Philadelphia burning both of their aces in the first two games. The Diamondbacks had their chances in game 1 and expect them to cash them in on Tuesday. Both pitchers have been solid in the postseason, but I expect the Diamondbacks to hit Aaron Nola since they are a good fastball hitting team.

3 Unit Play. Take #966 Houston over Texas (4:37p.m., Monday, October 16 FOX) The Astros do not want to drop two straight home games to the Rangers and thus look for them to dig deep and win this game to even up the series at 1-1. Both teams got a strong pitching performance on Sunday and look for Framber Valdez to bounce back in a big way on Monday. He was lights out last year and I never underestimate the heart of a champion.

6 Unit Play. Take #963 Over in Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros (8:15p.m., Sunday, October 15 FOX) Both teams have a layoff, but I still believe one of these offenses is going to explode on Sunday night at Minute Maid Park. The starting pitchers have been in trouble numerous times in the postseason and I do not feel they will be able to pitch out of it. I think one of these teams might come close to going over the posted total by themselves. We will not worry about who wins this game and instead just collect with the over.

5 Unit Play. Take #943 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Philadelphia (8:07p.m., Thursday, October 12 TBS) Just feel like the Braves have one last winning streak in them. They have the rotation set up for Game 4 and Game 5 and have a decisive pitching advantage in this game. Just do not feel Ranger Suarez can go deep into this game like his counterpart can. Sooner or later the Braves offense will make some noise and they are overdue to win one of these games comfortably.

3 Unit Play. Take #926 Texas (-1.5 RL) over Baltimore (8:03p.m., Tuesday, October 10 FOX) It ends tonight! The Rangers will take care of business at home and advance to the ALCS next week at either Houston or Minnesota. Baltimore has been getting behind early and that is trouble for this young team. Texas is starting to figure out their bullpen and expect them to take care of business on Tuesday behind Nathan Eovaldi.

2 Unit Play. Take #919 Arizona +140 over Los Angeles (9:07p.m., Monday, October 9 TBS)

Both of these plays provide value and we expect at least one of them to hit. Arizona and Philadelphia were not as strong as their counterparts during the regular season, but both of them are throwing their ace on Monday. These are power pitchers and that is the key to success in the postseason. The pressure is entirely on the Bravers and Dodgers, as they cannot afford to fall down 0-2 in these best of 5 series. I think at least one of them will lose tonight.

2 Unit Play. Take #917 Philadelphia +140 over Atlanta (6:07p.m., Monday, October 9 TBS)

Both of these plays provide value and we expect at least one of them to hit. Arizona and Philadelphia were not as strong as their counterparts during the regular season, but both of them are throwing their ace on Monday. These are power pitchers and that is the key to success in the postseason. The pressure is entirely on the Bravers and Dodgers, as they cannot afford to fall down 0-2 in these best of 5 series. I think at least one of them will lose tonight.

5 Unit Play. Take #912 Houston over Minnesota (8:03p.m., Sunday, October 8 FS1) Houston was the only home team to win game 1 of the divisional series and expect them to take a commanding 2-0 lead in this series. Minnesota is not a strong playoff performing team and had their chances in game 1 but could not do any damage except for one inning. Framber Valdez gets a ton of run support and being a left-handed pitcher should help him neutralize some of the power that Minnesota has. Dusty Baker will manage better tonight, as Houston takes another game in this series.

6 Unit Play. Take #906 Houston (-1.5 RL) +140 over Minnesota (4:45p.m., Saturday, October 7 FS1) Taking Houston in the postseason is never a bad bet. Minnesota got the monkey off their back winning a game and a series, but I do not see them advancing to the Championship Series next week. Justin Verlander has been a big game pitcher since coming back to Houston, especially down the stretch. He has not been as strong in the postseason, but this should be a get right game for him in that respect. The Astros lineup will flex today and we will collect a nice underdog in the process.

3 Unit Play. Take #957 Arizona over Milwaukee (7:08p.m., Wednesday, October 4 ESPN2) Arizona won last night against Milwaukee’s ace and now the visitor gets to throw their own ace on Wednesday. Milwaukee does not hit many home runs as a team and that is one of the key’s to success in the postseason. The Brewers burned their closer last night in a loss and their bullpen is overworked and I do not believe Freddy Peralta can go deep into this game. Zac Gallen has been solid this season and look for another strong showing on Wednesday.

3 Unit Play. Take #949 Over in Arizona @ Milwaukee (7:08p.m., Tuesday, October 3 ESPN2) Expect some runs to be scored in this game, as both team have strong offensives. The Diamondbacks hit Cordin Burns hard earlier this season and he has not been going deep into games of late. Arizona will not be able to use one of their two aces in this game, as they left with Bradon Pfaadt and his 5.72 E.R.A. We will not worry if Milwaukee can cover this big number and instead just focus on the total.

3 Unit Play. Take #977 Houston over Arizona (8:10p.m., Saturday, September 30 MLB.tv) Arizona would need a bunch of things to happen to not reach the postseason. They are basically in, but the same cannot be said for Houston. Justin Verlander is on the mound and look for him to follow-up his impressive performance on Monday and get the Astros a much needed victory.

6 Unit Play. Take #907 Chicago over Milwaukee (8:10p.m., Friday, September 29 MLB.tv) The Cubs are in a must win situation playing their rivals on Friday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee, WI. The Brewers are locked into the No. 3 seed and thus will just be setting their rotation for the playoffs next weekend. They would like to knock out the Cubs, but I just do not see them going all out to win games this weekend. Colin Rea has pitched better of late, but he does not have that great of numbers on the season. Kyle Henricks will not beat himself and look for him to leave with the lead before turning it over to the bullpen late in this game.

6 Unit Play. Take #923 Houston over Seattle (9:40p.m., Wednesday, September 27 MLBN) This is the most important game of the season for both Houston and Seattle. The loser will be in trouble and might miss out on the 2023 playoffs starting next week. I just cannot envision the defending champions with this lineup missing the postseason altogether. Houston has the edge in pitching tonight with Framber Valdez on the mound compared to Byrce Miller. He was hit hard last time out against Texas giving up 6 earned runs in just over 4 innings of work. The Astros are better on both sides of the diamond tonight and will get this must win game by a couple of runs. They could not get the big hit last night but that will change on Wednesday.  

3 Unit Play. Take #975 Houston over Seattle (10:05p.m., Tuesday, September 26 TBS) We have seen an inordinate number of sweeps from the AL West and it would not surprise me in Houston wins the first two games of this series. Cristian Javier receives a ton of run support and the Mariners are starting to play tight, losing 4 straight games.

5 Unit Play. Take #905 Houston over Seattle (9:40p.m., Monday, September 25 MLB.tv) Both teams come in limping and it is likely that one of them will miss the playoffs come next week. Texas has all but won the division and this is a must have series win for both teams. No way Justin Verlander should be an underdog with the line-up behind him. Luis Castillo is good but he has given up some runs in each of his last two starts to bad teams in Oakland and Los Angeles (AL). Houston has performed bad against Seattle this season but look for that to change on Monday. They have a champion pedigree and this is a game they need in the worst way.

2 Unit Play. Take #926 Texas over Seattle (7:05p.m., Saturday, September 23 MLB.tv) The Rangers struggled to put away the Mariners on Friday despite an 8-0 lead, but they won that game. Look for them to win the first two games behind Jordan Montgomery Saturday night. Left handers can neutral much of the Mariners power and look for that to be the case on Saturday. The AL West is down to three teams and look for treaky Seattle to drop the first two in this series.

3 Unit Play. Take #972 Take Texas over Seattle (8:05p.m., Friday, September 22 MLB.tv) This is a battle for the AL West, as two of the three teams involved in the pennant chase are playing tonight at Glode Life Field. Texas has dominated Seattle this season, winning 5 of the 6 meetings and outscoring them 36-18 in those games. Dane Dunning is coming off a solid outing las time out against Cleveland throwing 5 shutout innings. Texas needs to win this series at home expect them to take game one in dominating fashion.  

5 Unit Play. Take #914 New York over Toronto (7:05p.m., Thursday, September 21 MLB.tv) The Yankees do not have much to play for, but Gerritt Cole has a great chance to win the Cy Young award. Look for the Yankees to use their best line-up this evening to give him a great chance to score some runs on offense. That is something the Yankees have struggled with much of the season but should be able to get good swings against Jose Berrios. He has pitched better of late against bottom feeder teams, but I do not see him shutting down the Yankees on Thursday. New York has a knack for salvaging games to avoid being swept and expect that to happen tonight at the stadium.

10 Unit Play. Take #969 Over in Seattle @ Oakland (3:37p.m., Wednesday, September 20 MLB.tv) Just feel that one of these pitchers is going to get lit up today at the Coliseum. Geroge Kirby has not been the same pitcher of late, giving up 4 runs in each of his last 3 starts. His last 5 starts have all gone over today’s posted number. His counterpart is Joey Estes, a pitcher making his MLB debut. His number in the hitter friendly Triple A were not good and I expect the Mariners to hit him hard second time through the lineup. Oakland swing the bats decent last night against tough competition and I feel they will be able to score 4-5 runs in this game and that should put us in good shape to hit the over.  

4 Unit Play. Take #923 Seattle (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (9:40p.m., Tuesday, September 19 MLB.tv) The Mariners got a break last night with Texas and Houston blowing late leads. Now they have one of their aces on the mound and expect them to win and cover the run line against a bad Oakland team. Seattle has fattened up their record against Oakland this season and tonight should be no different.
