08-24-19 | Florida v. Miami-FL +7.5 | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The first renewal of this classic in-state rivalry since 2013 takes place in Orlando where it appears that the Gators hold a huge edge in both head coach and quarterback experience. Florida will have its hands full matching last year’s production, though, especially with all six games away from the Swamp coming against bowl teams. Meanwhile, former defensive coordinator and new Miami head coach Manny Diaz will likely be searching for a go-to signal caller throughout most of the season. Look for UM’s 4th ranked defense last year to be the catalyst early on in 2019 for the Hurricanes, starting here, as Miami improves to 7-1 ATS in this series |

White Sox rookie Dylan Cease (2-4, 6.00 ERA) is coming off five innings of two-run ball at Detroit, but note that he has allowed 12 runs over 17 innings in his first three starts home at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Astros counter with Zack Greinke (11-4, 3.08 ERA) who was charged with five runs in six innings against Colorado on Tuesday in his Houston debut.

08-10-19 | Phillies v. Giants UNDER 8.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The under is 7-2 in the last nine matchups between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Francisco Giants. I think Saturday's matchup will follow that trend. Giants' righty Jeff Samardzija (8-9, 3.70 ERA) entered the month off a spectacular month of July during which he posted a 2.09 ERA over six starts. Samardzija did not disappoint in his first start of August either as he held the Nationals to one run on three hits over four innings on Monday. This looks like a good time for him to improve on a gaudy 7.33 career ERA against Philly. As for Philadelphia starter Vince Velasquez (4-6, 4.23 ERA), he owns a 3.22 ERA in four career starts versus the Giants and he has posted a 2.04 ERA over his last three starts overall. Under is 6-1-1 in Giants last eight overall. Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings in San Francisco. |

The 31-year-old walked just one in his last start Saturday against Cincinnati, surrendering three runs on four hits with four strikeouts over seven innings but got a no-decision after Atlanta’s bullpen blew a save. Keuchel beat the Marlins in his only appearance against them this season, allowing two runs on five hits with four strikeouts across 7 1/3 innings of a 4-3 victory on July 7 in Atlanta. Hernandez has shifted between the rotation and bullpen since being recalled from the minors in late May, and makes his third consecutive start after allowing six runs on seven hits over seven innings in his previous two starting assignments.

Rating: 2 Units Through 14 starts, Zimmermann is 1-8 with a 7.23 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 66 innings. No doubt, injuries have played a part in J-Zimm's struggles this season, but with the Tigers not going anywhere -- and with him making a cool $25 Million -- Detroit will keep putting Zimmermann out there every five days as long as he is healthy. The Rangers will counter with 24-year-old rookie RHP Pedro Payano. Payano was signed as an amateur free agent way back in 2011 and then as a pro free agent earlier this year. Payano has now been given a chance at the starting rotation and so far he seems to be making the most of it, with a 1-0 record and 3.18 ERA in his first three MLB games, which includes his only start on July 28 in Oakland. This will be Payano's home debut and it comes against a team -- and starter -- that is really struggling. The Tigers are 8-20 in Zimmermann's last 28 starts. |

Musgrove has alternated wins and losses in his four starts since the All-Star break, picking up the victory Tuesday by allowing a pair of solo homers among five hits over six innings to beat Cincinnati. He was knocked around for six runs (five earned) and seven hits, including three homers, over five innings in a loss to St. Louis in his previous turn.

07-31-19 | Braves v. Nationals +118 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Soroka hasn’t been as sharp as he was while compiling a 1.38 ERA through his first 10 starts, pitching to a 4.10 ERA while allowing 56 hits in 41 2/3 innings across his past eight starts. The 21-year-old (who turns 22 on Sunday) gave up one run on eight hits with five strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings Friday at Philadelphia but could not get out of the fifth inning after throwing 37 pitches in the frame. Soroka, who entered Tuesday third in the NL in ERA and 10th in WHIP (1.13), is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 10 hits allowed in eight innings across two starts against the Nationals this season. Sanchez is not as heralded as the rest of the Washington rotation but the veteran has helped fuel the Nationals summertime success, pitching to a 2.58 ERA with a .210 opponents batting average in his past 10 starts. The 35-year-old is 6-0 in that span while allowing one earned run or fewer six times, giving up one run on three hits with one walk and six strikeouts over seven innings Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sanchez has faced the Braves three times in his 10-start spurt, going 2-0 with a 3.71 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 13 hits allowed and 17 strikeouts in 17 innings. |

07-30-19 | Dodgers -145 v. Rockies | 9-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Freeland is 0-2 in three starts since returning from the minor leagues, but the club was encouraged by his effort in a loss to Washington on Wednesday. The 26-year-old native of Denver gave up one unearned run and four hits over six innings in the setback after allowing 10 runs and 15 hits over eight frames in his previous two outings. Freeland hasn't faced the Dodgers this season but is 2-3 with a 3.40 ERA in eight career turns despite being pounded by Justin Turner (12-for-23). |

07-30-19 | Cubs -119 v. Cardinals | 1-2 | Loss | -119 | 6 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Darvish has finished at least six innings in a season-high four straight starts, posting a 2.92 ERA in that stretch. He has 64 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings on the road while holding opponents to a .209 average. The 32-year-old yielded one run and three hits in six innings in his only prior start at Busch Stadium earlier in the year. Wainwright followed up his eight scoreless innings against the Cubs last month with a rocky showing in Chicago a week later, allowing three runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 frames. |

07-30-19 | Giants +120 v. Phillies | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Tyler Beede (3-4, 4.85 ERA) will take the mound tonight for the Giants, while Phillies will counter with Drew Smyly (1-5, 7.69 ERA). The Giants have won EIGHT of Beede's 11 starts. All three of Beede's wins have come away from AT&T Park. Smyly earned himself a second start after a dazzling debut with Philadelphia on July 21, when he allowed just one run while striking out eight in six innings of a no-decision against Pittsburgh (Phillies won, 2-1). Smyly has yet to face San Francisco in his career. You can take Smyly's Philadelphia debut too seriously as it came against the Pirates, who have lost NINE in a row, plus 15 of 17 since the All Star break. Smyly made 13 appearances (nine starts) while with Texas in 2019, going 1-5 with an 8.42 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and .299 BAA. |

Rating: 2 Units Corbin has been outstanding since the middle of June, going 3-0 with a 1.60 ERA and a .217 batting average against in his past seven starts as the Nationals are 6-1 in those outings. The 30-year-old shut out Colorado on three hits with seven strikeouts in six innings Wednesday, the sixth time in his past seven outings he has allowed two earned runs or fewer. Corbin, who gave up two runs on eight hits with five strikeouts against the Braves on July 19, is 5-1 with a 1.68 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 10 home starts this season. |

07-28-19 | Twins -176 v. White Sox | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Gibson surrendered five runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings against the New York Yankees on Tuesday but was in line for the win before Minnesota's bullpen squandered the 9-5 lead with which he left. The 31-year-old native of Indiana has not lost since June 19 versus Boston, going 2-0 while allowing three runs or fewer five times over six starts and one relief appearance. Gibson improved to 8-4 with a 2.82 ERA in 15 career starts against Chicago on May 25, when he gave up one run and five hits in seven frames. Covey's last two starts - both losses - have been abysmal as he surrendered six runs while retiring only two batters at Oakland on July 13 before yielding five in six innings against Miami on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Californian, who made two relief appearances between the starts, registered a season-high seven strikeouts without issuing a walk versus the Marlins. Covey fell to 0-3 with a 5.47 ERA in three starts and two relief outings against the Twins on May 26, when he was reached for four runs over six frames at Minnesota. |

Rating: 2 Units Archer remained winless over a span of eight starts when he gave up four runs in six innings against St. Louis on Tuesday. He has eight strikeouts or more in five of those eight outings and 112 in 96 2/3 innings on the season. Archer is 2-6 with 6.91 ERA and 1.44 WHIP away team-starts this season. Vargas allowed only one hit while striking out eight in his win over San Diego on Tuesday. Vargas has a 1.83 ERA with 1.09 WHIP at home while holding opponents to a .201 average. |

07-28-19 | Braves v. Phillies -135 | 4-9 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nola has been outstanding in July, allowing one earned run or fewer in four of his first five starts and pitching to a 1.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 32 2/3 innings. The 26-year-old allowed two runs (one earned) with one walk and seven strikeouts in seven innings Tuesday at Detroit, five days after his one rough outing this month – four runs on five hits in five innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Some of Nola’s best work this season has come against the Braves, going 2-0 with a 2.95 ERA in three starts against Atlanta with 20 strikeouts in 18 1/3 innings. |

07-27-19 | Diamondbacks -123 v. Marlins | 9-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arizona is a better team on the road, which is odd. Not only is their record better on the road than at home, they also score more runs away from Chase Field. That may not have been apparent last night, but they are averaging 5.7 runs/game on the road this year, up from 4.5 at home. They also will have Alex Young on the mound. Young is unbeaten in his four starts (3-0) while posting a 2.66 ERA and 0.74 WHIP. He shouldn't have much trouble keeping the Marlins in check. After all, Miami has scored the fewest runs in the National League. We get that Jordan Yamamoto has looked great at times for Miami, but Saturday's starter has lasted no longer than five innings in four of his past five starts and two of the last three have seen the team score zero runs for him. |

07-27-19 | Tigers v. Mariners -149 | 1-8 | Win | 100 | 6 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Seattle starter Gonzalez is 6-1 in his last 7 overall team-starts in July, and has 15 Ks with 2 BBs in his last three starts. The Tigers are only 4-14 in the last 18 games in this series, including 1-11 the last 12 away. |

07-27-19 | Yankees v. Red Sox -134 | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units CC Sabathia (5-5, 4.50 ERA) will take the mound for New York on Saturday afternoon, opposed by Boston's Eduardo Rodriguez (12-4, 4.10 ERA). This is CC's last season and he's been AWFUL on the road. He may be 4-1 with a 2.60 ERA and 1.11 ERA in eight home starts (Yanks are 7-1) but in eight road starts, he's 1-4 with a 6.59 ERA and 1.59 WHIP (Yanks are 2-6). He's had plenty of experience against the Red Sox but is a modest 18-17 (4.43 ERA) in 46 career starts (team is 21-25). Rodriguez won his sixth consecutive decision with a superb effort at Tampa Bay last time out, limiting the Rays to two hits over seven scoreless innings to improve to 4-0 with a 1.42 ERA in July (Boston is 5-1). Rodriguez is unbeaten in his last eight starts (Boston is 7-1) and enters this contest with MLB's second-best moneyline mark (16-5 in team starts, plus-$1.043). |

07-26-19 | Yankees -124 v. Red Sox | 5-10 | Loss | -124 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Paxton had a string of three straight quality starts snapped when he allowed seven runs (four earned), five hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings of an 8-4 loss to Colorado on Sunday. The 30-year-old British Columbia native has a 1.47 WHIP this season, which would mark the highest of his career. Mookie Betts is 3-for-15 versus Paxton, who is 3-0 with a 1.89 ERA in five starts against Boston after striking out 10 and allowing two hits in eight innings of an 8-0 victory April 16. Cashner has lost his first two starts with the Red Sox, including a 5-0 loss at Baltimore - his former team - on Sunday when he allowed four runs and six hits with seven strikeouts in six innings. The 32-year-old Texan didn't yield a home run in his final five outings - all quality ones - with the Orioles but has yielded four with Boston. The Yankees' Gleyber Torres is 6-for-13 with two home runs and Luke Voit is 5-for-7 with a homer against Cashner, who is 2-5 with a 3.96 ERA in 10 starts against New York - 0-2, 6.19 in three turns this season. |

07-26-19 | Diamondbacks -182 v. Marlins | 2-3 | Loss | -182 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Zack Greinke (10-4, 2.93 ERA) will take the mound tonight for Arizona, opposed by Miami's Sandy Alcantara (4-9, 4.25 ERA). Greinke has pitched better than his record, as he owns an 0.95 WHIP and .225 BAA to go along with his sub-3.00 ERA. Since allowing seven ERs in his 2019 debut, he's held opponents to three ERs of less in 16 of 20 starts. Alcantara may be one of only two rookies with a complete game this season but he was fortunate to avoid his fourth loss in as many starts last Saturday in Los Angeles, after giving up six runs in five innings against the Dodgers (Miami would lose, 10-6). The 23-year-old owns a 7.15 ERA during a four-start winless streak in which he is 0-3 and the team, 0-4. |

07-26-19 | Dodgers -160 v. Nationals | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dodgers will hand the ball to Hyun-Jin Ryu (11-2, 1.76 ERA) who has handcuffed the Nats throughout his career, boasting a 2-1 mark with a 1.35 ERA in four starts versus Washington. The Nats meanwhile turn to Anibal Sanchez (6-6, 3.80 ERA) who fell to 1-3 with a 3.89 ERA in eight career meetings with the Dodgers after surrendering three runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings when he faced them on May 10. Washington has played exceptionally well home at Nationals Stadium lately winning 13 of its last 17 in front of the home town crowd, but note that the Dodgers are 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in Washington. |

07-24-19 | Padres v. Mets -150 | 7-2 | Loss | -150 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Lamet, who missed the entire 2018 campaign and the first three months this year after undergoing Tommy John surgery, made his season debut on July 4 at the Dodgers and took the loss with five innings of three-run ball. He also went five innings in his next turn at Atlanta, allowing four runs on five hits before taking a no-decision at Miami on Thursday when he permitted three runs over four innings. Syndergaard extended his unbeaten streak to nine starts with a strong performance in a no-decision at San Francisco on Thursday, striking out eight and limiting the Giants to one run and six hits over seven innings. He also went seven innings in his first start after the All-Star break, giving up two runs on five hits while striking out nine. |

07-24-19 | Reds +153 v. Brewers | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With Tyler Mahle going on the injured list Monday due to a strained left hamstring, the Reds will turn to Sims, who made a pair of scoreless relief appearances in last weekend's series against St. Louis. A former first-round pick of Atlanta in 2012, the 25-year-old made a spot start in late May versus Pittsburgh and carried a shutout into the eighth inning before surrendering a grand slam in an 11-6 victory. Sims has 12 strikeouts versus two walks in 9 2/3 innings this year. Expected to anchor the staff after winning a career-best 15 games last year, Chacin remains in search of his first victory since April 30, posting an 0-7 record and 5.96 ERA during an 11-start drought. He surrendered a homer for the sixth straight start last time out at Arizona, taking the loss after he was shelled for seven runs over 2 1/3 innings. |

07-24-19 | Phillies -153 v. Tigers | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The month of July has been an utter disaster for Zimmermann, who has dropped two of three starts after yielding a robust 20 runs on 28 hits in 11 innings. A return to Comerica Park likely won't provide much solace for the 33-year-old, who owns an 0-5 mark with a gaudy 8.16 ERA while allowing the opposition to bat .350 against him. Jean Segura (9-for-19) has flustered Zimmermann |

07-23-19 | A's v. Astros -153 | 4-3 | Loss | -153 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fiers carries a 7-0 record in his last 13 outings into Tuesday's matchup with Houston, against which he owns a 1-2 record and 6.15 ERA in five career starts. The 34-year-old failed to record a decision in his previous two turns against the Astros this season after surrendering eight runs and 11 hits in 8 1/3 innings. Michael Brantley (8-for-25), Jose Altuve (3-for-7) and Alex Bregman (3-for-8) have fared well versus Fiers, although the hurler has flustered Josh Reddick (3-for-21). Miley improved to 3-1 with a 2.97 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in his last seven starts after permitting one earned run and three hits in 5 1/3 innings of Thursday's 6-2 victory at the Los Angeles Angels. The 32-year-old owns a 5-2 record in seven career starts against Oakland after splitting a pair of decisions in April, with Matt Chapman's solo homer in the sixth leading to a 2-1 loss on April 17. Khris Davis (2-for-17), Nick Hundley (3-for-18, six strikeouts) and Canha (2-for-12) have struggled versus Miley, who sports a 4-1 record and 1.86 ERA at home while allowing the opposition to bat .199 against him. |

07-23-19 | Phillies -139 v. Tigers | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nola had a string of five straight quality starts come to an end against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday, when he was reached for four runs and five hits - three homers - in five innings without factoring in the decision. The LSU product is struggling with his control of late and issued a total of 13 walks over 25 2/3 innings over the last four turns. Nola faced Detroit at home on May 1, yielding one run on seven hits and three walks across 5 2/3 innings. Boyd could be making his last start with the Tigers and should have plenty of opposing scouts in attendance as one of the most coveted trade candidates on the market. The 28-year-old is posting big strikeout numbers but watched his ERA rise from 2.85 to 4.13 over his last eight starts and was reached for five runs along with six hits - two homers - over six innings in a loss at Cleveland on Thursday. Boyd is seeing Philadelphia for the first time and is 2-4 with a 4.53 ERA in 12 career interleague games. |

The 28-year-old UCLA product has lost just once in his last eight starts and boasts 170 strikeouts - 21 in the last two outings - over 144 2/3 innings this season. Sanchez has suffered through 15 outings without a victory, going 0-13 with a 7.98 ERA, after beginning the season with a 3-1 record and 2.32 ERA in six starts. The 27-year-old California native has not completed six innings in any of his last seven starts after yielding four runs over five frames in a loss at Boston on Wednesday. |

The 28-year-old limited Detroit to one run on six hits with 12 strikeouts across six frames Wednesday to earn the win and has yielded one run of fewer in five of his seven starts this year. Justin Smoak is 2-for-4 with a homer versus Clevinger, who gave up one hit over five scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts on April 7 to beat Toronto. |

Rating: 2 Units Mengden picked up the victory versus Minnesota despite yielding five runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. Pineda has turned things around after ending April in rough fashion, permitting three earned runs or fewer in 11 of his 12 starts. The 30-year-old Dominican has given up one earned run in five of his last six outings, including a loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday in which he also yielded two unearned runs over six innings.

The 30-year-old Arkansas product made nine starts with Texas earlier this season, going 1-4 with a 7.90 ERA and serving up 12 homers, before being released. Melky Cabrera is 2-for-6 with a double versus Smyly, who is 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in two career appearances against Pittsburgh. Agrazal is expected to get the start after Joe Musgrove was moved up to Saturday to take the place of Trevor Williams, who was struggling with flu-like symptoms. The 24-year-old from Panama will make his fifth major-league start after allowing two or fewer earned runs in each of his first four while completing six innings in the past three. Agrazal permitted two runs and five hits over six innings in his only previous home start against Milwaukee on July 6 to earn the win. |
