Wainwright is 1-0 with a 2.40 ERA in two career starts against Mariners, but this outing will mark his first in Seattle. Leake won four straight decisions before falling to Milwaukee in his last turn. The 31-year-old gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings and has allowed 12 (11 earned) and 19 over his last two outings. Leake, who was acquired from the Cardinals in August 2017, is 5-7 with a 4.42 ERA in 17 career appearances (16 starts) against his former team. |

Rating: 2 Units Fiers extended his unbeaten streak to 10 starts on Friday, when he recorded his sixth win in that span after allowing one run and six hits over 6 2/3 innings on the road against the Los Angeles Angels. The 34-year-old Floridian has given up one earned run in each of his last three turns and fewer than three in 12 straight outings following a string of three consecutive starts with six allowed.

07-03-19 | Astros -130 v. Rockies | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Houston Astros are starting to feel better about themselves, and a trip to Coors Field has kept them in good spirits as they try for a two-game interleague sweep of the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. Houston has won four straight following a 2-9 stretch after Tuesday's 9-8 victory. Colorado starter, Lambert hasn't factored in the decision in any of his last three starts, including Colorado's 12-8 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday in which he yielded five runs and nine hits (four home runs) over 4 2/3 innings. The 22-year-old Californian has posted an 11.37 ERA in his last three starts since beginning his career with a pair of victories over the Chicago Cubs. |

Rating: 2 Units Red Sox left-hander David Price (5-2, 3.36 ERA) is a dominant 22-3 with a 2.37 ERA in 31 appearances (30 starts) in his career against the Blue Jays. Red Sox are 14-3 in Price's last 17 starts vs. a team with a losing record and 6-1 in his last seven starts with six days of rest. Toronto turns to right-hander Trent Thornton (2-5, 4.60 ERA) who was tagged with five runs on seven hits (two homers) in 3 1/3 innings at New York Yankees last time out. Thornton might find it hard to bounce back home at Rogers Centre where he's 0-3 with a 6.39 ERA in seven starts. The Blue Jays are 2-7 in Thornton's last nine starts vs. a team with a winning record and 4-14 in their last 18 games following a win. |

07-02-19 | Cubs v. Pirates +113 | 1-5 | Win | 113 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago is 6-16 in their last 22 on the highway, losing each of their last five series. Starter Kyle Hendricks is making his first appearance off the injured list, expected to be on a very limited pitch count this evening, between 60 and 70 pitches. “You don’t want to get greedy on the first time back.” Joe Maddon’s bullpen behind him has been overworked badly of late, with only one starter finishing the sixth inning over the last week. This is NOT a team worthy of the ‘road chalk’ role. The Pirates bats have come to life here in Pittsburgh, pounding out 23 hits in last night’s blowout . They’ve scored five runs or more 10 times in their last 13 home games an ten or more runs four times in their last eight games overall. Starting pitcher Joe Musgrove has owned this Cubs lineup: a 1.37 ERA in four previous starts against them. And Musgrove is in stellar current form, allowing only one run in 13 innings of work over his last two starts with 13 strikeouts and no walks during that span. |

Rating: 2 Units Samardzija suffered career loss No. 99 after giving up five runs over five innings against Colorado on Wednesday. That marked his fourth straight non-quality start, during which he's posted a 7.17 ERA. Allen tossed seven scoreless innings while yielding three hits in his debut in the majors June 18 against Milwaukee. He followed that up with six innings of two-run ball in a victory at Baltimore on Tuesday. The 22-year-old, who was part of the 2015 trade that sent closer Craig Kimbrel to Boston, has struck out five and walked two in each of his outings. |

06-30-19 | A's v. Angels -133 | 12-3 | Loss | -133 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bassitt lasted only 3 1/3 innings at St. Louis on Tuesday but escaped with a no-decision after yielding three runs on four hits and four walks. It was the shortest outing of the season for the 30-year-old native of Ohio, who has limited opponents to a .198 batting average in six turns on the road this year. Bassitt improved to 1-2 with a 7.47 ERA in five career games (three starts) against the Angels on May 27 despite surrendering five runs and six hits in five frames. Heaney will be making his seventh start of the season after recording his first win of 2019 on Tuesday, when he allowed one run on five hits and four walks over 5 1/3 innings against Cincinnati. The 28-year-old Oklahoman has issued four free passes in each of his last two turns after walking a total of six batters over 21 2/3 frames in his first four outings. Heaney is 2-1 with a 3.67 ERA in four career starts against the Athletics. |

Rating: 2 Units The Texas Rangers rank 3rd overall in the major leagues in runs scored, but they face a reigning Cy Young winner on Sunday. Blake Snell hasn't been himself lately, getting lit up for 17 runs in just seven innings in his last three appearances. The over is 8-3 in the Rangers last 11 Sunday games, and the over is 4-0-1 in Blake Snell's last five home starts. The over is 6-1 in the Rays last seven Sunday games. Tampa's lineup has hit .310 against Texas starter Jesse Chavez over 42 at bats. |

Rating: 2 Units Greinke received a no-decision last Monday after allowing four runs on seven hits over six innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The five-time All-Star owns a 15 1/3-inning road scoreless streak and has gone 2-0 with a 0.47 ERA in his last three starts away from Chase Field. Brandon Belt is 9-for-34 with two home runs against Greinke, who was 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA in two starts versus San Francisco last season and is 5-0 with a 1.37 ERA in seven career starts at Oracle Park. Pomeranz matched a career high with 11 strikeouts and allowed two runs over five innings in last Monday’s 2-0 loss to Colorado. The outing marked a step forward for the 30-year-old native of Tennessee, who was briefly removed from the rotation after posting a 19.16 ERA in four starts last month. Pomeranz is 0-4 with an 8.53 ERA in 10 career appearances (seven starts) versus Arizona - including 0-1 with an 8.59 mark in two starts this season. |

06-29-19 | Dodgers -145 v. Rockies | 3-5 | Loss | -145 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kershaw failed to record a quality start for the first time in his last eight trips to the mound Monday in Arizona, settling for a no-decision after surrendering four runs in six innings. The three-time Cy Young Award winner has given up multiple homers in four starts and 12 in 85 frames this season after permitting 17 blasts over 161 1/3 innings last season. Kershaw is 22-7 with a 3.16 ERA in 40 career starts against Colorado, including a 10-4 record and 4.57 ERA in 21 outings at Coors Field. Gray has won each of his last three decisions and is coming off back-to-back strong road outings, allowing one earned run over six innings in Arizona on June 19 before working six scoreless frames at San Francisco on Monday. The 27-year-old has been strong at home for the most part in 2019, permitting only four home runs while going 3-1 with a 3.47 ERA in seven appearances (six starts). Cody Bellinger (8-for-11) has tormented Gray, who is 3-5 with a 4.98 ERA in 12 career turns against the Dodgers. |

Rating: 2 Units Despite allowing two runs or fewer for the seventh consecutive start, deGrom had to settle for a no-decision at the Cubs on Sunday after he gave up a pair of runs on eight hits over six innings. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner dominated the Braves in his previous start, striking out 10 and giving up a pair of solo homers over 8 1/3 innings to avenge a loss in Atlanta on April 14. |

06-28-19 | Cubs -109 v. Reds | 3-6 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cubs' left-hander Cole Hamels (6-2, 2.92 ERA) has been red hot lately, allowing a total of just four runs over his last five starts while working at least seven innings in each. Hamels has dominated the Reds throughout his career, entering this contest with a stellar 11-1 record behind a 1.91 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 17 encounters with Cincinnati. The Reds hand the ball to right-hander Sonny Gray (3-5, 4.03) who is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in two career outings versus the Cubs. He has allowed three runs or more in three straight starts and has served up two homers in back-to-back starts. Cubs are 11-4 in Hamels' last 15 starts. Reds are 0-4 in their last 4 overall. |

06-28-19 | Nationals -146 v. Tigers | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sanchez will get his first look at the Tigers since posting a 46-39 record and 4.43 ERA with the club from 2012-17. The 35-year-old Venezuelan is no stranger to some members of Detroit's lineup, with Gordon Beckham enjoying success against him in a small sample size (3-for-9). Sanchez owns a 3-0 record over his last five outings as he walked away with a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday. Norris fell to 0-5 with a 5.48 ERA in his last eight starts after getting pierced for six runs and eight hits over a season-high seven innings in Sunday's 8-3 setback at Cleveland. The 26-year-old, who is winless since May 12. |

06-27-19 | A's v. Angels -155 | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After back to back road starts, Canning will be happy to be pitching at home as he's got a solid 3.49 ERA here to go along with a stingy 0.953 WHIP. Anderson, on the other hand, remains winless on the season and he's got a 5.13 ERA and 1.52 WHIP for his career. The A's took two of three here earlier this month. Expect the Angels, who are 34-16 (+7.4) the last 50 times that they were home favorites of -150 or greater, to get the win. |

06-27-19 | Rangers -114 v. Tigers | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 1 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit, Turnbull's last two starts came against Cleveland and he suffered the loss both times, first giving up six runs in five innings and then allowing two runs in five frames. The 26-year-old has been reached for 18 runs in 19 innings over his last four home starts and is 0-5 in nine career starts at Comerica Park. Turnbull will be making his first appearance against the Rangers. In addition, the Tigers are sliding with six straight losses and 10 in their last 11 games, and they are a woeful 11-26 at home. |
|||||||
06-26-19 | Nationals -144 v. Marlins | 7-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Corbin checks in off a gem against the Phillies and he should be happy to see Miami. The last time that he faced the Marlins, he tossed a complete-game shutout. Gallen still only has one start under his belt. He's supported by the lowest-scoring team in baseball. While the Marlins average 3.5 runs per game, the Nats average five. Including the earlier loss against Corbin, the Marlins are 33-58 (-14.8) their last 91 against southpaw starters. |

06-25-19 | Mariners +1.5 v. Brewers | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Seattle Mariners have won four of their last five while the Milwaukee Brewers had dropped five straight before beating Cincinnati twice over the weekend. I think we're getting an excellent price on the visitors to keep it close here at Miller Park tonight. Seattle southpaw Marco Gonzales (8-6, 4.38 ERA) has recovered nicely from a rough stretch and enters this contest 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA in his past three starts. Gonzales is hard to beat when he's on a roll and the Mariners are 14-6 in his last 20 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. We can also note that the Brewers are 0-5 in their last five games vs. a left-handed starter. |

06-25-19 | Rangers -140 v. Tigers | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rangers come into Detroit as winners of three of their last four overall, and the Tigers have lost eight of their last nine overall. Texas could be a far bigger favorite here. Jordan Zimmerman will get the nod for Detroit, and the Tigers are 0-5 in Zimmermann's last five starts. The over is 5-0 in Zimmermann's last five starts overall. The Rangers are 10-3 in the last 13 meetings in Detroit. |

06-25-19 | Padres -181 v. Orioles | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Orioles have won just once in the last 12 games and are electing to go with a "opener" here. These bullpen days have generally not gone well for them, which shouldn't be surprising as the pitching staff has a combined 5.85 ERA, more than a full run higher than than the American League average. They are allowing the most runs per game in all of baseball right now (6.3) and incredibly that number jumps to 6.9 runs/game here at Camden Yards! San Diego's Logan Allen didn't allow any runs in his big league debut (seven innings) and gave up only three hits last Tuesday. After getting swept over the weekend in Pittsburgh, San Diego is going to want this one pretty badly. |

06-24-19 | Dodgers -128 v. Diamondbacks | 5-8 | Loss | -128 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dodgers bring a six game winning streak into Arizona, and Game 1 will be a high profile pitcher's duel featuring Clayton Kershaw starting opposite Zack Greinke. The Dodgers are 37-14 in Kershaws last 51 road starts, and they are 8-2 in Kershaw's last 10 starts versus the Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are 0-5 in their last five home games. The Diamondbacks are 1-4 in their last five home games versus a left-handed starter. |

Rating: 2 Units The Phillies are 4-2 in Zach Eflin's home starts this season. Overall, he has been the most consistent starter for the Phillies this season. Eflin has allowed 3 or less runs in 11 of his 14 starts this season. Also, he has a 2.83 ERA on the season. The Mets are starting Steven Matz and he has allowed 9 runs (7 earned) in the 6 innings spanning his last two starts against the Phillies. Also, the New York southpaw is 2-5 with an ugly 6.21 ERA in his 8 road starts this season. The Mets are 17-27 in road games this season. The Phillies have lost 4 straight home games but were 23-13 on the season at Citizens Bank Park prior to this surprising stretch. |

06-23-19 | Twins -141 v. Royals | 1-6 | Loss | -141 | 3 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pineda has allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts, including two in a row in which he's yielded just one. The 30-year-old has not surrendered a home run in each of his last four outings after serving up a total of eight over his previous four. Left fielder Alex Gordon is just 4-for-22 with eight strikeouts against Pineda. Bailey struggled mightily in the second half of May and opened June with a clunker at Texas. The 33-year-old opened his season with five innings of three-run ball against the Twins and has a 6.10 ERA in two career matchups. |

The Astros are 21-5 in Verlanders last 26 road starts, and they are 4-1 in his last five starts versus the Yankees. The Astros are 37-15 in their last 52 road games versus a left-handed starter. J.A.

06-23-19 | Blue Jays v. Red Sox -156 | 6-1 | Loss | -156 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Porcello is coming off a dominant outing at Minnesota on Monday, when he scattered four hits and struck out eight over seven scoreless innings to earn a win. The former Cy Young Award winner owns 23 strikeouts and three walks in 24 1/3 innings this month and turned in a quality start in five of his last seven outings. Porcello had little trouble at Toronto on May 22, allowing one run and three hits in six innings without factoring in the decision. |

06-22-19 | Reds +111 v. Brewers | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Castillo (7-1, 2.26 ERA) has allowed just five earned runs over his last four starts covering 23 1/3 innings of work. Castillo is an undefeated 3-0 in seven road starts on the season and owns a 3.50 ERA in six career starts against the Brew Crew. Milwaukee right-hander Jhoulys Chacin (3-8, 5.60 ERA) missed about two weeks with a back injury and was charged with the loss after allowing six hits and two runs in 4 2/3 innings at San Diego on June 17. Chacin is 0-5 over his last five starts while making it through the fifth inning in only one of those outings. |

06-22-19 | Orioles v. Mariners -170 | 8-4 | Loss | -170 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Baltimore starter, Cashner is 2-5 with a 4.22 ERA in 11 career appearances (10 starts) versus the Mariners – including 1-3 with a 4.15 mark in six games (five starts) in Seattle. Seattle starter, Milone will follow an opener Saturday after pitching well in that role last Monday when he allowed one run with six strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings against Kansas City. The 32-year-old California native was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma last month and has posted a 32-to-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio in six games (three starts) covering 32 2/3 innings. Milone, owns a 2-1 record and 2.23 ERA in six career games (five starts) versus Baltimore. |
|||||||
06-22-19 | Mets v. Cubs -129 | 10-2 | Loss | -129 | 2 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After a good start against the Giants a few weeks back, Wheeler’s last two starts against the Yankees and Braves on the road have been disastrous. In those two games, he’s allowed nine earned runs and five unearned runs in 10.2 innings with a whopping 20 hits allowed. On the road this year he’s really been off with a 5.55 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP with nine of his 14 home runs allowed coming in his eight road starts. Wheeler does tend to give the Mets some length despite the poor performance, but even if he can go six innings, giving this terrible Mets bullpen any opportunity will only help our cause. Jose Quintana managed to survive a very tough three-game stretch that saw him face the Rockies at home and on the road with another road Dodgers start thrown in for good measure. He had a decent 4.24 ERA in those games and he’s been even better at home this year with a 2.98 ERA and a 1.147 WHIP. In the last two seasons, he’s faced the Mets twice and beaten them with two runs allowed in 13 innings. |

06-18-19 | Astros -169 v. Reds | 3-4 | Loss | -169 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Verlander had zero walks while recording the 15 strikeouts in seven innings of a no-decision against Milwaukee on Wednesday. However, he did allow three home runs and is giving up 1.5 per nine innings, which would represent the highest mark of his stellar career. The 36-year-old carries an incredible 34-7 interleague record into his second career start against the Reds. |
|||||||
06-16-19 | Brewers -144 v. Giants | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Brewers come into this one 16-9 in day games. Anderson has a stellar 2.63 ERA on the road and he's had success against SF the past couple of seasons. In three starts, since 2017, vs. the Giants, he's allowed just three combined runs, through 18 2/3 innings. His teams won those games by scores of 5-2, 3-1 and 4-2. Samardzija hasn't had that type of success against Milwaukee. Not even close. In fact, his teams are 1-9 his last 10 starts vs. the Brewers. |

06-16-19 | Padres v. Rockies -144 | 14-13 | Loss | -144 | 4 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rockies wrap up this home series versus San Diego today, and Colorado looks good as the home favorite when you consider they have won 12 of their last 14 at Coors Field. The Padres are 1-5 in their last six road games, and just 1-6 in their last seven games versus a right-handed starter. The Padres are 2-6 in the last 8 meetings in Colorado. The Rockies are 6-2 in their last eight games versus a left-handed starter. |

06-16-19 | Diamondbacks v. Nationals -133 | 5-15 | Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With two starters sidelined by injury, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo will turn to Bradley, who has made all 29 appearances out of the bullpen but has pitched beyond two innings only once. Washington starter, Sanchez was in the midst of a five-start losing streak before he was forced to exit a matchup against the New York Mets after only 1 1/3 innings on May 16 due to a hamstring injury. The 35-year-old Venezuelan has been a different pitcher since his return to the rotation, going 2-0 with a 1.04 ERA in his last three turns while yielding two runs and nine hits in 17 1/3 innings. Sanchez is 4-1 with a 4.25 ERA against Arizona. |

06-15-19 | Yankees -170 v. White Sox | 8-4 | Win | 100 | 1 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Yanks were embarrassed last night, losing to the White Sox 10-2. But they were also facing a Cy Young candidate in Lucas Giolito. Tonight they face Reynaldo Lopez, who has a 6.21 ERA and 1.61 WHIP. They should easily handle him. Lopez has been even worse than usual recently with opposing hitters batting .346 against him in his last four starts. The Yankees have lost three in a row for the second time this month but prior to that had only one losing streak of that length all season. New York is going with an "opener" today in Chad Green. They've won all four previous games that Green has opened. |

06-15-19 | Cardinals v. Mets -140 | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 1 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Noah Syndergaard tossed a gem in his last home start, givig up just one hit through seven scoreless innings. He will try to help the Mets avoid a sweep here tonight, and he matches up well against Michael Wacha. The Mets are 11-2 in their last 13 home games versus a right-handed starter. The Mets are 13-4 in their last 17 home games. |

06-12-19 | Brewers v. Astros -128 | 6-3 | Loss | -128 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Verlander did not factor in the decision in his last outing as he allowed three runs and five hits over 6 1/3 innings against Seattle. The 36-year-old has given up five hits or fewer in 11 straight outings and owns a splendid 0.74 WHIP while limiting opponents to a .151 batting average this season. Verlander is 2-0 with a 1.08 ERA in two career starts against the Brewers and has enjoyed success versus Mike Moustakas (12-for-68, one homer). |

Rating: 2 Units St. Louis starter Mikolas has 30 Ks with 5 BBs his last six starts, and is 3-1 versus NL East this season. Miami starter, Urena is 1-6 with 5.59 ERA and 1.69 WHIP at home this season, and home team is 0-2 Urena in career team-starts in this series. |

06-09-19 | White Sox v. Royals -127 | 5-2 | Loss | -127 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Lopez will be making his fourth start this season against the Royals, going 1-1 with a 5.74 ERA through the first three. He is 0-2 with a 12.83 ERA over his last three outings while giving up six home runs in 13 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old, who is 0-4 with an 8.75 ERA on the road this year, has had his issues in the past with Whit Merrifield (11-for-28) and Jorge Soler (7-for-11). Sparkman came back six days after his ejection in Chicago to spin 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball in a no-decision against Boston at home. He is 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA in three starts this year while allowing just nine hits in 13 1/3 frames. |

06-09-19 | Diamondbacks -135 v. Blue Jays | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arizona left-hander Robbie Ray (4-3, 3.62 ERA) is coming off back-to-back losses after allowing three runs in seven innings of a 3-1 home loss to the Dodgers. However, note that Ray is 2-1 with a 2.63 ERA in his past five road starts and that Toronto has failed to score more than two runs in 18 of its last 34 contests. Left-hander Clayton Richard (0-1, 3.55 ERA) will toe the slab for the Blue Jays. He was 0-1 with a 6.60 ERA in three starts against Arizona last year. Richards has allowed nine hits and nine walks over 12 2/3 innings of work this season and he has yet to make it out of the fifth inning in any of his starts. The clinchers: the Blue Jays are 1-9 in their last 10 during game 3 of a series and the Diamondbacks are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Toronto. |

06-09-19 | Reds v. Phillies -135 | 4-3 | Loss | -135 | 2 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Phillies have won six of Nola’s starts in a row. The Reds haven’t been doing a lot of winning of late with six losses in eight games. Reds’ pitcher Sonny Gray is having an excellent bounceback of his own, but that hasn’t led to much winning. Cincy is 5-7 in his starts on the year, 1-4 on the road. We don’t expect much run support for Gray because that is just not the Reds’ game as they are 14-21 on the road and an awful 7-20 in day games. The Phils dominate in this situation at 22-11 at home and 30-16 vs. righties. |

06-08-19 | Cardinals v. Cubs +100 | 4-9 | Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Flaherty struck out nine Cubs in 5 2/3 frames at Wrigley Field on May 3, when he gave up three runs in a loss. Anthony Rizzo (7-for-11, two homers) has feasted on Flaherty. Lester went 0-3 with a 10.28 ERA over his final three starts in May, but opened June with a much better effort by limiting the Los Angeles Angels to a run in seven frames while striking out six. He has a 1.76 ERA in six home starts this year while posting 32 strikeouts and four walks in 30 2/3 innings. |
|||||||
06-08-19 | Pirates v. Brewers -164 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 3 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Zach Davies will start here for the Brew Crew, looking to stay perfect on the season. He's 6-0 in 12 starts (8-4 TSR) with a 2.20 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. He just faced Pittsburgh six days ago and held them to two runs over eight innings. Starting that game for Pittsburgh was Jordan Lyles. He gave up all four runs in a 4-2 loss. Lyles will start again Saturday afternoon. It's tough to like him with a 7.47 ERA his last three starts. |
|||||||
06-08-19 | Diamondbacks -130 v. Blue Jays | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Zack Greinke wasn’t so sharp in his last outing against the Mets in a game that the Diamondbacks eventually won, but that is about the only bad thing about Greinke lately. That last start was his first since Opening Day where he allowed more than three earned runs, a streak that stretched 11 starts. Greinke has been good against basically everyone, but this Toronto team is not one that scares us. The Jays are an ugly 13-30 against righties this year, being outscored by 1.4 runs. They are only slightly better at home at 12-19 with a 1.3 run per game deficit. The D-Backs have a winning record away from home, but it is their offense that intrigues us most. Away from their hitter-friendly park, they still have an average of 5.6 runs per game with an excellent .796 team OPS. That should come in handy against a pitcher like Aaron Sanchez, who has allowed 24 batters to reach base in his last 15 innings with the Jays losing all three |
|||||||
06-07-19 | White Sox +110 v. Royals | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The White Sox have been playing a bit better of late, winning six of their last nine games as they hover around the .500 mark. They have easily been at their best in night games with a 19-11 record and huge profits. They have also been very good in-division with a 16-13 AL Central record and if they are to get closer to .500 or even get past it, they must take care of teams like the Royals. With six wins in nine games vs. Kansas City, they are on their way to accomplishing their goals. Ivan Nova pitched well in a win a few weeks back against Kansas City. Homer Bailey also pitched in that series, but his recent track record is ugly enough that we have to be wary of him. He has allowed at least four runs in three of his last four starts and hasn’t pitched more than 4.1 innings in any of them. |

06-07-19 | A's v. Rangers -108 | 5-3 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anderson is expected to make his scheduled start after leaving his outing against Houston on Saturday with an oblique issue. The 31-year-old native of Midland, Texas took the loss in that contest after yielding three runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings. Anderson is 3-4 with a 4.82 ERA in 14 career games (11 starts) versus the Rangers, including a no-decision at Texas on April 14 in which he allowed three runs on two hits and a pair of walks over six frames. Lynn will attempt to redeem himself after being battered for eight runs and nine hits in 3 1/3 innings of a loss at Oakland on April 23. It was the first career appearance against the Athletics by the 32-year-old from Indiana, who has won three of his last four overall turns and four straight at home. The most recent victory came against Kansas City on Saturday, when Lynn gave up two runs and six hits over 6 1/3 frames. |

06-07-19 | Cardinals v. Cubs -123 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 1 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After getting swept by the Cardinals in the midst of an ugly road trip where they lost five of six games, you can bet that the Cubs have this one circled for revenge. They certainly feel better about winning four straight against the Rockies and Angels. Cole Hamels will be key here, especially with his two tough luck losses against St. Louis where he allowed a single earned run in 14 innings of work with just nine base runners allowed. St. Louis has lost money on the road this year with a 11-16 while being outscored by 13 runs. The Cubs are an excellent 21-10 AT HOME this year with a +38 run differential. Miles Mikolas has good numbers against Chicago, but he’s been downright bad away from home this year with a 7.66 ERA in give road starts. We don’t see this working out for him |

06-05-19 | Rockies +107 v. Cubs | 8-9 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Marquez enjoyed a successful month of May, winning all three of his decisions while escaping with no-decisions after three rough outings. The 24-year-old Venezuelan ended the month with a victory over Toronto on Friday in which he allowed two runs and six hits over seven innings. Darvish made six starts last month but did not record a decision despite allowing three runs or fewer in four of the outings. The 32-year-old native of Japan worked six innings at St. Louis on Friday, permitting one run on three hits and three walks with six strikeouts. Darvish has yet to defeat Colorado in his career, surrendering 16 runs on 17 hits and nine walks over 13 1/3 frames while losing all three of his starts. |

06-03-19 | Bruins +105 v. Blues | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues waited 49 years between hosting games in the Stanley Cup Final, and another such contest after Monday's Game 4 might not be in the cards if they don't take a more disciplined approach against the Boston Bruins. The Bruins scored four power-play goals on as many shots to breeze to a 7-2 victory on Saturday and take a 2-1 edge in the series. Boston has scored with the man advantage in each of its past seven games to match a franchise postseason record, while its 23 power-play goals are one shy of the club mark for one playoff season (1991). St. Louis has defied the odds to get to this point and it’s “luck” appears to be running out. The Blues have been riding the coat-tails of red-hot goaltender Jordan Binnington, who has shouldered the load and gotten the team to this point. But Boston has an equally as hot netminder in Tuukka Rask, who also clearly has the advantage in the “experience” department over his rookie counterpart. |

06-02-19 | Phillies v. Dodgers -165 | 0-8 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Philadelphia starter, Pivetta allowed three runs, three hits (two homers) and two walks while recording six strikeouts in five innings of a 4-3 victory over St. Louis on Tuesday in his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 26-year-old Canadian was pegged to be Philadelphia's No. 2 starter coming out of spring training but went 2-1 with an 8.35 ERA in his first four turns to earn a demotion in April. Chris Taylor is 3-for-5 with two solo home runs against Pivetta, who is 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in two starts versus the Dodgers - both of which took place during his rookie season in 2017. Los Angeles starter, Hill did not factor in the decision against the New York Mets on Tuesday after yielding two runs and six hits while recording six strikeouts in six innings of Los Angeles' 7-3 loss. The 39-year-old native of Massachusetts hasn't permitted more than three runs in any of his six turns this season. Hill is 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in seven career games (four starts) versus the Phillies but hasn't faced them since 2013 with Cleveland. |

Rating: 2 Units Cole bounced back from a rough outing against the Chicago White Sox by limiting the crosstown Cubs to two runs and three hits over six innings en route to victory Monday. The 28-year-old Californian recorded his sixth double-digit strikeout performance by registering a season high-tying 12, raising his major league-leading total to 112. Cole owns a 3-1 record and 3.38 ERA with 50 strikeouts over 37 2/3 frames in six starts versus Oakland. |

06-02-19 | Tigers v. Braves -150 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 2 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Teheran makes his first start of June after a stellar May in which he posted a 0.98 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in five starts, holding opponents to a .128 batting average while not allowing more than one earned run in any outing. The 28-year-old matched a season high with four walks May 26 at St. Louis, giving up three runs in total (two unearned) on two hits in five innings. Teheran’s lone career appearance against Detroit came on Oct. 2, 2016, in which he pitched seven shutout innings on the final day of the season in the last game played at Turner Field. |

06-01-19 | Astros -147 v. A's | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Verlander has registered 95 strikeouts in 79 1/3 innings and is just three away from surpassing the legendary Cy Young (2,803) for 21st place on the all-time list. The 36-year-old has allowed fewer than two runs in eight of his 12 starts and five or fewer hits on nine occasions. Verlander is 12-6 with a 2.73 ERA in 20 career starts against Oakland and has been roughed up by slugger Khris Davis (6-for-11, four homers). Anderson has won back-to-back starts, allowing a total of two runs in 11 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old is 3-1 with a 3.42 ERA in five home starts this season despite issuing 16 walks in just 26 1/3 frames. Anderson is 1-3 with a 6.97 ERA in five career appearances (four starts) against Houston and has struggled to retire former teammate Josh Reddick (4-for-5, one homer). |

06-01-19 | Blue Jays v. Rockies -147 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rockies are red hot, coming into Game 2 of this home series versus Toronto as winners of six straight. The Blue Jays have lost seven of eight. Jon Gray will toe the rubber for the Rockies, and he's coming off consecutive wins in his last two starts. The Rockies have won six of his last eight starts, and he's 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in four home starts. The Jays hand the ball to Marcus Stroman, who has been better at home than he has been on the road. Stroman (3-6, 2.74 ERA) hasn't gone deep into games, pitching five or less innings in three of his last six starts. Only the Tigers have scored fewer runs than Toronto in the American League. |

06-01-19 | Royals v. Rangers -155 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 3 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Texas has been one of baseball's hotter teams lately. Lance Lynn doesn't have the numbers he had a few years ago, but he's still winning games and striking out more than his share of batters. His 22 strikeouts over 13 innings in his last two starts raise some eyebrows. He faces a Royals team that ranks 20th in the majors in scoring. Texas ranks 3rd in the majors in runs scored. |

05-31-19 | Astros -120 v. A's | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Peacock is dominating of late and allowed a total of one run and 12 hits across 23 innings over his last four starts. The 31-year-old struck out eight while scattering four hits over six scoreless innings against Boston on Saturday, and has fanned 32 combined in his last four outings. Peacock tossed a scoreless inning of relief at Oakland on April 17. Fiers allowed three or fewer runs in each of his last six starts, highlighted by a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds on May 7. The Florida native surrendered a pair of home runs against Seattle on Saturday but limited the damage to three runs on five hits in six innings to come away with the win. Fiers went up against Peacock on April 7 and suffered through his worst outing of the season, allowing six runs on seven hits and four walks in 1 2/3 innings. |

Rating: 2 Units Chicago starter, Covey has dropped back-to-back starts, allowing eight runs in 10 innings during the stretch. The 27-year-old recorded a season-high six strikeouts in six frames against Minnesota in his last turn, when he gave up four runs and three hits. Covey lost to the Indians in relief on April 1, when he faced four batters and allowed two runs while taking the loss, and is 1-3 with a 4.24 ERA in nine career appearances (six starts) against the team. Cleveland starter, Bauer is 8-4 with a 3.65 in 19 career appearances (17 starts) against Chicago |

05-31-19 | Tigers v. Braves -175 | 8-2 | Loss | -175 | 4 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Foltynewicz notched his first victory of the season last time out, as the 2018 NL All-Star continues rounding into form after elbow soreness and a slow start to 2019. The 27-year-old held St. Louis to one unearned run on five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts on May 24, and in his past two starts has surrendered two earned runs on eight hits across 12 innings with 10 strikeouts and zero walks. |

05-29-19 | Blues v. Bruins -160 | 3-2 | Loss | -160 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins made a loud statement -- psychologically and physically -- that the road to the Stanley Cup must go through them and that standing in their path carries a risk of getting run over. A stirring comeback and thunderous hit right out of "Slap Shot" enabled the Bruins to take a 1-0 series lead into Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals versus the visiting St. Louis Blues tonight. It may not rival the iconic image of Bobby Orr flying through the air after scoring the Cup-clinching goal versus St. Louis in 1970, but Bruins defenseman Torey Krug left an indelible mark on Game 1, going airborne after his helmet-less, open-ice thunderous check on Robert Thomas in the third period. While the Blues prefer to look ahead rather than dwell on the series opener, they were manhandled in more ways than Krug's hit, squandering an early two-goal lead and getting outshot 30-12 over the final two periods. The clincher: Boston is 24-8 in their last 32 games as a home favorite of -151 to -200. |

05-29-19 | Giants -113 v. Marlins | 2-4 | Loss | -113 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Giants Bumgarner (3-4, 4.10 ERA) comes in off perhaps his best start of the year, going six innings while posting 17 swinging strikes and giving up two runs vs. the Braves on Thursday. With both the Phillies and Yankees reportedly interested in the Giants’ veteran, Bumgarner has plenty to “play for” here, even though his team might not. Pablo Lopez (3-5, 5.40) gets the nod for the home side. Lopez has an 8.26 ERA on the road and a 1.93 ERA at home. The Marlins though are a terrible 1-4 (-2.9 units) already this season after scoring eight or more runs. |

05-29-19 | Indians v. Red Sox +102 | 14-9 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cleveland had lost seven of its previous eight games before last night where it is now sitting right at .500 and 10 games behind the Twins in the American League Central. The Indians are 4-10 in their last 14 games after allowing five runs or more in their previous game while going 17-33 in their last 50 games when the money line is +125 to -125. Shane Bieber is having a solid season with a 3.11 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. His ERA goes up to 3.29 on the road which is still very solid but the Indians are just 2-2 in his four road starts as they are giving him only 3.3 rpg. The Indians are 1-4 in his last five starts after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. Ryan Weber gets the ball for Boston and in his only other start for the Red Sox, he pitched six innings of three-hit, one-run ball while walking none and striking out four as the Sox won at Toronto, 8-2, last Thursday. In four games, he is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA. |

05-28-19 | Cardinals +118 v. Phillies | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units St. Louis starter, Wainwright answered an 0-2 mark in his last three starts by evening his record on Wednesday after allowing three runs on six hits in five innings of a 10-3 win versus Kansas City. The 37-year-old has struggled with his control of late, permitting nine walks in his last two starts (nine innings). Offseason acquisitions Jean Segura (10-for-22, homer) and Harper (9-for-20, homer) have flustered Wainwright, who owns a 7-2 mark with a 2.90 ERA in 15 career encounters (13 starts) against Philadelphia. While Philadelphia starter, Pivetta will return to the starting rotation for the first time since April 16 after being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 26-year-old British Columbia native was rocked for 18 runs and 31 hits -- including five homers -- in his first four starts of the season with the Phillies |

05-28-19 | Pirates +105 v. Reds | 6-11 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pittsburgh starter, Lyles won his third consecutive start on Thursday despite yielding a season-high six runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings against Colorado. The 28-year-old native of South Carolina had given up one run in each of his previous three turns and more than two just once in eight outings prior to facing the Rockies. Lyles is 4-1 with a 4.12 ERA in 15 career games (eight starts) versus Cincinnati, including a no-decision in his season debut on April 4 in which he scattered three hits and three walks over five scoreless frames. |

05-28-19 | Padres v. Yankees -184 | 5-4 | Loss | -184 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Diego Starter, Lauer has had two good starts of late, but his road work has been less than stellar even if you discount the one start where he gave up eight runs in Colorado. Overall he has an 8.24 ERA in his four road starts, spanning 19.2 innings with 30 base runners allowed. The Padres’ offense also features an outlier as they scored 19 runs a few days ago, but have been ordinary otherwise. They average just 3.3 runs per game in night games and should have trouble with Masahiro Tanaka, who has a 0.95 ERA in his last 19 innings with an 18-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. |
