05-24-21 | Rays v. Blue Jays OVER 10.5 | Top | 14-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
AL East action early here on Monday has the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the Toronto Blue Jays. The Rays are red-hot, having won 10-straight games and have pulled into a tie in the East with the Red Sox for the top spot. The Blue Jays have lost five straight and dropped to fourth in the East, 4.5-games back of the Rays and Red Sox. The Rays have been a very good over team with a 27-20 O/U mark on the season. This game should be another high scoring affair. The Rays start Ryan Yarbrough who is 0-3 in five starts with a 6.28 ERA. He's even worse on the road with a 8.25 ERA. Yarbrough has just one of his five starts that he has seen fewer than five runs allowed and that was in his first start of the season. New isn't any better on the Jays side with 0-3 Ross Stripling toeing the rubber today. Stripling has a 7.20 ERA on the season and a 8.31 ERA at home. This one should see plenty of runs. Play the OVER. |

05-23-21 | Brewers -112 v. Reds | 9-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
NL Central action here on Sunday has the 3rd place Milwaukee Brewers taking on the 4th place Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers and Reds have both lost seven of their last 10 games as they have dropped in the standings. The Brewers are now 4-games back of the Cardinals while the Reds are 5.5-games back.

Luis Castillo has struggled a lot for the Reds. Castillo is 1-6 after nine starts with a 7.44 ERA and 1.795 WHIP. He's also allowed 15 runs over his last 12 2/3 innings of work. I'll take the road team here with the much better starter on the hill. Play Milwaukee. |

05-23-21 | Twins v. Indians -138 | Top | 8-5 | Loss | -138 | 3 h 31 m | Show |
AL Central clash today between 2nd place Cleveland Indians and the last place Minnesota Twins. Disappointing season thus far for the Twins as they sit in last place with a 16-29 record and 10.5 games back of the White Sox. The Indians are 24-19 and in second place, 1.5 games back of the White Sox. The Twins start J.A. Happ today who is 2-2 after seven starts with a 5.35 ERA. He's been even worse on the road with a 1-1 record and 7.54 ERA. Zach Plesac will toe the rubber for the Indians. Plesac is 4-3 after nine starts with a 3.93 ERA. He's been a bit better at home with a 2.93 ERA. Twins don't install much confidence in me. However, the Indians do, especially with a solid Plesac on the hill. Take Cleveland |

05-22-21 | Diamondbacks -113 v. Rockies | 6-7 | Loss | -113 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
The Arizona Diamondbacks have lost six straight games and nine of their last 10 games to drop to 4th in the NL West, 10.5 games back of the Giants and Padres. The only team behind them? That would be today's opponent, Colorado. The Rockies are 12 games back in the NL West after a 4-6 record their last 10 games. The D'backs will start Madison Bumgarner today. He has a 4-3 record in his nine starts with a 4.15 ERA. Bumgarner has been very good of late, allowing no more than two runs in any of his last six starts. Antonio Senzatela will go for the Rockies today. Senzatela is 1-4 in his eight starts with a 5.18 ERA. Two teams both looking to go no where the way they are playing this year. But Bumgarner has looked good and I will take him here today. Play Arizona. |

05-21-21 | Dodgers v. Giants +117 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a tough NL West matchup tonight as the 1st place San Francisco Giants take on the surging LA Dodgers. The Giants are holding a 1-game lead over the Padres and 2-games over the Dodgers. The Giants have won five straight and eight of 10 games. The Dodgers have won four straight and eight of the last 10. Trevor Bauer has been solid for LA thus far with a 4-2 record in nine starts and a 2.20 ERA. Ex-Dodger Alex Wood will toe the rubber for the Giants. Wood is 5-0 in his six starts with a 1.75 ERA. I'm looking at the value here and that's on the home dog Giants. |

He's been about the same on the road with a 2-1 record and 2.51 ERA. The Rays will turn to Anthony Kay who is 0-2 in his three starts with a 6.35 ERA and 1.324 WHIP.

He's been about as good on the road with a 3-0 record in three starts with a 3.18 ERA. The Jays will start ex-Met starter Steven Matz. Matz is 5-2 over his eight starts with a 4.29 ERA. Getting the Red Sox as a nice little dog here tonight. I give edges to the Sox overall and in starters. Play Boston. |

Miami Marlins dropped their game at Philly on Tuesday, 3-8. The loss dropped the Marlins to 18-23 on the season and 4.5 games back of the NY Mets in the NL East. The win by Philly brought them one game closer to the Mets as they sit second in the East just one game back of first place. The Marlins will turn to Trevor Rogers here today. Rogers is 5-2 on the season with a 1.84 ERA. He's been good on the road too with a 3-1 record, 1.93 ERA and 1.071 WHIP. Rogers has allowed just two total runs over his last 11 innings of work. The Phils will counter with Zach Eflin. Eflin is 2-2 on the season with a 3.86 ERA and 1.169 WHIP. He is coming off a five run outing at Washington where he absorbed the loss. Rogers has been very good and I will take the Marlins as a small, live dog on Wednesday. Play Miami. |

05-19-21 | Rays v. Orioles +107 | Top | 9-7 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
The Tampa Bay Rays have closed to just one-game back of the Red Sox for the lead in the crowded AL East. The top five teams are all within 1 1/2 games of first place. Only the Orioles are seven games back. The Rays beat the O's on Tuesday evening, 13-6. The toughest game of this set is here though for the Rays. They have to face Baltimore ace John Means. Not only did Means toss a no-hitter at Seattle back on May 5th, but he has now run his scoreless inning streak to 15 innings. In fact, if you go back five starts, he allowed just three runs over 35 1/3 innings. The Rays will counter with Ryan Yarbrough. Yarbrough is 0-3 on the season with a 6.75 ERA and 1.544 WHIP. Harbrough has allowed 11 runs over his last 12 innings of work. Huge advantage here today to the Orioles. If they win a game in this series, this is the one. Play Baltimore. |

The Cleveland Indians look to snap a 4-game losing streak tonight at the LA Angels. The Indians have dropped to 2nd place int he AL Central, 3.5-games back of the 1st place White Sox. The LA Angels have won two games in a row and are 5-5 over their last 10 games. They are in 4th place in the AL West, 6-games back of the Oakland A's.

Andrew Heaney will toe the rubber for the Angels tonight. Heaney is 1-3 in his seven starts with a 4.75 ERA and 1.139 WHIP. Heaney is coming off a loss at Houston where he allowed five runs over 5 1/3 innings. Both teams need a win here tonight, but Indians have the better starter. Play Cleveland. |
|||||||
05-18-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Royals | 0-2 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
Milwaukee and Kansas City begin their series here tonight. The Brewers 4-6 record over their last 10 games has seen them slip to 2nd in the NL Central, two-games back of the Cardinals. The Royals have been in a slide for a while now, the latest a 2-8 mark over their last 10 games. The Royals are in 3rd in the AL Central, but seven games back of division leading Chicago White Sox. The Brewers will start Brandon Woodruff tonight. Woodruff is 2-1 in his eight starts with a 1.64 ERA and 0.730 WHIP. Woodruff has put up even better numbers on the road, posting a 0.70 ERA over his four away starts and a 0.506 WHIP. Kris Bubic will get another look as the No. 5 starter here on Tuesday. Bubic has worked out of the pen but this will be his first major league start. I will stick with a very good Woodruff today against a struggling Royals team. Play the Brewers -1.5 Runs. |
|||||||
05-18-21 | Giants +108 v. Reds | 4-2 | Win | 108 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
The Giants took game one of their series with the Reds on Monday, 6-3. The win kept the Giants in 1st place in the NL West with a 25-16 record. The Giants have won two in a row and seven of their last 10 games. The Giants will start Anthony Desclafani here today. Desclafani is 3-1 in his eight starts with a nifty 2.14 ERA and 0.885 WHIP. The Reds fell to 4th in the NL Central, though they are still just three-games back of division leading St Louis. The Reds will start Luis Castillo here today. Castillo is 1-5 in his eight starts with a lofty 7.71 ERA and 1.795 WHIP. He's been slightly better at home with a 5.49 ERA. Castillo has allowed 12 runs over his last 7 2/3 innings. I have to stick with the Giants here again today. Play San Francisco. |
|||||||
05-17-21 | Mets v. Braves UNDER 8 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 33 m | Show | |
The NL East leading NY Mets travel to Atlanta to begin their series against the Braves. The Mets have lost three straight games after winning seven in a row. They are also in first place despite having a -10 run differential. The Braves are in 3rd in the East with a 19-21 record and have a -15 run differential. The Mets have been an excellent under team this year with a 12-19-2 O/U mark. The Mets average just 3.6 rpg while allowing 3.7 rpg. Taijuan Walker looks to start today for the Mets. Walker is 3-1 in his seven starts with a 2.20 ERA. Walker has allowed just one total run over his last 14 innings. The Braves will turn to Max Fried. Fried is 1-1 with a 6.55 ERA in his five starts. However, he has been very good of late, allowing two total runs over his last 11 innings. Even if these pitchers one or both are replaced here on Monday, I will take this game UNDER the total as the Mets are one of the better under teams. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
05-17-21 | Giants v. Reds -134 | 6-3 | Loss | -134 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
The Cincinnati Reds have won two straight games to improve to the .500 mark at 19-19 on the year. The Reds will start Sonny Gray who is still looking for that first win of the season after five starts. Gary, 0-2 on the season, has a 3.55 ERA and is even better at home with a 1.59 ERA at home after two starts. San Francisco kept its half game lead in the NL West over the Padres by winning on Sunday. The Giants will turn to Logan Webb here today. Webb is 2-3 after seven starts with a 4.86 ERA. He's been worse on the road with a 7.58 ERA after four starts. I will take the Reds here at home over a poor road starter in Webb. Play Cincinnati. |
|||||||
05-16-21 | Cardinals v. Padres UNDER 7 | 3-5 | Loss | -120 | 17 h 23 m | Show | |
The Cardinals lost their second straight game after dropping Saturday's contest at San Diego. The Cards remain in first in the NL Central with a 3-game lead over 2nd place Milwaukee. The Padres closed with within a half game of first place San Francisco with their win. The Cardinals will start Kwang-Hyun Kim today. Kim is 1-0 in his five starts with the Cardinals winning all five of his outings. Kim has a 2.74 ERA and 1.261 Whip. Kim has allowed just one run in each of his last four outings. The Padres will counter withy Ryan Weathers. Weathers is 0-0 after three starts with a 0.00 ERA and 0.580 WHIP. Weathers only went one inning in his last start but has gone as long as 5 2/3 innings. Weathers has nine KO's against four walks. Both pitchers have been good and while Saturday's contest had a combined 16 runs, I look for far less than that here today. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
05-16-21 | Angels v. Red Sox -143 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -143 | 3 h 52 m | Show |
The Boston Red Sox have won three straight games and seven of their last 10 games as they sit atop the AL East division by 2-games over the Yankees. The Sox look to sweep their series with the Angles today and they will turn to Nathan Eovaldi to do that. Eovaldi is 4-2 in his eight starts with a 4.00 ERA and 1.134 WHIP. The LA Angels have lost four straight games and fallen to last in the AL West with a 16-22 record. Jose Quintana will start today for the Halos. Quintana is 0-3 in his six starts with a whopping 9.00 ERA and 2.143 WHIP. The news is even worse on the road where his is 0-2 with a 18.00 ERA and 3.400 WHIP. Boston hits lefties really well and Quintana is going to be fodder for this Sox lineup today. Play Boston. |
|||||||
05-16-21 | Giants -1.5 v. Pirates | 4-1 | Win | 107 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
The San Francisco Giants two-game losing streak has seen their NL West lead go from 2.5 games to just 1/2 game as of today. No team in the West is really hot, with none winning more than six games in the last 10. Still, the Giants face dropping out of the lead today with a loss and Padres win. Alex Wood looks to stem the tide here today. Wood is 4-0 in his five starts with a nifty 1.80 ERA and 0.800 WHIP. The Pirates are in last place in the NL Central with a 17-22 record. They have won two straight games though. The Bucs have the worst run differential in the National league at -41 runs. Mitch Keller will toe the rubber for Pittsburgh. Keller is 2-4 after seven starts with a lofty 7.81 ERA. It doesn't get any better at home where he is 1-3 in four starts with a 12.22 ERA. The Giants get back in the win column here today. Play San Francisco -1.5 Runs. |

05-15-21 | Cardinals v. Padres UNDER 7 | 3-13 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 42 m | Show | |
The St Louis Cardinals remain atop the NL Central division despite losing at San Diego on Friday night. The Cardinals have won seven of their last 11 games and are 23-16 on the season. The San Diego Padres closed within one game of NL West leading San Francisco. The Padres start Chris Paddack tonight. Paddack is 1-3 on the season with a 3.42 ERA. He's been slightly better at home with a 3.00 ERA in two starts despite losing both games. Adam Wainwright will start for the Cardinals. Wainwright is 2-3 on the season with a 3.80 ERA. He's coming off a very good start where he allowed no runs and just three hits over 8 2/3 innings to the Rockies. Both pitchers are above average and I'll take the UNDER here today. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Cardinals +121 v. Padres | 3-13 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
The St Louis Cardinals look to rebound from their loss to San Diego last night. The Cards are still in first place in the NL Central with a 23-16 record and lead 2nd place Milwaukee by three-games. The Padres win closed them to within 1.5 games of first place San Francisco in the NL West. The Padres will start Chris Paddack tonight. Paddack is 1-3 in his six starts with a 3.42 ERA. Adam Wainwright counters for the Cardinals tonight. Wainwright is 2-3 in his seven starts with a 3.80 ERA. He's also coming off a fine start where he allowed just three hits and no runs over 8 1/3 innings to the Rockies. We get the Cards as a dog here tonight. I'll take that live dog. Play St Louis. |

05-15-21 | Royals v. White Sox -1.5 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
The Kansas City Royals looking for an answer to their recent slide which has seen the team lost nine of their last 10 games. Won't get any easier today against the AL Central leading White Sox. The Sox have won eight of their last 10 games and have arguably the best AL pitcher on the hill today in Carlos Rondon. Rondon is 5-0 in his five starts with a amazing 0.58 ERA and 0.677 WHIP. No need to look any further than that for this game. I can't lay the money line, but I will lay the run line here today. Play Chicago -1.5 runs. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | Angels v. Red Sox +106 | 0-9 | Win | 106 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
The Boston Red Sox have won two straight games and lead the AL East by two games over the Yankees. The LA Angels have lost three in a row and seven of their last 10 games and find themselves in last in the AL West. The Angels allow a whopping 5.6 runs per game while scoring just 4.5 runs. They will start Dylan Bundy today who is 0-4 in his seven starts. Bunday has a 5.03 overall ERA and is coming off a 3 1/3 inning performance vs the Dodgers where he allowed six runs. The Sox will counter with Martin Perez. Perez is 0-2 in his seven starts with a 4.01 ERA. Perez coming off four good starts where he has allowed two runs or fewer in each start. Not sure why the Angels moved to a small favorite in this game considering how they are playing and with a poor starter on the hill. I'll take the Sox today. Play Boston. |
|||||||
05-15-21 | A's +126 v. Twins | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 7 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's took game one of this series with the Minnesota Twins on Friday, 6-1. The win improved the A's to 24-16 on the season. Meanwhile, the Twins lost their fifth in a row after Friday night to drop to 12-23 on the season. The A's will start Cole Irvin who is 3-4 on the season with a 3.29 ERA. The Twins will counter with Jose Berrios who is 3-2 on the season with a 3.49 ERA. Berrios hasn't been any better at home with a 5.63 ERA in his three starts. Twins continue to have problems getting on track. I don't expect that to happen tonight either. Play Oakland. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Angels v. Red Sox -120 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
The LA Angels have struggled this year to a 16-20 and AL West last place slot. The Angels have lost two straight games and seven of their last 10 games. Won't get any easier here today in Boston, where the Red Sox are in 1st place in the AL East with a 23-16 record. They have won six of 10 games. The Angels will start Griffin Canning. Canning is 2-2 after five starts with a 4.95 ERA and 1.437 WHIP. He's been a bit worse on the road where he is 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA. The Sox will start Nick Pivetta. Nick is a perfect 5-0 after seven starts with a 3.19 ERA. Surprised this line isn't higher on the Sox who are at home with the much better starter. But that's ok, I'll take them. Play Boston. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Giants v. Pirates UNDER 7.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
The surprising San Francisco Giants continue to lead the NL West by 2.5 games over the Dan Diego Padres. The Giants have won three straight and seven of their last 10 games. They will start Kevin Gausman today who is 3-0 after seven starts with a 1.97 ERA and 0.854 WHIP. Gausman has been even better on the road with a 2-0 mark and a 1.05 ERA. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in last place in the NL Central with a 15-22 record, 7.5 games back of the Cardinals. They have lost two straight and seven of their last 10. Rookie pitcher Miguel Yajure is now expected to start today for the Bucs. This will be his second major league start. His first start coming earlier this season where he went 4.1 innings and allowed four runs and four hits. Yajure is one of the top prospects in the Bucs system. I like this game to be low scoring today. Play UNDER. |

05-13-21 | Indians -119 v. Mariners | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Indians are in 2nd place in the AL Central, just one game back of the White Sox. The Indians are 8-2 over their last 10 games and bring a three-game win streak to Seattle tonight. The Mariners have dropped to third place in the AL West after losing four straight and seven of their last 10 games. The Indians will start Zach Plesac tonight. Plesac is 2-3 in his seven starts with a 3.82 ERA and 1.025 WHIP. Plesac has been very good of late, allowing no runs over his last 13 2/3 innings with 13 KO's and just four walks. Logan Gilbert makes his first start of the season for the Mariners. Gilbert, a top pitching prospect of the M's, has been called up by the Mariners for this start. Until I see Gilbert pitch I'll go with the proven starter in this one. Play Cleveland. |

05-13-21 | Marlins -123 v. Diamondbacks | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
The Miami Marlins continue their West coast trip here tonight in Arizona. This will be the final game of this 4-game set with the D'backs. The Marlins are 1-2 in the three games in Arizona and have scored just eight total runs in the three games. The Marlins will start Trevor Rogers tonight. Rogers is 4-2 in his seven starts with a 1.89 ERA and 1.079 WHIP. He's been just as good on the road with a 2.05 ERA and 1.091 WHIP in his four away starts. Merrill Kelly will toe the rubber for the D'backs tonight. Rogers is 2-3 in his seven starts with a 5.40 ERA. He's been very good at home with a 1-0 record in his two starts with a 2.31 ERA and 1.285 ERA. I like the Marlins starter a lot here tonight. Play Miami. |

05-13-21 | Twins v. White Sox -130 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 23 m | Show |
The Chicago White Sox are in 1st place in the AL Central, one game ahead of the Cleveland Indians. The Sox have won five straight games and seven of their last 10. The Sox have baseballs best run differential at +64 thanks to a big hitting ball club. Especially against lefties where they are 8-1 this year. The Sox have also won five straight games. Now they face a Twins team that is struggling , losing three in a row and seven of their last 10 games. They were pummeled on Wednesday by the Sox, 8-13. Michael Pineda has pitched well for the Twins, going 2-1 after six starts with a 2.43 ERA. However, Carlos Rondon has been amazing this year with a 5-0 record after five starts with a 0.58 ERA and 0.677 WHIP. He has not allowed more than one run in any of his five starts. I'm coming right back with the White Sox here on Thursday. Play Chicago. (Note: pitching change as Lynn now going for White Sox. This play still stays same for Jim) |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Twins v. White Sox -135 | Top | 8-13 | Win | 100 | 18 h 56 m | Show |
The White Sox should be happy to see Minnesota Pitcher J.A. Happ here today. Why? Happ is a lefty. The White Sox have killed lefty pitchers this year at a MLB best 7-1 on the year. In fact, this even goes back to last season. Conversely, they have been held scoreless in 14 consecutive innings by right handed pitchers. The plain fact is that the Sox beat up on lefties. Happ has been very good this year with a 2-0 record in his five starts with a 1.91 ERA and 0.847 WHIP. Dallas Keuchel is 1-1 for the Sox with a 3.55 ERA in his seven starts. Keuchel has also allowed just four total runs over his last 19 innings of work. Tough to go against Happ the way he's pitching, but the Sox record against lefties is too hard to pass on here. Play Chicago. |

05-12-21 | Phillies v. Nationals UNDER 8.5 | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Philadelphia looks to build on their one-game win streak after taking Tuesday's game against the Nationals, 6-2. It was the team's sixth win in their last eight games. Philly will send Zach Wheeler to the hill today. Wheeler is 3-2 in his seven starts with a 2.83 ERA and 0.965 WHIP. Washington dropped to 13-18 after losing its third straight game on Tuesday. The Nationals are one of the better under teams too, going 10-20-1 O/U on the season. That's in big part to an anemic offense that averages just 3.6 rpg. Veteran Jon Lester will toe the rubber today. Lester is 0-1 in his two starts with a 2.70 ERA and 1.300 WHIP. I'm looking at a lower scoring game here today. Play UNDER. |

05-11-21 | A's +117 v. Red Sox | 3-2 | Win | 117 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's had Monday off while the Boston Red Sox lost at Baltimore, 1-4. The A's took two of three games from their weekend series with the Rays. Chris Bassitt gets the start here today. He's 2-2 in his seven starts with a 3.70 ERA and 1.210 WHIP. Bassitt has been very consistent, allowing two runs in each of his last five games. The Sox loss on Monday dropped them to 22-14 and snapped their four-game win streak. Nathan Eovaldi will toe the rubber today for the Sox. Eovaldi is 4-2 in his seven starts with a 4.39 ERA and 1.205 WHIP. He's been a bit worse at Fenway, posting a 5.14 ERA and 1.286 WHIP. I'll take the live dog in this one Tuesday. Play Oakland. |

Interleague action here on Tuesday has the Baltimore Orioles at the NY Mets. The Orioles won on Monday and that improved them to 16-19 overall on the season. The Mets saw their win streak go to five games after Monday's win and now are 16-13. Both these teams have been very good under teams on the season. The O's are 11-23-1 O/U and the Mets are 10-17-2 O/U on the year. This is in part to offenses that score less than four runs a game but also to some excellent starting pitching. The O's will send John Means to the hill today. Means is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA and 0.674. He's coming off a complete game win over the Mariners where he got a No-Hitter and had 12 walks. Means got the first No-hitter for the Orioles in over 30 years. The Mets Marcus Stroman will toe the rubber with his 2.12 ERA and 1.029 WHIP with a 3-3 record. Both these starters are excellent and for me I'm taking this game UNDER. |

With the way Boston is hitting the ball and two poor starters, I'll take the OVER here today. Play OVER. |

Milwaukee and Miami begin their set here on Friday. The Brewers lost on Thursday at Philadelphia, 0-2, while the Marlins beat the Diamondbacks, 3-1. The Brewers have dropped to 2nd place in the NL Central, one game back of the Cardinals. Miami looks to get one game closer to the .500 mark here today as they sit at 14-16 and 4th in the NL East. The Brewers start Brent Suter for the first time this year. This is a bullpen start for manager Craig Counsell who says Friday is about the bullpen. So, don't expect Suter to be around long in this game, maybe three innings maximum. Suter has been very good out of the pen with a 2.70 ERA with 15 KO's in his 16.2 innings. The Marlins will counter with Trevor Rogers. Rogers is 3-2 in his six starts with a nifty 1.91 ERA and 1.061 WHIP. Rogers has held three of his opponents this year to no runs with two other getting two runs and the last three runs. Rogers has been very good for the fish and with the Brewers going to the pen out of the gate, I'm taking the host in this one. Play Miami. |

They also will send a struggling pitcher to the hill today in the form of Luis Castillo. Castillo is 1-2 in his five starts with a 6.29 ERA and 1.6-3 WHIP.

This series looks to be a good under series with these starting pitchers and very good pens. I had last night's game under and it got there even with the low 7.5 point total. Tonight I'm looking under again. The Dodgers are 6-15 O/U on the season while the Padres are 6-13 O/U. Two very good starters today as Yu Darvish starts for the Padres. Darvish has four starts and is 1-1 with a 2.55 ERA. He allowed four earned run in his opening game and since then only three total runs allowed over 20 innings of work. The Dodgers start veteran Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw is 3-1 after four starts with a nice 2.19 ERA and 0.973 WHIP. He's has 24 KO's and just three walks this year. In addition, he has not allowed an earned run over his last 12 innings. Look for another tight, low scoring game here tonight. Play UNDER. |

04-23-21 | A's -129 v. Orioles | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 46 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's are the hottest team in baseball, winning 11 straight games after starting the season 1-7, now sit at 12-7. The A's will face a Baltimore team that is 8-10 and coming off a Sunday loss. The A's will start Cole Irvin here today. Irvin is 1-2 after three starts with a 4.60 ERA. Irvin is coming off a very nice start against Detroit where he allowed just four hits and no runs for his first win. The O's will start Jorge Lopez today. Lopez is 1-2 after three starts with a 8.56 ERA and 1.317 WHIP. Hard not to back a red-hot A's team with the better pitcher on the mound today. Play Oakland. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Padres v. Dodgers UNDER 8 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 28 m | Show | |
The Padres hope their trip to LA turns out a bit better then their homestand against the Dodgers last week in which they won just a single game. Both these teams have been excellent under plays with the Padres having a 6-14 O/U record and the Dodgers at 6-12 O/U. This is in big part to excellent pitching staffs. The Pads start Ryan Weathers today. Weathers has just one start and he went 3 2/3 innings against the Dodgers with one hit and no runs. The Dodgers start Walker Buehler who has three starts with a 2.00 ERA and 1.000 WHIP. Both pitchers should hold well here today and turn over the ball to very good pens. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Marlins v. Giants UNDER 8.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
Miami Marlins look to get back to the .500 mark here today as they play at San Francisco. The Marlins are 8-9 on the season and have a 7-9-1 O/U mark. The Giants are 11-7 after losing their last game. The Giants allow just 3.3 rpg while averaging just 3.7 rpg. No wonder they have a 6-12 O/U mark on the season. Daniel Castano starts for the fish with a 0-0 record after just one start. He started against these Giants last week and went five innings allowing three hits and one run. Aaron Sanchez will toe the rubber today for the Giants. Sanchez is 0-1 after three starts but has a nifty 2.45 ERA. Both pitchers are decent and the Giants like low scoring games. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Yankees v. Indians -103 | 6-3 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
To say the Yankees fans are frustrated with their team is a big understatement. The Yankees are out to a paltry 6-11 mark and the offense has been less than stellar as they average just 3.5 runs per game. The Yankees haven't scored more than three runs in any of their last five games and seven of their last eight. Domingo German starts for the Yankees today. He's 0-2 after two starts with a 9.00 ERA and 2.000 WHIP. The Indians dropped back to .500 after a loss last time out. Aaron Civale starts for the Tribe. He has a 3-0 record after three starts with a nice 2.18 ERA and 0.726 WHIP. Big difference between these starters here today and with the Yankees not finding their way yet - I'll take the host here. Play Cleveland. |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Twins v. A's -108 | 12-13 | Win | 100 | 3 h 40 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Twins look to snap a 3-game losing streak here today at Oakland. The Twins have dropped to 6-10 on the season. They will start Kenta Maeda today who has three starts and a 1-1 record. Maeda has a 3.07 ERA and 1.705 WHIP. The A's are red hot, winning 10 straight games to improve to 11-7 on the season. Frankie Monta will start for the A's. Monta has a 2-1 record after three starts with a 4.91 ERA and 1.363 ERA. I will take the hot A's here tonight. Play Oakland. |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Giants v. Phillies UNDER 8.5 | 5-6 | Loss | -120 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
The Giants beat the Phillies on Tuesday to improve to 11-6 on the season. The Giants have also been a great under team this year with 12 of their 17 games going UNDER. That is in big part to an excellent pitching staff that has allowed just 2.9 runs per game. Anthony Desclafani has three starts for the Giants with a nifty 1.06 ERA and 1.059 WHIP. He's allowed just two earned runs over his last 17 innings. The Phillies dropped to 8-9 with their loss on Tuesday. The Phils send Zach Eflin to the hill today. Eflin has three starts and is 1-0 with a 3.15 ERA and 0.950 WHIP. I like this game to go under here early on Wednesday. Take UNDER. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Brewers +102 v. Padres | 6-0 | Win | 102 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Brewers beat the Padres on Monday night and that lifted their record to 9-7 on the season. The Brewers have had excellent pitching, allowing just 3.3 runs per game. They have a excellent pitcher toeing the rubber here today in Corbin Burnes. Burns has a 1-1 record after three starts with a 0.49 ERA. He allowed one run in his opening start and since then no runs over his last 12 innings with just three hits, 19 KO's and no walks. The Padres of have slipped of late after losing two of three to the Dodgers and then opening with a loss in this series. They have dropped to 10-8, but also have a excellent pitching staff which allows just 3.3 runs per game. Chris Paddock starts tonight for the Pads with a 1-1 record after three starts and a 4.15 ERA. I really like the Brewers pitcher who has been amazing with his control and just not giving up runs. Play Milwaukee. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Blue Jays -101 v. Red Sox | 2-4 | Loss | -101 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
Toronto Blue Jays look to get back to the .500 mark as they have dropped to 7-9 after losing two straight games. The Jays are only averaging 4.1 runs per game but they are allowing just 3.6 rpg. Hyun-Jin Ryu gets the start for the Jays today. Ryu has a nifty 1.89 ERA over his first three starts. He's allowed just four total runs and none in his last start. Eduardo Rodriquez starts for the Red Sox. Rodriquez has two starts and is 2-0 with a 3.60 ERA. Two good pitchers, but I favor Ryu in this matchup. Play Toronto. |
|||||||
04-19-21 | Dodgers v. Mariners OVER 8 | 3-4 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
Despite losing on Sunday to the Padres, the Dodgers still have the best record in baseball at 13-3. Thanks in large part to their +38 run differential. The Dodgers have scored 90 runs in their 16 games, second only to the Cincinnati Reds. The Seattle Mariners have been a surprise thus far, as they lead the AL West with a 10-6 record. The M's have won seven of their last 10 games. All this despite giving up more runs then they have scored. Dustin May starts for the Dodgers today. He's 2-0 in his two starts with a 1.74 ERA. The M's will start Justus Sheffield who is 0-1 after his two starts. Sheffield has a 4.91 ERA. Might get ugly against this great hitting Dodgers team today for Sheffield. I'm going to play OVER. |
|||||||
04-18-21 | Astros v. Mariners OVER 9 | 2-7 | Push | 0 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Houston got back to the .500 mark at 7-7 after their win over Seattle on Saturday. They are 9-5 O/U thanks to an offense that averages 5.0 rpg. Jake Odorizzi hasn't pitched well for the Astros with a 0-1 record and 13.51 ERA with 2.102 WHIP. Seattle is 9-6 despite allowing more runs per game (4.7) then they score (4.2). Nick Margevicius starts today with a 0-0 record after one start. He went just 3 innings against the Orioles, allowing six hits and six runs. I'm taking the OVER between these teams today. Play OVER. |
|||||||
04-18-21 | Diamondbacks v. Nationals OVER 8.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
Two teams struggling out of the Game are the 5-10 Arizona Diamondbacks and the 5-7 Washington Nationals. The Diamondbacks have lost the first two games of this series. They allow a whopping 5.4 runs per game this year. The Nationals are scoring 3.7 RPG while allowing 4.7 RPG. Madison Bumgarner struggling for the D'backs after three starts. He has a 11.19 ERA and 2.195 WHIP and has allowed at least five runs in each start. Stephen Strasburg also struggling after two starts with a 6.30 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. He allowed seven earned runs in his last start at St Louis. Two poor pitchers and two teams allowing a lot of runs here. Play OVER. |
|||||||
04-17-21 | Orioles v. Rangers -134 | 6-1 | Loss | -134 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
Both these teams come into today's contest with 6-8 records, with Baltimore winning on Friday over the Rangers to take game 1 of this series. These teams are pretty even, both averaging 4.1 rpg and just .2 rpg separating what they allow. Difference here today are starters. The O's have Dean Kremer on the hill for his third start. He's 0-1 with a 10.50 ERA, allowing seven runs over just six innings. Conversely, Dane Dunning has been very good in his two starts for the Rangers, allowing just one run over his nine innings of work for a 1-0 record. I like Dunning here today. Play the Texas Rangers. |
|||||||
04-17-21 | Braves -114 v. Cubs | 4-13 | Loss | -114 | 2 h 30 m | Show | |
The Chicago Cubs have not had this bad a hitting team in over a century, as the club just can't seem to do much right. Despite that, they somehow have five wins to go with their eight loss. They have lost two straight games scoring just two total runs and allowing 12 runs. The Cubs have scored more than three runs just one time (4 runs) since April 5th. The Braves have won two straight games, improving to 8-6 on the season. They will start Huascar Ynoa today. Ynoa has two very good starts under his belt, allowing just one total run over 11 innings with 15 KO's and just two walks. Can't say the same for Cubs' starter Trevor Williams. Williams is 1-1 but has allowed seven runs over 9 1/3 innings (6.75 ETA) and has a 1.715 WHIP. Can't play the Cubs the way they are hitting and with today's starter. Take Atlanta. |
|||||||
04-17-21 | Blue Jays v. Royals UNDER 7.5 | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
Game one of a doubleheader here on Saturday between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Kansas City Royals. The Blue Jays are 6-7 on the season after Friday's loss to the Royals. They will send Dylan Cease to the hill today. Cease has pitched well with a 3.85 ERA over his two starts, but has no record to show for it. The Kansas City Royals are 4-6-1 O/U on the season and today they will send Mike Minor to the hill. Minor is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. Minor is coming off a 4 inning start at the White Sox, allowing just one run over his four innings. I like this game to go UNDER here today, keeping in mind that the game is 7 innings and not nine. |
|||||||
04-16-21 | Dodgers v. Padres UNDER 8 | 11-6 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
The NL West showdown we've been waiting for is here as the 11-2 LA Dodgers take on the 9-5 San Diego Padres. Yes, it's early in the season, but this should be an excellent series. Both teams getting excellent pitching as the Dodgers allow just 3.2 rpg and the Padres 2.9 rpg. The Dodgers will start Walker Buehler tonight. He's 1-0 after two starts with a nifty 1.50 ERA and 0.8333 WHIP. The Padres counter with first time starter Ryan Weathers. For me, I'm looking at a pitchers series here and tonight I'll start with the UNDER |
|||||||
04-16-21 | Indians v. Reds -115 | 3-10 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
Interleague Rivalry game here as the Reds host the Indians in a battle for Ohio. Both teams with identical 7-5 records, though the Indians come into this game off a win over the White Sox while the Reds dropped two straight to the Giants. Logan Allen starts for the Tribe with a 2.70 ERA after two starts and a 1-1 record. He has just eight KO's over 10 innings with five walks. The Reds start Jeff Hoffman who is 1-1 after two starts with a 3.86 ERA. Looks like a nice rivalry here tonight, but I give the edge to the Reds. Play Cincinnati. |
|||||||
04-14-21 | Cubs v. Brewers UNDER 7 | 0-7 | Push | 0 | 1 h 55 m | Show | |
Cubs looking to get back to the .500 mark as they sit at 5-6 on the season after beating the Brewers on Tuesday night. The Cubs offense has been anemic at best, averaging just 2.9 runs per game this season. They will have some help on the mound today as Jake Arrieta toes the rubber. Arrieta is 2-0 on the season with a nifty 2.25 ERA over his 12 innings of work. The 6-5 Brewers will turn to Corbin Burnes who is 0-1 on the season after two starts. Burnes has just a 0.73 ERA. He has worked 12 1/3 innings and allowed just one earned run and two total hits. Two very good pitchers on the hill today and for me, I'm going UNDER. |
|||||||
04-13-21 | Reds v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | 6-7 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
The Cincinnati Reds off to a good start with a 7-3 record. They are also coming off a win on Monday at San Francisco, 3-0. Luis Castillo makes the start here today for the Reds. Castillo has two starts with a 1-1 record. He had a rough start in game one, going just 3 1/3 innings against the Cardinals and allowing eight runs and eight hits. However, he bounced back nicely against the Pirates, allowing just four hits and no runs over seven innings of work. The Giants are 6-4 on the season and while they average just 3.1 runs per game, they have allowed just 2.9 runs per game. Kevin Gausman will start for the Giants for the third time this year. Gausman has not record, but he has pitched well with a 1.32 ERA over his 13 2/3 innings of work with 11 KO's and just three walks. I like this game to go under with two good pitchers on the hill. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
04-13-21 | Padres -1.5 v. Pirates | 4-8 | Loss | -135 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
The San Diego Padres living up to their preseason hype, winning eight games already this season against just three losses. The Padres have also won four straight games. Their pitching has been outstanding, allowing just 2.3 runs per game this season. The Pirates are not off to a good start, going just 3-7 on the season and coming off a loss. In addition, the pitching staff is allowing 5.5 runs per game while the offense is scoring just 3.6 runs per game. Blake Snell will make his third start for the Padres as he looks for his first win. Snell is pitching great, allowing just two runs over his 9 2/3 innings of work with 16 KO's and just 6 walks this season. Chad Kuhl also makes his third start for the Pirates with a 0-1 record. Kuhl has seven innings of work over two starts with just three hits and five earned runs for a 6.43 ERA. Padres just playing too good to not play them here. Price too high though, so I'll lay the 1.5 runs. Play San Diego -1.5 runs. |

04-13-21 | Red Sox +127 v. Twins | 4-2 | Win | 127 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
Red Sox started the season 0-3, but since have been on a six-game winning streak as they now sit at 6-3 on the season. The Twins have lost two straight games to drop to 5-4 on the season. Both teams scoring in bunches with the Sox averaging 6.4 runs per game and the Twins averaging 6.1 rpg. Martin Perez starts today for the Sox. He has no record after one start. Perez went five innings in his first start against the Rays, allowing three runs over five innings. J.A. Happ will start for the Twins. Happ went four innings in his one start vs Detroit, allowing just one run and three hits. Getting the Sox as a nice little dog here. I'll take the dog price with a red-hot Red Sox team. Play Boston. |

04-12-21 | Indians v. White Sox UNDER 8.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Cleveland Indians started slow out of the gate with a 1-3 record. However, four straight wins later and they sit at 5-3 on the season. They have also gone under in six of their eight games thanks to a pitching staff that's allowing just 2.8 runs per game this season. The White Sox dropped to 4-5 after losing on Sunday. They have also been a slight under team with five of their nine games going under. Triston McKenzie will make his first start of the season here for the Indians. The Sox will start Carlos Rodon. Rodon is 1-0 after going five inning against the Mariners in his opening game. He allowed no runs and just two hits over his five innings of work. I like this game to go UNDER tonight. |
|||||||
04-11-21 | Rockies v. Giants UNDER 8 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Colorado looks to snap a two-game losing streak here today at the Giants. The Rockies are just 3-6 on the season. They will turn to German Marquez today. Marquez is 0-0 in his two starts, and has a nice 3.60 ERA. He has allowed four total runs over 10 innings of work. The Giants are 5-3 on the season and have won three straight. They have gone under in six of their eight games this season. Anthony Desclafani makes his second start. He went a solid five innings in his first start vs the Padres, allowing four hits and one run. I look for both pitchers to do well here today and these teams to continue to be good under plays. Play UNDER. |

The Boston Red Sox look to extend their winning streak to five games here on Sunday after taking their game from the Orioles on Saturday, 6-4. The win improved the Sox to 5-3 on the season. Nick Pivetta will make his second start for the Sox. He went a solid five innings in his first start and allowing just two hits and not runs for the win over the Rays. The Orioles dropped to 4-4 after losing their last two games. They will start Jorge Lopez for the second time today. Lopez went 4 2/3 innings in his first start, allowing three hits and four runs in the loss to the Yankees. I'm going to stick with the hot Red Sox here today. Play Boston. |

Quintana makes his second start after going 3 1/3 innings in his first and allowing five hits and four runs against the Astros. Steven Matz also makes his second start for the Jays. Matz had a nice start in game one, going 6 1/3 innings and allowing just two hits and one run to the Rangers. I'll take Matz and the Jays here to snap their losing streak. |

04-10-21 | Yankees v. Rays +124 | 0-4 | Win | 124 | 2 h 44 m | Show | |
Both the Yankees and the Rays off to sub-par starts this season as both teams are 3-4 through their first seven games. The Yankees have lost two straight games heading into today. The Yankees will send Domingo German to the hill for the second time this year. German hopes to do better than his first start that went just 3-innings with four hits and three runs in a loss to the Jays. Tampa Bay will send Chris Archer to the hill for the first time this year. Close matchup here, but I'll take the Rays with Archer. |
|||||||
04-09-21 | A's v. Astros OVER 8.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Oakland not happy with their start to the season, winning just one of their first eight games. They have also given up a lot of runs, 7.4 rpg to be exact. Now they face a big hitting Houston team here today that is averaging 7.3 runs per game on offense. Sean Manaea gets his second start of the season. He went 4 2/3 innings in his first start vs the Astros, allowing five runs and two home runs. Lance McCullers Jr gets his second start for the Astros. He beat the A's in game two of the season, going five strong innings, allowing two hits and one run. Astros should get plenty of runs here today as this game goes OVER. |

04-08-21 | Brewers -133 v. Cardinals | 1-3 | Loss | -133 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Brewers are 3-3 to start the season and have won their last two games. They face the St Louis Cardinals who are 4-2 and have won three games in a row. The Brewers will start Corbin Burnes today. Burnes is 0-1 after his first start. He had an excellent game, going 6 1/3 innings against the Twins, allowing just one hit and one run to go with 11 Strike outs. St Louis starts Adam Wainwright. Unlike Burnes, Wainwright did not have a good first start. He went just 2 2/3 innings against the Reds, allowing 7 hits and six runs. Burnes pitched in bad luck in his first start and I'm going to back him here today against the Cards. Play Milwaukee. |
|||||||
04-07-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. A's | 3-4 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
LA Dodgers off to a very good start at 5-1 on the season. Can't say the same for the Oakland A's who are still looking for their first win of the season against six losses. Won't be any easier today for the A's as they face Dodger newcomer Trevor Bauer. Bauer came over from the Reds in the offseason and had an excellent first start for the Dodgers, going 6 1/3 innings with just three hits and four runs to get the win over Colorado. He struck out 10 and walked just two. Jesus Luzardo will try to get the A's in the win column today. Luzardo is 0-1 after one start. He went 5 innings vs the Astros, giving up eight hits and five runs in the loss. I'm going to take the Dodgers here today and lay the run and a half. Play LA -1 1/2 runs. |

04-06-21 | Mets v. Phillies +119 | 8-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Mets finally getting to play some games after having to sit through some Covid issues with the Nationals. They have played just one game and that was a loss yesterday to these Phillies, 3-5. Meanwhile, Philadelphia improved to 4-0 this season after their win over the Mets on Sunday. Now today they are a small dog at home against this Mets team that has just the one game played. I'll take the dog line here today. Play Philadelphia. |

St Louis off to a 2-2 start to their season while the Miami Marlins are 1-3. John Gant will make his first start of the season for the Cardinals. Sandy Alacantara will make his second start for the Marlins. Alacantara had an excellent first start against the Rays back on opening day. He went six innings and allowed just two hits and no runs in a no decision. I like Alacantara again here today. Play Miami. |
|||||||
04-04-21 | Cardinals -109 v. Reds | 1-12 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
St Louis and Cincinnati have split the first two games of this series. Carlos Martinez gets the start here today for the redbirds. Jeff Hoffman will counter for the Reds. The Reds took Saturday's contest, 9-6 after losing on Thursday, 6-11. This contest looks to be another high scoring affair, but for me I'm leaning toward the visitor in this one. Play St Louis. |
|||||||
04-04-21 | Braves v. Phillies +100 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 47 m | Show | |
Philly looking for the three-game sweep here today against Atlanta. The Phillies send Zach Eflin to the mound for his first start while the Braves look to get their first win with Ian Anderson on the hill. Philly took the first game back on Thursday, 3-2 and then shutout the Braves on Saturday, 4-0. The Braves offense looks to be a bit behind right now and for me that means I'll take Philly again here today. Play Philadelphia. |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Braves -112 v. Phillies | 0-4 | Loss | -112 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Both teams had Friday off, but return here today for game two of their series. The Braves tied the scored 2-2 late in game one, but lost in the 10th on a walk off base hit by the Phillies. The National League East champs from last year look to rebound here today at Philly. Braves pitcher Morton had a down year with Tampa Last year so he's looking for some redemption this year. I like the Braves to bounce back here today. Play Atlanta. |

04-02-21 | Rays -105 v. Marlins | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
A pair of Florida rivals meet here today on the 2nd day of the baseball season as the Tampa Bay Rays take on the Miami Marlins. The Rays will start Ryan Yarbrough. Glasnow got the start yesterday and went a strong six innings and allowed just one hit in the team's win over the Marlins. Yarbrough was 1-4 with a 3.56 ERA in his 11 games from 2020. The Marlins will start Pablo Lopez. Lopez was 6-4 with a 3.61 ERA in his 11 appearances in 2020. Line is basically a picke'm here, but I'll stick with the team from the West Coast. Play the Rays. |

04-01-21 | Rangers v. Royals UNDER 8.5 | 10-14 | Loss | -102 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
Kansas City had the best record in the Cactus League of Spring training with a 16-8 mark. They had one of the better run differentials in +24. One big loss though will be that of Adalberto Mondesi, their starting shortstop who will being the season on the IL with a oblique strain. Texas also had a decent spring training with a 14-12 record. They did have a negative run differential though at -6 runs. We can't put a lot of stock in preseason, but I won't be convinced their anemic hitting teams will do much until I see it for myself. I'll take UNDER here to start their season. |

10-27-20 | Rays +130 v. Dodgers | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 21 h 4 m | Show |
The Dodgers on the edge of winning their first World Series since 1988. They showed little effects of that horrid loss in game four with a bounce back to take game five and a 3-2 lead. Blake Snell will try to keep the Rays in the series tonight. Snell did well in his start against the Dodgers, going 4 2/3 innings and allowing two hits and two runs. Tony Gonsolin will start here tonight for the Dodgers. Gonsolin started against Snell in their last matchup with Gonsolin going just 1 1/3 innings, allowing one hit and one run. I have a big edge in starters here tonight to the Rays. Yet they are still a dog. I'll take that dog price. Play Tampa Bay. |

What a great game four in the World Series. Back and forth they went with each team taking leads multiple times. Then Jansen came in the 9th with the Dodgers leading 7-6 and of course with two outs and a 1-2 count on Phillips he gave up the hit to tie the game and a subsequent error allowed the winning run to score. Why HC Dave Roberts continues to use Jansen in situations like this I have no idea. With all the young, strong arms he had available he had to go to Jansen. Well, it cost you Dave and maybe the World Series and possibly your job if you lose. For me, this was a huge let down for the Dodgers and that might just carry over to today's game. The Rays have their ace in Glasnow going and Kershaw has been excellent, but it is the playoffs. I'm taking the nice dog price with the Rays who should be pumped up here today. Play Tampa Bay. |

The Dodgers have been flexing their offensive muscles in this series. Mookie Betts is paying dividends in his first year as he continues to be Mr Everything for the Dodgers. LA can take a 3-1 lead in the series with a win tonight. The Rays offensive struggles continued again last night. They did break out in game two with a big night, but that has been far and few between for the Rays. The Dodgers pitching staff has been just as good if not better than the Rays. I don't see the Rays being able to keep these Dodgers bats down. I'm going to lay the Run Line here tonight with the Dodgers. |
