! Miami at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Marlins over Reds- At first sight I am trying to figure how a team that has lost four straight, six of seven and 16 of their last 20 since the All-Star break. They had the second best record in the NL at the break and are now a half game out of thee wild card berth. Now, looking at what Cincinnati is doing we can see why the Marlins may be favored. The Reds have lost six straight for the third time this season and will start lefty Brandon Williamson (3-2. 4.85 ERA) who was called up from Triple-A for the second time this year. Rookie Eury Perez (5-3, 2.36) called up from Double-A and he is favored on road. Take MIAMI! |

08-04-23 | Toronto v. Calgary +9 | 7-20 | Win | 100 | 20 h 39 m | Show | |
Toronto at Calgary 9:00 ET Stampeders (+) over Argonauts- When looking at the overall stats of these two clubs we can see that there isn’t much of a difference and then when you see their records and wonder why. Toronto is 6-0 and for good reason although their defense is ranked 7th in overall yards surrendered they are No. 1 in turnover with a +14 while their offense ranked No. 4 has yet to commit a turnover. That’s it in a nutshell! Calgary has dropped their last two games at Montreal and an OT home loss to Ottawa. The Argos are the defending Grey Cub Champions and are 6-0 ATS with five wins coming by 12 points or more and we understand how dominate they have been but I don’t expect them to go undefeated...Take CALGARY! |

British Columbia at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-) over Lions- These two are without a doubt the top two best teams in the CFL and their team stats bear that out. BC who posted an impressive 3006 win at Winnipeg in the first meeting on June 22 the second week of the season, their only blemish this season came the following week at Toronto falling 45-24. Winnipeg has the No. 1 offense averaging 390 YPG and their defense is ranked No. 3 allowing 341 YPG. not, to be out done the Lions have CFL No. 1 defense allowing just 281 YPG and thr no. 2 offense averaging 389 YPG. The problem for BC is that will be against a team bent on revenge and they will be using their back-up quarterback while th Blue Bombers have two-time MVP Zack Collaros who was held to 191 yards in the first meeting has thrown for over 300 yards in his last two. Revenge and a better QB... Take WINNIPEG! |

Tampa Bay at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Rays over Yankees- After Aaron Boone removed Gerrit Cole (9-2, 2.64 ERA) from the biggest game of the season for the Yankees against Baltimore in a 0-0 game in the seventh inning it became obvious they were not playing to win. Removing your ac in the biggest game of the season when he has yet to surrender a run and only three hits took the heart out of New York as the Orioles promptly scored a 1-0 victory. Tampa bay who plays to win will send Shane McClanahan (11-1, 3.00) to the mound and the Yanks are just what he needs as he has gone five starts without a win. He get it here. Take TAMPA BAY! |

08-01-23 | Rays v. Yankees -104 | 5-2 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at New York Yankees 7:10 ET Yankees over Rays- It is not that I think that the Yankees can make a run for the playoffs but more like ‘we’ have lost all confidence in the Rays. Surely, the Yankees are a much better team with Aaron Judge in the line-up ( sort of validates his MVP over Ohtani who has yet to even make the playoffs) and he has been as productive as ever since his return from the IL. The slip-sliding away Rays will send Zach Eflin (11-6, 3.64 ERA) to the mound and he has already tied his career high in victories and is 2-0 over New York with a win coming in May when he allowed four runs in six innings. Carlos Rodon (1-3, 5.75) makes just his fifth start an is coming off a win over the Mets allowing only one run in 5.2 innings with four hits. Judge actually is the difference when it comes to this Yanks lineup. Take NEW YORK YANKEES! |

07-31-23 | Reds v. Cubs -116 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Chicago Cubs 8:05 ET Cubs over Reds- Having played against the Cubs Sunday posting St. Louis 3-0 as ‘our’ Megabucks winner, I feel very comfortable coming back with Chicago behind Marcus Stroman (10-7, 3.51 ERA). He has lost three of his last four decisions and was pounded by the White Sox last time out. This will be his last showing before the trade deadline expires and who know how it will affect him, but he is still amid his best season as a 10-year pro. The Cubs should bounce back today against the Reds Andrew Abbott (6-2, 1.90) whose numbers are off the charts with 66 K’s, in 61 innings with just 40 hits... but this is just one of those things. Take CUBS! |

Baltimore at Toronto 7:05 ET Blue Jays over Orioles- Baltimore continues to lead the AL and had stood up to almost every challenge so far this season and have maintained their lead over Tampa Bay. Tonight they will start Tyler Gibson (9-6, 4.68 ERA) who has had great support from his mates in order to win nine games this season as he never completely shutdown his opposition. Toronto is currently occupy a wild card spot and trail the Orange-Birds by 5.5 for the top spot and are 2.5-games ahead of Boston. Chris Bassitt (10-5, 3.81) get the nod for the Blue Jays and he is 4-1 in his last five decisions with the loss coming at Baltimore where he was shelled for eight runs and 11 hits in three innings. Looking to atone, tonight he shuts down the O’s. Take TORONTO! |

Philadelphia at Miami 6:40 ET Marlins over Phillies- Big showdown in the NL East (if you can say that this early) as the playoff bound Miami Marlins who hold that spot by a half-game over tonight’s guest the Philadelphia Phillies. The Fish have had a bad run since the All-Star break while the Phillies have not taken full advantage. Philly’s Taijuan Walker (11-4, 4.06 ERA) has been stellar for the most part but has surrendered 12 runs in his last four starts covering 24 innings. The Marlins (5-6, 4.74) and he is difficult to hit despite his record striking out 90 in 74 innings while giving up just 59 hits. I like MIAMI! |

Chicago Cubs at St. Louis 2:10 ET Cardinals over Cubs- So here we are with the Cubs starting to show some life and have won eight-in-a-row and have put themselves into the playoff picture. Chicago will be up against their biggest rival the disappointing Cardinals who still have the will to rise up and be a problem for the Cubs. It seems a bit odd that St. Louis would be favored here especially when Steven Matz (1-7, 4.34 ERA) who has a history of blowing up and he will be opposed by Kyle Hendericks (4-4, 3.45) who is one of the NL’s toughest pitchers to hit. Odds-makers like the Cardinals therefore so do I. Take ST. LOUIS! |

Tampa Bay at Houston 2:20 ET Rays over Astros- The Rays are in a virtual free fall and were crushed yesterday by Houston 17-4 and they seem to have lost their early season mojo. Houston is chasing Texas and has been making a move after the All-Star Game and comes up a pick’em at home and that price tells me that Tampa Bay even with Zack Littell (0-2, 5.11 ERA) getting the start. Houston will send Brandon Bielak (5-5, 3.62) to the hill and he was bombed by Texas Monday night and I expect more of the same tonight. Take TAMPA BAY! |

As of this moment the three highest payrolls in MLB are currently outside to cut line for the playoffs as the Mets, Padres and Yankees all have been major disappointments. New York right-hander Clarke Schmidt (6-6, 4.33 ER) has won four straight decisions in his last eight starts. One of his prior losses was to the Orioles and is 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA in eight career games.Baltimore will start Tyler Wells (7-5, 4.33) and he 0-4 with a 4.95 ERA career against the Yankees.

This time out San Francisco will send out Logan Webb (8-8,3.48 ERA) and he is looking to atone for his performance Saturday when he was whacked by Washington and previous to that he had won 4-of-5. Boston and SF are a half game apart record wise but the Red Sox are 1.5-games out of the wild card spot while the Giants are resting in the NL final spot. Kutter Crawford (4-5, 4.04) get the start for Boston and he has been more effective on the road this season but that silliness end here. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

The starters of course are for Cleveland Tanner Bibee (6-2, 3.04 ERA ) whose name I just love and who’s pitching has been better than anyone expected. Now, for Chicago it will be Dylan Cease (4-3, 4.04) and he has been absolutely outstanding in his limited action but virtually un-hit-able. I know that I vowed to stay away from the White Sox because we don’t want to bet garbage, but some times the call is to wild to ignore...Take CHICAGO WHITE SOX! |

I was looking forward the playing against New York’s Maz Scherzer (8-3, 3.99 ERA) who can be had with this club behind him. Boston’s veteran lefty James Paxton (5-2. 3.51) is on the mound for the Sawx and he’s allowing just 44 hits in 60 innings...take BOSTON! |

It is no different for the Giants who have won seven straight and will send Ross Stripping (0-2, 6.11 ERA) against the Reds who have lost six straight.

New York is 2-7 in their last nine games and are headed south and will turn to Domingo German (5-5, 4.43 ERA) to stem the tide. Los Angeles had lost 7 of 8 before their 4-3 win over the Stankees Monday in extra innings.

San Diego at Toronto 7:15 ET Padres over Blue Jays- Some interesting stats surrounding the most over-paid and over-rated team in all of baseball. San Diego is eight games behind the final layoff spot and has lost more one-run games than any other MLB club and are the only team without an extra inning victory. Joe Musgrove (8-2, 3.29 ERA) has emerged as the Padres ace and he is 7-0 with a 1.79 ERA in his last nine starts allowing only one run in six of those starts. Toronto will start Alex Manoha (2-7, 5.91) who has had a nightmare season and was send down to A-ball to straighten his head out. Tonight we will see if that helped...I don’t think so.

New York Yankees at LA Angels 7:10 ET Angels over Yankees- I have been yelling about it for three months and it is that these Yankees are not a playoff team and it has more to do with the ball they play than their record. Now, the Angels most likely are not a playoff team but their expectations are not the same as New York’s aspirations. LA will send Griffin Canning (6-4, 4.62 ERA) and he is off two poor outing surrendering nine runs in eight innings suffering losses in both games. But, not many suffered more than the Yankees and their starter Luis Severino (1-4, 7.38) who lost his last two starts giving up 14 runs in just 6.1 innings while allowing 58 hits and 40 runs in only 47 innings pitched on the season. He has been so bad the Yankees will test him tonight before pulling him from the rotation. Take LA ANGELS! |

Tampa Bay will welcome back their Cy Young entree Shane McClanahan (11-1, 2.53) who will be making his first start since June 30 and he posted a 7-3 win over Texas on June 11.

In last years post season he was 2-0 giving up just two hits in 13 innings with 16 strikeouts. LA will counter with Tyler Anderson (4-2, 5.25) was 15-5 with the Dodgers last year losing his last four starts and another in the playoffs.

Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets 2:10 ET Mets over Dodgers- What kind of fool am I...(if I could only sing it to you) but backing the Mets has you down $2,300 at 100 units per game this season. LA has already taken the first two games of this 3-game set and New York is currently 20-games behind Atlanta a team they tied with 101 wins last season. The Dodgers will start another of their young strong arms in former No. 1 draft pick and 24-year old rookie Bobby Miller (5-1, 4.50 ERA). He busted on the scene with three straight wins allowing just two runs in his first 24 MLB innings and then reality set in and he gave up20 runs in 21 inning but still recorded two wins as the Dodgers scored 23 runs in his last three starts. Woeful New York will send their best Max Scherzer (8-3, 4.31) looking to savage the final game of the series and he has 101 K’s in just 83 innings but has surrendered 18 home runs. If the Mets haven’t given up on the season they should be all in behind Scherzer as he has gives them their best chance to win. The NEW YORK METS! |

Milwaukee at Cincinnati 1:40 ET Brewers over Reds- Milwaukee hurlers have thrown three straight shutouts and the last two were Friday and Saturday in Cincinnati. It looks like the All-Star break did no favors for the Reds as they have had just three hits in their two games and a funk seems to have taken over this very young, talented and cocky club. It is something that comes over a team and no one seems to get what’s going on. This is a team to bet against and I don’t care who pitches for either side (what’s the difference they yank pitchers in the third inning for no reason anyway). I can tell you right now if the Brewers win here we will play against Cincy until they win. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Considering that Paton has had one one win the past two seasons with a combined ERA of 6.70 the Red Sox has pleased with his limited appearances. Chicago will send out Marcus Stroman (9-6, 2.96) who has seven straight wins in seven starts prior to has last three starts (0-2, 8.57).

San Diego has the momentum and have now won six of seven while Philadelphia has turned in on and won 23 of their last 32 including an amazing 12-game road winning streak. Snell has pitched better than his record would indicate surrendering on 71 hits in 98 innings but received little support. This time around he gets it...take SAN DIEGO! |

Milwaukee just took 2-of-3 from the Reds before the break with Cincinnati winning when Elly De La Cruz took control and made the Brewers look foolish by stealing second base and third base when no one covered the bag because of an infield shift an he raced home as the pitcher and catcher left the home plate area and Cruz beat them to home plate. Three steals on two pitches. Brewers will be more aware this time around and with Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes (7-5, 3.94 ERA) take the mound and he is 3-1 with a 2.80 ERA against the Reds.

LA won 111 games last year a franchise record while New York won 101 game last season and tied with Atlanta. This season both are off pace with the Mets 18.5 games behind the Braves while LA just moved ahead of Arizona by one game before the break.

Hamilton at Edmonton 7:00 ET Tiger-Cats (-) over Elks- Last week I mentioned how the low end of the CFL are real dregs and this week you can see what I mean when the two worst and I mean the absolute worst in this league will meet. A close friend once said when speaking of an ugly match-up ‘there’s got to be a winner.’ So, here we are with the worse of two bad clubs so to speak or between a rock and a hard place...Okay enough of that, But, the Elks are truly terrible and average a league low 285 YPG on offense and their defense is also last allowing nearly 400 YPG. Now, Hamilton is not that much better but did post their first win last time out while the Elks gave away a game allowing three scores in the final 1:04. Win-less at home and an underdog looks tempting but I can’t do it. I expect a lot of company with the side an I usually don’t want it but...but...take HAMILTON! |

After a slow start and shaking off an injury lefty Jordan Montgomery (6-7, 3.28 ERA) is 4-1 with a 1.66 ERA in his last even starts and 2-0 with a 2.22 ERA in four career starts against the White Sox.

Atlanta at Tampa Bay 6:40 ET Rays over Braves- After all the attention paid to Tampa Bay and their fast getaway from the onset of the season it is Atlanta that brings the best record in MB action into the final series before the All-star break. The Braves are sending old reliable veteran Charlie Morton (8-6, 3.57 ERA) to the hill and he pitched the Rays into the World Series four years ago but he is just 2-3 with a 3.44 ERA against his former mates. Tampa will counter with Tyler Glasnow (2-2, 4.50) who has 56 strikeouts in just 36 innings of limited work. Both clubs have great trends to support their sides because well they are the two best teams in baseball. This one goes to TAMPA BAY! |

NY Mets at Arizona 9:40 ET Mets over D’backs-’ Break-up the Mets’...after 4-straight wins (a season high) the Metropolitan s are feeling good about themselves after a June that may have pushed them out of the playoff race in which the trail by 8-games and they must climb over six teams who are currently ahead of them. But, ‘mojo’ and karma are things that can and do happen during a long, long 162-game season. Entering his third season with New York right-hander Carlos Carrasco (2-3, 5.94 ERA) is off a 15-7 year in 2022 and is looking to recapture some of that magic. Arizona will send Ryan Nelson (5-4, 4.67) to the hill and he has had two straight great performances allowing the Angels and Giants only three hits each in seven plus innings. The Mets are 21-7 in the last 28 meetings. Take the NEW YORK M-E-T-S! |

Edmonton at Saskatchewan 9:00 ET Roughriders (-) over Elks- You know with the CFL being a nine-team league and comprised for the most part of players that have reached their ‘Peter Principle’ level and it is mediocre at best and at worst you have Edmonton 0-4 SU, 0-4 ATS. When CFL teams are bad thy are very bad and teams have gone win-less and have had one-win seasons. The Elks were 4-14 last season off a three-win season the year before. Last year they surrendered 599 points and the year before they scored just 246 going 3-11. Edmonton is at the bottom of the CFL on offense averaging just 265 YPG and are eighth of nine teams on defense allowing 402 YPG. The Roughriders are No. 2 on offense gaining 403 PPG and that should be enough. Lay-it take SASKATCHEWAN! |

Baltimore at NY Yankees 7:05 ET Orioles over Yankees- Something just does not seem right with New York being an underdog at home with Luis Severino (1-3, 6.30 ERA) taking the mound. The odds makers have decided that Kyle Brandish (4-4, 3.58) should be the favorite and who am I to argue with those guys. When adds to the mystery is that Severino has won six straight against the Orioles and is 7-1 with a 3.39 career ERA. Something just not right. Take BALTIMORE! |

Cincinnati at Washington 1:05 ET Nationals over Reds- This is tough to do as Cincinnati has become one of the most exciting teams in baseball with a core of young talent led by headline make Elly De La Cruz. The red-hot Reds have won 13 of 14 and are looking for a 4-game sweep of Washington who is 1-13 in their last 14 home games. Cincy will start rookie left-hander Brandon Williamson (1-2, 5.56 ERA) and the Nationals should be able to make solid contact at the plate with his 1.47 WHIP. The Nats will start lefty Mackenzie Gore (4-7, 4.48) who is off his worst outing of the year. He rebounds here as do his mates. Take WASHINGTON! |

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee 8;10 ET Cubs over Brewers- Okay, let me look at this objectively. Chicago, the Cubs are six-games under .500 and are visiting Milwaukee who is ix-games over .500 and the Cubbies are prohibited favorites. The reason for the heavy Vegas attitude is Justin Steele (9-2, 2.43 ERA) the Cubs starter has surrendered just 69 hits (only 3 homers) in 86 innings. For Milwaukee it will be Adrian Houser (3-2, 3.88) who has given up 56 hits in just 46 innings allowing five home runs. Cubs 5-1 on road in last six...take CUBS! |

Okay, that really has no baring on Shohei Ohtani (7-3, 3.02 ERA) and 12 strikeout per nine innings starts for the Angels. LA who appears to a real contender but once again must be playing without the ‘greatest’ player who never won anything ‘Mickey’ Trout who is begging out now that the Angels have a chance. Padres the biggest underachievers in baseball will send Joe Musgrove (6-2, 3.80) to the hill and he is 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA against LA who has lost five of six games. Take SAN DIEGO! |

British Columbia at Toronto 7:10 ET Lions (-) over Argonauts- The defending and undefeated Grey Cup Champion Toronto Argonauts are at home and are a field goal underdog at home. This might seem a bit odd and it is other than the Lions are 3-0 and have had three impressive dominating wins. Toronto has a five-yard average offensive advantage but, the BC defense hold a 115-yard per game advantage and that is significant. The Argo’s will rely on a strong run and and stout defense against the run but fall short on both sides of the ball when it is put in the air. Take BRITISH COLUMBIA! |

St. Louis at Miami 6:10 ET Cardinals over Marlins- When St. Louis was 10-24 I was thinking now is the time to watch for a spark that would send them on a hot streak and they haven’t received it yet as they picked up just one-game in 50 games since. Hey, but beating the Yankees with a revenue pitcher on the mound might have them headed in the right direction. One who definitely is headed in the wrong direction is today's starter for the Cardinals Miles Mikolas (4-5, 4.44 ERA) allowing five or more runs in three of his last four starts. But, he is 3-1 with a 272 ERA in eight appearances against Miami. The Marlins as usual come up with arms and have another one on the hill today in Braxton Garrett (4-2, 3.53) who has a 1.98 ERA in his last nine starts covering 50 innings, but he is just 0-1 with a 7.00 ERA against he Cardinals allowing14 hits in nine innings.

Seattle is strong favorites here as Luis Castillo (5-6, 2.86 ERA) takes the hill and it is about time he received the support that he has earned. He just broke a 4-game personal losing streak where he had six starts and did not surrender three runs but once and had six quality starts. Tampa Bay has cooled off some and pitching could hamper their efforts. Tai Bradley (5-4, 4.58) has been inconsistent and gave up seven runs in four innings against Arizona last time out.

Except for a few strong arms (which is always a vital factor in winning) they have weak hitting or lack of hitting club, They have little speed and only Judge and Stanton hit for power and they are both sidelined more than in action. Geritt Cole (8-1, 2.78 ERA) is having one of his best seasons but he is up against a huge physiological disadvantage. Jordan Montgomery (5-7, 3.52) had his world and that of his Yankees teammates all shook-up when he for some unknown reason was traded for an injured outfielder. The upset the Yankees karma and they haven’t felt the unity needed since. Revenge is sweet...take ST. LOUIS! |

Minnesota at Baltimore 8:10 ET Twins over Orioles- it seems a bit odd to me that this game should open a pick-em as the Orioles seem to have such a huge advantage. To start with they are at home which means the Twins who lead the AL Central and are 2-games under .500 are 17-23 on the road. Minnesota will sent Pablo Lopez (3-5, 4.41 ERA) to the hill looking to upset Dean Kramer (8-3, 4.50) who lost his only start against the Twins surrendering five runs in four innings. I expect much of the same today. Take MINNESOTA! |
