Phillies ML Probable Pitchers: PHI - Z. Wheeler-R vs MIA - S. Alcantara-R On Friday we have a nice NL betting matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (47-39, 25-23 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Miami Marlins (51-38, 28-17 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Zack Wheeler (7-4, 4.03 ERA, 112 SO) taking on Sandy Alcantara. (3-7, 4.93 ERA, 89 SO) Philadelphia comes in with all the confidence right now. The Phils swept the Rays in a marquee matchup this week, dominating in almost every which way. Now, they turn their attention to the Marlins, who come in off a loss to the Cardinals on Thursday. the Marlins aren't going to overpower anyone. That is where the Phillies can take advantage here. The Phillies tend to score in bunches and can really put up runs quickly. This offense is clicking on all cylinders and Alcantara just hasn't been the same pitcher he once was. His struggles stem from his changeup and he's had a lot of command issues. Philadelphia should put a lot of traffic on the bases here. Some trends to note, the Phillies are 6-0 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning record, are 10-1 in their last 11 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and they're 14-2 in their last 16 road games. On the other side the Marlins are 1-5 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning record, and are 5-11 in the L16 vs. Phili. Back the Phils on the ML, they're 5-1 in the L6 vs. MIA.

Tampa Bay ML On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (45-39, 23-23 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Tampa Bay Rays (57-31, 34-11 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Taijuan Walker (9-3, 3.93 ERA, 77 SO) taking on Zack Littell. (0-0, 10.13 ERA, 5 SO) The Rays have value here at this price. They sit with one of the best home records in the league and they have rarely allowed losses to pile up here. They typically have bounced back with their ability to get timely hits. The Rays are one of the best clutch teams in the MLB and they've continued to come with big hits. Some trends to note. Rays are 6-0 in their last 6 Wednesday games. Rays are 41-15 in their last 56 vs. National League East. Rays are 52-19 in their last 71 home games. Back Tampa Bay. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

Davies-R On July 4th we have a nice NL betting matchup between the NY Mets (38-46, 18-27 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (37-46, 18-21 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Max Scherzer (7-2, 3.87 ERA, 85 SO) taking on Zach Davies. (1-4, 6.54 ERA, 33 SO) Zach Davies has been an ultimate fade this year. The RH comes in just 1-4 with a near 7 ERA entering Tuesday's game. Over his last 3 starts, he sits 0-2 with an ERA of 8.59. He's struggled with his command and is constantly dealing with traffic on the bases. Scherzer allowed 2 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks while striking out 9 batters over 6 innings vs. Milwaukee Thursday. He's a late starter add for July 4th. Senga was initially in the order. Senga will now start tomorrow. Some trends to note, the Diamondbacks are 5-2 in their last 7 games following a loss, are 3-7 in their last 10 home games vs. a right-handed starter, and finally, they're 1-4 in their last 5 home games with the total set at 9-10.5.

07-03-23 | Reds -121 v. Nationals | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
Reds -121 Probable Pitchers: CIN - L. Weaver-R vs WAS - J. Irvin-R Did you know the Reds have won Luke Weavers L5 starts? We're banking on another one on Monday. Last game out Weaver did not factor into the decision allowing 4 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks over 4.1 innings in an 11-7 W vs. the O's. He struck out 2 as well in that one. For the Nats Irvin has been nothing special in 2023. He allowed 3 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4 over 5.2 innings to take a no-decision last game out. He's now winless in 8 starts, and he a mediocre 4.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:25 K:BB through 47.2 innings across 10 starts. Some trends to note, the Reds are 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a losing record, and are 11-2 in their last 13 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Lastly, the Reds are 5-1 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series. On the other side the Nationals are 1-8 in their last 9 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

07-02-23 | Diamondbacks v. Angels +100 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Angels ML Probable Pitchers: ARI - Z. Gallen-R vs LAA - R. Detmers-L To say Detmers has been "in the zone" of late would be an understatement. Last game out he allowed 1run on 2 hits and 2 walks while striking out 10 over 7 innings in a no-decision. He's in the zone, registering a 1.05 ERA and 34:8 K:BB over 25.2 frames in his last 4 starts. Some trends to note, Diamondbacks are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings, and are 24-50 in their last 74 road games vs. a left-handed starter. On the other side the Angels are 12-5 in their last 17 games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Look for the Angels to play some really nice ball on Sunday behind Detmers, a pitcher they're starting to have more and more confidence in each and every game he's on the bump.

Baltimore -133 On Saturday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Minnesota Twins (40-42, 17-23 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Baltimore Orioles (48-31, 25-16 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Bailey Ober (4-4, 2.97 ERA, 66 SO) taking on Kyle Bradish. (4-3, 3.75 ERA, 67 SO) Minnesota Leads 8-0 Friday night as this is being typed. We're taking Baltimore to bounce back from what looks to be a blowout loss on Friday night. The O's have rarely let home losses pile up and they send out Bradish, who has been dependable in this rotation. The RH has allowed more than 3 runs just 1 time over his last 10 outings as he has consistently given Baltimore chances to win. Some trends to note. Orioles are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. American League Central. Orioles are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing record. Orioles are 17-8 in their last 25 vs. a team with a losing record. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB ML Play |

Orioles ML Probable Pitchers: MIN - P. Lopez-R vs BAL - D. Kremer-R On Friday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Minnesota Twins (40-42, 17-23 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Baltimore Orioles (48-31, 25-16 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Pablo Lopez (3-5, 4.41 ERA, 120 SO) taking on Dean Kremer. (8-3, 4.50 ERA, 77 SO) Coming off a 3-game sweep at the hands of the Braves I'm just not sure I have any faith left in this Twins team in 2023. It feels like they've hit a low point doesn't it? Too pile on, Lopez is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in his past 2 starts. Last game out he gave up 3 runs on 7 hits and a walk while striking out 10 over 6 innings, taking the loss vs. the Tigers. On the other side Kremer didn't play a role in the outcome on Saturday, but he delivered a solid performance. He pitched 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits and 1 walk in a 6-4 W over Seattle. He recorded 5 K's. This was his third quality start in his last 5 games, and his ERA is slowly dropping. Also, after finding out the ALL-Star starters Thursday the O's could have a chip on their shoulder as their all-world catcher Rutschman was denied a spot. Some trends to note, the Twins are 1-6 in their last 7 games following an off day, are 1-4 in their last 5 overall, and are 7-19 in their last 26 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. On the other side the O's LOVE playing on Friday's. They're 20-7 in their last 27 Friday games. The Orioles are 24-10 in their last 34 games following a loss, lastly they're 14-6 in their last 20 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Play the O's ML on Friday.

Bello-R On Thursday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Miami Marlins (47-34, 22-18 on the road, and 7-3 L10) and the Boston Red Sox (40-41, 21-20 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Jesus Luzardo (6-5, 3.77 ERA, 103 SO) taking on Brayan Bello. (5-4, 3.27 ERA, 62 SO) Brayan Bello has been a big surprise in this rotation here in 2023. He comes in with 5 wins and has a solid ERA to go along with his wins. Over his last 10 starts, he has not allowed more than 3 runs in the process. Boston should have some success against Luzardo here too. He has a 5+ ERA on the road this year, as he has been a completely different pitcher one the road versus in Miami. Some trends to note, the Marlins are 17-41 in their last 58 vs. AL East, and are 2-5 in their last 7 interleague road games vs. a team with a losing record. On the other side the Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record, are 20-7 in their last 27 home games vs. a left-handed starter, and are 16-5 in the last 21 head to head vs. the Marlins.

Angels ML Probable Pitchers: CWS - L. Lynn-R vs LAA - P. Sandoval-L On Thursday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Chicago White Sox (35-47, 15-27 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the LA Angels (44-38, 22-17 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Lance Lynn (4-8, 6.40 ERA, 109 SO) taking on Patrick Sandoval. (4-6, 4.16 ERA, 57 SO) This is a nice spot to fade the White Sox. They are 12 games under the .500 mark on the road and after their win on Wednesday night in LA, it's been rare for them to grab back to back wins away from home. Lance Lynn has also been a nice fade. With 8 losses and 6.40 ERA, he's had very little consistency. Patrick Sandoval counters and he's allowed just 3 runs combined over his last 2 starts. Some trends to note, the White Sox are 1-6 in their last 7 games following a win, and are 0-7 in their last 7 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. On the other side the Angels are 6-0 in their last 6 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game, are 6-2 in their last 8 games following a loss, and are 12-4 in their last 16 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Barria-R On Wednesday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Chicago White Sox (34-47, 14-27 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the LA Angels (44-37, 22-16 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Lucas Giolito (5-5, 3.41 ERA, 99 SO) taking on Jaime Barria. (2-2, 2.14 ERA, 40 SO) The Angels have value here on the ML. Mike Moustakas was traded to LA and made an immediate impact. He went 2 for 4 with an RBI in Tuesday’s win and will look to continue his momentum here on Wednesday. The Angels are hoping a new place for the INF will help clear his head and allow him to produce. Jamie Barria gets the ball here, making his 17th appearance on the year. This will be his 5th start as he’s 2-2 with an ERA at 2.14. He’s faced the White Sox five different times in his career. Giolito counters and he’s been a roller coaster. He’s shown some solid signs, but also has had issues with his command at times. Look for this Angels lineup to really make him work from the outset. Some trends to note, the White Sox are 1-5 in their last 6 road games, and they're 1-6 in their last 7 road games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Angels are 12-3 in their last 15 games vs. a right-handed starter, are 20-6 in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a losing record.

Cleveland -135 Probable Pitchers: CLE - L. Allen-L vs KC - A. Cox-L On Wednesday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Cleveland Guardians (38-40, 18-21 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Kansas City Royals (22-57, 10-29 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Logan Allen (3-2, 3.68 ERA, 58 SO) taking on Austin Cox. (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 13 SO) The Guardians and Royals battled on Tuesday in what was a pitcher’s duel until things opened up in the 8th/9th inning. It was Will Brennan, the native just outside of Kansas City, who delivered a huge two run double in the 9th for Cleveland. The Guardians now sit 0.5 game back of first place Minnesota. We’re on Cleveland here again, after backing them yesterday. LH Logan Allen has been a nice piece to this rotation and stepped up in a big way. He seems to battle every time he’s on the hill and gives Cleveland chances to win. Even despite going just 4.0 innings last time out, he allowed 0 runs and struck out 5 in the process. Austin Cox counters and he’s been more of an opener for bullpen games for KC. He won’t give them length and this Cleveland side should find success against him. Some trends to note, the Guardians are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400, are 6-2 in their last 8 overall, and are 9-3 in their last 12 games vs. a left-handed starter. On the other side the Royals are 0-4 in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing record, and they're 1-4 in their last 5 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Gallen-R On Tuesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays (54-27, 20-17 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (47-32, 23-18 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Taj Bradley (5-3, 3.86 ERA, 71 SO) taking on Zac Gallen. (9-2, 2.84 ERA, 104 SO) Tampa Bay is always going to have value at plus money. Bradley has been a nice piece to this rotation, coming in with momentum as well. The RH went 6.0 innings, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits in a win over Baltimore. He's been very consistent this season, putting together quality outings. Gallen has been dominant as well. However, this is a Rays lineup that loves facing top tier pitching as they will make Gallen work here. Look for his pitch count to rack up early and for Tampa Bay to put a lot of traffic on the bases. Some trends to note, the Rays are 8-2 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record, are 10-3 in their last 13 games following an off day. The DBacks are 1-5 in their last 6 home games with the total set at 7-8.5, plus, they're 21-53 in their last 74 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Finally they're 4-9 in their last 13 games following an off day. Back the Rays on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

On the bumps we get Gavin Williams (0-0 6.35 ERA, 4 SO) taking on Brady Singer (4-7, 6.34 ERA, 67 SO) Cleveland has nice value here at this price. They send out their top prospect, Gavin Williams, who comes in off a no decision against Oakland. The RH made one bad pitch that resulted in a 3 run homer, as he had one inning where he allowed 4 runs. Otherwise, he did not allow a hit in any of the other innings worked as he now has the nerves out of the way from his big league debut. Singer knows this Guardians team well, but he has struggled this year. He's 0-3 in his last 3 starts with an ERA well over 6 too. Some trends to note. Royals are 16-41 in their last 57 games vs. a right-handed starter. Royals are 8-21 in their last 29 vs. American League Central. Royals are 22-58 in their last 80 overall.. Guardians are 9-3 in their last 12 games following a loss. Guardians are 5-2 in their last 7 overall. Guardians are 5-2 in their last 7 games on grass. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Scoring 13 in the series opener on Friday, after put up a double-digit 10-2 road victory over the Yankees on Thursday. On Saturday we have a nice AL betting matchup between the Seattle Mariners (37-37, 16-20 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the Baltimore Orioles (45-29, 22-14 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Bryce Miller (5-3, 3.68 ERA, 45 SO) taking on Dean Kremer. (8-3, 4.56 ERA, 72 SO) On Sunday, Miller defeated the White Sox. He allowed only 1 run on 4 hits throughout 7 innings, showcasing his skills with 6 strikeouts. In his last two starts he has now only given up two runs. His ERA has dropped to 3.68, he now has a 45:8 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 51.1 innings. Some trends to note, the Mariners are 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and are 4-1 in their last 5 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game. The Orioles are 0-4 in their last 4 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game, and are 0-5 in their last 5 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. It's tough to go against a team that is putting up a ton of runs. Plus they are 5-1 in the L6 in Baltimore, and 4-1 in their L5 vs. the O's. Back the Mariners on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

On the bumps we get Jon Gray (6-2, 2.96 ERA, 65 SO) taking on Luis Severino. (0-2, 6.30 ERA, 28 SO) We're going back to back on the Rangers on Saturday after their series opening win on Friday over the Yanks. Before his last start which I feel was a small blip on the radar Gray had been dominant since early May. He has gone 5-1 with a 0.84 ERA over the last 43 innings. In those 6 starts he even had a complete game. Of late Gray has posted a 1.99 ERA to go with a 46:9 K:BB across 45.1 innings. In his most recent outing Severino suffered his second loss of the season, bringing his record to 0-2. During the matchup against the Red Sox, he allowed 4 runs, 3 of which were earned, on 7 hits and 3 walks. Some trends to note, the Rangers are 9-0 in their last 9 Saturday games, 5-1 in their last 6 overall, and are 9-2 in their last 11 during game 2 of a series. On the other side, the Yankees are 1-4 in their last 5 games following a loss, 2-6 in their last 8 overall, and the Yanks have lost their last 4 games to Texas. Back the Rangers on the ML.

On the bumps we get Kyle Hendricks (2-2, 2.86 ERA, 16 SO) taking on Rich Hill. (6-6, 4.31 ERA, 72 SO) Kyle Hendricks has continued to produce solid starts. He's 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA over his last 3 starts as he continues to look like the Hendricks of old. He allowed 3 runs in 5.0 innings against the Brewers in his latest outing. Pittsburgh meanwhile is in freefall mode. They are now 4 games under after starting off as the hottest team and Rich Hill has been very hittable. He sits with 6 losses and an over 4 ERA thus far. He's not given this Pirates team much length either. Look for the Cubs offense to have a lot of success here and for Hendricks to work deep into this one on the pitching side. Some trends to note, the Cubbies are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Pittsburgh, and are 10-1 in the last 11 head to head with the Bucs. Plus, the Cubs are 7-1 in their last 8 overall, and are 5-0 in their last 5 vs. National League Central. The Pirates are 0-5 in their last 5 vs. a team with a losing record, are 0-5 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter, and finally they're 0-8 in their last 8 overall.

Dodgers -132 Probable Pitchers: LAD - C. Kershaw-L vs LAA - R. Detmers-L The Battle of Los Angeles gets going here on Tuesday night and we're on the Dodgers here. This is a nice line with Clayton Kershaw on the hill. He has been pitching like the Kershaw of old as of late and he comes in off a quality start where he allowed just 2 runs in 6.0 innings of work. The LH has logged 3 straight QS as he continues to set the pace for this rotation. Detmers will counter and he is just 1-1 with a 3.24 ERA over his last 3 starts. He's had command issues at times this year and will struggle against a lineup with this much depth. Some trends to note. LA Dodgers are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games against LA Angels.

Houston -113 On Monday, we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the New York Mets (33-38, 16-23 on the road, and 3-7 L10) and the Houston Astros (39-33, 20-18 at home, and 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Max Scherzer (5-2, 4.45 ERA, 60 SO) taking on Hunter Brown. (6-3, 3.38 ERA, 83 SO) The Astros and Mets both had weekends to forget. Houston was swept, at home, by the Reds while the Mets lost 2 of 3 to the Cards. Still, Houston is playing better overall as the Mets are just in a tailspin. The Mets are 12.5 games out of first place in the division and the Wild Card deficit continues to get bigger. Max Scherzer has not looked like himself either. He's struggled with command and allowed a lot of base runners. This is an offense in Houston that will make him work from the outset. Some trends to note. Mets are 3-8 in their last 11 games vs. a right-handed starter. Mets are 8-22 in their last 30 vs. a team with a winning record. Mets are 2-6 in their last 8 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter. Mets are 6-18 in their last 24 road games. Back Houston Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* MLB ML Play |

06-18-23 | Yankees +120 v. Red Sox | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Yankees ML Probable Pitchers: NYY - L. Severino-R vs BOS - B. Bello-R New York has the value here at plus money. This is a huge pitching edge to the Yanks. Luis Severino has 5 starts under his belt this season. While he's been shaky at times, this is the kind of pitcher you want in the 2nd game of a doubleheader. He knows he has to not only help the bullpen out, but he has to give this Yankees team a chance to win. Look for him to step up produce a lot of swings and misses from this Boston lineup. Bello counters and he has been a struggle at home. Coming in with a 2-3 home record, the RH owns a near 5 ERA inside Fenway. New York's lineup will make him work and put a lot of traffic on the bases. Some trends to note, the Yankees are 4-0 in their last 4 games after losing the first 2 games of a series, are 9-3 in their last 12 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 9-4 in their last 13 road games. On the other side the Red Sox are 0-5 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. Lastly the Yanks are 7-3 in their L10 vs. Boston. Back the Yankees on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Cleveland -123 On Saturday, we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks (42-28, 22-17 at home and 6-4 L10) and the Cleveland Guardians (32-37, 15-20 on the road, and 7-3 L10). On the bumps we get Shane Bieber (5-3, 3.29 ERA, 64 SO) taking on Tommy Henry. (3-1, 4.86 ERA, 33 SO) Cleveland and Arizona continue their weekend series and we're on the Guardians here. Shane Bieber takes the hill after one of his best starts in quite some time. He went 7.0 strong against one of the best offenses in the MLB as he shut down the Astros. Cleveland needs a big performance as this bullpen has been taxed and this is the perfect guy to have on the mound. Tommy Henry has allowed back to back starts where he has been knocked around. He allowed 5 runs In each of those outings and is in a struggle right now. Some trends to note. Diamondbacks are 1-5 in their last 6 home games. Diamondbacks are 0-4 in their last 4 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Guardians are 7-1 in their last 8 games vs. a left-handed starter. Guardians are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. Guardians are 4-1 in their last 5 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Baltimore +115 On Saturday, we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Baltimore Orioles (43-26, 21-13 on the road and 6-4 L10) and the Chicago Cubs (32-37, 19-16 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Kyle Gibson (8-3, 3.90 ERA, 58 SO) taking on Justin Steele. (6-2, 2.65 ERA, 58 SO) Baltimore has value here at plus money. Justin Steele returns from the IL and will not only be on a pitch count, but will have some rust here to deal with. This is not the kind of lineup you want to see returning from the IL as Baltimore has hitters who really make pitchers work. They aren't shy about taking pitches and they have the ability to hit the long ball. Kyle Gibson goes for them and he's been a huge surprise to this rotation. He logged a quality start last time out as well going 6.1 allowing 3 runs to KC. Some trends to note, the Orioles are 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a left-handed starter, are 8-1 in their last 9 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter, and they're 6-2 in their last 8 overall. On the other side the Cubs are 1-4 in their last 5 interleague games, 1-6 in their last 7 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, and finally they're 3-7 in their last 10 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

Red Sox ML NYY - D. German-R vs BOS - T. Houck-R On Friday we have a nice AL East betting matchup between the NY Yankees (39-30, 18-13 on the road, and 5-5 L10) and the Boston Red Sox (34-35, 18-18 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Domingo German (4-3, 3.49 ERA, 64 SO) taking on Tanner Houck. (3-6, 5.23 ERA, 62 SO) Boston took 2 of 3 from the Yankees last weekend in New York and they're the move here on Friday. New York has struggled off an off day, but they've also had issues with the AL East as of late. Boston sends out Tanner Houck, who pitched very well against the Yankees last time out. He logged QS, allowing just 2 runs against this offense. He's 2-2 at home this season as well. German owns a 4.20 ERA away from home himself. His struggles come from putting a lot of traffic on the bases. He's going to have issues with this Red Sox lineup, in a hitter's ballpark. He was on the other side of the Tanner Houck start, where he did pitch well. But as we mentioned, he is a different pitcher on the road. Some trends to note, the Yankees are 2-7 in their last 9 games following an off day, and are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. American League East. On the flip side the Red Sox are 17-5 in their last 22 home games vs. a team with a winning record, and are 13-6 in their last 19 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game.

06-15-23 | White Sox v. Dodgers -137 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
Dodgers -137 On Thursday, we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Chicago White Sox (30-39, 13-22 on the road, and 6-4 L10) and the LA Dodgers (38-30, 21-11 at home, and 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Dylan Cease (3-3, 4.38 ERA, 81 SO) taking on Michael Grove. (0-2, 8.28 ERA, 23 SO) Los Angeles has value at this kind of price. The AL Central teams have been a nice fade and the Dodgers are just a tough team to crack. They come in 10 games over .500 at home and face Dylan Cease, who has been very hittable this year. The RH comes in with an ERA over 4 and his issues have been command. He's walked a lot of guys and is working out of the stretch early in games. Michael Grove has been a struggle himself, but he's got the offensive support behind him and the White Sox are dealing with a lot of injuries. Look for him to give the Dodgers every chance to win here. Some trends to note, head to head the Sox are 2-7 in their L9 vs. the Dodgers. Also, the White Sox are 3-10 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning record, 1-4 in their last 5 overall, and finally they're 1-6 in their last 7 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. On the other side the Dodgers are 21-5 in their last 26 interleague home games vs. a team with a losing record, are 74-27 in their last 101 home games vs. a right-handed starter, and finally they're 43-18 in their last 61 games following a loss.

Texas -137 On Thursday, we have a nice AL West betting matchup between the Texas Rangers (42-25, 22-11 at home and 5-5 L10) and the Los Angeles Angels (38-32, 18-18 on the road, and 8-2 L10). On the bumps we get Shohei Ohtani (5-2, 3.32 ERA, 102 SO) taking on Nathan Eovaldi. (9-2, 2.49 ERA, 83 SO) We're on Texas here as they come in off a win on Thursday night. The Rangers offense is a problem and the entire league knows it. This team can put up runs in such a hurry as they average well over 6 runs per game. Ohtani gets the ball to try and slow that down and he owns a 4.06 ERA against Texas. Countering him is Eovaldi, who ranks near the top in a lot of pitching categories. The RH is 5th in WHIP, 6th in ERA, and 2nd in wins. Some trends to note. Rangers are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Rangers are 9-3 in their last 12 home games. Rangers are 15-6 in their last 21 games on grass. Rangers are 9-4 in their last 13 games vs. a right-handed starter. Back Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* MLB ML Play |

Orioles -123 On Thursday, we have a nice AL East betting matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays (38-31, 19-18 on the road and 6-4 L10) and the Baltimore Orioles (42-25, 21-13 at home and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Yusei Kikuchi (6-2, 4.34 ERA, 64 SO) taking on Tyler Wells. (5-2, 3.24 ERA, 74 SO) The Orioles continue to be undervalued. They are playing exceptionally well, even despite yesterday's loss. They come in 8 games over .500 at home and Wells has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 3 starts. He's continued to give this team chances to win and this is another case where he can produce a lot of swings and misses against a very aggressive side. Look for the Orioles to get plenty of scoring chances as well, as Kikuchi tends to let a lot of traffic on the bases. Baltimore typically is a good bounce back team, which adds value here. Some trends to note, Blue Jays are 2-5 in their last 7 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and 5-16 in their last 21 vs. American League East. On the other side the Orioles are 5-1 in their last 6 overall, are 13-3 in their last 16 during game 3 of a series. Finally, they're 13-5 in their last 18 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Heaney-L On Wednesday we have a nice American League West betting matchup between the LA Angels (38-31, 18-17 on the road, and 8-2 L10) and the Texas Rangers (41-25, 21-11 at home, and 5-5 L10). On the bumps we get Reid Detmers (1-5, 4.79 ERA, 68 SO) taking on Andrew Heaney. (4-4, 4.14 ERA, 65 SO) Texas and LA meet once again on Wednesday and we're backing the Rangers here. Texas has struggled thus far in this series, but they send out Andrew Heaney. The LH is 3-2 at home this season and has come up in some big spots for the Rangers already. Detmers counters and he is just 1-2 in his last 3 starts with a very inflated ERA. He's struggled with walks and is constantly pitching with guys on base. His struggles will be shown here against this kind of lineup that loves to work counts and can hit the long ball. Some trends to note, the Angels are 5-12 in their last 17 road games vs. a left-handed starter. On the other side the Rangers are 4-0 in their last 4 home games with the total set at 7-8.5, are 5-1 in their last 6 home games vs. a left-handed starter, are 9-3 in their last 12 games following a loss, and finally they're 8-3 in their last 11 home games.

Milwaukee ML Probable Pitchers: MIL - C. Rea-R vs MIN - B. Ober-R On Wednesday we have a nice Interleague betting matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers (34-33, 16-17 on the road, and 4-6 L10) and the Minnesota Twins (34-33, 19-14 at home, and 4-6 L10). On the bumps we get Colin Rea (3-3, 4.47 ERA, 48 SO) taking on Bailey Ober. (3-3, 2.61 ERA, 47 SO) The Brewers and Twins played to a dramatic series opener last night that saw the Twins come back with 4 in the 9th inning. We're backing Milwaukee here on the quick turnaround. The theme for the Twins has been their inability to build off wins this year. They've let everyone hang around in the AL Central. Ober gets the ball and he's struggled to give the Twins much length in his outings. He usually will be out after 5.0 innings and this Brewers lineup is the kind of lineup that puts traffic on the bases. Rea counters and the RH comes in after a scoreless outing against the O's last time out that saw him go 5.0 innings. Some trends to note, the Brewers are 20-8 in their last 28 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record, and 17-8 in their last 25 during game 2 of a series. The Twins are 1-4 in their last 5 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, are are 2-6 in their last 8 overall, and are 3-8 in their last 11 games following a win. Back Milwaukee ML.

On the bumps we get Brandon Williamson (0-0, 5.40 ERA, 21 SO) taking on Jordan Lyles. (0-10, 6.84 ERA, 55 SO) The Reds continue to open a lot of eyes and they have value here at PK price. For starters, the Royals are just awful. They have been a mess this season and have struggled with both pitching and hitting. Lyes will get the nod and we faded him last time he took the mound. He suffered his 10th loss of the season in that game as he sits with an ERA of nearly 7. He struggles in almost every aspect and this is not a good matchup for him. Williamson has yet to factor in a decision. He's struggled at times too, but this Royals lineup ranks near the bottom in a lot of offensive categories and he should find some success here. Some trends to note, the Reds are 8-2 in their last 10 games following a win, are 6-0 in their last 6 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and they're also 5-1 in their last 6 games with the total set at 7-8.5. On the other side the Royals are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. a team with a losing record, 2-6 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing record, and lastly they're 15-42 in their last 57 overall.

German-R On Saturday we get the Boston Red Sox (31-32, 14-16 on the road, 3-7 L10) taking on the New York Yankees (37-27, 20-15 at home, 6-4 L10) in a nice AL gambling matchup. On the bumps we get Tanner Houck (3-5, 5.46 ERA, 56 SO) taking on Domingo German (3-3, 3.69 ERA, 59 SO). New York has the value here. The Yankees fell in the series opener 3-2, but they still come in with the edge. Boston has been sub par at best and they haven't been able to put together streaks. They especially have had issues against the Yankees in the past and it's been rare for them to win consecutive games against them. Houck gets the ball and he owns a high ERA. He's struggled with command and this is not the ballpark you want to have issues with. German has shown some solid signs and he is very familiar with this Red Sox lineup. He should find some solid success here against them and limit the scoring chances. Some trends to note, the Red Sox are 1-5 in their last 6 overall, and 1-6 in their last 7 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. The Yankees are 40-13 in their last 53 home games vs. a team with a losing record, they're also 7-3 in their last 10 games vs. a right-handed starter, and lastly are 43-19 in their last 62 vs. a team with a losing record.

Giants ML Probable Pitchers: CHC - M. Stroman-R vs SFO - A. Desclafani-R On Friday we get the Chicago Cubs (26-36, 11-20 on the road, 4-6 L10) taking on the San Francisco Giants (32-30, 17-15 at home, 5-5 L10) in a nice NL gambling matchup. On the bumps we get Marcos Stroman (6-4, 2.39 ERA, 68 SO) taking on Andrew Desclafani (4-5, 3.97 ERA, 51 SO). We really like the Giants tonight considering they're 8-2 in the L10 vs. the Cubs, and are 12-4 in their L16 in San Fran vs. the Cubs. San Francisco sits 2 games over the .500 mark at home, while the Cubs are just 11-20 on the road. While Marcus Stroman has been solid for the Cubs, he has been hittable on the road. This Giants lineup has always seemed to hit Chicago pitching and they have done well against RH pitching this season. Desclafani is very familiar with this Cubs side and has plenty of experience against them heading into Friday. Look for him to lean on that and give the Giants a solid outing. Some other trends to note, the Cubs are 0-4 in their last 4, 1-10 in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning record, are 3-13 in their last 16 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 1-7 in their last 8 road games with the total set at 7-8.5. On the other side the Giants are 8-1 in their last 9 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game, are 7-1 in their last 8 during game 1 of a series, and lastly they're 5-1 in their last 6 vs. a team with a losing record.

Allen-L On Friday we get the Houston Astros (36-27, 18-13 on the road, 5-5 L10) taking on the Cleveland Guardians (29-33, 14-16 at home, 6-4 L10) in a nice AL gambling matchup. On the bumps we get Cristian Javier (7-1, 2.84 ERA, 72 SO) taking on Logan Allen (3-2, 2.76 ERA, 47 SO). Houston comes in as they've been catching fire as of late. They are right on the heels of the Rangers and send out their ace here. Cristian Javier has 7 wins and a sub 3 ERA. He's making a case for himself to be in the Cy Young conversation and continues to give the Astros quality starts. He's been pitching at a top level and has produced a lot of swings and misses. Logan Allen counters for the Guardians and the rookie has been a huge piece to this rotation here through the first part of the year. This will be the best lineup he will see thus far as the Astros hitters will make him work from the outset. Some other trends to note, the Astros are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing record, are 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and are 40-11 in their last 51 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Kikuchi-L On Friday we get the Minnesota Twins (31-32, 13-18 on the road, 4-6 L10) taking on the Toronto Blue Jays (36-28, 18-11 at home, 8-2 L10) in a nice AL gambling matchup. On the bumps we get Sonny Gray (4-1, 2.15 ERA, 71 SO) taking on Yusei Kikuchi (6-2, 4.40 ERA, 60 SO). Toronto has value here against the Twins. The AL Central has all 5 teams under .500 and the Twins now have every team minus the Royals, breathing down their necks. Losers of 5 in a row, the Twins were swept away by the Rays and the injuries are piling up for them. Sonny Gray fell to the Guardians last time out where he allowed a late inning homerun to Will Brennan in what was eventually a 4-2 loss. This Jays lineup is deep and they will certainly make Gray work. Kikuchi has continued to give the Jays chances to win. He sits with 6 wins and has allowed just 2 runs in each of his last two outings. Some other trends to note, the Twins are 0-5 in their last 5 overall, 0-5 in their last 5 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game, and are 0-4 in their last 4 games following a loss. On the other hand the Blue Jays are 5-0 in their last 5 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game, 7-1 in their last 8 overall, and are 10-2 in their last 12 vs. American League Central.

Cubs ML Probable Pitchers: CHC - D. Smyly-L vs LAA - R. Detmers-L On Wednesday we get the Chicago Cubs (26-35, 11-19 on the road, 4-6 L10) taking on the L.A. Angels (33-30, 17-13 at home, 5-5 L10) in Interleague gambling action. On the bumps we get Drew Smyly (5-3, 3.56 ERA, 57 SO) taking on Reid Detmers (0-5, 5.15 ERA, 60 SO). In Thursday evening's matchup, the Cubs hold the advantage on the hill with Drew Smyly (5-3). Despite his recent loss against the Padres, where he surrendered 3 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks while striking out 4 over 5.2 innings, Smyly maintains a solid track record this season. Through 12 starts, he boasts a 3.56 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP, and 57 strikeouts over 65.2 innings. Meanwhile, the Angels face their own pitching challenge with Reid Detmers (0-5). In his recent outing against Houston, Detmers struggled, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings, with only 2 strikeouts. The Astros managed to score 3 runs on 4 hits in the fifth inning alone after Detmers had initially held them to just one run over the first 4 innings. Unfortunately for Detmers, he has yet to secure a win in his first 10 starts and currently holds a 5.15 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP over 50.2 innings. Some trends to note, the Cubs are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Los Angeles, and the Cubs are 5-2 in their last 7 interleague games vs. a left-handed starter, and the Angels are 1-4 in their last 5 interleague home games vs. a left-handed starter, plus the Angels are 3-7 in their last 10 interleague home games.

06-07-23 | Mets v. Braves -118 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Braves -118 Probable Pitchers: NYM - M. Scherzer-R vs ATL - C. Morton-R New York and Atlanta got a bit chippy in the Braves series opening win on Tuesday. We're backing the Braves here again as they are the better overall team. The Mets blew a 4-1 lead and they continue to show signs of so much inconsistency. They send out their ace in Max Scherzer, who owns a near 5 ERA on the road this year. Combine that with the Mets being a sub .500 team on the road and this just isn't a good situational spot for the Mets. Charlie Morton will counter after logging a quality start last time out against the Dbacks. He allowed 3 runs in 7.0 innings of work and has been a much better pitcher when it comes to throwing at night. Some trends to note. Braves are 5-1 in their last 6 Wednesday games. Braves are 4-1 in their last 5 overall. Braves are 4-1 in their last 5 games on grass. Braves are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter. Back Atlanta. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Their ace takes the hill and Bieber's name has been thrown around many times already as a candidate to be traded at this year's deadline or before. The RH has been good most times and brings in an ERA of 3.72. James Paxton counters and he has been a struggle against Cleveland. In his career, the RH has gone 1-3 with a 5.47 ERA in 5 career starts against them. Some trend to note. Guardians are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter. Guardians are 4-0 in their last 4 home games vs. a left-handed starter.. Guardians are 5-1 in their last 6 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.

Astros ML Probable Pitchers: HOU - B. Bielak-R vs TOR - A. Manoah-R On Monday we get the Houston Astros (35-24, 17-10 on the road, 7-3 L10) taking on the Toronto Blue Jays (33-27, 15-10 at home, 7-3 L10) in AL gambling action. On the bumps we get Brandon Bielak (2-2, 3.19 ERA, 28 SO) taking on Alex Manoah (1-6, 5.46 ERA, 48 SO). Alex Manoah has been a mess this season. At just 1-6, the RH has struggled in all areas and comes in a favorite today. He's been a solid fade, as he has not logged a quality start in his last 7 chances. He allowed 2 runs in just 4.0 innings of work last time out against the Brewers. Bielak counters for the Astros and he has allowed just 1 run in each of the last 3 out of 4 outings. He's stepped up big in this rotation and continues to put together solid performances while the Astros are getting chances to win. He's played a part in this turnaround for them and is 2-1 in his last 3 outings overall. Some trends to note, Astros are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, 16-5 in their last 21 vs. American League East, and are 18-6 in their last 24 overall. On the other side the Blue Jays are 1-6 in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and are 2-5 in their last 7 home games. Back the Astros on the ML.

Cleveland Guardians +119 Probable Pitchers: CLE - L. Allen-L vs MIN - S. Gray-R The Guardians (25-32) and Twins (31-27) meet in Game 3 of their weekend series. The Twins have taken the first two and set the tone in the AL Central race. However, Logan Allen has been a huge piece to this rotation for the Guardians. He has stepped up in a big way and comes in not allowing more than 3 runs in a start this season. He shut down the Orioles on Monday, allowing 0 runs and striking out 10 in 7.0 innings of work. Sonny Gray counters and owns a 3.60 ERA over the last 3 starts. He allowed 3 runs in just 5.0 innings of work against Cleveland earlier this season in a game where they made him work from the outset.

We're on the Orioles here, as they have had no issues playing on the road thus far. Coming into play on Friday, they sit with an 18-9 record away from home. They've been a solid road team and able to win series' against some good teams. Kremer gets the ball and the RH is 2-1 on the road this season. He comes in after allowing 3 runs in 6.1 innings of work against the Rangers. Webb counters and he's been solid since signing his big extension. He's been on the end of some run low support at times, which may be the case here again with him opposing Kremer. Some trends to note. Orioles are 7-3 in their last 10 interleague games. Orioles are 35-16 in their last 51 during game 1 of a series. Orioles are 49-24 in their last 73 games following a loss. Back Baltimore. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* MLB ML Play |

We're on New York here, at plus money. The Yankees took 2 of 3 in Seattle and are playing with a lot of confidence right now. They send out Luis Severino, who is making his third start of the season.

Valdez-L On Friday we get the LA Angels (30-28, 15-15 on the road, 5-5 L10) taking on the Houston Astros (33-23, 16-13 at home, and 6-4 L10). On the bumps we get Shohei Ohtani (5-1, 2.91 ERA, 90 SO) for the Angels, and Framber Valdez (5-4, 2.38 ERA, 77 SO) for the Astros. Houston is starting to pick up steam and they welcome in the Angels for a huge AL West showdown. A pair of aces take the hill here and we're taking the home side. Framber Valdez is 2-0 in his last 3 starts with a solid ERA of just 2.37. He's been the backbone to this rotation and continues to put up solid numbers. Countering him is Ohtani, who the Astros are very familiar with. Ohtani is 3-4 with an ERA near 4 in his career against the Astros. They have made him work in his outings against them and will put a focus on racking his pitch count up early here. Some trends to note, Angels are 4-11 in their last 15 road games vs. a left-handed starter, and 12-28 in their last 40 road games vs. a team with a winning record.

Yankees +126 Probable Pitchers: NYY - C. Schmidt-R vs SEA - G. Kirby-R As this is being typed, New York currently leads the Mariners 8-2 in Game 2 of their series. New York has been on a tear. Should they hold onto this big lead, they would jump to 11 games over the .500 mark. They are getting a lot of production top to bottom, being led by Judge who homered again on Tuesday night. Schmidt gets the ball for New York and while he typically works 5.0 innings at the most, he's still giving them chances to win every time he takes the mound. Kirby counters, with a 3.43 ERA over 10 starts this season. He is just 1-2 over his last 3 starts, with an ERA of well over 5. Some trends to note. Yankees are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. American League West. Yankees are 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Yankees are 5-0 in their last 5 road games. Back New York.

On the bumps we get Mitch Keller (6-1, 3.01 ERA, 85 SO) for the Bucs, and Alex Wood (1-0, 3.51 ERA, 26 SO) for the Giants. Pittsburgh has been in a bit of a regression, dropping 7 of their last 10 overall. They send out Mitch Keller, who owns a 3.79 ERA on the road this year. He's been a different pitcher versus when he's at home. He's been much more hittable and has had to work a bit more when facing opposing teams in road situations. Alex Wood counters after pitching 5.2 innings where he allowed just 1 run against the Brewers. The LH has just 3 starts at home this season and has yet to factor into the decision. Some trends to note, the Pirates are 1-6 in their last 7 games following a win, are 0-4 in their last 4 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and lastly they're 7-19 in their last 26 overall. The Giants are 6-1 in their last 7 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game, are 4-0 in their last 4 games following a loss.

New York +135 Probable Pitchers: NYY - N. Cortes-L vs SEA - L. Gilbert-R New York (33-23) and Seattle (28-26) continue their weekday set. We're on the Yankees here, who took the series opener and are playing at a top level once again. It took them some time, but the Yankees have found themselves. They come in 10 games over the .500 and offensively are clicking on all cylinders. Cortes gets the ball for them and he is looking to find his form that he had so much success with in 2022. The LH is still 4-2 on the season, but an inflated ERA is something he is looking to knock down. Gilbert counters here and the Seattle RH is just 1-2 at home this season with an ERA of over 3. Some trends to note. Yankees are 6-1 in their last 7 games following a win. Yankees are 4-1 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Yankees are 5-0 in their last 5 road games.

Houston +110 Probable Pitchers: MIN - J. Ryan-R vs HOU - B. Bielak-R Minnesota (28-26) and Houston (31-22) continue their series on Tuesday night. Houston was one out away from grabbing the opener, only to lose in extra innings 7-5. Anytime Houston is at this kind of price, especially at home, there is going to be value. Joe Ryan is the main reason this line is what it is as he has been pitching like a top tier starter. He's 7-1 on the season and allowed 1 run in 5.0 innings of work against San Francisco. Countering him is Brandon Bielak, who owns a modest 3.55 ERA. He's stepped up in this rotation for the Astros and has continued to give them chances to win. Some trends to note. Astros are 11-3 in their last 14 games on grass. Astros are 6-2 in their last 8 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Astros are 49-20 in their last 69 games following a loss. Astros are 41-17 in their last 58 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. Astros are 39-17 in their last 56 Tuesday games. Back Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

On the bumps we get Jack Flaherty (3-4, 5.29 ERA, 54 SO) vs. Tanner Bibee (1-1, 3.18 ERA, 25 SO). In his recent outing, Flaherty gave up 3 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks, while recording 5 strikeouts over 4.2 innings. This resulted in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Sunday. Currently, the right-hander holds a 5.29 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and a 54:33 K:BB ratio through 51 innings this season. Two games ago, Flaherty (3-4) secured a victory in a commanding 18-1 win over Milwaukee. He pitched 7 scoreless innings, allowing 3 hits and 2 walks, and striking out 10 batters. Considering the Guardians' won on Friday, the Guardians are favored here. But we think Flaherty is the preferable choice on the mound. The Cardinals bats will even up this series. Some trends to note, the Cardinals are 6-0 in their last 6 games following a loss, 4-1 in their last 5 interleague games, and are 9-3 in their last 12 games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Guardians are 1-5 in their last 6 games following a win, and are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. We get nice value on Saturday with the Cardinals at +105.

On the bumps we get Josiah Gray (4-5, 2.65 ERA, 47 SO) vs. Brady Singer (3-4, 7.48 ERA, 43 SO). The Nats won game 1 12-10 on Friday. Josiah Gray isn't terrible, but he certainly isn't exceeding expectations either. Gray's ERA has decreased to 2.65, but his 47 strikeouts and 28 walks in 57.2 innings indicate a concerning trend. He has allowed 20 hits, and 15 walks in the L3 games. Singer didn't factor into the decision his last game out in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Tigers in 10 innings after allowing 5 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks while striking out 3 batters over 3.2 innings. In Major League Baseball, Washington holds the 22nd position with a slugging percentage of .383. In terms of scoring, Washington is the 23rd-highest ranked team. Throughout the season, the Nationals have managed to hit 36 home runs, which stands as the second-lowest count among all teams in MLB.

Boston -134 Probable Pitchers: BOS - C. Sale-L vs ARI - B. Pfaadt-R Boston (26-24) and Arizona (29-21) meet on Friday night. We're on the Sox here, at a nice price. Chris Sale has been returning to his old form. The lanky LH has record 21.0 innings over his last 3 starts, allowing just 6 runs in the process. He's been leading this rotation that was in such a need for an ace to step up. Sale comes in a solid 3-2 on the road and will look to feed off his last start against the Padres, where he threw 7.0 innings, allowing just 2 runs. He's getting better with each start. Pfaadt counters as the Dbacks rookie has had a tough go through his first 4 starts. He's struggled with command and it's led to some early exits. Some trends to note. Red Sox are 58-26 in their last 84 vs. National League West. Red Sox are 36-17 in their last 53 interleague road games vs. a team with a winning record..

Cleveland switched up their rotation with the off day and will get Shane Bieber going here on Friday. They're looking to get any kind of momentum right now. Despite a slow start, they are right in the division race as the AL Central is the division that keeps on giving. Shane Bieber threw a complete game last time out, allowing just 2 runs in a 2-1 loss to New York. He's been solid and consistent this season and can set the tone for this weekend here. The Cards send out their rookie, who is making his second start of the year. He's 1-0 and this will mark his third outing overall here in 2023. Some trends to note. Cardinals are 2-5 in their last 7 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record. Cardinals are 1-4 in their last 5 Friday games..

(22-26, 13-10 at home, 3-7 L10). On the bumps we get Zac Gallen (6-2, 2.95 ERA, 72 SO) taking on Ranger Suarez (0-1, 10.50 ERA, 8 SO). Gallen encountered significant difficulties in his most recent game Friday. He conceded a total of 8 hits and experienced a career-high of 8 runs, with 5 of them being earned, within a span of 3 2/3 innings. Additionally, he issued 4 walks during the game. Today we're banking on Suarez getting back to normal. Before being called back up in 3 rehab appearances spanning 9 innings, Suarez was impressive with a 1.00 ERA, maintaining a low 0.78 WHIP. The lefty had a strong performance in 2022, posting a 3.65 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and an impressive 129:58 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 155.1 innings over 29 starts.

On the bumps we get Brayan Bello (3-1, 4.45 ERA, 31 SO) taking on Griffin Canning (2-2, 6.14 ERA, 25 SO). The Angels take on Boston and we're on LA here at a PK price. The Angels sit 3 games over the .500 at home this season and they are getting production from a lot of different players. This team is trying to remain competitive as well so they can keep Ohtani at the deadline. Bello goes for Boston and he owns a 4.22 ERA on the road this year. He's only struck out 8 away from Fenway and with how deep this Angels lineup is, he will have his work cut out for him. Countering him is Canning. The RH allowed just 3 runs in 5.1 innings of work against Baltimore last time out and has pitched in 5 innings in 5 of his 6 starts. Some trends to note, the Red Sox are 9-24 in their L33 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game, they're also 2-7 in their L9 games vs. a right-handed starter, and 1-4 in their L5 games following a loss.

Cleveland took the opener 3-0 as they are looking to find their groove. The Guardians and White Sox have both under achieved tremendously here in the 2023 campaign.

He owns just 3.04 ERA after allowing 1 run in 5.2 innings of work against these Sox. Dylan Cease counters and he was on the losing end of that Logan Allen start.

On the bumps we get Dane Dunning vs. Luis Ortiz. Dan Dunning gets the ball for the Rangers as he comes in with solid momentum. Dunning has logged back to back quality starts as he has thrown 6.0 innings in each of the last 2. He allowed 2 runs against Seattle and just one run against the Braves last time out. Ortiz counters in what will be just his 3rd start of the season. The first two have not gone according to plan as he has allowed a combined 9 runs. The LH has been knocked around by Detroit and Colorado so far and this Texas lineup is red hot coming into play. Look for them to make Ortiz work and to have plenty of scoring chances early in this one. Some trends to note, Rangers are 4-1 in their L5 overall, and 4-1 in their L5 interleague games. The Pirates are 2-12 in their L14 games vs. a right-handed starter, are 1-6 in their L7 home games vs. a right-handed starter, lastly they're 0-7 in their L7 interleague home games vs. a team with a winning record.

Logan Gilbert overcame a shaky opening frame, retired 15 straight batters, Eugenio Suárez smacked a two-run home run, and the Mariners defeated the Braves 7-3 Saturday evening. Sunday the M's trot out who for me has been their best pitcher in 2023. George Kirby. Kirby, an outstanding young pitcher, showcased his prowess in the recent game against Boston. With a record of 5-2, he secured a W, allowing just 1 run, 8 hits, and 1 walk, while striking out 6 batters in 6.2 innings. Notably, Kirby maintained a scoreless streak for 5 innings. He has been impressive all season, as he has achieved 7 quality starts this season. Additionally, his statistics reflect All Star-level achievements: 5 wins, a remarkable 2.45 ERA, a stellar 1.01 WHIP, and an impressive 41:4 K:BB ratio across 8 starts.

I like Sandoval in this spot on Saturday in front of the home crowd. In his previous game, Varland (1-0) secured a W against the Cubs, conceding 3 runs on 4 hits and a walk in 6.1 innings. He K'd 7 batters. On the other hand, Sandoval (3-2) suffered a loss in the game against the Guardians, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on 5 hits and a walk over 7.2 innings. He managed to strike out 5 opponents. Sandoval exhibited excellent performance until the seventh inning, allowing only an unearned run. For the season, Sandoval holds a 3.22 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP and a 31:16 K:BB ratio across 44.2 innings. In his last 3 appearances, he holds a 1-1 record with a 3.32 ERA. Back the Angels on Saturday.

Tigers ML Probable Pitchers: A. Faedo-R vs WAS - P. Corbin-L The Tigers (19-22, 9-12 on the road, 5-5 L10) take on the Nationals (18-26, 8-14 at home, 4-6 L10) on Saturday. On Saturday, Faedo (0-1) suffered a 5-0 loss to Seattle, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits and 1 walk over 6 innings while striking out 7. Despite Detroit's injury-plagued rotation, Faedo will continue to see action. On Monday, Corbin (2-5) secured a 10-3 win over the Mets by allowing 2 runs on 8 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings, with 1 strikeout. Corbin has maintained consistency, allowing 3 or fewer earned runs and pitching at least 5 innings in his 6th consecutive start. Some trends to note, the Tigers are 4-1 in their last 5 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record, and 11-3 in their last 14 interleague games. The Nats are 4-17 in their last 21 interleague home games, 0-5 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter, and lastly the Nats are 1-7 in their last 8 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter. Washington is a struggling team and this extends beyond their lackluster pitching. Corbin's performance, though decent, is far from extraordinary, with an average of over 4 runs per game allowed and opponents holding a .264 batting average. The Nationals' team ERA ranks 18th in the Majors at 4.39, while their WHIP stands at 24th with 1.42. The Tigers' pitching staff has managed to hold their own, relying on serviceable starting pitchers with a team ERA of 5.11, placing them 23rd in MLB. Surprisingly, their relief pitchers have performed even better than anticipated, boasting a 4.40 ERA, which ranks 20th in the league. Back the Tigers on the ML, Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Rays -101 Probable Pitchers: TAM - J. Fleming-L vs NYM - K. Senga-R Tampa Bay (32-11) and New York (20-23) clash Wednesday night and we're on the Rays here. Tampa Bay is getting amazing value as these are two teams going in different directions. Tampa Bay is playing with such confidence right now as they're doing everything right. From timely hitting, to solid pitching, this team continues to do everything right. New York meanwhile is getting absolutely nothing. They are struggling every which way themselves and their inability to get people to step up has been the biggest factor. Their vets are struggling and they continue to fall behind in almost every game. Senga allowed 5 runs against the Reds last time out in a loss, as he also received zero support from the offense. Some trends to note. Rays are 38-13 in their last 51 vs. a team with a losing record. Rays are 32-11 in their last 43 overall. Rays are 26-9 in their last 35 games vs. a right-handed starter.

They Yankees have taken the first two. We're getting Cole at this kind of price, which is extremely valuable. Gerrit Cole thrives in situations like this. With the Jays crowd all over the Yankees for the antics over the first couple of games, Cole will look to step up in a big way. He came back huge against Tampa Bay last time out allowing just 2 runs in 5.0 innings of work. Bassitt counters and he hasn't seen much of the Yankees. He pitched agains them back in 2019 as a member of the A's and hasn't seen them since then. He's been consistent out of the gates this year, but this Yankees lineup will make him work. Some trends to note, the Yankees are 6-1 in their L7 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game, they're also 4-1 in their last 5 overall, and 10-3 in their last 13 during game 3 of a series. On the other side the 1-7 in their last 8 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Dodgers -108 Probable Pitchers: MIN - P. Lopez-R vs LAD - N. Syndergaard-R Los Angeles (26-15) and Minnesota (23-18) meet on Monday night to start off their series. We're on the Dodgers at this kind of price. To say the Twins have been unlucky in Dodger Stadium would be an understatement. Los Angeles has been dominant this season and at home they've been nearly unbeatable. They come Into play 15-6 on the year here in LA and they've found their offensive groove too. Noah Syndergaard goes for the home side and he is fresh after leaving the game last time out with a right index finger issue. The Dodgers pitching staff is starting to figure things out themselves as well during this 5 game winning streak. Lopez counters for Minnesota. He is 1-0 in his career against LA, with an ERA of 3.00. Some trends to note. Dodgers are 101-36 in their last 137 home games. Dodgers are 59-23 in their last 82 during game 1 of a series. Dodgers are 68-23 in their last 91 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Dodgers are 44-15 in their last 59 home games vs. a team with a winning record.

05-15-23 | Phillies v. Giants -108 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
Giants ML Probable Pitchers: Brogdon (R) vs. Wood (L) The Philadelphia Phillies (20-20, 9-13 on the road, 5-5 L10) are in San Francisco to take on the Giants (17-23, 10-10 at home, 4-6 in the L10) on Monday. The Phils lost 4-0 to Colorado on Sunday. According to Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the next time Bailey Falter (0-6, 5.75 ERA, 26 SO) takes the mound for the Phillies, he is expected to pitch following opener Connor Brogdon (2-0, 2.61 ERA, 18 SO). Following his successful 3.86 ERA performance in 20 appearances (16 starts) last season, Falter has encountered issues in 2023, as he has a 5.75 ERA across 7 starts. On the other side, after recovering from a hamstring injury, Wood (0-0, 2.45 ERA, 12 SO) made his return on Friday, pitching one inning and conceding 1 run on 3 hits and a 1 walk, with 1 strikeout. Considering his recent recovery, Wood might be subjected to a pitch count for Monday's game. During his sole rehab appearance with AAA Sacramento last Sunday, he threw only 46 pitches over 3.2 innings. Some trends to note, Phillies are 1-5 in their last 6 games following a loss, and are 2-8 in their last 10 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Giants are 6-0 in their last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter, and lastly they're 4-0 in their last 4 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Wood is 3-3 with a 3.79 ERA in 15 career appearances (10 starts) vs. Phili. Falter has faced the Giants 1x in his career. The Giants have been underachieving thus far this year, and I believe better times are ahead for this club. They'll grab game 1 today vs. the Phils. Back the Giants on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Boston +108 Probable Pitchers: STL - M. Mikolas-R vs BOS - C. Kluber-R Boston (22-18) and St. Louis (15-25) meet on Sunday Night Baseball. We're on the Red Sox at plus money here. It's hard to trust St. Louis at all with how inconsistent they've been this season. They've struggled and have been filled with drama constantly coming into play. They send out Mikolas, who has struggled himself overall. He boasts an ERA over 5 and will have his work cut out for him against this lineup. He sits with an ERA of 4.29 on the road as well and pitching in Fenway is never easy. Corey Kluber counters coming off a 5.0 inning outing against the Phillies where he allowed 3 runs. He's going to have to step up for this rotation to be successful and it starts with him coming up in spots like this. Some trends to note. Red Sox are 6-2 in their last 8 home games. Red Sox are 5-1 in their last 6 Sunday games. Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Back Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* MLB ML Play |

Cleveland blew a 4-3 lead in the 9th inning on Friday night and looks to bounce back here with Cal Quantrill. The RH has pitched extremely well last time out, going 7.0 innings against the Twins. He took a no hitter into that 7th inning as well. He's been pitching like the Quantrill of old and has come up big for Cleveland lately. Detmers counters and he has been a struggle this season. He comes in 0-3 with an ERA of over 5. Cleveland can hit him and provide some early support for Quantrill. Some trends to note. Guardians are 12-5 in their last 17 vs. American League West. Angels are 15-38 in the last 53 meetings in Cleveland. Angels are 17-39 in the last 56 meetings. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* MLB ML Play |

Tampa Bay -108 Probable Pitchers: TAM - D. Rasmussen-R vs NYY - D. German-R Tampa Bay (29-9) and New York (21-17) meet once again. Tampa Bay has just dominated the Yankees overall and they have value at this kind of price. German gets the ball for New York and he is being overvalued a bit here. He threw just 5.0 innings last time out against the Rays as they made him work early with his pitch count. He has overachieved a bit this season and at times he has shown he can be knocked around. Rasmussen counters and he is very familiar with this Yankees side. Look for him to shut them down early and turn it over to one of the best pens in baseball. Some trends to note. Rays are 6-2 in their last 8 vs. a team with a winning record. Rays are 6-2 in their last 8 road games. Rays are 5-2 in their last 7 games following a loss.

Cleveland -102 Probable Pitchers: DET - E. Rodriguez-L vs CLE - P. Battenfield-R Cleveland (17-19) and Detroit (16-19) meet in the rubber match of this three game set. We're on the Guardians here. Battenfield took the spot of Zach Plesac in the rotation and threw a solid outing againast the Twins. He finished with 7.0 innings, allowing just 2 runs. He was perfect through the first 5.2 in that start as well, but didn't get any sort of offensive support. Cleveland is looking to gain some steam themselves and after a 2-0 win on Tuesday, grabbing another series win here would be a huge step for them. Some trends to consider, Tigers are 1-5 in their last 6 during game 3 of a series, and 6-14 in their last 20 games following a loss. Also the Tigers are 13-38 in the last 51 games in Cleveland, and are 30-73 in the last 103 versus the Guardians head to head.

Marlins ML Probable Pitchers: Luzardo (L) vs. Pfaadt (R) The Marlins (17-18, 7-9 on the road, 5-5 L10) take on the D-Backs (19-15, 10-7 at home, 6-4 L10) on Tuesday night in Arizona. In his MLB debut last Wednesday at Texas, Brandon Pfaadt was unfortunately tagged for a whopping 7 earned runs on 9 hits, which included a distressing 4 home runs. Despite this lackluster performance, the Diamondbacks decided to give this promising young pitcher another opportunity to prove his worth on the mound. After all, Pfaadt has demonstrated outstanding abilities in the Minor Leagues. However, as any seasoned baseball enthusiast can attest, the Majors represent an entirely different ballgame altogether. This is a play against Pfaadt. The Marlins will chuck Jesus Luzardo on Tuesday. Luzardo (2-2) had a rather mediocre outing against Atlanta on Thursday, surrendering a total of 4 runs, of which 3 were deemed to be earned, after allowing 7 hits and issuing 3 walks. Despite striking out 5 batters in the span of 5.2 innings. Some trends to note, the Diamondbacks are 3-8 in their last 11 Tuesday games. The Marlins are 7-3 in their last 10 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The Marlins are a top 15 MLB team when it comes to hits, and I think they'll string enough together on Tuesday vs. this young pitcher to get some guys on base and manufacture some runs. Back the Marlins on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

The Rays got the better of Baltimore in Game 1 on Monday. Monday was the Ray's 7th shutout win, tonight they look for their 10th win in the L12 games. Eflin and Rodriguez are on the mound tonight. Eflin, with an impressive 4-0 record, secured his latest victory last Thursday by pitching 7 scoreless innings and striking out 10 batters while allowing only 3 hits against the Pirates. With a 2.25 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and a 31:3 K/BB ratio through 28 innings pitched, Eflin has dominated the mound this season. On the other hand, Rodriguez's recent performance against the Royals was lackluster, as he allowed 6 runs on 8 hits and 1 walk in just 3.2 innings, resulting in a significant increase in his ERA from 4.07 to 5.46. Some trends to note, the Rays are 6-1 in their L7 vs. a team with a winning record, 29-7 in their last 36 overall, and 5-1 in their last 6 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The O's are 0-4 in their last 4 during game 2 of a series. Back the Rays on the ML. They are 37-15 vs. the O's in their L52 head to head matchups. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* MLB ML Play |

Seattle's come from behind win on Saturday has them with all the momentum right now. They rallied for 7 in the 8th inning to steal a game from Houston. They've been looking for a turning point and they may have found it with that. They send out Miller here, who threw 6.0 solid innings last time out against the A's. Look for him to give Seattle some length here and produce a lot of swings and misses from this Houston lineup. A trend to note, the Mariners are 4-1 in their last 5 overall. The M's are starting to play some good baseball. Their sluggish start is slowly trending into a thing of the past. Back the Mariners on the ML behind their new young gun pitcher Bryce Miller.

The Guardians offense came to life after getting shut out in the series opener to take a 4-3 win over the Twins Saturday. Now, they look to take the series here. Cleveland should have some success against Ryan in this one. They made Gray work on Saturday and got to him early, which will be the same strategy. Look for them to rack up Ryan's pitch count and get him out of the stretch. Quantrill has pitched better as of late as well, adding to the value here. Some trends to note, Minnesota are 2-7 SU in their last 9 games when playing on the road against Cleveland, 2-10 SU in their last 12 against Cleveland, and are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games on the road. Guardians are 21-8 in their L29 during game 3 of a series. Back the Guardians on Sunday afternoon. Cleveland are 13-6 SU in their L19 games against an opponent in the AL Central.

The Dodgers send out Clayton Kershaw, who has been stellar this year. The LH has looked to return to his old form and comes in off 7.0 innings of work allowing just 2 hits and no runs in the process. He's very familiar with the division rival San Diego and has had success against them. Darvish counters and he allowed 4 runs last time out himself. He's a very hittable pitcher when It comes to teams like the Dodgers, as they should be able to put traffic on the bases here. Some trends to note, Dodgers are 58-21 in their last 79 during game 1 of a series, 70-27 in their L97 games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 66-30 in the last 96 meetings.

On the other side the home Cardinals are 10-19, 5-8 at home, and 2-8 in their L10. We've got a lefty battle on our hands with Patrick Sandoval taking the mound for the Angels and Steven Matz for the Cardinals.

Sandoval, on the other hand, has a 2-1 record and a 3.16 ERA. He's coming off a solid performance with only two earned runs in seven innings against the Oakland A's. Some trends to note, Angels are 1-4 in their last 5 road games, and are are 3-11 in their last 14 interleague road games.

While the Angels have been struggling on the road, the Cardinals have dominated interleague play, especially against left-handed starters. We're backing the Cardinals on Tuesday. They are 5-2 in their L7 vs. the Angels in St. Louis, and Matz will right the ship. Look back to 2021, he went 14-7 with a solid 3.82 ERA and a respectable 1.33 WHIP. Good things are ahead.

Lynn's (0-3) recent record isn't impressive, as he conceded four runs on five hits and three walks against Toronto last Monday, striking out four. On the other hand, Chirinos, who will probably pitch after an opener, is having a nice start to 23'. In his three relief appearances, he has yet to give up a run and has pitched up to 3.2 innings with a maximum of 46 pitches. The Rays are looking to utilize him for 60-to-75 pitches.

On the flip side the Marlins are 4-1 in their L5 during game 2 of a series, 7-2 in their last 9 home games, and lastly are 5-1 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning record.

Last games out for each, Stroman (2-2) had a rough outing against the Dodgers last Sunday, but let's not forget that he struck out five despite giving up five runs. On the other hand, Luzardo (2-1) also took a loss last Sunday but managed to rack up six strikeouts against the Guardians. The Cubs, standing at 14-10, are looking to take advantage of Luzardo's recent struggles. (In his last game before Sunday he got pelted by the Guardians 7-4). Stroman 2 starts ago had a better day, getting a no-decision. In that game he only allowed two hits and two walks over six scoreless innings against the A's, he had 5 K's. Some trends to note, the Cubs are 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a left-handed starter, are also 4-0 in their L4 road games, and are 6-1 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter. On the flip side the Marlins are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record, and are 12-29 in their last 41 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Love the Cubs run diff. as we enter Friday as well. +43. Marlins... -38. We're picking the Cubs at a moneyline straight up pick for this game. Back the Cubs ML.

04-26-23 | Yankees +110 v. Twins | 12-6 | Win | 110 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
Yankees ML Probable Pitchers: German (R) vs. Maeda (R) New York (13-11) and Minnesota (14-10) meet Wednesday as it's the Yankees who look to avoid losing 3 straight to Minnesota. It's been rare in the past to see Minnesota even hang with New York. However, things will change on Wednesday as we get a great price on New York. German gets the ball and has found a bit more consistency this season. He's working well in the strikezone and keeping opposing hitters off balanced. Look for him to continue that trend here today, as he will get ahead of this aggressive Minnesota lineup. Some trends to note, head to head the Yanks are 35-16 in the L51 meetings in Minnesota, and 40-14 in the last 54 matchups. Plus the Yankees are 6-1 in their L7 during game 3 of a series. The Twins are 1-4 in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning record, and 24-50 in their L74 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Back New York ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Cubs ML Probable Pitchers: Snell (L) vs. Steele (L) Tuesday night the San Diego Padres (12-12, 7-4 at home) take on the Chicago Cubs (12-9, 6-7 at home). The Padres are 5-5 in their L10, the Cubs are 6-4. Justin Steele is having a successful start to the 2023 season with the Cubs. His impressive numbers, including a 1.44 ERA and 24 strikeouts in just 25 innings, show that he has the potential to be a dominant pitcher in the big leagues. It's also encouraging to see that he's been able to limit the number of walks he's allowed, which is often a key indicator of a pitcher's control and command. As Steele continues to gain experience and adjust to facing major league hitters, it will be interesting to see how he develops and performs over the course of the season. On Tuesday we'll continue to ride his momentum. Some trends to note, the Padres are 1-6 in their L7 games with the total set at 7-8.5, are 0-4 in their last 4 games following an off day, and are 0-4 in their last 4 road games with the total set at 7-8.5. On the other side, the Cubbies are 6-1 in their L7 games following an off day, 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss, and finally are 10-2 in their last 12 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Dodgers -132 Probable Pitchers:LAD - N. Syndergaard-R vs PIT - J. Oviedo-R The Dodgers (12-11) and the Pirates (16-7) meet on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. We're on the the Dodgers here at this kind of price. While the Pirates do come in as one of the hottest teams in baseball, this will be a huge step up in competition. They dealt with the Reds and Rockies in the two previous series' and now coming after LA will be a much more difficult challenge. Noah Syndergaard has logged 3 quality starts this season, as he has looked back to his old forms at time to start his 2023 campaign. He has the ability to make quick work and have quick innings, which will certainly benefit us here. Expect him to set the tone in this one and for LA to get some early support for him. Some trends to note. Dodgers are 45-17 in their last 62 vs. National League Central. Dodgers are 55-21 in their last 76 during game 1 of a series. Dodgers are 65-25 in their last 90 games vs. a right-handed starter. Dodgers are 39-15 in their last 54 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-23-23 | Cardinals v. Mariners -102 | 7-3 | Loss | -102 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
Mariners ML Probable Pitchers: Flaherty (R) vs. Flexen (R) The "highly anticipated pitching matchup" between Jack Flaherty and Chris Flexen is set to take place on Sunday when the Seattle Mariners (10-11, 7-8 at home, 6-4 L10) go up against the St. Louis Cardinals (8-13, 3-5 on the road, 4-6 L10). In the finale on Sunday, we will witness a clash of right-handers with Flaherty boasting a record of 1-2 and an ERA of 2.95, while Flexen's record is 0-3 with an ERA of 7.79. On Monday, Flexen faced Milwaukee, where he lost with a score of 3-7, resulting in a record of 0-3. In that game, Flexen gave up four earned runs, six hits, and a walk, while striking out five batters in six innings. Nevertheless, it was an improvement from his previous performance. Flaherty has had one prior start against the Mariners with a record of 0-0 and an ERA of 7.71, whereas Flexen has had two appearances against the Cardinals with a record of 0-2 and an ERA of 10.13, with one start. Sunday I'm trusting the Mariners offense at home. They've won the first two games of this series and apart from their series against a very good Brewers team they've been making improvements. The Cardinals lost the series opener 5-2 Friday, and yesterday dropped a 5-4 decision. Some trends to note, Cardinals are 0-4 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter, are 0-4 in their L4 games with the total set at 7-8.5, and finally, they're 0-4 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Mariners on the other hand are 5-0 in their last 5 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record, 6-1 in their L7 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game, and finally are 22-8 in their last 30 home games vs. a team with a losing record.

04-22-23 | Reds +139 v. Pirates | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
Reds ML Probable Pitchers: Cessa (R) vs. Hill (L) On Saturday we get the 7-13 (1-7 on the road) Reds taking on the (14-7) Pirates. The Pirates are 5-3 at home. This is a play against Rich Hill. To date this year, Hill, a 42-year-old pitcher, has given up a total of two earned runs on five hits and two walks in six innings with zero strikeouts against the Astros. Surrendered seven runs on eight hits in four innings during a victory over the White Sox. Earned a win in a 14-3 triumph over the Rockies by allowing only one run on six hits and two walks in six innings. But he has also conceded three runs on three hits and two walks over five innings while facing the Reds. Last season, Cessa made 36 relief appearances and only 10 starts, primarily pitching out of the bullpen. He is (0-2) and suffered a defeat in his previous game, where he gave up 11 runs on 14 hits and three walks in just three innings. This occurred during a 14-3 loss to the Phillies on Sunday. Obviously nothing to get excited about, but I trust the Reds against Hill, more than I trust the Pirates against Cessa. Some trends to note, the Reds are 5-1 in their L6 games vs. a left-handed starter. On the other side the Pirates are 6-15 in their last 21 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game, and for those that like day of the week trends...the Bucs are 2-11 in their last 13 Saturday games. I'm projecting this one to be a 5-4, 4-3 kind of game. Back the Reds on the ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* MLB ML Play |

04-22-23 | Mets +114 v. Giants | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 4 m | Show | |
Mets ML Probable Pitchers: Peterson (L) vs. Webb (R) On Saturday we get the 13-7 (9-5 on the road) Mets taking on the (6-12) Giants who are 2-5 at home. Peterson (1-2) pitched six innings in Monday's 8-6 win over the Dodgers, giving up six runs on seven hits with no walks and six strikeouts, and was credited with the win. Logan Webb, currently holds a winless record of 0-4. In his recent game against the Marlins on Monday, he gave up four runs on eight hits in 6.2 innings, resulting in a loss, although he managed to strike out six batters. Despite Peterson's lackluster performance, as evidenced by his unimpressive stats of a 6.10 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and 22:8 K:BB over 20.2 innings, the Mets offense is still what I'm excited about in this one. The Mets can score runs, and their D is doing enough to win them games. Some trends to note, the Mets are 7-0 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter, 5-0 in their L5 road games vs. a right-handed starter, 8-1 in their last 9 overall, and 7-1 in their last 8 road games. On the other side the Giants are 1-7 in their last 8, and lastly they are 1-5 in their last 6 games following a loss. We're riding the Mets again on Saturday, after cashing at the window with them on Friday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-21-23 | Mets +108 v. Giants | 7-0 | Win | 108 | 23 h 57 m | Show | |
Mets ML Probable Pitchers: Lucchesi (L) vs. Desclafani (R) As I type this the Mets are up 5-2 over the Giants in the 5th inning. They jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the 1st and are trying to hold on. (Senga vs. Manaea) The Mets and Giants meet on Friday night in game 2. New York has the pitching edge in this one. Desclafani has battled injuries over the past few seasons and when he does take the mound, he is incredibly inconsistent. He comes in with a good start to the season, but he isn't one to sustain it. Combine that with this Mets lineup tearing the cover off the ball right now on this road trip and New York is going to make him work. Expect a lot of traffic on the bases in this one as the Mets will have plenty of scoring chances and give Lucchesi some early support. Some trends to note, the 6-1 in their L7 overall, plus they are 6-0 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The Giants are 1-5 in their last 6 overall, and lastly they are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. Back the Mets ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray Friday 7* MLB ML Play |

04-20-23 | Dodgers +106 v. Cubs | 6-2 | Win | 106 | 23 h 19 m | Show | |
Dodgers ML Probable Pitchers: Grove (R) vs. Taillon (R) On Saturday, neither Grove nor Taillon factored in the decision. Grove pitched for 5.2 innings, striking out 6 batters and allowing one run on two hits and two walks against the Cubs. Meanwhile, Taillon pitched five scoreless innings against the Dodgers, striking out 7 batters and allowing two hits and two walks. The Dodgers (9-10) and Cubs (11-6) meet here on Thursday. The Cubs record looks a little bit skewed as they got the advantage of dealing with Oakland this past week. They've had a much easier schedule overall than the Dodgers thus far. Los Angeles has simply dominated this head to head series as of late. They come in winners in 11 of the last 13 head to head matchups and they've done it in many different ways. One night they'll get solid pitching and the next the offense will explode for a lot of runs. Los Angeles hasn't even come close to hitting their stride yet and getting them at this kind of price right now is extremely valuable. Some trends to note, head to head the Dodgers are 11-2 vs. the Cubs in their L13. The Dodgers are 76-36 in their L112, 36-15 in their L51 road games vs. righties, 62-25 vs. righties, and 54-21 in G1 of a series. The Cubbies are 7-19 in their L26 vs. the NL West.

Rangers ML Probable Pitchers: Perez (L) vs. Singer (R) Texas (11-6) and Kansas City (4-14) continue their series on Wednesday. We're on the Rangers once again here, especially at this kind of price. Kansas City is just an ultimate fade. They have dropped 5 straight games and allowed 12 runs last night to this Texas side. They are struggling in every which way possible right now. Brady Singer gets the ball for them and he allowed 8 runs last time out to Atlanta. This Rangers offense will make him work early and frustrate him with a lot of traffic on the bases. Martin Perez counters for Texas, with a solid 2-1 record. He's given the Rangers a chance to win in all 3 starts of his and he should have a lot of success against this weak lineup. Some trends to note, the Rangers are 7-1 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, are 6-1 in their L7 games with the total set at 7-8.5, are also 5-1 in their L6 during game 3 of a series, and lastly they are 38-14 in their L52 vs. the Royals. On the other side the Royals are 1-11 in their last 12 home games,and finally the Royals are 1-6 in their last 7 during game 3 of a series. Back the Rangers on the ML.

Rangers ML Probable Pitchers: Eovaldi (R) vs. Keller (R) Texas (10-6) and Kansas City (4-13) meet on Tuesday night. We're fading Kansas City here. The Royals have been atrocious to start the season. They have struggled with their pitching and putting together solid performances in this lineup. The Rangers meanwhile have a lot of momentum to start their season. Despite battling some injuries, they've been able to put together some good at bats and are making opposing pitchers work a lot. Eovaldi has gone at least 5 innings in all 3 starts while Keller is due for a little regression. He's been the lone bright spot for this Royals team, but after posting an ERA of over 5 last year, look for him to start to see some adjustments from hitters. Some trends to note, the Rangers are 6-1 in their L7 games with the total set at 7-8.5, are 6-2 in their L8, and are 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter. On the other side the Royals are 1-5 in their last 6 games following a loss, are 1-10 in their last 11 home games, and are 0-6 in their last 6 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Head to head the Rangers are 4-1 in the L5 in KC, and own a 37-14 record in their L51 games vs. the Royals. Back the Rangers at -120. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

Rockies -135 Probable Pitchers: Hill (L) vs. Freeland (L) Colorado (5-11) and Pittsburgh (9-7) open their set here on Monday night. We're on the Rockies as they are a much different team at home. Colorado has cashed in 7 of the last 10 games inside Coors Field against the Pirates. Pittsburgh has always struggled here and this won't be different. The Rockies go with Kyle Freeland, who is off to a blazing start. He's 2-0 and allowed just 2 runs over 18.0 innings of work. He's limited traffic on the bases in all 3 starts and has been able to give Colorado every chance to win when he gets the ball. Rich Hill counters him and he is very hittable. The vet is a contact pitcher and inside this ballpark, that is always going to be an issue. The ball flys here and Hill will have plenty of issues against this offense. Head to head games between these two clubs favor the Rockies 5-1 in their L6. In Colorado the Pirates are 3-7 in their L10. Also, the Pirates are 1-8 in their L9 games with the total set at 11.0 or higher, and are 0-4 in their L4 vs. National League West, and lastly they're 6-22 in their last 28 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. Finally, the Rockies are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Back the Rockies on the moneyline. Good Luck, Razor Ray Monday 6* MLB ML Play |

Astros +110 Probable Pitchers: Gausman (R) vs. Javier (R) Houston (7-9) and Toronto (10-6) clash in Game 1 of their weekday set. We'e on the Astros, who are in a prime bounce back spot after getting crushed on Sunday Night Baseball. Houston being a home underdog is incredibly rare to see. They send out Christian Javier, who has thrown 6.0 innings in both of his last two starts. The RH is 1-0 on the year himself and the Stros are 2-1 in his starts. Gausman counters him and while he has had a good start to his campaign, wins over KC and Detroit aren't much to write home about. Houston's lineup is much deeper and will make him work much more than those two offenses did. Some trends to note, the Blue Jays are 4-11 in their last 15 vs. AL West. On the other side the Astros are 4-0 in their L4 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game, are 6-0 in their last 6 vs. AL East, are 41-15 in their last 56 games following a loss, and are 9-4 in their last 13 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

White Sox ML Probable Pitchers: Gibson (R) vs. Kopech (R) Chicago (5-8) and Baltimore (7-6) clash Saturday afternoon. We're on the Sox here, at home. Michael Kopech gets the ball and he's going to have to return to form if the Sox want any shot at competing this year. He had a stellar first half of the 2022 season, but injuries derailed him and he hasn't been the same. He has the ability to run up the radar gun and has plenty of strike out stuff. He does matchup well with this Baltimore lineup, who loves to be aggressive. Countering him is Gibson, who is a nice fade. Gibson has started the year off well, but he's always struggled with consistency. Pitching in a hitter's ballpark will not be fun for him as this White Sox lineup will make him work from the outset. Kopech will set the tone here for the White Sox and we should see some early support for him. Some trends to note, the Orioles 92-194 in their last 286 road games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games. Back the White Sox on the ML.

Yankees ML Probable Pitchers: Mahle (R) vs. German (R) New York (8-5) and Minnesota (9-4) meet in Game 3 of their 4 game set. The script has been flipped a bit as the Twins have taken the first two against New York in this series. It was a come from behind late win on Friday night as New York is in unfamiliar territory when it comes to losing to the Twins. New York sends out Domingo German, who worked 3 innings of relief last time out against Cleveland. He will step into the starters role and has the stuff. He has split time over the last few years in the pen and as a starter, so he has the ability to give this team length. Minnesota counters with Mahle, who was roughed up by the Astros in his last start. This is not an ideal ballpark for him to pitch in, given he's a very contact heavy pitcher. Some trends to note, the Twins are 3-7 in their last 10 during game 3 of a series, 9-24 in their last 33 vs. a team with a winning record, and finally are 6-20 in their last 26 road games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. On the other side the Yankees are 4-0 in their last 4 during game 3 of a series, plus they are 59-22 in their last 81 vs. American League Central, and they are 47-21 in their last 68 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

Yankees -140 Probable Pitchers: MIN - J. Ryan-R vs NYY - J. Brito-R New York (8-4) and Minnesota (8-4) meet on Thursday for the start of a 4 game series. We're on the Yankees here at this price. New York has simply owned the AL central and owned the Minnesota Twins for many years. Coming into play on Thursday, New York has won 44 out of the last 55 matchups in New York. Overall, they're 39-12 in the last 51 head to head meetings. This is a lopsided matchup and Brito has pitched well himself coming into play. He's gone 5.0 innings in both starts, giving the Yankees chances to win. Some trends to note. Yankees are 4-1 in their last 5 games on grass. Yankees are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter. Yankees are 59-21 in their last 80 vs. American League Central. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 10* MLB ML TOP PLAY |

Mets -109 Probable Pitchers: Snell (L) vs. Megill (R) We're on the Mets (6-6) over the Padres (7-5) on Wednesday. This is a fade on Snell here mostly, as this Mets offense should have a lot of success. Snell comes in 0-1 this year as neither of his first two starts have been anything to write home about. He's lacked command at times and also struggled when working out of the stretch. The Mets have a deep lineup that can cause a lot of issues for opposing pitchers. We're looking at New York here to make Snell work early. The LH allows a lot of walks in bunches and hits in flurries. Getting him early on and not allowing him to settle in will be the biggest key. Some trends to note. The Mets are 10-4 in their last 14 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30 and are 47-19 in their last 66 games following a loss. They're also 47-23 in their last 70 home games. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* MLB ML Play |

Twins ML Probable Pitchers: Lynn (R) vs. Lopez (R) Minnesota (6-4) and Chicago (5-6) meet for Game 2 on Tuesday. We're on Minnesota here to bounce back. Chicago will be without Tim Anderson as he left Monday's game with injury. The injuries are once again coming at Chicago as they're now without two missing pieces. Minnesota sends out Pablo Lopez, who has pitched well in his first two starts as Twins member. He's allowed just 1 run in 12.1 innings of work as he was a huge addition to this rotation. Lance Lynn goes for Chicago and he's been inconsistent over the past couple of seasons. The Twins should make him work and rack up his pitch count early here. Some trends to note, for starters Minnesota are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games against AL opponents, they're also 5-2 in their last 7 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, 7-3 in their L10 games vs. a right-handed starter, and they're 7-3 in their last 10 overall. On the other side the White Sox are 0-5 in their L5 games following a win, and are 2-5 in their last 7 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Play the Twins on the ML.

Rays ML Probable Pitchers: Pivetta (R) vs. Beeks (L) Boston (5-4) and Tampa Bay (9-0) clash on Monday. The Rays has got the attention from everyone here in the early part of the season. The Rays come in a perfect 9-0 and they just dismantled the A's over the weekend. Offensively, they're doing everything right. They're making opposing pitchers work and putting traffic all over the bases. They'll go up against Pivetta here, who dropped his first start of the season after going just 5.0 innings. Beeks will be the opener for Tampa Bay, as Kevin Cash has found a way to perfect working with a deep bullpen. Some trends to note, the Red Sox are 3-8 in their last 11 road games, and are 5-16 in their last 21 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game. On the other side of this one the Rays are 9-0 in their last 9 overall, 8-0 in their last 8 games following a win, 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 7-0 in their last 7 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

Atlanta -110 Pitching Probables: SDG - S. Lugo-R vs ATL - D. Dodd-L The Braves (6-3) and Padres (5-4) meet on Sunday Night Baseball. We're on the Braves here at aa PK price. Atlanta looks to earn a 4 game split here as they end Dodd to the hill. The LH is already 1-0 on the year as he turned in a solid performance against the Cardinals where he allowed just 1 run. He's a contact pitcher and should be able to produce some quick outs here against this Padres lineup. Lugo counters him and he's been a bit of a different pitcher on the road in recent years. He's had issues at times in road spots and this Braves lineup will make him work. Some trends to note. Braves are 7-3 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record. Braves are 16-7 in their last 23 vs. National League West. Braves are 75-34 in their last 109 games following a loss. Back Atlanta. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* MLB ML Play |

They take on Kansas City who has been awful thus far. They come into play just 2-6 and have struggled with both their pitching and hitting. The Giants meanwhile are hitting the ball well and are making pitchers work. Singer can get flustered easily and will struggle here against a lineup that really wears starting pitching out. The Giants see a lot of pitches and will rack up Singer's early. Some trends to note, the Royals are 2-8 in their last 10 overall, are 1-4 in their last 5 interleague road games, are 1-5 in their last 6 vs. a team with a losing record, and finally are 0-5 in their last 5 games following a win. On the other side the Giants are 15-7 in their last 22 overall, and 5-2 in their last 7 home games. Back the Giants ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-07-23 | Blue Jays v. Angels -118 | 4-3 | Loss | -118 | 22 h 27 m | Show | |
Angels -118 Pitching Probables: TOR - C. Bassitt-R vs LAA - P. Sandoval-L We're on the Angels (4-2) over the Blue Jays (4-3) on Friday night. Los Angeles always seems to start seasons off with some success, especially at home. They come in after a solid start and send out Sandoval to the hill. The lefty, is already 1-0 on the year after allowing just 1 run over 5.0 innings in his opener. Bassitt didn't fare so well himself. He allowed 9 runs and was throttled right from the start. This Angels lineup will make him work and should be able to get him out of the stretch early in this one. Some trends to note. Blue Jays are 2-10 in their last 12 vs. American League West. Blue Jays are 3-8 in their last 11 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Blue Jays are 3-10 in their last 13 games vs. a left-handed starter. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-04-23 | Diamondbacks v. Padres -137 | 8-6 | Loss | -137 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
Padres -137 Probable Pitchers: Gallen (R) vs. Darvish (R) San Diego (3-2) and Arizona (2-3) meet on Tuesday in Game 2 of their series. San Diego has all the momentum right now after coming from behind to knock off Arizona on a walkoff Monday night. The Padres are the kind of team that just lean on you and can break things open or flip the script really quickly with their power. Darvish gets the ball here and he will make his season debut after pitching in the WBC. Darvish used the extra time to get himself stretched out and will have no restrictions here. Gallen counters after being roughed up in his first start and will have a very difficult time against this kind of offense. San Diego makes pitchers work and he'll have to be out of the stretch early here. Some trends to note, the Diamondbacks are 7-21 in the last 28 meetings in San Diego, 6-18 in the L24 vs. the Padres, and 25-75 in their last 100 road games with the total set at 7 to 8.5. On the other side the Padres are 6-2 in their last 8 vs. National League West, and 15-7 in their last 22 vs. a team with a losing record. Back the Friars Good Luck, Razor Ray Tuesday 8* MLB ML Play |

04-03-23 | Blue Jays -125 v. Royals | 5-9 | Loss | -125 | 22 h 35 m | Show | |
Blue Jays ML Probable Pitchers: Berrios (R) vs. Singer (R) Toronto (1-2) and Kansas City (0-3) battle on Monday night and we're on the Jays at a very low price. Kansas City finally put up some runs on Sunday after back to back shut outs against the Twins. The Royals offense is going to be a huge issue this season, as they have had issues with even just getting runners on base. Berrios has plenty of experience against them as well from his time pitching with the Twins. Offensively, Toronto is not one team you're going to have to worry about. They make pitchers work and will put a ton of traffic on the bases. This is the kind of team that hits the homerun and not just solo shots, so they have the ability to flip a game quickly. Some trends of note, the Blue Jays are 19-7 in their last 26 during game 1 of a series, and are 20-8 in the last 28 meetings vs. the Royals. They're also 20-9 in their last 29 road games, and 11-5 in their last 16 games following a loss. The Royals are 1-6 in their last 7 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5, are 0-5 in their L5, and are 2-8 in their last 10 during game 1 of a series.

04-03-23 | Giants v. White Sox -128 | 12-3 | Loss | -128 | 17 h 56 m | Show | |
White Sox ML Probable Pitchers: Desclafani (R) vs. Kopech (R) San Francisco (1-2) and Chicago (2-1) battle here on Monday night. We're on Chicago here at this low of a price. The White Sox send out Kopech, who looks to have a bit of a rebound year. The RH started last season on a tear, but injuries started to knock him off his game. The Sox RH still posted a modest ERA of 3.54 and has the stuff to produce a lot of swings and misses. Desclafani counters him and he saw his 2022 campaign derailed by injuries as well. He will be making his first start since June as he has been extremely inconsistent over the last few years. Look for Chicago to make him work early in this one, racking up his pitch count. Some trends to note, the Giants are 0-5 in the L5 vs. the White Sox, and are 1-4 in the last 5 matchups in Chicago. The White Sox are 20-7 in their last 27 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, and are 21-10 in their last 31 interleague games. The Giants are Giants are 1-6 in their last 7 interleague road games, and are 1-6 in their L7 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. We're on the White Sox -128.

04-02-23 | Phillies +116 v. Rangers | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Phillies +116 Probable Pitchers: Bailey Falter (L) vs. Martin Perez (R) Philadelphia (0-2) and Texas (2-0) battle here and we're on the Phillies to avoid the sweep. The Phillies have been let down by their pitching here early on in the season and turn to Falter to put the brakes on this. He had a modest 3.86 ERA last season and he's the kind of pitcher who will pitch to contact. Look for a lot of balls in play, but he isn't one to let up the long ball. Martin Perez counters and he does not matchup well with this Phillies lineup. They will make opposing pitchers work and try to rack up his pitch count early. Some trends to note. Rangers are 0-4 in their last 4 games vs. a left-handed starter. Rangers are 1-5 in their last 6 Sunday games. Rangers are 4-12 in their last 16 interleague home games vs. a left-handed starter. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* MLB ML Play |
