07-17-23 | Yankees v. Angels -115 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
New York Yankees at LA Angels 7:10 ET Angels over Yankees- I have been yelling about it for three months and it is that these Yankees are not a playoff team and it has more to do with the ball they play than their record. Now, the Angels most likely are not a playoff team but their expectations are not the same as New York’s aspirations. LA will send Griffin Canning (6-4, 4.62 ERA) and he is off two poor outing surrendering nine runs in eight innings suffering losses in both games. But, not many suffered more than the Yankees and their starter Luis Severino (1-4, 7.38) who lost his last two starts giving up 14 runs in just 6.1 innings while allowing 58 hits and 40 runs in only 47 innings pitched on the season. He has been so bad the Yankees will test him tonight before pulling him from the rotation. Take LA ANGELS! |

Tampa Bay at Texas 8:05 ET Rays over Rangers- These two have both leveled off in recent weeks bt are still the leaders in the clubhouse as they they might say. Texas will start Dane Dunning (8-2, 2.84 ERA) and he was roughed up in his last outing by the Nationals and suffered just his second loss. Tampa Bay will welcome back their Cy Young entree Shane McClanahan (11-1, 2.53) who will be making his first start since June 30 and he posted a 7-3 win over Texas on June 11. Tonight’s win will be even sweeter as he returns from the IL. Take TAMPA BAY! |

07-17-23 | Marlins v. Cardinals -105 | Top | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
Miami at St. Louis 7:45 ET Cardinals over Marlins- How can I possibly be thinking of betting against Jesus, I mean the guy walks on water...oops wrong Jesus. This one Lazardo (acquired from Oakland in 2021) is 8-5 with a 3.29 ERA and will be making start No. 20 leading the majors. The Dead Birds are coming alive having won their last two games against Washington and have won 4 of 5 after a pair wins over the White Sox. The Marlins took the Cardinals three straight in Miami before the Red Birds salvaged the final game 3-0. Miles Mikolas (5-5, 4.21 ERA) who has not allowed a run in his last two starts gets the nod for the Cardinals. Take ST. LOUIS! |

07-16-23 | Astros -138 v. Angels | 9-8 | Win | 100 | 17 h 3 m | Show | |
Houston at L.A. Angels 7:01 ET Astros over Angels- Houston’s starting pitcher Cristian Javier (7-1, 4.34 ERA) has gone three starts without a decision and in those three starts he has surrendered 18 earned runs in just 10.2 innings but they Rangers scored 10,10 and 12 runs to not only get him off the hook but win all three games. In last years post season he was 2-0 giving up just two hits in 13 innings with 16 strikeouts. LA will counter with Tyler Anderson (4-2, 5.25) was 15-5 with the Dodgers last year losing his last four starts and another in the playoffs. In nine seasons that is the only winning record that he has posted and pitching for the Angels is a lot different than throwing for the Dodgers. Take HOUSTON! |

07-16-23 | Dodgers v. Mets -116 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 26 m | Show |
Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets 2:10 ET Mets over Dodgers- What kind of fool am I...(if I could only sing it to you) but backing the Mets has you down $2,300 at 100 units per game this season. LA has already taken the first two games of this 3-game set and New York is currently 20-games behind Atlanta a team they tied with 101 wins last season. The Dodgers will start another of their young strong arms in former No. 1 draft pick and 24-year old rookie Bobby Miller (5-1, 4.50 ERA). He busted on the scene with three straight wins allowing just two runs in his first 24 MLB innings and then reality set in and he gave up20 runs in 21 inning but still recorded two wins as the Dodgers scored 23 runs in his last three starts. Woeful New York will send their best Max Scherzer (8-3, 4.31) looking to savage the final game of the series and he has 101 K’s in just 83 innings but has surrendered 18 home runs. If the Mets haven’t given up on the season they should be all in behind Scherzer as he has gives them their best chance to win. The NEW YORK METS! |

07-16-23 | Brewers +115 v. Reds | 4-3 | Win | 115 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Cincinnati 1:40 ET Brewers over Reds- Milwaukee hurlers have thrown three straight shutouts and the last two were Friday and Saturday in Cincinnati. It looks like the All-Star break did no favors for the Reds as they have had just three hits in their two games and a funk seems to have taken over this very young, talented and cocky club. It is something that comes over a team and no one seems to get what’s going on. This is a team to bet against and I don’t care who pitches for either side (what’s the difference they yank pitchers in the third inning for no reason anyway). I can tell you right now if the Brewers win here we will play against Cincy until they win. Take MILWAUKEE! |

07-15-23 | Marlins +103 v. Orioles | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
Miami at Baltimore 7:05 ET Marlins over Orioles- These are the two most surprising teams in baseball as the Marlins entered this series with the second most wins in the NL behind Atlanta. Baltimore also has the second best record in their league and will send Kyle Gibson (9-6, 4.60 ERA) to the mound and he has had great support from his teammates who have scored 62 runs in his last six starts. Miami will send Braxton Garrett (5-2, 3.70) out to the hill and he has allowed just nine runs in his last six starts with the Marlins winning has last eight starts. Take MIAMI! |

07-15-23 | Red Sox v. Cubs -104 | Top | 4-10 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
Boston at Chicago Cubs 2:30 ET Cubs over Red Sox- Boston has performed better than anyone has expected and they will be throwing James Paxton (5-1, 2.73 ERA) and he has been sensational willing his last five decisions while allowing just 41 hits in 56 Innings. Considering that Paton has had one one win the past two seasons with a combined ERA of 6.70 the Red Sox has pleased with his limited appearances. Chicago will send out Marcus Stroman (9-6, 2.96) who has seven straight wins in seven starts prior to has last three starts (0-2, 8.57). Boston has won nine of 10 but even with Paxton on the hill they fall short. Take CHICAGO CUBS |

07-15-23 | Padres -129 v. Phillies | 4-6 | Loss | -129 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
San Diego at Philadelphia 2:10 ET Padres over Phillies- I like the Padres in Game One of Saturday’s twin-bill (actually a day night) as long as Blake Snell (6-7, 2.85 ERA) gets the start. San Diego has the momentum and have now won six of seven while Philadelphia has turned in on and won 23 of their last 32 including an amazing 12-game road winning streak. Snell has pitched better than his record would indicate surrendering on 71 hits in 98 innings but received little support. This time around he gets it...take SAN DIEGO! |

07-14-23 | Toronto v. Montreal +6 | Top | 35-27 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
Toronto and Montreal 7:05 ET Alouettes (+) over Argonauts- Toronto is a perfect 3-0 both SU and ATS and leads the CFL in rushing averaging 137.5 YPG. But, they are fortunate to be undefeated as their defense is ranked 7th overall among the nine teams and their passing defense is ranked last. Montreal opened with a pair of wins over Ottawa and Hamilton and then dropped the next two falling to Winnipeg and British Columbia. Argonauts are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven visits to Montreal. Take ALOUETTES! |

07-14-23 | Brewers -116 v. Reds | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 17 h 37 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Cincinnati 7:05 ET Brewers over Reds- It appears that these two clubs will battle it out for the NL Central until the final weeks of the season. Milwaukee just took 2-of-3 from the Reds before the break with Cincinnati winning when Elly De La Cruz took control and made the Brewers look foolish by stealing second base and third base when no one covered the bag because of an infield shift an he raced home as the pitcher and catcher left the home plate area and Cruz beat them to home plate. Three steals on two pitches. Brewers will be more aware this time around and with Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes (7-5, 3.94 ERA) take the mound and he is 3-1 with a 2.80 ERA against the Reds. Take MILWAUKEE! |

07-14-23 | Dodgers v. Mets +115 | 6-0 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 36 m | Show | |
LA Dodgers at NY Mets 7:05 ET Mets over Dodgers- It is time for Justin Verlander (3-4, 3.60 ERA) to stand up and be counted for as he has only three wins in mid July. LA won 111 games last year a franchise record while New York won 101 game last season and tied with Atlanta. This season both are off pace with the Mets 18.5 games behind the Braves while LA just moved ahead of Arizona by one game before the break. Verlander is 3-0 with a 2.91 ERA in three regular season starts against the Dodgers and I expect him to remain undefeated against them Take NEW YORK METS! |

07-14-23 | Padres -107 v. Phillies | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 44 m | Show |
San Diego at Philadelphia 6:05 ET Padres over Phillies- Both of these clubs are looking to make strong second half moves because as of now they are both out of the payoff picture. After winning 23 of their last 32 and they are just a half-game out of the Wild Card berth. San Diego is 4-games under .500 after winning five of six before the break. The Padres will start Yu Darvish (5-6, 4.87 ERA) and he is 2-1 with an excellent ERA of 2.23 lifetime against Philadelphia. The Phils will start Cristopher Sanchez (0-2, 2.84) and the 26-year old is making his first start against the Padres. Take SAN DIEGO! |

07-13-23 | Hamilton -115 v. Edmonton Elks | 37-29 | Win | 100 | 25 h 59 m | Show | |
Hamilton at Edmonton 7:00 ET Tiger-Cats (-) over Elks- Last week I mentioned how the low end of the CFL are real dregs and this week you can see what I mean when the two worst and I mean the absolute worst in this league will meet. A close friend once said when speaking of an ugly match-up ‘there’s got to be a winner.’ So, here we are with the worse of two bad clubs so to speak or between a rock and a hard place...Okay enough of that, But, the Elks are truly terrible and average a league low 285 YPG on offense and their defense is also last allowing nearly 400 YPG. Now, Hamilton is not that much better but did post their first win last time out while the Elks gave away a game allowing three scores in the final 1:04. Win-less at home and an underdog looks tempting but I can’t do it. I expect a lot of company with the side an I usually don’t want it but...but...take HAMILTON! |

New York Mets at San Diego 4:10 ET Padres over Mets- New York’s No. 1 starter Max Scherzer (8-2, 4.01 ERA) has not been as sharp as his record might suggest. Max has had one huge problem and it has been the long ball as he has surrendered16 home runs in just 82 innings. The Mets have had the winning streak they need before the All-star break but will be up against another disappointing club in San Diego. The Padres like the Mets when for the big guns in the off season an it has yet to pay off. Maybe it starts tonight! Take SAN DIEGO! |

07-09-23 | Mariners -125 v. Astros | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
Seattle at Houston 2:10 ET Mariners over Astros- Win or lose Saturday night (Tied 2-2) I am having trouble processing the fact that the Mariners are favored at Houston Sunday. Oh I see, it is all about Seattle’s Logan Gilbert (6-5, 3.82 ERA) and the former No. 1 pick is not having his best of years but the is still hard to hit allowing just 84 hits in 104 innings. Houston will send Brandon Bielak (4-4, 3.81) and he has been very hit-able giving up 60 hits in 54 innings with 10 dingers allowed. Mariners are 6-1 against right-handers. Take SEATTLE! |
|||||||
07-09-23 | Braves v. Rays -111 | 4-10 | Win | 100 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Tampa Bay 1:40 ET Rays over Braves- You know, I want to know, how and where to the Braves come up the young pitchers year after year and I am not talking about one a season but multiple arms year after year. Now it is 23-year old Bryce Elder (7-1, 2.45 ERA) for Atlanta a fifth round pick in 2020 getting it done. For the sliding Rays it will be former Phillies right-hander Zack Eflin (9-4, 3.24) who came to Tampa Bay after seven years in the NL. The Rays haven’t won in over a week and have lost seven straight but get it done today. Take TAMPA BAY! |

Seattle at Houston 7:10 ET Mariners over Astros- The Mariners have boat loads of confidence in 23-year old rookie Bryan Woo (1-1, 4.08 ERA) drafted out of Cal Poly two years ago. In his last three starts he has given up just five runs and hasn’t allowed more than two runs in any start since his debut. Seattle has won the last five meetings and are 5-1 on the road in their last six overall. Stay with the hot hand...take SEATTLE! |

07-08-23 | Reds v. Brewers -120 | Top | 8-5 | Loss | -120 | 16 h 40 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Milwaukee 4:10 ET Brewers over Reds- I was wondering if this could possibly be the same Luke Weaver (2-2, 6.72 ERA) who couldn’t cut it with St. Louis, Arizona, KC and now Cincinnati. I wasn’t sure until I saw that he had surrendered 90 hits in 69 innings and I knew I had my man. Colin Rea (5-4, 4.40) gets the nod for Milwaukee and it really does not matter to me. Redlegs struggle as a rule against the Brewers and are 8-22 in the last 30 meetings while Brew Crew is 15-7 at home against winning teams! Take MILWAUKEE! |

The Orioles posted a win in the series opener last night scoring twice in the tenth inning for a 3-1 victory. Today they will face the Twins All-Star Sonny Gray (4-2, 2.50 ERA) and he is 6-5 with a 4.19 ERA in 13 appearances against the O’s who will send out Tyler Wells (6-4, 3.19) who is 2-0 with a 1.88 ERA in four appearances.

Cincinnati at Milwaukee 8:10 ET Brewers over Reds- Cincinnati with a shot of youth have become the most exciting team in baseball led by rookie sensation Elly De La Cruz who is absolutely thrilling to watch. Another part of the early success has come on the mound where Andrew Abbott (4-0, 1.21 ERA) has outstanding as the Reds are 6-0 in his starts. The Brewers will send out Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes (6-5, 4.00) who is seeking his second straight win for just the second time this season is 2-1 with a 2.77 ERA in 15 appearances against the Reds. Although Cincy is 18-3 on the road against right-handed starting pitchers but just 8-21 in the last 29 meetings. Take MILWAUKEE! |

St. Louis at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET Cardinals over White Sox- Both of these clubs who were expected to be on top of their respective divisions have been major disappointments and are both 15-games under .500. After a slow start and shaking off an injury lefty Jordan Montgomery (6-7, 3.28 ERA) is 4-1 with a 1.66 ERA in his last even starts and 2-0 with a 2.22 ERA in four career starts against the White Sox.

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

But, ‘mojo’ and karma are things that can and do happen during a long, long 162-game season. Entering his third season with New York right-hander Carlos Carrasco (2-3, 5.94 ERA) is off a 15-7 year in 2022 and is looking to recapture some of that magic. Arizona will send Ryan Nelson (5-4, 4.67) to the hill and he has had two straight great performances allowing the Angels and Giants only three hits each in seven plus innings.

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

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

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

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

Right-hander Jon Gray (6-4, 3.21) will take the hill for Texas and he is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his one career start against the Red Sox.

Okay, that really has no baring on Shohei Ohtani (7-3, 3.02 ERA) and 12 strikeout per nine innings starts for the Angels. LA who appears to a real contender but once again must be playing without the ‘greatest’ player who never won anything ‘Mickey’ Trout who is begging out now that the Angels have a chance.

This might seem a bit odd and it is other than the Lions are 3-0 and have had three impressive dominating wins. Toronto has a five-yard average offensive advantage but, the BC defense hold a 115-yard per game advantage and that is significant. The Argo’s will rely on a strong run and and stout defense against the run but fall short on both sides of the ball when it is put in the air. Take BRITISH COLUMBIA! |

Hey, but beating the Yankees with a revenue pitcher on the mound might have them headed in the right direction. One who definitely is headed in the wrong direction is today's starter for the Cardinals Miles Mikolas (4-5, 4.44 ERA) allowing five or more runs in three of his last four starts. But, he is 3-1 with a 272 ERA in eight appearances against Miami. The Marlins as usual come up with arms and have another one on the hill today in Braxton Garrett (4-2, 3.53) who has a 1.98 ERA in his last nine starts covering 50 innings, but he is just 0-1 with a 7.00 ERA against he Cardinals allowing14 hits in nine innings.

Tampa Bay at Seattle 4:10 ET Mariners over Rays- The Mariners who were expected to contend in the AL West are still struggling to reach .500 while Tampa Bay has been hitting (literally) on all cylinders since Opening Day. Seattle is strong favorites here as Luis Castillo (5-6, 2.86 ERA) takes the hill and it is about time he received the support that he has earned. He just broke a 4-game personal losing streak where he had six starts and did not surrender three runs but once and had six quality starts. Tampa Bay has cooled off some and pitching could hamper their efforts. Tai Bradley (5-4, 4.58) has been inconsistent and gave up seven runs in four innings against Arizona last time out.

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

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

His dominance over Cleveland is profound as he is 2-0 without allowing a run in two career starts.

The chant then before free agency was ‘break-up the Yankees.’ Now, they are chanting the same mantra but this time they want to jettison everyone but Aaron Judge out...including most importantly Brain Cashman the GM who has produced only one championship in 23 years and has spent more money on inept players than any other MLB franchise (i.e.-Stanton .179 BA). New York’s Gerrit Cole (8-1, 2.64 ERA) will be opposed by another former Yankees hurler and an All-star team mate to be this season in the Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi (9-3, 2.80). The Yankees are no longer the Bronx Bombers (especially with Judge out) and with the lowest BA with men-on-base they are more like duds at the plate.

The Giants on the other have reached double-digits with their current win streak now looking for their eleventh straight victory. Well, if you think San Fran is hot check out the Padres starter Blake Snell (3-6, 3.48 ERA) who was infamously removed from a post season game having surrendered only one hit at the time and has not been the same since then.

He leads the majors in innings pitched and he has thrown 98 pitches or more in 13 of his last 14 starts. he averages a strikeout an inning and has allowed just 80 hits in his 95 inning work. I do not like when raid out affect my game schedules as Atlanta just keeps turning out young studs like the starter today Bryce Elder (4-1, 2.69) is not old enough to drink in most states and he is making his 14th of this season. Not bad so far, allowing just 69 hits in 77 innings but it will not be good enough tonight. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Texas at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET White Sox over Rangers- Chicago’s Michael Kopech (3-5, 3.92 ERA) has thrown 78 innings allowing just 60 hits with 89 strikeouts. This is nothing new as last season in 119 innings he surrendered only 85 hits. But with weak support he has not won since May 24 in a 6-0 shut out of Cleveland. Texas starter Martin Perez (6-3, 4.54) is on the other prospective as the Astros have giving him huge support. He allowed 90 hits in 77 innings with just 54 strikeouts. Rangers are 10-17 in the last 27 games in Chicago. Take the WHITE SOX! |

That was yesterday and yesterday is gone and so are the Yanks chances here as Jhoney Brito (3-3, 5.58 ERA) makes his tenth start. Luis Castillo (4-4, 2.70) has some nasty stuff and the mini-bombers can not catch-up. Take SEATTLE! |

San Diego at San Francisco 9:45 ET Padres over Giants- There sure have been some disappointments this season the Mets, the Cardinals, the White Sox and the biggest of them all the San Diego Padres.

Tonight a pair of journeymen will face off as Seth Lugo (3-3, 4.10 ERA) who spent seven years as a NY Mets reliever with make his ninth start of the year for San Diego. For San Francisco it will be Anthony DeSclafani (4-6, 4.31) who has been roughed up in his three June starts giving up 12 earned runs in 12 innings.

Texas at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET White Sox over Rangers- Baseball is such a game of streaks not only for teams but for individual players as well. We recently have seen the A’s and Reds two very weak teams pull off long winning streaks and usually another streak follows and in the other direction. Nathan Eovaldi (9-3, 2.59 ERA) may be the victim as he just had an eight game winning streak end despite pitching well against the Angles last Thursday (Power Play loss). At 12-games under .500 Chicago is a major disappointment in the AL Central and will send a negative streaker in Dylan Cease (3-3, 4.31) whose White Sox have lost seven of his nine starts whether is receives a decision or not. Cease is 3-0 with a 2.66 ERA in four career starts against the Rangers and Eovaldi is 2-2 with a 5.57 ERA in five games against the Pale Hose. This time it is the WHITE SOX! |

Arizona at Milwaukee 8:10 ET Brewers over Diamondbacks- Arizona who still leads the NL West took no prisoners winning 9-1 in Milwaukee yesterday showing the Central Division champs what a true contender plays like. The D’backs took out the Brewers ace in Corbin Burnes and will try and do the same to Colin Rea (3-4, 4.71 ERA) who will be opposed by Ryne Nelson (3-4, 5.30) in a match-up that should be high scoring. The Brewers hold a huge home field advantage over Arizona going 13-3 in the last 16 meetings as hosts. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET Cubs over Pirates- The Cubs who started the year winning 18 of their first 26 hit a lull and now are playing their best ball of the season winning eight of their last 10. One strong reason for Chicago’s surge is direct result of the work by starter on Tuesday Marcus Stroman (8-4, 2.45 ERA) and their angry hurler is having his best career run. He has posted six straight wins with a 1.512 ERA during that span. Johan Oviedo (3-6, 4.40) starts for the Pirates and he is 1-3 with a 4.38 ERA against Chicago in eight career appearances. Cubs are 5-0 in the last five meetings and 4-1 at Pittsburgh. take the CUBS! |

Boston at Minnesota 7:40 ET Twins over Red Sox- Break-up the Red Sox! After a 3-game and double-header sweep of the Yankees, Boston must now take to the road where their fortunes different than playing at Fenway Park. The Red Sox hit 70-points higher at home than on the road and after their glorious weekend they will be caught floating on that cloud nine they talk about. Left-hander James Paxton (2-1, 3.09 ERA) gets the nod for the visitors and he has had limited action because of Tommy John surgery and he is 3-1, 3.17 ERA lifetime against the Twins. Minnesota will start Pablo Lopez (3-3, 4.27) and he is making his first career start against the Red Sox and he wins it. Take MINNESOTA! |

Hamilton at Toronto 7:00 ET Tiger-Cats (-) over Argonauts- There is some thing really, really wrong here as the defending CFL Grey Cup Champions are underdogs in their season opener at home. Toronto was the last man standing in the CFL defeating Winnipeg 24-23 holding the powerful Blue Bombers offense to just 286 offensive yards in the championship game. Tigers-Cats have a game under their belt and was trashed by the same Blue Bombers last week. Take HAMILTON! |

They are sending Yonny Chirinos (3-1, 2.35 ERA) to the mound are he has been outstanding in his limited action allowing just 24 hits in 38 innings. San Diego will send Joe Musgrove (4-2, 4.37) and his high-lite is that he has 47 strikeouts in 47 innings. The Padres are starting his hit which is long overdue. Take SAN DIEGO! |

Tampa Bay at San Diego 7:10 ET Padres over Rays- This one we should have thoughts about as the struggling Padres will send former Rays Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell (2-6, 3.78 ERA) who has been just a shell of himself since being removed in the 2020 playoffs. But, pitching against his former team will give him incentive as it was a bitter parting in 2021. Tampa Bay will start Zach Eflin (8-1, 2.97) who after seven years with the Phillies seems to have found himself this season. There is trouble in Diego as the Rays are not only 22-6 against lefties but 6-1 in the last seven meetings. As bad as the Padres appear at times they are 6-1 after a loss. Take SAN DIEGO! |

Edmonton at British Columbia 7:00 ET Lions (-) over Elks- What we have come to see so far in CFL play is that with offenses having only three downs to make a first down, teams with the better offenses have an even better chance for victory by bigger margins. Edmonton does not move the ball while l gaining just 275 total yards and with only 73 rushing. BC put up 25 points and 423 yards as an underdog (+2.5) against Calgary in their opener. Elks are 2-8 ATS vs. the West and 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings. Take BRITISH COLUMBIA! |

Keller is 0-2 with a 3.98 ERA in four career starts against Milwaukee while the Pirates have gone 14-26 since winning 20 of their first 28 games.

Chicago White Sox at Seattle 10:10 ET White Sox over Mariners- Both of these clubs have been a disappointment to their supporters this season and can only hope for a surge the rest of the season. The White Sox are starting to heat up despite their dreadful loss to the Dodgers last night after blowing a 4-0 lead. Chicago will send Michael Kopech (3-5, 4.03 ERS) who has deserved better fate allowing just 54 hits in 74 innings and believe me that is good, more than very good. Seattle will send rookie Bryan Woo (0-1, 10.80) to the hill and he does have 11 K’s in 6.2 innings. But, it is the White Sox tonight. Take CHICAGO! |

Winnipeg at Saskatchewan 9:00 ET Blue Bombers (-) over Roughriders- The top offense in the CFL showed no signs of weakness in their 499 yard outing against Hamilton on June 9 and I expect more of the same here. The Bombers had a 233 yards gained advantage over the tigers-cats while the Roughriders were squeaking by Edmonton gaining only 314 total yards. Take WINNIPEG! |

Toronto at Texas 8:05 ET Blue Jays over Rangers- The odds makers must be messing with my head a bit as they insist on making the Blue Jays favored in difficult spots and they seem to always fall short when I was sucked in. I hate betting this team but i still believe that they are winners tonight. To start with Texas has fallen back of late dropping six of their last eight games and they will be facing Toronto’s top hurler in Kevin Gausman 5-3, 3.12 ERA) who is 4-2 with a 3.88 ERA against the Rangers in nine starts. Martin Perez (6-2, 4.67) will get the nod for the Rangers and he has had the best run support of all Texas pitchers while surrendering 87 hits in just 71 innings . Take TORONTO! |

NY Yankees at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Yankees- This will be just the second series between baseball’s bitterest of all rivalries as the Red Sox host the Yankees after taking 2-of-3 in last weekend’s series at Yankee Stadium. Tanner Houch (3-6, 5.23 ERA) gets the start for Boston and he has fared better against the Yankees than the rest MLB as he is 2-2 with a 2.41 ERA in 10 appearances against New York. The Bronx Bombers (not without Judge) will start Domingo German (4-34, 3.49) who is 3-2 with a 3.64 ERA against the Sox and he has allowed two runs or less in six of seven starts. But, it is the Red Sox that are 17-5 at home against teams with winning records. Take BOSTON! |

06-15-23 | Angels v. Rangers -129 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -129 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
LA Angels at Texas 7:10 ET Rangers over Angels- Okay, this one should be good as MKB will showcase its biggest attraction since Babe Ruth in Shohei Othani (5-2, 3.88 ERA) who has a legitimate shot before it is over to win both the Cy Young and MVP and it could possibly happen in the same season. But, I truly do not believe it is happening this right now. He starts for the Angels tonight but his overall number from the hill are not as awesome as his a at the plate (leads majors with 21 home runs). The man that will attempted to cool Othani down is Nathan Eovaldi (9-2, 2.49) who will probably steal the CY tonight as he mows this Angels down. He has surrendered just 68 hits in 87 innings pitched. Rangers have the 2nd best record in baseball to Tampa Bay and they have scored the most runs, and more tonight off the hard throwing right-hander. Take TEXAS! |

Philadelphia at Arizona 3:40 ET Phillies over DBacks- Philadelphia is beginning to play like the team that won the NL Pennant last season and have won nine of their last 10 as their bats have come alive. The Phillies have scored 34 runs in their last four games and will be sending their No. 1 starter to the hill as Aaron Nola (5-5, 4.60 ERA) who gave up a season high for hits and runs in his last start and the outing before that he surrendered just one hit in eight innings. Arizona will send Ryan Nelson (3-3, 4.95) to the mound and he also carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning against Detroit his last time out. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Philadelphia at Arizona 9:40 ET Phillies over Diamondbacks- Liking to come back with the 15-3 Power Play winner we had yesterday and looking for Philadelphia to subdue this ratters. Arizona is a team of streaks as they had their six-game run stopped last night after taking down Phillie in Game 1 of this four game series. Tonight’s starter for the Dbcks Merrill Kelly (8-3, 2.94 ERA) is looking for his eighth straight winning decision and is 1-1 with a 1.98 ERA against the Phillies.

The Yanks who usually are an all-or-nothing team from the plate and Tuesday all nine starters had hits and with two home runs. The aces of the staff for both clubs will start tonight with Gerrit Cole (7-1, 2.84 ERA) on the bump for the visitor and Justin Verlander (2-3, 4.85) on the hill for the Mets.

Philadelphia at Arizona 11:00 ET Phillies over Diamondbacks- Before the season began we had to write previews of the upcoming season and I stated the Arizona could show the most improvement but, I really never expected them to have the best record in the NL up to this point. So, now that they have the best record in the NL and immediately become a home underdog. Philadelphia will be starting Zack Wheeler (4-4, 3.91 ERA) and he had a no-hit bid end after 7.1 innings in his last start against Detroit . Despite yesterday’s loss the Phillies have won 7-of-9.

Florida at Las Vegas 8:00 ET Golden Knights (ML) over Panthers- It is just the way it is this season in sports where the playoffs don’t bring much excitement to America excepting in the home cities. Many have the let us get this over with attitude and like the Heat in Miami the Panthers will not survive in the desert. The anomie that Florida got this far defeating record points making Boston and being so close to elimination and like Miami their season with end after five games in the finals. The Golden Knights skate better and best just not fall into the Panthers taunting and rough play.

Toronto at Baltimore 7:05 ET Blue Jays over Orioles- This seems a bit strange to me as Baltimore has the second best record in the AL behind Tampa Bay of course and yet they are underdogs at home to the Blue Jays who they hold a 10-game lead over. This seems even more bogus when you realize that the Orioles have won their last four games. To point out more oddities we see Baltimore going 20-12 at home while Blue Jays are just 18-17 on the road. Blue Jays are 5-2 at Baltimore in the last seven. Take TORONTO! |

Miami at Seattle 9:40 ET Mariners over Marlins- A couple of sea-farers here with one club exceeding expectations and the other like a low tide coming up short. Miami has won 12 of 15 and are 17-5 in one-run games. The Mariners were supposed to contend for the AL West Division but have yet to reach their so called potential. The Marlins will send lefty Jesus Luzardo (5-4, 3.79 ERA) to the bump and he is 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA in five4 appearances against the Sea-birds.Seattle will start Bryce Miller (3-3, 4.46) who was cruising along this season until having to face to Yankees and Ranges in consecutive starts and everything changed. Before those two outings where he gave up 15 earned runs in just seven innings to boost his ERA from 1.60 to where it is now. The Marlins line-up is certainly a step down from those two hitting clubs. Mariners are 13-3 at home against left-handed starters. Take SEATTLE! |

Miami at Denver 8:30 ET Heat (+) over Nuggets- It is Do or Die for the Heat with their 3-point shots as that is they only way they can stay alive against the Nuggets in Denver . The points are generous and well they should as them Mile High Guys look and play much better even at sea level (which after forty years is still not rising...Al Gore). From what i have seen I can not see the Heat winning this game but at the same time I believe that their intensity will be at the max. The South Beach boys have responded throughout most when little was expected of them and that is what I am expecting here. Although the 9-points or so is temping to take on a team that will be making their last salvo if eliminated. Take MIAMI! |
