Texas at Detroit 7:10 ET Rangers over Tigers- Go figure! Detroit closes the first have of the season with four straight losses to the Twins and then opens the second half with a 3-game sweep of Minnesota. Texas meanwhile was swept in double-header at Toronto managing just three hits in both seven inning games. The Tigers will start Casey Mize (5-5, 3.59 ERA) who hasn't allowed more then three runs in any of his last 13 starts. The Rangers will go with Kyle Gipson (6-1, 2.29) whose only loss came against Mize in Arlington. Texas is 25-9 in their last 34 games against the Tigers including 20-8 in the Motor City. Take TEXAS! |

Miami at Philadelphia 6:05 ET Marlins over Phillies- These two squads split a twin-bill Friday with Miami winning the second game 7-0 as the Phillies managed just a pair of hits. Philadelphia will send inconsistent Vince Velasquez (3-4, 5.35 ERA) to the mound and he is 6-4 with an ERA of 4.19 in 19 starts against the Marlins. Miami will start rookie Zach Thompson (2-2, 2.25) who spent seven years in the White Sox farm system and is making the best of his opportunity and is facing the Phillies for the first time. The Marlins are 5-1 in their last five against right-handed starters but just 6-16 in their last 22 road games. Still, it's MIAMI! |

Toronto at Tampa Bay 1:10 ET Blue Jays over Rays- Tampa Bay like the 'A' Play is seeking their 7th straight win and they are an underdog at home and that seems a bit off to me The Blue Jays are favored on the road but haven't played a home game in two years as it is. Toronto as they haven played a game in Canada in over two years. But, the Blue birds are favored here. It doesn't figure...Take TORONTO! |

New York Yankees at Houston 7:10 ET Yankees over Astros- 'Spin rate'...that's the word surrounding Geritol Cole (8-4, 2.91 ERA) who seems to be more affected by the 'new' rules enforcement concerning foreign substances that most. In his last two starts he has been roughed for nine runs in just 8.1 innings getting racked by the Mets and Red Sox and he faces the best hitting team in MLB. Houston will start the nervous Zack Greinke (8-2, 3.64) who realizes this is a 'big' series, it's the first visit to Houston for the Yankees since the Astros signal stealing cheating scandal. Yankees get more revenge. Take NEW YORK! |

Cincinnati at Milwaukee 7:10 ET Reds over Brewers- Here I go again looking for the Reds to make up for spoiling what could have been a MLB sweep as the Megabucks and Power Player were winners. So, when a club starts their best I feel more confident backing them and today Cincinnati will start Wade Miley (6-4, 3.16 ERA) on the hill and his opposition will be Eric Laura (3-3, 4.11) who has allowed just six hits in his last 12.1 innings of work but walked six as control is still his biggest nemesis. Reds entered this series with five straight wins at Milwaukee and are 16-6 on Fridays (HA!). Take CINCINNATI! |

Kansas City at Cleveland 7:10 ET Indians over Royals- Neither of these two clubs were expected to contend for the AL title but they both are looking like they will exhaust any chance they might have had they way they are playing now. Cleveland has lost nine straight while Kansas City has dropped 12 of their last 15. The Royals will start Danny Duffy (4-3, 2.60 ERA) and the veteran lefty has struggled against the tribe lifetime going 5-13 with a 4.81 ERA in 25 career appearances. Meanwhile, Cleveland starter Dan Plesac (4-3, 4.14) has dominated the Royals in six career starts going 5-0 with a 1.83 ERA) Take the INDIANS! |

N.Y. Yankees at Seattle 10:10 ET Yankees over Mariners- The Bronx Bombers have been ready to explode for a while now and it is happening fight now, too bad for Seattle who held the Wild Card lead over New York before this series started but it won't end that way. The Yankees heavy laden lineup will start nine right-handed batters (as they always do as that's all they have) and they will face Seattle's lone All-Star Yusei Kikuchi (6-3, 3.18 ERA) who has a 2-year career record of 8-15 with a 5.39 ERA and is 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA against New York. The Yankees will start the struggling Domingo German (4-5, 4.50) but is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA against Seattle. New York has dominated the Mariners over the years going 35-17 at Seattle and are 43-19 in the last 62 meetings. Take the YANKEES! |

07-06-21 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks -124 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
Colorado at Arizona 9:10 ET Diamondbacks over Rockies- The 23-63 Diamondbacks are favored and even at home that shouldn't be as they are 13-27 when playing as hosts. Maybe it's starter Merrill Kelly (5-7, 4.67 ERA) 89 K's and only 25 walks in 98.1 innings because their lineup is nothing to fear, as this team is challenging the 1960 inaugural New York Mets season played at the Polo Grounds and they were 40-120 .250 with a pair of games that weren't made up. But, this Colorado team is one of the worst even on the road and are 6-31 including a 23-game away losing streak. Jon Gray (5-6, 3.89) takes the hill for the Rockies and he is 4-3 with a 3.86 ERA at Chase Field but are 1-6 in last seven games when underdogs. Take ARIZONA! |

Chicago White Sox at Minnesota 7:10 ET Twins over White Sox- Let just say that the third time is a charm. Minnesota will send Bailey Ober (0-1, ERA) to the mound against the White Sox for the third time in seven starts this season as he took the loss last Wednesday and has an 11.81 ERA against the Chisox. Chicago 8-1 this season against and will start Dylan Cease (7-3, 3.75) who is 1-2 with a 7.54 ERA in five career start against the Twins. Minnesota is the two-time defending Central Division champs and trail the Pale Hose by 14.5 games. The White Sox are 2-7 in their last nine road games and are 10-23 on the road against right handed starters while the Twins are 13-6 over the Sox in the last 19 games at home. Take MINNESOTA! |

San Diego at Philadelphia 1:5 ET Padres over Phillies- After opening this series with the Phillies and a win 'we' passed on them Saturday and they won without 'us'! Well, not this time, nope they are not going to suck me in after missing Saturday's win that WE will collect with Black Snell (3-3, 5.29 ERA) who found himself last time out shutting out the Dodgers over five innings allowing just four hits with 5-K's. Streaking Phillies have won their last two while San Diego has dropped three straight. A guy I like for who knows what reasons will start for the home team as Vince Velasquez (3-2, 4.22) takes the hill. My main man Vince is off his best performance of the season (by far) going seven innings allowing no runs on just two with 7-K's and NO walks...yep that why I like him but, inconsistency has been his trademark and I don't expect him do as well Sunday. Take SAN DIEGO! |

07-03-21 | Cardinals -107 v. Rockies | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -107 | 20 h 32 m | Show |
St. Louis at Colorado 9:10 ET Cardinals over Rockies- St. Louis is at the point where they will try 14-year veteran Wade LeBlanc who is with his 12th different team (although he was with Seattle twice). The 37 year-old lefty is 46-48 lifetime and has already been with two teams this season starting the year with the Orioles. Colorado's Kyle Freeland (1-2, 6.54) (34-34 lifetime) has not developed they way the Rockies had hoped, although both these guys give up more hits than innings pitched, I think at this time LeBlanc might be better at getting more hitters to miss. Red Birds are 23-11 as favorites and 47-20 last 60 meetings while Colorado is 19-7 at home and 8-2 at home against a left-hander. This will be a team victory for the Cardinals. Take ST. LOUIS! |

L.A. Dodgers at Washington 7:05 ET Dodgers over Nationals- Streaks are a major part of baseball over the long season and the Dodgers have won seven in-a-row while Washington is off a 14-3 run in their previous 17 games prior to last night's rain shortened 6-2 loss to L.A. The Nationals will send Max Scherzer (7-4, 2.14 ERA) to the mound and he has given up more than two runs just twice this season in 15 starts but has had poor support especially at home where he has loss his last three starts. The Dodgers will start Julio Urias (9-3, 3.95) who with that ERA and nine wins has received plenty of support when hurling. LA is 4-0 against the Nats this season and have outscored them 19-7. Oddsmakers have Scherzer an underdog at home and that speaks volumes. Take LOS ANGELES! |

San Diego at Cincinnati 7:10 ET Reds over Padres- The Padres swept a 4-game series earlier this season against the Reds in San Diego and can sweep this 3-game set and the season series in Cincinnati with a win tonight. The Padres will go with left-hander Ryan Weathers (3-2, 2.47 ERA) who will make his ninth start and 15th appearance of the season. The Reds will counter with the hottest pitcher in their rotation as Luis Castillo (3-10, 5.14) gets the call in the series finale. The right-hander finished June with a 2-2 record and a 1.71 ERA in five starts. Over five starts in the month, he was 2-2 with a 1.71 ERA. One of the losses was to the Padres in a 3-2 game on June 20. Castillo surrendered three runs (two earned) in six innings. Take the REDS! |

L.A. Angels at N.Y. Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Angles- The Yankees' bats came alive yesterday as they banged out three homers and 11 hits in their 11-5 victory over the Angels as they produced a season high for runs and hits. Today L.A. will start Shohei 'The Nippon Babe' Ohtani (3-1, 2.58 ERA) on the hill against the Bronx Bombers and his fastball averages 95.4 MPH as he makes his 12th start of the season. Ohtani will hit for himself as the MLB Home Run leader (28) will take swings for himself. New York will start Domingo German (4-5, 4.32) who has a six start winless streak working since shutting out Texas on May 20 and is 0-3 with a 6.28 ERA in his last six starts and hasn't gotten past the fifth inning in his past three starts. But, he is 1-0 with a 0.82 ERA in three career appearances against the Angels. Take NEW YORK! |

Miami at Philadelphia 7:05 ET Marlins over Phillies- One of the best kept secrets in baseball is the talents that take the mound for the Miami Marlins and one of their best is Trevor Rodgers (7-4, 2.08 ERA) whose teammates have dropped four of his last five starts although he has given up three runs once in his last 11 starts while surrendering just 62 hits in 87 innings of work this season. Philadelphia will send out Vince Velasquez (2-2, 4.74) who has himself shown signs of brilliance giving up just 47 hits in 57 innings but has allowed 10 home runs and 33 walks and average of more than 5.6 per nine innings. Marlins are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings including 5-2 in the last seven meetings in Philly. Take MIAMI! |

Kansas City at Texas 2:35 ET Royals over Rangers- If 'chicks really do dig the long ball' they should squirm when the Rangers' Jordan Lyles (2-5, 5.47 ERA) takes the mound. They should be in the mood soon as he has surrendered 16 home runs already this season while giving up 90 hits in just 77.1 innings. With a career record of 46-71, an ERA of 5.24 and a WHIP of 1.45 he is very hittable and that is what the Royals need right now as they are struggling having lost 15 of their last 19 games. Kansas City who has a horrendous record of only seven wins in the last 32 meetings including 16-37 at Texas. The Royals will send Brady Singer (3-5, 4.77) to the mound and he hasn't been at his best this season but he surrenders less than one homer a game and he has been throwing better of late. Take KANSAS CITY! |

Atlanta at Cincinnati 4:10 ET Reds over Braves- Interesting matchup of a pair of clubs that are struggling to keep their heads above water with the Braves who have yet to reach .500 this season at Cincinnati who is at .500 after a loss to Atlanta last night. Cincinnati will start right-hander Luis Castillo (2-10, 5.61 ERA) who is making his 16th start of the season while the Braves will send Ian Anderson (5-3, 3.33 ERA) to the hill. Castillo who has a 1st inning ERA 11.40 and 4.21 from that point and started the year 1-8 with a 7.22 ERA in his first 11 starts and is 1-2 with a 2.19 ERA in June holding opponents to a .155 average. Atlanta is just 3-7 I their last 10 road games and 2-5 after a win while going 1-5 in their last six as underdogs. The Reds meanwhile are 6-1 as favorites including 5-0 as home favorites.

N.Y. Yankees at Boston 7:10 ET Yankees over Red Sox- The last time these two bitter rivals met the Red Sox swept a 3-game set at Yankee Stadium. But, this time around it is New York that has the 'mojo' as they have won 7-of-9 and their last three series as they are starting to hit the ball the way it has been expected. Domingo German (4-4, 4.17 ERA) gets the start for New York and he had no decision against Boston in that series holding the Red Sox to one run and three hits in 5.2 innings. Boston after a great start is beginning to come back to the pack trading water going 10-11 in their last 21 games. The Sox will start Martin Perez (5-4, 4.32) who has given up 12 runs in his last three starts covering 15 innings. Surrendering four homers. Despite the 3-game swept in NY the Red Sox are just 9-23 in the last 32 meetings including 5-1 in their last six at Fenway Park. Take the YANKEES! |

Boston at Tampa Bay 7:10 ET Rays over Red Sox- The Rays finally got off the snide yesterday winning 8-2 over the Red Sox ending their 7-game losing streak. Today they will try and continue a win streak by sending Michael Wacha (1-2, 5.19 ERA) to the hill as he tries to regain his past All-Star form. But, his stats say it won't happen as he surrenders more hits than innings pitched and averages only 5.5 K's per nine innings. Boston will start Nick Pivetta (6-3, 4.36) and he is 0-3 in June with an ERA of 5.66 as he has surrendered six home runs in his last three starts after allowing just three in his first 11 outings. Tampa is 14-3 in their last 17 games against division opponents. Take the RAYS! |

San Diego has been outstanding at home winning 27 of 41 games including 22-6 in their last 28 and they have won six of the last seven meetings. Los Angeles is 0-5 in their last five road games as underdogs and Bauer is 1-4 lifetime against the Padres. Take SAN DIEGO! |

Atlanta at N.Y. Mets 7:10 ET Braves over Mets- After making a run for the NL pennant last year the Braves have yet to show the form that vaulted them into the Championship series against the Dodgers and they trail the Mets by 7-games this season. So it seem a bit off that Atlanta is made a small favorite at New York will will start Marcus Stroman (6-5, 2.34 ERA) who pitched at least six innings in eight straight starts and he is 4-0 with a 1.88 ERA in four career starts against the Braves. Atlanta will start Charlie Morton (6-3, 4.03) and he is 1-3 with a 3.52 ERA in nine starts against New York. This 'price' doesn't look right to me...take ATLANTA! |

Cleveland at Chicago Cubs 8:05 ET Cubs over Indians- What's left of the Cleveland Indians rotation is hurting and have a very unique situation with their starting rotation. The team has 39 wins and they have only three pitchers that have more than one win. With Bieber (7-4) and Plesac (4-3) on the IL it leaves just Aaron Civale (10-2, 3.48 ERA) as the three starters have accounted for 21 wins. Chicago will start Adbert Alzolay (4-5, 4.06) who is getting his first start coming off the IL and has pitched much better at home where he has a 3.40 ERA and where the Cubs have won his last four starts, Chicago splits have them 24-12 at home while the Indians are 1-4 in their last five road games.

But, things have turned since Friday as the Pirates put up 17 runs taking the two meetings. Cleveland is send left-hander Sam Hentges (1-1, 7.57 ERA) to the hill and he will face right-hander JT Brubaker (4-5, 3.88). The Indians have struggled on the road in inter-league play going 2-8 in their last 10 games and are 1-5 last six against righties. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Miami at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Marlins over Cubs- To start with this 'price' is way out of line when you consider that Miami is 14-25 on the road while then Cubs are 24-11 at home. Chicago is a meager -120 and it really doesn't make much sense until you look and see what the starting pitchers have done lately. Cubs starter Jake Arrieta (5-7, 5.14 ERA) is slumping and is 0-3 with a 7.47 ERA in his last four starts but, he is 8-1 with a 3.64 ERA in 12 career starts against Miami. The Marlins just ended a 4-game losing streak and will send Pablo Lopez (2-4, 3.12) to the hill and he has pitched in hard luck so far this season but things turn for him here. Take MIAMI! |

He has managed to throw three innings only once in his last six starts and is averaging just 2.1 innings and 32 pitches per start. Seattle will send lefty Yusei Kikuchi (3-3, 3.67) to the mound and he is off a 7-inning shutout of Cleveland and he has allowed just 54 hits in 74 innings with 75 strike outs.

Chicago is sending Dylan Cease (5-2, 3.38 ERA) to the hill against Houston's Jose Urquidy (4-3, 3.77) and both have been impressive at times. Both of them have allowed 10 less hits than innings pitched and their K-to-BB ratio is 55-11 for Jose and 83-22 for Dylan. Astros tough at home against right-handers going 81-38 last 119 and are 6-2 against the white Sox. Take HOUSTON! |

Minnesota at Seattle 10:10 ET Twins over Mariners- I know, I know, I heard ya but I've got to back this kid Bailey Ober (0-0, 4.85 ERA) who has 15 K's in 13 innings out of Triple-A where he struck-out 100 batters while walking just nine. Don't you want to root for this kid! Why else wound this broken down bum of a team be favored on the road. Seattle starter Justin Sheffield (5-5, 4.91) has struggled in his sophomore season as he has surrendered 69 hits in 58.2 innings (not too good). I'm taking the Twins and I understand your having reservations about but just think if the kids any good we'll ride him the rest of the season and maybe some will catch life...MINNESOTA. |

Cincinnati at Milwaukee 8:10 ET Reds over Brewers- I've got to say one thing about Cincinnati starter Luis Castillo (2-9, 6.47 ERA) and that is when he takes the mound he gets a decision. He had lost seven straight starts before defeating St. Louis and then was beaten last time out by these same Brewers while allowing just one hit in 5.2 innings. As a matter of fact he has allowed just four hits in his last 12 innings of work and the Reds have won six straight on the road. Milwaukee has the pitching but their lineup hasn't produced the runs needed and are just 3-7 when playing teams with winning records. Take CINCINNATI! |

Tampa Bay at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET Rays over White Sox- The AL's two best go head-to-head in Chicago where Tampa Bay will be entertained by the White Sox. The Rays have played one more game a win that makes 42 while the White Sox have 41 wins and both have lost 24, so for this game to be a Pick'em is fair enough. Chicago is an AL best 25-10 at home and will send Lance Lynn (7-1, 1.37 ERA) to the mound and he'll be opposed by the Rays might-righty Tyler Glasnow (5-2, 2.57) who starts for the best road team in the league at 23-10. TB 10-2 in their last 12 against teams with winning records and they are 5-1 in their last six games in Chicago. Tough to go against Lynn but it's...TAMPA BAY! |

Houston at Minnesota 7:10 ET Twins over Astros- One of the most disappointing MLB clubs this season has to be the Twins who are currently 13-games under 500 and are just 13-20 at home. Today they will host the best offensive team in baseball as the Astros lead the Majors in batting, runs, OPS and fewest strikeouts. Minnesota who has had a power failure this season after leading the AL in homers last season is 29th of 30 in pitching runs allowed, home runs allowed 27th and 29th in opponents OPS. The Twins lone bright spot in their rotation has been Jose Barrios (6-2, 3.58 ERA) who has won his last four decisions and has allowed just 59 hits in 70.1 innings of work. Take MINNESOTA! |

So, the Indians will start Jean Carlos Mejia (1-0, 0.00 ERA) who has yet to allow a run in eight innings work in five relief appearances surrendering just three hits. St. Louis will counter with veteran starter Adam Wainwright (3-5, 4.19) who has been banged around in his last two starts while the Red Birds are playing dead and have lost their last six games and are 4-7 in Wainwright's 11 starts this season. The Tribe have won 4-of-5 meetings in St. Louis and are 8-3 in their last 11 games as underdogs while the Cards are 3-10 against teams with winning records. Take CLEVELAND! |

After winning 9-of-10 Chicago has dropped three straight to San Francisco as their pitching has faltered. It seems a bit odd that the Cubs be favored on the road in SF after losing three straight as the Giants are 18-8 at home. Hendricks is 4-0 with a 2.60 ERA in his last four starts while Cueto is 9-9 lifetime with a 3.41 ERA against the baby bears. Seems odd but take CHICAGO! |

What I don't understand is how do the bookies make this a pick-em matchup when the Cardinals are 14-3 in their last 17 as favorites which they will be by game time. Matt Peacock (1-1, 4.91 ERA) has had one bad outing surrendering seven runs but otherwise has been very effective. He's making his third straight start and is off his best performance of the season allowing one run in 5+ innings against the Dodgers. Carlos Martinez (3-4, 4.18) gets the start for St. Louis and he has won three straight decisions which makes this 'price' even more inviting. I'm not falling for it or am being 'suckered.'

Starting pitching is the strongest factor as Philadelphia will send Zack Wheeler (3-2, 2.83 ERA) to the mound and is 20 starts against the Nationals he is a meager 6-11 with a 4.64 ERA. One should consider that these starts against the Nat's were when they had a line-up that was postseason worthy, not so much any more. Veteran left-hander Jon Lester (0-1, 2.70) gets the nod for Washington and he has dominated the Phillies when pitching for the Cubs going 8-1 with a 1.92 ERA in 11 starts.

I look for the Phillies to bounce back with Aaron Nola (3-1, 2.89 ERA) on the mound while Atlanta will start Hiascar Ynoa (3-1, 2.36) who hit a grand slam of his own last time out.

Oakland at Tampa Bay 1:10 ET Rays over A's- Tampa Bay seems able to put out a quality team on the field no matter who has come and gone and will send first time starter Shane McClanahan to the hill and he will be making his regular season MLB debut. Actually McClanahan was the first pitcher to ever make his MLB debut in the playoffs as he got a start in last year's postseason. Oakland will start Chris Bassitt who is 2-2 with impressive outings against dregs like Detroit and Baltimore. The Rays are 52-22 in their last 74 home games while the A's are 3-8 on astroturf and just 1-4 in the last five meetings. Take TAMPA BAY! |

The Royals will start Mike Minor (2-1, 4.64 ERA) who is off his best performance of the season taking a no-hitter into the sixth before allowing two runs at Detroit. Pittsburgh starter is also off a game against the Tigers but he didn't fare as well allowing a pair of homers struggling with his command. Teams win games and the Bucs should win this one.

Milwaukee at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Brewers over Cubs- For years I have used the 13-run rule...what is it? Well, over the years in MLB we have found that when a team gets blasted by 13-runs or more, they respond to their embarrassment with a big effort. Milwaukee will send Freddy Peralta (2-0, 2.00 ERA) to the hill and he will be opposed by Adbert Alzolay (0-2, 6.10). The Brewers are 5-1 I their last six games on the road and are 5-2 in their last seven meetings in Chicago. The Cubs are just 3-9 against right-handers at home and are a go against here.

Kim won both his starts as a rookie against Cincy last year while Gray was 0-1 with a 10.80 ERA in two starts against the Red Birds. So, may question here is why are the Reds favored bat St. Louis.

New York Mets at Chicago Cubs 7:40 ET Mets over Cubs- I don't like laying this kind of number on the road especially a team coming off a loss. New York will send left-hander David Peterson (1-1, 6.30 ERA) to the mound against the Cubs. He has had two starts both against the Phillies and he was bombed the first time out and responded with a great performance the second time around allowing one run on three hits with 10 strikeouts and zero walks! Zach Davies (1-2, 10.32) gets the nod for Chicago and he has been a horror show and is 3-2 with a 5.06 ERA in seven starts against the Mets. New York is 5-17 their last 22 games in Chicago and yet after a loss yesterday they are a strong favorIte here. Take the M-E-T-S! |

Arizona at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Diamondbacks over Reds- I tried to avoid this one but it keeps coming back at me. We are aware that Arizona is one of the weaker teams in the NL and that Cincinnati a playoff team last year plays their best at home. Reds lost their first home game of the season and once again yesterday but managed six wins between those losses. The D'backs won 5-2 Sunday at Washington and will be sending Zac Gallen (0-0, 2.25 ERA) to the mound and is just 0-1 lifetime against the Reds while Cincy will send Luis Castillo (1-1, 7.04) who is 2-4 lifetime against Arizona.

San Francisco is off to a quick start at 9-6 and will be sending nine year veteran Kevin Gausman ((0-0, 3.20 ERA) to the mound who has lasted six innings in all of his three previous starts has yet to get a decision. Philadelphia will start 33-year-old Chase Anderson (0-1, 4.00) who is 3-2 with a 4.76 ERA in nine career starts against the Jints. Wiz-kids are great at home but an underdog here...Take the GIANTS! |

The Cardinals will start Kwang Hyun Kim in his season debut and he was terrible in the spring posting a 16.2- ERA in five inning.

At least Flaherty got some run support and was able to post a win while shutting down the Marlins while Washington starter Stephen Strasburg (0-0, 0.00) like deGrom get little support.

St. Louis has won four straight after opening 1-2 against Cincinnati and then swept Miami in three games before defeating the Brewers 3-1 on Thursday. It is surprising to me that the Red Birds are such a small favorite especially when one tracks Milwaukee's play to date as they have scored 2.3 RPG in their last six games overall and will be facing Carlos Martinez who is 6-5 with a 2.29 ERA in 29 career games against the Brewers.

The Phillies staff is hurling to a 2.62 ERA and allowing opponents a .191 average.

It's not just that they stink and have started 3-0 it's that New York/Boston thing where no matter how bad they are you want them to be worse. But tonight finally they will start a major league pitcher in Nick Pivetta who was 2-0- for the Sox last season in two appearances. Tampa Bay will start Michael Wacha (1-4, 6.62 ERA) who hasn't had a winning season since 2018 and is just not what he used to be (who is). Considering Tampa Bay is 13-3 in their last 16 games at Fenway Park I think this could be a sucker line. Take BOSTON! |

Tampa Bay and Los Angeles Dodgers 8:08 ET Dodgers over Rays- The level of play in this shortened season in the World Series makes me question if there should be a World Series Champion winner this season. After all there have been teams that were in the cellar of a division after 60 games and ended up in the playoffs. This season did not have the wear and tear that a full season would give us and the break-down of pitchers over a full season. Tampa Bay won Game 5 when THREE different Dodgers mishandled the ball on the final play allowing a 'trapped' runner to score from first base. The quality of baseball is at an all-time low and it is fitting that a team from the 'Land of Shallowness' and glitz wins a tainted title. Take LOS ANGELES! |

Tampa Bay vs L.A. Dodgers 8:10 ET Rays over Dodgers- Okay, it's only one game but the Rays realize with their Cy Young Award winner on the mound that a win here is crucial. Tampa Bay will hand the ball to Blake Snell (4-2, 3.24 ERA) who is 2-2 with a 3.20 postseason ERA. L.A. will most likely start Tony Gonsolin (2-3, 3.23) who struggled in two appearances against Atlanta in the postseason (0-1, 9.95) walking six and striking out eight. Runs have been hard to come by for the Rays who averaged 3.5 the last two series and most of those runs came via home runs seven by Randy Arozarena and five by Manuel Margot who hit one during the regular season. From what we saw in Game 1 it looks like it is supposed to look with a 2-1 favorite winning big. But, don't sleep on these Rays even if they fail here they can still make it series and I'm not concerned with the zig-zag stuff I'm looking for the winner everyday. Take LOS ANGELES! |

I'm still sick from the 2004 0-3 comeback by the 'Commie Saux' against the 27-time World Series Champion New York Yankees. HA! In my heart I don't want those dirty stinkin' cheater Astros to go anywhere. Houston received biggest break ever with the virus affecting this season as they never had to listen to the fans wrath and believe me it just wasn't from the fans as the commish came down heavy early at aggressions towards the Astros. It's too bad for the Astros because I saw them 'live' a number of times in Houston from Altuve and Correa's rookie seasons and you could tell that they were going to be good...but! So, now my 'main man' born in Jersey and grew up in Connecticut veteran Charlie Morton (2-2, 4.74 ERA) gets the Game 7 ball and he is 2-0 with a 0.92 ERA in the post season. My other 'cunnythumber' Lance McCullars (3-3, 3.93), 0-1 4.09 ERA in post season 7 innings and 11 K's in the 4-2 loss while surrendering five homers this post-season.

In Playoff action he has 20 K's in 13.1 innings and still he looked back at tape and said that he was tipping his pitches. If he corrects that who's going to hit him? Zack Greinke (3-3, 4.16) goes to the hill and he hasn't had his best of his 17 seasons, as shoulder problems have plague him the past three years, but he is aided by the cardboard cut outs in place of fans because of his anxiety phobia. I believe the Rays will get to Greinke early and go deep into the Astros bullpen. Take TAMPA BAY! |
