Oakland at Chicago White Sox 8:10 ET Athletics over White Sox- Oakland enters this contest off four straight home losses to Houston after having swept a four-game series against the New York Yankees also at home. Chicago just ended a three-game losing streak of their own with a 9-0 win over Minnesota last night. The A's will start Jharel Cotton (4-7, 5.40 ERA) on the hill and he posted his first win in six weeks against the Yankees last time out. Mikw Pelfrey (3-5, 3.56) has been inconsistent and is off his best performance of the season winning at Toronto yielding one run and four hits while picking up the victory. Pelfry is 0-4 against Oakland with a 7.97 ERA. Take the ATHLETICS! |

06-22-17 | Indians -122 v. Orioles | Top | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
Cleveland at Baltimore 7:10 ET Indians over Orioles- It's been good for the Indians the past week or so as they have won seven of their last eight and have moved into first-place in the AL Central a game-and-a half ahead of Minnesota. Hot hitting has been the key as Jose Ramirez has had nine straight multi-fit games along with Encarnacion who has been hot at the plate. Baltimore has dropped 10 of their last 14 allowing at least five runs per game in 18 consecutive games. Cleveland's Mile Clevinger (2-3, 3.89 ERA) gets the nod for the Indians and he has no record against the Orioles while Baltimore's starter Wade Miley (3-4, 4.29) has surrendered six runs in less then six innings in both of his past two starts and has an ERA of 12.66 in his last three starts. It is no wonder the Indians are favored. Take CLEVELAND! |

06-21-17 | Astros v. A's +111 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
Houston at Oakland 10:05 ET A's over Astros- Another one of those confusing 'numbers' where yo feel that you are getting 'gypped' on the price. Here is Houston the best team in baseball winning their last two (against Oakland) with a 25-8 record on the road and they are such an inviting price. Houston's Mike Fiers (4-2, 4.00 ERA) is unbeaten in his last five starts but is 0-2 with a 4.32 ERA against Oakland in six careers starts. Sean Manaea (6-3, 4.01) has posted a 1.71 ERA in five career starts against the Astros. Take the ATHLETICS! |

06-21-17 | Pirates +114 v. Brewers | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Milwaukee 8:10 ET Pirates over Brewers- It looks to me like these two clubs are returning to the center with the first-place Brewers coming back down to reality and struggling Pirates warming up. Since Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen was dropped to sixth in the line-up he has been on a tear hitting .406 with six homers, 19 RBI's in 64 at bats while Eric Thames has struck-out seven times and is 0-12 in his last three games. One is hot and one is not...stay with the trends in baseball. Take PITTSBURGH! |

06-21-17 | Blue Jays -104 v. Rangers | Top | 7-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
Toronto at Texas 8:05 ET Blue Jays over Rangers- Now be it ever how small, the fact that the Blue Jays came up the favorite in this contest had me raise and eyebrow. Here is why, to start with Texas has a better record then Toronto and is at home where they are 21-16 while the Jays are 25-29 on the road. Now, that happens often enough but it didn't stop there. Toronto starter Joe Biagini (1-6, 4.26 ERA) is 0-5 in his last six starts and has already lost to the Rangers, but in that loss he did hold Texas to two runs in six innings. Maybe he has a good game in him. I have TORONTO! |

Matt Grienke (8-3, 3.00 ERA) of the D'backs has struggled his last two turns failing to make it past five innings but is 1-0 this season and 8-4 lifetime against the Rockies. Colorado will start German Marquez (5-3, 4.19) has surrendered one or no earned runs in five of his last seven starts and comes up favored here. Take COLORADO! |

Pittsburgh at Milwaukee 7:40 ET Pirates over Brewers- Milwaukee has surprised the 'experts' as they currently lead the NL Central despite being two-games under .500 at home. Pittsburgh who has won six of their last 10 has defeated the Brewers seven of the last eight meetings and will start Chad Kuhl (1-6, 5.61 ERA) who is 1-0 with a 1.76 ERA in three career starts against Milwaukee. The pitching match-up has me upside down here as Brewers starter Zach Davis (7-3, 4.9) who has won seven of his last eight decisions after starting the season 0-2, while Kuhl is winless in his last 12 starts after a win in his first start of the year. Davis is 1-2 with and ERA of 9.56 in four career starts against the Pirates. Today it is PITTSBURGH! |

06-20-17 | Giants -102 v. Braves | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
San Francisco at Atlanta 7:35 ET Giants over Braves- This one might be difficult to swallow as the Giants are so weak offensively that they have scored just four hits and two runs or less in nine of their last 20 games. The Jinx have lost seven straight and 15 of their last 20 and are in last place in the NL West with only the Phillies with a worse overall record in the league. Yet, with all this San Francisco opened as the favorite on the road where they are 12-28 (30%) and starter Matt Moore is 0-4 with a 9.24 ERA away from home. Something is NOT right here. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Pittsburgh meanwhile, has dropped three of their last four and will send Matt Garza (3-2, 4.17 ERA) to the hill and he has struggled of late failing to complete six innings in any of his last four starts. Gerrit Cole (4-6, 4.54) who enjoyed a success in that May series by pitching seven innings and allowing just one run on two hits. Maybe it's a weekend hangover but the Brewers are just 9-20 in their last 29 Monday games. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Washington at Miami 7:10 ET Marlins over Nationals- The Marlins had won 13 of 18 before dropping the final two games of their series in Atlanta where the Braves finished the series with a pair walk-off wins. This is a tough spot for Miami because of how well the Nationals have played on the road winning 24 of 37 and 12-3 in their last 15 as visitors. Washington will start Tanner Roark (6-4, 4.39 ERA) who is just 5-8 in 13 career starts against the Marlins while Miami will start Justin Nicolino )0-1, 4.15) who is fresh off the DL. In a surprise take MIAMI! |

The Astros despite owning the best record in baseball are in the mist of a 3-7 stretch and will be sending Joe Musgrove (4-5, 4.81) to the hill who has struggled at home.

Boston at Houston 8:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- The Houston Astros have been without a doubt the 'best' team in baseball this season but have fallen upon difficult times the past week. They still have the best record in MLB but have lost six of their last eight and four of their last five as they host the Red Sox.

06-16-17 | Cardinals -123 v. Orioles | 11-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
St. Louis at Baltimore 7:05 ET Cardinals over Orioles- The Orioles are one of the favorites to contend in the AL East and were expected to battle with the Red Sox for Division title. But, Baltimore is under .500 after dropping 7-of-8 off their road trip and are now 10-23 in their last 33 games. Tonight they open a 3-game inter-league series with the struggling Cardinals. With the O's 21-10 at home and St. Louis just 12-17 on the road it is difficult to understand why Baltimore is the underdog. Carlos Martinez (5-5, 2.95 ERA) may be the reason as he has pitched better then his record shows as the Cards have given him just 25 runs of support in his 12 starts. But, truly maybe it's because Orioles starter Kevin Gausman (6.49) can't get anybody out and is walking the ball park. Take ST. LOUIS! |

06-14-17 | Cubs -116 v. Mets | Top | 4-9 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 36 m | Show |
Chicago Cubs at N.Y. Mets 7:10 ET Cubs over Mets- There are a number of reasons I like the Cubs here and one of them is my distaste for the 'Black Knight' Matt Harvey (4-3, 5.02 ERA). Harvey who told the Mets three seasons ago that he would not pitch down the stretch of the pennant race because his agent had him on a 'personal' pitch count. I said then that the Mets should trade him as I don't want a pitcher with no 'heart' or guts on the mound when it counts most. Although, Harvey has 12 starts he has had only four quality starts and the Cubs appear to have busted out of their prolonged slump. Tonight it all CHICAGO. |

Kansas City will start Jason Vargas (8-3, 2.18 ERA) who is 3-0 in his last three starts and is 1-1 lifetime against the Giants. San Francisco will start Ty Blach (4-3, 3.64) who has won four straight before getting blasted in his last start but had a string of five starts with seven innings or more and three or fewer runs allowed.

Seattle at Minnesota 8:10 ET Mariners over Twins- When looking at the home and away record of the Twins I first thought that I had that the columns were transposed as Minnesota is 7-games under .500 (12-19) at home and 11-games over .500 (20-9) on the road. The Mariners will start Christian Bergman (3-3, 4.03 ERA) against the first-place Twins who are 18-38 in their last 56 home games. Kyle Gibson (3-4, 6.52) has been wildly inconsistent this season and has spent some time on the disabled list with an appearance against the Mariners in Seattle last week allowing just one run on six innings. Bergman took a loss in that series when allowing just one run in six innings and the Twins. Take SEATTLE! |

Cole has failed to get through five innings in any of his last four starts allowing 23 runs and eight homers in 19+ innings.

Cincinnati at San Diego 10:10 ET Padres over Reds- This is another contest where 'bottom feeders' meet and the wrong team is favored. The question is...Is that a bookmakers mistake or a side of what is to come. The Padres are tied with Philadelphia for the most losses with 40 and have dropped seven of their last eight games and yet come up the Vegas favorite. Cincinnati who has dropped their last three are just 10-17 on the road and will start the struggling Bronson Arroyo (3-4, 6.25 ERA) who is 0-2 in his last six starts.

Colorado will start rookie sensation Kyle Freeland (7-3, 3.34 ERA) who is 4-0 with a 3.18 ERA in six road starts.

Toronto has started to play better baseball as they occupy last place in the AL East but have won 11 of their last 16 and will be sending Joe Biagini (1-4, 3.31 ERA) to the hill who has pitched to a 1.02 WHIP and has limited batters to a .216 batting average.

Jeff Samardzija (1-7, 4.63 ERA) of the Giants never realized that he would get 'hit' harder in big League baseball then he would in the NFL as a receiver. He finished May 1-3 but had a 3.32 ERA while striking out 49 and walking only one!

Minnesota at L.A. Angels 10:05 ET Angels over Twins- The 'numbers' for Minnesota's Ervin Santana (7-2, 1.75 ERA) are scary as he has allowed just 36 hits in 77 innings. Now, think about that he has allowed less the one-hit for every two innings pitched. My first thought is why is Santana an underdog here even though he is just 2-3 lifetime against the Angels as he has been so dominate. Los Angeles will start Matt Shoemaker (403, 4.26) who has also surrendered less hits then innings pitched and he is off his shortest outing of the season a loss to Miami. Turn-about here...Take the ANGELS! |

It seems odd to me that the Red Sox are the favorite as Dylan Bundy (6-3, 2.89) has been outstanding allowing just 62 hits in 72 innings and is 2-1 lifetime against Boston. The difference may be that Price was 3-1 in five starts against the Orioles last season and is 11-5 lifetime with a 2.88 ERA. Take BOSTON! |

The D'Backs have done it for the most part with an explosive offense as they average just under five runs per game. Miami has struggled this season especially at home winning just 10 of their 25 as hosts. Arizona's weak link will be on the mound as Patrick Corbin (4-5, 5.14 ERA) who has allowed 27 hits in his last three starts in just 16 innings.
