Taking the DODGERS. This is almost my limit on laying with a fave. Thought about RL. Ryu having a great season. Just crazy numbers. How about no runs in 8 of his 22 starts. A 1.21 ERA and .93 WHIP on the year. Folty with a 7.41 his last 4 starts vs LAD. He has a 6.24 ERA on the year and 6.27 here at home. LA will have 8 runs on this guy by the 5th. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS |

Taking the WHITE SOX. Now sure why the Angles are such a huge favorite here. Lost 7 of 10, while Sox come in winners of 6 of 10. Heaney isn't pitching like a Cy Young contender. In fact, this is his 2nd start back from the DL. That was 3.2 innings of 75 pitch ball. At best, he goes 5 tonight. But Lopez is - Or at least he is compared to his first half numbers. 6 starts since the All Star break, and he has a 2.13 ERA compared to 6.34 before. 38 innings 40Ks and 32 hits. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX |

Taking the RAYS. Tampa playing good ball winning 8 of 10 and right there in the Wild Card. Padres had a nice year, and though it isn't over, I don't think they make the Wild Card. A lot of their youngsters got a full season of experience and next year this team will be one to watch. For me though, I am on the scrappy Rays. If we get them a dog all series, sign me up. Should be able to take the series from San Diego. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS |

Stroman I think will be better pitching in the NL. How can he not improve getting out of the AL East! Strasburg in off getting shelled in Arizona. I expect a dominate performance tonight. Laying the short number, we will back the road faves. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS |

Taking the ANGELS. I'll be first to say that the Angles aren't all that great shakes. On the same token, who the heck are the Red Sox to be laying huge numbers like this. This team is sputtering, and sputtering laying more than 2-1. Sale is clearly not his old self. Whether injured or just that his arm is done, he is by far not his dominate self. A 7.47 ERA his last 7 starts! Dillon Peters just his 3rd start and 8th game. But he is stretching out after 5 and 4 innings, last game 7 2/3s. Again, this is us just fading Boston for another series of them laying big numbers. 4* Money Maker LA ANGELS |

Gray is better than Darvish in this spot. Darvish with an ERA over 5 in his 5 home starts this season. Since his signing, he hasn't had good numbers at Wrigley.

Taking the MARINERS. Look. Don't like taking teams on 4 game slides, especially against a team that has won 4 in a row and 8 of 10. But I can't lay this number with Mengden. Just no value on him at this price. Guy is not worthy of this number. He has a 5.12 ERA in 4 games, 3 starts at home. Ok, what is ERA to you- I get that. How about a .282 BA Against. That is way too high for my liking. The 1.76 WHIP is the icing on top. 12 walks in 19 innings of work with 22 hits allowed. Marco Gonzales is pitching well. 5-1 2.89 his last 6 starts and 3-0 2.57 vs Oakland in 3 starts this season. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS |

Taking the WHITE SOX. So we have made a little coin on Giolito already this season. We will grab him and Chicago as a small fave. KC just traded off Homer Bailey confirming what all believe in that if the Royals can get anything for a veteran, they will deal. So they have officially tossed in the towel. Not really a lot of motivation for the home team. Sox already went through this phase. They are trotting out their youngsters and this one looks like an ace. Nice career numbers vs KC for Giolito 6-0 2.13 in 10 starts (team 8-2). On the year, even better road numbers as he sports 6-1 2.73 ERA in 8 starts with a .190 BA Against and a 1.07 WHIP. Junis with a 5+ ERA on the year clearly gives up runs. 5.89 ERA at home in 10 starts. Sox 10-3 in Giolito's last 13 starts while KC on 1-5 run in Junis' last 6 home starts. 4* Total Money OVER Sox/ Royals |

Pivetta back at Triple A, then shuttled back to Philly. Looked OK in 3 starts back with a 1.80 ERA, then a 7.33 ERA his last 4.

Taking the REDS. Castillo having another nice season. The walks concern me a bit. Since a 2.56 ERA will be tough to carry even with a .182 BA Against if you are walking guys left and right. That being said, his home splits are very good with a WHIP of .97 and BAA of .164. Reds a tough team for me to figure out for sure. But I do like them in this spot. Quintana hasn't won a game since the beginning of May. Has an over approaching 7 his last 30 innings. His BA Against on the road is .288 in 8 games with an ERA of 4.93, walks a guy every other inning and has allowed 45 hits in those 38 inning of away ball. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS |

Taking the RANGERS. Quietly, these guys are winning games. I will say this. Back in late April/ early May I was reading some Texas articles saying how this team was brutal. The bullpen. The starters. They are bad. And lo and behold here they are, what, 6 back of their mighty neighbors Houston Astros. Chavez getting the nod here. Last game, 5 strong out of the bullpen on the heels of a start and 3 innings of work. Those 2 games, 8 inning 5 hits 1 earned on a HR, 7 strikeouts zero walks. We do know that the Tigers are brutal. Zimmerman in his 2nd start off DL. His first, 4 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs. I hope he goes deeper today and not on a pitch count. 7 starts, shade short of 35 innings. So basically he's a 5 inning pitcher with a 6 ERA. They say he is healthy. Well if he's as healthy as his April numbers, the Rangers should have 5 runs up by they 4th inning. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS |

Or, he is as good as his run and gives up 2 or 3 over 7. Either way, we like him over Rodriguez. Yes, he has been solid his last few starts. But, Rodriguez is an Over pitcher.

Taking the PADRES. Like Lucchesi. Kid has been solid. Don't be scared by that ERA. His FIP is a full run lower. This Jays team is light hitting and will be bad the entire year. Thornton started off nice, but his numbers were opposite of what we see from the San Diego hurler. He really has had 2 good starts all season. He only has gotten out of the 6th inning twice. He is a 5+ innings guy, who will walk a few guys a game. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES |

Cubs -131 v. Nationals | | 6-5 |

Taking the CUBS. This is just a play basically on Hendricks. Think he is the ace of this Cubs team. He had that great breakout year in 2016 with a 2.13 ERA and .98 WHIP in 190 innings. He followed with just 24 starts but posted a respectable 3.03 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Last year was another solid season going 14-11 3.43 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 34 starts. This year the WHIP is right on pace, 1.15 and his ERA 2.86 is pretty much around where it should be compared to his last 3 years. He has been absolutely dealing his last 3 starts going 9-8-8 innings with 1 earned running and 17Ks to 1 walk in those 25 innings. Hellickson, like the rest of the Nats, has been a disaster with a 6+ ERA and this team I suspect will start dealing pieces soon. I know they have big money tied up in their staff, but I can see some changes coming. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS |

Taking the TIGERS. I'm a Boyd fan. Just like the kids' stuff. He has been sharp with a .99 WHIP. Just 41 hits in 54.1 innings. A's have some big lumber, but I the lefty should keep that in check here in his home park. He had a 2.63 ERA in 14 home starts last year with a .98 WHIP and .198 BAA in 78.2 innings of work. Not expecting much from Mengden. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS |

Taking the TIGERS. Like Boyd. Kid is putting together a nice year. I don't like when they flip guys between the bullpen and starting. Peacock was a beast when he strictly came out of the pen. This line does also look a tad low to me. Astros red hot while the Tigers, well, come on, it's Detroit baseball. Give me the home dogs with a solid arm on the hill though.

Taking the REDS. I have said it before, and have lost, but I like Cincy. I really like the bullpen. Think they have some nice young arms (Mahle and just called up Reed). The line up isn't hitting much, but it will. It is just too good to keep slumping. Fiers has been bad all season. A's overall, off to a rough start. Their patchwork group of vets they have are not delivering. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS |

Twins with a lot of young talent, and we get a rising star on the hill tonight. Berrios sharp all April. Toronto has Vlad Jr and some future hopes. Future is now in Minny. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS |

Taking the PADRES. I know big bad Cy Young DeGrom is on the hill. But I am not sold on him being 100%. Yes, off a nice outing. But an ERA approaching 10 in his 3 starts before that. Paddack a beast in his 6 starts so far. 1.91 ERA .70 WHIP a .112 BAA. Don't think we see many runs tonight either, - count me in on the home team. 4* Money Maker SD PADRES |

Taking the METS. Not high on GG. The fact that the Yankees didn't want to bring him to the majors sends up a red flag to me. I mean, I am not some GM - But the NYY staff is pretty beat up. Not sure you couldn't find a role for this guy. Maybe there is something wrong. Going to the Brewers after opting out was the obvious choice as he was traded here and started 5 games last season. He pitched OK in his last start vs the Mets. But I like Wheeler. The ERA is not impressive by any stretch (over 5), and he seems to have what most pitchers who aren't on the elite level have - that one inning. Mets bats struggling a bit, but with a guy like GG on the hill, I think edge visitors. 4* Money Maker NY METS |

Taking the ROCKIES. Coming back again on a team we had last night. Will grab Colorado again. Chacin has given crooked numbers in all 6 starts and I expect that to continue tonight. 23 innings with 13 walks and 23 hits. That helps our cause. Marquez has been sharp or better in all but 1 start. Kid is dealing right now. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES |

Taking SAN DIEGO. Like this kid Paddack for the Padres. 5 starts and just 5 runs in his 27 innings pitched. That's a .67 WHIP and 1.67 ERA my friends. Lost with SD last night, but will come back here with this pitching edge. What Teheran is showing up? I remember when this guy had unbelievable home numbers. Then, he was great on the road. What is 100% clear so far is that he has been uneven at best this season. 33 hits in 31.2 innings and 17 walks. His 2 best starts this year have been at home with wins over the Cubs and Mets allowing 2 runs in 11 innings on 12 hits and 5 walks, 13Ks in those 2 games helped. Still think the youngster is the way to go tonight. Seems like Teheran (28) has been around forever doesn't it? 4* Money Maker SD PADRES |

The play of both teams though has me on the small road dog. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES |

Taking SAN DIEGO. I do like this young Braves team. But, being young does have some drawbacks. Like how is Soroka going to respond after his longest pitch count of his young career? 100 pitches seems to have found itself as when the bullpen come in. He has had previous shoulder problems. So getting a nice number, I will grab the dogs here. Margevicius has a respectable 1.08 WHIP on the year. He has been good in his 2 road starts allowing 2 runs on 6 hits in 11 innings. That's a 1.64 ERA - .154 BAA and .64 in limited innings. I'll take it though. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES |

Taking SEATTLE. Rangers ending a 5 game slide as of this writing erupting for an 11-1 game here in the ninth. I think they hold on. That being said, this team has big problems. The staff is a hot mess. Lynn the best guy and he is sporting a mid 6 ERA. He beat Seattle last week which means they will get the best of him today. Especially off getting pounded last night. Rangers bullpen. They should just have a jet on stand-by as they shuttle guys back and forth to the minors. That is what happens when you starters last about 4 innings and you are in the bullpen having guys throw 40-50-60 pitches a night. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS |

Taking the YANKEES and will also be on the UNDER in this game. Have to like they way both guys are pitching for the under here. But German as a side looks like a nice bet. I know you hear me talk about too good to be true lines. And although this is a low number, it's about where it should be. Rodriguez has been respectable in his outings. German though has been just downright nasty in his 4 starts. 28K in 25+ innings, just 13 hits. A .143 BAA and .82 WHIP. Again, on the UNDER also with a couple solid youngsters on the hill. Just think the Yanks find a way to win the side for us. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES |

But still need to go get camera calibrated! So- Colorado. Come in winners of 8 of 10. They have 6 straight in Atlanta. In fact, how about 23-9 last 32 vs the Braves.
