Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
The Rangers have won three in a row even though they recently traded away a couple of All Stars in OF Joey Gallo and P Kyle Gibson and their closer in Ian Kennedy. In the 4-1 win over the Angels in the first game of this series they only had five hits and scored two of their runs on a passed ball and a double steal of home. |

Twins v. Reds -118 | Top | 7-5 |
Loss | -118 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
The Minnesota Twins look like their season is ending. They are 5th in the AL Central and show no sign of improving or making a run at this season. One of the major reasons for this disaster is the 5.3 runs being allowed per game. They are scoring a respectable 4.6 runs per game but have not found a way to keep runs off the score sheet. Defensively, they have struggled and should look to fix this during the offseason. |

Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Suarez has a 5-3 record this season with an amazing 1.12 ERA this season in 40.1IP. He has been one of the bright spots on this struggling pitching staff this season for the Phillies. |

Red Sox +154 v. Rays | Top | 2-3 |
Loss | -100 | 5 h 31 m | Show |
Nick Pivetta will get the ball for the Red Sox to close out the series after battling through 4.2 innings last Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three. The 28-year-old has been a solid enough back end arm, going 8-4 with a 4.53 ERA and 120 strikeouts in 107.2 innings. I expect a better outing from Pivetta. |

Orioles v. Tigers -101 | Top | 5-2 |
Loss | -101 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
The Orioles are having a season to forget and have struggled in every facet of the game this season. The Tigers are having a resurgence this season and are only a few games below .500 with two months remaining in the season. Matt Manning is one of the team's top prospects, allowing just 22 runs in seven starts this season. |

Red Sox +101 v. Rays | Top | 5-9 |
Loss | -100 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
Nathan Eovaldi was sharp in his last start. He went seven innings and gave up seven hits, zero walks, two earned runs, and struck out eight in a no-decision against the New York Yankees. On the season, he has a record of 9-5 with a 3.49 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 114/21 K/BB ratio in 18 games started. Opposing batters are hitting .221 off Eovaldi. He has gone six innings or more in 20 starts. In his only start against the Rays this season, Eovaldi went seven innings and gave up three hits, three walks, one earned run, and struck out seven in a win. |

Yankees v. Marlins +139 | Top | 3-1 |
Loss | -100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
Some hard-hitting lefties were desperately needed in the Yankees batting order, and the Yankees front office delivered by signing Anthony Rizzo from the Cubs, and Joey Gallo from the Rangers. These two new additions will make an immediate impact on this struggling New York lineup. It is about time they bring in some left-handed sluggers to take advantage of that short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium. Gallo and Rizzo will look to spark an offense that is 25th in runs scored per game (4.15) and 23rd in hits per game (7.71). Despite the recent moves, it usually takes a game or so for teams to gel and this number is begging you to take the Yankees. |

Blue Jays +105 v. Red Sox | Top | 13-1 |
Win | 105 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
The Blue Jays own one of baseball's best offenses at an average of 5.10 runs per game while slugging a combined 150 homers, most in the AL. Toronto pitching isn't on that same level, but remains solidly above average with a 4.04 ERA with the bullpen and rotation posting nearly identical marks. |

Brewers v. Pirates +171 | Top | 12-0 |
Loss | -100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
Chad Kuhl will toe the slab for the Pirates here against the Milwaukee Brewers. Kuhl is 3-5 over 13 starts this season for the last-place Pirates. He performed extremely well in his last three starts, allowing just four combined earned runs in those outings. The Pirates have won in five of his last six starts and cashed as +170 dogs against the Giants in his most recent start. |

Dodgers v. Giants +123 | Top | 8-0 |
Loss | -100 | 11 h 23 m | Show |
Los Angeles has some huge names on the IL, including star outfielder Mookie Betts, who is dealing with hip inflammation. Second baseman Gavin Lux (strained hamstring) also recently went down, while shortstop Corey Seager (fractured hand) isn't ready to start a rehab assignment. Starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw just threw a bullpen session as he recovers from forearm inflammation, while Dustin May underwent Tommy John surgery earlier in the year. Six Dodgers relievers are currently out, including Scott Alexander (shoulder inflammation), Tommy Kanhle (Tommy John surgery) and Corey Knebel (strained lat). Too many injuries to not take the plus money again in this series. |

Kris Bubic delivered a strong start in Friday's victory over the Tigers, allowing just one run on six hits over six innings of work. The left-hander walked two and struck out four on the night. The only run against him came on a solo shot off the bat of Willi Castro in the third inning. According to baseballsavant.com, Bubic generated 10 swinging strikes in the game -- eight on his changeup -- and registered a CSW of 26 percent. |

The world will be on the Milwaukee Brewers in this one as the Pirates yearly garage sale is underway. I think the moves light a fire under the Buc's for a game or so, they look like the live dog play with a number that is begging you to take the Brewers. |

The Los Angeles Dodgers will be going with Julio Urias as the starter for this game following a fantastic start to the 2021 campaign. So far this season, he has a 12-3 record along with a 3.63 ERA. However, he owns a 4.50 ERA against San Francisco, making this an easy plus money play. |

Reds +168 v. Cubs | Top | 7-4 |
Win | 168 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
The Cincinnati Reds are right in the hunt for the division crown, pretty good considering how bad their pitching has been. They're second in a tight NL Central and have a 51-48 record because their offense has been able to overcome their pitching, scoring 4.8 runs per game which is tied for 8th in the league. They also have 8.4 hits per game which is tied for 5th. This number is inflated. |

The Baltimore Orioles are on a little bit of a winning streak recently but are still last in the AL East with a 34-64 record. Righty rookie Spenser Watkins will be pitching here as he is coming off a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays where he allowed a run on four hits with two walks and seven strikeouts in a career-high six innings. |

Loss | -100 | 9 h 13 m | Show |
During Detroit's seven-game winning streak prior to the two losses, the Tigers posted three shutouts and allowed two runs or fewer in five of the seven victories. The Minnesota pitching staff is giving up far too much on the mound as the Twins are 26th in baseball in team ERA at 4.89, 19th in WHIP at 1.33 and opposing hitters average .258 at the plate against Minnesota pitching which is 26th and baseball. |

Ross Stripling has been struggling this season according to his Baseball Savant page as he is in the 10th percentile in barrel percentage, 24th percentile in xERA, 31st percentile in hard-hit percentage, and 22nd percentile in average exit velocity.

The New York Mets will be going with Taijuan Walker as the starter for this game following a fantastic start to the 2021 campaign. So far this season, he has a 7-3 record along with a 2.99 ERA. In addition, he has a 1.75 ERA at home as he has been virtually unhittable at Citi Field. |

The Oakland A's are one of the best teams in the MLB and the main reason for their success has been their pitching staff. Frankie Montas however, has struggled this season, allowing 56 runs in only 19 starts which is the most among the team's starters. Additionally, Montas is allowing a .244 expected Batting Average, a .427 expected Slugging Percentage, and a 4.27 expected ERA. |

The 25-year-old Fleming has appeared in 15 games thus far this season, including seven starts, and has sported a serviceable 3.93 ERA over 73.1 innings of work. He’d certainly like to forget his most recent start in which he got hammered for seven runs and eight hits in 4.1 innings against Atlanta. He has struggled quite a bit on the road, however, putting up a 6.34 ERA and allowing a .299 OBA away from Tropicana Field. |

The Dodgers were cruising to a much-needed victory that would have tied the division standings. With just three outs separating them, the Dodgers collapsed and lost to the Giants in game 3. The Dodgers are now 59-38 for the season. According to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN, The Giants and Dodgers have played 12 games against one another this year. Nine have been decided by three runs or less. The Dodgers have won seven but have also dropped two of the last three, the last one on a blown save from Kenley Jansen, and remain two games out of first place. |

The Giants are a team that usually bounces back after allowing five runs or more in their previous game. In that situation, the Giants are an incredible 25-8 over their last 33 games, and 17-5 the game after they score five or more runs. The Giants are worth the plus money in this one. |

Pittsburgh has yet to officially announce their starter for this tilt against the Dbacks. Early reports indicate right-hander Max Kranick getting the nod. He has a 3.38 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in two prior starts this year. If Max does not get the nod, expect the Pirates to go with one of their bullpen arms to open up the first few frames. |

The Suns were a top-10 defense this season, but they allowed Milwaukee to shoot 57% and 14-of-28 from beyond the arc on their home floor. If they allow the Bucks to shoot over 50% from the floor and the three-point line again, the Suns will be heading to the golf course (and Tokyo). Expect them to be much better tonight. |
