T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Friday. Robbie Ray (7-6, 3.51 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has been looking a lot better in his starts lately. He didn't have a great start to the year but he has started in 6 games in a row now where he only gave up 1 run or none and I expect him to continue that here against the Rangers. Matt Bush (2-1, 3.64 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has been a reliever all year that doesn't really play more than 1 inning in games so I expect this to be a bullpen day for the Rangers. Bush has been pretty good himself this year but the Rangers bullpen has been giving up a lot of late runs in games lately and the Mariners are the hottest team in baseball right now with their 11 game win streak. The Mariners are not a team I want to step in front of right now and considering the pitching matchup here, I like the Mariners to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners. | |||||||
07-15-22 | Tigers v. Guardians -174 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The Guardians haven't looked great lately but they just won their most recent game over the Tigers to start this series off on the right foot, and I think they are going to get another win here in their ballpark. The Tigers were on a little run just over a week ago but they have cooled off significantly and are back to playing at their usual level. The Tigers haven't been good in road games this year though and I think the Guardians are going to take advantage of that here. It was just over a week ago that these 2 teams face each other in a 4 game series in Detroit which the Tigers swept. I think that sweep is still fresh in the Guardians minds though and I expect a much better effort from them in this entire series. Zach Plesac (2-7, 3.99 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has been great this year. He gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and didn't look that great but he also had 7 starts in a row before that where he looked great and I think he will bounce back in this game after that bad performance last time out. The Tigers have 1 of the weakest lineups and offenses in the league too so I see him shutting down the Tigers here, who are already much worse in road games too. Drew Hutchison (1-4, 4.08 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he was moved into this role from the bullpen midway through the year but he hasn't been terrible in his 4 starts, giving up no more than 3 runs in any of those. He doesn't usually go more than 5 innings though and he has had a few blow up innings this year as a reliever so going the distance isn't something he's really used to. He also doesn't strikeout a lot of batters while giving up quite a few hits and I think he will get himself into trouble here with this Guardians lineup that hits well against the shift in their own ballpark. I expect the Guardians to still have that sweep on their minds here and I think they will win this game to try and get them back. I like the Guardians to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Guardians. | |||||||
07-14-22 | Brewers v. Giants -102 | 3-2 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. The Giants have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now and have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games with their offense picking up a lot in these games. I think they are going to continue on their roll here now that are getting in their groove and I expect another home win here since they have been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately. The Brewers haven't looked good in their games lately, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games but their offense hasn't looked great in those games either. They haven't been putting up a ton of runs lately and I think that will be an issue for them here with the Giants getting hot on offense lately. Carlos Rodon (8-5, 2.70 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has looked great for them this year. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 7/8 of his previous 8 starts and has been pitching very deep into these games too. The Brewers offense has already been struggling lately and I expect them to struggle more with Rodon pitching in this game. Corbin Burnes (7-4, 2.20 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has also looked really good in his starts all year. He has had 6 starts in a row now that have been great, not giving up many runs at all but he has also been getting a ton of run support from his teams in those games he has been pitching in. The Brewers offense is cold at the moment and I don't think they are going to break out of this funk with a pitcher as good as Rodon is on the other side here. I think this game could come down to offense with these 2 starters and the Giants have been much hotter with their offense lately, also being the home team here. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Giants. | |||||||
07-14-22 | White Sox +145 v. Twins | 12-2 | Win | 145 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. The White Sox have won 2 games in a row now and I think they are going to add to that here with a win making it 3 in a row. They just split their series with the Guardians, winning the last 2 games of that series, but they did the same thing with the Tigers just before that and have been struggling in their games against these division teams. This is another important series for them with the division leading Twins here but I expect them to start putting in a better effort to close the gap in the division and I think this is a good spot for them to win here. The Twins just split a mini series with the Brewers but they haven't looked great in their games lately and their offense has really been cooling off over the previous few games. Johnny Cueto (3-4, 2.91 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked great for them all year. He hasn't had a bad start in 7 starts in a row now and I expect him to keep that up here since he has been really consistent all year. I think he is going to shut down the Twins lineup here with how well he has been pitching all year and he has already done so in July, pitching 6 innings against them last week and only giving up 2 runs as his team went on to lose. The Twins offense was a lot hotter during that series though and I expect there to be a different result here with their offense cooling off lately. Sonny Gray (4-2, 3.03 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has looked great all year but has also looked a bit shaky in his most recent starts. He had a great start to the year, not giving up more than 2 runs in any of his 1st 7 starts this year. He has missed some time with injuries though and hasn't been quite as good since coming back now. He has given up 8 runs total in his 2 most recent starts, not even pitching more than 5 innings in either start, and he just gave up 5 runs in his previous start getting credited with the loss in that game. I think he is going to continue struggle in his starts coming back from his injury and I expect the White Sox lineup to bring in some runs here. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox. | |||||||
07-13-22 | Padres -157 v. Rockies | 6-10 | Loss | -157 | 14 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. The Padres haven't looked good in their games lately but I think they will bounce back here with their ace pitcher starting in this game. The Padres have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games and haven't been putting up a ton of offense in those but I don't think they will need many runs to win here with Musgrove starting, and playing at Coors Field should help spark their offense to put up some runs too. The Rockies have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they haven't looked great lately either with their offense barely producing runs in their games. They have already been really cold as a lineup but they are going to struggle even more with this pitching matchup. Joe Musgrove (8-2, 2.09 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been really consistent all year, being the best starter on this staff this year. He hasn't had many bad starts this year either and has already faced this Rockies lineup this year, pitching in 6 scoreless innings against them. It will be a tougher task at Coors Field here but he has also been striking out a ton of batters in his starts lately and will be able to shut down the Rockies lineup which has been really cold lately. Chad Kuhl (6-5, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he hasn't looked terrible this year but he has given up a lot of runs in a majority of his starts, including 5/6 of his previous 6 starts. He hasn't really been lasting longer than 5 innings in his starts and this Padres lineup has already faced him this year, cashing in 5 runs on him in less than 5 innings. I expect the Padres to get on him early here and I see them putting up a ton of runs in this ballpark. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Padres. | |||||||
07-13-22 | White Sox -110 v. Guardians | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. The White Sox haven't looked great in their games lately but they finally won a game over the Guardians yesterday and I think they will pick up another win here with a chance to split this series. These are really important games for the White Sox since the division is slowly slipping away from them with both the Guardians and the Twins ahead of them now. They can't afford to be losing these games to the Guardians but now that they have pulled off a 7-0 win over them, I expect to see that again here with that offense starting to pick up more in their games. They have been putting up a lot of runs in their games lately and their lineup is also slowly getting some of their stronger players back from injury so they are going to be turning things around soon. Their pitching has also been getting a lot better after a terrible start to the year and I expect them to have another great outing here after that shutout performance last night. The Guardians haven't looked great lately themselves and were not winning many games coming into this series. They had lost 2 series in a row to the Tigers and the Royals, even getting swept in 4 games by the Tigers, and those are both teams with some of the weakest offenses in the league. Lucas Giolito (5-5, 5.05 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great for them all year. He has been putting up a lot of good numbers in his starts all year, he just had a bad start in his most recent one, giving up 5 runs in that start, but he also struck out 8 batters and that is going to bite against a weaker offensive team like the Guardians have been lately. Aaron Civale (2-5, 6.28 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked terrible all year. He finally had 1 good start in his most recent one but that has not been a common theme for him this year, giving up a ton of runs in a majority of his starts this year. He also faced the Royals in that good start and they have 1 of the worst offenses in the league. The White Sox have a really good lineup and they just put up 7 runs on the Guardians last night, they will put up runs on Civale here early in this game. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 White Sox. | |||||||
07-12-22 | Dodgers -140 v. Cardinals | 6-7 | Loss | -140 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Dodgers have been very hot in their games lately. They have won 7 games in a row now, sweeping the Rockies in 4 games of their previous series, and they won 11/12 of their previous 12 games just to show how hot they've really been over the previous 2 weeks. I expect them to continue their huge run here over a struggling Cardinals team. The Cards have won 2 games in a row now but they haven't really looked great in their games, losing 6/7 of their previous 7 games before those 2 wins in a row. The Cardinals put up 10 runs total in their 2 most recent games but their offense was not great in their games before that and I can see it dying down again with this hot Dodgers team coming into town. Mitch White (1-1, 3.38 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has had a good year so far. He hasn't pitched deep in many games this year but he also hasn't had an outing where he gave up more than 3 runs and I don't see him having a bad outing here with this Cardinals offense looking shaky lately. Even if he does give up runs here, the Dodgers can post a lot of runs themselves and did so over the weekend, even erasing an early 8-3 deficit in 1 of their games winning it in the end. Matthew Liberatore (2-1, 4.74 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he hasn't been great in his few starts this year, I expect the Dodgers to put up runs on him here. He hasn't pitched past the 5th inning in any start this year and has given up 4+ runs in half of those starts. He gets himself into a lot of trouble with base runners in games and doesn't strikeout a lot of batters either so I expect to see him getting himself into trouble here with this hot lineup. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. | |||||||
07-11-22 | Mets v. Braves -123 | 4-1 | Loss | -123 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the New York Mets on Monday. The Braves have looked really hot lately, winning 3 games in a row now and 6/7 of their previous 7 games. They have cut down the lead the Mets have over them to 1.5 games now and I think they are going to be highly motivated here in this home series to take over the lead in the division. Their offense has looked really good in their games but their pitching has also been great and I expect them to shut down a Mets lineup that hasn't been producing lately. The Mets haven't looked great lately, losing 2/3 of their previous 3 games to the Marlins and they were really struggling to put up runs in those games. Max Fried (9-2, 2.52 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been great all year. He rarely puts up a bad start and even when he has this year, it hasn't even been that bad of a start with a majority of his starts seeing him give up 2 runs or less. I think he is going to shut down the Mets lineup here as they continue to struggle like they have in their games lately. Max Scherzer (5-1, 2.26 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has also been great this year but this is only his 2nd start back from an injury and I expect him to be a bit off here in this road game against this division rival. He hasn't really had any bad starts this year but he has also burnt himself out already and this has been an issue for him in past seasons too. I don't think he will be able to pitch deep into this game since they only let him pitch 6 innings in his most recent start back from injury and I expect the Braves to put up some runs on the Mets bullpen here. Even if they do pitch a great game, the offense hasn't been performing well lately and I think that will be their downfall here. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Braves. | |||||||
07-10-22 | Giants v. Padres -110 | 12-0 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The Padres have looked good lately, winning 2/3 of their 3 games against the Giants here and I think they are going to take the series here. The Giants haven't looked good at all lately, losing 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they were also losing a lot of games going into this series and they haven't even had a tough schedule lately either. Alex Wood (5-7, 4.83 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he hasn't been great this year, I expect him to give up some runs against the Padres here. Wood had a good start in his most recent game but he also had 3 bad starts in a row right before that and that has been a common theme for him this year since he has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts. The Padres have been hot in their ballpark here lately and I expect them to put up the runs on a slumping Giants team. MacKenzie Gore (4-3, 3.18 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been having a good year so far. He's still in his rookie year but he has been great, he doesn't give up many runs in his starts other than 2 bad starts he had but a majority of his starts this year have been very good and with many shutout performances. He had 2 great starts in his 2 most recent starts and I expect him to have another great start here with a Giants offense that has been slumping. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Padres. | |||||||
07-09-22 | Rays -147 v. Reds | 4-5 | Loss | -147 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. The Rays just lost a very close game in extra innings, losing 2-1 to the Reds in the 10th inning, but their pitching was great in that game and there wasn't a lot of offense to go around. Despite that loss, the Rays have looked really good lately winning 2/3 games against the Red Sox and 3/5 games against the Blue Jays, both being road series for them too. This is another road series for them too but the Reds are also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. The Reds have won 2 games in a row now but they are a team with just 30 wins and I don't see their good fortune here continuing any longer. They got away yesterday winning the pitcher's duel but today the matchup is better for the Rays here and I expect them to take advantage of the Reds here. Hunter Greene (3-10, 6.01 ERA) is up for the Reds here and he hasn't looked good all year. He is in his rookie year still but he has been struggling lately, giving up 6 runs in his most recent start, and he has done that twice in his previous 4 starts. He has also been consistently bad, giving up 3+ runs in 4 starts in a row now, and the Rays have been hitting really well over the last week as their offense has been picking up. I think he is going to pitch a bad game here and the Reds don't have much of a bullpen to back him up here either as they have been used a lot over the last week. Drew Rasmussen (5-3, 3.30 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has looked good all year so far. There has been a few shaky starts for him this year but he hasn't had many and he just bounced back in his previous outing off a bad start before that. The Rays also have a much better bullpen to back him up if things start to go south and I think the Rays will be bouncing back here. I like the Rays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Rays. | |||||||
07-09-22 | Tigers v. White Sox -156 | 0-8 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. The White Sox have lost 2 games in a row now but they have also lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games, including a series to the Twins, but I think it is time they bounce back here. They are in their own ballpark and can't afford to keep losing games to these bad teams, especially the bad teams in their own division. I expect them to step up here and get the win over a Tigers team that is really hot now, winning 6 games in a row, but has also been really bad in road games this year and having already won 2 in a row here over the White Sox, I think it's time they lose a game. Johnny Cueto (2-4, 3.30 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great all year. The White Sox picked him up earlier in the year hoping that he would fill in a must needed spot in the rotation when their pitching wasn't great and they were getting a lot of bad outings from their guys. He has been nothing but great though, with only 1 start where he gave up more than 3 runs this year, and I think he's going to pitch another great game here against the Tigers who have an offense near the bottom of the league. Garrett Hill (1-0, 1.50 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he has only made 1 other start in the MLB since he is still in his rookie year. He was great in that start, giving up just 1 run in 6 innings against the Guardians but he also facing a better lineup here that has had some players return from injury this week and is now a lot healthier than they have been all year. I think the bats are going to wake up here for the White Sox with this rookie starting and I'm expecting a win out of them here. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 White Sox. | |||||||
07-08-22 | Phillies v. Cardinals +115 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The Cardinals haven't looked good in their games lately but they won the last game of their series against the Braves, avoiding the sweep there, and I think they are going to string some wins together now that they have bounced back a bit. The Phillies have looked good lately, winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games. They also took 2/3 games against the Cardinals just last weekend and I think the Cardinals still have that fresh in their minds. I expect the Cardinals to step up here and take this 1st game of the series with it being back in their own ballpark. Adam Wainwright (6-6, 3.26 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has been great this year. He just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and he has looked a bit shaky lately too but he has had great numbers throughout his career and he has been putting up similar numbers here all year, I expect him to bounce back in this start and pitch a better game. His previous start was also against the Phillies so I expect him to come with a better gameplan here and he has also been a lot better all year in his home starts so I expect a good performance from him here. Zack Wheeler (7-4, 2.66 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he has been really good this year too. He gave up no runs in his most recent start but he was also looking shaky in his starts right before that and he has put up better numbers in their home games all year. He hasn't been great in road games this year with some of his worst starts of the year coming in road games and I think he is going to have another bad road start here since he just saw this lineup in his most recent start. I think the Cardinals have a bit of momentum from that late win over the Braves and I expect that to carry over here. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Cardinals. | |||||||
07-08-22 | Twins -114 v. Rangers | 5-6 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Friday. The Twins have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 2 series in a row now and they even had a chance to sweep the White Sox in their most recent series but they continued to blow leads in that game and went on to lose in extra innings. I think they are a very hot team right now though and I expect them to continue on their run as of late with another win over the Rangers here. The Rangers have lost 6/7 of their previous 7 games and have lost 4 games in a row now, including a sweep by the Orioles in their most recent series. The Rangers are back in their own ballpark for this series but I don't think it will help them much since they haven't been a great home team this year. Jon Gray (4-4, 3.96 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked great for a majority of the year. He put together a really good June but he wasn't pitching well going into June and he has already started off July with another bad start, giving up 4 runs in his most recent start. The Twins have been hot lately, putting up a ton of runs in their games and I expect them to put up runs on Gray here as he begins to regress now. Sonny Gray (4-1, 2.47 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has been great all year. He gave up 3 runs in his most recent start but that has been his worst performance this year and I expect him to bounce back here since he has been better than that all year. I think he is going to shut down the Rangers lineup here that just struggled to put up runs against the Orioles, and the Twins have a top 10 offense in the league so I see them putting up runs here. I like the Twins to win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. | |||||||
07-05-22 | Twins v. White Sox -123 | 8-2 | Loss | -123 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. The White Sox have looked really good lately and are starting to get really hot in their games. They have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games, their only loss being in the 1st game of this series yesterday, but their offense is getting hot and putting up a ton of runs in their games. I think they are going to have another big offensive game here against the Twins and I don't see the Twins putting up a ton of runs here. The Twins have also looked good in their games lately, still leading their division just slightly, but while the White Sox were sweeping the Giants in San Francisco over the weekend, the Twins were just barely scraping by the Orioles in their own ballpark with 2/3 wins in that series and both wins coming by just 1 run. The Twins have looked really good for a majority of the year but they have also been playing a lot better than they actually are and I think they are going to start falling soon. This is the perfect series to do so in with the White Sox just 5.5 games out of 1st place here, they have some real motivation to win the next few games of this series. Chris Archer (2-3, 3.08 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has looked good this year but I think he is going to have a bad start here. The White Sox offense has been getting hot with them scoring a lot more runs lately and Archer has been good this year not giving up a lot of runs, but he also doesn't strikeout a lot of batters and the White Sox know how to get on base here. I think they are going to get on base against him and do some damage to bring in some runs here. Michael Kopech (2-5, 2.78 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he hasn't looked great lately but he has still been their best starter all year and I expect him to bounce back with a good performance like he has given in a majority of his starts this year. He has even faced the Twins 1 time this year and shut them out over 5 innings with 7 strikeouts, his team still lost that game with a blown bullpen save though. The bullpen has been a lot better for the White Sox lately though and they have a lot of good arms in that bullpen so with them looking a lot better now, they will have no issues keeping the Twins off the board here. I like the White Sox to bounce back here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 White Sox. | |||||||
07-05-22 | Cardinals v. Braves -135 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Braves have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games, dropping 1 game to the Reds in their most recent series, but they started this series off against the Cardinals with a win on Monday and I think they are going to make this a 2 game run with another win here. The Braves have looked really good lately, after getting a slow start to the year they had a great June, going on a huge run to shrink the lead of the Mets in the division. They are only 3.5 games behind the Mets now and I expect them to be motivated to keep winning games and take over as the division leader. The Cardinals haven't looked lately, losing 2 games in a row and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They put up 7 runs in the 1 game they won during that time but they haven't been doing much offensively in their other games and I expect that issue to show up again in this game. Ian Anderson (6-5, 5.31 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't looked good lately but he had a decent start to the year and I expect him to bounce back in this game. He gave up 7 runs in 2 innings in his most recent start but that was his worst start of the year and he has been a good pitcher in their home ballpark this year. I don't see him giving up that many runs in this game and he usually strikes out a lot of batters so I expect him to bounce back with a better performance here. Andre Pallante (2-3, 2.10 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has been good this year but he also hasn't had many starts either. He is in his rookie year but is mainly a reliever and has been for a majority of the year. He just started getting starts in his 3 most recent games but he has been giving up runs in every start and is not striking out a lot of batters. The Braves have been really hot with their bats lately and I think the defending World Series champions are going to show Pallante here that he still needs a lot more work in this league to be good. I expect them to bring in runs here and with his lack of strikeouts in his starts, I expect this experienced lineup to drag out their at bats and stretch these innings out for a while. I like the Braves to win this game and continue their run. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. | |||||||
07-05-22 | Guardians -148 v. Tigers | 4-11 | Loss | -148 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. The Guardians have lost 2 games in a row now after stealing a game from the Yankees on Sunday but now they are in jeopardy of losing this series after getting swept in a double header on Monday. I think the Guardians will bounce back here and they are just a few games out of 1st place in their division so I expect them to have some motivation here against 1 of the bad teams in their division. Cal Quantrill (4-4, 3.72 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and I expect him to pitch well in this game like he has all year. He has been giving up runs in his previous starts but he hasn't had many starts where he gives up 4+ runs and he just had a start in his most recent game where he gave up 3 runs but also pitched 8 innings deep. The Tigers don't have a strong lineup here and they actually have 1 of the worst offenses in the league so I expect him to shut the Tigers down here. Drew Hutchison (0-4, 4.81 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he hasn't been great this year. He has mainly made his appearances as a reliever this year but he has had a few where he has given up a ton of runs in less than 2 innings. He has only made 2 starts with this being his 3rd and I expect him to have another bad start here. His 1st 2 starts weren't terrible but he still gave up runs and didn't really pitch past the 4th inning in those games. The Tigers don't have a great bullpen either and the Guardians have been hot with their bats lately, despite losing a lot of games as of late they are still putting up runs. I expect the Guardians to bounce back here against a bad team in their division and use this game to inch close to the Twins leading the division. I like the Guardians here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Guardians. | |||||||
07-04-22 | Twins v. White Sox -122 | 6-3 | Loss | -122 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Monday. The White Sox have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 3 games in a row now, sweeping the Giants in their series over the weekend, and their offense has looked great in those games. They put up 13 runs in their most recent game but they have been putting up a ton of runs in a lot of their games lately and I expect them to continue that here. Their pitching has also been a lot better lately too and they haven't been giving up a ton of runs either. The Twins just played a lot of close games with the Orioles and the Guardians but I think they aren't going to be close in this game. The Twins were putting up a lot of runs but their offense has died down over their previous few games and I expect the White Sox to overpower them with offense here. Dylan Bundy (4-4, 4.71 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he hasn't been great this year. He has been decent in his 3 most recent starts but a majority of his starts this year have been bad starts where he gave up 4+ runs and I expect him to have another bad start here with the White Sox offense getting really hot. Johnny Cueto (2-4, 3.33 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been really good in his starts this year. He has given up 3 runs in 2 starts in a row but he hasn't had many starts this year where he gives up that many runs and I expect him to pitch a good enough game to keep the Twins off the board here. The White Sox have a really good team that haven't been playing like it all year but I think they are going to go on a roll now and I see them winning this game. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 White Sox. | |||||||
07-04-22 | Cubs v. Brewers -144 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Monday. The Brewers have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 6/8 of their previous 8 games and have been on a road trip for a lot of those games. They are back in their own ballpark here and I think they will continue playing well here with another win over a team that hasn't been great this year. The Cubs just beat up on some bad teams winning 4 in a row and they even won their series over the Red Sox who have been good lately but they lost their most recent game in extra innings and I think the Brewers are on a roll here so I expect them to beat the Cubs in their own ballpark. Justin Steele (3-5, 4.39 ERA) is up for the Cubs here and he hasn't been great this year. He has had some bad starts as of late, his 1st start this year was against the Brewers and he pitched great in that game but he has faced them 2 more times since that start and hasn't looked good in either game. I think the Brewers are going to put up some runs on him here and their offense has been really good lately too. Eric Lauer (6-3, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he hasn't been great this year either but he has been pitching a lot better over his 4 previous starts and I expect him to continue improving in this game too with an even better start. I think he will do enough here to keep the Cubs from putting up a lot of runs and the Brewers offense has been hot so I expect them to score runs here. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Brewers. | |||||||
07-03-22 | Cardinals v. Phillies -150 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies. I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The Phillies have looked really good in their games lately winning 2/3 of their previous 3 games. They lost their game yesterday 7-6 to the Cardinals but that was a game they were trailing 5-0 in after the 1st inning but managed to come back and tie it 5-5 then 6-6 again before losing 7-6 in the 9th inning. They still showed a lot of resilience in that game since they were never out of it and I think they are going to have another great offensive game here to put up enough runs to win this time while their pitching has a better day too. Zack Wheeler (6-4, 2.89 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he has been really good this year. He has had a few slip ups in his 2 most recent starts but he didn't even pitch that badly giving up no more than 4 runs in those starts and I expect him to bounce back with a better performance in his own ballpark here. He has been striking out a lot of batters lately too with 8+ strikeouts in 4/5 of his previous 5 starts. I expect him to throw another great game here with a lot strikeouts and I see the Cardinals struggling to put up runs on him here. Adam Wainwright (6-5, 3.07 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has been really up and down as a starter this year. He has pitched really well in some starts and has blown games with a lot of early runs in other games. He just had a great start in his most recent game but he had 2 bad starts in a row right before that and the Phillies offense has been really hot lately. No lead is safe with them lately and unless Wainwright pitches a perfect game here, I don't see them beating the Phillies after that game yesterday. I like the Phillies to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Phillies. | |||||||
07-03-22 | A's v. Mariners -145 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. The Mariners have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they are going to be looking for the series win here with a win in this game. The A's have been a very bad team all year and are 1 of the worst in the league, losing 5/6 of their previous 6 games and even getting swept in their most recent series. Frankie Montas (3-8, 3.20 ERA) is up for the A's here and he hasn't been great this year. He had 2 really good starts in his previous 2 but that hasn't really been a common theme for him with 3 really bad starts in a row right before that and I don't expect him to keep up the way he has been pitching in his 2 previous starts. The Mariners have been missing some players in their lineup lately because of injuries and suspensions but they have still been putting up runs in their games without those players and racking up the hits. Their offense really hasn't skipped a beat and I expect them to put up runs on Montas here when he hasn't been that great this year. Robbie Ray (6-6, 3.78 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he had a rough start to the year but he has been pitching very well lately and is starting to look like the same guy he was when he was pitching for the Blue Jays last year. He has pitched 6+ innings in 4 starts in a row now and hasn't given up more than 1 run in any of those starts. I expect him to continue that here in this game and I see the Mariners winning this game with another great effort from their pitching staff. I like the Mariners to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Mariners. | |||||||
07-02-22 | Angels v. Astros -132 | Top | 1-9 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the LA Angels on Saturday. The Astros just beat the Angels in their most recent game and they have won 4 games in a row now. They are 1 of the best teams in the league and have been winning a lot of their games with a great pitching effort. Their bullpen is 1 of the best in the league and they also have a really good starting rotation too. I think they are going to cause the Angels to have another dry night on offense and I expect the Astros to start getting into gear now that they have been rolling over teams. The Angels have been having a really bad season, they had a lot of issues which led to Joe Maddon being fired but the team has not really done much since then and continues to lose games with bad pitching and a poor offense which should be better than how it is playing. Jose Urquidy (6-3, 4.36 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he has been pitching really well this season. He hasn't been the best starter on their staff but he is getting the job done in their games with 6 wins awarded to him this season and he has been pitching really well lately. He hasn't looked shaky in his previous few starts and he has also been pitching long outings, taking stress off of their bullpen too. Patrick Sandoval (3-2, 2.63 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he has been really good this year but I don't expect him to keep that up since he really hasn't been this good in previous years. I think there is room for him to regress soon and with the Astros being as hot as they are at the moment, this is a great spot for him to do so. I like the Astros to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. | |||||||
07-02-22 | White Sox v. Giants -135 | 5-3 | Loss | -135 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. The White Sox and the Giants just battled it out in a really low scoring game with the White Sox winning 1-0. I expect this game to go the other way in favor of the Giants though since they have lost 2 games in a row now and I don't expect that to continue in their own ballpark. The Giants have been a lot better with their pitching lately and I expect them to throw a great game like they did yesterday, but I also expect their offense to show up here too. Dylan Cease (6-3, 2.56 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been really good lately but he hasn't been like that for a majority of the year and has looked really shaky in a lot of his starts. He has a few starts where he has given up 6+ runs in the games and I think he is going to have another bad game here. The Giants are in their own ballpark and their offense was really hot just over a week ago, I expect their bats to wake up here in their own ballpark and put some runs up against the White Sox who have had some really bad pitching this year from both starters and their bullpen. Logan Webb (7-2, 3.04 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has been great all year as he is 1 of their best pitchers on the staff. He hasn't really looked shaky in any of his starts this year, not giving up many runs in those games, and he has 3 starts in a row now where he hasn't given up more than 1 run. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Giants. | |||||||
07-01-22 | White Sox v. Giants -140 | 1-0 | Loss | -140 | 13 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Friday. The Giants haven't looked good in their games lately, they have really been struggling in their 2 most recent series with some really bad teams in the league and they have been in their own ballpark for those games. They have a good team though and I don't expect them to continue slumping at home for very long before snapping out of it. I expect them to bounce back here and it's not like the White Sox have looked great in their games lately. The White Sox have lost 2 series in a row now and they are giving up a ton of runs in their games. A common theme for them this year has been their bullpen blowing a ton of late leads so even if the White Sox get a lead in this game, I don't expect it to last very long. Lance Lynn (1-1, 6.19 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he hasn't looked good in his starts this year. He has only made 3 starts but has been giving up a ton of runs in all of them and I expect the bats to wake up for the Giants here. He also missed a majority of the season with an injury and I think that is still bothering him since he hasn't looked good at all. I think the Giants are going to put up some runs on him here. Alex Cobb (3-3, 5.48 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he hasn't looked great this year but he has been a lot better in his previous 3 starts and I expect him to continue getting better. He also has some good pitching from their bullpen to follow once he is taken out and I can see the White Sox struggling to put up runs on this staff here. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Giants. | |||||||
07-01-22 | Brewers -185 v. Pirates | 19-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The Brewers just lost their most recent game to the Pirates but they won 4 games in a row right before that and they didn't look that bad in that loss to the Pirates. They were down in that whole game but they kept trying to come back with more runs and made the game really close again even when they were down by a few runs. I expect them to bounce back in this game with a win and their offense has still been hot lately, putting up 7 runs in that previous game. The Pirates had lost 5 games in a row before winning 2 in a row now but they have put up 16 runs in their 2 most recent games and I don't expect their offense to stay this hot for a team that is 14 games under .500. Corbin Burnes (6-4, 2.41 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has been their ace this year. He is having a great year and I don't expect the Pirates to put up a ton of runs on him here like they have in their previous 2 games. Burnes has had 4 great starts in a row now and he has been pitching really deep into his starts lately. I expect him to pitch another great game here and I don't see the Pirates putting up a ton of runs on him. Roansy Contreras (2-1, 2.76 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he has not been terrible this year but he has had a few bad starts and isn't as experienced in the MLB as Burnes. The Brewers have a really good lineup and I expect them to put up runs in this game. The Pirates bullpen hasn't been great in their 2 most recent games either so I see this being more of a 1 sided game here. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Brewers. | |||||||
07-01-22 | Marlins +125 v. Nationals | 6-3 | Win | 125 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins. I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Friday. The Marlins just won their most recent game over the Cardinals but they haven't looked very good lately, losing 3 games in a row before that win. The Nationals are in the opposite position here with a loss in their most recent game but they had won 3 games in a row right before that. They are still a terrible team though and have 1 of the worst records in the NL. The Marlins haven't been great this year but they have been a lot better than the Nats have and I expect the Marlins to get another win here. Trevor Rogers (3-6, 5.86 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he hasn't looked great this year. He hasn't pitched well in his previous 3 starts but I expect him to bounce back here with a good performance. He has already seen the Nats lineup 2 times this year and he had some of his best starts of the year against them. I think he will have another great start considering the Nats have been terrible and are not very strong on offense. Josiah Gray (6-4, 3.82 ERA) is up for the Nats here and he has been really good lately but that hasn't really been a common theme for him this year either. He had a stretch of some really bad starts where he was giving up 4+ runs per start but has had 5 really good starts in a row now. I don't expect that to continue though and I think the Marlins lineup will be able to bring in some runs on him here. I like the Marlins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Marlins. | |||||||
06-30-22 | Brewers -118 v. Pirates | 7-8 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. The Brewers have won 4 games in a row now and just swept the Rays in their most recent mini series. Their pitching has been great in these games and they have been putting up a ton of runs too. They are starting a series against the Pirates here and I expect them to win this series with no issues. The Pirates just won their most recent game over the Nats but they had lost 5 games in a row before that, 2/3 to the Nats, and the Nats have been terrible all year. JT Brubaker (1-7, 4.14 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he hasn't looked really good this year. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts and has been responsible for a ton of losses this Pirates team has had to take. The Brewers have a strong lineup and I expect them to bring in runs on the Pirates here. Adrian Houser (4-8, 4.50 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he hasn't looked great in his 4 most recent starts, giving up a ton of runs in those starts but I expect him to bounce back here against this bad lineup and keep the Pirates off the board. The Brewers lineup has been hot lately and I expect that to continue here, especially with the Pirates bullpen getting used up in their previous game. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Brewers. | |||||||
06-30-22 | Twins v. Guardians -148 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. The Guardians have split 4 games with the Twins in this series and they have a chance to take the series win here. Their offense looked a lot better in their most recent game, putting up 7 runs on the Twins and I expect them to continue their hot hitting here. The Twins had a great start to the year but have not looked good lately and are struggling to keep their spot atop the AL Central. The Guardians have Shane Bieber (3-4, 3.07 ERA) up for this game and he has been having a great year with his pitching. He doesn't give up a ton of runs in his starts and hasn't had a single start this year where he gave up 3+ runs. He has been striking out a ton of batters lately and has been pitching deep into his starts. I expect another great performance from him here as he has been great all year and I think he can shut down the Twins here. Chris Archer (2-3, 3.14 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he had a great start to the year but lately, he has looked shaky in his starts and his ERA has been a lot higher in his most recent starts. He hasn't lasted long in his starts either and I think the Guardians are going to get to him for some early runs here. This is really important to both teams with the struggle for 1st place in the AL Central but I think the Guardians will take this in their own ballpark and put the pressure on the Twins again. I like the Guardians to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Guardians. | |||||||
06-29-22 | Orioles v. Mariners -126 | 3-9 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. The Mariners have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 6/8 of their previous 8 games and I expect them to add another win to that here against the Orioles. The Orioles haven't looked terrible in their games lately but they haven't been a good road team all year and they lost last night to the Mariners without even putting up a run in that game. The Mariners haven't had a tough schedule lately either but they have still been picking up wins over these bad teams and I expect them to pick up another here in this home game. Chris Flexen (3-8, 4.31 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he was having some really bad starts near the beginning of the year but he has looked a lot better lately and hasn't been giving up as many runs in his starts. He has started 6 games in a row without giving up more than 3 runs and I think he can shut down the Orioles offense with his pitching here. Austin Voth (0-0, 7.81 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't had many starts this year with a majority of his appearances coming out of the bullpen, but he has been terrible in those appearances with a lot those seeing him give up 3+ runs in less than 2 innings of play. He has started in his 2 most recent appearances and he hasn't looked bad in those starts but he hasn't pitched more than 3 innings in either of those and he has shown many times this year as a reliever that he doesn't need many innings to blow a game for them. I like the Mariners to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Mariners. | |||||||
06-28-22 | Reds v. Cubs -113 | 5-3 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Cubs. I like the Chicago Cubs to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. The Cubs haven't looked good for a majority of the year but they have been getting better and I like what I have seen from them in their games lately. They didn't look good at all in their series against the Pirates last week but they responded well to that series loss and picked up a series win over the Cardinals on the weekend. They even shutout the Cardinals in 1 of those games with a great pitching performance and I expect them to do the same in this game. Keegan Thompson (7-2, 3.10 ERA) is up for the Cubs here and he has looked great all year, picking up the most wins on this pitching staff this year and being their most reliable arm to go to in these starts. He only had 1 bad start this year where he gave up 7 runs after some great performances coming out of the bullpen earlier this year but he has looked a lot better since that start and went 6+ innings in both of his previous 2 starts, only giving up 1 run between the 2 starts. The Reds haven't been producing a lot of offense this year, it does come in spurts for them but this is still a team that has looked terrible all year and has a lineup that is riddled with injuries. The Reds do have Luis Castillo (2-4, 3.71 ERA) up on the bump for them here but he hasn't had a lot of great starts this year and has also been really up and down too. He just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and 3 runs in his start before that, which isn't terrible but it isn't great either and they are going to need a better performance from here with Thompson pitching on the other side. I expect the Cubs to shut down the Reds here and I see the Cubs putting up some runs on Castillo here. I like the Cubs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Cubs. | |||||||
06-26-22 | Phillies v. Padres -148 | 8-5 | Loss | -148 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The Padres have looked really good in their games lately but they haven't looked great in this series. They have only won 1/3 of the 3 games against the Phillies here and even their win was a very slim 1-0 win in the 2nd game of this series. The Padres have looked really good all year though and I expect them to win this game on the verge of losing a series here. The Phillies weren't looking too good coming into this series since they had lost 3 games in a row and I think they will lose this road game too. Kyle Gibson (4-3, 4.06 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he just had a start where he gave up 3 runs but that has been a common theme for him lately since he has been giving up a lot of runs in his previous 4 starts. He has also been pitching deep into these games too and I think that fatigue is going to catch up with him here since he hasn't been pitching great in those games either. Yu Darvish (7-3, 3.17 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been a bit up and down this year but overall, he has looked really good in his starts and doesn't give up a ton of runs in many games. He hasn't even given up 2+ runs in his 3 most recent starts and he has had a lot of those starts this year where he has been really good like that. I expect him to have another good start like that here in their own ballpark and I see the Padres winning this game because of him and splitting the series here. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Padres. | |||||||
06-26-22 | Red Sox -102 v. Guardians | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. The Red Sox have looked really good in their games lately winning 6 games in a row now and they are going to be trying for the sweep against the Guardians here. Their pitching has been really good lately since they haven't been giving up a lot of runs in their games and they have also been putting up a lot of runs themselves to put themselves in a good position to win their games. The Guardians were getting really hot last week but they have died down a bit now losing 3 games in a row, and I think they are going to make it 4 here. Aaron Civale (2-3, 7.25 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has been terrible all year. He has had multiple starts this year where he gave up 6+ runs and he hasn't even been pitching very deep into his starts either. He has looked a bit better lately but he still hasn't been pitching great with no scoreless outings and I expect him to perform the way he has all year here. Rich Hill (3-4, 4.35 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't been a great pitcher this year but he also hasn't been nearly as bad as Civale has been and I expect Hill to keep his team in this game with a good chance to win. Hill hasn't looked great lately but he is giving up less runs than Civale has been giving up and I think the Red Sox lineup will put up runs on him here since they have been playing really well. I like the Red Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Red Sox. | |||||||
06-24-22 | Nationals v. Rangers -147 | 2-1 | Loss | -147 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers. I like the Texas Rangers to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Friday. The Rangers have won 2 games in a row now and have been getting hot in their ballpark here, putting up some runs in those 2 wins. Their pitching has also been great since they only gave up 2 runs in 2 games against a hot Phillies team. The Nationals haven't looked good this year with 1 of the worst records in the league and I don't see them playing any better in this road game. They have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but those have also been their only 2 wins in their previous 11 games. Paolo Espino (0-1, 2.29 ERA) is up for the Nationals here and he has been great all year as a reliever but that is mainly his role on this staff and he has only started this year in his 2 most recent appearances. He wasn't great in those starts either giving up 3 runs in his most recent start and I think he is going to have a bad performance here against a hot team pitching in a role he isn't used to. Dane Dunning (1-5, 4.38 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked great lately but he has been having a pretty good year overall. He has had 2 bad starts in his previous 3 now but I expect him to bounce back in this home game and his team has been putting up a ton of runs too so I expect him to get the run support in this game. The Rangers have looked good on this mini run they have started here and I expect them to extend that here. I like the Rangers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Rangers. | |||||||
06-23-22 | Astros v. Yankees -120 | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees. I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Houston Astros on Thursday. The Yankees have looked really good all year being the best team in the league at the moment. They have looked really good in their games lately too and they just avoided another loss last night after erasing a 4-0 deficit against the Rays to win 5-4. This team has been really resilient all year and they just don't lose a lot of games since they have been on a tear all year. I think they are going to continue their hot streak here and win another game here against the 2nd best team in the AL at the moment. The Yankees have looked great all year but they have looked even better in their home games. Jameson Taillon (8-1, 2.70 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has looked great all year for them. He has only had a few rough starts this year and even then, he only had 1 start where he gave up more than 3 runs in a game this year. I expect him to be his usual self in this game and the Astros haven't been a great team with their batting this year anyway. I see Taillon shutting the door on them here and I expect a lot of run support for him here too. Framber Valdez (7-3, 2.78 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he has also looked good this year in a majority of his starts, but he has also looked shaky in his 3 most recent starts. He has given up a lot of runs during this time as well as hits and he has also been walking more batters than usual. I think the Yankees will take advantage of anything like that in this game and I don't see Valdez having a really large margin for error here. I see the Yankees busting him open for runs here while Taillon keeps this game at bay for the Yankees. I like the Yankees to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Yankees. | |||||||
06-23-22 | Rockies v. Marlins -142 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins. I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. The Marlins have looked good lately winning 2 games in a row now and they are going for the sweep against the Rockies here. The Rockies just swept the Padres in their own ballpark in their previous series but now they are facing a sweep in this road series and they have really been terrible in road games all year. They have almost double the home wins as they do road wins and I expect this to be another road loss for them here. Braxton Garrett (1-2, 4.85 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has only made 3 starts this year. He hasn't been terrible in his starts but he hasn't been great either. I still think he will perform better in this game though and I expect him to shut down the Rockies here who haven't been hitting well in road games all year. Kyle Freeland (3-5, 4.46 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he has performed similar to Garrett this year but has also pitched in many more games with a much larger sample size. Freeland has consistently been bad in his starts giving up a lot of runs in a lot of his starts and I see him giving up a lot here too. The Marlins have looked good lately and they have been putting up a lot more runs in these home games. I expect them to start catching fire here in their home games and I think they extend their run with this game. I like the Marlins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Marlins. | |||||||
06-22-22 | Phillies -130 v. Rangers | 2-4 | Loss | -130 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies. I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. The Phillies have been really hot since firing their coach but they have lost 2 games in a row now and I expect them to bounce back here. They have been embarrassed in their 2 most recent games, losing in Washington 9-3 and now in Texas 7-0 last night. The Phillies have been putting up a ton of runs lately though and after 2 bad games in a row, I think they will bounce back with a much better performance and I expect to see them split this mini series with a win here. Zack Wheeler (6-3, 2.69 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he has looked good all year. He had a couple of bad starts right at the beginning of the year but he has really been a lot better and has not given up many runs in his previous 6 starts. He has pitched in 6+ inning every game of his previous 6 starts and has only given up 6 runs total during that time. I expect him to pitch another great game here since he has looked great lately and I don't see the Rangers putting up a ton of runs on him. Jon Gray (2-3, 4.27 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked good at all this year. He has looked good in his 2 most recent starts only giving up 1 run total in those starts but that has not been the common theme for him this year. I expect him to regress back to his norm in this game and for a lineup like the Phillies that has been really hot lately, they should put up runs on him here with no issues. I like the Phillies to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Phillies. | |||||||
06-21-22 | Mariners -127 v. A's | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. The Mariners have looked terrible lately losing 3 games in a row and they haven't even put up a run in their 2 previous games but I don't see that happening again here and I think they are catching a bit of a break with the Athletics here. As bad as the Mariners have been lately, the A's have been even worse. They won 2/4 of their previous 4 games but they have looked so bad over the last few weeks and have been losing a ton of games, so many to the point where they are 1 of the worst teams in the league. Marco Gonzalez (3-7, 3.41 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he hasn't been great this year but he hasn't been bad either and lately he has been pitching well. He hasn't given up more than 3 runs in his previous 4 starts and he has even been giving up less and less runs in each start. I expect him to pitch another good game here and he shouldn't run into many issues either with how bad the A's have been lately, he will keep them off the board here. James Kaprielian (0-4, 6.31 ERA) is up for the A's here and he has been terrible this year. He has been struggling all year and has given up 4+ runs in a ton of his starts already, and that has been a common theme for him all year. He has been giving up runs all year and I think this is going to be another game where he gives up a ton of runs and blows this game for the A's. I like the Mariners to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mariners. | |||||||
06-20-22 | Cardinals v. Brewers -163 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Monday. The Brewers have won 3 games in a row now and are starting to get hot again. They just swept the Reds in their most recent series and I expect them to continue on that roll here and win this game over the Cardinals. The Cardinals haven't looked good lately losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games and I expect them to lose another here in this road game. Miles Mikolas (5-4, 2.62 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has been good this year but I think he is due for a bad start here. He has pitched 8+ innings in his 2 most recent starts and I expect that to catch up with him here since he will not be able to keep it up forever. I see him getting hit in this game and I expect a hot team like the Brewers to put up a ton of runs on him here after 2 great starts where he almost pitched full games. Corbin Burnes (4-4, 2.52 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has been their ace this year and a really reliable pitcher for them. He has looked really good in a majority of his starts lately and he hasn't been pitching deep into games either. I think he is going to have another great start against a cold Cardinals team here and I see this game being another win for the Brewers with this pitching matchup. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Brewers. | |||||||
06-20-22 | Yankees v. Rays +118 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the New York Yankees on Monday. The Rays just lost their most recent series to the Orioles over the weekend and that is a really bad look on them but even worse, they were swept by the Yankees in a road series right before that. I think the Rays are going to be looking to bounce back here though and now that they are back in their own ballpark for this series, I expect a better effort from them wanting to get revenge on the Yankees here. The Yankees have been really hot lately but just had their 9 game win streak ended by the Blue Jays yesterday, and I think the Rays can make it 2 losses in a row here. Gerrit Cole (6-1, 3.33 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he just had a really good start where he didn't give up a run but he also has had some really bad starts this year and it has been more of a common theme for him than some of their other starting pitchers in the rotation. Cole has been dealing with issues all year on gripping the ball, he has already made 2 really good starts against the Rays this year and I think they are finally going to put up some runs on him here. He started in 1 of the games last week and I don't expect him to have another outing like that against the same team in such a short period of time. Shane McClanahan (7-3, 1.84 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has been great all year with no bad starts. He has only been charged with 3 earned runs 2 times this year and those were his worst starts of the year. He pitched well against the Yankees last week but did give up some hits and I expect him to come with a better gameplan to throw the Yankee batters off. I like the Rays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Rays. | |||||||
06-19-22 | Guardians v. Dodgers -160 | 5-3 | Loss | -160 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. The Dodgers have been having a bit of a tough time over the previous weeks but they have looked a lot better lately winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games. Their 1 loss was against the Guardians in the 1st game of this series but they won their game against them yesterday 7-1 and I think the Dodgers will get another win here winning this series over the Guardians. The Guardians have been really hot lately winning 5 games in a row before losing their most recent game but I think they are going to pick up another loss here in LA. Shane Bieber (3-3, 3.01 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has been good this year but lately he has looked a bit shaky on the bump and I think the Dodgers can get him for some runs in this game. He just had a start in his most recent game where he gave up 3 runs and he has been giving up a lot of runs in his roads starts specifically this year. He has also been giving up a lot of hits in his road starts and I expect the Dodgers to make good with their opportunities if he gets himself into trouble here with players on base. Andrew Heaney (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has only had 2 starts this year but hasn't given up any earned runs in either of those games and I expect him to do the same here. He is coming off an injury and hasn't pitched since April but he is well rested and I expect him to pick up right where he left off. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Dodgers. | |||||||
06-19-22 | Royals -140 v. A's | 0-4 | Loss | -140 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals. I like the Kansas City Royals to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. The Royals have looked pretty good in their games lately. They have won 3 games in a row now and are on a bit of a roll. They have already won both of their games against the A's in this series and I think they can get the sweep here. The A's have been terrible lately losing 2 games in a row now but they also have just 1 win in their previous 6 games. The A's have only managed to put up 1 run in the 2 games against the Royals while the Royals have put up 7 runs total between the 2 games. Brady Singer (3-1, 4.24 ERA) is up for the Royals here and he has been a good pitcher for them all year. He had 1 bad start this year but has pitched really well in his other starts and just had another good start in his most recent game. The A's are already struggling to put up runs lately and I think Singer is really going to shut them down here. Jared Koenig (0-2, 11.25 ERA) is up for the A's here and he has had a really rough entry into the league. He is still in his rookie year and has only had 2 starts in the league but he was terrible in both starts, giving up 4+ runs in each and I think he is in line to have another bad start here. The Royals have had issues hitting the ball for weeks now but they have really corrected that in their previous few games and I expect that to show here when they put up runs on this rookie and sweep the A's with another win here. I like the Royals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Royals. | |||||||
06-18-22 | Padres -111 v. Rockies | 4-5 | Loss | -111 | 12 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The Padres have looked good lately getting hot in their previous few games. They just lost the 1st game of this series to the Rockies yesterday but they had won 4 games in a row before that and I think they will get back to their winning ways here. Before winning those 4 games in a row, the Padres split a 4 game home series with the Rockies so their 3 most recent losses have all been against the Rockies. I expect them to be angry over that series they should have won and already being down in this series now, I expect them to give their best effort here and win this game to have a chance at winning the series on Sunday. Nick Martinez (2-3, 3.74 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been good this year. He has looked really good in his starts lately, with no bad starts in his previous 5 and he only had 1 game during that time where he gave up 3 runs but that was the most runs he gave up in a game in his 5 most recent starts. Martinez also struck out 9 batters in his most recent start and I expect him to continue that great effort into this game too. German Marquez (3-5, 6.09 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. He didn't look terrible in his 2 most recent starts but those were both road games and the previous 3 times he pitched in his home ballpark at Coors Field he gave up a ton of runs in each start, including 6 runs given up in his most recent start alone. I expect the Padres to play better here and bring in some runs on Marquez who hasn't looked great lately. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 8-5 Padres. | |||||||
06-18-22 | Yankees v. Blue Jays -129 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -129 | 6 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the New York Yankees on Saturday. The Blue Jays have lost 2 games in a row now but both losses were really bad for the Blue Jays. They had a 10-2 loss to the Orioles and then had a 12-3 loss to the Yankees yesterday, both games in their own ballpark. I think they are going to be better in this game though and I expect them to bounce back here. They are playing the beat team in the league at the moment and that should be enough to put some fire in the Blue Jays here and bring in some runs in this game. The Yankees have won 8 games in a row now but I expect that run to end here. The Yankees offense exploded on the Blue Jays yesterday but they just played a series against the Rays where they struggled to score runs because of the Rays pitching and I think they are going to have a similar issue here with the Blue Jays pitching. Alek Manoah (8-1, 1.67 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has been great all year for them. He hasn't given up a run in his 2 most recent starts and he has only had 1 start this year where he gave up more than 2 runs. He always pitches late into their games since he is just that good and he also strikes a lot of batters out in his starts. I expect to see the Yankees struggle here with him pitching and I think the Blue Jays can take advantage. Jameson Taillon (7-1, 2.93 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has also been great this year but he has also looked shaky in his 2 most recent starts and I expect the Blue Jays lineup to bring in some runs on him here. He has given up 7 runs total in his previous 2 starts which isn't that good but he hasn't been striking a lot of batters out either and has been giving up a ton of hits in his starts too. I think the Blue Jays are going to make good of their opportunity here and I expect them to pounce on Taillon here since he hasn't been his best lately. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Blue Jays. | |||||||
06-17-22 | Rangers v. Tigers -116 | 7-0 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Tigers. I like the Detroit Tigers to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Friday. The Tigers have lost 5 games in a row now and they haven't been hitting well in those games either. They only put up 1 run against the Rangers yesterday but they only gave up 3 runs too and I think they can win this game since they have been great at home this year and the Rangers haven't been hitting well lately either. The Rangers may have won yesterday but they had lost 2 games in a row before that to the Astros and they didn't produce a ton of offense in those games. Tarik Skubal (5-3, 2.71 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he has been their ace this year. He has been having a great year, he just had 2 bad starts in his 2 most recent games where he gave up 7 runs total between the 2 starts but those have also been his worst starts this year and I expect him to bounce back here in this home game against a much colder lineup that the previous one he faced. The Rangers are already struggling to put up runs now and I think Skubal will amplify those issues for the Rangers keeping them off the board with a chance for his team to win this game. Jon Gray (1-3, 4.85 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't been good this year. He just had a great start against the White Sox in his most recent start but that has been the exception this year since he has been really up and down in his starts but has been giving up a ton of runs in a majority of his starts this year. He has given up 4+ runs in multiple starts this year and I think his bad pitching will be enough to get this Tigers offense going here. I like the Tigers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Tigers. | |||||||
06-17-22 | Brewers -104 v. Reds | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. The Brewers just went through a bit of a slump where they were losing a lot of games and not putting up a ton of runs either. They still haven't looked great lately losing their previous series but their offensive production is up and I expect them to beat up on a bad Reds team in this series, getting back to their winning ways. The Reds have looked good lately winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games but they haven't had a really strong schedule as of late either and I think the Brewers are the strongest team they are playing during this stretch. Eric Lauer (5-2, 3.36 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has looked good in a majority of his starts this year. He is coming off a terrible start in his previous game where he gave up 8 runs but he was pitching great before that and I expect him to bounce back here with a much better performance. Hunter Greene (3-7, 5.10 ERA) is up for the Reds here and he is still in his rookie year but hasn't been great overall this year. He has pitched well in his 2 most recent starts but he had 2 games right before that where he gave up a total of 9 runs in the 2 starts and I think he is going to have another bad start here after those 2 good ones he just had. Consistency has been an issue for him this year and I see him getting beat up on by the Brewers lineup here which has been batting much better in their games lately. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Brewers. | |||||||
06-15-22 | Pirates v. Cardinals -160 | 6-4 | Loss | -160 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. The Cardinals have looked really good lately and have really been beating up on these bad teams in their division. They have won 2 games in a row now and are going for the sweep of this series here but they also won their series before this over the Reds and they have been putting up a ton of runs in the process. Their pitching has also been great lately, only giving up 2 runs total in their 2 most recent games but Mikolas also pitched a full game in their most recent, almost getting the no-hitter, so their bullpen should be fresh for this game. I think they are going to continue pitching well here and their offense has been so hot so I expect them to put up runs here too. The Pirates have been terrible lately losing 9 games in a row now and they have also been swept in their 2 most recent series. I expect them to get swept for their 3rd in a row here though. Roansy Contreras (1-1, 2.57 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he hasn't been bad this year with no terrible starts under his belt yet but he is still new to this league and it's only a matter of time until a team really gets to him. I think the Cardinals are going to do that here with this hot offense and he doesn't normally pitch very deep into games either so I definitely see the Cardinals scoring on their bullpen here too. Jack Flaherty (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he is pitching in his 1st start of the year here after coming back from an injury that has been keeping him out. He has been a really good pitcher throughout his career though and I expect a good performance out of him here against a bad team that isn't hitting well at the moment. I think the Cardinals are going to continue their run here and sweep the Pirates. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Cardinals. | |||||||
06-13-22 | Reds v. Diamondbacks -142 | 5-4 | Loss | -142 | 12 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Diamondbacks. I like the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. The D-backs just won their most recent game over the Phillies on Sunday avoiding a sweep by them and now that their bats have gotten hot again I expect them to win this game over the Reds in their own ballpark. The D-backs just split a 4 game series with the Reds less than a week ago but they put up a ton of runs in that entire series and I expect them to the same here again. The Reds were starting to put a bit of a run together but then they lost 4 games in a row with their offense really dying down in those games. They just won their most recent game over the Cardinals but haven't looked good lately in any games before that. Mike Minor (0-2, 8.64 ERA) is up for the Reds here and he just came back from an injury but hasn't looked good in his 2 starts. He missed the 1st 2 months of the season due to his injury and just had his 1st start this June but he has given up 8 runs in a little over 8 innings pitched and I think he is going to have another bad game here and give up a ton of runs to a hot hitting team. Merill Kelly (5-3, 3.32 ERA) is up for the D-backs here and he has looked great all year. He has only had 1 really bad start this year but other than that he doesn't give up a lot of runs in his starts. I think he is going to continue the way he has been pitching this year in this game and I expect him to keep the Reds offense dried up while the D-backs bring in the runs on Minor and the Reds here. I like the Diamondbacks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Diamondbacks. | |||||||
06-12-22 | Rays -113 v. Twins | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. The Rays have lost 2 games in a row now, both against the Twins losing the 1st 2 games of this series, but they had just swept the Cardinals in their previous series and their pitching has been good lately. I think they have a much better pitching matchup in this game and I expect them to win this game avoiding the sweep here. Their offense hasn't been great lately but it has really picked up in this series. They lost the 1st game 9-4 but jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the previous game. They still lost that game 6-5 but still made a bit of a comeback after coughing up the lead and going down by a few runs. I expect their offense to be better here since their bats have been getting hot and I think their pitching will keep them in this game. Jeffrey Springs (2-2, 1.62 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has been having a great year so far. He has been great in his appearances as a reliever which is what he started the year as but in his previous 6 appearances he has been a starter and has looked really good in those games too. His 1st 2 starts were a bit shaky as he only went a little over 4 innings in both of those but only gave up 3 runs total, all 3 coming in 1 game, and his 4 most recent starts have all been great with him going at least 5 innings and not giving up more than 2 runs in any starts. The Twins have Cole Sands (0-2, 8.49 ERA) here and he hasn't looked great this year in his 1st year in the league. He has made 4 appearances, his 1st 2 as a reliever where he gave up 3 runs total in 4 inning, and his 2 most recent were as a starter where he gave up 4 runs in both starts and only pitched in a little under 8 innings. He has had a rough entry into the MLB and I think that is going to continue for him here. I like the Rays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rays. | |||||||
06-12-22 | Orioles v. Royals -123 | 10-7 | Loss | -123 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals. I like the Kansas City Royals to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. The Royals have already guaranteed themselves a split here winning the 1st 2 games of this series but they finally gave 1 up to the Orioles in the most recent game. That was a close 6-4 loss for the Royals but I think they have looked like the better team in this series. The Royals were starting to get a bit hot in their previous series, stealing the last game of that series against the Blue Jays and avoiding the sweep, but their bats are really getting hot now and I think they can take this game to win this home series. Brad Keller (1-7, 4.19 ERA) is up for the Royals here and he hasn't looked good this year with his previous few starts being really bad but I think he is due for a bounce back here. His team has been hitting the ball well in this series and I expect them to back him up with a lot of run support here. Dean Kremer (0-1, 6.23 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he has only pitched in 1 game this year, he started that game and gave up 3 runs in a little over 4 innings. He has been out for a majority of the year with an injury though and that only start for him this year was his 1st game back. I expect him to give up runs again here and I also don't see him going deep into the game but the Orioles bullpen hasn't looked any good lately and I expect the Orioles to give up runs against a hot hitting team here. I like the Royals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Royals. | |||||||
06-11-22 | Red Sox v. Mariners -121 | Top | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. The Mariners lost a really close game to the Red Sox last night 4-3 but the Mariners have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to bounce back at home here. The Red Sox have also been really hot lately but they just struggled to beat the Angels in their previous series, winning 3 games by 1 run and losing the last which ended a long drought for the Angels, and now they just won another game over the Mariners but by 1 run again. I think the Red Sox are cooling off now and I expect them to lose another game here in Seattle. George Kirby (1-1, 3.38 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has looked good in his starts this year. He has had 2 bad starts this year but overall, he has looked pretty good and I think he will keep the Red Sox from putting up a lot of runs here in their home ballpark. Michael Wacha (4-1, 1.99 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has been having a great year but I also think he has been pitching too well and is overachieving a bit for this year. I expect some regression on his end and I think this is the perfect spot for him to regress on the road in Seattle after pitching a great game on the road in his previous start. He gave up no runs and only 3 hits after pitching a full game against the struggling Angels and I don't see him repeating that performance again here, especially since that previous start was him coming back from an injury that kept him out a few weeks. I think this is a good spot for the Mariners to get to him since they have been hitting really well lately. I like the Mariners to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners. | |||||||
06-10-22 | Rockies v. Padres -227 | 0-9 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Friday. The Padres have won 2 games in a row now but they also have wins in 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They have been putting up a lot runs in their games too, even their losses, and I don't see that stopping in this game with how hot their bats have been lately. Their pitching has also been really good in their games lately, not giving up a ton of runs in their games and they have only given up 2 in their 2 most recent games. Joe Musgrove (6-0, 1.64 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been great all year with his worst start being a few games where he gave up 2 runs in them. He has been a really reliable pitcher for them this year and I can't see him giving up a ton of runs to the Rockies here. Chad Kuhl (4-2, 3.17 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he has been good in his 3 most recent starts but he has also had a few bad starts on this West Coast before those good games and I think he is going to get hit here with that Padres offense getting hot. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Padres. | |||||||
06-10-22 | Pirates v. Braves -202 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The Braves have really started to bust out of their shell lately and they have been getting really hot in their games. They have won 8 games in a row now and I don't see that ending in Pittsburgh here. The Braves have been winning their games lately with great pitching since they haven't given up a ton of runs but pitching has always been a strength for them. Now they are smacking the ball too and they have put up a ton of runs in their games as of late. I expect that to continue in this game too since they just put up 13 runs on the A's in their most recent game. Roansy Contreras (1-0, 1.93 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and I expect him to get hit in this game. He is still really new to the league, only in his 2nd year, but he hasn't really had a bad game yet where he pitched terribly. I think that game is coming though and this is not the lineup you want to run into when their bats are this hot lately. I think the Braves are going to put up runs once again here and I see them dominating the Pirates in this game. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. | |||||||
06-09-22 | Nationals +129 v. Marlins | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Nationals. I like the Washington Nationals to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Thursday. The Nationals have lost 2 games in a row now, both games being the 1st 2 of this series, but I think they are going to break out of that funk here and get a win avoiding the sweep. The Nats were a huge dog yesterday and they still lost but in a really close game 2-1 and I think they can keep the Marlins from hitting a lot in this game too. Stephen Strasburg (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is up for the Nats here and he hasn't pitched at all this year since he is coming off an injury but he is making his season debut here and I think he is going to pick up where he left off. He has had a really nice career over the years, he only pitched in 5 games last year before his season ended with an injury but he was looking good in those starts and now after having so much time off to recover, I expect him to be better than ever in this start. He hasn't faced the Marlins lineup in years now too and I think that gives him a bit of an advantage here with his pitches in this game. Trevor Rogers (2-5, 5.80 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he hasn't looked good this year. He has had some really bad starts but a majority of them have been happening lately with his previous 3 starts seeing him give up 13 runs total. He is on a downward spiral right now and I don't see him turning it around in this game with the Nats itching for a win in this series here. I expect him to pitch another bad game here and I see the Nats putting up runs in this game. I like the Nationals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Nationals. | |||||||
06-06-22 | Red Sox v. Angels -113 | 1-0 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Angels are in the middle of a huge slump, losing 11 games in a row and they haven't looked all that great during this time but this team is a lot better than the way they have been playing and I think they are going to bounce back here. They finally got their offense rolling yesterday when they put up 7 runs on the Phillies, but they blew a 5 run lead in that game and went on to lose it late with a bullpen implosion. They showed signs of life though and I think being back in their ballpark for this series, they are going to play much better and break out of their funk here. The Red Sox have won 4 games in a row now and they just swept their series against the A's over the weekend but they have been really up and down this year and I expect the Angels to get a much needed win here. Noah Syndergaard (4-3, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he had a great start to the year but has looked shaky in his starts lately. He has given up 10 runs in his previous 3 starts but I expect him to bounce back here and get back to the way he was pitching to start the year. Michael Wacha (3-1, 2.43 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has looked great this year but lately he has also looked shaky and I think he has been playing a bit better than he actually is so far. I see him getting hit here by an offense that is starting to wake up and I expect the Angels to get a win after a long slump here. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Angels. | |||||||
06-06-22 | Mariners v. Astros -154 | 7-4 | Loss | -154 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Seattle Mariners on Monday. The Astros lost 1 game to the Royals over the weekend but they have been on a roll lately and that was their only loss in their previous 7 games. They have looked really good and they really racked up the runs in those 2 games they won against the Royals. The Astros have been putting up a ton of runs and I think they are going to be out for their revenge here. The Mariners just won a series in their ballpark against the Astros less than 2 weeks ago and I think the Astros are going to try and get those wins back here in their ballpark now. The Astros did play a home series against the Mariners earlier this year and they swept the Mariners then so I expect the Mariners to struggle in this road series again since they have been struggling in road games all year too. Robbie Ray (4-6, 4.93 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he hasn't looked good this year. He has had some really bad starts this year but lately he has looked terrible, giving up 3+ runs in 4 starts in a row now and that has been consistent over his previous 7 starts too. He has been struggling in every start and I expect this game to be no different for him, especially with the bats so hot for the Astros now. Cristian Javier (3-2, 2.41 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he has looked great this year. He has only had 1 bad start this year while all his other starts saw him only giving up 1 or no runs in his starts, with the odd game where he gave up 2. I think he has looked great all year and I expect him to continue pitching well here. I think the Astros are going to continue to roll here. I like the Astros to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. | |||||||
06-05-22 | Diamondbacks -145 v. Pirates | 0-3 | Loss | -145 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Diamondbacks. I like the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. These 2 have split the series so far but this game is to decide a series winner here and I think the D-Backs are going to win this game and take the series here. The D-Backs haven't looked great lately but they are still winning games and not losing a ton, I expect them to get this win since they have been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately. The Pirates are in the same boat as the D-Backs but after a sweep of the Dodgers in their previous series, they have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games now. They have been really hot and are on a roll here but I don't think the Pirates are that great and I expect them to start regressing a bit here. Zac Gallen (4-0, 2.32 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he has been great all year with only 1 bad start under his belt. He gave up 6 runs against the Royals just a few weeks ago but other than that 1 bad start, he has only had 1 other start where he gave up 2 runs and hasn't given up more than 0 or 1 runs in any other start this year. Gallen has looked great and I think he is going to keep the Pirates from scoring here, and the Pirates haven't been great on offense lately either. Zach Thompson (2-4, 5.18 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he hasn't looked that great this year. Thompson had a terrible start to the season giving up a ton of runs in his 1st 4 starts. He started to pitch better after that with 3 great starts in a row but now he has been looking shaky again in his 2 most recent starts. The D-Backs have been hitting the ball well all year and scoring a ton of runs in their games, even if they do lose that game. I think the D-Backs are going to beat up on him here. I like the Diamondbacks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Diamondbacks. | |||||||
06-04-22 | Braves -160 v. Rockies | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The Braves have won 3 games in a row now and they have looked really good in these games lately. They have been putting up a lot of runs after their offense was really cold in the 1st month but they have been getting hot now and their pitching has also been there to back them up in these games too. The Rockies have been better in their home games this year but they haven't looked good lately and I think they are going to lose here again to a team that is really getting hot and back into World Series form like the defending champions that they are. Spencer Strider (1-2, 2.83 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he just pitched in his 1st start of the year in his most recent game, but he has made plenty of appearances out of the bullpen this year. He has looked really good in his appearances as a reliever, giving up no more than 2 runs just 1 time and pitching anywhere from 1-4 innings in his games played. His most recent appearance wasn't great but that was his 1st start and I think he is going to bounce back with a better performance here. This game is at Coors Field so there are going to be runs scored here but I expect his team to back him up with the way they have been hitting and scoring lately. Kyle Freeland (1-5, 4.96 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he hasn't looked great this year with multiple starts where he has given up 5+ runs in the game. He has looked really bad in all 4 of his most recent starts too, and i think this is going to be another bad game for him in this big ballpark with a hot hitting team in town. I expect the Braves to continue on their run here and win this game. I like the Braves to win here. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Braves. | |||||||
06-04-22 | Diamondbacks v. Pirates -126 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Pirates. I like the Pittsburgh Pirates to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. The Pirates have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue what they have been doing here. The Pirates have won 2/3 of their previous 3 series now, with 1 series win against the Rockies and 1 series sweep against the Dodgers in LA in their most recent series. They only took 1 game against the Padres in their series between those 2 series they won but they still looked good in every game and their 2 losses were by both really close games, losing 1 game by 1 run and the other by 2 runs. The D-Backs have also looked good lately winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games but their offense has been really up and down too and I think their bats are going to go cold again here. Roansy Contreras (1-0, 2.55 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he has looked good in all of his games played in this year. He normally doesn't start in games but he has started in his 2 most recent appearances and he went 5 innings in both while giving up no more than 2 runs in either game. He has also had some good performances out of the bullpen this year and I think he is going to continue pitching well here. Zach Davies (2-3, 4.84 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he hasn't looked great this year. His team isn't finding a lot of success with him on the bump this year and lately he has been giving up a lot of runs in all of his starts over his previous 4. The Pirates have looked good on offense lately and they have a lot of confidence here from their success as of late. I think they are going to put up runs on the D-Backs here and I expect them to win this game. I like the Pirates here. T.M. Selection: 5-2 Pirates. | |||||||
06-03-22 | Mets v. Dodgers -145 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the New York Mets on Friday. The Dodgers won the 1st game of this series yesterday 2-0 over the Mets after losing 3 games in a row before that. They didn't just lose 3 games in a row though, they lost an entire 3 game series in their own ballpark to the Pirates who have been terrible this year. I think that sweeping really lit a fire under them and I expect them to come out angry here, putting up some runs on the Mets to get a series win here and bounce back. The Mets just won 6 games in a row before losing yesterday and I think they are going to slip into a bit of a slump here. They were putting up a lot of runs in their ballpark but ended off their previous series with a win where they put up 5 runs, and then they failed to score at all in their 1st game against the Dodgers yesterday. Chris Bassitt (4-2, 3.66 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has had some really good starts this year, but he has also had some really bad starts and when he does he tends to give up a ton of runs in those games. He just had a really good start where he only gave up 1 run in his most recent start but right before that, he had a start where he gave up 8 runs in less than 5 innings and even gave up 4 runs in his start before that really bad game. Bassitt can unravel in his starts at any moment and I think the Dodgers starter here has been more consistent in his starts this year. Tyler Andersen (6-0, 2.90 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has been great this year. He had 1 bad start this year where he gave up 7 runs in 6 innings and hasn't had a start where he gave up more than 2 runs in the game other than that 1. Bassitt has been a lot more up and down than Andersen has been and I think this is a good bounce back for the Dodgers after a bad series. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
06-03-22 | Padres v. Brewers -153 | 7-0 | Loss | -153 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the San Diego Padres on Friday. The Brewers just took the 1st game of this series with a close win by 1 run but I think they are going to get another win over the Padres in their ballpark here. The Brewers have only lost 2 of their previous 7 games and they have been putting up the runs in those games too, even in their losses. I think they are going to put some runs up here and I expect the Padres to have another bad offensive game here since their bats have been really cold lately. Corbin Burnes (3-2, 1.95 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has been great all year with only 1 bad game where he gave up 4 runs in 6 innings, and that was his worst start of the year. He has been great in all of his other starts and I think he is going to have another great start here. The Padres have been struggling to put up runs lately and I think with Burnes on the bump here, it's only going to make the Padres job harder here to score. Joe Musgrove (5-0, 1.86 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has also been great this year, being awarded with 5 wins and no losses yet but I think that run is coming to an end here. He has been so good this year that his worst start was a few starts where he was only charged with 2 earned runs but I don't think that is going to be sustainable for much longer and I expect him to have a bad start sooner or later. The Brewers have been hitting well and putting up the runs lately, I think they can get to Musgrove here. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Brewers. | |||||||
05-31-22 | Brewers -124 v. Cubs | 7-8 | Loss | -124 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The Brewers have won 3 games in a row now and have looked good in their games, even winning a double header yesterday. They have been putting up a lot of runs in their games too but their pitching has also been great since they have given up 1 run or less in 2/3 of their previous 3 games. The Cubs have lost 3 games in a row now and I think they are going to continue their run of losses here. Eric Lauer (5-1, 2.31 ERA) is up for the Brewers and he has looked great in his starts this year. He has only given up more than 3 runs in 2 starts this year and has been pitching well in all of his other starts. Justin Steele (1-5, 5.40 ERA) is up for the Cubs here and he is fairly new to the league with this being his 2nd year in the MLB but he hasn't looked that great in his starts either. He just gave up 7 runs in his most recent start and has been giving up quite a bit of runs in a majority of his starts this year too. The Brewers have been putting up runs in their games lately and I think they are going to continue to do so here. The Cubs haven't been great and these are the kinds of series that the Brewers are looking to win and spread the gap in their division. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Brewers. | |||||||
05-30-22 | Braves -110 v. Diamondbacks | 2-6 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. The Braves just put up a series win against the Marlins after splitting their series before that, but they have still looked really good in their games lately and haven't lost a series in their previous 4. They have been putting up a lot more runs lately and I think they are going to continue that here against the D-Backs who I think have been overachieving lately and are due for some regression. The Diamondbacks looked really good in a majority of their games over the last 2 weeks but they finally just got swept by the Dodgers in a 4 game series and I expect them to start coming back down to Earth a bit since their team is not really as good as they were playing. Zac Gallen (3-0, 2.22 ERA) is up for the Diamondbacks here and he has looked great all year but he finally looked shaky in his most recent start, giving up 6 runs in 5 innings and against the Royals too who have a really bad team this year and are at the bottom of their division. Now that Gallen is starting to show some cracks in his armor, I think he is going to get touched again here for some runs and he will be facing a much tougher lineup than the Royals too. The Braves also started off really slow this year and have started to get hot now and are putting up a lot of runs in their games. Spencer Strider (1-1, 2.22 ERA) is up for the Braves here and this will be his 1st start of the year but he has already played many games this year as a reliever and even went 3+ innings in a lot of those games. He hasn't had a bad game yet and I don't think he is going to be in this game long enough to do damage to his own team either. I expect a good pitching effort from the Braves here and a great offensive effort too. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Braves. | |||||||
05-30-22 | Padres +100 v. Cardinals | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego padres to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Monday. The Padres looked a lot better in their previous series with a series win over the Pirates and I think they are going to continue to get hot here with another win in this game. The Cardinals haven't looked bad either in their games lately but they just split their 2 most recent series and they lost their most recent game 8-0 to the Brewers in their own ballpark, their offense going completely cold in that game. Nick Martinez (2-2, 3.86 ERA) is up for the Padres here and was not pitching well at the beginning of the year but he has been pitching a lot better in his starts lately and I think he is going to continue pitching well here since he has only had 1 game in his previous 6 starts where he gave up more than 2 runs. Packy Naughton (0-1, 2.89 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has had made a few appearances in games already this year, but he has only made 1 start and he gave up 3 runs in 3 innings in that start, which was also the longest number of innings he has pitched in a game all year. He is not going to offer the Cardinals a lot of innings to pitch in this game and this will end up being a bullpen game for them which, after what the Brewers did to their bullpen yesterday, it will be tough for them to find some good arms to use for this game. The padres have been pretty consistent with their scoring lately while the Cardinals have been up and down and I think the Padres will put up runs here while Martinez stays sharp here. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Padres. | |||||||
05-29-22 | Brewers -130 v. Cardinals | Top | 8-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The Brewers were looking really good in their games before coming into this series, they have lost 2/3 games of this series so far but there is still 1 more game here and I don't expect this to be a series that the Brewers are going to lose. The Brewers are the better team here and have looked a lot better than the Cardinals all year. The Brewers also have Corbin Burnes (2-2, 2.18 ERA) up in this game and he is their ace pitcher on the staff this year. He looked a bit shaky in his start against the Braves over a week ago, giving up 4 runs in that game, but other than that 1 bad start he has been really good all year. He has only given up 3+ runs in 2/9 starts this year and I think he is going to continue to pitch well in this game too. Miles Mikolas (3-2, 1.96 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has also been pitching great all year but he hasn't really had a bad start at all this year. The only time he gave up 3+ runs in a start was in his most recent start but he has been starting to look shaky in his starts lately and I think he is due for a bit of regression here. I think he is due to give up some runs here and the Brewers have a really good batting lineup that will make him pay for any mistakes he makes on the bump. I expect the Brewers to come with a great effort here and get this win so they don't lose this series to a division rival. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Brewers. | |||||||
05-28-22 | Rangers v. A's -105 | 11-4 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletics to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. They A's have already dropped the 1st 2 games of this series and there is no way they can win it now but they still have a chance to split the series and I expect them to bounce back here with a win in their own ballpark. The A's didn't look great in the 1st game of this series losing 4-1 after a good start with their pitching but they looked a lot better in the previous game, losing 8-5 in that game but they played well with a 5-2 lead for a majority of the game, their bullpen just blew it for them in the last 3 innings. I think their bullpen will bounce back here though and the A's are getting a bit of a break with the pitching matchup too. The Rangers have Taylor Hearn (2-3, 5.77 ERA) up for them here and he has looked consistently bad in his starts this year. He just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and has given up 4+ runs in half of his starts this year. He has not made it into the 6th inning of any start this year either and has only struck out 4 batters in his 2 most recent starts. The A's looked a lot better yesterday with their offense and I think they will have another good game here offensively but I expect them to keep putting up the runs here and make sure they hang onto that lead this time. Zach Logue (2-3, 4.43 ERA) is up for the A's here and he just gave up 7 runs in his most recent start but that was just 1 bad game and he looked really good in the 4 starts he made before that bad game. I think he is going to bounce back with a better performance here and I expect his team to offer a lot of run support knowing he is still a rookie. I like the A's to bounce back and win here. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Athletics. | |||||||
05-27-22 | Blue Jays -115 v. Angels | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. The Blue Jays have won 2 games in a row including the 1st game of this series yesterday and I think they can win this game too. Their offense is starting to get hot again with 14 runs scored in their 2 most recent games and I think they can continue that good run of scoring here. The Angels have lost 2 games in a row now and their offense has really died down in those games. They have only put up 5 runs in their 2 most recent games while giving up 13 runs. I think the Blue Jays offense is going to have another big game here and I expect them to put up the runs again. Chase Silseth (1-1, 2.61 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he hasn't been bad this year but he has also pitched in 2 games only. He is also a rookie so those 2 starts are the only 2 MLB games he has ever pitched in in his career and both starts were against the A's too who don't have a very good lineup. I think the Blue Jays are going to get to him here for some runs and I expect Silseth to look shaky again after giving up 3 runs in his most recent start. Alek Manoah (5-1, 1.62 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has been having a great year, I expect that to continue here. He hasn't given up more than 2 earned runs in a start this year and he just pitched through 8 innings in his most recent start while only giving up 1 run in that game. He has been a great pitcher all year and I think he will have another great game here to help put the Blue Jays on top in this game. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. | |||||||
05-25-22 | Phillies v. Braves -163 | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. The Braves won the previous game in this series against the Phillies and they haven't been winning a ton of games lately but they have been winning a majority of their games and have looked good in the games with their scoring. The Braves took a lead in their game last night and they maintained that lead for the whole game, the Phillies tried to fight back but every time they did the Braves would just score again and keep their lead. This is an important game for since they play in the same division and this is a series that the Braves will want to win and take advantage of in their own ballpark here. I think the Braves are getting hot now after that win last night and I expect them to continue playing well here. Charlie Morton (3-3, 4.95 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't been great this year but he was a lot worse at the beginning of the season and has started to pitch a lot better lately. The team has also been winning a lot more games lately with him pitching and I think he is going to continue to get better as the season goes on. Ranger Suarez ( 4-2, 4.12 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he hasn't looked great in his starts lately. He just gave up 3 runs in B2B starts and he has been giving up 3+ runs in a majority of his starts this year. The Braves are hitting a lot better lately and I think they will put up some runs on Suarez in this game. I also think Morton will continue to pitch well here and I expect him to keep the Phillies from scoring a lot here. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Braves. | |||||||
05-24-22 | Rangers v. Angels -152 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. The Angels just put up a good series against the A's over the weekend and I expect them to continue that into this series. The Angels just faced the Rangers last week and the Rangers swept them in their ballpark in a 3 game series. Now the Angels are back at home for this mini series and I expect them to be looking for revenge here with a sweep of their own in mind. Noah Syndergaard (3-2, 3.60 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he has looked good all year except for 1 start where he pitched a really bad game, the only game he has given up 4 runs or more in this year. That bad start was just last week against the Rangers but I expect him to pitch a much better game here and ensure that doesn't happen again to him. Dane Dunning (1-2, 3.92 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has been good this year but he hasn't been great either with a lot of his starts seeing 3+ runs given up in them. He faced the Angels in his most recent start and he gave up 2 runs but still pitched a very good game. I think it will be hard for him to pitch another good game here though with the Angels looking for revenge from getting swept and his most recent start being a game against the Angels. There hasn't been a lot of time and unless he comes with some fresh pitches that he didn't use last week against them, I see him getting rocked in this game for a lot of runs. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Angels. | |||||||
05-23-22 | Blue Jays +105 v. Cardinals | 3-7 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Monday. The Blue Jays just lost their most recent game against the Reds in a close 3-2 game but they did win that series and are starting to get back on track after going into a bit of a slump over the past few weeks. The Cardinals just won 3 games in a row but they were playing the Pirates in that series who are 1 of the worst teams in the league and I think they are going to struggle a lot more with the Blue Jays here. The Cardinals didn't look good before running into the Pirates in that series and I think they will have some issues against the Blue jays who are a lot better than the team they just saw. Jose Berrios (3-2, 4.83 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he hasn't looked great in some of his starts lately but he just pitched a really good game in his most recent start and I expect him to repeat that here since most of his starts have been good this year. Miles Mikolas (3-2, 1.68 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked really good in all of his games this year but he has yet to have a bad start and I think there is 1 coming up for him here. He gives up a lot of hits in the games he has started and I think that will come back to bite him here. The Blue Jays have been hitting the ball well and they are a big home run hitting kind of team. I expect them to put up runs on Mikolas here now that their offense has looked a lot better lately. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Blue Jays. | |||||||
05-22-22 | Dodgers -126 v. Phillies | 3-4 | Loss | -126 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The Dodgers have looked really good lately winning 7 games in a row now. They swept the Diamondbacks in 4 games and they have won the 1st 2 games of this series against the Phillies. I think they are going to be looking for the sweep here and I expect them to still have a bad taste in their mouths from their previous series with the Phillies. They just saw the Phillies about a week ago and they lost 3/4 games to them in their own ballpark, only winning the final game of that series. That win started the 7 game run they are on at the moment though and they will be looking to sweep the Phillies in this last game, getting their revenge for that other series a week ago. The Phillies haven't really looked that great lately with 3 losses in a row and they went on to lose their previous series to the Padres after beating the Dodgers in that series. They have been slipping in those games lately and I think they are going to continue to slip in this game too. Zach Eflin (1-3, 3.90 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he hasn't had a terrible year but he hasn't been great either. He just pitched a good game only giving up 1 run in 6 innings but he gave up 5 runs in his start before that and has been very up and down with his starts all year. Tony Gonsolin (4-0, 1.64 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has been really consistent with his pitching this year, surprisingly being 1 of the best pitchers the Dodgers have to offer on their rotation here. He hasn't had a bad start this year with not 1 game where he gave up more than 2 runs in it. The team has also won a majority of their games when he starts and I think that is going to continue when he pitches another great game here. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
05-21-22 | Braves -135 v. Marlins | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Braves took the 1st game of this series and I think they are going to take another game here since they have looked really good lately and have been putting up a lot of runs in their games. The Marlins haven't looked good lately losing 2 games in a row but they just came out of a little slump and have been winning more games lately but they still haven't looked great in those games. Kyle Wright (3-2, 2.79 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been having a great year. He had 1 bad start this year but he bounced back in his previous start and he has looked great in every other game he has pitched in. Elieser Hernandez (2-3, 6.15 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he hasn't looked great in their games lately. He hasn't pitched well in a lot of games this year and he has been consistently bad in his starts, with not a single start this year where he didn't give up a run at all. He has given up 3+ runs in a majority of his starts this year and in a lot of those games he has been giving up 4+ runs. I think he is going to pitch another bad game here and he has already had 1 against the Braves earlier this year. He gave up 5 runs in his start against the Braves earlier this year and that was also the game that he gave up the most hits in this year. He has also had an issue with striking batters out in his most recent starts and I think he is going to struggle to get out of innings in this game since the Braves have been hitting and scoring a lot more lately. I think this is going to be another win for the Braves here, I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Braves. | |||||||
05-19-22 | Padres -102 v. Phillies | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. The Padres have split the 1st 2 games of this series with the Phillies and are going for the series win here. I think the Padres can take this game and the series here since they have looked really good in their games lately. The Phillies have looked good in their games lately too but I think the pitching matchup is more favorable for the Padres here and I expect them to take this road game. Yu Darvish (3-1, 4.62 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has had a pretty good year so far. He hasn't pitched great in his starts lately but he has also had some gems this year and I think he will bounce back in this game with a much better performance. The team is also finding success with him as a starter this year since his team has won 5 games in a row with him starting. Kyle Gibson (3-1, 4.10 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he hasn't been great in a lot of his starts this year. He just gave up 6 runs in his most recent start, pitching less than 4 innings in that game and I think he is going to have another bad performance here since he has been up and down all year with his pitching. The Padres have also looked really good hitting the ball this year and have been putting up a ton of runs in a lot of their games. The Phillies have been batting well lately but they have been very up and down with their batter this year and could go cold at anytime. I think this is a good game for the Padres to win. I like the Padres to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Padres. | |||||||
05-18-22 | Braves v. Brewers -130 | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 2 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Both of these teams have already won a game in this series which means the winner of this game will be the winner of the series. Both games were very low scoring but I think the Brewers are going to be the team to come away with this home win. They looked really good before this series and I think their bats are going to get hot here after a game where they didn't even score a run. The Braves have been cooling off lately and haven't really scored a ton of runs in their 3 most recent games. Max Fried (4-2, 3.14 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been good this year but he has looked a bit shaky in his most recent starts, even giving up 4 runs in his previous start. He also faced the Brewers in their previous series against them where he pitched a great game going 7 innings deep in their home ballpark but I think this game is going to be different for him here. Corbin Burnes (1-2, 1.77 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has looked great all year. He has been their best starter in the rotation this year and hasn't given up more than 2 runs in a game this year except for 1, his 1st start of the year. I think he is going to pitch great again in this game since he has been great all year and I don't see the Brewers losing this game or the series in their own ballpark here. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Brewers. | |||||||
05-16-22 | Mariners v. Blue Jays -149 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Seattle Mariners on Monday. The Blue Jays have lost 4 series in a row now and haven't looked great in their games lately but I think they are going to break out of their funk here and win this game to get back on track after what was a pretty good start to the year. The Mariners have a losing record at the moment, they just won their most recent series against the Mets but that was their 1st series win after losing 5 series in a row. They haven't looked great in their games lately either and I think they are just what the Blue Jays need to break out of their funk and get a series win at home here. Chris Flexen (1-5, 4.24 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has been terrible this year with a decision in all 6 of the games he has started in and only grabbing 1 win out of those. He has given up 5+ hits in 5/6 starts this year and he's not striking out a lot of batters either. He has consistently given up runs in every start this year and just gave up 6 runs in his most recent start. He has been letting a lot of batters get on base against him this year and I think the Blue Jays will make him pay for that here in their ballpark. I think he is going to pitch another bad game for the Mariners here and will spark the Blue Jays offense which has already been picking up a bit lately. Yusei Kikuchi (1-1, 4.15 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he hasn't had a great start to the year either but he didn't give up more than 2 runs in his previous 2 starts and he looked a lot better in those games. I think he is going to continue to get better with each start and I expect him to pitch another good game here. I think this is a good spot for the Blue Jays to bust out of their funk and get a win here. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Blue Jays. | |||||||
05-14-22 | Brewers -120 v. Marlins | Top | 3-9 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Brewers have looked good in their games lately and they have been going on big runs, piling up the wins. They just lost their most recent series to the Reds but the Reds have been losing so many games that it was only a matter of time until they got hot, and the Brewers didn't even look bad in that series either since they still put up 5+ runs in all of those games. They just won their most recent game in a more tame 2-1 win over the Marlins but I think they can repeat that here with another great pitching performance and I expect their bats to wake up again since they have been hot lately. The Marlins have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they have been piling up a lot of losses lately. Trevor Rogers (1-4, 5.00 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and the team hasn't really had much success with him starting this year. He had a good start in his previous game where he didn't give up any runs but he also gave up 5 runs in his start before that previous start and he has had a few of those bad starts this year already. Eric Lauer (3-0, 1.82 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has looked great in his starts this year, being 1 of the best starting pitchers in the Brewers rotation for them this year. He has made 5 starts this year and only gave up 3 runs in his 1st start of the year, with every other start seeing him give up no more than 1 run. I expect him to shut down the Marlins here with a great pitching performance and I think the Brewers' bats will take care of the rest for them. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Brewers. | |||||||
05-13-22 | Giants -115 v. Cardinals | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. The Giants have won 5 games in a row now and just swept the Rockies in their most recent series. Their other 2 wins on this run before that series against the Rockies were both wins against the Cardinals after splitting a 4 game series with them. The Giants have looked a lot better on offense during this time with 4/5 of their previous 5 games having them put up 7+ runs themselves in the game. Their pitching has also been great, only giving up 3 runs total in their previous 2 games. The Cardinals have looked terrible lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they just lost their most recent series to the Baltimore Orioles of all teams. They put up 10 runs in 1 of those games and struggled to score in the other 2 games. I think this is going to be another game that the Giants beat the Cardinals in since the Giants have been getting really hot while the Cardinals have been cooling off a lot lately. Logan Webb (4-1, 3.82 ERA) is up for the Giants here and the last team he faced was the Cardinals last week, being awarded with the win in that game and I think he is going to pitch an even better game here. Jordan Hicks (1-2, 3.78 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he hasn't been terrible this year but his team hasn't had a lot of success with him starting in their games either. He hasn't pitched deep into many games either and the Cardinals bullpen really hasn't been great lately either. I think this is a game that the Giants are going to win with great pitching and by scoring a ton of runs on the Cardinals here who have been in a slump lately. I think that slump continues here as the Giants keep getting hot in their games lately. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Giants. | |||||||
05-12-22 | Phillies v. Dodgers -135 | 9-7 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. The Dodgers just lost their most recent series to the Pirates, losing 2/3 of those games and that is a very embarrassing loss for a team like the Dodgers. I think they are going to be upset over that loss and the last time they lost to the Pirates like that they ended up beating them 11-1 in the next game. I think they are going to be looking to take their anger out on the Phillies and they should have a much better chance of winning with their starter here. Tyler Anderson (3-0, 2.78 ERA) has been having a great start to the year and he hasn't been credited with a loss yet. He has been pitching great with a few starts and a few relief appearances this year but he hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any of the games he has pitched in. I think he is going to have another great outing here and the Phillies haven't really been the team they were supposed to be this year either. The Phillies just won 2/3 games against the Mariners but they had a terrible series with the Mets before that, even blowing a 7-1 lead in the 9th inning with their terrible bullpen blowing that game. Zack Wheeler (1-3, 4.10 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and his team hasn't really had much success this year with him starting. He has pitched a lot better in his 2 most recent starts, giving up no runs in either of those games but he also didn't face any really strong lineups in those games either. He has already had a few bad performances this year in his 1st 3 starts and I think he is going to have another bad start here against this strong Dodgers lineup. I expect the Dodgers to bounce back here, I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. | |||||||
05-11-22 | Mets -172 v. Nationals | 3-8 | Loss | -172 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets. I like the New York Mets to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The Mets have won 2 games in a row now but they have been rolling all year and are 1 of the teams with the most wins in the league at the moment. They just won their previous series over the Phillies with some crazy endings to those games and they won the 1st game of this series too, again with a late comeback in that game where they erased a 2-0 deficit. The Mets have shown time and time again this year that there is no deficit they can't overcome in a game but it's not just their batters that are performing great, their pitching staff has also been having a great year. The Nationals are on the opposite end of the division at the moment in last place with the reverse record of the Mets and I think the Mets are only going to grow their lead in the division with this game. The Nationals have lost 2 games in a row now but they only have the 1 win in their previous 7 games and I think they will just extend their losing skid here. Aaron Sanchez (1-2, 8.56 ERA) is up for the Nats in this game and he has only pitched in 3 games this year but he has been terrible in all of them. He has given up 3+ runs in every start and just gave up 7 runs in his most recent game. He hasn't gone very deep in games either since he has only made it 5 full innings 1 time and I think this is going to be another game where he gets beat up on early. Tylor Megill (4-1, 2.43 ERA) is up for the Mets here and the Mets have had a lot of success with him pitching in their games. He has given up more than 2 runs in 4/6 of his starts and I think he is going to continue to pitch well here. I expect the Mets to get an early jump on Sanchez here with the way he's been pitching this year and I think this will be a game where the Mets put up a lot of runs. I like the Mets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Mets. | |||||||
05-08-22 | Marlins v. Padres -145 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Miami Marlins on sunday. The Padres have looked really good in their games lately and they even took the 1st 2 games of this series with the Marlins but lost their most recent game. It was a really bad loss too, losing 8-0 but I think they are going to bounce back here. The Marlins have looked terrible lately and that was their 1st win in 7 games since they were on a 6 game losing skid before yesterday's game. The Padres didn't score at all in that game either which makes me think they will play harder today and try to get that win to bounce back after a terrible performance. The Padres have been playing really well lately to the point where they have moved up to 2nd place in the division and are starting to close in on the Dodgers with the same number of wins but more losses still since they've played more games. Joe Musgrove (4-0, 1.97 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has looked great all year, clearly leading this starting rotation with his great pitching this year. He hasn't pitched in a game this year yet where he gave up 3+ earned runs and I think he is going to continue pitching well in this game, keeping the Marlins off the board for a while. Trevor Rogers (1-4, 6.14 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has been having a terrible year already with an ERA over 6 through 5 starts and he has even been credited with 4 losses already too. He just gave up 5 runs in his previous start to the D-Backs and the Padres have a much stronger lineup than the D-Backs. I think the Padres are going to jump out in this game early and I think Musgrove will make it too hard for the Marlins to mount a comeback. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Padres. | |||||||
05-07-22 | Cardinals v. Giants -136 | 7-13 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The Giants have lost 2 games in a row to the cardinals now and they have lost 5 games in a row in general. They haven't scored more than 2 runs in 4 games in a row now and their offense has been very weak during that time but they are still playing a home game here and I think it is time for them to bounce back here since they do have a really good team still with good pitching too. The Cardinals have been on a role lately with 4 wins in a row now but I think the pitching matchup here is more favorable for the Giants. Logan Webb (3-1, 3.26 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has pitched well in his starts this year. He has given up 3 runs in all of his previous 3 starts but he has also been lasting long into games and I think he is going to give them a great outing against the Cardinals here. Steven Matz (3-1, 4.56 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he hasn't had a great start to the year with a few starts where he gave up 4+ runs. He hasn't even faced the strongest lineups either but he did get rocked against the good lineups he faced this year. I think the Giants are going to be a bit desperate for a win here and I expect them to get the job done in their own ballpark here. I like the Giants to break out of their funk and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Giants. | |||||||
05-06-22 | Marlins v. Padres -123 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Friday. The Padres have looked good in their games lately, winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games and they just took the 1st game of this series over the Marlins 2-1. That was a really low scoring game considering how much both teams have been scoring lately but I think the Padres can hold the Marlins off here again. Yu Darvish (2-1, 4.44 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has looked good in a majority of his starts this year, with only 1 really bad game so far. He has been a lot better lately though with his most recent start being the only 1 in his previous 3 where he gave up more than 1 run. I think he is going to continue to pitch well here and he should get a lot of run support from his team since they have been hitting the ball well and bringing in a lot of runs lately. Sandy Alcantara (2-1, 2.90 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has looked great all year but he finally had his worst start of the year in his most recent game where he gave up 5 runs and I think his armor is starting to show some cracks now. I think he is going to get rocked again here with the padres playing so well lately and I can see the Padres winning 2 in a row over the Marlins here. The Marlins haven't looked great in their games lately, getting swept by the D-Backs in their previous series and the D-Backs are not a very good team. I think the Padres are going to put the Marlins away here, I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Padres. | |||||||
05-05-22 | Angels -118 v. Red Sox | 8-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. The Angels ended a short losing skid of 2 games yesterday when they beat the Red Sox and that game was really close but in the end, the Red Sox blew up the game with their bullpen. The Red Sox had a 4-3 lead going into the 9th inning and came out tied 4-4. Once the game got to the 10th inning though, the Angels broke it open with 6 runs and put the Red Sox in a position where they basically couldn't win the game after that. The Red haven't looked good this year and they have been losing a lot of their games lately. They keep putting together losing skids while the Angels have been really hot to start the year. Shohei Ohtani (2-2, 4.19 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he is their ace pitcher. He had 1 bad start of his 4 this year but his 2 most recent starts he looked great in and I think he is going to pitch a great game here against the Red Sox who cannot break out of their early season funk. I think Ohtani is going to last at least 6 innings in this game and I don't think he will give up more than 2 runs either. The Angels have been hitting the ball well lately and I expect them to bring in some run support for Ohtani in this game. Rich Hill ( 0-1, 3.71 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked great in their games this year. He hasn't lasted very long in his starts either and I think he will get into trouble here with this lineup and be pulled early anyway. I think there is going too much stress on the bullpen for the Red Sox here and I'm expecting another big game from the Angels. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Angels. | |||||||
05-04-22 | Rays -121 v. A's | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. The Rays have looked a lot better in their games lately winning 2 in a row now and both of those wins were against the Athletics here in this series. The Rays have been getting hot with their bats again, putting up 16 runs in their 2 games against the A's and I think they are going to continue bringing in the runs in this game. They are going for the series sweep here and I think they are going to get it since they have looked a lot better. The A's have also looked terrible in their games lately getting swept by Cleveland in their previous series and and losing 5 games in a row now. The Rays also lost 3/4 games to the A's in their 2nd series of the year and I think they are trying to get their revenge here with the series sweep. Corey Kluber (1-1, 3.05 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has been pretty good in all of his starts this year. He only had 1 bad start this year where he gave up 11 hits and 4 runs but still went 5 innings in that game and he bounced back nicely in his most recent start, pitching his longest game of the year as he made it through 6 complete innings and only gave up 1 hit and 1 run against a Twins team that has been hot lately. I think he is going to go out there and pitch another great game against the A's here and he has a bit of advantage over them since he wasn't 1 of the starters that faced them earlier this year in that 1st series against them. Frankie Montas (2-2, 4.25 ERA) is up for the A's and he has had a few good starts this year but he has started to look shaky out there and his most recent start wasn't very good with him giving up 5 runs in that game. I think the Rays are going to shut down the A's with Kluber pitching and I expect their bats to stay hot here. I like the Rays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Rays. | |||||||
05-03-22 | Giants v. Dodgers -130 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. The Dodgers have looked a lot better in their games lately. They had gone on a bit of a losing skid when they lost their series to the Diamondbacks and even dropped a game to the Tigers on their home field but I think their day off on Monday was what they needed to reset themselves and I expect a great effort from them in this game. They have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games now and the Giants are 1 of their biggest rival teams due to their location and the fact that they are in the same division. The Dodgers still remember how they lost the division to the Giants last year and I think they aren't going to let that happen again this year. I expect them to win this game and the Giants haven't really looked great lately either. The Giants have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games, splitting a series with Oakland and losing a series to the Nats. Their pitching hasn't been great in those games and they have been let down by both their starting rotation and their bullpen in those games. The Dodgers have a strong lineup and I think they will rack up the runs on the Giants here. Julio Urias (1-1, 2.50 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has looked great in his starts this year. He had a really good year last season and is off to a great start this year with his worst start on the year coming in his 1st game. I think he is rounding into ace form and I expect him to pitch a really good game here. Carlos Rodon (3-0, 1.17 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has had a really good start this year but he hasn't faced the strongest lineups in his starts and I think it is only a matter of time until he gets rocked in 1 of these games. I think this is going to be that game and I expect the Dodgers to beat up on him here. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Dodgers. | |||||||
05-02-22 | Twins -140 v. Orioles | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Twins have looked great in their games lately winning 2 in a row and they have won 9/10 of their previous 10 games. They have been hot lately and their offense looked great since they have been scoring a ton of runs in their games too. They just scored 18 runs in their 2 most recent games and they only gave up 4 runs total between the 2 games. Not only have they been hitting the ball really well, but their pitching has been great and I think they can continue on their run here against the Orioles who are supposed to be 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. The Orioles haven't been terrible lately and they even won their series over the Red Sox on the weekend but I think they have been overachieving and I expect them to start regressing back to the mean in their games. Chris Paddack (0-2, 3.68 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he hasn't been terrible to start the year, giving up no more than 3 runs in any of his 3 starts and he has been improving in each start too, giving up less and less runs in each of his starts. I think he is going to pitch another good game here and I expect the Orioles to have trouble getting hits on him. Tyler Wells (0-2, 5.54 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. He has given up 2+ runs in 3/4 of his starts this year and he has only made it past the 5th inning in 1 game this year. I think he's not going to last long in this game with how well the Twins have been hitting the ball lately. I like the Twins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Twins. | |||||||

The Blue Jays have looked great in their games lately but they have already dropped the 1st game of this series to Houston. They lost the game 11-7 in what was an all around terrible performance from the pitching staffs of both teams. That game turned into whoever could drown the other out in runs but I think the pitching will be a lot better for the Blue Jays here and I expect them to bounce back with a win. The Astros haven't looked great lately and they haven't really won a series in a while either. They barely squeaked by in 2 games against the Rangers, taking 2/4 in that series and then they lost 3 series in a row before that series against Texas. Luis Garcia (1-0, 4.60 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he hasn't pitched that well in his 2 most recent starts. He gave up 5 runs in 6 innings in the last game he started and that was a game against the Blue Jays that they won 8-7 but that was the only game of the series they took and he had to get bailed out by their offense. I think he is going to pitch another bad game against the Blue Jays here but I think they get the win this time by keeping their lead with good pitching on their side today. Jose Berrios (1-0, 4.91 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he didn't look great at the beginning of the year but he has been getting better with each start and I think he is going to have a great game here as he is starting to find his way. I think this is a great game for the Blue Jays to bounce back in. I like the Blue jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. | |||||||
04-30-22 | Diamondbacks v. Cardinals -145 | 2-0 | Loss | -145 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. The Cardinals have looked better in their games lately winning 2 in a row but that run was ended last night when they lost to the D-Backs 6-2. The D-Backs are not a good team and I expect the Cardinals to bounce back in this game and win this series, especially with it being played on their home field. Miles Mikolas (1-0, 1.21 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked great in all of his starts this year. Of his 4 starts, there was only 1 game where he gave up 2+ runs and it was his 1st start of the year, also the only game he didn't go at least 5 innings in. I think he is going to pitch another great game here since he has been hot and I expect the offense to bring in some runs too and give him lots of run support. Merill Kelly (1-1, 1.69 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he has also looked great in all his starts this year but he just had his worst start of the year where he gave up 3 runs. I think he is going to give up some runs in this game too and if this ends up turning into a pitching duel between him and Mikolas, I think Mikolas has the advantage and the Cardinals also have the better bullpen to lean on. I don't think the Cardinals are going to drop another game on their home field to the D-Backs again in this series. I like the Cardinals to bounce back and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Cardinals. | |||||||
04-27-22 | Marlins -138 v. Nationals | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins. I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The Marlins already took the 1st game of this series and they have won 3 games in a row, extending back to their series against the Braves over the weekend. I think the Marlins can take the 2nd game of this series too since they have been getting hot lately and the nationals haven't looked good to start the year. The Nats have been terrible lately, losing 6 games in a row and they haven't won a series in 3 in a row now either. They have lost to some bad teams too, including a 4 game series with the Pirates that they lost 3-1, a 3 game series with the Diamondbacks, and they lost a series to the Giants who are really good unlike the other 2 teams mentioned before but they got swept in all 3 games of that series. It doesn't help either that the Nats have Erick Fedde (1-1, 6.75 ERA) starting in this game and he had a terrible start in his last outing, giving up 7 runs in just 3 innings. He hasn't looked good in any of his starts since he hasn't had a start through 3 games where he didn't give up 2+ runs in the game. The Marlins have some good hitters on their team and I think Fedde is lining up for another bad outing in this game with his struggles to start the year already. Pablo Lopez (2-0, 0.52 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has looked great in all of his starts this year. The teams has won all 3 games he started in with him getting credit for 2 of those, and he has played in at least 5 innings in every game, only giving up 1 total run in his 3 starts. I think the Nats aren't going to be able to get the hits and bring in runs on him in this game. I like the Marlins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Marlins. | |||||||
04-25-22 | Guardians v. Angels -110 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday. The Angels were on a bit of a roll with their offense lately before hitting their most recent series with the Orioles. They lost 2/3 of those games against the Orioles but they ended the series with a 7-6 win over them on Sunday and I think they can carry that momentum over into this game on Monday. The Guardians just got swept by the Yankees all 3 games and their most recent game was a 10-2 loss on Sunday where their pitching was terrible and their offense made no appearance either. The Angels did lose 2/3 games to the Orioles but the games were still close and the Angels were putting up runs in those games, unlike the Guardians who only scored 3+ runs in 1 of those games against the Yankees. Michael Lorenzen (1-1, 4.82 ERA) is up for the Angels in this game and he didn't have a great outing in his most recent start but he pitched a good outing in his 1st start of the year and I think he can bounce back in this game. The Guardians haven't been hitting the ball great lately and I think Lorenzen will do enough to keep the Guardians from bringing in any runs. Shane Bieber (1-0, 2.25 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has had 3 great starts this year but all 3 were also against teams that don't have great offenses and I think he is going to get beat up on by the Angels here who have been hitting the ball really well and bringing in lots of runs in their games lately. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Angels. | |||||||
04-24-22 | Marlins v. Braves -122 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -122 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The Braves haven't looked great in their games lately but they have still been winning games and they have been getting a lot of hits in the games they lose too. They just lost their most recent game to the Marlins and there was a few lead changes in that game but in the end, the Braves blew their lead and lost that game. I think the Braves have been starting to look a lot better compared to how they were at the beginning of the year and I think they are going to get hot soon once they get into their groove again. The Marlins haven't been great lately either and they have been getting a lot of their wins in home games this year. I think the Braves are going to bounce back in this home game and I expect them to take the series with a win here. Bryce Elder (1-1, 4.50 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has had 2 decent starts where he wasn't great but he wasn't bad either and I think he will do enough here to keep the marlins from bringing in the runs. The Marlins have Jesus Luzardo (0-1, 4.82 ERA) going in this game and he has had a rough start to his year. He looked alright in his 1st start but he was really bad in his previous outing, giving up 5 runs and 7 hits in just a bit over 4 innings in that game. The Braves have been hitting the ball well lately and even though they lost to the Marlins yesterday, they still scored 7 runs in that game. I think the Braves will be able to put up the runs on Luzardo here and I'm expecting a bounce back win from them here. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Braves. | |||||||
04-19-22 | Blue Jays +125 v. Red Sox | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The Blue Jays have looked really good in their games lately and they are off to a really good start this year, not losing a single series of their 1st 3 yet. The Blue Jays have been racking up a lot of hits in every game they play and they have been a really difficult team to stop so far. I think the Red Sox won't be able to score enough runs here to beat the Jays. The Red Sox didn't look great in their last outing and although they racked up a lot of hits in that game, they have had nothing to show for it as they had another game where they only converted 3 runs and the scoring has been a big issue for them so far. They haven't been putting up a lot of runs this year and I think the Jays are going to have no issues bringing runs in here with how good they have looked in their games, putting up a ton of runs in their games. Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 4.50 ERA) didn't have the best starts for the Red Sox already, he has already had 2 starts and has given up runs in both games which led to high scoring affairs on both occasions. I think the Jays are going to be able to get hits on him here and I see them putting up a ton of runs on him in this game. The Red Sox haven't looked great with their bullpen either and there has been a few games already where their starter put them in a great chance to win and their bullpen blew the game. The Blue Jays have a much better bullpen than the Red Sox do and I expect Yusei Kikuchi (0-1, 5.40 ERA) to have a better start here after his 1st outing last week. He gave up 2 runs in 3 innings to the Yankees and was credited with the loss there but his team also fell flat in that game and didn't score a single run. The bats are hot for the Jays now and I'm expecting a better start from Kikuchi. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. | |||||||
04-18-22 | Phillies -158 v. Rockies | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -158 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies. I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. The Phillies just had a bad series where they dropped 2 games in Miami to the Marlins and they lost their most recent game 11-3 but I think they can bounce back in this game. Aaron Nola (1-1, 6.75 ERA) is up for the Phillies in this game and he has struggled in his 1st 2 starts but I think he is going to get better and I like him to bounce back with a much better start in this game. Nola has been giving up runs in his 2 starts but this is a big ballpark in Colorado and there are going to be runs here regardless. Despite the runs he's been giving up, he has also been getting strikeouts in his starts and I think that is going to be key for him here. The Phillies also have a good lineup that can hit the ball and I think playing in this ballpark will help spark their bats and get them hot. I see the Phillies putting up a ton of runs in this game and I don't think Chad Kuhl (0-0, 2.08 ERA) is going to have as good a start as he did in his 1st game. Kuhl only gave up 1 run in his 4 innings against Texas but that was also a road game for them and this will be his 1st start at Coors Field this year. Kuhl also came from the Pirates in the offseason so he hasn't pitched in this ballpark often and I don't think he is going to have a good game since he wasn't that great last year either. He pitched at Coors Field 1 time last year and gave up 3 runs in the 4 innings he played. I think the Phillies are going to score runs against him here and win this game. I like the Phillies here. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Phillies. | |||||||
04-16-22 | Angels -118 v. Rangers | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The Rangers haven't looked great this year already but the Angels are off to a much better start than they were last year. They expect to have a much better year with Mike Trout back in the lineup again and I think they can win this game over the Rangers after splitting the 1st 2 games already. The runs have not been an issue for them since they have scored 5+ runs in both games and they even put up 10 runs in their most recent game. Their pitching wasn't great in those games though nut I think they are going to have a much better game pitching with Noah Syndergaard (1-0, 0.00 ERA) starting for them here. Syndergaard made it through a bit over 5 innings in his 1st start, giving up no runs and only 2 hits while he and his team held off the Astros for a 2-0 win. The fact that they can win a low scoring game like that against the Astros with just their pitching says a lot about them and I think they can have another great game on the mound here. Taylor Hearn (0-0, 2.25 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he also looked good in his 1st start giving up just 1 run, but he also played in less innings than Syndergaard did and Hearn also gave up 8 hits which he managed to pitch his way out of but that could have been a lot worse putting those players into scoring position like that. I think if that happens again in this game the lineup for the Angels will make sure that he pays and i expect him to give up more runs in this start. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Angels. | |||||||
04-15-22 | Giants v. Guardians +142 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Friday. The Guardians just had Thursday off and I expect them to come out on Friday with some big hits since their bats have been really hot lately. The Guardians have won 4 games in a row now, sweeping the Reds in their last series, and they have been putting up a ton of runs in the process too. Their pitching has slipped up in some spots but they've also had really good pitching in some of their games too and their bats have put up 7+ runs in 4 games in a row now. I think having Thursday off will help them recharge for this game and I like the pitching matchup with them going against Rodon here. Rodon had a good 1st start this year but he was just acquired this offseason from the White Sox and these batters on the Guardians have had plenty of experience going against him. I think he is going to get rocked in this game and I expect Plesac to keep the Giants from bringing in any runs in this game. Plesac had a great 1st start this year, giving up no runs and only 3 hits, almost making it to the 7th inning in his start. I think the Giants will struggle to get hits on him here since they haven't been scoring a lot of runs this year anyway. They have won 4/6 of their games so far and they had 1 game where they put up 13 runs in but other than that 1 game, they have only put up more than 3 runs on 1 other occasion. I think the Guardians have the better pitching matchup here and I like the rhythm their batters have been in, I expect them to stay hot here. I like the Guardians to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Guardians. | |||||||
04-14-22 | Cardinals +130 v. Brewers | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. The Cardinals have looked good this year already with a 3-1 start and I expect them to be well rested for this game since they have had 3 days off already since the start of the season. The Brewers haven't looked good in their start with just an even 3-3 record but they have lost some questionable games already, including 1 to the Orioles, and their hitting hasn't been great so far, failing to show up on a few occasions this year already. Adam Wainwright (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Cardinals and he looked really good in his 1st start earlier this year. He gave up 5 hits but no runs in the 6 innings he played in and his team really backed him up with run support too, winning that game 9-0. I think he is the best starter on their staff and he always gives his team a chance to win like the seasoned vet that he is. His team also always has confidence with him on the mound and they tend to hit better in those games too. The Brewers have Brandon Woodruff (0-1, 17.18 ERA) going in this game and he already had a terrible 1st start this year. Woodruff only played a little under 4 innings in that game but he gave up 7 runs on 6 hits, also walking 3 batters in that game too. He also hit 2 batters and his team offered him no run support in that game, going on to lose 9-0. I don't think the Brewers have been that great this year and until they start to hit the ball better, I can't be backing this team here against Wainwright. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Cardinals. | |||||||
04-12-22 | Mets v. Phillies -145 | 2-0 | Loss | -145 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies. I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the New York Mets in this game on Tuesday. The Phillies are off to a hot start this year with only 1 loss in their 1st 4 games. They won their 1st series over the A's and they were on their way to a 4-0 loss yesterday but made a big comeback, putting up 5 runs in the 8th inning to win that 1st game over the Mets. I think the Phillies can do the same here and I think they have the better pitching matchup in this game to do it. Tylor Megill (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Mets here and he had a great 1st outing last week but I don't think he is going to do it again here and the bullpen already blew the most recent game for the Mets so even if he pitches really well he won't play the full game since he was pulled in the 5th inning with no hits in his 1st start. I think the Mets bullpen will blow the game again once he comes out like they have in their 2 most recent games. Zack Wheeler (0-0, 0.00 ERA) hasn't played a game this year but he had a good season last year and I think he is going to be fired up to play against his former team. I expect him to pitch a great game with that extra juice and I think the bullpen will hold it together since the Mets have had a lot of opportunities to score lately but haven't been driving in as many runs as they should be with their scoring chances lately. I think the Phillies are going to stay hot here and win this game over the Mets. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Phillies. | |||||||
04-11-22 | Brewers -145 v. Orioles | 0-2 | Loss | -145 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Brewers opened their year with 2 losses in a row and they were even down 3-0 in the 1st inning on Sunday, on their way to being swept by the Cubs in their opening series they made a come back and managed to get the win by 1 run. I think that win gave them a bit of momentum moving forward and I expect them to play a lot better in their next series here. The pitching has been terrible for the Brewers so far but I think they will start to turn things around here after a shaky start. They still put up quite a few runs in that series and the Orioles really haven't done much in their 1st series. The Orioles got swept by the Rays in their opening series and they only put up 4 runs total in those 3 games while giving up almost 20 runs themselves. I think there is going to plenty of opportunities for the Brewers to get some hits here and put up runs on the Orioles and I think they will blow past them getting back in their groove from last year. Bruce Zimmermann (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Orioles and he didn't have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 4-5 with a 5.04 ERA and he already looked terrible in Spring training too. He only played in 8 innings in Spring training this year but he gave up 8 runs in those 8 innings and I think the Brewers will be able to put up a ton on him in this game. Adrian Houser (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is in for the Brewers and he is coming off a really good year. He finished the 2021 season 10-6 with a 3.22 ERA and he was 1 of the better pitchers on their staff last year. I think he is going to come out and pitch a gem in his 1st start this year and I expect the Orioles to struggle putting up runs on him like they did in their whole series against the Rays. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Brewers. | |||||||
04-10-22 | Marlins v. Giants -115 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The Giants have already split their 1st 2 games of the year with the Marlins, winning their home opener but losing in their most recent game. They only lost to the Marlins 2-1 in a close game that was dominated by pitching by the hits were still even at 5 a piece. I think the bats for the Giants are going to have a better day here though. Trevor Rogers (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is the starting pitcher for the Marlins here and he had a great season last year, finishing the 2021 season 7-8 with a 2.64 ERA. He did pitch really well in a lot of his games last year but his team didn't really benefit from it a majority of the time since he still finished 7-8 and his team was 11-14 in the games he started in. He has also pitched a few innings in Spring training this year and he looked terrible giving up 5 runs and 10 hits in the 11 innings he pitched in. I think the Giants are going to get some hits on him here and put themselves into scoring positions early in this game. The Giants have Anthony DeSclafani (0-0, 0.00 ERA) pitching for them in this game and he looked really good for them last year. He finished the 2021 season 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA and not only did he pitch really well and not give up a lot of runs all year, but his team did benefit from his performances as he had a winning record himself but the team was also 21-10 in the games he started. I think the Giants have the advantage here with their starter and their bullpen. I also think they are going to get some hits in this game and put up the runs on the Marlins here. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Giants. | |||||||
04-10-22 | Mets v. Nationals +127 | 2-4 | Win | 127 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Nationals. I like the Washington Nationals to win this game against the New York Mets on Sunday. The Nationals have already lost 3 games in a row to the Mets to start their year off and all 3 losses were at home too. This is the final home game of their opening series with the Mets before they go on a road trip for the next 2 series' and I think the Nats are going to prevent getting swept here. I expect their pride to come out in this game since the Mets have been terrible over the past few years and to lose that much to a division rival and on their home field too has to be leaving a bad taste in their mouths. The Mets have gotten a lot better in the offseason but I think the Nats have the more favorable pitching matchup here and I expect them to take advantage of it to get their 1st win of the year here. Carlos Carrasco (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is getting his 1st start of the year for the Mets here and he isn't really coming off a great year. He finished the 2021 season 1-5 with a 6.04 ERA and he was consistently bad throughout the year. He even pitched in 8 innings in Spring training this year and he still looked bad giving up 5 runs in those 8 innings with 10 hits too. I think the Nats will get hits and put up runs on him in this game and I expect them to try even harder here after a game where they put up nothing. Erick Fedde (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Nats here and he didn't have a great season last year but he looked a lot better in Spring training this year and I think he can come out and make improvements here on his season from last year. He pitched in a little over 9 innings in Spring training this year and didn't give up any runs. I think he is going to have a good game here and I see the Mets struggling to put up runs on him here. I don't think the Nationals are going to get swept by the Mets in their opening series here. I like the Nationals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Nationals. | |||||||
04-09-22 | Astros v. Angels +112 | 0-2 | Win | 112 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Houston Astros on Saturday. The Angels have already had a terrible start to their year losing 2 games in a row including their home opener. They lost a close 3-1 game in their home opener but was Friday was less forgiving for them since they lost 13-6. I think they are going to bounce back and get their 1st win of the year here. They were still able to put up 6 runs yesterday despite the demotivating deficit they were in and I think they can replicate that in this game. Justin Verlander (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is making his 1st start of the season but he missed the entire 2021 season with an injury and he will be making his 1st start here since July of 2020 and he only pitched in 1 game that season so really, he is making his 2nd start in over 2 years. I think he is going to get rocked on the mound in his 1st game back here and I expect the Angels to put up a ton of runs on him early. Verlander is an older player and with all of the injuries he has sustained over the past 2 years, I think he is going to need some time to ramp up so I don't like him in his 1st start here. The Angels have Noah Syndergaard (0-0, 0.00 ERA) making his debut here and I expect a great performance from him with his new team here. He has also missed a lot of time over the last 2 seasons due to injury but I think a lot of that had to do with him not wanting to be on the Mets anymore last year and I think he will be coming out with a chip on his shoulder here, trying to prove something to his old team. I like the Angels to bounce back in this game and get their 1st win of the year. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Angels. | |||||||
04-09-22 | Indians v. Royals -115 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals. I like the Kansas City Royals to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. These 2 have only played the 1 game this year and the Royals took their home opener 3-1 over the Guardians on Thursday. I think they can repeat that game and get another win here in their 2nd game of the season. The Guardians have Zach Plesac (0-0, 0.00 ERA) starting today and he didn't have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 10-6 with a 4.67 ERA and he was giving up a lot of runs in his final few games last year. I think he is going to have a bad day pitching here and it should be enough for the Royals to capitalize early. Their bullpen kept them in that game on Thursday, holding down the Guardians to just 1 run and I think the Royals can do it again in this game. The Guardians have a significantly weaker batting lineup compared to last year and I think the Royals are going to get a lot more hits than the Guardians like they did in the 1st game. Brad Keller (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Royals and he wasn't great last year but I expect him to have a better start here. I think the Guardians are still going to struggle to get hits in this game and I like the Royals to repeat what they did to them on Thursday. I like the Royals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Royals. |
