The Tigers are 43-52 this season but to be honest that is better than most Tiger fans expected. The Tigers will hand the ball to Reese Olson. He is 1-3 with a 3.96 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. Over his last five, he is 1-1 with a 2.33 ERA. The Padres have been one of the best rosters in the MLB but also one of the most disappointing. Lugo has been very good this year while Olson has been inconsistent. Detroit is a woeful 14-21 as a home underdog. Lugo has allowed three or fewer runs in ten starts and is facing a Tiger team that averages a tad under 4 runs a game. The Padre bats are starting to come alive and if they are going to make a second-half run, these are the games they need to win. Play on San Diego | |||||||

Cleveland and Pittsburgh both struggle at the plate. Cleveland is 27th in runs scored and Pittsburgh is 26th. The total has gone under in five of Cleveland's last seven games and in four of Pittsburgh's last six games. Neither team has much power so easy runs are hard to come by. Cleveland has one of the best if not the best bullpen in baseball, which will make it even more difficult for the Pirates to score runs. I think this number is a little high and will be on the under in this one. Play on the UNDER | |||||||

Cristian Javier will make the start for Houston. He is 7-1 this season with a 4.34 ERA and has not lost on the road in nine starts going 3-0. He faced the Angels four times last season, posting a 2.25 ERA in 16 innings. Tyler Anderson gets the nod for LA. He is 4-2 this season with a 5.25 ERA. Anderson has been good lately, but Houston has feasted on left-handed hitting this season. Javier has pitched really well against the Angels and will do the same here.

The Chicago White Sox need to get off to a hot start if they want to have their season but facing the Atlanta Braves is a daunting task. Chicago is 38-54 and 17-29 on the road. Michael Kopech will get the start for the Sox. He is 3-7 this season with a 4.08 ERA. He has pitched well over his last five starts with nothing to show for it. He has posted a 2.06 ERA over his last 5 but is 0-2. On the road this season, he is 2-3 with a 4.10 ERA. The Braves will look to improve on the best record in baseball by sending Charlie Morton to the mound. He is 9-6 with a 3.43 ERA this season. He has been outstanding over his last five, going 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA. He is 4-3 with a 4.12 ERA at home. Not only are the Braves the best team in baseball, their offense is arguably the best in baseball also. Kopech said he was tired before the break so maybe the rest will sort out his command issues. Morton has been a solid pitcher but has pitched really well over his last five starts. I don't have a lot of faith in the Sox in the second half and look for the Braves to come away with an easy win here. Play on Atlanta minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

On the road, he is 2-2 with a 3.73 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP. Miami will counter with Eury Perez. He is 5-2 with a 2.47 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. At home, he is 3-0 with a 1.01 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP.

The Marlins have scored 30 runs in the first three games of this series. The Cardinals need to turn things around quickly and a win here would help but it is not going to happen today. Play on Miami. | |||||||

The Texas Rangers head to Boston to take on the Red Sox. This should be a good series as both teams have above-average lineups and solid pitching. The Rangers are 23-17 on the road this season but they are just 3-7 over their last 10 games overall. They will look to gain back momentum by sending Dane Dunning to the mound. He is 7-1 this season with a 2.69 ERA. He has given up 6 runs over his last three starts. Boston has been inconsistent all season but is coming off a sweep of Toronto. Boston is just 4-6 over their last 10 games. They are just 21-21 at home this season and have dropped 12 of their last 20 games at home. Boston has not named a starter and will probably go with an opener. Texas has been more consistent this season and I trust their offense more than the Red Sox offense. Neither team has been great over the last 10 games but Texas has the better pitcher and better offense. Boston has not been playing well at home and I am looking for big things from the Texas offense. Play on Texas. | |||||||

Williams is a rookie with two starts and will struggle against a potent Braves offense. Bryce Elder has a 1.43 ERA, 0.98 WHIP in six road starts. The Guardians are 1-6 in their last seven games against NL East opponents. The Braves have the advantage on the mound and at the plate. This should be another easy Braves victory.

The Rays will send Taj Bradley to the mound while the Mariners will turn to turn to Luis Castillo. Bradley is one of their top pitching prospects but has struggled recently. Luis Castillo has allowed 35 runs in 94.1 innings pitched. Taj Bradley is 2-2 with a 3.68 ERA and a .232 batting average in five road starts while Luis Castillo is 5-2 with a .181 opposing batting average and a 2.09 home ERA in 10 starts.

The Angels are 0-4 in their last four home games vs. a team with a winning record and 1-5 in their last six interleague games. As well as Detmers has pitched as of late I still like Gallen and the D'backs in this one. LA hasn't hit well at home and will struggle to find hits off Gallen, who has dominated Angels hitters.

The Cleveland Guardians will look to even their series with the Chicago Cubs. Cleveland lost the first game of the series 10-1. The Guardians will send Tanner Bibee to the mound while the Cubs will counter with Marcus Stroman. Tanner Bibee has posted a 4-2 record this season to go with a 3.79 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. The Cubs snapped a four-game losing streak with their win yesterday. Marcus Stroman has been great for the Cubs this season. He is 9-5 with a 2.47 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. He had a blister issue in his last outing which hampered him and he did not pitch well. I look for him to bounce back in this outing. The Cubs have a huge advantage on the mound as long as there are no issues with Stroman's blister. The Guardians are 1-4 in their past five meetings in Chicago. Bibee has given up 11 runs in his last three starts. He gave up 12 runs in his last three road starts. The Guardians have lost five of their last nine road games. Stroman has given up five runs in his previous five starts. He gave up four runs in his last three starts at Wrigley Field and two runs in his last two starts against the Guardians. Everything points to the Cubs and I will be making this my 5% INTERLEAGUE Game of the MONTH. Play on Chicago, | |||||||

The Seattle Mariners take on the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of a three-game set. The Mariners were pounded 15-4 last night by the Rays. The Rays will look to keep the momentum going by sending Tyler Glasnow to the mound. He is 2-1 in j. ust six starts this season with a 4.45 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. Seattle will look to turn things around by sending George Kirby to the mound. He is 6-7 in 15 starts this season with a 3.26 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. I circled this game as the Mariners' best chance to get a win over the Rays. Seattle has their second-best pitcher on the mound and even though Glasnow has been good this season he has made only six starts and his numbers are higher than his career numbers so far this season. As good as Tampa has been this season they are only 5 games over .500 on the road. The Rays are 1-5 in their last six Saturday games. Seattle's pen is better than the Rays and I taking Seattle to win one at home. Play on Seattle | |||||||

The Tampa Bay Rays take on the Seattle Mariners in Seattle. Tampa Bay welcomes back Shane McClanahan to the mound. He has been outstanding this season, posting an 11-1 record with a 2.23 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP in 16 starts. Seattle will send Bryce Miller to the mound. He is 5-3 this season with a 3.88 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP in ten starts. The Rays are putting up 5.52 runs per game and as a staff, they have posted a 3.62 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. McClanahan left his last start in the fourth inning because of back tightness. He has allowed two or fewer runs in 14 of his 16 starts. The M's have lost four of their last five overall. The Mariners put up 4.47 runs a game and as a staff, they have posted a 3.81 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Miller has been inconsistent this season. Unhittable in some starts but very hittable in others. The Rays are 5-1 in their last six meetings with the Mariners. The Mariners are 1-6 in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 7-21 in their last 28 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. What we get out of McClanahan will go a long way in determining whether we cash or not. Seattle has not been hitting this season, even at home. I like the Rays to come out on top in this one.

The Chicago White Sox kick off a three-game series with the Oakland Athletics. These are two underachieving teams, the A's by design and the Sox just because they are playing bad baseball. The A's will send Luis Medina to the mound. He is 1-7 this season with a 6.84 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. The White Sox will go with Tanner Banks. He is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. The Oakland Athletics have the worst record in baseball and were a victim of a perfect game two games ago. Medina is 0-3 with a 6.14 ERA of 6.14, and a 1.32 WHIP at home this season. I like the Sox in this one as I feel they have the better bullpen and their offense is more potent. The Athletics are last in baseball in runs per game this season, averaging under three and a half runs per game. Oakland is just 2-8 in its last ten games. Take the White Sox on this one.

In June, Berrios is 3-1 with a 3.03 ERA in five starts. Boston swept the first four games between the two in Boston but that was back in May and both teams are playing different ball at the moment. The Jays are 21-15 at home this season. Berrios is 4-1 with a 2.48 ERA in six starts at home this year. Berrios has been great in June and the Jays have the better pen. I have more faith in the Jays offense than I do in the Sox. Take Toronto at home. Play on Toronto | |||||||

Walker has allowed just eight earned runs in his last seven starts combined. He's allowed one or no runs in five of his last seven starts.

If it goes to the pens the Rays have an advantage as they are 14th in the majors with a 3.87 reliever ERA while the Diamondbacks are 19th in MLB with a 4.12 bullpen ERA.

Over his last five starts, he is 2-2 with a 3.94 ERA. For the Cubs, Smyly is 7-4 with a 3.38 ERA; over his last five starts, he is 2-3 with a 4.94 ERA. The Cubs just returned from the London series and looked sluggish last night. They have a horrendous schedule over the next month with only the All-Star break as their only time off. Smyly has struggled with walks this season and the Phillies are patient at the plate and they could see some additional baserunners. Nola has had success against the Cubs and with them still dealing with the Cubs dealing with the London travel, I like Nola in this spot. Play on Philadelphia | |||||||

The Jays are in a race in the AL East and can't afford to lose a series, especially to the A's. Medina has a 7.50 road ERA this season. Kikuchi pitches better at home by nearly half a run. The Blue Jays are the better team and will come away with an important home win. Play on Toronto | |||||||

The Chicago Cubs took the first game in London and will look for a mini-sweep over their Central Division rivals the St. Louis Cardinals. Chicago has won nine of their last 10 games and is a game away from being .500 in what has been an up-and-down season. The Cubs will have the ace on the mound when Marcus Stroman takes the field. He has won seven straight starts, allowing just seven earned runs in 48.2 innings. He has posted a 2.28 ERA this season. The Cardinals are struggling, going 1-5 in their past six games played against NL Central rivals and a 4-8 mark in their past 12. Jack Flaherty was expected to start but has been scratched and replaced by Matthew Liberatore. He is 1-2 this season with a 6.12 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP. These two teams have split their four games this season but the Cubs have taken the last two. Chicago has a huge advantage on the mound in this one. Marcus Stroman has a 1.40 ERA in his four starts in June. Matthew Liberatore has a 7.07 ERA in his three starts in June. I am looking for the Cubs' bats to pile up runs against Liberatore and even if they manage just a few, I don't see the Cards scoring enough off of Stroman. Play on Chicago. | |||||||

During the losing streak, the Pirates gave up at least five runs in nine of those games. The Marlins were on a 6-2 run before yesterday's loss. Miami’s pitching has a 4.06-team ERA. The Marlins have won five of the last seven between the two teams. The Marlins were 12-2 in their last 14 games versus a team with a winning record while the Pirates were 3-13 in their last 16 overall. I like the Marlins to take care of business and bounce back with a win. Play on Miami. | |||||||

The Cards will trot out Adam Wainwright to face Chicago. He is 3-1, with a 5.56 ERA. The Cubs have been RED-HOT going 10-2 over their last 12 games.

They are 4-7 over their last 11 games. They have a team ERA of 4.45 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. Wainwright has allowed at least three runs in his last five starts and in seven of his eight on the year. The Cubs have been playing much better baseball than the Cardinals as of late. Chicago is 6-0 in their last six against an N.L. Central opponent and 6-1 in their last seven against a right-handed starter. St. Louis is 1-5 in their last five against N.L. Central opponents. Play on Chicago. | |||||||

The Colorado Rockies are at home and will open a three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels. Both teams are coming off losses. The Angels lost two straight to the Dodgers by the exact score of 2-0. Patrick Sandoval will get the start for the Angels. He has posted a 3.79 ERA in his road starts this season. The Rockies were swept by the Reds and have now dropped eight straight. Kyle Freeland will go for the Rockies tonight. He has posted a home ERA of 3.19. Sandoval has pitched well on the road this season. Freeland has been great at home but the Rockies as a team have struggled at the plate. The Rockies could keep this one close but in the end, I like the Angels to come away with the win. Play on the LA Angels | |||||||

The Texas Rangers open a series in the Big Apple against the New York Yankees. Texas will go with Dane Dunning on the mound. He is 6-1 with a 2.78 ERA and is 2-1 with a 4.28 ERA over his last five starts. He's 2-1 with a 2.43 ERA on the road this season. Clarke Schmidt will get the call for the Yankees. He is 2-6 with a 4.65 ERA this season. At home, he is 1-5 with a 4.30 ERA. Clarke has not been good, while Dummomg has pitched well overall. Texas has one of the best, if not the best offense in baseball. Dunning has struggled a bit in his last couple of starts but the Yankees offense has been ineffective this month. The Rangers are 22-15 on the road this season and I like them to take Game 1 with Dunning on the mound. Play on Texas | |||||||

The Pirates will look to even their series with the Marlins after dropping game 1, 6-4. The Pirates have lost 10 in a row and have tumbled down the standings in the NL Central. The Marlins have won six of their last eight games. The Pirates were winning last night 4-1 going into the eighth inning before the Marlins made a comeback to get the win. They will look to right the ship with Luis Ortiz taking the mound. He is 1-3 overall this season with a 4.30 ERA. The Pirates are 2-6 when Oritz makes an appearance this year. The Marlins will send Jesus Luzardo to the mound. He is 6-5 this season with a 4.09 ERA. The Marlins are 9-5 this year when Luzardo pitches. Ortiz's ERA jumps to 5.50 during road games. The Marlins have played and should do well off of Ortiz as they have the eighth-best hitting percentage. The Pirates have to show me they can beat any team right now let alone a good one.

The Seattle Mariners take on the New York Yankees in the Big Apple. The Mariners Bryan Woo will face off against the Yankee's Domingo German. Bryan Woo has posted a 7.30 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP but is coming off a start in which he allowed 2 runs in 5.2 innings against the White Sox. Domingo German is coming off a terrible start his last time out. He allowed 7 runs in just two innings against Boston. On the season he has posted a 4.30 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP. The offense has been a disappointment to this point of the season for Seattle. New York has lost four of five. The Yankees have had their own problems on offense with the absence of Aaron Judge from the lineup. Despite being roughed up in his last outing, I feel the Yankees have a slight advantage on the mound. Play on the NY Yankees. | |||||||

Well, one thing is given, one of these two teams will snap a losing streak tonight. Pittsburgh has really been struggling losing nine in a row. The Marlins come into this game having lost two straight. The Pirates scored just three runs in a sweep to the Cubs, being shutout twice. Mich Keller has been a bright spot for the Pirates and will get the start in this one. He is 8-3 this season with a 1.14 WHIP. He struggled during June, posting a 5.19 ERA. Braxton Garrett will try and get the Marlins back on track. He is 3-2 this year with a 3.88 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. In his last start against the Nationals, he allowed one run in six innings. The Pirates have been hit by the injury bug which has played a part in their losing streak. The Pirates are 16-20 on the road While Miami is 22-15 at home. Keller has struggled in two of his last three starts and the Pirates' bullpen is unreliable at best. Miami is 6-0 in their last six vs a sub .500 opponent. When this game goes to the pens, which it eventually will, the Marlins have a big advantage. One team will snap their losing streak and that team is the Marlins. Play on Miami | |||||||

He has been perfect at home, posting a 5-0 record with a 1.64 ERA. The Kansas City Royals have struggled to score runs and will be hard-pressed to score many off McClanahan. Tampa Bay is 23-16 at home on the run line and is 22-16 as a home favorite. Kansas City is 15-20 on the run line as a road underdog. The Rays have a huge advantage on the mound and at the plate.

The Nationals will counter with Jake Irvin on the mound. He is 1-3, with a 5.25 ERA. Arizona is 4-5 over their last nine after coming away with a win yesterday over the Brewers. The DBacks are 5-1 in Henry’s last six starts. The Nationals snapped a five-game losing streak with a win yesterday. They have now won just 3 of their last 10. The Nats have lost the last six games Irvin has started. He hasn't helped his cause posting a 7.11 ERA in his last six starts. Arizona is 4-1 against the Nationals this season, with three wins coming by 2 runs or more. Arizona has won eight of its last nine games by two or more runs. This is not an ideal spot, coming in for one game, but the D'backs are playing good baseball at the moment and should be able to get to Irvin early. Take the marlins in this one.

The Texas Rangers take on the Chicago White Sox in what should be a great pitching matchup, at least on paper. Nathan Eovaldi goes for the Rangers against Dylan Cease for the Sox. Eovaldi is 9-3 this season with a 2.59 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. Texas ranks in the top five in most offensive categories. Dylan Cease has not been as dominant this season as he has over the last couple of years. He is 3-3 with a 4.31 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. Chicago's offense has been in the bottom half of most major categories. Cease has pitched better at home than on the road, but Eovaldi has pitched better on the road. Evoldi has posted a road ERA under two. The Rangers have the advantage in every facet of the game. The offense is vastly better, they have an edge in starting pitching and even though the Rangers pen has been inconsistent, the Sox pen has been decimated by injuries and has been terrible over the last week or two. texas should be able to outscore the Sox in this one and come away with a win.

The Reds are riding a nine-game winning streak while the Rockies have dropped six in a row. Colorado has averaged 3.2 runs over their last six games.

We have two teams heading in different directions when the Chicago Cubs take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs have been up and down this season but good for them they are in the NL Central. They are only 3.5 games out of first place despite being under .500. They have been on a nice run having won 6 of their last 7 games. The Cubs will look to keep the momentum going by sending Marcus Stroman to the mound. He has posted a 2.45 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. The Pirates have had hot and cold streaks this season. Right now, they are on a cold streak. They have lost 7 straight games and four of those have come against these Cubs. Johan Oviedo will get the start for the Pirates. Oviedo has posted a 4.40 ERA this season. There has been a huge difference in the offenses over the last week. The Cubs are putting up over 7 runs a game compared to Pittsburgh scoring just over two. Pittsburgh will struggle to score against Stroman just as they did last week. The Cubs should get some good swings against Oveida and I like them to come away with a win.

Heaney is 1-2 on the road with a 0.94 WHIP and 2.43 ERA. Scholtens has made seven appearances this season with one start. The Rangers' offense ranks #1 in baseball in runs per game and will get a heavy dose of an inconsistent Sox bullpen. Heaney has pitched well on the road and will face a Sox team that is hitting just .211 in their last 0 games. The Rangers won two of three games in Chicago last season. The Rangers have gone 4-1 in Heaney's last five starts and have won four straight on the road. The Rangers offense should have a field day against Sox pitching. Play on Texas | |||||||
