05-23-22 | Phillies -128 v. Braves | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The first game of the series features Wheeler (2-3, 3.49 ERA) against rookie Atlanta left-hander Tucker Davidson (1-0, 5.87). Over his last four starts, Wheeler is 2-0 with a 1.04 ERA. He has not allowed a run in three of those outings and has allowed only three runs in 26 innings in that stretch. Wheeler is coming off perhaps his best start of the season when he threw seven scoreless innings in a 3-0 win over the San Diego Padres last Wednesday. Wheeler allowed only four hits and struck out a season-high nine batters. |

05-22-22 | Padres v. Giants -130 | 10-1 | Loss | -130 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Padres will send rookie MacKenzie Gore (2-1, 2.17 ERA) to the mound this afternoon against Alex Wood (3-2, 3.93) in a match of left-handers. Gore, 23, the Padres' first-round pick in the 2017 draft, will face the Giants for the first time. He is coming off his first relief appearance in the majors in a piggyback role to Mike Clevinger last Tuesday night in Philadelphia. Wood will make his eighth start of the season and his second against the Padres. Wood is 4-2 lifetime against the Padres with a 2.93 ERA in 17 appearances (11 starts). He has given the Padres 25 runs (23 earned) on 61 hits and 19 walks with 75 strikeouts in 70 2/3 innings. |
|||||||
05-22-22 | Diamondbacks v. Cubs -120 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Diamondbacks will try to complete the historic sweep against Chicago left-hander Wade Miley (1-0, 2.70 ERA). The 35-year-old allowed three runs, five hits and walked five in his Chicago debut at San Diego on May 10. But he rebounded by tossing seven innings of one-hit ball, while striking out six without a walk, during Monday's 9-0 home win over Pittsburgh. Miley pitched his first four major league seasons (2011-14) in Arizona and won a career-high 16 games in 2012. However, since leaving the Diamondbacks, Miley has faced his former team once -- with Baltimore on Sept. 24, 2016, when he allowed one run, seven hits and struck out 11 over 8 2/3 innings. |
|||||||
05-22-22 | Braves v. Marlins -125 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Atlanta will turn to Ian Anderson (3-2, 3.75 ERA) as the starter today. Anderson is 1-2 with a 4.15 ERA in six career starts vs. Miami. He has struggled to contain Chisholm (5-for-13), Jesus Aguilar (4-for-11) and Jesus Sanchez (5-for-6). Right-hander Sandy Alcantara (3-2, 2.49) will take the mound for Miami today. He turned in a dominant performance against the Washington Nationals last Monday, allowing one run on three hits over eight innings of an 8-2 victory. Alcantara, 26, lost his first two starts this month but has allowed a total of two runs and five hits over his last two outings covering 15 innings. Alcantara is 2-1 with a 2.20 ERA in seven career starts against the Braves. |
|||||||
05-22-22 | Rays -165 v. Orioles | 6-7 | Loss | -165 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This will be the rubber game of the series. The Rays have won seven of their last nine series. Right-hander Corey Kluber (1-2, 4.29 ERA) will start for the Rays in the series finale. Tampa Bay has scored just five total runs in support of Kluber's last three starts. Against the Orioles, Kluber holds a 5-1 record and 2.94 ERA in 11 career starts. Spenser Watkins (0-1, 5.10 ERA) goes to the mound for the Orioles. The right-hander went 1-3 in four starts last season vs. the Rays, though he hasn't won a game since beating Tampa Bay on July 19. Tampa Bay has won 28 of its last 31 meetings with the Orioles, including four of five this season. |
|||||||
05-22-22 | Dodgers -130 v. Phillies | 3-4 | Loss | -130 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dodgers will send Tony Gonsolin (4-0, 1.64 ERA) to the mound. Gonsolin is 0-0 with a 2.45 ERA in one career start in 2021 against the Phillies. Zach Eflin (1-3, 3.90 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Phillies. Eflin gave up five hits and one run in six strong innings in his last start against San Diego. Eflin has struggled in six career starts against the Dodgers, going 0-3 with an 8.78 ERA. |
|||||||
05-21-22 | Twins -140 v. Royals | 9-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Twins will send Joe Ryan (4-2, 2.39 ERA) to the mound to face fellow right-hander Brad Keller (1-3, 2.89). Minnesota recorded a 6-4 victory in the series opener on Friday. The Twins saw a 4-1 lead trimmed to a run before rookie Jose Miranda drove in two runs with a double in the eighth inning. Miranda entered the game mired in an 0-for-20 skid. The Royals rank in the bottom third of the American League in runs per game, while the Twins are in the middle third. But the two starters will make things difficult for whoever is batting. Ryan has a WHIP of 0.96, with Keller not far behind at 1.01. Keller owns a 3-3 record with a 3.20 ERA in nine career starts against Minnesota. Ryan has been everything manager Rocco Baldelli could have hoped for in Ryan's first full season with the Twins. Ryan has allowed more than two earned runs on just one occasion in seven starts. In his last start against the Guardians, he allowed one run on four hits in six innings, striking out five and walking none. The only run he allowed came on a solo home run by Jose Ramirez. And he finished strong, closing with two shutout innings before exiting after a career-high 103 pitches. |
|||||||
05-21-22 | Braves -135 v. Marlins | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A pair of right-handers will start today as Atlanta sends Kyle Wright (3-2, 2.79 ERA) against Miami's Elieser Hernandez (2-3, 6.15). Hernandez is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in three starts in May. In his last start on May 15 against Milwaukee, he allowed five runs (two earned) in four innings to suffer his second straight loss. Hernandez has allowed 10 homers in 33 2/3 innings this season. Hernandez owns a 1-1 record with a 3.22 ERA in 11 career appearances (six starts) vs. the Braves. He pitched against Atlanta on April 23 and allowed five runs on seven hits -- three home runs -- in 4 2/3 innings. Wright is coming off his sixth quality start of the season. He allowed three runs (one earned) in 6 1/3 innings against the San Diego Padres on May 15. He struck out nine and walked two but received no decision. |
|||||||
05-21-22 | Mariners v. Red Sox -149 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After beginning the season in relief, Boston's Garrett Whitlock (1-1, 2.43 ERA) is slated to make his sixth start of the season, and his career, today. Whitlock has allowed three runs or fewer in each outing this season, though he has yet to log a win as a starter after getting a third straight no-decision on Monday in the Red Sox's 6-3 win over the Houston Astros. Seattle will turn to Chris Flexen (1-6, 4.35), who has lost four consecutive starts since an April 22 win over the Kansas City Royals. He fell to the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday despite striking out seven, as he allowed three runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings. |
|||||||
05-21-22 | Mets -120 v. Rockies | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Today's opener will feature a battle of right-handers, New York's Carlos Carrasco (3-1, 3.73 ERA) and Colorado's German Marquez (1-3, 6.16). Marquez was an All-Star last year, but his ERA this season is nearly two runs higher than his 4.36 career mark. The Rockies need him to pitch like an ace if they are to have any chance in the ultra-competitive National League West. |
|||||||
05-21-22 | White Sox v. Yankees -199 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 2 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cortes (2-1, 1.35 ERA), who was New York's 36th-round pick in the 2013 draft, has allowed two earned runs in his past 16 starts. That matches teammate Luis Severino (2018) for the Yankees' second-longest streak of allowing three runs or fewer. The record is more than a century old, 20 by Russ Ford (1910-1911). The 5-foot-11 left-hander's last two appearances were among the most impressive of his 23 career starts. On May 9, he came within five outs of a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers before settling for a one-hit, 7 1/3-inning performance in a 1-0 victory. He followed that Sunday afternoon by allowing one run on three hits in the longest outing of his career, eight complete innings, in a 5-1 win in Chicago. |
|||||||
05-20-22 | Rangers +1.5 v. Hurricanes | 0-2 | Loss | -170 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sebastian Aho scored late in the third period and defenseman Ian Cole tallied 3:12 into overtime to lift Carolina to a 2-1 victory over New York in the series opener on Wednesday. Cole scored his second career NHL playoff goal after his wrist shot from above the right faceoff circle caromed off the stick of Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren and past Vezina Trophy finalist Igor Shesterkin. While the Hurricanes won Game 1 for the second straight series in these playoffs, the Rangers find themselves trailing after the opener for the second consecutive time. New York fell in triple overtime in Game 1 of its first-round series to Pittsburgh and overcame a 3-1 deficit in games to eliminate the Penguins. |
|||||||
05-20-22 | Mariners v. Red Sox -110 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After defeating the Seattle Mariners with a season-high 12-run, 16-hit performance on Thursday, the Boston Red Sox look to build upon that victory as the four-game series continues today. Michael Wacha (3-0, 1.38 ERA) is expected to come off the injured list to start for Boston. Consider that the Mariners are 8-15 on the road. |
|||||||
05-20-22 | Reds v. Blue Jays -156 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cincinnati will start right-hander Luis Castillo (0-1, 5.59 ERA) today against Toronto left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu (0-0, 9.00). It will be Castillo's first career start against Toronto. Ryu has faced Cincinnati seven times in his career (all starts), each when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers, going 4-2 with a 3.70 ERA. Toronto did not play on Thursday. The Blue Jays are averaging 3.68 runs per game, 10th in the American League entering Thursday. |
|||||||
05-20-22 | Rays -126 v. Orioles | 6-8 | Loss | -126 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Rays will look to continue their mastery of the host Baltimore Orioles when they open a three-game series today. The Rays opened the season with a three-game sweep of the visiting Orioles in St. Petersburg, Fla., after defeating Baltimore in 18 of the teams' 19 meetings last year, including going 9-0 at Camden Yards. Tampa Bay, which has won two in a row and five of its last seven games, will hand the ball to left-hander Jalen Beeks (1-0, 1.72 ERA), a reliever who will be making his first start of the season. Beeks has made nine appearances totaling 15 2/3 innings this season, including 1 2/3 innings against the Orioles. Beeks allowed two hits to go along with four strikeouts and a walk during an 8-0 win on April 10. The Orioles, who lost six straight games until defeating the Yankees, 9-6, on Thursday, will counter with right-hander Tyler Wells (1-3, 4.18 ERA). Wells allowed three runs on eight hits with two strikeouts and no walks over four innings in a 5-1 loss at Detroit on Sunday in his last start. Wells struggled mightily against the Rays earlier this season. He lasted just 1 2/3 innings in which he gave up four runs on three hits with two strikeouts and two walks in an 8-0 loss on April 10. |
|||||||
05-20-22 | Cardinals -140 v. Pirates | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In the series opener, St. Louis right-hander Adam Wainwright (4-3, 3.15 ERA) is scheduled to face Pittsburgh right-hander Zach Thompson (2-3, 5.47). Wainwright can't pull out a deed, but he nearly owns the Pirates. In 48 games, including 42 starts, against them, he is 22-7 with a 3.65 ERA. And the 40-year-old might be getting better with age against the Pirates. Wainwright comes into Friday with a 32-inning scoreless streak against Pittsburgh, dating to June 26, 2021. At PNC Park, site of this weekend's series, he has pitched 20 straight scoreless innings dating to Sept. 7, 2019. Last season, Wainwright compiled a 0.30 ERA in four starts against the Pirates. Then he blanked Pittsburgh over six innings in an Opening Day win this year. |
|||||||
05-16-22 | Angels -134 v. Rangers | 4-7 | Loss | -134 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Right-hander Noah Syndergaard (3-1, 2.45 ERA) will take the mound for the Angels, and Texas will counter with right-hander Jon Gray (0-1, 5.51). Syndergaard already has a win over the Rangers in Arlington this season, going six innings in a 7-2 Los Angeles victory on April 16. Syndergaard grew up in Mansfield, Texas, about a 20-minute drive from Globe Life Field, and it was the first time he had pitched in his "hometown." |
|||||||
05-16-22 | Braves v. Brewers -136 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Freddy Peralta (2-1, 4.40 ERA) is Milwaukee's expected starter today, and he has been stellar over his last four appearances. Peralta has allowed just five earned runs in his last 21 2/3 innings, good for an ERA of 2.08. Peralta has made four appearances, including three starts, against the Braves, and he is 2-1 with a 4.41 ERA in 16 1/3 innings. |
|||||||
05-16-22 | Mariners +149 v. Blue Jays | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The three-game series with the Mariners will open a six-game homestand for the Blue Jays. They dropped the rubber match of a three-game series 3-0 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday to complete a 2-7 trip. They have lost four straight series as their hitting woes continue. Kikuchi (1-1, 4.15 ERA) signed with the Blue Jays as a free agent after pitching three seasons with the Mariners. He was 15-24 with a 4.97 ERA, over 70 starts with Seattle. |
|||||||
05-16-22 | Yankees -184 v. Orioles | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Yankees, who took three of four games against the Chicago White Sox this past weekend, are a major league-best 25-9. The Orioles got swept in their three-game series by the host Detroit Tigers after arriving in Motown having won six of eight games. The Yankees, whose 167 runs are second-most in the American League, will look to take advantage of Orioles rookie right-hander Kyle Bradish (1-1, 4.24 ERA), who was fantastic in his last start. He allowed two earned runs on four hits to go along with 11 strikeouts and no walks in seven innings in a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Bradish's third start of the season came after he held Boston to two earned runs on five hits in six innings during a 3-1 loss on April 29 in his major league debut. He surrendered four earned runs on six hits over four innings during a 9-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on May 4. The Yankees will counter with Luis Severino (2-0, 4.08), who is no stranger to the Orioles. The right-hander has dominated Baltimore in 11 games (nine starts) throughout his career. He's 6-1 with a 3.59 ERA with 58 strikeouts and 15 walks in 57 2/3 innings. He's picked up the victory in each of his last five starts against the Orioles dating to May 2017. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Cubs v. Diamondbacks -115 | 3-2 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It's the final game of a six-game western road trip that started with Chicago winning two of three games in San Diego. The Cubs then bounced back from a 4-3 loss to Arizona in Friday night's series opener to pull out a 4-2 victory on Saturday night. Left-hander Justin Steele (1-4, 5.32 ERA) will start for the Cubs. He pitched five shutout innings in a 9-0 win over Milwaukee in his first start of the season on April 9 but hasn't won in five starts since. Right-hander Humberto Castellanos (2-1, 4.32) will get the nod for Arizona, which will attempt to win its fourth consecutive series. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Royals v. Rockies -139 | 8-7 | Loss | -139 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Colorado hit three homers in a 10-4 win over the Kansas City Royals to end a five-game losing streak. The Rockies will look to win the series against Kansas City when the teams play a matinee game today in Denver. The Royals will send Daniel Lynch (2-2, 4.01 ERA) against Colorado's Austin Gomber (2-3, 4.36) in a matchup of left-handers. Kansas City won the first game of the weekend series on Friday night thanks to a season-high 18 hits. But the Royals' pitching has been less than stellar against the Rockies. Kansas City has allowed 10 runs in each of the first two games of the series but hopes Lynch can stop that trend today. Gomber has faced Kansas City three times in his career -- twice as a starter -- and his 2-0. He has not allowed a run in 12 2/3 innings against the Royals. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Mariners +126 v. Mets | 8-7 | Win | 126 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mets, who haven't lost a series this season, will look to win another one today when they are scheduled to host the Seattle Mariners in the rubber match of a three-game interleague set. Right-hander Carlos Carrasco (3-1, 3.19 ERA) is slated to take the mound for the Mets against the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, left-hander Robbie Ray (3-3, 4.22 ERA). The Mets squandered a four-run lead Saturday by allowing a single run in the sixth and three more in the seventh, before Mazeika led off the bottom of the inning by hitting Andres Munoz's first pitch well into the right field seats for the tie-breaking run in a 5-4 victory. Carrasco won his second straight start Tuesday, when he allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings as the Mets beat the Washington Nationals 4-2. Ray also won Tuesday after surrendering two runs over 5 2/3 innings in the Mariners' 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Carrasco is 5-3 with a 3.67 ERA in 10 career appearances (nine starts) against the Mariners. Ray is 3-1 with a 2.60 ERA in six starts against the Mets. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Astros -182 v. Nationals | 8-0 | Win | 100 | 3 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units There should be no reason to fret for the Houston Astros after their pitching, which had been so dominant the past couple of weeks, let them down. They'll be right back at it this afternoon to finish a three-game road series against the Washington Nationals about 15 hours after their 11-game winning streak came to a halt. The Astros send out right-hander Justin Verlander (4-1, 1.55 ERA) to try to put the team back on track. Verlander has faced the Nationals just twice in his 460-game career, winning both of those starts (in 2010 and 2013 when he was with the Detroit Tigers). Left-hander Patrick Corbin (0-5, 6.06 ERA) is slated to make the start for Washington. Corbin has worked five or more innings in each of his past three starts. The Nationals are 0-7 when he starts this season. |

05-15-22 | Padres v. Braves -117 | 7-3 | Loss | -117 | 1 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units |
|||||||
05-14-22 | Royals v. Rockies -149 | 4-10 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kansas City will send Carlos Hernandez (0-2, 7.15 ERA) to the mound against German Marquez (0-3, 6.47) in a matchup of winless right-handers. Hernandez hasn't faced the Rockies in his career and will have to deal with pitching at altitude. Marquez hopes his most recent start can be a catalyst to a turnaround. The team's lone All-Star last season has struggled much of this year, but he logged a quality start in his last outing in Arizona, allowing three earned runs in six innings. It wasn't enough to prevent his third straight loss, but Rockies manager Bud Black saw some improvement in his pitcher's start. Marquez got a no-decision in his only career start against the Royals despite allowing just two run over six innings back on Aug. 24, 2017, in Kansas City. |
|||||||
05-14-22 | Yankees -155 v. White Sox | 2-3 | Loss | -155 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After outscoring the White Sox 25-11 to open the set, the Yankees will aim to keep rolling on Saturday. New York has won 17 of its past 19 and 24 of 32 to begin the season. Today's pitching matchup pits a pair of left-handers in Jordan Montgomery of New York and Chicago's Dallas Keuchel. Montgomery (0-1, 2.90 ERA) is coming off Sunday's no-decision against the Texas Rangers, when he scattered two runs on four hits in six innings with zero walks and five strikeouts. Control has been a strong suit for Montgomery thus far; he hasn't walked a batter in three straight starts and has issued just five free passes in 31 innings. In three career starts against the White Sox, Montgomery is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 20 innings. Keuchel (2-3, 6.86) stopped a three-start losing streak Sunday at Boston with six innings of two-run, eight-hit ball with one walk and five strikeouts. He is 4-4 with a 2.23 ERA in nine career starts against the Yankees. |
|||||||
05-14-22 | Astros -152 v. Nationals | 6-13 | Loss | -152 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Astros hold an 11-game winning streak. After beating Washington on Friday night, they've won four games on what's scheduled to be a nine-game road trip. The Nationals have won four home games all season, dipping to 4-14 at Nationals Park. The Houston pitching staff is in a good spot after Framber Valdez logged 7 2/3 innings and gave up one run. The Astros will go with right-hander Cristian Javier (2-0, 0.83 ERA) today as Houston skips over Jake Odorizzi's spot in the order. Odorizzi got off to a slow 2022 season but has won three straight games, giving up one run in 17 2/3 innings. |
|||||||
05-14-22 | Brewers -118 v. Marlins | 3-9 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Milwaukee, which beat Miami 2-1 on Friday, is led by left-hander Josh Hader, who has been selected the National League Reliever of the Year three times over the past four seasons. He got the save in the series opener with a perfect ninth inning. Hader was better than ever last year, posting a career-best 1.23 ERA with 34 saves in 35 chances. This year, Hader has a 0.00 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings. He is 13-for-13 on save chances and has allowed just two hits and five walks. As for the starters today, Miami will go with left-hander Trevor Rogers (1-4, 5.00 ERA) while Milwaukee will start lefty Eric Lauer (3-0, 1.82). The Marlins are just 1-5 when Rogers starts. |
|||||||
05-14-22 | Padres v. Braves -134 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The pitching matchup today features Atlanta right-hander Charlie Morton (2-4, 5.65 ERA) and San Diego left-hander Sean Manaea (2-3, 3.75). Morton bounced back in his last start on Sunday against Milwaukee. The veteran had endured four consecutive subpar performances, losing three, but he looked good while throwing five shutout innings to beat the Brewers. Morton lost to the Padres on April 14, allowing five runs in five innings during an 11-1 defeat. He has made 10 career starts against San Diego, going 6-2 with a 2.66 ERA. Manaea lost his latest start against the Miami Marlins on May 7, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out a season-high eight. Manaea has allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over his past 17 innings across three starts. |

05-13-22 | Grizzlies +8.5 v. Warriors | 96-110 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units At home, the Warriors have been unbeatable during the playoffs. They won three home games in a row by an average of 13.3 points over the Denver Nuggets in Round 1 and crushed the Grizzlies 142-112 in San Francisco in Game 3 of this series as the visitors watched Morant go down with a knee injury. But Memphis, as it has done all season, has responded well to seeing its star in street clothes on the sidelines. The Grizzlies were without Morant for 25 games in the regular season, winning 20 of them. And in Game 4 they led for almost 46 of the 48 minutes despite shooting poorly (41.7 percent overall, 25.7 percent on 3-pointers) but the Warriors escaped with a 101-98 decision. Then in Game 5, the Grizzlies' shots fell at a rate of 47.5 percent, including 43.9 percent on 3-point shots, and they buried the Warriors early. Memphis led by 10 after the first, 27 after the second, and 52 points after the third quarter. The lead topped out at 55. Consider that the Grizzlies are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. |
|||||||
05-13-22 | Phillies v. Dodgers -220 | 12-10 | Loss | -220 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Phillies will send right-hander Kyle Gibson (3-1, 2.94 ERA) to the mound today. In three lifetime appearances (two starts) against the Dodgers, Gibson is 0-3 with a 9.00 ERA. In a home start against Los Angeles last August, Gibson gave up six runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. The Dodgers fell Thursday for the third time in four games despite a valiant comeback attempt. Los Angeles tied the game 7-7 after trailing by six runs but still ended up with just its third defeat in 13 home games. Poised to get the Dodgers out of their funk, as he has done so many times in the past, is Clayton Kershaw (4-0, 1.80 ERA). The veteran left-hander has given up one run or none in four of his five starts. He is coming off a road victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, when he gave up five hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. Kershaw had just two strikeouts against the Cubs, which was more a product of an aggressive Chicago offense. He got 21 outs on just 81 pitches. Now Kershaw faces another offense known for going on the attack early in counts. |

05-13-22 | Angels -142 v. A's | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Angels will send Chase Silseth to the mound to make his major league debut tonight against the host Oakland A's in the opener of a four-game series. The Angels needed an extra starter because of a Saturday doubleheader, and they elected to promote Silseth from Double-A Rocket City after the right-hander went 2-0 with a 1.73 ERA in five starts for the Trash Pandas. Silseth, 21, was an 11th-round selection in 2021 as part a draft in which the Angels drafted all pitchers. The University of Arizona product will be the first player drafted in 2021 to reach the big leagues in all of baseball. Silseth lasted six innings in each of his past three starts, but the Angels will have a bullpen rested and ready thanks to an off day on Thursday. Anchored by closer Raisel Iglesias, the Angels' bullpen has been solid. The relief corps, which currently also includes Aaron Loup, Jimmy Herget, Oliver Ortega, Ryan Tepera, Mike Mayers and Jaime Barria, has an 8-3 record and a 3.49 ERA. Right-hander Daulton Jefferies (1-5, 5.22 ERA) starts Friday for Oakland. He lost each of his past five starts after winning his initial outing of the season. |

05-13-22 | Royals v. Rockies -133 | 14-10 | Loss | -133 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Greinke (0-2, 2.67 ERA) will be opposed by left-hander Kyle Freeland (1-3, 3.94). Kansas City is coming off 3-1 road loss to the Texas Rangers on Thursday night, while Colorado had a much-needed off day. Despite his record, Greinke has been pitching well -- and efficiently. In a time when strikeouts account for nearly a third of all outs across baseball, Greinke has been throwing few pitches, striking out only 7.5 percent of the batters he has faced through his first six starts. He has fanned just 10 batters in 33 2/3 innings, and in only two of his six starts has he struck out more than one. Rockies starter Kyle Freeland has been good at home off a team loss in his career. Colorado is 5-0 in its past five home games against losing AL teams. |

05-13-22 | Yankees -171 v. White Sox | 10-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New York is 16-2 in its past 18 games and its 23-8 start is its best since 2003. The Yankees have scored 62 of their 150 runs in the seventh inning or beyond after scoring nine times in their final three innings of a 15-7 win over the White Sox on Thursday. Gerrit Cole (2-0, 2.67 ERA), who is 2-0 with a 0.47 ERA in his past three outings, will start for the Yankees on Friday. He allowed one run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings and struck out 10 in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers on Sunday. He wound up with a no-decision after allowing Kole Calhoun's tying homer on his final pitch. Cole is 2-1 with a 3.79 ERA in three career starts against the White Sox. He last faced them May 22, 2021, in New York, when he allowed four hits in seven scoreless innings. Chicago is 7-3 in its past 10 games overall but also 1-8 in its past nine games against the Yankees. |

05-13-22 | Astros -145 v. Nationals | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Astros left-hander Framber Valdez (1-2, 3.34 ERA) is slated to start against right-hander Josiah Gray (4-2, 3.45). The Astros ran their winning streak to 10 games and moved into first place in the American League West by winning twice Thursday afternoon. After beating the host Minnesota Twins 11-3 in the completion of a game suspended due to thunderstorms Wednesday night, Houston earned a 5-0 win in the regularly scheduled contest. The Nationals fell 4-1 to the visiting New York Mets on Thursday in the rubber game of a three-game series. Washington has dropped six of its past eight games. |

05-12-22 | Oilers v. Kings +130 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A resilient approach now has the Kings heading into today's home clash against their Pacific Division rival with the opportunity to advance to the next round. After Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory at Edmonton, the Kings have a 3-2 series lead and an opportunity to close out the best-of-seven matchup in their own building. In NHL history, teams that win Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead have an all-time record of 219-58 (.791) in best-of-seven series. Road teams that won Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead have an 82-25 mark (.764). |
|||||||
05-12-22 | Phillies v. Dodgers -135 | 9-7 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson (3-0, 2.78 ERA) will enter today's start coming off consecutive victories. In his first season with the club, Anderson has been in the rotation since lefty Andrew Heaney went on the injured list due to shoulder discomfort on April 20. In his most recent outing, Anderson gave up two runs over five innings in the Dodgers' 6-2 road victory over the Chicago Cubs during the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday. Over four lifetime starts against the Phillies, Anderson is 2-1 with a 3.13 ERA. Philadelphia will send right-hander Zack Wheeler (1-3, 4.10 ERA) to the mound on Thursday in his return from the COVID-19 injured list. In five career starts against the Dodgers, Wheeler is 2-2 with a 4.66 ERA. |
|||||||
05-12-22 | Wild v. Blues OVER 6.5 | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Vladimir Tarasenko and Karill Kaprizov continue their scoring duel when the St. Louis Blues host the Minnesota Wild in Game 6 of their first-round Western Conference series. Kaprizov scored twice in Game 5 Tuesday to give the Wild a 2-1 lead, but Tarasenko responded with a third-period hat trick to give the Blues a 5-2 victory. Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington has won both starts since replacing Ville Husso in the nets after Game 3. His ability to handle the puck behind the net helped the depleted Blues defense corps, which regained Nick Leddy and Robert Bortuzzo in Game 5 but is still missing regulars Torey Krug and Marco Scandella due to lower-body injuries. Consider that the Over is 10-1-1 in Wild last 12 following a loss of 3 or more goals and 20-7-1 in Wild last 28 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. |

05-12-22 | Maple Leafs v. Lightning -130 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs have a chance to win a first-round playoff series for the first time since 2004 tonight when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning for Game 6. Toronto defeated Tampa Bay 4-3 on Tuesday night at home to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. They have lost in the opening round of the playoffs in their five previous tries, as well as in the 2020 qualifying round. Last season, Toronto even led the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 in a first-round series before falling. Additionally, Tampa Bay has won 16 consecutive playoff games following a loss. |
|||||||
05-12-22 | Reds v. Pirates OVER 8 | 4-0 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Reds, last in the NL, responded to their first series win last weekend against Pittsburgh by winning another against NL Central leader Milwaukee, taking two of three, including a 14-11 win Wednesday. The series loss in Cincinnati didn't seem to dampen Pittsburgh's desire. The Pirates bounced back to take two of three from the NL's top team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, including a 5-3 win Wednesday. Also consider that the Over is 13-2-1 in Reds last 16 overall and 18-5-3 in Reds last 26 games vs. a right-handed starter. |

05-12-22 | Mets -152 v. Nationals | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mets will look to maintain their unbeaten series record when they visit the Washington Nationals in a matinee finale of a three-game set. Taijuan Walker (0-0, 4.91 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against Joan Adon (1-5, 6.99 ERA) in a battle of right-handers. Adon made his lone appearance against the Mets on April 9, when he took the loss after allowing four runs over 4 1/3 innings in New York's 5-0 victory. |
|||||||
05-11-22 | Mets -170 v. Nationals | 3-8 | Loss | -170 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The visiting Mets will look to lock up another series win tonight when they oppose the Washington Nationals in the middle game of a three-game set between the NL East rivals. Tylor Megill (4-1, 2.43 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Mets against Aaron Sanchez (1-2, 8.56) in a battle of right-handers. Megill absorbed his first loss of the season in his most recent start, when he allowed three runs over 5 1/3 innings as the Mets fell 9-2 to the Atlanta Braves on May 4. Sanchez took a defeat on Thursday, when he gave up seven runs (six earned) over 4 1/3 innings as the Nationals fell 9-7 to the Colorado Rockies. Megill is 2-1 with a 3.38 ERA in three career starts against the Nationals. Sanchez has never opposed the Mets. |

05-11-22 | Marlins v. Diamondbacks -105 | 11-3 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arizona has won 11 of its past 14 games to move three games over .500 at 17-14, and the team's starting pitchers are 7-0 with a 1.41 ERA over the past 11 games. Merrill Kelly, Zac Gallen and Madison Bumgarner each have sub-2.00 ERAs for the Diamondbacks, who had the worst record in the National League last season. Arizona, which has won its first five meetings against Miami this season, will turn to Kelly (3-1, 1.22 ERA) for the series finale. The right-hander continued his impressive beginning with another strong outing on Friday. He allowed one run on seven hits over 8 2/3 innings in a 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The Marlins have dropped three straight games and nine of their past 10. They could use a strong outing from Sandy Alcantara (2-2, 3.03 ERA) after Jesus Luzardo lasted just 2 2/3 innings on Tuesday in a 9-3 loss. |
|||||||
05-11-22 | Phillies v. Mariners -139 | 4-2 | Loss | -139 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the series finale, the Phillies are expected to call up left-hander Bailey Falter (0-1, 4.91 ERA) from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to make the second start of his career. All four of his previous major league outings this year came in relief. Right-hander Logan Gilbert (4-0, 1.36 ERA), the American League's Pitcher of the Month for April, is set to start for Seattle. Gilbert had won four consecutive starts before getting a no-decision against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, when he yielded four runs (three earned) in five innings. Neither Falter nor Gilbert has faced the opposition before. |
|||||||
05-11-22 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -136 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New York's Jameson Taillon (2-1, 2.84 ERA) will face the Blue Jays for the third time this season and the second straight outing. The right-hander held them to two runs and five hits on April 11 in a 3-0 loss in New York and then allowed one run on five hits in a season-high six innings of a 9-1 win at Toronto on May 3. Jose Berrios (2-1, 5.34 ERA), who is coming off his worst outing of the season, will start for the Blue Jays. Berrios took his first loss of the season when he allowed season highs of six runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 6-5 defeat against the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. Berrios is 2-2 with a 4.83 ERA in six career starts against the Yankees. He last faced them on April 13 in New York, when he allowed three runs (including solo homers by Anthony Rizzo and Judge) in a five-inning no-decision. |
|||||||
05-11-22 | Dodgers -177 v. Pirates | 3-5 | Loss | -177 | 1 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units' Before Monday, the Dodgers had beaten the Pirates 16 straight times. In those 16 games, they amassed 111 runs while holding Pittsburgh to 46 runs. Los Angeles is 24-3 against the Pirates since 2017. Thus Monday's game seems like the outlier, pending today's outcome. In the series finale, Los Angeles right-hander Ryan Pepiot will make his major league debut, facing Pittsburgh left-hander Dillon Peters (3-1, 2.16 ERA). This season for Oklahoma City, Pepiot has a 2.05 ERA in six starts, with 36 strikeouts and 12 walks in 26 1/3 innings. Pepiot, the Pacific Coast League pitcher of the month for April, gave up two runs and struck out seven in 4 2/3 innings against Albuquerque on Friday. Peters, meanwhile, almost assuredly will be used as an opener, especially since he just pitched Sunday -- when he did not record an out in a relief appearance and gave up four runs and one hit and three walks in Pittsburgh's 7-3 loss at Cincinnati. |

05-10-22 | Rays -110 v. Angels | 0-12 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Left-hander Reid Detmers (1-1, 5.32 ERA) will be on the mound for the Angels on Tuesday to make his sixth start of the season and the 11th of his career. He has never faced the Rays. Right-hander Corey Kluber (1-1, 2.36 ERA) will make his sixth start of the year for the Rays, coming off two outstanding outings. His last time out, on Wednesday in Oakland, he shut out the A's on three hits over six innings, striking out seven and walking only one but getting a no-decision. His previous start, on April 29, he allowed just one run on one hit and no walks in six innings in a win over the visiting Minnesota Twins. |

05-10-22 | Astros -135 v. Twins | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Houston Astros will go for their eighth win in a row when they visit the Minnesota Twins to open a nine-game road trip tonight in Minneapolis. Houston is coming off a four-game home sweep of the Detroit Tigers. That followed the Astros' three-game sweep, also at home, against the Seattle Mariners. During their seven-game win streak, the Astros have allowed only eight runs. Their pitchers combined for three shutouts and limited opponents to two runs apiece in the other four wins. Houston right-hander Justin Verlander (3-1, 1.93 ERA) is slated to start the series opener. Verlander has 229 career victories, and his next win will move him past Luis Tiant, Will White and Sam Jones for sole possession of No. 66 on the all-time list. In 38 career starts against Minnesota, Verlander is 20-10 with a 2.91 ERA. |

05-10-22 | Red Sox v. Braves -133 | 9-4 | Loss | -133 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wright has ascended to become Atlanta's top right-handed starter in the early portion of the season. The 2017 first-round pick has produced quality starts in each of his first five starts, two of them six-inning scoreless outings. Wright took his first loss in his most recent start last Tuesday in the second game of a doubleheader against the New York Mets when he allowed three runs over seven innings. Wright didn't have his overpowering stuff -- a season-low three strikeouts -- but he kept the game close. Wright has two career appearances, one start, against the Red Sox. He has a 2.08 ERA after allowing two runs in 8 2/3 innings. He made his major league debut in relief against Boston in 2018. The Braves are coming off a 2-1 series win against the National League Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers. The Red Sox have dropped five in a row after being swept in a three-game series by the Chicago White Sox. The Red Sox are 4-14 over their past 18 games and have been hurt by the inability to win a close game. Of their 29 games, 17 have been decided by two or fewer runs, 10 by one run. |

05-10-22 | Mets -165 v. Nationals | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nationals completed a nine-game road trip Sunday by falling to the Los Angeles Angels, 5-4, in the rubber game of a three-game series. With the win in the second game, the Mets became the first team this season to reach 20 victories and won yet another series. New York entered Monday with the best on-base percentage (.335) in the majors and the second-lowest ERA (3.24) in the National League. The loss Sunday made the Nationals just the second team in baseball to reach 20 defeats and dropped Washington 10 games behind the Mets. Only the Cincinnati Reds are farther out of first place. Corbin took the loss despite throwing a complete game last Wednesday, when he allowed five runs (three earned) over eight innings as the Nationals fell to the Colorado Rockies, 5-2. He is 5-8 with a 4.34 ERA in 21 career games (20 starts) against the Mets. |

05-10-22 | Brewers -179 v. Reds | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Brewers enter play today riding a season-high, three-game losing streak. They will look to change their fortunes against Reds rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (1-4, 8.71 ERA), who will attempt to get back on track. It's been a rough ride for the top player in Cincinnati's farm system since he won his major league debut at Atlanta on April 10. Greene has lost each of his subsequent four starts and has thrown fewer than five innings in each of the past three. His first career appearance against the Brewers was the roughest of his young career. In taking a 10-5 loss on Thursday, Greene allowed five home runs, matching the club record by a pitcher in a game. Luis Urias and Christian Yelich opened the game with home runs, and things didn't get much better from there. Greene was tagged for eight runs on nine hits while striking out seven and walking one over just 2 2/3 innings. Since throwing a major-league-record 39 pitches over 100 mph against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his second start, Greene is 0-3 with a 13.06 ERA, having allowed 15 runs in 10 1/3 innings. |

05-10-22 | Tigers v. A's -105 | 6-0 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit has been blanked in its past two games. The Tigers managed just one hit while falling 5-0 against the host Houston Astros on Sunday, then collected just four against the A's on Monday. Over the past five games, the Tigers are 1-for-33 with runners in scoring position. Frankie Montas (2-2, 3.44 ERA) will start the first game of the doubleheader for Oakland. Montas wound up with a no-decision in his latest start, against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, despite tossing seven scoreless innings and striking out six. Montas has given up two or fewer earned runs and lasted at least six innings in four of his six starts this year. He is 4-2 with a 5.01 ERA in seven career appearances against Detroit, including six starts. He will be opposed by left-hander Tarik Skubal (1-2, 3.04 ERA). lost both of his career starts against Oakland, both last season, giving up eight runs (seven earned) in nine innings. |

05-09-22 | Marlins v. Diamondbacks +108 | 3-4 | Win | 108 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two right-handers will start against each other today with Elieser Hernandez (2-1, 6.66 ERA) going for the Marlins and Humberto Castellanos (2-1, 4.12) pitching for Arizona. Hernandez has struggled in his four career starts against Arizona with an 0-2 record and 7.80 ERA. He had a no decision in his start last week when the Diamondbacks beat the Marlins 8-7 in Miami. He allowed five hits and five earned runs with three strikeouts and three walks in four innings. Castellanos had his first career start against Miami last week in a 5-4 win. He got the victory after not allowing a run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings and striking out four and not issuing a walk. |
|||||||
05-09-22 | Cubs v. Padres -160 | 6-0 | Loss | -160 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Padres have faced only three teams with winning records -- the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks -- and they are 5-5 against those National League West rivals. Against everyone else, the Padres are 14-5. They already have completed their season series against the hapless Cincinnati Reds with a 6-0 sweep. This past weekend, the Padres took three of four from the Marlins despite being outscored 13-8. Miami entered the series with a four-game losing streak. Tonight the Chicago Cubs will play in San Diego with a five-game losing streak. The only team beneath the Cubs in the National League Central is Cincinnati. Plus, the Cubs have holes in their rotation. Marcus Stroman was placed on the injured list Sunday just before he was scheduled to pitch against the Dodgers. Justin Steele, who was scheduled to open the three-game series against the Padres on Monday night, was pushed up a day and started Sunday, but he left the game before the start of the fifth with thumb soreness. Right-hander Kyle Hendricks (1-3, 5.64 ERA) will npw start Monday's game against Padres left-handed rookie MacKenzie Gore (2-0, 1.71). |

05-09-22 | Flames v. Stars +1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -195 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units If the Calgary Flames need a history lesson to remind them their situation isn't hopeless, they must only look at what happened the last time they met the Dallas Stars in the Stanley Cup playoffs. As the Flames prepare for tonight's Game 4 in Dallas, they trail the best-of-seven Western Conference first-round series 2-1. It's the same position the Stars were in two years ago, but Dallas went on to beat Calgary three straight times and advance. It would help if Calgary's offensive attack arrived. Meanwhile, Oettinger has posted a 1.01 goals-against average and .969 save percentage while stopping 93 of 96 shots, all in his first opportunity as a starter in the playoffs. His play is a huge reason the Flames have just one power-play goal in a dozen chances. |
|||||||
05-09-22 | Guardians v. White Sox -176 | 12-9 | Loss | -176 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units How's this for a jolt for the red-hot Chicago White Sox? Third baseman Yoan Moncada is expected to make his season debut tonight as the White Sox aim to stretch their winning streak to seven games when they host the Cleveland Guardians. Moncada hasn't played since Chicago's American League Division Series loss to Houston last year. He suffered a right oblique strain on the last day of spring training and landed on the injured list before excelling during a six-game rehab stint at Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada went 7-for-22 and hit two home runs for the Knights. Guardians right-hander Zach Plesac (1-3, 4.44 ERA) is set to start against White Sox righty Michael Kopech (0-1, 1.17). Kopech, ERA would lead the American League if he had enough innings to qualify. |

05-09-22 | Celtics +1.5 v. Bucks | 116-108 | Win | 100 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Monday's game on the defending NBA champions' home floor is now essentially a must-win for the Celtics, who will host Game 5 on Wednesday night. While no loss is easy to swallow, especially in the playoffs, Boston mounted a late-game surge that could give it some momentum heading into Game 4. After trailing by 13 with 9:48 left to play in the fourth quarter, the Celtics stormed all the way back and eventually went ahead 100-99 after a pair of free throws from Jaylen Brown. Following buckets from Antetokounmpo and Holiday that put the Bucks up by three, Boston's Marcus Smart sank the first of two free throws before intentionally missing the second. Robert Williams and Al Horford each missed put back layups. Consider that the Celtics are 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings including 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Milwaukee. |

05-09-22 | Panthers v. Capitals +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It had been nearly four months since any team had held the Florida Panthers to one or fewer goals. The Washington Capitals, who accomplished that feat on Saturday afternoon, will try again tonight when they host the Panthers in Game 4 of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. Washington leads the best-of-seven series, 2-1, thanks in part to goalie Ilya Samsonov, who has stopped 46 of the 47 shots sent his way in the series. Samsonov played the third period in Thursday's Game 2 loss and got the start in Saturday's 6-1 win, his first-ever playoff victory. The Capitals now need just 14 more victories after holding the Panthers to their fewest goals since a 5-1 loss at Calgary on Jan. 18. Florida had the NHL's best regular-season record. But the Panthers haven't looked consistently sharp against the eighth-seeded Capitals, who still have a core of players remaining from their 2018 Stanley Cup championship team. |

05-09-22 | Rangers v. Penguins OVER 6 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The first-round playoff matchup between the Pittsburgh Penguins and visiting New York Rangers has heated up off the ice going into Game 4 today. But they're not sniping at each other. Rather, both clubs are expressing faith in their own game. Perhaps that is at least partly due to the way the series has arrived at the Penguins leading 2-1 -- a 4-3 triple-overtime Pittsburgh win, a 5-2 Rangers win and Saturday, as the series shifted to Pittsburgh, a 7-4 Penguins win that featured New York erasing a three-goal deficit only to have Pittsburgh seal it with three goals in the third period. Game 4 also is in Pittsburgh. |

05-09-22 | Brewers -151 v. Reds | 5-10 | Loss | -151 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Milwaukee leads the NL Central but is coming off back-to-back losses in Atlanta. The Brewers’ 4.76 runs per game rank second in MLB, but they scored just 2 runs in each of those setbacks against the Braves. The Reds took 2 of 3 from the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend, notching their first series win of 2022. At 3.57 RPG, Cincinnati ranks as a bottom-third offense. The Reds’ 6.39 RPG allowed ranks last. |

05-08-22 | Maple Leafs v. Lightning -115 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs already know how difficult it is to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in back-to-back Stanley Cup playoff games. They will try to accomplish that rare feat when they visit the Lightning in Game 4 of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series tonight. The Lightning are 16-0 in games following a playoff loss over the past three postseasons, a big reason why they've won the past two Stanley Cup titles. Tampa Bay dropped the opener of the best-of-seven series 5-0 at Toronto on Monday, but came back with a 5-3 win in Game 2 on Wednesday. The Maple Leafs moved back ahead 2-1 in the series with a 5-2 victory in Game 3 on Friday night at Tampa. |

05-08-22 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks -143 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Right-hander Zac Gallen, one of three Arizona starters with an ERA of 1.50 or less, will start today against Colorado right-hander German Marquez (0-2, 6.92 ERA) in the rubber match of the three-game series. Gallen (1-0, 1.27) does not qualify to be among the National League ERA leaders because he has pitched 21 1/3 innings in Arizona's 28 games (a pitcher must pitch at least one inning per number of games played by his team to be rated among the leaders). Gallen is 2-1 with a 2.48 ERA in seven career starts against the Rockies. Marquez has faced the Diamondbacks 19 times, including 18 starts, in his career and is 5-5 with a 3.98 ERA. |

05-08-22 | A's v. Twins -173 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As Minnesota surges, Oakland is heading in the opposite direction. The Athletics have lost eight games in a row and are seeking their first win since April 27 against the San Francisco Giants. Twins right-hander Chris Paddack (1-2, 3.15 ERA) is scheduled to make his fifth start of the season. Paddack is looking for back-to-back victories after a strong performance Monday in which he allowed one run on four hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out three. Athletics right-hander Daulton Jefferies (1-4, 4.81 ERA) is set to make his sixth start of the season and the eighth start of his career. The 26-year-old California native, making his first appearance against the Twins, already has set a career high with 24 1/3 innings pitched this season. Jefferies earned a victory in his season debut April 10 against the Philadelphia Phillies but has been tagged with four losses in a row since then. In his most recent outing, he gave up six runs (all earned) on 11 hits in five innings against the Tampa Bay Rays when he walked none and struck out four. |

05-08-22 | Tigers v. Astros -168 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Right-hander Jake Odorizzi (2-2, 4.15 ERA) will start the series finale for the Astros today. His previous outing not only marked his second consecutive quality start, but his 6 2/3 scoreless innings marked his longest appearance with Houston. Odorizzi allowed four hits and one walk with three strikeouts in a 3-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on May 2, on the heels of allowing one run on one hit and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings in a 5-1 victory at Texas. Odorizzi is 6-2 with a 3.35 ERA over 14 career starts against the Tigers. |

05-08-22 | Blue Jays -185 v. Guardians | 3-4 | Loss | -185 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Cleveland Guardians will try to capture their four-game series against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays today, but they know the task will be a tall one. That's because they will be facing one of the top pitchers in the American League this season in right-hander Alek Manoah (4-0, 1.45 ERA). He's tied for the most wins in the majors and has the second-best ERA in the AL. He has a 13-2 record in 25 career starts. The Guardians will recall left-hander Konnor Pilkington (0-0, 0.00) from Triple-A Columbus to make his first major-league start. |
|||||||
05-08-22 | White Sox v. Red Sox -145 | 3-2 | Loss | -145 | 2 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Michael Wacha (3-0, 1.38 ERA) will look to continue Boston's recent trend of starting pitchers allowing two or fewer runs in 13 of the last 15 games. Wacha dealt 5 2/3 shutout innings Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Just one baserunner reached scoring position against Wacha, who retired 15 of the 20 total batters he faced. The right-hander hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his five starts, the last three of which he has won. For the season, his .148 opponent's batting average is the lowest in the American League. Dallas Keuchel (1-3, 8.40) will get the ball despite struggling mightily with command in recent starts. Last Sunday against the Angels, the big southpaw allowed four earned runs on six hits and five walks. It was his second straight start with five free passes and his third consecutive loss. Following his last outing, Keuchel had allowed more hits (24) and earned runs (14) than any White Sox starter. |

05-07-22 | Flames v. Stars +1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Heading into today's Game 3 at Dallas, the Flames are well aware of the parallels between their recent playoff failures, especially after a 2-0 defeat to the Stars on Thursday that has the best-of-seven series tied 1-1. The Flames won their opening playoff game in the first round in both 2019 and 2020, but lost both second games on the way to being eliminated. The Flames, who won the opener 1-0 against the Stars on Tuesday, are getting placed under the microscope. Despite being one of the highest-scoring teams in the league, an early Game 1 power-play goal by Elias Lindholm in the opener is their only score, despite holding a significant edge in shots. A big factor in Calgary's offensive struggles has been Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger, who has risen to the occasion in his first two NHL playoff starts. Oettinger has stopped 54 of 55 shots and has a shutout streak of 114 minutes, 59 seconds. |

05-07-22 | Brewers -102 v. Braves | 2-3 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The red-hot Brewers, who have won nine of their past 10 games, prevailed 6-3 in the series opener on Friday. Milwaukee has won 18 of its past 23. Milwaukee's Corbin Burnes (1-1, 1.93) will be matched against Atlanta's Max Fried (3-2, 3.00) in the series that matches two teams that met in the 2021 National League Division Series. Burnes, who led the major leagues with a 2.43 ERA a year ago, has picked up where he left off. The right-hander will be making his sixth start and leads the league with 43 strikeouts in 32 2/3 innings. He had 234 strikeouts in 2022. Burnes worked seven innings and allowed two runs with 10 strikeouts and one walk against the Chicago Cubs in a 2-0 loss on May 1. It was his third straight start with at least 10 strikeouts, allowing him to join Yovani Gallardo as the franchise's only players to accomplish that feat. |
|||||||
05-07-22 | Rangers -110 v. Penguins | 4-7 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rangers have been doing their part on special teams. New York is 2-for-5 on its power play, plus a short-handed goal, while Pittsburgh's power play is 1-for-6. In addition, New York has scored first in each of the first two games, and the Penguins have not led at any point outside of Tuesday's winning goal. The Penguins went into the series without No. 1 goaltender Tristan Jarry and second-line winger Jason Zucker, both with lower-body injuries. Over the first two games, they have lost No. 2 goaltender Casey DeSmith (abdomen), top-pairing defenseman Brian Dumoulin (lower body) and second-line winger Rickard Rakell (upper body). |
|||||||
05-07-22 | Tigers v. Astros -180 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (0-2, 5.33) is the scheduled starter for the Tigers today. He allowed six runs (including a season-high four earned runs) on eight hits with five strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in his previous start, a 6-3 road loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 1. Rodriguez has recorded fewer than three earned runs once in his five starts this season, his first with the Tigers. He is 1-3 with an 8.53 ERA over six career starts against the Astros. |
|||||||
05-07-22 | Celtics +2 v. Bucks | 101-103 | Push | 0 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Boston can now take its first advantage of the series and will have the chance to do so with its best defender returning to the lineup. Marcus Smart, the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, is expected to be back for Game 3. Smart was out Tuesday with a thigh contusion after finishing with 10 points and six assists in a 101-89 Game 1 loss. Derrick White started for Smart in Game 2 but was held scoreless through 28 minutes. Despite the 6-foot-4 guard's scoring woes, the Celtics were 22 points better than the Bucks when White was on the floor. While Boston is looking to ride its momentum, the Bucks are looking to find the cracks in a defense that held them to their season low in points during Game 2. Milwaukee shot just 16.7 percent from 3-point range (3 of 18) and committed 16 turnovers, which translated to 24 Boston points. Giannis Antetokounmpo got off to a slow start with just five points on 2-of-12 shooting in the first half. Antetokounmpo said that the level of physicality the Celtics have brought in the series is something he is used to, but it has made it harder to distribute. |

05-07-22 | Dodgers -215 v. Cubs | 7-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Los Angeles' Clayton Kershaw (3-0, 2.35 ERA) is expected to stay on schedule for Game 1 of the doubleheader this afternoon. The star left-hander has allowed one or no runs in three of his four starts, including on April 30, when he gave up one and four hits in six innings vs. Detroit. Kershaw also struck out seven, leaving him with 2,700 for his career and breaking Don Sutton's franchise record. Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly (1-2, 2.79 ERA), is scheduled to come off the bereavement list to start Game 1. Smyly threw 9 2/3 scoreless innings in his first two starts, but he yielded runs six over 9 2/3 innings while losing his past two outings. Over his career, Smyly is 0-1 with an ERA of 4.24 in five appearances, three of them starts, against the Dodgers. |

05-07-22 | Panthers v. Capitals +1.5 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 1 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Florida Panthers lacked focus in Game 1, while the Washington Capitals did not execute to their standards in Game 2. The result: The squads are tied 1-1 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round playoff series, with the scene shifting to Washington, D.C., on Saturday afternoon for Game 3. A key issue for the Capitals was the absence of forward Tom Wilson in Game 2 due to a lower-body injury. His status for Saturday is undetermined. The Capitals won the opener of the series 4-2 before losing 5-1 on Thursday and yet do not appear to truly have gotten on track. Washington's Alex Ovechkin, one of the most prolific scores in NHL history, has no goals with two assists in the two games. Ovechkin has been active, however, with nine shots on goal and 10 hits. |
|||||||
05-06-22 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks -141 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Diamondbacks enter the weekend series still buzzing about the events of their sweep-clinching, 8-7 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.The Diamondbacks, who relied on their bullpen for the win, have one of the best rotations in baseball with Bumgarner (1-1, 1.50 ERA), Zac Gallen (1-0, 1.27) and Merrill Kelly (2-1, 1.27) with ERAs under 2.00 in a combined 73 1/3 innings pitched. Friday's matchup between Kelly and fellow right-hander Chad Kuhl (3-0, 1.90) has the makings of a pitchers' duel. Kelly, making his sixth start of the season, is limiting opponents to a .208 batting average. Kuhl's lifetime numbers against the Diamondbacks are ugly, going 0-1 with an 11.25 ERA in three appearances (two starts). |
|||||||
05-06-22 | Rays v. Mariners -124 | 8-7 | Loss | -124 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Seattle Mariners will send out their hottest arm Friday night when they attempt to end a four-game losing streak as they oppose the visiting Tampa Bay Rays today. Early season sensation Logan Gilbert gets the call for the Mariners, who dropped a 4-3 decision in the series opener on Thursday. A former first-round pick, Gilbert -- who turned 25 Thursday -- is pitching more like a cagey veteran than a hurler trying to find his way through his sophomore campaign in the majors. After posting a 23-3 record in three years at Stetson University -- the central Florida school that produced Cy Young Award winners Jacob deGrom and Corey Kluber -- the Mariners took the Winter Park, Fla., native with the 14th pick in 2018. He has delivered top-of-the-rotation offerings so far. Gilbert (4-0, 0.64 ERA) made four starts in a dominating April, which included victories over reigning division champions Tampa Bay and the Chicago White Sox. That showing earned him the American League Pitcher of the Month Award for April. |
|||||||
05-06-22 | A's v. Twins -161 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Twins right-hander Josh Winder (1-0, 2.20 ERA) will make the fifth appearance and second start of his rookie campaign. The 25-year-old from Virginia Military Institute made his starting debut Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays and earned his first career victory by allowing no runs on two hits in six innings. He has walked four and struck out 12 in 16 1/3 innings this season. Friday would have been left-hander Cole Irvin's turn in the Athletics' rotation, but he was placed on the injured list Thursday because of shoulder soreness. Irvin (2-1, 2.93 ERA) is expected to be sidelined until at least late May. Oakland had not announced a starter in Irvin's place, but rookie left-hander Zach Logue is a possible choice. If Logue gets the call, it would be his second game overall and the first start of his career. |
|||||||
05-06-22 | Brewers -103 v. Braves | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Milwaukee will send left-hander Eric Lauer (2-0, 1.93 ERA) to the mound in the first game. Lauer will be making his fifth start of the season. In his last outing, against the Chicago Cubs on April 30, he allowed only one run over seven innings, with 11 strikeouts and one walk. He joined Teddy Higuera (1988) as the club's only left-handed pitcher to have consecutive 10-strikeout games. Lauer fanned 13 in six innings against Philadelphia on April 24. Lauer made one regular-season appearance against the Braves last season and received a no-decision after allowing three runs in three innings in the Brewers' 6-3 loss. He also faced Atlanta in Game 4 of the NLDS and allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings of a 5-4 loss. The Braves could start Kyle Muller, who started on Sunday in the series finale against Texas, or they could recall another pitcher from the minor leagues or go with Spencer Strider, the hard-throwing rookie. Strider has pitched three-plus innings in three of his five relief appearances and could serve as an opener. |

05-06-22 | Heat -135 v. 76ers | 79-99 | Loss | -135 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating:Â 2 Units The 76ers are back home and desperate for a turnaround in Philadelphia. Any rally from a 2-0 series deficit must happen without MVP candidate Joel Embiid. With the Miami Heat in control of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals, Philadelphia officially ruled out Embiid with myriad battle wounds from the 76ers' first-round series win over Toronto. The Sixers practiced on Thursday before the verdict came later in the night: Embiid is a no-go. "They're coming home. Obviously, they are in an 0-2 hole, so I do expect him to play," Heat forward Bam Adebayo said before the injury report was released. Sixers coach Doc Rivers had "no update" to Embiid's status on Thursday and had only seen his franchise centerpiece via FaceTime in recent days. Rivers said Embiid is still in concussion protocol, but has "hurdles to clear" with his other injuries as well. Embiid has an orbital fracture and a torn ligament in his thumb. His return, even at less than full strength, might put a spring in Philly's step. But that bounce will not come until at least Game 4, putting the onus on the rest of the usual supporting cast to play starring role without the All-Star in the middle. |

05-06-22 | Hurricanes +1.5 v. Bruins | 2-4 | Loss | -225 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Regardless of where the games take place, the Carolina Hurricanes have delivered dominating efforts against the Boston Bruins all season. Entering tonight's Game 3 of an Eastern Conference first-round series, Carolina has won all five regular-season and playoff meetings between the teams by a combined 26-4 score. The Hurricanes took command of the series with a 2-0 lead after Wednesday's 5-2 win in which they had three 5-on-3 advantages and scored two power-play goals. |
|||||||
05-05-22 | Tigers v. Astros -141 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston heads to the extended weekend series against the Tigers after sweeping Seattle at home. The Astros won 7-2 on Wednesday behind sterling pitching from former Detroit star Justin Verlander and three hits and three RBIs from Alex Bregman. Astros pitching did not allow a Seattle runner to reach third base in the first two games of the series, when the Mariners were shut out 3-0 and 4-0, respectively. A Eugenio Suarez home run in the seventh inning off Verlander on Wednesday marked the first time in the series that Seattle had a runner reach third base and ended a 26 1/3-inning scoreless streak for Astros pitching. Houston pitching allowed two runs on just 14 hits -- 13 of them singles -- in the three-game set. The Astros' starting pitching, led by Verlander, is 7-2 with a 2.25 ERA in its last nine games, including seven quality starts. |
|||||||
05-05-22 | Mets +150 v. Phillies | 8-7 | Win | 150 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Phillies will hand the ball to right-hander Aaron Nola (1-3, 3.90 ERA). Nola holds a 9-5 record with a 3.32 ERA in 22 career starts against the Mets. In Nola's last start, last Friday against the Mets, he tossed six innings and gave up seven hits and three runs to go with nine strikeouts and no walks. The Mets combined for a no-hitter in that game. The Phillies are 2-4 against the Mets this season. After a solid start, the Mets produced a rare flat effort in a 9-2 loss Wednesday to the Atlanta Braves. The Mets had won their first seven series before splitting four games with the Braves. |

05-05-22 | Nationals v. Rockies -130 | 7-9 | Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nationals won the first game of the series, 10-2 on Tuesday night, and Colorado bounced back with a 5-2 win on Wednesday night. For the rubber game, Washington will send Aaron Sanchez (1-1, 6.75 ERA) against Antonio Senzatela (2-1, 3.66) in a matchup of righties. Sanchez is looking for his first win of the season in a ballpark where he has pitched well in the past. Overall he is 1-1 with 4.37 ERA against the Rockies in four starts over his career, with three of those starts and both decisions coming at Coors Field. He has a 4.50 ERA in Denver. |
|||||||
05-05-22 | Reds v. Brewers -220 | 5-10 | Win | 100 | 3 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houser (2-2, 2.53 ERA) will be opposed by Cincinnati's hard-throwing rookie right-hander Hunter Greene (1-3, 6.00 ERA). Struggling might be an understatement to describe the Reds, who have lost 19 of their last 20 games to drop to 3-21, the worst start in club history. Cincinnati has lost 12 straight road games for the first time since 1945. The Brewers pounded out an 18-4 victory over the Reds on Wednesday night behind a franchise-record eight RBIs from Rowdy Tellez, who had a grand slam, a two-run homer and a two-run double, along with a single. Milwaukee has won 13 of its last 16. |

Rating: 2 Units The hardware collected by Edmonton Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl the past several years would require a mammoth trophy case. As the Oilers prepare to host the Los Angeles Kings today to kick off the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, that dynamic duo is well aware that the time has come to lead the squad to more team success. Despite all achieved by McDavid, who is in his seventh NHL season, and Draisaitl, in his eighth campaign, they have won just one playoff series -- in 2017. The Oilers have been knocked out in their first series in each of the past two years. Consider that the Home team is 20-8 in the last 28 meetings. While Oilers netminder Mike Smith has won nine straight starts. |

05-02-22 | Rays -155 v. A's | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Tampa Bay's starter will be right-hander Drew Rasmussen (1-1, 3.50 ERA), who is looking to build on an impressive outing against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Rasmussen, 26, recorded a career-high nine strikeouts while yielding two hits and one walk over six shutout innings in the Rays' 3-2 win. The Washington state native, who threw a season-high 84 pitches in the victory, is set to make his first appearance against Oakland. The Athletics will counter with right-hander Daulton Jefferies (1-3, 3.26 ERA). He has lost his past three starts. Jefferies, 26, allowed five runs on four hits over four innings in an 8-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. |

05-02-22 | Blues +115 v. Wild | 4-0 | Win | 115 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units St. Louis is expected to have center Brayden Schenn back in the lineup after he missed the past four games with an upper-body injury. Schenn was limited to 62 games this season, but still managed 24 goals and 58 points. Berube and Minnesota coach Dean Evason did not reveal their starting goalies for Game 1. Minnesota is likely to go with veteran Marc-Andre Fleury, who started four of the last five games for the Wild. Fleury was 9-2-0 with a 2.74 goals-against average and .910 save percentage in 11 starts following his trade from the Chicago Blackhawks in March. The Blues are expected to start Ville Husso, who went 9-0-2 over an 11-game stretch before losing the regular-season finale against the Vegas Golden Knights.  Consider that the Blues are 13-3 in the last 16 meetings including 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Minnesota. |

05-02-22 | Braves v. Mets -103 | 5-2 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Left-hander Max Fried (2-2, 3.00 ERA) is scheduled to start for Atlanta against New York right-hander Chris Bassitt (3-1, 2.25 ERA). The Braves are continuing a seven-game road trip after falling 7-3 on Sunday afternoon in the rubber game of a three-game series against the Texas Rangers 7-3. The Mets extended their franchise-record, season-opening streak of series wins to seven by beating the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 10-6 on Sunday night. At 16-7, New York is already close to tying last season's high mark of 11 games over .500. And the seven straight series wins have come with an impressive totality and a bit of an edge from the Mets, who lead the majors in being hit by pitches and had a benches-clearing fracas with the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. The Mets rank first in the majors in on-base percentage (.344), second in batting average (.262) and third in ERA (2.99). |

05-02-22 | Twins -137 v. Orioles | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Minnesota has scored nine runs in back-to-back games. The Twins have six games of eight or more runs less than a month into the season. Baltimore will go with Tyler Wells (0-2, 5.54 ERA) to start the series opener. The Orioles have lost each of Wells' four starts so far this season. Twins starter Chris Paddock (0-2, 3.68 ERA) should be well rested on Monday, as he will pitch for the first time since working 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. He has recorded 13 strikeouts and one walk over 14 2/3 innings in his first three starts. |

05-02-22 | Royals v. Cardinals -154 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kansas City will start veteran right-hander Zack Greinke (0-1, 2.86 ERA) on Monday against St. Louis left-hander Steven Matz (2-1, 6.11). Matz has pitched one game in his career against Kansas City -- a 5-1 win last season when he was with the Toronto Blue Jays. He had a no-hitter into the sixth inning and won the game allowing just two hits and one earned run in six innings. Royals catcher Cam Gallagher suffered a strained hamstring in Kansas City's 6-4 loss to the Yankees and was placed on the disabled list. He was put on the injured list and M.J. Melendez will be called up from Triple-A Omaha to replace him. |

05-01-22 | Phillies v. Mets -166 | 6-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Phillies will look to hand the Mets that first series defeat tonight when they visit New York in the finale of a three-game set between the National League East rivals. Zach Eflin (1-1, 3.20 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Phillies against the Mets' Max Scherzer (3-0, 1.80) in a battle of right-handers. Eflin earned his first win of the season on Tuesday, when he allowed one run over six innings as the Phillies cruised to a 10-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. Scherzer didn't factor into the decision last Monday night, when he allowed just two hits and struck out 10 over seven scoreless innings in the Mets' 5-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was the 106th time Scherzer has struck out at least 10 batters in a game, the fifth-most in the modern era. Eflin is 3-4 with a 4.70 ERA in 13 starts against the Mets. Scherzer is 15-4 with a 2.47 ERA in 26 career starts against the Phillies. |

05-01-22 | Warriors -130 v. Grizzlies | 117-116 | Win | 100 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden State Warriors are looking to re-create their postseason magic, which included five consecutive NBA Finals appearances from 2015 to 2019. The Memphis Grizzlies are new to the scene, coming off their first playoff series win in seven years. The second-seeded Grizzlies and third-seeded Warriors will showcase youthful energy versus veteran experience when the teams tip off in Game 1 of their best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series Sunday in Memphis. Golden State is coming off a 4-1 series win over the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. The Warriors won all three games on their home court and split a pair of games on the road. Stephen Curry is averaging 28.0 points in five games during the postseason. He is shooting 50 percent (46 of 92) from the field and 40.4 percent (19 of 47) from beyond the arc. The series will pit Warriors head coach Steve Kerr against Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins. Kerr has an 81-29 career record in the playoffs with three NBA championships, while Jenkins is 5-6 in the postseason. |

05-01-22 | Reds v. Rockies -145 | 1-10 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rockies have won the first two games of their series with the Cincinnati Reds and will go for the sweep when the teams play today in Denver. Colorado won the first two games, 10-4 Friday night and 4-3 Saturday night. The game will feature two left-handed starters looking for their first win of the season. The Rockies will send Kyle Freeland (0-3, 6.16 ERA) against Reiver Sanmartin (0-3, 10.91). Freeland has struggled to find his stride this season. He was the team's starter on Opening Day but hasn't pitched like the ace. However, he can take some comfort in the fact that the other season he started 0-3 was 2018, when he won 17 games and finished fourth in the NL Cy Young Award voting.

05-01-22 | Angels v. White Sox +105 | 6-5 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With Mike Trout in center field and Taylor Ward winning the every-day spot in right field with his sizzling bat, Adell and Brandon Marsh find themselves in a platoon situation in left field, with the right-handed hitting Adell getting starts against lefties. The White Sox will throw left-hander Dallas Keuchel (1-2, 9.00 ERA) against Angels right-hander Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 2.93) today. Adell, though, actually has had more success against right-handers, both in his career and this season. He's hitting .290 against right-handers this season, and just .158 vs. lefties. For his career, he's hitting .217 vs. righties, .202 vs. lefties. Lorenzen has no decisions with a 3.86 ERA in five career games (two starts) vs. the White Sox. Keuchel has had success against the Angels, going 12-2 with a 3.52 ERA in 20 career games (19 starts). |

05-01-22 | Mariners +117 v. Marlins | 7-3 | Win | 117 | 2 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Seattle Mariners and the host Miami Marlins saved the best pitching matchup for last. When the teams close their three-game series today afternoon, the Marlins will start right-hander Sandy Alcantara (2-0, 1.78 ERA). Seattle will counter with right-hander Logan Gilbert (3-0, 0.40), who leads the American League in ERA. Gilbert, who has yet to face Miami, has actually been better on the road (3.82 ERA in 14 starts). He has a 4.18 home ERA, also in 14 starts. This will be a homecoming for Gilbert, a native Floridian (Winter Park) who played his college ball in this state at Stetson, alma mater of Jacob deGrom. Gilbert has two previous major league starts in Florida, going 1-1 with a 2.53 ERA at Tampa Bay's Tropicana Field. This year, Gilbert will enter Sunday's game on a streak of 17 1/3 scoreless innings. One key has been the increased velocity of his slider, from 83 mph to 86. |
