04-28-17 | Pirates +101 v. Marlins | 12-2 | Win | 101 | 4 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Marlins (10-10) were swept in a rain-shortened two-game series at Philadelphia to finish out a 3-5 road trip and are being overwhelmed by rumors that a group fronted by future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush are in line to buy the franchise. The Marlins will try to get back into the win column behind left-hander Adam Conley while the Pirates counter with righty Jameson Taillon today. |

Rating: 2 Units Gausman's season has taken a turn for the worse with back-to-back rough outings, as the 26-year-old surrendered eight runs on as many hits over 2 2/3 innings of 9-3 setback at Cincinnati on April 18 before getting ravaged by Boston in a four-run first inning on Sunday. Gausman yielded three homers against the Red Sox and four over his last two games after keeping the ball in the park in his first three contests.

Rating: 2 Units Fiers is searching for his first win and allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings at Tampa Bay on Friday without factoring in the decision. The 31-year-old was bailed out by the offense in his previous start as well. Kluber got off to a rough start with a 6.38 ERA after his first three turns but got back to his Cy Young form at the Chicago White Sox on Friday.

Rating: 2 Units Lester surrendered five runs on a season-high nine hits over 5 2/3 innings at Cincinnati in his last outing. He permitted two runs on 14 hits over his first three starts but Chicago scored seven runs in that span. The 33-year-old Lester was 2-1 with a 3.80 ERA in four starts against Pittsburgh last season. Pittsburgh starter, Glasnow will be making his 11th career appearance and eighth start in his search to notch his first major league win.

Glasnow has yet to pitch beyond 5 1/3 innings in his career. |

Rating: 2 Units Duffy will be looking to end Kansas City's five-game losing streak as well as stifle a Chicago attack that registered 15 hits and went 7-for-12 with runners in scoring position while steamrolling the Royals 12-1 in Monday's series opener. Matt Davidson went 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs while Tim Anderson (three runs scored) and Leury Garcia (two runs) also had three hits apiece. |

Detroit (10-8), which shares first place in the Central Division with defending American League champion Cleveland, prevailed 13-4 on Sunday with the help of newcomers John Hicks and Jim Adduci, who replaced Miguel Cabrera (groin) and JaCoby Jones (face) in the lineup.

The 32-year St. Louis native yielded three earned runs over 12 2/3 innings in his first two starts of the campaign and has yet to surrender a home run in three outings.

|||||||
04-23-17 | Tigers +106 v. Twins | 13-4 | Win | 106 | 4 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit starter, Fulmer has shown no signs of a sophomore slump by producing three straight quality starts out of the gate, including six solid innings against Minnesota on April 12. He let up three runs in six frames at Tampa Bay on Tuesday but wound up on the wrong end of a 5-1 score. The 24-year-old won his only prior start at Target Field and is 2-0 in two career meetings with the Twins. Minnsota starter, Gibson had his longest start of the young season with 5 1/3 innings against Cleveland his last time out, giving up three runs on nine hits and two walks with two strikeouts.

|||||||
04-22-17 | Royals v. Rangers +103 | 1-2 | Win | 103 | 1 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Martinez is expected to make his season debut in place of A.J. Griffin, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday with gout in his left ankle. The Fordham product gave up five runs over four frames in his most recent start for Triple-A Round Rock on Monday after tossing five scoreless innings in his 2017 debut for the Express. Martinez settled for a no-decision in his only turn against the Royals in 2015, allowing four runs - three earned - over 6 1/3 innings. The Royals (.211) own one of the worst team batting averages in the AL |
|||||||
04-22-17 | Astros v. Rays +105 | 3-6 | Win | 105 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Morton missed most of last season with a torn hamstring, gave up five runs over 11 innings in his first two starts with the Astros after signing a two-year deal.

|||||||
04-18-17 | Rangers -125 v. A's | 2-4 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units One day after the Texas Rangers ended their three-game losing streak, the Oakland Athletics will attempt to halt their four-game slide when they host the middle contest of their three-game series on Tuesday. Oakland had a chance to regroup when its game against Houston on Sunday was rained out, but it managed only three hits in suffering a 7-0 loss in the opener. Trevor Plouffe recorded one of the hits for the Athletics to stretch his hitting streak to five games, but he'll need to extend it in order to raise his disappointing .214 average. Texas registered only seven hits in Monday's victory but also drew seven walks en route to improving to 3-4 on its nine-game road trip. Nomar Mazara has enjoyed life on the road thus far this season, as he has hit safely in six of the first seven games on the Rangers' trek. The 21-year-old Dominican went 2-for-4 and drove in three runs in the opener, giving him seven RBIs on the trip. |
|||||||
04-18-17 | Pirates v. Cardinals -130 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Cardinals hope they have begun to put their early-season troubles behind them as they attempt to knock off the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates for the second straight night on Tuesday. The Cardinals posted a 2-1 triumph in the opener of the three-game set on Monday to improve their National League-worst record to 4-9. St Louis' chances of beating the Pirates again are bolstered with Mike Leake taking the mound. Leake has started strong, allowing one run and 10 hits over 15 innings while splitting his first two decisions. Pittsburgh managed just five hits in Monday's loss after scoring 18 runs in a three-game weekend road sweep of the Chicago Cubs. Andrew McCutchen is riding an eight-game hitting streak as he continues to overcome an icy start. |
|||||||
04-18-17 | Angels v. Astros -140 | 5-2 | Loss | -140 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Angels are struggling to score runs as they endure a six-game losing streak. The Angels will try to snap out of the funk and even the four-game series at one win apiece when they visit the Houston Astros today. Los Angeles failed to score more than three runs in any of the last six games and was shut out in the last two, including a 3-0 setback in the series opener on Monday. The Angels managed five hits on Monday, two of which came from reigning MVP Mike Trout, who was the only player in the starting lineup with a batting average over .286. The Astros are streaking in the other direction with wins in five straight behind an offense averaging 7.4 runs in that span. Second baseman Jose Altuve is leading the charge and is 10-for-18 with seven runs scored, four RBIs and four stolen bases in the last five contests. |
|||||||
04-18-17 | Brewers +152 v. Cubs | 7-9 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The cold April wind at Wrigley Field hasn’t slowed down the Milwaukee Brewers’ powerful offense. The Brewers clubbed three home runs in winning the opener of their three-game series against the host Chicago Cubs, which continues today. The Cubs have lost four straight – all at home – which is one shy of matching their longest skid during last year’s World Series campaign. It also is their longest losing streak at home since 2014. Former Korean Baseball Organization star Eric Thames continues to power the Brewers’ offense, as he has gone deep six times during a five-game home run streak. Ryan Braun and Jett Bandy also belted shots on Monday for Milwaukee, which has hit a major league-leading 25 home runs in 14 contests. |
|||||||
04-17-17 | Diamondbacks +144 v. Dodgers | 4-2 | Win | 144 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ray worked in and out of trouble Tuesday against San Francisco and earned the win after tossing 6 2/3 scoreless innings with five walks and eight strikeouts. The 25-year-old continues to struggle with his control with eight walks in his first two starts covering 12 1/3 innings. Yasiel Puig is 5-for-14 with a home run against Ray, who is 3-3 with a 2.96 ERA in eight career starts against the Dodgers, including 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA in four outings last season. |
|||||||
04-17-17 | Indians -143 v. Twins | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Gibson has yet to find his top form while allowing eight runs on nine hits - including three home runs - over nine innings with seven strikeouts and three walks to start the season after struggling in 2016 with a 6-11 record and 5.07 ERA. The 29-year-old Indiana native went 1-8 with a 5.21 ERA at home last season and was 5-3 with a 4.92 mark on the road. Yan Gomes is 7-for-16 with a pair of homers against Gibson, who was 0-1 with an 8.44 ERA in two starts versus Cleveland last year. |
|||||||
04-17-17 | Pirates v. Cardinals -128 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Lynn was solid in his season debut as he limited the Cubs to two runs over 5 1/3 frames after missing 2016 due to Tommy John surgery. Josh Harrison is 8-for-22 with a homer against Lynn. St. Louis 3B Matt Carpenter batted .304 with four homers and 14 RBIs against Pittsburgh in 2016. |
|||||||
04-16-17 | Rangers -107 v. Mariners | Top | 7-8 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 41 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit MLB Play of the Day This is a great price on Cole Hamels. The Rangers' lefty ace was actually in a similar range against both the Indians and Angels, but considering how Seattle has played, this spot looks like a bargain. Yes, Hamels has an 0-2 TSR, but he didn't factor into the decision either time. It had been an ugly 2-8 start for Seattle before taking the first two games of this series. They've held Texas to just one run and it was a 5-0 shutout yesterday. However, the Mariners are only 7-14 the L3 seasons following a shutout victory. While Texas is 13-6 after getting shutout, over the L3 seasons. |
|||||||
04-16-17 | Pirates +162 v. Cubs | 6-1 | Win | 162 | 3 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pirates prevailed in the first two games of this NL Central rivalry, and they are poised for a sweep at Wrigley Field with a victory today. James Taillon was a money-maker for the Bucs in 2016 (+$605, 3.50 ERA in 19 starts) and he has looked sharp in his first two outings this season (1.38 ERA). The Pirate racked up huge profits vs. lefties last year (20-9, +$1495, 5.7 runs per game on offense) while Chicago lost money in day games (-$735 overall). Inflated price on Jon Lester makes the road underdog is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
04-16-17 | Angels v. Royals +105 | 0-1 | Win | 105 | 2 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After going 1-1 with a 2.64 ERA in his final three turns of last season, Skaggs has struggled mightily in 2017, giving up a total of 10 runs - and three homers - over 11 1/3 innings in his first two outings. The 25-year-old escaped with a no-decision versus Texas at home on Tuesday after surrendering five runs on eight hits - two blasts - and two walks in five frames. |
|||||||
04-16-17 | Rays v. Red Sox -150 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 1 h 21 m | Show | |

He has 77 strikeouts in 74 2/3 innings as a member of the Red Sox but a 5.21 ERA in his career at Fenway Park, spanning 11 games (seven starts). Brad Miller is 6-for-13 with a home run against the 28-year-old Pomeranz, who has a 2.31 ERA in his career against Tampa Bay after three encounters late last season. |
|||||||
04-16-17 | Brewers v. Reds -105 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -105 | 1 h 47 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit National League Play of the Day Romano has earned the chance to make his big-league debut after an excellent spring and two strong starts for Triple-A Louisville. The 23-year-old has posted a 1.38 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in his first two starts in the minors this season. Romano is starting in place of fellow rookie Rookie Davis, who is on the 10-day disabled list after being hit by a pitch on the forearm Tuesday at Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
04-16-17 | Orioles v. Blue Jays -102 | 11-4 | Loss | -102 | 1 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Happ has yet to find the top form that led to a career-high 20 wins last year, but held the Orioles to three runs on five hits with nine strikeouts over seven innings on April 5 in a 3-1 loss. The 34-year-old Northwestern product has struck out 17 without a walk over the first 11 2/3 innings of 2017. Happ, was 11-2 at home and 2-0 versus Baltimore in 2016. |
|||||||
04-15-17 | Angels v. Royals +107 | 2-3 | Win | 107 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units LAA starter Shoemaker endured his roughest outing in almost a year but escaped with a no-decision Sunday against Seattle after giving up seven runs - six earned - on five hits and a pair of walks over 4 1/3 innings. The Michigan native struggled mightily in April last year as well (1-4, 9.11 ERA) before posting a 3.10 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 22 turns after May 11 following a brief demotion. Shoemaker fell to 0-3 with an 11.34 ERA in four starts against the Royals last year after yielding five runs over six frames in a loss on July 27. |
|||||||
04-15-17 | Tigers +140 v. Indians | 6-13 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Detroit Tigers are in position to win their third straight series and two-time American League MVP Miguel Cabrera is starting to warm up as they visit the Cleveland Indians for the second of a three-game set today. Cabrera homered for the second straight game Friday as the Tigers built a big lead before holding off a furious rally for a 7-6 victory - their seventh in the first 10 games of the season. Detroit starter Verlander picked up where he left off last season by limiting his first two opponents (Boston and the Chicago White Sox) to three runs (two earned) on nine hits over 13 1/3 innings. The 34-year-old former MVP, who owns 174 career wins after going 16-9 in 2016 with a 3.04 ERA, has 14 strikeouts and two walks in the early going. |
|||||||
04-15-17 | Astros -145 v. A's | 10-6 | Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston starter, McCullers settled for a no-decision against Kansas City on Sunday after allowing three runs and six hits in seven innings. The 23-year-old Floridian did not walk a batter and reached double digits in strikeouts for the seventh time in his brief career, falling one short of his personal best of 11 set on June 3, 2015 versus Baltimore. McCullers has made three career starts against Oakland, going 1-1 with a 3.45 ERA. Oakland starter, Manaea also recorded 10 strikeouts in his last outing but suffered the loss as he surrendered six runs - five earned - on three hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings at Texas on Sunday. |

Rating: 3 Units MLB Play of the Day St. Louis will try to turn a corner behind Opening Day starter Carlos Martinez, who opposes Yankees southpaw CC Sabathia. Â Martinez had an impressive debut. He has walked just one batter in 12 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old has two scoreless innings of relief in his career against the Yankees, but has seen plenty of Castro (1-for-11 against Martinez). |
|||||||
04-14-17 | Rangers v. Mariners -140 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
Rating: 2 Units Texas starter Perez continued to struggle with his control Sunday against Oakland as he issued three more walks to give him seven in 11 1/3 innings, but he worked around six hits to toss 5 1/3 scoreless frames en route to a win. The 26-year-old will pitch on the road for the first time in 2017 hoping to forget about last season's woes away from home (2-8, 5.78 ERA). |

04-14-17 | White Sox v. Twins -150 | 2-1 | Loss | -150 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Covey was picked 14th overall by Milwaukee in the 2010 draft, but went to the University of San Diego instead before being picked by Oakland in the fourth round in 2013. The White Sox acquired the 25-year-old Californian in the Rule 5 Draft last December after he went 4-0 in the Arizona Fall League. Covey was 2-1 with a 1.84 ERA in Double-A with Oakland last season but has had trouble this spring while recording a 7.82 ERA in 12 2/3 innings of work. |

The 28-year-old went 5-0 with a 3.07 ERA in six starts against Tampa Bay last year and has a 3.03 mark in 17 career matchups. Porcello will be mindful of Corey Dickerson (7-for-19, one homer against him) and Logan Morrison (8-for-22) as he looks to improve upon a 21-9 career mark at Fenway. Tampa Bay starter  Archer, is 1-11 lifetime against Boston and has a 7.30 ERA in five Fenway Park starts. |
|||||||
04-14-17 | Orioles v. Blue Jays -139 | 6-4 | Loss | -139 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |

|||||||
04-14-17 | Cardinals +126 v. Yankees | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Cards have gotten off to a lackluster start in 2017, but they look like a live underdog in tonight's series opener. Masahiro Tanaka has struggled in his first two outings (-$215, 11.75 ERA) and he'll be taking on a St. Louis squad that dominated right-handed starters on the road last year (35-23, +$1540). Michael Wacha looked sharp in his season debut (1.50 ERA), so I'll stick with the visitor in tonight's game. |

04-13-17 | Rockies v. Giants -155 | 3-1 | Loss | -155 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bumgarner has been as good as advertised through his first two starts but was the hard-luck loser on Saturday, when he allowed two runs over eight frames in a 2-1 setback against San Diego. The four-time All-Star belted two home runs on Opening Day and has hit 13 in his last 202 at-bats. Gonzalez is 18-for-56 with five homers and 10 RBIs against Bumgarner, who is 12-6 with a 2.99 ERA in 25 career starts against the Rockies - including 1-0 with a 1.40 ERA in three outings last year. |

|||||||
04-13-17 | Rays v. Yankees -138 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Andriese needs to put together a few strong performances to keep his hold of the No. 5 starter role after allowing five runs (four earned) and seven hits against Toronto last Friday. The 27-year-old California native went 2-6 with a 6.03 ERA after the All-Star break last season and may end up in the bullpen if he cannot show some progress soon. Judge (3-for-4, homer) and Headley (3-for-9, two homers) have caused trouble for Andriese, who was 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA versus New York last year. |

Rating: 2 Units Lackey gave up three runs in the first inning of his season debut at St. Louis, but he settled in and pitched well the rest of the way to earn the win. The 38-year-old was charged with four runs (three earned) over six innings and struck out seven.

Rating: 2 Units Hammel made a decent debut for his sixth team at Minnesota on Thursday in a no-decision, allowing three runs and six hits over five innings, but four walks bumped his pitch count up to 95. The 34-year-old South Carolina native won a career-high 15 games with the World Champion Chicago Cubs last year and is 21-10 in the month of April in his 12 major league seasons.

Rating: 2 Units Samardzija is facing Arizona for the second time in less than a week after allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks in 5 1/3 innings in last Thursday’s 9-3 loss. The 32-year-old is 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 13 career games (eight starts) against the Diamondbacks, including 2-0 with a 2.91 ERA in three outings last season. Jake Lamb is 4-for-10 with a home run against Samardzija, but Paul Goldschmidt (5-for-24, home run) and Daniel Descalso (3-for-20) have each struggled against the 2014 All-Star. |

Rating: 2 Units Harvey’s first start since last July went according to plan as he recorded a victory over Atlanta on Friday after allowing two runs and three hits in 6 2/3 innings. While Harvey’s velocity coming off thoracic outlet syndrome surgery was concerning in spring training, he hit the mid-90s with his fastball in the opener and effectively mixed it with a slider and change-up. Harvey is 6-2 with a 2.65 ERA in nine career starts against the Phillies. |

Rating: 2 Units Lester gets the honor of starting the home opener after also taking the ball on Opening Day in St. Louis. The 33-year-old struck out seven and allowed one run and seven hits over five innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals. Lester is 2-2 with a 3.06 ERA in five career starts versus the Dodgers and allowed just one run over 15 innings against them last season. |

04-10-17 | Reds +129 v. Pirates | 7-1 | Win | 129 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brandon Finnegan gets the start for Cincinnati and he's a pitcher that is very much under the radar. We all know that he is left-handed pitcher with a fastball that maxes out at 96 MPH and most know that he has a nasty slider but what began emerging in the second half of last season was the improvement of his change-up. These adjustments contributed to him posting a Post-All Star Break ERA of 2.93 and .230 BAA. There are, technically at least, a few changeups that improved more in the second half than Finnegan's did last year but there were no changeups that added as much fade, drop, and velocity gap combined that were also attached to a player as young and possibly exciting as the Reds' lefty. His change-up was thrown 333 times last season and was only safely hit seven times (six of those times being singles) - good for a .092 BAA against his change-up in comparison to 2015 when it was hit at a rate of .273 (and only thrown 51 times). |

Rating: 2 Units DeGrom showed no ill effects from his elbow surgery in September as he struck out six and limited Atlanta to two hits over six scoreless innings on Wednesday. The 28-year-old Floridian settled for a no-decision and has gone six starts without a victory since defeating the New York Yankees on Aug. 2. DeGrom has gone 4-0 in seven career turns against the Phillies, including a one-hit shutout on July 17 at Philadelphia. |

Rating: 2 Units Sabathia spun five scoreless innings against Tampa Bay in his first start to help New York to its only win on the young season. He will be aiming for career win No. 225 and his 20th - against 10 defeats - in his career versus Baltimore. The 36-year-old is 11-7 with a 3.43 ERA in 23 career outings at Camden Yards and will be wary of Manny Machado (14-for-43 against Sabathia) and Adam Jones (21-for-70, five home runs). Baltimore starter, Miley was 2-5 with a 6.17 ERA in 11 starts with Baltimore after being shipped from Seattle at the trade deadline. Included in that stretch were a pair of September starts against the Yankees in which he surrendered seven runs in 11 frames. |

Rating: 3 Unit MLB Play of the Day Atlanta starter, Teheran did not get a decision in Atlanta’s loss to the Mets on Opening Day, but he pitched well in scattering four hits while striking out six over as many scoreless innings. The Braves averaged just 3.37 runs in Teheran’s starts last season and could not score push across a run in Monday's 6-0 defeat to New York. Teheran blanked the Pirates over 7 2/3 innings in his only start against them in 2016 and is 3-1 with a 3.51 ERA in seven games (six starts) against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh starter Cole took the loss in Monday’s season opener at Boston, giving up five runs on seven hits in five innings. |

Rating: 2 Units Estrada pitched reasonably well in his season debut, allowing two runs on five hits and a pair of walks in six innings to gain a no-decision in the 3-2 loss to Baltimore. The 33-year-old from Mexico recorded 22 victories and a 3.30 ERA the previous two years combined to establish himself in the rotation while going 6-2 with a .193 opponents’ batting average on the road in 2016. Tampa Bay starter, Odorizzi was victimized by the long ball in his first start of the campaign, allowing a pair that led to four runs against on seven hits over six innings in a loss to the New York Yankees. |

Rating: 2 Units Seattle starter Hernandez returns to the mound after being forced to leave the season opener at Houston after five innings with tightness in his right groin. The Venezuelan ace, who turned 31 on Friday, was saddled with the loss despite giving up only two runs and five hits while striking out six and not issuing a walk. LAA starter Nolasco also lost on Opening Day, falling at Oakland after surrendering three runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. The 34-year-old Californian gave up a total of one run over his final three turns last season, winning all three. Nolasco has not fared well against Seattle in his career, going 1-4 with a 4.60 ERA in five starts. |

Rating: 2 Units Sanchez went through a side session without issues recently and should be ready to go after suffering a finger injury during the spring, when he struggled with an 8.44 ERA in 10 2/3 innings. The 24-year-old Californian was especially tough on the road last season, going 9-1 with a 2.14 ERA while allowing opponents to bat .214. Kevin Kiermaier is 3-for-7 with a double and Longoria is just 1-for-14 against Sanchez, who was 1-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts versus Tampa Bay last year. |

The 28-year-old is 1-1 with a 2.39 ERA in five career starts against Baltimore, throwing at least seven innings and striking out at least six in each outing. His lone appearance at Camden Yards resulted in eight scoreless innings and a no-decision last May. |

Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Twins are making an early statement - one they hope will continue Saturday against the host Chicago White Sox. The Twins, expected by most to be among the American League's worst teams, have won their first four games following a 3-1 victory in Friday's series opener. Minnesota swept Kansas City in impressive fashion earlier this week before topping Chicago on Friday behind Robbie Grossman (two hits, two runs) and Phil Hughes (one run allowed in six innings). The Twins hope to get a similar effort out of Adalberto Mejia, who will be making his second career appearance and first career start. |

Rating: 2 Units Oakland starter Alcantara was recalled in September and made his major-league debut against the Los Angeles Angels, suffering the loss after surrendering five runs in three innings. The 24-year-old Dominican allowed 18 runs in 22 1/3 frames over five starts and was tagged for nine home runs while recording only 14 strikeouts. Texas starter Griffin, who began his career with Oakland, will be making his first start against his former club. The 29-year-old Californian made 23 starts last year in his initial season with Texas after missing the previous two campaigns due to Tommy John surgery. Griffin went 3-0 in four outings last April and was unbeaten over his first nine turns before losing to Minnesota on July 10. |

The 27-year-old made 19 starts in 29 appearances last season and could return to the bullpen if offseason acquisition Jose DeLeon gets off to a strong start in the minors.

Rating: 3 Units The Blue Jays led the American League in BB% at 10.1% so if he doens't have control over his pitches it could be a long day for Snell. Blue Jays should get their men on base against Snell we just have to hope that they don't leave them stranded as they did in their series against Baltimore (hitting 1 for 16 with men in scoring position). Snell faced Toronto twice last season and gave up 6 runs (3 earned) in just 7.2 innings of work. He had a .747 OPS against right-handed batters compared to a .656 OPS against left-handed batters and tonight, unfortunately for him, he will be facing NINE right handed batters. |

Rating: 2 Units Eickhoff has never pitched against Cincinnati in his career but likely will face a lineup loaded with left-handed hitters, as southpaws batted .275 with an .816 OPS against him in 2016. Scooter Gennett, who hit a two-run homer in Monday's opener, is 2-for-6 lifetime with a homer against Eickhoff. Cincinnati starter Finnegan, in his first season as a full-time starter, took the ball 31 times in 2016 and generally was more effective in the second half of the season (2.93 ERA) than the first half (4.71) and has struck out Hernandez three times in four career at-bats.

Rating: 2 Units If Opening Night was any indication, the rivalry between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs will provide plenty of thrills in 2017. The Cardinals host the reigning world-champion Cubs for the middle contest of their three-game series today after claiming a walk-off win in the season opener. Randal Grichuk’s RBI single in the ninth inning gave the Cardinals the victory in the roller-coaster contest after Chicago’s Willson Contreras tied the game with a three-run blast in the top of the frame. Grichuk also hit a two-run homer in the eighth and is a career .271 hitter with 17 extra-base hits in 36 career games against the Cubs. Chicago continues to give St. Louis closer Seung Hwan Oh fits, as they’ve accounted for three of the six home runs he has allowed in his brief career - including two by Contreras.

Rating: 2 Units Although he went 1-0 against the Rays last season, Sabathia also logged an ugly 5.52 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in three starts covering 14 2/3 innings vs. them. Â On the opposing side, few starters in the league had as dominant a second half in 2016 as Rays RHP Jake Odorizzi. Â All Odorizzi did after the All-Star break was go 7-1 with a 2.71 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 14 starts covering 83 innings. Â Odorizzi will look to carry that hot streak into 2017, and based on his solid Spring training campaign, there's no reason to think that at just 27 years old, he won't be able to. Â And Odorizzi does by far his best work at home, where he has a 3.14 career ERA in 50 starts (vs. just 4.43 in 48 starts elsewhere). |

Rating: 2 Units The Detroit Tigers may soon run out of time with a star-laden roster loaded with veterans, but they hope to have enough in the tank to make a return to the postseason in 2017. That quest begins in Chicago today. when the Tigers and White Sox open their regular seasons in the first of three games at Guaranteed Rate Field after Monday's game was rained out. Veteran slugger Miguel Cabrera returns for his 10th season in Detroit to anchor the lineup and 34-year-old Justin Verlander gets the Opening Day start after authoring a spectacular rebound in 2016. The rebuilding White Sox have endured four straight losing seasons and will be hard-pressed to end that streak in the challenging American League Central division. Gone is ace Chris Sale, yielding the top spot in the rotation to fellow left-hander Jose Quintana, who will be making his first Opening Day start. |

Rating: 2 Units Kansas City is counting on another big performance from Eric Hosmer, who led the team with a career-high 104 RBIs in 2016 and placed second with 25 home runs - also a personal best. Minnesota finished with 103 losses last season - the most in the major leagues - and figure to have a difficult time recording more than the 59 victories it posted. The Twins will begin the campaign without Byung Ho Park as the South Korean slugger was re-assigned to minor-league camp despite having a superb spring at the plate (.353 average, six home runs, 13 RBIs in 19 games). Robbie Grossman likely will be the team's designated hitter and Jorge Polanco is the starting shortstop, while closer Glen Perkins (shoulder) is headed for the 60-day disabled list. |
