08-12-22 | Browns +125 v. Jaguars | 24-13 | Win | 125 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
Cleveland Browns on the money line. Friday Night Lights Play. Game 111. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. The Cleveland Browns are in a very tough division. And yet they are favorites to take the AFC North. Prognosticators also have this team touted at winning 9.5-games. The Jacksonville Jaguars are still rebuilding. They play in the AFC South in which they are predicted to finish third. This is a team that is slated to win just 6.5-games. Looking closely at these two squads, they are both pretty stacked at the quarterback position. However, Deshaun Watson is expected to start for Cleveland. His future in this league is uncertain. Therefore, I feel that him starting here is his only real chance at the moment to make a splash for himself. They also have several other quarterbacks that are pretty darn good on this team. Not only that, but they are a little deeper at some key areas such as their ground game and the receiving corp. This is also a team that is known to play a little harder in the month of August, going 9-2 straight up and 7-4 against the spread the last three preseasons. Compare that to a Jacksonville team that was 4-7 straight up and 5-6 against the spread the last three preseason campaigns. Jaguars fans know it’s going be another long season with some ups and downs. Therefore, there is no pressure on them to win right out of the gate. And they are not going to jeopardize any major players here. On the other hand, the Browns are a little deeper. And they have to make a statement of the rest of their division that they are a force to be reckoned with. Take Cleveland on the money line.. Thank you. |

08-11-22 | Giants v. Patriots +2.5 | 23-21 | Win | 105 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
New England Patriots. Thursday Night Winner. Game 106. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. This season, the New England Patriots are expected to win just 8.5-games. Well sports fans, I cannot remember the last time they were touted to win so few contests. Their opponent today, the New York Giants, are expected to win just seven outings this season. Let’s be honest, no one expects too much from the team again this year. They are predicted to finish dead-last in the very competitive, NFC East. Meanwhile, the Patriots are thought to finish second behind the Bills in the AFC East. Those numbers just don’t add up to me to be honest with you, my friends. This is a team steeped in tradition with a lot of success the last 20+ years. They are currently 50-1 to win the Super Bowl. That’s just not gonna’ sit well with their loyal fans. They must come out and get their fans excited for the upcoming campaign with a big win in their first performance this season. Not only that but they’re a little deeper at some key positions than the Giants. They have a couple of good backup quarterbacks, a couple of solid running backs, and a slew of very talented receivers. Well, New York has a couple of quarterbacks and running backs you may know. Several of their second and fourth string players at those positions are either out or questionable here today. One more item I’d like you to keep in mind. The last three preseasons, New England is 9-2 straight up and 8-3 against the spread. I expect them to come out and make a statement here today and get their loyal fans as well as their roster excited. Take New England. Thank you. |

08-10-22 | Rangers v. Astros -1.5 | 8-4 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
Houston Astros on the run line. Grand Slam Play. Game 972. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. The Houston Astros, like so many other opponents, have dominated the Texas Rangers again this season. They took Game 1 of this series yesterday by a score of 7-5. That victory gave them three straight in this rivalry, eight of the list 10 this season, and 39 of the last overall 54 meetings. The American League West’s top-team now owns an 11.5-game lead in the division. Meanwhile, things aren’t looking too good for Texas. Despite being in third-place in the West, they are 13-games under .500, 22-games back in the division, and 10-games back for a Wildcard spot. Their offense is erratic at best. And their pitching staff has been downright deplorable. This does not bode very well as they face a lineup today that has been heating up recently. Not only does Ranger starter, Glenn Otto allow a lot of runs on a lot of hits, but the team has lost his last eight starts. On the other hand, that is not the case with Astros ace, Justin Verlander. The team has won his last seven turns and 16 of his 20 overall starts in 2022. The seasoned veteran has been stellar. During those last seven outings, he is allowed a total of four earned runs in 50.2 innings pitched. Texas is 1-6 the last seven during game 2 of series, 2-7 the last nine versus right-handed starters, 2-6 the last eight on grass, and 4-11 the last 15 versus the American League West. Take Houston on the runline. Thank you. |

08-09-22 | Reds v. Mets -1.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
New York Mets on the run line. Grand Slam Play. Game 904. 4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST. New York has won four in a row and eight their last 10 to give the first-place team a seven-game cushion in the NL East. They took Game 1 of this series yesterday by a score of 5-1 to give the Mets their third win in four meetings with the Reds in 2022. Speaking of Cincinnati, they are just dreadful. They are currently 16-games back, tied for third-place with the Cubs in the NL Central with an overall record of 44-64. They happen to be one of the poorest road teams in baseball, sporting a 20-32 mark away from home. This is a team which possesses a lineup that has been erratic at best and currently the 29th-ranked pitching staff. They send Mike Minor to the mound today. The left-hander is 1-8 with a 6.19 ERA on the campaign as as a team has lost his last eight appearances. Carlos Carrasco takes the hill at home. The right-hander is 12-4 with a 3.82 ERA on the campaign. And has been outstanding at CitiField, donning a 7-1 record with a 3.41 ERA at home this season. By the way, the team has won his last six turns. In those six turns he has allowed three or less runs in each. The Reds are 6-15 the last 21 at the Mets, 1-5 the last six on the road versus right-handed starters, and 16-35 the last 51 during Game 2 of a series. The Mets are 5-1 the last six versus the NL Central, 13-3 the last 16 following a win, and 40-19 the last 59 at home. Possessing top-five rankings both on the mound and at the plate, look for New York to win another game here. Take the Mets on the run line. Thank you. |

08-08-22 | Yankees -115 v. Mariners | 9-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 12 m | Show | |
New York Yankees. Grand Slam Play. Game 963. 7:10 PM PST/10:10 PM EST. The New York Yankees have dropped five straight for the first time in the 2022 season. And yes, the Seattle Mariners did take two of three in the earlier series approximately a week ago. Their cushion in the AL East is down to 9.5-games. Anyone looking at the standings wouldn’t worry. But New York must turn it around immediately. That means a big win here today. And facing the AL West’s second-place Seattle team would not only get them going, but also make a statement. The Mariners own a Wildcard spot along with a 10-game lead for their divisions second-place slot. The Yankees aren’t slumping. They are skidding. There is a huge difference. Over the last nine contests, the New York lineup has tallied six or more runs six times. Over their last 10 outings, Seattle has accounted for six or more runs just three times while their pitching staff has gotten plowed. The M’s lineup is erratic at best. And facing a Bronx Bombers team that is in a “must-win” situation, will be fatal for the team. Taillon and Gilbert are slated to take the hill today as starters. The Yankees right-hander is 2-0 with a 3.57 ERA in three career starts vs. the Mariners. The Mariners right-hander is 1-0 with a 4.38 ERA in two lifetime starts vs. the Yankees. Seattle is 16-35 the last 51 versus New York at T-Mobile Park, 1-4 the last five during Game 1 of a series, and 3-7 the last 10 versus team with a winning percentage of over .600. New York is 36-16 the last 52 overall versus Seattle, 38-15 the last 53 during Game 1 of a series, and 6-1 the last seven on Monday. Take the Yankees. Thank you. |

08-07-22 | Pirates v. Orioles -160 | 8-1 | Loss | -160 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
Baltimore Orioles. Home Run Play. Game 926. 10:35 AM PST/1:35 PM EST. Four-games separate the American League East’s second place thru fifth place teams. But the only team in the division on a winning streak is the Baltimore Orioles. They have won five in a row. And are just one-game back of a Wildcard spot in the American League. They have taken games 1 and 2 of this series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, outscoring their National League opponent by a combined 7-3. Pittsburgh possesses some of the poorest numbers in the Majors, both on the mound and at the plate. This is a team which is in last-place in the NL Central at 43-64, dropping seven of their last 10 outings. They are also one of the worst road teams in baseball, sporting a dismal, 19-35 away record. This does not bode well as Baltimore is a whopping 31-20 at Oriole Park this season. Bryce Wilson and Spenser Watkins are scheduled starters today. Wilson is 1-6 with a 6.20 ERA on the campaign, while Watkins is 4-1 with a 3.80 ERA this season. For just about three straight months, Wilson has gotten crushed, giving up tons and tons of runs. As a matter of fact, he has allowed 34 runs in his last nine starts, in which he’s pitched only 39.9 innings. On the other hand, Watkins has allowed three runs or less in eight consecutive starts. By the way, the team has won his last four straight and six of his last seven overall turns. The Pirates are 1-7 the last eight following a loss, 1-6 the last seven versus the American League East, and 15-40 last 55 Interleague games. Take the Orioles. Thank you. |

08-06-22 | Nationals v. Phillies -1.5 | 5-11 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Philadelphia Phillies on the run line. Home Run Play. Game 956. 3:05 PM PST/6:05 PM EST. Currently, the Philadelphia Phillies own a Wildcard spot for the National League postseason. But at nine-games back in the NL East, they certainly want to better their situation in the division. And what better team to face than the Washington Nationals. The Nationals possess the Majors worst overall record at 36-72. Not only that, but as of this morning, they are 32-games back in the NL East and 23-games back of a Wildcard slot. They have lost three in a row, which includes both Games 1 and 2 of this series by a combined score of 12-6. Philly has taken three straight and eight of the last 10 over Washington this season alone. Going back a bit, they are 22-8 the last 30 overall meetings in this NL rivalry. Both on the mound and at the plate, the Nationals are significantly outclassed. Their pitching staff ranks 30th with a Team ERA of 5.20. And their offense ranks 27th in scoring, averaging just 3.81 runs per game. This does not bode well as Philadelphia ranks in the top-10 in both of those areas. Today Patrick Corbin and Ranger Suarez are set to take the hill. Corbin is 4-15 with a 6.57 ERA this season Suarez is 7-5 with a 3.60 ERA.

New York Yankees. Grand Slam Play. Game 927. 5:15 PM PST/8:15 PM EST. Despite possessing one of the best records in baseball and a 10.5-game lead in the American League East, the Yankees are just 6-8 since the All-Star break. They need to get back on track. The Cardinals have seemed to turn it up the last week or so, winning six of their last seven outings. However, their last two series were against the Cubs and the Nationals. Let’s face it, neither one of those two teams are going to do better than last place in their perspective divisions. Regardless of how they’ve been doing the last few weeks, New York still possesses the top-scoring lineup and the third-ranked pitching staff in the Majors. St. Louis ranks in the top-10, both on the mound and at the plate. But facing the Yankees is a big step up in class from their last several opponents. Nestor Cortes and Dakota Hudson are starters today. Cortez, who is 9-3 with a 2.53 ERA on the campaign has allowed just three runs in the last 19 innings, covering four appearances, including three starts. The team has won 14 of the left-handers 19 appearances in 2022. Hudson is a 6-6 with a 4.10 ERA on the campaign. However, he has struggled big-time recently. He has just one win in his last six appearances as the team has lost his last four turns. The Yankees are 4-0 the last four meetings with the Cardinals, 19-7 the last 26 following an off day, 30-14 the last 44 following a loss, and 52-21 the last 73 versus the NL Central. By the way, St. Louis has problems in Interleague action going 2-7 the last nine IL games. And moreover, a lot of trouble with the AL East going 17-36 the last 53 versus the division. Take the Yankees. Thank you. |

08-04-22 | Raiders -125 v. Jaguars | 27-11 | Win | 100 | 33 h 31 m | Show | |
Las Vegas Raiders. Hall Of Fame Game Winner. Game 101. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. The Las Vegas Raiders have a lot of pressure on them to win. They have a very big payroll. They have head coach starting his first full season, looking to make a splash. And they must change the public persona about their off-the-field legal situations the last few years. Preseason prognosticators have this team winning approximately eight-games. Well, that’s not going to cut it for a team that needs to put fans in the stands. Here in Vegas, the scuttlebutt is a lot of season-ticket holders are trying to unload their tickets. This is something that will reflect on the team. The Jacksonville Jaguars, let’s face it, no one expects a lot from them this season. They are touted to win just 6.5-games. While there’s talent on this team. It’s going take a few years for them to start winning. Believe it or not, they are predicted to finish third in the AFC South, while the Raiders are predicted to finish last in the AFC West. A big win here for Las Vegas can change a lot of things for this team right away. Not only that, but they are a little deeper on the depth chart. They have some very good players looking to make the second and third strings at key positions. Moreover, this is a team that historically tries in NFL preseason, going 5-2 both straight up and against the spread the last seven. Meanwhile, the Jaguars are just 1-6 straight up and 2-5 against the spread their last seven in August. Take the Raiders. I see this line bouncing a bit. Just to be fair, and we all get the same number. Play this team on the money line. Thank you |

Los Angeles Dodgers. Grand Slam Play. Game 963. 6:45 PM PST/9:45 PM EST. With over 100 games already played, the Los Angeles Dodgers are showing no signs of letting their foot off the gas. They have won seven of their last 10 outings, which includes Game 1 of this series with the San Francisco Giants. As a matter fact, the Dodgers seem to be looking to further widen their lead on the rest of the NL West. They currently own a 12-game cushion. And have truly dominated the rest of the division, going 45-16 the last 61 against NL West representatives. The Giants are on a 3-9 run and seem to be showing signs of fatigue. This is not a good situation for San Francisco, as they have dropped five straight against Los Angeles. Today, Tyler Anderson and Alex Wood are scheduled. Anderson is 11-1 with a 2.61 ERA on the campaign. Wood owns a 7-8 record with a 4.11 ERA. The Dodgers are 8-1 the last nine on the road and 41-17 the last 58 versus left-handed starters.

08-02-22 | Brewers -1.5 v. Pirates | 3-5 | Loss | -140 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Brewers on the run line. Home Run Play. Game 957. 4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST. Milwaukee made the news yesterday by trading away Josh Hader. However, they got Taylor Rogers in return. This tells me they’re going to do everything they can to make a real push in the second half of the season and extend their lead in the NL Central. They are currently leading the second-place St. Louis Cardinals by three-games in the division. Today is a very good situation for the Brewers. Just about everybody in the National League has dominated the Pittsburgh Pirates. But they have really had their way with them. They are 7-2 the last nine meetings in Pittsburgh. And 42-17 the last 59 overall meetings. The Pirates are starting to spiral. This is a theme riding a seven-game losing streak as they are being outscored by an average of two runs per game during the slide. Corbin Burnes is scheduled to face Bryse Wilson. Burnes is 8-4 with a 2.31 ERA on the campaign. He seems to be getting stronger this year. Over his last eight starts, he is 5-0 with a 2.08 ERA. And over his career, he is a perfect 6-0 with a 2.63 ERA in 18 games, which includes six starts against the Pirates. On the other hand, Wilson has really struggled this season, going 1-6 with a 6.31 ERA. In five lifetime appearances, which includes four starts against the Brewers, he is 1-2 with a 4.30 ERA. Milwaukee is 12-5 the last 17 following a loss, 5-0 the last five following an off day, and 6-1 the last seven versus right-handed starters. Take the Brewers on the run line. Thank you. |

08-01-22 | Mets -1.5 v. Nationals | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
New York Mets on the run line. Grand Slam Play. Game 903. 4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST. The New York Mets are the hottest team in baseball winning six in a row. They own one of the best overall records in the Majors. And heading into Game 1 of this series facing a team they have dominated. Not just that but they get to go up against the team that possesses the worst overall record in baseball. New York owns a three-game lead in the NL East with an overall record of 64-37. Washington dwells in the division cellar, 30-games back at 35-68. The Mets have taken eight of the last 10 meetings against the Nationals this season alone. And going back a bit, they have taken 16 of the last 21 matchups. New York’s pitching has been good for several seasons. The problem they have had in the past, is that their hitting was very inconsistent. Well, that’s not the case this season. They currently ranked fifth in baseball offensively, averaging over 4.7 runs per game. They also have a Team Batting Average of .256, which also ranks them at fifth. Both on the mound and on the plate, Washington is significantly outclassed here. They rank 27th in scoring, accounting for a dismal, 3.82 runs per game. And they rank dead-last in the Big Leagues with a team ERA of 5.14. Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin are schedule today. Scherzer is 6-2 with a 2.09 ERA on the campaign. And owns a career record of 2-0 against the Nationals. Corbin is 4-14 with a 6.49 ERA this season. The team has lost all five of his starts in July, in which the pitcher got losses in four of those starts. He also owns a lifetime record of 5-9 with a 4.51 ERA against New York. The Nationals statistics and trends are just horrible. They are 22-58 the last 80 at home, 17-64 the last 81 versus division opponents, and 17-37 the last 54 overall. My friends, they are being outscored by nearly 1.5 runs per game as it is. And facing a New York team that is starting to truly surge is going to make things go from bad to worse for them. Take the Mets on the run like. Thank you. |

The offense ranks sixth in scoring, while they’re pitching staff ranks fifth in Team ERA. This does not bode well for a Miami team which has been the epitome of inconsistency in both areas. Their lineup has struggled, while their pitching staff has begun to show fatigue. Taijuan Walker and Pablo Lopez are scheduled here. Walker owns an 8-2 record on the campaign with a 2.67 ERA. Lopez is 7-5 with a 3.03 ERA. The Mets are 6-1 the last seven on the road, 4-0 the last four versus right-handed starters, and 35-16 the last 51 versus the NL East. Miami is 0-6 to the last six at home, 0-5 the last five home games versus right-handed starters, and 0-5 the last five versus division opponents. Take the Mets. Thank you. |

New York Mets on the money line. Home Run play. Game 907. 11:20 AM PST/2:20 PM EST. The New York Mets are playing some amazing baseball. They have won four in a row and 10 of their last 14 outings. This includes Games 1, 2, and 3 of this series with the Chicago Cubs. With All-Star break beginning tomorrow, New York would love to widen their cushion in the National League East over the Atlanta Braves. They currently have a 2.5-game lead in this division. The Chicago Cubs are one of the most disappointing teams in the NL this season. They have lost nine straight contests, to drop them into a last-place tie with a Cincinnati Reds in the NL Central at 34-57. They are 15.5-games back at this point. In my opinion, the team has already thrown in the towel on the campaign playing with no heart or emotion. Both on the mound, and at the plate, the Mets significantly outclass the Cubs. They score a half run more per game while their pitching staff allows a full run less per game. There was a time when Chicago was dangerous at Wrigley Field. But this season they are a mere 17-32 at home. This does not bode well as they face a New York team that is one of the best in baseball when traveling, sporting a 30-19 road record. David Peterson and Adrian Sampson are scheduled starts today. Peterson is 5-2 with a 3.48 ERA this season, which includes a 2-1 record with a 2.84 ERA on the road. Sampson owns a 0-1 record with a 3.33 ERA. The team has lost two of his four starts. Going back to last season the Mets have taken six of the last seven meetings with the Cubs, are 4-0 the last four on the road, and 7-3 the last 10 versus right-handed starters. Take New York on the money line. Thank you. |

Atlanta Braves on the run line. Home Run Play. Game 957. 1:05 PM PST/4:05 PM EST. The Atlanta Braves are hot on the trail of the New York Mets in the NL East. Winners of 13 of the last 18 outings, Atlanta is just two-games back in the competitive division. With All-Star break just around the corner, they want to close that gap. There is no better opponent for them to face to achieve that goal than Washington. The Nationals possess the worst overall record in baseball at 30-62. The team has dropped 12 of their last 13 contests, finding new and improved ways to lose. The Nats offense, or lack thereof, ranks 27th in baseball in scoring, averaging a mere 3.85 runs per game. That would be bad enough. But their pitching staff ranks 29th, with the Team ERA of 5.14. As a matter of fact, in most offensive and pitching categories, they rank at or near the bottom in the Majors. The Atlanta has dominated Washington once again this season, taking nine of the 11 meetings between them and outscoring them 79-40. Max Fried takes mound on the road today. The left-hander owns a 9-3 record with a 2.56 ERA on the campaign as the team has won his last nine starts. Paolo Espino, who is making his 27th appearance, is only making his seventh start of the season. The right-hander has an 0-2 record with a 3.42 ERA. The team has lost his last three starts. Overall, this is a team that has dropped 20 of his 26 appearances in 2022, which does include six of his last seven. Atlanta is 15-4 the last 19 on the road, 37-16 the last 53 versus the NL East, and 38-16 the last 54 overall. The Braves account for approximately a run more per game while their pitching staff yields almost two runs less per game here. Take Atlanta on the run line. Thank you. |

New York Mets Game 1 on the money line. Early Game Winner. Game 953. 11:20 AM PST/2:20 PM EST. New York took Game 1 of this series on Thursday with authority, crushing Chicago, 8-0. That defeat handed the Cubs their seventh straight loss. In my opinion, this team has thrown in the towel already on the season. They are playing without any heart or emotion. It used to be that they were a good home team. That isn’t the case this season, as they are just 17-30 at Wrigley Field in 2022. Meanwhile they face a visitor who is extremely good on the road. The Mets are 28-19 as a guest this season. Taijuan Walker and Marcus Stroman are starting today. Walker, who is 7-2 with a 2.63 ERA on the campaign, has had six consecutive solid starts in which the team went 4-2. Stroman, who is 2-5 or 4.91 ERA this season, is absolutely horrible at home, going 0-3 with a 9.33 ERA. Both on the mound and at the plate, New York significantly outclasses Chicago. They are 4-1 the last five versus the Cubs, 4-1 the last five on the road, and 4-1 the last five versus the NL Central. The Cubs are 17-39 the last 56 at home, 4-10 the last four versus right-handed starters, and 4-10 the last 14 versus the NL East. Take the Mets on the money line. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. Grand Slam Play. Game 929. 6:35 PM PST/9:35 PM EST. The Los Angeles Dodgers have already dominated their division. And in all sincerity, the National League. Today, they get an opportunity to also dominate the city of Los Angeles. This is a team that does very good in Interleague play, going 41-18 the last 59 in those contests. They are also very successful in playing the American League West, sporting a 30-12 record of the last 42 games against the division. Things aren’t looking too good for the Los Angeles Angels. They currently sit in fourth place in their division, 20-games back, dropping 10 of their last 12 contests. They lost both meetings against the Dodgers this season. And going back a bit further, they are on an 0-4 slide against their cross-town rivals. Clayton Kershaw and Patrick Sandoval are scheduled today. Despite missing five weeks of action due to a lower back issue, Kershaw is 6-2 with a 2.40 ERA on the campaign. Over his career he has had enormous success against the Angels, going 8-2 with a 2.31 ERA in 14 starts. Sandoval, despite an ERA of just 2.95 is only 3-4 on the season. Over his career, he has not done too well against the Dodgers, sporting a 0-2 record with a 4.76 ERA in four games, which includes three starts. And by the way, the team has lost six of his last seven appearances. Overall, the Dodgers account for more than a run more per game and allow just about a run less per game. Take Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. Thank you. |

Houston Astros on the run line. Home Run Play. Game 926. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. With the midway point of the regular season coming near, the Houston Astros have shown no signs of slowing down. They own are tied for second best overall record in all of baseball at 58-30. And currently have an 11-game lead in the American League West. They have had their way with this division, going 23-8 the last 31 versus AL west opponents. Today in Game 1 of this series, they face the divisions last place, Oakland Athletics. They have taken seven of the last eight meetings in this rivalry, which includes a 5-1 mark in 2022. Cole Irvin and Jake Odorizzi are scheduled starters today. Irvin, who is 3-7 with a 3.32 ERA this season has gotten decimated by the Astros in his career. In six lifetime starts against them, he owns a 0-4 record with a 5.57 ERA, which includes 0-1 mark this season alone. Odorizzi is 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA on the campaign. And over his last four starts, he seems to be getting even stronger, possessing a 4-0 mark with a 1.87 ERA. In their five victories over the A’s this season, the Astros have outscored them by a combined, 27-10. Today’s matchup won’t be any different. They are 47-19 the last 66 during Game 1 of a series, 44-20 the last 64 at home, and 5-1 the last six versus left-handed starters. The Athletics are 2-8 the last 10 on the road, 0-5 the last five following an off day, and 15-38 the last 53 versus teams with a winning record. Take Houston on the run line. Thank you. |

Tampa Bay Rays. Home Run Play. Game 966. 4:10 PM PST/7:10 PM EST. The Tampa Bay Rays are looking to what solidify their second place standing in the competitive American League East. The division is the only in baseball consisting of five teams with a winning record. However, the Rays are starting to distance themselves from the rest of the pack. They sit a game and a half ahead of both the Red Sox and the Blue Jays and 2.5-games ahead of the Orioles. What better opponent to face to achieve their goal than Boston. They have taken five consecutive meetings against their division rival and seven of the last eight this season alone. Just in this series they have won Games 1, 2, and 3 by a combined score of 20-8. It seems as though the Red Sox have had their 15 minutes of fame and the long stretch of the first staff of the regular season has taken its toll on them. They have now dropped seven of their last nine. Their pitching staff has totally fallen apart, allowing five runs or more runs in seven of those last nine outings. Playing in Tropicana Field is difficult on any visitor as the Rays are one of the best home teams in baseball, sporting a 28-17 record as host. Speaking of pitching, Kutter Crawford gets the start here for the guest. While he has not pitched too shabby in recent weeks, he does not have too many starts under his belt. This is just the fifth time he will take the mound as a starter in his short two seasons in the Majors. The way the Tampa Bay lineup has been exploiting the Boston pitching staff tells me he is in for a long day here today. On the flipside, Drew Rasmussen gets the nod at home. He has pitched quite well over recent weeks but a lack of run support has resulted in few wins. But his numbers are very respectable, a 5-3 record with a 3.10 ERA which does include a 3-0 mark with a 1.65 ERA at home this season. Look for Tampa Bay to extend their domination of Boston again today. Take the Rays. Thank you. |

Baltimore Orioles. Grand Slam Play. Game 929. 5:05 PM PST/8:05 PM EST. The hottest team in baseball is not the Yankees, the Astros, or the Dodgers. Don’t look now, but the Orioles have won nine consecutive games. Not only that, but they have hit the .500 at 44-44. One more victory and every single team in the American League East will have a winning record. With their current hot streak, only 3.5 games separate four teams in the division. The way Baltimore is playing right now, they can go into All-Star break in second place. What better team to face to achieve that goal than Chicago. The Cubs are riding a five-game losing streak and own one of the worst home records in baseball at 17-28 at Wrigley Field. In my opinion, Chicago has already thrown in the towel on the season. They’re playing without any heart or emotion. And I doubt things are going to get any better. This is a team which possesses a very erratic lineup and the 25th ranked pitching staff in baseball. Spenser Watkins takes the hill on the road. The right-hander has a 2-1 record with a 4.15 ERA this season. And he seems to be getting better as the campaign is progressing, going 2-0 with a 1.02 ERA in his last three turns. Justin Steele takes in mound at home. He is 3-5 with a 4.13 IRA in 2022. While he is striking batters out, the left-hander is also having a problem with control. To me, baseball is the streakiest of all the major sports and you cannot go against a team that is streaking like Baltimore is at the moment. They have taken both meetings against Chicago this season by a combined score of 13-5. The Cubs are 17-36 The last 53 at home and 7-20 the last 27 Interleague games, Take the Orioles. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers. Home Run Play. Game 907. 4:45 PM PST/7:45 PM EST. Los Angeles snapped their seven-game win streak yesterday in game 1 of this series to St. Louis, 7-6. The Dodgers have just a few games left before the All-Star break and would love to widen their lead in the NL West. This is a team that does not take losing lightly and are excellent in “bounce back“ mode. They have taken eight of the last 11 overall meetings with the Cardinals. And come in here today with Tony Gonsolin on the mound. The right-hander is a perfect, 11-0 on the campaign with an anemic ERA of just 1.62. This is a guy who owns a 4-0 record with a 2.21 ERA on the road this season. While the team has won his last eight turns. St. Louis sends veteran, Adam Wainwright to the hill. The right-hander has lost his last two outings to bring his record to 6-7 with a 3.15 ERA in 2022. Look for Los Angeles to get back on track here as they are 53-20 the last 73 versus the NL Central, 6-1 the last seven road games versus right-handed starters, and an overall 39-16 the last 55 games versus right-handed starters. Take the Dodgers. Thank you. |

Houston Astros. Home Run Play. Game 971. 6:35 PM PST/9:45 PM EST. With the Yankees starting to show signs of mortality, the Astros know they can go in to All-Star break possibly tied with New York for the best record in the American League and in all of baseball. It’s a slim chance, but it is still a chance. Houston is running red-hot winning 11 of their last 13 contests. Their lineup is exploding. In eight of those last 11 victories, they accounted for five or more runs. All this while their pitching staff has been absolutely outstanding. They have allowed more than three runs just three times in those last 13 overall games. They enter this match up with confidence knowing they have taken three straight and seven of the last 10 meetings this season alone over Los Angeles. Going back a bit they certainly have had their way in the series going 50-23 the last 73 overall meetings. Today Luis Garcia gets the road start. Despite coming off a tough outing, he recorded his fourth win in four straight turns. On the hill for the Angels is Noah Syndergaard. Overall, he has pitched well. However, run support has been an issue as the team has dropped five of his last six starts. Los Angeles is struggling to say the least. They are 3-13 the last 16 during Game 1 of a series, 8-24 the last 32 versus right-handed starters, and 6-15 the last 21 at home. Take the Astros. Thank you. |

07-11-22 | White Sox v. Guardians +102 | 4-8 | Win | 102 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
Cleveland Guardians. Home Run play. Game 916. 4:10 PM PST/7:10 pm est. A half-game separates the AL Central’s second place Guardians and the third place, White Sox. I will tell you that neither team is piling up victories right now. However, Cleveland has taken four of five meetings with Chicago this season. And going back to last season, four the last five meetings at Progressive Field. Scheduled starters today are Lance Lynn and Cal Quantrill. Quantrill has a considerably lower ERA this season. And in eight career appearances versus the White Sox, which includes four starts, he has an ERA of 2.03. Lynn Lynn, in three starts at Progressive Field over his career is 1-2 with a 3.32 ERA. Lynn is only making his sixth appearance on the campaign while Quantrill is making his 17th. He has certainly been the more consistent of the two pitchers. The Guardians are 8-2 the last 10 home games versus teams with a losing record. Take Cleveland. Thank you. |

New York Yankees. Game 977. 4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST. New York took Games 1 and 2 of this series with authority only to lose Game 3 in the 10th inning last night. Well folks, the Yankees do not take losing lightly. They certainly don’t take losing lightly to their archrival, the Red Sox. While Boston does occupy second place in the competitive American League East division by just a half-game, this team is certainly starting to show signs of fatigue. The lineup has been erratic at best, while they’re pitching staff has allowed five or more runs in nine of the last 12 contests. This does not bode well when that pitching staff has to face the top-scoring lineup in baseball. That’s right, New York accounts for over 5.22 runs per game, which tops the league. They also lead the league in OPS and home runs. All this while they possess the Majors No. 2 ranked pitching staff. Speaking of pitching, James Taillon and Nick Pivetta are scheduled starters today. The Yankees hurler is 9-2 with a 3.63 ERA on the campaign. And in for career starts against Boston, he owns a 2-0 record with a 1.46 ERA. The Red Sox starter is 8-6 with a 3.68 ERA in 2022. And in his career in four appearances, which includes three stars, is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA versus the Yankees. New York is 5-2 the last seven meetings in Fenway Park and 10-3 the last 13 overall meetings with Boston. They are also 23-8 the last 31 versus the American League East, 39-12 the last 51 versus right-handed starters, and 24-8 the last 32 following a loss. The Red Sox are 1-4 the last five versus the American League East, 1-4 the last five versus right-handed starters, and 1-4 the last five at home. Take the Yankees. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. Home Run play. Game 960. 1:10 PM PST/4:10 PM EST. Los Angeles has had their way with most opponents this season. But when it comes to Chicago, they have absolutely dominated. They have taken all six meetings with the Cubs in 2022. And going back a bit further, the Dodgers have taken nine consecutive matchups in this National League rivalry. LA is rolling, riding a five-game win streak, winning nine of their last 10 overall outings. Meanwhile Chicago is slumping, dropping three straight and five of the last seven. Both on the mound and at the plate, the Cubs are significantly outclassed here. When you match up a team that averages over five runs per game with a team that allows over five runs per game, bad things are going to happen. Drew Smyly will be making his first start in nearly six weeks. In six career appearances, which includes four starts against the Dodgers, the left-hander is 0-2 with a 4.22 ERA. Julio Urias takes the mound at home. He sports a 2.57 ERA on the campaign. And in his career, in five appearances, which includes three starts against the Cubs, he is 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA. The Cubs are 5-13 the last 18 on the road, 7-21 the last 28 versus the NL West, and 6-14 the last 20 following a loss. Take the Dodgers on the run line. Thank you. |

Baltimore Orioles. Home Run play. Game 966. 4:05 pm pst. Looks can be very deceiving my friends. Case in point, the Baltimore Orioles record. Yes, they are in last place, 20.5-games back in the American League East. However, the division is the only division in baseball that’s sports four teams with winning records. Meanwhile the Orioles themselves possess a 40-44 mark on the campaign. Trust me when I tell you if this ball club was in any other division in baseball, not only would they have a winning record, they might even be a division leader. They are currently riding a five-game win streak. This includes a Game 1 win yesterday over the Angels, 4-1. They have taken three of four meetings in 2022 with Los Angeles. And going back a bit further five of the last six overall matchups. Talk about a disappointing team. The Angels, which had some high hopes this season, are 17-games back in the West, sitting in fourth place, with a dismal record of 38-46. If you just look at the records on the road and at home in the situation it will make you gasp. Baltimore is 22-17 at Oriole Park, while LA is a 17-23 on the road. Reid Detmers and Tyler wells are scheduled. Detmers comes off two extremely bad outings, allowing nine earned runs in just 8.2 innings pitch. The team has lost his last six turns. On the other hand, Wells has allowed two runs or less in four straight appearances and has won his last five consecutive outings. The Angels are 1-12 the last 13 versus the American League East, 5-17 the last 22 on the road, and 8-21 the last 29 versus right-handed starters. Take the Orioles. Thank you. |

Tampa Bay Rays on the run line. Grand Slam play. Game 979. 3:40 pm pst. Tampa Bay owns sole possession of second place in the American League East by just a half-game. My friends, second-place in the toughest and most competitive division in all of baseball is big. With All-Star break just around the corner the Rays want, and more importantly need every victory they can earn right now. And playing the lowly Reds is perfect. Cincinnati owns the worst record in all the National League. They rank 21st in scoring and dead-last in the Majors in Team ERA. Speaking of pitching, Luis Castillo takes the mound at home here. There are rumors that he is a target with the trade deadline approaching. He comes off two solid performances. However, if you want to talk about solid performances, look no further than Tampa Bay starter, Shane McClanahan. He leads the American League in ERA, opponents average, and WHIP. Not to mention he is tied for the league-lead in strikeouts. He has allowed two or less runs in 11 consecutive turns. Meanwhile the team has won nine of his last 11 starts. The Tampa Bay bats have started to heat up. Just over the five victories in the last six outings their lineup has accounted for over 39 runs. This spells doom for Cincinnati. The Rays are 5-1 the last six games on the road, 8-2 the last 10 versus the NL Central, and 5-0 less five versus right-handed starters. Take Tampa Bay on the run line. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. Home Run play. Game 916. 7:10 pm pst. Guys, I’m going to be very honest here. If I was a Chicago Cubs fan, or a season-ticket holder, I would ask for my money back. This team is playing with no heart or emotion whatsoever. Not only that, but it really feels like they’ve already thrown in the towel on the season. They may be sitting currently in third place in the NL Central, but they might as will be sitting on Mars. Let’s face it, the Cubs, Pirates, and the Reds really have no chance in this division, let alone at the playoffs. The NL Central is a two-horse race between the Brewers and the Cardinals. But that doesn’t mean they should stop trying. Having said that, the Cubs have lost all three meetings with the Dodgers this season. And going back a bit further, six consecutive matchups. Just this season alone, they’ve been outscored by Los Angeles, 20-3. But this is just indicative of their season. The only thing worse than their erratic lineup has been their deplorable pitching. Today Mark Leiter Jr. gets the start. Come on guys, this guy was out of the Big Leagues since 2018. That’s how desperate this team has been to put some new and fresh blood on the field. He is currently the owner of a 2-2 record with a 4.85 ERA. Speaking of pitching, Tony Gonsolin takes the hill at home. He is a perfect, 10-0 on the season with a 1.54 ERA. In his 15 appearances in 2022, the right-hander has not allowed more than two earned runs in a single outing. So, both on the mound and at the plate Chicago is significantly outclassed her. Let’s face it guys, the Dodgers own the No. 2 scoring offense and the No. 2 pitching staff in the Majors. As I said, the Cubs are outclassed. There are also 4-10 the last 14 on the road and 0-4 the last four versus the NL West. Take the Dodgers on the run line. Thank you |

Miami Marlins. Best Bet play. Game 907. 4:10 pm pst. The New York Mets are starting to show signs of stress and fatigue. Their lineup has been erratic, while their pitching staff, although still respectable, has dropped to 13th in the league with a Team ERA of 3.85. Speaking of dropping, this team has lost five of the last nine outings for the reasons I just stated. They own a slim, 2.5-game lead in the NL East as the Atlanta Braves, the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Miami Marlins have all gained a little traction. Miami is starting to heat up, winning five of their last six contests. And today, they send Daniel Castano to the hill. The left-hander has allowed two runs or less in six of seven appearances in 2022. For New York, Trevor Williams gets the nod. The right-hander is 1-5 with a 4.34 ERA on the campaign. And in five career appearances, which includes three starts against the Marlins, owns a 0-1 record with a 4.26 ERA. My friends, I feel the wrong team is favored here. One team is running hot and the other is not. The Marlins are 5-0 the last five versus the NL East, 6-1 the last seven on grass, and 5-1 the last six versus right-handed starters. Take the Marlins. Thank you. |

Houston Astros on the run line. Crusher play. Game 974. 5:10 pm pst. If any other team in baseball where on the eight-game win streak, we would certainly say they were running red-hot. However, it seems that the Houston Astros have been running hot all seasoned long. They own the Majors second best overall record at 53-27. Not to mention that they have a 13.5-game lead in the American League West. On the other hand, the Kansas City Royals are once again struggling, to say the least. They possess one of the worst records in all of baseball and dwell in the American League Central division at 29-50, a whopping 15.5-games back. Houston has taken four of the five meetings over Kansas City this season. Going back a bit the Royals are 0-4 the last four matchups at the Astros and an overall 1-6 the last seven match ups. Brad Keller and Christian Javier are starting pitchers today. Keller, is 3-9 with a 4.24 ERA. Javier, who is 6-3 with a 2.58 ERA on the campaign has never faced Kansas City as a starter (two relief appearances). The Royals are significantly outclassed in this matchup, both on the mound and at the plate. Take the Astros on the run line. Thank you. |

Minnesota Twins AL Central Game of the Week. Game 965. 11:10 am pst. As we near the midway point of the regular season, the Twins seem to be getting hotter while the White Sox seem to be cooling off. Minnesota has taken Games 1 and 2 of this series to now give them a 4.5-game cushion in the division. As a matter of fact, they have dominated the White Sox in 2022, taking all five meetings with their American League Central rival. Going back a bit they have taken seven in a row against them. Joe Ryan and Lance Lynn are scheduled starters today. Ryan owns a 6-3 record with a 3.00 ERA this season. As a second-year Major Leaguer, the right-hander has not faced Chicago in his career. Lynn is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA on the campaign and is only making his fifth start of the year. While team has won three of his four turns, he has given up a total of 11 earned runs so far. He has had success against Minnesota over his career. But he still trying to get back in sync and is not the pitcher he once was. The White Sox lineup has certainly struggled recently. And facing the leagues sixth-ranked pitching staff, I don’t see things changing here for them. They are 1-6 the last seven at home. Take the Twins. Thank you. |

Houston Astros on the run line. MLB Crusher play. Game 920. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. As we approach the All-Star break, the Houston Astros aren’t taking their foot off the gas. They have won seven in a row and nine of their last 10 contests. The team is perched atop the American League West with a record of 52-27, and a 13.5-game cushion in the division. They took Game 1 of this series yesterday 7-6, giving them three victories in the four matchups with the Kansas City Royals in 2022. Scheduled starters are Zack Greinke and Luis Garcia. The Royals right-hander is 2-4 with a 4.38 ERA on the campaign. In all sincerity, the 38-year-old is not the pitcher he once was. And now he must face an Astros lineup that is striding. Just over their current seven-game win streak, they have outscored opponents 41-12. Garcia has won his last three starts, owning a 6-5 record with a 3.54 ERA this season. Kansas City has trouble facing the right-handers going 16-35 the last 51 against them. To make matters worse they are dominated by AL West representatives going to 37-83 the last 120 versus the division. Houston is 42-19 the last 61 at home and 41-16 the last 57 overall. Both on the mound and at the plate, the Astros are far superior. Their lineup accounts for more than half a run per game, while their pitching staff allows just about two runs less per game. Take Houston on the run line. Thank you. |

Houston Astros on the run line. Best Bet play. Game 970. 1:10 pm pst. The Astros show no sign of taking their foot off the gas, winning six in a row and eight of their last nine contests. Behind the No. 1 pitching staff in baseball, the team is surging. In those eight victories over the last nine games, the staff has allowed just seven runs. Jake Odorizzi returns, coming off the injured list to make his first appearance since mid-May. The right-hander is 3-2 with a 3.13 ERA on the campaign. Prior to the layoff, he went 3-0 with a 0.79 ERA over his last four turns. This is an ideal spot to make his return facing a Royals lineup that ranks 27th in scoring, averaging just 3.84 runs per game. Jonathan Heasley takes the hill today for Kansas City. The rookie right-hander is 1-4 with a 5.20 ERA on the season, going winless over his past three starts. Houston has taken two of three meetings over Kansas City in 2022. And going back a bit, four of the last five matchups. They are 41-19 the last 60 at home, 20-6 the last 26 versus right-handed starters, and 44-19 the last 63 during Game 1 of a series. Take the Astros on the run line. Thank you. |

Houston Astros on the runline. Best Bet play. Game 920. 11:10 am pst. The Astros are in an ideal spot to further widen their lead and the AL West. They currently have a 12.5-game cushion in the division and enter Game 3 of this series with confidence. Houston has taken the first two games over the Angels by combined score of 17-2. The Astros have dominated the Angels once again this season taking six of the nine meetings with their division rival. Los Angeles is having problems, both at the plate and on the mound. Their lineup is in a severe slump while the pitching staff is getting crushed. Houston is red-hot, riding a 13-3 hot streak, with a combination of a surging lineup and a stellar pitching staff. They have dominated their division, taking 18 of the last 24 meetings against AL West rivals. They take it to another level at Minute Maid Park, winning 40 of the last 59 contests at home. This does not bode well for Los Angeles as they are 4-14 the last 18 games played on the road. Take the Astros on the runline. Thank you. |

07-02-22 | Red Sox -132 v. Cubs | 1-3 | Loss | -132 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
Boston Red Sox. Interleague Game of the Week. Game 981. 4:15 pm pst. With All-Star break just around the corner, there are quite a few teams vying to better their situation. One of those teams is the Boston Red Sox. They are one of the hottest teams in the American League, winning 20 of their last 27 contests. They did drop Game 1 of this series yesterday to the Chicago Cubs, 6-5. They now sit in third place in the competitive, American League East. This is a very good team that doesn’t take losing lightly as they are 13-3 the last 16 games played following a loss. Not only that but they have dominated the National League Central, taking 11 of the last 14 meetings with opponents from the division. In my opinion, the Chicago Cubs have already thrown in the towel in for the season. Their division is a two-horse race between the Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals. This team has won three in a row but let’s be honest, the first two victories in that small win streak were against the worst team in the NL, the Cincinnati Reds. Josh Winckowski and Alec Mills are scheduled today. The Red Sox starter has been stellar in his last three starts, earning victories in all three, allowing just for earned runs in over 16 innings pitched. On the other hand, Mills hasn’t had a strong outing in weeks, yielding five earns runs in each of his last three turns. By the way in those three appearances, he has only lasted a total of a little over seven innings pitched. And when the team goes to their bullpen, things will get worse as their pitching staff ranks 26th. The Cubs are 3-15 the last18 interleague home games, 1-6 the last seven versus AL East, and 16-35 the last 51 overall home games. Take Boston. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. NL West Game of the Week. Game 912. 7:10 pm pst. Following a quick stint in second place in the NL West, the Dodgers have reclaimed the top-spot in the division, winning seven of their last 10 games to give them a 2.5 game lead over the Padres. Playing San Diego is ideal for Los Angeles to further widen their cushion in the division. They won Game 1 of this series yesterday 3-1. They have taken three or four meetings with the Padres this season. And going back a bit, nine of the last 10 overall matchups. Blake Snell is winless in 2022, going 0-5 with a 5.60 ERA. The team has lost all seven of his starts this season. On the other hand, Tony Gonsolin, who is 9-0 with a 1.58 ERA, has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his 14 appearances this season. Los Angeles owns the top scoring lineup in baseball, averaging over 5.05 runs per game. This does not bode well for a San Diego squad which have managed to score over five runs just three times in the last 13 outings. San Diego is 1-5 the last six on the road, 1-4 the last five on grass, and 0-4 the last four versus right-handed starters. Take Los Angeles on the run line. Thank you. |

Seattle Mariners on the run line. Best Bet play. Game 924. 7:10 pm pst. One game separates three teams in the AL West from possessing sole possession of second place in the division. And right now, the Seattle Mariners are the hottest of those teams. They have won three in a row and eight of the last 10 outings. This includes a Game 1 victory yesterday over Oakland, 8–6. That defeat was the A’s fourth in a row. The Mariners have taken five of seven meetings with their division rival this season, outscoring them by 19 runs in those five victories. James Kaprielian and Marco Gonzales are scheduled here today. Kaprielian is 0-5 with a 5.88 ERA while Gonzales is 4-8 with a 3.31 ERA. In seven career appearances against Seattle, Kaprelian has a whopping ERA of 6.26 as Gonzales, in 17 appearances versus Seattle has an ERA of just 3.94. Gonzales is already 2-0 versus Oakland this season while Kaprielian is 0-1 in two starts against the Mariners. The Athletics are 2-8 the last 10 meetings at the Mariners and 6-20 the last 26 overall meetings. To make matters worse they have lost four straight on the road and 20 of the last 26 versus division opponents. Take Seattle on the run line. Thank you. |

St. Louis Cardinals. Home Run play. Game 901. 3:05 pm pst. St. Louis sits one game behind of Milwaukee in the NL Central. They desperately want the top spot back. They enter this matchup with a top-10 squad both on the mound and at the plate. Miles Mikolas gets the start here. The seasoned right-hander is 5-5 with a 2.57 ERA on the campaign. And over his career in three games, which includes two starts against the Phillies, is 1-0 with a 4.15 ERA. Bailey Falter has never faced the Cardinals in his short career. The left-hander, however is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA this season. I don’t expect the young pitcher to last too long today. And when the Phillies go to their bullpen, things are going to go from bad to worse for them. St. Louis is 21-7 the last 28 vs. left-handed starters. Take the Cardinals. Thank you. |

Seattle Mariners on the run line. Run Line Game of the Month. Game 966. 7:10 pm pst. Not only does Oakland possess the worst record in the American League, they also possess the worst record in all of baseball. They dwell in the AL West cellar, 23.5 games back at 25-52. Their numbers don’t improve at all in this situation either. They have dropped 11 of the last 15 on the road, 22 of their last 29 versus division opponents, and 43 of their last 58 overall. While Seattle is just five-games under .500, please understand that a mere 1.5 games separate three teams in this division. A small win streak now and a little help can leapfrog this team into second place in the West. And playing Oakland is just what they need to achieve their goal. They have taken three straight and eight of the last 10 overall in this rivalry. As a matter of fact, they are 7-2 the last nine meetings in Seattle and 21-7 the last 28 overall meetings. Adrian Martinez and Logan Gilbert are scheduled starters here. Martinez is making just his second career start while Gilbert is 8-3 with a 2.44 ERA on the season. And has faced the Athletics four times in his career. The Mariners are 5-1 the last six versus the American League West, 7-2 the last nine versus right-handed starters, and 7-2 the last nine overall. Take Seattle on the run line. Thank you. |

New York Yankees. Battle of the AL Best. Game 961. 3:10 pm pst. Not only do these two teams own the best records in the American League, they also own the two best records in all of baseball. They have split four meetings so far in 2022. But going back a little bit further, New York has gotten the better of Houston, taking six of the last 10 matchups. There is no questioning the fact that the Yankees offense is more lethal, ranking in the top-three in scoring, OPS, and home runs. The Astros lineup is certainly good, but they just don’t possess the same depth or consistency as their opponent here today. Both pitching staffs are excellent ranking No. 1 and No. 2 in the Majors. Speaking of pitching, Luis Severino and Luis Garcia are scheduled today. Severino has been more consistent, possesses the lower ERA, and has had more experience facing his opponent than his counterpart does. New York is 14-2 the last 16 road games versus right-handed starters, 20-8 the last 28 versus the American League West, And 40-12 the last 52 during Game 1 of a series. Take the Yankees. Thank you. |

Over in the Rangers/Royals matchup. AL Total of the Month. Games 915/916. Games 1 and 2 of this series have both gone over the total as these two teams have combined for 25 runs scored in the two matchups. Going back a bit, eight of the last 10 meetings have gone over the total. Today Dane Dunning and Zack Greinke are schedule starters. Dunning is 1-5 with a 4.17 ERA, allowing four or more runs four times the season. Greinke owns a 1-4 record with a 4.68 ERA on the campaign. And just over his last five starts, he has allowed five or more runs three times. The Rangers lineup has started to heat up, while both pitching staffs are less than stellar to say the least. The over is 4-0 in Texas’ last four road games and 4-0 in Kansas City’s last four home games. Take the over. Thank you. |

New York Yankees on the run line. Home Run play. Game 966. 4:05 pm pst. There are several things contributing to New York’s success this season. For starters, they’re coming back to win ball games. This is something they haven’t done in recent seasons. Last night’s victory over Oakland in Game 1 of this series was their 23rd comeback win this season alone. Something else that is contributing to the teams Major League best record is their pitching staff. Granted, their lineup is ranked No. 1 in scoring, OPS, and home runs. But unlike recent seasons, this season they’re pitching staff ranks second overall, with a Team ERA of 2.97. It’s not just their starters that are playing well. Their relievers are playing just well too. They should have no problem continuing their winning ways here today. The Yankees have dominated the Athletics, taking five of the last six meetings in New York. And seven of the last 10 meetings overall. The A’s currently possess the worst record in all of baseball at 25-50. Today they send Frankie Montas to the hill. The right-hander has notched just one win since mid-April. That’s right. Over his last 12 starts, he is 1-6, while the team is just 1-11 in those 12 starts. For New York, JP Sears will make his fourth appearance and second start of the campaign. Recalled from AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the left-hander Has looked good in his three appearances. I don’t think he’ll be threatened too much against the league’s 29th-ranked offense. To be honest with you, not only does Oakland rank 29th in scoring and home runs, they also rank 30th in both Team BA and OPS. If he does get in a little trouble, I have full faith in the Yankees bullpen to keep the Athletics lineup in toe. Oakland is 1-9 the last 10 versus the AL East, 5-16 the last 21 versus left-handed starters, and 7-19 the last 26 following a loss. Take New York on the run line. Thank you. |

Texas Rangers. Best Bet play. Game 913. 5:10 pm pst. These are two teams that surely have different outlook on the second half of the regular season. Kansas City dwells in the AL Central cellar at 26–-45 and 13.5 games back. Texas sits in second place in the AL West at 34-37, 10.5 games back. Currently they are just 5.5 games back of a Wildcard spot. The Rangers have taken two of three meetings with the Royals this season. And going back a bit further, five of the last six matchups. They have just outclassed their opponent here today. The Royals rank among the worst in baseball, both on the mound and at the plate. The Rangers are about at the middle of the pack in both areas. Today Martin Perez gets the road start. The left-hander comes off two outstanding outings en route to an overall record this season of 5-2 with a 1.96 ERA. Over his career in 11 appearances (all starts) he is 4-1 with a 4.43 ERA against the Royals. Kris Bubic gets the nod at home. He is 1-4 with a 7.41 ERA this season. And has only faced the Rangers twice in his career, both as a reliever. Texas is 10-4 the last 14 meetings at Kauffman Stadium and 7-1 the last eight versus left-handed starters. Take the Rangers. Thank you. |

Boston Red Sox. Best Bet play. Game 963. 10:40 pm pst. Don’t look now but the Boston Red Sox have very quietly taken over second place in the most competitive division in baseball. That’s right, the Red Sox are sitting in second in the AL East, winning six in a row and eight of their last 10. This is huge going into All-Star break. Having momentum going into the midway point of the regular season will certainly help them at the start of the second half of the regular season. They are playing great baseball. During their current six-game win streak they have accounted for five or more runs five times. All this while they’re pitching staff has not allowed an opponent to post five runs in a single one of those contests. Dropping three straight has brought the Cleveland Guardians down to second place in the Central. Playing Boston has been their kryptonite. They have dropped both Games 1 and 2 of this series. And going back a little bit, eight of the last 10 meetings. Playing at home hasn’t helped either against the Red Sox, as they are just 1-6 the last seven matchups at Progressive Field. Rich Hill and Aaron Civale are scheduled starters. Hill has certainly been more consistent to say the least. The Red Sox are 6-0 the last six versus the AL Central, 5-0 the last five versus right-handed starters, 7-1 the last eight versus teams with a winning record, and 11-2 the last 13 on the road. Take Boston. Thank you. |

St. Louis Cardinals. NL CENTRAL GOM. Game 956. 515 pm pst. Guys, I can make this analysis extremely short by saying simply “fade the Cubs.” But you know me, I can’t leave it at that. Chicago is playing such bad baseball that I believe that they’ve thrown in the towel already, even before the mid-way point of the regular season. They’re not hitting. And their pitching has been just deplorable. They have lost 14 of the last 17 outings. But things are even worse than that. In those 14 losses, they’ve accounted for five or more runs just three times. Meanwhile, their pitching has allowed at least five runs in 13 of those last 17 outings. Speaking of pitching, Kyle Hendricks is getting the start today. The team has lost his last two starts. And over his last five turns, the right-hander has allowed 21 earned runs in just over 23 innings pitched. Now St. Louis has been up-and-down over recent weeks going 8-7 the last 15 contests. But presently, they are tied for the top-spot in the division with Milwaukee and need every win they can get before going into the All-Star break. Playing the Cubs should help them achieve their goal. They have taken three of five meetings with Chicago this season. And going back a bit, 10 of the last 14 overall meetings. Today they send Andre Pallante to the hill. Granted, the team hasn’t given the pitcher too much run support. However, the right-hander has not allowed more than two earned runs in any outing this season. And if you’re keeping count, he has made 21 appearances already. Yes, I know he’s only had a few starts, but he has looked very sharp in each one of those starts. There is no way Chicago can contend with the No. 5 scoring offense in baseball. Nor can they contend with the 11th ranked pitching staff either. St. Louis is 8-2 the last 10 at home, 7-2 the last nine home games versus right-handed starters, and 34-15 the last 49 versus the NL Central. Take the Cardinals. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. Early Game Winner. Game 905. 9:35 pm pst. With both Los Angeles and San Diego winning on Wednesday, these two NL West rivals continue to share the top-spot in the division. With just a few weeks remaining in the first half of the regular season, the Dodgers know all too well that they need every win they can get right now. And playing the Reds is just ideal for them to reach their goal. They have taken all six meetings with Cincinnati in 2022 and going back a little bit further eight consecutive matchups, which does include four straight at Great American Ball Park. Just in this series, Los Angeles has outscored Cincinnati 16-6 in Games 1 and 2. Today they send Clayton Kershaw to the mound. The left-hander owns a 4-1 record with a 2.08 ERA on the campaign. To be quite honest the team has lost three of his last four turns. However, he has not allowed more than two earned runs in five consecutive starts. In 13 career starts against the Reds, Kershaw is 5-2 with a 2.30 ERA. For Cincinnati, Hunter Greene takes the bump. The right-hander is 3-7 with a whopping ERA of 5.26 on the season. And has had three poor outings in his last five starts. The team has lost 10 of his last 12 turns. The Reds own the worst record in the NL, at 23-45, losing six in a row. Cincinnati is struggling both at the plate and on the mound. They rank 18th in scoring and 30th in Team ERA. That just isn’t going to cut it in a matchup with a team that ranks second in baseball in both of those categories. The Reds are 0-7 the last seven at home, 15-39 the last 54 versus the NL West, and 16-40 the last 56 following a loss. Take the Dodgers on the run line. Thank you. |

San Francisco Giants. Oddsmakers Mistake play. Game 959. 4:20 pm pst. Both the Atlanta Braves and the San Francisco Giants are currently sitting in a second place standing in their divisions. Both teams certainly know that every win they can muster right now going into All-Star break will give them momentum come the second half of the regular season. They have split-out Games 1 and 2 of this series. And over the last 10 meetings, they have split-out, five games each. While I will admit the Giants lineup have been a bit erratic. I feel that today’s matchup is all about the starting pitchers. Carlos Rodon and Charlie Morton are scheduled. The San Francisco starter is 6-4 with a 2.84 ERA this season. And has had five solid turns. Unfortunately, the team couldn’t give him run support in several of his outings. On the flipside, the Braves starter is 4-3 with a whopping ERA of 5.08. Four of his last five turns, he has allowed four earned runs. Rodon has certainly been more consistent. And with the team getting a big win yesterday, I feel momentum has shifted to the Giants favor. San Francisco is 6-1 the last seven versus teams with a winning record, 4-1 the last five as an underdog, 8-3 the last 11 on grass, and 5-2 the last seven versus right-handed starters. Take the Giants. Thank you. |

They have lost eight of their last 10 to sink further into the abyss, sitting in fourth place in the AL Central, at 26-42. On the other hand, the Boston Red Sox have started to heat up. They have won three straight, seven of the last 10, and are sitting in third place in the very competitive, AL East, at 38-31. They have taken Games 1 and 2 of this series. And four consecutive meetings with Detroit this season. Tarik Skubal and Michael Wacha are scheduled here. Skubal, who is 5-4 with a 3.13 ERA, has lost his last two turns, allowing nine runs in nine innings pitched. Wacha has been outstanding all season long, as the team has won seven of his 10 starts en route to an overall record of 5-1 with a 2.28 ERA. The Tigers are 1-6 the last seven meetings in Boston, 1-6 the last seven following a loss, 1-9 the last 10 versus the AL East, and 1-6 the last seven versus right-handed starters. Take the Red Sox.

They both currently possess the top-spot in the competitive, NL West division. With the All-Star break just around the corner, Los Angeles knows they need every win they can get right now. And playing Cincinnati is just what the doctor ordered to achieve their goal. The Dodgers have taken seven consecutive meetings with the Reds going back to last season. This includes all five matchups this season. They have outscored their NL rival by a combined 34-10 in 2022. This includes an 8-2 drubbing yesterday in Game 1 of this series. Today, Tyler Anderson takes the mound. The left-hander is 8-0 with a 2.82 ERA on the season, striking out 63, and walking just 11, in 67 IP. The team has won his last six turns. For the Reds, Luis Castillo gets the nod. The right-hander is 2-4 with a respectable, 3.33 ERA on the campaign. However, the team has lost his last three outings. Both on the mound and at the plate, the Dodgers rank No. 2 in the Majors. Their pitching staff has a Team ERA of just 2.90, while their lineup is averaging over 5.06 runs per game. Cincinnati is purely outclassed both on the mound and at the plate in this match up. The Reds are 0-4 the last four as an underdog, 0-6 the last six at home, and 0-5 the last five overall.

Los Angeles is currently tied with San Diego for the top-spot in the NL West and need every win they can get right now going into All-Star break. On the other hand, Cincinnati possesses one of the worst records in the Majors and continues to find new and improved ways to lose. This is a team dwelling in the Central Division cellar at 23-43, 14.5 GB, losing four in a row. The Reds have lost all four meetings with the Dodgers in 2022. And going back a little further have dropped six straight in this rivalry, 10 of the last 14 played at Great American Ball Park, and are just 12-30 the last 42 overall meetings. Tony Gonsolin takes the mound on the road. The right-hander is 8-0 with a 1.42 ERA, striking out 60 in just 63.1 IP, winning his last four turns. As a matter of fact, the team has won seven of his last eight turns. Tyler Mahle gets the nod at home. The right-hander has struggled this season going 2-5 with a 4.46 ERA. The team has lost four of his last five starts and six of his overall 10 appearances this season. Cincinnati is 0-5 the last five at home, 3-9 the last 12 versus right-handed starters, and 15-37 the last 52 versus the NL West. Take Los Angele. Thank you. |

New York Yankees. Best Bet play. Game 961. 4:10 pm pst. Owners of the best overall record in baseball, the New York Yankees come off a rare loss yesterday. The last two times they suffered a defeat, they then went on seven and nine-game win streaks. And unlike recent seasons, they are dominating the Tampa Bay Rays. New York has taken three in a row and five of seven meetings with their division rival this season. They currently possess the best scoring lineup and pitching staff in baseball. They rank in the top-10 in every major offensive category, including topping to league in scoring, OPS, and home runs. The same goes for their ranking on the mound, topping the Majors in Team ERA and WHIP. It’s no wonder Tampa Bay currently sits 13-games back in the division. They are having trouble putting runners on base and more importantly, putting runs on the scoreboard. They average a full run less per game than their opponent here today. And over their last 10 games, they have managed to score five or more runs just three times. Gerrit Cole, who beat the Rays less than a week ago, is 6-1 with a 3.33 ERA on the campaign as a team has won his last three starts. Shane McClanahan, who has respectable numbers at 7-3 with a 1.84 ERA just isn’t getting the run support. The Yankees are 20-7 the last 27 versus the AL East, 19-7 the last 26 following a loss, and 17-7 the last 24 on the road. The Rays are 0-5 the last five as an underdog, 1-5 the last six versus the AL East, and 1-4 the last five versus right-handed starters. Take New York. Thank you. |

New York Yankees. Best Bet Play. Game 915. 10:35 am pst. Well one thing seems to be sure, the New York Yankees which own the best record in baseball don’t seem to be letting their foot off their gas coming into the midway point of the regular season. The Yankees are on an eight-game win streak, which does include Game 1 of this series yesterday, 12-3. As a matter of fact, they have dominated the Blue Jays taking three in a row and six of the last seven this season. Going back a little further, they have won eight of the last 10 meetings at the Rogers Centre. Today Luis Severino gets the start. He is 4-1 with a 2.80 ERA on the campaign. And has already faced Toronto twice this season with the team winning both outings. Yusei Kikuchi gets the nod at home here. He is 2-3 with a 4.80 ERA as the team has lost his last three turns. Over his last three appearances he has lasted just 8.6 innings pitched and allowed 11 earned runs. He is in real trouble here today facing the majors top-scoring offense which also ranks No. 1 in OPS and in home runs. The Blue Jays are 3-7 the last 10 versus the American League East and 2-6 the last eight as a home underdog. The Yankees are 20-7 the 27 versus American League East, and 16- 6 the last 22 on the road. Take New York. Thank you. |

New York Yankees. Best Bet play. Game 917. 4:05 PM PST. New York has won seven straight, sweeping their last two opponents en route to the best overall record in baseball at 47-16. Toronto, which are currently 10 games back in the American League East, have been hit or miss over the last week or so, splitting out their last eight outings. Today they send Ross Striping to the hill. While the team has won the right-handers last six starts, let’s pump the brakes a bit here. The last five teams he has faced all have losing records. So, his numbers and their numbers behind him are a bit skewed. There is a big difference facing the Angels, White Sox, Royals, and Tigers and facing the Yankees. For New York, Jordan Montgomery gets the nod. He sports a 2.70 ERA as the team has won his last four turns. On a team full of outstanding starters, Montgomery has held his own. As a matter fact, in his 11 appearances this season he has never allowed more than three runs, yielding two runs or less in nine of those 11 appearances. The Yankees have taken five of the last six meetings this season against the Blue Jays. And going back a bit, seven of the last nine meetings in Toronto. They’ve also fared very well against division opponents going 19-7 the last 26 versus the AL East, 15-6 the last 21 on the road, and 37-14 the last 51 versus right-handed starters. Take New York. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. Game 527. 6:00 pm pst. Taking Game 4 and 5, the Golden State Warriors seem to come up with a recipe for success in this series. They certainly don’t want to force a Game 7. I know that a lot of people out there are looking at the Boston Celtics to get a big win here to force that final game. However, something compelling struck me looking at the statistics from the last few games. Despite the fact that Golden State shot extremely poorly from beyond the arc and was significantly out rebounded in both matchups, and they still won both. This tells me that is their playoff experience will come through here again tonight. There’s no way that Steph Curry, who by the way broke his streak of 132 consecutive playoff games with a 3-pointer made will not come out and light it up from downtown. Yes, Boston has the muscle. And they certainly have several outstanding players. But their lack of playoff experience will certainly hurt them here not to mention that momentum is against them. The Warriors are 7-3 against the spread the last 10 games as an underdog and 8-3 against the spread the last 11 games overall. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

Philadelphia Phillies on the runline. Best Bet play. Game 953. 4:05 PM PST. With All-Star break just around the corner, the Philadelphia Phillies have heated up. They know all too well that going into the break streaking will definitely give them momentum come the second half of the season. The only problem is the Atlanta Braves, which are currently in second place in the NL East, have won 14 in a row. Philadelphia has won eight of the last 10 games. Mainly due to their exploding lineup. They come into this series opener with confidence, knowing that although this is the first meeting with Washington this season, they have won eight straight against their division rival. The Nationals own the worst record in the National League. Zach Wheeler takes the mound on the road. The right-hander is 4-0 in his last five starts as a team has won five of his last six overall turns. Despite winning his last two outings, Patrick Corbin has been giving up a lot of runs. There is no comparing these two starters. Wheeler has an ERA of 2.84 on the campaign, while Corbin owns a whopping 6.65 ERA. The Phillies are 10-1 the last 11 meetings at the Nationals, 4-0 the last four during Game 1 of a series, and 9-2 the last 11 as a favorite. Take Philadelphia on the run line. Thank you. |

San Diego Padres. Best Bet play. Game 961. 5:05 PM PST. San Diego took Game 1 of this series yesterday, 4-1 to hand Chicago their seventh consecutive loss. And the Padres own the best record in the Majors, going 21-11 away from home. This includes four straight road victories. This doesn’t bode well for the Cubs, which possess the poorest home record in the National League with a 11-21 mark at Wrigley this season. During their current losing slide, Chicago has been outscored by almost 5 1/2 runs per game. Over his career, Kyle Hendricks has done well against San Diego. However, he is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA over his last three overall starts and 0-2 with an 8.04 ERA in the past three turns at home. Due to a shoulder issue, this will be his first appearance in nearly two weeks. Sean Manaea gets the start today. The left-hander has been strong this month, pitching 13 innings in two starts, allowing just two earned runs and striking out 11. San Diego is 4-0 the last four versus the National League Central, 4-1 the last five versus right-handed starters, 10-3 to last 13 as a road favorite, and 8-3 the last 11 overall. Take the Padres. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. High Roller play. Game 525. 6:00 PM PST. The winner of each game of this series has won and covered all four contests. Now going into Game 5, these two teams are clearly evenly matched. I strongly feel this matchup will be the closest and toughest fought of the series. Not wanting to fall three games to two, Boston will come out here and utilize their strengths. They are 8-1 against the spread the last nine games played on two days rest, 13-3 against the spread the last 16 games played following a straight up loss, and 18-7-2 against the spread the last 27 games played as an underdog. The Celtics will come in here and out play the Warriors physically, both on defense and in the paint. Take Boston. Thank you. |

Boston Red Sox. Best Bet play. Game 925. 7:10 pm pst. To say Boston has dominated Seattle would be an understatement. The Red Sox have taken seven consecutive meetings in this rivalry, including all five matchups in 2022. Of course, this includes a Game 1 win yesterday, 4-3. Boston is really starting to heat up winning eight of their last nine games. And today they send their best pitcher to the mound. Michael Watcha is 4-1 with a 1.99 ERA on the season. The team has won seven of his 10 starts on the campaign. Seattle is a good team. But they just can’t seem to put together any consistency. They are struggling both on the mound and at the plate. They have rookie right-hander, George Kirby starting. He is 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA this season. The Mariners are 2-5 the last seven as a favorite, 4-13 the last 17 versus the AL East, and 1-7 to last eight during Game 2 of a series. The Red Sox are 8-1 last nine on the road, 16-5 the last 21 versus the AL West, and 20-8 the last 28 overall. Take Boston. Thank you. |

New York Mets. Interleague Game of the Week. Game 931. 7:35 pm pst. With Atlanta on a nine-game win streak, New York, although currently with a 6.5 game lead in the NL East, really can use everyone win they can get right now. And playing Los Angeles will help them achieve their goal. As you know, the Angels have dropped 15 of the last 16 outings. This is a team struggling both on the mound and at the plate. Their pitching is allowing a ton of runs while their lineup just can’t seem to muster any excitement. Over the last few years, the Mets Achilles’ heel has been their hitting. Their pitching has been solid but they’re hitting just wasn’t too good. That is not the case this year. They rank second overall in the Majors, accounting for over 5.10 runs per game and top all teams in Team BA at .264. Carlos Carrasco takes the hill. He has won for straight outings en route to a 7-1 record with a 3.52 ERA. As a matter of fact, the team has won six of his last seven turns. Over his career in 11 games, which includes five starts, the right-hander is 3-0 with a 2.02 ERA against Los Angeles. For the Angels, Michael Lorenzen goes to the hill. The team has lost his last two outings as he is 5-3 with a 3.69 ERA this season. New York took Game 1 of this series yesterday, 7-3. That was the first time these two teams have met in five years. However, the Mets are 26-10 the last 36 against right-handed starters, 7-2 the last nine following a win, and 10-4 the last 14 overall. Take New York. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. Game 523. 6:00 PM PST. Whether you are a fan of the Western Conference or the Eastern conference, you must admit that this is a very evenly matched series. Two explosive offenses and two frustrating defenses. However, looking at this Game 4 matchup, I just don’t see Golden State giving this series up without a fight. They know very well that if they drop tonight’s game, it is going to be near impossible to then win three straight. I look for their third ranked defense to frustrate Boston’s top scorers, Tatum and Brown. I also look for Steph Curry to do what he does and take this game on his shoulders and soar. The Warriors are 4-0 against the spread the last four games following a straight up loss, 4-1 against the spread the last five games on one days rest, 7-3 against the spread the last 10 games as an underdog, and 6-2 against the spread the last eight games overall.

St. Louis Cardinals. National League Central Game of the Week. Game 958. 5:15 PM PST. St. Louis has dropped three in a row and yet because of Milwaukee’s six-game slump, the Cardinals sit just a half-game behind the Brewers in the Central. They know very well that with All-Star break just around the corner they have a very good chance at taking over the top-spot in the division. And hosting the Reds is just what the doctor ordered to achieve their goal. Not only is Cincinnati in last place in the division, they own the worst overall record in the National League. To add insult to injury, they have the worst road record in the Majors at 8-20 away from home. Not only do the Cardinals possess a much better lineup, they also have a top-10 pitching staff. This does not bode well for the Reds. It doesn’t matter who starts for them because they rank dead-last in baseball with a Team ERA of 5.40. Today starters happen to be Castillo and Pallante. Castillo is 2-3 with a 3.55 ERA on the campaign, while Pallante has looked extremely good graduating from the bullpen to a starter. He is currently 1-0 and 1.23 ERA. St. Louis has taken two of three meetings this season against Cincinnati. And going back a bit, seven of the last 10 overall matchups. Cincinnati owns some of the ugliest statistics in baseball going 0-4 the last four versus right-handed starters, 5-22 the last 27 road games versus teams with the winning record, and 8-23 the last 31 games as a road underdog. Take the Cardinals. Thank you. |

Game 1 of this series played on Thursday saw a total of four runs scored. As a matter of fact, coming into this matchup Pittsburgh has now played four unders in their last five games while Atlanta has played six unders in their last 10 outings. Two very strong pitchers on the mound today in Contreras and Strider. Contreras owns an ERA of 1.93 and his last three starts all went under the total. Strider has a very respectable 2.76 ERA and his last two stars have both gone under the total. I expect a low-scoring game here. Take the under. Thank you. |

New York Yankees on the run line. Best Bet play. Game 913. 4:40 PM PST. Not only did the best team in baseball take a loss yesterday, but one of the most dangerous lineups in the Majors were held to just a single run. That’s right, after winning seven in a row, the New York Yankees took an embarrassing 8-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins in Game 2 of this series. That isn’t going to sit well with this team and they will bounce back here today. Gerrit Cole takes the mound. The right hander is 5-1 with a 2.78 ERA on this season. He owns a career record of 3-0 with a 0.95 ERA in three starts against the Twins. And the team has won eight of his 11 turns in 2022. Opposing him will be Dylan Bundy. He is 3-3 with a 5.57 ERA this season, which does include a 0-3 mark with an 8.44 ERA over his past six starts. In 15 career appearances against the Yankees, which includes 12 starts, he is 2-6 with a 6.42 ERA. New York is 18-6 the last 24 following a loss, 45-15 the last 60 versus the AL Central, and 14-6 the last 20 on the road. Minnesota is 0-6 to last six following a win, 1-5 the last six as a home underdog, and 2-5 the last seven overall. Take the Yankees on the run line. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. Las Vegas Strip Move Game of the Year. Game 521. 6:00 pm pst/ 9:00 pm est. +3.5 Consensus. Wednesday June 8, 2022. Following an embarrassing Game 1 loss at home, Golden State took Game 2 of the Finals with authority. Not only did they light up a very good Boston defense for 107 points, but their defense held the Celtics to their lowest output this postseason, just 88 points. I understand that many out there subscribe to the zigzag theory come the NBA postseason. First of all, I don’t subscribe wholeheartedly to any theories or angles when it comes to sports betting. Once I look at a game from every angle, if there is a specific theory that confirms my initial feel, then I will put some stock into it. But by no means do I put stock in any one theory as an absolute. Having said that, the Warriors evened the series and now take it on the road to the TD Garden. Granted, Boston has not lost back-to-back games this entire postseason. But they haven’t faced Golden State either. While they certainly belong here, many out there are underestimating the well-balanced, well-coached Warriors squad. This is a team that possesses one of the most frustrating defenses in all of basketball. Not only that, but offensively they can score both inside and out. And unlike several of the Celtics other opponents during this playoffs season, they don’t just have a big man to shut down. The Warriors have a slew of talent. Of course, Steph Curry is the key cog in the wheel. However, Draymond Green stepped up big time in Game 2. And you can bet you’re going to see a lot more of what he did there here in Game 3. To go back to the Warriors defense, they held Brown to just 17 points on Sunday. Tatum did get his points, but the pair were surely out of sync. Other than that, Boston’s leading scorer was White with just 12 points. Every other Celtic had six-points or less. Golden State forced a lot of turnovers and that’s what they do folks. They slowed down and disrupted Boston’s flow in transition. And that’s where the Celtics have had much of their success. You can look for more of the same here. Now that the series is even, trust me when I tell you the Warriors want this win so bad to take a lead in the Finals, they can taste it. I get the number here. But making them an underdog is a gift by the oddsmakers. They are 7-3 against the spread the last 10 games played in the underdog role and 6-2 against spread the last eight games played overall. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

The Mets have done well against the Padres taking four of the last five meetings. However, this is the first matchup between these two NL rivals this season. Carlos Carrasco, who is 6-1 with a 3.63 ERA on the campaign gets the start on the road today. Opposing him will be Blake Snell, who is 0-2 with a 4.80 ERA this season. The combination of New York’s third ranked offense (5.11 RPG) and their seventh ranked pitching staff (3.59 Team ERA) it’s just going to be too much for the erratic San Diego squad to handle. The Mets are 6-1 the last seven games following a win, 5-1 the last six during Game 1 of a series, and 5-1 the last six games played versus left-handed starters, Take New York. Thank you. |

Boston Red Sox. Double Play game. Game 961. 6:35 pm pst. The Red Sox dropped two of three against the Angels in the first meeting a little over a month ago. However, these are two very different teams right now. Boston is on a four-game win streak while Los Angeles has lost 11 straight. Michael Wacha and Noah Syndergaard are scheduled starters here. Wacha, at 3-1 with a 2.43 ERA, a owns a 2-0 record with a 0.77 ERA in two career starts against the Angels. Syndergaard, who is 4-3 with a 4.02 ERA on the campaign, has faced the Red Sox three times in his lifetime, sporting a 1-1 record with a 3.05 ERA. Los Angeles it’s finding new and improved ways to lose. While their offense has accounted for just two runs per game over the last six, their pitching staff has absolutely gotten shelled, for seven runs per game during their current slide. Look for Boston to get a big win here as they are 8-0 the last eight versus the American League West, 4-0 the last four versus right-handed starters, and 4-0 the last four on the road. Take the Red Sox. Thank you. |

Now they take on a Seattle team that they have beaten four of the last six meetings this season. The Astros are near flawless over the last week, going 6-1 entering today’s matchup. Their lineup has begun to heat up while they possess one of the League’s best pitching staffs (2.93 team ERA). While the Mariners certainly have talent, they just can’t string together consecutive solid performances. They are going to have a hard time facing the powerful, Christian Javier today. In 41 innings pitched this season, the right-hander has a 2.41 ERA, striking out 52 and only walking 15. Opposing him will be the shaky, Robbie Ray. The right-hander is struggling. He has lost his last three starts allowing 11 earned runs in just 17 IP.

Golden State Warriors. NBA Finals Game of the Year. Game 520. 5:00 pm pst. My friends, make no mistake of it, Boston dominated Game 1. They came in with a game plan, executed it, and took a very crucial road victory. Well, Golden State desperately needs to win Game 2. Not only to even up to series, but to establish their presence in this matchup. This isn’t the “due-for” factor or the “zig zag” theory. This is logic. The Warriors have not lost back-to-back games this postseason. As a matter fact they have not dropped two games in a row in over two months. In the series opener, Golden State only shot 44% overall from the floor, 42% from beyond the arc, and only went to the free-throw line 15 times, making 11 out of 15 free throws. They also allowed Boston to put up 120 points. That has only happened twice this entire postseason. And they faced some very good offenses. You can expect both teams to be basically at full force in this match up. Anyone that can suit up and play, will suit up and play. Having said that, look for the Warriors to make their shots on offense, play a little more physically, go to the line and make their free throws, and do what they do defensively. And that is to frustrate opponents’ offenses. There is no way Steve Kerr, Steph Curry and company will drop a second game at home and go down two games to zero in the series. They are also 5-1 against the spread the last six games played following a straight up loss, 4-1 against the spread the last five games played at the Chase Center, and 5-2 against the spread the last seven games played overall. Take the Warriors. Thank you.

New York Yankees on the run line. Best Bet play. Game 968. 10:05 am pst. New York has won four row and eight of their last 10 resulting in the best overall record in baseball. My friends, they are not winning by accident. They own a top-five offense and the second-ranked pitching staff in all of baseball. They have taken three or four meetings this season with Detroit. Mind you each of those three victories have come by no less than two runs. As a matter of fact, overall, they average almost 2 runs more a game than the Tigers and allow a full run less a game. They took Game 1 of this series yesterday hammering Detroit 13-0. Facing Luis Severino, who is 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA on the season, is going to be impossible here. The RH owns a 3-1 record with a 2.52 ERA at 6 career starts against the Tigers. And comes off one of his poorest performances as far back as I can remember. He will bounce back here, make an example of the lackluster Detroit lineup, while the Yankees powerful batters do the rest. The Tigers or 0-4 the last for meetings in New York.

And in no sport does this ring truer than in baseball. The Toronto Blue Jays have won eight in a row with a combination of an exploding lineup and solid pitching. During their current win streak, they are outscoring opponents by an average of three runs per game. Today they send Yusei Kikuchi to the hill. The left-hander is 2-1 with a 3.48 ERA on the campaign. And over his career in three starts, he is 1-0 with a 2.12 ERA against the Twins. While Minny is still holding a small lead in the American League Central division, they are certainly sputtering. They have dropped three in a row and seven of their last 10 contests. And they’re starting to have trouble when they travel going just 1-4 the last five on the road. Today they send Chi-Chi Gonzalez to the hill to make his Major League season debut. He hasn’t pitched at this level in quite a while. In 61 Major League appearances, which includes 47 starts, he is 9-24 with a 5.64 ERA. Minnesota is 1-6 the last seven as an underdog while Toronto is 5-0 the last five as a favorite.

Golden State Warriors. NBA Finals Game 1 Winner. Game 518. 6:00 pm pst. There is no question both of these teams belong here. But there are certainly more than a few advantages on the side of the Warriors. First of all, they’re playing at home where they sport a 39-10 SU record this season. They have also covered four straight at the Chase Center. Next, they had a few extra days to rest, heal, and prepare for the Championship series. And lastly, which I feel is the most important, this is a whole different monster of an opponent than the Celtics have faced in the playoffs. In the first several rounds, Boston had to deal with very good opponents. But each of the opponents have one main player they had to contain. That is not the case here. Golden State is chock-full of talent. And they can beat you both inside and out. Not only that, but an enormous amount of the Celtics success comes in transition. They are excellent in transition. However, they will not have that same opportunity here in this match up with the Warriors. Golden State owns one of the nastiest, most frustrating, and well-disciplined defenses in the NBA. They can swarm you man-to-man, they can play zone, they are excellent on the boards, they can steal the ball, they can create turnovers, and they can force a lot of mistakes. There is one more major factor here in the first game of the NBA finals that significantly benefits the Warriors. Their players have a lot more postseason experience. They don’t rattle very easily in big game situations. Obviously, the Celtics have played well. They got to the Finals. But they certainly have some cracks and the Warriors can and will exploit those cracks. Boston is 2-5-1 against the spread the last eight games following a straight up win. Golden State is 5-1 against the spread the last six games overall. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

Houston Astros on the runline. Triple Play. Game 917. 12:37 pm pst. Houston has certainly begun to separate themselves from the rest of the American League West. They have won three in a row to give themselves a five-game cushion in the division. The team is doing it behind a steadily improving offense and some great pitching. On the other hand, Oakland just keeps sinking further and further into the abyss, dropping seven of their last 10 to drop them into the division cellar, 13 GB. Justin Verlander is 6-2 with a 2.03 ERA on the campaign. And in 24 lifetime starts against the A’s, he owns a 14-7 record with a 2.90 ERA. Cole Irvin is 2-2 with a 3.15 ERA on the season. The team has lost his last three starts and over his career is 0-3 with a 7.40 ERA in four turns against the Astros. The Oakland pitching is bad enough, but their hitting has been absolutely deplorable ranking 29th, and averaging a mere 3.37 runs for game. Houston has taken four consecutive meetings in this rivalry and 10 of the last 14 overall meetings at RingCentral Coliseum. They are also 12-3 the last 15 vs. the American League West, 24-7 the last 31 on grass, and 21-7 the last 28 overall. Take the Astros on the run line. Thank you. |

Milwaukee Brewers. BEST BET play. Game 957. 5:05 pm pst. Right now, there is no team in the National League Central division playing as well as the Milwaukee Brewers. They sit atop of the division with a four-game lead at 32-18. They are winning both at home and on the road. Speaking of being on the road, they took both games of a doubleheader on Monday against the Chicago Cubs. They have now taken five of the last six meetings in this division rivalry. They have dominated Chicago taking nine of the last 11 in Wrigley Field and 20 of the last 26 overall matchups. The Cubs has sunk to fourth place in division, 12 games back at 19-29. With a combination of an erratic offense and just a horrible pitching staff, Chicago has fallen way short of expectations this season. Eric Lauer is 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA while Justin Steele is 1-5 with a 5.40 ERA. This game will get ugly. The Brewers are 6-2 the last eight on the road, 4-1 the last five vs. LH starters, and 19-7 the last 26 vs. the NL Central. Take Milwaukee. Thank you. |

Tampa Bay Rays. AL Game of the Month. Game 925. 5:05 pm pst. Coming off back-to-back victories against the Yankees, the Rays are very excited to head to Globe Life Field where they are 10-4 the last 14 meetings with the Rangers. Today’s matchup is all about the starting pitching. Drew Rasmussen is 5-1 with a 2.68 ERA and Glenn Otto is 2-2 with 4.91 ERA are scheduled here. Rasmussen has worked at least five innings in each of his last six starts. And the team has won eight of his nine starts this season including seven straight. Tampa Bay is also 4-1 the last five vs. RH starters, 9-3 the last 12 vs. the AL West, and 19-8 the last 27 as a road favorite. Take the Rays. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. Game 509. 5:30 pm pst. Boston had a chance to finish off the series at home on Friday. The Celtics are no stranger to winning under pressure in the postseason. If you recall they took the final two matchups with the Bucks to take that series. Both teams have a few players listed as questionable here. However, Miami’s injuries are a little more significant. With Lowry and Herro being the most important. As of post, reports are that Lowry, hampered with a hamstring issue will play. And most likely, Herro, dealing with a groin issue, will not. Check status on both as these are just early morning reports. Through their 17 games played this playoffs campaign, the Boston Celtics have never not covered back-to-back games. For our purposes this is huge. Look for The Boston scoring leaders, Tatum and Brown to take this came on their shoulders and light up to scoreboard. The Celtics are 4-1 against this spread the last five games played at the FTX arena, 6-0 against the spread the last six games played following a straight up loss, and 6-1 against the spread the last seven games played as a road favorite. Take Boston. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. NL WEST GOM. Game 909. 4:45 pm pst. Los Angeles is clearly the best team in the National League with a record of 31-14. They are just as good on the road as they are at home. And when they play within their division, they are crushing opponents. The Dodgers own a 36-15 record the last 51 games vs. NL West foes. They have dominated Arizona taking six in a row and seven of nine overall meetings this season. Going back a bit further they’ve won 14 of the last 19 meetings at Chase Field and 41 of the last 55 overall meetings. Tony Gonsolin is 4-0 with a 1.62 ERA this season. Merrill Kelly is 3-2 or 3.49 ERA this season. The big difference is the Dodgers have won three of Gonsolin’s last four starts while the Diamondbacks have lost three consecutive starts Kelly has made. Look for Los Angeles to continue their domination of Arizona and win big here. Take the Dodgers on the run line. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. High Roller play. Game 955. 1:05 pm pst. With yesterday‘s 9-4 victory, the Dodgers have now taken eight consecutive meetings with the Nationals. José Urias has done well when facing the Washington lineup, with a 2-0 record and a 2.66 ERA with 17 strikeouts, and only four walks in five career appearances (four starts) in 23 2/3 innings pitched against them. When hosting this season, Washington is absolutely horrible, possessing the worst home record in all of baseball, dropping 17 of 22 at Nationals Park this season. Both on the mound and at the plate, the Nats are significantly outclassed here. Look for things to get worse for the team. They are 8-23 the last 31 meetings with Los Angeles at home, 3-9 is the last 12 vs. the NL West, 6-20 the last 26 home games vs. LH starters, and 11-43 the last 54 games as a home underdog. Take the Dodgers on the run line. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Dodgers on the run line. Home Run play. Game 905. 4:05 pm pst. Los Angeles took Game 1 of this series yesterday routing Washington, 10-1. That victory gave the Dodgers their eighth consecutive win over the Nationals. Overall, they have won eight of their last nine outings while the Nationals have dropped 12 of their last 17. Playing at home is a nightmare for Washington, as they possess the worst home record in all of baseball going a dismal 5-16 at Nationals Park this season. Things are going to get worse for them here today as they face a Los Angeles team that ranks number one overall both at the plate and on the mound. Take the Dodgers on the run line. Thank you. |

New York Mets. National League Game of the Month. Game 961. 6:45 pm pst. New York has taken three of four meetings with San Francisco this season. Not only do the Mets have an eight-game lead in the NL East, but they are also one of the best road teams in the National League, sporting a 15-7 record away from home. The Giants are on a four-game slide and have Alex Cobb on the mound today. For New York, David Peterson gets the start. Between the combination of the San Francisco lackluster lineup and their horrible bullpen, look for New York to take another big win here today. The Mets are 21-6 the last 27 games vs. RH starters, 10-3 the last 13 games vs. teams with a winning record, and 8-3 the last 11 games vs. the NL West. Take the Mets. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. Slam Dunk Game of the Year. Game 563. 6 pm pst. Taking Game 1 and 2 of this series at home, the odds makers are looking to beat you here. But we aren’t going to fall for the trap as the Warriors have won and covered three straight in the postseason. Their frustrating defense along with their very deep, talented, and experienced bench and crafty team, is just too strong in the series for Dallas to handle. Giving them points here is a huge mistake. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

Over in the Heat/Celtics matchup. Best Bet Total. Games 551/562. 5:30 pm pst. Despite both the Heat and the Celtics possessing top-five defenses, both Games 1 and 2 of this series have gone over the total. Game 1, Miami came out and just dominated. Game 2, Boston made some adjustments with the addition of some players that were injured in the previous game and dominated there. There will obviously be more adjustments made in Gam3, however no matter how good these defenses are, their offenses superstars will shine here again. Nine of the last 12 overall meetings have got over the total including four the last five matchups in Boston. The over is also 8-1 in the Heats last nine vs. teams with a winning record and 9-2 and the Celtics last 11 vs. teams with a winning record. Take the over. Thank you. |

Tampa Bay Rays. AL East Top-Rated play. Game 971. 4:05 pm pst. Tampa Bay seems to have a bit of a strong hold at the moment on second place in the American League East. And after winning at least 10 straight games in this division rivalry, including an early April sweep, the Rays dropped game 1 of this series yesterday in extra innings. Look for them to bounce back today with a vengeance and prove a point. They are 12-2 the last 14 meetings in Baltimore and 43-13 the last 56 meetings overall. Jeffrey Springs gets the road start. He is 1-1 with a 1.66 ERA on the campaign. Getting the nod at home is Kyle Bradish. He is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA thus far. Look for Tampa Bay to get a little payback here today and further strengthen their standing in the division. They are 4-1 the last five games vs. RH starters, 6-2 the last eight games as a road favorite, and 53-23 the last 76 vs. the American League East. Take the Rays. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. Game 648. 6:00 pm pst. The Dallas Mavericks are a very good team. However, they lose a little something when they travel. And let’s be honest, the Golden State Warriors defense is absolutely outstanding. Andrew Wiggins handcuffed Luka Doncic in Game 1 as good or better than we’ve seen anybody defend the forward this season, holding him just 20 points and seven rebounds in the series opener. The Mavericks have trouble when they travel. Not just straight up, but against the spread as well as they are 1-4 ATS their last five games played on the road. On the other hand, the Warriors have really turned it up the ladder half of the season and in the playoffs. They have won all seven postseason games played at home in 2022, going 5-2 against the spread. Overall, this team is 8-2 ATS the last 10 games played at the Chase Center. Dallas will make some adjustments at the start of this game but so will Golden State. The Warriors are just going to be kryptonite for the Mavericks in this series. Particularly here at home where they know they need to take another victory before Game 3 on the road. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. Game 543. 5:30 pm pst. Both teams were missing some key players in the Game 1 match up. However quite a few things went wrong for Boston. This is a team that owns the NBA’s number one scoring defense, and yet they allowed the most points this postseason in Tuesday’s match up. While Al Horford is listed as doubtful here, Marcus Smart, they’re defensive key, is listed as probable. That will be big for Boston here. The Celtics cannot afford to go down two games in this series. Look for NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Smart (check status) to return here and make an impact right away, thus allowing the Celtics to succeed in transition and allow superstars Tatum and Brown to shine. Boston is 4-0 against the spread the last four games played following a straight up loss, 7-1-1 against the spread the last nine games played as underdog, and 19-7-1 against the spread the last 27 games played on the road. Take the Celtics. Thank you. |

Dallas Mavericks. Western Conference Finals Game of the Year. Game 539. 6 PM PST/9 PM EST. I’m not looking to take away anything from the Golden State Warriors series win over the Memphis Grizzlies. But their opponent was without superstar Ja Morant for a few contests. The Dallas Mavericks got better as the series with the Phoenix Suns progressed. Their offense was on-fire while their defense really stepped up to hold the Suns powerful “O” intact the last several games. The Warriors are an excellent team and certainly deserve to be here. However, the Mavericks own a frustrating defense overall and particularly from beyond the arc where Golden State excels. Looking at the health of both teams, Dallas is quite a bit healthier as they’re only listed injured player is Hardaway Jr. On the other hand, the Warriors have several guys, significant cogs in the wheel, that will be missing here or at the very least, banged-up. This was evident recently where they struggled to cover the spread. They are just 3-5 their last eight games against the spread these playoffs. They haven’t exactly been blowing away opponents. On the other hand, The Mavericks covered four of their last five coming into the Western Conference Finals. And this season have had their way in this Conference rivalry winning and covering three or four meetings with Golden State. Going back a bit, they are 6-1 against the spread the last seven meetings in Golden State and 7-3 the last 10 overall meetings with Golden State. The Warriors are 0-5 against the spread the last five games played following a straight up wind. This is way too many points to give the very scrappy, Dallas team. Take the Mavericks. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. Game 535. 5:30 PM PST/8:30 PM EST. Well, it is without question that both of these teams deserve to be here. However, looking at the postseason you can’t argue the fact that the Celtics have beaten better opposition. Very quietly, Boston owns the number one ranked defense in all of the NBA. The Celtics are chock full of two-way players. While both teams have a few question marks and maybe a player out, I do believe the Heat is going to severely miss Kyle Lowry in tonight‘s matchup. Boston took two of three meetings this season with Miami, both straight up and against the spread and are an overall 13-6 against the spread the last 19 meetings in Miami. They also happen to be one of the best teams in the NBA when traveling, going 19-6-1 against the spread the last 26 games played on the road. Take the Celtics. Thank you. |

New York Yankees on the run line. Grand Slam winner. Game 971. 4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST. New York continues to win no matter the opponent. They took Game 1 of this series yesterday, 6-2 to now take four consecutive meetings with their division rival and overall five of the seven matchups this season. With a combination of an explosive lineup ranking third in scoring and first in home runs, and the number one ranked pitching staff in all of the Majors, the Yankees are just piling up victories. Meanwhile, Baltimore just keeps thinking further and further into the abyss. They are currently 12 1/2 games back of New York in the American League East dropping four straight games. James Taillon (3-1, 2.93 ERA) has won his last two starts while the team has won his last five starts. This includes two turns against the Orioles. Spenser Watkins (0-1, 5.19 ERA) comes off his worst outing of the campaign, yielding seven runs on eight hits and lasting just 3.2 innings less than a week ago. The Orioles ranked 29th in scoring as well as being in the bottom third of just about every offensive category. When you average a mere 3.22 runs per game, you just can’t compete with a team like the Yankees. New York is 26-9 the last 35 meetings in Baltimore, 9-0 the last 11 on the road, and 8-1 the last nine versus the American League East. Take the Yankees on the runline. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Angels. AL West GOW. Game 921. 5:05 PM PST/8:05 PM EST. It’s very simple for the Angels, just possess a top-five pitching staff along with a top-five lineup and you will start piling up victories. Los Angeles has won seven of the last 10 and are currently tied with Houston for the top-spot in the division. The Rangers, on the other hand rank in the bottom third both on the mound and at the plate. The only thing consistent about the Rangers is their inconsistency. The Angels have taken the last three meetings this season with their division rival and going back a ways, they have taken seven of the last 10 at Globe Life Field. Noah Syndergaard and Jon Gray are scheduled starters. Syndergaard is certainly more reliable and without a doubt, more durable. Los Angeles is 5-1 the last six games played on the road, 5-1 the last six versus right-handed starters, and 5-1 the last six versus the AL West. Take the Angels. Thank you. |

New York Yankees on the runline. Grand Slam play. Game 915. 4:05 PM PST/7:05 PM EST. New York is off to one of their best starts in franchise history. They sit atop the American League East with a 4 1/2 game cushion at 25-9. They send Luis Severino to the hill. The right-hander, who is 2-0 with a 4.08 ERA on the season, has dominated Baltimore in 11 games (nine starts) throughout his career. He is 6-1 with a 3.59 ERA with 58 strikeouts and only 15 walks in 57 2/3 innings pitched against them. The Yankees have taken four of six meetings with their division rival this season and overall have taken 25 of the last 34 in Camden Yards. The O’s rank 29th offensively, averaging just 3.26 runs per game. They just cannot compete with the mighty Bronx Bombers lineup averaging nearly 5 runs per game. Take New York on the runline. Thank you. |

San Francisco Giants. MLB BEST BET. Game 901. 11:15 am pst. San Francisco has won six consecutive games including Game 1 of this series yesterday, by a score of 8-2. The Friday victory gave the Giants three straight wins over the Cardinals this season. With a combination of erratic hitting and poor pitching, St. Louis has now dropped five of their last six outings. Starters today are Junis and Hudson. It really doesn’t matter who’s on the mound today as the Giants have outscored opponents 49-20 during their current win streak. San Francisco is 8-2 the last 10 versus the NL Central while St. Louis is just 1-5 the last six versus right-handed starters. Take the Giants. Thank you. |

Texas Rangers. Home Run play. Game 968. 4:10 PM PST. I don’t know if there’s another American League team as disappointing as the Boston Red Sox. Dead-last in the American League East, 12 games back, with a dismal record of 11-20. Their pitching has been bad enough. But they’re hitting is absolutely nonexistent, ranking 28th, and averaging just 3.45 runs per game. Let’s go back to the pitching. Nick Pivetta starts today. The right-hander is 0-4 with a 6.08 ERA on the season. This includes a 0-2, 5.52 ERA mark in three road starts on the campaign. The team has lost all six of his appearances in 2022. He is just horrible. He must face a Texas Rangers team that is starting to show signs of life recently, winning seven of their last 10 outings. The Red Sox are 1-4 the last five games played at the Rangers, 1-5 the last six games played versus the AL West, and 1-6 the last seven games played overall. Take the Rangers. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. Game 515. 4:30 pm pst. A team with their back to the wall is a very dangerous team. Facing elimination tonight, the Boston Celtics and their league-leading defense will keep their postseason hopes alive with a big outright win here. If Boston goes with a bigger lineup, they can match Milwaukee down low. If they go to smaller lineup, they will do what they’ve done to every other opponent this season, and that is to frustrate them. They have a smart head coach who will rotate his players when needed. Please remember that the Celtics are 5-0-1 against the the spread the last six meetings at the Bucks and an overall 9-2-1 against the spread the last 12 overall meetings versus the Bucks. Moreover, this is a team that is excellent on the road going 18-7-1 against the spread last 26 games played away from home, 8-2 against the spread the last 10 games played following a straight up loss, and 15-5-2 against the spread the last 22 games played as an underdog. Take a Celtics plus the points. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. Game 509. 6:30 PM PST. Just about everyone in the world thought Golden State would have it an easy time of it in the Game 4 meeting with Memphis minus Ja Morant. Despite the Grizzlies going 20-5 straight up minus their star guard during the regular season, in all sincerity most of those games were against sub .500 teams. And yet we’re back to the fact that the Warriors should’ve had a picnic on Monday. Believe it or not even experience veterans like Steph Curry and company could enter a match up overconfident. That’s exactly what happened in the 101-98 win and no cover in the last contest. With that in mind and the opportunity to close the series out, you can be sure Golden State will do just that. They won’t take Memphis lightly tonight and they will close out to series. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |
