I'll be playing on the Houston Astros tonight for a couple reasons. One, I see this World Series going back and forth. Both teams have a lot of fight and are very evenly matched, so with the Dodgers winning game one (which I took) I'm jumping sides to the Astros to even the series. Two, Verlander is exactly the type of guy you want in your corner down 0-1 in the biggest Major League Baseball event. You can just tell he's up for the challenge and will be ready to go - now 9-0 since being traded. Even in his press conference today he talked about complete focus in tonight's game, thinking about what pitches to make in between innings. The Dodgers with Rich Hill on the mound will relax a little too much and will be playing a defensive game, meanwhile the Astros will be on the offense throughout. Houston Astros moneyline |

If the Dodgers have any chance in winning the World Series, Kershaw needs to secure the win tonight considering it is a 2-3-2 series. I expect a big performance out of him this evening and in the event they go to the bull pen early the Dodgers are in pretty good hands. The Dodgers' bullpen didn't allow a hit in 29 at-bats in the National League Championship Series against the Cubs and has a 0.94 ERA this postseason. We saw in the New York series, Houston struggles on the road and in outdoor stadiums. Keuchel is an ace, but we'll rely on the home crowd and superstar Kershaw as the edge this evening. A couple early hits and/or runs will get the crowd into it. They've been waiting since 1988 so there's certainly anticipation. Los Angeles Dodgers moneyline |

Wednesday night at Progressive Field, the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians will play a winner take all Game 5 in their American League Division Series. Last week I took Kluber and got lucky because it was his counterpart Sabathia who got the best of him, but tonight Kluber gets to exact revenge albeit the Indians winning in miraculous fashion last time. Kluber is built for the spotlight and the odds of him having two bad games in a row would be very surprising. The likely hood that Sabathia doesn't have a repeat good performance is equally as good. Combine them both and I can't not side with the Indians here tonight. Looking at the overall picture between these two teams, this is Cleveland's year, not New York's. Yes the Yankees did some good things, but overall the Indians deserve to advance and I think they find a way to do so tonight. Cleveland Indians on the moneyline |

Ricky is riding the Kluber train today. Lights out in the Regular Season, Kluber and his 18-4, 2.25 ERA will take the mound for the Indians in game 2. His counterpart being CC Sabathia at 14-5, 3.69 ERA. Don't let CC's numbers fool you, he's no longer what he once was and he got a lot of bullpen help to secure 14 wins. Now 37 years old, he hasn't pitched in the Postseason since 2012. It should be noted that Indian batters have fared well against him (last in Aug of 2016). Kluber on the other hand has been fanning Yankees batters all season long and historically. Kluber is extremely clutch and plays up to the moment. Meanwhile CC is capable of horrendous outings at any given time. Despite the high juice, I believe there is value here up until -300.

NYY has the better starting pitcher and are at home. Homefield is not always that important in MLB during the regular season, but here we are talking about a single elimination game. The Yankees finished 51-30 at home this season, the Twins were 44-37 on the road. The Yankees are rolling as of late, Severino having the better K/BB ratio and he blows Santana away in the ground ball department. Overall NYY has a much better pen in the event this game gets drawn out. In individual player/position matchups, the Yankees are player for player better than the Twins.

The Dodgers (92-47) have been downright awful of late, losing 11 of their past 12 games, including the past six in a row, a season-worst skid. The one victory in the Dodgers' past 12 games ended a five-game losing streak. The Dodgers have lost 10 1/2 games off their National League West lead in 12 days. The Rockies do not figure to take Kershaw lightly, even though he just missed 5 1/2 weeks of action. Rockies starter Jon Gray has faced the Dodgers once this season, giving up one run on four hits over 5 1/3 innings of an April 8 no-decision. He is just 2/3 against Los Angeles in his career over seven starts, producing a solid 3.75 ERA in 36 innings. The price is right for a shot at what is now near +300 odds!

09-07-17 | Indians v. White Sox +243 | 11-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
At +240 or above, tonight we take a shot on the Chicago White Sox at home to upset the streaking Cleveland Indians looking for their 15th straight win. The White Sox (54-84) will send left-hander Carlos Rodon (2-5, 4.15 ERA) out for his 13th start since returning from the 60-day disabled list on June 28. He had been sidelined due to left biceps bursitis. The 24-year-old has struck out 10 or more batters three times this year and has registered a total of 76 in 69 1/3 innings. Rodon settled for a no-decision against Cleveland when he allowed one run and six hits with nine strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings on July 30 and is a solid 4-1 with a 2.34 ERA in 10 career appearances (nine starts) versus the Indians. White Sox are 4-1 in Rodon's last 5 home starts and are 18-8 in Rodons last 26 starts with 4 days of rest. We are not going to pretend to dig up bad stats on Kluber, we all know he is great. But everyone is capable of having an off night. The price is right. Chicago White Sox on the moneyline |

09-04-17 | Blue Jays +155 v. Red Sox | 10-4 | Win | 155 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
The Jays are certainly in a funk as of late, but are we to believe they are simply going to lose out? After getting swept by the Red Sox last week in Toronto, expect the Jays to play some competitive ball in this series. You know they'll want to turn it around today against rival Boston and a road game setting is the perfect opportune time. With Happ on the mound he may be the answer as he held Boston to one run on four hits and four walks over six innings of a no-decision on Wednesday. Meanwhile the stage is set for payback as Porcello won in Toronto last time out, allowing just one run in 6 2/3 innings for his fifth victory in six turns and fourth quality start in five outings. At +155 the price is right. Toronto Blue Jays moneyline |

09-04-17 | Giants +162 v. Rockies | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 52 m | Show | |
Purely a situational play against the struggling Rockies, however at +162 it's really not a bad bet regardless. At that price I'll take a shot against Colorado who are losers of four straight at home and are in danger of losing their Wild Card position having lost 8 of their last 10. Giants starter Chris Statton was subbed in late for Matt Moore, however he's been superb as of late. Over 27.2 innings pitched he's had 29 strike outs to only a single home run good enough for a 1.95 ERA. Chad Bettis on the other hand has been getting roughed up as of late, 4.88 ERA over his last 5 outings with only 15K's to 5 home runs. San Francisco Giants moneyline |

08-30-17 | Pirates +186 v. Cubs | 3-17 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
Yes the Cubs are playing good ball right now, but are we to believe they are going to continue to sweep home series after home series? I'll play the numbers game in this spot and side with the Pirates to steal a game. Being a divisional series I never bet on the sweep. Being already down 2-0 in this three game series, now would be the opportune time for Pittsburgh to get a win. With the large dog odds and the situational angle as discussed, the timing is right.

08-30-17 | Rangers +180 v. Astros | 8-1 | Win | 180 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
After demolishing Houston last night 12-2 in the 1st of three neutral site games (Tropicana Field), we'll stay with the Rangers tonight to score the upset win over Keuchel and the Astros. Purely a situational play against the misfortune of this disbanded Astros ball club after the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey and them have to scramble to play else where during a 6 game home stand. The odds are too good to pass up with everything that's happened as of late. We only hope that we weren't too late to the fade party and that it carries over more then one game. Texas moneyline |

08-28-17 | A's +152 v. Angels | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
The A's continue to play the spoiler roll after 3 game weekend sweep of the Texas Rangers. Now they enter another 3-game series on the road versus the Angels with exceptional value at over +150 in game 1. Too much to pass up. In addition to the great line value, the pitching matchup is actually in the A's favor. Starter Daniel Gossett has turned in some good performances this year despite a 3-6 record. In his last two games he's 1-0 (one no-decision) with 11K's over 12 innings of work and he's 2-0 in three road starts since July 9th. The A's have beaten the Angels in their last two outings. Andrew Heaney is very inexperienced with only 10 innings under his belt this season. In the two games he's played he has two no-decisions and has allowed 9 runs and has a 8.10 ERA as a result. Oakland A's on the moneyline |

08-28-17 | Pirates +151 v. Cubs | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
At +150 odds, this a no brainer attempt on the Pirates. They've 7 of 12 against the Cubs already this season (including the past two in Chicago) and are coming off a series win against Cincinnati this past weekend, which will bode well for confidence coming into this matchup. Meanwhile the Cubs just lost their most recent series against the lowly Phillies - a sign they will most likely come back a bit in the NL Central after being on a heater prior. Pittsburgh now only 7 games back and they can close the gap in this division series today by one game at a time. The pitching matchup favours the Pirates as well. Cubs starter Mike Montgomery is not a regular starter (his last prior to last week was on July 19th). Pirates starter Trevor Williams is very consistent and capable of shutting teams down. His last start on July 23rd against the powerhouse Dodgers, he pitched 8 scoreless innings! Look for him to build on that and prove that wasn't a fluke. Pittsburgh Pirates on the moneyline |

08-27-17 | New York Mets - Game #2 +170 v. Washington Nationals - Game #2 | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 28 m | Show | |
After stealing Game 1 from the Nationals earlier today, the Mets look for a repeat performance in Sunday's Game 2. The +170 are attractive enough up against a team who has fared well above average with the amount of injuries they currently have. Game 1 was a sign of things to come for the Nationals will likely come back a little in the National League East. Starter Seth Lugo is a capable pitcher and will look to get things back on track making his first appearance since Aug. 11. Tanner Roark on the other side has been hot as of late, but his 10-8 record is certainly indicative there is room for error. Take a shot on the underdog today. New York Mets moneyline |
|||||||
08-27-17 | Brewers +185 v. Dodgers | 3-2 | Win | 185 | 1 h 44 m | Show | |
The Brewers will look to steal the 3-game series today with Jimmy Nelson (9-6, 3.79 ERA) hurling against Yu Darvish (8-9 3.83 ERA). At +185 odds it's certainly worth a shot here today. In fact the Brewers are a pretty good bet on the road overall at 32-33. Obviously it will be a tough task, however we should note that Darvish will be playing his first game since missing his last start with lower back stiffness and the Brewers are pretty hot right now winning 8 of their last 11 games.

08-24-17 | Yankees v. Tigers +103 | 6-10 | Win | 103 | 16 h 57 m | Show | |
Back from DL, Detroit starter Michael Fulmer seems to have not lost a step. In his first game back on Saturday he held the league leading Los Angeles Dodgers to zero runs over 7 innings. Now he sets his sites on America's team the New York Yankees and he'll try and help avoid the series sweep. Fulmer has pitched 152 1/3 innings, and he hopes to reach the 200-inning threshold this season. "I feel a lot better at this point this year than I did last year at this point in the season," he said. "It's a tribute to the training staff and the strength and conditioning coaches, just to get my body ready to throw 200 innings. Garcia (5-8, 4.52 ERA overall) will be making his fourth start for New York since he was acquired from the Twins for two minor league pitchers on July 29. He pitched only one game for Minnesota after spending most of the season with the Atlanta Braves. He is 0-1 with a 6.32 ERA since joining the Yankees, though he has given up three earned runs in each of his past two outings. At home and with their backs against the wall staring at a 0-3 series sweep, they find a way to get it done today. Detroit Tigers moneyline |

08-23-17 | Nationals v. Astros -160 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros have lost 2 straight games and just 7-13 this month after an amazing first half of the season. Now they find themselves on the verge of losing this 3-game series to the Washington Nationals unless they win the next two. In fact the Nationals have dominated them as of late - 7-0 in the last 7 meetings in Houston. The bad news for the Nationals is that you know the Astros are more then aware of this all and will be playing 'A' level ball today to try and right the ship. Don't forget the Astros are 36-17 in their last 53 games following a loss. With their back up against the wall, today they find a way to get the W and snap that streak.

08-23-17 | Blue Jays -111 v. Rays | 7-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
The Jays come into this game having lost 4 straight and are quickly falling out of the AL Wild Card race - now 6 games back. With ace Marcus Stroman (11-6 2.99 ERA) taking the mound, a win is a must. He'll likely only have a few more starts this regular season, so the time is now. What better way to jump up in the standings then to beat the team just two games ahead of you in the same division. Stroman's last win came against this very same Rays ball club, so you know he'll be out to prove he can do it again; a great game he had last time out with only 2 earned runs with 7 strike outs in a 3-2 victory. The Blue Jays are 4-1 in Stromans last 5 starts vs. American League East and are 8-2 in Stromans last 10 starts on astro turf. Rays starter Austin Pruitt (6-4 5.37 ERA) is 0-2 and 1 no-decision his last three games, including getting rocked for 6 earned runs and 11 hits over 7 innings in his last start versus the Mariners. Not normally a ball park where the Jays fair well, today they get the job done. Toronto Blue Jays on the moneyline |

08-23-17 | Diamondbacks -164 v. Mets | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -164 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
Ricky is siding with the visiting team here due to an overwhelming pitching mismatch. We've been riding Zack Godley a lot lately and for good reason. Over the last 5 games the Diamondbacks ace brings a 2.64 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP with 35K's and only 4 home runs. Godley has pitched a 122 innings this season and is enjoying his best year to date - now his third year. Mets starter Chris Flexen, a rookie this year, has pitched only 22 innings in his major league career and has a 6.55 ERA and a 2.00 WHIP. In his last outing he pitched 5.1 innings earning a loss with 5 hits and 3 earned runs with only a single strike out. With Arizona currently holding down one of the NL WC spots, every game counts here on out. Arizona Diamondbacks on the moneyline |

08-22-17 | Nationals v. Astros -170 | 4-3 | Loss | -170 | 23 h 16 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros are now 76-48 on the year. Their opponent today the formidable Washington Nationals who are 74-48 on the year. Despite similar records, the difference today is home field advantage, starting pitching, and injuries. All three in favour of the Astros. Tanner Roark (9-8 4.70 ERA) is a good pitcher, but it's asking a lot to go into Minute Maid Park and pull out a W with half of your offensive lineup not in tact to back you up. Not to mention very few on the Nationals have ever played in this ball park, as this is an inter-league game and they last faced off in 2014. As well, it doesn't help that the Astros lost their most recent game at home and will be looking to rebound at the expense of the Nationals; the Astros are 36-16 in their last 52 games following a loss. Starting pitcher Charlie Morton continues to impress - a total of 9 earned runs over his last 6 starts - he's striking batters out at a very high rate: 51K's over his last 7 starts. Morton has a 2.53 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP over his last 5 games. Health is certainly in the Astros favour with more pieces coming back every day (Correa), while Washington is still nursing with Werth, Harper, Turner, and several others still out.

08-22-17 | Blue Jays v. Rays -190 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 22 h 17 m | Show | |
Despite decent pitching outings as of late, Chris Archer has come away empty handed going 0-1 with two no decisions in his last 3 starts. Yet he's allowed only 7 earned runs in those three games combined and has struck out 25 batters along the way in only 18 innings of work. And guess who his most recent start, a no-decision, was against? Yep.. the Toronto Blue Jays. This situation sets up perfectly for Archer and the Rays. They are back at home against the same ball club which stole 3 of 4 from them just last week, including Game 4. Archer gets to set the tone of this series by pitching in Game 1 and he'll be gunning for a W. You know the Rays will be hungry to exact revenge today against a ball club continuing to struggle on the road; 0-4 in their last 4 road games. Additionally, Jays starter Chris Rowley has never pitched outside of the Rogers Center in the majors. Expect some nerves for his first road game and for Rays batters to go after him having seen him for the first time ever last week in the closing game. Tampa Bay Rays moneyline |

08-21-17 | Minnesota Twins - Game #2 -124 v. Chicago White Sox - Game #2 | Top | 10-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
A clear pitching mismatch and two teams going in opposite directions has Ricky siding with the Minnesota Twins in Game 2 today. This being Carson Fulmer's first start of the year for the White Sox, expect some nerves and a few too many wild pitches in order to secure the W. His last 4 minor league games: 22IP/31H/15ER/24K/7+ERA. In 2016, in MLB, he's gone 16IP/14H/7ER/14K/8.48ERA. Additionally he walks a lot of batters. Dillon Gee on the other hand pitched excellent his last time out in relief (2.2IP/1H/2K/0ER) and has zero earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. This game means more to the Twins then it does to the Chi Sox. Minnesota Twins moneyline (2nd game) |

08-21-17 | Mariners -109 v. Braves | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
The Mariners are right in it for the 2nd AL Wild Card spot, so expect a complete team effort today versus a struggling Braves team. Mariners pitcher Andrew Albers was great in his first start earning a 3-1 win while pitching 5 innings with 4K's and only 1 walk. I expect him to be motivated to work off of that success and pitch well today. Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz has been clobbered as of late, allowing a whooping 14 runs over his last two starts - both losses. I don't see him turning it around today and it does help that Alonso, Haniger, Seager, Segura, and Zunino have all seen Foltynewicz before. Seattle Mariners moneyline |

08-20-17 | Blue Jays +183 v. Cubs | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
Outstanding value at +183 here today for the Jays. Toronto will look to escape their trip to Chicago with a single win here on Sunday - expect full effort from their entire lineup including starter Marco Estrada. Estrada is 6-1 with a 3.62 ERA in 17 career appearances against the Cubs, including nine starts. Despite giving up 6 earned runs vs the Rays in his last start, Estrada had given up only 6 total runs in his previous 4 starts and will be motivated to return to form today. Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks (3.45 ERA and 1.26 WHIP) may get the slight node with better numbers between the two starters, but he hasn't secured a win in his last 7 starts and will face a hungry Jays lineup today with their backs up against the wall. The sweep is easier said then done, the Blue Jays are 19-7 in their last 26 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Play on the Toronto Blue Jays moneyline |

08-20-17 | Indians v. Royals +136 | 4-7 | Win | 136 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
Cleveland has been red hot as of late, but Ricky foresees the Royals to avoid the home sweep today and win the final game of this series. And at +136, we are getting great value here. Quickly falling back in the standings, the Royals will be playing with a sense of urgency today and what better way to rebound then to win the final game of a series. Starting pitcher Jason Hammel (4.74 ERA 1.36 WHIP), has pitched into the sixth inning in 13 of his 14 turns since the start of June. Hammel won both of his previous starts versus the Indians this season, posting a 2.84 ERA and holding Cleveland to a .178 batting average. Cleveland starter Danny Salazar (3.92 ERA 1.31 WHIP) is no slouch, allowing only 6 runs in his last 7 starts - but only 2 of those games ended up in wins. This is a tough situation for Salazar - pitching on the road in a potential series sweep game against a team desperate for a win. Expect a ruckus home crowd and a motivated Royals lineup to get after the Cleveland ace early. Pride will play a key factor in today's game as the Royals will fight to avoid a home sweep at the hands of the Indians. Play on the Kansas City Royals moneyline |

08-20-17 | Mariners v. Rays -138 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
Ricky sees great value on the home team Rays today, look for 2nd year 6'4" left Black Snell to surprise the Mariners today. The Rays have lost eight of nine and 12 of 15, and they'll hope to rally Sunday around left-hander Blake Snell who scored his first victory of the season last time out vs Toronto. But don't let Snell's 1-6 season record sway you here, the 24-year-old pitched better in his previous start while holding Cleveland to one run and four hits across 6 1/3 frames, but settled for a no-decision. Expect defensive focus and a motivated starting pitcher to play a key part in today's game. Seattle turns the ball over to Yovani Gallardo who got lit up his last game out in 3-11 game to the Baltimore Orioles, giving up 8 earned runs and two home runs over just 4 innings. But that's no fluke outing, Gallardo has a 6.75 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP over his last 24 innings, with only 15K's to 8 home runs! Tampa is desperate to get back into the AL East playoff race and you'll see it here today. Play on the Tampa Bay Rays moneyline - Ricky's top play of the day! |

08-19-17 | Nationals v. Padres +153 | 1-3 | Win | 153 | 2 h 45 m | Show | |
Ricky's underdog value identification continues tonight with the San Diego Padres to upset the Washington Nationals. Steven Strasburg's first game back in nearly a month (26) days. Expect some nerves and rust to play a part this evening, and a few balls that hang over the plate for Padres hitters to go yard on. The Padres have nothing to lose at this point in the season and look to play the spoiler role and evaluate talent. At +153 while at home against a pitcher coming off the injured list and against a Nationals squad which is very banged up in general, this certainly is value enough to play on the underdog.

08-18-17 | Indians v. Royals +182 | 10-1 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
Ricky is taking a shot here on the Kansas City Royals at home up against the Cleveland Indians. I am situationally capping this game and here are the factors involved. 1. Great odds. The Royals who are fighting hard to earn a Wild Card birth are being given outstanding odds in this match, especially for a home game - Ricky locked his in at +182! So with the mentality that every game here on out counts, this is a great opportunity to score a plus odds win. It's games like these where you have a chance to defeat another teams' best pitcher, which can propel a team to further success. 2. Division game. The Royals are in 2nd place in the AL Central to guess who? Their opponents the Cleveland Indians. Enough said right there, but to top it off the Royals are 10-1 in their last 11 vs. American League Central. 3. Home field. Kansas City has one of the very best home field advantages in the majors. Even more so when it's a night game. Expect a packed house on Friday night. 4. Pitching. Yes the Indians have Corey Kluber on the mound, but this always brings out the A game out of the opposing team when on the road. The Royals will be motivated to get after Kluber and knock him down a peg. For the Royals they are going with Ian Kennedy who's coming off a quality outing stricking out 7 with only 1 walk and allowing 3 runs. The Royals are 4-0 in Kennedy's last 4 starts vs. American League Central. The Indians are 0-6 in Klubers last 6 road starts vs. Royals. 5. Travel. 8 straight games on the road for Cleveland with their 9th being in Kansas City on Friday. The Indians had to play a double-header on Thursday due to a recent cancelled game and I wouldn't expect them to get into Kansas City until very early the next day - expect heavy legs and bats. Meanwhile the Royals had the day off on Thursday and have been resting up at home and will be ready to kick off this 3-game series on the right foot. Play on the Kansas City Royals moneyline |

08-18-17 | Blue Jays +165 v. Cubs | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
This is Game 1 of three game series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Chicago Cubs. Normally when you see Cubs Jake Arrieta as the scheduled starter you are thinking Cubs m/l or Cubs r/l, but in this situation we can't pass up the generous odds being offered on a hot and motivated Jays ball club. Toronto just completed a 10 game home stand winning 7 of those games, including their final game on Thursday. They are now neck and neck with Baltimore in the AL East and are now only 3 games back in the Wild Card hunt. Besides coming in riding a high, some of their key players are really heating up. Jays starter on Friday, J.A. Happ, is 3-0 L3 with a 1.45 ERA (1 run scored in each game) and a 1.18 WHIP. Josh Donaldson, who struggled earlier in the year due to injury, hit 7 home runs during their recent 10 games at home. Thursday's hero was Justin Smoak who blasted a 2-run shot in the bottom of the 8th to break a 3-3 tie and seal the game 5-3. It was Smoak's 33rd home run on the year. Toronto is starting to come alive at the right time of year and could very well surprise a sluggish Chicago Cubs team how got drilled for 13 runs in a loss at home on Thursday to the lowly Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs are no where near who they were last year. A case of a World Series hangover perhaps. Losers of 10 of their last 16 games, their healthy NL Central lead is shrinking. Yes Arrieta is pitching for the Cubs on Friday, but even Happ has a better ERA then him on the season (3.63 vs 3.73) and Arrieta is only 12-8 W/L. In fact, Happ has more strikeouts and less home runs given up over less innings than Arrieta does over their last 5 games combined. - Blue Jays are 8-1 in their last 9 interleague games vs. a right-hander.

08-16-17 | Rays v. Blue Jays -137 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 23 m | Show |
Toronto starter Marcus Stroman is 10-6 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. Very good numbers overall, but you get the feeling he just hasn't quite performed how he would have liked up to this point. I like him to finish the year strong, especially with the Jays chasing a Wild Card spot with several teams to leap frog for that to be a possibility. Stroman knows the importance of every game here on out and you can expect a motivated outing this evening. Tampa Bay starter Jacob Faria seems to be trending in the opposite direction. A season long ERA of 3.19 and a 1.19 WHIP, his last 5 outings have seen him go 1-3 with a 5.08 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP, including 15 walks. Stroman comes in with only 1 win in his last 6 starts, so you know he'll be gunning it tonight and will be backed up by a very healthy Jays lineup who's hungry after an unexpected loss last night to the same ball club. Blue Jays are 8-3 in Stromans' last 11 starts following a team loss in their previous game. Blue Jays are 6-0 in their last 6 games following a loss. Blue Jays are 4-0 in their last 4 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.

Angels starter Ricky Nolasco (5-12, 5.24 ERA) will oppose Washington right-hander Tanner Roark (9-7, 4.74), who has not faced the Angels since 2014. With the Nationals winning game 1 of this short 2 game series, the Angels will be motivated to get the split today with a quick turn around game after a late one on Tuesday. Situations like these favour the team who lost Game 1 and it also helps that the Nationals aren't playing for nearly as much on the line as the Angles who are fighting for a playoff birth. As well the injury bug has plagues the Nationals; their Opening Day outfield is now on the disabled list: center fielder Adam Eaton (went on the DL on April 29 with a left knee strain), left fielder Jayson Werth (June 5 with a left foot contusion), and Harper (Sunday with a hyperextended left knee). Angels are 6-1 in their last 7 overall. Angels are 7-2 in their last 9 games vs. a right-handed starter. Nationals are 1-4 in Roarks last 5 home starts. Angels are 4-1 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. Nationals are 0-5 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. Los Angeles Angles on the moneyline |

08-14-17 | Giants v. Marlins -130 | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 29 h 55 m | Show | |
Ricky likes the Marlins in this matchup. They are building swag ever since the Derek Jeter ownership announcement last week and it doesn't hurt to have the home run leader Stanton smashing balls out of the park each game it feels like - now 42 on the year. A quality starter in Miami pitcher Adam Conley, he's not had his best season but his ERA of 5.43 is hovering above his average his average of the last two years - 3.80. He's well on the way to making that happen averaging 3.48 ERA over his last 5 starts including a 1.42 WHIP. Opposing starter Ty Blach has won his past two games, but that is a rarity with the Giants with the season they are having. Expect the Stanton effect to hurt him today. The Giants are again on the road after playing 3 games in Washington in less than 24 hours. Expect tired bats and for Conley to round into form. Miami Marlins moneyline |

08-12-17 | Indians v. Rays -136 | 3-0 | Loss | -136 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
Despite struggling as of late, the Tampa Bay Rays find themselves only a half game back on the 2nd wild card spot in the American League and win here today would help them tremendously. Every game here on out counts and they can't afford to give any games away especially when at home and when sending their #1 pitcher in Chris Archer to the mound. Archer understands the significance of this game and every game here on out, he was quoted as saying, "The goal whenever you go out there is not to give up any runs. There's always work to be done, but we're keeping our team in the game, giving our bullpen a chance to keep it close. I'm happy but not satisfied.". Expect a quality outing today out of Archer who has been on fire as of late striking out 42 batters over his last 31 innings with a 3.19 ERA. On the other mound is Mike Clevinger who has struggled in his last two starts, giving up 10 earned runs in 7 1/3 innings. He was temporarily shifted to the bullpen but will return to the rotation Saturday. It's unfortunate Rays All-Star Evan Longoria may not be able to play due to a thumb injury, but it may not matter as Clevinger has a 5.75 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over his last 5 games. Â With their backs up against the wall today, we are siding with the Tampa Bay Rays on the moneyline. |

I found this to be a very fair price for the home team A's after losing Game 1 of this four game series last night. Ubaldo Jimenez will toe the rubber for the O's. He's simply not what he once was, currently 5-7 6.31 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP on the year; and winning only 1 game in his last 5 starts. The A's counter with Paul Blackburn, the right hander has a very respectable 2.60 ERA on the year with an impressive 1.07 WHIP. He's won his last 2 starts, including a shut out last game 5-0 on the road vs. the rising Angels. The Athletics are 8-3 in their last 11 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Orioles are 11-23 in the last 34 meetings in Oakland and 1-10 in their last 11 Friday games. As well, the O's are 10-21 in this current situation (Night, Grass, Away) and this will be their 5th straight road game in as many days. Oakland A's moneyline. |

08-11-17 | Pirates v. Blue Jays -145 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -145 | 21 h 23 m | Show |
The Jays are starting to build a little swag as of late, winning 2 of 3 over the Yankees including a 4-0 shutout last night versus Sonny Gray. Their blown Game 3 in Houston last week may have done more good than bad it seems. Now that they are home for an extended period of time (10 total games), their goal will be to win each series and that means they can't afford to give away Game 1 versus the Pirates with Marcus Stroman (10-5 3.17 ERA 1.33 WHIP) taking the mound. Stroman plays with a lot of emotion and fire, and it will help him that this is a Friday night game in Toronto with a massive home crowd on hand. Stroman’s last eight starts at Rogers Centre the Blue Jays are 7-1 and his numbers have accounted for a big part of that with a 2.32 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. He often plays off the crowd and situation more than the average pitcher, so the fact that this is game 1 of a 3 game series they know they need to win, expect a very solid outing from him this evening. Despite Morales being out sick toinght, the Jays are relatively healthy and the bats are starting to come alive. Bautista has had b2b home run games, look for him to go yard again tonight. Besides the Jays team motivation and ace pitcher on the mound, the Pirates are starting slumping Jameson Taillon who is 1-3 with a 9.64 ERA and a 1.93 WHIP over his last 5 games. Toronto Blue Jays moneyline. |

Ricky foresees the battle of Missouri evening out and with a +120 range available on the Kansas City Royals he's going all-in on these dog odds. Take Kansas City on the moneyline. The Royals have been getting the short end of the stick in this series, but I like tonight's starter for Kansas City. Trevor Cahill done well to have a winning record (4-3, 4.13 ERA) at this point in the season. That's particularly true because most of his starts came with the offensively challenged Padres. Mike Leake is a hard luck guy, who doesn't seem to win even when he does pitch well. He hasn't looked good lately with just one win in his last six starts. I expect KC to get to a struggling Mike Leake here in tonight's contest. |

08-08-17 | Yankees +117 v. Blue Jays | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Ricky took the Yankees to win both the final two games against Cleveland in their last series and as clients know Ricky had identified a turning point for the Yankees at that time - one which hasn't yet come to an end. Ricky sees a playoffs motivated Yankees team coming into Toronto tonight to take on a frustrated down-and-out Jays team after they blew back to back games against the Astros. Looking at tonight's pitchers, we have an interesting matchup between two veterans in CC Sabathia and J.A. Happ. The sport near identical season ERA's with the edge going to Sabathia at 3.81, yet their records are nearly opposite 9-4 for Sabathia and 4-8 for Happ. Looking at both their last 5 games, CC has a 1.38 WHIP vs. 1.61 for Happ. Happ is 2-6 over his last 8 starts. Beyond the situational aspect of this game and even the pitchers for that matter, this game should be a pick'em 100%. Yes the Jays are at home and may come out playing like their backs are against the wall, but the Yankees have finally broken through their scoring slump putting up 8 on the road against the Indians last game. These are two teams going in opposite directions, so are you to tell me that this game isn't conceivable equal in the sense both teams can win? And because of that with the books offering nearly 20 cents on the dollar, the underdog is a must take. That is the essence of sportsbetting in a nutshell - if this game would to be played an infinite amount of times in this same situation, what would be the win %'s for each? In my opinion it would be very near 50/50, so for that reason you take the free money and bet on the underdog. Yes Ricky may not win every game, but over time as he continually finds these oddsmaker errors, the profit scale tips in his and his clients favour.  New York Yankees on the moneyline. |

Ricky got word where the steam money would be going and quickly released his signature 'Syndicate Steam' play for his clients. As predicted, sharp money came in on the Saint Louis Cardinals after they opened as underdogs and they are now as high as a -128 favourite. Ricky jumped on this game knowing the value on the line, but also due to the situational advantage he believes favours the Cardinals. The Cards come into this 4-game battle of Missouri quietly under the radar. Currently on a 2 game win streak , Ricky believes they've turned a corner and will make a serious playoff run going forward. Their win yesterday really set the tone as they smashed the Reds 13-4, including a grand slam from Jose Martinez. After the game, Jose was quoted as saying, "Today was a good day to build a little more confidence in ourselves. We needed a day like this to give us a read that we can do this." In addition to coming into this game feeling confident, the Cards were finished their game yesterday prior to Kansas City finishing their 1st game of the double header day. So they've had this game on their minds for well over 24 hours, where as Kansas City wouldn't have started to get game focused until they woke up today and arrived at the stadium. As well, the Royals have won the past two games against the Cards (both in Saint Louis), so that should add fuel to the fire for the Cards today. On the mound for the Cards is Carlos Martinez who's struck out 15 batters in his last two games compared to Ian Kennedy's 16 over his last four games. Martinez is the more aggressive pitcher of the two and is 7 years younger at the prime age of 25. Martinez owns a solid 3.59 ERA on the season compared to Kennedy's 4.60 ERA. Cardinals are 27-11 in the last 38 meetings in Kansas City. Take the Saint Louis Cardinals on the moneyline. |
