08-25-22 | White Sox v. Orioles +105 | 3-4 | Win | 105 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles. I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. The Orioles have looked really good in their games lately, winning 2/3 of their previous 3 games. They lost to the White Sox 5-3 last night but they started to come back late in that game and they didn't look terrible in it either, with plenty of chances to score but just couldn't bring in the runs. The White Sox haven't looked any better in their games lately though, winning last night but losing 2 in a row and 5/6 of their previous 6 games before that. I think the Orioles are going to bounce back in this home game and I see the Orioles taking the series here since they have been the hotter team lately. Lance Lynn (3-5, 5.30 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he hasn't looked good in his few starts this year. He has looked good in August but I don't expect that to continue since he hasn't been great all year and has had a ton of starts where he gives up 5+ runs in the game. He has even faced the Orioles lineup back in June and he gave up 6 runs in that game while pitching almost 7 innings. The Orioles have been putting up runs in their games lately and I expect them to put up a ton of runs on Lynn here. Jordan Lyles (9-9, 4.61 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked great this year, giving up 4 runs in both of his previous 2 starts, but he doesn't really give up more than that in a start often and his team has had a lot of success with him starting over the last 2 months, winning a majority of those games with him starting. His team always gets up for him when he starts, putting up 7+ runs in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts, and I expect the offense to show up with plenty of run support for him in this game. I like the Orioles to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Orioles. |

08-25-22 | Guardians -110 v. Mariners | 1-3 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. The Guardians have looked really good in their games lately, winning 2 games in a row now and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They just swept the Padres in a 2 game series in San Diego and I expect their success out West to continue in this game. The Guardians pitching has been great in their games lately, they haven't given up more than 2 runs in 3/4 of their previous 4 games and I think this is going to be another game where their pitching is great. The Mariners haven't looked great in their games lately, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games but they have also been losing to some really bad teams. Their last 2 series saw them losing a 3 game series to the A's and splitting their most recent series with the Nats, 2 teams who both have some of the worst records in the league this year. Marco Gonzales (8-12, 4.08 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he hasn't looked great in his starts lately. He only gave up 1 run in his most recent start but he had 3 starts in a row right before that and 5/6 starts where he gave up 3+ runs in the game, and a majority of those starts saw him give up 5+ runs. He isn't pitching well at the moment and I don't see him shutting the Guardians here who have been hot lately. Triston McKenzie (9-9, 3.11 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked great in his starts all year. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 3 starts in a row now and that has been a common theme for him all year since he hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts. He had a great July and continued that in August, I see him shutting down the Mariners here since their offense hasn't been great lately and I see them catching the Mariners while they still aren't playing well. I like the Guardians to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Guardians. |

08-24-22 | Blue Jays -150 v. Red Sox | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. The Blue Jays have looked really good in their games lately, winning 5/6 of their previous 6 games. Their offense has looked a lot better in these games since they have been putting up a ton of runs lately, and I expect that to continue here. The Blue Jays were dominant over the Red Sox the last time they were in Boston, sweeping the 3 game series and outscoring the Red Sox 40-10 in that series. That dominance continued last night with another 9-3 win for the Blue Jays and I think they are just going to keep rolling here. Not only is their offense starting to wake up now, but their pitching has been a lot better in their games lately too. They have only had 2 games in their previous 6 where they gave up more than 2 runs in the game, giving up 3 runs and 4 runs in the other 2 games, but I expect them to pitch another great game here like they have been lately. Jose Berrios (9-5, 5.39 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he hasn't looked great in a lot of starts this year but, he has looked really good in some of his starts and just had another like that where he bounced back only giving up 1 run in almost 7 innings. He has also seen the Red Sox lineup 2 times this year and he didn't give up more than 2 runs in either start while pitching 6+ innings in both. I expect him to shut down the Red Sox here since they haven't looked great in their games lately, and their offense hasn't been producing much at all either. Brayan Bello (0-3, 8.47 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has been struggling a lot in his rookie year here, not looking too good in a majority of his starts. He has given up 4+ runs in more than half of his starts this year and he hasn't pitched more than 4 innings in any of them either. He left the game in his most recent start back on August 3 and hasn't pitched since then, now making his 1st start since that injury. I don't see him pitching well against a hot Blue Jays lineup in his 1st start back from injury and the only time he has seen the Jays this year was in his worst career start. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Blue Jays. |

08-23-22 | White Sox v. Orioles UNDER 7.5 | 3-5 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: White Sox/Orioles UNDER. I am on the under in the Chicago White Sox vs Baltimore Orioles game on Tuesday. The White Sox haven't looked great in their games lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 games, but I expect them to pitch better in this game. Their offense hasn't looked great in these games lately, putting up 2 runs or less in 2/3 of their previous 3 games, and this has been an ongoing issue for them since they haven't put up more than 5 runs in a game in 8 games in a row now. I don't see their offense playing any better here on the road but they do have their ace starting here and I expect him to step up with a good performance to shut down the Orioles and give his team a chance to win here. Dylan Cease (12-5, 2.09 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked great in his starts all year. He just gave up 3 runs in his most recent start, but that was also against a very good Astros lineup who have one of the best offenses in the league. He still pitched well in that game only giving up 3 runs in 5 innings, and he made 14 starts in a row right before that where he didn't give up more than 1 earned run. I see him bouncing back here against an offense that isn't as strong and I expect him to shut down the Orioles since his team needs a win badly to stay in this Wild Card race. Austin Voth (3-1, 4.86 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he looked terrible as a reliever earlier this year but he has been a lot better ever since making the switch to a starter, and he hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any of his starts this year. He just had a start where he pitched 6 scoreless innings against the Jays and he hasn't given up more than 3 runs in 11 starts in a row, which is all of his starts this year. The White Sox offense hasn't been anything special lately and I see Voth shutting them down here as he continues to pitch well. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 White Sox. |

08-22-22 | Marlins v. A's +128 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletics to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. The A's have looked a lot better in their games lately, winning 2 games in a row now and 4/6 of their previous 6, they even won their series against the Mariners over the weekend. Overall, their pitching has looked pretty good over the last week too, other than 2 bad games they had where they gave up a ton of runs, they haven't really given up more than 3 runs in a majority of their games over the last 2 weeks. I think this is going to be another game they pitch well in and I don't see the Marlins putting many runs up on them here with how bad that offense has been lately. The Marlins have looked terrible lately and I don't see them playing any better here still on their road trip out West. They have lost 4 games in a row now, getting swept by the Dodgers over the weekend, and they only put up 4 runs total in those 3 games while giving up 7+ runs in 2 games in a row. Pablo Lopez (7-8, 3.83 ERA) is up for the Marlins here but he hasn't looked that good in his starts lately. He just had a terrible start in his last where he gave up 6 runs, and he has given up 4+ runs in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts now. He has been getting hit a lot in these games too and the A's offense has been getting a lot better over the last few weeks, I see them putting up runs on the Marlins here at home. Adam Oller (2-5, 6.63 ERA) is up for the A's here and he had a very rough start to his rookie year here but he has looked a lot better in his starts lately, and I see him continuing to pitch well in this game against this bad offense. He has not given up more than 2 runs in 2 starts in a row now and he faced 2 good lineups in those games, I expect him to keep that up here with this bad Marlins offense. I like the Athletics to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Athletics. |

08-21-22 | Cardinals -125 v. Diamondbacks | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The Cardinals have looked really good in their games lately, winning 6 games in a row and I expect them to get the sweep here. It's not just 6 wins in a row for them now, they have been really hot over the last few weeks and are really starting to surge toward the playoffs. The Brewers had the division lead for a good majority of the year but the Cardinals have looked so good lately that they have passed the Brewers for the division lead and now have a 5 game lead over them. I think the Cardinals are going to continue to stay hot here and I don't see their offense slowing down either with the number of runs they have been putting up lately. They have put up 10+ runs in 2/3 of their previous 3 games and I expect their offense to carry them in this game too. The D-Backs really haven't looked great in their games over the last week, and their offense is not putting up a ton of runs either, even in the games they are winning. Jose Quintana (4-5, 3.98 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked good in his starts this year. He was giving up a ton of runs in one stretch of the season but he was also on a very bad team then and he has looked a lot better in his starts since coming to the Cardinals. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any of his starts with the Cardinals and he has done that in 5 starts in a row now, going back to his days on the Pirates. I expect him to continue pitching well here and shut down this D-Backs offense that hasn't looked great lately. Merrill Kelly (10-5, 2.81 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he has looked good in his starts this year and lately, but he also hasn't seen any strong lineups lately and this Cardinals offense is really hot right now putting up a ton of runs. Kelly has had some bad starts against good lineup this year where he gives up a ton of runs and I think this is going to be one of those starts with the Cardinals as hot as they are. I don't see their offense slowing down here and I expect them to put up runs on Kelly here while Quintana shuts the D-Backs lineup down. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Cardinals. |

08-20-22 | Red Sox v. Orioles UNDER 8.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Red Sox/Orioles UNDER. I am on the under in the Boston Red Sox vs Baltimore Orioles game on Saturday. These 2 teams opened this series with a very high scoring game, the Orioles winning it 15-10. The bullpens were not even bad in that game though as a majority of the runs were given up by the starters and the score was already 15-9 Orioles by the 5th inning. I think this is going to be a let down spot for both teams after a high scoring game like that, and I expect their bats to be a lot quieter in this game. I don't see either team getting that many hits or runs in this game and I expect both starters to be on their A-game here after that bad pitching performance by both teams yesterday. Michael Wacha (7-1, 2.44 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He doesn't really give up more than 2 runs in a start often, he just came back from an injury that kept him out all of July but he has already put up a performance of 7 scoreless innings in his 1st start back and that was against a good Yankees offense. He hasn't faced the Orioles lineup this year yet but I expect him to continue pitching well here like he has been all year, and I see him shutting down the Orioles here and stepping up when his team needs a good start badly. Kyle Bradish (1-4, 6.38 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked great in his rookie year here, but he has been getting a lot better and hasn't looked as bad in his starts lately. He was giving up a ton of runs in his starts when he 1st came into the league but he has been dialing that back a lot and hasn't given up more than 3 runs in a start in his previous 4 starts. He has looked really good since coming back from his injury and has actually been a better pitcher with much better numbers on this side of his injuries compared to before. He has seen the Red Sox lineup 2 times this season, 1 start where he gave up 6 runs and 1 start where he only gave up 2, but I expect him to be better here like he has been lately and I don't see the Red Sox touching him for many runs here. I expect both of these offenses to have a let down here after last night's game where they put up all those runs, and I expect the starters to step up and be much better for their teams here too. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Red Sox. |

08-19-22 | Red Sox v. Orioles -105 | 10-15 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles. I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Friday. The Orioles have lost 2 games in a row now but I expect them to bounce back in this game. The Red Sox were looking good for a bit but they have died back down again and the Orioles have looked really good in their home games all year. The Orioles are 10+ games above .500 in their own ballpark this year and I see them winning this game. The Red Sox just lost 8-2 to the Pirates yesterday and I think they have lost a lot of their momentum now, I expect to see them starting to fade again since they haven't been a good team for a majority of the year. Kutter Crawford (3-4, 4.18 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. He has given up 7 runs total in his 2 most recent starts and I don't see him doing any better here with the Orioles hitting the ball well lately. He has seen the Orioles lineup 1 time this year and it was earlier in the season when he was still pitching in the bullpen as a reliever, but he came in and gave up 2 runs against the Orioles without getting a single out. I think the Orioles are going to put up runs on him here with him starting and staying in the game even longer this time. Jordan Lyles (9-9, 4.48 ERA) is up for the Orioles this year and he has looked good in a majority of his starts this year, not giving up too many runs in a lot of his starts. He gave up 4 runs in his most recent start but I expect him to bounce back at home here and he hasn't looked bad against the Red Sox this year either. He only gave up 4 runs total in 10 innings against the Red Sox this year and I expect the Red Sox offense to continue struggling here like it did yesterday. I like the Orioles to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Orioles. |

08-18-22 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -136 | 9-2 | Loss | -136 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees. I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. The Yankees haven't looked good in their games lately but they finally broke out of their funk with a win over the Rays last night, and I think they are going to carry that momentum over into this game. They have been a great team in their own ballpark all year and I expect that to continue here since the Blue Jays haven't looked that great in their games lately either. Jose Berrios (8-5, 5.61 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he hasn't looked good in his starts as of late. He just gave up 8 runs in his most recent start and he has given up 5+ runs in 2 starts in a row now. That has been a common theme for him all year though, giving up a ton of runs in a lot of his starts. The Yankees offense finally looked good again last night and I think this is another game they can spark their offense in and put up some runs on Berrios here with how bad he has looked lately. Frankie Montas (4-9, 3.59 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has looked a lot better than Berrios has all year but Montas is also starting to look better in his starts lately. He gave up 6 runs in his 1st start as a Yankee but he bounced back last time, giving up just 2 runs in 5 innings against the Red Sox, and I see him bouncing back again to pitch an even better game here. I like the Yankees to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yankees. |
|||||||
08-17-22 | Dodgers -165 v. Brewers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. The Dodgers lost to the Brewers yesterday after beating them 4-0 on Monday, but that was a very close loss yesterday losing 4-3 in the 11th inning, and the Dodgers still scored in that 11th inning but the Brewers scored 2. I think the Dodgers are going to bounce back in this game though and I expect them to get back on track here after such a close loss yesterday. Tony Gonsolin (14-1, 2.24 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has been great all year. His record and ERA alone speak for themselves but he hasn't given up many runs in a majority of his starts this year, I expect him to pitch another great game here. He has been great in August with 2 starts of 5+ innings under his belt and he has only given up 1 run total between those 2 starts. He hasn't seen the Brewers lineup yet this year but they haven't been hitting that well lately and even in their win yesterday, they didn't put up a lot of runs to get that win. I don't see the Brewers putting up many runs here on Gonsolin with the way their offense has been lately. Eric Lauer (8-4, 3.64 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he hasn't looked that great in his starts this year. He just gave up 3 runs in his most recent start and he hasn't been a terrible starter this year giving up a ton of runs, but he has been consistently giving up runs in his starts and I see him getting into trouble here with this Dodgers offense. Even in yesterday's loss every time the Brewers took a lead, the Dodgers came right back the next inning but this is a game I'm expecting Gonsloin to shut down the Brewers offense in and I see the Dodgers taking an early lead here and not looking back. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Dodgers. |
|||||||
08-16-22 | Mets +137 v. Braves | 0-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets. I like the New York Mets to win this game against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. The Mets have looked really good lately, winning 8/10 of their previous 10 games. They just lost to the Braves yesterday though, losing that game badly 13-1, and I expect the Mets to bounce back here with a win. The Mets have one of the best records in the league after a loss this year and they have also looked really good against division rivals all year. The Braves have looked good in their games lately but they also haven't had as tough a schedule as the Mets during that time, and I see the Mets bouncing back after a bad loss like that since they have been doing that all year. Taijuan Walker (10-3, 3.43 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He did have a really bad start the other week giving up 8 runs, but he bounced back in his most recent start and really hasn't given up more than 3 runs in a majority of his starts all year. That bad start where he gave up 8 runs was against the Braves just over a week ago, but that was his worst start all year and I don't see that happening again here since Walker will work hard to pitch a much better game this time and I see him bouncing back here. Charlie Morton (5-5, 4.26 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. Morton has been great throughout his career but he is having a really bad year and he has been consistent with his poor pitching all year. He had another start in his most recent one where he gave up 5 runs and he has done that in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts now. He hasn't pitched well in his starts against the Mets this year either as he has seen them more than once and has given up a ton of runs in all of those starts. I think the Mets are going to put up runs on him again in this game and I see them bouncing back after that bad game yesterday. I like the Mets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mets. |
|||||||
08-16-22 | Red Sox -133 v. Pirates | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The Red Sox have looked a lot better in their games lately, winning 3/4 of their previous 5 games. They just won their most recent series against the Yankees over the weekend and their pitching has been really good lately. They only gave up 4 runs total in that series with the Yankees and I expect them to continue pitching well in this series against a terrible offense here. The Pirates have looked really bad this year and their offense has been terrible in their games all year. They have lost 4 games in a row now too and I expect them to continue in their slump here, losing another game to the Red Sox tonight. Nick Pivetta (8-9, 4.51 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked great in a lot of his starts lately, but he has been giving up less and less runs each start lately and I expect him to bounce back in this game getting back to his early season form. He hasn't given up more than 4 runs in 4 starts in a row now but he has been facing some decent lineups during that time, and I expect him to pitch a lot better against this bad lineup. Mitch Keller (4-8, 4.25 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he hasn't looked great in a lot of his starts this year. He hasn't been terrible lately but he has still been up and down in his starts as of late, giving up 3+ runs in some starts and 1 or less in others, but I think the Red Sox are starting to get a bit hot now and I see them putting up runs on Keller in this game. They will also have some confidence after their series win against the Yankees and I expect that momentum to carry over into this game after the day off they had to get some rest. I like the Red Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Red Sox. |

08-15-22 | Orioles +141 v. Blue Jays | 7-3 | Win | 141 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles. I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. The Orioles haven't looked good lately with 2 losses in a row now and they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games, but I expect them to bounce back here with a win in Toronto. The Blue Jays haven't looked any better in their games lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 games, and 2 of those losses were in a 2 game series against the Orioles last week that they were swept in. Their offense has looked terrible as of late, putting up no more than 2 runs in 3 games in a row now, even the game they won, but I don't see their pitching being good enough in this game to win another here like that with no offense. Yusei Kikuchi (4-6, 5.13 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has looked terrible in a majority of his starts all year. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year and he just had another bad start in his most recent where he gave up 5 runs, and that start was against the Orioles last week. I think he is going to have another bad start here and he always gets his team into a hole early where they have to play the rest of the game from behind and with the way this offense has looked lately, I don't see the Blue Jays coming back here. Kyle Bradish (1-4, 6.42 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked that great in his rookie year here but, he has looked a lot better in his 3 starts since coming back from injury and hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any of those starts. He only gave up 3 runs against the Blue Jays last week and I expect him to continue getting better in his starts, shutting down the Jays here with that cold offense as of late. I like the Orioles to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Orioles. |
|||||||
08-15-22 | Padres -133 v. Marlins | 0-3 | Loss | -133 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. The Padres made some huge trades at the deadline looking to really improve their team and compete with the Dodgers in their division. They got off to a really rough start after bringing in all those players but they have started to figure things out and have looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games now and their offense has looked a lot better in those games, putting up 6+ runs in their 4 wins. I think they are going to have another great offensive game here now that they have been rolling and I see them outscoring the Marlins heavily here since their offense has looked terrible lately. The Marlins have lost 4 games in a row now and 6/7 of their previous 7 games, and they haven't been putting up many runs lately either. They haven't put up more than 2 runs in 3 games in a row now, and they haven't put up more than 3 runs in 15 games in a row either. I don't think this offense can compete with the Padres the way they are playing lately and I see the Padres blowing the Marlins out here now that they are rolling. Joe Musgrove (8-5, 2.91 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has looked really good all year. He had a rough stretch in July but he has bounced back in his most recent start, pitching 7 innings and only giving up the 1 run, and I see him continuing to pitch well here as he shuts down this bad offense that isn't doing much as of late. Sandy Alcantara (10-5, 2.01 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has also looked really good this year but hasn't looked great in his starts lately. He has given up 4+ runs in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts and both of those starts were against teams with really good offenses, which the Padres have here. I see him giving up runs to the Padres here and I expect them to continue on their run here. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Padres. |
|||||||
08-14-22 | Mariners v. Rangers UNDER 7.5 | 3-5 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mariners/Rangers UNDER. I am on the under in the Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers game on Sunday. Neither of these teams have been involved in many low scoring affairs lately but I like the pitching matchup for both teams here and I expect this game to be a low scoring one as it turns into a pitcher's duel. Logan Gilbert (10-5, 3.47 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has looked really good in his starts this year, becoming the Mariners ace this year with how well he has been pitching. He has 2 starts in August and both were really bad starts, giving up 6+ runs in both games, but both of those starts were also against the Yankees who have one of the best offense in the league. I expect Gilbert to bounce back with a much better performance against the Rangers here since their offense hasn't been good all year and they haven't been putting up many runs in a lot of their games lately either. He has also pitched very well against the Mariners this year, seeing them in 3 different starts and not giving up more than 1 run in either start. MartÃn Pérez (9-3, 2.85 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has also looked really good this year as he has been the ace for the Rangers this year. He is also coming off of a bad start where he gave up 7 runs, but again he was facing the Astros who have one of the best offenses in the league. He made 4 starts in a row right before that where he gave up no more than 1 run in each start and I expect him to bounce back here with the mariners offense not as hot as it was just a few weeks ago. He has also pitched well against the Mariners giving up no more than 2 runs in either of his 2 starts against them this year. I see both starters bouncing back here with better games and I see this being a low scoring game as the offense struggle to put up runs. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Mariners. |

08-14-22 | Guardians v. Blue Jays -140 | 7-2 | Loss | -140 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. The Blue Jays haven't looked great lately but they bounced back with a win over the Guardians yesterday and I think they can go on a bit of a run here by picking up another win in this game. They are at home for this series where they have a significant advantage over other teams who have to leave certain players behind and I expect the Blue Jays to step up here and win so they can protect their Wild Card spot. The Guardians have looked really good lately, winning 6 games in a row before losing yesterday, but they have been winning a lot of their games with pitching and haven't put up a ton of runs in them. The Jays offense has been quiet lately but I expect it to wake up on this home stand and after a close win like they had yesterday, I see the offense coming to play today. Shane Bieber (7-6, 3.21 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked really good in his starts lately but I don't see him pitching a good game against the Jays here. His worst start of the year was a start back in May where he gave up 7 runs in around 3 innings, and that was also his only start against the Blue Jays this year, pitching at home in that game too. I think the Jays are going to put up a ton of runs on him here and this time it is a road start for him, and he has given up a lot more runs this year in road starts than home starts. Kevin Gausman (8-8, 2.91 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He hasn't given up a run in August yet and I expect him to continue pitching this way since he has finally got back into his groove that he was in at the beginning of the year. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. |

08-13-22 | Brewers v. Cardinals UNDER 7 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Brewers/Cardinals UNDER. I am on the under in the Milwaukee Brewers vs St Louis Cardinals game on Saturday. The Cardinals just overtook the Brewers for 1st place in their division and now the Cardinals have a 1.5 game lead over the Brewers for 1st place. I expect this to be a very close series though with all games being close considering how important each game is to both teams. The 1st game of this series on Friday was also a really low scoring game with not many runs, and I expect this game to be similar with 2 stud pitchers starting for each team. Corbin Burnes (8-5, 2.45 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has looked great in a majority of his starts all year. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in a lot of his starts and he just had another great start where he gave up just 1 run. He has also seen this Cardinals lineup 2 times this year and he pitched 7 shutout innings in both starts. The Cardinals won the 1st game yesterday but only put up 3 runs in the process and I see this being another game where the runs are hard to come by for them. Adam Wainwright (8-8, 3.42 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked great in a majority of his starts this year too. He just had a really bad start in his most recent one where he gave up 6 runs against the Yankees, but I expect him to bounce back with a much better performance in this game like he has been doing in his starts all year. The Brewers haven't been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately either and I expect Wainwright to shut them down here. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Brewers. |

08-13-22 | Mariners +104 v. Rangers | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The Mariners have looked really good in their games lately, winning 3 games in a row now. Their pitching has looked great in these games, only giving up 5 runs total in their 3 previous games. The Rangers haven't really looked great in their games lately, losing 2 in a row now and 4/5 of their previous 5 games, and they haven't been putting up a ton of runs in these games either. I think this is going to be another game where they don't put up a ton of runs and the Mariners have been beating up on them in their previous series against them. The Mariners have won 7 games in a row now against the Rangers, sweeping the 2 most recent series against them, and I expect them to continue beating up on the Rangers here since the Mariners are still in the hunt for a Wild Card spot. Marco Gonzales (7-11, 3.98 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he hasn't looked great in his starts lately but I expect him to bounce back with a better performance here. He has pitched well against the rangers this year, not giving up many earned runs in most of his starts, and I see him shutting down the Rangers lineup here since they have been struggling to put up runs lately. Dane Dunning (2-6, 4.04 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked great in a lot of starts this year. He looked a lot better in his July starts but I don't expect him to keep up this pace, and I see him starting regress here since he has consistently been giving up runs in his starts all year. The Mariners are also a much hotter team that is winning more games and putting up a lot more runs, I expect them to continue their run here. I like the Mariners to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners. |

08-12-22 | Twins v. Angels +117 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The Angels have looked really good in their games lately, winning 3 games in a row now and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They just swept the A's in their most recent series and they have been pitching really well in these games, not giving up more than 1 run in 2 of those games. The Twins haven't looked good at all in their games lately, losing 3 games in a row now and they have been giving up a ton of runs in those games. Tyler Mahle (5-7, 4.49 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he hasn't looked great this year. He was giving up a lot of runs in his starts this year and he just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start, also being his 1st start with the Twins. He has been consistently giving up runs in 6 games in a row now and I think he is going to get himself into trouble here with the Angels offense starting to get hot a bit now. Patrick Sandoval (3-7, 3.41 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he has looked really good in a lot of his starts this year. He had a few rough starts in July but has bounced back and just had a great performance where he didn't give up a single run. The Angels are getting hot in their games lately and starting to win more now while the Twins are starting to crack. The Twins were in the lead of their division for a good majority of the year but they have been losing a lot of games now and have lost their division lead to the Guardians now. The Twins have looked shaky in their games with their bullpen giving up a lot of runs lately and their offense hasn't been as good lately as it was for a majority of the year. I expect the Twins to keep slipping here and I like how the Angels are playing right now. I like the Angels to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Angels. |

08-12-22 | Yankees -110 v. Red Sox | 2-3 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees. I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Friday. The Yankees haven't looked really good in their games lately, losing 2 games in a row and 7/8 of their previous 8 games. They have been in a huge slump but I think they are going to break out of their funk here and get a win. The Red Sox haven't looked any better in their games lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they have also been in a huge slump over the last 2 weeks. Their offense hasn't looked great in their games lately and I don't see them putting up a ton of runs in this game. They have been struggling with their pitching for a while now and I expect that to continue being an issue in this game. The Yankees may be in a slump but they still have one of the best offenses in the league and I expect them to step up here and beat their rival here. Domingo Germán (1-2, 5.09 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has only made 2 starts this year due to his injury which kept him out a majority of the year, but he has looked a lot better in his previous 3 starts since blowing up in that 1st one. He gave up 5 runs in his 1st start back but he hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 3 starts in a row now, and he has pitched 5 innings in all of those games. I think he is going to continue getting better in his starts and I expect him to pitch a good game here as he shuts down the struggling Red Sox lineup. Nathan Eovaldi (5-3, 4.23 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked great in his starts lately. He has given up 4+ runs in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts now and he has given up 3+ runs in both of his starts against the Yankees this year. He has been unravelling in his starts lately and I expect the Yankees to take advantage of him here for some runs in this game. The Red Sox bullpen has also been terrible and I see them getting beat up by these bats. I like the yankees to bounce back here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Yankees. |

08-11-22 | Guardians -147 v. Tigers | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. The Guardians have looked really good in their games lately, they have won 4 games in a row now and have taken over 1st place in their division with a 1 game lead over the Twins now. I think they are going to continue on this run now that they have the division lead and I expect them to beat up on the bad teams in their division like the Tigers here. The Tigers have lost 3 games in a row now and 6/7 of their previous 7 games, not looking very good in these games. Their offense has been dead, not putting up more than 2 runs in any of their last 3 in a row, and that has been a common theme for them over their previous 7 games. I think their offense is going to continue being cold in this game and I expect the Guardians to put up a ton of runs since they are getting hot now. Garrett Hill (2-3, 5.12 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he hasn't looked great in his rookie year here. He only gave up 1 run in his most recent start but he has been giving up 3+ runs in a majority of his starts this year, and I expect him to give up runs against this hot lineup here. Zach Plesac (2-10, 4.49 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he hasn't looked great this year but he has already seen the Tigers twice this year and didn't give up more than 2 earned runs in either start. I think he is going to be better in this start and I expect him to pitch well against the worst offense in the league here. The Guardians will have the momentum on their side here since they just passed the Twins for 1st place and they will be trying to pull away with that lead now. I like the Guardians to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Guardians. |

08-10-22 | White Sox -130 v. Royals | 3-8 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The White Sox have looked good in their games lately and they have been closing in on the division leading Twins over the last week. They are just 1.5 games behind now and I think they will continue to make a push with the Guardians and the Twins both tied for 1st in the division now. This is coming down to a very close race and I expect the White Sox to win here since they really need to beat up on these bad division teams if they want a chance at this division still. The Royals have looked terrible this year, they have looked a lot better in their games lately but I expect them to start losing more games now after that loss to the White Sox yesterday. Kris Bubic (2-6, 5.27 ERA) is up for the Royals here and hasn't looked great this year. He has been giving up a lot of runs in his starts this year, he hasn't been giving up a ton of runs in games lately but he is consistently giving them up in every game and I think the White Sox lineup will make him pay if he gets himself into trouble here. Johnny Cueto (4-5, 2.91 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts. He doesn't give up a lot of runs in his starts and when he does he usually doesn't give up more than 3 runs. He hasn't given up more than 3 earned runs in 12 games in a row now, and I think he is going to have another good performance against this Royals lineup that has looked bad all year and hasn't been hitting well lately. I think The White Sox offense is going to put up runs in this game too. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 White Sox. |

08-09-22 | Cardinals -160 v. Rockies | 5-16 | Loss | -160 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. The Cardinals have looked really good in their games lately and they have become one of the hottest teams in the league now. They have won 7 games in a row now, even sweeping the Yankees in their previous series, and their offense has looked really good in these games. They put up 12 runs on the Yankees in their most recent game and they have been putting up a ton of runs in every game on this run while giving up very little. They have now passed the Brewers on their run here and are ahead of them by 2 games for 1st place in their division. The Rockies haven't looked great in their games lately and they haven't had a very good year either, sitting at the bottom of their division right now. The Cardinals are very hot and now that they have overtaken the division lead, I expect them to continue on their roll here. Ryan Feltner (1-3, 5.75 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he hasn't looked good in his starts this year. He hasn't had many starts this year but he has given up 4+ runs in a majority of them, and I think he is going to have another bad start here with this hot lineup putting up so many runs lately. He has only made 3 starts in this ballpark this year too and I think the Cardinals will get to him for some runs. Miles Mikolas (8-8, 2.92 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked really good all year. He has also looked good in his starts as of late, giving up no more than 3 runs in a majority of his starts, and I expect him to continue pitching well here against this weaker lineup. I think the Cardinals have a better pitching matchup here and I expect them to take advantage and put up runs in this game. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Cardinals. |

08-09-22 | Blue Jays -150 v. Orioles | 5-6 | Loss | -150 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. The Blue Jays took a 7-4 loss in Baltimore on Monday but they have looked really good in a majority of their games over the last 2 weeks, and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. The Blue Jays are finally starting to get hot as they have taken over the 1st Wild Card spot and I expect them to hang onto that spot. They haven't looked great lately, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games, but their offense has still been good in those games and I expect them to break out of their mini funk here. The Orioles have been a very hot team as of late but they have also been winning over a lot of bad teams well below .500, and I think the Blue Jays will be able to put up runs here overpowering the Orioles pitching with their bats. Kyle Bradish (1-4, 6.55 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked good in his starts this year. He has made 2 really good starts in a row now, giving up 3 runs in 10 innings between his 2 most recent starts, but he's also still in his rookie year and hasn't had many of those good starts this year. He was giving up a ton of runs in every start when he came into the league at the beginning of the year, he has looked a bit better since coming back from an injury a few weeks ago but, he hasn't faced many good lineups since coming back from injury with only 2 starts against the Reds and Rangers. I don't expect him to continue pitching well here since this will be the strongest lineup he has seen since coming back, and he has already faced the Blue Jays this year giving up 5 runs in 4 innings of that start. The Jays aren't winning games lately but they are putting up runs still and I see them putting up a ton of runs here while actually getting a good performance from their pitching staff. Alek Manoah (12-5, 2.45 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has looked really good all year. He did give up 4 runs in a start a few weeks ago, but he has bounced back since then and it is not often that he gives up 4 runs in a start. I think Manoah is going to shut down the Orioles here while the Blue Jays put up a ton of runs on them. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Blue Jays. |

08-08-22 | Angels v. A's -115 | 1-0 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletics to win this game against the LA Angels on Monday. The A's were just swept by the Giants over the weekend in a 2 game series but they had played the Angels in a 3 game series right before that and won 2/3 games there. I think they are going to bounce back in this game and beat up on the Angels again like they did last week. The Angels haven't looked great in their games lately, they just split their series with the Mariners over the weekend but they have looked terrible for a majority of the year now. The A's have also been terrible all year with an even worse record the Angels have but the A's have been getting hot over the last week, winning more games and putting up a lot of runs in those, I expect them to bounce back here with a better performance. Cole Irvin (6-8, 3.04 ERA) is up for the A's here and I think he gives them a really good chance at winning this game. He has looked great for a majority of the year but he has really been pitching well in his starts lately. He has had 6 starts in a row now where he hasn't given up more than 2 runs, and he hasn't had a start where he has given up more than that since June. I expect him to pitch another great game here as he just shut down the Angels in his most recent start. Jose Suarez (3-4, 4.55 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. He has looked good in his 2 most recent starts, giving up no more than 1 run in either start, but he had 2 bad starts in a row right before that and that has been a bit of a common theme for him this year. I like the A's to bounce back in this game and get a win here. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Athletics. |

08-07-22 | Yankees v. Cardinals +121 | 9-12 | Win | 121 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the New York Yankees on Sunday. The Cardinals have looked really good in their games lately and have been getting really hot over the previous week. They have won 6 games in a row now but have also won 8/9 of their previous 9 games. Their offense has looked really good in these games, putting up a ton of runs in them. Their offense has cooled off a bit in this series but they have still won 2 in a row over the Yankees here, and they have a chance to be the 1st team this year to sweep the Yankees in 3 game series. Their pitching has looked just as good as their offense has lately but they have continued to pitch well into this series, unlike their hitting. They have kept the Yankees down to 3 runs scored against them in the 2 games of this series, and they haven't given up more than 3 runs in 6 games in a row now. I think they are going to continue pitching well here and the Yankees offense has really died down over the last week, I expect them to struggle here like they have been doing lately. Adam Wainwright (8-8, 3.11 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He has not given up more than 1 run in 2 starts in a row now and he pitched 7 innings deep in both of those. The Yankees have been struggling on offense lately and I expect them to continue struggling against Wainwright here with how good he has looked lately, and I don't see the Yankees doing much on this bullpen either since they haven't been able to the 2 previous games. Frankie Montas (4-9, 3.18 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has looked good all year for the A's, but I think he is going to fall flat here in his Yankee debut. We have seen many good players over the last year come to the yankees and go cold as they struggle to adjust to the new environment, and I expect that to happen here with Montas. The Cardinals offense has been hot and I see them getting to Montas here for some runs while the Cardinals shut down this Yankees lineup. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Cardinals. |

08-07-22 | Red Sox -139 v. Royals | 5-13 | Loss | -139 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The Red Sox haven't looked really good this year as they have slipped below .500 now and are the last place team in their division. They have looked a lot better in their games lately though and I think they are going to bounce back here after that loss yesterday. They have won a majority of their games in their previous 8 games, and I expect a good effort from them here to try and split this series with the Royals. Runs haven't been a problem for them lately since they are putting up runs in their games but I expect their pitching to be a lot better in this game and shut down the Royals here, who really don't have a good offense this year. Kutter Crawford (3-3, 3.86 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked very good in a lot of starts this year, but he has been improving in his most recent starts and is starting to look a lot better in those. He has only given up 1 run in both of his 2 most recent starts, and I can see him shutting down this Royals lineup now that he is getting in a groove. He pitched against 2 better lineups in his 2 most recent starts too, and I expect him to continue pitching well in this game. Brad Keller (5-12, 4.61 ERA) is up for the Royals here and he has looked terrible in his starts this year, especially in his previous starts as of late. He just gave up 8 runs in his most recent start but giving up a ton of runs in games has been a common theme for him this year. He has given up 3+ runs in 3 starts in a row now and this Red Sox lineup has still been putting up runs lately. I expect Keller to have another bad start here and I see the Red Sox splitting this series. I like the Red Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Red Sox. |

08-06-22 | Yankees -109 v. Cardinals | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees. I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The Yankees haven't looked good in their games lately, losing 3 games in a row now, but I expect them to bounce back in this game and I think this is a great spot for them. They just lost to the Cardinals last night by blowing a late lead in the 8th inning but I see the Yankees offense putting up some runs in this game. They still racked up a ton of hits in that game they lost but I expect them to convert those into runs here. Jordan Montgomery (3-3, 3.69 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and this will be a very emotional start for him pitching against the team he was on less than a week ago. He didn't look very good near the end of his time with the Yankees though and I don't think he has fixed any of those issues for this game. He has given up 4+ runs in 2 starts in a row now and was becoming a problem in the rotation for the Yankees. He is gone now and their rotation is better off, but now that he is starting in this game I expect the Yankees to put up a ton of runs on him here. Domingo German (1-1, 6.39 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has only made 3 starts this year since he has been out a majority of the year with an injury. He didn't look good in his 1st start back from injury, giving up 5 runs in 3 innings of that game, but he has only given up 2 runs in both of his 2 most recent starts and has pitched more innings in each one. I think he is starting to round into that great form he was in before leaving with injury a year ago and I expect him to shut down the Cardinals in this game. The Yankees have been in terrible shape lately but they need to start winning games and I think this game offers them a great bounce back spot. I like the Yankees to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Yankees. |

08-06-22 | White Sox -113 v. Rangers | 0-8 | Loss | -113 | 16 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The White Sox have looked good in their games lately, a lot of them haven't been pretty but they are grinding out wins lately and I think they can get another win here. The White Sox have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games and they have been doing it with great pitching, not giving up more than 2 runs in 6/7 of their previous 7 games, the 1 other game being one where they gave up 3 runs. The bullpen has looked great for weeks now and this starting rotation has also looked a lot better in their start as of late. I expect them to pitch another great game here with the Rangers offense not looking great lately. The Rangers have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they haven't put up more than 3 runs in 4 games in a row now. Both of these teams have gone a bit cold on offense lately but I trust this White Sox pitching staff a lot more here to shut down the Rangers lineup here. The Rangers have been pitching well lately but I think the White Sox have a really good offense and I don't see the Rangers holding them off this whole series as they have done in these 2 most recent games. I see the White Sox offense waking up here and putting up some runs in this game. Dane Dunning (1-6, 4.30 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked great this year. He hasn't been bad in his starts lately but he is one of those pitchers that gives up runs in almost every single start and he has only started in 1 game this year where he didn't give up a run. I think that is going to be dangerous here and i expect him to get into trouble against the White Sox lineup here. Michael Kopech (4-7, 3.12 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He had a bit of trouble readjusting when he came back from his injury but he hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 4 starts in a row now and I think he will continue improving in his starts until he gets back to where he was at the beginning of the year. The White Sox are only 2 games behind the Twins now moving up into 2nd place in their division and I see them starting to surge here as they make their move to overtake the Twins. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 White Sox. |

08-05-22 | Pirates v. Orioles -145 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles. I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The Orioles have looked really good in their games lately. They just swept the Rangers in their most recent series and their offense looked really good in that series putting up a ton of runs in their games. They have put up 6+ runs in 3 games in a row now but they haven't given up many runs either, giving up no more than 3 runs in 4 games in a row. The Orioles have been hot over the last few weeks, they did trade away a big bat with Mancini gone now, but I still think this is a decent team that is playing well right now and I expect them to continue their run here with the Pirates on deck. The Pirates have looked terrible this year being one of the worst teams in the league and the Orioles are back in their own ballpark for this series. The Orioles have looked great in their road games lately but they have been an even better home team all year and I expect their offense to keep on pace back at home here. The Pirates have also been terrible in road games and I don't see them putting up many runs on the road here, but I see them giving up a ton to a hot Orioles offense. Mitch Keller (3-7, 4.37 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he hasn't looked good in his starts all year. He hasn't looked terrible in his starts lately but he has given up a ton of runs in road starts this year and I expect him to do the same here against a hot lineup that is putting up a ton of runs. Dean Kremer (3-3, 3.86 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked bad this year but he has looked a bit shaky in his starts lately. He has given up 3+ run in 3 starts in a row now but I expect him to bounce back here and I trust the Orioles bullpen to shut down the Pirates here too. I like the Orioles to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Orioles. |

08-05-22 | White Sox -172 v. Rangers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Friday. The White Sox have looked really good in their games lately. They just lost their most recent game to the Rangers yesterday but they had won 4/5 of their previous 5 games before that and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They only lost 3-2 yesterday in a close game and their pitching still looked great in that game. Their pitching has looked really good in their games lately, giving up no more than 3 runs in 6 games in a row now. I think they are going to pitch well again in this game with their bullpen looking a lot better lately and the Rangers offense hasn't looked great in their games lately either. The Rangers haven't put up more than 3 runs in 4 games in a row now but they have been giving up a ton of runs in those games and I don't see their offense waking up here. Dylan Cease (11-4, 2.01 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked really good in all of his starts this year. He has rarely had a bad start this year and I expect him to shut down a cold Rangers lineup here. He hasn't given up more than 1 earned run in 12 starts in a row now and I expect him to pitch a similar performance here. Glenn Otto (4-7, 5.50 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked good in his starts this year. He has given up a ton of runs in his starts all year and he didn't look very good in July either. He has given up 3+ runs in 4 games in a row now and that has been a common theme for him all year. I think he is going to give up a ton of runs in this game with the White Sox lineup getting hot lately and I see this being a bounce back for the White Sox. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 White Sox. |

08-04-22 | White Sox -126 v. Rangers | 2-3 | Loss | -126 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Thursday. The White Sox have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here. They have won 2 games in a row now and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. Their offense has looked a lot better lately, putting up 13 runs total in their 2 most recent games, but their pitching has been really hot too, giving up no more than 2 runs in 5 games in a row now. The Rangers have looked terrible in their games lately, losing 3 games in a row now and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They were just swept by the Orioles in their most recent series and their bullpen looked terrible in that series, giving up a ton of late runs. I don't see the Rangers doing any better against the White Sox here who are getting hot now and the Rangers have actually performed better in road games all year. Johnny Cueto (4-4, 2.86 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked great in his starts this year. He has been giving up some runs lately but he hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any start this year except for 1, and he has started in 14 games this year. I think he is going to continue pitching well here and I don't see him giving up more than his usual amount of runs here. The White Sox offense has been hot putting up a ton of runs lately so I expect them to offer him some run support here too. Cole Ragans (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Rangers here and he is making his MLB debut in this game. He hasn't looked bad in the minor leagues but I don't see him coming in here in his 1st MLB start ever and shutting down the White Sox lineup who have been getting on offense lately. I think the White Sox are going to put a ton of runs up on him here and I don't see the Rangers doing much to counter with the way their offense has been playing. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 White Sox. |

08-04-22 | Blue Jays v. Twins UNDER 8.5 | 9-3 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays/Twins UNDER. I am on the under in the Toronto Blue Jays vs Minnesota Twins game on Thursday. The Blue Jays have been involved in a lot of low scoring affairs lately. They have seen 5 runs or less in 3 games in a row now, they have also seen 8 runs or less in 7 games in a row now. They have still looked good in their games lately winning a lot of them, but their offense has died down a lot since they aren't really putting up runs in these games. Instead, their pitching has been getting really hot lately and they haven't been giving up many runs in their games, winning a lot of those games with their good pitching. Over their previous 7 games, they have put up around 3 runs per game on average and I don't think they are going to do a lot more here with this pitching matchup. The Jays haven't really given up more than 3 runs in 5/6 of their previous 6 games though, and I think this is going to be another low scoring and close game which they have been involved in a lot of this year. Even the Twins have seen 8 runs or less in 4 games in a row now and I see the runs being hard to come by in this game. Alek Manoah (11-5, 2.43 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has looked good in his starts all year. He has looked a bit shaky in his starts lately, giving up 4 runs in his most recent start, but even when he has a bad start he never gives up more than that and he hasn't had many of those starts this year. I think he is going to bounce back here after that previous start and I see him pitching a great game where he doesn't give up many runs. Sonny Gray (6-3, 3.41 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has also looked great this year. He hasn't given up more than 1 run in 2 starts in a row now and he has looked that good in a majority of his starts this year. I think he is going to continue pitching well here and I expect him to shut down the Jays lineup which hasn't been hitting that well lately. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Jays. |

08-03-22 | Dodgers -157 v. Giants | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. The Dodgers have looked really good in their games lately, winning 3 games in a row now. They have been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately with 7+ runs scored in 3 games in a row now. They have already won 6 games in a row over the Giants between their previous 2 series and I expect them to continue that run here. The Giants haven't looked great lately with 2 losses in a row now but their offense has looked really bad in those games and they are not putting up many runs now. Julio Urias (10-6, 2.71 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has looked great in his starts as of late. He hasn't given up many runs in his starts lately, giving up 3 runs total in his 3 most recent starts, and he is starting to look a lot like the guy we saw pitching so well for the Dodgers just last year. I expect him to continue pitching well here and I think the Dodgers are motivated to keep winning games and start surging now that they have surpassed the Yankees for best record in the league. Alex Cobb (3-5, 4.06 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has looked good this year but he has started to give up a lot of runs in his starts lately, and I don't trust the Giants bullpen to shut down this hot Dodgers lineup. I see the Dodgers putting up a ton of runs in this game while the Giants continue to struggle on offense. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Dodgers. |

08-03-22 | Royals +135 v. White Sox | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals. I like the Kansas City Royals to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. The Royals have looked a lot better in their games lately and I think they are going to have another good game here. They have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games, and those wins came against the Yankees and the White Sox in this series. They didn't look great in their 9-2 loss last night but I think they will bounce back here and get a win since they have looked a lot better lately and the White Sox haven't looked that great. The White Sox have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games but before their win last night, they weren't putting up a lot of runs in their games and their offense has been struggling with so many good pieces out of the lineup due to injury. I think that is going to start catching up to the White Sox here and I don't like how their starter has been pitching lately. Lance Lynn (1-4, 6.42 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked terrible in his few starts this year. He has made 9 starts this year, missing a lot of time due to an injury, but he has only had 2 starts where he gave up no runs at all, giving up 5+ runs in every other start this year. The Royals offense hasn't looked terrible lately and they showed they can put up runs in these games when they beat the Yankees 8-6. I think they are going to put up some runs on Lynn here and I expect Lynn to blow this game for the White Sox like he has blown so many of his starts this year early in the game. Brady Singer (4-3, 3.51 ERA) is up for the Royals here and he has looked good in a majority of his starts this year. He looked really good in July too, giving up no more than 3 runs in any of his July starts and he pitched 6+ innings in 4 starts in a row now giving up just 5 earned runs in those. I think he will pitch well against this White Sox lineup that is shorthanded at the moment and I see the Royals putting up a ton of runs on Lynn here. I like the Royals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Royals. |

08-02-22 | Dodgers -130 v. Giants | 9-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. The Dodgers have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now but their offense has looked great lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here. They beat the Giants 8-2 yesterday and I expect them to continue putting up a ton of runs in this game with that offense getting really hot now. The Giants have not had a very hot offense lately and they are not putting up a ton of runs in their games. They had 1 good series against the Cubs in their most recent series, but they have looked terrible since coming out of the All Star break and they looked really bad on Monday night again. Tyler Anderson (11-1, 2.61 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has looked great all year. He rarely has a bad start and hasn't given up more than 1 run in any of his 3 most recent starts. I expect him to pitch another great game here like he did against the Giants a week ago and I don't see the Giants doing much against him or the Dodgers bullpen here with how bad their offense has looked lately. Alex Wood (7-8, 4.11 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has looked good this year but the Giants bullpen has been giving up a lot of runs lately and Wood doesn't really pitch deep into games, with a majority of his starts being 5 innings or less. I don't expect him to go really deep into this game and I think he is going to give up a ton of runs with the way they have been scoring lately. I also think the bullpen is going to let them down here and I see the Dodgers continuing their run here as they stay hot in this game. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Selection: 6-2 Dodgers. |

08-02-22 | Cubs v. Cardinals -161 | 0-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The Cardinals have looked really good in their games lately, winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games. Their offense has looked really good in those games too, putting up 5+ runs in all of those games and I think their offense is going to stay hot here against a bad team. The Cubs haven't looked good in their games lately, they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games. They came out of the All Star break really hot but they have cooled off now and I think they are going back to the team they were before the break, losing a lot of games with bad pitching and a bad offense. They haven't put up many runs in their previous series and even in the games they were winning before that, they were only putting up 3 or 4 runs in their games near the end of that run. I think their run is done now and I see the Cardinals getting hot now to go on their own little run here. Adam Wainwright (7-8, 3.28 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked great all year. He pitched well in July, he did have 1 bad start but he bounced back in his most recent start and I expect him to shut down this bad lineup on the Cubs here. He has already seen the Cubs lineup this year and only gave up 2 runs as he shut them down in that game. I expect him to do the same here with how bad the Cubs offense has looked lately. Keegan Thompson (8-4, 3.16 ERA) is up for the Cubs here and he hasn't looked bad this year but he hasn't been having a good July and I think that is going to extend into August here. He bounced back in his most recent start but he was pitching against a bad Pirates lineup and I think he is going to run into a lot more trouble here with the hot Cardinals lineup coming up here. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Cardinals. |

08-01-22 | Dodgers v. Giants +125 | 8-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the LA Dodgers on Monday. The Giants have looked a lot better in their games lately, they just took 3/4 games over the Cubs in their previous series and they are still in their own ballpark for this series. They were swept by the Dodgers in their previous series against them but that was also a road series for them and the Giants did get a home sweep over the Dodgers earlier this year. The Dodgers have looked better in their games lately, winning 4/5 of their previous 5 games and bouncing back in their most recent series against the Rockies, but they still lost 2/3 games to the Nats just before that and I think they can trip up here in this series. Andrew Heaney (1-0, 0.47 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has looked really good in his few starts this year, but he has also only made 4 starts this year with 2 coming before his injury. He has still looked good in his 2 starts since coming back from his injury but, this will be the best lineup he has faced out of those starts and this will also be his 1st road start since coming back, only making 1 road start all year and that was his 1st start of the season back in April. I think the Giants lineup has been getting hot lately and I don't trust Heaney in this game since he is coming off of an injury still and has missed a majority of the season now, but also hasn't pitched a lot or against good lineups. I'm not convinced he is as good as he has been pitching considering his ERA throughout his career, and I expect him to get hit in this game and give up some runs against the Giants. Logan Webb (9-4, 2.91 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start but he had 4 starts in a row right before that where he didn'y give up more than 2 runs, and he has been doing that all year giving up very little runs in his starts. I expect him to bounce back in this game and I don't see the Dodgers doing much against him while the Giants bullpen takes care of the rest. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Giants. |

08-01-22 | Royals v. White Sox -157 | 2-1 | Loss | -157 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The White Sox have looked good in their games lately, they are starting to get hot again with 2 wins in a row now. I think they are going to keep that run going here with another home win over a bad baseball team in the Royals. The Royals just beat the Yankees in their most recent game but they lost 5 games in a row right before that, and their offense looked terrible in those games since they were not putting up many runs before that game yesterday where they put up 8. I don't expect that kind of offensive effort to continue here in another road game and I expect the White Sox to continue getting hot in this stretch of schedule with some bad teams on it. Michael Kopech (4-6, 3.16 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked great all year. He has 3 great starts in a row now and didn't give up a run in his most recent start. He was great at the beginning of the year but got injured and looked a bit shaky coming back from that but, he had a great July and has looked like the same pitcher from the beginning of the year again. I expect him to shut down this bad Royals lineup here. Brad Keller (5-11, 4.18 ERA) is up for the Royals here and he hasn't looked great this year. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year and he has even given up 3+ runs in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts. He has been giving up a lot of runs lately and he hasn't faced any good lineups during this time either. The White Sox are getting healthier and their lineup is getting hot now, I expect them to put up runs on Keller and the Royals bullpen here. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 White Sox. |

07-31-22 | A's v. White Sox -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox -1.5. I like the Chicago White Sox runline in this game against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. The White Sox have looked good in their games lately, winning 4/6 of their previous 6 games and even the 2 games they lost they looked good in with some close losses. They won their most recent game over the A's after coming back late and I expect them to get another win here with this pitching matchup. The A's have looked really good in their games lately, they have the worst offense in the league but have not been playing like it since coming back from the All Star break. They are putting up runs in their games but they struggled on offense yesterday and I expect them to have an even tougher time scoring runs in this game. Dylan Cease (10-4, 2.03 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked good in his starts all year. He has pitched 5+ innings in 3 starts in a row now and hasn't given up a run in any of those starts. He has started 11 games in a row now where he has given up 1 earned run or less in the game, and I expect him to have another great outing here like he has been doing all year. The A's may be hot as of late but their offense died down in yesterday's game and this is still an offense that has been one of the worst in the league all year. I don't expect them to do much on Cease and the White Sox here when it comes to putting up runs in this game. The White Sox also have a division and Wild Card race to worry about right now so they can't afford to lose this home series to a team like the A's with the way they have played all year. I expect the White Sox to be motivated to win this game and series here. Adam Oller (1-3, 8.07 ERA) is up for the A's here and he has looked really bad in a majority of his starts this year. He is still in his rookie year and has been taken out of the bullpen lately to start in his last 2 appearances, his only 2 starts in his MLB career, and he didn't look that good in those since he gave up 3+ runs in both games. I think he is going to continue struggling as a starter here and I expect him to give up runs here against the White Sox in this road start. I like the White Sox runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 White Sox. |

07-31-22 | Royals v. Yankees OVER 8.5 | Top | 8-6 | Win | 100 | 4 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Royals/Yankees OVER. I am on the over in the Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees game on Sunday. The 2 most recent games of this series both had 10+ runs scored in them,and I expect this to be another high scoring affair that goes over the total. The Yankees were in a bit of a slump lately but they have looked a lot better in their 2 most recent games, putting up 8+ run in both of those games. They have been giving up some runs in those games too since their bullpen hasn't been great lately and could use some help, but I also expect them to give up some early runs with their starter here. The Royals were looking terrible on offense lately, getting blanked in a few of their games lately, but they have been putting up some runs lately and I expect them to continue that offense here, I don't expect them to put up a ton of runs either but enough to contribute to this total while the Yankees offense takes care of the rest here. Jordan Montgomery (3-3, 3.50 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he hasn't looked great in his starts lately, struggling in a lot of them and giving up a ton of runs. He has had 8 starts in a row now where he has given up runs in the game, and a majority of those starts saw him giving up 3+ runs in the game. The Royals offense hasn't been great lately but they have been putting up some runs in their 2 most recent games and I think they are going to put some runs up on Montgomery here with the way he has been pitching lately. Zack Greinke (3-6, 4.35 ERA) is up for the Royals here and he hasn't looked great this year giving up a lot of runs in his starts. He has also been really up and down in these starts, the last 2 lineups he faced that were really good offenses and coming into the game hot, he didn't pitch well against them. He gave up 4 runs against the Jays and 6 runs against the Astros in 2 of his July starts, the only 2 top 10 offenses he faced in July. He is facing another offense here that is one of the best in the league and has been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately, I expect them to put up runs on Greinke and the Royals bullpen here now that they are getting hot again. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Yankees. |

07-30-22 | Diamondbacks v. Braves -1.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5. I like the Atlanta Braves runline in this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. The Braves have been a bit up and down in their games lately but they have still looked really good and I think they are going to start another big run here to try and catch the Mets once again. They had that lead cut down to 0.5 games at one point last week but they haven't looked great in every game lately, and now the Mets have a 3 game lead over the Braves again for the top of the division. The Braves looked great in their series against the Angels coming out of the All Star break, they slowed down a bit in Philadelphia still winning a game there though, and now they have taken the 1st game of this series with a 5-2 win. All of their wins since coming out of the All Star break have been by 2+ runs and I think this is going to be another win by 2+ runs with the Braves offense still very hot and back at home now. The D-Backs have looked great in their games lately, sweeping the Giants in a home series, but I expect their good play to start fading on the road here and I see this being a nice series for the Braves to try and sweep and close the gap on the Mets in the division. Ian Anderson (8-6, 5.31 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't looked great for a majority of the year but he has also been pitching a lot better in July, not giving up many runs this month. He had 3 starts in a row where he didn't give up more than 2 starts, but gave up 7 runs in his most recent start against the Angels. He has still looked a lot better in his starts lately and I expect him to bounce back here with a better performance like he has been giving for a majority of July. Corbin Martin (0-0, 3.93 ERA) is up for the Diamondbacks here and he has only made 1 start this year in his most recent appearance. He pitched well in that game only giving up 1 run in 4 innings, but he was facing a terrible Nationals lineup in that game and he has had a few really bad relief appearances this year where he gave up a ton of runs in a short period of time. I think the Braves lineup is going to get after him here with how hot the offense has been lately and I don't see the Diamondbacks doing much damage on the Braves here. I like the Braves runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Braves. |

07-30-22 | Twins +120 v. Padres | 7-4 | Win | 120 | 19 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the San Diego Padres on Saturday. The Twins haven't looked really good in their games lately, losing 3 games in a row now and they really took a beating from the Padres yesterday. I think this is a good spot for them to bounce back though. The Padres may have blown the Twins out on Friday night but they haven't looked great in their games lately. They had lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games before taking the 1st game of this series with the Twins and I don't expect them to go on a big run now with how up and down they have been in their games all year. The Padres have also been a better team this year in road games with more of their wins coming in road games. Sonny Gray (5-3, 3.52 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has been really good all year. He pitched great for months before hitting a bit of a snag in some of his starts lately, but he bounced back with a great performance in his last game and I expect him to continue pitching well here now that he has bounced back himself. Joe Musgrove (8-3, 2.63 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been the Padres ace for a majority of the year, but he has not looked good in his starts lately and it has been turning into an ongoing problem now. He has given up 9 runs in his 2 most recent starts and that has been a common theme lately, giving up 3+ runs in 4/5 of his previous 5 starts. I think he is going to continue pitching badly here since he has been due for some regression for some time now, and I expect the twins to put up runs on him after a night where their offense didn't even show up. I like the Twins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |

07-30-22 | Tigers v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays runline in this game against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. The Blue Jays have looked really good since coming out of the All Star break but they have been cooling off a bit lately, losing 2/3 of their previous 3 games. I still think this team is very hot though and I expect them to bounce back here with a better game in their own ballpark. The Tigers haven't looked terrible in their games lately but they have looked bad in road games all year and have a record almost 20 games below .500 in road games this year. The Blue Jays have also looked a lot better in their home games all year and I like the pitching matchup for the Blue Jays here, I think they bounce back in this game. Drew Hutchison (1-4, 4.84 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he hasn't started in many games this year since he has been pulled from the bullpen and put in the starting rotation over the last 2 months, despite starting the year as a reliever. He hasn't looked good in his starts lately either, giving up 4 runs in both of his 2 most recent starts and he was pulled before the 6th inning in both games too. The Tigers have been feeling it with injuries to their pitching staff all year and their bullpen has had to suffer by taking good arms out like Hutchison and thrusting them into starting roles. The Blue Jays have a really good lineup here and after a few games where they haven't been producing much, I expect them to put up a ton of runs on the Tigers here. Hutchison will not last many innings against this lineup and I don't expect the Tigers offense to do much to help out here either. Ross Stripling (5-3, 3.10 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has looked really good in his starts lately. He has made 9 starts in a row now where he has looked great and only gave up more than 2 runs in 1 of those starts. The Tigers also have one of the worst offenses in the league this year and have been even worse in road games. I think this is a great spot for a big bounce back win from the Jays. I like the Blue Jays runline here. T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Blue Jays. |

07-29-22 | Guardians v. Rays -109 | 4-1 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. The Rays haven't looked good in their games lately, losing 3/4 to the Orioles in their previous series, but I think they are going to bounce back in this game now that they are back in their ballpark. They have not looked good on offense in their games lately but their pitching has still looked great and has kept a lot of their games on the lower scoring side, giving themselves the best chance to win in these kinds of games. The Guardians have looked really good in their games lately, winning 2/3 of their previous 3 games, but they have also been playing a Red Sox team that has big issues with their pitching staff and I think they are going to run into trouble here against this Rays pitching staff. Jeffrey Springs (3-2, 2.50 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has looked great all year with his pitching. He hasn't had many starts where he gave up more than 2 runs and he only gave up 1 run in his most recent start too. He doesn't normally pitch very deep into his starts but he also a great bullpen that has been pitching well behind him here, and I expect them to shut down the Guardians lineup here. The Guardians lineup hasn't looked great being really up and down in their games, but their bullpen has been an issue lately giving up late runs and it has been costly for them. Shane Bieber (4-6, 3.55 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked good this year but he has been looking shaky in his starts lately and I think he is going to have another shaky start here. He has given up 5+ runs in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts and he didn't look that great in June either, giving up 3+ runs in almost all of his starts that month. I don't think he is going to pitch well here and I also expect the Guardians bullpen to blow this game for them too by giving up some late runs here. I like the Rays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Rays. |

07-29-22 | Brewers -158 v. Red Sox | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Friday. The Brewers have looked really good lately winning 2 games in a row now but they have also won 5/6 of their previous 6 games. Their offense has been putting up a ton of runs in these games too, putting 17 runs in their 2 most recent games and that has been a common theme for them since coming out of the All Star break. I expect them to continue on their run here and their hot offense should lay a beating on this Red Sox pitching staff that has been taxed so much in their games lately. The Red Sox haven't looked good lately either winning just 2/9 of their previous 9 games and I think this is another game they are going to lose in their slump here. Brandon Woodruff (8-3, 3.73 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has been great lately, only giving up more than 2 runs once in his previous 8 starts. He has looked great in his starts and I expect him to have another great start here with the Red Sox struggling so much lately. Brayan Bello (0-2, 10.50 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has only made 3 starts in his rookie year here but he has looked terrible in all of those starts. He has pitched 4 innings in all 3 starts and has given up 5 runs in 2 of those, 4 runs in the other start. He doesn't strikeout many batters either and he has actually been giving up more and more hits in every start he has made. The Brewers lineup is on fire right now with the runs they are putting up lately and I expect them to do the same here with all the pitching issues these Red Sox have. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Brewers. |

07-28-22 | Cubs +125 v. Giants | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Cubs. I like the Chicago Cubs to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. The Cubs have been on a heater since coming out of the All Star break and I expect them to continue their run here. They have looked great with a flawless 5-0 record since coming out of the break and their offense has been getting hot in these games too. They are starting to put up a lot more runs in their games lately but their pitching has also been keeping their opponents off the board and I expect them to keep playing well against a struggling Giants team that can't seem to find the win column lately. The Giants have looked terrible in their games lately and they have managed to the complete opposite of the Cubs coming out of the break here. The Giants are 0-7 since the All Star break and their offense has come out really cold, not putting up many runs in their games. They have been swept by 2 different teams now and I expect their slump to continue with another hot team coming into town. Justin Steele (4-6, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Cubs here and he was giving up a ton of runs at the beginning of the year, but he has worked on that and is looking a lot better in his starts lately. He hasn't had many starts lately and he has been pitching a lot of games where he only gives up 1 run or less. I expect him to continue pitching well here with the Giants offense in the shape it's currently in. Alex Wood (6-8, 4.21 ERA) is up for the Giants here but he hasn't been that great this year. He has looked a lot better lately since he hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts, but he hasn't been pitching very deep either with his 2 most recent starts not making it out of the 5th inning. The Giants bullpen has not looked good lately and they will not hold up well with the way the Cubs offense has been hitting. I expect the Giants to get hit in this game and I see the Cubs staying hot here. I like the Cubs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cubs. |

07-28-22 | Phillies -1.5 v. Pirates | 8-7 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5. I like the Philadelphia Phillies runline in this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. The Phillies came out of the All Star break flat but they have turned it around looking a lot better in their games lately. They just won a big series over the Braves which helped them out in the Wild Card race and I think they are going to carry over that momentum into this series against the Pirates. The Pirates haven't looked good in their games lately and I don't expect them to do much here against the Phillies who have been getting hot now. The Phillies offense is starting to get hot now, putting up a ton of runs in their series with the Braves, while the Pirates have been struggling on offense in their games lately. The Pirates haven't put up more than 2 runs in 4/5 of their previous 5 games and I expect their issues on offense to continue here with the Phillies coming into town. Zack Wheeler (8-5, 2.78 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he has looked great all year, I think he will have a good outing here and I expect him to pitch deep into this game too. He had 1 bad start in the month of July but he has looked great in his other 3 starts, only giving up 1 run combined between those 3 starts and pitching 7 innings in all of those games too. He bounced back in his last outing with a 7 inning performance where he only gave up 1 run, and I expect him to continue that here against a bad offense that has been struggling lately. Zach Thompson (3-7, 4.64 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and this is only his 2nd year in the MLB but he hasn't looked as good this year as he did in his rookie year. He just gave up 7 runs in his most recent start against a bad Marlins offense, and that has been a common theme for him this year since he has been giving up a lot of runs in his starts. The Phillies offense just woke up against the Braves who have been pitching great lately. I expect the Phillies offense to continue getting hot here and I don't see the Pirates doing much here to shut down this lineup. I like the Phillies runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Phillies. |

07-27-22 | Guardians v. Red Sox -125 | 7-6 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. The Red Sox haven't looked good in their games lately. They have lost 6/7 of their previous 7 games and their pitching has looked terrible in these games since they have been giving up a ton of runs lately. They finally got a win over the Guardians on Monday with a 3-1 win, pitching a lot better in that game, but they lost 8-3 yesterday in another game where their pitching was questionable. They didn't have a great starter though yesterday and their bullpen was taxed heavily in that game once again. They will have a better situation with their pitching here though, and I expect their starter to give a great performance and lost long with a deep outing. Nathan Eovaldi (4-3, 4.30 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has looked great for a majority of the year. He did leave with an injury in June and hasn't looked great since coming back, but I expect him to get back in his groove here and step up for his team in this game. He really blew the game open in his most recent start, giving up 9 runs to the Blue Jays in his own ballpark, but I expect his pride to show here and I see him bouncing back with a much better performance against a weaker lineup here. I expect him to pitch deep into this game too and take some stress off of that bullpen which has been getting used up way too much lately. Cal Quantrill (7-5, 3.75 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked great lately but he has only had 1 start this year where he pitched a shutout in his appearance and I think the Red Sox can take advantage of him in this park. The Red Sox know how to hit in their park and they will be looking to bounce back after their string of bad games. I think they are going to put up a ton of runs here with the way Quantrill has been giving up runs in every start and I expect the Red Sox to make him pay if he gets himself into trouble here. I like the Red Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Red Sox. |

07-27-22 | Rays -112 v. Orioles | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. The Rays haven't looked good in their games lately, they have lost 4 games in a row now already losing this series but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. Their offense has looked really bad lately, not putting up a ton of runs in their games lately but they haven't been giving up too many runs either. I think they are going to pitch a good game here with their starter though, their bullpen has looked good lately and it has really been their starters that have been blowing their games lately. Drew Rasmussen (6-3, 3.13 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has looked really good in his starts lately. He hasn't had many bad starts this year where he gives up a ton of runs, and he hasn't had a start like that in 4 starts in a row now. He hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any of those starts and he was also really good in his 1 start against the Orioles this year. I expect him to shut down the Orioles offense here, which hasn't been great for a majority of the year, and I think he can get this game to the bullpen with a lead which I expect the bullpen to keep intact. Tyler Wells (7-6, 3.69 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he has looked great for the Orioles this year but has started to look a bit shaky in his starts lately, and I expect that shakiness to continue here. He gave up 5 runs in his most recent start and he didn't look great in July either, giving up 3+ runs in 3 starts in a row now. He pitched against the Rays in 1 of those starts too and gave up some early runs which ended losing them the game as he was charged with the loss. I think the Rays lineup will put up some runs on him here and I expect them to bounce back with a much better effort in this game and avoid getting swept here. I like the Rays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Rays. |

07-27-22 | White Sox v. Rockies +124 | 5-6 | Win | 124 | 5 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado Rockies. I like the Colorado Rockies to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. The Rockies haven't looked good in their games lately, they have lost 5/6 of their previous 6 games but I think they are going to bounce back here. They have lost 3 of their previous 4 losses by 1 run and haven't looked bad in these games keeping them really close. They are in their own ballpark here too and I think they can use that to their advantage in this game. The White Sox haven't looked great in their games lately either, they split a series with the Guardians and won the 1st game against this series but their offense didn't look very good against the Rockies here and I expect the Rockies to put up runs in this game. Lucas Giolito (6-6, 5.12 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. He just gave up 6 runs in his most recent start and has looked really shaky lately, giving up 5+ runs in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts. He has also struggled in his road starts this year, giving up a lot more runs in those games, and this will be his 1st time in his career pitching at Coors Field. I think he is going to give up a ton of runs here since he doesn't know the ballpark well and hasn't looked great with his pitches lately. Antonio Senzatela (3-5, 4.98 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he hasn't looked great this year but he hasn't looked terrible either and has actually been a lot better in this ballpark, pitching well there this year. He hasn't given up 4+ runs in his 3 most recent starts and in his 3 previous home starts. I think he will be able to keep the White Sox offense from doing much here, since they didn't do a lot on Tuesday, and I expect the White Sox to give up the runs here. I like the Rockies to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Rockies. |

07-26-22 | Giants -180 v. Diamondbacks | 3-7 | Loss | -180 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The Giants haven't looked great lately, losing 5 games in a row now and all 5 of those losses coming on this side of the All Star break. They were swept by the Dodgers coming out of the break and have now lost their 1st game against the D-Backs, but I expect them to bounce back in this game and finally get a win here. Their offense hasn't looked great lately but I expect their pitching to be a big factor here. Their bullpen has let them down in their previous 2 games too but I think they will bounce back here, and I expect Rodon to go deep into this game giving the Gianst a good chance here. The D-Backs have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games but they played a series against the Nats during that time, who have been terrible this year, and I think they are going to have some trouble here. The Gianst have a good lineup and I don't see them getting shutout by the D-Backs in B2B games here. Tyler Gilbert (0-3, 5.34 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he hasn't looked that great this year. He hasn't started in many games this year but he has had a few starts where he has given up a ton of runs, and I think he is going to do that here with this lineup looking for a win. Carlos Rodon (8-5, 2.95 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has looked great all year. He just gave up 5 runs in his most recent start but he had 2 great starts in a row just before that, and he didn't give up more than 2 runs in any of his June starts. He has been really consistent and I see him bouncing back here when the D-Backs lineup hasn't been great this year. I think the Giants will bounce back here. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Giants. |

07-26-22 | White Sox -110 v. Rockies | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. The White Sox have won 2 games in a row now and they are starting to get hot again like they were just before the All Star break. Their offense is looking good again since they have been putting up runs in their 2 most recent games and I think this is another game they are going to put up a ton of runs in this park. The Rockies haven't looked very good in their games lately, they have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they just broke out of that funk with a 2-0 win yesterday. Their offense hasn't looked great in those games but their pitching has looked terrible and they gave up a ton of runs in their series against the Brewers. That series wasn't even in their own ballpark either and I think the White Sox will do some damage here with their lineup getting hot. German Marquez (6-7, 5.47 ERA) is up for the Rockies here but he hasn't looked great this year. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts over the last 2 months but he has actually been giving up more runs in his home starts. He just gave up 2 runs in his most recent home start, but he has only done that 2 times at home this year, giving up 4+ runs in every other home start he has made. He isn't pitching well in his own ballpark this year and their bullpen has been giving up a ton of runs lately. I think the Rockies are going to continue giving up a ton of runs here since their pitching hasn't been great and I don't see them winning this game. Michael Kopech (3-6, 3.36 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great all year since he hasn't given up a lot of runs in his starts all year. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in either of his 2 most recent starts and I expect him to continue getting better in every start, getting back to where he was before his injury earlier this year. I expect him to put up a good performance against the Rockies here and I see the White Sox putting up runs in this game. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 White Sox. |

07-26-22 | Marlins v. Reds OVER 8.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marlins/Reds OVER. I am on the over in the Miami Marlins vs Cincinnati Reds game on Tuesday. The Marlins have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately, 4/5 of their previous 5 games seeing 8+ runs since coming back from the All Star break. Their offense has been on and off in these games as they have put up 6+ runs in a few of those games and gave up 6+ runs in the games they didn't. I think this is a game where they are going to put some runs up but I also think they are going to give up runs here since their pitching hasn't been great lately. The Reds have also been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately, playing in 11 games in a row now with 7+ runs in them, 10/11 of those games seeing 9+ runs total in them. Their offense has been really good lately, putting up 6+ runs in 3/4 of their previous 4 games, and they have also just been a hot team playing well at home since they have been winning a lot more lately. I think they are going to put up a ton of runs here with how well they have looked lately but I also see them giving up runs with this pitching matchup. Hunter Greene (3-11, 5.78 ERA) and he has been having a very rough rookie year. He gave up 4 runs in his most recent start but that has been a common theme for him all year, giving up 3+ runs in 5/6 of his previous 6 games. I think he is going to continue on this pace he is on and I expect the Marlins to put some runs up on him here after a game where their offense didn't do much. Pablo Lopez (6-5, 3.14 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has looked really good all year but he started to look a bit shaky in June and that has continued into July since he hasn't been pitching his best lately. He gave up 5 runs in his most recent start but he has had a few of thoise starts lately, a lot of them coming in June, and I think he is starting to wear down a bit. The Reds are hot with their offense right now and I think they are going to get to Lopez for some runs here. I see this being a high scoring game with a ton of runs. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-5 Reds. |

07-25-22 | Astros -1.5 v. A's | 5-7 | Loss | -128 | 13 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros -1.5. I like the Houston Astros runline in this game against the Oakland Athletics on Monday. The Astros have looked great in their games lately, winning all 5 games since coming back from the All Star break. They won 2 games over the Yankees, the team with the best record in baseball, and they swept the Mariners after ending their long run in the 1st game against them. They have looked good in these games with their pitching, not giving up many runs in them, but their offense has looked even better and they have been putting up a ton of runs and very early in these games. I think this is going to be another game the Astros win and continue their run since they have been so hot lately. The A's just lost their most recent game when they had a chance to sweep the Rangers but their pitching finally collapsed in that game since they gave up 11 runs. They don't have a very good offense either and I see them struggling a lot in this game to put up runs on the great pitching staff the Astros have. Adam Oller (0-3, 8.56 ERA) is up for the A;s here and he hasn't looked very good in his rookie year here. With only a few starts under his belt, he has looked terrible in every game as he has given up a ton of runs in each start. He has been getting some work in the bullpen lately, pitching a lot better in less innings played, but he has still given up a few runs in short outings as a reliever, and his most recent appearance was another start he didn't look great in. I expect the Astros lineup to put up a ton of runs on him here and I don't expect the A's to keep up since they have a really bad offense this year. Jake Odorizzi (4-2, 3.56 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he has missed a majority of the year with an injury but has started in a few games now and has looked good in those starts too. He hasn't given up a lot of runs in many of his starts and I think he can shut down the A's here who have a really bad offense. I don't see the A's keeping up with the Astros here. I like the Astros runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 8-1 Astros. |

07-25-22 | Guardians -102 v. Red Sox | 1-3 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Guardians just lost 2 games in a row but they have looked really good in their games lately and I think they will bounce back here. Even in their 2 losses against the White Sox, they kept both games close and put up a ton of runs in the entire series. They were doing that before the All Star break too and I expect them to continue that here with the Red Sox struggling lately. The Red Sox were just swept by the Blue Jays in their most recent series but they have also lost 5 games in a row now. I think they have entered into a bad slump at the moment, and their pitching has been their weakest link lately. They have given up a ton of runs in their games lately, giving up 10+ runs in 3/5 of their previous 5 games and they have given up so many runs lately that they would probably average 10+ runs per game given up in those 5. I think the Red Sox are going to continue to struggle here until they solve the issues they have with their bullpen and pitching in general. Nick Pivetta (8-7, 4.50 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked great this year. He looked really bad at the beginning of the year, he started to pitch a lot better in May and June but now he has regressed again and I think he is going to continue pitching the way he has lately. He gave up 7 runs in his most recent start but he has been so bad that he has also given up 6+ runs in 3 starts in a row now. The Guardians have been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately and I think they will do it again here between Pivetta and the Red Sox bullpen. Zach Plesac (2-7, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked a lot better in his starts lately. He has looked a bit shaky lately but he just had a great June and has only had 1 start in his previous 6 where he was charged with more than 2 runs. I think he is going to shut down the Red Sox lineup here which has already been struggling lately. I like the Guardians to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Guardians. |

07-25-22 | Marlins v. Reds -125 | 2-11 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds. I like the Cincinnati Reds to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. The Reds have looked a lot better in their games lately. They are winning a lot more now and they just took 2/3 in a series against the Cardinals over the weekend. Their offense showed up in that series putting up a ton of runs and I think they are going to do it again here. They have some good momentum with them from this Cardinals series being at home and I think they will carry that over into this series too. The Marlins haven't looked great lately and I don't think they are going to do much here against the Reds. The Marlins just took 2/3 against the Pirates in their most recent series but they beat up on a bad team in that series and the Reds have actually been hot over the last few weeks. The Marlins were still blanked 8-0 by the Rangers in their 1st game back from the All Star break and they were swept by the Phillies right before the break too. I think they are going to need more offense here with how well the Reds have been hitting lately and I see the Reds putting up a ton of runs in this game. Trevor Rogers (4-9, 5.46 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he hasn't looked good in a majority of his starts this year. He gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and that has been a common theme for him all year. He has put together 3 bad starts in a row now and those were all against weak lineups and offenses. He just had a terrible June too and I think he is going to have another bad start here against an offense that has been putting up runs lately. Nick Lodolo (2-3, 5.81 ERA) is up for the Reds here and he hasn't looked good in his rookie year here but he also strikes out a lot of batters in his starts and I think he can bounce back putting together a good start here. He has shown he can do it since he did have 1 great start against the Mets earlier this year and they have a great lineup. I expect him to pitch a good game here but even if he does look shaky, I expect the Reds offense to get the job done here and put up enough runs to win this game. I like the Reds to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Reds. |

07-24-22 | Padres +106 v. Mets | 5-8 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the New York Mets on Sunday. The Padres have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and have already taken the 2 games in this series against the Mets. They haven't put up a lot of runs in this series but they haven't had the need to either since the Mets offense has been struggling, the Padres holding them to just 1 run in both games with a great pitching effort. I think the Padres can sweep the Mets here since the Mets have come out of the All Star break flat with the pressure of the Braves right behind them in the standings, and the padres have looked a lot better in their road games this year than in their home games. Joe Musgrove (8-2, 2.42 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been their ace this year. He just had a bad start right before the All Star break but those have been rare for him this year and I expect him to bounce back with a better performance in this game. The Mets have already been cold in this series and if their other starters have been shutting them down, I see Musgrove doing the same here since he has been great all year. Carlos Carrasco (10-4, 4.27 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has been good this year but has also been really up and down in his starts. He has put together 3 great starts in a row now but he also had a terrible June where he was giving up a ton of runs, and I think he is going to regress a bit in this game with the Padres putting up some runs lately. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Padres. |

07-24-22 | Guardians v. White Sox -119 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. The White Sox were getting very hot just before the All-Star break but they haven't looked very good in their games since then. They have already lost 2/3 against the Guardians here, but I think they can win this game on Sunday and split the series. They split their double header on Saturday and this series is starting to look very familiar to their series against each other last week, where the Guardians won the 1st 2 games of that series but the White Sox took the last 2 and started to get hot after that. Now that the White Sox have that win from the 2nd game of that double header, I see them coming with a better effort here to split the series, and they have a great starter on the bump to help them here. Dylan Cease (9-4, 2.15 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has easily been the most consistent and reliable starter on this roster all year. He has been pitching really well in his starts lately, pitching in 10 games in a row now where he gave up only 1 earned run or less. He hasn't given up a run in his 2 most recent starts either and that includes a start against the Guardians just last week. I think he is going to replicate that performance here and continue to be their ace in the rotation. Shane Bieber (4-5, 3.24 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has also been great this year but his June wasn't that great. He only had 1 start in June where he didn't give up a single run while every other start saw him consistently giving up around 3 runs. He hasn't been great in July either, giving up just 1 run in his most recent start but 5 runs in his start before that. I think the White Sox lineup is going to get hot again here and they need to split this series since their division race is getting really tight. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 White Sox. |

07-24-22 | Angels v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 9-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5. I like the Atlanta Braves runline in this game against the LA Angels on Sunday. The Braves sit just 1.5 games back of the Mets for 1st place in their division and I expect them to sweep the Angels in their own ballpark here. They are highly motivated to overtake the Mets and they have been hot since the All Star break, winning both games over the Angels by multiple runs and putting up 7+ in both games while giving up very little. The Angels have been terrible for a majority of the year now but they were playing really badly going into the All Star break, and haven't been any better coming out of it with their 2 losses. Their offense was struggling before the break, putting up 2 runs or less in 3 games in a row, and they have done the same in these 2 games now, making it 5 games in a row where they offense has looked terrible. I think they are going to struggle to put up runs on the Braves here with how well their pitching has been lately, and I see the Braves continuing to put up runs on the Angels here like they have been doing. Ian Anderson (8-5, 4.79 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't looked great in a lot of his starts this year but he has been getting a lot better in his most recent starts lately. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any of his 3 most recent starts and I expect him to keep that up here since he has started to find his groove. Reid Detmers (2-3, 4.11 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he hasn't been good all year, struggling in his most recent starts too. He hasn't looked bad in his 2 most recent starts, but he ended June with 2 really bad starts and he has been up and down like that all year. I think he is going to give up a ton of runs here with the way this Braves lineup has been hitting lately, and I see Anderson shutting down the Angels lineup here. I like the Braves runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. |

07-23-22 | Marlins v. Pirates +101 | 0-1 | Win | 101 | 15 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Pirates. I like the Pittsburgh Pirates to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Pirates didn't look really good going into the All Star break and they got crushed 8-1 in their 1st game back, but I expect them to bounce back and win this game in their own ballpark. The Marlins haven't looked that great in their games lately either. They were swept by the Phillies going into the break and then were blanked 8-0 by the Rangers in their 1st game back on Thursday. Before putting up 8 runs on the Pirates in their most recent game, the Marlins were shutout by opponents 3 games in a row and I expect their offense to struggle once again in this game. Jose Quintana (2-5, 3.99 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he has looked very good in a majority of his starts this year. He hasn't looked good in his 2 most recent starts, giving up 10 runs total in those 2 starts, but he has been great for a majority of the year and I see him bouncing back with a much better performance against the Marlins offense which has been severely lacking lately. Quintana hasn't faced the Marlins yet this year either and I think he is going to shut them down with his best stuff in this game. Max Meyer (0-1, 8.44 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he is still in his rookie year but only making his 2nd ever start in this game. He had 1 start right before the All Star break, making his MLB debut against the Phillies, and he gave up 5 runs in 5 innings as the Marlins lost that game 10-0. The Pirates don't have a great offense but they can still put up runs in their ballpark and I see them putting up a ton of runs here as they welcome Meyer to the MLB by giving him another bad start. I also think Quintana can shut down the Marlins offense here which has been cold lately. I like the Pirates to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Pirates. |

07-23-22 | Yankees v. Orioles OVER 8 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 15 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Yankees/Orioles OVER. I am on the over in the New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles game on Saturday. The Yankees haven't looked great in their games lately but they have still been putting up a ton of runs in those games. They have put up 5+ runs in 2 games in a row now and I think that is going to continue here since they have had a lot of high scoring games with the Orioles this year already. They have had 8/10 of their previous 10 games against the Orioles see 7+ runs total in them. The Orioles have also been hot themselves lately, winning a lot of games and putting up a ton of runs in those games. They lost the 1st game of this series to the Yankees but still put up 6 runs in the game. The Yankees haven't looked great with their bullpen though, they have been getting guys back from injury and they haven't been performing that well. The Orioles have also had some issues with their bullpen and giving up late runs in their games lately. Gerrit Cole (9-2, 3.02 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has been good this season but he has also had quite a few moments this year where he has looked shaky on the bump. He was struggling at the beginning of the year and worked through his issues, but he has still looked shaky in spots and has been giving up some runs in his starts lately. He even had a start in his 3 previous starts where he gave up 5 runs. He has also faced the Orioles 2 times this year and struggled in both games, giving up 7 runs total between the 2 games. Jordan Lyles (6-8, 4.76 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he has looked really shaky lately. He has been up and down all year but has been having a lot of bad starts lately and just had a terrible June. He gave up 6 runs in his most recent start, getting pulled in the 3rd inning, and I don't see him bouncing back here against 1 of the best lineups in the league. I expect there to be a ton of runs in this game by both teams like there always is when they meet up. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 9-6 Yankees. |

07-23-22 | Astros v. Mariners UNDER 7 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros/Mariners UNDER. I am on the under in the Houston Astros vs Seattle Mariners game on Saturday. The Astros have won 3 games in a row now but their pitching has been great in all of those games and I expect them to continue that in this game. They just shut down the Yankees in 2 games of a double header on Thursday and then shut down the Mariners on Friday who won 14 in a row going into the All Star break. I don't see them giving up a lot of runs in this game either and I expect the Mariners lineup to struggle with this pitching matchup. Justin Verlander (12-3, 1.89 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he has been great all year. He hasn't given up a run in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts and he has been pitching so well that he has only been charged with 2 runs in his previous 4 starts. He has been shutting down way better lineups in those games too and I expect him to do the same here with the Mariners who have seemed to cool off now. I don't expect the Astros to put up a ton of runs and run away with this game though. Logan Gilbert (10-3, 2.76 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has also been pitching great all year. He has only given up 1 run in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts and I expect him to continue pitching well like he has been lately. He has also faced the Astros lineup 2 times this year and put up some great numbers in both games against them. The Astros were only able to put up 3 runs total in the 2 games Gilbert started in, his team did give him run support in those games too but I don't expect him to get much with Verlander here. I think both starters are going to pitch well in this game and I expect them both to go deep, keeping this a low scoring game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Astros. |

07-22-22 | Rangers -110 v. A's | 4-5 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers. I like the Texas Rangers to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. The Rangers didn't look good in their previous series as they were swept by the Mariners, but they came out of the break yesterday and laid a beating on the Marlins with an 8-0 win. Their offense looked a lot better in that game and I think this is going to be another game where their offense shows up. The A's have the worst offense in the league at the moment and they are 1 of the worst teams in the league. I don't think the Rangers need to do much here to win this game and their offense has already looked really good after the All Star break with all those runs they put up yesterday, and that was against a great starter who had his worst start of the year in that game. I think the Rangers offense will stay hot here and they can put up enough runs here on the A's to make this game out of reach for them. The A's split a double-header with the Tigers yesterday but those are the 2 worst offensive teams in the league and the results were exactly what was expected as each game won was won by the team with the better starter. The Rangers do have a good lineup that has been putting up runs lately and I expect them to win this game with offense. Cole Irvin (4-7, 3.21 ERA) is up for the A's here and he has looked good all year for the team but I think he is due for a let down here I think he will get beat up on by this Rangers offense which has been hot. Spencer Howard (1-1, 6.97 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked great this year but he has been pitching a lot better in his previous starts and I think he will continue to pitch well in this game. The A's have the worst offense in the league so I don't expect much out of them here and I think Howard can shut the door on them here. I like the Rangers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Rangers. |

07-22-22 | Guardians v. White Sox -143 | 8-2 | Loss | -143 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. The White Sox have been really hot in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on that run here. Right before the All Star break, they won 5/6 of their previous 6 games but their offense has looked great in those games. They put up a ton of runs on the Twins in that series with 3/4 games seeing them put up 6+ runs. Their bullpen has also been a lot better in those games, along with their starters, and I think they are moving in the right direction now. The Guardians have looked pretty good in their games lately but they have also been playing a lot of home series lately. They have been a lot better in these home games and their most recent series was even a sweep over the Tigers, who are a terrible road team though and have 1 of the worst offenses in the league. I expect this series to be a lot more difficult for the Guardians and I don't see them winning many of these road games with how hot the White Sox are getting now. Lucas Giolito (6-5, 4.69 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he had a rough start to the year but he has looked a lot better lately and I think he is going to continue pitching well here. He wasn't great in June but he has been a lot better in his few July starts, I think he can shut down the Guardians lineup here with another good performance like he did in his most recent start. Cal Quantrill (6-5, 3.75 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has been very up and down this year. He has had some good starts but also a lot of bad starts and has been giving up 3 or 4 runs consistently in a majority of his starts. It isn't terrible to give up that many runs in a game but it does become a problem when he continues to do so all year like he has and I think he isn't going to last long against this White Sox offense. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 White Sox. |

07-22-22 | Cardinals -154 v. Reds | 5-9 | Loss | -154 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. The Cardinals just saw the Reds earlier this week and won both games against them, sweeping the mini series right before the All Star break. I think they are going to add another win onto their run here and the Reds haven't really looked that great lately anyway. The Reds were getting hot just last week but they died down right before the break, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games, and as a team that has been terrible all year I expect them lose coming out of the break here. The Cardinals are the better team and they will get a strong start to the 2nd half of the season here since they have a chance to take the division lead away from the Brewers. Adam Wainwright (6-7, 3.00 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has been a very reliable pitcher for them all year, but has also been pitching this well throughout his career so I expect him to just get better and better the deeper we get into the year. June wasn't his best month but he has been great for a majority of the year and has already had a few bounce back starts in July, pitching very well before the All Star break. The Reds don't have a great offense and they never put up more than 3 runs in a game in those 2 right before the break, I don't expect them to much on offense again here. The Cardinals were putting up a ton of runs on the Reds in those 2 games though and I expect them to do the same here. Graham Ashcraft (4-2, 4.45 ERA) is up for the Reds and he hasn't been great this year. It is only his rookie year but he hasn't made much of a positive impact on the team since he has given up a ton of runs in his starts, posting a terrible June. Even in July, he's had 2 starts now and wasn't terrible in either but he has also been giving up a ton of hits in 6 starts in a row now and I expect him to get burned by the Cardinals here since they will cash in the runs like they did in the previous series. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Cardinals. |

07-21-22 | Hamilton v. BC OVER 52 | Top | 12-17 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tiger-Cats/Lions OVER. I am on the over in the Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs BC Lions game on Thursday. The Ti-Cats haven't looked good in their games this year, they have been putting up points in their games lately but their defense has been terrible. They have given up 23+ points in every game this year and I think this is going to be another game where they give up a ton of points. Their offense hasn't been terrible though, they have still put up 25+ points in 3/4 of their previous 4 games and I think they will put up some points here too, but I expect their defense to get steamrolled in this game. The Lions have played in 4 games this year but they have won 3 of them and have pretty much gone over the total in all of those games. They just lost their 1st game of the year and had their worst offensive shoring in that game, putting up just 22 points while their defense was steamrolled giving up 43 points in that game. The Lions had put up 34+ points in all of their games before that though, and they have looked really good in all of those games as they were killing teams by large margins. They have been a great offensive team all year and I expect them to continue that here playing in this home game where their offense has been even better. Their defense has looked shaky though and has given up 22+ points in their 2 most recent games. I think the Lions are going to put up a ton of points on the Ti-Cats here since their defense hasn't been good all year and BC has had a great offense in their home building. Their defense has looked shaky lately though, and the Ti-Cats have still been putting up points consistently in their games. I expect both teams to put up points here with 2 good offenses here but 2 bad defenses. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-24 Lions. |

07-21-22 | Montreal v. Ottawa +3 | 40-33 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ottawa Redblacks. I like the Ottawa Redblacks to cover the spread against the Montreal Alouettes in this game on Thursday. The Redblacks are the only team in the CFL at the moment that don't have a win this year yet but I think their time has come here and I expect them to win this game outright and not just cover the spread. This is a home game for them and they have looked pretty good in their 2 games so far but Montreal hasn't been great in road games either and I think Ottawa can finally get a win here since they have actually looked good in a lot of their games. The Redblacks have lost all 5 games this year but only 1 of those losses looked really bad. their most recent loss was a 2 point loss in Hamilton and they also looked really good against the Lions too, losing that home game by 3 points when BC has been killing a lot of teams in their other games. Their 1st 2 games of the year were also very close losses. Both were losses to the defending Grey Cup champions, the Winninpeg Blue Bombers, but they lost the home game by a touchdown in a close 19-12 game, and they lost the road game in Winnipeg by just 2 points 19-17. I think this team has had too many close calls now and they are going to get a win sooner or later with how close they are coming in these games, and I think this is a great spot for them to get that win in a home game against another bad team. Montreal hasn't looked great in their games this year, they do have 1 win but they also have 4 losses. All 4 of their losses have also been in close games just like the Redblacks, but the Alouettes have already lost 2 close road games by 1 point this year, and I think they are going to suffer another loss like that here. I think the Redblacks have a better defense here and I expect that to be the difference in this game. The Alouettes have given up 20+ points in all of their losses this year while the Redblacks are giving up less points and still keeping their games close. I expect their defensive effort to stunt the Alouettes offense and I think the Redblacks will be able to put up a ton of points on the Alouettes defense. I like the Redblacks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 28-25 Redblacks. |

07-21-22 | Tigers -142 v. A's | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Tigers. I like the Detroit Tigers to win this 1st game of the double header on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics. The Tigers haven't looked good in their games lately, losing 4 games in a row before the All Star break came around. They were on a bit of a hot streak just before that, winning a lot of games and putting up a ton of runs in those, but they haven't looked as good lately and their offense has cooled off. I think they are going to bounce back here though and I think this is a great spot in this double header with the A's who have been terrible all year. The A's had some momentum going into the break winning their series against the Astros, but with the dew days off now they have definitely lost that moment and they have been a much worse team in their own ballpark this year. They are barely scraping over the 10 win mark in their own ballpark and they also have pretty much the worst offense in the league. Tarik Skubal (6-8, 4.11 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and I think he is going to shut down the A's offense here. He has been their guy this year and I think they have a better chance in this 1st game with him pitching. He has looked a bit shaky lately but has still showed flashes of the guy he was at the beginning of the year and I'm expecting him to bounce back with a better performance after this extended break for him. Zach Logue (3-4, 5.16 ERA) is up for the A's here and he has been terrible all year, I think he is just what the Tigers offense needs to spark and put up some runs here. They were very hot over a week ago and it doesn't take much to get them going again with a rookie pitcher here who has been giving up a ton of runs lately. He has not lasted long in his 3 most recent starts, giving up a ton of runs in all of those, and I see him giving up a ton of runs again here. I like the Tigers to win this 1st game of the double header on Thursday. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Tigers. |

07-17-22 | Diamondbacks v. Padres OVER 7.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Diamondbacks/Padres OVER. I am on the over in the Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Diego Padres game on Sunday. The Diamondbacks have played in 5 games in a row now with 7+ runs total in them. That is not enough to go over this posted total here but I think this is going to be a high scoring game and I expect to see runs from both teams like we have seen in the 1st 2 games of this series. Both teams have been putting up runs in this series and that has also been a common theme for both in their previous series too. The Padres have had 7 games in a row now with 7+ runs total in them but 6/7 of those had 8+ runs in them which would have went over the total here. Merrill Kelly (8-5, 3.36 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he looked great at the beginning of the year but he looked a bit shaky in June and has been giving up some runs in every start now consistently over his previous 6 starts. His worst start this season also came in a road game and I think he is going to give up runs in this road game since the padres have been hot with their bats lately, putting up a ton of runs themselves. Mike Clevinger (2-2, 3.79 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he also had a great start to the year but has looked quite shaky in his 2 most recent starts. He gave up 4 runs in 2 starts in a row now and I think he is going to have another game like that with the D-Backs putting up runs lately. I think this could be a closer game with both teams scoring runs back and forth and I see each team driving up the score here as they both look to take a lead. I'm expecting some runs here, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-5 Padres. |

07-17-22 | Red Sox v. Yankees UNDER 8 | 2-13 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Red Sox/Yankees UNDER. I am on the under in the Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees game on Sunday. These teams have played 6 games in a row now against each other seeing 9+ runs total in every game but I think that streak is going to end here. The Red Sox did nothing offensively in their game yesterday but their offense has also been really mediocre in their previous few games. They haven't been putting up a ton of runs lately and have quite a few games where they only put up 2 runs or less. The Yankees saw their offense explode for 14 runs in their game yesterday but they didn't do much in the game before that and I think they are going to be a bit burnt out here too. Not only is this a getaway game on Sunday here, but it is the last game before the All Star break and I think both teams are going to be looking forward to that time off, not bringing their best effort in this game. Chris Sale (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has only made 1 start this season due to injury but he looked really good in that 1 start. He gave up no runs and only 3 hits through 5 innings and left that game with a 2-0 lead before his team's bullpen blew it and ended up losing 3-2 against the Rays. Now that he has pitched in a game though the team will be letting him ramp back up so I expect him to pitch deeper into this game and be even better than his previous start. He has had a very good career and plenty of experience facing the Yankees too so I'm expecting him to step up here and keep this a low scoring game to give his team a chance since their offense isn't all there lately. Gerrit Cole (8-2, 3.05 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He has had just 1 bad start in his previous 6 starts, and that bad start was against the Red Sox last week but I expect him to have some pride in their own ballpark here and I see him bouncing back with a much better performance, turning this game into a pitcher's duel. I expect this to be a low scoring game with these starters, I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Yankees. |

07-16-22 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Angels | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers -1.5. I like the LA Dodgers runline in this game against the LA Angels on Saturday. The Dodgers have looked good lately winning 3 games in a row and their 2 most recent wins were both by 4+ runs. They already demolished the Angels 8-1 yesterday and I expect the Dodgers to put up another big performance here with this being their last game before the All Star break. They have been putting up a ton of runs in these 2 most recent games and I expect their offense to continue rolling here since the Angels haven't been great at all this year and have been giving up a ton of runs lately. The Angels have lost 2 games in a row now but they have also lost 7/8 of their previous 8 games. Julio UrÃas (7-6, 3.01 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has been great all year, not giving up a lot of runs in a majority of his starts this year. He just had a bad start in his most recent game where he gave up 5 runs in only 2 innings but he also pitched 6 games in a row before that where he didn't give up a lot of runs at all, and he was their best starter last year by far and has continued that greatness into this year. He doesn't give up a lot of hits in his starts but strikes out a lot of batters and I think the Angels lineup is going to struggle against him since they have been really cold lately. This is his 1st time facing the Angels lineup this year and I see him shutting them down here with 1 last great performance before they get a few days off now. Jose Suarez (1-3, 4.79 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. He did not pitch well at the beginning of the year, he had a really good June but has started to regress again with his 2 most recent starts seeing him give up 6 runs total between the 2 starts, but he was also taken out before getting out of the 5th innings in both. His most recent start was one where he gave up 4 runs and didn't even get out of the 4th inning, and I expect him to have another bad game against this hot lineup. The Dodgers are rolling again at the moment, I like the Dodgers runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. |

07-16-22 | Red Sox v. Yankees OVER 8.5 | Top | 1-14 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Red Sox/Yankees OVER. I am on the over in the Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees game on Saturday. The 1st game of this series yesterday already saw a ton of runs with 9 total being scored, and that is 2 games in a row now for the Red Sox where 9 runs total have been scored. They just faced the Yankees last week though and all 4 of those games against them were really high scoring, all 4 games seeing 11+ runs in them. The Yankees haven't looked great lately since they have fallen into a bit of a slump now, with 5 losses in their previous 6, but this is a series they will get up for and they should have a fire lit under them after losing such a close game to the Red Sox yesterday. The Yankees have seen 9+ runs in 8/9 of their previous 9 games and all 9 of those saw 7+ runs scored in them total. I see this being another high scoring game here with these offenses. On the surface, this game looks like it has under potential with 2 good pitchers going here but, I don't think that's the case since both of these starters have looked very shaky in their most recent starts. Nick Pivetta (8-6, 4.08 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has been really good this year but lately, he has looked really bad in his starts. He has given up 7+ runs in 2 starts in a row now and 1 of those starts was against the Yankees just last week. He gave up 6 runs in less than 4 innings against the Yankees and it is not the 1st time he has done that this year. He has faced the Yankees lineup 2 times this year and has given up 10 runs total in 9 innings played. I think he will give up runs yet again here and the Yankees are also going to be looking for a bounce back win here so I see their bats showing up today. Jameson Taillon (9-2, 4.01 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he was their best starter all year for the longest time but has started to regress a lot now. He has given up 5+ runs in 2 starts in a row now and 6+ runs in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts. His most recent start was against the Red Sox just last week and he gave up 6 runs in 5 innings of that game, giving up 3 home runs too and he has been getting killed on the long ball lately. I don't trust either of these starters to bounce back and pitch a good game here with these 2 strong lineups and the bullpen haven't been that great for both teams either. I see this being another high scoring game between these 2. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Yankees. |

07-16-22 | Braves -1.5 v. Nationals | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5. I like the Atlanta Braves runline in this game against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. The Braves have looked really good in their games lately, they hit a bit of a snag in their series against the Mets but they have still been winning a ton of games and their offense is really hot. They have won 2 games in a row now putting up 13 runs total in those 2 games and I expect them to continue that big offensive effort here against the worst team in their division. The Braves just won over the Nats yesterday with an 8-4 win and I expect them to repeat that here since the Nats have been terrible all year. They have more than double the number of losses as they do wins and they have lost 8 games in a row now, a majority of those losses by 2+ runs. The Braves swept them just last week and now the Nats are facing the best starter that this team has to offer. Max Fried (9-3, 2.56 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been great all year. He has been great all year and has had 5 starts in a row now where he gave up 2 runs or less in the game. The Nats have a terrible offense that is 1 of the worst in the league, I expect Fried to shut down their lineup here. This is also a big series for the Braves since they just lost 2/3 to the division leading Mets, and sweeping the worst team in their division here would help cut down on that 2 game lead the Mets have, so the Braves will be very motivated to sweep the Nats again here and close out their series really hot going into the All Star break. Paolo Espino (0-2, 3.42 ERA) is up for the Nats here and he has been good this year as a reliever, but he has looked shaky in his most recent appearances since he's had to start 6 games in a row now. He has given up 4+ runs in 2/3 of his 3 previous starts and giving up runs has turned into a common theme for him as a starter. I think he is going to give up runs against this hot Braves lineup and I see this being another big win for the Braves with Fried shutting them down for a majority of the game. I like the Braves runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Braves. |

07-15-22 | Brewers v. Giants UNDER 7 | 5-8 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brewers/Giants UNDER. I am on the under in the Milwaukee Brewers vs San Francisco Giants game on Friday. The 1st game of this series was yesterday and that game stayed under with a 3-2 score but I think the pitching has been great for both teams lately and I expect this to be another low scoring game. The Brewers have played in 2 games in a row now that have had 5 runs total or less scored in the game but the Brewers have not been giving up a lot of runs either while their offense has also cooled off a bit and isn't putting up as many runs in their games either. The Giants are in the same boat here with 3/4 of their previous 4 games seeing 7 runs or less total in the games but just like the Brewers, the Giants haven't been giving up a lot of runs or putting up a lot themselves. Brandon Woodruff (7-3, 4.01 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he had a rough start to the year but has been getting a lot better in his most recent starts and I expect him to pitch another gem here. He has had 6 starts in a row now where he hasn't given up more than 3 runs but he has also been striking out a ton of batters in his starts lately. I think he is going to rack up strikeouts on this Giants lineup here and the Brewers also have a great bullpen that has been pitching well lately. Alex Wood (6-7, 4.43 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he also had a rough start to the year but has been getting a lot better in his starts lately. He has been shutting down teams in 3 starts in a row now and just pitched 7 shutout innings in his most recent start. His strikeouts have also been way up lately while his hits are down and I see this being another pitcher's duel like the game yesterday. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Giants. |

07-15-22 | White Sox +125 v. Twins | 6-2 | Win | 125 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The White Sox have won 3 games in a row now and they have looked a lot better in those games too. They have finally been stringing some wins together against division opponents and I expect them to get another win here now that their offense has been picking up lately. They put up 12 runs on the Twins yesterday but they have been putting up a ton of runs in their 3 most recent games and that is great since this offense has some really good players in their lineup, now they are performing though. Their pitching has also been great in their previous 3 games since they have only given up 3 runs total in those games. The Twins haven't looked great lately as they have been cooling off, losing 2/3 of their previous 3 games and they have just 2 wins in their previous 7 games. Their offense hasn't really put up more than 3 runs on average in their 3 most recent games and their bullpen has been terrible over the last week giving up a ton of runs in a lot of games. Devin Smeltzer (4-2, 3.92 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has been good for most of the year but he has had a really bad July in his 2 starts already and I think he is starting to unravel a bit. He has had a few blow up performances this year but he gave up 3 runs in 6 innings his 1st start of July and now in his most recent start he has given up 7 runs in less than 4 innings. His strikeouts are also way down while his hits given up or increasing and this is a terrible time since he is facing a White Sox lineup that is getting really hot. The White Sox are going to beat up on him here and I expect them to put up a ton of runs again in this game. Michael Kopech (2-6, 3.35 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great all year. He has been giving up a lot of runs in his starts lately but I expect him to bounce back since he was 1 of their best starters for a majority of the year before getting injured and now he actually has a bullpen behind him that has been pitching really well lately. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 White Sox. |

07-15-22 | Mariners -155 v. Rangers | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Friday. Robbie Ray (7-6, 3.51 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has been looking a lot better in his starts lately. He didn't have a great start to the year but he has started in 6 games in a row now where he only gave up 1 run or none and I expect him to continue that here against the Rangers. Matt Bush (2-1, 3.64 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has been a reliever all year that doesn't really play more than 1 inning in games so I expect this to be a bullpen day for the Rangers. Bush has been pretty good himself this year but the Rangers bullpen has been giving up a lot of late runs in games lately and the Mariners are the hottest team in baseball right now with their 11 game win streak. The Mariners are not a team I want to step in front of right now and considering the pitching matchup here, I like the Mariners to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners. |
|||||||
07-15-22 | Tigers v. Guardians -174 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians. I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The Guardians haven't looked great lately but they just won their most recent game over the Tigers to start this series off on the right foot, and I think they are going to get another win here in their ballpark. The Tigers were on a little run just over a week ago but they have cooled off significantly and are back to playing at their usual level. The Tigers haven't been good in road games this year though and I think the Guardians are going to take advantage of that here. It was just over a week ago that these 2 teams face each other in a 4 game series in Detroit which the Tigers swept. I think that sweep is still fresh in the Guardians minds though and I expect a much better effort from them in this entire series. Zach Plesac (2-7, 3.99 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has been great this year. He gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and didn't look that great but he also had 7 starts in a row before that where he looked great and I think he will bounce back in this game after that bad performance last time out. The Tigers have 1 of the weakest lineups and offenses in the league too so I see him shutting down the Tigers here, who are already much worse in road games too. Drew Hutchison (1-4, 4.08 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he was moved into this role from the bullpen midway through the year but he hasn't been terrible in his 4 starts, giving up no more than 3 runs in any of those. He doesn't usually go more than 5 innings though and he has had a few blow up innings this year as a reliever so going the distance isn't something he's really used to. He also doesn't strikeout a lot of batters while giving up quite a few hits and I think he will get himself into trouble here with this Guardians lineup that hits well against the shift in their own ballpark. I expect the Guardians to still have that sweep on their minds here and I think they will win this game to try and get them back. I like the Guardians to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Guardians. |

07-14-22 | Brewers v. Giants -102 | 3-2 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants. I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. The Giants have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now and have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games with their offense picking up a lot in these games. I think they are going to continue on their roll here now that are getting in their groove and I expect another home win here since they have been putting up a ton of runs in their games lately. The Brewers haven't looked good in their games lately, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games but their offense hasn't looked great in those games either. They haven't been putting up a ton of runs lately and I think that will be an issue for them here with the Giants getting hot on offense lately. Carlos Rodon (8-5, 2.70 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has looked great for them this year. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 7/8 of his previous 8 starts and has been pitching very deep into these games too. The Brewers offense has already been struggling lately and I expect them to struggle more with Rodon pitching in this game. Corbin Burnes (7-4, 2.20 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he has also looked really good in his starts all year. He has had 6 starts in a row now that have been great, not giving up many runs at all but he has also been getting a ton of run support from his teams in those games he has been pitching in. The Brewers offense is cold at the moment and I don't think they are going to break out of this funk with a pitcher as good as Rodon is on the other side here. I think this game could come down to offense with these 2 starters and the Giants have been much hotter with their offense lately, also being the home team here. I like the Giants to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Giants. |

07-14-22 | White Sox +145 v. Twins | 12-2 | Win | 145 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. The White Sox have won 2 games in a row now and I think they are going to add to that here with a win making it 3 in a row. They just split their series with the Guardians, winning the last 2 games of that series, but they did the same thing with the Tigers just before that and have been struggling in their games against these division teams. This is another important series for them with the division leading Twins here but I expect them to start putting in a better effort to close the gap in the division and I think this is a good spot for them to win here. The Twins just split a mini series with the Brewers but they haven't looked great in their games lately and their offense has really been cooling off over the previous few games. Johnny Cueto (3-4, 2.91 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked great for them all year. He hasn't had a bad start in 7 starts in a row now and I expect him to keep that up here since he has been really consistent all year. I think he is going to shut down the Twins lineup here with how well he has been pitching all year and he has already done so in July, pitching 6 innings against them last week and only giving up 2 runs as his team went on to lose. The Twins offense was a lot hotter during that series though and I expect there to be a different result here with their offense cooling off lately. Sonny Gray (4-2, 3.03 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has looked great all year but has also looked a bit shaky in his most recent starts. He had a great start to the year, not giving up more than 2 runs in any of his 1st 7 starts this year. He has missed some time with injuries though and hasn't been quite as good since coming back now. He has given up 8 runs total in his 2 most recent starts, not even pitching more than 5 innings in either start, and he just gave up 5 runs in his previous start getting credited with the loss in that game. I think he is going to continue struggle in his starts coming back from his injury and I expect the White Sox lineup to bring in some runs here. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox. |

07-13-22 | Padres -157 v. Rockies | 6-10 | Loss | -157 | 14 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. The Padres haven't looked good in their games lately but I think they will bounce back here with their ace pitcher starting in this game. The Padres have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games and haven't been putting up a ton of offense in those but I don't think they will need many runs to win here with Musgrove starting, and playing at Coors Field should help spark their offense to put up some runs too. The Rockies have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they haven't looked great lately either with their offense barely producing runs in their games. They have already been really cold as a lineup but they are going to struggle even more with this pitching matchup. Joe Musgrove (8-2, 2.09 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been really consistent all year, being the best starter on this staff this year. He hasn't had many bad starts this year either and has already faced this Rockies lineup this year, pitching in 6 scoreless innings against them. It will be a tougher task at Coors Field here but he has also been striking out a ton of batters in his starts lately and will be able to shut down the Rockies lineup which has been really cold lately. Chad Kuhl (6-5, 4.02 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he hasn't looked terrible this year but he has given up a lot of runs in a majority of his starts, including 5/6 of his previous 6 starts. He hasn't really been lasting longer than 5 innings in his starts and this Padres lineup has already faced him this year, cashing in 5 runs on him in less than 5 innings. I expect the Padres to get on him early here and I see them putting up a ton of runs in this ballpark. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Padres. |

07-13-22 | White Sox -110 v. Guardians | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. The White Sox haven't looked great in their games lately but they finally won a game over the Guardians yesterday and I think they will pick up another win here with a chance to split this series. These are really important games for the White Sox since the division is slowly slipping away from them with both the Guardians and the Twins ahead of them now. They can't afford to be losing these games to the Guardians but now that they have pulled off a 7-0 win over them, I expect to see that again here with that offense starting to pick up more in their games. They have been putting up a lot of runs in their games lately and their lineup is also slowly getting some of their stronger players back from injury so they are going to be turning things around soon. Their pitching has also been getting a lot better after a terrible start to the year and I expect them to have another great outing here after that shutout performance last night. The Guardians haven't looked great lately themselves and were not winning many games coming into this series. They had lost 2 series in a row to the Tigers and the Royals, even getting swept in 4 games by the Tigers, and those are both teams with some of the weakest offenses in the league. Lucas Giolito (5-5, 5.05 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great for them all year. He has been putting up a lot of good numbers in his starts all year, he just had a bad start in his most recent one, giving up 5 runs in that start, but he also struck out 8 batters and that is going to bite against a weaker offensive team like the Guardians have been lately. Aaron Civale (2-5, 6.28 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked terrible all year. He finally had 1 good start in his most recent one but that has not been a common theme for him this year, giving up a ton of runs in a majority of his starts this year. He also faced the Royals in that good start and they have 1 of the worst offenses in the league. The White Sox have a really good lineup and they just put up 7 runs on the Guardians last night, they will put up runs on Civale here early in this game. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 White Sox. |

07-13-22 | Reds v. Yankees -1.5 | 6-7 | Loss | -150 | 13 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees -1.5. I like the New York Yankees runline in this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. The Yankees have lost 3 games in a row now but that is really rare for the best team in baseball this year and I think they will bounce back with a better performance here. They haven't looked bad in their losses either, 2/3 of their losses were by 1 run and their offense has still been putting up runs in every game. They lost the 1st game of this series to the Reds 4-3 but they had a 2-0 lead in the 1st inning and held onto their 3-0 lead the entire game until Clay Holmes came in the game in the 9th inning to close it out and ended up blowing it completely. That could've easily been a 3-0 win for the Yankees if they get out of that 9th inning and I don't see something like that happening again here. The Reds are still 1 of the worst teams in this league and I expect the Yankees to lay a beating on them here to bounce back and get back in the win column. Luis Severino (5-3, 3.11 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has been great this season. He had some rough starts in June but has dialed it back in each of his previous 4 starts and has been getting a lot better in each start, giving up no runs through 6 innings in his most recent start. He shut down the Pirates lineup in that previous start, giving up no runs to them, and I think he will do the same here with another bad offense in the Reds here. Mike Minor (1-6, 6.63 ERA) is up for the Reds here and he's been having a terrible year. He has only started in 7 games this year but has given up a ton of runs in those games. He hasn't had a start this year where he didn't give up any runs at all and I expect him to give up a ton of runs here facing the best offense in baseball right now. I like the Yankees runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Yankees. |

07-12-22 | Diamondbacks v. Giants OVER 8 | 0-13 | Win | 100 | 12 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Diamondbacks/Giants OVER. I am on the over in the Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants in this game on Tuesday. The D-Backs have been in 2 low scoring games in a row now that both went under the posted total but I think this game is going to go over the total. They had 9 games in a row before these previous 2 where they had 7+ runs total in the games and their starting pitcher here is not going to help in keeping this score down. The Giants have had some lower scoring games lately but have also put up 15 runs in their 2 most recent games and I think they are going to put up a ton of runs here. Dallas Keuchel (2-6, 7.63 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he has looked terrible in almost every single start this year. He was released by the White Sox earlier this year and for good reason since he gave up a ton of runs in each of his starts there and even finished off his tenure with them posting 2 starts in a row where he gave up 6 runs in each game, pitching just 6 innings between the 2 games. He hasn't found success with his new team here either since he has given up 3+ runs in all 3 starts for the D-Backs and has given up 6+ hits in every game too. I think he is going to give up a ton of runs here and with the Giants bats starting to wake up lately, I think they are going to make him pay here if he keeps letting players get on base against him. Logan Webb (7-3, 2.98 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has looked good this year but he just had a bad start in his 2 most recent games and has been giving up a lot of hits with very little strikeouts in those games too. He pitched in a very high leverage situation his last outing, pitching 8 innings and giving up just 1 run in a loss to the Padres, but I don't see him replicating that performance here and the D-Backs will need to get on their offense early here since Keuchel is always good for some early runs in his starts. I see there being a ton of runs scored in this game by both teams, I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Giants. |

07-12-22 | Reds v. Yankees -1.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -144 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees -1.5. I like the New York Yankees runline in this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. The Yankees have lost 2 games in a row now after losing the last 2 games of their series against the Red Sox but they are back in their own ballpark here against 1 of the worst teams in the league and I expect them to get a nice bounce back win against the Reds here. They had won 3 games in a row before that and have been playing at an extremely high level all year. They also just had a day off so I expect them to come out rested here and have a big offensive game since they have been scoring a ton of runs lately too. The Reds have won 4 games in a row now and are coming off a rare sweep over the Rays in their previous series but they did play that series in their own ballpark and I don't see them extending their good fortune as of late to this road series. The Yankees have their ace pitcher Gerrit Cole (8-2, 3.26 ERA) up for this game and he has been pitching well this year. He just had a bad start in his most recent appearance, giving up 5 runs in 6 innings, but he put together 4 great starts in a row just before that and I expect him to bounce back with a better performance here. It isn't often that he puts up bad numbers in a start like that so I don't see him putting together 2 bad starts in a row here when he has bounce bad the next game after a bad start all year. The Reds have Graham Ashcraft (4-2, 4.35 ERA) up for this game and he has not been great this year but he is also still in his rookie year and is going to have a tall task ahead of him here with the best lineup in baseball coming at him. He hasn't had many starts this year and has already had a few bad games, I think he is going to fold here against the best offense in baseball. I expect the Yankees to put up runs here and blow the Reds out of the water. I like the Yankees runline here. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Yankees. |

07-12-22 | Dodgers -140 v. Cardinals | 6-7 | Loss | -140 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Dodgers have been very hot in their games lately. They have won 7 games in a row now, sweeping the Rockies in 4 games of their previous series, and they won 11/12 of their previous 12 games just to show how hot they've really been over the previous 2 weeks. I expect them to continue their huge run here over a struggling Cardinals team. The Cards have won 2 games in a row now but they haven't really looked great in their games, losing 6/7 of their previous 7 games before those 2 wins in a row. The Cardinals put up 10 runs total in their 2 most recent games but their offense was not great in their games before that and I can see it dying down again with this hot Dodgers team coming into town. Mitch White (1-1, 3.38 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has had a good year so far. He hasn't pitched deep in many games this year but he also hasn't had an outing where he gave up more than 3 runs and I don't see him having a bad outing here with this Cardinals offense looking shaky lately. Even if he does give up runs here, the Dodgers can post a lot of runs themselves and did so over the weekend, even erasing an early 8-3 deficit in 1 of their games winning it in the end. Matthew Liberatore (2-1, 4.74 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he hasn't been great in his few starts this year, I expect the Dodgers to put up runs on him here. He hasn't pitched past the 5th inning in any start this year and has given up 4+ runs in half of those starts. He gets himself into a lot of trouble with base runners in games and doesn't strikeout a lot of batters either so I expect to see him getting himself into trouble here with this hot lineup. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. |

07-11-22 | Diamondbacks v. Giants UNDER 7.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Diamondbacks/Giants UNDER. I am on the under in the Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants game on Monday. The Diamondbacks have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately but they just had a low scoring 3-2 loss in their most recent game and I think this game is going to follow suit with that game. They haven't looked good lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they were just in a series last week against the Giants in their own ballpark where all 3 games had 8+ runs in them. The Giants just played a game where they put up 12 runs but they had been involved in some lower scoring games just before that and I don't think their offense is going to keep that performance up since they have shown that they can't and normally follow up those big offensive games with a very weak offensive game in their next. I think this is going to be low scoring with these 2 pitchers though. Merrill Kelly (7-5, 3.42 ERA) is up for the Diamondbacks here and he has been great all year, being one of the most consistent pitchers the Diamondbacks have this year. His most recent start was also against the Giants last week but he pitched great in that game, only giving up 2 runs and leaving the game with a lead that the bullpen ended up blowing for him. He still pitched 6+ innings in that game and considering what happened last time, I expect him to strive to be better here and last longer in this game with less runs given up. He has had many performances like that all year where he goes 7+ innings without giving up more than 2 runs and I expect him to do that here too. Alex Cobb (3-3, 4.74 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he has also been good all year, but has looked a lot better in his starts lately. He had 4 great starts in a row before giving up 4 runs against the Diamondbacks in his most recent start but I expect him to come with a better game plan and I can see this turning into a bit of a pitcher's duel with how bad these 2 offenses have been this year. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Giants. |

07-11-22 | Mets v. Braves -123 | 4-1 | Loss | -123 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the New York Mets on Monday. The Braves have looked really hot lately, winning 3 games in a row now and 6/7 of their previous 7 games. They have cut down the lead the Mets have over them to 1.5 games now and I think they are going to be highly motivated here in this home series to take over the lead in the division. Their offense has looked really good in their games but their pitching has also been great and I expect them to shut down a Mets lineup that hasn't been producing lately. The Mets haven't looked great lately, losing 2/3 of their previous 3 games to the Marlins and they were really struggling to put up runs in those games. Max Fried (9-2, 2.52 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been great all year. He rarely puts up a bad start and even when he has this year, it hasn't even been that bad of a start with a majority of his starts seeing him give up 2 runs or less. I think he is going to shut down the Mets lineup here as they continue to struggle like they have in their games lately. Max Scherzer (5-1, 2.26 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has also been great this year but this is only his 2nd start back from an injury and I expect him to be a bit off here in this road game against this division rival. He hasn't really had any bad starts this year but he has also burnt himself out already and this has been an issue for him in past seasons too. I don't think he will be able to pitch deep into this game since they only let him pitch 6 innings in his most recent start back from injury and I expect the Braves to put up some runs on the Mets bullpen here. Even if they do pitch a great game, the offense hasn't been performing well lately and I think that will be their downfall here. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Braves. |

07-10-22 | Giants v. Padres -110 | 12-0 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The Padres have looked good lately, winning 2/3 of their 3 games against the Giants here and I think they are going to take the series here. The Giants haven't looked good at all lately, losing 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they were also losing a lot of games going into this series and they haven't even had a tough schedule lately either. Alex Wood (5-7, 4.83 ERA) is up for the Giants here and he hasn't been great this year, I expect him to give up some runs against the Padres here. Wood had a good start in his most recent game but he also had 3 bad starts in a row right before that and that has been a common theme for him this year since he has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts. The Padres have been hot in their ballpark here lately and I expect them to put up the runs on a slumping Giants team. MacKenzie Gore (4-3, 3.18 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has been having a good year so far. He's still in his rookie year but he has been great, he doesn't give up many runs in his starts other than 2 bad starts he had but a majority of his starts this year have been very good and with many shutout performances. He had 2 great starts in his 2 most recent starts and I expect him to have another great start here with a Giants offense that has been slumping. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Padres. |

07-10-22 | Marlins v. Mets OVER 7 | 2-0 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marlins/Mets OVER. I am on the over in the Miami Marlins vs New York Mets game on Sunday. The Marlins haven't looked great lately losing a lot of their games but their pitching hasn't really been great in those games and they have been in a few really high scoring games. The total here is sitting right around 7 and they have seen 7+ runs in 4 games in a row now without even producing a lot offense themselves. The Mets have looked really good lately as they continue to win more games but they have also been in a lot of high scoring affairs due to their great offense. They have seen 7+ runs in 4 games in a row too but they have been contributing a lot of runs in those games. I think this is going to be a game that they are both motivated to win here, with the Marlins looking to split the series and the Mets looking to increase their lead in the division. I see their being a lot of runs here but I expect it to be a closer game with both teams contributing. Sandy Alcantara (9-3, 1.82 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has been great this year as he doesn't give up many runs at all. He doesn't give up many runs this year but the games he starts in have been going over the posted total a lot this year because his team usually gives him a lot of run support which I expect them to do here. The Mets also have a very good offense and Alcantara hasn't been as good in road games so I expect the Mets to put up some runs on him here and force some offense out of the Marlins. Taijuan Walker (7-2, 2.86 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has been really good all year despite coming off of an injury that kept him out of the early part of the season. He has looked a little shaky lately though, with 2/3 of his 3 most recent start seeing him give up 3 runs in each and I expect him to give up a few runs in this game too. I can see both teams putting up around 4 runs though and with this low total, I see this going over. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-5 Mets. |

07-09-22 | Nationals v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -120 | 5 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5. I like the Atlanta Braves runline in this game against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. The Braves have been really hot in their games lately, winning 4/5 of their previous 5 games and just had a 12-2 win over the Nats in the 1st game of this series. The Braves have been hot since the start of the June, they had a very slow start to the year but they have won so many games over the last month that they have cut down on what was a 10+ game lead for the Mets in their division to just 2.5 games behind now. I think they smell the blood in the water here and I expect them to continue their surge into the All Star break as they look to take over for the lead of the division before then. The Nats are in last place in their division since they are a terrible team and have been all year, near the bottom of the league with their record overall. The Braves have also been pitching really well lately, giving up just 6 runs total in their previous 4 games. Their offense has also been really hot and I expect that to continue here with this pitching matchup. Patrick Corbin (4-10, 5.68 ERA) is up for the Nationals here and he has looked terrible this year. He has looked good in his 2 most recent starts but he has also been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year and he has had good performances like this mixed in but it usually doesn't last long for him, and with 2 good starts in a row right now I don't see him having another in this game against this hot lineup. Kyle Wright (9-4, 2.91 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has looked great all year, being 1 of the most reliable starters for the Braves this year. He hasn't had many bad starts this year and it isn't very often that he does. He has put up great numbers in his 2 most recent starts and I expect him to shut down this bad Nats offense here. I see the Braves continuing to roll in this game. I like the Braves runline here. T.M. Prediction: 8-1 Braves. |

07-09-22 | Rays -147 v. Reds | 4-5 | Loss | -147 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. The Rays just lost a very close game in extra innings, losing 2-1 to the Reds in the 10th inning, but their pitching was great in that game and there wasn't a lot of offense to go around. Despite that loss, the Rays have looked really good lately winning 2/3 games against the Red Sox and 3/5 games against the Blue Jays, both being road series for them too. This is another road series for them too but the Reds are also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. The Reds have won 2 games in a row now but they are a team with just 30 wins and I don't see their good fortune here continuing any longer. They got away yesterday winning the pitcher's duel but today the matchup is better for the Rays here and I expect them to take advantage of the Reds here. Hunter Greene (3-10, 6.01 ERA) is up for the Reds here and he hasn't looked good all year. He is in his rookie year still but he has been struggling lately, giving up 6 runs in his most recent start, and he has done that twice in his previous 4 starts. He has also been consistently bad, giving up 3+ runs in 4 starts in a row now, and the Rays have been hitting really well over the last week as their offense has been picking up. I think he is going to pitch a bad game here and the Reds don't have much of a bullpen to back him up here either as they have been used a lot over the last week. Drew Rasmussen (5-3, 3.30 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has looked good all year so far. There has been a few shaky starts for him this year but he hasn't had many and he just bounced back in his previous outing off a bad start before that. The Rays also have a much better bullpen to back him up if things start to go south and I think the Rays will be bouncing back here. I like the Rays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Rays. |

07-09-22 | Tigers v. White Sox -156 | 0-8 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. The White Sox have lost 2 games in a row now but they have also lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games, including a series to the Twins, but I think it is time they bounce back here. They are in their own ballpark and can't afford to keep losing games to these bad teams, especially the bad teams in their own division. I expect them to step up here and get the win over a Tigers team that is really hot now, winning 6 games in a row, but has also been really bad in road games this year and having already won 2 in a row here over the White Sox, I think it's time they lose a game. Johnny Cueto (2-4, 3.30 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great all year. The White Sox picked him up earlier in the year hoping that he would fill in a must needed spot in the rotation when their pitching wasn't great and they were getting a lot of bad outings from their guys. He has been nothing but great though, with only 1 start where he gave up more than 3 runs this year, and I think he's going to pitch another great game here against the Tigers who have an offense near the bottom of the league. Garrett Hill (1-0, 1.50 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he has only made 1 other start in the MLB since he is still in his rookie year. He was great in that start, giving up just 1 run in 6 innings against the Guardians but he also facing a better lineup here that has had some players return from injury this week and is now a lot healthier than they have been all year. I think the bats are going to wake up here for the White Sox with this rookie starting and I'm expecting a win out of them here. I like the White Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 White Sox. |

07-08-22 | Phillies v. Cardinals +115 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals. I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The Cardinals haven't looked good in their games lately but they won the last game of their series against the Braves, avoiding the sweep there, and I think they are going to string some wins together now that they have bounced back a bit. The Phillies have looked good lately, winning 3/4 of their previous 4 games. They also took 2/3 games against the Cardinals just last weekend and I think the Cardinals still have that fresh in their minds. I expect the Cardinals to step up here and take this 1st game of the series with it being back in their own ballpark. Adam Wainwright (6-6, 3.26 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has been great this year. He just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start and he has looked a bit shaky lately too but he has had great numbers throughout his career and he has been putting up similar numbers here all year, I expect him to bounce back in this start and pitch a better game. His previous start was also against the Phillies so I expect him to come with a better gameplan here and he has also been a lot better all year in his home starts so I expect a good performance from him here. Zack Wheeler (7-4, 2.66 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he has been really good this year too. He gave up no runs in his most recent start but he was also looking shaky in his starts right before that and he has put up better numbers in their home games all year. He hasn't been great in road games this year with some of his worst starts of the year coming in road games and I think he is going to have another bad road start here since he just saw this lineup in his most recent start. I think the Cardinals have a bit of momentum from that late win over the Braves and I expect that to carry over here. I like the Cardinals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Cardinals. |

07-08-22 | Twins -114 v. Rangers | 5-6 | Loss | -114 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Friday. The Twins have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 2 series in a row now and they even had a chance to sweep the White Sox in their most recent series but they continued to blow leads in that game and went on to lose in extra innings. I think they are a very hot team right now though and I expect them to continue on their run as of late with another win over the Rangers here. The Rangers have lost 6/7 of their previous 7 games and have lost 4 games in a row now, including a sweep by the Orioles in their most recent series. The Rangers are back in their own ballpark for this series but I don't think it will help them much since they haven't been a great home team this year. Jon Gray (4-4, 3.96 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked great for a majority of the year. He put together a really good June but he wasn't pitching well going into June and he has already started off July with another bad start, giving up 4 runs in his most recent start. The Twins have been hot lately, putting up a ton of runs in their games and I expect them to put up runs on Gray here as he begins to regress now. Sonny Gray (4-1, 2.47 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has been great all year. He gave up 3 runs in his most recent start but that has been his worst performance this year and I expect him to bounce back here since he has been better than that all year. I think he is going to shut down the Rangers lineup here that just struggled to put up runs against the Orioles, and the Twins have a top 10 offense in the league so I see them putting up runs here. I like the Twins to win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |

07-07-22 | Tigers v. White Sox -1.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox -1.5. I like the Chicago White Sox runline in this game against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. The White Sox have looked good in their games lately, they just lost 2/3 to the Twins in their most recent series but they did sweep the Giants over the weekend right before that and they fought hard in their game yesterday to keep coming back and end up winning in extra innings. The White Sox looked great with their offense in their previous game, being down 5 different times in the game but tying it up each time and winning it in the 10th inning. The Tigers have also looked really good in their games lately, winning 4 in a row now with a clean sweep over the Guardians but that series was also in their own ballpark where they have won a majority of their games this year. They haven't looked great in their road games this year and I think they are going to fall flat on their face in this road series against the White Sox. The White Sox just blew their opportunity to close the gap on the Twins, who lead their division, but with that series blown now I expect them to have the motivation to beat up on another division rival here and get a series win. They should be looking to sweep a bad Tigers team here that has been terrible in road games and has 1 of the worst offenses in the league. Dylan Cease (7-3, 2.51 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great this year. He has had 4 great starts in a row, not giving up more than 1 run in any of those starts. He has had a few bad starts this year but a majority of his starts has been those great performances where he doesn't even give up more than 1 run and I expect that from him here with 1 of the worst offensive lineups in baseball. Beau Brieske (1-6, 4.54 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he hasn't looked great this year, still in his rookie year. He just had 3 starts in a row where he didn't look great, giving up 12 runs in those 3 starts, and he hasn't been striking out a lot of batters either. The White Sox are getting healthy now with Eloy Jimenez rejoining their lineup and that will help both their batting and their defense. I expect the White Sox to start turning the corner soon and make a push for their division lead, and I think that is going to start with this series against the Tigers. I like the White Sox runline here. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 White Sox. |

07-06-22 | Cardinals v. Braves -1.5 | 0-3 | Win | 120 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5. I like the Atlanta Braves runline in this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. The Braves have won 2 games in a row now, both wins in this series against the Cardinals, but they have also won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and have looked really good lately. They went on a huge run in June to put a lot of pressure on the Mets now, only 2.5 games behind them for the lead of their division, and they have continued their run now as they are really hot and showing everyone why they are the defending World Series champions. They just beat the Cardinals 2 games in a row by 3+ runs in both games and their pitching has been great as of late. The Cardinals haven't really looked good lately, they have lost 3 games in a row and 5/6 of their previous 6 games but they have also been giving up a ton of runs in their games and that is going to be trouble against this Braves lineup that has been hot at bat. Miles Mikolas (5-6, 2.61 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked good this year but he just had a bad start in his most recent game and i think the Braves lineup will put up some runs on him here. Max Fried (8-2, 2.66 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has looked great all year. His worst start of the year was in his very 1st start this year where he gave up 5 runs but hasn't given up that many runs in any starts since then. I expect him to shut down the Cardinals lineup here that hasn't been putting up a ton of runs lately and I see the Braves continuing their run here to take over the lead in their division. I like the Braves runline here. T.M. Prediction: 5-0 Braves. |

07-06-22 | Blue Jays -1.5 v. A's | 2-1 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays runline against the Oakland Athletics in this game on Wednesday. The Blue Jays have lost 5 games in a row now and haven't looked very good in those losses but they are a better team than the A's are and I expect the Blue Jays to bounce back here after 2 losses in a row to the A's now. The A's haven't looked good at all this year, they have the worst offense in the league along with 1 of the worst records and before this series against the Blue Jays, they had lost 6/7 of their previous 7 games. The Blue Jays have been losing a lot of their games lately with their pitching but I think they are going to be better off in this game. Jose Berrios (6-4, 5.72 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has been very up and down this year but he has had some really good starts and I expect him to pitch well against the worst offense in baseball here. He had 2 really bad starts before his most recent start but pitched well in that previous start, only giving up 2 runs in 5 innings. I expect him to step up for his team here and pitch deep into this game, their bullpen has also been a bit more rested now so they should have some better arms available for them here. James Kaprielian (1-5, 5.43 ERA) is up for the A's here and he has not looked good at all this year. He has had some good starts this year but a majority of his starts have been bad seeing him give up a ton of runs and I think he is going to do the same here against this very good Blue Jays lineup. The Blue Jays haven't been cashing in a lot of their chances to score runs but they are getting players on base and that is going to correct itself eventually since the Blue Jays have 1 of the best offenses in the league at the moment and they are not even performing to their best ability. The Blue Jays have to take a game here and stop the bleeding and I think this is a great spot for them. I like the Blue Jays runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Blue Jays. |

07-05-22 | Twins v. White Sox -123 | 8-2 | Loss | -123 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. The White Sox have looked really good lately and are starting to get really hot in their games. They have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games, their only loss being in the 1st game of this series yesterday, but their offense is getting hot and putting up a ton of runs in their games. I think they are going to have another big offensive game here against the Twins and I don't see the Twins putting up a ton of runs here. The Twins have also looked good in their games lately, still leading their division just slightly, but while the White Sox were sweeping the Giants in San Francisco over the weekend, the Twins were just barely scraping by the Orioles in their own ballpark with 2/3 wins in that series and both wins coming by just 1 run. The Twins have looked really good for a majority of the year but they have also been playing a lot better than they actually are and I think they are going to start falling soon. This is the perfect series to do so in with the White Sox just 5.5 games out of 1st place here, they have some real motivation to win the next few games of this series. Chris Archer (2-3, 3.08 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he has looked good this year but I think he is going to have a bad start here. The White Sox offense has been getting hot with them scoring a lot more runs lately and Archer has been good this year not giving up a lot of runs, but he also doesn't strikeout a lot of batters and the White Sox know how to get on base here. I think they are going to get on base against him and do some damage to bring in some runs here. Michael Kopech (2-5, 2.78 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he hasn't looked great lately but he has still been their best starter all year and I expect him to bounce back with a good performance like he has given in a majority of his starts this year. He has even faced the Twins 1 time this year and shut them out over 5 innings with 7 strikeouts, his team still lost that game with a blown bullpen save though. The bullpen has been a lot better for the White Sox lately though and they have a lot of good arms in that bullpen so with them looking a lot better now, they will have no issues keeping the Twins off the board here. I like the White Sox to bounce back here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 White Sox. |

07-05-22 | Cardinals v. Braves -135 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Braves have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games, dropping 1 game to the Reds in their most recent series, but they started this series off against the Cardinals with a win on Monday and I think they are going to make this a 2 game run with another win here. The Braves have looked really good lately, after getting a slow start to the year they had a great June, going on a huge run to shrink the lead of the Mets in the division. They are only 3.5 games behind the Mets now and I expect them to be motivated to keep winning games and take over as the division leader. The Cardinals haven't looked lately, losing 2 games in a row and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They put up 7 runs in the 1 game they won during that time but they haven't been doing much offensively in their other games and I expect that issue to show up again in this game. Ian Anderson (6-5, 5.31 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't looked good lately but he had a decent start to the year and I expect him to bounce back in this game. He gave up 7 runs in 2 innings in his most recent start but that was his worst start of the year and he has been a good pitcher in their home ballpark this year. I don't see him giving up that many runs in this game and he usually strikes out a lot of batters so I expect him to bounce back with a better performance here. Andre Pallante (2-3, 2.10 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has been good this year but he also hasn't had many starts either. He is in his rookie year but is mainly a reliever and has been for a majority of the year. He just started getting starts in his 3 most recent games but he has been giving up runs in every start and is not striking out a lot of batters. The Braves have been really hot with their bats lately and I think the defending World Series champions are going to show Pallante here that he still needs a lot more work in this league to be good. I expect them to bring in runs here and with his lack of strikeouts in his starts, I expect this experienced lineup to drag out their at bats and stretch these innings out for a while. I like the Braves to win this game and continue their run. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. |
