04-04-23 | Angels v. Mariners -163 | 2-11 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - ML Jose Suarez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Luis Castillo (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. LAA definitely has some talent, and maybe even the best two players on the planet right now, but the Mariners will be coming to dominate in this one. Castillo is the Mariners ace. He's already pitched this season and he looked great. The Mariners are a team that could make some noise this season in the playoffs. With the addition of Teo Hernandez, I believe that they've got a shot. Looking at this matchup, they do not want to lose back to back series' to start the season. I believe that behind Castillo, the M's will provide quality at bats and that will lead to this victory. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mariners. Line: -158 Line Parameter: play until -200.. |

04-04-23 | Blue Jays -161 v. Royals | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays - ML Yusei Kikuchi (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Kris Bubic (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. If spring was any indicator for success, I believe that Yusei Kikuchi could be in for a bounce back season this year. His numbers last season were definitely below average, but his spring stats were phenomenal this year. On the other hand, Bubic had even worse numbers than Kikuchi last season. This Jays team has already shown that they can provide runs, even without the long ball clicking. It's just a matter of time before the bombs start to fly. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Jays. Line: -149 Line Parameter: play until -190.. |

04-03-23 | Cubs -117 v. Reds | 6-7 | Loss | -117 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Cubs - ML Drew Smyly (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Connor Overton (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Chicago Cubs to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Although the Reds currently own the better record, I fully believe that the Cubs own the better squad in this matchup. CHC will turn to Smyly, a capable lefty, who I believe will be quite solid against the Reds. I mean, the Red don't have much. They barely beat the Pirates, possibly the worst team in the league, and I don't think they'll have much success this series. Overton hasn't pitched much in the Majors. Expect the veteran filled lineup to eat here today. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Cubs. Line: -116 Line Parameter: play until -150.. |

04-03-23 | Mets +112 v. Brewers | Top | 0-10 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets - ML Carlos Carrasco (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Freddy Peralta (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the New York Mets to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. You may think that Carrasco is getting old and won't be as capable. But, last year, he was actually very strong. With his 15-7 record, he owned an ERA under four. He's 2-1 in his career against the Brewers and should have no problem here. In fact, this is the perfect opening matchup for him. The Milwaukee lineup is poor and they are coming off a big game. On the other hand, Peralta is just decent. He went 4-4 last season and wasn't really that strong. In his one start against the Mets, he may have won, but he gave up 4 ERs in just 5.1 innings pitched. The Mets are definitely the better team in this matchup and I believe they own the better pitcher. At plus money, this was an easy selection. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mets. Line: +106 Line Parameter: play until -140.. |

04-02-23 | White Sox v. Astros -162 | 6-3 | Loss | -162 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astors - ML Mike Clevinger (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Luis Garcia (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. After losing the opening game of the season, the defending champs finally have started to look like themselves.They;ve got a few games under their belt now, and should be able to dominate throughout this season. The White Sox are not bad, but the Astros just have too much fire power for them. In his career, Clevinger is just 1-3 against the Astros. He gave up 5 ERs in his last meeting against them. For Garcia, he's never lost against the White Sox in his pro career. I've got the defending champs winning again here on Sunday afternoon. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Astros. Line: -164 Line Parameter: play until -180.. |

04-01-23 | Phillies -113 v. Rangers | 3-16 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies - ML Zack Wheeler (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Nathan Eovaldi (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Compared to Eovaldi & most of the MLB, Wheeler has been absolutely dominant over the past few seasons. In each of the past three campaigns, Wheeler has posted an ERA under three. He helped the Phillies reach the World Series last year, which was a huge accomplishment. Eovaldi may have had a solid season, but I've got Wheeler any day of the week. The Phillies lost the opener in a shootout. I don't expect as many runs here, but I've got the defending NL Champs in this one as they should put up a hitting masterclass. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Phillies. Line: -123 Line Parameter: play until -160.. |

03-30-23 | Rockies v. Padres -190 | 7-2 | Loss | -190 | 36 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres - ML German Marquez (0-0 0.00 ERA) .. Blake Snell (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Although this line is pretty big, I still love the Padres on Opening Day. San Diego is one of the teams that I'm monitoring to win the whole thing this year. Once Tatis comes back, they could be a real threat come playoff time. The pitching matchup also stands out in this game. Snell looked very sharp to end last season, and Marquez didn't look like anything special. I get that he played in Colorado, but with his 9-13 record, I don't see why the Padres won't pick him apart to open the season. Give me the Padres here to win the first game of 2023. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Padres. Line: -191 Line Parameter: play until -225.. |

03-28-23 | Dodgers -110 v. Angels | 5-13 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Los Angeles Dodgers - ML I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. These teams played yesterday, with the Angles winning a close one 5-4. Today, in the last game of Spring, I've got the Dodgers bouncing back. LAD might not have the lineup that they once had, but they still own one of the best rosters in the big leagues. LAA still rely's mostly on Trout and Ohtani to do most of the damage. LAD should win this game to gain confidence as Opening Day is right around the corner. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Dodgers. Line: -120 Line Parameter: play until -150.. |

03-27-23 | Cardinals +105 v. Orioles | 8-2 | Win | 105 | 4 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St. Louis Cardinals - ML I like the St. Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. St. Louis is coming off an absolutely horrendous performance. I mean it was 24-1 against the defending champs .. However, it's Spring and anything can happen. Today, they'll take on the Baltimore Orioles, a game that they should be able to bounce back. Let's not forget that the are still 16-7 this spring. Give me STL here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Cards. Line: +100 Line Parameter: play until -130.. |
|||||||
03-22-23 | Braves +115 v. Tigers | 5-3 | Win | 115 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves - ML I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. This one is a mismatch. I know it's Spring Training still, but the Braves should win this game easily. Detroit has lost four games in a row. Atlanta has won four games in a row. Matt Manning has not been very good this spring as he owns a 9.00 ERA through 10 innings. Expect the Braves to knock him out of the game early en route to a blowout. T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Braves. Line: -140 Line Parameter: play until -165.. |

03-21-23 | Rays +115 v. Twins | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays - ML I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Although the Rays are still missing Arozarena and Parades from the WBC, they still have a very complete roster. They are also one of those teams that allow their pitcher to go more innings than others right now. In fact, although Fleming's stats don't look insane so far this spring, he was very good in his last start (4IP, 1H, 5K, 0ER. On the other hand, Gray has only pitched 1.2 innings this spring so far. With the more talented roster and how they are playing their pitchers, I think the Rays get it done here today. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rays. Line: +111 Line Parameter: play until -115.. |

03-20-23 | Blue Jays -120 v. Tigers | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays - ML Pitching Matchup: Kevin Gausman @ Michael Lorenzen I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. While Spring Training gets older, we're beginning to see the starting pitchers get older. Now, I know I've been focussing a bit more on the WBC. However, I've continued to watch spring very carefully. Lorenzen hasn't been very strong. Even though he doesn't have a loss to his name yet, he's got a 4.91 ERA and is throwing way too many hittable balls. The Blue Jays are going to want to strike early after being shut out on Sunday. Gausman has been excellent for the Jays as he hasn't given up a single run this spring so far. Expect a Jays win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Jays. Line: -125 Line Parameter: play until -140.. |
|||||||
03-07-23 | Blue Jays -130 v. Pirates | 2-7 | Loss | -130 | 4 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays - ML I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Although some of the players are now gone and will be participating in the WBC, I believe that the Jays have the more superior talent in this matchup. The Jays have already beaten them this spring and the Pirates have looked very shaky with their 2-6-2 record. Expect Toronto to dominate this game. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Blue Jays, Line: -135 Line Parameter: play until -150.. |
|||||||
03-05-23 | Mets -101 v. Cardinals | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets - ML I like the New York Mets to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Sunday. I know that the Cards have looked good in Spring Training so far, but I believe that the Mets are coming to play in this one. Kodai Senga will get the nod for NYM. He dominated in Japan and should get some very quality innings here. Verlander played three innings in their last game and I wouldn't be surprised if Senga saw three as well here. Expect a Mets victory with the pitching leading the charge. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Mets. Line: -105 Line Parameter: play until -129.. |

03-03-23 | Dodgers +105 v. Angels | 2-2 | Push | 0 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LAD - ML I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. I expect the Angels to be better this season, as long as Rendon stays healthy and their pitching is improved. However, the Dodgers will still be the more superior side and I expect them to actually try in this first battle of LA in 2023. Give me LAD here. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Dodgers. Line: -110 Line Parameter: play until -140.. |

03-02-23 | Rangers v. Brewers -130 | 7-4 | Loss | -130 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers - ML I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Thursday. With Corbin Burnes on the mound, the Brewers should get at least two shutout innings early. Texas also hasn't been playing too much of their projected starters so I think the Milwaukee will be able to take advantage of that here. T.M. Prediction: 10-3 Brewers. Line: -130 Line Parameter: play until -150.. |

03-01-23 | Rays +126 v. Braves | 3-3 | Push | 0 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays - ML I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. I know the starting pitchers don't really mean anything in Spring Training as they only go like 2-3 innings max. However, I believe that with McClanahan on the mound, the Rays should be able to jump off to an early lead and keep it throughout this game. The Rays bullpen is very talented as well. Take the Rays as a “mini underdog” here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Rays. Line: +111 Line Parameter: play until -140.. |
|||||||
02-27-23 | Rockies +100 v. A's | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado Rockies - ML I like the Colorado Rockies to win this game against the Oakland A's on Monday. Both of these two teams enter this game with a 2-0 record. Although the A''s pitching has looked good so far, they've yet to face a team like the Rockies who are used to lightning the score up at their home in Colorado. Now, spring training is different than regular season for sure. But I believe that the Rockies own the deeper squad and can grab their third straight win to start the 2023 Spring Training. T.M. Prediction: 10-6 Rockies. Line: +100 Line Parameter: play until -130.. |

02-27-23 | Marlins v. Astros -148 | 4-3 | Loss | -148 | 5 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - ML I like the Houston Astros to win this game agains the Miami Marlins on Monday. Although Miami has a few young guns that could deal some damage in this game, Houston has the better overall lineup and squad. Houston's pitching has looked very strong in their first two games, while Miami's has not. Miami is already 0-2 and I expect them to drop to 0-3 after today's game. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Astros. Line: -160 Line Parameter: play until -180.. |

02-25-23 | Guardians +100 v. Reds | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians - ML Cal Quantrill @ Brandon Williamson I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. Although this is “pre-season” baseball, I believe that the Guardians want to start this season off with a win. They've got the better lineup, the better pitcher, & the better manager. Cal Quantrill (15-5, 3.38 ERA) was absolutely dominant last season. He's got the World Baseball Classic ahead of him for Team Canada so you know he'll want to get a solid warmup in before hand. Expect the Guardians to take advantage of this Reds starter who's never started a regular season game in the MLB. T.M. Prediction: 9-2 Guardians. Line: +100 Line Parameter: play until -150.. |

10-28-22 | Phillies v. Astros -154 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -154 | 98 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. With a long break in between games, both teams will come into this game well rested. Houston has not lost a game this playoffs so far after sweeping both the Mariners and the Yankees in the ALDS and ALCS. Now, they'll face a Philadelphia team that has been red hot at the plate. Justin Verlander will get the start for Houston this Friday. He will join superstar Roger Clemens as one of two pitchers to ever start a World Series game in three separate decades. In his last meeting against the Phillies, Verlander was nearly perfect. He went 5 innings, gave up no hits, walked just one, while striking out 10 in a win. Now, he'll face them again in the biggest series of baseball. The Phillies will lean to Aaron Nola, a 29 year old who's been lights out all season long. Even though his postseason numbers still look sharp, the righty was picked apart by the Braves in his last start. He went just 4.2 innings, while giving up six earned runs in a loss. I expect Verlander to dominate and for the Astros to win the first game of the World Series of 2022. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Astros. |

10-14-22 | Dodgers -115 v. Padres | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the San Diego Padres on Friday. Off the Game 2 loss, the team with the best record in baseball will look to bounce back on Friday. Tony Gonsolin (16-1, 2.14 ERA) was one of the best pitchers in the majors this season and he'll get the nod here. His record and ERA speak for themselves. But, he might not go too far into this game as he's only pitched twice since August 23rd. If he doesn't go too far, I expect them to lean to Tyler Anderson or another starter to get them deep into this game. Anderson was also incredible this year. The Dodgers are 54-27 on the road this season, while the Padres are only 44-37 at home. After a loss this season, the Dodgers are 33-18. For the Padres, they'll have Blake Snell (8-10, 3.38 ERA) on the mound on Friday. He's already pitched this postseason, when he gave up 2 earned runs in just 3.1 innings against the Mets in a 7-3 loss. Expect the Dodgers to light him up here in Game 3 to get home field advantage back in the favor of LA. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Dodgers. |

10-14-22 | Guardians +140 v. Yankees | 4-2 | Win | 140 | 18 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the New York Yankees on Friday. The Yankees won Game 1, 4-1 on Tuesday. After the game was supposed to be played yesterday, they'll play Game 2 on Friday in what is an extremely important game for both teams. As a road underdog this season, the Guardians were one of three teams that actually had a winning record. Shane Bieber (13-8, 2.88 ERA,) who's already pitched this postseason, will start for Cleveland in this one. He absolutely dominated the Rays in a 2-1 win last Friday. In that game he went 7.2 innings while giving up just three hits, one run and striking out 8. If he does that again in Game 2, the Guardians have a really good shot. Nestor Cortes (12-4, 2.44 ERA,) who popped on the scene this season, has been very good this season. There isn't too much bad stuff to say about him other than he will make his first career postseason start here. I expect this strong Guardians lineup to make solid contact to show him how they do it, but for this to be a very close game 2. Give me the Guards. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Guardians |
|||||||
10-12-22 | Phillies v. Braves -123 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 29 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Off a huge Game 1 loss to open up the series, the Braves will need to bounce back with a win here in Game 2. They have got to treat this like an elimination game, because if they don't they'll have to win both games in Philly to survive. Kyle Wright (21-5, 3.19 ERA) has been dominant this season for Atlanta. He hasn't lost a game since July, and his record is one of the best in the majors. The last time he faced this Phillies team, he went 7 innings while giving up just 1 earned run on 3 hits in a 4-1 win. On the other hand, the Phillies will have Zack Wheeler (12-7, 2.82 ERA) pitching for them. Wheeler has also been very reliable as of late, but I expect the Braves to crack him open here in this one. Expect the Braves fans to help them in this crucial Game 2. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. |

10-11-22 | Phillies v. Braves -170 | 7-6 | Loss | -170 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves. I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The Phillies are off a shocking 2-0 sweep against the Cardinals, and travel to Atlanta to take on the defending champs in the NLDS on Tuesday. Atlanta will have Max Fried (14-7, 2.48 ERA,) a southpaw pitcher who's been dominant once agin this year, on the mound for this very pivotal Game 1. Fried has now had back to back one run performances to end the season and is in some of the best shape of his life. One of those games was against the Phillies where he went 5 innings and struck out 8. For Philadelphia, they'll have Ranger Suarez (10-7, 3.65 ERA) starting for them. Suarez got absolutely smacked last time out as he only went 3 innings, while giving up 6 earned runs. I expect the Braves to come out hot to start their title defence on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Braves. |

10-08-22 | Phillies v. Cardinals +105 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals I like the Saint Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Yesterday's performance went from excellent to garbage as the 9th inning went along for the Cardinals. In the 6-3 loss, they gave up each of those six runs in the final inning. In game 2, they'll turn to Miles Mikolas (12-13, 3.29 ERA,) who many thought was going to pitch in game 1. Mikolas has been consistent for most of his career, but especially the past few years now. In his last start against these Phillies, he went 7.1 innings, while giving up just 1 run in a 6-1 win. For Philly, they'll start Aaron Nola (11-13, 3.25 ERA,) in this big game. Nola has been pretty inconsistent in performances lately, as he's allowed 4+ runs in 4 of his last 9 starts. In his last start against the Cardinals, he went 7 innings and gave up 5 earned runs. I expect the Cards to bounce back in a big way with guys like Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado taking over the game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Cardinals. |

10-07-22 | Mariners v. Blue Jays -134 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -134 | 40 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. It's playoff time, and Toronto fans are hoping for another great playoff story. With this "first to win two games" series being played all in Canada, the Jays should have a real good shot here in this round. Alek Manoah (16-7, 2.24 ERA,) has been their ace all season long and his numbers show it. He's now had back to back shutout starts (13 total innings pitched,) while giving up just 6 hits and striking out 12 in that span. Manoah has never had a postseason start in the Majors, but it feels like this is the right time for him. He'll be up against Luis Castillo (8-6, 2.99 ERA,) on of the Mariners better pitchers himself. He's allowed 10 earned runs in his last 3 starts though and he's now going to go up against a very high-powered Blue Jays lineup filled with stars. Castillo hasn't been in a playoff situation either, but the 29 year old just got traded this trade deadline, so now he'll finally get the opportunity on a better team. I think the Jays will just be too much to handle, especially in game 1 with Manoah on the mound. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Blue Jays |

10-05-22 | Yankees -141 v. Rangers | 2-4 | Loss | -141 | 24 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: NYY I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Off yesterday's 1-1 split in their double header, the Yankees look to finish off the season with big win #100 on the year. Also, since Aaron Judge finally surpassed Roger Maris' homerun total, he should be playing with absolutely no pressure in this final regular season game. Domingo German (2-4, 3.31 ERA) hasn't been incredible this season after returning from his big injury, but his ERA shows that he hasn't been bad either. Let's not forget how good this guy was. The last time he saw these Rangers was last season when he threw 7 shutout innings against them. He''l be up against Glenn Otto (6-10, 4.72 ERA.) Otto hasn't been awful either, but he hasn't been good by any means. He's almost guaranteed to give up a couple of runs, and should once again against this stacked Yankees lineup. Expect NYY to fully push for their 100th win of the year in this one on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yankees. |

09-29-22 | Phillies -175 v. Cubs | 0-2 | Loss | -175 | 23 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The Phillies are currently battling to stay in wildcard position right now, and the Cubs are out of the playoff contention. Having something meaningful to play for is huge when it comes to September/October baseball. Ranger Suarez (10-5, 3.38 ERA) will start for Philly here in this one. He's been excellent as of late, giving up just one run in his last his last two starts. Last Thursday, against the Braves, Suarez went 6 innings and didn't allow a run in a 1-0 win. Now he'll face a weaker Cubs team and he should have no problems. For Chicago, they'll have Javier Assad (1-2, 4.28 ERA) on the mound. Although he's only got a small sample size to look at, he has not been what one would call too good. In his last two starts, in six innings pitched, he's allowed seven earned runs on 6 hits and 7 walks. Expect this Phillies team to eat him alive on Thurs. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Phillies. |

09-28-22 | Rays +105 v. Guardians | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. Tyler Glasnow (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is back from his Tommy John surgery that has kept him out all season. Let's not forget when healthy, this man was one of the best in the game. During 2019, 2020 and 2021, Glasnow held a fantastic 16-4 record in 37 starts with an average ERA of 2.84. In his return, he'll face Triston McKenzie (11-11, 3.04 ERA.) Now his ERA may look good, but McKenzie almost always allows at least two earned runs every start. In 9 of his last 11 starts, he's allowed 2 or more. This Rays team is still battling, trying to finish on top of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners for the top wildcard spot. Therefore, each and every game, with just two weeks remaining in the regular season, means a lot to this organization. I'm expecting a very strong outing from Glasnow here on Wednesday and for the Rays bats to support him with a few runs in this one. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Rays |

T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. Off Sunday's 3-2 win against the DBacks, the Giants come into this game on a nice little 5-1 run their last 6 games. These teams met last week in Colorado, where the Giants swept them four games to none. Now, we'll be in Cali, where the Giants are 39-36. Note that the Rockies are just 24-48 on the road this season as well. Logan Webb (14-9, 2.93 ERA) has been pretty good once again this year. He may not have an insane record, but he's been deadly at times, especially in his last outing. Against the Rockies, in his last start, he gave up just a single hit in five and one third of an inning in a 6-1 win last Wednesday. For the Rockies, they'll have German Marquez (8-12, 5.15 ERA) on the mound, who was the opposite pitcher to Webb in that game. Marquez has now given up 14 earned runs in his last three starts. I'm expecting San Fran to come away with another win, giving the pitching matchup here on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Giants |

T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Off yesterday's easy 4-1 win, the Marlins will look to continue the winning ways here in this one. Edward Cabrera (6-3, 2.91 ERA,) one of the Marlins' best pitchers this season, will get the start here at home today. He's been lights out recently, especially against the Nationals. In his last start against them, he went 6 innings and gave up just one run in a 12-2 win. Washington will have Anibal Sanchez (2-6, 4.40 ERA) on the mound here in this one. The 38 year old has been solid lately, but has yet to really win this year. In his last start, he gave up two runs to this Miami team. Now it wasn't a bad start, but he still received the loss as the Marlins won that game 3-1. I expect the Nats to have struggles against Cabrera again today and for the Marlins to sweep the Nationals with a win here on Sunday. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Marlins |

T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. On the cusp of a playoff berth for the first time 2001, the Seattle Mariners have been struggling a bit lately. Coming into this series against the Royals, Seattle had lost 3 times in four against the Angels, and 2 times in 3 against the A's. Although they have one of the easiest schedules to end off the year with, they still need to be careful in order to keep their wild card position. Today, Logan Gilbert (13-6, 3.13 ERA) will get the start. He's been terrific all year and might be their "go-to" in the playoffs if it comes down to it. In his last four outings, he's only given up two earned runs, while striking out 34 in 23 innings. That's ridiculous. He'll face one of the worst pitchers in the entire league on Saturday. Kris Bubic (2-13, 5.81 ERA) has been dreadful for the Royals all year. The 25 year old southpaw just can't seem to string some wins together. In back-to-back outings, he's given up 5 earned runs. He hasn't "won" a game since mid July. You have got to feel for the guy. His last meeting with the Mariners, he went just 2 innings, while giving up 7 hits and 5 earned runs. With the Seattle Mariners needing to keep winning, and the matchup here, I fully expect them to handle this game with no problem on Saturday. M's in a BLOWOUT! T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Mariners. |

T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. What a battle it has been all year between these teams. They've been going at it from the getgo and they now are just separated by a game. The Blue Jays have been turning up the heat to end the season, with Bo Bichette leading the way. But Alek Manoah (14-7, 2.40 ERA,) who will get the start in this one, has been stellar as well. He fell into a bit of a slump after the all star game, but has really picked it up as of late. He hasn't allowed more than two runs in 6 straight starts. The Rays will give the ball to Drew Rasmussen (10-6, 2.92 ERA,) who's also been pretty good this season. He's been a bit ugly as of late though, giving up 4 runs in both of his last two starts (one of them against the Blue Jays.) I'm expecting another Manoah win on Saturday. Give me the Jays. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Blue Jays |

09-24-22 | Braves -130 v. Phillies | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 23 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Each game matters in during the season, especially when you are just a couple of games behind the division leaders in late September. The defending champs have looked extremely good all season long, and guess what? They have Ronald Acuna back and healthy for this postseason run. On Saturday, the Braves will hand the ball to Kyle Wright (19-5, 3.18 ERA,) who has been a winning machine all season for them. He hasn't lost a game since July, and he's going to be a force come playoff time. In his last two outings, he's only given up 3 earned runs. He also will have a very strong hitting lineup behind him. For the Phillies, they are still hanging on to that last wildcard spot. Bailey Falter (5-3, 3.68 ERA) will start for them. He's been solid all season long as well. Although he only gave up a run, his last meeting was against the Braves and they lost the game 5-2. Atlanta is just the better team and I expect them to give the Phillies some struggles here this weekend. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Braves |

09-21-22 | Astros -120 v. Rays | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Off yesterday's 5-0 win, the Astros look like they are one of the best teams in baseball, and have a real chance in making it back to the World Series. Today, they'll have Lance McCullers Jr (3-1, 2.34 ERA) on the mound in a big spot. He's been great since returning from injury and has only given up 6 earned runs in his last 4 starts (23.2 IP.) In his last meeting against the Rays, which was last season, he gave up 2 earned runs in a 3-2 win. I expect another good performance from the righty here on Wednesday. Now for the Rays, they are in a tough spot. Trying to grab the best wildcard spot they possibly can, they can't really afford to be losing too many games. Especially with the schedule that the Mariners have remaining. Corey Kluber (10-9, 4.44 ERA) will get the start for Tampa here in this one. He's given up 10 earned runs in his last two starts, and is showing signs of slowing down. Ever since leaving Cleveland, he just hasn't been the same. Give me the Astros again on Wednesday, as they inch closer to that 100 win mark. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Astros |

09-16-22 | Mariners -151 v. Angels | 7-8 | Loss | -151 | 28 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Seattle comes into this game in good form. The wildcard race in the American League has been tight all year and it's coming down to the last few weeks. Sitting in the 2nd wildcard spot, the Mariners will face the Angels in this one. Robbie Ray (12-9, 3.56 ERA) has been one of their best pitchers all year and he will draw the start here. Ray has been dominant against the Angels this season, only allowing three earned runs, in two starts (both blowout wins.) There is no room for error at this stage and I expect him to pitch another gem here on Friday. For LA, they will have Michael Lorenzen (6-6, 4.70 ERA) on the mound. He has been pretty miserable as of late, giving up 17 earned runs in his last four starts (two of those against the Mariners.) With the Angels having lost four games in a row, and the Seattle Mariners needing every single win they can get, expect the better team to come out with the victory here today. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners |

09-13-22 | Orioles -145 v. Nationals | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 25 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. The Orioles are still fighting to stay in the playoff race, and they really need to win a lot of games to end the season. There isn't many teams in baseball that you would rather play than the Nationals, so they are in luck here. Dean Kremer (6-5, 3.23 ERA) will take the mound for Baltimore on Tuesday. He's been great for them all year and should be solid here today. He hasn't faced the Nationals yet this year, but in his last road game he was stellar. Giving up only one earned run in 7.2 innings against a very stacked Astros lineup. Now, looking at Washington, they've really struggled all year. Since giving up Juan Soto and Josh Bell, their lineup has just been a disaster. Not only is their hitting bad, but they also have one of the worst pitching groups in the league. Cory Abbott (0-2, 4.22 ERA) will be their starter here today. Although he's been decent out of the bullpen lately, he's only started 5 games all year and has never won a game. I expect the Orioles to rock him on Tuesday as they need to win this game badly. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Orioles |

09-09-22 | Blue Jays -154 v. Rangers | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 28 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Texans Rangers on Friday. Off another series win against the Orioles, the Blue Jays are red hot again. They are now 8-2 their last 10. Toronto has one of the best lineups in the entire Major Leagues, and they have been showing that as of late. With the bats finally starting to wake up again, the Jays are looking to be a real threat come playoff time. It's going to be very exciting to watch this team, and they vary well might make a run. Looking at this series, Toronto really needs to keep winning. They still sit in the final Wildcard spot, but another sweep would really benefit them in a big way. Ross Stripling (7-4, 3.03 ERA) will start for them here today against Texas. He's been very consistent all season and with a few more solid outings, he may very well see himself as one of the starters in October. For the Rangers, they haven't had the season they were hoping for after the big offseason. With the signings of both Seager and Semien, they still see themselves in fourth in the AL West (17 GB of a playoff spot.) Dane Dunning (3-8, 4.37 ERA) will step out on the mound for them in this one. He's now allowed 16ERs in his last five outings. In his last meeting with the Jays, he gave up 3ERs in what ended up a 4-3 win for Toronto. Expect the Blue Jays bats to be flying here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Blue Jays |

09-08-22 | Marlins +115 v. Phillies | Top | 6-5 | Win | 115 | 27 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Off back to back one run losses to the Phillies, the Marlins look to avoid the sweep in this one. They've now lost 9 games in a row and they are due for a win. Although the Phillies may have the better team, I believe that the Marlins have the better pitcher here today. Sandy Alcantara (12-7, 2.36 ERA) has been dominant all season and has proven that he is one of the best pitchers in the MLB. Although he also got rocked last time out, he still provides a nasty ERA that nobody can take away from him. Now, looking at Philly, their pitcher also struggled badly last time out. Kyle Gibson (9-6, 4.48 ERA) allowed 7 earned runs in just 1.2 innings pitched against the Giants in his last start. The last time he played the Marlins, he allowed 3 runs, 2 earned, in a 3-0 win for Miami. Given the circumstances and the pitchers on the mound today, expect the Marlins to pull out on top. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Marlins |

09-04-22 | Brewers v. Diamondbacks -148 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 22 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Diamondbacks I like the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. The Brewers might be the better team on paper, but the man on the mound for the Diamondbacks will most definitely be named NL Cy Young if he keeps what he's been doing up. Zac Gallen (10-2, 2.53 ERA) is that guy. Off yet another gem last time out, the 6'2'' righty hasn't given up a single run in 34.1 innings (39 strikeouts.) That is absolutely ridiculous. At home this season, he is a perfect 5-0 with a 2.65 ERA. Now, he faces a Milwaukee Brewers team that is not known for their hitting, that's for sure (.233 avg on the road this season.) Looking at Milwaukee, they have been really inconsistent as of late. They really need to smarten up if they want to have a chance at making a playoff push. The Brewers will start Jason Anderson (2-1, 4.97 ERA,) who has allowed 4 ERs in his last 2 games. On the road this season, he's got a 5.29 ERA. Therefore, I fully expect this Diamondback team to finish this series off with a win. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 DBacks |

09-03-22 | Twins v. White Sox -129 | Top | 0-13 | Win | 100 | 20 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 Saturday. Dylan Cease (12-6, 2.26 ERA) will be the starting pitcher for the home White Sox here today. Although he hasn't looked his greatest his past few starts, his numbers don't lie and he's still one of the best starters in the entire league. In his last start against Minnesota, he pitched 7 stellar innings, only giving up 1 hit and striking out 8 in a 11-0 win. Off a few wins now, the White Sox see themselves back ever so slightly in the playoff race. Looking at the Twins, they are one of the streakiest teams in baseball. Before their loss to end the month of August against Boston as well as yesterday's, they had won 4 straight, lost 6 straight and then won 5 straight again. Today, Tyler Mahle (6-7, 4.17 ERA) will get the start for them. He's been out since mid august with a shoulder injury, but he's back. His August was decent, in three starts. But looking at his July starts he wasn't all that good at all. This will be the second game of the series, and if the White Sox steal a few games in this series, they'll definitely boost their odds of making a playoff push to end the season. Give me the White Sox here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox |

09-02-22 | Padres v. Dodgers -154 | 7-1 | Loss | -154 | 27 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the San Diego Padres on Friday. The Dodgers are the team to beat this year, and everyone knows it. They've looked incredible all year and this might be a better team than their World Series team a couple of years back. Not only are they the first team to 90 wins this year, but they are going for the record for most wins ever by a team in the regular season. Right now, sitting at 90-40, they would have to go 26-5 to end the year. To kick off the weekend series against the Padres, Dustin May will take the mound. May is back, better than ever after his Tommy John surgery that has kept him out most of this year. He may be off a loss, but he's only allowed 2ERs in two starts this season. For the Padres, they are sitting in the last wildcard spot in the NL right now right a record of 73-59. Even though I don't like them in this matchup, I still expect them to make the playoffs. Yu Darvish will start for them tonight. He's been alright this season, but not great lately. In his last three starts, he's given up 10ERs. Give me the Dodgers, at home in this one, especially off back to back loses. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Dodgers. |

08-30-22 | Astros -155 v. Rangers | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. The Astros have looked really good over the last week winning a lot of their games but, they just lost their most recent series to the Orioles in a home series, and I think the Astros are going to be looking for a bounce back in this series. Their pitching still looked good in that series too, losing 2 of the games but giving up no more than 3 runs in any of them. I expect them to continue pitching well here but I see their bats waking up a bit with this pitching matchup. The Rangers just got destroyed by the Tigers in 2 games in a row, giving up 9+ runs in both games. I expect the Rangers to continue pitching badly here, and they don't have a great starter going either who is just going to shut down one of the best offenses in the league here. Dane Dunning (3-6, 4.19 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. He has been giving up a ton of runs all year, giving up runs in 10/11 of his previous 11 starts, and he just gave up 4 runs in his most recent start against a bad Rockies offense. I expect the Astros offense to wake up here and put up a ton of runs on Dunning and their bullpen which has been terrible lately. Framber Valdez (13-4, 2.65 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he has looked great all year being one of their best starters on staff. He has rarely given up more than 3 runs in a start this year and just had a start where he only gave up 1 run in 7 innings played. I see him shutting down the Rangers lineup here and I don't expect them to put up many runs in this game. I like the Astros to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Astros. |

08-29-22 | Red Sox v. Twins -124 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Twins are just 2 games behind the Guardians for 1st place in the AL Central but they have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They just swept the Giants at home but their offense looked great in that series, putting up 8+ runs in 2 of the games and even coming back late with 2 runs in the 9th inning to tie it in the other game. They are still on their homestand for this game here and I think they are going to keep rolling over these bad teams like they have lately. The Red Sox have looked terrible in a majority of their games over the last few weeks. They have had their moments in some games and they were starting to string some wins together again too, but it all fell apart in their most recent game with another big 12-4 loss at home to the Rays, and I think they are going to fall right back in their slump here against this hot Twins team. The Twins offense has looked a lot better in home games all year and they are showing it with their recent scores. I don't see the Red Sox having much of a chance here with their pitching in the state it has been in for weeks now, very inconsistent and giving up a ton of runs in their games. I expect the Twins to put up runs on the Red Sox here with the way they have been starting to hit lately. Brayan Bello (0-3, 7.36 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here but he has been giving up a ton of runs in his rookie year here and I see him getting pounded by the Twins bats here. Dylan Bundy (7-6, 4.56 ERA) is up for the Twins here and he hasn't looked good all year but he has actually been improving lately, posting great numbers in August, and I see him shutting down the Red Sox offense which hasn't been very good outside of their own ballpark. I like the Twins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Twins. |

08-28-22 | Guardians v. Mariners -145 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. The Mariners have looked good in their games lately, taking 2/3 games against the Guardians so far. They just lost 4-3 to the Guardians last night but I think the Mariners can bounce back here with a win and take this series at home. Both offenses have not been producing a lot of runs here and all 3 games in this series have been very close games so I see this game coming down to who has the better pitching, and I give that edge to the Mariners here in their own ballpark. Robbie Ray (10-8, 3.75 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has looked a lot better in his starts lately. He has been really up and down all year but he finally got into his groove in August, giving up no more than 2 runs in any of his 4 starts. He has also pitched 6+ innings in all 4 starts and I expect him to continue pitching well here with this Guardians offense not putting up a ton of runs lately. Aaron Civale (2-5, 5.37 ERA) is up for the Guardians here and he has looked terrible in a majority of his starts this year. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year and I see him doing that again here. He has been pitching a lot better lately but, he hasn't faced a lot of tough lineups during that time either and I expect the Mariners offense to put up runs on him here. I like the Mariners to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners. |

08-26-22 | Rays v. Red Sox -119 | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to win this game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. The Red Sox have lost 4 games in a row now but they haven't looked that bad in their games lately. They just lost 2 really close home games to the Blue Jays but I think they are going to bounce back here after those close losses. The Rays have looked really good in their games lately, winning 6 games in a row now but they have also been beating up on 2 bad teams in those 2 series, the Royals and the Angels. I think the Red Sox have a much better team than those 2 and the Red Sox still have a good offense that has been putting up runs all year. The Rays don't have a good offense and I expect them to cool down against a better team here, especially with this matchup. Michael Wacha (8-1, 2.28 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has looked really good in his starts all year. He was pitching great before he missed a bit of the year with an injury but he has now made 2 starts since coming back and he hasn't given a single run in those 2 starts while pitching 5+ innings in both. JT Chargois (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is up for the Rays here and he has not been charged with a run this year but he has also made just 3 appearances and all of them have been 1 inning or less as a reliever. This is his 1st start of the season but I can't see him going very deep and will likely just be an opener for the bullpen here. The Rays do have a good bullpen but I expect them to get hit in this game in Fenway and I don't see their offense putting up the runs on Wacha here to compete with the Red Sox in this game. I like the Red Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Red Sox. |

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. |

08-22-22 | 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. |

08-19-22 | 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 | 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 | 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

07-30-22 | 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. |

07-29-22 | 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. |

07-27-22 | 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. |

07-25-22 | 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. |

07-23-22 | 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. |

07-22-22 | 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 | 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. |

07-15-22 | 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. |
