04-09-22 | Brewers -152 v. Cubs | 0-9 | Loss | -152 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The Brewers lost their 1st game of the year on opening day to the Cubs 5-4 but I think they are going to bounce back here and pick up their 1st win. That was a very close game in score and I think the Brewers will be the ones who come out ahead in this game. The Brewers have Justin Steele (0-0, 0.00 ERA) making his season debut in this game and he wasn't that great last year. He finished the 2021 season 4-4 with a 4.26 ERA and that was his 1st season pitching in the MLB. This is only his 2nd year in the league and now that there is a lot more information available on him for this year, I think he is going to get rocked in this game. The Brewers still have a very strong batting lineup and I expect them to put up the runs on Steele in this game. Brandon Woodruff (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Brewers here and he had a great year that he will be looking to improve on even more. He finished the 2021 season 9-10 with a 2.56 ERA and he had a lot of games where he only gave up 1 run in it. I think the Brewers have a very big pitching advantage in this game with their starter and they still have their bullpen to back him up which is also very good. The Brewers were a playoff team last year and I expect them to get their season back on track here by getting their 1st win. I like the Brewers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Brewers. |

04-08-22 | Mariners +105 v. Twins | 2-1 | Win | 105 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Minnesota Twins in this game on Friday. This is the opening day for both of these teams and I think the Mariners are going to get their year off on the right foot. Robbie Ray (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is going to get the start in this game and he had a terrific season last year at 13-7 with a 2.84 ERA. This will be his 1st start for his new team here and I think he is going to make a big 1st impression with a great performance on the mound today. He was a big part of the Blue Jays pitching staff last season and a big reason why they finished so well with their record. I think he is going to build on the success of his season last year and I think the Mariners have the advantage with him on the mound over the Twins with Joe Ryan (0-0, 0.00 ERA) who will be on the mound for the Twins here. Joe Ryan finished the 2021 season 2-1 with a 4.05 ERA. He has only made 5 starts in his career and his team actually lost a majority of the games he started in last year. The Twins did make a move to pick up Carlos Correa in the offseason at a huge signing deal but I don't think he is going to make much of an impact in this game with it being their 1st of the year and I think the Mariners have the pitching advantage here with the moves they made in the offseason to support their starting rotation. I see the Mariners getting off to a great start here with a win over the Twins. I like the Mariners in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners. |

04-07-22 | Brewers -180 v. Cubs | 4-5 | Loss | -180 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on opening day Thursday. The Brewers ended their regular season last year as the best team in their division but they fizzled out in the playoffs and I think they are going to be looking for a strong start to this year's season. They have already been starting to get hot lately with 2 wins in a row to end Spring training and I think they can start their year off with a win here. Corbin Burnes (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is making the start for this game and he had a great year last year. He finished the 2021 season 11-5 with a 2.43 ERA. I think he can make a deep start into this game and will keep the Cubs' batters at bay here. The Cubs are trying to forget about a terrible season last year where they finished 4th in their division and missed the playoffs altogether. They haven't looked bad in Spring training this year but I think the Brewers have a major pitching advantage here. Kyle Hendricks (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is the starting pitcher for the Cubs here and he didn't really have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 14-7 with a 4.77 ERA and I think he is going to hit a snag in his season debut here. I expect the Brewers to have a big day with their hitting and I like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Brewers. |

11-02-21 | Braves v. Astros -122 | 7-0 | Loss | -122 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to win game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves and tie the series up. The Astros won game 5 of this series in Atlanta 9-5 to force another game but this time the last 2 will be in Houston. The Astros had to rally twice in that game to win, going down 4-0 right in the 1st inning just to tie it 4-4 in the top of the 3rd inning but have the Braves take the lead back in the bottom of that inning. The Astros had a burst in the 5th to take the lead back and then just kept adding on to win 9-5. Now that their bats have heated up and they have themselves backed into the corner playing 3 elimination games in a row just to win the World Series, I expect that they will get a quick start here to take the lead since they have been trailing in a lot of these games. They will be at home with the crowd on their side to finish off the World Series and I think they will make sure to grab a lead quick here and keep it through the game. The Astros have to win here or it's all over for them so I like them to win here with their backs against the wall and tie this series up forcing a game 7. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. |

10-30-21 | Astros +101 v. Braves | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to beat the Atlanta Braves in this game 4 of the World Series on Saturday. The Braves took a 2-1 lead in the series on Friday with a 2-0 win. The Astros only mustered up 2 hits in that game and that wasn't even until around the 8th inning. I expect them to bounce back in this game with a big win to even up the series after getting shut out and almost giving the Braves a no-hitter. Zack Greinke (11-6, 4.16 ERA) is up for the Astros and he is made for these types of situations. Greinke is their ace and I expect him to show up here and put on a show after seeing what the Braves and their pitching staff did in the previous game. He has pitched in 2 games this postseason but did not go more than 2 innings in either game. He should have a very fresh arm for this game. Jesse Chavez (3-2, 2.14 ERA) is up for the Braves which tells me that this is going to be a bullpen day for the Braves. This will leave the Astros with plenty of opportunities to put some runs up in this game and I expect them to respond after the disappointment in yesterday's game. I like the Astros to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. |

10-27-21 | Braves v. Astros -112 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to beat the Atlanta Braves in game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday. The Astros lost game 1 on Tuesday 6-2 and I expect them to make a bounce back here. The last thing they want is to leave Houston down 2-0 in the series and have to play the next 3 in a row in Atlanta. They started to hit the ball well in the last 2 innings of that game so I expect that they will come right out of the gate in this game. Jose Urquidy (8-3, 3.62 ERA) is up for the Astros and he pitched well during the season but struggled in his 1 start this postseason. I expect him to bounce back too with a good performance here. Max Fried (14-7, 3.04 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has had some rocky starts in this postseason. He gave up 5 runs in his last start and 2 in his start before that but he gave up 8 hits in each of those games with only 3 strikeouts in his last start. I think he is going to get rocked again on the mound by the Astros in this game. They have the batters to put this game away so I like the Astros to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Astros. |
|||||||
10-22-21 | Red Sox -101 v. Astros | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -101 | 14 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to beat the Houston Astros on Friday and tie up the series 3-3. The Red Sox have been backed into a corner, after getting a 2-1 lead in the series they now find themselves down 3-2 and on the road for their next 2 games where if they lose 1 then they are out. I think they are going to stop the bleeding in this game. The Astros have now won 2 in a row against them and it is very hard to win 3 in a row against the same team in the MLB. The Red Sox were unable to do so when they had the 2-1 lead in the series and I think the Astros won't be able to do so either. Even in the ALDS the Astros were unable to win 3 straight against the White Sox and couldn't sweep them after going up 2-0 in that series. Nathan Eovaldi (11-9, 3.75 ERA) is starting in this game he was the reason for their destruction in the 9th inning when Houston scored 7 runs to tie the series 2-2. That was just 1 bad inning though and he was just a reliever then too. He has started in 3 games this postseason and has pitched well in his starts not giving up more than 3 runs in any of those games and his team went on to win all 3 of his starts including game 2 of this series against the Astros. Luis Garcia (11-8, 3.30 ERA) is up for the Astros and unlike Eovaldi, Garcia has only been a starter this postseason pitching in 2 games and pitching very bad in both. He allowed 5 runs in each of those starts and his team went on to lose both games, including game 2 of this ALCS. I think the Red Sox are going to take advantage of him on the mound here so I like the Red Sox to win this 1 and force a game 7. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Red Sox. |

10-21-21 | Braves v. Dodgers -128 | 2-11 | Win | 100 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to beat the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. The Dodgers lost to them on Wednesday night 9-2 and are now down 3-1 in the series on the brink of elimination. I expect them to bounce back here at home and win this game as their playoffs are on the line now. Joe Kelly (2-0, 2.86 ERA) is starting for the Dodgers and he will likely just be the opener in this game as the Dodgers look to their bullpen for answers that their starters couldn't provide in the games they played in. The Dodgers have the talent in their starting lineup and with their pitching staff to take control here and get the win. Max Fried (14-7, 3.04 ERA) is starting for the Braves and he pitched in game 1 of this series in his last outing. He gave up 2 runs and 8 hits in that game. The Dodgers were hitting him well in that game but weren't capitalizing on their chances. I expect them to the same here with their hitting but the difference will be them bringing in those guys on base for some runs. This is a must win for the Dodgers or they are going home so I like them to win in this game with their backs against the wall here. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Astros v. Red Sox -126 | 9-2 | Loss | -126 | 5 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to beat the Houston Astros on Tuesday. The Red Sox are on a roll in these playoffs, they kicked the Rays out in just 4 games in that series and now have a 2-1 lead over the Astros with a chance to kick them out at Fenway in their next 2 games. Their batters have been very hot putting up 21 runs in their last 2 games and giving up 8 to the Astros. Nick Pivetta (9-8, 4.53 ERA) is getting his first start in the postseason but has already pitched in 2 games coming out of the bullpen. He pitched from the 10th to the 13th inning in the last game he was in and was awarded with the win after not giving up a run in that game. Zack Greinke (11-6, 4.16 ERA) is also getting his 1st start in this postseason pitching in just one inning out of the bullpen in these playoffs so far. He has not pitched well in his last 3 starts giving up 5+ runs in each of those games. With the way the Red Sox are hitting currently, I think he is in for another bad day on the mound here. The Red Sox are just too hot to fade at the moment so I like them to win here and take a 3-1 series lead. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Red Sox. |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Astros +108 v. Red Sox | Top | 3-12 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to beat the Boston Red Sox in Game 3 on Monday. The Astros lost in Game 2 of this series letting the Red Sox tie it up going back to Boston but I think the Astros are going to get that game back here. They have put up 5 runs in each game of this series and is the highest scoring team in this postseason so far. Jose Urquidy (8-3, 3.62 ERA) is starting and he has pitched well for them all year. He has been pitching well lately with just 2/9 games in his last few starts where he gave up more than 2 runs. He has not pitched since October 3 so he will be very fresh for this game. Eduardo Rodriguez (13-8, 4.74 ERA) is starting for the Red Sox and he has already pitched in 2 games of this postseason. He gave up 2 runs in each of those but the 1 game he did not make it to the 3rd inning in and was credited with the loss and the other was a no-decision. He does not have a good track record against the Astros this year either. He has given up a total of 12 runs in 2 games he pitched against them, 6 in each game. The Astros are going to come to take the lead in the series here and I think their batters are going to be hitting Rodriguez no problem. I like the Astros to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. |

10-12-21 | Brewers +114 v. Braves | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. They are down 2-1 in the series and facing elimination in this game. I think they are going to bounce back here and tie the series up. They have lost 2 in a row and have only put up 2 runs in the 3 games of this series. This team has too much talent to stay down for long so I expect the bats to come out in this game. The Braves have put up 3 runs in each of their last 2 and they have scored in every game of this series. All the games have been close though just the Brewers haven't ben scoring. I think their offense is going to explode in this one. I like the Brewers to win this game on Tuesday and send this series back home tied. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Brewers. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Dodgers -107 v. Giants | 9-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to beat the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. The Dodgers lost game 1 of this series and I think they are going to bounce back here after getting blanked. Julio Urias (20-3, 2.96 ERA) is starting and he has been great on the bump all year long. He has 11 wins in a row and he has not given up 2+ earned runs in any games except for 1 in his last 13 starts. He has been the best pitcher for the Dodgers this season and they have had nothing but success when he starts. Kevin Gausman (14-6, 2.81 ERA) is up for the Giants and he has been good in his last 2 starts, but he has been shaky overall in his 4 starts before then. He gave up 3+ runs in each of his 4 starts before his last 2 and he also gave up 8+ hits in 3 of those during that time. The Dodgers have their ace up here and this is the best time for them to strike back and tie the series going back to LA. I like the Dodgers here to win this game and tie it up. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-08-21 | White Sox +108 v. Astros | 4-9 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Houston Astros on Friday. The White Sox lost game 1 of this series on Thursday 6-1 but I think they are going to bounce back here and win this game. Lucas Giolito (11-9, 3.53 ERA) is starting and he has been great in his last few starts. He has only given up more than 2 runs 1 time in his last 9 starts. The White Sox have had success with him pitching too winning 5 in a row with him as a starter. Framber Valdez (11-6, 3.14 ERA) is starting for the Astros and he has been shaky in his starts lately. He gave up 4 runs in his last start and he has done that 3 times in his last 5 starts. I expect him to give up a few runs in this game too. The White Sox have the better pitching matchup here and I think their batters will be eager to put some runs up on the board in this game. I like the White Sox to bounce back here and win game 2. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 White Sox. |
|||||||
10-07-21 | White Sox +123 v. Astros | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Houston Astros in game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday. The White Sox had a great run at the end of the regular season winning 6 games in a row before losing their last game of the season. Lance Lynn (11-6, 2.69 ERA) is the starter here and he has been solid all year besides a few hiccups in his starts. Only 1 of his starts in his last 4 had more than 1 run given up by him. The Astros ended their season winning 2 games in a row but they stumbled a bit losing 3 games in that last week of the regular season. Lance McCullers Jr (13-5, 3.16 ERA) is starting and he has been a bit shaky lately giving up 7 runs in his last 3 games. Both of these pitchers have playoff experience but Lynn has played in a lot more games in the postseason than McCullers has. The White Sox were also winning more games than the Astros to end the season. I think the White Sox are playing way better right now so I like them to take game 1 of this series here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox. |
|||||||
10-01-21 | Indians -121 v. Rangers | 9-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Indians. I like the Cleveland Indians to beat the Texas Rangers on Friday. They won 6-1 over the Royals in their last game and managed to take 2 of the 4 games in that series. Eli Morgan (4-7, 5.27 ERA) is starting for them here and he has had some solid starts lately. He has let the other team score 1 run against him in his last 2 starts and, other than 1 bad start where he gave up 7 runs, he has not given up 2+ runs in his last 5 starts. The Rangers will have Spencer Howard (0-4, 7.04 ERA) starting and he has been terrible lately. There has been 3 occasions in his last 5 starts where he has given up 4+ runs. Eli Morgan has been showing improvement in his last few starts after starting off his rookie year with a rough start. Howard is just too inconsistent as he will give up no runs in 1 game and then 6 runs in the next and it has been on ongoing theme for him all year. I like the Indians to get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Indians. |
|||||||
09-30-21 | Yankees v. Blue Jays -132 | 6-2 | Loss | -132 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the New York Yankees on Thursday and finish off their season strong. The Blue Jays saved their playoff hopes on Wednesday with a win against the Yankees after blowing a 5-1 lead they squeaked it out 6-5. Their hitters still looked good in that game and they came up big when Toronto need them most. Robbie Ray (13-6, 2.68 ERA) is starting and he has been great all year. He is becoming their new ace on the mound with the way he has been playing lately. The Blue Jays have now put themselves in a position where they do not control their own fate anymore. They could win-out for the rest of the season and still not make it to the postseason if the teams ahead win their games as well. All they can do to give themselves the best chance is to win games and that is their plan right now. They had a chance to win that first game of the series as they took an early lead but let it get away from them. Then they came out strong in game 2 and held on to that lead. I expect them to keep fight as hard as they can here and with Ray on the mound, they will make sure to not let this game get away from them. I like the Blue Jays to win here and finish strong. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Blue Jays. |

09-30-21 | Brewers -102 v. Cardinals | 3-4 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. The Brewer won their game against the Cardinals on Wednesday night. That win ended a 17 game winning streak that the Cardinals were on. Brett Anderson (4-9, 4.30 ERA) is starting and he has been solid lately, other than 1 bad start in his last against these same Cardinals. He allowed 6 runs against them just over a week ago and I think he is due for a bounce back since it has only happened twice in his last 12 starts that he allowed over 3 runs in a game. J.A. Happ (9-8, 5.86 ERA) is starting for the Cardinals and he has not been much better this year. In his last 5 starts, 3/5 of them have had 3+ runs in them. The Cardinals must feel relieved after having their backs against the wall and then pulling off the streak they did to clinch their spot in the postseason. The Brewers are still out to get their rivals in this series so I like the Brewers to win here and finish the job off. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Brewers. |
|||||||
09-28-21 | Yankees v. Blue Jays -117 | 7-2 | Loss | -117 | 14 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the New York Yankees on Tuesday. The Blue Jays have been playing very well in these last few weeks but they have been hovering in and out of the Wild Card positions over that time as different teams get a leg up on them. This is their chance to take control of their own fate with a series against the Yankees who have a 2 game lead on them but are also in the 1st Wild Card position with the Red Sox standing in between the 2. I think the Jays are going to make a real hard push in these last few games and take advantage of this series to knock the Yankees down a few pegs. Hyun Jin Ryu (13-9, 4.34 ERA) is starting and he is their guy that they trust the most on the mound. He has had a few bad starts now and I expect him to have a big bounce back game here when it matters most. Jameson Taillon (8-6, 4.41 ERA) is starting for the Yankees here and he is nothing special when it comes to pitching. He has allowed 3+ runs in each of his last 5 starts and I expect nothing to be different in this game as he is up against a hot hitting lineup. They Jays know what is on the line here with this series so I expect them to bring it home here in front of all their fans. I like the Jays to get a big win in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Blue Jays. |

09-27-21 | A's v. Mariners -107 | 4-13 | Win | 100 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Oakland Athletics on Monday. The Mariners just swept the A's in 4 games last week. They have been hot winning their last 3 series' looking for a Wild Card position to get to the postseason. They just took 2/3 games from the Angels over the weekend, that being their only loss in their last 8. Chris Flexen (13-6, 3.56 ERA) is starting here and he has been good lately allowing just the 1 run in each of his last 2 starts, including his last start which was against the A's. The A's managed to sweep the Astros over the weekend in response to getting swept by the Mariners. They are still 1 game behind them in this race. Cole Irvin (10-14, 3.99 ERA) is up for the A's and he has been getting hit a lot lately. He has allowed 6+ hits in his last 8 starts and is allowing over 3 runs a game during that time. The Mariners are in a better position to get a Wild Card over the A's and they will still have that confidence from sweeping them just a week ago. I like the Mariners to continue their hot play here and win this game on Monday. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners. |

09-26-21 | Mariners v. Angels -142 | 5-1 | Loss | -142 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection : LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to beat the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. The Angels won their game against the Mariners on Saturday by a score of 14-1. Shohei Ohtani (9-2, 3.28 ERA) is starting in this game and he has been a good pitcher for them all season. They will be looking to hurt the Mariners playoff hopes anyway they can and Seattle has to be a little demotivated by their loss in the last game. Marco Gonzales (9-5, 4.14 ERA) is starting for the Mariners and he has been getting touched a lot lately allowing 12 earned runs in his last 4 starts. He has also allowed a home run in each of his last 6 starts, 4 of those 6 starts he allowed multiple home runs. That will not be good against the Angels who have finally had their hitters wake up. I like the Angels to keep rolling here and put a damper on the Mariners playoff hopes even more. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Angels. |
|||||||
09-22-21 | Mariners v. A's -133 | 4-1 | Loss | -133 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletic on Wednesday to win over the Seattle Mariners. The Athletics are on a 2 game losing streak right now, both of those losses coming against the Mariners in this series. The A's had a bit of a lead over them for the Wild Card but are now tied after dropping those games. Both teams are now 3 games out of the Wild Card which makes these last 2 games even more important. Cole Irvin (10-13, 4.94 ERA) is starting and he has been playing well since getting blown up on the mound 3 starts ago. He has allowed 2 runs and 1 run in his last 2 starts and has gone deep into those games as well, at least the 6th inning in both. The Mariners are riding a 3 game winning streak coming into this one but I think their good fortune has run out here. Chris Flexen (12-6, 3.66 ERA) is starting and he has not looked good lately. He has allowed 9 total runs in his last 3 starts. Not only that, but he has allowed 4+ hits in each of his last 12 starts and allowing a lot of hits in a game has been a common theme for him all season. If the A's get that many hits off of him and get on base they are going to make the Mariners pay here. They have a Wild Card position on the line so I expect them to come out and get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Athletics. |

09-21-21 | Mets +130 v. Red Sox | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets. I like the New York Mets to beat the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The Mets are 6 games behind Atlanta for the NL East and they are 7.5 games out of the Wild Card. They had lost 5 in a row before winning on Sunday. The Red Sox are still fighting in a tight race for a Wild Card and I like the Mets to play spoiler here. Marcus Stroman (9-12, 2.88 ERA) has been a reliable pitcher all season. He only allows 3+ runs every one and a while and usually they are no more than 4 runs. Only 3 of his last 12 starts has had 3 or 4 earned runs for him. Eduardo Rodriguez (11-8, 5.00 ERA) has not been the greatest this season and he has been getting touched a lot in his last few starts. The Red Sox have won 5 in a row and I think that streak ends here. Stroman is going to pitch a lights out game and shut down the Red Sox. All there is left for them to do is spoil and that starts here with a win over Boston on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mets. |

09-15-21 | A's -135 v. Royals | Top | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletics to beat the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The A's have now lost 3 games straight and they desperately need a win here as they find themselves 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot. Sean Manaea (9-9, 3.79 ERA) is starting for them and he has been solid lately. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 2 starts and was awarded with a win in his last time out. The Royals have lost just 1 game in their last 5 but I think it's time for the spoiling to stop here. They are way out of playoff contention and will have Mike Minor (8-12, 5.05 ERA) starting in this game. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 2 starts but he allowed 3+ in each of his 5 straight starts before that and that has been a common theme for him all year. The Royals have actually lost the last 7 straight games that Minor has pitched in. This is a must win for the A's as they cannot afford to fall any further behind in this wildcard race. I like them to win this game and defeat the Royals on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Athletics. |

09-15-21 | Rays v. Blue Jays -165 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. The Blue Jays lost in their last game 2-0 to the Rays after winning 4 games straight. That was just their 2nd loss in the month of September. Robbie Ray (11-5, 2.69 ERA) is starting here and he has been solid all year for the Jays. He has been credited with 3 straight wins when there was a decision and has only allowed more than 2 runs scored against him once in his last 9 starts, that being his last start where he allowed 3 runs. The Rays took game 2 of this series but that was just their 2nd win in their last 6 games. Michael Wacha (3-4, 5.37 ERA) is starting for them and he has been good in his last 3 starts but that actually ended a run where he was allowing 4+ runs per game. The Rays have cooled off a bit lately, despite getting the win yesterday, they have scored just 3 runs in their last 2 games. The Jays have been doing something incredible lately, not counting yesterday they have scored 52 runs in just 4 games and that good hitting run stretches back even further over the past few weeks. The Jays are hot right now and are looking to hold down a wildcard spot while the Rays pretty much have the division locked up here. I have to ride the Blue Jays here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. |

09-14-21 | Reds -154 v. Pirates | 5-6 | Loss | -154 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds. I like the Cincinnati Reds to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The Reds have just lost 2 very important games to the Cardinals and now sit in the final wildcard position with a 0.5 game lead over the Padres. They are playing a very bad Pirates team and must take advantage here getting every single win they can against them as the regular season winds down. Wade Miley (12-5, 2.89 ERA) is starting for the Reds and he has been pretty good. Besides 1 bad start in his last 5, he has not allowed more than 2 runs in a game in that span. The Pirates have just 2 losses in their last 6 but they were playing the Tigers and the Nats, not the best teams in the league. Cincinnati is the first playoff contender they have seen in over a week. Dillon Peters (0-2, 3.38 ERA) is starting for the Pirates and he has played in just 4 games all season. He allowed 5 runs in his last 2 starts and did not make it past the 5th inning in any of his starts this year. The Reds are a much better team and they need all of these wins in this series. The Pirates are 1 of the worst teams in the MLB so i like the Reds to win here and keep their playoff hopes alive. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Reds. |

09-14-21 | Indians v. Twins -117 | 3-1 | Loss | -117 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to beat the Cleveland Indians in game 1 of the double header on Tuesday. The Twins have just 1 win in their last 5 and they blew a 5 run lead to the Yankees going on to lose in their last game. They faced Cleveland about a week ago in a 4 game series and they took 3 of those games. Joe Ryan (1-1, 2.25 ERA) is starting and he has only played in 2 MLB games in his career this season. His last start was against the Indians and he got credit for the win as he went on to allow no earned runs in that game and just the 1 hit. The Indians were just swept by the Brewers with their last win coming against the Twins, that being their only win in their last 7 games. Triston McKenzie (4-6, 4.44 ERA) is starting and he has been decent lately. His last start was against the Twins and he allowed 1 run on 3 hits and was credited with the loss in that one. The Indians have not looked good at all lately while the Twins are at least scoring some runs. They already won the series against them last week 3 games to win and I think the Twins are taking this game 1 on Tuesday as well. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Twins. |

09-13-21 | Red Sox v. Mariners +115 | 4-5 | Win | 115 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Mariners have lost 2 in a row now after winning 2 in a row. Logan Gilbert (5-5, 5.10 ERA) is starting for them and he has pitched well in his last 2 starts. He has only allowed 2 earned runs in his last 2 starts. The Red Sox have not been playing well lately. They have now only put together 2 wins in 7 games. Eduardo Rodriguez (11-8, 5.15 ERA) is starting in this game and he has struggled in his last few starts. He has allowed 14 earned runs in his last 4 starts. He allowed 6 of those in his last start and I expect him to have another bad game here as the pressure starts to build for the Red Sox. Seattle is just 3 games out of a wildcard spot and will come to play hard for this win. The Red Sox are in the 2nd wild card spot now as the Jays have passed them and they will be struggling to cling to that with the way they are playing now. The Mariners take the win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Mariners. |
|||||||
09-10-21 | Reds -119 v. Cardinals | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds. I like the Cincinnati Reds to beat the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. The Reds have won just 1 game in their last 4 but I expect them to bounce back in this game. They are on the hunt for that last wildcard spot and need to get some wins in this series to gain that ground, especially with the Cardinals being just a few games back from them this series becomes that much more important. Tyler Mahle (11-5, 3.76 ERA) is their starter for this game and they have had lots of success with him on the mound this season. The Cardinals just snapped a 4 game losing streak with 2 wins over the Dodgers. Jon Lester (5-6, 4.89 ERA) is starting and he has played well since coming over to the Cardinals. The Reds have a better bullpen though, and if it comes down to it they will be able to win this game late with good pitching. I like the Reds to win here as they look to make the playoffs. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Reds. |
|||||||
09-08-21 | Blue Jays +108 v. Yankees | 6-3 | Win | 108 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M Selection: Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the New York Yankees on Wednesday. The Blue Jays are rolling hot right now on a 6 game winning streak. They have already won 2 of the 4 games in this series and will be looking to win the series with this game. Alek Manoah (5-2, 3.63 ERA) and he has been having a decent year so far. The Jays have won the last 3 games he started in. He allowed 6 runs in his last start but the Jays still came away with the win in that one. I expect him to bounce back and pitch a good game here. The Yankees have hit a bit of a slump lately losing their last 4 games in a row. Luis Gil (1-0, 0.00 ERA) and he has not allowed a run all season but has only pitched in 3 games. The Yankees have lost 1 and won 2 when he has started. Both teams have rookie pitchers starting but Manoah has played in a lot more MLB games than Gil has and has that extra experience. The Jays are also hot with their bats so I expect them to continue to roll and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. |

09-07-21 | Phillies v. Brewers -100 | 0-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I lilke the Milwaukee Brewers to win against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. After winning 2 straight the Brewers fell 12-0 to the Phillies in the 1st game of this series. Eric Lauer (4-5, 3.43 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has been pitching great lately. He has not allowed 3+ runs in any of his last 10 starts except on one occasion where he allowed exactly 3. The Phillies have now won 2 games in a row. Aaron Nola (7-7, 4.54 ERA) is starting on the mound and he has ben awful this season. He allowed 6 earned runs in 4 innings played in his last start. He has had some good games this season but most of the time he allows 4+ runs in his games. The Brewers are a much better team here and they have a big advantage with the starting pitching matchup here. They will come away with the win in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Brewers. |
|||||||
09-06-21 | Blue Jays +119 v. Yankees | Top | 8-0 | Win | 119 | 5 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). Do or die. Now or never. Use whatever cliche phrase you want, but this is a truly massive series for the Toronto Blue Jays. The two teams ahead of them in the standings for the Wildcard spot are the A's and the Yanks, and Toronto just swept Oakland at home over the weekend. New York has been trending in the other direction of late, as it's lost seven of its last ten, including two in a row. Both Jays' starter Hyun-Jin Ryu and Yanks' starter Jameson Taillon have struggled in August. Let's call these starters a "wash." But at this point of the season, I think that momentum is a very real, almost tangible factor and I expect it to be the difference-maker in the opener of this series. The value may swing the other way if Toronto wins tonight, but that's the way I see the opener of this one breaking down. A really strong situational play here, one worthy of my top 10* signature TRADE-MARK designation! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
09-05-21 | Astros v. Padres +100 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres I like the San Diego Padres to beat the Houston Astros on Sunday. After putting up 2 weak performances the Padres finally looked good with a 10-2 win against Houston in their last game. Chris Paddack (7-6, 4.98 ERA) is starting for the Padres and he has been pretty solid lately. The Padres have won their last 4 games with him starting. He has only allowed 4 runs in his last 3 games. The Astros have not been playing well lately with just the 1 win in 4 games. Luis Garcia (10-6, 3.23 ERA) is starting for the Astros and the team has won their last 5 with him starting. Those games were against some weaker hitting teams though. Now the Padres have started to find their bats and he should be in for a beating today. I like the Padres to win this one as they have fallen off a bit and need a win here to get themselves in a better position to get a wildcard spot. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. |
|||||||
09-04-21 | White Sox -158 v. Royals | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 15 h 30 m | Show | |
I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The White Sox had their 3 game winning streak snapped by the Royals in game 1 of this series. They will be looking to get this game back here. Reynaldo Lopez (3-1, 1.54 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and he has been good this season. The team has lost just once in his last 4 starts and he has only allowed runs in 1 game in his last 5 starts. The Royals snapped a 4 game losing streak with their win over the White Sox. Daniel Lynch (4-3, 4.47 ERA) is starting and he has been alright this year. His team has won the last 5 games he has made an appearance in. He has only allowed 1 run in each of his last 3 starts. The White Sox are just more talented and consistent with their play and should be able to bounce back in this game. T.M. Prediction 6-3 White Sox. |

09-02-21 | Pirates v. Cubs -150 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
I am on the over in the Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates game on Thursday. The Pirates had 9 total runs scored in their last game. Mitch Keller (4-10, 6.75 ERA) is starting for the Pirates and he has been awful this season. His last start saw 18 total runs in that game. He allowed 7 runs in his last start and just 2 of his last 5 starts he has allowed less than 4 runs scored against in a game. The Cubs have gone under in 2 straight games now but before that they had 3/4 games have 10+ runs scored by a single team. Keegan Thompson (3-3, 3.09 ERA) is starting and he has seen some high scoring ones lately. His last start ended in a 17-13 loss for his team. He has had 3/4 starts have 10+ runs in his last 4. Both pitchers have been struggling lately and the bullpens for these teams are not very good. There should be lots of runs scored in this one to shoot it over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Cubs. |
|||||||
09-01-21 | Brewers +144 v. Giants | 5-2 | Win | 144 | 12 h 25 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to upset the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. The Brewers are currently on a 3 game win streak, taking the 1st 2 games of this series. Brett Anderson (4-8, 4.27 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has lost his last 3 starts. He has allowed 12 runs in his last 3 starts averaging 4 runs per game allowed in those ones. He is due for a bounce back game here. The Giants are currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing the 1st 2 games of this series. Kevin Gausman (12-5, 2.49 ERA) is starting for the Giants in this one. He has been credited with 3 straight wins when there was a decision made. His team lost in the last game he started in and he allowed 2 runs on 6 hits managing to only get 2 Ks in the entire game. The Brewers are rolling right now as they hold a big lead for 1st place in the NL Central. The Giants, however, have been slipping lately and are about to fall out of 1st in the NL West as the Dodgers are a half game behind. I think they will continue to fall here and lose their 1st place spot as the Brewers are rolling hot right now. Brewers win this one. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Brewers. |

08-31-21 | Cubs v. Twins -154 | 3-1 | Loss | -154 | 16 h 56 m | Show | |
I like the Minnesota Twins to beat the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The Twins have been on a little roll lately picking up 3 wins in 4 games. John Gant (4-8, 4.00 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has lost his last 2 starts. He allowed 4 ERs in each of those games but has been pretty good in the relief appearances he made before that. The Cubs have been doing the opposite of the Twins lately picking up 3 losses in 4 games. Zach Davies (6-10, 5.00 ERA) is starting for the Cubs and he has not been good getting credited with 4 straight losses now. He has struggled lately as 4/6 starts for him in his last 6 have had 4+ runs scored against him. The Twins have been playing much better than the Cubs lately and Gant has been more consistent when he appears in games. I like the Twins to get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |
|||||||
08-30-21 | Brewers -137 v. Giants | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the San Francisco Giants on Monday. The Brewers snapped a 3 game losing streak on Sunday with a 6-2 win over the Twins. Corbin Burnes (8-4, 2.30) is starting for the Brewers and he has been great this year getting credited with 6 straight wins the last 6 games he was in where there was a decision. The team has also won in his last 7 starts. He was shaky in his last start allowing 4 earned runs, but the 3 games before that he only allowed 1 total. The Giants had their 4 game win streak snapped in the last series and have now won just 1 of their last 3 games. They did not put up any runs at all in their last game getting shutout 9-0 to the Braves. Johnny Cueto (7-6, 3.73 ERA) is starting for the Giants and he has been good all season. The team has won 3 of the last 4 games he has started in. He has allowed 5 runs in his last 3 games but none at all in his last start. Both pitchers have been pretty solid but the Brewers offense has been better in the last few games so I am backing them to get the win here as they look for a playoff spot. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Brewers. |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Royals v. Mariners -160 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The Mariners have now lost their last 3 games in a row. Marco Gonzales (5-5, 4.13 ERA) is starting for the Mariners and he has been pitching well lately. The team has won their last 3 starts with him on the mound. He has allowed more than 2 earned runs in just 1 game in his last 7 starts. The Royals are on a 3 game win streak winning all 3 games of this series so far. Brady Singer (3-9, 5.07 ERA) is starting for the Royals. The team has won just 1 game in his last 5 starts. He has a allowed a total of 15 runs in his last 4 games averaging almost 4 runs per game. The Mariners have the better pitcher starting here and are still in the hunt for the playoffs needing to pick up a win here. I do not think that this team is going to get swept by the Royals in a 4 game series so I am taking the Mariners to get back on track here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Mariners. |

08-28-21 | Brewers -146 v. Twins | 4-6 | Loss | -146 | 14 h 56 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. The Brewers have now lost 2 in a row after winning 4 straight before that. Adrian Houser (7-5, 3.44 ERA) will be starting as the Brewers look to bounce back. His team has lost just 1 game in his last 11 starts. He has not allowed a single run scored against him in 3 of his last 4 games allowing a total of 1 run in that 4 game span. The Twins took game 1 of this series but they still have just 2 wins in 7 games. Charlie Barnes (0-3, 6.56 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has not been good this season. His team has won just 1 game in the 5 appearances he has made all season. He is coming off a game where he allowed 7 earned runs. The Twins are pretty much out while the Brewers are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Brewers have the much better pitching advantage here and will win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Brewers. |

08-28-21 | Royals v. Mariners -148 | 4-2 | Loss | -148 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The Mariners have now lost 2 in a row after winning 3 straight. Tyler Anderson (6-8, 4.07 ERA) will be starting for the Mariners. The team has now won his last 3 starts. He has not had a game where he allowed more than 2 runs in his last 4. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in a game in his last 10 going back to his days on the Pirates. The Royals are currently on a 2 game win streak taking the 1st 2 games of this series. Daniel Lynch (4-3, 4.74 ERA) is starting here for the Royals. His team has won in his last 4 starts for them. He has allowed just 1 run in 3 of his last 4 starts. The Royals are not going to sweep the Mariners and Seattle is still looking to get into a wildcard spot while all hope seems lost for the Royals to get there. I like this game for the Mariners to bounce back and get a must needed win. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Mariners. |

08-27-21 | Brewers -128 v. Twins | 0-2 | Loss | -128 | 15 h 52 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The Brewers just had a 4 game win streak snapped by the Reds on Thursday and they will be looking to get back on track in this one. Eric Lauer (4-4, 3.59 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has been pitching great lately. His team has the last 4 games that he started. He has only allowed more than 2 runs in a game in his last 8. The Twins have not been playing well lately as they have just 1 win in 6 games. Andrew Albers (0-0, 2.25 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has only pitched in 1 game this year. He only allowed 1 run on 2 hits as his team went on to lose that game to the Yankees. With not much to go on this season it is hard to know what he will do in this one. Lauer has been pretty consistent lately and the Brewers are on fire as they lead their division while the Twins sit in last place of their division. I like the Brewers here to take care of business as usual. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Brewers. |

08-26-21 | Yankees -110 v. A's | 7-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
I like the New York Yankees to beat the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. The Yankees have definitely kicked it into high gear currently on an 11 game win streak. Jameson Taillon (8-4, 3.94 ERA) is starting for the Yankees and he has been pitching great. He has been credited with 7 straight wins and his team has only lost 1 game in his last 11 starts. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in his last 8 starts and should be able to shut down the A's lineup as he has been so great. The Athletics have been in a little slump lately currently on a 4 game losing streak. James Kaprielian (7-4, 3.25 ERA) is on the mound for the A's and he has been good as well. His team has won his last 3 starts, but he allowed 6 runs in the game right before that. The Yankees are just too hot right now to step in front of and Taillon has been more consistent. Yankees take this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yankees. |

08-26-21 | White Sox v. Blue Jays -103 | 10-7 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. The Blue Jays have already picked up 2 of the 4 games in this series with the White Sox, including a 3-1 win over them in the previous game. Hyun Jin Ryu (12-6, 3.54 ERA) is starting for the Jays and he has been real solid lately. The Jays have just 1 loss in his last 8 starts. He has allowed 11 runs in his last 3 games, but he turned that around in his last one allowing no runs through 7 innings. The White Sox have just 1 win in their last 5 games. Carlos Rodon (9-5, 2.38 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and they have actually lost 2 of his last 3 starts. He allowed 6 runs in 2 games but pitched a shut out through 5 innings in his last. The White Sox are in a comfy 1st place of their division while the Blue Jays are still in the hunt for a wildcard spot. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jays. |

08-25-21 | Dodgers -135 v. Padres | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 10 m | Show |
I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The Dodgers are hot losing just once in their last 11. They are on the hunt for 1st place in their division just 3 games back from the Giants. Walker Buehler (13-2, 2.11 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Dodgers and he has been fantastic this season. His team has won the last 3 games he started for them and they have also won 17 of the 25 games he has played in this season. He has been averaging less than 2 runs allowed per game as teams can't seem to find an answer for him. The Padres have not been playing well lately with just 1 win in their last 7. Blake Snell (6-5, 4.82 ERA) has been decent lately, his team losing the last 2 games he started in. He allowed 5 runs total in his last 2 starts. The Dodgers are trending in the opposite direction from the Padres and I have to ride them while they are hot. Dodgers win this one. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. |

08-24-21 | Angels -135 v. Orioles | 14-8 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show | |
I like the Los Angeles Angels to beat the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. The Angels are currently on a 3 game losing streak after getting swept by Cleveland over the weekend. Dylan Bundy (2-9, 4.71 ERA) will be starting for the Angels and his team has won 2 games in his last 3 starts. He has allowed 5 earned runs in that span averaging less than 2 per game. The Orioles are the worst team in the MLB and are currently on an 18 game losing streak. Spenser Watkins (2-5, 5.63 ERA) is starting and he has not been good losing his last 5 starts in a row. He allowed 4+ earned runs in each of those games. The Orioles have been awful and so has Watkins. The Angels will be looking to get back on track here. Angels get the win. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Angels. |

08-23-21 | White Sox v. Blue Jays -101 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Blue Jays to beat the Chicago White Sox on Monday. The Blue Jays have hit a bit of a slump lately as they have just 1 win in 5 games. Alek Manoah (5-2, 3.34 ERA) and he has pitched well lately with his team winning 3 of his last 4 starts. He was blown up for 6 earned runs in his last start but that has not been the norm with him. In his 6 starts before that he had not allowed more than 2 runs in each in 5 starts. The White Sox have not been any better lately as they have just 1 win in 4 games. Lance Lynn (10-3, 2.26 ERA) will be starting and he has pitched well with his team losing just 1 game in his last 8 starts. He has only allowed 3+ runs on 2 occasions in his last 9 starts. I think Lynn is due for a let down here while Manoah bounces back in this one. Blue Jays win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jays. |

08-20-21 | Royals -113 v. Cubs | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show | |
I like the Kansas City Royals to beat the Chicago Cubs on Friday afternoon. The Royals are playing well right now as they just took 3 games of 4 in their series to the Houston Astros. Brad Keller (7-12, 5.62 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Royals and he has had a tough season thus far. The team has just 1 win his last 12 starts for them, but that is bound to turn around at some point. He allowed 9 earned runs total in his last 2 starts, but the 5 prior to that he did not allow more than 3 in a single game. The Cubs are currently on a 2 game win streak after shattering their 12 game losing streak right before. They have not been having a good season at all. Zach Davies (6-9, 5.00 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Cubs and he has not pitched well lately. The team has 1 win in his last 9 starts for them. He pitched a shutout through 6 innings in his last game, but in the 2 prior to that he allowed 7 earned runs in each game, only playing 4 innings in 1 and 2 innings in the other. Both of these pitchers have seen better days so I have to go with the Royals here at home. They are more consistent and have been playing better as of late. Royals win this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Royals. |

08-19-21 | A's v. White Sox -135 | 5-4 | Loss | -135 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. The White Sox are currently on a 3 game win streak, winning all 3 against these Athletics. Dylan Cease (9-6, 4.04 ERA) is starting on the mound for the White Sox and he has pitched well lately. He has been credited with 2 straight wins and the team has won 3 games in the last 4 he started in. He has not allowed more than 3 earned runs in his last 7 starts. The Athletics have been in a slump lately currently on a 4 game losing streak. Cole Irvin (8-11, 3.52 ERA) is starting for the Athletics and he has not been doing well as of late. He has lost 3 games of his last 4 starts. He has also allowed a total of 5 earned runs in his last 2 starts. The White Sox have rolled over the A's in this series and I expect that to continue here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox. |

08-19-21 | Mariners -158 v. Rangers | Top | 9-8 | Win | 100 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Texas Rangers on Thursday. The Mariners have been red hot in their last few games losing just 1 time in 7 games. They have won the last 4 straight that they have played Texas in. Chris Flexen (10-5, 3.78 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Mariners and he has played well this season. The team has lost just 1 game in his last 3 starts and he has only allowed 7 earned runs total in that span. The Rangers have not looked good lately as they have won just 1 game in their last 4. They will be starting Spencer Howard (0-3, 5.61 ERA) and he has not pitched well as his team lost 4 of the last 5 games he played for the Phillies in. His team has already lost both games he appeared in as a Mariner too. These teams are going in opposite directions so I like the Mariners to keep rolling here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mariners. |

08-18-21 | Angels -126 v. Tigers | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
I like the Los Angeles Angels to beat the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. The Angels have picked up 2 wins in their last 3 games, winning the first game of the series with the Tigers 8-2. Shohei Ohtani (7-1, 2.93 ERA) has been having a great season both pitching and hitting. He has been credited with 6 straight wins and the team has won their last 3 games when he has started on the mound. He has been pitching very well lately, his last 5 starts having less than 3 earned runs allowed in each. The Tigers are currently on a 2 game losing skid where they have scored just 2 runs total between the 2 games. Tarik Skubal (8-10, 4.10 ERA) will be starting on the mound for them in this one and he has been up and down this season. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 2 starts, but in the 5 games before that he was averaging over 3 earned runs per game. He has not allowed a run in 11 innings but I think that will come to an end here. Ohtani has been a much more consistent pitcher this season and the Angels are just the better team in general. I like the Angels to win this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Angels. |

08-16-21 | Padres -129 v. Rockies | 5-6 | Loss | -129 | 22 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the San Diego Padres to defeat the Colorado rockies on Monday night. San Diego has broken their 4 game slump with a big 8-2 victory against the Diamondbacks on Sunday. Ryan Weathers (4-5, 4.72 ERA) will be starting for the Padres and he has been struggling lately. He has been credited with the loss in his last 3 straight starts and the team has lost the last 5 games in a row that he has made an appearance in. He has really been blown up in his last 3 starts allowing 6+ earned runs in each game. I expect him to have a must needed bounce back in this one. The Rockies have put together just 1 win in their last 6 games, allowing 5+ runs scored against them in all 5 of those losses. Antonio Senzatela (2-9, 4.71 ERA) will be starting for the Rockies here and he has not been too good this season. He has been credited with 4 straight losses and has been allowing a lot of runs scored against him when he starts. He has been allowing an average of 3+ earned runs in his last 10 starts, and has cost his team the win in quite a few games this season. Now that the Padres have the taste of winning back in their mouth they should be able to start rolling again. Padres come away with the win here. T.M. Prediction: 7-5 Padres. |
|||||||
08-15-21 | Blue Jays v. Mariners +110 | 8-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Seattle Mariners to win against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. The Mariners have been on a bit of a roll lately winning their last 4 straight, taking the 1st 2 games of this series against the Jays. Logan Gilbert (5-3, 4.05 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Mariners and he has been decent in his last few starts. The team has lost the last 2 games he has started in, but I think he is due to bounce back here. The Blue Jays have certainly entered into a slump losing 3 straight games in a row. They will be starting Steven Matz (9-7, 4.28 ERA) in this one and he has pitched well in his last few starts. The team has only won 2 out of their last 7 games with him as a starter. These 2 teams are moving in opposite directions right now, the Mariners are heating up while the Blue Jays are cooling down. I think that will continue for both sides here as the Mariners take this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners. |
|||||||
08-15-21 | Reds v. Phillies -132 | 7-4 | Loss | -132 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
I like the Philadelphia Phillies to beat the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Both teams have won a game in this series by the score of 6-1, but I think the Philles will take this one. Aaron Nola (7-6, 4.35 ERA) will be starting for the Phillies in this one and he has pitched some good games lately. He had 1 game in his last 4 where he got blown up, but other than that he has been pretty solid allowing no more than 2 earned runs in each of the other 3 games. The Reds have been in a bit of a rough patch winning just 2 games in 6. They will be starting Sonny Gray (4-6, 4.40 ERA) on the mound and he has not done too well in his his last few starts. He has allowed 20 earned runs total in his last 5 starts. The Reds had been on a long streak of scoring a lot of runs in their games, but that has finally died down. I expect the Phillies to take this game as the Reds' bats have gone cold. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Phillies. |

08-13-21 | Dodgers -148 v. Mets | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 28 m | Show |
I am on the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the New York Mets on Friday evening. The Dodgers had a 4 game win streak snapped on Thursday and i expect them to get back on track here. Julio Urias (13-3, 3.41 ERA) will be starting for them and he has been great this season. He has only allowed 3 earned runs in his last 4 and has been credited with 4 straight wins. The team has been very successful this year with him pitching losing just 6 of the 23 games he has started in. The Mets have been a little hot lately, currently on a 3 game win streak, but 2 of those wins came by just 1 run. The Mets will be starting Tylor Megill (1-2, 3.20 ERA) and he does not have too much experience playing in the big leagues. He has lost his last 2 starts allowing 4 earned runs in each of those games. The Dodgers lineup has a lot of talent and depth and will beat up on this rookie pitcher. The Mets have played some close games lately, but that win streak will end here as the Dodgers will be looking to get a win after losing the previous night. I expect the Dodgers to take this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. |
|||||||
08-10-21 | Dodgers -163 v. Phillies | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The Dodgers are currently on a roll winning their last 2 games. The recently acquired stud Max Scherzer (9-4, 2.75 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Dodgers. He was credited with a win in his debut for the team only allowing 2 earned runs as the Dodgers went on to win that game 7-5. Scherzer is all too familiar with this Phillies lineup after years of playing in the same division, and he is 3-0 against these Phillies this season giving up just 1 earned run in each of those games. Aaron Nola (7-6, 4.49 ERA) is the starter for Philadelphia and he has definitely struggled a bit lately. He has allowed 4+ earned runs in a majority of his last 6 starts. The Dodgers have been hitting well with 13 runs scored in their last 2 games. I think Nola will be in for a beating here as Scherzer extends his perfect streak against these Phillies. Dodgers get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Dodgers. |

08-07-21 | Marlins +145 v. Rockies | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 9 m | Show | |
I like the Miami Marlins at the underdog price here to defeat the Colorado Rockies. The Marlins are coming off of a beating from these Rockies on Friday night and revenge will be on the mind for them. Jesus Luzardo (3-4, 6.70 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Marlins and he has been shaky this season. Hoping for a new start on a new team, Luzardo has already turned things around getting the win for himself and his team in his debut game as a Marlin. The Rockies will be starting Austin Gomber (8-6, 4.04 ERA) who has been performing well this season. he may be trending in the wrong direction though, as he has allowed 9 runs scored total in his last 3 starts. Jesus Luzardo should have his confidence up here with a good start already on his new team. The Marlins' bats should be hungry after the destruction they suffered the previous night and i think they get the job done here at the dog price. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Marlins. |

08-07-21 | Red Sox v. Blue Jays -148 | 2-1 | Loss | -148 | 19 h 6 m | Show | |
I am on the Toronto Blue Jays to win game 2 of this double-header on Saturday against the Boston Red Sox. The Blue Jays have been steamrolling right over teams currently on a 4 game win streak and losing just once in their last 9 outings. Jose Berrios (8-5, 3.31 ERA) is set to start on the mound for Toronto and he has been having a decent season thus far. Recently, Berrios was on a bit of a losing skid over in Minnesota, but he came out in his Blue Jays debut and pitched a shutout for the win getting right back on track. The Red Sox will be starting Tanner Houck (0-2, 2.45 ERA) who has also been having a pretty good season up to this point. The last game he pitched in was against these Blue Jays allowing only 1 run in a 4-1 win for the Red Sox. Toronto's bats have certainly heated up since that game though, and he will be in for a beating here. The Blue Jays take the win in game 2. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-06-21 | Tigers v. Indians -150 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 18 h 33 m | Show | |
I like the Cleveland Indians on Friday night to take down the Detroit Tigers. Cal Quantrill (2-2, 3.40 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Indians. The team has actually lost the last 3 games that he has made an appearance in. Despite this, Quantrill has actually been pitching very well lately allowing no more than 1 run in each of his last 4 starts. The Tigers will be starting Matt Manning (2-4, 5.59 ERA) on the mound and he has had a bit of a rough MLB debut this season. In 8 starts this season, the team has only won 3 games that he has made an appearance in. The Indians just went 0-3 in their series against the Ble Jays and will be eager to get back to winning ways here. I like them to snap their losing streak against this rookie pitcher here on Friday night. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Indians. |
|||||||
08-06-21 | White Sox -149 v. Cubs | 8-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
I like Lance Lynn (10-3, 2.07 ERA) and the Chicago White Sox to defeat Kyle Hendricks (13-4, 3.71 ERA) and the Chicago Cubs Friday afternoon. The White Sox are currently on a little losing skid after dropping 2 of 3 games to the Royals and should be eager to get back in the win column here. Lynn has pitched very well this season and has allowed more than 1 run on just 1 occasion in his last 6 starts. The team has won 4 games of his last 5 starts and they also back him up with run support scoring a total 25 runs in those 5 games. The Cubs have really been struggling lately as they have amassed 7 losses in 9 games. Hendricks has also been pitching well this year and has been awarded with a win in his last 11 starts that there was a decision. This streak cannot go on forever though, and I think this is the perfect spot for him to lose in. The White Sox get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 White Sox. |
|||||||
08-04-21 | Angels -160 v. Rangers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 45 m | Show | |
I am on the LA Angels to beat the Texas Rangers Wednesday night. The Angels have been in a bit of a rough patch lately picking up 4 losses in their last 6. They will have Shohei Ohtani (5-1, 3.04 ERA) starting on the mound for them and he has been having a stellar year on the mound and in the lineup. The team has won 6 of their last 8 games when he has made an appearance in the game. The Rangers had their 3 game win streak ended by the Angels on Tuesday. Kolby Allard (2-9, 5.23 ERA) will be starting for them and he has had an awful season so far. He has allowed 4+ runs in each of his last 4 starts and the Rangers have lost the last 7 straight games that he has made an appearance in. This is the perfect spot for the Angels to get back on track here against a slumping pitcher. The Angels should come away with the win here no problem. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Angels. |
|||||||
08-04-21 | Mariners v. Rays -153 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
I like the Tampa Bay Rays to defeat the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. The Rays have been on a roll lately picking up 4 wins in 6 games and i expect that to continue here. Josh Fleming (8-5, 4.15 ERA) will be on the mound for them here and he has not performed well lately. He has allowed 3+ runs in each of his last 3 starts but I expect a big bounce back for him here. The Mariners have been on the complete opposite streak losing 4 in 7 games. Logan Gilbert (5-2, 4.04 ERA) will be starting for them and he has had a pretty good debut season. The Mariners have won their last 11 straight games when Gilbert has made an appearance in the game, but that trend has been running much too long and that will end in this game. The Rays have the momentum on their side and will come out with a win on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Rays. |
|||||||
08-03-21 | Astros v. Dodgers -170 | 3-0 | Loss | -170 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
I like the LA Dodgers to get the win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The Dodgers have won their last 2 games scoring a combined 21 runs in those. They will be starting Walker Buehler (11-1, 2.19 ERA) on the mound who has been having an incredible season this year. The Dodgers definitely back him up with runs as they have scored a combined 42 runs in Buehler's last 4 starts. The Astros are on a 2 game losing skid right now and will be starting Lance McCullers (8-2, 3.23 ERA) on the mound. McCullers has also been having a great season so far but will face a tough challenge here as the Dodgers' bats have woken up. The Dodgers have more momentum coming into this game and they will be the ones who come out victorious here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Dodgers. |
|||||||
08-02-21 | Mariners v. Rays -150 | 8-2 | Loss | -150 | 14 h 31 m | Show | |
I like the Michael Wacha (2-2, 4.79 ERA) and the Tampa Bay Rays to win over Chris Flexen (9-5, 3.81 ERA) and the Seattle Mariners. The Rays have been hot lately winning their last 4 games scoring a combined 33 runs across those games. Wacha lost his last start but the team won their previous 3 when he has started on the mound. The Mariners are currently on a 2 game losing streak and have lost 4 of their last 5. Flexen has also lost his last 2 starts on the mound for his team. The Rays are on the road to the playoffs right now and I expect them to put up a good performance here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Rays. |
|||||||
08-01-21 | Astros +100 v. Giants | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
I like the Houston Astros to beat the San Francisco Giants. Luis Garcia (7-5, 3.19 ERA) allowed 6 runs in the last game he played in, but the team has won 4 of their last 6 when he has started on the mound and I think he will be looking to bounce back here with a good performance. Logan Webb (4-3, 3.36 ERA) has pitched extremly well with the team winning their last 7 straight with him starting on the mound. I think that good fortune comes to an end here as the Astros' bats are hot currently scoring 6+ runs in each of their last 5 games. The Astros win this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. |
|||||||
08-01-21 | Brewers v. Braves -157 | 2-1 | Loss | -157 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
I like Charlie Morton (10-3, 3.72 ERA) and the Atlanta Braves to get the job done again today. Atlanta have won 4 of the last 5 games that Morton has made an appearance in. The Braves are coming off of an 8-1 win against the Milwaukee Brewers last night. After 4 straight games of scoring 7+ runs the Brewers have finally calmed down with their bats and I expect that to continue into this game. Brett Anderson (3-5, 3.86 ERA) did not allow a run in the last game he pitched in, but the Brewers have lost 4 of their last 6 games when he has started on mound. I like the Braves to win this game. T.M. Prediction : 6-3 Braves. |
|||||||
07-31-21 | Twins +122 v. Cardinals | 8-1 | Win | 122 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota (8* MONEY-MAKER). I like the Twins and Bailey Ober (1-1, 5.19 ERA) to get the better of Jon Lester and the Cardinals this evening. Ober is coming off a no-decision to the Angels on Sunday despite allowing only two runs and striking out four over six innings. The bottom line is though I think that Lester (3-5, 5.02) will struggle for his new team. Adjustment period is imminent and I expect that to lead to a victory for the undervalued/starving Twins; the play is Minnesota! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |
|||||||
07-30-21 | Twins -114 v. Cardinals | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -114 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins (10* TRADE-MARK). I like Jose Berrios (7-5, 3.48 ERA) in this matchup over his counterpart Wade LeBlanc (0-2, 4.31). LeBlanc is coming off another shaky start for the Cards, most recently allowing three runs off eight hits over four innings in a fortunate no-decision to the Reds. He's only pitched 22 innings and his decent ERA is not supported at all by his pedestrian/poor 1.55 WHIP and 15/9 K:BB. Berrios gave up two runs over seven innings and still took a loss to the Angels in his last outing. Off that hard-luck setback, I look for Berrios to be pivotal in his team posting a victory here; lay the short price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Minnesota. |
|||||||
07-29-21 | Blue Jays +103 v. Red Sox | Top | 13-1 | Win | 103 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). Toronto needs to make up some ground on the Red Sox and maintain its lead on the Yanks. I like the Jays to build off their 4-1 win yesterday. They will feel great in handing the ball to Hyun-Jin Ryu (9-5, 3.44 ERA), who is coming off a mediocre no-decision to the Mets, allowing four runs over four innings. Ryu though has been super solid all year and there's no reason not to believe he can't return to form here. Eduardo Rodriguez (7-5, 5.23) has pitched much better of late after a shaky start, but he still owns a poor 5.36 ERA at home this season. I like Ryu in this one, great value on the hungry Jays! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Toronto. |
|||||||
07-29-21 | Yankees -130 v. Rays | 0-14 | Loss | -130 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Yanks (8* MONEY-MAKER). I think Luis Patino (1-2, 5.26 ERA) has a lot of potential, but he's completely overclassed here and I think he'll struggle to keep pace. He most recently allowed four runs over five innings in a no-decision. He'll be opposed by Yanks' ace Gerritt Cole (10-5, 2.74), who has admittedly not been at his best over the last month, but who I think will have more than enough to easily beat Patino (Cole is 6-3 with a 2.77 ERA on the road.) The Rays have lost three straight and all signs point to to another one here. Great price on the undervalued visiting side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
07-28-21 | Braves v. Mets -125 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mets (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Mets have been trading wins and losses ove rtheir last six games and after falling here 12-5 to the Braves yesterday, I expect this strong trend to continue. I have no faith in Braves' starter Max Fried. Tylor Megill has been great over 30 innings for the Mets though posting a 1.10 WHIP and 33 to 10 strikeout to walk ratio. At this price, how can we possibly turn this one down? I say the Mets bounce back big! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
07-28-21 | Cardinals v. Indians +102 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 102 | 4 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the way this one sets up for Zach Plesac and the Indians. Cleveland is deperate for a win here, as it's lost seven of its last ten, including a 4-2 loss here yesterday to the Cards. St. Louis has a night off before another interleague series, but this time at home to the Twins, setting this up as a classic letdown/look-ahead spot for the visitors, who have won two in a row and seven of their last ten. Kwang-Hyun Kim has won five straight starts, but I say he finally stumbles here against the hungrier home side; great value here on Cleveland! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. |
|||||||
07-27-21 | Dodgers -117 v. Giants | 1-2 | Loss | -117 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (8* MONEY-MAKER). After losing three in a row, the Dodgers have now won two straight. I say the keep the foot on the gas again here on Tuesday night. San Fran broke a two-game slide with a 6-1 at Pittsburgh, but I think it'll have its hands full here in the opener of this one. Logan Webb (4-3, 3.54 ERA), has been good, but I'll give the big nod to Julio Urias (12-3, 3.63) who has been a beat all year for LA. This is a bigger mismatch than what this line is trying to lead us to believe. Great value on the Dodgers! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Dodgers. |
|||||||
07-27-21 | Marlins -120 v. Orioles | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Marlins (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I like the Marlins and Sandy Alcantara here. He's coming off a longer layoff because being on the bereavement list, but I think that'll help him here. Spencer Watkins has been great in his limited time for the Orioles, but I think he'll struggle here to keep pace with his superior opponent. The Orioles have won six in a row, but I say that streak ends here (nnote that Baltimore is still just 4-9 in its last 13 at home.) Look for Miami to move to 10-3 in its last 13 interleague road games against a team with a losing record; the play is the Marlins! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Miami. |
|||||||
07-26-21 | Reds v. Cubs -125 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cubs (10* TRADE-MARK). The Cubs are out of contention, but they haven't thrown in the towel and they won't be rolling over for their division rival here. Especially with their ace on the mound. Wade Miley (8-4, 2.72 ERA) and Kyle Henrdricks (12-4, 3.61) are evenly matched, but the Cubs are 7-1 in their last eight home games in the -115 to -135 range. In the opener of this four-game set, look for the home side to draw "first blood." The play is the Cubs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Chicago. |
|||||||
07-25-21 | Tigers v. Royals +104 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 104 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Royals (10* TRADE-MARK). The Royals are playing their best ball of the year right now and I look for that trend to continue here. After coming from behind and then holding on for the 9-8 victory over the Tigers yesterday, the Royals have now won four in a row. Detroit had won seven in a row and I think its now due for further regression after back-to-back road defeats here. Lynch and Skubal are the starting pitchers. Both have been bad. They're a "wash" for arguments sakes, but the momentum that KC has built up right now is real in my opinion. I'll also point out that the Royals are 7-2 in their last nine after scoring 8 or more runs in a home victory in their last outing. The price is right, the play is KC! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 KC. |
|||||||
07-24-21 | Tigers v. Royals -120 | Top | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Royals (10* TRADE-MARK). The Tigers seven-game winning run came to an end in yesterday's 5-3 defeat here. The Royals are hungry for more victories and they're arguably playing their best ball of the season right now, as they enter on a three-game win skein. Look for that momentum to get carried over here. Casey Mize (5-5, 3.44 ERA) of the Tigers and Carlos Hernandez (1-1, 4.91) of the Royals are a wash as far as these starting pitchers are concerned. Detroit had been playing over its head over the last two weeks and a crash was inevitable. Expect that slide to continue here and for the starving home side to take advantage! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 KC. |
|||||||
07-23-21 | Nationals -129 v. Orioles | Top | 1-6 | Loss | -129 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nationals (10* TRADE-MARK). Washington's three-game win streak came to an end after a 3-1 loss at home to Miami two nights ago. I think the Nats bounce back here though in this favorable interleague matchup on Friday night. The visiting side hands the ball to Patrick Corbin (6-8, 5.66 ERA) and the home side sees Jorge Lopez(2-12, 6.04) take the hill. Clearly, these two guys have struggled this season. Washington though is 7-1 in its last eight after a home loss in which it was held to one or less runs in. I like the big bats of the Nationals to be the difference; lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Nationals. |
|||||||
07-22-21 | Cubs v. Cardinals -115 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals (10* TRADE-MARK). St. Louis squeaked out a win yesterday, but I think it'll win much more handily in this favorable matchup on Thursday. The Cubs see Adbert Alzolay (4-9, 4.59 ERA) toe the rubber; he's 0-4 with a 5.84 ERA in five outing since coming off the injured list on June 21st. Kwang Hyun Kim (5-5, 2.87) enters playing his best ball of the year, as he hasn't given up a single run over his last 21 innings of work. Yes, regression is going to happen, and likely even going to happen here. But, I still say Kim can easily outduel his inconsistent counterpart at home. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value!"Â T.M. Prediction: 6-3 St. Louis. |

T.M. Selection: Mets (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Mets lost here yesterday, but I think that Marcus Stroman and the visiting side are the correct call on Wednesday. Stroman, while only 6-8, has a 2.78 ERA. His counterpart today is Jeff Hoffman (3-4, 4.61), who makes his first start since May. Stroman hasn't been pefect of late, but here's the golden opportunity he's been looking for to get back into the winners circle. This line is out of whack, I think Stroman should be favored by more here. The value swings to New York! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
07-20-21 | Phillies v. Yankees +119 | Top | 4-6 | Win | 119 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankees (10* TRADE-MARK). Aaron Nola (6-5, 4.53 ERA) and the Philadelphia Phillies both play much better at home. Nola is just 3-3 with a 5.42 ERA on the road this year. For arguments sakes, let's call him a "wash" here still with Domingo German (4-5, 4.72.) New York though is 8-3 in its last 11 interleague home games as an underdog in the +101 to +120 range. Look for the shift in venue to put a monkey-wrench into the Phillies recent momentum, while everything points to the Yanks building off their series win over the Red Sox this wekeend. Great value on the hungry home side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
07-19-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -132 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -132 | 12 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). As good as Kevin Gausman (9-3, 1.73 ERA) has been for the Giants, I say that he and Tony Gonsolin (1-0, 2.13) are a "wash" here for all intents and purposes. And that means that the Giants, who enter having lost back-to-back games and scoring just one run in each, are getting too much respect. Note as well that LA is 7-2 in its last nine as a home favorite in the -120 to -135 range. Great value here on the Dodgers! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 LA. |
|||||||
07-18-21 | Padres v. Nationals -105 | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 22 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nationals (9* ELITE OF THE ELITE). The Nationals game was suspended yesterday in the sixth inning due to a shooting outside the Arean. Previous to tha tthe Padres won 24-8. They were winning 8-4 yesterday as well. But with Washington's ace on the mound, I think the home side will deliver on Sunday. Joe Musgrove (5-7, 2.93 ERA) gets the ball for the Padres, while Max Scherzer (7-4, 2.66) gets the call for the Nationals. I like Musgrove, but give me Scherzer here at home (he owns a tiny 0.88 WHIP as well.) After back-to-back humbling defeats, I like Washington find a way to get the job done in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Nationals. |
|||||||
07-18-21 | Rays v. Braves -105 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta (10* TRADE-MARK). The Braves bounced back from a narrow 7-6 defeat in this series opener vs. the Rays to pound them 9-0 yesterday. Suffice it to say, I think the hungrier home side builds off that victory. Veteran starters Rich Hill of the Rays and Drew Smyly of the Braves here are a "wash" in my opinion. Note though that ATL is a sharp 7-1 in its last eight after a shutout home win over an opponent in which it scored seven or more runs in. All things considered, this is an unbelievable price; lay it, the play is the Braves! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Braves. |
|||||||
07-18-21 | Twins -125 v. Tigers | 0-7 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Twins (8* MONEY-MAKER). After sweeping the Tigers in four straight before the All Star break at home, the Twins have lost the first two games of this series in Detroit. Both came in a double-header yesterday, falling 1-0 in the opener and 5-4 in the second. Minnesota is interestingly 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge two straight losses to an opponent. JA Happ (5-4, 5.90 ERA) comes in off his best start of the year just before the break, allowing three runs and striking out eight over seven innings in a victory over these very Tigers. It was his second quality start in his last three tries and I say the extra time off between starts will only help the veteran. Wily Peralta (2-1, 2.08) has been good over 26 innings of work, but I say regression is in order here, as he's simply in the wrong place at th ewrong time. Lay it, the play is Minnesota! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |
|||||||
07-17-21 | Astros v. White Sox -106 | Top | 1-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox (10* TRADE-MARK). Houston has the most prolific offense in the majors, but the White Sox aren't far behind sitting in fourth. Chicago lost 7-1 last night, which snapped a five-game win streak it was on heading into the break. The Astros have been amazing, but I think that Lucas Giolito is the correct call at home here over Jake Odorizzi. The Astros veteran has been superb over the last month, but the All Star break is going to throw a proverbial monkey-wrench into his rythym in my opinion. Look for the hungry home side to bounce back in this revenge spot! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 White Sox. |
|||||||
07-16-21 | Rays v. Braves -124 | 7-6 | Loss | -124 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Braves (8* MONEY-MAKER). Michael Wacha (2-2, 4.87 ERA) has been decent, not great for the Rays this year. Tampa is putting together another strong season, as it enters the second half with a 53-37 record, but I think that the correct call is on the 44-45 Braves, who have considerable ground to make up in the second half, and who will have to do it without the services of slugger Ronald Acuna Jr., who tore his ACL. Charlie Morton (8-3, 3.64) has been great this year after a slow start for the Braves, as he has a 114:33 K/BB over 99 frames of work. He most recently went seven scoreless in a win over the Marlins (8 K's.) Lay the short price on the much hungrier home side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Atlanta. |
|||||||
07-11-21 | Braves +109 v. Marlins | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Braves (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Braves have won seven of their last ten. They've taken the first two games of this series and I believe they'll complete the sweep here today before the All Star Break. The Marlins have split their last ten games, but they enter having dropped three straight. I think that slide continues on Sunday. The Braves' Ian Anderson (5-4, 3.27 ERA) and the Marlins Pablo Lopez (4-5, 2.94) are evenly matched. I don't trust the Fish bullpen though. Atlanta's quietly been turning the corner over the last couple of weeks and all signs point to that progression continuing; lay the short price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Atlanta. |
|||||||
07-11-21 | Blue Jays -116 v. Rays | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* FIRST HALF BEST OF THE BEST). I like Robbie Ray and the Blue Jays to bounce back here in this final contest before the All Star break. The Jays haven't been playing their best, but after dropping the first two games of this series, I expect them to get back on track here. The home side counters with Rich Hill. These starters have similar numbers. Ray is 6-4 with a 3.36 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, while Hill is 6-3 with a 3.65 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. They're a wash for all intents and purposes. Toronto though is a near-perfect 7-1 in its last eight in trying to avenge back-to-back road losses to an opponent; lay it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
07-09-21 | A's -133 v. Rangers | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -133 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: A's (10* TRADE-MARK). The A's are off a 2-1 win at Houston last night and with what I believe to be the superior starter on the hill for them in the opener of this new series, I look for them to post another victory on the road here. Cole Irvin (6-7, 3.56 ERA) gave up four runs over seven innings while striking out five in a no-decision to the Red Sox in his last outing. Cole will be feeling confident here as he's been at his best on the road, going 4-2 with a 2.57 ERA away from friendly confines. Jordan Lyles (4-5, 4.98) looks poised for regression for sure after back-to-back victories (note that despite a 2-1 record at home, he still has a poor 5.14 ERA there.) Give me Irvin and the focussed visiting side in a rout! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oakland. |
|||||||
07-08-21 | Reds v. Brewers -108 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Brewers snapped a three-game slide with a 5-0 win over the Mets on the road last night and I expect them to carry that momentum over here. The Reds have won seven of ten, including a 5-2 victory at KC yesterday afternoon, but I believe they're going to stumble in the opener of this series. Tyler Mahle (7-3, 3.63 ERA) of the Reds and Adrian Houser (5-5, 3.94) are a "wash" in my opinion. Either could easily win on "any given Sunday." The Brewers though are 7-1 in their last eight after a shutout road victory. I look for that strong trend to continue; lay it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Milwaukee. |
|||||||
07-07-21 | Red Sox v. Angels +117 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 117 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Angels (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Angels to build off their 5-3 win here yesterday. Great value here on the undervalued home dog, with the majority of the public money on the Red Sox today. Andrew Heaney of the Angels and Eduardo Rodriguez of the Red Sox have both struggled this year. For arguments sakes, let's call them a "wash." LA is 7-2 in its last nine though as a home dog in the +115 to +125 range. Look for LA to continue its hot hitting streak and for Heaney to outduel his inconsistent counterpart; the play is LA! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Angels. |
|||||||
07-05-21 | Red Sox v. Angels -103 | 5-4 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Angels (8* MONEY-MAKER). The Angels are off a 6-5 win at Baltimore yesterday and I like them to keep the good times rolling in the opener of this series against the Red Sox, who have won nine of ten and just took two of three in Oakland over the weekend. Martin Perez (6-4, 4.04 ERA), is just 3-4 with a 5.16 ERA in all "night" games for Boston, while Jose Suarez (2-1, 1.98) will make his season debut as a starter here. Suffice it to say I expect him to make the most of it. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of great line value! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Angels. |
|||||||
07-05-21 | White Sox -110 v. Twins | Top | 5-8 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* GAME OF WEEK). No need to overthink this one. I think the talent discrepancy on the mound absolutely justifies in laying this price. Chicago's Dylan Cease (7-3, 3.75 ERA) just dominated the Twins last week, holding them to three runs over seven innings with eight K's. He'll be opposed by Bailey Ober (0-1, 5.84) who got crushed by the ChiSox opposite Cease, allowing five runs over three innings. He already has seven home runs over his short time in the majors and I expect him to struggle again here. This one has blowout written all over it; lay it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Chicago. |
|||||||
07-04-21 | Cardinals v. Rockies -150 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockies (10* TRADE-MARK). Carlos Martinez (4-9, 6.38 ERA) is coming off a strong outing, but he's been a disaster for the Cards this year, especially on the road where he's a poor 1-6 with a 7.61 ERA. German Marquez (7-6, 3.62) comes in off a complete-game one hitter against Pittsburgh on Tuesday and he's 6-1 with a 3.08 ERA here at Coors Field; this is a fantastic price on the red hot Marquez! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Rockies. |
|||||||
07-04-21 | Padres -123 v. Phillies | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
TT.M. Selection: Padres (8* MONEY-MAKER). I like the Padres to bounce back here after their 4-2 defeat here yesterday. Blake Snell (3-3, 5.29 ERA) returns from a short stint on the COVID IL. It was a precaution and he never wound up having it. In his last outing went five scoreless against the Dodgers. Snell's home and away numbers are ridiculous disproportionate (3-0 with a 1.45 ERA at home and 0-3 with a 10.53 ERA on the road) and I expect natural correction to happen sooner, rather than later. Vince Velasquez (3-2, 4.22) has been decent this year for the Phillies, but note that he's 0-1 with a 7.42 ERA in all day games this year. The Padres are also 7-2 in their last nine in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which they were held to two or less runs in; the play is San Diego! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 San Diego. |
|||||||
07-03-21 | Rays v. Blue Jays -111 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* MONEY-MAKER). Toronto broke a two-game slide with a big 11-1 win in this series opener yesterday and I think it'll find a way to get the job done here as well. Tampa hands the ball to rookie Shane McClanahan (3-2, 4.09 ERA), who gave up three runs over six innings in a win over the Angels on Saturday. McClanahan has exceeded expectations this year, but I just think he's in the wrong place at the wrong time in this one. Toronto counters with Ross Stripling (3-4, 4.27), who has quietly been dominating of late, most recently allowing two runs over five innings in a win over the Orioles on Sunday. Over his last seven outings he's now posted a 2.45 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Look for Toronto's bats to stay hot against Tampa's rookie; lay the short price, the play is the Jays! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Toronto. |
|||||||
07-01-21 | Mets -151 v. Braves | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -151 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mets (10* TRADE-MARK). After losing 20-2 here yesterday and with their hold on the NL East down to two games over the Nationals, I like the Mets to bounce-back here with their ace on the mound. Jacob deGrom is 7-2 with a 0.69 ERA and 0.53 WHIP. He's been basically unstoppable this year and after yesterday's humbling defeat, I think he'll come in focused here. The home side counters with Ian Anderson (5-4, 3.42), who has been decent of late, but who is still completely overmatched here. Also note that the Mets are 7-2 in their last nine after allowing ten or more runs in a loss in their previous outing. All things considered, a great price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 New York. |
|||||||
06-30-21 | Twins v. White Sox -123 | Top | 3-13 | Win | 100 | 15 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* PLAY-BOOK). The White Sox held on for a 7-6 win last night. I think today's game will be a little "easier" for them. And mainly because this is a massive pitching mismatch. Dylan Cease (6-3, 3.81 ERA), is coming off a commanding win over the Pirates on Wednesday, allowing two runs and striking out seven over 5.2 innings. Cease hasn't been perfect this year, but he's been damn near perfect at home, going 3-0 with a 1.65 ERA. His counterpart Bailey Ober has a 4.64 ERA after 21.1 innings this season. That sample size is just too small for me. Give me Cease at home at this great price and let the chips fall where they may! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 ChiSox. |
|||||||
06-29-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -148 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* MONEY-MAKER). I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as the deciding factor in this one. The Giants lost here 3-2 last night. They send Kevin Gausman (8-1, 1.49 ERA) to the hill to face Walker Buehler (7-1, 2.51). These guys are pretty much dead even. The Dodgers though are 7-2 in their last nine after a one run home victory in their last outing. I'm laying the reasonable price, but expecting a major blowout! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 LA. |
|||||||
06-29-21 | Marlins -106 v. Phillies | 3-4 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marlins (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). I like Trevor Rogers here in this matchup, and it's as simple as that for me on this play. Rogers (7-4, 2.08 ERA) will easily get the better of his counterpart Vince Velasquez (2-2, 4.74) who comes in off consecutive crummy outings, most recently allowing four runs over four innings in fortunate no-decision to the Nationals. Look for Rogers to continue his road dominance here and lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Marlins. |
