05-16-21 | A's +107 v. Twins | Top | 7-6 | Win | 107 | 5 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: A's (10* TRADE-MARK). The A's let a late lead slip away to the Twins last night, but I think they'll bounce back today vs. this inconsistent Minnesota side. I absolutely love Chris Bassitt (3-2, 3.54 ERA) over Kenta Maeda (2-2, 5.08) as well. Maeda gae up three runs over five innings vs. the White Sox on Tuesday and he's been consistently inconsistent all season. Bassitt on the other hand just keeps getting better with each start. He has a sharp 53 to 12 strikeout to walk ratio over 48.1 innings and he comes in off a dominant win over the Red Sox, striking out ten and givin gup two runs over seven innings. In my opinion, this is the very definition of great line value! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oakland. |

05-15-21 | Indians v. Mariners +100 | Top | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mariners (10* SHOCKER BEST OF THE BEST). The Mariners broke a five-game slide in yesterday's 7-3 series opening win vs. the Tribe, and I look for them to build and carry that momentum over here in a favorable starting pitching matchup. Justus Sheffield is just 2-3 with a 4.91 ERA for the Mariners, but he's been at his best at home, going 2-1 with a 3.89 ERA, comapred to 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA on the road. Trison McKenzie isn't anything to write home about for the Indians. That said, he comes in off a great start vs. the Royals on Thursday, going five scoreless. Previous to that he was shelled for five runs over two innings. Look for McKenzie's inconsistencies to come back and haunt him here again! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Seattle. |
|||||||
05-14-21 | Phillies v. Blue Jays -143 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -143 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). Vince Velasquez (1-0, 4.18 ERA) of the Phillies goes up against Steven Matz (5-2, 4.86) of the Jays. These starters are a "wash" right now in my opinion, although I'll give the slight nod to Matz, who has done better over a longer period of time. The Phillies are poor on the road, and in interleague contests. The Jays are four games above .500 for the first time this season. Toronto has much better bullpen. All things considered, I believe this line should definitely be a lot larger; pull the trigger, the play is the Jays! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
05-13-21 | Yankees -134 v. Rays | Top | 1-9 | Loss | -134 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankees (10* TRADE-MARK). The Yankees will have no mercy on Tampa. New York has been stifled by the Rays over the last couple of years, so it will always look to kick Tampa when it's down moving forward. After a very slow start as well, New York is finaly starting to hit its stride, as it enters having won four in a row and eight of its last ten. Tampa is trending the other way now, loser of four of its last five. Jameson Taillon (1-2, 5.02 ERA) and Rich Hill (1-1, 5.17) are a "wash" as far as the starters are concerned, but look for New York to improve upon its 7-2 record in its last nine after three or more straight vicotries in a row; great price on the red hot Yankees! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yanks. |
|||||||
05-12-21 | Cardinals v. Brewers -167 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
TM Selection: Milwaukee Brewers St. Louis took the series opener by a score of 6-1 in extra innings yesterday, so I expect the home side to respond here. The Cards are 22-14 and the Brewers are 19-17. But after four-straight wins, I think St. Louis is going to finally stumble here vs. the revenge-minded home side. John Gant walked six mets over four innings in his last start as well for the Cardinals. He's a veteran reliever, and I think he'll struggle in this difficult road venue. Brandon Woodruff counters for the home side and he's dominated the Phillies in his last start, allowing one run off tow hits with 11 K's over six innings. Bank on the Brewers bouncing big in this favorable matchup! TM Prediction: 5-2 Brewers |
|||||||
05-11-21 | Rangers v. Giants -150 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Giants (10* TRADE-MARK). San Fran has won three of four, including yesterday's game vs. the Rangers by a score of 3-1. While I do expect a few more runs to be plated this time around, I still think the value lies on the surging home side. I'm going to lay the price. Lance Webb (1-3, 5.34 ERA), is coming off a poor loss, allowing six runs over 3.2 innings to the Rockies. The start came at Coors though, as note that he's a red hot 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in three starts at home this season. Jordan Lyles (1-2, 7.09), and while he does come in off a decent outing vs. the Twins, note that he's a poor 0-1 with a 12.27 ERA at home this season. Expect Webb to bounce back in friendly confines; lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Giants. |
|||||||
05-10-21 | Reds -134 v. Pirates | Top | 14-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Reds (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Pirates managed to snap their three-game slide with a 6-5 win at Chicago, but I think they'll make an immediate return to mediocrity here. The Reds two-game streak was broken with 9-2 loss at Cleveland on Saturday. The Reds have the better in form starting pitcher in the opener of this series, and I expect that to be the difference maker. Tyler Mahle (1-1, 3.23 ERA) is coming off a poor start vs. the Cubs, giving up six runs and striking out six over six innings in a no-decision. Overall he's been sharp thoug, and so is his 41/11 K/W thus far. Mitch Keller (2-3, 6.29 ERA), enters off his best start of the season, going five scoreless vs. the Padres. Previous to that, Keller has been a complete disaster, so expect a return to the norm tonight after his most recent overachieving gem last time out. I'm laying the price, and expecting a decisive victory! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cincinnati. |
|||||||
05-09-21 | Phillies v. Braves +101 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 101 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Both teams have similar offensive and defensive numbers. Both are equally as hungry for a win here. The value lies on the home side in my opinion, based upon the struggles of Aaron Nola on the road. Nola is a much better pitcher at home, while Huscuar Ynoa has been lights out at home. Nola is 3-1 with a 2.89 ERA overall, but 1-1 with a 5.00 ERA on the road. Ynoa is 2-0 with a 1.58 ERA at home. The value lies on the home side here for sure! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Atlanta. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | Rockies v. Cardinals OVER 8 | Top | 8-9 | Win | 101 | 5 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockies/Cards OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). St. Louis won 5-0 yesterday. While that game stayed well under the number, I believe we'll see a much higher-scoring slug-fest between these two hungry clubs this afternoon. The Cardinals go with Carlos Martinez (2-4, 3.72 ERA), who went eight shutout vs. the Pirates in his last start. While he's 4-1 in 13 career appearances vs. the Rockies, he owns just a 5.57 ERA in that span. Chi Chi Gonzalez (1-0, 4.38) counters for the visiting side; he most recently was shelled for four runs off five hits over four innings in what turned out to be an 8-4 road loss to the D-Backs. Everything points to a similar final combined score here as well in my opinion; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 St. Louis. |
|||||||
05-07-21 | White Sox -149 v. Royals | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* TRADE-MARK!). The White Sox have been trading wins/losses over their last six games. Off a 1-0 loss at Cincy two days ago, I think they'll open up this new series with a victory in this favorable matchup. The Royals have lost five in a row. In their most recent three-game series loss to Cleveland they managed just 7 runs total. Carlos Rodon (4-0, 0.72 ERA) is going to have a letdown at some point for the Chi-Sox, but I don't expect that big drop off game to happen here. Brad Keller (2-3, 8.06) has been a disaster for KC. All things considered, this price should/could in fact be much larger; lay it with confidence! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Chicago. |
|||||||
05-06-21 | Blue Jays -139 v. A's | Top | 10-4 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blues Jays (10* BEST OF THE BEST). With its ace on the mound Hyun Jin Ryu, I like Toronto to build on yesterday's 9-4 victory. Ryu is 1-2 with a 2.60 ERA, and his counterpart is Mike Fiers, who is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA. Fiers is in the starting rotation out of necessity, so I'm giving a huge nod to Ryu in this matchup. And honestly, it's as simple as that for me. The Jays are hammering the baseball these days, which does not bode well for Fiers; lay the short price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
05-05-21 | Diamondbacks v. Marlins -133 | Top | 0-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Marlins (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Marlins pulled away late for a big win last night, and I expect them to keep the foot on the gas here in this favorable starting pitching matchup. The home side goes with Pablo Lopez (2-0, 2.34 ERA), who has a sharp 34 to 10 strikeout to walk ratio over 34.2 innings of work. Luke Weaver (1-2, 4.91), gave up three runs off five hits over four innings in a no-decision vs. the Rockies. His 4.99 FIP points to further regression here in this difficult park as well; all things considered, a fantastic price on the home side here! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Miami. |
|||||||
05-04-21 | Braves v. Nationals OVER 8.5 | Top | 6-1 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nationals/Braves OVER (10* MONEY-MAKER). A couple of suspect starters go head to head in this one and in my opinion, every points to a "slug-fest!" The Braves turned to Huascar Ynoa, while the Nationals go with Joe Ross. Both are actually coming off strong showings, with Ynoa going 5.1 scoreless vs. the Cubs, while Ross gave up one run over six innings in a victory over the Mets. Let's take those performances with a grain of salt though, as neither is an offensive juggernaut. These teams are in the upper half in terms of OPS and everything points to this one flying over the number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Braves. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | Mets -103 v. Phillies | Top | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 25 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mets (10* BEST OF THE BEST). The Mets broke a three-game slide with a 5-4 win last night and I think they offer great value to make it two in a row here. The visitors hand the ball to David Peterson, who comes in off a loss, despite it being his best effort of the season thus far, allowing two runs off four hits with three K's over six innings in a 2-1 loss to Boston. His ERA is undermining a very strong 21/7 K/W though and I believe he's in for a big days here vs. this inconsistent Phillies line-up. Zach Efflin is 1-1, but he comes in off his worst start of the season, allowing five runs off nine hits over six innings. Efflin has a strong 27/2 K/W, but further regression is imminent in my opinion. Bank on New York building off yesterday's win with another one here! T.M. Prediction: 5-4 New York. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Cubs v. Reds OVER 8.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Reds/Cubs OVER (10*). The Reds rolled to an 8-6 win yesterday and I expect a similar final combined score here. A couple of confirmed "gas cans" go head to head in thisone. The visitors hand the ball to the struggling Zach Davies, who has a 9.47 ERA over five appearances for his new team. The Reds counter with Luis Castillo, who has a poor 6.29 ERA over 24.1 innings of work this year. The over is 20-6-2 in the Cubs last 28 as a road dog and everything points to another slug-fest for sure here as well; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 8-7 Reds. |
|||||||
04-30-21 | Royals v. Twins OVER 8 | Top | 1-9 | Win | 100 | 27 h 41 m | Show |
T.T.M. Selection: Twins/Royals OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Royals have been playing well of late, as they've won six of their last seven. they average 4.52 RPG. Singer has been sharp, he's 1-2 with a 2.95 ERA, but regression seems imminent vs. this hungry Twins side, which finally snapped a five-game slide with a big 10-2 win over the Tribe last night. Michael Pineda has been good as well, although he comes in off a poor outing, getting shelled for five runs over 4.1 innings in a loss to the Pirates. All signs point to these two starters getting chased early; as a result, look for this one to fly well over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
04-29-21 | Yankees v. Orioles OVER 9 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -120 | 4 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yanks/Orioles OVER (10* MONEY-MAKER). The bottom line is, I don't trust either of these starters and that's why I LOVE the over in this one. Jordan Montgomery is 1-1 with a 4.57 ERA, most recently allowing three runs off four hits over four innings in a no-decision vs. the Indians on Friday for the Yankees. Jorge Lopez has been a complete disaster in the early going for the O's, as he's 1-3 with a ballooned 8.15 ERA. Look for these two to get the hook early here and for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 8-7 New York. |
|||||||
04-28-21 | Angels -127 v. Rangers | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Angels (10* MONEY-MAKER). LA won the opener 9-4, then dropped yesterday's contest 6-1. I like the Angels to get back on track here though in this favorable matchup. LA won't be taking anything for granted, as it's still only 3-6 against the division. Alex Cobb and Dane Dunning are a "wash" on the mound, so that's not a factor for me personally here. I don't trust the Rangers' offense to produce back-to-back, and note that LA is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge a road loss vs. an opponent in which it was held to one or less runs in. Great value on the superior visiting side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 LA. |
|||||||
04-27-21 | Padres -148 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -148 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Padres (10*). Neither Merrill Kelly (1-2, 7.71 ERA) of the D-Backs, nor Chris Paddack (1-2, 5.50) of the Padres have looked great this year. I'm going to call them a "wash" and take them out of the equation. I think these team's bullpens are similar as well. The Padres just took three of four from the Dodgers though, and note that they're 7-2 in their last nine after scoring eight or more runs in a victory in their last outing. I like Paddack to get back on track here and for the red hot Padres to give him more than enough support. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 San Diego. |
|||||||
04-26-21 | A's -113 v. Rays | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the A's to bounce back off their 8-1 loss to Baltimore. The Rays are off a 1-0 loss to Toronto. I absolutely love Sean Manaea (2-1, 3.04 ERA) in this matchup vs. Rich Hill (1-0, 8.82). Previous to their latest loss, the A's had won 13 in a row. Oakland will now look to quickly get back to its winning ways with the superior starter on the hill. Tampa has lost three of its last five and it's struggling with offensive consistency. It's also just 1-5 in its last six at home, while Oakland is 6-1 in its last seven on the road and 4-0 in its last four in the first game of a series. All things considered, a fantastic price here! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 A's. |
|||||||
04-25-21 | Reds v. Cardinals -114 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals (10*). After back-to-back losses to the Nationals, St. Louis comes in looking for the sweep here at home over Cincinnati. At this price, I love the Cards to do just that. At some point the Reds will get back into the winners circle, but after six straight losses, I think they'll struggle again here. Luis Castillo and Joe Flaherty are a "wash," but note that St. Louis is 7-1 in its last eight as a home favorite in the -115 to -125 range. Great value on the surging home side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cards. |
|||||||
04-24-21 | Brewers -108 v. Cubs | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Brewers (10* TRADE-MARK). Off yesterday's 15-2 loss, I like the Brewers to bounce back here. Right-hander Freddy Peralta is coming off a win over the Pirates, allowing three runs over five innings. The Cubs go with Adbert Alzolav, who is coming off a loss vs. these very Brewers, conceding four runs off four hits over five innings. The Cubs' offense has been consistently inconsistent to open this season and after yesterday's big offensive outburst, I'm calling "letdown" for sure here. The play is on Peralta and the Brewers! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Milwaukee. |
|||||||
04-23-21 | Marlins v. Giants UNDER 7 | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Marlins/Giants UNDER (10*). Miami is averaging 4.1 RPG, while San Fran is averaging 3.4. These teams limit the opposition, as Miami is fifth with a .209 batting average against, while San Fran is seventh at .215. Alcantara and Wood are primed for a big night, expect a classic "duel" to start. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 San Fran |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Diamondbacks v. Reds OVER 8.5 | Top | 14-11 | Win | 105 | 4 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: DBacks/Reds OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Taylor Widener has been superb in the early going for Arizona. He lost to Cincinnati earlier already, allowing four runs over five innings. Jeff Hoffman goes for the home side, and he's 1-4 with a 9.29 ERA in 11 career starts vs. Arizona. Hoffman has also been good in the early going for the Reds, but the sample size is still way too small here. The Reds are on the ropes early, desperate to break their three-game slide. Cincy has seen the total go over in three straight and everything points to that continuing here; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 8-7 Reds. |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Braves v. Yankees OVER 8.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yanks/Braves OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Yanks managed a 3-1 win the opener of this interleague series yesterday, but I expect a much higher-scoring contest here in Game 2. Note that NY has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 after playing to back to back unders as well. Ian Anderson and Corey Kluber have both struggled for their respective clubs this year. These line-ups have for sure underperformed to start the season, but here's the game where they each explode. These are two teams which were picked by most to compete for the World Series, but so far each has been a major disappointment. Expect a high-scoring slug-fest in this one! T.M. Prediction: 8-7 New York. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Blue Jays +105 v. Red Sox | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* MONEY-MAKER). Off a series loss to the Royals, I like the Jays to bounce-back here in the Opener of this series in Boston. Toronto has to be feeling confident as well here in handing the ball to ace Hyun-Jin Ryu, who is coming off a solid outing vs. the Yanks, going seven shutout innings, allowing four hits, one walk and posting seven K's. The Red Sox hand the ball to Eduardo Rodriguez, who also comes in off a good outing, going five innings vs. the Twins, allowing one run off five hits and three walks though. Rodriguez though is yet to be tested. Look for Ryu to easily get the better of his suspect counterpart and hammer the Jays! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Toronto. |
|||||||
04-19-21 | Brewers v. Padres UNDER 7 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Padres/Brewers UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). All signs point to a classic "duel" here between the Padres Joe Musgrove (2-1, 0.47 ERA) and the Brewers Brandon Woodruff (0-0, 2.12 ERA.) Both teams have also struggled with offensive consistency from game-to-game this year. This play is also supported by some strong stats though as well, as note that Milwaukee has seen the total go under in eight of its last 11 whne playing on no days rest and allowing six or more runs in a loss in its previous outing, while the Padres have seen the total stay below the posted number in five of their last seven after playing to back-to-back unders themselves. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Padres. |
|||||||
04-18-21 | Astros v. Mariners +111 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 111 | 7 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mariners (10* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). Houston is 7-7 and Seatlle is 9-7. The Astros have been playing terrible lately, but they broke a six-game slide with a tight 1-0 win last night. Jake Odorizzi gets the start for the visitors and he's 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA. He was called up just before his debut, so the veteran is still not even close to being in form. Seattle has been playing well overall lately. Nick Margevicius was roughed up in his last outing, but note that the Mariners are 7-2 in their last nine in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which they were shutout in. Great value on the home side! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Mariners. |
|||||||
04-17-21 | Blue Jays -105 v. Royals | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* MONEY-MAKER). Both teams are "hungry," but Toronto has the vastly better starting pitcher in this opening game and in this shortened double-header scenario, I think that's going to pay dividends for Steven Matz and the Jays. Matz is 2-0 with a 1.46 ERA and who has allowed just two runs over his first 12 innings of work. Volatile Mike Minor gets the nod for the Royals, and he's 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA, earning a no-decision in his last outing vs. the White Sox on Sunday. I love Matz in the opener of this double-header on Saturday afternoon; lay the short price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Toronto. |
|||||||
04-15-21 | Padres -1.5 v. Pirates | Top | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Diego (10* RUN-LINE MONEY-MAKER). The Padres have lost two in a row after losing by four here yesterday. Chris Paddack takes the hill for the visiting side and he's 0-1 with a 5.63 ERA so far this season. Paddack though still has an advantage over Mitch Keller here in my opinion (1-1, 4.50). It's still too early to draw any conclusions on either pitcher, but note that Pittsburgh is just 2-7 in its last nine after back-to-back victories. I like Paddack to finally get on track here and for the hungrier side to finally deliver; lay the 1.5 runs, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Padres. |
|||||||
04-13-21 | Mariners +130 v. Orioles | Top | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mariners (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). This game was postponed yesterday. Seattle enters having won two in a row though, most recently an 8-6 victory at Minnesota. The Orioles lost 14-9 to Boston in their most recent action. Seattle averages 4.12 RPG. Justus Sheffield is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA for the Mariners, while Dean Kremer is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA for the Orioles. These young starters are a "wash." Despite dropping Sheffield's first start of the year though, note that the M's are 4-1 in his last five starts. Baltimore on the other hand is now 0-4 in Kremer's last four starts. Great value on the "hotter" team; the play is the Mariners! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners. |
|||||||
04-11-21 | Padres -155 v. Rangers | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Padres (10* MONEY-MAKER). Adrian Morejon (0-0, 4.50 ERA) gets the call for the Padres, and I think he'll have more than enough in the tank to get the better of the erratic Mike Foltynewicz (0-1, 9.00.) San Diego has won two of its last three, and despite having some injury issues to some sluggers, its still has the better and more potent hitting lineup. Texas has lost six in a row in this series. The Rangers hitting has been decent, but starting pitching is their issue. The Rangers are also just 1-5 in their last six interleague home games, while the Padres are 9-0 in their last nine interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. All things considered, I believe this line could/should in fact be much larger; the play is the Padres! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Padres. |
|||||||
04-09-21 | A's +1.5 v. Astros | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: A's RUN LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). Oakland's 1-7. Houston is 6-1. Clearly the A's are the hungrier dog in this fight, but in a contest which I see being competitive, maybe even decided in extra innins, I'm going to lay the price and grab the 1.5 runs and the A's on the RUN LINE. If Oakland loses by 1 run, we're still going to win our bet. Both Manaea and McCullers Jr. struggled in their repsective openers, making the starters a wash. Oakland' line-up has been drastically underperforming and I expect that trend to end here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oakland. |
|||||||
04-08-21 | A's v. Astros -144 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Astros (10* MONEY-MAKER). Houston rolled over the A's in four straight on the road to open the season. Christian Javier got roughed up in his opener vs. the A's, but Cole Irvin was destroyed by Houston. I expect a similar outcome here as well. The A's are coming off their first win of the year, a 4-3 OT win at home over the Dodgers and they absolutely looked primed for an immediate letdown on the road here after that emotional "monkey off the back." All things considered, I do indeed believe that this line could/should in fact be much larger; lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Houston. |

04-07-21 | Diamondbacks v. Rockies OVER 11.5 | Top | 0-8 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockies/DBacks OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Madison Bumgarner is old. He's coming off a poor 2020 and he was bad in Spring. He is also coming off a terrible opening start againt the Padres, allowing six earned runs and thre walks over four innings (13.50 ERA). While he's had success against the Rockies in the past, clearly that was then, and this is now. Antonio Senzatela is coming off a crummy opening start, which is uncharacterisitc. Still, until he can prove that he's gotten things under control, I believe all signs point to these two volatile starters getting the hook early, which will in turn help in driving this total well over the number at the end of the night; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: 10-8 Colorado. |
|||||||
04-04-21 | White Sox v. Angels -124 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Angels (10* SITUATIONAL MONEY-MAKER). The Angels have won two of the first three in this series. The White Sox are picked by many to advance far into the playoffs, if not contend for a World Series title, but so far they have been overrated to this point. The Angels feature just as much hitting potential, if not even greater in the line-up. These teams are more even than what many are trying to lead us to beleive. I think Cease and Ohtani are a wash, but note that LA is 7-2 in its last nine home games after holding its previous opponent to three runs or less. Great value on the red hot home side in this one! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 LA. |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Indians -159 v. Tigers | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -159 | 5 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Indians lost their opener here two nights ago 3-2. I think they'll bounce back though with Zach Plesac on the hill. Plesac was dominant last year, going 4-2 with a 2.28 ERA and 57 strikeouts. He was also 2-0 with a 0.51 ERA and 14 strikeouts against Detroit. The home side counters with the volatile Julio Teheran, who was 0-4 with a 10.05 ERA for the Angels last year. Teheran is off a decent Spring, but I still give Plesac the huge nod in this matchup. This line could/should in fact be a lot larger in my opinion; lay it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Tribe. |
|||||||
04-01-21 | Indians -1.5 v. Tigers | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -118 | 28 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians -1.5 (10* RUN-LINE GAME OF THE WEEK). The Indians got rid of a bunch of players in the off-season and added a couple new faces. Detroit comes in with a young pitching staff and hitting line-up. This is a major mismatch on the mound. Shane Bieber was 8-1 with a 1.63 ERA and 122 K's with 21 walks last year. Matt Boyd was terrible last season, going just 3-7 with a ballooned 6.71 ERA for the Tigers last year. Detroit is also a putrid 25-68 in its last 93 at home, while Cleveland is 37-14 in its last 51 as a road favorite. The Indians not only win here, they win BIG! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Tribe. |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Marlins v. Cardinals -140 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -140 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Jack Flaherty will look to shake off an up-and-down spring in his final home tune-up before the real thing. He allowed three earned runs to the Marlins last time out, while also striking out five. Sandy Alcantara is expect to start for Miami and he's been great in the Spring, but he'll be on a short leash here. Advantage St. Louis! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
10-27-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -150 | 35 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). This has been an interesting series and I'm predicting that it'll go one more game. Tampa finished ten games ahead of the next closest competitor in the American League and I'm not convinced at all that the Dodgers are the better team in this fight. And certainly Tampa has to be liking its chances today by sending its ace to the mound in Blake Snell. Snell will face Tony Gonsolin, who may only see one inning before making way for a slew of bullpen pitchers. Note that LA is just 1-5 in its last six playoff games as a favorite in the -110 to -150 range and only 1-4 in Gonsolin's last five starts as a favorite, while Tampa is 5-0 in Snell's last five starts and 5-0 in its last five after scoring five runs or less in its previous outing. Pay the price, grab the extra 1.5 runs just in case! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. |
|||||||
10-25-20 | Dodgers v. Rays UNDER 8 | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I had a play on the Dodgers in Game 4 and while that was an unfortunate setback, I look to bounce back here in this important Game 5 matchup. It's been each team's dynamic offenses which have been in the spotlight in the early going, but I expect a classic pitchers duel here between Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw (who gave up only one run and had eight K's in the Game 1 victory) and the Rays' Tyler Glasnow (who gave up four runs in the Game 1 loss, but who previously was arguably the hottest starter in the playoffs up to that point.) Tampa has also seen the total go under in eight of its last 11 after scoring eight or more runs in a victory in its previous outing. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-24-20 | Dodgers -164 v. Rays | Top | 7-8 | Loss | -164 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers (10* GAME OF MONTH). I had the Dodgers in Game 1, the Rays in Game 2 and then the Dodgers in Game 3. I like LA to once again find a way to get the job done in Game 4 as well. Jose Urias and Ryan Yarbrough are a "wash" in this contest, but LA's dynamic hitting line-up is the difference here. The Dodgers are also 4-0 in their last four interleague contest vs. clubs with winning records. The Rays are going to have to turn to their bullpen early and I can't see it holding up to this hard-hitting Dodgers line-up. Look for Urias to get the win here! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-23-20 | Dodgers -155 v. Rays | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 37 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* TRADE-MARK). I like the Dodgers to bounce back in Game 2. Walker Buehler has been fantastic for LA during the playoffs. So too has Charlie Morton for the Rays. The difference maker for me though lies in the stats/trends today, as note that the Dodgers are 7-2 in their last nine after a loss and a day off. I'm banking on LA's hitting depth to be the difference once it's all said and done. Great value on the Dodgers in Game 3! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-21-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I had a play on the Dodgers on the run line in Game 1 and that provided a small plus-money return. In Game 2 though, I'm going to suggest laying this reasonable mid-sized price for the extra 1.5 runs in our back pocket. Blake Snell has arguably been the best pitcher in the AL over the last two years and he's already had to face the power hitting lineup of the Yankees all season. Snell brings veteran leadership and poise to this moment and after four straight victories, I think the Dodgers finally come back down to Earth here. Note as well that the LA is just 2-5 in its last seven after a four runs or greater victory in which it scored seven or more runs in. I'm laying the price for the 1.5 runs, but I would NOT be shocked by the straight up victory either! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. |
|||||||
10-20-20 | Rays v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 110 | 29 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* RUN-LINE GAME OF WEEK). If you're watching and wagering on this game, then you know the story lines. I don't think I need to tell you the strengths and weaknesses of each team. So if you want a "recap" of how these teams got here, or who is playing what position, or what the batting percentage or ERA of a player is, there's lots of places you can go to get that basic information. I'm here to tell you WHY the Dodgers are going to win Game 1. But, not only win it, but win it BIG time. I like Clayton Kershaw in this matchup against Tyler Glasnow. Kershaw had one hiccup in his performance last time out, but overall he's been fantastic this season and in the playoffs. I think his veteran presence will be the difference for LA and I expect it to pull away for a comfortable cover and victory in Game 1! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-18-20 | Braves v. Dodgers -139 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* TRADE-MARK). The Dodgers have all the momentum after the Game 6 victory and I believe they'll figure out a way to complete the come back after going down 3-1 to start. Ian Anderson has been incredible in the playoffs for the Braves, but I don't see him having that much of an advantage over Dodgers' projected starter Tony Gonsolin. Whoever gets the start for LA, I think the Dodgers' deep bullpen will help in delivering the goods here as well. Jansen has been great closing out games for the Dodgers as well. Sorry ATL, you had your chance and blew it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-16-20 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Braves | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (10* RUN-LINE BANKROLL BUILDER). With their season on the line and with the vastly superior starting pitcher on the hill for them, I like the Dodgers to find a way to win here. But not only win, win BIG! Dustin May was 3-1 with a 2.57 ERA in ten starts this year for LA. In three appearances in the playoffs, spanning 4.1 innings, May has allone just one hit. The Braves turn to their bullpen to get the job done by committee, but I think that strategy will fail. Look for the NL champs to bounce back again here with another convincing victory. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-15-20 | Dodgers v. Braves UNDER 9 | Top | 2-10 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF THE BEST). After two straight overs, I expect this Game 4 total to stay well under the number. Wow, 11 runs in the top of the first inning for the Dodgers in Game 3! LA wasn't fooling around! After scoring 18 runs in Game 3 though, this Game 4 matchup absolutely sets up as a lower-scoring affair. Clayton Kershaw has been great for the Dodgers in the playoffs, going 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA so far. The Braves will start with Bryse Wilson on the mound and while he posted a 1.13 ERA over eight innings in two starts in teh regular season, the Braves are fully expecting to move to their bullpen very early. Atlanta has seen the total go under in eight of its last 12 after allowing 12 or more runs in a loss to an opponent as well. This one has "duel" written all over it; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-14-20 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Braves | Top | 15-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers RUN LINE (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Enough is enough! The Dodgers haven't lost three games in a row all year and I don't expect that to happen here. Kyle Wright has been great in the playoffs so far, but so too has Julio Urias for the Dodgers. These starting pitchers are even, although Urias has more experience at this level and that does definitely work in favor of LA here. LA was down big and rallied to pull close, but it eventually fell 8-7 in Game 2. Look for the Dodgers to finally get back on track here and lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-13-20 | Braves v. Dodgers UNDER 8 | Top | 8-7 | Loss | -111 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). The reason I like the under here? Simple, the starting pitchers. I look for these two studs to battle deep and ultimately I expect that will help in driving this total well under the number once it's all said and done. Ian Anderson was 3-2 with a 1.95 ERA in six starts in the regular season for the Braves and he has so far pitched 11.2 scoreless innings in the playoffs. The Braves' bullpen has given up just one run over 23.1 innings and posted a 0.39 ERA in the process. Dodgers' starter Tony Gonsolin made ten regular season starts and posted a 2.31 ERA and 0.84 WHIP along with 46K's to just seven walks over 46 2/3's innings of work. This one has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. |

10-12-20 | Braves +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves RUN LINE (8* MONEY-MAKER). Honestly, it wouldn't be difficult to write a convincing argument for either team. The Dodgers have met all expectations to this point and anything short of a World Series will be a major disappointment. The Braves have also met expectations, as they enter as the No. 2 team in the NL. Both starters are sharp tonight and enter in good form. Both teams have awesome bullpens and strong and experienced hitting line-ups. This really is one of those series where it's an "any given Sunday" type of thing. Either team could easily win, they just have to step up here and do it. In Game 1 though I think these starters will take center stage and battle deep and in a contest like that, I think the value swings to the dog. Just in case though, I'm going to lay the price for the extra insurance. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Braves. |

10-12-20 | Astros +1.5 v. Rays | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -160 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston RUN-LINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Astros uncharacteristically made base running mistakes yesterday and they also left ten men on base. Houston struggled against the lefty Snell, but now it faces the right Morton. Morton has been terrible vs. Houston throughout his career (4-6, 6.28 ERA lifetime), while Lance McCullers Jr. has been decent against the Rays (1-2, 3.79). Houston has the experience to bounce back here and I think it has a legitimate shot at taking this one outright. However, let's lay the price for the 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Astros. |
|||||||
10-11-20 | Astros +136 v. Rays | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Astros (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). The bottom line on this one is I think that the Astros' Framber Valdez will be able to match the Rays' Blake Snell inning for inning to open Game 1. Houston has been the better team offensively and I think that's going to matter in Game 1. Note as well that the Astros are 8-0 in their last eight as an underdog and 42-10 in their last 52 following an off day. I love getting the "plus money" here on this undervalued underdog! T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Astros. |
|||||||
10-08-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Yankees | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -157 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays RUN LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). The Rays dominated this series in the regular season and they now have a 2-1 lead in this playoff series as well after an 8-4 win on Wednesday. Tampa goes with relief pitcher Ryan Thompson to start this one, he finished 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA in the regular season, but he'll be on a short leash and make way for the bullpen pretty quickly. So far the Tampa pitching staff has posted a 3.80 collective ERA in the playoffs. Besides, New York starter Jordan Montgomery was just 2-3 with a 5.11 ERA in the regular season. And in six career starts vs. the Rays he's an even worse 1-2 with a 5.14 ERA. New York hasn't pitched well in this series and I think it'll be letdown by the mound again tonight. Lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Tampa. |

10-07-20 | Marlins v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves RUN LINE (10* TOP PAY-OUT PLAY!) The Fish had a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning, but Atlanta won Game 1 by a score of 9-5. Miami's bullpen is trash and the Braves' is elite. These two starting pitchers faced off in September and while Pablo Lopez did get the win in that game (4-2,) Anderson's numbers were better after the regular season ended. The Braves' bats were stymied early in Game 1, but then the entire line-up started to rake. Expect that trend to carry over in Game 2 and expect a complete lop-sided blowout from start to finish. The play is the Braves on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. |
|||||||
10-06-20 | Padres v. Dodgers UNDER 8.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 30 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Padres UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). There's no love loss between these clubs. LA won six of ten in the regular season series. Walker Buehler gets the start in Game 1 for the Dodgers and he's pitched just twice since September, but he did go four innings in the wild-card round vs. the Brewers. Zach Davies was 4-2 with a 3.03 ERA in the regular season, but he got knocked around hard by the Cards in the wildcard round, allowing four runs over two innings, fortunate to escape with a no-decision. Those types of outings have been few and far between for the veteran though and there's no reason not to think he won't be considerably better here. Note as well that San Diego has seen the total dip under the number in five of its last six after three or more days of rest. This number is high, play on the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-05-20 | Astros +1.5 v. A's | Top | 10-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Astros RUN LINE (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Chris Bassitt did great in the regular season and was fantastic in his lone wildcard start last week. He also had success vs. the Astros in the regular season. Lance McCullers Jr. though has plenty of experience at this level and he has a major advantage here in having not thrown since September 26th. I think McCullers can easily match Bassitt inning for inning and in a scenario like that, I love the underdog. Especially this experienced Astros hitting line-up, that overwhelmed the Twins completely in the Wildcard round. The A's needed all three to advance. Grab the 1.5 runs, but don't be shocked by an outright upset either! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Houston. |

10-02-20 | Marlins v. Cubs -1.5 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cubs RUN LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). This game was postponed due to rain yesterday. Miami won Game 1, but I like the home side to bounce back here and deliver. I think the delay benefits the home side, as the players are able to adapt easier. I love Yu Darvish as well. Darvish finished with a 2.01 ERA and while he's struggled in the past in the playoffs, his current form leads me to believe that he's about to shake off those past troubles. This is a dream matchup facing the Marlins, who continue to over-achieve. Sixto Sanchez has been good in his limited time for the Fish, but clearly he's in unchartered territory here. I expect Chicago to not only win this game, but I expect it to win BIG. Lay the 1.5 runs! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cubs. |
|||||||
10-01-20 | Reds v. Braves -128 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves (10* MONEY-MAKER). With a chance to move into the bubble format in LA, I like the Braves to dig deep here and eliminate Cincinnati. I'll call Castillo and Anderson a "wash" here. The Braves prevailed in 13 innings last night, but I expect the home side's line-up to be much better this time around, as note that ATL is 7-2 in its last nine after scoring one or less runs in a home victory in its previous outing. This line is way out of whack. The Reds are in over their head here. Lay the price, expect a blowout from start to finish! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Braves. |

09-29-20 | Yankees -102 v. Indians | Top | 12-3 | Win | 100 | 29 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankees (10* TRADE-MARK). As good as Shane Bieber has been this year, I think he and Yanks' starter Gerrit Cole are a "wash" here. Bieber has been unbelievable, but honestly it wouldn't be too difficult to write a convincing argument for either one. Look at this line, clearly the oddsmakers also think these teams are completely evenly matched and that the "home field" is not an advantage whatsoever. But New York has its sluggers back in the line-up and I think they're ready to tear the cover off the ball here. While the Yanks did struggle at times in the regular season, expect them to finally live up to expectations now that the playoffs are here! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yankees. |
|||||||
09-26-20 | Cubs v. White Sox -135 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 25 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). After six straight losses, I think the White Sox are going to bounce back here finally in the second to last regular season game of the year. The White Sox trail the Twins by a 1/2 game now and are tied with the Indians with two to go for the division title. The Cubs won't be rolling over, but starter Lester owns a pedestrian 4.91 ERA lifetime vs. the White Sox. Dane Dunning is 2-0 with a 3.19 ERA and clearly the rookie won't be lacking for motivation here. I think Chicago finally finds a way to break the streak as it looks to head into the playoffs on a high-note. Lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 White Sox. |
|||||||
09-25-20 | Reds v. Twins -1.5 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins RUN LINE (10* MONEY-MAKER). Each team enjoyed a day off on Thursday and each has major playoff implications surrounding this final series of the regular season. Tyler Mahle is 2-2 with a 3.57 ERA for the Reds and he's been sharp of late, but I still give a big nod to the Twins' Jose Berrios, who is 4-2 with a 3.72 ERA overall this year and who is 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA in four September starts with 22 strikeouts and just six walks over 22 innings of work. The Twins have a slim lead in the AL Central, so I expect them to put the foot on the gas here; the play is the home side on the run line! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Minnesota. |
|||||||
09-25-20 | Red Sox v. Braves OVER 10.5 | Top | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Red Sox OVER (10* TOTAL UPPER-DECK). Boston won't be playing in the post-season, but it's gotten hot at the end of the season. The Braves are still trying to lock down the No. 2 spot in the NL, so this is an important game and series as well for them. And guess what?! Two gas can starters head to the hill here in Boston's Chris Mazza, who is 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA and Kyle Wright, who is 2-4 with a 5.74 ERA. Finally note that the Braves have in fact seen the total soar over the number in 11 of their last 17 interleague road games when the total is set between 10.5 and 11. This number is a tad low! T.M. Prediction: 7-5 Braves. |
|||||||
09-24-20 | White Sox v. Indians -115 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 23 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Thee two teams are moving in opposite directions. The White Sox have lost four straight and they've now lost their grip on the division lead, sitting a 1/2 game back of Minnesota. The Indians have clinched a playoff spot, but the momentum they've been riding has been crazy (off back-to-back walk off extra inning victories over the ChiSox). These starting pitchers are both great, so I deem them to be equal here. Note though that Chicago is a disastrously poor 1-6 in its last seven as a road underdog in the +101 to +127 range. Considering the circumstances, I think this is the very definition of "great line value."Â T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. |
|||||||
09-23-20 | Orioles v. Red Sox -158 | Top | 1-9 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston (10* MONEY-MAKER). Boston rolled to an 8-3 victory yesterday and while it won't be in the playoffs, it's still trying to close out on a positive note. I like the home side to lay the hammer down here as well in this favorable matchup. Over the last five games Boston's starters have combined for a 1.04 ERA. Nate Eovaldi is 3-2 with a 4.25 ERA this season and 5-1 with a 4.61 ERA in 11 career starts vs. the O's. Baltimore goes with rookie Dean Kremer, who is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA, but clearly the sample size is much too small and regression would seem imminent with these sparkling early numbers unsustainable over the long-term. The stage is set for a beatdown, so lay the price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Red Sox. |

09-22-20 | Rays -127 v. Mets | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -127 | 26 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rays (10* BEST OF THE BEST). The Rays won 2-1 last night and I think they'll find a way to get the job done here as well. Tampa wants to keep the foot on the gas with the Yanks breathing down its neck. And with a tough three-game series at home against the Phillies to end the season, Tampa does not have the luxury to relax whatsoever. Blake Snell is 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA and I give him a big nod over his counterpart Seth Lugo, who is 2-3 with a 4.34 ERA. Lugo most recently was shelled for six runs off eight hits over one inning against the Phillies on Thursday. Lay the reasonable price, but expect a massive blowout! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Rays. |
|||||||
09-21-20 | White Sox v. Indians +101 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 101 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Indians have won three of their last four and they need to continue to win basically every game moving forward if they have any hopes at getting included into the field of eight playoff teams in the AL this year. Aaron Civale is 3-5 with a 3.80 ERA and he won't be lacking for motivation for the Tribe, as he's posted an 0-3 record over his last five trips to the hill. Dane Dunning (2-0, 2.33) has been excellent in his limited time for the White Sox, who are in race to the finish line as well. The White Sox are coming off a series loss in Cincinnati vs. a desperate Reds team and I expect the same to happen here vs. this hungry Indians club. Great value on Cleveland tonight! T.M.

09-20-20 | White Sox v. Reds -103 | Top | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Reds (10* MONEY-MAKER). The White Sox have clinched a spot in the playoffs. The Reds won their sixth straight game in yesterday's 7-1 win and I don't expect them to take the foot off the gas here with the finish line in sight. Dylan Cease is 5-2 with a 3.20 ERA for Chicago, I simply feel he's in the wrong place at the wrong time here. The Reds are 26-26 and they go with Michael Lorenzon, who is 2-1 with a 4.16 ERA. The Reds though are 6-0 in their last six vs. right-handed pitching and 5-0 in their last five at home, while the Sox are just 1-2 in Cease's last three road starts. Look for the hungry home dog to deliver the goods! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cincinnati. |

09-19-20 | Blue Jays -141 v. Phillies | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -141 | 25 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* HOME RUN CLUB). This a "no brainer" in my opinion. The Jays are FOR SURE the hungrier "dog" in this fight. They're the favorite, but they should be a much bigger one here. Hyun-Jin Ryu has been fantastic for the Jays so far this year and he's had a lot of success vs. the Phillies throughout his career. Vince Velasquez is have a terrible season for Philadelphia and he has a 5.46 ERA over two career outings vs. Toronto. The Blue Jays were just swept in New York and they lost both games of yesterday's double-header and I think they'll come out completely focussed on the task at hand. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value!"Â T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
09-18-20 | Indians -1.5 v. Tigers | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians RUN LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). The Indians got back on track with a 10-3 win in this series opener and with their playoff hopes on the line once again, I'm expecting a similar final outcome here as well. And because of that, I'm going to lay the 1.5 runs for the much more reasonable price. Zach Plesac is 3-2 with a 2.20 ERA for the Indians, while Michael Fulmer is a disastrous 0-2 with a 9.27 ERA for the Tigers. Considering the massive talent discrepancy and current form of these starting pitchers, I definitely love this hungry visiting to lay a severe whooping on this overmatched home side! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Indians. |
|||||||
09-17-20 | Indians v. Tigers OVER 7.5 | Top | 10-3 | Win | 107 | 27 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians/Tigers OVER (10*) The Indians have lost eight straight and they're coming off another low-scoring loss at the Cubs just last night. Clearly this is a "do or die" series for the Tribe and while their ace Shane Bieber is likely going to dominate here, I think that Tigers' rookie starter Casey Mize, who is winless over his first six stars with a 5.85 ERA, will get the hook early in this one. Look for this one to fly WAY OVER once it's all said and done! T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Indians. |
|||||||
09-17-20 | Blue Jays +1.5 v. Yankees | Top | 7-10 | Loss | -101 | 24 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays RUN LINE (10*). Yes Chase Anderson and the Blue Jays have been struggling of late, but I think that Toronto will dig deep here and deliver the goods in the finale. The Yanks have the first two games of this series and are on quite the roll, but regression does seem imminent. Note as well that Toronto is 7-2 in its last nine after two straight road losses. Just in case, I'll grab the extra 1.5 runs of insurance! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
09-16-20 | Diamondbacks v. Angels OVER 9 | Top | 9-6 | Win | 100 | 30 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Angels/D-Backs over (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Yesterday's series opener blasted past the posted number in the D-Backs 9-8 victory and I think a similar final combined score is in the cards in the second between these clubs on Wednesday night. The visitors go with Caleb Smith, who is 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA and who gave up one run over three innings in his debut vs. Seattle last week. Smith has always shown promise, but I think the larger workload here isn't going to help his peripherals one bit. Angels starter Dylan Bundy is 5-2 with a 2.48 ERA and he's been one of the lone bright spots for the Angels this season. That said I find it interesting to note that the Angels have seen the total go over the number in ten of their last 16 after allowing nine or more runs in a one run loss to an opponent at home in their previous outing. This number is a little, let's hammer the over! T.M. Prediction: 10-6 Angels. |
|||||||
09-16-20 | Mets -125 v. Phillies | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 27 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mets (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Phillies won yesterday's series opener, but after dropping four straight, I like the visitors to bounce back here with ace Jacob deGrom on the mound. Wheeler's been great this season, but so too has deGrom. deGrom is also 8-1 with a 2.16 ERA in 16 starts vs. the Phillies lifetime. Several key sluggers will be out for the home side today and I expect that to finally "catch up" to it this evening. Look for New York to capatalize! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mets. |
|||||||
09-15-20 | Indians +135 v. Cubs | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH). I like the Tribe to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night here. Cleveland is now in third place in the AL Central, but it still has a shot at the playoffs. Chicago sits atop the NL Central, so the pressure is off the Cubs right now. I think this'll be the difference maker in the opener of this interleague series. Yu Darvish is 7-2 with a 1.77 ERA this year for the Cubs and it's difficult to say anything negative about his bounce back season, but regression at some point does seem imminent. Also note that he's 1-3 with a 4.12 ERA in six career appearances vs. the Tribe. Carlos Carrasco didn't fare well in his only start vs. the Cubs, but note that Cleveland is 7-2 in its last nine interleague road games as an underdog in the +135 to +155 range. This one has "upset" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. |
|||||||
09-15-20 | Blue Jays +150 v. Yankees | Top | 6-20 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* BEAST). Toronto took two of three from New York last week at home and I think it'll find a way to get the job done here as well. Toronto sends Taijuan Walker to the mound and I'll give him the slight nod over his counterpart Deivi Garcia. Garcia was sharp against the Jays last week, but the rookie has still only thrown in three big league contests and now that Toronto has gotten a good look at him, I believe that'll be the difference maker in the end. Great value on the hard-hitting visiting side! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
09-14-20 | Twins -115 v. White Sox | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Twins (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). It's Jose Berrios of the Twins vs. Dylan Cease of the White Sox. Berrios if 4-3 with a 4.40 ERA, while Cease is 5-2 with a 3.33 ERA. Minnesota though has a 4-2 edge over the White Sox in the seeason series and I think it'll find a way to get the job done here in the opener of this important set on Monday night. Both teams are on fire at the plate, but note that Berrios is an amazing 12-2 with a 2.69 ERA in 16 stars vs. the Sox, while Cease is 0-2 with a 16.71 ERA in two career outings vs. the Twins. Look for Minnesota to come out on top at the end of this one! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Reds v. Cardinals -104 | Top | 10-5 | Loss | -104 | 21 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: St. Louis Cardinals (10* SITUATIONAL BEST OF THE BEST). The Cards look to build off yesterday's 7-1 victory. St. Louis has now won six of nine in the season series and after splitting the first two of this one, I like the home side to dig deep here. Carlos Martinez is 0-2 with a 12.27 ERA for the Cards. Martinez made his first start since having Covid and allowed four runs over 3 2/3's innings in a 7-3 loss to the Twins last time out. Martinez has big a upside and the track record and pedigree to return to form and that's what I'm definitely expecting here. Tyler Mahle is 1-2 with a 3.89 ERA for Cincinnati. Mahle has been decent over his last three starts, but note that he's 1-3 with a 5.11 ERA in seven career starts vs. the Cardinals. Look for St. Louis to lay the hammer down in the finale of this important late-season series! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cards. |
|||||||
09-12-20 | Angels v. Rockies -125 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockies (10* TRADE-MARK). The Rockies broke a three-game slide with an 8-4 win in the opener of this series. The Angels had been on a win streak previous to that, but I think they'll predictably stumble again here. Colorado definitely has the superior starting pitcher on the mound tonight in Kyle Freeland, who is 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA. Freeland went six scoreless vs. the Friars on Monday and I expect the veteran to carry that momentum over here. Jaime Barria (0-0, 3.65) allowed three runs over five innings in a no-decision vs. the Astros last time out. The 24 year-old Angels' starter bounced around last season and finished with a sub-par 4-10, 6.42 ERA and I think regression is imminent in this difficult road venue. Considering the advantage Colorado has in this starting pitcher matchup, I have no issues at all laying what I feel to be a very reasonable price. And that's the play, the Rockies to do it again on Saturday night! T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Colorado. |
|||||||
09-11-20 | Braves v. Nationals OVER 10.5 | Top | 7-8 | Win | 100 | 25 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nats/Braves OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH). The Braves are tearing the cover off the ball right now. ATL came from behind to win 7-6 last night and I think an even bigger combined score is in the cards for Friday's contest. And that's because a couple of confirmed "gas cans" are squaring off against each other. The Braves Josh Tomlin has actually been decent, as he's 2-2 with a 3.77 ERA. It's interesting to note thought that ATL has had 25 games in which its starter has completed four or fewer innings. The Nats counter with Erick Fedde, who is 1-3 with a 5.29 ERA and who is 0-1 with a 17.36 ERA in three career appearances vs. the Braves. And note that ATL has seen the total go over the number in eight of its last 11 after scoring 7 or more runs in its previous outing, while also winning by a single run. This number is low, expect another slug-fest! T.M. Prediction: 9-7 Atlanta. |
|||||||
09-10-20 | Angels v. Rangers +171 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rangers (10* SITUATIONAL MATCHMAKER). Dylan Bundy has been a bright spot for the beleagured Angels this year and it's difficult to say too many negative things about him. I simply feel that he's in the wrong place at the wrong time in this one. Kyle Gibson hasn't been great for the Rangers this season, but he owns a respectable 3-3, 4.16 ERA in 11 career starts vs. the Angels. Neither team will be in the post-season, but I like the Rangers to build off their 7-3 win last night and keep the foot on the gas in the finale of this three-game set between bottom feeders! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Rangers. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Yankees v. Blue Jays +120 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10*). I like the Jays to dig deep here and complete the three-game sweep of the Yanks. New York turns to a rookie starter in Deivi Garcia, who is a decent 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA. The Jays go with veteran Tanner Roark, who is 2-1 with a 5.74 ERA, but who owns a sharp 3.65 ERA in two career starts vs. the Evil Empire. New York is injured and reeling and Toronto is playing its best ball of the year. I love getting PLUS MONEY in this one! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
09-09-20 | Royals v. Indians UNDER 8.5 | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 27 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tribe/Royals UNDER (10*). While yesterday's game sailed well over the number, I expect more of a "duel" on Wednesday. The Royals turn to Danny Duffy, who is 2-3 with a 4.83 ERA, while the home side goes with Carlos Carrasco, who is 2-3 with a 3.43 ERA. Carrasco has to be feeling confident today as he's 12-7 with a 3.86 ERA in 26 career appearances vs. the Royals, including striking out ten over six frames on July 26th. Duffy faced the Tribe on July 24th and allowed two runs over five innings in the 2-0 setback. Expect these two starters to battle deep and look for this one to stay well UNDER once it's all said and done! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Indians. |
|||||||
09-08-20 | Yankees v. Blue Jays -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). EVERY team is "desperate" to make the playoffs. The Yanks have lost four straight, but the fact that they're "hungry" to get off the schneid doesn't matter in my opinion, as this New York line-up continues to be plagued by key injuries. The starting pitching has been poor as well and while JA Happ has had success against his former team in the past, that was then and this is now. Toronto's Taijuan Walker has been a rock since he was aquired from the Mariners and I believe he's a "wash" here with his counterpart. The Jays though are on fire offensively and I don't see anything changing here in this favorable matchup. I'm laying the short price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
09-07-20 | Royals v. Indians -1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians RUN-LINE (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Brad Keller is 3-1 with a 1.93 ERA for the Royals and it's difficult to say anything negative about the hard-throwing right-hander, I simply feel that he's in the wrong place at the wrong time here. Zach Plesac is 2-1 with a 1.33 ERA for the Indians and he's 4-0 with a 1.98 ERA in five career starts vs. the Royals. The Tribe a 1/2 game behind the Twins, so look for them to make the most of this opportunity. I'm laying the 1.5 runs for the small plus money return! T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Indians. |
|||||||
09-06-20 | Rockies v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 7-6 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers (RUN-LINE TRADE-MARK). Off a 5-2 loss on Saturday, I think the Dodgers are going to easily bounce back and in blowout fashion to close out this series. In fact, the talent gap on the mound between these starting pitchers is so vast, that I'm going to lay the 1.5 runs for the pick em price, as I expect this one to be lop-sided in nature once it's all said and done. Ryan Castellani is 1-2 with a 4.81 ERA for the Rockies, while Jose Urias is 3-0 with a 3.27 ERA for the Dodgers. Castellani comes in on just three days rest as awell after a 26 pitch relief outing. I think this one sets up well for Urias and I look for him to make the most of it. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Dodgers (RUN LINE). |
|||||||
09-05-20 | Reds -128 v. Pirates | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Reds (10* HOME-RUN CRUSHER). These teams split a double header yesterday, but I think that this particular contest favors the visiting side. Cincinatti turns to Anthony DeSclafani, who is 1-2 with a 7.01 ERA. He most recently allowed seven runs over three innings in a blowout loss to the Cardinals. It was his first start back from paternity leave though and I think he'll settle back down here (note that he owned a 2.89 ERA post All Star break in 2019). Trevor Williams counters for Pitt and he's 1-5 with a 5.50 ERA. He most recenlty allowed five runs in a loss to the Brewers on Monday. Last year Williams was an unremarkable 7-9 with a 5.38 ERA overall and I expect this confirmed "gas can" to get the hook again early today. Expect the hungry Reds to take advantage! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Reds. |
|||||||
09-04-20 | Brewers v. Indians -136 | Top | 7-1 | Loss | -136 | 26 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indians (10* HOME RUN CLUB). I think the Tribe are well worth the price of admission in this matchup. The Indians have won two in a row and 13 of their last 18 and with both the Twins and ChiSox breathing down their necks, they can ill afford to lay off the gas vs. this potentially dangerous interleague opponent. Corbin Burnes is 1-0 with a 2.78 ERA for Milwaukee and while he does come off a dominant performance over the Pirates, doing the same thing vs. this red hot home side is going to be considerably more difficult. Frankly, I think he's poised for a letdown here. Carlos Carrasco is 2-3 with a 3.75 ERA for the Indians and he's won both of his career starts vs. the Brewers, posting a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP in the process. Lay the price, expect a home side blowout! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Indians. |
|||||||
09-03-20 | Blue Jays -121 v. Red Sox | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 28 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* DESTROYER). Toronto is playing well. The Jays starting pitching has been decent, their bullpen play has been decent and their sluggers have come a long way since last season. Would they truly contend over a 160 game season? I'm not sure about that, but we're already just a few weeks away from the playoffs, which means that Toronto will be putting the hammer down each and every night. The Jays would be in the postseason if the playoffs started today. The Red Sox won't be in the playoffs. Boston is injured. The Red Sox have gotten terrible starting pitching, poor bullpen play and inconsistent production at the plate. Taijuan Walker is 3-2 with a 4.00 ERA after allowing four hits and striking out four over six scoreless vs. the Orioles on Saturday in a win for the Jays and I expect the newcomer to also "keep the pedal to the metal." Boston's Martin Perez is 2-3 with a 3.45 ERA, but he owns a 4.58 ERA and 1.27 WHIP as a starter. I'm giving Walker the big nod in this matchup and the Jays' line-up as well and that's going to be more than enough to tip the scales in their favor here. Lay it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
09-02-20 | Rangers v. Astros -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Astros RUN LINE (10* DOMINATOR). The massive talent discrepancy on the mound justifies in laying the 1.5 runs for the "pick em" price. Kolby Allard is 0-3 with a 8.32 ERA, most recently allowing two runs over 5.1 innings in a loss to the A's on Wednesday. Allard for the most part has been terrible and I believe he'll struggle in this difficult road venue. Cristian Javier is 3-1 with a 3.55 ERA and he most recently earned a win over the Angels on Tuesday by allowing three runs over six innings with five K's. Over 31 innings of work Javier has a sharp 31/11 K/W and he's the difference maker for me in this selection! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Houston. |
|||||||
09-01-20 | Blue Jays -110 v. Marlins | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Blue Jays look to start a new win streak after finally falling to the Orioles at "home" yesterday afternoon. Toronto is expected to start Julian Merryweather today and he's 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA after dazzling in his first appearance vs. the Red Sox on August 26th, striking out three over two scoreless frames. Elieser Hernandez has been decent as well for Miami, but I think that the Jays' power hitters are going to feast in this park and during this series. All signs point to a winner of the "rocking chair" variety! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-31-20 | Rays v. Yankees -136 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -136 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). The Yanks are dealing with injury issues to sluggers, but they just took three straight over the Mets and with their ace on the monund, I like them to deliver the goods here vs. the AL East leading Rays. Tampa goes with Tyler Glasnow, who is 1-1 with a poor 5.14 ERA. He comes in off a win over the Orioles, but I think he's in the wrong place at the wrong time in this one. Cole is 4-1 with a 3.51 ERA and 0.81 WHIP. Cole comes in off his worst start in a long time, allowing three homers in a setback to the Braves. Starts like that have been few and far between for Cole though, who was brought to New York to dominate. Now Cole has a big chance to do just that at home vs. the division leader. I like Cole to be the main focal point of this contest and I think he's well worth the price of admission in this one! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yanks. |
|||||||
08-30-20 | Dodgers v. Rangers UNDER 9.5 | Top | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rangers/Dodgers UNDER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). While yesterday's game flew well above the posted number, I expect more of a duel in the finale of this interleague series. Tony Gonsolin is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and it's not because he hasn't played, it's because he's thrown 14.2 scoreless innings so far this season for the Dodgers, posting a 12/2 K/W in the process. I love Gonsolin to continue his progression here. Kyle Gibson is 1-2 with a 4.73 ERA so far and he'll be eager to return to form here after getting shelled for the A's in his last start (note though that Gibson is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in three starts vs. NL teams this year.) Additionally note that Texas has seen the total go under the number in eight of its last 12 after allowing seven or more runs in a home loss in its last outing. This number is a little high! T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Dodgers. |
|||||||
08-29-20 | Indians v. Cardinals -119 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -119 | 17 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals (10* MONEY-MAKER). I love the home side to bounce back this afternoon after yesterday's humbling 14-2 setback. The visitors go with the shaky Carlos Carrasco, who is 2-3 with a 4.50 ERA and who has failed to go more than 4 1/3's innings in his last three starts, allowing 16 hits, nine walks and ten runs in that span. Jack Flaherty though is 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA for St. Louis and after St. Louis comes in having dropped three straight, I believe he's going to help his team back into the win column. Most recently Flaherty comes in off five scoreless vs. the Royals. And finally note, St. Louis is 7-2 in its last nine after allowing ten or more runs in a loss in its last outing. Everything points to a swift response form the home side this afternoon! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cardinals. |
|||||||
08-28-20 | Royals v. White Sox -140 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: White Sox (10* TRADE-MARK). Reynaldo Lopez is 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA, but he enters off his best start of the year vs. the Cubs last Saturday, allowing two earned runs over 3.1 innings. Fortunately for Lopez he faces the anemic Royals and his line-up is red hot right now, leading the AL in home runs. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value!" Lay it! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 White Sox. |
|||||||
08-27-20 | Pirates v. Cardinals UNDER 7 | Top | 4-3 | Push | 0 | 5 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cards/Pirates UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Pittsburgh comes in off a 10-3 loss to the White Sox yesterday afternoon, while St. Louis had the day off. This is a make up game for an earlier postponement. The Cards have to be feeling confident here with Kwang Hyun Kim, who is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA so far. Kim threw six shutout innings in a 3-0 win over the Reds on Saturday. Cody Ponce gets the nod for the Pirates and he's 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA. Ponce makes his first start of the year here, but he's reportedly look great the Pirates' alternate training site. I have a hard time seeing the offensively challenged visiting side mustering much offense here, this number is too high! T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Cards. |
|||||||
08-26-20 | Yankees +105 v. Braves | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankees (10* TRADE-MARK). This is the second game of the double-header and it will feature New York's Masahario Tanaka vs. Atlanta's Max Fried. Tanaka is 0-1 with a 4.60 ERA and Fried is 4-0 with a 1.32 ERA. Tanaka is throwing on seven days rest and he's posted double-digit victories for The Evil Empire over his first six campaigns for them. Fried has been fantastic, but he now faces a next to fully healthy Yanks' line-up, with Aaron Judge back in slugging as well. I think Fried's numbers are unsustainable here and I like Tanaka to bounce back after a rough outing last time out vs. the Rays. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yanks. |
|||||||
08-25-20 | Rockies v. Diamondbacks UNDER 9.5 | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: D-Backs/Rockies UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). The Rockies enter off a 3-2 win last night and I think another low-scoring "under" is in the cards on Tuesday night as well. German Marquez is 2-4 with a 4.38 ERA and he comes in off a very uncharacteristicly poor start, getting rocked for ten earned runs off ten hits over five innings vs. the Astros on Thursday. It was one of the worst starts of his career and I'm not reading too much into it. Alex Young is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA for the Diamondbacks and he so far has nine K's over eight innings of work as a starters. With "Mad-Bum" still injured, Young has an opportunity to further showcase his potential and I expect him to make the most of it. This number is high, I'm hammering the under! T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Arizona. |
|||||||
08-25-20 | Red Sox v. Blue Jays -118 | Top | 9-7 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* DESTROYER). Toronto comes in off a big win in Tampa and I like it to keep the momentum rolling here. Boston is just 9-20 and even after having Monday off, I think the Red Sox are in trouble here. I also give a big nod to Chase Anderson in this matchup, who is 0-0 with a 2.79 ERA and eager to earn his first win for his new club. His counterpart is Kyle Hart, who is 0-1 with an 11.12 ERA. Note that Hart has allowed seven walks over just 5 2/3's innings in his first two major league starts. I love Anderson to go deep into the latter frames and for Toronto to dominate from start to finish! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |

08-24-20 | A's v. Rangers +130 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 130 | 28 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Oakland is 20-9 and has the best record in the AL at the halfway point of the season. The A's head to Texas for a four game series and I think they'll suffer a classic letdown here vs. the Rangers' "ace." Lance Lynn is 3-0 with a 1.37 ERA and he most recently enters off a no-decision to the Padres on Wednesday, allowing tow runs and striking out six over seven innings. Jesus Luzardo (2-0, 3.67) went six scoreless vs. the D-Backs in his last outing, but note that the A's are just 2-7 in their last nine following an extra innings home victory in its previous outing (won 5-4 in ten frames over the Angels on Sunday.) I expect Lynn to be the focal point of this contest! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Rangers. |
