04-09-23 | Reds v. Phillies -168 | 6-4 | Loss | -168 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies - ML Connor Overton (0-0, 11.25 ERA) vs. Taijuan Walker (0-1, 8.31 ERA) I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Yesterday, in their come from behind victory, the Phillies were absolutely shut down all game long. However, the three run bottom of the ninth should give them plenty of confidence heading into the final game of this series. When things like that happen in baseball, it could spark a massive run. Walker has been a very solid starter throughout the entirety of his career. His numbers don't look too good this year, but he's only started one game and he's going to be a lot more locked in here. Overton didn't have a great first game either. Expect an easy Phillies win en route to a PHI series sweep. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Phillies. Line: -172 Line Parameter: play until -199.. |

04-08-23 | Cardinals -136 v. Brewers | Top | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: St. Louis Cardinals - ML Jordan Montgomery (1-0, 5.40 ERA) vs. Eric Lauer (1-0, 3.38 ERA) I like the St. Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. St. Louis needs to win this series to gain their confidence back. In the second game of this series, I fully believe that they will dominate throughout. Montgomery is a very solid starter. With a career ERA under four, I expect him to go deep in this game. Although the brewers have been hitting well, I don't think that it will last long as their lineup isn't all that great. Lauer hasn't been good against the Cards either in his career. In seven appearances (six starts,) Lauer is just 2-3 with a whopping ERA of 6.46. Those include his last two starts, which were definitely not strong. Give me the Cardinals in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Cards. Line: -134 Line Parameter: play until -166.. |

04-08-23 | Reds v. Phillies -133 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies - ML Nick Lodolo (1-0, 3.60 ERA) vs. Bailey Falter (0-1, 3.38 ERA) I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. Off yesterday's win, the Phillies are looking to get hot as they started the season poorly. This is the perfect opportunity for them to steal a few games to edge back closer to .500 against one of the weaker opponents in the NL. The Reds are decent, but the Phillies are definitely more talented. With ten hits yesterday, I expect PHI to build onto that here today and win easily. T.M. Prediction: 9-2 Phillies. Line: -134 Line Parameter: play until -155.. |

04-08-23 | Astros +105 v. Twins | Top | 6-9 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - ML Luis Garcia (0-1, 5.40 ERA) vs. Joe Ryan (1-0, 1.50 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. The defending champs are not getting the respect they deserve with these lines in this series. I know that the Twins are a solid baseball team, but the Astros lineup is just as good, if not better than last year. As an underdog for the second consecutive game, I believe that Houston will be able to make us more $$. Luis Garcia didn't have the greatest opening game, but he's dominated the Twins in the past. In four starts, he owns a 3-1 record with a 2.66 ERA and two shutout performances. On the other hand, Joe Ryan is 0-1 against the Astros, giving up four runs in four innings in his only start. I expect a bounce back game from Garcia here as he should be more settled than he was in his opening game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Astros. Line: +100 Line Parameter: play until -140.. |

04-07-23 | White Sox -130 v. Pirates | Top | 9-13 | Loss | -130 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: CWS - ML Lucas Giolito (0-0, 3.60 ERA) vs. Rich Hill (0-1, 5.40 ERA) I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The Pirates just shocked Red Sox fans by sweeping them at Fenway. However, I'm still not buying it. The Pirates are projected to have a bad year by most people and I am one of them. I know that the White Sox have some injuries that they are dealing with right now, but they still on the superior lineup. I expect a big game from Luis Robert, who absolutely destroys left handed pitchers. Give me the White Sox at the low price. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 White Sox. Line: -115 Line Parameter: play until -150.. |

04-07-23 | Mariners +113 v. Guardians | 5-3 | Win | 113 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - ML Logan Gilbert (0-1, 1.50 ERA) vs. Aaron Civale (1-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. These two pitchers matched up with each other in the first series of the year. In that one, Civale out played Gilbert by just enough. Gilbert ended up going six innings while giving up just a run and striking out seven. Now, when the offense doesn't get you any runs, it's hard to win. This time, I'm expecting the bats to be alive as they've had more than a few games to get settled in. Let's not forget how good Gilbert was last season. Prior to that game earlier this season, the Mariners were a perfect 8-0 in their last eight games with Gilbert on the mound against teams from the AL Central. The Guardians are well coached, but they don't really have the power to pull away. They may get a few runs again, but with the Mariners looking for a much needed win, I'm backing them this afternoon. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Mariners. Line: +107 Line Parameter: play until -125.. |

04-06-23 | Red Sox -134 v. Tigers | Top | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox - ML Chris Sale (0-0, 21.00 ERA) vs. Spencer Turnbull (0-1, 27.00 ERA) I like the Boston Red Sox to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. After getting swept at home against the Pirates, I believe that Alex Cora will get his team ready for this series against the Tigers. Detroit actually played well in their last series against the Astros as they won two games to one. However, I don't believe that they have it in them to keep this up all season long. Sale used to be one of the best and I know that he is capable. Turnbull has never really shown greatness. I've backing the lefty here today. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Red Sox. Line: -144 Line Parameter: play until -180.. |

04-05-23 | Blue Jays -1.5 v. Royals | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays - Run Line Alek Manoah (0.0, 13.50 ERA) vs. Zack Greinke (0-1, 3.38 ERA) I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Toronto looked very good in their much needed win yesterday against these Royals. Now, they'll turn back to their ace to take the series had into Thursday. Manoah has been dominant for a few years now and I don't see him having back to back poor performances to start the season. Greinke has been hit around by some of these Jays before and I believe that he could be in for a rough outing. Expect a blowout in the night game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. Line: -1.5, -105 Line Parameter: play until -1.5, -130 (can play ML..) |

04-05-23 | Giants v. White Sox -133 | Top | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 5 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox - ML Logan Webb (0-1, 6.00 ERA) vs. Dylan Cease (0-0, 1.42 ERA) I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the San Fransisco Giants on Wednesday. Neither one of these teams have started great, but there is still lots of season left. I believe that the White Sox could possibly be a sleeper team with some of this talent. I love watching them, especially the likes of Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert Jr, Yoan Moncada and Tim Anderson. Dylan Cease is one of, if not the best pitcher in baseball right now too. He's dominant and there's no team that can really hit him. Against this weaker than previous years' lineup of the Giants, I've got the White Sox winning this game quite easily. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 White Sox. Line: -129 Line Parameter: play until -150.. |

04-05-23 | Phillies +1.5 v. Yankees | 2-4 | Loss | -159 | 4 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies - Run Line Aaron Nola (0-0, 12.27 ERA) @ Gerrit Cole (1-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the New York Yankees on Wednesday. You may look at the stats from the first games of these two pitchers and think I'm an idiot. However, I'm here to tell you that the Phillies are for real and they are just getting started. Let's not forget, this team made the World Series last year. I know they are without Harper right now and that Hoskins is out for the season. But, they've brought in one of my favorite players in all of baseball in Trae Turner. Scharwber finally got in the HR department in yesterday's game, one which he owned last year, and I expect him to bring that momentum into this one. Facing a power fastball pitcher in Cole, I expect the Phillies to get to him and get to him early. Nola didn't have the best opening pitching performance, but without a loss on his name, this is basically a fresh start. He's also pitched very well against the Yankees in the past. Cole is a good pitcher, but he gets rocked from time to time. I believe that this will be one of those times. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Phillies. Line: +1.5, -165 Line Parameter: play until +1.5, -190 (can play ML..) |

04-04-23 | Angels v. Mariners -163 | 2-11 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - ML Jose Suarez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Luis Castillo (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. LAA definitely has some talent, and maybe even the best two players on the planet right now, but the Mariners will be coming to dominate in this one. Castillo is the Mariners ace. He's already pitched this season and he looked great. The Mariners are a team that could make some noise this season in the playoffs. With the addition of Teo Hernandez, I believe that they've got a shot. Looking at this matchup, they do not want to lose back to back series' to start the season. I believe that behind Castillo, the M's will provide quality at bats and that will lead to this victory. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mariners. Line: -158 Line Parameter: play until -200.. |
|||||||
04-04-23 | Tigers v. Astros -1.5 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - RL Matt Manning (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Framber Valdez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. Valdez got the nod in the opener. Although they ended up losing that game, Valdez looked very strong, as he did throughout last season. He went toe to toe with last year's Cy Young runner up in Dylan Cease. Now, I don't exactly like playing against a team that has struggled as bad as the Tigers as I believe that they could get everything together real fast, but this is a complete mismatch from the hitting to the pitching. Manning is solid, but is nowhere near the level of Valdez. Manning allowed a .300 OBP to lefties last season and .320 the year prior. Houston's got some deadly lefties including Yordan Alvarez. Expect a destruction in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Astros. Line: -1.5, -130 Line Parameter: play until -1.5, -175.. |
|||||||
04-04-23 | Blue Jays -161 v. Royals | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays - ML Yusei Kikuchi (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Kris Bubic (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. If spring was any indicator for success, I believe that Yusei Kikuchi could be in for a bounce back season this year. His numbers last season were definitely below average, but his spring stats were phenomenal this year. On the other hand, Bubic had even worse numbers than Kikuchi last season. This Jays team has already shown that they can provide runs, even without the long ball clicking. It's just a matter of time before the bombs start to fly. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Jays. Line: -149 Line Parameter: play until -190.. |

04-03-23 | Cubs -117 v. Reds | 6-7 | Loss | -117 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Cubs - ML Drew Smyly (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Connor Overton (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Chicago Cubs to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Although the Reds currently own the better record, I fully believe that the Cubs own the better squad in this matchup. CHC will turn to Smyly, a capable lefty, who I believe will be quite solid against the Reds. I mean, the Red don't have much. They barely beat the Pirates, possibly the worst team in the league, and I don't think they'll have much success this series. Overton hasn't pitched much in the Majors. Expect the veteran filled lineup to eat here today. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Cubs. Line: -116 Line Parameter: play until -150.. |
|||||||
04-03-23 | Mets +112 v. Brewers | Top | 0-10 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets - ML Carlos Carrasco (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Freddy Peralta (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the New York Mets to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. You may think that Carrasco is getting old and won't be as capable. But, last year, he was actually very strong. With his 15-7 record, he owned an ERA under four. He's 2-1 in his career against the Brewers and should have no problem here. In fact, this is the perfect opening matchup for him. The Milwaukee lineup is poor and they are coming off a big game. On the other hand, Peralta is just decent. He went 4-4 last season and wasn't really that strong. In his one start against the Mets, he may have won, but he gave up 4 ERs in just 5.1 innings pitched. The Mets are definitely the better team in this matchup and I believe they own the better pitcher. At plus money, this was an easy selection. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mets. Line: +106 Line Parameter: play until -140.. |

04-02-23 | Diamondbacks v. Dodgers OVER 8.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: ARI @ LAD - OVER Zach Davies (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Noah Syndergaard (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I am on the OVER in the Arizona Diamondbacks @ Los Angeles Dodgers game on Sunday. Although I typically like UNDER's more than OVER's at beginning of a new season, I believe that this one has all the makings of an OVER. Syndergaard has taken a few steps back from his day of dominance at NYM. This will be his first game apart of the Dodgers organization and I believe that this Backs roster will be ready for him. Last season in day games, he did not do well. In 10 innings, he allowed 8ERs and 16 base hits. On the other hand, Davies did not fare well against the Dodgers last year. He failed to grab a win in five appearances. Expect lots of hits in this one with runs flowing in left and right. T.M. Prediction: 8-5 Dodgers. Line: O/U 8.5, -120 Line Parameter: play until 9.0, -110.. |

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

04-02-23 | Orioles v. Red Sox UNDER 9 | 5-9 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: BAL @ BOS - UNDER Cole Irvin (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Tanner Houck (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I am on the UNDER in the Baltimore Orioles @ Boston Red Sox game on Sunday. Like mentioned in one of my other write-ups, I love playing UNDER's at the start of the year. The batters are still warming up and the pitchers look to get a head start. In this series, both of the first two meetings have featured a bunch of runs. The regular guy might see that and ride the OVER. However, this is the perfect spot to see a pitchers duel in a matchup between two teams that are determined to have good seasons. Irvin has a career 2.00 ERA against the Red Sox. On the other hand, Houck owns a dominant 1.84 ERA against the Orioles. We have some new faces on both sides this season, but I expect both pitchers to come into this game feeling extra confident. I've got a lower scoring game here this afternoon. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Orioles. Line: O/U 9.5, -120 Line Parameter: play until 9.0, -115.. |

04-01-23 | Twins v. Royals UNDER 8.5 | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: MIN @ KC - UNDER Sonny Gray (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Jordan Lyles (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I am on the UNDER in the Minnesota Twins @ Kansas City Royals game on Saturday. Traditionally, I tend to play more UNDER's than OVER's to start the season. That is exactly the case here. Although the pitchers might not be entirely strong, they are both more than capable and these lineups are not exactly explosive. Last season, the Twins were much better than the Royals. However, this season I believe that Minnesota will take a step back and the Royals might gain a step or two. Sonny Gray owned a pretty strong 3.09 ERA last year in 24 appearances. Lyles was a tad worse with a 4.42 ERA, but I'm expecting a much better season here for the 32yr old righty. This game should move along pretty quickly. Getting the UNDER at + money is too much to pass up. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Royals. Line: O/U 8.5, +102 Line Parameter: play until 8.5, -130.. |

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

04-01-23 | Braves -1.5 v. Nationals | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves - Run Line Spencer Strider (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Josiah Gray (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. Although it's early in the season, it's pretty easy to see who's the better side in this series. The braves pulled away late in the Opener, winning 7-5. Now, with a game under their belt, I expect the Braves to explode even more. Last season with the Nationals, Gary posted a 5.02 ERA. Although that was his best season of his career so far, it's not by any means any good. Strider was dominant last season. He went 11-5 with a 2.67 ERA and came on to become the Braves ace for most of the year. He should be coming into this year very confident and I'm expecting another fantastic season from the 24yr old. This is a mismatch and I've got the Braves winning big. T.M. Prediction: 9-2 Braves. Line: -1.5, -145 Line Parameter: play until -1.5, -185.. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins - Run Line David Peterson (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Jesus Luzardo (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the New York Mets on Friday. Even though I'm very high on the Mets this season, the Marlins match up very well with them. The Edwin Diaz injury really hurts the Mets in the long run and I don't think that their bullpen is nearly as talented anymore. Miami was competitive in the opener, but look to avoid losing the second game in a row here. Luzardo has some nasty stuff and I expect all things to come together for him this season. Miami also finally has a pretty solid hitting lineup. Jazz Chisholm didn't do anything yesterday, but expect him to showcase his ability here today. Give me the Marlins at home + the extra run. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Marlins. Line: +1.5, -168 Line Parameter: play until +1.5, -210.. |

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

T.M. Selection: MIL @ CHC - UNDER Corbin Burnes (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Marcus Stroman (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I am on the UNDER in the Milwaukee Brewers @ Chicago Cubs game on Thursday. It's “Opening Day” and I'm expecting some early jitters from these players. It will be a cold afternoon at Wrigley and neither teams have a great lineup. The Cubs have gotten a tad better, but the Brewers still have very weak hitting. On the flip side, both pitchers are very capable, especially Burnes. Burnes was dominant last season and gave his team a chance to win every game. Expect a low scoring affair to open the season up. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Brewers. Line: O/U 7.5, -113 Line Parameter: play until 7 -120.. |

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

T.M. Selection: St. Louis Cardinals - ML I like the St. Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. St. Louis is coming off an absolutely horrendous performance. I mean it was 24-1 against the defending champs .. However, it's Spring and anything can happen. Today, they'll take on the Baltimore Orioles, a game that they should be able to bounce back. Let's not forget that the are still 16-7 this spring. Give me STL here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Cards. Line: +100 Line Parameter: play until -130.. |

T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves - ML I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. This one is a mismatch. I know it's Spring Training still, but the Braves should win this game easily. Detroit has lost four games in a row. Atlanta has won four games in a row. Matt Manning has not been very good this spring as he owns a 9.00 ERA through 10 innings. Expect the Braves to knock him out of the game early en route to a blowout. T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Braves.

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

T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays - ML Pitching Matchup: Kevin Gausman @ Michael Lorenzen I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. While Spring Training gets older, we're beginning to see the starting pitchers get older. Now, I know I've been focussing a bit more on the WBC. However, I've continued to watch spring very carefully. Lorenzen hasn't been very strong. Even though he doesn't have a loss to his name yet, he's got a 4.91 ERA and is throwing way too many hittable balls. The Blue Jays are going to want to strike early after being shut out on Sunday.

T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays - ML I like the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Although some of the players are now gone and will be participating in the WBC, I believe that the Jays have the more superior talent in this matchup. The Jays have already beaten them this spring and the Pirates have looked very shaky with their 2-6-2 record. Expect Toronto to dominate this game. T.M.

T.M. Selection: New York Mets - ML I like the New York Mets to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Sunday. I know that the Cards have looked good in Spring Training so far, but I believe that the Mets are coming to play in this one. Kodai Senga will get the nod for NYM. He dominated in Japan and should get some very quality innings here. Verlander played three innings in their last game and I wouldn't be surprised if Senga saw three as well here. Expect a Mets victory with the pitching leading the charge. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Mets. Line: -105 Line Parameter: play until -129.. |

I expect the Angels to be better this season, as long as Rendon stays healthy and their pitching is improved. However, the Dodgers will still be the more superior side and I expect them to actually try in this first battle of LA in 2023. Give me LAD here. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Dodgers.

With Corbin Burnes on the mound, the Brewers should get at least two shutout innings early. Texas also hasn't been playing too much of their projected starters so I think the Milwaukee will be able to take advantage of that here. T.M. Prediction: 10-3 Brewers.

T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays - ML I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. I know the starting pitchers don't really mean anything in Spring Training as they only go like 2-3 innings max. However, I believe that with McClanahan on the mound, the Rays should be able to jump off to an early lead and keep it throughout this game. The Rays bullpen is very talented as well. Take the Rays as a “mini underdog” here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Rays. Line: +111 Line Parameter: play until -140.. |

T.M. Selection: Colorado Rockies - ML I like the Colorado Rockies to win this game against the Oakland A's on Monday. Both of these two teams enter this game with a 2-0 record. Although the A''s pitching has looked good so far, they've yet to face a team like the Rockies who are used to lightning the score up at their home in Colorado. Now, spring training is different than regular season for sure. But I believe that the Rockies own the deeper squad and can grab their third straight win to start the 2023 Spring Training. T.M.

Although Miami has a few young guns that could deal some damage in this game, Houston has the better overall lineup and squad. Houston's pitching has looked very strong in their first two games, while Miami's has not. Miami is already 0-2 and I expect them to drop to 0-3 after today's game. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Astros.

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

T.M. Selection: Astros -1.5 I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Off yesterday's 7-0 loss, the Astros look to bounce back in Game 4 to even the series back up. Javier will get the start for Houston, who dominated in his last start against the Yankees. On the other hand, Nola will start once again of the Phillies. Although they won game 1, Nola got rocked and gave up 5 runs in just 4.1 innings. I'm expecting a big game from the Astros who came into this series as the favorite. Give me Houston, -1.5 as I expect a bunch of runs from the 2017 champs in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. |

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

T.M. Selection: Padres -1.5 I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. With the day off on Thursday, both teams will have a rested bullpen in this game. Joe Musgrove has been lights out for the Padres this October, as he's only allowed three earned runs in his last 35 innings pitched. For the Phillies, they have been pretty lucky all playoffs so far that their bats have been lighting up the scoreboard. With the Padres' ace on the mound in this game, I expect them to have a bit of trouble finding that scoreboard on this one. Expect SD to grab their home field advantage back in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Padres. |

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

10-14-22 | Guardians +140 v. Yankees | 4-2 | Win | 140 | 18 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the New York Yankees on Friday. The Yankees won Game 1, 4-1 on Tuesday. After the game was supposed to be played yesterday, they'll play Game 2 on Friday in what is an extremely important game for both teams. As a road underdog this season, the Guardians were one of three teams that actually had a winning record. Shane Bieber (13-8, 2.88 ERA,) who's already pitched this postseason, will start for Cleveland in this one. He absolutely dominated the Rays in a 2-1 win last Friday. In that game he went 7.2 innings while giving up just three hits, one run and striking out 8. If he does that again in Game 2, the Guardians have a really good shot. Nestor Cortes (12-4, 2.44 ERA,) who popped on the scene this season, has been very good this season. There isn't too much bad stuff to say about him other than he will make his first career postseason start here. I expect this strong Guardians lineup to make solid contact to show him how they do it, but for this to be a very close game 2. Give me the Guards. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Guardians |

10-12-22 | Phillies v. Braves -123 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 29 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Off a huge Game 1 loss to open up the series, the Braves will need to bounce back with a win here in Game 2. They have got to treat this like an elimination game, because if they don't they'll have to win both games in Philly to survive. Kyle Wright (21-5, 3.19 ERA) has been dominant this season for Atlanta. He hasn't lost a game since July, and his record is one of the best in the majors. The last time he faced this Phillies team, he went 7 innings while giving up just 1 earned run on 3 hits in a 4-1 win. On the other hand, the Phillies will have Zack Wheeler (12-7, 2.82 ERA) pitching for them. Wheeler has also been very reliable as of late, but I expect the Braves to crack him open here in this one. Expect the Braves fans to help them in this crucial Game 2. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves. |

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

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

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

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

T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers -1.5 I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. The Dodgers have been one of the best teams in baseball all season long, and I don't expect that to change here as they look to finish their season off on a high note. With just two games left in the regular season, LA sits firmly in the driver seat of the National League right now. They've secured home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Today, they'll have one of their many great pitchers on the mound in Julio Urias (17-1, 2.12 ERA.) Urias has been tremendous, just like last season. After his last start, that saw him go 6 innings, in a 0 run performance, he now has the NL's lowest ERA. Julio hasn't allowed more than 2 runs in 13 straight starts. For the Rockies, they'll have Ryan Feltner (3-9, 6.01 ERA) starting for them in this one. Feltner is off a game where he allowed 5 earned runs in just 6 innings against the Giants. He's been pretty bad on the road as well as he's allowed 26 earned runs in his last 7 outings on the road. Knowing that the Dodgers have already lost in this series to the Rockies, I don't expect that to happen again on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers |

T.M. Selection: NY Yankees/Bal Orioles OVER I am on the OVER in the New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles game on Sunday. Aaron Judge wants it to be only his record and the pitchers know it. Every single at bat will have the fans on their feet, in his last game in the Bronx this regular season. Both of these pitchers aren't the greatest here either. Kyle Bradish (4-7, 5.11 ERA) for Baltimore, and Chi Chi Gonzales (0-1, 6.87 ERA) for New York. Bradish got absolutely rocked last time out, and Gonzales allows runs every single outing. In Bradish's last start against the Yankees, he gave up 8 hits in 4.1 innings while allowing 4 earned runs as well. Give me the OVER in this offensive battle on Sunday. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Yankees. |

T.M. Selection: KC Royals/Cleveland Guardians OVER I am on the OVER in the Kansas City Royals vs Cleveland Guardians game on Saturday. Cleveland, who has already clinched their division, is looking to finish the year off strong. Off yesterday's 6-3 win, the Guardians have now scored at least 4 runs in 9 of their last 11 games. Zach Please (3-11, 4.39 ERA) will start for them in this one. He's coming off a hand injury, that might hurt him slightly. In his last 5 starts, Please has allowed 17 earned runs. In his last start against the Royals, he went 5 innings and gave up 4 runs (3 earned.) For KC, they'll have one of their worst pitchers starting this one as well in Kris Bubic (2-13, 5.81 ERA.) In his last 8 starts, he's given up 32 earned runs. That's an average of 4 per game and he's never pitched over 6.1 innings in that span. Give me the OVER here on Saturday in a game that has runs written all over it. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Guardians |

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

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

09-27-22 | Rockies v. Giants -175 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 22 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. Off Sunday's 3-2 win against the DBacks, the Giants come into this game on a nice little 5-1 run their last 6 games. These teams met last week in Colorado, where the Giants swept them four games to none. Now, we'll be in Cali, where the Giants are 39-36. Note that the Rockies are just 24-48 on the road this season as well. Logan Webb (14-9, 2.93 ERA) has been pretty good once again this year. He may not have an insane record, but he's been deadly at times, especially in his last outing. Against the Rockies, in his last start, he gave up just a single hit in five and one third of an inning in a 6-1 win last Wednesday. For the Rockies, they'll have German Marquez (8-12, 5.15 ERA) on the mound, who was the opposite pitcher to Webb in that game. Marquez has now given up 14 earned runs in his last three starts. I'm expecting San Fran to come away with another win, giving the pitching matchup here on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Giants |

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

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

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

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

Sitting on 60 HRs, he's looking to pass Roger Maris, which would be an incredible accomplishment. Gerrit Cole (12-7, 3.41 ERA) will start for the Yankees here on Friday. He's been good for most pitchers all year, but not up to his standards. As he looks to pick up his game just in time for the playoffs, this could be a very big momentum boost for the Yankees ace. Now looking at the Red Sox, they'll have Rich Hill (7-7, 4.70 ERA) on the mound. He's been ok all season but hasn't really fared well lately. He's allowed 13 earned runs in his last 4 starts and has yet to see this stacked New York squad this season. I'm expecting a Judge homer to tie Maris, and a Yankees win here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Yankees |

09-22-22 | Mariners -1.5 v. A's | Top | 9-5 | Win | 100 | 21 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners -1.5 I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. Seattle was a bit shook after the 4-1 loss to these A's to open up the series (I had Oakland.) Now, on Thursday, they'll have a much better pitching matchup for them to use to their advantage. George Kirby (7-4, 2.98 ERA) will start for the Mariners here in this one. He's been stellar as of late, as he hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 5 straight starts (4ER total.) In his last outing against Oakland, Kirby went 7 innings, while giving up just 1 run in an easy win. The time before that, he pitched 6 shutout innings against the A's. On the other hand, Oakland has been pretty awful all year. Other than a few of their players, they are pretty much a joke. Adrian Martinez (4-5, 5.77 ERA) has been one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball lately. In his last 2 starts, he's went 8.2 IP, while giving up 18 hits, 11 earned runs and 5 homers. His last time against Seattle, he went 4.2 innings while giving up 7 runs in an 8-6 loss. Expect the Mariners to smoke this guy once again here today. Lay the points as well. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Mariners |

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

09-20-22 | Mariners v. A's +1.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 105 | 21 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland A's +1.5 I like the Oakland Athletics to win the game against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. These two teams will meet for a fifth time this season in a big series for Seattle. The Mariners, who are trying extremely hard to get the best wildcard spot in the American League, have been struggling a bit as of late. They sit at 81-65, which would clinch them a spot, but not the spot they are hoping for. Luis Castillo (7-5, 2.68 ERA) will take the mound here in this matchup against Oakland. He's been really strong all season, but struggled a bit against the A's in his only meeting against them last month. In 5 innings, he gave up 8 hits and allowed 4 earned runs in a 5-3 loss. That happened to be against JP Sears (5-2, 3.90 ERA,) who will get the start as well in this game. Sears also pitched 5 innings in that outing, but only gave up 1 ER in the win. Today, the A's look to build off what they were able to accomplish against Seattle in their last series and steal one at home on Tuesday. Give me Sears +1.5 runs in this one. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 A's |

09-19-22 | Diamondbacks +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: D-Backs runline. The Dodgers return hom as NL West Champs to open up an eight-game session at home and I'm expecting a bit of a letdown here. The Dodgers earned their title witha 4-0 win over the D-Backs on Tuesday. Arizona is out for revenge here with its ace on the mound Merrill Kelly, who is 12-6 with a 3.01 ERA. Surprisingly he's out for revenge as well here, as he's 0-8 in 11 lifetime starts vs. LA with a 5.81 ERA. The home side counters with Clayton Kershaw, who is 8-3 with a 2.44 ERA. He's been great, and has enjoyed plenty of success against Arizona in the past, but the bottom line is here that I believe Kelly can match him inning for inning. This is a tough LA line-up, but the stage is set for a bit of a mental letdown here. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Arizona. |

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

09-15-22 | Reds v. Cardinals -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -130 | 23 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. The Cardinals are off a 4-1 win against the Brewers yesterday. They've been one of the best teams in the Major's all year long, and are looking to end the season off with dominance. In the first game of a new series, the Cardinals will start Miles Mikolas (11-11, 3.43 ERA.) He's been solid, but has been stellar in night games this year. In his last start against the Reds, he wasn't too good, but the Cardinals scored 13 runs and it was an easy win. For Cincinnati, they will start Chase Anderson (0-3, 9.00 ERA.) As his record shows, he hasn't been good all year. In 9 innings he's allowed 9 runs this season. Two of his 4 times pitching have been against this very Cardinals team as well. I expect St Louis to light this guy up for a third time here on Thursday and cruise to another easy victory, especially with the difference in talent between these teams. T.M. Prediction: 9-2 Cardinals |

09-15-22 | Rays v. Blue Jays UNDER 7.5 | Top | 11-0 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays/Toronto Blue Jays UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue Jays game on Thursday. These two teams have been going at it all season long, and it'c coming down to the final few weeks to see who will finish ahead of the other. Both of them will start very quality pitchers here in this one. Tampa, who trails them by a game and half (just one game behind the Mariners,) will start their ace in Shane McClanahan (11-5, 2.20 ERA.) He's been excellent all year long and is very much in the AL Cy Young race. In his last start, he went 6 shutout innings while striking out 9. Last time against the Blue Jays, he went 7 innings and only gave up 1 run in a 6-2 win. The Blue Jays will start Kevin Gausman (12-9, 3.31 ERA,) who's been excellent all year long. In his last start against the Rays, he went 8 shutout innings while only giving up 1 hit and striking out 10. In what should be a very competitive game, I'm expecting a pitchers duel on Thursday. Give me the UNDER. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blue Jays |

09-14-22 | Rockies v. White Sox -1.5 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox -1.5 I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. After a few winning streaks in a row, the White Sox find themselves slowly getting closer to that last wildcard spot. Their chances are pretty slim, considering the wildcard teams are really hot right now, and they really need some more winning streaks and long ones. However, this is the perfect situation for them. At home, against a weak opponent, with their best pitcher on the mound. Dylan Cease (14-6, 2.06 ERA) has looked like one of the best pitchers in all of baseball at times this year. In his last two starts, he's been nearly un-hittable, allowing just 4 hits in 15 innings pitched. In his last meeting against the Colorado Rockies, dating back to last season, he allowed just one run, while striking out 11 in 5.1 innings. Now, the Rockies will be starting Kyle Freeland (8-9, 4.63 ERA,) a southpaw with a four pitch arsenal. Primarily a fastball/slider pitcher, Freehand has been a bit shaky at times this year. In his last 6 starts, he's given up 18 earned runs. That's an average of three per start, and I'd be shocked if Cease allows that many. With the White Sox needing to string a lot of victories together to end the season, and the Rockies having just won four games in a row last week, I expect Chicago to have no problem winning by more than a run here on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 White Sox. |

09-13-22 | Royals v. Twins OVER 8 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 27 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals/Minnesota Twins OVER I am on the OVER in the Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins game on Tuesday. These pitchers aren't the greatest by any means. Joe Ryan (10-8, 4.05 ERA) has a decent record/era but he's been really struggling as of late. His last two starts have especially been pretty bad. Giving up nine earned runs in just nine innings of work. In his last three starts on the road he's given up 19 earned runs! Now that is what you call miserable. Looking at the Royals, Kris Bubic (2-11, 5.40 ERA) isn't any better. He's given up 19 earned runs in his last 5 starts himself. He's given up at least two earned runs in 7 of his last 8 starts at home. I expect the bats to be jumping all over the ball in this one, especially with a Twins team that really needs to string some wins together. Give me the OVER here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Twins |

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

09-12-22 | Astros -1.5 v. Tigers | 7-0 | Win | 100 | 23 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros -1.5 I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. Houston comes into this game off a 12-4 win on Sunday against the Angels. They've now won 4 series' in a row and should have no problem in making that five straight in this one. The Astros will start their 28 year old southpaw in Framber Valdez (14-5, 2.64 ERA,) who's had an excellent season so far. Although he is off a loss, he's only lost that one game since the first week of July before the all star break. Earlier this season when Valdez met with the Tigers, he went 6 innings and gave up just two in the 3-2 win. Speaking of Detroit, they are only 4-8 in their last 12 games after Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Royals. They will start Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4, 4.13 ERA,) also a southpaw pitcher, who's been very inconsistent this season. In his last two starts, he's given up eight earned runs. The Tigers also can't hit any homeruns. They only have hit 88 all season as a team, while the Astros have hit 178 out of the park. With the playoffs getting close and every game meaning something, I expect the Astros to really take it to the Tigers here on Monday in the first game of this series. T.M. Prediction: 6-0 Astros |

09-10-22 | Cardinals -1.5 v. Pirates | 7-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: STL Cardinals Off yesterday's 8-2 loss, the Cardinals will look to bounce back in a big way on Saturday. Jack Flaherty (0-1, 4.15 ERA) will take the mound for STL. Although his numbers don't look great, he's been pretty good as of late. He's only allowed 1 run in his last two starts and he's been reliable most of his career. For the Pirates, they will start JT Brubaker (3-11, 4.35 ERA.) He's been pretty bad as of late, giving up 8 ERs in his last two starts (21 in L6.) In his last game against the Cards, he gave up3 earned runs in a 3-1 loss. I expect St Louis to teach the Pirates a lesson here on Saturday, especially after the result yesterday. Give me the Cardinals T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Cardinals |

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

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

09-07-22 | Braves -1.5 v. A's | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5 I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Oakland A's on Wednesday. This will be the second of a short two games series between these two teams. The Braves are the much better team, everywhere on the field. They will start the young Spencer Strider (9-4, 2.67 ERA) who has been absolutely dominant this season. It couldn't have been better for Strider last time out, as he pitched 8 shutout innings, with 16 strikeouts! Looking at the A's, they'll start Ken Waldichuk (0-0, 1.93 ERA.) In one start this season, he was alright, pitching 4.2 innings and giving up a run. But that was against a Washington Nationals team that is falling to shreds. This Braves lineup is filled with talent from top to bottom and I'm expecting them to close this series out with another comfortable win. Don't be surprised if this Atlanta team goes back to back. Especially knowing they didn't have Ronald Acuna Jr in last years playoff run. This team looks scary if you ask me. Take the Braves and expect a blowout. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves |

09-06-22 | Blue Jays v. Orioles OVER 8.5 | Top | 6-9 | Win | 100 | 27 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays/Baltimore Orioles OVER I am on the OVER in the Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles game on Tuesday. Monday, in both games in a double header between the two, featured two high scoring games. The Blue Jays look to be back, hitting well again. They've now scored 4+ runs in 8 straight games and looking like they will be ready for the playoffs come October. But, pitching has been a weakness for this team all season, and Mitch White (1-5, 4.67 ERA) will get the start in this game. He has been one of their worst pitchers all year. In his last two starts, he's given up a combined 13 earned runs! Now, he faces a Baltimore Orioles team, that is also trying to sneak into the playoffs. For the Orioles, they've also been playing pretty solid baseball over the last few months. They've now scored 3+ runs in 6 of their last 7 games and should have no problem scoring against this pitcher. Kyle Bradish (3-5, 5.17 ERA) will be their pitcher today. He has been pitching some of his best as of late, but I expect him to at least give up a few runs against a blazing hot Blue Jays offense. In both of his last two starts against Toronto, he's given up 3 earned runs. If both of these teams want to make a run come the playoffs, their offenses need to be clicking, so expect some very good hitting here on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 7-5 Blue Jays |

09-05-22 | Twins v. Yankees OVER 8 | 2-5 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins/New York Yankees OVER I am on the OVER in the Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankees game on Monday. It's a new week, and that means a new series for baseball fans to watch. The Yankees can score runs, everyone knows that, and they will go up against Chris Archer (2-7, 4.52 ERA) here today. Archer has not been good whatsoever. In his last two starts, the righty has allowed 9 earned runs. He now hasn't won a game since mid June and I expect New York to kill him in this one. Looking at the Yankees, Jameson Taillon (12-4, 3.97 ERA) will get the nod. He's got an excellent record, but he allows runs almost every game. In his last six starts, he's given up 17 runs. In his last game against the Twins, he gave up 4 runs in just 4 innings. With both teams in need of wins, while battling for a playoff spot, I like the OVER a lot here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Yankees |

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

09-03-22 | Twins v. White Sox -129 | Top | 0-13 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Dylan Cease (12-6, 2.26 ERA) will be the starting pitcher for the home White Sox here today. Although he hasn't looked his greatest his past few starts, his numbers don't lie and he's still one of the best starters in the entire league. In his last start against Minnesota, he pitched 7 stellar innings, only giving up 1 hit and striking out 8 in a 11-0 win. Off a few wins now, the White Sox see themselves back ever so slightly in the playoff race. Looking at the Twins, they are one of the streakiest teams in baseball. Before their loss to end the month of August against Boston as well as yesterday's, they had won 4 straight, lost 6 straight and then won 5 straight again. Today, Tyler Mahle (6-7, 4.17 ERA) will get the start for them. He's been out since mid august with a shoulder injury, but he's back. His August was decent, in three starts. But looking at his July starts he wasn't all that good at all. This will be the second game of the series, and if the White Sox steal a few games in this series, they'll definitely boost their odds of making a playoff push to end the season. Give me the White Sox here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox |

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

08-31-22 | Dodgers v. Mets UNDER 7 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Mets UNDER. I am on the under in the New York Mets vs LA Dodgers game on Wednesday. The Mets have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately, playing 3 games in a row now with 7 runs total or less in the game, and that has also happened in 6/7 of their previous 7 games. The Mets offense hasn't looked great lately either, putting up no more than 3 runs in 3 games in a row and in 6/7 of their previous 7 games. I expect the Mets offense to continue struggling to put up runs here since they have been lately, and the Dodgers have been pitching great in their games with another solid starter going here in this game. Even the Dodgers have seen 7 runs total or less in 3/4 of their previous 4 games, and I see them struggling to put runs here like they did in their previous 2 games in a row now, getting a very tough pitching matchup here. Jacob deGrom (3-1, 2.15 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has only made 5 starts this year since coming back from injury but, he has looked great in all of those starts and I expect him to continue pitching like that here. He has given up 1 run or less in 3/5 of his starts and he hasn't given up more than 3 in either of the other 2 starts. I see him shutting down the Dodgers lineup here with another great performance. All 5 of the games he has started in this year also had 7 runs total or less in them. Tyler Anderson (13-2, 2.69 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has looked great in his starts all year. He hasn't given up many runs all year but even in his starts lately he has been great, giving up 1 earned run or less in 2 starts in a row now and in 6/8 of his previous 8 starts. Both of these teams have been great all year and they could even end up seeing each other very deep into the playoffs this year, this is going to be a close game with 2 great pitchers either way. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Mets. |

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

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

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

08-27-22 | Yankees -1.5 v. A's | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -130 | 13 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees -1.5. I like the New York Yankees runline in this game against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. The A's have not looked that good in their games lately. They have lost 2 games in a row now and 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They have even lost a majority of their games during that time by 2+ runs, and I think this is going to be another game where they get blown out by the Yankees who are starting to surge again. The Yankees have won 5 games in a row now and are starting to get back on a roll like they were for a majority of the year. Stanton returned to their lineup on Friday from injury and he has really helped spark this offense, putting up 16 runs in the 2 games he has been back for. The A's are one of the worst teams in the league and they have had a terrible offense all year, I see the Yankees rolling over them here like they did in the previous 2 games. Adam Oller (2-6, 6.41 ERA) is up for the A's here and he hasn't looked good at all in his rookie year here. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year, he hasn't been as bad lately but, I expect the Yankees to put up a ton of runs on him since their offense is a lot better as of late. Oller has seen the Yankees in 2 relief appearances this year where he didn't give up any runs, but he will give up runs here in an extended period of time out on the mound. Domingo Germán (2-2, 3.89 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has looked a lot better in his starts since having that 1st bad start on his way back from injury. He has given up 2 runs or less in 5/6 out of his previous 6 starts, and I see him shutting down this bad A's offense with another great start here. I like the Yankees runline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Yankees. |

08-27-22 | Braves v. Cardinals UNDER 7.5 | 5-6 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Cardinals UNDER. I am on the under in the Atlanta Braves vs St Louis Cardinals game on Saturday. The Braves have looked really good in their games lately, destroying every team in their path right now, and they haven't been staying under in a lot of their games but I think this is going to be a game that is a lot closer and lower in score. The Cardinals haven't been staying under in a lot of their games lately either but, they have also been very hot lately and I see them putting up a much better fight here at home after that big loss to the Braves last night. Jordan Montgomery (7-3, 3.08 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked great in his starts ever since getting traded to St Louis. He has started in 4 games for the Cardinals now and he has pitched 5+ innings in every game while giving up just 1 run total in the 4 starts. He also just had a start where he gave up no runs in 9 innings pitched against the Cubs, and he has been shutting down some good offenses in his starts lately. Charlie Morton (6-5, 3.99 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been having a very rough year pitching but, he has been improving a lot in his starts lately. He has been allowing less runs in his starts lately and he has given up 2 runs or less in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts. Both of these teams are fighting for the playoffs right now and I see this game being much closer than that blow out yesterday. I think both starters are going to pitch well here and go deep into the game to give their teams the best chance at winning. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Cardinals. |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

08-18-22 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -136 | 9-2 | Loss | -136 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Yankees. I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. The Yankees haven't looked good in their games lately but they finally broke out of their funk with a win over the Rays last night, and I think they are going to carry that momentum over into this game. They have been a great team in their own ballpark all year and I expect that to continue here since the Blue Jays haven't looked that great in their games lately either. Jose Berrios (8-5, 5.61 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he hasn't looked good in his starts as of late. He just gave up 8 runs in his most recent start and he has given up 5+ runs in 2 starts in a row now. That has been a common theme for him all year though, giving up a ton of runs in a lot of his starts. The Yankees offense finally looked good again last night and I think this is another game they can spark their offense in and put up some runs on Berrios here with how bad he has looked lately. Frankie Montas (4-9, 3.59 ERA) is up for the Yankees here and he has looked a lot better than Berrios has all year but Montas is also starting to look better in his starts lately. He gave up 6 runs in his 1st start as a Yankee but he bounced back last time, giving up just 2 runs in 5 innings against the Red Sox, and I see him bouncing back again to pitch an even better game here. I like the Yankees to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yankees. |

08-17-22 | Dodgers -165 v. Brewers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. The Dodgers lost to the Brewers yesterday after beating them 4-0 on Monday, but that was a very close loss yesterday losing 4-3 in the 11th inning, and the Dodgers still scored in that 11th inning but the Brewers scored 2. I think the Dodgers are going to bounce back in this game though and I expect them to get back on track here after such a close loss yesterday. Tony Gonsolin (14-1, 2.24 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has been great all year. His record and ERA alone speak for themselves but he hasn't given up many runs in a majority of his starts this year, I expect him to pitch another great game here. He has been great in August with 2 starts of 5+ innings under his belt and he has only given up 1 run total between those 2 starts. He hasn't seen the Brewers lineup yet this year but they haven't been hitting that well lately and even in their win yesterday, they didn't put up a lot of runs to get that win. I don't see the Brewers putting up many runs here on Gonsolin with the way their offense has been lately. Eric Lauer (8-4, 3.64 ERA) is up for the Brewers here and he hasn't looked that great in his starts this year. He just gave up 3 runs in his most recent start and he hasn't been a terrible starter this year giving up a ton of runs, but he has been consistently giving up runs in his starts and I see him getting into trouble here with this Dodgers offense. Even in yesterday's loss every time the Brewers took a lead, the Dodgers came right back the next inning but this is a game I'm expecting Gonsloin to shut down the Brewers offense in and I see the Dodgers taking an early lead here and not looking back. I like the Dodgers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Dodgers. |

08-16-22 | Mets +137 v. Braves | 0-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets. I like the New York Mets to win this game against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. The Mets have looked really good lately, winning 8/10 of their previous 10 games. They just lost to the Braves yesterday though, losing that game badly 13-1, and I expect the Mets to bounce back here with a win. The Mets have one of the best records in the league after a loss this year and they have also looked really good against division rivals all year. The Braves have looked good in their games lately but they also haven't had as tough a schedule as the Mets during that time, and I see the Mets bouncing back after a bad loss like that since they have been doing that all year. Taijuan Walker (10-3, 3.43 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He did have a really bad start the other week giving up 8 runs, but he bounced back in his most recent start and really hasn't given up more than 3 runs in a majority of his starts all year. That bad start where he gave up 8 runs was against the Braves just over a week ago, but that was his worst start all year and I don't see that happening again here since Walker will work hard to pitch a much better game this time and I see him bouncing back here. Charlie Morton (5-5, 4.26 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. Morton has been great throughout his career but he is having a really bad year and he has been consistent with his poor pitching all year. He had another start in his most recent one where he gave up 5 runs and he has done that in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts now. He hasn't pitched well in his starts against the Mets this year either as he has seen them more than once and has given up a ton of runs in all of those starts. I think the Mets are going to put up runs on him again in this game and I see them bouncing back after that bad game yesterday. I like the Mets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mets. |

08-16-22 | Red Sox -133 v. Pirates | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The Red Sox have looked a lot better in their games lately, winning 3/4 of their previous 5 games. They just won their most recent series against the Yankees over the weekend and their pitching has been really good lately. They only gave up 4 runs total in that series with the Yankees and I expect them to continue pitching well in this series against a terrible offense here. The Pirates have looked really bad this year and their offense has been terrible in their games all year. They have lost 4 games in a row now too and I expect them to continue in their slump here, losing another game to the Red Sox tonight. Nick Pivetta (8-9, 4.51 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he hasn't looked great in a lot of his starts lately, but he has been giving up less and less runs each start lately and I expect him to bounce back in this game getting back to his early season form. He hasn't given up more than 4 runs in 4 starts in a row now but he has been facing some decent lineups during that time, and I expect him to pitch a lot better against this bad lineup. Mitch Keller (4-8, 4.25 ERA) is up for the Pirates here and he hasn't looked great in a lot of his starts this year. He hasn't been terrible lately but he has still been up and down in his starts as of late, giving up 3+ runs in some starts and 1 or less in others, but I think the Red Sox are starting to get a bit hot now and I see them putting up runs on Keller in this game. They will also have some confidence after their series win against the Yankees and I expect that momentum to carry over into this game after the day off they had to get some rest. I like the Red Sox to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Red Sox. |

08-15-22 | Orioles +141 v. Blue Jays | 7-3 | Win | 141 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles. I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. The Orioles haven't looked good lately with 2 losses in a row now and they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games, but I expect them to bounce back here with a win in Toronto. The Blue Jays haven't looked any better in their games lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 games, and 2 of those losses were in a 2 game series against the Orioles last week that they were swept in. Their offense has looked terrible as of late, putting up no more than 2 runs in 3 games in a row now, even the game they won, but I don't see their pitching being good enough in this game to win another here like that with no offense. Yusei Kikuchi (4-6, 5.13 ERA) is up for the Blue Jays here and he has looked terrible in a majority of his starts all year. He has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all year and he just had another bad start in his most recent where he gave up 5 runs, and that start was against the Orioles last week. I think he is going to have another bad start here and he always gets his team into a hole early where they have to play the rest of the game from behind and with the way this offense has looked lately, I don't see the Blue Jays coming back here. Kyle Bradish (1-4, 6.42 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't looked that great in his rookie year here but, he has looked a lot better in his 3 starts since coming back from injury and hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any of those starts. He only gave up 3 runs against the Blue Jays last week and I expect him to continue getting better in his starts, shutting down the Jays here with that cold offense as of late. I like the Orioles to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Orioles. |

08-15-22 | Padres -133 v. Marlins | 0-3 | Loss | -133 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres. I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. The Padres made some huge trades at the deadline looking to really improve their team and compete with the Dodgers in their division. They got off to a really rough start after bringing in all those players but they have started to figure things out and have looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games now and their offense has looked a lot better in those games, putting up 6+ runs in their 4 wins. I think they are going to have another great offensive game here now that they have been rolling and I see them outscoring the Marlins heavily here since their offense has looked terrible lately. The Marlins have lost 4 games in a row now and 6/7 of their previous 7 games, and they haven't been putting up many runs lately either. They haven't put up more than 2 runs in 3 games in a row now, and they haven't put up more than 3 runs in 15 games in a row either. I don't think this offense can compete with the Padres the way they are playing lately and I see the Padres blowing the Marlins out here now that they are rolling. Joe Musgrove (8-5, 2.91 ERA) is up for the Padres here and he has looked really good all year. He had a rough stretch in July but he has bounced back in his most recent start, pitching 7 innings and only giving up the 1 run, and I see him continuing to pitch well here as he shuts down this bad offense that isn't doing much as of late. Sandy Alcantara (10-5, 2.01 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he has also looked really good this year but hasn't looked great in his starts lately. He has given up 4+ runs in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts and both of those starts were against teams with really good offenses, which the Padres have here. I see him giving up runs to the Padres here and I expect them to continue on their run here. I like the Padres to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Padres. |

08-14-22 | Mariners v. Rangers UNDER 7.5 | 3-5 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mariners/Rangers UNDER. I am on the under in the Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers game on Sunday. Neither of these teams have been involved in many low scoring affairs lately but I like the pitching matchup for both teams here and I expect this game to be a low scoring one as it turns into a pitcher's duel. Logan Gilbert (10-5, 3.47 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has looked really good in his starts this year, becoming the Mariners ace this year with how well he has been pitching. He has 2 starts in August and both were really bad starts, giving up 6+ runs in both games, but both of those starts were also against the Yankees who have one of the best offense in the league. I expect Gilbert to bounce back with a much better performance against the Rangers here since their offense hasn't been good all year and they haven't been putting up many runs in a lot of their games lately either. He has also pitched very well against the Mariners this year, seeing them in 3 different starts and not giving up more than 1 run in either start. Martín Pérez (9-3, 2.85 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has also looked really good this year as he has been the ace for the Rangers this year. He is also coming off of a bad start where he gave up 7 runs, but again he was facing the Astros who have one of the best offenses in the league. He made 4 starts in a row right before that where he gave up no more than 1 run in each start and I expect him to bounce back here with the mariners offense not as hot as it was just a few weeks ago. He has also pitched well against the Mariners giving up no more than 2 runs in either of his 2 starts against them this year. I see both starters bouncing back here with better games and I see this being a low scoring game as the offense struggle to put up runs. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Mariners. |
