04-09-22 | Indians v. Royals -115 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals. I like the Kansas City Royals to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. These 2 have only played the 1 game this year and the Royals took their home opener 3-1 over the Guardians on Thursday. I think they can repeat that game and get another win here in their 2nd game of the season. The Guardians have Zach Plesac (0-0, 0.00 ERA) starting today and he didn't have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 10-6 with a 4.67 ERA and he was giving up a lot of runs in his final few games last year. I think he is going to have a bad day pitching here and it should be enough for the Royals to capitalize early. Their bullpen kept them in that game on Thursday, holding down the Guardians to just 1 run and I think the Royals can do it again in this game. The Guardians have a significantly weaker batting lineup compared to last year and I think the Royals are going to get a lot more hits than the Guardians like they did in the 1st game. Brad Keller (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Royals and he wasn't great last year but I expect him to have a better start here. I think the Guardians are still going to struggle to get hits in this game and I like the Royals to repeat what they did to them on Thursday. I like the Royals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Royals. |

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

04-08-22 | Astros v. Angels OVER 9.5 | 13-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros/Angels OVER. I am on the over in the Houston Astros vs LA Angels game on Friday. The Astros started their year off on Thursday with a 3-1 win over the Angels but I am expecting a much higher scoring game here. The Astros still have tons of hitting power on their team and now that they have played in a real season game and have gotten the feel for it, I expect to see them put up a lot more runs today. Reid Detmers (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is the starter for the Angels and he finished the 2021 season 1-3 with a 7.40 ERA. He only had 5 starts last year but he gave up a ton of runs in a majority of the games he played in and he didn't even make it to the 4th inning in his 2 most recent starts. He got some work in Spring training this year but he didn't look great, only giving up 2 runs in his 6 innings played but he also gave up 6 hits and I think he will get rocked by a powerful Astros lineup here. The Angels also have their own big hitters though and I expect them to put up runs on the board to stay in this game and keep up with the Astros. Jake Odorizzi (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Astros and he had a shaky season last year. He finished the 2021 season 6-7 with a 4.21 ERA and I think he's not going to get off to a great start here. The last few years he has started off really slow and last year he had a 10+ ERA through his 1st 3 starts. I think he is going to have another rough start to the season like his past suggests and I see both teams getting a lot more hits in this game after a low scoring game in their 1st of the year. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-6 Astros. |

04-08-22 | Rangers v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 8-10 | Win | 120 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays -1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays runline against the Texas Rangers in this game on Friday. The Blue Jays put together a great season last year, they didn't make the playoffs but they were very close only 1 game out and they still had a 90+ win season too. They have made some good acquisitions during the offseason for both their pitching staff and their batting lineup and I think they are going to be a force in the AL East this year. I expect them to get their season started off on the right foot here and I like them to win by a few runs here. Jon Gray (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Rangers here and he didn't have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 8-12 with a 4.59 ERA and he really diminished near the end of the year in his final few starts. He played in 1 game in Spring training and he only gave up the 2 runs but he didn't look great giving up 8 hits and if he is giving up those kind of hits against the jays here, they are going to be in deep water today. Jose Berrios (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Blue Jays here and he pitched pretty well last year, finishing the 2021 season 12-9 with a 3.52 ERA. The Rangers haven't been a great team over the last few years and they have shed a lot of their big hitters in past offseasons. I think the Blue Jays have been raring to go and I expect them to come out with a boom in this opening game for them. I like the Blue Jays to win this game by 2+ runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. |

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

04-07-22 | Reds v. Braves -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5. I like the Atlanta Braves runline against the Cincinnati Reds in this game on Thursday. The Braves are the defending World Series champions and I expect them to get off to a strong start here with a win by 2+ runs over the Reds. The Braves were great in the playoffs last year and they were a very dominant team despite not having a lot of the hitting power that some of the other teams they faced had. They did lose some of their hitting power in the offseason too but they also picked up some players to make up for that and the Braves' real strength is their pitching anyway. Max Fried (0-0, 0.00) is the starting pitcher for them in this game and he had a terrific season last year. He finished the 2021 season 14-7 with a 3.04 ERA and I think he is going to pitch a gem in his season debut here. The Braves are also playing on their home field here and I think they will want to start off their season with a big win in their home opener to show that this team is ready to win another World Series this year. They have even won 2 games in a row to end Spring training, including a game where they didn't even allow a run. The Reds have also been hot to end Spring training with 4 wins in a row but I think the Braves have the pitching advantage with their starter here and I also think they have a better bullpen too. Tyler Mahle (0-0, 0.00) is starting for the Reds here and he wasn't awful last year but he wasn't great either. He finished the 2021 season 13-6 with a 3.75 ERA and I think he is going to get lit up by the Braves here. The Reds really haven't done much to bolster their lineup for this year and the Braves not only have the better pitching staff here, but they also have the better hitters. I think the Braves are going to start their year off with a bang here and win this game by 2+ runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Braves. |
|||||||
04-07-22 | Brewers -180 v. Cubs | 4-5 | Loss | -180 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on opening day Thursday. The Brewers ended their regular season last year as the best team in their division but they fizzled out in the playoffs and I think they are going to be looking for a strong start to this year's season. They have already been starting to get hot lately with 2 wins in a row to end Spring training and I think they can start their year off with a win here. Corbin Burnes (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is making the start for this game and he had a great year last year. He finished the 2021 season 11-5 with a 2.43 ERA. I think he can make a deep start into this game and will keep the Cubs' batters at bay here. The Cubs are trying to forget about a terrible season last year where they finished 4th in their division and missed the playoffs altogether. They haven't looked bad in Spring training this year but I think the Brewers have a major pitching advantage here. Kyle Hendricks (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is the starting pitcher for the Cubs here and he didn't really have a great season last year. He finished the 2021 season 14-7 with a 4.77 ERA and I think he is going to hit a snag in his season debut here. I expect the Brewers to have a big day with their hitting and I like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Brewers. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Braves v. Astros -122 | 7-0 | Loss | -122 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to win game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves and tie the series up. The Astros won game 5 of this series in Atlanta 9-5 to force another game but this time the last 2 will be in Houston. The Astros had to rally twice in that game to win, going down 4-0 right in the 1st inning just to tie it 4-4 in the top of the 3rd inning but have the Braves take the lead back in the bottom of that inning. The Astros had a burst in the 5th to take the lead back and then just kept adding on to win 9-5. Now that their bats have heated up and they have themselves backed into the corner playing 3 elimination games in a row just to win the World Series, I expect that they will get a quick start here to take the lead since they have been trailing in a lot of these games. They will be at home with the crowd on their side to finish off the World Series and I think they will make sure to grab a lead quick here and keep it through the game. The Astros have to win here or it's all over for them so I like them to win here with their backs against the wall and tie this series up forcing a game 7. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Astros +101 v. Braves | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to beat the Atlanta Braves in this game 4 of the World Series on Saturday. The Braves took a 2-1 lead in the series on Friday with a 2-0 win. The Astros only mustered up 2 hits in that game and that wasn't even until around the 8th inning. I expect them to bounce back in this game with a big win to even up the series after getting shut out and almost giving the Braves a no-hitter. Zack Greinke (11-6, 4.16 ERA) is up for the Astros and he is made for these types of situations. Greinke is their ace and I expect him to show up here and put on a show after seeing what the Braves and their pitching staff did in the previous game. He has pitched in 2 games this postseason but did not go more than 2 innings in either game. He should have a very fresh arm for this game. Jesse Chavez (3-2, 2.14 ERA) is up for the Braves which tells me that this is going to be a bullpen day for the Braves. This will leave the Astros with plenty of opportunities to put some runs up in this game and I expect them to respond after the disappointment in yesterday's game. I like the Astros to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. |

10-29-21 | Astros v. Braves OVER 8.5 | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Astros/Braves F5 OVER. I am on the over in the first 5 of the Houston Astros vs Atlanta Braves game 3 on Friday. Both of the 1st 2 games of this World Series have had 8+ runs total in them and 6+ runs coming in the first 5 innings of the game. Both of these teams have been hitting the ball a lot in these playoffs this year and we have already seen both teams get off to a hot start early in each of the games of this series. These lineups are loaded with guys who are ready to destroy the ball out of the park. Luis Garcia (11-8, 3.30 ERA) is up for the Astros and he pitched well in his last start but he has mostly been struggling in these playoffs and to end off the regular season. He didn't give up any runs in his last start but he did give up 5 runs in each of his 1st 2 postseason starts this year and did not make it past 3 innings in either of those games, giving up those runs very early. Even in his last start to finish off the regular season, he gave up 6 runs in that start. He has been struggling and I think with the way the Braves are hitting, he is going to get beaten up early on the bump here. Ian Anderson (9-5, 3.58 ERA) is up for the Braves and he has also been giving up some early runs in his postseason starts this year not making it to the 5th inning in his last 2 starts. The Astros have already been down in this series once already and I don't think they are going to wait around in these games for things to happen. they are going to come out firing right out of the gate and so will the Braves. I like the over in the 1st 5 for this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Astros (after 1st 5). |

10-27-21 | Braves v. Astros -112 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to beat the Atlanta Braves in game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday. The Astros lost game 1 on Tuesday 6-2 and I expect them to make a bounce back here. The last thing they want is to leave Houston down 2-0 in the series and have to play the next 3 in a row in Atlanta. They started to hit the ball well in the last 2 innings of that game so I expect that they will come right out of the gate in this game. Jose Urquidy (8-3, 3.62 ERA) is up for the Astros and he pitched well during the season but struggled in his 1 start this postseason. I expect him to bounce back too with a good performance here. Max Fried (14-7, 3.04 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has had some rocky starts in this postseason. He gave up 5 runs in his last start and 2 in his start before that but he gave up 8 hits in each of those games with only 3 strikeouts in his last start. I think he is going to get rocked again on the mound by the Astros in this game. They have the batters to put this game away so I like the Astros to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Astros. |
|||||||
10-26-21 | Braves v. Astros OVER 8 | 6-2 | Push | 0 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Braves/Astros OVER. I am on the over in the Atlanta Braves vs Houston Astros game on Tuesday. The Braves really kept up with the Dodgers in the NLCS, not just with their pitching or strategy but they were putting up a lot of runs in those games. They had 4/5 games with 9+ runs total in them to end off that series and they even put up 9 runs themselves in 1 of those games. Charlie Morton (14-6, 3.34 ERA) is up on the bump here and he has been consistent in these playoffs with 3 starts and has given up 2 runs in each of those starts. The Braves aren't the only ones that have been hitting well though, the Astros found their bats in the last 3 games of the ALCS and really put up a lot of runs. They put up 9 runs in 2 different games of the last 3 in that series and then finished the Red Sox off with a 5 run game. Morton has been pitching well but I think the Astros will be able to get to him for some runs here. Framber Valdez (11-6, 3.14 ERA) is up for the Astros and he has been a bit shaky this postseason. He redeemed himself in his last start only giving up 1 run through 8 innings but his 2 starts before that 1 he had given up 7 runs total between the 2 starts, only pitching a total of 7 innings in those 1st 2 starts. He has also been getting hit a lot giving up 16 hits in his 3 starts this postseason. I think he is going to give up a lot hits again in this game but this time the Braves will make him pay for it. Both teams have very hot bats right now and I think they are both going to put up a lot runs here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-4 Astros. |
|||||||
10-22-21 | Red Sox -101 v. Astros | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -101 | 14 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to beat the Houston Astros on Friday and tie up the series 3-3. The Red Sox have been backed into a corner, after getting a 2-1 lead in the series they now find themselves down 3-2 and on the road for their next 2 games where if they lose 1 then they are out. I think they are going to stop the bleeding in this game. The Astros have now won 2 in a row against them and it is very hard to win 3 in a row against the same team in the MLB. The Red Sox were unable to do so when they had the 2-1 lead in the series and I think the Astros won't be able to do so either. Even in the ALDS the Astros were unable to win 3 straight against the White Sox and couldn't sweep them after going up 2-0 in that series. Nathan Eovaldi (11-9, 3.75 ERA) is starting in this game he was the reason for their destruction in the 9th inning when Houston scored 7 runs to tie the series 2-2. That was just 1 bad inning though and he was just a reliever then too. He has started in 3 games this postseason and has pitched well in his starts not giving up more than 3 runs in any of those games and his team went on to win all 3 of his starts including game 2 of this series against the Astros. Luis Garcia (11-8, 3.30 ERA) is up for the Astros and unlike Eovaldi, Garcia has only been a starter this postseason pitching in 2 games and pitching very bad in both. He allowed 5 runs in each of those starts and his team went on to lose both games, including game 2 of this ALCS. I think the Red Sox are going to take advantage of him on the mound here so I like the Red Sox to win this 1 and force a game 7. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Red Sox. |

10-21-21 | Braves v. Dodgers -128 | 2-11 | Win | 100 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to beat the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. The Dodgers lost to them on Wednesday night 9-2 and are now down 3-1 in the series on the brink of elimination. I expect them to bounce back here at home and win this game as their playoffs are on the line now. Joe Kelly (2-0, 2.86 ERA) is starting for the Dodgers and he will likely just be the opener in this game as the Dodgers look to their bullpen for answers that their starters couldn't provide in the games they played in. The Dodgers have the talent in their starting lineup and with their pitching staff to take control here and get the win. Max Fried (14-7, 3.04 ERA) is starting for the Braves and he pitched in game 1 of this series in his last outing. He gave up 2 runs and 8 hits in that game. The Dodgers were hitting him well in that game but weren't capitalizing on their chances. I expect them to the same here with their hitting but the difference will be them bringing in those guys on base for some runs. This is a must win for the Dodgers or they are going home so I like them to win in this game with their backs against the wall here. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Astros v. Red Sox -126 | 9-2 | Loss | -126 | 5 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox. I like the Boston Red Sox to beat the Houston Astros on Tuesday. The Red Sox are on a roll in these playoffs, they kicked the Rays out in just 4 games in that series and now have a 2-1 lead over the Astros with a chance to kick them out at Fenway in their next 2 games. Their batters have been very hot putting up 21 runs in their last 2 games and giving up 8 to the Astros. Nick Pivetta (9-8, 4.53 ERA) is getting his first start in the postseason but has already pitched in 2 games coming out of the bullpen. He pitched from the 10th to the 13th inning in the last game he was in and was awarded with the win after not giving up a run in that game. Zack Greinke (11-6, 4.16 ERA) is also getting his 1st start in this postseason pitching in just one inning out of the bullpen in these playoffs so far. He has not pitched well in his last 3 starts giving up 5+ runs in each of those games. With the way the Red Sox are hitting currently, I think he is in for another bad day on the mound here. The Red Sox are just too hot to fade at the moment so I like them to win here and take a 3-1 series lead. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Red Sox. |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Astros +108 v. Red Sox | Top | 3-12 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros. I like the Houston Astros to beat the Boston Red Sox in Game 3 on Monday. The Astros lost in Game 2 of this series letting the Red Sox tie it up going back to Boston but I think the Astros are going to get that game back here. They have put up 5 runs in each game of this series and is the highest scoring team in this postseason so far. Jose Urquidy (8-3, 3.62 ERA) is starting and he has pitched well for them all year. He has been pitching well lately with just 2/9 games in his last few starts where he gave up more than 2 runs. He has not pitched since October 3 so he will be very fresh for this game. Eduardo Rodriguez (13-8, 4.74 ERA) is starting for the Red Sox and he has already pitched in 2 games of this postseason. He gave up 2 runs in each of those but the 1 game he did not make it to the 3rd inning in and was credited with the loss and the other was a no-decision. He does not have a good track record against the Astros this year either. He has given up a total of 12 runs in 2 games he pitched against them, 6 in each game. The Astros are going to come to take the lead in the series here and I think their batters are going to be hitting Rodriguez no problem. I like the Astros to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Braves | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers -1.5. I like the LA Dodgers on the runline against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. The Dodgers lost game 1 of this series but they did the same thing in their series with the Giants before coming back in game 2 and winning by 7 runs. I expect the Dodgers to do the same thing in this game with a big bounce back. Max Scherzer (15-4, 2.46 ERA) is starting and he has pitched very well this year and in the postseason. He has pitched in 3 games in this postseason and he has not given up more than 1 run in any of those games. He came out in the 9th inning of game 5 to finish the Giants off and he was pitching some nasty stuff in that 1 inning. I expect him to keep that up in this game and make it nearly impossible for the Braves to get a run here. Ian Anderson (9-5, 3.58 ERA) is starting for the Braves and he has pitched well this year too. He has pitched in 1 game in this postseason and did not give up any runs in this game. He did face the Dodgers earlier this year in the regular season and he got rocked in that game giving up 4 runs. I think that is going to happen to him again in this game since the Dodgers have been hot at bat in some of these games. I like the Dodgers on the runline here to win this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 4-0 Dodgers. |

10-15-21 | Red Sox v. Astros OVER 8 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 17 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Red Sox/Astros OVER. I am on the over in the Boston Red Sox vs Houston Astros game on Friday. The Red Sox have really busted out their bats in the last series against the Rays. After a 5-0 loss in game 1, they had all 3 games that they won go over the total. They put up 6+ runs themselves in each of those games that they won. Chris Sale (5-1, 3.16 ERA) is starting this one and he did not pitch too well in game 2 of their series against the Rays. He gave up 5 runs in just 1 inning in that game. The Astros have had a similar thing happen in their ALDS. After their game 1 went under, the last 3 games of that series all went over the total, the Astros putting up 6+ runs in each of those last 3 games also. Framber Valdez (11-6, 3.14 ERA) is starting this one for the Astros and he did not pitch well in game 2 that he started in either. He started game 2 and he gave up 4 runs in that game. The Red Sox and the Astros have both been hitting the ball well and putting up a lot of runs in their last series. Both have pitchers that did not have good starts in the games they pitched in last series also. I like this game to go over the posted total here. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Astros. |
|||||||
10-14-21 | Dodgers v. Giants UNDER 7 | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 41 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers/Giants UNDER. I am on the under in the LA Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants game on Thursday. This is the deciding game 5 of this series to see who goes to the NLCS and I think the pitching is going to be very tight in this game. There is no next time for the team that loses so any little sign that the starter is going to give up runs, both of these teams will be going to the best in their bullpens. Same goes if the reliever starts to get hit, both teams won't hesitate to make the switch. Julio Urias (20-3, 2.96 ERA) is starting for the Dodgers and he was their best pitcher all season. He has been very good only giving up 3+ runs in 1/14 starts in his last 14. He pitched in game 2 of this series getting the win for his team only giving up 1 run in that game. Logan Webb (11-3, 3.03 ERA) is starting for the Giants and he also pitched well all season for his team. He pitched in game 1 of this series and he almost made it to the 9th inning not giving up a single run in that game as he got the win for his team. Neither team can afford to make a mistake here so I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Dodgers. |

10-12-21 | Brewers +114 v. Braves | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. They are down 2-1 in the series and facing elimination in this game. I think they are going to bounce back here and tie the series up. They have lost 2 in a row and have only put up 2 runs in the 3 games of this series. This team has too much talent to stay down for long so I expect the bats to come out in this game. The Braves have put up 3 runs in each of their last 2 and they have scored in every game of this series. All the games have been close though just the Brewers haven't ben scoring. I think their offense is going to explode in this one. I like the Brewers to win this game on Tuesday and send this series back home tied. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Brewers. |

10-11-21 | Giants v. Dodgers -1.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers -1.5. I like the LA Dodgers on the runline against the San Francisco Giants on Monday. The Giants took the first game of this series but the Dodgers got it back in game 2 and now get to head home for 2 games with a chance to eliminate the Giants at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers bounced back in game 2 with a 9-2 win really letting their bats loose in that one. Alex Wood (10-4, 3.83 ERA) is starting for the Giants he has pitched well lately not giving up a lot of runs in his last couple of starts. Max Scherzer (15-4, 2.46 ERA) is going for the Dodgers though, and he has been great since coming to the team. He has not lost a game yet as a Dodger. His last 2 starts were shaky as he gave up 5 runs in each but I expect a big bounce back in these playoffs now. Back in 2019 he won every single postseason start he had as he and his team won the World Series that year. He pitched in the Wild Card game last week and only gave up 1 run in that one. I don't think the Giants will be able to score any runs off Scherzer and now the Dodgers are scoring a lot again. I like the Dodgers to win here by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Dodgers -107 v. Giants | 9-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers. I like the LA Dodgers to beat the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. The Dodgers lost game 1 of this series and I think they are going to bounce back here after getting blanked. Julio Urias (20-3, 2.96 ERA) is starting and he has been great on the bump all year long. He has 11 wins in a row and he has not given up 2+ earned runs in any games except for 1 in his last 13 starts. He has been the best pitcher for the Dodgers this season and they have had nothing but success when he starts. Kevin Gausman (14-6, 2.81 ERA) is up for the Giants and he has been good in his last 2 starts, but he has been shaky overall in his 4 starts before then. He gave up 3+ runs in each of his 4 starts before his last 2 and he also gave up 8+ hits in 3 of those during that time. The Dodgers have their ace up here and this is the best time for them to strike back and tie the series going back to LA. I like the Dodgers here to win this game and tie it up. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Dodgers. |

10-08-21 | White Sox +108 v. Astros | 4-9 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Houston Astros on Friday. The White Sox lost game 1 of this series on Thursday 6-1 but I think they are going to bounce back here and win this game. Lucas Giolito (11-9, 3.53 ERA) is starting and he has been great in his last few starts. He has only given up more than 2 runs 1 time in his last 9 starts. The White Sox have had success with him pitching too winning 5 in a row with him as a starter. Framber Valdez (11-6, 3.14 ERA) is starting for the Astros and he has been shaky in his starts lately. He gave up 4 runs in his last start and he has done that 3 times in his last 5 starts. I expect him to give up a few runs in this game too. The White Sox have the better pitching matchup here and I think their batters will be eager to put some runs up on the board in this game. I like the White Sox to bounce back here and win game 2. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 White Sox. |
|||||||
10-07-21 | White Sox +123 v. Astros | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox. I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Houston Astros in game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday. The White Sox had a great run at the end of the regular season winning 6 games in a row before losing their last game of the season. Lance Lynn (11-6, 2.69 ERA) is the starter here and he has been solid all year besides a few hiccups in his starts. Only 1 of his starts in his last 4 had more than 1 run given up by him. The Astros ended their season winning 2 games in a row but they stumbled a bit losing 3 games in that last week of the regular season. Lance McCullers Jr (13-5, 3.16 ERA) is starting and he has been a bit shaky lately giving up 7 runs in his last 3 games. Both of these pitchers have playoff experience but Lynn has played in a lot more games in the postseason than McCullers has. The White Sox were also winning more games than the Astros to end the season. I think the White Sox are playing way better right now so I like them to take game 1 of this series here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 White Sox. |

10-06-21 | Cardinals v. Dodgers OVER 7.5 | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -103 | 36 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cardinals/Dodgers OVER. I am on the over in the St. Louis Cardinals vs LA Dodgers Wild Card game on Wednesday. The Cardinals were easily the hottest team in the MLB to finish off the regular season this year. In the last week they were on a 17 game win streak at one point that was ended but they had been scoring so many runs along with it. When the Cardinals needed to win games to get here they didn't just win games barely or scrape by with good pitching, they won their games with force putting up run after run as they would bury teams. Adam Wainwright (17-7, 3.05 ERA) is starting and he has been a little shaky in his last couple of starts. He has given up 7 runs in his last 2 starts and he also faced the Dodgers in early September giving up 4 runs in that game. The Dodgers were another team that finished the season incredibly hot as they were trying to catch the Giants for the division. They put 8+ runs in each of their last 5 games to finish the season scoring a ton of runs. Max Scherzer (15-4, 2.46 ERA) is starting but he has not been at his best lately. He has had 2 bad starts in a row now giving up 5 runs in each game he pitched in. These are two of the hottest hitting teams in the MLB right now and both pitchers have seen better days lately. I think there will be a lot of runs scored here so I like the over in this one. T.M. Prediction: 9-5 Dodgers. |
|||||||
10-05-21 | Yankees v. Red Sox OVER 8 | 2-6 | Push | 0 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Yankees/Red Sox OVER. I am on the over in the New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Wild Card game on Tuesday. The Yankees finished the regular season on a very hot run to soar upward in the standings and snag this spot. I expect their momentum to carry over here and have them put up some runs. Gerrit Cole (16-8, 3.23 ERA) is starting and he has been shaky in his last few starts. He gave up 5 runs in his last start, 3 in the one before that, and 7 in the one before that for a total of 15 runs given up by him in just 3 games. One of those games was against the Red Sox and it is not the first time this season that Boston has beaten him up on the mound. The Red Sox also finished their season on a hot run scoring 4+ runs in each game of their last series. Nathan Eovaldi (11-9, 3.75 ERA) is starting and he has also been shaky lately. He pitched a shut out through 6 innings his last but in his start previous to that one, he gave up 7 runs through not even 3 innings... and they were playing the Yankees. These teams are both hot right now and hitting these pitchers have not been a problem for either team lately. I like this game to go over on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 10-6 Yankees. |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Twins v. Royals OVER 10.5 | Top | 7-3 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Pick: Twins/Royals over (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). 2 poor pitchers face off here in the final game of the regular season and I believe each will see limited time. The home side goes with Kris Bubic (6-7, 4.43 ERA), who comes in off a decent outing against the Tigers. Bubic hasn't been terrible over the last month, but he's still just 2-4 with an elevated 5.46 ERA in all day games. The Twins see Griffin Jax (4-5, 6.37), toe the slab and he was most recently blasted for 4 runs over four innings in a loss to the Jays on Sunday. Over his last 77 frames Jax has an ugly 6.78 ERA, 1.40 WHIP. Look for this one to sail well over the number. T.M. Prediction: 8-7 Twins. |
|||||||
10-02-21 | Orioles v. Blue Jays -1.5 | 1-10 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. The Jays are in a must win scenario in these last 2 games and they couldn't have asked for a better team to play in this final series with everything on the line. They Jays have been winning a majority of their games in the last week and they have been scoring a lot of runs along with the wins. They will have Alek Manoah (8-2, 3.35 ERA) on the mound and he has been having a great rookie year for the team. He has allowed more than 3 runs on just 1 occasion in his last 6 starts and the team did not lose a single game in the month of September when he was the starter. John Means (6-8, 3.32 ERA) is up for Baltimore here but he has been giving up quite a few runs in his last start. The Jays still have the momentum on their side here to make a run at the playoffs so I expect them to give it their all in this game. I like the Jays to win in a blowout here on the runline. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
10-01-21 | Indians -121 v. Rangers | 9-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Indians. I like the Cleveland Indians to beat the Texas Rangers on Friday. They won 6-1 over the Royals in their last game and managed to take 2 of the 4 games in that series. Eli Morgan (4-7, 5.27 ERA) is starting for them here and he has had some solid starts lately. He has let the other team score 1 run against him in his last 2 starts and, other than 1 bad start where he gave up 7 runs, he has not given up 2+ runs in his last 5 starts. The Rangers will have Spencer Howard (0-4, 7.04 ERA) starting and he has been terrible lately. There has been 3 occasions in his last 5 starts where he has given up 4+ runs. Eli Morgan has been showing improvement in his last few starts after starting off his rookie year with a rough start. Howard is just too inconsistent as he will give up no runs in 1 game and then 6 runs in the next and it has been on ongoing theme for him all year. I like the Indians to get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Indians. |
|||||||
09-30-21 | Yankees v. Blue Jays -132 | 6-2 | Loss | -132 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the New York Yankees on Thursday and finish off their season strong. The Blue Jays saved their playoff hopes on Wednesday with a win against the Yankees after blowing a 5-1 lead they squeaked it out 6-5. Their hitters still looked good in that game and they came up big when Toronto need them most. Robbie Ray (13-6, 2.68 ERA) is starting and he has been great all year. He is becoming their new ace on the mound with the way he has been playing lately. The Blue Jays have now put themselves in a position where they do not control their own fate anymore. They could win-out for the rest of the season and still not make it to the postseason if the teams ahead win their games as well. All they can do to give themselves the best chance is to win games and that is their plan right now. They had a chance to win that first game of the series as they took an early lead but let it get away from them. Then they came out strong in game 2 and held on to that lead. I expect them to keep fight as hard as they can here and with Ray on the mound, they will make sure to not let this game get away from them. I like the Blue Jays to win here and finish strong. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
09-30-21 | Brewers -102 v. Cardinals | 3-4 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brewers. I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. The Brewer won their game against the Cardinals on Wednesday night. That win ended a 17 game winning streak that the Cardinals were on. Brett Anderson (4-9, 4.30 ERA) is starting and he has been solid lately, other than 1 bad start in his last against these same Cardinals. He allowed 6 runs against them just over a week ago and I think he is due for a bounce back since it has only happened twice in his last 12 starts that he allowed over 3 runs in a game. J.A. Happ (9-8, 5.86 ERA) is starting for the Cardinals and he has not been much better this year. In his last 5 starts, 3/5 of them have had 3+ runs in them. The Cardinals must feel relieved after having their backs against the wall and then pulling off the streak they did to clinch their spot in the postseason. The Brewers are still out to get their rivals in this series so I like the Brewers to win here and finish the job off. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Brewers. |
|||||||
09-29-21 | Reds v. White Sox -1.5 | 1-6 | Win | 120 | 13 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: White Sox -1.5. I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. They have won 3 games in a row, 2 of those wins were by 2+ runs. They completely destroyed any little hopes the Reds had left of making it to the postseason with a 7-1 win yesterday, it would not have mattered though since the Cardinals won their game. Carlos Rodon (12-5, 2.47 ERA) is starting and he has been great all season. He has allowed more than 2 runs in a game just 1 time in his last 9 starts. After a 4 game win streak where they scored 7+ runs in each game, the Reds were able to score just 1 run against the White Sox yesterday snapping their streak. Sonny Gray (7-8, 3.99 ERA) is starting and he has allowed quite a few runs in his last few starts. With nothing left to play for here for the Reds, I expect the White Sox to win this game by -1.5 once again. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 White Sox. |
|||||||
09-28-21 | Yankees v. Blue Jays -117 | 7-2 | Loss | -117 | 14 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the New York Yankees on Tuesday. The Blue Jays have been playing very well in these last few weeks but they have been hovering in and out of the Wild Card positions over that time as different teams get a leg up on them. This is their chance to take control of their own fate with a series against the Yankees who have a 2 game lead on them but are also in the 1st Wild Card position with the Red Sox standing in between the 2. I think the Jays are going to make a real hard push in these last few games and take advantage of this series to knock the Yankees down a few pegs. Hyun Jin Ryu (13-9, 4.34 ERA) is starting and he is their guy that they trust the most on the mound. He has had a few bad starts now and I expect him to have a big bounce back game here when it matters most. Jameson Taillon (8-6, 4.41 ERA) is starting for the Yankees here and he is nothing special when it comes to pitching. He has allowed 3+ runs in each of his last 5 starts and I expect nothing to be different in this game as he is up against a hot hitting lineup. They Jays know what is on the line here with this series so I expect them to bring it home here in front of all their fans. I like the Jays to get a big win in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
09-28-21 | Cubs v. Pirates OVER 8.5 | 6-8 | Win | 100 | 13 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cubs/Pirates OVER. I am on the over in the Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates game on Tuesday. The Cubs have had a lot of runs scored in their games lately with 13/14 in their last 14 games having 9+ runs total in them. Alec Mills (6-7, 4.83 ERA) is starting for the Cubs and he has not been great this season. He has allowed 10 earned runs total in his last 2 starts, and this has been a common them in his last 6 starts as he has been getting blown up on the mound. The Pirates just had a game where they let the Reds put up 13 runs against them in a single game. Mitch Keller (5-11, 5.96 ERA) is starting for the Pirates and he has been even worst than Mills this season. He has steadily been allowing 2+ runs in his last few starts. Both of these starting pitchers have been bad this year and it should lead to a lot of runs being scored in this game. I think it will be a high scoring one so I am on the over here. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Cubs. |
|||||||
09-27-21 | A's v. Mariners -107 | 4-13 | Win | 100 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Oakland Athletics on Monday. The Mariners just swept the A's in 4 games last week. They have been hot winning their last 3 series' looking for a Wild Card position to get to the postseason. They just took 2/3 games from the Angels over the weekend, that being their only loss in their last 8. Chris Flexen (13-6, 3.56 ERA) is starting here and he has been good lately allowing just the 1 run in each of his last 2 starts, including his last start which was against the A's. The A's managed to sweep the Astros over the weekend in response to getting swept by the Mariners. They are still 1 game behind them in this race. Cole Irvin (10-14, 3.99 ERA) is up for the A's and he has been getting hit a lot lately. He has allowed 6+ hits in his last 8 starts and is allowing over 3 runs a game during that time. The Mariners are in a better position to get a Wild Card over the A's and they will still have that confidence from sweeping them just a week ago. I like the Mariners to continue their hot play here and win this game on Monday. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners. |
|||||||
09-27-21 | Royals v. Indians UNDER 9.5 | 3-8 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Royals/Indians UNDER. I am on the under in the Kansas City Royals vs Cleveland Indians game on Monday. The Royals have stayed under this posted total in their last 10 straight. Jackson Kowar (0-4, 11.45 ERA) is starting in this game and he has had a disappointing rookie season thus far. He has already gone head to head with the Indians earlier this year and it was the longest game he has ever lasted in his career making it through 6 innings and only allowing 2 runs. The Indians have also had their last 8 stay under this posted total. Cal Quantrill (7-3, 2.82 ERA) is starting here and he has been great lately only allowing more than 1 run in 1 game out of his last 5 starts. Both of these team have been ruled out of the playoffs with few games left in the season. I don't expect there to be a lot of energy in this game from either team so I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Indians. |
|||||||
09-26-21 | Mariners v. Angels -142 | 5-1 | Loss | -142 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection : LA Angels. I like the LA Angels to beat the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. The Angels won their game against the Mariners on Saturday by a score of 14-1. Shohei Ohtani (9-2, 3.28 ERA) is starting in this game and he has been a good pitcher for them all season. They will be looking to hurt the Mariners playoff hopes anyway they can and Seattle has to be a little demotivated by their loss in the last game. Marco Gonzales (9-5, 4.14 ERA) is starting for the Mariners and he has been getting touched a lot lately allowing 12 earned runs in his last 4 starts. He has also allowed a home run in each of his last 6 starts, 4 of those 6 starts he allowed multiple home runs. That will not be good against the Angels who have finally had their hitters wake up. I like the Angels to keep rolling here and put a damper on the Mariners playoff hopes even more. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Angels. |
|||||||
09-25-21 | Marlins v. Rays -1.5 | 3-7 | Win | 106 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays -1.5. I like the Tampa Bay Rays on the runline against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Rays have been playing much better lately. They have 3 wins in their last 4 games and all of those wins were by 2+ runs. When the Rays win their games they are not usually close either, the last 8 games that they have won have all been by 2+ runs as well. Shane McClanahan (9-6, 3.51 ERA) is starting and he has been good in most of his starts this season. He is a rookie pitcher so the Marlins have never seen any of his pitches in a a game against him. The Marlins have lost their last 3 games in a row and all of those losses were by 2+ runs. Sandy Alcantara (9-13, 3.05 ERA) is starting and he has been good this season but the Rays have started scoring a lot of runs lately and they are the 1st place team in the AL East for a reason. No matter well he is pitching they will find ways to break him in this game and put up the runs. They Rays still have to clinch the division title but the Marlins really have nothing to play for here and they can't even play spoiler as the Rays are going to the playoffs either way. I like the Rays to win this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Rays. |
|||||||
09-24-21 | Nationals v. Reds OVER 9 | 7-8 | Win | 103 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nationals/Reds OVER. I am on the over in the Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds game on Friday. The Nats have been scoring a lot of runs in their games lately. They have scored 7 runs themselves in 3/4 games of their last 4. Paolo Espino (5-5, 3.94 ERA) is starting for them and he has been involved in a lot of high scoring games when he pitches. In his last 10 starts, 7/10 of them have had 9+ runs total in them. He has a history this season of pitching a few good games back to back but then gets blown up and it has been a steady trend throughout the year. He has only allowed 1 run in his last 2 starts combines but allowed 5 in the start before those 2. I expect him to have a bad game and allow quite a few runs here. The Reds have also had a few high scoring games themselves lately. Sonny Gray (7-8, 3.84 ERA) is starting here and he has started to show some cracks lately. In his last 4 starts, he has allowed 2+ runs in each. He has also been allowing more runs in each game after during that time while his allowed hits have gone up too and his strikeouts have decreased in each game over his last 4 starts. I expect both of these pitchers to give up some runs in this one so I am on the over here. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Reds. |
|||||||
09-23-21 | Mariners v. A's UNDER 8.5 | 6-5 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mariners/Athletics UNDER. I am on the under in the Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics game on Thursday. There has been less than 9 runs in the Mariners last 4 games, including the 3 games they have played against the A's in this series. Yusei Kikuchi (7-9, 4.32 ERA) is starting and he has not been good lately but I expect him to make a bounce back start here. The A's have had less than 9 runs in their last 5 games. Chris Bassit (12-4, 3.22 ERA) is starting for the A's and he has been solid lately not allowing more than 3 runs in his last 4 starts. I don't think the Mariners will be able to put up a ton of runs on the A's in this one with Bassit starting and the A's have not really been hitting the ball well lately. I like this game to stay under the posted total here. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Athletics. |
|||||||
09-22-21 | Mariners v. A's -133 | 4-1 | Loss | -133 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletic on Wednesday to win over the Seattle Mariners. The Athletics are on a 2 game losing streak right now, both of those losses coming against the Mariners in this series. The A's had a bit of a lead over them for the Wild Card but are now tied after dropping those games. Both teams are now 3 games out of the Wild Card which makes these last 2 games even more important. Cole Irvin (10-13, 4.94 ERA) is starting and he has been playing well since getting blown up on the mound 3 starts ago. He has allowed 2 runs and 1 run in his last 2 starts and has gone deep into those games as well, at least the 6th inning in both. The Mariners are riding a 3 game winning streak coming into this one but I think their good fortune has run out here. Chris Flexen (12-6, 3.66 ERA) is starting and he has not looked good lately. He has allowed 9 total runs in his last 3 starts. Not only that, but he has allowed 4+ hits in each of his last 12 starts and allowing a lot of hits in a game has been a common theme for him all season. If the A's get that many hits off of him and get on base they are going to make the Mariners pay here. They have a Wild Card position on the line so I expect them to come out and get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Athletics. |
|||||||
09-21-21 | Mets +130 v. Red Sox | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Mets. I like the New York Mets to beat the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The Mets are 6 games behind Atlanta for the NL East and they are 7.5 games out of the Wild Card. They had lost 5 in a row before winning on Sunday. The Red Sox are still fighting in a tight race for a Wild Card and I like the Mets to play spoiler here. Marcus Stroman (9-12, 2.88 ERA) has been a reliable pitcher all season. He only allows 3+ runs every one and a while and usually they are no more than 4 runs. Only 3 of his last 12 starts has had 3 or 4 earned runs for him. Eduardo Rodriguez (11-8, 5.00 ERA) has not been the greatest this season and he has been getting touched a lot in his last few starts. The Red Sox have won 5 in a row and I think that streak ends here. Stroman is going to pitch a lights out game and shut down the Red Sox. All there is left for them to do is spoil and that starts here with a win over Boston on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mets. |
|||||||
09-20-21 | Orioles v. Phillies -1.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5. I like the Philadelphia Phillies on the runline against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Phillies have just 1 loss in their last 5 and 2 of those have been by 2+ runs. Ranger Suarez (6-4, 1.50 ERA) is starting and he has pitched in 36 different games this season, both as a starter and as a reliever. He has only allowed more than 2 runs in 1 of those appearances all year. The Orioles are currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing all of those by 2+ runs. John Means (5-7, 3.41 ERA) is starting for Baltimore and they have not won in his last 8 starts. The Phillies are playing much better right now and they really need to win every game here. Theyit just 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot but they are also just 2 games behind the Braves for the division lead. They have a real chance to make the playoffs here with either route so I like them to turn it on in this game and win by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Phillies. |

09-19-21 | Indians v. Yankees OVER 8.5 | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indians/Yankees OVER. I am on the over in the Cleveland Indians vs New York Yankees game on Sunday. The Indians have some high scoring games lately. They have seen 8+ runs total in their last 4 games. Eli Morgan (2-7, 6.03 ERA) has also been involved in some high scoring affairs lately. His last 4 starts have seen 7+ runs total in them. He allowed 7 earned runs in his last time out and only played in a little more than 4 innings. Both of the 1st 2 games in this series both had 8+ runs in them. Gerrit Cole (15-7, 2.75 ERA) is starting and he has pitched well lately but his team has also been backing him up with lots of run support. The Yankees lost 11-3 to the Indians yesterday and have now put them in a position where they sit on the outside looking in just a half game out of the wildcard position. They will be looking to avenge that big loss and ensure they win this game with lots of runs to help boost their playoff chances. I like this game to go over the total here. T.M. Prediction: 10-4 Yankees. |

09-18-21 | White Sox -1.5 v. Rangers | 1-2 | Loss | -130 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox +1.5. I like the Chicago White Sox on the run line against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The White Sox had lost 2 games in a row before pounding the Rangers 8-0 on Friday night. Lance Lynn (10-4, 2.50 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and he will be pitching up against his old team in this game. Lynn has been having a very good season this year. He has had a few blowups but for the most part he has been a solid pitcher who does not allow many runs. He has allowed more than 1 run in a game just once in his last 4 starts. The Rangers have lost their last 3 games by 5+ runs in each. Spencer Howard (0-4, 7.38 ERA) is starting and he has not been good. There has been 2 occasions in his last 3 starts where he allowed 5+ runs in the game. This game is in Texas and I think Lance Lynn is going to put on a show in front of his old team here. I like the White Sox to win this one by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 White Sox. |
|||||||
09-17-21 | Mariners v. Royals +1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -155 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Royals +1.5. I like the Kansas City Royals on the run line against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. The Royals have now lost 2 games straight but they put in a very good effort against the A's. They lost 2 of the 3 games in that series but still put up 10 runs themselves in 2 of those. They were really trying to spoil the A's playoff hopes and with the Mariners slipping a bit now 4 games out of a wild card spot, they will be looking to spoil here as well. Brady Singer was supposed to get the start here, but he's out for undisclosed reasons and Jon Heasley will get his big league debut here. He's been amazing in the minors, as he's posted a 3.33 ERA and 120:34 K:BB in 105.1 innings across 22 starts at Double-A this season. The Mariners just took a big hit to their playoff hopes losing a very important series to the Red Sox. Chris Flexen (11-6, 3.73 ERA) is starting and he has now had 2 shaky starts in a row, allowing 3 earned runs and 5 earned runs in his last 2 starts. With the pressure mounting for them as the season closes, they now have to win this series on the road to have a chance. I like the worry free Royals here on the run line to get the upset win at home. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Royals. |
|||||||
09-16-21 | Padres +1.5 v. Giants | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres +1.5. I like the San Diego Padres on the run line against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. The Padres finally got a win yesterday snapping their 5 game losing streak and avoiding the sweep from these Giants. They scored 9 runs in that game which was needed from their offense as they have been falling lately and are currently not in a wildcard spot. They are on the outside looking in just 1 game behind the Cardinals and have a half game lead over the Reds. Pierce Johnson (3-3, 2.98 ERA) is starting for the Padres and this will be his 2nd start of the season as the Padres will be using the bullpen in this one. Kevin Gausman (14-5, 2.65 ERA) is up for the Giants and he has allowed 3 runs in each of his last 2 starts. I expect him to get beat up on the mound today now that the Padres have found their bats. This is a desperate team right now and will need to do everything they can making sure they win every game for the rest of the season if they want to see themselves in the postseason. I like them to win here or at least keep it close so I am on the run line in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Padres. |
|||||||
09-15-21 | A's -135 v. Royals | Top | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland Athletics. I like the Oakland Athletics to beat the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The A's have now lost 3 games straight and they desperately need a win here as they find themselves 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot. Sean Manaea (9-9, 3.79 ERA) is starting for them and he has been solid lately. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 2 starts and was awarded with a win in his last time out. The Royals have lost just 1 game in their last 5 but I think it's time for the spoiling to stop here. They are way out of playoff contention and will have Mike Minor (8-12, 5.05 ERA) starting in this game. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 2 starts but he allowed 3+ in each of his 5 straight starts before that and that has been a common theme for him all year. The Royals have actually lost the last 7 straight games that Minor has pitched in. This is a must win for the A's as they cannot afford to fall any further behind in this wildcard race. I like them to win this game and defeat the Royals on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Athletics. |
|||||||
09-15-21 | Rays v. Blue Jays -165 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. The Blue Jays lost in their last game 2-0 to the Rays after winning 4 games straight. That was just their 2nd loss in the month of September. Robbie Ray (11-5, 2.69 ERA) is starting here and he has been solid all year for the Jays. He has been credited with 3 straight wins when there was a decision and has only allowed more than 2 runs scored against him once in his last 9 starts, that being his last start where he allowed 3 runs. The Rays took game 2 of this series but that was just their 2nd win in their last 6 games. Michael Wacha (3-4, 5.37 ERA) is starting for them and he has been good in his last 3 starts but that actually ended a run where he was allowing 4+ runs per game. The Rays have cooled off a bit lately, despite getting the win yesterday, they have scored just 3 runs in their last 2 games. The Jays have been doing something incredible lately, not counting yesterday they have scored 52 runs in just 4 games and that good hitting run stretches back even further over the past few weeks. The Jays are hot right now and are looking to hold down a wildcard spot while the Rays pretty much have the division locked up here. I have to ride the Blue Jays here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
09-14-21 | Reds -154 v. Pirates | 5-6 | Loss | -154 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds. I like the Cincinnati Reds to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The Reds have just lost 2 very important games to the Cardinals and now sit in the final wildcard position with a 0.5 game lead over the Padres. They are playing a very bad Pirates team and must take advantage here getting every single win they can against them as the regular season winds down. Wade Miley (12-5, 2.89 ERA) is starting for the Reds and he has been pretty good. Besides 1 bad start in his last 5, he has not allowed more than 2 runs in a game in that span. The Pirates have just 2 losses in their last 6 but they were playing the Tigers and the Nats, not the best teams in the league. Cincinnati is the first playoff contender they have seen in over a week. Dillon Peters (0-2, 3.38 ERA) is starting for the Pirates and he has played in just 4 games all season. He allowed 5 runs in his last 2 starts and did not make it past the 5th inning in any of his starts this year. The Reds are a much better team and they need all of these wins in this series. The Pirates are 1 of the worst teams in the MLB so i like the Reds to win here and keep their playoff hopes alive. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Reds. |
|||||||
09-14-21 | Indians v. Twins -117 | 3-1 | Loss | -117 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins. I like the Minnesota Twins to beat the Cleveland Indians in game 1 of the double header on Tuesday. The Twins have just 1 win in their last 5 and they blew a 5 run lead to the Yankees going on to lose in their last game. They faced Cleveland about a week ago in a 4 game series and they took 3 of those games. Joe Ryan (1-1, 2.25 ERA) is starting and he has only played in 2 MLB games in his career this season. His last start was against the Indians and he got credit for the win as he went on to allow no earned runs in that game and just the 1 hit. The Indians were just swept by the Brewers with their last win coming against the Twins, that being their only win in their last 7 games. Triston McKenzie (4-6, 4.44 ERA) is starting and he has been decent lately. His last start was against the Twins and he allowed 1 run on 3 hits and was credited with the loss in that one. The Indians have not looked good at all lately while the Twins are at least scoring some runs. They already won the series against them last week 3 games to win and I think the Twins are taking this game 1 on Tuesday as well. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Twins. |
|||||||
09-13-21 | Red Sox v. Mariners +115 | 4-5 | Win | 115 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners. I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The Mariners have lost 2 in a row now after winning 2 in a row. Logan Gilbert (5-5, 5.10 ERA) is starting for them and he has pitched well in his last 2 starts. He has only allowed 2 earned runs in his last 2 starts. The Red Sox have not been playing well lately. They have now only put together 2 wins in 7 games. Eduardo Rodriguez (11-8, 5.15 ERA) is starting in this game and he has struggled in his last few starts. He has allowed 14 earned runs in his last 4 starts. He allowed 6 of those in his last start and I expect him to have another bad game here as the pressure starts to build for the Red Sox. Seattle is just 3 games out of a wildcard spot and will come to play hard for this win. The Red Sox are in the 2nd wild card spot now as the Jays have passed them and they will be struggling to cling to that with the way they are playing now. The Mariners take the win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Mariners. |
|||||||
09-13-21 | Cardinals v. Mets UNDER 8 | 7-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mets/Cardinals UNDER. I am on the under in the St. Louis Cardinals vs New York Mets game on Monday. The Cardinals have had 3/4 games go under in their last 4. Adam Wainwright (15-7, 2.98 ERA) is starting for them and he has been great all year. He got blown up a bit in his last start allowing 4 earned runs but he has been solid this season allowing no more than 2 earned runs in 6 starts straight before that. The Mets have gone over in every game of their last series against the Yankees but i don't expect that to continue here as they had some low scoring games in the 2 series prior to that. Rich Hill (6-6, 3.82 ERA) is starting for them and he has been great since coming over from the Rays. He has only allowed more than 3 runs in 1/9 games he has started in for the Mets since joining. This will be a tense game as the Cards are just 1 game back of the wild card while the Mets are just 3 games out. This series becomes that much more important so this should be a pitching duel keeping this game under the total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Cardinals. |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Marlins v. Braves UNDER 8.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marlins/Braves UNDER. I am on the under in the Miami Marlins vs Atlanta Braves game on Sunday. The Marlins did go over in their last game but went under this posted total in 3 straight before that one. Edward Cabrera (0-1, 7.11 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Marlins and he has struggled in his 3 starts this year. He has only played in 3 games though so I expect him to put in a much better effort here and pitch a good game. The Braves have had quite a few games go over in their last 10 but I think that trend ends here. Max Fried (11-7, 3.42 ERA) is starting for the Braves and he has been great lately. He has only allowed 3+ runs on 1 occasion in his last 8 games. He also usually goes 6+ innings deep into the game so he will be sticking around for a while in this one especially if he is having a great game. I expect him to pitch very well here so I like the under in this one as it should be low scoring. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Braves. |
|||||||
09-12-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Indians | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers -1.5. I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline on Sunday over the Cleveland Indians. The Brewers have really started to destroy teams as we get closer to the playoffs with 3 of their last 4 games being won by 2+ runs. Brandon Woodruff (9-8, 2.48 ERA) is starting on the mound for them and he has been great all season. He struggled a bit in his last time out but I'm expecting a bounce back here. He has allowed 4+ runs on just 2 occasions in his last 10 starts. The Indians have not been playing well lately. They have just 1 win in their last 5, all 4 of those losses coming by 2+ runs. Aaron Civale (10-3, 3.25 ERA) is starting in this one and he has pitched well in his last 2 starts but he also had 3 rocky starts in his last 6 where he allowed 4+ runs. Woodruff is more consistent at the moment and the Brewers are hitting the ball very well scoring 13 runs already in just 2 games of this series against Cleveland. The Indians have only been able to put up 3 runs this series and all came in 1 game, getting shutout completely in their last. I like the Brewers -1.5 here. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Brewers. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Angels v. Astros UNDER 9 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Angels/Astros UNDER. I am on the under in the LA Angels and Houston Astros game on Saturday. The Angels have gone over the posted total in their last 2 games and I think that ends here. Jose Suarez (6-7, 3.74 ERA) and he has been pitching well lately. Only 1 game in his last 5 has gone over the total. He has also allowed more than 2 runs in just 1 of his last 5 games. The Astros have also gone over this posted total in their last 4 games. Luis Garcia (10-6, 3.29 ERA) is starting in this one and he has been pitching well lately. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in a game in his last 6 starts. Both of these pitchers have had some good starts in their last few and I think they will both have a good game here. I expect both of these little over streaks to come to an end as this game stays under the total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Astros. |
|||||||
09-10-21 | Reds -119 v. Cardinals | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds. I like the Cincinnati Reds to beat the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. The Reds have won just 1 game in their last 4 but I expect them to bounce back in this game. They are on the hunt for that last wildcard spot and need to get some wins in this series to gain that ground, especially with the Cardinals being just a few games back from them this series becomes that much more important. Tyler Mahle (11-5, 3.76 ERA) is their starter for this game and they have had lots of success with him on the mound this season. The Cardinals just snapped a 4 game losing streak with 2 wins over the Dodgers. Jon Lester (5-6, 4.89 ERA) is starting and he has played well since coming over to the Cardinals. The Reds have a better bullpen though, and if it comes down to it they will be able to win this game late with good pitching. I like the Reds to win here as they look to make the playoffs. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Reds. |
|||||||
09-10-21 | Brewers -1.5 v. Indians | 10-3 | Win | 110 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers -1.5. I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline against the Cleveland Indians on Friday. The Brewers have lost 1 game in their last 5 with 2 of those wins coming by 2+ runs. Adrian Houser (8-6, 3.41 ERA) and he has been on a roll lately. He has only had 1 game in his last 6 starts where he allowed more than 1 run and he is coming off a 9 inning shutout in his last start. I expect him to continue that great pitching in this game. The Indians are coming off a win but they had lost their 3 games before that all of them by 2+ runs. Eli Morgan (2-6, 5.48 ERA) is starting for Cleveland and he has struggled this season. He did not allow any runs in his last start but he did walk 4 batters and that will get him into trouble here against a good hitting Brewers team. The Brewers are much better and I expect them to win this game by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Brewers. |
|||||||
09-09-21 | Twins v. Indians OVER 8.5 | 1-4 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Twins/Indians OVER. I am on the over in the Minnesota Twins vs Cleveland Indians game on Thursday . They have gone under in their last 3 straight and I expect that to change here. Randy Dobnak (1-7, 7.64 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has struggled all season. He allowed 5 earned runs in his last start and this has been a recurring them throughout his last 6 starts. The Indians have also gone under in their last 3 straight. Cal Quantrill (4-3, 3.15 ERA) is starting for the Indians. The last game he started in he allowed 5 earned runs as thta game shot over the total. I expect both of these pitchers to get beat up in this game so this one should fly over the total as both have not been pitching well lately. T.M. Prediction: 8-5 Indians. |
|||||||
09-08-21 | Blue Jays +108 v. Yankees | 6-3 | Win | 108 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M Selection: Blue Jays. I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the New York Yankees on Wednesday. The Blue Jays are rolling hot right now on a 6 game winning streak. They have already won 2 of the 4 games in this series and will be looking to win the series with this game. Alek Manoah (5-2, 3.63 ERA) and he has been having a decent year so far. The Jays have won the last 3 games he started in. He allowed 6 runs in his last start but the Jays still came away with the win in that one. I expect him to bounce back and pitch a good game here. The Yankees have hit a bit of a slump lately losing their last 4 games in a row. Luis Gil (1-0, 0.00 ERA) and he has not allowed a run all season but has only pitched in 3 games. The Yankees have lost 1 and won 2 when he has started. Both teams have rookie pitchers starting but Manoah has played in a lot more MLB games than Gil has and has that extra experience. The Jays are also hot with their bats so I expect them to continue to roll and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
09-07-21 | Phillies v. Brewers -100 | 0-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers. I lilke the Milwaukee Brewers to win against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. After winning 2 straight the Brewers fell 12-0 to the Phillies in the 1st game of this series. Eric Lauer (4-5, 3.43 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has been pitching great lately. He has not allowed 3+ runs in any of his last 10 starts except on one occasion where he allowed exactly 3. The Phillies have now won 2 games in a row. Aaron Nola (7-7, 4.54 ERA) is starting on the mound and he has ben awful this season. He allowed 6 earned runs in 4 innings played in his last start. He has had some good games this season but most of the time he allows 4+ runs in his games. The Brewers are a much better team here and they have a big advantage with the starting pitching matchup here. They will come away with the win in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Brewers. |
|||||||
09-07-21 | Blue Jays +1.5 v. Yankees | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Blue Jays +1.5. I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline against the New York Yankees on Tuesday. The Jays have won 5 in a row now. Steven Matz (10-7, 3.80 ERA) is starting on the mound and he has been really good lately. He has not allowed 2+ runs in any of his last 6 starts. The Yankees have lost 3 in a row now and their last win was by 1 run run so their last 4 games the +1.5 against them has cashed. Gerrit Cole (14-6, 2.73 ERA) is starting for the Yankees and he has also been good lately. He has not allowed more than 1 run in his last 4 starts. The Blue Jays are hitting well and winning games right now while the Yankees are in a losing slump. Both of these pitchers are pitching very well right now not allowing many runs. This will stay a close game if the Jays don't outright win it. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Yankees. |
|||||||
09-06-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Cardinals | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dodgers runline (8* MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. This is a major mismatch, both on the mound and at the plate. In fact, I say the talent discrepancy between these starting pitchers absolutely warrants in laying the 1.5 runs on the Dodgers on the runline option. Miles Mikolas has a decent 14 to 5 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 16.1 innings of work. He gave up four runs over three innings to the Reds in his last outing though. Clearly, the sample size is too small for Mikolas this season to come to any conclusive conclusions. Max Scherzer on the other hand has posted a 1.29 ERA, a 0.77 WHIP and a 50 to 5 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 35 innings for his new team, going 4-0 in that span. Enough said! The play is LA on the runline! T.M. Prediction: 7-2 LA. |
|||||||
09-06-21 | Blue Jays +119 v. Yankees | Top | 8-0 | Win | 119 | 5 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays (10* TRADE-MARK). Do or die. Now or never. Use whatever cliche phrase you want, but this is a truly massive series for the Toronto Blue Jays. The two teams ahead of them in the standings for the Wildcard spot are the A's and the Yanks, and Toronto just swept Oakland at home over the weekend. New York has been trending in the other direction of late, as it's lost seven of its last ten, including two in a row. Both Jays' starter Hyun-Jin Ryu and Yanks' starter Jameson Taillon have struggled in August. Let's call these starters a "wash." But at this point of the season, I think that momentum is a very real, almost tangible factor and I expect it to be the difference-maker in the opener of this series. The value may swing the other way if Toronto wins tonight, but that's the way I see the opener of this one breaking down. A really strong situational play here, one worthy of my top 10* signature TRADE-MARK designation! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Jays. |
|||||||
09-05-21 | Astros v. Padres +100 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres I like the San Diego Padres to beat the Houston Astros on Sunday. After putting up 2 weak performances the Padres finally looked good with a 10-2 win against Houston in their last game. Chris Paddack (7-6, 4.98 ERA) is starting for the Padres and he has been pretty solid lately. The Padres have won their last 4 games with him starting. He has only allowed 4 runs in his last 3 games. The Astros have not been playing well lately with just the 1 win in 4 games. Luis Garcia (10-6, 3.23 ERA) is starting for the Astros and the team has won their last 5 with him starting. Those games were against some weaker hitting teams though. Now the Padres have started to find their bats and he should be in for a beating today. I like the Padres to win this one as they have fallen off a bit and need a win here to get themselves in a better position to get a wildcard spot. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. |
|||||||
09-05-21 | Orioles v. Yankees OVER 9.5 | 8-7 | Win | 100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Orioles/Yankees Over. I am on the over in the Baltimore Orioles vs New York Yankees game on Sunday. The Orioles have played 2 games in this series against the Yankees and both have ended with exactly 7 runs scored total in each. Keegan Akin (2-8, 6.90 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Orioles today and he has not been good this season. He was credited with wins in his last 2 starts, 1 of those games being a 13-1 victory. He only allowed 1 run in each of those games but that has not been the case for most of his starts all year and I think he is due for another awful start. Corey Kluber (4-3, 3.61 ERA) is starting for the Yankees in this one. His last start had plenty of runs in it as his team lost 8-7. He allowed 5 of those runs and has been shaky lately allowing 2 runs in just 3 innings the game before that. I think that Akin is bound to get blown up again and Kluber has not been reliable this season. Both of these teams have shown they can put up lots of runs over the past week so I like this one to go over. T.M. Prediction: 10-5 Yankees. |

09-04-21 | White Sox -158 v. Royals | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 15 h 30 m | Show | |
I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The White Sox had their 3 game winning streak snapped by the Royals in game 1 of this series. They will be looking to get this game back here. Reynaldo Lopez (3-1, 1.54 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and he has been good this season. The team has lost just once in his last 4 starts and he has only allowed runs in 1 game in his last 5 starts. The Royals snapped a 4 game losing streak with their win over the White Sox. Daniel Lynch (4-3, 4.47 ERA) is starting and he has been alright this year. His team has won the last 5 games he has made an appearance in. He has only allowed 1 run in each of his last 3 starts. The White Sox are just more talented and consistent with their play and should be able to bounce back in this game. T.M. Prediction 6-3 White Sox. |

09-03-21 | Cardinals v. Brewers UNDER 7.5 | 15-4 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brewers/Cardinals UNDER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). These teams struggle to plate runs on the best of nights, but with these two red hot starters going head-to-head, I have a hard time seeing any offense whatsoever in this one. The Brewers see Freddy Peralta (9-3, 2.45 ERA) toe the slab. He returns to action after a short break to limit his inning count. He's 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA on the road. Adam Wainwright is 13-7 with a 2.97 ERA for the Cardinals, and 6-2 with a 3.68 ERA on the road. Look for these two studs to grab all the headlines in tomorrow's summaries; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Milwaukee. |

09-03-21 | Orioles v. Yankees OVER 9 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Yankes/Orioles OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Yankees won't be taking this series at home against the Orioles for granted. Here's a great opponent to try and get the home sweep over as New York looks to gain ground on the now scuffling Rays, while also distancing itself from Toronto. Nestor Cortes (2-2, 2.77 ERA), gave up three runs in a loss over five innings to the A's on Saturday. Cortes has struggled to pitch late into games and that trend is almost certainly going to happen again here. The Orioles see John Means (5-6, 3.46) take the hill. He most recently gave up two runs over six innings in a no-decision to the Rays on Saturday. Previous to that Means had dropped three straight after returning from a stint on the IL. I say the book is still out on him. With both starters exiting early, look for this one to fly over the number sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 7-6 New York. |

09-02-21 | Pirates v. Cubs -150 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
I am on the over in the Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates game on Thursday. The Pirates had 9 total runs scored in their last game. Mitch Keller (4-10, 6.75 ERA) is starting for the Pirates and he has been awful this season. His last start saw 18 total runs in that game. He allowed 7 runs in his last start and just 2 of his last 5 starts he has allowed less than 4 runs scored against in a game. The Cubs have gone under in 2 straight games now but before that they had 3/4 games have 10+ runs scored by a single team. Keegan Thompson (3-3, 3.09 ERA) is starting and he has seen some high scoring ones lately. His last start ended in a 17-13 loss for his team. He has had 3/4 starts have 10+ runs in his last 4. Both pitchers have been struggling lately and the bullpens for these teams are not very good. There should be lots of runs scored in this one to shoot it over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 8-6 Cubs. |

09-01-21 | Brewers +144 v. Giants | 5-2 | Win | 144 | 12 h 25 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to upset the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. The Brewers are currently on a 3 game win streak, taking the 1st 2 games of this series. Brett Anderson (4-8, 4.27 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has lost his last 3 starts. He has allowed 12 runs in his last 3 starts averaging 4 runs per game allowed in those ones. He is due for a bounce back game here. The Giants are currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing the 1st 2 games of this series. Kevin Gausman (12-5, 2.49 ERA) is starting for the Giants in this one. He has been credited with 3 straight wins when there was a decision made. His team lost in the last game he started in and he allowed 2 runs on 6 hits managing to only get 2 Ks in the entire game. The Brewers are rolling right now as they hold a big lead for 1st place in the NL Central. The Giants, however, have been slipping lately and are about to fall out of 1st in the NL West as the Dodgers are a half game behind. I think they will continue to fall here and lose their 1st place spot as the Brewers are rolling hot right now. Brewers win this one. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Brewers. |

09-01-21 | Rockies v. Rangers OVER 8.5 | 9-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Colorado Rockies vs Texas Rangers game on Wednesday. The Rockies have been on a little under streak lately staying under in their last 5 straight. Kyle Freeland (5-6, 4.17 ERA) is starting for the Rockies and he has been alright this year. His last 3 starts have stayed under but the 2 starts before that both saw 13 runs scored and that was just for his team alone in each game. He has been solid in his last 3 but that won't last for long as he has been allowing quite a bit of hits lately. The Rangers have stayed under in the 2 games of this series but in their last game against the Astros that one shot way over. Kohei Arihara (2-3, 6.59 ERA) is starting for the Rangers and he has not been good this year. His last start flew over as his team won 9-8. He has also allowed at least 5 runs in each of his last 3 starts for them. Between this awful pitching from the Arihara and the shaky bullpens of both teams, there will be plenty of runs here shooting this one over the total. T.M. Prediction: 9-5 Rockies. |
|||||||
08-31-21 | Cubs v. Twins -154 | 3-1 | Loss | -154 | 16 h 56 m | Show | |
I like the Minnesota Twins to beat the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The Twins have been on a little roll lately picking up 3 wins in 4 games. John Gant (4-8, 4.00 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has lost his last 2 starts. He allowed 4 ERs in each of those games but has been pretty good in the relief appearances he made before that. The Cubs have been doing the opposite of the Twins lately picking up 3 losses in 4 games. Zach Davies (6-10, 5.00 ERA) is starting for the Cubs and he has not been good getting credited with 4 straight losses now. He has struggled lately as 4/6 starts for him in his last 6 have had 4+ runs scored against him. The Twins have been playing much better than the Cubs lately and Gant has been more consistent when he appears in games. I like the Twins to get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Twins. |
|||||||
08-31-21 | Orioles v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 52 m | Show | |
I like the Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays game to go over on Tuesday. They have had 6/7 of their last 7 games see 9+ runs in them. In 4 of those games a single team has scored 10+ runs themselves. Keegan Akin (1-8, 7.26 ERA) is starting for the Orioles and he has been awful this season. He got a win in his last time out but before that his team lost 13 straight games with him starting. He has allowed tons of runs all year and will be in trouble here against a Blue Jays team that loves to hit the ball and put up the runs. The 1st game of this series had 10 runs as the Blue Jays won 7-3. Hyun Jin Ryu (12-7, 3.88 ERA) will be starting for the Jays and he has struggled lately. He allowed 7 runs in his last start and has been shaky allowing 4 and 7 again in 3/4 starts. The Jays can score lots of runs especially against a pitcher who has been so bad lately, Baltimore has also been putting up runs and if Ryu is going to be struggling again like he has lately, I like the over in this one as there should be lots of runs from both teams. T.M. Prediction: 13-7 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-30-21 | Brewers -137 v. Giants | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the San Francisco Giants on Monday. The Brewers snapped a 3 game losing streak on Sunday with a 6-2 win over the Twins. Corbin Burnes (8-4, 2.30) is starting for the Brewers and he has been great this year getting credited with 6 straight wins the last 6 games he was in where there was a decision. The team has also won in his last 7 starts. He was shaky in his last start allowing 4 earned runs, but the 3 games before that he only allowed 1 total. The Giants had their 4 game win streak snapped in the last series and have now won just 1 of their last 3 games. They did not put up any runs at all in their last game getting shutout 9-0 to the Braves. Johnny Cueto (7-6, 3.73 ERA) is starting for the Giants and he has been good all season. The team has won 3 of the last 4 games he has started in. He has allowed 5 runs in his last 3 games but none at all in his last start. Both pitchers have been pretty solid but the Brewers offense has been better in the last few games so I am backing them to get the win here as they look for a playoff spot. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Brewers. |
|||||||
08-30-21 | Twins v. Tigers OVER 9 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Minnesota Twins vs Detroit Tigers game on Monday. The Twins have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately. They have had 9/10 games see 8+ runs in their last little stretch, most of those seeing way more than 10 runs. Bailey Ober (1-2, 4.06 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has been alright lately. He did not allow a single run through 5 innings in his last start yet that game still ended 9-6 going way over the total. The Tigers have been on a bit of an under streak as their last 8 games have seen 8 runs total or less. Casey Mize (7-6, 3.55 ERA) is starting for the Tigers and he has been involved in some higher scoring games lately. His last 3 starts had 7+ runs in them. He has allowed 9 runs total in his last 4 starts. In his last 9 starts there have been 8 games with over 7 runs total, most of those going 10+. Even if both of these starters play well it is the bullpens for both teams that have been giving up tons of runs. I like this one to go well over the total here. T.M. Prediction: 10-7 Twins. |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Royals v. Mariners -160 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The Mariners have now lost their last 3 games in a row. Marco Gonzales (5-5, 4.13 ERA) is starting for the Mariners and he has been pitching well lately. The team has won their last 3 starts with him on the mound. He has allowed more than 2 earned runs in just 1 game in his last 7 starts. The Royals are on a 3 game win streak winning all 3 games of this series so far. Brady Singer (3-9, 5.07 ERA) is starting for the Royals. The team has won just 1 game in his last 5 starts. He has a allowed a total of 15 runs in his last 4 games averaging almost 4 runs per game. The Mariners have the better pitcher starting here and are still in the hunt for the playoffs needing to pick up a win here. I do not think that this team is going to get swept by the Royals in a 4 game series so I am taking the Mariners to get back on track here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Mariners. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Brewers -146 v. Twins | 4-6 | Loss | -146 | 14 h 56 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. The Brewers have now lost 2 in a row after winning 4 straight before that. Adrian Houser (7-5, 3.44 ERA) will be starting as the Brewers look to bounce back. His team has lost just 1 game in his last 11 starts. He has not allowed a single run scored against him in 3 of his last 4 games allowing a total of 1 run in that 4 game span. The Twins took game 1 of this series but they still have just 2 wins in 7 games. Charlie Barnes (0-3, 6.56 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has not been good this season. His team has won just 1 game in the 5 appearances he has made all season. He is coming off a game where he allowed 7 earned runs. The Twins are pretty much out while the Brewers are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Brewers have the much better pitching advantage here and will win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Brewers. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Royals v. Mariners -148 | 4-2 | Loss | -148 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
I like the Seattle Mariners to beat the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The Mariners have now lost 2 in a row after winning 3 straight. Tyler Anderson (6-8, 4.07 ERA) will be starting for the Mariners. The team has now won his last 3 starts. He has not had a game where he allowed more than 2 runs in his last 4. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in a game in his last 10 going back to his days on the Pirates. The Royals are currently on a 2 game win streak taking the 1st 2 games of this series. Daniel Lynch (4-3, 4.74 ERA) is starting here for the Royals. His team has won in his last 4 starts for them. He has allowed just 1 run in 3 of his last 4 starts. The Royals are not going to sweep the Mariners and Seattle is still looking to get into a wildcard spot while all hope seems lost for the Royals to get there. I like this game for the Mariners to bounce back and get a must needed win. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Mariners. |
|||||||
08-27-21 | Brewers -128 v. Twins | 0-2 | Loss | -128 | 15 h 52 m | Show | |
I like the Milwaukee Brewers to beat the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The Brewers just had a 4 game win streak snapped by the Reds on Thursday and they will be looking to get back on track in this one. Eric Lauer (4-4, 3.59 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has been pitching great lately. His team has the last 4 games that he started. He has only allowed more than 2 runs in a game in his last 8. The Twins have not been playing well lately as they have just 1 win in 6 games. Andrew Albers (0-0, 2.25 ERA) is starting for the Twins and he has only pitched in 1 game this year. He only allowed 1 run on 2 hits as his team went on to lose that game to the Yankees. With not much to go on this season it is hard to know what he will do in this one. Lauer has been pretty consistent lately and the Brewers are on fire as they lead their division while the Twins sit in last place of their division. I like the Brewers here to take care of business as usual. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Brewers. |
|||||||
08-26-21 | Yankees -110 v. A's | 7-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
I like the New York Yankees to beat the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. The Yankees have definitely kicked it into high gear currently on an 11 game win streak. Jameson Taillon (8-4, 3.94 ERA) is starting for the Yankees and he has been pitching great. He has been credited with 7 straight wins and his team has only lost 1 game in his last 11 starts. He has not allowed more than 3 runs in his last 8 starts and should be able to shut down the A's lineup as he has been so great. The Athletics have been in a little slump lately currently on a 4 game losing streak. James Kaprielian (7-4, 3.25 ERA) is on the mound for the A's and he has been good as well. His team has won his last 3 starts, but he allowed 6 runs in the game right before that. The Yankees are just too hot right now to step in front of and Taillon has been more consistent. Yankees take this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Yankees. |
|||||||
08-26-21 | White Sox v. Blue Jays -103 | 10-7 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
I like the Toronto Blue Jays to beat the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. The Blue Jays have already picked up 2 of the 4 games in this series with the White Sox, including a 3-1 win over them in the previous game. Hyun Jin Ryu (12-6, 3.54 ERA) is starting for the Jays and he has been real solid lately. The Jays have just 1 loss in his last 8 starts. He has allowed 11 runs in his last 3 games, but he turned that around in his last one allowing no runs through 7 innings. The White Sox have just 1 win in their last 5 games. Carlos Rodon (9-5, 2.38 ERA) is starting for the White Sox and they have actually lost 2 of his last 3 starts. He allowed 6 runs in 2 games but pitched a shut out through 5 innings in his last. The White Sox are in a comfy 1st place of their division while the Blue Jays are still in the hunt for a wildcard spot. I like the Blue Jays to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jays. |

08-26-21 | Angels v. Orioles OVER 10.5 | 1-13 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the Los Angeles Angels vs Baltimore Orioles game on Thursday. The Angels have had a single team score at least 10 runs in each of their last 2 games played. They have also seen 4 games in their last 6 that had 10+ runs total in it. Jaime Barria (2-2, 5.87 ERA) is starting for the Angels and he has not been good lately. His team has lost his last 3 starts and the last 2 have had 10+ runs total in them. He has allowed 11 runs in those 3 games. The Orioles have had their last 2 games see 10+ runs total, both of them in this series. They have Keegan Akin (0-8, 7.92 ERA) starting and he has been awful this season. In 18 appearances this season, his team has lost 17 of them. He has allowed 12 earned runs in his last 3 starts and this has been a common theme for him all season. Both of these teams have had their bats wake up in this series and now there is a battle between 2 bad pitchers. This one is going to fly over the total. T.M Prediction: 11-7 Angels. |
|||||||
08-25-21 | Dodgers v. Padres UNDER 8 | 5-3 | Push | 0 | 21 h 10 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres game on Wednesday. The Dodgers have been in some lower scoring games lately as 4 of their last 5 have stayed under 8 total runs, with just 1 game seeing 9 runs in that span. Walker Buehler (13-2, 2.11 ERA) has been amazing allowing very little runs in his starts this season. Of his last 4 starts, 3 of them stayed under this posted total. He has not allowed 3+ runs against him in 8 straight games and has only given up more than 3 runs on 2 occasions this season. The Padres have also seen some lower scoring games lately with 3 of their last 4 staying under 8 runs. Blake Snell (6-5, 4.82 ERA) has given up 6 runs in his last 4 games and has not given up more than 3 in that span. Both of these pitchers have found a good streak lately and I expect that to continue here as both teams are looking to secure a playoff spot. This one will stay under with the quality of pitchers on the mound. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Dodgers. |

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

08-24-21 | Reds v. Brewers -1.5 | 4-7 | Win | 120 | 15 h 35 m | Show | |
I am on the Milwaukee Brewers runline against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. The Brewers are currently on a 2 game win streak winning both of those games by 2+ runs. Their last 4 wins have all been by 2+ runs. Corbin Burnes (8-4, 2.13 ERA) will be starting for the Brewers and he has been great this season. The team has won the last 6 times he has started in the game. He has allowed just 1 earned run in his last 3 starts. The Reds have been hot currently on a 4 game win streak but I think that will end here for them. Tyler Mahle (10-4, 3.78 ERA) will be starting and he has 2 of his last 3 starts. He is coming off a game where he allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits. The Brewers have the better pitcher in this one and Burnes will be able to shut the Reds down. Brewers win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Brewers. |

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

08-24-21 | Mariners v. A's UNDER 8.5 | 5-1 | Win | 105 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics game on Tuesday. After 4 straight games of having 9+ runs in them, the Mariners finally had less than 9 in the series opener on Monday. Chris Flexen (10-5, 3.65 ERA) is starting and his last start went way over the number. He has been pitching well himself though, averaging less than 2 runs allowed per game in his last 4 starts. The A's have had their last 2 games in a row stay under 9 runs total. Cole Irvin (9-11, 3.57 ERA) and his last 3 starts have gone over this posted total. He has also been good though, averaging about 2 earned runs per game in his last 4 starts. Both of these starting pitchers have pitched well despite the high scoring games. I expect this one to stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Athletics. |
|||||||
08-23-21 | Royals v. Astros -1.5 | 7-1 | Loss | -123 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
I like the Astros on the runline against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The Astros just had their 3 game win streak snapped on Sunday, but they had won each of those by 2+ runs. The Astros will be out for revenge here as they lost their last series to the Royals 3-1 just a few days ago. Zack Greinke (11-3, 3.43 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Astros and he has pitched well this year. He has been credited with 3 straight wins but his team has actually lost 3 games in his last 4 starts. He has only allowed 1 earned run in his last 13 innings of play and I expect that great form to continue here. The Royals have been on a great streak as they have just 1 loss in their last 7. Daniel Lynch (3-3, 5.12 ERA) is starting for the Royals and he has been having a good debut season. His team has won his last 3 starts and he has allowed 5 earned runs in that span. In his last start, he face this Astros team and allowed just 1 run through 7 innings as he picked up the win for his team. Now that the Astros have seen him pitch, I expect a much different result in this game. They will be looking to make up for that series loss they suffered and will want to make Lynch pay as he contributed to that. The astros win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. |
|||||||
08-23-21 | White Sox v. Blue Jays -101 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
I like the Blue Jays to beat the Chicago White Sox on Monday. The Blue Jays have hit a bit of a slump lately as they have just 1 win in 5 games. Alek Manoah (5-2, 3.34 ERA) and he has pitched well lately with his team winning 3 of his last 4 starts. He was blown up for 6 earned runs in his last start but that has not been the norm with him. In his 6 starts before that he had not allowed more than 2 runs in each in 5 starts. The White Sox have not been any better lately as they have just 1 win in 4 games. Lance Lynn (10-3, 2.26 ERA) will be starting and he has pitched well with his team losing just 1 game in his last 8 starts. He has only allowed 3+ runs on 2 occasions in his last 9 starts. I think Lynn is due for a let down here while Manoah bounces back in this one. Blue Jays win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-22-21 | White Sox v. Rays UNDER 9 | 0-9 | Push | 0 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays game on Sunday. The White Sox have had 9+ runs scored total in their last 3 straight. I think that ends here in this one. Reynaldo Lopez (2-0, 1.08 ERA) is starting for the White Sox. He has had a great season allowing just 3 earned runs in 11 appearances this year. In his last start he shutout the A's through 5 innings. The Rays have had 9+ runs scored total in 15 games in a row now. That is bound to come to an end here against a solid starter for the White Sox. Chris Archer (0-1, 6.23 ERA) will be starting for the Rays here. He has only played in 2 games this season allowing 3 earned runs total. In his last start he did not allow a run at all through 2 innings played. The Rays have been on a crazy over streak that is bound to end soon. The White Sox have a very good pitcher on the mound. This should be a low scoring game that stays under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Rays. |

08-21-21 | Phillies v. Padres -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
I like the San Diego Padres on the runline against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The Padres are on a 4 game losing skid. They have mustered up just 1 win in 9 games. They will be looking to turn things around here. Joe Musgrove (8-8, 3.11 ERA) is starting for the Padres in this one. His team has won 12 games this season when he has started this season. All but 2 of those wins were by 2+ runs. He allowed 6 earned runs in his last start. I think that was a bad game for him as he did not allow more than 2 in each game of his previous 4 starts. The Phillies just broke a 4 game losing skid with a win over the Padres. They have not been playing well either lately. Aaron Nola (7-7, 4.48 ERA) is starting for the Phillies. The team has lost 3 of the last 4 he started in. His team has lost 13 games this season when he has started. 10 of those losses were by 2+ runs. He has also allowed 9 earned runs in his last 3 starts. The Padres are the much better team here. I think it is time they get back on track in this one. Padres win by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. |

08-21-21 | Tigers v. Blue Jays OVER 9.5 | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
I like the over in the Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers game on Saturday. The Tigers have seen some high scoring games lately. Just 2 of their last 8 have had less than 10 runs in them. Wily Peralta (3-2, 3.70 ERA) is starting for the Tigers here. There have been 10+ runs in 3 of the last 4 games he has started in. He has allowed 17 runs in his last 5 games. He averages over 3 runs allowed per game in that span. The Blue Jays last game stayed under the total. The previous 4 all had 10+ runs in them though. Hyun Jin Ryu (11-6, 3.72 ERA) will be starting for the Jays here. The last 5 games he has started in have all see 9+ runs in them. He has been struggling lately, allowing 11 earned runs total in his last 2 starts. Both of these teams have been involved in some high scoring games lately and I expect that to continue here. I like this game to go over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Blue Jays. |

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

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

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

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

08-18-21 | Padres v. Rockies OVER 14 | 5-7 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
I am on the over in the San Diego padres vs Colorado Rockies game on Wednesday. The Padres have been involved in some high scoring games lately, their last 3 games having 10+ runs scored in them. Jake Arrieta (5-11, 6.88 ERA) will be making his Padres debut today, but he has not performed well in his last few games as a Cub. He was credited with 7 losses in a row and the Cubs have lost their last 7 when he started on the mound. He allowed 8 earned runs in his last game and has only had 2 games in his last 8 where he allowed less than 3 earned runs. The Rockies will be starting Chi Chi Gonzalez (3-6, 6.06 ERA) on the mound in this one and he has not had a good year either. The team has only won 2 games of the last 6 he has started in. In his last 4 starts, there were 12+ runs total in each of those games. He has allowed 14 earned runs total in his last 3 starts and has been blown up for more than 6+ runs in a game on multiple occasions this season. Both of these pitchers have struggled this season and, along with the Coors Field effect, I expect there to be plenty of runs in this game to get it over the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 10-7 Padres. |

08-17-21 | Brewers v. Cardinals UNDER 7.5 | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
I am on the under in the Milwaukee Brewers vs St. Louis Cardinals game on Tuesday. The Brewers went 3 games straight scoring 10+ runs themselves, but their bats have cooled down a bit as their last 2 games stayed under 7.5 runs total. Corbin Burnes (7-4, 2.23 ERA) will be starting on the mound for the Brewers and he has pitched very well in his last few games. The team has won their last 5 straight when he has started for them. He has only allowed more than 1 earned run in a game just once in his last 8 starts. The Cardinals have gone over 7.5 runs in their last 2 games, but now they run into a pitcher who has been hot. Adam Wainwright (11-6, 3.27 ERA) has also been pitching well this season. The team has won their last 5 games when he has started. There was only 1 occasion in his last 5 starts where he allowed more than 2 earned runs. Both of these pitchers have been pitching very well in their last few games so I expect this one to go under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Brewers. |

08-17-21 | Blue Jays -1.5 v. Nationals | 6-12 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 34 m | Show | |
I like the Toronto Blue Jays on the runline against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. After losing 3 straight games the Blue Jays came up with a big 8-3 win on Sunday. Alek Manoah (5-1, 2.59 ERA) is starting on the mound for the Blue Jays here and he has been having a godd season thus far. The team has won their last 3 games when he has started, all of them by 4+ runs. He has not allowed more than 2 runs in a game in his last 6 starts. The Nationals have not been playing well losing their last 7 games straight. Erick Fedde (4-8, 5.12 ERA) is starting for the Nationals here and he has been credited with 4 straight losses. He has allowed an average of 3+ runs in his last 8 starts for the Nats. The Nats have not been playing well and I expect that to continue here as the Jays beat up on them. Blue Jays win this one by -1.5 runs. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Blue Jays. |
