06-16-22 | Warriors v. Celtics UNDER 210.5 | Top | 103-90 | Win | 100 | 57 h 29 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics went into Game 5 saying that they weren't going to let Steph Curry beat them like he had in previous games. They did just that, keeping Curry under check and keeping Curry from hitting a 3-point shot for the first time in is playoff career. However, Wiggins went off on the Celtics and so did Thompson as other stepped in to lead Golden State to the win and cover in game 5. Tonight, the venue moves back to Boston as the Warriors can win the NBA Championship on the road here tonight. I have hit my last four NBA playoff selections including my last two NBA Totals. Tonight, I see another physical, low scoring game. I won't get involved with the line here tonight. Rather I'll be on the UNDER. |

I'll take the Celtics on the Money Line. |

06-16-22 | Phillies -1.5 v. Nationals | 10-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia Phillies trail the NY Mets in the NL East by 8.5-games as they sit at 32-31 overall. The Phillies won two of their three games vs Miami, including last night's contest 3-1. Today, they hit the road for a series at Washington. Zack Wheeler will get the start for the Phils today. Wheeler is 5-3 in his 11 starts with a 2.84 ERA. He has been very consistent, allowing three runs or fewer in each of his last eight starts. Washington looks to snap a four-game losing streak here today. They have also lost seven of their last nine games. Pat Corbin gets the start with a 3-8 record in his 13 starts and a 6.65 ERA. He's been hit hard, allowing four runs or more in four of his last six starts. I like Philly a lot today, so I'll have to lay the Run Line to get the price down. |

06-16-22 | Padres -1.5 v. Cubs | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
The Chicago Cubs continue their slide, now at a 9-game losing streak. They play their final game here today at Wrigley against the Padres after dropping the first two games by a combined 10-31 score! In fact, they have allowed 12 runs or more in three of their last four games. Matt Swarmer will make his fourth start of the season here today. Swarmer is 1-1 with a 4.24 ERA. He did allow six runs and seven hits in his last start at the Yankees. The Padres are in 1st place in the NL West, leading the Dodgers now by 1-game with a 40-24 record. In addition, the Padres have the best road record in baseball. Today they get their best pitcher on the hill in Joe Musgrove. Musgrove is 7-0 in his 11 starts with a 1.50 ERA. He has allowed just one run over his last four starts (27 innings). I'll lay the run line today with the Padres as they should win another blowout contest with the Cubs. |

06-15-22 | Angels v. Dodgers UNDER 9 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
The Freeway series begins game one tonight as the LA Dodgers host the LA Angels from Chavez Ravine. Both teams struggling, especially the Angels who have lost two straight and 17 of their last 19 games. The losing streak cost HC Joe Madden his job after 12 straight losses. The Angels will send Reid Detmers to the mount tonight. Detmers is 2-2 in his 10 starts with a 3.83 ERA. Detmers has been very good of late, allowing no runs over his last 8 2/3 Innings. The Dodgers fell out of first place by virtue of a 3-6 stretch their last nine games. One of their better pitchers will take the mound tonight in Tyler Anderson. Anderson is 6-0 in his nine starts with a 3.20 ERA. Anderson has been a bright spot for a Dodgers rotation that has been struggling with injuries this year. I'm going to take the UNDER here tonight in game one of the Freeway series. |

06-15-22 | Rays +130 v. Yankees | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
The Tampa Bay Rays can make up some ground in the AL East over the 1st place Yankees as they begin a 3-game series here tonight in New York. The Rays are 35-26, but still trail NY by 10-games. They also have to think about Wild Card too at this point and they trail 2nd place Toronto by just 1-game. The Rays most successful pitcher will go today in Shane McClanahan who is 7-2 in his 12 starts with a nifty 1.87 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 2-1 record in his three starts and a 1.47 ERA. McClanahan has won five straight starts! The Yankees bring a 5-game win streak into tonight's contest. New York will start Nestor Cortes who is 5-2 in his 11 starts with a 1.96 ERA. Cortes had one of his worst starts last time out, allowing seven hits and four runs over 4 1/3 innings to the Twins in a loss. Good live dog here today with the Rays who should be motivated to get this win with their best on the hill Play Tampa Bay. |

06-15-22 | Reds v. Diamondbacks UNDER 8.5 | 4-7 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
The Cincinnati Reds look to extend their modest win streak to four games here tonight by sweeping the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Reds have taken the first two games of this series 5-4 and then last night 5-3. Luis Castillo will take to the hill for the Reds with a 2-4 record in his seven starts and a 3.23 ERA. Castillo has been very consistent for the Reds, allowing three runs or fewer in six of his seven starts. Arizona has lost two straight and eight of their last 11 games. Zac Gallen has been very good this year with a 4-2 record in his 11 starts and a 2.95 ERA. He's been better at home with a 2-0 record in his six starts and a 2.57 ERA. Both pitchers are very good and I expect a low scoring game here this evening. Play UNDER. |

06-14-22 | Padres -128 v. Cubs | 12-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
The Padres have pulled back to a tied in 1st place in the NL West with the LA Dodgers. The Padres have won seven of their last 10 while the Dodgers are just 4-6 during the same span. The Padres still boast the best road record in baseball with a 21-11 mark. Sean Manaea will toe the rubber today for the Padres with a 3-3 record in his 11 starts and a 3.52 ERA. Manaea has been very good of late, allowing just two total runs over his last two starts (13 innings). The Cubs have been in free fall, losing seven straight games to drop to 23-37 on the season. Kyle Hendricks will start today for the Cubs with a 2-5 record in his 11 starts and a 5.22 ERA. Hendricks not having near the kind of season we are used to seeing from him in recent years. I'll be on the Padres today again. |

06-14-22 | Marlins v. Phillies -141 | Top | 11-9 | Loss | -141 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
The Miami Marlins look to snap a recent 2-game losing streak here today in game two of their set with the Phillies. They lost on Monday with their best pitcher on the mound, 2-3. Now they will send Trevor Rogers to the hill today. Rogers is 3-5 in his 11 starts with a 5.58 ERA. He's allowed seven earned runs over his last 8 2/3 innings of work. The Philadelphia Phillies finally got back over the .500 mark as they have won as they have won 10 of their last 11 games. Zach Eflin is just 2-4 with a 4.09 ERA but has won his last two starts with just one earned run allowed over 12 innings. Eflin has been very good at home too, going 2-1 in his five starts with a 1.16 ERA. I'll take the hot Phils today with a equally hot Eflin on the hill. |

06-13-22 | Celtics v. Warriors -165 | 94-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
Game 5 of the NBA Finals tonight as they move venues back to Northern Cal. The teams have traded punches thus far with Boston winning games one and three, both S/U and ATS. The two games that the Warriors won, game two and four, both also went under the total. The Warriors defense is what has gotten them wins and with that defense has come the under in the game too. Tonight, the winner will be down to winning one of the final two games. That makes this a pivotal contest for both teams, since neither team has won two-in a row yet. I look for this game to be very physical and low scoring. I have to give the edge here tonight to the home team and with that I'll be on Golden State with the MONEY LINE, just to WIN. |

06-13-22 | Marlins +120 v. Phillies | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
The Miami Marlins had their five game win streak snapped on Sunday by the Houston Astros, 9-4. The Marlins have improved to 27-31 in the NL East, still way behind the NY Mets. One of, it not the best, pitcher for the Marlins goes today in Sandy Alcantara. Alcantara is 6-2 in his 12 starts this year with a very good 1.61 ERA and 0.944 WHIP. Alcantara has not allowed a run over his last two starts (16 innings) and just three runs over his last six starts. The Phillies dropped back to the .500 mark with a loss on Sunday. They are still 9-games back of the Mets in the NL East. That loss on Sunday snapped a nine-game win streak for the Phillies. Aaron Nola will start today with a 4-4 record in his 12 starts and a 3.50 ERA. Nola rebounded from a poor 5-run performance vs the Giants with a nice eight inning, no runs outing vs the Brewers last start. I like Alcantara, he's very consistent and very good. Play Miami. |
|||||||
06-12-22 | Marlins v. Astros UNDER 7.5 | 4-9 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
The Miami Marlins have quietly built a five-game winning streak as they look to take the sweep on the road here today at Houston. They beat the Astros in game one, 7-4 and then again yesterday in game two, 5-1. Edward Cabrera will look to win again today after going 2-0 in his first two starts. Cabrera has a 0.75 ERA and 0.750 WHIP and has allowed just one earned run over his 12 innings of work. Cabrera and the Marlins will have their work cut out for them today against former Cy Young winner Justin Verlander. Verlander is 7-2 on the season with a 2.13 ERA and. 0.84 WHIP. Verlander had that one bad start on May 27th, allowing six runs and 10 hits over 6 innings to the Mariners. Other than that he has not allowed more than three runs in any of his other 10 starts. I look for this to be a low scoring game today and with that I'll be on the UNDER. |
|||||||
06-12-22 | Rays -113 v. Twins | Top | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show |
The Tampa Bay Rays have lost the first two games of this series with the Twins, 4-9 on Friday and 5-6 on Sunday. That drops them to 34-25 overall and a 1/2 game back of the Blue Jays for 2nd in the AL East. Before the two losses, the Rays had won six of the previous eight games. Jeffrey Springs will get the start today with a 1-2 record in his seven starts. Springs has a very nifty 2.12 ERA and 1.000 WHIP. He's allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last six starts since his opening start of three runs. Minnesota will look to Cole Sands to help them take the sweep here today. That might be a tough task though since Sands only has two starts and neither was any good. He allowed four runs over four innings to the Tigers and four runs over 3 2/3 innings to the Yankees for a 9.39 ERA. In addition, his WHIP is a very high 2.477. Tampa Bay is too good with too good of a pitcher today to get swept. Take Tampa Bay. |

06-12-22 | Orioles v. Royals OVER 9.5 | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 3 h 17 m | Show | |
Baltimore and Kansas City wrap up their four-game set here today with the Royals having won the first two games and the Orioles the game on Saturday, 6-4. Two of the three games of the series have gone over with the third just missing by one run. Dean Kremer will make his second start of the season here today for the O's. Kremer allowed five hits and three runs over 4 1/3 innings in his first game against Cleveland. The Royals will start Brad Keller here today. Keller is 1-7 in his 11 starts with a 4.18 ERA. Keller hasn't been very good, allowing three runs or more in each of his last six starts. I like this game to go OVER here today. |
|||||||
06-12-22 | Blue Jays v. Tigers +124 | 6-0 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
The Toronto Blue Jays are 10-games above the .500 mark at 34-24, however they still trail the NY Yankees in the AL East by 8.5 games. They will need a winning streak if they hope to get back close to the Yankees by the All-Star break. They have split the first two games with the Tigers, taking game one, 10-1, and then losing last night 1-3. Ross Stripling will get the start today for the Jays. Stripling is 1-1 in his six starts with a 3.46 ERA. Stripling has been good, but aslo has hit some rough patches. While the Tigers are 10-games under .500 with a 24-34 record, they might be one of the scrappiest teams in baseball. They have won three of their last four games including last night's win. They have their best pitcher on the mound here today in Tarik Skubal. Skubal is 5-2 in his 11 starts with a 2.06 ERA. The team is 4-1 in his five home starts with a 2.10 ERA. Skubal is going to have his team in the game and a s decent dog price here today, the Tigers are too much to pass on. Play Detroit. |

06-11-22 | Red Sox +117 v. Mariners | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
The Boston Red Sox had their seven game win streak snapped by the Angels on Thursday, 2-5. They came right back on Friday with a win in game one of this series with the Mariners, 4-3. Michael Wacha will start today for the Sox with a 4-1 record in his nine starts and a nifty 1.99 ERA. Wacha has not allowed a run over his last two starts (14 2/3 innings) with nine KO's and just one walk. The dropped to 26-32 with last night's loss to Boston. George Kirby will look to get back to winning ways today. Kirby is 1-1 in his six starts with a 3.38 ERA. I like the way Wacha has pitched over his last few games and I will take the visiting Boston club tonight. |

06-11-22 | Mets -122 v. Angels | Top | 6-11 | Loss | -122 | 20 h 39 m | Show |
The LA Angels snapped their 14-game losing streak by finally beating the Boston Red Sox in the final game of their set on Thursday, 5-2. That win streak was short lived though, as the Angels dropped game one of their series with the Mets on Friday, 7-3. Meanwhile, the Mets have a comfortable lead in the NL East at 39-21 and a 6.5-game lead over 2nd place Atlanta. The Mets will start Carlos Carrasco today who has been very good for the Mets. Carrasco is 7-1 in his 11 games for the Mets with a 3.37 ERA. The Angels will start Michael Lorenzen who is 5-3 in his nine starts and has a 3.69 ERA. Lorenzen has been roughed-up a bit of late, allowing eight runs over his last two starts (13 2/3 innings). I'm sticking with one of the best teams in the NL in the Mets here today against a slumping Angels team. Play New York. |

06-11-22 | A's v. Guardians -109 | 10-5 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 42 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's slide continues as questions surrounding their move to Las Vegas might gain momentum with attendance below that of even minor league teams. The A's lost to the Guardians on Friday, 2-3, making it 10-straight losses. Frankie Montas will try and get the team back in the win column today. Montas is 2-6 in his 12 starts with a 2.93 ERA. Montas hasn't been quite as good on the road where he is 1-2 in three starts with a 4.15 ERA. The Cleveland Guardians have won three straight games. They have also won nine of their last 11 games. Zach Plesac will start today for the Guardians. Plesac is 2-4 in his 10 starts with a 4.72 ERA. He's been better at home with a 3.10 ERA in his five starts. Even though Montas is the better pitcher, I will stay with Cleveland here today. |

06-10-22 | Warriors v. Celtics UNDER 214.5 | Top | 107-97 | Win | 100 | 18 h 21 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics jumped out to a big lead in game three of the NBA Finals, only to have Golden State rally in the third and take a lead entering the fourth quarter. However, like game one, the Warriors collapsed in the fourth quarter and Boston won going away to also cover the spread, 116-100. Thus far none of the three games have been close, with Boston winning game one by 12, Golden State game two by 19 and the Celtics game three by 16. Today, I'm looking at the under. Just one of the first three games have gone under and that was game two in Golden State, 88-107. First, Stephen Curry hurt his foot in game two and while he's probable today, have to wonder if that will effect his performance here today. 2nd, I'm looking for a much more physical game here in game four. That will mean fewer scoring opportunities. So far it's been over, under and then over. If the bounce comes right, we are looking at another under here in game four. Play the UNDER. |

First, Stephen Curry hurt his foot in game two and while he's probable today. The Warriors have proved they can come back from big deficits. They just need to get their act together in the fourth quarter. With the experience of this team and leadership of Curry, I can't see another fourth quarter collapse. I'll take the points here on Friday and won't be surprised by a straight-up win by Golden State. Take the Warriors. |

06-10-22 | Marlins v. Astros UNDER 8 | 7-4 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
Miami won last night in the final game of their set with Washington, 7-4. That meant the Marlins swept Washington in their three game set. Pablo Lopez will start today for the fish with a 4-2 record in his 11 starts. Lopez has a very nice 2.32 ERA and 0.970 WHIP. Lopez has been even better on the road with a 2-1 record in his five starts with a 1.41 ERA. The Astros had Thursday off as they begin 3-game set with Miami. Luis Garcia will toe the rubber today for the Astros. Garcia is 3-4 in his 10 starts with a 3.07 ERA. Garcia has pitched well of late, allowing two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts. Both pitchers appear to be in a groove right now and for me, I'll be on the UNDER today. Play UNDER. |

06-09-22 | Red Sox +107 v. Angels | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
The LA Angels are mired in a 14-game losing streak. They thought firing manager Joe Maddon might help after losing 12 in a row. But so far that hasn't done a thing with two more losses. Shoeie Ohtani will look to end the losing streak today. Ohtani is 3-4 in his nine starts this season with a 3.99 ERA. He has allowed nine runs over his last nine innings. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox have won seven straight games as they have moved up in the AL East division. Nick Pivetta will toe the rubber today for the Sox with a 5-4 record over his 11 starts and a 3.50 ERA. Pivetta has been very good of late, allowing just one run in his last two starts (13 innings). Moreover, he has allowed one run or no runs in five of his last six starts. Have to keep with the winning team. I don't buck long losing streaks like the Angels have. Play Boston. |

06-09-22 | Phillies +152 v. Brewers | 8-3 | Win | 152 | 2 h 14 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia Phillies have been hot, winning six straight games after Wednesday's blowout win over the Brewers, 10-0. The Phils are just two games back of the .500 mark, but still a good 9.5 games back of the Mets in the NL East. Zach Eflin will toe the rubber today for the Phillies with a 2-4 mark in his nine starts and a 4.24 ERA. Eflin coming off his best start of the season, going eight innings vs the Angels, allowing just five hits and no runs for the win. The Brewers look to snap a 5-game losing streak here today. They lost three of four at home to the Padres and now the first two games of this series to the Phillies. The Brewers start Corbin Burnes today who is 3-3 in his 11 starts. Burnes has a 2.50 ERA and slightly higher 3.86 home ERA. Burnes to hit hard in his last start, allowing eight hits and five runs over 3 2/3 innings to the Padres. Phillies a big dog here today and I see them as a live dog with their winning streak. Play Philadelphia. |

The LA Dodgers have a slim 1.5 game lead over the Padres in the NL West. LA has run into some tougher times of late, going 3-6 over their last nine games. Tyler Anderson will get the start for LA today. Anderson has been their most successful starter with a 6-0 record in his eight starts and a 2.64 ERA. Anderson has allowed no runs over his three starts (20 innings). The White Sox still struggling to make it back to the .500 record with a 26-28 record. They had their three game win streak snapped last night by the Dodgers, 1-4. Dylan Cease will start today with a 4-2 record and 3.39 ERA. Cease also has been good of late, allowing no runs over his last two starts (10 innings). I like Anderson as he's looked the best for LA all season. Take the Dodgers. |

The St Louis Cardinals look to salvage one game of this three-game set with the Rays. They have lost the first two games, 2-4 on Tuesday and then 3-11 last night. Miles Mikolas will get the start for St Louis with a 4-3 record in his 11 starts and a 3.01 ERA. He's been slightly better on the road with a 3-1 record and 2.54 ERA. Tampa Bay trying to keep pace with the Yankees in the AL East. They trail the Yankees by 7-games. Shane McClanahan will get the start today with a 6-2 record in his 11 starts and a 2.10 ERA. He's allowed two runs or fewer in his last six starts. Both pitchers are very good as I expect to see a lower scoring game here today. Play UNDER. |

06-08-22 | Warriors v. Celtics UNDER 212.5 | Top | 100-116 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 42 m | Show |
Game three of the NBA Finals moves to Boston for tonight's contest. The Warriors returned their game one blowout loss with their own blowout in game two to even the series at 1-1. The Celtics were close in game two but came out the break and shot very badly in the third quarter which led to their demise. The Celtics also missed a lot of wide open shots in game two, something they need to fix tonight if they want to win. Tonight, I'm looking at the UNDER. The Warriors have gone under in 11 of their last 13 vs a team with a winning straight up record. They are also 1-4 O/U in their last five games when the dog. The UNDER has also been quite dominant in this series, with seven of the last 10 meetings in Boston going under and 20 of the last 28 overall meetings going under. I'll take the under here today in game three. |

06-08-22 | Yankees -1.5 v. Twins | 1-8 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
Yankees have now won seven straight games, after taking game one of this set from the Twins, 10-4. They actually haven't just won, they have dominated, outscoring their opponents 48-11 during the seven games. Today, they have one of their best, if not their best, on the mound in Nestor Cortes. Cortes is 5-1 in his 10 starts with a 1.50 ERA and 0.867 WHIP. He has been just as good on the road with a 3-1 record and 1.50 ERA. Cortes has allowed one run or fewer in four of his last five starts. The Twins are in 1st in the AL Central, but this is the softest division in baseball as no other team is even over the .500 mark. The Twins have lost five of their last seven games. Christ Archer gets the start today with a 0-2 record in his 10 starts. Archer has a 3.89 ERA overall and a 5.00 home ERA. I see this matchup as a total mismatch. The Yankees are red hot and have a huge advantage in pitching today. I'll lay the Run line with the Yankees. |

The LA Dodgers still maintain their NL West 1st place spot, 2.5-games ahead of the San Diego Padres - this despite losing two straight games to the Mets. In fact, the Dodgers have now lost five of their last seven overall. Mitch White will start today for LA with his 0-1 record after three starts. White has a 4.77 ERA and has not gone past the fifth inning yet. Meanwhile the White Sox have won two straight and pulled within 2-games of the .500 mark. Michael Kopech starts today with a 1-2 record in his nine starts and a 2.20 ERA. Other than his last start, Kopech has allowed no runs in three of his previous four starts. I'll take the home dog here in the Sox with a very good starter on the hill. Play Chicago. |

06-07-22 | Yankees -150 v. Twins | 10-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
A pair of 1st place teams bump heads today as the NL East leading Yankees take on the AL Central leading Minnesota Twins. The Yankees bring a 6-game win streak to Minnesota for the first of a 3-game set. Jameson Taillon will start for the Yankees. He's been one of their best on the hill with a 6-1 record in his 10 starts and a 2.30 ERA. The Twins still aren't sure who they will start and for me it doesn't really matter. I like Taillon a lot and will take him against any of the Twins starters here today. Play New York. |

06-07-22 | Tigers v. Pirates UNDER 7 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
The Detroit Tigers look to snap a 3-game losing streak as they visit the NL's Pittsburgh Pirates today. The Tigers aren't often a road favorite, but they are today. That is mainly because their winningest pitcher is on the mound in Tarik Skubal. Skubal is 4-2 on the season with a very good 1.84 ERA. Skubak has allowed no runs in four of his last five starts. The Pirates have been doing well of late, winning five of their last six games including a 3-game sweep of the LA Dodgers. Jose Quintana will get the start for the Bucs today. Quintana is 1-2 in his 10 starts with a 2.32 ERA. Both these pitchers are very good and as such, I'll take the UNDER today. |

06-07-22 | Cubs -110 v. Orioles | 3-9 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
Inter League action today has the Cubs making the trip to Baltimore to take on the Orioles. The Cubs coming off a pair of losses at home to the Cardinals. They look to get back in the win column here today with Keegan Thompson on the hill. Thompson is 3-0 in his four starts with a nifty 2.79 ERA. The Cubs are 4-0 in Keegans starts this year. The Orioles lost their last game on Sunday to the Guardians, 2-3. They have now lost three of their last four games. Kyle Bradish will toe the rubber today for the O's. Bradish is 1-3 in his seven starts with a 6.82 ERA. Neither team very good, but Cubs with a big edge on the hill today. Play Chicago. |

06-06-22 | Red Sox +103 v. Angels | 1-0 | Win | 103 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
The Boston Red Sox begin their set at the LA Angles tonight after having swept Oakland and won four straight games. The bats have been firing too, outscoring Oakland 20-4. In addition the Sox have scored 27 runs over their last four games. Michael Wacha will start today for the Sox with a 3-1 record and 2.43 ERA. Wacha has had one bad start, but other than than he's been excellent. The LA Angels have free fallen in the AL West. They are now 8.5 games back of first place Houston after losing their 11th straight game on Sunday. Noah Sydergaard will try and put an end to this losing streak. He's 4-3 on the season with a 4.02 ERA. He's also been on rough times of late, allowing 12 runs over his last three starts (11 innings). I have to stick with Boston here today. Until the Angels win, I'm not bucking their losing streak. Play Boston. |

06-05-22 | Celtics v. Warriors -175 | Top | 88-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
It's really this simple, the Warriors blew a huge lead they held for three quarters of game one. They got totally blown out in the fourth quarter to lose badly. They have to regroup here in game two or this series is likely done. I don't believe the Warriors can win four of five games with three of those at Boston. So tonight, the Warriors can't let what happened in game one happen here. They are too experienced and too good to let it happen again. I have to take the Warriors here tonight. And as big as the money line will be, I'm going to lay the money line with Golden State. |

06-05-22 | Cardinals -127 v. Cubs | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Sunday Night baseball on ESPN has this storied rivalry as the Cubs host the Cardinals. St Louis has won the first two of three in this series as the worse they can do today is a split. The Cards won on Satuday, 7-4. They have outscored the Cubs in the series 22-15. Adam Wainwright starts today for the Cardinals. He's 5-4 in his 10 starts this season with a 2.75 ERA. He has allowed just six runs over his last four starts (32 innings). The Cubs are 23-31 in the NL Central, 9.5 games back of the Brewers. Justin Steele starts today with a 1-5 record in his 10 starts. Steele has a 5.40 ERA and has allowed 10 runs over his last two starts (seven innings). Wainwright pitching too well to go against him and the Cards today. Play St Louis. |

06-05-22 | Mariners v. Rangers -125 | 6-5 | Loss | -125 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
The Seattle Mariners saw a modest two game win streak snapped last night by the Rangers, 2-3. The teams have split the first two games of the series with Seattle winning game one, 4-3. Today's rubber game has George Kirby starting for the M's. Kirby is 1-1 in his five starts with a 3.46 ERA. The Rangers are so close to that .500 mark as they sit at 25-27 overall. Martin Perez looks to get them one game closer today. Perez is 4-2 on the season with a 1.42 ERA and 0.932 Whip. Perez has been amazing for the Rangers, allowing one run or no runs in each of his last eight starts. I like Perez a lot here today. Take the Rangers. |

06-05-22 | Astros -1.5 v. Royals | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 20 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros sit comfortably in 1st in the AL West, 6.5 games ahead of the LA Angels. Still, it's hard to accept a 0-6 loss to the lowly Royals as they did last night. Today is the rubber game of the series and the Astros won't want to let this series go down. Framber Valdez starts today with a 5-2 record in his 10 starts. Valdez has a nice 2.57 ERA and better 1.40 road ERA this season. He has allowed one run in three of his last four starts. Moreover, he's allowed no more than three runs in nine of his 10 starts this season. The Royals are in last in the AL Central with a 17-34 record. They have lost five of their last six games. Jon Heasley will start today. Heasley is 0-2 in his four starts with a 4.66 ERA and 5.40 home ERA. While Heasley hasn't been bad, don't think he has enough to take this series from the 1st place Astros. Lay the Run line with Houston. |

06-05-22 | Angels v. Phillies -118 | 7-9 | Win | 100 | 2 h 46 m | Show | |
The Philadelphia Phillies look for the sweep today over the LA Angels in this lone Inter League matchup. The Phillies have pounded the Angels too, winning by a combined 17-2 in the two games. Kyle Gibson starts today for the Phils. Gibson is 3-2 in his 10 starts with a 3.83 ERA. Gibson has been very consistent of late, allowing just two runs in each of his last three starts. The Angels are in second place in the AL West, but still a good 5.5 games back of Houston. The Angels have been in a big hitting slump of late, scoring just five runs in the last five games (ALL LOSSES). Patrick Sandoval looks to right the ship today. Sandoval is 3-1 in his eight starts with a 2.70 ERA. However Sandoval coming off one of his worst starts last time out, allowing five hits and six runs over just three innings to Toronto. Gibson has been pitching well for the Phils and LA in a losing streak. I'll take Philly to sweep today. |

06-05-22 | Tigers v. Yankees -1.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -135 | 1 h 11 m | Show | |
The Yankees have heated up again, now winning five straight games as they look for the sweep over Detroit today. They took both games in big fashion, shutting out the Tigers in game one 13-0 and again in game two, 3-0. Jordan Montgomery will start today with a 1-1 record in his 10 starts and a 3.04 ERA. He's been very consistent, allowing three runs or fewer in each of his 10 starts. The Tigers will have to find some offense today if they look to avoid the sweep. Rony Garcia will be on the hill and he looks to be more cannon fodder for the Bronx Bombers. Garcia is 0-1 in his two starts with a 8.00 ERA. The only good thing, he's struck out 12 and walked just three. I look for another lopsided Yankees win here today. I'll lay the Run Line with New York. |
|||||||
06-04-22 | Guardians v. Orioles UNDER 8 | 4-5 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Guardians look to win their fifth in a row today and finally climb back to the .500 mark with a win. They beat the Orioles in game one of this set on Friday, 6-3. They have outscored opponents 25-9 during their four game win streak. Triston McKenzie will start today for the Guardians. McKenzie is 3-3 with a 2.44 ERA. He's pitched very consistently, allowing two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. The Orioles have lost three of their last four games. Tyler Wells looks to turn that around today as he's 2-4 in his 10 starts with a 3.71 ERA. He's been slightly better at home with a 1-0 record in four starts and a 2.29 ERA. I like both pitchers to keep this one close and low scoring. take the UNDER. |
|||||||
06-04-22 | Diamondbacks v. Pirates -125 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
The Arizona Diamondbacks took game one of this series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night, 8-6. That was the club's third win in their last four games. Zach Davies will look to make it two in a row vs the Bucs here today. Davies is 2-3 in his 10 starts with a 4.84 ERA. Davies has also had a rough time of late, allowing 12 earned runs over his last 13 innings of work. The Pirates came back down to earth after their road sweep of the Dodgers. They are still hitting the ball well, their fourth game in a row with at least five runs. Roansy Contreras will start today for the Bucs no record in his two starts and a 1.80 ERA. I'm taking the Bucs to rebound here today. Play Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
06-04-22 | Twins v. Blue Jays OVER 8.5 | 3-12 | Win | 100 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Twins have little competition in the AL Central with no other team having a .500 or better record. It almost makes them complacent knowing they should cruise to the division championship. Dylan Bundy will start today with a 3-2 record and 4.76 ERA. Bundy allowed nine hits and four runs in his last start to Detroit. The Blue Jays saw their eight-game win streak come to an end on Friday in their loss to the Twins, 3-9. However, it was their sixth straight over and their ninth over in their last 10 games. Jose Berrios will start today for the Jays with a 3-2 record in his 10 starts. Berrios has a lofty 5.62 ERA and has allowed nine runs over his last nine innings of work. I'm taking today's contest over. |
|||||||
06-04-22 | Tigers v. Yankees -1.5 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 42 m | Show |
The Detroit Tigers had their modest 3-game win streak snapped on Friday by the Yankees, 0-13. The Tigers will look to be more competitive today with Beau Brieske on the hill. However, that doesn't look to promising with his 0-4 record in seven starts and 5.24 ERA. The Yankees have won three straight games after Friday's white wash of the Tigers. In fact, the Yankees four game win streak they have outscored opponents by a 30-3 margin. Luis Severino on the hill today with a 3-1 record in his nine starts and a 3.38 ERA. Doesn't really matter who they start though, they should pound the Tigers once again. I'm laying the Run Line with the Yankees. |

06-03-22 | Padres v. Brewers UNDER 6.5 | 7-0 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 37 m | Show | |
The San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers play game two of their set here tonight in Milwuakee. The Padres lost game one on Thursday, 4-5. The Padres looked to have the game in hand leading 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, but gave up four runs to lose the game. The Padres will try and rebound tonight from that devastating loss with their best pitcher on the hill in Joe Musgrove. Musgrove is 5-0 in his nine starts with a nifty 1.86 ERA. Musgrove has not allowed more than two runs in any of his nine starts this year. Milwaukee will counter with their Ace in Corbin Burnes. Burnes is just 3-2 in his 10 starts, but has a great 1.95 ERA. Two of the top pitchers in the NL and both candidates for the NL Cy Young. I'll take this game UNDER. |

06-03-22 | Twins v. Blue Jays OVER 9 | 9-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
The first place Minnesota Twins are now 30-23 after losing three straight games. They still have a comfortable lead in the AL Central since no other team is within 3-games of even the .500 mark. Today they start a three-game set vs one of the hottest teams in baseball, the Toronto Blue Jays. The Twins made a call to Triple-A St Paul to bring up today's starter, Chi Chi Gonzalez. Gonzalez had a 3.44 ERA in the minors with and struck out 23.4% of batters he faces. He last pitched in the majors with Colorado from 2019 to 2021 and had a less than stellar career with the Rockies. Meanwhile Toronto has won eight straight games including sweeps of the Chicago White Sox and LA Angels. Yesei Kukuchi starts today with a 2-1 record in his nine starts with a 3.48 ERA. Kikuchi is ok, but I'm not sure Gonzalez will do much better with the Twins. I'm taking the Over today. |

06-03-22 | Diamondbacks v. Pirates -105 | 8-6 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
The Pittsburgh Pirates are 22-27 and 3rd in the NL Central division. However, they played well above their pay grade on their recent road trip to LA. The Dodgers might have thought they had an easy three game set coming up, but that isn't what happened. The Pirates swept the Dodger at Chavez Ravine, outscoring the high priced LA lineup, 19-12 in the process. Pittsburgh had Thursday off as they head to Phoenix to take on the Diamondbacks starting tonight. J.T. Brubaker will start for the Bucs. Brubacker is 0-4 with a 4.15 ERA, but has pitched great of late. He has gone two straight starts (11 2/3 innings) allowing no earned runs. The Arizona Diamondbacks are 25-27 and in 4th in the NL West. Merrill Kelly will start for the D'backs tonight with a 3-3 record and 3.67 ERA. Kelly hasn't been as good on the road where he has a 5.40 ERA in his four away starts. I'm going to see if the Bucs can continue their magic here tonight in Arizona. Play Pittsburgh. |

06-02-22 | Celtics v. Warriors -155 | Top | 120-108 | Loss | -155 | 57 h 3 m | Show |
Game one of the NBA Finals here tonight as the Boston Celtics make the long trip West to take on the Warriors from Northern Cal. The Celtics had to withstand a big comeback in game seven of their Eastern Conference finals against Miami to hold onto their four point win, 100-96. Meanwhile, the Warriors had little trouble dispatching the Dallas Mavericks in five games, including their final win 120-110. The Warriors are on familiar ground, having been to the NBA Finals in six of the last eight years. And, while the Celtics have been to the Finals 22 times, they have not been here in the last 12 seasons. That gives the Warriors a huge experience factor here of 132 games to zero. The other factor to figure here in game one is fatigue. Golden State winning has everything to do with fresh legs and the penalty of travel. The Warriors have not played for a week while the Celtics have seen their last two series go to seven games, including a highly emotional win at Miami Sunday. Between the history and the recent play, I'll take the Warriors here in game one on the Money Line. |

A rivalry continues with a five-game set between the St Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs. They will play a doubleheader on Saturday. The Cardinals are in 2nd place in the NL Central with a 29-21 record. The Cubs are in fourth with a 21-29 record. The Cardinals will start Matthew Liberatore today, making his third start of the season. Liberatore had a rough first start, allowing seven hits and four runs to the Pirates. However, he followed that with a very good start vs the Brewers, allowing just two hits and no runs over five innings for his first win. The Cubs have won two straight games, as they split their four-game series with the Brewers. Keegan Thompson will start today for the Cubs. Thompson is 2-0 in his three starts with a 1.93 ERA. He's allowed just one run over his last two starts (10 innings) with just one walk and nine KO's. I like Thompson and the Cubs to take game one of this rivalry with the Cardinals. |

06-02-22 | Angels v. Yankees -145 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Game 2 of the Doubleheader between the Angels and Yankees. The Angels have dropped fast in the AL West after losing six straight games. They now trail 1st place Houston by 5.5-games. Reid Detmers will go in game two here today. Detmers is 2-2 with a 4.65 ERA. He's been worse on the road with a 8.48 ERA in his three away starts. The Yankees are in 1st in the AL East, 5.5-games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees will start Jameson Taillon today. Taillon is 5-1 in his nine starts with a 2.49 ERA. Tallion has allowed just one run over his last two starts (15 innings). I'll take the Yankees in game 2 here today. |

The White Sox look to salvage one game of this three game set with the Blue Jays. The Sox lost game one, 5-6 and then game two last night, 3-7. Johnny Cueto will get the start today for the Sox. Cueto is 0-1 in his three starts with a 2.41 ERA. After two very good starts, Cueto was roughed-up last outing against the Cubs, allowing nine hits and five runs over 6 2/3 innings. Meanwhile the Blue Jays are surging in the AL East, having won seven straight games. They are now in 2nd place in the AL East, 5-games back of the Yankees. Alek Manoah will start for the Jays today. Manoah is 5-1 with a very good 1.77 ERA. He's been even better at home where he has just a 1.33 ERA in four starts. Manoah has also been very consistent this year, not allowing more than two runs in any of his nine starts. I'll take the UNDER here tonight. |

06-02-22 | Twins v. Tigers UNDER 8.5 | 2-3 | Win | 110 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
The 1st place Minnesota Twins have little competition in the division right now. The next closest team are the Chicago White Sox at 23-25 and no other team is above .500 in the division. Chris Archer starts today for the Twins with a 0-2 record in his nine starts. Archer has a 4.19 ERA but has been much better of late. He's allowed one run in two of his last three starts and three runs in his last start. The Detroit Tigers are just 20-30 on the season but have been fighting. The Tigers have won two straight games, four of the last five and five of their last seven. Alex Faedo starts today with a 1-2 record in his five starts. He has a 3.00 ERA and has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his five starts this year. I'm taking the UNDER here today. |

Minnesota sits in 1st place in the AL Central and is the only team in the division that has a record of better than .500. The Twins hold a 4.5 game lead over the White Sox who are just below the .500 mark. Bailey Ober will start today for the Twins with a 1-1 record in his six starts and a 3.25 ERA. He's been very good in his two road starts, posting a 0.82 ERA. In addition, he's allowed just six total runs over his lat five starts. The Tigers have won three of their last four games including last night's game one with the Twins, 4-0. Tarik Skubal will start today for the Tigers. Skubal has been very good with a 3-2 record and 2.09 ERA. He's allowed just three total runs over his last four games (25 innings). Both pitchers are very good and I'll be on the UNDER in this one. |

06-01-22 | White Sox v. Blue Jays UNDER 8.5 | Top | 3-7 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
The Toronto Blue Jays have won six straight games after their opening game win in this series with the White Sox last night, 6-5. The Jays have improved to 28-20 and are just a half game back of the Rays in the AL East for 2nd place and 5.5 back of the Yankees for 1st place. Hyun-Jin Ruy will start today with a 2-0 record and 5.48 ERA. Most of tha ERA came in his first two starts where he allowed 11 runs in 7 1/3 innings. Then he had almost a month off with an injury before returning on May 14th. Since his return, Ryu has three very good starts, allowing just three runs over 15 2/3 innings. The Sox dropped below the .500 mark with their loss last night. They will try to get back there tonight with Michael Kopech on the hill. Kopech is 1-1 in his eight starts with a very good 1.29 ERA. He's been even better in his four road starts with a 0.45 ERA. I like this game UNDER! |

06-01-22 | Braves v. Diamondbacks UNDER 9 | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
Atlanta has lost the first two games of this three game series with the Diamondbacks, including last night's contest 7-8. The Braves will try to salvage the last game here today with Kyle Wright on the hill. Wright is 4-3 in his nine games with a 2.68 ERA. Wright has been very good of late, allowing four total runs over his last three starts (18 innings). Arizona can get to the .500 mark with a win today as they sit at 23-24 overall. Madison Bumgarner will start today with a 2-3 record and 3.35 ERA. I like this game to go under here today. |
|||||||
06-01-22 | Astros v. A's UNDER 7.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -113 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros will look to extend their win streak to four games here today at Oakland. The Astros are in 1st place in the AL West with a 32-18 record and 5-games ahead of the LA Angels. Justin Verlander looks to rebound from his worst start of the season. Verlander went just six innings and gave up 10 hits and six runs in his last start at Seattle. That coming after a three game streak where he allowed no runs over 19 innings of work. The Oakland A's have lost the first two games to the Astros, 1-5 on Monday and 1-3 on Tuesday. Cole Irvin will try to get the A's back in the win column. Irvin is 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA in his seven starts. He's been very good at home with a 1-0 record in four starts and at 1.61 ERA. I expect Verlander to go out and shut down these A's which only have two runs in the series as it is. Take the UNDER. |

05-31-22 | Rays v. Rangers -110 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
The Tampa Bay Rays are 28-20 in the AL East and trail the first place Yankees by 5-games. They are coming off a loss to the Rangers in game one of this series on Monday, 5-9. This after taking two of three from the Yankees in the weekend series. Ryan Yarbrough will start today for the Rays with a 0-1 record in his four starts and a 4.41 ERA. Yarbrough has yet to have a quality start in any of his four outings. The Rangers can get to .500 with a win tonight over the Rays. That would still keep them in 3rd in the AL West, 7-games back of division leading Houston. The Rangers have won five of their last six games. Martin Perez will start today for the Rangers with a 3-2 record in his nine starts and a very good 1.60 ERA. Perez has allowed either one or no runs in each of his last seven starts. I'll take the Rangers and a very good Perez here tonight. |

05-31-22 | Brewers -124 v. Cubs | 7-8 | Loss | -124 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
Rivalry game here today between the Brewers and Cubs. Brewers have taken the first two games of this series with the Cubs, 7-6 in game one and 3-1 in game two in Sunday's doubleheader. Eric Lauer starts here today for the Brewers with a 5-1 record in his eight starts. Lauier has a very good 2.31 ERA this season and allowed over two runs just once in his last seven starts. The Cubs have lost three in a row, including that doubleheader to the Brewers on Sunday. They have also lost five of their last six games. Justin Steele starts today for the Cubs with a 1-5 record in his nine starts and a 5.40 ERA. Steele coming off his worst start of the season where he allowed seven runs over just two innings of work against Cincinnati. I'm taking the Brewers today with the much better starter on the hill. |

05-31-22 | Reds v. Red Sox -132 | 2-1 | Loss | -132 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The NL's Cincinnati Reds travel to Boston today to take on the AL's Reds Sox. Both teams have struggled this year but the Reds have gone through some long losing streaks. The Reds are in last in the NL Central with a 16-31 record. They did win four in a row before losing Sunday's game to the Giants, 4-6. The bullpen has not been very good, especially of late where they have a 5.00 ERA. Luis Castillo starts today for the Reds with a 1-2 record in his four starts with a 4.35 ERA. The Boston Red Sox have struggled most of the season and are within three wins of the .500 mark at 23-26. Michael Wacha will start today for the Sox. Wacha is 3-0 in his seven starts with a 2.83 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 1-0 record in three starts and a 1.17 ERA. I'm going to take the home Red Sox with Wacha today. |

The Atlanta Braves just can't seem to get back to that .500 mark yet. They are close at 23-25 after Sunday's win over Miami, 6-3. They did take two of three from the Marlins so that inched them closer. The Braves will be sending Spencer Strider to the hill today. Strider will be making his first career MLB start. Strider has excelled in the bullpen this year with a 2.22 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 37 KO's and just 11 Walks. Arizona just got swept at home by the LA Dodgers. That four game losing streak after a stretch that saw t the team go 5-1 the previous six games. Zac Gallen gets the start today. Gallen having a fine season with a 3-0 record in his eight starts and a 2.22 ERA. Gallen is coming off his worst start of the season, allowing seven hits and six runs over 5 1/3 innings to the Royals. I look for Gallen to rebound here today and the D'backs to win this game. |

Tampa Bay chasing the Yankees in the AL East, now 4.5-games back with a 28-19 record. The Rays took two of three games from the Yankees in their set which ended yesterday. Their pitching held the hard hitting Bronx Bombers to just five runs total over the three-game set. Drew Rasmussen starts for the Rays today with a 5-1 record and 2.68 ERA. Rasmussen allowed three runs in his last start, a win over Miami. However, that was the mot runs he's allowed in a start in his previous six starts. Texas had their four game win streak snapped on Sunday by the A's, 5-6. They are now 22-24 but still 7-games back of 1st place Houston. Glenn Otto will start today for the Rangers with a 2-2 record and 4.91 ERA in his six starts. He's been much worse at home in his two starts with a 0-1 record and 10.80 ERA. I like the Rays here today with Rasmussen on the hill. |

05-30-22 | Astros v. A's UNDER 7 | 5-1 | Win | 110 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
These two teams begin a three-game set here on Memorial Monday. The Houston Astros salvaged the rubber game of their series with Seattle, taking the third game, 2-1, after losing the first two games. The Astros offense has gone South of late, scoring just five total runs over the last four games. Framber Valdez gets the start today for the Astros. Valdez is 4-2 with a 2.83 ERA this season. He has now gone six consecutive starts without allowing more than three runs in a game. The A's trail the 1st place Astros by 11 games in the AL West. The A's also salvaged one of the four games in their series with the Rangers taking the fourth game, 6-5. Paul Blackburn gets the start today for the A's. He's been their best pitcher by far this year with a 5-0 record in his nine starts and a 1.70 ERA. He's allowed just three runs over his last four starts and six runs over his last six starts. This game looks to be an under play the whole way. Play UNDER. |

05-29-22 | Celtics v. Heat +2.5 | Top | 100-96 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 30 m | Show |
I believe the Boston Celtics could have cost themselves a NBA Finals appearance by losing game six at home the Miami Heat. The series returns to Miami for game seven and the winner moving on to the Finals against the Golden State Warriors. Two things stand out to me; 1st is that the Heat took all the momentum in this series after losing game six. The other and bigger thing is that NBA home teams have a distinct advantage in game 7 of a series. Let take a quick look. The Celtics have the most games 7's in NBA history, with 33 and that will be 34 after Sunday's game. There have been 133 games 7's with the home team winning 79% of the time or 105-28. That is a huge stat when it comes to home court advantage. And yet, here we have the Miami Heat a home dog in game seven. Not only do they not have to win, but they have a couple of points to play with as they currently are +2.5 or +3 points. For me, the momentum has shifted to Miami and with home court here in game seven, I'll take the points. |
|||||||
05-29-22 | Brewers v. Cardinals UNDER 7 | 8-0 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
The Milwaukee Brewers look to snap a two-game losing streak here today at St Louis and salvage the last game of this series. The Brewers are still in 1st place in the NL Central with a 29-18 record, but their lead has shrunk over the Cardinals to 2.5-games. The Brewers Ace, Corbin Burnes, will start today. While Burnes is only 2-2 in his nine starts he does have a very good 2.18 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 1.74 ERA in five games. The Cards will counter with Miles Mikolas today. Mikolas is 3-2 and has an impressive 1.96 ERA. He has allowed more than two runs in a start just once (3 runs). Two excellent pitchers on the hill today. I'll take the under. |
|||||||
05-29-22 | Guardians v. Tigers UNDER 8.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 13 m | Show | |
The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians play the rubber matchup of their 3-game set here today. The teams split the first two games with the Guardians winning Friday and the Tigers winning on Saturday. The Guardians will start Triston McKenzie today with a 3-2 record in his seven starts. McKenzie has a nifty 2.45 ERA overall and 2.40 ERA on the road. He's also given up more than three runs just once in his seven starts this year. The Tigers had their modest two-game win streak snapped last night by the Guardians, 1-8. Elvin Rodriguez will toe the rubber today for the Tigers. He's making just his second start of the season after going five innings in his debut against the Twins, allowing four hits and four runs. The Tigers not much of a hitting team and with McKenzie on the hill for Cleveland I look for a low scoring game. |
|||||||
05-29-22 | Yankees v. Rays UNDER 6.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show | |
The Tampa Bay Rays need these wins vs the Yankees to close that big gap in the AL East. Unfortunately for the Rays the best they can do is a 4-game split with a win here today. They did win on Saturday, 3-1. They still trail the Yankees in the division by 5.5-games. Shane McClanahan will take the hill today for the Rays with his 4-2 record in nine starts and a 2.06 ERA. He has allowed only three earned runs over his last four starts 25 1/3 innings. The Yankees had their four-game win streak snapped last night. Luis Severino looks to get them back on track today. Severino is 3-0 in his eight starts with a 3.02 ERA. He has allowed just one run over his last two starts, 13-innings. Both pitchers are very good and I look for another under in this series. |
|||||||
05-28-22 | Astros v. Mariners UNDER 7.5 | 0-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros saw their ACE Justin Verlander roughed-up in game one with the Mariners on Friday as Seattle won, 6-1. The Astros will look to rebound here today with Jose Urquidy on the hill. Urquidy is 4-1 in his eight starts with a 4.24 ERA. He has allowed one run or no runs in three of his last four starts. The Mariners wins have come far and few between of late, that's why Friday's win was so surprising. You have to go all the way back to April 26/27 for the last time the M's have won two straight games. They have Logan Gilbert on the hill today who is 4-2 in his nine starts with a 2.77 ERA. Gilbert has been pretty consistent all season long. I don't expect the M's to get many runs today. If Gilbert can do what he has lately, this will be an UNDER. |
|||||||
05-28-22 | Cubs v. White Sox UNDER 8.5 | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
The White Sox and Cubs play a short 2-game Inter League series here today from the South Side of Chicago. The Cubs have lost two straight, including Thursday's loss at Cincinnati, 5-20. Keegan Thompson starts today for the Cubs. Thompson has two starts and is 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA. The White Sox also lost in their last game 7-16 to the Red Sox to level their record at 22-22 overall. They trail 1st place Minnesota by 5-games in the AL Central. Johnny Cueto starts today for the Sox. Cueto has two starts this season with a 0-0 record and a 0.00 ERA. He has gone six innings in both starts and allowed no runs and 12 KO's. I'll take UNDER here today. |
|||||||
05-28-22 | Giants v. Reds OVER 9.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
The San Francisco Giants have been struggling as they have dropped into third place in the NL West, 6.5-games back of the Dodgers. The Giants have averaged a very good 5.09 runs per game this year. It's the pitching staff that has dropped dramatically from last season, allowing a 4.53 ERA overall. Alex Wood starts today with a 3-3 record in eight starts and a 4.82 ERA. The Reds have won three straight games, including last night's opener with the Giants, 5-1. They have now scored 29 runs over their last three games. Vladimir Gutierrez will start today with a 0-6 record and 8.70 ERA. He's been even worse at home with a 9.94 ERA. I like this game over here today. |
|||||||
05-28-22 | Marlins +108 v. Braves | Top | 4-1 | Win | 108 | 5 h 25 m | Show |
The Miami Marlins look to snap a 3-game losing streak here today at Atlanta. They were swept by their in-state rivals, Tampa Bay. Sandy Alcantara is the only starter to win a game over the teams last seven outings. He beat these Braves on April 22, 4-3, going nine full innings and allowing no earned runs. Alcantara is 4-2 overall in his nine starts with a nifty 2.11 ERA. The defending champion Braves still trying to get back to the .500 mark at 22-24. They beat Miami in game one of this series on Friday 6-4. Tucker Davidson will start today for the Braves. Davidson is 1-1 in his two starts with a 5.87 ERA. He lasted only 2 2/3 innings in his last start against Philly, allowing four hits and five runs. I'll take the Marlins today with their best pitcher on the hill. |
|||||||
05-28-22 | Aces v. Sky OVER 170.5 | 83-76 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
The Las Vegas Aces have the best record in the WNBA at 7-1. They are 5-0 at home and 2-1 on the road this season. They also are the highest scoring team in the WNBA at 93.3 ppg. And while they allow 80.1 ppg, they have the second best points differential of +13.2, only behind the 13.7 of Connecticut Sun. Today, they play at Chicago. The Sky are 4th in the league with a 4-2 record. They also average 84 ppg while allowing 77.2 ppg. I'm going to play the over with the fast paced Aces here today. |
|||||||
05-27-22 | Dodgers v. Diamondbacks +137 | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
The LA Dodgers got their 30th win of the season last night with a win over Arizona in the opening game of this set with the D'backs, 14-1. The Dodgers have been dominating both with the bats and on the mound. They lead the NL West by two-games over the Padres. Ryan Pepiot will make his third start of the season here today. Pepiot has no record yet with a 3.86 ERA. He is coming off a start vs their D'backs where he allowed two hits and three runs over his four innings of work for a no decision. Arizona looks to stay above the .500 mark today with a win over the Dodgers. The 23-23 D'backs have won five of their last seven games. Veteran Madison Bumgarner will start today. Bumgarner is 2-2 in his nine starts with a 2.76 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 1.86 ERA in his four starts. Bumgarner should keep the D'backs close here tonight and for me that makes them a live dog. Play Arizona. |
|||||||
05-27-22 | Rangers v. A's UNDER 7 | 8-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
The Texas Rangers improved to 20-23 after winning their last two games. They took the opener in this series with the A's on Thursday, 4-1. They are 0-5-2 O/U/P their last seven games. Jon Gray will start today with a 1-2 record in his six starts and a 5.14 ERA. Gray has been up and down this season, but he has pitched well in two of his last three starts. Oakland dropped to 19-28 on the season with their loss to the Rangers on Thursday. The A's have lost four of their last six games. Cole Irvin will start today with a 2-2 record in his six starts. Irvin has a 2.94 ERA and a nice 1.13 ERA in his three home starts. Since his first two starts of the season, Irvine hasn't allowed over two runs in any of his last four starts. I'll take the UNDER in this contest. |
|||||||
05-27-22 | Astros -1.5 v. Mariners | 1-6 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
The Houston Astros took the last two games of their three game set with the Guardians. The Astros are in 1st place in the AL West, 2.5-games ahead of the Angels. Justin Verlander will take the hill today. Verlander looks to once again be a Cy Young candidate with his dominating performances thus far. Verlander is 6-1 in his eight starts with a 1.22 ERA. He has not allowed a run in any of his last three starts (19 innings). Seattle has dropped two straight games to fall to 18-27 overall. The Mariners also fell into last in the AL West. Chris Flexen was very good last year, but not this season. He has a 1-6 record in his eight games with a 4.98 ERA. He has also allowed 14 runs over his last 14 1/3 innings. Verlander has been dominating and I don't see the M's giving him much of a problem tonight. Lay the Run Line with the Astros. |
|||||||
05-27-22 | Blue Jays v. Angels UNDER 8 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
The Toronto Blue Jays have won two straight games to improve to 24-20 in the AL East. They still trail the Yankees by 7.5 games as they have dropped off fast in the division race. Alek Manoah will toe the rubber for the Jays with a 5-1 record and 1.62 ERA. Manoah has allowed no more than two runs in any start this season. The LA Angels are having a fine season with a 27-19 record and just behind the Astros for the AL West lead. Chase Silseth will make his third start of the season today. Silseth is 1-1 in those prior two starts with a 2.61 ERA. Should be a good pitcher duel here tonight and I'll be on the UNDER. |
|||||||
05-27-22 | Heat v. Celtics -8.5 | Top | 111-103 | Loss | -110 | 43 h 59 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics took a 3-2 lead in this NBA Eastern Conf Finals Championship series with their win on Wednesday night, 93-80. In what was a very low scoring contest, the Heat led at the half, 42-37. However, the Celtics came out of the half firing and won the third quarter 32-16 and then the fourth quarter 24-22. Now the Heat are force to win the last two games in this series, including Friday's contest at Boston. The Celtics are a 3-point shooting team, they live and die beyond the arc and that's why we've pretty much seen blowouts in every contest. The Celtics opened game six line as a 9-point favorite and that's for good reason. Miami guard Tyler Herro missed Wednesday's game and that's a big loss for this team. With his status in question for game six here on Friday and the game in Boston, this becomes my favorite play in the championship series. Take Boston. |
|||||||
05-27-22 | Yankees v. Rays UNDER 7.5 | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
The NY Yankees continue to dominate their division as they lead the AL East by 5.5 games over 2nd place Tampa Bay. The Yankees have won three straight games to improve to 32-13. Jameson Taillon will start today with a 4-1 record in his eight starts and a 2.95 ERA. Tallion is coming off a seven inning performance against the White Sox, allowing five hits and one run. Tamp Bay dropped their game one of this series with the Yankees on Thursday, 2-7. The loss dropped the Rays to 26-18 in the AL East. Jeffrey Springs will make his fifth start for the Rays. Springs is 1-1 in his four previous starts with a 2.12 ERA. In his two home starts he has a 1.23 ERA. Springs has not allowed a run over his last two starts. I'll be on the UNDER here today. |
|||||||
05-26-22 | Dodgers v. Diamondbacks +167 | 14-1 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 0 m | Show | |
After scoring 19 runs in their first two games at Washington, the Dodgers hit a wall in Wednesday's game three. They scored no runs in a 0-1 loss. That makes LA 29-14 and the Padres remain 1.5-games back with their loss on Wednesday to the Brewers, 1-2. LA now heads all the way back to the West to take on the Diamondbacks in Phoenix. Mike White makes just his second start of the season here tonight. White went just 2 1/3 innings in hi first start vs the Phillies, allowing three hits and three runs. Arizona had Wednesday off after taking two games from Kansas City and also winning five of their last six games. Humberto Castellanos will start for the D'back with a 3-1 record and 4.13 ERA. He's been good, not great, allowing seven runs over his last three starts (16 innings). Dodgers a huge 1.80 favorite here with a very sketchy White on the mound. I like dogs who show value and the D'backs have lots of value tonight. Play Arizona. |
|||||||
05-26-22 | Rangers v. A's UNDER 7 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 20 h 60 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's took game three of their series on Wednesday with the Mariners as a nice dog price of +1.55 and won, 4-2. Now the A's return home to open their series here on Thursday against the Rangers. Frankie Montas will toe the rubber today for the A's. Montas is 2-4 in his nine starts with a 3.55 ERA. Montas has been excellent of late, going 7 2/3 innings of work with just two runs allowed and one walk and 14 KO's. The Rangers snapped their 3-game losing streak on Wednesday against the Angels with a 7-2 win. That's the most runs the Rangers have scored in their last seven games. Martin Perez will start today for the Rangers. Perez is 3-2 with a very good 1.64 ERA. He's been great on the road in his three starts, allowing no runs including a nine-inning shutout of the Astros in his last start. I'm looking for this game to go UNDER tonight with these two hot pitchers on the mound. |
|||||||
05-26-22 | Mavs v. Warriors -6.5 | 110-120 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors have to wait at least one more game to wrap-up their NBA Western Conference Finals and move on to the NBA Championship series. The Warriors led 3-0 in this series before not showing up in game four in their loss to Dallas, 109-119. Despite the loss, the Warriors did shoot fairly well in game four, hitting 48.8% from the field and 35.7% from 3-point arc. Both those numbers were actually better then their game three win at Dallas. The big jump came in the Mavs shooting as they had their best game in this series hitting 50% from the field and 46.5% from 3-point arc. Line has gone up significantly here tonight but for me I'm going to lay this in what looks like another blowout win. Take Golden State. |
|||||||
05-26-22 | Brewers v. Cardinals UNDER 7.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
The Milwaukee Brewers remain on the road after a successful trip to San Diego, taking two of the three games including Wednesday, 2-1. Eric Lauer starts tonight for the Brewers with a 4-1 record and 2.16 ERA. Lauer rebounded from a sub-par performance on the 14th with a nice game vs the Nationals last Friday where he allowed no runs over seven innings. The Cardinals had Wednesday off after losing on Tuesday to the Blue Jays, 1-8. That loss snapped a five-game win streak by the Cardinals. This is a big early season series as these two teams are battling it out in the NL Central. The Cardinals are in 2nd place, 3-games back of the Brewers with a 24-19 record. Adam Wainwright will start tonight with a 5-3 record in his eight games. Wainwright has a 2.87 ERA and slightly better 2.50 home ERA. He's been very good of late, allowing three runs over his last 20 innings. Two excellent pitchers that should keep this game low scoring and close. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
05-25-22 | Celtics v. Heat +2 | Top | 93-80 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat are tied 2-2 in this best-of-seven Eastern Conference Finals Championship. The Heat got beat bad ly in game four on their home court, 82-102. In fact, these teams have alternated win/losses with the winning team covering the spread. The Heat had to play game four without their guard Tyler Herro, who has a groin injury. Herro is questionable today and the Heat could really use his 20.7 ppg average. The Heat also need this game to maintain home court advantage or else they face going back to Boston down 2-3. For me, this is a key game for the Heat, lose and they are likely done in the series, win and they only have to win one of the last two games. I'll take Miami here tonight, especially since I believe Herro will return. Play Miami. |
|||||||
05-25-22 | Guardians v. Astros UNDER 8.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Guardians can't seem to put any wins together as they have not won two or more games in a row since May 8 and 9th. Cal Quantrill will start today for the Guardians with a 1-2 record and a 3.48 ERA. Quantrill coming off a nice start where he went seven innings vs the Reds, allowing just five hits and one run. The Houston Astros have a 1-game lead in the AL West over the LA Angels. It's looks to be just a two-team race in the division as the other three teams are all at least five-games below the .500 mark. Cristian Javier starts today for the Astros. Javier is 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA. However, at home he has a 1-1 record in two starts with a 0.79 ERA. Really, Javier has had one bad start in his four outings, a seven run game to the Nationals. I'll take the UNDER here tonight. |
|||||||
05-25-22 | Marlins v. Rays UNDER 7 | 4-5 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
The Miami Marlins lost game one of this series with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, 0-4. They have now lost four of the last five games to drop to 18-23 overall and 4th place in the AL East Division. Cody Poteet will make his second start of the season here tonight. Poteet had a nice first start, going 4 2/3 innings vs the Nationals, allowing just one hit and no runs. Tampa Bay improved to 25-17 and is in 2nd place in the AL East behind the NY Yankees. Drew Rasmussen will start for the Rays. He's 4-1 in his eight starts with a nifty 2.33 ERA and 0.905 WHIP. He's been even better at home with a 2-0 record and 1.31 ERA. Rasmussen has allowed just three total runs over his last five starts. Both pitchers should be very good here tonight. I'll take the UNDER. |
|||||||
05-25-22 | A's +157 v. Mariners | 4-2 | Win | 157 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's snapped a 3-game losing streak last night with their big dog win over the Mariners, 7-5. That was just their win over their last 10 games. Paul Blackburn will start tonight for the A's and he's been their best pitcher with a 4-0 record in his eight starts. Blackburn has a 1.91 ERA and 0.992 WHIP this year. He's been even better in his five road starts with a 1.37 ERA and the team has won all five of his away starts. The Mariners have also fallen on hard times, losing five of their last six games and dropping to 18-26 in the AL West, just a half game ahead of the A's for last place. Robbie Ray will start today with a 4-4 record in his nine starts and a 4.77 ERA. I'm a little taken aback by the +157 dog price on the A's considering these teams are very equal and the A's have a very good road pitcher in Blackburn on the hill. Lots of value here today with this dog. Play Oakland. |
|||||||
05-25-22 | Brewers v. Padres -132 | 2-1 | Loss | -132 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
Two of the best NL teams meet today as the NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers take on the NL West 2nd place San Diego Padres. The Brewers are 27-16 overall and lead 2nd place St Louis by 3-games. Aaron Ashby gets his fourth start of the season today. Ashby is 0-1 with a 4.61 ERA. He's coming off a road game at Atlanta where he allowed six hits and six runs in four innings. The Padres have been one of the best road teams in baseball this year, but have struggled at times at home. They won game one vs the Brewers and then lost last night, 1-4. That loss did snap a five-game win streak for the Padres. Yu Darvish gets the start today with a 4-1 record in his eight starts. Darvish has a 3.91 ERA and a 1.37 ERA at home in his three starts. Darvish has been one of the better Padre pitchers and I'll take him tonight. Play San Diego. |
|||||||
05-24-22 | Brewers v. Padres UNDER 6.5 | 4-1 | Win | 105 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
The NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers play game two of their series here tonight at San Diego against the Padres. They lost the opened last night, 2-3. That made two straight losses for the Brewers. They get their ACE on the hill today in Corbin Burnes. Despite his 1-2 record, Burnes has a nice 2.26 ERA and except for his last start he allowed two runs or fewer in his previous six starts. The Padres look to extend their win streak to six games here tonight. The Padres trail 1st place LA by just a half game in the NL West. Blake Snell gets the call today for the Padres. Snell is making just his second start since missing all the previous part of this season due to an injury. Snell only went 3 2/3 innings in his first start back against PHilly, allowing three hits and three runs. I look for Snell to only get stronger as he gets more innings. I'll take the under with these two pitchers on the hill today. |
|||||||
05-24-22 | Warriors +1.5 v. Mavs | Top | 109-119 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 34 m | Show |
The Golden State Warriors can wrap-up their Western Conference Finals with the Dallas Mavericks tonight. The Warriors took a 3-0 lead in this series after beating the Mavs in Dallas last game, 109-100. The Mavs led early, but once they fell behind in the 2nd quarter they never were able to fully recover. The question for me here tonight is how much does the Warriors want to win this game. A win and they get a nice rest while the Eastern Conference teams battle it out for their rep in the Title match. Sometimes too much rest can take away from a teams momentum too. But tonight, I think the Warriors want the rest and will do all it takes to put this series to an end. Play Golden State. |
|||||||
05-23-22 | Heat v. Celtics -6.5 | Top | 82-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
The Boston Celtics look to even this best of seven series at 2-2 with a win tonight at home over the Miami Heat. The Celtics lost game one in Miami, 107-118, took game two 127-102 and then lost at home in game three, 103-109. The Heat will be with0out guard Tyler Herro tonight who has a groin injury. They do look to have guard Jimmy Butler playing though who was upgraded to probable with a knee injury. The Celtics Jayson Tatum is expected to play with a cervical sprain. Celtics can't afford to lose another game on their home court. This line is a bit stiff, but I look for the Celtics to win here tonight. Play Boston. |
|||||||
05-23-22 | Guardians v. Astros UNDER 8.5 | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
Cleveland dropped another game under .500 to 17-20 with their loss on Sunday to Detroit, 2-4. That makes the Guardians 1-4 over their last five games. Zach Plesac looks to get the start tonight for the Guardians. Pleasac is 1-3 in his seven starts with a 4.42 ERA. The Astros improved to 27-15 after winning their last two game and taking three of four from the Texas Rangers. Luis Garcia toes the rubber for the Astros. Garcia is 3-2 with a 3.34 ERA this season. Both starts are capable of putting together good games here today. I'll take the UNDER. |
|||||||
05-23-22 | Blue Jays v. Cardinals -112 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
The Toronto Blue Jays won two of their three over the Reds, losing the last game on Sunday, 2-3. The Jays haven't scored more than three runs in any of their last five games. Joe Berrios gets the start today. Berrios is 3-2 in his eight starts this year, with a 4.83 ERA and 1.488 WHIP. St Louis improved to 23-18 after winning three straight games over the Pirates. They outscored Pittsburgh 28-11 in that set. Miles Mikolas will start today with a 3-2 record and 1.68 ERA. Mikolas hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his eight starts this year. I like the Cards here tonight. Play St Louis. |

05-23-22 | Tigers v. Twins UNDER 8 | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 20 m | Show | |
The Detroit Tigers are tied for last in the AL Central with the KC Royals, both teams with a 14-26 record. The Tigers did snap a three game losing streak with a win on Sunday over the Guradians, 4-2. They have a 1-6-1 O/U record in their last eight games, partly thanks to scoring one run in three straight games. Eduardo Rodriguez starts today for the Tigers with a 1-3 record and 4.38 ERA. He's pitched well in his last three starts, allowing a total of four runs in 14 innings. Meanwhile the division leading Twins have won four straight games to improve to 25-16. The pitching has been very good. Chris Archer will go today with a 0-1 record in his seven starts. Archer has a 4.10 ERA. However, most of those came in a five run game on May 5. Other than that game, Archer has allowed two runs or fewer in every other starts. I'm taking UNDER today. |

05-23-22 | Orioles v. Yankees UNDER 7.5 | 6-4 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
The Baltimore Orioles have won three of the last four games and improved to 17-23 on the season. They are still last in the AL East and likely will remain there the entire season. Jordan Lyles will start today for the O's. He's 2-4 in his eight starts with a 4.11 ERA. He's pitched well of late, allowing more than two earned runs just once in his last four games. The Division leading Yankees look to snap a two-game losing streak. They lost two of their last three to the White Sox and scored just one run in those two games. Gerrit Cole will start today with a 4-0 record in his eight starts and a 2.89 ERA. Cole has has not allowed more than three runs in any of his eight starts this year. I look for a low scoring contest here today. Play UNDER. |

05-22-22 | Warriors v. Mavs -145 | Top | 109-100 | Loss | -145 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
The Mavericks could easily be tied 1-1 in this series, but instead they are 0-2 after their two games at Golden State. The Mavs led by double digits at half time in game two and led at the end of the third quarter. However, they were outscored by 11 points in the third quarter and not only lost 117-126, but failed to cover the 6-point dog line. That means game three is pivotal here today for the Mavs. Lose and they go down 0-3 in this best of seven series. Win, and they are back in it. Something that could help their cause is that Warriors' guard Andrew Wiggins is questionable today with a ankle injury. I look for this to be the game the Mavs must win and I'll give them a shot. Take Dallas on the Money Line. |

05-22-22 | Twins v. Royals UNDER 8 | 7-6 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Twins look to extend their win streak to four games here today as they look for the sweep in Kansas City. The Twins will start Bailey Ober today who is 1-1 in his four starts with a 2.75 ERA. After his first start where he allowed four runs to the Mariners, Ober has allowed just two total runs in his next three starts. The Royals have lost three straight games and five of their last seven games. Brady Singer looks to get them back on track today. Singer has only one start and that was a fine one. Singer went seven strong innings against the White Sox, allowing just four hits and no runs with no walks and nine KO's for the 2-1 win. I look for a low scoring game here today with two pitchers that have pitched great of late. Play UNDER. |

05-22-22 | Tigers v. Guardians UNDER 7 | 4-2 | Win | 105 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
The Detroit Tigers look to snap a 3-game losing streak here today at Cleveland. The Indians are just 13-26 overall on the season and in last place in the AL Central. Alex Faedo will start for the Tigers with a 0-1 record in his three starts but a nice 2.87 ERA. Faedo has not allowed more than two runs in any of his three starts this season. The Cleveland Guardians are trying to claw their way back to the .500 mark in the AL Central. Right now, only Minnesota has a record over .500 in the division. The Guardians snapped a three game losing streak with their win here on Saturday. They will start Shane Bieber today who is 1-2 in his seven starts. Bieber has a 3.96 ERA with a 1.267 WHIP. Bieber had his worst start of the season, allowing seven runs to the Blue Jays but then bounced back with a six inning, one run performance against the Twins. I'm looking for a low scoring game today. Play UNDER. |

05-22-22 | Mariners v. Red Sox UNDER 9.5 | 4-8 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
The Seattle Mariners have dropped three-straight games to a 17-24 record and fourth place in the AL West. The Mariners have also lost five of their last six and could be swept here today by the Red Sox. Logan Gilbert will start for the M's with a 4-2 record and 2.60 ERA. Gilbert has been even better on the road where his is 3-1 with a 1.59 ERA. The Boston Red Sox have won four straight to improve to 18-22, but still are four games under the .500 mark. Nathan Eovaldi will start today with a 1-2 mark in his eight starts and a 4.32 ERA. Eovaldo had been doing great his lat five starts before his last one. He had given up just six runs in five games and then was blistered by the Astros for six runs over 1 2/3 innings in his last start. I look for Eovaldi to rebound here today and this game to go UNDER. |

05-22-22 | Panthers -109 v. Lightning | 1-5 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Game three of this series between a pair of Florida NHL teams has the Lightning hosting the Panthers here on Sunday. The Panthers are in dire need of a win here today after losing both game one and game two on their home ice. The Panthers offense was great in their first round, scoring 20 goals. However, they have yet to find that same success here in this round, scoring only two goals. The powerplay has been horrible, going 0-for-22 in the playoffs. The defense has kept the Panthers in the series, allowing only six goals. The Panthers have to win this game or go down 0-3 and have little chance the way the offense has produced. This is their shot here today. Take the Panthers. |

05-21-22 | A's +134 v. Angels | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
The Oakland A's took game one of this series with the Angels on Friday night, 4-2. That improved the A's to 17-24. The A's will turn to Frankie Montas here tonight. Montas is only 2-4 on the season, but still has a nice 3.67 ERA and 1.000 WHIP. Montas pitched very well in his last game, but took the loss to these Angels, 1-4. That loss came despite going six solid innings and allowing two runs and 12 KO's. The Angels have dropped out of 1st place in the AL West thanks to a four-game losing streak. The Houston Astros have taken over the division lead, 1.5 games ahead of the A's. The Angels will start Michael Lorenzen here today. Lorenzen is 5-2 in his six starts with a 3.57 ERA. Both pitchers are about even tonight, but with the Angels in the midst of a losing streak I'll take the live dog here in Oakland. |

05-21-22 | Heat +6.5 v. Celtics | 109-103 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Game three of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals changes venues here tonight as this best-of-seven series moves to Boston. The Heat took game one at home 118-107 and then lost in game two, 102-127. The Celtics live and die from the 3-point line and that proved out thus far. In their game one loss, the Celtics hit 32.4% from beyond the 3-point arc. Then in their game two blowout, the Celtics hit 50% from 3-point land. The Heat are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as a road dog. They are also 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 road games overall. The Heat have also done well in this series, covering 10 of the last 13 games in Boston. If the Heat can keep the Celtics three-point shots from getting out of control, they should cover if not win this game outright tonight. Play Miami. |
