Tampa Bay at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Yankees over Rays- When this shortened season began the Yankees were the over-whelming favorite to run the table into the post-season. But, it appears that the rays want to have a say in that and had defeated new York six straight times before the Yanks win last night.

Tonight, Tampa Bay will start Charlie Morton (1-1, 5.40 ERA) who has had a pair of quality starts after getting bombed his first time out, he is 4-2 with a 3.99 ERA lifetime against New York.

San Diego at Colorado 9:40 ET Rockies over Padres- Let me start by saying the San Diego is for real as their latino sluggers Tatis and Machado are leading the way. The Padres haven't been to the post season since 2006 and they have made four trades before the deadline and are serious about picking up some pitching. Tonight they will start one of the hurlers that they have counted on and he is struggling. Garrett Richards (1-2, 5.17 ERA) has been hit hard of late and one start at Coors Field this season he allowed four runs and eight hits in 5.2 innings.

Colorado at Arizona 9:40 ET Diamondbacks over Rockies- Colorado who got off to a quick start in this shortened season but have come back to the pack going 2-8 in their last 10 games and sit with a break-even mark of 15-15 right now. A pair of 1-3 pitchers will take the hill today with inflated ERA. The Rockies send Jon Gray (1-3, 6.23 ERA) to the mound and he is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA on the road. Arizona will start Robbie Ray (1-3, 8.33) who despite his record has 35 strikeouts in just 27 innings but his 25 walks have put him behind the 8-ball. Ray contends that his problems were mechanical and he has solved the issue. We will see!

Cincinnati at Milwaukee 8:10 ET Reds over Brewers- To start with I think Milwaukee's ship has sailed and their time be it small has passed as they just don't seem to have the mojo needed to compete consistently at the highest level. Hard throwing Brandon Woodruff (1-2, 3.23 ERA) take the hill for the Brewers and he's young with 33 K's in 30.2 innings while surrendering 29 hits, I like him I really do, but he hasn't gone more than five innings before trouble starts. Cincinnati will go with Luis Castillo (0-3, 4.44) who is looking for his first win in this his sixth start. Ever tough on batters he has 36 K's in just 26 innings and he's coming off a poor start against the Royals. Last season with the Reds he was 15-8 with 226 K's in 190 innings and allowed just 139 hits. I expect he returns to form here. Take CINCINNATI! |

Kansas City at St. Louis 8:15 ET Royals over Cardinals- St. Louis like all other teams have a 'personal' rival and for the Cardinals it is the Cubs but, like the Yankees and teams with great traditions they have other 'rivals' that may take the meeting with a sterner attitude. The Red Birds have won the last three meetings and six of seven between the two but they haven't played since a year ago August 2019. The attraction tonight will be on the mound as St. Louis sends their emerging ace Jack Flaherty (1-0, 3.12 ERA) who is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA against the Royals while Kansas City will send out Brad Keller (3-0, 0.00) who has allowed just eight hits in 17.2 innings of work. This season KC's bats are strong while the Cards have played only 17 games and they have only 14 homers to 31 by the Royals in 28 games. The Royals are also hitting 25-points higher as a team .249/.224. Heavy dog with a gander...take KANSAS CITY! |

Chicago Cubs at Detroit 7:10 ET Tigers over Cubs- I feel like 'we' stole one yesterday laying over -170 in any game is not my style but I saw what Yu Darvish has been doing without any support. Sunday he allows a single run on a solo home and the Cubs eek out a 2-1 win for us. But, that is as far as I am going to go with this team at this time as Kris Bryant is out along with other key position players. The storyline on this game should be and will be focused on Detroit starter Casey Mize (0-0, 6.23 ERA) who had seven K's in 4.2 innings in his debut against the White Sox. Mize was the top pick from Auburn in the 2018 draft an has career ERA of 2.76 in 26 minor league starts. He will be opposed by Chicago's Alec Mills (2-2, 4.76) coming off his worst outing this season he will be facing Detroit for the first time. Cubbies started 13-3 but their bats have caught a virus and they are 3-7 in last 10 and add that they are 5-13 in the last 18 meetings with the Tigers. Of course tigers will aways get the best of cubs especially when they are hurting. Take DETROIT! |

Minnesota at Cleveland 7:10 ET Indians over Twins- These two will end up fighting it out for the AL Central title and right now Minnesota has a 1.5-game lead over the Indians thanks to a strong 12-3 record at home. The twins have taken 3-of-4 as hosts as the Tribe managed just four runs in three games. All eyes will be on Kenta Maeda (3-0, 2.27 ERA) who took a no-hitter into the ninth against the Brewers Tuesday while striking out 12. His mound opponent for Cleveland will be Aaron Civale (3-2, 2.91) who has 32 strikeouts in 31.2 innings with get this just three walks. I can see Maeda having difficulty staying focused after his huge letdown from losing the no-hitter and as a matter of fact he didn't even figure in the decision. I don't see him being 'up' or sharp for this outing. Take CLEVELAND! |

Houston at San Diego 4:10 ET Padres over Astros- Now this is scary for a number of reasons.

Just, get a drift of this, he is 13-3 with a 2.37 ERA and a WHIP of 0.918. The Padres who lead the NL in homers with 54 in 29 games have hit five with the bases loaded and won six straight games.

Okay enough of that, well almost and I'm pissed two days ago with the Angels blowing a ninth inning lead to the A's. Okay, now...Dylan Bundy (3-2, 2.48 ERA) will start for L.A. And he is off a beating by the Giants while Oakland will start Frankie Montas (2-2, 4.74) who's control hasn't hit the mark yet.

His mound opponent for the Phillies will be Zach Wheeler (3-0, 2.81) who is like a new man after being signed by Philadelphia as a free agent.

Houston at Colorado 8:40 ET Rockies over Astros- To start with I have trouble understanding why the Astros are such heavy favorites on the road in Colorado where the Rockies are at their best. Houston who is on a six-game winning streak (all at home) is just 3-6 away from where they are able to know what pitches are coming. Rookie Ryan Castellani (0-0, 1.04 ERA) makes his third start and has 10 K's and only three walks and have his teams confidence. It appears that the heavy line is due to the series records of these two clubs as the Astros are 7-1 in the mile High City and 14-2 in the last 16 meetings overall. But, the Rockies are 7-1 in their last eight against left-handers starters. Take COLORADO! |

Philadelphia at Boston 7:10 ET Phillies over Red Sox- Boston returns home on an eight game losing streak and the best part that got swept by the Yankees who have beaten them 10 straight times. Now, here's my thought if the Red Sox can't be competitive against New York then they really do suck. The Phillies have been a disappointment so far but can get even with a win tonight as the enter on a three game winning streak and are 8-9. Philly bats have come alive with Harper and Realmuto doing the damage as they start Zach Eflin (0-1, 3.60) who is nothing special but the 'Dead Sox' are sending Zack Godley (0-2, 8.16) to the mound and he is god awful. Take PHILADELPHIA! Thank you and Good Luck. |

Tampa Bay at New York Yankees 7:05 ET Rays over Yankees- The Yankees have now hit 44 home runs in 21 games and are on a six game winning streak and have won all nine games played at home. In a rarity the Yanks have lost one game when they played as the home team expect for a loss in Philadelphia. Tonight they are starting Masahiro Tanaka (0-0, 2.31 ERA) who has allowed just 10 hits in 11 innings covering three starts. New York has dominated this series at home going 37-14 the last 51 meetings and 47-14 as host in their last 61 overall. Okay, you should get the point by now. So, I ask you. How is it Tampa Bay is favored against the 'hottest' team in baseball who leads the majors in wins at their park where they are dominating? Well, maybe it's because Blake Snell (1-0, 1.08) is on the hill for the Rays but, he's averaging just 3.1 innings per start I think the key is that the Yankees are 1-5 as underdogs...Take TAMPA BAY! Thank you and Good Luck. |

Oakland at Arizona 6:40 ET Diamondbacks over A's- This another game that pains me as I ready do like this Oakland team and there never say-die attitude that has helped four their last four three times overcoming leads in improbable fashion. Not to be outdone Arizona has a 4-game win streak of their own rallying late in the last two defeating the Padres. The A's lead the 'bigs' in wins with 16 and they moving into hostile territory as those cut outs can be very intimation especially with as Zac Gallen (0-0, 2.74 ERA) the best winless pitcher in MLB with 28 K's in 23 innings while allowing just 20 hits. No mind if it is Bassitt (who I like) this is a letdown spot for Oakland and that's the story. Oh okay, they are also 2-6 in their last eight games in Arizona! Take the DIAMONDBACKS! Thank you and Good Luck! |

San Diego at Texas 9:05 ET Padres over Rangers- Who is good and who is not it usually take about 100 games to begin to sort things out who now...who knows? Crazy, isn't it, the season is 1/3 over and it won't be long before we all say how did that happen. We have just had a great senescence with and against the padres and I can't see for any reason for it not to continue if and when it does so will we. It was a week ago and San Diego had just taken the Dodgers down the first two-games of a 4-game series and they were sitting at 11-6 just a hair behind the Rockies then it all happened they lost the final pair at LS and dropped three straight in Arizona blowing late leads on Saturday and Sunday. Now, Texas had a pair of mini streaks winning three and four and seven of eight altogether and that came to and end Sunday with the Rockies win 10-6. Tonight, Zach Davies (2-2, 2.78) with a WHIP of 0.84 gets the start for San Diego who is 10-3 as inter-league favorites but just 7-19 in their last 26 road games. Texas is 6-1 in their last seven home games and 5-0 at home as an underdog when hosting, but the phone rang and it not their night...and there is nothing that they can do about it! Take the PADRES! |

New York Mets at Miami 7:10 ET Mets over Marlins- These are not two of my favorite starting pitchers so much so that I am unofficially thinking that this is going to be a high scoring game. I've watching Mets starter Robert Gsellman and after five years I am still waiting for him to get some one one...someone...anyone. Ha, so he is favored on the road with the mets having g lost their last three games. The reason is the Marlins have had their fun and now reality sets in. Miami started Jordan Yamamoto had a great debut last season but this year he has a 2.08 WHIP and the Marlins are in a deep dive. New York is just 2-5 in their last seven but 20-8 over Miami in the last 28 meetings. Take NEW YORK! |

San Diego at Arizona 4:10 ET Diamondbacks over Padres- It's just the way things go in baseball, a week ago the Padres were the latest rage with Tatis Jr. and Machado leading the way. They have (very under-rated front line pitching) but then you find that you have lost four straight and nine straight times in Arizona. The Diamondbacks will send re-tread Robbie Ray (1-2, 10.59 ERA)to the hill who has been nothing short of atrocious allowing 20 runs in 17 innings while surrendering seven homers. Ray is 33-15 the past three seasons with a low ERA of 2.89 in 2018. Garrett Richards (1-1, 3.74) will get the start and most of the money here, he's off his season's best holding the Dodgers to one run in six innings. He comes back to the pack today. Take ARIZONA! |

Milwaukee at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET Brewers over Cubs- I can't tell you how much it pains me to play against Chicago here because of Jon Lester (2-0, 1.06 ERA) as he has proven over the years that he is indeed a 'big game' pitcher and with the Cubs having dropped three straight at home to the Brewers I's say this is a big game. But, there is always the possibility that he can pitch well and still not win the game as Milwaukee is 8-2 in their last 10 against left-handers and 7-3 in their last 10 as road underdogs. Brewers starer Josh Lindblom (1-0, 5.68) is starting to blow people away with his hard stuff as he has 20 strike-outs in 12.2 innings. Lifetime as a reliever he is 8-1 with an unimpressive ERA. Still, I don't prefer warm beer bit the Brewers are the side. Take MILWAUKEE! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Atlanta at Miami 1:10 ET Braves over Marlins- 'Enough is enough' that's when the Braves are thinking coming into this encounter with the East Division leading Marlins (9-5). I agree it is a small sample but Atlanta still has to contend with Philadelphia, the Mets staff and the Nationals who will be heard from before it's all said and done. Miami who had 18 players test positive for COVID-19 and lost 105 games last season are 10-games behind the rest of baseball (except for the Cardinals) that have been postponed. Although Miami has played well all on the road they are just 2-7 in their last nine home games against teams with wining records while Atlanta is 7-0 after scoring two runs or less in their previous game.

Although, he has allowed just seven hits in over 14 innings of work and four of those hits have been home runs along with eight walks. The Angels will start Andrew Heaney (1-1, 4.26) who is looking to rebound off of his worst performance of the season allowing five runs in 3.2 innings against Texas last Sunday. Still, Heaney can be very tricky and the Angels rise here. Take the ANGELS! |

What I mean by that is here is Colorado 12-6 with the best record in the NL West hosting a sub .500 Rangers team that is 1-5 on the road. Texas will start Lance Lynn (2-0, 1.16 ERA) who has been sharp this season including an opening day win over the Rockies striking out nine in six innings. He is 1-1 with a 2.84 ERA at Coors Field while the Ryan Castellani (0-0, 0.00) gets his first start after working four innings with allowing a hit or run. The clincher for me is that the Rangers re 4-0 in their last four games in the Mile High City. Take TEXAS! |

Milwaukee who is struggling winning just seven of 17 games and are favored on the road here which just doesn't float. Here are the Rockies leading their Division and is an underdog at home where they are 8-1 on the season. Add that Chicago is on a seven game winning streak just fuels my suspicion that there is 'something' wrong here. Brandon Woodruff (1-1, 2.53 ERA) will start for the Brewers while Tyler Chatwood (2-1, 5.40) gets the nod for the Cubs. Milwaukee is 12-5 in their last 17 as road favorites. Take the BREWERS! |

It's early but so far it appears that Miami could be that team currently leading the Division with and 8-4 recored including 2-0 at home. Atlanta started rough and has been bobbin' & weaven' since they are 11-9 on the season and just 4-7 on the road. The Braves will start Kyle Wright (0-2, 6.75 ERA) and he has yet to win in the 'bigs' and is 0-5 with a 7.41 ERA in seven career starts.

Chris Bassitt (1-0, 1.08 ERA) is taking the hill for the A's and he is off of a fine performance against the Astros allowing just three hits and one run in seven full innings, he is 2-2 with a 5.33 ERA in seven career starts against the Angles.

Oakland at L.A.

Oakland will most likely be without centerfielder Ramon Laureano who challenged Houston after getting plunked by Astros pitchers for the third straight day. Mike Fiers (1-0, 5.63 ERA) who many consider 'a rat' for spilling the beans on Houston's signal stealing gets the nod for the A's and is 6-4 with a 5.15 lifetime ERA against the Angles. L.A.

His last time out he threw six shutout innings in his hometown at Pittsburgh getting his first win. Milwaukee who seems to be on tract will start Adrian Houser (1-0, 0.75) who is off of his career best outing with seven scoreless innings against the White Sox. I believe both of these pitchers will come down a bit off of their last performances but coming off of a start and win in your home town against the Pirates you have more room to fall.

Pittsburgh will start veteran Derek Holland (0-0, 4.76) and he is 1-2 with a 4.26 ERA against the Tigers.

Houston will send Cristian Javier (0-0, 1.35 ERA) to the mound for his second career start after holding the Dodgers to one run and two hits in his first big league start last Wednesday.

Cleveland at Cincinnati 6:10 ET Reds over Indians- Both of these clubs are streaking in different directions. Cleveland has dropped four straight while Cincinnati has won their last three including yesterday's 3-2 Megabucks win. Indians starter Shane Bieber (2-0, 0.00) has been almost hittable allowing no runs and 27 strikeouts in his pair of starts posting two wins.

Chicago White Sox at Milwaukee 8:10 ET White Sox over Brewers- Taking five days off when you only have a 60-game schedule can end up being very taxing before it is all over. Milwaukee will get back on the field for the first time since last Wednesday through no of their own but rather because a few Cardinals flew-the-coop and tested positive. It seems a bit strange to me that the Brewers and White Sox would be a virtual pick'em in Milwaukee especially when you see what Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (0-1, 12.27 ERA) did his first time out. Brew Crew outfield hurting as Cain and now Braun are out and Yelich is just 1-for-23. Take CHICAGO WHITE SOX! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Cleveland at Cincinnati 6:40 ET Reds over Indians- I love this game for a number of reasons including the pitching matchup. Sonny Gray (2-0, 0.71 ERA) has a record of 35 consecutive starts of allowing six hits or fewer and he has been outstanding in 2020 with 20 K's in just 12.2 innings work. The downer for Cincinnati is that they have lost 10 of 11 at home to the Indians but the Tribe are 8-22 as an underdog on the road. Take CINCINNATI! Thank you and Good Luck! |

New York's David Peterson (1-0, 3.18 ERA) was impressive in his debut surrendering just two runs in six innings at Fenway Park. Atlanta's starter Kyle Wright (0-1, 16.88) gave up five runs in just 2.2 innings against Tampa Bay and will most likely fall here. Take NEW YORK! |

San Diego at Colorado 8:10 ET Padres over Rockies- Every year it happens and I hope it happens here when you get an also ran like San Diego that catches fire early and takes down decent teams day after day. Would that be case then we take the Padres for the third straight time in Colorado. This really has nothing to do with who's pitching (although it always is nice),but a team has an aura when they are playing well and good things happen, coming from behind with 4-runs in the ninth is a great example. Also, on the other side the Rockies blew their home opener and may be a little dejected and should have trouble getting where they need to be mentally. Take SAN DIEGO! |

Houston at L.A. Angels 7:07 ET Angels over Astros- Los Angeles make some off season moves and with Mike Trout on the squad they are always considered a contender although they rarely play like one. The Angels have won just two of their first eight games and with this short season they could soon be out of the race for the playoffs. Today, they will start Griffin Canning (0-1, 5.79 ERA) who had seven K's in 4.2 innings in his first outing while Houston will start former Cy Young winner Zack Greinke (0-0, 8.10) who has seen his better days in the rear view mirror.

Gio Gonzalez (0-0, 14.75 ERA) was pounded in his first start against the Twins and yet he opens that favorite on the road here. Chicago has had little success against the Royals winning just two of the last eight meetings and yet they are favored. The 'price' gives me the WHITE SOX! Thank you and Good Luck! |

San Diego has won back-back series to open the season for the first time in 13 years and currently have the best ERA among starters in the NL at 2.07. The pitching match-up today should be a good one as the Rockies Jon Gray (0-0, 1.93 ERA) is 10-4 with a 2.97 ERA lifetime against San Diego and Garrett Richards (0-0, 0.00) who is back after missing almost all of 2019. Tough call but Gray should be a heavier favorite at Home and it looks as though the odds makers lean toward the Padres...so will I Take SAN DIEGO! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Washington at Houston 8:08 ET Nationals over Astros- Ain't this a blast! Major League Baseball will play their version of a 'Super Bowl' with a winner take all Game 7 in the World Series. I find few things as exciting as this 'Game 7' except of course for the Super Bowl itself. Pitching, pitching whose pitching for whom, and how long with they last. I would suspect that it will be Max Scherzer for the Nationals and Houston will counter with Zack Greinke with a very short leash. If you want to play by the 'numbers', Max has been superior both during the regular season and the playoffs as well going 3-0 in 19 innings surrendering only 10 hits with a 1.42 ERA. Believe it or not but Washington is 11-1 in the last 12 meetings in Houston and 22-8 overall in the last 30 meetings. Still, the thing that bothers me here is that when push comes to shove the Nationals look too easy to resist, so...Take the ASTROS! |
