Wednesday inexperienced pitcher Nestor Cortes will be on the mound for the Yankees opposed veteran Michael Wacha of the Rays. Cortes has not pitched more than 4.2 innings in any outing this year. A positive though is both of Cortes prior starts on July 4th and July 9th the Yankees won. Take the underdog Yankees as Michael Wacha has surrendered eight home runs his last four starts. 

Over Oakland’s last thirty games they have faltered at just 12-18. Monday’s off day was a chance to refocus for the As as they continue their road trip Tuesday against San Diego. For how well the Padres have been at home at 33-19, a weak link has been pitcher Chris Paddack. His home ERA of 6.94 should help the As build an early lead. Grab Oakland as they hang on as road underdogs.

The Kansas City Royals thrived as home underdogs for the fourth straight day Monday. Tuesday look for the White Sox to settle back in and showcase why they are the top team in the AL Central at 59-41. They’ve dominated the division and should have no issues halting the Royals six game streak with Brad Keller on the mound. Play the White Sox. 

The Rockies won on the run line in consecutive nights against the Dodgers and on the money line Friday. Those close results has placed value against their All Star pitcher in German Marquez as they continue their road trip against the Angels. Throughout his career Marquez has been a streaky pitcher. In his last start he allowed seven hits, which were his highest in six starts. Capitalize against him for a second consecutive start post All-Star break. 

The Washington Nationals continue to slide as they have lost four straight. Monday they will battle an NL East divisional opponent in the Philadelphia Phillies, with Joe Ross returning from the injured list. Ross has not pitched since July 4th, and likely won’t be over extended today. Look for the Phillies to capitalize in the latter innings against the Nationals bullpen that has struggled as of late. Grab the Phillies.

The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to complete a three-game weekend series sweep over the Chicago White Sox. Friday and Saturday’s wins featured both dominating pitching and hitting at the plate. Tonight will not be as easy against White Sox veteran Lance Lynn. Yet the run support will be lacking as the White Sox have scored two runs or less in three straight. Back the Brewers. 

White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito is coming off his first complete game of the 2021 season against the Astros. Expect issues facing a Brewers team that’s lost consecutive games and is rested after having Thursday off. In what may be a low-scoring game look for All Star Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta to out-duel Lucas Giolitio. Play the Brewers. 

Thursday the Tampa Bay Rays made a questionable move acquiring Nelson Cruz from the Minnesota Twins. Friday they remain on the road as they continue their road series against the Cleveland Indians. Rays pitcher Josh Fleming just saw this Indians team on July 7th when he pitched 2.2 innings. Look for his familiarity to help offset the command issues seen in his recent start against the Braves. Back the Rays to push their win streak to four games

The LA Dodgers won in walk off fashion Tuesday night, 8-6, completing an incredible come back against the San Francisco Giants. The win propelled the Dodgers to an impressive 31-15 record at home. Look for momentum to continue Wednesday as the Dodgers have won four straight starts with Julio Urias pitching. Grab LA.

Monday featured several blowouts on the diamond, one of which were the Detroit Tigers 14-0 victory over the Texas Rangers. The loss marked the third game in a row that the Rangers were shutout. In fact they have not scored a run since Friday’s loss to the Blue Jays. Expect their bats to bounce back as they’ve provided pitcher Dane Dunning an average of nine runs his last three starts. Take the Rangers.

German Marquez of the Rockies made his first All-Star appearance thanks to his incredible efficiency at home. He’s sustained just one loss at Coors Field on the year but this is a vulnerable spot for the Rockies. The Seattle Mariners defeated the Colorado Rockies in this same scenario of a Monday off day for both teams on June 22nd. Look for the Mariners to topple Marquez’s dominant home streak as big Tuesday underdogs.

Rangers All Star pitcher Kyle Gibson has had a full twelve days off since his first loss of the season on July 7th. That loss was against today’s opponent in the Detroit Tigers, as Gibson matched a season-high in earned runs allowed with five. Perhaps more troubling for the Rangers is they were shutout in both of yesterday’s doubleheader games against the Blue Jays. Back Detroit to hand Gibson his second loss of the season.

Tonight marks the fifth matchup between the Mariners and Angels since July 9th. Friday night the LA Angels came close to rallying in the ninth inning with three runs but fell short, 6-5. Expect the Angels to challenge Mariners pitcher Yusei Kikuchi’s road ERA of 2.68 as he lasted just four innings against the Angels on June 5th. Back LA

Saturday, the Atlanta Braves will turn to starting pitcher Max Fried against the Tampa Bay Rays. Fried has had his ups in downs this season, but the Braves have won his last three home starts. Expect enough of a runs cushion for the Braves to hold off the Rays late. Back Atlanta. 

In the last leg of Saturday baseball we will secure value on the Mariners. Seattle took game one yesterday against the Angels thanks to scoring the final seven runs. Although the Angels have won Patrick Sandoval’s last four home starts, the Mariners have excelled at win streaks especially at home. Back the Mariners. 

One of the more impressive stories of the first half of the MLB season has been Reds pitcher Wade Miley. Miley has an ERA of 3.06 and the Reds have won six of his last seven starts. Today he’ll be opposed Brewers pitcher Eric Lauer who has struggled in both of his starts against the Reds this year. Back the slight underdog Reds to defeat the NL Central leaders.

The Houston Astros boosted their win streak to five games on Tuesday, as they came from behind to win 9-6 over the As. Wednesday, Oakland will turn to veteran Sean Manaea who has won three of his past four regular season starts against Houston. Grab the As as Manaea gets his second road win of the season at Houston and the As end Houston’s win streak. Grab Oakland.

Yankees pitcher Jameson Tailon’s struggles have not disappeared, but he has received high run support his last two starts. Against the Royals the Yankees scored eight runs and in Tailon’s last outing they scored eleven against the Angels. Mariners left handed pitcher Justus Sheffield has not won a home start since May 28th. Grab the Yankees to continue to provide high run support for Tailon.

Heading to All-Star break one of the teams that has dipped have been the Oakland As. They are just 4-7 over their last eleven games, and Tuesday they’ll face divisional rival in the Houston Astros. Expect the Astros to continue to attack the As recent weak spot in their bullpen to offset dominant starter Chris Bassitt. Take the Astros.

Monday, the Minnesota Twins will have a chance to redeem themselves after losing the prior three series to the White Sox. Overall they’ve lost eight of nine games to the White Sox including losing all three last week. In a nationally televised game expect Dylan Cease’s road ERA of 6.08 to continue to climb. Back the Twins.

Friday, the Seattle Mariners scored four late inning runs against the Rangers bullpen and were able to win in extra innings. They’ve now defeated the Rangers in all five home matchups this season. Expect another win on the horizon tonight with Rangers pitcher Jordan Lyles high road ERA of 5.10. Back Seattle.

Friday, the Boston Red Sox will aim to continue their upward momentum. They’ve won seven straight games with consecutive series sweeps over the Yankees and Red Sox. Seek the value on the Red Sox as Eduardo Rodriguez has averaged over nine runs of support his last five starts. Grab the Red Sox as Frankie Montas struggles continue.

The New York Mets stormed back Tuesday scoring four runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Braves, 4-3. Wednesday, they find themselves big underdogs once again against Braves top pitcher Max Fried. Over Fried’s last six starts he has had a zig zag pattern of wins and losses. Grab the Mets to outlast the Braves here with the stronger bullpen. 

Braves pitcher Charlie Morton has been dominant for the month of June, but also has seen a steep rise in his pitch count. Over his last two outings he has thrown 107 and 112 pitches, compared to an average of 83 pitches his prior seven starts. Grab the value on the underdog Mets here as the Braves have averaged just 2.2 runs over their last ten games. 

Adbert Alzolay’s last outing in California was not a good one against the Padres. Tonight he’ll have the prime time spot against the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw. Throughout the Cubs lengthy road trip they’ve come through in big underdog spot with great team play. Ride that angle here as they get timely runs and get boosted play from their pen. Grab the Cubs 

A blunder can occur even against a poor team in baseball. That was the case Saturday as the Padres bats went cold and sustained an unfathomable loss to the Diamondbacks. Sunday, they’ll retain heightened odds with Yu Darvish on the mound. Expect the Padres bats to bounce back and answer after Saturday’s poor outing. Grab the run line here.

The LA Dodgers have lost four consecutive games and were no hit by the Cubs Zach Davies and bullpen Thursday. Hits and runs are expected to happen Friday as they will face Cubs struggling veteran Jake Arrieta. Expect his slide to continue and for the Dodgers to finally get a win against the Cubs this season, as they are 0-4 thus far on the year. Play the Dodgers run line. 

After consecutive series on the road the Oakland As return to the Bay Area against the Giants. Last season the As controlled this series and dominated the Giants bullpen to lopsided victories in five of six games. Look for value here on the As side on a reduced priced based on the Giants having an off day Thursday. Grab Oakland here.

Thursday, the St. Louis Cardinals will aim to end a prolonged slump that includes a three-game losing streak. They’ll face a Pittsburgh Pirates team that has won outright or on the run-line in five straight games. That poses value on a Cardinals team that should garner a quick exit from Pirates struggling pitcher Chad Kuhl. Grab the Cardinals.

Road starts have been unfriendly for Indians pitcher JC Mejia. Thus far in the month of June the Indians have lost all three of Mejia’s road starts. Furthermore, Mejia’s first outing of the season was a 10-0 loss to the Twins. That’s placed value on the Indians today as Jose Berrios has lost his last five starts against Cleveland. Grab the big underdog here.

Wednesday, the Tampa Bay Rays will look to end a seven game losing streak. The streak has been exacerbated because of extra inning failures by the Rays, as their last three losses were in extra innings. With Red Sox pitcher Garrett Richards struggling don’t expect this one to go into extra innings. Back the Rays. 

The New York Mets still have one of the best MLB home records at 21-8. Tuesday they’ll take on a Braves team that has failed to get enough traction to get back over .500. Yet, look for the Braves to take advantage two-fold against Marcus Stroman and the Mets who struggles to get run support at home in his starts. Back the Braves. 

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal has seen improvement in his young career as of late. Yet, the St. Louis Cardinals come having had Monday off, and also did not play Saturday due to a postponed game against the Braves. Last season Skubal lasted just two innings in his worst career start, and surrendered six runs to the Cardinals. Back St. Louis. 

Monday, the Twins won in extra innings over the Cincinnati Reds 7-5. It marked their fifth straight win, and for the Reds it was their fifth straight loss. Tuesday will mark the Reds last game of a nine-game road trip. An early start time of 1PM EST and an off day tomorrow for the Reds spells another sluggish performance. Back the Twins here.

The last time the Dodgers faced the Padres they blew a Sunday night prime time 7-1 lead. Monday, they’ll see Yu Darvish for the third time and get to catch him in non peak form. Over his last four starts he has surrendered a home run and he has also seen his strikeout rate decline. Back the Dodgers to get their fourth straight win.  

Monday, the Cincinnati Reds will embark on their eighth straight road game against the Minnesota Twins. They’ll face struggling pitcher JA Happ who has seen his ERA balloon to 6.12. Expect the Reds to break through as Happ has allowed eight or more hits in all of his June starts. Back the Reds. 

Monday, the Oakland As travel in to face the Texas Rangers after a road series against the Yankees. On the mound for the Rangers will be veteran Kyle Gibson. Gibson has not surrendered more than three runs in any of his last twelve starts. Back the home underdog here as the Rangers bullpen holds. 

The Atlanta Braves Drew Smyly will likely have a short leash tonight based on his ERA over seven at home. Yet, with the Cardinals woes as of late look for the door to be left open for an Atlanta Braves rally. In what will be just a seven inning game take the Braves to win in the second matchup on the cheaper price. Play Atlanta. 

The Tampa Bay Rays continue to lose on the road and have now suffered five straight losses. The string have been by a multitude of factors but today offers a high chance to end the streak. Shana McClanahan may have lost his last time out but showed signs of his May form when the Rays won all his starts. Look for a good game from the Rays at the plate and the high road price to pay off. Grab the Rays. 

The Arizona Diamondbacks continue to defy what rock-bottom can be for a professional baseball team. They were shutout Friday 3-0 which marked their fifteenth straight loss. In their last eight shutout losses they’ve lost the following game each time. Furthermore, they have not scored more than two runs in five prior matchups this season against the Dodgers. Play the run line here.

The Colorado Rockies are on a season-high five game win streak, and are second in baseball with twenty-five home wins. Yet, Saturday the advantage should go to the Milwaukee Brewers. They have intel on Rockies pitcher Austin Gomber from his days as a St. Louis Cardinal. Grab the slight underdog here with Milwaukee.

Friday, the White Sox will look to bounce back after losing the series opener to the Astros 10-2 on Thursday. It was their biggest loss of the season in terms of run differential and the second-highest runs they’ve allowed. Expect the White Sox to bounce back led by ace Carlos Rodon. Back the White Sox as slight road favorites.

The Chicago White Sox head to Houston having won six of their last seven games. Yet, they’ve had a home friendly schedule as today will mark their first non-divisional road game since May 23rd. Grab Houston to win their fourth straight game.

The Tampa Bay Rays success on the road has correlated to an MLB best 43-24 record. Tuesday, they are a small underdog based on Shane McClanahan’s 9.95 ERA in the month of June. Yet, look for the Rays at the plate to provide strong run support for McClanahan which should settle the 24 year old in. In a battle of a veteran pitcher vs a first year starter grab Tampa Bay.

Taiquan Walker has been one of the top offseason additions based on performance for the 2021 season. Over his last four home starts he has allowed just one run in nineteen innings. The Chicago Cubs should be able to change that as they gave Walker his worst outing of the season at home on April 20th. Issues with his command led to six walks and an early exit after 3.2 innings. Back the underdog Cubs.

The Boston Red Sox had their worst loss in five years Sunday 18-4 to Toronto. The loss happened by leaving relief pitcher Ryan Weber in for an extended amount of innings before they closed out the game with position players. Look for a fresh bullpen to be available, and the Red Sox offense to deliver a bit of payback against Alek Manoah. Grab the Red Sox. 

This is strictly a value play for me. Just seven days ago the Padres were a home underdog against the Mets with Joe Musgrove on the mound. Now they’re favored against a Mets team that is 16-5 at home. That tells me something, along with the fact that the Mets struggle to provide run support for Stroman at home as they’ve averaged just 2.25 runs.

The Oakland As are coming off a questionable Thursday loss to the Kansas City Royals. Six runs by the Royals in the 7th and 8th innings were the difference. Expect that confidence to carry over tonight as the As have followed a home loss with an additional loss five straight occurrences. Play Kansas City.

Friday, the Seattle Mariners will embark on their third consecutive series on the road against the Cleveland Indians. They’ll face an Indians team that they defeated in three of four games in mid-May. The Indians have also lost five straight Friday’s all by two runs or more. Play Seattle.

Thursday, the Blue Jays are the road favorite against the White Sox and Dallas Keuchel. Expect veteran Hyun Jin Ryu to shake off his last outing of allowing six earned runs against the Astros. Weak competition in the AL Central is the main reason the White Sox lead MLB with a 24-11 home record making Thursday an attractive price on Toronto. Take the Blue Jays here as Dallas Keuchel’s 4.25 ERA climbs more. Grab Toronto

Tuesday and Wednesday the Houston Astros took advantage of a Red Sox team that did not have Monday off. Thursday, look for a different outcome as the Red Sox are facing an Astros team playing their sixth straight road game. Furthermore, value exists as Eduardo Rodriguez is a cheaper price than he was as a road favorite against the Astros on May 31st. Grab Boston. 

Wednesday, the St. Louis Cardinals will attempt to end their longest losing streak since July 2013. Having lost six games in a row, they’ll have a prime opportunity today as the Indians start relief pitcher Jean Carlos Mejia. With the Indians needing heavy use from their bullpen, look for the Cardinals to finally deliver. Grab St. Louis

A current nine game road trip for the New York Mets has shortened Wednesday’s price offering. Matt Harvey’s issues on the mound will prevent the Orioles from building off winning five of six. Thus far, Harvey’s ERA is 6.62 and he had his worst start this year against the Mets on May 12th. Back the Mets 

Alex Wood’s struggles continue to compound for the San Francisco Giants. San Francisco has lost his last three starts, and he is coming off his worst start of the season against the Angels. Grab the Rangers in a buy low spot after losing eleven of twelve. Play Texas

The Houston Astros were stout in last week’s home series winning three of four over the Red Sox. Pitcher Framber Valdez delivered ten strikeouts in his victory over the Red Sox, and has a fresh arm with this being his third start of the year. Back the Astros to end the Red Sox five-game win streak.

Monday, the Padres will seek payback against the Cubs as they were swept last week. On the mound for the Cubs will be Adbert Alzolay. With just sixteen career starts, Alzolay has never pitched in a late game on the west coast. Look for the Padres to take advantage seeing Alzolay for the second time in less than a week. Grab the Padres.

Rookie pitcher Jackson Kowar will make his debut for the Kansas City Royals tonight against the LA Angels. While Kowar may struggle, the Royals should be able to provide run support. Dylan Bundy has allowed seven home runs over his last three starts, and is winless on the season. Back the underdog Royals.

For the second time in five games the Seattle Mariners allowed twelve runs in yesterday’s loss to the Angels. With a quick turn around money line value has soared on the Angels side. Yet, with Patrick Sandoval on the mound the Angels have failed to score a run in consecutive starts. Take the big underdog here in the Mariners today. 

Saturday, Clayton Kershaw will face the Atlanta Braves for the first time since last season’s game four 10-2 NLCS loss. He’s coming off his worst start of the season in which he had a 7.50 ERA against the San Francisco Giants. The outing marked four games in a row he has surrendered a home run, which is a main factor into today’s short price. Back the home underdog here in the Braves.

The New York Yankees are 0-4 against divisional opponents with pitcher Jameson Taillon on the mound. Expect Boston to finally deliver some run support for pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez, as they’ve been outscored 29-5 his last four starts. Take the Red Sox to drop the Yankees to 3-9 over their last twelve games. 

Out in the NL West the Oakland As will travel to face divisional foe in the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies come in having won four straight and will have veteran pitcher Jon Gray on the mound tonight. 19-12 at home the Rockies are likely to continue to deliver at the plate, but expect Oakland to have 2-3 strong innings of runs to offset. Grab Oakland. 

Thursday, the Chicago Cubs travel to San Francisco to begin a four-game road series. They had one of the best months of May of any team going 19-8 overall, and have carried that over with two wins in June. Expect that to continue Thursday as Anthony Desclafani has struggled at home with an ERA of 5.09. Grab the Cubs.

A smaller line exists for the Cardinals today for one main reason. The Reds had their Wednesday game postponed against the Phillies, while the Cardinals were rocked by the Dodgers 14-3. Yet, look for the Cardinals to bounce back against a division rival that is throwing out inexperienced pitcher Vladimir Gutierrez. Grab the Cardinals.

Ten runs allowed by the Mariners from the seventh inning on were the difference in Oakland’s 12-6 Tuesday victory. A troubling sign for the Mariner’s is that they’ve allowed fifteen runs from the seventh inning on their last three games. With Oakland’s familiarity and success against the Mariner’s bullpen expect that theme to continue tonight. Play Oakland. 

Wednesday expect a difficult outing for Yankees pitcher Jordan Montgomery. On the season Montgomery has already faced the Rays three times, in which he has given up five of his seven total home runs allowed. Expect the Rays to continue to hit well against Montgomery and deliver as underdogs Wednesday. 

 Last year Toronto went 17-9 in Buffalo and will make their return debut today against the Marlins. Unlike last season they’ll have fans in the stands and be able to feel a true home crowd element. Furthermore, Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara’s last two starts were against the Phillies, marking eighteen days since he has seen a different opponent. Play the Blue Jays. 

Value is to be had Monday on the Red Sox on an expected reversal of run support for pitcher Jose Urquidy. Victorious over his last four starts the Astros have scored twenty seven runs to the opposition’s seven. In fact, he threw a season-low 44 pitches his last start against the Angels. Instead of that benefitting Urquidy look for it to throw him off his routine against a potent Red Sox lineup. Grab Boston. 

Memorial Day the Philadelphia Phillies are on the road for a seventh straight time against the Cincinnati Reds. Starting pitcher Vince Velasquez has had quite a month, allowing just three runs in twenty-three innings. On a short price look for the Reds to end Velasquez’s streak as the Phillies stumble to 10-19 on the road.

Pitcher Adam Wainwright for the Cardinals has had a pattern all season long of following a great outing with a subpar game. He’s coming off his best performance of the season in an eight inning one-hit gem against the Cubs. Look for Arizona to finally finish off a game and end a twelve game losing streak.

Friday may be the Diamondbacks best chance to end a prolonged eleven game losing streak. On paper they have the starting pitcher advantage with Madison Bumgarner, but he has declined his last two outings. Look for the Diamondbacks to falter once more. Play the underdog. 

Friday’s have been unkind to the Cleveland Indians in the month of May. They’re 0-3, with the opponents scoring twenty runs to the Indians three. Even with Toronto coming off a Thursday road double-header against the Yankees, look for Toronto to have the upper hand against rookie Eli Morgan. Grab Toronto.

The Arizona Diamondbacks hit another low Wednesday as they dropped a 4-0 lead and lost to the Giants. The loss marked their tenth straight loss and dropped them to 18-32. A bright spot is they remain home and will face a Cardinals team that had their issues in their last series against the White Sox. Look for the Diamondbacks to finally end their losing streak.

The Blue Jays Robbie Ray has been one of the more efficient starters when you factor his Ks and earned runs. He had been one of the top starting pitchers receiving strong run support until his last outing against the Rays. With this being the second matchup of a double header look for value here on the Yankees. 

A heavy price on the A’s is justified Tuesday due to the Mariners issues on the road. They have not won consecutively on the road since April 10th and 11th against the Minnesota Twins. Expect that trend to continue as the As bounce back from a rough outing Monday night at the plate. Play Oakland.

Expect the LA Dodgers to build on a seven-game win streak as they travel to face the Houston Astros. Astros starting pitcher Zach Greinke has not had three consecutive quality starts since May 2019. Look for the Dodgers to muster enough at the plate to hand the Astros their fourth straight loss.

Saturday, St. Louis had to over extend their bullpen when Miles Mikolas left with injury. That’s posed value for Sunday night on the Cardinals with the assumption the bullpen is fatigued. Yet the Cubs had issues hitting with just five total for the game. Look for their issues to continue as St. Louis gets another win.

Friday, the Minnesota Twins travel into Cleveland after playing a double-header Thursday against the Angels. Expect the Indians to have the upper hand based on the Twins travel factor, and the Twins prolonged stretch that has featured twelve of fifteen losses. Play Cleveland. 

Nothing went right for the Cincinnati Reds in their last series against the San Francisco Giants. They were swept in four games and lost Thursday 19 to 4. Compounding their pitching woes was the fact they scored an average of 2.25 runs. Look for their troubles to continue Friday as Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser boasts a strong road ERA of 2.49. Play the Brewers.

The White Sox have taken advantage of having their last four series against subpar division rivals in the Royals and Twins. During the stretch they were able to go 10-3 and distance themselves from a prior near .500 record. Friday look for a step up in competition against the Yankees to to be a challenge for White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodon’s hot start. Play the Yankees.

Phillies pitcher Vince Velasquez has defied several spots as a big underdog. His turn around has featured three consecutive starts allowing less than four hits and one run. Look for the Marlins to break that streak as they have a breakout game at the plate, and conclude a ten game road trip on a positive note. Take the Marlins as a slight underdog 

Tuesday, every batter that came to the plate registered a hit for the Blue Jays. Look for the hot hitting to continue against Red Sox pitcher Garrett Richards. On April 21st against the Blue Jays, Richards lasted just 4.2 innings and allowed a season-high six walks. Take the Blue Jays. 

An over extended road trip for the Miami Marlins is currently on their third series. Signs of road fatigue were evident yesterday as the Marlins gave up seven crucial runs in the eighth inning. Wednesday look for a spark at the plate as Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin has allowed an average of 7.6 hits over his last five starts. Additionally, he lasted just four innings last season against Miami. Take the Marlins. 

The Detroit Tigers have won six of eight games, and defeated the Mariners 4-1 Monday night. Seek value again on them tonight against Mariner’s starting pitcher Justin Dunn. Dunn has walked twenty batters through twenty-nine innings, which should aide the Tigers to another victory. Grab Detroit. 

Tuesday, the Oakland As will have revenge on their minds against division rival Houston. Dating back to the last year’s postseason the Oakland As have lost six straight home games to the Astros. In fact, their last home win came with today’s starter in Sean Manaea on the mound. Look for Manaea to shake off the rust of his last outing against Boston, and for the As to end their winless home streak against Houston. Grab Oakland.

Lance Lynn’s pattern of starting the season hot has continued. He boasts a 4-1 record and struck out nine batters in last week’s outing against the Twins. What stood out  in that performance as well was that Lynn needed 111 pitches to get through five innings. Look for the Twins to take advantage seeing Lynn a second time in a week. Grab Minnesota.

The St. Louis Cardinals pitching has surrendered eighteen runs to the Padres thus far Friday and Saturday. That’s placed value on them for Sunday Night’s main matchup, considering Padres pitchers Ryan Weathers fantastic .81 ERA. Look for another solid outing but for the Cardinals to outlast in the latter innings. Grab St. Louis. 

The Washington Nationals continue to struggle at 15-20, they’ve dropped five of their last seven. Yet look for value Sunday on the Nationals as Luke Weaver struggled in his start against the Nationals on April 17th. In fact, he gave up a season worst eight hits and lasted just four innings. Grab the Nationals. 

Friday, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the San Francisco Giants 3-2 in extra innings. On the year the Giants are undefeated at 4-0 following an extra inning game. Three of the wins were by multiple runs and the other was a 1-0 shutout over the Marlins. Look for that streak to continue Saturday as Johnny Cuetto bounces back from a rough outing against the Padres. Take the Giants.

For the second time this season the Atlanta Braves were swept by the Toronto Blue Jays. In the first instance the Braves won five of their next six. Look for value to go with that angle here again. Grab Atlanta to get back on track as they take advantage of the Brewers issues at the plate, as they’ve lost eight of 11. Take the Braves.

Friday, the LA Angels travel to face the Boston Red Sox as they look to snap Nick Pivetta’s 5-0 record. Pivetta’s  long term track record exemplifies that his overall production is due for a drop down. Angels manager Joe Maddon rested several starters Wednesday including Mike Trout, ahead of Thursday’s off day. Look for the move to pay off as the Angel’s drop the Red Sox to below .500 at home.

The Cleveland Indians have won eight of their last nine games. The lone loss was with tonight’s pitcher Zach Plesac. Plesac pitched eight shutout innings against the Reds only for the bullpen to blow the game in the top of the ninth. Look for that frustrating outing to carry over tonight and for the Mariners to capitalize. Grab Seattle.

Thursday, the Miami Marlins find themselves as a rare road favorite against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Expect for the Marlins to capitalize as Merrill Kelly struggles to go deep into games. This will give the Marlins bats plenty of opportunities against a Diamondbacks bullpen they took advantage of in a home sweep last week. Grab Miami.

An unfortunate start for the Washington Nationals has compounded as they’ve lost five of six. Tuesday they’ll have a solid opportunity to get back in the win column against a Phillies team that is 5-11 on the road. Additionally, momentum of the Phillies five game win streak has quickly faded after a crushing extra inning loss to the Braves on Saturday. Lingering effects continue as the Nationals take game one. Grab Washington

Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller has faltered in his past two home starts, and boasts a whopping 10.13 home ERA. Yet, the Reds have scored just six total runs in their past four games. They also did not play Sunday due to a postponed game. Look for the Pirates to capitalize on the Reds stranding runners, and for the home underdog to cash. Grab Pittsburgh.

Saturday, the Philadelphia Phillies will be attempting to win six straight games for the first time since July 2018. Starting pitcher Vince Velasquez is coming off a six-inning dominant performance against the Milwaukee Brewers, but there should be high concern for his durability today. Velasquez has pitched beyond six innings just three times in his last thirty-nine starts. Expect max usage from the Phillies bullpen today and take the Braves run line.

The Houston Astros had fifteen hits in yesterday’s cruising 10-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Two other instances that they’ve had fifteen or more hits they’ve scored just two and three runs. Grab the Blue Jays as they are averaging 6.75 runs over their last eight games. 

The Tampa Bay Rays won their fifth straight game Thursday to boost their road record to 11-5. They did so by punishing the LA Angels bullpen, which has been a significant issue for the Oakland As. In their past two games the As bullpen has surrendered eleven runs. Take the Rays as their win streak reaches six games.

In mid-April the Cincinnati Reds won two out of three games over the Cleveland Indians. The lone loss was with today’s starter Wade Miley on the mound, as he surrendered two home runs. That loss spurned a seven game losing streak for the Reds, and they’ve been 5-10 overall since. Look for an efficient outing today as the Reds end the Indians five game win streak. Take the Reds.

The Cleveland Indians gained another win Tuesday against the Royals, 7-3. Kansas City’s pitching staff has now allowed an average of 7.6 runs over their last five games. Today’s ace in Shane Bieber was prolific against the Royals last year, as he did not allow a run in both starts. Take the Indians as the Royals slide continues. 

Monday, the Cleveland Indians won consecutive road games for the first time this season. It’s a factor for why the price has rose today on the Royals side. Ex-Indian Carlos Santana should continue to stay red-hot at the plate and extend his hit streak to nine games.  Grab Kansas City as they get enough runs to offset Mike Minor’s home run issues.
