The RH is 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA this season while Pittsburgh has Jonathon Niese throwing. The LH is 1-0 with a 5.73 record this campaign, which doesn't bode well for the Pirates, who have allowed 30 runs during their current 4-game skid, but looking at the Brewers, they've yielded 25 runs over their L4 (2-2).

This is my Las Vegas Strip Move play.

Game 965.

10:10 am pst.

Cleveland's pitching staff held Tampa Bay to just 5 hits and 1 run yesterday and send Danny Salazar to the mound today. The RH is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA this season and won his only career start against Tampa Bay last June, allowing just 1 ER in 7 2/1 IP. The Rays are only 3-5 thus far, mainly due to ranking 24th in both RPG (3.00) and Team BA (.216). To make matters worse, they have Chris Archer at the bump here. The RH is 0-2 with a 7.20 mark on the campaign and owns an 0-3, 5.40 record in three lifetime starts vs. the Indians. The Tribe is 6-1 the L7 meetings vs. the Rays while the Rays are 1-5 in Archer's L6 overall starts. Take Cleveland. Thank you.

The Orioles are 9-0 their L9 vs. the AL east, 6-1 in Jiminezs L7 starts, and 23-9 their L32 overall. Take Baltimore. Thank you.

Take Washington on the RUN LINE.

This is my Grand Slam play.

Texas is 12-1 in Hamel's L13 overall starts. Take the Rangers. Thank you.

Take Chicago.

This is my LVSM.

Game 913.

5:10 pm pst.

Don't read into the hype surrounding the media downing the Cubs due to injuries. They are solid and have the overshadowed, Kyle Hendricks throwing here, as the RH posted an ERA of 2.13 in 7 Spring starts while Zack Greinke was shelled in his debut. The Cubs are 4-1 the L5 meetings in this series and 14-4 their L18 on the road. Take Chicago. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my Grand Slam.

Game 905.

1:05 pm pst.

Clayton Kershaw is in mid-season form, as he fanned 9, holding San Diego scoreless in his first start and owns a 16-7, 2.54 record in 30 career starts vs. San Fran. The Giants are 5-11 their L16 vs. LH starters while the Dodgers are 4-0 in Kershaw's L4 road starts. Take LA. Thank you.

Take New York.

This is my Home Run play.

Game 963.

10:10 am pst.

After a lackluster opening day loss, New York has exploded for 24 runs and 2 consecutive wins and face a Detroit team that they have downed in 5 of the L6 meetings, entering this contest with confidence, having won 6 of Luis Severino’s L8 starts. Take the Yankees. Thank you.

Take San Francisco.

This is my Hall of Fame game.

Game 906.

1:35 pm pst.

Jake Peavy has dominated Los Angeles, going 14-3 with a 2.38 ERA in 29 career starts against them, which is both, the highest win total and lowest ERA among all active pitchers. The RH faces a Dodgers team that put up 25 runs in their 3-game sweep of the Padres. But, let's face it, San Diego is one of the worst teams in baseball. Not to take anything away from LA, but they weren't tested on either side of the plate. Los Angeles has Alex Wood on the hill. The LH lost his only other start against San Fran, and comes in here having struggled in Spring play, with an 0-3, 7.13 record in 5 starts and is being nagged by forearm stiffness already. Both teams are touted to win approximately 89 games, however, the Giants, who have won 12 of their L15 home openers, are 4-1 to take the NL pennant, while the Dodgers are 5-1. San Francisco is solid on both offense and defense, as they showed posting 17 runs and allowing just 8 in their opening series (2-1) against Milwaukee. Los Angeles is 2-8 their L10 games played at San Francisco and 2-5 in Wood's L7 road starts. San Francisco is 25-12 their L37 games played at home and 8-0 in Peavy's L8 starts at home. Take the Giants. Thank you.

Take Washington on the RUN LINE over Atlanta.

This is my NL EAST Game of the Week.

Washington returns a pennant-contending team again as Atlanta is (along with Philly) the longest shot on the NL board. The Nationals took Game 1 to bring them 6 wins in the L8 meetings over their NL East rivals, by an average of 5.16 RPG. Stephen Strasburg makes his first start of the season. The RH was 11-7 with 3.46 ERA in 2015. he goes up against RH, Bud Norris who owned a 3-11, 6.72 record last year and went 1-3 with a 6.46 mark in 6 Spring starts. The Nats are 19-7 the L26 meetings vs. the Braves, 4-1 their L5 vs. LH starters, and 4-1 in Strasburgs L5 starts vs. the Braves. The Braves are 2-7 their L9 vs. the NL East, 5-16 their L21 in Game 2 of a series, and 16-36 their L52 overall. Take Washington on the RUN LINE. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my Double Play.

Game 969.

4:05 pm pst.

New York struggles with Houston, as we saw again yesterday, losing, 5-3, and making it their 4th straight defeat against the Astros, and scoring a total of 8 runs in their L6 meetings. Michael Pineda gets the nod here. The RH was 12-10 with a 4.37 record LY, allowing opponents to hit .278, and was crushed for 12 HR's in his L11 starts. Houston sends Collin McHugh to the bump. The RH was 2-0 with an ERA of 1.88 vs. NY a season ago. The Astros are 13-5 the L18 meetings vs. the Yankees while the Yankees are 1-5 their L6 at home. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take Chicago.

This is my IL Game of the Week.

Game 973.

7:05 pm pst.

For the Cubs, 2016 must be the year they step up. They are the favorite to take the NL pennant and are touted to win over 93 games. In addition to their young standouts, they signed Heyward and Zobrist in the off-season. Jake Arrieta takes the mound. The RH won his L11 decisions en route to the NL Cy Young and a 22-6, 1.77 record. LA is "supposed" to be a better team this campaign but opens with Garrett Richards (15-12, 3.65 ERA in 2015) which tells me alot. The Angels are 1-5 their L6 IL games while the Cubs are  21-8 in Arrietas L29 road starts. Take Chicago. Thank you.

Take Tampa Bay.

This is my Base Hit.

Game 970.

4:10 pm pst.

This is a quick turnaround from yesterday when we had Toronto. Tampa Bay had 3 runs and 7 hits and brought the game down to the wire in the 9th. Toronto has RA Dickey throwing. The RH was 3-8 with a 4.83 ERA last year on the road and has had problems with Tampa bay batters, going 1-3 with a 4.40 mark LY vs. the Rays. Drew Smyly gets the nod for TB. The LH won his final 5 decisions last season, posting a 2.50 ERA in September. The Blue Jays are 1-5 in Dickeys L6 road starts vs. the Rays while the Rays are 6-1 in Smylys L7 home starts. Take Tampa Bay. Thank you.

Tale Los Angeles on the RL.

This is my Grand Slam.

Game 957.

4:05 pm pst.

Three-time Cy Young winner, Clayton Kershaw makes his 6th straight opening day start. The LH posted a 1.96 ERA in 6 Spring training starts and owns a 12-6 record with a 2.25 ERA in 27 career starts vs. San Diego. The Dodgers have won 5 straight season openers and have taken the L6 in this series by an average of 3.0 RPG.  San Diego is a bottom tier team again this season, touted to win just 74 games. They send Tyson Ross to the bump. The RH was 10-12 in 2015 and 0-6 in career starts vs. LA. The Dodgers are 7-0 in Kershaws L7 starts vs. the Padres. Take Los Angeles on the RL. Thank you.

Take Kansas City.

Game 908.

5:35 pm pst.

Kansas City trampled New York in 5 games to win the World Series. Both teams are among the top in their League's to win pennants again. NY dropped 14 of their L5 Spring contests and send Matt Harvey to the bump. The RH struggled in exhibition play giving up a slew of ER's and BB's. The Royals give Edinson Volquez the nod. The team is 7-0 in the RH's L7 Inter League starts while the Mets are just 1-6 in their L7 IL outings. Here are a few more stats for you. KC is 20-7 their L27 IL home games, 9-2 in Volquezs L11 overall starts, and 16-5 their L21 overall. NY is 1-5 their L6 IL road games, 0-4 in Harveys L4 IL starts, and 2-9 their L11 vs. the AL Central. Take the Royals. Thank you.

Take Toronto.

This is my Home Run Play.

Game 903.

1:05 pm pst.

Toronto topped the AL East last year and was two wins away from the World Series while Tampa Bay finished the season under .500. The Blue Jay’s return one of the strongest lineups in baseball and have a healthy (RH) Marcus Stroman on the mound. The Rays were one of the AL’s poorest scoring teams and have quite a few new faces that will take a while to mesh. They send (RH) Chris Archer to the bump, who was 3-8 at home in 2015. I side with a Toronto team that took 5 of the L7 in this AL East rivalry and will come out with something to prove. Take the Blue Jays. Thank you.  

Take New York.

This is my Diamond Play.

With their back to the wall, down 3-1, and at home, I must side with the better starting pitching of the New York Mets today and Matt Harvey. The RH is 15-8 on the season, including a 10-3 mark at home, and a 2-0 record in the post-season. He goes up against Edinson Volquez. The RH is 1-2 with a 4.37 ERA in the Playoffs and has had issues this season despite an overall 15-8 record. KC's stats drop on the road and face a NY team that boasts a 53-34 home mark in 2015. Take The Mets. Thank you.

Play New York (Game 906).

This is my Diamond play.

New York, down 2-0, comes home here in Game 3, where the Mets boast a 52-33 mark on the season. They have Noah Syndergaard on the hill. The RH is 8-2, with a 2.41 ERA at Shea Stadium on the season. The Royals send Yordano Ventura to the bump. The RH is winless in this post-season, making 4 starts and owns a 4.36 ERA on the road in 2015. New York is 14-6 their L20 home Playoff games and 4-1 their L5 straight at home. Kansas City is 2-5 their L7 road Playoff games and 0-5 in Ventura's L5 Interleague starts. Take the Mets. Thank you.

Play New York (Game 901).

Kansas City had the best regular season record in the AL, at 95-67. New York finished with a 90-72 mark. The Royals went through the Astros in 5 games and the Blue Jays in 6, while the Mets dispatched the Dodgers in 5 and swept the Cubs, giving the team 2 extra days to rest and prepare. Matt Harvey takes the mound for NY, well-rested, having 9 days between starts. The RH is 15-8, with a 2.72 ERA overall, including 2-0 with a 2.84 post-season mark. Although the 26 year old has never faced KC, he does own a 3-1, 0.93 record in 8 career Interleague turns. Edinson Volquez gets the nod at home. The RH is 14-11 with a 3.61 ERA overall, including a 1-2, 4.32 record in this post-season. He just picked up his first career Playoffs win in 5 starts and has issued 12 BB's in 16 2/3 IP in post-season turns. The 32 year old has had problems with the Mets, going 2-5 with an ERA of 5.70, in 9 career starts against them. Kansas City's pitching staff did play 2 more Playoff games. And had to face Houston and Toronto, but yielded 15 HR's and 47 ER's. New York's pitchers went up against Los Angeles and Chicago, but only allowed 5 HR's and 22 ER's. Daniel Murphy has taken it to another level, accounting for 11 runs, 16 hits, 11 RBI's, and 7 HR's (6 straight games with a Homer). The 2B does more than his numbers show. He makes it easier for the rest of the Mets lineup to produce. New York is 16-5 their L21 in Game 1 of a series, 19-7 their L26 road games vs. RH starters, 35-16 their L51 overall road games, and 5-2 in Harvey's L7 starts. Kansas City is 1-11 their L12 in Game 1 of a series, 1-4 their L5 vs. the NL East, 2-6 their L8 Interleague games vs. teams with a winning record, and 2-5 in Volquez's L7 starts. Take the Mets. Thank you.

Take New York.

This is my Diamond play.

New York is in a position to finish off a sweep here, taking Games 1, 2, and 3, limiting Chicago to just 5 total runs. The duo of Bryant and Rizzo (4-21 between them in this series and overall 10-59 in the post-season) has been shut down by Mets pitching. LH, Steven Matz goes up against RH, Jason Hammel here. While the NY hurler is 4-1 on the season, Hammel is 10-7 on the campaign, with his team going 16-16 behind his starts. The Mets are up 3-0, outscoring the Cubs, 13-5 and have a dangerous lineup consisting of Daniel Murphy, who has hit the franchise record with 6 career post-season HR's. The Cubs are 0-5 their L5 vs. the NL East, 4-13 their L17 Playoff games, and 0-6 their L6 LCS Games. The Mets are 7-0 their L7 vs. the NL Central, 22-6 their L28 road games, and 4-1 their L5 LCS games. Take New York. Thank you.

Play Kansas City.

This is my Home Run play.

Kansas City owns a commanding, 3-1 lead in the ALCS, outscoring Toronto by 33-16, with 11 of the Blue Jay's total runs (and all 3 of their HR's) coming in their lone Game 3 victory. Edinson Volquez was superb in his Game 1 win, yielding only 2 hits over 6 scoreless IP. KC is 7-1 their L8 LCS games, 5-1 their L6 Playoff games, 7-2 their L9 road games, 11-5 their L16 vs. the AL East, and 21-9 in Volquez's L30 starts. Take the Royals. Thank you.

Take New York.

The New York Mets have taken a 2-0 lead in the NLCS. They have done it with stellar pitching and solid hitting. While the Chicago Cubs return home, a lack of leadership and post-season experience is taking its toll. The individual H-2-H pitching numbers favor Kyle Hendricks over Jacob deGrom however deGrom has pitched consistently strong all-season long and has the luxury of being up 2-0, and Daniel Murphy in the lineup. The Mets are 21-6 their L27 road games, 10-1 in deGrom's L11 road starts, and 4-1 their L5 Playoff games. The Cubs are 2-5 their L7 home Playoffs games, 0-4 their L4 vs. the NL East, and 0-5 their L5 LCS games. Take New York. Thank you.

Play Toronto.

Toronto came out of their funk in Game 3, exploding for 11 runs. I know how good Kansas City is, but the Royals are just 1-6 their L7 games played at the Blue Jays and with the experienced veteran, RA Dickey on the mound, it's going to be another long night for KC, who is also 1-4 their L5 road Playoff games. Toronto is 6-1 in Dickey's L7 home starts and 44-19 their L63 overall at home. Take the Blue Jays. Thank you.

Take New York.

This is my Diamond play.

Jake Arrieta showed signs of mortality, allowing 4 runs and 5 hits in his last turn. Having very little post-season experience changes things in the MLB. New York and their slew of veterans possess a lot more Playoffs experience than does Chicago. With Curtis Granderson coming out and notching 2 RBI's (7 for the post-season), he joins a very dangerous Mets batting order, who is all producing now. They are a better lineup in scoring, hitting, and even HR's. Not to mention, Jeurys Familia (3 saves in the post-season) in the bullpen. The Cubs are 4-11 their L15 Playoff games, 2-6 their L8 road Playoff games, and 0-4 their L4 LCS games. The Mets are 5-0 their L5 vs. the NL Central, 28-13 their L41 following a win, and 5-2 their L7 LCS games. Take New York. thank you.

Play Toronto.
