Taking the PHILLIES in Game 2 and going RL. I know it is tough to sweep a double dip. And we do have them in Game 1. But again. This Mets team is a hot mess. And if by some chance the Phils go down in Game 1, then you can be sure that their ace dominates in Game 2. 4* RL Money PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Taking the PHILLIES. Mets are team I will be avoiding for a bit. They just have so much going on right now. Philly on the hand. A rising tide. Young and talented. Looking to make a big splash with a trade. At this price, we will take the low hanging fruit and hop on the road team. Eflin with a 1.91 ERA his last 6 starts just dealing right now. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Taking SEATTLE here. Not liking what I have seen of Barria lately. Yeah. In 11 starts this year the 3.40 ERA looks pretty good for the rookie. But he is still only going 5 innings a game. This Seattle team is just winning games. A show of hands who had these guys in 2nd place in the West with the 4 best record in all of MLB? Mariners 6-2 in Gonzales' last 8 starts and on a 20-6 run at home. LAA 4-12 their last 16 on the road.  4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the TIGERS. Will grab the RL looking for the big return for a piece also. Boyd has solid numbers at home this season. A 2.61 ERA in 7 starts with a .99 WHIP and .184 BA Against. How many years has it been since Gallardo has been a reliable starting pitcher? Not that Tigers are a great team - Don't get giddy about them being in 2nd place in the Central. They 17.5 games back of the Indians at 38-50. Texas, at 38-49 are in last and 17 back of the Astros. At this price, we are playing the better pitcher and looking to score a little extra with the RL. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS

Taking the PHILLIES. Not backing off these guys after dropping the first 2 games in the series. Still think Philly is a decent team. Tough to sweep on the road. Eflin has been sharp lately. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking the BRAVES today. Thought about going RL for +150. But we need to get some winners going on the site. Can't seem to gain any footing on the bases. Have not had a good dog run the first 3 months of the year. That being said, back to the grind. We play our numbers and historically have shown a profit. So let's back Newcomb early. Kid has been great all year. Home, away - it doesn't matter. We are barely above .200 BA Against a 1.15 WHIP. Castillo is a guy who hurt the bankroll early. Going 5-8 with a 5.70 ERA will do that. We can pencil in a 3 spot in 5 innings for him. His road splits are rough. 9 starts, 6.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and opposing hitter slapping a .280 clip. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

Taking the INDIANS, going RL. Won't lay the huge number with Kluber. But for me, will still fade C-Mart. He doesn't look right following the DL stint. With an ERA over 8, have to side the road team tonight. Kluber with a .85 road WHIP and .199 BA against away from home. 4* RL Money CLEVELAND INDIANS

Taking the PHILLIES again. Arrieta had a great first 10 starts, but has been shaky at best this month. Still with good home splits. Sevie has been great. Can't knock the guy a bit. But like last night, will back Philly again. This isn't a bad team. And at this price, I have to pull the trigger. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the MARLINS here. Will take a shot on the small home puppies. How can I now? Shelby Miller hasn't been in more than a year off of TJ surgery. He wasn't all that sharp before getting injured. Not sold a .77 in 2 Single A starts. Let's look at that 4.77 ERA in 4 Triple A starts. 20 hits in 19.1 innings. He did strikeout 28 hitters in those starts. But the numbers are average at best. Don't think they will let him go deep in his first start back. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS 

Taking TAMPA. I like Snell. But, we have had mixed results backing the lefty. I see this game though and I think of every novice bettor saying, are you kidding me. Nats as a dog. They have Harper! Stras and Mad Max! And personally, I think GG is having a nice season. That being said, Rays playing some good ball right now. Snell with a .96 ERA at home in 6 starts .94 WHIP. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS

Taking the PHILLIES. Yanks down The Sanchize with their star catcher out. Now they lose a DH. Not really happy backing Philly off the Nats series. But this is still a good team. And a nice price on a home dog. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the ORIOLES. Man. These guys are brutal. But this line screams to grab Seattle. They are begging you to take Felix. But I think, and I said this several times while fading him last year, he is picking up steam on that down-hill ride. The team as a whole is struggling. Granted, Baltimore is not the Yanks or Sox. But I can't see laying with any team who is struggling. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking the PADRES. Good value on Ross for us here. Kid has been solid for San Diego. Not sure where MadBum is right now. Slowly coming back from the DL. Off his first 100 pitch start of the year. But he did issue 4 walks in 6 innings. Can't overlook the 3 HRs in last 11 innings either. Ross with a solid .201 BA Against on the road and a nice 1.09 WHIP. Ross is 1-0 in 2 starts vs SF this season allowing 2 runs, 1 earned in 12 innings - 14K's 11 hits. I'll take a shot with the dog. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the BREWERS here. Only went RL with Suter. Paid off yesterday on the Reds. But I will stick to the ML. I like CMart - But the guy has not been sharp off the DL. 18 walks in those 3 games. Clearly struggling right now. I like the Milwaukee pen if things are close late. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

Taking the REDS, and going RUN LINE. For me -130, it doesn't really matter. I am looking to grind out some bankroll so will probably go half/ half. Having a rough go on the bases. Only other game I liked was the Mets. So I like this kid Mahle. Has looked good his last 3 starts, so maybe he is finding his groove at the tender age of 23. The youngster hasn't allowed a HR in 4 starts after allowing 13 in 10 games. I do like Fulmer. Guy has been sharp his last 2 starts, going 7 in each, giving up just a run a game. But that being said, still on Cincy early. Tigers 1-6 last 7 in inter-league. Detroit 2-8 in Fulmer's last 10 road starts. 4* RL Money CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the PIRATES. So lost with the Brewers here yesterday, but will flip sides today. Have to back Tailon over Peralta. Tailon with a 2.73 ERA his last 3 starts, allowing 8 runs in 26 innings. Both offenses silent yesterday in that 1-0 game. Milwaukee with just 2 hits. Now they send out a rookie making his 3rd career start. 18 Ks in 9.2 innings. Looks solid. But 8 walks, including 6 in his last start. Obviously, the kid has talent. 1 hit in 5.2 innings 13 Ks in his debut. But last game, 4 innings 3 hits 1 HR 6 Walks 5Ks. So still is a bit erratic. Will grab the home team tonight as they have 4 of the last 5 in the series, and 6 of the last 8 in Pittsburgh.  4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES 

Taking SEATTLE here. One, the Yanks just had a weird day yesterday. Finished a suspended game, then won a regular game. Mariners with the day off. Two - Do people realize that Seattle is a pretty good team this year? 46-22, 2 games back of the Astros who have reeled off 12 in a row. Gonzalez has  1.41 ERA his last 6 starts. Three, German. I get the Yankees offense is a beast. But this guy is carrying a 5+ ERA. He gave up runs in 5 trips out of the pen, and has done so in his 7 starts. After a great 1st start - 6 innings 9Ks  and no hits, he hasn't approached that. 6-6-4-4-3-3. Does he give up 2-2 his next 2 starts? 6 innings, 3 runs is what he will probably do tonight. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the BREWERS. Well. We are now almost at July. And I can't lie. My MLB has not been up to the job at hand. The divide between good and bad teams seems huge - I just cannot catch a dog run. And when I play on my pitcher numbers, we end up getting beat by a bullpen. Wish these sites had 1st five, then we would be cooking with gas. That being said, I expect to be .500 or better by seasons end. New week. Let's start it off right.

So taking Chacin - guy has been sharp for the Brewers. Milwaukee 12-3 when he is on the hill amd have cashed 6 straight with him starting. Road ERA not as good as home (4.08 - 2.21) but his WHIP and BA Against are nearly the same. Williams has taken a turn for the worse allowing 20 runs in his last 21 innings. There is an ERA approaching 10 his last 3 starts. He has allowed 4 runs in 6 of his last 7 starts. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

Taking the PHILLIES. So, it is tough to go against Mikolas. What a great break-out year for the guy. But, his road splits show him to be vulnerable. Plus, we have STL off the Sunday night game. Pivetta has been bad his last 3 starts after a great run his first 11. But, we come back to his home numbers. Splits are big for me and I think the edge lies with the home team today. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLES

4* Money Maker MIAMMI MARLINS

Taking KC, again. Keuchel hasn't been very sharp overall this season. Not a chance I try him - then you add in on the road and laying this kind of number. Duffy has been getting better after a bad start. 1-1-0 runs allowed in 3 of his last 4 starts. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS

Taking KC. Yeah. Going big dog. Look. Astros the better team. That is not a question. My thought is how can you back Morton in this spot? Laying this number? Last game he hit 4 batters and issued 6 walks in 3+ innings. That was on the heels of getting bombed for 6 earned in Boston and not getting out of the 6th inning. Junis off his worse start of the year. He seems to implode every 7 starts or so. But he rebounds nicely. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS 

4* RL Money WHITE SOX

Taking the PADRES. Going to fade McCarthy in this spot. Off extra rest, an ERA near 8 (7 starts). An ERA over 5 on the year. 5.46 in 6 home starts including a .325 BA against. Richard with a 2.57 ERA his last 3 starts and has been sharp giving up more than 3 runs just once in his last 7 starts. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the MARLINS. Can't think about playing on the O's as any kind of favorite. This team is falling apart at the seems. Wonder how long Buck has left in the dugout. That being said, Urena not doing it with a 1-8 record. But as I dig into all the numbers, I think he is a Top 25 NL Pitcher. I have Gausman near 50 in the AL. Urena will give us 6. The question for us is can the Marlins push acros 3-4 runs. And why couldn't they? Orioles, a league worse 19 wins. The joke was that Miami is a team of, 'who is that guy'. I'll grab them at this price. 4* Miami Marlins 

4* Money Maker TB RAYS

4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

Taking the PHILLIES. Will lay it with the home faves tonight. One. Rockies struggling. 5 straight losses and 9 in last 11 games. Pivetta sharp at home. 2.20 ERA in 7 games with a .98 WHIP in 41 innings including 50Ks. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

4* Total Money UNDER Cubs/ Brewers

Taking the GIANTS. One of those lines that scares me bit. Not as much as me backing off Sox RL over the O's that we ended up losing as Baltimore couldn't push across a run. But this Giants team has surprised me out of the gate. I had them pegged for a bad start. They survived Cueto and MadBum being out and lo and behold, here they are in the thick of the NL West race. Miami is brutal. I have had so so success backing them. But not in this spot. Richards has been bad. 29 hits in 28.2 innings. More worrisome is the 14 walks. He had nice AAA numbers - but other than the K's, nothing else has worked out in his 6 starts. He will go 5 and give up 3 tonight. Stratton has some solid road splits. 1.09 WHIP .202 BA against in 35 innings (6 starts). 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS

Taking the NATS. Have to grab Washington at this price. How often are we getting 1st place teams as a sizable dog? Maybe they are begging us to grab the road team - I'll bite. Roark has been solid all season. 3-6 record is a bit misleading. His overall pitching is better than his record. I have been anti-CC for almost 3 years now. What are getting tonight from CC? 7 innings? 4? Guy is a crap shoot every time he comes out. Nats 11-3 last 14 on the road. Also thought about the under, but will just grab the doggies. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking the ORIOLES tonight. I'll be honest here - thought about Sox RL for +150. It's June. After 2 months, you know I love my dogs and RLs. Always looking for value. But this is one of those games that looks 'too easy' - Bundy, if we take out a putrid 3 game stretch, has pitched well this year. 19 earned in 9 innings will balloon your ERA. In his other 10 starts, I see a guy who gives us about 7 innings tonight. He has lost twice at Boston this year. 6-3, 6-1 giving up 5 earned in those games. Wright is making his 2nd start of the year. Knuckle-baller coming out of the pen. He has started in previous year. And with the rubber arm, it isn't like he will be on a pitch count. I see all the talk and money coming on the Red Sox. I'm going the other way. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking the WARRIORS, again. Nothing to say. Have had them all series. Just not enough talent around LeBron to make things work. Does he join the Rockets? Has a meeting with the Celtics? Does he take a huge pay-cut to try to win a title in the weak east? Lakers with Paul George? That is the really the only questions to be answered. 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

Taking the ROYALS. So - Yeah. 4 straight losses and backing Hammel and his 5+ ERA. But let's look big picture. KC has gone 7-2-1 to the UNDER in his last 10 starts. That just isn't bad Royals hitting. Hammel has allowed 3 earned or less in 7 of those starts. Indians and Boston tagged him pretty good. His last start, 6 innings 3 earned in 5-4 ND win over this same A's. Will fade Blackburn making his first start of the season. 4* KC ROYALS

Taking the CAPS - Have cashed with Washington on the PL the last 2 games and 3 straight overall on the Capitals. Nothing to else to say from what I have said since Game 1- 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

Taking the REDS. Anderson with an ERA over 5. Mahle has gone under in 5 of his last 6 at home. He will keep things close. Not that I make a habit of backing teams on 4 game losing streaks. But I see all angles pointing to Cincy this afternoon. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the WARRIORS. On them again. This line does look a tad low to me. But I will grab the low hanging fruit and hope it tastes well. Thought about Cavs ML in this spot. But I  just can't pull the trigger. As great as LeBron is, the guy is facing what? 2 future HOFers. And 4,5 all stars? Forget about the JR thing at the end of the game. Now it comes out about the remaining time out. Poor coaching. This guy had Blatt fired. Lue should be next. He will be after a season of LeBron-less Cavs basketball next year. Like I said in the first 2 games. Where is the other offense coming from? Are we getting Celtic series home games from the role players? Maybe. But we are laying 4.5 not 14.5 - 4* Money Maker GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS 

Taking the PHILLIES. Will grab Nola at this price. One, Cubs really haven't been the same team since winning the World Series. They think they can just turn things on. This Philly bunch is a scrappy, talented team. They are the Cubs of past. A team that knows it can be good, it just has to get there. Back to Nola. Kid is a beast. Nice road splits for us. A .90 WHIP .190 BA Against away from home. As much as we have made money over the last couple years backing Quintana, I can't trust him here. 2-2 with a 6.66 ERA at Wrigley this year (6 starts). Last year in 8 starts he had a 4.76 ERA (5-0). Looks like he still is trying to figure things out at home. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the BREWERS. Will grab Milwaukee at this price. Thought about maybe playing these guys yesterday. Today though, we are on board. Brew-Crew sitting atop NL Central 37-24 and 19-13 on the road. Indians, 31-28. Carrasco. As much as like the guy, can't overlook his home split of 5.59 ERA in 5 starts. He has given up 5 runs in at least 5 of his 12 starts, and in 3 of his 5 home starts. Chase Anderson hasn't been anything special on the year. But, we get him on the road and getting this number, well, count us in. 5 starts, 2.67 ERA with a .99 WHIP and .184 BA Against. Brewers a tough group. With their first back to back losses since the end of April, these guys seem to find ways to win games. I'll grab them this afternoon. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

Taking the DODGERS. Stripling has been sharp out of the pen in his 6 starts. After a bad start, LAD has reeled of wins in 7 of their last 10 and 13 of 17. Pirates, after a good start are 2-7 their last 9. Add in LA has won 6 of the last 7 in the series. I'm on the short road fave. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS 

Taking the PADRES. Dog to fave spot here. Braves off big series over Nats winning 3 of 4. Maybe a let down as they head out west. Like our Giants play, will grab the home team in this spot. 4* Money Maker SD PADRES
