07-22-23	Pirates v. Angels -1.5		3-0	Loss	-100	25 h 37 m	Show
Taking the ANGELS, going RUN LINE, again. Did this last night - back at it here on Saturday. Pirates are hitting a robust .195 their last 9 games (entering Friday) This is a team on a 3-12 run as I mentioned yesterday. I was high on Detmers coming into the season, and it has not been as great as I thought. But Pittsburgh is exactly the team he needs to rebound off his last 2 starts (LAD/HOU). 4* RL Money LA ANGELS
07-22-23	Dodgers v. Rangers +103		16-3	Loss	-100	20 h 42 m	Show
Taking the RANGERS. Thought about Texas last night and didn't move on them. Will do it today. Not that I hate Bobby Miller. Youngster is decent. But in this spot, I don't think he should be listed as the favorite here. On numerous occasions on Mid Day Money I have talked about the Rangers home hitting. 286 2nd in the league with that and in home HRs hit. OBP + SLG both #2. Tops in the league in OPS. Texas with the better bullpen. Dane Dunning has been solid all year - in the pen or as a starter. In his 13 starts he has allowed more than 3 earned runs just twice. 6+ with 2 runs. Sign me up for the AL West leaders. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS
07-21-23	Pirates v. Angels -1.5		5-8	Win	115	25 h 52 m	Show
Taking the ANGELS, going RUN LINE. I have to say - shocked, shocked that the Angels have shown this much heart the last week. Sweep the Yankees off those 2 crazy Houston games. Well, here comes what should be some layup wins. Nothing is easy. But I have to think that they are not trading Ohtani. Figure he stays and hits 65 HRs - puts people in the stands. Whatever they offer will not be enough so the fans won't totally hate them. Back to the Pirates. Doing exactly what they should do. Lose games. 3-12 their last 15 games. Man that hot April seems like years ago. 4* RL Money LA ANGELS
07-21-23	Royals +176 v. Yankees		4-5	Loss	-100	22 h 28 m	Show
Taking the ROYALS. How the heck do you lay this kind of number with the Yankees? Is that a joke? Look - Clarke Schmidt has not been terrible. He has actually been pretty respectable. But this New York bunch can not be trusted. Now KC is not a good team. In fact, I would say they are worse than Oakland since they actually have their top hitters called up from the minors. I would also say that they come in a steal a game in a series. The got one from Detroit, Tampa, Cleveland. Took 2 from the Dodgers. Yanks are 2-9 their last 11 games and have lost 4 in a row. This kid Marsh can strike some cats out. First start vs Dodgers 4 innings 5Ks 4BBs - 2nd start @ Twins 5 innings 5Ks 3BBs - 3rd start vs Rays 6 innings 11Ks 1BB. The New York Yankees, at home, are hitting .227 on the year. 3rd worse in all of MLB (1 Oak 2 Mets). 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS
07-21-23	Orioles +145 v. Rays		0-3	Loss	-100	22 h 16 m	Show
Taking the ORIOLES. Had these guys last night, will come back again here on Friday. O's up 3-1 as I am doing this write up - if it continues, Tampa will now have dropped 5 in a row and 12 of their last 15. I like Eflin, but not only is this team not hitting that well the last few weeks, the pitching is struggling also. Eflin is off giving up 5 runs to the Royals. Normally he is 2-3 run pitcher through 6 innings. What I like to look at now, and the next month is pitcher innings. Eflin is now at the most he has thrown since 2019. 59 in Covid 2020 - 105 in 2021 - 75 last year - and 105 this season. Maybe the work load is catching up to him. Not a chance I think about laying a huge price with him going forward. Baltimore counters with Kyle Bradish, and he has been in a fantastic groove lately. A 1.87 ERA .88 WHIP his last 7 starts. Against a struggling lineup, we are in a nice spot getting this number. In his last 9 starts, he has given up more than 2 runs twice (3 both times) On the year he has giving up more than 3 runs just twice in 17 starts. 51Ks in 48 innings and 36 hits allowed the last 2 months. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES
07-20-23	Cardinals v. Cubs -124		7-2	Loss	-124	23 h 32 m	Show
Taking the CUBS. I might be biased because of my win total future here on Chicago, but I don't think these guys should start selling off parts. I think this is a solid bunch. That being said - Stroman has been super at home. Are you kidding me with a .86 WHIP and .167 BA Against at home. 10 starts - not some fluke 3 games or something. Guy deals here. Had a pair of poor outings before the All-Star break. Perhaps the bilister thing. Not worried here. Not vs last place STL who are shopping players. And especially when I see Steve Matz on the other side. What a joke. Honestly, if the Cubs can't club this guy and get a win, ya know what - trade away Cubbies, trade away. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS
07-20-23	Orioles +156 v. Rays		4-3	Win	156	21 h 13 m	Show
Taking the ORIOLES. Will gladly grab this price with underdog here. TB started 30-9, never got out to a huge lead (6.5 games) and now trail Baltimore. These guys just win. I like Glasnow more than Gibson. But how the heck is Tampa this big a favorite? They have 4 straight losses, 7 in their last 10 and are 3-11 their last 14. Thank you schedule makers for giving the Rays KC or this could be an epic losing streak. Orioles on a nice 9-2 run their last 11. Give me the dog here. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES
07-20-23	Padres -114 v. Blue Jays		0-4	Loss	-114	16 h 50 m	Show
Taking SAN DIEGO. Can't go against Snell. Guy has been nearly unhittable lately. A .66 ERA and .90 WHIP last 7 starts. No runs allowed in 7 of his last 9 starts - and when he allowed some runs, how about a grand total of 3 -- 3 runs on 6 hits. 22 Ks in those 13 innings of work in those 2 games. Speaking of Ks, 85 of those in 53 innings of work. Sorry Jays. Give me the Padres here. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES
07-19-23	Padres v. Blue Jays -111		2-0	Loss	-111	23 h 41 m	Show
Taking the BLUE JAYS. Well - took Toronto in Mid Day Money yesterday and that is not looking great. But, new day, different pitchers. Let's start with San Diego. Even if they won last night, this is still a team 5 games under .500 and 7 games under .500 on the road. Do I trust them as an even money dog? No. Do I trust them with a 36 year old pitcher with an ERA of 4.65 on the season, and 6.08 his last 7 starts? Heck No. The fact is in 8 of his games he has given up 3 or runs. 4 or more in 7 of those. At this stage of his career, the guy is a 5+ inning pitcher who will give up 3/4 runs. How about this quick note. For a guy who is considered an 'Ace'. He has 2 16 win seasons in his decade plus and 3 other seasons of 10 plus wins (13,10,10) Count me in the Padres should dump camp. Anyway - Give me Berrios at this price. Guy has solid numbers at home and solid numbers on the season. 4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS
07-19-23	Rays v. Rangers +105		1-5	Win	105	6 h 36 m	Show
4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS
07-19-23	Guardians -124 v. Pirates		5-7	Loss	-124	16 h 22 m	Show
Taking the GUARDIANS here. Had Cleveland in the Mid Day Money show, didn't have them on the sites. That is the way things have been going here after the All Star break. Will gladly take Civale at this price. Guy has been fantastic on the road - 1-1 record, but you know what I like to see. 198 BA Against, a 1.05 WHIP. Just 5 runs in 26.2 innings for a tidy 1.69 ERA. If the 8-0 leads holds up, the Pirates will fall for the 5th straight game and suffer their 10th loss in 12 games. Cleveland finding some offense to go with their solid pitching. Sign me up. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND GUARDIANS
07-18-23	Yankees -102 v. Angels		1-5	Loss	-102	24 h 47 m	Show
Taking the YANKEES. German not too shabby his last 3 starts. (Yes Perfect Game) But the other 2 10.1 innings 3 ERs 14 Ks. On the road, a .197 BA Against 1.07 WHIP. Yes, 4.61 ERA. That is some bad luck right there with that WHIP and BAA number. Angels for me are a fade away bunch. Trade vultures circling. Sandoval with 5.40 ERA at home, and unlike German, a .303 BA Against. Guy hitting you for an average over 300 - yeah. Not good. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK YANKEES
07-18-23	Dodgers v. Orioles -117		10-3	Loss	-117	21 h 26 m	Show
Taking the ORIOLES. How am we passing on Baltimore here. I get Wells on the hill who has given up 2 or less in 7 of his last 8 and 3 or less in 4 of 18 starts. Guy will have them in the game. Grove for LA is on the opposite of those numbers I just ran for Wells. In his 8 starts, he has given up 4 or more in half of those starts. He has given up 4 in 2 relief roles. He is 4 innings 4 runs - Pencil it in. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES
07-18-23	Brewers +178 v. Phillies		3-4	Loss	-100	21 h 10 m	Show
Taking the BREWERS. Yes - Philly playing pretty good ball right now. But let's not sleep on Milwaukee. They've run off 4 straight themselves. For me though, let's fade Nola. Last 9 starts. 5-1-4-0-4-6-4-4-5 runs allowed. I see 2 good starts. A game @ Tampa - and home vs the Braves. Milwaukee just came off 6 straight vs the Reds. Last few - low scoring. We do see 5-7-6-3-4-6-8-6-11-7 runs over the last 2 weeks. 1st place Brew Crew worth it at this price. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS
07-17-23	Yankees +112 v. Angels		3-4	Loss	-100	24 h 41 m	Show
Taking the YANKEES. I don't love Sevie, but this is a spot where the Angels are off another tough game vs hated rival Astros. I am not a huge New York backer, but at plus money, I will bite.. Also like the OVER here. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES
07-17-23	Yankees v. Angels OVER 9		3-4	Loss	-105	24 h 40 m	Show

4* RL Money MIAMI MARLINS
07-16-23	Padres v. Phillies -1.5		6-7	Loss	-100	17 h 3 m	Show
Taking the PHILLIES on the RUN LINE. Also -- Take PHILLIES NO AT BAT BOTTOM 9 +100.. If somehow the Padres show some life and put up a fight, at worse you get a split. Lugo has pitched a bit better than Wheeler of late. I think the break is just what Wheeler needed though. This Philly teams is on a little run 25-10 -- Padres are what the are. A middle sub .500 club that has trouble scoring at times. Snell will be in Houston or Texas after the deadline. This team is dead in the water. Phillies looking like the bunch we saw make a run last season. 4* RL Money PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
07-16-23	Guardians v. Rangers -125		5-6	Win	100	23 h 15 m	Show
Taking the RANGERS. Perez with the ugly splits, but much more favorable at home. Bibee having a nice season - that being said, a .282 BAA on the road. Not good news vs a Texas team that has been raking here all season long. Though about RL for a better payday. But lets just get some 2nd half wins under our belts first. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS -- Texas NO AT BAT Bottom 9 +110 can also be played
07-16-23	Diamondbacks v. Blue Jays UNDER 9.5		5-7	Loss	-120	22 h 20 m	Show
Going UNDER the total. This game for me has 5-2 feel written all over it. Kukuchi decent at home. Henry has not been that bad overall on the season. And honestly, the Jays offense has underperformed most of the season. Can they score 8-9-10 themselves. Sure. I like this lineup. But until they get that consistent flow at the plate, I'll grab the under here. On the year - Arizona 45-41 to the under - Jays 47-40. 4* Total Money UNDER Arizona/ Jays
07-16-23	Marlins v. Orioles -110		4-5	Win	100	14 h 4 m	Show
4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES
07-15-23	Nationals +176 v. Cardinals		6-9	Loss	-100	11 h 38 m	Show
Taking the NATIONALS. Washington can run out Steve Rodgers in an Expos uniform and I would still back them. I faded Matz vs the White Sox and lost. There is not a chance I think he has 2 decent back to back starts. Nats hitting lefties at a .279 clip and Matz can't get anyone out. 2 hits 9 Ks last game. Get outta here with that. I think we get either Gore or Gray here. Both guys rested. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS
07-14-23	Brewers -109 v. Reds		1-0	Win	100	25 h 41 m	Show
Taking the BREWERS. Last 3 times Burnes has faced Reds (twice in 2023) Milwaukee has come away with wins. 7-3 back on July 7 - 5-4 on June 2 and 10-2 back in September of last year. 2 starts this year have produced 12 innings 5 hits 5 runs 13 Ks - 8 walks! - That has been a reason I think for Burnes higher than normal ERA. He had 34 walks in 28 starts in 2021. 51 last year in 33. 39 already. Should we be concerned. I don't think so. He has responded with a .198 BA Against on the road and a 1.05 WHIP/ But playing an Over here isn't something I would shy away from especially with Ashcraft on the hill for Cincinnati. Guy has been brutal at home. (On the entire season also.) A .297 BA Against leads to an ERA of 7.95 in 9 starts! 1.65 WHIP. 19 walks 52 hits in 43 innings and 10 HRs. He gave up 10 to the Brewers back on June 3 in 4 innings. He is off a pair of decent starts vs the Padres and Nats giving up 2 runs in 12.2 innings of work. Not enough for me to a a buyer of him as a home dog though. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS
07-14-23	Diamondbacks +165 v. Blue Jays		2-7	Loss	-100	17 h 42 m	Show
Taking ARIZONA. The overall numbers of Ryne Nelson aren't all that great. But the on the road, guy has been great. 9 starts, a .214 BA Against 1.03 WHIP. Keeps you in the ball game. Not sure who is going to get the call for the Jays. Gallen on the hill for Diamondbacks Saturday. I am assuming Gausman - and, as good as a season he is having (leads AL in Ks) the team is 10-9 in his starts. At this price, will look to Arizona. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
07-11-23	National League -101 v. American League		3-2	Win	100	34 h 8 m	Show
Not much going on this week with the All Star Break --- HR Derby -- Garcia 6/1 -- Betts 10/1 -- Exact Outcome -- Alonso Over Garcia 9/1 --- Betts Over Roberts 90/1 --- National League +110 --- (These lines may have moved from when I posted them in Mid Day Money on Saturday)
07-09-23	Cardinals v. White Sox -1.5		4-3	Loss	-100	18 h 31 m	Show
Taking the WHITE SOX. If Chicago can not put up runs on Steven Matz, then this roster should be completely overhauled in the next two weeks. Wheeled this cat back out of the bullpen because the Cards pitching staff is so bad. Giolito has been dealing the last month + and has been great at home. .197 BAA .92 WHIP. Sox - I'm telling you - this should be a nice 6-1 game. 4* RL Money CHICAGO WHITE SOX
07-09-23	Braves +102 v. Rays		4-10	Loss	-100	17 h 5 m	Show
4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES
07-09-23	Royals v. Guardians -1.5		4-1	Loss	-122	16 h 51 m	Show
Taking CLEVELAND, going RUN LINE. Royals already on break with 6 straight losses. Guardians with 3 straight wins. Bieber solid stats at home. KC rolls out Ryan Yarbrough. Guy is having a bad season. Had a career rookie season in 2018 going 16-6 with Tampa. Hasn't sniffed that sort of success ever again. Hasn't pitched since May 7. We have see more often than not, the guy making a first start out of a minor stint - not a good outing. Cleveland looking to head into the break on a high note with 1st Place in the Central locked down. 4* RL Money CLEVELAND GUARDIANS
07-08-23	Angels +155 v. Dodgers		5-10	Loss	-100	10 h 7 m	Show
4* Money Maker LA ANGELS
07-08-23	Braves -1.5 v. Rays		6-1	Win	110	22 h 56 m	Show
Taking the BRAVES, going RUN LINE. Only way to go here. I really don't want to lay -145, so I will look for a little Plus Money on the RL. Strider is solid. And honestly - Atlanta is flat our rolling right now. What is this a 26-4 run? 20-2? Tampa is reeling - now having dropped 6 in a row. Taj Bradley is a youngster I like. But the kid has been hit hard lately. He ended June with a 6.26 ERA in 5 starts and promptly opened July allowing 5 runs on 9 hits in 3.1 inning. At home, A 5.70 ERA in 7 starts. He just can't get the clutch outs when he needs them. 25 hits in 26 innings. The cluster hits are killing him. And Atlanta can do that to you, in multiple innings. Things not going right for Tampa. Everything clicking for the Braves right now. 4* RL Money ATLANTA BRAVES

07-07-23	Braves +109 v. Rays		2-1	Win	109	25 h 13 m	Show
Taking the BRAVES. Not sure how the Thursday Tampa game plays out as I write this up. But, a chance they are on a 5 game losing streak. Zero shot of me taking a team on a five game slide favored over a team that is on a monster 25-4, 19-2 run. Like I say on Mid Day Money - hope in one hand, poop in the other, see what fills up first. Hoping the Rays snap out of a slide. Nope. Atlanta is what Tampa was to start the season - an absolute beast right now. Plus money. Sign me up. 4* Money Maker ATLATNA BRAVES

4* RL Money CLEVELAND GUARDIANS
07-06-23	Cardinals v. Marlins -128		3-0	Loss	-128	26 h 29 m	Show
Taking MIAMI. Yeah. Perez got pasted by the Braves. But last place STL is not Atlanta by any stretch of the imagination. This is a last place club sputtering to the trade deadline looking to unload players. Our guy Eury ran into an absolute buzz saw that ripped him for 2 HRs, 7 hits and 6 Earned in a Third of an inning. 1 out! That is it. I expect a major bounce back here. And by here, I mean at home. Nearly untouchable. 3 runs in 26.2 innings of work. Sparkling .86 WHIP and .186 BAA. Jack Flaherty is off a nice win over the Yanks. But his previous two games, 10.2 inning 20 Hits 12 Earned. 10 hits and 6 Earned in both starts vs the Nats and Giants. At first glace you would think the price is low when you look at the Perez numbers, but we also have Flaherty who, if you take out these 2 and a game vs the Angels (10 Earned in 2.1 innings) the guy has give up 22 runs in 13 starts. That being said, Cardinals in a funk the entire season as they sit in last place. Give me the Marlins. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking MIAMI. Took these guys last night, will come back on their rookie star. This kid has been dealing. What is there to say - if the Reds didn't have their own star, this rookie would be getting a lot more love. At this price, have to take a good Marlins club. Charlie Morton is a steady vet, but he has give up at least 3 runs in 4 of his last 5 starts. Miami can get to him. Eury gave up 3 in 1 start and then 4 in his other 8! 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the RANGERS. I like Hunter Brown a lot - but Eovaldi has been an absolute beast this season. A 1.00 WHIP on the year, .98 here at home with a .213 BA Against. I know Houston just trucked the Cards, but this staff is better. That is why STL is sitting in last place. And before that offensive explosion, the Astros hadn't been exactly raking the ball this season. I don't want to say bad things about Hunter. I have a ROY Ticket on him! He hasn't been brutal home or away. Kid is exactly as advertised. He is good. But I think the Rangers bat are a tad better. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

Taking the BLUE JAYS, going RUN LINE. Kikuchi wrapped up a nice June with a 2.28 ERA .87 WHIP and .180 BA Against. He gets a struggling Red Sox bunch this afternoon. Boston hitting 6th in the league worse on the road at a .228 clip. Jays looking to make a move and a slumping Red Sox offense is here to a rescue a season on the brink. Kutter Crawford has better away splits from Fenway, but I am not buying. He was in the bullpen for a reason. But you lose Sale, Kluber, Houck - Pivetta is terrible. 10 starters used by Boston this year tells you all you need to know about their season. 1-8 run last 9 heading into Friday. Give me the home team. 4* RL Money TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Taking the YANKEES. As much as I bash this bunch - you have the edge on the mound today. STL is in last place. They are in a free fall of a season. NY has somehow managed to win and be "good" despite a terrible lineup and missing most of the rotation for long stretches. Your ace has been Cy Young worthy. Get it done vs a bad team. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES

Taking the REDS. I don't care who is pitching for San Diego, they have no right being a favorite of this price over anyone. Ok, maybe Oakland or KC. Not a team that has won 14 of 16 heading into Friday. Not a team that is tied for 1st Place. If you want to say Williamson is bad. Fine. Not going to put a fight there. Cincy can score. Padres have shown a problem hitting and scoring runs. Slowly becoming a Cincy is for real believer. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS

Taking the ORIOLES. Not going to try to overthink this one, or this series. Baltimore the better team. 3rd most Home Wins in all of MLB. Twins Under . 500 on the season. Under .500 on the road. They are hitting .218 away from home which is better than only the lowly Tigers. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking the RANGERS, going RUN LINE. I think this is a big game, and big series for Texas. They pushed Gray back for this start. Seager sits for a little rest, and he comes big bad in state Bad Boy Houston Astros. No love lost here. Blanco has been decent in his 4 starts, but nothing special. 23 innings 12 runs 7 HRs. 2 HRs allowed in each of the last 3 starts. That can be dangerous vs the Rangers at home who are a league best hitting .288 at home and 2nd in HRs at home with 71. Jon Gray with a .88 WHIP his last 7 starts and has been in a groove the entire season (2.89 ERA 1.05 WHIP) 4* RL Money TEXAS RANGERS

Taking the BLUE JAYS. One - we have Berrios throwing like a champ right now. His last 10 starts - 61 innings 18 runs. Pretty efficient. At home, 6 starts a 1.07 WHIP and 2.48 ERA. More than acceptable vs a struggle Red Sox offense hitting .228 away from Fenway. Blue Jays one of the better hitting lineups vs lefties, and the Big Maple, James Paxton doesn't scare me. 4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS
06-30-23	Brewers v. Pirates +125		7-8	Win	125	23 h 52 m	Show
Taking the PIRATES. Off course they win when I don't bet them. 4 in a row for this streaking bunch. Milwaukee coming off the Mets - and let's be honest, this isn't a very good ballclub. The Brewers are the 2nd worse hitting club in all of MLB (Oakland #1) with their .226 clip. Barely better on the road at .229 - Look, Bido is nothing fancy. He will go 5, strike out 6, give up 6 hits and 2 runs. Pittsburgh has been feisty as heck though. Down 4-0, they could have mailed it. Nothing wrong winning 2 of 3 from San Diego. They didn't quit and pulled it out late. I don't see that kind of heart in the Brewers. Milwaukee 1-8 in Peralta's last 9 road starts, and they are favored tonight? 5.94 road ERA and a .285 BA Against, 1.62 WHIP. Give me the home dogs on a win streak please. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH PIRATES

Taking the NATS. Pretty sure we get Gray here. He has been pretty good on the road posting a 2.48 ERA in 10 starts a decent .233 BA Against. Washington one of the better hitting teams vs lefties at a .281 clip. We get the added bonus of a day off. Philly playing the Cubbies. We either get them off a loss, or full of themselves winning 4 in a row. There is no RL posted as I write this. The Nationals are 29-11 in Run Lines on the Road if that is something you are more comfortable with. I am going for the bigger payday on the ML. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS
06-29-23	Marlins v. Red Sox -115		2-0	Loss	-115	22 h 24 m	Show
Taking BOSTON. Have to back Bello at this price. The youngster has really pitched well this season. You take out his first 2 starts - 7.1 innings 8 ERs -- and this kid has gone 59 innings with 16 ERs and the 3.27 ERA drops to 2.44. June his is posting a .98 WHIP and .194 BAA. For Miami, as much as I like Luzardo going back to his Oakland days, the guy is bad on the road. Opposing hitters raking him for a .309 BA and those hits are producing runs, 5.45 ERA. The Red Sox as #1 in team BA at home at .290. I thought about RL +160 here also. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX
06-29-23	Padres v. Pirates UNDER 8.5		4-5	Loss	-120	18 h 43 m	Show
Taking the UNDER. Coming back again here looking for a low scoring affair. Pirates struggling to find offense going under in 7 of their last (heading into Wednesday). Musgrove has been dealing the last month posting a 2.10 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. In his last 6 starts he has given up 8 runs in 36 innings of work. We have talked about the lack of runs for the Padres on the season (48-29 to the Under). Luis Ortiz is coming off a gem - 8 innings of 1 run ball at Miami. Overall he is more of a 5 inning kinda guy. Probably gives up a 4 spot tonight. Even if the Padres get to 6 or 7, I still feel safe based on the way Pitt has been hitting lately. 4* Total Money UNDER Padres/ Pirates

Going OVER the total. Davies has been brutal at home - 5 starts, a 9.90 ERA - 360 BA Against! 32 hits in 20 innings 7 walks - that's a 2.15 WHIP! There will be runs vs the #3 hitting road team in MLB. Eflin overall this year looks like a nice season - it would be a great year if he could get it together away from the Trop. The road has been unkind. In 6 road starts, a 1-3 record and the team is 3-3 overall. He is good for allowing a 4 spot tonight vs a tough Arizona lineup. Won't be shocked if we get this by the 4th or 5th inning tonight. 4* Total Money OVER Tampa/ Arizona

06-28-23	Padres v. Pirates UNDER 8		1-7	Push	0	22 h 29 m	Show
Going UNDER the total here. As I said yesterday, Padres 48-28 to the Under on the year. Helps when your starter is dealing - Snell a .93 WHIP 1.80 ERA his last 7 starts - and that includes 6 runs allowed to Boston. Take that out and he has allowed just 2 runs in 36 innings of work and just 17 hits, 56 Ks. His ERA was 5.30 entering May, it is now 3.22. Pirates can't hit that much. Keller has come back to Earth after a great start. 21 runs in 36 innings. Still striking out guys (36) 37 hits. Just some bad luck and the regression was expected. For me - to many runs here. Can't see San Diego getting a 7 spot here and that is what I think they will need because I don't see the Pirates doing much vs Snell. 4* Total Money UNDER Padres/ Pirates

Taking the BREWERS. David Peterson as a favorite - wow. Look. I totally understand that Milwaukee can't hit a lefty (2nd worse .217), but this cat throws batting practice. This is his first start since May 15th. Well, those last 4 starts - 24 innings 35 hits 27 runs! Mets are no great shakes at the dish. They face Teheran who has been nothing short of great since joining the rotation - .192 BAA .88 WHIP 1.53 ERA. Getting plus money with a guy who has given up 6 Earned Runs in 6 starts. Absolutely. 4* Money Maker MILWUKEE BREWERS

Taking the PIRATES. How the heck is San Diego getting this kind of respect? I mean - I get it, Pirates in a free fall since their hot start. But have the Padres really done enough to be this big a road favorite? They are under .500 on the season and on the road. Darvish has a road ERA of 6.16 in 7 starts. I will also be on the UNDER in this game as well San Diego has trouble hitting on the road (4th worse all MLB .223) and slightly better vs lefties (.253) Pirates find themselves slumping a bit offensively, but Darvish will give up enough for us to get the win here. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH PIRATES
