Taking the REDS. Will fade Carrasco here. 3 starts in the minor in his injury rehab. 6.2 innings 6 hits 5 ERs 3 walks, 9 strikeouts - and of those 6 hits, 3 HRs. Call me crazy, I have been called much worse. But right off the bat I can't see him going more than 4-5 innings. Then we get to a Mets bullpen, that honestly, isn't all that high on my list of things I want to help me win. Add in an offense, and team for that matter, that has stayed put and not make any deals to help itself. Reds at least addressed their woeful bullpen and are trying to make a playoff push. For the Reds, Sonny Gray has actually pitched decent on the road this year. 5 starts, a 3.33 ERA. I'll grab the small dog here. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the YANKEES. A total no-show yesterday getting blitzed by Tampa. Their ace gets hammered. Gallo should be in the lineup. Who knows, Rizzo? For me though, this is a team off a terrible loss. I think they bounce back. Mainly my thinking for that is the trades. If the GM stayed put, these guys would me mailing it in from South Beach. But alas, they made some deals, here comes some offensive help. Taillon not a great year by any stretch of the word. Yet- He has come on strong. A 2.59 ERA his last 8 starts. A  bad road split with a 6 +ERA. Again though, July has been very good to James. 3 road starts, 20 innings 11 hits 4 Earned Runs 17 Ks  6 walks. Time for the Yanks to make their move. They made the trades. Now get it done on the field. Against a team that is in last place, no is the time. 4* RL Money NEW YORK YANKEES

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the BREWERS. These guys going for it with the addition of Escobar. A little pop for the lineup. But this is about Peralta. Guy has been dominate all year. 140 Ks in 102 innings of work. ERA, WHIP, BAA - all solid. Will also be on the UNDER in this game. 4* RL Money MILWAUKEE BREWERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Brewers/Pirates 

4* Total Money UNDER White Sox/ Royals 

4* Total Money UNDER Yankees/ Rays

4* Total Money OVER Rockies/ Angels

4* Total Money UNDER Sox/Royals 

4* RL Money CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

Taking the REDS. A nice F5 win at +160 on Cincy yesterday on the Mid Day Money show. Today, more of the same. Cubs in seller mode. Not sure if Davies even makes this start. Much like Pitt trading Anderson before his start yesterday. Too much hanging over a bad Cubs team. Cincy still showing fight. Short number. Mahle 2.26 ERA on the road in 11 starts with a .189 BA Again and 1.06 WHIP. Bullpen always an issue for Reds, but Chicago pen not much better. 4* Money Maker CINCINATTI REDS

Taking the TWINS, going RUN LINE. Tough loss with the Tigers as they rally all the way back and end up losing. It is what it is. Anderson his last two starts, 3.1 and 3.2 innings. Kenta better after a bad start. Minny not showing any quit even with deals hovering over them and sitting in last place. 4* RL Money MINNESOTA TWINS

Going OVER the total. Cease with a 6.27 road ERA and an ERA of 5.75 his last 7 starts. We had KC last night and want to again come back with them. Keller though is really bad. 5.84 ERA on the year, 5.98 last 7 - his BAA on the year is .305 and a 1.72 WHIP overall. Just not good. Oh. 7.19 ERA at home in 9 starts. 4* Total Money OVER Sox/Royals 

Taking the RAYS, going RUN LINE. Tampa has owned this series vs the Yanks lately. The -150 is a high one for, top of range for me if you want to go down that road. 4* RL Money TAMPA BAY RAYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Yanks/Rays 

Taking the PHILLIES. Nats just not playing well. Now the Mad Max trade talk heating up. Will grab the Phils here, but also take the over because both bullpens can allow 10 runs in 2 innings of work. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

4* Total Money OVER Nats/Phillies 

Taking the ROYALS. Are you kidding me with this line? I put this out on the Free Pick Video, and used it in Mid Day Money. How the heck are the Sox, who crush lefties, I think 18-8 vs them this year alone, this short a favorite today? They are begging you to take Chicago. 10-1 last 11 here in KC. And barely a favorite. I'll grab the home dog on a 4 game win streak. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY ROYALS

Taking the TIGERS. Here we go. Another ugly dog like our Kansas City bet. Detroit in off of getting swept by KC. We will grab them at this price. And for me, who the heck is Minnesota to be favored like this? They are sitting in last place. They themselves come in off 2 straight home losses. They look lost. Still a terrible bullpen. Trade deadline hanging over the heads of several players. I'll take a shot here with a team like the Tigers who even when losing, are a team that isn't mailing in the season. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

Taking the RED SOX, going RUN LINE. I know Boston is off a big win yesterday over the Yankees. I just think that carries over here. Pivetta will probably give up a couple runs, but I think the Sox hit Hatch. 4* RL Money BOSTON RED SOX 

Taking SEATTLE. Again, another team looking for a sweep. Plus money home dog. 4*  SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the PIRATES. Going to be a lot of ugly today. Sweep teams and Doggies. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES

Taking the ROYALS. Going to be a lot of ugly today. Sweep teams and Doggies. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY ROYALS

4* RL Money HOUSTON ASTROS

Taking the ORIOLES. Going to be a lot of ugly today. Sweep teams and Doggies. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES 

4* Total Money UNDER Oakland/ Mariners 

Taking the GIANTS, going RUN LINE. Gausman should easily shut down the Pirates tonight. Sporting a .67 WHIP and .133 BA Against shows me all I need to see heading into this matchup. San Fran should pounce on Wil Crowe. I will be shocked if SF doesn't have a 6 spot up by the 4th inning. 4* RL Money SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS 

Taking the METS. So this is really about playing on Walker. What a bone head play that cost him 6 runs last time out vs the Pirates. Even with those 6 runs in a third of an inning, the guy is still posting a solid 2.99 ERA on the year. At home, nearly lights out. 1.75 ERA in 8 starts with a .95 WHIP and .178 BA Against. Now Ryu has been solid. Jays a good team. I just feel for me, this is statement game for Walker. He knows he messed up. He wants to redeem himself. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK METS

4* RL Money OAKLAND A's . For me, this is me just fading Kikuchi. I don't know if he is injured or what. Was on the Covid list. 12 runs 17 hits in 10 innings last 2 starts. 4* RL Money OAKLAND A's 

Taking the ANGELS. Now - I know Cobb has some bad road numbers 6.37 in 7 starts, home much better 2.30 ERA in 7 starts. His last 3 games haven't been terrible though. 19.2 innings 13 hits 17 Ks 4 runs, 2 earned for a tidy .92 ERA .188 BA Against and 1.07 WHIP. If you watch the Mid Day Money show, you know my feelings on JA Happ. Add in the sulking and weight of a loss season for Minny, it will be a nice fade against this weekend. Nelson Cruz dealt - probably the first of a few Twins to be moved in the next couple days. 4* Money Maker LA ANGELS 

Taking the TIGERS. We didn't have Detroit yesterday, but we had them the two games prior. So, now 7 straight wins. Part of me wants to not really play in the Motor City Kitty's. A team projected for 60 something wins reeling off 7 straight. A wheel on the bus should get a flat. That being said, Peralta worth a shot as a dog. Solid numbers. 6 starts (7 games) 33 innings 20 hits. Ok 11 walks and 20 Ks. Not great. But a .94 WHIP and .175 BA Against and the guy is causing some problems for hitters. KC has not been good. I do have an over win ticket on these guys. It's garbage. Bubic off nice start vs the Orioles. Prior to that, 2 starts 8.1 innings 12 hits 10 runs, all earned 4 HRs 6 walks. Oh, the game before the 2 starts. 2/3 of an inning 3 hits 3 earned runs 2 walks and a hit batter! Not exactly inspiring. Tigers playing well. Will grab them as dogs. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

Taking HOUSTON, going RUN LINE. 7 straight losses for Texas. Outscored 54-10 since coming out of the All-Star break. All losses by at least 2 runs. I'll look to RL the Astros all series. 4* RL Money HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking BOSTON. Give me some E Rod here. The numbers don't look good on the surface. But I will dig into him facing the Yankees this year. You already know how I feel about the New York offense. 3 starts vs NYY this season. June 5..  5.1 innings 5 hits 3 earned 7 Ks.   -- June 27.. 6 innings 5 hits 2 earned 8 Ks. -- July 16.. 5.2 innings 2 hits 0 runs 8 Ks. Solid enough for me! We know Cole has had some issues since the sticky lockdown. Coming into last night, Sox had won 8 of the last 10 in the series. 4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX

Taking the TIGERS, again. We ran out a nice RL win yesterday here. Maybe you just went ML. Today, we will go ML. We are taking our RL Magic to the Nationals tonight. So for me - simple thinking here. What is Texas doing? What are they excited about? Their ace was shelled the other night. Their best player is being talked about in trades. This team is a fade away for the rest of the season in my eyes. Now losses in 7 straight games. We like the Tigers F5 today because, 1 they are on a 10-1-3 91% F5 run and Texas has lost 8 straight F5's. But that is just some extra money for our pockets. Tigers now with 5 straight wins and again, playing so much better since their 9-24 start. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

Taking the NATS. So Fedde with some bad numbers. He is 2-0 in 3 starts vs the Marlins with a 1.17 ERA. -- Looking at some nasty starts lately though. But, who did he face. Going 1.1 and giving up 6 earned on 3 hits with 4 walks at home is bad. But, it's San Diego. Then he gave up 6 earned on 8 hits in 4.1 in San Diego. 5 earned on 6 hits at Philly. He is 2-0 in 3 starts vs the Marlins with a 1.17 ERA.  Again, a team playing well, and that can hit. Miami is neither Philly and nowhere near the Padres offense. They are limping along, dragging really, losing 4 straight and 8 of 10. 6-20 last 26 on the road. I will take the shot with the big payday. You can lay the -111 if you want. We rolled the dice yesterday with the Tigers RL. Will do it again for the same reasons here. 4* RL Money WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Going TIGERS, on the RUN LINE. Big shot here. We liked Detroit yesterday. Rangers now have lost 6 straight. I had said when the played the Jays,  hey, worth a shot. Texas 17-13 vs lefties. Well. 0-2 in that double header vs southpaws. Forget about getting outscored 34-2 the last 3 games. Seems like the bats aren't really in sync and the pitching is going wrong right now. Outscored 48-7 in their losing streak. Dunning is someone I would look to at home. (2.54 ERA 9 starts) On the road. Ohh 8 starts, winless, 6.55 ERA and a .319 BA Against and a 1.79 WHIP. The fact he faced Detroit last week, and was solid, at home of course, 5 innings 1 run, 1 hit, a solo HR. I feel that when a teams seems a guy on a turn around, the losing team is looking for pay-back. Add in the way Texas is swinging right now and a ML play for Texas isn't worth taking a shot on a team that has lost 6 straight. Skubal has been decent all year. This is the Tigers, not much expected from them. Again, decent  home split of 3.72 ERA 52 hits in 55 innings 64 strikeouts. Taking the shot on a big return with Detroit. 4* RL Money DETROIT TIGERS 

Taking the BUCKS. We said we liked them outright in Phoenix and that they would wrap this up in six. Not backing off that. Pressure on the Suns. Chris Paul 2-0 nonsense adding to the pressure. Them not shooting well on the road adding even more pressure. Greek Freak showing why he is an MVP. Bucks as a whole on the road to redeeming themselves after their bubble performance last season. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BUCKS

4* RL Money CHICAGO WHITE SOX.. Twins just look totally uninterested right now after that Tigers series. 

Taking OAKLAND, going RUN LINE. I had this game Friday thinking Bassitt was going to start. Well, he didn't, and we took a loss here on the pages. A's 14-3 when their ace is on the hill this season. Will grab them here to get it done. 4* RL Money OAKLAND A's

Going OVER the total. Suns going to shoot better at home, we know this. Bucks will be able to put the ball in the basket. No answer for the Greek Freak. Guy is absolutely dominating this series. Won't be shocked to see a Milwaukee outright win here tonight. Line dropping, I like the Bucks if you are also looking for a side. But to the total. I think we see 220+ here. 4* Total Money OVER Bucks/ Suns

same write up as the rain-out Yesterday. Taking the TWINS. So Minny rolls out of the break with a 4 game win streak going on while Detroit has dropped 4 straight. They send an absolute dumpster fire to the mound today in Urena. The numbers are bad. Nothing else to say. I really want to jump on the Over 7 here also. Minny sending a rookie lefty to the hill in Game 1 of this double header. I just do not have faith in the Motor City Kitty's here with Urena. Guy has been brutal. 39 hits in 28 innings home innings, 325 BA Against - 16 Walks and 15 Strikeout, a 7.71 Home ERA. April 5th vs Minny. 3 innings 4 hits 6 Runs 5 Earned 4 Walks. May 8 vs Minny. 4.1 innings 9 Hits! just 2 Earned Runs somehow. 7-7-4-4-5 runs allowed his last 5 starts. Twins as a short road fave for me here. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

4* RL Money OAKLAND A's 

4* RL Money SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

Taking the WHITE SOX. I will take Cease and Chicago. Not high on Astros. Ok, they rallied back against Yanks right before the break. But I am hesitant to back them here. I know they hit like crazy. I will gladly take the first place White Sox who have the  Best Home Record in all of baseball as an underdog. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

4* Total Money OVER Padres/ Nats

4* Money Maker BOSTON RED SOX 

Taking the PHILLIES. I'll grab some Matt Moore underdog money here. Philly has won 5 of his 6 starts. He has been effective and Philly offense has been scoring runs. Marlins in a slump. And as much as I like Alcantara, he shouldn't be any kind of favorite. Miami 4-8 in 12 starts. Marlins 11 games under 500 on the season, 12 under on the road. I do like Alcantara - I just can't back him as a favorite right now. Phillies came into break hot winning 7 of 10 and are in striking distance of the Mets. Bats have been hot. Might be looking at a home sweep in this double header today. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Going OVER in Los Angeles. We got a couple guys who are known to give up some runs. Heaney with an ERA approaching 6 in his home starts and teams hitting .280 vs him. Sox a Top 5 hitting teams vs lefties. ERod with a 5.89 ERA his last  7 starts and on the road 3-3 11 starts with teams hitting him at .299 clip which may explain the 5.56 ERA.  LAA at home the #4 hitting team in all of MLB and a Top 10 hitter vs lefties. I am actually a little shocked this total isn't 10. Too good to be true. Maybe. But we are firing away. 4* Total Money OVER Angels/ Sox
