4* Money Maker NY METS

Taking the NATIONALS. Think Stras has an outside shot at the Cy Young. To nail it down, he needs some wins in my opinion. Twins good, but sending average at best pitcher to the hill. Washington can hit a bit and should take advantage of Perez who has a home ERA of 4.71. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking the ASTROS. Normally, after a 15-0 beat down, I would come back on that team. But as much as I do like Oakland, I cannot get behind Roark tonight. Miley 5-2 1.71 ERA in 8 career starts vs A's. How about a nice 7-1 2.84 ERA at home 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the RAYS. Time for the better teams to deliver down the stretch. Rays red hot. Leading Wild Card race. Every game counts. Yarbrough 2.25 ERA last last 6 starts with a .195 BAA  - Lynn 0-4 run last 6 starts. Rays 6-1 last 7 vs Rangers. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the DIAMONDBACKS. Gallen pitching well since the trade. Not that high on Wheeler and the Mets. Arizona still fighting for Wild-Card. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Taking the YANKEES. Red Sox all but over. Paxton on a 7-0 run with a sub 3 ERA. I know Rodriguez has nice numbers, but at this price, we are backing the Bombers. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES

Taking the BRAVES. I'll grab Atlanta at this price. And why not. 9-1 last 10, 17-3 last 20 and winners of 20 of their last 25. This is why they are running away with the NL East. Folty pitching better since his Triple A recall. Nola has solid numbers at home. But in this spot, have to take the value on the road dog. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONBACKS 

Taking the YANKEES to put the final nails in the Red Sox season. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES

Taking the CARDINALS. Time to take teams that must win, but at short prices. Maybe it is too good to be true. But we are riding teams fighting for their playoff lives. 4* Money Maker STL CARDS

Taking PHILLIES. Have to fade Bauer who has been brutal since coming to Cincy. How about 1-4 in 6 starts with a 8. 40 ERA. He's gone more than 4+ innings just twice. Nola on the other hand, 2.57 ERA last 15 starts. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the NATIONALS. I know Ross is not on the same level of Syndergaard. This is really based on how Washington has been playing. Which is to say, great! Rendon and Soto having monster seasons for the Nats. 16-3 last 19 games. Mets had dropped 6 straight and now 2-7 last 9 games. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

Taking OAKLAND. Sign me up for some Friers at home. Thought the line was a little low for NY last night and here they are a dog. But they should be. Happ has been brutal. Last 4 starts with a 6+ ERA. A 6 ERA his last 15 starts. 5.40 on the year. 5.20 on the road in 10 starts. Fiers a 2.52 ERA his last 15 starts. How about this- Since April 28th, Fiers with the 2nd lowest ERA among all American League starters (2.52). 2.89 at home in 14 starts with a 1.04 WHIP. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's 

Taking the NATIONALS. Yeah. I will bite on the low hanging fruit. I always tell you the truth with me. Win or lose. And this MLB season - it's been a loser. The no way looks to easy games have been rolling. The huge favorites continue to roll. And that hurts a dog player like me. Because I can't lay -250 and now -300 and even -400 numbers. It will be a grind the next month on the bases for sure. But we have NFL and CFB which if you look at the past years on the leaderboards, I have been dominating (#1 in NFL 2017 season. Top 5 NFL + CFB last year) -- So Joe Ross. He's dealing. A .50 ERA last 18 innings. Pirates at times look like they have thrown in the towel. Give me Washington battling for a playoff spot. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking the DODGERS. This is almost my limit on laying with a fave. Thought about RL. Ryu having a great season. Just crazy numbers. How about no runs in 8 of his 22 starts. A 1.21 ERA and .93 WHIP on the year. Folty with a 7.41 his last 4 starts vs LAD. He has a 6.24 ERA on the year and 6.27 here at home. LA will have 8 runs on this guy by the 5th. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS 

Taking the WHITE SOX, again. Giolito is having a nice little year. That being said, I know Sox aren't that great. But as a small dog. I'm in. Can't discount them battling back last night either. No quit in them. Tonight they face a youngster making his 2nd start. 4* Money Maker WHITE SOX 

Taking the TWINS. Do or die time for Minny. Schedule says you should be winning games. Start winning. Minor with a nice little season going. But again - I just have to go with who I think is the overall better team. Said in March I thought Minny was winning the Central. Not backing off that now. Time to step up Twins. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the WHITE SOX. Now sure why the Angles are such a huge favorite here. Lost 7 of 10, while Sox come in winners of 6 of 10. Heaney isn't pitching like a Cy Young contender. In fact, this is his 2nd start back from the DL. That was 3.2 innings of 75 pitch ball. At best, he goes 5 tonight. But Lopez is - Or at least he is compared to his first half numbers. 6 starts since the All Star break, and he has a 2.13 ERA compared to 6.34 before. 38 innings 40Ks and 32 hits. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the RAYS. Tampa playing good ball winning 8 of 10 and right there in the Wild Card. Padres had a nice year, and though it isn't over, I don't think they make the Wild Card. A lot of their youngsters got a full season of experience and next year this team will be one to watch. For me though, I am on the scrappy Rays. If we get them a dog all series, sign me up. Should be able to take the series from San Diego. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the NATIONALS. This comes down to Stras vs Stroman. Stras has pretty decent numbers lifetime vs the Mets. And I don't think this team is as good as past ones. Stroman I think will be better pitching in the NL. How can he not improve getting out of the AL East! Strasburg in off getting shelled in Arizona. I expect a dominate performance tonight. Laying the short number, we will back the road faves. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking the ANGELS. I'll be first to say that the Angles aren't all that great shakes. On the same token, who the heck are the Red Sox to be laying huge numbers like this. This team is sputtering, and sputtering laying more than 2-1. Sale is clearly not his old self. Whether injured or just that his arm is done, he is by far not his dominate self. A 7.47 ERA his last 7 starts! Dillon Peters just his 3rd start and 8th game. But he is stretching out after 5 and 4 innings, last game 7 2/3s. Again, this is us just fading Boston for another series of them laying big numbers. 4* Money Maker LA ANGELS 

Taking the NATIONALS. Yes, line a little for my liking. Washington the better team, but in a bit of hiccup after dropping 7 of 10. Sanchez has been pretty solid though overall and 2-0 with a 3.72 ERA in five starts. Menez is getting a spot start. Nats in the think of things, and they have beaten up losing teams throughout the year. More of the same tonight. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking the WHITE SOX. Twins have been getting hammered lately. We had them last night. Bullpen brutal. I like Berrios, but he does give up some runs. Have to grab Giolito who is having a solid season in this home dog spot. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the REDS. I came out of the gate hard on Cincy and paid a hefty fine. But this is still a tough team. You have seen me write how I like the bullpen a lot. Gray is better than Darvish in this spot. Darvish with an ERA over 5 in his 5 home starts this season. Since his signing, he hasn't had good numbers at Wrigley. Reds on a 7-3 run vs the Cubs. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the MARINERS. Look. Don't like taking teams on 4 game slides, especially against a team that has won 4 in a row and 8 of 10. But I can't lay this number with Mengden. Just no value on him at this price. Guy is not worthy of this number. He has a 5.12 ERA in 4 games, 3 starts at home. Ok, what is ERA to you- I get that. How about a .282 BA Against. That is way too high for my liking. The 1.76 WHIP is the icing on top. 12 walks in 19 innings of work with 22 hits allowed. Marco Gonzales is pitching well. 5-1 2.89 his last 6 starts and 3-0 2.57 vs Oakland in 3 starts this season. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Taking the WHITE SOX. So we have made a little coin on Giolito already this season. We will grab him and Chicago as a small fave. KC just traded off Homer Bailey confirming what all believe in that if the Royals can get anything for a veteran, they will deal. So they have officially tossed in the towel. Not really a lot of motivation for the home team. Sox already went through this phase. They are trotting out their youngsters and this one looks like an ace. Nice career numbers vs KC for Giolito 6-0 2.13 in 10 starts (team 8-2). On the year, even better road numbers as he sports 6-1 2.73 ERA in 8 starts with a .190 BA Against and a 1.07 WHIP. Junis with a 5+ ERA on the year clearly gives up runs. 5.89 ERA at home in 10 starts. Sox 10-3 in Giolito's last 13 starts while KC on 1-5 run in Junis' last 6 home starts. 4* Total Money OVER Sox/ Royals 

Taking the NATIONALS. One -  Strasburg has great career numbers vs Philly, 12-2 record with a 2.72 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 25 career starts. Two - Consistent. Look at his season to Pivetta's. Pivetta back at Triple A, then shuttled back to Philly. Looked OK in 3 starts back with a 1.80 ERA, then a 7.33 ERA his last 4. Phillies are 0-8 in Pivetta's last 8 starts vs Nats while Washington is on a 18-4 run as a team when Stras is on the hill vs Phily. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking the PHILLIES. Have to grab Nola at this price. I know it looks to easy. But the line does looks correct. For as sharp as he has been recently and through the last 2 months, even on the year, Nola overall has had trouble on the road. But I can't get behind the Mets in any fashion. This team will be dealing off pieces the next few weeks. Give me the better overall team with their ace on the hill to put another coffin in a division rivals coffin. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking TAMPA and will also be on the OVER. 4* Money Maker  TAMPA  BAY RAYS

Coming back again on MINNY. Won't give up on the series with our ace on the hill.  4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

Taking the TWINS. Regression hit Odorizzi last month but still with nice overall numbers on the season. I mean, 7 starts and 5 you don't give up runs, you can't keep that up. Lo and behold we get 4-4-3 runs in his last 3. Still have a lot of faith in this Minny team. Offensively, very good. Not sure what to expect out of Mengden - only he has a great 'stache. Line might seem a little too good to be true, but we will grab the low hanging fruit tonight. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the REDS. Castillo having another nice season. The walks concern me a bit. Since a 2.56 ERA will be tough to carry even with a .182 BA Against if you are walking guys left and right. That being said, his home splits are very good with a WHIP of .97 and BAA of .164. Reds a tough team for me to figure out  for sure. But I do like them in this spot. Quintana hasn't won a game since the beginning of May. Has an over approaching 7 his last 30 innings. His BA Against on the road is .288 in 8 games with an ERA of 4.93, walks a guy every other inning and has allowed 45 hits in those 38 inning of away ball. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS

Taking the RANGERS. Quietly, these guys are winning games. I will say this. Back in late April/ early May I was reading some Texas articles saying how this team was brutal. The bullpen. The starters. They are bad. And lo and behold here they are, what, 6 back of their mighty neighbors Houston Astros. Chavez getting the nod here. Last game, 5 strong out of the bullpen on the heels of a start and 3 innings of work. Those 2 games, 8 inning 5 hits 1 earned on a HR, 7 strikeouts zero walks. We do know that the Tigers are brutal. Zimmerman in his 2nd start off DL. His first, 4 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs. I hope he goes deeper today and not on a pitch count. 7 starts, shade short of 35 innings. So basically he's a 5 inning pitcher with a 6 ERA. They say he is healthy. Well if he's as healthy as his April numbers, the Rangers should have 5 runs up by they 4th inning. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

Taking the WHITE SOX. Will again back Giolito. Off his worse start and a loss to snap an 8 game win streak. Now we see what we have. Giolito continues last game regression and the Sox hit him well. Or, he is as good as his run and gives up 2 or 3 over 7. Either way, we like him over Rodriguez. Yes, he has been solid his last few starts. But, Rodriguez is an Over pitcher.  How about 14-3 his last 17 starts going over. We will see some runs tonight. Also on the OVER in this match-up. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the ROYALS. You know we have been down on the Indians all season. Not having faith in Plutko laying this kind of number. I don't care about 8 of 10 wins. This team is not that good. KC can hit. And Keller struck out 10 Indians back in April. Worth a small play at this price. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS 

Taking the GIANTS. Not that I think that San Fran is going anywhere this season. But we are getting a little value here with them as a dog. I think Arizona has overachieved most of this season. They traded their best guy and are hanging around .500. Look. One thing I like to do is get away from teams bringing relievers into starter rolls. And Clarke fits that role to a T. His first 2 starts, fine - goes 6 innings. Ok, maybe he will be a starter. Last 4 games. 15 innings 21 hits 15 runs 14 earned 9 walks 17 strikeouts. Biting dog. 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS 

Back on TAMPA. This is a good team people. We aren't getting off of them this series. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS 

Taking the TWINS. Give me Berrios all day over Porcello. You know I think Porcello is a gas can. Young gun Berrios having a nice season. Minny off a loss - Still the best record in MLB. Still the best offensive club in MLB. Sox have had trouble this year beating good teams. Bottom feeders, Boston takes out the trash. Not as easy vs top flight teams. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the RANGERS. I will be looking at Texas all series as dogs. This team has really turned it around. Lynn with a 1.99 ERA his last 7 starts. A nice 24-12 record at home. Indians, you know, I have been down on all season. Don't think they should be favored here. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

Taking TAMPA BAY. Will be on the Rays as long as they are dogs in the series. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the WHITE SOX. 9-1 2.28 ERA for Giolito. How about a .88 ERA his last 7 starts? Guy is dealing. This Yankees team has crushed me basically the last 2 weeks with Run Lines. So yes, I am down on them a bit. But we add their light hitting to facing a kid who is just dealing right now, have to go with the home team. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

Taking the ROCKIES. Hamels having a nice year. As we dig though, we see he gets hit more on the road. And Mile High is not known to be a pitchers park. A 3.89 road ERA as opposed to a 2.58 at home. Senzatela coming off a nice game, but he has been mediocre at best this year. Just think the Rockies get it done as a home dog. Cubs with a losing road record on the year. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES 

Taking the REDS. Plesac has been great in his starts. But, always a but, today's starters don't throw a lot of pitches. He's off a 111. Regression will start to rear it's head and we will be there to cash when it does. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the REDS. High on Castillo, plus you know from us taking Cincy over Philly all weekend we like the bats and the bullpen. Indians hurt us as we we faded them RLs vs NYY. But I stand by them as having zero right to be any kind of favorite. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the ANGELS. Taking the youngster here. Yes, Ryu has been absolutely lights out on the year. 9-1 with a 1.35 ERA on the year and you will be hearing Cy Young talk for sure. But this kid Canning is a solid arm. #2 in the Angels system. A .99 WHIP at home and a .205 BAA in 4 starts. I think being new and unfamiliar to the Dodgers will be a nice edge for him. 4* Money Maker LA ANGELS 

Taking the PHILLIES. Will grab the small home faves tonight. Eickhoff solid at home. Yes a 4 ERA - But we see a respectable 1.12 WHIP and .239 BAA. 30k/7BB ratio is nice also. Not sold on Arizona coming off a win over a bad Toronto team. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the ROCKIES. Will take a shot on the nice dogs here. Colorado playing well winning 7 of 10. This Mets team looks like it is on a fast track to nowhere. Thor not the same pitcher as seasons past. Just don't think NY should be favored like this over any team. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

Taking the YANKEES, again. Of course I am on them after they killed us on the RL. Again, I am not high on the Tribe at all. NYY is a better team. They don't have many long losing streaks. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES

Taking the REDS. Been on this group all weekend, not changing out now. Gray has a 2.45 ERA his last 4 starts. As I said before, I like the pen and the offense. Just need them to all be on the same page for a game though!  4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking TAMPA. Snell has not looked anything like a Cy Young winner this year. But the Rays can hit and more importantly, they win games. Rodriguez sports an ERA over 6 in 7 career starts vs Tampa. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the YANKS, again. I hate repeating myself, but I do not like this Indians team. I know we lost last night, but this NYY team is too good to get beat by a light hitting bunch in back to back games. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES

Taking the REDS, again. So again, high on the Cincy pen and I think their offense is pretty decent. Pivetta off first start since his Triple A demotion looked good. But I think the Reds get to him today. In 5 home starts, a 7.71 ERA 1.89 WHIP and .343 BA Against. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the WHITE SOX. Lost here last night, but will come back on Chicago. Giolito has been sharp on the year. A .95 WHIP in 11 starts. Guy should be able to take care of the Royals. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

Taking the WHITE SOX. Will continue to fade Homer Bailey. And why not fade the KC train also! 6 straight losses, 9 of 10, 12 of 14 and 14 of 18. -- 1-7 last 8 at home. Sox have won 6 of last 7 in series. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

Taking the RAYS. This is a tough team people. I know Sox have won 4 straight. But TB will get it done. You know my feelings on Rick Porcello. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the YANKEES. I have been down on Cleveland all year. This team will be trading away pieces in another month. Not good offensively and the pitching is banged up. NYY off a strange series vs the Jays will want to beat up a bad team which they normally do. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES 

Taking the REDS. One, I like Mahle. Two. Eflin off the DL. I know that he had been the Philly's best starter. But I am thinking we see a bit of regression, especially in a first start back situation. Anything with a back always raises an eyebrow for me.  Reds in last place, but I like the bullpen as this team has actually outscored their opponents on the year. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

Taking OAKLAND. Just a bad spot for the Angles. Day game Monday at Wrigley. That's an 8 day road trip that started with 3 vs these A's, 4 in Seattle and a make up in Chicago. Now they face Montas - The guy has allowed 3 or fewer in 10 of his 11 starts. 2.57 ERA his last 6 and 2.81 on the year. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's 

Taking the TWINS. Best team in the AL as a dog. Best run differential in the league as a dog. Indians outscored on the year with a weak offense as a fave. Forget it. I know we have a guy making just his 2nd start. He looked good vs Milwaukee though. Beiber nothing special vs Minny with a 4.58 career ERA vs the Twins. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the YANKEES. No way they sweep! This is the Red Sox. Doesn't matter one bit that Price is 0-6 with a 9.79 ERA vs NY since joining Boston. The Price is Wrong. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES 

Taking the YANKS. I know German is coming off getting pounded by KC. But I think the youngster bounces back tonight. He's be great at home with a .97 WHIP and .177 BA Against. You know that I am no fan of Porcello also. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES

4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

Taking the BREWERS. I know I have written about not like GG in the past. But I will grab him in this spot. Yes, Twins pounding teams and outscoring them like nobodies business. How do I trust Pineda? Simple. I don't. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS

Taking the ROCKIES. So I was not high on Greinke coming into the year, especially after seeing him tossing high 80s in his first start. His numbers though are very good so far. That being said, this number looks like they want you to think easy money on Arizona as a small dog. Nothing is easy in this business. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES 

Taking the Angels. I don't have this Rangers team rated very highly. This staff will fall apart any minute. A 8-1 run now - oh no. Reality sets in for Texas. Angels not in as bad shape as Texas. Minor can't keep up the pace he is on with this ERA and WHIP. 4* Money Maker LA ANGELS

Taking the MARINERS. On a winless road trip and now 8 straight road losses, and losers now 15 of 17 games. Yet, the line has dropped since coming out? And all the money is coming in on Oakland. Small dog gets the call. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Taking the RAYS. One, I think Snell is the better pitcher. Two, you know I am down on this Indians lineup. Third and finally - Bieber coming off a 15K CG SHO. Fughedaboutit. Fading the youngster off that outing. Not that he through a ton of pitches - just 107 which I think is very low for a 15K game. I just believe he will come in trying to overpower and have a repeat performance. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the PADRES. Like Lucchesi. Kid has been solid. Don't be scared by that ERA. His FIP is a full run lower. This Jays team is light hitting and will be bad the entire year. Thornton started off nice, but his numbers were opposite of what we see from the San Diego hurler. He really has had 2 good starts all season. He only has gotten out of the 6th inning twice. He is a 5+ innings guy, who will walk a few guys a game. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES

4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES

4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the CUBS. This is just a play basically on Hendricks. Think he is the ace of this Cubs team. He had that great breakout year in 2016 with a 2.13 ERA and .98 WHIP in 190 innings. He followed with just 24 starts but posted a respectable 3.03 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Last year was another solid season going 14-11 3.43 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 34 starts. This year the WHIP is right on pace, 1.15 and his ERA 2.86 is pretty much around where it should be compared to his last 3 years. He has been absolutely dealing his last 3 starts going 9-8-8 innings with 1 earned running and 17Ks to 1 walk in those 25 innings. Hellickson, like the rest of the Nats, has been a disaster with a 6+ ERA and this team I suspect will start dealing pieces soon. I know they have big money tied up in their staff, but I can see some changes coming. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS 

Taking the TIGERS. I'm a Boyd fan. Just like the kids' stuff. He has been sharp with a .99 WHIP. Just 41 hits in 54.1 innings. A's have some big lumber, but I the lefty should keep that in check here in his home park. He had a 2.63 ERA in 14 home starts last year with a .98 WHIP and .198 BAA in 78.2 innings of work. Not expecting much from Mengden. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

Taking TAMPA. Used the Rays on the Free Pick Video yesterday, will come back again this afternoon. Rematch of arms from last meeting, I am going with the losers of that game now favored on the road. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the ROCKIES. Will grab the small dogs tonight. Colorado really crushing the ball lately. 2nd start for Irvin so hitters will have some tape to see his stuff. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES 

Taking the BRAVES. Line looks a little off to me. Chacin pitching very well. Brewers in off thumping Philly. Fried beat up in last start. Money coming in on Milwaukee. Yet line move up in favor of Atlanta. Going with the home team. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES 

Taking the ASTROS. Just think Houston is better. Not a fan at all of Porcello. Not a too heavy a price for who I think is the best team in the AL. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS

Taking the TWINS. Like Berrios. Has improved every season and is looking extremely sharp so far here in 2019. Not high on LAA at all. I will also be on the UNDER. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS + Under

Taking the TIGERS. Like Boyd. Kid is putting together a nice year. I don't like when they flip guys between the bullpen and starting. Peacock was a beast when he strictly came out of the pen. This line does also look a tad low to me. Astros red hot while the Tigers, well, come on, it's Detroit baseball. Give me the home dogs with a solid arm on the hill though. Will also be on the UNDER 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS + Under

Taking CLEVELAND. No fans of the Indians. I have future AL Central tickets on the Twins. But getting this number, I have to make a play on the Tribe. We have made some coin backing Oakland. But not a chance we roll the dice on them at this price. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

Going TAMPA here. You know I really want to go RL +145. We are just 7-10 showing a slight 40$ profit on run lines. For me tonight, I think Glasnow gets it down. German no slouch. Both kids getting it done in impressive fashion. Slight edge to the home team tonight. 4* Money Maker TB RAYS 

Taking the REDS, again. Had them last night, back on them with Sonny Gray. Gray has past success in this park so that should help a bit. Still waiting for the Cincy bats to really get going for us since you know I really like the bullpen of this team. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS

Taking the REDS. I have said it before, and have lost, but I like Cincy. I really like the bullpen. Think they have some nice young arms (Mahle and just called up Reed). The line up isn't hitting much, but it will. It is just too good to keep slumping. Fiers has been bad all season. A's overall, off to a rough start. Their patchwork group of vets they have are not delivering. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the PHILLIES. Had the Over in this game last night, and might take a look to play on that. But have to grab the small faves here after getting shut out. Nola sharp in his last 2 starts after a slow start. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking the TWINS. Shaking my head that I didn't grab them yesterday. I like this team a lot and think they can make some noise in the Central. Not sold on the Indians and their lineup. Twins with a lot of young talent, and we get a rising star on the hill tonight. Berrios sharp all April. Toronto has Vlad Jr and some future hopes. Future is now in Minny. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the PADRES. I know big bad Cy Young DeGrom is on the hill. But I am not sold on him being 100%. Yes, off a nice outing. But an ERA approaching 10 in his 3 starts before that. Paddack a beast in his 6 starts so far. 1.91 ERA .70 WHIP a .112 BAA. Don't think we see many runs tonight either, - count me in on the home team. 4* Money Maker SD PADRES 

4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the METS. Not high on GG. The fact that the Yankees didn't want to bring him to the majors sends up a red flag to me. I mean, I am not some GM - But the NYY staff is pretty beat up. Not sure you couldn't find a role for this guy. Maybe there is something wrong. Going to the Brewers after opting out was the obvious choice as he was traded here and started 5 games last season. He pitched OK in his last start vs the Mets. But I like Wheeler. The ERA is not impressive by any stretch (over 5), and he seems to have what most pitchers who aren't on the elite level have - that one inning. Mets bats struggling a bit, but with a guy like GG on the hill, I think edge visitors. 4* Money Maker NY METS 

Taking the TWINS. Had these guys last night, will come back again. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS
