Taking the NATS here. Generally I will play a top team off a shutout. Add in that they get a soft tosser like Colon, and I am all in. Not that it could matter, but the NYP has a front page of Colon and his 'secret' family. The guy seems to have 2 kids with his side chick (4 with wife) and the jump-off is calling him a dead beat. Now, this isn't news to Bartolo, but I am sure he isn't happy with it being tabloid front page material. Back to the baseball side of things. GG has a tidy 1.93 ERA in 7 starts with just 2 wins to show for it. .224 BA Against 1.12 WHIP not terrible numbers. He has given up more than 2 earned once, (5) against the Cubs. Colon will give up his 3 runs a game. He'll go 7 for you. That is what he does. Nats 8-2 in Gio's last 10 starts vs Mets. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking the RANGERS here. Well. We won on the A's game 1. Lost with Rangers last night. And are back to Texas here. Martin Perez is rocking a 1. 56 ERA so far in his 3 May starts. A .180 BA Against isn't too shabby either. What is there to say about Rich Hill? Hats off to a career year at 36. I just think the Rangers get it done here after last nights tough loss. They want to get that taste out of their mouths in a hurry. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the RANGERS here. We cashed with Oakland last night. But we will flip sides and back Hamels as the short road fave. Hahn gets the nod out of Triple A tonight. Now, he has 2 starts under his belt already this year going 12 innings (4 runs) for a perfect 3 ERA. The guy really doesn't have terrible career numbers (14-11 3.21 32 games 30 starts). He should really be given a spot at the end of someones rotation. But in all fairness. He isn't Cole Hamles and the Rangers coming off a loss. I thought we would see a Texas let down last night and we got it. Ranges 16-1 in his last 17 starts. We know what we are getting from the lefty. 200 innings 200 Ks, solid ERA. At this price, can't shy away. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

Taking the ROYALS here. Defending champs trying to find a little bit of the last 2 years magic. They have struggled so far this year. But I do like what I have seen from them on a whole. Porcello has been savior in the rotation for the Sox. 6-1 with a .99 WHIP, respectable ERA for sure. Just feel like the regression is coming. I am not saying he isn't going to go somewhere like 16-8 or along those lines. But he isn't a big strike out guy. His BA against is nearly 70 points below his career numbers. So I don't think we are seeing some newly invented guy. I think we are seeing a guy pitching about his head. Porcello pitches to contact most of the time. Royals are patient and are too good to be slumping for extended periods of time. Ventura has been impressive in his 3 home starts (.177 BA against 2.65 ERA). 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS 

Taking the WHITE SOX here. I hate going against Keuchel. Guy made me a ton and was great in my fantasy league last season. But that was last year. Not the same guy. Well, maybe in 3 starts he has been. But every time you think he is about to start something, he gets shelled the next outing. He has given up 4 HRs his last two starts, and this White Sox can bring some lumber to the box. Now Rodon sure isn't pitching like Cy Young. In this spot though, I think the Sox have a little bit more offense, and frankly, one of the better bullpens so far of the young season. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

Taking the MARINERS here. Neither pitcher with impressive numbers on the year. Ubaldo is sporting a 6+ ERA in his 3 May starts. Miley a big better sitting in the mid 4s.. But if we add in his CG SHO to end April, he is on a nice little run giving up 6 runs in 21 innings with a 1.00 WHIP and 200 BA against. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the MARLINS here. We cashed here last night and will come back again. First. How does this line swing like this? Velasquez is the hot young arm right? Well, he has been average at best his last 2 starts giving up 4 runs in both (6innings both games). The Ks have been about 1 an inning which is a lot different then him K'ing 25 in his first 15 innings of work this year. Let's be honest. We know the Phillies are suppose to be in a big rebuild. They started off very hot, very impressive. But this Marlins team has some solid pieces with a little bit of major league success behind them. I'll grab the veteran Chen and friends tonight. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS 

Taking OAKLAND here. Have to fade the Texas train here with Holland on the hill. I will be the first to say I had these guys as AL West Champs if they can hold it together with Yu coming back. But Holland, I think they should start looking somewhere else. Can't find a much worse option, especially on the road. Holland brings a miserable 7.40 road ERA to town in 4 starts. 24 hits in 20+ innings, 17 earned. Yikes. Hitters slapping him at nearly a .290 mark. The 10 walk/ 12 strike out ratio doesn't help matters either. I can't discount a bit of let down spot either from Texas. They took 2 of 3 from the Jays, and started a melee. There is really not a much of a positive spin for me to place on Manaea and his 11+ ERA except that he has an awesome first name (Sean!). Still, I think Texas is in a bit of spot where the A's can steal a home win. The numbers show Holland is bad, but Manaea's has his beat. Yet they are favored having lost 7 of 10, while Rangers won 7 of 10. I tend to jump on lines like this, and long term wise, we have made money doing it. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's 

4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the DBACKS here. Fade Peavy in full effect. 14.25 road ERA. .351 BA against. 1.91 WHIP a nearly 8.50 ERA. Nothing else left to say. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DBACKS 

Taking the WHITE SOX here. Same thinking as yesterday with these team. Now Quintana isn't sale, but the guy has been deadly so far this season. A .99 WHIP and 1.38 ERA 42Ks in 45+ innings. His last 4 starts a microscopic .64 ERA and .186 BA against. And then we have Ivan Nova and the Yankees line-up. Not happy laying with road fave, but will grab the dominate pitcher here. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

Taking the WHITE SOX here. You know I am not big on faves, especially a 140 road favorite. But Chris Sale is something special. Also, we aren't getting any real value at +110 on the RL either. Sale has been crushing it all year. A perfect 7-0, 1.79 ERA .77 WHIP and a BA against of .165 - Oh, did I mention his 1.21 career ERA vs the Yanks. Speaking of the Bombers. That is what they have been doing recently. But with the exception of David Price, they haven't faced a guy like Sale. And even against Price. We have seen the Yanks able to get runs of stud pitchers who they see often in division games. Sale is a very tough lefty. And I still the Yanks have several gaps in their lineup that need to be addressed before I take them seriously against a proven guy like this. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES

Taking the DBACKS here. Almost want to grab them +190 or whatever they are on the RL. The Giants offense had been awful scoring 1 run the last 3 games and 3 runs the previous 4 before getting on the board 5 times yesterday. Not sure they will have an easy time here vs Greinke. I was quick to fade the big FA signee out of the gate, but he appears to be rounding into shape his last 2 starts. In fact, if we through the STL blitz against him, he has been good in 4 of his last 5. Arizona just had a 5 game win streak snapped, but can get back on the horse here tonight. Arizona has won the last 4 against SF. Cueto has 2 absolute gems in 2 of his last 3 starts. I always liked this guy. But at this price, I have take the team with Goldy, who can win the game by himself. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Taking the PADRES here. I will go ugly. I can't pass up a double header dog getting 2-1. Rea hasn't been terrible overall. He was roughed up in his first start giving up 5 runs in 3 innings. He has given up just 9 in his last 31. That isn't too shaby. The Cubs have to lose eventually right. Right? 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

Taking the PADRES here. I played these clowns early and will come back with them again. If I go 0-2 with a pair of big dogs, I can live with it. Because there is no way on God's green Earth I can live with myself taking -220 faves and going 0-2. Pomeranz is sporting a 2.12 ERA with a WHIP of 1.09 and .176 BA Against. I can live taking a dog with a guy like that on the hills. Even against the mighty Cubs offense. Lackey is what, like 50. In all seriousness. He is a nice veteran here. But the guy has a 4+ ERA and I really think that his best days are far behind him. I know the Cubs have been absolutely brilliant so far, but this line is inflated based on them scoring huge amount of runs. It's a day-night double dip. Some guys will get rested. I think we have the stronger starter. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO PADRES 

4* Money Maker ARIZONA DBACKS

Taking the ASTROS here. Lost backing Kluber last night when I said in my write up my gut says Friers. Well, no such gut move tonight. Strictly numbers. Bauer hasn't been effictive since coming out of the pen. 2 starts, 6 runs in 9.2 innings. Devenski is another pen to rotation guy. But in his 2 starts, 11 innings, 3 runs. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS

Taking the ORIOLES here. Much like last nights loser on Kluber and the Indians, this line looks a bit too good to be true. But I can't back a rookie on a team that is in the midst of a 5 game losing streak. Gausman doesn't have a win in 3 starts. But does sport a .68 WHIP and a .152 BA against. Worth a shot at this price. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES 

Taking the BRAVES here. I like this Wisler kid and he is coming off a gem vs the Mets. I think he controls the Philly bats tonight. The guy has a .90 WHIP and .175 BA against so you know he make things tough for the Phillies. Philly counters with Adam Morgan who hasn't gotten past the 6 in either start so far (5,4). 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES

Taking the A's here. Had these guys last night and they were hammered. Off a bad loss like that, I am on board. Especially against a back end, way, way back end of a rotation guy like O'Sullivan. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

Taking the MARINERS here. Another case of a line I am concerned about. But I make my money long term in MLB by backing solid starters and not laying heavy numbers. So when I can get King Felix, even with less velocity, at home, laying a short price, I will grab it. Even with a drop in MPH, Hernandez is still posting solid numbers. K's are down, just 29 in 36 innings, but with 2300 innings logged, that is expected. He is still producing a .204 BA against after being roughed up by the A's for 8 runs on 9 hits in just 4 innings of work. He has great career numbers vs TB (7-2 1.90 15 starts) and I attribute the blip against Oakland as a team that sees him more, so they can get him on a bad day. TB just beat up on the Angels who I have been an under team from the start. They send Matt Moore here who is also off his worse start of the season. With 4 straight wins, Rays are now 9-9 on the road. Seattle is just 5-7 at home, but with the hot hitting of Cano, Kyle Seager finding his stroke, and the powerful Nelson Cruz lurking, I think we have a safe play here. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the METS here. Will grab Matz here on the short price. Take out his first start and he has an ERA of .66! And that first start was basically because of quirky scheduling and not pitching at all. The kid has been a beast since. 29Ks in 27 innings. Dodgers are home after playing a weekend set across the country, in another country for that matter vs the Blue Jays. Mets a short drive away after playing San Diego. Kazmir, though with a nice strike out to inning ratio, has a bit of a high ERA which tells me, and you for that matter, he gives up hits at the wrong time. If he gives up his normal 4 runs in 5, 6 innings, should be another W for Matz and the Mets. 4* Money Maker NY METS

Taking the INDIANS here. Have to say, my gut is telling me to take the Astros with Friers here. I see this line and shake my head. The guy has a 5+ ERA, teams hitting over .300 against him,  and a 1.40 WHIP. And we are sitting basically at PK vs Kluber. Indians bats have been up and down yes. But, Astros are a strike out machine as a team and are facing a guy who Ks a man an inning. His last 3 games have been gems. He did start out rocky with a low point of the Mets rocking him for 9 hits and 6 earned in 6 innings of work. But minus that game, the guy is putting up Cy Young numbers. 3 earned his last 24 innings with 23Ks and 12 hits. Career wise Kluber is a solid 4-1 1.48 ERA vs the 'Stros. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

Taking the OAKLAND A's here. I generally will fade the Sunday night winner, especially off a win off a bitter rival. Red Sox/ Yankees may have lost some luster, but Boston is no fan of NY. And getting a big win like that puffs out their chest some. Now they can be flat against a quality starter like Sonny Gray. Gray hasn't been particularly sharp his last couple outings. Walking way too many for my liking. But there is no way I would back Clay Buchholz anytime. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

Taking the ROYALS here. Well, the reigning World Series Champs are looking more like chumps dropping 7 of 10. But the Bombers are not much of a bombing team. Yes they might explode against the Red Sox for a few runs. But as we saw last night, this offense is nothing special. It is old and needs HRs to win. Yanks feel good having won 2 of 3 from their rivals. But KC needs to start putting some wins together. White Sox are off to a fast start and are looking to be this years Royals surprising everyone. So we get Nova who has pitched poorly out of the pen for what will probably be 5 innings depending on his pitches. KC lineup deep and works pitch counts. Both bullpens are above average. Chris Young will give us 5, if we are lucky 6 innings tonight. If the bats hit like they suppose to, we should have a relative easy win tonight in the boogie down Bronx. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS 

Taking the PHILLIES here. Can't not grab Nola at this price. I know Marlins have been winning, but Philly has the edge here on the hill. A .80 WHIP, .176 BA Against. 25 hits in 40 innings with 44Ks. What else is there to say? A 20 inning scoreless streak and team hitting .64 against him in road starts. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 

Taking TAMPA BAY here. I have written here about my fade train of Jered Weaver. The guy with an 83 MPH fastball that is trying to a pass himself off as a MLB starting pitcher. I will be first to say that a 3-1 record in 5 starts hasn't shown me any profit. But the odds-makers know what is coming as he hasn't be favored more than 125 and is in pick'em most of the time. Like today. Before getting shelled my the Brewers for 7 runs in 5 innings, Weaver had a .286 BA against 1.41 WHIP with 11Ks and 7 walks in 26 innings. Those numbers ballooned to .325 BA against and 1.62 WHIP. Not saying that TB is going to rock out 11 hits in 5 innings here. But the fact is Weaver is out there soft tossing balls to guys who get paid to hit. With the loss of Richards at the top of the rotation, Pujols at .202 with 140 million due the next 5 years, Simmons hitting .216, this team is a mess. LeBron can carry 4 guys on the court. He can always have ball. Trout can't hit in all 9 slots and isn't a pitcher. Tampa Bay 5-1 last 6 times faces Weaver including 5 straight here at Angel Stadium. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS 

Taking the RANGERS here. Had these guys last night, and will come back with Griffin today. Guy has been great this year. That's that. A .180 BA Against, 1.00 WHIP, 2.32 ERA with 20 hits allowed in 30 innings to go along with 26Ks. He hasn't pitched in 2 years. Griffin was 21-11 with 3+ ERA with 47 starts and a .230 BA against and not a terrible WHIP. Sometimes it takes a guys a bit longer to get back from TJ surgery. And then we have Mike Pelfrey who is 6 years removed from looking like a starting MLB pitcher. The guy is sporting a .359 BA Against and a 2+ WHIP. He has walked (15) more guys than he has K'd (12). 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

Taking the MARINERS here. Seattle has reeled off 8 wins the last 10 games and the Astros are asking themselves what the heck is going on here. Walker looks like he has figured things out and could be on his way to a very good year. 29Ks in 30 innings with a tidy 1.09 WHIP vs a team that swings and misses like nobody else. Fister is a nice soft tossing innings filler, but I think Seattle gets about 5 off him here tonight in this park. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the RANGERS here. Saw this line opened around 155 and now sitting around the 130 mark. Zimmerman has been absolutely lights out with a blistering .55 ERA on the year. But you beat who is in front of you. You beat 3 teams a combined 23 games under .500 and 2 more teams a combined 3 games over .500. Texas has dropped 3 straight and are coming off a 12-2 beat down. I expect the Rangers to show some Texas sized pride tonight and get a win. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

Taking the DODGERS here. Have to grab LA here as a small dog with Maeda on the hill. Guy has been absolutely terrific. 3-1 in 5 starts, a 1.41 ERA, .205 BA against, .94 WHIP. Can't really knock Stroman with a .95 WHIP and a .191 BA Against, but the 3.77 ERA tells me when he gets hit, the hits come in bunches and he gives up runs. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS 

Taking the NATS here. Will grab Scherzer at this price. Guy off his best start after an up and down month. But we know what we will get from him. 7+ 7Ks, maybe a run or 2. Not as much faith in Lackey holding down a lineup. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS

Taking the WHITE SOX here. We will continue to fade away on Buchholz. Just not a fan of this guy. Rodon on the other hand. Well, I like his stuff, especially with the way the White Sox have been playing. His numbers are a bit skewed as he went a third of an inning giving up 5 runs to the Angels. 4*  Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

* real fast - so we have been up and down lately with bases. I am sticking to what I know that has profited us in the past. We aren't taking big names and heavy faves. We take a lot of dogs and will have many split days only making a few dollars. It is a long season, with a lot of action. I always suggest and tell you my monthly or season best is best value rather than buying daily. Money Management in everything we do *

Taking the TWINS here. I do like Fiers. I thought this is a nice add for the 'Stros. But I just think that Minny is ready to put together something here. Hughes had logged 4 straight quality starts before his last game. Again. It isn't sexy, but he puts us in a spot to win games. Houston has under achieved so far and they have no right laying this kind of number right now. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

Taking the MARINERS here. Have to back Felix at this price even it looks too good to be true. Fact is that bullpens have been killing me lately. But at least here I get a guy who will give at least 7, possible 8 innings of 1 run or less ball. Hernandez has been a beast this year with a .165 BA against, 1.38 ERA and 28 Ks in 32 innings, with just 19 hits allowed. It is tough to sweep teams, especially on the road. But Seattle is hitting the ball and even facing a young left, I think they can scrape something together here. Hernandez struck out 10 A's back on April 10 giving up 3 hits in 7 innings in a game won by Oakland in extra innings. 3-1 M's seems about right this afternoon. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Taking the DBACKS here. Just want to fade STL in this spot. They have won 2 of the first 3 in this game set. They locked up a winning road trip. But I think this is a rest spot for some guys as they face the Nats tomorrow at home. Wacha is sporting a tidy 2.82 ERA, but I look at a .300 BA against and a WHIP 1.43 that says regression is all but on the horizon. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Taking the WHITE SOX here. Chicago streaking with 6 straight wins and 8 of their last 10. Danks has pitched poorly, but is off is best start of the year. White Sox bats have come alive and I think they carry Danks here. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the ANGELS here. Why not go for the sweep? I like Trope. This kid is off to a nice start and Chris Young has been anything but in his first appearances of the season. The guy allowed 2 earned in 6 innings and lower his ERA from 7.90 to 6.41. Teams still hitting him at a nearly .300 clip. Tropeano has been a nice addition filling in here. A 1.69 ERA in 3 starts shows that. I would like to see him get past a 6th inning, but if he will have us in the game regardless. 4* Money Maker LAA ANGELS 

Taking the DBACKS here. Give me some Corbin. This is a talented lefty and he is healthy. The Cards just don't like a vintage model. Hey, they might be closing in on 90 wins late, but right now, I am not buying. How often did you see Wainwright as a dog? The guy is struggling big time right now. 7+ ERA, teams hitting .326 against him. 9 Ks. Give me the desert snakes. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS 

Taking the TWINS here. I will jump on their phenom rookie tonight. Short number. Tribe bats not terribly exciting. This Berrios kid had a nice start at AAA, 2-0 1.09 ERA 20Ks in 17 inning, .94 WHIP. He has been a beast in the minors and is just 21. We have seen young guys come up and be successful lately. Not much of a book on the guy so Cleveland will have to get use to him on the fly. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the RANGERS here. Had the Yanks yesterday based purely on their win streak and the Rangers losing. Well CC is not someone I will be backing at all this season. Yanks are a poor hitting team. They are sitting in last place. Lefties give them trouble. Texas gets it done here tonight. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

Taking OAKLAND here. Right off the bat we know Verlander is on the decline. Add in I am seeing stories about replacing the manager and how that isn't the answer and the Tigers have issues. Give me some Sonny Gray all day long at this price. Cashed with the A's yesterday and will look to them again tonight. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's 

Taking the ROYALS here. Weaver is one of the pitchers on my fade away list. And though he is off to a decent start, at this price, we will still go against the veteran. Royals have one of those line-ups that will make him work. Add in his poor velocity, and I think we get 3-5 runs by the 5th and that should be more than enough for Volquez who has pitched strongly this year. He is sporting a 1.46 ERA 1.09 WHIP and 22Ks in 24 innings. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS

4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

Taking the WHITE SOX here. I did lose with the total last night here. And it is now 9-3 last 12. That being said. We will back Sale here. Guy is a beast. And if the Sox are hitting, well, he is as much as a 'sure thing' as their can be right now. A .67 WHIP in his 30 innings with a .162 BA against. Maybe Dickey and his knuckler throw some hitters off. But at this price, we have to take the stud lefty. 4* Money Maker WHITE SOX

Taking the MARLINS here. This play is based on zero faith on Cain. He is one of my fade pitchers this year. And judging by 6+ ERA and 1-2 team record, it looks good so far. The oddsmakers know this as he hasn't been a significant favorite yet this year. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS 

Taking the MARINERS here. Should probably really unload on this puppy. Miley with  his 8+ ERA in a pick'em on the road. Angels always get a lot of respect based on Trout. Really. This lineup is awful. I know Seattle isn't hitting either. But I have to go with my gut when I see lines like this. When something looks to good to be true, I am running the other way with the small dog. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS. 

Taking the RANGERS here. White Sox not strong at the dish vs lefties. I look for Texas to scrape a couple of Latos who is due for a little regression. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS 

Taking OAKLAND here. Jays another bunch that has a tough time vs lefties. Surkamp hasn't been great, but gets the job done. I do like the Toronto lineup over the A's. That isn't even debatable. But they are shuffling pitchers around this early in the season. Not a good recipe in my eyes. I will grab the big dog here. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

Taking HOUSTON here. You know we just say no to Buchholz on the road. Already with an 11+ ERA in his lone road start giving up 5 runs in 4 innings and a .333 BA against. He is a notoriously slow starter. Sox already 0-3 in his first 3 starts and if we add last April and May to that he sits at a tidy 2-11. Friers hasn't been anything good lately, and that can be said about the entire Astros team. But I look for the bats to come alive here, and Friers to have a solid showing. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the TIGERS here. I do like Kluber. But he has pitched poorly so far this year. Couple that with his terrible numbers vs Detroit (2-6 in 13 games (12 starts) 1-5 last 3 years) with a 5.29 ERA at Comerica, and we like the home team here. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS 

Taking the ORIOLES here. Give me this lineup vs Chris Young. He has an ERA approaching 8 and really, what do you think it will be by September. High 4s? This is a guy who will get rocked by what the Orioles trot into the batters box all night. The over could be in site, but I think Gallardo gives us a nice outing tonight and Baltimore wins this 5-2. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking the REDS here. I would have been on these guys just losing 16-0. Add in the no-no and I want to be like Stu Feiner and WAVE THE RATING! Ok, all jokes aside. In any sport, I am going to play on a team that is off an embarrassing loss. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI REDS 

Taking the RAYS here. Give me some Matt Moore. Clearly improving after returning last year. People forget this guy went 17-4 in 2013 and had Tommy John surgery. He looks pretty recovered to me sporting a .98 WHIP. Yanks really on some older guys for pop. They won't be able to catch up here. And let's just forget CC's fast start.

Taking the WHITE SOX here. We were ambushed last night by the Angels, but that is why I think we get a bounce back performance here from Chicago. Latos has been solid so far. I think that he hasn't been healthy in some time which contributed to his poor pitching in the past. And I will be honest by saying I have always liked him going back to his Padres and then Reds days. The guy is a totally different pitcher right now. And I have said before that I think this Angels team is looking at a sub 500 season. White Sox bats break out tonight. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX 

Taking the WHITE SOX here. Have to say, I was down on the Angels and high on Chicago to start with their posted win totals. I like Rodon. Last year he had a 1.20 ERA vs Halos in 2 starts. In his two road starts this season, all he has done is K 12 in 13 innings with a 1.38 ERA. I think CWS gets to Santiago and we see a nice 4-1 win tonight. On a side note, I have been keeping on an eye on White Sox totals and the strong pitching and spotty bats have contributed to a nice Under run. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the RANGERS here. I really want to lay the runs and come back +160 with Texas. Just have a feeling that Gallardo explodes vs his old team tonight. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS
