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	Nationals v. Cubs +141		7-5	Loss	-100	34 h 22 m	Show
4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS
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	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)

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
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
07-01-23	Astros v. Rangers -118		2-5	Win	100	23 h 33 m	Show
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
07-01-23	Yankees -120 v. Cardinals		4-11	Loss	-120	21 h 3 m	Show
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
07-01-23	Padres v. Reds +140		12-5	Loss	-100	21 h 30 m	Show
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
06-30-23	Twins v. Orioles -107		8-1	Loss	-107	24 h 7 m	Show
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

06-30-23	Red Sox v. Blue Jays -138		5-0	Loss	-138	23 h 35 m	Show
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
06-30-23	Nationals +151 v. Phillies		2-1	Win	151	22 h 60 m	Show
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

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
06-27-23	Padres v. Pirates +161		4-9	Win	161	25 h 9 m	Show
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
06-25-23	Nationals +175 v. Padres		8-3	Win	175	23 h 9 m	Show
Taking WASHINGTON. Yeah. This is a big hold your nose play. Coming into Saturday action the Nats had dropped 15 of their last 18 games. Yikes. But there is zero chance I am backing Lugo at this price, ML or RL. Guy has a .303 BA Against here at home. If opposing hitters are raking at a 300 clip against, sign me up. I am sure it would shock many to hear that Washington is 6th in all of MLB in team batting average. Normally not what you think of a team 20 games under .500 or however close they are to that. Nats countering with ex Padre prospect MacKenzie Gore. The young lefty has been solid all season. Obviously for him his .226 BA Against while on the road is a big factor here. Couple with the fact that San Diego cannot hit lefties for a lick. - How about a .221, 3rd worse in all of MLB. No team is ever due to win or lose - but I think we have the edge on the mound and at this price, we are firing. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS

Taking the ORIOLES. Marines coming off dropping a series to the Yanks, and now face an even tougher road opponent here in Baltimore. This team has yet to find their stride. Last year this time they were gearing up for a nice playoff run - this year, possibly dealing some pieces away in a month. If Oakland wasn't as historically bad as they are, Seattle could possibly be in last place. At this price, how do we not bet the home team? Orioles continue to win. 4th most wins in all of MLB. Am I missing something with Seattle being under .500 on the season and on the road? Orioles for me. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking MIAMI. We will again fade the Pirates. We had the Cubs, again yesterday for another win. We also had the Jays over Miami. That was after we had the Marlins in Games 1 + 2. Think I have a good feel for this Marlins bunch right now. But do we even need it? 9 straight losses and Pittsburgh has no dropped 14 of 16. So much for that fast start. The team is bad. Nothing wrong with that. They have some rebuilding to do. Mitch Keller started off great. He has been leveling off since. And on the road, well, he has walked off the level to a pit. 4 runs allowed at Milwaukee. 5 runs allowed vs Oakland. 4 runs at San Fran. 6 runs at Seattle. Sense a little road trend giving up runs here? How about his overall performance in his last 5 starts? 20 runs. Personally, I think when you have given up 4 or more in 4 of your last 5 starts we have a little problem. Coupled with the Pirates performance this month. Yeah - we take Miami. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the WHITE SOX. So you know I like my streaks. And as I write this the day before, Texas has won 3 in a row heading into this Tuesday night matchup. That being said, even if we are looking at 4 up for the Rangers, and 3 straight L's for the Sox, I have to grab Kopech as a small dog. I can't back Perez in this spot. Guy has been a total Jekyll and Hyde with his splits this season. 1.71 ERA in 5 home starts. Totally dominant. On the road. He is Charlie Hough pitching at 64! 6.50 ERA in 9 starts. Opposing hitters raking a ridiculous .330 against him! 11 HRs allowed. A 1.80 WHIP. I know the Sox are in a little free for all, but I'll take them here. Kopech finally turning the corner and living up to the 1st round pick status. Last 7 games, dealing - 2.01 ERA .99 WHIP 53 Strikeouts in 40 innings. I like it. Honestly. If we go back to May - 9 starts. He has lowered his from a 7.01 to 3.92. That is what 14 runs in 52 innings looks likes. 2 of less runs allowed in 7 of those 9 starts. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Taking the CUBBIES, again. I don't know the outcome of the Tuesday night, but, honestly - it doesn't matter. Pirates could easily be on a 9 game losing streak. Even if they manage a win, what is that, a 3-12 run their last 15. No thanks. Pirates sinking fast. Kyle Hendricks has made 5 starts and has been decent. Not going to complain about a 2.86 ERA 1.02 WHIP and 217 BA Against. Again. Against Pitt? Chicago winners of 6 of 7 with their ace on the hill last night. I like our chances again. Two teams going in opposite directions. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS

Taking the ORIOLES, again. Had them last night, will do it again this afternoon. Yep. Rays great at home. A true juggernaut. But let's not discount Baltimore. (heading into Tuesday night) These guys we tied for most road wins in all of MLB. Wells has been pitching pretty good lately - a .96 WHIP and 206 BA Against in his 3 June starts. We can lower it a bit more if we add his last May start 6 inning 4 hits 1 run. For me though. Let's fade a little Taj Bradley. I like the youngster. But for whatever reason, the kid gets mauled here at home. 4 starts 15 runs (14 ERs) in 17.2 innings of work - allowing opposing hitters to connect at a .301 clip isn't a good look when you come in listed as a 150 favorite. Give me the O's. 4* Money Maker BALTMORE ORIOLES

Taking the METS. Thought about RL -130 here, but I will stick with Senga on the ML. Guy has been more than solid at home. 6 starts 1.93 ERA .158 BAA and a decent 1.13 WHIP. Would be even better but the Jays tagged him for 4 runs in 2.2 innings on 4 hits. Otherwise, the guy is 6 innings an a run. Plus. Wainwright. Guy probably should have hung it up last year. Ineffective at home and on the road. 3 starts a 6.75 ERA. Opposing hitters raking .333 against him and a WHIP of 1.75. He is going to come out and give up 3/4 runs across 5 innings of work - possibly more if he doesn't get out of any jams. You put on 2 guys an inning and chances are you will give up some runs. Cards had also dropped 5 in a row coming into Friday nights game. Though Mikolas has been decent the last month or so, no guarantee the crack the win column. And even if they do, Mets have the pitching edge. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK METS

Taking the ORIOLES. Whatever happens on Wednesday (we have Baltimore like we did Tuesday), we will run it back again. We are either sitting on 6 straight wins, or we dropped a game. Either way, Tyler Wells will get us the Win. Guy has been stellar at home. A .188 BAA and .81 WHIP. Should be more than enough to counter Yusei Kikuchi. This guys has been the polar opposite of Wells on the road. A 5 ERA . Opposing hitters raking at a .287 clip, 11 HRs allowed and the O's hit lefties pretty good ranking 8th in HRs vs southpaws. As I write this, (Wed), Baltimore has the 2nd most wins in the league! This team continues to get zero respect. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE ORIOLES
