Boston at Chicago

Chicago +162

Nice value on the home team as they won 5-4 on Monday and are 13-10 at home while Boston is 10-13 on the road. Former White Sox pitcher Chris Sale starts for Boston and Chicago is 11-5 vs. lefties and #1 in slugging in American League action vs. LHP's. 

Pedroia is out for Boston and so is Pablo Sandoval. Chicago is 12-9 at home. They start Jose Quintana who gave up 8 runs at Arizona but before that allowed 1, 3, 4, 0 and 1. He is 3-0 with a 2.87 ERA vs. Boston and has 60 strikeouts in 61 innings this year. Sale is very good but has cooled down after a fast start. 

Hopefully, we see veterans like Todd Frazier (only .181), Melky Cabrera and Abreu step up as well as Garcia (.326) and Sanchez (.305). Boston may bounce back behind Sale but plenty of value on the White Sox at +162.

10* SF Giants -105

Matt Cain is 3-1 with an ERA below 2 at home. We won with him last week at home vs. the Dodgers. SF is above .500 at home and the Braves must trek cross country to play out in California. 

Atlanta 3

SF  Giants 5

10* PIT -116

Colon has struggled with an ERA over 6 while Ivan Nova is a big righthander who has 33 K's to go with just 4 walks. I think the Pirates win 5-3.

10* St Louis +142

St Louis is around +130 to +142. They lost last night but are 9-1 in their last 10 road games. Mike Leak's ERA is just above 2 and he has allowed 3 runs or less in most starts.LA's Rich Hill has had blister issues.

10* under 8

KC has been involved in 14 overs and 25 unders this year. Vargas of KC was hit hard last game but has an ERA of 2,03 while Michael Pineda of the Yankees has an ERA of 3.42. I think we see a game in the 5-2 or 4-3 range. Take under 8.

10* Baltimore -117

I expect the Orioles to bounce back after a bad road trip to Kansas City and Detroit. Chris Tillman was on the DL and should pitch well after a decent start last time out. Toronto has played better lately but must go on the road and face Adam Jones, Machado and Chris Davis.

O's win 5-3.

10* under 7.5

Odirizzi for TB has pitched 8 unders in the last 9, Vargas has 13 unders in 14 startsand home umpire has 20 unders/8overs last 28 behind the plate. Look for an under on Thursday.

10* Baltimore +160

Nice value on the Orioles who won the first two games and came back to win down 4-1 last night. Wade Miley actually has a lower ERA that Strausburg. The Orioles have a better bullpen and manager as well.

10* Nationals -1.5

I expect Washington to bounce back in this rivalry as Ubaldo Jiminez is decent but should allow plenty of runs facing Trae Turner, Rendon, Zimmerman, Werth and their stud right fielder (Bryce Harper) who hit a homer in game one.

Look for a 5-2 win.

10* over 7.5

San Francisco starts Matt Moore and he is 0-3 with an ERA of 10.03 in recent starts. Degrom goes for the Mets and his ERA is 5.60 in his last 3. The Mets have shown they can score as well as allow runs in their recent OVER streak and were 20-6 (o/u) before Sunday.

Miami at NY Mets

10* over 8.5

The Mets have 9 overs and a push in their last 10 games. These two have combined for 34 overs and just 17 unders this year. The Mets have gone over 19-4-3 in their last 26 overall and when playing in NY the over have produced 8-3-1 in the past 12. Miami has gone over 17-5-4 in their last 26 vs. a right handed pitcher. I look for plenty of runs again on Saturday.

10* over 9

The Mets have scored 30 runs in their last 3 games and face Miami's Tom Koehler, who has an ERA of 7+. I think we see 10 or more runs as the Mets start Montero and he has struggled inlimited action.Play the over on Friday.

10* Toronto -102

The Blue Jays start Marcus Stroman and he is from Long Island and will be motivated to play well. CC Sabathia has struggled lately and seen his ERA go up to 4.34. The Yankees are playing well but the Blue Jays have the better pitcher on the mound.

Toronto wins 5-4.

10* KC Royals -110

KC ended a 9 game losing streak in their 6-1 win last night and should have some confidence. 

Danny Duffy has good stuff and his ERA is below 2 at home. Jose Quintana is a solid pitcher but his ERA is over 7 so far. I think we see the Royals win on Tuesday.

Chicago 3

KC   5

10* Chi Whie Sox +161

Most have this around +155. CWS are 7-5 on the road and won 3 at home vs. KC recently and outscored the Royals 27-8. Vargas lost one of those games (5 innings, 7 hits, 3 ER) and he starts at home. KC has lost 9 in a row and is 7-17. The White Sox are 13-10 and have plenty of value at +161.

10* over 9

25 and 16 runs have been scored in the first two games. NYY has 16 overs and 6 unders this year. Wade Miley has pitched well but the ball has been carrying well at Yankee Stadium and the O's have some solid bats in Trumbo, Machado and Chris Davis. I hope for 10 runs.

10* over 9

Zack Davies has pitched 4 overs and 0 unders. These two played a very high scoring game on Monday. Ryan Braun of the Brewers and Joey Votto are key players for each. I hope to see 10+ runs on Tuesday.

10* Orioles +110

It isn't often that you get the Orioles as home underdogs. TB starter Chris Archer has solid stuff and Evan Longoria leads the Ray's attack but Ubaldo Jiminez seems to fins a way to win. Chris Davis, Manny Machado and Adam Jones are key hitters for the Orioles.

Tampa Bay 3

Baltimore 4

10* Arizona +128

The D-Backs are 6-1 at home and face the Dodgers without their ace (Kershaw) and just won two in LA. I look for Paul Goldschmidt to play well.

Boston at Toronto

7pm

10* under 8.5

Marcus Stroman has pitched 9 unders in a row and the Blue Jays are last in the majors in runs scored. Boston has unders 20-8-2 in its last 30 overall games and Toronto has unders in 16 of the last 21 home games. Hopefully we see 8 runs or less on Tuesday night.

10* over 9.5

I like the over in this early start in Boston. Red Sox pitcher Stephen Wright has an ERA close to 13.00. Boston has some solid bats as well, led by Mookie Betts and Dustin Pedroia. I hope we see 10 or more runs in this Patriot's Game.

10* under 7.5

Taking the under with Chris Sale and Justin Verlander pitching on getaway day, an afternoon game after these two played 3 games since Friday. I hope to see 7 runs or less.

10* Orioles -124

The Yankees have several players out like Gary Sanchez and SS Digrerious.

The O's have solid players like Machado, Adam Jones and Chris Davis. They face veteran CC Sabathia.

10* over 7

Bumgarner starts for the Giants and he hit 2 homers in his first start. He may slow down the Padres but the bullpen struggled last year. The Giants should be able to score runs off Chacin was was hammered by the Dodgers. I think we see 8 or more scored on Saturday.

10* Detroit -116

I like the Tigers at home with Michael Fulmer on the mound. Boston travels on the road and uses knuckleballer Steven Wright.

Boston 3

Detroit 4

10* Toronto -111

Happ was 20-4 last year for Toronto. The Orioles won game one 3-2 but I like the pitching matchup for the visitors.

Toronto win 4-2.

10* Cubs -112

Kluber has been tough for the Indians but I think Chicago has the momentum and will win behind Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, Baez, etc. The DH seems to favor the Cubs with Schwarber.

Chicago 5

Cleveland 3

10* Chicago -152

The Cubs are down 3-2 in games and have Jake Arrieta on the mound. They should feed off the win at home in game 5and off of the energy from the Chicago Bears win last night in football as they beat the Vikings.

Cubs win 4-2.

10* Cubs -128

The Cubs are down 2-1 and I like them to bounce back with Lackey. They have seen Kluber before and should be prepared. They did better vs. Kershaw when they played LA the second time at home.

Cubs win 4-2.

10* Cubs -107

I like the Cubs led by Jon Lester on the mound. He was great with Boston and will slow down the Indians. Rizzo, Addison Russell and Baez should lead the way as well as their relievers.

Cubs win 3-2

10* SF Giants -126

The Giants are down 2-0 after playing in Chicago and now play out in San Francisco. The Giants use Madison Bumgarner and he is a great postseason pitcher.

10* Boston -137

I like the Red Sox with Rick Porcello and his 22 wins. Dustin Pedroia and Big Papi should be offensive catalysts.

Red Sox win 3-2.

10* under 6 runs

Both pitchers have great stuff. I think we see a 3-2 type of game that stays under.

10* under 8.5

Orioles has 2 overs/8 unders last 10 while Toronto has 1 over/9 unders.  Both starters have 0 overs and 3 unders in past 3 games. Tillman with 9 overs and 21 unders this year. Blue Jays with 19 unders in last 27 games. I hope to see a low scoring game with no homers.

10* under 9 runs

The O's have 10 unders in a row and 65 overs to go with 90 unders this year. Pineda of NYY has an ERA of 0.90 in his last 3 and these two starters played a 5-0 game back in July.

10* under 9

These two played a 3-2 game last night. O's have played under 9 runs in 10 straight games and these two have combined to play 128 overs and 176 unders. The starters have ERA's of 2.79 and 2.37 in their last 3 starts and both are in the hunt for the AL Wild Card. I like the underpn Thursday night.

10* NYM -117

The Mets won in a blowout last night and they have the favorable pitcher going tonight.

NY Mets win 5-3.

10* Houston -122

The Astros are 20-11 when Colin McHugh starts for them. He is 3-0 with an ERA of 1.53 in recent starts. 

Seattle 2

Houston 4

Boston at Baltimore

7pm

10* under 9 runs

Gausman starts for the Orioles and his ERA is 1.35 in his last 3 while the Boston hurler's ERA is 3.31 in his last few starts. These two have combined for 13 overs and 31 unders and they played an under on Monday.

10* under 9

Ilike the under with solid pitchers Bundy facing 20 game winner Porcello.

I think we see 6 to 8 runs.

baseball

New York at Boston 

Sunday

5* New York Yankees +164

Small play on the Yankees as their pitcher CC Sabathia is 2-1 with an ERA of just 2.20 in his last 3 starts while Boston's Drew Pomerantz's ERA is 6.28 and he is 0-3 in recent starts. Nice value on the Yankees Sunday afternoon. 

10* NYY +108

I like the Yankees at home vs. the Dodgers as the Yankees lost at home to TB to break a winning streak. I expect them to bounce back in a meeting of young pitchers facing each other. It is De Leon vs. Mitchell. New York is still in the playoff race and needs this win.

NYY wins 4-3.

10* under 8.5

The O's have 38 unders and just 18 overs in their last56 games and their starter has 8 overs/17 unders. Gausman has allowed 0 runs in his last 3 while Michael Fulmer of Detroit has been great as well. I think it ends 4-3 so take the under.

10* TB -125

The Rays gowith Jake Odorizzi and he is 3-0 with a 2.37 ERA in his last 3 while Gallardo is 0-3 with an 8.16 ERA. The O's won yesterday but are just 31-37 on the road while 45-25 at home.

I look for Morrison and Evan Longoria to play well.

O's  3

TB  5

10* KC -140

Kennedy has won his last 7 starts while Berios has an ERA around 9.24. KC is 11-2 vs. the Twins this year.

10* Cincy +130

The Reds have played well lately and Dan Straley has been solid as the team is 16-8 with him and he is 3-0 with an ERA of2.08 in his last 3 starts.Nice value on the Reds Monday.

10* KC +145

We had a nice winner on KC last night as the Royals won at +133 and are 10-1 in their last 11. Nice value on the road team that is hot and led by Cain, Alex Gordon and Hosmer.

10* Kansas City +142

I have seen +130 to +142 on the Royals who are 9-1 in their last 10 and off a loss at Miami to Jose Fernandez and scoring 0 runs. Knuckleballer Stephen Wright has been great this season but cold lately with an ERA of 5.30 in his last 3 starts while Kennedy is 3-0 with a low 0.86 ERA. Nice value on the Royals.

10* Orioles +210

Baltimore has played well in the past few years against Washington. They are on the road and face Max Scherzer but nice value getting Machado, Chris Davis and Adam Jones at +210.

5* KC +238

We won last night with KC and they held on for a 1-0 victory. On Wednesday there is nice value with the Royals as they have won 9 in a rowbut have to face Jose Fernandez, who is great at home but can struggle on the road. He is 0-3 with an ERA of 5.06. The Royals won the World Series last year and have solid players like Lorenzo Cain, Alex Gordan and Hosmer. Nice value on the underdog.

10* KC

The KC Royals have won 8 in a row and play at Miamion Tuesday. Miami is a solid team at home but is playing without Stanton due to injury. KC uses Ventura and he is 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA in his last 3 while Miami's Andrew Cashner is 0-3 with a 7.20 ERA. Playing the hot team on Tuesday at -105.

10* under 9 runs

These two played a 4-0 game yesterday with the Dodgers winning. I think the early start will help this stay under. I think we see a fast game with LA ready to leave Cincinnati and start another series. I think we see a 4-3 type of game.

LA at Cincinnati

1:10pm Sunday

10* (#902) Reds +120

The Reds have won 5 in a row at home and outscored their opponents (Miami, LA) 34-12. Urias starts for LA and he was used in relief in his last outing. In his last 3 appearances his ERA is 5.11 with a 1.62 WHIP. The Reds are 8-5 when Desclafino starts and his ERA is 3.10. The Reds are a hot team at home as Adam Duvall and Peraza did well last night. Votto and Phillips remain hot. Nice value on Cincinnati at +120.

LA at Cincinnati

10* Cincy +142

Nice value on the home team at +142. The Reds won last night but had lost the previous 9 games to the Dodgers. Cincinnati has won 4 in a row, 7-3 in their last 10 and 20-12 since the All-Star break. LA pitches Anderson who left his last start with an injury and dating back to last year has allowed 5, 6, 2, 6 and 5 runs in his last five starts. The Reds are led by Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips. My suggestion is to play the hot team at home.

10* Orioles -133

I like the O's with Chris Tillman as Baltimore is 40-19 at home (this is written before Friday's game) and Tillman has 8 overs and 17 unders.I was looking at an under but Fiers of Houston has an ERA of 6.32 in his last 3 starts. Baltimore is led by Manny Machado, Chris Davis, Jonathan Schoop and Adam Jones.

I think the Orioles win 5-3.

Minnesota at Kansas City

8:15pm

10* (#926) KC -125

KC has won their last 4 games and have allowed just one run in those 4 wins. They beat Minnesota 8-1 last night. Alex Gordon hit a grand slam and the team is getting solid pitching and moved to 61-60 (above .500). The two pitchers have high ERA's but the Twins use Berrios, who has a 9.32 ERA and the team is just 2-5 in his starts.

Nice value on the home team that won the World Series last year.

Miami at Cincinnati

7pm

10* Cincinnati +156

Nice value on the Reds at home at +156 as they start Dan Straily and the team is 14-8 in his starts. He is 3-0 with an ERA of 3.12 in his last 3 starts and he has allowed just 2, 2, 2, 1 2 and 0 runs in recent starts.

Jose Fernandezis a great pitcher but is 0-3 with a 4.76 in his last 3 starts.

Cincy has some decent offensive players like Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips and Zack Cosart.

Kansas City at Detroit

7pm

10* (#919) KC +115

Kansas City won last night and is 60-60. Detroit was without Miguel Cabrera on Tuesday and lost 6-1. He could play on Wednesday. KC's starter Ventura is 3-0 (2.89 ERA) and is 6-0 vs. Detroit. The Tigers are just 2-7 in their last 9.

KC won the World Series last year and Hosmer, Cain, Perez, Escobar and Alex Gordon are solid players. Orlando is hitting .326 and Raul Mondesi hit his first homer last night.

Sanchez has a 6.31 ERA and the team is just 4-15 in his starts.

Nice value on Kansas City at +115 on Wednesday

10* Houston -143

Dallas Keuchel has allowed 0, 2, 1 and 2 runs in his last 4 home starts. I like Houston to win 4-2.

KC at Detroit

7pm

10* under 7

It is a low total for the American League but Verlander and Duffy have combined for 14 overs and 25 unders and are 0-6 in their last 3. I think we see a 3-2 type of game for an under.

10* Seattle

The M's use Felix Hernandez and the team is 9-6 in his starts and his ERA is 3.14 in his last 3 while Nolasco's team is 9-14 when he pitches and his ERA is 5.14.

Seattle wins 5-3.

5* Colorado +168

Washington is a good team but they must travel to Colorado for this series and Max Scherzer allowed 3 homers in his last visit. Nice value on the Rockies at +168 on Monday.

10* Houston -116

The Astros are my pick behind Doug Fister as the team is 14-8 in his starts and his ERA is 3.47 while Minnesota has Berrios with an ERA of 8.31. 

Baltimore at Oakland 

3:30pm

10* under 8.5

The Orioles have played 24 unders in their last 28 games and lost 1-0 last night. Their games with Oakland ended with 1, 3 and 5 runs. Chris Tillman of the Orioles has 7 overs to go with 17 unders. I am concerned that Baltimore will score plenty of runs today but stilllike the under in this afternoon game on the west coast.

10* Detroit -107

Justin Verlander has an ERA of 2.14 and he is 3-0 in his last 3 starts. He has allowed 2 or less runs in his last 7 starts. Felix Hernandez is a solid pitcher for Seattle but his ERA is 4.74 in his last 3 and the team is just 8-6 in his starts. I think we see Miguel Cabrera and Ian Kinsler play well on Wednesday.

Det 3

Seattle 2

10* (#919) Chicago -120

Sale has an ERA of 1.64 in his last 3 and the team is 14-7 in his starts while Volquez is 0-3 with an ERA of 6.88 in his last 3 starts. I think we see the White Sox win behind Todd Frazier and Abreu.

CWS win 4-3. 

10* Miami 

Jose Fernandez did lose his last homegame vs. the Cardinals but has been great at home. Miami is 29-24 at home and faces SF with Jonny Cueto who has allowed 4, 3 , 0 and 4 runs in his last few starts. I like Stanton and Ichiro to have key hits for the Marlins on Monday vs. a good Giants team.

10* under 9.5

Bundy has an ERA of under 2 in his last 3. The Orioles have played unders in 16 of 21. I think we see a game with 7 to 9 runs and an under.

New York Mets at Detroit

7pm 

10* Detroit -127

The Tigers lost at home to Chicago 6-3 on Thursday and play the NY Mets Friday night with Justin Verlander pitching. He is 11-6 and has allowed just 2, 1, 1, 1, 2 and 1 run in recent starts. Miguel Cabrera and Ian Kinsler both hit homers on Thursday. The Tigers are now 8-1 in their last 9. The Mets play the Yankees on Thursday night and then head to Detroit. 

Chicago at Detroit

Wednesday

10* Detroit -115

The Tigers are now 30-19 at home and use Fulmer. The team is 14-2 in his starts and his ERA is 2.50. Sale is a great pitcher but is 0-3 with an ERA of 4.74 recently. Hopefully, the Tigers continue to score runs and play well behind Kinsler, Martinezand Cabrera.

CWS 3

Det 4

10* Detroit -129

The Tigers are off a sweep of Houston and outscored them by 28-8. They are 8-3 in their last 11 home games and 8-3 on Tuesdays. They play the Chicago White Sox, who are 9-23 in their last 32 road games.James Shields has pitched well lately but 5 of his last 6 starts are at home and now he has to pitch in Detroit. The Sox are 1-4 in their last 5 overall games.

Miguel Cabrera has been leading the way for Detroit. I hope he plays well on Tuesday.

10* under 8

The Yankees have been on an under tear in the last two weeks. I think we see 6 or 7 runs scored on Monday. 

#965/966

Baltimore at Toronto

1pm

10* under 8.5

These two have played overs in the first two games of the series but Tillman and Sanchez have combined for 13 overs and 29 unders. The O's have struggled to score lately as Chris Davis is hitting below .200 in his last 10 games. Tillman and Sanchez have ERA's of 3.79 and 1.42 in their last 3 starts. I hope to see 8 runs or less on Sunday.

10* Detroit

Verlander has pitched wll lately as his ERA is just 1.29 in his last 3 while Fiers has an ERA of 8.36. I think we see the Tigers win 5-3 behind Miguel Cabrera.

Baltimore at Toronto 

#965/966

7pm

10* under 9 

The Orioles lost 6-2 on Thursday and their streak of unders is now 16 in a row. Toronto is known as a high scoring team but has 41 overs to go with 56 unders. Both starters have 5 overs and 12 unders. Gausman's ERA is 2.94 in his last 3 while Estrada has an ERA of just 2.94 this season. Playing the streak until it ends.

Baltimore at Minnesota

7:10pm

#917/918

10* under 9.5

Baltimore has now played 15 unders in a row as their game ended 3-1 last night. The Orioles have been getting solid pitching (starting and relief) and failing to get key hits. It is tough to play an under in the American League since they use the designated hitter which can lead to more offense but I am playing the under streak till it loses.

10* under 9.5

The game ended 6-3 yesterday for another under. Playing the Orioles under until they play an over.  The Rockies starter has pitched well lately with an ERA under 2  and Duffy is solid for the Orioles.

Colorado at Baltimore
7pm Tuesday
10* under 9

Baltimore won 3-2 last night in extra innings and it stayed under the total easily. The Orioles have now played 13 unders in a row and start Chris Tillman, who has 7 overs and 14 unders this year. Colorado pitches Chad Bettis (Bet this?) and he is 3-0 with a 2.70 ERAin his last 3 starts. Tillman has a 1.29 ERA in his last 3 starts. Playing the under streak until it loses.

Rotation # 919/920

Thanks and good luck.

10* under 9.5

The O's have played 12 unders in a row. I hope to see a 5-4 game or less than that. Playing the streak to continue on Monday..........

Orioles +123

Baltimore is 35-14 at home and faces Corey Kluber, who is solid but the team is just 9-10 in his starts. Nice value on the Orioles who have Chris Davis, Wieters, Adam Jones, Machado, etc.

NY Mets at Florida

7pm

5* NY Mets +143

Jacob Degrom starts for NY and the team is 3-0 in his last 3 starts and his ERA is 1.29 while Jose Fernandez has an ERA of 3.79 in his last 3 starts. Miami is tough at home especially with Fernandez on the mound but nice value with the Mets at +143.

10* Detroit -145

The Tigers start Fullmer and he has pitched well. Jacob Turner will be on the mound for the home team and his ERA is 14.00 in limited action.

Det 4

CWS 2

Baseball

3:40pm Wednesday

Chicago White Sox at Seattle

5* Chicago +160

Chicago is 35-17 in the last 52 meetings. Seattle has Felix Hernandez pitching and he has great stuff but is just 1-2 with an ERA of 4.19 in his last 3 starts while Chicago's Gonzalez has an ERA of 2.25 in his last 3 starts. Nice value on the White Sox at +160. 

10* under 7.5

Pitching seems to dominate these games and Petco Park is better known for pitchers than hitters. I think we see a 4-3 type fo game that stays under with the solid relievers in this event.

10* Pitt +150

The Pirates are 7-1 in their last 8 after a loss yesterday but play a tired Chicago team that is limping to the break and Arrieta has struggled recently. The Cubs lost in extra innings last night at Atlanta. Nice value on the home team with Liriano.

Pittsburgh at St Louis

8pm

10* Pittsburgh +143

The Pirates won last night and have 6 wins in a row. Andrew McCutcheon and David Freese and Josh Harrison are playing well. Starter Jeff Locke is 3-0 in his last 3 starts. St Louis is just 18-24 at home and has a much better record on the road. Nice value on the hot team that is playing well.

10* over 9.5

Sabathia and Shields have combined for ERA's near 6 and 8 in their last 3 starts. CC Sabathia is almost 36 and has pitched well except for his last two starts and Shields has given up 36 hits in his 20 innings. I think we see 10 runs today.

Cleveland at Toronto

1pm

10* Cleveland +122

Cleveland has won 13 in a row and outscored teams 80-24. Toronto has a solid team but the Indians have been playing great and start Josh Timlin, who is 9-1 with a 3.35 ERA. 

Cincinnati

at Washington

7pm Thursday

10* Cincinnati +173

Washington is a good team and playing at home but their pitcher (Gio Gonzalez) is 0-3 with an ERA of 8.59 in his last 3 starts. The Reds have won 7 of the last 9 meetings. Nice value on the visitors.

10* over 7.5

These two scored double digits in the opener on Monday. Archer has good stuff but has been hit hard by Boston in the past. Betts, Pedroia and Big Papi along with Boegarts are solid on offense for the Red Sox.

baseball

Cleveland at Atlanta

7pm

10* (#965) Cleveland -1.5 (-105)

Cleveland is hot as they have won 9 in a row. They just won 9-3, 6-0 and 7-4 at Detroit and now face Atlanta. 8 of the Indians 9 wins have been by 2 or more runs. Let's play a hot team and hope they can continue to score runs and feed off the energy from the NBA team winning the title last week.

10* over 9

Minnesota has 17 overs, 1 under and a push in its last 19 games and one of the best over teams this year with 46 overs and just 23 unders. It has seen overs 39-11-3 in its last 53. The two starters (Pineda and Santana) have combined for 15 overs and 8 unders and 8 of the last 10 meetings have seen the over profit.

Mark Texeira is supposed to return today for the Yankees. Hopefully, he can help provide some offense and we see a game with 10 or more runs in this afternoon start.

Chicago White Sox/Boston 

10* under 9.5 (7pm)

Quintana starts for Chicago and he has 1 over and 13 unders. It does concern me thay Rodriguez for the Red Sox has an ERA of 8.59 in his last 3 starts. These two played a 3-1 game on Tuesday.

TB at Cleveland 

7pm

10* Cleveland -120

I like the Indians at home to feed off the energy of the Cavaliers winning last night. The Indians have won 8 in a row at home and starter Tomlin has an ERA of 3.27 and the team is 10-2 when he starts. Smyly has an ERA of 8.04 in his last 3 and the team is 6-7 when he pitches.

TB is 1-7 in the last 8 at Cleveland and the Indians are 20-12 at home.

Detroit vs.Chicago White Sox

10* over 8.5

These two played a high scoring game last night and scored 11 runs when these two pitchers faced each other recently. Sale has good stuff but his ERA is over 5 in his last 3 starts and he has 9 overs and just 3 unders while the Tigers have one of the best ratios of overs to unders.

10* Cubs +135

Max Scherzer is a good pitcher for the Nationals. The Cubs have nice value on the road as they are 20-10 away from Wrigley Field. Scherzer struck out 20 batters in one game this year but can be hit and allows home runs.

10* Carrasco  team starts at 5-0 this year and his ERA in the last 3 is 2.57 while Walker is at 0-3 with an ERA of 6.48. Seattle is 19-11 on the road and just 13-15 at home. Cleveland is 27-11 on Wednesdays.

10* Texas -101

Texas is 7-0 vs. Houston this year and 22-9 at home and Cole Hamels has pitched well vs. the Astros. Houston uses Dallas Keuchel, who won the Cy Young last year but has pitched poorly overall, excecpt his last 2 starts have been solid.

Look for Texas to win a close one.

10* Boston -131

The Red Sox are 18-10 at home and have a solid offense led by Dustin Pedroia and Jackie Bradley, Bogarts and David Ortiz. Stroman goes for Toronto and his ERA is just 7.23 in his last 3 starts. I like the home team on Saturday.

New York Yankees at Toronto

7pm

10* NYY +139

CC Sabathia has pitched well lately as his ERA is just 0.45 in his last 3 starts while Happ's ERA is 6.61 in that span. The Blue Jays are just 12-14 at home and 3-8 on Tuesdays. NY is 7-2 in their last 9 road games. Nice value on the Yankees at +139 on Tuesday.
