10* over 8

Graveman has an ERA of 5.84 as he was off toa nice start and then struggled. Oakland has won 5 in a row and scored 8 in its last two games led by Coco Crisp, Reddick and Valencia. The NY Yankees are led by Ellsbury, McCan, Beltran and Castro. The wind is blowing out at 15mph and that should help. Hopefully, we see 9 or more runs tonight!

10* Atlanta +138

The Braves did just go 3-3 on the road and had a nice win at the NY Mets. Arizona has lost 6 in a row and was swept at Miami. They start Zack Greinke but he has been just average this year. Atlanta gets Nick Markasis back as he left for personal reasons.

Nice value on the home underdog.

10* CWS

Chris Sale is 5-0 and has allowed 1, 0 and 0 runs in his last 3 starts. Chicago won last night by one run and should have confidence.Ubaldo Jiminez goes for the Orioles. CWS is 10-5 on the road.

CWS 4

Balt  2

10* White Sox -117

Chicago is 10-4 on the road and won last night at Toronto. Chris Sale is 4-0 and has not allowed a run in his last 2 starts with 0 walks and 12 strikeouts.

R.A. Dickey has struggled with ahigh ERA.

I think we see Chicago win 4-2.

10* St Louis +119

Garcia faces Zack Greinke in this baseball gamein Arizona. Greinke has an ERA of 5.25 but has pitched well recently but the Cardinals starter has been solid with 28 strikeouts in 20 innings.

St Louis is 12-4 on Mondays and 36-15 in the last 51 games with Arizona. Matt Carpenter and Matt Holliday should do damage in the series opener tonight!

STL 4

AZ 3

10* Red Sox +130

Take the Red Sox at +130 as they won last night and face a Houston team that is just 5-12 so far. Mookie Betts has played well for the visitors and faces Mike Filers who has struggled with plenty of men on base and has a high ERA. 

Boston starter Clay Buchholz has shown he can pitch well vs. the Astros and has good numbers during the day and this one starts at 4pm.

Boston 5

Houston 4

10* St Louis

The Cards try not to be swept in this day game vs. the Cubs. I look for Matt Holliday and Matt Carpenter to play well and St Louis to win 4-3.

NY Mets at Phil
7pm Tuesday
10* (#901) NY Mets +102

The Mets are 4-2 on the road and lost against red-hot Vincent Velasquez last week but should be motivated facing him again so soon. The Phillies have scored 3 runs or less in 7 straight games. Wright, Cespedes, Comforto, Duda, Granderson, Cabrerra, etc. should find a way to score runs on Tuesday. 

NYM 3

Phils 2

Reds/Cards over 7.5

Both have played 7 overs and just 3 unders. Cincy has hitters like Joey Votto and Jay Bruce while St Louis leads the NL in runs and led by Carpenter, Holliday, Adams and Molina. They have played games with 17, 7, 10, 11, 19 and 14 runs in recent outings. Michael Wacha starts for the Cards and he has 10 overs in his last 11 starts.

I think we see 8 or more runs on Sunday.

#923 (Cleveland) -104

I like the Indians to bounce back after losing last night. Carrasco almost pitched a no hitter last year at Tropicana Feild in Tampa. He has won 7 of his last 10 road starts and faces Drew Smyly, who had an ERA closeto 4.25vs. Clevelandwhen he pitced for Detroit.

Cleveland 4

TB 3

10* TB +117

Tampa Bay starts Matt Moore, who pitched well vs. Toronto's tough lineup earlier this year. Cleveland is the solid favorite due to Corey Kluber winning th Cy Young back in 2014 but he was average last year and has won just 3 of his last 14 starts. Even Longotia has done well vs. the Indians in the past. Take TB to win on Tuesday.

Cleve 3

TB 4

5* Orioles +181

Baltimore played well at home last week and now head to Boston. Chris Davis and Manny Machado could get hot and are nice value at +181.

O's 4

Sox 3

10* over 8

These two scored 18 on Thursday as Hunter Pence hit a homer and almost everyone for both team were in on the action. Posey may sit out but I think the Giants score since the Dodgers are using a rookie pitcher.

10* SF Giants-113

Take the home team on Thursday.

LA 2

SF 3

10* NY Mets

The Mets should be confident after a key win at home 9-3 and facing 6'10" Chris Young, who they saw for 3 innings earlier. Daniel Murphy has yet to get hot.

10* NYM

The Mets led 3-1 and then 4-3 but ended up losing 5-4 in a great game towatch unless you had the Mets to win. Cueto vs. Jacob deGrom favors the New Yorkers, who hope to make it 1-1 moving back to the Big Apple. Daniel Murphy proved to be human without a home run. Maybe Michael Cuddyer can step up after 3 strikeouts on Tuesday.

Mets win 4-3.

10* KC +138

I like the Royals as they won easily in 3 of the 4 games. Edison Volquez pitched well at home and won 5-0. Led by a strong offensive attack that can hit with power as well as run the bases with speed. Estrada, Ben Zobrist, Lorenzen Cain and the rest of the lineup made it to the World Series last year but lost in Game Seven so they know how to win. 

Some members of Toronto haven't hit well in this series. Jose Bautista is one Blue Jay that needs to step up. Toronto even used a regular player to pitch yesterday.

LA at NY Mets

10* New York Mets +145

I like the Mets as home underdogs of +138. Kershaw starts for the visitors on just 3 days rest. He is just 1-6 in the postseason and allowed 2 homers in the game one loss. Hopefully, Cespedes, David Wright, Daniel Murphy.etc. continue to play well. It does concern me that the Dodgers are down 2-1 in games and will be eliminated with a loss but nice value on the home team.

10* KC +125

KC just lost yesterday at Houston and faced their ace (Dallas Keuchel). I think they bounce back behind Lorenzo Cain and company and win a close one. They are the defending AL champions.

KC 4

Houston 3

10* Toronto -1.5 runs

I think we see Toronto win by 2 or more runs. They led the majors in runs and are good at home, hitting for average and power. They are led by Josh Donaldson (probable MVP, Juan Encarnacion and Jose Bautista. Pitcher David Price has playoff experience and can mow down hitters with his stuff. Texas is a decent team but I think we see a game in the 5-2 range.

Texas 2

Toronto 5

10* Texas -1.5 runs

10* Chicago Cubs

This should be a great game but hard to go against Jake Arietta of the Cubs. His ERA has been under 1 in the last 7 starts. The Pirates are at home and have been solid this year but I like the Cubs to win 3-2.

Houston at NY Yankees

8pm Tuesday

10* Houston -111

I like Houston as Dallas Keuchel is 20-8 with an era of 2.48. He was much better at home but has to play in New York. The Yankees struggled late in the year and their starter (Tanaka) is in the playoffs for the first time and has been injured lately and has just one start in the last 3 weeks. Hopefully, Jose Altude, Correa, Springer, etc.step up in this wildcard game.

10* Houston has won the first two games 21-5 and 6-2 as they are getting good pitching and hitting. Altuve, Correa, Springer and Rasmus have all been hot. De la Rosa starts for the D-Backs and he has done well overall but the team is 5 games under .500 in his starts. Houston needs this game to possible make the wild card. I like the Astros to win 5-3.

10* Houston -145

10* Houston

Houston is battling for the wild card spot and won last night 21-5. They are a solid home run hitting team. They get power from all positions and 2nd baseman Jose Altuve may be the best at his position. Colin McHugh starts and he faces journeyman Jeremy Hellickson. The ball travels well in Arizona as we saw last night.

I think we see the Astros win 7-4. I like Houston as big favorites as they have been hot and averaging 8.5 runs per game in their last 6 games.

10* over 7.5These two have combined to play overs 16-3-1 on Fridays. San Deigo has 91 overs and just 61 unders this year, one of the best over percentages. Casey Kelly starts for the Padres and he has an ERA of 9 in limited action and Alex Wood goes fort the Dodgers. It does concern me that Upton may miss of San Diego but I hope to see 8+ runs.

10* Texas -125

The Rangers return home after losing two in a row at Houston, as both losses were by two runs. They do face Justin Verlander but I think we see Beltre, Shin Choo, Prince Fielder and others step up as they are in the AL pennant race.

10* under 8

Teams have combined to go under 17-4-3 in their last few games on Thursdays, typical getaway day. Hamels allowed 0 walks and 12 K's last game while Bassitt has allowed just one run in each of his last two home starts.

Texas has been hot lately but hopefully, we see a 4-2 type of game.

10* over 7 runs

San Diego has played 88 overs and just 56 unders, the best over ratio in baseball. Cashner has 16 overs and 11 unders and his ERA is 5.03 in his last 3 starts. Peavy has pitched well for the Giants but the Padres have been hitting the ball well lately.

I think we see 7 or more runs. Hopefully, more that 7 so we don't get a push.

10* Pitt

Visitors won 9-3 on Monday and hope to get a wild card spot. Team is 6-2 when Happ starts and allowed 2 runs or less.

Rusin has ERA of 5.11.

Pitt wins 6-3.

Boston +111

The Red Sox are just 1/2 game back of the TB Rays and have won 4 in a row at home and 14-8 last 22. Rodriguez has been solid and is 2-1 with an ERA of 1.67 in hius last 3 while Archer's ERA is close to 4 in that span and he has a high ratio of walks lately.

I think it will be motivating to get out of the cellar tonight and maybe even passing the Orioles.

TB 2

Boston 4

10* Cleveland +137

Chris Sale is 0-3 with an ERA of 7.16 in his last 3 starts. The team is 15-13 when he pitches this year. Anderson is 2-1 in his last 3 starts and his ERA is 1.93. The home underdog seems to have nice value on Friday.

Colorado vs. San Diego

10pm Tuesday

10* over 7.5 (+100)

The Padres have played 79 overs and just 53 unders this year. These two played a 6-4 game last night that went over. The pitchers are Gray (5-1 o/u with an ERA of 11.13 in his last 3) and Rea (4-1 o/u with a 6.43 ERA in his last 3). Blackmon, Arenado, Gonzalez and Morneau are solid hitters for the Rockies while San Diego has Matt Kemp and Upton.

10* over 7.5

There are some 7's out there. Scherzer has pitched well but the team is just 11-11 in his starts and he hasn't won but 2 of his last 10 starts and they were by one run. 

The Mets should be able to score a few runs with their lineup of David Wright and Murphy. Washington has been red hot and needs a win to stay in the race. Rendon, Zimmerman, Desmond and Bryce Harper have been very hot.

Jon Niese has an ERA of close to 10 in his last 3 starts. I like our chances for an over in this early game on Labor Day.

10* Washington -1.5 

I think Washington continues to win big with offense as they beat Atlanta 8-2 yesterday.

Atl 3

Wash 6

10* Washington -1.5 runs

   Washington at St. Louis
10* St Louis -112

Scherzer starts for the visitors and the team is just 13-13 in his starts. He is 0-3 in his last 3 starts with an ERA of 7.31 allowing 4, 4, 6, 4 and 3 runs in his last five and giving up 7 homers in his last 4 outings. The Nationals are just 29-38 on the road.

St. Louis is 47-19 at home. Michael Wacha has allowed only 0, 1, 1, 2, 0 and 0 runs in his last six starts. The team is 19-6 when he pitches and his ERA is 0.95 in his last 3. Hopefully, the Cardinals continue to find ways to win at home in front of their fans.

Monday

baseball
Cleveland at Toronto
7pm
5* Toronto -1.5 runs

David Price has been great so far after coming over from Detroit and he loves pitching in Toronto. Encarnacion has been hitting the ball well as he hits for average and power and Troy Tulowitzi has been solid coming from Coloradol. Hope to see a 5-2 type of score.

10* over 7

The Mets have played overs in 10 of 11 while Boston has overs in 22-5-2. Cespedes, Wright and Cuddyer have been solid for the home team while Sandoval, Betts, Ortiz and Bradley are good hitters for the Red Sox.

New York Mets at Philadelphia

#955/956
7pm Thursday
10* over 8.5 runs

The Mets/Phils have gone over the total the last few nights and I hope they continue to score runs. Niese has an ERA of 5.89 in his last 3 starts while Harang has an ERA at 8.47. The Mets have played overs in 9 of their last 10 while the Phils have 26 overs, 6 unders and 4 pushes in their last 36 at home. Also, in the last 80 meetings we have seen 54 overs, 21 unders and 5 pushes.

Granderson, Cespedis, Cuddyer, Murphy, Flores and Conforto have been hot for the Mets while Ryan Howard, Herrera and Rupp have been hot for the home team.

The Mets scored 9 by themselves last night.

10* over 8.5

 NY Mets at Phillies
Wednesday
10* over 8.5

These two went over in the first two meetings. Phillies have played 25 overs, 6 unders, 5 pushes in the last 36 home games and their meetings with the Mets have 53 overs, 21 unders and 5 pushes in the last 79 meetings. Bartolo Colon has allowed 7, 4, 1 and 7 runs in his last 4 road starts and he has allowed 171 hits in 145 innings. Philadelphia starts Eichoff, who doesn't have much experience. Hopefully, both can score as they have in the previous meetings.

10* over 8

Hopefully, these two have some runs left in them. NY has scored 14, 14, 5 and 13 (as I write this on Monday). Flores, Cespedes and David Wright were key hitters in the opener at Philadelphia but it seems everyone got into the action.

The Phils scored 7 and led 7-2 before falling apart. Jerome Williams has allowed 141 hits in 100 innings and his ERA is 6.14 in his last 3 while Noah Snydgaard of the Mets has an ERA of 6.19 in recent starts. The Phils have 66 overs and just 49 unders this season and the last 78 meetings have seen 52 overs, 21 unders, 5 pushes. 

Maybe the Mets can reach the over all by themselves on Tuesday.

10* over 8 runs

 Colorado at Atlanta

#903/904

7pm

10* Atlanta -119

Colorado is off 3 bad home losses to the Mets and they didn't even use Jacob DeGrom. Colorado used up their bullpen and now must travel east a few time zones. The Rockies are without SS Troy Tulowitzi, who is now with Toronto. Atlanta is 8 games over .500 at home and starts Teheran, who has solid numbers, especially in his home ballpark. I think we see the Braves win 5-3.

Colorado 3

Atlanta 5

10* Atlanta -120

10* (#973) Tampa Bay -122

Odirizzi starts for the visitors who won a nice comeback victory after being down 4-2 on Saturday. The Rays are just 10-10 in his starts for his ERA is a solid 3.02. The A;s counter with Graveman who has an ERA of 7.24 in his last 3. Take the team that is still in the playoff hunt.

TB 4

A's 3

10* over 8

Both teams are hitting the ball well lately and the pitchers are giving up runs. I hope we see 9 or more runs on Saturday.

Texas vs. Detroit

#913/914

7pm

10* over 9 runs

Alfredo Simon has 13 overs to go with 9 unders this year and the Tigers have 64 overs and just 49 unders. They are led by Miguel Cabrera, who has been hot and cold this year with some injuries.

Prada starts for Texas and his ERA is near the 5.00 mark. Texas is a few games above .500 which is better than Detroit and led by Prince Fielder, who has nice power.

I like our chances to get to over 9 with the Detroit bullpen and we saw Detroit with 19 overs in a row earlier.

10* NY Mets -106

Play the Mets with Jacob Degrom on the mound as the team is 15-7 when he starts and won 3-0 in his last time on the hill. His ERA is just 2.02 and the team is led by Granderson, Kelly Johnson, Murphy, Uribe and Wilmer Flores.

The Orioles are at home but start Kevin Gausman and the team is just 3-5 in his time on the mound with a ERA at 4.50. The Birds do have some solid veterans like Adam Jones and Chris Davis but I like the pitching advantage of New York.

Cleveland at Boston

#963/964

7pm

10* over 9 runs

Boston has scored and allowed quite a few runs lately as they are on a 7-2-1 over run it the last 10. Their bullpen has let them down as they allowed 2 extra inning runs in a 10-8 loss on Sunday.

David Ortiz, Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley have hit well lately. Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez have missed recent games but may play.

Cleveland has a nice collection of power hitters and men who hit for average. I think we see 10 runs on Monday.

10* over 9

New York at Toronto
1pm
10* (# 966) Toronto -125

Nice value on the Blue Jays who have won 11 in a row (going for #12 on Friday and played after this is written.) Price pitches for the home team and they are a large favorite on Friday but there is nice value on Saturday as they are just -125 or better.

Estrada beat Tanaka last week 2-0. NYY does have some solid veterans but the Blue Jays are hot and led by Donladson and Bautista. Estrada is 3-0 with an ERA of 1.45 his last 3 while Tanaka is 1-2 with an ERA of 4.50.

I think Toronto wins 4-2.

10* Toronto is red hot but faces Sonny Gray, who has pitched well but 3 of his last 4 starts have been at home. Mark Buehrle still has good stuff. I like play streaks and Toronto has 10 wins in a row.

A's 3

Toronto 4

10* Toronto -138

5* LA Angels +135

Nice value on the Angels with Shoemaker, who has not allowed a run in his last 3 starts while Chris Sale is a great pitcher, his ERA is around 8 in his last 3 starts. The White Sox are below .500 while LA is in the hunt for a wild card spot or even better and led by the games best player (Mike Trout).

10* Atlanta +143

The Braves are 7-2 with Teheran vs. Miami. Jose Fernandez is great at home but his ERA is about 2 runs higher on the road. Miami is just 1-6 in their last 7.

Atl 4

Miami 3

10* Braves +143

10* over 9 runs

New York won easily on Tuesday and they have combined to score 16, 15 10, 19, 13, 7 and 26 in their last seven games. Ellsbury, ARod, Teixeira and Chase Headley have been red hot and Boston has played better lately as Ortiz, Sandoval and Napoli are solid hitters. Hopefully, both teams are able to score on Wednesday.

10* Arizona +132

AZ starts Godley and he is 2-0 with an ERA of 2.25 while Doug Fister has an ERA of 5.62 in his last 3 and the team is just 5-9 in his starts. Washington returns home after a long road trip. Nice value on The D-Backs Monday night.

10* Miami -146

I like Miami with Jose Fernandez as he is 15-0 at home in his career with some no decisions. The Marlins are without Giancarlo Stanton but seem to play well at home behind the 6'3" 240 pound pitcher who had been injured but is 4-0 this year.

San Diego is 6-1 in its last 7 but haven't seen much of the Miami starter and should struggle to score.

10* Miami -146

10* over 8.5

The ball is travelling well in Baltimore as the heat is helping the ball carry and both teams have scored 7 or more runs on Thursday and Friday.

10* under 9

Chen of Baltimore has pitched 11 unders in a row. These two did play a high scoring game last night but the Orioles have 40 overs/54 unders this year and under has prevailed 9-3-1 in their last 13 at home. Farmer starts for the Tigers and he has been poor in limited action. Hope to see Chen continue his streak.

10* Minnesota

I think the Twins bounce back after playing the Pirates and now get to play Seattle. The Mariners are without Robinson Cano and they lost yesterday with Felix Hernandez on the mound.

M's 3

Twins 5

5* KC +147

The Royals won 2-1 last night and are 26-20 on the road and 61-38 overall. Cleveland is just 19-31 at home but are favored as they start Corey Kluber but they are just 6-15 in his starts. The Indians have lost 6 in a row. Jeremy Guthrie starts for KC and the team is 12-7 in his starts but his ERA is at 5.35. KC is led by Lorenzo Cain, Hosmer, Moustakas and Perez. Power ratings have this as the #2 team vs. the #21 team. Nice value on the road team at +147 or so.

5* CWS +117

The White Sox are 9-1 in their last 10 road games and won last night 10-8. Boston is without Dustin Pedroia due to an injury. Wade Miley is 0-3 in his last few starts with a decent ERA of 3.44 while Jeff Samardizja is 3-0 with an ERA of 1.88. The White Sox have some decent sluggers like Melky Cabrera, Adam Eaton and Jose Abreu. Take the underdog with value at +117.

5* Chicago +117

10* NYY -110

The Yankees are in first place in the AL East and are 7-3 in their last 10 games. Ivan Nova starts and his ERA is about 2 runs per game lower than Matt Harrison's of Texas. Harrison did pitch a shutout in his last start but he gave up 6 runs in his last home start.

Texas has won 4 in a row but they are just 16-26 at home. NY has played better at home but are close to .500 away from Yankee Stadium.

Mark Texeira and ARod and Brett Gardner have had good seasons for the Yankees. I think New York wins on Monday.

NYY 5

Texas 3

10* NYY -110

10* under 7.5

Dallas Keuchel has had a nice season as an all-star for Houston. He may get some Cy Young votes as well. KC has a solid team and played in the World Series but may struggle vs. the stuff of Keuchel. I think we see a 4-3 type of game that stays under.

10* under 7.5

NYY at Minnesota

#971/972

10* Minnesota +130

Minnesota has one of the best home records in baseball. They are off some road losses and face the Yankees at home on Friday. NYY has been hot lately but they have been at home and pitcher Michael Pineda has been better at home that on the road. Twins' starter Phil Hughes is a former Yankee.

NYY 3

Minn 4

10* Minnesota +130

Chicago White Sox vs. Cleveland
7pm Thursday
under 7.5 (+100)

These two have combined to play 14 unders in a row including all 9 meetings in 2015. The White Sox have been an under team this season, having played 35 overs and 52 unders. Bauer starts for Cleveland and he has 5 overs/12 unders and both starters have 0 overs/3 unders in their last 3 starts and Jeff Samardzija has an ERA of 1.90 in that span. I was hoping to see the total set at 8 but it is 7.5. Playing the streak till it ends.

10* under 7.5 (+100)

5* NY Mets +180

Nice value on the home underdog as they 32-14 at home and start Bartolo Colon, who has allowed just 0 and 2 runs in recent home starts. The LA Dodgers are just 21-25 at home but are big favorites as Clayton Kershaw starts for them. He does have shutout in his last two starts and 0 walks and 27 K's. He was involved in a 2-1 Mets win in his last start vs. the Mets and that was at home. Hopefully, the Mets can find a way to score a few runs. This was +205 earlier but now +180.

  NY Mets at Washington
7pm
#901/902
10* under 7

Jacob Degrom was an all-star for the Mets and has an ERA of 2.14 and has allowed just 84 hits in 113 innings. Ross has limited action but has an ERA of just 2.66. The Nationals have hit well in the last two games but struggled before that so hopefully we see a 3-2 type of score that stays under. The Mets are without slugger David Wright and are in the bottom ten teams in offense.

10* under 7

10* over 9

Detroit has played 22 overs/3 unders in their last 25. They have lost badly to Baltimore in the last two days but have solid hitters like Ian Kinsler and JD Martinez. Seattle has Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz. The two pitchers have struggled lately as Happ and Alfredo Simon have combined for 5 overs in their last 6 starts.

Hopefully, both can score and we get an over.

Baltimore at Detroit
#971/972
7pm
10* over 8 runs

These two played a 7-3 over on Friday and Detroit has played overs in 22 of their last 25 games. They can hit and score runs but also allow runs. Ian Kinsler, JD Martinez and Nick Castellantos are playing well while the Orioles are a solid offensive team with Machado, Chris Davis, JJ Hardy, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters leading the way.

Chris Tillman has good stuff but his ERA is above 5 and David Price just pitched in the All-Star Game. Hopefully, the Orioles can score off him.

10* over 8

10* over 8

The Detroit streak ended at 19 overs on Thursday. Maybe they can start another over streak on Saturday when they face Phil Hughes, who has allowed 2 homers in his last two starts. Alfredo Simon starts for Detroit and his ERA is close to 6.50 in recent outings.

Joe Mauer is a tough hitter for the Twins while the Tigers are without Miguel Cabrera but do have Ian Kinsler, JD Martinez (24 HR's) and Castellantos.

over 8

10* over 8

Detroit has played 19 overs in a row. We have been riding the streak for over a week. The Tigers score and allow runs as their average game has been 12.33 runs in the streak. Cabrera is out but Kinsler, JD Martinez and Castellantos have been very hot.

Minnesota has Joe Mauer and Sano is hitting .450. The Twins just scored 8 runs vs. the Orioles. Pelprey has an ERA of 9.95 in his last 3 starts.

I am playing the streak till it ends.

10* over 8 runs

10* over 7.5 runs

Detroit and Seattle went over in the 3rd inning on Tuesday. Detroit has played 18 overs in a row and aiming for #19 on Wednesday afternoon. The weather has been hot in Seattle, with 85 degrees on Monday and 80 on Tuesday. Even players like Mike Zunino (.159) and Taylor at .154 got some key hits for Seattle.

Detroit is without Miguel Cabrera but Kinsler, Cespedes, JD Martinez and Casetellantos have hit well.

Detroit can score and give up runs. Let's hope it continues on Wednesday with a 3:40pm eastern start.

10* over 7.5

Detroit at Seattle
Tuesday 10pm
10* over 7.5

The over streak hits 17 and they play Tuesday night with the total set at 7.5. Walker starts for the Mariners and he has pitched well lately and hasn't allowed a walk in his last four starts. However, he has allowed 2 homers in each of his last two starts at home. Hopefully, both teams can score some runs and we see the over streak reach 18.

5* Houston +159

Corey Kluber has great stuff but the team is just 4-13 in his starts and they are just 15-23 at home. Kluber has a no decision, no decision, and 4 losses in his last 6 starts. Houston uses Velasquez an he is 3-2 with a 4.21 ERA and is 3-2 with an ERA of 3.94 in his last 3 starts. Houston is 20-20 on the road.

Nice value on Houston at +159.

10* over 7

Detroit has now played 15 overs in a row and aiming for #16 on Monday night when they travel to Seattle to face the Mariners. Alfredo Simon starts for the Tigers and he has allowed 29 hits in his last 14 innings and has 3 overs, o unders in his last three starts. His ERA is 11.05 in those starts. Iwakuma starts for the Mariners and he is coming off the Disabled List but did allow 4 runs in each of his last four starts.

The Tigers are without Miguel Cabrera but others like Kinsler, Cespedes and JD Martinez have done well. Seattle has Robinson Canu and Nelson Cruz for offense.

Hopefully, both teams contribute runs and we see over 7 runs on July 6th.

10* over 7 runs

10* over 9

Detroit has played 14 overs in a row and trying for #15. It hurts that Miguel Cabrera is out but JD Martinez, Victor Martinez and Cespedes are all solid hitters. Toronto has players like Reyes, Donaldson and Bautista who hit for power and average.

Justin Verlander's ERA is over 5 and he started the year injured. Estrada walked 4 vs. the Red Sox and gave up 5 runs in an earlier raod game.

Playing the streak until it ends.

10* over 9 runs

Toronto at Detroit
1pm Saturday
10* 0ver 8

The Tigers have 13 overs in a row and aim for 14 on Saturday afternoon. Dickey vs. Price. Playing the streak until it ends.

10* over 8.5

Detroit has played 13 overs in a row and face the best offense in baseball on Friday night. The Tiger bullpen has been erratic and the starters on Friday have combined for 19 overs/12 unders.

10* over 8.5

10* over 8 runs

Detroit has played 12 overs in a row and aim for 13 on Thursday afternoon. Red Dog has been on the last few overs. The Pirates won easily yesterday as Neal Walker was the key hitter. McCutcheon and Alvarez are others stars for the visitors while Detroit has Miguel Cabrera and JD Martinez (20 HR's).

It does concern me that Liriano starts for Pittsburgh and he has good stuff but did allow 5 runs at Washington recently and I expect the Tigers to bounce back after a 9-4 loss on Wednesday.

10* under 7

The Cards have played 27 overs and 45 unders and the CWS have 30 overs to go with 41 unders. The two starters combine for 70% unders. I think we see a 3-2 or 4-2 final on Wednesday.

Pittsburgh at Detroit
7pm Wednesday
10* over 8

Detroit has now played 11 overs in a row. Both teams used up some relievers in extra innings on Tuesday night and we won with the over 7.5. AJ Burnett has a low ERA but has allowed 3, 4 and 5 runs in his last three road games while Simon has allowed 5 and 7 runs in his last two starts (3 walks in both games). Playing the over streak to continue until it losses. Hoping to continue to see runs from both teams on Wednesday with solid hitters on both the Pirates (McCutcheon, Alvarez) and the Tigers (Cabrera, Martinez).

5* Miami +180

LA is just 14-20 on the road. Kershaw is great but has allowed 3 runs in his last two starts and LA is just 8-7 in his starts. Tom Koehler missed his last start but has pitched well recently at home. The Marlins are 17-20 at home and should be motivaed facing last year's Cy Young winner.

Cleveland at Baltimore
7pm Friday
10* Orioles +108

Baltimore is 7-3 in their last 10 games and 24-14 at home where they play Cleveland on Friday night. The Indians are 18-15 on the road but they are just 3-12 when Corey Kluber starts. His ERA is 3.65. The team is 0-3 in his last 3 starts with a 3.79 ERA. Chen for Baltimore has pitched well as they are 8-5 when he starts. He has a nice ERA of 2.89 and he is 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA in his last 3. Adam Jones missed the 8-6 win over Boston on Thursday but Machado, Wieters, Delmon Young, Nolan Reimold, Chris Davis, JJ Hardy and Steve Pearce played well. The teams played a 2-1 game when the two pitchers started against each other. Hopefully, Kluber doesn't pitched like he did last year. He gave up 4 runs and 4 walks in his last start. Nice value on Baltimore around +108 on Friday.

5* NYY +134

Take the Yankees as they are close to.500 on the road. They got a nice blow out win at home on Wednesday afternoon and face the Astros who just finished a long west coast trip playing Seattle, LAA and Colorado.

Adam Warren starts for the Yankees and the team is 9-4 in his starts and he has allowed just 2, 3, 2, 2, 1 and 2 runs in his last six starts and just one homer in his last 3 starts. NY is 7-2 in their last 9 at Houston, 19-7 in their last 26 on Thursday and Warren is 8-2 his last 10 on grass.

NY has decent hitters like ARod, Gardner, Teixeira, Headley, Beltran and Chris Young.

Dallas Keuchel starts for Houston and the team is 8-3 in his starts but he allowed 3 home runs at Seattle in his last start and walked 4. He gave up 5 and 3 runs in his last two starts. Nice value on New York at +134 on Thursday.

10* over 7

San Diego has 44 overs and just 26 unders. They are off a low scoring game against Madison Bumgarner and we see two pitchers (Kennedy and Vogelsong) that have ERA's in the 5.43 and 4.48 range.

Melvin Upton Jr. leads the Padres while Buster Posey is a perrenial all-star for the Giants.

I think we see 7+ runs on Wednesday.

10* over 7

10* Chicago Cubs

The Cubs are 6 games over .500 at home while the Dodgers are 6 games under .500 on the road and off a late win at home vs. the Giants. Kershaw starts for LA but they are just 8-6 in his starts. The Cubs have some solid players like Castro, Anthony Russo and Kris Bryant. Hopefully, the home team can win a 3-2 type of game and scrape some runs off LA's top pitcher.

10* Toronto

Toronto won 5-4 last night after being ahead 5-0 and almost blew it. Mark Buehrle starts for the Blue Jays and the team is 8-5 in his starts. Kevin Gausman pitches for the Orioles and he has been on the 15 day DL. Blue Jays average 2+ more runs at home and are 11-2 in their last 13 and led by Jose Bautista and Josh Donaldson and Jose Reyes. O's have been hot too but under .500 on the road.

10* Toronto -118

10* Toronto

I like the Blue Jays as they have been HOT especially at home. They crushed the Mets at home in two games after the Mets ended their winning streak at 11 games earlier in the week.

Toronto has solid hitters like Reyes, Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson and Bautista. 

O's 4

Blue Jays 6

10* Toronto -150

5* Chicago +160

The Cubs won yesterday 17-0 and that was after Cleveland won 6-0 on Sunday. Chicago jumped ahead early and every Cub that played had a hit. The Indians used a position player to pitch in the ninth. I won't be surprised to see Cleveland bounce back but there is nice value in Chicago at +150 to +160.

Jason Hammel is 2-1 in his last 3 and has pitched 80 innings, allowed just 12 walks and struck out 80. He has allowed just 2, 2, 1, 4, 0, 1 and 2 runs in his last seven starts. Danny Salazar starts for Cleveland and the team is 8-3 in his starts but his ERA is 3.54 and the team is just 12-19 at home and just 1-4 in the last 5 home games.

Nice value on the Cubs at +160

5* San Francisco +136

Madison Bumgarner starts for SF and hte team is 8-5 in his starts and his ERA is 3.16. The Giants are 7-2 in their last 9 road games while Seattle is just 1-8 in their last 9 home games. Felix Hernandez pitches for the Mariners and he is just 1-2 with an ERA of 12.00 in his last 3 starts mainly due to giving up 8 runs at Houston. Nice value on last year's World Series winners at +136.

10* Toronto +139

Toronto had won 11 in a row (tied 2-2 in 11th inning as I type this). Copeland starts for the Blue Jays and he is 1-0 with a 1.28 ERA in his last 3 games but mostly pitched 7 innings, allowed 6 hits and just one run. Harvey for the Mets has struggled lately with allowing 7 and 4 runs in his last two home starts and has one win, 4 losses and 2 no decisions in his last 7 starts. Toronto has solid hitters like Donaldson and Bautista (2 homers on Monday).

Toronto at New York Mets

Monday 7pm

10* over 7.5

These two have combined for 64 overs and 52 unders. Both teams put up double digits on Sunday as Toronto won 13-5 to continue their win streak. Mark Buehrle has pitched well lately but has allowed 0, 4, 4, 2, 8 and 5 runs in his last few road starts. The New York Mets won 12-10 on Sunday and had five innings where they scored 2 or more runs. Syndergaard starts for the Mets, who are 23-11 at home. Toronto has scored 88 runs in their 11 game win streak, which is 8 runs per game. The Blue Jays have solid hitters like Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista and Jose Reyes.  Hopefully, these two can play a 5-4 game on Monday night and help the total go over.

It does concern me that they will use National League rules without a DH but both teams have been hot and the ball should travel well with the temperature in the mid 80's.

10* over 7.5 runs

10* Chicago White Sox -131

I like the White Sox with Chris Sale as he has been great lately. The team is 8-3 in his starts and they are 3-0 in his last 3 and his ERA is 0.40 in that span. He has given up 1, 0 and 0 runs in those last 3 starts. H has pitched 73 innings and struck out 93 batters. Tampa Bay is just 15-16 at home and the team is 5-7 when Karns starts. Kanrns has an ERA of 3.86 which is not bad for the American league but I like my chances with Sale and the White Sox on Sunday.

Chi 4

TB 2

10* Chicago -131

10* Toronto +138

Toronto has won 9 in a row (up 13-8 on Friday as I write this) and hitting the ball well. RA Dickey has allowed just 2 runs in each of his last two starts (lost 2-0 at Washington). The Red Sox are just 15-15 at home and they start Clay Buchholz and Boston is just 4-8 in his starts. Nice value on the underdog going for their 10th win in a row.

10* Toronto +138

10* under 7

I think 7 is low for an American League total but think that is the right play as both starters are tough. Max Scherzer has an ERA of 1.85 (he is 2-1 with an ERA of 2.14 in his last 3) as he has allowed 4, 0, 1, 0 and 1 in his last five. Tanaka has an ERA of 4-1 with an ERA of 2.76 but is 3-0 with a super low ERA of 0.89 in his last 3 starts. Washington is just 2-8 in their last 10 and the Yankees have won 6 in a row. Hopefully, we see a 3-2 or 2-1 final score on Tuesday.

10* under 7 runs

10* Texas +113

Texas is 9-1 in their last 10 road games.They are 11-15 at home but 19-11 on the road. Jeremy Guthrie pitched well in his last start at home but has an ERA over 7 this year and his walks/strikeouts and hits per inning are poor. KC is hitting just .191 in their last 10 games and are just 2-8 in that span. I am going with the hot team on Sunday. The two starters (Colby Lewis/Guthrie) have combined for 14 overs and just 6 unders.

Texas 5

KC 4

10* Texas +113

5* St Louis +170

Nice value on St. Louis as they are 7-2 in their last 9 games vs. Clayton Kershaw. The Dodgers are just 6-5 in his starts and the Dodgers are without key players like Yasiel Puig. Nice value on the Cardinals.

10* over 8 runs

Jeremy Guthrie pitched poorly last start at Yankees Stadium and lasted just one inning. He did pitch well before that but his ERA is 6.72. These two have solid offenses as KC is led by Lorenzo Cain while the Indians have improved offensively after a slow start. Hopefully, both starters allow some runs and we get to close to 10 runs for an over.

10* San Francisco +120

The Giants are at home and are 16-10 there. They play Pittsburgh who are just 11-14 on the road (but 15-9 at home). The Pirates have been hot lately but face the World Series champions in SF after playing San Diego in a Sunday night game. Vogelsong is 3-0 with an ERA of 1.53 in his last 3 starts while Cole goes for the visitors and the team is 7-3 in his 10 starts with a nice ERA of 2.11. Nice value on the home team at +120.

10* SF Giants +120

10* under 6

6,7,2 and 4 are the amount of runs scored in Felix Hernandez home games. This game loses of we see a 4-3 score but I like our chances with it being 3-1 or so as the game will be played in the 50's. NY does have some solid hitters but the under has won 20-5-1 in Felix's last 26 games.

10* under 8

These two played a low scoring under yesterday. Tampa Bay and the Orioles have combined for 39 overs and 55 unders and Odorizzi has 1 over/9 unders. Hopefully, we see another under on Sunday.

10* New York Yankees +141

The A's are just 6-16 at home. Sonny Gray does have an ERA at 1.77 but the team is just 5-5 in his starts. The Yankees are around the .500 mark but have solid hitters like Teixeira, ARod, Brett Gardner, Chase Headley and Stephen Drew. Nice value on the underdogs at +141.

10* NYY +141

10* Texas +114

Boston is playing for the 20th straight day and is using a minor league pitcher tonight. The Red Sox are just 2-7 in their last 9 even though they have some solid players like Dustin Pedroia, Mookie Betts and Pablo Sandoval and Mike Napoli. Texas is 7-1 in their last 8 but did lose 12-3 yesterday at Cleveland. Martinez has pitched well as the team is 8-1 in his starts but he does have several no decisions. Texas is 23-24 but just 6-13 at home and Josh Hamilton makes his first home start tonight since returning to the Rangers. Prince Fielder has been hot as he is hitting .368 with 10 homers.
