04-29-24	Phillies -132 v. Angels	Top	5-6	Loss	-132	12 h 2 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Phillies (IL BLOWOUT) Philly is 19-10 this year, including 9-4 on the road, while LA is 10-18 overall, including 3-9 at home. This one for me though 100% comes down to the starting pitchers, as Cristopher Sanchez is 1-3 with a 2.96 ERA for the Phillies, while Griffin Canning is 1-3 with a 7.50 ERA for the Angels. LA is dealing with several injury issues, while Philadelphia is hitting its stride right now. I say that Sanchez is well worth the price of admission tonight. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Philadelphia.
04-27-24	Pirates v. Giants -140	Top	4-3	Loss	-140	11 h 12 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Giants. San Francisco has won three of its last four and I think it'll keep that momentum rolling for at least one more game here at home in another favorable starting pitching matchup. The Giants won the opener 3-0, but they're still just 13-14. Pittsburgh is now 13-14 and it's lost three straight. Pittsburgh goes with Martin Perez (1-1, 3.45 ERA) while the home side counters with Jordan Hicks (2-0, 1.61.) look for Hicks to take advantage of familiar surroundings and lay this price with confidence. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 San Francisco.
04-24-24	Mariners +107 v. Rangers	Top	1-5	Loss	-100	11 h 58 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Mariners. The Mariners are playing really well right now and getting good contributions from their bullpen and starting rotations. The Rangers are trending in the opposite direction. I say the general betting public is quick to back the Rangers still, but the real value in this particular matchup lies with the visitors. Bryce Miller is 3-1 with a 1.85 ERA for the Mariners, while Jon Gray is 0-1 with a 3.15 ERA for the Rangers. Look for Seattle to continue surge, and for Texas to continue to struggle. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Seattle.
04-17-24	Cubs v. Diamondbacks -114	Top	5-3	Loss	-114	6 h 9 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Diamondbacks. Neither starter has been great to open the year. Chicago hands the ball to Jordan Wicks (0-2, 5.68 ERA), while the home side counters with Brandon Pfaadt (1-0, 6.48.) Chicago had its three-game win streak snapped in last night's 12-11 loss and everything points to another classic letdown here. Give me Pfaadt at home and this very reasonable price! T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Arizona.
04-16-24	Cubs v. Diamondbacks -120	Top	11-12	Win	100	12 h 2 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Diamondbacks. A great price here on the hungry home side eager to bounce back after yesterday's 3-2 series opening loss. Arizona is in fact 7-2 in its last nine in trying to avenge a home loss as a fav vs. an opponent as well! Tommy Henry is 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA for the D-Backs, which clearly isn't great, but Kyle Hendricks is in all sorts of trouble here early on with an 0-2, 12.08 ERA and 2.37 WHIP stat line. Overall, the value here lies with the home side greatly in my opinion. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Arizona.
04-13-24	Cardinals v. Diamondbacks +101	Top	2-4	Win	101	10 h 22 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Arizona. I think we're getting really great value on the home side here that looks to avenge yesterday's 9-6 series-opening loss. St. Louis is 7-7 and Arizona is 6-8. Here are two veteran starters that have each gotten out to crummy starts to the season going head-to-head here. Kyle Gibson is 1-1 with a 6.23 ERA for the Cards, while Ryne Nelson is 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA for the D-Backs. Let's not overreact to either pitchers shaky performance to this point. With each starter "getting the hook early," this is going to turn into a bullpen game, and I give the advantage here to Arizona. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 D-Backs.
04-11-24	Pirates v. Phillies -138	Top	1-5	Win	100	9 h 5 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Phillies Pittsburgh is 9-3 overall, including 6-1 on the road, while Philadephia is 6-6, including only 2-4 at home. The Pirates also got out to a huge start last season, and then crumbled by the half way point. Will that happen again this season? Maybe! Either way, I now think that the Pirates are getting too much respect here. Philadelphia took two of three at St. Louis and I like Ranger Suarez here at home over Jared Jones on the road. When you add it all up, I absolutely feel that the Phillies could/should in fact be a much bigger fav in this particular matchup. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Philadelphia.
04-10-24	Orioles +101 v. Red Sox	Top	7-5	Win	101	10 h 1 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Orioles. Baltimore snapped a two-game slide with a 7-1 win here to open this series and I'm expecting the Orioles to build off that victory. Boston is now having to deal with an untimely injury to Trevor Story, and that's already had an impact on the infield play. Last year Boston committed 102 errors and so far their struggling against this season. Cole Irvin is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA after a poor start to open the season, but I look for him to settle down here now. Kutter Crawford is 0-0 with a 0.84 ERA for Boston, but regression seems imminent to me. All in all, I believe this to be fantastic line value on the Orioles here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Baltimore.
04-09-24	Phillies -127 v. Cardinals	Top	0-3	Loss	-127	10 h 5 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Phillies (NL GOM) Sonny Gray gets his debut start fot the Cardinals here. He injured his hamstring in Spring Training. The Phillies won the opener here yesterday by a score of 5-3 and I'm expecting a similar final result here as well. Philadelphia goes with Zach Wheeler (0-1, 0.75 ERA), who I expect will finally get a win here after allowing just one earned run over his first two starts. Great value here on the road side. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Phillies.
04-07-24	Astros v. Rangers -110	Top	3-1	Loss	-110	9 h 26 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Rangers. A really great price here. Ronel Blanco is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.22 WHIP after no-hitting the Jays in his last outing, but now we have a major overreaction by the bookmakers and the general betting public in my opinion. I love betting against guys in their next start after they've thrown a no-hitter, and that's the case here for sure, as I believe the correct call is on Dane Dunning (1-0, 4.26) and the defending champs to deliver the goods at home at this price. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Texas.
04-06-24	Blue Jays +100 v. Yankees	Top	8-9	Loss	-100	10 h 12 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays. The general betting public loves New York. I believe the Yanks are still overvalued here, especially considering hwo hot Kevin Gausman already is right out of the gates to open the season for Toronto. The Jays won 3-0 last night and their bullpen is still fresh. Gausman is 0-0 with a 2.08 ERA and 0.46 WHIP, while Clarke Schmidt is 0-0 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.31 WHIP for the Yanks. These are important early season divisional matchups, but I think the wrong team is favored in this particular matchup. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Toronto.
04-04-24	Pirates -120 v. Nationals	Top	7-4	Win	100	7 h 14 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh. The Pirates are now 5-1 after last night's 5-3 loss here. Pittsburgh won the opener to move to 5-0 by a score of 8-4, and with the clear pitching mismatch on the mound tonight that favors the visitors, I'm expecting a similar final outcome and lop-sided blowout for the Bucs as well. Pittsburgh goes with Martin Perez who is 0-0 with a 2.08 ERA, while the Nationals counter with Josiah Gray, who is 0-1 with a 15.75 ERA. Look for Pittsburgh to bounce back and to seal the deal on another series in this favorable matchup. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Pirates.
04-03-24	Guardians v. Mariners -153	Top	8-0	Loss	-153	6 h 10 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Mariners. Seattle opened this series with a 5-4 win, before Cleveland bounced back in yesterday's 5-2 victory. Now here though on Wednesday, I think the visitors wil get caught looking ahead to their divisional game at the Twins starting tomorrow. Seattle on the other hand has to leave the PNW for series at Milwaukee and Toronto, putting added emphasis onto this contest. Logan Allen (1-0, 5.40 ERA) gets the call for the visitors, while George Kirby (1-0, 0.00) counters for the home side. Give me Kirby at home at this price, as I expect Seattle to make the most of this situation and to find a way to cap off this home series with a victory. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Seattle.
04-01-24	Yankees v. Diamondbacks +113	Top	5-2	Loss	-100	12 h 10 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Diamondbacks. New York just swept the Astros on the road in Houston and I say it has a classic "letdown" here on the road in this interleague contest and in this difficult away venue. Arizona took three of four from Colorado over the weekend. Luis Gil is 1-1 with a 3.78 ERA in seven career starts but hasn't pitched in the Big Leagues since 2022. Ryne Nelson counters for the home side, and he went 8-8 with a 5.31 ERA last year. I think Nelson is the correct call here at home, as his upside is high here to open the season. All things considered, I think this is a great situational play. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Arizona.
10-30-23	Rangers -104 v. Diamondbacks	Top	3-1	Win	100	19 h 39 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers - Moneyline Proj Starters - Max Scherzer (0-1, 9.45 ERA) vs. Brandon Pfaadt (0-0, 2.70 ERA) I like the Texas Rangers to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday, October 30th. It was a struggle for Texas in game 2 to string any sort of runs together. The bullpen looked tired and the batters looked outclassed by a veteran pitcher in Merrill Kelly. Now, the DBacks turn back to their rookie who's been shockingly outstanding over these playoffs. On the other side, we've got Max Scherzer who's looking for his first good start of the postseason. The numbers would say hammer ARI. I'm hammering TEXAS as I expect a huge bounce back from both the hitting group and the pitching group. The Rangers are a perfect 8-0 in this playoffs on the road and I think they'll make it nine straight in Game 3. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Rangers. Line: -104 Line Parameter: play until -150..
10-07-23	Twins v. Astros -148	Top	4-6	Win	100	16 h 4 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline Proj Starters - Joe Ryan (11-10, 4.51 ERA) vs. Justin Verlander (13-8, 3.22 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday, October 7th. You might think playing in the Wildcard series would help, as you're already comfortable in the playoffs. However, Houston's been here many times before and are ready to win ball games. Verlander's been on a tear coming into these playoffs and he's way more experienced than any Minny pitcher. I trust him in game 1 to get the job done. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 HOU. Line: -148 Line Parameter: play until -170..
09-29-23	Twins -185 v. Rockies	Top	7-6	Win	100	20 h 57 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins - Moneyline Proj Starters - Joe Ryan (11-10, 4.31 ERA) vs. Ty Blach (3-3, 5.43 ERA) I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Friday, September 29th. After losing yesterday, the Twins are looking to finish the season off strongly. Yes, there isn't anything to play for in this series. But, this is the perfect series to end the season for Minny. Getting to hit the ball in Denver with the elevation will give the Twins loads of confidence heading into the postseason. They should win this game and win the series. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Twins. Line: -185 Line Parameter: play until -220..
09-27-23	Cardinals v. Brewers -128	Top	2-3	Win	100	7 h 57 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers - Moneyline Proj Starters - Zack Thompson (5-7, 4.57 ERA) vs. Wade Miley (9-4, 3.20 ERA) I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, September 27th. Milwaukee is looking to keep winning as we near the end of the season. Although they play their final series at home as well, these are big games as they look to build confidence heading into an important series with the Cubs. They've got the better pitcher in this matchup and should be able to win comfortably. Hammer the Brewers here. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Brewers. Line: -128 Line Parameter: play until -200..
09-26-23	Diamondbacks -135 v. White Sox	Top	15-4	Win	100	21 h 44 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Arizona Diamondbacks - Moneyline Proj Starters - Zach Davies (2-5, 6.81 ERA) vs. Jose Urena (0-6, 7.27 ERA) I like the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, September 26th. Arizona has struggled a little bit over the past few games. However, they still hold the 5th wildcard spot. Looking at the standings, they very much need to string some wins together to finish the season. The Cubs are tied with them and the rest of the teams in the hunt are right on their heels. Neither of these pitchers have been good but I expect the DBacks offense to be better than the White Sox here. Give me ARI in the first game of this series. T.M. Prediction: 8-2 DBacks. Line: -135 Line Parameter: play until -179..
09-25-23	Astros +112 v. Mariners	Top	5-1	Win	112	24 h 17 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline Proj Starters - Justin Verlander (11-8, 3.44 ERA) vs. Luis Castillo (14-7, 3.06 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Seattle Mariners on Monday. This has playoff baseball written all over it. Winner of this series is in great shape, the loser might be going home. I know Castillo hasn't lost a game since July, but I believe that the Astros are ready for this series. Verlander's got more experience and should be able to have a strong outing. Expect a low scoring game with Houston coming out on top. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Astros. Line: +112 Line Parameter: play until -130..
09-19-23	Red Sox v. Rangers -147	Top	4-6	Win	100	7 h 10 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers - Moneyline Proj Starters - Tanner Houck (5-9, 4.94 ERA) vs. Nathan Eovaldi (11-4, 2.96 ERA) I like the Texas Rangers to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, September 19th. Boston is struggling to win games right now. After they figured their playoff hopes were done, they stopped playing like they have for most of this season. The Rangers are currently in a huge 3-team battle with the Mariners and the Jays for wildcard positions. 2 of those teams will make it, and one of them will go home. With just two weeks left, every single game is crucial. Give me the Rangers to extend BOS' losing streak here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-5 Rangers. Line: -147 Line Parameter: play until -165..
09-18-23	Mariners -165 v. A's	Top	5-0	Win	100	21 h 38 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - Moneyline Proj Starters - Bryan Woo (3-4, 4.16 ERA) vs. JP Sears (5-11, 4.45 ERA) I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Monday, September 18th. The Mariners have fallen into a slump at the wrong time. With the season winding down, they find themselves a game out of a playoff spot. To be fair, they were up against one of the best teams in the Major's last series. But now, against the A's, there are no excuses. Woo hasn't been great, but he's off a very good start last time out. I expect the M's to get back on track with a big win here to keep their playoff hopes alive. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Mariners. Line: -165 Line Parameter: play until -190..
09-17-23	Giants -159 v. Rockies	Top	11-10	Win	100	13 h 30 m	Show
T.M. Selection: San Francisco Giants - Moneyline Proj Starters - Sean Manaea (5-6, 4.80 ERA) vs. Chris Flexen (1-7, 7.22 ERA) I like the San Francisco Giants to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. This series has been a complete disaster for the Giants. They came in feeling very good. Now, they are 2.5 games back of the wildcard and are slowly slipping away. However, a big win here would go a long way. Manaea hasn't been perfect this season, but he's coming off a solid performance against the Guardians last time out. Flexen has not been good all season long. Expect the Giants to avoid the sweep and get back on track here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Giants. Line: -159 Line Parameter: play until -199..
09-15-23	Phillies -131 v. Cardinals	Top	5-4	Win	100	18 h 29 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies - Moneyline Proj Starters - Aaron Nola (12-9, 4.65 ERA) vs. Zack Thompson (5-5. 4.06 ERA) I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday, September 15th. Although the Phillies are in a bit of a slump, I believe that this is the perfect series to help them jump out of it. The Cardinals have actually played well over the past month, but have really underachieved this season. Their playoff hopes have gone out the door and it's about just finishing the season for them. Nola is coming off back to back rough outings. However, he's going to want a huge bounce back game here. In his career, Nola owns an outstanding 6-3 record with a 2.41 ERA in 10 starts. Give me the Phillies here in game one of this series. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Phillies. Line: -131 Line Parameter: play until -167..
09-13-23	Diamondbacks -140 v. Mets	Top	1-7	Loss	-140	16 h 23 m	Show
T.M. Selection: ARI - Moneyline Proj Starters - Zac Gallen (15-7, 3.31 ERA) vs. Joey Lucchesi (2-0, 3.54 ERA) I like the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game against the New York Mets on Wednesday. Coming off yesterday's loss, the Diamondbacks are looking to bounce back here to finish the series off. Luckily for them, they have their ace on the mound. Gallen has had another phenomenal year and he's trying to make his Cy Young case as strong as possible. He should crush the Mets here today and improve on his already incredible stats. Give me the Diamondbacks in a blowout. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 DBacks. Line: -140 Line Parameter: play until -180..
09-13-23	Braves -158 v. Phillies	Top	4-1	Win	100	7 h 9 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves - Moneyline Proj Starters - Spencer Strider (16-5, 3.83 ERA) vs. Christopher Sanchez (2-3, 3.26 ERA) I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Yesterday's comeback win should help these Braves go on another massive run. They just have way too much hitting for these other teams to handle. Especially with their ace on the mound. Strider has been lights out all season long. The Braves should win this one easily. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Braves. Line: -158 Line Parameter: play until -199..
09-12-23	Cubs -175 v. Rockies	Top	4-6	Loss	-175	21 h 34 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Chicago Cubs - Moneyline Proj Starters - Javier Assad (3-3, 2.83 ERA) vs. Chris Flexen (1-7, 7.36 ERA) I like the Chicago Cubs to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday, September 12th. Yesterday's comeback in helps the Cubs in a big way. Currently hanging on to a Wildcard spot, the CHC needs all the wins that they can get. Assad has been excellent in his starts this season and I expect that to continue here today. After settling down for a few games, Flexen has looked awful once again as of late. This is the perfect opportunity for the Cubs to gain some more confidence as we head down the stretch. Expect Chicago to win this comfortably. T.M. Prediction: 10-3 Cubs. Line: -175 Line Parameter: play until -210..
09-11-23	Cubs -171 v. Rockies	Top	5-4	Win	100	17 h 15 m	Show
T.M. Selection: CHC - Moneyline Proj Starters - Jordan Wicks (3-0, 2.16 ERA) vs. Kyle Freeland (6-14, 5.09 ERA) I like the Chicago Cubs to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. Ever since being called up to the big leagues, Wicks has been phenomenal. In three starts, he's a perfect 3-0 with an amazing ERA. Now, I don't expect his ERA to stay quite as good after this one, with the game being in Colorado. However, I do believe that he will out-pitch Freeland by a mile today. The Cubs have been hitting Lefties better than Righties this season so expect a lot of runs here. Give me the favorite. T.M. Prediction: 10-3 Cubs. Line: -171 Line Parameter: play until -185..
09-09-23	Padres v. Astros -126	Top	5-7	Win	100	18 h 53 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline Proj Starters - Seth Lugo (6-6, 3.49 ERA) vs. Cristian Javier (9-3, 4.65 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the San Diego Padres on September 9th. San Diego has been in and out all season. From a team that I thought that had a chance to win it all, this has been a complete disappointment from them. On the other hand, the Astros are finally back and healthy and I expect them to challenge for yet another World Series. Javier's ERA is slightly higher than he would like. But, he's still got an excellent record. I expect the defending champs to bounce back here after yesterday's loss. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. Line: -126 Line Parameter: play until -160..
09-08-23	Orioles -115 v. Red Sox	Top	11-2	Win	100	16 h 25 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles - Moneyline Proj Starters - Kyle Bradish (10-6, 3.03 ERA) vs. Tanner Houck (4-8, 5.07 ERA) I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on September 8th. Coming into this series off five straight wins, the Orioles are feeling as confident as ever right now. They own the top seed in the AL by a mile and want to continue their excellent season with another series win here. Bradish has been excellent throughout this season and he should be stellar again today. Boston comes in off back to back losses. I'm riding the hot hand here today and hammering the Orioles at this cheap price. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 O's. Line: -115 Line Parameter: play until -140..
09-06-23	Mariners -160 v. Reds	Top	8-4	Win	100	15 h 37 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - Moneyline Proj Starters - Logan Gilbert (12-5, 3.56 ERA) vs. Lyon Richardson (0-1, 6.75 ERA) I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on September 6th. Cincinnati has been the story of this series so far as they've pulled off back to back shocking upsets in the first two games. With Seattle's playoff chances now in jeopardy, I expect them to play some clutch baseball here to finish the series. Gilbert has been incredible all season and he's ready to crush it again. Richardson hasn't been very strong in any of his first three starts. Give me the M's here to avoid the series sweep. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 M's. Line: -160 Line Parameter: play until -200..
09-05-23	Orioles -153 v. Angels	Top	5-4	Win	100	12 h 57 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles - Moneyline Proj Starters - Dean Kremer (12-5, 4.20 ERA) vs. Reid Detmers (3-10, 5.01 ERA) I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. I had the Orioles in yesterday's game and I believe that the O's have what it takes to dominate this series. I do believe that Detmers is better than his stats may suggest, but he hasn't been very good this season. Kremer has been excellent and he's pitching behind a red hot lineup right now. This one has Orioles written all over it. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 O's. Line: -153 Line Parameter: play until -170..
09-05-23	Red Sox v. Rays -146	Top	6-8	Win	100	9 h 1 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays - Moneyline Proj Starters - Kutter Crawford (6-7, 4.08 ERA) vs. Zach Elfen (13-8, 3.41 ERA) I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on September 5th. Yesterday, the Red Sox got the best of the Rays. It was a game of up and downs as the umpire wasn't doing either team any favors. Today, I expect the Rays to bounce back with a much needed win. There's still a chance that Tampa grabs the one seed instead of 4 in the playoffs. Eflin's been great this year and I expect him to stay that way. Grab Tampa at home in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Rays. Line: -146 Line Parameter: play until -180..
09-03-23	Yankees v. Astros -132	Top	6-1	Loss	-132	8 h 36 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline Proj Starters - Michael King (3-5, 2.96 ERA) vs. Cristian Javier (9-2, 4.66 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the New York Yankees on Sunday. Even though the Yankees have won both gamein this series so far, the Astros are by far the better team this season. Javier should be able to cruise through tonight and I just don't see the Yankees sweeping. Michael King will most likely be an opener (or only pitch 3 or 4 innings.) Therefore, the Astros need to jump all over him early and I believe that they will. Give me the defending champs in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. Line: -132 Line Parameter: play until -170..
09-02-23	Mariners -128 v. Mets	Top	8-7	Win	100	15 h 18 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - Moneyline Proj Starters - Luis Castillo (11-7, 3.01 ERA) vs. David Peterson (3-7, 5.23 ERA) I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the New York Mets on September 2nd. After losing yesterday's game, the Mariners stay tied with the Astros for the lead in the AL West. However they own the tiebreak against HOU. But, Texas owns the tiebreaker against them right now. That means, every win is crucial down the stretch. Seattle will start their “ace” over the past few seasons now. Castillo has the one of the best 1-2 fastball-changeup combos in the league. Expect a gem from him today. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 M's. Line: -128 Line Parameter: play until -160..
08-27-23	Padres -115 v. Brewers	Top	6-10	Loss	-115	10 h 15 m	Show
T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres - ML Proj Starters - Michael Wacha (10-2, 2.63 ERA) vs. Adrian Houser (5-4, 4.28 ERA) I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Aug 27. The season is slowly slipping away from the Padres and they really need to go on a huge winning streak. Wacha has been their best pitcher in my opinion this season and this is the perfect game to have him on the mound. They've got the talent and should be able to win this game comfortably. Expect a 2+ run win from SD here today. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. Line: -115 *line Parameter: play until -140 (can play -1.5 at 7)**

T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves - Moneyline Proj Starters - Spencer Strider (14-4, 3.57 ERA) vs. Logan Webb (9-9, 3.36 ERA) I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Friday. Strider came out of nowhere and started making noise from the start. Now, he's a known superstar and he's on pace to possibly be the NL Cy Young. Webb, on the other hand has been excellent as well. However, he gets no run support whatsoever when he starts. That's a big problem when you're playing the highest scoring and quite possibly the best team in baseball. Expect Strider to dominate, and for the Braves to explode here today. T.M. Prediction: 7-1 Braves. Line: -152 Line Parameter: play until -205..

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline Proj Starters - Tanner Houck (3-6, 5.05 ERA) vs. Justin Verlander (8-6, 3.37 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. After going down early in yesterday's game, the Astros were able to respond. Verlander has been great since returning to the defending champs and I expect him to be good once again. Houck's ERA is quite high, and shouldn't go too far into this game. I expect Houston to win this series. Therefore, grab them today and watch the winner unfold. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Astros. Line: -145 Line Parameter: play until -180..

T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Pirates - Moneyline Proj Starters - Adam Wainwright (3-8, 8.42 ERA) vs. Johan Oviedo (6-13, 4.55 ERA) I like the Pittsburgh Pirates to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. Even though Oviedo hasn't been all that impressive this season, his numbers and still significantly better than Wainwright. There's no doubt that the 41yr old has had success over his career. However, this year just hasn't been it. It's shocking that he's even pitching again this season. Expect the Pirates to eat him alive from start to finish here. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Pirates.

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline Proj Starters - James Paxton (7-3, 3.34 ERA) vs. Cristian Javier (8-2, 4.49 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Although Javier's ERA has gone up a bit over the past few games, let's not forget that this guy has been dominant for a few seasons in a row now. He still owns a great 8-2 record and he's pitching for one of the best lineups in baseball. Boston has been hot, don't get me wrong, but Paxton is starting to show signs of fatigue. He's giving up more homers and I expect that to raise his ERA come the end of the season. I've got the Astros winning game one of this four game series. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Astros. Line: -127 Line Parameter: play until -150..

T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - Moneyline Proj Starters - Luis Castillo (9-7, 3.23 ERA) vs. Touki Toussaint (1-5, 4.47 ERA) I like the Seattle mariners to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. Even though Castillo's record might not look great, he's still one of, if not, the best pitchers in the league. He's got incredible command and his fastball, changeup combo is one of the best in the majors. On the other hand. Toussaint has not been very good. He's still young and has lots of time to improve. However, I don't see him being able to compete with the red hot Mariners right now. Hammer Seattle, even with them being expensive. T.M. Prediction: 9-2 Mariners.

T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins - ML Proj Starters - Mitch Keller (9-8, 4.27 ERA) vs. Sonny Gray (6-5, 3.04 ERA) I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Although Keller has had a very solid season, it's been hard for him to put up incredible numbers with how bad the Pirates have been in the second half of this year. Minnesota is hanging onto first in the AL Central, and Gray has been a huge part of that, He's very capable and his ERA has been second to none. I expect another good start here against a weak pirates team that full of injuries. Hammer Minny here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Twins. Line: -159 Line Parameter: play until -190..

T.M. Selection: New York Yankees - ML Proj Starters - Kutter Crawford (5-6, 3.80 ERA) vs. Gerrit Cole (10-3, 2.76 ERA) I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Current AL Cy Young favorite, Gerrit Cole, takes the mound today as he looks to keep up his incredible season. It was a disaster from the start in yesterday's game so I expect Cole to help to it around. They need to start winning and winning a lot if they want a chance at October baseball. Expect them to get the job done here this afternoon. T.M. Prediction: 5-0 Yankees. Line: -160 Line Parameter: play until -185..

T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles - ML Proj Starters - Kyle Gibson (11-7, 4.89 ERA) vs. Luis Medina (3-8, 5.31 ERA) I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. The Orioles are just the better team here. They've got the better lineup and the better pitcher. Not to mention the A's currently hold the worst record in the Major's. The Orioles have actually surprised me this season with how good they've been. After watching throughout the year, I think it's safe to call them a contender. They've got depth and excellent pitching. Even if this game gets to the later innings as a close one, I expect the O's to pull it out. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 O's. Line: -171 Line Parameter: play until -210..

T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Reds - ML Proj Starters - Noah Syndergaard (2-5, 6.35 ERA) vs. Andrew Abbott (7-3, 2.95 ERA) I like the Cincinnati Reds to win this game against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. Even tho the Guardians managed to shut out the Reds in yesterday's game, the Reds are still coming in with the same mentality. They need to win and they need to keep winning in order to make the playoffs. The same could be said about Cleveland. However, they've got one of their worst starters on the mound today. Syndergaard's 6+ ERA shows just how bad he's been this season. On the other hand, Abbott has been phenomenal in his first year as a starter. Give me Cincy to even up the series at home here today. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Reds. Line: -160 Line Parameter: play until -190..

T.M. Selection: Arizona Diamondbacks - ML Proj Starters - Slade Cecconi (0-0, 2.84 ERA) vs. Austin Gomber (9-9, 5.33 ERA) I like the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. I don't know how in the world this line is so low. I get that this rookie has only pitched 6.1 innings in his career, but c'mon now. This is a team in the playoff hunt taking on one of the worst teams in baseball. Gomber has been solid, considering he's in Colorado. But, he's coming in off a loss and he's due to get rocked. I've got ARI here today. T.M. Prediction: 11-4 DBacks. Line: -130 Line Parameter: play until -165..

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - ML Proj Starters - Cristian Javier (8-2, 4.36 ERA) vs. Johnny Cueto (0-3, 5.33 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. I took the Astros yesterday as well. In today's matchup, the Astros are somehow even less of a favorite. Javier has been really good once again this season and I expect him to improve on that ERA in this one. Miami is barely hanging on to a wildcard spot, however; Cueto has yet to win a game this season. I expect the defending champs to win this second game of the series. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Astros. Line: -126 Line Parameter: play until -155..

T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - ML Proj Starters - Logan Gilbert (10-5, 3.66 ERA) vs. Brady Singer (8-8, 5.05 ERA) I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. Even though the Mariners still find themselves sitting outside of the final wild card spot, they've still got lots of season left to grab one. They've definitely got the talent and they are finally starting to string together wins. Gilbert has been phenomenal this season. On the other hand, Singer has been solid, for Royals' pitchers. However, that 5.05 ERA is still something to look at. The Royals shouldn't win too many more games down the stretch and the M's need wins. Getting them at this price makes this an easy selection. Hammer Seattle here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-1 M's. Line: -140 Line Parameter: play until -180..

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Money Line Proj Starters - Framber Valdez (9-7, 3.30 ERA) vs. Braxton Garrett (6-3, 4.08 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. Off yesterday's loss, the defending champs are still 2.5 games back of the AL West lead. They've got to start winning more and more if they want a shot at the Div Title. Framber, who gets the nod today, has been excellent once again this season. On the other hand, Garrett has also been good. However, the 26yr old lefty (Garrett,) has been quite bad at home this year. He owns a whopping 5.40 ERA which is well above the league average. Expect Houston to knock him around a bit here today. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros. Line: -138 Line Parameter: play until -170..

While I had the Brewers yesterday as well, I'm coming back with them again today. They've got the better pitcher and should be playing with more heart. While the White Sox aren't completely out of the playoff race yet, they pretty much are. On the other hand, MIL is currently barely holding on to first in the NL Central. They need all the wins they can get coming down the stretch. Expect them to get the job done in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Brewers. Line: -152 Line Parameter: play until -190..

T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers - Money Line Proj Starters - Corbin Burnes (9-6, 3.42 ERA) vs. Micahel Kopech (5-10, 4.43 ERA) I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Off seven consecutive Quality Starts, Burnes smells blood in this game against the White Sox. In two career outings against the Chi Sox, he owns a 1-0 record with a 2.79 ERA. Kopech hasn't been very good this season. He's got ten losses on his record and that ERA isn't anything special either. Although the Brewers are the greatest hitting team, they should be able to get the job done here in a much needed victory situation. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Brewers. Line: -160 Line Parameter: play until -210..

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Money Line Proj Starters - Christian Javier (7-2, 4.39 ERA) vs. Jack Flaherty (8-6, 4.28 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. After beginning the season with the Cardinals, Flaherty finds himself in a battle to be a postseason starter with the rest of the O's rotation. He's been solid this season, but has had his rough patches. Now, he'll go up against the defending champs, who are primed for another deep playoff run. Javier has been excellent this season. He owns an outstanding 1.42 ERA in 12.2 innings against Baltimore. Getting Javier at an underdog price is just too good to pass up. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Astros. Line: +105 Line Parameter: play until -135..

Atlanta hasn't been very good as of late. However, I believe that they will snap out of this mini slump here today. Keller was once 9-3. Now, he's 9-8. The Pirates have also fallen off completely since their miraculous start to this season. Expect the best team in baseball to win this one comfortably. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Braves.

Although the Mets just traded away both of their top two starters, they've still got this guy. Kodai Senga is in his first season of pitching in the Majors and he's done pretty well. Now, against one of the worst teams in baseball, he's got the opportunity for yet another stellar performance. The Royals have won four straight, but that run is due to end. Give me the Mets here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Mets. Line: -162 Line Parameter: play until -190..

The Royals may have won both of these two games to start this series. But, I fully believe that the Twins will comeback and avoid the sweep. Minnesota is solid all around and should be able to win this one especially after scoring seven runs in yesterday's game. Maeda can be very strong at times as well. I've got Minny here. T.M.

Although the Rangers have been excellent this season, I do think that they are slightly over-performing. Both of these two teams are battling for the lead in the AL West and this series has brought the defending champs within just a game. Today, they go for the sweep with their ace on the mound. Valdez has been stellar once again and I expect the Astros to continue their hot streak onto the next series against the Rays. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Astros.

T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays - ML Proj Starters - Edward Cabrera (5-5, 4.50 ERA) vs. Tyler Glasnow (3-3, 3.62 ERA) I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Miami has been excellent this season considering how bad they've been over the past few seasons. However, the Rays have been one of the best teams all season long and I expect them to keep it up for the rest of the season. Glasnow is terrific when he's on his game and he should be here today. Tampa is looking to grab first back in the AL East once again after the O's took it from them not long ago. Give me the Rays here today. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Rays.

Although Winans has never made an MLB start in his career, I believe that the Braves will have his back and dominate in his debut. He's got some great stuff and the Braves expect him to be a part in their future. The Brewers have been slightly overachieving so far this season and I think it's about time for them to start cooling off. Give me the Braves here today. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Braves.

Even after winning the series against the Red Sox, the A's still own the worst record in baseball by quite a bit. Now, they take on the defending champs, who are looking to make a push for top of the division. France has been excellent, while Harris has been just like every other A's starter this season. Expect the Astros to handle their business in the first game of this four game series. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Astros. Line: -171 Line Parameter: 4% until -190, 3% until -240..

The Mariners are slowly making their way back up the standings after underperforming in the opening half of the season, Castillo hasn't been incredible record wise, but his ERA has been second to none once again this season. Maeda has struggled throughout the year and doesn't look to be settling in too well after his last start. The Mariners have the better lineup and should be able to win this game quite easily with the better pitcher here today. Hammer Seattle in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Mariners.

Neither team has been excellent this season, but Lyles has been one of, if not, the worst pitcher in the Majors this year. Manning owns some very solid stats this year and I expect him to continue this against one of the worst teams this season. Expect the Tigers to take the first game of this series. T.M.

T.M. Selection: Astros. Houston won the opener by a score of 7-5, but then it stumbled and allowed the Angels to come back late in last night's 13-12 loss here. But I'm predicting the visitors to bounce back easily here in the finale, as this is a clear starting pitching mismatch. Christian Javier is 7-1 with a 4.34 ERA and 1.22 WHIP for Houston, while his counterpart Tyler Anderson is 4-2, but with an elevated 5.25 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. Houston is 7-3 in its last ten in trying to avenge a road loss as a favorite vs. an opponent, and in what I feel is a lop-sided starting pitching matchup, I look for this trend to be extended. Lay the price here with no worries, the play is Houston. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Houston.

Although the Twins are slightly underperforming, in my opinion, I expect them to turn up a bit in the second half of this season. What's better than having your first series after the break against the worst team in the league. You gotta win at least two of three. Expect them to grab this one en route to just that. T.M.

Although the Mariners are marginally underperforming to start the season, I also believe that the Astros are underperforming ever so slightly. After winning the World Series last year, Houston got off to a terrible start. However, Valdez and co have helped them move within a couple of game of the Rangers for first in the AL West. I'm expecting Valdez to let his dominant ERA show itself in the second half of this season. Give me the Astros here in the 2nd game of this series. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Astros.

When the Cubs jumped out to a fantastic start to the season, I knew it wouldn't be long before they fell off. They're record is slowly getting worse and worse and I expect it to fall even more. Rodon will make his first start of the season here today and I believe that he will start his new campaign off strong. Taillon has not been good this season whatsoever. In their last 12 meetings, NYY is 11-1. I've got the Yankees here in a blowout. T.M. Prediction: 11-2 Yankees. Line: -165 Line Parameter: play until -200..

Although Boston has looked sharp over the past week, the Rangers are the better team overall. Yesterday's win should give Texas the confidence boost they need to win this series. The Rangers are a dominant 11-3 in their last fourteen games in the 2nd game of a series. Looking at the pitchers, Jon Gray has been excellent throughout this season. Bello has been good as of late as well; However, I believe that he is due to get rocked here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Rangers. Line: +100 Line Parameter: play until -135..

It's Independence Day and I'm all over the best game on today's slate. Two dominant pitchers will go head to head in a huge game. Although I expect the Padres to turn on the jets in the second half of the season, they still aren't showing any signs of that quite yet. The Angels have been very solid throughout the year and they've been dominant with Shohei on the mound. The Japanese superstar may go down in history as the best to ever play the game. What he's doing this season is out of this world. Expect a massive game from Ohtani on both sides of the ball here today on this huge day. Grab the Angels as a slight underdog. T.M.

Although I believe in Gavin Williams and his future in this league, it's a matter running into the wrong team at the wrong time. Off yesterday's win, the Braves have now won eight consecutive games (8-0.) They are the hottest team and baseball and I'm hopping on the $ train. Elder has been fantastic all season long and Acuna Jr is on pace to make history. Expect the Braves to give Williams his first career loss and picks up their ninth straight here today. T.M.

T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Rays - ML Shane McClanahan (11-1, 2.23 ERA) vs. Bryce Miller (5-3, 3.88 ERA) I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Tampa is coming off another easy win which has them starting up yet another mini winning streak. Seattle is coming in off back to back losses and I expect a third consecutive here today. McClanahan got hurt in his last start, but he's back and ready to dominate like he has all season long. Miller has been excellent too, but I just don't see the Mariners providing enough runs for him to pick up the win in this one. Rays start this series off with a win. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rays. Line: -127 Line Parameter: play until -160..

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - ML J.P. France (2-3, 3.54 ERA) vs. Adam Wainwright (3-2, 6.56 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Yesterday's win evened up the series at one-a-piece. In the series finale, the Astros look to start up a mini win streak. In the past, the Astros dominate in 3-game series'. In fact, they've got a 49-18 record in 3-gm series. I expect them to show up and win once again here today. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Astros. Line: -111 Line Parameter: play until -150..

T.M. Selection: TB - ML Zach Eflin (9-3, 3.35 ERA) vs. Zach Davies (1-4, 7.82 ERA) I like the Tampa Bay Rays to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Tampa has been very in and out as of late. However, I believe that this is the pitching matchup that they very much need. Eflin has been excellent & Davies has been dreadful. Expect the Rays to dominate in this one en route to yet another victory. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Rays. Line: -146 Line Parameter: play until -176..

T.M. Selection: NYY - ML Jhony Brito (4-3, 4.89 ERA) vs. Paul Blackburn (0-0, 4.21 ERA) I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. The Yankees' bats are starting to come alive and it's about time. They've got talent everywhere and should be one of the top teams in the Majors in all categories. Even without Judge, they've got an extremely potent lineup. On the other hand, the A's are in for another losing streak. I expect this game to not even be close. Brito has been solid and I expect a destruction here on Tuesday night. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Yankees. Line: -141 Line Parameter: play until -180..
06-24-23	Pirates v. Marlins -146	Top	3-4	Win	100	7 h 58 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Marlins. After ten straight losses, the Bucs finally got a victory here yeterday by a score of 3-1. Suffice it to say, I'm expecting an immediate return to mediocrity for Pittsburgh here, which is still a sub-par 17-21 on the road. The Pirates are who we thought they were. Miami though has been much better than most everyone could/would have predicted, coming in at 43-34 overall, including 23-16 at home. This pitching matchup favors the home side: Osvaldo Bido is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA for the visiting side. He's pitched ten innings so far this season and I think he'll now struggle (like his team!), in this difficult road venue. Bryan Hoeing is the correct call here, he's 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA and 27-10 strikeout to walk ratio. Miami is 3-1 in its last four in trying to avenge a home loss as a fav vs. an opponent, and I expect it to add to that mark this afternoon. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Miami.

T.M. Selection: CLE - ML Paul Blackburn (0-0, 3.48 ERA) vs. Gavin Williams (0-0, 0.00 ERA) I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. After the 3-2 win yesterday, the Guardians turn to their top prospect in Gavin Williams to make his major league debut here today. Williams may not have any big league experience yet, but he's got all the tools to be a big time pitcher. These odds are too good to pass up against an A's team that's been struggling pretty much the entire season. Lay the medium price with confidence. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Guardians.

T.M. Selection: LAD - ML Clayton Kershaw (8-4, 2.95 ERA) vs. Reid Detmers (1-5, 4.48 ERA) I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. The Dodgers are underperforming right now and I expect them to start winning some more ball games here. I know they still have a winning record, but LAD is not living up to their own standards. With Kershaw on the bump, this is a great opportunity to get the team back on track. The Dodgers are a dominant 44-20 in their last 64 games played after a loss. Expect a bounce back win here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-2 Dodgers. Line: -139 Line Parameter: play until -170..

T.M. Selection: SD - moneyline Michael Wacha (7-2, 2.89 ERA) vs. Ryan Walker (2-0, 1.23 ERA) I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Although San Fran have now won seven consecutive games, I'm still not sold on their success. They've got a mediocre lineup and their pitching has been better than expected. Walker has been very good, but I expect him to get hit around a bit here against a hungry Padres team. SD is perfect in their last six games against an opponent who scored 5+ runs in their last game. Give me the veteran pitcher here today. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres. Line: -105 Line Parameter: play until -139..

T.M. Selection: Los Angeles Dodgers - ML Logan Webb (5-6. 3.45 ERA) vs. Tony Gonsolin (4-1, 1.93 ERA) I like the Los Angeles Dodgers to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Although the Dodgers don't have their entire roster from last season, they've still got loads of talent. Having said that, their home record has been incredible over the past while. They are a dominant 108-43 over their last 151 home games. Gonsolin has been a huge part in that success after his brilliant season last year. I expect them to get the job done once again to end this series here today. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Dodgers. Line: -128 Line Parameter: play until -155..

T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies - Moneyline Matt Strahm (4-3, 3.61 ERA) vs. Tommy Henry (3-1. 4.37 ERA) I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Although the Diamondbacks have had an excellent start to the year, I don't expect them to keep up this pace throughout this season. Don't get me wrong, they are very talented. But, I expect them to be an 80-85 win team at the end of the year. On the other hand, the Phillies are still underachieving. They started horribly and have made their way back a bit. With Harper fully back and Turner starting to feel more comfortable, I'm expecting them to go on a massive run over the next month. Expect them to pick up the W here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Phillies. Line: +102 Line Parameter: play until -120..

T.M. Selection: New York Yankees - Moneyline Brayan Bello (3-4, 3.97 ERA) vs. Clarke Schmidt (2-6, 4.96 ERA) I like the New York Yankees to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Although the Yankees lost the first game of this three game series on Friday. I expect them to finish it off strong with a win on Sunday Night. Schmidt hasn't been great, but he's slowly getting better after a miserable start. Bello is still just 24 and has a lot to learn. He's got the talent, but it's about execution. I expect the Yankees to get to the youngster early here and hold the lead throughout. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Yankees. Line: -114 Line Parameter: play until -145
06-10-23	A's v. Brewers -174	Top	2-1	Loss	-174	8 h 19 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Brewers - Moneyline Paul Blackburn (0-0. 6.00 ERA) vs. Julio Teheran (1-2, 1.56 ERA) I like the Milwaukee Brewers to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. The A's won again on Wednesday, winning back to back games for only the third time this season. Having said that, they are in for another big losing streak. The Brewers aren't amazing at hitting, but they should be a lot better than the A's. Blackburn's WHIP is 1.60 this year and the Brewers are a perfect 5-0 in their last five games played against pitchers with a WHIP higher than 1.30. Expect a Brewers win here today. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 Brewers. Line: -174 Line Parameter: play at 4% until -200, play at 3% until -220..

T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles - Moneyline Daniel Lynch (0-1, 4.36 ERA) vs. Tyler Wells (4-2, 3.29 ERA) I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Kansas City Royals on Friday. Both teams enter this three game weekend series on mini losing streaks. Despite having lost back to back games, the Orioles still own a very strong 37-24 record. On the other hand, the Royals are just 18-44 on the season. Looking at the pitching matchup, Wells has been very solid this year, while Lynch hasn't been amazing in his two starts. BAL is 15-5 in their last 20 games played against the Royals at home. Expect Baltimore to jump out to an early lead and keep it throughout this series opener. T.M. Prediction: 8-3 O's. Line: -161 Line Parameter: play until -195..

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline Framber Valdez (6-4, 2.17 ERA) vs. Jose Berrios (5-4, 3.66 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. Although Valdez has “lost” four games already, he's actually been one of the most dominant pitchers in the big leagues so far this season. His 2.17 ERA is among the league's best and he's now considered the ace on this championship team. Houston didn't start out amazingly, but they've sure picked things up over the past few weeks. I expect them to carry these winning ways for the rest of the season as they continue their quest to go back to back. Expect a win here in the finale of this four game series. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros. Line: -130 Line Parameter: play until -175..

T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers - Moneyline Jack Flaherty (3-4, 4.55 ERA) vs. Jon Gray (6-1, 2.51 ERA) I like the Texas Rangers to win this game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Losing DeGrom for the season is a huge blow, but luckily, the Rangers have his replacement in Jon Gray, who has been excellent so far this season. The Cardinals have been a pretty big disappointment to start this season, while the Rangers have been red hot. I don't expect STL to struggle all year, but I do expect the Rangers to continue their winning ways here in this one. It's a great spot at home in the finale of this series. Expect a TEX win. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Rangers. Line: -137 Line Parameter: play until -170..

T.M. Selection: Cleveland Guardians - Moneyline James Paxton (1-1, 4.26 ERA) vs. Shane Beiber (4-3, 3.72 ERA) I like the Cleveland Guardians to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Regardless of the pitching matchup, I believe that the Guardians own the superior team. But, if you add the starters into it, that just makes me like the Guardians that much more at this price. Beiber hasn't been perfect by any means, but he's still been very solid. He's capable of being one of the best, if not the best starter in the entire league at times. I expect a big win from CLE here today as they try and get closer to the AL Central lead. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Guardians. Line: -122 Line Parameter: play until -155..

T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres - Moneyline Kyle Hendricks (0-1, 3.86 ERA), Blake Snell (1-6, 4.50 ERA) I like the San Diego Padres to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Monday. After starting the season out very strong, the Cubs have fallen off a bit and now look to be as a “middle of the pack” team this year. San Diego didn't start out too well, but I expect them to slowly pick up more and more wins over the course of the year. Snell's record isn't good, but he's capable of dominating. I expect him to grab his second win of the season here, as the Padres win this one big. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Padres. Line: -170 Line Parameter: play until -220..

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - ML Reid Detmers (0-4, 4.93 ERA) vs. Framber Valdez (5-4, 2.38 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. Off yesterday's loss, the Astros look to bounce back here today and win this one to open up the series. The depending champs have done well against these Angels in the past, especially on their home field. In their last 74 meetings, they've won 50 of them at Minute Maid Park. Valdez has been dominant to start this season and I expect him to do well once again. Detmers, on the other hand, hasn't been very good. This line is too low. Take Houston with ease. T.M. Prediction: 9-2 Astros. Line: -164 Line Parameter: play until -190..

T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners - Moneyline Clarke Schmidt (2-5, 5.58 ERA) vs. George Kirby (5-4. 3.43 ERA) I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the New York Yankees on Wednesday. To end the month, I'm expect the Mariners to get the job done in the final game of this short three game series. Both teams have been hot lately, but the Mariners will not want to get swept or even lose this important series at home. Kirby has been very solid this season. His 4 defeats might not look amazing on his record, but his ERA is strong, even after a bad outing last time out. Schmidt hasn't been great to start this year. He's got a whopping ERA over five and it hasn't been getting much better. The M's come into this game with a perfect 4-0 record in their last four games against pitchers with a 1.30+ WHIP. I'm backing Kirby and the Mariners in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners. Line: -135 Line Parameter: play until -180..
05-26-23	Blue Jays -147 v. Twins	Top	3-1	Win	100	9 h 8 m	Show
T.M. Selection: Blue Jays. After going just 2-9 in their last 11, the as are desperate for a victory here. Fortunately for them they have the advantage in the opener of this series with Minnesota with what I believe to be the vastly superior starting pitcher on the hill tonight in this matchup. Minnesota is just 2-5 in its last seven. Kevin Gausman is 2-3 with a 3.14 ERA for the Jays, while Louie Varland is 2-0 with a 4.18 ERA for the Twins. Guasman now enters on top form though, having conceded just four earned runs over his last 21 innings of work. This line could/should in fact be larger in my professional opinion. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Toronto.

T.M. Selection: Minnesota Twins - ML Alex Cobb (3-1, 1.94 ERA) vs. Sonny Gray (4-0, 1.64 ERA) I like the Minnesota Twins to win this game against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. Even with the Giants winning the opener of this series, I expect the Twins to bounce back here in this one. They've got the better lineup, and I believe the better pitcher on the mound today. Both pitchers have been terrific to start the year, but Gray has been nearly perfect. Twins should bounce back in Game 2 of this four game series. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Twins.

T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - ML Justin Steele (6-0, 1.82 ERA) vs. Cristian Javier (3-1, 3.47 ERA) I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. As the Cubs have started to fall off a bit, the defending champs are slowly starting to climb the standings. Off Sunday's win, against the White Sox, the Astros have now won five of their last six games. Their pitching has started to come alive, and the bats are heating up. Steele has been phenomenal so far this season, don't get me wrong, but I believe that it's about time for him to see that first loss this season. Houston's definitely capable of putting up some runs, and they love seeing left handed pitchers. Expect a gem from Javier as well. Get the best line available and cheer on the 2022 champs at home.

T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies - ML I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. The Phillies are starting to heat up and it's because of their bats. With Bryce Harper back, they are a completely different ball club. They could very well win the National League once again this season. Nola hasn't been amazing, but he owns a dominant 4-1 record against the Rockies. The Phillies are also 5-0 in their last five games played on Sunday with Nola on the mound. I've got them again here. T.M. Prediction: 9-4 Phillies. Line: -157 Line Parameter: play until -180..

After stealing three games against the Cubs, the Nets have now fallen in back to back against these Diamondbacks. Now, ARI looks for the sweep, as they continue their very solid start to the season. Washington's pitching isn't very good and I expect them to get to Williams early here today. Grab the Diamondbacks. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 DBacks Line: -155 Line Parameter: play until -180..

Muller has some good stuff, but I believe that the A's are in for another rough series here against KC. Oakland just isn't good this year, once again. They are lacking in the hitting department, but most importantly, their pitching has been dreadful. Brad Keller hasn't been amazing this year, but he's been solid and another solid performance should most definitely be good enough to beat this A's team at home. The Royals are also a perfect 6-0 in Keller's last six starts after scoring 5+ runs in their last game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Royals. Line: -143 Line Parameter: play until -180..

T.M. Selection: ARI - ML Zac Gallen (4-1, 2.15 ERA) vs. Jon Gray (1-1, 3.91 ERA) I like the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. After he started the season off on the poor side, Gallen has turned it up a notch over his past four starts. In those starts, he's pitched 27 innings, given up just 10 base runners, struck out 41, and allowed no runs. On the other hand, Gray has looked a bit shaky at times this year. In the past, he's struggled against the DBacks. His ERA is 5.60 and he owns a 5-7 lifetime record against them in 18 appearances. Expect another lights out performance from Gallen, en route to a Diamondbacks win. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 DBacks. Line: -155 Line Parameter: play until -180..

After splitting the two games in the double header yesterday, I've got the Orioles here in the series finale. Baltimore has looked very sharp to open the season up, and I am not a believer in the Tigers. Neither one of these two pitchers have been very good to start this season, but Bradish should be able to settle in nicely against a weak Tigers lineup here today. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Orioles.

I know that the Padres have struggled a bit with their bats to start the season, but I think the return of Tatis is really going to get them going. He's finally hit his first HR back, and it's time for a huge Padres run. Snell hasn't been good either, but he is more than capable of throwing a gem and I think it's the perfect opportunity right here. The Cubs have been slightly better than I though they would be. I will admit, Steele has looked great. But, I do expect him to cool off a bit as he's never been amazing throughout his career. Give me the Padres here in a much needed win situation. T.M.

Off yesterday's dramatic win against the Mets, I expect the Giants to go back to themselves here today. St. Louis hasn't been all that impressive to start the year, considering the talent that they possess. However, I believe that it's just a matter of when things just all start clicking. A win here to start the new week would really get them going in the right direction. I expect them to take advantage of this opportunity. T.M. Prediction: 8-4 Cards.
