06-16-23 | Blue Jays -141 v. Rangers | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
Toronto at Texas 8:05 ET Blue Jays over Rangers- The odds makers must be messing with my head a bit as they insist on making the Blue Jays favored in difficult spots and they seem to always fall short when I was sucked in. I hate betting this team but i still believe that they are winners tonight. To start with Texas has fallen back of late dropping six of their last eight games and they will be facing Toronto’s top hurler in Kevin Gausman 5-3, 3.12 ERA) who is 4-2 with a 3.88 ERA against the Rangers in nine starts. Martin Perez (6-2, 4.67) will get the nod for the Rangers and he has had the best run support of all Texas pitchers while surrendering 87 hits in just 71 innings . Take TORONTO! |

06-16-23 | Yankees v. Red Sox -120 | 5-15 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
NY Yankees at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Yankees- This will be just the second series between baseball’s bitterest of all rivalries as the Red Sox host the Yankees after taking 2-of-3 in last weekend’s series at Yankee Stadium. Tanner Houch (3-6, 5.23 ERA) gets the start for Boston and he has fared better against the Yankees than the rest MLB as he is 2-2 with a 2.41 ERA in 10 appearances against New York. The Bronx Bombers (not without Judge) will start Domingo German (4-34, 3.49) who is 3-2 with a 3.64 ERA against the Sox and he has allowed two runs or less in six of seven starts. But, it is the Red Sox that are 17-5 at home against teams with winning records. Take BOSTON! |

06-15-23 | Angels v. Rangers -129 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -129 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
LA Angels at Texas 7:10 ET Rangers over Angels- Okay, this one should be good as MKB will showcase its biggest attraction since Babe Ruth in Shohei Othani (5-2, 3.88 ERA) who has a legitimate shot before it is over to win both the Cy Young and MVP and it could possibly happen in the same season. But, I truly do not believe it is happening this right now. He starts for the Angels tonight but his overall number from the hill are not as awesome as his a at the plate (leads majors with 21 home runs). The man that will attempted to cool Othani down is Nathan Eovaldi (9-2, 2.49) who will probably steal the CY tonight as he mows this Angels down. He has surrendered just 68 hits in 87 innings pitched. Rangers have the 2nd best record in baseball to Tampa Bay and they have scored the most runs, and more tonight off the hard throwing right-hander. Take TEXAS! |

Philadelphia at Arizona 3:40 ET Phillies over DBacks- Philadelphia is beginning to play like the team that won the NL Pennant last season and have won nine of their last 10 as their bats have come alive. The Phillies have scored 34 runs in their last four games and will be sending their No. 1 starter to the hill as Aaron Nola (5-5, 4.60 ERA) who gave up a season high for hits and runs in his last start and the outing before that he surrendered just one hit in eight innings. Arizona will send Ryan Nelson (3-3, 4.95) to the mound and he also carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning against Detroit his last time out. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Philadelphia at Arizona 9:40 ET Phillies over Diamondbacks- Liking to come back with the 15-3 Power Play winner we had yesterday and looking for Philadelphia to subdue this ratters. Arizona is a team of streaks as they had their six-game run stopped last night after taking down Phillie in Game 1 of this four game series. Tonight’s starter for the Dbcks Merrill Kelly (8-3, 2.94 ERA) is looking for his eighth straight winning decision and is 1-1 with a 1.98 ERA against the Phillies. The former Whiz-Kids are streaking themselves wining eight of their last 10. Ranger Saurez (1-2, 4.70) starts for the visitor and he has allowed just one run in each of his last two starts and gets the win here! Take PHILADELPHIA! |

NY Yankees at NY Mets 7:10 ET Mets over Yankees- The Yankees took the opener of this 2-game set at Citi Field as the Mets blew up with the umpires and on the field giving up a 4-run lead. The Yanks who usually are an all-or-nothing team from the plate and Tuesday all nine starters had hits and with two home runs. The aces of the staff for both clubs will start tonight with Gerrit Cole (7-1, 2.84 ERA) on the bump for the visitor and Justin Verlander (2-3, 4.85) on the hill for the Mets. Cole is 2-2 with a 6.75 in six career starts versus the Mets while Verlander is 9-7 with a 3.44 in 23 regular season starts against the Yankees. Mets are 5-2 in last five meetings at home. Take METS! |

Philadelphia at Arizona 11:00 ET Phillies over Diamondbacks- Before the season began we had to write previews of the upcoming season and I stated the Arizona could show the most improvement but, I really never expected them to have the best record in the NL up to this point. So, now that they have the best record in the NL and immediately become a home underdog. Philadelphia will be starting Zack Wheeler (4-4, 3.91 ERA) and he had a no-hit bid end after 7.1 innings in his last start against Detroit . Despite yesterday’s loss the Phillies have won 7-of-9. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Milwaukee at Minnesota 7:45 ET Brewers over Twins- Milwaukee has now lost four straight games three of which came via a 3-game sweep by Oakland. Yes this As team just beat the Brewers three straight. The Brewers will send Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes (5-4, 3.36 ERA) to the hill and after a rocky start has settled down in his last three starts throwing 21 innings and allowing just eight hits. Minnesota will start Pablo Lopez (3-3, 4.25) who is 1-1 lifetime against the Brewers who have won four of the last five meetings. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Toronto at Baltimore 7:05 ET Blue Jays over Orioles- This seems a bit strange to me as Baltimore has the second best record in the AL behind Tampa Bay of course and yet they are underdogs at home to the Blue Jays who they hold a 10-game lead over. This seems even more bogus when you realize that the Orioles have won their last four games. To point out more oddities we see Baltimore going 20-12 at home while Blue Jays are just 18-17 on the road. Blue Jays are 5-2 at Baltimore in the last seven. Take TORONTO! |

06-12-23 | Marlins v. Mariners -114 | 1-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Miami at Seattle 9:40 ET Mariners over Marlins- A couple of sea-farers here with one club exceeding expectations and the other like a low tide coming up short. Miami has won 12 of 15 and are 17-5 in one-run games. The Mariners were supposed to contend for the AL West Division but have yet to reach their so called potential. The Marlins will send lefty Jesus Luzardo (5-4, 3.79 ERA) to the bump and he is 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA in five4 appearances against the Sea-birds.Seattle will start Bryce Miller (3-3, 4.46) who was cruising along this season until having to face to Yankees and Ranges in consecutive starts and everything changed. Before those two outings where he gave up 15 earned runs in just seven innings to boost his ERA from 1.60 to where it is now. The Marlins line-up is certainly a step down from those two hitting clubs. Mariners are 13-3 at home against left-handed starters. Take SEATTLE! |

Cincinnati at Kansas City 8:10 ET Royals over Reds- If Oakland can win five straight why can’t Kansas City win here, Zack Grienke (1-6, 4.59 ERA) who has had a stellar career is making what I assume is his farewell tour and the way he is throwing it should be...farewell. Grienkle is 8-2, with a 2.38 ERA in 14 career starts against Cincinnati with 13 of 14 quality starts. He will be opposed by Reds right-hander Luke Weaver (1-2, 6.27) who is mist a five-game winless streak and is facing his former team with who he has a 5.59 ERA against. Hold your breather and take...KANSAS CITY! |

06-11-23 | Reds v. Cardinals -115 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 20 m | Show |
Cincinnati at St. Louis 2:15 ET Cardinals over Red(legs)- He is one of the more exciting and electric young hard throwers in the game and I am speaking of Hunter Greene (1-4, 3.92 ERA) of the former Redlegs now known as Reds. He has given up just a par hits in his last two starts and he gives up less hits than innings pitched but has issued too many free passes. St. Louis has been playing more like Dead-birds than Redbirds and will have future HOF hurler Adam Wainwright (2-1, 5.97) who in his eighteenth season is on the down side of his career (opponents are hitting .326 against him and surprisingly Cincinnati is the team that has tagged him with his most career loses as he is 11-17 with a 5.53 ERA in 40 lifetime appearances. One of those wins came this season and the Cardinals are 10-4 over the Reds in the last 14 meetings.Take ST. LOUIS! |

Boston at New York Yankees 7:35 ET Red Sox over Yankees- No Aaron Judge, no Derek Jeter, no chance!Sorry to pull that out but it is true, as Judge goes, so goes New York and they have not won a thing since the Captains retirement. Boston is hanging on about that .500 number but when playing the Yankees every thing is more intense and they are up for the challenge. This hard to take considering I am a New Yorker at heart and Tanner Houch (3-5, 5.46 ERA) is taking the mound for the Red Sox and he is not so well good, but he is facing a team that can not get out of their own way and the league MVP is on the DL. Take BOSTON! |

Houston at Cleveland 6:10 ET Indians (oops, I did it again) over Astros- This is all about Triston McKenzie (0-0, 0.00 ERA) who has pitched in only game this season a start at Minnesota where he struck out 10 Twins in five innings allowing just one hit recording 10. He was electric in that game and I can’t pass him up here. Houston has been the best team on the planet for a number of tears now but Triston is out of this world an will it will be a hard landing for he Astros! J.P. France (1-1, 3.44) get the nod for our spaceman and they have lost his last three starts. Take CLEVELAND! |

Chip’s FREE MLB Winner New York Mets at Pittsburgh 4:05 ET Pirates over Mets- New York never really thought that this 31-year old starter from Japan would be the Mets leading winner with five at any time in the season. Kodai Senga (5-3, 3.75 ERA) is tied with Jason Verlander for most Mets wins and he is off his worst and shortest start of the year lasting just 2.2 innings against the Blue jays surrendering four hits and five walks before given the rest of the night off. The Pirates will send Yohan Odviedo (3-4, 4.29) and he is off his best outing this season. But, the storyline here is the Muts are hurting and just can not win and they are 5-17 in their last 22 road games. Talk has already started about Showalter job security. Take PITTSBURGH! |

06-10-23 | Dodgers v. Phillies -105 | Top | 9-0 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
LA Dodgers at Philadelphia 7:05 ET Phillies over Dodgers- The problem for me here is that I really like the Dodgers Bobby Miller (2-0, 1.06 ERA) who just shut down the Yankees allowing only one hit in six innings and he received a no decision. Miller was the LA No. 1 draft pick in 2020 and that was his third MLB appearance and to date in 17 innings he has surrendered only nine hits with 16 strike outs and only four walks. Aaron Nola (5-4, 4.30) is considered as the Philadelphia (Megabucks winner yesterday 5-4) workhorse and has had mixed results having failed to post a winning season since 2019. Although his numbers do not necessarily show it but he has been throwing really well lately allowing just one hit in seven innings his last time out and he has only given up 67 hits in 82 innings on the year. The Phillies have won six straight and are 37-17 in their last 54 home game while the Dodgers are 2-6 in their last eight road games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

LA Dodgers at Philadelphia 7:10 ET Phillies over Dodgers- The Phillies have been playing like they still are hung over from a World Series that they really had no shot at winning. The Dodgers although a comfortable 9-games over .500 just do not appear to me to be a championship team. They are 16-17 on the road while the Phils are at least 17-10 at home and will have Ranger Suarez who picked up his first victory in his last start his fifth and this will make tow-in-a-row. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Milwaukee will send Colin Rea (3-3, 4.94) who is seeking his fourth straight win. The Orioles are 0-4 in inter-league road games against winning teams and are 0-7 their last seven in the Brew City and the Brewers are 5-1 in their Last six. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Baltimore at Milwaukee 8:40 ET Brewers over Orioles- Now that Baltimore is getting the attention the deserve I will be looking to fade them more often as they become popular with public. Milwaukee staged a late 4-3 comeback as Tuesday’s Megabucks Brewers were a winner and they are 29-4 when scoring four runs or more and just 4-24 when they do not. The Orioles will start Dean Kramer (6-2, 4.43 ERA) who has never faced the Brewers while the home team will start former Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes (4-4, 3.75) who has just one career start against the Brewers a no decision. Baltimore is just 4-11 in inter-league games against opponents with winning records and they are 0-6 in their last six games in the Brew City and 1-8 in their last nine meetings. Take MILWAUKEE! |

The Orioles are an amazing 20-10 on the road and have won eight of 10 series played away from Camden Yards and have the third best record in all of MLB. Kyle Gibson (7-3, 3.89 ERA) has won his last three starts for the O’s but is just 1-2 with a 5.67 ERA in seven career starts against Milwaukee. Veteran Freddy Peralta (5-5, 4.62) gets the nod for the Brewers and he is 4-2 with a 3.38 ERA at home and the Orioles are 0-5 in their last five meetings at Milwaukee. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at Cincinnati 7:10 ET Redlegs over Brewers- The way things have been going in baseball the past five days I believe it is best to just stay with the A-Play the single strongest play I see on the MLB board today. The meeting seems to be a bit askew with the price as Milwaukee is looking for a 4-game sweep and come up an be underdog to a rookie, left-hander Andrew Abbott (0-0, 0.00) who is making his MLB debut. The Brewers will go with 14 year veteran Julio Teheran (1-1, 0.82 ERA) who make just one appearance in 2022 and only 12 stats the last three seasons. In his career Teheran is 3-4 with a 4.14 ERA in nine career starts against Cincinnati and the Brewers are 2-5 in their last seven against lefties. I know the Reds are not so good but this young hurler started in Double-A and has risen quickly through the system to the bigs. Take CINCINNATI! |

Baltimore at San Francisco 4:05 ET Giants over Orioles- It took 58 games but the Giants have scratched and clawed all the way back to reached .500 at 29-29. Yesterday’s Power Play win with SF should be repeated here Sunday as a Megabucks winner with San Francisco sending Anthony DeScalafani (4-4, 3.48 ERA) to the bump against Baltimore’s Tyler Wells (3-2, 3.29). Wells has been truly amazing allowing just 40 hits in 63 innings pitched all in 11 appearances giving up more than four hits only three times. Traveling west has not been a good experience for the Orioles as they are 4-10 against the NL West and the Giants are 5-2 in their last seven inter-league games. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

His opponent pitching for Toronto will be Yusei Kikuchi (6-2, 4.47) and immigration has hit MLB with a pair of Japanese starters taking the mound.

Tampa Bay at Boston 1:35 ET Red Sox over Rays- The aura of the Rays is starting to tarnish a bit as they lost their opportunity to go undefeated this season. But, they are still one of the toughest line-ups to deal with from top to bottom with putting the bat on the ball by keeping it in play as well as leading the MLB in home runs. Tampa Bay has dropped 3-of-5 and will send rookie Tai Bradley (3-2, 3.60 ERA) to the hill and he is off his best performance of the season shutting down the Cubs in a 1-0 victory. Boston will start Tanner Houck (3-4, 5.30) who won his first three decisions the last of which came on April 20 and it has been the long ball that has done him in surrendering seven dingers in just 53 innings. The Rays are just 5-11 in their last 16 road games against teams with winning records and 1-4 in their last five games at Boston while the Red Sox are 5-1 versus the AL East.Take BOSTON! |

New York will send undefeated and Cy Young candidate Gerrit Cole (6-0, 2.93 ERA) to the hill and he has been racked for five earned runs in each of his last two starts but was bailed out by a load of Aaron Judge homers. The Dodgers will send rookie Michael Grove (0-1, 8.44) out against what is not such a formidable line-up even with whiff artist Stanton back. Somehow it is LOS ANGELES! |

Last night former Mets pitcher Chris Bassitt shut New York down for 7.2 innings. The Blue Jays as we have seen before just do not seem to be as good as more people expected or hoped.

Baltimore at San Francisco 10:15 ET Giants over Orioles- This seems to be an awful high price to have to pay to back a .500 team against Baltimore who is off to their best start (35-21) since the glory years. But, San Francisco after a slow start to the season has played better ball of late going 17-12 in May while the Orioles keep singing with some of the best young talent in the AL starting to mature as players. Dean Kramer (5-2, 4.58) has had great offensive support while his counterpart from the Giants Logan Webb (4-5, 2.75) has thrown better with less results. What this price is telling me is that Webb who won his last five starts will contain the Orioles offense...and for how long before the bullpen takes over. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

It pains me to play against Texas as I posted them to be the surprise winner (that is one reason I hate making preseason predictions having to pay against my self.) What I see is the home club being given no advantage (by the odds-makers) here when they are a far superior club. Last season the Mariners went 14-5 against Texas including 73 in the Lone Star State.

Minnesota who is barely over .500 and lead the Central will start Pablo Lopez (3-3, 4.11 ERA) who pitched once against the Indians when he was with Miami and picked up a win.

Chicago was expected to contend for the AL Central but find themselves 11 games under .500. LA has dropped 4-of-5 after winning 4-straight at home. The White Sox have shown some life lately winning five of six against right-handed starters and will have Lance Lynn (4-5, 5.83 ERA) has won his last three starts and has picked up the pace.

Seattle has won six of their last seven and the Yankees have moved to nine games over .500 after a poor start to the season. New York always seems to be in the middle of something and Domingo German (2-3, 3.75 ERA) who has had issues on and off the field is off a 10-day suspension for using too much sticky-stuff and is making his first start since May 16.

St. Louis at Chicago Cubs 7:40 ET Cardinals over Cubs- Can the Cardinals Jack Flaherty (2-4, 6.29 ERA) be any worse. One of the National League’s most effective starters having won 26 games while losing just 14 for a 65% winning average the last four seasons can not get anyone out even Aaron Hicks! He was bombed for 10 earned runs in his last outing against the Angels and has had very little control. Look for a turn around here. The Cardinals love beating their arch rivals and are 21-8 in the last 29 meetings including 12-4 at Chicago. Take ST. LOUIS! |

Philadelphia once again is off to a slow start but as Bryce Harper returns so does the Phillies winning ways. Last year the MVP carried the Whiz-kids to the NL pennant and he is doing it again for the struggling club. Aaron Nola (2-2, 4.64 ERA) 0-2 with a 5.48 lifetime ERA against the Blue Jays will start for the home team and Alek Manoah (1-2, 4.71) who was a sensation last season in seven starts this year has 21 walks in just 36 innings.Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Los Angeles is 67-31in the last 98 meetings and treats San Diego like a red-headed step-child. but, this season the Padres are drawing a line in the sand and have powered up and look to over take the bullies from 90 miles north.

The Rangers will start martin Perez (4-1, 2.41 ERA) and he has been their most consistent hurler and is 8-6 with a 3.87 ERA in 23 career appearances against the Angles.

Oakland at Kansas City 2:10 ET A’s over Royals- There is no way that his Oakland team should ever be favored on the road even against the like of a club as weak as the Royals. These may be the two worst teams in MLB this season and the A’s have a chance to break the Mets 1962 record of 140 losses. But, they have found one bright spot and that is Mason Miller (0-1, 3.91 ERA) who in his only start in Triple-A pitched five perfect innings with 11 strikeouts before being call to the Show and last time out he pitched seven innings of no-hit ball against Seattle before being removed.

But, San Diego has put the NL on notice and they are starting to hit as a team and are 5-1 at home and 4-0 against the NL West.

Pittsburgh started the season 20-8 and there was a buzz starting to surround their sudden rise, but alas, they have now dropped five straight and are facing a team coming out of their own five-game losing streak. Toronto was lucky enough to be playing Pittsburgh to end their down turn and now send Jose Berrios (2-3, 5.29 ERA) who was racked by the Red Sox last time out giving up 11 hits in five innings. Blue jays are 6-0 in the last six meetings including 5-0 in the Steel City. The Pirates are 23-54 in their last 77 inter-league games. Take TORONTO! |

Houston will start Cristian Javier (2-1, 3.48 ERA) and on the bump for Seattle will be Luis Castillo (2-0, 1.82). The Mariners have started to put it together and have won their last four.

Cincinnati will send Hunter Greene (0-1, 2.89) and last Saturday matched his season high of 10 strikeouts.

The Braves are already 5-1 against Miami this season but will face the Marlins best hurler in Jesus Luzardo (2-1, 3.48 ) and they are 5-1 as a team when he starts.

Minnesota at Chicago White Sox 2:10 ET White Sox over Twins- We have said it more time than can be counter and that is that baseball is a game of streaks...long streaks. The Chicago White Sox had lost 10 straight and have now turned things around (possibly) winning their last three. To me it does not matter who is pitching or what else is happening I will play on the White Sox until their current win streak ends. The fact that Minnesota is 17-38 in their last 55 road games does not hurt our cause either including 1-4 in their last five at Chicago. Take CHICAGO WHITE SOX! |

The Red Birds will start Jack Flatery (2-3, 3.94) who was banged around by the Dodgers in his last start surrendering dive runs, seven hits in 4.2 innings.

Cleveland at New York 7:05 ET Guardians over Yankees- I have been saying it for years while Brian Cashman has been the Yankees GM that they are not built for the playoffs. Now, after playing decades in the weak AL East New York has some competition in the division and are currently in last place. The Bronx Bombers are shooting with pop guns at the plate as their power hitters have been sidelined with both Arron Judge and Mike Stanton inactive. The former Tribes-mens will start Justin Beiber (2-1, 3.11 ERA) and his mound opponent is one of the Yankees weakest links in Clarke Schmidt (0-3, 6.84) who has yet to post a quality start.

Arizona is starting Zac Gallen (4-1, 2.15 ERA) and have won four of their last six while Gallen has gone four starts without allowing a run covering 28 innings and four wins. Texas will send Jon Gray (1-1, 3.91) to the hill and he has struggled with his control this season and is 5-7 with a 5.60 ERA against Arizona.

Since reaching that milestone Kluber has won just 18 games. One of those wins was i his most recent start as he shut down the high scoring Orioles. Jose Berrios (2-3, 4.71) the Toronto starter has had eight straight winning seasons five of which happened while a member of the Twins.

Yankee bats have gone silent with Judge and Stanton sidelined but, today they will send their most effective starter over the past two seasons and that is Nestor Cortes (3-1, 3.49 ERA) who has allowed three runs or less in 17 consecutive starts.

New York Yankees at Texas 7:10 ET Rangers over Yankees- I realize that the Rangers are greatly improved but to see them open this big a favorite against the Yankees is a bit surprising. New York is having problems not only does the club have major flaws (not according to GM Cashman) and now are without Aaron Judge and the over-rated and injury plagued Michael Giancarlo (I can’t play today and I won’t hustle if I do.) Stanton. Former Yankee Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.20 ERA) get a shot at his former team while Jhony Brito (2-2, 6.11) take the hill for New York.

Ace right-hander Zack Wheeler (2-1, 4.73 ERA) gets the nod for Philadelphia and he has won his last two starts and he will be opposed by Cristian Javier (2-0. 3.21) who in his lone start against the Phils pitched six no-hit innings in a combined team no-hitter.
