MATT HARVEY (R) vs. GERMAN MARQUEZ (R) Harvey the Mets starter is 1-2 with a 5.49 ERA overall. He went 0-2 with a 7.00 ERA in eight games (four starts) with the New York Mets and is 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA in three starts for the Reds and is fade material here today in Colorado. Harvery is 0-1, 7.94 in one start at Coors Field in May 2016.COLORADO is 7-2 against the money line vs. an NL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.250 or better this season. The Reds have had a hard time vs RHP like Marquez, going 14-31 in their last 45 games vs. a right-handed starter and have lost 12 of 17 on the road vs orthodox pitchers.Rockies are 5-0 in Marquezs last 5 home starts vs. a team with a losing record. The Reds took out the Rockies yesterday by a 6-5 count ,coming from behind for the win, but it must be noted that the Rockies have won 19 straight games as a favorite of more than 125 when they are off a loss as a favorite in which they led the lead, winning by an average of more than 5 runs per game.Reds are also 0-5 in their last 5 games following a win.

Astros RH Gerrit Cole (5-1, 1.86 ERA) vs. Indians RH Trevor Bauer (4-3, 2.35) Gerrit Cole the Astros starter today is getting all the headlines, because of his top tier start to this campaign (5-1 1.86 ERA), but his pitching opponent and former UCLA teammate Bauer is no pushover and has garnered a stingy 1.93 ERA in his L/3 starts and is every bit as strong looking as Cole is at the moment. Bauer has not allowed a run in his last two outings, permitting just 11 hits on just two walks and 16 strikeouts in 14 innings of quality work. Yesterday, the Indians showed some positive energy by blasting 4 HRs in a 8-6 win vs the Astros, and I;m betting on them feeding off that today and notch a win. Indians are 29-13 in their last 42 home games vs. a right-handed starter and are 35-16 in their last 51 during game 4 of a series and are also 47-21 in their last 68 home games. BAUERs team is 14-2 in his starts against the money line in home games against AL West opponents in his career.

LANCE MCCULLERS JR. (R) vs. CARLOS CARRASCO (R) Houston has won the first two games of the series by a combined score of 19-4 and once again look like they matchup very well against the Tribe.On May 20 in Houston, McCullers and the Astros beat Carrasco and the Indians 3-1 and a repeat type performance is a strong possibility. Note: HOUSTON is 15-3 against the money line in road games after a win by 8 runs or more over the last 3 seasons which happened yesterday. CLEVELAND is 4-12 against the money line vs. excellent defensive catchers - allowing 0.35 or less SB's/game this season.

05-26-18 | Diamondbacks v. A's -150 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
CLAY BUCHHOLZ (R) vs. DANIEL MENGDEN (R) Losers of seven straight and 13 of 14 before making the trip to Oakland, Arizona was in a full nose dive entering play here in Oakland yesterday, until a miraculous complete team effort buoyed them to a win yesterday in the the opening game in this series. However, their inconsistency remains an issue, and I'm doubting they have suddenly found their way out of this slump just yet and I'm betting against them here in this spot. The DBacks will send former Boston Red Sox starter out for his 10th career start against the A's. He has a winning record ( 4-2 ) vs the As but has a troubling 6.85 ERA in the first nine.He has not enjoyed pitching at the Coliseum in Oakland, going 1-2 with a 9.58 ERA in three starts. Meanwhile, As starter Mengden (4-4, 3.30) has never faced the Diamondbacks, but h has gone 3-3 with a 3.74 ERA in seven interleague starts. The righty hurler has looked to be in top form in May, allowing just four earned runs in 24 2/3 innings over four starts and get the nod again here. Diamondbacks are 1-10 in their last 11 games vs. a right-handed starter. Diamondbacks are 0-5 in their last 5 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter.Athletics are 5-1 in Mengdens last 6 starts after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. OAKLAND is 21-10 against the money line after a 3 game span where the bullpen threw 13 total innings or more over the last couple of seasons.

DYLAN BUNDY (R) vs. LUCAS GIOLITO (R) Baltimore enters this tilt vs the White Sox experiencing a disappointing season to this point, while the Pale Hose have been exhibiting an uptick in their performance date as they shake themselves out a funk off their own after having won 4 of their L/5 games and are off a 11-1 smash down of the O's yesterday. Baltimore will now send the supposed ace of their pitching staff right-hander Dylan Bundy (2-6, 4.70 ERA) out to the hill to make his 11th start of the season. The power pitcher has really struggled of late as he mimics his teams lack of success. Since April 26, Bundy is 1-4 with a 9.41 ERA in five starts. He has allowed 23 earned runs in 22 innings, including 12 home runs and he has given up at least three home runs in three of his past four starts. His mechanics are way off and he is telegraphing his pitches, and once again looks like fade material vs a team that feeling a lot more confident of late and starting to heat up offensively. BALTIMORE is 0-11 against the money line after scoring 4 runs or less 3 straight games this season.BALTIMORE is 0-10 against the money line after a 3 game span with an OBP of .260 or worse this season.

LUIZ GOHARA (L) vs. JAKE ARRIETA (R) Braves starter Gohara, is a big strong 6-foot-3, 265 pounds hurler , that made five starts for Atlanta at the end of the 2017 season . In those efforts he registered 31 strikeouts in 29 1/3 innings. The Phillies thrower is under rated according to my own power rankings and matches up well vs this Philly lineup. Meanwhile, Arietta the Phillies starting pitcher, is in top form of late, but has seen his team lose 12 of his L/19 starts vs divisional opposition and his L/4 starts overall . ARRIETA is 3-10 L/13 against the money line when the total is 8 to 8.5 . ATLANTA is 7-1 against the money line in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 54% to 62%) this season. ATLANTA is 9-3 against the money line in road games vs. poor fielding teams - averaging 0.75+ errors/game over the last 2 seasons.ATLANTA is 15-5 against the money line as an underdog of +100 to +150 this season and is 11-2 against the money line as a road underdog of +100 to +150 this season.

BRANDON MCCARTHY (R) vs. VINCENT VELASQUEZ (R) I said it before this season started, that the Atlanta Braves would be a dark horse possibility, and I'm now saying that their recent top tier play is not an anomaly, but their opponents the Phillies, strong performance to this point in the season might be. The Braves have been especially strong on the road where they have recorded 17 wins in 26 games. They lost yesterday to the Phillies, by a 3-0 count, but today I expect the Braves to bounce back. Note:Braves are 4-0 in their starters McCarthys last 4 starts when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game . Braves are also 5-1 in McCarthys last 6 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Meanwhile, the Phillies starter Velasquez has seen his team lose 15 of his last 22 starts vs. a team with a winning record like the Braves .Phillies are also just 5-12 in Velasquezs last 17 home starts.VELASQUEZ is 0-8 L/8 against the money line vs. teams outscoring opp by 1 or more runs/game on the season dating back to last season.Phillies are 1-5 in Velasquezs last 6 starts vs. Braves.

GERMAN MARQUEZ (R) vs. WALKER BUEHLER (R) The Dodgers are on a 5 game win streak, after finishing off a east coast road trip by sweeping the Nationals . But now after travelling all the way back out to the West coast last night and now tired and in the precarious situation of having to get acclimated to being home again. I now expect the Dodgers will be prone to a let down situation against a Colorado team that travels well as is evident by their 18-11 away record and are 13-4 record against the money line as a road underdog of +100 or higher this season Note: LA DODGERS are 7-13 against the money line as a home favorite of -110 or higher this season The Rockies will send right-hander German Marquez to the mound Monday . He has pitched his best ball away from the launching pad known as Coors field posting a 2.25 ERA in his five road starts. He is an under rated hurler who gives the Rockies a great opportunity for a outright underdog victory. Dodgers are 0-6 in their last 6 home games vs. a right-handed starter . LA DODGERS are 7-15 against the money line vs. teams outscored by opp by 0.5 or more runs/game on the season this season.

ALEX WOOD (L) vs. STEPHEN STRASBURG (R) Strasburg the Nats starter today is in top form of late, going 3-0 along with garnering a stingy 2.61 ERA in his L/3 trips to the hill and gets my support here today vs a LA Dodgers team tht has lost 19 of their L/27 games vs a RHP starter. Meanwhile, Alex Wood the Dodgers starter is a off a good effort last time out, but that has not been a recipe for continued success as his team is 0-4 when he is off a quality outing. STEPHEN STRASBURG is 14-0 against the money line in May games over the last 3 seasons. WOOD is 6-18 against the money line in day games in his career. Someone seems to like Sunday baseball. STRASBURG teams when he starts are 28-4 against the money line when playing on Sunday .Nationals are 58-18 in Strasburgs last 76 starts. Nationals are 14-3 in game 3 of a series.

MIKE CLEVINGER (R) vs. CHARLIE MORTON (R) Clevinger the Indians starter is in top form, as is evident by his 3-0 record and stingy 2,70 ERA. He has pitched some of his best ball on the road recording a 10-5 record along with a 3.22 ERA in 24 appearances (19 starts) . The Tribes right hander will now face a Houston team that has been futile at home from a offensive perspective scoring just 3.9 rpg on a nasty looking .223 team BA. Clevinger, is 1-1 along with a minuscule 1.04 ERA in two starts versus the Astros. It must be noted that HOUSTON is 0-6 against the money line in home games vs. a starting pitcher whose gives up 5.5 or less hits/start this season and is is 0-5 against the money line in home games vs. a starting pitcher whose strikes out 5 or more batters per start this season. Clevinger qualifies under both these trends. Meanwhile, the Astros will return fire with Charlie Morton who is also in top from with a 5-0 record along with a 2.03 ERA. He is looking good , but according to my cross reference pitcher vs Batting order power rankings, does not matchup excessively well vs the Tribes hitters.Edwin Encarnacion and Jason Kipnis have Homered in a combined nine at-bats versus Morton, who is a lowly 0-2 with a 5.56 ERA in two starts versus Cleveland. Cleveland has won 24 of the 34 meetings since the Astros joined the AL in 2013, including five of six during this campaign. Indians are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Houston. HOUSTON is 9-16 L/25 against the money line in home games after allowing 3 runs or less 3 straight games. MLB Any team (HOUSTON) - average offensive team (4.4 to 4.9 runs/game) against a very good starter (ERA 3.50 or less) (AL), with an excellent bullpen whose ERA is 3.00 or better on the season are 43-75 L/5 seasons for a go against 64% conversion rate for bettors.

CHAD BETTIS (R) vs. JEFF SAMARDZIJA (R) Right-handers Chad Bettis (4-1, 3.12 ERA) of the Rockies and Jeff Samardzija (1-2, 6.94) of the Giants are the two starting pitchers in this series opener. Bettis in 5 road starts owns a stingy 1.35 ERA and that is where his 4-1 record has been garnered. Meanwhile, his Giants pitching opponent SAMARDZIJA has not liked pitching at home in AT &T this season as is evident by recording a ugly 8.30 ERA in two starts, and recently has notched a equally nasty 7.36 ERA in his L/3 trips to the hill, allowing 12 ERS spanning 14.7 innings of sub par work. Needless to say Bettis is in better form and gets my backing here tonight. Giants are 1-5 in Samardzijas last 6 starts vs. a team with a winning record.Giants are 1-4 in Samardzijas last 5 starts vs. Rockies. BETTIS is 30-19 against the money line in all games over the last 2 seasons.

ERIC LAUER (L) vs. CHAD KUHL (R) To open the series Thursday, the Padres will send out rookie left-hander Eric Lauer (1-2, 8.27 ERA) against Pirates right-hander Chad Kuhl (4-2, 4.17). I don't regularly lay a lot of lumber, but the averages according to my head to head power rankings are on our side in this spot, and worth the extra outlay. The Pirates have clobbered southpaws like Lauer this season, for an average 5.9 rpg via powerful .286 team BA. Yes, I know the Padres have been playing decently of late, but that has not been a recipe for success for this team In the past as is evident by their 8-25 record against the money line after having won 3 of their last 4 games over the last couple of seasons.
MLB Road underdogs with a money line of +150 or more (SAN DIEGO) - with a good bullpen that converts on 75%+ of their save opportunities, in May games are just 18-59 L/5 seasons for a go against 77% conversion rate for bettors on the blind. Play on Pittsburgh Pirates to win on the moneyline |

Meanwhile, I know the Rays are dealing with some nagging injuries, but I'm betting they still have enough offensive weapons to get the job done this afternoon vs a Royals team that are ranked last in the majors with a 5.48 ERA, including 5.64 from the bullpen - the second-highest average in mlb.. KANSAS CITY is 5-20 against the money line against right-handed starters this season. KANSAS CITY is 4-13 against the money line when the money line is +125 to -125 this season.

Sabathia, owned the BoSox last season going 4-0 with a 1.04 ERA in four starts and is my choice tonight vs another strong pitcher in Rodriguez, who despite a s strong start to his campaign has given up 5 runs in back to back trips to the hill. It must be noted that after a strong start to their season , Boston has lost 9 of their L/17 and not operating at a high level , while the Yankees are red hot winning 7 straight and look to be run away freight train that you want to ride and not stand in front of in their current form.

Pirates RH Trevor Williams (4-2, 2.63 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Reynaldo Lopez (0-2, 2.43) Pirates starter Williams has held opposition hitters to a .193 batting average, and he also owns a viable 3-1 record and an ERA of 1.69 in interleague play, and must be respected here as a short favorite. The Pirates currently own a 7-2 record in interleague play this season, and have the edge vs a struggling White Sox team has lost 4 straight games and 8 of their L/9 overall. Pittsburgh also owns a 23-9 against the AL Central dating to June 15, 2015. I know the Pale Hose starter Lopez has been very capable this season, but with a offense that is capable of very little run support he is currently fade material. Note: HURDLE is 34-18 against the money line vs. an AL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.300 or better as the manager of PITTSBURGH. The White Sox are a team that rarely takes advantage of any teams weaknesses because of a inconsistent offense as is obvious by their 4-16 record against the money line vs. an overused bullpen that pitches more than 3.2 innings per game this season and struggle against strong defensive teams like the Pirates as they are 2-13 against the money line vs. good fielding teams - averaging 0.6 or less errors/game this season.

HYUN-JIN RYU (L) vs. ZACK GODLEY (R) The Arizona Diamondbacks are off to the best start in franchise history, and must be respected a viable investment option on the money-line in this tilt vs the LA Dodgers. Arizona (21-8) has won seven of eight against the Dodgers this season and 13 of the last 14 regular-season games and are my choice again tonight. The Dodgers starter is

MARCUS STROMAN (R) vs. FERNANDO ROMERO (R) The Twins are in a horrendous slump and have lost 12 of their L/13 games. They have lost 8 of their 9 vs a right handed starter like Stroman. I know the Twins have called upon their top minor league pitching prospect Romero, but facing a potent Blue Jays lineup in his first big league start does not look like a viable situation for the kid. The Blue Jays have averaged 5.6 rpg on the road this season, and their bull pen has been in good form as is evident by a 2.23 road ERA. I'm betting Stroman who has struggled so far this season gets enough run support and bullpen support for the Jays to come out of this with a win this afternoon. Twins are 0-6 in their last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. Blue Jays are 6-0 L/6 vs Central Division teams. MINNESOTA is 4-20 against the money line in home games vs. a team with a good bullpen that converts on 75%+ of their save opportunities dating back to last season.MINNESOTA is 46-76 against the money line in home games against right-handed starters over the last 3 seasons and is 26-44 against the money line in home games in day games during the same time period.

: Rockies RH Jon Gray (2-4, 5.79 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Kyle Hendricks (2-1, 3.10) Cubs starting pitchers have not allowed an earned run in 33 2/3 innings – and I'm betting on Kyle Hendricks who owns a1.38 ERA at home this season to be in top form here today vs a Colorado Rockies team, that has scored just 4 runs in their L/4 games. I know the Cubs bats have not been much better, but its just a matter of time before they tee off on a pitcher, and today looks like a good opportunity as Jon Gray remains very inconsistent. Note: GRAYs team in his starts is is 2-15 against the money line in road games when working on 5 or 6 days rest . CHICAGO CUBS are 14-3 L/17 against the money line after 2 straight games with no home runs. MLB Road teams (COLORADO) - after scoring 2 runs or less against opponent after a combined score of 5 runs or less 4 straight games are 13-38 L/5 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 76% for bettors.

FELIX HERNANDEZ (R) vs. JAMES SHIELDS (R)
Former Cy Young award winner Felix Hernandez is not as consistent as he was earlier in his career. Recently he has accumulated a ugly 7.80 ERA in 3 road starts this season, and does not deserve the lofty expectations the public continually expects of him. Don't get me wrong he is still better than 80% of the pitchers in this league, but at the moment in his current form , as a road fav is not a viable option. Yes, not even vs a struggling White Sox side. With that said, I'm betting on this being a good go against value line option this Wednesday afternoon, in the Windy City taking the South Siders to win on the moneyline. CHI WHITE SOX are 19-14 against the money line as a home underdog of +125 to +175 dating back to last season. CHI WHITE SOX are 14-6 against the money line in home games vs. teams whose hitters draw 3 walks or less/game dating back to last season.

RICK PORCELLO (R) vs. J.A. HAPP (L)
Rick Porcello the BoSox starter has looked to be in top form, to this point in the season, as is evident by recording a 4-0 mark and a stingy 1.40 ERA on the season, and a extremely miniscule 0.79 ERA in his two road starts. I'm betting on him out dueling the Blue Jays starter Happ, and notching the Red Sox 14th win in their L/19 games played at the Rogers Center in Toronto. Whether this is an anomaly or not it must be noted that BOSTON is 23-3 against the money line when playing on Tuesday over the last couple of seasons. TORONTO is 0-6 against the money line in home games off 2 straight road losses against a division rival over the last 3 seasons. MLB Home teams (TORONTO) - very good offensive team (5.4or more runs/game) against a very good starting pitcher (ERA3.50 or less) (AL), playing on Tuesday are just 29-65 L/22 seasons for a go against 69% conversion rate for bettors.

Note: The Red Sox are 0-9 L/9 when Rick Porcello starts as a dog when they won in his last start. Angels are 5-0 in Skaggs' last 5 starts.
Red Sox are 4-9 in Porcellos last 13 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. I know the Halos got smacked around last night when Japanese Phenom Ohtani faced his first real challenge, but I now expect a red face angels squad to be ready to rebound.The Angels are 13-0 L/13 as a money-line favorite past the first game of a series after their starter pitched less than 3 innings last game.

Despite of the DBacks starting pitcher struggling a bit in his first two starts, he has performed well in the past vs the Giants, as is evident by a 4-1 record along with a 2.82 ERA in nine outings. Ray was 3-0 with a 1.48 ERA in four starts vs the Giants last sseason while striking out 29 in 24 1/3 innings He goes against a SF side, that has lost four in a row scoring fewer than two runs in three of the losses.

Both these quality pitchers face strong offenses, but Price according to my pitcher vs offense power rankings suggests we have enough value to take the road underdog. The Angels have the best run differential in baseball at plus-48 with the Red Sox second at plus-42. PRICE team when he starts is 35-13 against the money line in road games vs. teams whose hitters draw 3 walks or less/game.. whether this is an anomaly or not its still worth mentioning that BOSTON is 22-3 against the money line when playing on Tuesday dating back to last season.Red Sox are 10-1 in their last 11 games on natural surface .Angels are 2-12 in their last 14 games following an off day.

White Sox RH Miguel Gonzalez (0-2, 8.68 ERA) vs. Athletics RH Trevor Cahill (2017: 4-3, 4.93) Neither of these pitchers inspire me. One has struggled and the other has been in the minors to this point in the season. The edge however I'm betting comes via the rested starter Gonzalez who has not pitched in 8 days, and will be very fresh for this tilt. I know the As are expecting a sell out tonight because of a huge promotion, but this only guarantees a festive atmosphere, that both teams will feed off. I have enough edge here to take a swing for the fences via viable underdog investment situation.

Angels RH Nick Tropeano (2016: 3-2, 3.56 ERA) vs. Royals RH Ian Kennedy (1-0, 0.75) Having two way Japanese star Shohei Ohtani in their lineup the Angels are fast becoming a public team. He homered in the first three games he started as the designated hitter, but didn't smack a bleacher smash last time out. He is still however, hitting .364 with a 1.190 one-base-plus-slugging percentage and has already become the talk of MLB baseball fans and bettors alike. Because of this the Halos are now a public team, which sometimes could taint their lines , which I;m betting is the case tonight, especially with Royals right-hander Ian Kennedy on the hills for the Royals. The RH, is 1-0 along with a 0.75 ERA in his first two starts. In two starts against the Angels last season, Kennedy was 2-0 with an 0.64 ERA and get the nod again.

Today I'm expecting he will be just as strong, but with a different won loss result. Note: Indians are 7-1 in Klubers last 8 road starts and the Angels are 1-5 in their last 6 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Meanwhile, Skaggs the Halos starter also did well on opening day, but according to my own data, and pitcher vs offense power rankings does not matchup well vs the Indians batting order and is 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA in three career starts against Cleveland.Indians are 8-0 in their last 8 road games vs. a left-handed starter.

Rangers senior citizen right-hander Bartolo Colon will face Oakland's Andrew Triggs, in the series opener of this series. As hurler Trigg's had surgery last season, and said to be looking pretty fresh . Prior to this operation he displayed some solid skills, and must be respected here tonight vs a Texas team struggling to find their offensive cohesiveness. Triggs has been amazing in his young career against the Rangers as is evident by allowing just one earned run and five hits in 12 2/3 innings (0.71 ERA) in three outings, including two starts. Meanwhile, Colon, pudgier than ever, and looking completely out of shape takes to the hill for the Rangers, well past his prime. Colon is well respected, but might be better off as a pitching coach at this stage in his life. In his last MLB stint he registered a ugly 2-8 run with a nasty looking 8.14 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in 14 starts . When considering the As explosive long ball batting order I suspect the fly ball pitcher will be batting practice participant in this event. Note: Colon will be backed by a tired bull pen. TEXAS is 2-13 L/15 against the money line after a 2 game span where the bullpen threw 9 total innings or more over the last couple seasons. Texas Manager BANISTER is 0-9 against the money line after 2 straight losses by 6 runs or more.

MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (2017: 5-9, 3.77 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Taijuan Walker (9-9, 3.49) Dodgers No. 5 starter Hyun-Jin Ryu is set to face D-backs' No. 4 Taijuan Walker on Monday.Walker was 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA in three regular-season starts against the Dodgers last year, winning twice at Dodger Stadium.

QUOTE: "When I heard that, I wanted to throw up," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "I really don't know any other way to put it. Our club has just battled through a bunch of nagging injuries in spring training and early in the season." END QUOTE: Cleveland starting pitcher Bauer owns a 2.25 ERA in four career starts at Safeco Field and gets the nod vs Seattle starter Leake, who despite of being 3-1 after being acquired by the Mariners last season, suffered that lone loss vs Seattle. CLEVELAND is 28-14 L/42 against the money line when the money line is +125 to -125. CLEVELAND is 41-17 against the money line in road games after a win which was the case yesterday.

Indians RH Carlos Carrasco (2017: 18-6, 3.29 ERA) vs. Mariners LH James Paxton (2017: 12-5, 2.98) Indians starter today Carrasco went 18-6 with a 3.29 ERA last season when he tied for the American League lead in victories and finished fourth in the Cy Young voting. He's a quality hurler that deserves our respect in this spot. The Venezuelan was 11-2 with a 2.65 ERA on the road in 2017. I know his pitching opponent Paxton is also a top quality hurler, but the Indians are a good fastball hitting team, and against the fire baller Paxton should not be over whelmed. PAXTON is 0-2 when starting against CLEVELAND with an ERA of 3.37 and a WHIP of 1.406. Cleveland lost 2-1 to Seattle yesterday, but it must be noted that SEATTLE is just 17-30 against the money line after scoring 2 runs or less and are 2-8 L/10 under the same perimeters.

Angels LH Tyler Skaggs (2017: 2-6, 4.55 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Sean Manaea (2017: 12-10, 4.37) Injury prone Tyler Skaggs starts for the Angels tonight vs their hosts the Oakland As. Last season when he came off the disabled list he registered just one win in 11 starts. The kids got great stuff and that's why the Halos stick with him, but he just can't seem to get it all together or garner run support when he does. Skaggs has never beaten the Athletics - as he has recorded a 0-4 record along with a bloated 6.26 ERA in five career meetings and is fade material vs Billy Beans under rated squad in this spot. Meanwhile, the As starter Manaea had a strong spring, going 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA in 10 2/3 innings of quality work. He's very hard on LH hitters, who have hit just .207 against him in his career, and has been solid at home in the Coliseum, as is evident by recording a 11-6 mark along with a solid 3.55 ERA in 27 games (26 starts). Manaea beat the Angles 3-1 last September throwing six innings of shutout ball, while allowing five just hits. He gets my support . OAKLAND is 18-7 L/25 against the money line in home games after a win by 2 runs or less dating back to last season.Angels are 0-5 in their last 5 road games vs. a left-handed starter.Athletics are 10-2 in their last 12 home games.

Odorizzi has a great deal of experience vs. the O's from his AL East days, going 2-0 with a 3.10 ERA vs. them in '17 and he gets my attention and money here today. Meanwhile, Orioles starter Bundy will make his first career Opening Day start against the Twins at Camden Yards. He was regarded highly as the season progressed last season, and finally ended up the ace of the staff, despite of not looking all that great late in the season, as is evident by a 7.54 ERA in his L/3 starts .

Last night I watched the Dodgers find a way past the Astros. I wanted to get a better feel of what to expect before pulling the trigger on any game in this series. Tonight I'm ready to fire off my first shot . It must be noted that in four appearances (three starts) in this postseason, Verlander the Astros starter vs the Dodgers this evening owns a 1.46 ERA over 24 2/3 innings, striking out 24 with six walks. Each time the veteran hurler Verlander has gone to the hill this October, the Astros have come away with a victory and I'm betting on nothing changing tonight. HOUSTON is 12-3 against the money line in road games vs. NL teams scoring 4.5 or more runs/game on the season .VERLANDER team record is 12-5 against the money line when playing against a team with a winning record this season.HOUSTON is 42-19 L/61 against the money line in an inter-league game .

Yankees RH Luis Severino (1-0, 5.56 ERA) vs. Astros RH Justin Verlander (3-0, 2.04) I'm betting the Astros will stay alive one more day and force a decisive Game 7 of the AL Championship Series when they host the New York Yankees in Game 6 on Friday. The Astros new ace Justin Verlander looked good when facing the Yankees and Severino in Game 2 as he earned the victory in a complete game. That was the veteran rightys third win in as many 2017 postseason outings and he's not finished yet. Verlander is 8-0 with a 1.39 ERA in eight appearances since arriving in a trade from the Detroit Tigers on Aug. 31 and expect his record to stay untarnished after this tilt is said and done.

The Cubs will be primed and motivated to get a much needed win here , and I'm betting we see them at their very best in game 3 of this NL series vs the Dodgers. I know both sides have been operating at the proverbial opposite end of the performance spectrum, but in this critical game, the ghosts of Wrigely will be out in full force to help out the defending champions notch a win. The Dodgers have looked good in the first two games of this this National league finals series, and overall in the play offs as their defense and pitching are in top form. However in the past this has not been a guarantee that they will continue to produce positive results as is evident by their , 6-17 mark against the money line in road games after allowing 3 runs or less 3 straight games. DODGERS are also just 4-11 L/15 against the money line in road games after a 5 game span with an OBP of .375 or better and are 4-13 L/17 against the money line in road games after 3 straight games where the bullpen gave up no earned runs. A lot has been made of the fact that the Cubs bats have been ice cold of late , but it must be noted that the LA DODGERS are just 22-23 against the money line in road games vs. an NL team with a team batting average of .255 or worse this season. There also long term league wide trends that tell us these types of struggling offenses have done well against the moneyline in the past.

Clayton Kershaw the ace of the Dodgers staff struggled down the stretch this season, because of back issues, and I don't think he is 100% yet. Kershaw also has a history of struggling in the play offs in the past, and in my opinion is not a strong a favorite as the lines-makers are making him here in game 1. The Dodgers southpaw hurler gave up back-to-back home runs in the seventh inning of his Game 1 start vs. Arizona, and all told, he has a 21.86 ERA in the seventh inning of postseason games. Considering the defending World Series Champion Cubs have done their best work against LHP this season averaging 5.5 rpg a on a 2.71 ERA , they must not be underestimated here as big underdogs. Meanwhile, Jose Quintana the Cubbies starter has been in top form of late, recording a 1.86 ERA in his L/3 trips to the hill, QUINTANA team when he starts is 30-11 L/41 against the money line vs. poor baserunning teams - averaging 0.5 or less SB's/game.CHICAGO CUBS are 17-6 against the money line in road games vs. NL teams scoring 4.5 or more runs/game in the second half of the season this season.

I know Chicago has clinched their spot in post season play, but would love nothing more than to finish off their opponents hopes in killer fashion which is repeatedly exhibited by championship teams. I expect some of the Cubs young talent to see time tonight, and to want to make a mark, so I don't expect the Cubs to lay down and just the let the desperate Cards roll over them. It must also be noted that Cubs starter Hendricks who has been very sharp of late is in line to start the Cubs’ playoff opener, and will be primed to make an impression on his coaching staff tonight with a top notch effort . He is 4-4 with a 2.25 ERA in his last eight apperances – all quality starts – and hasn’t allowed more than three runs in any of his 12 trips to the hill since coming off the disabled list July 24. Meanwhile, cards starter Lynn has only one victory over his last nine starts and off a very ugly effort last time out, and owns a 13.03 ERA in his L/3 overall. He looked fatigued in the above mentioned outing, which is not a good omen for his teams chances at staying alive after tonight. Lynn has seen his team lose 7 straight vs the Cubs when he starts. Cardinals are 1-7 in Lynns last 8 starts overall. Cubs are 22-5 in their last 27 road games vs. a right-handed starter.Cubs are 7-1 in the last 8 meetings.

It must be noted that the Rangers are 0-13 L/13 when Nick Martinez starts on the road when they lost in his last start.

Tanner Roark of the Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves' R.A. Dickey, are two pitchers operating at the opposite end of the performance spectrum. Roark is 7-3 with a 3.18 ERA in 11 outings since the All-Star break.Roark is also 6-2 with a 2.80 ERA in his career against Atlanta and beat them in Washington on Sept. 14, when he allowed two runs and four hits Meanwhile, the Braves veteran knuckleballer Dickey is 0-2 with a 10.50 ERA in three starts this month. Opponents have batted .333 in his past six trips to the hill, and looks to be in trouble vs a explosive Nationals batting order tonight.Dickey is 0-2 with a 5.92 ERA in four starts against Washington this year and 4-9 with a 4.17 ERA in 20 career games (18 starts) vs. the Nationals. With the Nationals remaining consistent and on a 3 game win streak, Atlanta looks a little lost and have lost 4 straight. Considering the pitching matchup and both teams current form I am recommending we take the Nationals in this spot play. ATLANTA is 1-11 L/12 against the money line in home games after batting .200 or worse over a 3 game span.ATLANTA is 0-10 L/10 against the money line in home games after scoring 3 runs or less 2 straight games this season

He is opposed by the inconsistent Anibel Sanchez (3-4, 7.03 ERA).OAKLAND is 6-0 against the money line vs. an AL starting pitcher whose ERA is 6.40 or worse this season.SANCHEZ team when he starts is 9-21 L/30 against the money line against AL West opponents in his career. With these teams playing at the opposite proverbial end of the performance spectrum at the moment it will be an easy decision to back the As this afternoon. Note: Motown has lost 9 of their L/11 while Oakland has won 3 in a row and 10 of their l/13. MLB teams when the money line is +125 to -125 like As - after 2 straight games where they stranded 10 or more runners on base, with a tired bullpen - after 3 straight games throwing 4+ innings are 61-28 since 1997 for a 69% conversion rate for bettors.

He has allowed 13 runs in 12 innings in three starts in September, and he lasted just 3 1/3 innings against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, allowing six runs and nine hits in 3 1/3 innings. Meanwhile, Daniel Gossett (4-9, 5.02 ERA) will go to the hill for the As. The righty hurler has shown a lot of improvement against two of the majors' best offensive teams in his last couple of appearances.Gossett held the Houston Astros to one run on six hits and struck out seven on Sept. 9 for his fourth victory, then allowed three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings at Boston on Thursday and being that he is in very good form at the moment while Bell is not the Athletics have the starting pitcher edge.

Pittsburgh is now completely deflated and just playing out the string, after just getting swept by the Reds, and losing yesterday in the opener of this series the Brewers for their 5th straight loss which includes being defeated in 11 of the L/12 games. Tonight I expect more of the same negative results from the Pirates , as they face the Milwaukee Brewers Chase Anderson (10-3, 2.88 ERA) who beat the Pirates last week 8-2, and matches up well against their batting order.Anderson is 5-2 with a 3.20 ERA in 10 career starts against the Pirates. This season, he is 2-0 with a 2.38 ERA in two starts vs. Pittsburgh. Anderson faces against off against the Pirates Trevor Williams (6-8, 4.26 ERA) who has lost 4 of his L/5 decisions. MILWAUKEE is 12-3 against the money line in road games after a game with a combined score of 4 runs or less this season, which happened last time out beating the Pirates by a 3-0 count.

Needless to say Lyles would love to beat his old team today in a place he is used to pitching in. I''m betting he has a good chance at helping his team notch the underdog win vs a lineup he is very familiar with. I know San Diego has lost 4 straight , including yesterday opening game in this series, by a 6-1 count but they have been a positive bet in the past, under these circumstances as they are 15-5 against the money line after 4 or more consecutive losses. Also Colorado is a ugly 0-9 L/9 off a home win in which they had multiple multiple-run innings and never trailed. Play on the San Diego Padres to win on the moneyline 1 unit reg selection |

In 11 home outings this season, he is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA..Chicago pounded out 25 hits is 17-7 rout of Detroit in Thursday's series opener and I'm betting this young group will unleash another barrage on a Tigers teams just playing out the string.

Unfortunately for him, and despite of pitching well of late I'm betting he reverts back to his losing ways here at home again. He threw 109 pitches in his last outing, allowing just 1 run in a win and will not be so fresh here and could tire early. Also with that in mind it must be noted that Atlanta is 0-11 L/11 when Julio Teheran starts at home and he averaged more than four pitches per batter in his last start. |

Prior to his being sidelined, he allowed 17 runs on 23 hits - nine home runs - over 11 1/2 innings in three trips to the hill. I'm expecting he will be cannon fodder for the royals bats tonight. I know Vargas his pitching opponent tonight, has not been good form since the all star break, but is still a stable commodity compared to his counterpart. With that said, I'm betting the Royals hand the Tigers their 6th straight loss in this spot. VARGAS has seen his team go 20-9 L/29 when he starts against the money line vs. an AL team with a team batting average of .260 or worse.KANSAS CITY is 19-6 against the money line after a 3 game span where the bullpen threw 13 total innings or more this season.

I'm betting he uses the momentum of that game to take out the NY Yankees to Monday afternoon. Bundy (13-8, 3.94 ERA) went 4-0 with a 2.00 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in five starts in August. Meanwhile, the Yankees will start rookie Jordan Montgomery (7-7, 4.15 ERA). In his latest trip to the hill, Montgomery took the loss against the Cleveland Indians by allowing four runs and six hits over just four innings. He actually looked a little tired in that game, and is fade material here this afternoon in Baltimore in game 1 of this series. The Yankees I'm betting will also be in a natural letdown situation after beating the ace of the BoSox rotation last night Chris Sale by a 9-2 count.

My own cross reference pitcher vs batter projections , tells me the BoSox offense should give Sale all the run support he will need tonight. Red Sox are 5-1 in Sales last 6 road starts. BOSTON is 37-19 L/56 against the money line in September games.BOSTON is 27- against the money line in road games vs. good power teams - averaging 1.25 or more HR's/game in the second half of the season dating back to last year.SEVERINO is 5-12 L/17 against the money line with a team slugging percentage .400 or worse on the season (AL) over.

Tampa Bays starter southpaw Blake Snell (2-6, 4.29 ERA) will start today against a White Sox team that are big home underdogs. Last time out Chicago lost 5-4 in walk off fashion as underdogs , but this time around I'm betting they find their way and deliver a pay day vs a, pitcher that despite of some recent good outings is a very hittable pitcher. Chicago has lost their L/2 games they played vs the Rays but are solid in that situation going 10-5 against the money line in home games with double revenge - 2 straight losses against opponent this season.The White Sox are also 6-0 L/6 as a home dog in the first game of a series with no rest when they are off a road game and they blew a lead in their starters last start and lost.

Skaggs owns a 2-2 record along with a 5.66 ERA against the Rangers in his career. I'm betting Skaggs in trouble today vs a Texas side that does their best offensive work at home averaging 5.8 rpg via a .271 BA. Meanwhile, Texas will respond with southpaw Cole Hamels (9-2, 3.78 ERA), who had a solid August despite a ugly outing last time out. I expect this quality hurler to come back here with a vengeance. He owns a 4-1 record along with a stingy 2.47 ERA for his career vs the Halos.Hamels is 6-0 at home this season in 8 starts along with a very stable 3.01 ERA.

Red Sox LH Eduardo Rodriguez (4-4, 4.19 ERA) vs. Yankees LH CC Sabathia (10-5, 3.82) Sabathia is making his third start since returning from the disabled list because of a right knee injury. Sabathia was on the DL when the Red Sox last visited New York and returned Aug. 19 in Boston when he allowed two runs and four hits.He followed it up by allowing just one run and five hits in seven quality innings in a no-decision in the Yanks heart breaking 11-inning loss to the Seattle Mariners this past Friday. Sabathia is shaping back into form and I expect he will be at his best in this tilt. . The current Boston roster is hitting a combined .187 (32-for-171) off him. Meanwhile, his pitching opponent, in nine starts since May 25, Rodriguez the BoSox starter is 0-3 with a 5.76 ERA.Rodriguez is trying for his first win in over three months. The Red Sox swept the Yanks the last time they met, and now I expect the Yankees will be amped up to perform here, as they are not only in revenge mode, but in a desperation mode as well, as their play off aspirations, will hinge on their play over the next week. SABATHIA is 10-2 against the money line against division opponents this season.Red Sox are 0-5 in Rodriguezs last 5 starts during game 1 of a series.Yankees are 4-0 in Sabathias last 4 starts vs. Red Sox.

I almost always like to put a starting pitching matchup analysis up , but when a situation like this arises, momentum plays a almost bigger factor in a projected outcome .Toronto just finished a six-game homestand with a ugly 1-5 record and have now lost 10 of 12 overall. The Blue Jays sit in last place in the American League East and are regularly playing like bottom feeders and are fade material here again tonight vs a Baltimore team on a red hot 7 game win streak after yesterdays 8-7 win vs the Mariners.The Orioles have been offensively explosive during their winning run, scoring four or more runs in six of the seven victories. With play off aspirations still in play I expect we will see the Os, in top form, again tonight vs a team playing out the string that they have beaten 7 of 10 times this season. BALTIMORE is 36-10 L/46 against the money line in home games when playing against a bad team (Win Pct. 38% to 46%).TORONTO is 4-11 against the money line after batting .200 or worse over a 3 game span this season.BALTIMORE is 67-29 L/96 against the money line as a home favorite of -110 or higher.

Needless to say he is in top form. Meanwhile, Minnesota's veteran hurler, Colon, despite of being fairly stable , owns a bloated 6.94 ERA at home this year spanning 9 starts. Looking at this games pitching matchup, there is value in backing a visiting White Sox team that has cashed 4 of their L/7 as underdogs and 7 of their L/11 overall, with young rejuvenated lineup.

Athletics RH Kendall Graveman (4-4, 4.24 ERA) vs. Angels RH Parker Bridwell (7-2, 2.89) Bridwell the Angels starter tonight continued to be in top form last Friday but suffered his first loss in nine starts after giving up two runs and six hits in seven innings against Houston. Today I expect he will bounce back and get his team to the win via his usual solid work.Angels are 6-0 in Bridwells last 6 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. Despite the absence of Mike Trout, the Angels have outscored the Athletics 11-3 in winning the first two , games of this series, and with Trout expected back tonight the Angels will be ready for a bigger output. Meanwhile, Graveman (4-4, 4.24 ERA) has pitched well against Los Angeles this season, going 1-1 with a 2.84 ERA in three starts. However, all three of those outings were well before he missed 2 1/2 months with a strained shoulder. He has pitched decently of late, but I still feel he is less than 100% and susceptible to being beaten around. Athletics are 0-5 in Gravemans last 5 road starts and are 0-6 in Gravemans last 6 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. Athletics are 18-41 in their last 59 road games.Athletics are 2-9 in the last 11 meetings in Los Angeles.

Previous too his recent success Moore was just 1-8 from May 24-Aug. 7, so a regression to the norm is not out of the question. Meanwhile Perdomo (6-8, 4.84 ERA) the Fathers starter, was in top form in his last trip out at St. Louis on Thursday. Over six innings, he allowed just two runs on seven hits and two walks in a no-decision.In seven career games against the Giants, Perdomo is 1-0 with a 3.94 ERA. He is 0-0 with a 3.63 ERA in three starts vs. San Francisco this year. I like the Padres hurler here to keep his team in the game. SF took a 3-0 win yesterday but SAN DIEGO is 7-1 against the money line revenging a shutout loss to opponent this season. Giants are 1-6 in Moores last 7 starts vs. National League West.Padres are 5-2 in Perdomos last 7 home starts.Padres are 6-1 in Perdomos last 7 home starts vs. a team with a losing record.

Two pitchers who do not inspire all star day dreaming go to the mound to face each other tonight. The Angels left-hander Andrew Heaney (0-0, 8.10 ERA) will make his third start of the season following his return from Tommy John surgery.His last major league victory came against Oakland on Sept. 2, 2015, when he went seven innings and allowed three runs and seven hits in a 9-4 road victory.Heaney has made just 21 starts with the Angels since being acquired in a December 2014 trade. The 26-year-old is 6-5 with a 3.99 ERA in his Angels career. He has not been very good after coming off the disabled ,list , but now fully healed and the rust wearing off I'm betting he has enough juice in his arm, to keep the As bats under control tonight. Meanwhile, A's rookie hurler Gossett hasn't faced the Angels, but he is 0-3 with a 5.63 ERA against the AL West this season.Gossett gave up five runs in five innings in his return Wednesday but didn't get a decision in Baltimore.On the season, Gossett is 3-6 with a 5.49 ERA in 11 starts and is fade material in this spot play. Note:Angels superstar Mike Trout has hit more homers against the A's (24) than against any other team in his career. Trout is batting .308 in 104 games against Oakland in his career. I know Oakland has played well lately, but they have not dealt with success well. as they are 1-11 against the money line after having won 4 of their last 5 games this season. Also the Athletics after the all star break are 0-20 L/20 after a 4 plus run win as a favorite , which happened yesterday vs the Rangers yesterday by a 8-3 count.OAKLAND is 9-22 against the money line in road games with a team slugging percentage .410 or worse on the season (AL) this season.

Meanwhile, Gonzales the Mariners starter continues to struggle and has not made it past the 5th inning in any of his L/5 starts.

LA ANGELS are 21-7 L/28 against the money line in home games after a game where they stranded 3 or less runners on base .

After he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in May, the Pirates donned wristbands with the hashtag #JamoStrong for their friend and teammate. He has not pitched all that well of late, but this kids been through hell and back, and on a special occasion like today , I'm betting we see him at his best. Yesterday the Pirates shut out the Reds, and must be noted that the Reds are 0-9 on the moneyline as a dog coming off a home game in which they were shutout. The Pirates are also 13-0 L/13 against an opponent seeking immediate revenge for a shutout loss, with their starters providing 12 straight quality starts in this situation. Meanwhile, Mahle the Reds starting hurler is ranked as the Reds' highly in the Reds pipleine of pitchers . The 22-year-old right-hander has a 2.06 ERA between Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Louisville this season, and a combined 2.85 ERA in 105 career Minor League games, but here making his first MLB start I expect he won’t be as smooth here against top tier pros.

Meanwhile, Rodon owns a 2.49 ERA in his L/3 starts, while allowing just 6 ERs in his L/22 innings of work. Needless to say, these pitchers indicators are at the opposite end of the proverbial performance spectrum, making Rodon and the White Sox a viable moneyline investment option.

He's 2-0 with a 1.37 ERA in three starts at the Coliseum..After losing the series opener against Oakland and falling two games behind Minnesota for the second wild-card spot in the American League I'm expecting his offense to also be ready to back him in this spot. Meanwhile, Manaea his pitching opponent from the A's is slumping and not in good form as his recent slump, that has seen him go-0-3 with an 8.17 ERA in six starts.

Blue Jays RH Marcus Stroman (11-6, 2.99 ERA) vs. Rays RH Austin Pruitt (6-4, 5.37) Stroman the Blue Jays starter today enters this tilt against the Rays in top form as is evident by having limited opposition batters to three earned runs or fewer in 20 of 25 starts this season. He has allowed just one homer over his last 10 starts and has recorded a stingy 2.02 ERA over that time.Among starters with at least 100 batted balls allowed since the All-Star break, Stroman has the lowest average launch angle (-0.8 degrees), according to MLBs Statcast. He also has the second-lowest rate of barreled balls allowed (1.4 percent), surrendering only two total during that time. This will be Stroman's second straight start vs the Rays, as he faced them last Wednesday. On average, Stroman has performed better in the second game of those back-to-back starts. He recorded a 3.48 ERA over 20 2/3 innings in the second starts, and a 5.06 ERA over 16 innings the first time he faced the opponent. Today I'm betting we see the Jays young hurler at his best. Note: Stroman owns a 2.25 ERA over three starts against Tampa Bay. He's struck out 22 Rays over 20 innings this season. Meanwhile, Austin Pruitt (6-4, 5.37 a rookie and will make his first start against the Blue Jays, though he's seen them three times coming out of the bullpen. He gave up 11 hits AND 6 RUNS in 7 innings last time out, and according to my own cross reference batter vs pitcher power rankings matches up poorly vs the Jays sometimes explosive offense. Overall, the Rays have lost four of Pruitt’s L/5 starts and the losses in his last three outings have all been at home, and I'm betting things don't get better in this spot as the Jays bounce back from yesterdays 6-5 loss. Blue Jays are 4-1 in Stromans last 5 starts vs. American League East.Blue Jays are 8-2 in Stromans last 10 starts on astroturf.Rays are 5-11 in their last 16 home games vs. a right-handed starter.Blue Jays are 4-1 in Stromans last 5 road starts vs. Rays.

Godley is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three career appearances (two starts) against the Mets. Flexen has never faced the Diamondbacks. According to my own power rankings the DBacks have a bigger edge than the moneyline would indicate making them a solid investment opportunity here even a 1.50 + line! Arizona has won all 5 meetings in this series this season and get the nod again. NY METS are 1-12 against the money line after a 5 game span where the bullpen ERA was 2.00 or better this season and are 1-12 against the money line as a home underdog of +100 or higher this season. ARIZONA is 32-18 against the money line vs. an NL team with a team batting average of .250 or worse this season.

08-22-17 | Rangers v. Angels -139 | 1-10 | Win | 100 | 13 h 56 m | Show | |
Rangers RH Tyson Ross (3-2, 7.02 ERA) vs. Angels RH Ricky Nolasco (6-12, 5.16) Nolasco the Angels starter tonight has won his last two decisions, including a victory over Washington in his last trip to the hill. Meanwhile, the Angels Tyson Ross is having control issues as is evident by allowing 15 walks in 13 2/3 innings over his last three trips to the hill and 31 on the season in just 42 1/3 innings. That is not a recipe for success and today I'm betting these control issues bite him in the proverbial butt. Ross owns a ugly 8.50 ERA in 4 road starts this season. The Angels lost yesterday to the Rangers 5-3, but tonight I'm betting they bounce back and add to a 9-3 L/12 run, as they desperately chase Minnesota for a wild card birth. The Angels are 17-0 L/17 as a moneyline favorite off a game as a favorite when seeking same-season revenge vs their opponents starting pitcher and it is after the All-Star break and not a series opener. (Ross beat the Angels 5-2 on July 8.) Play on the LA Angels to win on the moneyline 1 unit reg selection |
