ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Nelson) +120 over Milwaukee Brewers(Priester)----------Priester has done almost supernaturally well.   His last 15 starts have resulted in Brewers' Wins.   But is he that good? Well,  he throws a .242 average and has walked more than 1 every 3 innings.   So, he's good but..........Nelson throws a .213 average.  Brewers have scored 24 more runs.  Brewers have won 19 more games.   Yeah,  these lines suck because this is a 20 cent line.    So today............(and I would expect the Padres to also lose today,  but I wanna play this one)..........I think Priester finally goes down.   Is the Devil really on the loose in America because Congressional reps are owned by AIPAC and won't stop the Genocide?   Yes,  I believe that's what it's really about.   It's been going on for quite a long time and...........if the LA fires didn't learn anyone anything..........perhaps the emergence of Satan in Minnesota will terrorize the Congress to make that change.

LA ANGELS(Kikuchi) -115 over Texas Rangers(Corbin)----Angels are on a 2-5 run but have outscored Rangers by 22 runs.   Angels have gone 4-1 in Kikuchi's last 5 while Rangers have gone 1-4 in Corbin's last 5.

MINNESOTA TWINS(Ryan) +125 over Toronto Blue Jays(Scherzer)----Obviously the Blue Jays are a much better team.  And are in 1st place.  And have scored 103 more runs.  They are 11-9 in August.  Twins are on a disgraceful 3-10 streak.  But Ryan,  at 12-6,  ERA 2.96,  is having an excellent year.   If we need it,  I think we can get Max to lay this one down.

MIAMI MARLINS(Cabrera) -105 over Atlanta Braves(Strider)-------Not a good year for Braves.  Strider's been rocked in his last 3 starts.  Cabrera's been rocked in his last 2,  before which he shut down the Braves.  Marlins hit 6pts better than Braves and Braves have scored 8 more runs.  Miami has won 2 more games.

TEXAS RANGERS(Kelly) -120 over Cleveland Guardians(Williams)-----Williams is better than he was last year but still walks 1 ever 2 innings.   Rangers offense is +40 on Cleveland.

COLORADO ROCKIES(Brown) +245 over Pittsburgh Pirates(Skenes)-------Colorado has scored 28 more runs than Pirates.  They are 9-13 in August.  They have added Kyle Karros and maybe some other new players.  Skenes is of course one of the best pitchers in baseball,  while certainly not the winningest.  His team has gone 2-2 in his last 4 starts and 13-13 throughout the season when he pitches.  The price is good,  while nothing is known about Brown.

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Gallen) -135 over Cincinnati Reds(Singer)--------Gallen is not better than Singer but Arizona has been hot, hitting well,  after they surprisingly rocked Abbott yesterday.  They are on a 10-5 streak and have scored 57 more runs than the Reds.

BOSTON RED SOX(Crochet) over New York Yankees(Warren) parlayed with KANSAS CITY ROYALS(Wacha) over Detroit Tigers(Paddack) +276---------Wacha and Crochet have both beaten these opponents twice.   In this year of anti-Revenge,  that's good to go.  Warren has got his ERA down from 5.01 to 4.25 since July 2nd.  But Crochet has been far better and more consistent.  Yes,  Tigers have scored 135 more runs and won 11 more games.   Paddack's ERA is 4.95.  Wacha is a lot better than that.(Lose 4-2............Yastrzemski 0-4,  Maikel Garcia 0-4...........didn't think they'd lose to Paddack)

KANSAS STATE WILDCATS -3 over Iowa State Cyclones-----KSU has Romaine,  Cobbs,  #9 McIntosh,  Brown,  Dylan Edwards and #17 Adonis Moise.  All those names are interesting.  And this is double home Revenge for Kansas State.   Maybe Revenge will work in football, after it failed in baseball.(Lose 24-21...........First punt return,  Dylan Edwards fumbles it,  and then gets hurt for the rest of the game.  That's very.............odd.   But then HC Chris Klieman makes the unpardonable mistake:

https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/iowa-state-cyclones-kansas-state-wildcats-202508230021/?section=gamedrives(Turnover on Downs 4 plays, 9 yards, 2:01  2nd 12:04 - KSU 4th & 1, at ISU 7  Joe Jackson rushed for no gain, tackled by Marcus Neal Jr.)

              Early in the 2nd quarter,  should have taken the makeable FG(from the 7 yard line!!!!)  Oh,  he misses and loses by 3 points.   Could have up 10-7 EARLY IN THE 2ND QUARTER!   A pathetic disgrace.   This team and STUPID coach have disgraced me.)

COLORADO ROCKIES(Senzatela) +160 over Pittsburgh Pirates(Ashcraft)---------Pirates are a decidedly losing team and...........they are big favorites here.   Ashcraft has only had 3 starts.  Senzatela sucks but 3 of his last 4 starts have resulted in Rockies' wins.  His name is Antonio and Roman Anthony hit an HR for me last night.  Rockies offense actually has scored 41 more runs than Pirates.(Lose 9-0..........sick)

 BOSTON RED SOX(Giolito) +125 over New York Yankees(Gil)----------"Luis" Castillo got rocked last night.   Luis Gil has walked 8 in 14 innings this year.  Offenses are pretty equal so I'll got with the better SP.(Win 6-3............Anthony 2-5 HR,  Alex Bregman 3-5)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Roupp) +135 over San Diego Padres(Sears)---------Padres only have outscored Giants by 13 runs.   (Lose 8-1..............I'm done with this fucking team, man.  Giants don't hit,  Roupp goes 2 5 5 2 2,  a brutal rocking)

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Irvin) +170 over New York Mets(Peterson)-----Nationals on a 4-2 streak.  Both teams are hitting .244.  Mets have scored 23 more runs.  Yes,  Peterson threw a CGSHO vs Washington on 6/11.   So this is home Revenge for Washington.   Peterson can and does get rocked sometimes.  And Irvin,  though usually not so good,  can win.  In fact,  he is 8-7 this year on a losing team.(Lose 8-1..........might as well be another CGSHO from Peterson.  Irvin gives 6 Runs in 6 innings)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Ray) +125 over San Diego Padres(Cortes)----------It's true that Ray does not have a Win in his last 7 starts.  But Padres are only +10 runs here,  and I obviously just bet this one and Cortes won,  while only going 4.2 innings.(Win 4-3...........Cortes rocked,  Ray goes 6 3 0 1 6,  Ramos, Devers and Flores all have an HR)

MILWAUKEE BREWERS(Quintana) -110 over Cincinnati Reds(Abbott)------Brewers are 13-0 in August.  Abbott's lost his last two starts.  And he was rocked by Milwaukee on June 4th.(Lose 3-2............SPs do good and Grant Anderson takes the L)

 TAMPA BAY RAYS(Houser) +110 over San Francisco Giants(Verlander)--------Houser was good until his last two starts.   He even shut down SF on June 28th.   Giants have gone 5-15 in Verlander's starts this season and I would venture to say its wrong to favor the Giants here.  Tampa has outscored them by 56 runs.(Win 2-1..........Verlander does good but I win)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Matthews) -105 over Detroit Tigers(Mize)(Lose 8-5)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Ryan) +130 over New York Yankees(Schlittler)----Yankees offense is better but Ryan is definitely the better SP here.  Twins on a 5-6 run.(Win 4-1...........Kody Clemens 2 RBI,  Buxton 2-4)

Seattle (Gilbert) vs Baltimore (Rogers) UNDER 8.5(-115)(Win 4-3)

OAKLAND A's(Ginn) +115 over Tampa Bay Rays(Rasmussen)---------A's offense has scored 4 more runs than Tampa and Tampa is only 4-7 in August.(Lose 8-2...........Ginn horribly rocked;  they never had a chance)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Ray) -120 over San Diego Padres(Cortes)----Padres have won 8 more games but have only scored 4 more runs than Giants.  Cortes has had only 3 starts while SF has gone 17-7 in Ray's starts.(Lose 5-1............What a disgrace----------Ray had a balk and Giants don't hit)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Desclafani) +130 over Texas Rangers(Leiter)----------Desclafani is 55-58 lifetime.  He hasn't pitched too many innings per game this year whereas Leiter has had 20 starts.  That surprised me.  (Well, Texas went only 7-13 in those starts).  After going 1-8,  AZ has gone 6-4.  And they've hit .251 and outscored Texas by 97.   So their offense is definitely better.(Win 3-2.............Marte 2-4 HR)

OAKLAND A's(Springs) -110 over Tampa Bay Rays(Pepiot)----------Pepiot has brought Tampa a 9-15 record when he pitches.  A's have the Revenge against him.  Offenses equal.(Lose 7-4.........Nah, revenge doesn't work this season.  Springs get destroyed)

BOSTON RED SOX(Bello) +125 over San Diego Padres(Cease)---------Boston's offense is quite a bit better,  having scored 110 more runs.(Lose 6-2............Bello horrible:  5 6 5 3 7)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Burke) +110 over Cleveland Guardians(Cantillo)-----Both SPs born on the exact same day,  December 18th, 1999.  Sagittariuses.  CWS have lost 5 in a row.  Guardians have scored 14 more runs.   Both teams have hit .229.  With Robert, Edgar Chase and two Miguel/Michaels,  White Sox are far more representative of me.  Both pitchers have struggled with too many walks.  But Burke has the double Revenge vs Cleveland.   I will take him at home.(Lose 3-1..........Not even that good of a price.  CWS get 4 hits)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Rodriguez) -1.5(-110) over Colorado Rockies(Blalock)-------AZ has gone 7-12 in Rodriguez's starts.  Not good,  but Blalock is worse.  Arizona has scored 131 more runs than Col.  They have Kaiser in there at 2nd base now.(Lose 6-5)

MILWAUKEE BREWERS(Woodruff) -1.5(+140) over New York Mets(Senga)----Brewers are up 69 runs on Mets and,  at .257,  rank 3rd in batting average.  They are 6-0 in August.  Senga has walked 1 every 2 innings.(Lose 3-2)

TEXAS RANGERS(Kelly) +115 over Philadelphia Phillies(Sanchez)--------------Kelly has the Revenge vs Phillies for the game in May.  Sanchez is good,  but batters have only hit .206 off Kelly.  And, yes, Phillies have scored 60 more runs than Rangers.(Lose 9-1..........again revenge fails; Kelly disgraces himself at home)
