NEW YORK YANKEES(Whitley) +144 over St Louis Cardinals(Wacha)(Win 6-4)

KANSAS CITY ROYALS(Ventura) -154 over Houston Astros(Feldman)(Lose 9-2......don't think this is the 1st time Ventura's gotten rocked for me...........George Springer 4-4 HR,  Marwin Gonzalez 4-5,  Dexter Fowler 2-2)

CUBS(Samardzija) +119 over Giants(Petit)-----With a mediocre offense hitting .245 the Giants,  I think,  are "ahead of the curve" sitting at a record of 32-18.   I thought it was quite rude for the Cubs to lose yesterday,  disrespecting the young Cubs fan who had become on Friday a fallen soldier---collateral damage, if you will-----in the ongoing Retribution War against Wealth Inequality and Hollywood.   In other words,   CAN THE CUBS FAIL YET AGAIN TO PROVIDE RUN SUPPORT FOR SAMARDZIJA????  It seems improbable considering how good he's done.  But there is risk,  this being the Cubs,  a franchise with a legacy of losing and,  currently,  being impacted by a particularly ignorant management team that continues to fail to hire me.(Win 8-4........Darwin Barney---wow----raising his average to .186 with 2RBI.........Nate Schierholtz 2-4, HR raising his average to .214)

MARINERS(Young) +127 over Angels(Skaggs)-----If it weren't for Young,  of course I wouldn't be betting on the mismanaged Mariners.   But,  they HAVE scored as many as 6 runs in a game that he has pitched this year.(Win 5-1........Robinson Cano 3-4.........Saunders 2-3)

A's(Milone) -1.5 (+165) over Tigers(Smyly)-------Tigers suck and have a very good chance of losing by between 7 and 10 runs so........I'll take the A's at home.(Win 10-0.....Josh Donaldson 3-5, HR.......Kyle Blanks 2-3, HR, 3R..........Derek Norris Grand Slam)
