BOSTON(Porcello) +108 over Oakland(Kazmir)-----Slick Rickie Fowler,  birdie-ing and eagling out to make the playoff...........then winning the TPC at Sawgrass yesterday.   We'll go with Rick.   David Murphy was 4-4 yesterday,  Red Sox have Ortiz.(Win 5-4............GWHR Pablo Sandoval)

MILWAUKEE BREWERS(Peralta) -110 over Chicago White Sox(Samardzija)----Brewers have won their last 2,  but they have a long way to go to achieve a respectable winning percentage. (Win 10-7..........Elian Herrera and Carlos Gomez 2-4 w/HR each.........Parra 2-5 and Khris Davis w/  an HR)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Collmenter) +138 over Washington Nationals(Scherzer)----Don't believe the hype:  Nationals suck.  Horrible,  stupid team.   Remember how they "shut down" Strasburg for the post season and then went out pathetically??   Idiots.  Morons.   And Scherzer......he really doesn't have much besides a fastball.   In the aridity of Arizona,  which he's not used to,  I'm predicting some wildness from him.(Lose 11-1.........Yunel Escobar 5-5........game like this..........makes you not wanna even get on the train in the morning.)

BRAVES(Miller) +128 over Reds(Leake)-----------Reds are horrible........just a wisp of a team.  I don't care who's pitching for the Reds;  they're not gonna win.   And Miller is kind of good.(Win 2-1........Simmons 2-5 HR)
