LA ANGELS(Chavez) +112 over Toronto Blue Jays(Valdez)-----We realize............that the ape named 'Caesar' is playing in the movie in theaters right now.   But..........Angels have Trout back now.....offenses are close.........Chavez is.........old---and he sometimes gets rocked.  But we'll still try him here.(Lose 11-10...........Angels were ahead 10-4 entering the bottom of the 9th inning---isn't that an amazing thing to say,  considering the outcome of the game?  I think it is.  So let's say it again:  The Angels were ahead 10-4 going into the bottom of the 9th inning.  Brooks Pounders and Bud Norris combined to allow 7 earned runs  while getting 1 batter out in the bottom of the 9th inning.   In other words,  if the game had continued to the end of the inning----instead of ending in the sudden death way they all do in the 9th,  as the Angels only had 10 runs------at that rate Pounders and Norris would have made this game 25-10 before the 10th inning could begin.    Albert Pujols' 2HR are wasted by Angels' bullpen.  Steve Pearce had the game-winning grand slam for Toronto.   Wow,  is this the SECOND 11-10 game I've lost this season?   Wonder what that's saying?)

BALTIMORE ORIOLES(Miley) +106 over Texas Rangers(Perez)-------Well,  ok.   Miley has walked 62 in 104 innings......AND HE GETS ROCKED EVERY START!  But.........Perez isn't much better.  Miley definitely due for some improvement but.........really,  I'm more interested in Orioles' offense today.(Win 10-6.........Jonathan Schoop 2-4, HR..........Welington Castillo 2-4, HR...........Manny Machado 3-4)

BOSTON RED SOX(Pomeranz) -164 over Kansas City Royals(Hammel)(Lose 5-3.........one-pitch pitcher Matt Barnes comes in in the 8th to blow the 2-run lead,  allowing 3 hits,  getting no one out.   It started with an Error by Xander Bogaerts and then Barnes let a come-backer bounce off his body for an infield single.)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Garcia) -108 over Oakland A's(Gossett)-------Well here's the Twins' new pitcher;  it'll have to work or else they'll be back to starting Gibson.  Pretty big 3-R HR by Tommy Joseph on the Phillies today.......makes you think:  hey Twins have Joe Mauer.(Win 6-3.........Jason Castro 2-4,  Ehire Adrianza 2-3........Zack Granite 2-5)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Pelfrey) +232 over Chicago Cubs(Lester)(Lose 6-3)
CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Pelfrey) +1.5(+140) over Chicago Cubs(Lester)-----I realize there's a huge problem with the name 'Michael' right now----see Michael Blazek getting totally rocked earlier today by Washington.  But...........this is a big number; White Sox are at home.......Cubs have just recently moved decisively above .500(by 6 games).   White Sox on a 1-11 run right now.  Bad,  yes.  And I used to think Pelfrey was useless.  Yet he's persisted and held batters to a .250 average this season.  Lester DOES do really well sometimes but.........he doesn't always win,  he's 7-6.(Lose 6-3.....Jose Abreu hits 2HR for White Sox and they still lose as Kyle Schwarber hit 2HR for Cubs)

SAN DIEGO PADRES(Chacin) -101 over New York Mets(Matz)(Win 6-3)

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Jackson) -130 over Milwaukee Brewers(Davies)(Lose 8-0)
WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Jackson) -1.5(+155) over Milwaukee Brewers(Davies)-----Brewers,  still an above .500 team after 1-7 run,  with Davies,  very hittable pitcher who is surprisingly 11-4,  going against the Nationals,  who are of course the 2nd best team for batting average behind the Astros.   Davies walks a bit more than 1 every 3 innings,  so he's not like a Greg Maddux pitcher either.   Nationals at home,  so we'll go for the blowout.(Lose 8-0..........5 total hits vs Davies.   Washington is my MOST HATED team.........because they're fucking pussies.   They suck.  SUCK!  How the fuck can they have the offensive stats they have,  and then do this to me??  I'll remember this.   Nationals just ruining their World Series hopes...........by SUCKING against Davies)

OAKLAND A's(Gray) +106 over Toronto Blue Jays(Valdez)--------Offenses are close,  with A's having scored about 21 more runs than Toronto.(Lose 4-1.........Apparently Gray gave up 4 unearned runs off his OWN Error.)

DETROIT TIGERS(Fulmer) -119 over Kansas City(Duffy)-----Wow,   Tigers are at home here and........if the home team gets a 20-cent advantage on the line.........well,  Royals are  on a 6-0 run,  but Tigers offense is actually a lot better in most categories(Royals are worst in baseball at taking walks).   And this is of course a revenge game for Tigers,  as they made a bunch of errors on July 20th,   resulting in a 16-4 loss for themselves and Fulmer.   Tigers did hit Duffy last time,  but it wasn't until late,  after the game was out of reach.(Lose 3-1...........Tigers are done.  What a sick disgrace.  )

MIAMI MARLINS(Conley) +133 over Texas Rangers(Perez)-----Adam Engel did go 2-4, HR today for White Sox and........Adam Conley did.........Ok in his last start after a long layoff.   Marlins hit for a much better batting average while Texas walks and scored a bit more.   Perez..........is the kind of pitcher that shouldn't be favored by too much.(Win 4-0..........Giancarlo Stanton 2HR)

LA DODGERS(Ryu) -1.5(-120) over Minnesota Twins(Colon)--------I think Ryu's ok.  I think anyone could see the Dodgers have a good offensive day today.(Win 6-4............Cody Bellinger GWHR........Chris Taylor 3-4..........Edward Paredes got the W)

ATLANTA BRAVES(Newcomb) +355 over La Dodgers(Kershaw)(Lose 5-4)
ATLANTA BRAVES(Newcomb) +1.5(+155) over La Dodgers(Kershaw)----Dodgers have won a lot of games that Kershaw has started..............this year.  But Kershaw hasn't faced the Braves yet.  Im pretty sure Newcomb's better than his recent stats seem to say.(Win 5-4...........Kershaw was kind enough to come out after only 2 innings and the Braves STILL can't fucking win.   What are gonna do,  lose to Ross Stripling???   Yeah,  Logan Forsythe fucked me going 2-4.  3Run HR by Matt Adams in the 9th ties it---if he hadn't done that,  this bet even would have lost.  Austin Barnes had an HR for Dodgers)

ARIZONA(Ray) +104 over Washington(Strasburg)---------Stephenson couldn't win for us with the Reds yesterday so..........Stephen's not the name,  not today.(Lose 6-2..........Strasburg,  kind enough to come out after 2 innings..........and Arizona STILL can't fucking win;  Joe Blanton and the Washington bullpen beat Robbie Ray.   I cannot fucking understand this shit.   Both these damn teams have betrayed me.)

DETROIT TIGERS(Zimmerman) +107 over Minnesota Twins(Gibson)----Zimmerman may be having his worst year but he's still patently better than Gibson.  Tigers' bullpen could always screw it up but Tigers offense........still pretty good even though its underperforming its potential this year.(Lose 6-5........TIGERS FUCKING SUCK......malign disgrace---how do you lose to Kyle Gibson?   Gibson went 7 innings against Tigers.  What the fuck is your problem;  Gibson is the WORST..........you can't hit Gibson,  go home.  Leave MLB you pathetic FAIRIES.  )

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Banda) -101 over Washington Nationals(Roark)------If you look at Roark's 18 starts this year,  you'll see he gets rocked about 40% of the time.   And that's, like,  rocked so hard that his team has almost no chance of winning the game.   And when he doesn't get rocked,  he usually doesn't do great.......just ok.  So Banda,  we know nothing about because he hasn't pitched.  But AZ is at home,  so we'll see what he can do.(Lose 4-3.........This is like the best Roark as ever done.   Yeah,  I'm sure its fair he did this against me.   Roark allowed 2 ER and got 11 Ks.  Three times this year..........he's allowed fewer than 2 ER........and 2 times this year,  he's had 8 Ks.   He's never had 11 K's this except for this game.   So why did the Diamondbacks fucking suck for me?  I don't know.   Fuck those assholes)

Oakland A's(Manaea) vs New York Mets(Wheeler) UNDER 9(-115)-----Manaea is a legitimately quality pitcher who is 8-5 on a losing team.  He can always do good and shut a team down.  Wheeler might suck,  but who on the A's is gonna hit him?   A's can't hit.(Lose 6-5........Manaea was ok until the 6th inning----Wheeler got rocked,  but A's bullpen lost this game and this bet)

TORONTO BLUE JAYS(Stroman) +107 over Cleveland Indians(Salazar)----Blue Jays offense is clearly inferior in this matchup but..........Stroman has beaten some good-hitting teams lately;  give him some credit.(Lose 2-1.........Blue Jays got 3 total hits in this game.  Blue Jays got only 1 hit off Salazar............terrible.  Toronto is terrible.   Stroman definitely did good enough to win,  but his team sucks)

CINCINNATI REDS(Stephenson) -113 over Miami Marlins(O'grady)--------Reds,  sucking on a 1-7 run,  at home here with Stephenson,  never been any good.  See if we can Jekyll and Hyde this bitch.(Lose 5-4............Stephenson in effect has only one pitch:  a 92-93 fastball that does move.   Very seldom did he throw a different pitch,  which looked like some kind of sinker.   Why do the Reds think this guy can be in MLB with only 1 pitch???   Reds did ok vs O'grady,   but Stephenson sucks too much.  Goddamn this shit)

SEATTLE MARINERS(Hernandez) +129 over New York Yankees(Severino)-----Severino can throw up to 97mph..........Mariners haven't faced him yet.   Hernandez......more hittable this year than ever before yet,  he's still 5-3.(Lose 4-1.........Mariners out hit them 10-7...........Hernandez gives only 1 ER;  Jean Segura lets in an unearned run with an Error in the 8th.  Robinson Cano gives up 2 unearned runs in the 9th with an Error.

DETROIT TIGERS(Fulmer) -106 over Kansas City Royals(Duffy)-----Tigers on 4-1 run and,  with JD Martinez gone,  there'll be more playing time for Mahtook,  Adduci and........Alex Presley(didn't even know the Tigers had him).   Tigers ARE better vs lhps this year and,  strangely,  with their offense significantly better than Royals,  they've won fewer games than the Royals.  Kinsler hitting only .244 this year is a key Tigers' weakness.(Lose 16-4..........Yeah,  I really did see this movie....on this day....
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5929750/?ref_=nv_sr_2
(Beatriz at Dinner (2017)
Director: Miguel Arteta

Writer: Mike White)
...............................saw that,  THEN tried to bet on Michael Fulmer later in the day.  How many errors did the Tigers make?  Three?  FUCK THAT D A M N  MOVIE, BITCH.  this is the worst fucking game of the season.  (Tigers season is over).   Completely fucked.  WHO in the movie industry is gonna pay for this shit?   Chad Bell and Alex Wilson combined to give up 8 Earned Runs for Tigers........but Fulmer gave up 7 hits in only 2 innings.  Probably the worst movie of all time----spaztec anti-White people propaganda.   What garbage.   )

ST LOUIS CARDINALS(Wacha) -111 over New York Mets(Montero)------Wacha...........started his career as a "Top Pitcher".   And he was good........for a couple years.   Last year he wasn't that good and.........I guess he's average now.   Cardinals and Mets offenses about equal.   But Mets are starting Montero.   He's not a starting pitcher and............he's way worse that 'average'.   Mets are 3-15 in games Montero has pitched for them(mostly in relief) this year.   That stat alone should be enough to give Wacha a chance here.(Win 5-0........CG SHO 3-hitter by Wacha............Cardinals got 1 hit from all batters except Matt Carpenter who got 4 hits)

COLORADO ROCKIES(Senzatela) -144 over San Diego Padres(Lamet)-----Rockies.........didn't collapse entirely after their 1-10 run at the end of June;  they're still trying to contend.   Senzatela is back from the bullpen..........for this start(He's still 9-3,  even tho he was starting to get rocked regularly).   Lamet has been totally rocked 3 times, and done well 5 times.  Very little middle-ground with him so far.   Padres have scored 334 Runs,  Rockies have scored 488 Runs.   That's the big difference.(Win 9-7..........Gerardo Parra 3-3, now hitting .352..........Carlos Gonzalez 3RBI)

NEW YORK YANKEES(Cessa) -139 over Minnesota Twins(Colon)------I can see the Twins optioning Kyle Gibson for assignment(if they did that)...........but his replacement..........is Colon?  No.  I had some hopes for the Twins this year........but this........I just can't believe they're starting Bartolo,  (whose experience is certainly respectable but....).  WTF?  Like,  the Twins have NO minor league pitchers?  No prospects?  True,  Yankees and Twins have both won 47 games this year.   At .338,  Colon has been probably the most hittable pitcher in baseball this year;  he's averaged about 5 innings per start.(Win 6-3..........Didi Gregorius 3-4, HR..........Ronald Torreyes 3-4..........Chasen Shreve gets the W..........Cessa walked 4 in 3 innings)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Ray) -1.5(+100) over Cincinnati Reds(Romano)----Arizona on a 0-5 run,  having gone 3-8 in July.   They're slipping out of contention.   Ray's good but he's walking 1 ever 2 innings.(Win 11-2............Arizona gets extra-base hits from 9 players for the first time in franchise history...........HRs from Ray Fuentes and Chris Herrmann.........Peralta was 3-5)

BOSTON RED SOX(Rodriguez) -104 over Toronto Blue Jays(Stroman)-----Rodriguez hasn't pitched since June 1st but.........the Red Sox offense is pretty good.(Lose 4-3........Red Sox score zero earned runs in this game..........Pearce 2-3, HR w/ GWRBI)

ATLANTA BRAVES(Teheran) +143 over Chicago Cubs(Lester)-----Two .500 teams here.  Lester is 5-6.........so that's around 50-50.  Braves are better(.278) vs lhps this year.   This is "Julio" and now is July.  And with the Colombian Quintana getting 12 Ks yesterday in a shutout.........the home team here is +143,  so its a pretty easy decision.(Lose 4-3........Lester does good)

ATLANTA BRAVES(Garcia) -106 over Arizona Diamondbacks(Godley)-----Garcia is coming off 4 straight losses in which he allowed 23 ERs.  That's pretty bad,  yet his season stats are respectable.  But what I noticed yesterday is that the Braves got 14 Hits with Freeman going 0-5.  They won't get that many hits off Godley,  but their offense looks like its in good shape.(Win 7-1.........Brandon Phillips 3-3 w/ 3 doubles..........HRs by Adams and Kemp)

DETROIT TIGERS(Sanchez) -120 over Toronto Blue Jays(Estrada)(Win 6-5.........Lucas Harrell walks in the winning run)
DETROIT TIGERS(Sanchez) -1.5(+155) over Toronto Blue Jays(Estrada)(Lose 6-5........Warwick Saupold,  Redcliffe Queensland gets the W)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Santana) +152 over Houston Astros(Musgrove)-----Last time Santana faced the Astros,  he allowed 1 ER in 7 innings----yet the Astros won the game 16-8!???  Strange.  Astros' record is also strangely good and...........I'd be surprised if the Twins are shutdown today by Musgrove.(Win 4-2.........Eddie Rosario 2-4,  GWRBI.........Brian Dozier 2-4, HR)

OAKLAND A's(Blackburn) +193 over Cleveland Indians(Kluber)(Win 5-3)
OAKLAND A's(Blackburn) +1.5(+105) over Cleveland Indians(Kluber)-----Team Revenge for Oakland against Kluber and Blackburn.............has had 2 good starts,  his only MLB experience.(Win 5-3..........Matt Chapman 3-3, 2HR for Oakland(Cal State Fullerton).........Khris Davis 2-4, GWHR......Ryan Madson gets the W)

TIGERS(Fulmer) over Blue Jays(Liriano) parlayed with NATIONALS(Scherzer) over Reds(Castillo) +180--------Liriano's still wild and not that great;  Castillo has K'd 30 in 23 innings but........he's probably not going for a CG today,  something Scherzer can always do.(Win 11-1 and 10-7......Miguel Cabrera 3-4, HR........Jose Iglesias 3-4.........JD Martinez 3-5, HR......Castellanos an HR............Anthony Rendon 3-3, 2HR, 2BB and 6 RBI...........Ryan Raburn 2-5, HR for Nationals)

DETROIT TIGERS(Fulmer) +206 over Cleveland Indians(Kluber)-------An insane price.(Win 5-3......Jose Iglesias 3-4,  Alex Presley 2-3..........Kluber needs 101 pitchers to complete 5 innings)

PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Nova) +174 over Chicago Cubs(Arrieta)-----Clint Frazier hit the walk-off game-winning HR for the Yankees today.  Pirates have Adam Frazier AND Clint Hurdle,  at manager.  Cubs have been the 3rd best team to bet against this year,  having lost more than 17 units against their lines.(Win 4-2..........Josh Bell 3-4..........Gregory Polanco HR)

DETROIT TIGERS(Verlander) +133 over Cleveland Indians(Clevinger)-----Tigers definitely have the Team Revenge against Clevinger.............Verlander has been rocked twice by Cleveland and done well against them once.(Lose 4-0)

NEW YORK METS(Degrom) +111 over St Louis Cardinals(Martinez)--------
https://www.ajc.com/news/breaking-news/gwinnett-mother-accused-slaying-her-family-makes-bizarre-first-court-appearance/UcbaTK7TGHYPuKN3pIHNIL/
(“I don’t need an attorney,” Isabel Martinez said through an interpreter. “My attorney is the people that we are fighting for...It does not matter what color you are because God loves us all.”

MARTINEZ, 33, is accused of killing four of her children and their father early Thursday morning at the family’s home in Loganville...

Her behavior in court was bizarre and erratic as she smiled to the media and gave two thumbs-up to the cameras. She put her hands together as if she was praying and had a smirk on her face......

"It's just that for me , the hope are always going to be the people and my faith...those are my friends, that's why I'm here,” Martinez said. “It doesn't matter here, anything else. I'm here representing the people (that are) humble and hardworking. The people that suffer. The people that have a lot of charges so that they understand that everything is possible with God.”)

      I just cannot..............this is so..........beyond.

(The victims were identified by police as Martin Romero, 33, Isabela Martinez, 10, Dacota Romero, 7, Dillan Romero, 4, and Axel Romero, 2.

Diana Romero, 9, is in serious, but stable condition at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. )

        BEATITUDE CANNOT BE ACHIEVED BY PUERICIDE.(Win 6-5..........Jay Bruce 3-5, HR..........Jose Reyes 2-3,  HR)

DETROIT TIGERS(Zimmerman) +216 over Cleveland Indians(Carrasco)------Pitcher Revenge and Team Revenge situation for Tigers and Zimmerman here.(Lose 11-2............Zimmerman rocked)

SAN DIEGO PADRES(Lamet) +181 over Cleveland Indians(Tomlin)(Lose 11-2)
SAN DIEGO PADRES(Lamet) +1.5(-112) over Cleveland Indians(Tomlin)-----It would be strange,  since the Padres have won the first two games in this series,  to say "The Padres swept the Indians in Cleveland",  which is what would be the case in SD won this game.  But the details are that the Indians have been a loss-making bet all year;  Tomlin has not been as good as he was last year.  And Lamet........has put up acceptable results.  So I'd say the Indians are still overvalued here.(Lose 11-2)

TAMPA BAY RAYS(Faria) +173 over Boston Red Sox(Sale)(Win 4-1)
TAMPA BAY RAYS(Faria) +1.5(+100) over Boston Red Sox(Sale)----Sale has always been awesome in MLB---never had a problem with walks,  hard to hit,  6'6 inches tall.  But he's beaten Tampa Bay twice this year,  so the Ray's have the Double Team Revenge at home.   And even with Sale being the best pitcher,  he's still only 32 game over .500 in his career.(Win 4-1.........Wilson Ramos 2-3, HR.........Logan Morrison 3-4...........Peter Bourjos HR)

TEXAS RANGERS(Cashner) +109 over Boston Red Sox(Fister)(Win 8-2)
Texas Rangers(Cashner) vs Boston Red Sox(Fister)  UNDER 10.5(+100)----With Andrew Benintendi going 5-5 with 2HR and 6RBI yesterday while Andrew McCutchen hit 2 HR for the Pirates,  I'm just gonna support Andrew Cashner here.(Win 8-2..........Cashner goes 7 3 0 3 4.........Rougned Odor HR.....Jurickson Profar 2-3.......Carlos Gomez 2-5 HR)

ST LOUIS CARDINALS(Leake) -131 over Miami Marlins(Volquez)-----Volquez has always had a problem with walks.   He has a no-hitter this year,  but his walks problem is just as strong as ever this year.  And Cardinals are the 9th best team in taking walks.(Lose 9-6.......Both pitcher got rocked but Leake was charged with 5 unearned runs after Errors by Luke Voil at 1st base and Matt Carpenter..........Giancarlo Stanton had 2HR for Miami)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Corbin) +272 over La Dodgers(Kershaw)(Lose 4-3)
ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Corbin) +1.5(+12) over La Dodgers(Kershaw)------The really 'witchy' thing about Kershaw is that,  when he gets rocked, his team still wins!  Dodgers are 15-2 in Kershaw starts this year.   And he does gets rocked;  Cubs and Mets both rocked him but the Dodgers won both of those games.   So here,  we have Corbin with the Pitcher Revenge for his loss to LA in April and...........Arizona has the Team Revenge vs Kershaw.   Just have to swing really hard against Kershaw and you'll hit him.(Win 4-3..........Daniel Descalso hits a 3R HR off Kenley Jansen to save this bet in the 9th)

COLORADO ROCKIES(Freeland) -127 over Cincinnati Reds(Bailey)-----I'd say the Reds' offense has improved.  But..........well,  and Bailey can't possibly do worse than his first 2 starts this year.  And the Rockies are on a 2-10 run.   But still........batters hit .279 off Freeland,  and yes,  Freeland has lost for me earlier---in fact,  the Rockies have fucked up for me more often than not it seems.  But you're getting a significantly winning team at home against markedly sub-.500 team for only -127.(Lose 8-1.........I'm done betting on Freeland----this guy is a joke.  But Rockies are too!  They got 1 ER off Bailey at home???  Rockies suck)

BOSTON RED SOX(Price) -104 over Texas Rangers(Darvish)------Price..........looks like he could be ok this year.  Darvish also good.   Texas on a 2-6 run;  Red Sox on a 7-1 run.(Win 11-4..........Yup:
THE JAPS KILLED AMELIA....Andrew Benintendi 5-5, 2HR,  6RBI.....Tzu-Wei Lin 3-4,  now hitting .360...........Jackie Bradley 3-5, HR.........Christian Vazquez 3-5)

TIGERS(Fulmer) -1.5 over Giants(Cain)-----yes, tigers are a bad team so why are they this expensive.....but,  i'll play it.(Win 5-3........Justin Upton 3-3, GWRBI.......Victor Martinez 2-4, HR)

YANKEES(Sabathia) +101 over Blue Jays(Happ)-----Blue Jays absolutely inept right now as hitters.(Lose 4-1.........Yankees totally inept vs Happ.  They get 4 total hits: Pathetic)

TWINS(Gibson) -117 over Angels-----Gibson sucks but Angels suck.(Win 5-4...........Byron Buxton 3-4, HR,  a Sagittarius from Baxley, GA)

LA ANGELS(Meyer) +111 over Minnesota Twins(Meji)------Pujols bats 3rd on this team and is hitting .233 so..........that's not an impressive offense.  Meyer's hard to hit but his walk totals are obscene(Meji's are bad too.......but not as bad).  Angels on 2-4 run;  Twins running 2-6.  I'll try Angels here because I think this matchup was played previously,  with both pitchers doing well, and the Twins won---giving the Angels the Revenge in this game.(Lose 9-5..........very poor pitch selection by Cameron Maybin against Meji,  who had good control.  Meyer walked 4 and gave 5ER.  He can throw 96-97 with some movement,  but his breaking ball should be slower.  It should be a curveball.  The way his arm bends back behind him naturally could result in a very big-breaking curveball if he tried that.   As it is now,  he seems to waste his slider outside----not a very effective pitch)

SEATTLE MARINERS(Moore) -138 over Kansas City Royals(Kennedy)-----Moore did good in his first start;  Mariners on a 2-5 run here at home.(Lose 3-1..........Moore made it through 8 innings with no walks.  But.........I don't know about this guy;  his curve is a very dull roller.   Mike Zunino:  pathetic swinging K with runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out.  Boog Powell then K'd)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES(Pivetta) +129 over New York Mets(Montero)-------ahhhh,  Mets won yesterday and also the previous game in this series.   They are actually better;  Mets have won 12 more games than Phillies and scored 87 more runs.  Pivetta..........statistically,  in this,  his first year, sucks.   But Montero's not even a starting pitcher.   So,  inferior pitching.........BUT.....Pivetta sounds like he might be as Italian as Odorizzi was yesterday.(Win 7-1..........Pivetta 7 1 1 4 4.......Daniel Nava 3-5.........Andrew Knapp 2-4..........Brock Stassi 1-1...........Nick Williams 2-5.....Tommy Joseph 2-5)

CINCINNATI REDS(Adleman) +141 over Chicago Cubs(Arrieta)--------Arrieta just not worth the juice this year............and I'll take a home team.   Cubs 1 game below .500............and they're on the road..........Ok:  I'll take the price.(Lose 6-2)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Quintana) -115 over Texas Rangers(Ross)------I took Ross 2 starts ago and he sucked.   Totally.   (He's since pitched 1 good game but I still think he sucks).  Rangers at .240 are the 3rd weakest BA in baseball.........but they do score better than CWS.(Win 6-5..........White Sox Errors by Engel,  Frazier, Sanchez and Smith............and Yolmer Sanchez hits the GWHR)

SAN DIEGO PADRES(Chacin) +181 over La Dodgers(Maeda)-----Padres have the Team Revenge against Maeda,  who beat them in San Diego May 5th.   Dodgers have scored only about 140 more runs than San Diego has.(Win 5-3............Manuel Margot 2-4, HR,  Hunter Renfroe 4-4 to move to .236........Jose Pirela 2-4)

PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Kuhl) -118 over San Francisco Giants(Moore)-----Pitching not so good here;  Moore is 3-8 on a bad team and Kuhl is also bad.   But Pirates are home with Adam Frazier..........and Todd Frazier hit 2 HR yesterday for White Sox in a win.(Lose 2-1........Both pitchers do a lot better than normal...........For Pirates,  Daniel Hudson loses the game on a Wild Pitch after he walked 2 and gave up 1 hit in 1inning of work)

CINCINNATI REDS(Stephens) +104 over Chicago Cubs(Butler)------This is Jackson Stephens.   How dare the Cubs lose for me getting only 3 total hits!   Butler goes fewer than 5 innings per start----Look:  Cubs suck this year.  Let's take advantage of these opportunities.(Win 5-3........2RBI by Jackson Stephens as a hitter..........Votto 2-3)
