CHICAGO CUBS(Quintana) -1.5(+115) over Pittsburgh Pirates(Nova)-----Cubs have the double Team Revenge against Nova who....is a fairly hittable pitcher.  Pirates ARE slightly weaker vs lhps.  At 71-60,  the Cubs are the 5th worst team to bet on(understandable as they won the WS last year).   Quintana might not be the most consistent,  but he's been ok over the long term this year.(Win 17-3..........Hmm.  2HR by Kyle Schwarber........Ian Happ 3-5 HR.........Kris Bryant 3-4.........Anthony Rizzo 2-3 HR..........Rene Rivera 3-5.    Might be interesting if I could support this team.  But they didn't pay...........they didn't pay me when they were offered the chance.   Zero tolerance for not paying me.)

TAMPA BAY RAYS(Odorizzi) +120 over Kansas City Royals(Vargas)-----TB has the Team Revenge for a very poor performance vs Vargas on May 11th.   Vargas is 14-8 which is good on his team.  And Odorizzi walks almost 1 every 2 innings,  which is not good.(Win 5-3)

OAKLAND A's(Graveman) +136 over La Angels(Bridwell)-----A's are off 2 days of terrible,  embarrassing offense and Bridwell is pretty good.   Graveman has gone 2-1 vs Angels this year,  being effective in all those games.   Maybe I feel its just time for Graveman to win for me but.....another thing:  He's from Alabama,  a state which,  I heard,  is putting up some new Confederate monuments............to combat this wicked outbreak of historical vandalism,  a trend,  stoked by the Hate Network MSNBC,  which has so obviously swamped Houston and some other southern cities.(Lose 10-8.............this was gonna win.  Then Chris Hatcher came in,  walked a guy and gave up the GW Grand Slam in the 7th in Cliff Pennington.  What a shame,  because the A's did rock Bridwell)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Ray) +121 over La Dodgers(Ryu)-----Ryu IS improving.....and AZ is weaker vs lhps.   But, all things considered,  the Dodgers don't need the game because they've already won too many.  But Arizona needs to keep winning to maintain the Wild Card they're on track for.  So you have a home team at +121 know throwing one of their best pitchers.........and their opponent doesn't need the game.(Win 6-4)
