SAN DIEGO PADRES(Waldron) +120 over La Dodgers(Glasnow)-----Dodgers have won 6 more games and scored 31 more runs than Padres.   Glasnow's last 3 starts have been bad and he's gotten no wins out of them.  Padres are on a 7-1 streak and Waldron has the DOUBLE REVENGE.(Win 6-5...........a comeback  win after Waldron gets rocked.  Machado 2HRs..........Solano gets the GWRBI and Robert Suarez gets the Win)

MIAMI MARLINS(Cabrera) +145 over Tampa Bay Rays(Springs)------Marlins have scored 38 fewer runs than Rays but are on a 7-4 run(Tampa is on a 6-4 streak).   Springs is 21-10 lifetime.  He's had 3 starts this year,  which have been good,  all resulting in wins.   Why has he started so seldom?   Cabrera is 14-17 lifetime and he's always had one problem:  Extreme wildness.   But with Jazz Chisolm traded and Xavier Edwards now hitting .379,  I'll take them.(Lose 9-3......... 3-1 Marlins when Cabrera comes out in the 5th.........then they get rocked)

Sunday, July 28, 2024

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Herz) +129 over Stl Cardinals(Mikolas)---------Mikolas is hard to predict but Nationals have the Revenge against him.  And Herz has the Revenge vs Cardinals,  who are on a 3-6 streak.  Nationals have scored 18 more runs than Stl,  while Stl has won 4 more games.(Lose 4-3.........Dylan Floro gives up the game losing HR to Goldschmidt)

MIAMI MARLINS(Tyler) +175 over Milwaukee Brewers(Myers)---Has the 'Tyler' name been doing good?  I think I've seen it do good.  Marlins are 6-3 after the All-Star break.  Yes,  they are about 100 runs behind the Brewers,  but Edwards is literally hitting .349 for them.  Xavier.(Lose 6-2............Edwards hits for the cycle.........and they still lose.)

OAKLAND A's(Bido) +124 over La Angels(Soriano)---------A's 7-2 after All-Star break and the team is red hot.   Butler's average has gone from .211 on July 14th to .256 now.   The A's names are well-balanced with a Tyler,  Miguel,  Harris,  Abraham and a Lawrence and I definitely want them now as underdogs.(Lose 8-6............A's blow 6-0 lead  WTF?)

SAN DIEGO PADRES(Vazquez) +125 over Baltimore Orioles(Suarez)------Vazquez's last 5 starts have been good,  Suarez has allowed 20ER in his last 27 innings.(Lose 8-6..........Vazquez really sucks with 4 BBs in 2 innings.  Orioles took 8 walks in total)

SEATTLE MARINERS(Miller) -125 over Chicago White Sox(Crochet)-----Both pitchers are good,  but CWS have gone 8-14 in Crochet's starts.   Mariners have scored 79 more runs then White Sox,  and I like how Robles leads off now.(Win 6-3...........Cal Raleigh 2-5 HR)

GERMANY +135 over Usa----------USA soccer is past-its-time.(Lose 4-1.........absolute disgrace for Germany)

Saturday, July 27, 2024

KANSAS CITY ROYALS(Lugo) -132 over Chicago Cubs(Imanaga)------Streak-wise,  KC is 5-2 and Cubs are 2-5.  Royals have scored 60 more runs and Lugo is having the best season of his career.(Lose 9-4........Sam Long gives up the grand slam to Patrick Wisdom)

SAN DIEGO PADRES(King) -112 over Baltimore Orioles(Kremer)----Orioles are +28 runs on Padres but Padres have the highest batting average in baseball,  which is coming into effect here as the Padres are on a 6-0 streak.   King's last 4 starts have been excellent.  Kremer's ERA is 4.43 and he doesn't seem to pitch as many innings per game as King.  Orioles are a top team but they've just gone 4-9.   SD has a 'Jake'  a name,  as 'Jacob',  that helped us out yesterday.(Win 9-4...........Machado 3-5 HR)

Friday, July 26, 2024

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Gore) +150 over Stl Cardinals(Gray)-----Washington has scored 5 more runs than Cardinals and they rocked Gray last time but still lost,  giving them the Revenge against him.   Recently,  Gore has not been good,  walking 12 in his last 10 innings.  But Gray has given 16ER in his last 23 innings.(Win 10-8...........Jacob Young game winning triple getting the Win for Jacob Barnes)

TEXAS RANGERS(Heaney) +105 over Toronto Blue Jays(Kikuchi)----------Heaney has lost for me before this season.  But Rangers are on a 5-0 streak.  They've won 4 of Heaney last 5 starts.  They've outscored the Blue Jays by 31 runs.  Kikuchi's last seven starts have resulted in only 1 Toronto win.  We have a Corey and a Robbie on this Rangers team,  along with Andrew and Lowe,  a name that crushed me and the Blue Jays yesterday.(Lose 6-5..........Heaney sucks up)

ATLANTA BRAVES(Morton) +117 over New York Mets(Senga)-------Morton is good and he has the Revenge against Mets.  Braves are only 8-11 in July,  but both teams have won 54 games.  Mets have gone 14-7 in July and outscored Braves by 72 Runs.  Senga has not pitched this season.(Lose 8-4..........Morton totally rocked)

Thursday, July 25, 2024

TORONTO BLUE JAYS(Bassitt) -110 over Tampa Bay Rays(Bradley)---------Bradley is good,  but Bassitt has the Revenge.  Tor is up 10 runs on TB.(Lose 13-0.............Fucking sick)

Wednesday, July 24, 2024

OAKLAND A's(Sears) +134 over Houston Astros(Brown)---Oakland is now on a 5-1 streak.  Astros are +42 runs on Oakland and Sears has won his last 3 starts.(Lose 8-1)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Ray) +165 over La Dodgers(Glasnow)--------Last 7 games SF has scored either 2 or 3 runs.   So they need a catalyst to hit better.   Glasnow hasn't pitched since July 5th.  In fact,  the Giants do have the Revenge against him for the April 3rd game.(Win 8-3.............Ray manages to throw a 5 inning no-hitter after..............how many wild pitches and hit batters??)

Tuesday, July 23, 2024

MINNESOTA TWINS(Woods-Richardson) +125 over Philadelphia Phillies(Wheeler)-----Phillies have won 8 more games than Twins,  but only scored 9 more runs.  Wheeler and Woods-Richardson are both pretty good, with batters hitting .192 off Wheeler.(Lose 3-0)

OAKLAND A's(Bido) +115 over Houston Astros(Bloss)-------A's now on a 4-1 streak.  Bloss has had only 2 games which were bad for him.(Win 8-2............Butler, Rooker and Brown HRs)

Monday, July 22, 2024

OAKLAND A's(Harris) +125 over Houston Astros(Arrighetti)-------Both pitchers walk 1 every 2 innings,  but Harris is at home,  with the Harris name taking over the Dem ticket.  Harris has pitched a 3inn no-hitter vs Astros yet the Astros still won the game.  So call that home Revenge for Harris.  Astros have won 13 more games and scored 52 more runs.  A's are 9-6 in July, Astros are 10-6 in July.(Win 4-0.........Harris: 6 7 0 2 7...........JJ Bleday 3-4,  Lawrence Butler 2-4,  Max Schuemann 2-3)

DETROIT TIGERS(Skubal) -118 over Cleveland Guardians(Carrasco)-------Tigers are running 10-3 and Skubal himself is 10-3.  Cleve has won 10 more games and scored 33 more runs,  yet they are on a 2-6 streak and only 7-9 in July.   Carrasco is highly beatable,  at 3-7.(Win 8-2........Vierling 3 hits and Mark Canha 3 hits,   Malloy and Keith HRs)

Sunday, July 21, 2024

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Irvin) -108 over Cincinnati Reds(Abbott)-----Nationals are on a 4-1 streak,  they have Lane Thomas,  are hitting 9 pts better than Reds.   Irvin has been brutally rocked in his last 2 starts,  yet he has the Revenge against Reds here at home.   Abbott was rocked by Marlins in his last start.(Win 5-2...........James Wood GWHR,  Robert Garcia gets the Win)

BOSTON RED SOX(Crawford) +105 over La Dodgers(Paxton)------Paxton is clearly getting worse,  walking over 1 every 2inn now.   Crawford's last 3 starts have been very good, and he's thrown a .212 average against this year.(Lose 9-6.........Crawford give up 6 ER,  Gavin Lux was 3-4, HR for LA)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Thorpe) +190 over Kansas City Royals(Lugo)------CWS are by far the worst team in baseball.   And the Royals have outscored them this year by 140 runs.  However,  Thorpe,  in 6 starts,  has thrown a .162 average...........while walking 1 every 2 innings.  Lugo is having a great season,  yet Royals are only 3-5 in his last 8 starts.   Thorpe has the Revenge vs KC and CWS has the Revenge against Lugo.   So........CWS is locked and loaded on the Revenge here in this game.........tho they are approaching an historically bad winning percentage.(Lose 4-1............Thorpe did well(he short-arms it) and they had a 1-0 lead,  but John Brebbia got in there and lost it.  Lugo was 9 3 1 0 6)

THIRSTON LAWRENCE to win British Open +1800-------This is an amazingly good price for someone just 1 stroke off the lead.(Lose...........He HAD the lead at one point)

Saturday, July 20, 2024

TEXAS RANGERS(Scherzer) +101 over Baltimore Orioles(Rodriguez)-----Baltimore is clearly the better offense,  having scored 68 more runs than Texas.  Scherzer has pitched a few games this year and he actually has the Revenge here at home.  Rangers are 8-5 in July while Orioles are 6-7.  In yet another Emily Compagno clothes-colored beat downs yesterday,  the A's won 13-3 with Max Schuemann going 3-4 w/HR.   So I'll take Max Scherzer here.(Lose 8-4..........No, Scherzer rocked.  Guess someone has to pay that guy)

COLORADO ROCKIES(Freeland) +145 over San Francisco Giants(Webb)-------OMG----Webb was in the All-Star game!   Where he......got rocked in one innings.  SF has only scored 20 more than Col.   Freeland's last 4 games have been good.  Rockies are 7-8 in July and are on a 2 game winning streak.(Win 4-3...........Tovar 2-4 HR)

STL CARDINALS(Gray) -110 over Atlanta Braves(Elder)---------Atl has won 3 more games and scored 9 more runs than Stl.   But Gray is pretty good,  at 9-6 this season.  Elder has thrown a .305 average this year and, though he technically has the revenge here,  we'll go against him.(Win 9-5........Alec Burleson 3-4...........Nolan Gorman HR)

Friday, July 19, 2024

HOUSTON ASTROS(Brown) -102 over Seattle Mariners(Castillo)-------Brown has been rocked only once in his last 10 starts and, yes,  he has the Revenge.  Astros on a 4-2 run and they've scored 78 more runs than Seattle.  (Win 3-0)

Thursday, July 18, 2024

JUSTIN THOMAS +1000 to win British Open---------Alllll day,  baby,  all fucking day. (Lose.........he fucked right up on Friday)

Sunday, July 14, 2024

KANSAS CITY ROYALS(Singer) +116 over Boston Red Sox(Bello)-----Singer is good,  walking fewer than 1 every 3 innings.  Yet he is only 5-5.   Boston has scored 3 more runs than KC.  Bello is getting worse----a .224 average against in mid May has turned it into a .277 average.(Lose 5-4.........Singer surprisingly get rocked in 2 innings)

LA ANGELS(Fulmer) +150 over Seattle Mariners(Gilbert)----------Certainly,  I can see why Seattle is favored, even though the Angels are hitting 16 pts higher than Seattle and have scored 5 more runs.   Fulmer has not started this year.  In the games he has pitched,  the Angels are 3-21.  So..........that's just how he's been used...........until now.  He does have a walks problem: in 183 career innings,  he's walked 108.  Yet he's throwing a .215 average this year.   He probably won't pitch more than 3 innings in this game,  but he has one of the world's most important names.   As a 6 foot RHP, he's "undersized".   But sometimes,  in MLB,  you just have to prove yourself and do way better than you've done.   Or you go to the minors;  leave the "Show".  Angels have won 2 straight.(Win 3-2..........A surprising 4.2inn no-hitter by Fulmer,  Jo Adell GWHR)

Friday, July 12, 2024

SAN DIEGO PADRES(Vazquez) -116 over Atlanta Braves(Schwellenbach)-------Padres on an 0-4 run yet they've scored 45 more runs than Braves and are hitting 19 points higher.  Vazquez does have the Revenge vs Braves.   He's thrown a sorry .332 batting average against,  but his last 3 starts have been good.  Additionally,  we did see Brandon Lowe go 3-4 and Randy Arozarena hit an HR for Tampa yesterdayBrandon Marsh went 2-4 HR yesterday and Grandal had the GWRBI yesterday.  That obviously spells RANDY Vazquez.(Cancelled..............Waldron started but Atl won 6-1)

Wednesday, July 10, 2024

DETROIT TIGERS(Olson) +127 over Cleveland Guardians(Bibee)---------This will be a Revenge game for the May 8th game.  Olson shut them down but still lost----or the team lost.  Bibee got rocked but his team won.   Olson's only had 4 bad starts.........other than that he's been very good.  Guardians are 65 runs up on Tigers. But Colt Keith has a 7-game hitting streak.  (Win 5-4)

MARLINS(Hoenig) parlayed with ROCKIES(Freeland) +660--------Freeland's last 3 starts have been good and Col definitely has the Revenge vs Montas.   Rockies are hitting 17 pts higher than Reds,  who have scored 21 more runs than Rockies.  Rockies are 6-10 going back.   Hoenig has thrown a .214 average but has not thrown many innings per game.   He does seem good.  Astros are 5-3 in July after going 9-1 before that.  And their offense is of course much better than Miami's.(Lose 9-1..........yeah,  Hoenig does suck)

Tuesday, July 09, 2024

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Fedde) +145 over Minnesota Twins(Ober)--------Fedde,  who is pretty good to be 6-3 on this horrible team,  has the home Revenge against the Twins for a game in which he K'd 11 Twins but still didn't win.  White Sox also have the Revenge vs Ober.   It was comical how CWS didn't win last night,  with Jordan Leasure coming in and blowing the game in less than an inning.  Twins are up 154 runs on CWS.  And it is........somewhat amazing how many game the White Sox simply don't win.  But today,  we'll play them.(PPD  Win 3-1........they did play this game the next day and I did get in at +270 in the first inning after Fedde had some runners on base in the 1st inning.  Luis Robert HR)

OAKLAND A's(Estes) +175 over Boston Red Sox(Bello)----Oakland has the Revenge against Bello,  who allowed 4 ER vs them but still won.   At an ERA of 5.19 and a BA against of .269,  he's clearly the type of pitcher who is beatable and hittable.   A's on a 4-2 run.  Estes coming off his CG SHO and on the limited data,  he can clearly do good,  throwing a .234 BA.(Lose 12-9............God Estes sucks:  1 7 8 1 1.  Thought he might be good.)

Monday, July 08, 2024

PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Keller) -145 LIVE over New York Mets(Scott)-----I'll try the Pirates again.(Win 8-2..........Palacios HR and Oneill Cruz 2-3 HR)

Sunday, July 07, 2024

MINNESOTA TWINS(Woods-Richardson) -145 over Houston Astros(Arrighetti)(Win 3-2)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Woods-Richarson) -1.5(+135) over Houston Astros(Arrighetti)-----Twins are on a 9-4 streak and are +17 runs on Astros.   Arrighetti is walking more than 1 every 2 innings and his ERA is 6.13.(Lose 3-2..........Christian Vazquez 2-4 GWHR........got all 3 of his team's RBIs)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES(Mercado) +141 over Atlanta Braves(Lopez)-------Lopez has walked 8 in his last two starts.   Phillies offense is WAY better than Braves,  who are on a 6-8 run.  Phillies have Castellanos,  a name that saved the game for us last night.  Phillies on a 9-5 run.(Lose 6-0............Mercado does not show up and Phillies don't score)

Saturday, July 06, 2024

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Pfaadt) +106 over San Diego Padres(Waldron)-----Pfaadt actually has the double Revenge against the Padres.  He doesn't have a problem with walks and he's moderately hard to hit(.240).   But his 4.28 ERA means he tends to give up runs.   Arizona has the Revenge vs Waldron,  although they did hit him earlier in the year.   Christian Walker didn't have an HRs yesterday?  What up with that?   Well,  AZ lost but still scored 8 runs.  They are on a 4-2 streak,  have scored 3 fewer runs than SD this year.(Win 7-5.....Humberto Castellanos finally comes in and shuts them down.  Christian Walker 2-5)

Friday, July 05, 2024

DETROIT TIGERS(Olson) +116 over Cincinnati Reds(Spiers)---------Olson's last 3 have been good but he doesn't seem to get the Win very much,  at 2-8.   I'd say the Tigers owe him a win.   They are on a sorry 3-7 streak while Reds,  after just sweeping the Yankees,  are on a 7-6 run and have scored 18 more runs than Tigers.(Win 5-4.............Colt Keith 2 HRs,  Zanesville, OH.  Riley Greene 3-4 HR)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES(Nola) +122 over Atlanta Braves(Fried)-----Nola is a good pitcher and he has the Revenge here.   Phillies have 10 more wins than Atl does and has scored 71 more runs and has a 15pt better batting average.   So this is a much better offense with Nola.(Win 8-6........Johan Rojas 2-5, 2Runs,  SB..........Trea Turner 2 HR)

Thursday, July 04, 2024

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Irvin) over New York Mets(Quintana) parlayed with PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Perez) over St Louis Cardinals(Pallante) +281-------Irvin has done pretty well,  and while Perez and Pallante haven't been very good,  Joey Estes pitched a CG SHO yesterday and Nationals have a Joey and Pirates have Connor Joe.(Lose 3-2............Pirates couldn't score the one run............for 5 innings)

Wednesday, July 03, 2024

HOUSTON ASTROS(Blanco) -108 over Toronto Blue Jays(Kikuchi)---Toronto does have the home revenge for Blanco's April 1st no-hitter against them.  But Blanco is pretty good----a .171 average against.  Astros are actually on a 10-2 run and have scored 54 more runs than Toronto.  In addition,  Kikuchi has been rocked in 5 of his last 7 starts.(Win 9-2.............Yordan Alvarez 3-4 HR.........Diaz 3-4)

Tuesday, July 02, 2024

MINNESOTA TWINS(Woods-Richardson) -116 over Detroit Tigers(Skubal)-------Both teams have the Revenge vs these pitchers but Twins offense is much better and they are on a 14-6 run.(Win 5-3........Carlos Correa HR.........Margot 2-4 HR)

TORONTO BLUE JAYS(Berrios) -115 over Houston Astros(Arrighetti)-----Toronto's offense is inferior, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt here as Arrighetti has walked more than 1 every 2 innings and has just gotten his BA against down to .270.(Win 7-6...........Spencer Horwitz HR average up to .306.........George Springer HR)

Monday, July 01, 2024

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Gore) +105 over New York Mets(Peterson)------Mets are on a 12-4 run but that has put them to the place where they've only won 1 more game than Washington.  Nationals are 4-8 recently but Gore has the Revenge vs Mets............at home.  Peterson walks 1 every 2 innings but Mets are +52 Runs up on Nationals.(Lose 9-7............Hunter Harvey 4 ER in 0.2 of an inning to lose the game late.  Gore did fine.)
