DETROIT TIGERS(Melton) -115 over Houston Astros(Imai)------Imai has a 6inning no-hitter vs Texas this year but he's walking more than 1 ever 2 innings.  His ERA is 6.15.  Astros have scored 46 more Runs than Tigers and have hit 8pts higher.  Melton is good, though,  with Tigers going 5-1 when he starts.  Tigers on a 4-2 streak.

USA -125 over Turkey-------It seems that Turkey has the 14 and the 20,  but they haven't yet scored a goal in this WC.  USA has the 17, 9 and 20,  with two 'Robinson's.

CHICAGO CUBS(Imanaga) -105 over New York Mets(Manaea)--------Cubs have outscored Mets by 58 Runs and have hit 13 pts higher.   Imanaga was blasted in 4 consecutive recent starts but he is still very hard to hit(.217) and has walked 1 every 4 innings.   Mets have gone 4-12 when Manaea pitches,  not sure all of those were starts.   Mets on a 2-6 run.   Batters hit .262 off Manaea.

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Ray) -1.5(+160) over Oakland A's(Civale)-----Oakland has won 7 more games and scored 47 more runs,  while SF has hit 7pts higher.  Civale has been rocked in his last 3 starts and is throwing a .306 average.  Giants on a 3-3 run.   Giants have scored 7, 11, 18, 19, 8 in Ray's last 5 starts.   He may actually be pitching better but the trend is:  Robbie Ray gets run support.  So I would be surprised if Civale shuts them down.(Win 3-1..........awesom 8 2 0 4 6 by Ray.  Adames 2-4,  Lee 2-3 HR then he goes into right field and drops an easy fly ball.  Hmmmm?)

NEW YORK YANKEES(Cole) -125 over Detroit Tigers(Valdez)--------Why is this line moving down?  Cole is throwing .196 and Yankees have scored 75 more  runs than Tigers and hit 10pts higher.  Yes,  Detroit is on a 4-2 run but they've only gone 6-9 when Valdez pitches,  who is.............not as good as he once was.   At least I don't think so.(Lose 5-3..........Cole: 4 9 5 1 5)

LA ANGELS(Soriano) +140 over Oakland A's(Springs)------------Springs is coming off 3 straight rockings;  batters have hit .260 off him.   Trout is OUT, but he's only hit .234 this year.    Angels have gone 9-6 when Soriano pitches and..........he has the Revenge vs Oakland.  A's have outscored Angels by 11 runs this year and have hit 13pts higher.   Soriano has thrown a .208 average and walked about 1 every 2 innings.   Angels have Nick Madrigal and Oswald.(Lose 12-11.............Not even baseball at this Las Vegas stadium.  Angels had an 11-4 lead in the 6th inning and A's get 1 in 6th,  2 in 7th, 2 in 8th,  2 in 9th and 1 in 10th inning.   Not even baseball)

MIAMI MARLINS(Bachar) -120 over San Francisco Giants(Roupp)-------Marlins are 11-4 in June and while Bachar may be a 1 or 2 inning pitcher,  SF is 0-8 in Roupp's last 8 starts.  Miami has 14 more runs this year than Giants.(Win 4-3.......#17 Owen Caissie 3-3 HR,  GWRBI)

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Alvarez) -127 over Kansas City Royals(Spence)------Nationals are 5-2 with Alvarez pitching.   They've scored 104 more runs than KC and have hit 5pts higher.   Spence..........I don't know;  he's pitched one game and got rocked.(Win 7-3..........Dylan Crews 3-Run HR,  Nasim Nunez 2-2 w/BB)

NEW YORK KNICKS -130 over San Antonio Spurs----------Brunson needs to get luckier on his shots;  he was only 3-9 in the 4th quarter last game.   Fortunately,  the rest of the Knicks did score well enough,  but just barely.(Lose 115-111.............Trump in the house,  and they lose with 28 from Anunoby and 32 from Brunson,  Hart 16pts.  Spurs only 8 TOs,   not intimidated by MSG)
