OAKLAND A's(Ginn) +185 over Detroit Tigers(Skubal)-----Ginn is 7-4. A's have scored 37 more runs and hit 12pts higher.  skubal is only 4-4.  

 USA to go through over Belgium -114

USA +150 over Belgium in regulation------teams have all of the right numbers but Belgium doesn't have a Robinson.  And US has 2.  USA has a loss to Turkey and Belgium has draws with Iran and Egypt.  Belgium was down 2-0 up to the 86th minute v Senegal last game .... And somehow won that game.   strange.  US is still 30-1 to win the cup.  honestly I find that equally strange.

TAMPA BAY RAYS(Jax) -108 over New York Yankees(Schlittler)

 BALTIMORE ORIOLES(Bradish) -110 over Cincinnati Reds(Lodolo)-----Reds on 3-9 run. lodolo a 5.05 ERA....reds have gone 2-8 when he pitches.  Orioles have scored 45 more runs and are 10 pts up in BA.  Orioles have gone 8-9 for Bradish who walks 1 every 2.  Orioles have won 2 more games.

 SEATTLE MARINERS(Castillo) +108 over Toronto Blue Jays(Cease)-----Seattle at home, on a 3-0 run.  Seattle +3 Runs but 16 pts down on BA.   Cease is the better pitcher but he's walked 1 every 2 innings,  more than Castillo.   Mariners have gone only 6-10 when Castillo starts, his ERA is 4.93 but he is a Sagittarius.(Lose 2-0...........not much hitting in this game)

TEXAS RANGERS(Eovaldi) -130 over Detroit Tigers(Valdez)------Tigers have scored 12 more runs than Texas while TX has hit 9pts higher.   Eovaldi has walked only 1 every 4 innings while Valdez has walked slightly more than 1 every 3 innings.  Rangers on a 6-1 run while Tigers have just gone 4-2.   While we saw Heliot Ramos go 2-4 w/HR yesterday wearing #17 we also saw Malik Tillman #17 score for US yesterday.   Eovaldi is #17.   Texas also has Eze Duran,  who has hit .273 this year,  who is #20,  and we saw the USA's #20 also score yesterday before being carded.   Tx has had some holes in its lineup but not little Nicky Lopez(.341) and many of those players are not starting now.   Eovaldi has returned a 9-7 record to his team while Valdez has returned a 7-10 record.(Win 10-4.........Good game.  Carter 2-2 HR,  Josh Smith 2-2 HR,  Lopez 3-5,  Diaz 2-4 HR,  Josh Jung 2-3...........Osuna 3-5)

OAKLAND A's(Ginn) +145 over La Dodgers---------A's at home on a 2-8 run.   A's have gone 12-6 when Ginn pitches,  and his BA against is .222.  Dodgers have scored 67 more runs and hit 19pts higher than A's.  Dodgers don't have a starter listed.   So I see this as an invitation for an A's victory.  Who could hit for A's?  Well, Kurtz is at .276,  Henry Bolte came up in May and has hit .287, Langeliers at .263 and Jonah Heim at a too low .239.(Win 7-1............Jonah Heim 2-3 HR,  Alike Williams HR)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Ryan) -115 over Houston Astros(Burrows)-----Twins have only gone 9-8 when Ryan pitches but his stats are excellent----.219 and walking only 1 every 4.5 innings.   Twins have scored 26 more runs and hit 6pts higher than Astros.   Batters have hit .284 off Burrows and Astros have gone 6-10 when he pitches.(Lose 6-5..........Ryan strangely rocked: 4 6 6 3 5)

NEW YORK METS(McLean) +105 over Toronto Blue Jays(Gausman)--------Gausman's been rocked in his last 2 starts.  Both offenses are weak.  Blue Jays on a 1-6 run while Mets are on a 1-9 run.  Mets are 9-17 in June.  The holes in Mets offense can be named as Vientos,  their DH, hitting .209.   Overall,  McLean is throwing a .204 average and has walked 1 every 2.5 innings while the team has only gone 6-11 when he has started for them.  Blue Jays have scored 5 more Runs than Mets,  but hit 17 pts higher while winning 5 more games.    Gausman seems to be getting worse,  as his BA against is up to .249.   (Win 3-0.............Luis Torrens and Francisco Alvarez HRs)

PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Ashcraft) +102 over Philadelphia Phillies(Nola)----Pirates have outscored Phi by 61 Runs and they've hit 22pts higher.   Phillies have gone 17-8 in June and have won 6 more games than Pitt.   Pirates have gone 10-6 when Ashcraft has started and he's walked only 1 every 4 innings while throwing a .232 average.   He does have the Revenge here vs Phillies.  Nola has been far more hittable with a .280 BA against.(Win 11-7...........Esmerlyn Valdez 2-3 HR,  Triolo HR,  Endy Rodriguez 2-3 HR)

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Mikolas) +155 over Boston Red Sox(Suarez)--------Batters have hit .271 off Mikolas but 3 of his last 4 starts have been pretty good.   He can be bad,  but he's not always bad.   Red Sox just swept Yankees at home.   So they're confident,  but they've still been outscored by 121 Runs by Nationals.  Suarez has a .225 BA against.   Nationals have won 7 more games than Boston.  I'll take the better offense.(Lose 6-3)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Ray) +135 over Atlanta Braves(Sale)-----Sale is walking 1 every 4 and Braves have gone 9-5 when he pitches.   Braves have scored 59 more Runs but SF is hitting 7pts higher.   Braves do have the revenge vs Ray who just shut them down but Braves are on a bad 4-11 streak while SF has won their last 6 when Ray has started.   In fact, Giants are 10-6 when Ray starts.  Ray does seem to be getting better with his BA against down to .221.  SF at home.(Win 3-2............Arraez 2-3,  Ray 8 4 0 1 2)

LA ANGELS(Detmers) -108 over Oakland A's(Perkins)------A's are hitting 10pts better than Angels and have scored 7 more Runs.  Perkins has 4 starts,  a .257 BA against and a 6.26 ERA.  And he's from Kokomo, Indiana.   Detmers has clearly been a much better pitcher,  walking 1 every 3.5 innings,  throwing a .206 average...........and Angels have gone 8-9 when he pitches.  Angels on a 4-2 run.(Win 5-2...........Jo Adell 2-2,  Guzman 2-4)

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.(Lose 3-2............Good work by #14 Sebastian Berhalter with goal and Assist to #6..........USA's 20 and 17 never saw the pitch.  'Course,  they didn't need to win this game...........and they didn't.   Gotta get serious)

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.(Win 10-5.........Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner 3-5)

GHANA +1333 over England----So we'll only lose if England wins outright.(Lose 0-0)

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Griffin) -125 over Philadelphia Phillies(Mayza)------Mayza is a relief pitcher who is cloaking................probably not Sanchez,  because he just pitched.   Griffin's a really good pitcher and Nationals have gone 11-4 when he pitches.   In fact,  Nationals have scored 87 more runs than Phillies and have hit 14 pts higher.   Nationals on a 5-3 Run.(Win 4-1......he was cloaking Rangel,  who I don't know,  but he did well.  HRs by Curtis Mead and Garcia)

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)
