COLORADO ROCKIES(Feltner) +240 over New York Yankees(Fried)-------Rockies have gone 0-5 in Feltner's last 5 starts.   Feltner has my initials.   Yankees have gone 4-5 in Fried's last 9 starts.  He seems to pitch 5 innings or fewer a lot.   Rockies offense is better,  hitting a whopping 19 pts higher than NYY and they've scored 26 more runs.   So..............at this price,  yeah,  I'll play them.

CLEVELAND GUARDIANS(Griffin) -115 over Baltimore Orioles(Baz)-----------Griffin's teams have gone 21-8 when he pitches while Orioles have gone 7-21 for Baz.   What a huge difference.  Orioles are 1-7 in August.   Guardians are just barely in the Wild Card and have won 4 more games than Orioles.

WASHINGTON NATIONALS(Cornelio) +172 over San Diego Padres(Mize)------Wood is back for Nationals who have hit 12pts higher than SD and scored 145 more runs.   Cornelio seems to be a Roman name and he is not a starting pitcher.   He should be out of there in 2 innings if he sucks.    The reality is Mize is just not getting better.  He's getting worse.   His team has gone 3-6 for him in his last 9 starts as he's given up 45 Hits in those last 41 innings, as well as a good number of Runs.  Washington has just gone 5-6 while Padres have just gone 4-6.  Padres have won 9 more games and are just below Arizona for the WC,  which they should miss as their offense is too weak.

FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES +3(-112) over Smu Mustangs------Both teams have the 6 on offense and defense.  But FSU has 14 at QB and on defense..........Smu doesn't have the number which is very important.   Then we see FSU having a 9 and 20 on defense.  And..........Fsu has a Robinson.   Yes,  Florida has been targeted..........for being too Republican and completely insensate to Palestinian suffering.  But they did have a Prime Air plane crash in Miami yesterday.   You can hate on FLA but you can't hate on those numbers.(Push 27-24...............FSU gets the +3 TO and cant cover because..............they were outgained by 261 yds)

CINCINNATI REDS(Burns) +130 over La Dodgers----------Dodgers have scored more than 100 more Runs than Reds but they don't have an SP named.   Which means it could be Sheehan.   Reds have gone 19-7 when Burns pitches and Reds are on a 7-3 streak.(Lose 6-3...........Reds out hit them 7-3.  Burns goes 3 nearly perfect innings(44 ptiches) then comes out..........and Williamson comes in to walk 5,  and let in 3 ER. ????)

COLORADO ROCKIES(Gordon) +118 over Stl Cardinals(Leahy)-----Gordon has the Revenge against Stl and Rockies have the Revenge vs Leahy,  who throws a .263 average and walks 1 every 3.2 innings.   Gordon has walked fewer than 1 every 5 innings but hitters hit .301 off him.   His last two starts have been good.   Rockies record is terrible but their offense is not.  They've hit 11 pts higher than Stl and scored 24 more Runs.   Rockies on a little 3-1 winning streak.(Lose 10-8.............5-1 lead after the 4th----they rocked Leahy...........then got rocked)

TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE +13.5 over Oklahoma State Cowboys(Win 24-10)

TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE +420 over Oklahoma State Cowboys------OSU didn't win any games last year.   Tulsa won 3 games so Oklahoma State has the revenge.   But Tulsa is at home here, with a TE named Roberts and a Robinson on defense.   They also have #20 Jones and David Wells.  And a 'Hunter'.  Hard to know how a team will play on its first game,  but this is a lot of points.(Win 24-10..........Tulsa was +3 TO.............-12 First Downs and -7 yards.   Alston 2 TDs)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Pfaadt) -102 over Houston Astros(Pecko)-----AZ is right on the cusp of the Wild Card while Houston is leading the sorry AL West.   Surely Arizona needs this game more.  Pecko has walked 9 in his 13 innings.  He only has 3 starts while Pfaadt is a good pitcher this year,  with AZ going 10-2 in his last 12 games.(Win 4-3...............GWRBI Gabriel Moreno)

 SAN JOSE STATE SPARTANS +2.5 over EMU Eagles-----SJS has #14 Robertson, Solomon, Lee and Danielson on defense.  Isaiah Carlson at RB and Luke Weaver at QB.  SE Michigan just got TARGETED by rain, wind gusts and tornado warning weather.  I'll take san jose.(Win 27-21)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Matthews) +107 over Chicago White Sox(Fedde)-----Twins have won Matthews' last 6 starts and Matthews has allowed only 3 ER over his last 21 innings.    Twins have hit 10 pts higher than CWS while White Sox have scored 4 more runs.   CWS on a 1-4 run right now.  Twins have gone 4-5.  Twins have gone 11-8 in all of Matthews' games.(Lose 4-1...............Twins out hit them 8-6 but there is no run support for Matthews)

CINCINNATI REDS(Lowder) +140 over Milwaukee Brewers(Drohan)-----Drohan is .253 1 every 3 innings.  Lowder is .267 1 every 2.5 innings.   So Drohan is better, returning a 17-10 record to his team when he has pitched.  Reds have gone 12-12 for Lowder.   Was I impressed by how Milwaukee went 2-2 vs Cubs?..............not really.  They've scored 124 more runs than the Reds.   They are on a 6-5 run.   Reds on a 5-2 run.    But this is home Revenge for Reds.  Lowder has lost twice to Brewers and Drohan has beaten Reds twice.   Reds have gone 7-2 when I've bet on them.(Lose 10-7...........Both starters rocked.)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Tidwell) +145 over Pittsburgh Pirates(Bachar)------SF on a bit of a winning run,  having gone 6-4 while Pirates have just gone 4-6.  Tidwell is at .239 walking 1 every 3 innings.  While Bachar is better than that,  he's never gone more than 3 innings in a game and usually 2 or less.  Pirates have scored 102 more Runs.(Lose 5-2...............Giants suck.  2 HIts.  Pathetic)

MINNESOTA TWINS(Kremer) -113 over Detroit Tigers(Anderson)-----Tigers on a 3-14 run and they are getting blasted.   Kremer does have the Revenge vs Tigers here at home.  Twins are 53 Runs up on Tigers and have hit 10pts higher.   Anderson walks about 1 every 2.5 innings and has just begun starting.(Lose 11-6...........Jesus Christ Twins suck)

OAKLAND A's(Lopez) +149 over Texas Rangers(Bradford)-------Lopez's last 7 starts have been definitely good enough to win.   I think he went 3-4.   Bradford's only had 5 starts.  Oakland has scored 32 more Runs than Texas.(Win 9-2)

STL CARDINALS +205 over La Dodgers(Yamamoto)--------Not sure who is starting for Stl.  Dodgers are up 55 Runs on Stl but are on a 2-5 streak.   Thomas Saggese had 2 HRs last night.  Now who would think that could happen?   They also have..........Nathan Church.   Stl has just gone 8-9.(Win 8-6...........Thomas Saggese 2-4, HR,  Josh Baez 2-2,  putting him up to .203,  GWRBI)

KANSAS CITY ROYALS(Dobnak) -115 over Miami Marlins(Phillips)-----Royals on a 13-3 streak,  at home with Randy Dobnak,  a day after Randy Arozarena went 4-5, HR.  Marlins have scored 7 more runs so no real offensive advantage in this game.   Marlins have gone 10-22 in games Phillips has pitched in.(Lose 6-3..............How...........does Phillips go 5 1 0 2 4 against the Royals???   Horrible bet and game.  Oh,  it was Graham Pauley who was 2-4, HR for Miami)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX(Burke) -106 over Houston Astros(Blanco)-----Burke's a Sagittarius and CWS have gone 15-12 when he pitches.  CWS have scored 25 more Runs than Houston.  CWS on a 5-3 run while Houston on a 5-2 run.   Blanco's just................not as good.  He hasn't pitched nearly as much as Burke.(Win 5-1............Meidroth, Vargas and Montgomery 2-4.  Burke 5 1 0 4 6)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Rodriguez) +115 over Philadelphia Phillies(Luzardo)-----I got 'So Good' by Jennifer Lopez and then Gold by ADventure Club.   I'll go with the AD,  because even tho Phillies have gone 15-3 in Luzardo's last 18 pitching appearances,  AZ has gone 12-3 in Rodriguez' last 15.   There is simply no offensive advantage either way.  AZ is at home and needs to more into the WC while Phillies are already there.(Lose 7-1.............Damn,  they just faded away late.)

MILWAUKEE BREWERS(Gasser) +105 over Chicago Cubs(Boyd)------------Gotta get some Revenge for what happened last night.   Robert Gasser has returned............a 10-6 record to his team when he's pitched.  Brewers are a premier team and certainly can hit Boyd.(Win 9-4...........Joey Ortiz 2-4 HR,  Christian Yelich an HR, Contreras 2-5)

COLORADO ROCKIES(Gordon) +110 over Baltimore Orioles(Povich)----One thing good about Gordon is he only walks 1 every 5 innings.  But his BA against is .307.  He hasn't won much,  but Rockies almost won for me yesterday.   Povich..........I don't know.  .275 walking 1 every 2.8 innings and he hasn't pitched a lot.  Orioles are 1 game out of the WC so they should have motivation,  however this game is in Colorado.   Rockies are hitting 16pts higher than Orioles and have scored 18 more Runs.  So,  their offense is demonstrably better.(Lose 2-1............Rockies out hit them 8-4.  Apparently,  Jake McCarthy's game winning HR was stolen with a fence catch by #17 Cowser in CF.)

SEATTLE MARINERS(Kirby) +135 over Boston Red Sox(Tolle)------Red Sox have streaked into the WC where they'll probably stay.  But they are now on a 1-4 streak.  Mariners on a 2-4 streak.   Yes,  Tolle has been much harder to hit than Kirby,  who is about 30 pts easier to hit this year than last year.   (3 of Kirby's last 5 starts have been good).  And Kirby only walks 1 every 4 innings.   Raleigh,  whose strange failure this year has been the demise of the team,  has raised his average from .156 to .171 over the last 10 days.(Lose 9-8..........Mariners have an 8-5 lead going into the 8th,  as Randy Arozarena had gone 4-5 w/ HR.  Trevor Story hit a pop-up to left field which ran into the Green Monster.   Would have been any easy Fly Out in every other MLB stadium.   This drove in 2 runs.   And then Roman Anthony's lead off single turned into a triple after Julio Rodriguez made some kind of a "dive move" as if he was gonna catch it in the 9th.   And of course,  he scored to tie the game because there were no Outs.)

PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Ashcraft) -117 over Stl Cardinals(Liberatore)----Pirates have hit 11pts higher than Stl and scored 54 more runs.  Yes,  Pirates have the Revenge vs Liberatore,  whom they rocked but still lost the game.    Ashcraft is .230 and walks 1 every 4.5 innings.  He does occasionally get rocked,  but overall his stats are very good.   Liberatore throws a .285 average and...........gives up a lot of runs.  Stl has won 2 more games and is 5 games out of the Wild Card.   Pirates on a 6-6 streak and have gone 11-14 in August.   In Ashcraft's last 23 innings he's only allowed 3 ER and walked 2.(Win 5-4.........)

COLORADO ROCKIES(Adams) +200 over Atlanta Braves(Mahle)-----Braves have won 29 more games than Rockies but it's not because their offense is statistically better.   Rockies have scored 10 more Runs and hit 5pts higher than Braves.   Rockies have gone 0-3 and 9-17 this month.   Mason Adams has only 4 MLB innings........but they were good.   The question is........how good is Mahle?   .258 and walking 1 every 2.8innings.   Since he was on the Giants,   his teams have gone 8-14 when he pitches.    He may just be an average pitcher going against a rookie who may be good.(Lose 3-2...........Ryan Feltner with a good 4 5  0 2 6 in relief but he still takes the L)

NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS +8.5 over Tcu Horned Frogs(Win 15-10)

NORTH CARONLINA TAR HEELS +275 over Tcu Horned Frongs---------NC does have the Revenge from last year.   #9 Edwards is at QB it says.  The ball will be hiked to him by Christo Kelly,  and his starting RB is Demon June.   Not "Damon" or "Desmond",  but Demon.   Can Edwards handler those kind of names?   I think so.    They also have two "Hall"s on offense.(Win 15-10............Thurman 94 yeds.  TCU goes for it on 4th down unsuccessfully a number of times)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Drake) -120 over San Francisco Giants(Tidwell)---AZ has scored 60 more Runs(Win 10-6)

KANSAS CITY ROYALS(Cameron) -110 over Toronto Blue Jays(Arrighetti)----Arrighetti throws a .216 average but walks more than 1 every 2 innings.  He has allowed 24 ER in his last 22 innings.    Cameron is a pitcher who is really getting better.  He has allowed only 5 ER in his last 42 innings.   Royals offense has scored 38 more Runs than Toronto and Royals are on an 8-1 streak.  Blue Jays on a 4-5 streak.(Win 13-1..............Jac Caglianone 5-6 HR,  Pasquantino 2-5 HR,   Jensen an HR)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Rodriguez) +100 over Chicago Cubs(Boyd)-----AZ has gone 20-7 for Rodriguez.   Cubs offense is better but Boyd has been looking shake-y of late.   Rodriguez at home at +100 is a good price for him.(Win 2-0..........Jordan Lawlar 2-3 HR;  Rodriguez 7 2 0 3 9)

OAKLAND A's(Ginn) +123 over Minnesota Twins(Prielipp)------A's on a little 3-1 streak.  They've gone 15-12 for Ginn,  who throws a .223 average.   Twins have scored only 33 more runs than A's.   Both teams hit .245.  Twins have gone 6-12 for Prielipp,  who has gotten brutally rocked his last 2 starts and....has gotten worse throughout the season.   A's have gone 4-10 for me;  they're not good.........but maybe today.(Win 7-4.............Tommy White 3-4,  Butler an HR)

BOSTON RED SOX(Gray) -1.5(+125)  over Miami Marlins(Gusto)----Boston has scored 22 more runs than Miami.   Gray is a little guy but he's pretty good,  and he's from Tennessee,  where Dolly Parton just died.   So this will be our Dolly Parton game.   Red Sox have gone 18-6 when Gray pitches.   So there's a high percentage chance this will be a Win for them.    Gusto is .262 BA against,  and he doesn't usually pitch many innings per game.(Lose 4-0.........No offense from Boston.  Not good for the forthcoming Clancy verdict)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Houser) -107 over Cincinnati Reds(Singer)----Houser has allowed 2 ER in his last 25 innings but Giants have only gone 8-17 for him.   Giants do have the Revenge vs Singer,  whose team has gone 9-16 when he starts.   Giants have only gone 5-10 for ME but they have hit 21pts higher than Reds.  Batters hit .258 off Houser and .275 off Singer.(Win 3-1............Dever HR,  Drew Cavanaugh 3-3,  Troy MI)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Pfaadt) -105 over Chicago Cubs(Holmes)----Cubs have won 7 more games and are on a 5-6 streak.   AZ has gone 11-11 in August.   Cubs have gone 6-6 when Holmes pitches,  who throws a .211 average and walks 1 every 3innings.   AZ has gone 14-9 for Pfaadt and he walks 1 every 4 innings.  Cubs have scored 93 more runs.   Holmes may be better than I think he is,  but with Arizona at home,  just 2 games out of the Wild Card,  I think they need this game more.(Win 5-4............Apparently Holmes is good,  as he goes 7 2 0 2 5 here.   But it was the pinch hit,  bottom of the 9th with 2 Outs GWHR by Ryan Waldschmidt that got the Win)

TEXAS RANGERS(Rocker) +115 over Chicago White Sox(Urquidy)-------Urquidy has had 7 games this year where he pitched.  Only his last start was good.   Rocker is .256  walking 1 every 2.5 innings.  Rangers have gone 10-14 with him.  CWS has won 3 more games while scoring 97 more runs.   These teams have gone 10-10 and 10-11 in August.  Texas has gone 3-4 for me this year.(Win 11-2.......wow, Urquidy is rocked.  Seager 3-4,  EZ Duran 2-4,  Langford 2-5 HR)

CINCINNATI REDS(Burns) -1.5(+112) over San Francisco Giants(Whisenhunt)-----In Whisenhunt's 7 starts he's emerged as a suck-up,  giving a .300 average and walking a heinous amount of hitters.   Reds have gone 18-6 for Burns.  Reds have scored 14 more runs.   Yes,  Reds have only won 2 games by more than 1 run this month but...........the pitching matchup is too extreme.(Lose 5-0...........Burns somehow gets rocked)

CHICAGO CUBS(Imanaga) -114 over Seattle Mariners(Miller)-----Mariners have gone 0-7 in Miller's last 8 starts.   He's been routinely getting rocked.  Cubs have hit 18pts higher and scored about 150 more runs.  Imanaga has walked fewer than 1 every 4 innings with a BA against of .230.(Win 19-2...............Wow.  19.  Ian Happ 2-4 HR, PCA 2-4 HR,  Pedro Ramirez 2-5 HR.........Civale comes in to go 4 1 0 0 2)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Bratt) -134 over Cincinnati Reds(Abbott)(Win 5-3)

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS(Bratt) -1.5(+155) over Cincinnati Reds(Abbott)-----Both pitchers walk too many but AZ hits 18 pts higher and has scored 59 more runs so I think they'll want the revenge for the game last night where they got blown out.   AZ has gone 10-10 in August and they're just on the edge of the Wild Card.(Win 5-3............Carroll 2-3,  Tawa 2-4)

COLORADO ROCKIES(Sugano) +143 over Cleveland Guardians(Griffin)------Griffin's teams have gone 19-7 for him,  which is very good.  But Col has hit 19pts higher and scored 95 more runs.   And Sugano does win a lot,  though he lost for me last time.  Rockies have a miserable 7-12 month of August here.   But at home at this price,   we'll try to target Griffin here.(Lose 7-2...........Sugano rocked)
