Toronto is playing at home today. After losing 2 straight, they should pick up the win. Sanchez’s ERA is 4.17 against Walker, who is 1-4 within an ERA of 7.47. Reyes is still in rehab at minors in Buffalo and Joey Bats is out but they should still pull it off.
Today’s pick:
Toronto Blue Jays
Close one with the Yankees yesterday – they almost pulled it out.
For whatever reason, I like these teams on a lottery ticket. No stats needed today.
Today’s picks:
Atlanta Braves

Philadelphia Phillies
New York Mets
New York Yankees
Atlanta came through last night with a 10-1 trouncing of the Brewers. Brewers are now 3-13 in their last 16 games in Atlanta. Friday games don’t fare well for them either. They are 1-7 in their last 8. Atlanta is 24-11 in their last 35 Friday games. Wood is a quality pitcher for Atlanta with an ERA of 3.50 over his last 3 outings and Peralta has an ERA of 4.32 for his last 3 outings. Pitching stats are close but Atlanta is also getting hot so I’m running with them until they cool down.
By the way, William Hill pulled the Braves game off of the book which may be related to the 8-game suspension for Brewers’ left-handed pitcher Smith. Brewers are probably making some adjustments. Keep an eye on this one.
It turns out that Woods was pulled because of a stomach virus so Stults is replacing him with a 1-4 record and ERA of 5.36. I’m laying off on this one.
Also, I like the Yankees at home in the Bronx tonight. They have lost 3 straight and Pineda has been stellar this year. Yankees have the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, hitting, power, defense and bench. They should end their 3 game skid tonight.
Today’s pick:
New York Yankees
I won both games yesterday with the Royals and Tigers winning convincingly. Today I’m looking at Atlanta to win at home with Julio Theran on the bump. Theran’s ERA over his last three games is 3.78 and Matt Garza’s for the Brewers ERA over his last three games is 7.71. The Brewers are 3-12 in their last 15 games in Atlanta. Atlanta has the edge in starting pitching, hitting, speed, defense and bench. Brewers have the edge in power.
Today’s pick:
Atlanta Braves
Tonight I’m taking the Royals at home with Guthrie. In his last 3 starts, he has an ERA of 4.91 and WHIP of 1.42. Marquis for Cinci has an ERA of 8.40 and WHIP of 1.80 for his past 3 starts. Cincinnati is 1-8 in its last 9 interleague games. KC is 6-2 in its last 8 interleague games.
I also like the Tigers to snap their 3 game skid tonight at home against the Brewers.
Tonight’s picks:
Kansas City Royals
Detroit Tigers
Good day yesterday with Oakland and the Phillies coming through. Detroit should get the win today with Sanchez on the hill. The Tigers have the edge in starting pitching, hitting, power, speed and defense. I also like the White Sox. They are hot. Quintana has been sharp in his last 3 starts with an ERA of 1.89 and a WHIP of 1.00. On the flip side, Bauer has struggled in his last 3 starts with an ERA of 6.48 and a WHIP of 1.56.
Today’s picks:
Detroit Tigers
Chicago White Sox
I’m going with Phillies and A’s today.
Watch out for the Tigers. The systems leans towards Motown but the line has moved from -141 and it’s now -118. Something’s fishy.
Today’s picks:
Philadelphia Phillies
Oakland Athletics
