The New York Yankees will wrap up their 4-game set with the Seattle Mariners in a matinée today in the Bronx. Luis Gil is expected on the hill for the River Ave. Boys and he has been dealing. Over his last 3 turns, Gil is 3-0 with an ERA of only 1.00 and a 0.89 WHIP. On the Seattle side, they are expected to give the nod to Luis Castillo. Since the Mariners signed him to his big deal, Castillo has not been the same. The Yankees head off to San Diego with a split.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

Are the New York Yankees going to lose three straight against the Seattle Mariners on River Ave.? I say not. Bryce Miller is the Mariners’ expected starter. Over his last 3 turns, he is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. The Bombers feast tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The Toronto Blue jays are starting to click and it was just a matter of time. The Jays’ bats will be active again tonight when they host the Chicago White Sox in the second game of their 3-game set. Toronto’s Bo Bichette had 4 hits in last night’s 9-3 win and I expect more of the same tonight. The lowly Sox will have Garrett Crochet on the hill. Crochet is 4-4 with a 4.18 ERA and that is hittable.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS

The New York Yankees are the hottest team in baseball right now and will go for their eighth straight win when they host the Seattle Mariners tonight in the Bronx. Marcus Stroman is expected on the hill for the Bombers and he has been delivering. In Stroman’s last outing against a really good Minnesota Twins team, he yielded just 2 hits over 6 innings of work and New York went on to win, 4-0. The Yankees are hot, ride ’em ’til they’re not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The San Francisco Giants will go for their fourth straight win today against the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park, and they will get it. Jordan Hicks is on the hill for SF and this guy can deliver. He is 3-1 with a 2.44 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Enough said.
TODAY’S PICK: SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

The Chicago Cubs have lost the first two of their 4-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates but I expect they get back on the rails when they play an early one today at Wrigley. Chicago will have the best pitchers in the majors toeing the rubber, southpaw sensation Shōta Imanaga and he has been almost unhittable. Imanaga is 5-0 with an ERA of 0.96 and a 0.94 WHIP. Are you kidding me!!! The Pirates are expected to have Bailey Falter on the bump. He comes in at 2-2 with a 4.18 ERA, a good WHIP of 1.04, and a 0-3 in his career against Chicago with a 8.41 ERA. The Cubs just needs a few runs and they should get them against Falter. Imanaga will take care of the rest.
TODAY’S PICK: CHICAGO CUBS

The NL West leading Los Angeles Dodgers are on a rare 2-game losing streak but get back on track when they host the 18-25 Cincinnati Reds tonight in the second game of their 4-game set at Chávez Ravine. Lefty James Paxton is expected to get the start for the Dodgers and he has been delivering. The Big Maple is 5-0 with a 2.58 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. Frankie Montas is expected to get the nod for the Reds. Montas is 2-3 with a 4.20 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. The Dodgers, who average just under 9 hits per game, mustered just 4 hits in last night’s 7-2 loss to the Reds and Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Shohei Ohtani were hitless so they are due for a big night.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS
