The San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Angels will play the rubber game of their 3-game set tonight at Petco Park. The Padres should have no problem getting to Angels expected starter, Kyle Hendrix. He is not what he was when he played for the Chicago Cubs. Hendrix comes in at 1-4 with an elevated ERA of 5.30 and a 1.26 WHIP. The Padres are averaging just shy of 5 runs per game and are 15-5 at home. The Friars get it done tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN DIEGO PADRES

The New York Mets took game 1 of a 3-game set with the Pittsburgh Pirates in Queens last night and tonight they will do the same. New York is 16-4 at Citi Field and will have Kodai Senga on the bump. Senga is 4-2 with an ERA of only 1.16 and a WHIP to match at 1.16. The Mets won’t come cheap but will not lose this game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK METS

The St. Louis Cardinals have won 8 games in a row but now they have to face the Philadelphia Phillies in Philly, and that’s a problem. The Phillies are 13-6 at home and will have Cristopher Sánchez on the hill. Sánchez is 4-1 with a 2.89 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. He will shut down the Cardinals bats.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

The New York Yankees fell to the Oakland Athletics in Sac last night, 11-7, but will bounce back today when they face ex-Yankee Luis Severino. The Bombers know him well and will light him up.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The New York Mets will be hosting the Chicago Cubs tonight in Queens. New York is 14-3 at home and it doesn’t get much better than that. Taylor Megill is expected on the hill for the Mets and he has been in the zone with a 2.50 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK METS

The Seattle Mariners and the Toronto Blue Jays will open a 3-game set tonight at T-Mobile Park. The Mariners are 12-6 at home and will have Luis Castillo on the bump. He is 3-2 with a 3.29 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. The Blue Jays are terrible on the road, at 6-12, and they have the most inept manager in the majors.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SEATTLE MARINERS

The Philadelphia Phillies will face the Tampa Bay Rays tonight at Steinbrenner Field. Jesús Luzardo is on the hill for Philadelphia. Luzardo is 3-0 with a 1.94 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. Ryan Pepiot will get the nod for Tampa. Pepiot is 2-4 with a 4.23 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. The Phillies are going for a sweep of the Rays tonight and they should do it.
