I’m taking the Twins at home tonight against the Chicago White Sox. Chicago has a dismal road record of 12-23 and John Danks has been roughed up over his last 3 starts with an ERA of 6.35 and a WHIP of 1.59 over that span. Minnesota plays well at home with a 23-14 record and Tommy Milone has been sharp with an ERA of 2.37 and a WHIP of 1.00, over his last 3 starts.The Twins have the edge in hitting, power, speed and defense. Twins should turn it around tonight with a win.

Tonight’s pick:

Minnesota Twins

Let’s take the Dodgers at home over the Giants. Dodgers are 11-4 over their last 15 Sunday games and have a 26-13 record at home. I like Anderson, the lefty, with a 3.48 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over his last 3 games. Lincecum over his last 3 games has an ERA of 4.41 and a WHIP of 1.41. Dodgers have the edge with their bullpen, power, defense and bench. They’re going to win today.

Today’s pick:

Los Angeles Dodgers

Rolling with the Nats today. Scherzer’s on the bump. He’s 7-5 with an ERA of 1.95 and a WHIP of 0.88. Washington has an edge in starting pitching, hitting, power, defense and bench. Oh yeah, Harper’s back.

Today’s pick:

Washington Nationals

Great win with the Phillies as a home dog yesterday. Let’s keep it rolling today with the White Sox and Chris Sale. Over his last 3 starts, Sale has an ERA of 1.25 and a WHIP of 0.78. Colby Lewis for Texas has an ERA of 3.43 and a WHIP of 0.98 over his last 3 starts. Texas does not do well in Chicago. Over their last 11 games in Chicago, they are 3-8. Look for Sale and the Sox to end their 7 game skid tonight.

Today’s pick:

Chicago White Sox

Yanks and Jays came through yesterday and today I’m rolling with the Phils at home as a dog. Baltimore is 10 -17 on the road.

Today’s Pick:

Philadelphia

Good day yesterday with Astros and Giants winning. Today I like 3 games and we will start north of the border. The Mets are 3-11 in their last 14 road games and Toronto is 11-2 in their last 13. Toronto has the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, hitting, power, speed, defense and bench. They like hitting lefties and Niese is a lefty.

I also like the Yankees at home. Pineda is 6-2 in his last 8 home starts. Yankees have the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, power and bench.

Lastly, I like San Fran over Seattle with 2 aces on the hill. Over Bumgarner’s last 3 games, he has an ERA of 3.63 and a WHIP of 1.07. King Felix has an ERA of 12 over the last 3 and an ERA of 1.92. He got lit up last time around. San Fran is 7-2 in their last 9 road games, while Seattle is 1-9 in their last 10 games as a favorite. Seattle is also 1-8 in their last 9 home games.

Today’s picks:

Toronto Blue Jays
New York Yankees
San Francisco Giants

I hit the Royals and Astros yesterday, and I’m sticking with the Astros today. Altuve should be in the lineup. Astros are starting to heat up.

I’m also taking the Giants. San Fran has lost 8 straight home games, matching its longest losing streak since moving to the bay area in 1958. Look for Lincecum to stop the bleeding.

Today’s picks:

Houston Astros
San Francisco Giants
