I’m rolling with the Rays today. Archer is “lights out” at home. The Sox are 11-16 in day games and Tampa is 8-8. Sox are 12-19 on the road. Archer has an ERA of 1.84 and a WHIP of 0.95. Samardzija has an ERA of 4.93 and a WHIP of 1.36.
Today’s pick:
Tampa Bay Rays
Think about this – Padres as a dog.
Tonight’s pick:
San Diego Padres
I’m taking Yankees with Pineda because they win when he’s on the bump. I also like Pirates. No stats since I’m on vacation but I’ll be back in full swing soon.
Today’s picks:
New York Yankees
Pittsburgh Pirates
I’m on vacation today but am rolling with Mets and Nats, based on pitching match-ups.
Today’s picks:
New York Mets
Washington Nationals
No one likes a quitter so I’m rolling with the Astros again today. They should end their 6 game skid with the kid Valasquez, who has nasty stuff. Quintana for the White Sox is 0-2 over his last 3 starts with an ERA of 4.66. Houston has the edge in power, bullpen, speed, defense,and bench.
Also, I like the Cubs to light up Greene in Detroit. Greene has lost 3 straight, balooning his ERA to 11.57 over that span and allowing 17 runs in 11-2/3 innings.
Today’s picks:
Houston Astros
Chicago Cubs
Houston has lost 5 in a row but Keuchel is pitching tonight and he should be able to stop the bleeding. He is 7-1 for the season. Houston is 14-3 in their last 17 when Keuchel gets the start. The White Sox are 3-7 in their last 10 games as an underdog. The line opened at -116 and is now -141 for Houston so the money is going on Houston. The Astros have the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, power, speed, defense and bench.
Tonight’s pick:
Houston Astros
D-Backs travel to Dodgers’ stadium tonight, where they have not fared well. They are 1-10 in the last 11 meetings in Dodgers’ stadium and were swept earlier this year. Bolsinger takes the mound tonight with an ERA of 2.84 and a WHIP of 1.05 for his last 3 starts. De La Rosa has an ERA of 8.44 with a WHIP of 1.56 for his last 3 starts.
Today’s pick:
Los Angeles Dodgers
