The Texas Rangers were routed yesterday by the Cincinnati Reds but that will not happen tonight. The Rangers will have Nathan Eovaldi on the hill and his curveball is the best in the majors. Texas bounces back tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TEXAS RANGERS

The St. Louis Cardinals are going to win today because Miles Mikolas is on the hill for the Birds
TODAY’S PICK: ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

The New York Yankees will be hosting the Milwaukee Brewers today in the Bronx and ex-Yankee Nasty Nestor Cortés is expected on the bump for the Brewers. Cortés is a southpaw and the Yankees feed on left-handed pitchers. They know his junk.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The Detroit Tigers are a big dog tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jack Flaherty is expected on the hill for the Tigers and he is a quality hurler. The Dodgers are expected to have Yoshinobu Yamamoto as their starter and he will have to face really good American hitters, which can be a problem. Welcome to the Bigs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT TIGERS

The Washington Nationals will host the Philadelphia Phillies today at Nationals Park. MacKenzie Gore will start for the Nats and he is no match for Zack Wheeler. Keep an eye on the Phillies this year because they are World Series bound.
TODAY’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Facing elimination last night in game 4 of the World Series, the New York Yankees stood their ground and lived to see another day by pummeling the Los Angeles Dodgers, 11-4. Tonight at the Stadium with momentum on their side, the Yankees will send their ace, Gerrit Cole, to the hill. Cole, who is 1-0 in the postseason with a 2.82 ERA, was pitching a gem in game 1 and for some unknown reason Aaron Boone made another bonehead decision, pulling his flamethrower after 6 innings and the Yankees went on to lose in extras, 6-3. The Dodgers are expected to send Jack Flaherty to the hill. Flaherty is 1-2 in the postseason with a 6.10 ERA. He was sharp in game 1 against the Yankees but left the game with a hamstring pull which could be an issue tonight. Yankees Stadium is going to be electric, the Bombers bats have awoken, and New York will have one of the best in the business on the hill, Gerrit Cole. Aaron Boone is one of the most inept managers the game has ever seen. If he just stays out of it and lets Gerrit Cole do his thing, the Yankees head to Los Angeles for game 6.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The New York Yankees find themselves down 0-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the big dance but return home tonight to the Bronx for game 3, game 4 and 5, if necessary. The Yankees should have come out of LA with a split but didn’t. Due to Aaron Boone’s inept managing skills, they are in a hole, but they are not done yet. This is a must win game for the Bombers and they know it and will hold nothing back. Walker Buehler is expected to get the nod for the Dodgers and if Aaron Judge is going to break out of his slump it will be tonight. Since having Tommy John surgery, Buehler is a shadow of his old self. In the regular season, Buehler was a dismal 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. New York is expected to hand the ball to Clarke Schmidt, who was steady in the regular season with a record of 5-5, an excellent ERA of 2.85, and a 1.18 WHIP. The Boys from River Ave. have been down 0-2 in the World Series before and won it. They came back in 1996 against the Atlanta Braves, in 1978 against the LA Dodgers, in 1958 against the Milwaukee Braves, and in 1956 against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
