Pitching change for Cleveland – Bauer is replacing Salazar so the pick today is the road dog Anaheim. The Angels are 5-2 in their last 7 against American League Central and 7-3 in their last 10 meetings with the tribe. Heaney, the lefty is on the hill for the halos and they are 8-3 in his last 11 starts. Cleveland does not fare well against lefties,k going just 5-16 in their last 21 against south paws. Angels get this game.
Today’s pick:
Anaheim Angels
Back in action today and I’m rolling with the red hot Pirates in south Florida. Pittsburgh has owned the Marlins, going 16-5 in their last 21 meetings and are 6-1 in their last 7 road games. Cole gets the start for the Bucs and they are 11-1 in his last 12 starts against American League East teams. Umping today behind home plate is Porter and road teams have fared well. They are 13-4 in his last 17 behind the dish. McCutchen and company should get this one.
Today’s pick:
Pittsburgh Pirates
No blog today or tomorrow – traveling. Will resume on Thursday.
Let’s roll with the Pirates again. Happ is on the hill for the Bucs in Miami. Over his last 3 games, his ERA is 2.87 with a WHIP of 1.47. Koehler is going for Miami and he hasn’t fared very well lately. He has an ERA of 6.23 with a WHIP of 1.67 over his last 3 games. In Koehler’s last 5 starts for the Marlins, they are 0-5. Pittsburgh likes Monday games. They are 6-2 in their last 8 Monday games. Throw in the edge for the Bucs with power, hitting, starting pitching and bench, and they should get this game.
Today’s pick:
Pittsburgh Pirates
Today’s pick is the Pirates over the Giants. Liriano is on the hill for the Pirates and over his last 7 home games, the Bucs are 7-0. San Fran doesn’t do well away from the bay area – they are 2-8 over their last 10 road games. Randazzos is behind home plate. Home teams are 7-0 in his last 7 Sunday games.
Today’s pick:

Baltimore gets the win today with Tillman on the bump. Over his last 3 games, he has a 3.50 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. Gibson is going for Minnesota and he’s been awful, with a 9.19 ERA and a WHIP of 3.50 in his last 3 starts. Carlson’s behind home plate and home teams are 5-1 in his last 6 games. Bang the birds.
Today’s pick:
Baltimore Orioles
Since Price joined the Blue Jays, he’s unbeaten and I see that continuing tonight in LA against the Halos. Over his last 3, Price has an ERA of 1.61 and a WHIP of 0.99. Blue Jays have the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, hitting, power, speed and bench. They are 7-1 over their last 8 following a day off.
Kansas City is in Boston. Cueto is on the hill and he’s been spectacular over his last 3 games, with a ERA of 1.12 and a WHIP of 0.79. On the flip side, Owens for Boston hasn’t fared as well. Over his last 3 games, he’s had a 6.19 ERA and a WHIP of 1.50. KC has the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, hitting, speed, defense and bench. Pick Royals.
