09-14-23 | Rangers v. Blue Jays -146 | Top | 9-2 | Loss | -146 | 13 h 23 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Texas Rangers. It wasn't their worst loss of the season -- back in June they lost to the Marlins, 11-0 -- but the Jays' 10-0 embarrassment on Wednesday here at home to the Rangers means that they are staring down the barrel of a four-game series sweep tonight. Not only have the Rangers won the first three games of this series but they've out-scored the Jays by a total of 26-7 in those. Fortunately, Toronto will send its ace, RH Kevin Gausman to the mound for his 29th start of the season. Gerrit Cole might have the advantage in the AL Cy Young race right now, but Gausman isn't that far behind with an 11-8 record, 3.28 ERA and league-leading 217 strikeouts in just over 167 innings for the Jays so far. In 10 career appearances vs. the Rangers -- nine starts -- Gausman is 5-2 with a 3.43 ERA with 56 strikeouts and 15 walks in just under 58 innings. And Gausman's ERA at home this season is almost a half-run better than it is on the road (3.07 vs. 3.52). Take the Jays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

09-13-23 | Rangers v. Blue Jays -112 | Top | 10-0 | Loss | -112 | 11 h 19 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Texas Rangers. With their hopes of winning the AL East all but vanished, the Blue Jays must now focus on nailing down one of the three Wild Card spots. But with their losses to the Rangers the last two nights, that opportunity could be slipping away as well in the ultra-competitive American League playoff race. They'll try to turn this series around tonight as the Rangers and Jays each send a lefty to the mound in this third of four games against each other this week. For Toronto, it will be Japanese veteran Yusei Kikuchi who will get his 29th start of the season. Kikuchi has been very solid if not spectacular in his second season with the Blue Jays. In just under 149 innings, the 32-year-old southpaw is 9-5 with a 3.57 ERA and those nine victories represent the most he's had in his five seasons in the Majors. No doubt he'd love to get to double-digit wins tonight and he has a good chance to do that as in five career games vs. Texas (four starts), Kikuchi is 3-0 with a 3.48 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. Take Toronto. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

09-12-23 | Rays v. Twins -127 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 8 m | Show |
At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Twins over the Tampa Bay Rays. Last night, the Twins lost, 7-4, as a home underdog to the Rays and Tyler Glasgow. Tonight, Minnesota will be favored behind RHP Joe Ryan. We'll back the home team, as the Twins are a solid 43-22 (+14.6 net games) at home when favored by -150 or less. Even better: Ryan has a 2.40 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in his last 3 outings, and is profitable as a favorite in his career starts (26-16), while unprofitable as an underdog. Finally, Tampa has burned money this season as a road underdog (8-14, minus 5.2 net games). Take the Twins to snap their 2-game losing streak. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-11-23 | Bills v. Jets +2.5 | Top | 16-22 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
At 8:15 pm, our selection is on the New York Jets + the points over the Buffalo Bills. The Jets are looking for big things this season behind newly-acquired QB Aaron Rodgers. And it all starts tonight, in a Week 1 game against division rival, Buffalo. We'll grab the points with New York, as Aaron Rodgers has gone 73-43-4 ATS at home in his career starts, including 6-1-1 ATS as an underdog, and 29-13 ATS in division games. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills are a wallet-busting 9-16-1 ATS as a division road favorite. Take New York. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie |
|||||||
09-10-23 | Dolphins v. Chargers -3 | Top | 36-34 | Loss | -109 | 154 h 27 m | Show |
At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Chargers minus the points over the Miami Dolphins. The Chargers are my Futures Pick this season at 25-1 odds to win the Super Bowl. I expect a major leap forward for Brandon Staley’s men and one of my primary reasons is the hire of Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator. When Moore was with the Cowboys the past 4 seasons, Dallas’s offense ranked among the Top 4 in the league over that 4-year stretch. The Chargers added rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnson, who was their first round draft pick, and he’ll team up with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams to give 4th year QB Justin Herbert a trio of quality receivers to throw downfield. And, of course, the Chargers have Austin Ekeler in the backfield, so the pieces are there to make a Super Bowl run. The Chargers are 15-2-1 ATS in season openers when not favored by 4+ points, including a perfect 10-0 ATS in non-division games. Take Los Angeles to blow out Miami. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-10-23 | Eagles v. Patriots +4 | Top | 25-20 | Loss | -110 | 154 h 26 m | Show |
At 4:25 pm, our selection is on the New England Patriots + the points over Philadelphia. The Patriots have been installed as a home underdog vs. the defending NFC Conference champs, and I’ll grab the points with Bill Belichick's men. New England is 31-16-1 ATS as a home underdog (or PK), including 23-7 ATS vs. non-division foes, while Philly is a poor 10-22 ATS as a road favorite of -3 (or more) points, including 3-12 ATS in non-division games. Even worse for the Eagles: the teams that lost the Super Bowl the previous year have gone 12-32-2 ATS as a non-division road favorite of -4 or less points vs. non-division foes. Finally, the Underdog is 8-3 ATS in this series. Take the Patriots + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-10-23 | Diamondbacks v. Cubs -137 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 60 m | Show |
At 2:20 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Cubs over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs have lost the first three games of this series, and will try to salvage one game with a victory this afternoon. Kyle Hendricks will toe the rubber for the home team today, and his teams have gone 55-27 with him on the mound when priced as a favorite of -150 or less, including 27-7 at home. The Cubs are 7-2 in day games with Hendricks, and 71-41 when priced from -125 to -175, while Arizona is an awful 56-93 (minus 10.1 net games) as an underdog priced from +125 to +175. Take the Cubbies. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-10-23 | Bengals v. Browns +2.5 | Top | 3-24 | Win | 100 | 5 h 39 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Browns + the points over the Cincinnati Bengals. Division home dogs in the month of September are 51-29 ATS their last 80. And the underdog |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Auburn v. California +6.5 | Top | 14-10 | Win | 103 | 108 h 47 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the California Golden Bears + the points over Auburn. We played on the Tigers last week as our NCAA Football Game of the Week, and were rewarded with a 59-14 massacre of UMass. But off that 45-point triumph, we'll switch gears, and fade the Tigers in Berkeley on Saturday night. Like Auburn, California's offense was in high gear last weekend, as they annihilated North Texas, 58-21, as a 5-point road favorite. California piled up 669 yards of offense, and allowed the Mean Green just 225. Auburn is 0-6 ATS its last six non-conference road games, and has covered just 28% as a non-conference road favorite over the last 40 seasons. Take California + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Stanford v. USC UNDER 69 | Top | 10-56 | Win | 100 | 108 h 49 m | Show |
At 10:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the USC/Stanford game. Caleb Williams & Co. exploded for 66 points in last week's thrashing of Nevada. And that game went way over the total of 63.5. Dating back to last season, the Trojans have now gone over the total in 10 straight games, including their previous three which totaled 80, 84 and 91 points. And the last three meetings between these two Pac-12 rivals have also gone over the total. So, the knee-jerk reaction might be to look for another high-scoring game here, on Saturday night. But I'm going to run the other way, and play on the UNDER, as the oddsmakers have set this number too high. Additionally, the UNDER falls into totals systems of mine with records of 81-29, 44-11 and 55-20. And, finally, the Trojans are 12-5 UNDER when the O/U line is greater than 67 points. Take the UNDER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Temple +9.5 v. Rutgers | Top | 7-36 | Loss | -110 | 104 h 28 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Temple Owls + the points over Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights won their season-opener, 24-7, at home vs. Northwestern. But Rutgers is a poor 3-12 ATS off a point spread win, including 1-8 ATS at home. Temple also will be looking to avenge a home loss to the Scarlet Knights last season. And the Owls are a sensational 75-34-5 ATS when playing with revenge, and priced as an underdog of less than 23 points. Take Temple. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | A's v. Rangers -226 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers over the Oakland A's. This past Tuesday, Nathan Eovaldi made his return from the injured list, and it didn't go well, to say the least. Eovaldi didn't make it out of the 2nd inning, with 4 runs allowed in 1 1/3, and the Rangers went on to lose, 14-1, to rival Houston. Eovaldi will look to bounce back this evening against the Oakland A's, who took Game 1 of this series on Friday. That was the floundering Rangers' 4th straight loss, overall, so there's now an air of despration in Arlington. The good news is that Eovaldi shut out this A's team earlier this year (8 2/3 innings, 0 runs, 3 hits, 1 walk, 12 strikeouts). His career ERA is 2.97 vs Oakland. The A's are 0-7 off an upset division win if they were a +130 (or greater) underdog in that victory. Take Texas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Oregon v. Texas Tech +7 | Top | 38-30 | Loss | -115 | 104 h 59 m | Show |
At 7:00 pm, our selection is on the Texas Tech Red Raiders + the points over Oregon. The Ducks put up 81 points last week in an 81-7 pummeling of Portland State. We'll go against Oregon on the road in Lubbock, as NCAA road teams have covered just 36% in Week 2 since 1990 after scoring more than 65 points in their season opener. Even better: Texas Tech is 15-0 ATS as a home underdog priced from +4 to +18 points off a SU/ATS loss. Take the Red Raiders + the points. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | SMU v. Oklahoma -16 | Top | 11-28 | Win | 100 | 103 h 59 m | Show |
At 6 pm, our selection is on the Oklahoma Sooners minus the points over SMU. The Mustangs blew out Louisiana Tech, 38-14, last Saturday, in their season opener. Unfortunately, SMU is a wallet breaking 0-9 ATS its last nine (and 13-25 ATS its last 38) road games off a win by 15+ points, and 6-22 ATS on the road after scoring 38+ points. Take Oklahoma minus the points. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Texas A&M v. Miami-FL +5 | Top | 33-48 | Win | 100 | 101 h 10 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Miami-Fla Hurricanes + the points over Texas A&M. The Aggies walloped New Mexico, 52-10, as a 38-point home favorite last Saturday. But the Aggies have a massive step-up in class this weekend, as they will have to go into Hard Rock Stadium to take on a Hurricanes squad riding high after its season-opening 38-3 win over Miami-Ohio. The Hurricanes have cashed 68% since 1980 as home underdogs vs. non-conference foes, while Texas A&M is 0-15 ATS away from home in the regular season vs. .600 (or better) foes, if the Aggies weren't getting more than 14 points. Take Miami-Fla + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Nebraska +3.5 v. Colorado | Top | 14-36 | Loss | -115 | 97 h 17 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, our selection is on the Nebraska Cornhuskers + the points over Colorado. The Buffaloes pulled off a massive upset last week, when they went into Fort Worth, and knocked off the Horned Frogs, 45-42, as a 21-point underdog. But off that stunning win, I'll look for a letdown on Saturday, as home favorites off an upset win as a double-digit underdog to kick off the season have covered just 35 percent over the last 43 years. Grab the points with Nebraska. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-23 | Notre Dame v. NC State +7.5 | Top | 45-24 | Loss | -108 | 97 h 14 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, on Saturday, our selection is on the North Carolina State Wolfpack + the points over Notre Dame. NC State kicked off its season with a win at Connecticut, 24-14, last week, and will welcome the 2-0 Fighting Irish into Carter-Finley Stadium for their home opener. The Irish come into Raleigh off back to back stifling defensive performances. Notre Dame blew out Navy, 42-3, in Dublin, and then trounced Tennessee State, 56-3, in South Bend. But off those two games, we'll fade the Irish as a road favorite on Saturday. Indeed, since 1980, road favorites have covered just 25% vs. winning teams in Game 3, if our road favorite didn't give up more than 7 points combined in their first two games. NC State has won its last 13 home openers, straight-up, and I look for an upset win in this early game on Saturday. Grab the points with NC State. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-08-23 | Royals v. Blue Jays -185 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 19 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Kansas City Royals. The Blue Jays are barely in the Playoffs, going into Friday's games, as they're a half-game ahead of the Texas Rangers. So, with just 22 games to go, Toronto knows it can't afford to lose games to division cellar-dwellers like Kansas City. The Blue Jays are, of course a heavy favorite. But given that the Royals are 21-67 (minus 25.0 net games) as an underdog priced from +175 to +250, I have no problem laying the big price. Even better: Yusei Kikuchi will get the start for the Blue Jays tonight, and he's given up just 5.14 hits and 1.55 walks per start. For the season, he has a 3.63 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP, and the Blue Jays have won 17 of his 27 starts. Kansas City is a horrible 8-34 on the road vs. starters who give up 5.5 (or less) hits per start, and are also 35-88 (minus 34.6 net games) on the road vs. pitchers who give up less than 1.75 walks per start. Take Toronto. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-07-23 | Cardinals v. Braves UNDER 10.5 | Top | 5-8 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 40 m | Show |
At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Atlanta Braves/St Louis Cardinals game. The Cardinals exploded for 11 runs against Spencer Strider and the Braves last night, and handed Atlanta its second straight blowout loss, as the Cards also won, 10-6, on Tuesday. Unfortunately for St Louis, it will be facing southpaw Max Fried this evening. And all Fried has done in his career vs. the Redbirds is go 4-0 with a 0.35 ERA and 0.85 WHIP, as he's given up just 1 run in 25 2/3 innings. Adam Wainwright will get the start for St Louis, and has been stellar in his career vs the Braves, with a 3.36 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. Admittedly, the 42-year-old hurler is on the decline, but he had the best start of his season in his last outing when he allowed 1 run over 6 innings vs. the Padres. The Cards are 58-45 UNDER vs. lefties. And the Braves have gone UNDER 69% after allowing 10 runs in back to back games. Take the Under. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-06-23 | Mariners -160 v. Reds | Top | 8-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 42 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Cincinnati Reds. The Mariners dropped their 3rd straight game yesterday, as they fell, 7-6, to the Reds. This evening, they'll turn to Logan Gilbert to stop the slide, and he's in great form. He has a 1.83 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over his last three outings. And his strikeout to walk ration was 19:2 in those three games. Gilbert has won his last seven decisions, and the Mariners are 9-2 in his last 11 starts. That bodes well for the Mariners. As does the fact that Gilbert's mound opponent will be rookie RHP Lyon Richardson. In his debut, on August 6 vs. the Nationals, Richardson did something no other MLB player had done in the last 50 years. And that was to give up two home runs on his first two career pitches! Richardson's ERA is 6.75, and his WHIP is 1.75, so I expect Seattle's bats to generate runs today. The Mariners are 11-2 their last 13 behind Gilbert when they've plated more than 3 runs. And they're 31-14 on the road (+19.6 net games) with Gilbert on the hill. Take Seattle. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-05-23 | Brewers -170 v. Pirates | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
At 6:35 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over Pittsburgh. The Buccos came back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Milwaukee, 4-2, on Monday. That was the Brewers' 2nd straight loss, and we'll take the Brew Crew to bounce back this evening. Brandon Woodruff will get the ball for Craig Counsell's men and, dating back to last year, he's 7-1 his last eight decisions (covering 12 starts), and the Brewers are 10-2 in those 12 games. Milwaukee is 35-25 off a loss, including 8-1 off an upset loss to a division foe. Take the Brewers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-04-23 | Brewers -180 v. Pirates | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -180 | 13 h 56 m | Show |
At 6:35 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Pittsburgh Pirates. It may be hard to believe that Corbin Burnes hasn't won a game since July 20. But that doesn't mean that the 2021 NL Cy Young winner hasn't been effective. In the month of August, Burnes had a 3.98 ERA and the Brewers won three of his five starts. He would be the first to admit however that the previous month was much better for him as Burnes went 4-1 with a 1.85 ERA during July. But regardless of that, Burnes has an excellent chance to get September going with a bang as his first start of the month will be against the 63-74 Pirates. In 22 regular season games against Pittsburgh (10 starts) covering 75 2/3 innings, Burnes is 7-1 with a 3.33 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. And those seven wins represent the most that Burnes has had against any team in the Majors. Perhaps more important is the fact that in 11 career games at PNC Park -- 5 starts -- Burnes is 4-1 with a 3.38 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. The Brewers are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings with the Pirates going back to last August. Take Milwaukee. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |
|||||||
09-03-23 | Orioles v. Diamondbacks -138 | Top | 8-5 | Loss | -138 | 4 h 28 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Baltimore Orioles. With their win here last night, the Orioles extended their streak of not having been swept in a series since May of 2022 -- a string of 83 consecutive series. It's far from an all-time MLB record, but still very impressive for a team that not that long ago was considered pretty much a doormat of the AL East. Winning this series however will be difficult as the O's hitters have to face one of the NL's best in RHP Zac Gallen. NL Rookie of the Year favorite Corbin Carroll might be getting most of the headlines for Arizona, but it's been the 27-year-old Gallen who's been the anchor of this club all season. In 28 starts covering just over 173 innings, Gallen is 14-6 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 182 strikeouts. But here's the most impressive stat: In his 13 starts covering just over 85 innings here at Chase Field this season, Gallen is an incredible 11-1 with a 1.79 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. This will be his first career appearance against the Orioles. Take the Diamondbacks. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

09-03-23 | Twins v. Rangers -133 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
At 2:35 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers over Minnesota. Last night, the Twins won in extra innings vs. Texas, and will look to complete a 3-game sweep this afternoon. Minnesota will send Kenta Maeda to the mound today, and he's not been pitching well, as he has given up 12 earned runs in his last three starts, covering 13 innings (8.31 ERA, 1.69 WHIP). For the season, Maeda's ERA is a subpar 4.69, while his mound opponent today (Jon Gray) has a 3.60 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. The Twins are a wallet-busting 29-56 (minus 22.2 net games) as an underdog of +150 (or less), including 21-40 on the road. And Minny is also 1-8 behind Maeda this season in his daytime starts. And Maeda's teams are a dreadful 21-32 (minus 23.9 net games) in his career in the afternoon. Take the Rangers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-03-23 | Phillies -110 v. Brewers | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Milwaukee Brewers. When the Phillies' Ranger Suarez went 8-5 with a 1.36 ERA as a swing-man (part-time starter/part-time reliever) two seasons ago, it appeared that the 25-year-old might be the future of southpaw starting pitching for the team. But a regression last season and again in 2023 cast some doubt on Suarez, and his continued health issues haven't helped his situation. But last season Suarez came on strong in the month of August and he did the same thing last month with a 2.45 ERA in three starts covering 18 1/3 innings. If his injury woes are behind him, Suarez could finish the season strong for the Phillies. He'll get his 18th start of the season this afternoon against the Brewers. And Suarez has a 2.31 career ERA in two starts vs. Milwaukee. The Phillies are also 2-0 in those games, including a seven inning Suarez outing last June right here at American Family Field, in which he allowed two runs on six hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Take the Phillies. As always good luck...Al McMordie.

09-02-23 | Twins v. Rangers -188 | Top | 9-7 | Loss | -188 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
At 7:15 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers over the Minnesota Twins. If the Rangers end up not making the post-season -- right now they have just a two-game buffer on the final Wild Card spot -- it will be considered one of the biggest collapses we've seen in a while. As recently as August 8, Texas had the second-best record in the AL with a three-game lead over the Astros and a full 6 1/2 games over the now first-place Mariners. The good news is that with September having just started, the Rangers have a full month to right the ship. They'll try to break their latest losing streak of two games tonight in the second game of this series against the Twins. Jordan Montgomery will get his sixth start since being traded to Texas from St. Louis and the veteran southpaw will have a chance to avenge his last start -- a sub-par effort against this Minnesota club last Sunday. Since coming to Arlington, Montgomery is 2-1 with an excellent 2.30 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with 30 strikeouts and only five walks in 31 1/3 innings. Take the Rangers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

09-02-23 | UMass v. Auburn -35 | Top | 14-59 | Win | 100 | 25 h 6 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Auburn Tigers minus the points over the Massachusetts Minutemen. Last week, we had our College Football Game of the Month on UMass +7 over New Mexico State, and were rewarded with a 41-30 upset win by Don Brown's troops. UMass has now matched its win total for each of the last three full seasons, as it went 1-11 in each of 2019, 2021 and 2022 (it went 0-4 in the COVID-shortened 2020 season). But even though victorious, the Minutemen were out-yarded by the Aggies, 458-389. The difference in the game, of course, was turnovers. UMass held onto the ball, while New Mexico State coughed it up 3 times. It would be folly to expect that kind of turnover luck to continue here, at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Moreover, since 2019, the Minutemen have been miserable against the spread, including 0-15 SU and 3-12 ATS when priced from +23 to +38 points. Meanwhile, Auburn has gone 26-19 ATS in that point spread range. Off that big upset win, we'll fade UMass, as it falls into a 'letdown' system of mine which has cashed 69.6% since 1988. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

09-01-23 | Red Sox -172 v. Royals | Top | 2-13 | Loss | -172 | 17 h 11 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over the Kansas City Royals. The Red Sox are not necessarily happy to get out of Boston, but they are probably thrilled that they don't have to see the Astros in the visiting dugout anymore this week. Houston came into Fenway and proceeded to dismantle the Sox, taking three games by a combined score of 26-11. But Boston gets a major reward as it travels to Kansas City after an off-day to play the 41-94 Royals -- one of only two teams (Oakland, the other) to have already been eliminated from the post-season. The Sox will open with southpaw James Paxton tonight. The 34-year-old missed all of 2022 recovering from Tommy John surgery and has really come back strong this season. In 18 starts, Paxton is 7-4 with a 3.99 ERA with 101 strikeouts in just under 95 innings. Paxton should be looking forward to his second start of the season against KC. On August 10 he threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings vs. the Royals in a 2-0 Red Sox victory for his seventh -- and most recent -- win of the season. Take Boston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 2 best teams in baseball will kick off a big 4-game series tonight at Chavez Ravine. Spencer Strider will get the start for Atlanta while Lance Lynn will make his 6th start for Los Angeles after being acquired last month from the White Sox. Strider is having a brilliant season for the Braves. He leads all of MLB with 236 strikeouts, and ranks 3rd among starters in batting average against (.204), and 6th in WHIP (1.06). Overall, Strider's W/L record is 15-4, and the Braves have won 21 of his 26 starts. Understandably, Strider's favored on the road tonight. But it's also the least amount he's been favored by all season. Strider's in the best form of his career, as he has a 0.43 ERA and 0.61 WHIP over his last three starts. Atlanta is 168-79 (+34.7 net games) as a favorite, and also 102-51 (+24 net games) their last 153 as a road favorite. Take the Braves. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-30-23 | A's v. Mariners -267 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 14 h 47 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Oakland Athletics. On Monday, the Oakland A's became the first team to be officially eliminated from the MLB post-season when they lost to this Mariners team, 7-0. So what did they do to celebrate their demise on Tuesday? Just a win against that same Seattle club which just happens to be the hottest team in baseball recently. Obviously the M's were hoping for a series sweep against the worst team in the League, but now they are just hoping to win the series with a victory this afternoon so they can keep pace with the Rangers and Astros in what has become the tightest race in the Majors. They'll look to bounce back from last night's 3-1 loss, in which they got only 4 hits. Seattle has won 12 of its last 14, and is 8-1 vs. Oakland this season. Even better, it's a solid 39-26 (+14.7 net games) after getting less than 5 hits, 48-31 (+21.7 net games) after scoring less than 3 runs, and 97-74 (+22.4 net games) in daytime affairs. In contrast, Oakland is an anemic 9-44 (minus 28.6 net games) in the afternoon. Regardless of whether the Mariners hand the ball this afternoon to Bryce Miller or George Kirby (who was under the weather yesterday), we'll take Seattle in an action play. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-29-23 | Brewers v. Cubs -125 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Cubs over the Milwaukee Brewers. If you were to look up the phrase "breakout" in the dictionary, you just might see Justin Steele's picture. The 28-year-old Cubs LH starter had two previous seasons to show what he could do at the Major League level and he responded with numbers that were nothing more than average in both 2021 and 2022. Last season, Steele became a full time starter and although he got 24 turns out of the rotation, all he could put up by the end of the season was a 4-4 record with a 3.18 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. In short, there was nothing there that would indicate he might be one of the best starters in the game in 2023. But after 24 starts this season, that's exactly what the Cubs have on their hands as Steele is 14-3 with a 2.80 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and much-improved 4.43 K:BB ratio. One more start will be a career high for Steele, who hopes to still be starting games come playoff time in October. But tonight he'll be called upon to shut down the red hot Brewers who have won nine straight coming in. Chicago's won 11 of his last 12 starts. Take the Cubs. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-29-23 | Astros v. Red Sox UNDER 10.5 | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 18 h 8 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox 'under' the total. It seems to be all-or-nothing for the Astros right now. In their last three games, the 'Stros have scored 13, 17, and nine runs and not surprisingly they won all three of those games rather easily. But in the three games before that, Houston only managed to score a total of seven runs while losing all three of those contests. We're banking on a return to that type of offensive output tonight as the 'Stros send out RHP J.P. France while the Sox counter with RHP Brayan Bello at Fenway Park. For Bello's part, the 24-year-old has allowed just a single run in three of his last four starts lowering his season ERA to 3.56 in 22 starts covering 126 1/3 innings. France blew up in his last start, but before that, the 28-year-old had been very efficient, posting a 5-1 record with a 1.69 ERA in his six games -- five starts -- between July 20 and August 18. The under is 9-5 in Bello's last 14 starts going back to June 5. Take the 'under'. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-28-23 | Rangers -144 v. Mets | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 35 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers over the New York Mets. On Sunday, the Mets downed the Anaheim Angels, 3-2, while Texas fell in 13 innings, 7-6, to the Minnesota Twins. Today, New York is a home underdog against the 73-57 Rangers, and we'll go against the Mets, as they're a dreadful 48-99 (minus 39.4 net games) as an underdog, including 11-36 (minus 22.6 net games) this season, and 1-8 as a dog with Tylor Megill on the mound. Interleague play also hasn't been kind to New York, as it's 33-44 (minus 23.6 net games) vs. the American League. Veteran RHP Jon Gray will toe the rubber for Texas, and his teams have gone 18-12 (+7.1 net games) in interleague play. Gray also has a solid 2.50 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Take Texas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-28-23 | Nationals v. Blue Jays -238 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 18 h 31 m | Show |
At 7:07 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Washington Nationals. With their chances of catching the first place O's fading quickly, the Blue Jays -- 11 games over .500 -- have to start focusing on the Astros and Rangers. Those two teams currently hold down the final two AL Wild Card spots and Toronto needs to take advantage of series against weak opponents like the two coming up this week against the Nationals and Rockies. Veteran RHP Kevin Gausman will start tonight for Toronto in the first game of this series against Washington at home. The Nats are a team which Gausman is familiar with from his time in the NL, particularly with the Braves. He's lost his last two starts but those were against his nemesis Baltimore, and before that, Philadelphia. Tonight, he'll face off against a Nationals' lineup, which is a significant downgrade from those two clubs. In 25 starts covering just over 150 innings, Gausman is 9-8 with a 3.23 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and he leads all MLB players with 195 strikeouts. Barring something unusual, Gausman will log over 200 K's for the third straight season. Take the Jays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-27-23 | Texans +3.5 v. Saints | Top | 17-13 | Win | 100 | 66 h 35 m | Show |
At 8 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Houston Texans + the points over the New Orleans Saints. We played against Houston last Saturday and easily cashed Miami, which blew out the Texans, 28-3. Meanwhile, the Saints went into Los Angeles, and downed the Chargers, 22-17, as a 3-point road favorite. New Orleans is a horrible 17-32-1 ATS as a home favorite in the preseason when laying more than 2 points, while Houston is 14-3 ATS as a road underdog in the preseason when getting more than 2 points. That bodes well for the Texans here. As does the fact that teams off blowout losses by more than 20 points have covered 60.4% in the preseason when playing away from home. Grab the points with Houston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | UMass +7.5 v. New Mexico State | Top | 41-30 | Win | 100 | 101 h 34 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Massachusetts Minutemen + the points over New Mexico State. After coaching UMass from 2004 to 2008 (the best 5-year period in UMass' football history), Don Brown returned to Amherst last season to man the sidelines again. Last season, UMass struggled to a 1-11 record, which was the 3rd straight full season it went 1-11. This year, UMass will look to improve on that record, and it will open the 2023 season against a team which it lost to each of the past two years. The Aggies won, 44-27, in 2021, as a 7 point home favorite. And then, last season, they went into Amherst, and down the Minutemen, 23-13, in a PK'em game. We'll play on the double-revenge-minded Minutemen, as the Aggies are a poor 3-17 ATS at home when playing an opponent it defeated the previous season, including 0-7 ATS as a home favorite of less than 8 points. And they're 4-11 ATS vs. teams they defeated each of the two previous seasons, including 1-7 ATS at home. Grab the points with UMass. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Browns -3.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 32-33 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
At 1 pm, our selection is on the Cleveland Browns over the Kansas City Chiefs. Last week, the Browns tied the Philadelphia Eagles, 18-18, while KC blew out Arizona, 38-10. But off that 28-point blowout win, we'll fade Andy Reid's men this afternoon. The Chiefs have been installed as a home underdog. Unfortunately, since 1983, home dogs of more than 3 points have covered just 27 percent in the preseason off a win by more than 8 points. That bodes well for the Browns. As does the fact that the Chiefs are a wallet-crushing 20-49-1 ATS in the preseason when not favored by 2 (or more) points, including 4-24 ATS vs. foes off a win/tie in their previous game. Lay the points with Cleveland. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Chargers v. 49ers UNDER 38 | Top | 23-12 | Win | 100 | 42 h 41 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Los Angeles Chargers/San Francisco 49ers game. The 49ers have played 14 of 24 home preseason games UNDER the total. And they've also gone UNDER 6-2 in Week 3 of the preseason, while the Chargers have gone UNDER 7-2-1 in Week 3. These two teams have matched up twice in the past two years (one regular season, one preseason), and each game went under the total (by an average of 8.25 ppg). I look for another low-scoring game between these clubs, as the UNDER falls into 66.6% and 72.7% preseason totals systems of mine. |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Blue Jays +100 v. Orioles | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 57 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Baltimore Orioles. The Jays will hand the ball to veteran Jose Berrios this season. This will be his 14th career start vs. Baltimore, and all he's done is go 10-0 with a 2.66 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. And his teams have gone 12-0 in his 12 starts vs. Baltimore since 2017, including a 3-1 win here at Camden Yards in June. Berrios was brilliant in that victory, as he held the Birds' offense to 0 runs over 7 2/3 innings. Toronto is a solid 43-30 (+11.8 net games) on the road vs. winning teams. Take Toronto. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Red Sox v. Astros -123 | Top | 17-1 | Loss | -123 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Boston Red Sox. J.P. France may not have the star power or name recognition of some other AL Freshmen like Gunnar Henderson or Josh Jung, but he should definitely be in the conversation when it comes to handing out the hardware for Rookie of the Year. Heading into the season, it was thought that another Houston rookie starter, Hunter Brown, would be the one getting all the attention at this point, but instead it's been the RH France who, at the ripe age of 28, has been turning heads on this team in his first MLB season. In 18 games -- 17 starts -- covering 108 innings, France has logged a 9-4 record with a 2.75 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. He'll get a chance to improve on those numbers and reach double-digit wins this afternoon with his first career start vs. the Red Sox. Even more impressive than his overall numbers is the fact that in his last nine games -- eight starts -- going back to June 29, France is 7-1 with a 1.98 ERA and the Astros are 8-1 in those games. Finally, the 'Stros are 76-38 off a loss. Take Houston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-23-23 | Blue Jays -120 v. Orioles | Top | 0-7 | Loss | -120 | 18 h 43 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Baltimore Orioles. We played on the Blue Jays as an underdog last night, and were rewarded with a 6-3 victory. Tonight, the Jays are a road favorite, and we'll come right back with them. Kevin Gausman will toe the rubber for Toronto, and his teams have gone 16-4 on the road vs. division rivals, and 17-6 on the road vs. winning foes with him on the mound. Gausman will match-up against Dean Kremer for the Orioles. Toronto is a solid 127-102 (+11.35 net games) on the road, and 33-23 (+9.15 net games) when its odds are priced between +125 and -125. Take the Blue Jays. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-22-23 | Blue Jays +105 v. Orioles | Top | 6-3 | Win | 105 | 18 h 15 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Baltimore Orioles. The Blue Jays will seek to gain ground on the division-leading Orioles, and also make up ground in the Wild Card race in this 3-game series. Toronto has been installed as an underdog, and it's excelled as a dog this season, going 20-14 (+8.8 net games), including 6-3 when starter Yusei Kikuchi is on the mound. And in Kikuchi's career, when he's been installed as a road underdog, he's been a profitable 22-25 (+6.5 net games). Grayson Rodriguez will get the ball for Baltimore tonight, and he faced off against Kikuchi 20 days ago. The Orioles' rookie surrendered 3 runs over 5 2/3 innings in that game, and was outdueled by Kikuchi (6 IP, 1 ER) in a 4-1 Blue Jays win. I expect more of the same tonight. Take Toronto. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-21-23 | Rangers -148 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -148 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Texas Rangers over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Rangers were swept at home by the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, and look to bounce back against a red-hot Diamondbacks team, which has won seven of nine. Newly-acquired Jordan Montgomery threw his 4th straight quality start last week vs. the Angels, in a 7-3 Rangers victory. And he's given up just 23 earned runs in his last 14 starts (11 with St. Louis), for a 2.47 ERA. Tonight, he's been installed as a road favorite vs. the D-Backs. The Diamondbacks are a soft 20-49 (minus 19.7 net games) as a home dog priced from +125 to +175, and 6-19 their last 25 vs. winning teams. Meanwhile, Texas is 15-7 this season off back-to-back losses, and 18-11 after scoring less than 3 runs. Take Texas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie |
|||||||
08-20-23 | Mariners v. Astros -168 | Top | 7-6 | Loss | -168 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Seattle Mariners. On Saturday, the Mariners went off and plated double-digit runs in a 10-3 rout of the Astros in Houston thanks to the hottest hitter in the game right now. M's OF Julio Rodriguez broke an MLB record that stood for almost 100 years when he got his 17th hit in his last four games. If the 'Stros can just find a way to slow down the 22-year-old Seattle superstar, they should be able to win this series finale against the Mariners. That chore will fall on the broad shoulders of young Houston RH Hunter Brown. The 24-year-old won his last appearance, but it wasn't as a starter. On August 15, Brown pitched two scoreless innings to secure the victory over the Marlins in South Florida in what was his only appearance thus far out of the bullpen. He'll come back this afternoon to get his 23rd start of the season -- his 10th at home. In seven daytime starts this season, Brown has a 3.32 ERA (vs. 4.57 in 16 games -- 15 starts -- under the lights). Houston's also 75-37 (+27.1 net games) off a loss. Take the Astros. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-19-23 | Cowboys +7 v. Seahawks | Top | 14-22 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 4 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Dallas Cowboys + the points over Seattle. The Cowboys have been installed as a big underdog vs. Seattle. I've never been a fan of laying this many points in a preseason game, as favorites of more than 6 points have covered just 42% since 1983, including 35% off a double-digit win. With Seattle, indeed, off a 24-13 win vs. Minnesota, we'll fade the Seahawks, and take the points with Dallas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Patriots +3 v. Packers | Top | 21-17 | Win | 100 | 16 h 3 m | Show |
At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the New England Patriots + the points over Green Bay. The Jordan Love era got off on the right foot last week, as the Packers destroyed Cincinnati, 36-19. Meanwhile, New England stumbled in its opener, and fell to Houston, 20-9. But we'll take the Patriots to bounce back, as teams off a loss have covered 58% vs. foes that scored 35+ points the previous week. Take New England. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Bucs +3.5 v. Jets | Top | 13-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 33 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers + the points over the New York Jets. We played on the Jets last week vs. Carolina, and were rewarded with a 27-0 upset win. Unfortunately for New York, teams that are favored (or Pk'em) off shutout wins have covered just 38% in the preseason. Take Tampa Bay + the points. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Giants +110 v. Braves | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Atlanta Braves. You'd be hard-pressed to name a more underrated starter in the Majors this season than the Giants' Logan Webb. At first glance, the 26-year-old RH's 9-9 record does not seem all that impressive. But dig a little deeper and you'll see a 3.26 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a league leading workload of 163 innings combined with another league-best 6.04 strikeouts-to-walks ratio. Webb has been a model of consistency for a Giants team that hasn't always been consistent this season. He'll get his 26th start of the season tonight against the best team in the Majors but that shouldn't bother Webb at all. In four career starts vs. the Braves covering 27 innings, Webb is 2-0 with a 1.33 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with 29 strikeouts and three walks. Three of those starts were here at Truist Park where Webb has a 0.90 ERA and 0.80 WHIP in 20 innings. Despite his .500 record on the season, the Giants are 9-4 in Webb's last 13 trips to the mound going back to June 7. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

08-19-23 | Mariners v. Astros -149 | Top | 10-3 | Loss | -149 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over Seattle. The Astros fell here, at home, last night to Seattle. But Houston is a solid 75-36 (+28.6 net games) off a loss. And Framber Valdez is 3-0 in his career vs. the Mariners with a 2.48 ERA. Take Houston. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Blue Jays -143 v. Reds | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Cincinnati Reds. The Blue Jays were shut out, 1-0, last night, so I look for them to bounce back today. Toronto is an awesome 38-19 after scoring less than 2 runs. And Chris Bassitt's teams have gone 15-0 as a road favorite priced at -125 (or higher). Take Toronto. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Dolphins +2 v. Texans | Top | 28-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Miami Dolphins + the points over the Houston Texans. Houston has been installed as a favorite this week following its 20-9 win at New England in Week 1. This afternoon, Houston will take on the Dolphins, who out-yarded the Atlanta Falcons, 317-227, in their opener, but lost, 19-3. The reason the Dolphins lost was turnovers. Miami coughed up the football four times, while the Falcons committed zero turnovers. We'll take Miami to bounce back off that embarrassing defeat, as NFL road underdogs with a scoring margin at least 27 points worse than their opponent have covered 63% since 1983 in Week 2. Meanwhile, teams like Houston, off a double-digit road win in Week 1 have covered just 43% in Week 2. Grab the points with Miami. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-19-23 | Royals v. Cubs -183 | Top | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
At 2:20 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Cubs over the Kansas City Royals. What kind of future odds could you have gotten on the Cubs' Justin Steele leading the Majors in wins this season? Most people hadn't even heard of the 27-year-old LHP back in March, much less predicted he would be one of the best pitchers in the league this season. And of the four starters tied with 13 victories as of this writing (Zac Gallen, Spencer Strider, and Taijuan Walker are the other three) Steele has the lowest ERA at 2.79. He'll get his 23rd start of the season this afternoon and it will come at home against one of the worst teams in baseball. Not only is Steele tied for the most wins in the Majors, but at 13-3, he has the top win percentage as well at .813. Steele has done by far his best work at home this season as in 16 starts here at Wrigley he is 9-2 with a 2.56 ERA (vs. 4-1 and 3.38 in six starts on the road). In eight inter-league starts in 2023, Steele is 4-2 with a 2.70 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-18-23 | Bengals +6.5 v. Falcons | Top | 13-13 | Win | 100 | 38 h 25 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals + the points over the Atlanta Falcons. The Bengals were blown out at home, 36-19, by Green Bay last week, and have been installed as a huge underdog this week. We'll grab the points, as underdogs of more than 6 have covered 57.4 percent in the preseason since 1983. Even better: the Falcons are a miserable 15-35 ATS their last 50 preseason games, including 5-20 ATS at home. Take Cincinnati + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-18-23 | Blue Jays -145 v. Reds | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -145 | 18 h 40 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds were getting people in Cincinnati excited about baseball again back in June when super prospect Elly De La Cruz came up and the team started putting strings of victories together (at one point winning 12 straight). But things have cooled off considerably and Cincy comes into this weekend series with the Jays having lost 10 of its last 14 games while falling behind the Cubs in the NL Central. Toronto comes into Cincinnati for the first time in almost 10 years hungry for its own winning streak as it vies for an AL Wild Card spot. The Jays will send veteran RH Jose Berrios to the mound for his 25th start of the season. The 29-year-old is 9-8 with a 3.53 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in just over 140 innings. The Jays have taken five of the last six meetings with the Reds going back to May of 2017, and are 24-13 in interleague games this season (and 51-26 the last 3 years). Take Toronto. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-17-23 | Brewers +132 v. Dodgers | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 4 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Brewers are trying to create some separation between themselves and the Reds and Cubs in the NL Central as it's quite possible that only the division winner will advance from that group. But it's difficult when you're playing the Dodgers and Rangers -- Milwaukee's two opponents this week. The Brewers send their best starter, RH Corbin Burnes, out to the mound tonight and Burnes will be looking to bounce back from a sub-par performance last Friday in Chicago against the White Sox. Although the Brew Crew came back to win that game, it was an ugly outing from their ace (5.2 IP, 5 ER, 8 H). Prior to that poor start, though, Burnes had gone 4-1 with a 2.00 ERA with 52 strikeouts and only 17 hits allowed in his previous seven starts covering 45 innings. In 13 starts on the road this season, Burnes is 5-3 with a 3.35 ERA (vs. 4-3 and 3.92 in 11 starts at home). The Brewers are also 7-2 in Burnes' last nine starts going back to June 25. Take Milwaukee. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-16-23 | Brewers v. Dodgers -219 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Milwaukee Brewers. Last Thursday, Clayton Kershaw saw his first game action since June 27, and it was vintage Kershaw -- albeit a bit shorter than what we're used to seeing when he's 100%. In that start -- his 17th of the season -- Kershaw allowed one run on three hits in five innings with four strikeouts and no walks in a 2-1 Dodgers victory over the Rockies. You can bet that the Dodgers will be cautious with their future Hall-of-Fame southpaw the rest of the regular season and they want Kershaw to be as close to his old self as possible come post-season. His next start will come tonight back at home against a better team than the one he faced last time. The Brewers are in first place in the NL Central, as they lead the Cubs and Reds by 3.5 games. In 17 career starts against the Brewers covering 106 innings, Kershaw is 7-5 with a 2.97 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. L.A. is 4-2 in the last six meetings with the Brew Crew. Take the Dodgers. |

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Baltimore Orioles. Since May 25, Blake Snell has been the best pitcher in baseball, as he's gone 8-2, and has allowed just 11 earned runs in 85 innings (1.16 ERA). Over that same time period, Dean Kremer has allowed 39 runs in 79 1/3 innings (4.42 ERA). In his career, Blake Snell's teams are 20-8 (+5.8 net games) as a home favorite priced from -150 to -200. Take the Padres. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-16-23 | Astros v. Marlins +107 | Top | 12-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Marlins over the Houston Astros. Justin Verlander came back to Houston at the trade deadline and so far in the couple of starts he's had back in an Astros uniform, the veteran RH has been solid but not over-powering. Clearly Verlander isn't the same pitcher he was last season when he won his third Cy Young award after going 18-4 with a 1.75 ERA. And he has a tough match-up tonight against the Marlins and their ace LH Jesus Luzardo. The 25-year-old from Peru is enjoying his second full season in South Florida, going 8-7 with a 3.91 ERA in 24 starts covering just under 134 innings. But Luzardo is coming off of his worst start of the season right here at home against the Yankees last Friday. In that one he allowed seven runs on nine hits in just 3 1/3 innings. The good news is that Luzardo is a strong candidate to bounce back tonight against an Astros team that he's intimately familiar with from his time in the AL West with the A's. The Marlins are 10-4 in Luzardo's last 14 starts here at LoanDepot Park. Take Miami. |

08-15-23 | Mariners -142 v. Royals | Top | 10-8 | Win | 100 | 15 h 8 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Kansas City Royals. In the first game of this series in Kansas City last night, the Mariners played yet another see-saw affair which has been the case more often than not lately. After scoring six runs in the last two innings to take the lead from the Royals, Seattle's bullpen was at it again, giving up a pair of runs in the bottom of the 9th allowing the Royals to escape with a 7-6 victory. The M's called upon former #1 draft pick Emerson Hancock for his MLB debut six days ago and the 24-year-old RH did not disappoint, throwing five innings while allowing just one run on two hits in a 6-1 Seattle win over the Padres. The former University of Georgia standout will get his second start for the M's tonight in another critical situation. And it's undoubtedly a better situation than his first start as he gets to face the 39-81 Royals who will go with veteran Jordan Lyles who is just 3-13 on the season (and the Royals have lost 16 of his 19 starts). Over his last four starts, Lyles has allowed 17 earned runs in 23 2/3 innings for an ERA of 6.46. Seattle is a solid 22-8 when priced on the road from -125 to -175. Take the Mariners. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-14-23 | Orioles v. Padres -150 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -150 | 17 h 2 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles just keep on amazing everyone and their wild series in Seattle prior to coming here was yet another example of how good they are -- even if they play on the edge most of the time. They took two out of three from the Mariners but it wasn't easy and now they'll have their hands full facing a trio of starters that's about as good as it gets in today's league (Darvish, Wacha, and Snell). They begin with the 36-year-old Japanese star RH. Darvish hasn't had the dominating season we're used to seeing from him, but he still has a crazy mix of pitches and is capable of going deep into games against the best lineups. In 21 starts covering just over 120 innings, Darvish is 8-7 with a 4.19 ERA with 125 strikeouts. Darvish has been great in these interleague situations in his career as he is 17-8 with a 3.23 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 37 starts covering 231 1/3 innings vs. teams from the opposite league. Take the Padres. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-14-23 | Yankees v. Braves -216 | Top | 3-11 | Win | 100 | 15 h 41 m | Show |
At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the New York Yankees. The Braves just took 3 of 4 from the Mets and outscored them, 40-10. Tonight, they'll take on the Big Apple's other franchise, the Yankees. The Pinstripes have floundered this season, with a 60-58 record. And they've now lost six straight road series to St. Louis, Colorado, Anaheim, Baltimore, the White Sox, and Miami. In those six series, the Yankees went 5-13. Max Fried gets the ball for Atlanta, and the Braves have gone an awesome 86-39 (33.6 net games) in his starts, including 43-18 (+12.3 net games) in his 61 home starts. Take Atlanta. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-14-23 | Astros -135 v. Marlins | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -135 | 14 h 4 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Miami Marlins. In his first start back after he threw a no-hitter at home on August 1, LHP Framber Valdez didn't have his best stuff in Baltimore. Fortunately, it didn't matter in the W/L column as the Astros got a dramatic 9th inning grand slam from Kyle Tucker and beat the Orioles 7-6 on August 8. With all that drama behind him, the 29-year-old southpaw will hopefully be able to settle down tonight in South Florida and pitch like he has been most of 2023. It will be just his second career start vs. the Marlins and his first one was solid -- a six-inning outing last June 11 when he allowed two runs on four hits in a 5-1 Miami victory. Valdez enjoys these situations as in 21 interleague starts covering just under 123 innings he is 9-7 with a 3.52 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 122 strikeouts. He is also 5-2 on the road this season vs. just 4-5 at home and the 'Stros are 26-13 in his last 39 starts away from Houston. The Astros are also 11-4 in Valdez's last 15 starts going back to May 9. Take Houston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-13-23 | Rangers v. Giants -132 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Texas Rangers. Giants' RHP Logan Webb's MLB workload has increased in each of the four seasons he's been in the league. And by the looks of things, it's going to increase again this season. In fact, Webb's 154 1/3 innings of work coming into this afternoon -- his 25th start of the season -- leads all MLB starters and he'll likely go over 200 for the first time in his career (he had a career-high 192 1/3 in 2022). He'll be facing a very good Texas Rangers team but it's one that he's had some success against in the past. In two career starts vs. the Rangers covering 9 2/3 innings, Webb is 1-0 with a 1.86 ERA with 14 strikeouts. He also loves pitching here at home as in 51 appearances at Oracle Park (48 starts), Webb is 22-14 with a 2.81 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Compare that to his road numbers -- 18-14 with a 4.10 ERA in 53 starts -- and you can see why the Giants want to try to give him as many home starts as possible down the stretch. Nothwithstanding yesterday's defeat, the Giants have won seven of the last 11 meetings with Texas. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie

08-12-23 | Rangers v. Giants -120 | Top | 9-3 | Loss | -120 | 17 h 48 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Texas Rangers. With things seemingly spiraling out of control for both the Diamondbacks and Padres, the door has never been as wide open for the Giants this season as it appears right now. Both of those aforementioned NL West teams have losing records while the Giants are eight games over .500 and poised to become the #2 Wild Card team in the NL if things ended right now. The Giants will send RHP Alex Cobb to the mound for his 22nd start of the season. The 35-year-old is having one of this best campaigns since his 2017 season when he won 12 games and earlier this summer he made the All Star team for the first time. Cobb's start tonight will come against one of the best teams in MLB this season in the Texas Rangers. Cobb excels in inter-league situations as in 33 career starts covering 204 innings vs. teams from the opposite league, Cobb is 13-9 with a 2.69 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. The Giants are 11-1 in Cobb's last 12 starts under the lights, and 7-0 in his last seven home outings. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-12-23 | Yankees v. Marlins -125 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Miami Marlins over the New York Yankees. The tough luck pitcher of all of MLB in the second half has to be Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins. Now granted, earlier in the season, Alcantara was mostly just pitching poorly, but that hasn't been the case since the second week of July. In his last six starts, Alcantara has a 2.59 ERA with 36 strikeouts and five walks in just under 42 innings. Yet he has just a 1-3 record to show for it and the Marlins are 1-5 in those. The good news is there's a lot of ball left to be played so hopefully for Miami, Alcantara doesn't let the frustration get to him as the team will definitely need him down the stretch as it battles for a Wild Card spot. Start number 24 for the 27-year-old RH will come this afternoon at home against the Yankees. Although his record doesn't show it, Alcantara has done his best work here this season with a 3.95 ERA in south Florida vs. 4.56 elsewhere. Despite a disappointing season so far, the skill set is still there as Alcantara has two complete games to his credit in 2023 (one of them being a shutout). Take Miami. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-12-23 | Jets +3.5 v. Panthers | Top | 27-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
At 4 pm, our selection is on the New York Jets + the points over the Carolina Panthers. QB Aaron Rodgers didn't play in last week's 21-16 upset loss to the Cleveland Browns, and he won't play again today vs. the Panthers. So, the Panthers have been installed as a big favorite, in Frank Reich's debut as head coach. But I will happily take the points with the Jets, as the Panthers have covered just 3 of 16 preseason games vs. foes off an upset loss, provided the Panthers weren't also off an upset loss. Grab the points with New York. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-11-23 | Angels v. Astros -183 | Top | 3-11 | Win | 100 | 16 h 45 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Anaheim Angels. Justin Verlander is no doubt happy to be back with the Houston Astros, with which he won two World Series rings (2017, 2022), and two Cy Young Awards (2019, 2022). And he also will be happy to face the Angels tonight, given that he's compiled a 2.36 ERA over his last 13 starts vs. Anaheim, with the Astros winning 10 of those 13 games. Verlander will match up against the Angels' Reid Detmers, who has a career ERA of 4.88 in six starts vs. Houston. Even worse for Anaheim: the Astros are 63-26 (+21.2 net games) vs. southpaws. Take the Astros. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-11-23 | Braves -166 v. Mets | Top | 7-0 | Win | 100 | 15 h 45 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the New York Mets. The Braves lost to the Buccos yesterday, 7-5. And that was Atlanta's 4th defeat in its last six games. We'll take Atlanta to bounce back this evening, as it's an awesome 84-37 (+22.3 net games) as a road favorite priced at -125 or higher. Meanwhile, the Mets are a miserable 8-29 (minus 20.2 net games) as an underdog this season. Take Atlanta. |

08-11-23 | Guardians v. Rays -187 | Top | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 14 h 14 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Cleveland Guardians. The starting pitchers who changed clubs over the trade deadline have had their first -- and in some cases, second -- starts with their new team...with varying results. One of the ones who struggled first time up was the Rays' newest arm, RH Aaron Civale. The 28-year-old went into Detroit on August 5 and laid a bit of an egg, giving up three runs on nine hits in just 4 1/3 innings. The pressure is on Civale more now than it was even five days ago with the recent news that Tampa's ace, Shane McClanahan is "highly unlikely" to pitch again the rest of the season due to forearm tightness. So Civale's second start -- his first in front of his new home fans -- becomes very important as the Rays try to catch the Orioles in the East. And it comes against no less than his former club, the Guardians, so he should know the lineup very well. In Cleveland this season, Civale was an ace, going 5-2 with a sparkling 2.34 ERA in 13 starts covering 77 innings, and he pitched better on the road than at home. Take Tampa. |

08-10-23 | Twins -150 v. Tigers | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -150 | 3 h 46 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Twins over the Detroit Tigers. Last night, the Tigers won 9-5, and out-hit the Twins 17-7, behind two Spencer Torkelson home runs. And that was Minny's 2nd straight defeat. I like the Twins to bounce back on Thursday. Kenta Maeda will get his 13th start of the season. Overall, his ERA is 4.22, while his WHIP is 1.15. But one of his 12 starts was a disastrous game on April 26, in which he allowed 10 runs and 11 hits in 3 innings vs. the Yankees. Outside of that one outlier, his ERA for his other 11 starts is 2.85, and his WHIP is 0.98. For his last 3 starts, Maeda's ERA is 2.08, with a 0.92 WHIP, while his mound opponent, Reese Olson, has a 7.31 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP over his last 3 outings. And the Tigers have dropped each of his last 4 starts. Minnesota is 10-1 after getting out-hit in their previous game by at least 10, and 49-39 (+11.4 net games) after losing by more than 3 runs, while Detroit is 3-12 after winning by more than 3 runs. |

08-09-23 | Blue Jays -140 v. Guardians | Top | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Cleveland Guardians. The much-ballyhooed Toronto offense laid another egg on Tuesday night, getting shut out by the Guardians in the second game of this series. The lack of run-scoring has occurred more than a few times this season as the Jays have been trying just about everything to get Vlad Guerrero, George Springer and the rest of the line-up producing like it's capable of. The good news is that despite their offensive struggles at times, the Jays are still right in the thick of the AL Wild Card race. They'll send their ace, RH Kevin Gausman to the mound for his 23rd start of the season in the third of this four-game set in Cleveland. Unlike some of the hitters on the team, Gausman has been producing steadily and consistently for his club most of the season. In 22 starts covering 132 innings, Gausman is 8-6 with a 3.20 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with a career-best 12.1 strikeouts per nine innings. In three career games at Progressive Field (two starts) Gausman is 2-1 with a 2.40 ERA. And Toronto is also 37-18 (+14.9 net games) following a game where it scored less than 2 runs. Take the Blue Jays. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-09-23 | Twins -150 v. Tigers | Top | 5-9 | Loss | -150 | 10 h 54 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Twins over the Detroit Tigers. With the total demise of the Guardians and White Sox, it seems a foregone conclusion now that the Twins will win the AL Central. But no matter how much those other teams have dismantled themselves and how poorly they have played, the Twins just can't find consistency with their offense. Their pitching -- for the most part -- has been a different story. In fact, with a 3.83 ERA, the Twins have the sixth-best pitching staff in the Majors. And one of the main reasons is the performance of RH Bailey Ober. The 27-year-old is in his third MLB season and he's 6-5 with a 3.21 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 18 starts covering just under 104 innings. Start number 19 will come this evening and it will be his second of the season against Detroit (he threw six quality innings vs. the Tigers back in June, taking a no-decision in a 6-3 Minnesota win). Four of Ober's six 2023 wins have come on the road and the Twins have won four of his last six starts going back to that June 25 no-decision here in Detroit). Take Minny. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

08-08-23 | Nationals v. Phillies -179 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -179 | 2 h 27 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, in GAME 2 of the double-header, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Washington Nationals. Ranger Suarez will toe the rubber for Philly tonight, and the Phillies are 23-12 (+12.9 net games) in his last 35 nighttime starts, and 5-1 in his six career starts vs. the Nats. That bodes well for the home team here. As does the fact that Washington is a wallet-breaking 27-78 (minus 28.3 net games) vs. division rivals. Josiah Gray has made 7 career starts vs. the Phillies, and his ERA is an elevated 4.95. Take Philly. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-08-23 | Marlins -133 v. Reds | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Marlins over the Cincinnati Reds. Like the Angels over in the AL, it's been a rough go for the Marlins since the trade deadline. With the loss here last night, Miami has now dropped five in a row since its last win on August 2. But despite this latest setback, it is no time to panic in South Florida as the Marlins remain in the thick of the NL Wild Card chase thanks to mediocre play by the Reds, Diamondbacks, and Padres. They'll send out 25-year-old LH Braxton Garrett for his 22nd start of the season tonight. The young southpaw has had a very good season, going 5-3 with a 4.14 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 122 strikeouts and only 19 walks in 111 innings. And apparently Garrett prefers to get his starts on the road as in 12 games (11 starts) in Miami, he is 2-2 with a 5.40 ERA. However, in 10 road starts Garrett has logged a 3-1 record with a 2.65 number. This same matchup -- Miami with Garrett and Cincy with Luke Weaver -- faced off on May 14 in South Florida and Garrett and the Fish prevailed 3-1. Miami is also 11-1 behind Garrett when priced from -125 to -175. Take the Marlins. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-07-23 | Marlins -128 v. Reds | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -128 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Marlins over the Cincinnati Reds. Not that long ago, the Reds were the darlings of the National League, holding down first place in the NL Central by two games and sitting 10 games over .500. But a late July swoon, a crazy onslaught by the Cubs, and most recently a sweep at the hands of the Nationals in DC have landed Cincy in third place heading into this week. They come home for a three-game set against the Marlins who will be happy to get out of Arlington, Texas after getting swept by the Rangers. They should get a boost from the return of phenom starter Eury Perez who will go to the mound for his 12th start of the season tonight. Perez had roughly a month to reset himself and monitor his workload in the Minors and will make his first start with the big league club since July 6. The 20-year-old RHP opened his MLB career against the Reds on May 12 and will face them for the second time tonight. The Marlins are 33-19 in their last 52 as a favorite of -110 or higher. Take Miami. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-07-23 | Dodgers v. Padres -114 | Top | 13-7 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Unlike some other "bubble" teams who decided to stand pat at the trade deadline, the Padres looked to improve both their offense and pitching with the acquisitions of Rich Hill, Ji-Man Choi, Garrett Cooper and Scott Barlow. None of them are big name impact players, proof that A.J. Preller and the rest of the San Diego brass feel like they already have the pieces in place to make a playoff run. That certainly didn't look to be the case in front of a national TV audience on Sunday night, so now the Pads will try again this afternoon in the last game of this four-game set at home. Converted reliever Seth Lugo will go to the hill for the 17th time this season (all of them starts). The 33-year-old RHP is 4-5 with a 3.54 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 89 innings so by almost any measure you have to say that his conversion to the rotation has been a success. Lifetime vs. the Dodgers, Lugo is 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 11 appearances -- one start -- covering 16 2/3 innings. Take the Padres. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-06-23 | Diamondbacks -146 v. Twins | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -146 | 15 h 33 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Minnesota Twins. Things got ugly for Arizona in Minneapolis yesterday as the Twins put up a dozen runs on the visitors in a 12-1 rout. But whenever their ace, Zac Gallen pitches, the D-Backs know they have a good chance to win. Gallen will get his 24th start of the season today and one more victory will tie his career high of 12 that he set a year ago. In 23 starts covering 142 2/3 innings, Gallen is 11-5 with a 3.41 ERA and 1.09 WHIP and he was All Star for the first time last month. Gallen's only other career start against the Twins was a good one -- two runs on four hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and three walks back 2019. That was a bad beat as Minny won the game, 2-1 and so Gallen has a chance for some revenge this afternoon. If you thought Dallas Keuchel was out of baseball you're not alone. But the Twins signed the LH and his 87 MPH fastball to a free agent contract in June after being released by Texas. In his last eight starts of 2022, Keuchel was a miserable 0-6 with an 11.94 ERA. Even worse: the Twins are 25-53 (minus 24.1 net games) as an underdog of +150 or less. Take Arizona. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-05-23 | Dodgers v. Padres -144 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Southpaw Blake Snell will get the start for San Diego, and he's been terrific vs. Los Angeles in his career. In 14 starts, his ERA is 2.55, with a WHIP of 1.07. Even better: in his career, Snell's teams have cashed 36 of 53 (+15.9 net games) at home when he's faced a winning ball club. Snell has also been in spectacular form, as his ERA over his last 13 starts is a microscopic 0.75 And the Dodgers have been under water this season vs. lefties, with a 15-17 record (minus 12.0 net games). Take San Diego. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-05-23 | Pirates v. Brewers -1.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -124 | 14 h 36 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers minus 1.5 runs over the Pittsburgh Pirates. It wasn't that long ago that the Brewers featured a "big three" of starting pitching consisting of Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Freddy Peralta. Fast forward to 2023 and Woodruff has been shelved since April (but may return tomorrow) while Peralta is in a funk which has lasted most of the last two seasons. That leaves Burnes, who at 28-years-old is still considered one of the best RH starters in the Majors. In 22 starts this season, Burnes is 9-6 with a 3.44 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 136 strikeouts in 133 1/3 innings. And in six July starts, his ERA was a sensational 1.85. But most importantly for tonight, Burnes is a Pirate slayer as in 21 career appearances vs. Pittsburgh -- including nine starts -- Burnes is 7-1 with a 3.36 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 80 strikeouts in just under 70 innings. Those seven victories represent the most that Burnes has logged against any team in the Majors. The Brewers are also 23-10 (+13 games on the money line) in their last 33 games against NL Central opponents. Take Milwaukee. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-04-23 | Dodgers v. Padres -105 | Top | 10-5 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 11 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Last night, Dave Roberts' men completed a 3-game sweep of the Oakland A's with an 8-2 win behind Julio Urias, while the Padres had Thursday off following an 11-1 blowout of Colorado on Wednesday. Yu Darvish gets the start for the Padres, and he threw six shutout innings in a 4-0 win over Texas last Saturday. That bodes well for San Diego as, in his career, Darvish's teams have gone 27-16 in his starts after he gave up 0 runs in his previous outing. Tonight, Darvish will make his 13th start vs. Los Angeles, while Bobby Miller will make his first career start vs. the Padres. And Darvish has had much success in his storied career vs. the Dodgers, as he's compiled a 2.57 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. He's also 3-0 in his last 3 starts vs. L.A., with a 1.92 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP. Even better: the Padres are 24-7 (+12.9 net games) at home when playing with double-revenge, and 25-10 (+15.4 net games) when not playing the previous day. Take San Diego. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-03-23 | Twins -108 v. Cardinals | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 28 m | Show |
At 7:45 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Twins over the St. Louis Cardinals. It is very unusual for a contending MLB team to do nothing at the trade deadline. However, that's the situation with the Twins who made exactly zero trades despite the fact that they are in the thick of it in the AL Central. Perhaps the reason is because pretty much everyone they are competing with (Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago) were sellers at the deadline so Minny figured it could just sit tight. Whatever the reason, this is a pretty good team with a solid pitching staff (their team WHIP of 1.18 is lowest in all of MLB) including RH Sonny Gray who will get his 22nd start of the season tonight. In contrast to the Twins, the Cards were very busy at the trade deadline, moving mostly pitching, while holding on to their hitting stars (Arenado, Goldschmidt, etc). Gray has plenty of experience against St. Louis from his time with the Reds. Additionally, in 36 inter-league games (35 starts), Gray is 12-9 with a 3.43 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. Finally, the Redbirds are a dismal 26-50 (-13.4 net games) as an underdog priced from +125 to +175, and 25-45 (minus 24.9 net games) at night. Take the Twins. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-02-23 | Rays v. Yankees -105 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 19 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Tampa Bay Rays. Gerrit Cole is having a very good season but imagine how great it could be if not for four road starts in which he allowed one run or less and his team either didn't score or couldn't hold a lead. There was his start in Toronto on May 17 (6 IP, 0 R, 2 H), New York on June 14 (6 IP, 1 R, 4 H) and Colorado on July 16 (6 IP, 1 ER, 2 H). But the one that takes the cake was his last start when he shut out a very good Orioles line-up in Baltimore allowing just three hits in seven innings with nothing to show for it when the O's walked it off in the bottom of the 9th, 1-0. That was Aaron Judge's first game back and the hope is that with some games under his belt, the HR king will lead this Yankee offense back to life again. The Yanks' RH ace will take his league-leading 2.64 ERA to the mound for his 23rd start of the season tonight against another good team in the Rays. Cole's ERA is higher at home this season but he is 6-1 here vs. 3-1 on the road and the Yanks are 12-1 in his 13 home starts. Take New York. As always, good luck...Al McMordie

08-01-23 | Angels v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves -1.5 runs over the Los Angeles Angels. You can't get more contrasted than the Angels and Braves right now. One is an American League team struggling to stay in contention and as a result acquiring players left and right at the deadline. The other is an NL club with the best record in baseball and unlikely to make many if any moves before Tuesday night. The Halos drew first blood in this series on Monday night so tonight Atlanta will turn to its strikeout machine, RH Spencer Strider in Game 2. The 24-year-old flame-thrower has already matched his win total from last season (11) and Strider is also just three punch-outs shy of the 202 he put up in his rookie season. Tonight will be Strider's first career start vs. the Angels and in 11 career inter-league appearances -- 10 starts -- he is 4-2 with a 3.29 ERA and 99 strikeouts in 63 innings. After a strange month of June in which he went 4-0 but posted an ugly 5.06 ERA, Strider turned it around in July logging a 3.73 ERA in five starts. The Braves are 9-2 in his last 11 starts (winning each of the nine games by 2 or more runs). Take Atlanta minus 1.5 runs. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-31-23 | Orioles v. Blue Jays -129 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -129 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Baltimore Orioles. So far, of the potential playoff teams in the AL it's been the ones in the West -- Texas, Los Angeles, Houston -- who have been making all of the noise as far as deadline trading goes, especially the Rangers. The Rays, Orioles and Blue Jays have been relatively quiet in comparison. That may be because each of those teams feels like it can go the rest of the way with the roster that got it here. The Jays in particular may feel that some of their best players in a stacked lineup are just now starting to come around. And the loss of their closer, Jordan Romano, to a back issue doesn't seem to have them too concerned. Their starting pitching has been solid and tonight it will be RH Chris Bassitt getting his league-leading 23rd start of the season. Bassitt is 10-5 with a 3.91 ERA in just under 127 innings and he also has a complete game shutout to his credit. Bassitt's teams are 20-7 in his last 27 starts as a favorite of at least -125 and the Jays are 5-1 in his last six overall. Take Toronto. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-31-23 | Brewers -190 v. Nationals | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -190 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Washington Nationals. To begin last week, the Brewers took two of three from the Reds and looked to be sitting in the catbird seat in the NL Central with Cincy cooling off a bit. But a weekend sweep in which Milwaukee surrendered 28 runs to the Braves have tightened things up again -- and now the Cubs are over .500 as well. They still have the benefit of being in the softest division in the NL, but if the Brewers are going to win it, they might want to consider trading for some pitching in the next two days. They'll send the only bona-fide ace left on their staff -- RH Corbin Burnes -- to the mound tonight for the first of three in DC against the Nats. The 28-year-old is having another outstanding season, going 9-6 with a 3.46 ERA in 21 starts with 131 strikeouts in 127 1/3 innings. Hard to believe, but Burnes has never started vs. Washington although he does have three scoreless relief innings against them on his ledger. He's 5-3 with a 3.00 ERA in 11 road starts in 2023 (vs. 4.01 in 10 starts at home). Take the Crew. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-30-23 | Tigers v. Marlins -146 | Top | 6-8 | Win | 100 | 13 h 47 m | Show |
At 1:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Marlins over the Detroit Tigers. With the Mets signaling that they are going to be sellers, the Braves not having to do anything and the Phillies apparently happy with the players they have, eyes are on the Miami Marlins to see what they might do at the upcoming trade deadline. Miami's pitching has been pretty solid (6th-best ERA in the NL) but they could use some help with their lineup. One of the reasons they don't need a lot of help with their pitching is the performance of Jesus Luzardo. The 25-year-old LH is 8-5 with a 3.22 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 21 starts covering just over 120 innings so far. This afternoon will be Luzardo's first career start vs. the Tigers and a repeat of his last start in which he was dominant (7 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 13 Ks, 0 BBs) should get the job done. He's done his best work at home this season as in 12 starts here, Luzardo is 4-2 with a 2.32 ERA and 0.96 WHIP vs. 4-3 and 4.63 with a 1.44 WHIP in nine starts on the road. The Marlins are 9-3 in Luzardo's last 12 home starts coming into today. Take Miami. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-30-23 | Phillies -141 v. Pirates | Top | 4-6 | Loss | -141 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
At 1:35 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies are heading for a National League Wild Card spot with a win percentage around .540. On the surface, that may not sound like the kind of season that a team with Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Aaron Nola would aspire to. But last season the Phils finished with a .537 win percentage and a Wild Card spot and turned that into a World Series appearance. Cristopher Sanchez is a 26-year-old LH for the Phils in his third year in the Majors. Call Sanchez a hard-luck starter if you want as, despite a 2.98 ERA in eight starts, the Dominican has nothing to show for it with an 0-3 record. But his last four starts have come against the Orioles, Brewers, Padres, and Rays, so perhaps a step-down in class this afternoon will help him notch his first W of the season. In addition to the low ERA, the young southpaw also has a 0.97 WHIP, 1.3 walk rate and 6.33 K:BB ratio. Despite the loss last night, the Phillies are 16-2 in their last 18 as a road favorite of -125 or more. Take Philadelphia. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-29-23 | Rays v. Astros -133 | Top | 4-17 | Win | 100 | 14 h 16 m | Show |
At 7:15 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Tampa Bay Rays. With roughly 1/3 of the MLB season left to play, the AL West race just might be the most entertaining in the league. The Rangers have led virtually the entire way, but their lead is a little bit tenuous right now. The defending champion Astros are hot and you can almost never count them out, while the Angels are not that far behind in third and have bolstered their pitching staff thanks to some timely trades. The Rays are also battling over in the East, so this series is one of the most important of the weekend. The Rays drew first blood and after seeing a couple of veteran aces last night on the mound tonight we will see a couple of young guns in Taj Bradley for the Rays and Hunter Brown for the 'Stros. Houston's 24-year-old rookie RH has been inconsistent but he threw a quality start in his previous outing and may be ready to break out down the stretch. It also just so happens that Brown's best start of the season came in Tampa back on April 26 -- a seven inning, two-hit shutout against the Rays. Houston is an awesome 79-49 (+25.6 net games) vs. winning foes, while the Rays are a dismal 61-72 (minus 22.0 net games) on the road. Take the Astros. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-29-23 | Twins -179 v. Royals | Top | 7-10 | Loss | -179 | 14 h 10 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Twins over the Kansas City Royals. KC took Game 1 of this series, 8-5, in extra innings last night. This evening, the Royals will look to win back-to-back games for the first time since July 2. On the season, Kansas City is 6-24 (minus 15.1 net games) off a win (and its longest win streak of the season is 2 games). And it's at its worse when tonight's starter, Jordan Lyles, is on the mound. Lyles has made 19 starts this season, and the Royals have won just once -- a 9-4 win over Tampa on June 24. Bailey Ober gets the ball for Rocco Baldelli's troops tonight, and the Twins are 40-14 (+18.9 net games) vs. American League starting pitchers with an ERA north of 5.90. And they're 28-19 (+8.9 net games) with Ober on the hill. Take the Twins. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

07-28-23 | Twins -154 v. Royals | Top | 5-8 | Loss | -154 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Minnesota Twins over the Kansas City Royals. Just days before the MLB trade deadline, most teams can be categorized into one of two situations -- buyers or sellers. But there are a few teams who really don't fit either. The Twins are one of those teams. They are in one of the weakest divisions in baseball with a good chance to finish on top in the AL Central and get a post-season spot. And they have a lineup and pitching staff that they trust will get them there without a lot of changes. So don't look for Minnesota to make a bunch of deadline deals. One of the most consistent players on the team has been RHP Sonny Gray. The 33-year-old gets his 21st start of the season tonight. Gray is 4-4 with a 3.15 ERA in just over 111 innings but perhaps the most impressive thing about his performance this season is that he has the lowest HR rate in the league (0.2 per game). But the most important thing for tonight is the fact that since 2016, Gray's 9-0 in nine starts vs. the Royals, with 6 earned runs in 56 innings (0.96 ERA, 0.89 WHIP). Take Minnesota. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-28-23 | Brewers v. Braves -156 | Top | 7-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the Milwaukee Brewers. The fact that the Braves have the best record in baseball and a double-digit lead in the NL East is not surprising when you look at their lineup. The fact that they've done this for a while now without two of their best starters -- Max Fried and Kyle Wright -- is however somewhat amazing. They've been filling the holes in the rotation with guys like Allan Winans and Kolby Allard, and tonight Yonny Chirinos. But Fried will be back as early as next week and Wright is about three weeks away, so you might not be seeing these names in the rotation much longer. Chirinos is a 29-year-old RH journeyman who the Braves just picked up on Waivers (from Tampa) and who's been holding his own in his short starts with the Rays. Expect the same tonight in his first career start vs. the Brewers who are in a tight battle with the Reds for the NL Central lead. Atlanta is 10-2 in its last 12 vs. the NL Central and 120-60 (+32.0 net games) in its last 180 night games. And it's also 44-24 (+11.0 net games) off back to back losses. Take the Braves. As always, good luck...Al McMordie

07-27-23 | Guardians v. White Sox -110 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 53 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Cleveland Indians. Just a year ago, Dylan Cease looked like he might become the new darling of the American League aces. When the 27-year-old finished the 2022 season with 14 wins, a 2.20 ERA, 227 strikeouts in 184 innings and a second place finish in the AL Cy Young race, the sky appeared to be the limit -- not only for Cease, but also for the White Sox. After all, Chicago not only had Cease, but also several other budding stars and established veterans on its roster heading into 2023. But now here we are with the Sox scuffling 21 games under .500 and rumors swirling that they are making their RH ace available on the trade market as Cease is on a very team-friendly, one-year contract ($5.7 M) and eligible for arbitration after this season. Cease hasn't been at last season's level, but he's been solid with a 4-3 record and 4.04 ERA in 21 starts covering 113 2/3 innings. The White Sox are 12-4 behind Cease at home when the moneyline is between +125 and -125. Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie |

07-26-23 | Braves -154 v. Red Sox | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -154 | 17 h 8 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the Boston Red Sox. Atlanta's Spencer Strider is the undisputed MLB strikeout king. The 24-year-old RHP has 189 punch-outs in just 116 2/3 innings for what is also a league-leading 14.2 K-rate. Those 189 Ks lead all other MLB pitchers by a wide margin with Kevin Gausman the closest AL pitcher with 162 and Blake Snell the nearest in the NL but more than 40 behind (147). But it's not all about Ks for Strider, who also shares the MLB lead with 11 wins (vs. just three losses) along with a nice 3.78 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Strider will get his 21st start of the season tonight and it will come in his first-ever start against the Red Sox. In 10 career interleague appearances (nine starts), Strider is 4-2 with a 3.34 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Strider has done by far his best work on the road this season where he is 7-1 with a 2.94 ERA in nine starts covering 52 innings (vs. 4-2 and 4.45 in 11 starts at home). The Braves are a sensational 24-6 (+10 games on the moneyline) in Strider's last 30 starts as a favorite of -150 or more. Take Atlanta. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

07-25-23 | A's v. Giants -245 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Oakland A's. One of the unfortunate consequences of a move by the A's to Las Vegas would be the loss of this tremendous Bay Area rivalry. San Francisco has dominated of late, with seven wins in the last 10 meetings (since 2021). And tonight's SF starter -- Alex Cobb -- has also been dominant in his career vs. Oakland, with a 1.96 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 11 starts, including 7 shutout innings in his last outing vs. the A's. We'll take San Francisco tonight, as it's 9-1 this season behind Cobb at night, while Oakland is an ugly 3-21 as a road underdog of +200 (or more) this season, and 9-38 its last 47 (minus 18.0 net games) in that price range. Take San Francisco. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

07-25-23 | Marlins v. Rays -183 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 16 h 49 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Miami Marlins. The Rays may have lost three of four over the weekend to the Orioles to fall two games behind Baltimore in the AL East but they needn't panic just yet. At 61-42 (.592) Tampa still has the second-best record in the American League -- third best in all of baseball. And with the trade deadline fast approaching you can bet the Rays will find a way to improve the roster. Tyler Glasnow was brilliant in the first game of that Os series, as he has been in most of his recent starts -- going seven innings while allowing two earned runs on six hits with nine strikeouts and no walks. But an error resulting in an unearned run and the bullpen lost the game for him. This week the Marlins visit in the battle for bragging rights in the Sunshine State and Glasnow will kick off the series once again. He can expect an easier time against Miami which has lost eight of its last nine overall. This has been a lopsided series lately with the Rays taking nine of the last 10 meetings going back to April 2021. Take Tampa. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-24-23 | Mariners -114 v. Twins | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -114 | 12 h 20 m | Show |
At 7:40 pm our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Minnesota Twins. The Twins and Mariners just played a four-game series last week in Seattle and now after weekend series against different opponents, they'll do it again in three games beginning tonight in Minneapolis. The Mariners will send RHP Luis Castillo to the mound for the 21st time this season. Despite being named to the All Star roster for the third time in his career, Castillo likely isn't satisfied with his season so far. Inconsistent play has dogged the 30-year-old in this, his second season in Seattle, resulting in a losing record despite some pretty solid numbers otherwise. In just over 118 innings, Castillo is 6-7 with a 3.04 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with a strikeout rate over 10. Most importantly, over his last four starts covering 24 innings, Castillo has recorded 25 strikeouts against just two walks. He looks to keep that consistency going tonight at Target Field. Seattle is 36-17 in its last 53 road games with a money line of -100 to -150. Take the Mariners. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-23-23 | Astros -222 v. A's | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Oakland A's. Houston's 3-game win streak was snapped by Paul Blackburn and the A's last night, 4-1. We'll take Houston to win this series finale, as it's 107-67 (+14.3 net games) off a loss, and 65-28 (+15.7 net games) in daytime affairs. Meanwhile, Oakland is a putrid 6-38 (minus 27.9 net games) in the afternoon. Finally, Luis Medina will take the mound for the A's, and he has a 6.04 ERA in his nine starts this season (8.31 in the daytime). He is striking out 8.06 batters per 9 innings, while walking 4.96 batters per 9 innings (a 1.62 strikeout to walk ratio). And that doesn't bode well vs. Houston, as the Astros are 15-0 their last 15 vs. pitchers with poor control who give up at least 2.75 walks per start (Medina gives up 2.77). Take the Astros. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

07-23-23 | Braves -164 v. Brewers | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Braves and Brewers usually play close games and this series appears to be no different. In the first meeting of these two teams in over a year, the Braves drew first blood on Friday, 6-4. Then Milwaukee came back at home on Saturday night and took Game 2 by a 4-3 score, so this afternoon's finale will decide this latest installment. The Braves will send 24-year-old RH Bryce Elder to the mound today. The second-year starter has the dubious distinction of having started for the losing side in the highest scoring game of the season so far when the Diamondbacks beat the Braves last Tuesday, 16-13. That unfortunate outing aside, Elder has been very effective this season, posting a 7-2 record with a 3.31 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 19 starts covering just under 109 innings. Despite their loss last night, the Braves are 9-2 in their last 11 games vs. NL Central opponents and they're also 23-7 in their last 30 as a favorite of -125 or more. Take Atlanta. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-23-23 | Rockies v. Marlins -242 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show |
At 1:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Marlins over the Colorado Rockies. Fans of the Rockies might want to go to the next home stand that begins late next week as it might be a chance to say goodbye to several of the players. Colorado figures to be selling big at the upcoming trade deadline with some familiar names (e.g, CJ Cron and Randal Grichuk) quite possibly packing their bags for other cities. Today however those two and the rest of the club will try to complete an unlikely sweep of the Marlins in Miami. It won't be easy as the Fish send their best starter of late, LH Jesus Luzardo, to the mound for his 21st start of the season. The 25-year-old has an 8-5 record with a 3.34 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 131 strikeouts and 30 walks in 113 1/3 innings. He's done by far his best work at home this season with a 4-2 record and 2.43 ERA in 11 starts here (vs. 4-3 and 4.63 in nine starts on the road). The Marlins are 8-3 in those 11 home starts and they've won three of his last four overall. Take Miami. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

07-22-23 | Giants -182 v. Nationals | Top | 1-10 | Loss | -182 | 15 h 26 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Washington Nationals. The Giants dropped their 3rd straight game last night when Washington upset them, 5-3, behind Jake Irvin. Tonight, the pitching matchup will feature Josiah Gray for the Nats vs. Logan Webb for the Giants. We'll take San Francisco, as it's 39-14 with Webb on the mound when favored (including a spectacular 17-1 when priced from -175 to -250). And it's also 4-0 behind Webb when facing the Nationals. And in those four starts vs. Washington, Webb has a stellar 2.78 ERA, including 1 run over 7 innings, in a 4-1 victory earlier this season. Meanwhile, Washington is a wallet-breaking 42-87 (minus 29.0 net games) at home. Take San Francisco. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
