09-11-21 | Liberty v. Troy +4.5 | Top | 21-13 | Loss | -114 | 40 h 45 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Troy Trojans + the points over Liberty. Troy smashed Southern U., 55-3, last Saturday, and has been installed as a home underdog vs. Liberty in this game. The Flames went 10-1 last season, but this is their road opener for 2021. And NCAA teams have cashed just 32.5% in their road openers if they won 87+ percent of their games the previous season, and were not favored by 7 or more points in the current game. Take Troy + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

09-11-21 | Ball State +23 v. Penn State | Top | 13-44 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 15 m | Show |
At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Ball State Cardinals + the points over Penn State. The Cardinals have been extremely profitable over the last 16 seasons when installed as an underdog of +3 (or more) points in regular season non-conference games, as they're 23-6 ATS. And I love this situation on Saturday, as it's a potential scheduling "flat spot" for the Nittany Lions, as Penn State defeated then-No. 12-ranked Wisconsin last week, and has #25-ranked Auburn on deck. Grab the points with Ball State. |

09-11-21 | Middle Tennessee State +20.5 v. Virginia Tech | Top | 14-35 | Loss | -115 | 35 h 44 m | Show |
At 2 pm, our selection is on the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders + the points over Virginia Tech. Rick Stockstill's Blue Raiders blew out Monmouth last Saturday, 50-15, as an 8.5-point home favorite. And they've now been installed as a big road underdog in Blacksburg against the Hokies. We'll grab the points with Middle Tennessee, as underdogs of +14 (or more) points have gone 108-67 ATS in non-conference games off a win by more than 30 points in their previous game. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Wyoming -6.5 v. Northern Illinois | Top | 50-43 | Win | 100 | 34 h 12 m | Show |
At 1:30 pm, our selection is on the Wyoming Cowboys minus the points over Northern Illinois. The Huskies shocked Georgia Tech in Atlanta last week, as they won, 22-21, as a 19-point road underdog. But when you look through the final score to the stats, you'll notice that Georgia Tech actually out-yarded Northern Illinois 429 to 301. The Huskies have been installed as a home underdog in this non-conference tilt vs. Wyoming. Unfortunately for Thomas Hammock's Huskies, home dogs have covered just 29.4% over the last 32 seasons off an upset win as a 14-point (or greater) underdog, when matched up against a non-conference opponent off a SU win. And Wyoming is 7-2-1 ATS its last 10 vs. foes off an upset win. Lay the points with the Cowboys. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Oregon +14.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 35-28 | Win | 100 | 33 h 47 m | Show |
At 12 Noon, on Saturday, our selection is on the Oregon Ducks + the points over Ohio State. Both of these teams come into Columbus off wins to start the 2021 season. Oregon downed Fresno St., 31-24, while Ohio State went into Minneapolis and defeated the Golden Gophers, 45-31. The fact that Oregon struggled last week in its 7-point win will keep many bettors away from the Ducks this week. It shouldn't. Indeed, Game 2 non-conference underdogs of +20 or less points (or PK) have covered 66.1% over the last 32 seasons after failing to cover the spread in their opener against a non-conference foe, if they were now matched up against an opponent off a double-digit win. Even better: the Ducks are 44-31-2 ATS their last 77 off a point spread loss, including 19-11-1 ATS on the road. And, finally, Pac-12 teams with a winning record have gone 45-19-1 ATS as an underdog vs. Big 10 foes. Take Oregon + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

09-10-21 | Angels v. Astros -190 | Top | 5-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 38 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Anaheim Angels. Shohei Ohtani will surely win the American League MVP Award at season's end. After all, he has 43 home runs at the plate, and a 9-1 record with a 2.97 ERA on the mound. But we'll go against Ohtani tonight in Houston, as the Astros are a jaw-dropping 70-20 at home vs. division rivals. The Astros have also dominated the better pitchers here at Minute Maid Park, as they're 34-12 their last 46 vs. pitchers who give up 5.5 (or less) hits per start. Moreover, they're 19-5 vs. AL pitchers with an ERA of 3.40 (or better). This will be Ohtani's 4th career start vs. Houston, and the Angels have lost each of the first three. Even worse, Anaheim has been outscored 72-34 by the Astros in the 12 games played thus far this season. Take Houston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-21 | Nationals v. Braves -208 | Top | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the Washington Nationals. Huascar Ynoa has faced the Nationals twice already this season, and he held them without an earned run in each game (12 IP, 0 ER, 6 H, 3 BB). He'll match up against Washington's RHP, Erick Fedde, who has had virtually no success in his career vs. Atlanta. He's made six starts against the Braves, and has an 0-4 record, with an ERA of 11.02, and a WHIP of 2.44. Fedde took the mound last month here, in Atlanta, and surrendered 8 hits over 4 2/3 innings, in an 8-4 defeat. The Nationals are a dreadful 26-57 (minus 18.8 games on the moneyline) as an underdog this season, and 2-9 their last 11 off a win. Take Atlanta. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-09-21 | Rockies v. Phillies -181 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -181 | 13 h 35 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Colorado Rockies. When the Phillies desperately needed starting pitching help for the stretch drive, they got it from an unlikely source. The youngster who stepped up was none other than a somewhat obscure 26-year-old Venezuelan southpaw reliever by the name of Ranger Suarez and he hasn't looked back so far in seven starts. In 72 total innings this season, Suarez has logged an unreal 1.38 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and in those seven starts covering 31 2/3 innings, the ERA isn't much higher at 1.77. But perhaps more important for tonight is the fact that Suarez is 5-0 here at home vs. just 1-4 on the road so clearly Citizens Bank Park has agreed with him. This will be his first career start against the Rockies, however in one relief outing covering three innings against them, Suarez was solid, allowing no earned runs on three hits. The Rockies are 15-47 in their last 62 games as a road underdog and they are also 0-4 in their last four tries here in Philadelphia. Take the Phillies. |

09-09-21 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -109 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 34 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Toronto Blue Jays. For LHP Nestor Cortes Jr. and the New York Yankees, the third time just might be the charm. The 26-year-old Cuban southpaw was originally drafted by the Yanks out of Hialeah High School back in 2013 and he signed with them later that year. But when Cortes wasn't placed on New York's 40-man-roster a few years later, the Orioles picked him up by way of the Rule 5 draft in 2017. He was then returned to New York from Baltimore as part of another deal in 2018. But his second stint in pinstripes didn't last long as Cortes was shipped off to Seattle before becoming a free agent and re-signing again with the Yanks this January. And New York seems glad to have him back for a third time as Cortes has been a huge help in a rotation that's been scuffling in the second half. In nine starts, Cortes is 2-2 with a 2.83 ERA and 1.07 WHIP and more importantly, the Yankees are 7-2 in those starts. Take the Yankees. |

09-09-21 | Dodgers -157 v. Cardinals | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -157 | 3 h 15 m | Show |
At 1:15 pm, our selection is on the LA Dodgers over St. Louis. Tony Gonsolin will make his return today after being shelved for shoulder inflammation. He's expected to throw 3 innings, and 50 or so pitches, before giving way to the Dodgers' league-leading bullpen. Jake Woodford will take the mound for the Redbirds, and he's been largely ineffective in his starts this year. His ERA is almost 6 runs per game (5.93), while his WHIP is a bloated 1.68. The Dodgers are 9-0 their last nine off a loss, and I look for them to bounce back off yesterday's 1-run defeat. Take Los Angeles. |
|||||||
09-08-21 | Angels v. Padres -260 | Top | 5-8 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Los Angeles Angels. Yu Darvish will get the ball for the Padres tonight, and he'll be looking to help the Padres bounce back from last night's 4-0 loss. Improbably, the Padres (and starter) Blake Snell, had no-hit the Angels through 6 2/3 innings. But the Angels broke through with 2 runs in the 7th, and tacked on 2 runs in the 9th for the win. San Diego managed just three hits in the game, but falls into a great situation tonight. Major League teams are 57-7 their last 64 when favored by -200 (or more) if they didn't get an extra base hit in their previous game. Combine that with the fact that Darvish is 9-3 in his career vs. the Angels, with a 3.29 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP, and we have all the ammunition to pull the trigger on the Padres as a big home favorite this evening. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-08-21 | Rays v. Red Sox +100 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over the Tampa Bay Rays. The good news for Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi is that he has racked up 10 wins this season. And even when he's not picking up a W, the Sox are still winning when Eovaldi goes to the mound. They are 4-1 in his last five starts dating back to August 11, a game in which Boston defeated this Rays squad, 20-8. And they're 6-1 his last seven home starts. In fact, in two previous starts vs. Tampa here at Fenway Park this season, Eovaldi is 2-0 and has allowed just two runs on six hits in 14 innings with 17 strikeouts and four walks. And the combined score of those two victories was 29-10. Meanwhile, the Rays are 0-4 in Shane McClanahan's last four road starts against winning teams. And they've lost those four games by 2.75 runs per game. So, even though Tampa has had Boston's number in this series, we'll take the Red Sox to win the 3rd game of this 3-game set. Take Boston. As always good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-08-21 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -115 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 22 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Toronto Blue Jays. Luis Gil is a 23-year-old rookie pitcher from the Dominican Republic who has gone from relative obscurity to being an important piece of the New York Yankees stretch drive in a virtual blink of an eye. The Yanks' rotation is in a bit of disarray right now so they need to get the train back on the tracks and that includes giving starts to the talented RHP Gil. In three starts covering 15 2/3 innings, Gil is 1-0 and -- most importantly -- has yet to be scored on. So tonight, he will be on the hill against a Blue Jays team which easily defeated New York and its ace, Gerrit Cole last night, 5-1. But the Yankees are a super 26-13 at home when priced +125 to -125. And they're also 69-41 (+14 net games on the moneyline) off 4+ losses, and 309-200 (+40 net games) after scoring less than 2 runs. Take New York. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

09-07-21 | White Sox v. A's -128 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -128 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Oakland A's over the Chicago White Sox. The A's will be looking to bounce back off a forgettable series in Toronto where they gave up 29 runs over three games. The good news for Bob Melvin's men tonight is that righty James Kaprielian will be on the mound. The rookie is 7-4 this season with a 3.87 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. And at home, those numbers improve to 5-2 with a 2.44 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. He'll face another rookie tonight in Chicago's Jimmy Lambert (0-1, 9.00 ERA), who will make his 3rd start of the season after facing the Indians in his first two. Chicago is an awful 35-61 (minus 20.2 net games on the moneyline) as a road underdog of +150 (or less), including 9-24 its last 33 on the road. Meanwhile, the A's are 45-17 vs. AL Central opponents, and 91-46 (+20.9 net games) as a home favorite. Take Oakland. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
09-06-21 | Mariners v. Astros -209 | Top | 2-11 | Win | 100 | 14 h 27 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Seattle Mariners. With 23 starts now on his ledger for 2021, you could say this is a career season for Houston RH Lance McCullers, Jr. -- at least in terms of durability. The oft-injured 27-year-old never had more than 22 starts before this season, and one more win would also give McCullers a career high in that category as well (2018; 10-6). In those 23 starts covering just over 132 innings, McCullers is 10-4 with a 3.20 ERA and a 10.5 strikeout rate. This will be his fourth start of the year vs. the M's, and in his three previous, McCullers has gone 2-0 with a very nice 3.18 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 17 innings. His career numbers vs. Seattle are arguably even better: 9-3 with a 2.78 ERA in 17 starts covering 97 innings. Heading into this series, the Mariners are 14-37 in the last 51 meetings and 20-45 in the last 65 in Houston. Take Houston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

09-06-21 | Rays v. Red Sox -136 | Top | 11-10 | Loss | -136 | 2 h 53 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over the Tampa Bay Rays. Thanks to an unlikely performance by the Baltimore Orioles -- they took two of three from the Yanks in the Bronx -- the Red Sox have climbed to within a half-game of New York in the standings. Of course the Sox did their part as well this weekend, taking two of three from the Indians. Now they have southpaw ace Chris Sale going in Game 1 of this critical series against the Rays. Sale has done little wrong after returning from his recovery from Tommy John surgery. In four starts covering 21 1/3 innings, Sale is 3-0 with a 2.53 ERA and 24 strikeouts vs. only five walks. Sale is likely still building up his arm strength and it's a scary thought that he might only be 70% or so of where he can eventually get back to. And Sale's career record vs. the Rays is another reason why Boston can be optimistic today. In 21 games vs. Tampa (19 starts) covering 128 1/3 innings, Sale is 10-6 with a 2.95 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Take the Red Sox. |
|||||||
09-06-21 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -128 | Top | 8-0 | Loss | -128 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees went into their weekend series likely thinking what a great opportunity it was to add three more notches in the win column. After all, they were playing the lowly Orioles at home and after a Friday night victory, the sweep must have seemed close enough to reach out and grab. And perhaps that was precisely the problem and the reason why New York dropped the next two games. Now the Yanks come into this four game set against the Jays probably feeling like they have to win at least three if they're going to have any chance of catching the Rays. RHP Jameson Taillon takes his 8-5 record and 4.44 ERA into his 27th start this afternoon. The Yanks have won eight of his last nine starts going back to the beginning of the second half. The Jays are also 0-4 in the last four meetings with the Yankees, and 8-18 in their last 26 here in the Bronx. Take the Yankees. |
|||||||
09-05-21 | Astros -109 v. Padres | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 14 m | Show |
At 4:10, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the San Diego Padres. The Astros' Luis Garcia has pitched himself right into the mix for the AL Rookie of the Year. Texas outfielder Adolis Garcia might be the favorite for the annual award, but Luis has to be considered the top pitching candidate for the honors. In 25 games -- including 23 starts -- covering 128 1/3 innings, the 24-year-old Venezuelan RH is 10-6 with a 3.23 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Garcia could've gotten dejected when his team lost each of his first five starts through May 10. But the youngster kept his cool (he was still pitching well, posting a 3.60 ERA over that span) and since that time, he's gone 10-3 while the 'Stros have won 14 of his 18 starts, including each of his last five. This will be Garcia's first ever start vs. the Padres who will go with veteran RHP Chris Paddack. Paddack has really struggled this season, posting a 4.98 ERA to go with his 7-6 record in 21 games (20 starts) covering 97 2/3 innings. The Padres are 7-22 in their last 29 as a home underdog. Take the 'Stros. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

09-05-21 | Braves -180 v. Rockies | Top | 9-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
At 3:10 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the Colorado Rockies. When veteran RHP Charlie Morton signed with the Rays at the end of 2018 for a relatively inexpensive price and proceeded to go 16-6 and make his second consecutive All Star team, it seemed he might finish his career in Tampa. But after Morton regressed in the shortened 2020 season -- the second of his two year contract -- the Rays let him walk instead of re-signing him. Well, Tampa's loss seems to be Atlanta's gain as the Braves signed Morton at the exact same rate he had been paid down in Florida and now Morton is having another outstanding campaign. In 27 starts covering 151 innings, the 37-year-old is 12-5 with a 3.52 ERA and he's once again anchoring the rotation of a first-place team. Start number 28 will come in the place that many pitchers dread but for a solid veteran like Morton, pitching at Coors Field is likely not all that intimidating. Despite their loss on Saturday, the Braves are 11-2 in their last 13 road games vs. losing teams. Take Atlanta. |
|||||||
09-05-21 | Orioles v. Yankees -290 | Top | 8-7 | Loss | -290 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles. The roller coaster ride that has been RH Corey Kluber's 2021 season -- his first with the Yankees -- has somewhat mirrored that of his entire career. After his first four starts in Pinstripes, the 35-year-old former Cleveland ace was 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA. But right after that Kluber went on a tear in which he won four of five starts, threw a no-hitter -- in Texas -- and dropped his ERA down to 2.86. That was the end of May, and right after that, Kluber had to leave his next start and proceeded to hit the 60-day IL with a strained shoulder. The Yanks are no doubt happy to have Kluber back in the rotation and this afternoon he will try to start another win streak against the lowly Orioles. Kluber has done the best work of his career in the afternoons as in 82 day games (81 starts) the veteran is 40-20 with a 2.99 ERA in 520 innings. Additionally, in nine career starts vs. the O's covering 62 innings, Kluber is 5-1 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. Take New York. |

09-04-21 | UTSA +5.5 v. Illinois | Top | 37-30 | Win | 100 | 61 h 58 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Texas San Antonio Roadrunners + the points over Illinois. The Illini kicked off the Bret Bielema era with a 30-22 upset win over Nebraska, and will look to make it 2-in-a-row for their new head coach. On Saturday night, Texas-San Antonio will come into Champaign, and it will look to continue the success it had last season (7-5 SU and 7-4 ATS). Even better, the Roadrunners are 10-3 ATS their last 13 in the underdog role, while Illinois is a nasty 27-46 ATS its last 73 as a favorite (compared to 11-7 its last 18 as an underdog). And since 1980, Big 10 Conference teams have covered just 31% of their non-conference games off an upset conference win. Take Texas San Antonio + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

09-04-21 | White Sox -158 v. Royals | Top | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 15 h 30 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Kansas City Royals. It's a good thing for them that the White Sox have a 10 game lead in the AL Central heading into the final month of the season. Chicago's two best starters -- Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn -- have ended up on the IL at the same time although both should be back from their leg injuries in time for the post-season. It's also fortunate that this team has plenty of depth because the Sox will now have to reach into its bag of tricks to fill the void left by Giolito and Lynn's absence. Enter 27-year-old Reynaldo Lopez. The RHP had successfully made the transition from starter to reliever this season and he was very effective in that role for Chicago. But now the veteran Dominican is back in the rotation, showing the team that he can do pretty much whatever is asked of him. In 14 games (three starts), Lopez is 3-1 with a 1.54 ERA and 0.69 WHIP. In six career games (four starts) at Kauffman Stadium covering 25 1/3 innings, Lopez is 3-1 with a 3.55 ERA. And Chicago is 32-12 as a road favorite priced -125 (or higher). Meanwhile, Daniel Lynch has a dreadful 14.29 career ERA vs. the ChiSox. Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

09-03-21 | Cardinals v. Brewers -165 | Top | 15-4 | Loss | -165 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers had a chance for a four game sweep against the team with the best record in the Majors last night, but they had to settle for a 3-1 series win against the Giants. That's still not too shabby and should give Milwaukee an extra confidence boost as it heads into the final stretch drive. An NL Central division title is looking more and more certain now as the Crew holds a double-digit lead over the Reds. Tonight's opponent -- the Cards -- are in third place and desperately trying to gain a Wild Card spot. 25-year-old RHP Freddy Peralta goes in his 23rd start of the season tonight and he has been one of the National League's most consistent starters this season. He is 9-3 with a 2.45 ERA and .940 WHIP in just over 121 innings coming into tonight. Peralta has been particularly dominant at Miller Park throughout his career. In 47 games here -- including 20 starts -- he is 14-4 with a 2.74 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 161 innings. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are a dismal 4-17 (minus 11.7 net games) when priced from +125 to +175 on the road. Take the Brewers. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

09-02-21 | Brewers v. Giants -172 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
At 3:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Milwaukee Brewers. Eric Lauer was the main player involved in the 2019 trade which sent Trent Grisham and Zach Davies to the Padres. After a forgettable 2020 season (0-2 with a 13.09 ERA in four games -- two starts) Lauer has bounced back nicely this season. In 18 games -- 14 starts -- covering just over 82 innings, the 26-year-old Brewers RHP is 4-5 with a 3.61 ERA and 82 strikeouts. Start number 15 will come against the Giants this afternoon, but it's against one of the hottest pitchers in baseball. San Francisco's Logan Webb has led his team to wins in 12 of his last 13 starts, with his lone loss to these Brewers and Cy Young candidate Corbin Burnes. Milwaukee won that game on August 6 by a 2-1 score, but Webb gave up just 1 run over six innings, and struck out nine. Indeed, he's given up 2 runs or less in each of his last 13 starts, for a spectacular 1.47 ERA. I look for Webb to avenge that defeat as he has a 1.75 ERA in eight home starts this season. Meanwhile, the Brewers have lost Lauer's last four starts vs. winning teams, while the Giants are 21-5 at home when priced from -150 to -200. Take the Giants. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

09-01-21 | Brewers v. Giants -152 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -152 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
At 9:45 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Milwaukee Brewers. When Kevin Gausman signed a one-year contract last November as a free agent to return to the San Francisco Giants for one more season, winning an NL Cy Young award was probably the furthest thing from his mind. That's to say nothing of the fact that he likely also wasn't expecting to lead his team to the best record in baseball. But here we are with one month to go and right now the 30-year-old RH has to be considered among the four starters in the National League. In 26 starts covering 152 innings, Gausman is 12-5 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. This will be his first start of the season vs. the Brewers. However for his career, Gausman is 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in four games against Milwaukee -- including two starts -- covering 17 innings. This is the first game of this series in which the Giants are favored. And despite their losses in the first two games, they are 42-15 in their last 57 games as a home favorite. Take San Francisco. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-31-21 | Yankees -188 v. Angels | Top | 4-6 | Loss | -188 | 12 h 39 m | Show |
At 9:35 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Los Angeles Angels. The New York Yankees have found out recently how streaky this game of baseball can be. The Yanks put together a 13-game win streak between August 14 and 27 and just as quickly as that one came, a new three-game losing streak has arrived courtesy of the A's and Angels. New York will try to stop the recent bleeding tonight, turning to veteran RHP Jameson Taillon in the process. The 29-year-old former Pirate is 8-4 with a 4.18 ERA in 25 starts covering 127 innings. Taillon only won one game so far in August (five starts) but more important is the fact that the Yankees have been victorious in 11 of his last 12 trips to the mound going back to June 24 (and they've won his last eight). This was Shohei Ohtani's turn in the rotation, but he is not going to face the Yankees as a pitcher in this series (he will still DH) due to a sore wrist. Instead, Jaime Barria (5.56 ERA, 1.52 WHIP) will be on the hill for the Halos, and his career ERA vs. the Yankees is 7.20. Despite their loss here on Monday, the Yanks are still 12-6 in the last 18 meetings and 6-2 in the last eight in Anaheim. And they're 57-27 (+17 games on the moneyline) in nighttime games this season. Take New York. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

08-30-21 | Cardinals v. Reds -179 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -179 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
At 6:40 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Reds over the St. Louis Cardinals. This is a critical divisional matchup, as the Reds currently hold the 2nd wild card berth, but sit just 1.5 games ahead of San Diego, and 3.5 games ahead of St. Louis. After getting off to a slow start in April and May, Castillo is starting to round into form, as he has given up just 6 runs over his last three outings (2.70 ERA). And he's allowed 3 runs or less in 15 of his last 16 starts (2.81 ERA). The Reds have excelled as a favorite of -150 (or more), as they're 22-10 their last 32 (and 48-26 their last 74), including 20-7 (+6.2 net games) when priced from -175 to -250 at home. Meanwhile, St. Louis is a poor 11-23 as an underdog of +150 (or more). Take the Reds. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Royals v. Mariners -160 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Kansas City Royals. This matchup will feature Seattle southpaw Marco Gonzales vs. KC righty Brady Singer. And, in one respect, they're going in opposite directions. Gonzales has won his last four decisions, and has a 2.18 ERA over his last eight outings. In contrast, Singer has lost his last five decisions, and has a 7.78 ERA his last four trips to the mound. Gonzales was last on the hill six days ago when Seattle defeated Oakland, 5-3, so he'll be pitching with an extra day of rest. And Seattle is 8-0 in his home starts, when he's pitched with an extra day or two of rest. Take the Mariners. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Brewers -153 v. Twins | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over Minnesota. The Twins have taken the first two games of this 3-game series, with wins behind southpaws Charlie Barnes and Andrew Albers. This afternoon, Minnesota will hand the ball to righty Griffin Jax, and that bodes especially well for Craig Counsell's men, as Milwaukee is 63-37 (+17.2 net games on the moneyline) vs. righties this season (compared to 15-15, minus 6.5 net games, vs. lefties). And it's 36-17 (+15.4 net games) in daytime action (compared to 42-35 at night, minus 4.7 net games). After an inauspicious debut on June 30 (2/3 inning, 7 runs), Brewers rookie southpaw Aaron Ashby bounced back nicely, and did not allow a run over his next two starts. We'll take Milwaukee behind its top prospect this afternoon, as the Twins have been awful this season vs. lefties (14-29, minus 20.3 net games). Take the Brewers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Giants v. Braves -117 | Top | 0-9 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
At 1:20 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the San Francisco Giants. This matchup will feature Braves righty Ian Anderson against SF's Anthony DeSclafani. Anderson will return from a stint on the injured list for his 19th start this season. He has a nice 3.56 ERA, but experienced inflammation in his throwing shoulder right before the All-Star break, so he was shelved. DeSclafani has been trending downward, as he hasn't had a quality start in any of his last four outings (13 1/3 innings, 10 runs, 6.75 ERA, 1.87 WHIP). Moreover, he's faced the Braves three times in Atlanta in his career, and his teams are 0-3, while his ERA is 5.68. With Atlanta an awesome 99-56 (+30.1 net games) as a favorite of -150 (or less), we'll take Atlanta as a short favorite this afternoon. |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Reds -170 v. Marlins | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -170 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Reds over the Miami Marlins. Cincy righty Tyler Mahle has been electric on the road this season, as he has a 7-1 record in 14 starts, with a 1.72 ERA, and a 0.99 WHIP. This afternoon, he'll face a Marlins team which has dropped 11 of the last 13 to the Reds. Miami will send southpaw Jesus Luzardo to the hill this afternoon. Luzardo certainly has great talent, but he's yet to put it together in the bigs, with a 7.51 ERAand 1.84 WHIP in 11 starts this season. Even worse, his numbers have declined as the season has worn on. In his last four starts, he's allowed 21 runs on 27 hits and 14 walks, over 17 1/3 innings (10.90 ERA; 2.36 WHIP). Take Cincinnati. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Chargers v. Seahawks -5 | Top | 0-27 | Win | 100 | 15 h 52 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Seahawks minus the points over the LA Chargers. Seattle's offense has heretofore been moribund this preseason, as it's scored a total of 10 points in its first two games. But I expect it to breakout on this Saturday night, as NFL teams off back to back games where they scored less than 12 points have covered 70% in the preseason over the last 29+ years. Take the Seahawks minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Rockies v. Dodgers -240 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 14 h 0 m | Show |
At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Colorado Rockies. Jon Gray will toe the rubber for Colorado tonight, while lefty David Price will start for Dave Roberts' crew. Gray has been horrible over his last three starts, as he has a 7.72 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP. And he can't use Coors Field as an excuse, as two of those three starts were away from home. Tonight, he'll pitch at Dodger Stadium, where he has a 1-6 record in eight starts, and a 6.37 ERA and 1.72 WHIP. Meanwhile, Price has a 3.17 ERA in his 20 games at Dodger Stadium. With LA 97-29 (+25.3 games on the moneyline) as a favorite of -200 (or more), we'll take David Price tonight. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Rams +9 v. Broncos | Top | 12-17 | Win | 100 | 14 h 57 m | Show |
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Rams + the points over Denver. The Rams opened up their preseason with 2 home games, and lost both. And they only scored 22 points combined in those two losses. Meanwhile, the Broncos opened up with two road games, and won two blowouts, as they scored a combined 63 points. With the Broncos now playing their first home game, and the Rams now playing their first road game, the knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the 2-0 Broncos here, at home. And it seems like that's what most bettors are doing, as this line opened at -6 and is now significantly higher. But it’s extremely dangerous to lay more than 7 points in the Preseason, as NFL teams getting 7.5 or more points have gone 40-18 ATS since 1983. Take the Rams. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Bucs -3.5 v. Texans | Top | 23-16 | Win | 100 | 13 h 53 m | Show |
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers minus the points over Houston. The defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers dropped their second straight preseason contest last week, and it was an ugly blowout loss in front of their home faithful. Tampa Bay scored just 3 points last week vs. the Tennessee Titans, and lost by 31 points. But that defeat should serve as prime motivation on Saturday vs. Houston. Indeed, when you look at how defending Super Bowl champs do in the preseason, a clear dichotomy emerges. When the defending champs are off a straight-up win, they’re a horrible 22-39-2 ATS in their next preseason game. But when the defending champs are off a straight-up loss, they’re 32-23-2 ATS. That bodes well for Tampa Bay in this game. As does the fact that NFL teams have cashed 66% in the preseason off back to back losses, if they were defeated in their previous game by 25 or more points. Take the Buccaneers. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Giants +110 v. Braves | Top | 5-0 | Win | 110 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
At 7:20 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over Atlanta. This will be Logan Webb's 19th start of the season, and the Giants have won 14 of them, including 11 of the last 12, and 5-3 (+3.8 net games) when installed as an underdog. More good news: Webb will be pitching with an extra day of rest, and San Francisco is a perfect 6-0 when he's worked with an extra day or two of rest. Finally, Webb's career ERA when starting against Atlanta is 1.50 (with a 0.66 WHIP). Take the Giants. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Brewers -144 v. Twins | Top | 4-6 | Loss | -144 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over Minnesota. This will be the fifth start for Twins lefty, Charlie Barnes, who has a 6.75 ERA over his first four trips to the mound. In his last start, he gave up 8 hits and 5 walks in 5 innings, in a 10-2 Twins loss. In contrast, Milwaukee's Adrian Houser has been on fire, with a 0.61 ERA and 0.88 WHIP over his last three outings. With Milwaukee 42-22 on the road this season (including 8-2 with Houser), we'll take the Brewers. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Blue Jays -192 v. Tigers | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over Detroit. The Tigers have been installed as a sizable home underdog this evening. Unfortunately, they're 29-62 (minus 14.2 net games) as a home underdog of +125 (or more). And they're 86-166 (minus 38.4 games) vs. righties. The Tigers will activate righty Jose Urena off the injured list today to make this start. But his stats don't inspire confidence (2-8, 6.19 ERA, 1.65 WHIP this year; 5.79 ERA last year). Take Toronto. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Royals v. Mariners -148 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -148 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over Kansas City. Seattle's lefty, Tyler Anderson, will battle fellow lefty, Daniel Lynch, in this afternoon game. Anderson faced KC earlier this season, and held the Royals to 1 run over 6 innings. He also has a 2.16 ERA over his last three starts, and has a 3.15 ERA in his eight daytime starts this season. Lynch will be making his 10th start of the season, and has a 6.48 ERA on the road, along with a 1.56 WHIP. Take Seattle. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Yankees v. A's +100 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Oakland A's over the New York Yankees. Frankie Montas will get the ball for the A's today, and will look to end his team's six-game losing streak. It will be the 26th start of the season for Montas. And he'll face New York's lefty, Nestor Cortes, who will be making his eighth start of the season. Outside of a bad start on June 21 at Texas (8 runs in 5 2/3 innings), Montas has been extremely consistent. He's allowed 3 earned runs or less in his other 13 starts since May 29, and has a 2.00 ERA over his last three outings. With the price on this game near PK'em, the value is clearly on Oakland's side here, at home, as it's 110-69 (+19.7 games on the moneyline) at home, including 42-28 (+13 net games) when priced from -125 to +125 (and Montas is 10-4 in this situation). Moreover, the A's are 74-36 (+30.3 games on the moneyline) vs. lefties, while New York is 19-26 (minus 17.4 games) in daytime action. Take the A's. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-27-21 | Yankees v. A's +133 | Top | 8-2 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 52 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Oakland A's over the New York Yankees. Last night, the Yankees won their 12th straight game, 7-6, at Oakland. We'll take the A's to bounce back tonight, as the Yankees are a wallet-busting 28-27 (but MINUS 16.7 games on the moneyline) as a road favorite priced -125 (or worse). Meanwhile, Oakland is a profitable 48-44 (but PLUS 13.9 net games) as an underdog of +150 (or less). And they're 38-23 (+12.9 net games) at home with Sean Manaea on the mound. Take the A's as a home dog. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-27-21 | Brewers -128 v. Twins | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -128 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over Minnesota. In this battle of lefties, we'll take Milwaukee's Eric Lauer on the road vs. the Twins' Andrew Albers. Milwaukee is 42-21 (+17.4 games on the moneyline) on the road this season, including 20-8 when priced -150 (or less), while the Twins are 13-28 (minus 20.5 games) vs. lefties. Take the Brewers. |
|||||||
08-27-21 | Steelers v. Panthers -3.5 | Top | 9-34 | Win | 100 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Panthers over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Panthers mustered just 3 first half points vs. Baltimore last week, and fell, 20-3, to the Ravens. They'll try to rebound tonight against a Steelers team which is 3-0 in the preseason. Pittsburgh has announced it will start 3rd string QB Dwayne Haskins. In the first three games, the Steelers showcased 2nd stringer Mason Rudolph, but neither he, nor 1st string QB Ben Roethlisberger, will play tonight in the finale. And the Steelers will also sit top RB Najee Harris, so Benny Snell will get an extended look this evening. On the Carolina side, first string QB Sam Darnold will suit up for this game, and should play at least the first half, along with most of the starters (though not RB Christian McCaffrey). We'll lay the points with the Panthers, as they're 8-2 ATS in the preseason off a loss. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-27-21 | Blue Jays -160 v. Tigers | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -160 | 12 h 23 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Detroit Tigers. Southpaw Steven Matz will get a second crack at the Tigers after facing them last week in a 5-3 loss. Still, Matz pitched very well, as he gave up just 1 run over 6 innings. And he's allowed just 3 earned runs over his last four games (1.24 ERA). He'll face Detroit's righty, Matt Manning, who has a 6.75 ERA over his last three starts, and a 5.90 ERA on the season. That bodes well for Toronto, which is 21-6 vs. AL starting pitchers with an ERA of 5.90 (or worse). Take Toronto. |
|||||||
08-26-21 | Dodgers v. Padres +130 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 5 m | Show |
At 9:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Los Angeles Dodgers. We played on the Padres last night, and lost, 5-3, in extra innings (at 16 innings, it was the longest game played in the current extra innings format). Tonight, it will be a match-up between Max Scherzer and Yu Darvish. We'll take the Padres as a home underdog, as Darvish is 2-1 with a 1.33 ERA and 0.59 WHIP vs. Los Angeles in his career. And when these two pitchers matched up here in San Diego last month (when Scherzer was with Washington), the Padres rocked Scherzer for 7 runs in 3 2/3 innings. Take Darvish and the Padres. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-26-21 | Diamondbacks v. Phillies -153 | Top | 8-7 | Loss | -153 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Zach Eflin was a first round draft pick of the San Diego Padres out of High School in 2012 . He made it to the Majors four years later at the age of 22 and the fact that he hasn't fulfilled the potential of a 1st rounder certainly isn't too surprising. Injuries have been the biggest obstacle for the now 27-year-old RHP. Eflin has never stayed healthy enough to make 30 starts in a season and this year is no exception as Eflin already spent one stint on the IL with tendinitis in his knee. His numbers certainly don't jump off the page at you -- a 4-7 record with a 4.17 ERA in 18 starts covering 105 2/3 innings -- but one thing that does get your attention is how well Eflin has pitched at home. In eight starts at Citizens Bank Park, he is 2-2 with a 3.02 ERA vs. just 2-5 and 5.12 in 10 starts on the road. He's back home tonight to face the worst team in the NL and a starter -- Zac Gallen - who has lost his last seven decisions, and is 1-7 in 16 starts. Even worse: Arizona is 1-12 the last 13 times he's taken the mound. And the D-Backs are 7-41 in their last 48 road games. Take the Phils. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-25-21 | Dodgers v. Padres +134 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 36 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Los Angeles Dodgers. In his last start, former Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell took the loss vs. Philly, but pitched relatively well. Indeed, over his four August starts, the San Diego southpaw struck out at least six in each game, and hasn't allowed more than 3 runs in any of them, for a 2.45 ERA. Moreover, he's been very effective vs. the Dodgers this season. In three starts, Snell's allowed just 4 runs over 15 1/3 innings (2.34 ERA), including 5 innings of scoreless ball his last time out vs. Los Angeles. Finally, over the last three seasons, Los Angeles has dominated right-handed starters (171-85 (+29.7 games on the moneyline), but is unprofitable vs. lefties. Take San Diego. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-25-21 | White Sox v. Blue Jays -117 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over Chicago. Lefty Robbie Ray will take the mound for the Jays on Wednesday, and he has given up 2 earned runs or less in eight of his last nine starts, covering 58 2-3 innings (1.84 ERA). Even better: in those nine games, Ray has struck out 65, while he's walked just 15, and allowed just 38 hits (0.90 WHIP). In his last start against Chicago, back in early June, he struck out a season-high 13 batters (against 0 walks), and he allowed just 1 run over 6 1-3 innings. Take the Blue Jays. |
|||||||
08-25-21 | Rays v. Phillies -135 | Top | 7-4 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Tampa Bay Rays. This series represents a repeat of the 2008 World Series, won by the Phillies. They were the better team that year for sure, but the Rays might just be better than them in 2021 and almost certainly have a better chance of getting back to the Fall Classic as of this writing. Zack Wheeler will go in his 26th start of the season for the home team tonight. The 31-year-old RHP is having his best season in the Majors with a 10-8 record, a 2.77 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and a league-leading three complete games (two shutouts) and 194 strikeouts. And Wheeler was named an All Star for the first time in his seven campaigns in the Majors. In two previous starts vs. AL teams in 2021, Wheeler is 1-0 with a 2.51 ERA and 0.70 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and seven hits allowed in 14 1/3 innings. Finally, the Rays are only 4-7 in the last 11 meetings with the Phillies here at Citizens Bank Park. Take Philadelphia. |
|||||||
08-24-21 | Royals v. Astros -230 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Kansas City Royals. Luis Garcia is a second-year rookie starter for the Astros who is quietly making a case for AL Rookie of the Year consideration. In 23 games -- including 21 starts -- the 24-year-old RH is is 9-6 with a 3.39 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 137 strikeouts in just under 117 innings. Those are very solid numbers for someone who is no better than a number three starter for his team. Start number 22 will come tonight and it will be his second straight outing vs. the Royals. The key to tonight's start however is that it will be at home, as he faced them in Kansas City in his last start last Thursday. In 12 games here at Minute Maid Park (10 starts), Garcia is 5-3 with a 2.02 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 62 1/3 innings. In 11 starts on the road, he is 4-3 with a 3.97 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 54 1/3 innings. Houston is 12-6 its last 18 vs. KC, and is 12-4 in Garcia's last 16 starts going back to May 15. And Houston is a perfect 7-0 with Garcia at home when the total was less than 9 runs. Meanwhile, the Royals are 8-14 (minus 4.9 games on the moneyline) off a win by more than 5 runs, and 30-46 (minus 7.4 games) after not allowing 3+ runs. Take the Astros. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

08-24-21 | White Sox +117 v. Blue Jays | Top | 5-2 | Win | 117 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Toronto Blue Jays. By now, the White Sox's Dylan Cease's road struggles this season are well documented. In 13 starts at home, the 25-year-old is 4-2 with a 2.61 ERA. However, in 12 road starts he is just 4-4 with a 5.68 number. But the 25-year-old RH has shown great improvement in his recent road starts which must give him -- and his team -- confidence heading into the stretch drive and a likely extended post-season run. In his last three starts away from Chicago, Cease has allowed seven earned runs on 13 hits in 16 innings for a 3.93 ERA. He'll look to extend that road success tonight in his 26th start of the season in Toronto. It will be his first career start vs. the Blue Jays. Despite their difficult 2-1 loss last night, the Sox are 9-5 in the last 14 games here at the Rogers Centre, while Toronto's 98-120 (minus 23.1 games) at night, and 79-87 (minus 16.6 games) off a win. The Jays will go with recently-acquired RHP Jose Berrios (from the Twins). Berrios' teams are just 3-9 (-10 games on the moneyline) in his last 12 starts as a home favorite of -125 to -175. Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-23-21 | Royals v. Astros -229 | Top | 7-1 | Loss | -229 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Kansas City Royals. "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" is a popular misquote attributed to Mark Twain but it could just as easily apply to the Astros' Zack Greinke. The 37-year-old RHP was once considered one of the best pitchers in the game, but he is little more than an afterthought these days, which does not do him justice. Sure, his Cy Young days are behind him, but Greinke is still capable of pitching like an ace and he's doing just that this season with the first-place Astros. Hard to believe, but Greinke was not an All Star last month and now six starts into the second half, he is sitting with an 11-3 record and 3.43 ERA in a league-leading 25 starts covering just under 150 innings. The fact that he is flying under the radar this season is likely just fine with the former Royal as he faces his old team tonight. In six career starts vs. the Royals covering 37 innings, Greinke has a 2.68 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Kansas City is also 5-12 in the last 17 meetings with the 'Stros. Take Houston. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-23-21 | Rangers v. Red Sox -288 | Top | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 5 h 20 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over the Texas Rangers. The Red Sox needed a break after going 6-16 in their last 22 games and they got one courtesy of Mother Nature. Tropical Storm Henri hit the northeast coast on Sunday and that postponed Boston's final game with the Rangers. The one-game delay allows the Sox to send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound in the series finale today on extra rest. The pitching matchup at Fenway Park this afternoon favors Boston, as Texas will hand the ball to southpaw Kolby Allard. Boston desperately needs a win after falling seven games behind the Rays and now locked in a close battle with the A's for the final Wild Card spot. Eovaldi is 10-8 with a 3.91 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 24 starts covering 138 innings. He also leads the league with the lowest HR rate allowed at 0.7 -- something that might come in handy against the free-swinging Rangers. In his career vs. Texas, Eovaldi has a 2.50 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP, which greatly compares to Allard's career 15.00 ERA vs. Boston. Even better: Texas has won just 6 of 31 daytime road games this season, while Boston is an awesome 291-94 (+62 games on the moneyline) as a home favorite of -200 (or higher). Finally, Texas has been solid this season vs. lefties (22-27, PLUS 5.8 GAMES on the moneyline), but horrible vs. righties (21-53, minus 26.5 games on the moneyline). Take Boston. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco 49ers minus the points over the Los Angeles Chargers. Last week, the 49ers were upset at home, 19-16, by Kansas City, while the Chargers won at the Rams, 13-6, as a 3.5-point favorite. Dating back to 1989, NFL teams (like the 49ers) off home upset defeats have covered 79% vs. foes off a SU/ATS win as a road favorite. That bodes well for San Francisco tonight. As does the fact that road teams have been dominant this preseason, as they've gone 21-7 ATS, including a perfect 8-0 ATS when favored by 6 or less. Finally, the Chargers are an awful 4-11 ATS as a home underdog, while the Niners are 9-1 on the road off a SU/ATS home loss. Take San Francisco minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-22-21 | Giants v. A's -108 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Oakland Athletics over the San Francisco Giants. This afternoon represents the rubber game in the latest battle for bragging rights in the Bay Area. The A's took Game 1 of this series on Friday and then the Giants responded yesterday, scoring two in the top of the ninth for a 6-5 road victory. Frankie Montas gets the call today for the home team. The 28-year-old has had a very nice bounce-back campaign in 2021 after stinking things up in the shortened 2020 season (3-5 with a 5.60 ERA in 11 starts). In 24 starts this season, Montas is 9-9 with a 4.04 ERA in 136 innings. This will be Montas' second career start vs. the Giants as he pitched well in a no-decision on June 21 of this season. The A's have won three of Montas' last four starts and he has done his best work this season in day games going 3-2 with a 3.40 ERA in seven afternoon starts vs. just 6-7 and 4.30 in 17 under the lights. Despite their win last night, the Giants are 4-7 in the last 11 meetings with the A's. Take Oakland. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

08-22-21 | Pirates v. Cardinals -205 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
At 2:15 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Cardinals over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cards' Adam Wainwright has dominated Pittsburgh in his career. In 45 games -- including 39 starts -- covering just over 250 innings vs. the Bucs, Wainwright has a record of 19-7. He'll be going for victory number 20 against them this afternoon. He's also going to try to prevent what would be an embarrassing three-game sweep at the hands of one of the worst teams in the league at home as the Pirates took both Friday's and Saturday's contests. Wainwright has been one of a very few bright spots for a 2021 Cards team that most people made the favorite to win the NL Central. The 39-year-old RHP is 11-7 with a 3.26 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 24 starts covering 154 2/3 innings and he leads the league in complete games (3). The Cards have won Wainwright's last six starts vs. Pittsburgh going back to July 2019. Take St. Louis. |

08-22-21 | Giants +5 v. Browns | Top | 13-17 | Win | 100 | 31 h 54 m | Show |
At 1 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the New York Giants + the points over the Cleveland Browns. The Giants lost, 12-7, last week to their rival, the New York Jets. But I love the Giants to bounce back today vs. a Cleveland team off an upset win, 23-13, over Jacksonville. For technical support, consider that, through Friday's action, NFL preseason underdogs have gone 17-0-1 ATS their last 18 if they gave up 13.5 (or less) points per game. And NFL preseason favorites of more than 4 points off an upset road win have covered just 36% since 1983 vs. foes off a SU loss. The Browns are 2-8 ATS in the preseason off a double-digit win, while the Giants are 23-13-2 ATS as an underdog away from home, if they didn't own a winning record. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Broncos v. Seahawks +5 | Top | 30-3 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 57 m | Show |
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Seahawks + the points over the Denver Broncos. Seattle was blitzed, 20-7, last week by the Raiders, while Denver drilled Minnesota, 33-6. The knee-jerk reaction might be to play on the Broncos tonight. But dating back to 1991, underdogs off a double-digit loss have covered 61.8% in the preseason vs. foes off a double-digit win. Moreover, NFL favorites of -4.5 (or more) points have covered just 30.4% in the preseason off a 20-point (or greater) win. Take Seattle + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Raiders v. Rams +6.5 | Top | 17-16 | Win | 100 | 16 h 57 m | Show |
At 10 pm our selection is on the Los Angeles Rams + the points over the Las Vegas Raiders. Last week, the Rams sat 38 players, and lost, 13-6, at home to the cross-town Chargers. One of the things I like to do in the preseason is play on home dogs to rebound off home SU/ATS losses, as they've covered 78% the past 22 seasons. That bodes well for the Rams tonight. As does the fact that preseason underdogs with a defensive ppg average of 13.5 (or less) points are 17-0-1 ATS their last 18. Take Los Angeles + the points. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Phillies v. Padres -157 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Philadelphia Phillies. There's no question that Aaron Nola is the ace of the Phillies staff. But when you're an ace on a team vying for a Division Title, you better pitch like one. And Nola hasn't exactly been doing that lately. Nola looked like he might be breaking out of his funk with two very strong starts to end the month of July. But August has seen a return to mediocrity for the 28-year-old RHP and now the Phillies have surrendered the NL East lead to the red-hot Braves. Veteran righty Joe Musgrove gets the ball for Jayce Tingler's Padres tonight, and his career ERA vs. Philly is 1.50. Even better: in 12 home starts this season, Musgrove has a 2.43 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP, while Nola's road ERA in 13 starts is 5.56. Take San Diego. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Ravens v. Panthers +3.5 | Top | 20-3 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 56 m | Show |
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Carolina Panthers + the points over the Baltimore Ravens. Last week, the Ravens won their 18th straight preseason game, 17-14, over New Orleans. That fact will keep many bettors off the Panthers side today, but not me. Indeed, what was more interesting to me was that the Ravens were out-yarded by the Saints, but benefited greatly from six New Orleans' turnovers (3 fumbles, 3 interceptions). Yet, even with those miscues, the Saints only trailed for 9 min 13 secs of the game. Here, the Ravens will take on a Carolina team which lost, 21-18, last week to the Colts. But the Panthers only trailed for seven seconds of that game. There's way too much value on the Carolina side tonight, as a home underdog. Take the points. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Jets v. Packers +2.5 | Top | 23-14 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
At 4:25 pm, on the NFL Network, our selection is on the Green Bay Packers + the points over the New York Jets. Both Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers will miss this preseason game, which means ex-Atlanta Falcons QB Kurt Benkert will lead the way for Green Bay. On the other sideline, it will be ex-BYU QB Zach Wilson at the helm. Notwithstanding the absence of their top 2 signal callers, there's still a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball for Matt LeFleur's Packers. And it's hard to pass up Green Bay as a home underdog, given how disappointing it played last week vs. Houston. The Texans upset the Packers, 26-7, as a 3-point road underdog. But preseason home dogs have generally bounced back off home SU/ATS losses, as they've cashed 78% over the last 22 years. Even better: the Packers are 34-17 ATS their last 51 preseason home games. Take the Packers + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Mariners +140 v. Astros | Top | 1-15 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 0 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over Houston. Logan Gilbert has been the 2nd most profitable pitcher in baseball this season (from a betting perspective), as the Mariners are 11-5 in his 16 starts (+9.2 games on the moneyline). Jake Odorizzi, on the other hand, has not rewarded his backers, as he is 7-9, minus 3.9 games on the moneyline this season. For the season, the Astros' righty has an ERA north of five runs a game, while his ERA over his last three starts is 6.75. Take Seattle as a road underdog. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Nationals v. Brewers -210 | Top | 6-9 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Washington Nationals. The Brewers have been dominant over the years as a big favorite, as they're now 73-18 (+32.1 games on the moneyline) when priced at -200 (or more). They'll hand the ball to lefty Eric Lauer this afternoon. And he's been on fire of late, as he's given up just 3 earned runs over his last six starts (0.83 ERA; 0.89 WHIP). In stark contrast, Washington's Paolo Espino's ERA over his last three starts is 10.80, with a 2.10 WHIP. And his season ERA in his road starts is 6.51. Take Milwaukee. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Tigers v. Blue Jays -240 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over Detroit. Wily Peralta has been installed as a big underdog this afternoon, which does not bode well for the Tigers, as his teams are 1-12 with him on the mound, when priced from +175 to +250. Meanwhile, the Jays are 12-3 their last 15 as a home favorite of -200 (or more), and 29-15 (+9.8 games on the moneyline) in day games this season. Finally, Hyun-Jin Ryu's teams are 11-0 their last 11 as a home favorite of -200 (or more) in his starts. Take Toronto. |
|||||||
08-21-21 | White Sox v. Rays -127 | Top | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Chicago White Sox. Last night, the Rays' 4-game win streak was snapped, as they lost in extra inning to the ChiSox. But we'll take Tampa to bounce back this afternoon, as Chicago's Dallas Keuchel owns a 2-5 record in his nine starts vs. Tampa (his teams are 3-6). Even worse for Keuchel: he has a 4.84 ERA on the road this season, and a 5.51 ERA in his daytime starts. In contrast, Luis Patino's home ERA is 2.04, while his ERA in daytime games is 1.54. Take Tampa. |
|||||||
08-20-21 | Phillies v. Padres -195 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -195 | 18 h 32 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Philadelphia Phillies. It's a battle of southpaws tonight, as Blake Snell will face Matt Moore. We'll take San Diego's former Cy Young Award winner, as he's been pitching very well of late. In his last three starts, Snell as a 1.59 ERA, and he's struck out 25 against just 14 hits and eight walks. Snell's done his best work at home this season, as he has a 2.40 ERA here, in San Diego. Meanwhile, the Phillies hurler has a 6.75 ERA over his last three starts, and owns a 7.36 career ERA vs. the Padres. Finally, the Phils are a dreadful 36-59 as a road underdog (minus 11.7 games on the moneyline), while Snell's teams are 42-20 (+15.8 games) in his home starts, including 21-5 when priced at -150 (or more). Take San Diego. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-20-21 | Nationals v. Brewers -230 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -230 | 16 h 32 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Milwaukee Brewers over the Washington Nationals. What the Brewers have done this season is pretty remarkable -- they lead their division by almost 10 games -- especially given the fact that few people expected them to be contenders. And this performance is even more remarkable when you consider that their best offensive player -- OF Christian Yelich -- has been underperforming most of the season and really hasn't contributed much at all. The 2018 NL MVP is batting just .232 with six home runs, 32 RBI and a .734 OPS. Speaking of under-achievers, the Nats have had almost too many to mention this season which led to their decision to pretty much dismantle the team at the trade deadline. LHP Brett Anderson will go for the Brew Crew tonight. And, although not pitching as well as Milwaukee's three aces, the 33-year-old has been more than serviceable at the back end of the rotation with a 4.09 ERA in 18 starts. The Nats are 3-8 in the last 11 meetings, and 1-6 in the last seven here in Milwaukee. Take the Brewers. |

08-20-21 | White Sox -120 v. Rays | Top | 7-5 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Tampa Bay Rays come into this match-up of first place teams having won four games in a row and putting some distance between themselves and the rest of the AL East. But that four-game sweep was at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles, so things will get exponentially harder here in this series against the White Sox. For starters, there's no pitcher in the Orioles rotation close to the talent level of Sox ace Lucas Giolito. Sure, at 9-9 and 3.83 ERA through 24 starts, you could call this season a bit of a disappointment for the 27-year-old RHP, but Giolito is still capable of tossing a gem on any given start. Giolito's ERA is slightly higher on the road this season (3.90 vs. 3.77). But he has a winning record away from Chicago (5-3) compared to 4-6 in his 12 home starts. Even better, in two career starts at Tropicana Field, covering 13 2/3 innings, Giolito has a 1.32 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. And the Sox are 5-1 in the last six meetings here in St. Pete. Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-20-21 | Tigers v. Blue Jays -250 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -250 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Detroit Tigers. From the time Robbie Ray came into the league, baseball people would say, "if he could only fix his control issues..." The hard-throwing southpaw's walk rate over the last three seasons heading into 2021 had been 5.1 (2018), 4.3 (2019), and 7.8 (2020). But 2021 has finally seen a breakthrough. The now-29-year-old has a walk rate this season of 2.4, And as a result, Ray is enjoying his best campaign since his 2017 All Star season. In 23 starts covering just over 137 innings, Ray is 9-5 with a 2.88 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. This will be only Ray's second career start vs. the Tigers who are just 33-77 in their last 110 road games vs. winning teams. Meanwhile, the Jays are 21-5 in their last 26 home games vs. teams with losing records. Finally, Detroit is just 6-14 in the last 20 meetings in Toronto. Take the Blue Jays. |

08-19-21 | Patriots v. Eagles +1.5 | Top | 35-0 | Loss | -109 | 37 h 55 m | Show |
At 7:30 pm, on Thursday, our selection is on the Philadelphia Eagles + the points over the New England Patriots. In Week 1, Bill Belichick's men rolled over Washington at Foxborough, 22-13, as a 2-point home favorite. Meanwhile, the Eagles were upset here, at home, last week by Pittsburgh. Philly was favored by 1 point, but lost, 24-16. But I love the Eagles to bounce back in this 2nd straight game before their home faithful. Indeed, since 1986, home teams have cashed 72.2% following an upset home loss to open the preseason, if their opponent was off a win. Even better: New England is a wallet-busting 0-8 ATS as a preseason road favorite (or PK) since 2006. Take the Eagles. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |
|||||||
08-19-21 | Marlins v. Reds -250 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Reds over the Miami Marlins. Tonight begins a four-game set between the Marlins and Reds in Cincinnati and the question for Game 1 is "which version of Luis Castillo will show up?" Will it be the one who went 4-0 with a 1.75 ERA in a stretch of eight starts between June 26 and August 4? Or will it be the pitcher who's gone 0-2 with a 9.90 ERA in his last two starts (against the Indians and Phillies). I'm betting it will be the first version for a very simple reason. Those last two starts were on the road, but Castillo is back home tonight at Great American Park where he has done by far his best work this season. In 12 starts here, the 28-year-old RH is 4-5 with a 3.72 ERA vs. just 2-7 and 5.27 in 13 starts on the road. Moreover, in four career starts vs. Miami, covering 29 1/3 innings, Castillo is 3-0 with a sparkling 1.84 ERA and 0.75 WHIP. Miami is also 2-5 in the last seven meetings here in Cincinnati. Take the Reds. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

08-19-21 | Phillies -190 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -190 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
At 3:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Arizona Diamondbacks. We played on the Phillies last night, and lost a 4-2 decision. But we will come right back with them this afternoon in this "Getaway Day" game. Zack Wheeler gets the start for the Phils, and he's been terrific all season. In 2021, he has a 2.56 ERA and a sparkling 0.98 WHIP in 24 starts. Even better: in his seven career starts vs. Arizona, he is 4-1 with a 2.58 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. The Phillies are a solid 28-16 (+13.5 games on the moneyline) in daytime action this season, while Arizona is a wallet-busting 11-28 in day games. Take the Phillies. |
|||||||
08-19-21 | A's +155 v. White Sox | Top | 5-4 | Win | 155 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Oakland Athletics over the Chicago White Sox. You can add Cole Irvin's name to the list of pitchers who the Oakland A's have resurrected off the Major League scrap heap and turned into serviceable starters. Sure, Irvin's 8-11 record and 3.52 ERA in 23 starts may not sound like the stuff of aces, but for a back-end starter, who showed nothing of the sort in his first two seasons in the league (with the Phillies), his numbers this year look pretty darn good. And Irvin has performed better this season both on the road (3.30 ERA in 11 starts) and at night (3.27 ERA) than he has at home, and during the day. This will be Irvin's first-ever start against the Sox, and hence his first start at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Sox will go with RH Dylan Cease, who earned a no-decision last weekend vs. the Yankees. The A's are 8-3 in their last 11 games vs. a RH starter, and 42-15 vs. their last 57 vs. AL Central foes. Take Oakland. |

08-18-21 | Phillies -164 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -164 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Last night, the D-Backs won 3-2, behind five strong innings (1 ER, 5K) from Taylor Widener, and a big night at the plate by Josh Vanmeter. Tonight, it will be the Venezuelan lefty, Ranger Suarez, battling Arizona's Humberto Castellanos. Suarez has been terrific all season, as his ERA is 1.07 across 50 1/3 innings, spanning 30 games. And in his three starts this season, Suarez has a sparkling 0.90 ERA, with an 0.90 WHIP. The Diamondbacks have been especially bad this season vs. lefties (8-23, minus 11.6 games on the moneyline), and as an underdog (28-71, minus 29 games). Take Philadelphia with Suarez. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-18-21 | Blue Jays -165 v. Nationals | Top | 5-8 | Loss | -165 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Washington Nationals. This series marks only the second time that the Blue Jays have visited DC since 2015. Toronto has had success here, and it needs some of that success in this series because the Jays are falling further behind in the race for the AL East title (not to mention a Wild Card spot). To shore up their pitching, the Jays acquired RHP Jose Berrios from the Twins at the trade deadline and he's been just okay for his new team so far. In three Toronto starts, the 27-year-old is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in 16 1/3 innings. The good news is that today offers two situations that have favored Berrios in the past. First, in 53 daytime, starts Berrios' record is 26-15, for a winning percentage of .634 (vs. 30-29; .508 in 85 nighttime starts). Second, this is an inter-league match-up and Berrios does well in those too, with a 3.38 ERA in 21 starts covering 120 innings in outings vs. the American League. Despite last night's win (which snapped a 7-game losing streak), the Nationals are still just 11-30 their last 41 games, 5-18 this year as a home underdog, and 4-8 in the last 12 meetings with the Blue Jays. Take Toronto. As always, good luck...Al McMordie

08-17-21 | Mariners -148 v. Rangers | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 28 m | Show |
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Texas Rangers. The Mariners looked at LHP Tyler Anderson last month and -- notwithstanding his 5-8 record and 4.35 ERA for the Pittsburgh Pirates -- liked what they saw. So, Seattle exchanged a pair of nondescript minor-league players for Anderson and has been rewarded. In three starts so far with Seattle, Anderson has compiled a 3.45 ERA, and he has 11 strikeouts and two walks in 15 2/3 innings. The only thing missing in his first stint in the American League is a winning decision. His last start was against this Rangers club and, although he came away with another no decision, the Mariners won that one by a 2-1 score. Texas has cleaned house (no Elvis Andrus, Joey Gallo, etc) and the result is one of the weakest offenses in the league. The Mariners are 17-6 in the last 23 meetings with Rangers, while Texas is 2-9 in its last 11 games following a win. Take Seattle. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-16-21 | Orioles v. Rays -250 | Top | 2-9 | Win | 100 | 16 h 7 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Baltimore Orioles. With about seven weeks to go in the regular season, the low-budget Rays have a healthy three-game lead in the AL East over the Red Sox. With seven games against Orioles left on the schedule (as well as seven games against the Tigers), this four-game set at home is the type of series which the Rays really need to take advantage of, if they are to seal the deal come October 3. The O's are headed for their third straight 100-loss season (ignoring the short 2020 season). And barring some major changes in the off-season, there's a good chance that 2022 won't be much different. Seemingly out of nowhere, Baltimore RH Matt Harvey had three straight quality starts to end the month of July. But August has seen a return to (mediocre) form for the 32-year-old pitcher who comes into tonight with a 6-11 record, and 6.10 ERA, in 23 starts covering 103 1/3 innings. The O's are 16-37 in the last 53 meetings with the Rays and 6-26 in the last 32 here in St. Pete. Meanwhile, Collin McHugh's teams are 14-3 (+8.6 games on the moneyline) in his career when favored at home by -150 (or more). Take Tampa. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

08-15-21 | Dodgers v. Mets +163 | Top | 14-4 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 3 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Mets over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mets and Carlos Carrasco have been installed as a huge home underdog tonight. I have all the respect in the world for Max Scherzer and the Dodgers, but I can't pass up this big price on Carrasco, and especially not at home where the Mets have a 36-22 record, plus 5 games on the moneyline (compared to 23-35 on the road, minus 14.7 games on the moneyline). The Mets are 14-8 this season vs. the NL West, and 46-33 vs. righties. And this will be the first time the Dodgers have faced Carrasco, which I believe confers an advantage to the pitcher. Take the Mets as a huge home dog. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-15-21 | Padres -152 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 8-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 1 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Craig Stammen began life in the Major Leagues as a starter. In his first season with the Nationals in 2009, Stammen appeared in 19 games -- all as a starter. In the next season, 19 of Stammen's 35 appearances were as a starter. But after a transition to the bullpen later in 2010, Stammen became one of the most reliable middle relievers in the game and pretty much stayed that way through the first half of 2021. But the Padres have been playing around with the strategy of using an opener and Stammen looks like the go-to guy for that as he's had two short starts this season (June 29 and August 10). He'll do it again this afternoon after his team was no-hit last night by Tyler Gilbert in his first Major League start playing for one of the worst teams in the league. Despite their spectacular victory last night, the Diamondbacks are still just 12-45 in their last 57 games vs. teams with a winning record. Take the Padres. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-15-21 | Rockies v. Giants -187 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the San Francisco Giants over the Colorado Rockies. Last night, the Rockies won a rare game as a road underdog, while the Giants lost a rare game as a home favorite this season. Notwithstanding that defeat, Gabe Kapler's Giants are still 33-12 as a home favorite this year, while Colorado is a horrid 13-42 as a road underdog. The matchup this afternoon will feature the Rockies' Jon Gray vs. San Francisco's southpaw, Alex Wood. Unfortunately for Colorado, Gray is 2-6 in his career vs. SF, with a 5.86 ERA. Meanwhile, San Francisco has won Wood's last four starts, and nine of his last 11. Take the Giants. |

08-15-21 | Rays -168 v. Twins | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -168 | 3 h 20 m | Show |
At 2:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Minnesota Twins. Luis Patino was the main prize for the Rays in the trade that sent Blake Snell to the Padres. Patino finds himself in a Major League rotation at just 21 years of age as the Rays have given him eight starts since he came over (Patino also had a start for the Padres last season). After facing teams like the Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays, Mariners, and Indians in his last five starts, Patino gets some relief this afternoon as he goes up against an inferior Twins lineup. Most important, the Rays are 3-1 in Patino's last four starts with big wins against Boston, New York, and Cleveland. Patino has never faced the Twins before so don't be surprised if he finds Target Field very much to his liking today. Despite their loss last night, the Rays are 25-9 in their last 34 games vs. teams with a losing record and 17-6 in their last 23 vs. AL Central clubs. Take the Rays. |

08-15-21 | Reds +124 v. Phillies | Top | 7-4 | Win | 124 | 2 h 57 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Reds over the Philadelphia Phillies. Sonny Gray has been pitching much better recently than his 4-6 record and 4.40 ERA would seem to indicate. Over the last three starts, Gray is 2-0 with a 3.94 ERA in 16 innings. The other thing about Gray is that he has a very strong road bias (he probably wishes it was a home bias instead). In 10 starts at Great American, the 31-year-old is 1-4 with a 5.44 ERA however in seven starts on the road, Gray's numbers look much better at 3-2 and 3.08. Another thing about today's start is that it's a major revenge situation for him. In his last start vs. today's opponents on June 1, Gray lasted just 4 2/3 innings in a 17-3 beatdown administered by the Phillies. Prior to that one however, the Reds had won both of Gray's starts vs. the Phils (both in 2019). Through his career, Gray has done his best work in daytime games. In 78 day games (74 starts) he is 30-23 with a 3.34 number. Take Cincy. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-14-21 | Blue Jays -148 v. Mariners | Top | 3-9 | Loss | -148 | 17 h 22 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Seattle Mariners. Hyun Jin Ryu has been one of the most consistent starters in the Majors since he came into the league back in 2013. That's why it's always surprising when he throws in a real clunker -- as he did in his last start. On August 8, Ryu lasted only 3 2/3 innings (his shortest outing of the season) while allowing seven runs on 10 hits. Two things about that one however: first, it was against one of the best lineups in baseball in the Red Sox, and second, the Blue Jays won anyway, 9-8. In fact the Jays have won each of Ryu's last six starts going back to July 7. The veteran LH is in a great position to bounce back from that last start tonight against the Mariners. Seattle has the lowest batting average in the American League vs. southpaws at .224 and the second lowest OBP at .294. Meanwhile, the Jays have some of the best team numbers against lefties and they get to face one as well in Yusei Kikuchi. Seattle is 1-6 in its last seven games vs. southpaw starters. Take Toronto. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-14-21 | Yankees +117 v. White Sox | Top | 7-5 | Win | 117 | 14 h 21 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Chicago White Sox. It's back to reality tonight for these two teams. After a special game on Thursday night played at the Field of Dreams complex in Dyersville, Iowa (the first of what may be many MLB contests there), the Yanks and White Sox had the day off on Friday. Thursday's game was not only historic, it was also exciting (especially for us, as we had Chicago as our MLB Game of the Month). In a "made for TV" moment, the Sox won 9-8 in the bottom of the ninth by way of a walk-off home run by Tim Anderson (they may have to move the fences -- and cornfields -- back in that ballpark before the next game there). Tonight these two teams are back to Chicago for Game 2 of this series as RHs Jameson Taillon and Dylan Cease face off on the mound. Taillon is 7-4 with a 3.82 ERA in 22 starts in his first season in pinstripes, and his teams are 15-5 in his 20 starts vs. winning opposition. In two career starts vs. the Sox, Taillon has a 1.69 ERA in 13 2/3 innings and he looks to continue that success tonight. Cease's only previous start vs. the Yanks was earlier this year when he allowed five runs in 4 1/3 innings in a 7-0 Chicago loss. Chicago has been great against lefties the past two seasons (38-14), but pedestrian vs. righties. And Chicago's also burned money vs. the better teams, with win percentages between .540 and .620, as it's 17-29 (minus 14.3 games on the moneyline). Meanwhile, the Yankees excel against the best clubs, as they're 36-17 (+19.2 games) vs. teams that outscore their opponents by 1+ runs per game. Take New York. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-14-21 | Dodgers v. Mets +168 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 20 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the New York Mets over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Taijuan Walker looked like an All Star during the first half of this season. And in fact, when Jacob deGrom couldn't go to the game, he lobbied for his teammate and Walker found himself at the mid-summer Classic last month for the first time. With or without deGrom's help, Walker deserved to be there on the strength of his numbers (7-3 with a 2.50 ERA in 16 first-half starts). But since then, the wheels have not only come off, they're gone careening down the freeway. Since the break, the 29-year-old RH is 0-4 with a 9.86 ERA in five starts. But injuries had something to do with those numbers as Walker tried to pitch through some arm issues. Those appear to be behind him now and his last start was better (three runs on four hits in six IP). It's no easy task facing the Dodgers but Walker has had some good results against them in the past. He owns a career 3-1 record and his teams (Seattle and Arizona) are 5-2 in his last seven starts vs. Los Angeles. Even better: Walker's teams are 12-4 in his career when priced as a home underdog, while the Dodgers have won just two of Buehler's 10 road starts vs. teams from the NL East. Take the Mets. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

08-13-21 | Braves -180 v. Nationals | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
At 7:05 pm, our selection is on the Atlanta Braves over the Washington Nationals. With Trea Turner, Max Scherzer, Daniel Hudson, Josh Harrison, and Yan Gomes all moved at the trading deadline, the Nats figure to face some very long days coming up. In fact, with the total house-cleaning that DC has undergone, don't be surprised if it has one of the worst second-half records when all is said and done. The Braves seem to be moving in the opposite direction, finally putting up a winning record after spending almost the entire first half under the .500 mark. Charlie Morton goes to the mound tonight for the visitors. In 23 starts, the 37-year-old RHP is 10-4 with a 3.52 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 128 innings. This will be his third start of the season vs. the Nats. In two starts vs. DC (May 31 and August 7), Morton is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in 11 innings. This season Morton has done his best work on the road, with a 3.10 ERA in nine road starts. The Braves are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings against the Nats and 5-0 in the last five here at Nationals Park. Take Atlanta. |

08-13-21 | Blue Jays -170 v. Mariners | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -170 | 16 h 3 m | Show |
At 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Toronto Blue Jays over the Seattle Mariners. This is a rematch of the game played back on June 29 between these teams. Toronto won that game, 9-3, behind 6 solid innings from lefty Robbie Ray, who struck out 10 Mariners, and gave up just 5 hits. Chris Flexen was less effective, as he gave up 3 runs and 7 hits over 5 innings. We'll take the Jays and Ray tonight, as Ray has given up just 9 runs in his last 7 starts, covering 43 2/3 innings (1.85 ERA; 0.96 WHIP). Meanwhile, Flexen has been trending in the opposite direction, as his ERA over his last three starts is an ugly 6.89, with a 1.72 WHIP. The Blue Jays are a solid 19-9 as a road favorite of -125 (or more), while Robbie Ray's teams are 23-13 (+5.6 games on the moneyline) in his career when priced as a road favorite. Finally, the Mariners are a wallet-busting 46-69 (minus 10 games on the moneyline) vs. lefties. Take Toronto. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-13-21 | Cowboys +1.5 v. Cardinals | Top | 16-19 | Loss | -107 | 67 h 23 m | Show |
At 10 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Dallas Cowboys + the points over the Arizona Cardinals. The Cowboys opened their preseason slate last week vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Hall of Fame Game, in Canton, Ohio. Dallas lost that game, 16-3. But the Cowboys only had four projected starters in uniform, so take that performance with a boulder of salt. Still, if there was a silver lining in that Hall of Fame Game, it was that the Cowboys outyarded the Steelers, 347-250, and also bettered them in yards per play (5.1 to 4.2). But a -2 turnover differential spelled doom for Mike McCarthy's men. We'll take the Cowboys to bounce back at Arizona on Friday night, as NFL underdogs playing away from home, that also lost away from home the previous week, have cashed 58% over the previous 37 Preseasons when playing an opponent that wasn't off a SU loss. Take Dallas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-13-21 | Orioles v. Red Sox -225 | Top | 1-8 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over the Baltimore Orioles. The Red Sox will get a boost this weekend with the expected return of ace Chris Sale to the mound. The fact that the Sox have managed to stay this competitive in the AL East without Sale this season is a testament to the rest of the pitching staff. No one exemplifies that more than veteran RH Nick Pivetta. The 28-year-old Canadian came over from the Phillies a year ago and he has played this season on an MLB minimum salary and has more than pulled his weight at the back end of the rotation. In 22 starts, Pivetta is 8-5 with a 4.34 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in just over 118 innings. He has a great chance to improve those numbers tonight as Pivetta has already beaten the O's both times he's faced them this season -- on April 11 and May 9. Those were in Baltimore so this will be his first start against them at Fenway in 2021. In fact Pivetta has beaten the O's in all five of his starts against them (three with the Red Sox and two with the Phillies). Take Boston. |

08-13-21 | Dodgers -146 v. Mets | Top | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the New York Mets. Tylor Megill burst on the scene earlier this season for the Mets and for a while it looked like his name would be in the Rookie of the Year discussions. By the end of July, Megill was 1-0 with a 2.04 ERA and the Mets had won six of his seven starts. Maybe the league caught up to him or maybe it was something else, but August has seen a different Megill go to the mound so far. In two starts this month (at Miami and Philadelphia) Megill is 0-2 with a 7.45 ERA in 9 2/3 innings. Although he's back home tonight, things won't get easier for the 26-year-old as the Dodgers come into Queens sporting one of the most lethal lineups in the game. They've got a pretty good pitcher on the mound too as Julio Urias goes for his 24th start of 2021. The 25-year-old southpaw leads the league with 13 victories and has logged a 3.41 ERA in 134 2/3 innings as well. L.A. is 38-17 in the last 55 meetings with New York and 21-7 in the last 28 in Queens. Take the Dodgers. |

08-12-21 | Padres -200 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 3-12 | Loss | -200 | 18 h 45 m | Show |
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Baseball is a team sport, but if the Padres are going to have any chance of catching the Dodgers and/or Giants, they're going to need certain individual players to step up in the final seven weeks of the season. No Padres player is that more true for than veteran RH Yu Darvish. Darvish's numbers would be fine for say a number three starter, but not what you would expect from an ace. In 22 starts covering 128 2/3 innings, Darvish is 7-6 with a 3.43 ERA and he's lost his last four decisions and hasn't won a game since June 21. That one was against tonight's opponent as well. Although he didn't win his last start, Darvish pitched very well allowing just two earned runs on four hits in seven innings with 12 strikeouts and no walks while the Pads cruised to a 6-2 win. And the opponent in that one? You guessed it -- the D-Backs. Darvish's teams have won seven of his last eight starts vs. Arizona going back to August of 2013. Take San Diego. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |

08-12-21 | Yankees v. White Sox -154 | Top | 8-9 | Win | 100 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
At 7:00 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the New York Yankees. The schedule may say Yankees at White Sox but this game is being played in Dyersville, Iowa at the iconic Field of Dreams ballpark. Carlos Rodon was originally scheduled to make this start, but he's landed on the DL which means veteran RHP Lance Lynn will get the call on this historic occasion. Lynn comes into this -- his 21st start of 2021 -- having no-decisions in his last two outings (vs. the Indians and Cubs). It's the first time this season that Lynn has gone two straight starts without a decision. Most of the time, those decisions have been wins, and even when he doesn't get the "W", the White Sox usually end up on the winning side of the score -- as in those last two starts. This is Lynn's first start of the season vs. the team he played for in 2018 but he's faced the Yanks four times in the past with some decent results (2-2 with a 3.60 ERA). LHP Andrew Heaney will get the start for the Yanks and the Sox are 37-14 in their last 51 games vs. southpaw starters. Take Chicago. As always good luck...Al McMordie.

08-12-21 | Rays +122 v. Red Sox | Top | 8-1 | Win | 122 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
At 4:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Boston Red Sox. Last night, we played on the Red Sox and Nathan Eovaldi against the Rays and easily won, 20-8. But off that offensive explosion (Boston's highest-scoring game since 2015), we'll fade the Red Sox and Nick Pivetta this afternoon. Notwithstanding yesterday's defeat, Tampa is still 6-1 its last seven vs. Boston. And it's 31-13 in day games this season. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are an awful 25-32 (minus 24.4 games on the moneyline) in daytime games at Fenway Park, and 30-46 (minus 25.9 games) at home vs. winning teams. Take Tampa. |

08-12-21 | Dodgers v. Phillies +130 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 130 | 2 h 58 m | Show |
At 1:05 pm, our selection is on the Philadelphia Phillies over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lefty Ranger Suarez will start this afternoon for the Phillies, and he's been terrific in 2021. He's made 29 appearances (including two starts), and has an ERA below 1 run a game (0.98 ERA), with a WHIP of 0.85. For the season, the Phillies are 26-15 in day games, and they're also 8-2 their last 10 games. Take the Phillies. |

08-11-21 | Rangers v. Mariners -175 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 18 h 56 m | Show |
t 10:10 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Texas Rangers. Southpaw Tyler Anderson will make his 3rd career start vs. Texas, and his ERA in his first two was 2.92. Tonight, Anderson will have a decided advantage vs. Texas starter Spencer Howard, who has a 5.47 ERA (and 7.00 in his last three starts) and a 1.37 WHIP. In contrast, Anderson's WHIP is a solid 1.19, and his ERA in his home starts is 3.31. We'll fade the Rangers on the road tonight, as they're a dreadful 44-102 as road underdogs, 14-43 in nighttime road games (minus 19.2 games on the moneyline), and 16-47 on the road vs. American League pitchers with a WHIP of 1.30 (or better). Take Seattle. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. |

08-11-21 | Rays v. Red Sox -113 | Top | 8-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Boston Red Sox over Tampa. The Rays have won five straight coming into this middle game of a 3-game set. But they'll have a disadvantage on the mound tonight, with Josh Fleming matching up against Nathan Eovaldi. Fleming brings a 4.93 ERA in his 10 starts into this game, including a 6.67 ERA on the road. Meanwhile, Eovaldi has done his best work at home this season, as his ERA at Fenway is 3.30, with a 1.12 WHIP. Take the Red Sox. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie |

08-11-21 | White Sox -160 v. Twins | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -160 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
At 1:10 pm, our selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Minnesota Twins. Lance Lynn comes into this -- his 21st start of 2021 -- having no-decisions in his last two outings (against the Indians and Cubs). And it's the first time this season that Lynn has gone two straight starts without getting a decision. Most of the time, those decisions are wins, and even when he doesn't get the "W", the White Sox usually end up on the winning side of the score. Today he faces the Twins -- a team he's been very dominant against already this season. In four starts against Minny covering 24 innings, Lynn is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP, and two of those starts came here at Target Field. Eight of his 20 starts this season were in the afternoon, and in those, the 34-year-old RHP is 4-1 with a 1.53 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. With the Sox 16-6 in the last 22 meetings with the Twins and 4-2 in the last six meetings here in Minneapolis, we'll take Chicago on Wednesday afternoon. |

08-10-21 | Rockies v. Astros -174 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Houston Astros over the Colorado Rockies. Veteran RHP Jake Odorizzi currently sits at the back end of the Houston rotation, and most pitchers would be happy to be in that position. The first place 'Stros lead the AL West by two games over the A's going into this week. But if Odorizzi doesn't improve his numbers, he will likely find himself in the bullpen come playoff time. The 31-year-old is 4-6 with a 4.95 ERA in 15 games (14 starts) covering 63 2/3 innings, including a 7-5 loss to the Dodgers six days ago. A match-up with the Rockies and veteran RHP Jon Gray awaits tonight and that's not a bad thing. In 29 career inter-league starts covering 154 1/3 innings, Odorizzi is 10-7 with a 3.62 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. Thankfully, this start is at home and not in run-happy, mile-high Denver, as Houston is 120-59 its last 179 at home, while Gray's teams are 28-44 (minus 12.6 games on the moneyline) in his 72 career starts on the road. Houston is also 20-7 in its last 27 inter-league home games vs. teams with losing records, and Odorizzi's been very profitable (18-7, +10.3 games on the moneyline) when working on an extra day or two of rest. Take the 'Stros. As always, good luck...Al McMordie. |
