The Rangers have taken the first two games from the Sox but are just 4-7 over their last 11. Scherzer is 9-4 this season with a 4.01 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. The Rangers are ranked first in runs scored and team batting average. Scherzer has not been overpowering this season but should have no problem against the Sox offense. Even if he does let up a couple of runs, the Rangers' offense should be able to tee off against Toussaint and the rest of the Sox staff. These are games the Rangers can't lose if they are going to take the AL West. Play on Texas minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

Noah Syndergaard will make his first start for Cleveland since coming over from the Dodgers. He posted a 1-4 record with LA with a 7.16 ERA and a 1.45 Whip in 12 starts. Houston will likely go with J.P. France. He is 6-3 with a 2.87 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. This is a play more against Syndergaard than anything else. He has struggled all season and will be facing a very good Astros offense. The Astros are better on both sides of the ball and Cleveland has found it difficult to score runs this season.

He is 6-7 this season with a 3.14 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. The Cards are 11th in total runs scored and eighth in batting average. Jameson Taillon gets the call for the Cubs in this one. He has struggled this season, since coming over in free agency. He is just 3-6 with a 6.05 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. The Cubs are 10th in runs scored and 14 in batting average. Taillon. has been a disappointment this season. Chicago’s bullpen was used a lot yesterday as it was a bullpen game and they went through six pitchers. Taillon does not go long into games so the Cubs will be at a disadvantage when it goes to the bullpens. The Cards had a lead four different times yesterday but couldn't hold it.

The Astros are averaging 5.22 runs in their last 23 games while the A’s are scoring 3.5 runs in their last 24 games. If it comes down to the bullpens, the Astros have the advantage there also. The Astros rank seventh with a 3.70 reliever ERA while Oakland is last at 5.70. The Astros have outscored the A's 40-14 in the eight games.

Over his last five, he is 1-1 with a 2.33 ERA. The Padres have been one of the best rosters in the MLB but also one of the most disappointing. Lugo has been very good this year while Olson has been inconsistent. Detroit is a woeful 14-21 as a home underdog. Lugo has allowed three or fewer runs in ten starts and is facing a Tiger team that averages a tad under 4 runs a game.

The Braves have by far the better offense so like yesterday I will lay the 1.5 runs. Play on Atlanta minus 1.5 runs. | |||||||

The San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates play game two of their series Saturday. The Giants will send Alex Cobb to the mound. He is 6-2 this season with a 2.91 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. He is 2-1 on the road with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. In his last three starts, he is 1-0 with a 2.40 ERA. The Pirates counter with Johan Oviedon on the mound. He is 3-10 this season with a 4.75 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. At home, he is 2-5 with a 4.75 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Over his last three starts, he is 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA. The Giants will need more consistency as they have been prone to both winning and losing streaks. The Pirates were just 3-7 in their last 10. I am looking for the Giants to take the second game of the series just like they did in the first game. PLay on San Francisco | |||||||
07-14-23 | White Sox v. Braves -1.5 | Top | 0-9 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
The Chicago White Sox need to get off to a hot start if they want to have their season but facing the Atlanta Braves is a daunting task. Chicago is 38-54 and 17-29 on the road. Michael Kopech will get the start for the Sox. He is 3-7 this season with a 4.08 ERA. He has pitched well over his last five starts with nothing to show for it. He has posted a 2.06 ERA over his last 5 but is 0-2. On the road this season, he is 2-3 with a 4.10 ERA. The Braves will look to improve on the best record in baseball by sending Charlie Morton to the mound. He is 9-6 with a 3.43 ERA this season. He has been outstanding over his last five, going 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA. He is 4-3 with a 4.12 ERA at home. Not only are the Braves the best team in baseball, their offense is arguably the best in baseball also. Kopech said he was tired before the break so maybe the rest will sort out his command issues. Morton has been a solid pitcher but has pitched really well over his last five starts. I don't have a lot of faith in the Sox in the second half and look for the Braves to come away with an easy win here. Play on Atlanta minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

The two best teams in baseball face off when the Atlanta Braves take on the Tampa Bay Rays. Atlanta took the first two games of the series and will be going for a sweep by sending Bryce Elder to the mound. Tampa will look to get a win with Zach Eflin getting the start. The Braves are 9-1 in their last 10 games and 20-2 in their past 22 outings. Bryce Elder is 7-1 this season with a 2.45 ERA. He has allowed just five earned runs over his last four starts. The Rays are just 3-7 in their last 10 games and have lost seven in a row. Zach Eflin is 9-4 with a 3.24 ERA. He has struggled as of late allowing 13 runs in his last 5 starts. Just a total of 10 runs combined have been scored in the first two games. With two top-of-the-line pitchers on the mound, I am expecting another tight low scoring game. The under is 5-1 in the past six head-to-head meetings in Tampa Bay. The Braves have gone under in four of their past five overall games. Take the UNDER in this one. Play on the UNDER | |||||||

Texas has a huge advantage on the mound and will take them on the run line to maximize profit. Play on Texas | |||||||

The best two teams in baseball face off when the Atlanta Braves take on the Tampa Bay Rays. The Braves took game one in a pitcher's duel 2-1. The Braves are 9-2 in their past 11 games on the road and are 11-1 in their past 12 games played against teams with a winning record and 19-2 over their last 21 overall. Spencer Strider takes the mound for tonight's start. He is 4-0 over his last five starts and hasn't lost since May.

Against the Padres in his last start, he was spectacular. he allowed one run on four hits in 7.2 innings and he struck out 12. The Brewers will have thier best starter on the mound when they hand the ball to Corbin Burnes. He struggled at the beginning of the season but has really turned it around. He allowed just two runs on one hit in seven innings last time out. The Brewers are only 17-23 against teams better than .500. The Reds are 6-1 in their last seven opening games to a series.

The Texas Rangers head to Boston to take on the Red Sox. This should be a good series as both teams have above-average lineups and solid pitching. The Rangers are 23-17 on the road this season but they are just 3-7 over their last 10 games overall. They will look to gain back momentum by sending Dane Dunning to the mound. He is 7-1 this season with a 2.69 ERA. He has given up 6 runs over his last three starts. Boston has been inconsistent all season but is coming off a sweep of Toronto. Boston is just 4-6 over their last 10 games. They are just 21-21 at home this season and have dropped 12 of their last 20 games at home. Boston has not named a starter and will probably go with an opener. Texas has been more consistent this season and I trust their offense more than the Red Sox offense. Neither team has been great over the last 10 games but Texas has the better pitcher and better offense. Boston has not been playing well at home and I am looking for big things from the Texas offense. Play on Texas. | |||||||
