Marlins plus $1.40 at Padres The Padres can’t be this strong of a favorite against any team especially when facing an opponent’s top pitcher. That’s the case here. Dan Straily is back healthy. The Marlins are 5-0 in his five starts this season. Straily has given up two or fewer runs in each of his […]
Rockies minus $1.21 hosting Giants Colorado is a disappointing 9-12 at home this season. Traditionally, though, the Rockies are tough at Coors Field. I’m expecting the Rockies to start playing better at home. They’ve been showing signs of that putting up a combined 25 hits during their last two games while scoring 18 runs in […]

Tigers plus $1.45 at Twins Strictly a value play here. Lance Lynn just can’t be this high of a favorite. He has been a disaster through his first eight starts with a 7.47 ERA and 2.04 WHIP. Minnesota is 2-6 in Lynn’s eight outings. Matthew Boyd, on the other hand, has pitched well for Detroit […]
Rangers minus $1.25 at White Sox Give me a reason, any reason, to play against the White Sox and I’m there. Here are three quick reasons. Cole Hamels. James Shields. Fair lay price. The Rangers are far from good. But they’re the ’27 Yankees compared to the White Sox, who have the worst record in […]
Nationals minus $1.25 at Padres This price is low enough to back the Nationals, winners of nine of its last 10 games. San Diego is 6-14 in its last 20 games. The Padres’ lineup is minus injured Wil Myers and Hunter Renfroe. The loss of Myers makes San Diego’s lineup really weak. The Padres were […]
