The Marlins are on a five game winning streak. Their stock has gone up, and regression is well overdue. Not only will they lose Thursday afternoon, but don’t be surprised if they go on a solid losing streak the tail end of this month. Point blank this roster is extremely easy to fade, and especially when featuring their weakest rotational starter, we have to fade. Detroit is on an eight game losing streak and the Tigers are well overdue for a victory on Thursday. Matt Boyd will have no issue with this Marlins lineup, who enters this game with just a 30 percent winning clip on the road. Tigers is the winning play. Lay the juice.

Stephen Strasbourg against the Mets at Citi Field is lights out. Let’s break this down, in 11 starts in the Big Apple he is 8-1 with a 2.14 ERA. As a -140 favorite against a young pitcher in Steven Matz, who has only gone more than six innings just once in his eight starts this year, is a perfect recipe for a victory. Giving up barely any juice to carry a Nats team that is undervalued in a road favorite spot here. I like the Nats to avoid the five game losing streak and pick up the road victory here.

CHI. WHITE SOX @ HOUSTON | 5/23 | 8:10 PM EDT
9:58 AM
The Astros are throwing Corbin Martin for his third start. He's hasn't gone longer than 5.1 innings yet, but has been serviceable and is relieved by the top bullpen in the majors. He's also backed by the best offense in the league, one that's hitting .302 and averaging 5.7 runs at home -- and 6.4 runs anywhere in the last three weeks. It's also a lifetime .319 against Sox starter Lucas Giolito. Giolito all allowed two runs over 19.1 innings in his last three starts, but two were against the Blue Jays and the other vs. the Indians.

Both teams start pitchers making their first start of the season, and neither will last more than a few innings. That leaves things to the bullpen, and both teams again are pretty even there. So then we look at the bats -- and it's no contest at all. The Red Sox average nearly two more runs per game on the road than the Blue Jays do at home all year; they average a ridiculous 3.4 more runs per game in the last month; even in day games, the Sox average two more runs per effort. Toronto's batting .202 this month, compared to the .284 clip for Boston. Eventually the Sox break out.

Only once all year has Jordan Lyles given up more than two runs in an outing for the Pirates. He's dealing. But this Rockies offense is looking like the Rockies offense we expected. The Rocks are scoring 6.8 runs per game in May, and they're one of the top-hitting teams in day games, too -- and far better than the Pirates in both instances. Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela's overall numbers are only so-so, but he sports a road ERA of 2.95 -- it's 7.27 at Coors Field.

Matt Boyd's been one of the better pitchers in baseball this season, though nobody notices because he's on the Tigers. Against the worst offense in baseball I expect him to have a strong performance. I'd take the Tigers on the moneyline, but I don't trust them enough to pay the current price. Instead I'll take the Under.

I try not to put too much stock in home/road splits, but you have to when it comes to the Rockies. At home, the offense is good. On the road, particularly against RHP, it hasn't been good. Which makes me like the Pirates more in this matchup, but what I like most is combining that Colorado offense with a Pirates offense that hasn't shown much itself. All of which makes that Under look like the best play here.

DB's THOUGHTS:
This series is now even at two games apiece after the Raptors held serve at home by winning Games 3 and 4 in Toronto. That makes this a prime bounce-back spot for the Bucks, and the team's history this season in similar situations tells me we should expect a big Bucks win tonight.
The Bucks were 6-0 SU/ATS this season coming off a double-digit loss, winning by an average of 18.2 points per contest. That includes a 123-102 beating of the Celtics as 7.5-point home chalk in Game 2 of that series.
The Bucks were 12-0 SU and 9-3 ATS this season at home off back-to-back losses, winning by an average of 18.7 points per game & beating the spread by 8.25 points per contest. That includes a 121-86 win over Detroit in Round 1 and that 123-102 win over the Celtics in Round 2. If you narrow this down to just when they faced teams with a winning record, that actually improves the ledger to 4-0 SU/ATS with the average win coming by 24.5 points.
