  Valdez v. Green (opener)
  VALUE VALUE VALUE! Not much have the Astros lost 3 games in a row since the season they won it all...that is for sure...but they are 4-1 in this spot. All teams combined are 18-6 in such a spot and Chad Green has excelled in the opener slot lately but is ripe for a beating from an offense struggling badly lately...albeit against great pitching! They move from one HR happy park straight to another and are getting half a run!
  
  Whoo hoo I say!

  Gallen v. Wainwright
  Cards won a 2-1 extra inning pitcher's duel thriller last night and now host again as favorites and this spot is 28-4 on the ML for massive profit....we back the Cards here with the vet on the mound against the recent excellent performing Gallen in AAA but this is the majors and while he will want to prove himself against the team that traded him...so will his lineup around Ozuna beside Ozuna himself.
  Pretty easy value here and likely a line that goes flying upward as night comes...

  Roark v. Nelson
  Reds are pitching their asses off after sweeping the Stros at home and now travel to Brewtown and get to start the series against Jimmy Nelson. Tanner Roark continues to pitch better than his record and while the Reds' bats didn't light up Houston pitching all series the pitching did wow!
  Jimmy Nelson is back and the Brewers continue to likely wish they had a stud AAA pitcher to call up....he has 7 innings in 2 starts under his belt for 9 runs and 9 hits and no signs of stopping. The Reds know tougher games are coming but should be up for tonight's matchup....but either way we get half a run first 5 against Nelson with Roark a better option in most all ways!

HOUSTON +122


HOUSTON @ N.Y. YANKEES | 6/20 | 7:05 PM EDT
10:35 AM
A perfect time to bet against the Yankees as they are forced to start their mediocre reliever in Chad Green. The Astros have lost four straight and Vegas is overcompensating for this losing streak. I’ll take a pitching edge over a slight batters edge any day of the week. Astros Valdez has given up just three runs in his last three starts and all have been favorites higher than the -160 mark. Houston is a value pick for once Thursday night.

CHI. CUBS -140


N.Y. METS @ CHI. CUBS | 6/20 | 8:05 PM EDT
9:21 AM
The Mets' rotation is falling apart. Finally they get Jason Vargas going and he’s questionable to start, and Noah Syndergaard is unavailable as well. They now turn to Walker Lockett to make his first start of the season against a team that has the best win-to-loss disparity from road to home in the league. The 25-12 home Cubbies have their reliable Tyler Chatwood on the mound, who looks to continue his dominance against the Mets, picking up where he left off last season. The Cubbies should be a much heavier favorite Thursday night. Take the line before it gets hammered.

TAMPA BAY @ OAKLAND | 6/20 | 10:07 PM EDT

What a pitching matchup we have here at the Oakland Coliseum Thursday night. In terms of record we have two of the top MLB pitchers going head to head, but I give the Rays the edge. On the road, the Rays have been even more impressive this year, and Morton carries a 1.80 ERA in his career on the road against Oakland. That is the second lowest against any other team he has faced in over a decade in the MLB. I respect the hype surrounding Frankie Montas, but it was only until this year he has shown a consistent dominance in this league. Don’t let the recent struggles of the Rays fool you, they will snap out of that tonight.

OVER 7.5 SAN FRANCISCO @ L.A. DODGERS | 6/20 | 10:10 PM EDT


12:37 PM
I thought this total was off the moment I saw it. Rich Hill had to leave last night's game after only an inning, meaning the Dodgers bullpen had to cover eight innings. Tonight Julio Urias will start, and he's averaging fewer than 5 innings in his start this season, so there's a good chance a taxed bullpen will have to cover a lot of tonight's innings as well. Throw in Dana DeMuth behind the plate, who is quite friendly to hitters, and I expect this to be a higher-scoring affair.

OVER 8.5 COLORADO @ ARIZONA | 6/20 | 3:40 PM EDT


12:34 PM
This is the second consecutive day that I believe the total in this game is too low. Last night's affair ended 6-4 despite a strong start from Zack Greinke, and I expect a similar kind of game between these two again on Thursday afternoon.

3-2 IN LAST 5 MLB PICKS | +212

MIAMI +165


MIAMI @ ST. LOUIS | 6/20 | 7:15 PM EDT
12:31 PM
Yes please! Adam Wainwright is starting for the Cardinals in this game, and I'll take any chance to bet against Adam Wainwright as this heavy of a favorite. Wainwright enters this game with an ERA of 4.46 while sporting a strikeout rate 12 percent below league average and a walk rate 19 percent worse than the league average. Zac Gallen's making his MLB debut for the Marlins, but the former 3rd round pick has been fantastic in Triple-A this season, and while he doesn't have a great pitch, he has a lot of solid ones.

3-2 IN LAST 5 MLB PICKS | +212
2-1 IN LAST 3 MIA ML PICKS | +205

CINCINNATI +120


CINCINNATI @ MILWAUKEE | 6/20 | 8:10 PM EDT
11:48 AM
The Brewers are coming off a 2-6 road trip including a sweep by the Padres. The Reds have won four in a row and are coming off a sweep of the Astros. Both these teams play differently at home vs. on the road, but I like Tanner Roark much more than Jimmy Nelson. Roark is 3-1 with a 3.6 ERA in six starts on the road while Nelson has given up eight runs in seven innings this season. A good thing to look at when a pitcher comes back from an extended absence is command, and Nelson has walked six batters to just eight strikeouts so far.

34-20 IN LAST 54 MLB PICKS | +757


CHI. CUBS -154


N.Y. METS @ CHI. CUBS | 6/20 | 8:05 PM EDT
11:46 AM
Tyler Chatwood is making his second start of the season, he is 3-1 with a 3.6 ERA this season. Walker Lockett will be called up to make his season debut, he was 0-3 with a 9.6 ERA in three starts last season. The Cubs are 25-12 at home while the Mets are 15-25 on the road. The Cubs are 21-10 as the home favorite and the Mets are 9-18 as the road underdog. All signs are pointing to the Cubs in this one.

CLEVELAND @ TEXAS | 6/20 | 2:05 PM EDT

Mike Minor is 6-4 with a 2.63 ERA this season including a 3-2 record with a 2.18 ERA at home. Shane Bieber is 6-2 with a 3.92 ERA and 4-1 with a 4.05 ERA on the road. Bieber has been much more inconsistent this season and he has a 4.96 ERA in June. The Indians also rank 21st in OPS against lefties. The Rangers are 15-11 as the home underdog, back the dog.

Lockett v. Chatwood

Chatwood has been solid as a starter...we get the Cubs in a system where they have won 11 of 11 and Lockett is a AAA call up not ready for this Cubs lineup that just took Giolito to task....the hottest pitcher in baseball. He doesn't have anything in the way of special honestly that will make it tough to face him without having seen him in the majors. Baez and/or Rizzo take him deep within the first 2 at bats.

4 Units - #922 Oakland (+100) over Tampa *10 EST
So, Tampa just got waxed by the Yankees 21-4 in a 3 game set, now travel cross country and play next day, and the D Rays are hitting .182 as a team their last 5 games and laying a short number against home team Oakland? I am not buying it, Tampa is in a slump, especially hitting. I know Morton is on the hill for Tampa with a super low ERA, but Oakland is hot at the plate and have Montas on the hill with a 3.00 ERA his last 3 starts and backed by a bullpen with a 1.26 ERA their last 5 games allowing opposing teams a batting average of .142 against them in that timeframe. Oakland just beat the O's in a 3-game series 27-7 overall, and last week took 2 out of 3 from Tampa in Tampa.

3 Units - #905 Miami / #906 St Louis (OVER 8) *7:15 EST
Miami bring up a pitcher making his MLB debut on the road, and I expect St Louis to hit him hard at home here, the Cards could score 6-7 runs on their own. Miami has a way of getting runs despite losses and Wainwright for St Louis is aging and not the ace he once was and should give up 3 or 4. The Cards are totally unpredictable this season, but at -155 should get the win if you want a small lean here, I mean Wainwright is 44-18 in his last 62 home starts. In any event I expect this number to exceed 8 runs.
