20* San Francisco Giants +1.5
Today I am taking the San Francisco Giants on the Run Line against the Washington Nationals. The Giants are worth a shot on the ML today but we will play it safe and take them on the Run Line. Drew Pomeranz goes for the Giants today and he has been solid in his outings so far this season allowing 2 runs each time out but not getting much run support. He owns a 2-0 mark with a 2.19 ERA in two starts versus Washington as well. Take the Giants on the Run Line!

20* Minnesota Twins
Tonight I am taking the Minnesota Twins as home favorites against the Toronto Blue Jays. Minnesota sends Jake Odorizzi to the mound and he has a strong track record against the Blue Jays, going 5-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 15 outings. I look for a quality start from him and for the Twins to rough up Odorizzis counterpart and get the win. Take Minnesota!

20* Chicago White Sox
Today I am taking the Chicago White Sox as small home favorites against the Kansas City Royals. Today this pick is all about Lucas Giolito who takes the mound for Chicago and he has owned the Royals in his career, going 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA in 7 appearances. Take the White Sox as he delivers again and Chicago puts up enough runs to get the win!

20* Toronto Raptors
Tonight I am taking the Toronto Raptors as home favorites against the Orlando Magic. This is an extremely important game for the Raptors as they cannot afford to drop both home games if they plan on moving on to the next round. Toronto is a very strong team and they believe this is their year without LeBron and the Cavs in their way. Take Toronto.

20* Pittsburgh Pirates
Tonight I am taking the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road against the Detroit Tigers. The Pirates have been getting extremely good starting pitching and if it wasn't for their bullpen which was supposed to be a strength for them, they would be in first place with another 3 wins. Look for another quality start from Musgrove as the Pirates pick up another win. Take Pittsburgh.

20* Philadelphia Phillies
Tonight I am taking the Philadelphia Phillies as small home favorites against the New York Mets. This game features two top pitchers and Aaron Nola has had a lot of success against the Mets going 6-1 with an ERA just above 3. Look for a strong outing from Nola as the Phillies get the win. Take Philadelphia!

20* Baltimore Orioles +1.5
Today I am taking the Baltimore Orioles on the Run Line as road underdogs against the Boston Red Sox. Baltimore sends Dan Strailey to the mound and he has struggled so far but I believe he get some innings in today and delivers a quality start. Boston is using a bullpen guy as a spot start as they are pushing back Chris Sale another day. Look for the Orioles to put up some runs today. Take Baltimore.

20* Tampa Bay Rays
Today I am taking the Tampa Bay Rays as road favorites against the Toronto Blue Jays. Tampa Bay has had a nice start to this season and has made some nice additions to their team. None more important than Charlie Morton, who after a rough 1st half of his career, Morton has been a stud the past 3 years and continues to pitch well into 2019. Take Tampa as they keep on winning.

20* Atlanta Braves
Tonight I am taking the Atlanta Braves as home favorites against the New York Mets. The Braves have lost the first two games of this series but find themselves in excellent position tonight with Sean Newcomb on the mound. Newcomb went 1-0 in three starts against the Mets a season ago, posting an ERA of 1.00 with eight walks and 21 strikeouts in 18 innings. Look for him to pick up where he left off as the Braves get back in the win column. Take Atlanta!

20* Pittsburgh Pirates
This afternoon I am taking the Pittsburgh Pirates as small road underdogs against the Washington Nationals. This line is off in my opinion and the wrong team is favored. Chris Archer is a solid starting pitcher and Washington is marching out Anibal Sanchez, who had looked washed up after 2014 by having 3 straight bad and 2 very bad seasons from 2015-17. Last year he was solid but he started out 2019 getting beat up and I believe that trend continues. Take Pittsburgh!
