Lots of value with the home team Cubs tonight. He has been lights out at home, going 4-2 with a 2.76 ERA in 8 starts at Wrigley Field this year. Lester is 6-2 with a 2.52 ERA in 10 lifetime starts against the Braves as well.
Lester is 26-7 as a favorite of -110 or higher over the last 2 seasons.

Cubs are 26-9 on the season as a favorite of -110 to -150 and 13-2 in Lester's last 15 starts in the month of June. Take Chicago!

The SD Padres 26-year-old lefty is quickly becoming a rotation anchor. With the Padres in need of a deep outing, Lucchesi blanked the Brewers for seven innings on Monday. His newfound cutter has given him a third weapon along with his fastball and "churve."
Take SD on Sunday to avoid the sweep and get the win this afternoon.

Here’s a classic case of an overreaction line from Vegas. Marlins starter Jordan Yamamoto looks unbeatable on paper, but the reality is he has only made two MLB starts against one MLB team (St. Louis). On Sunday, he pitches on the road against the Phillies, which is a tough matchup despite Philadelphia's struggles. So far in this weekend series the Phillies 3 and 4 batters are 0-17 combined. I have the Phillies as an overwhelming favorite as they look to get back on track at home against the worst team in the National League. Philadelphia will take this one Sunday afternoon.

The Yanks bats have been hot hitting a HR in 24 straight games. However I like the tough lefty Miley to keep them in check here on Saturday night. Miley has allowed three or fewer runs in 14 of his 15 starts this year. The Astros are 10-5 in games he has started. The NY Starter Tanaka is coming off a huge complete game 2-hit shutout.
I look for the Houston Astros to get to him and end their 6-game losing streak and we are getting some great value with them on Saturday.

The Angels are hot. The Cardinals are not. St. Louis is 4-5 in its last nine games. But those wins have come against the Marlins and Mets. The scores of those games have been a little deceiving as well, and the Cardinals really aren't playing all that well right now.

The Angels are starting to get healthy, and they are starting to find a groove. Mike Trout is on a tear, and now that he has real protection from Shohei Ohtani - rather than the aging Albert Pujols - Trout will get even more pitches to hit. Michael Wacha has been garbage for the Cardinals. He's bounced between the pen and the rotation, and he got lit up by the light-hitting Mets his last time out. In fact, he's allowed 19 runs in his last 19 innings.

I can see the Angels winning a higher-scoring game.

Strasburg will be aiming to turn the page from a clunker in his last outing, when he allowed 4 homers (matching a career high) and six earned runs. He allowed two runs over seven innings vs. the Braves on May 28, while matching a season high with 11 strikeouts.
Dallas Keuchel goes for ATL and I don't expect him to be sharp or pitch deep into the game.
Lets play the NATS here at home on Friday night.

Joe Musgrove has been very inconsistent as of late, and he has reverse splits with a 5.71 home ERA. In one start against San Diego this season he went 6.1 IP giving up four runs. Eric Lauer has been good on the road outside of a couple bad Coors Field starts.
SD has won four straight when Eric Lauer pitches on full rest and have won four straight against right-handed starters. Pittsburgh is on a 2-9 run against left-handed starters.


The Pirates have the fourth worst OPS in the league against lefties while the Padres have scored the second most runs in the league in the last seven days.

The Brewers are an impressive 22-13 at home, and Jimmy Nelson is coming off a poor outing and a bad road trip. They are a different team at home and facing Roark who is off a season high in pitches and I like the Brew Crew to jump on him early leading the Brewers to a win.

The Yankees have won each of the four games in which Green has been used as their opener. Green last pitched on Saturday, tossing two scoreless innings as the opener against the White Sox. I'm backing the NY Yankees here at home on Thursday night.

The Twins are riding the momentum coming off a 17-inning win in which they tied the game in the bottom of the 8th and 13th before winning it in the 17th. They have Kyle Gibson going who is 7-3 with a 3.7 ERA including a 4-0 record with a 2.45 ERA in five starts at home. Eduardo Rodriguez is going for the Red Sox who is 7-4 with a 4.76 ERA including a 5.23 ERA in eight starts on the road.


Rodriguez is off a season high 114 pitch effort in his last outing; the only game in his last six outings where he’s recorded an out after the sixth inning. It’s surely worth noting that current Twins have hit .314 against him with a .948 OPS in a decent 70 at bat sample size.

Kyle Gibson, on the other hand, needed only 88 pitches to get through eight scoreless innings against KC in his last outing. He threw seven innings of one run ball in his previous home start. Current Red Sox have not hit him hard, with a .234 batting average against.
Take the Minnesota Twins
