Jacob Nix the Padres rookie right-hander starter tonight became the seventh Padre to work at least six scoreless frames in his debut when he blanked Philadelphia for six innings on Friday. Between Double-A, Triple-A and the Majors this season, Nix has a 1.67 ERA and has been lights out with 48 strikeouts and just 11 walks in 64.2 innings.


Clay Buchholz has struggled with SD as the Padres have a .314 average against Buchholz and the D’backs are just 3-4 in his road starts.

The Padres are hitting .284 this month and I'll back them at home tonight.

I like the veteran QB rotation tonight for the Redskins at home.

Look for the Washington Redskins to get on track with a win at home over the New York Jets as they are expected to play their starters and 2nd team a lot more tonight.
Pick'em situation and I'll back Colt McCoy and Kevin Hogan to take care of business with Washington here at home

Look for Zach Eflin was sent to Triple-A to make room for Justin Bour, not for any lack of success to have a big outing tonight. The righty has a 4.91 ERA since the All-Star break and held the Padres to two runs over six innings last time out.
He is a very good pitcher and should keep the Mets lineup in check.
Take the PHILLIES here in game 2 of the doubleheader on Thursday night.

Colorado is good at night with a 48-31 record while the Braves have struggled versus the NL West division going just 9-14.


The Rockies just got shelled 12-1 last night and prior to that game the Rockies had won four straight on the back of quality pitching. Now they get Jon Gray on the mound who was roughed up his last start. Prior to that, Gray surrendered just 1, 2, 1 and 1 runs respectively four starts. The Rockies are 7-0 in Gray's last 7 starts and 19-7 in the last 26 meetings overall.


The Braves will counter with Julio Teheran who owns a 4.33 ERA and has been very inconsistent and gives up a ton of hits.

Lastly, the Braves may also be without their hottest bat in Ronald Acuna JR. who was hit on the wrist with a pitch in last night's ball game.

I think this is a good under play tonight.
Angels starter Pena is 1-1 with a 1.84 ERA in three road starts this season and they are still without Mike Trout in their lineup. SD doesn't put up a lot of runs and I see this game staying UNDER the total on Wednesday night

The KC Royals ar just 17-43 at home this season and struggle at home.

Burch Smith has given up 16 earned runs over his last three starts while walking six and fanning just eight. Toronto is 19-7 in its last 26 games versus sub.-400 teams so I'm on the Blue Jays here on Wednesday night.

Pirates Talllion is coming off a complete game and I expect a letdown from him tonight. Pitt is not a good road team and the Twins will take advantage here at home as a small underdog as the Twins are solid at home.

The Mets' offense has come alive, and the team has won four of five. They have a positive pitching matchup against the Orioles, losers of five in a row and they are 0-13 in games after a day off(They were off on Monday). Baltimore is shockingly poor coming off a day off, losers of 15 of 17. Lets back the NY Mets who have momentum and some confidence after beat the Yanks and hitting 5 HR's in that game.

Sean Manaea is looking to rebound from the shortest start of his season, having lasted just 2 2/3 innings in a 77-pitch outing against the Dodgers on Tuesday. The lefty allowed three runs on five hits and three walks and struck out just one. He wasn't himself in that game and I look for him to bounce back here at home against divisional Seattle Mariners. Take the OAKLAND A's.

Reid-Foley is set to make his Major League debut after an impressive run for Triple-A Buffalo. Toronto's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline was 7-4 with a 3.50 ERA while striking out over 1 batter/inning.

This is a Bluejay team that only scored 3 runs their last 3 games as well which speaks volumes as they are likely to bust out here as they faced a very good Tampa Bay pitching staff and were simply couldnt hit. Look for them to get back on track quickly as per their offense against Brad Keller who is having a decent rookie campaign but who is very hittable and has control issues. Keller who has given up 21 hits and 9 walks in his last 3 starts, for a total of 30 baserunners in 20 innings. Look for the Bluejays to get a big win here tonight.
