Strider gets the obvious checkmark in the pitching match-up, and Atlanta owns an edge in the bullpen comparison. But Philadelphia owns the edge in the splits with the sticks. So when we add that up, it becomes apparent the line on this game is greatly inflated. We're betting the value with the Phillies getting that fat underdog price Sunday night.

Cleveland owns the edge in the pitching match-up, although Bibee is still a bit of an unknown quantity. The Guardians also own an edge in the bullpen comparison, but St. Louis owns a significant edge with the sticks. We've been expecting the Cardinals to turn things around following their poor start to this season, and they seem to be on their way. We're betting on St. Louis Saturday night.

Gray gets out handicapping check-mark in the pitching match-up, and while Baltimore owns the edge in the bullpen comparison Texas owns the edge in the splits with the sticks. Also, after taking a big series against the rival Yankees, we’re wondering if Baltimore might suffer a bit of a letdown this weekend. We’re betting on the Rangers at the underdog price Friday night.

We give Gibson the edge in the pitching match-up here, while the splits with the sticks and the bullpens come out about even. So to us, the wrong team is favored for this game. We're betting Baltimore getting the underdog price Thursday night. 

McClanahan gets the checkmark in the pitching match-up. From there, Tampa Bay still owns an edge with the sticks, despite Toronto's performance Tuesday night, while the bullpens look about even. So we like the Rays on the bounce-back in this spot. But we don't like that price. So we'll take a chance and play Tampa Bay against the run line.  

Strider gets the obvious checkmark in the pitching match-up, and Atlanta owns the edge in the bullpen comparison. But Los Angeles owns the advantage in the splits with the sticks, scoring runs in bunches as of late. So the line on this game certainly seems inflated. The Dodgers just won a game as an underdog with a rookie starting pitcher Monday night; we like the betting value with LA Tuesday night, too.

We're calling this pitching match-up a wash, although Javier might actually hold an edge; going really good as of late. The splits with the sticks also looks pretty even, but Houston just got a boost with the return of Altuve. And the Astros get the checkmark in the bullpen comparison. So we're betting on Houston Monday night.  

Mikolas gets our checkmark in the pitching match-up because he’s going much better recently than Syndergaard. We also give St. Louis a slight edge in the bullpen comparison, while the splits with the sticks look about even. We figured the Cardinals would wake up following a slow start to this season, and that’s what is happening. We’re betting on St. Louis Saturday night.

The total for this game is set at 7.5 runs, and I think the under is the way to go. Both teams have good pitching, and I don't think either team will score a lot of runs.  

Peralta gets the check-mark in this pitching match-up. From there Milwaukee might own a slight edge in the bullpen comparison while St. Louis might own a slight edge with the sticks. Bigger picture, the Cardinals seem to be coming around, like we figured they would, and momentum means a lot when handicapping baseball. We’re riding St. Louis Monday night.

St. Louis looks like it’s coming around, as we suspected it would, while Boston seems to be leveling out, following a nice run. And diverging trends mean a lot to us when handicapping baseball games. We’re betting the Cardinals to complete the sweep Sunday night.

Urias gets our check-mark in the pitching match-up but the splits with the sticks and the bullpens look about even. Which indicates to us the line on this game is slightly inflated. We look for good betting value every day on the baseball dime lines and we like the value with San Diego here getting that underdog price.

Neither starting pitcher is going very good as of late and neither team is scoring a whole lot lately. From there we give Baltimore an edge in the bullpen comparison. Ultimately, we had a good feeling about the Orioles heading into this season and that’s been paying off. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s probably been playing over it’s head so far this season. We’re betting Baltimore Friday night.

We rate both the pitching match-up and the bullpen comparison about even here but we give Tampa Bay a solid edge in the splits with the sticks. Are the Rays going to play .760 ball all season? No, of course not, Nobody can. But they’re still the best team in Baseball at the moment, playing against a Yankees team we have some doubts about. We’re betting Tampa to take the opener of this series Thursday night.

St. Louis is playing with a bit of momentum now, while Chicago looks like it's returning to Earth. And while Steele is going great, Montgomery ain't doing too bad himself. We like the Cardinals to complete the sweep Wednesday night.

Morton owns the edge in the pitching match-up and Atlanta probably owns a short edge in the bullpen comparison but Boston owns a solid advantage in the splits with the sticks. So the line on this game seems a bit out of whack. A team that’s 8-1 over its last nine games getting +150? We like the betting value with the Red Sox Tuesday night.

McClanahan gets our handicapping check-mark in the pitching match-up but the splits with the sticks and the bullpens come out about even. So to us the line on this game seems inflated. Also, Tampa is already 21 games over .500 on the season but nobody can keep that pace up for very long. Maybe it’s time to start fading the Rays. We’ll bet Baltimore at that fat underdog price Monday night.

Strider gets the obvious check-mark in the pitching match-up, but from there, we're calling both the splits with the sticks and the bullpen comparison a wash. So, from what we can tell, the line on this game is significantly inflated. Betting baseball often comes down to finding value on these daily dime lines, and we're loving the value with Baltimore getting that generous underdog price.

Guerra is probably starting Tuesday in an opener’s role before turning this game over to Tampa Bay’s very capable bullpen. Meanwhile, Contreras is going really good as of late. So the overall pitching match-up looks about like a wash. From there we give the Rays, with perhaps the most balanced line-up in Baseball, the edge with the sticks. Ultimately, we expect Pittsburgh to fall back to Earth sometime soon while Tampa might really be this good. We’re betting the Rays Tuesday night.

We give Gonsolin the edge in this pitching match-up because he was so darn good last year. From there we call both the splits with the sticks and the bullpen comparison about even. But our belief is Philadelphia has been playing a bit over its head so far this season, somehow hitting and winning without Harper and Hoskins, while Los Angeles is under-performing a bit. We believe those trends will revert themselves, possibly as soon as this series, or even Monday night. We’re betting the Dodgers to take the opener of this series.
