L.A. Angels at Seattle 9:10 ET

Angels over Mariners- Seattle was near 'perfect' in every way last night defeating Los Angeles 10-0 and almost throwing a no-hitter into the mix to boot. Last night's win as the first in seven games for Seattle who has been the AL's worst since starting the year 13-2. The Angels will start Griffin Canning (3-5, 4.75 ERA) ho has been the mark of inconsistency. Last time out against Houston he got only four out and walked six while throwing four (4) wild pitches. The Mariners are once again trying to pull some shit and will have a reliever start before handing the ball to Wade LeBlanc, to bad he will already be down four runs. Take LOS ANGELS!

New York Mets at San Francisco 4:00 ET

Mets over Giants- Personally, I find it hard to believe the Giants at this point of the season are at the break-even mark as I expected them to trail the rest of the NL by a wide margin. A current seven-game winning streak and 14 of their last 16 has them flying over the Mets the last two days as New York has scored just three runs in their last 26 innings and will have Walter Lockett (0-1, 11.74 ERA) who will be making his second start in place of Zack Wheeler and last threw in Triple-A last Sunday. The Giants are going with Jeff Samardzija (7-7, 3.93) and he is 0-5 with a 7.32 ERA in 11 starts against New York. Take the M-E-T-S!

Philadelphia at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET

Pirates over Phillies- These two Pennsylvania teams are moving in opposite directions as the Phillies have won 3-of-4 while Pittsburgh has dropped six of seven since the All-Star break. Philadelphia will start Zach Eflin (7-9, 4.16 ERA) who has allowed seven runs in each of his last two starts and is 2-6 in his last 10 starts. The Pirates will send Joe Musgrove (6-8, 4.31) to the hill and he has allowed just four runs in his last 22 innings of work. Take PITTSBURGH!

Edmonton at Montreal 4:00 ET

Alouettes (+) over Eskimos- “Break-up the Alouettes” that cry has yet to be heard in the Great North as Montreal has posted a pair of heavy underdog upsets over Hamilton and Ottawa and is now 2-2. Edmonton opened the season with a 32-25 win over the Alouettes continuing their mastery of Montreal inning the last five meetings straight-up and going 5-0 ATS in the last five road meetings. The Alou's have a much improved offense and will score enough to get the money here. Take MONTREAL!

New York Mets at San Francisco 4:05 ET

Giants over Mets- Man, this one came up a little 'late' otherwise' it could have been the top-play of the day. Oh, do I 'love' this spot...The Mets are mutts and one of the biggest among them is this 'cunny-thummer' Steven Matz (5-6, 4.87 ERA) who has surrendered more hits than innings pitched and has just seven K's in his last 1 innings. Take the GIANTS...

L.A. Angels at Seattle 4:10 ET

Angels over Mariners- What a way to close a 3-0 SWEEP with the Angels scoring four runs with two outs in the ninth after the Mariners mis-played a simple infield pop-up. We needed that kind of break after blowing a 7-0 lead with the Reds against the Cardinals on Friday. That kind of play can demoralize and already struggling team. Seattle has lost six of seven since the break and 14 of their last 17 games overall. The Mariners will start Yusei Kikuchi (4-6, 5.01 ERA) who is 1- with a 10.91 ERA against the Angels this season and is 1-5 with a 7.29 ERA in his last nine starts getting to five innings only twice. Take the ANGELS!

Milwaukee at Arizona 4:10 ET

Brewers over Diamondbacks- Arizona's 25-year old rookie Alex Young (3-0, 0.96 ERA) has been impressive since his call-up from Triple-A Reno surrendering just six hits in 18.2 innings. His mound foe today will be the Brewers best All-Star Brandon Woodruff (11-3, 3.53) who has struck-out 133 in 114 innings allowing just one run in each of his last three starts. Milwaukee is 15-4 when he starts and they have won four of their last five. Take the BREWERS!

Texas at Houston 2:10 ET

Astros over Rangers- It is said that after the All-star break the leagues start to separate the 'contenders from the pretenders' and it couldn't be more evident than what we are seeing out of their two Lone Star state rivals. Houston has moved out in front of their division and has won their last four games while the Rangers have lost their last six. Even Texas' ace Lance Lynn (12-5, 3.87 ERA) who is tied for the lead in AL victories has been affected having his personal six-game win streak ended surrendering five runs and eights hits his last time out. Houston will start rookie Rogelio Armenteros who gets his first MLB start and is facing a team that has struck-out 10 times or more in 12 of their last 15 games. Add that the Astros are 48-20 in their last 68 home games. Take HOUSTON!
