I like the Phillies here to snap the Braves winning streak on Saturday night.

Aaron Nola rebounded Sunday against the Reds, following a rough start the week prior in San Diego. He has been better after a slow start, going 4-1 with a 3.48 ERA in his last nine starts and should go deep into this game.
Look for the Phillies to bounce back after blowing it in the 9th inning last night.

The Cardinals offense did score 9 runs yesterday but it was on 8 hits and they are still batting .210 the last 20 days. The Mets at home have tallied 3 runs or less in 6 of 8 games. Michael Wacha has a nice 3.00 road ERA while allowing only 1 run on 9 hits his last 2 road starts. Noah Syndergaard has a 1.04 WHIP at home and is coming off a 7 inning 1 hit shutout versus Colorado on June 9th. I like the UNDER here in this one.

In two June starts, Pablo Lopez has a 0.75 ERA in 12 innings, and in his last three starts, he has allowed 2 earned runs in 18 innings with 19 strikeouts and three walks. Yet, he has one win to show for it in those games. Lopez's ERA at home this season is 1.78.

Both of these teams have lost seven of eight, but here's the difference with the Pirates Dario Agrazal who will be making his major league debut for Pittsburgh. Just five months ago the Pirates designated him for assignment and were ready to part with him, but no one claimed him. Take the Miami Marlins this evening.

I like Jimmy Nelson and the Brewers to bounce back with a win here on Saturday evening.

Nelson will make his second start of the season on Saturday in San Francisco seeking a longer outing than his first. Facing the Marlins on June 5, he yielded four earned runs over three innings. Nelson will look to shutdown the Giants offense who hasn't been good despite the 3 HR's in Fridays game.
Take the Milw Brewers here to get the cash.

This is a reasonable price on the Mets and Steven Matz, who's 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA at home. Over his last eight starts, Matz is 4-3 with a 3.50 ERA. Mickey Callaway’s trust in him also appears to be increasing. The manager allowed Matz to match his career high with 120 pitches in his last outing.
This is only the second start this year for the Cards' Daniel Ponce de Leon and I think it will take a few more starts before he gets back on track. Take the NY METS on Friday night.

If not for Nick Nurse's silly timeout with about three minutes left, this series would be over in my opinion. They were up 6 and he called a timeout and that hurt his own teams momentum. The Raptors still have all the matchup advantages they had in the previous games in Golden State. With Kevin Durant now out and Looney was unable to finish Game 5 due to his injury. He’s expected to try and go for tonight.

. I think this game is close and give the Raptors a favorable chance to win, so I’ll take the points with the Raptors on Thursday night.

Colorado starter Jon Gray is 2-0, 1.88 ERA in his last four home starts as the the right-hander is effective for long stretches. The difference is making good pitches in key spots. The Rockies have found their sweet spot a bit these last few, and even though they are only a couple games over .500 it's a great turnaround from how they started. They began the season losing 13 of their first 15 games, and that is always a hard thing to come back from. Colorado has a ton of talent, and if they can get some consistent pitching they will be in the mix for the Division as well as a playoff run. Take the Rockies to get a win the high altitude in this one.

I like the Mets coming off an off-day and STL who played last night on the road. Although Jacob deGrom struggles to get run support, this thin price is too value-heavy to pass up. The Mets are on a 13-3 run at home and are 4-1 behind deGrom in his last five outings against the Cardinals.

Zack Greinke is 7-2 with a 2.87 ERA and he is coming off a six-inning scoreless outing against the Blue Jays. Erik Fedde has been good since he was inserted into the starting rotation with a 2.70 ERA. Zack Greinke has pitched in a quality start in 12 of 14 starts this season. In Greinke’s career, he is 5-1 with a 1.43 ERA against the Nationals and Arizona has scored the third most runs in the last seven days. The Dbacks are 5-0 as the road favorite this season and the Nats are 1-9 after an off day, lay the road favorite.

Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas was lifted after four innings against the Cubs on Friday after taking a liner to the right forearm. Once the swelling went down, there wasn't any concern he'd miss a start. He gave up three runs and struck out four prior to his exit.The Marlins have lost six straight while scoring a total of 10 runs. Five times in that skid, they've scored one or zero runs. Now they're calling up a pitcher from AA to make Wednesday's start. STL is just the better team by far here as the Marlins cannot produce runs..
