So before the second half begins, let's dive into the top 10 story lines to monitor between now and October-because there's a whole lot of baseball left, and just as much drama on the…

Cal Quantrill (RHP, Guardians): [1-0, 3.72 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 9.2 IP, 4 K, 4 BB] Nestor Cortes Jr (LHP, Yankees): [0-0, 0.00 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, 9.1 IP, 17 K, 1…

The teardown of the Orioles began in July as they spiraled deeper into last place in the American League East. The task of rebuilding was next on the docket and ensured that they wouldn't contend again for at least a few years. There's no timetable given and no reason to believe in a quick fix. Changes have ripped apart the organization like a…

Back on the winning side! We were one strike away from a perfect 3-0 leather jacket today. The Astros decided that Ryan Pressly was the best man to close out the ninth off an injury. He wasn't; he left a hanging curveball that was launched into the seats to tie the game up. We lost on the spread, but our other picks BANGED. I said yesterday the…

The Bronx Bombers are at full force and the pitching has been outstanding. Are the New York Yankees now the favorites to win the World Series? The ghosts of Yankees past are hard to miss in the Bronx, from Monument Park in center field to the 27 championship flags flying from the facade. Legendary names such as Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle…

Hello, all you beautiful people. I'm feeling amazing this Friday. I'm 6-1 in my last seven picks, highlighted by a perfect sweep yesterday. In our bread and butter game, we took the Reds vs. Guardians under through the first five innings, one of the easiest wins of the season. Both pitchers shoved as I predicted, only allowing two runs in five…

The top two teams in the American League are the last two standing as we begin the American League Championship Series on Wednesday. It's the exact opposite of what's going on in the National League between the Padres and Phillies, and hopefully, it will put a pause on all those knee-jerk claims that the expanded-postseason format is putting the…

Nestor Cortes Jr. is pitching on short rest vs. a team that doesn't strike out often in the Guardians. The lefty's K total for this afternoon is sitting at 4.5, a number he was unable to clear in his Game 2 start. Our betting picks are hitting the Under. It's do-or-die time for the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees in the Bronx this…

Fantastic day yesterday! It wasn't perfect, so the leather jacket won't be worn today. But we made out extremely well. Today, I have one pick for you in these two MLB games. I also have a Thursday Night Football pick and plenty of props on the podcast. Luis Castillo (RHP, Mariners) [8-6, 2.99 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 167 K] Framber Valdez (LHP, Astros)…

The Rays have had a pretty good home record as well, at 15-9. This looks like one of the most competitive games on the MLB slate tonight, so enjoy the game…

The Yankees have accomplished everything they need to in the regular season. With the American League East in their possession and no chance of catching the Astros for the AL's top seed, the only thing left to play for is a 100-win season. That means they can finally look ahead. The playoffs (and a first-round bye) are now a certainty, and the…

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has history within his grasp. Will tonight be the night he finally ties Roger Maris to claim a share of the American league single-season home run record? It doesn't get much better than this. Aaron Judge is still looking for home run No. 61 on the season, which would tie him with Roger Maris for the all-time American…
