Seven MLB afternoon games today. Who 'ya got?
| Away | Home | Away Probable | Home Probable |
| Braves | Nationals | Soroka (10-2) | Sanchez (6-6) |
| Pirates | Reds | Agrazal (2-1) | Castillo (9-4) |
| D-backs | Yankees | Greinke (10-4) | Tanaka (7-6) |
| Blue Jays | Royals | Waguespack (1-1) | Junis (6-9) |
| Dodgers | Rockies | Ryu (11-2) | Marquez (10-5) |
| Tigers | Angels | Norris (2-8) | Suarez (2-1) |
Braves -128 +118 favorite over Washington.
Lean Atlanta with wonder boy Soroka over Dirty Sanchez.
Both money line and run line are a consideration.
Pirates +186 -206 underdog vs. Reds.
No play here, price is too expensive.
Castillo however in on another planet against Agrazai.
Dario has a little game but HR to K ratio is not very good in that park.
There will be times to use Agrazai as a live dog, this isn't one of them.
Pass.
Diamondbacks +121 -131 underdog vs. Yankees
Greinke vs. Tanaka
Your premier matchup of the afternoon.
Yanks have been playing subpar lately, Greinke having a Cy Young type season.
I like Greinke as a live dog in this spot
Blue Jays +118 underdog vs. Royals.
Junis (KC) when on is filthy, but he's hit or miss.
Waugespack (Tor) is not very dependable, he's a rookie and could develop into a decent rotation starter.
I can't play these two sub par teams, KC would be the play but I'm taking a pass here.
Dodgers -130 +120 favorite vs. Rockies
Ryu and the fancy Dodgers are clearly the better team here.
Having said that the Rockies can look like the '27 Yankees at times at home.
Lean Dodgers or pass, I don't trust games in Denver or Marquez, I pass
Tigers +170 -180 underdogs vs. Angels
Tigers are American League bottom feeders start Danny Norris.
He's a left handed starter who's having a piss-poor season.
Angels start left handed Jose Marquez who isn't much better.
Difference here is Detroit is dead last in hitting vs. LHP (30th out of 30)
And depending on which metric you use Angels are a top ten hitting team vs. LHP.
Price is too much but Angels should cruise here. Pass.
