The Padres look to split their two game home series with the Mariners after losing on the 4th 2-8. While in the grand scheme of things Tatis Jr. is still out and the four game series with the Giants may be of more pressing importance my pick is Padres -125.

The Rangers and Orioles lit up the scoreboard in their first of 7 meetings this year as Baltimore won on a hit batter 7-6. I think their may be more runs in store for today my pick is over 9.5

The Guardians lost both games of a double header on the 4th to the home town Tigers. Detroit now 5-2 vs. the division contending Guardians for the year. My pick is Cleveland gets one game back Guardians -145.

The White Sox had their chances as they had an early lead and lost that on a 2 run homer, then tied it at 2 taking it to extras. That’s when the Twins got win number 4 and zero losses for the year against the defending central champs. 15 more matchups between the two clubs this year, and while with Archer on the mound for the Twins the pitching matchup may favor the Twins, my pick is the White Sox -126.

The heavy price tag on the Blue Jays was to be only a fools bet in game 1. The A’s now 2-2 vs. the Blue Jays this year. Two game left to play at Oakland after the 1-5 loss on the 4th maybe the Blue Jays come back and play better on the 5th, my pick Toronto -177

Best of the rest Mets -200, Phillies -165, Cardinals +1.5
