It is a bit juicy and they only will get 24 outs to use it but boy that Rangers TT is tempting.

Davies has been throwing batting practice and the Brewers can't hit lefties.

All over those cubbies at home today

One of my queries uses how many wins the opposition has had in their last 10 games I.e. how well a team has been playing their past 10 games. This is the 1st start for Alexander in which he is facing a team that has not won 5 or more in their last 10. It’s one of the reasons I’m backing the Tigers today as finally Alexander faces a team that has not been playing particularly well. Could be something. Could be nothing . We’ll see.

Ump might make a big difference in the Cubs game but Quintana on 4 days rest is clearly better so I would have to lean there

 

[tuck321]

According to Action Network Tumpane is ump 6 innings with Davies no runs Quintana 2-0 3.38 18 innings so I quess you take Cubs

Let's also not forget Quintana's utter dominance over Milwaukee in his career

Okay, fair enough...and you are much better at this than me.

Really want to play Boston. May not be able to as Paxton on 6+ 23.1 innings 2.31

My queries said to play NYY but I could not find any backing trends for Paxton...I think you found it.

 

[peelpub94]

I find the BOS/NYY match up to be uncappable.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Good call today @brewers888

 

[T-Rex]

Cubbies were money. I think Minnesota with Sparkman on the road looks excellent as well. Anybody got anything? Gonna hope Det wins tonight and then I will fade them the rest of the series. Lynn has played pretty well though
