Finnegan-Reds
Perez-Texas
Hill-A's
Pomeranz-Padres
Rusin-Rockies
Liriano-Pirates


Liriano

Francisco Liriano (3-2, 4.99) scuffling after he surrendered eight runs and nine hits - including three homers - over 4 2/3 innings in Friday's 9-4 loss at Wrigley Field. It was the second-most earned runs he's given up behind a 10-run, 12-hit dud over 2 1/3 at Coors Field in August 2013.
Liriano said.The left-hander has gone 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA while limiting the Braves to two runs or less in three of his four career meetings. Freddie Freeman is 3 for 4 in the matchup, but Jeff Francoeur and Beckham are a combined 4 for 39.


Gonzalez

Gio Gonzalez (2-1, 1.93 ERA) has been even better throughout his career there. The left-hander has gone 6-1 with a 1.54 ERA in 11 starts at Citi, giving him a 9-4 record and 2.66 ERA with 104 strikeouts in 101 1/3 innings over 17 career starts against the Mets.
Gonzalez rebounded from his worst start of the season May 7, when he allowed five runs in 5 2-3 innings of an 8-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs, by throwing five innings and allowing no earned runs in a 5-3 victory over Miami on Friday.
Ben Revere is batting .381 (8 for 21) against Colon, while Jayson Werth is 4 for 9 with a pair of doubles in the matchup.
The Mets' Juan Lagares is 10 for 26 with three doubles, a triple and a homer against Gonzalez.


Price

Price (5-1, 6.00 ERA) was scheduled to start Tuesday but was pushed back after Monday's rainout. He's coming off one of his best starts in a Red Sox uniform, allowing a season-low one run and striking out 12 in 6 2/3 innings of an 11-1 win over Houston on Thursday.
The left-hander gave up six runs in each of his previous two outings.
Price is 0-1 with a 5.49 ERA in his last three starts against the Royals, including Games 2 and 6 in last year's ALCS with Toronto. He'll oppose Edinson Volquez, who is coming off a solid outing of his own.

Only 2 Lefties on the bump today

Sale-White Sox
Locke-Pirates


Sale vs McHugh


Sale (8-0, 1.67 ERA) has struck out 53 and not punched out more than nine in any appearance this year.
Arizona's Brandon Webb was the last pitcher to win his first nine in 2008.
Sale struck out six without a walk and yielded a second-inning homer during his second complete game of 2016 in Friday's 7-1 victory at Yankee Stadium.
Sale, who can become the first White Sox pitcher since Eddie Cicotte in 1919 to win his first nine starts, has allowed two earned runs, fanned 47 and walked four over 32-plus innings while going 3-1 against Houston (17-24).

These Astros, however, will try to win three in a row for the first time and hand the White Sox (24-16) their first sweep of 2016. Jose Altuve had three hits with two RBIs in Wednesday's 5-3 victory for Houston, which recorded back-to-back road wins for the first time to open this three-game set.
Altuve is 18 for 41 with 10 runs scored and seven RBIs in 10 games. He's batting .357 in 14 at-bats against Sale.
Suburban Chicago native Collin McHugh (4-3, 5.58) won three straight starts before he allowed four runs, 10 hits and three walks in six innings of a 6-5, 11-inning loss at Boston on Saturday. The right-hander has an 8.74 ERA in three road starts.
His only previous appearance against the White Sox came two years ago this week.
Adam Eaton is hitless in three at-bats against McHugh, but is batting .375 in his last 12 games.



Locke vs Foltynewicz

Three straight quality starts were promising for Locke (1-3, 5.45 ERA), but he took a step back in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. The left-hander gave up six hits and six runs in 5 1/3 innings while coughing up a pair of home runs.
He walked two and struck out only three, leaving his strikeout-to-walk ratio at an NL-worst 1.19.
Locke held the Cubs to one single through three innings and was staked to a 2-0 lead after Pittsburgh's half of the fourth. He coughed it up immediately, though, with two hits and two walks leading to three Cubs runs before an out was recorded in the bottom half of the inning.
Pittsburgh hasn't won a Locke start against Atlanta since his first appearance against the Braves in October 2012. He holds a 6.31 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in five starts since. The Braves have hit .276 against the southpaw with five home runs, though none came from current Atlanta hitters.
Mike Foltynewicz is tasked with carrying over Teheran's success into the finale.

Foltynewicz (1-1, 2.89) has made three starts since being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett and has taken major strides in each.
After lasting just 3 2/3 innings and allowing four runs in his season debut, the right-hander's numbers drastically improved his last two starts. He tossed seven sharp innings with two runs allowed on five hits with a career high-tying eight strikeouts in a 5-3, 11-inning loss to Arizona on May 8 before tossing eight scoreless innings during Saturday's 5-0 win at Kansas City.
Foltynewicz picked up his first win since Aug. 8 - a stretch of five games in which he received one run of support - by limiting the Royals to seven hits in the longest outing of his three-year career.
The 24-year-old became the first Atlanta pitcher to toss at least eight shutout innings with no walks since Alex Wood on Aug. 31, 2014.

Sabathia-Yankees
Quintana-White Sox
Kazmir-Dodgers
Friedrich-Padres
Corbin-D'Backs
Matz-Mets
Nicolino-Marlins


Quintana vs Gee

Kansas City (20-20) has dropped 12 of 15 on the road but opens this six-game trip after going 4-2 against Atlanta and Boston at Kauffman Stadium.
"It makes us feel like we're getting on the right track and looking forward going to Chicago," said manager Ned Yost, whose club sits third in the Central, 4 1/2 games behind the White Sox.
Kansas City won three in a row before falling 5-2 in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Red Sox.
Eric Hosmer went 0 for 4 in that contest but is batting .363 on the road this season. He's hit .375 with two home runs and five RBIs in his last five games at U.S. Cellular Field, where the Royals have won 21 of 28.
Hosmer, though, is 10 for 50 with two homers and 11 strikeouts against Quintana (5-2, 1.54 ERA). Salvador Perez is hitting .378 with two home runs in 45 at-bats against the left-hander.

Though Quintana's stretch of four straight winning starts ended Saturday at Yankee Stadium, he yielded both runs in the second inning and lasted seven in the 2-1 defeat.
"He had one inning that ends up tripping him up, but he's sharp as usual," manager Robin Ventura said. "That's just what you expect out of him.
Stuff like that is going to happen. It doesn't change anything for him. He's still going to be a great pitcher, and he's going to give you the same effort the next time out.

Quintana is 1-6 with a 4.27 ERA in 18 starts against the Royals, but that victory came in his only decision over six matchups in 2015.
He'll look to help Chicago (25-16) build on Thursday's 2-1 win over Houston that snapped its four-game losing streak. Ace Chris Sale recorded his third complete game this season to become the first pitcher since 2008 to win his first nine starts.
It was Chicago's second win in eight games.
"9-0 is cool," Sale said. "I enjoy it. I enjoy snapping the skid we were in even moreso than that."
The White Sox get their first look at Dillon Gee (0-1, 3.12), who allowed three runs, six hits and walked three in 5 1/3 innings of his first start since June 14 in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Braves. Gee, who took Chris Young's spot in the rotation, made seven relief appearances before getting the chance to start.
"I was (accustomed to starting), but I was earning a role down in the bullpen and doing good down there," said Gee, who was almost exclusively a starter in his six seasons with the New York Mets.
"I got the opportunity to start and we'll just go from there."
Ex-Phillie Jimmy Rollins is 14 for 31 with two homers against Gee. Former Red Todd Frazier also went deep for one of his three hits in six at-bats against the right-hander.


Matz

Matz (5-1, 2.86 ERA), who's won a career-best five straight starts. The left-hander gave up two runs and six hits in six innings of a 4-2 win at the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 9, then missed a start because of elbow tightness.
But after a successful bullpen session and a clean MRI, he said he's ready to go.
"It was definitely a big relief," said Matz, who could be relied on for a lengthy outing after the bullpen put in 10 2/3 innings in New York's last two games against Washington.
Things haven't gone well without him. After Thursday's 9-1 loss to the Nationals, the Mets (22-18) are 2-7 since his last start, though plenty of that falls on the offense. New York is batting .203 in that span with 2.1 runs per game.
Granderson is batting .143 in 17 games this month, while Lucas Duda is hitting .158 in his last 12.


Santiago

3-2 3.42 He was fantastic Sunday, outdueling Felix Hernandez while giving up two hits in a career high-tying eight innings of a 3-0 win at Seattle. He pitched fewer than six in each of his previous three outings.

'I feel like if I'm in that situation then I'm pitching good and getting zeros,' Santiago said. 'If they get 10 hits and I put up six or seven zeros I'm happy just the same.'
The left-hander has a 2.57 ERA in three starts and three relief appearances against the Orioles, but he hasn't faced them since 2014.
Adam Jones (4 for 10), Chris Davis (2 for 8), Mark Trumbo (1 for 8) and Nolan Reimold (2 for 4) have all homered off Santiago.

Lester vs Cain

Lester 4-2, 1.88gave up one run and a season-low two hits while striking out nine in 6 2/3 innings of a 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday. It was the sixth time in his eight starts that he's allowed one run or none.

The left-hander took a no-hitter into the seventh before giving up the go-ahead RBI double.
'I tried to go in and didn't locate,' Lester said. 'That's a tough one, but you've got to look at the other 100-and-whatever pitches I threw that were pretty good. I feel like I found my curveball a little bit, and that will definitely help me as we keep going.'
Lester has won each of his three starts against the Giants with a 1.11 ERA, including a 7-3 win Aug. 7 in his only outing against them with the Cubs.

San Francisco (25-19) had won eight in a row and was the hottest team in baseball before running into Jake Arrieta in Friday's series opener. He held the Giants to one run and four hits through seven innings while dealing them an 8-1 defeat.
Buster Posey went 0 for 4, snapping his four-game hitting streak. He's 4 for 11 against Lester in his career.
The Cubs (29-11) snapped out of a 3-5 slump by matching the amount of runs they scored over their previous four. Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler and Ben Zobrist - who extended his hitting streak to seven games - homered, but the status of Jason Heyward is uncertain.
Heyward left in the bottom of the first with an apparent abdominal injury after making a diving catch and crashing into the wall head-first.



Niese

The lefthander had a 5.94 ERA through his first six starts in a Pittsburgh uniform, allowing a .309 batting average. The damage could have been worse if he hadn't limited opponents to a .268 average with runners in scoring position.
He made two quality starts in those six but has done that in each of his last two outings. He allowed the leadoff man to reach in the first four innings Monday against Atlanta but escaped each time, ultimately allowing two runs in his sixth and final inning in an 8-5 win.
Niese credited pitching from the stretch in bullpen sessions for helping limit his last two opponents to 1 of 13 with men on second or third.



Happ vs Dean

Toronto (21-23) had lost four straight before winning the first two of this four-game set on Thursday and Friday. After a 3-2, 11-inning win in the opener, Jose Bautista, Josh Donaldson, Michael Saunders and Darwin Barney homered in Friday's 9-3 victory to hand Minnesota (10-31) its fifth straight loss and 17th in 20 games.
"We're trying to find ways the best we can," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "It's challenging. These guys are hungry to win games, and it's just not happening."
Happ (5-1, 3.40 ERA) was cruising through the early portion of the season before running into Tampa Bay on Monday. The southpaw suffered his first loss, surrendering a season-high eight runs in a season-low two innings. The Rays tagged him for seven hits, including a pair of two-run homers, to push his ERA up from 2.05 to 3.40.
"I was pulling my two-seam fastball," Happ told MLB's official website. "I pulled two kind of middle-in for the two home runs, and I wasn't hitting on my other pitches (Monday night). I felt good in the bullpen, nothing was different. I just didn't execute, and it got away from me quick."
The 10-year veteran will try to pull things in quickly and reverse some bad fortune against the Twins. Happ hasn't made it out of the fourth inning in each of his last two starts against them, surrendering 15 hits and 11 runs - nine earned - in seven innings. He gave up four home runs in those outings while Minnesota batted .417 against him.

The Twins hit three homers and scored seven times off Happ in 3 1/3 innings of a 9-5 win in Minnesota on July 30. Brian Dozier is 3 for 7 with two home runs and three RBIs against Happ, and Eddie Rosario has doubled and homered with three RBIs in two at-bats.
Minnesota will counter with Pat Dean (0-1, 4.50), who gets his first start after making his first two big league appearances out of the bullpen this month. The 26-year-old left-hander gave up 14 hits and four runs in eight innings between the two outings, including 10 hits and a pair of runs in 5 1/3 during Monday's 10-8 loss at Detroit.
The last relief appearance was essentially a start, and opening games is where Dean is more comfortable. He had made only four appearances out of the bullpen in his pro career before getting called up earlier this month, all coming in rookie ball in 2010.
Dean entered Monday's contest with only two outs recorded in the first inning and ended up throwing 91 pitches, the most by a Twins reliever since Liam Hendriks tossed 99 on Sept. 27, 2013.


Smyly

Smyly (2-4, 3.44 ERA), meanwhile, has gone 10-7 with a 2.80 ERA in 27 starts since landing in Tampa Bay at the 2014 trade deadline. He only made 12 starts last season because of shoulder problems, but he's remained healthy since coming off the DL on Aug. 16.

More recently, the left-hander limited Toronto to a run and four hits in five innings of Monday's 13-2 win but walked four. Still, it was an acceptable recovery from his worst start of the season six days before as he gave up six runs and 10 hits in five innings of a 6-4 loss in Seattle.
He walked five once back in 2014, but that was his only time over three before this.
"Just lost it," Smyly told MLB's official website. "It's just one of those things. It doesn't happen much. I take pride in throwing a lot of strikes and not walking guys. I don't know if I've ever walked four people in a game in my whole career. But I was just a little out of whack."

He's faced his old club once, which didn't go so well. Smyly gave up four runs and seven hits with two home runs in five innings of a 5-4 loss in Detroit on Sept. 7, though he escaped without a decision.
Ian Kinsler (4 for 10) and James McCann (2 for 2) have homered off him, but Miguel Cabrera, J.D. Martinez and Jose Iglesias are all 0 for 3.


Ramos

Rangers will counter with Cesar Ramos (0-2, 4.32), who has replaced A.J. Griffin in the fifth spot of Texas' rotation and will make his third start.
The left-hander held Toronto to just one run on seven hits in Sunday's 7-6 win, though he lasted only 4 1/3 innings.

Ramos pitched well but was pulled after loading the bases with one out in the fifth. His performance was lost in a game that featured a brawl ignited by a punch thrown from Rougned Odor to the Blue Jays' Jose Bautista.

Ramos has faced the Astros often in his career, though all 10 appearances came out of the bullpen - including eight in Houston. He has given up just seven hits and two earned runs in 12 1/3 innings overall, walking two and striking out 11.
Colby Rasmus is the only hitter with much success against Ramos, going 3 for 7 with a pair of walks.

Miley-Seattle


Hamels vs Keuchel

Hamels (4-0, 3.10 ERA) can tie the club mark with a 12th consecutive winning decision. He was unable to reach the milestone in his last two starts despite pitching reasonably well in both, surrendering three earned runs each time over 12 1/3 innings.
Home runs hurt the left-hander in those starts, as he surrendered five after giving up four in his first six outings. He'll try to avoid the long ball as he tries to match Bobby Witt's franchise-record 12-0 stretch in 1990.

Hamels beat Houston 2-1 at home April 20 with 6 2-3 innings of one-run ball.

Evan Gattis, Jose Altuve, Colby Rasmus and Tyler White have combined to bat .375 against Hamels with five home runs. Gattis hit two of those homers while Altuve has one while going 5 for 9.
Houston has dropped three straight and is last in the AL West, due in large part due to a floundering rotation that's produced a 4.85 ERA. Keuchel (2-5, 5.43) has been one of the primary culprits, failing to duplicate the precision that earned him the Cy Young Award last year.
After issuing 1.98 walks per nine innings during that 20-win season, the left-hander has more than doubled that mark through his first eight starts of 2016. The lack of command has made him far more hittable, as evidenced by a six-start winless streak in which he's 0-4 with a 7.32 ERA.

The Astros had lost his previous five outings before winning 6-5 in his most recent Tuesday, with Keuchel holding the Chicago White Sox to three runs in 6 1/3 innings. He walked three for the second straight start.
"Overall, I felt really good, command-wise," Keuchel told MLB's official website. "Before that seventh inning, got a little tired."
Keuchel's winless stretch started with a 7-4 loss at Texas on April 21 in which he gave up six runs and a season-high 13 hits in six innings. He's been hammered in two of his last three starts in the series, giving up 15 runs over 10 2/3 innings in those games.
After scoring 32 runs in their previous five games, the Astros have managed one in each of their last three. The top four batters in the lineup were 1 for 14 with five strikeouts Saturday with leadoff hitter Jose Altuve going 0 for 4 to end a 12-game hitting streak.

'They are keeping us off the barrel a little bit, and the ones we are hitting aren't finding the holes,' outfielder Colby Rasmus said.
Elvis Andrus and Adrian Beltre have faced Keuchel more than anyone else in the major leagues, with Andrus hitting .227 in 44 at-bats and Beltre at .256 in 43 ABs with three doubles and a home run.
Ian Desmond, Prince Fielder and Rougned Odor have also homered off Keuchel.


Garcia

Garcia (3-3, 2.86) surrendered three earned runs and eight hits while opposing Greinke in April, but couldn't make it out of a nine-run sixth inning that turned the game around for Arizona. Jean Segura had three hits off Garcia, while Welington Castillo and David Peralta each added two.

Paul Goldschmidt and Nick Ahmed had four of the team's eight hits Saturday and Rickie Weeks Jr. finally got Arizona on the board with a two-run homer in the ninth inning.
"(We) got a little moment back," Hale said. 'Hopefully it will translate into a good start tomorrow, but we have to be ready to go.'
The Diamondbacks (20-25), who have dropped seven of 10, have totaled 11 runs and batted .228 in losses but have scored 28 and hit .360 in wins over the past nine.
Segura is hitting .346 in 26 career at-bats versus Garcia and newcomer Michael Bourn has gone 7 for 14. After allowing no earned runs over 14 innings in winning two consecutive starts, he gave up three and walked four over five innings in Tuesday's 3-1 home loss to Colorado.
Garcia is 5-0 with a 2.94 ERA in six career starts against the Diamondbacks.


Rodon

Carlos Rodon (1-4, 4.73) has never faced Kansas City or any of its hitters.
Rodon is 0-3 with a 6.06 ERA in his last six outings after giving up three runs in six innings of a 6-5 defeat to Houston. He didn't get the loss, but the White Sox have dropped his last four starts.

Kansas City's Paulo Orlando could be back in the lineup after he rested Saturday. He's 10 for 18 in a six-game hit streak.
Chicago's Jimmy Rollins didn't start Saturday but is expected back in the lineup for the finale.


Bumgarner

Bumgarner (5-2, 2.45 ERA) has posted a 1.69 ERA while going 4-1 in his last six starts. The best effort of that stretch came Tuesday when the left-hander struck out 11 and yielded a ninth-inning homer in a 5-1 victory at San Diego.
who has struck out at least 10 in two of three outings, believes he can be better.

"I feel like there's about 10 different things that's different than the way I want it," he said. "Obviously, it's working well the way it is. I'm about to give it up and stick with what I'm doing now. It seems to be working better anyway.

"I mean, the body feels good and my command's good, so ultimately that's all that matters."
Since the start of the 2013 season, Bumgarner hasn't had much to complain about while going 3-0 with a 1.95 ERA in four starts against Chicago. He allowed a run and two hits while striking out 12 in six innings of a 9-1 home victory over the Cubs on Aug. 27.

I like 3 games a lot this means either a big rally or off into oblivion.

1st 5 innings over 4 Texas -$120 $2,400/$2,000
1st 5 innings under 4.5 White Sox -$120
$2,400/$2,000
Game Texas +$130 $3,000/$3,900
Texas team total over 3.5 -$135
$2,700/$2,000
Game White Sox under 8.5 +$100
$2,000/$2,000
1st 5 innings Giants -$130 $7,800/$6,000
 
Lefty, I was hoping we were going to be agreeing on all but I could not play the WS today as much as i wanted to. White Sox lineup is only hitting .176 against Ventura with a combined five RBI’s in 68 at bats so I am confident he will get back on track in this one. Also Rodon has a 5.68 ERA at home this season and the White Sox as a whole haven’t been playing well lately. While KC is more in line for regression today, I think the Royals will win this one behind a good performance from Ventura....so i left both sides alone

BOL as Always my friend
 
A VERY happy recap:

WIN 1st 5 innings Texas over 4 +$2,000
WIN 1st 5 innings under 4.5 White Sox +$2,000
WIN game Texas +$3,900
WIN Texas team total over 3.5 +$2,000
WIN White Sox under 8.5 +$2,000

5-0
+$11,900

Now I've got a major decision to think about. Do I take this great day & start capping Monday's card. That means cancelling who I feel is my best bet with the Giants.
Or just go with it, if I lose I still win $4,100

Any advice I'd gladly listen to
