YTD: 54-55 (-6.25u)

Cleveland (Cecconi) -112 over Houston (Arrighetti) (2x)
-As mentioned in Sat and Sun's writeups, Houston is just an awful team. They have lost to many pieces from the squads that dominated the last few years. They are now 8-15 (2nd worst record in baseball) and have lost 9 of 11, including 4-straight. In addition, Houston is just 1-9 on the road so far in 2026. In his only start vs Houston, Cecconi delivered a dominant performance against the Astros, pitching seven innings with a career-high nine strikeouts to earn a victory in a 4-2 win. He allowed only one run, holding the Astros at bay until the eighth inning.

ChiCubs (Rea) +105 over Philadelphia (Nola) (2x)
-For whatever reason, the Phillies are just not hitting on all cylinders so far this year. The yare just 8-13 overall and have lost 5-straight and 8 of 10. In addition, they are just 2-7 vs teams above .500. In his only start this year, Colin Rea is 1-0 with allowing 1 run and 2 hits over 5 IP. In Rea's last 3 seasons, he is 25-13 overall with an ERA of 3.95! Meanwhile, Aaron Nola has historically struggled at Wrigley Field going 0-5 with a 6.43 ERA in five starts there and struggled overall in 2026 with a 5-10 record and an ERA of 6.01. Play the Cubs at home as a short dog.

Baltimore (Bradish) vs Kansas City (Lugo) Under 9 (2x)
-The Orioles are coming off a 3-game series where they scored in only 3 out of 27 innings. Today, They face Royals RHP Seth Lugo who has been dynamic so far in 2026, giving up only 4 ER's in 24 1/3 IP for an ERA of 1.48. Lugo has a career record of 1-1 against the Baltimore Orioles with a 2.93 ERA. In addition he has pitched 502.0 innings at home in his career with an ERA of 2.87. Meanwhile, O's pitcher Kyle Bradish has had a mediocre start to the season, but has the advantage of never facing the Royals. Kyle Bradish has a 14-6 career record on the road with a 3.43 ERA. In addition, KC is going to find runs tough to come by, scoring just 3 runs in a 3-game weekend series vs the Yankees and score just 3.22 runs/game so far in 2026. It's gonna take 10 runs to beat us and I just don't see where the runs are going to come from......Play O's/Royals under 9...........
