Starting pitchers are Luke Weaver for the hosts and Zack Wheeler for the visitors. Luke Weaver was a popular target for a breakout season and so far, hasn't disappointed with 3 terrific starts to open the year. However we have to wonder if his early confidence has waned a bit as Weaver is coming off the worst outing of 2018, having allowed 6 runs on 9 hits over 4 IP against the Cubs last Thursday. The Mets have cooled off a bit after their hot start but we still believe this is a dangerous team and should compete with the Nationals for the NL East. Zack Wheeler has put together 2 quality starts but we're not quite convinced yet and he does face a Cardinals team that's hitting the ball well and has won 8 of their last 9. Still, we're having trouble coming to terms with these odds and while Weaver is living up to expectations, the St Louis bullpen is among the worst in the league and to make matters worse, will be without 2 of their more seasoned relievers in Sam Tuivailala and Brett Cecil who are both on the DL. The Mets' Todd Frazier is questionable but all things considered, we have to take the visitors at these odds. We also believe it's more likely than not that both pitchers get knocked around a bit so we see a high scoring game. 2 bets!

Starting pitchers are Ian Kennedy for the hosts and Zach Davies for the visitors. Kennedy has had a surprisingly good start to the season as he enters tonight's matchup with a 2.35 ERA over 4 starts though he did come back down to Earth a bit in his last outing against Toronto, allowing 6 runs (4 earned) on 8 hits over 5 innings pitched and taking the loss. His early success might have been due to the unusually cold weather but in any case, he struggled mightily pitching at his home ballpark last season and the weather appears to be heating up as game time temperatures should be in the 20's (70's F). Zach Davies was the same in that regard as he fared much better on the road than at Miller Park though it hasn't been quite so evident early in the season. But this is still a middling Brewers team that faces a Royals team that's nearly gutted of all its talent the past 2 seasons and bring with them the worst bullpen in the majors by many metrics. Royals have home field advantage but not much else as we rate the Brewers having the better hitters, especially against right handers, better starting pitcher and better bullpen. We have the visitors closer to 1.7!

Starting pitchers are Cole Hamels for the hosts and Andrew Triggs for the visitors. We've spoken on Cole Hamels before and his likely descent and it does appear to be coming to fruition as he has struggled this season with a 1-3 record and 4.76 ERA over 4 starts. Pitching at hitter-friendly Globe Life Park does not help, especially against a hot Oakland team that enters this game having won 6 of their last 7, including taking 2 of 3 from the scorching hot Red Sox over the weekend. Andrew Triggs was hit hard in his last start against the White Sox but he has proven to be a useful starter for the visitors with 3 quality starts prior. Rangers still have important keystone Elvis Andrus on the disabled list along with Rougned Odor and sport one of the worst bullpens in the league. A's to continue their winning ways against an aging Hamels!

Starting pitchers are JA Happ for the hosts and Rick Porcello for the visitors. Porcello has apparently turned back the clock to his magical 2016 Cy Young season as he enters tonight's matchup with a perfect 4-0 record in 4 starts with a sparkling 1.40 ERA and is coming off back to back scoreless performances against the hard-hitting Angels and Yankees. Even more astounding is his home run and walk total which currently sit at 0 and 1 respectively over 25.2 IP. Still we think this is more or less a mirage at this point and the 2017 Rick Porcello is more likely to emerge, especially if the roof is closed as it likely will be with the cold temperatures and wind and rain in the forecast. JA Happ hasn't had anywhere near the early season success of Porcello but he continues to put up strikeouts while keeping the walks low and he faces a Red Sox team that hasn't been at their best against southpaws and in fact were just no-hit over the weekend by another hard throwing lefty in Oakland's Sean Manaea. Josh Donaldson is out for the hosts which does hurt them a bit but Xander Bogaerts remains out for Boston so we consider it honors even in that regard. Blue Jays at home at better than evens are hard to pass up for us in this situation!

Starting pitchers are Vince Velasquez for the hosts and Robbie Ray for the visitors. Velasquez has been a nice surprise for the Phillies as he was expected to be a fringe starter but has turned in 3 quality starts out of 4 tries. Even more remarkably, Velasquez has allowed just 1 home run on the season though he has benefited from drawing the Marlins and the Rays at Tropicana. Needless to say, we believe this isn't sustainable as he has always been prone to the long ball and he will be tested against a lineup that could sport up to 7 left handed bats tonight. On the other side, Robbie Ray had a dream season in 2017 but his ugly walk rate has carried over into this year as he has issued an astounding 14 free passes in 21.2 innings of work. This isn't ideal against a patient Phillies lineup and Ray's style of high numbers of strikeouts and walks leave the bullpen that, while elite, could be stretched thin if pressed into service too early. We see runs for both sides!

BET IS VOID DUE TO POSTPONEMENT Starting pitchers are Alex Cobb for the hosts and Jake Faria for the visitors. It's been a nightmare start to the season with his new team for Alex Cobb as he enters tonight with an astronomical 15.43 ERA as he has failed to get out of the 4th inning in both his starts and allwoed a combined 15 runs (12 earned) on 20 hits over 7 total innings of work. Still, we can cut him some slack as he signed late into spring training and didn't get the necessary preparation. Cobb will also be facing his former team so we expect a bump in his performance in that regard as well. Jake Faria sports a 5.82 ERA on the year but most of the damage came in one bad outing against the Red Sox and has allowed just 1 run in each of his other 3 starts. The Rays offense exploded for 26 runs over the weekend but it was against the poor pitching staff of Minnesota. The Orioles have struggled but we still have faith in their bullpen while not so much for the Rays. All things considered, we see a low scoring game and at these odds, we have to take the hosts as we believe Cobb is much better than he has shown this year.

Starting pitchers are CC Sabathia for the hosts and Jose Berrios for the visitors. The Yankees belted out 13 hits against the beleaguered Minnesota pitching staff as they cruised to a 14-1 victory in Game 1 of this series (and landing our Over 9 bet with ease). It should be a bit more difficult for the Bronx Bombers tonight as they face the young rising star Jose Berrios who is coming off back to back performances allowing 0 runs on 3 hits over 7.0 IP both times. Berrios has been brilliant on the season but he will still be facing a team that's really kicked it into gear hitting-wise. CC Sabathia is getting up there in age but he has proven himself to still be useful as he enters tonight with a 2.70 ERA over 3 starts. While unable to pitch deep into games, he is backed by the best bullpen in the majors and after a rocky start, the relievers too have really come on strong of late. The Twins sport a dangerous lineup but have had their issues against southpaws this year and their window to do damage tonight is even smaller with the aforementioned Yankees bullpen in play. On the other side, the Twins' relievers were beat up badly last night as you would expect and their bullpen as a whole have not fared too well this season. This is a generous price on the hosts!

This bet is on the house - Lokeren coach Peter Maes will be unhappy with his players following the 2-2 draw with Oostende. Afterall, his team were 2-1 up and playing against ten men from 75 minutes onwards. A missed penalty on 80 and a late equaliser were a sad way to finish that game. On a more positive note the Tricolores are still top of the group and unbeaten in four. Furthermore, they won the main season game in this stadium and they are playing a team which fails to use home advantage. In fact, during the main season Antwerp were just 4-7-4 at home, and they took thee more points on the road compared to the Bosuilstadion. To be fair the hosts come into this match on the back of two straight wins, and they do have players returning. With that said, Lokeren are good travellers, and they have the same players available which recently beat Eupen 3-0. Take the visitors in the double chance market!

At about this time last year the German girl went on to qualify and then win Prague, so she has to be taken seriously. However, Barthel is certainly limited, and in Christina McHale she’s found an opponent who’s capable of better tennis.At these odds we are convinced the American is the one to be on here. While the 25 year old struggled through the early part of the season, at least she played at a decent level in both Miami and Charleston. In fact, it took Kasatkina three sets to beat her at that last clay tournament, and in the previous round she sent a good yardstick in Zarina Diyas packing. Christina can certainly play clay. And, proof of that is surface wins against Ivanovic and Karolina Pliskova. We should also add McHale made back to back quarter finals at the Rome masters, that’s the clay box ticked! PS - McHale leads 3-0 on head to heads, so she’s clearly suited by her opponents game.
