The Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees combined for only five runs in a 3-2 Yankees win on Monday. The under is 5-1 in Toronto’s last six games, and they scored more than three runs in only one of those six games. The Yankees are riding a double-digit winning streak fueled by strong …

The Miami Marlins have won six in a row and seven of their last eight. The Seattle Mariners are trending in the opposite direction, having scored a total of only four runs through a three-game losing streak. Both Miami right-hander Sandy Alcantara (2-0, 1.78 ERA) and Seattle right-hander Logan Gilbert (3-0, 0.40 ERA) are off …

I don’t mind laying some juice with the St. Louis Cardinals as they look to bounce back from a 6-2 loss to Arizona on Friday. This season, the Diamondbacks are 2-6 SU off a win, the Cardinals are 5-2 SU off a loss, 3-0 as favorites. Cardinals’ right-hander Miles Mikolas (1-0, 1.21 ERA) is off …

The St. Louis Cardinals won the opener of this four-game series 8-3 on Thursday. I expect way fewer runs tonight with two strong veterans on the mound. The Cards hand the ball to Adam Wainwright (2-2, 3.86 ERA) who owns a 3.28 ERA in 18 career appearances (15 starts) against the Diamondbacks. Arizona hands the …

Max Scherzer has an ERA of 2.76 versus the Cardinals in his career and he held them to one run on 10 hits over 14 innings in two starts against them last season. The Cardinals have a poor .225 batting average against right-handers so far in 2022. Cardinals’ right-hander Miles Mikolas (1-0, 1.76 ERA) is …

The Philadelphia Phillies are only 6-9 on the season, but they’ve picked up four of those wins home at Citizens Bank Park. Phillies’ righty Aaron Nola (1-2, 5.52 ERA) has been solid in his last two starts with five runs allowed on nine hits and 10 strikeouts over 8 2/3 innings. Brewers’ southpaw Eric Lauer …

Both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds were shut out on Thursday, and I think they’ll struggle to produce run when they clash here Friday night in the opener of a three-game set. The Reds have scored two runs or fewer in each of their last six games and Cardinals left-hander Steven Matz …

The New York Mets have won the first three games of this series 5-1, 7-3, and 5-0. Today they hand the ball to Carlos Carrasco who will be looking for a good start to the season after finishing last year 1-5 with a 6.04 ERA. I like Carrasco’s and the Mets chances of winning here …

  The Miami Heat are coming off four straight wins, the three most recent tough road triumphs at Boston, Chicago and Toronto. The Heat are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite, and I would not be surprised to see them come out a bit flat here against a Charlotte team …

Each of the last four meetings between the Blazers and the Spurs has gone under the total. They combined for 197 points when they clashed on December 2 and 229 points just over a week ago. The Blazers are theoretically still in playoff contention, but they are extremely shorthanded due to injuries, and they’ve not …
