The Guardians lost the series opener in a walk-off on Friday night and following a rainout on Saturday, lost both sides of a doubleheader on Sunday by 5-4 and 2-1. The series sweep demoted Cleveland 6 games under .500. On  Monday night against the Chicago White Sox, Hunter Gaddis pitched 6 shutout innings permitting only 2 hits and 4 relievers to pitch 3 scoreless innings of one-hit ball to take game one of the series 3-0.

They are under .500 but within shouting distance of Minnesota Twins which is the first position, with the entire division delivering a disappointing performance. Monday night, the White Sox got the opportunity to make ground on Cleveland. But, their bats couldn’t keep up, they got only 3 hits in a 3-0 shutout loss. Four Chicago pitchers banded together to allow only 4 hits and 3 runs but the bats were nowhere to be found as they fell to 19-30 on the season. Dylan Cease will be pitching for the White Sox today.

Dylan went 6.1 innings and permitted 3 runs on 5 hits. He struck out only 3 and walked 1 in the outing, leading to a 3-1 defeat for the White Sox. The most alarming number for Cease this year is his hard-hit percentage. After hanging around the low to mid-30s in his career, he attained nearly 49% hard-hit percentage this year. Additionally, his strikeout percentage dropped to 24% after being over 30% in the last 2 years.

They are performing well offensively and scored 16 runs in their last three away matches.  Fans can expect them to do the same in this game as they have done a good job hitting right-handers and Contreras hasn’t looked great on the mound in recent matches, forfeiting 11 runs in his last three starts. Contreras conceded 13 runs in four home starts and will find it difficult to slow down Arizona in this match. The Pittsburgh Pirates lost five of their eight games and five of their last seven home matches. Except for the first game of this series, they struggled in recent home games, scoring just seven runs in their past four home games. Fans can expect them to have challenges offensively in this game because they struggled against right-handers and Kelly did a good job on the mound, especially on the road where he conceded only three runs in four starts. He forfeited runs in two road starts against the Pirates and will subdue their offense again.

They play well offensively 19 runs in their last four games. Fans can expect the Mariners to play well offensively in this game as Shuster hasn’t performed well on the mound this year.  Shuster conceded four runs in his lone home start and will find it difficult to slow down Seattle in this match. Atlanta lost five of their last eight games. They play well offensively, scoring 16 runs in their last three matches. But, the Braves will struggle offensively in this match as they’ve struggled against right-handers and Kirby did a good job on the mound for the Mariners, especially in away matches where he gave up just 6 runs in 4 starts. He forfeited one run in his lone start against the Braves and will check their offense again.

Betting On The New York Mets 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.648 1XBet Over/Under: Over 8.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.62 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 9 New York started the year with high hopes, but so far that hope has been dashed. Before Monday, they had dropped five of their last eight games and are third in the NL East. At home, the Mets are 7-8, batting .234 as a team, with 15 home runs, four runs scored per game, and 13 perfect stolen base attempts in those home games. Starting pitchers for the Mets, are 13-16 with a 5.28 ERA overall this season, and the bullpen record has been better with a 6-4 record and a 3.78 ERA. Justin Verlander will be starting today, New York hopes he will improve the starting rotation and possibly lead them to an NL Pennant.  Verlander went 18-4 with a 1.75 ERA last season for the Houston Astros and won the AL Cy Young. This year he missed more than the first month of the season and is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA within two starts. In 22 career starts against Tampa Bay, Verlander is 11-5 with a 3.19 ERA, including the postseason, but he has not played against them since 2019. Betting On The Tampa Bay Rays 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.448 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.35 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 9 Tampa Bay hasn’t dropped over two games in a row so far and avoided this by securing an 8-7 victory over the Yankees on Sunday. That victory came with a scare as the final out was delivered on an Aaron Judge deep fly ball that died at the warning track. The Rays’ offense has been excellent. This year they are 19[3 at home this season, but their bats have been particularly strong on the road, where they are 12-8. Outside Tropicana Field, Tampa Bay bat .289, with 41 home runs, and scored 6.3 runs per game which are all leading the big leagues. Wandy Franco (.301 AVG, 7 HR, 23 RBI) and a team-best 2.5 WAR. Randy Arozarena (.320 AVG, 10 HR, 35 RBI) leads the team in RBI and is tied with Yandy Diaz (.321, 10 HR. 24 RBI for the home run lead. Yonny Chirnio (1-1, 2.22 ERA) will start for the Rays today. Chirnio has made just one start this season but has gone for up to five innings in both of his last two innings. The Rays starters are 20-5 with a 2.94 ERA, and the relievers are 10-6 with a 3.41 ERA. MatchPlug Prediction Tampa Bay’s offense is superior, and with the additional rest day, they got, their bullpen is in good shape to obstruct the Mets’ bat. No team has hit balls better in away matches like the Rays have or been more consistent than them. Verlander takes the mound and gives the Mets some hope, but they have been inconsistent this season. The Rays may gain a late-match edge over them.

Betting On The Baltimore Orioles 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.772 1XBet Over/Under: Over 9.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.74 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 9.5 Baltimore maintains a high-level play with speed, defense, and pop, and is close to the top of the AL standings due to this. Entering this series, the Orioles have won four of their past five games: their four-game winning streak and the opportunity to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Monday night when playing against the Angels, Baltimore’s pitching conceded 17 hits and nine runs to Los Angeles and dropped their second straight game in a 9-5 loss. The Orioles will hand the ball to Kremet in game two of the series. He is 4-1 in eight starts this season with an ERA of 4.97. Kremer allowed 48 hits in 41.2 innings so far this season. At home he is 2-0 with a 5.14 ERA in four starts, allowing 21 hits in 21 innings pitched in home starts.  Dean has only a 6.0 K/9 rate at home this season. His hard-hit percentage is up to 47.7% this season after he reduced that number to a career-low 39.3% last season. Betting On The Los Angeles Angels 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.216 1XBet Over/Under: Under 9.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.15 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 9.5 Los Angeles has a big question mark on it, as their chances of making it to the top of the standings grow slimmer, especially with two of the three best baseball players on their roster. When you consider that Shohei Ohtani will become a free agent at the end of this season, that chance becomes non-existent. The Angels enter the series with four out of five games, plus two out of three to the Cleveland Guardians during the weekend. On Monday, in game one of this series, Ohtani pulled out all the stops; seven innings with five strikeouts, also going for 4-for-5 from the plate a double short of the cycle in a 9-5 Angels’ win. Silseth will pitch for the Angels, making a spot start for them. This will be his first season start and fifth appearance overall. He has thrown 8.1 innings in his first four appearances, allowing five hits and three runs. He has struck out three and walked three in that time. Silseth’s longest outing of the year was in his last appearance, going 3.1 innings and permitting five hits and six runs, three of which were earned. Chase made seven starts last season, going 1-3 with a 6.59 ERA. MatchPlug Prediction The Baltimore Orioles has one of the American League’s best home records and has designed their style to fit the large dimensions of Camden Yards. They are 14th in home runs in baseball but are third in walks and third in stolen bases. Due to this, they are a respectable eight in runs scored. Los Angeles on the other hand is just 26th in caught stealing and 21st in walks as a pitching staff.  This game will be one for the bullpens, including Kremer averaging just over five innings per start at home this season and Silseth will make his first start of the season for the Angels and to get past the fourth inning. Keeping this in mind, the advantage in the bullpen will go to the Baltimore Orioles with the 2nd-best bullpen ERA in baseball. Final Prediction: Baltimore Orioles Moneyline.

Joe Pavelski and Max Domi scored 10 goals and seven assists to head the top two lines, but the other members of the offense have been good too.  Roope Hintz, Jamie Benn, and Jason Robertson combined for four goals and 13 assists, while defensemen Thomas Harley and Miro Heiskanen included a goal and eight assists from the point to place the offense over the top. The Stars’ offense has been good but their defense battle to stay afloat, allowing 25 goals in the series. Heiskanen, Ryan Suter and Jani Hakanpaa led the top two pairings but the rest of the unit struggled, allowing Seattle to generate shots on the net at will. Additionally, goaltender Jake Oettinger struggled, permitting 21 goals on 156 shots. Betting On The Seattle Kraken Season Record: 46-28 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Total: Under 5.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.58 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Total: Over 6 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.70 Seattle Kraken tied up the series with the support of an outstanding offense that scored 25 goals in the series with six goals in Game 6. Jordan Eberle, Yanni Gourde and Matthew Beniers scored 10 goals and 10 assists to head the to two lines. The rest of the team’s offense has been good too.  Jaden Schwartz, Eeli Tolvanen and Tye Kartye share seven goals and seven assists, while defensemen Vince Dunn and Justin Schultz added two goals and nine assists from the point to open up the offense. The Kraken’s offense is good, but the defense is struggling, permitting 24 goals in the series. Adam Larsson, Vince Dunn, and Jamie Oleksiak head the top two pairings but the rest of the unit struggle. They allowed the Stars to create scoring chances at will. Additionally, Phillip Grubauer the goalie struggled, failing to save 22 goals on 163 shots. MatchPlug Prediction Seattle proved to be a worthy adversary for Dallas and will want to pull off an upset in Game 7. But, they will step up on the home ice and control this match from the first period.  Dallas on the other hand has scored 24 goals in the series and should bring on the goals with Joe Pavelski, Max Domi, and the other members of the forward unit controlling the puck to create open shots with quick passes.  The Stars will obstruct the Kraken’s offense with Hieskanen, Suter and the other defensive unit members creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shooting lanes. This should give Oettinger space to save plenty of goals to end the game.

They concluded with seven hits, Marcell Ozuna delivered two in the game. Ozuna hit his seventh home run of the year for the Braves in a losing game. Bryce Elder threw five innings and allowed two runs on five hits with one walk and three strikeouts. A.J. Minter took the loss in good faith as he permitted two runs on three hits with no walks and one strikeout in one inning of relief. Charlie Morton takes the hill for his eighth start of the season for the Braves in this matchup. He earned his win in his last start, which was against the Boston Red Sox at home on Tuesday. He threw six innings and allowed two runs on five hits with two walks and seven strikeouts in a game the Braves won 9-3. Morton will be making his 7th career start against the Rangers tonight. MatchPlug Prediction The Atlanta Braves dropped their first road series of the season over the weekend to Toronto and want to change things. Their bullpen has struggled, which was evident last Saturday when Minter got his fifth loss of the season as a reliever.  This could be a problem when going against a Texas team that can put up big numbers offensively. The Rangers have a dangerous lineup, particularly at home, and having potential nine at-bats makes them twice as dangerous.  Dunning has pitched perfectly in his role as substitute for deGrom and he will keep Texas in the matchup until the bats pull off a win.

Betting On The Boston Red Sox 1XBet Spread:+1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.032 1XBet Over/Under: Over 9.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.00 BetMGM Over/Under: Under 10 Boston hasn’t played a good game since the Philadelphia Phillies ended their eight-game winning streak and since then they have lost four of their five games. The team will want to turn the tides with a win over Seattle, to secure their second win in their last six games. The Red Sox are averaging 5.63 runs per game. Their .269 batting average is third in the league. Their .340 on-base percentage is also third, and so is their .450 slugging percentage. Masataka Yoshida is in the lead with a .307 batting average, while Rafael Devers leads the team with 11 home runs and 36 RBI. Boston hasn’t had a good pitching, they gave up 5.15 runs per game. Opponents hold a .261 batting average against the Red Sox, which is 24th in the league. Their 4.92 ERA is 26th, while their 1.35 WHIP is 20th. In Houck’s last start, he conceded five hits and three runs in 5.2 innings, leading to a 6-1 loss to the Phillies. His team will need him to play better if they will win this game. Betting On The Seattle Mariners 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.815 1XBet Over/Under: Under 9.5 BetMGM Spread: -1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 1.83 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 10 Seattle made a comeback from their series loss to Texas with a series win over Detroit last weekend. They will maintain momentum by defeating the Red Sox, gaining their fourth consecutive win and their series lead. The Mariners average 4.38 runs per game. Their .224 batting average is 29th in the league. Their .303 on-base percentage is 24th, while their .373 slugging percentage is 26th. Jared Kelenic leads the team with a .289 batting average and 20 RBI, while Teoscar Hernandez leads the team with eight home runs. Seattle has had a good pitching, they gave up 3.72 runs per game. Opponents have a .226 batting average against them which is third in MLB. Their 3.25 ERA is second, while their 1.14 WHIP is fifth. In Kirby’s last start, he conceded six hits and no runs in seven innings while he struck out nine batters, which led to a 5-0 win over Texas. He will need to recreate this for his team to win. MatchPlug Prediction The Mariners won five of their last seven games and six of their last seven away matches. Their offensive play is good, with 21 runs in their last four games. Fans can expect them to play well offensively in today’s matchup as Houck has struggled on the mound for the Red Sox, forfeiting 13 runs in his last three starts. Houck conceded nine runs in his last two home starts and three runs in his only start against Seattle. Since Boston’s bullpen struggles too, they will find it difficult to slow down the Mariners. They already lost four of their last five games and two of their last three games at home. The Red Sox’s offence is good, securing 13 runs in their last three games. But, they will struggle offensively in this matchup, as Kirby did well on the mound for Seattle, giving up four runs in his last three starts.  He has conceded only five runs in three away starts and since the Mariners have the best bullpen in MLB, they should have an easy time marking Boston’s offense.

Pittsburgh Pirates VS Colorado Rockies brings an end to the three-game set between Pittsburgh and Colorado.  The Rockies (14-22, 5th NL West) will play on the road at PNC Park Wednesday against the Pirates (21-15, 1st NL Central) in what is the third and final game of an ongoing series.

MLB Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.69 Odds provided by 1XBet and BetMGM.

Most of their early season success, including Monday’s victory can be credited to powerful performances on the mound. Pittsburgh has the 10th-best team ERA at 3.78 but dropped to 19th in WHIP at 1.34. The team’s starting rotation is the first place in baseball in Quality Starts with 19 in 36 games, while the pitching staff allows opposing hitters to average .245 at the plate which is 15th. Mitch Keller leads the Pirates in wins with four and in strikeouts with 56. Rich Hill will take the mound today. Hill is 3-3 with an ERA of 4.54 and 32 strikeouts. At the plate, the Pirates are in 14th place in team batting average at .249 and advance to 10th in on-base percentage with .329 and slugging percentage at .420. They scored the 11th most runs with 165. Bryan Reynolds has been most productive at the plate for Pittsburgh with a team-best in doubles with 13 and RBI with 23, while Jack Suwinski the home runs leader has seven. Carlos Santana is second in RBI with 20. The Pirates have hit 74 doubles, 9 triples, and 37 home runs in 36 games. Betting On The Colorado Rockies 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.36 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5 BetMGM Spread: +1.5 BetMGM Moneyline: 2.25 BetMGM Over/Under: Over 8.5 The Colorado Rockies are last position in the National League West and most of this is because of problems on the pitching mound. They have a team ERA of 4.89 which is 25th and is 25th too in WHIP at 1.43. Their starting rotation has had 10 Quality Starts in 36 games which is 18th and the pitching staff allows opponents to average .265 at the plate which is 26th. Ryan Feltner leads Colorado in strikeouts with 33 and Kyle Freeland leads in wins with three. Antonio Senzatela will pitch for the team today. This season Senzatela is 0-1 with an ERA of 1.80 and 3 strikeouts. The Rockies’ strength in this series has been at the plate, but they must step up regardless. They are 13th in team batting average at .254 but dropped to 17th place in slugging percentage with .391 and 19th in on-base percentage at .318. These numbers shelled out 152 runs which is just 16th and playing half their matches at Coors Field; they should be scoring more. C.J. Cron leads Colorado in home runs with six and Kris Bryant is second with five. Elias Diaz leads in RBI with 18 and Cron is second with 16. The Rockies have hit 74 doubles, one triple and 30 home runs in 36 games. MatchPlug Prediction Colorado won six out of its last 8 games and they are 5-1 in the last 6 when playing a team with a winning record. Pittsburgh has struggled lately, losing 7 of its last 8 games and has faced challenges against right-handed starting pitching, losing every of the last five in that situation. The Rockies’ starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela had only one start after opening the season on an injury list. Senzantela conceded only three hits and one run in five innings last Friday in a 1-0 defeat to the New York Mets. He commands all his pitches through five innings but got no support from his team. Rich Hill of the Pirates is off a terrible outing where he allowed 8 runs and 4 runs in 5 ⅓ innings with his team losing 4-0 to the Toronto Blue Jays last Friday. Final Prediction: Pittsburgh Pirates Moneyline.
