Cappers Sports Picks

Texas now on a six-game win streak after their opening series win over the Twins on Friday, 8-1. Yovani Gallardo will start today for the Rangers. Gallardo makes just his second start of the season. In his first, he went five innings, gave up six hits and five runs. The Twins have allowed 17 runs in their last two games. Jake Odorizzi will start today with a 3-4 record and 4.38 ERA. Odorizzi has allowed 16 runs over his last four starts for the Twins. This one should be high scoring with two poor pitchers on the hill. Play the OVER.

 Arizona has taken both games from Pittsburgh to open this four-game series. The D'backs have outscored the Bucs, 11-4. They will start Zack Grienke today who is 6-5 on the season with a 3.90 ERA and 1.167 WHIP. Pittsburgh will try and snap its three game losing streak today with Joe Musgrove on the hill. Musgrove is 2-2 with a 3.68 ERA and 1.262 WHIP. Musgrove has three quality starts in his six outings. Pittsburgh has scored three runs or less in each of its last four games. I don't expect many runs again here today. Play the UNDER.

 Phillies have now won three straight after their blowout win over the Nationals on Friday, 12-2. The Phils will start Aaron Nola today. Nola is 8-2 with a 2.55 ERA and 1.007 WHIP. Washington has been in a slump, winning just two of their last eight games and three of their last 10 games. Erick Fedde will make just his fourth start this year. Fedde is 0-2 with a 5.63 ERA and 1.375 WHIP. Fedde has not allowed under three runs in any of his three starts. I like the Phillies to take game two here today. They have been playing very well and have the better pitcher on the hill. Play Philadelphia.

The Angels look to extend their three-game win streak tonight against the Blue Jays. The Angels improved to 41-35 after their recent wins. Jaime Barria will get the start today for the Halos. Barria is 5-3 in his nine starts with a 3.57 ERA. Barria had his worst start of the season last time out, allowing six runs over just four innings. Toronto has lost three of its last four games to drop to 34-41 on the season. They will start Marcus Stroman today who is 0-5 on the season. Stroman hasn't started since May 8th. Stroman has not pitched well, with a 7.71 ERA and a 1.714 WHIP. The Angels should have a big edge here at home over Stroman. Play the home team, play the Angels.
