    Analysis

    I think this would be a great spot for Tigers -1 (really, really going to push we add that and NRFI/YRFI in 2027) but in lieu of not having that will go this route. I'll take an early win and take my ball and go home -- yeah right. I'm already looking at the Liverpool-Sunderland friendly tonight from Nashville. Detroit's Casey Mize has a 2.50 home ERA. The Tigers have won three straight and six of eight since the break. They aren't selling now. The Royals definitely are.

    Analysis

    Since giving up nine earned runs to the Reds on May 14th in a 15-1 Nationals loss, Foster Griffin has been one of the best pitchers in baseball. Washington has won 10 of his last 11 starts, with the only loss being a nine run blown lead by the bullpen to San Francisco in June. Griffin has given up exactly one run in eight straight starts. Even though the Diamondbacks are playing very well, I think the Nationals left hander keeps them in check and his team wins the second game of the series on Saturday.

    Analysis

    It's the second game of a weekend series between two teams who expect to be open for business over the next week before the trade deadline. Expect these two rosters to look a lot different come next Saturday. In the meantime, Robbie Ray is 5-1 at home for the Giants with a 2.44 ERA (as compared to a 4.35 ERA away from Oracle Park). Ryan Johnson is 0-3 with a 7.44 road ERA for the Angels. I'll back the home team in a Saturday matinee after Friday night's game ended late into the night.

    Picked: Jul 25 @ 1:43pm

    Analysis

    The Giants just ended a five-game losing streak with the win last night, and they have their best pitcher, Robbie Ray, on the mound going against the Angels, who are 17-35 on the road, which is tied for the worst road record in baseball. Ray has only allowed five runs between his last six starts, and the Giants have won eight of his last 10 starts. The Giants get the win today.

    Bases
    Picked: Jul 25 @ 1:53pm

    Analysis

    Daylen Lile was used for just one pinch hit at bat in yesterday’s loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks. After having Thursday off as a team he is well rested going into the rest of the weekend. On the year he has had three hits or more in six games, with one of those being against the Diamondbacks. In the June series he cleared his combination line two of the three matchups. Take Lile over on his combination line today.
