The St. Louis Cardinals are favored at home on Thursday night as they host the Kansas City Royals. This is the finale of a four-game series as the first two were in Kansas City and the last two in St. Louis.

 

ATS Stats

 

The Royals should be sending Chris Young in this game while the Cardinals go with Mike Leake. Young has not pitched well this season as he comes into this game at 2-7 with a 6.54 ERA while Leake is 5-5 with a 4.25 ERA. The Royals and Cardinals had split their last ten meetings before this series began with five of the last seven going under the total. The teams had also split their last ten in St. Louis.

Miami Marlins vs. Detroit Tigers June 28, 2016 Prediction

Adam Conley has been up and down this season but his coming from his best start of the entire year and his best two starts combined.  Last time out, he pitched eight innings of shut out ball while allowing only four hits. He got the win in a 3-0 victory over the Braves.  Which was preceded by an endeavor where he only went 5.2 innings but he only threw in the towel one hit and one run.  So in his last two starts, he has pitched 13.2 innings and allowed only five hits.  That's pretty impressive.  Overall, he is 4-4 with a 3.56 ERA, but I believe he may be sitting on a great second half and the Marlins will be needing it should they hope to keep up with the Mets and Nationals.

 

Adam Conley has looked great in his last two starts.  He has the stuff and now it's all coming together.  I expect a huge second half performance from him and I believe he's going to offer another superb outing on Tuesday.  Let's take the Marlins on the road.

Indians vs Braves June 28, 2016 Prediction

Atlanta has been playing a bit better of late, but nonetheless most of which was vs the Mets and the Indians are a far better team than them right now. Cleveland has huge edges on offense and on the mound in that one and it is just quite difficult to see them losing this game and they might not lose a game title in this series. 

Atlanta went 15-18 vs their division up to now, but just 11-31 vs the remaining portion of the league and they are just 11-29 at home so far. The Indians have dominated their division and have already been right around .500 vs the remaining portion of the league, but this can be a series that they can really pad their record with and I don't see them failing to complete so. Take the Tribe here.

MLB Predictions - Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays June 28, 2016

The Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays play Game 2 of their series later tonight with Rick Porcello and Chris Archer each looking to notch a win in their last starts of the month.

 

Where: Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg

 

When: Tuesday, June 28, 2016, 7:10 PM ET

 

Line: Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays – view all MLB lines

 

TV Broadcast: ESPN

 

For all the season, the Red Sox have relied on the offense to carry them to victories. They might need their batters to go nuts at the plate again later tonight with the struggling Rick Porcello (8-2, 3.93 ERA) pitching.

 

Porcello's numbers have continued to worsen following an impressive April in which he went 5-0 with a 2.76 ERA in five starts. Since then, Porcello went 2-2 (4.65 ERA) in May and 1-0 with a 4.45 ERA this month. In his most recent start, Porcello allowed four earned runs on eight hits in 5.1 innings of an 8-7 win over the White Sox on June 23.

 

Obviously, the offense saved Porcello from picking up a loss because game and the Red Sox look to produce the righty with an ample level of runs for him to manage.

 

 

So far this season, Porcello is getting 7.28 RS/9 from Boston’s offense.

 

David Ortiz is a prime candidate to deal damage to Tampa Bay later tonight, considering his excellent 11-for-29 (.379) career batting line with three doubles and 14 RBI against Rays starter Chris Archer.

 

Boston is 6-1 in its last seven games against the Rays when Chris Archer is the starter.

 

Not much is certainly going Chris Archer's way this season. He's 4-10 with a 4.70 ERA. He's picked up a loss in each of his past three starts, which includes the 6-1 loss to Cleveland on June 22, wherein Archer allowed four earned runs on six hits in six innings of action.

 

Facing Boston's deadly offense later tonight, Archer will need to come right into Game 2 in top form. What's more troubling for the Rays is which they can't even say with a straight face which they trust their bullpen to silence Boston once it's the relievers start the mound. Tampa Bay's bullpen is 24th in the majors with a 4.33 ERA and owns the third-highest home-run-per-nine-innings ratio with 1.92.

 

Tampa Bay's hitters, however, can jump in early stages Porcello to back Archer some runs. Porcello has been bad in the first innings, as he has a 4.20 ERA in first innings, 3.60 ERA in second innings, and 6.00 ERA in third innings.

 

 

Logan Forsythe is 5-for-14 (.357 ) lifetime with a triple and two walks against Porcello

MLB Picks - Blue Jays vs Rockies Monday, June 27th, 2016

Colorado continues to truly have a rough time and around this writing they had lost two of the first three games within their series vs the Diamondbacks. As always at home it's their pitching that struggles and they allowed 22 runs in the first three games of the series and the Rockies now have a 6.35 ERA at home, that is the worst home ERA mark in the league. That is clearly a reason they are under .500 here at Coors. Oh sure their offense averages over six runs per game at home, but their pitching continues to be quitting more. Arizona is 29th in the league in home ERA at 5.28 so you can see just how bad this staff is here at home.

 

The Talk of this series could be the return of Troy Tulowitzki, but his replacement Trevor Story is having a heck of an initial year up to now and it will soon be fun to see who has the better series. Story is hitting .266 with 18 homers and 49 RBIs thus far, while Tulo is hitting just .217, with 10 homers and 28 RBIs. Looks just like the Rockies have the better player at SS right now.  

 

The Rockies enter this game ranked 3rd in the league in scoring, putting up 5.24 rpg, while also ranking 3rd in hitting at .274 and 6th in homers with 98. The Rockies have hit .297 overall at home, including .288 vs lefties. Colorado has averaged 5.97 rpg and have allowed 6.74 rpg at home for the year. On the mound they have not been good at all as they come in ranked 28th in the league in ERA at 5.05 while also ranking 27th in WHIP at 1.43. At home Colorado starters have an ERA of 6.33, while their pen has an ERA of 6.38. Toeing the rubber for the Rockies will be Jon Gray, who has gone 4-3 with a 4.80 ERA in 12 starts this year, including 0-1 with a 3.71 ERA in his last three starts and 2-0 with a 5.02 ERA in five starts here at home. Gray is now 2-1 with a 6.39 ERA in 10 starts here at Coors in his career and 1-0 with a 4.70 ERA in three career interleague starts. This is his first meeting with the Blue Jays.

 

I like the pitching edge that the Blue Jays have here, but even more so I like the fact of this rejuvenated Toronto offense taking their swings here in Colorado. Tulowitzki has struggled for the Blue Jays but he has hit .321 with a 106 homers and 385 RBIs here at Coors when he was a member of the Rockies. I look for him to have a nice series, along with Donaldson, Encarnacion and the rest of the Blue Jays lineup. Colorado has a good offense for sure but I feel that Estrada can keep that offense under wraps in this one. MLB Picks Blue Jays take game one.
