Jon Lester and the Cubs continue their series with Detroit. Lester has been a stud on the north side of Chicago for some time now, and will be in bounce back mode after a poor performance against the White Sox in his last appearance. The Tigers will trot out Michael Fulmer, who's ERA is 9.53, most recently getting crushed by the Indians. Give me the sly veteran lefty to put away the weak lumber of the Tigers.

Arizona has been playing better baseball as of late, and they need Robbie Ray to pitch better with some of the other injuries they have had to their pitching staff. Ray walked 6 his last time out but showed he had good stuff as he didn’t allow a hit over 5 innings in a 5-4 win over the Padres. Logan Webb is scheduled to be on the mound for the Giants, and the bullpen will be needed because he hasn’t lasted more than 5 innings in any outing this year. David Peralta (.321), Ketel Marte (.337), and Starling Marte (.351) are leading the way offensively, and I think they will help the Diamondbacks get the win.

The Texas Rangers go with starter Lance Lynn in this one. Lynn has been fantastic to start the 2020 season, posting a 1.11 ERA thus far. Lynn has not only been striking out lots of guys, but when he does give up contact it's usually not hard contact as evidenced by the fact he's just 1 of 4 starters that's is averaging more than 1 strikeout per inning and less than 86.0 miles per hour in exit velocity. Lynn is coming off an outstanding complete game performance in his last outing, allowing only 2 hits and no walks, and even more impressive is he did so in hitter friendly Coors Field and

Tampa Bay is 8-1 in their last 9 games overall and 6-1 in their last 7 road games while the over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games as a road favorite. New York is 6-0 in their last 6 games overall and 47-14 in their last 61 home games. Snell hasn’t been great in his career against the Yankees with an ERA just under six and a 1-5 record in 11 starts at Yankee Stadium as well as a 4.50 ERA in five starts against the Yankees last season. Masahiro Tanaka’s posted a 10-4 record in his career against the Rays and while the Rays come in rested,

As for this play, I like the home White Sox in this one. The Brewers starter IS Freddy Peralta for this game. Peralta has a poor ERA. The White Sox are going with veteran lefty Gio Gonzalez. He pitched for Milwaukee in 2018 and 2019, and he will want some revenge against his former team. He knows this lineup well and should give the White Sox an edge. Chicago has won five straight games and they are 5-1 in their last six games against the Brewers. Take the White Sox in this one. TAKE: CHICAGO WHITE SOX
