Tip Preview:
Tigers just got swept by the Diamondbacks and need to respond. Justin Verlander (4-4, 4.68) starts for Detroit. His last home outing lasted just 2 innings but still has very respectful 2-0, 2.10 ERA split at Comerica Park.
Alex Cobb (5-5, 4.29 ERA) takes the mound for Tampa Bay. He's been a product of a good run support in 2017 (4.31 RPG) which offsets his 5.01 ERA away from home.

Tip Preview:
Rockies suffered from a severe case of home sickness losing 3 out of 4 before beating Pittsburgh last night. Now back at Coors Field they are ready to pounce on one of biggest disappointments of the 2017 season. Giants (26-41) have the second-worst record in majors and are 12-23 away from AT&T Park. The will start Matt Moore who gave up 11 runs in 9.2 IP already this season against Colorado, hasn't won a game since May 13th and is 0-4 with a 7.94 ERA away from home.

Tip Preview:
For unknown reason Angels' starter JC Ramirez always finds trouble in the first inning. His overall stats are pretty impressive (6-4, 4.33 ERA) but the opening innig is a digfferent story. He's given up a run in four straight games and in 10 of his 11 starts in 2017!!! His ERA in the opening frame is 10.64.
Despite their recent struggles (no runs scored in the opening inning in four straight road games) Yankees are still fifth in away games 0.63 RPG. In the streak they are right now it's a perfect opportunity to turn this around.

In a terrible slump I'm looking for a way out of it...
Red Sox are middle of the pack in June with 50 runs in 11 games. But at home they are close to 5 RPG. Phiilies have one of the worst pitching staffs in all of baseball with a 5.29 ERA in June and 64 runs allowed in 11 games. Their bullpen is eighth from bottom in ERA (4.78) and almost 2 RPG. With the DH rule in effect tonight and no easy out I hope for a hit parade by the Red Sox.

Tip Preview:
Robbie Ray has a negative home/away split. He's 2-2, 5.67 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 4-1, 0.64 ERA, 0.76 WHIP in away games. The lefty had a solid game on Tuesday (6.2 IP, 3H, 1ER) but it was against league's worst Padres. Brewers are averaging a hit every 4 at-bats which sounds OK to me to cover the number.

Tip Preview:
Toronto has third-worst BAA in day games (.216), third-worst on Sundays (.221) and second-worst vs. lefties (.219). And Mariners starter James Paxton is almost unhittable (5-0, 1.69 ERA) especially at home (4-0, 1.17 ERA, 0.98 WHIP).

Tip Preview:
I'm little surprised by Unibet's odds but grab it while they last. Padres average just 0.21 RPG in the first innings at home, KC - 0.19 RPG in away games. Royals are batting .219 away from Kaufmann Stadium while San Diego has a .229 BAA in June and just .203 against lefties (KC will start southpaw Eric Skoglund) in 2017. And Padres' starter Jhoulys Chacin has a 1.36 ERA at PETCO Park and just one first inning run allowed.

Tip Preview:
Rays are batting .211 in JUne (third-worst in majors), A's - .228 (good for 25th). Rays' starter Alex Cobb (4-5, 4.52 ERA) has allowed 4 first inning runs in 2017 and only once at home. Oakland's Andrew Triggs (5-5, 3.36 ERA) has a 3.27 ERA in the first inning and has allowed just 2 runs in 25 innings away from home. A's are also averaging just 0.21 RPG in the first inning in away games.

Tip Preview:
Yankees are still averaging almost 9 HPG at home despite the lackluster outings during the previous home stand. Red Sox will start Cy Young winner Rick Pocello who's been a batting practice machine during May. He's given up at lest 8 hits in each of his last 5 starts, has a 1.47 WHIP in away games and averaging more than a hit per inning is exactly what I'm looking for.

Tip Preview:
Zack Greinke owns the Padres. Since coming to NL West in 2013 he's 8-2 with an astonishing 1.88 ERA. He already met them twice this season and gave up two runs combined in 14 IP. Padres' starter Luis Perdomo is unpredictable (0-1, 5.01 ERA). He was crushed by the Diamondbacks two weeks ago (3IP, 11H, 8ER) and has a lifetime 3.86 ERA in Arizona. Finally: Arizona has the best home record in baseball (22-8), San Diego sixth-worst in away games (10-20).

Tip Preview:
Pirates' starter Chad Kuhl (1-5, 6.02 ERA) is a flyball pitcher. With the short dimensions Camden Yard is not friendly to such style. Kuhl has a respectable ERA away from home (3.80) but he rarely pitches outside Pittsburgh (just 4 out of 11 starts). Pirates are near the bottom of the league in BAA against lefties (.213, 29th). With Wade Miley starting (1.01 ERA at home) and on a high after last night's comeback Orioles look like clear favorites.

Tip Preview:
Diamondbacks are 21-8 at home while Padres are are 10-19 in away games. Arizona comes home from very unsuccessful road trip. They lost three in a row in Miami, were no-hit by Edinson Volquez and slipped to third in NL West. Diamondbacks will start Robbie Ray who's on a personal high 25.2 innings scoreless streak. He held Padres to two hits in 7.2 IP on May 20th and SD is hitting just .198 against lefties - dead last in majors.

Tip Preview:
Astros are the hottest team in baseball winning 11 in a row and another tonight will tie the franchise record. Astros are batting league-best .290 in away games while Royals sit at #24 at home - .249. KC will start rookie Jake Junis in his first appearance since May 21st when he couldn't complete the fifth innig @Minnesota.

Tip Preview:
Red Sox starter Chris Sale has given up one hit in the first inning all season. He held Orioles hitless in the opening inning in their previous meeting (May 2nd). Sale will face Joey Rickard (.256 batting first), Adam Jones (.252 batting second; 1 hit in 11 at-bats in the series) and Manny Machado (.212 batting third).

Tip Preview:
Detroit's starter Jordan Zimmermann has a 6.30 ERA in the first inning, 5.40 in the second, 4.50 in the third, 8.10 in the fourth and 7.45 in the fifth. He already gave up 7 runs in five innings last Sunday in Chicago and 3 in five innings on April 30th at Comerica Park.

Tip Preview:
Detrot's Jordan Zimmermann is having the worst year of his career. 4-4, 6.47 ERA and on top of that he was killed last Sunday by the Sox - 8 hits, 7 runs in just 5 innings. Zimmermann has given up 4 or more runs in 8 of his 10 starts and White Sox are averaging 4.3 RPG away from home.

Tip Preview:
Reds are 15-13 at home, Braves are 12-18 in away games. Reds' starter Scott Feldman is 2-2, 3.53 ERA, while R.A. Dickey's knuckleball is not fooling anybody. Former Cy Young winner is 2-2, 5.26 ERA in away games. He's been plagued by long ball and only four stadiums has seen more HRs than Great American Ballpark in 2017.

Tip Preview:
Marlins are fifth in majors in runs scored in first inning (0.77, 0.93 at home) and are batting .280 (third-best) against lefties. Arizona starter Patrick Corbin had an awful May raising his ERA to 5.14. He allowed a first inning run in four of his five starts and in all starts away from home in 2017!

Tip Preview:
Michael Fulmer is the unluckiest pitcher on Earth. He gave up 4 runs in 16 innings last weeks yet ended 0-2 after having absolutely no run support. Former Met farmhand is 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA at home and held the White Sox to a single run in first five innings last Saturday and Sox are only 21st in runs in innings 1-5 with 2.5 RPG (2.21 away from home).

Tip Preview:
First of all: Cleveland is 12-2 against AL West. Second: Mike Clevinger (2-1, 2.82 ERA) is due to finally have a solid start at home (0-1, 6.52 ERA) in 2017. And third: Sean Manaea (3-3, 4.35 ERA) was terrific in his last start @NY Yankees (7IP, 4H, 0R) but he's yet to prove he's able to make back-to-back quality starts.
