(MLB) WASHINGTON -108 MILWAUKEE (8PM)
Washington starter Roark (2-2, 3.16) suffered through a shaky performance in his third start of the year Friday. Roark, who spent all of 2014 as a starter, has gone 2-0 with a 3.78 ERA since injuries forced him back into the rotation May 25. The right-hander has a 5-0 record and 2.97 ERA in his last six starts against NL Central opponents. He pitched seven innings of one-run ball in his only appearance against the Brewers on July 19, striking out five. Garza is 0-3 with a 7.33 ERA in six career starts against Washington and had the shortest start of his career in his last meeting, leaving after giving up five runs in one-third of an inning in an 8-3 road loss July 19. Look for Nationals to win.

(MLB) CHICAGO -142 CINCINNATI (8PM) ** 2 UNIT PLAY**
Wada (0-1, 4.19) will start for Chicago (31-26) on Thursday and I am making the Cubbies a 2 unit play. Wada struggled Friday but before that start posted a 2.30 ERA in his three previous starts. The left-hander has a 1.97 ERA while not allowing more than two earned runs in any of his last nine outings at Wrigley. Wada has faced Cincinnati once in his career when he allowed an unearned run in five innings. The Reds have not experienced success on the road, where they havelost nine of their last 10. They were limited to only four hits in a 5-0 loss to the Cubs on April 15 and have dropped five of their last six at Wrigley Field, which will have the entire outfield bleachers open to fans for the first time this season. Look for a crazy crowd and a Cubs win.

(MLB) BOSTON -102 BALTIMORE (7PM)
Wade Miley who has been strong over the past month with a 4-1 record and 2.73 ERA in five starts after beginning his first season in Boston by going 1-4 with a 6.91 ERA over his first six. Boston has struggled bad. What a better way to end a streak then face a teams struggling starter. Tillman (3-7, 5.61 ERA) has his season ERA is his worst through 11 starts since he completed 2010 with a 5.87 mark in that many outings. Tillman gave up two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings after a 0-6 stretch with a 6.10 ERA.
