GAME: Houston Astros (40-16) at Texas Rangers (26-30)

DATE/TIME: Sunday, June 04 - 3:05 PM EST
WHERE: Globe Life Park in Arlington, Arlington, Texas
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Already off to the best start in club history by a significant margin, the Houston Astros can set a few more team marks in the near future. The Astros attempt to match a club record with their 10th straight road victory Sunday, when they eye a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers.

A few days after becoming the first team since the 2001 Seattle Mariners (40-12) to finish May at least 22 games over .500, Houston (40-16) - six games ahead of the 56-game standard it reached four times prior to this season - moved 24 games over the break-even mark for the first time in 16 years following Saturday's 6-5 victory. The triumph was the Astros' ninth in a row overall and put them on track to tie the team's longest road winning streak since capturing a club-record 10 in a row from May 7-31, 1989. Two-time defending American League West champion Texas trailed the Astros by 5 1/2 games after winning 11 of 12 during the middle of last month but finds itself 14 games off the pace after dropping nine of its last 11. The losing has continued despite three straight two-hit efforts from Adrian Beltre, who is batting .421 and has notched at least one hit in each of the five games he has played since returning from an injury that cost him the team's first 51 contests.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Brad Peacock (2-0, 2.13 ERA) vs. Rangers LH Martin Perez (2-5, 4.19)

Peacock continued his conversion from reliever to starter as he struck out eight for the second straight outing Monday at Minnesota, but he also surrendered four runs and four hits over 4 2/3 innings and did not factor into the decision. The Floridian was much better in his first turn one week earlier, allowing one hit in 4 1/3 frames against Detroit. Peacock gave up a run across two innings of relief versus the Rangers on May 4 and is 1-3 with a 3.41 ERA in seven career appearances (five starts) against them.

Perez remained unbeaten over his last four outings but did not factor in the decision for the third time in that span Monday versus Tampa Bay, permitting season highs in runs (five) and hits (nine) over five innings. The 26-year-old Venezuelan seemingly has solved his control issues, however, issuing only five free passes last month after walking 19 in April. Jose Altuve is 10-for-27 with six doubles while Evan Gattis is 7-for-16 against Perez, who is 5-3 with a 2.49 ERA in nine career starts versus the Astros.

WALK-OFFS

1. Altuve, who hit a home run on Saturday, is 17-for-31 with 10 runs scored and six RBIs over his last seven games.

2. Beltre is two doubles shy of tying Luis Gonzalez (596) for 17th place on the all-time list.

3. Houston has homered in a season-best 11 straight games (25 during the streak) and is tied for second in the majors with 84.

PREDICTION: Astros 7, Rangers 4

GAME: Minnesota Twins (28-24) at Los Angeles Angels (29-30)

DATE/TIME: Sunday, June 04 - 3:37 PM EST
WHERE: Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Anaheim, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

With Albert Pujols' search for an historic home run over, the Los Angeles Angels can focus all of their attention on earning a split of their four-game series against the visiting Minnesota Twins on Sunday. Pujols hit his 600th career homer on Saturday as Los Angeles posted a 7-2 victory after losing the first two games of the set.

The 37-year-old Pujols belted a grand slam in the fourth inning to become the ninth player in major-league history to reach the milestone. The blast was Pujols' 2,876th career hit, tying him with Mel Ott for 43rd place on the all-time list and putting him one behind Omar Vizquel for 42nd. While Los Angeles improved to 3-3 on its seven-game homestand, Minnesota fell to 2-1 on its 10-game road trip. Max Kepler extended his hitting streak to six games Saturday, recording two hits - including a homer - and two RBIs for the second straight contest.

TV: 3:37 p.m. ET, FSN North (Minnesota), FSN West (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Jose Berrios (3-1, 2.70 ERA) vs. Angels RH Ricky Nolasco (2-5, 5.07)

Berrios won each of his first three starts of the season but had the streak broken Tuesday, when he yielded four runs on five hits and four walks in five innings against Houston. The 23-year-old Puerto Rican had given up four runs and four walks in total over his first three outings. Berrios, who already has matched the number of wins he recorded in 14 starts as a rookie last year, will be facing the Angels for the first time.

Nolasco's winless streak reached six starts Monday as he lost his third consecutive start, surrendering six runs and seven hits in only 2 2/3 innings against Atlanta. It was the shortest outing of the year for the 34-year-old Californian, who had worked at least six frames in each of his previous four turns and six overall in 2017. Nolasco went 15-22 in 58 outings over 2 1/2 seasons with Minnesota before being traded to Los Angeles but has made just one career start against the Twins, allowing three runs - two earned - over five innings in a victory at Minnesota on April 23, 2013 while with Miami.

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels 3B Yunel Escobar has gone 2-for-4 in each of the first three games of the series after missing nearly three weeks with a strained hamstring.

2. Minnesota C Jason Castro is expected to be in the lineup Sunday after being rested for two games.

3. Los Angeles recalled 1B C.J. Cron and RHP Damien Magnifico from Triple-A Salt Lake, optioned 1B Jefry Marte to the Bees and designated RHP Deolis Guerra for assignment.

PREDICTION: Angels 5, Twins 3

GAME: Washington Nationals (34-20) at Oakland Athletics (24-31)

DATE/TIME: Sunday, June 04 - 4:05 PM EST
WHERE: Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Washington Nationals and host Oakland Athletics have exchanged offensive outbursts to begin their three-game interleague series and both will attempt to claim the set in the finale Sunday afternoon, when Nationals superstar Bryce Harper returns from a suspension. After the Nationals pounded out 20 hits in a 13-3 victory to open the series, the Athletics returned the favor Saturday afternoon behind Ryon Healy and Jed Lowrie.

Healy was 4-for-4 with two homers and two doubles while Lowrie went deep once and ripped a pair of two-baggers while driving in four runs in the 10-4 triumph. Yonder Alonso had two hits, two walks, two RBIs and three runs scored for Oakland, which entered the contest having hit .196 while scoring an average of 2.9 runs over its previous seven contests (1-6). The Nationals received a three-run homer from Adam Lind and three hits from red-hot Daniel Murphy, who is 13-for-23 with three doubles and a homer in his last five games. Trying to slow down the bats will be Washington's Tanner Roark and fellow right-hander Sonny Gray for Oakland.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, MASN2 (Washington), NBCSN California (Oakland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Tanner Roark (5-2, 3.86 ERA) vs. Athletics RH Sonny Gray (2-2, 4.72)

Roark is coming off back-to-back dominant outings, first allowing a run in seven innings against Seattle and following that up with seven scoreless at San Francisco on Memorial Day. The 30-year-old had a similar line - one run on two hits allowed in 7 2/3 frames - in his only prior start at Oakland in 2014. Roark has a 2.71 ERA in 15 career interleague games (12 starts).

After picking up back-to-back home wins - including a seven-inning, 11-strikeout performance against Miami - Gray struggled at Cleveland on Tuesday. He was reached for a season-high seven runs in 4 2/3 innings in that one while suffering his first loss in a span of five starts. The Vanderbilt product let up three runs in seven frames in his only prior matchup with the Nationals in 2014.

WALK-OFFS

1. Harper served a three-game suspension for his role in a bench-clearing brawl in San Francisco last week and is 3-for-21 over his last six games.

2. Lind has six RBIs over a three-game span.

3. Alonso also homered Saturday and has four in his last eight contests.

PREDICTION: Nationals 5, Athletics 3

GAME: Tampa Bay Rays (29-29) at Seattle Mariners (27-30)

DATE/TIME: Sunday, June 04 - 4:10 PM EST
WHERE: Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

A brief stint in the minors may have done the trick for Mike Zunino, who is back and playing a key role for the suddenly explosive Seattle Mariners. Winners of six of its last seven contests, Seattle aims for a three-game sweep of the visiting Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday after outscoring them 21-6 in the first two games of the series.

Zunino went 3-for-4 with a mammoth grand slam and a career-high seven RBIs in Saturday’s 9-2 win as the Mariners collected 16 hits and pummeled Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb for nine runs in five innings. Zunino's early-season struggles earned him a trip to Triple-A Tacoma for 12 games last month, but the 26-year-old is pushing for a move from the No. 9 spot in the batting order with multiple hits in three of his last four contests. Tampa Bay fell back to .500 for the 17th time this season on Saturday but received another solid effort from leadoff hitter Corey Dickerson, who belted his 13th home run and is 16-for-44 during his nine-game hitting streak. Rays catcher Derek Norris exited the game early with back spasms and will be held out of Sunday’s series finale but could return as soon as Tuesday.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, FSN Sun (Tampa Bay), ROOT (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Erasmo Ramirez (3-0, 3.66 ERA) vs. Mariners LH Ariel Miranda (5-2, 4.17)

Ramirez became the first pitcher since 1984 to start a major-league game the day after recording a save but lasted just 2 1/3 innings at Texas on Monday. In 32 starts for the Rays, the 27-year-old has only lost once when receiving two or more runs of support. Ramirez is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three career games (one start) against Seattle, where he began his career and went 7-12 in 47 contests (35 starts) from 2012-14.

Miranda won his second straight start Tuesday against Colorado, allowing two runs over five innings at Coors Field. The Cuban has yielded a total of six earned runs over his last four turns covering 22 innings. Miranda, who is making his first career appearance against Tampa Bay, has lasted at least five innings in each of his last four outings but owns a troubling 22-to-12 strikeout-to-walk ratio over that stretch.

WALK-OFFS

1. Seattle has won six of its last seven games against Tampa Bay at Safeco Field, including five straight.

2. The Rays have tied a club record by hitting a home run in 15 consecutive road contests.

3. Mariners 1B Danny Valencia went 4-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI on Saturday and is batting .345 over his last 32 games.

PREDICTION: Mariners 6, Rays 4

GAME: Colorado Rockies (35-23) at San Diego Padres (23-34)

DATE/TIME: Sunday, June 04 - 4:40 PM EST
WHERE: Petco Park, San Diego, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Colorado Rockies got the pitching effort they needed to even the series and can win it with another when they send Jeff Hoffman to the mound in the finale against the host San Diego Padres on Sunday. Tyler Chatwood tossed eight strong innings, while Ian Desmond belted a grand slam and Nolan Arenado homered for the second time in three games as Colorado notched a 10-1 win Saturday.

The Rockies were 3-6 in their previous nine contests entering Saturday and had allowed 32 runs in a five-game stretch before tying the season series at 4-4 against San Diego with Chatwood’s eight-strikeout performance. Hoffman gets the nod for Colorado on Sunday after scheduled starter Tyler Anderson (left knee inflammation) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday, and he will oppose fellow right-hander Jarred Cosart. The Padres saw their five-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday, but catcher Austin Hedges homered for his third straight contest to produce the lone run. Wil Myers extended his hitting streak to six games with a double Saturday and Hedges in 5-for-11 with seven RBIs in his last three contests.

TV: 4:40 p.m. ET, ROOT Rocky Mountain (Colorado), FSN San Diego

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies RH Jeff Hoffman (2-0, 3.29 ERA) vs. Padres RH Jarred Cosart (0-1, 4.50)

Hoffman has been summoned from Triple-A Albuquerque where he is 3-2 with a 3.68 ERA in eight outings and will try to win his third game in as many starts for the Rockies in 2017. The 24-year-old East Carolina product, acquired in the Troy Tulowitzki trade, permitted one run on three hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings to win at Philadelphia on May 22. Hoffman took the loss when he gave up seven runs (none earned) over 2 2/3 innings against San Diego last year.

Cosart has allowed two or fewer earned runs in four of his five starts this season, but he has been able to complete five innings just once. The 27-year-old Texan has struggled with control issues his entire career and has recorded 16 walks versus only 10 strikeouts in 20 innings in 2017 while extending his winless streak to 21 contests. Desmond and Mark Reynolds have each homered versus Cosart, who is 0-1 with a 5.87 ERA in two starts against Colorado.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Diego 2B Yangervis Solarte was hitless Saturday, but he is still 10-for-29 over his last seven contests.

2. Colorado OF Gerardo Parra is 12-for-17 with two walks and eight RBIs the last six games.

3. The Padres have scored 199 runs in their first 57 games, 98 of which have come from home runs.

PREDICTION: Rockies 6, Padres 3

GAME: St. Louis Cardinals (26-27) at Chicago Cubs (27-27)

DATE/TIME: Sunday, June 04 - 7:35 PM EST
WHERE: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A


The Chicago Cubs are hovering at the .500 mark, in large part because several of their young stars have failed to live up their expectations. One of them - slugging outfielder Kyle Schwarber - turned around his fortunes Saturday, and the Cubs hope to ride the momentum from a comeback victory to a three-game sweep of the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.



Schwarber began the season as the Cubs’ unconventional leadoff hitter but is batting just .166 and was dropped to the No. 9 spot in the lineup Saturday. He responded with a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning, propelling Chicago to a 5-3 win, and will continue to bat ninth Sunday, Cubs manager Joe Maddon told reporters. Maddon pushed all the right buttons Saturday, as he also started Javier Baez at shortstop in place of slumping Addison Russell, and Baez had two hits, including a home run leading off the third inning. The Cardinals continued their recent offensive woes and have not scored more than four runs in any of their last 10 games, going 3-7 over that span.

TV: 7:35 p.m. ET, ESPN



PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Michael Wacha (2-3, 3.99 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Kyle Hendricks (4-3, 3.75)

Wacha is winless in his last six starts, and the Cardinals have only one victory in those games. The 25-year-old hasn’t made it through five innings in his last two outings and gave up four runs (three earned) while lasting just three frames Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Wacha is 4-4 with a 5.90 ERA in 12 games (10 starts) against the Cubs.

Hendricks retired the first 10 batters he faced Monday at San Diego, but a grand slam from Hunter Renfroe ultimately ruined his day. The 27-year-old has been sharp of late overall, posting quality starts in five of his last seven outings, and he has pitched to a 1.96 ERA in his last three home starts. Hendricks is 1-2 with a 3.56 ERA in seven starts against the Cardinals.



WALK-OFFS

1. Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo is 13-for-28 with three home runs versus Wacha, while 3B Kris Bryant is 6-for-16 with a homer.

2. St. Louis C Yadier Molina homered Saturday and has hit three of his six home runs this season against the Cubs.

3. Chicago has hit 33 home runs in its last 23 games. including three in the first two games of the series.

Amir Garrett has not been good at all this season in fact he was just on the disabled list and has a high 6 ERA over 8 starts. Julio Tehran is having a rare bad season but he still has good stuff and was strong last time out going solid over 6 in a win for him Monday. Both bullpens got beat up Saturday and I look for a both pitchers to be expected to go deep and I believe Julio Tehran has the best shot at doing that. Lets invest a 9* investment in the Braves early on Sunday

This big game in the A.L. East has the Toronto Blue Jays at 27-29 hosting the 32-21 Yankees. Toronto has lost 2 bad games to the Yankees this series where they were completely blow out and really need to close this out on a good not pretty good pitching matchup but I think the Jays have the better team and pitcher at home with Marcus Strohman who is 6-2 with a 3.28 ERA. Luis Servino has been great but the Jays need this game badly and I think the Yankees might have the Red Sox on their mind today as they go home to face them next. Take the Jays for a 15* winner.

ROCKIES AT PADRES
PLAY: ROCKIES

The San Diego hot streak ended with a thud on Saturday as the Padres got destroyed at Petco by the Rockies. I like the Colorado side to pick up another win today.

Jeff Hoffman is back up from AAA to make this start for the Rockies. I think another good showing here might enable him to stick around as he appears to be ready for full time big league action. Hoffman has the arsenal to be a very good major league starter. Big heater, plus breaking ball and an improving change. Command has been an issue previously, but it sure looks like Hoffman is putting that problem in the rear view mirror. If the big righty shows up with his good stuff today, he’ll have a chance to dominate the Padres.

Jarred Cosart will throw for the Friars, and if he’s his usual self, finding the plate on a regular basis could be a problem. I just don’t see Cosart as a starting pitcher at this level. That doesn’t rule out a productive career as there are countless failed starters who’ve gone on to be outstanding relievers. But as long as Cosart is drawing starting assignments, I’ll probably be looking to try and beat him when the price is right.

Colorado will be the favorite in this game, but I’m willing to spot a price as long as it’s reasonable. Rockies -130 or better will be playable for me.

Sunday's NBA Finals Game 2 Betting Preview: Cavaliers at Warriors

Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors (-8.5, 220.5)

Warriors lead series 1-0

The Golden State Warriors sent a harsh message to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals and will try to take a 2-0 lead in the series when they host Game 2 on Sunday. The Warriors thrashed the Cavaliers 113-91 in Thursday's opener as Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry had little trouble navigating the Cleveland defense.

Durant is making his first Finals appearance since losing to LeBron James and the Miami Heat as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012, and he certainly looked right at home in his return trip with 38 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and zero turnovers in the win. "To have a game like that when he's playing that way, it's tough to beat," Golden State forward Draymond Green told reporters. "Thirty-eight, eight, eight, zero turnovers? I mean that's -- we're real tough to beat when he's doing that. ... We're going to seek him out, get him the ball, and guys got to defend him. He was amazing (in Game 1), and I expect nothing less in the rest of the games." The Cavaliers lost Game 1 at Golden State last spring and fell down 3-1 before coming back to win the series, and James is not panicking. "Just get focused on Game 2," James told reporters. "We made a lot of mistakes. There's nothing really needs to be said. We know we're capable of playing a lot better. We didn't play as well as we know we're capable of, so we look forward to the next one."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ABC

LINE HISTORY: The Warriors opened as 8-point home chalk for Game 2 and, was bet up as high as 9 until fading down half-point to 8.5. The total sit the betting board as 221.5 and has dropped down to 220.5.

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "Quality teams off a blowout loss normally bounce back in the next game, but that was not the case last year. Cleveland lost Game 1 of the 2016 NBA Finals by 15 points at Golden State last season and then the Cavaliers lost Game 2 by 33 points. Despite that, Cleveland won Game 3 by 30 points and overcame a 3-1 series deficit to still win the championship. It will be interesting to see if history repeats itself this year. Golden State is a different team now with Kevin Durant on board. The betting market does not think Cleveland will bounce back in Game 2 on Sunday night. The line is a full basket higher than Game 1." - Covers Expert Steve Merril.

INJURY REPORT:

Cavaliers - C Edy. Tavares (Out For Season, hand)

Warriors - SF Kevon Looney (Out Indefinitely, hip)

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (63-33 SU, 44-48-4 ATS, 56-39-1 O/U): Cleveland imported talent during the regular season in an effort to get James the help he desired but point guard Deron Williams, shooting guard Kyle Korver and power forward Derrick Williams combined to go scoreless on 0-of-9 shooting off the bench in Game 1. James contributed 28 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists but also committed eight of the team's 20 turnovers. "I know we will play better," Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue told reporters. "When we're not making shots and they get off in transition off of rebounds and stuff like that, they're tough to guard. So, I know we can play better. We will play better."

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (80-15 SU, 49-43-3 ATS, 41-54-0 O/U): Golden State committed just four turnovers in the romp and pulled away easily despite All-Stars Green (3-of-12) and Klay Thompson (3-of-16, 0-of-5 from 3-point range) enduring tough shooting nights in the opener. Durant (14-of-26) and Curry (11-of-22, 10 assists) picked up the scoring slack while the team defensive effort held Cleveland to 34.9 percent shooting. "Our defensive effort allowed us to work through that struggle on the offensive end and keep a lead and just build the flow up," Curry said during an ESPN interview. "As the game went on we got more comfortable, shots started to fall and the ball was hopping, and that's the formula for us to be successful against this Cavs team. We have to defend, try to make it tough, knowing they have great scorers."

TRENDS:

* Cavaliers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western Conference.

* Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Eastern Conference.

* Under is 4-0 in Cavaliers last 4 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

* Under is 9-1-2 in the last 12 meetings in Golden State.

* Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

CONSENSUS: 54 percent of users are siding with the road underdog Cleveland Cavaliers and 62 percent are on the Over.
