Cubs Have Gone 10-1 in Last 11

The power has come back on in Chicago as Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo have put together some impressive hitting numbers. Bryant has a 19-game on-base streak and six home run in 12 games, while first baseman Anthony Rizzo made contact for the sixth time in 11 games.

Christian Yelich has hit 16 home runs this season to go with a .356 batting average and 31 RBI’s. Gio Gonzalez will get the start Friday. Without managing a decision so far this year, Gonzalez has a 2.61 ERA with nine strikeouts.

Jose Quintana gets the start Friday for the Cubs. Quintana is sitting on a 4-1 record with 40 Ks to his name and a 3.40 ERA.

Brewers vs Cubs Probable Starting Pitchers

After not picking the Cubs to beat the Cardinals last weekend, it’s hard bet against them again despite the odds. They are hot right now and should be able beat the Brewers who are 7-8 on the road this season.

Pick: Chicago Cubs +170

Tampa Bay Rays vs New York Yankees Series Price

Banged Up Yankees Have Chance to Battle Rays for First in AL East

New York’s injury troubles are well documented this season yet they have managed to hold in there and are within 1.5 games behind the Rays in the AL East.

JA Happ hasn’t done well at Yankee Stadium this season, where he is winless with a 7.65 ERA. Happ was better against the Mariners on Thursday and he isn’t to blame for New York’s losses.

— Tampa Bay Rays (@RaysBaseball) May 10, 2019

Tampa’s ace Blake Snell takes the hill on Saturday and it’s too bad we won’t see him and CC Sabathia go head to head. Sabathia reached the 3,000 strikeout total last week.

Rays vs Yankees Probable Starting Pitchers

With all the injuries the Yankees have they have managed to keep pace with the Rays in the AL East. If the Yankees were healthy, they’d walk away with this series no doubt. Pick them to beat the Rays this weekend.

Pick: New York Yankees (-145)

Seattle Mariners vs Boston Red Sox Series Price

Mariners Have Cooled Significantly Since Hot Start

Seattle started the season 13-2 and looked to be the best in the AL West, but have fallen to 20-20, much more in line with season predictions. They sit second in the West now with The Astros ahead of them and the Texas Rangers, Angels and Athletics below them.

The Red Sox sit third in the AL East behind Tampa and New York with a 19-19 record. It’s not the start Red Sox fans would have wanted, but it’s early still and Boston Red Sox are only five games back.

Seattle has had some great hitting to start the season with Dee Gordon batting .304 and Edwin Encarnacion leading the team in home runs with 12 and an OBP of .384. Domingo Santana is tops on the team with 35 RBIs and 43 hits.

Boston’s JD Martinez leads the team in batting average at .309 and hits with 43. Mitch Moreland is tops in home runs with 10 and RBIs at 24. Mookie Betts has an OBP of .405

Mariners vs Red Sox Probable Starting Pitchers

Despite the slow start for Boston, they have picked it up in recent games and look to be rounding into form as the season progresses. It’s going to be hard to bet against the Red Sox as they face a Seattle team that is struggling. Bet the Red Sox to take this series this weekend.

Pick: Boston Red Sox (-105)
