 NL West matchup here has the San Diego Padres, Arizona and the Rockies grouped together for what looks like a Wild Card race at this point. The Dodgers are way out in front with 47 wins while the Padres have 34 and the Rockies 37. San Diego has dropped two of the first three in this series and now has lost six of their last seven overall. The Padres will start Nick Margevicius today. Margevicius is 2-6 in his 11 starts with a 5.02 ERA and 1.384 WHIP. Margevicius doesn't go long into games, just three to five innings. The Rocks will start Peter Lambert for just his third start. Lambert has been excellent in his two prior starts, going five and seven innings and allowing just one run in each game. Lambert has a 1.50 ERA and 0.833 WHIP thus far. Rockies are the better team at this juncture and Lambert proving he deserves a starting role. Take Colorado.

The Rangers ran their win streak to 2-games with a 4-3 win over the Reds on Saturday. The Reds have been a very good under team this year, now a 23-43-2 O/U on the season. The Reds have seen their last 11 games go under the total. Sonny Gray will start today for the Reds with a 2-5 record but a fairly good 3.51 ERA. Gray has seen his last two games go under the total as he's allowed three and two runs in those two games. The Rangers will counter with Ariel Juarado, who is 3-1 on the season with a 3.77 ERA and 1.361 WHIP. Juarado has only five starts, but has not allowed more than three runs in any of hist last four. I'm sticking with the UNDER here early on Sunday. The Reds have been a great under team and I see that continuing here today. PLAY the UNDER.

The defending Women's World Cup USA team didn't disappoint in their opening match vs Thailand. They sent a message to the rest of the World that they are again the team to beat this year with a 13-1 blowout of Thailand. Some analysts say that was unsportman-like to run up the score. I say it isn't in a sport where goals can count in the end. So today, the USA once again plays a very inferior team in Chile. They are laying 4 1/2 goals today and I could easily see a 8-0 or thereabouts score. The USA will cruise through this game, just like they did Thailand. Lay the goals and enjoy the show. Play the USA -4.5 goals.
