Jim Feist Handicapper Review & Free Sports Picks

Interleague action here tonight has the Orioles playing their close neighbor, Washington. That means the AL O's have to hit their pitchers tonight. The O's are already one of the biggest under teams in baseball at 29-41 O/U on the season. This is because their offense only averages 3.6 runs per game. Don't expect them to get much vs the Nationals' Ace, Max Scherzer. Scherzer is 10-3 with a 2.06 ERA and 0.844 WHIP. Scherzer has not allowed over two runs in any of his last four starts. The O's will start Kevin Gausman. Guasman is 3-6 with a 4.48 ERA. Guasman is coming off nice starts where he's allowed five total runs over 12 2/3 innings. Don't think the O's get many runs here tonight. Play the UNDER.

Seattle lost game two of this series to the Yankees last night, 5-7. That evened the series at one game each. Mariners Ace James Paxton will take the hill today. Paxton is 6-1 in his 15 starts with a 3.44 ERA. Paxton had one of his worst starts of the season last time out, allowing six runs over just 2 1/3 innings to the Red Sox. Still, Paxton has been the most consistent pitcher in the M's rotation this year. The Yankees finally got a game over last night. That broke their string of 14 straight under games. Luis Servino gets the start today at 10-2 on the season. Servino has a very good 2.09 ERA and 0.929 WHIP. Both these pitchers are excellent and to me this game looks like another under for the Yankees. Play UNDER.

The Oakland A's have won four straight games as they open this new series with the White Sox. The A's just took two straight from the Padres and two of three from the Angels. Chris Bassitt starts today. Bassitt is 0-2 in his only two starts, but has pitched well, allowing just three earned runs over 11 innings with nine KO's and just two BB's. The White Sox have now lost seven straight games. The offense has been anemic, scoring three runs or less in 11 of their last 14 games. Lucas Giolito will start today with a 4-7 record, 7.19 ERA and 1.626 WHIP. Walks have been an issue for Giolito, allowing eight free passes in his last 16 1/3 innings. I don't see the Sox winning here tonight with Giolito on the hill. They lose their eighth in a row tonight. Play the A's.

 France -1. France will guarantee a spot in the final 16 with a win today over Peru. France got pushed a bit in their group C opening game by the Aussie's in a 2-1 France win. Peru, who is back in the World Cup for the first time in 36 years, showed well in their opening loss to Denmark. Peru knows they are not as the same level of experience as their opponents. This one really is a mismatch as France has all the weapons and Peru is just happy to be here. Lay the goal or goal and a half here with France.

Week 2 CFL action has Ottawa hosting Saskatchewan on Thursday night. The Saskatchewan Roughriders opened with a nice win in week one over Toronto. QB Zach Collaros was 18-for-25 for 203 yards and one TD. The passing game was quiet at best for the RoughRiders in week 1. Ottawa looks improve on last season's 8-9-1 record. The Redblacks have lots of rest for this contest, but I liked the way Saskatchewan played in week 1. I'm going to stick with the Roughriders here again in week 2. Play Saskatcchewan.
