MLB Friday OVER 8.5 in San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs @ 9:40 ET - The Padres should hammer Taillon. The Cubs righty is off to a tough start this season and I like the fact this total was a 9 and has dropped to an 8.5 in most spots. I totally understand the move but respect the number the odds makers first had up there on this one. That said, Taillon consistently has been roughed up in his starts and though Michael Wacha has been pitching well for San Diego, I am expecting a solid effort from Chicago. The Cubs last road trip last 9 games and started with a 6-2 win and ended with a 2-1 loss. But in the middle were 7 games that all totaled double digits and average 13 runs per game! Perhaps the road will again get the Cubs sticks going again here. I also like the fact the Padres have scored 7 or more runs in 6 of last 10 games. San Diego averaged 6 runs scored per game during this stretch. More of the same here. OVER 8.5 in San Diego |

MLB Friday OVER 9.5 in Kansas City Royals vs Colorado Rockies @ 8:10 ET - Lyles has been so consistently bad that you know he is destined to give up a handful of runs here. I know Anderson has pitched well for the Rockies but there are some signs that the wheels are about to come off in one of these starts. Royals do tend to hit a little better at home and Colorado can be counted on to do damage against a struggling Lyles here. That said, and considering a pair of suspect bullpens (as Rockies showed again last night), look for this one to get to double digits in runs scored. OVER 9.5 in Kansas City |

Italian Serie B Friday Bari Money Line -115 vs Sudtirol @ 2:30 ET - This is the 2nd leg in a battle for a shot at promotion to Serie A and Sudtirol took the 1st match 1-0. The fact is Bari was a bit unfortunate in that one and now they are at home and they also are the much more dangerous club on the attack. I know Sudtirol is strong defensively and will again try to slow things down here but I don't expect them to be successful in that regard. Bari will be aggressive on their home pitch and they had great chances and possession edges in the first leg of this 2-leg battle. Now they get their revenge and get the win here. Take the hosts to get the win in this one. BARI -115 |

Serie A Friday OVER 3 in Sassuolo vs Fiorentina @ 2:30 ET - Fiorentina could be distracted with the big match in Prague against West Ham United coming up in 5 days. That plus the fact Sassuolo is at home means they should score some goals here. However, Fiorentina has been scoring well of late and that continues here. With just 4 draws in 18 matches and high likelihood each club scores here, I am looking for at least a 2-1 final and, given the situation, we should see much much more. OVER 3 in Sassuolo |

Rotation #200402: English FA Cup Final Saturday Manchester City Money Line -170/-190 vs Manchester United @ 10:00 AM ET - I am seeing lines in the -170 to -190 range for this one on City and I am not overly fond of laying big prices as long-time followers know but I just do not see City being denied here. They have the stronger firepower plus are healthier plus are more well-rested entering this match. City was able to dial things back a bit the last stretch of the Premier League season because they locked up the title with a few matches to spare. United, on the other hand, still was pushing hard for a solid finish and a Champions League position for next season. There is only one Haaland in this league too and United just can not match him. This is particularly true when they are dealing with some injuries. That said, the favorite here is worth the price and will not hesitate to lay it here. City with Guardiola as their manager will get revenge for the 2-1 loss in Premier League action earlier this season. City had won the meetings prior to that by a 12-4 count. Also, City has won their English FA Cup matches (5) by a combined score of 17 to 0 to get to this point. United allowed a goal in each of their first 4 English FA Cup matches and then did not even score in the 5th one but advanced on penalty kicks. City just too strong here and is worth the price. MANCHESTER CITY -170/-190 |
