Las Vegas - Jimmy G vs. the Baker. Tasty Monday night matchup. After an opening loss, Garappolo has pushed the Niners to a 3-1 record, and with a week off to lick some wounds, San Fran should be able to squeeze out a W. But with the line jumping to -5, not gonna activate the phone app for this one.

However, will activate for the Rays/Astros and thinking that Tampa is gonna avoid the broom. Charlie Morton steps on to the bump, and he is, without question, the best that the Rays have. He has not given up an earned run in the last two outings over 11 innings. You know that Charlie M was with Houston last year, and he would love to extend the series against his old team. But Eck, what about Zack Greinke? He was 10-4 at Arizona before putting on the Astros uni, and has compiled a brilliant 8-1 mark since coming to Houston. Yea, but, and there's always a but, we've found three reasons to go against. Greinke is just 4-6 lifetime against the Rays. In his only outing this season against Tampa, he was rocked for 6 hits and 5 earned runs in just 5.2 innings. Finally, he hasn't started a game since September 25, and might be a little rusty. Light play to the team that plays in THE ABSOLUTE WORST facility in all of MLB.
