Las Vegas - This next sentence is NOT fake news. The Cincinnati Reds are in FIRST PLACE in the National League Central. WHAT! Yup, the Reds have ripped off NINE straight wins (not including last night) and send the kid, Andrew Abbott to the hill this afternoon. What's so special about Double A? In his first three MLB starts, he has NOT given up an earned run. That's 17 innings worth of BAGELS and obviously, a ZERO POINT ZERO ZERO ERA! Colorado's Kyle Freeland...NOT so good.
Read MoreLas Vegas - Looked at the entire MLB board and there are two games that we're looking at. Liking the Marlins with Eury Perez over the Blue Jays and Yusei Kikuchi. Eury is just 20 years old and throw PEAS! He 4-1 and has allowed only 1 earned run over the last 21 innings. With Perez's 0.43 ERA, gotta have some Miami.

Mad Max has been UGLIFIED the last two times out, getting RIPPED for 18 hits and 11 earned runs in just 9 innings. Yea, I said ELEVEN EARNED RUNS IN NINE INNINGS. Don't think I've EVER seen those kind of numbers from Scherzer's right arm. If it's some kind of injury, that would be the only possible answer. If it's not an injury, then UH OH!

Actually looked at the Baseball Reference website and found out that there have been 24 Grays over the years. My favorite would have to be Chummy Gray, who started seven games for the Pirates back in 1899. Back to my Gray, Jon.

This kid is a beast at 6'5" and 220 pounds. He brings some serious heat which tops out at 100.4 mph. Not sure what that is in kilometers, but you can google it. Miller has started four games and allowed ONLY 2 earned runs over 23 innings which works out to an INVISIBLE 0.78 ERA!
