So the Marlins are terrible in every facet as we know at 9-26 and their worst starter is on the mound vs a lineup that is on fire. Sanchez should be an opener at best but the Fish's stink pen is in tatters after giving up 20 runs Sat night after a long rain delay. So starter has no length and hard to get fresh bodies from Jacksonville (AAA) to Oakland. A's are cruising and playing with confidence with an elite pen. Back to .500 and have played good teams very tough and will thrash Fish again here. Sanchez allowed 8 ER in last 2 starts (6 2/3 IP). I like the A's to complete the sweep with runs to spare

MIN has had some amazing luck during its 12-game run but eventually that runs out. Criswell is yet another previously nondescript BoSox hurler who is channeling Cy Young by throwing a ton of breaking balls and offspeed pitches. Boston has been playing solid ball lately, too, and will be fired up not be swept, with Cora managing not to get swept. Joe Ryan has been solid for the Twins but has yet to make a start outside of the fugazi AL Central, facing the light-hitting Royals, Tigers and Pale Hose thus far. He tends to give up the longball, which could hurt him here.

Seattle has its share of hitting woes but Hunter Brown should be the antidote to some of that. Brown's ERA is a hair below 10 and Bobby Miller is throwing swing-and-miss gas for the Mariners, who are used to winning low-scoring games if need be. Stros have allowed an astounding 49 runs in Brown's 6 starts, and at least 5 in every outing. Mariners staff should be able to do plenty if provided anything close to that run support on Sunday.

We cashed fading Manoah on the mound last year and will pick up where we left off. His minor league outings left a lot to be desired and the Blue Jays still aren't really hitting the ball well and I think their starter gets shelled here. Baseball is a mental game and this starter may be shot where it counts most. Gore will battle for the Nats and he's been very solid. No logical reason why the Nats have been better on the road than at home but I like them to back their ace Sunday afternoon

The Yankees aren't sweeping this series. Their offense is still tepid and unreliable and they will have their hands full with a nasty lefty today. Skubal can outduel Cortes and the NYY are just 26th in MLB in SLG vs lefties (a ridiculous .333) and they haven't seen many like this kid yet. Tigers bats have yet to come alive but they can win this game 2-1. Skubal is 8-0 in his last 11 starts with a 1.35 ERA. He'll be tough on Soto from the left side and not many other Yankees bats are hot
