Milwaukee Brewers over Chicago Cubs: Since coming off the DL 4 starts ago Gallardo is 2-0 with a 1.37 ERA. Those starts were against Pitts and Cinnci. He takes a big step down in class today against Chic.
Arizona Diamondbacks over San Francisco Giants: Cahill is fresh after being on the DL for 2 months. An extreme sinker ball pitcher he is best suited for this ballpark at night.
Arizona Diamondbacks over Toronto Blue Jays: Ariz is still on the fringe of the wild card playoff race. Redmond is a 5 inng journeymen pitcher. He is far past the stage of being a prospect. At best he is a long man out of the bullpen in the majors. With injuries and poor performance he has been forced into a starter role for Tor.
Kansas City Royals over Toronto Blue Jays: Worst case we have an even pitching matchup. Buehrle has been good in the 2nd half especially Santana for the most part has been good all year.
Philadelphia Phillies over New York Mets: This line is lower than it should be because Hamels W/L record is not good. It has nothing to do with his pitching but rather lack of run support. Hamels against some tough competition has given up 3 runs or less in 9 out of his last 10 starts. Phil is 7-3 in their last 10 Nym are 3-7.
Detroit Tigers over Oakland Athletics: Despite the high line there is still plenty of value on the home team. Sanchez has gone 7 straight starts giving up 2 runs or less.
Detroit Tigers over New York Mets: Stud pitching match-up in this one with Scherzer vs. Harvey. Scherzer is the favorite in the AL and he is just getting stronger. 5 wins a 1.69 ERA since the break. Harvey will be the #1 in the mets rotation for many years to come.
Los Angeles Dodgers over Boston Red Sox: To get La at this price at home in a match up where the starting pitching is worst case even is too hard to pass up. Bost is 17-17 in their last 34. Lad are 28-5 since the all-star break.
Atlanta Braves over New York Mets: While Atl had a day off yesterday Nym finished off an 11 game 4 city road trip with a 1 game road stop in Minn. Atl is 19-3 in their last 22. Atl has also won 6 in a row on the road.
San Francisco Giants over Miami Marlins: Sf sends their top pitcher to the mound today having one 3 in a row. Mia is 15-21 vs. LH. Mia is 3-10 in their last 13.
