Detroit Tigers over Minnesota Twins: Det has hit LH on the road to the tune of 291. They get a struggling Diamond tonight 1-3 with a 7.26 ERA in his last 6 starts. Frustration and a low confidence level for Diamond has his spot in the rotation in jeopardy.
Detroit Tigers over Kansas City Royals: I have this line at -1.89 so we are still getting great value. Keeping this line lower than it should be is the fact KC has won 6 in a row. Other than beating Det last night those wins came against Minn and Houst at home big deal.
Oakland Athletics over Chicago White Sox: The gap between these 2 teams and starting pitchers is much greater than the posted line. Santiago gets a spot start for Chic today and will struggle to eat up inngs.
New York Yankees over Seattle Mariners: I have the line on this game Nyy -1.86 so despite the large juice on the road we are still getting very good value. Nyy offense is clicking right now and helping matters is the return of Teixeira.
Chicago Cubs over Arizona Diamondbacks: Chic has now won 5 in a row and their bats have really started to heat up. Samardzija has really turned into an elite pitcher. His 196 BAA ranks near the tops in the majors. He has been able to control his wicked split finger lowering his walk total while maintaining his strikeouts. Keeping this line lower than it should be is his 4-7 team record when he starts. However that is more a factor of lack of run support than pitching.
Washington Nationals over San Diego Padres: We won with Wash yesterday and will not hesitate to come back on them today. To repeat I rate the offenses and bullpens equal however again today the gap in starting pitching is much wider in favor of Wash than the posted line.
Washington Nationals over San Diego Padres: Call the offenses and bullpens even in this game worst case. However the gap in the starting pitchers is much greater than the posted line.
St. Louis Cardinals over New York Mets: Despite the high line Stl is still undervalued providing us an opportunity. The best record in the young season in MLB Stl. NYm over the last 10 games a 169BA Stl 328. Marcum still in spring traing mode has not made it past the 5th inng in any of his 3 starts. Marcum has 10K vs 6BB and a 400 BAA.
Texas Rangers over Oakland Athletics: I have this line at -1.24 so we are getting excellent value. Oak is just 6-6 on the year vs. LH.
Pittsburgh Pirates over Milwaukee Brewers: The gap between these 2 starters and teams is much greater than the posted line. Burnett is pitching great and only the lack of run support has his record lower than it should be.
