Nice night for us Monday and we move on. Free COL play cashed - free one is here: 928 SEA / 927 PITOVER 8 Pinnacle
Pregame has a special going on whereby if I win, you win. If I lose, it costs you nothing.
Dodgers/Brewers: The Brewers had Monday off while the Dodgers played the afternoon tilt in Pittsburgh. The did rest some people, who eventually DID play, however - and they used their better arms out of the bullpen - which has been solid of late. Milwaukee took two of three from the Nats before the day off, and they've been hitting - but not scoring. Plenty of chance, just not capitalizing. Chase Anderson's last start - AT the Dodgers where he didn't make it out of the third inning, so a certain little extra motivation, and he has been much, much better at home. The Brewers did see Urias in that last series, and got zero runs on five hits in five innings. With the familiarity, the home team rested, the Dodgers using some arms Monday - I like the Brewers RL and the under.
Tigers/Fish: Anytime the Tigers are playing an NL I first look to take take said NL team because it usually takes Victor Martinez out of the lineup - but this one's in Detroit, and in this case the Fish DO get the DH. The streaky Tigers beat Seattle four straight then proceeded to lose three straight to the Indians, all at home. Their bullpen has been better of late, a 1.39 ERA over those to series'. Miami also had Monday off, and over the weekend took three of four from the Cubs so they're certainly playing with confidence. They've got Ozuna listed as questionable, and the Fish are only three games behind the Nationals in the NL East. Conley has really only been whacked twice, both by the Nationals, and is solid at home - the other spanking coming at San Francisco. I simply cannot back Pelfrey here, which they seem to be begging people to do at -110.
Pittsburgh/Seattle: Obviously a cross country flight after a tough loss for the Pirates, who face a team that's rested. The Mariners took two of three from the Cardinals over the weekend, and that was on the heels of a dreadful road trip to the East Coast. Iwakuma just seems not a tight as he had been, and really only had two "great" outings, and in three of his last five starts he's given up three home runs. That's tough to back against a team that's getting the DH. We'll see what Polonco's status is for the game. Niese seems to have regressed a bit and threw 100 pitches last game, which for him is a lot. I haven't checked the weather (roof open or closed) yet - but I think we see some runs here.
