NBA Playoff Tuesday Night !!
Yesterday's Premium Play - 3*** GS/Hou OV = WINNER
Yesterday's Free Play - NY Mets/Phillies OV = WINNER
***Overall very happy that we hit the West Conf Final game last night. It was a bit of a struggle getting comfortable with that series. We nailed down a winner last night and my handicap was just about spot on the last two days. Can't complain one bit about how those games played out. Mets go yard on 3 different occasions yesterday and put up 6 runs. We get the over to cash and we now move to 22-15 with our MLB Free Plays. Back to Back 2-0 sweeps..Let's make this run 6-0 by night's end !!
Today's Free Play (1)
904 PIT -1.5 (+145) 5Dimes vs 903 MiaAnalysis: The Pittsburgh Pirates have finally woken up..They have won 4 straight games and the mood in the dugout is on a high right now..Players are starting to have some fun right now for the Pirates and that should continue here today..The Pirates are looking to make it 5 straight and looking to hold an opponent for the 5th straight game to 2 runs or less. Pirates pitching has picked up, and they have only allowed a total of 6 runs in 4 games..On the flip side the Pirates have scored a total of 25 runs in 4 games..Big difference right now with this Pirates team...Pirates will send Jeff Locke to the hill today...Locke has been shaky for the most part for this year..His ERA is near 5.30 and his WHIP is near 1.50...Locke has looked rough in his last two starts going 9 total innings. He gave up 13 hits and 8 ER..He also walked 5 batters. Still Locke can bring his A game for this one today..Again the mood right now with the Pirates is good..Locke should feel a bit of pressure relief as well in this one..The Marlins will send a young hurler out to the mound in Jose Urena....Urena hasn't pitched a bunch this year for the Marlins, but he gets the nod here for tonight's start. He pitched a bit in April going a total of 3 innings..He gave up 4 hits and 3 ER... Low strikeout guy as well..Urena comes up from AAA New Orleans. He has looked good in the lesser league, but i'm a little concerned with his walk to strikeout ratio. He was called up here on quick notice as well...The Marlins have been lucky to see 9 RHP in a row..Now they get LHP in Locke and that might just hurt this teams timing today..Locke should be able to locate his pitches here in this one..Pittsburgh will see another RHP and they have hit the last 6 RHP pitchers they faced very well. The Marlins are 3-12 right now and they look like they are getting beat up on the injury list almost daily...They are placing guys on the DL left and right and they just fired the coach recently..Saltalamacchia was released and numerous guys are on rehab assignments. The bullpen is rather thin, and has been getting more and more work as these starters start to dissapear from the roation..The bullpen ranks 20th and has a ERA of 3.96...In short, this Marlins team has fallen apart in every area. The Pirates are on the mend right now and they have a head full of steam..They only sit 6.5 out and they need to make some ground up here on the division leader Cardinals with the schedule that's setup for them...Pirates are now a .500 ball club sitting at 22-22 and they have a long road trip ahead of them..In fact they play the next 10 games on the road. Getting a win here today with Locke at home would be great for his game right now..Pirates roll against a team who is just a disaster right now.
