Atlanta/ NY Yanks Under 9: Gonna look to the Under in this. The Braves offense has been horrid of late as they have averaged just 1.7 rpg in their last 6 games and they have been been shutout in 3 of those games, including their last 2. Now they get to take on a Yankees staff that has a 1.97 ERA in June, with teams hitting just .224 off of them during the month. CC Sabathia gets the Ball for the Yanks tonight and he has been tough at home this year, with a 2.45 ERA and he hasn't allowed more than 3 ER's in any of his 5 home starts this year. if CC has any trouble at all then a Yanks pen that has a 1.93 ERA in its last 10 games will take over. This Atlanta, that scored just 6 runs in their three games with the Yanks last week, will not break out tonight. Mike Minor has had a tough year, but he comes in allowing just 2 total ER's in his last 2 starts, including allowing just 1 ER in 7.1 innings to the Yanks in last week's meeting. The Yanks offense has been solid this year as always, but coming off a trip they may be a bit sluggish here, and will probably need to put up at least 7 runs for this one to go over as the Braves will be good for no more than 3. I look for abot 7 runs in this one.

NY Mets/ Baltimore Under 7: The Mets offense comes in struggling a bit as they have put up just 5 runs in their last 3 games and now they must take on a Baltimore team that has thrown 2 shutouts in a row. Scoring problems is nothing new for the Mets at home as they average just 3.85 rpg at Citi Field, compared to 5 rpg on the road. The O's come in hitting just .231 vs righties on the road and theyu score just 3.7 rp/9 off off them away from home. Jake Arrieta gets the ball for the O's tonight and he has struggled with a 5.89 ERA overall, but slightly better on the road with a 4.63 ERA, but he is facing a struggling Mets offense so he should have a good showing tonight, plus if he does get in trouble then he will turn the ball over to an O's pen 1.61 ERA on the road. The Mets will counter with the hottest pitcher in baseball, R.A. Dickey. R.A Comes in not haiving allowed an ER in his last 4 starts, which spans 32.67 innings of work. In his last 5 starts he has a 0.22 ERA and has 50 K's to just 3 walks over that span. At home he has a 1.45 ERA and those home starts have averaged just 6 rpg. Neither team will score a lot of runs in this one.  

LA Angels/ San Francisco Over 7: Matt Cain has been awesome with an 0.38 ERA in his last 3 starts, but a closer look shows that two of those starts were at home, and the other one was in San Diego. On the road this year Matt has a 3.23 ERA, with his road starts averaging 9.5 rpg and that's thanks mainly to the fact that the Giants score better on the road (4.72 rpg) than at home (3.31 rpg) The Giants hit .274 on the road and they have averaged 5 rpg in Cain's 5 road starts. Jerome Williams was having a nice year, but he but he has allowed 10 ER's in his last 2 starts and could have problems with the Giants offense that is hitting .285 and scoring 4.4 rpg in their last 5 games. Jerome does have a 2.93 ERA at home, but his mates have averaged 5.2 rpg for him at home, thus his home starts have averaged 8.2 rpg. The Angels have had problems scoring of late, but they still average 3.8 rpg at home and should be good for at least 3 here, while the Giants will also put at least 3 on the board as well and that will at worst give us a push.
