Detroit/ Chicago Under 9: Google News Play This is a huge 1 game set and I feel the offenses may be a bit tight, giving the pitchers the edge. Jose Quintana has made 6 day starts this year and he has a 1.81 ERA in those starts. with just 4.83 rpg being scored and the Under going 6-0. Jose has also pitched well at home, with a 3.49 ERA, including just allowing 1 ER in his last start here, which was vs Detroit.Doug Fister has been very solid for Detroit with a 3.49 ERA overall and a 3.25 ERA on the road. Doug has allowed 2 ER's or less in 9 of his last 11 starts and 3 ER's or less in 5 of his last 6 starts vs the White Sox. He has allowed just 2 ER's in both of his starts vs Chicago this year. Yes these two offenses are strong but they are also a bit banged up and my be a bit tight as this is a big game. I give the pitching tyhe edge in this one, especially with Quintana getting a day start and that should have this game fall well short  of the total in this one. KEY TREND--- The Under is 18-5-3 in Detroit's last 26 games overall.

Philadelphia/ NY Mets OVER 6.5: Google News Play The Mets have struggled to score of late, but they did just score 13 runs in their 3 game set vs the Milwaukee over the weekend. Tyhe Mets have also scored 18 runs in their 3 games vs Cliff Lee this year and 11 runs in the two games that Dickey has started vs the Phils. The Mets have averaged 5.8 rpg in their last 6 her vs the Phils, so I look for them to put up a few in this one.  Philadephia's offense has been solid of late, averaging 5 rpg in their last 10 games and they have averaged 4.43 ypg on the road this year. Philly has also average 4.46 rpg for Lee on the road and his road starts have averaged 8.3 rpg. They should be able to score a few off of Dickey, especially since they tagged him for 5 ER's in his last start vs them. Both teams should be good for at least 3 in this one. KEY TREND--- The Over is 22-4-1 in the last 27 games in this series.   
 

POWER ANGLE PLAY

Baltimore -120 over SEATTLE: The O's need to get back on track after losing 2 of 3 in Oakland and what better way than to face a team that they have won 5 straight against. Chris Tillman gets the call for the O'sd in this one and he has been solid of late, posting a 2-0 mark and a 2.70 ERA in his last 3 starts. Chris has been dynamite in his 3 career starts vs the M's, posting a 3-0 record and an 0.83 ERA in the starts. This year he has 2 starts vs them and has allowed just 1 ER in 15.2 innings of work. Total domination. On the other side we have a not so dominant Hector Noesi, who is the worst starter on this Seattle staff. Hector spent some time in the Minors and will be making his first start since July 4th. He is 2-11 with a 5.54 ERA on the year, including 2-6 with a 4.03 ERA at home. At night he has been horrible, with a 1-7 mark and a 6.23 ERA and he has 1 starts vs the O's (this year) allowing 4 ER's in just 5 innings in that start. Seattle as a team is not playing well, having won just 3 of their last 9 and will not fare much better in this one vs a Baltimore team that MUST get back to winning. POWER ANGLE FOR THIS PLAY--- Since 2005 the Orioles are 12-1 in the first game of a road series when they are off a win in which they trailed after the first inning.
