Good morning Pregame and Happy Independence Day weekend to you all. I took yesterday off, got several plays today as follows:
St Louis -1.5 +130 - Cards have suddenly lost 3 in a row at home! The ace of your staff is paid to go out and stop this sort of bleeding and that's what Wacha will do tonight.
Arizona -1.5 +120 I might also put some on the ML. Chase Anderson is quietly having a terrific season.
Houston ML +102 Astros just took 2 of 3 at home vs the Yanks and swept the Royals. I'll take my chances fading Masterson against the Astros. Look for this Astros team to hit a few out tonight.
Texas ML +127
Cleveland ML +123 Not terribly excited about Bauer but I do think this is a good spot to fade the Pirates after a very successful series in Detroit. Plus, Morton has been banged around his last couple of starts.
On a more personal note, I will be going to the Royals/Twins game tonight. I know Tommy Milone is pitching great for the Twins, but I just don't see the Royals losing 5 in a row. Jeremy Guthrie has been pitching reasonably well himself. I like this spot for KC, and though I won't make this an official play, I would definitely lean to KC tonight. A play to the Over might be in store for tonight as well.
