0-2 -10 yesterday
136-125 +15.30 ytd.
Well the Brewers were winning a lot of yesterday's game till their bullpen blew the game and they couldn't recover late. Almost got real lucky in that tigers game when they hit three homers of David Robertson to tie it but to the blow the game in the 9th. Going with all first five inning lines today be side of these choices these teams bullpens are just not trustworthy.
Tigers +.5 -125 F5 Verlander vs Pomeranz 6.25u to win 5u
Easily my favorite play today. Verlander has been pitchin very well this season and lately plus he's had some pretty good success against the Red Sox his last few starts. Pomeranz was really shaky in his debut against a pretty mediocre twins team. Only going first half because the Tigers bullpen is not worth the risk for a full game play.
Phillies +130 F5 hellickson vs Cosart 5u to win 6.5u
Cosart? Where has this guy been? Hellickson pitching well lately and he's show casing himself for contending teams. what a better way to boost your stock then pitching well against a contending team like the Marlins.
Reds -105 F5 Desclafani vs peavy 5.25u to win 5u
Last time Peavy faced the Reds he gave up 3 homers and was hammered. He's pitched better since then but Desclafani has pitched well as of late too. Another team not worthy of a full game bet considering how terrible their bullpen is but I'll take the risk on the first five.
Athletics +120 F5 Mengden vs Perez 5u to win 6u
Like this Mengden dude a lot. He's struggled at times and has some poor numbers but he's hes pitched a lot better then what those numbers would indicate. Rangers have been bety inconsistent their last like twenty games or something and they've never faced this Mengden who has a very awkward delivery that could be hard for the Rangers to pick up through the first five innings. Perez has pitched very well at home but I just don't understand how this dudes luck can keep holding up for much longer. He doesn't strike people out and doesn't have the stuff that overpowers you. Athletics are capable of deploying an entire righty lineup and i like this kind of situation against a mid tier lefty.
