Last night's total is still being finalized as games are finishing up. Here's a brief look at tomorrow's games.
Ariz / Cincy — Monday's game is still going on as we type this. Like Cincinnati bullpen (sometimes) more than Arizona, but both will be banged up after tonight, I'd imagine. Cahill has seven losses but was used out of pen early this year, Cincy has lost four of Leake's last five starts.
Wash / Miami — Fish are red hot, winners of five straight and eight of 10. Strasburg is on the bump for the Nats and they, of course, are favored here. Could be the first loss in the streak for Fish here.
Phils / Mets — Phils favored on the road here, Hamels will be chucking it against NY. Mets beat up on the Phils last night and Bartolo was solid in the win. Here we see Gee made the favorite to start, but Phils have taken over the money and the line. Mets middle of the road against lefties, Gee much better at home than on the road.
Col / Chi — Edwin Jackson is nothing but fade material for me at this point. De La Rosa is not good on the road, however. Might look to the over, if and when the total gets posted.
Stl / San Diego — Fathers have lost three in a row, Cards have won two in a row. Fathers favored. Best hurler on the mound in Ross and battled tough with the Braves in Atlanta. Cards are third-worst in the league in runs scored, but hold a +11 mark against opponents this season. Pitching is their pedigree and I like Lynn on the hill.
Atl / Dodgers — Another good pitching matchup with Harang (journeyman) against Beckett (former star, journeyman). Beckett, as we pointed out in his last start, has not pitched well against good teams this year and gotten the best of the lower level squads. Low total here.
Pitts / San Fran — Giants have been awesome at home when Hudson throws, winning seven of his 10 starts. However, they've lost three in a row in San Fran in his starts. Giants have lost four in a row (could lose on Monday too). Quick, who has the best on-base percentage in the league? That's right, the Pirates. Could take them here.
LAA / Bal — Os just beat up on Anaheim out west. Angels then beat up on the Tigers. Both have gone 6-4 in last 10 games overall and we see the Angels favored on the road here with Weaver on the hill. Baltimore at home, however, seems like a must play when they are a dog.
Sea / Cleve — Seattle is eight games over the .500 mark in road games this season. Cleveland is 29-19 at Progressive Field this season. Something will have to give in this matchup. Must admit I do like Indians at plus-money at home.
Sox / Tigers — Detroit is the best team in the league at hitting lefties. Quintana can't seem to buy a win when he's on the mound as he leads the league in no decisions the past two years. Quintana has a better ERA on the road, but has five losses there as well this season. Detroit has underachieved in home games this year, but can certainly distance themselves in the AL Central by getting some wins over the Sox.
Tor / Bos — Blue Jays flat out beat up on Boston on Monday. Cannot back the Sawks right now. Not sure I want to take the Jays on the road as I don't think they will be able to put another great offensive game on display. But they've done it before.
NYY / Tex — Yanks are a -150 on the road. McCarthy is 2-0 since being acquired by New York as well, which makes you scratch your head. Things like these are why there are large resorts in the middle of the desert.
Min / Kan — Don't like the Twins here. Backed Shields and the Royals on our last 3* bet and the bullpen for the Royals got the job done. Not going to pay 70 cents here.
Oak / Hou — Not completely shocked the Astros won Monday against As. Would bet they won't do it again.
Mil / Tampa — Playing the Rays until they lose.
