Tuesday MLB

[mikey_flyballs]

Rough day y'day, going 0-2 dropping 2.38 units. YTD 41-47, -6.39 units.

Starting off today with Royals at Tigers OVER 10 (+100). No need to think too hard about this one, as both starting pitchers are in atrocious form since the All Star Break. Sanchez has an ERA of nearly 9 with a WHIP of nearly 2 in that timeframe, while Vargas has an ERA close to 7 and WHIP around 1.60 since then. Both are giving up a ton of homers too, and the wind is blowing out. After getting injured in his last start 3 weeks ago, Sanchez made a rehab start at low-A West Michigan last week and it didn't go well, as he allowed 3 runs on 5 hits in just 4 innings of work. The Tigers' offense is at its best in home games vs. left-handed pitching, and neither bullpen has performed well lately. Lots of factors lining up to suggest a high-scoring game!

Going all out tonight.

Add:
Angels/Athletics OVER 9.5 (-105). The Angels are red hot at the plate and Richards isn't expected to be able to throw a ton of pitches, while the Angels' pen pitched almost a full game y'day. (Note that the As offense is also better in home games.)

DBacks +115. They're on fire RN, why not take them as a dog with Greinke starting? Even though his #s aren't as good on the road, he owns a career 2.30 ERA/0.96 WHIP at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers, OTOH, can't get anything going lately.

Pirates +156. Square/sharp play.

Also riding Kevin's picks: Tigers +121, Rockies -173, Cards/Padres UNDER 8.5 (-115).

Should be a fun night!
