08-25-16 | Royals v. Marlins -120 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
Royals (Volquez) @ Marlins (Koehler) 7:10 PM ET Play On: Marlins -120 (10*) Kansas City had their nine game win streak come to an end last night in Miami. The Royals have shown signs of reverting back to being anemic offensively, evidenced by their combined 3 runs scored and 19 hits over its last three games. Although Kansas City has been red-hot of late, we must keep in mind, they’re still a team that’s gone a dismal 25-40 during away games this season. Edinson Volquez gets the start tonight for Kansas City, and he’s struggled mightily over his last five starts. Through that course of time, Volquez has compiled a hefty 7.24 and 1.79 WHIP. Miami’s Tom Koehler will look to continue his recent string of superb pitching performances. Koehler has collected a terrific 1.62 ERA and 0.85 WHIP through his previous six starts. The Marlins bullpen has been lights out over its preceding seven games, proven by their excellent staff ERA of 1.29 during that time period. Take the Marlins for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

08-24-16 | Braves v. Diamondbacks OVER 8.5 | Top | 9-10 | Win | 103 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
Atlanta (Teheran) @ Arizona (Greinke) 9:40 PM ET Play On: Over 8.5 (10*) We have the aces of both staffs going in this game, coupled with what seems to be a very high total, and especially so in a National League affair. A majority of MLB bettor’s immediate reaction is to go under the total, and thinking they’ve been handed an absolute gift. However, it’s never that easy in sports betting, and bookmakers just aren’t that generous. Since returning from the DL, Arizona’s Zack Greinke has made three starts, compiling an awful 8.59 ERA, and all of those games went over the total. His pitching adversary tonight will be Julio Teheran who’s also coming off a recent DL stint. During his one start before and once since returning from the DL, Teheran collected a lofty 5.40 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. Both bullpen staffs have been horrible over each of their previous seven games. Atlanta has gone 11-1 over the total in its previous 12 games, and that includes surpassing the number seven straight times. Arizona is 25-5-1 over the total in its preceding 26 games, and that includes 9-1 over the number through their last 10. Atlanta enters today with a .246 team batting average for the season. Julio Teheran has an outstanding 0.99 WHIP in 2016. The Arizona bullpen has a sizable 5.16 ERA as a staff this year. These three pieces of data are significant. Any National League road team with a total of 8.5 to 10.0, possessing a team batting average of .250 or less, and their starting pitcher has a WHIP of 1.15 or better, versus an opponent with a bullpen ERA of 4.50 or worse, resulted in those road teams going 38-12 (76%) over the total since 1997. Those 50 games averaged a combined 11.2 runs scored per out. Take this game to go over the total for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Rockies (Gray) @ Brewers (Anderson) 8:10 PM ET Play On: Brewers +110 (5*) Colorado’ Jon Gray has been in brutal form over his last three starting, compiling a massive 13.50 ERA and 2.33 WHIP. Conversely, Chase Anderson of Milwaukee has exhibited stellar form over his last three starts, evidenced by his 2.12 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through that course of time. Milwaukee has a .390 slugging percentage in 2016, and Chase Anderson has walked only one man during his previous two starts. Jon Gray has a 1.26 WHIP for the season. Any team (Brewers) that’s +125 to -125 on the money line, and their starting pitcher issued 1 walk or less in each of his last 2 starts, and is facing a National League pitcher with owns a 1.25 to 1.35 WHIP, resulted in those teams going 31-9 (77.5%) since 2012.

A’s starter Andrew Triggs has an excellent 0.79 WHIP during his only 3 starts in 2016. Cleveland has gone under the total in 6 of their previous 9 games. Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco has seen 7 of his 9 road starts go under the total this year, and his 1.97 ERA in addition to a superb 0.81 WHIP during those outings are a major reason why. Go under the total for a 5* wager. |

08-19-16 | Cubs v. Rockies UNDER 10.5 | Top | 6-7 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
Cubs (Hendricks) @ Rockies (Anderson) 8:40 PM ET Play On: Under 10.5 (10*) You would be hard pressed to find another starting pitcher in baseball hotter than Kyle Hendricks is right now. The Cubs hurler has allowed 2 earned runs or less in the last 10 and 14 of his previous 15 starts. Hendricks has compiled an excellent 2.15 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 22 starts this season. Colorado is 21-9 (70%) under the total this season when facing a National League starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.25 or less. Tyler Anderson has pitched very well in 2016 at hitter friendly Coors Field. Anderson has a more than respectable 3.04 ERA during 8 starts at home. Take this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager. |

08-18-16 | Red Sox v. Tigers -116 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Red Sox (Buchholz) @ Tigers (Boyd) 1:10 PM ET Play On: Tigers -116 (5*) The Red Sox are victims of a scheduling quandary today. This will be their third city they’ve had to visit in four days on this current road trip. Furthermore, they played at Camden Yards in Baltimore last night, jumped on a plane to Detroit, and with very little rest at all are back at it for an early matinee affair. Conversely, Detroit is in the middle of a 7-game home stand. Clay Buchholz gets the start today and he’s exhibited poor form over his last three starts, proven by a large 1.86 WHIP during that time period. Boston is 4-10 this year with Buchholz as their starter, and his sizable 6.30 ERA in those outings is a major reason why. Detroit goes with southpaw Matt Boyd today, and he’s 5-1 over his last 6 teams starts with an outstanding 2.23 ERA. The money line for this game speaks volumes. Detroit has gone 2-8 over their last 10 games, Boston enters today on a 6-game win streak, and yet it’s Detroit who’s the favorite. Take the Tigers for a 5* money line wager. |

08-17-16 | Royals +111 v. Tigers | Top | 4-1 | Win | 111 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
Royals (Ventura) @ Tigers (Sanchez) 7:10 PM ET Play On: Royals +111 (10*) Just when the defending world champions seemed to have one foot in the grave, they’re attempting to resuscitate themselves for one final push. The Royals are 6-1 in their last 7 and 8-2 over its previous 10 games. Yordano Ventura enters today in good form over his last three starts, evidenced by his 2.89 ERA and 1.29 during those outings. Ventura has also had Detroit’s number this year, compiling an outstanding 1.96 ERA in 3 starts against the Tigers. The Royals bullpen has been magnificent through the course of its last 7 games, proven by a microscopic 0.47 ERA as a staff over their last 7 games. Detroit is a dismal 4-15 this year with Anibal Sanchez as their starting pitcher. His 6.75 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in those 19 starts as been a major contributor to that lack of success. The Tigers enter today having lost 7 of its last 9 games. Take the Royals for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Red Sox (Rodriguez) @ Orioles (Gallardo) 7:05 PM ET Play On: Orioles -102 (5*) For starters, the Orioles are an excellent 39-17 (.696) at Camden yards this season. That winning percentage and the current money line creates a huge betting value. The Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez has compiled a lofty 5.81 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in six road starts this season. Yavoni Gallardo is 5-0 during his home team starts this year, and collected a stellar 3.33 ERA in those outings. Baltimore rallied from a 7-1 deficit to come away with an 8-7 win at San Francisco in their previous game. The Red Sox are coming off a 3-2 win yesterday in Cleveland. Any team (Orioles) that’s +125 to -125 on the money line, and scored 8 runs or more in their previous game, versus an opponent that scored and allowed 3 runs or less in their previous game, resulted in those teams going 45-13 (77.6%) since 2012. The average money line price for those teams was +101.3. Take the Orioles for a 5* money line wager. |

08-15-16 | A's v. Rangers UNDER 10 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
A’s (Detwiler) @ Rangers (Perez) 8:05 PM ET Play On: Under 10.0 (5*) Ross Detwiler was brilliant last Wednesday in his lone start this season. He allowed no earned runs on six hits while walking none in 8.0 pitched during a 1-0 win over Baltimore. He’ll be facing a Rangers team that’s been shutout in each of their last 2 games. Oakland has scored just an average of 2.8 runs per game over their last 10 contests. Texas has gone over the total in only 2 of its previous 15 games. Martin Perez has pitched significantly better at home this season as opposed to the road. Perez has compiled is 8-4 under the number at home with a stellar 2.47 ERA. Relative to this high total, I like this to be a low scoring affair. Take this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

Straily made one starts versus Milwaukee this year, allowing no earned runs on 3 hits in 7.0 innings pitched.

However, it’s very rare that a starting pitcher will follow that kind of performance up with anywhere near a dominant outing. Besides, this is a Royals team that’s scored 3 runs or less in its last 9, and 12 of their previous 13 games. Kansas City is a horrible 8-21 over their last 29 games. Toronto is 9-3 over their last 12, and that includes a current 4-game winning streak. Aaron Sanchez is in fantastic form over his last 3 starts, gathering a 1.29 ERA and 0.81 WHIP during that course of time.

As a matter of fact, two of those starts came at Safeco Field in Seattle, and he posted a significantly worse 14.14 ERA in those appearances.

White Sox (Sale) @ Tigers (Fulmer) 7:10 PM ET Play On: Tigers -129 (10*) I’m sure there are plenty of enticed baseball bettors thinking they’re getting a steal today with Chris Sale as an underdog. However, I’m not one of them. Detroit is winners of 7 straight games. During that time, they’re averaging 8.0 runs scored per game, and compiled a fantastic .901 team OPS. Detroit defeated the White Sox last night by a convincing 11-5 score. The Tigers are 17-3 this season following a game in which they scored 8 runs or more. Contrarily, the White Sox are a futile 0-7 in 2016 after giving up 8 runs or more during its last games. Michael Fulmer is a terrific 14-2 in his team starts this season with a 2.58 ERA, and that includes 4-0 at home with a very impressive 1.42 ERA. The White Sox have lost 5 of their preceding 6 games, and have a dismal .633 OPS over its last 7 outings. Take the Tigers for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

The Cardinals bullpen has been lights out of late, posting a staff ERA of 1.59 in their prior 7 games. Daniel Straily has seen each of his last 3 starts go under the total, and his 1.31 ERA in addition to 0.77 WHIP were key contributing factors. The much maligned Red bullpen has really come on recently, shown by a microscopic 0.79 staff ERA in their last 7 games. Jay Bruce was traded to the Mets on Monday, and that means the middle of the Reds batting order will be missing 26 home runs in addition to 80 RBI’s.

Brewers (Nelson) @ Padres (Cosart) 10:10 PM ET Play On: Milwaukee -117 (10*) Jimmy Nelson is coming off a terrible start at home against Arizona. Nevertheless, Nelson’s preceding starts saw him allow 2 earned runs or less on each occasion. The Brewers right-handed hurler has made three career starts against San Diego, compiled an excellent 1.83 ERA, and all of those outings took place since 2014. The Milwaukee bullpen has been superb over its last 7 games, evidenced by a combined 1.21 during that course of time. “The Brew Crew” is coming off a very successful 6-1 home stand, and had an outstanding .857 team OPS in that time period. Jarred Cosart makes his first start since being traded from Miami. Cosart is 0-3 in his three road team starts this year, and is 6.00 ERA and 1.87 WHIP were a huge contributing factor as to why. San Diego is a dismal 29-47 (.382) when facing right-handed starting pitchers. Their paltry .282 team OBP and .654 OPS in those aforementioned 76 games has led to that futility.

Archie Bradley has posted a lofty 5.15 ERA and allowed 9 home runs in just 36 2/3 innings pitched this year at home. The D-Backs are a dreadful 17-35 (.327) at home in 2016.

He’s shown even better in 8 road starts, compiling a 1.72 ERA during those outings. At the time of this writing, Washington is a -194 money line favorite. The Nationals possess a .248 team batting average thus far in 2016. Archie Bradley owns a 4.17 ERA during 14 starts this season. The combination of these pieces of data qualifies for a highly successful betting line angle. Any money line favorite of -150 or greater, possessing a .255 or less team batting average, and is facing a National League starting pitcher with a 3.70 to 4.20 ERA, resulted in those favorites going 38-3 (92.7%) since 2012.

Skaggs was superb in his last two starts at AAA Salt Lake before being called up, allowing just 2 hits while striking out 26 in 12 2/3 innings pitched. Boston has hit a bit of a wall of late, going 1-5 during their last 6, and 2-7 in their previous 9 games. Steven Wright has made three starts versus the Angels since 2015, and compiled an unimpressive 6.61 ERA in those outings.

Additionally, Milwaukee is averaging 2.6 runs scored per game more than Arizona during that aforementioned seven game span.

Since 2015, Pittsburgh is 18-2 in the 2nd half of the season when Liriano is their starting pitcher. The Pirates didn’t play yesterday and that’s significant. They’ve gone an extremely profitable 11-2 this year following a day off. It seems strange to see Seattle as an underdog with Felix Hernandez on the mound. Nevertheless, that’s exactly the scenario for today and justifiably so. This will be his 2nd start since returning from the DL.

Dodgers (Kazmir) @ Nationals (Lopez) 7:05 PM ET Play On: Dodgers -111 (10*) It seems awfully strange to see Washington as a home underdog. However, combing through the fact pertaining to this game, it became apparent to me as to why. Washing will send 22-year-old Reynaldo Lopez out to the mound today. Lopez will be making his MLB debut. The young right-hander spent this year at AA Harrisburg and AAA Syracuse where he made a combined 16 starts. He’ll be facing a Dodgers batting order that has an impressive .365 OBP and .808 OPS over its last 7 games. Conversely, Washing has just a .299 OBP and .676 OPS during their previous 7 outings. The Dodgers have a +0.6 run per game differential this season, and Washington has an imposing +1.6 run per game differential for the year. This sets up an extremely profitable MLB money line betting angle that is applicable to this game. Any money line favorite of -110 or more, possessing a +0.5 or greater run per game differential, and is facing a team with a +1.0 or more run per game differential, resulted in those favorites going 116-44 (72.5%) since 2012.
