The Pirates took a hit last night but I see them bouncing back tonight with Locke on the hill. Over his last 5 starts, he has a 2.67 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Lorenzen is going for the Reds with an ERA of 7.04 and a WHIP of 1.96, over his last 5. I think McCutchen and company get revenge tonight.
Today’s pick:
Pittsburgh Pirates
I’m taking the Nationals tonight because I see the number going up by morning. Nats are 22-16 in the day and Miami is 15-20 in the day. Scherzer’s on the hill and I don’t see him having two bad outings in a row. Nats are 7-2 in Scherzer’s last 9 starts as a favorite. Marlins are 2-7 in Haren’s last 9 starts. I like the visiting team in this one.
Thursday’s pick:
Washington Nationals
Cardinals look like a good play today at home. Lackey’s on the hill and has been awesome with an ERA of 1.74 and a WHIP of 1.26 over his last 3 games. DeSclafani hasn’t fared as well. Over his last 3, his ERA is 5.60 with a WHIP of 1.47. St. Louis is 7-2 in their last 9 Wednesday games and 52-17 in their last 69 home games. I like the home team today.
Today’s pick:
Saint Louis Cardinals
My play for today is the Astros and McHugh at home against the Angels and Wilson. Both pitchers’ stats are about even. McHugh is 4-1 in his last 5 starts against the Angels and Houston’s 8-1 in McHugh’s last 9 Tuesday games. Astros have lost 2 in a row and have a good home record of 33-17. Angels haven’t fared well against the Astros. They are 1-5 in their last 6 meetings in Houston. I like the home team tonight.
Today’s pick:
Houston Astros
Look for San Francisco to continue their winning streak tonight at home against the Brewers. They’ve dominated the Brewers. Milwaukee is 0-6 in their last 6 meetings against the Giants. Heston’s on the hill for SF. He’s been awesome – over his last 3 games, his ERA is 0.42 and his WHIP is 0.80. Giants are 10-4 in Heston’s last 14 starts. Kyle Lohse is going for the Brewers and over his last 3 games, his ERA is 6.29 with a WHIP of 1.45. Brewers are 3-9 in his last 12 starts.
Today’s pick:
San Francisco Giants
Toronto and Buehrle looks like a good play today. He’s been sharp over his last 3 with an ERA of 1.23 and a WHIP of 1.00. He’s going for his 12th win of the year which would tie King Felix and Keuchel for the most wins in the AL. He’s 14-4 against AL West and the Jays are 5-1 in Buehrle’s last 5 starts. On the flip side, Walker for the Mariners has an ERA of 9.39 and a WHIP of 1.37 over his last 3 games. Joey Bats and company could light this guy up. Fairchild’s behind home plate and the Jays are 4-0 in his last 4 Sunday games and the Mariners are 5-12 in their last 17 when he’s umping.
Today’s pick:
Toronto Blue Jays
My play today is the Royals with Duffy against the Astros and Feldman. Royals are 4-1 in Duffy’s last 5 starts and 12-4 in his last 16 as a home favorite. He’s been sharp over his last 3 outings with an ERA of 1.33 and a WHIP of 1.08. Feldman over his last 3 has an ERA of 4.58 and a WHIP of 1.64. Gibson’s behind home plate and in his last 6 Saturday games, the home teams are 5-1.
Today’s pick:
Kansas City Royals
