Month: August 2015

Let’s keep it rolling today with Houston at home against the Tigers. Fiers is on the hill for Houston and over his last 3 games, his ERA is 1.35 and his WHIP is 0.90. On the flip side, Boyd is going for Detroit. His ERA is 8.02 and a WHIP of 1.95 over his last 3. Houston’s been stellar at home with a 39-19 record. They have an edge in starting pitching, bullpen, power, speed and bench. Eddings is behind home plate and teams are 8-3 in his last 11 against the Tigers. Astros are 8-0 in their last 8 at home against southpaws. Astros should win this game.

Today’s pick:

Houston Astros

St. Louis is the play for today. Lackey’s on the bump and he loves pitching at home. Over his last 3 games, his ERA is 3.15 and his WHIP is 0.85. On the flip side, Hand from Miami has an ERA of 5.40 with a WHIP of 1.46 over his last 3 games. St. Louis is 7-2 in their last 9 Saturday games and 7-2 in their last 9 overall. Cardinals should get this game.

St. Louis Cardinals

Let’s roll with the Yankees again today. They are good against lefties. Yanks are 9-2 in their last 11 games against southpaws. Nova loves Fridays and is 9-2 in his last 11 Friday games. Blue Jays streak ends today. Yankees should win this one.

Today’s pick:

New York Yankees

Girardi lost that game for the Yankees last night. He should have pulled CC at 90 pitches and he didn’t. And we know the results. Yankees are going to avoid their second sweep with Eovaldi. Yanks are 5-0 in Eovaldi’s last 5 road starts and are 5-0 in his last 5 games against AL Central teams. Bauer’s on the hill for the Indians and they are 1-4 in his last 5 starts. Hirschbeck is behind home plate and that favors the Yankees because they are 4-0 in the last 4 that he has umped.

Today’s pick:

New York Yankees

Tough loss for the Yankees last night but CC returns to his old home Cleveland, where he was stellar. They should snap their 4 game skid tonight. In Sebathia’s last 5 games, Yanks were 4-1 and they are 16-5 in his last 21 Wednesday starts. Indians don’t fare well against lefties. They are 3-13 over their last 16 games against southpaws. Yankees should get this one.

Tonight’s pick:

New York Yankees

Mets should end their 2 game skid tonight at home against the Rockies. The lefty Niese is pitching and the Rockies have trouble with south paws. Mets are 38-18 at home this year and the Rockies have struggled in New York, going 16-36 in their last 52 games.

No blog tomorrow – traveling.

Today’s pick:

New York Mets

Encarnacion and Martin are out for the Jays today. Yanks avoid the sweep.
