Month: September 2015

What is wrong with Houston? I’ll tell you everything. Lay off them until they turn it around. I like Nats today. Zimmerman is on the hill and he is 7-1, in his last 8 home games against the Marlins.

Today’s pick:

Washington Nationals

Houston is finally coming home, where they have an impressive record of 48-24. The Astros are 4-0 at home following a road trip of 7 days or more, and are 12-1 at home vs. a left-handed pitcher. Fiers is on the hill for Houston and they are 4-1 in his last 5 starts. Astros should stop the bleeding tonight.

Pirates might be a good dog pick at +175. McCutchen and Ramirez rested yesterday and even Greinke is beatable.

Today’s picks:

Houston Astros
Pittsburgh Pirates

Big line change in Jays/Braves game. Jays opened at -220 and are now at -170. Careful!

The red hot Blue Jays are in Atlanta tonight and they are facing Matt Wisler. Wisler’s ERA is 7.24 with a WHIP of 1.90 over his last 3 games. Atlanta is 0-6 in his last 6 starts. The Blue Jays have the edge in every category: starting pitching, bullpen, hitting, power, speed, defense and bench. Barksdale is behind home plate and the Braves are 0-7 in his last 7 games umping. This could be a big night for Bautista and company.

Today’s pick:

Toronto Blue Jays

McCutchen and Ramirez are doubtful for the Pirates today due to a routine day off to rest.

The Houston Astros should snap their 2 game skid tonight in Texas with Keuchel on the hill. Keuchel comes into tonight’s game with an ERA of 1.71 and a WHIP of 1.00 over his last 3. The ‘Stros are 8-2 in his last 10 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Perez for the Rangers on the other hand, has an ERA of 5.71 and a WHIP of 1.50 over his last 3 starts. Rangers are 2-5 over his last 7 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Morales is behind home plate and the Rangers are 1-4 in their last 5 when he is umping.

Today’s pick:
