I’m going with the Angels again tonight at home against the Indians. Shoemaker is on the hill and has been stellar over his last three games with an ERA of 0.96 and a WHIP of 1.07. Angels play well at home. They are 12-4 over their last 16 and Cleveland is 2-6 over their last 8 against the Halos. Nelson is behind home plate and the home teams are 27-11 in his last 38 games. Trout and company should get this one.
Today’s pick:
Los Angeles Angels
Angels should snap their 6 game skid tonight at home against the visiting Indians. Garrett Richards is on the hill. His ERA over the last 3 is 2.70 with a WHIP of 0.81. On the other side is Kluber, with an ERA of 3.80 and a WHIP of 1.01. Indians are 3-8 in their last 11 overall and 2-5 in their last 7 meetings against the Halos.
Today’s pick:
Los Angeles Angels
I’m at the A’s game today and I like the home team to win with Sonny Gray on the hill.
Today’s pick:
Oakland Athletics
I expect Pirates to keep it rolling, with Cole on the bump today. I’m sticking with the Bucs.
Today’s pick:
Pittsburgh Pirates
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
