MLB Betting News and Notes
By Dave Essler

Cardinals-Pirates: Pittsburgh a respectable 10-10 at home, and lost two of three to St. Louis not long ago. Interesting thing there is the one they WON was a gem by Liriano, and Wacha didn't pitch in that series. The Cards are actually 0-4 in Wacha's four road starts, but his (Wacha's) stats are tremendous, just getting zero run support. Since the Pirates haven't seen much of him, I like the F5 under here.

Phillies-Mets: Mets with a day off and the Phillies obviously playing North of the Border on Thursday. Fausto is a huge grounball pitcher and as poorly as the Phillies have been hitting I'd have to lean to the under. Mejia has been hammered his last two starts, but against the Rockies and hot-hitting Marlins, so he's perhaps due for SOME regression. However, with that in mind, if this goes to 8 we'll look at the under, and we'll take Granderson in our fantasy leagues. IMO Mets win this late.

Rockies-Reds: Pretty much disrespecting the Rockies and simply loving Cueto at -175, IMO. No chance in hell of laying -175 even w/Chacin pitching. I do know the Reds have a day off and the Rockies don't, so if Colorado doesn't need a ton of bullpen we'll look at the Rockies RL, without even looking at pitcher/batter stats.

Cubs-Braves: I am simply not touching a Braves game for a while, or at least not touching the Braves, especially at -175 with Cubs having no rest. Teheran can be great, but we backed him last time and he got hammered. Hammel is at least servicable at times, so PERHAPS I could consider the over at 6.5.

Giants-Dodgers: Interesting that Bumgarner is only -120 or so, and I say only because Vogelsong was "only" +130 against Beckett. So, thrown in Maholm and there' s .50 difference. Not so sure that the value here isn't with the Dodgers in the second game back, and Maholm is exactly the type of junk pitcher that gives the Giants trouble. Obviously the Dodgers have seen plenty of Bumgarner, already twice this season alone. Dodgers or nothing.

Miami-San Diego: Interesting the the Fish go from +125 with Turner to -150 with Jose, and on the road. With Miami's road record and a low total, as you'd expect, I might consider the Padres RL. Jose typically doesn't pitch deep into games, and the Padres have a better bullpen, IMO.

Houston-Baltimore: I actually like the Astros MUCH better against a LHP and seriously considered them against the Tigers, and with the Orioles coming back from a division series against the Rays, I will consider the Astros again, at the very least the RL.

Angels-Blue Jays: Angels opened as favorites and already the Jays and McGowan are -115 most places. With the Jays playing Thursday and the Angels having the night off. I'd like to think they're not quite that easy, and if the Jays have to use much of that bullpen against the Phillies, I can't take them against the Angels.

Twins-Tigers: So, do the Tigers take it out on Hughes like many do, or do the Twins who know Verlander so well put up a fight. That total sitting at only 7.5 might be the tell-tale sign for me. Hughes been much better lately and the wind in blowing in so perhaps some of his flyballs get knocked down. If the total stays or drops, I will play the Twins RL, but cautiously, since they (the Twins) are very streaky and perhaps have started the downturn.

Cleveland-Rays: Cleveland an early game in probably in their hotel in Tampa by the time the Rays started with the Orioles. Kluber hasn't been that great on the road, and threw 100+ pitches in three of the last four games, so IF the Rays don't need much bullpen, I could make a case for the home dog. Cleveland is just NOT a road favorite in Tampa, IMO. Maybe they are, but I can't go there unless the Rays/Price use pen.

Boston-Texas: Obviously the Red Sox rested and have won four of five against decent teams, while the Rangers played that home and home against the Rockies, including Wednesday night. As much as Buccholz has been either great or horrible, Boston is one of the best teams at working pitch counts and getting to pens, so I lean Boston.

Royals-Mariners: Vargas has been pretty solid this season, and Maurer has not. I could only take the Royals here, and would look at the total after Thursday's game.

Yankees-Brewers: Well, no DH for the Yankees. I wonder what Tanaka is like at the plate. I DO know Gallardo is very good at the plate. Tanaka has thrown an ass load of pitches and given up SOME runs lately, and Gallardo CAN keep the ball on the park and on the ground. This will be interesting, if they're hearty and leave the roof open, I might look at the over here.

D-Backs-Chicago: Obvously Chicago not rested but home and Arizona rested with arguably their best pitcher going. Yes, I know McCarthy is 1-6, but his stats are as good as anyone on the staff, really. Rienzo might be 3-0, but his stats are horrible, however the White Sox pen has been terrific. Almost this this is a F5 over here and lean D-Backs for the game if Chicago needs much bullpen against the Cubs.

Washington-Oakland: The "obvious" play here is the A's, but let's not forget the Nationals get the DH and they've been hammering LHP.
