SPORTS WAGERS

Cincinnati -109 over CLEVELAND

The Reds are scorching hot while the Indians are ice cold and that alone makes the visitor much more appealing. Cincinnati has won six straight, including a three-game sweep over these Indians last week in which they outscored them 24-9. Cincy will face Derek Lowe for the second time in less than a week and while they managed to defeat him, they only had five hits and three runs in that victory. This second time around, more damage is likely. Lowe has 28 strikeouts and 26 walks issued in 79 frames. He has one of the lowest strikeout rates of any pitcher in the game. Lowe has seen his ERA rise from 2.05 on May 15 to his current 3.78. He hasn’t reached his xERA of 4.44 yet and we’re not about to be blinded by his 7-5 record either. Mat Latos is starting to turn things around after an ugly April. He’s allowed just five runs over his last two starts and the Reds have won his last five overall. The Dusty Baker/Derek Lowe feud takes on another chapter tonight. At the age of 38 and wallowing in mediocrity, you would think that Lowe would’ve learned to keep quiet. Baker and the Reds are smarter and will do their talking with their bats. Play: Cincinnati -109 (Risking 2.18 units to win 2).

Baltimore +165 over N.Y. METS

R.A. Dickey has been lights out and is an early season favorite to win the Cy Young award. He’s coming off a brilliant one-hitter against the Rays at the Trop, he’s 10-1 overall, he has a 2.20 ERA and at home, Dickey is 5-0 with a 1.45 ERA. Dickey has allowed one earned run combined over his last five starts. His last poor start was on April 18. These are Sandy Koufax/Bob Gibson like numbers and while Dickey is very good, he’s not this good. He’s been grabbing headlines all week after that near no-hitter in which he was robbed of it by a poor call by the official scorekeeper on an error by David Wright. This is the perfect letdown spot after that intense performance. Additionally, the Mets have gone cold with three straight losses in which they scored just five times. Jake Arrieta stumbled into a spot start his last time out and took full advantage, striking out nine while giving up one run in seven innings vs. Pittsburgh. His base skills have been excellent this season despite a 5.89 ERA, which can be blamed by an extremely low 58% strand percentage. The Orioles continue to play winning baseball with a series win over the Braves in Atlanta over the weekend, they’ve won seven of eight and they’re dangerous enough to break through against Dickey. The price is right too. Play: Baltimore +165 (Risking 2 units).

L.A. ANGELS -101 over San Francisco

Speaking of no-hitters and brilliant performances, Matt Cain will be out to disprove the notion that it is hard to bounce back after throwing a perfect game. He threw a season-high 125 pitches in his pursuit of perfection, many of which were pitched in a high stress situation. Fading a pitcher after a no-hitter has been money in the bank and we’re not about to back off this highly profitable angle here. Jerome Williams is 5-1 at home with a 2.93 ERA. He had strong games at home against Baltimore, Texas, the White Sox and Blue Jays and there’s no reason he can’t duplicate that here. Williams has a good strikeout rate, solid control an elite groundball profile of 54% and has turned into a very consistent starter. Play: L.A. Angels -105 (Risking 2.02 units to win 2).

4 UNIT PLAY

Atlanta/ NY Yanks Under 9: Gonna look to the Under in this. The Braves offense has been horrid of late as they have averaged just 1.7 rpg in their last 6 games and they have been been shutout in 3 of those games, including their last 2. Now they get to take on a Yankees staff that has a 1.97 ERA in June, with teams hitting just .224 off of them during the month. CC Sabathia gets the Ball for the Yanks tonight and he has been tough at home this year, with a 2.45 ERA and he hasn't allowed more than 3 ER's in any of his 5 home starts this year. if CC has any trouble at all then a Yanks pen that has a 1.93 ERA in its last 10 games will take over. This Atlanta, that scored just 6 runs in their three games with the Yanks last week, will not break out tonight. Mike Minor has had a tough year, but he comes in allowing just 2 total ER's in his last 2 starts, including allowing just 1 ER in 7.1 innings to the Yanks in last week's meeting. The Yanks offense has been solid this year as always, but coming off a trip they may be a bit sluggish here, and will probably need to put up at least 7 runs for this one to go over as the Braves will be good for no more than 3. I look for abot 7 runs in this one.

3 UNIT PLAYS

NY Mets/ Baltimore Under 7: The Mets offense comes in struggling a bit as they have put up just 5 runs in their last 3 games and now they must take on a Baltimore team that has thrown 2 shutouts in a row. Scoring problems is nothing new for the Mets at home as they average just 3.85 rpg at Citi Field, compared to 5 rpg on the road. The O's come in hitting just .231 vs righties on the road and theyu score just 3.7 rp/9 off off them away from home. Jake Arrieta gets the ball for the O's tonight and he has struggled with a 5.89 ERA overall, but slightly better on the road with a 4.63 ERA, but he is facing a struggling Mets offense so he should have a good showing tonight, plus if he does get in trouble then he will turn the ball over to an O's pen 1.61 ERA on the road. The Mets will counter with the hottest pitcher in baseball, R.A. Dickey. R.A Comes in not haiving allowed an ER in his last 4 starts, which spans 32.67 innings of work. In his last 5 starts he has a 0.22 ERA and has 50 K's to just 3 walks over that span. At home he has a 1.45 ERA and those home starts have averaged just 6 rpg. Neither team will score a lot of runs in this one.


LA Angels/ San Francisco Over 7: Matt Cain has been awesome with an 0.38 ERA in his last 3 starts, but a closer look shows that two of those starts were at home, and the other one was in San Diego. On the road this year Matt has a 3.23 ERA, with his road starts averaging 9.5 rpg and that's thanks mainly to the fact that the Giants score better on the road (4.72 rpg) than at home (3.31 rpg) The Giants hit .274 on the road and they have averaged 5 rpg in Cain's 5 road starts. Jerome Williams was having a nice year, but he but he has allowed 10 ER's in his last 2 starts and could have problems with the Giants offense that is hitting .285 and scoring 4.4 rpg in their last 5 games. Jerome does have a 2.93 ERA at home, but his mates have averaged 5.2 rpg for him at home, thus his home starts have averaged 8.2 rpg. The Angels have had problems scoring of late, but they still average 3.8 rpg at home and should be good for at least 3 here, while the Giants will also put at least 3 on the board as well and that will at worst give us a push.

Game: Cincinnati at Cleveland (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Cleveland +100 (moneyline)

Cleveland isn't getting much respect with this betting number. They have a winning record, are thick in the middle of a pennant race and have home field. The Indians are 13-6 in their last 19 home games against a right-handed starter and have veteran Derek Lowe on the hill (7-5, 3.78 ERA), a big game pitcher with a World Series ring. He has been a terrific addition and has got back to not walking batters (26 in 78+ innings). He's also been a stopper: the Indians are 6-2 in Lowe's last eight starts following a team loss in their previous game. The Reds are 13-29 in their last 42 interleague road games vs. a team with a winning record and 0-4 in the last four meetings in Cleveland. Play the Indians.

Kansas City Royals @ Houston Astros - ROYALS TO WIN (+105)
Listed Pitchers: Sanchez vs Happ
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.10 units)

The Kansas City Royals went into St Louis and took 2 of 3 against the Cardinals. Their wins were as +165 and +175 sized underdogs to give KC backers some nice returns. Those two victories followed a home sweep of Milwaukee and now makes them 5-1 over their last 6 games, 29-35 on the season and 18-15 on the road. Houston was swept by Texas and that followed losing 2 of 3 against San Francisco. They are now 27-39 on the year and 18-14 at home. Jonthan Sanchez will take the mound for Kansas City. Over his 7 starts he is 1-2 with a 5.93 ERA, 1.85 WHIP, and .269 opponents batting average. He has pitched better on the road going 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA and .176 opponents batting average. J.A. Happ will be throwing for Houston to make it a southpaw vs southpaw match up. Happ is 4-7 on the season with a 5.33 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and .296 opponents batting average. In his last outing Happ gave up 11 hits and 8 earned runs over just 3.1 innings of work. That poor outing followed a 4.2 innings outing where he allowed 5 hits and walked 5 giving up 4 earned runs against. All 4 of his wins have come at home, but he is still just 4-4 with a 4.21 ERA at home allowing more hits than innings pitched. As a team the Royals are hitting .242 with a .301 OBP vs lefties, while the Astros are hitting just .214 with a .281 OBP against lefties. Note that the Royals are 5-1 in their last 6 vs left handed starters. Houston has won just 5 of their last 21 games overall, and are 4-11 in their last 15 games following a loss. The Astros are just 16-37 in Happ's last 53 starts overall, and 1-5 in his last 6 starts as a favorite. They are also just 6-17 in his last 23 starts with 4 days of rest. The Royals are 5-1 in their last 6 while the Astros are 1-5 in their last 6, Happ is really struggling right now, and the Royals hit lefties better than the Astros. I think the wrong team is favored in this one, and I like the Royals to get it done tonight.
