MLB Top 3: Hot 'over' pitchers on the mound Tuesday

Tuesday's Major League Baseball action features a trio of hurlers that have trended toward scorelines finishing over the total.

Here is a look at three pitchers to consider if you're looking to play totals.

CC Sabathia, New York Yankees (9-10, 4.72 ERA)

The burly Yankees southpaw has an ERA of 8.33 with 25 earned runs over 27 innings in his previous five starts; all of which have gone over the total. He has surrendered 25 homers on the year (only A.J. Griffin and R.A. Dickey have given up more - what is it with double initial pitchers?) and nobody has allowed more total bases (289).

The Yanks host the Los Angeles Angels Tuesday.

Ryan Dempster, Boston Red Sox (6-9, 4.67 ERA)

The 'over' is 6-0 in the Canadians' previous six starts. The Sox are 5-1 in the six games, primarily because they give Dempster the second-best run support in the bigs. The Sox are good for 5.78 runs of support when Dempster starts. Only Max Scherzer gets more support at 6.17 per game.

The Sox are in Toronto to face the Jays Tuesday.

Jordan Lyles, Houston Astros (4-6, 5.40 ERA)

The young Astros righty has been great fodder for 'over' bettors recently. The 'over' is 7-0-2 in Lyles' previous nine outings and is 12-4 on the season in his 16 starts.

The Astros are on the road to face the Oakland A's Tuesday.

Dave Essler MLB Tuesday Thoughts

San Francisco-Washington: Tough for me not to want to take the Giants with Bumgarner and his 0.98 WHIP or so against a team that typically doesn't handle LHP all that well. By the same token, the Giants ore not an offensive juggernuat, so assuming (never do that) that this is a wash until the bullpens come into play, I do like the Giants to perhaps win it late. But, the case can certainly be made for this being a cheap price for Gio Gonzalez at home.

Phillies-Atlanta: I do get that there's a big difference in these two teams and these two pitchers, but Medlen, by far, is Altanta's worst starting pitcher, and has a WHIP of about 1.50 in his last seven starts. Bottom line is that at -245 is just too much money. Medlen was about that against Miami this year and won 11-3, but I certainly wouldn't go there against a team that CAN score and has some measure of revenge for a three game sweep Atlanta handed them at home not long ago.

Reds-Cubs: This may be one case where I could make a case for road chalk, although it is against my better judgement. Perhaps the main reason is that Samardzija at home has a WHIP of 1.55 and the Cubs are 4-8 in his starts. However, and it's a big however, Bailey, since the no hitter, has really only had one shut down game and that was against San Diego. With that in mind and I have not looked at the weather, I must think that this could be the square Wrigley over, given that neither bullpen has been overly impressive lately.

Pirates-Cardinals: I get that Pittsburgh hasn't been playing well and I hope for Marco's sake it's not a repeat of last year. I get that Morton is servicable at best. But, when he's on he does induce a ton of groundball outs, and the Cardinals ground into more DP's than anyone in the league. Wainright has not been sharp and has thrown a ton of pitches, and in front of a terrible bullpen, so this has the potential to be the public disaster of the day. Pirates RL more than likely, although without Grilli they are a very different closing team. They've sucked, as a matter of fact.

Rockies-Padres: Well, let's hope the Rockies fare well against Volquez. There is simply no other play here than to take the Padres, since Stults may be there first best option, and since the Rockies are just not the same team against LHP's. Their pen has been shaky at times, but at only -125 they appear to be begging for people to take the Rockies, and they're not doing it yet.

Mets-Dodgers: Well, my first thought about this game was to look at the over. The Dodgers are better against RHP but the Mets are MUCH better against LHP. Given that both bullpens have been very good lately, I lean Mets here simply because I've watched enough of Ryu to know that he's just not that dominant and has perhaps been the beneficiary of playing in the big park. So, we'll scratch any thought of the total and probably look at the Mets.

Angels-Yankees: Almost looks like the Yankees are deciding to play out the string whereas the Angels are not. But, the Yankees have lost CC's last six starts. Always tough to take a pitcher off the DL (I would love to know stats on that over a few years) but Vargas can be tough. However, depending on Monday's game and bullpen usage, the value here may lie in the over and/or the Angels. There is no chance of laying -150 on Sabathia these days, so by process of elimination, that's where I'd look.

Boston-Toronto: I suppose the initial thought here would be the over, given that Dempster has been killed and that Redmond is a bit of an unknown entity. However, at home he's been quite solid and Toronto does hit RHP far better than LHP. Given that, at +105 for Toronto, at this point I would have to take it. I get that Toronto is not as rested as Boston and lost on Monday, but nothing brings out the best in Toronto like the Red Sox.

Seattle-Tampa Bay: I do know how good Archer is and do know how bad Ramirez can be. But, Archer did have a forearm issue and had to leave the last game in the second inning, and the Rays bullpen has simply been terrible. Add that to the fact that Seattle is far more lethal against RHP, I could easily see taking the Mariners RL and/or the over.

Tigers-White Sox: I am simply not laying -190 on the road with anyone, but if I did take Detroit it's possible to take the RL for the sole fact that as the road team they are assured nine at bats. Hector pitched pretty well against the Tigers last week so I have every reason to believe that Detroit takes a pound of flesh out of him in this game.

Cleveland-Minnesota: McAllister is clearly the bigger name of the two starters, and the Indians clearly have the better lineup and every reason to keep playing baseball. With that in mind, why are the Twins favored here? Perhaps because Deduno at home has given up one jack in 33 innings and is holding hitters to a .210 batting average, and the Twins probably have a better bullpen. Indians are simply a much better bet against lefties, so as (gulp) as it may be, I do lean to the home team here.

Houston-Oakland: I throw a marble on Houston just because Colon is simply not ever worth -300. Shit, I might find an alternative RL of +2.5 (-110) or something here. Yeah, I know it's Jordan Lyles, but Oakland played Monday and flew back (crossing customs) about 3000 miles on Monday, while the Astros probably took in the sights in the Bay Area and ate at all the good restaurants.

Brewers-Rangers: If Estrada is sharp, he is sharp, but if he's not he's going to get killed. Ogando simply hasn't been the same since coming back from the DL, and although it's time to start thinking about not playing on teams that are done, give me the Brewers with a DH at +190 or the RL and I'd simply have to go there.

Miami-Kansas City: Lots of respect for Fernandez here after the line on Davis the night (Monday) before. It's unfortunate that Miami's bullpen has been so bad lately, but on the other hand if Fernandez is sharp enough (obviously the Royals haven't seen him) with a DH he could pitch a bit longer. But, if Chen hasn't given up more than three earned runs since June, why is he so affordable? This is yet another one that has potential disaster written all over it, and I lean to the under.

Baltimore-Arizona: Gonzalez has not pitched well in any of his last three games, so I simply couldn't go there. The problem the other way is that Delgado, whose stock had started to rise, was hit by both Boston and Tampa Bay recently. I suppose taking a stick out of the Orioles lineup playing in an NL park might factor in somewhere, and since people are probably going to be inclined to take the over, I like the under, especially at nine in an NL game. That's like 11 in an AL game, and honestly I don't think it closes there.

*3 Star MLB Totals TKO* The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays have two of the best offenses in baseball. Toronto's offense is much better now with Brett Lawrie and Jose Reyes healthy. The Red Sox are averaging 5.04 runs per game this year. Redmond doesn't go deep in a game, and I doubt his ability to shut down the Red Sox lineup. Ryan Dempster has been bad of late with an ERA over 7 in his last 3 starts. The over is 6-0 in Dempster's last 6 starts overall. These two offenses should put up some fireworks in this one. Take the over.

*3 Star MLB 100% Angle Total* Madison Bumgarner has been the Giants best pitcher all season. Despite the fact that San Francisco has had a disappointing season, Bumgarner has been consistently great in 2013. He has a 2.75 ERA this year. Gio Gonzalez has had a few very bad starts, but for the majority of the season, he has been excellent. He has a 2.67 ERA when pitching in Washington in his career. Both these teams struggle against lefties, and these are two very good left handed starters. The under is 4-0 in the Giants last 4 road games. The under is 5-0 in Bumgarner's last 5 starts on 5 days of rest. The under is 5-0 in Bumgarner's last 5 starts during game 1 of a series. The under is 5-0 in Bumgarner's last 5 road starts. The under is 5-0 in Washington's last 5 Tuesday games. The under is 5-0 in Gonzalez's last 5 on 6 days of rest. The under is 5-0-1 in the Giant's last 6 games as an underdog. In all a 34-0 angle backs this play. Take the under.

*3 Star MLB Total Domination* The Philadelphia Phillies haven't been any good lately, but they have hit Kris Medlen very well in the past. Medlen has a career ERA of 5.66 against the Phillies. This year alone, he has an ERA above 6 against Philadelphia. Ethan Martin has two big league starts and he was lit up for 6 runs by the Braves in one of them. A total set this low is usually reserved for two very good pitchers and bad offenses, but that isn't the case at all in this one. I made this total at 9, so I definitely like the value here. Take the over.

*3 Star MLB Bookie CRUSHER* The Cincinnati Reds have been great against the Chicago Cubs over the last few seasons. While the Reds haven't been that good on the road overall, they have been awesome at Wrigley Field. The Cubs aren't playing good baseball right now, and the Reds have a big pitching advantage with Homer Bailey on the mound for this one. Without Soriano, the Cubs lack a proven run producer in the middle of the order. The Reds are 8-0 in Homer Bailey's last 8 starts against the Cubs. They are 4-0 in Bailey's last 4 starts at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are 0-5 in their last 5 home games. The Reds are 12-1 in their last 13 games at Wrigley Field. In all a 29-1 angle backs this play.

*5 Star MLB TOP Play of Day* The Los Angeles Dodgers are 38-8 in their last 46 games overall. Although I certainly appreciate how good of a pitcher Matt Harvey is, I don't see the justification for the Dodgers being this small of a favorite over a poor New York Mets team. Harvey is great, but Ryu has been outstanding at home as well. Ryu has an ERA of 1.9 at home this season. There is no way you could even compare the Mets lineup to the Dodgers lineup. The Dodgers are 8-0 in Ryu's last 8 starts against a team with a losing record. The Dodgers are 7-0 in Ryu's last 7 starts as a favorite. The Mets are just 1-8 in their last 9 meetings between these two teams. The Dodgers are 4-0 in Ryu's last 4 starts on 4 days of rest. The Dodgers are 4-0 in their last 4 home games. In all a 31-1 angle backs this play. Take the Dodgers big.

Game: Boston at Toronto (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Toronto +111 (moneyline) at Bovada

Everything has been going the way of the Boston Red Sox this season, but lately things have changed. Boston is a mediocre 5-5 over their last 10 games, and just 1-3 in their last four. Ryan Dempster was expected to strengthen the rotation, but at 6-8 with a 4.67 ERA, he has been a huge disappointment. His last two outings vs. soft hitting Seattle and Houston does not bode well, as he allowed 12 runs in 12 innings against them. Toronto will go with Todd Redmond, who has pitched admirably at the Roger's Center where his ERA is 2.75, and he has more strikeouts than innings pitched. Boston has struggled opening a series, where they have now dropped six of their last seven. Make the play on Toronto.

2 UNIT = Miami Marlins @ Kansas City Royals - ROYALS TO WIN (-133)
Listed Pitchers: Fernandez vs Chen
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.50 units)

Not much changed with Miami since I left for Costa Rica as they've continued to lose - dropping 8 of their last 9 games overall including a 6-2 loss in Kansas City last night. The Marlins are just 44-73 on the season and a terrible 18-41 on the road. The Royals have continued to play well winning 5 of their last 6 games to improve to 62-54 on the season and 33-26 at home. Miami will send their best starting pitcher to the mound in Jose Fernandez who is 8-5 with a 2.58 ERA, .193 OBA and 1.04 WHIP. In his last outing he went 5 innings allowing 2 earned runs on 5 hits and 4 walks. He has a 1.39 ERA at home, but on the road he is just 3-5 with a 3.94 ERA. The Royals counter with lefty Bruce Chen who is 5-0 on the season with a 1.79 ERA in 24 appearances. As a starter he is 2-0 with a 1.14 ERA, .147 OBA and 0.63 WHIP over his 5 recent starts. His last time out he went 7.2 innings allowing 5 hits and 0 earned runs. Take note that the Marlins are 29th in the Majors hitting just .225 against lefties. So far in August the Royals are 2nd in the Majors with a .300 team batting average (while the Marlins are 26th at .223). Miami is just 18-50 in their last 68 road games dating back to last year, 6-20 in their last 26 road games vs a left handed starter, and 0-7 in Fernandez' last 7 road starts vs a team with a winning record. The Royals are 19-7 in their last 26 games overall , 5-1 in their last 6 home games, 11-4 in Chen's last 15 home starts, and 4-0 in his last 4 starts overall. Take the Royals here tonight.

2 UNIT = New York Mets @ Los Angeles Dodgers - DODGERS TO WIN (-122)
Listed Pitchers: Harvey vs Ryu
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.65 units)

The Dodgers won the first of this series last night by a score of 4-2, which was their 6th straight victory. They are 68-50 on the season and 35-25 at home. They are also an incredible 40-12 in their last 52 games overall. The Mets had won 5 of 6 before losing last night, but they are still just 54-62 on the season and 29-30 on the road. New York will send their ace Matt Harvey to the mound who is 9-3 on the season with a 2.09 ERA, .190 OBA and 0.86 WHIP. His numbers aren't AS great on the road (although still very solid) with a 5-1 record and 2.44 ERA. He faced the Dodgers at home when they weren't played as well and he went 6 innings allowing 4 hits and 3 earned runs. Los Angeles will counter with Hyun-Jin Ryu who is 11-3 with a 2.99 ERA, .252 OBA and 1.25 WHIP. At home Ryu is a very stellar 5-1 with a 1.83 ERA, and in 4 starts since the All Star break he is 4-0 with a 2.55 ERA. The Dodgers are hitting a Majors best .302 as a team in August after also leading the Majors with a .289 team BA in July. In comparison the Mets are just 19th in the Majors hitting .244 as a team in August. New York is also 20th in the Majors vs lefties batting .243 as a team. Take note that the Dodgers are 9-2 in their last 11 home games as a favorite between -110 to -150, 16-5 in their last 21 home games overall, 7-0 in Ryu's last 7 starts as a favorite, and 8-1 in his last 9 home starts. The Dodgers are 7-1 in their last 8 meetings with the Mets. Right now you have to take a look at the Dodgers every night and I think tonight we have some value with Ryu pitching at home at a good price.

Houston @ OAKLAND
Houston +249 over OAKLAND

There’s an old term used in boxing called a throwaway bet and it refers to a perceived mismatch in the ring in which the dog is taking back a huge price and public gives the underdog no shot to pull the upset. This has that ring to it but those that know this game well know that this is not throwing away money. No, this is a huge, huge overlay that must be played. If Bartolo Colon and the A’s win like expected, so be it but the Astros have at least a 40% chance of winning this game and maybe even a much higher chance than that. The Astros have lost Jordan Lyles last eight starts but over that span Lyles faced the Cubbies in Chicago with the winds blowing out, the L.A. Angels, Tampa Bay, St. Louis, Seattle (in the midst of the M’s 9-game winning streak), Toronto, Baltimore and Boston. That’s a difficult stretch of games and now Lyles takes a huge step down in class when facing the feeble offense of the A’s. And it’s not like this kid can’t pitch. Prior to facing that group of offensive powers, Lyles posted a 3.53 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in June, along with an elite 55% groundball rate. His fastball velocity by year continues to be on an uptick: 89.8, 91.8, 92.2 mph. Lyles has legit command and his 3.91 xERA is supported by his skills. At age 22, he remains on a nice growth curve.
Colon is enjoying an excellent season results-wise but his skills do not back up the results. In three starts against the Astros this season, Colon has been solid twice on paper and poor once, yet all of those starts came before July 1. Since then, his skills have really declined. In his last seven starts, Colon has a 4.94 xERA with few strikeouts and more walks than we’re used to seeing out of him. Colon is a pitcher to steer clear of going forward, as his 14-4 record and sub 3.00 ERA has greatly inflated his price tag. Pitchers like Max Scherzer, Matt Harvey, and Clayton Kershaw deserve to be in the price range against the Astros but Bartolo Colon does not. In fact, Colon is a nothing pitcher that has survived on pure luck in much the same way Barry Zito did for about a 1½-seasons for the Giants (Zito is now mopping up in the pen). Huge overlay.


Our Pick
Houston +249 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 4.98)





http://www.sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngMilwaukee @ TEXAS
Milwaukee/TEXAS over 9 +105

The Brewers come in here swinging some pretty hot bats right now. They just completed three games in Seattle where they scored 10 times in two of those games and faced King Felix in the other. Milwaukee has scored six runs or more in four of its past eight games in Washington, San Fran and Seattle and those are difficult hitting parks. The Brew Crew now get to face a struggling pitcher in an extreme hitters park. Alexi Ogando has made four starts since coming off the DL on July 23. In those starts covering just 19 frames, Ogando has walked nine batters while striking out just eight. He also has an alarming 33%/49% groundball/fly-ball split, not to mention a 1.55 WHIP over that stretch. The Brewers are almost a sure bet to score at least three times and probably more and the Rangers are likely to take care of the rest.
Marco Estrada just came off the DL to face the Giants in San Fran and while he pitched well, he was on a short leash and was pulled after just 76 pitches. Estrada is an extreme fly-ball pitcher with a groundball/fly-ball rate of 20%/60%, which is the highest fly-ball rate in the majors among starters that have thrown at least 50 innings this season. That does not bode well at this park. As a result of that extreme fly-ball profile, Estrada has allowed 14 jacks in 74 innings. Estrada made 12 pre-injury starts, with a 37%/25% quality start/disaster start split, which further highlights his implosion tendencies. Estrada comes in with a .264 BAA and a 4.96 ERA with just six quality starts in 13 attempts. He’s been whacked by just about every strong hitting team he’s faced this season and his chances for success here are slim at best. This one has slugfest written all over it.

Our Pick
Milwaukee/TEXAS over 9 +105 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.10)





http://www.sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngBaltimore @ ARIZONA
Baltimore/ARIZONA over 9 +109

These two combined for 19 hits and 13 runs last night and they combined to score in 10 of the 18 half innings. They figure to do even better here. One of the stalwarts on the surprising 2012 Orioles was Miguel Gonzalez who went 9-4 in their second-half playoff drive. After missing 2008 and 2009 with arm issues, Gonzalez worked his way up the minor league ladder in the Boston system before coming over to Baltimore. His second half this season is not going as well. Gonzalez has posted a disturbing 1.71 WHIP over his last four starts and has been tagged for seven runs over 9.2 innings in his last two starts against the Astros and Padres. Houston knocked him out in the fourth inning after tagging him for nine hits in 3.2 frames. Gonzalez is suffering from a serious skills decline. His groundball rate has decreased to a measly 30% over his last six starts and his fly-ball rate has increased to 41%. That leaves a 29% line-drive rate and no pitcher in the league can survive with a line-drive rate that high. Chase Field is a haven for line-drives and that spells big trouble for Miguel Gonzalez.
Randall Delgado is in just as much trouble as Gonzalez. Delgado has a line-drive rate of 30% over his last four starts. He has been taken yard three times in his last two starts and in the last three games that he started the final scores were 9-8, 7-6 and 10-0 with the D-Backs winning all three. Delgado has greatly benefitted from some serious run support. Delgado has walked just 12 batters in 65 innings this season but that’s uncharacteristic because he could not throw strikes consistently at the minor league level and has walked 68 batters in his 192 major league innings. It’s only a matter of time before that ugly trait shows up again. Delgado is not durable, he gets rattled easily, he has a .290 BAA and allows an equal amount of fly-balls as he does groundouts (35%/35% GB/FB). Two pitchers that are both implosions waiting to happen go at it here and it’s going to be very difficult to keep this one under the posted total.

Baltimore/ARIZONA over 9 +109 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.18)

Cincinnati (Bailey) (-135) at Chicago Cubs (Samardzija) 8:05 ET

4% Cincinnati (Bailey) (-135)

The Reds have owned the Cubs with a 20-4 series record including 13-1 at this site. That would be venerable Wrigley Field where the Cubs are 1-10 of late including 0-3 recently, games in which they have failed to plate a run. Since having their roster decimated at the trade deadline, the Cubs are on a 4-11 slide. This weak hitting team has scored 2 or less runs 37 times this year. Tonight, they again face their nemesis, the Reds, who after a 2-7 slide have gone 5-1 of late to remain solidly entrenched in the Wild Card race. No surprise if Bailey continues the Cubs problems as he is 4-0 with a 1.93 ERA when pitching from this rubber. Samardzija has pitched better on the road than at home. In Wrigley, the Cubs have won just 4/12 Samardzija starts in which he has a 4.86 ERA. In his most recent outing, Samardzija allowed 9 runs in 3 1/3 IP of a 12-1 loss to Philly.



San Diego (Stults) at Colorado (Manship) (-130) 8:40 ET

4% Colorado (Manship) (-130)

With the 14-2 Monday night victory, The Rockies extended their record at this series site to 8-2 averaging 7.4 RPG with a .328 BA. After sweeping the Pirates on this field this weekend, the Rockies have now won 4 straight scoring 33 runs with a .338 BA. Meanwhile, without their best bats of Cabrera and Quentin, the Padres have fallen to 1-4 of late. In fact, San Diego, in their last 6 games, has scored just 13 runs with a .196 BA. At first glance, it would appear that Stults would be able to stop the bleeding. When facing Colorado, he is 2-0 allowing 3 runs in 16 IP. But a closer inspection reveals a huge home/road dichotomy for Stults. At home, San Diego has won 8 of his 11 starts where he has a 2.37 ERA. On the road, the Padres have cashed just 4/13 Stults starts where he has a 4.64 ERA, including 0-4 with an 8.05 ERA in his last 4 road starts. Furthermore, Stults has lost his way. In his 4 most recent starts, Stults is 0-3 allowing 17 runs in 24 2/3 IP. Far prefer the resurgent Rockies behind Manship who was decent in his first start allowing just 2 runs in 5 IP vs. the Mets.



Cleveland (McAllister) at Minnesota (Deduno) (-115) 8:10 ET

5% Minnesota (Deduno) (-115)

It has all gone pear shaped once again for the streaky Tribe. Their runs have looked like, 18-5, 5-16, 15-5, 7-11, 10-1 and now 1-7, an 8 game stretch where their starters have a 6.00 ERA. It does not figure to get any better behind McAllister who, in his most recent start, a 10-3 loss to Detroit, allowed 4 hits, 4 walks and 6 runs in 2 1/3 IP. In addition, in a trio of starts vs. Minnesota, McAllister is 0-3 with an 8.00 ERA allowing 24 BR in just 9 IP. Far prefer reborn Minnesota who is on positive overall runs of 16-10 and 4-1. Following the 3-0 shutout of Cleveland last night, the Twins have won 4 straight on this field with a 2.03 ERA. That victory also ran the Twins series site record to 9-2 with a 1.89 ERA. More good work from this mound can be expected from Deduno. The Twins have won 4/5 Deduno home starts in which he has a 2.45 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. In a pair of outings vs. Cleveland from this mound, Deduno is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA. Solid play on the home-standing Twins tonight.
