MILWAUKEE BREWERS OVER 4.5 RUNS
Ya, these Brewers have a horrid "win/loss record" vs left handed starters this season, as we know they are just (5-16). However, did u know that these Brewers rank 1st in the National League in .OPS (.755) vs left-handers, and they are tied for 2nd in HR's (20) vs lefties & they are 2nd in batting .AVG (.275) vs said southpaws......They rank in the top 10 in MLB in both .OPS and .AVG over the last week as well, so I like that they are swinging the stixx with confidence right now. Now we have Tommy Millone on the hill for these A's. The fact is that this guy just does not like pitching away from Oakland Coliseum. I won't bore with the stats/facts, but this guy has been horrid in all but 1 start this season. Much of the same from Tommy last season as well, fared much much better at home, opposed to the road. He is a fly ball pitcher too, and Miller Park is a hitters park, and a does yield more than it's share of HR's. Add on the fact that both their 8th inning man (Cook) and closer (Balfour) pitched the last two nights, and freak show lefty Doolittle has struggled of late, too. Let's cash in tonight, fellas.
Chicago White Sox (Danks) at Seattle (Saunders) (-110) 10:10 ET
5* Seattle (Saunders) (-110)
History conflicts with current form in this which clearly favors Seattle. CWS has a great history against the Mariners. They are 26-5 including 8-0 at this site posting a 1.73 ERA and .292 BA in those 8 wins. As well, today’s starter Danks is 7-0 with a 1.31 ERA vs. Seattle. But the current form of CWS and Danks belies that history. The Pale Hose enter today on a 0-6 slide in which they have been outscored 33-9. In addition, they have dropped 7 straight road games. Danks is not the pitcher who compiled that 7-0 record. Danks makes his 3rd start following shoulder surgery. In his most recent outing, Danks allowed 4 runs in 4 IP vs. the Cubs. The Mariners are a bit cold themselves at 4-12 of late being outscored 88-53. But in Saunders, they send a pitcher to the hill who has been incredible from this mound. Lifetime, Saunders is 9-1 with a 2.23 ERA in 14 starts in Seattle. That includes 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 5 trips to this mound this year. Let’s play the home form of Saunders against a visitor and their starter who have lost their way.
