DETROIT (-135) over Minnesota
8:10 p.m. ET
Our free pick record is now on an 12-4 run in baseball, including eight underdog winners, but tonight we're going to lay a little lumber with the Tigers. We love how Detroit starter Rick Porcello is pitching right now going 8-3 in his last 11 starts, while also performing very well on this field. Meanwhile, Minnesota starter Scott Diamond has been horrendous at home going 1-6 with an ERA of almost 7.00. The Tigers have owned this series, especially at Target Field where they have 14 of the last 20 meetings, so let's ride that trend here and take the visiting favorite.

4-unit Play Take #914 San Diego Padres (-120) over Arizona Diamondbacks (10:10pm ET) There's clearly something wrong with Arizona Diamondbacks starter Trevor Cahill. In his last four stars, the normally reliable right-hander is 0-3 with a 7.94 ERA and 1.68 WHIP. It's easily the worst stretch he's had in two years with Arizona as his strikeout-to-walk ratio during that stretch is only 8-6. He may be fighting through an undisclosed injury or his mechanics could be a little off. Either way, the San Diego Padres should get some good whacks tonight. The Padres come in as winners of seven of their last nine contests and the offense has been a big reason. They've averaged 5.2 runs per game in those nine contests and haven't been held under three runs in any of them. Southpaw Eric Stults takes the hill for San Diego tonight. He doesn't get a lot of attention, but is a solid middle of the rotation arm. He's 5-5 with a 3.53 ERA and 1.15 WHIP and should have a big edge tonight against an Arizona lineup that struggles against lefties. The Padres have also been very good in Petco this season at 19-14. All signs point to the Pads in this matchup.

2-unit Play Take #907 St. Louis Cardinals (-140) over Miami Marlins (7:10pm ET) The St. Louis Cardinals have put together quite a season so far in 2013. They have the best record in the big leagues at 43-23 and also hold the best run differential at +102. Today they are an even better team as they get back right-hander Jake Westbrook from the disabled list. Westbrook was having a sensational season when he went down with an elbow injury. Through his first six starts, the right-hander was 2-1 with a miniscule 1.62 ERA. His peripheral numbers weren't as good, but his propensity to keep the ball down in the zone is the key to his success and his groundball rate is at a whopping 61%. Westbrook looked amazing in his two rehab starts in the minor leagues before coming back. He had a 1.69 ERA and struck out 10 batters with no walks. Today he'll face another lineup that is minor-league quality in the Miami Marlins. Miami has really struggled to score runs at an average of just 2.98 runs per game - dead last in the majors. Making matters even worse, Miami hitters have also struggled mightily against Westbrook over his career. Rookie Jose Fernandez pitches for the Marlins in this one, and he's been one of the few bright spots for the team this season. However, he hasn't faced a lineup like the Cardinals feature and I expect Fernandez to struggle as the season goes on due to his early success as a rookie. Once you do well in this league, everyone starts to pay attention and study your weaknesses. The Cardinals are one of the best organizations in the sport, and I fully expect them to find the chinks in the armor for Fernandez. Take the Cardinals in this spot.

Best of Luck - Doc's Sports
