Game: Chicago White Sox at Houston (7:15 PM Eastern)
Pick: Houston +120 (moneyline)

There hasn't been a whole lot of winning going on in Houston over the last 3 years, but Chicago is 12-22 on the road, which is not much different than Houston's 11-23 mark at home. The bigger difference is that the Astros are suddenly 9-7 over their last 16 games. They are playing their best baseball in three years, while the Pale Hose have found the win column just four times in their last 16. The White Sox are now a Houston-like 1-10 in their last 11 road games, and do not fit the profile of a road favorite, especially against a Houston team that has to feel good having maintained a winning mark over the past two weeks plus. Houston is 5-1 in their last six at home vs. a team that is less than .400 on the road. Play on Houston.

3-unit Play Take Toronto Blue Jays/Texas Rangers OVER 9.5 (4:05pm ET) We have the perfect conditions for plenty of runs in Arlington today as the Texas Rangers host the Toronto Blue Jays. To begin, it's going to be hot. Preliminary weather reports have this game in the mid-90's, which always helps the ball travel a little bit farther. We also get two starting pitchers who can't be trusted at the moment. R.A. Dickey pitches for Toronto and he clearly hasn't been himself this season. He comes in 5-8 with a 5.11 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 14 starts. Just this week we found out that Dickey has been suffering through a back injury that would put most pitchers on the disabled list. He's given up 19 earned runs in his last four starts, so don't expect anything to change today. On the other side is relief pitcher Josh Lindblom. The 26-year old is making a start today due to the vast amount of injuries to the Rangers' staff right now. He's been mediocre in his first two starts and the Rangers will be happy if he can just go five or six innings. Finally, we have two very solid offenses in this contest. Both teams are in the middle of the pack in the AL in runs scored, but they both have the potential to be much better. Play the Over in this one.

4-unit Play Take #980 Cleveland Indians (+120) over Washington Nationals (7:15pm ET) The Cleveland Indians host the Washington Nationals in an Interleague battle. Both teams come into today's contest at 33-33 after the Indians took the first game of the series on Friday night. For Washington, it's been a very frustrating season as the expectations were extremely high on this team. They were supposed to be the best in the NL and take another step forward in 2013. It hasn't worked out that way, and the main reason is their lack of offense. The Nationals are 14th in the NL in runs scored with 3.52 per game, ahead of only the lowly Marlins. They also are particularly bad against left-handers so far in 2013 and that's bad news since they go up against one in Scott Kazmir today. Washington has just a .584 OPS against southpaws this season, which is the worst in the major leagues. Kazmir is pitching better than expected in his comeback effort in 2013. While his ERA is above 5.00, he is striking out 9.1 batters per nine innings and has gotten his velocity up to where it needs to be for him to be effective. He's caught some tough breaks with a .362 batting average on balls in play, so we should see better results from him going forward. Washington sends Jordan Zimmermann to the hill today, which will be a tough matchup for the Indians. He's 9-3 with a 2.00 ERA and 0.89 WHIP this season, but his peripherals don't support it. He has been lucky on batted balls in play at .229 and his strikeout rate is only 5.8 per nine. While Zimmermann is definitely improved this season, some regression is in order for him. I like the home team today.

CLEVELAND (+120) over Washington
7:10 p.m. ET
Our free pick record is now on an 13-4 run in baseball, including eight underdog winners, and today we'll look to cash in on another home dog. Cleveland starter Scott Kazmir has taken a liking to his new home park, winning his last three starts on this field and he'll continue to thrive tonight against a Washington lineup that has been erratic without the services of Bryce Harper. Nats starter Jordan Zimmermann is a bit overrated and shouldn't be laying this kind of price on the road. The Tribe cashes in!

2 UNIT = Toronto Blue Jays @ Texas Rangers - BLUE JAYS TO WIN (+113)
Listed Pitchers: Dickey vs Lindblom
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.26 units)

The Blue Jays are winniners of 6 fo their last 8 games whih includes going 4-1 against the Rangers over that period. The Rangers have fallen off a bit losing 7 of their last 9 games and scoring 3 or fewer runs in all of those losses. The Rangers are hitting just .216 as a team in June which is 27th in the MLB, and they are doing an awful job with runners in scoring position as well. Today's starter is R.A. Dickey who is 5-8 on the season with a 5.11 ERA, .253 OBA and 1.36 WHIP. He is slightly better on the road this season with a 4.63 ERA. Dickey has been two different pitchers this season allowing 2 or fewer runs against in 4 of his past 7 starts, but in those other 3 games he allowed 6+ runs. Texas is struggling at the plate right now and I expect a good start from the Jays ace. Texas will send out Josh Lindblom for his 3 start of the season. he is 0-1 with a 5.91 ERA, .273 OBA and 1.41 WHIP. He has gaven up 12 hits and 7 earned runs over 10.2 innings of work (all at home). I like the Jays as underdogs today.

2 UNIT = San Francisco Giants @ Atlanta Braves - GIANTS TO WIN (+181)
Listed Pitchers: Gaudin vs Minor
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 3.62 units)

After a 6-0 win last nig ht the Giants have improved to 4-2 over their last 6 games and they've scored 42 runs over those 6 games (7 runs per game). The loss was Atlanta's 4th straight and 6th in their last 8 games. So far in June the Giants are 5th in the MLB with a .285 team batting average, while the Braves are 24th with a .234 team batting average. Tonight's starter for San Francisco is Chad Gaudin and I expect a solid start from him today against a slumping Braves lineup who were shutout last night. Gaudin has appeared in 20 games (2 starts) this year with a 2-1 record, 2.32 ERA, .209 OBA and 1.13 WHIP. Over his two starts he has worked 6 innings in each giving up 4 hits and 2 earned runs in St Louis and 5 hits and 2 earned runs in Arizona (two good hitting ball clubs). The Braves counter with their most consistent starter in Mike Minor who is 8-2 on the season with a 2.44 ERA, .205 OBA, and 0.94 WHIP. Today Minor will be facing the MLB's 2nd best left handed hitting team in the Giants who have a team .287 OBA and .330 OBP against lefties. The Giants have won 4 of their 5 meetings this season with Atlanta and given the way they are swinging the bats right now with a solid starting pitcher on the mound I think we have a very generous price on them this afternoon. Take the Giants as big underdogs.
