HOUSTON ASTROS OVER 4 RUNS
These Astros love them some LH pitching and face a very hittable one tonight in Qunitana. Houston really smacking the baseball around right now and actually have a 4 game winning streak going. I've said this before, these Astros have a handful of very under the radar sticks in that lineup and especially vs southpaws. Quintana has not been sharp of late, and has a 5.33 ERA over his last 4 starts, with 5 HR's allowed and just a 2/1 k/BB ratio.

Pittsburgh (Liriano) at Cincinnati (Leake) (-115) 7:10 ET
5* Cincinnati (Leake) (-115)

A single game in the win column is all that separates these two as they look to track down St. Louis in the strongest division in MLB. Following a 1-5 start, Pittsburgh has gone 40-23 including 6-3 of late. But they are only 16-15 away, a far cry from the Reds 24-12 home record. Though the numbers for Liriano look strong at 5-2, 2.36 ERA and 49/17 KBB, I have noticed a chink in the armor. A 10/8 KBB his last 2 outings have led him to potential problems which can be exposed by a Cincinnati team who enters on a mini-run of 5-2. No such weakness in the recent stats of Leake. In his last 6 starts, Leake is 4-1 with a 1.13 ERA. Leake is off a 2-1 win vs. the Cubs in which he allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 8 IP. Home field and current form of Leake a bit too much for Pittsburgh and Liriano to overcome.

American League betting cheat sheet and tips

Check out our quick-hitting betting notes on Monday’s American League action:

Kansas City Royals at Cleveland Indians (118, 8)

Weather: Temperatures in the mid-50s and winds will blow out to right field at 5 mph.

Probable starters: Royals RH James Shields (2-6, 2.79 ERA) vs. Indians RH Carlos Carrasco (0-2, 15.26)

Kansas City boasts a 1.80 ERA in June to take over the top spot in the American League (3.39), led by a bullpen that has allowed only two runs in its last 34 innings of work. Shields has pitched in hard luck since his last victory April 30, allowing two earned runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts to post an 0-4 record. The under is 7-1 in Shields' last eight starts overall.

Baltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers (-181, 8.5)

Weather: Temperatures in the high-80s with a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms. Winds will blow out to left field at 8 mph.

Probable starters: Orioles RH Jake Arrieta (1-1, 6.63 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Max Scherzer (9-0, 3.19)

Arrieta, who was called up Friday from Triple-A Indianapolis, will start in place of an ailing Jason Hammel (illness). He has not pitched since June 9 with Indianapolis and failed to go past five innings in four April starts before being sent down to the minors. Scherzer has not allowed more than five hits in eight consecutive starts. The under is 6-1 in the Tigers’ last seven overall.

Oakland A’s at Texas Rangers (-119, 9.5)

Weather: Temperatures in the mid-80s and a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms. Winds will blow in from left field at 8 mph.

Probable starters: Athletics RH Dan Straily (4-2, 4.45 ERA) vs. Rangers RH Nick Tepesch (3-6, 4.30)

Texas has dropped six straight games, scoring just eight runs in the process. Straily is 3-0 with a 2.20 ERA in his last five outings. He has limited opponents to a .179 average while walking just four batters in 32 2/3 innings during the hot stretch. The run began with seven scoreless innings at Texas on May 21. The Rangers have played under the total in seven consecutive games.

Chicago White Sox at Houston Astros (-102, 8)

Weather: Retractable roof should be open. Temperatures in the mid-80s and winds will blow out to right field at 12 mph.

Probable starters: White Sox LH Jose Quintana (3-2, 3.86 ERA) vs. Astros RH Bud Norris (5-6, 3.47)

The Astros have won eight of their last 10 meetings with the White Sox and are going for the four-game sweep of Chicago. The White Sox have lost four straight overall and 12 of 13 on the road. The under is 5-1 in Norris' last six home starts.

Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels (-163, 8)

Weather: Temperatures in the low-70s and winds will blow out to center field at 5 mph.

Probable starters: Mariners RH Aaron Harang (3-6, 5.60 ERA) vs. Angels LH Jason Vargas (5-4, 3.74)

Harang is 0-3 with an 8.02 ERA in five career starts against Los Angeles, but was fabulous in his last outing against the Houston Astros, striking out a season-high 10 in a two-hit shutout. The under is 9-1 in the Mariners’ last 10 overall.

Colorado Rockies at Toronto Blue Jays (-150, 9)

Weather: The roof could be closed because of a thunderstorm risk.

Probable starters: Rockies LH Jorge De La Rosa (7-4, 3.49 ERA) vs. Blue Jays RH Josh Johnson (0-2, 5.40)

Toronto is riding a five-game winning streak following a dominating four-game sweep in Texas, in which they outscored the Rangers 24-4. However, Johnson is winless in his last nine starts, dating to last year. He is 1-9 in his last 15 outings. The Rockies are 7-1 in De La Rosa’s last eight starts.
