2 UNIT = Seattle Mariners @ Texas Rangers - UNDER 8.5 RUNS (+107)
Listed Pitchers: Iwakuma vs Perez
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.14 units)
These two teams have met 12 times already this year with the UNDER going 6-4-2 in their meetings, including last night's 4-2 Seattle victory. Iwakuma was a starter in two of those games and we saw totals of 7 and 4 in those two games. Hisashi Iwakuma is 7-3 on the year with a 2.42 ERA, .203 OBA and 0.88 WHIP. His numbers rise on the road, but are still very respectable with a 3.14 ERA, .242 OBA and 1.18 WHIP. Facing Texas twice he has combined for 14.2 innings of work and has allowed just 8 hits and 3 runs over those 14.2 innings vs the Rangers. Right now the Rangers are struggling to score runs as they've scored more than 4 runs just once over their last 10 games. Texas will have Martin Perez back on the mound who is 2-1 with a 2.37 ERA over 3 starts this year, with a .274 OBA and 1.26 WHIP. In his only start at home he went 6.2 innings giving up 6 hits and 0 runs. In the minors this year he is 5-2 with a 3.32 ERA. He will be facing a Seattle team that ranks 27th in the MLB in runs scored and 26th in team batting average. Take note that the UNDER is 4-0 in the Rangers last 4 games vs a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, 10-1 in their last 11 games as a favorite of -110 to -150, and 21-6-1 in their last 28 games as a home favorite. The UNDER is also 23-8-1 in their last 32 home games overall, 15-6-1 in their last 22 overall, and 4-0 in Perez' last 4 starts overall. This is a higher total than I expected given both teams struggles to score runs (Texas ranked 25th in the MLB in runs scored in June and 26th in team batting average). I will go with the UNDER 8.5 at a good price.
San Diego (Stults) at Boston (Webster) (-150) 1:35 ET
5* Boston (Webster) ACTION (-150)
The rubberband finally broke for Stults who allowed 6 runs on 7 hits in 3 2/3 IP in a 7-1 loss to Miami. That follows the previous 6 games in which Stults had a 1.83 ERA. Webster has pitched better than his numbers as he makes his 4th start for Boston. But this play is all about team momentum and batting. With that in mind, we make it an action play on the Red Sox. The first two games of this series have seen Boston win by a combined score of 6-2. That increases the Red Sox surge to 26-11 including 17-5 on this field. They continue to average over 5 RPG. The San Diego recent slide reminds one of their 5-15 start. The Padres have now scored a total of 27 runs in going 2-9. San Diego has dropped their last 5 decisions by a combined score of 23-5 in which they have hit .172. Make this an ACTION play on Boston.
