Hondo: Take my Fife, please

Hondo treaded water last night when the Yankees stopped the Pods to offset his setback with Astros and leave the deficit holding at 725 newcombes.

Today, Mr. Aitch expects Fife to drum up a victory at Wrigley — 20 units on the Dodgers to drub the Cubs.

DAVE ESSLER

Sunday MLB Thoughts

Probably not playing the NFL game tonight, having been asleep and missing the best number on the U. If you made me I would tease Dallas to the under, but nobody is making me.

Braves-Phillies: Braves are the best hitting team over the last week and Lee has had extra rest. Atlanta 16-12 against LHP so in spite of Wood's youth I can't take the Phillies. Braves clearly better pen if it comes to that.

Reds-Cardinals: Perhaps the two pitchers that have my number more than most. Obvious edge to the Reds bullpen. Leake with some revenge for an early June loss to St. Louis. Lynn impressive but against weaker offenses. Best case I could make here is for the over, but need to see lineups.

Colorado-Pittsburgh: Nicasio shelled at Atlanta so clearly AJ is even more inflated here. Pirates have seen him once, so there's no reason to think they won't score. Burnett three straight 100+ pitch games and hasn't been pitching past the 7th. Not laying the juice, and could actually make a case for 8 runs being scored here.

Washington-Brewers: Clearly the early/overnight money is on Washington, but Lohse is quite capable, and has really only had one bad game. He beat Washington badly at Washington earlier, so perhaps he can do it again. Clearly they (the Brewers) were probably favored for a reason, but because Jordan is such a ground ball pitcher, I lean under.

Dodgers-Cubs: With Fife not having pitched since July 6th (at this level) it might be tough to take the Dodgers. With Villaneuva never pitching deep and two high pitch count games in a row, I could see this being a higher scoring game. My guess is that the total will get bet in that direction fairly early. Have not checked the weather.

White Sox-Detroit: I don't know enough about Rienzo (yet) to call it. He shut down Cleveland in his first appearance, but this isn't the Indians. Clearly not laying -225. Porcello just threw two straight games against Chicago, and as you'd expect one good one and one less good. He IS a ground ball pitcher, so under perhaps, and maybe a case for the Chicago RL, depending on lineups.

Seattle-Baltimore: I suppose, against a left-handed pitcher, I could make a case for the Mariners here, at least the RL. The Orioles bullpen hasn't been solid, and LHP might negate a bit of Davis/Markakis/Wieiters. But, It's always tough to take the Mariners against a LHP, so I lean under.

Toronto-LAA: It's interesting that as well as Wilson had been pitching he's only -140 or so. Buerhle one of those fesat or famine pitchers that just had his feast against Oakland. Wilson's toughest outings against good teams on the road, and Toronto has actually fared a little better against LHP this season. I suppose I could take the under and maybe the Toronto RL in their attempt to avoid the sweep, but it's hard to go against the hot team. Hate this game.

Texas-Oakland: Again the early money is on the Rangers, but that could be a setup. Oakland is a great home team and well above .500 against LHP so there is no chance without looking much further that I could take Texas. But, given that Griffin is a flyball pitcher and not unfamiliar with Texas, I could see runs being scored.

Miami-Cleveland: The Fish have been one of the worst teams against LHP all season, but I prefer to back Cleveland against LHP. Eovaldi's been solid in only a few homes games, and with the erratic nature of both teams, probably best to leave this one alone. At least me. I lean over a little.

Royals-Mets: That's a ton of love for the Royals against the potential of Wheeler, but with Wright out it's tough to take the Mets. Santana can be had here, IMO, especially against what's probably a left handed heavy lineup coming out. With the total dropping I could see taking the Mets RL if one were so inclined.

Arizona-Boston: With McCarthy coming off the DL there's just no telling what we'll see from him, and Doubront is perhaps the most unpredictable pitcher North of the Mason Dixon line. Just too steep for me to lay -190 against the potential of the D-Backs to go off, so I could make a case for the Arizona RL, which is fairly cheap because the total is high.

Rays-Giants: Much like yesterday, there is no chance that Fausto should be -200 against anyone. If this were Houston or Miami would he be -300 or what? And just like yesterday, the Rays are a better bet against LHP. Giants RL again or nothing.

Yankees-Chargers: Kennedy makes his big debut for the Padres. Soriano the only Yankee to see him, but he's 6-13 so there's my fantasy player for the day. I suspect New York is only -110 because it's Phil Hughes, but with Quentin questionable I'd have to lean Yankees, in part because we like the Padres better against LHP.
