Kevin's Pick(s):
5 Star dud last night, as the Giants were shutout at home in a 5-0 loss. Our other big underdog play on Chicago ended up being a bad loser as well. Time to regroup and try to start up a bit of a winning streak.
2 UNIT = Tampa Bay Rays @ Seattle Mariners - RAYS TO WIN (-111)
Listed Pitchers: Odorizzi vs Maurer
(Note: Im' risking 2.00 units to win 1.80 units)
The Rays won 2-1 last night as the Mariners closer, Fernando Rodney, blew the save and gave up the go ahead run in the top of the 9th. The Mariners struckout 12 times in that game with no walks, as David Price pitched a complete game shut out. Jake Odorizzi looks to follow up that start with a good one of his own. He is just 1-3 on the season with a 5.79 ERA, .311 OBA and 1.74 WHIP, but this highly rated prospect is coming off a start where he went 5 innings allowing 0 earned runs with 11 strikeouts. He was solid in Triple-A last season with a 3.33 ERA, and had a 3.94 ERA in his 7 appearances with the Rays. The Mariners go with Brandon Maurer on the mound who is 1-1 with a 6.20 ERA, .341 OBA and 1.67 WHIP. His last time out was pretty much the exact opposite as Odorizzi as he went 7.1 innings but gave up 14 hits and 4 earned runs with 0 strikeouts. Maurer had a 6.30 ERA in 2013 with the Mariners, and didn't do much better in Triple-A with a 5.21 ERA last season. Take note that the Rays are 8th in the Majors with a .260 team batting average vs righties, while the Mariners are 24th at .233. Tampa Bay has won 5 of their last 7 road games. The Mariners are just 3-10 in Maurers last 13 starts, 2-6 in his last 8 home starts and 3-8 in his last 11 as an underdog. I'll take the Rays this afternoon as slight favorites.
Kyle's Pick(s)
5 UNIT = San Diego Padres @ Cincinnati Reds - UNDER 7 RUNS (-120)
Listed Pitchers: Kennedy vs. Cueto
(Note: I'm risking 5.00 units to win 4.17 units)
The Dodgers made sure there wasn't any room for a bad beat, as they pounded the Marlins for a 7-1 win last night to cash the -1.5. **Yesterday's play had a mistake in the units won. It was 2.9 units won not 3.08. Sorry about that.
It is up for debate with regards to who has been the best pitcher this season. Johnny Cueto, though, is making a big stake at that claim. I have been waiting for his name to pop up on the card and finally today is his turn in the rotation. He'll get an ineffective Padres lineup to continue his hot ways against. Note that the Padres are hitting only .213 against right-handed pitching. Unfortunately for the Padres that .213 is going to need to be much much much better against Cueto, who is one of the best right-handed pitchers in the business. He's been razor sharp with a 1.43 ERA, as well as an ultra-low .196 OBP and 0.73 WHIP. Those two stats are even lower at home believe it or not as Cueto holds a .182 OBP and 0.67 WHIP in Cincinnati. Cueto hasn't allowed more than 2 runs all season long. In his last two starts he gave up 2, his highest mark of the season in 2014. Ian Kennedy has shared some success with the Pads this season, pitching for a 3.12 ERA in 49 innings pitched. He has been a reliable middle of the rotation option for years now and this is about what to except from him. Impressively Kennedy has been a wizard on the road this season, away from the friendly confines of Petco, which is hard to explain. His ERA on the road is 1.42 with a 0.74 WHIP and .211 OBP. Cueto should be able to mow the Padres lineup down and Kennedy should hold his own as well. With an UNDER of 7 here I like it for 5 units.

Wednesday's MLB betting cheat sheet: Cueto hot at home

Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for Wednesday's major-league games:

Plenty of Pushes

Tuesday saw a whopping four pushes, with the home team prevailing in each one. Toronto edged Cleveland 5-4, Milwaukee prevailed 5-2 over Pittsburgh, Houston blanked Texas 8-0 and St. Louis outlasted the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in 12 innings.

Johnny Be Good

Cincinnati pitcher Johnny Cueto is 4-0 in his last four starts as a favorite - allowing five runs over 34 innings in that stretch - as he leads the Reds (-166, 7) in to the resumption of their series with San Diego. The Padres are 1-1 this season as an underdog of greater than +150.

Masahiro is Money

New York rookie Masahiro Tanaka leads all Yankee pitchers and ranks 12th in the majors in money won to date ($438), tops among first-year pitchers. Tanaka and the Yankees (-167, 6.5) resume their Subway Series showdown with the Mets at Citi Field.

Pitching Notes

* Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha is in a tailspin, having gone 2-5 against the moneyline in his last seven starts as a favorite despite posting a 3.12 ERA over that stretch. Wacha finds himself as a whopping -190 fave Wednesday when the Cardinals host the Cubs.

* Braves right-hander Julio Teheran is on a five-game Under streak, surrendering five runs over 39 innings in that span but going just 1-1 with three no-decisions. Teheran leads Atlanta (+106, 6.5) into San Francisco for a date with the Giants.

Batting Notes

* Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Tuesday's 7-1 win and has driven in a run in five straight games. The Dodgers, who are 3-2 SU and 4-1 O/U in that span, host Miami on Wednesday.

* Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz erupted for a pair of homers Tuesday and is batting .500 with three home runs and six RBIs over his past six games. The Red Sox are 4-2 SU and 2-3-1 O/U during the streak; they visit Minnesota on Wednesday.

Totals Streak

Atlanta Braves (1-9-1 O/U): While the Braves' bats fell silent during the first part of the Under run, it has been sensational pitching that has supported the back end of the streak. The Braves have allowed eight runs in their past five games, a stretch that includes a pair of shutouts.

Prop of the Day

The Mets are a +165 underdog to score first against the Yankees - the highest of any team in the majors Wednesday. While Tanaka is one of the stingiest hurlers in baseball, the Mets are hitting .325 in the first inning this season - good for second in the league.

Injury Notes

* Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez is considered day-to-day with tightness in his lower back. The Brewers are 7-2 O/U when Gomez hits a home run; they tangle with visiting Pittsburgh (+108, 7.5) on Wednesday.

* Colorado Rockies outfielder Michael Cuddyer is expected to return early next week from a hamstring injury. The Rockies, who are 15-9 SU, +632 units and 14-8-2 O/U with Cuddyer out of the lineup, visit Kansas City (-125, 7.5) Wednesday.

Weather Watch

* Fans at O.co Coliseum will be pleased to see wind blowing out to right field at 7 mph for Wednesday's game between Oakland (-193, 9) and the Chicago White Sox. The Athletics went 21-8 SU last season with the wind blowing out to right at less than 10 mph.

Umpire of the Day

The road team is 7-1 in umpire Cory Blaser's last eight games behind home plate. Blaser will call the balls and strikes for the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the host Philadelphia Phillies (+101, 7.5).
