RIVER CITY SHARPS

The White Sox are playing some of their baseball of the season, winners of seven of their last 10 games and fresh off a sweep of the Indians. The White Sox will send John Danks (3-4, 4.90 ERA) to the mound to face off against the Padres Ian Kennedy (3-6, 3.59 ERA) Danks and Kennedy have both been up and down this season, but Danks is coming off a nice performance against the Yankees. The Padres haven’t been very good in interleague play. Some interesting trend lines show us that they are actually 1-4 in their last five IL games as a favorite. Conversely, the White Sox are 4-1 in their last five IL games as an underdog. We like the way that the White Sox are playing right now and Danks mechanics changes seemed to produce some positive results last time out. We are going to support the live home dog here. The Sharps say…
3 UNITS – CHICAGO WHITE SOX (+100)

CHASE DIAMOND

15* MLB HOME COOKING
Seattle Mariners-110

This game features the 30-20 Tigers at the 26-27 Mariners. Public will be jumping over the chance to get Verlander at plus money but I think the better pitcher here today has been Hisashi Iwakuma who is 3-1 with a 2.39 ERA. This guy has been dominant and his team and him will be super up to face Verlander who has been a pedestrian 5-4 with a 4.04 ERA so take the great line and back the Mariners here for a big 15*

Kevin's Pick(s):
A routine grounder to short stop should have gave us a winner last night, but instead with two outs Reyes threw it in the dirt and the Royals tied the game and went on to win. Tough break there, but we are due for some good fortunes. I've got two small favorites today that I think hold some value...
2 UNIT = Cincinnati Reds @ Arizona Diamondbacks - DIAMONDBACKS TO WIN (-113)
Listed Pitchers: Leake vs Arroyo
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.77 units)
The Dbacks are coming off a 4-0 win last night vs the Reds in which Josh Collmenter held Cincy to the minimum number of batters over 9 shutout innings. Tonight they send Bronson Arroyo to the mound hoping for similar results. Arroyo is 4-3 with a 4.15 ERA on the season, but has been much better this month going 3-1 with a 1.73 ERA, .231 OBA and 0.96 WHIP over 5 May Starts. The Reds counter with Mike Leake who has been great all year with a 2-4 record, 2.79 ERA, .235 OBA and 1.06 WHIP. Although he's been solid all season the Reds are just 3-7 when he makes the start. He has also had a rough career vs the Dbacks with a 2-0 record but 6.10 ERA. The Reds are just 1-5 in their last 6 games, 3-8 in Leake's last 11 road starts, and 1-6 in his last 7 starts overall. The Dbacks have won 5 of 7, are 5-1 in their last 6 home games, and 4-1 in Arroyo's last 5 starts. I'll take Arizona tonight at a nice price.
2 UNIT = Detroit Tigers @ Seattle Mariners - MARINERS TO WIN (-113)
Listed Pitchers: Verlander vs Iwakuma
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.77 units)
These two teams will be meeting for the first time this season. The Tigers enter 30-20 on the season while the Mariners are 26-27 on the year. Detroit will go with their ace Justin Verlander tonight, but he hasn't been pitching like an ace lately as he struggled with his delivery. Verlander is 5-4 on the season witha 4.04 ERA, but over 5 May starts he is 2-3 with a 6.03 ERA, .300 OBA and 1.72 WHIP. Over his last three starts he has allowed 5, 5 and 6 earned runs against with 11 hits against in his last two. On the rubber for Seattle is Hisashi Iwakuma who had made 5 starts going 3-1 with a 2.39 ERA, .218 OBA and 0.82 WHIP. In three home starts he is 1-1 with a 1.57 ERA, .210 OBA and 0.74 WHIP. Note that the Tigers are just 3-8 in their last 11 games overall, 2-8 in Verlander's last 10 starts as an underdog, and 1-4 in his last 5 starts vs an AL West opponent. The Mariners are 4-1 in their last 5 following a loss, 9-3 in their last 12 vs a team with a winning record, and 5-2 in Iwakuma's last 7 starts dating back to last season. Seattle is 7-3 in their last 10 games vs Detroit with Verlander starting. With Iwakuma pitching very well to start off his season and Verlander struggling we're getting a generous price on Seattle tonight.
Kyle's Pick(s)
2 UNIT = Baltimore Orioles @ Houston Astros - ORIOLES TO WIN (-113)
Listed Pitchers: Gonzalez vs. Oberholtzer
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.77 units)
The Houston Astros have several pieces to the puzzle that I believe will make them a legitimate team in a few years. For now, though, they are just trying to show progress. We have seen progress with them for sure. However, there will be hard times as well. In any case the 'Stros are rolling right along winning six straight games dating back to the Seattle Mariners. The Orioles on the other hand are riding out a three-game skid. Starter for the Astros' Brett Oberholtzer got off to a pretty fine start to the season, but has since taken a nose dive. He still only has one win on the year, 1-6, and his ERA his fell to 5.32. He has been particularly bad recently, where his last three starts has yielded a 6.48 ERA. His WHIP was out of wack at 1.80 with a .385. More concerning is what Oberholtzer has done at home. His ERA is ultra-high with a 9.64. Moreover, he is putting on average more than 2 base runners per inning, a 2.07 WHIP in Houston. In addition, his OBP is .429. Unlike Oberholtzer, Miguel Gonzalez has been in the process of lowering his ERA significantly. Gonzalez hasn't allowed more than 2 runs in five starts, on May 4th. He also hasn't allowed more than 3 runs in 10 starts where he got killed against the Tigers in his first start of the season. Consequently, Gonzalez has had nine straight solid starts. His last three starts has produced a 2.84 ERA. Lastly, note that Astros' hitters are only .224 against right-handed pitching compared to .264 against left-handed. The Astros are on an impressive streak, but I think it ends tonight at six games against Baltimore.
