MLB Kansas City vs Chicago

FREE Pick: Chicago -128

The Chicago White Sox have made some big strides since their ugly 99 loss campaign last year. This team is holding close in the AL Central, and look to be a team on the rise. They will face a Kansas City team that is young, and also improved, but they will catch the Royals in what has been an ugly spot for a long period of time. Kansas City comes into this game with a woeful 45-102 record when playing as a road dog off a win in their previous game. Jose Quintana has deserved better as he is 3-6 with a 3.59 ERA, and he has taken the mound five times at home, and has delivered five quality starts. The Royals are just 3-7 behind Guthrie in his last 10 starts as a road dog, and the Sox's rejuvenated offense is now 8-2 in their last 10 after scoring 2 or fewer in their previous contest. My play is on the White Sox.

There is something off with this Braves team right now. They couldn’t hit some unproven pitchers in a hitters ball park in Colorado and now return home having to face CJ Wilson. Both pitchers have just about equal numbers this year, but these Braves can’t hit right now. At even money this feels like a great bargain. Take the Angels

LAS VEGAS - The least anticipated game in the majors tonight is probably the Padres playing at Citi Field against the Mets. But if you put a little money on the game, it immediately goes to the top of the interest charts, and we think we have an angle that provides some decent value.

First, let’s set the stage on why this game offers little intrigue. San Diego has lost four-straight and is an NL-worst 2-8 in June. The Mets have lost eight of their last nine and are right behind the Padres for the worst June NL record at 3-8. After teasing their fans with near-.500 ball for most of the year, the Mets have completely fallen off the edge of contention with their latest display and are 29-37 overall.

The main reason for both teams’ failures this season has been a lack of scoring, which takes us to the best value in tonight’s game – the total sitting at 7 UNDER -120. The number should probably be no higher than 6.5 UNDER -120.

The Padres average an MLB-worst 3.0 runs per game, while the Mets aren’t much better at 3.9. San Diego’s futility is the worst in baseball since 1972, when both the Rangers and Angels averaged less than 3 runs per game.

In June, the Padres have been even worse than their season average, as they’ve hit only .146 and averaged only 1.7 runs a game for the month. San Diego is leading the league in one category – staying UNDER the total, which they’ve done in nine of their last 12 games, 21 of their 30 road games (one push), and 41 games overall.

It really doesn’t matter who is pitching against these guys, they still don’t hit. But tonight, both teams throw out two pretty good ones.

Bartolo Colon (5-5, 4.31) gets the call for the Mets, and he has been amazing over his last four starts, going 3-0 with a 1.61 ERA.

San Diego’s Andrew Cashner (2-5, 2.13 ERA) has been outstanding all season, but has gotten only 1.5 runs of support over his last six starts, second only to Pittsburgh’s Francisco Liriano, who's gotten 2.3 runs of support on the season.

If thinking the change of environment might help the Padres, consider that they have scored only nine runs while losing five of their last six games at Citi Field.

Cashner is the big key in keeping this game UNDER like eight of his 10 starts have stayed this season. He was sharp in his last outing against the Nationals – his first since coming off the disabled list – allowing no runs over six innings. He’s got to put this entire team on his shoulders and knows he can’t allow more than one run to give his team a chance to win. And surprisingly, despite the losses and his team getting shutout in four of his starts, he’s pitched remarkably well for a guy who could have sulked.

The best play of the night is on the worst game of the night. If the UNDER 7 runs comes through, then it becomes the best game of the night instantly.

Friday selections:

Padres/Mets UNDER 7 (-120)

Astros (McHugh) +113 vs. Rays

Angels (Wilson) -113 at Braves
