Sparks already won twice very comfortable this season at Seattle, Storm might be without Sue Bird due neck injury
MLB
Starting with a MLB game , I like the White Sox tonight, Chris Sale is 5-1 in his last 6 starts and has given up only 2 runs in average against the Minnesota Twins
The Pittsburgh Pirates lost game 1 of this series to the sound of 8-1 by the Colorado Rockies and I look for them to bounce back and win game 2 tonight. Jeff Locke will toe the slab for the Pirates and has been dominant in 9 starts in 2014. He is 2-1 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and has pitched very well in 3 road games this season, going 1-0 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.20 WHIP whilst walking just 2 hitters. Locke has given up 2 ER or less in 6 of his 8 outings and has averaged 6 2/3 IP per start this year.
Tyler Matzek gets the nod of the Rockies and has been roughed up in 4 of his 8 starts this season and the lefty is 1-4 with a 4.91 ERA with a 1.47 WHIP. In 4 home starts, Matzek owns a 1-3 record with a 5.92 ERA and 1.48 WHIP. Batters are hitting a lofty .291 against Matzek and has issued 8 walks in his last 3 outings.
I like the Pirates to get the W tonight and I believe they are showing good value at (- 116) with a huge advantage on the mound. The Rockies bullpen has been rocked at home, combining for a 5.47 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP.
