Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

MLB Game: Kansas City Royals @ Detroit Tigers
Time: Wednesday 09/10 7:05 PM Eastern
Pick: Kansas City +102 (moneyline)

The Detroit Tigers have gotten a lot more mileage out of Ricky Porcello than they ever imagined. Porcello, now in his sixth season with the Tigers has recorded a career high 15 wins. That comes with a lot of innings and his 183 innings on the season are also a career high, and you have to wonder how much is left in the tank. The Tigers are just 4-8 in his last 12 starts after going 12-4 in his first 16 on the season. James Shields is 13-7 on the season and has pitched his best over his last 12 starts where he has allowed more than 3 runs in just one of them. The Royals have hung with the Tigers all season, and a win tonight will even the teams up for the stretch drive. The Royals are playing better baseball than almost everyone right now at 31-14 in their last 45 games, and are 11-1 in their last 12 on the road behind Shields. The Royals get the call here.

MLB betting cheat sheet: Samardzija struggling

Here’s a comprehensive look at betting notes for the mid-week major-league games:

Strong Stretch for Away Faves

Away favorites are enjoying a good stretch, having gone 21-11 SU over the past seven days. That includes a 3-2 SU mark in Tuesday’s games, with the Baltimore Orioles (-127), Los Angeles Angels (-144) and Oakland Athletics (-191) all prevailing away from home.

Strasburg Sensational at Home

Washington ace Stephen Strasburg looks to continue his hot home track record Wednesday as he leads the Nationals (-185, 7) against the Atlanta Braves. Strasburg is 8-2 with a 2.60 ERA in 16 starts in Washington this season, with an 11-4-1 O/U mark over that span.

Peavy Providing Value

San Francisco Giants right-hander Jake Peavy is on his hottest stretch of the season entering Thursday’s home tilt with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Peavy is 4-1 over his last five starts while allowing just four earned runs over that span; he ranked last in the majors in value with the Giants before the hot run.

Pitching Notes

* Oakland right-hander Jeff Samardzija is struggling as he leads the Athletics (-191, 8.5) into a Wednesday showdown with the host Chicago White Sox. Samardzija is 1-4 SU over his last five starts and sits a lowly 136th in value (-$18) since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs.

* Cleveland Indians ace Corey Kluber continues to be one of the league’s strongest second-half Under plays entering Thursday’s encounter with the visiting Minnesota Twins. Kluber is 2-8 O/U in 10 starts the all-star break, a stretch that includes a 4-1 loss to the Twins on Aug. 21.

Hitting Notes

* Washington Nationals outfielder Adam LaRoche is the hottest hitter in the majors over the past week. The 34-year-old is batting a sizzling .474 with four home runs, 12 RBIs and a 1.647 OPS over the past seven days; the Nationals are 4-2 SU and 3-3 O/U over that stretch.

* St. Louis outfielder Jon Jay has dominated his career matchup with Cincinnati ace Johnny Cueto entering Thursday’s game between the Cardinals and the host Reds. Jay is batting 12-for-23 lifetime versus Cueto, with a double, three home runs, seven RBIs and just two strikeouts.

Totals Streak

Seattle Mariners (0-4 O/U): The Mariners are back in a familiar position after putting together a stretch in which it recorded four consecutive totals of six or under, going 2-2 SU over that span. The Mariners are now the strongest Under bet in the AL for the season, going 57-80-7 O/U.

Prop of the Day

Bettors should consider taking a chance on the New York Yankees’ -1.5 run line (+170) against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Members of the New York lineup are hitting a robust .353 with three home runs in 34 at-bats against Tampa Bay right-hander Jake Odorizzi.

Injury Notes.

* New York Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka may pitch for the team again this season despite being on the shelf with a partially torn UCL. Tanaka is 12-4 with a 2.51 ERA, a 13-5 SU mark and a 9-9 O/U record in 18 starts in his rookie season.

* Seattle Mariners outfielder Dustin Ackley is expected to miss at least a couple of games with bone spurs in his left ankle. Ackley is mired in a 1-for-19 slump that has dropped his average to .251; the Mariners haven’t missed a beat over that span, going 4-1 SU and 3-2 O/U.

Weather Watch

* Fans at Progressive Field will be treated to wind blowing out to centre field at 16 mph for Wednesday’s game between the host Indians (-152, 8) and the Twins. Teams averaged 9.91 runs and 2.36 homers in 11 games under similar conditions in 2013 – well above the stadium averages.

Umpire Note of the Day

Under is 36-15-1 in umpire Hunter Wendelstedt’s last 52 Wednesday games behind home plate. Wendelstedt will call the balls and strikes as the Toronto Blue Jays (-173, 8) welcome the Chicago Cubs in their interleague finale.
