Hondo bearing down

Hondo, who lost narrowly Friday night with the Cardinals, was obliterated with Bumgarner and the Giants on Saturday to expand the deficit to 1,635 reuschels.

Sunday: Mr. Aitch considered trying to get even with a major wager on De La Rosa, but instead will try to emerge from his purple haze with a 10-unit investment on Hendricks and the Cubs.

PORT PORT SPORTS

1ST 5 INNINGS: UNDER 3.5 – CLEVELAND INDIANS @ PITTSBURGH PIRATES (-120) AND UNDER 6.5 – CLEVELAND INDIANS @ PITTSBURGH PIRATES (-105)
They can lower this total even further and these two offenses still might struggle to hit it here today. We expect another strong pitching performance from a starter pitcher from Cleveland as their starters have now gone 6 straight games in which they have lasted into the 7th inning and compiled a tidy 1.74 ERA combined in that span. Pittsburgh’s starters have been equally as tough themselves, holding an ML-best 3.08 ERA on the season and an even more dominant 1.82 ERA over their L6 games. Salazar mowed through the Rays his last time out for Cleveland, shutting down the first 15 Rays, and giving up only 2 H and 1 ER in 7 IP. He has been absolutely dominant in day starts in 2015, allowing a .193 BAA in those games, while going 3-0 with a 2.49 ERA. Cole has been just as money in matinees himself, with a 1.66 ERA in his 6 starts. The Pirates are 5-1 in those games. Even better the Pirates have won 7 straight interleague games that Cole has started dating back to the 2013 season, while he has posted a 2.82 ERA in those games. Key to this game will be with both pitchers keeping runners in scoring position from crossing the plate, something they both do very well as it is. Salazar has limited opponents to a .218 BAA with RISP, while Cole has been even better with a .195 BAA in the same situation. Pittsburgh is 5-4 for the Under when the total is set at 6.5, while the Indians are 1-3. Take the UNDER in today’s meeting…..

LOS ANGELES ANGELS (-110)
The Angels are rolling right now and they have destroyed the Rangers so far in this series and in recent meetings between the two clubs. For starters, the Angels have taken the first two games of the series by producing an eye-popping run differential of 21-2 in those 2 games. Equally as eye-popping is the Angels recent dominance of their division rivals, as they have taken 20-of-the-L27 meetings between the two clubs. They have been even more dominating in Arlington, as they have posted a 13-2 ML record in the L15 meetings played in Texas. The Angels have been just as impressive lately as well, posting a 6-1 ML mark over their L7 games. Their starting rotation has been on a roll lately too, compiling a 1.57 ERA through their L9 outings. Wilson be facing his former team at his former home park, something he has despised doing in his career, as he has yet to win in 5 starts at Arlington (0-1) and has a bulky ERA in the high 9’s. Lewis hasn’t been any better against the Angels lately, dropping each of his L5 starts against them and holding a 9.59 ERA himself in those games. Calhoun, Pujols and Trout have destroyed Lewis lifetime, hitting a combined .418 with 5 HR and 2 3B in 55 AB. The Rangers, meanwhile, have scored 6 total runs in their L4 games heading into this one. Take the LOS ANGELES ANGELS in today’s meeting…..

LOS ANGELES DODGERS (-155)
These odds are a little higher than we like to lay, but this one should be over before it really begins in Chavez Ravine. The Mets are struggling right now, scoring 6 total runs over their L5 games, with 3 of those coming late against the Dodgers in yesterday’s game. They have been even worse lately, now holding a 5-19 mark in their L23 games away from home, with an equally inept, 5-11 mark over their L16 overall while combining to hit a meager .183 as a team in that span. Opposing pitchers have kept the Mets below 2 RPG in that span, something Bolsinger should have a good chance to do again here today. The youngster has enjoyed pitching in the friendly confines of his home stadium so far in his career, posting a 4-1 mark and 2.25 ERA in his 5 home starts this season. However, the Mets last scored 3 R in a game about a week ago, and many of their sluggers are in some horrendous slumps. Lagares is batting .098 over his L13 games. Cuddyer and Tejada are hitting a combined .069 in their L11 games. Duda is at .150 over his L16. Bolsinger is holding opposing hitters to a .185 BAA in Los Angeles this season, so it would appears not only runs, but hits should be at a premium here. The Dodgers have won gone 9-3 ML in the L12 meetings between the two clubs, but even more intriguing is the fact the Mets have won at a 14% clip in their L28 games when playing as the underdog, going a dreadful 4-24 ML when getting the plus-odds in those games. Roll with the LOS ANGELES DODGERS in today’s snoozer……..

UNDER 7 – SAN DIEGO PADRES @ ST. LOUIS CARDINALS (-110)
Runs have been at a major premium for these two teams as of late as no reason t suspect that trend won’t be continuing here today. For starters, this series has absolutely lived up to it’s billing of boredom, as these two teams have combined to plate 6 runs in the L2 games and 14 so far in the 4-game series. The Cardinals snapped a 4-game losing streak with the late win yesterday, but their offense has been mighty futile lately, scoring 8 total runs and hitting a combined .051 with RISP over their L5 games. They have been held to 1 R in 3 of those games. San Diego has been equally futile as of late, scoring 8 runs as well in their L5 games and also being held to 1 R or less in 3 of those games. They won’t have it easy facing Lynn on his home turf, as he comes in off an impressive mini-run, going 2-0 with a 1.47 ERA in his L5 outings. Making the wager seem more appealing, he is fresh of commanding back-to-back outings, in which he has allowed 1 ER in 12 innings of work. Unfortunately for him, the Cardinals have failed all season long to provide him with any adequate run support, totaling a mere 26 runs in his 14 starts this season. The Padres starter, Kennedy, knows the pain himself. San Diego has managed to score 5 total runs, while the righty has compiled a 1.50 ERA over his L4 outings. In the crazy stat category, Kennedy has allowed 10 R in his L2 starts, but only 2 of them were ER. Stay with the UNDER in today’s meeting……

OVER 9 – TORONTO BLUE JAYS @ DETROIT TIGERS (-105)

This game could be where the string of Overs ends, but just not comfortable going away from it with these two offenses looking to close out the series. The Tigers have now posted a perfect 15-0 mark for the Over in their L15 games, a string we have cashed in on now a few times. Verlander is on the hill for the Tigers and that gives us a little pause until you look at his stats overall on the season. Detroit’s star hurler is 0-1 on the season with a 5.09 ERA through 3 starts, allowing 10 ER (11 R) over 17.2 IP. They are going to need him to step it up big time today, which he may find tough, considering LH hitters are hitting a combined .317 against him on the season, and several of these Blue Jays have hit him well throughout their careers also. Jose Reyes (5/11), Bautista (5/17 HR) and Martin (6/15 HR) have combined to hit .372 against the righty. Overall, Verlander has been mediocre at best against the Jays in his career, posting a 3-3 mark with a 4.29 ERA in 9 career starts against the franchise. Estrada has never faced the Tigers, but he has struggled with his control in recent games. He suffered through his worst outing of 2015 last time out at Boston, laboring through a mere 2.1 innings of work, walking 4 and allowing 4 ER. Free passes have been his issue lately, allowing 11 of them in his L23 IP, but he did have back-to-back starts in which he took a no-hitter into the 8th inning immediately prior to the Red Sox game. Still a 15-game run is a 15-game run and we can’t ignore that. Go with the OVER in today’s meeting…..
