ALLEN EASTMAN (L) – 2-Unit Play. Take #951 Colorado (+130)
over Cincinnati
(12:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 20)
I will go with the Rockies in this rubber match. This team has been playing very well out of the gate to start this season. They are 5-2 in their last seven games and are looking for their third straight series win. They were able to take two of three from the red hot Giants and Cubs. I think they can close out this series against the Reds. Chad Bettis has been great in his three starts this year. He has a 2.95 ERA despite having to pitch in Coors Field. He should be able to take care of the Reds today and this is a great underdog value. 2-Unit Play. Take #972 Baltimore (-110)
over Toronto
(7 p.m., Wednesday, April 20)
I think that Baltimore will bounce back today. They were very excited for this series against last year’s A.L. East champs. The O’s lost Game 1 of this series but almost pulled off a big comeback last night. R.A. Dickey hasn’t found control of his knuckleball yet. He has a 6.75 ERA and a 1.91 WHIP and hasn’t been good at all. The Orioles have won 10 of 11 home games and I think that they will come out firing in this one. 2-Unit Play. Take #957 Washington (+105)
over Miami
(7 p.m., Wednesday, April 20)
I will take the Nationals in this underdog role. At 10-3 they are one of the hottest teams in baseball. The Marlins are just 4-8 overall. Washington has won five of seven in this series and the Marlins are just 1-5 in their last six games overall. Joe Ross has won five of six starts for the Nats and this young kid is coming along. Wei-Yin Chen is getting too much respect from the books. He has lost both of his starts for Miami and has a 5.56 ERA so far this season, compared to just 0.61 ERA for Ross. The wrong team is favored here. 2-Unit Play. Take #978 Texas (-120)
over Houston
(8 p.m., Wednesday, April 20)
I won my 6-Unit MLB Play yesterday with the Rangers. I am going right back to them today. The Rangers are following up yesterday’s win with ace Cole Hamels today. Houston is just 5-9 and they are making last year look like a fluke. The home team has won 9 of 10 in this series and the Rangers have won 8 of 10 against their in-state rivals. Doug Fister has a 7.59 ERA so far this season and he won’t be able to match Hamels. Go with the Rangers again.
STRIKE POINT SPORTS 3-Unit Play. Take #528 Miami (-4.5)
over Charlotte
(7 p.m., Wednesday, April 20)
Again, I am a huge fan of Miami. This team is ready to make a big playoff run. I just don’t see Charlotte having the necessary roster to knock off Miami on their home court. Now I do not see the Heat winning as easily as they did in Game 1, but they will win and cover again nonetheless. The Heat’s depth, athleticism, and playoff savvy will be too much for the Hornets to overcome yet again. Miami is 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games while the Hornets are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games versus teams with winning home records. Lay the points in this one.
