4-Unit Play. Take #901 St. Louis (+100) over Atlanta (7 p.m., Saturday, May 6)

The Cardinals beat the Braves down 10-0 last night and I think they will do more of the same today. The Braves are just 1-4 in their last five games. The good luck of their new ballpark has worn off. This is one of the worst teams in the league. The road team has won six of seven in this series and the Cardinals are playing better, winning five of their last eight and 11 of 16. Mike Leake has been outstanding this year for the Cardinals. He has a 0.99 WHIP and a 1.35 ERA on the season. Julio Teheran has been struggling. He has an 8.44 ERA at home and an 8.27 ERA in his last three starts. Teheran has lost seven straight Saturday starts and the Braves are just 5-16 when he starts at home. The Cardinals are 5-2 when Mike Leake starts on the road. Go with the Cardinals here.

3-Unit Play. Take #920 Kansas City (+110) over Cleveland (7 p.m., Saturday, May 6)

I will back Jason Vargas in this one. He has been one of the best lefties in the A.L. and has been undervalued over the last few years. He has a 0.98 WHIP and a 1.42 ERA on this season and has been outstanding. The Royals are 4-1 in his five starts and this is great value with him as an underdog. Josh Tomlin has been terrible for the Indians. He has an 8.87 ERA and hasn't allowed fewer than three runs in any of his starts this year. Cleveland is just 2-8 in its last 10 games against left-handed starters and the Royals are 8-3 in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record. Kansas City is 19-7 when Vargas stars at home and 8-2 when he starts in a divisional games.

4 Unit Play. Take #929 Over 7.5 -105 NY Yankees at Chicago Cubs (7:15p.m., Saturday May 6)
With the total posted at 7.5 you can tell the wind is blowing in but I see offense producing tonight at Wrigley. Cubs starter tonight is Brett Anderson and his last home start the Phillies hit him hard and Anderson didn't even see the 3rd inning. Anderson is 1-1, 2.45 WHIP, 11.45 ERA in his last 3 starts and if he struggles tonight the Yankees will make him pay. Anderson has also struggled against the Yankees going 0-4 with a 6.53 ERA. Friday's game the Yankees won 3-2 and the Cubs bats will be looking for production tonight to even up this series and if Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery struggles with his location the Cubs bats will punish him and we could see small produce tons of runs tonight at Wrigley. The Yankees are 5-1 O/U against a left-handed starter and the Cubs are 7-0 O/U following a SU loss.

4 Unit Play. Take #901 St Louis Cardinals -105 over Atlanta Braves (7:10 PM, Saturday, May 6)

The St Louis Cardinals will look for their third win in their last four games when they take on the Braves at SunTrust Field in Atlanta, GA on Saturday night. Mike Leake (3-1, 1.35 ERA, 0.99 WHIP) will get the start for the Cardinals and he will be opposed by Julio Teheran (2-2, 4.33 ERA, 1.42 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Braves. St Louis has posted a 4-1 record in their last five Game #2's of a series and they have gone an excellent 11-3 in their last fourteen games where they faced a team with a losing record. The Braves, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have lost six of their last seven home games where they faced a right-handed starter and they have gone an awful 5-16 in Teheran's last 21 home starts going back to the Turner Field days. Throw in the fact that the Cardinals are 5-2 in Leake's last seven road starts while the Braves have gone just 1-6 in their last seven home games and we'll take the Cards at the pickem or so price to get the road win in Atlanta on Saturday night.

4 Unit Play. Take #905 Washington Nationals -110 over Philadelphia Phillies (7: PM, Saturday, May 4)

4 Unit Play. Take #905/906 Washington Nationals vs Philadelphia Phillies Over 9

The Washington Nationals will look to extend their win streak to four games when they take on the Phillies at Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday night. AJ Cole (1-2, 5.17 ERA, 1.33 WHIP in 2016) will make his first start of the year for the Nationals and he will be opposed by Vince Velasquez (2-2, 5.47 ERA, 1.44 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Phillies. Washington has posted a 6-1 record in their last seven road games where they faced a team with a home winning % of .600 or higher and they have gone an excellent 10-1 in their last eleven road games overall. The Phillies, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have lost seven of their last eight games overall and they are an awful 3-11 in Velasquez's last fourteen starts going back to the end of the 2016 season. Throw in the fact that the Nats are a lights out 13-3 in their last sixteen trips to CBP and we'll take them at the pickem or so price to get the road win in Philly on Saturday night.

As for the total, the Nationals have posted a 5-1 record to the over in their last six road games and they have gone an excellent 6-2 to the over in their last eight games following a win. The Phillies have been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone up and over the number in eight of their last ten games versus a team with a winning % of .600 or higher and they are a perfect 6-0 to the over in Velasquez's last six starts. Throw in the fact that the Nats are 8-3-1 to the over in their last twelve overall while the Phillies are 5-1 to the over when facing a righty and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both starters to struggle a bit in Philly on Saturday night.

4 Unit Play. Take #917 Boston Red Sox -150 over Minnesota Twins (2:10 PM, Saturday, May 6)

The Boston Red Sox will look to break their small two game losing streak when they take on the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis, MN on Saturday afternoon. Rick Porcello (1-4, 4.46 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) will get the start for the Red Sox and he will be opposed by Nick Tepesch (5-11, 4.36 ERA, 1.37 WHIP in 2016), who is scheduled to make his first start of the season for the Twins. Boston has posted a 9-3 record in their last twelve games following a loss and they have gone an excellent 4-1 in Porcello's last five road starts versus a team with a winning record. The Twins, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they have gone just 11-25 in their last 36 games versus a team from the AL East and 4 they have lost 36 of their last 51 games when facing a team with a winning record going back to the 2016 season. Throw in the fact that Boston is a lights out 12-3 in Porcello's last fifteen starts following a team loss in their last game and we'll lay the price here with the Red Sox to get the road win in Minnesota on Saturday afternoon.

4 Unit Play. Take #919 Cleveland Indians -110 over Kansas City Royals (4:10 PM, Saturday, May 6)

The Cleveland Indians will look to bounce back from their loss to the Royals on Friday night when the two teams meet again at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, MO on Saturday afternoon. Josh Tomlin (2-3, 8.87 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) will get the start for the Indians and he will be opposed by Jason Vargas (4-1, 1.42 ERA, 0.98 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Royals. Cleveland has posted a 5-2 record in their last seven games following a loss and they have gone an impressive 15-2 in Tomlin's last seventeen starts where he faced a team with a losing record. The Royals, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they have lost eight of their last eleven games where they faced a right-handed starter and they are an awful 3-14 in their last seventeen games versus an AL Central Division rival. Throw in the fact that the Indians have gone a lights out 8-1 in the last nine head to head meetings between the two teams and we'll take them at the pickem or so price to get the road win in KC on Saturday afternoon.

4 Unit Play. Take #923/924 Detroit Tigers vs Oakland A's Over 8.5 (9:05 PM, Saturday, May 6)

4 Unit Play. Take #923 Detroit Tigers +125 over Oakland A's

Two teams that have been trending to the over will meet when the Detroit Tigers take on the A's at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, CA on Saturday night. Jordan Zimmermann 3-1, 6.18 ERA, 1.63 WHIP) will get the start for the Tigers and he will be opposed by Jesse Hahn (1-2, 2.53 ERA, 1.03 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the A's. The Tigers have posted a perfect 6-0-1 record to the over in their last seven road games and they have gone an excellent 12-3-1 in Zimmermann's last sixteen starts overall going back to the end of the 2016 season. The A's have been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone 6-0 to the over in their last six games overall and they have gone up and over the number in seven of Hahn's last nine starts where he faced a team with a winning record. Throw in the fact that the Tigers are 6-2 to the over in their last eight games versus a team with a losing record while the A's are 5-1 to the over following a loss and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both starters, especially Zimmermann to struggle in Oakland on Saturday night.

As for the side, the A's have gone just 3-9 in their last twelve games following a loss and they are an awful 2-7 in their last nine games versus a right-handed starter. They have also lost five of their last six games when facing a team from the AL Central and they are just 2-9 in their last eleven games overall. The Tigers, on the other hand, have been pretty good in the spot they are in here tonight as they come into the game on a 4-1 run in their last five games where they faced a right-handed starter. Throw in the fact that the A's have also lost 16 of their last 21 home games against a team with a winning record and we'll take the Tigers at the underdog price to get the road win in Oakland on Saturday night.

6 Unit Play. Take #927/928 Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners Over 8.5 (9:10 PM, Saturday, May 6)

Two teams that have been trending to the over will meet when the Texas Rangers take on the Mariners at Safeco Field in Seattle, WA on Saturday night. Martin Perez (1-4, 4.26 ERA, 1.83 WHIP) will get the start for the Rangers and he will be opposed by Chase De Jong (0-2, 11.05 ERA, 2.32 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Mariners. Texas has posted a 6-2 record to the over in their last eight road games versus a team with a home winning % of .600 or higher and they are 6-2 to the over in Perez's last eight starts versus a team with a losing record overall. The Mariners have been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone up and over the number in four of their last five games versus an AL West Division rival and they are an impressive 17-5 to the over in their last 22 home games versus a team with a road winning % of .400 or lower. Throw in the fact that these two teams have gone 6-2 to the over in their last eight head to head meetings at Safeco and 16-6 to the over in their last 22 overall and that's where we'll have our play as we would be shocked to see either of these pitchers to make it past the fifth inning in Seattle on Saturday night.

4 Unit Play. Take #929 New York Yankees +120 over Chicago Cubs (7:15 PM, Saturday, May 6, FOX)

The New York Yankees will look to extend their win streak to four games when they take on the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL.

7-Unit Play. #924. Take Oakland -130 over Detroit (Saturday @ 9:05pm est)
We look for back to back Baseball Winners as we like Oakland to get it done over Detroit. This is an Oakland team that has one of its better pitchers on the mound today woh is 3-0 with a sub 2 era lifetime against Detroit. We like that the Tigers dominated the A's yesterday en route to a 7-2 win out hitting Oakland 11-9 but scoring 5 more runs. Oakland therefore is on a bounce-back and so is Hahn who despite pitching well did not win in his last two games. He comes off giving up 8 hits which is a season high for him against the Astros en route to a 2-7 loss which is his worst loss of the year. Therefore, with Hahn on the bounce-back, with the A's on the bounce-back and Zimmerman in a let down after the big Whitesox win where he won 7-3 but had given up 21 hits between the Rays and Twins the two games prior, look for the A's to take the cake here and to see some pitches they can hit while Hahn bounces back as well. The Tigers are 1-4 in their last 5 games when their opponent scores 2 runs or less and then Zimmerman is on the mound and the A's are 5-2 in their last 7 home games. Plus, the A's are also 6-1 in Hahn's last 7 home starts.

3-Unit Play. #509. Take Under 208.5 Golden State vs. Utah (Saturday @ 8:30pm est)
We roll with the Under here for a standard 3-unit play as though we think Utah will be an active underdog, we think the pace of this game will favor the Under. Note, Utah is the #1 Ranked defense in the League and this team is well aware that they will not be able to go toe to toe with the Warriors and their offenisve prowess. So, the only chance this team has is to play relentless defense for the entirety of the game and to slow the pace down and to make it a drag it out game. With Golden State watching Lebron and company pick up another blowout win and on the verge of sweeping the Raptors, we like Golden State to be focused on the defensive end as well as they continue to play hard for their coach who will not join them for the rest of this series either but will join them for the Western Conference Finals versus the Rockets or Spurs. Let's roll with the Under as it is a decent public fade, but more importantly, this is a nice spot here for the Under as Utah has to step up defensively at home.
