5 Unit Play. Take #962 Los Angeles Dodgers -140 over St. Louis (10:10p.m., Thursday May 25)
Last night the St. Louis Cardinals beat Rich Hill and the Dodgers 6-1 and tonight both teams will be looking to win this 3-game series. Tuesday night the Dodgers won 2-1 with Kershaw on the mound and tonight with Kenta Maeda I see the Dodgers winning this game. Maeda has been outstanding in his last 3 starts going 2-0 (Dodgers 3-0), WHIP 0.84, and ERA 2.21 and if he keeps the ball down I see him having no problem with the Cardinals lineup. The Dodgers have won 4 out of their last 6 home games and Maeda is well rested since he hasn't pitched since May 10 and that game win was at home against the Pirates. St. Louis has dropped 5 out of their last 7 games and the Dodgers are 8-2 following a loss.
4 Unit Play. Take #951 Colorado Rockies -115 over Philadelphia Phillies (1:05 PM, Thursday, May 25)
The Colorado Rockies will look for their sixth win in their last seven games when they take on the Phillies at Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA on Thursday afternoon. Tyler Anderson (3-4, 6.00 ERA, 1.42 WHIP) will get the start for the Rockies and he will be opposed by Vince Velasquez (2-4, 5.98 ERA, 1.42. WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Phillies. Colorado has posted a 9-2 record in their last eleven road games and they have gone an excellent 5-2 in their last seven Game #4's of a series. The Phillies, on the other hand, have really struggled in the spot they are in here today as they have gone just 2-7 in their last nine games after losing the first three games of a series and they are an awful 1-8 in Velasquez's last nine home starts. Throw in the fact that the Rockies have won nine of eleven road games where they faced a right handed starter and we'll take them at the pickem or so price to get the road win in Philly on Thursday afternoon.
4 Unit Play. Take #954 Chicago Cubs -115 over San Francisco Giants (2:20 PM, Thursday, May 25)
The Chicago Cubs will look for their fourth win in their last five games when they take on the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL on Thursday afternoon. Eddie Butler (1-0, 2.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP) will get the start for the Cubs and he will be opposed by Jeff Samardzija (1-5, 4.57 ERA, 1.13 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Giants. Chicago has posted a 5-1 record in their last six home games when facing a team with a losing record on the road and they have gone an excellent 15-6 in their last 21 Game #4's of a series. The Giants, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they have gone just 4-11 in Samardzija's last fifteen starts when facing a team with a winning record and they have lost eight of their last nine Game #4's of a series. Throw in the fact that the Cubs are 11-2 in their last thirteen head to head meetings with the Giants at Wrigley Field and we'll take them at the pickem or so price to get the home win in Chicago on Thursday afternoon.
4 Unit Play. Take #955/956 San Diego Padres vs New York Mets Over 7.5 (7:05 PM, Thursday, May 25)
Two teams that have been trending to the over will meet when the San Diego Padres take on the New York Mets at Citi Field in New York, NY on Thursday night. Dinelson Lamet will make his major league debut for the Padres and he will be opposed by Jacob deGrom (3-1, 3.56 ERA, 1.31 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Mets. The Padres have posted a perfect 4-0-1 record to the over in their last five road games where they faced a team with a losing record at home and they are also a perfect 6-0-1 to the over in their last seven games versus a team from the NL East. The Mets have been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone a perfect 10-0-2 to the over in their last twelve games versus a team with a winning % of .400 or lower and they have gone up and over the number in eleven of their last thirteen Game #3's of a series. Throw in the fact that the Mets are also 35-14-6 to the over in their last 55 games overall going back to the end of the 2016 season and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both starting pitchers to get hit around a bit in New York on Thursday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #959/960 Arizona Diamondbacks vs Milwaukee Brewers Over 8.5 (8:10 PM, Thursday, May 25)
Two teams that have been trending to the over will meet when the Arizona Diamondbacks hit the road to take on the Brewers at Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI on Thursday night. Robbie Ray (3-3, 3.91 ERA, 1.32 WHIP) will get the start for the Diamondbacks and he will be opposed by Zach Davies (5-2, 5.44 ERA, 1.66 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Brewers. The DBacks have posted a 4-1 record to the over in Ray's last five starts versus a team from the NL Central and they have gone an excellent 8-2 in his last ten starts where he started Game #1 of a series. The Brewers 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 six of their last seven games where they faced a left handed starter and they are an impressive 16-5 to the over in their last 21 home games. Throw in the fact that these two teams have gone 5-1-1 to the over in their last seven head to head meetings at Miller Park and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both of these potent offenses to show up in Milwaukee on Thursday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #961 St Louis Cardinals +135 over Los Angeles Dodgers (10:10 PM, Thursday, May 25)
The St Louis Cardinals will look for their third win in their last four games when they take on the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA on Thursday afternoon. Michael Wacha (2-1, 2.74 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) will get the start for the Cardinals and he will be opposed by Kenta Maeda (3-2, 5.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Dodgers. St Louis has posted a perfect 8-0 record in their last eight road games where they faced a right-handed starter and they have gone an excellent 5-2 in Wacha's last seven starts versus a team with a winning record. The Dodgers, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone 0-4 in Maeda's last four starts when facing a team that scored five runs or more in their previous contest. Throw in the fact that the Cards have won ten of their last eleven road games overall and we'll take them at the underdog price to get the road win in LA on Thursday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #967/968 Texas Rangers vs Boston Red Sox Over 9 +105 (7:10 PM, Thursday, May 25)
Two teams that have been trending to the over will meet when the Texas Rangers take on the Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston, MA on Thursday night. Nick Martinez (1-2, 4.33 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) will get the start for the Rangers and he will be opposed by Drew Pomeranz (3-3, 4.97 ERA, 1.47 WHIP), who is scheduled to get the call on the hill for the Red Sox. The Rangers have posted a perfect 4-0-2 record to the over in their last six games versus a team from the AL East and they have gone an excellent 7-3 to the over in their last ten road games when facing a team with a home winning % of .600 or higher. The Red Sox have been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone up and over the total in nine straight games following a win and they are a lights out 14-2 to the over in in their last sixteen games overall. Throw in the fact that these two teams have gone 4-1 to the over in their last five head to head meetings at Fenway Park and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both teams to put runs on the board in Boston on Thursday evening.
4 Unit Play. Take #972 Washington Nationals -135 over Seattle Mariners (12:05 PM, Thursday, May 25)
The Washington Nationals will look for their fourth win in a row when they take on the Seattle Mariners at Nationals Park in Washington DC on Thursday afternoon.

Washington has posted a 7-1 record in their last seven interleague home games when facing a team with a losing record and they have gone an excellent 9-2 in their last eleven Game #3's of a series. The Mariners, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they have gone just 2-6 in their last eight road games where they faced a left handed starter and they have lost eleven of their last fourteen road games versus a team with a home winning % of .600 or higher. Throw in the fact that the Nationals are an impressive 13-1 in the last thirteen head to head meetings between the two teams, including a perfect 8-0 at home and we'll lay the price with them here to get win in DC on Thursday afternoon.

It would be entirely too easy to assume that Houston just bounces back, and that Verlander is washed up. Last night the Tigers won without JD Martinez in the lineup, and he actually hits Fiers well (in a very limited sample). Castellanos is resting, but that's fine, too, because he hasn't hit Fiers. But, most everyone in the league HAS his Fiers this season. He had his career year in 2014, and some success out of the bullpen in Milwaukee, but now it's back to normal. If you want to back the Astros, you're backing a starting pitcher that has given up 17 home runs in 42 innings - and that's not a misprint. He hasn't pitched more than six innings this season, and Houston's bullpen has been "ok," but not overly impressive. Verlander has been an underdog three times this season and Detroit has won two of them. Last night, Houston just could not hit with runners in scoring position, and I've found that to be a trend as opposed to something that just rights' itself overnight. Over the last week the Astros are hitting .202 (also not a misprint). Detroit's bullpen has been labeled dicey at best, but as most of you know I am all about what's happening right now, and right now they've got a 1.02 WHIP ove‡r the last week, which is good enough for me. I trust Verlander to get us to that point FAR more than I trust Fiers to get Houston to THEIR closer.
