2 Units - #925 Houston / #926 Oakland (under 9) *10 EST
The Astros are red hot, and just destroyed the A's 9-1 last night. Two good pitchers tonight in Miley and Montas, with the bullpens and the starters almost even. Miley has owned the A's, 5-1 lifetime with a 1.40 ERA against them and he started a 6-0 shutout of them back on the 6th. I think this one is a dog fight and hits and runs at a premium.
Montas faced the Astros back on the 5th and it was a 3-2 game, he allowed 2 runs and 7 hits in just over 5 innings on the hill. 3-2 type ballgame here in my opinion. Lots of Over trends here and that is also why I like the Under, as based on trends and recent history oddsmakers have inflated this line. Runs should be at a premium.
2- Units - #903 St Louis / #904 Milwaukee (OVER 9.5) -110 *1:40 EST
Afternoon Game
Milwaukee's offense at home continues to be sensational, averaging 6.9 RPG, after battering St. Louis pitching for 10 and 8 runs so far in this series. They probably will not have as much success against the Redbirds Michael Wacha, whose 5.28 is attributed to one bad outing. However, the ways Brewers are swinging the lumber, if Wacha continues to give up four walks a start, they will take advantage of the situation.
Brew Crew starter Corbin Burnes (10.05 ERA) has given up nine HR's in just over 14 innings, with eight coming on fastballs. The Cards are 23-9 OVER when having lost three of four and 32-13 OVER as a road underdog of +100 to +150.
3 Units - #927 Pittsburgh (-110) over Detroit *6:40 EST
I have a nice situational play for you with Pittsburgh at Detroit. The Pirates have won 16 of 21 games against the AL and in the mix has come nine victories and only two losses versus the Tigers. The Bucs Trevor Williams (1-0, 2.45 ERA) gives his team a solid six innings almost every time out and against Detroit, he's on a string of 13 scoreless innings and will face a lineup averaging 2.7 RPG. With Pittsburgh 20-4 vs. AL teams scoring 3.9 or less RPG, you can figure what side I'll be on.
Just no reason whatsoever NOT to follow what's been happening in the East and assume Vegas has finally decided It doesn't wanna be NHL underdog's little bitch anymore. For 3 games in a row...after Columbus proved for 2 straight periods to finish game 1 they were the better team...Vegas threw up disgusting big plus numbers and kept paying through the nose. They inexplicably did the same thing with the Islanders Penguins series all the way to last night with Pittsburgh laying -170. Quite possibly the dumbest line they've hung in 2019 and maybe will hang for the remaining 8 months of this year.
Sadly tonight we aren't getting as lucky with the money...the dare Vegas has put on us tonight isn't nearly as AUTOMATIC as it was with the 2 sweeps in the East...but the Avalanche are the right side...if you need any more proof look to 2 facts:
1) Colorado opened a short dog and looks to be the favorite by dinner time
2) Never once was Columbus or New York this close to an even line and Vegas watched them combine for 8-0 so far...if Colorado was anything but what every linesmaker considered the right side it'd have been bigger but still devolved as fast as it has anyway
