4 Units - Pittsburgh (-130) over Colorado *12:35 EST
VERY EARLY GAME
Had Colorado as a twitter free pick yesterday (@tgeorgesports) and I love the other side today after a loss yesterday with a solid pitcher in Jordan Lyles with a 1.97 ERA this season at home in revenge mode. Add in the fact the Pirates are 7-1 as a team in his 8 starts this season and he pitched a scoreless 7.2 inning against the Rockies in his last start against them and struck out 10, and I like the Pirates chances. Colorado send out Senzatela with a 6.06 ERA his last 3 starts, and I fully think the run support will be with Pitt here behind a very hot pitcher.
2 Units - #906 Cubs (-120) over Philly *2:35 EST
AFTERNOON GAME
Analytics knuckleheads will talk about Jon Lester's decreased fastball, his assortment of curves lacking the same bite of a younger hurler and he's giving up more than a hit an inning. But I like you am a bettor and I see a pitcher with a 2.09 ERA which is even lower at Wrigley Field (0.46) coming off his worst start of the season. Lester and the Cubs are 24-7 as a favorite of -110 or higher the past two seasons and Joe Maddon's crew is 18-6 when the money line is -100 to -150. Add in the Phillies are 11-27 in road games vs. NL teams scoring 4.5 or more runs a game and like Harry Carry used to say, "Cubs win, Cubs win!"
