290 NYJ 6.5(-110) Pinnacle vs 289 CLE double-dime bet
Analysis: If you can find +7-120 that is better.
PROP BET: No score 1st 6:30, -110, 1 star. I expect a cautious start to this game.......
The market has overadjusted for Darnold
Fez has the dropoff to Siemian being 2 points
The Market moved from 2.5 to 6.5
OVERreaction
Darnold and Siemian have had comparable stats
AND Siemian has often played hurt
(which would have lowered his past stats)
Fez is ON the Jets +6.5

Rotation #901-902
Brewers -160 over Padres
Davies/Richards
I am not a huge fan of playing money lines this high, but the Brewers are the hottest team in baseball and just one game out of a playoff spot. The Padres will start Garrett Richards who is 14 months removed from Tommy John. I imagine he only pitches 2-3 innings in his debut this year. This is a great feel good story, but it’s a bullpen start tonight. Take the Brewers.

(903) Washington Nationals at (904) St. Louis Cardinals
The Nationals and Cardinals tangle on Monday Night at Busch Stadium in downtown St Louis. Both National League clubs are fighting for postseason rights. The Nationals head into Monday night's contest with the top spot in the NL wild card. The Cardinals rest in first place in the NL Central with a two game edge on second place Chicago. The Nationals have a one-and-one-half-game lead over the same Chicago Cubs who have a one game lead over divinely foe Milwaukee for the second spot in the wild card chase.
Nationals' right-hander Anibal Sanchez defeated his former employer for the third time this season, Howie Kendrick homered and drove in three runs and the Nationals avoided a three-game sweep at the hands of NL East first place Atlanta on Sunday.
Ryan Braun hit a grand slam in the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the NL Central first place Cards. Bruan's homerun was the go-ahead hit against St Louis reliever Junior Fernandez and it came with two outs in the ninth inning. St Louis closer Carlos Martinez spent Saturday night in a hospital due to respiratory issues and was not at the ballpark Sunday.
Washington Nationals (82-66) at St. Louis Cardinals (83-66)
The Nats send right-hander Stephen Strasburg (17-6, 3.49) to the Busch mound to oppose righty Dakota Hudson (15-7, 3.38). At first glance one that didn't know and understand the skill set of Monday night's starters would think they were basically equal if for nothing else their similar surface numbers (wins/losses and ERA).
The truth is that there is very little similar when comparing the two right-handed starters.
Nationals
Strasburg earned his seventeenth win on Wednesday night in Minnesota. The Nationals defeated The Twins by a 6-2 final in which Strasburg threw six innings of two run baseball. Strasburg has been unusually durable and his command has become elite. Strasburg has 229 strikeouts with just 49 walks in 191 innings this season.
The righty has one start against the Birds this year and that start was a win. In 6.2 innings of work against the Cardinals this year the Nats No. 2 has a 1.35 ERA with two walks against nine strikeouts.
Cardinals
Hudson comes off a turn in which he allowed one hit in six innings in a win 10-0 over the Giants at Busch Stadium. On the year, Hudson has now made 30 starts and has a 3.38 ERA with a 1.41 WHIP. The delta between his ERA and his xFIP point to not just batted ball luck but extreme fortune on balls hit in play against Hudson.
His strikeout rate is well below average (17% K) and he walks far too many batters (11% BB) for a right-hander that is below league average in recording swinging strikes. The primary variable in Hudson being successful is twofold. That being the batted ball luck I mentioned previously. And as is the case for all big league pitchers the combination of less-than swinging strikes and 90-plus mph exit velocity off the oppositions bats with a 10-plus percent bases on balls ratio is nothing short of a time bomb waiting to implode.
The bare naked truth is that Strasburg is Cy Young worthy and is smack-dab in the middle of the award conversation. He enters tonight's big game and important series in a matchup of starting pitching that isn't close. And in a match that he is easily the most likely to lead his team and mates to a victory he is head and shoulder and night and day better on a day he doesn't have his elite command that that of St Louis' schedule first inning arm Hudson.
