SPORTS WAGERS

Washington +1.32 over SAN DIEGO

Both these pitchers are very similar in that they’re both having good years when they’re really just two very average hurlers. Livan Hernandez possesses smooth mechanics and plenty of durability. He changes speeds and mixes his pitches very well and he eats innings. Hernandez has allowed just 47 hits in 60 innings and induces a ton of ground balls. That should bode well here. Jon Garland is also an innings eater. He gets ahead in the count and challenges batters repeatedly with his sinking fastball. He’s always around the plate, so he doesn't give up many walks. However, he doesn't overpower anyone and despite his solid command, he surrenders way too many hits and a few too many homers. Also, Garland’s 86% strand is helping him sustain an ERA far below his 4.53 xERA. There’s a good chance one or both of these guys gets beat up today and while the Padres are having a better season than the Nats, one can’t argue that the visitor’s offense is far more dangerous. Now you throw in a tag of +1.32 and it’s also hard to argue where the value lies. The Nats are playing decent ball and rarely do they lose two in a row, as it’s happened only five times this season. Play: Washington +1.32 (Risking 2 units).


Pittsburgh +1.61 over ATLANTA

The Cardinals and the Braves continue to be the most overvalued teams in the majors and no matter how you break this one down the Pirates have a great chance to win. Kenshin Kawakami has surrendered six jacks in 28 IP this month. Kawakami has also allowed 55 hits in 49 innings for a BAA of .284. He almost always allows three, four or five runs every game out, which makes the Braves a huge risk laying lumber like this. The Braves are hot with nine wins in 10 games but that’s not going to continue much longer, as its offense leaves plenty to be desired and you can double that against southpaws. They’ll face a southpaw here in Paul Maholm. Current Braves batters are hitting just .194 against Maholm in 62 career AB’s and he’s been getting progressively sharper lately. He’s coming off a beauty in Cincinnati in which he did not allow a single run in seven full innings. He’s also been better on the road this season with an impressive 3.09 ERA. There’s also a good chance the Braves will rest some starters, as they await the Phillies for a matinee game tomorrow. Overlay. Play: Pittsburgh +1.61 (Risking 2 units).

Washington(Hernandez, L) @ San Diego (Garland, J) (May 30 4:05 PM EST)

John Garland tries to win a seventh consecutive decision Sunday afternoon as he and the first-place Padres play the decisive finale of a three-game set against Livan Hernandez and the visiting Nationals.

Hernandez (4-3, 2.08 ERA) and Garland (6-2, 2.10 ERA) rank fourth and fifth in the NL, respectively, in ERA, but while Hernandez is slowing down a bit, Garland has won six straight.

Garland escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning Tuesday to make it through seven in a 1-0 win over St. Louis; the third time this month he has pitched seven scoreless innings.

Garland has particularly enjoyed his first five outings at home this season. He's 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA.

Hernandez, meanwhile, is 0-2 with a 4.67 ERA in his last three outings after beginning the season 4-1 with a 1.04 ERA. After four scoreless innings Tuesday at San Francisco, he unraveled in the fifth, allowing five straight two-out hits and four runs en route to a 4-2 loss.

Hernandez has never won in San Diego in seven attempts, and is 0-5 with a 7.20 ERA in his last five trips. He will lose again today.

Pick: Padres -140

Wunderdog

Game: Baltimore at Toronto (1:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Toronto -195 (moneyline)

The Blue Jays go for the series sweep here and they should get it. Rick Romero goes for Toronto and he has been great this year. At home he's 3-1 with a 1.74 ERA. Yes, Jeremy Guthrie has also been good. But, this Jays team can hit. They are averaging 5.6 runs per game for the Jays at home this season (5.8 overall vs. RHP). And, they are 9-2 this season vs. AL pitchers with a 1.300 or better WHIP. Baltimore just doesn't have the bats to keep up here as they average only 3.5 runs per game. The Orioles are 7-24 on the season vs. AL opponents averaging 4.7 or fewer RPG. They are also just 3-17 this season after a game in which they scored under 3 runs. Toronto gets the sweep.
