Cincinnati Reds +114 over San Francisco Giants
In tonight's matchup, the Giants send Matt Cain (4-4, 2.36 ERA) to the mound as they take on the Reds and the National League's most prolific offense. Cain, who ranks third in the NL in opposing batting average (.192), pitched very well in his last outing, surrendering only one run in eight innings against the Rockies. The Reds counter with rookie Sam LeCure, who is 1-1 with a 3.92 ERA in two career major league starts.San Francisco opened as a -140 favorite at CRIS andis a slight public favorite, currently garnering 55% of moneyline bets. Even though public bets are favoring the Giants, the line has shrunk to -130 at CRIS, indicating big bets are backing the home underdog. Sports Insights' Betting Systems also like the Reds, triggering a Steam Move on Cincinnati at Olympic (+8.9 units). Marketwatch likes taking home underdogs, especially with reverse-line moment and a strong move showing value
“1 UNIT” BASEBALL UPSET SHOCKER (Astros +205 at Rockies in an 8:40 eastern start
(Moehler versus Francis): It is always dangerous to lay a large price with a starting pitcher who did NOT appear at all last campaign as Jeff Francis missed all of 2009 with major shoulder surgery. Even though his initial pair of 2010 assignments were solid, Francis has shown vulnerability since allowing a most generous NINE runs in the past 11 innings of work. Odds are very strong that if Colorado’s former ace is shaky again, we are going to have a major UPSET by Houston who is 18-7 this year when crossing the plate at least 4 times in the same game. Since statistically the Astros have baseball’s worst offensive attack, it should come as no surprise that they are a woeful 4-29 so far when plating “three or less” runs in a contest. Even though I sided with Houston last night and lost it should be noted that the offense averaged more than FIVE runs per game in going 5-1 out of the gate this month. Going into last night slugger Carlos Lee had put up major statistics in the month of June (.304, 3 HR, 7 RBI) while fellow outfielder Hunter Pence had an excellent on-base percentage (.421). So far in the month of June after collecting three more hits last night, Astros veteran infielder Pedro Feliz is 10-for-27 at the dish. While Houston was averaging 5’ runs per game, Colorado’s offense going into Monday had plated “three or less” runs 4 times in a five-game span. Getting back to this evening’s Colorado hurler, Jeff Francis the past three campaigns is a horrible 5-14 when the posted total is between 8’-and-10 runs which is the case on this Tuesday. For those into UMPIRE angles consider that the ROAD team is a positive 9-4 so far when Bob Davidson is calling balls-and-strikes Reply Reply With Quote
