1:05 Tigers (Coke 1-4 4.87 era) @ Indians (Masterson 5-0 2.18 era)

This is a game that all the numbers point directly at the Indians. They are playing very well at this point at home with a 11-2 record. It also helps that they are 3-0 as a home favorite of -125 to -150 and they are -150 as of right now. Masterson has been good as he starts the season out perfect. Of coarse im taking the Indians here , but the question is for how much. they matchup makes you want to unload on the tribe.

Not so fast my friend lets look at some more stats. Masterson life time against the Tigers is 0-2 with a 6.10 era in 20.2 innings. on the other hand Coke has faced the Indians in 8.2 innings in his carreer and tho he has never started he has a 2.08 era. Im not giving the green light to back the Tigers but just be careful.

So now lets look at the pick in this game. Masterson seems to be the better pitcher so far this year even tho he has giving up more runs in his last 2 outings then in the first 3. Indians are playing very well at home. And since the Tigers are only 6-10 against right handers this year we have to back the Tribe here but lets be smart.

4:10 Marlins (Nolesco 2-0 3.24 era) @ Reds (Arroyo 3-2 3.64 era)

The series is tied 1-1 with Marlins getting game one and the Reds taking the win from Josh Johnson in game two. Marlins has won Nolescos last 4 starts and he has got 2 wins in those 4 games. Arroyo pitched very good his last time out getting the win against the Brewers only giving up one run.

Lets look a little deeper Arroyo has started against the Marlins 6 times and is 0-2 with a 4.19 era. On the other hand Nolesco has faced the Reds 5 times and is 1-1 with a 5.58 era. Doesnt look like either pitcher is crushing the opposing team. Makes this a tough matchup.

Now lets take a look at the pick. Im going to back the total in this game that sets at 8.5. Game one there was 13 runs scored and in game two there was 7, but in game two it was ace vs ace. Im looking at a few runs being scored in this game so here is how I will play this game.
