Astros vs Pirates * Pirates (Karstens) -110 This is a great value for the Pirates who are the better team and pitching Jeff Karstens who has no problem with the Astros in the last home and road meetings. One note to mention, Karstens had an issue recently with knee swelling, but reports state that he is good to go tonight. Karstens is 7-4 with 2.55 ERA and 1.073 WHIP vs Myers 3-9 4.88 ERA and 1.367 WHIP.
7/15 Plus Plays
* Detroit RL We can't ignore the dominance of Verlander, home field advantage, WS Pitcher Floyd's struggles, and Verlander's past performances against a poor hitting WS team.
* Rockies Over the Total 10
The value is here again at Coors Field with the pitching match-up, Over trends, and field conditions. The wet weather did not seem to bother these teams last night expect the same conditions tonight.
* Reds vs Cards Over the Total 9 This is a hate match that should fly over the total. In the last 7 of 10 the game has gone Over the Total. This game is worth a lean at -115. Note the line has moved from 8 1/2 to 9. Clear weather
