After a quick glance, I like the Nationals. Coming off a walk off win against the padres who haven't put much on the board, I can see Zimmerman having another solid outing ..
It's A New Week. Time To Make Some $$ On Monday

#283Padres @ Nationals
The Padres haven't been scoring much, and apart from last night in the bottom of the 9th, the Nats hadn't put much on the board either. Washington has scored more than three runs just once in their last 7 games. The Padres have scored more than three in one of their last 8, so neither team is knocking it out of the park. Stults is 1-2 (4.35) with 9 K's in 20.2 IP. Zimmerman is 1-1 (3.92) with 23 K's in 20.2 IP.
They've both had a rocky start this season, but I think this could be another tight game. Only edge I think is that the Nats could come in on a high after winning last night's game in walkoff fashion, which could give them some extra pep to their step.
Stults is 1-0 against Washington in the last 3 years, with a 1.13 ERA, with the current Nats squad batting .079 against him in 38 at bats. Zimmerman is 1-2 with a 1.95 ERA, and the Padres have a .203 BA against him in 69 at bats.
I'm gonna ride the Nats here.. Don't let me down Zimmerman!

#296Reds @ Braves
Cincinnati: +135 ML / -170 RL
Atlanta: -145 ML / +150 RL
Atlanta continues their 6 game home stretch on Friday night against the Reds, who are coming off three straight victories against the Pirates. The Braves took two of three from the Marlins, and scored a combined seven runs in 3 games. They hand the ball to Ervin Santana (2-0, 0.86) who has been fantastic this season. In 21 innings pitched, he has given up 13 hits, 2 runs, 2 er's, 1 HR, 2 BB and has 24 k's. Opponents are batting .178 against him. Two of his games came against the Mets, who aren't the greatest offensive team, but nonetheless, impressive numbers.
He will get his first look at the Reds tonight. Home or away, Santana has been lights out. And he will be up against a Cincinnati team that has scored 32 runs in their last 7 away games.
The Reds have more right handed batters in their lineup, and Santana has been at his best against them. Righties are batting .226 against him in the last 4 years, with lefties posting a .251 batting average. And from the batters on the Reds that he has faced, they've been held to a .118 batting average in 34 at bats.
His three performances this season have left the Braves very excited that they signed him after their injuries heading into the season.
Homer Bailey will try to build off his last outing against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, where he went 6 innings, while giving up 6 hits, 3 walks and 8 k's. His previous three starts were far from impressive. 5 ER's at home against the Pirates, while he also gave up 4 ER's twice, home and away to the Cardinals. He's 1-1 this season with a 5.75 ERA, and things don't look to get much easier at Turner Field, where he is 0-1 (3.55) in 2 starts since 2011. He's pitched 12.2 innings there, giving up 16 hits, 5 ER's, 3 walks and 10 k's, with the Braves tagging him with a .314 batting average.
Atlanta's has scored four runs just once in their last four games, so if Bailey can come up with a solid performance, this could be another tight game.
Given Bailey's numbers this year, lefties have hit him well. They've put together a .486 ba against him, while right handed batters have hit .235. The Braves have a decent balance of right and left handed batters, but majority are right handed.
With the way Santana has been pitching, coupled with how well the Braves play at home, I have to side with the Braves here.
I also think that Under 7 could have some value, but it all depends which version of Homer Bailey shows up tonight.

#297Yeah I'm not sure a write-up is needed for this game. Cubs have been collectively batting under .200 lately, and going up against the Brew Crew who have the best record in the majors, it doesn't look promising for them. Matt Garza is gonna have to sort himself out against his former team. He started the season well, but has been inconsistent as of late.
Fortunately, Villanueva has been even worst. He's clearly just filling in until Jake Arrieta gets thrown into the rotation, and he knows that. He's 1-4 this season, and in his three starts, he's given up 15 ER's in just 12.12 innings pitched.
The ML for the Brewers is at -171 right now, but I think as the day goes on, it could probably get much higher than that. I like the Brewers tonight, and may even take the chance of the RL in a parlay at +120.Comment -

#298I liked Atlanta at 1st too, but leaning more to Under 7.
I have never done well backing or going vs Homer...seem to predict him to do the opposite.
Probably going with Braves ML and Under 7 (bigger bet)Comment -

#299Yeah it's a tough one because Santana has been lights out, but you get the sense that sooner or later he's going to have a bad outing. But I like my chances taking the Braves at home. If it was in Cinci, I'd be more cautious..Comment -

#300Also, for some afternoon footy... I like Marseille with the PK option. They are 3 pts back of Lyon, who have the last European spot, so they need the points. Nantes on the other hand are missing some players, and already guaranteed their spot in Ligue 1 for next year. So they don't have much to play for. And up until their last game when they beat Valenciennes 6-2, they were the worst offensive team in the league. They are still one of the worst.
I think worst case this could be a draw, but seeing how Marseille need the points, I may side with them...

#303Braves +1.5 is -245
Not too keen on that one.
Cardinals +1.5 is -175...hard to believe that after 2 straight losses and returning home where they play Pirates tough.
I have a parlay: Nats ML / Cards +2.5 that I have a hard time seeing it lose.
Going to do an IF win bet...and 2nd parlay will be:
Braves +1.5 / Flyers +1Comment -

#304Indians @ Giants
Indians: +135 ML / -170 RL
Giants: -145 ML / +150 RL
This game stuck out to me for one reason - Carrasco is pitching. This guy has given up 14 runs in just 16 innings pitched (0-2, 7.31). Now prior to SF's last game, they have only scored nine runs in their last five games, which were all away from home. On Wednesday, they hit a ton of HR's, beating Colorado at Coors Field 12-10 after 11 innings. The Giants will be happy to return home, where they haven't scored many runs either, but against Carrasco who is capable of giving up a ton of runs, they should like their chances.
Tim Hudson will get the start for the Giants, and he will face the Indians for the first time in nearly 10 years. His numbers against them aren't that great either. He's put together a 1-2 record against the tribe, with a 6.33 ERA in eight starts. Nothing to write home about.
His return to the Bay Area has gone well thus far. He's 2-1 with a 2.40 ERA in four starts. What's impressive is that he has yet to give up a walk this season, so the Indians' hitters are going to have to work real hard to get on base because he clearly doesn't like to give up free passes. He has limited opponents to .213 batting average, while Carrasco has allowed hitters to get away with a .302 batting average.
In the last 3 years, whether it's at home, away or at night, Carrasco has an ERA over 4.00 with at least 14 starts in each of those categories. As for Hudson, he has a 4.21 ERA away from home since 2011, but at home, he's done fairly well (22-9, 2.96). And although those home games were while he was in Atlanta, I like his chances tonight against the Indians. Francona's side ended a seven game home stand 4-3, but I see them running into some trouble tonight. They may be able to get a few runs against Hudson, but I think the major concern is how many runs will Carrasco allow to cross home plate...

#305Can someone explain to me how the DBacks are favored tonight? I understand they are at home, but they are 1-11 at home this season. And they also have Collmenter on the mound, who is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA? And on the other side you have a Phillies team that is hitting well, and although Hernandez got roughed up in his last outing at Coors Field where the Rockies are scoring runs for fun, he wasn't all that bad in his previous 3 starts...
I LOVE the Phillies +1.5 at -170 here, and may even convince myself to take the Phillies ML at +125..

#309Oakland @ Houston...
Chavez has been outstanding this season, and after the beat down the Astros got last night, can we expect more of the same? Peacock gets the start, and he only allowed 2 ER's last week against the A's, but how will it play out today? Will Peacock have their offense figured out and shut them down, or does the offense have the upper hand against him? Cespedes is out with a hamstring injury.. He hasn't been hitting the ball well, so I don't think it will hurt the A's offense against the Astros who have lost something like 11 of their last 13 at home against Oakland...
Leaning Oakland here at -174, but may also take a gamble on the RL at -120.. Surprised that the ML isn't higher, considering the RL is at -120...Comment -

Robbie Erlin's starts have gotten worst this season. Started well against Clevland with 1 ER in 6IP, then got tagged for 3 ER against Colorado, and then 4 ER against SF in his last start. But Strasburg has been just as inconsistent. His last start against the Cards was much better, only giving up 2 ER, but can we expect that same performance tonight?
His numbers this season have been better at home, and over his career, home is where he is more comfortable. Against the Padres in the last 3 seasons he's gone 2-1, 4.50 ERA. Meanwhile Erlin has been better away from home this season. But over his career, he has an ERA of 7.06 when traveling. And he's pitched 4 innings against the Nats, with a... ready for it.... 20.25 ERA.. DAMN!!!
Third time is a charm right? Gotta go with the Nats here, and pray that Strasburg isn't throwing beach balls out there. Don't feel all that comfortable laying all that juice on the ML, so will likely play them in a Parlay...Comment -

#313For late night, I think the giants roll the indians... the indians batters have never seen hudson pitch, and hudson is health and pitching fire.. while the indians young pitcher carrasco has been consistently giving up 4-5 runs every game....
as for the a's, braves, and brewers im playing them small. reason being is villaneuva has been solid the last 2 games and has been historically good against the brewers, as for the braves - santana hasn't really played any good offensive teams this year so im hesistant as this might be a good letdown spot - lets hope todays not a bad day, but a good night
for the nhl, i'm going to play the blackhawks and the bulls... i chose the blackhawks to win the series and if they dont win tonight, they wont win the series imo.... in addition, they could have easily won all 4 games as they gave up a goal in both games 1 and 2 in the final 2 minutes of the game to send them to OT
for the nba, the bulls - everyone is now on the wizards bandwagon and calling for a sweep yet the line is only +2, the bulls might have already lost the series but these guys are fighters and literally never give up on any game.. this might be their "last stand"Comment -

And Villanueva has pitched well? You might want to go look at that again haha.. He's started 3 games, and after giving up 1 ER to the Phillies in 5IP, he's been tagged for 14 ER in 7.2 IP, against the Cardinals and the Reds. Bad enough that we are talking about the Cubs, Villanueva has been AWFUL! hahaComment -

#315I like the O's to roll the Royals tonight. And yes I know Ubaldo is pitching.. That dude's middle name should be Ubaldo HOME RUN Jimenez given how he's pitched this year. But he's 0-4, and although he's sucked, this guy has to put in a decent performance sooner or later because let's face it, his career numbers just don't match up with the start he's had this season. The Orioles offense has been lighting up the scoreboard, and returning home, against the Royals who have the lowest number of HR's this season, this could be a high scoring game. And not to mention, the Orioles with a ML of -111 at home is a good value. Might even take a gamble on my adventurous parlay of the day on the Orioles RL.Comment
