Had a couple of rather easy wins last night. Let's get more Winners.
Chicago vs San Francisco
The Cubs offense is on fire right now as they come in having averaged 7 rpg in their last 8 games. I can't see their offense getting slowed down in this one vs Jake Peavy, who has struggled recently, with a 5.94 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He has not pitched well lately and also has a 4.13 ERA in 5 home starts this year. Those starts have been high scoring as his home starts have averaged 9.8 rpg.
Kyle Hendricks has also struggled recently as he has a 7.24 ERA and a 1.90 WHIP in his last 3 starts, while on the road he has posted a 4.44 ERA. Kyle's last 5 starts have averaged a very nice 11 rpg. The Giants have averaged just 3.8 rpg in their last 10 game, but I fel they can get at least 4 here, while the Cubs will also post that much.
Take the Over 7 in this game.
Colorado vs Atlanta
Gonna go low in this one. Is there another pitcher that has pitched in worse luck that Shelby Miller, who is 5-10 on the year, but with a nice 2.50 ERA. This guy just doesn't get any support at all. At home it is worse where he is 2-5 with a 2.01 ERA. For the record his home starts have averaged just 6.23 rpg on the year, while his last 3 starts overall have averaged just 5.33 rpg.
Yohan Flande is not a great pitcher, but he doesn't have to be vs an Atlanta offense that hits just .216 at home vs lefties. The Braves have averaged just 2.7 rpg in their last 10 games and have scored just 2.42 rpg for Miller at home.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the Under is 13-3 in Miller's last 16 games when his team is off a loss and the Under is 25-11 in the Rockies last 36 vs the NL East.
We're going under 7.5 in this one.
