Kansas City (Chen) at Cleveland (Gomez)
12:05 pm
Cleveland (Gomez) -124
I like Chen's stuff, I do, but I don't like his ERA (4.81)
Pretty good, not great WH/IP ratio 1.28
3-5 overall record
Indians hit him 49 for 165, 7 homers off Chen as well.
KC is a better road team (15-11) then Cleveland (15-13) at home
Gomez is a good enough starter, 3.94 ERA and a tidy 1.17 WH/IP ratio.
Slight edge to Gomez over Chen in the starting pitching department.
Key for KC is for Gordon to get on hitting lead off, if he does, Butler and the middle could do some damage.
If the Indian make shift line up can get Gomez some run support, he should earn the W
Lean (don't trust the Tribe line up, and KC has the potential to light up a score board) but not playing, Cleveland.
Oakland (Ross) at Minnesota (Liriano)
1:10 pm
Minnesota (Liriano) -117
I'm running as far away as possible from this slop fest.
Twins a 17 cent favorite? Wow, total disrespect to this Oakland squad.
Oakland's line up is just as bad or worse than San Diego's line up, which is as bad a line up I've seen in years.
You like gas cans? This game is for you.
Liriano has a 8.47 ERA, has a WH/IP ratio of 2.07 !
That's 2 base runners per inning, every inning he's on the mound.
Tyson Ross has a 5.79 ERA with a 1.83 WH/IP ratio.
I know starters with better ERA's than these two guys WH/IP's
Both these pitchers should have their player union cards yanked with numbers like those.
I wouldn't bet this game with a gun to my head.
If you must bet this game, either seek help, or try the under 8.5
Because when you see a game with two gas cans on the mound with pathetic hitters, the result is usually, not always goes under the posted total.
Chicago White Sox (Quintana) at Tampa Bay (Cobb)
1:10 pm
Tampa Bay (Cobb) -136
Both these starters I like, they are raw, but they are underrated.
On May 7, Quintana had to come on to clean up Humber's mess as Humber was giving up 8 earned in 2 + innings, finished what Humber couldn't going 5+ strong, giving up 1 hit, 0 runs. White Sox almost pulled that game out.
Quintana was so impressive he earned a start 5 days ago.
Beat Cleveland, chucking six complete innings on 4 hits, allowing 2 earned.
Quintana has earned his second start today
Cobb I like too, this will be his third start of the year, all in the past 2 weeks, he's on a regular 5 day schedule now, won his first two starts, impressively I may add.
Beat the Red Sox giving up 1 run, Braves giving up two runs, is durable, pitches 100 pitches a game.
Strong lean to White Sox though, I really like Quintana, he's pitching for a big paycheck, has quality stuff, and won't finish what he starts, he'll probably go six, seven innings max, but I love Addison Reed as the White Sox new closer.
Lean White Sox at + money here.
San Diego Padres (Bass) at Chicago Cubs (Dempster)
2:10 pm
Chicago Cubs (Dempster) -124
I like Bass, I like Dempster a little more.
-124 on Dempster is enticing.
Cubs bats are waking up, game is at Wrigley, and the Padres are a weak hitting team.
Baas has decent numbers 3.55 ERA good 1.23 WH/IP ratio.
Problem is, Padres can't score for him.
Dempster is the best winless pitcher on the planet.
That changes today
0-3 sparkling 2.14 ERA, eye popping WH/IP ratio of 1.06
Cubs bats are waking up, Cubs are at home, Cubs have the better line up (how often you hear that) and Cubs have the better starter.
There's your play
