Yesterday's Recap:
2-4 -1.66 Units
Overall Second Half (July 1st & After)
40-37-1 +11.47 Units
So far for today I have two totals and two sides, looking at a couple more......
Hou Astros Vs. Pitt Pirates OVER 9 1/2 -107
Risking 2.00 Units to Win 1.86 Units
The Astros beat up on left handed pitchers because of that dominant right handed lineup. Tonight they get a lefty that is struggling. Overall this season Houston is hitting .303 VS. Left handed pitching. Over their last ten games they are hitting .316 Vs. Lefties. Joe Beimel is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in July and was 1-3 with a 6.33 in June. In those two months he has allowed 31 Earned runs in 43 IP. Right handed hitters are cracking him at .300 clip. Looks good for Biggio, Bagwell, Alou, Hidalgo, and Castilla. Shane Reynolds is 1-3 with a 6.85 ERA in July and has struggled this year against the Pirates in one start allowing 4 Earned in 5.2 IP. Teams are hitting him at a .303 pace overall. Struggles with runners on base as well..... teams hit him at .379 with runners in scoring position and .404 with runners in scoring position and two outs.
Cle Indians -1 1/2 -117 Det Tigers
Risking 2.00 Units to Win 1.70 Units
I know stop me if you have seen this before, the Indians did not even come close to lighting up the scoreboard last night as I thought they would. Well, I will give them another chance here. The Indians are 30-18 on the road this year as they seem to be able to maintain their concentration better away from Jacobs field. They have hit lefites at a .280 pace on the road as well. Pettyjohn will have his hands full tonight against that powerful lineup. In two starts this year he has allowed nine earned in 10.2 IP, allowing 17 Baserunners total. You will get hammered allowing that many on base against a lineup that has great ability. Colon has pitched extremely well on the road, 7-1 with a 2.65 ERA and .230 average against. In July so far he has been outstandng as well, 3-0 1.82 ERA.
MN Twins Vs. Sea Mariners UNDER 9 1/2 -120
Risking 2.00 Units to Win 1.66 Units
Seattle's last ten games have played to the under nine times with the other contest ending in a push. Six of the Twins last ten games have gone under the total as well. The main reason I believe for the Under being so dominant in the Mariners games is the excellent bullpen. At home this year the M's pen has a 2.29 ERA and in their last ten games their pen has an amazing ERA of 0.96.... The Twins pen recently has held their own as well in the series VS the A's they had an ERA of 1.57. Abbott is 5-1 with a 3.32 ERA at home with teams only hitting .203 against him. In July he is 2-0 with a 3.41 ERA......... When runners are on base he really gets hard to hit, .275 with runners in scoring position and .179 with runners in scoring position and two outs.
KC Royals +190 Oak A's
Risking 2.00 Units to Win 3.80 Units
It probably isn't a good idea to go against Mulder and the A's at home, but Suppan has pitched very well against the A's. So far this season he has pitched 15 innings against them and has allowed five earned runs for a 3.00 ERA..... On the road Suppan has a respectable 4.36 ERA with opponents hitting him at .256; with runners on base he is very tuff...... .207 with runners in scoring position and .200 with runners in scoring position and two outs. Meanwhile Mulder has struggled in his start against the Royals...... 11 hits four earned in five innings ptiched..... Plus, it is possible to get to him later in games, in the seventh inning and later opponents hit him at a .311 pace. In their last three games the pen for the A's got worked really hard throwing 171 pitches. Going to take a chance on "Soup" and the big plus number.
