tough end to last week for sure, a lot of ups and downs in a 6 month season and last week was definitely a down week.

83-59 for +41.97 units

2* Reds -170 (Happ/Leake)
I don't usually go this high on a money line play but there's a lot to like in this one. The Reds destroy lefthanded pitching hitting .333 against this year and going 27-8 at home against them recently. Leake is in good current form and in his last 4 starts against Houston he's allowed 2,4,0,1 runs against. Astros are 3-13 after their last 16 wins, and Happ has an 8.27 ERA in night games and is 1-9 in his last 10 starts.

2* Over 8.5 -105 Reds/Astros

2* Braves -138 (Gallardo/Jurrjens)
Braves are 8-1 in Jurrjens home starts recently and he's been in great form since coming back. Gallardo has decent histrory against Braves but he's not the same pitcher right now (8.86 last 4) and Brewers are 1-8 with him as a road dog.

2* Marlins +160 (Volstad/Lohse)
I'll take a shot at this price with the Marlins right now. They're 12-4 in their last 16 games, 5-2 in their last 7 road games, and 5-2 last 7 with the Cards. Volstad threw a 9 inning shutout against this team last season in his only start against.

2* Yankees +112 (Colon/Verlander)
Tigers are 0-6 in their last 6 games scoring only 17 runs in those games. Colon is strong right now with a 2-0 record with a 1.84 RA since getting his chance. Verlander has a 4.18 RA over his last 4 starts.

Best of Luck to everyone tonight:0074

I like everything about this matchup EXCEPT the price. Cincy hitting .285 at home, .345 vs lefties, batting .260 and scoring 5.5 Rpg L7. Cincy hitting .308 vs Happ and Texan's pen isn't much help with that bloated, MLB worst .304 BAA. Houston bats making some noise recently hitting .273, L7, but hitting only .208 vs Leake. I'll play Cincy (-1) -127 and take my chances.... lean to the OVER also.

still looking at other....Good luck with your action
