Almost certain to be on Tanaka. Better rest, better at night facing a strugling team that has beaten him frequently in spite of 4 quality home starts in a row.
Random facts
Paxton this year on 6+ 2-0 close to 1 ERA last year 1-3 over 6
Urena no examples this year. Career 0-3 over 6 ERA not sure at all that will repeat this year
Thinking about the games
Richard Clayton just Very good on 6
Newcomb 0-3 on 6+ 20 innings 6.75 ERA
Played Yanks RL and 2.5 for 2 units. Is there a problem. There may be. Emmel the ump seems to really like Baltimore and dislike Yanks. Severino low 4 ERA with him 1 game Yanks 2-8 with him last 10. Baltimore 9-1. Yanks just blast this team. Last 7 wins all 3 or greater. Not really sure he can cheat enough to stop it. Baltimore had to play almost all yesterday with the pen and Sev likes 5 and loves night games.
I have to say the Astro's game is very interesting. Seattle probably has the best pitcher even though I like Morton and he is playing at home, at night and on 5 and Seattle was swept at home recently by Houston. I am going to look at the ump before I do anything but it is not crazy at all to play Paxton
By the way I have bet Mets first 5 so far
Probably its A great day for NY but the pitcher is not good. Will at least do RL.
Cobb looks good. Great history with ump just a clear edge here. Maybe a first half bet and more
Ubaldo on 6+ 8.49 ERA based on 23.1
6 guys in line up have hit home runs 11.42 ERA this season vs them
day game problems you know whats coming slaughter
Cole is on good rest. Had 1 good game with ref and is playing on a very good day with an opponent on 2 days rest and a team that has owned him.
No idea
Verlander's got a great ump. Houston is great on Sunday and is locking things up. Also has a stupid manage RL a little 2.5
Actually skip the 2,5. Verlander used a lot of energy last game. 4 days is not his best and neither is the day. Houston is very good in the day and on Sunday but Seattle may make a real effort here
This looks like a tough day. Suter on 5 16 innings 1.13 ERA is attractive. Not a good Days play but this team Has to win and Tailion is not generally good on 6 and is in fact one of the hardest pitchers in baseball to cap
I do not want to play Arizona today but I may be forced to.
Leans to Yanks 11-4 on Monday and Baltimore 12-6. Not ready to bet any of them before umps.
Corbin recently lost at home to the Padres in a terrible game. he is generally not a good road pitcher but very good day of week, legit revenge but the Padres have one of the 2 home pitchers I pay close attention to. Looking at all the games
Already laid 1.5 with Houston. Real chance of 2.5 which I will consider after ump.
Nola this season on 5 days rest.
8-1 1.76 ERA
Darvish has pitched well with this ump first half under is also possible.
Need to look more at this incarnation of Darvish
