Tanaka is on best rest which is normally a winner But with this ump 11.25 ERA based on 8 innings. Leaning first half Rays but still thinking.
Andriese is on 5 3.20 will try Rays but also over first 5.
The over will be very light. Really scary betting vs Tanaka but the day is no friend to Tanaka and with this ump???

 

[tuck321]

Quick look at Toronto?
Sanchez should be favored. This season on 6+ ERA 1.82
very high day ERA 4.19 Very limited pitches vs Houston
Ump 8-8 home and away no history and Sanchez off 2 losses
Colin 2.84 ERA on Turf. This spread may be a little high. No play at the moment

 

[tuck321]

Hendricks at home 8-1 1.19
2.62 on 5
2.03 ERA
This is a very tough spot for a young pitcher
Lean RL input welcome

 

[tuck321]

Will list over in Boston at 10 or 10.5 with major over ump and very ragged pitchers and take some time to think

Like the cubs alot today. For the obvious reasons posted above. Thanks for all the info you post tuck very helpful.

 

[bloodhound]

good stuff tuck :shake2:

 

[tuck321]

Possible play on Arizona. Very possible play on Cleveland over. Have bet first 2 over and Shoemaker will stop it? Expecting that may be a little much. Angels are a very weak team.

Cardinals purchased the contract of RHP Luke Weaver from Triple-A Memphis.
Weaver will make his major league debut on Saturday against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, taking Michael Wacha's (shoulder) spot in the rotation. The young right-hander has put up a sparkling 1.30 ERA, 0.928 WHIP, and 92/12 K/BB ratio in 83 innings this season between Double- and Triple-A. Aug 12 - 11:03 AM

Have no doubt he is a fine young pitcher.Just a terrible spot.
Shoemaker away this year 3-8 4.89 ERA
Rackley the ump is a strong homer and clear over
Shoemaker on 5 2-4 4.57 ERA
Cleveland light over average
Locked over waiting on side till it stops dropping

Robert Whalen allowed three runs over six frames to get a no-decision in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Brewers.
This was a big improvement over Whalen's major league debut last week, as he struck out seven, walked one and gave up five hits. The 22-year-old figures to be shut down at some point since he's already blown past his career high in innings, but the Braves will likely give him a handful more starts. He'll face the Nationals this weekend. Aug 8 - 11:53 PM

Have no looked at that game yet
Seattle??Great pitcher but homer ump and good dog pitcher?
Texas seems clear Miserable road ump but Hamels has a very good record with him and the road pitcher sucks

 

[tuck321]

Milwaukee under 8.5 flat
Great under ump
2 good starters
decent weather

thought it was interesting the Rangers won 15 of their L16 games with this ref going back to 2009 - including most recently a 6-2 win Gallardo versus Boyd on Sept 30, 2015

[Rangers have] done well on Saturday nights L2 seasons

I hate playing unders with Cin bullpen. 1ST 5 though could be a consideration here.

 

[tuck321]

Already laid 1.5. Maybe add 2.5
split in NY got the over but could not hold the lead

Cincy pen no where near as bad as they were first half

 

[tuck321]

Agree. Looking at O'Nora referring Bum. Baseball-Reference shows he is .67 ERA with him. He has lost last 2 badly and is 1-2. I certainly trust them
