Braves @ Marlins: Chen is on his best rest and has great splits at home this year. Teheran has not done bad vs. the Marlins or at Marlins Park. We also have the Under ump Doug Eddings behind the dish with a 5-13 O/U record. Gonna try and sweat out a couple of Unders....

Red Sox @ Orioles: So I think this is cool and is a great example of how gambling can be counter-intuitive. In the pics below, I ran the queries with win differential. In the first pic I just did the amount of wins for the road team is more than the home team. The SU win percentage is 40%. One might expect, when the win differential increases in favor of the road team, the win percentage for the home team would decrease. But that is not the case. In pic 2, I increase the win diff to 5 and the percentage for the home team goes up to 53.3%. What?? I increase it by 5 more wins in pic 3 and the percentage for the home team goes up to 71.4%. Finally, the last one goes back down to 66% but the RL is perfect 3-0. Query says 1-0 but it's wrong...should be 3-0.
Padres@Mets: The only time this situation lost was last year when the Cubs beat the Braves with John Lackey on the bump. I'm not sure why but my thought process said to immediately check how the Cubs hitting fared last year vs. the Padres hitting this season. The Cubs ranked 6th last year in the NL and the Padres rank 13th this year. I'm thinking Wheeler will have a but easier time tonight vs. the Padres than Newcomb did last season vs. the Cubs. Am I wrong to go thinking off on some weird tangent like this?
Tigers @ Royals: Lots of mojo for the home team in this situation and Tigers currently sitting at 94% consensus on ESPN Pickcenter. Tigers the public bloodbath for the evening perhaps?
